C. Request the formation of a task force
Becky Loader, Library Director, gave the history of the Columbia Heights Library, started in
1928. A little red wagon was used to collect donations to start the library. The library moved five
times before the current building was built in 1960. In 1965 the city received an LSCA Grant and
a Civil Defense Grant to build a two floor addition onto the original building and in 1975 the
library took over the basement area that was a Civil Defense office and gun range. Since that
time numerous construction and remodeling projects have taken place to keep the building up to
safety standards, ADA requirements, and to accommodate changes in technology.
Loader referred to the Design Team visit, the Space needs Committee, and the survey by
Decision Resources. Comments from the public supported the need for a new Library. In 2001
the Library Board raised money to set up a foundation to serve as an organization that could raise
money and hold it long term for a building project. In 2011 the two Boards and the Friends of the
Library have joined together to request that the City Council consider forming a task force to
plan the possible replacement either of the library building and City Hall with a single building
or the library building.
Nawrocki gave his history with the library. He stated opposition to build another city hall, as we
just put $100,000 improvements in this one. He also stated that he is not opposed to a study for
another library building,but we must take into consideration our current$30,000,000 debt. The
10
City Council Minutes

library study would have to conclude with a cost estimate and way to pay for it. This may be
delayed if they recommend building a new building. Nawrocki stated concern that the current
Library budget should cover the cost of a study. They should look at their budget and remove
items to pay for the study.
Schmitt stated appreciation for all the work done on this and for answering her questions. She
stated concern about the cost. In 2006 the estimated cost was $8 to 12 million. Schmitt proposed
that funds from the sale of Parkview Villa be put aside for this. The library is very actively used
and is appreciated in this city. If we could get at least one grant, we may be able to come up with
some matching funds.
Diehm stated that everyone is concerned about the cost. We are being asked to look at names of
people to establish a task force. They would not make decisions. It would come back to us. The
library has been in the planning process for 12 years and it always starts and then stops. We
promote their fund raisers and see how much the library is used on a daily basis. To develop a
task force is not a big risk for us. We should discuss how it would be funded. The vision has to
start somewhere and this is a reasonable request by the Library Board.
Nawrocki stated that we need people knowledgeable about the services, but we also need some
non-bias people on the committee. Diehm stated that is a valid point. With the community center
task force we enlisted people with varied opinions.
Cliff Shedlov, Library Foundation, stated that this library is at its maximum. To keep the city
moving forward, we need this. Katherine Vesley, Library Board, stated that the Library needs to
continue to grow with technology. We have over 13,000 active library cards in a community of
18,000 people. Don Vesley, Foundation Board, stated that the Library Foundation has taken on
the task of fundraising, and would look to find a major donor. They take raising money very
seriously. The citizens of Columbia Heights care.
Nawrocki stated his belief that the city put aside$200,000 for something to be done with the
library. He questioned how much the Library Foundation has raised. Mr. Vesley stated over
$62,000. When we reach $100,000 we may be able to obtain a matching grant. We hope to have
a concept plan drawn by an area architect, who has offered to do this pro bono. If we do not have
the commitment, we will not pursue this.
Motion by Nawrocki that the City Council authorize formation of a committee to look into the
possible replacement of the library building, including the potential cost and funding, with the
cost of the study to come from the existing library budget.
Diehm questioned the cost to hire a consultant to facilitate the task force. Loader stated this was
looked into before, but got nowhere. Before commitments, we will not pursue this.
Diehm stated she was comfortable supporting or making a motion that authorizes the formation
of a task force with the understanding that the funding aspect will come back to us, ideally before
our budget is finalized. It is difficult to believe that we would invest a lot of money in a city hall
in the near future, but it would be short sighted to not at least, through our concept plan, think
about a building that would allow for future expansion to combine a library and city hall.
Schmitt agreed, stating the emphasis should be on the library. The motion states a"possible"
replacement of city hall.

Peterson called for a second to the motion. Motion died for lack of a second.
Motion by Schmitt, second by Diehm, to recommend that the City Council authorize the
formation of a task force to plan the possible replacement either of the library building and City
Hall with a single building or the library building. Upon vote: Schmitt, aye; Diehm, aye;
Nawrocki, abstain; Peterson, aye. 3 ayes— 1 abstention. Motion carried.
D. Adopt Resolutions 2011-124 and 2011-125 being resolutions providing for the prepayment
and redemption of certain outstanding._general obligation bonds of the City and approving the
terms of an internal loan in connection with redemption of the City's general obli ation
improvement and sewer and water revenue bonds series 2003A.
Joe Kloiber, Finance Director, stated this is paying off debt early to save interest fees, as we have
sufficient funds to do so. The bond portion was for street assessments and utility revenues at 3.75
percent interest and is higher than investment interest of 2 or 2.5 percent. Paying off the utility
bond with an internal loan would be at a slightly better rate. Kloiber stated the bond was for$2
million, issued in 2003, and has been partially paid off. Nawrocki questioned what the process
would cost us. Kloiber stated there would be a small fee for drafting the resolutions of about
$600. The benefit of an internal loan is there are no extra costs.
Schmitt questioned how this will affect next year's budget. Kloiber stated this will save about
$50,000 over six years.
Motion by Diehm, second by Schmitt, to waive the reading of Resolutions 2011-124 and 2011-
124, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Manager
Nawrocki read a statement on his displeasure with the budget meeting. We were asked to put
questions in writing. There are over 600 to 700 pages of the budget and he has gone over all of them.
Staff indicated pages where information could be found, but did not give the actual numbers,which
shows disrespect. The city charter has language giving the Council control over city finances,which
he takes very seriously.
Nawrocki stated the newsletter material on the budget says practically nothing. It does not indicate
that we should look at reductions to the budget. He had asked twice for copies of the budget article
before it was published. He only had from Friday to Monday to make comments. Nawrocki stated
that the cable station only talks about taking yard waste to Anoka County and the newsletter has no
information that residents receive curb side pickup of yard waste using special bags, which is
included as part of their utility bill. Pick up stops after Thanksgiving and the cut off dates should be
listed. Peterson stated that yard waste pick up is from April to November, and this is the winter

newsletter.
Diehm stated that the Aldi building construction is coming along. When is the anticipated opening?
Peterson indicated the original plan was to be open by Thanksgiving. Fehst stated that this is a good
addition to our city.
Fehst respectfully disagreed with Council member Nawrocki regarding the budget and the
Homestead Market Value presentation. Many other communities are misrepresenting this. Fehst
again explained how the Homestead Market reduction can be skewed. He thanked Kloiber for his
presentation and the budget article. Diehm questioned when the public would receive the Homestead
Market Value presentation. Fehst stated it is planned for November 14. Nawrocki disagreed with the
City Manager, stating he looks at this through the eyes of the community. The final budget has not
yet been decided by the City Council.
Nawrocki requested an update on the Huset Park townhome development. Fehst stated they are in
negotiations with the bank. Ryland Builders are gone.Nawrocki stated that on the Ramsdell park
shelter building there are posts that hold up the roof with hazardous rods sticking up. Fehst stated
that the Park and Recreation Commission will meet at this park on Wednesday.Nawrocki stated that
the fence behind Kentucky Fried Chicken has a part that needs to be replaced.
Report of the City Attorney-nothing to report
CITIZENS FORUM
Deb Johnson, 4626 Pierce Street, stated that she is surrounded by lender owned properties and the
leaves blow in her yard. She does not mind cleaning them up, but is not willing to pay for the yard
waste bags for their leaves. It is wonderful to have the yard waste container. Fehst stated that our
violation process does not include leaves blowing on other people's property. It is very expensive for
a city to pick up all leaves. Fehst asked for specific addresses. Nawrocki stated he has the same
situation next door to him. He suggested mowing over the leaves to chop them up.
Peterson stated"Thank your service men and women; keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Don't
take yourself too seriously, and do a random act of kindness".

PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
The City of Columbia Heights does ordain:
Chapter 9,Article I,Section 9.104(G)of the Columbia Heights City Code,is thereby amended to read as follows:
§9.104 ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT.
(G) Variances.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of a variance is to provide a means of departure from the literal provisions of
this article. Variances may be granted when the applicant for the variance establishes that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. It is not the intent of this section to allow a variance for a use
that is not permitted within a particular zoning district.
(2) Right of Application. Any person with a legal interest in the property may file an application for one or
more variances.
(3) Application for variance. An application for a variance shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator
on the approved form and shall be accompanied by a site plan and any other information determined by the Zoning
Administrator to be necessary.
(4) Public hearing. The Planning Commission, sitting as the Board of Appeals and Adjustments, shall
hold a public hearing on the complete application for a variance in accordance with the requirements of this section.
After the close of the hearing,the Planning Commission shall make findings and submit its recommendation to the
City Council.
(5) City Council action. The City Council shall make the final decision regarding an application for a
variance from the provisions of this article. Approval of a variance shall require a simple majority vote of the City
Council.
(6) Required findings. The City Council shall make each of the following findings before granting a
variance from the provisions of this article:
(a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration,
topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of
this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the zoning ordinance. The applicant,
however,is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance.
(b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of
land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification.
(c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not
been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property.
(d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
(e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental or the public welfare
or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the
vicinity.
(7) Conditions ofapproval. The City Council may establish any reasonable conditions of approval that are
deemed necessary to mitigate adverse impacts directly associated with granting of the variance and to protect
neighboring properties.

This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after 30 days after its passage

questioned the amount listed under"bad debts". Lisa explained that occasionally people move
out without paying past due rent. The amount listed in the report was for a unit in the south
building. Management does send the tenant a letter asking for payment and then turns it over to
a collection agency. The unpaid amount is what is noted on the report.
Motion by Nawrocki, seconded by Williams, to approve the consent agenda items as listed and
to adopt Resolution 2011-05, Resolution of the Columbia Heights Housing and Redevelopment
Authority(HRA) approving the Financial Statement and Payment of Bills for the months of
May and June 2011. All Ayes. MOTIONPASSED.

BUSINESS ITEMS
6. Report of the Management Company
Laura asked if there were any questions on the newsletter items or on the monthly reports.
Nawrocki asked what the status was for hiring an architect for the remodeling that was discussed at the
last meeting. He was wondering if the low bidder was the company chosen to oversee the project.
Lisa stated that based on the recommendation of the Board at the last meeting, they did proceed with
the low bidder(WAI). The new company had to start from scratch to put specs together and will go
out for bids in mid-August.
Nawrocki then asked if the noise from the Star Bar was still an issue. Clark said that right after the last
meeting, staff met with the Police Department, who in turn, met with the owner of the Star Bar. The
owner has installed surveillance cameras as required by the mitigation plan in place. The Police
Department is also doing extra patrols of the area during the evening hours. He hasn't heard of any
further complaints since these measures were taken.
Lisa told members that the 2011 Capital Fund Grant came out and that Parkview Villa North received
$92,207 that will be used for the renovations.
7. Resident Council Minutes
Rita Nelson reviewed the minutes with the members. She noted that they will be taking
nominations for the open Vice President and Secretary positions on the Resident Council at the
next meeting. She also informed the Board that Irene Sufka is hoping to be home in two
weeks.
Diehm and Nawrocki both reminded residents that National Night Out is August 2nd and they
encouraged residents to participate. Fehst said that if residents choose not to host their own
party, the Methodist Church is having one and they could attend at that location.
8. Citizen Forum
Diane Powell#905 stated there is a problem with someone on the 9th floor who continually
opens the window in the hallway, summer and winter. She said the last few weeks when it has
been so hot and humid, that it causes the whole floor to get hot. She said this person opens it
during rainstorms and even during the winter and the snow blows in. She has reported it and
wonders what can be done to keep it closed. Laura said it is happening on several floors,not
just the 9th floor. She suggested installing a lock on the window since they are not emergency
20

windows used to escape. Nawrocki said management staff should be told who the person is
that is doing it and that they should talk to that person and tell him to leave the windows closed.
Abdullah(Adam) #611 said it happens on his floor also. That person uses the window to take
pictures and then leaves the window open.
Ruth Hillestad#310 asked if some other place could be designated for smoking other than
around the front door. Management will try to encourage people to stay a certain distance from
the front door, since there is no established policy in place. Clark has heard this is an issue and
has directed staff to research various alternatives and costs so this can be discussed at the
October meeting. Nawrocki said he knows this has been discussed before,but there is not
money to build a smoking shelter. Management is doing a good job enforcing the no smoking
indoors rule,but it is hard to control outside.
9. Other Business-Update on Aeon Transaction
As previously explained, there is an extensive amount of work to be done so the investors can
determine what they are buying. Clark reviewed with members and residents what has
happened in the last two months:
In May the Memorandum of Understanding was entered into.
On June 13, 2011 Aeon met with staff and residents in a question and answer session where
there were approximately 60 people in attendance. Written copies of the questions and answers
have been distributed to all the residents.
In June, staff contacted all the Federal and State Legislators, as well as other local officials to
inform them of our plan to sell the building. Staff also went through all the past HRA files and
contracts so Aeon could review them, along with past utility bills and rent structures. As Built
drawings have been located and delivered to Aeon.
In July, Aeon ordered Title work and a survey to be done. And it is anticipated that in August,
Aeon's acquisition team will do a detailed inspection of the building. There also will be four
other inspections for the following: 1)Environmental Phase 1; 2)Lead and Asbestos;
3) Physical Capital Needs; and 4) Greener Energy Audit.
In the fall discussions will take place with HUD, Finance Entities,the Met Council, etc.
Nawrocki is concerned that this process will be dragged out needlessly. He thinks we need to
find out what they are willing to pay to see if the City is even interested in moving forward at
all. He said a preliminary figure should be established.
Barb Camp#608 handed out an Article she found in the paper regarding another property
AEON redeveloped. Mr. Camp wanted to know if rents would be raised if AEON purchases
the building. Diehm explained it is the City's goal to keep the rates affordable and protect the
current residents and that Aeon is aware of that goal. If that goal can't be met, the City may not
move forward with the sale. Clark told residents that Aeon's goal also is to provide low to
moderate income housing at most of its facilities and that they are in the business of running
these types of facilities.

