ADJOURNMENT Walt Fehst, City Manager PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: The Constitution of the United States of America, the guardian of our liberties, embodies the principles of limited government in a Republic dedicated to rule by law; and WHEREAS: September 17, 2015, marks the two hundred twenty- eighth anniversary of the framing of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention; and WHEREAS: It is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this magnificent document and its memorable anniversary, and to the patriotic celebrations which will commemorate it; and WHEREAS: Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation each year by the President of the United States of America designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week, NOW, THEREFORE I, Gary Peterson by virtue of the authority vested in me as Mayor of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota do hereby proclaim the week of September 17 through 23 as CONSTITUTION WEEK and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City to be affixed this fourteenth day of September of the year of our Lord two thousand fifteen. Signed Mayor Gary Peterson, City of Columbia Heights Seal Meeting of: Date of Meeting: Time of Meeting: Location of Meeting: Purpose of Meeting: CALL TO ORDER /ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order at 7:50 PM COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL September 8, 2015 7:00 PM- Following the EDA Meeting Conference Room #1 WORKSESSION 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, Associate Planner Elizabeth Holmbeck, Finance Director Joe Kloiber, City Clerk Katie Bruno. Discussion related to the City's Sign Code Elizabeth Holmbeck, Associate Planner explained that the current sign code has many inconsistencies and has not had a thorough review since 2001. Holmbeck suggested working with the Public Arts Commission in looking for ways to incorporate art into the sign code. Councilmember Schmitt agreed that it is important for the sign code and the design guidelines to be consistent. Councilmember Nawrocki suggested strengthening the exiting ordinance and prohibiting signs in windows. Director Hogeboom summarized that the intent is not to make the current sign code less restrictive, the intent is to make the code easier to understand and to administer. Director Hogeboom reported they will work on the item over the coming months, and bring to the council for final consideration and approval. Discussion regarding moratorium on Auto Related Businesses Elizabeth Holmbeck, Associate Planner explained that recently a Conditional Use Permit came before the council to allow for an auto repair business on Central Ave. The request was met with opposition by the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as the Council. The Planning & Zoning commission has requested a moratorium on all auto related uses along Central Ave between 37th Ave NE and 52nd Ave NE. Associate Planner Holmbeck suggested limiting the auto related business to the Central Business District, noting that there are some appropriate areas along Central Ave. for auto related businesses. Director Hogeboom reported some of the arguments heard indicate that restaurants, retail and service shops are preferred to be near the new library. Director Hogeboom questioned if the council would support either a one year, or six month moratorium, and either in the Central Business District or along the entire Central Ave. The time would be used by staff to look at the zoning districts to determine compatible uses. Councilmember Schmitt requested a list of all the auto related businesses. City Manager Walt Fehst clarified that the Central Business District on Central Ave. runs from 39th Ave. NE to 42nd Ave NE. Director Hogeboom stated it is a good time to review and put zoning in place that would better meet the goals of the City. 5 Councilmember Nawrocki expressed concern with the crowding of vehicles on 39th Ave NE. Manager Fehst agreed the area is overcrowded, noting it is an industrial district, and complaints have been minimal. Manager Fehst summarized the request is to limit auto related businesses for one year, along the Central Business District (39th Ave NE — 42nd Ave NE) to determine what development would be most appropriate. Councilmember Schmitt questioned if the City should protect the empty lot on 47th Ave and Central Ave. Director Hogeboom stated there is a Development Agreement in place for that property. Director Hogeboom suggested looking at the Central Business District for a six month period would be adequate, indicating if necessary the moratorium could be extended. City Manager Walt Fehst suggested following the recommendation of the Planning Commission and issuing the moratorium for six months along the entire Central Ave. corridor, focusing on the Central Business District first, and requesting