POLICE APPROVAL:,/t' ITEM: Purchase of Laser Speed Guns from Capital BY: Thomas M. Johnson ~ BY.' ~t/~'.t~ NO Improvement Fund DATE: May 3, 2001 C~) BACKGROUND In the 2001 Police Capital Equipmem Replacement Fund ~431, the Police Department included $8,500 for the replacement of two laser speed guns, which were purchased in 1996. Sergeant Val Dietz has researched the laser speed guns available and has received price quotes from three different companies: Laser Technology (LTI) Stalker Kustom Signals Inc. $3,420 each plus tax $3,425 each plus tax $3,495 each plus tax While at the Minnesota Police Chiefs conference in St. Cloud, Sergeant Dietz was able to have each of these lasers demonstrated for him and he has read the documentation for each laser. After completing this research, Sergeant Dietz is recommending that we purchase two LTI laser speed guns. Sergeant Dietz notes that he feels the LTI is superior to the rest of the laser speed guns. Sergeant Dietz also notes that the LTI is 100 per cent waterproof and will take three standard C cell batteries, which should last three weeks under normal use. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION After researching three different brands and checking the Minnesota State contracts, the Columbia Heights Police Department is recommending the purchase of two Ultralyte 100 LTI laser speed guns at a cost of $3,420 each plus tax, purchase to be made through Laser Technology Inc., 7070 South Tucson Way, Englewood, Colorado 80112. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the purchase of two Ultralyte 100 LTI laser speed guns at a cost of $3,420 each plus tax, with funding to come from the 2001 Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, and that the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to enter into a contract for same.

The Building Official has mailed notices to all entities having an interest in the property and they have not complied with the Notice and Order and have allowed the condition to remain deteriorated. A licensed contractor will have to terminate water and sewer services. The property owner has ignored the attached correspondence including the Notice And Orders. No formal appeal has been filed by any of the interested parties. The dwelling does not meet current Zoning Code requirements for minimum size, hard surfaced parking, and a garage. It is a sub-standard dwelling located in the R-2 Zoning District. Staff has attached copies of previous Notices. Staff has delayed enfomement actions up to this date due to the listing at Anoka County of four different entities having an interest in the property. Funds for this action are available in the 415 PIR Fund (Abatement Fund). Costs of this action will be assessed to the property in the form of a special assessment tax. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of resolution 2001-34, there being ample copies available to the public. Recommended Motion: Move to Adopt Resolution 2001-34, being a resolution requesting removal of the hazardous structure located at 4356 N.E. 5* Street; and that the Structure/Building be razed and the lot graded for future development. COUNCIL ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 2001-34 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS REQUESTING REMOVAL OF HAZARDOUS STRUCTURE LOCATED AT: 4356 N.E. 5th Street, Columbia Heights, Minnesota, PIN # 35-30-24-21-0121, LOT I, BLOCK 1, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS ANNEX TO MPLS, ANOKA COUNTY, MN. WHEREAS, there is a substandard building 4356 N.E. 5~ Street which has been dilapidated, substandard and abandoned for a period longer than 12 months, and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statute 463.15 to 463.26 authorizes municipalities to address hazardous and substandard structures and properties, and WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights finds this property to be hazardous based on the following code violations as contained in the Finds of Fact: FINDINGS OF FACT Dangerous Building Definitions Chapter 3 of the 1994 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings: 302(9) Whenever, for any reason, the building or structure, or any portion thereof, is manifestly unsafe for the purpose for which it is being used. 302(11) Whenever the building or structure, exclusive of the foundation, shows 33 percent or more damage or deterioration of its supporting members, or 50 pement damage or deterioration of its non supporting members, enclosing or outside walls or coverings. 302(12) Whenever the building or structure has been so damaged by fire, wind, or flood, or has become so dilapidated or deteriorated as to become (i) an attractive nuisance to children; (ii) a harbor for vagrants, criminals, or immoral persons; or as to (iii) enable persons to resort thereto for the purpose of committing unlawful or immoral acts. 302(17) Whenever any building or structure is in such a condition as to constitute a public nuisance known to the common law or in equity jurisprudence. 302(18) Whenever any portion of a building or structure remains on a site after the demolition or destruction of the building or structure or whenever any building or structure is abandoned for a period in excess of six months so as to constitute such building or portion thereof an attractive nuisance or hazard to the public. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED on the Building Official's conclusions that, the structures at 3900 Northeast Central Avenue are substandard and seriously deteriorated, that they lack minimum standards for habitable space per 1995 MN State Building Code and 1994 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, and the Building Official is recommending the structures be removed, and the lot be graded eliminating the need for a retaining wall.

