item D. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
D. Authorization to Purchase Three Replacement Police Vehicles
Nawrocki stated that these were in the budget for $60,000, but he was hoping to hold items back
from the budget. We don't get property tax money until the middle of the year and should look to
cut expenses by only purchasing one new and one used vehicle. Police Chief Nadeau stated that we
keep our squads for four years, which is their serviceable life. We do a good job maintaining them
and give them to other city departments when they are not suitable for patrol work. We cycle and
replace two vehicles a year. We also request a used vehicle, to use as an unmarked car, with less
than 10,000 miles, being either a rental or demo car. Used vehicles that we have purchased have
served our needs in the past. We do this to guard city finances. The current vehicle was
recommended for replacement by the shop mechanic. Nawrocki questioned the mileage on current
patrol cars. Nadeau estimated 50,000 to 60,000 miles and pointed out that the vehicles have been
run 12 to 24 hours a day. Nawrocki questioned buying Crown Victoria's because of their higher
price. Nadeau stated this is the last year of the Crown Victoria and he described the upcoming
vehicles. Nawrocki and Nadeau discussed types and durability of different vehicles.
Peterson stated replacements help us keep up a good solid fleet of police vehicles.
Diehm asked the Chief if we enter even tougher budget times, at mid year would you look back and
regret this. Nadeau stated he would not suggest this area for a budget cut; it is a safety factor.
Keeping cars for 11 years and 80,000 miles shows that we maintain vehicles as long as possible.
Fehst stated that the used vehicles are passed down to the Public Works Department for an
additional three to four years of use. He suggested Nawrocki visit the site to see what all is required
of these vehicles.
Diehm stated it was important for her to hear from the Chief on the issue of safety, as we are all
concerned about what cuts we might face, but she does not feel this is something we can
compromise one She stated confidence in the Chief's direction.

Avenue N.E. - removed
B. Adopt Resolution 2011 -005, 1700 Innsbruck Parkway being a declaration of nuisance and

Fire Chief Gorman stated this is a vacant, foreclosed home where a tree fell in the yard and over the

Resolution Number 2011 -005 there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All

City Council of the City of Columbia Heights declaring the property listed a nuisance and
approving the abatement of violations from the property pursuant to City Code section 8.206.
Nawrocki referred to the recent newspaper articles on 1000 Peters Place. It seems the normal
procedures do not work at this address. Gorman stated there are other properties with the same
owners and they play around the rules there also. It is frustrating on our part. These owners were up
for revocation three to four times a year and at the last minute they come in and make the minimum
repairs. We have inspections on the February 7 work session to discuss how things can be changed.
They are not the only owners that do this. Nawrocki asked, with this type of history, if they should
get less time to make corrections. Gorman referred to numerous return trips to deal with issues such
as bugs. Gorman stated that our strict policy has been put in place because of the small number of
bad rental owners and we don't want to punish the good rental owners for other's errors. He

referred to time extensions for large projects. Peterson agreed to address this at a work session. He
stated that 47 landlords attended the last landlord's meeting held at the Police Department.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions
1. Adopt Resolution 2011 -03, being a Resolution for authorization to enter into a Time Payment
Agreement with James Wetch
Scott Clark, Community Development Director, stated that James Wetch of Jimmy's Pool Hall
came forward to improve his business and obtained a liquor license. The liquor license triggered the
need for a 75 seat facility and sprinkler improvements. They added $100,000 in renovations. The
Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) from the Metropolitan Council, done at the end of the process,
was $26,760 or 12 SAC units. The partners asked staff if there was help available. This
recommendation does not mean the forgiveness of the obligation and allows use of the city wide
SAC credits, which would be a non -cash outlay. Those payments would be secured. We use our
SAC credits for future sewer related work. This is a two year agreement to give city SAC credits in
exchange for cash to the Met Council. There are four parts to the agreement 1) ten percent down of
the original principal owed, 2) a $1,000 per month payment (principal paid over a two -year time
period), and 3) a final payment that covers a deferred two percent interest charge. The fourth part is
how the payments are secured. The SAC payment is being handled as a "local improvement" under
the MSA 429 process, and as such, if non - payment occurs per the Agreement, the Council can
special assess the project. This business has been here 12 years and this is our attempt to assist
them.
Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt to waive the reading of Resolution 201 1 -03, there being
ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt to adopt Resolution 2011 -03, authorizing the Mayor and City
Manager to Sign "Contract for Sewer Availability Charge -Time Payment Agreement" for 4040
Central Avenue NE.
Diehm credited staff for their creativity to help us do what we can to assist our local businesses in
an alternative way. She thanks staff and the business owners for working together to benefit the
City and the business.
Nawrocki questioned why the SAC charges were not discussed at the time of restaurant licensing.
Clark stated the SAC is a cost relative to the improvements. Clark explained the renovation process
for this business. Diehm indicated that the Met Council reviews the SAC and WAC charges and we
may not have been made aware of it. Nawrocki questioned why this was not done for the Koopie
property when she had a potential renter that gave up after finding out about the SAC charge.
Peterson agreed with Diehm's remark that staff did an excellent job finding a solution to assist the
business. They have been good businessmen in our community. Nawrocki asked what the city SAC
charge is. Clark referred to the city's SAC credits.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
2. Second Reading of Ordinance 1587, being an amendment to convey certain real estate
Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt, to waive the reading of Ordinance 1587, there being ample
copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt, to adopt Ordinance 1587, being an Ordinance conveying
certain real estate located at 3853 3rd Street, 4039 5th Street, 4221 5th Street, 4110 6th Street, 4147

