Fehst stated we put it in the budget for legitimate meetings, like League of MN Cities, the Local Government Meeting and other qualifying meetings and it is paid out of the contingency fund. It was talked about at a work session. Nawrocki does not feel we have put this in the budget. Item F: (removed from consent agenda). Discussion on Authorization to Purchase Police Vehicles. Nawrocki was concerned with the number of unmarked cars parked here at City Hall. Nadeau stated they would not have been squad cars if they were not marked. They maybe repurposed cars that the city is using for Recreation or other departments. Nadeau explained to the council the cost to strip out old cars and build up new cars it is approximately$4,800.00. The Crown Victoria was our stable vehicle and they quit making this car. We have to buy new cages, equipment, siren boxes that are made for the new vehicles. Ruggedized computers are more expensive,these are needed and we use them for a minimum of four years. Nawrocki was concerned with the expense of new cars and if they are needed. Nadeau can understand this,but they have heavy use. Most communities are keeping cars on average of no more than four years. Nawrocki asked how many cars the police department currently has. Nadeau indicated there are eight cars total. Williams commended the police 10 City Council Minutes Monday,January 28,2013 Page 5 of 12 department on how fast they are able to check to see if a vehicle is stolen or not and stated having the proper equipment is important. Schmitt was impressed that the chief had the exact amount allocated for this purchase in his budget. Nadeau commented that Ford had not increased their prices over the last year. Peterson stated he was concerned with the size of the vehicles and the size of the officers. He asked if maybe two utility vehicles would be a better purchase than one utility vehicle and one sedan. Nadeau stated they have an issue of some larger officers and if there is more than one officer in the car, which is where they start to see a lack of room in the new vehicles. This is the first pursuit rated vehicle. The utility vehicle costs about $1,900.00 more and gets one mile less per gallon than the sedan. The department will purchase one utility vehicle first to see how the like it and maybe in the upcoming years purchase another one opposed to another sedan.Nawrocki stated he would like to have the mileage that is currently on each of the eight cars. Nadeau indicated he would get this information for him. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt move to authorize the purchase of two 3013 Ford Police Interceptor vehicles, one utility vehicle and one sedan,under the State of Minnesota bid, with funding to come from 431.42100.5150, in the amount of$51,093.00 and that the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to enter into a contract for same. These vehicles will be used as marked patrol cars. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt move to authorize the Police Chief to expend up to $31,376.00 to set up and outfit two marked patrol cars. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Item I; (removed from consent agenda)Discussion on Public Works Blanket Orders for 2013 Purchases Nawrocki asked if Hansen could explain what a GIS system is. Is this equipment or a service that we are buying? Hansen stated GIS is a computer based system that is parcel based of the lots in the city and is sued for different types of mapping throughout the city. Hansen stated the system is a computer based system based on lots and parcels. We can create mapping for utilities like sanitary sewer and water mains. The system is used for zoning and locating property lines and is an electronic data base to store our records in our utility system. Other departments within the city also use this program. The city owns its own equipment and the county supports the system. This item is a renewal of a contract that has been in place since 1996 and is a joint powers agreement between three cities, Columbia Heights, Fridley and Andover.Nawrocki asked how much does this cost per year. Hansen indicated the city spends approximately$15,000 a year. Williams asked if the City of Minneapolis had a GIS system. Hansen stated yes they did and this was one way they were able to track down where that major water break was located within the system. Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-11, there being ample copies available to the public. Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, move to Adopt Resolution 2013-011 Approving the Joint Powers Agreement(JPA) for Geographic Information System Services. 11 City Council Minutes Monday,January 28,2013 Page 6 of 12 Upon Vote: All ayes.

Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion carried. 7. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions Adopt Resolution 2013-012 Approving_Amendment No. 1 to Water Agreement with the City Of Minneapolis Hansen stated we have a contract with the city of Minneapolis to provide us with drinking water. This contract was last updated in 2004 and is considered a long term 30 year contract. In the contract it states the City of Columbia Heights will maintain our water system and the City of 12 City Council Minutes Monday,January 28,2013 Page 7 of 12 Minneapolis will maintain theirs. The primary meter the city has been maintaining since 2004. The city of Minneapolis approached the city to see if the city was interested in turning that meter over to the City of Minneapolis for maintenance and ongoing annual testing. It was replaced in 2006 to a new style meter. Staff cannot see a down side to it. We do look at it daily to monitor water flows to detect breaks. Minneapolis is offering this to all of their wholesale companies, being all other cities. It would save the city about$2800 every two years in testing and calibrating the meter along with the price of a new meter,which is approximately$30,000. Staff is recommending approval of the amendment. Schmitt questioned the information indicated the cost of the testing would be paid by the City of Columbia Heights and then in the draft it stated it would be paid by the City of Minneapolis. Which is correct? Hansen stated it would be paid by the City of Minneapolis. Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, move to waive the reading of Resolution 2013- 012, there being ample copies available to the public. Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, move to adopt Resolution 2013-012 being a resolution approving Amendment Number 1 to the Water Agreement between the cities of Minneapolis and Columbia Heights and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute amended agreement.

