Move to adopt the minutes of the September, 2001 regular meeting as presented in writing.
Nawrocki asked for an amendment to the minutes on page 3, Other Business, Acquisition of 3718
Central Avenue NE, as the last sentence shouM read as follows:
dindra stated this was similar to the Logacz property on Van Buren Street. Nawrocki indicated
that it wasn't the same because with the Logacz property was a residential rezoning with another
house to be built on it. The concern then was about the possibility of combining the Logacz lot
with the one next to it on the southwest corner, which was to be torn down due to deterioration
and used for some kind of development project.

50058form transmittals. After she transmitted a partial, HUD called to inform her that they
were experiencing some trouble with the new system and suggested the forms be sent in small
batches. A survey was sent to residents checking for interest in starting a floor monitoring
system, which received a good response. Kottsick will work with three (3) resident volunteers to
develop the procedure and provide it to the Resident Council next month for discussion.
Kottsick indicated she 7l be on vacation, October 22~, 26th and November 5 thru the 9~.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
OTHER RESOLUTIONS
Resolution 2001-16, a Resolution Rescinding. the Redevelopment Project Housing TIF District No.
2 and it's Related Tax Increment Financin~ Plan.
Nagel indicated staff met with Shelly Eldridge, Ehler and Associates to discuss the progress of
Housing Redevelopment TIF District #2, involving the construction ora 70 unit, affordable
senior housing project located at the intersection of 51~t Avenue and Jackson Street near St.
Timothy's Lutheran Church. Staff learned that even though all approvals for setting up the
District were obtained in October of 1997, the District was never certified with Anoka County as
the project was put on hold. Staff has worked with Ms. Eldridge and Dan Greensweig, Kennedy
and Graven to decerti, fy the District as there was no activity in the district prior to the October,
2001 deadline. Resolution 2001-16 rescinds the TIF district and the plan, which will be
sufficient to clarify the EDA and City's internal records and enable authorizing another district.
After EDA Board approval, a resolution will go before the City Council for approval.
Nawrocki asked who initiated the development of the District. Fehst stated it was the EDA and
Mary Tjosvold. Mary T. owns various senior and handicap buildings.
MOTION by Peterson, Second by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2001-16, there
being an ample amount of copies available to the public. All Ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
MOTION by Peterson, second by Williams, to approve Resolution 2001-16, a Resolution
Rescinding the Redevelopment Project Housing TIF District No. 2 and it's Related Tax
Increment Financing Plan; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to
enter into an agreement for the same. All Ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
Other Business.
Millar Elevator, Davis-Bacon Issue
The City's 2000 audit report completed by HLB Tautges Redpath, indicated the EDA failed to
comply with the Davis-Bacon Act on the elevator modernization, which requires all laborers who
work on a project with the contracted total in excess of $2, 000 to be paid the prevailing wage
rate. The EDA has been reimbursed all of its $271,488 in CIAP funds for the project. The
agreement with the Elevator Advisory Group did not include monitoring for Davis-Bacon
compliance, nor did the contract with Miilar Elevator Service. In a letter received from Don
Armborst, Millar Elevator, and confirmed by other bidders at the Pre-Bid Conference, City staff
said that Davis-Bacon requirements were not in effect for this project. Five different Millar
employees were underpaid a total of $6, 709.90 and must be paid back wages with funds going
directly to the employees, less the normal deductions, and both the employee and company must
sign off as having received these payments. Since the EDA discovered the problem and notified
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 16, 2001
Page 3 of 6
HUD in a timely fashion of the violation, there will be no penalties. The EDA is responsible to
pay the $6,709.90 to meet all Federal laws, including Davis-Bacon, according to the CIAP
Agreement filed with HUD. Nagel then, presented two options; 1) go to arbitration; or 2) use
CIAP funds.
MOTION by Peterson, second by Williams, to authorize the payment of $6,709.90 to eligible
employees of Millar Elevator Service Company to comply with Davis-Bacon requirements for
the Parkview Villa Elevator Modernization Project to be paid with CIAP Funds.
Upon Vote: Peterson- Aye, Nawrocki- Nay, Szurek-Aye, Williams-Aye, Wyckoff- Aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
NawrocM felt this wouM be an improper expenditure of the CIAP funds. Fehst stated that if that
was true, the auditor's report would be in violation. Nawrocki requested a copy of the auditors
report stating the findings on the elevator modernization.
Recommendation to City_ Council forApproval of the Modification of TIF District No. 1
Nagel reported that on May 27, 1997, City Council approved a scattered site TIF District to
facilitate redevelopment of substandard single-family homes to improve the City's housing stock,
increase property values, and prevent the spread of blight. Tax increments from the properties
in the district were to be used to finance land acquisition, demolition, relocation, and related
development costs. Shelly Eldridge, Ehlers and Associates, determined that the City needs to
show activity and any modifications need to be completed on each of the 56parcels in the
District by September 8, 2002, or they will be dropped and wouM reduce the potential TIF
revenue generated. Based on discussions with the consultant the following steps can be taken: 1)
add 15parcels to the District with work expected to begin prior to September 8, 2002 to increase
the revenue stream; 2) Ehlers will complete a projection of funds that couM be expended, then
recovered over the remaining 21 years of the district based on the new TIF laws; 3) expend the
projected funds within the district prior to the September 8, 2002 deadline; and 4) any City funds
that have been spent in the past 4years on the 56parcels such as 4401 Quincy Street NE can be
reimbursed by the district and spent on other housing activities within the district. Staff
recommended the Board make a motion to recommend City Council authorize the Modification
of TIF District No. ].
MOTION by Wyckoff, second by Williams, to recommend City Council adopt the Modification
to the Downtown Central Business District (CBD) Revitalization Plan for the CBD
Redevelopment Project and the Proposed Modification of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1 and the Modified Plans. All Ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
4607 Tyler Street
Nagel indicated the four plex at 4607 Tyler Street NE was purchased by the HRA/City on
February 24, 1995for $79,000. The building was rehabbed for $86,395, using $40, O00 from
HOME funds, $36,395 of CDBG funds, and $10,000 of HRA Reserve Funds. The HRA has rented
the units to persons 55 or over. The financial proforma has not been reviewed since 1995. It
shows an annual rent increase of 3% to cover rising expenses, but the rent has never been
increased. The main concern with the proforma is that the Total Development Cost (TDC) is
$165,395, instead of $124, 000. Staff requested the Board authorize an update of the proforma
and research whether continued ownership of the four plex is feasible.
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 16, 2001
Page 4 of 6
Fehst indicated this would be money the Board could use somewhere else. Peterson stated he
would like to see staff update the proforma, check into the possibility of selling the unit, and look
for a good landlord. He also felt that the EDA should not become long-term landlords.
Wyckoff asked if we could sell the unit on the open market. Nagel indicated he would have to
check that out as HIM, HOME, TIF, and CDBG funds were used for the acquisition and rehab of
the property.
Nawrocki asked staff to provide meeting minutes and any other documents pertaining to the
purchase and rehabilitation of the unit.
MOTION by Szurek, second by Williams, to authorize an update of the financial proforma,
review options based on the analysis of the financial proforma for 4607 Tyler Street NE, and
report to the Board at a future meeting. All Ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
BeauW Salon Charges for Services to Residents
Nawrocki indicated that at the September EDA meeting he requested copies of other salons
charges in the area from staff and he would compare them with what residents are paying at
Parkview Villa to see if they are being charged reasonable rates. He then gave the example of a
shampoo/set being $7 at the Boulevard and $10 at Parkview. Therefore, the Parkview Villa
Salon charges are higher. Nawrocki asked Kottsick to talk to Thesbo Hams about lowering her
prices to match those in the area. Kottsick agreed to talk to Hams about her prices, but felt that
this issue should be taken to the Resident Council for all residents of Parkview Villa's input on
the matter.
Pat Baker, Unit 206, indicated that Hams many times provides coffee and cookies or comes in to
provide her services for funerals or other special occasions as a courtesy to her customers and
that should be taken into account for the fees she charges.
Renie SuJka, Unit 104, indicated that the residents of Parkview Villa are low income and Hams
makes a clear profit from providing services at Parkview, as she has no overhead costs other
than her general supplies.
Peterson asked for clarification of what the Board approved last month for the salon. Bakken
stated that the Board approved the Beauticians Agreement between the EDA and Thesbo Hams,
and the three (3) year Salon Licensing application required by the Department of Commerce to
satisfy the auditor report requirements.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS.
EDA Holiday Gathering/Dinner
Fehst indicated that Tuesday, December 18, 2001 is a tentative date to hold the Holiday Dinner
for EDA members and spouses. Staff is asking for clarification if this date will work for ali
Board members and do they want to go back to Jax Restaurant. Bakken indicated that December
10a has been set aside as a possible date for a short meeting to be held at 5:30p. m., before the
City Council lVorksession. Box lunches could be provided to accommodate the Board members
for the earlier time schedule.
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 16, 2001
Page 5 of 6
Nawrocki indicated that the holiday dinner in years past, was set up to show appreciation for
volunteers and suggested the Board have a dinner at Parkview Villa for the volunteers and invite
the EDA Board members instead of going to Jax. Kottsick stated that the Resident Council holds
a Holiday Dinner for resident volunteers each year, which helps expend their funds to meet HUD
requirements for the year.
Peterson stated the dinner was more of a year end social event for Boardmembers and their
spouses, and if there is a budget concern, he would be willing to pay for his two dinners. Board
members Williams, Jindra, and Szurek also agreed to this. Fehst stated that in the past we have
conducted a short meeting before the dinner.
It was determined to go back to Jax Restaurant on December 18, 2001 at 5:30p. m. for the
Holiday Dinner and meeting using the funds that have been built into the 2001 budget for the
dinner.
Report of the Executive Director
Fehst indicated that the bids for 4656 Monroe Street NE will be opened on Monday, October 22,
2001 and asked Councilmembers if they could meet a half hour ahead of the City Council
meeting to review the bids. Then at the City Council meeting they could possibly award the sale,
to insure the construction starting this year. It was decided to hold the meeting on Monday night
at 6:30p. m.
Committee/Other Reports.
Resident Council Meeting Minutes
Jindra asked staff to amend the minutes to read as follows:
Under the entertainment committee- This Halloween there will be cider and cookies downstairs
in the party room. Residents that wish to, can bring donations of school supplies to the party
room for the Putnam and North Star Schools.
Housing Update
Nagel stated that the closings were held for both 3913 Polk Street and 4401 Quincy Street in the
last month. Habitat has some asbestos testing to do before they start, but that should be done in
the next week.
The First Time Homebuyer program will end on October 22nd. To date, the City has done almost
three quarters ora million dollars and asked for approval to request the City get their own
allocation next year. Wyckoff asked what the interest rate is this year. Nawrocki asked what the
applicants closing fees and points are. Nagel will provide this information to the Board before
the next meeting.
The Housing Performance Score rating was revised from 60 to 81 points. This allows the Board
to use the many Metropolitan Council programs available, such as the Liveable Communities
Program where funds are used for the Transition Block Redevelopment project.
Nagel indicated the breakdown of grants from CEE, were provided as requested. The report
lists the grants that are being processed, the amount of the loan, and why they have not
completed.

