The Fire Academy offers many courses for firefighters and fire service managers, including the Executive Fire Officer (EFO) program. Former Fire Chief Charlie Kewatt attended the EFO program and recommended that Assistant Fire Chief Dana Alexon also attend this program. The City Manager has agreed that this program would be beneficial to the city and the fire department. The EFO program consists of four courses that are taken over a four-year period of time. Each course is two weeks long, held at the Fire Academy, and requires a research paper to be completed following the course. There is no cost for the courses, and the Federal government pays for all travel expenses except for meals. Analysis: After receiving approval from the City Manager, Assistant ChiefAlexon applied for and was accepted to the Executive Fire Officer program. He attended the first class in the program in February 2000. The required research paper was graded 3.9 of 4.0 possible points. He has been scheduled for the second class in the program, called Strategic Management of Change, from January 8, 2001 through January 19, 2001. The cost of meals will be $174.00. City Council approval is required since the course is longer than 3 working days. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Assistant Fire Chief to attend the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland from January 8, 2001 to January 19, 2001 and that expenses be reimbursed from the appropriate account. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: November 27, 2000 AGENDA SECTION: NO: CONSENT ITEM: NO: CLARIFICATION REVISIONS TO LETTER OF AGREEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES REGARDING CABLE & TELECOMMUNICATIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL In April of 1990, the City of Columbia Heights entered into a letter of agreement with Thomas Creighton of Bernick and Lifson, for provision of legal services involving cable related matters. Since the initial letter of agreement, two amendments to the original letter of agreement were made, adjusting hourly rates for services rendered. The most recent amendment was passed by the Council March 22, 1999, and was effective March 29, 1999. In May of 2000, Thomas Creighton, along with the two other Telecommunications Attorneys with Bernick and Lifson, Michael Bradley and Stephen Guzzetta, left to form their own firm of Creighton, Bradley, and Guzzetta. Subsequently, we continued using Thomas Creighton, Michael Bradley, and Stephen Guzzetta for our cable and telecommunications issues. For clarification purposes, it is recommended that a new letter of agreement be entered into with Creighton, Bradley, and Guzzetta. Attached is a copy of the revised Letter of Agreement. The letter of agreement is consistent with the current letter of agreement, with the only changes being to specify the current law firm, clarify services to include both cable and telecommunications matters, incorporate the current hourly rates, and include changes in hourly rates effective January 1, 2001. At their meeting of November 16, 2000, staff addressed the revised letter of agreement with the Telecommunications Commission. It was the consensus of the commission that the City enter into the revised Letter of Agreement with Creighton, Bradley, and Guzzetta. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Letter of Agreement with Creighton, Bradley, and Guzzetta for legal services provided for cable and telecommunications matters.

'7 Issue Statement: This is a request for the City Council to consider adopting a Telecommunication Tower Siting Ordinance that the City currently needs in order to address Telecommunication and Antennae requests. Background: The project has a rather extensive background, in which the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Telecommunications Commission have reviewed the proposed ordinance and had a chance to comment and recommend changes to the ordinance. The City Council met on November 13, 2000, and recommended to table the first reading of Ordinance # 1424 to allow for further review by the Telecommunications Commission. Analysis: The City of Columbia Heights has been involved in an extensive process to update the City Zoning Ordinance. The City' s Attorney for cable and telecommunications issues, Steve Guzzetta has prepared this Tower Siting Ordinance for the City which has been proposed to be adopted independently, and eventually incorporated into the new Zoning Ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the draft Telecommunications Ordinance on October 3, 2000 with staff, and the Attorney, Steve Guzzetta, and has determined the ordinance to be consistent with new federal telecommunications standards. There is currently a moratorium in place on telecommunications and antennae that expires December 7, 2000. Staff is recommending that this moratorium be extended until final adoption of the Tower Siting Ordinance. At the November Planning Commission meeting, staff and Planning and Zoning Commission members expressed some concern with Annual Registration Requirements in Section 15 of the Ordinance 1424, pages 24-25. The concern was expressed that staff may have a difficult time in trying to establish a monitoring system to keep track of all Wireless Telecommunications Facilities and Wireless Communications Towers on an annual basis. The Telecommunications Commission met on November 16, 2000, and reviewed questions posed by Ken Henke with Attorney, Steve Guzzetta. After review and discussion, the Telecommunications Commission passed a motion recommending that the City Council hold its first reading of Ordinance # 1424 on November 27, 2000, at 7:00 .p.m. and proceed with the second reading and its adoption. Recommended Motions: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance 1424, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to establish Monday, December 11, 2000, at approximately 7:00 p.m. as the second reading of Ordinance 1424, Columbia Heights Tower Siting Ordinance.

