The current contract allows additions, but this would require a public hearing. The area south of 46th Avenue needs more work than the area north of there. Sealcoating would work for eight years.

On Friday a call was received from Mr. Hertz requesting a list of violations. Staff has not been able to enter the unit since February 1, so license revocation is requested.

The ownership has not changed, but Ms. Kanis, who has a large background in management, would now oversee . management. There were problems with improper staff or tenants. At the other revocation hearings there has not been representation by the owners, and asked that this be taken as a sign that that will be change.

Diehm asked that Mr. Hertz bring a message back to the owner, that this has been disrespectful to Council and staff, as revocation repeatedly comes back before Council with only small steps take to avoid revocation for that time. If the owners are committed to improvement, they should have had the consideration to come before Council and state that. Nawrocki asked Mr. Hertz how long he has been involved in the property.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION - none ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager . Meeting this Thursday, 6:30 p.m. with a presentation by staff regarding Zones 7B and 1A for street repaIrs. . Work session discussion addressed wading pool repairs. Nawrocki requested he contact Mr. Kurk. .spoke to him and found the Health Department has not mandated pool repair, but they are doing so .anyway. Anoka County has stated that we need to add circulation in the center of the pool instead of skimmers and to remove the ledge around the pool, which has been there for 30 years. Weare not opposed to improving the pools, but it would be a minimum cost of $60,000 for the three pools. Adding new features would be $120,000 to $130,000. Discussion will continue. Nawrocki requested getting Commissioner Kordiak involved. These pools have been here for 25 to 30 years and have served their purpose with no major incidents. To stop this would be a disservice to residents.

We ended up giving them an increase in addition to their built in increase, but they are saying it is still not enough. Staff of the HRA did not want to go out for bids because they are too busy, but now we are talking about a study for the gyms. It Work session discussed changes in the recycling program at an additional cost of about $2.60 and questioned where the money would come from. We need to take a better look at what other cities are paying for recycling, as we are relatively small and the cost of getting around the city is a lot less than areas with larger lot frontages. . All Council members received letters from the ASFME city employee group on negotiations. It is fair to recognize this and hope that their concerns will be considered. . Star Bar article in the newspaper about heavy metal bands playing there. This facility has turned from a restaurant to a bar type operation with heavy metal music and is not appropriate in our community. This happened because we relaxed our liquor license requirements regarding percentage of food to liquor served. Believe we need to remove that category. . We have an obligation to officially receive donations. Now there is a policy change from accepting them annually to quarterly. Money should not be deposited until officially received and specified P.14 City Council Minutes FebruaryI3,2006 Page 1 1 of 12 what it is for. The Stated follows how gambling funds are used. Fehst indicated that in speaking to the Finance Director mojoI' contributions of over $500 would be accepted at the next Council meeting and small contributions would be accepted annually. Hoeft clarified Stated Statute, which only requires a Resolution accepting the gift if the owner wants the fimds used for a specific pwpose. They do not require a Resolution if added to the General Fund. The Auditor would like you to track gifts, but it is only required when used for a specific purpose. The Booster's money can only be donated for certain things. It should be accepted and noted if it is for general purposes. · American and County publication regarding New Brighton problems with Polynesian project and things they did, which are similar to our problems east of Me Dona Ids.

He will sign up for the improving fiscal futures committee. . There will be an all school reunion for Columbia Heights on Sunday, April 30, 1 :00 p.m. at Murzyn Hall. . We 'owe reimbursement to the people whose homes were backed up with sewage because our sanitary sewer system lines were not cleaned. He asked that this be carried forward, Fehst stated that our insurance did not pay these claims because the city had done what they needed to. The City initiated the sump pump program so we could obtain no fault insurance. The impetus for the sump pump program came from the Met Council and additional costs we would face. Hoeft explained the city policy for clean up and if we follow the schedule we will have no liability. If we do not do that and there is a backup in the line with private damage then we are responsible. Williams stated he remembered the situation, as several neighbors had their lines cleaned and it ' got into our lines and blocked them, Fehst stated that we had maintained the lines in that area, but a private company cleaned lines and did not contact us. This would mean the main line is not big enough. Peterson suggested the Public Works Director discuss this at a work session. Kelzenberg stated he does not want to revisit this issue. They were offered fimds and they refused it. That is why we have the LMC and lawyers. Williams stated that we now have no fault insurance. Diehm .