New Business and Reports Nawrocki stated he did receive a report from the Finance Director,but he still has questions for him and he will follow up with him as he is not ready to approve it. 8. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager— Fehst informed the public that we had a meeting on January 24, 2013 with the Library Board, Library Task force, Library Foundation, City Council, members of the public,Architects and the Contractor that worked on the proposal of market rate senior housing, a library and City Hall space. The developer, Frank Dunbar approached us, along with Jim Winkle from Amcon, at the turn of the year, with a redevelopment plan of the office building located on 40'h and Central. Dunbar stated the office building was currently 70% vacant and they understood the City was looking at the possibility of building or relocating a library and City Hall. The Council assigned the task force the job of looking into the needs for a library and what they would recommend. The Northeast building would 13 City Council Minutes Monday,January 28,2013 Page 8 of 12 include 20,OOOs.f library and 8,000-9,OOOs.£ for the City Hall. We currently have approximately 33,OOOs.f. of office space in this building and we are maintaining all of the building, yet we are not utilizing all of the space. The 2nd floor of the Northeast building would be amenities for the senior housing and the 3rd -6th floors would be sixty units of senior housing. They would range in cost from $600 - $1,300 per month. There would be some alterations to the parking deck to bring it into connection with the building. We do not have any numbers yet and we do not know what the owner of the building will be asking for the building. If the city could find a way to keep the cost down for the public, we may want to consider this as a renewal for our down town project. It would be 20 year bond on the library and 30 year for senior housing. This building would be a market rate building, with seniors 55 and older and would not be subsidized. It would be run by an outside company. That will free up this building and this site for development,the library building and the area behind the Crestview property. We have had several developers come to us wanting to build zero set back homes. This is before the council and we will be asking the council to meet in executive session to discuss moving or not moving forward on the e property. There was a lot of interest that night at the meeting. Believes everyone should have a say in the project. The Library task force is meeting tonight. Nawrocki has some serious concerns that we are paying about a million dollars in debt service now on the public safety building and the liquor stores. This project would more than double that debt service. Does not feel we need a new city hall and is open on the library. Does not feel the city should be in the rental business. Mayor Peterson said this is just the beginning stages and we should move ahead to see if we can or cannot afford it. Williams was concerned with putting a new facility in an old building. We have land we could build on. Fehst stated we would have to see what we would get out of the building in taxes. Diehm stated the task force does have several areas that they are looking at and to look at this one also and come back to the city with their findings. Nawrocki thought the committee should be looking at costs, operating, debt service and impact to property owners. We need to take it a step at a time and we need to take a look at it. Fehst asked that we keep an open mind and stated this provides us with an opportunity to redevelop in an area that would be in a great location. Fehst reminded the council of the Local Officials Meeting at Murzyn Hall on Wednesday, January 30th,with a social hour beginning at 5:00 PM. and the meeting starting at 6:00 PM. We have a dozen or more boards that show our redevelopment in the city. We will also be talking about the award we just won from the National Chief's Association. Crime has gone down dramatically and we are not the highest crime rate and more. Williams stated the biggest reason we are on a decline is because of Chief Nadeau and what he is doing. Nadeau wanted to stress that it is the community working together that has made the difference and it has been a great experience. Without the support from the community we would not be where we are today. Nawrocki asked what the distribution of the Focus newspaper was. He would like some follow-up and wants to know how many residents are getting the paper.Nawrocki stated he also asked for some information on how the City of Fridley handles paying or not paying for attendance at meetings for their employees and council. Fehst stated he believes they handle it the same way we do, but will check with them. Fehst stated next Monday night we will start with an interview with Keith Roberts for the Planning and Zoning Commission at 6:30, an EDA meeting at 6:45 PM and then an Executive Session to discuss possible purchase of the Northeast property and building and allow the city to consider doing a use study for senior housing, then we will go into the work session to discuss the two items from 14 City Council Minutes Monday,January 28,2013 Page 9 of 12 Public Works. Williams stated we should first try and see what the owner of the Northeast property is looking at getting for the sale of the property. Fehst stated he is probably looking to get what he has the mortgage on which is $4-5 million. William stated this is not a good time at looking at purchasing buildings. Fehst stated we are looking at it from a community development stand point. Nawrocki stated the assessed valuation of that building is currently$4.5 million.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE- RECITED BUSINESS ITEMS 3. Proposed Sale of 4303 Reservoir Blvd Cartney explained that in December 2009 the EDA purchased property at 4303 Reservoir Blvd as part of the Scattered Site Program. At the time of purchase the property contained an existing 750 square foot house that was built in 1918 that had significant structural damage and a detached garage. This lot is about 17,600 square feet. Since then the house and garage have been removed and the lot has been maintained as a vacant lot and has been for sale since February 2012. The list price for this lot is $50,000 the EDA has spent a total of$61,438 on the purchase and demolition for this property; Anoka County has this property valued at$47,300. Novak-Fleck, Inc. is an experienced home builder that has written an offer to the EDA to purchase the subject lot for$35,000 and to build a split-level home with a potential sales price of$220,000. The floor plan submitted meets the Scattered Site Program Guidelines with the exception of the bedrooms, the guidelines require three bedrooms and the plan shows two, the applicant said they could finish a third bedroom in the basement. A site plan was not submitted,but staff is confident this type of home could meet the required setbacks. Staff seeks direction from the EDA whether or not to proceed with the Purchase agreement. If the EDA would like to proceed, a public hearing should be set. Questions/Comments from members: Commissioner Herringer questioned if there would be a real estate commission on the sale.

PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NUMBER: 2013-0102 APPLICANT: Tier 2 Funding LOCATION: 47th and Central Ave NE Grand Central Lofts 2nd Addn. REQUEST: Preliminary Plat Approval,Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements, Site Plan Approval Cartney explained that at this time, the applicant is requesting three approvals to build 9 detached single family homes. They are as follows: 1. A Preliminary/Final Plat approval. 2. The vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements. 3. A Site Plan Approval. The original plan was approved for 11 attached townhome units. BACKGROUND In 2003, a site plan was approved for three condominium buildings containing 66 units each and 21 townhomes in six groupings, with associated open space and a community center. The request is to "replat" the townhome lots and outlot (leaving the condos and community center as is). The townhomes were originally platted as Lots 1-4, Block 1, Lots 1-4 Block 2, Lots 1-2 Block 3, Lots 1-3 Block 4, Lots 1-4 Block 5, Lots 1-4 Block 6, and Outlot B, Grand Central Lofts Second Addition. The community center is Lot 1 Block 7, Grand Central Lofts Second Addition. Ten townhouses have been built at this time. The townhouses were approved with a stucco and stone veneer finish with a half- timber decorative accent. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The subject property is guided Transit Oriented Development in the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Transit-oriented development land use areas typically include a mix of retail, office and higher density residential uses, and are located along University Avenue and Central Avenue due to the frequency of transit service along these corridors. Replacing townhomes with small lot single family homes is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and goals. 25 P &Z Minutes Page 2 February 5, 2013 ZONING ORDINANCE The subject site is zoned MDX, Mixed Use District as are the properties to the south. The properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential and the properties to the north are zoned R-1 Single Family Residential, the properties to the west are zoned GB, General Business. Preliminary/Final Plat As stated before the applicant is proposing the reduce the remaining 11 townhouse lots down to 9 single family lots,by way of Preliminary and Final Plat. This will also cause some drainage and utility easements to be vacated. The townhouses that are built will remain as originally platted as well as the community center. The new Plat Cottages at Grandview will create Lots 1-9 Block 1, Outlot A and Outlot B. Each house will be platted on their own lot. The majority of the lots will be 4,050 square feet while two lots will be 4,350 square feet (originally 2,460). The existing drainage and utility easements for Lots 1-3 Block 4, Grand Central Lofts Second Addition will be vacated and rededicated with the Cottages at Grandview Plat. The roads will remain private, but will be installed in accordance with Engineering standards plates. Site Plan Approval As previously explained the applicant is proposing a new plat to create 9 single family lots replacing the 11 previously approved attached townhouses. The subject site is located in the Highway District of the Design Guidelines. The new single family homes will be part of the association however the exact details have not been worked at the time this report was written. LOTS: The subject property is zoned Mixed Use and does not have specific lot size and setback requirements. The average proposed lot is 4,050 square feet and two lots are 4,250 square feet. The proposed setbacks are front=15 feet,rear--10 feet, sides=5 feet. Each lot will have their own driveway and garage for parking. BUILDING DESIGN: The design guidelines specifically allow the following materials for residential development in the Highway District: wood, consisting of horizontal lap siding with an exposure no greater than 5 inches or wood shakes; surfaces must be painted; Synthetic wood (fiber cement) siding resembling horizontal lap siding, such as Hardiplank and similar materials. As proposed the single family homes will meet this requirement. A hardboard LP siding is proposed with wood and shake accents similar to what is on the townhouses now. The color scheme is neutral (attached). LANDSCAPING: A majority of the original landscaping requirements have been met. The applicant will install 8-9 evergreen trees in the backyard of the new lots. 26 P &Z Minutes Page 3 February 5, 2013 FINDINGS OF FACT Preliminary Plat Section 9.104 (K) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following findings before approving a preliminary plat: 1. The proposed preliminary plat conforms to the requirements of§9.115. Code Section 9.115 is the Subdivision Regulations. The preliminary plat application meets all the requirements outlined in this section. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Replacing townhomes with small lot single family homes is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and goals. 3. The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles. The preliminary plat reduces the number of lots and units in the same area in an attempt to promote good planning design principles. Vacation Section 9.104 (I) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following findings before vacating a street, or other public alley or right-of-way: 1. No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. Drainage and utility easements are being vacated with the new plat on account of the new lot configuration. These easements serve the same purpose as originally approved. 2. The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. The drainage and utility easements that are being vacated are due to lot configuration and new drainage and utility easements will placed on the new lots, therefore serving the same purpose; there is no loss or inconvenience. Site Plan Approval Section 9.104 (M)requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make each of the following findings before approving a site plan: 1. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article The site plan conforms to parameters of the Mixed Use Zoning District and the Design Guidelines, and conforms to all other applicable requirements of the code. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city's comprehensive plan. Tlie site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, as it is a redevelopment initiative that will provide housing along the Central Avenue corridor and provide a mixed use near transit. 27 P&Z Minutes Page 4 February 5, 2013 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no applicable area plan for this section of the city. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of-way. The subject site is surrounding by residential and commercial uses. The proposal reduces the number of units and lots lessening the impact to the area. Cartney told members that the water connections need to be made to the main and that they will be altered somewhat from the original plan. The developer is working with the Public Works Department to do the appropriate connections per the City's requirements. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat, the Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements, and the Site Plan. Questions from members: Little asked if these homes would be part of an HOA. Cartney responded that they would be part of the Master Association and possibly part of the townhouse association as well. Those details are still being worked out by attorneys. He wanted to know if there were any restrictions in the previous plan regarding the units being used as rental property. Cartney said she believed there was,but doesn't know the exact percentage. That issue will be dictated by the association documents. Kinney asked if there would be terracing behind the units due to the steep elevation change, and if there would be any fencing restrictions since the yard areas are so small. Kinney also was concerned that she didn't see any plans for sidewalks in front of the homes and this is supposed to be a pedestrian friendly development as it is in the Transient Oriented Zoning District. Brent Hislop from Synergy and Tom Koosman from Tier 2 (Builder)were present to answer questions. Hislop stated it is their intent and the HOA's that these units be owner occupied. He believes the documents will require 90%+be owner occupied. Hislop then addressed the elevation issues and stated the rear elevations will be similar to what was originally planned if the attached townhomes would have been constructed. He said these detached homes will have lookout basements and the properties will be re-graded accordingly and evergreens will be planted behind the units. Hislop also stated that it will be written into the HOA does that fencing will not be allowed. Fiorendino asked why the developer decided to change from townhouses to detached style homes on small lots to finish this portion of the development. Hislop said the market went through a big change over the last 6 years and this proposal is to meet the current market demand. He said this type of housing is more attractive to today's buyers. Little asked what price point they would be looking at for these units. Hislop thought they would be in the price range of$250,0004300,000. 28 P & Z Minutes Page 5 February 5, 2013 Public Hearing Opened: Paul Biernat from 1070 Grandview Court was there to represent the Condo Building Association and the Master Association. He wanted to make sure the builder and developer are aware of certain issues: 1. The drainage on this entire site is poor. There is flooding and water issues on several of the lots. The drainage pond fills up for at least a day or more and believes that the basements of the proposed homes will flood. 2. The extra water hook ups that aren't used will have to be capped. He wants that done on the inside of the water line so the street is not disturbed. He would also like to see as many of the unused connections get re-purposed for the irrigation system as possible. The Associations do not want the integrity of the private street that was just resurfaced damaged in any way. Hislop agreed with Mr. Biernat and the associations. There will probably be three connections not used for the water lines to the new homes. He is proposing to use two of them for the irrigation system. However,there still may be a need to cap one or more of the hookups and this will require cutting into the street. He has discussed this with the City Engineer who has stated this proposal is inconsistent with City procedure based on an Ordinance passed by the City Council. The City Engineer cannot grant permission to violate an Ordinance. The City Council is the only body who can grant exceptions to Ordinance requirements. Szurek stated this matter will be noted in the minutes of the meeting for the City Council's consideration. Hislop stated that both he and the builder don't want water issues in the basements either. He will double check with the City Engineer to confirm that the current drainage pond design was approved as adequate for the previous development plan. It is possible that something in the system is plugged which may affect how the system functions. He said this new plan will have less impervious surface so it shouldn't make it worse if it was designed correctly to begin with. John Bush from 1070 Grandview Court said he bought his condo as a retirement place. He said the building is basically young professionals with no children or those close to retirement. He was concerned that the demographics of the area will be changed and he doesn't feel it is a"family oriented area". He also mentioned the steep elevations and the open drainage pond as not being a safe environment for children. He realizes that when times are tough,plans get changed,but he doesn't want to see the wrong thing done. He stated he thinks the City owes something to the present owners. Fiorendino asked what he thought would be a better use. Bush said he would rather see townhomes constructed as they wouldn't attract families, and to wait longer for that market to pick up. Fiorendino reminded him that it has been almost 10 years with no progress on that site, and he feels the proposed plan is actually similar to what was originally proposed, except the living units are 29 P & Z Minutes Page 6 February 5, 2013 detached from one another. Bush then went on about the inspector not doing a good job inspecting when the condo buildings were built. He said the windows are poor quality and the units are cold and there is flooding during heavy rains on most of the grounds. These matters are not necessarily inspection related, but quality of construction materials for the most part. Little asked the builder if all the units would be built on speculation of sale. Hislop said they would first construct a model home and when that sells they would start another. Little told Bush that he lives in a townhouse himself and that children live in townhouses too, and there is no way to dictate what type of unit people with children should buy. The market has changed and many young families prefer to be part of associations so they do not have the yard work and outside maintenance to contend with. Little asked Hislop if he had done a market study. Hislop stated that they have worked with the Builder's Association and various Realtors who state this is the type of housing buyers are now looking for. Buyers are looking for units to have enough space,without common walls, and no yard maintenance. This project would most likely attract young professionals who work or seek entertainment downtown and this location provides easy access for that. Kinney again stated that she is concerned that 3/ of the development had sidewalks and that none are planned for this east side. Linda Arnold from 4813 Grand Ave is President of the Townhouse Board. She questioned Kinney about her concern regarding the sidewalks. Kinney stated it is a general requirement for this zoning district. Hislop stated that after reviewing the pictures of the development there are no sidewalks currently along the west side or north side townhouses. The only place there is sidewalks is along the south side of the townhouses, and around the Community Center. That was the way the original plan was approved. Arnold explained that the 9 new units will be part of the Master Association. She doesn't know if it will also be part of the townhouse association or a separate association. Lawyers are working on it so it hasn't been decided yet. It was agreed that the rental restrictions should be similar to the other associations. She stated that the neighbors would like to see 3 BR,plus lofts or dens, rather than 4 BR homes which would certainly attract families with children. Arnold told the Commission that they did a straw poll at their meeting the other night and that 18 out of 19 were in favor of the development. Renee Tasaka from 1120 Lincoln Terrace got a letter regarding this project and didn't understand why. Fiorendino explained she got the letter because she lives close to the area,but she has no direct involvement or responsibility regarding the construction. There was a question about the height of the proposed houses compared to the townhouses that were originally planned. Hislop stated the height the houses are the same as the townhouses that are currently on site. He again reviewed the plan to minimize the elevation or slope behind the houses. Kristin Erickson of 4837 Grand Ave is concerned about the pond flooding once more roofs are added that will drain into it. 30 P &Z Minutes Page 7 February 5, 2013 Karen Kukiella of 4858 Grandview Court said the City Engineer should look at the water running out of the Cheery Heights neighborhood onto their property. Some of the drainage is diverted directly onto the Grandview site. She said that if some of that water was re-directed it may alleviate some of their issues. She said the water from Cheery Heights has washed out the boulder retaining walls in the past. Kukiella said there at least three houses that direct their gutters onto the Grandview site. Szurek stated that is good information and that it will be passed onto the City Engineer so it can be looked into further. Fiorendino asked what input the Engineering has in this process. Cartney explained that the City Engineer reviews and approves the Preliminary Plat and the final Site Plan. Cartney will forward the information discussed at this meeting to him. Andrea owns one of the townhomes on the south end which is on a flatter lot. She said that even her lot floods and has standing water on it when it rains. Public Hearing Closed. Fiorendino told the audience that the Commission will be approving the Site Plan and vacation of the easements,but the City Council is the approving body for the Preliminary Plat.

