Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. H. Authorization to obtain price quotes for printing and mailing the 2009-2010 City newsletters Nawrocki stated that the newsletter has gotten pretty exotic. We have a person prepare the copy and in a time of looking at expenses, we need to look at this and cut back. We print out many more than needed as 3,000 copies are handed out in the schools and to student homes in the Fridley area. We used to assemble them ourselves and took them to a printer. They did not have a multi-color print. We should just strive to get the information out to the people of the community. Fehst stated that we have received a lot of feedback on the quality of the newsletter. He suggested a motion to quit printing the newsletter and only place it on line. Nawrocki indicated many residents do not have Internet access. The budget article in the next newsletter is woefully inadequate and does not include the HRA levy and the County EDA/HRA levy. Keith Windschitl, Recreation Director, indicated the request is to seek bids on the current type newsletter, as this new style is more readable. We snail to all 55421 zip code and must give the mail carriers enough newsletters to fulfill their route. Nawrocki stated that you can limit areas and do not need to do the entire 55421 zip code. Windschitl indicated the survey completed by the schools indicated the newsletter to be very highly read by the community. Kelzenberg stated that the new format is a lot better than it used to be and is easy to read. The Fridley recipients are involved in our recreation programs. Nawrocki stated that Fridley is not helping to pay for the cost. Williams stated the request is for a price quote and asked that a "plain Jane" price be received also. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to authorize staff to obtain price quotes for printing and mailing the 2009-2010 "Heights Happenings" city newsletters. Motion to amend by Nawrocki to do the newsletter "in-house" as in the past. Williams asked to receive the amount of staff time and cost it would take to do this in-house. Nawrocki asked for the prices to mail without the Fridley and St. Anthony addresses. Peterson called for a second of the motion to amend. Motion died for lack of a second. Upon vote of the original motion: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. City Council Minutes Monday, October 13, 2008 Page 5 of 27 3 ayes - 1 nay. Motion carried. Nawrocki stated he would like to see the budget newsletter article be more comprehensive. The utility rate increase is not included. He stated he is unhappy that we are not having meetings on the budget until Wednesday, October 29, the same day as the Anoka County officials meeting. Establish City Park Rental Fees Nawrocki stated a strong disagreement with this. Most ball park usage does not have fees and they require clean up. People pay taxes to pay for the park. Fehst stated that anyone can use the shelters for free, but if you want to reserve the shelter you can pay $30 plus tax for exclusive use. Nawrocki questioned if the Huset Park volleyball area can be reserved. Windschitl indicated it can be reserved. Williams reiterated that anyone can use the park free, but if you wish to reserve the shelter the fee is fair. Windschitl indicated that the Park and Recreation Commission recommended the fees, which will be used for renovations, cleanup and maintenance of the facilities. Marsha Stroik is present from the Park and Recreation Commission. Nawrocki stated he has no problem with the non-resident fee. There has not been a reduction in the budget to compensate for additional revenues. Marsha Stroik stated that as commission members they take their position seriously. Looking at the budget, this is an effort to hold down some costs. We have all paid to use facilities in other communities and do not mind. We are trying to keep the city solvent and keep the parks nice. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to adopt the Park Rental Rates, as outlined by the Park and Recreation Commission at their meeting of June 25, 2008. Upon vote: Nawrocki, nay; Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Peterson, aye. 3ayes - 1 nay. Motion carried. J. Establish City Event WaPon Rental Fees Nawrocki stated that the VFW donated the money to buy the wagon and it provides a good service. Some equipment does need replacing, but we are using second hand items. When you tell people you will keep property taxes down and then put fees in place, you are just getting another type of tax. Kelzenberg questioned the number of rentals. Windschitl stated there are about 25 rentals a year. We deliver the trailer. It has tables, chairs, and some play equiprnert. The Park and Recreation Commission recommended the fee to offset maintenance, staff costs, and fuel. Kelzenberg stated he was amazed that this service was free, and is amazed the recommendation is only $25. Williams stated that the $25 does not cover our cost. Windschitl stated the trailer was purchased in 1999. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to adopt the Event Wagon Rental Rate, as outlined by the Park and. Recreation Commission at their meeting of June 25, 2008. Dorothy Penate, 4900 Jackson, stated she would gladly pay the cost of the event wagon and would gladly pay the park shelter fee as families are thrilled to use them. The charges are minimal. Upon vote: elzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 3ayes - 1 nay. Motion carried. o City Council Minutes Monday, October 13, 2008 Page 6 of 27 Peterson stated that we try to balance the budget the best we can. There is a lot of discussion at budget time and Park and Recreation Department gets picked on quite a bit. The commission is seven members of the community that try to find ways to reduce the budget. Peterson stated. that he would like to provide everything for nothing, but unfortunately all services come with a cost. Peterson stated that the Commission discussed this very seriously and he thanked them for the thankless job they do. N. Authorize staff to seek bids for a picnic shelter at Huset Park (west) Nawrocki again referred to cutting back on expenditures for the city. We have a shelter there now. The new shelter would be nice, but it is nice to live within the means of the taxpayers. Peterson stated that this expenditure was an approved item in the last budget. Williams stated we have done so many improvements to the park, it would be a crime not to have a nice shelter there. Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, stated this was budgeted for in 2007 and 2008. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this and felt it appropriate to recommend the expenditure. This could lessen the extensive use of Murzyn Hall and would be similar to the Sullivan shelter. Nawrocki stated that this would tell taxpayers it would cost them $85,000 to build the shelter and then there would be a fee to use it. Williams stated that residents pay only if they want to reserve a shelter. Hansen stated the funds would be from the Park Development Park Dedication Fee. Park dedication fees are for additional demands by a new development. Nawrocki referred to the cost of the Murzyn Hall upgrade. Williams stated that we are not increasing taxes because of the Murzyn Hali renovation. Energy consumption will reduce the cost, and it guaranteed. Nawrocki stated. that the renovation would not reduce staff time. Peterson stated that we have a staff person that currently spends the majority of his time maintaining the substandard building and this may allow him to maintain the other city buildings. Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Williams, to authorize and direct staff to seek bids for a new picnic shelter at Huset Park West. Terry Barber, 3040 2nd Street, asked if this is in the budget. Peterson stated it is in the current 2008 budget. She stated that we are in an economic crisis and people are losing their homes. These expenses could be put on hold. Penate stated that our taxes are one-half of what they are in Wisconsin because we receive the homestead break. Williams stated this money comes from park dedication fees when the development was built and the money was approved in 2007. Hansen stated the park improvement fund is restricted by State Statute and limited to park improvements, not ongoing maintenance. Williams referred to the Wargo donation of $50,000 for the maintenance of Wargo Park. Nawrocki referred to the difference of funds for the Huset shelter and Murzyn Hall. improvements. He again requested to use park improvement funds to pay for the Murzyn Hall improvements for the first couple years. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye;~lalawrocki, nay; Peterson, aye. 3ayes - 1 nay. City Council Minutes Monday, October 13, 2008 Page 7 of 27 Motion carried. R. Approve payment of the bills. Nawrocki stated one payment is to Auto World through a contract and he may want to abstain from this vote. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Kelzenberg, to approve the payment of the bills out of the proper fund as listed in the attached register covering Check Number 127459 through Check Number 127687 in the amount of $1,816,025.81. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, abstain; Nawrocki, aye; Peterson, aye. 3ayes - 1 abstention. Motion carried. Peterson asked Chief Gorman to make his announcement now. Fire Chief Gorman stated that Saturday was the Fire Department open house, with one of the biggest crowds ever in attendance. He thanked the businesses that donated to the event: Heights Bakery, Auto World, Coke, Old Dutch, Tasty Pizza, and the Fire Association. This would not be possible without them. Next year we may have our open house in our new building. Peterson asked that a letter be drafted to thank these groups for their donations. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. Adopt Resohrtion 208-228, being a Resolution to adopt an Assessment Roll and Levy a Special Assessment for Delinquent Charges Bill Elrite, Finance Director, indicated the assessments are for items such as weed removal, tree removal, and abatements. Fehst stated one assessment was for mercury removal, some are banks, and some are for grass cutting. We try to reach the banks or companies that own the property to clean up the property and if they do not, we do it. Seniors in the community that keep up their property complain to us about the unkempt and abandoned properties. Williams asked Hansen to again explain park dedication fees, and indicated that the Huset Park shelter is not a taxable item. Fehst stated that all first ring cities have park dedication fees larger than ours. Developers are required to contribute, as the site would put an additional burden on the system. Williams stated that his business had to donate land. Hansen stated it can be a cash or land donation. Nawrocki again stated that the $85,000 for the shelter could be the first year payment on the Murzyn Hall improvements. Williams asked if Murzyn Hall is part of the park system. Peterson stated it is under the Park Board and part of the park system. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution 2008-228 there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to adopt Resolution 2008-228, being a resolution to adopt a special assessment roll and levy a special assessment for delinquent charges.