Background: The project has a rather extensive background which is summarized in the attached staff report. The Planning Commission had recommended in April 2000, that the City Council adopt the Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plan. The City Council heard the request in April, June, and November 2000, and recommended to approve the Preliminary Plan for the Planned Unit Development on November 13, 2000. The Planning Commission will be meeting on Monday, November 27, 2000, at 6:00 p.m to review and approve the conditional use permit for the Final Planned Unit Development. The Planning Commission will take action on this request at 6:00 p.m., and the City Council will then take action on the Final Planned Unit Development Plan at the meeting starting at 7:00 p.m. Analysis: The attached staff report contains a technical zoning analysis for the proposed project. In addition to information contained in the report, there are some issues that will need resolution prior to final approval of the development. These are summarized below. 1. On-street parking. There are 44 on-street permit parking spaces proposed along 41st Avenue NE and Jackson Street NE. The Traffic Commission reviewed the proposal on Nov. 6, 2000, and recommended denial of the proposal for NEI on-street permit parking. The City Council had a first reading for the proposed parking ordinance on November 13, 2000, and decided to pass the first reading of the parking ordinance which is scheduled for a second reading on November 27, 2000. 2. Utilities. At the April 4, 2000, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, and at the November 13, 2000, City Council meeting, a number of citizens voiced concerns about the ability of the storm water and sanitary sewer systems to handle any increase from the proposed project. The utility plans have been reviewed by the Public Works Department which has determined that the proposed development will not increase the amount of stormwater runoff, and the sanitary sewer and water utilities are adequately designed. Recommendation: During their meeting of November 13, 2000, the City Council reviewed the proposal and voted to recommend approval of the Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plan subject to certain conditions listed below. The Planning Commission will be meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, November 27, 2000, prior to the City Council and will submit recommendations on the Final Planned Unit Development to the City Council. Motion: Final Plan for the Planned Unit Development Move to approve the Conditional Use Permit for the Final Planned Unit Development at 825 41s' Avenue NE, 4150 Central Avenue NE, 4157 Jackson Street, and 4156 Central Avenue NE, subject to the following conditions.

Prior to the meeting, Bob had provided me with scale drawings of the space available. Using the space needs study conducted by the City and space standards required for a public library of our size, I did a very rough concept of how the layout could work.

Rebecca Loader SUBJECT: Written proposal from Bob Grootwassink DATE: October 31, 2000 I have received a written proposal from Bob Grootwassink concerning the Library renting the previous Marshall's site in the Columbia Heights Center. (See attached copy). This proposal results in the following: 1. Rent for the first five years without any additional options (such as carpeting) amortized into the rent would be $99,008 per year. 2. Rent for years six through ten without any additional options and without any changes to CAM, real estate taxes or insurance (which would change based on increases in charges) would be $117,208 per year. 3.

We believe this is possible. In talking with our attorney, he thinks the property can be plotted in separate parcels to enable us to sell. Enclosed also are new layouts showing the exact measurements and a plan showing the building plus the parking lot with the idea of a sale rother than a lease. I hired RC Drafting to do an exact measurement of the space showing all walls and the bathroom that were not on your plan. I look forward to our next meeting on the 15m. Sincerel ' Robert E.