An inspector from the insurance c(~mpany was out to inspect the new boilers and they did
not meet code so they are shut down at this time until the contractor adds individual relief
valves and shut off valves to each new boiler. We are working with the contractor to
complete these items.
The hot water was out of service on November 8 back on line November 9 a.m. It was
found to be clogged and had over heated. All repairs were completed.
The gate and fence at 4607 was damaged the week of November 5 and has been
repaired.
ADMINISTRATIVE:
It seems HUD's new system for submitting 50058 has some problems. I have not
submitted any more 50058 on the recommendation of out software vendor. Our vendor is
working with HUD representatives to resolve these problems. Once I am advised to resume
submissions I will.
A voluntary floor checking program will begin the 1st of next year. All guidelines and
procedures are being discussed at resident council meetings.
At the November resident council meeting residents attending were asked how many
currently use the beauty shop and how many were satisfied with the prices and quality:
28 currently use PVV beauty shop. When the question was asked it was very clear that the
majority of residents were satisfied with the current service they were receiving.

APPROVAL
ITEM: Contract for Snow Removal BY: Anita Kottsick BY:
DATE: November 14, 2001
BACKGROUND: The snow plowing for Parkview Villa and 4607 Tyler has been done by two
different contractors in the last two years. Once again this year staff requested bids via telephone to
several outside contractors and three separate contractors responded. Parkview Villa staff maintains
sidewalks at both projects and does a fair mount of cleating of snow around parked vehicles. The
contract would be for removal of snow fi.om the main thoroughfare, empty parking areas, and emergency
parking stall.
ANALYSIS: Clean Sweep, Inc. bid $84.70 per hour with plowing beginning at 1.5 to 3 inches. Fridley
Snow Plowing and Removal was unable to determine how long it would take to plow the lots so they
included a letter stating this and the hourly rates which would be $58.00 an hour. Professional Building
Maintenance Services, Inc. bid $50.00 per occurrence, not per hour for 1 to 4 inches and $60 per
occurrence for 4-8 inches.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a contract for snow removal from Professional
Building Maintenance Services, Inc. based on their qualified low bid.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve contract for snow removal services to cover year
2001-2002, to Professional Building Maintenance Services; and furthermore, to authorize the President
and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same.