HRA Minutes

July 26, 2011
Ken Bloch#315 stated it makes more sense to have an entity that specializes in the housing
business than to have the City oversee a facility such as Parkview.
Barb Camp said she has reached out to the Elliot Park Neighborhood Association where Aeon
currently has several buildings. So far, she hasn't received a response from them.
The next regular HRA meeting is scheduled for October 25, 2011 at Parkview Villa.
The meeting adjourned at 7:40 pm.

Payne;Marsha Stroik
Staff Present: Tim Lund,Public Works Park Foreman;Gary Peterson,Mayor;Keith
Windschitl,Recreation Director; Deanna Saefke, Secretary
APPROVAL CONSENT AGENDA
Payne asked about the charges for G&K Services regarding how many mops and linens are
ordered. Windschitl replied that is a weekly service with two wet and two dry mops that are used
throughout Murzyn Hall. They need to be replaced each week with the mess that is created after
each event. The cost is about fifteen dollars per week.
Hoium asked if having the air conditioning unit fixed by Honeywell was under warranty.
Windschitl replied that the current warranty with Honeywell for controls ends October 26,2011.
They were called out for a major repair on a controls component. This cost would have been very
high if it was not covered under warranty. Hoium asked about NSI. Windschitl explained that
NSI is the current preventative maintenance company contracted by the City and provides HVAC
support for many of the City buildings. Honeywell warranty covers any issues with the controls
for the new system at John P. Murzyn Hall.
Motion by Stroik,second by Payne,to approve the consent agenda. Upon vote: All ayes.
Motion Carried.
LETTERS AND REQUESTS
A. Letter of request for an open bar reception on Saturday,October 22 2011 for 150 guests.
Windschitl discussed the details of the request. He informed the Members that the groom is a
family member of the former Fire Chief Charlie Kewatt. This will be a responsible bar with 150
guests.
Motion by Hoium, second by Payne,to allow an open bar for Sunday,October 22,2011.Upon
vote:All ayes. Motion Carried.
B. Letter of request for an open bar reception servina beer and wine on November 5 2011 for
approximately 160 guests.

alcohol. They are residents of Columbia Heights,have rented the facility in the past and will be
renting again in the next year. They have hired Hoiuin to bartend.
Motion by Greenhalgh,second by McDonald,to allow an open bar for November 5,2011.Upon
vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
C. Letter of request for a reduced rental rate for a once a month meeting of the Punsch Klubben
Swedish men's club submitted by Columbia Heights resident Charles Sanders
Windschitl indicated the Punsch Klubben is a Swedish men's social club similar to a Lion's Club.
They use a portion of the kitchen to make soup and Swedish pancakes and meet in the bar. The
current rate is a 25%discount of the LaBelle Lounge rate due to Charles Sanders being a resident

of Columbia Heights. They currently pay$176.76 per meeting. Windschitl is suggesting a 50%
discount with a rate of$117.84 because they are a repeat rental.
Evans asked how many hours they are in the space. Windschitl replied 3-4 hours. He stated that
this group will be renting on a monthly basis and the fee will be additional income as the building
is already open on Thursday evenings for other events. Hoium asked if this would be an hourly
rate instead. Windschitl replied that a set usage fee will increase with any JPM rate increase and
be more efficient for payment rather than trying to figure out after each time when the left if it is
different from time to time. He indicated that they do clean up the areas of use. Hoium asked if
this would be considered for any type of group. Windschitl replied yes as long as the facility is
available and it is a responsible group.
Motion by Hoium, second by Stroik,to approve the 50%discounted rental rate making the fee
$117.84 per time for the Punsch Klubben.Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Ramsdell Park updates
Lund indicated that the construction is mostly complete. There are approximately twenty items
on a punch list to finish,man hole work,and a few items on the shelter. Stroik asked if the
Ramsdell memorial had been moved. Lund replied that only the flag pole had been relocated.
Stroik had heard a comment from someone about the Ramsdell family having some responsibility
in putting money towards the moving of the memorial. Peterson indicated that the Police
Department is in charge of the memorial. He had heard that they wanted to improve the current
wood plaque to a stone memorial.
Payne indicated that the slope of the ballfield in right fields slopes down to the catch basin. Lund
replied that there needs to be some slope to avoid standing water. Evans asked if the City is
watering the field. Lund will have staff look in to the slope of the field. Lund replied the
contractor is manually turning the water on because the controller is not installed for the sprinkler
system yet. Payne thanked everyone for the playground and it looks really good. Lund replied
that playground was purchased at the same time as the Huset West playground with the grant
from Game Time so the City only paid half price for the playground equipment. Stroik
mentioned how nice the added green space in the corner looks with the trees.
Windschitl indicated the possibility of holding a future meeting at Ramsdell Park. He stated there
should be recognition of the Ramsdell family with the moving of the memorial and it might be
better to do this in the spring once the park and memorial are complete.
B. Future Park Development
Lund stated that LaBelle Park would be the next park to pursue plans for redevelopment. Stroik
indicated previous discussions of having McKenna Park next for improvements. Windschitl
replied that McKenna Park was discussed for playground updates in regards to a grant that Kevin
Hansen was applying for. He asked Lund where the used playground equipment from Ramsdell
Park went to. Lund indicated it is being installed at LaBelle Park on Circle Terrace Boulevard.
Evans stated that the playground equipment at McKenna Park may not need to be replaced,but
the only equipment there is for younger children. Equipment should be added for the older
children. Evans indicated that Keyes Park is the same way where there is a need for older
children to play on.