an extension if necessary. Councilmember Nawrocki requested attention be given to 39th Ave NE between Jefferson and Jackson. Director Hogeboom stated he will look at the area and provide a report to the council. Discussion of 2016 Budget City Manager Walt Fehst reported the council will be adopting the preliminary levy for 2016 at the September 14th council meeting. The levy will include the voter approved library referendum, as well as a 1.9% levy increase. Finance Director Joe Kloiber gave an overview of the 2016 budget, as compared to the 2015 budget. The first year debt service for the library is $480,000, and there is a one year lag in the fiscal dipartites program. In 2017 approximately 30% (of the library debt service) will be subsidized by fiscal disparities. Councilmember Nawrocki questioned where the remaining $2 -3 million will come from. Kloiber reported that the City Council has made approved transfers from the existing fund balance. Director Kloiber reported the total levy increase for 2016 is 1.9 %, the lowest levy increase in almost ten years; due largely to Council's action in March of 2015 to pay down debt early. Kloiber reported that the Building fund and Government Equipment fund will need some inflow in the coming years, as they may be exhausted in the next 7 -8 years. Director Kloiber reported that all but one of the labor agreement have been settled, generally a 2.5% salary increase was implemented, with insurance increases, the average departments expenditure increase is 2.7 %. Councilmember Nawrocki suggested Community Development staff be reduced as a result of selling Park View Villa. Director Kloiber reported the Fund Balance is quite high, it was suggested to pay down debt on the Public Safety Building in 2018, in order to draw the balance down. Director Kloiber reported the city is currently finishing up a Utility Rate Study, to project costs for the coming five years. 2016 has a combined increase of 2 %, for all four utilities. Director Kloiber reported the council will have two department specific worksessions, October 5th and November 2 nd Councilmember Nawrocki questioned why we are scheduled to adopt the preliminary levy at the September 14th meeting, when statute allows us to certify it at a later date. Director Kloiber noted that the statute applies to City levies, not EDA and HRA. 6 Nawrocki stated he would like more time to discuss the proposed 2016 budget prior to adopting the preliminary levy. Director Kloiber responded that there will be time to discuss budgetary items at the upcoming Council meeting and department worksession. Councilmember Nawrocki questioned the status change of a library employee from a part -time to a full -time position; questioning how this was done without council approval. Director Kloiber explained that the city has about five employees that work between 30 and 40 hours weekly. Due to the Affordable Care Act, the City is in the process of phasing those positions, some to 40 hours per week, some to 29 hours per week. Kloiber reported these changes are reflected in the 2016 budget. City Manager Walt Fehst requested council submit any information requests to him prior to Monday's meeting.

Public Hearing to adopt Resolution 2015 -049 being a Resolution levying and adopting the assessment for alley light area no. 677 -45. (Tabled from August 10th meeting). Public Works Director Kevin Hansen reported additional property owners were noticed of the scheduled public hearing. An overview of the area was presented, noting the proposed location of the light. Councilmember Schmitt questioned the benefit of working with the City, rather than directly through Xcel energy. Hansen commented that in addition to allowing the cost be distributed among benefiting properties, the city also has a greater variety in lighting options; including a cobra head light, that would produce a more linear lighting pattern. Caleb. Driscoll , 1434 42nd Ave NE reported that he is the petitioner, and did so partially due to foot traffic that occurs when people cut through from Circle Terrace. It was reported that drug paraphernalia has been found in the grassy area. Mr. Driscoll stated that he would be in favor of liner lighting option. Thomas Rustemis, 1427 Circle Terrace expressed concern with the proposed location of the light, as well as question if a lit area would attract more people. City Manager Walt Fehst stated lighting is a generally a good deterrent to undesirable activities. Fehst reported the assessment would be $1 per month for the benefiting properties. Ladora Hankton, 1428 -1430 42nd Ave NE stated she is favor of the additional lighting, as she has had a few incidents occur. Sally Jaros, 4140 Reservoir Blvd. reported she has lived in her house for over 40 years, and has not experienced any problems in the back area. Ms. Jaros liked the idea of having the light shine in a linear pattern, away from her property.