Dear Bill,
While looking over your parking lot to give you a per time bid, we have
determined that it is impossible to give you a fair bid on a per time basis. No
matter what price we determine, one of us is either going to be over charged
or underpaid. We would much rather plow your lot for one year at our
hourly rates, and after which we could more accurately determine a per time
price. We have done this with a few of our other lots, with about half
electing to stay with the hourly rates after one year, and the other half going
to a per time bid. I have enclosed a list of references that you could check
with. I'm sure you will fred that we always provide accurate and detailed
billings with a break down of each piece of equipment and times spent
plowing. I think you will also find our rates to be very competitive. Our
office is located only blocks away from your lot, so you can expect excellent
availability. For example if you fred something small that you'd like us to
touch up, we can be there within minutes.
We offer plowing, sanding, salting, shoveling, and stacking. Please find our
rates and specifications enclosed. If you have any questions or need a
service not listed, please feel free to give me a call.
Thank You,
Christopher Clos

AGENDA SECTION: Items for Consideration, ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE
Other Resolutions DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR
NO: 9-A-1 APPROVAL
ITEM: Approve Resolution 2001-18, BY: Randy Schumacher BY:
Transferring Authority from EDA to HRA and DATE: November 15, 2001
Modifying the Purchases of Services Agreement
BACKGROUND: At the EDA Board meeting held in February of 2001, the Board discussed specific
direction and priorities of the HRA and the EDA. It was suggested that the Board consider transferring
all City housing responsibilities, ownership, and operations to the Columbia Heights Housing and
Redevelopment Authority thus allowing the EDA to focus on community development and
redevelopment issues. This would allow greater focus to be conducted in each respective area.
On October 22, 2001 the City Council approved the second reading of Ordinance number 1442,
determining that the City's overall housing and redevelopment objectives will be best served if certain
housing powers are allocated to the HRA, and redevelopment and economic development powers are
allocated to the EDA.
Specifically, Resolution 2001-18 transferred the control, authority and operation of all housing
programs and projects from the Columbia Heights EDA to the HRA, as well as all real property and
contracts.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Board approval of Resolution 2001-18 relating to the
transfer of certain projects to the HRA from the Columbia Heights EDA and Modify the Purchases of
Services Agreement.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Approve Resolution 2001-18, a Resolution relating to the
transfer of certain projects to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority from the Columbia Heights
Economic Development Authority; Modifying the Purchases of Services Agreement.

October 22, 2001, the City allocated powers under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047

the Enabling Resolution, the City further adopted Resolution No, 2001-62 on October 22, 2001,
which is an amended and restated Enabling Resolution.
1.07. The board of CHEDA finds that it is in the best interests of the City, CHEDA and
the HRA that appropriate steps be taken to effect the transfer from CHEDA to the HRA of programs
and projects relating to low and moderate income housing over which the HRA has authority under
the Allocation Ordinance.
Section 2. Transfer of Authority

HRA, and which is occupied by HRA Projects or held for future HRA Projects. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Resolution No. 96-02, title to those properties shall remain in the I-IRA.
The President and Executive Director are authorized to execute and deliver any quit claim deeds or
other instruments necessary to effect clear title in such properties in the name of the HRA.

I-IRA Project as defined in this resolution. The Executive Director of the CHEDA is authorized to
retain moneys fi.om such funds to reimburse CHEDA commissioners for necessary expenses

ITEM: Approve Resolution 2001-19, BY: Randy Schumacher BY:
Decertification of Parcels 35-30-24-14-0091 DATE: November 14, 2001
and 35-30-24-24-0092 fi:om the Central
Downtown Business TIF District
BACKGROUND: The Anoka County Auditors Office contacted EDA staff and advised us that when
the Transition Block Redevelopment TIF District No. 9 was certified in 1999, it included two parcels of
land, (the Lockshop and the Professional Bldg) that had previously been included in the Central
Downtown Business TIF District. Including these parcels in Transition Block Redevelopment TIF
District No. 9 was necessary for the purpose of constructing the 50 Unit Senior Assisted Living facility
by Crest View ONDC 1.
Based on a discussion with legal counsel Steve Bubul, a resolution removing these two parcels from
the Central Downtown Business TIF District would be required. The decertification Resolution 2001-
19 authorizes that action. Once action is taken on this Resolution by the EDA, the City Council will be
requested to consider same.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Board approval of Resolution 2001-19, a resolution
Decertifying two parcels fi.om the Central Downtown Business TIF District.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2001-19, a resolution Decertifying
Parcels 35-30-24-14-0091 and 35-30-24-14-0092 fi.om the Central Downtown Business TIF District.

NO: 9-A-3 APPROVAL
ITEM: Approve Resolution 2001-20, BY: Mark Nagel BY:
Modification to the Downtown Central DATE: November 14, 2001
Business District (CBD) Revitalization Plan
for the CBD Redevelopment Project and the
Modification of Housing Redevelopment TIF
District #1 (P3)
BACKGROUND: On May 27, 1997, the Columbia Heights City Council approved a scattered site
redevelopment TIF District to facilitate redevelopment of substandard single-family homes throughout
the City in order to improve the City's housing stock, increase property values, and prevent the spread of
blight. Tax increments from the 56 properties listed in the District were to be used to finance land
acquisition, demolition, relocation, and related development costs.
During a meeting August 7t~ with Shelly Eldridge, Ehlers and Associates, reviewing progress in TIF
District 1 and 2, it was determined that the City needs to show activity and any modifications need to
be completed on each of the 56 parcels in the District by September 8, 2002, or they will be dropped
from the District. This would reduce the potential TIF revenue generated for the above purposes. All
projected fimds generated-by the District need to be obligated by that date.
At the EDA meeting of October 16t~, Commissioners approved making modifications to TIF District
#1 that would add 12 parcels to the District, which City Council also subsequently approved. The
modified plans are now complete and along with an updated schedule and a copy of the letter to Anoka
County Commissioner Jim Kordiak on the proposed modification, is attached. Fiscal Consultant,
Shelly Eldridge will be at the meeting to review the plan and answer questions.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the EDA approve Resolution 2001-20, Modification of
TIF District Number 1.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2001-20, a Resolution Modifying the
Downtown Central Business District (CBD) Revitalization Plan for the CBD Redevelopment Project
and the Modification of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 (P3).

Re:
City of Columbia Heights/Columbia Heights EDA and the Proposed Modification of
Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1
Dear Commissioner Kordiak:
The City of Columbia Heights and the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority
("EDA") are considering a proposal to modify Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1 (the "District")· The District is a scattered-site redevelopment tax increment financing
district. Tax increments collected from the District are proposed to be used to facilitate demolition
of blighted property and the construction of single family homes. The location of the District is
within the Downtown Central Business District and is indicated on the attached maps.
The City Council has scheduled a public heating on this matter, pursuant to the Minnesota Tax
Increment Financing Act, on December 17, 2001, at approximately 7:00 ?.M. The Act requires the
City notify the County Board member representing the affected area at least 30 days prior to
publishing the notice of public hearing on the establishment or modification of a housing or a
redevelopment tax increment district. To meet this requirement, the notice was due in your office
on November 6, 2001. The notification was inadvertently not transmitted to your office.
Subsequently, we are transmitting the notice to your office today, which is 29 days prior to the
publication date of public hearing notice. MS. 469.175, Subdivision 2a, provides for the waiving
of the 30-day requirement if the county commissioner of the affected district submits written
comments on the proposal and any modification of the proposal to the authority after receipt of the
information. The City of Columbia Heights is requesting that Anoka County Commissioner
Kordiak waive the 30-day notification requirement for holding a public hearing on the
modification of the tax increment financing district.

