Meeting adjourned at 7:28 p.m. Respectively Submitted Katie Bruno, City Clerk/Council Secretary Meeting of: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL Date of Meeting: June 1, 2015 Time of Meeting: 7:00 PM- Following the EDA Meeting Location of Meeting: Conference Room #1 Purpose of Meeting: WORK SESSION CALL TO ORDER /ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at 7:27 PM Present: Mayor Peterson, Councilmembers Murzyn Jr, Nawrocki, Schmitt and Williams. City Manager Walt Fehst, Director of Community Development Joe Hogeboom, Assistant Community Development Director Loren Wickham, Public Works Director Kevin Hansen, Facilities Maintenance Supervisor Eric Hanson, Library Director Renee Dougherty, City Clerk Katie Bruno. Potential Changes to Interim Use Permit Requirements Director of Community Development Joe Hogeboom explained that City Staff is requesting the definition of our interim use permit be expanded to include other uses, such as outdoor tents. The building code and the fire code both have standards in place to provide for the health and safety of the community. Director Hogeboom requested the council provide guidance in the drafting of an ordinance to address the additional uses that may fall under the interim use permit. Mayor Peterson would like to see the Community Development Department produce some of the routine request in house rather than require council approval. Director Hogeboom clarified that any modification would be by ordinance through the Public Hearing process. Administrative Fines for Zoning Violations Director of Community Development Joe Hogeboom explained that currently there are two ways for staff to enforce violations to the zoning code; issuance of a citation or the issuance of a series of warnings. It is not possible to issue a citation without obtaining a driver's license from the subject; this is not always possible. The state allows for administrative fines for a variety of violations. Hogeboom explained this could be an additional tool to obtain compliance; it would be used following other attempts to resolve the issue. The city would be authorized to charge a fine of $6o per infraction. If the subject wishes to appeal the fine, the council would serve as the appeal board. Solar Power for City Buildings Director of Public Works Kevin Hansen reported that Facilities Maintenance Supervisor Eric Hanson has been researching the options of solar power for city buildings. Director Hansen reported that legislative changes have made solar powering more attractive to cities. Three options are available; Made in Minnesota, Roof Top Solar Program and Solar Garden program. Director Hansen gave an overview of each of the available programs. Tax credits are being offered through 2o16. Hansen stated the recommended next steps would be to order an Engineer's Study, at a cost of about $1o,000. If the study is done, and we proceed with the project, the cost for the study would be included in the contract, resulting in no cost to the city. Plan for Existing City Library Building Director of Public Works Kevin Hansen suggested the council develop a plan for the existing library including completion of a market analysis, consideration of possible uses and order a facilities condition analysis. Councilmember Nawrocki suggested putting up a "For Sale" sign. It was recommended to wait until a market analysis is complete. LaBelle Park Project: Change Order No. i Director of Public Works Kevin Hansen reported that the project bids were received in February, and were exceptionally good. The lower overlook portion of the park was not included in the original bids. We are now able to afford the proposed changes, and the Park & Recreation commission has recommended council approve the changes. The contractor would complete the project in July of this year. Update on Grants Director of Public Works Kevin Hansen reported that the following grants will be on the June 8 council agenda. • Library — MWMO $600,000 for storm water at the new library- location. • RCWD — Silver Lake Boat Landing Pond Recon $53,000 a partial portion of the cost for an infiltration basin and aquatic plantings. The following item will come before the council at a later date. • MNDOT — HSIP for Central Avenue Lighting $891,000 for additional lighting on both sides of Central Avenue between 46th and 52n3, as this area has been noted as one of the worst areas for both automobile and pedestrian accidents. Other Items Mayor Peterson asked about the process for getting some work done on 37th Ave between Stinson Blvd. and Central Ave. Director Hansen reported he has been in contact with the City of Minneapolis regarding 37th Avenue. The project is not in the City of Minneapolis' 5 year program at this time. Hansen suggested the possibility of partnering with Minneapolis for the project. Councilmember Nawrocki asked for an update on the new logo implementation. City Manager Fehst reported that there are some small issues that need to be worked out. Meeting Adjourned at 8:50 PM Resp ctively Submitted, &wvit - Katie Bruno, City- Clerk /Council Secretary COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: June 8, 2015 AGENDA SECTION: CO T ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S NO: 7 JM POLICE APPROVAL ITEM: Approve