ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION - none ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager . Received a call from Senator Chaudhary and Senator Bakk to meet regarding the Eminent Domain bill and to discuss grandfathering activities for TIF Districts. There was talk to include one of our TIF areas. There will be additional meetings. We have contacted those involved and continue to send information. Nawrocki stated that Senator Goodwin did work to grandfather in our items, but was not successfitl to get those included. She did the best job possible to fight for her district that he has ever seen. Senate: 9~)nson and Representative Abrams suggested that City Council Minutes April 24, 2006 Page 6of9 they would do something to meet our concerns, but they do not want to favor just one city. We have prepared and submitted language for the bill. Peterson stated that he saw Barb Goodwin in session and 1-vas very impressed at how she worked for our cause. People should inlOw that she did the best job possible for us. Nawrocki stated that there would be something fairly restrictive passed, and questioned our next step. Weare not enforcing our present regulations and we need to clean up, such as along Third Street, 3ih and 40th for example. On the 3800 block there are two vehicles without plates not parked on pavement, and appear to be junk cars. The violations of our code are easy to see. The truck outside of the donut shop is not currently licensed and there were temporary signs in many locations. We don't enforce the rules we have on the book. Fehst stated that Councilmember Nawrocki is right, and our options are diminishing rapidly. Regarding housing on 3ih and University, something needs to be done. Ifwe get held up in redevelopment, our only option is to be extremely on top of the violations that do occur. Fehst stated that we are looking at bringing forward a commercial maintenance code during July, to cover general upkeep of businesses. Nawrocki suggested while inspections are being conducted, various violations should be noted and turned over to the appropriate department. Nawrocki questioned the break-in at the Public Works building through plywood that was not secured. Fehst stated the contractor was made aware of our displeasure. Their insurance company will be involved and we feel it should be for 100 percent. Nawrocki referred to concerns on the performance of the Allina ambulance serve. Fehst stated concerns with response time and ideally we would like an ambulance in town. We have meet with them before and can meet with them again. Nawrocki asked again that there be follow up on the information he brought back from the national conference on youth programs. Fehst indicated this has been turned over to the Recreation Director. Williams requested an update on 4152 Cleveland. Fehst stated that this property has been a problem for years and is substandard. He stated that there is a new owner and builder, and upon the advise of our Building Official they will demolish this structure and start over. Nawrocki referred to prior ownership and drug involvement. He stated concern that anyone involved in a drug operation not be involved in this house. Nawrocki stated that also in that same block there are three or four cars parked in a yard in the middle of the block. B) Report ofthe City Attorney - none CITIZENS FORUM Betty Thompson, 1035 Peter's Place, stated that she received a letter indicating that her apartment building she would be on this agenda regarding her mold situation, but it was not. She asked what could be done about this. Peterson stated that address had been removed from the agenda. Fehst stated that the owner probably agreed to take ofthe violations. He directed her to the Inspections Department for more information on this specific case. Dorinda Edlund, 4145 Jefferson, and her Mother, Carol, 4145 Jefferson came to voice their displease with property next to them that currently has 13 cars parked there. Nawrocki stated that the Police are suppose to check on this. Edlund indicated the problems are even worse on weekends and there are days she can not park in the handicap spot. Fehst stated people in the neighborhood need to call 911 on a regular basis and when they are in front of a judge for the violations, our attorney will ask that no quarter be given. Fehst indicated that we need to begin towing the vehicles. Peterson agreed that we need to get tough. Hoeft stated that these individuals have been through the court system extensively over the last year and one half, but the fire there slowed the activity. Hoeft suggested towing as it is quicker and more effective. Cars must be on a hard surface and be properly licensed or tr,::"1 6~-' be towed with 72 hours of being tagged. Edlund City Council Minutes April 24, 2006 Page 7 of9 related past incidents at the property. Hoeft stated that the owner has been fined heavily, but can not be jailed. He indicated towing has been made difficult by the moving around of vehicles. A more immediate abatement level and accelerated processes can be explored. Peterson stated the need to address this issue. The question was asked ifhe has a license for another site or ifhe is selling or repairing cars. Nawrocki stated the need to get a better handle on what this owner is doing. He questioned if there should be identification at the front and back of a handicapped parking stall. Hoeft stated yes, Nawrocki stated this spot only has one. Hoeft stated he would will discussion operational issues to address this with the Police and Fire Departments. Mrs. Edlund stated she called the police on a car that was park there for three days. An Officer told her that the title of the car was in the name ofthe previous owner and it would not be fair to ticket them. Nawrocki discussed the necessity to transfer vehicle titles. Fehst stated the need to be rigorous in how we enforce violations. Hoeft felt that towing would be effective. Leonard Deering, 43rd and Jefferson, questioned the Officer's comment that it would not be fair to issue a ticket. Hoeft indicated the Anoka County title transfer procedure, stating that if a ticket were issued for such a vehicle, they could show the paper work, and do a forced title transfer and get the underlining ticket dismissed. Fehst asked Mr. Deering ifhe was going to sell his front-end loader to remove it from his yard. Deering stated that he uses it to plow his driveway.

