D. Amendment to Huset Park Master Plan: Splash Pad
Councilmember Nawrocki expressed concern with the elimination of three wading pools, noting
they seem to be popular throughout the City. Director Hansen explained that in 2010 a Federal
American with Disabilities Act required all pools be brought up to current ADA standards. The
City received bids for the required ADA modifications at about $70,000 per pool. The City
Council and the Park and Recreation Commission chose to reject the bids, and move in the
direction of a splash pad to be constructed at Huset Park.
Director Hansen reported that the wading pools cannot continue to operate because they do not
meet the ADA requirements. Hansen clarified that the proposed $70,000 bid is only for the ADA
compliance issue, which does not include updates to the filtering or pumping systems.
Councilmember Schmitt commented that a splash pad is advantageous because it can
accommodate all age groups. Councilmember Schmitt suggested she is in favor of design option
A. Director Hansen stated that specific designs will be discussed at a future date, as this item is
addressing the installation of a splash pad.
Mayor Peterson stated that the council has been discussing this item for 6 -8 years, and while
closing of the wading pools is not an ideal approach, it is the most economical approach.
Nawrocki reiterated that he is not in favor of eliminating the pools, especially for those residents
that do not live near Huset Park.
City Manager Fehst commented that the Council may want to consider constructing a splash pad
on the north end of town in the future.
Motion by Councilmember Schmitt, seconded by Councilmember Diehm to adopt the 2014 Huset
Park Master Plan amendment based upon a recommendation of the Park and Recreation
Commission. Authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for a splash pad based on the
amended Huset Park Master Plan. Ayes: Mayor Peterson, Councilmembers Schmitt, Williams
and Diehm. Nay Councilmember Nawrocki. 4 Ayes, 1 Nay Motion Carried.
E. Construction of Right Turn Lane on 49th Avenue at TH 65 (Central Avenue)
Director of Public Works Kevin Hansen reported that in 2011 the Council directed staff to look
for funding sources to construct a right turn lane on 49th Ave west of Central Ave. At that time,
there was not funding available. In 2014 MNDOT made funding available through Highway
Safety Improvement Program. Hansen reported the proposed project will provide an
improvement to the situation, particularly during school dismissal times.
Councilmember Nawrocki asked if the City of Hilltop will be contributing, as half of the road is
in their City. Director Hansen stated that he has met with Hilltop staff, and believes they will pay
for their right -of -way costs. Director Hansen reported that the sidewalk will be reconstructed
along the right -of -way.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated that he sees the main problem at the intersection is the signal
timing. Director Hansen stated that he has contacted MNDOT regarded signaling, and they will
not change their signal timing, due to the short duration of the back -ups.
Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Diehm to obtain proposals for
engineering services for the construction of a right turn lane on 49th Avenue, west of TH 65.

