Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, to approve the Consent Agenda items with the exception of items C and D,which were removed for further discussion. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Discussion Items: Item C. Establish Date for 2013 Public Special Assessment Levy Hearing for: Zone 7 Street Rehabilitation and Delinquent Accounts: Councilmember Nawrocki asked Hansen if we could let people know where this work is being done and who will be affected and stated we should do this hearing at a regular council meeting as opposed to a separate meeting. Hansen stated the 2013 Street Rehab project is in the northeast quadrant of Innsbruck Pkwy. This is currently where all the concrete streets are located. In terms of the assessment amount,they will be at the noticed amounts which are under the estimated amount. The total project is $710,000 and the assessed amount is $350,000. This breaks down to just over$3,000 being assessed per lot. Nawrocki asked about the delays and or problems with the project. Hansen stated it was delayed at the start by two weeks and the contractor is hustling to complete it by the end of the month. Nawrocki wanted to know why the meeting is not held at the next council meeting. Hansen stated past history is that we pass this the first Monday in October. Hansen also stated that more residents would more than likely come for a special meeting that is dealing with their issues than just a regular council meeting and we have done it this way for the last 15-16 years. Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams, to establish Monday, October 7, 2013 at 6:30 PM as the Public Special Assessment Levy Hearing for City Project#1302 Zone 7 Street Rehabilitation, to be held in the City Council Chambers. Upon Vote: Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams,to establish Monday, October 7, 2013 at 6:45 PM as the Public Special Assessment Levy Hearing for Delinquent Accounts, to be held in the City Council Chambers. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Item D: Authorize the Capital Equipment Replacement of Unit#300 Pickup Truck: Hansen stated the request before the Council tonight is a 2013 budgeted item. This vehicle is primarily used by our utility foreman and is used on a daily basis. We typically pass down the used vehicle for other seasonal use and get rid of the oldest vehicle in the fleet. 10 City Council Meeting Minutes Monday,September 9,2013 Page 4 of 7 Nawrocki expressed his concern with it costing more to maintain vehicles then to purchase new. He asked; if we are going to continue to use them, why replace them. Hansen stated the current vehicle is 17 years old. It will not be used as a daily use vehicle, instead it would be used by seasonal employees which is appropriate as transport vehicle only.Nawrocki indicated that 60,000 miles are not a lot of miles. Hansen stated it is also a 17 year old vehicle that is starting to rust and it should not be used for emergency service. Nawrocki asked Hansen how long the department would continue to use it for. Hansen replied approximately another two years. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt, to authorize the replacement of Unit#300 and purchase one(1)new Ford F250 Super Cab 4x4 3/ ton pickup truck from Roseville Midway Ford in the amount of$28,842.38 plus sales tax. Funding shall be equally from the Utility Capital Equipment funds 432 and 433. Upon Roll Call Vote: Schmitt; aye,Williams; aye, Diehm; aye,Nawrocki; nay, Peterson; aye. 4 ayes: 1 nay. Motion Carried. Peterson asked Hansen if he could give the Council a list of vehicles in their fleet and the ages of vehicles. Hansen stated he will include that in the Public Works Budget Book. Schmitt asked if they could also include when the anticipate replacing them. Hansen replied that is also included in the Budget Books. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS There were no public hearings. 7. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions Adopt Resolution 2013-75,being a resolution adopting_a proposed budget for the year 2014, setting the proposed City levy, approving the HRA levy, approving a tax rate increase, and establishing a budget hearing date for propelly taxes payable in 2014. Fehst stated at the work session staff made a presentation to the Council and it basically summarized what was in his budget message to Council. Nawrocki asked Hansen if he had looked into the street light being out at the intersection of Mulcare and Polk Place. Hansen indicated he would try and get a status update for him. Fehst stated he was a little surprised by the fact that is still out as the utility company generally addresses these issues within a week or two. Fehst continued and stated the City will be staying with a five year plan and the City is proposing to use the LGA funds as part of their long term plan. We are asking Council that out of the$500,000, that the City put$300,000 towards the Capital Building Fund for a new library and $200,000 towards the Park program to be used in making our waiting pools handicap accessible or by possibly making one big nice pool at the Murzyn Hall site and removing the other pools as it would be more expensive to make them all compliant. Fehst went on to say, there is a proposed tax increase in the levy of 3.68%. Twenty eight percent is the burden of fiscal disparities. Three quarters of the city, for the last 3 years prior to this year, have experienced a zero percent increase. Last year we had a large spike in the northeast section due to property valuations,this according to the County will be rebalanced to some degree this next year. This is the last year of the 5 year plan. We have proposed a 1.5% increase in