They are working on Xcel charges to communities for pumping rates - ours is not very large, and proposed changes in street lighting costs. Centerpoint Energy is trying to increase the monthly service charge, which is charged even jfthere is no usage. The fee was $5, then raised to $6.50, and now they want an increase to $8. The SRA is fighting this on the consumer's interest. In the proposed budget for next year, it was agreed there would be no increase in dues. . The Charter met last week and next week ( - ~ 1 -}osed Charter changes. Hoeft indicated the change City Council Minutes April 24, 2006 Page 8 of9 would be to create a ward system and to add lYvo additional council positions. The meeting last Thursday was theftrst readingfor the transition schedule of these changes. This would be necessmy (f the City Council or voters approved the changes. The meeting next Wednesday is for the second reading regarding the transition schedule. This will allow all items to be considered at the same time. The Charter Commission hopes the Council responses unanimously, but (f there is no such response under State Statute they have ability to take it to the voters. When this was previously addressed the public was not in favor, therefore he would not support this, so there would not be an unanimous vote. So we can assume it will go on the ballot this fall. Hoeft stated that such items are brought to Council as a courtesy, as clean up items have been. The Charter Commission has a 60 day time period Mdthin which to act. Now citizens have access to everyone on the council; with wards there may be a tendency to only worry about their ward. Referred to the Minneapolis ward struggles to obtain the Crock Foundation funds for a YMCA. · The Auditor or Secretary of State request information on our ideas as to what mandates could be changed. Because we have made complaints, we should let them know of things to benefit the taxpayers. · F or city purposes, his property tax statement increased 10%. Other properties he knows of were increased 11 % and 14%. Did not talk to anyone that did not see an increase of 10%.. In the Green Sheet the Finance Director states it was 4%. At budget time the Manager proposed 7.5%. A compromise was reached at 5.5%. Personally feels mislead by staff. Described that the levy amount is spread across the tax base. In his neighborhood the home values are decreasing. Apologized to residents he told the city tax would be 5.5%. There was a small decrease on the homestead amount. In the future we need better information on how the tax levies happen. Kordiak's people help with about 11,000 to 12,000 property tax refunds. You have to have sympathy for those only living on social security and the impact this has on their home budgets. · Waiting for financial report on the industrial area. Can't believe we don't have a better handle on this. The Bloomington mall billion dollar expansion will be 24 years not paying property taxes on that development. Williams · We are an Ad Velorm tax system. We passed a 5% total package. His tax increase was 8.4%, but the value of the home went up $18,000. We are a city that is being redeveloped. Understands it is tough being on just social security. There are programs to help and remember there is equity on a balance sheet. Residents can obtain a reverse mortgage on their home's equity. We need to protect our citizens by protecting the values of our homes. Fehst stated that the levy was 4.01%. Nawrocki stated that whatever the value does not change the levy. Peterson stated that we could go to a flat tax that everyone could understand. Residents are welcome to attend the Board of Review on May 1 to discuss the value placed on their home. However, most of us would not sell our home for the value they put on it. Values and ratings move all over. In 1968 his taxes were $1,500 and now are only $1,000 more. Those of us that have more should maybe take someone under our wing and subsidize their needs. Hoeft suggested subsidizing through SACA. Peterson · Last week we buried former Mayor Dale Hadtrath, was a good of all of us. Maryann Koken passed away, and Kenneth Rimie also passed away. That is why at the end of the meeting I say don't take life too seriously. · The Prayer Breakfast is Wednesday morning. Ivan Brown, Constable, Lieutenant Carlton Sterling, and daughter Sofie Brown will be here for the event. Thank you to Bobby Williams for bringing him in to speak at our Chief's conference and our prayer breakfast and to Dorothy Penate for taking them into her home and giving them a place to stay. I appreciate her involvement. · Sunday, April 30 will be the last day to takt _ 12 _~y for a brick. Thanked everyone for giving their City Council Minutes April 24, 2006 Page 9 of9 time and money.