Fehst COLUMBIA HEIGHTS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: May 18, 2001 TO: FROM: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers Randy Schumacher, Acting Community Development Director~--'~ 2002-2004 CDBG Urban County Qualification Anoka County has been notified by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that it is time for a new 3-year cycle of Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Program funding. In 1987, Columbia Heights signed a Joint Cooperation Agreement with Anoka County to receive Community Development Block Grant Funds. The new 3-year agreement offers communities the opportunity to "opt out" of the Community Development Block Grant Program. If Columbia Heights decides to "opt out" of the CDBG Program, it would reduce Anoka Counties CDBG population count and entitlement amount, and Columbia Heights would not be eligible to receive CDBG fimds through the Anoka County program for the upcoming year and possibly through June 30, 2005. If Columbia Heights would like to stay in the program, no action is necessary. If Columbia Heights wants to have its population excluded fi.om Anoka County's total for the CDBG and-HOME Programs, we must provide notice in writing to Jennifer Bergman, Anoka County Government Center, and also to Maria Paulson, CPD Representative, 220 South 2na Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401 NO LATER THAN JUNE 1, 2001. If Columbia Heights does "opt out", we would not be eligible for Community Development Block Grant or HOME Funds through Anoka County. If Columbia Heights chose to "opt out" of Anoka Counties CDBG Program, the City could apply for CDBG Funds under HUD-ADMINISTERED Small Cities or State CDBG program. In discussing this option with the Deputy Director at the State level, he indicated that since funds are already available within our own county they would not look favorably at our application. THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN EMPLOYMENT OR THE PROVISION Of SERVICES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER If the City were to "opt out" of the Anoka County CDBG Program, we would have to compete with 80 other counties and 750 other cities for this state funding. In the last cycle of state funding they received 107 applications and funded 39 at a level ranging fi.om $180,000 to $1,400,000, none of which were in the seven county area. In addition, the state does not fund any public service agencies and we would loose all such funding for City programs such as SACA, etc. One final negative in considering the State CDBG alternative, Columbia Heights residents would not be eligible for Housing Rehab Funds set aside each year for county wide use. Anoka County set aside over $500,000 for this program in funding year 2001-2002. Therefore, in reviewing the pros and cons for State versus County CDBG Programs, I would recommend that the City of Columbia Heights choose not to "opt out" of the Anoka County program for the reasons I have stated in the above narrative. If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact me. C~ CDBG Files Tim Johnson, City Planner H:~Tim~2002-04 CDBG Urban CnW Qual. Cit~ of Columbia Heights Public Works Department Work Session Discussion Item Work Session Date: May 21, 2001 ~ Prepared by: Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director/City Enginee~;~>~ Item: Review of televising and inspection reports for Sanitary Sewer in Zone 5 Background: As part of the Street Rehabilitation zone work, staff annually reviews the condition of the underground utilities. For the sanitary sewer lines, recent inspection logs may be used or the lines may be televised. Staffthen makes a determination if any corrective action is necessary. Public Works Utility staff completed the process of cleaning and televising the lateral lines in Zone 5. This whole area is served by a trunk system consisting of 2,321 lineal feet of 12" and 1,836 lineal feet of 15" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). These trunk lines have not been cleaned and televised in excess of 15 years and were suspected to be extremely dirty. Due to the size and depth of the lines and their existing condition, this portion of the work was contracted out to Infratech Technologies in February and is now complete. Analysis & Conclusions: An analysis of the televising and inspection work performed in Zone 5 by City crews on the lateral lines and by Infi.atech on thc trunk lines is provided separately. LateralLines: The 8" lateral lines in Zone 5 are Vitrified Clay Pipe (VCP) and were found to be in generally fair to good shape, with a few exceptions: 2. 3. 