Stroik indicated that she spoke with the Finance Director Kloiber regarding the United Way
project. When people donate to the United Way they can allocate where their donations will go
to and would like to see the City take part in that option. Stroik also spoke with Kloiber
regarding a round up program with utility bill payments. In this type of program a resident could
pay their utility bill and round up to an even dollar amount above your bill with those funds
allocated to a designated fund or project within the City. Evans remembered a discussion on this
topic in the past and the fact that the City does utility bills on a quarterly basis was an issue.
Windschitl stated that the Park Development Fund has been depleted with the improvements to
Ramsdell Park. In a discussion with Hansen,he indicated pursuing the LaBelle Park
development plan to get an idea of what the costs would be. Regarding the boardwalk area the
cost will be high. Windschitl would like to see some improvements done in that area. A park
plan would cost about$12,000. Then if funding would become available we would have to
decide what steps to take.
Evans questioned doing a park development plan at this time when there isn't any money to snake
any changes. She stated the Huset Park plan was made and then nothing ever came out of those
plans.
Windschitl read an email response from Hansen. On LaBelle Park and master planning this plan
would cost in the$12,000 range. Hansen put money in the 2012 Parks Budget for a Master Park
Development Plan for future improvements. The Park Development Fund has been expended
with the improvements at Sullivan Park, Silver Lake Park,Huset Park and this year Ramsdell
Park. The primary revenue source for this fund is through park dedication associated with new
development. With the current economy this is not likely to be a short term revenue source. We
can explore other sources of revenue such as grants but those are very limited and focused on
projects of regional significance. With a Master Plan we can budget for phased improvements
based on available revenue over time.
Evans indicated with a smaller amount of money,she feels it would be better to use it for added
playground equipment for older children at Keyes and McKenna Parks rather than to use it for a
plan that will sit around for years. Greenhalgh stated that those are two of most used parks.
Windschitl suggested putting the topic on hold until the next meeting when Hansen is available
for discussion. He restated that by having a plan improvements could be made over time.
Motion by Payne,second by Greenhalgh,to table the discussion of future park development until
the next meeting.Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.
NEW BUSINESS
A. LaBelle Park closing time
Evans reported visiting the basketball park and that the court is not exactly boarded on three sides
by buildings with the location at a lower level than the parking lot. Greenhalgh stated that yes the
noise does travel when there isn't much of any other noise,but where else are kids supposed to
play outside. The court was removed from Keyes Park due to problems. Windschitl replied that
removing the court at Keyes did make a difference and has received good comments. Evans
stated Prestemon Park was a problem for a while too,but hopes that police are patrolling the area
more often and she has not seen the gang activity at that park. Peterson asked what time the parks
close. Windschitl replied that the City Code of Ordinance states that the parks close at 11:00 p.m.
Hoium asked if the court is lit. Windschitl replied there is no light on the court but the street light
may provide some over flow lighting.

Windschitl indicated he has corresponded via email with a resident in that area. This resident
indicated there is a sign on the fence at the court stating no basketball after 10:00 p.m.but it is
very faded and hard to read. The resident would like the sign replaced or renewed. Windschitl
indicated this is not an ordinance and would not be enforced by the police. The resident also
mentioned seeing use of alcohol in the parking lot and would call the police if he sees that kind of
behavior in the future. Windschitl suggested putting some sings up at the courts as the resident is
requesting. Greenhalgh mentioned previous discussion of renewing signs at all of the parks
because so many of them are difficult to read. Windschitl replied he would like to see the signs
updated and consistent at all of the City parks.
Windschitl reported speaking with this resident regarding the need for the park closing time to be
at 11:00 p.m. in the City Code of Ordinance due to the need for men's softball league with games
sometimes ending after 10:00 p.m. Therefore we would not want to change the ordinance.
Hoium asked why the time should be changed for one complaint. He indicated that no one knows
why or when the sign was place stated there is no basketball after 10:00 p.m. Peterson asked
about the curfew and if the people playing basketball are youth or adults. He agreed with leaving
the sign up for no basketball after 10:00 p.m. to see if it helps,but to make sure that this resident
knows it will not be enforced. Windschitl indicated Staff will update the current sign.
REPORTS
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl reported two part-time staff was recently hired for Murzyn Hall to help out in the
times where current staff is unavailable to work.
Windschitl attended a recent City Council meeting to receive approval on replacement of the
Murzyn Hall fire alarm because it is not a budgeted item. Over the previous three months there
have been numerous problems with the fire alarm going off with no fire or smoke. The current
system was installed in the 1970's and the panel is malfunctioning. A motion was approved to
get bids on a new system from Council. Windschitl indicated the money would come from the
head custodian position that has not been replaced therefore there is money within the budget for
personnel and not go over the current 2011 Recreation budget. It will hopefully be replaced in
the next few weeks.
Windschitl reported speaking with another resident concerned about people smoking along the
trail around Sullivan Lake Park near the Medtonic building. This resident has contacted
Medtronic and was told that employees are not allowed to smoke on Medtronic property.
Windschitl contacted Medtronic's operations department and is working with them to create an
area outside of the building for smokers to be at so they are not on the trail system. Hoium
indicated that smokers do have the right to smoke on the trails. Windschitl replied that yes
according to our policy there is no organized youth event going on and they do have the right to
smoke on the trails.
Windschitl indicated the rear parking lot of Murzyn Hall is in rough condition and very cracked.
He had put money in the budget this year for improvements, about$12,000. The streets
department had been working to create a situation for the water to drain and funnel out of the
back of the lot.
B. Public Works Director/City En ineer
Lund reported the seasonal crew was very good again this summer. Three employees will remain
on staff until the end of October which really helps. Staff is working on top dressing some of the
26

areas in the Parks where the grass is not growing very well. Areas include Huset Park along the
parkway and the new areas at Sullivan Park near the shelter. The salvaged playground from
Ramsdell Park will be moved to Circle Terrace.
C. Commission Members
Greenhalgh reported the CH Basketball Association used the Hylander Center for a tournament
this past weekend and continue to receive a lot of positive feedback on how nice the facility is.
Evans stated that during this summer she has noticed how clean the parks have been. She often
cleans different areas of the parks that she uses and it seems to help when others use the park that
they keep it clean.
Stroik asked if the ice rinks will be open again this year. Lund reported yes,it will be the same
three as last year.

NO: Consent Administration APPROVAL
ITEM: Adopt Res. 2011-129 BY: Walter R. Fehst BY:
NO: Fiscal Disparities DATE: November 7, 2011 DATE.
Background:
The Anoka County Board passed a resolution at their October 25 meeting requesting no change in
fiscal disparities.
Anoka County has requested that cities and school districts in Anoka County pass a resolution to
support fiscal disparities, as there may be an effort to dismantle this important program, which was
established under the leadership of former Anoka Representative Charles R. Weaver.
If the Fiscal Disparities Program was eliminated,most homeowners and business property tax
statements in the Anoka County area would see an average increase of 10 percent(on the combined
city/school/county taxes). This would result in more disparity in the Metro area.
The estimated tax increase without fiscal disparities for Columbia Heights would be:
- On a Columbia Heights $200,000 residential homestead for 2011 $267
- School District#13 $166
- Anoka County $ 36
Total $469
If approved, this Resolution with be forwarded to Anoka County and communicated as a united
message to Legislators in the upcoming Legislative Session.
Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2011-129, there being ample
copies available to the public.
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2011-129,being a Resolution requesting no
change in fiscal disparities.
COUNCIL ACTION:
32
RESOLUTION NO. 2011-129
BEING A RESOLUTION REQUESTING NO CHANGE IN FISCAL DISPARITIES
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota adopted Minnesota Statute Section 473F—a system
designed to share tax resources in the metropolitan area known as fiscal disparities; and,
WHEREAS, the idea of tax-base sharing is to narrow the gap between communities with a strong
and growing commercial-industrial tax base and communities with small or stagnated
commercial-industrial tax base. To lessen the difference between these"haves" and"have-nots,"
the law requires that 40 percent of new commercial-industrial tax base be put back into the
metropolitan pool and apportioned back to communities according to their population and overall
tax base; and,
WHEREAS,the Minnesota fiscal disparities tax sharing system is working and is making
progress towards its objective; and,