Report of the Management Company Jennifer Eells, Property Manager, was present to answer any questions from the members. She reported that there has been a substantial amount of turnover in the last few months. She said the north building continues to be filled from the waiting list, and several units in the south building have been leased due to the"rent special", and additional advertising. She also told members that the reports indicate there have been a large number of work orders. Many units have experienced settling which affected the sheetrock and others had water damage from windows leaking and drains backing up. Eells stated they have now established a regular maintenance schedule to have drains cleaned to avoid future water damage. Frost told members that the budgets for both buildings have been completed(see items#9 & 10), the PHA Plan has been done and will be submitted once approved, and that construction projects are all moving ahead as scheduled. 35 HRA Minutes Page 3 October 23, 2012 Brian Hon reported that he met with the Architects for the first floor modernization work. The updates will basically be the same as the other floors, with the exception that the carpeting will not be replaced in the common areas at this time. He expects the project will go out for bids the first week of November. 7. Resident Council Minutes Lyn Miner was not present at the meeting, but the resident council minutes from the last few meetings were enclosed in the agenda packets. Clark stated that Aeon representatives and city staff have been present at the last three Resident Council meetings so they could talk with residents and inform them of the progress being made on the sale of the building. Nawrocki asked the residents if they are satisfied with the information being provided to them. No one present expressed any dissatisfaction. 8. Citizen Forum Leanne Miller from Unit#424 stated that the date keeps getting pushed out further for the sale to be complete. She asked if this was due to getting the financing all in order. Clark told her that getting the financing packages approved and all the necessary approvals from HUD are the two main reasons it is taking this long. He reminded residents and members that staff predicted that it would be an 18-24 month process to complete the sale. He said he still expects it to close by sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2013. 9. Approval of Parkview Villa North 2013 Budget-Resolution 2012-10 Frost reviewed the expenditure and revenue figures for the proposed 2013 budget. The budget increased 0.7% due primarily to property tax increases. Staff recommends adopting Resolution 2012-10 approving the proposed budget for Parkview Villa North. Questions from members: Nawrocki said the spreadsheet on pages N1-N5 were difficult to read. Frost said those pages are CommonBond's spreadsheets and the same numbers are reflected on the City's version of the budget. Clark stated that CommonBond's spreadsheets are more detailed than the City's which take the figures and slots them into different categories to fit our software or accounting format. Diehm stated she hopes the operating subsidy is approved and was happy to see such a small increase in the overall budget. 36 HRA Minutes Page 4 October 23,2012 Motion by Williams, seconded by Peterson, to waive the reading of Resolution 2012-10, there being ample copies available to the public.

