issues involved. Nawrocki suggested have something in writing explaining this.

Nawrocki stated the grass needs cutting at the house on the intersection of 44th and 5tn Streets. Fehst
stated it has been cut. Nawrocla' felt it needs it again.
Nawrocki again questioned the size of the signage on the Casting Theatre. Fehst stated that the City
Planner indicated the lettering size is within our ordinance. The construction was stopped and they
changed the letter size to meet code. Fehst will have the City Planner put together an explanation of
this. Wyckoff stated that she likes the sign. Fehst felt it is creative and nice looking. Nawrocki did not
agree with using size of the letters.
Nawrocla' indicated items for the upcoming City newsletter should include: City budget information
and the process, information relative to a possible Point of Sale Ordinance, and possible budget
hearing dates.
Nawrocki stated the City Council meetings were not broadcast on Saturday and Sunday.
Nawrocki referred to information received at the League of MN Cities Conference which included
future GASB Y financial reporting, 2001 law summaries, new requirements on fees established and
records kept, and "Power of Giving" which helps communities raise private funds for projects.
Peterson agreed that the Casting Theatre sign was large, but it is rather unique, and he indicated his
hope that they remain in Columbia Heights a long time.
Peterson indicated that at the League of MN Cities Conference he attended a session entitled "Life in
a Fish Bowl", which reflected the saying he uses to close every meeting: Don't take life too seriously,
laugh at ourselves, enjoy life, and do a random act of kindness for someone.

SUBJECT: Temporary On Sale 3.2 Beer License
DATE: June 26, 2001
The Columbia Heights Police Department has completed a background investigation of Mrs. Jerrilyn
Barker, Mr. Ronald Barker, and Mr. James Rummel and Associates, dba Immaculate Conception
Church Fun Fest, 4030 Jackson Street N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota. Mrs. Barker applied for a
temporary on sale 3.2 beer license.
The Department has checked the criminal history of Mrs. Barker, Mr. Barker, and Mr. Rummel. We
have checked our local files and with the law enforcement agencies in the jurisdictions where they
have resided. We find nothing that would preclude them from being issued a temporary on sale 3.2
beer license for the Immaculate Conception Fun Fest August 11-12, 2001.
It is the recommendation of the Police Department that a temporary on sale 3.2 beer license be issued
to Immaculate Conception Fun Fest. The dates for this temporary license would be August 11-12,
2001, and the location would be for Immaculate Conception Church. This approval would be
contingent on all required insurances being current and in place, and all taxes being current.

ITEM: Appointment of Park and BY: Patty Muscovitz B,Y:
NO: Recreation Commissioner DATE: July 5, 2001 D~.~ ~' ~.~-0~
Background:
Councilmembers interviewed Tom Greenhalgh and Bill Peterson on May 23, 2001, and Mark Emme on
June 18, 2001 for a vacancy on the Park and Recreation Commission.
This item went before the City Council on June 25, where a motion failed on a 2 ayes, 2 nays vote to
appoint Mr. Greenhalgh.
A motion was passed to table this item to the July 9, 2001 City Council meeting.
Councilmember Wyckoff suggested that if any current Park and Recreation Commissioners were no
longer interested in serving, this would be an opportune time to step down, as there are several qualified
applicants for the current opening on the commission.
Recommended Motion:
Move to appoint to the current vacancy on the Park and Recreation
Commission with the term to expire on April 1, 2006.

ITEM: Purchase Agreement for 500 Mill BY: Walt Fehst B~.'~[[ (I,
Street DATE: July 2, 2001
NO:
BACKGROUND
At a recent Work Session, City Council members discussed and set the parameters for purchasing the
property at 500 Mill Street.
CONCLUSION
The City Manager met on several occasions with the owners of 500 Mill Street, Andre and Phyllis
Zurbey to discuss the purchase. The City Attorney's office has drawn up a Purchase Agreement given
the original parameters. Attached is a copy of the Purchase Agreement and a cover letter explaining the
substantive issues, for the purchase of the property.
Previously, the City Council had appropriated (see attached) $500,000 for the building of a Commtmity
Center as a possible match for federal or state dollars through a grant. That money had remained
appropriated through the unsuccessful referendum for the community center. The breakdown of the
$500,000 is as follows:
$279,750 - Sullivan Park Land Sale to Medtronic
$140,052 - General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance
$ 80,198 - Capital Improvements - Parks Fund Balance
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending to pay $135,000 for this property from the proceeds of the sale of Sullivan Lake
property to Medtronic, thus reducing the amount that had been pledged to the building of a community
center.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement
for the purchase of the property at 500 Mill Street in the amount of $135,000, with funds to come from
the proceeds resulting from the sale of the Sullivan Lake project to Medtronic.