The chassis was purchased new in 1985 for $ 33,710, with a projected life of 15 years. The odometer reading is 45,000 and 6,213 hours of operation have been recorded since an hour meter was installed in 1992. The manual transmission is very difficult to shift and is no longer in production. The transmission linkage was poorly designed has been replaced several times. The 2 speed differential needs to be replaced. Drive belts for the air compressor that supplies air to operate the flush controls are no longer available. The mechanics have rated the overall mechanical condition as fair to poor. The body condition is fair. The water tank interior is stainless steel with a steel exterior hull. The attached spraying system is adequate and could be reconditioned with minor valve and pipe replacements. Unit #17 is used by the Street Dept. during street sweeping operations to rinse the streets and control dust. It is used by the Park Dept. to flood skating rinks, water trees, sod, and ballfields. It is used by the Sewer and Water Dept. as an auxiliary water supply for sewer cleaning equipment. Analysis/Conclusions: The entire unit was scheduled for replacement in 2000 under the Capital Equipment Plan with an estimated cost of $110,000. Public Works has obtained cost estimates and has developed three option plans with cost estimates: Keep Unit #17. Convert the transmission from standard to automatic, complete the other necessary repairs to the chassis, recondition the water tank and flushing system. The estimated cost is $30,000. Replace Unit #17 chassis and recondition the existing water tank and flushing system. The estimated cost is $55,000. Purchase a new chassis, water tank and flushing system. The estimated cost is $105,000. Staff recommends replacing Unit #17 chassis and reconditioning the existing water tank and flushing system. Unit #17 chassis is proposed to be disposed of by auction. November 20, 2000 Work Session Replacement of Unit # 17, 1985 Ford C700 Water Flush Truck Page 2 Requested Action: Authorization to seek bids for one (1) new Cab-over Cargo Chassis and reconditioning of the existing water tank and flushing system. The estimated cost of $55,000 would be appropriated from Capital Equipment Replacement Fund #431-43121-5150. City of Columbia Heights Public Works Department Work Session Discussion Item: f Work Session Date: November 20, 2000 Prepared by: Kevin Hansen, Director of Public Works Item: Authorization to proceed with purchase agreement for single family residential properties (2) as recommended in the 1999 Storm Water Study Background: An extensive engineering study was tradertaken in 1998 and completed in 1999 evaluating various locations throughout the City with storm water problems. The largest study area, Jackson Pond, recommended the most feasible alternative for three separate sites would be the acquisition, demolition, and site grading of three residential properties. At their September 12% 2000 regular meeting, the Council authorized the firm of Wilson Development to assist the City with the acquisition process. The third property, located at 4330 Washington, has withdrawn from the process and is not interested in selling their property as part of this process. Analysis/Conclusions: An independent appraisal firm, hired by the City, has performed a complete property appraisal with the estimated market value and comparable for each property as follows: Market Value Comparable Total · 4542 Washington $104,000 $16,000 $120,000 · 1307 42"d Avenue $106,000 $13,900 $119,900 Comparables may be required in the event that the current owners were to move to another home in the general area, and what the adjustment is the cost of housing for a 'comparable' home. The comparable in each case was determined by Wilson Development. These figures do not include moving costs nor adjustments for interest rates differences, also requirements under the law. It is the intent of this process for the sale of property to be performed by negotiation, with the offering price indicated as negotiated by Wilson Development. Funding will be provided by the City' s Storm Water Utility and DNR Flood Mitigation Grant funds, which have been awarded. Requested Action: Authorization for purchase offers to be made for the Fair Market Value for 4542 Washington Street and 1307 42"d Avenue, as recommended by Wilson Development Services. Further costs, such as moving expenses and interest rate adjustments are not included and would be listed as an additional cost separately in the final purchase agreement.
