This contract was authorized by staff and did not come to Council If it had, and Councilmember Williams had abstained, he would have no problem with this. Since it was approved administratively, there should be a specific vote to give Williams the opportunity to abstain.

The key element of the Plan is the use of unobligated tax increment from the original district (condominium project north of 47`") as a revenue source for redevelopment in the Sheffield neighborhood and in turn, capitalized revenue stream through a bond sale. The plan provides for a wide range of redevelopment work that is including, but not limited to, acquisition, demolition, rehabilitation, utility and street work etc. Additionally the City was awarded a CDBG grant in the amount of $170,000 for demolition of properties located in the Sheffield neighborhood. To date the City has purchased 4 parcels within the Sheffield neighborhood and have demolished all buildings associated with the parcels and are in the process of purchasing a four-plex on Polk Street that will be demolished in the Spring. In addition to making a physical environmental change to this neighborhood; the Police Department continues to have success with holding landlords and residents in the area accountable and will continue these efforts. As part of the program mentioned above staff have negotiated the purchase of 4606 Polk Street for $109,900 plus closing costs. The duplex was built in ]960; the duplex is 2,128 square feet and the subject lot is 6,400 square feet. What is critical about this purchase is that it meets the intent of the Sheffield Neighborhood Acquisition program by reducing density and obsolete housing. The affect of this program appears to be beneficial especially from. the fact that we have been able to concentrate the vast majority of our purchases in one block. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the purchase of 4606 Polk Street. RECOMMENDED MOTION: MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-198, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2009- 198, approving the acquisition ofproperty located at 4606 Polk Street Northeast; furthermore to authorize the City Manager and Mayor to enter into an agreement for the same.

ITEM: ACCEPTANCE OF A MNDNR COMMUMTY BY: K. Hansen BY: t~-'`%~~ %~ FOREST BONDING GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF DATE: 12/3/09 DATE: $22,500. Background: The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) recently made available a grant program focusing on urban tree management. The program was established focusing on the removal, disposal and replacement of dead or dying shade trees located on public property that are lost to forest pests or disease. Analysis /Conclusions: Public Works staff applied for the grant when it first became available early in 2009. Staff was notified of an award in March of 2009 (see attached letter) and that the grant document and details would follow. The original award was for $25,000 over atwo-year period. Due to the number of grant requests and available bond proceeds, the grant award was reduced. by 10% to $22,500. The use of the funds is specific in that they must be used on public property. The grant is a reimbursement type -the City must spend the dollars and. then request reimbursement. Staff is proposing to use the grant funds to support tree management on public lands in the City. Our disease and dead tree removal program varies from year to year, and the impact of the Emerald Ash Borer is unknoM during when grant fimds are available. Staff recommends acceptance of the grant from the MNDNR in the amount of $22,500, fora 2-year period. MOTION: Mope to accept a 2009 Minnesota Community Forest Bonding C--rant in the amount of $22,500 for the identification, removal and disposal of diseased or dead trees on public property, and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

Introduction: The City of Columbia Heights believes that it is in the best interest of the residents for the City to assume basic responsibility for control of snow and ice on city streets. Reasonable ice and snow control is necessary for routine travel and emergency services. The City strives to provide such control in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget, personnel and environmental concerns. The City will use city employees, equipment and /or private contractors to provide this service. This policy does not relieve the operator of private vehicles, pedestrians, property owners, residents and all others that may be using public streets, of their responsibility to act in a reasonable, prudent and cautious manner, given the prevailing street conditions. 1. When will city start snow and ice control operations? The Director of Public Works or assigned representative will decide when to begin snow or ice control operations. The criteria for that decision are: A. Snow accumulation of three (3) inches or more; B. Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel; C. Icy conditions which seriously affect travel; D. Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets; E. Weather forecast, temperature, type of snow, duration and intensity of storm The Police Department assists Public Works Maintenance in monitoring street conditions and notifies Public Works Maintenance personnel of snow and ice conditions needing immediate attention. Maintenance personnel are notitred in accordance with the Public Works Department policy for emergency calls. Snow and ice control operations are expensive and involve the use of limited personnel and equipment. Consequently city wide snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for snowfall accumulations of less than three (3) inches. Plowing during the parking ban has proven to be the most efficient. 