Purchase Agreement for the City of Columbia Heights
to purchase Property from Andre and Phyllis Zurbey
Our File No. 46000-112
Dear Mr. Fehst:
Enclosed with this letter, please find the Purchase Agreement that has been reviewed and agreed
to by Andre and Phyllis Zurbey through their attorney, Richard S. Eskola. This purchase is on
property known as 500 Mill Street in the City of Columbia Heights. The following are the basic
terms that outline this purchase:
1. Purchase price of $135,000.00.
2. Closing will be held whenever we receive the title work back on this property.
The City agrees to rent back to the sellers' aunt, Gladys Lipa, over a three-year period at
$400.00 per month. Gladys Lipa also could receive an additional one-year option to
continue leasing from the City.
Pursuant to this rentback agreement, the City agrees to perform exterior maintenance
such as lawn mowing and snow shoveling for the premises. The tenant, Gladys Lipa, will
perform the normal interior maintenance on the home.
5. The property is being purchased by the City in an "as is" condition.
An Equal OpportuniW Employer
Mr. Walter Fehst
July 2, 2001
Page 2
The remaining terms for the Purchase Agreement are boiler plate language from the standard
Minnesota Residential Purchase Agreement. As an aside, remember that the purchaser had
requested that the City help Gladys Lipa find a new home when she decided to leave the
premises, however, the City declined this request and the seller accepted the fact that the City
would not help in this situation.
Please contact me or Jim Hoeft with regard to any further questions regarding this matter. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
BARNA, GUZY & STEFFEN, LTD.

BACKGROUND: In 1998, the City of Columbia Heights applied to Anoka County for $70,000 in
HOME Funds to acquire two properties in our Scattered Site Tax Increment Financing District. The
purpose of this district is to remove substandard, dilapidated homes and replace them with newer homes.
At the February 15, 2000 EDA Board meeting, staff brought forward the proposal to acquire 4401
Quincy Street NE. (presently on the TlY scattered site homes to be purchased list). The Sale and
Development Agreement has been reached with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity for the City to receive
$35,650 in exchange for the double lot on 4401 Quincy and the vacant lot at 3913 Polk Street. Habitat
for Humanity would be responsible for the removal of the Quincy home and the construction of three
new single-family structures. The Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority took action at
it's June, 2000 Board meeting to authorize the sale of 3913 Polk Street NE to Twin Cities Habitat for
Humanity, contingent upon City Council action on the Development Agreement. In addition, the City
has obtained an appraisal from Watson Appraisal and Consultant Services Inc., which reflects the market
value in the Sale and Development Agreement. This agreement contains contingencies that require
related Resolutions and Ordinances to be approved by City Council prior to it's execution.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staffis recommending that the City Council approve the Sale and
Development Agreement relating to 3913 Polk Street NE and 4401 Quincy Street NE. by and between
the City of Columbia Heights, the Economic Development Authority of Columbia Heights and Twin
Cities Habitat for Humanity.
MOTION: Move to approve and adopt the Sale and Development Agreement relating to 3913 Polk
Street NE and 4401 Quincy Street NE. by and between the City of Columbia Heights, the Economic
Development Authority of Columbia Heights and Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity contingent upon the

RECOMMENDATIONS
Re: Recommendations for the Issuance of $2,785,000 General Obligation Tax Increment
Refunding Bonds, Series 2001A
We respectfully request your consideration of our recommendations for the above-named issue.
Bond proceeds will be used to refinance the 2006 through 2009 maturities of the City's
outstanding General Obligation Tax Increment Capital Appreciation Bonds, Series 1990A (the
"Series 1990A Bonds") that are subject to optional prepayment on September 1, 2005. The
objective of the refunding is the achievement of interest cost savings. These savings will serve
to reduce the annual tax increment contribution required of the City to retire the Bonds used
originally for the construction of senior housing in the City.
We recommend the following for the Bonds:
1. Action Requested
2. Sale Date and Time
3. Authority and Purpose for the Bond Issue
4. principal Amount of Offering
5. Repayment Term
6. Source of Payment
To establish the date and time of receiving
bids and establish the terms and conditions
of the offering, by approving First Reading of
an ordinance on July 9, 2001, and Second
Reading and adoption on July 23, 2001.
Monday, August 27, 2001 at 11:00 A.M.,
with consideration for award by the City
Council at 7:00 P.M. that same day.
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 475 and 469.
Bond proceeds will be used to refinance the
2006 through 2009 maturities of the City's
outstanding General Obligation Tax
Increment Capital Appreciation Bonds,
Sedes 1990A.
$2,785,000. We have made a provision to
adjust the size of the issue, up or down, in
an amount up to $50,000 at the time of sale.
This will allow for any necessary
adjustments based on final costs.
The Bonds will mature annually
September 1, 2006 through 2009. Interest
will be payable semi-annually each March 1
and September 1, commencing March 1,
2002.
The Bonds will be general obligations of the
City. The Bonds will be repaid from tax
increment revenues from the District, which
are currently being used to repay the Series
1990A Bonds. Tax increment revenues from
the District, following the crossover date of
September 1, 2005, will be pledged to this
issue.

