ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions -
7A1. Adopt Resolution 2011 -56, being a Resolution to restrict parking on Hart Boulevard from
37 Avenue to 39 Avenue. to construct trail and restrict parking
Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt, to waive the reading of Resolution 2011 -56, there
being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt, to adopt Resolution 2011 -56, being a Resolution to
restrict parking on Hart Boulevard from 37 Avenue to 39 Avenue.
Schmitt questioned if adjacent property owners have given their opinion on this. Peterson stated
they are part of the project and should be aware of it. There is very little parking on this street.
Fehst stated this would quiet traffic and move the bike path away from the water. Kathy Young,
Assistant City Engineer, stated this follow up comes from the Council request to use Municipal
State Aid funds for the work. MNDOT will not approve the project unless this resolution is
approved and submitted. This will narrow the street and restricting parking to one side of the
street. Peterson stated that the adjacent property, the Light House, has their own parking and
there are no homes affected by this parking restriction.
Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.
7A2. Adopt Resolution 2011 -55, being a Resolution to adopt the ten standard performance
measures developed by the Council on Local Results and Innovation.
Fehst suggested discussion of a resolution regarding Legislature levy limits and approving a
survey of ten performance standards. The measures were set by a commission and the concern
was for misuse of information regarding inner ring and outer ring cities. The law provides that if
the city adopts the standards, allowing for a survey of the public on how service is provided, we
could ask for an exception to the levy limits. We would have to meet the standards. There are no
limits yet. Many cities are now considering this. Fehst spoke of the previous two public surveys
conducted in our community. The survey of 400 residents cost $11,000, found the city to be
doing a good job. The other survey was in conjunction with the schools regarding a community
center. Fehst described the services in question and what the city has accomplished in these
areas. He suggested we participate. Up to $2,500 will be contributed for the survey. Cities have
discussed working together to keep the cost down.
Schmitt asked what number of people would have to be surveyed. Fehst referred to internet
surveys, but it must be determined if they are statistically valid. Decision Resources does a good
job, but would cost about $5,000. If you ask 300 random people it has a ten percent accuracy
rate. If you ask 400 people it is a five percent accuracy rate. It will require work on our part, so if
you are not interested please tell us. Schmitt asked if they would allow Survey Monkey to do
this. Fehst stated it is being discussed, but it must be city specific.

Nawrocki stated he gets a sampling from people on what we do every day and it is not good. A
survey could be good, but we have no idea on the cost. He is not in favor of saying we would not
have levy limits. Even with the increases we have had, we have still stayed within the levy limits.
Kloiber stated the decision to participate will be an annual decision and for 2011 the method to
collect the information has not been determined; only what the ten questions must be. It could be
more expensive next year when the benchmarks are given.
Schmitt started that staff that could set up the survey on Survey Monkey. She stated that she was
in favor of doing the cheapest survey we can do at this point. Kloiber stated that our IT personnel
have set up such an internal survey. Schmitt indicated that people might not answer a phone
number they do not know or no longer have a home phone. Fehst stated that we have lived with
levy limits for many years, but surveying the public is a good idea.
Nawrocki stated that the questions on the sheet are reasonable questions. He suggested the
survey be through our newsletter or the utility bills, but that would only go to property owners.
Nawrocki suggested finding out if the State will allow extra time to conduct the survey.
Schmitt stated that she does not like the concept of levy limits where the state can put a limit on
our tax level, but also does not like to escalate our taxes. Kloiber stated that at this point there are
not levy limits. If the State paired levy limits with a reduction of State Aid, there would be
difficult decisions to be made. Nawrocki gave the history on levy limits. Fehst stated that which
governs best, governs least, and if you can handle this at a local level, it should be done that way.
Fehst referred to our reduction in State Aid. He stated that more information would be placed on
the next agenda.
B. Bid Considerations - none
C. New Business and Reports - none
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Manager
Nawrocki asked for budget and annual financial report information to be placed in the next
newsletter. Fehst stated we could have an article on the budget time frame.
Nawrocki requested to know the cost for one person to attend the community picnic. He questioned
what the response was to the parking closures at Huset Park for the parade.
Report of the City Attorney — nothing to report
CITIZENS FORUM
Peterson stated that the Jamboree celebration received very positive comments. He listed many of the
events that took place. The parade was a little shorter than in the past, but it was a huge success. The
ribbon cutting ceremony on the new pedestrian bridge also went well. The fireworks were great,
though a few ashes fell into the crowd, which will be discussed. Our Police, Fire, and Recreation
Depailruents all did a great job. We appreciate the work they do for this event and the Lions Club for
sponsoring their 56 Jamboree. Thank you for this tradition.
Peterson: Don't forget our service men and women; keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Don't
take yourself too seriously, and do a random act of kindness.

