Initially, the owner of this property considered purchasing the two City owned properties for expansion, but since has reconsidered and would like to sell this property to the City. He stated eleven other properties were considered. Staff felt this property met the ,4noka County criteria, goals, and priorities more strongly than any other site. Nawrocki questioned spending $300,000 to purchase this property. Peterson stated $300,000 is a maximum figure, and not necessarily what would be paid for the property. Schumacher stated that the State has funds to clean up this property if the soil is spoiled. He indicated there is not a signed purchase agreement nor has a price been negotiated pending results of the Anoka County CDBG fund allocation. Schumacher indicated this application has received approval of the Economic Development Authority. Schumacher explained that Anoka County would handle the future funding of "Fix-up Funds ", however the City does still have $95,000 available for this purpose. doyce Shellito, 403 Summit Street, questioned the City's responsibility for site clean up, and what was planned for this site. She asked ifa light rail station was considered. Williams stated this request is only to submit the CDBG application. Fehst stated there are Federal limitations placed on properties purchased with CDBG funds, so all three sites would have the same restrictions applied. He also stated plans are to purchase the property, level it, and go out for Request for Proposals. Peterson gave the background of working with the gas station owner. Schumacher explained how this purchase would fit into the Comprehensive Plan. Szurek stated that developers want naked land so they can develop a site to fit their plan. Lee Stauch, 1155 Khyber Lane, asked if there was a plan for light rail transit in Columbia Heights. Peterson stated this has been considered. Stauch asked for the tax value of the gas station property. Staff will get him that information. Upon roll call vote: Williams -yes, Szurek -yes, Wyckoff-yes, Nawmcki -no, Peterson -yes.

City Council Minutes January 22, 2001 Page 11 of 13 Nawrocla' stated these funds should remain to be used for housing rehabilitation as originally intended. Wyckoff agreed, stating that many homes need rehabilitation and that comments received indicated that residents do not want rental town homes. Upon roll call vote: Williams -yes, Szurek -yes, Wyckoff-no, Nawrocki -no, Peterson -yes. Motion carried - three ayes, two nays. Peterson stated that after the $127,000 transfer of funds, the City still has $95,000 available for housing rehabilitation loans, and the Fix-Up Fund will still be an ongoing program through Anoka County. Williams would like this information out to the public. Fehst stated this is published in the City newsletter. Peterson suggested running this information on the City cable channel. Susan Moos asked if these fix up funds are also available to landlords. Nawrocla' stated it is for single - family residents only. However, there are other grants and loans available. 4) Approve Purchase Agreement for Single Family Residential Property at 4542 Washington Street Motion by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the purchase agreement for the acquisition of 4542 Washington Street in the amount of $108,000 for flood mitigation purposes with funds fi.om the City's Storm Water Utility and DNR Flood Mitigation Grant funds on a 50/50 cost share. Hansen referred to his handout, which included the Wilson Development Services market analysis. He gave background information dealing with flood problem areas and the negotiations for the properties. Three properties were recommended for purchase from the 1998 storm water survey. One owner has withdrawn and oneproperty has been purchased. The Lake State Appraisal Service value on 4542 Washington Street was $104,000. The negotiated settlement is for $108,000. Hansen stated the ftooding impact this property has on the surrounding area. Funding is a 50/50 ftood mitigation grant with the DNR. The City has been awarded over $400,000 in grant money. Nawrocki indicated flooding problems should be considered when determining the fair market value for the property. Fehst contacted a local realtor who indicated the assessed value is well below market value, as most homes in Columbia Heights are selling for over $100,000. Hansen stated the assessed value of the home this year is $80,700. Hansen indicated that after removal of the home, a ponding area would be created, allowing water to pool and slowly recede through storm sewer. Upon roll call vote: Williams -yes, Szurek -yes, Wyckoff -yes, Nawrocki -no, Peterson -yes. Motion carried, four ayes, one nay. 5) Authorize Reallocation of funds to the Fire Department Motion by Szurek, .second by Williams, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to transfer $10,755.50 from Fund 101-00-34202 to Fire Department Fund 101-42200-2173 (2001 Budget). Charlie Thompson, Fire Chief, stated that on October 20, 2000, the Columbia Heights Fire Department responded to the Carlos Avery Edge fire with twenty firefighters logging over 200 hours. As this ftre was declared a disaster by FEMA we were reimbursed for salaries, field costs, benefits, and for vehicle usage. His request is to use these funds toward the purchase of additional City Council Minutes January 22, 2001 Page 12 of 13 protective gear, above the eight sets budgeted for in 2001. This cost would be $11,060 for 14 sets of turn out gear. Nawrocki opposed amending the budget, as there may be unexpected expenditures later in the year where these funds may be needed. He inspected the equipment and supported purchasing the 14 new sets of gear, but stated the entire amount should not be allocated to this fund. Thompson indicated that helmets, gloves and boots are also purchased from this fund. He indicated their supply has been depleted to a dangerously low level, and these items are needed to keep firefighters safe. Szurek stated that when inspecting the currently used suits, one of the firefighters explained that after a suite is exposed to smoke and fire it becomes less effective and ifa suit is covered in tar it becomes flammable. She stated these items are required for the safety of our firefighters and should not be "cheapened out on ". Secondary Motion by Nawrocki that the $10,755.50 to be transferred be amended to read $6,000. Secondary Motion died for lack of a second. Upon vote of the primary motion: All ayes. Motion carried. 6) Authorize Purchase of 14 sets of Turnout Gear for the Fire Department Motion by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to approve the purchase of 14 new sets of Turnout Gear fi.om Danko Emergency Equipment for a total of $11,060 plus any additional taxes fi.om Fire Department fund 101-42200-2173, Protective Clothing and Gear.