4. Two segments of pipe (between manholes) were found to be sagged with multiple cracked sections on 6~ Street fi.om 46~ to 47~ Avenues. There was varied (light to heavy) root intrusion in most segments of pipe in Zone 5. Almost all of the manholes had no inverts or benches poured. An outside drop section on 43~a Avenue at Quincy Street was found to have collapsed and approximately 40 feet of pipe up to the drop section was found to have offset joints. Manhole bottom should have poured bottoms, which creates a round shape for the flow to be carried through the manhole and flat areas sloped to the side of the invert as a bench. Without poured inverts, manholes tend to be turbulent which can impede the flow in the line. Trunk Lines: As suspected, the lines were found to be extremely dirty with a build-up of solids on the bottom of the pipe and varying levels of root intrusion in the pipe joints. Three segments of this trunk line had such extensive root intrusion that Infi.atech could not complete their cleaning and televising work until City staff went through with the root cutter so the televising camera could get through the 12-inch lines. Overall, the concrete pipe was found to be in acceptable condition with a couple of major exceptions detailed as follows: Work Session: May 21, 2001 Work Session Item: Televising and Inspection Reports for Sanitary Sewer in Zone 5 Page 2 3. 4. 5. A constriction was found in approximately 180' of pipe east of the manhole at Quincy Street on 43~ Avenue. Infratech attempted to pull an 8" testing device for size (Mandrel) and could not move it through the line. City records indicate this as a 10-inch trunk line. ,Not, Two segments of pipe (between manholes) on 45~ Avenue, east of the University Avenue service mad to 5t~ Street were found to have sagged and have broken pipe. Every trunk manhole had no invert or bench poured. Pipe joints had moderate to heavy root intrusion, and certain segments had exposed aggregate on the top and side walls of the pipe. Certain segments did exhibit grease build-up on the upper portions of the pipes. Note. An interesting incident occurred approximately 6 weeks after the 10" line was cleaned east of the construction on 43~/Quincy, the line had re-established a sediment build-up and had to be re-cleaned by staffbefore the mandrel was pulled. Staff Recommendations: Lateral Lines: 1. Replace the 8-inch line on 6z Street from 46~ to 47~ Avenue with 655 feet of new 8-inch sanitary sewer pipe. 2. Reconstruct the outside drop and 40 feet of pipe south of the manhole on Quincy/43~. Both of these items were included in the Zone 5 feasibility reports and are included in the bidding documents. Trunk Lines: 1. Replace 236' of existing 8" (or smaller) pipe with new 10 inch sanitary sewer pipe east of the manhole on 43~ at Quincy. 2. Replace 648' of sagged/cracked 15" pipe with new 15-inch sanitary sewer pipe on 45~, fi.om University Avenue Service Road to 5~ Street. 3. Pour the bottoms of 20 manholes to provide proper inverts and benches. Certain segments of the trunk line have root penetrations exceeding 50% of the joints. Staff recommends continuing to monitor these pipe segments, annually, and if necessary, add them to a pipe-relining program. Work Session: May 21, 2001 Work Session Item: Televising and inspection reports for sanitary sewer in Zone 5 Page 3 Requested Action: Authorize the addition of the following trtmk sanitary sewer work items to the Zone 5 Project: 1. Replace 236' of existing 8" (or smaller) pipe with 10" east of the manhole on 43~a at Quincy. 2. Replace 648' of sagged/cracked 15" pipe with new 15" pipe on 45% from University Avenue Service Road to 5~ Street. The Sanitary Sewer Construction Fund would fund the proposed work. Attachment: Sanitary Sewer Map for Zone 5 City of Columbia Heights Public Works Department Work Session Discussion Item Work Session Date: May 21, 2001 Prepared by: Kathyjean Young, Assistant City Enginee Item: Change Order #2 for the Zone 4 Street Rehabilitation Projects Background: The Contractor completed the 2000 Street Rehabilitation projects in Zone 4 last fail. The work consisted of full street reconstruction, partial street reconstruction, and mill and overlay with related or special utility construction/replacement. Project closeont and final payment has been delayed by the utility subcontractor's submission of documentation for final quantifies. Analysis/Conclusions: Staff requested the Zone 4 contractor, Hardrives to include additional work for a loop detector, sanitary sewer, water main, storm sewer and system improvements. The work was necessary due to existing conditions found in the field, items not included in the original bid plan or defects found during construction. Staff through negotiation obtained pricing with the contractor. Each work item (1-7) is described in detail on the attached Change Order No. 2.