Motion by Greenhalgh to waive the fee for the benefit, second by Hoium. All ayes, motion carried. OLD BUSINESS Sister Cities International member Cliff Shedlov attended the commission meeting to discuss the request for a display cabinet in Murzyn Hall. This cabinet will mostly be used for posters and flyers to advertise for the Sister Cities organization. It will be similar to the display cabinet in city hall, 5 to 6 inches deep and 4x3 feet with one shelf. The placement would be by the Recreation Office glass doors, across from the coatroom. Windschitl asked ifthe Lion's Club was willing to use some of their space in the LaBelle Lounge. Hoium replied that there was no interest from the members at their last meeting. Mr. Shedlov thanked the commission for their time on this request and will wait for a response from Recreation Director Windschitl. Commission member McDonald asked if this location was okay with the recreation director. Windschitl responded that he approved of the location, as this would be a better place than in the LaBelle Lounge where glass is replaced frequently due to breakage. Motion by Payne to accept the request for a cabinet not to exceed 5 to 6 inches out from the wall and fully funded by the Sister Cities organization, second by McDonald. All ayes, motion carried. Public Works Director/City Engineer Hansen gave handouts to the commission about the wading pools. The handout included a quote, not a bid, from the company that the City of Minneapolis is using for updating their wading pools and a list of the violations received at the Columbia Heights wading pools during the inspection on June 14,2005. Anoka County does have the authorization to shut down the wading pools. The annual h~spection packet vias received. Hal1.Sen asked if tllere is a true desire to havre the vvading pools in operation. Commission members discussed and agreed that the public wading pools are very highly used by the community. The estimated cost to bring each pool into compliance $60,000; that does not include any fencing or electrical work. One possible option would be to reconstruct one pool per year within our budget or if there is an interest in shutting down the wading pools, and possibly building a water feature at one City Park. Commission member Payne asked if anyone had brought this issue to the attention of the City Council. Hansen replied that it was brought to their attention in the summer and the proper improvements were made to the wading pools to keep them open for the 2005 season. Peterson asked of Ramsdell Park would be able to hold a new pool. Hfuisen stated that the park is going tlu'ough a process of consolidation over time as the park continues to settle. Commission member Stroik suggested that we spend the money on one stable area to have at least one wading pool available to use. Peterson suggested building a type of wood deck around the edge of the pool to make the surface around the pool even with the edge ofthe pool. Hansen replied that the major cost of bringing the P.18 Park & Recreation Commission February 10,2006 3 pools up to code is fixing where the pool water is drawn from and how it is filtered. The current filtration system does not cycle the water as often as required by code. Hansen indicated that the City Council would be receiving wading pool information at she next work session. Commission member Foss suggested tabling this matter until next month. Public Works Director/City Engineer Hansen updated the commission on the status of the ball field lighting for Prestemon Park. The City Council authorized staff to put a feasibility report together regarding this project. The estimated total cost would be $85,000 for the installation of and six 60-foot poles with a total of22 luminaries. This particular lighting would have very low light spillage, about the same as a pedestrian light on the street. Windschitl informed the commission that the parking would generally be the same as it has been in previous years. He believes that Prestemon Park is currently not being used to it's full potential, this is a very nice park with fairly new amenities and any lighting ofthe field would add safety for people walking arollild the park especially in the early spring and fall as it gets dark earlier in the evening. The ball fields at Prestemon Park will not only be used for men's softball games, but for all of our youth teams, girl's softball and other recreational youth activities. Ifthe Huset Park Project moves forward the fields at Huset will be unusable for an undetermined amount of time. At that time there will be an increased need for ball field space. Hansen felt that a public hearing should be set for our Park and Recreation Commission meeting possibly in March. NEW BUSINESS At the City Council Meeting on January 9,2006 the Recreation Director received a donation of$30,000 for youth recreation. The commission would like to express their gratitude toward the Columbia Heights AtWetic Booster Association for their donation towards our youth recreation programs. REPORTS RECREATION DIRECTOR Windschitl informed the commission that new beer coolers were installed behind the bar. One cooler went out at the end of the year and the other one has had many problems in the past. He thanked Mayor Gary Peterson for his assistance in removing the old coolers. By doing all of the installati01:i in-house we were able to save money. Windschitl invited any of the commission members to attend the joint City Council and School Board meeting on January 30,2006. The major topic of discussion will be the possible addition of gym space in the City. The commission members held a discussion about gym locations possibilities. The commission was in agreement that we need to move forward with this issue and that more gym space is needed within Columbia Heights. P.19 Park & Recreation Commission February 10, 2006 4 Windschitl informed the cOlmnission that the proposed John P. Murzyn Hall rental rates for 2007 were approved by the City Council. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER Hansen reported to the commission that the ice rinks will be shutting down for the year due to the poor weather conditions for the ice. Foss infonned the commission that he had received complaints from the neighborhood around Gauvitte Park that there are no warming houses available. Greenhalgh asked about the status of Huset Park field #3. Hansen reported that the backstop will be up shortly, and the field will be completely ready by Aprill, 2006. The High School varsity coach was contacted to ensure the dimensions of the field would work for the girl's softball team. Greenhalgh asked about the placement of the first baseline bleacher seating. Hansen indicated the bleachers would need to be moved further down than the previous year. COMMISSION MEMBERS Commission member Stroik reported that a light at Keyes Park is out the top of the hill. Hansen indicated that he would follow up on that matter. Stroik informed the commission that a resident in the Prestemon neighborhood spoke to her about the lighting of the ball fields. This resident was not aware of the need for our youth league programs to have more fields to use in the City. Hansen asked ifthere was a way to rearrange the concentration of what field is used for adult leagues versus youth leagues. Windschitl replied that in the past the Recreation Program has not had that opportunity with the lack of lighted fields, but the schedule could be restructured in anyway based on numbers of teams.

