Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, stated this is connected to a past resolution for a cost sharing trail adjacent to Hart Boulevard going to Prestemon Park. For 2012 the grant is 75% DNR and 25% City cost share. When we applied for this grant in 2010, is was a 50/50% split. The city would have up to two years to build the trail. It would be a bituminous 8 to 10 foot trail. Nawrocki questioned if this would eliminate some parking along Hart Boulevard. Hansen stated no. Schmitt asked why the trail would cross Cleveland to get to Prestemon Park. Hansen stated this was because of the elevation/slope of this area. City Council Minutes Monday,March 26,2012 Page 3 of 11 Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. D. Adopt Resolution 2012-028, Approving the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization Motion by Schmitt, second by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-028, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Schmitt, second by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2012-028, Being a Resolution Approving the Joint Powers Agreement and Officially Designating the City of Columbia Heights' Membership in the Mississippi Water Management Organization. Hansen gave the background on Surface Water Management. Previously, we fell into two governing bodies—Rice Creek Watershed District and the Six Cities WMO. The WMO, which operated for 20 years, has now disbanded. We had to look to join other jurisdictions. Council directed us to contact the Mississippi Watershed District. This is an updated joint powers agreement to join that group. This will change them from a five member board to a seven member board to represent our participation. They do give money back to cities through capital improvements. The JPA will have a 20 year agreement. Their plan will be updated every ten years. Nawrocki asked if we would have an equal vote on the board. Hansen stated yes. Nawrocki stated it would be about $30 a year for an average home. Hansen stated we would contribute about $140,000. Our past budget was approaching $60,000 to $80,000. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. E. Consider Implementing the National League of Cities Service Line Warranty Program Hansen stated this would be a warranty program to pay for sanitary sewer and water main coverage. This program is beginning to be used across the nation and is offered by Utility Service Partners from Pennsylvania. They were selected by the National League of Cities. When a problem is encountered, they contact a local plumber to fix the service within 72 hours. In 2013 this opportunity will extend to commercial businesses. Nawrocki indicated concern with our promotion of this program. Buffalo is the only other community in Minnesota that participates. He stated that he pays $74 a year for$5000 of coverage. Hansen stated that this is not standard coverage through insurance companies. This is an alternative that would not be mandated. It is only an option for any homeowner to consider. Nawrocki recommended waiting until others are participating. Schmitt stated that she checked with brokers and they indicated they could not offer this coverage for this cost. She questioned if there would be money coming back to us. Hansen stated there could be a rebate program of 10%that would come back to the city,but we would not choose to use this option as the cost to the resident would be 10%higher. Coverage is $4,000 for each item, up to $8000 total. Peterson stated that the company would market this and it would not be required for residents to purchase this coverage. Hansen stated this would be a one year contract. We would have the option to not renew the contract. Peterson stated this program is approved by the NLC. Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt, to approve the Marketing Agreement with Utility Service City Council Minutes Monday,March 26, 2012 Page 4 of 11 Partners implementing the NLC Service Line Warranty Program in Columbia Heights, and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Utility Service Partners for the NLC Service Line Warranty Program.

Adopt Resolution 2012-031, Being a Resolution Awarding Street Striping; Resolution 2012- 029, Being a Resolution Awarding Crack Sealing; and Resolution 2012-030, Being a Resolution Awarding Seal Coating Hansen stated that we have participated in this program for the last seven years. With a large contract like this, the price is considerably better. There are now 12 cities participating. With oil prices we anticipated a ten percent cost increase.

Adopt Resolution 2012-032, Being a Resolution Restricting Parking on 49th Avenue at Columbia Heights High School Peterson stated this was brought to us by residents of the area.

After viewing the area, staff determined it was a concern. We met with the School District and the County Road Division to discuss the parking City Council Minutes Monday,March 26,2012 Page 5 of 11 restriction. Hansen described the restrictions designated in the resolution. Nawrocki stated that he has not seen a problem there, except during football games. This would remove some parking from the gym. He questioned the need for this. He asked if this was brought to the Traffic Commission. Hansen stated no, this was discussed with the County and the Schools that this would impact. This would remove about two parking spaces. Hansen stated this is for the pedestrians crossing the street. Hansen stated that the County would have liked this distance extended even further.

City Council Minutes Monday,March 26, 2012 Page 6 of 11 ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION - None ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager Linda Magee, Acting City Manager, listed items for discussion at the April 2, 2012 City Council Work Session. She indicated there is an EDA meeting the same evening at 6:30 p.m. Nawrocki asked about leaf pick up. Hansen stated that yard waste collection begins next week. It is advertised in the Heights Happenings and on our web site. Branches must be in a 3 x 3 foot bundle, and other yard waste needs to be in compostable bags or wheeled yard waste carts. Carts were offered last year and we now have over 100 users that have the curb side weekly pick up. Diehm stated that our new city web site is very user friendly. She complimented staff Nawrocki thanked the City Manager for getting a trash barrel at 47th and Central and for the clean up around the area. Nawrocki indicated disappointment on the length of time it took to get the liquor financial report. He referred to the utility bills, stated they do not indicate the difference in the prior rate and the rate increase. Nawrocki stated that the Board of Review will be held on April 9th. This should be broadcast on cable TV. The Cable Commission has not met for a year and we used to get a report on the number of cable users. Maybe there should be a meeting or abolish the commission. Magee stated that the City does get the monthly reports. We can indicate the participation penetration rate. Nawrocki indicated complaints he has received on cable rates. Magee stated that at the last Council meeting there were appointments to the Boards and Commissions and it was indicated on the Council letter that the Telecommunication Commission would be inactive. Nawrocki requested the City Planner find out if the taxi auto garage at 5009 University Avenue has room to park a "for sale" vehicle in it. He also indicated that the dumpster in the back of the building has trash and tires around it. Report of the City Attorney—nothing to report. Nawrocki questioned why the City Attorney would not allow the Library Task Force addresses to be public information. Patty Muscovitz, City Clerk, stated that was a State Statute requirement. Peterson asked if there could be clean up around the bushes along Central Avenue. With the windy weather we are having, trash is collecting along the Avenue. Hansen stated that cleanup on the Avenue will be done on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. CITIZENS FORUM Steve Smith, 3813 Lincoln Street, representing 4031 Jackson Immaculate Conception, indicated that the church had both a broken sewer line and water line breaks. The city staff responses were almost immediate. Both situations were taken care of within 48 hours, allowing their events to not be affected. Hansen stated that staff takes care of this and he indicated his appreciation for the work they do. Peterson also stated he wants staff to know Council's appreciation for the work they do. Peterson stated: Don't forget our service men and women. Keep them in your prayers. He stated he would like to look into Columbia Heights becoming a yellow ribbon community. It involves welcoming our service men and women home. There about five communities banding together to do this. Peterson asked for Council members' agreement, which he received. Nawrocki suggested speaking to VFW Post 230 about this. City Council Minutes Monday,March 26,2012 Page 7 of 11 Peterson stated "Don't take ourselves too seriously and do a random act of kindness".