2. How snow will be plowed? Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize traffic obstructions. The center of the roadway will be plowed first. The snow shall then be pushed from centerline to curb on two-way streets. On one-way streets or where there is a center boulevard, snow may be pushed in either direction. Discharge shall go onto the boulevard area. Generally, operations shall continue until all roads are passable. There may be instances when this is not possible depending on storm conditions and other circumstances. ~o 3. Priorities and schedule of streets plowing and snow removal. The city has classified city streets based on the street function, traffic volume and importance to the welfare of the community. Some priorities are performed simultaneously depending on conditions and existing situations. Priority #1 -Main thoroughfares, low volume residential and commercial streets, Public Safety building parking lots and accesses, alleys, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, pump and lift station accesses. Priority #2 -Municipal building parking lots and sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, designated sidewalk routes. Priority #3 - (Business District, parking lots, widening streets, etc.) Snow removal as needed. Priority #4 -Central Avenue (streetscape district only - 37`h to 43`d Avenues). Snow removal around bus benches as needed Priority #5 -Park pathways, skating rinks and hockey rinks Priority #6 -Industrial and school hydrants -snow removal as needed Priority #7 -Residential hydrants -snow removal as needed -Assist Adopt-a- Hydrant Program. Priority #8 - Murzyn Hall, City Hall, Library. Check for ice dams and plugged drains. Remove ice dams and open drains as needed. During significant and severe storms, the city must be prepared to move personnel an equipment to maintain priority routes first. In fulfilling the need to have all priority Streets safe and passable, when resources are lzm.ted, plowing of all other streets may be stopped at any time so resources can be shifted to priority routes. Unforeseeable circumstances may cause delays in completing assigned plow routes. Such circumstances may include weather conditions that endanger the safety of snowplow operators and/or safe and effective operation of equipment, commuter traffic, disabled vehicles, poor visibility conditions, parked cars along streets, assistance to emergency response vehicles, equipment breakdown, and personnel shortages. 4. Snow Removal The Director of Public Works or assigned representative will determine if and when snow will be removed from the area by truck. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no room on the boulevard. for snow storage and in areas where 71 accumulated piles of snow create a hazardous condition. Snow removal operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations have been completed. Snow removal operations may also be delayed depending on weather conditions, personnel and budget availability. The snow will be removed and hauled to a snow storage area. The snow storage area will be located so as to minimize environmental problems. 5. Work schedule for snowplow operators. Snow plow operators will be expected to work eight-hour shifts. In severe snow emergencies, operators sometimes have to work in excess of eight -hour shifts. Safety of the plow operators and the public is important. Therefore, if additional qualified snow plow operators are not available snow plowing/removal operations may be terminated after 12 hours to allow personnel adequate time for rest. Any decision to suspend operations shall be made by the Director of Public Works and shall be based on the conditions of the storm. 6. Traffic Regulations The city recognizes that snowplow operators are exempt from traffic regulations set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 1.69 while actually engaged in work on streets, except for regulations related to driving while impaired and the safety of school children. Pursuant to this authority, snowplow operator engaged in snow removal or ice control on city streets have discretion to disregard traffic laws set forth in Chapter 169, except for laws relating to impaired driving and school children safety, when in their judgment, it is safe to disregard such laws. The privileges granted herein to operators of snow removal and ice control vehicles shall apply only if the vehicle is equipped with one lighted lamp displaying a flashing, oscillating, or rotating amber light placed in such a position on the vehicle as to be visible throughout an arc of 360 degrees. 7. Wea±her Conditions Snow and ice control operations will be conducted only when weather conditions do not endanger the safety of the snowplow operators and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice control operations include but are not limited to: severe cold, significant winds, and limited visibility. S. Use of Sand, Salt, and other Chemicals The city will use sand, salt, and other chemicals when there area hazardous ice or slippery conditions. The city is concerned about the effect of such chemicals on the environment and will limit its use for that reason. 