Transfer of Public Safety BY: Scott Nadeau BY: Building Range Rental Fees/Proceeds from DATE: June 1, 2015 DATE: Sale of Recycled Brass Shell Casings Background: The Columbia Heights Police Department leases out use of the gun range at the Public Safety Building to various other law enforcement agencies including the Brooklyn Center, Robbinsdale, Crystal and Roseville Police Departments. To date in 2015, the department received $8,300 in Range Rental Fees. These amounts were deposited into the city's General Government Rents account. In addition, $945 was generated through the sale of brass shell casings collected at the range to a recycler. In total, $9,245 has been collected in range rental and proceeds from the sale of recycling of brass shell casings. The Police Department requests that these funds be transferred to its regular budget, line item 2010 Minor Equipment, in order to use this money for the purchase of six X26P Tasers. This purchase completes the replacement of the department's Tasers X26 Tasers, which have reached reliable end of life and are in need of replacement. The Police Department has already purchased six X26P Tasers, and this will complete the department's replacement of this less - lethal use of force option. CHPD policy requires officers to carry a Taser while they are on duty unless one is not available for them. The cost to purchase these Tasers with battery packs and extended warranties is $7,845. The balance of $1,400 is requested to be used for purchasing supplies such as Taser cartridges and holsters. That amount is requested to be transferred to line item 2171, General Supplies. Recommendation: Staff recommends passing the recommended motions (below). Recommended Motions: Motion: Move to transfer $7,845 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees to the Police Department's Minor Equipment line item 101.42100.2010. These funds will be used to purchase six X26P Tasers with battery packs and extended warranties. Motion: Move to transfer $1,400 of monies received in Public Safety Building Range rental fees ($455) and recycled brass proceeds ($945) to the Police Department's General Supplies line item 101.42100.2171.

The AHDTF is partially funded by a federal grant administered by the State of Minnesota that covers partial reimbursement of overtime incurred by the AHDTF officers. The Police Department has assisted School District #13 with traffic direction on 49th Avenue at Valley View /Columbia Academy. We've also provided an officer to assist with security during home basketball and football games. For these details, we were reimbursed in the amount of $7,725.50 ($4529.50, $980, and $2,216). Per our agreement with Anoka County, we are reimbursed $30 per detox patient transported. These transports go to Mission Detox in Plymouth, Ramsey County Detox in Downtown St. Paul, and Dakota County Detox in Hastings. So far in 2015, we have received checks for $1230 ($540 and $690) as reimbursement for these transports. The Columbia Heights Police Department has been participating in the statewide Safe and Sober (Toward Zero Deaths, or TZD) program. We have received reimbursement from Coon Rapids, the agency coordinating the grant, in the amount of $1,883.35 ($393.91 and $1489.44) for the overtime expended on that initiative. RECOMMENDATION The above mentioned funds were deposited into the General Fund. The Police Department is requesting that these funds be transferred back into the 2015 Police Department Budget, Overtime Line Item 2010. RECOMMENDED MOTION Motion: The $4,000 received as AHDTF overtime, and the $7,725.50 received from School District #13 for traffic enforcement and security details, and the $1230 received for detox transports, and the $1,883.35 received as reimbursement under the Safe and Sober grant (TZD) be transferred to line item 1020, Overtime. This total is $14,838.85. COUNCIL ACTION: AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT NO: 71) ITEM: SOLAR POWER FOR CITY BUILDINGS CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: June 8, 2015 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS BY: Kevin Hansen BY: DATE: June 3, 2015 DATE: Background: In the Facilities Maintenance Department, the Supervisor has been looking at ways to reduce costs in the operations of our buildings. Some recent examples are the lighting changeouts to LED in the liquor stores, integrating an energy management system for cooler controls at Top Valu 1 & 2; coordinating the recomissioning efforts at the Public Safety Building so that the complex geo- thermal system works as it should — summarized on the attached sheet. Recently, he has been investigating solar power for City buildings. Several cities, counties and schools have either installed solar power or are investigating the addition of solar power in recent years. In Minnesota this is largely due to both Federal Tax Credits and State Programs providing incentives for solar power. A large push is being made in both 2015 and 2016 as the solar programs are either being reduced or eliminated at the end of 2016. Three programs are available for adding solar power to our City Buildings: • Made in Minnesota • Rooftop Solar • Solar Gardens Made in Minnesota is a state lottery based system providing rebates for equipment made in