Nawrocki asked how much property tax has been lost by the city purchasing these properties.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
B. Bid Considerations - none
C. New Business and Reports
Nawrocki stated he attended the North Metro Chamber meeting, with Legislators present. They
indicated there will be more hits on local government aid. He referred to the increase in the Xcel
utility bill of about 7.5 percent. The Suburban Rate Authority (SRA) works toward cost reductions.
He stated that we dropped out of the SRA a couple of years ago, and felt we should consider
returning. They have obtained great savings for us and this is about the only way we can have a say
on the increases and rates charged. Peterson indicated this should be discussed at a work session.
Nawrocki indicated that according to the final financial report the general fund received about $1
million less than budgeted. Fortunately, expenditures were down about $1 million for the year. This
indicates there is room for reductions in 2011. We increased the levy about four percent and
increased expenditures over the amount that will be collected by $500,000. We should take another
look at the budget and find ways to cut down. Also, liquor revenues were down; there is a
difference of revenues and expenditures of $200,000. Fehst stated that gross revenues are greater
than at any time in our history. Fehst asked that Council member Nawrocki speak to the Finance
Director on this.
Diehm suggested that the Liquor Manager give a presentation to the Council to help us understand
the liquor finances. Fehst stated that would also be a good time to discuss the time limit on
electronic signs, as this affects the liquor stores.
Diehm referred to the bill (House File 52) introduced regarding variances. Since last summer it is
almost impossible to grant a variance and to define a hardship.
Peterson, Diehm, and Nawrocki donated to the coffee fund.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Manager
Nawrocki again questioned what rates facilities competing with Murzyn Hall are currently charging.
Nawrocki stated that a resident confronted him stating that the City removes snow from the LaBelle
Park basketball court but did not put sand down and he fell. Nawrocki questioned if we plow the
basketball court? Fehst stated that he did not believe so and we should not. Fehst reminded residents
that they can attend the open gym at the Highlander. Peterson stated that we do not provide winter
basketball courts. Nawrocki questioned the cost difference between using contract building cleaners
versus part time employees. Fehst stated that the costs were analyzed and it was determined to use part
time help with a full time building maintenance supervisor. Nawrocki stated it is a statutory
requirement to put the three highest salaries on our web site. Fehst stated that information is on the
home page of our web site. Nawrocki indicated that the meeting room at the Public Safety building is
not handicap accessible. Peterson stated that the elevators will now be activated for all public meetings.

Nawrocki stated that Cable Channel 16 is now on the air. He questioned the readability of some agenda
items. Patty Muscovitz, City Clerk, stated the system is new to staff as of last Thursday and we are still
in the learning stages. Nawrocki questioned the cost to show the weather report. Muscovitz stated there
was no cost to show the weather screen. Nawrocki indicated his feeling that the City channel and
Library channel should have been put together.
Report of the City Attorney — nothing to report
CITIZENS FORUM
Dwayne Morrell, 4212 Reservoir Boulevard, spoke of the city purchasing properties and not recouping
the investment. Fehst referred to the TIF program used and the intent of the scattered housing district.
The difference will be seen through improved properties and value increased property taxes. Peterson
indicated that some properties will be sold for more than the purchase price. Morrell indicated that there
was no accountability to the public. Peterson stated that all transactions have public hearings and are
handled with transparency. Schmitt stated that the program has a limit, which we have almost reached.
When we start selling the properties we can continue to purchase more property. Nawrocki indicated
that demo cost is unknown when the property is purchased.
Nawrocki questioned the cost to transfer the properties back to the EDA, i.e. legal fees and County
transfer fees.
Peterson indicated he hoped everyone enjoyed the new TV system.
Peterson: "Remember your service men and women. Don't take ourselves to seriously, enjoy life, and do
a random act of kindness."