Ayes: Mayor Peterson, Councilmembers Schmitt, Williams and Diehm. Nay: Councilmember
Nawrocki. 4 Ayes, 1 Nay; Motion Carried.
State Aid Street Assessment Policy
Councilmember Williams stated there was a resident upset that they were not notified of the
meeting to consider the amendment to the MSA streets assessment policy. Public Works
Director Kevin Hansen reported that policy issues do not warrant a Public Hearing. Director
Hansen gave an overview of the proposed amendments. The policy would allow for using a
variable rate based on traffic volume. Two options were provided for consideration.
Paul Ramacher -1025 44th Ave NE expressed concern with the timing of the City's recent policy
change in requiring residents to pay a portion of the assessment. Mr. Ramacher commented that
Sergeant Johnston conducted traffic counts, and the results were different than those reported by
Public Works. Mr. Ramacher stated he is upset because the City has received money from the
state to pay for the road, and does not feel he should be assessed.
Mr. Hansen reported traffic counts were completed in June and July, looking at total vehicle, as
well as truck counts. Hansen reported that of the 1900 vehicles traveled daily about 2% were
trucks/buses. Hansen commented that the police traffic study indicated average speed of 29 mph,
and the 85th percentile is 34 mph.
Manager Fehst reported that all of the cities in the metro area do pass at least a portion of
assessments costs to residents of state aid streets; noting that cities can use the funds obtained
from the state for a variety of purposes.
Director Hansen explained that the City receives state aid dollars based on need. 25% of those
funds are used for maintenance and operations; including snow plowing, traffic lighting, and
overhead lighting. The balance is put into a construction account, to be used for state aid roads
or other eligible items as defined by the state. These eligible cost include pedestrian bridges,
traffic signals, landscaping.
Councilmember Schmitt asked if those finds could be used for sidewalk maintenance. Director
Hansen confirmed that it could be used for sidewalks and trails on MSA roads.
Councilmember Diehm asked what would happen to the funds if we did not use them. Director
Hansen explained that the funds can accumulate, often to be used for large improvement projects.
Manager Fehst commented that city staff has come up with a good formula, with the decision
ultimately being up to the council, reiterating that no other city in the metro area pays 100% of
the assessment.
Bill Barton -44th Ave NE stated that the residents are not opposed to paying for a portion of the
assessment; noting that a 15% reduction is insignificant.
Director Hansen stated that the proposal is in line with assessments paid by most residents that do
not live on a MSA street. Hansen reported that the additional 15% reduction is offered to address
the issues brought up at this meeting, including increased traffic volumes, and larger vehicle
traffic.
Councilmember Nawrocki reported that he lived on a MSA street in the past, and understands the
inconveniences associated with doing so. Nawrocki shared his opinion that the money that comes
from the state should be used specifically for the state aid streets, as an offset for the residents.
Malcom Watson — 1717 491h Ave NE noted that there are disadvantages to living on a MSA road,
as well as advantages.
Director Hansen reviewed the proposed Option B; adding the additional 15% subsidy.
Motion made by Councilmember Nawrocki to eliminate the assessment policy for state aid
streets. Motion failed, for lack of a second.
Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Schmitt to amend the State
Aid Street Assessment Policy including an additional 15% discount to include traffic volumes.
Ayes: Mayor Peterson, Councilmembers Schmitt, Williams and Diehm. Abstention:
Councilmember Nawrocki. 4 Ayes, I Abstention; Motion Carried.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated that he abstained because he felt a 15% discount was not
substantial. City Manager Fehst explained that there is an additional 15% discount being offered.
Director Hansen reported that he will send out information to clarify the council's action. Mr.
Ramacher requested that he send the information to residents residing on MSA streets as well.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Anllrove a Zonina Amendment for the rezonina of the nronertv located at 4220 Central
Avenue NE.
Associate Planner Elizabeth Holmbeck reported that Le Nguyen (property owner) is requesting a
rezoning of the property from Limited Business District (LB) to General Business District (GB).
According to the applicant, it has been hard to find and retain tenants since the building was
purchased in 2007, due to the economic downturn. Additionally, the owners have lost potential
tenants, because the proposed uses were not permitted in the Limited Business Zoning District.
Recently, El Taco Loco, a taco food truck that currently operates in the parking lot outside of the
building, approached the owner and requested to rent indoor space.
Mayor Peterson questioned why the northern building is not included in the request. Ms.
Holmbeck explained that there are two separate owners, and only one owner has submitted a
zoning application.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated that he is concerned with the accessibility from the rear parking
area. Community Development Director Joe Hogeboom reported that if the item is approved, El
Taco Loco would be moving its food truck restaurant inside, freeing up three additional parking
spaces.
Councilmember Schmitt questioned if SAC charges will be required if a restaurant is constructed.
Director Hogeboom stated that there would be both SAC and WAC charges, and the tenant is
aware of the code requirements associated with a tenant remodel.
Property Owner Le Nguyen commented that the rear parking area is primarily used by tenants.
Nguyen commented that the restaurant would be primarily take -out, requiring limited seating.