P.24 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of February 27,2006 AGENDA SECTION: ..- A .-/ !:J'. --s ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Fire ITEM: BY: Gary Gorman NO: NO: DATE: February 27, 2006 Background: A change in State Statute 424a.04 mandates that the City Council annually appoint 2 trustees to the Columbia Heights Fire Department Volunteer Relief Association board of trustees. Prior to this change the Mayor and City Manager have automatically been the two trustees on the board. Under the new Statute one of the trustees must be an elected official and the other can be an elected or appointed official. Analysis/Conclusions: To maintain consistency, and to follow State Statute the Fire Department Volunteer Relief Association is requesting the City COlmcil to appoint the Mayor and City Manager to the board of trustees. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appoint the Mayor and City Manager to the Columbia Heights Fire Department Volunteer Relief Association board of trustees for 2006. COUNCIL ACTION: P.25 Columbia Heights Fire Department Volunteer Relief Association 555 Mill Street N.E. Columbia Heights, MN 55421 763-706-3650 Dear Gary, As you mayor may not recall the state law has changed regarding the ex-officio members that make up the Fire Department Relief Association Board of Trustees. Basically the state law now mandates that each year the City Council appoints one elected official to be a Relief Association ex-officio member and appoints one elected or one city official of their choice to be an ex-officio member. The Fire Chief is mandated by the statute to be an ex-officio member. We would like to ask the council to pick the following members to be ex-officio members on the Board of Trustees. The Mayor The City Manager I am not sure what paperwork would need to be done to get this item on a council meeting agenda, but with the help of the City Manager we will supply you and the Council with whatever information you require. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns /') I I kJ\ / 4' '-- ~~Ostmoe ?r-esident P.26 I Gary, Gorman - Statue Page 1 I From: To: Date: Subject: Joel Ostmoe Gary Gorman 2/8/2006 2:58:39 PM Statue The State statue for "Board of Trustees" membership is 424a.04 sub (1) 424A.04 Volunteer relief associations; board of trustees. Subdivision 1. Membership. (a) A relief association that is directly associated with a municipal fire department must be managed by a board of trustees consisting of nine members. Six trustees must be elected from the membership of the relief association and three trustees must be drawn from the officials of the municipalities served by the fire department to which the relief association is directly associated. The bylaws of a relief association which provides a monthly benefit service pension may provide that one of the six trustees elected from the relief association membership may be a retired member receiving a monthly pension who is elected by the membership of the relief association. The three municipal trustees must be one elected municipal official and one elected or appointed municipal official who are designated as municipal representatives by the municipal governing board annually and the chief of the municipal fire department.

