loan from the Community Development Capital Improvement Fund 420 to the Anoka County
Community Development Programs Fund 202
Kloiber stated in December 2012, the EDA purchased the Mady's property at 3927 Central
Avenue using available funds from the Community Development Capital Improvement Fund
420. Prior to the purchase of the property, the City passed Resolution 2012-51 requesting Anoka

disbursed from the Anoka County HRA. Until the remainder is collected, the City is borrowing
from the fund.

being ample copies available to the public. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.

replacement general government fund 431. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Item D: Adopt Resolution 2013-100 Approving Amendment No. 2 to Water Agreement with the
City Of Minneapolis
Hansen explained that this will only impact the purchase of water, not our rates. There are three
components. 1). Rate Calculation: The current contract details that Columbia Heights will pay an
"inside rate"or percentage of what Minneapolis customers pay. 2). Water supply: The City of
Minneapolis will be able to drill groundwater wells in Minneapolis, if need be. 3). Frequency of
the Cost of Service Study(COS): The current contract calls for updating the COS every five
years, this changes it to every three years. This averages it out so not to impact residents as
much if we have a really dry or really wet year. Nawrocki asked if this is an increase that we are
paying to the City of Minneapolis,but not an increase that the residents are paying, and if not,
when do we expect an increase to the residents will happen. Hansen replied it defines the rates;
it does not impact the rates directly right now. In 2014 it will be the fifth year of a five year plan.
Nawrocki stated somewhere along the lines, the cost will go up. Diehm stated this is consistent

with our five year plan. Hansen stated we already took the cost increase into account in our five
year plan.
Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams,to waive the reading of Resolution 2013-100, there
being ample copies available to the public. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
Motion by Diehm, seconded by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2013-100,being a resolution
approving Amendment Number 2 to the Water Agreement between the cities of Minneapolis and
Columbia Heights and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the amended
agreement. Upon Vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.

Report of the City Manager
Fehst recognized that the Council members each received a copy of a letter from a resident regarding
the concrete repairs that were done along Argonne. The complainant stated that some areas were
painted white and some of the panel replacements were not perpendicular. Hansen indicated the
white paint was the sealant and it would all blend in after a year and the panel replacements have
never been perpendicular as they are usually irregular. Hansen also stated most of these are astatic
issues. There were some areas that were brought up about uneven spots in the pavement and the
contractor has diamond ground those areas and the Public Works Department is keeping an eye on
them and we will continue to monitor these issues in the spring. Nawrocki asked that Hansen reply
to the complainant in writing. Hansen indicated that he will do so.
Fehst indicated that Council member Schmitt attended the Met Council Thrive meeting and she
talked with District 13 Representative, Jon Commers, about having the next meeting in Columbia
Heights. Fehst followed up with Commers on some dates to meet and as soon as a date is
confirmed, he will let the Council know and will advertise it so residents will be informed as to the
when and where. It will be in the evening sometime between 6-1 OPM. Fehst stated a letter went to
the County to consider appointment of Council member Schmitt to the Rice Creek Water Shed
District. Fehst also stated the City continues to work with HUD and with Aeon on the purchase of
the Parkview North and South. Fehst stressed that the City wants to preserve senior housing.
Nawrocki brought up as to what the cost was for our annual fee for the MWMO. Hansen stated as
soon as he gets a response from them,he will let Council member Nawrocki know.
Nawrocki reiterated that no money would be distributed to the Arts Commission therefore; they
should be told that they need to keep their own minutes and set up their own meetings, etc. He also
brought up at the last meeting about the copper being removed from the light poles and the fact if

these lines get hit by lighting that it could be a serious thing. Hansen stated that staff has had
conversations with Xcel and they are aware of the continuous cycle of copper theft and Hansen will
inquire what their plan is to replace it in Columbia Heights. Peterson suggested that the resident that
called Nawrocki call Xcel and report where the copper is missing. Nawrocki stated he would like to
see a copy of our contract with Xcel. He would also like to know what follow up we are going to
have on the diseased tree at 4440 5th Street. Hansen stated he would get that information for him.
Nawrocki commented that the couch was picked up in the alley at 4911 Central Avenue,but now
there were bags left by the dumpster and would like to know who is responsible for the trash
container. Nawrocki indicated that a resident contacted him that they are not receiving the Focus
paper and they live in an individual unit behind the old Kmart site. Fehst stated that the Focus will
not deliver to apartment buildings,but they should be delivering to individual residential homes.
Nawrocki informed Fehst that he would also like copies of the bids the City received for the City
luncheon.

