Adopt Resolution 2012-51, being a Resolution to request Anoka County Levy funds for the purchase of 3927 Central Motion by Williams, second by Diehm,to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-51, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Williams, second by Schmitt,to adopt Resolution 2012-51, being a Resolution requesting all unobligated funds, fiscal year 2008-2012 from the Anoka County HRA Levy and appropriation from City Fund 420 for the purchase of 3827 Central Avenue. Nawrocki questioned if we can discuss this and referred to a memo from Scott Clark, Community Development Director, regarding what was discussed in closed session was not accepted by the developer. Clark stated in March of this year the City received a commercial letter of intent to purchase 3827 Central, owned by the Mady/Foss Partnership. The EDA reviewed the letter and determined to proceed. Part of the process was to accept the 7:23. The next step after the EDA accepted the purchase agreement was to identify the source of funds to pay for the property. That is what this resolution is to determine. The recommendation includes Anoka County HRA funds; which can only be used for housing or redevelopment. The additional dollars sought are from Fund 420, the Capital Redevelopment fund. Right now we have a verbal agreement from both of the parties and that was what the agreement was based on. After the EDA approval of this agreement,they wanted other considerations. We will see if they accept the purchase agreement within the next several weeks. This business will not be transacted until we have a signed purchase agreement. Schmitt questioned the"Make Heights Your Home"program. Clark stated we had this program for five years, with a few people participating, but the program never really took off. Nawrocki spoke against the motion as we have no particular use for the property, the price of the property, and possible unanticipated costs and soil correction. The current building was built on the back of the lot because of soil contamination.Nawrocki referred to the property value and past purchase prices. This would take the property off the tax rolls. We paid too much for the place next to it. Schmitt stated she has reservations because she does not like that the seller changed the process mid-stream. Diehm indicated that this action is to approve what the EDA has recommended and the funding. This is not authorizing any changes. Changes would have to be approved by the EDA. Schmitt questioned if this would limit property use. Diehm stated this is only what was discussed at the EDA.Nothing after that point is included in this action.

The Planning Commission approved this with a 3-0 vote. Sargent suggested a time frame be established this evening. Schmitt questioned the storage of trailers on the south side, by a tree. Sargent stated there is room on the property to move things around. He would be required to comply with our regulations. Sargent showed the owner's drawing of the site. The pallets have been moved inside a building. Schmitt asked if they would remove the tree. Sargent stated this may be determined by what area they pave. Nawrocki stated the property was a mess. There is debris by the tool shed. On the north end there is a semi-trailer that is only a partial vehicle. Sargent stated there are some zoning issues on the property. The first thing we requested was that he obtain a conditional use permit. The second step will be to correct the zoning issues. We need to establish a time line. We want to bring this property into compliance. Sargent stated the owner is willing to work with the city and has cleaned up the area. Schmitt stated this is his busy season and asked if he requested a specific time line. Sargent suggested staff discretion to determine compliance with the CUP. Hoeft stated the CUP is not a time line, it is either done or it is not and that staff is asking to determine a time line. Nawrocki suggested tabling this item to get obtain more details.