INTRODUCTION The City Manager introduced the Anoka County Appraisers. · Jim Rouleau - Senior and Commercial Appraiser · Dan Stevenson, Residential Appraiser QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING PROPERTY VALUES Citizens in attendance were given an opportunity to raise questions regarding their property valuations. Harold Hoium, 4315, 4317, and 4321 5th Street indicated his tax statement was sent on April 11, 2006 and he just received it today. He indicated that what he would say was his opinion. He referred to damage to his property and his conversation with the Anoka County Assessor. He stated a realtor offered him $2,000 per lot for this property. Peterson asked ifthe appraisal was in writing. Hoium stated no, but his property has been trashed and his taxes still increased. Peterson stated that maybe the Appraiser should visit his property. Hoium stated his parcel is three lots and that the city wants to raze the buildings as hazardous. He has not been able to use his property since October 12, 2005 when posted by the city. Stevenson stated that he was there three weeks ago to do a drive by appraisal and he indicated that most of the value is in the lots. Peterson stated that the lots are worth more without the buildings, but he believed the value should be reduced. The parcel could be split into two lots. Stevenson asked to enter the buildings. Peterson stated that the Building Official could meet him at the site and show him pictures. The live broadcast of the meeting began. Nawrocki stated that appraisers have not been allowed in this home for many years and the builds are now condemned. Hoium stated the appraisers were in the buildings 26 years ago and he has not had use of his property since October of 2005. Stevenson stated that upon checking the property he was informed it was going through condemnation. Nawrocki asked for the land value at this time. Stevenson stated approximately $118,000. Nawrocki asked what the options were. Stevenson indicated it would be best to meet with the Building Official; and as long as the buildings are there they need to have a value. Nawrocki stated that this property goes to court on May 1 tho Hoium stated that no one would pay the appraised price. Peterson asked if the Board of Review could be continued until after that date. Stevenson stated that -14- May 1,2006 Page 2 of 4 would be too late. Nawrocki stated the Board of Review must be completed within 20 days. Anwaar Minhas, 4628-4634 Tyler Street, stated he bought his property in June 2004 and the tax value has increased $10,000, doubling since he bought it. He stated that renters are bad, he cannot keep them, it is a bad market, and everything goes up but the rent. Rouleau stated the property is valued at $100,000 less than the owner paid for it. The value set for his property is from October 2004 to 2005 when properties were still moving. Nawrocki stated that the per unit property taxes are 1I5th what his are for his home. Minhas stated that by next year he would not be able to pay for the property and will not be able to sell it Rouleau listed average sale prices of other units at $64,000 per unit and his was valued at $50,000 per unit, while he actually paid $58,000 a unit. Rouleau stated to make the appraisal they follow the market and value property from this. We can not hopscotch each year on the value; it is a long term market watch. Peterson stated the 3.2 percent increase is not out ofline for valuation. Haji Azam, 4616-4622 Tyler, stated he too had received a double tax increase in two years. Rouleau stated that value is part of the increase, as is the tax increase. Diehm stated that as a city our costs are going up too; heat, police officers, gas for police cars, etc. All we can do is make our city desirable and the best possible place for people that come here, and then they will pay the rents. We understand their position, but ask them to understand us. Azam indicated he also owns 4655 Pierce Street NE and 4927-4935 University, which had large increases from '04 to '05. Rouleau stated that his tax was only $51 different from his neighbor's. Rouleau indicated that buildings in that area were built in different years. Azam stated that other counties he owns property in have given him a break to pay the same taxes as the prior year. Rouleau stated that their assessments might have started at the peak amount. Peterson stated he believes these valuations are not off and tax amounts are for discussion at the tax hearing. Peterson indicated that if they are not satisfied with the decision tonight they could attend the County Board of Review. He indicated that Mr. Azam's tax is the lowest on the comparison sheets. Rouleau referred to comparisons with the average sale in the area at $378,375. Minhas stated his parcel is the same as his neighbors and his property tax is higher by about $700. Nawrocki indicated that last summer we had to place extra police on patrol in their area on Tyler because of tenant problems, which cost extra tax dollars. These taxes are lower than people with houses are paying. The costs of services are higher in your area. Azam stated he would give one unit free to the police to use, as he did at his property in Eagan. Rouleau indicated the difference in value questioned is due to one property being upgraded more than the other. Minhas stated this is a small business and the city must help them to not go under. Nawrocki asked what they did with past profits. Peterson stated that he felt the appraisal of the four-plexes was correct attend the County Board of Review meeting. Nawrocki agreed. aggrieved owners could Peterson agreed that business is down, but hopes it will turn around. We are bringing our city up to bring up, some of the rental units are bringing our city down. Azam agreed and stated he is at his 96 units every day. He goes from Eagan, to Richfield, to downtown and then to Columbia Heights daily. - 15- .........J ............Ull'l....1 1'1'1"1'..1.1..""'':' May I, 2006 Page 3 of 4 4628-4634 Tyler Motion by Nawrocki, second by Diehm, that no change in value be recommended for 4628 Tyler.