7. Prepayment Provisions
8. Credit Rating Comments
Federal Treasury Regulations Concerning
Tax-Exempt Obligations
(a) Bank Qualification
(b) Rebate Requirements
(c) Bona Fide Debt Service Fund
The Bonds will not be subject to payment in
advance of their respective stated maturity
dates.
Rating applications will be made to Moody's
Investors Service for a rating of the Bonds.
The City's current general obligation bond
rating is "Al ."
Under Federal Tax Law, financial institutions
cannot deduct from income for federal income
tax purposes, income expense that is allocable
to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt bonds.
There is an exemption to this for "bank qualified"
bonds, which can be so designated if the issuer
does not issue more than $10 million of tax
exempt bonds in a calendar year. Issues that
are bank qualified typically receive slightly lower
interest rates than issues that are not bank
qualified. This issue is designated as bank
qualified.
All tax-exempt issues are subject to the federal
arbitrage and rebate requirements, which
require all excess earnings created by the
financing to be rebated to the U.S. Treasury.
The requirements generally cover two
categories: bond proceeds and debt service
funds. There are exemptions from rebate in
both of these categories. Regarding Bond
proceeds, the City will not owe any rebate from
the investment of proceeds since the proceeds
will be invested at a yield equal to or less than
the yield on the Bonds.
The City must maintain a bona fide debt service
fund for the Bonds or be subject to yield
restriction. This requires restricting the
investments held in the debt service fund to the
yield on the Bonds and/or paying back excess
investment earnings in the debt service fund to
the federal government. A bona fide debt
service fund is a fund for which there is an equal
matching of revenue to debt service expense,
with carry over permitted equal to the greater of
the investment earnings in the fund dudng that
year or 1/12 the debt service of that year.

(d) Economic Life
10. Continuing Disclosure
11. Attachments
The average life of the Bonds cannot exceed
120% of the economic life of the project
originally financed. The Bonds are within the
economic life requirements.
The Bonds are subject to continuing disclosure
requirements set forth by the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The SEC rules require
the City to undertake an annual update of
certain Official Statement information and report
any material events to the national repositories.
Springsted currently provides continuing
disclosure services for the City under a separate
contract. An amendment to that contract adding
this issue has been provided to City staff.
· Refunding Schedules
· Terms of Proposal
DISCUSSION
This Issue is being conducted as a crossover refunding to achieve interest cost savings. The
proceeds of the refunding bonds are placed in an escrow account with a major bank and
invested in government securities. These securities and their earnings are structured to pay
interest on the new bonds until the refunded bonds' call date of September 1, 2005, at which
time the escrow account will "cross over" and prepay all of the remaining principal of the
refunded bonds. The City will continue to pay the originally scheduled debt service on the
refunded bonds through the call date. After the call date, the City will cross over and begin
making debt service payments on the refunding bonds, taking advantage of the lower interest
rates.
We have attached a series of schedules concerning the refunding. Page 5 shows the sizing of
the issue and details the sources and uses of funds. Page 6 shows the current debt service
requirements for the Series 1990A Bonds. Page 7 shows the total principal being refunded on
the crossover date of September 1, 2005. Page 8 shows the principal and estimated interest
rates for the new Bonds. The Bonds have been structured to provide for even annual savings
with respect to the refunded debt service, Interest payments due through September 1, 2005
will be made from the escrow account established with the proceeds of the Bonds. Page 9
illustrates the new debt service requirements due each year, and the higher requirements of the
1990A issue, and shows the estimated annual savings to the City after the crossover date,
The Bonds are projected to be sold at a true interest rate of approximately 4.10%. Projected
savings to the City are approximately $147,560 or $113,340 in present-value dollars, or 4.54%
of present-valued refunded debt service. These savings will be available for other tax-
increment uses in the City.

July 3, 2001
Legislative changes to class rates and tax-increment policy, announced during the past week,
may impact the District and the status of revenues during the term of the refunding. As the
legal community develops an interpretation of the changes over the next few months, we will be
prepared to give the City desired advice on issues specific to tax-increment financing.
We will continue to monitor the market up to the date of sale and keep the City apprised of any
adverse interest rate changes.
Springsted is pleased again to be of assistance to the City of Columbia Heights.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Bob Buboltz, seconded byBrad Peterson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of Apri119, 2001. All
ayes.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Channel Check
Channels 31 & 55 had low volume and Channel 58 was slow to sink in. Kathi will check on this.
Correspondence Log and Complaint Follow Up.
#147-Klimek-Complained about poor reception of 4-5-9 & 11. When she called for an appointment, she
was told it would be two weeks before service could be done. She thought that was an excessive delay.
Kathi Donnelly-Cohen said due to the CSG conversion, the service schedule looked full. The Cable Co.
sent a tech out on April 30a to remedy the problem.
#148-Meinhardt-He is being billed for a converter box and doesn't have one. His bill is to be corrected.
#149-Egli-Neighbors temporary cable wire is laying on the ground in her yard. The line was moved out of
her way until it can be installed permanently.
#150-Solem-Complained about new price he is paying for digital package that he changed to after a
telemarketer called him. Kathi sent him a letter explaining the packages and prices for digital service, so
he could decide which one he wants. He disagreed with the letter and left Kathi several messages. She
researched his account and found that he has changed his programming package three times in the last 2
months, and therefore his billing is very difficult to understand. He had an $82 balance on his account,
which she credited in full. She sent him another letter and explained this, and again asked him to decide on
the programming package he really wants. She will report back at the next meeting.
Brad Peterson questioned the procedure when dispatching a service tech to a call and the fact they don't
receive notification of cancellations. He had a call scheduled, called in the morning to cancel, and the
service tech still came out. Kathi explained the procedure followed in routing and scheduling the service
techs. It is hard to cancel calls, once printed, as there are many sub contracted techs doing work in addition
to those on staff.
C

