a timely matter.
Nawrocki stated a resident resident of Parkview Villa contacted him requesting that a garbage
can be placed closer to the walkway, by the light pole in the park, adjacent to Parkview, so when
residents walk her dogs in the winter months, it will be easier to get to with the snow on the
ground. Streetar will check with Public Works on availability of an extra garbage can to be
placed in that area.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
PUBLIC HEARING
Adopt Resolution 2002-07, Approving the 2003 PHA Plan
Nagel stated staff has met the HUD required forty-five days for review of the PHA Plan by the
public, Parkview Villa Resident Advisory Board, and Anoka County. The document will be
electronically transmitted and downloaded through the HUD web page REAC System after
approval of Resolution 2002-07. Once the plan is approved, the Capital Improvement
Committee will meet to decide which apartments need cabinet replacement this year, based upon
depreciation. Szurek felt the kitchens should be a high priority for the committee and asked what
the time limit for the funds to be spent is. Nagel stated the HRA has until June 30'* of 2006.
Motion by Peterson, second by Williams, to close the Public Hearing for the review of the draft
Housing and Redevelopment Authority Annual PHA Plan at 6:45 p.m. All ayes. Motion
Carried.

Motion by Peterson, second by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2002-07, of the Columbia Heights
Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) confirming approval of the Public Housing
Agency certifications of compliance with the PHA plans and related regulations, revisions to the
2000, 2001 and 2002 Capital Fund Program documents and direct staff to submit to HUD. All
ayes. Motion Carried.
Accept Bids and Approve Bid for Parkview Villa Re-Roof Project
Nagel stated the bids were opened at 2p.m. today in the City Hall, Conference Room I. All of
the bids listed on the spreadsheet provided by staff are approximately $60,000 to $70,000 lower
than the previous bids. All of the bidders, except for Rayco included the up-roof, metal,
cladding, and shingles to their proposals. Rayco was the lowest bidder, however, as you can see
in the letter from RI-IA Architects Inc. that their bid is missing a lot of the important information
necessary and recommend awarding the bid to Omni Roofing.
Jerry Peterson from Omni Roofing Company described the types of materials and process that
his company would use on the re-roofing project. The materials are from the Hickman System
that will drain water from the roof to the ground, they will apply four plys of polyester film over
the roof, the flood coating has a greater amount of UV resistors, flashing is made of mineral
surface material, and the metal is covered under the manufacturers warranty.
Nawrocki asked if Mr. Holman has any interest with the Hickman System products. Jerry
Peterson indicated that it was his understanding that another company bought the Hickman
System from Mr. Holman 's firm, but wasn't sure if he still had any investment in it. NawrocIa'
asked Nagel to clarify if there is a connection and report back to him.