Passed this 3rd day of August, 2015 MOTION BY: Szurek SECONDED BY: Schmitt AYES: All ayes PUBLIC HEARING 1. Consideration of Sale of 4631 Pierce Street NE Wickham reminded members that Home Detail approached the City last spring about purchasing the EDA owned lot at 4631 Pierce St. NE. A public hearing must be held before property can be sold. The 2015 Estimated Market Value is $50,600 according to Anoka County property records. Earlier this year we were considering adding this lot into our Scattered Site Program and listing it at $25,000. The EDA should establish a price to sell the lot for and if the current interested party doesn't accept it we should market and sell the lot to another contractor /individual. The resolution prepared for you doesn't specify a specific buyer. Staff recommends approving to sell 4631 Pierce Street NE and entering into a purchase and redevelopment agreement with a buyer to construct an owner occupied single family house. 19 EDA Minutes Page 3 August 3, 2015 Jeff Magdik from Home Detail submitted a letter to the Commission detailing his opinion regarding this lot. He stated that he has obtained bids for the retaining wall that affects his offer. He believes the wall needs to be completely removed and replaced and the bids he received for that work came in between $21,000 and $27,000. He would still like to purchase the lot for $7,500 which is the price being paid for the lots in the scattered site program. After some discussion, he said he would be willing to pay up to $15,000 for the lot. Questions /comments from members: Hogeboom told members that of the remaining lots, this is one of the better lots. It is larger and a new house on it would complete that block. He went on to tell members that we have a lot of interest in the vacant lots that the City owns, and that staff will be bringing a proposal to put them on the market at the September meeting. Staff will prepare a list, recommend a listing price and put them up for sale on MLS once the Commission considers the recommendation. Hogeboom stated there is a list of at least 8 other builders who want to purchase the lots, so he told members it may be the best interest of the EDA to establish the prices and put them up for sale rather than accepting a decidedly lowball offer. He told members that he had met with Crystal staff regarding their program and gave a brief overview of how successful they have been at selling their lots now that the market has improved and there are numerous interested builders. Peterson asked Magdik about his plans for the retaining wall. He stated he would like to see the lot sold and a new house constructed sooner rather than later. Schmitt stated that because we have sold numerous lots in the $7,500- $10,000 range, she believes $15,000 would be a fair price. She said the EDA's goal is to get them developed, not necessarily to make money in the process. Nawrocki stated that the County Assessor has a value of $50,600 and we should use that as a guide for the selling price. He said if land values are too high for this property than maybe they need to be adjusted throughout the City. Herringer asked Magdik what other lots he was wanting to purchase. He replied he has interested parties who want the two Polk Street lots. Herringer asked him how much he paid for the Fridley lots along University Avenue. Magdik said he paid between $25,000- $30,000 for each of them. 20 EDA Minutes Page 4 August 3, 2015 Hogeboom reminded members that we can't necessarily get locked into the mindset of having to sell the remaining lots for $7,500 which was the price for the scattered site lots as that was a special program designed to generate interest during a down time in the economy. He said the program was successful as we only have two lots remaining and that Timbercraft will be constructing a model home on the Reservoir lot which should sell quickly. Public Hearing Opened. The only one present to speak on this issue was Magdik froin Home Detail. He again expressed his desire to purchase the lot for $7,500- $15,000 and inade it clear that he felt the City should accept his offer. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Nawrocki, to establish a price of $50,600 for 4631 Pierce Street, based on the estimated market value set by Anoka County. The motion died due to a lack of a second. Motion by Herringer, seconded by Szurek to establish a price of $20,000 for the sale of this lot to Home Detail. Motion by Nawrocki to amend the motion to raise the price to $25,000. Again this amendment failed due to a lack of a second. There was some discussion that followed regarding a time frame that this offer from the City would be valid. To clarify things after the discussion a new motion was made. Motion by Herringer, seconded by Szurek to establish a price of $20, 000 for the sale of'4631 Pierce Street to Home Detail. This price will be valid for 15 days if he wishes to accept the set price. If not, the property will be added to the list that will be considered at the September meeting prior to being listed with the MLS. Roll Call Vote: Ayes- Szurek, Schmitt, Murzyn, Herringer, Williams, and Peterson. Nays Nawrocki. Nawrocki went on record that he opposes this price as it is less than half of the County's Estimated Market Value and he feels it is much too low. MOTION PASSED. Herringer stated that if the offer is not accepted within the 15 day time period, he does not feel the Commission should entertain any more negotiations with Home Detail. 21 EDA Minutes Page 5 August 3, 2015 Motion by Herringer, seconded by Szurek, to waive the reading of Resolution 2015 -14, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTIONPASSED. Motion by Herringer, seconded by Szurek, to adopt Resolution 2015 -14, approving the sale of land and the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement between the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority and the Buyer. Ayes - Szurek, Schmitt, Murzyn, Herringer, Williams, and Peterson. Nays- Nawrocki MOTION PASSED.