72 9. Sidewalks The city will maintain some of the sidewalks in the city. The list of those sidewalks is attached. It is the responsibility of the resident and/or property owner to remove all accumulated snow from all other sidewalks along public streets adjoining their property. This includes any snow plowed from public streets onto the sidewalk. 10. Mailboxes Coming into contact with a mailbox is a common obstacle snowplow operators face during storm activities. The city will conduct a review of each mailbox incident to determine whether the city will replace or provide reimbursement for the mailbox. Only mailboxes actually hit by a snowplow will be the responsibility of the city. The city will not be responsible for damage to mailboxes or support posts caused by snow or ice coming into contact the mailbox. At the mailbox owner's request, the city will replace the mailbox with a standard size, non-decorative metal mailbox and replace the support post as necessary with a 4"x 4", decay resistant wood support post, both installed by the city. Alternatively, the city will reimburse the mailbox owner $75.00 far the replacement of the mailbox and post by others. 11. Landscape The city will not repair,!replace sod damaged due to the application of sand, salt or other deicing chemicals. The city will repair sod da!naged by snow plow during snow removal operations with black dirt and grass seed. Property owners who install decorative materials in the right-of--way do so at their own risk. Damage within the public right-of-ways is the responsibility of the property owner, including but not limited to: trees, shrubs, bushes, landscape mater!als, decorat!ve rock, reta!ning walls, fences and !rr!gat!on systems. 12. Deviation From Policy The Director of Public works or appointed representative may deviate fro!n this policy when in his or her judgment it is in the best interest of the city or is necessary because of budget needs or other circumstances. Changes in priorities (lasting more the 4 hours) will be documented as to what caused such actions, why the change was necessary, and for how long the change is to be in effect. Those city employees and/or contractors affected will be notified i!nmediately by radio or cell phone of such changes with all communications logged. Information logged will include the time and date of the communication, name of the employee contacted, and how they were contacted. Any changes of priorities lasting more that 24 hours should be made in a written record anal. the public should be informed of such changes through normal methods used by the city for emergency notifications. 73 13. Complaint Procedures Complaints will be recorded on telephone logs. Calls requiring service will be transferred to a work request and forwarded to the appropriate supervisor for scheduling. Emergency complaints will be handled. in an expeditious manner as resources are available. 14. Review and Modification of Policy The Director of Public Works or appointed representative shall keep on file all comments and complaints received regarding this policy. The policy will be reviewed periodically. Any review will consider comments and complaints since the last review and any other factors affecting the policy or its implementation. 74 PLOWING EMERGENCY - PERSOJ\fNEL & EQUIPMENT A, Assignments by department l .

ICE CONTROL When there is any accumulation of snow or ice, it normally is necessary to salt and/or sand streets. This function begins when reports from the police indicate that slippery conditions exist. On weekends and evenings the Police or County Central Dispatcher calls the duty person. The duty person organizes the ice control operation based. on the Superintendent's standing instructions. Main thoroughfares, emergency routes, controlled intersections, and hills are given priority. Police reports of slippery conditions are also considered. Application is limited on low volume streets and cul-de-sacs. Salt sand will be furnished for residents in the designated area outside the Recycling Center (3801 Madison Street}. SNOW REMOVAL Certain actions and areas were designated by the City Council on January 11, 1982, and amended. from time to time, far services. These services are shown on the attached drawing #1. They specifically point out services other than normal street plowing and ice control that the City may perform depending upon the amount of snow accumulation. When accumulated piles of snow in the business areas, around schools, churches and public buildings indicate hazardous conditions, the Street Dept. begins loading and hauling to storage areas. Snow is to be hauled for storage to 1 } l Inset Park East Quincy parking lot, (Note: restricted to daytime use) and 2) Huset Park East Jefferson lot. 13 81 Snow Removal at Library A. Parking Lot: The Library parking lot will be cleared in accordance with the priorities established in this policy. The lot will be cleared in conjunction with the other municipal lots after snow plowing has been completed on the streets, Police and Fire areas and the pump and lift station accesses. B. Sidewalks: During the workweek, two members of the Sewer & Water Department will remove snow and ice from the sidewalks, stairwells and entrances to the Library before the Library opens and, if necessary, in the afternoon.