Steve Guzzetta reported the Ramsey-Washington Commission will discuss this issue at their next meeting.
Mr. Seykora from AT & T Broadband attended their June meeting and provided some additional
information to the commission for their consideration. They will review the information and discuss it at
their next meeting.

on the reason for this.
C. Changes to AT & T Roadrunner Service
A letter was received May 24t~ regarding changes that will be made to the cable intemet

REPORTS
Ao
Review of Request from 1SD #13 for Funding of Hardware and Software for Video
Production Class
Jean Kuehn had called Kathy Kelly to request her attendance at our meeting, but was
unable to reach her. Jean was unfamiliar with some of the items requested and would like
more information before bringing this request before the City Manager and the Council.
The commission members discussed the items being requested and thought the items
looked like a package to upgrade their present equipment. They questioned whether these
specific items were needed or if other alternatives would also work, and if price
comparisons were obtained. The commission members concurred they would like to
consider this request, but needed more information. Dennis will try and contact her and
ask her to attend our next meeting.
Other New Business
Reuben Ruen questioned the duties of the Telecommunications Commission and felt the
duties needed to be better defined. He had particular concerns due to the recent purchase
ora wireless data system that is to be used by Parkview Villa and the Liquor Stores to
incorporate them into our network. This item was authorized to be purchased without any
input from the Telecommunications Commission. He thought that was a mistake. He was
not upset that the Council purchased such a package, but that they did so uninformed. He
has concerns regarding the fact this system operates without a license and may be subject
to future interference if someone decides to use the same fi'equency. He also questioned
privacy/security of the data that may be transmitted. A discussion took place on the best
way to ensure that the Administrative Staff and City Council members are better informed
before making these types of decisions. It was decided to have the commission members
review the duties of the commission, make recommended changes, and then to discuss
these changes with the city council and staff at a work session.

Report of AT & T Broadband-
The reports from May were enclosed in the agenda packets. New reports will be drafted
due to the conversion to the new system. AT & T representatives are meeting with Tom
Creighton to establish what information is wanted and useful to the various cities.
Report of the Cable Attorney
*Columbia Heights is in a coalition of cities to review the 1240 and 1205 forms for the rate
increase that will take effect July 1, 2001. All forms and orders issued during the last 4-5
years will be reviewed during this process to ensure that they have been correctly
submitted.

*Steve Guzzetta reported he has not had any further communications with Everest Corp.
regarding their request to postpone their application for a fi'anchise. He has advised all
cities to terminate the application and to refund any remaining funds. Everest can then re-
submit their request when, and if, they decide to proceed.
*Steve Guzzetta updated commission members on a case that was decided in the
Washington DC regarding the construction of a Tower for High Definition TV
Transmission. The District ordered the construction to be stopped due to height and
location issues. The courts ruled in favor of the District as the tower was for TV
transmission, not personal wireless communications. Under federal law, government
jurisdictions cannot prohibit the construction of towers used for personal wireless
communication needs. However, construction of towers/antennas can be restricted by
cities depending on the use of the tower.
*Steve also reported that Section 253 of the Communications Act, which states that no one
can prohibit any entity fi.om providing cable services, was challenged in the state of
Virginia. A private cable company filed the litigation because they felt a city shouldn't
provide cable services in direct competition with a private company. The FCC ruled that
cities are an entity and can provide cable services if they choose.
*The federal law has upheld a City's right to manage the use of their right of ways and to
charge a fair and reasonable fee to do so.
Report of the Assistant to the City Manager