NO. POLICE APPROVAL,:
ITEM: Authorize School Liaison Officer BY: Scott Nadeau BY:
NO. Contract with CH School District DATE: November 1,2011 DATE:
for 2012
BACKGROUND
In 1992, the City of Columbia Heights and School District #13 entered into a Joint Powers agreement to
fund a School Liaison Services program. This contract has been renewed each year since then. The
program continues to provide benefits to the School District and the Police Department and is an important
part of our juvenile program.
The School District shares expenses with the Police Department during the school year at the rate of one
half of 9/12ths of the cost of providing the officer at the high school and middle school. The School
District's share for calendar year 2012, which includes wage, fringe and miscellaneous costs, is $39,644.23
each for the high school and middle school officer, totaling$79,288.46.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION
In September, Officer Ron Dietz started his second year as the High School Liaison Officer. Officer
Danielle Hanly started her fourth year at the Middle School (now Columbia Academy) this fall. In their
role as Liaison Officers, they develop contacts with the students and staff at the schools that are invaluable
in our investigation of juvenile crime. They are also excellent role models to students, and their
interaction at the schools is an important link between law enforcement and the educational system.
Connecting with community partners such as the School District to focus on youth issues is part of the
department's Strategic Plan,
RECOMMENDED MOTION
Move to authorize the Mayor and Police Chief to enter into a Joint Powers agreement with Columbia
Heights Public Schools for the provision of a Police School Liaison Officer program as stipulated in the
Joint Powers Agreement for the period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Fire Nov. 14,2011
ITEM: Authorize purchase ofLC� �
replacement rescue vehicle BY: Gary Gorman
No: DATE: November 14, 2011
Background: Rescue 3 is a 2007 Ford F350 Super Cab truck with a utility box. Trucks of this size
have been utilized in the past with the intent of having smaller, less expensive vehicles to perform
much of the daily details and inspections of the Fire Department in place of using more expensive
ambulances and pumpers. Planned replacement for this vehicle is every five years. The mileage of
the vehicle is 29,179 with 3329 engine hours, which translates to 99,870 miles per manufacturer's
formula.
Even though the current vehicle is in good condition it has some deficiencies that have made this style
of vehicle not work well for the use it was intended. First, the original plan was to have a four door
cab in order to seat up to four firefighters if needed. The bay in the old station was too short for the
full size 4-door vehicle so the cab was changed to a model with rear half doors and the smaller rear
seating space. This amount of space does not work for carrying firefighters, especially if they have
turn out gear on. Secondly, many of the EMS drugs and equipment we carry are temperature sensitive
and we carry more now than we did in 2007. It was felt in 2007 that the truck was in and out of the
station enough in a day to maintain minimum temperatures in the unheated cabinets. With the
increase in inspections the vehicle is out of the station most of the day and temperatures in the
compartments are getting too cold. Thirdly, in 2007 the Fire Department was not using mobile
laptops. A laptop computer was installed last year but since the vehicle is a one ton truck it vibrates
the laptop enough that it is difficult to type on it, besides the damage the vibration could be causing
the laptop hardware. Due to these deficiencies crews are using the ambulance more for daily duties,
which is putting more unwanted miles and wear on a more expensive vehicle.
Staff recommendation is to go back to a SUV style of vehicle. Our proposal is for a 2012 Chevrolet
Suburban 4x4 purchased from the State of Minnesota Purchasing Contract. This type and model
meets all of our needs,has the needed cargo space, and eliminates all of the deficiencies listed above.
The Suburban is used by many fire departments and ambulance companies as a first out emergency
vehicle or Chief's command vehicles and has a very good track record for durability and maintenance.
The current Rescue 3 will be given to the City shop for their use in place of purchasing a new vehicle.
Some equipment such as lights, sirens, radio, and computer mount etc. will be removed and reused in
the new Fire Department vehicle.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the purchase of a 2012 Chevrolet
Suburban 4x4 from Thane Hawkins Polar Chevrolet in the State of Minnesota Purchasing
Contract amount of$35,886.20; and to equip the vehicle with lights, sirens, and computer
mounts in an amount not to exceed $7,000; and a graphics package not to exceed $500.
Funding shall be from the Fire Capital Equipment fund 439-42200-5150.

ITEM: RESOLUTION UPDATING INCOME BY: JOE KLOIBER BY:
LIMIT FOR SENIOR CITIZEN UTILITY RATES
DATE: November 8, 2011
For many years, the City Council has annually updated the income eligibility limit for reduced senior
citizen utility rates. Currently, the income limit for reduced senior citizen rates is set at $29,000.
Attached is a resolution raising the income limit, beginning in 2012, to $31,400 for reduced
senior citizen rates.
For many years, the formula the City has used for this limit is the maximum current year (2012)
Social Security benefit for an individual at full retirement age, plus 4%, rounded to the next even
$100 increment. This limit is then compared to applicants' prior year(2011) income. This formula is
intended to allow for a modest amount of income beyond the maximum Social Security benefit
possible. The maximum Social Security benefit for an individual at full retirement age for 2012 is
$30,156.
The City Council can set any formula or amount for income eligibility. If the City establishes the
income eligibility guideline at a higher level, more people will qualify. As more people qualify for
reduced rates, the rates for non-qualifying people will have to be raised to ensure adequate revenue in
the utility fund. For many years, the number of seniors receiving the reduced rate has remained
relatively constant at approximately 230 residents.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of resolution 2011-132, there being ample
copies available to the general public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2011-132, being a resolution updating the
income limit for senior citizen utility rates.

WHEREAS, the City Council has previously established eligibility standards for senior citizen
rates for refuse service, sewage disposal, storm water and water supply; and
WHEREAS, It has been the City's practice to maintain uniform eligibility standards whenever
possible:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Columbia Heights as follows:
That anyone over 62 years of age with a maximum household income of$31,400
will be eligible for reduced rates.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the above eligibility standard is effective January 1, 2012.