expenditures and this does raise the levy,but a tax holiday may seem like a good idea at the time,but you can't count on the State to finance the City in the future. If you give a zero percent increase and want to maintain the same level of service the 11 City Council Meeting Minutes Monday,September 9,2013 Page 5 of 7 following year we would have to raise taxes by 8.8%. It is better to be consistent. Over the long run, the holiday fund does not stop raising taxes. We are hoping that the Council acts tonight so we can report to the County. Nawrocki commented that property taxes levied between 2003 and 2012 have almost doubled from 5 million to almost 10 million. He acknowledges that there have been some changes in aid to help reduce the impact to tax payers. The debt to the City has almost quadrupled from 6 million to 24 million. The City's concern is about increases to levy,but does not hear any discussion about decreases in expenditures. The Columbia Heights tax payers pay pretty high taxes compared to the rest of the county,plus we have the lowest household income in the 180 cities. We have had over 1,200 families in Columbia Heights that have lost their homes, in part to the high property taxes. We need to help the residents with this burden. There should be no need for a levy increase nor should the LGA money be used for the library. For those who think we need a new library because of mold, he has talked to Hansen and the Librarian and they have indicated there is no mold in the library. There is a $100,000 in sales tax that we will not have to pay next year,plus we have a$500,000 increase in LGA. We should be able to make some reductions and provide general services that people expect. Diehm felt it was important to understand that this is really a multi-step process. What we do tonight is adopt a maximum levy amount and we go into work sessions and have presentations from our department heads on their department's budget and then in December we adopt the final actual budget. Nawrocki stated he hears this same thing year after year that we can reduce the budget before we adopt it, but it has always stayed the same. Peterson stated we have three months to work on the budget to shave off any extras. Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-75,there being ample copies available for the public. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2013-75,being a resolution adopting a proposed budget for the year 2014, setting the General, Library, and EDA proposed levy, approving the HRA levy, approving a tax rate increase, and establishing a budget hearing date for property taxes payable in 2014 of December 9, 2013 at approximately 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers. Discussion: Motion by Nawrocki to amend the motion to eliminate the 3.68% levy increase. Motion dies for lack of second. Motion by Nawrocki to amend the motion to eliminate the $300,000 LGA funds being transferred to the Library Capital Building Fund. Motion dies for lack of a second. Peterson stated we have not decided to move ahead for a new library at this point. It is not a new idea that we need a new library; we have been trying to move ahead since 1999.Nawrocki stated a new library would be nice to have but it is not necessary at this time. Diehm added that we have not made the decision to add a new library,but we have had a majority understanding that 12 City Council Meeting Minutes Monday,September 9,2013 Page 6 of 7 our existing library cannot remain in its existing state and we should be smart and set money aside. Motion by Nawrocki to amend the motion to reduce the levy by$100,000. Motion died for lack of a second. Motion by Nawrocki to amend the motion to reduce the property tax levy by$500,000. Motion died for lack of a second. Diehm called the question on the original motion. Roll Call Vote: Schmitt; aye, Williams; aye, Diehm; aye,Nawrocki; nay, Peterson; aye. 4 ayes, 1 nay. Motion Carried. B. Bid Considerations Award bid to All Metro Excavating for demolition of Mady's at 3927 Central Avenue NE Clark stated the City purchased the Mady's property in 2012. In January the City applied for a Community Development Block Grant, which we received an allocation of$123,215 in July. There was a lot of interest in the property and seventeen people were there and did walk through the property and we ended up with nine companies that actually did submit a bid. All Metro Excavating received the low bid. This bid is for taking down the building, removing 2 pylon signs, abandonment of sewer line, and filling a large hole on property. Staff is recommending All Metro Excavating with a total bid of$136,333. Schmitt asked what ground cover meant. Clark stated they will not be taking up any additional black top because of soils,but will be backfrlling and putting in grass. Nawrocki asked if there will be soil corrections done. Clark replied no, it does not include that. It centers on the building and refilling where the property is. The item before you tonight is just getting rid of the building. Peterson asked what the costs would be to remove some of the black top and make it look like a little metro park like the Burger King site until it is developed. Clark stated the consultant they have worked with stated we should not disturb the black top at all because of the contamination in the soils below. Peterson asked what the status of the Burger King site was. Clark stated it has a very minor level of contamination that it really starts at the Mady's site. Peterson said he would like to make it presentable in the interim. Schmitt asked what the next step was and if it was to start looking for builders. Clark stated yes, we would do a request for qualifications as the next step. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt, to approve the bid award to All Metro Excavating in the amount of$136,333 for the demolition of Mady's using CDBG funds and Fund 420 for the remaining amount. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Peterson asked when Sheila Cartney's last day with the City is. Clark stated on Thursday, September 12''. Peterson announced that Cartney has accepted a job with the City of Rogers and commended her for the great job she has done and stated she will be missed. Nawrocki wanted to know who the new person in the Community Development Department was. Clark stated she is the new intern who was hired at$12.61 per hour for up to 40 hours a week for September 13 City Council Meeting Minutes Monday, September 9,2013 Page 7 of 7 through mid-December. Nawrocki asked if that was it part of the budget. Clark stated that it definitely was to deal with the cuts that were made. C. New Business and Reports 8. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager Fehst reminded the Council that there is an Executive Session after the meeting tonight to discuss a proposal the City received on the property at 40th and Central Avenue. Report of the City Attorney The building at 40th and Central has experienced a significant tenant change recently and has brought the City into discussions on the building. The City has expressed an interest to see if it can participate in the future of that property. The owners provided a proposal for City to purchase the property and there was an executive session on August 26th,pursuant to state law; the Council has the authority to close that meeting. That meeting was held and his understanding is that we will have additional meetings on this subject. 9. CITIZENS FORUM Mayor Peterson asked if there was anyone in the audience at this time that would like to address the Council to come forward. Catherine Vesley, 5135 Matterhorn Drive, commented on pocket parks stating it is a nice strategy by city's and what they do is plant inexpensive things that can thrive in contaminated soils. You create an attractive area instead of an open area that has to be mowed or black top that has to be maintained. The cost in minimal, a few benches and it would be appropriate for the Burger King site. It also does enhance the street scape and is fairly cheap to do. Nile Harper, 1437 Glacier Avenue NE, saluted the Council and Mayor for allocating funds in the budget for the library. Harper indicated he feels that is progress, a good start, and encouraged the Council to keep going. He expressed that there are hundreds of people in the immediate area that support the Council and a new library.

MAGEE BY: PROCEEDINGS DATE: N0: DATE: 08-22-13 On June 6, 2013, Comcast submitted a letter to the City invoking the renewal procedure set forth in Section 626 of the federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 546 (the "Cable Act") . Section 626(a) (1) of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C. § 546 (a) (1) , provides that if an appropriate written renewal request is submitted by a cable operator during the 6-month period which begins with the 36th month before franchise expiration and ends with the 30th month prior to franchise expiration, a franchising authority shall, within six months of the request, commence a proceeding to identify the future cable-related community needs and interests, and to review the performance of the cable operator under the franchise during the then current franchise term. Comcast's June 6, 2013, letter was submitted during the 6-month window specified in the Cable Act, and the City must therefore commence the requisite renewal proceeding. As indicated above, the § 626(a) (1) proceeding entails ascertaining the community' s cable- related needs and interests and reviewing Comcast's performance under the current franchise. There is no statutory deadline for completing the needs ascertainment and past performance proceeding. While the City follows the formal renewal procedures in the Cable Act, it may concurrently pursue renewal with Comcast pursuant to the informal renewal process described in § 626(h) of the Cable Act, 47 U.S.C. § 546 (h) . The informal renewal process essentially involves contract negotiations. Resolution No.2013-67 which is attached and recommended for adoption by the City Council, would satisfy the Cable Act's requirement to commence a needs ascertainment and past performance proceeding within six months of receiving Comcast' s formal renewal letter. The resolution authorizes the City Manager or his designee to perform all steps necessary or desirable to conduct the necessary proceeding. At the same time, Resolution No. 2013-67 authorizes the City Manager or his designee to engage in informal renewal negotiations with Comcast, if desired. Accordingly, Resolution No. 2013-67 provides the City with the flexibility to conduct the franchise renewal process in the manner that best protects and advances the public interest. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2013-67, being a Resolution Concerning the Commencement of Renewal Proceedings Under the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended. COUNCIL ACTION: 15 RESOLUTION NO.2013-67 A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE COMMENCEMENT OF RENEWAL PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE FEDERAL CABLE COMMUNICATIONS POLICY ACT OF 1984,AS AMENDED WHEREAS, on August 9,2010, the City of Columbia Heights,Minnesota, ("City") adopted Ordinance No. 1583, amending Ordinance No. 1490 (collectively, the Cable Communications Franchise Ordinance set forth in Chapter 11 of the City Code ("Franchise Ordinance")) authorizing Comcast of Minnesota, Inc.