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY
In Anita Kottsick's absence, Shirley Barnes gave the Management Report. There was one correction to
Kottsick's written report. It should state: Unit 710 had a water leak in the bathroom ceiling, which ran
down the wall. After some investigation by maintenance personnel, it was determined that the balcony
had a significant crack where the balcony floor and wall meet. Personnel caulked the cracks and the
leak appeared fixed until it rained again. A contractor was called to determine where the water coming
in. Therefore, the unit will not be rented until the water problem is solved.
Three units in the North building developed severe leaks around and above the window frames.
Maintenance personnel called four different contract°rs f°r an evaluati°n' Two of the contractors stated
that the leaks were coming in from above and working d°wn the walls' They will provide a proposal to
staff

housekeeping safety issues. Kottsick will work with the residents to make corrections. South apartment
inspections will be done in late May. Unit 908 has been rented for occupancy as of June 1, 2001. Also
included in the report was the breakdown of the 912 vacant days requested by the Board at a previous
EDA meeting.
PUBLIC HEARING FOR SALE OF 3913 POLK STREET NE.
Ruettimann opened the Public Hearing at 6:51 p.m. Schumacher indicated that State Statute requires a
Public Hearing prior to the sale of property by an EDA. The Public Hearing for the sale of 3913 Polk
Street NE was published in the Focus Newspaper and broadcast on Cable TV on May 3, 2001. This was
the first step in the process to purchase and sell 4401 Quincy Street NE to Habitat for Humanity along
with 3913 Polk Street NE to build 3 new single-family dwellings. This is contingent upon City Council
approving the purchase and sale of 4401 Quincy. The purchase of 4401 Quincy Street will be financed
by; 1) a $70,000 HOME Program Grant, 2) $35,650from Habitat for Humanity, and 3) a $17,500 cash
match from the EDA for a total of $123,150. If the City choses to not approve the purchase and sale of
4401 Quincy to Habitat for Humanity, the EDA could consider the sale of 3913 Polk Street NE at their
June 17, 2001 meeting, but would have to turn back the $70,000 in HOME Grant Funds. The 3 owner-
occupied, single-family dwellings to be constructed by Habitat for Humanity would help fulfill a
commitment made by the Columbia Heights City Council in 1996 to work in partnership with Habitat for
Humanity to construct 9 homes over the next 3years in the community. The document for the 9 homes is
not a bi~ding legal agreement with Habitat for Humanity. Staff recommended the Board approve the
sale of the properties to Habitat for Humanity subject to the terms of a negotiated development
agreement.
Ruettimann provided a spreadsheet listing the Habitat for Humanity homes in Columbia Heights, which
listed the 2001 estimated market value and limited market value for payable 2002 and 2001 taxes. He
also read a letter from the Nellermoe family expressing their concern that the property wash 't put up for
public sale.
Pat Rosenberg, resident and volunteer for Habitat in Columbia Heights, explained how the Habitat home
program works. In order to qualify for home purchase, the families must put in a total of 350 hours of
labor, attend classes, financially qualify, and must show a real need to own a home.
Nellermoe was present at the meeting and expressed the following c°ncerns: 1) all of the Habitat homes
look alike and he would like to see them look like a Cape Cod or Rambler, and 2) why wasn't the
property put up for sale to the public because a neighbor might be interested in buying the lot to increase
the size of their property.
Wyckoff felt that Habitat for Humanity is a good program, but Columbia Heights has enough Habitat
homes and the EDA should look into putting in some townhomes for higher income families such as
employees of the new Medtronic World Headquarters in Fridley.
Ryan Karis, from Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity was present and provided information about the
program. Habitat maintains an on-going staff at each site, they have a home ownership program,
comprehensive training program for prospective owners which requires attendance at 12 seminars on
home ownership, Habitat is a licensed general contractor; all homes have vinyl siding, Anderson
windows, 90% efficient water heaters, and mechanical heating systems; and the homes are mortgaged on
a 20, 25 or 30 year, zero percent mortgage with Habitat Financial. The home at 3913 Polk Street would
be a single level rambler home with 1,100 square feet of living space.
Nawrocld felt the garage on the property was not up to code and the entrance was too tight. He
suggested the purchase agreement indicate the garage be torn down. Ruettimann stated that the
Planning and Zoning Commission would have to approve that part of the development at the time the
plans are reviewed.