Resolution 2015 -15 HRA Lew Budget 2. Resolution 2015 -16 EDA Lew Budget Hogeboom provided members with the 2016 budget for all of the Community Development Department (EDA and Planning & Inspections). Although some of the Department's budget (Fund 201) is not controlled by the EDA, the EDA has historically reviewed and approved the entire Community Development Department budget. The budget is ultimately approved by the City Council. The EDA portion of the budget is "Fund 204 ", and the attached resolutions serve as a recommendation to the City Council for levying both an EDA and a HRA levy. The Department's operating budget is relatively straightforward due to the size of the department. Hogeboom explained that the 2016 budget includes an overall increase in EDA expenses due to a reallocation of the way in which salary expenses are charged between Fund 201 and Fund 204. The Associate Planner position is no longer recognized in fund 204, while 90% of the Assistant Director position is recognized in Fund 204, 80% of the director position is recognized in Fund 204, and 10% of the Secretary II — Permits and Licensing position is recognized in Fund 204. This reallocation was made to reflect more accurately staffs time spent in the two different areas of the department. 23 EDA Minutes Page 7 August 3, 2015 Revenue is expected to increase in the EDA fund due to levy increases based on market value. Revenue is expected to increase in the Planning & Inspections fund due to anticipated increased permit, license and fee income. The complete Community Development Department budget will be distributed to the City Council later in 2015. Staff recommends approval of the Levies as presented. Questions from members: Joe Kloiber, Finance Director, was present to answer questions. He explained the history behind having two budgets for the EDA and HRA. Kloiber reviewed the figures with the members. He said the HRA levy is set at a percentage of the market values. Due to property values dropping every year since 2008, the amount of the levy also decreased each year. It has recovered some for 2016 as market values have now increased once again. Nawrocki said the HRA levy should be lower since we will no longer be responsible for managing Parkview Villa, and as a result, staff should be cut to lower expenses. Hogeboom said staff will still be doing administrative work after the closing for a year or more. There will be outstanding bills to pay, reports to be done for HUD, and closing of various files to meet legal obligations. Nawrocki then asked about line item 6999 and why the amount increased so drastically. Kloiber explained that is an internal transfer between funds to cover the reallocation of staff funding. Schmitt asked if the HRA and EDA can be combined. She also asked where the proceeds from the sale will go after closing. Kloiber told members that the proceeds will go into the established funds for PVVN and PVVS for the time being. He also explained that the HRA will have to remain in existence since the loan payment will be made to the HRA at the end of 30 years. The possibility of combining the HRA with the EDA is being researched by the Attorneys. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt, to waive the reading of Resolutions 2015 -15 and 2015- 16, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTIONPASSED. Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt, to approve Resolution 2015 -15, Resolution Authorizing the Levy of a Special Benefit Levy pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.033, Subdivision 6 and Approval of a Budget for Fiscal year 2016 Ayes- Szurek, Schmitt, Murzyn, Williams, Herringer, Peterson. Nays- Nawrocki MOTIONPASSED. Nawrocki stated he is voting against the motion because he feels the expenses should be reduced for the department budgets due to the sale of Parkview Villa. 24 EDA Minutes Page 8 August 3, 2015 Motion by Williams, seconded by Schmitt, to approve Resolution 2015 -16, Resolution of the Economic DevelopmentAuthority (EDA) in and for Columbia Heights Adopting the 2016 budget and setting the EDA Levy.