June 6, 2013 CERTIFIED MAIL Mr. Walter Fehst Columbia Heights City Manager 590 40`h Ave NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Subject: FRANCHISE RENEWAL Dear Mr. Fehst: We at Comcast appreciate the opportunity to serve the citizens of the City of Columbia Heights. It is our credo that we will deliver a superior experience to our customers every day. Our products will be the best and we will offer the most customer friendly and reliable services in the market. In living our credo, we look forward to providing broadband services to our customers in Columbia Heights for many years to come. Therefore, we are taking this step to ensure the renewal of our franchise with you. The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 ("the 1984 Cable Act") encourages franchisors and cable operators to reach renewal agreements at any time through an informal process of discussion. However, Section 626 of the 1984 Cable Act also provides for commencement of a formal renewal procedure. To preserve our statutory rights to this formal procedure, this letter is our official notice to you invoking that provision. This letter is not intended to introduce a new formality into our discussions, nor is that the intention of the 1984 Cable Act. In fact, we prefer to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement through informal negotiations,thus making many of the 1984 Cable Act's formal procedures unnecessary. I will be happy to discuss this matter with you, or provide any additional information that you may require. I look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to continuing a relationship that, we believe, benefits both the community and the residents of Columbia Heights. 18 Subject: Franchise Renewal June 6,2013 Page 2 of 2 S'ncerely, Varly� Wemer Sr. Manager of Government Affairs cc: Steve White, West Division President Jim Lewis, West Division Vice President of Government Affairs Michael Ruger, Senior Director of Government Affairs 19 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: September 23, 2013 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO: PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2013-76 BEING BY: Kevin Hansen BY: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AMOUNT OF DATE: 9/19/13 DATE: CITY SHARE AND AMOUNT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ON PROJECTS TO BE LEVIED Consistent with Minnesota Statutes and City Code, the City Council annually adopts a resolution prior to the Special Assessment Public Hearing regarding costs to be borne by the City for public improvement projects.

In addition, when interest rates decrease,the City routinely refunds (refinances) existing debt at the lower interest rates. As discussed at the September 3rd work session, after several years of internally financing these activities, to maintain adequate financial flexibility, staff recommends issuing bonds at this time for these purposes. Attached are two schedules. The first schedule lists the remaining outstanding debt service on the 2006A series bonds which are recommended for refunding. The second schedule lists the current and upcoming projects for which new borrowing is proposed. Analysis The City's bond counsel, Kennedy and Graven, has brought to our attention that the City's charter provides two options for issuing the proposed series 2013A bonds. The City has historically used the ordinance process detailed in the charter. However, the charter's reference to the additional bonding authority available to the City under state statute also provides the option of issuing the 2013A series bonds by the resolution process. For this reason, both a proposed resolution for the bond sale, and an alternate ordinance for the bond sale, are attached with this council letter. Two attorneys from Kennedy and Graven, Steve Bubel and Martha Ingram, will explain these two options at the September 23`d City Council meeting. In addition, Mark Ruff from Ehlers &Associates, the City's financial advisor,will also offer his perspective on these two options at this meeting. The council will then decide between the recommended motions below or the alternate motions below. 61 City Council Letter,page 2 Meeting of September 23,2013 Proposed Bond Sale—Series 2013A RECOMMENDED M OTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-86 there being ample copies available for the public.