Karis told Mrs. Nellermoe that he is willing to meet with the families on Polk Street to get ideas of what
style home would be appropriate on the block. He also tom Nawrocki that he will inspect the garage and
if it needs to be replaced, Habitat would do so.
Ruettimann stated that of the 14 existing Habitat homes in Columbia Heights, only 5 of these were
purchased through the City or EDA. He asked if Habitat homeowners could buy the mortgage from
Habitat due to an income change. Karis stated that in his experience with approximately 350 Habitat
homes, it has only happened once, but it is possible.
Williams felt that because the EDA had signed the letter of intent in 1996 with Habitat that the Board
should honor it.
Nawrocki was concerned that there wasn't an amount listed for Habitat to purchase the Polk Street
property and what dollar amount the EDA has into the purchase and demolition of the property at this
time. Schumacher stated that Habitat would be purchasing the property for one dollar. Fehst explained
that we have approximately $3 §,O00 from Building lnspection funds into the property.
With all the questions and comments finished, Ruettimann opened discassion for 4401 Quincy Street that
wouM be affected by the sale of the Polk Street property.
John Boreen, 4413 Quincy Street NE addressed the Board with his concerns; 1) the pond behind
Rainbow has deteriorating walls and is full of weeds, 2) there have been several police raids at 4401
Quincy, and 3) the homes on the west side of Quincy have problems with water and sewer back ups.
Ruettimann requested Fehst check into the water and sewer problems. He stated the home is currently
rented and when the Habitat home is put into place it shouM eliminate the police calls. Wyckoff stated
Public Works is scheduled to make repairs to the pond sometime this summer.
Ruettimann closed the Public Hearing at 8:04 a.m.
MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, to approve the sale of the property at 3913 Polk Street
NE, PIN #36-30-24-34-0105, to Habitat for Humanity; and furthermore; to authorize the President and
Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same.
FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, adding the cost
of the sale is to be $1.00, provided it is a complete package as laid out in the motion.
SECOND FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Peterson, that
this sale is contingent upon the acquisition for development of 4401 Quincy, that Habitat for Humanity
to meet the ordinances and regulations with the City of Columbia Heights on all three houses.
Nawrocki expressed his concern that the proposal lacked the necessary detail for consideration and
therefore, the property shouM be put up for public sale.
Upon vote: Peterson- aye, Nawrocki-nay, Szurek-aye, Williams-aye, Wyckoff-nay. 3 ayes, 2 nays.
Motion Carried.
CREST VIEW MANAGEMENT CONTRACT RENEWAL
Schumacher stated that on or about June of 1997 the EDA entered into a Management and Maintenance
Agreement with Crest View Corporation that was approved by the U.S. Department of Hoasing and
Urban Development. This agreement was amended in May of1998 allowing for the extensi°n °f the
term of the agreement to include the initial timeframe of two years, with three, one-year options that
would extend the agreement to a total offive years. The agreement before the Board is for a one-year
(third) extension effective June 1, 2001 though June 1, 2002 in the total amount of $140,802, plus

overtime. Salary and mileage fees are the only increases. He also passed out a spreadsheet, prepared
by the Finance Department, showing fees disbursed over the last four years.
Nawrocki asked for a breakdown of overtime hours in the last year and why there was a check issued for
$19,487. 77 this month to Crest View when past months checks were around $12,000. Schumacher stated
he had the information on the overtime in his office and he would check with the Finance Department
regarding check issued.
MOTION by Wyckoff, second by Williams, to approve the one year extension of the Management and
Maintenance Services Agreement to June of 2002 with Crest View Corporation, based on their proposal
dated May 7, 2001 with the addition of providing a breakdown of the in-house caretakers hours on the
monthly statements; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an
agreement for the same. All ayes. Motion Carried.
PRESIDENTS REPORT
Ruettimann recommended the Board take action to move all of the EDA owned properties to the HRA,
therefore, giving the EDA an opportunity to go forth with redevelopment projects for the City.
The Commissioners had some concerns regarding legal issues and suggested legal counsel look at the
documents first.
MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Szurek, to direct staff to have the City Attorney looking into
moving all EDA owned properties to the HRA to handle, thereby, giving the EDA the opportunity to go
forward with redevelopment in the City.
Nawrocki stated there wasn't a need to separate the two commissions (HRA/EDA). There would be
problems with staffing, overtime, and the availability of commissioners to attend another meeting during
the month.
Upon Vote: Peterson-aye, Nawrocki-nay, Williams-aye, Szurek-aye, Wyckoff-aye. 4 ayes, 1 nay.
Motion Carried.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFFING UPDATE
$chumacher reported the following changes in staffing; 1) Kathy Pepin has taken a position with the City
of Coon Rapids. Her last day will be Thursday, May 17n. We have borrowed temporary staffing from
the Assessing Department until the position is filled, and 2) Mel Collova has been on a 4 hour a day
medical leave the past month due to a car accident.
Fehst introduced Mark Nagel to the Board. Nagel will be working in the Community Development
Department on apart time basis. He has previous experience as the City Manager in Anoka, and the
Housing & Redevelopment Authority Director for Scott County.
PARKVIEW VII,LA PA SYSTEM REWIRING STATUS
Schumacher stated he contacted Fire Chief, Charlie Thompson, in regards to the potential use of the
Parkview Villa Fire Alarm for paging purposes. Thompson recommended that the fire alarm system at
Parkview Villa not be used for general-purpose paging for the following reasons; 1) The MUFC Code
says "Afire alarm system shall not be used for any purposes other than fire warning unless approved; 2)
Parkview Villa staf~felt that the building would become more of an institution and that this matter
should be discussed at a resident council meeting, 3) people making the page must have access to a key
for the fire alarm panel because the microphone is in a locked compartment, 4) some residents placed
cardboard in front of the speaker system in their apartment in past years because the volume on the fire
alarm was too loud, and 5) using the fire alarm system for general paging would expose several people
to potential legal liability if the alarm system failed to operate properly after a paging announcement