HanSen~i ENGINEER TO AMEND THE 2006 SEAL COAT DATE: 2/22/06 DATE: FEASIBILITY REPORT TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF UNIVERSITY A VENUE SERVICE ROAD FROM 44TH AVENUE TO 53RD AVENUE Background: To comply with Minnesota State Statutes involving an assessed improvement project, a resolution must be passed by the City Council calling for a report on the necessity, cost effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed improvement. Analysis & Conclusions: Staff previously prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone lA of the Seal Coat Program, which was accepted by the City Council on January 23rd, 2006. The Zone lA area is bounded by Central Avenue on the west, 37th Avenue on the south, Reservoir Blvd on the east, and 45th Avenue on the north. It is proposed that Zone lA streets not included in the 2006 Street Rehabilitation program will be seal coated. Also included is 41 sl Avenue from 6th Street to the alley east of 7th Street. Streets rehabilitated in 1997 with full or partial street reconstruction or an overlay will be seal coated, but will not be assessed. At the February 13th, 2006 regular City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to add a segment of the University Sel'vice Road to the 2006 Seal Coat Program. The attached Resolution adds the University Service Road from 441h to 531"0 Avenues to the 2006 Seal Coat Program. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2006-24, there being ample copies available to the public. Recommended Motion: Move to :ttl~ Resolution 2006-24 being a resolution ordering the City Engineer to amend the 2006 Seal Coat Feasibility Report to include the addition of University Avenue Service Road from 44th Avenue to 531"d Avenue. Attachment: Resolution COUNCIL ACTION: P.28 RESOLUTION NO. 2006-24 BEING A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE CITY ENGINEER TO AMEND THE 2006 SEAL COAT FEASffiILITY REPORT TO INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF UNIVERSITY A VENUE SERVICE ROAD FROM 44TH AVENUE TO 53RD A VENUE CITY PROJECT - NO. 0601 WHEREAS, the City Council of Columbia Heights is proposing to rehabilitate local streets in Zone 1 A that have not been rehabilitated under the annual street program. WHEREAS, the City Council intends to assess the benefited property for all or a portion of the cost of the improvement, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.011 to 429.111 (Laws 1953, Chapter 398, as amended), and Section 103B.201 to 103B.251, as follows: 2006-01 ZONE lA SEAL COATING PROGRAM: AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE UNNERSITY SERVICE ROAD.

DATE: INCLUDES THE ADDITION OF UNIVERSITY A VENUE SERVICE ROAD FROM 44TH A VENUE TO 53RD A VENUE AND ADDING IT TO THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING OF MARCH 6, 2006 fI Background: Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone IA of the Seal Coat Program. Central Avenue on the west, 37th Avenue on the south, Reservoir Blvd on the east, and 45th Avenue on the north bound the Zone lA program area. Zone lA streets not included in the 2006 Street Rehabilitation program will be seal coated. Also included is 41 sl Avenue from 6th Street to the alley east of 7th Street. Streets rehabilitated in 1997 with full or partial street reconstruction or an overlay will be seal coated, but will not be assessed. Analysis/Co nelusions: The seal coat program helps preserve and maintain existing bituminous streets in good driving condition. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Assessment Methodology: The Seal Coating project will be assessed on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. Avenue assessments are 1/3 of the street rate extending Y2 block in either direction of the Avenue. This assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. The estimated unit cost assessment is $ 213.00 per Street parcel and $ 71.00 per Avenue parcel. 2. Financing: The estimated construction cost for the original program is $91,035. Adding the University Service Road segment from 44th to 53rd Avenues adds an estimated cost of $37,650, which is 50% assessable, due to half of the roadway abutting the City of Fridley. 3. Meeting dates: The City Council has established the date of March 6, 2006, at 6:00 pm for the Seal Coat Improvement Hearing, The attached resolution adds the University Service Road segment to that hearing. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2006-25, there being ample copies available to the public. Recomme~ded Motion: Move to ~g;t Resolution 2006-25 being a resolution accepting the amended 2006 Seal Coat Feasibility.

The Council will consider the improvement of such streets in accordance with the amended report and the assessment of abutting or benefited property for all or a portion of the cost ofthe improvement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 at an estimated total cost of the improvement of$128,685. 2.

Analysis/ConcIusio ns: The attached resolution calls for the City Engineer to prepare the required report for the University Service Road from 40th to 44th Avenues. These street segments are in more severe condition than north of 44th Avenue and will likely require a higher level of rehabilitation than seal coating. A separate Public Improvement Hearing would need to be held for this segment of roadway following completion and acceptance of the feasibility report.