ayes. Motion Carried.
LETTERS AND REQUESTS
A. Request for an open bar on April 9, 2010 for a wedding reception
B. Request for an open bar on February 12, 2011 for a wedding reception
Windschitl indicated that this date changed to February 5, 2011.
Windschitl replied both receptions fall into the criteria of operating a responsible,
professional bar. The first reception is expecting around 200 people and the second
reception around 175 people. Both receptions indicated having a responsible bartender.
Motion by Hoium, second by McDonald, to approve request A & B to hold open bars for
the wedding receptions on April 9, 2011 & February 5, 2011. Upon vote: All ayes.
Motion Carried.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Tobacco -Free Park Policy
Windschitl reminded the Commission from the previous meeting of the decision to take
the City of Biwabik policy and critiqued it to our scenario. He stated the goal being to
keep the smoking away from the youth areas in our park system. In particular the
playground, park shelter, ball field areas where youth events are occurring, the beach,
volleyball and wading pool areas. He indicated there were a few things removed from
the Biwabik policy; one of them being the enforcement part because we do not have a
park police program or have extra time in our police department for enforcement. The
signage will be posted with the hope that residents will take an active part in some of
their own enforcement. Windschitl indicated this subject was brought up by a resident
because while she was at a City park with her child some one was smoking near the
playground and wanted to say some thing but didn't due to a lack of signage and a policy.

Windschitl introduced Brittney McFadden from the Tobacco Free Youth Recreation
Program if any Members had questions for her. She is attending the meeting instead of
Derek Larson. Windschitl sent a copy of the policy to Larson to verify that requirements
were met for the free signage from the organization. Larson replied that the criteria were
met.
McFadden discussed the usage of the three different types of signs that are offered by the
Tobacco Free Youth Recreation Program. Windschitl stated that in most cases the
tobacco restricting during youth activities will fit in most areas of the Parks. The
Commission decided to use the "Tobacco Use is Not Allowed During Youth Activities"
sign in majority of postings, and to use the "No Tobacco Use on This Park Property" sign
as a secondary sign in specific areas designated for youth only activities.
Motion by Grussing, second by Stroik, to adopt the Tobacco Free Park Policy. For Staff
to determine the best use of the two signs "Tobacco Use is Not Allowed During Youth
Activities" and "No Tobacco Use on This Park Property" as appropriate within the City
Park system. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Skating Rinks 2010/2011
Hansen reported Staff is beginning to prepare the ice rinks for the 2010/2011 Season.
Beginning around seven years ago the number of rinks had been narrowed down to four
parks due to budget cuts. Over the past few years the Parks crew has been observing
usage of the rinks, Ostrander, Keyes and McKenna Parks are the primary parks with
programs and consistent usage. Gauvitte Park does not have consistent usage. Staff is
recommending not to make ice at that Park because there are no Recreation programs
there and the three year observation indicates little to no usage.
Evans asked about ice at Huset Park. Hansen replied that there was a special request last
year for a community festival but besides that there is no ice maintained at Huset Park.
Stroik asked if the warming houses will not be open. Hansen replied that was eliminated
years ago due to budget cuts. Windschitl indicated that residents can apply for a park
permit to use a warming house for winter activities or parties. Hansen indicated the three
warming houses may be used upon request. Evans asked if the heat is turned off during
the winter. Hansen replied that the buildings are heated minimally to prevent freezing,
otherwise they would need to be winterized. McDonald asked if using volunteers to
supervise the warming houses would work. Windschitl indicated that a background
check would still need to be completed on a volunteer working with youth and that a staff
person would still need to supervise the volunteer and the building.
Motion by McDonald, second by Stroik, to open the ice rinks at Ostrander Park, Keyes
Park and McKenna Park. To no longer make and maintain the ice rink at Gauvitte Park
due to lack of use. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.