ITEM: Approve the Receipt of JAG Grant Fund BY: Scott Nadeau ,/ I BY: G /`.
Monies /Public Comment and Review DATE June 30, 2011 DATE: `2.7 '<
NO.
BACKGROUND
The Columbia Heights Police Department has been notified that it will be receiving $1 1,537 in Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program funds. This JAG grant is an equipment grant
that cannot be used to supplant other budgeted purchases. The Police Department's intention is to use the
grant monies to fund the purchase of the following:
Battery Chargers
1 am recommending the addition of electric battery chargers to the squad cars as part of the JAG grant
funding. These battery chargers will assist with keeping the battery charged with the extensive amount of
electronic equipment installed in the squad cars. They will prevent discharged batteries and save on the
replacement costs related to damage when discharged. They will also prevent the need for excessive idling of
the cars and save on run time and wear and tear on the engine. The Police Department currently has two of
these low -cost charging systems in its 2011 squad cars and they have exceeded expectations.
Marked Squad Cars (102, 101, 091, 082, 081, 071, 103 )
Kusmaul Auto Eject Battery Charger: $ 389.00
Labor (per car): $ 190.00
Per car total: $ 579.00
Total for seven cars (CSO car included): $ 4,053.00
Weapon Lockers
Many tactical situations require officers and investigators who work the day shift to have a high - capacity
long gun available. These situations include active shooters, school incidents and other violent encounters
involving firearms. Currently a portion of these firearms are stored in the trunks of squad cars. In the past 24
months both the Blaine Police and a Federal Agent working in Stillwater have had these long guns stolen
from their vehicles. This has necessitated Police Departments to examine best practices in security and
accessibility to firearms stored in vehicles. This recommendation is to purchase weapons lockers that allow
for quick access of the long guns while securing them against theft. The Police Department already has two
of these vehicle mounted safes in use and is satisfied with how they have performed.
Truck Vault Brand
Parts: $ 839.00
Drawer Foam: $ 121.00
Sales Tax (per car): $ 66.00
Labor (per car): $ 100.00
Shipping (per car): $ 75.00

Per car total: $ 1,201.00
Two cars: (2008 Dodge Charger, 2008 Taurus) $ 2,402.00
Entry Tools
Entry tools are considered standard equipment by many police agencies for use in executing search
warrants, responding to emergency situations, and freeing trapped people. Currently the police
department has no entry tools available for immediate use and need to request assistance from other
departments or agencies when these tools are needed. This delay can be costly and create potential
safety issues depending on the situation.
Entry tool pack (Hallagan tool/hammer) per car $ 260.99
Sales Tax (per car) $ 17.94
Total for entry packs (eight cars) $ 2,231.44
Ram (per car) $ 336.99
Tax (per car) $ 23.17
Total for Rams (three cars) $ 1,08(148
Dynamic Entry Bolt cutters $ 327.99
Tax $ 22.55
Total (bolt cutters- five cars) $ 1,75230
Total Entry Tools: $ 5,064.62
Total: $11,519.62
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSION
Acceptance of the grant requires an opportunity for public comment and review. Bringing this item
for the Council's review satisfies this requirement.
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Move to accept the receipt of $11,537 in Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)
Program funds, expenditures to be made as outlined above.

OF 10 RESOLUTION NDARD PERFORMANCE BY: JOSEPH
ANCE DIRECTOR
MEASURES. BY: ,''/ .

DATE: JULY 6, 2011
Background
In 2010, the Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation (CLRI). In February 2011, CLRI
released a standard set of ten performance measures for cities. As an incentive for local governments to
voluntarily report these standard measures, the same legislation provides an exemption from the levy limits under
MN statutes section 275.70 to 275.74 for those governments that collect and report the data required for these ten
measures. To qualify for the exemption from the levy, the City must submit to the State Auditor by July 1 of each
year a declaration that it has adopted the program for the year. For the first year of the program, the State Auditor
has extended the filing deadline to July 15, 2011.
Analysis
Currently, there are no levy limits in place for 2012. There are significant concerns however, that the special
legislative session will create far more restrictive levy limits than in the past, and that these limits will be paired
with further significant cuts to state aids. For the City of Columbia Heights, that could likely lead to significant
cuts in City services for 2012.
Although a decrease in City services in order to achieve a lower- than - planned City tax levy is an option to be
considered in difficult economic times, staff judges that the community would be best served by having its City
Council decide such matters about City services, and to not leave such local decisions up to the state. For this
reason, a number of cities are adopting the standard measurement reporting program this year, as a way to insure
control of their own planning and budgeting for 2012. For this same reason, staff recommends the Council
consider adopting the program for this year.
The collection and reporting of the data for the ten standard measures is not costly or burdensome for the first year
of the program. The main cost would be for a citizen survey, most of the other data is already collected by the
City. The State will reimburse the City's program costs up to $2,500. The reporting requirements for the second
year of the program have not been established yet, but a City's commitment is only for one year at a time.
Staffs has one concern, which is publicly shared by CLRI. That is the potential for the misuse of these
performance measures by the legislature or others in the appropriation of funds or for comparisons among cities.
These general performance measures are simply inadequate for those purposes.
Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting the following motions:
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2011 -55 there being ample copies
available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2011 -55 being a resolution to adopt for 2011 the ten
standard performance measures developed by the Council on Local Results and Innovation.

