PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
CONSENT AGENDA
Nawrocki asked what the charitable $56,000 was for. Streetar stated it was for the
Helicor Anchors for the Sarna site, which comes from CDBG funds.
Nawrocki questioned under transfer out of budget, what is that for. Streetar stated it is
the EDA/HRA levy that comes into account 204 and is transferred into 201.
MOTION by Diehm, second by Kelzenberg, to Approve the consent agenda Items #3
and #4 as listed. All ayes. Motion Carried.
Nawrocki asked why we aren't reviewing the budget tonight. Streetar stated it will be
discussed at a joint City Council/EDA meeting on November 6th, like we did it last year.
BUSINESS ITEMS
Adopt Resolution 2006-08, Approvina Fundina for Rehab Incentive Proaram
Partenheimer stated she would be presenting this item and that Suzanne Snyder, from
GHMC was present to answer any questions. This program was designed to help
residents that do not require a loan, pay for improvements needed on their homes.
Rebates of 10, 12, or 15% residents can receive depending upon their median income
after the work has been preformed. The original funding was provided back in 2004,
which is now expended. Staff is asking for an additional $35,000 to fund the program.
Murzyn Jr. asked what is the median income for this area and stated he felt it was a
good program and it will improve our housing stock.
Snyder stated the median income would serve household incomes up to $88,000. The
program is designed to assist homeowners in maintaining and improving their homes by
providing a rebate to them after an improvement has been completed. Homeowners of
single-family or owner-occupied duplexes with a household income at 115% of the area
median income or less are eligible to apply. A rebate payment of 10%, 12% or 15%
may be granted, up to $3,000. Some of the examples of eligible improvements are
repairing or replacing dilapidated porches, roofs, retaining walls, siding, retaining walls,
siding, exterior steps or railings, and heating, plumbing or electrical systems.
Murzyn Jr. stated it would income a majority of our households in Columbia Heights,
which would improve our housing stock, which is good as our housing stock is so old,
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 24, 2006
Page 2 of4
we could use whatever incentives we can to improve our housing stock.
Nawrocki stated he didn't agree that the program should take all of the credit for
improving housing stock, the difference is whether or not some work gets done. Murzyn
Jr. stated he thinks it's the difference between some people doing it or not, it is the
difference that some people will do it a little bit nicer and looks at $774,000 of work
getting done and if he was paying for that and could get some money back, he would
be very happy.
Diehm asked if the money wasn't used up in a year, would it continue, until it's gone.
Snyder stated yes, it would.
Nawrocki asked where the funding would come from, do we have the money, and if we
authorize the expenditure it is suppose to come out the budget. Streetar stated it would
come from fund 226.
Nawrocki stated in the monthly financial reporl for September it doesn't list any funds
for this. Streetar stated we do fund accounting, we don't budget annually as we don't
run out annually, we come to the board to request funding when we need it.
Diehm stated this is a great program, which encourages residents to do improvements
to their home, rather than waiting.
Motion by Diehm, second by Peterson, to waive the reading of Resolution 2006-08,
there being an ample amount of copies available to the public. All ayes. Motion
Carried.
Nawrocki stated the residents on 38 or 3900 block of 2nd street, thought they were
going to get a $3,000 rebate for their assessments and they didn't get it, as we found
out there wasn't any money left, and the asked would there be funds available to them
if we approve this. Streetar stated there would be.
Motion by Diehm, second by Peterson, to Adopt Resolution 2006-08, a Resolution
approving funding for the Rehab Incentive Program to the Greater Metropolitan Housing
Corporation (GMHC) in the amount of $35,000 from fund number 226, Special Projects
Fund. All ayes. Motion Carried.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Activity Center
Parlenheimer stated last night Gerry Herringer updated the City Council on the
progress of the Activity Center meetings. Many members are excited about the
progress they are making. All of the information can be found on the website.
Murzyn Jr. asked where the school board with is. Parlenheimer stated they are
members of the activity center committee, attend meetings regularly and are active
parlicipants. Murzyn Jr. asked if the City and School Board are working on this as a
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 24, 2006
Page 3 of 4
joint project. Partenheimer stated that was true, city council appointed this committee.
Murzyn Jr. asked why Huset park isn't being considered, didn't understand why we
would want to take the NEI property and put a non-taxable entity there, after so many
years of no taxes coming in, he felt that by the wading pool would be an excellent place
to put it. Diehm stated they have three sites they are looking at.
Partenheimer stated the committee decided for a number of reasons, not to. They
didn't eliminate it completely, but felt they couldn't pass on so many sites to the
architect, it would be just too much to study. So for a number of reasons they choose
these three and iffor some reason it is determined that these sites wouldn't work they
would go back and look at it again. The committee didn't totally axe the site, but had to
prioritize their choices.
Nawrocki stated relative to the activity center, people forget about Murzyn Hall, which
has been our activity center since 1938, we should be talking about the need for
additional space, it originally started as a gym, and at the Monday meeting we were not
told that an architect was hired. Where are the bids for these services, he saw nothing
advertised or that went to City Council, which he takes strong exception to this, he
called the finance department to see if there was a signed contract, who talked to
someone in your department who said there wasn't one.
Streetar stated: 1) we do have a contract with the architect and if you come and see me
I could give you a copy; 2) it is the group of 36 members that you assigned to work on
this and come back with suggestions; 3) the process we are following is community
wide; 4) you have participated in almost all of the meetings, you have seen that the
group is very engaged, there are school board members on the committee as well as
staff members who attend the meeting; 5) the understanding with this process was
rather than ram rod it down the communities throat, lets ask the community what they
want and that is what the committee is presenting.
Nawrocki stated the point still is, in the end, to his knowledge the committee isn't aware
that an architect has been hired, and if you don't have a signed contract, your not hired,
and that he has attended these meetings. Partenheimer stated it was announced at the
last meeting. Streetar said Mr. Herringer the vice chair, said he felt it was an excellent
choice.
Nawrocki stated this architect was involved in the Andover project that cost over $18
million dollars, which was a plus, you know what the architectural fees are on an $18
million dollar project are, well over a million dollars, we should have had a competitive
bidding process and should come before the body to approve. Streetar stated we
interviewed 5 people, the cost for this feasibility study was between $9,500 and
$13,000, we picked the low bidder, we picked him because he has previous experience
that the committee has actually seen, competitive bidding doesn't apply to service
contracts, it never has, it applies to the construction of materials, our job in this process
that the council approved and endorsed is in the contract with JMS and Ehlers. If you
look at line 1.05 it talks about engaging an architect, which was not included in the
initial $35,000, but we entered into an agreement for $9, 500, which comes under the
Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes
October 24, 2006
Page 4 of 4
City Managers limit. Murzyn Jr. stated that is just a feasibility study. Streetar stated
yes, it doesn't imply in any way, shape or form that if the community center is built that
these are the people that would be doing the architecture. The council gets to choose,
not staff. He would encourage the council to spend a lot of time talking to architects.
Nawrocki stated he has probably been involved in more projects, involving more
architects and engineers than anybody in this room. Streetar, Fehst, Peterson stated
they didn't think so. Nawrocki stated the years he was on the MTC commission,
hundreds of millions of dollars were spent in building projects, and that he went through
engineering and architectural contracts. Fehst asked if he got bids on the financial
consultant when he was the mayor, when Norb Schroeder was our financial consultant,
no you didn't.
Murzyn Jr. stated these are all interesting things that they should talk about at a council,
not the EDA.
Other Business
Nawrocki stated he wanted to know about the clean up on the property. Murzyn Jr.
stated that was all staff had prepared for tonight. Nawrocki stated you had some
comments on the Sarna property, soil correction, tell me about it. Streetar stated we
have gone through that many times. Nawrocki stated okay refresh my memory, call me
a dumby, I don't care what you call me, just tell me about the soil correction in this
report. Streetar stated we put down helicor anchors because there were poor soils and
contamination. Helicor anchors are holes in the ground, filled with rock, on which the
slab goes and paid for by CDBG. Nawrocki asked how much money. Streetar stated
about $56,000.