He indicated that Rep. Goodwin would keep us apprised of any related legislative action. Staff attempted to obtain specifics on the budget, but know that funds will be used for lobbying efforts and that private liquor stores will contribute up to $60,000 toward this effort. It is anticipated that grocery stores will spend up to $200,000 on lobbying efforts. Fehst requested allocation of up to $3,000, conditioned upon reviewing their budget. Fehst commented on the consequences of this legislation. Wyckoff questioned municipal wine sale income. Elrite stated wine sales each year are over $500,000. Elrite indicated that if this legislation passed our profits could decrease about $100,000. Nawrocki gave the history on restricted liquor sales. He felt the financial loss to the community should be a concern, and it is important to control the dispensing of beverages for public safety. Peterson requested the City Manager contact Councilmembers before issuing a check. Motion by Williams, second by Szurek, to table action on funding opposition to the sale of wine in grocery store lobbying effort. Nawrocki stated it may be a mistake to hold this up, as the Legislature is in session. Motion and second withdrawn by Williams and Szurek. City Council Minutes January 22, 2001 Page 13 of 13 Fehst stated the original request was for $10,000. Fehst will get additional information on their plan is and notify Councilmembers.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of :February 12, 2001 AGENDA SECTION: Coment Li _ ~ _ t~ ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: Recreation APPROVAL ITEM: Request of fees waived for the 1 ~ Annual "Taste of BY: Keith Windschit B Columbia Heights" DATE: February 2, 2001"' NO: BACKGROUND: At the January 24, 2001 Park and Recreation Commission meeting, the Human Services Commission requested that the fee for Murzyn Hall be waived for the first annual "Taste of Columbia Heights" to be held on Sunday, March 25, 2001. The Recreation Director informed the Park and Recreation Commission that since there was no event scheduled for that Sunday, it would require eight (8) hours of staff time to clean and reset the hall from the prior evenings event, four (4) hours to staff the proposed event, and an additional six (6) hours to clean and reset the hall after the requested event to accommodate a 6:30 a.m. rental on Monday morning, March 26, 2001. By waiving the fee for this event, the Murzyn Hall budget would incur a loss of a minimum of $225.00 in staff costs. The Park and Recreation Commission recently established a policy regarding fee waived groups utilizing Murzyn Hall when the hall is not normally staffed. The adopted policy states that fee waived groups using the hall during non scheduled hours would be charged a $40.00 enta'y fee and a $15.00 per hour staffing fee, rather than the normal rental rate. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION: The Park and Recreation Commission supports this "Taste of Columbia Heights" community event. The Commission also feels that they need to adhere to the policy recently established, making it consistent with all current and future requests in the use of Murzyn Hall during non scheduled hours. The Commission felt that if the fee was to be waived in it's entirety, it should be done so by the City Council. RECOMMIgNDED MOTION: Move to waive ~ll ~.~ Murzyn Hall rental fees for the 1~t Annual "Taste of Columbia Heights."