Background: For Flood Mitigation purposes, the City has acquired one residential property at 1307 42"d Avenue and will be closing on the property at 4542 Washington Street June 1, 2001. Each property is a single-family dwelling unit with a detached garage. The mitigation plan requires removal of all structures from the properties, with site grading to create a small overflow area, and storm sewer extended to the front of each property for drainage. Analysis & Conclusions: A site plan is attached for informational purposes depicting the final site grading and storm sewer extension for each property. This work will be bid with the Zone 5 street work and tracked under separate project numbers for MNDNR reimbursement. The structures are in poor condition and an inspection by a house mover indicates that they would be unlikely candidates to move due to the first floor condition (uneven) and no egress from the lower level. The garage at 1307 42"a Avenue could be moved, but it would require work as the roof is sagged and the masonite siding needs repair. The garage at 4542 Washington is dilapidated and should be demolished. Staff is proposing to publicly advertise for the demolition of structures at both properties rather than attempting to move them. It is estimated that demolition, removal of the foundations, fill, removal of driveways and rough grading would cost $10,000 -$12,000 for each property, This work qualifies for reimbursement (50%) under the existing grant the City has with the DNR. The garage at 1307 42ad Avenue could be advertised to be sold and moved off the site. Requested Action: Authorize staff to seek bids for the demolition of two residential structures at 1307 42"d Avenue and 4542 Washington Street. Requested Action: Authorize staff to seek quotes for the sale and moving of the garage at 1307 42nd Avenue. Attachment: Site grading plan City of Columbia Heights Public Works Department Work Session Discussion Item Work Session date: May 21, 2001 Prepared by: Kevin Hansen, Director of Public Works Lauren McClanahan, Superintendent of Public ITEM: AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FOR UNIT #315: FORD F350 4X2 UTILITY TRUCK Background: Vehicle Unit #315 - Ford F350 4x2 Utility Truck, was purchased in 1986, for $13,000, with an estimated 15year life expectancy. This unit is used primarily in the Traffic Signs & Signals Department. It has 47,000 miles of recorded operation. Hours of operatiun are not available, but this vehicle does idle during the day, during street painting operations. The Shop Foreman, Steve Synowczynski, has evaluated the mechanical and body condition and rated it as fair. The 2001 Traffic Signs & Signals Capital Equipment budget has $45,500 designated for the replacement of Vehicle #315. The 2001 State Aid Maintenance budget has $18,500 designated for the addition of a one-man lift to the new vehicle. Analysis/Conclusions: Many changes have occurred in the areas of safety and liability in the Traffic Signs & Signals Department in the 15 years since Vehicle #315 was purchased. OSHA regulations prohibit standing on side rails of trucks or working fi.om stepladders in truck beds while performing maintenance operations. Sign regulations require that the bottom of regulatory signs be at a minimum 7' height. This has made sign replacement and installation much more difficult as most of the work requires the use of a ladder. The Traffic Signs & Signals Department is responsible for relamping traffic signals and maintaining backlit signs on Central Ave. and University Ave. It is also responsible for tree trimming around signs in addition to sign replacement and installation. The proposed replacement for Vehicle #315 is a Ford F450, equipped with a utility box; hydraulics to operate post pounder and post puller and an aerial device that has a working height of 36'. A 2001 Ford F450 chassis is available for purchase offthe State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract fi.om Airlake Ford-Mercury in the mount of $26,348 plus sales tax. Two quotes for the utility box and aerial lift device have been received as follows: Truck Utilities Mfg. Co. $35,000 plus sales tax Crysteel Truck Equipment $35,300 plus sales tax Work Session Discussion Item Capital Equipment Replacement for Unit #315: Ford F350 4x2 utility truck Page 2 Existing Vehicle #315 is proposed to be transferred to the park department and used as transportation for seasonal employees. Recommended Motion: Authorize the purchase of (1) Ford Model F450 truck chassis from Aiflake Ford-Mercury of Lakeville, MN in the amount of $26,348 plus sales tax, from the Traffic Signs & Signals Capital Equipment Fund: 431-43170-5180. Recommended Motion: Authorize the purchase of (1) utility box and aerial lift device from Track Utilities Mfg., of St. Paul, MN in the amount of $35,000 plus sales tax, with funding appropriated from the Traffic Signs & Signals Capital Equipment Fund: 431-43170-5180 ($16,500) and State Aid Maintenance Fund: 212-43190-5180 ($18,500).