The bill list dated 7/23/14 of 2014 bills was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the
bills be paid. Board members noted the purchase of a convertible throw, a tablecloth with the
library's name and logo for use at events.
The 2014 accounting dated 8/6/14 was reviewed.
Smith commended the library staff on the detail given in the operational reports and noted the
increase in gate count for July 2014 over July 2013.
Old Business:
1. A graphical comparison of gate count and intemet use over a year -long period was given to
the Board. Members noted that the internet use is static, while the gate count fluctuates and
discussed the limited amount of computers, how services are limited, and how the library
could provide a broader range of services with more computers.
2. Board Members discussed steps towards a new library. Members noted the importance of
being prepared for large and small questions. Dougherty remarked that many patrons are
happy with the service and programs of the current library and asked members to consider
how to convey the benefits of a new library. Tantanella described the fantastic American
Girl and author programs located in a cramped space with limited lighting. Diehm
recommended talking to the Police /Fire staff about their transition to a new building. Smith
recommended highlighting the ways in which children learn with visuals, movement,
activities, and the opportunity to exercise creativity.
Smith expressed that the great service at the library is due to the staff and that the library staff
will remain consistent. Additionally Smith highlighted that a new library would allow adults
the opportunity to contemplate, kids the opportunity to move, and give teens a place to go
and be together. Dougherty shared the success of the recent Anime/Manga program where
teens came together and interacted around a common interest.
Members noted that they have received tremendous support from the community for a new
library, but acknowledged the need to inform the community about the referendum and the
importance of voting. Discussion continued regarding the formation of a community group
in support of a new library, the recent petition requesting a referendum, and the role of the
Library Foundation, Library Board, and Library staff in Library advocacy. Dougherty
1-8/6/14 14
invited Board members to attend the Monday night City Council meeting concerning the
decision regarding the petition and referendum.
3. Dougherty submitted the final bills for the 21St Century Learning grant. Children's
programming will be continued with in house planning and budget.
New Business:
1. Members received a handout showing a five year analysis of library usage including; Gate
count, Internet users, Internet minutes, circulation and reference questions. Smith noted the
fairly consistent annual gate count and stated that a broader range of services, visibility, ease
of access, meeting rooms, and study rooms would increase gate count and the only way to
drive service is to build a new library. Smith asserted the importance of using the
information to identify potential opportunities for growth in service.
Items from the Floor:
1. The Board received updated contact information for members.
2. The Board was invited to the Annual Foundation Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on September

Background:
The City of Columbia Heights was awarded a 90/10 matching grant of $180,000 to construct a
right turn lane on the west side 49�h Avenue. At the regular meeting on September 8`h, the
Council authorized staff to seek proposals for Federal Aid submittals, preliminary and final

our request. The engineering service fees are as follows:

provided a response substantially higher than the other two. To analyze this further, staff has
reviewed each of the proposals and broken down the work effort proposed for each of the phases
requested in the RFP. Those details by firm are as follows:

DATE: Ck-�q4
Background:
Existing Unit #134 is a Ford F -250 cargo van purchased in 2003 with a projected life expectancy of 10
years. This vehicle is powered by a gas engine and has a recorded mileage of 60,000. It is used
primarily for transporting staff, tools, and materials to the Utility Department's different job sites.
Vehicle maintenance and repair records indicate that $23,840 has been spent on Unit #134. The Vehicle
Maintenance Supervisor has rated the condition of this vehicle as fair. The 2014 Utility Department
Capital Equipment budget has allocated $33,100 for the replacement of Unit #134.
Analysis /Conclusion:
Public Works staff has carefully reviewed past, current, and projected use of Unit #134. A summary of
those findings is as follows:
The existing Utility Department Ford van is in fair operating condition. It would be an improved means
of transporting Park Department employees and materials to and from work sites and should be
considered for replacing another fleet vehicle. Staff recommends repurposing Unit #134 for use as a
second line vehicle in the Park Department. Unit #134 would replace Park Department Unit #235, a
1996 Ford van with recorded mileage of 81,000. The body of Unit #235 is in poor condition. Staff
recommends disposal of Unit #235 in a public auction and transfer of Unit #134 to the Park Department.
State of Minnesota purchasing contract pricing is not available for transit cargo vans. Staff has obtained
the following price quotes:
Midway Ford $29,296
Wolf Motors $29,910
Boyer Ford $31,722
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the replacement of Unit #134 and the purchase of one (1)
new Ford 250 R2C Cargo Van Medium Roof from Midway Ford in the amount of $29,296. Funding
shall be equally from the Sewer and Water Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, funds 432- 49499-

Background:
Unit #234 is a 2006 Ford F -350 4x4 with a Western 8 foot snow plow. This vehicle currently
has a recorded mileage of 38,000 and a life expectancy of 10 years. It is assigned to the Park
foreman. The 2014 Park Department Capital Equipment budget has allocated $32,528 for the
replacement of Unit #234.
Analysis /Conclusion:
Public Works staff has carefully reviewed past, current, and projected use of Unit #234. A
summary of those findings is as follows:
The existing truck is in good condition and should be considered for replacing another fleet
vehicle. Staff recommends repurposing Unit #234 for use in the Streets Department. Unit #234
would replace Unit #221, a 1994 Chevy 4x4 with a recorded mileage of 83,000 that is in poor
condition. Staff recommends disposal of Unit 4221 in a public auction and transfer of Unit #234
to the Streets Department.
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the replacement of Unit #234 and the purchase of
one (1) new Ford F250 4x4 ($28,110) with a Western V -plow ($5,112) for a total of $33,222
from the State of Minnesota Purchasing contract. Funding shall come from the Parks Capital