B. John P. Murzyn Hall 2012 rental rates
Windschitl indicated a proposed change in the John P. Murzyn Hall rental rates of 5% on
Saturdays in 2012. For 201 1 majority of the Saturdays are currently reserved. Fridays
and Sundays are typically a later booking as the Saturdays become unavailable.
Windschitl indicated that a 25% resident discount is still available.
Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Hoium, to approve the new rates for 2012 and rental
standards as done in the past for John P. Murzyn Hall. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion
Carried.
REPORTS
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl indicated he will be giving a report on the Hylander usage and finances to the
City Council in the next week. The latest edition of the Heights Happenings City
newsletter had more information about using the gym and fitness room at the Hylander
Center. He indicated that usage has increased during the mornings and the evening
numbers have decreased since school has started. Youth Basketball will be using the
Gym on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays but the fitness center will still be available
for use to adults. The gym and fitness room will remain open on Wednesday evenings.
Windschitl indicated the costs for maintenance and utilities has been less than projected.
The hope is for more people to find out about the opportunities and take advantage of
using the facility.
Windschitl indicated the scheduled December Park & Recreation Commission meeting
falls on the Wednesday prior to the Christmas vacation and would like to move the date
up by one week to the 15` The Commission agreed that December 15 would work for
the next meeting if needed.
Evans asked when the City Council approves the budget. Peterson replied December 13.
Windschitl indicated the Recreation Department had less than a 1% increase with step
increases and annual increases budgeted with unions. He stated the format was changed
to more of a City wide presentation to the Council on each Departments budget.
Windschitl invited the Commission to stop in his office if they wanted to review the
budget. Hansen indicated that all Departments were at or under a 1% increase. The
water and stone sewer was at a negative increase. Peterson stated the Council will have a
work session on the budget on November 29 and the Commission is invited.
B. Public Works Director /City Engineer
Hansen indicated the Huset Park memorial sign for Jerry Foss should be delivered this
week and will be placed at the shelter. Windschitl asked what the sign will be made out
of. Hansen replied aluminum.
The Huset Park playground recognition sign will be changed slightly. Company logos
are extremely hard to get and would need to be in a high definition in order to be placed
on the sign. He indicated the sign will be slightly smaller than planned, around four feet
by two and a half feet. An example of the updated sign was passed around. Stroik asked
18
Park & Recreation Commission
November 17, 2010
Page 4
for the cost of the sign. Hansen replied it should be less due to the decrease in size.
Stroik asked where the sign will be placed. Hansen replied by the playground.
Hansen asked if there are any thoughts on continuing to refer to Huset Park as the East or
West side. Saefke replied that when people reserve the shelter or the Jefferson building
Staff refers to the sides of Huset Park as the East with the building or the West with the
new shelter. The building and the shelter are separate rentals. Windschitl replied that
should continue internally but to the public to keep the whole park listed as Huset Park.
Hansen indicated the Public Works staffing is down by three people. One position, a
streets maintenance worker will not be filled in the near future. Tim Lund, Park
Foreman, will be out with a major surgery for at least six to eight weeks. A utilities
employee will be out for three to five months undergoing cancer treatments.
Evans asked how many trucks are put out for snow plowing. Hansen replied that it
depends on the snow fall.
Hansen stated the Sullivan Lake trail has been fixed. All work was done in- house, they
pulled back the wall and repaved the trail. In the Spring the trail will be widened to ten
feet. Peterson indicated he received a compliment from a resident on the tree trimming
and trail work.
C. Commission Members
Peterson informed the Commission that the former Fire Department garage will be turned
into a Golden Glove Gym. Evans asked who will run the gym. Peterson replied Brian
Clerkin, The program will be open mostly for older kids and primarily only for youth.
Evans asked if City Staff would be responsible. Peterson indicated no, City Staff will not
be involved. Stroik asked if the group is renting from the City. Peterson replied yes, they
will be covering the utilities.
Greenhalgh asked when the railings on the Central Avenue pedestrian bridge will be
installed. Hansen indicated the railings will be delivered tomorrow for the switchback
and for the helix on November 30. Evans asked how many students used the bridge since
it has been open. Hansen replied that all students used the bridge during the first week
because police were patrolling the intersection. Pedestrian counts were done prior to the
work being done on the bridge and the average is 300 students per day. A PR/Media
campaign was done throughout the schools on the importance of using the bridge and all
crosswalks because there are accidents every year.

NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST TO INSTALL 4 WAY STOP SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF 7TH STREET AND
41 AVENUE
Mr Elhshik is representing the Islamic Center of Minnesota at 4056 7 Street. The concern is the potential for
vehicle and personal injury accidents at the uncontrolled intersection of 7` Street and 41 Avenue. Mr. Elhshik
is caretaker of the building and was present at the meeting.
Officer Okerstrom stated that there have been two accidents at the intersection, one in 2008 and one in 2010.
Both accidents resulted in property damage only and no injuries.
Goodman checked the intersection today. He saw only eight cars and no need for stop signs, but possibly a
yield sign on the north side would be beneficial.
All members agreed that there is much more traffic during church and mosque activities. However,
everyone is more careful due to the increased traffic, which is slow moving.
Currently a stop sign would not meet Federal guidelines. However, Mr Elhshik stated that the mosque is
very busy and has services five times per day. Mr. Elhshik was advised that studies have shown that stop
signs tend to give pedestrians a false sense of security while crossing streets. Studies also show that if a stop
sign is not needed, drivers tend to ignore it making the stop sign more of a detriment than a plus. Young
reviewed the guidelines with Mr. Elhshik. Commission members all agreed that people are more careful and
traffic is slow during activities at the mosque and the church. Carlson motioned that we deny the stop sign at
41 and 7` Motion seconded by Tyler. All ayes. Motion carried.