Minnesota. The program is for smaller systems up to 40KW. Staff applied for this program and the liquor store at 4950 Central Avenue was selected by the State. Rooftop Solar is a new program started in 2015 for larger systems from 100KW to 1,000KW utilizing Xcel Energy capacity credits and demand charges which provide reductions in the electric billings we pay to Xcel. In both of the programs above, there are no upfront costs to the City. A third party investor purchases and installs the systems and operates them within a specific timeframe: 10 years for MIM, and 15 or 20 years for the Rooftop Solar program. The City enters into a Power Purchase Agreement with the third party for the program timefraine, projected with a modest annual cost savings. At the end of the term, the ownership of the panels is turned over to the City along with the full energy benefits. If the City is interested in the benefits of solar power, the next step would be to conduct a detailed engineering report which would review the roof structure; finalize the size of the system at each building; design the electrical tie -in at each building; detail the project scope and costs; create a Power Purchase Agreement and finalize the guaranteed savings under the programs. Attached is a PowerPoint presentation that staff reviewed at the June ls` meeting. Motion: Move to authorize the preparation of an Engineering Report that would analyze the feasibility of and provide the cost benefit of adding solar power at: Top Valu 1, the Public Safety Building, Public Works, and the new Library.

This will leave the existing building as a City asset with an undefined use. Analysis/Conclusions: Discussions in the past three years during the Library project have varied with various suggestions on what to do with the existing Library once it is vacated. These have ranged from selling the building, re -using the building as a public use, leasing the building, demolishing the building and selling the land, or repurposing the building for another public or private use. Staff, at this point, is not recommending any direction on the future of the existing library building. In order to determine a direction for what may be the best interest of the City for a use of the existing building, staff recommends the following: • Conduct a market analysis of the building to establish both potential end uses and a value of the building for resale potential. • Conduct a condition analysis of the structure and equipment in the building to establish potential future costs if the City retains ownership of the building. Having these two pieces of information would then provide a basis for a future discussion on what is in the best interest of the City of Columbia Heights for the existing Library building. Motion: Move to direct staff to prepare: 1) A market analysis for the existing library building at 820 40`h Street; 2) A condition analysis of the existing facility. COUNCIL ACTION: 27 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT NO: 7F ITEM: LABELLE PARK PROJECT: CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: June 8, 2015 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: I CITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS BY: Kevin Hansen BY: DATE: June 2, 2015 DATE: r/ Background: In February the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $378,954 for site improvement to LaBelle Park as detailed in the Master Plan: 1. Removal(s) of the boardwalk / vertical sheetpiling / patio overlook area 2. Providing slope restoration 3. Bituminous trails relocation and construction. 4. Two infiltration ponds serving the parking lots off of 41St and 42nd Avenues 5. A small picnic shelter and arbors replacing the basketball court 6. Overall site landscaping 7. Sidewalk and steps Due to the uncertainty in the bidding market at the time the plans were prepared, several add - alternates were included. While all of the alternates were awarded, the only improvement not included from the overall Master Plan was the lower overlook patio — as shown on the attached Master Plan document. Following the bid award, the Park and Recreation Commission requested staff to prepare a plan and obtain pricing to complete the lower overlook and bring it back to the Commission for consideration. Attached is a detailed plan for the lower overlook based on the Master Plan. It has a walking area, natural limestone bench seating, park benches, colored concrete and heavy landscaping both along the pond slope and in the center patio area — creating "color" drifts. Much of the pricing was already bid in Odesa's original bid. Pricing for ornamental fencing and Kasota limestone (product used in other parks) was provided. The Change Order amount for this work is $37,487. The original project budget was $425,000 so the additional work can be added within the project budget. At their May 27th regular meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission unanimously approved a recommendation to the City Council to approve Change Order I in the amount of $37, 487 to Odesa lI. Recommended Motion: Move to authorize Contract Change Order No. 1 for City Project No. 1306 to Odesa II, LLC of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota in the amount of $37,487 for a new contract amount of $416,441.