appU11enances and every part and parcel thereof, in good repair and condition.

shall relieve the Redeveloper of the obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement or of
the Redevelopment Plan, applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, mles and
regulations, or to construct the Minimum Improvements in accordance therewith. No approval
by the Authority Representative shall constitute a waiver of an Event of Default. If approval of
the Constmction Plans is requested by the Redeveloper in writing at the time of submission, such
Constmction Plans shall be deemed approved U11less rejected in writing by the Authority
Representative, in whole or in pat1. Such rejections shall set fOl1h in detail the reasons therefore,

Representative rejects any Construction Plans in whole or in part, the Redeveloper shall submit
new or conected Constmction Plans within 15 days after written notification to the Redeveloper

thereto.
10
(b) If the Redeveloper desires to make any material change in the Construction Plans
after their approval by the Authority, the Redeveloper shall submit the proposed change to the
Authority for its approval. If the Construction Plans, as modified by the proposed change,
conform to the requirements of Section 4.2 of this Agreement with respect to such previously
approved Construction Plans, the Authority shall approve the proposed change and notify the
Redeveloper in writing of its approval. Such change in the Construction Plans shall, in any
event, be deemed approved by the Authority unless rejected, in whole or in part, by written
notice by the Authority to the Redeveloper, setting forth in detail the reasons therefor. Such
rejection shall be made within 15 days after receipt of the notice of such change. The
Authority's approval of any such change in the Construction Plans will not be unreasonably
withheld.