COMMISSIONERS
Carlson stated he would like the Police Department to give more attention to jaywalkers at 40 and Central
Avenue. Corporal Okerstrom stated that jaywalking is one of their top priorities and they do have an active
jaywalker detail. However, lately they have been trying to stay on 49 and Central to encourage pedestrians
to use the new bridge.
Goodman asked if the police can tag bicycles as there have been a lot of violations by people on bikes.
Okerstrom said yes.
Doty has a concern regarding parking on the street rather than the parking lot at the high school, especially
during events. He stated that students park on the street and then walk in the street and in- between cars
rather than using the parking lot. Often there are 4 -6 kids hanging around the cars. There are also a lot of
cars stopping. There used to be no parking on the street, when did this change? Corporal Okerstrom will
pass this information on to the school liaison. There is also a security guard at the school. He does not know
when the no parking was changed.
Goodman stated he gets a lot of complaints regarding the length of the stoplight at 41 and Central Avenue.
Young informed him that the state will be looking into the longevity of the traffic lights in 2012.
It was also noted that this is the last Traffic Commission meeting for Bruce Kelzenberg.

ITEM: REQUEST FOR FOUR -WAY STOP SIGNS ON 7 BY K. Hansen BY:
STREET AND 41 AVENUE DATE: 2/9/11 DATE: '
Background:
A request to install four -way stop signs at 7 Street and 41 Avenue was discussed at the December Traffic
Commission meeting. The request was made by Mr Elhshik, caretaker at the Islamic Center, 4056 7th Street.
The concern is the potential for vehicle and personal injury accidents at the uncontrolled intersection of 7th
Street and 41 Avenue due to the volume of vehicles and pedestrians in the area when there are events at the
mosque or the church. The Traffic Commission reviewed the visibility at the intersection and the number of
accidents. In addition, the Commission reviewed accident information compiled for Police Grid 11 from
June, 2010. Based on this information, the Commission denied the request. The draft minutes are included
with the City Council packet under item 5B.
Subsequently, Mr Elhshik is appealing the decision of the Traffic Commission. Letters and a petition
submitted by Mr Elhshik are attached.
Analysis /Conclusions:
Cities, counties and states follow the guidelines in the Federal MUTCD (Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices) for installation of signs. Intersection control with signs or signals must be warranted in accordance
with MUTCD guidelines.
The following factors are considered in establishing intersection control:
A. Vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic volumes on all approaches;
B. Number and angle of approaches;
C. Approach speeds;
D. Sight distance available on each approach; and
E. Reported crash experience.
At intersections where a full stop is not necessary at all times, consideration should first be given to
using less restrictive measures such as YIELD signs.
The following guidelines have been added for local, low volume roads:
The use of YIELD or STOP signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor streets or
local roads where the intersection has more than three approaches and where one or more of the
following conditions exist:
A. The combined vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian volume entering the intersection from all
approaches averages more than 2,000 units per day;
B. The ability to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to allow a road user to
stop or yield in compliance with the normal right -of -way rule if such stopping or yielding is
necessary; and /or
C. Crash records indicate that five or more crashes that involve failure to yield the right -of -way
at the intersection under the normal right of way rule have been reported within a 3-year
period, or that three or more such crashes have been reported within a 2-year period.
This intersection does not meet the requirements for stop sign installation, as a full stop is not necessary at