REVITALIZATION PLAN FOR THE CBD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Introduction
The Central Business District ("CDB") Redevelopment Project is administered by the Columbia HeiSts
Economic Development Authority (the "EDA"). Previously, the CBD Redevelopment Project ~vas
established and administered by the City of Columbia Heights (the "City") and the Columbia Heights
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (the "HRA").
The CBD Redevelopment Project previously included property in the downtown area. On July 18, 1994, the
Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment and Housing Development Project was consolidated with the CBD
Redevelopment Project by the HRA. On January 8, 1996, the HRA transferred its authority to the EDA,
which currently administers the CDB Redevelopment Project.
The CBD Redevelopment Project is being modified to expand the project area to include the entire City.
Concurrently, there is a proposal to establish Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No.
1 ("District No. 1") within the CBD Redevelopment Project. As District No. 1 is a scattered site
redevelopment tax increment financing district, the property to be included in District No. I is found
throughout the City, thus necessitating the expansion of the boundaries of the CBD Redevelopment P'roject.
(As Modified May 27, 1997)
Subsection C Description of the Project
The City of Columbia Heights and the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority are hereby
modifying the boundaries of the Central Business District Redevelopment Project to be coterminous with
the corporate limits of the City. A map of the new boundaries of the Central Business District
Redevelopment Project can be found in Appendix A.

MODIFICATION TO THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR
HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1
Subsection 2-1. Forward
The City of Columbia Heights ("City"), the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the
"EDA"), staff and consultants have prepared the following information for the expedition and establishment
of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 ("District No. 1 "), a redevelopment tax
increment financing district, located in Central Business District Redevelopment Project.
Subsection 2-2. Statutory Authority
Within the City, there exist areas where public involvement is necessary to cause development or
redevelopment to occur. To this end, the City and EDA have certain statutory powers pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes ("MS. "), Sections 469. 001 through 469. 047and469. 090 through 469.1081, inclusive, as amended,
and M.S., Sections 469.174 through 469.179, inclusive, as amended (the "Tax Increment Financing Act" or
"TIF Act"), to assist in financing public costs related to this project.
This Section contains the Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "Plan") for District No. 1. Other relevant
information is contained in the Modified Revitalization Plan for Central Business District Redevelopment
Project.
Subsection 2-3. Statement of Objectives
District No. 1 currently consists of 55 parcels of land and adjacent and internal rights-of-way. District No.
1 is created to facilitate construction of a scattered site housing project in the City of Columbia Heights. For
plan purposes, the values of new homes are assumed to be $147,000. It is expected that the value &many
homes will be less. This plan is expected to achieve many of the objectives outlined in the Modified
Revitalization Plan for Central Business District Redevelopment Project.
The activities contemplated in the present Modified Revitalization Plan and the Tax Increment Financing
Plan do not preclude the undertaking of other qualified development or redevelopment activities. These
activities are anticipated to occur over the life of District No. 1 and Central Business District Redevelopment
Project.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
The modification to District No. 1 proposes to add 12 parcel to the district. However, a number of the
original parcel will be "knocked down", according to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 6, due to lack of
qualifying activity for taxes payable in 2003. It is proposed that a number of the parcels will be
purchased by the E.D.A. and/or City, the existing structures demolished, the land cleared for resale
and reconstruction of a single family, owner occupied homes. It is anticipated that the new market
value of the newly constructed units will range from $130,000 to $135,00 each. Other renovation and
rehabilitation of some the properties within the district is also anticipated.

Subsection 2-6. Classification of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1
The City and EDA, in determining the need to create a tax increment financing district in accordance with
M.S., Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended, inclusive, find that Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1, to be established, is a redevelopment district pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174,
Subd. lO(a)('l) as defined below:
"Redevelopment district" means a type of tax increment financing district consisting of
aproject, orportions of aproject, within which the authorityfinds by resolution that one
of the following conditions, reasonably distributed throughout the district, exists:
parcels consisting of 70 percent of the area in the district are occupied by
buildings, streets, utilities, or other improvements andmore than 50percent of the
buildings, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree
requiring substantial renovation or clearance; or
The property.consists of vacant, unused, underused, inappropriately used, or
infrequently used railyards, rail storage facilities or excessive or vacatedrailroad
rights-of-way.
For purposes of this subdivision, "structurally substandard" shall mean containing defects in
structural elements or a combination of deficiencies in essential utilities and facilities, light and
ventilation, fire protection including adequate egress, layout and condition of interior
partitions, or similar factors, which defects or deficiencies are of sufficient total significance
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I 2-2
to justify substantial renovation or clearance.
,,1 building is not structurally substandard if it is in compliance with the building code
applicable to new buildings or could be modified to satisfy the building code at a cost of less
than 15percent of the cost of constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type
on the site. The municipality may find that a building is not disqualified as structurally
substandard under the preceding sentence on the basis of reasonably available evidence, such
as the size, type, and age of the building, the average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural
repairs or other similar reliable evidence. If the evidence supports a reasonable conclusion
that the building is not disqualified as structurally substandard, the municipality may make
such a determination without an interior inspection or an independent, expert appraisal of the
cost of repair and rehabilitation of the building...
Forpurposes of this subdivision, aparcel is not occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
improvements until 15 percent of the area of the parcel contains improvements.
In meeting the statutory criteria described above, the City and EDA rely on the following facts and findings:
District No. 1 is a redevelopment district consisting of 55 parcels. The parcels are noncontiguous
scattered sites as shown in Appendix A and listed in Appendix B.
All parcels in District No. 1 are occupied as defined in the TIF Act. An inspection of the buildings
located within District No. 1 finds that each noncontiguous parcel is occupied by a single-family home
or two-family home that is structurally substandard as defined in the TIF Act. (See Appendix D)
Subsection 2-7. Original Tax Capacity and Tax Rate
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M. S., Section 469.177, Subd 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity
(ONTC) as certified for District No. 1 is based on the market values placed on the property by the assessor
in 1998 for taxes payable 1999.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Sub&. 1 and2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginning
in the payment year 1999) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result off

reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;
change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;
change in the use of the property and classification;
change in state law governing class rates; or
change in connection with previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity value of District No. 1 declines below the ONTC, no value
will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the City or EDA.

Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently Under consideration for District No. 1 is a proposal to facilitate construction of a scattered site
housing project. The City and EDA have determined that it will be necessary to provide assistance to the
project for certain costs. The EDA has conducted a feasibility study for the development or redevelopment
of property in and around District No. 1. To facilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment
of District No. 1, this Plan authorizes the use of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible
expenses. The estimate of public costs and uses of funds associated with District No. I is outlined in the
table on the following page. These figures have been prepared based on high estimates, for purposes of this

25 percent of the tax increment paid by property within District No. 1 will be spent on activities related to
development or redevelopment outside of District No. 1 but within the boundaries of Central Business
District Redevelopment Project, (including administrative costs, which are considered to be spent outside
of District No. 1) subject to the limitations as described in this Plan.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
The costs associated with the addition of the proposed expansion parcels does not anticipate an
increase in costs beyond the already authorized budget. Due to the lack of activity in the original
district, the existing budget is substantially higher than the expected costs. The estimated sources of
funds for the District are contained in the table below. The costs have NOT increased but have been
restated according the current reporting requirements of the Office of the State Auditor.