Hansen ~ BY:Y.'/6~' ~r ACQUISITION FOR CENTRAL AVENUE AND AUTHORIZING CITY ATTORNEY TO BEGIN LAND ACQUSITION FOR CENTRAL AVENUE STREET, UTILITY AND STREETSCAPING IMPROVEMENTS Background The City Council previously awarded the final design services for Central Avenue Stxeet and Utility Improvements to BRW at their February 28, 2000 regular meeting. The final design work as identified in the Engineering Study, includes utilities: water main, sanitary sewer and storm sewer; and street reconstruction which includes center medians, concrete curb and gutter, pavement and sidewalks. The initial estimated cost of the work was $850,000 for utilities and $1,745,000 for street improvements. On October 9, 2000, the Council awarded the final design of streetscaping to BRW with an estimated cost of $760,000. Analysis/Conclusions: Design work has been completed for the stxeet and utility plans and been submitted to Mn/DOT State Aid for their review process. A comment that has been received is that constxuction must be completed within fight-of-way limits and all permanent improvements must be within fight-of-way or permanent easements. Certain portions of the roadway currently exist outside of the fight-of-way (ROW). Additionally, certain segments of the sidewalk are not within easement fight-of-way. In order to execute the cooperative agreement with Mn/DOT, fight-of-way and easements will have to be acquired. Mn/DOT will not allow the project to be awarded until all reviewing divisions have signed off on the plan review, potentially delaying the project. Public Works staff has instructed BRW to modify the plan sets in some areas to eliminate the need for easements but in some areas this cannot be accomplished. The six properties listed below have been identified for right-of-way and/or easement acquisitions: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

At that meeting, it had been the recommendation of the Fire Department to close the hearing because the owner had brought the property into compliance with the Residential Maintenance Code. When the matter came before the City Council, a tenant from 4640 Polk Street, Apartment ~4 spoke before the Council regarding violations she believed existed still at the building. Action on the Public Heating was tabled until the next regular City Council meeting and Assistant Fire ChiefAlexon was directed to investigate the claims made by the tenant. Assistant ChiefAlexon received a verbal list of violations from the tenant and scheduled an appointment with the tenant to view the violations personally. The violations alleged by the tenant were not related to those violations involved with the Public Heating. The tenant also was not home at the time set for an inspection of her unit. The tenant did not follow up on her complaint beyond this point with Assistant Chief Alexon. The public heating on this property may now be closed in that the owner has brought the property/building into compliance with the Residential Maintenance Code. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Close the Public Heating Regarding the Revocation or Suspension of the Rental License Held by Connie Johnson Regarding Rental Property at 4640 & 4648 Polk Street in that the Property is in Compliance with the Residential Maintenance Code.

After further discussions with the developer and NEI, the request was made to remove that drainage and utility easement from the plat and recreate it in a separate recordable easement document. Attached is a copy of the Northwestern Second Addition plat showing the affected area. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed the request from the developer and NEI College of Technology and recommends approval of the amendment to the plat subject to recreation of the drainage and utility easement in a separate recordable document satisfactory to the City.

OLD BUSINESS SEPARATE MURZYN HALL BUDGET FOR MAJOR EXPENSES Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, talked to the City Manager in length regarding the addition of a capital improvement budget for Murzyn Hall which the city does not currently operate. The problem faced every year is that these large expenses are taken from the regular Murzyn Hall budget which makes it fluctuate greatly depending on what is needed. Commission member, Bob Ruettimann, indicated that it might be good to have other city departments pay for their usage of Murzyn Hall any time they use it for meetings, programs, (etc.). Currently, no city department is being charged anything for the usage of the hall. PAGE TWO NEW BUSINESS MURZYN HALL ROOF LEAKS Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, reported on the leaks in Murzyn Hall. The Recreation office, senior center, and the main hall porch area have all had leaks this year. The most significant of these three being in the main hall in the back left comer. Public Works steamed parts of the roof over a period of four days. At this time, the leaks appeared to have ceased but little can be done to prevent further leaks in the future. YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE The Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, stated that the Recreation Department is looking at different options for our Youth Football League. Currently, the Youth Football League participates in the North Metro program. Due to the problems of constant changing of schedules, weight limits, referees not showing up for games, Columbia Heights losing all home field advantage, and only having six to eight games, the Recreation Department is looking at the Blaine Organization which would guarantee ten games with some home games. No decision has been made at this time. NEI MAINTENANCE Harry Wilcox, from NEI, contacted the Park and Recreation Department stating that the Recreation Department would be unable to use the east gym due to the problem in the gym floor. The center of the floor is soft and weak with no support underneath the suspended floor. Gregg Gagnon contacted a wood floor company to inspect the damages. The floor contractor put two cases of epoxy down underneath the floor costing $400.00. The Columbia Heights High School Athletic Director said that the school would pay for half of the cost due to them also using the NEI gyms. Commission member, Jerry Foss, asked if any work has been done on the west gym due to the poor condition that it is in. He stated that the west gym is used extensively by the high school and traveling basketball teams. The Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters also sponsor an annual youth state basketball tournament that is held in the west gym. Due to the poor shape and unsafe conditions of our gyms, the Boosters will be losing the tournament in 2003 which generates a loss of around $ I 0,000.00 for the Boosters. REVIEW 2001 DNR OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANTS Public Works Director/City Engineer, Kevin Hansen, stated that the state is holding over the denied grants fi.om last year for this year on Ramsdell Park and Prestemon Park. Commissison member, Jerry Foss, asked if it looks like we will get the grants this year. The Program Administrator couldn't say one way or the other if the grant would be approved but she said there is federal money being offered in 2001 which doubles the program dollar availability that can be distributed. Applications are due by March 31, 2001, and they usually make notification at the PAGE THREE end of May, first part of June. REPORTS RECREATION DIRECTOR Keith Windschitl passed around the Star Tribune paper which featured the Senior Safety Camp in which our Senior Program participated. The Senior Safety Camp featured: home safety, medications, and daily preventions. Twenty seniors from our Senior Program participated. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER Kevin Hansen made members aware of the band shell that had been demolished. Public Works will be removing the debris. This spring they will be laying top soil, and seed will be brought in. Commission member, Bob Ruettimann, questioned the hill at Labelle Park on whether or not Public Works was able to keep the hill fi.om washing out the seed. Kevin Hansen said they have been grading and fertilizing, but it is just washing in certain parts. COMMISSION MEMBERS Jerry Foss asked Kevin Hansen if Public Works had received any preliminary heatings on how the ice skating rinks were doing this year. Kevin Hansen stated that due to the weather we have had this winter, the attendance was up this year. He did not have any numbers with him. Public Works usually has the report done in February. Jerry also inquired about the ability to staff the ice skating rinks. Kevin Hansen said that the staffing turnout was high as the summer help staffed the ice skating rinks this winter. Jemy Foss asked the Park and Recreation board if the scoreboard in Huset Park would be replaced. Kevin Hansen stated that the scoreboard was not in the five year capital plan. Keith Windschitl thought that the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters might want to put their name on the score board. The Recreation Department is trying to get a scoreboard to be used fi.om one of the dugouts which would eliminate hiring staff to run the scoreboard. Jerry Foss also stated that the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters gave $20,000 to the Recreation Department for the year 2001. Bob Ruettimann also inquired whether or not the fence would be moved back to regulation size in Huset Park on the sotlball field and stated that unless the city can acquire the railroad, nothing will be done to redesign the park. Nothing will be done unless the city ends up with the land or expands. Kevin Hansen stated that land acquisition costs for park development are ineligible costs under the Recreation Grant. PAGE FOUR Bob Ruettimann announced the he would like to spend more time with his family resulting in this being his last year on the Park and Recreation Commission Board. He will serve on the Park and Recreation Commission Board until his position is filled. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Foss, second by Niemeyer to adjourn. All ayes, motion carried.