POLICE APPROVAL , . ITEM: Approve Transfer of Funds for Safe and Sober BY: Scott Nadeau BY: j�/�iL grant reimbursement and AHDTF Overtime DATE May 17,201 y ,2012 DATE: grant reimbursement from General Fund to Police Dept Overtime Line Item#1020 NO: BACKGROUND The Columbia Heights Police Department has been participating in the statewide Safe and Sober program. We have been reimbursed by Coon Rapids, the agency coordinating the grant, in the amount of$6,214.16 for the overtime expended on that initiative. In addition, the Police Department has an officer in the Anoka-Hennepin Drug Task Force(AHDTF). The AHDTF is partially funded by a federal grant administered by the State of Minnesota that covers partial reimbursement of overtime incurred by the AHDTF officers, For the first quarter of 2012, the Police Department has received a check from Anoka County in the amount of$2,000 as partial reimbursement for the overtime of our AHDTF Officer. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION The$8,214.16 received from these two sources was deposited into the General Fund. The Police Department is requesting that these funds received from be transferred back into the 2012 Police Department Budget, Overtime line item. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to transfer the following from the General Fund to the Police Department 2012 Budget,Overtime Line Item 1020: $6,214.16,the amount of money received from Coon Rapids,the grant administrator for the Safe and Sober program;and$2,000,the amount of money received from Anoka County as partial reimbursement for the department's AHDTF Officer. COUNCIL ACTION: .. _ ......_... 20 CITY COUNCIL LETTER y- Meeting of May 29,2012 AGENDA SECTION:Consent ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT CITY MANAGER NO. POLICE APPROVAL: �� ITEM: Approve Transfer of Public Safety Building BY: Scott Nadeau /n" BY: �C'/ Range Rental Fees to be Used for Range DATE: May 16,2012 DATE: Maintenance NO. BACKGROUND: The Columbia Heights Police Department leases out use of the gun range at the Public Safety Building to various other law enforcement agencies including the Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale and Woodbury Police Departments. To date in 2012, the department received $5910 in Range Rental Fees. These amounts were deposited into the city's General Government Rents account. In addition to generating revenue through rental of the Range,the fees collected were anticipated to be used for maintenance to the gun range when that would become necessary. In March 2012,DC Management and Environmental Services,Inc.performed maintenance on the range to include the removal of the bullets from the bullet trap and replacement of the rubber protective sheets. This work is required periodic maintenance, and DC's bid was the lowest of three companies who were contacted. The final cost of the work was$3,143. Related to this,Veolia Environmental Services quoted an amount of$613 for removal and disposal of the bullet trap(lead contaminated debris). The hazardous nature of this material drives the cost of disposal. In addition, $215 in supplies have been purchased for repairs to a target carrier in the range. These repairs were accomplished in-house. An ongoing range maintenance item is the purchase of replacement filters'at a cost of about$200 for a case. These 24x24x2 filters are positioned ahead of the more expensive Micretain 07XS (hepa)filters. There is currently an adequate supply of the hepa filters, but we are requesting $200 be added to this transfer to cover the purchase of an additional case of pre-filters. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION: Based on the necessary maintenance to the range's bullet trap, we are requesting to transfer$3,756 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees to the Police Department's Expert and Professional Services line item for maintenance. Also, that $415 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees be transferred to General Supplies line item 101.42100.2171 for purchase of items for the repair of the target carrier, and the filters necessary for range maintenance. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to transfer$3,756 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees to the Police Department's Expert and Professional Services line item 101.42100.3050. These funds will be used to reimburse funds expended for range maintenance performed by DC Management and Environmental Services and for the removal and disposal of the bullet trap performed by Veolia Environmental Services. 21 Council Letter May 16, 2012 Page 2 Move to transfer $415 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees to the Police Department's General Supplies line item 101.42100.2171. These funds will be used to purchase supplies for repairs to the target carrier and for purchase of filters necessary for range maintenance. COUNCIL ACTION: 22 CITY COUNCIL LETTER MEETING OF: MAY 29,2012 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPT: CITY MANAGER FINANCE APPROVAL ITEM: RESOLUTION 2012-56 AMENDING BY: JOSEPH KLOIBER BYf j� THE 2012 STREET DEPARTMENT BUDGET TO UTILIZE PARKING MAINTENANCE DATE: MAY 11,2012 FUNDS COMMITTED BY RESOLUTION 2010- 138. Background This is in follow up to the discussion at the April 2, 2012,work session regarding the funding of the maintenance costs of the City-owned parking ramp associated with Fairview Clinic at 40th Avenue NE just west of Central Avenue, and the City-owned surface parking lot on the south side of 40th Avenue NE across from the parking ramp. In that work session, various issues and funding options were presented to the council by staff, and council directed staff to perform further research on these matters. A summary of the research results is as follows: 1981 The City and Anoka County entered into a joint powers agreement that transferred the former Anoka County parking lot between Central and Van Buren, south of 40th Avenue NE, to the City for$0. This property was then combined with adjoining property owned by the HRA to form the current parking lot. The agreement states that major maintenance costs of the lot will be paid 60%by the County and 40%by the City, in perpetuity. However,both parties must agree that a given item is major maintenance; otherwise the City is responsible for the cost. 1982-1983 Project#8222 constructed/reconstructed two municipal parking lots between Central and Van Buren, one north of 40th Avenue, and the one south of 40th Avenue described above. All properties from 39th street to 41st street, on both sides of Van Buren and the west side of Central,were assessed for a portion of the cost. The cost allocated to each property varied based on the results of a parking analysis prepared by the HRA's consultant. The assessments were for 15 years at 15% interest(resolution 82-44.) 1985 As part of a redevelopment agreement with Columbia Park Clinic, a parking ramp was built over the top of the parking lot north of 40th Avenue. The properties included in the redevelopment agreement agreed to assessments for 50%of the construction cost of the ramp. With principal and the high interest rates of the 1980's, this 50% share amounted to total annual assessments of approximately$95,000 for 15 years. 1986-2010 In addition to the assessments referred to above, the City and HRA had TIF and other sources available to fund these construction projects. The unspent balance of assessments remaining after construction was kept in City Fund 405 Downtown Parking Maintenance, and was used to pay the City's share of the annual parking ramp maintenance required under a series of agreements with the Clinic. 2011 A change in reporting standards by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)no longer allowed Fund 405 to be reported as a stand-alone fund. Fund 405 was therefore combined into the City's General Fund 101. The balance however remains committed for the purpose of downtown parking maintenance by resolution 2010-138. Currently, this balance within the General Fund is approximately$113,000. 23 2012 Based on the available research, staff recommends the following actions: To replace the expiring agreement for public parking at the ramp north of 40th Avenue NE, staff will enter into negotiations with Fairview Clinic and report back to the Council. Staff recommends funding the 2012 repair required to the municipal parking lot south of 40th Avenue NE, according to the 60% County- 40% City cost sharing arrangement under the joint powers agreement, with the 40% City share paid from the balance within the General Fund committed for downtown parking maintenance. This would leave enough committed for downtown parking to pay a few years of the City share of annual maintenance on the parking ramp north of 40th Avenue, assuming the City's costs under the next agreement with the Clinic would not be appreciably greater than under the expiring agreement. Note that, although the City's share of both the lot repair and annual ramp maintenance is currently available in fund balance that is specifically committed for this purpose by resolution 2010-138, now that the GASB requires this activity to be included within the General Fund, the 2012 General fund budget must also be amended to utilize these funds. The resolution necessary to do this is attached. To achieve a favorable economy of scale for the parking lot repair, two other similar repair projects are expected to be included in the same asphalt construction package. The funding for these other two projects was/will be addressed in separate actions: • Parking lot repair at Heights Liquor, at 5525 University Avenue NE • Alley repair behind Financial One Credit Union, at 843 40th Avenue NE Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following motions: RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-56, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2012-56, being a resolution amending the 2012 street department budget to utilize parking maintenance funds committed by resolution 2010-138.