There was an overall budget increase of 1.5%, which is due to additional advertising, maintenance/repairs, and tax increases.

Questions by members: Diehm reminded members that both CommonBond's format and the City's were included in the packets.

Award Replacement Toilet Bids Cartney reminded members that on August 6, 2012 the HRA approved a PHA Plan Amendment to include low flow high pressure toilets that will go from 5.5 gallons to 1.6 gallons of water usage. The estimate for the replacements in the PHA plan was $70,000. Staff sent out an RFP with the assistance of Brian Hon, Construction Manager for CommonBond. Three bids came back and after careful consideration staff is recommending Nasseff Mechanical to install the American Glenwall Standard toilet for$81,560. The table below represents the bids on the American Glenwall Standard toilet per the specs, using modernization funds. Nasseff Mechanical $81,560 United States Mechanical $84,773 Bednar Plumbing $127,987 Diehm stated that the bids were more than estimated. Clark said shut off valves and supply hoses will be replaced at the same time. He also said the wall mounted style toilets are more expensive. Nawrocki asked how many RFP's were sent out. Hon replied that the bid specs were sent to these three companies because they had done work at Parkview in the past. Cartney said these three contractors were selected because they are already HUD approved, which is required for them to be able to do the work. Nawrocki thought the bids were high because not enough contractors bid on the project. He would like to see RFP's sent to more contractors in the future. Diehm asked Hon when the work would be done if approved. He said it would be started before year end. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Williams, to approve the contract with Nasseff Mechanical to install the American Glenwall Standard toilets in the north building using modernization funds. All Ayes. MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARING Approval of 2012 PHA Plan-Resolution 2012-12 The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 require all Housing Authorities to prepare an Agency Plan each year and a five year plan every five years. Staff has completed the draft copy of the 2013 Columbia Heights Agency Plan. A summary of the Plan's contents and a full copy of the draft plan with attachments and supporting documents have been made available for review by the public at Parkview Villa's leasing office, City of Columbia Heights Community Development Dept. and the Columbia Heights Library. An informational meeting was also held for residents on October 19th.

After the Public Hearing on October 23, 2012 the HRA Board can make any final modifications to the plan and authorize staff to submit the final document to HUD. It would be transmitted electronically to them. Frost said the Plan is basically the same as previous years. She noted that the possible sale is included in the report. Questions from members: Nawrocki asked why we would propose to purchase a$6,000 computer for the office in 2014 if we are selling the property.

Administrative Updates Clark told members again that staff and Aeon representatives have been attending the last three Resident Council meetings to keep communication with residents open. He also reported that on Friday a huge step was achieved to fill the 1.5 million gap that Aeon needed to complete their financing. MHFA has recommended providing the funds to finish their financing needs. They support this project that will keep Parkview an affordable housing entity that is well maintained for its residents. Clark wasn't sure if this would be a grant or a 30 year financing tool using Federal Home Funds that would be used for the rehab of the building. The final approval should take place Thursday. Nawrocki asked if the City would have any financial responsibility to pay back this funding. Clark told him the City has no responsibility, this is Aeon's financing. We only had to cooperate in the application process for the funds as we are the current owners. Clark said they are still working on the dissolution of the PHA contract. This paperwork has been more problematic, as they keep requesting more information. Ehlers is reviewing the annual Proforma and cash flows to ensure they meet requirements and protect the City's interests. Clark stated he had received a legal opinion regarding the use of the sales proceeds for the commissioners to review. It will be discussed at a later time. It was noted the next regular meeting will be held Tuesday, January 22,2013 at Parkview Villa. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 pm.