Background:
The City has an existing agreement with MnDOT(94788)which addresses Federal funding for construction
projects. It is a blanket agreement that applies to construction projects where the City has obtained Federal
funds. The agreement spells out the duties of the City as it relates to the performance of the work and
MnDOT as it relates to accepting and dispersing the funds. The agreement details the duties of the City and
of the State prior to and during construction, identifying Federal requirements to be as part of the acceptance
of funds. These include design requirements, construction reporting, and audit standards. The handling of
Federal funds is regularly routed through the State agencies, in this case MnDOT.
Analysis/Conclusions:
The attached Agreement No. 99883 with MnDOT provides updates to and replaces the existing agreement
No. 94788. The updates are described on the attached letter from MnDOT dated October 28, 2011 and
include clarifications to program policies and procedures. There are no substantial changes to the existing
agreement.

Agency Agreement No. 99883
Dear Mr. Hansen:
Attached are three copies of the agency agreement between the City of Columbia Heights and
MnDOT, which allows for MnDOT to act as the City's agent in accepting federal aid. This
agreement is intended to cover all federally funded projects that the City of Columbia Heights is
awarded funds for until revisions are needed to the agreement. It supersedes the agreement
executed in or about 2003, which is referenced in this agreement. There are not substantial
changes to the agreement. There is a more clear reference to the DCP checklist as well as
requirements and references to other State Aid policies and procedures rather than MnDOT's. I
also get frequent calls questioning the CFDA number for the projects so I added that
information.
While I do not anticipate that the requirements in Section I.J.1 will apply to you, the language
required by federal law and must be included in all federally funded project agreements as of
October 1, 2010. Please review the agreement and if approved, have all three copies signed.
A Council resolution similar to the attached example must be passed. The certified resolution
should then be placed as the last page in each of the three copies of the agreement. Please
verify that the person/title authorized to sign as stated in the resolution, corresponds to the
signature (person/title) on the signature page. Please return all three copies of the agreement to
me for MnDOT signatures. A fully executed copy will be returned to you.
If you have any questions or need any revisions, please feel free to contact me at
651.366.3822.

("Project Engineer'), to be in responsible charge of the Project(s) and to
supervise and direct the work to be performed under any construction

71
from its primary responsibility for performance of the work.
2. During the progress of the work on the Project(s), the City authorizes its
Project Engineer to request in writing specific engineering and/or technical
services from MnDOT, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 961.39. Such

fund for the full cost and expense of furnishing such services. The costs and
expenses will include the current MnDOT labor additives and overhead rates,

Minnesota law and applicable Federal laws and regulations.
9. The City will solicit bids after obtaining written notification from MnDOT that

required by state and federal laws. The City will include in the solicitation the
required language for federal-aid construction contracts as supplied by
MnDOT. The solicitation will state where the proposals, plans, and
specifications are available for the inspection of prospective bidders, and
where the City will receive the sealed bids.
4. The.City may not include other work in the construction contract for the
authorized Project(s) without obtaining prior notification from MnDOT that
such work is allowed by FHWA. Failure to obtain such notification may result
in the loss of some or all of the federal funds for the Project(s).
5. The City will prepare and sell the plan and proposal packages and prepare
and distribute any addendums, if needed.
6. The City will receive and open bids.
7. After the bids are opened, the City Council will consider the bids and will
award the bid to the lowest responsible bidder, or reject all bids. If the
construction contract contains a goal for Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises, the City will not award the bid until it has received certification of
the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation from the MnDOT Equal
Employment Opportunity Office.
D. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION.

grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance (42 U.S.C. 2000d). Through
expansion of the mandate for nondiscrimination in Title VI and through
parallel legislation, the proscribed bases of discrimination include race, color,
sex, national origin, age, and disability. In addition, the Title VI program has
been extended to cover all programs, activities and services of an entity
receiving Federal financial assistance, whether such programs and activities
are Federally assisted or not. Even in the absence of prior discriminatory
practice or usage, a recipient in administering a program or activity to which
this part applies, is expected to take affirmative action to assure that no
person is excluded from participation in, or is denied the benefits of, the
program or activity on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or
disability. It is the responsibility of the City to carry out the above
requirements.

permitted by the City under this agreement will not be considered employees
of MnDOT, and any and all claims that may arise under the Workers'
Compensation Act of Minnesota on behalf of said employees, or other
persons while so engaged, will in no way be the obligation or responsibility of
MnDOT. The City will require proof of Workers' Compensation Insurance
from any contractor and sub-contractor.
4. Utilities. The City will treat all public, private or cooperatively owned utility
facilities which directly or indirectly serve the public and which occupy
highway rights of way in conformance with 23 CFR 645 "Utilities" which is

2. As provided under Minnesota Statutes Section 16C.05, subdivision 5, all
books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the
City are subject to examination by the United States Government, MnDOT,
and either the Legislative Auditor or the State Auditor as appropriate, for a
minimum of seven years. The City will be responsible for any costs
associated with the performance of the audit.
H. MAINTENANCE. The City assumes full responsibility for the operation and
maintenance of any facility constructed or improved under this Agreement.
I. CLAIMS. The City acknowledges that MnDOT is acting only as the City's agent
for acceptance and disbursement of federal funds, and not as a principal or co-
principal with respect to the Project. The City will pay any and all lawful claims
arising out of or incidental to the Project including, without limitation, claims
related to contractor selection (including the solicitation, evaluation, and
acceptance or rejection of bids or proposals), acts or omissions in performing the
Project work, and any ultra vires acts. The City will indemnify, defend (to the
extent permitted by the Minnesota Attorney General), and hold MnDOT
harmless from any claims or costs arising out of or incidental to the Project(s),
including reasonable attorney fees incurred by MnDOT. The City's
indemnification obligation extends to any actions related to the certification of
DBE participation, even if such actions are recommended by MnDOT.
J. Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). This Agreement
requires the City to provide supplies and/or services that are funded in whole or in
part by federal funds that are subject to FFATA. The City is responsible for
ensuring that all applicable requirements, including but not limited to those set
forth herein, of FFATA are met and that the City provides information to the
MnDOT as required.

year it received:
L 80 percent or more of the City's annual gross revenues
from Federal procurement contracts and Federal financial
assistance subject to the Transparency Act, as defined at 2

ii. $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or
section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. (To
determine if the public has access to the compensation
information, see the U.S. Security and Exchange
Commission total compensation filings at
httio://www.sec.gov/answers/exeGomp.htm.).
Executive means officers, managing partners, or any other employees in
management positions.
b. Total compensation means the cash and noncash dollar value

and includes the following (for more information see 17 CFR
229.402(c)(2)):
i. Salary and bonus.
ii. Awards of stock, stock options, and stock appreciation
rights. Use the dollar amount recognized for financial
statement reporting purposes with respect to the fiscal year
in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (FAS 123R), Shared
Based Payments.
iii. Earnings for services under non-equity incentive plans.
This does not include group life, health, hospitalization or