POLICE APPROV L• , ITEM: School Liaisan Officer Contract - NE Metro BY: Scott Nadea BY: NO. School District 9I6 {ALC} DATE December 8, 009 DATE: BACKGROUND: Several months ago, I was approached by Jonas Beugen, the Director of the Metro Heights Academy at 3989 Central Avenue NE. This school is operated by Northeast Metro School District 91.6, and is commonly referred to as the ALC. Mr. Beugen was requesting that the Police Department consider assigning a Schoal Liaison Officer at their location, and offered to assist in funding that officer. After negotiating with Mr. Beugen on this topic, we have come up with amulti-year agreement that would provide a Liaisan Officer in exchange for a payment of $82,000 for 2010, $86,100 in 2011, $90,405 in 2012 and $94,925 in 2013. This takes into consideration a 5% increase for each year after 2010. The School Board of the Northeast Metro School District 916 approved this contract at its meeting of December 1. As the City Council is aware, the School Liaison program has been very successful at the high school and, mare recently, at the middle Schoal in District 13. Mr. Beugen feels this program will be beneficial at the Metro Heights Academy as well. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION: The Police Department is requesting that the City Council approve the 3oint Powers Agreement with District 9I6 to institute a School Liaison Officer program at their location. If approved, their funding of this officer would enable the Police Department to add an additional officer to its roster, thus increasing our ability to work proactively on items relating to youth in the community, with almost all of the cast l~.?e.tiig pazd for by District 916. IiECOMMENDEIa MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and Police Chief to enter into a contract with Northeast Metro School District 916 for a School Liaison Officer far the Metro Heights Academy (commonly referred to as the ALC) at 3989 Central Avenue NE from. January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2fli 3.

After the Clty of Columbia Heights approves tide Agreerr'fent, please sign bath copses and return one copy to our office. Thanks! Sincerely, Linda J. ~ahradka Executive Assistant Enclosure 93 restructuring is taking place based on the current daily rate of pay, rather than the daily rate of pay that would be paid at time of retirement. It should be noted, however, that not all of the leave categories can be fully eliminated in a "pay as you go" system because of the need to reserve sick days to cover the elimination period if the Superintendent would need to access long term disability insurance. The Superintendent has been cooperative in assisting the Board to accomplish this fiscal goal. In keeping with the freeze agreed to earlier, this restructuring does not include a percent increase above the current contract obligations. The Executive Committee recommends that the School Board ratify and approve the revised 2009-2012 contract with Superintendent Connie Hayes, consistent with the recommendations of the School Board Personnel Committee and terms and conditions as negotiated.