Discuss Differences Between a Charter and Statutory President Smith stated that he felt a discussion should be held on the differences between a charter and statutory city. Charts comparing a statutory city and a charter city were passed out to commission members (from 2007) tonight. It should be noted that there have been changes made to the City Charter since 2007 that are not reflected in this chart. President Smith asked the City Attorney if this comparison chart could be updated, and the City Attorney stated yes it could be. The City Attorney explained that we have always been a charter city. Commissioner Jeff Diehm stated that his understanding is that generally a charter city is more restrictive than a statutory city, especially in regard to Chapter 5 concerning initiative, referendum, or recall. The City Attorney gave a brief overview of charter vs. statutory cities. He stated that the number of statutory cities far outweigh the number of charter cities, and that it is easier to go from a charter city to a statutory city. Our Charter Commission has been reviewing many sections of the charter over the past few years to update it. Commissioner Tyler stated that we got as far as the Franchise section(Chapter 10). It was noted that the City of Minneapolis is in the process of updating theirs. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting at 7:47 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.

The SFDL is a mortgage that is subordinate to the first mortgage on the house. In February 2013, Fitzgerald plans to refinance her property with Wells Fargo for a new mortgage in the amount of$49,500. As part of the refinance Wells Fargo is requesting that the City's SFDL mortgage be subordinate to theirs. According to the City's SFDL Policy if the first mortgage is paid off(or refinanced)the City of Columbia Heights' loan automatically moves up in lien position. The new mortgage then takes the lowest lien position on the title of the property. The only way the new mortgage can obtain a first lien position is either to pay of the City of Columbia Heights' loan or to request to have the City's loan subordinated. Home improvements of$9,260.44 were completed as part of this program. The city attorney reviewed the subordination agreement and staff supports the subordination request. Normally, this subordination request could be handled on an administrative basis, but Anoka County's policy is to require a formal City resolution. Granting the subordination for a refinance has been routine for this program. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the subordination request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-19 there being ample copies available to the public. Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2013-19, a Resolution to agree to the subordination of the City Mortgage to Wells Fargo in the amount of$49,500.

The GreenStep Cities program is currently a three- step process that will require implementing a minimum of 16 BPs(Best Practices)consisting of over 30 actions. The City of Columbia Heights is a category `A' City as we are fully developed and located in the seven county metro area (Attachment A). Applying for GreenStep Cities is voluntary and there is no required timeline for completion. Although there are some actions required by State and Metro regulations that would be completed anyway,the City can withdraw from the program at any time. Below is a proposed plan to achieve GreenStep City recognition. 1. Step 1 only requires a Council resolution authorizing the City to apply for participation in the GreenStep Cities program and a copy of the resolution sent with the application.The resolution will need to appoint a coordinator and could, if desired, designate a steering committee (a staff group, existing committees, or authorize a `civic group'be created). In addition,the resolution will need to specify a few BPs to implement initially,or designate a date to propose the initial BPs. Once accepted into the program we can use the website to review instructions for BP actions and track our status. As an enrolled member we will also receive notices for GreenStep meetings and conferences to increase knowledge on the process,learn of opportunities for technical assistance,and funding for projects. 2. Step 2 requirements(Organization through completion of eight BPs): a. Enter information about the City on the GreenStep website. b. Enter energy information on City buildings in the B3 (Building,Benchmarking, and Beyond)website. The Library, Public Works, and City Hall buildings are already in the B3 system due to boiler grant requirements (see Attachment B). C. Convene the GreenStep steering committee,if designated. d. Log actions already taken that qualify for the GreenStep program. e. Select initial BPs,develop a general plan for implementation,and present the proposed BPs to the City Council for authorization to begin work. f. Develop a detailed work plan to accomplish the actions of the initial BPs. g. Begin work to implement the initial BPs. h. Update GreenStep website with City actions and apply for recognition as a Step 2 GreenStep City. 3. Step 3 requirements (completion of all 16 BPs): a. Select remaining BPs, develop a general plan for implementation, and present the proposed BPs to the City Council for authorization to begin work. b. Develop a detailed work plan to accomplish the actions of the remaining BPs. C. Begin work to implement the remaining BPs. d. Update GreenStep website with City actions and apply for recognition as a Step 3 GreenStep City. Analysis/Conclusions: Attached is a table of the 28 BPs for GreenStep Cities (Attachment C). Columbia Heights is a category`A' city and we will need to implement 16 BPs to complete the program. There are several BPs that are required by State and Metro regulations 66 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: FebruaKy 11 2013 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO: PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2013-013 BY: Jesse Davies BY: AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE DATE: February 4,2013 DATE: MINNESOTA GREENSTEP CITIES PROGRAM Page Two that are already in place and should only need a cursory review for specific language concerning sustainability. Other BPs may require modification to comprehensive and capital improvement plans, but since there is no timeline this can be conducted during the nonnal planning cycle. I've highlighted 16 BPs and the resulting required actions(Attachment D)as an example guide. We can coordinate with CERTs, RETAP, etc. for technical assistance, and will look for grant or other funding opportunities.One of the first tasks we should do is review the City's buildings and operations for sustainability actions as a community leader and to reduce costs. Public Works and the facilities maintenance supervisor are currently exploring software programs to manage building operations and develop a capital improvement plan that will incorporate energy efficiency and sustainability designs into future renovations or major repairs of existing buildings. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-013,there being ample copies available for the public. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution 2013-013 authorizing the City to participate in the GreenStep Cities program.