June 8, 2015 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO: 7G PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: HORWITZ NS /I CONTRACT BY: Kevin Hansen BY. EXTENSION DATE: June 1, 2015 DATE Background: The City has contracted with the firm of Horwitz NS /I since 2009 for the preventive maintenance of building HVAC systems. In June of 2010 Murzyn Hall was added to the maintenance contract under the same terms and conditions as other covered facilities. On September 24, 2012 the City Council approved a three -year contract extension with Horwitz NS /I for the provision of HVAC Preventative Maintenance Services for our City facilities including City Hall, library, MSC, liquor stores, pump and lift stations, and park buildings. The Public Safety Building was added to the contract in November of 2012. Analysis and Conclusions: The in-place three year contract with Horwitz NS /I for the covered City facilities runs through November 23, 2015. The contract then automatically converts to a year -to -year basis. Staff is pleased with the quality of services provided by Horwitz NS /I and would recommend continuing with Horwitz NS /I for the provision of Preventive Maintenance Services for the current buildings for a one -year extension, under the same contract terms. The increase of 2% is also consistent with the prior annual increases over the three -year contract period. A one -year contract extension is intended to sequence with the completion of the new Library, at which time staff recommends obtaining proposals for a new contract term. Recommended Motion: Move to approve a one -year contract extension with Horwitz NS /I for HVAC Preventative Maintenance Services for City facilities effective November 23, 2015 through November 23, 2016 at a 2% increase over the 2015 contract rates, and to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER OI: AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: NO: 7H I PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: ACCEPTANCE OF RCWD COST- BY: Kevin Hansen SHARE AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF DATE: June 1, 2015 $50,000 FOR SILVER LAKE BOAT LANDING STORMWATER RETROFITS CITY MANAGER BY: DATE: Background: A Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL, was approved by both the State and Federal EPA in 2010 for Silver Lake. A fact sheet from the MnPCA is attached that provides background on the Silver Lake TMDL. Cities, counties and other public entities, such as the Three Rivers Park district, contribute surface water runoff to the lake. Contributors are required to implement pollution reduction measures in accordance with the TMDL, identified in the Implementation Plan of the TMDL. The targeted pollutant for Silver Lake is phosphorus. Analysis and Conclusions: The approved Silver Lake TMDL Implementation Plan identifies specific pollution reduction activities or strategies. The Silver Lake watershed strategies being used to meet the TMDL include urban retrofitting and redevelopment, management, and regulatory controls. Under the retrofitting category, the following is excerpted out of the Implementation Plan: Urban Retrofitting and Redevelopment Retrofits are proposed within the Silver Lake subwatershed to assist in achieving the TMDL. As redevelopments are presented, additional improvements will be explored by the communities and the RCWD. During redevelopment, municipalities are required to meet RCWD stormwater infiltration rules (see Regulatory Controls section below). The RCWD is prepared to work with municipalities to enhance required infiltration projects (i.e. fund enhancements to go "above and beyond" requirements of RCWD rules). These retrofits may include but are not limited to the projects outlined below, raingardens, water quality ponds, and existing pond improvements. Columbia Heights Boat Ramp Improvements A boat ramp, owned by the City of Columbia Heights, currently includes a regional water quality pond. Modeling indicates that this pond currently provides a low 42% removal of total phosphorus for the contributing drainage area (northern portion of the Southwest Subwatershed). Opportunities exist for enhancing the total phosphorus removal efficiency, including expanding the area and/or depth, adding additional filtration components, or a skimmer device. The RCWD supports projects that demonstrate water quality improvements, and are reviewed on a first come first serve basis on available funds. The RCWD does require a formal agreement for the acceptance of the grant award, attached. The RCWD will provide funding following complete plan and specification approval and operation and maintenance plan approval. Staff applied and was approved for a grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District