MEETING OF: DECEMBER 14, 2009 AGENDA SECTION: ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER NO: FINANCE APPROVAL ITEM: BEING A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY: BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2010, SETTING THE CITY GENERAL LEVY AND BOND LEVY DATE: DECEMBER 9, 2009 NO: In past years the City of Columbia Heights was required to hold a separate Truth in Taxation budget hearing on the first Monday in December. State statues were changed and no longer require a separate hearing date. The attached resolution is a result of the information provided. in the City Manager's proposed budget as discussed with the City Council at various City Council. meetings and wark sessions. Also attached is a list of the proposed changes to the budget. This list is based on City Council discussions at work sessions and City Council meetings. The attached resolution also includes a paragraph cancelling the City's debt levy for the Public Improvement bonds, as special assessment collections are adequate to cover this debt service payment. The final paragraph of the resolution reaffirms the City's levy for the infrastructure bonds, the levy for the public safety building anal the Murzyn Hall energy improvement bonds. The levy far these bonds was approved by the City Council as part of the bonding resolution and certified to the county at the time of the bond sale. This is included here just to provide complete information regarding the City levy. One of the key items in 2009 was the development of a four-year budget plan. ]n the first year of the plan, 2010, the city has a 10.88% increase in the levy for general operations. The amount of the levy increase decreases each year. In 2013 the plan has a 4.98% increase and does not use any LGA in the general operating budget. At that point, if the city does receive any LGA, it can be utilized for capital building needs or as a tax reduction to the city's debt levy. The next important factor in the plan is that expenses for 2010 are frozen at the 2008 spending level. The 2008 budget had only increased by 3% over the 2003 level. The plan also limits inflation for 2011 to 1% and a 2% increase for 2012 and 2013. RECOMMENDED MOT10N: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-197 there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2009-197 being a resolution adopting a budget for 2010, setting the City General Levy at $8,052,142, and reaffirming the previously approved bond levies of $1,023,283.

Included in this was historic information regarding the budget, Local government aid (LGA), levies, and past property tax increases. It should first be noted that this presentation only dealt with the city property tax levy that appears on the property tax statements as the city levy. The presentation did not include the school levy, the county levy, the city HRA levy or the county HRA levy for the city. The reason for concentrating on the city portion of the levy is that this is the primary funding for the General and. Library funds. The HRA levies are separate levies used primarily for redevelopment within the city. As these are separate levies for a specific purpose they can be dealt with more efficiently at another time. Page 1 of the document shayyw//s}} the General and Library fund budgets for 2003 with a comparison to 2vv8 aiad a propo,~ed 2ifi ii au'ndiifg level. it also sho`v`v's ties aiiaouiat of personnel expense, along with the percent of the budget that makes up personnel. The largest departments, such as Police and Fire, have 91 % and 90% of their budget in personnel casts. Subseq_uently_ it is very difficult to reduce budgets without reducing personnel and services provided. The reason for using the 2003 adopted budget as a basis is that it is our highest-level budget and it is the year that the state began to significantly reduce LGA. The next column shows the 2008 adopted budget. As you can see, the 2008 budget only increased by $317,635 over the 2003 budget. This is a 3.3% increase in expenditures over afive-year period. Staff is proposing that this be used. as the basis for the 2010 budget. The next column shows the 2008 budget plus City Council approved pay increases through 2010. Using this column as the starting point in the preparation of the 2010 budget we would be freezing expenditures at the 2008 level with the exception of the approved pay increases. The next section, lines 34-37, shows the projection of utilities for the new gymnasium and public safety building as an addition to the base budget for 2010. The bottom section of this form, lines 39-48, reflects the projected revenues for 