all times. Also, during the last three years, there have been two reported traffic incidents.
Mn/DOT published a study that shows "Adding STOP signs lowers speeds by about 2 mph, in the vicinity of
the STOP sign, but also reduces compliance — a greater number of drivers completely disregard the sign than
come to a complete stop. In addition, speeds in the segments between STOP signs have been observed to
increase drivers attempting to make up for lost time ".
Staff does support installing a yield sign for north and south bound traffic, as discussed at the Traffic
Commission meeting on December 6, 2010. The visibility of the intersection is fair with the landscaping and
fence partially obstructing visibility for northbound traffic. Installing a yield sign will assign right -of -way at
the intersection.
Studies have also shown that stop signs tend to provide a false sense of security to pedestrians. Strategies
that have proven to be effective include sidewalks, improving visibility and increased street lighting.
Sidewalks are available on both 7th Street and 41 Avenue. One option to improve visibility for both
motorists and pedestrians is to restrict parking near the intersection on 7 Street and 41 Avenue. Another
option is for the Islamic Center to pay for additional lighting at the intersection.
Staff does not support adding stop signs at this intersection. Yield signs stopping one direction of
traffic would assign right -of -way at the intersection and meet the MUTCD requirements.
Recommended Motion: Move to deny installation of four -way stop signs on 7` Street and 41 Avenue
based on a recommendation of the Traffic Commission.
Alternate Motion: Move to authorize installation of "Yield" signs on 7 Street and 41 Avenue, yielding
traffic on 7th Street, based on the configuration of the intersection and the amount of pedestrian traffic
generated by the nearby mosque and church.
Alternate Motion: Move to designate "No Parking" for 20' from the intersection on the approach lanes for
7 Street and 41 Avenue.

Helgo,
We all agree that the life of ever creature is very valuable and the
human's life is very precious. Installing a four -way stop sign at the
intersection of 7th Street and 41st Avenue will cert inly prevent accidents
from happening and save people's lives.
The Islamic Center of Minnesota (4056 7th St. NE) is located at the
intersection of 7 Street and 41 Avenue. This intersection is experiencing
more traffic and speedy drivers which makes the lives of people vulnerable.
A four -way stop sign at the intersection of 7 Street and 41 Avenue is
extremely important and it will bring safety to the visitors of the Islamic
Center of Minnesota, the Muslim Mosque, the visitors of St. Matthew
Lutheran Church (4101 Washington Street NE), and to the residents of the
area.
We are facing the danger of traffic every single day because we at the
Muslim Mosque have services five times every day. We do not have a
parking lot so the visitors park on the street. It is more dangerous in the
winter season because the snow narrows the roads. Friday is the busiest
day because of our congregation prayer and the building is totally packed.
In the month of Ramadan the Muslim Mosque is very busy and totally
packed every evening for 30 days.
For the above mentioned reasons we request from you to install a four -
way stop sign as soon as possible. We do not want to wait until a tragedy or
accident take place and someone dig -s.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
The Islamic Center of Minnesota, r. r V f sque

To the City Council of Columbia Heights, Date: 02/04/11
Hello,
I, Abdulbaset Elhshik, the caretaker of the Islamic Center of Minnesota building
(4056 7 St. NE) located at the intersection of 7 Street and 41" Avenue.
I met with the Traffic Commission on 12/06/10 to request on the behalf of the
visitors of the building, the visitors of St. Matthew Lutheran Church (4101 Washington
Street NE), and the residents of the area installation of a four-way stop sign at the
intersection of 7 Street and 41 Avenue to promote safety, prevent accidents from
happening, protect our children as they wait for the school bus, and save people's lives
as I stated in the attached letter that I addressed to them.
Unfortunately, they denied our request.
One member of the traffic commission said, "1 drive through the intersection of 7
Street and 41' Avenue about three times a week and 1 don't see danger or need to put
a four stop sign"
We are sure that all of us agree that my observation as a caretaker, the residents
near the intersection, and the people who drive by and stop at that the intersection of
f Street and 41 Avenue's observations are more frequent than the observation of the
traffic commission member.
The police officer said, "There are not enough accident happened at this
intersection to put a four-way stop sign". But we do not need accidents at all.
Since my last visit to the traffic commission on December 6, 2010, there have
been two accidents at this intersection. When I arrived on a Christmas Day early in the
morning, I saw debris from one of these accidents. It is possible that people do not
report the accidents and settle it between them, but those of us who work, attend the
five services daily in the Islamic Center of Minnesota, and live near the intersection see
the danger every day.
Another member of the traffic commission said, "Usually, when there is traffic
people slow down because there is no room to speed".
We agree with this, but we would point out that not all accidents happen when
the street is heavily trafficked.
Please consider helping us to prevent any future accidents