V. Above-market earnings on deferred compensation which is
not tax qualified.
vi. Other compensation, if the aggregate value of all such
other compensation (e.g. severance, termination
payments, value of life insurance paid on behalf of the
employee, perquisites or property)for the executive
exceeds$10,000.
(MnDOT Agreement No. 99883)
Page 6
76
2. The City must report executive total compensation described above to the
MnDOT by the end of the month during which this agreement is awarded.
3. The City will obtain a Data Universal Numbering System(DUNS) number
and maintain its DUNS number for the term of this agreement. This
number shall be provided to MnDOT on the plan review checklist submitted
with the plans for each project. More information about obtaining a DUNS
Number can be found at: httn:!/fedqov.dnb.com/webform/
4. The City's failure to comply with the above requirements is a material
breach of this agreement for which the MnDOT may terminate this
agreement for cause. The MnDOT will not be obligated to pay any
outstanding invoice received from the City unless and until the City is in full
compliance with the above requirements.
II. DUTIES OF MnDOT.
A. ACCEPTANCE. MnDOT accepts designation as Agent of the City for the receipt
and disbursement of federal funds and will act in accordance herewith.
B. PROJECT ACTIVITIES.
1. MnDOT will make the necessary requests to the FHWA for authorization to
use federal funds for the Project(s), and for reimbursement of eligible costs
pursuant to the terms of this agreement.
2. MnDOT will provide to the City copies of the required Federal-aid clauses to
be included in the bid solicitation and will provide the required Federal-aid
provisions to be included in the Proposal for Highway Construction.
3. MnDOT will review and certify the DBE participation and notify the City
when certification is complete. If certification of DBE participation (or good
faith efforts to achieve such participation) cannot be obtained, then City
must decide whether to proceed with awarding the contract. Failure to
obtain such certification will result in the project becoming ineligible for
federal assistance, and the City must make up any shortfall.
4. MnDOT will provide the required labor postings.
C. PAYMENTS.
1. MnDOT will receive the federal funds to be paid by the FHWA for the
Project(s), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes§ 161.36, Subdivision 2.
2. MnDOT will reimburse the City, from said federal funds made available to
each Project, for each partial payment request, subject to the availability and
limits of those funds.
3. Upon completion of the Project(s), MnDOT will perform a final inspection and
verify the federal and state eligibility of all the payment requests. If the Project
is found to have been completed in accordance with the plans and
(MnDOT Agreement No. 99883)
Page 7
77
specifications, MnDOT will promptly release any remaining federal funds due
the City for the Project(s).
4. In the event MnDOT does not obtain funding from the Minnesota Legislature
or other funding source, or funding cannot be continued at a sufficient level to
allow for the processing of the federal aid reimbursement requests, the City
may continue the work with local funds only, until such time as MnDOT is
able to process the federal aid reimbursement requests.
D. AUTHORITY. MnDOT may withhold federal funds, where MnDOT or the FHWA
determines that the Project(s) was not completed in compliance with federal
requirements.
E. INSPECTION. MnDOT, the FHWA, or duly authorized representatives of the
state and federal government will have the right to audit, evaluate and monitor
the work performed under this agreement. The City will make available all books,
records, and documents pertaining to the work hereunder, for a minimum of
seven years following the closing of the construction contract.
Ill. TORT LIABILITY. Each party is responsible for its own acts and omissions and the
results thereof to the extent authorized by law and will not be responsible for the acts
and omissions of any others and the results thereof. The Minnesota Tort Claims Act,
Minnesota Statutes Section 3.736, governs MnDOT liability.
IV. ASSIGNMENT. Neither party will assign or transfer any rights or obligations under this
agreement without prior written approval of the other party.
V. AMENDMENTS. Any amend mentslsupplements to this Agreement will be in writing and
executed by the same parties who executed the original agreement, or their successors
in office.
VI. AGREEMENT EFFECTIVE DATE. This agreement is effective upon execution by the
appropriate State officials pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 16C.05.
VII. CANCELLATION. This agreement may be canceled by the City or MnDOT at any time,
with or without cause, upon ninety (90) days written notice to the other party. Such
termination will not remove any unfulfilled financial obligations of the City as set forth in
this Agreement. In the event of such a cancellation the City will be entitled to
reimbursement for MnDOT-approved federally eligible expenses incurred for work
satisfactorily performed on the Project to the date of cancellation subject to the terms of
this agreement.
VIII. DATA PRACTICES ACT. The parties will comply with the provisions of the Minnesota
Government Data Practices Act (Minnesota Statutes chapter 13) as it applies to all data
gathered, collected, created, or disseminated related to this Agreement.

ITEM: ADOPT RESOLUTION 2011-130 BY: K. Hansen BY: ��
ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DATE: 11/9/2011 DATE:
ZONE 6 STREET SEAL COAT AND
ORDERING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
HEARING, CITY PROJECT NO. 1201
Background:
Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared a Feasibility Report for Zone 6 of the Annual Seal Coat
Program. The seal coat area is located between University Avenue Service Drive and Central Avenue from 40th
Avenue to 44th Avenue. In accordance with the Street Rehabilitation Policy, Zone 6 streets that were
rehabilitated in 2002 and 2003 are being seal coated at the City's cost(City pays for first seal coat). Streets
included in the 2011 Street Rehabilitation program will not be seal coated until the next rehab cycle. The map
included with the Feasibility Report displays the streets proposed for Seal Coat and the funding source.
Analysis/Conclusions:
The seal coat program helps preserve and maintain existing bituminous streets in good driving condition.
Particular issues are summarized below:
1. Assessment Methodology:
The Seal Coating project will be assessed on a Street and Avenue parcel basis. Avenue assessments are one-
third of the street rate extending one-half block in either direction of the Avenue. This assumes that all parcels
benefit equally for the strategy in front of their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue. The estimated
unit cost assessment is $297 per Street parcel and $99 per Avenue parcel.
2.Financing:
The estimated construction cost is $125,200. 100%of the seal coat construction cost is assessed to property
owners, or City funded for the first rehab cycle following rehabilitation.
3. Past Assessments:
In Zone 6, the property owners on 4th Street and 6th Street have had a street or avenue assessment for mill and
overlay on 4th Street from 42nd Avenue to 44th Avenue(2011) and for street reconstruction on 6th Street from
40th Avenue to 44th Avenue(2011). The majority of these property owners will receive an avenue assessment
for seal coat on 41St Avenue, 42nd Avenue or 43rd Avenue.
4. Meeting dates:
Staff is recommending the public improvement hearing be scheduled preceding the Zone 7 Street Rehabilitation
Hearing on January 18, 2012 or an alternate date of January 31, 2012.
The bidding process will be administered by the City of Coon Rapids as part of a multi-City JPA for various
street maintenance activities.

ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR DATE: 11/9/11 DATE:
ZONE 7 STREET REHABILITATION AND
ORDERING THE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT
HEARING,CITY PROJECT NO. 1202
Background:
Staff has developed preliminary plans and prepared the Feasibility Report for Zone 7 of the Annual Street
Rehabilitation Program. West of TH 47,Zone 7 is bounded by California/Main Street on the west,University Avenue
(TH 47)on the east,45"'Avenue on the north,and 37t1i Avenue on the south; East of TH 47,Zone 7 is bounded by
University Avenue(TH 47)on the west,Central Avenue(TH 65)on the east,401''Avenue on the north and 3711'
Avenue on the south. In addition,4t" Street from 40d Avenue to 42°d Avenue was added to Zone 7. Previously,Zone
6 was divided into 2 project years due to the scope of the reconstruction work.
Analysis/Conclusions:
Attached is the Feasibility Report that details the scope of work for Street Rehabilitation in Zone 7. Particular issues
are summarized below:
1. Rehabilitation Strategies:
Three treatment strategies are utilized in the street rehabilitation program:mill and overlay,partial reconstruction, and
full reconstruction. In Zone 7,full reconstruction and mill and overlay is proposed for the streets identified on the
attached area map.A fourth strategy, seal coating,is addressed under separate engineering reports when seal coating
work is proposed. Staff utilizes three methods in evaluating the condition of the street and determining appropriate
treatment:
1. Present physical structure(cross-section): Each street within Zone 7 has been excavated down to the
sub-base material and the individual street segment cross-sections are catalogued.
2. Non-destructive strength determination and condition rating: Braun Intertec,a geo-technical
engineering consultant, conducted tests on all streets at 50-foot intervals with a dropping weight
deflection test. From this,the strength of the road segment is determined. Braun also develops their
own pavement conditions index.
3. Overall Condition Index(OCI): Staff also reviews each street segment by measuring the type and
quantity of each type of cracking in the pavement. This information along with other factors such as
drainage and physical structure is used to determine an"overall condition index". An OCI of 70 or
greater suggests seal coat is the appropriate treatment. An OCI between 69 and 55 reflects that the
bituminous pavement is showing signs of significant deterioration and a mill and overlay is required to
strengthen the pavement. An OCI of less than 55 suggests the best course of action is to reconstruct
the street,typically because both the pavement and the base under the pavement are failing. The need
for full or partial reconstruction depends on the condition of the curb and gutter. The results are then
used to determine the appropriate treatment to maximize the life of the street.
2. Utilities Replacement:
Utilities have been reviewed in Zone 7. 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.
Only minor water main and sanitary sewer utility work is proposed. Undersized storm sewer pipe and structure
replacements/repairs are also proposed.

Continued—Page 2
3. Assessment Methodology:
Street Rehabilitation in Phase 1,Zones 1,2 and 3 all followed the previous assessment policies for each area.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 area of Columbia Heights west of Central Avenue is essentially a block type
development pattern with streets and avenues. The existing assessment policy for this area would involve"street"
assessments and"avenue"assessments. The"street"frontage(typical front of property or where driveway access is)
would pay a particular rate for the full frontage for that type of treatment(mill and overlay or full reconstruction,for

ZONE 7
PROJECT NUMBER 1202
LOCATION: ZONE 7—AREA BOUNDED BY
CALIFORNIA STREET/MAIN STREET TO UNIVERSITY AVENUE
37TH AVENUE TO 45TH AVENUE, AND
UNIVERSITY AVENUE TO CENTRAL AVENUE,
37TH AVENUE TO 40TH AVENUE, PLUS
4TH STREET, 40TH AVENUE TO 42N-D AVENUE
This feasibility study includes an analysis of proposed street rehabilitation within
Zone 7. Zone 7 was amended in 2010 to include 4th Street from 40th Avenue to
42nd Avenue.
IMPROVEMENTS: Full Street Reconstruction—
Concrete curb and gutter, granular sub-base if needed, new aggregate base and
new bituminous surfacing.
Mill and Overlay-
Random curb and gutter replacement as required, and new 2" bituminous surface.
Utility Construction—
Water main replacement/repairs as required to maintain the distribution system.
Sanitary sewer replacements/repairs as required to maintain the collection system.
Storm sewer replacements/repairs as required to improve or maintain the
collection system.
INITIATION: City Council in accordance with the Street Rehabilitation Policy.
OWNERS Full Reconstruction
ABUTTING 1. 4th Street, 40th Avenue to 42nd Avenue (39)
OR
IMPACTED: Mill and Overlay
1. 3rd Street, 42nd Avenue to 44th Avenue (33)
2. Summit Street, 5th Street to 40th Avenue (18)
ISSUES: The following is a study of the key project issues.
Street Reconstruction
The proposed roadway would consist of a two lane bituminous cross section with
concrete curb and gutter. The roadway width would generally match the existing
street width.
Mill and Overlay
The proposed construction would consist of milling off 1" of bituminous
pavement across the entire street surface and paving a new 1%4"(gutter)to 2"
(centerline)bituminous mat. Existing concrete curb and gutter would be
preserved except for sections with poor drainage. Driveway openings with drive-
over curbs will be removed and replaced on a lineal foot cost at the request of
property owners.
lid
Utilities
No major water main, sanitary sewer or storm sewer replacement is proposed in
Zone 7. For the storm sewer system, staff is proposing to replace undersized pipe
and structure replacement/repair where existing structures are deteriorated.
Roadway construction will include minor modifications to existing water main,
sanitary and storm sewer utility surface structures in order to meet proposed finish
grades.
Sidewalk
City staff recommends hazardous sidewalk within all of Zone 7 be replaced as
part of the project. The criteria for hazardous sidewalk is defined in the City's
policy. The cost is approximately$8,360, spread over 40 properties. The cost per
single family property ranges from$100 to $600. The majority of the sidewalk
replacement is not adjacent to streets included in the 2012 Street Rehabilitation
program. Staff recommends the cost for hazardous sidewalk replacement be
absorbed by the Infrastructure fund.
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 2012, with substantial
completion occurring in the summer of 2012.

Bid Opening Mar 6,2012
Council Awards Contract Mar 12,2012
Begin Construction May 14,2012
Construction Completed June 29,2012
FINANCING: Financing would be a combination of assessments to benefitted properties,
infrastructure fund including Municipal State Aid funds (population
apportionment), and utility funds.
The estimated construction costs for each option are as follows:
Type of Construction Proposed Assessments Infrastructure Fund
Full Reconstruction $ 165,500. $ 117,000.
Mill and Overlay $ 110,300. $ 8,900.
Engineering and Administration $ 36,500.
The assessments reflect a flat fee of 10% of the construction cost included in the
3
111
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 followed under each of the prior street rehabilitation zones.
Utility work performed as part of the Zone 7 project will be paid for from the
appropriate utility fund.
Proposed sidewalk repair is not included in the infrastructure fund amount shown
above.
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 other Zones assessment policies, assessments would be on a Street
and Avenue parcel basis. A Street assessment would be at the developed rate for
the particular rehab strategy while Avenue assessments would be at
approximately 1/3 of the street rate extending %2 block in either direction of the
Avenue. This assumes that all parcels benefit equally for the strategy in front of
their property or abutting it, in the case of the Avenue.