RESOLUTION NO. 2011-55
ADOPT FOR 2011, THE TEN STANDARD PERFORMANCE MEASURES DEVELOPED BY THE
COUNCIL ON LOCAL RESULTS AND INNOVATION
WHEREAS, the 2010 Minnesota Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation; and
WHEREAS, In February 2011, the Council on Local Results and Innovation Council released a standard set of ten
perfounance measures, attached as Exhibit A, for Minnesota cities to voluntarily report to citizens; and
WHEREAS, the potential costs to the City of Columbia Heights to collect and compile the data necessary to report
these ten standard measures appears reasonable; and
WHEREAS, the results of these ten standard measures may be informative for the citizens, City Council, and staff
of the City of Columbia Heights; and
WHEREAS, by reporting these ten standard measures for 2011, the City of Columbia Heights would be exempted
from state- imposed levy limits under MN statutes section 275.70 to 275.74 for taxes payable in 2012, in the event
that such levy limits are created by the State of Minnesota for taxes payable in 2012; and
WHEREAS, critical decisions by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights with regard to city service
levels and tax levies could potentially be pre - empted by such state - imposed levy limits;
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, that the City of Columbia
Heights adopts for 2011, the ten standard performance measures developed by the Council on Local Results and
Innovation.

insurance industry to develop premium rates for residential and commercial businesses. ISO analyzes data
using a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) and then assigns a Public Protection Classification from 1 to
10. Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire
suppression program does not meet ISO's minimum criteria.)

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: July 11, 2011
AGENDA SECTION: Consent ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER
NO: Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Agreements for Lighting Improvements at BY: Scott Clark BY:
Public Ramp- 950 40 Ave DATE: July 7, 2011 ��,r
Background Information: The overall impact of this action will be to create the ability to retrofit the City
owned parking ramp at 950 40 (ramp attached to the Northeast Business Center office) with new lighting
fixtures at a cost of $17,990.64. The proposal involves three parties: 1) The City 2) Stadium Village LLC who is
the owner of the Business Center and manages and operates the ramp, for the City, based on a series of
agreements and amendments dating back to 1982. It is key to the understanding of this action that Stadium
Village is ultimately responsible for capital improvements at the ramp in exchange for the ramp being deeded to
them in 2022 and 3) The Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) which is a non - profit that will provide the
loan proceeds for the improvements.
Originally, Stadium Village was to receive a 33 month loan ($17,990 principal) from CEE with monthly
repayments of $580.24. Due to a number of considerations, CEE could not issue a loan directly to Stadium
village since they do not own the parking ramp asset. In turn, the proposal now is to have the same loan between
the City and CEE, and then have a second agreement signed that obligates Stadium Village to reimburse the City
for the same. This effectively places the transaction as the City performing conduit financing, as the cost to the
City is zero. Based on review of these documents by the City Attorney, the City will simply have Stadium
Village contract repayment to the City with the same document language that the City is signing with CEE. It is
important to emphasize that risk of non - payment is minimal and that the improvements are being done to a City
owned facility, not a privately held asset.
Attached are the loan documents, the fixture proposal and estimates of annual energy savings ($6,784.92).
Stadium Village will act in the form of a "general contractor" and will purchase and implement the improvement
project.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the loan process as presented.
Recommended Motion: Motion move to Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to Sign Loan Documents
Between the City and The Center of Energy and Environment, in a Form Dated and Attached July 11, 2011, for
Parking Ramp Lighting Improvements at 950 40 in an amount not to exceed $17,990.64
Motion move to Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to Sign Loan Documents Between the City and Stadium
Village LLC for Reimbursement of Loan Payments made between the City and The Center of Energy and
Environment dated July 11, 2011.
Attachments: loan documents, future proposal and energy savings