The alley reconstruction is located between Jackson Street and Van Buren Street from 40th Avenue to 160'north of 40th Avenue. The attached map displays the alley segment. Analysis/Conclusions: Distributed at the May 14,2012 regular City Council meeting was the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work and estimated costs for the alley segment. The slope from the gutter to end of the proposed reconstruction is 0.54%. This is considered excessively flat grade for drainage. Prior to constructing the alley,storm sewer pipe and catch basins will be installed to maximize collection of storm water runoff. The alley will be reconstructed from 40th Avenue to approximately 160' north of 40th Avenue. Small areas parallel to the alley of the adjacent bituminous parking lots will be reconstructed to match the new alley grade. This will require a construction easement from both properties to match in adjacent parking lots. Financing: The concrete alley reconstruction will be 100%assessed to the two abutting properties. Past Assessments: The Credit Union was assessed for a street or avenue parcel as part of the Street Rehabilitation program in Zone 6 in 2003. The funeral home will be assessed an avenue or street unit,respectively, for seal coat in 2012. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-068,there being ample copies available for the public. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2012-068,being a resolution ordering improvements for concrete alley construction between Jackson and Van Buren Streets from 40th Avenue to 160 feet north of 40th Avenue.

Ten of 21 townhomes have been built and only the first of three 66 unit condominiums have been completed. The economic downturn has certainly impacted this development. The original development plans provided for a private road called Grandview Court. The U-shaped road was built, but the final lift of bituminous was never placed. The Development Contract has been amended four times—the last time on March 2, 2010.

The attached map displays the alley segment assessing the construction of the bituminous wear course on Grandview Court, as required in the development agreement(s),referenced above. In Article 7.1e of the Development Contract,the Developer waives the right of appeal under the State 429 statute. There will be 13 parcels included in the assessment. Two parcels are owned by New Heights Development and 11 parcels are owned by Grand Central Properties,which identify the current developer, Mr. David Kloeber, as the owner. Recommended Motion: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution 2012-069, there being ample copies available for the public. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2012-069,being a resolution ordering improvements and levying and adopting the assessment for construction of the bituminous wear course on Grandview Court.

Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC City Clerk 75 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 29, 2012 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES AND ORIGINATING CITY RESOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT: MANAGER'S NO: CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL ITEM: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE BY: CHARTER BY: NO. 1607, AN ORDINANCE COMMISSION DATE: PERTAINING TO CHAPTER 4, DATE: 5-17-12 SECTIONS 33 &34,NOMINATIONS & ELECTIONS NO: In April,the City Clerk presented a change to the Charter Commission to amend the City Charter section relating to elections; specifically, write-in candidates. This amendment request is to create a new section in Chapter 4 (Section 33),entitled"Write-In Candidates".The intent is to add a section to the Charter requiring general election write-in candidates to file a written request to have their votes counted with the City Clerk no later than seven days prior to the general election. Write-in candidates that do not file with the City Clerk by this time will have their votes counted collectively as votes for a single candidate. The requested language and information was obtained from the City of Blaine that just passed this same amendment to their Charter.It would translate to Chapter 4,Section 33 of our Charter(see attached recommended Ordinance). A significant amount of election close-out time is spent recording individual write-in candidate names. Unfortunately, some voters think it is important to write-in their own name or favorite cartoon character in multiple races. This amendment would eliminate the requirement to record every name, for every office, individually. It would allow only pre-registered write-in candidates to be recorded individually.This,in no way, deters a voter's privilege to cast a write-in vote. The Charter Commission has held two readings on this proposed change(on April 19 and May 10, 2012). This will allow the proper time line for the City Council to hold two readings and, if passed, the 90 days for the amendment to go into effect and be in place for General Election this November. The first reading of this ordinance by the City Council was held on May 14, 2012. RECOMMENDED MOTION:Move to waive the reading of the ordinance,there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1607, being an ordinance amending Chapter 3, Sections 33 and 34 of the Charter of the City of Columbia Heights.