ITEM: PUBLIC WORKS BLANKET ORDERS FOR 2011 BY K. Hansen BY
PURCHASES DATE: February 3, 2011 DATE:
Background:
Public Works has several purchases that are routine in nature and repetitive each year but require Council approval
because they exceed the charter limitation of $15,000. Staff is requesting authorization to process blanket purchase
orders for 2011 to cover the items described herein.
Analysis /Conclusions:
The adopted 2011 Public Works Budget has the following amounts established for:
201 l Budgeted Amounts
• De -icing salt for sanding operations $ 44,530
• Fuel for City vehicles $140,295
• Bituminous Asphalt for patching and paving $ 79,357
• Water Stop Box Repairs $ 77,931
Public Works Department purchases de- icing salt off of the State of Minnesota Contract, which is bid for the 2010-2011
winter season for multiple municipalities. The 2010-2011 contract for salt is in effect from June 8, 2010 until June 7, 2011,
so the vendor and unit price may change. The current contract supplier is North American Salt Company. In the past, the
City has purchased its unleaded and diesel fuel off of the Anoka County Cooperative Purchasing Contract. This year the
fuel purchasing is offered as a State of Minnesota Contract, with multiple cities and counties participating. The City will
purchase 70% of its fuel off the state contract and the remainder off the lowest available purchasing contract, which in
recent years has been Anoka County. For street patching and repairs, staff obtains unit price bids for asphalt materials
annually and in 2010, the primary source was Commercial Asphalt. For delinquent accounts and foreclosed properties, the
City makes water stop box repairs in accordance with City ordinance. Pricing for curb stop repairs is provided on a unit
price basis for a two -year term through 2011.
Recommended Motion: Move approval to authorize staff to process blanket purchase orders in an amount not to exceed
the 2011 budget amounts for:
• De -icing salt for salt /sanding operations purchased off the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract
• Fuel (unleaded and diesel) for City vehicles from the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract and the Anoka
County Cooperative Agreement.
• Bituminous asphalt for patching /paving City streets and alleys from Commercial Asphalt, or Bituminous
Roadways or C.S. McCrossan.
• Curb stop and service repairs, for delinquent accounts and foreclosed properties.

SANITARY SEWER PIPE LINING PROJECT DATE: 2/8/11 DATE:
Background:
Public Works annually budgets $125,000 for sewer pipe lining to address pipe deficiencies. Through the
sewer lining televising program, utility crews televise and inspect 16,000 — 20,000 feet a year. From these
reports, a determination is made on pipe conditions. Along with a history of plugged sewers and /or backups,
a determination is made for which pipe segments would benefit from pipe lining. In addition, during 2010,
2011 and 2012, staff is concentrating the lining program in Districts 2 and 3. The sanitary sewer flow in
these districts experiences peaks after rainfall events and is subject to annual financial penalties from the
MCES.
Analysis & Conclusions:
Staff is recommending increasing the budget amount to $180,000 in both 2010 and 2011 to accommodate the
extra work in these districts.
Fifteen (15) segments of Vitrified Clay Pipe (clay tile) are recommended for lining in 2011. Inspection
reports have identified significant joint infiltration. Lining will restore pipe integrity and eliminate
infiltration at the joints.
1. 1,644 feet of 8" VCP on 6 Street from 40 Avenue to 1 MH north of 42 Avenue, MH35C39 to
MH35B37.
2. 1,315 feet of 10" VCP and 330 feet of 8" VCP on 5 Street from 40` Avenue to 1 S ` MH north of 42"
Avenue, MH35C35 to MH35B34.
3. 985 feet of 10" VCP and 815 feet of 8" VCP on 4` Street from 40` Avenue to 1 MH north of 42
Avenue, MH35C32 to MH35B71.
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize staff to seek bids for the 2011 Sanitary Sewer Pipe Lining
Project for the pipe segments identified herein.