was made.
EDA LOAN PORTFOLIO
Nagel reviewed the outstanding loans that the Community Development Department processes on a
monthly basis and recommended the following:
· Section 8 Repayment Agreement was made back in April of 1999 with Section 8 recipient,
Duane Hagen with monthly payments of $55.51for 2years. Hagen hasn't made a payment in 5
months and is currently without a forwarding address. Nagel recommended that the EDA
declare the loan uncollectable and that no more loans of this type be accepted.
· Home Improvement Promissar~ Note (Sheffield) was made with the l, Varricks on June 15, 1995
for $5,000 at 2%for lO years. The monthly payments are $46.01 with a balance of $2,120.36
and payoff.scheduled for June of 2005. Nagel recommended that the EDA complete the loan and
establish a policy of off.ering residents the Home Improvement Loans and Grants through CEE.
· Mortea~e Loan Payments were made by the EDA for two residents. The Chartraw loan was
made on June 1, 1979 with a 30-year mortgage at 5% interest with payments of $381.34 and a
balance of $20,243.70with payoff.on May 1, 2009. The Nielsen was made on July 1, 1979 with a
30-year mortgage at 5% interest with payments of $318.60 and a balance of $18,699.35 with
payoff.on June 1, 2009. Nagel recommended the EDA continue to process these loans but
redirect the loan repayments into the BRLF account or sell the two mortgages and put the
proceeds in the BRLF or housing program funds.
· Business Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF)- the EDA has three outstanding loans; 1) Metro
Assemblies (Robert & Priscilla Barnick) with payments of $265.99 and a balance of $13,646.31;
2) F.C. Celtic (Kenneth Hertz,) with payments of $472.53 and a balance of $10,339.58; and 3)
Industrial Steel (Steven & Katherine Jonak) with payments of $266 O0 and a balance of
$5,24669. All loans were for $25,000 at a 5% interest rate.
In February of 1999, it was noted that all BRLF monies were currently out on loan. As of the
2001 Management Report, there is over $25,000 available. Nagel recommended the EDA
continue to administer the contracts, but negotiate a contract with CEE to administer this
program and update the loan terms. By adding funds from the home mortgage loans and BRLF
repayments, the BRLF can be self-sustaining and no longer in need of EDA monies.
Nagel will put together consent letters with motions for Board approval at the June meeting.
HOUSING UPDATE
Nagel reported on the current Housing Programs.
· Elevator Modernization project at Parkview Villa is complete and the City has been reimbursed
all of the $271, 488 in CIAP funds. There is one outstanding issue regarding the Davis-Bacon
documents for the project that will be reviewed with HUD. This was detected in the Auditors
findings stating that on the $ 75,128 in wages paid for the project, the prevailing wage forms
need to be reconstructed.
· On Monday, April 30~h staff.from the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) met with City
staff.and provided an update on the Home Improvement Programs. CEE has administered a
total of 62 loans totaling $727,826
· MHFA Rental Rehabilitation and Energy Loan Programs are moving slowly. Therefore, plans
are being made to develop an information packet to be sent to owners of rental units.
· CEE's contract expires on December 31, 2001. Nagel requested copies of their insurance
certificates and an updated Exhibit B reflecting the new, lower interest rates under the MHFA
programs.
· CEE has closed on a total of 9 Home Improvement Grants using $117, 723 of the 1997 CDBG
Funds and another $27,398 of the 1998funds for 3 more loans. In addition, another $133, 725 in
1998 CDBG funds are being processed at this time. Their goal is to close on these loans and
expend the remaining $90,000 by September of this year or it will have to be returned to Anoka

MHFA First Time Homebuyers Program has $30 million to loan statewide at 6.25°/3o, at one and
a halfpoints. A total of $6.87 million is allocated to Anoka County residents. Thisprogram
requires no EDA or City funds.
Transition Block Redevelopment Project has begun the 22 affordable townhomes. We will be
processing the necessary paperwork for the first draw of $235,35O for property acquisition
reimbursement under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act Grant. The remaining
$309,650 grant funds will be used for the development of the senior assisted living facility.
CITY/EDA/HRA OWNED PROPERTY UPDATE
Schumacher stated an updated list of EDA, City, and HRA owned properties was included in the packet
for review per the Board's request. The list does not include any City owned parks, corner lots, or the
two Parkview Villa properties owned by the HRA, and 4607 Tyler Street NE owned by the EDA.
Peterson questioned the status of 828 4(~h Avenue NE, the old Heights TV building. Schumacher
reported that a week ago the Columbia Heights Fire Explorers cleaned out all of the electronic
equipment from the building which filled a 40yard dumpster. The next step will be to contact the Fire
Chief to use the building for fire training.
EDA OWNED PARKING RAMP UPDATE
Schumacher met with Mr. Vedi last Friday, in regards to a quote for performing a physical audit on both
of the City owned parking ramps. After reviewing the contract for the City owned bank building parking
ramp, it was determined by our attorney that the EDA does have the right to request an inspection of the
ramp. Vedi reduced the inspection proposal cost from $6, 710 to $6,310 each. Schumacher suggested
that we sit down with the two individuals responsible and get written commitments for them to pay for
this process, and then enter into an agreement for the audits. Staff will make these arrangements.
LEASE FOR PARKVIEW VILLA
Nawrocki questioned why we use a month-to-month versus a six or twelve month lease and felt that if the
lease was changed to a longer term it would help reduce the amount of moves in the building. Barnes
stated that Crest View has always used a month-to-month lease for all facilities they own and manage.
Barnes stated she could change the lease term upon Board approval.
Nawrocki asked if Crest View does a credit check/background check for renter and employees, and if
they charge late fees. Barnes stated there is a credit check required and late fees are not required in the
lease. Barnes also recommended, that City legal counsel and stafflook at the lease and up date it.
Amendment to Minutes:
NawrocM requested staff provide the answers to the following questions on the current lease agreement
for Parlcview Villa
1) Why do we use a month-to-month lease instead ora 6-month or 12-month?
2) Do we run Credit Checks on prospective tenants?
3) Do we run Background Checks on prospective tenants?
4) Do we charge any late fees to residents?