Subsection 2-12. Duration of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration of District No. 1 must
be indicated within the Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1~), the duration of District No. 1
will be 25 years from the date of receipt of the first increment by the City or EDA. The date of receipt by
the City of Columbia Heights of the first tax increment will be approximately 1999. Thus, it is estimated that
District No. 1, including any modifications of the Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would
terminate after 2023, or when the Plan is satisfied. The City or EDA does reserve the right to decertify
District No. 1 prior to the legally required date.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
Pursuant to 3/I.S., Section 469.176, Subd. l(b), the duration of District No. 1 will be 25 years from the
date of receipt of the first increment by the City or E.D.A. The date of receipt by the City of the first
tax increment was 1998. Thus, it is estimated that District No. 1, including any modifications of the
Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after December 31, 2023 or when the
Plan is satisfied. The City or E.D.A. reserves the right to decertify District No. 1 prior to the legal
expiration date.
Subsection 2-13. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction which would have occurred ~vithout
the creation of District No. 1. If the construction is a result of tax increment financing, the impact is $0 to
other entities. Notwithstanding, the fact that the fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to
the fact that the construction would not have occurred without the assistance of the City or EDA, the
following estimated impact of District No. I would be as follows if the "but for" test was not met:

Subsection 2-24. Municipal Approval and Public Purpose
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
District No. I as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd 3 are as follows:
Finding that the District No. 1 is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd.
lO(a)(O.
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 2-15
District No. 1 is a redevelopment district consisting of 55 parcels, and qualifies because each
noncontiguous parcel is occupied by improvements, and contains on substandard single-family or
two-family home. Therefore each separate parcel independently meets all the tests for a
redevelopment district under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10 (a) (1).
Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and
that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the
use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments
for the maximum duration of District No. I permitted by the Plan.
Each parcel is occupied by a single family home in poor condition. Due to the high cost of
renovation or clearance, such housing will continue to deteriorate. Due to the high cost of
development or redevelopment on the parcels and the cost of financing, the redevelopment for new
housing will occur only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. In most cases,
significant other public and private assistance will be required as well.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and ~vithout establishment of Housing
Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 and the use of tax increments has been
performed as described above. If all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax
increment were to occur in District No. 1, the total increased market value would be up to
$6,686,250. It is the Council's finding that no development with a market value of greater than
$5,530,560 would occur without tax increment assistance in this district within 25 years. In fact, the
Council is confident that no development of any kind would occur and market values would likely
deteriorate. This finding is based upon evidence from general past experience with housing in the
City (see Cashflow in Appendix C).
Finding that the Tax Increment FinancbTg Plan for District No. 1 conforms to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Plan ~vas reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 6, 1997. The Planning and
Zoning Commission found that the Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City.
Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District No. 1 will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
Central Business District Redevelopment Project by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 will
result in improved private housing stock in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the
City.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the proposed expansion parcels of the Tax Increment
Financing Plan for District No. I as required pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 3 are as follows:
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I 2-16
Finding that the District No. I is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174,
Subd. ~ O(a)(O.
The proposed expansion of District No. 1 consisting of 12 parcels, qualifies to be included in a
redevelopment district because each noncontiguous parcel is occupied by improvements, and
contains on substandard single-family or two-family home. Therefore each separate parcel
independently meets all the tests for a redevelopment district under M.S., Section 469.174, Subd 10
(a)(1).
Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, wouM not reasonably be
expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and
that the increased market value of the site that couM reasonably be expected to occur without the
use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result
from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments
for the maximum duration of District No. 1 permitted by the Plan.
Each parcel is occupied by a single family home in poor condition. Due to the high cost of

development or redevelopment on the parcels and the cost of financing, the redevelopment for new
housing will occur only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. In most cases,
significant other public and private assistance will be required as well.
A comparative analysis of estimated market values both ~vith and without the proposed expansion
of Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. 1 and the use of tax increments
has been performed as described above. If ail development which is proposed to be assisted with
tax increment for the proposed expansion were to occur in District No. 1, the total increased market
value would be up to $1,620,000. It is the Council's finding that no development with a market
value of greater than $819,126 would occur without tax increment assistance in this district within
20 years. In fact, the Council is confident that no development of any kind would occur and market
values would likely deteriorate. This finding is based upon evidence from general past experience
with housing in the City (see Cashflow in Appendix C).
Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District No. 1 conforms to the general plan for
the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole.
The Plan was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 6, 1997. The Planning and
Zoning Commission found that the Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City.
Finding that the Tax Increment Financing Plan for District No. 1 will afford maximum opportunity,