Antenna Lease Agreement Hogeboom explained that as a component of the negotiated sale of Parkview Villa North and South to Aeon Housing, the Economic Development Authority will retain revenue from the cellular antenna located on top of the building until December 31, 2027. The existing Lease of the facility is between the EDA and T- Mobile, and began in 1997. Rent commenced at $12,000 in 1997 and increased each year by the greater of either 4% of the previous year's annualized rent, or an amount equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index ( "CPI "). The original Lease offered several renewal terms, the last of which ends on December 31, 2016. Currently we are receiving $23,372/year from the current lease terms. To maintain this income stream, it is necessary to enter into a new Lease with T- Mobile that will begin on January 1, 2017, as well as to obtain an Easement for the property from Aeon to allow access to the antenna area. The new Lease was mutually agreed upon by EDA staff, Aeon and T- Mobile, and is subject to the same terms of the existing Lease. It is necessary for the EDA to approve the Lease and Easement agreements prior to the sale of the property. Copies of both the proposed Lease and the proposed Easement were provided to members. Staff recommends approval of the motions provided them concerning the Parkview Villa Cellular Antenna Facilities Easement and Lease. Questions from members: Hogeboom stated we were able to re- negotiate the same terms with T- Mobile extending the lease from January 2017 - December 2027. Nawrocki asked what type of signal is broadcast from the antenna. Hogeboom stated it is a cellular antenna for T- Mobile phones only. Nawrocki then asked what happens to the lease after 2027. Hogeboom stated it could be renewed if T- Mobile and Aeon wished to do so, but the City would no longer have any rights to it. 27 EDA Minutes Page 11 August 3, 2015 Motion by Szurek, seconded by Williams, to authorize the President and the Executive Director of the Economic Development Authority to execute the Easement Agreement with Aeon for Parkview Villa Cellular Antenna Facilities.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Except as reasonably used in the ordinary course of the operation of the Facilities, and in accordance with all applicable Laws, the EDA represents and warrants, that the use of the Easement Area and operation of the Facilities will not generate, and the EDA will not permit to be stored, disposed of, or transported to or over the Property, any Hazardous Materials. "Hazardous Materials" shall be interpreted broadly and specifically includes, without limitation, asbestos, fuel, batteries or any hazardous substance, waste or materials as defined in any Hazardous Materials Law. 6. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE; DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Subject to Section 13 below and the EDA's maintenance and repair obligations set forth in this Agreement, Owner shall be responsible for maintaining the building and any improvements (other than the Facilities) that are located within the Easement Area at its sole expense.

INTERFERENCE. The EDA shall cause the Facilities to be operated such that they do not unreasonably and materially interfere with Owner's use of the Property. If Owner finds in its reasonable discretion that the Facilities or any part thereof unreasonably and materially interferes with Owner or its tenants' use of the Property (including but not limited to threats to public 30 EDA Minutes Page 14 August 3, 2015 health or safety), Owner may require the EDA to cause the operation of the Facilities to be temporarily discontinued, except for intermittent operation for the purpose of testing, until the interference has been eliminated. If the operation of the Facilities is discontinued in accordance with this Section and the interference cannot be eliminated within thirty (30) days immediately thereafter, and if the parties are unable to mutually agree on an alternative location on the Property in which to relocate the Facilities in accordance with Section 10 of this Agreement, Owner may terminate this Agreement; provided consent to relocate the Facilities due to an interference under this Section may be withheld by either party in its sole discretion, and the payment for such relocation shall be as mutually agreed by the parties. If Owner determines that a cessation is necessary as a result of an emergency or threat to public health or safety, Owner may require that such cessation be accomplished immediately. 8. INDEMNITY. The EDA agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner and its partners, officers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, expenses, demands, actions, or causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses of litigation arising out of the use of the Property by the EDA or its employees, agents, tenants or invitees, except to the extent that the same arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Owner.