in the amount of $50,000 to replace the pond at the Silver Lake boat landing. The project is estimated to cost $225,000. Staff intends to also apply for additional funding to the State of Minnesota under the Legacy Program, which also supports improvements with an approved TMDL. Recommended Motion: Move to enter into a cost -share program for the Silver Lake boat landing in the amount of $50,000, and furthermore authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. Attachments: MnPCA Silver Lake Fact Sheet Cost -Share Agreement COUNCIL ACTION: 35 0 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency wq- iw8 -12a Silver Lake Total Maximum Daily Load for Excess Nutrients Water Quality /Impaired Waters #8.12a • December 2009 he list of impaired waters developed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) includes Silver Lake because it exceeds the water quality standard for nutrients for aquatic recreation. Excess nutrients such as phosphorus from stonnwater runoff create poor water quality conditions causing frequent summer algal blooms which limit recreational activities. Based on the Federal Clean Water Act, waters that do not meet water quality standards are "impaired." The Clean Water Act requires states to develop a clean up plan for each impairment affecting a water body. The clean up plan and the process used to create it is a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study. A TMDL must identify all sources of the pollutant causing a water body to violate standards. The TMDL also detennines the amount by which each source must reduce its contribution to ensure a water body meets applicable water quality standards. Silver Lake Silver Lake is a 72.5 -acre basin located partially in the city of Columbia Heights and partially in the city of St. Anthony Village, and the watershed is located within four municipalities and three counties (Anoka, Hennepin and Ramsey). Silver Lake has a 678.6 -acre watershed. Hart Lake drains to Silver Lake from the southwest and a series of natural wetlands are found northeast of the lake within Silverwood Park, previously a Salvation Anny camp, but now owned by the Three Rivers Park District. Silver Lake outlets to Ramsey County Ditch (RCD) 3 which outlets into RCD 2 and eventually to Rice Creek and the Mississippi River. The main land uses in the Silver Lake watershed are single family residential (40 percent), institutional (13 percent), multi- family (12 percent), and commercial (11 percent). Silver Lake impairment The goal of this TMDL is to quantify the pollutant reductions needed for Silver Lake to meet state water quality standards. The nu neric targets for shallow lakes in the North Central Hardwood Forest Ecoregion are summer averages of <60 µg /L total phosphorus concentration, <20 gg /L chlorophyll -a concentration, and >1.0 meter of Secchi depth. December 2009 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 520 Lafayette Rd. N., St. Paul, MN 55155 -4194 • www.pca.state.mn.us 651- 296 -6300 • 800 - 657 -3864 TTY 651- 282 -5332 or 800 - 657 -3864 • Available in alternative formats 36 The summer average total phosphorus concentration in Silver Lake ranges from approximately 40 gg /L to 110 gg /L for the years in which measurements were taken. Chlorophyll -a ranged from approximately 18 gg/L to 52 gg /L. Water clarity, as measured by Secchi depth measurements ranged from approximately 0.55 meters to over 1.2 meters. Pollution reductions needed A reduction of 15 percent in phosphorus loading to Silver Lake would be required to consistently meet water quality standards under average precipitation conditions. In -lake phosphorus load management and the reduction of phosphorus from urban runoff in the watershed by retrofitting Best Management Practices (BMP) would have the most impact on reducing phosphorus loads and improving water quality in Silver Lake. Implementation strategies The Silver Lake watershed is fully developed with minimal existing water quality treatment, and limited opportunities are available to reduce external loading. Small, incremental reductions are possible through retrofit as redevelopment occurs and through the implementation of BMP throughout the subwatershed. Examples of BMP would be to increase ponding and filtration in the Silver Lake watershed through the use of regional ponding, rain gardens, native plantings, and reforestation; retrofit detention ponds; encourage shoreline restoration; and educate property owners about proper fertilizer use and low - impact lawn care practices. Additional implementation strategies would also include in -lake reductions of phosphorus loading through strategies such as fisheries management and in -lake treatments.