Hansen and Windschitl conducted the tour of several city parks.
Huset Park West. Hansen indicated bids were taken for the compliance repairs to the wading
pools. The bids to repair one pool at a time were very high,around$75,000 per pool. The next
step is to receive bids to repair two pools in the same year and see if the cost is lower.
Hansen asked if there would be interest among the members to have one splash pad in the park
system in lieu of wading pools. Stroik replied yes the St. Anthony splash pad is very nice,highly
used and has the benefit of being accessible by all. She asked if the garage behind John P.
Murzyn Hall could be tore down for the use of that space. Hansen and Windschitl replied that the
garage is used for multiple storage needs in both departments. Stroik asked about using fencing
instead of the building. Peterson indicated that is not the safest option and makes it hard to hide
what is in the area.
Peterson reminded the members that the Fights in Heights event will be held at Murzyn Hall on
September 15 beginning at 5:00 p.m.
McKenna Park. The members commented that the new playground looks good. Hansen
displayed the McKenna Park master plan. The parking lot will be installed next year. The plan
also shows two small fields with walking trails to the fields and playground. Greenhalgh asked
15

how often the hockey rink is used. Windschitl replied that a resident uses the rink every weekend
for a group to play volleyball. The neighbors around McKenna Park like having the group use
the park and have called to voice their approval and ask for the lights to be put on for them in the
fall. He stated the two ball fields are well utilized by the recreation programs such as T-Ball,
Squirts Baseball,Traveling Baseball,Girls Softball, and Youth Soccer. A Twins Grant was
received for the fencing behind the home plate at both ball fields. Windschitl stated the park
building has extensive use for two summer youth programs and is also occasionally rented for
private functions.
Sullivan Lake Park. Hansen reported staff has done a lot of work to clean out a view of the lake
from the shelter. There are DNR restrictions on the amount of plant material that can be removed
around the edge of the lake. Members commented it looks very nice. Hansen indicated the
current trail is four and a half to five feet wide and splits into two paths for bikes and pedestrians
but is not the proper width around the whole lake. In the next few month staff will pull out the
split trail and install one ten foot wide trail in the area near 53rd Avenue. Eventually the trail will
be 10 feet wide around the entire lake with a few areas at nine feet wide due to conditions in
certain areas. Hansen stated a ten foot wide trail is the standard for a combined use trail with
pedestrians and bicycles.
Hansen reported continued problems with the ballasts for the light poles within the park. The
light bulbs are able to be replaced but the fixture is not. Due to the original installation of the
light poles a lot of breaks occur with the aluminum. Hansen indicated no electrical work is done
in-house. Residents of the Sullivan Shores townhomes continue to request removal of plant
growth to view the lake from the townhomes. Hansen stated the removal of cattails is only
allowed by the DNR if the plants are restricting water flow.
Keyes Park. Hansen reported that Steve Oslund the coordinator for the national hockey day held
here this past winter is interested in doing another hockey day in heights. Hansen reported the
hockey rink surface needs improvement. During the previous hockey day the thickness was very
uneven for the ice to form properly. Staff recommends removal of the pavement inside the rink
to even out the surface to achieve better ice,and to repaint the boards.
Community Garden Plots. Windschitl pointed out the community garden plots to the
Commission. He indicated there are 48 plots, 10 feet by 15 feet,reserved at a fee of$26.78 for
the season. Evans asked if the water is supplied by the City. Windschitl replied yes,the cost is
covered in part by the reservation fee.
Silver Lake Park. Hansen stated this is a small park and that the improvements over the last few
years turned out really well. There are no future plans for changes at this park. The usage of this
park has increased since the installation of the shelter. Hansen reported the public boat landing
on Silver Lake is in the budget for 2014 for improvements. Payne asked if the building is open
for use at the park. Hansen replied no. The building needs a lot of work especially with
plumbing to be used by the public. The exterior of the building is in decent condition so it is
currently used for storage of park department equipment.
Ramsdell Park. Stroik indicated the outfield of the ball field is a disaster and had heard
comments on the condition. Hansen replied the field is in poor condition right now,weeding was
done in the field,the irrigation system is not correct so parts of the field are oversaturated and
other areas are dry. Windschitl reported girls' softball is played on this field during the spring
and summer. A fall softball team will not play on this field due to the condition of the outfield.
They are using Huset 3 for the fall league.