Hansen BY: ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DATE: 1/31/13 DATE: CONCRETE STREET REHABILITATION AND ORDERING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING,CITY PROJECT NO. 1302 Background: Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Concrete Street Rehabilitation. The concrete streets are all within the Innsbruck 3`d Addition plat. This area is generally described as Johnson Street/Pierce Terrace on the west, Stinson Boulevard on the east, Corporate Limit on the north and the Plat Boundary for Innsbruck 3`d Addition on the south. The concrete streets were constructed by the developer in 1961 and 1962 and total 1.95 miles. These streets underwent major rehabilitation in 1983. At that time full and half panel replacement and some partial depth patching was done. In addition, all the transverse and longitudinal joints and cracks were sawed and sealed with crumb rubber. Since 1983 routine maintenance of the concrete streets has included full or half panel replacement,and approximately 20,000 L.F. of joint sealing. More recently,staff has begun to patch joints and cracks with sand mix bituminous. The concrete streets are beginning to deteriorate at an accelerated pace. The streets must be rehabilitated with the thought of lasting 15 to 20 years or snore, or maintained with minimal maintenance and completely reconstructed in several years. Analysis/Conclusions: Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Concrete Street Rehabilitation. Particular issues are summarized below: 1. Rehabilitation Strategies: To evaluate the condition of the street Braun Intertec, a geo-technical engineering consultant,conducted tests on all streets at 100-foot intervals with a dropping weight deflection test. From this,the strength of the road segment was determined. Braun also developed a pavement conditions index. The existing subgrade and aggregate base was found to be adequate. The pavements were visually rated on a scale of 1 (poor condition)to 10 (new pavement). These pavements ranged from 4 to 6,or in fair condition overall. Four concrete cores taken near the center of panels were found to be in good condition. Of the 6 concrete cores taken at the joints,5 were found to be severely deteriorated and only 1 was found to be in good condition. Braun recommended concrete rehabilitation in accordance with MnDOT repair methods. Staff evaluated two treatment strategies to rehabilitate the concrete streets. The initial strategy was to replace most panels or half panels that required joint repair on two or more sides,or panels with two or more cracks or panels that had settled. This strategy was not cost effective. Staff reviewed panels marked for replacement and determined if a less extensive treatment could be done, focusing on joint repair. The limitation of the latter strategy is that the ride quality will only be marginally improved. Also,pockets of standing water will occur at locations where a street panel has settled below the elevation of the gutters along the edge of the streets. It is staff's opinion that this strategy will extend the life of the concrete streets for 15 to 20 years or more, before full reconstruction of the streets will be needed. 99 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of February 11 2013 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2013-017 BY: K. Hansen BY: ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DATE: 1/31/13 DATE: CONCRETE STREET REHABILITATION AND ORDERING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING,CITY PROJECT NO. 1302 Continued—Page 2 2. Utilities Replacement: Utilities have been reviewed in the proposed construction area. Staff utilized structure inspections,televising,history of water main breaks,age of water main and services,leakage testing(independent testing),and previous engineering reports in determining utility recommendations. No water main work is proposed. The water mains were cleaned and lined in 1995 or 1996. Only minor sanitary and storm sewer repairs are needed. 3. Assessment Methodology: Street Rehabilitation in 1983 followed the previous assessment policies. Under the 1999 Alley Construction Program and in subsequent zones, a"unit"assessment methodology was employed rather than using a"front foot'rate basis. The existing assessment policy for this area primarily involves"street'assessments. These streets are not constructed in a typical block style development as seen elsewhere in the City. 4. Scope of Work: Concrete street rehabilitation with full and partial panel replacement,full depth joint and crack repairs,partial depth joint and crack repairs,full depth spot repairs,partial depth spot repairs,routing and sealing untreated cracks,and cleaning and resealing joints and cracks. Concrete panels surrounding sanitary manholes will be replaced with bituminous. 5. Financing: Concrete Street Rehabilitation: The estimated construction costs are as follows: RECOMMENDED NOT RECOMMENDED 1. Concrete Street Rehabilitation $642,318 $829,887 2. Utilities: $ ** $ ** Project funding is proposed as follows: Assessments: $352,083 $462,395 Infrastructure Fund: $150,893 $198,170 Anoka County $ 85,642 $110,652 City of New Brighton $ 53,700 $ 58,670 Sanitary Sewer Fund: $ ** $ ** Storm Sewer Fund: $ ** $ ** The costs and associated funding for utility work(**)will be further developed during the final design.

Street Rehabilitation The proposed rehabilitation work will take place within the back of curbs. It is staff s opinion that the proposed rehabilitation will extend the life of the concrete streets for 15 to 20 years or more,before full reconstruction will be needed. Braun Intertec evaluated the pavements and developed a condition index. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a new pavement, the concrete streets ranged from 4 to 6, or in fair condition overall. Four concrete cores taken near the center of panels were found to be in good condition. Of the 6 concrete cores taken at the joints, 5 were found to be severely deteriorated and only 1 was found to be in good condition. This suggests the concrete streets are beginning to deteriorate at an accelerated pace. The limitation of the work as proposed is that ride quality will only be marginally improved. Also,pockets of standing water will occur at locations where a street panel has settled below the elevation of the gutters along the edge of the streets. Utilities No major water main, sanitary sewer or storm sewer replacement is proposed in this area. For the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems, staff is proposing to replace castings and deteriorated concrete rings supporting the castings. The existing structures are in good condition. FEASIBILITY: The proposed improvement project is necessary to provide consistency with the street rehabilitation policy, cost-effective with the inclusion of partial city funding, and technically feasible as prescribed in the construction recommendations found elsewhere in this report. The project and project elements should be implemented as proposed in this study. The improvements, once completed,will provide a benefit to the properties served. SCHEDULE: Construction is scheduled to begin in late spring of 2013, with substantial completion occurring in the summer of 2013. Council receives Feasibility Report and orders Public Improvement Hearing Feb 11,2013 Public Informational meeting prior to Public Improvement Hearing Feb 26,2013 Public Improvement Hearing and Council orders Public Improvement Project March 4,2013 Council Approves Plans and Specifications,Authorizes Advertisement for Bids March 11,2013 Bid Opening April 11,2013 Council Awards Contract April 22,2013 Begin Construction May 20,2013 Construction Completed August 30,2013 FINANCING: Financing would be a combination of assessments to benefitted properties, 3 105 infrastructure fund including Municipal State Aid funds (population apportionment), and utility funds. The estimated construction costs for each option are as follows: Proposed Infrastructure Other Type of Construction Assessments Fund Revenue Street Rehabilitation $352,100 $150,900 $139,350 Engineering and Administration $ 64,230 The assessments reflect a flat fee of 10% of the construction cost included in the amount to assess for a portion of the Engineering and Administration costs. Percentages proposed to be assessed for street rehabilitation are consistent with the policy for partial reconstruction followed under each of the prior street rehabilitation zones. Utility work performed as part of the Concrete Street Rehabilitation project will be paid for from the appropriate utility fund. ASSESSMENT: Assessments will be in accordance with the City's Street Rehabilitation Ordinance and past practice. Assessments can be based on a per foot basis or a parcel basis. Following the Zone 3 assessment policies, assessments would be on a Street parcel basis. This assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property. 4 106 2013 IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM COLUMBIA HEIGHTS,MINNESOTA ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS-PROJECT NO. 1302 CONCRETE STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM (Section 25, T30N,R24V) I.