Proiect Description and Pumose The proposed Columbia Heights Public Library site is approximately 2.38 acres of a 3.45 acre parcel owned by the City of Columbia Heights. The site is bounded by Central Avenue Northeast (TH 65) on the west and is located north of 39th Avenue Northeast. The east 1.0- acres of the Library site are planned for future development. The site is a vacated commercial site that was formerly occupied by a Burger King restaurant and retail center with a history of different uses. Environmental and geotechnical investigations have been undertaken and soil and ground water contamination may be present on the site. In general, the site and building design will be approached to minimize soil disturbance and stormwater infiltration will likely not be feasible. The library will be easily accessible by pedestrians, public transportation, bicyclists and cars. Approximately 55 off - street parking stalls will be provided with access from Central Avenue and 39th Street. The parking lot will incorporate various stormwater best management practices (BMP's) to meet MWMO goals for the project. Education and outreach are important goals in the MWMO's participation in this project. The design team and the City will work with the MXXT40 to incorporate interpretive site features, as well as integrated curriculum within the Library programming related to MWMO goals. M \VM0 staff will work with the project design team and proposed BMPs will be judged against the NM`MC)'s stormwater design standards, including both rate and water quality control. The City is interested in treating water from adjacent undeveloped areas within the Library site, which will be considered when determining stormwater capacity of the site. Proposed Storm Water Best Management Practices • Information and education for the public visitors to the site with messages on the MWMO, receiving waters, BMPs, and site conditions. • Discharge of roof drainage on grade to disconnected impervious surface • Riprap pretreatment cells or vegetated filter strip pretreatment • Tree trenches or boxes • Bioretention basin with underdrain (lined due to site limitations) • Surface sand filter • Permeable paving and subgrade system — reduced impervious surface and water quality volume storage • Collection and conveyance system — storm drains, pipes and channels • Flow controls, outlet protection, and stabilization' • Sidewalk snow melt system (hydronic in concrete) to reduce chloride use and runoff Exhibits showing the project location are attached and made part of this agreement. 2.

The program provides funding directly to local governments to hire full time firefighters to meet NFPA 1720 compliance of minimum staffing and deployment of firefighters to begin safe and effective firefighting operations. Fire departments, including Columbia Heights, have a difficult time recruiting and retaining daytime Paid -on -Call Firefighters. Even with daytime auto aid from neighboring departments we do not meet the minimum standards on a regular basis. The addition of two full time daytime firefighters would allow the Fire Department to meet this standard more often while also providing the needed staff to assist with other core fire department duties such as fire prevention, public education, and inspections. The grant provides: base wage and fringe and some training overtime. There are no matching fund requirements of the City, though the City would have to pay for overtime, uniforms and equipment. The grant period is for 24 months from time of hire and there is no requirement to maintain employment after the 24 months. The City would not be able to reduce current full time staff levels during this same 24 month period. Other benefits of the additional daytime firefighters to the City of Columbia Heights includes a reduction of overtime for minimum staffing needed to perform the daytime inspections, the reduction of daytime callbacks, provide consistent and faster response to multiple calls, eliminate the need for a summer seasonal inspector, and eliminates the need for consistent daytime Paid -on -Call staffing. The grant application process requires a letter of support from the governing body of the City. A copy of the letter is attached. If awarded the City is not obligated to accept the grant. Recommended Motion: Move to adopt letter of support for the 2014 Fire Department Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant application. COUNCIL ACTION: 52 What is the purpose of SAFER? The purpose of SAFER Grants is to provide funding directly to fire departments and national, state, local, or tribal organizations representing the interests of volunteer firefighters to assist them in increasing the number of firefighters to help communities meet industry minimum standards and attain 24 -hour staffing to provide adequate protection from fire and fire related hazards, and to fulfill traditional missions of fire departments. SAFER Grants achieve this purpose by funding: (1) the hiring of new firefighters, (2) the rehiring of firefighters that have been laid off, (3) the retention of firefighters facing imminent layoffs, or (4) the filling of positions that were vacated through attrition. Additionally, SAFER Grants fund fire departments and national, state, local, or tribal organizations representing the interests of volunteer firefighters to assist with the recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters. Are there any funding limits for SAFER? There are no annual salary limits, and there are no cost - sharing requirements for funds under the FY 2014 appropriations. Which categories of activities are eligible for funding under SAFER? SAFER is a competitive /discretionary grant program comprised of two categories: 1. Hiring of Firefighters Grants provide financial assistance to help fire departments rehire firefighters that have been laid off, retain firefighters facing imminent layoffs, fill positions that were vacated through attrition, or hire new firefighters. The goal is to assist departments to improve or restore staffing levels to ensure they have adequate personnel to respond and safely perform at incident scenes, providing protection from fire and fire - related hazards for their communities. This category provides two -year grants to assist fire departments by paying the salaries and benefits of the SAFER - funded positions. 