The project to be assisted by Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I will
result in improved private housing stock in the City and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of
substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high quality development to the
c~ty.
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I 2-17
Subsection 2-25. Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the City or EDA may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscal
disparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd 3, clause a, (outside District No. 1)
are followed, the following method of computation shall apply:
The original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacity shah be determined before
the application of the.fiscal disparity provisions of Chapter 276,4 or 473F. Where the
original net tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no
captured net tax capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original net tax
capacity is less than the current net tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax
capacity and the current net tax capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less
any portion thereof ~vhich the authority has designated, in its tax increment financing plan,
to share with the local taxing districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the
authority.
The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from
the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates.
The local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tar
capacity of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax
generated by the extension of the lesser of(A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B} the
original local tax rate to the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax
increment of the authority.
If the calculations pursuant to ~S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within District No. 1 ) are followed,
the following method of computation shall apply:
The original net tar capacity shah be determined before the application of the .fiscal
disparity provisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall e:cclude
any fiscal disparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original
year and the current year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to
M.S., Section 276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F. 08, subdivision 6. Where the
original net tax capacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no
captured tax capacity and no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity
is less than the current tax capacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and
the current net tax capacity is the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion
thereof which the authority has designated, in its tax increment financingplan, to share with
the local taxing districts is the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from
the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates.
The local tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tar
capacity of the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax
generated by the extension of the less of(A) the local taxing district tax rates or (By the
original local tax rate to'the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax
increment of the authority.
The Ci~ or EDA shall submit to the County Auditor at the time of the request for certification xvhich method
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax lnctement Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I 2-18
of computation of fiscal disparities the City or EDA elected.
As the project to be assisted is not anticipated to include commercial/industrial development, the City
of Columbia Heights will not incur any fiscal disparities because of this Tax Increment Financing
District.
According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a)
or (b) shah remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body
may elect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the
method in paragraph (b).
Subsection 2-26. Other Limitations on the Use of Tax Increment
General Limitations. All revenue derived from tax increment shall be used in accordance with the
Plan. The revenues shall be used to finance, or otherwise pay public redevelopment costs of the
Central Business District Redevelopment Project pursuant to the M.S., Sections 469. 001 to 469. 047;
These revenues shall not be used to circumvent existing levy limit law. No revenues derived from
tax increment shall be used for the acquisition, construction, renovation, operation or maint~'nance
of a building to be used primarily and regularly for conducting the business of a municipality,
county, school district, or any other local unit of government or the state or federal government.
This provision shall not prohibit the use of revenues derived from tax increments for the construction
or renovation of a parking structure, a commons area used as a public park or a facility used for
social, recreational or conference purposes and not primarily for conducting the business of the
municipality.
Pooling Limitations. At least 75 percent of tax increments from DistrictNo. 1 must be expended on
activities in District No. 1 or to pay bonds, to the extent that the proceeds of the bonds were used to
finance activities within said district or to pay, or secure payment of, debt service on credit enhanced
bonds. Not more than 25 percent of said tax increments may be expended, through a development
fund or otherwise, on activities outside of District No. 1 except to pay, or secure payment of, debt
service on credit enhanced bonds. For purposes of applying this restriction, all administrative
expenses must be treated as if they were solely for activities outside of District No. 1.
Five Year Limitation on Commitment of Tax Increments. Tax increments derived from District No.
1 shall be deemed to have satisfied the 75 percent test set forth in paragraph (2) above only if the five
year rule set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 3, has been satisfied; and beginning with the
sixth year following certification of District No. 1, 75 percent of said tax increments that remain
after.expenditures permitted under said five year rule must be used only to pay previously committed
expenditures or credit enhanced bonds as more fully set forth in M.S., Section 469.1763, Subd. 5.
Redevelopment District. At least 90 percent of the revenues derived from tax increment from a
redevelopment district must be used to finance the cost of correcting conditions that allow
designation of redevelopment and renewal and renovation districts under M.S., Section 469.174.
These costs include acquiring properties containing structurally substandard buildings or
improvements, acquiring adjacent parcels necessary to provide a site of sufficient size to permit
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing District No. I 2o19
development, demolition of structures, clearing of the land, and installation of utilities, roads,
sidewalks, and parking facilities for the site. The allocated administrative expenses of the City or
EDA may be included in the qualifying costs.
Subsection 2-27. State Tax Increment Financing Aid
Pursuant to M..S., Section 273.1399, for tax increment financing districts for which certification was
requested after April 30, 1990, a municipality incurs a reduction in state tax increment financing aid
(RISTIFA) applied to the municipality's Local Government Aids (LGA) first and, Homestead and
Agricultural Aid (HACA) second, in an amount equal to a formula based upon the equalized qualifying
captured tax capacity (QCTC) of the tax increment financing district.
- Pursuant to M.S., Section 273.1399, Subd. 6, the City or EDA may choose an option to the LGA-HACA
penalty. District No. 1 is exempt from the LGA-HACA reduction if the City or EDA elects to make a
qualifying local contribution at the time of approving the tax increment financing plan. To qualify, for the
exemption in each year, the City or EDA must make a qualifying local contribution to the project of a certain
percentage. The local contribution for a redevelopment district is 5 percent. The maximum local
contribution for all districts in the City in any year is limited to two percent of the City's net tax capacity,
after which point the City or EDA must make an additional contribution equal to the lesser of(a) 0.25 percent
of the City's net tax capacity or (b) 3 percent of tax increment revenues for that year.
The amount of the local contribution must be made out of unrestricted money of the City or EDA, such as
the general fund, a property tax levy, or a federal or state grant-in-aid which may be spent for general
government purposes. The local contribution may not be made, directly or indirectly, with tax increments
or developer payments. The local contribution must be used to pay project costs and cannot be used for
general government purposes.
The EDA elects to make the annual local contribution to the project to exempt itself from the LGA-
HACA penalty. The City, or EDA will pay for costs of the project described in this Plan, in an amount equal
to 5 percent of annual tax increment for District No. I, subject to the limitations described above, in any year
in which such amount exceeds 2 percent of the City's net tax capacity. Such contribution may be in form
of either lump sum or annual payments (in addition to tax increment payments) towards costs identified in
this Plan or other costs related to that development or redevelopment. The contribution may also be made
in the form of public improvements financed by the City or EDA or other unit of government with
unrestricted funds.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
The 2001 Legislature eliminated the provisions for a reduction in state tax increment financing aid
(RISTIFA) or the alternative qualifying local contribution.
Subsection 2-28. Count. Road Costs
Pursuant to 3d.S., Section 469.175, Subd. Ia, the county board may require the City or EDA to pay for all or
part of the cost of counW road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax increment
will, in the judgement of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction of
road improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next five
years under a capital improvement plan or other county plan.
Columbia Heights EDA Modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment Financing Dislrict No. I 2-20
In the opinion of the City and EDA and consultants, the proposed development outlined in this Plan will
have little or no impact upon county roads. If the county elects to use increments to improve county
roads, it must notify the City or EDA within thirty days of receipt of this Plan.
(As Modified December 17, 2001)
Subsection 2-29. Supporting Documentation
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd 1, clause 7 the Plan must contain identification and
description of studies and analyses used to make the determination set forth in M.S. Section
469.175 Subd3, clause (2). A list of reports and studies that support the authority's findings are on
file at the E.D.A.

(R£DEVELO~MENT DISTRICT)
Dear Mr. Anderson:
In April of 1997 I conducted a visual windshield survey of
residential properties in the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota.
I have identified fifty-five (55) properties in the City with
residential structures which are deemed to be structurally
substandard in accordance with requirements of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subdivision 10.
I hereby certify that each of the fifty-five parcels are occupied
by buildings which are substandard based upon their size, age,
building-type, and/or condition. Furthermore, based upon my
general knowledge of the area and similar types of housin~ in order
to bring the building(s) into compliance with current codes the
average cost of plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs for
each structure will exceed fifteen (15) percent of the cost of
..constructing a new structure of the same square footage and type on
the site. This certification applies to each property listed in
Appendix B and included in the Housing Redevelopment Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1 Plan.
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Meeting of: November 20, 2001
AGENDA SECTION: Items for ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE
Consideration, Other Business DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR
NO: 9-C- ~- APPROVAL
ITEM: One Year Extension for Agreement BY: Mark Nagel BY:
with Center for Energy and Environment DATE: November 9, 2001
BACKGROUND: In 1999, the Columbia Heights EDA entered into an agreement with the Center for
Energy and Environment (CEE), an independent, non-profit 501 (C) 3 organization that works to promote
responsible and efficient use of natural and economic resources, to provide comprehensive housing
rehabilitation services for the Community Development Block Grant program. The City entered into a
similar agreement for the MHFA loan programs at the same time. Both contracts were extend for an
addition year in December of 2000. Both agreements will expire on December 31, 2001.
As you know CEE provides program development, marketing, loan and grant origination, inspection
and/or remodeling advice to a number of private and public housing agencies, including Fridley HRA,
Anoka HRA, Richfield HRA, Blaine EDA, and Anoka County HRA.
While their performance with MHFA Programs has been excellent with 76 loans closed totaling almost
$892,000 - almost double last year's 39 loans closed and about $426,000, there have been continuing staff
and client concerns regarding the CDBG grant/loan program. Processing by CEE has been slow causing
the EDA/City to be put on notice that we were in danger of losing these funds. Staff has determined that
Anoka County Community Action Program (ACCAP) would do a better job of servicing the CDBG
loan/grant program as they are set up to handle federal program regulations, have the experience to
administer the program, have offices close to Columbia Heights, and administers the program for a
number of other Anoka County cities. Staff believes the best option for the EDA and the residents of
Columbia Heights is to split the administration of the housing rehabilitation program with MHFA loans
processed by CEE and the Community Development Block Grants by ACCAP.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends renewal of a one-year agreement with CEE for the
administration of MHFA housing rehabilitation programs and the administration of the Community
Development Block Grants be transferred to ACCAP for the year 2002.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to negotiate an agreement for administrative
services with ACCAP for the Community Development Block Grant Program and bring it back to the
EDA for consideration.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to recommend City Council approve the agreement for
administrative services between CEE and the City for the MHFA Home Improvement Loans based upon
their proposal.