2010 through 2013 for the start of a four-year budget plan. The primary goal of this plan is to no longer be dependent on LGA as a funding source for general operations. As you can see, in 2013 the projected LGA. for general operations is zero. Line 45 shows the effect this budget plan has on fund balance. In 2010 we would be utilizing $689,489 of fund balance. In 2011 the fund balance used is $99,090, then in 2012 and 2013 we begin a slow rebuilding of fund. balance. The 131 Page Two bottom two lines show the percent and amount of inflation that is built into these budgets. The year 201.0 has zero inflation, 2011 has 1 %, and 2012 and 2013 have 2% inflation. Page 2 shows the history of the city levy and what we have received in LGA from 2003 through projected 2010. The top portion shows the years and our certified LGA and the cuts that we have received. As you can see, on line 16 the total lost LGA from 2003 through projected 2010 is $12,020,989. When you go to the bottom section of the chart it shows our levy history for the same period of time. Here, again, on the bottom you can see that the total revenue gained through increased property tax levies is $12,806,045, which does fully offset the lost LGA. The main paint of this chart is that it shows that our property tax Pevies have basically covered and made up for the lost LGA. The last four columns on the bottom section of the chart show the percent of increase in the levy for 2003 through 2010. As you can see, our levy increases were high in 2004 and 2005 to make up for lost LGA and then decreased significantly. Likewise, the current four-year budget plan has the largest levy increase in the first year. Page 3 shows the four-year levy plan. In this plan 201.0 is the heaviest year as it covers the new expenses for the gymnasium and public safety building as well as additional bonding to cover the Murzyn Hall improvements and the new public safety building. In the years 2011 through 2013 the levy is increased only to replace Lost LGA and to begin replacing fund balance used in 2010 and 2011. The two bottom sections of the chart reflect the Levy increases broken down for general operations and for debt. Lines 27 and 28 reflect the fund balance changes and the total percent of levy increase far the four years. Following this plan through to 2013 will result in 2013 having a property tax levy increase of less than 6% and an increase to fund balance of slightly over $100,000. One of the key points of this budget plan is to remove the reliance on LGA for general operations. The plan is based on receiving and using $425,338 in LGA for years 2010 through 2013. However, there is a possibility that we could receive more LGA in these years. If this holds true, any additional LGA that is received. can be used to reduce the city's debt levy or put aside in a capital building replacement fund. Any portion that is used to reduce the debt levy will result in a direct property tax savings to the residents. For example, in 2010 the plan projects that we will receive $426,338 in LGA. if the city receives more than that, aii or a portion of it can be used to reduce the debt levy, which will result in a reduction of the total city property taxes to the residents. Additional LGA of $300,000 would reduce the levy by approximately 4%. Based on the discussions at the work sessions, based. on this four-year plan. This budget will schedule that has been utilized in previous years. staff will start preparation of the 2010 budget be presented to the council following the same WE:sms 0905073COUNCIL 132 A I B I C I® I E I F I G City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota Budget Comparison ~ Projection 2003 - 2010 General Fund, Library and EDA General 8~ Library Fund 8~ EDA Levy Fund 2003 Adopted Bud et 2008 Adopte Bud et 2008 Budget Plus Pay increase Thru 2010 2010 Personnel Ex ense Personnel Percent of Bud et 1 Mayor-Council 41110 211,014 183,523 190,778 117,089 61% 2 City Manager 41320 412,706 398,026 422,202 390,209 92% 3 City Clerk 41410 8,105 49,588 52,600 48,608 92% 4 Finance 41510 643,973 656,173 694,978 626,317 90% 5 Assessing 41550 101,000 106,415 106,415 0 0% 6 Legal Services 41610 196,572 186,500 186,500 0 0% 7 Fire 42200 916,572 1,159,768 1,227,885 1,099,415 90% 8 Police 42100 2,786,587 3,075,586 3,317,120 3,024,189 91% 9 Gen Gov Bldgs. 