Attachment to Change Order No. 1
City Project No. 1002
Page 1
Owner: City of Columbia Heights
Contractor: North Valley, Inc.
Project: 2010 Street Rehabilitation
Description of Changes:
The City requested the following work for additions, changes or modifications to the contract documents:
• Item No. 1: Sawing concrete
Full concrete panels (joint to joint) were being removed on 37 Avenue to rehabilitate the top sections of the
sanitary sewer manholes. The Contractor was having a difficult time removing the panels in a timely manner.
Due to the heavy traffic on 37` Avenue, staff directed the Contractor to sawcut at the joints.
Costs will be appropriated from sanitary sewer fund.
• Item No. 2: Common excavation FDR, LV
Three blocks were constructed with full depth reclamation. Approximately 10" of bituminous and underlying
gravel were ground up and mixed together. Approximately 6" of this material was left in place on the street as
aggregate base material. The excess material was hauled off -site. The excess material is difficult to estimate
during the design process. The excess material is measured by truck volume as it is being hauled off -site.
Costs will be appropriated from the special assessment and infrastructure funds.
• Item No. 3: Aggregate base Class 5
Additional class 5 was used to stabilize the east end of 46` Avenue where the sanitary sewer main was
extended, as well as in several of the miscellaneous stone sewer and sanitary sewer construction sites.
Costs will be appropriated from the respective utility funds.
• Item No. 4: Wear course
Wear course in addition to plan quantities was used on the project. For example, staff anticipates
approximately 11/4" of bituminous material will remain on the street after the milling is complete. On 46
Avenue, large areas of the bituminous mat crumbled during the milling process. Before the overlay was
placed, the Contractor paved a layer of bituminous where the material was missing.
Costs will be appropriated from the special assessment and infrastructure funds.
• Item No. 5: Bituminous patch special
Many times when spot repairs /replacements are made to the sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water main
systems, the extent of the work is not known until the utilities are exposed. At several sites, additional patching
was required.
Costs will be appropriated from the respective utility funds.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: February 14, 2011
AGENDA SECTION: Other Ordinances and ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S
Resolutions Community Development APPROVAL
NO:
ITEM: 2nd Reading of Ordinance 1588, being a BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner BY:
Zoning Amendment as it Relates to Driveways. DATE: February 9, 2011
BACKGROUND:
At this time, City Staff is proposing an ordinance change that would effect the setback and location
requirements for residential driveways. After reviewing the Zoning Code, staff feels that the current language
pertaining to setbacks should be amended to better reflect today's housing standards and uses of residential
properties. The amendment would allow for driveways to be placed as close as one (1) foot from the side lot
line for those lots less than 60 feet in width, and as close as three (3) feet from the side lot line for those lots
greater than 60 feet in width.
The sole intention of proposed Ordinance 1588 is to allow residents who have a lot less than sixty (60) feet in
width to located their driveway as close as one (1) foot to the side property line. This will enable residents to
store vehicles more easily on their property and will allow for easier access to detached garages in some
instances.
Staff will look into the possibility of requiring permits for driveways, and will bring a report to the City Council
at the February 7, 2011 Work Session meeting. This report will include possible permit fees, the relationship
between the proposed permit fees and the Shoreland Overlay District, and what the Building Official will inspect
when conducting the necessary building inspections on driveways.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing for the request on January 4, 2011. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the Zoning Amendment with a 2 -1 vote at the meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1588, being ample copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1588, being an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 1490 City Code of 2005,
relating to driveways within the City of Columbia Heights.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2011 -0102
DATE: January 4, 2011
TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission
APPLICANT: City of Columbia Heights
LOCATION: City Wide
REQUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Driveways
PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner
BACKGROUND
At this time, City Staff is proposing an ordinance change that would effect the setback and
location requirements for residential driveways. After reviewing the Zoning Code, staff feels
that the current language pertaining to setbacks should be amended to better reflect
today's housing standards and uses of residential properties.
As part of this process, staff will also look into the possibility of requiring a building permit
for the construction or reconstruction of future driveways. The justification is to enable staff
to determine whether the placement of driveways on residential properties meets the
minimum setback requirements, as well as allowing staff to better monitor the impervious
surface area calculations for those properties located in the Shoreland Overlay Districts.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the housing
stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance amendment
would allow residents to have greater flexibility in the placement of driveways on their lots,
which would give opportunity to reinvest in their homes.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The proposed amendments made to the Zoning Ordinance would include language
regarding the setbacks and locations of residential driveways within the city. The proposed
changes include:
78
City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission January 4, 2011
City of Columbia Heights, Driveways Case # 2011 -0102
1. Residential lots platted prior to the effective date of this Code and having a lot
width of sixty (60) feet or Tess, shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of
one (1) foot in all districts.
2. Residential lots platted after the effective date of this Code or having a lot width
greater than sixty (60) feet shall maintain a minimum side yard setback of three
(3) feet in all districts.
3. The creation of a joint driveway use between neighboring property owners shall
require a Conditional Use Permit.
4. Driveways may only lead directly to, or be contiguous to driveways leading to,
an attached or detached garage.
5. In all zoning districts, driveways shall be no Tess than twelve (12) feet in width.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make
each of the following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
One of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan is to preserve and reinvest in the
housing stock to protect values and investment in the city. The proposed ordinance
amendment would allow residents to have greater flexibility in the placement of
driveways on their lots, which would give opportunity to reinvest in their homes.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a
single property owner.
The proposed amendment would be effective for all residential properties within the
city.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property
within the general area of the property in question are compatible with the
proposed zoning classification.
Not applicable.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular
property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in
the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such
property was placed in the current zoning classification.