Meeting of: November 20, 2001
AGENDA SECTION: Items for ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE
Consideration, Other Business DEPARTMENT: EDA DIRECTOR
NO: C~_ O~- 3 APPROVAL
ITEM: Establish a Business Revolving Loan BY: Mark Nagel BY:
Fund Review Committee DATE: November 13, 2001
BACKGROUND: With the sale of the Neilsen and Chartraw loans to Community Reinvestment
Fund, Inc. for $33,343.67 and the early repayment of the Warrick loan of$1,811.89, there is
approximately $35,155.56 in the Business Revolving Loan Fund (BRLF), plus an undetermined
amount from the repayments of the outstanding business loans over the past 5 years. In researching
into the BRLF files, staff has learned that the committee has not met since February 29, 1996, so it
has been at least that long since any review of the attached regulations has been conducted. Before
the EDA "reactivates" the Loan Review Committee, staff would like to work with a Committee of 3
Commissioners to review and update the bylaws. Legal Counsel, Steve Bubul has suggested that the
EDA handle this issue, even though, the HRA originally initiated the Bylaws, since it will be one of
the programs transferred to the EDA by the HRA.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the establishment of a 3 member Committee to work
with staff to review the Bylaws and Plans of the BRLF Loan Review Committee and report back to the
Board any recommended revisions.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to establish a 3 member Committee to review the BRLF Loan
Review Committee Bylaws and Plans and submit recommended revisions to the EDA Board.

CONDITION STUDY PROCEDURE
Our work consisted of the following:
1. Observations:
Obse.rvations were performed on September 6, 2001. Visible structural elements of the
parking structure were observed. This included interior and exterior columns, beams,
slabs, interior foundation walls, curbs, joints and joint sealant etc. The intent of our
observations was to identify structural concerns.
2. Photographic Documentation:
Photographs were taken to record the observed condition of the parking ramp and to
illustrate any items of concern that were noted.
3. Concrete Sounding:
Chain dragging was performed in 100% of the drive lanes and in as many parking stalls
as possible to identify delaminated concrete along the topside of the slabs.
4. Chloride Ion Testing
Concrete dust samples were collected at three different locations within the ramp. Two
dust samples were taken at each sampling location for a total of six samples. The
sampling was performed in one inch increments starting at the top of the slabs, therefore
the top two inches of the concrete were tested. The samples were tested in an
independent laboratory to determine the water soluable chloride ion content.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The ramp consists of three structural parking levels with a slab on grade parking level below.
The structural parking levels are post tensioned concrete slabs. The slabs are supported by
conventionally reinforced columns and post-tensioned beams.
The main entrance to the ramp is located along the south side of the structure. There is also
another entrance/exit on the north side from the adjacent alley.

CONCERNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCERN # 1: Localized Concrete Delaminations
Topside concrete delaminations were identified in some areas by visual observation and chain
dragging. The most severe condition exists on level 1 at the main entrance (see photo # 1). The
delaminations occur primarily over beam lines which is an indication that the negative moment
reinforcing has begun to corrode. Delaminations were also identified in the concrete curbs (see
photo #2).
RECOMMENDATION #1: Partial Depth Concrete Repairs
Restoration of distressed concrete areas should include:
- Remove the distressed concrete to sound material and sandblast the exposed reinforcing steel
to remove all mst and metal scaling.
- Review condition of reinforcing steel to determine extent of potential deterioration.
- Install additional reinforcing steel if significant deterioration has occurred.
- Following the inspection and/or repair of the concrete reinforcement, the restoration area
should be reconstructed with new concrete to the original condition.
CONCERN #2: Distressed Joint Sealant
Distressed joint sealant was identified in several areas by visual observation (see photos #3-#4).
A crack occurs at every level in the area where the slab "crosses over" from one bay to the other.
This crack has been routed and sealed in the past, however, the sealant in these cracks has failed.
Another example of failed sealant is the cove joint sealant at the exterior sidewalk. The
construction joint sealant is also showing signs of distress.
RECOMMENDATION #2: Replace Joint Sealant
The joint sealant in the slab cross over area and the cove joint sealant at the sidewalks should be
replaced as soon as possible. The construction joint sealant should be replaced in the next 5-10
years. Spot repairs may be an option in the short term.
CONCERN #3: High Chloride Ion Levels
At all three test locations the chloride ion content is relatively high. The levels are lower as the
test locations get deeper, but are still relatively high. Specific test results are given in the "Test
Results" section of this report.

RECOMMENDATION #3: Installation of Waterproofing Membrane
In our opinion a traffic bearing, waterproofing membrane should be applied to the supported
levels. In our opinion, the membrane would help prevent further migration and accumulation of
chloride ions in the concrete slabs. The service life of the post tensioned system can be greatly
increased if the post tensioned cables are protected from the harmful effects of chloride ion and
moisture. An alternative would be to apply a penetrating concrete sealer product, and route and
seal all topside concrete cracks. ·
CONCERN #4
Photograph # 5 illustrates a crack in the comer of the post-tensioned slab.'
RECOMMENDATION #4:
The crack should be injected with epoxy to prevent water from entering the crack.
CONCERN #5:
One of the drains on the roof level is missing a cover. This a potential tripping hazard.
RECOMMENDATION #5:
We recommend replacing the drain cover.
CONCERN #6:
A portion of the flashing is missing around the stair core at the roof level.
RECOMMENDATION #6:
We recommend replacing the flashing to prevent water leakage to the levels below.
CONCERN #7:
The expansion joint material between the stair core and the rest of the structure is showing signs
of distress. This occurs primarily at the roof level.
RECOMMENDATION #7:
Continue to monitor the condition of the expansion joint material and replace if condition
worsens.