Redeveloper on the Redevelopment Property shall be in substantial conformity with the
Construction Plans as submitted by the Redeveloper and approved by the Authority and the City.
If the Redeveloper is making substantial progress with respect to the redevelopment project, and
is unable to meet one or more of the above-referenced deadlines, the Authority and the
Redeveloper shall negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period to extend the time in which
necessary action(s) must be taken or occur, the lapse of which time would otherwise constitute a
default under this Agreement.
(b) The Redeveloper agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, and every successor in
interest to the Redevelopment Property, or any part thereof, that the Redeveloper, and such
successors and assigns, shall promptly begin and diligently prosecute to completion the

Improvements thereon, and that such construction shall in any event be commenced and
completed subject to Unavoidable Delay within the period specified in this Section 4.3 of this
Agreement. Subsequent to conveyance of the Redevelopment Propelty, or any part thereof, to
the Redeveloper, and until construction of the Minimum Improvements has been completed, the

by the Authority, as to the actual progress of the Redeveloper with respect to such construction.
Section 4.4. Celtificate of Completion. (a) Promptly after substantial completion of the
Minimum Improvements in accordance with those provisions of the Agreement relating solely to
the obligations of the Redeveloper to construct the Minimum Improvements (including the dates
for completion thereof), the Authority will furnish the relevant Redeveloper with a Certificate of
Completion in substantially the form attached as Schedule C. Such certification by the Authority
shall be a conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and
covenants in the Agreement with respect to the obligations of the Redeveloper, and its successors
and assigns, to construct the relevant component of the Minimum Improvements and the dates
for the completion thereof. Such certification and such determination shall not constitute
evidence of compliance with or satisfaction of any obligation of the Redeveloper to any Holder
11
of a Mortgage, or any insurer of a Mortgage, securing money loaned to finance the Minimum
Improvements, or any part thereof.
(b) The Certificate of Completion provided for in this Section 4.4 of this Agreement
shall be in such form as will enable it to be recorded in the proper office for the recordation of
deeds and other instruments pertaining to the Redevelopment Property. If the Authority shall
refuse or fail to provide any certification in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.4 of
this Agreement, the Authority shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by the
Redeveloper, provide the Redeveloper with a written statement, indicating in adequate detail in
what respects the Redeveloper has failed to complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance
with the provisions ofthe Agreement, or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts it will
be necessary, in the opinion of the Authority, for the Redeveloper to take or perform in order to
obtain such certification.

substantially completed when the Redeveloper has received a certificate of occupancy from the

(i) Builder's risk insurance, written on the so-called "Builder's Risk
Completed Value Basis," in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the
insurable value of the Minimum Improvements at the date of completion, and with
coverage available in non-reporting form on the so-called "all risk" form of policy. The
interest of the Authority shall be protected in accordance with a clause in form and
content satisfactory to the Authority;
(ii) Comprehensive general liability insurance (including operations,
contingent liability, operations of subcontractors, completed operations and contractual
liability insurance) together with an Owner's Contractor's Policy with limits against
bodily injury and property damage of not less than $1,000,000 for each occurrence (to
accomplish the above-required limits, an umbrella excess liability policy may be used);

bodily injury or death of any person or property damage arising out of the ownership,
maintenance or use of any motor vehicle of not less than $1,000,000; and
(iv) Workers' compensation insurance, with statutory coverage.
(b) All insurance required in Article V of this Agreement shall be taken out and
maintained in responsible insurance companies selected by the Redeveloper which are
authorized under the laws of the State to assume the risks covered thereby, and shall name the
Authority, the City and any Mortgagee as an additional named insured thereunder. Upon
request, the Redeveloper will deposit annually with the Authority policies evidencing all such
insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders of the respective insurers stating that such