2. Recruitment and Retention of Volunteer Firefighters Grants are to assist fire departments and national, state, local, or tribal organizations with the recruitment and /or retention of volunteer firefighters that are involved with, or trained in, the operations of firefighting and emergency response. The goal is to create a net increase in the number of trained, certified, and competent firefighters capable of safely responding to emergencies likely to occur within the fire department's geographic response area. Recruitment and Retention category grants can have a period of performance of up to four years. 53 If a department is applying for both SAFER Grant categories - Hiring of Firefighters and Recruitment and Retention of Volunteer Firefighters, does the department need to submit two different narrative statements? Yes. Departments interested in applying for both a Hiring Grant and a Recruitment and Retention Grant must submit two separate applications, one for each category. Each application will require its own unique narrative statement. Are SAFER Grants "renewable" after the period of performance? No. SAFER is a competitive /discretionary grant program. Program funds are not renewable and funding is only available to grantees during the period of performance associated with the award. Current or former grantees do not have a competitive advantage over applicants that have not previously received a SAFER Grant award. Hiring of Firefighters Who is eligible to apply for funding in the Hiring of Firefighters category? Career, combination, and volunteer fire departments may apply for funding in the Hiring of Firefighters category. What are eligible expenses in the Hiring of Firefighters category? The only allowable costs under the Hiring of Firefighters category are salary and associated benefits (actual payroll expenses). SAFER Funding will pay for the total salary and benefit costs for each funded position. What are some ineligible expenses in the Hiring category? • Pre- application costs, such as grant writer fees, administrative costs, and indirect costs associated with hiring or rehiring of firefighters • Costs to train and equip firefighters (However, the salaries and benefits of firefighters hired under the SAFER Grants funding while engaged in training are eligible if the firefighter is employed by the department.) • Uniforms and physicals • Overtime costs (except overtime costs routinely paid as a part of the base salary or the firefighter's regularly scheduled and contracted shift hours in order to comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act [FLSA]) • Salaries and benefits of firefighters who are current employees or were hired prior to the award date (except under the retention activity) • To fund promotions (e.g., pay a current member a higher salary by placing them in a new SAFER - funded position) What is the Period of Performance under the Hiring category? The FY 2014 SAFER Period of Performance for the Hiring of Firefighters category is two years. Are firefighters hired prior to award eligible under the Hiring category? No. Firefighters hired and /or rehired prior to award are not eligible under the hiring category. The only exception is those positions under the retention activity. 54 What are the requirements for the matching funds in the Hiring of Firefighters category? There are no matching funds requirements for hiring grants. What happens after the grant concludes? Does a department have to retain the SAFER - funded positions employed? No. Awarded recipients have no obligation to retain the SAFER- funded positions after the conclusion of the period of performance for FY 2014 SAFER Awards. What type of firefighter positions will be funded? Only full -time firefighter positions will be funded. Full -time positions are those funded for at least 2,080 hours per year (e.g., 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year). Volunteer and mostly volunteer fire departments may hire individuals to fill officer -level positions (e.g., chief, fire inspector, training officer, safety officer). However, as the goal of SAFER Grants is to enhance incident scene safety, all applicants must certify that the primary assignment (more than 50 percent of duties) of all SAFER - funded positions will be an operational assignment (fire suppression, including staffing a fire suppression vehicle) regardless of collateral duties. The grant program will consider funding job -share positions if sufficient justification is provided. What is a job -share position? Ajob -share position is a full -time position occupied by more than one person. For FY 2014, there is not a cap on the number of employees who may share a single job -share position. Can a department apply for job -share positions if it has never previously utilized job -share employees? For applicants who are applying under the rehire, retention, and /or attrition subcategories, if the position was not job- shared when the position was vacated, then you will not be eligible to job -share the position if award. New job- sharing positions are only eligible for applicants applying in the new hire activity. If a fire department receives a SAFER Award, how much time does it have to hire the positions? For all grantees under the Hiring of Firefighters category, a default 180 -day recruitment period begins when the application is approved for award. The two year period of performance automatically starts after the 180 -day recruitment period, regardless of whether the grantee has successfully hired or rehired the requested firefighters. If a grantee is able to rehire or hire their SAFER- funded firefighters during the 180 -day recruitment period, the period of performance may begin at that time. For grantees awarded under the Retention category, the period of performance can begin immediately. However, in both cases, grantees must submit an amendment requesting that the period of performance start before the end of the 180 -day recruitment period. The period of performance cannot be started later than 180 days after the recruitment period. Can grantees submit a payment request for pre -award expenditures? Pre -award expenditures are not reimbursable in the Hiring category. However, costs incurred after award but prior to the start of the official period of performance (i.e., during the 180 -day recruitment period) are eligible for reimbursement. Any costs 55 incurred prior to the period of performance will be charged against the total grant budget. Firefighters hired prior to the date of award are not eligible for SAFER Funding unless the award is for retaining firefighters. The 2014 SAFER Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) states that grantees cannot layoff any firefighters during the two -year period of performance. What if the department loses positions to retirement or other attrition? Must it fill those vacancies? Yes. For the two -year period of performance all FY 2014 Grantees awarded in the Hiring category are required to maintain their staffing at the level that existed at the time of award, in addition to the SAFER - funded positions. At the time of award, grantees under the Hiring of Firefighters category must submit a current (pre- SAFER) roster listing paid operational /firefighting personnel in support of NFPA 1710 or NFPA 1720, who are in full -time or job share positions. The program office will work with a grantee to establish the correct staffing maintenance number which combines the number of pre -SAFER and SAFER hires. Once this is established, grantees must agree to maintain this number throughout the two -year period of performance by taking active and timely steps to fill any vacancies. Grantees who are unable (due to documentable economic hardship) to fill firefighting positions that are vacated through attrition (e.g., resignation, retirement) may petition FEMA for a waiver of staffing maintenance requirements. An approved waiver allows a grantee to decrease and reestablish the staffing maintenance number agreed to at the time of award by the number of positions that a grantee is unable to fill. In order to qualify for this waiver, the economic hardship must affect the entire public safety sector in a grantee's jurisdiction, not solely the fire department. Waivers will not be granted for SAFER - funded positions. Grantees who fail to maintain this level of staffing risk losing the federal funds awarded under this grant. What is the difference between layoff notices that need to be submitted for rehiring and retention? Rehiring - Requests for grants to rehire laid -off firefighters are limited to requesting the number of firefighter positions already lost due to layoffs enacted in the two years prior to the start of the application (February 9, 2015). • Retention - Requests for grants to retain firefighters who face imminent layoff are limited to those firefighters that have been issued a formal layoff notice, prior to the start of the application period, that specifies a date for the layoff action that is within 120 days of the close of the application period (March 6, 2015); the layoff's must become effective on or before July 4, 2015. Do departments need to provide a copy of the layoff notice if they want to rehire or retain firefighters? How can an applicant attach this documentation to the online application? Yes. A copy of the official, signed, and issued layoff notices that correspond to the positions being requested must be attached to the Hiring grant application for applicants who request funds to rehire firefighters who were laid off and /or to retain firefighters at risk of layoff. When you select the Rehire and /or Retention option in the Request Details section of the application, an option will appear that directs you to attach an electronic copy of the layoff notice. The layoff notices may be in either a PDF or a Microsoft Word document. You may attach multiple documents if needed (Note; only .doc and .pdf files will be accepted). A department hired SAFER firefighters in a prior year's grant with a contract that expires this year and the firefighters will not be laid off, but their jobs will be terminated. Can the fire department apply for an FY 2014 SAFER Grant to keep them employed? Yes, in this case the fire department may apply for a grant to retain the firefighters; however, you must contact the Program Office to discuss the documentation that must be included for your unique situation. 56 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Mayor Gary L.