Jeff Sargent, City Planner, stated this varian~ ~ request is from the Church of All Nations. The City Council Minutes Monday, October 13, 2008 Page 8 of 27 previous parking lot needed repair and replaced it with a concrete lot, including a landscaped area. They were too close to the road and required to correct the issue, therefore the request for a variance. Sargent showed the area involved by an overhead aerial picture. The congregation has grown and parking is much needed. The overall amount of covered surface is now less than previously covered. The variance would allow parking to the established area and would replace the landscaped area. Nawrocki complimented the people of the church for improving their parking situation. People of the congregation did a lot of the labor. Williams agreed they have done a nice job and thanked them. Peterson stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission agreed to the church's request. It is impressive how they have grown and what they have accomplished. The City Council has been invited to their service on January 4.

Peterson referred to External City Goal #3 to improve our housing stock. This is in our target area and the price is right. We have missed some homes that we should have obtained to improve our housing stock. We have funding and we will have a lot of opportunity in the future to buy 15 City Council Minutes Monday, October 13, 2008 Page 12 of 27 more.

POLICE APPROVA ;~ ITEM: Transfer of Funds from General Fund to Police BY: Scott Nadea BY: ,~ Dept Budget to Reimburse Overtime Fund DATE October 20, 2008 DATE: Re: DTF Overtime NO: BACKGROUND During the past year, the Police Department has had a member of our department in the Analca/Hennepin. DnagTask Force (DTF). The DTF is partially funded by a Federal Grant administered by the State of Minnesota. Part of this grant is for partial reimbursement of overtime incurred by the DTF officers. For the third quarter of 2008, we have received a check from Anoka County in the amount of $1,200 as partial reimburse~r~ent for the overtime of our DTF Of ycer. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION Since the overtime dollars used to participate in this program were initially paid out ofour 2008 Police Budget and because, according to the Finance Director, the funds received from the State to repay this expenditure are initially considered revenue, they must be placed in the General Fund. The Police Department is requesting that the funds received from Anoka County, $1,200, be moved back into our 2008 Police Department Budget line 1020 Overtime, Pram the General Fund. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to transfer $1,200, the amount of money received from Anoka County as partial reimbursement far overtime worked by our member in the Anoka/Hennepin Drug Task Force, for the third quarter of 2008 from the General Fund to the Police Department 200$ Budget line 1020, Overtime.

Currently the income limit for reduced senior citizen rates is set at $27,300. Attached is a resolution raising the income limit, beginning in 2009, to $29,000 for reduced senior citizen rates. For many years the formula the City has used for this limit is the maximum current year (2009) Social Security benefit for an individual at full retirement age, plus 4%, rounded to the next even $100 increment. This limit is then compared to applicants' prior year (2008) income. This formula is intended to allow for a modest amount of income beyond the maximum Social Security benefit possible. The maximum Social Security benefit for an individual at full retirement age for 2009 is $27,876. The City Council can set any formula or amount for income eligibility. If the City establishes the income eligibility guideline at a higher level, more people will qualify. As more people qualify for reduced rates, the rates for non-qualifying people will have to be raised to ensure adequate revenue in the utility fund. For many years, the number of seniors receiving the reduced rate has remained relatively constant at approximately 200 residents. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of resolution 2008-267, there being ample copies available to the general public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2008-267, being a resolution establishing eligibility standards for senior citizen utility rates, JPK 0810231 COUNCIL AttaCl1171ent COUNCIL ACTION: 55 RESOLUTION N0.2008 -267 ESTABLISH ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS FOR SENIOR CITIZEN UTILITY RATES WHEREAS, the City Council has previously established eligibility standards for senior citizen rates for refuse service, sewage disposal, storm water and water supply; and WHEREAS, It has been the City's practice to maintain uniform eligibility standards whenever possible: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Columbia Heights as follows: That anyone over 62 years of age with a maximum household income of $29,000 will be eligible for reduced rates. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the above eligibility standard is effective January 1, 2009. Passed this 27th day of October, 2008 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Mayor Gary L.

This property was subject to abatement actions in 2007 and past uses on the property indicate that contamination may be present. The mechanics of this grant is that the City applies for the grant, on behalf of the owner. The legal firm of Schleck and Associates, who will work with staff to complete the application, is doing the actual grant preparation. There is significant benefit to the City to sponsor this grant, as the completion and acceptance of a remedial action plan with the Pollution Control Agency allows for future grant applications for actual clean-up and /or clean-up by the property owner leading to redevelopment. The grant resolution, which states "committing local match" does not actually commit local dollars. This is a reimbursement grant, meaning that after the owner expends funds for investigation it will be the City applying for the reimbursement. The owner will receive only a 75% return of their request, as the other 25% is the match, albeit the funds do not come from the City. Staff will request a side letter from the property owner holding the City harmless from any costs associated with this grant. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2008-271 as written. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution. 2008-271, there being an ample amount of copies available to the public. Move to Adopt Resolution 2008-271, a Resolution Committing Local Match and Authorizing Contract Signature for Application of a Contamination Investigation and Remedial Action Pian (RAP) Grant for the property Located at 3930 University Avenue N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421.