each policy shall contain a provision that the insurer shall not cancel nor modify it in such a way
as to reduce the coverage provided below the amounts required herein without giving written
notice to the Redeveloper and the Authority at least thirty (30) days before the cancellation or
modification becomes effective. In lieu of separate policies, the Redeveloper may maintain a
single policy, blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, having the coverage
required herein, in which event the Redeveloper shall deposit with the Authority a certificate or
celiificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of coverage in force upon the Minimum
Improvements.
13
(c) The Redeveloper agrees to notify the Authority immediately in the case of
damage exceeding $100,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any
portion thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. In such event the Redeveloper will
forthwith repair, reconstruct and restore the Minimum Improvements to substantially the same or
an improved condition or value as it existed prior to the event causing such damage and, to the
extent necessary to accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restoration, the Redeveloper will
apply the net proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received by the Redeveloper to
the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
The Redeveloper shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the
Minimum Improvements, whether or not the net proceeds of insurance received by the
Redeveloper for such purposes are sufficient to pay for the same. Any net proceeds remaining
after completion of such repairs, construction and restoration shall be the property of the
Redeveloper.
(d) The Redeveloper and the Authority agree that all of the insurance provisions set
fOlth in this Article V shall terminate on the Termination Date.
Section 5.2. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this

of insurance shall, in all respects, be subject and subordinate to the rights of any lender under a
Mortgage approved pursuant to Article VII ofthis Agreement.
Section 5.3. Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties
acknowledge and agree that:
(a) Upon transfer of the Redevelopment Propelty or portion thereof to another person
or entity, the Redeveloper will remain obligated under Section 5.1 hereof relating to such portion

ARTICLE VI
Taxes
Section 6.1. Right to Collect Delinquent Taxes. The Redeveloper acknowledges that the
Authority is providing financial assistance in furtherance of the redevelopment described in this
Agreement, and that part of the consideration for such assistance is the improvement of tax base
in the City. To that end, the Redeveloper agrees for itself, its successors and assigns, in addition
to the obligation pursuant to statute to pay real estate taxes, that it is also obligated by reason of
this Agreement to pay before delinquency all real estate taxes assessed against the
Redevelopment Property and the Minimum Improvements. The Redeveloper acknowledges that
this obligation creates a contractual right prior to the Termination Date to sue the Redeveloper or
its successors and assigns to collect delinquent real estate taxes and any penalty or interest
thereon and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the county auditor. In any such suit, the
Authority shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees.
Section 6.2. Review of Taxes. The Redeveloper agrees that prior to the Termination
Date, it will not cause a reduction in the real property taxes paid in respect of the Redevelopment
Property through: (A) willful destruction of the Redevelopment Property or any part thereof; or
(B) willful refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to Section 5.1 of this
Agreement. The Redeveloper also agrees that it will not, prior to the Termination Date, apply
for a deferral of property tax on the Redevelopment Property pursuant to any law, or transfer or
permit transfer of the Redevelopment Pi'operty to any entity whose ownership or operation of the
property would result in the Redevelopment Property being exempt from real estate taxes under
State law (other than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the City or Authority in
accordance with this Agreement).
15
ARTICLE VII
Financin2
Section 7.1. Mortgage Financing. (a) Before the Authority commences any Demolition
Work, the Redeveloper shall submit to the City evidence of one or more commitments for
financing which, together with committed equity for such construction, is sufficient for payment
of the Construction Costs for the Minimum Improvements. Such commitments may be submitted
as ShOlt term financing, long term mOltgage financing, a bridge loan with a long term take-out
financing commitment, or any combination of the foregoing.
(b) If the financing is sufficiently committed and adequate in amount to pay the costs
specified in paragraph (a) then the Authority staff shall notify the Redeveloper in writing of its
approval. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and either approval or rejection
shall be given within ten (10) days from the date when the Authority is provided the evidence of
financing. A failure by the Authority staff to respond to such evidence of financing shall be
deemed to constitute an approval hereunder. If the Authority staff rejects the evidence of
financing as inadequate, it shall do so in writing specifying the basis for the rejection. In any
event the Redeveloper shall submit adequate evidence of financing within ten (10) days after
such rejection.
(c) In the event that there occurs a default under any Mortgage authorized pursuant to
Section 7.1 of this Agreement, the Redeveloper shall cause the Authority to receive copies of any
notice of default received by the Redeveloper from the holder of such Mortgage. Thereafter, the
Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default on behalf of the
Redeveloper within such cure periods as are available to the Redeveloper under the MOltgage
documents. In the event there is an event of default under this Agreement, the Authority will
transmit to the Holder of any MOltgage a copy of any notice of default given by the Authority
pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement.