LaBelle Park. The Commission viewed the installation progress of the new playground. Hansen
reported the location of the playground was moved from the master park plan in order to keep as
many existing trees as possible and keep the playground further away from the LaBelle
residences. Hansen indicated the estimated amount to remove the boardwalk is $135,000. He
stated there are six inlets to LaBelle Pond and one outlet flow of water directly to Jackson Pond
behind Rainbow Foods,which then eventually flows into the Mississippi River.
Windschitl reported the police department ran a search for LaBelle Park calls with complaints or
contacts related to the basketball court. The report indicated only two complaints were received
in 2011 dateing back to 2005. Based on that report the conditions do not warrant removal of the
basketball hoops/posts. A memo regarding the findings and decision of the Commission was sent
to resident David Hase in response to the prior request he made to take down the hoops or posts.
A father and young daughter were riding bicycles through the park while the Commission was
gathered and thanked the members for building the playground and improving the park.
NEW BUSINESS
Windschitl informed the Commission of a recent request for a Community Carnival Special
Event. The event would be hosted by the Urban Youth and Children Education Center(UYCEC)
in conjunction with East Africa Family and Youth Development(EAFYD) along with other
sponsors. The request is to use Huset Park East and West,closing off Jefferson Street for the
carnival similar to the Jamboree setup. The request is to hold the event on Monday,October 14
from 1:00 p.m.— 11:00 p.m. and Tuesday,October 15 from 1:00 p.m.— 12:00 midnight. The
event would obtain all required permits. This carnival would be free and open to the public.
Commission members commented that the park closes at 11:00 p.m.,the neighbors need to be
considered as they already take on any inconveniences during the Jamboree Carnival,the request
is on two week night evenings,the cost of having police offers would be expensive as one
officer's rate is $99 per hour,the cost of electricity should be covered by the group,and a concern
with allowing other carnivals that might take away from the Jamboree celebration. Hansen
voiced a concern with the short time frame for this request.
Motion by McDonald,second by Stroik,to decline the request to hold a carnival in Huset Park
on October 14& 15,2013 mainly due to concerns for the neighbors of the park. Upon vote:All
ayes. Motion Carried.

Stroik asked if the number of rentals were down for John P.Murzyn Hall. Windschitl replied no.
Stroik indicated being approached by someone not seeing many events on the marquee in front of
the building. Windschitl replied that there are times when renters do not give the name they
would like on the marquee until the middle or end of the week and staff will then put it up on the
Friday instead of Monday. Having names on the marquee are really meant to help guests know
that they are in the correct location; it is not for means of advertising as it is not a main street.
Evans adjourned the meeting at 7:00 p.m.

ITEM: Increase City Event Wagon Rental Fees BY: Keith Windschid BY:
for 2014 Recreation Director ,
NO: DATE: 11/18/13
BACKGROUND
In 1999, the Columbia Heights VFW Post#230 donated$5,500 to the City to purchase a community event wagon
for the residents of Columbia Heights. This wagon consists of a trailer loaded with many accessories, such as
tables, chairs, and recreational equipment such as balls and other play equipment. The trailer is used by
Columbia Heights businesses and residents to assist them with family gatherings, special events, or community
block parties where people can get to know their neighbors better. Staff delivers the trailer to the address for use
and then picks it up after the event is over.
The Columbia Heights Park and Recreation Commission unanimously approved a rental increase for the event
wagon at their meeting on October 23, 2013. The Park and Recreation Commission feels that we need to cover
increased gas costs, maintenance, administrative costs and equipment replacement costs resulting from the event
wagon use. Currently, we are charging $25.00 plus tax to use the event wagon. This fee was established in 2009
and has not been increased. The new fee would become effective as of January 1, 2014. Attached is the event
wagon policy.
The rental fees would be as follows:
Event wagon rental fee: $35.00 plus tax
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt the Event Wagon Rental Rate of$35.00 plus tax, as outlined by
the Park and Recreation Commission at their meeting of October 23, 2013.