41940 158,546 159,212 159,212 0 0% 10 Emergency Management 42500 84,973 22,344 23,126 12,621 55% 11 Animal Control 42700 16,150 15,470 15,470 0 0% 12 Weed Control 43260 16,428 21,493 22,276 12,631 57% 13 Recognition/Special Events 45050 71,368 41,700 41,700 0 0% 14 Contingencies 49200 50,000 100,810 100,810 0 0% 15 Transfers 49300 480,000 185,000 185,000 0 0% 16 Engineering 43100 319,076 321,402 339,357 289,796 85% 17 Streets 43121 690,319 760,897 787,880 435,505 55% 18 Street Lighting 43160 126,416 151,167 151,544 6,082 4% 19 Traffic Signs & Signals 43170 73,251 81,182 84,824 58,788 69% 20 Parks 45200 751,437 735,514 764,977 475,535 62% 21 Tree Trimming 46102 104,500 128,984 133,214 68,273 51 22 Recreation Admin. 45000 224,417 158,608 167,790 148,190 88% 23 Youth Athletics 45001 19,702 33,293 34,845 25,044 72% 24 Adult Athletics 45003 25,328 29,419 30,152 11,824 39% 25 CHASE II/Youth Enrichm. 45004 22,169 60,104 62,497 38,631 62% 26 Travel Athletics/CHASEIII 45005 22,635 31,139 32,227 17,554 54% 27 Trips & Outings 45030 38,666 57,212 58,344 18,277 31% 28 Senior Citizens 45040 78,580 81,689 85,539 62,139 73% 29 Murzyn Hall 45129 249,022 228,230 239,136 176,023 74% 30 Library Total 45500 679,700 738,346 772,743 555,169 72% 31 EDA Lev 140,569 78,622 83,971 83,971 100% 32 Sub Total 9,719,781 10,037,416 10,575,111 7,801,877 74% 34 New Expenses 35 Maint & Utilities new GYM 85,000 36 Maint & Util new Pub Safety 300,000 7 Total Expense Projection 9,719,781 10,037,416 10,960,111 39 Revenue & Ex Pro~ections 2010 2011 2012 2013 40 Operating Levy 8,052,142 8,752,142 9,352,142 9,852,142 41 LGA 425,338 425,338 425,338 0 42 Other Revenue 1,793,142 1,793,142 1,793,142 1,793,142 43 Total Revenue 10,270,622 10,970,622 11,570,622 11,645,284 44 Expense 10,960,111 11,069,712 11,291,106 11,516,928 45 Fund Bal Used Increase 689,489 99,090 279,516 128,356 46 Exp Increase for Inflation 47 Percent 0.0% 1.0% 2.0% 2.0% 48 Amount 0 109,601 221,394 225,822 133 LL W O ~ O N O ~ ~ C ~ (~ U J N H ~ ® Q O ~`~' O v ,~ N '~ RS O ~ ~ ~ ~ -~ CFS ~ = N (~ Q ~ ~Q ~ J - J ~ ~ O ~ ~ O J ~ C -~ ~ C aZS a U ~ ~ ~ ~«- o O .a ~ a=. ~ ~ aLL~~ ;,,_~ ~ ~ ~ J ~ N N .

Through significant advanced planning and reductions, staff and the City Manager are recommending to make cuts and revenue enhancements to compensate for the governor's proposed reductions in the 2009 budget. These cuts and. reductions are a combination of reducing services and expenses, some layoffs, and all employees taking an 80-hour furlough without pay in 2009. It should be recognized that this level of reductions cannot be made without serious impairment to services provided by the City of Columbia Heights. These reductions, as laid out in the attached resolution, should enable the City to deal with the governor's proposed aid reductions resulting in a corresponding reduction of services to residents. As has been discussed with the City Council, staff will continue to evaluate expenses and revenues during the preparation of the 2010 budget. This should allow for the adoption of a 2010 budget that will deal with any further aid reductions that are made by the state legislature. It is staff's very strong recommendation that the council seriously look at increasing other revenue sources wherever possible. There are some instances where the City could make services self-sustaining rather than reliant on taxes or state aid. An example of this would be to establish a street light utility to collect service fees to cover this expense. Another example is that currently approximately $100,000 per year is used to supplement the operation of Murzyn Hall. Service fees should be established to cover the cost of this operation. The other area that needs to be clearly understood is that unlike the budget reciuct'rons of 2003 and 2004, the current reduction cannot be made without seriously reducing services. The cuts willymean having parks, streets, a 111 elt 2 JJV bvuic'vard trees, and otjier pubhC `v`Jorks petits maiiitalned at i~ ~' ~e°°°r level. L ;brary hours (from 60 t0 Sl~, reference work, and other services will also be reduced. Murzyn Hall would close when it is not in use for recreation programs or by afee-paying group. This means fee waived groups would need to be rescheduled to times when the hall is open. Other services such as abatements for weeds and unkempt properties may not be at the same level as in 2008. In addition to this, we are exploring other reductions such as using an automated attendant for phone calls and encouraging all payments that do not require a receipt to be made in the payment drop box. It is important that the City Council understand that these service reductions may result in more citizen comments and input. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2009-24 there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2009-24 being a resolution. reducing the adopted 2009 budget in anticipation of local government aid reductions.