RE: Subordination Agreement among Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority, City of
Columbia Heights, Parkview Homes, LLC, and M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank ("Subordination
Agreement")
To Whom it May Concern:
The Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") and the City of Columbia
entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with Huset Park Development Corporation (the
"Redeveloper") dated as of October 24, 2004 (the "Contract"), providing for certain financial assistance
in connection with development of certain property in the City of St. Columbia Heights. The
Redeveloper has assigned certain rights under the Contract to Parlcview Homes, LLC (the "Borrower").
I understand that M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank (the "Lender") intends to make a loan to the BOlTower in
order to finance construction of a portion of the development contemplated in the Contract. In
connection with the Lender's loan, the Lender has requested that the EDA and City subordinate their
interest in the Contract as described in the above-referenced Subordination Agreement. A form of the
Subordination Agreement is attached to this letter.
As the EDA's legal counsel, I have reviewed the Subordination Agreement and have determined that the
agreement is acceptable and is substantially similar to subordination agreements approved by the EDA
in connection with previous development contracts. I will recommend that Randy Schumacher, the
EDA staff contact for this development, submit the Subordination Agreement to the EDA and City for
consideration at their next regular meetings, and will recommend approval as consistent with the EDA's
and City's interests and past practices.
If you have fulihcr questions about this matter, please contact me.

TO: EDA
FROM: Kirsten Partenheimer, Community Development Specialist
DATE: November 22,2006
SUBJECT: November Update of Community Development Activity
The following is an update of Community Development activity through mid November of 2006. If you
have any comments or questions you may contact Bob Streetar at 763-706-3672.
ACTIVITY CENTER
The Activity Center Advisory Committee (ACAC) met on September 13, 2006 to prioritize a list of
amenities and potential sites to be included for further study, The sites include the former N,E.1. site;
along Central Avenue in the Heritage Heights neighborhood; and adjacent to the high school. This
information was passed on to an architectural team from BKV Group, who came back to the ACAC on
November 9 with a draft feasibility report. Committee members had the opportunity to meet the team
and review the initial site diagrams, space needs programs and capital cost analysis, It was clearly
stressed at the meeting that the options presented are not final building programs or proposed
alternatives, but, rather a set of information to help the ACAC prepare alternatives to present to the
pubiic at the second open house.
The ACAC will meet with the architects again in early December to continue reviewing the draft
feasibility report and preparing alternatives.
Gerry Herringer, ACAC vice-chair, presented an update to the City Council at a work session on
October 23, 2006. The committee will update the Council again before the second open house,
Information from all meetings will be posted on the City's website at: http://www.ci.columbia-
heights.mn,us/departments/CommCenter,asp. Or, from the main page, click on "departments,"
"Community development" and then "Activity Center" under "Redevelopment Updates."
SARNA'S
Sarna's Bar and Grill is on construction schedule and is expected to open for business in February,
GRAND CENTRAL LOFTS
On July 10, the EDA directed staff to apply for Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA)
funding for a parking ramp to serve 47,698 feet of proposed commercial development. The application
received a favorable review and the City may know as early as mid December whether it has received
the grant. Please see attached Star Tribune article,
PARKVIEW
VEIT Companies received the bid for $914,817 for the demolition of the Grief, Steel Tech and
associated outbuildings in Phase III of the industrial park. Abatement of asbestos and other
contaminants begins the week of Thanksgiving. The building demolition is scheduled to begin the first
week of December.
Schafer Richardson will meet with staff in January for preliminary plat discussion as it relates to the
type of residential and commercial it proposes to build on the site.
37TH & STINSON
On November 13, 2006, the City Council approved the comprehensive plan amendment, a rezoning
and the preliminary plat for the 3yth & Stinson project. Comforts of Home, a builder of senior
communities, proposes to build a 58-unit assisted living facility on 2.47 acres on the northern section of
the property and a commercial pad on the other acre.
The project still needs approval of the site plan, conditional use permit and final plat, in addition to a
second reading of rezoning.
38TH & CENTRAL
As Commissioners may recall in late spring the EDA entered into an preliminary development
agreement with Sherman Associates to prepare a redevelopment plan for the area that includes the
Burger King, Mady's Bowl and the Columbia Heights Rental property. In addition Prosource
Technologies has completed the draft phase two environmental assessment. The initial cost for clean
up is estimated to be $2.8+ million dollars. This high cost is attributable to the fact that there were
many roof shingles dumped in this area in the past and the asbestos in the shingles increases the cost.
Staff is working to with Sherman and Associates to present a plan with some options for the EDA
meeting in January.