The properties to the east are zoned R-2A, One and Two Family Residential and the properties to the north are zoned R-1 Single Family Residential, the properties to the west are zoned GB, General Business. Preliminary/Final Plat As stated before the applicant is proposing the reduce the remaining 11 townhouse lots down to 9 single family lots, by way of Preliminary and Final Plat. This will also cause some drainage and utility easements to be vacated. The townhouses that are built will remain as originally platted as well as the community center. The new Plat Cottages at Grandview will create Lots 1-9 Block 1, Outlot A and Outlot B. Each house will be platted on their own lot. The majority of the lots will be 4,050 square feet while two lots will be 4,350 square feet (originally 2,460). Portions of the existing drainage and utility easements for Outlot B, Grand Central Lofts Second Addition will be vacated and rededicated with the Cottages at Grandview Plat. The roads will remain private, but will be installed in accordance with Engineering standards plates. Site Plan Approval As previously explained the applicant is proposing a new plat to create 9 single family lots replacing the 11 previously approved attached townhouses. The subject site is located in the Highway District of the Design Guidelines. The new single family homes will be part of the association however the exact details have not been worked at the time this report was written. LOTS: The subject property is zoned Mixed Use and does not have specific lot size and setback requirements. The average proposed lot is 4,050 square feet and two lots are 4,250 square feet. The proposed setbacks are front=15 feet, rear=10 feet, sides=5 feet. Each lot will have their own driveway and garage for parking. BUILDING DESIGN: The design guidelines specifically allow the following materials for residential development in the Highway District: wood, consisting of horizontal lap siding with an exposure no greater than 5 inches or wood shakes; surfaces must be painted; Synthetic wood (fiber Page 2 170 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission February 5, 2013 Cottages at Grandview Case # 2013-0102 cement)siding resembling horizontal lap siding, such as Hardiplank and similar materials. As proposed the single family homes will meet this requirement. A hardboard LP siding is proposed with wood and shake accents similar to what is on the townhouses now. The color scheme is neutral (attached). LANDSCAPING: A majority of the original landscaping requirements have been met. The applicant will install 8-9 evergreen trees in the backyard of the new lots. FINDINGS OF FACT Preliminary Plat Section 9.104(K)of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following findings before approving a preliminary plat: 1. The proposed preliminary plat conforms to the requirements of§9.115. Code Section 9.115 is the Subdivision Regulations. The preliminary plat application meets all the requirements outlined in this section. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Replacing townhomes with small lot single family homes is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and goals. 3. The proposed subdivision contains parcel and land subdivision layout that is consistent with good planning and site engineering design principles. The preliminary plat reduces the number of lots and units in the same area in an attempt to promote good planning design principles. Vacation Section 9.104(1)of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following findings before vacating a street, or other public alley or right-of-way: 1. No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. Drainage and utility easements are being vacated with the new plat on account of the new lot configuration. These easements serve the same purpose as originally approved. 2. The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. The drainage and utility easements that are being vacated are due to lot configuration and new drainage and utility easements will placed on the new lots, therefore serving the same purpose; there is no loss or inconvenience.

The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article The site plan conforms to parameters of the Mixed Use Zoning District and the Design Guidelines, and conforms to all other applicable requirements of the code. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city's comprehensive plan. The site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, as it is a redevelopment initiative that will provide housing along the Central Avenue corridor and provide a mixed use near transit. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no applicable area plan for this section of the city. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of-way. The subject site is surrounding by residential and commercial uses. The proposal reduces the number of units and lots lessening the impact to the area. RECOMMENDATION Motion: That the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the preliminary plat based on following conditions of approval that have been found to be necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including: 1. Each lot will require erosion control measures — they need to be installed and inspected by the City prior to any site activities beginning (as lots are built). 2. Catch basin inlet protection shall be provided on the downstream catch basins. 3. All work within public easement shall be inspected by the City Engineering Department. 24-hour advance notice of an inspection is required. 4. At the street cuts — the street restoration shall be in accordance with Engineering standard plates. The pavement wear course was placed in 2012, which requires curb to curb pavement restoration. 5. Curbing installation shall meet City standard plate requirements. 6. New sewer and water service installations and service disconnects shall be inspected by Public Works.

This is an ordinance requirement found in 4.130 of the City Code. It states: "Ail service pipes that become useless or abandoned, including previously abandoned or unused services upon discovery of the same, must be permanently closed off and capped at the water main by the properly owner." This is not a new code section and has been in place for decades. I believe it is extremely important in protecting the public health and liability of the City in two areas: First- by properly disconnecting the water service, it eliminates a potential leak source in public ROW. Secondly, due to locating law changes in 2006, we are required to provide service locates for all public service lines within the ROW. A mismark of an unused service, or failure to mark, subjects the City to liability if the service line is damaged or causes damage to the public main. An example would be if a contractor were to hook or pull an unmarked water service line during an underground excavation which could pull it out of the main, potentially causing damage to the main and street. I had this conversation with the Developer and explained to him the City's position, based on the ordinance. His response was to ask what is the variance process from the ordinance. I asked him to detail his hardship case? Cost of the work or age of street is not a hardship case. We have several examples of service disconnects in new streets and that were costly (ex. - demo lots for redevelopment; and O'Reillys had 4 disconnects out in Central Avenue). This is an example of why it is very important to follow and enforce the City Code.