Stevenson referred to Page 11 of the handout showing the gross percentage of change was 7.94 percent and a net change of 6.19 percent. Nawrocki stated that the market value is not necessarily the value for tax purposes. Stevenson stated that in this case it is. Nawrocki stated that the estimated market value is the value placed by the assessors.

Motion by Nawrocki, second by Kelzenberg, to remove the 4927 University property from the previous motion and that no change in the value be recommended. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Stevenson stated that there are all property types, residential and apartments that make up the gross market value. Nawrocki that values were reduced some areas of Columbia Heights. Stevenson indicated that land in a small area is selling for less than the previous assessment. Nawrocki stated his value was reduced by $7,000. Diehm stated this is similar in other communities and patrons are concerned. Stevenson stated this does happen, but rarely. Columbia Heights property is not loosing value. Nawrocki asked for the assessment ratio on the City of Fridley portion of the Columbia Heights School District. Stevenson stated he did not have that information. Nawrocki stated the request is to see if the -16- ""'''J "-'~......."'.. '~"""'l.""J May I, 2006 Page 4 of 4 Columbia Heights area is being treated fairly by comparison. Nawrocki questioned COD. Stevenson stated it is the Coefficient of Dispersion, a tool of measuring how uniform the assessment is. Rouleau explained the difference between median and the ratio. Peterson stated that one councilmember requested to address a possible freeze on senior's property taxes. He referred to the "This Old House Program". Nawrocki stated that seniors can defer their taxes under certain circumstances. Peterson asked that this be discussed at a work session. He said that people pay their taxes and have nothing to reinvest in the building, which keeps it in ill repair. Maybe we could hold their taxes for a few years if they reinvest in the property. Peterson suggested we look at an incentive program to help our community get back its feet. Nawrocki asked for information upon which the property taxes are levied against the value of the base for '05 and '06. Rouleau stated that question would be turned over to someone else in the department.