STATUS OF COMMISSION The Recording Secretary stated that Brian Peterson has asked to be reappointed, and nothing has been heard from the Chief Judge yet on this reappointment. There are still two openings besides that at this time. The President stated there were two applications for membership to the Charter Commission received, one from Bob Buboltz, and one from John Banyard. Their applications were reviewed. Motion by Michael Hartel, seconded by Joe Sturdevant, to advise the Chief Judge there would be no problem appointing both of these individuals. Motion passed unanimously. Theresia Synowczynski stated that there is one citizen that should not be appointed to the Charter Commission, that being Don Jolly. Mr. Jolly has stated publicly in our local newspaper that he wants to be appointed to the commission, but only to abolish it. Discussion then ensured briefly regarding abolishing the charter and how that could be done. The City Attorney stated that there are two ways, one being the City Council could initiate that action and have it put on the ballot for the people to decide. Another way would be ifa majority of the Charter Commission members voted to abolish it, then the City Council would have to vote unanimously to abolish it. ANNUAL DINNER MEETING The annual dinner meeting is next Thursday, January 25, 2001, at The Shorewood Inn, with a brief meeting at 6 p.m., and dinner at 6:30 p.m. APPROVAL OF ANNUAL REPORT A draft of the 2000 annual report of the Charter Commission was prepared by the Recording Secretary and provided to all members of the commission for their review/approval. Motion by Tom Ramsdell, seconded by Theresia Synowczynski, to accept the report as prepared. Motion passed unanimously. The Recording Secretary will forward the report to the Chief Judge and the City Clerk. OLD BUSINESS Discussion of Chapter 8, Section 77, Special Assessments The City Attorney explained that regarding this section, we could either keep the current language in the charter or adjust it according to State Statutes 429. We still have to comply with State Statutes. The City Attorney explained the two main differences between State Statutes and the Charter language. The first difference is that State Statutes call for a simply majority vote of the city council to approve the special assessment project. The Charter states that a 4/5 approval vote of the council is needed. The second difference is that State Statutes state that the special assessment levied cannot be more than double the assessed value. The Charter states that the special assessment cannot be more than 50% of the assessed value. The rest of Chapter 429 of State Statues must be followed, per the City Attorney. January 18,2001 Page 2 Councilmember Bruce Nawrocki arrived at the meeting at 7:27 p.m. Ted Landwehr stated he liked the 4/5 vote required by the charter. Tom Ramsdell thought the simple majority would be all right. President Ericson pointed out a discrepancy in the comparison of statutory vs. charter provisions chart to the City Attorney. The City Attorney stated that it takes a simple majority of the council to accept the bid of the lowest responsible bidder for the special assessment project. After discussion, it was decided that the City Attorney would go through the wording of this section and clean up the procedural language and present language to the commission at their next meeting in April. Discussion on Chapter 9, Sections 87°92, Eminent Domain The City Attorney stated we have to follow State Statutes 117 dealing with Eminent Domain. State Statutes 463 allows for eminent domain for streets, roadways, and along parks. The City Attorney stated that recently this statute was declared unconstitutional. Theresia Synowczynski wondered if we could highlight certain main sections of the statues if we are going to reference specific State Statutes. It was also suggested that perhaps an appendix could be placed at the back of the Charter regarding State Statutes 117, as well as referring to it in this chapter. The pros and cons of doing that were discussed. Ted Landwehr questioned if the charter doesn't deviate from state statutes that much, why change it? The City Attorney stated that it doesn't address enough of the specifics. He felt we could take out almost all of Chapter 9, and just insert a brief paragraph with reference to State Statute 117. The City Attorney will have suggested new language on this section for our next meeting. Discussion of Chapter 10, Sections 93-101, Franchises The City Attorney explained that the State Statutes restrict cities from treating franchise applicants in a different manner--must negotiate on same terms. He explained the charter has additional requirements as well, and they are not unconstitutional or interfere with any state or federal laws. For example, with the charter, if there were two franchises competing, and the same terms were negotiated, there is the possibility that citizens could come up with a referendum to stop one or the other (see Section 99). Theresia Synowczynski asked about whether there is a user fee for using the street. The City Attorney stated that we do not need to address this in the charter. The League of Minnesota Cities has generated a model Right of Way ordinance. After discussion, it was decided to have the City Attorney clean up the procedural language in this chapter as well, and bring it to our next meeting in April. Discussion of Chapter 11, Public Ownership and Operation of Utilities The City Attorney will clean up. Discussion of Chapter 12, Section 109, City Property Not Lost by Adverse Possession The City Attorney did not feel it was a problem to leave in. Discussion of Chapter 12, Section 111, Vacation of Streets There was a question raised about the wording "subject to popular referendum" in this section. January 18,2001 Page 3 Discussion of Chapter 12, Section 112, Damage Suits It was questioned if this is all covered by State Statutes, does it need to be in there? The City Attorney felt several of these were transition issues when Columbia Heights went from a village to a city. A lot of these things do not have to be in there now. Discussion of Chapter 12, Section 114, City to Succeed Rights and Obligations of Village The City Attorney suggested this section be removed. Other New Business Theresia Synowczynski suggested that perhaps the Charter Commission would like to invite the City Manager to our April 19th meeting. She also brought up that in the past, a yearly joint meeting with the City Council has been held. Tami Ericson will contact the City Council and the City Manager regarding both items. The President noted on John Banyard's application that he had checked three other boards/commissions he was interested in serving on. The Recording Secretary was asked to contact him and verify that he was interested in serving on the Charter Commission before sending his application on to the Chief Judge.