CONDITION STUDY PROCEDURE
Our work consisted of the following:
1. Observations:
o
o
Observations were performed on September 6, 2001. Visible structural elements of the
parking structure were observed. This included interior and exterior columns, beams,
slabs, interior foundation walls, curbs, joints and joint sealant etc. The intent of our
observations was to identify structural concerns.
Photographic Documentation:
Photographs were taken to record the observed condition of the parking ramp and to
illustrate any items of concern that were noted.
Concrete Sounding:
Chain dragging was performed in 100% of the drive lanes and in as many parking stall~
as possible to identify delaminated concrete along the topside of the slabs.
Chloride Ion Testing
Concrete dust samples were collected at three different locations within the ramp. Two
dust samples were taken at each sampling location for a total of six samples. The
sampling was performed in 1-inch increments starting at the top of the slabs, therefore the
top 2 inches of the concrete was tested. The samples were tested in an independent
laboratory to determine the water soluable chloride ion content.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The ramp consists of three structural parking levels with a slab on grade parking level below.
The structural parking levels are post tensioned concrete slabs. The slabs are supported by
conventionally reinforced concrete columns and post-tensioned concrete beams.
The main entrance and exit of the ramp is located along the north side of the structure.

simply could not do what we do with you! Fall is here and we are grateful for the
tremendous support you have provided during our busiest construction season ever.
Donation: Property at 3913 Polk Street NE.
Presently, thousands of volunteers are freely donating their time, talent and
labor working alongside homebuying families to build affordable homes across the
Twin Cities at over 53 sites. Gifts like yours, allow each of us, in our own unique and
valuable ways to be on the front lines, building homes that make a difference in the
lives of families in our community every single day.
We at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity feel that the 69 homes being built
year, express the best of our community's values of hard work, service, citizenship,
and love for our neighbors and the places where we live. Thank you for the City of

HOUSING UPDATE NOVEMBER, 2001
1. On Wednesday, October 17t~, staffmet with Kim Smart, MHFA First-Time Homebuyer Program
Manager, to get the latest results for Columbia Heights. She stated that a total of 9 loan
"reservations" were made in the City with 7 of them closing; 4449 7th Street ($98,135), 4320 7t~
Street ($142,400), 3705 Van Buren Avenue ($133,422), 4643 6th Street ($138,329), 4038 7th
Street ($119,515), 4700 6~h Street ($147,155), and 1613 39th Avenue ($127,988). The total of the
7 closed loans is $906,944(report attached). Miss Stuart said there was one more loan being
processed for a Columbia Heights home, so the total could potentially go over $1,000,000. Final
results will be available by the December Housing Update. This is the highest number of
mortgages for first-time homebuyers under this program ever in Columbia Heights!
2. At the same meeting, staff also discussed with Ms. Stuart the potential for a separate allocation of
First-time Homebuyer's Program dollars for the Columbia Heights EDA in 2002. Stuart
informed staff that the amount of dollars available under this program in 2002 will be only one-
half of the $59 million that were available in 2001. As a new participant, the Columbia Heights
EDA may get only the minimum of $100,000 in 2002. As a result, it appears that the EDA would
be better off sticking with Anoka County in 2002, as their allocation will in the range of $3 to $4
million. However, she did indicate that brochures can be printed with the Columbia Heights
EDA name on it, which would raise EDA's visibility in the community, so I gave her the "go
ahead" to do that for the EDA. Anoka County plans on submitting an application for the 2002
program in mid-January.
3. Crestview signed a lease to replace the Little Voyageurs Montessori School with "Free To Be"
Daycare Center at their Columbia Park facility. The new "Free To Be" Daycare Center will take
infants through preschool at the facility. They will be providing before and after school care to
low-income residents of Columbia Heights. The daycare center opened the week of October 8~.
The Little Voyageurs Montessori School has temporarily relocated to St. Timothy's Lutheran
Church. "Free To Be", non-profit organization serving low income Anoka County residents, also
operates a car care clinic once a month for low income car owners that cannot afford repairs, as
well as a car donation program that benefits people that could not otherwise afford one to get to
work. On Wednesday, November 7th, I attended a fundraising meeting of "Free To Be", as they
will be "kicking off" an attempt to raise about $108,000 to expand their car care program, most
likely in Columbia Heights.
4. Housing TIF District #2 (P4), which was established to construct senior housing adjacent to St.
Tim's Lutheran Church, is now officially decertified with the approval by the EDA Board on
October 16t~ and the City Council on October 22nd.
5. A Public Hearing for the modifications to Housing TIF District #1 has been set for Monday,
December 17th at 7:00 PM. A total of 12 parcels will be added to the 56 parcels currently in the
Dislrict, which will use funds generated from the District for housing rehab. Funds expected to
be generated from this District must be used by September, 2002.
6. As the HRA begins the process for the 2002 Annual PHA Plan with a Public Hearing early next
year, we are still working on the final approval for the 2001 Annual PHA Plan. At present, we
have received a certification from Anoka County that the 2001 Annual PHA Plan is consistent
with Anoka County Housing Plans (copy attached). Staff will also be incorporating any changes
that HUD will be requiring resulting from their review of the Plan.
7. The forms for reimbursement of the $6,709.90 for underpayments to Millar Elevator Service
employees for the elevator modernization project at Parkview Villa were submitted to HUD the
week of October 22nd. Staff did receive the funds from HUD for payment and we are trying to
confirm in writing that the HRA can move forward to complete the process of paying the
workers.
8. The City has received clearance from Anoka County and the Department of Housing and Urban
Development to purchase the home owned by Ms. Heidi Von Heidemann at 3718 Central Avenue
with Community Development Block Grant funds (see attachment). The final purchase price is
$70,000 and no relocation benefits will be paid. Land Title, Inc. will handle the closing on
Monday, November 19, 2001. Reimbursement of the $70,000 from the CDBG Program will take
place shortly.
9. The closing for the sale of the HRA's 2 remaining Home Mortgage Loans to Community
Reinvestment Fund, Inc. took place on Thursday, November 1st. Because of lower interest rates,
the HRA netted about 2% more than originally anticipated. The total amount received was
$33,343.67, which is about 88% of value (see attached check copy). The funds will eventually be
placed in the EDA's Business Revolving Loan Fund. Letters explaining the sale of the loans
have been sent to the Neilsens and Chartraw.
10. The City has received its reimbursement check from Anoka County for $70,000 from the CDBG-
HOME fund program (copy of check attached). As you may recall, the funds were a key piece of
the financing for the purchase of 4401 Quincy Street, which is being redeveloped as a twinhome
by Habitat for Humanity. Demolition of the existing home at 4401 Quincy Street NE is now
complete, excavation work is done, and the foundation is getting ready for pouring. As for 3913
Polk Street, framing is nearly complete, if the weather holds, both properties could be ready for
inside work by winter.
11. Attached is a copy of the latest update for CDBG Rehab Program from CEE for your information.
It shows that the entire Year 2000 allocation of $119,189.04 has either been spent or is in process,
as of October 29th.
12. Staffplans to begin working on reviewing the financial proforma for the HRA-owned 4-plex at
4607 Tyler Street this month.
13. Staffreceives a few phone calls from people interested in Home Improvement Loans, because of
the City website. On my "list of things to do" is to talk to a focus group of residents about how
we can upgrade the way housing information is presented on the website. If any Commissioner is
interested in participating in the process, let me know.