All ayes, motion carried. LETTERS AND REQUESTS None at this time. OLD BUSINESS Recreation Director Keith Windschitl spoke about the solutions for the concerns brought forth during the Public Hearing on the Prestemon ballfield light project. Windschitl restated the need for another ballfield with lights. The Monday April 24th adult softball game is a perfect example of why the lights are needed. Currently games are scheduled for 6:15 and 7:15 at Prestemon Park, this past Monday was cloudy and the 7:15 games did not get past 5 innings before the game was called due to darkness and unsafe conditions. Prestemon Park is the best field the city operates and has safe fencing for participants. The Recreation Department needs to have the ability to grow our programs to meet the current and future needs of our growing community. We need to provide recreational opportunities that will attract and retain residents. Windschitl addressed the concerns brought forth by residents during the Public Hearing. The police department summarized all the police calls for Prestemon Park area during the last 3 years. Of the nine calls total, none of them were on nights that corresponded with softball league nights. Some of the incidents reported were similar to some of the residents concerns. During the softball managers meeting for the 2006 season these concerns were discussed with the teams in the league. Regarding parking, 39-12 street to the North there are no parking signs. Police will enforce parking regulations. WindschitI encouraged residents to call and report any violations. Softball managers were encouraged to tell their teams to use the parking lot. The softball teams were also informed that the portable restroom would be moved closer to the ballfield for their use. Windschitl recommended that no alcohol permits be given out this year at Prestemon Park on a trial basis. The Parks Department was contacted to better police the litter and -18- Park & Recreation Commission May 1, 2006 2 garbage around the park. The Recreation Director indicated that he wants to work with the residents around Prestemon Park; if there are police issues call 911, or if there are other concerns that the Recreation Department can address, please call him. During the public hearing a handout was distributed by a resident regarding the Zoning Ordinance 9.106C. This ordinance concerns home occupations and does not apply to public parking or traffic for park usage. On behalf of the Recreation Department Windschitl stated the importance of having the ability to better utilize the field throughout the year. Motion by Greenhalgh to move forward with the lights at Prestemon with the understanding that there is no alcohol for one year, also moving the portable restroom up closer to the field so that it is more accessible due to the fact that the City needs the parks and lights and that youth will be scheduled there this summer. Second by Foss, all ayes, motion carried. Question by resident Torkildson on what the one-year statement was about. Greenhalgh responded that it was for no alcohol permits at Prestemon Park for a one-year trial run to see ifthere are any problems. Windschitl also stated that this is a one-year trial run because we are working with the program to see if this year runs better as opposed to changing a park policy regarding one season. If this trial run works he would not be opposed to eliminating alcohol at Prestemon Park completely. Torkildson asked why other parks could not be lit instead of Prestemon. Windschitl responded that the only field long enough to play ih grade baseball and men's softball is Huset #5 that is lit and leagues are run there. Huset Park has games at 6:15, 7:15, 8:15 and 9:15. Prestemon Park has games at 6:15 and 7:15. This past Monday the 7:15 game was cut short due to dark field conditions. Torkildson asked ifthere was any truth in expanding and/or lighting fields at Huset Park in the next few years. Windschitl stated that there is a Huset Park master plan, but at this time the City Council has not acted on it. NEW BUSINESS None at this time. REPORTS RECREA nON DIRECTOR Windschitl suggested that the next month's meeting be held at a city park due to the wood floors being worked on in Murzyn Hall and the fumes are overpowering. Suggestions were made for LaBelle, Sullivan, Keyes and Ramsdell parks. The May 24th meeting will be at Ramsdell Park at 6:30. PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER Hansen reported on two requests regarding fencing at Ramsden Park from residents. One resident is willing to cover the costs of installing a privacy fence and the other resident would like the city to contribute to the cost. Hansen will put together cost estimates of replacing the fencing and how much a resident would need to contribute to upgrade a -19- Park & Recreation Commission May I, 2006 3 chain link fence to a privacy fence. This issue will be placed on the agenda for the May Park & Recreation Commission Meeting. COMMISSION MEMBERS No reports. Resident Joanne Student commented that even though she does not live adjacent to Prestemon Park she feels that in a city this size all of the residents share in the use and responsibility of the parks. She commended Recreation Director Windschitl for addressing all of the concerns brought forth during the public hearing and doing a wonderful job mediating the unhealthy dialogue by some residents during the public hearing. Student stated that Prestemon Park belongs to all residents and not just the people who live around the park. She feels that the Commission addressed every issue that the residents spoke about during the public hearing.

According to Section 9.106 (G)(5) of the Zoning Ordinance, seasonal agricultural sales are a conditional use in all zoning districts. The ordinance limits the number of days that seasonal agricultural sales may occur to 90 days. The applicant proposes to operate the garden center until July 15,2006 (see attached letter). The attached site plan illustrates the 20' x 60' greenhouse location, which will be located along Central Avenue in front of the Salvation Army store. The greenhouse structure will house a variety of plants and flowers for sale to the public. The applicant anticipates that there will be no more than 5-6 customers at any given time. The principal uses of the subject parcel are preexisting and legally nonconforming, and comply with zoning regulations. The greenhouse will displace approximately seven parking spaces. This will be the Swenson's first year of operating a temporary greenhouse at this location in Columbia Heights. Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on May 2, 2006. They voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit subject to the three conditions listed in the resolution. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-57, there being ample copies available to the public.