Background:
Councilmembers interviewed Tom Greenhalgh and Bill Peterson on May 23, 2001, and Mark Emme on
June 18, 2001, for a vacancy on the Park and Recreation Commission.
This item went before the City Council on June 25, where a motion failed on a 2 ayes, 2 nays
vote to appoint Mr. Greenhalgh.
A motion was passed to table this item to the July 9, 2001, City Council meeting.
Councilmember Wyckoff suggested that if any current Park and Recreation Commissioners were no
longer interested in serving, this would be an opportune time to step down, as there are
several qualified applicants for the current opening on the commission.
It has been learned that Bruce Magnuson, whose term expires in April of 2005, is resigning
from the Park and Recreation Comx~ission. Thus, the City Council needs to appoint another
resident to this commission.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appoint to the current vacancy on the Park
and Recreation Commission with the term to expire April, 2005.

BACKGROUND
At a recent Work Session, City Council members discussed and set the parameters for purchasing the
property at 500 Mill Street.
CONCLUSION
The City Manager met on several occasions with the owners of 500 Mill Street, Andre and Phyllis
Zurbey, to discuss the purchase. The City Attorney's office has drawn up a Purchase Agreement given
the original parameters. Attached is a copy of the Purchase Agreement and a cover letter explaining the
substantive issues, for the purchase of the property.
Previously, the City Council had appropriated (see attached) $500,000 for the building of a Community
Center as a possible match for federal or state dollars through a grant. That money had remained
appropriated through the unsuccessful referendum for the community center. The breakdown of the
$500,000 is as follows:
$279,750 - Sullivan Park Land Sale to Medtronic
$140,052 - General Fund Undesignated Fund Balance
$ 80,198 - Capital Improvements - Parks Fund Balance
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending to pay $135,000 for this property from the proceeds of the sale of Sullivan Lake
property to Medtronic, thus reducing the amount that had been pledged to the building of a community
center.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2001-44, there being ample copies available to
the public.
MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2001-44, being a Resolution to authorize the purchase of 500
Mill Street and furthermore, for the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of the
property at 500 Mill Street in the amount of $135,000, with funds to come from the proceeds resulting
from the sale of the Sullivan Lake property to Medtronic.

Purchase Agreement for the City of Columbia Heights
to purchase Property from Andre and Phyllis Zurbey
Our File No. 46000-112
Dear Mr. Fehst:
Enclosed with this letter, please find the Purchase Agreement that has been reviewed and agreed
to by Andre and Phyllis Zurbey through their attorney, Richard S. Eskola. This purchase is on
property known as 500 Mill Street in the City of Columbia Heights. The following are the basic
terms that outline this purchase:
1. Purchase price of $135,000.00.
2. Closing will be held whenever we receive the title work back on this property.
The City agrees to rent back to the sellers' aunt, Gladys Lipa, over a three-year period at
$400.00 per month. Gladys Lipa also could receive an additional one-year option to
continue leasing from the City.
Pursuant to this rentback agreement, the City agrees to perform exterior maintenance
such as lawn mowing and snow shoveling for the premises. The tenant, Gladys Lipa, will
perform the normal interior maintenance on the home.
5. The property is being purchased by the City in an "as is" condition.
Mr. Walter Fehst
July 2, 2001
Page 2
The remaining terms for the Purchase Agreement are boiler plate language from the standard
Minnesota Residential Purchase Agreement. As an aside, remember that the purchaser had
requested that the City help Gladys Lipa find a new home when she decided to leave the
premises, however, the City declined this request and the seller accepted the fact that the City
would not help in this situation.
Please contact me or Jim Hoeft with regard to any further questions regarding this matter. Thank
you.
Sincerely,
BARNA, GUZY & STEFFEN, LTD.