Owner agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the EDA and its officials, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, expenses, demands, actions, or causes of action, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses of litigation arising out of the use of the Property by Owner or its employees, agents, tenants or invitees, except to the extent that the same arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the EDA. The indemnity provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 9. OWNER'S USE. Owner hereby reserves to itself the right to use the land included within the Easement Area, including but not limited to use for cellular antenna purposes (provided that any such use must not interfere with or impair the EDA's use of the Facilities and any further lease of the Easement Area by Owner must prohibit a user from interfering with the Facilities), subject to all governmental rules and regulations, and provided that such use will not unreasonably disturb or interfere with the Facilities or prevent reasonable ingress and egress thereto for the purposes of construction, operation, use, maintenance or repair (including reconstruction) thereof. If the intended use by Owner of the Easement Area is for cellular antenna purposes, the EDA may require Owner to obtain an interference study from a professional engineer to determine if the new frequencies will cause harmful interference with the Facilities at Owner's expense. 31 EDA Minutes Page 15 August 3, 2015 10. RELOCATION. Owner reserves the right to require the EDA to relocate the Facilities to other portions of the Property acceptable to the EDA in its reasonable discretion. Owner agrees to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the EDA that are reasonably related to such relocation. Owner agrees to give the EDA not less than 30 days' notice of any desired relocation. In the event of any such relocation, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect such relocation so that the EDA has an easement for the relocated Facilities under the same terms and conditions as this Agreement. 11. INSURANCE, RELEASE, The EDA agrees to maintain at all times adequate commercial general liability insurance with respect to its access rights on the Property and the Easement Area and the use and occupancy thereof (in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence), specifically including coverage against claims for bodily injury, death and property damage occurring on or about the Easement Area and the Property, and contractual coverage with respect to the indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement. The current owner of the Property shall be named as an additional insured on such policy and all insurance policies required to be held by the EDA and the tenant under the Lease. The EDA shall furnish Owner with evidence of such coverage on or before the date of this Agreement, and upon request from time to time thereafter. 12. ABANDONMENT OF EASEMENT. If the EDA shall abandon or no longer use the Easement Area for a period of at least one year, then, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Easement shall automatically terminate and the EDA shall, promptly upon request, execute a recordable instrument to evidence the termination and release of the easement and this Agreement. 13. EMINENT DOMAIN; CASUALTY. If the Easement Area or any part thereof is taken by eminent domain or conveyed in lieu of eminent domain, then this Agreement shall terminate and any award for such a taking or damages paid as a result of such taking shall be the sole and exclusive property of the owner of the property taken. Without limiting the foregoing, the EDA shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Owner, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by the EDA on account of any and all damage to the EDA's business and any costs or expenses incurred by the EDA in moving /removing its equipment, personal property, Facilities and leasehold improvements. The EDA and Owner agree to execute any instrument of assignment as may be required by the other for the recovery of damages with respect to that party's property. If the Easement Area is damaged by fire or other casualty (whether insured or not), Owner has no obligation hereunder to reconstruct the Easement Area or the building upon which it is located; provided, however, if Owner does perform such reconstruction, the EDA may at the EDA's expense reconstruct the Facilities within the reconstructed Easement Area for operation for the remainder of the Term. If Owner does not reconstruct the Easement Area in its sole discretion, this Agreement shall terminate. 32 Page 16 14. ASSIGNMENT.

None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership between or among the parties in their respective businesses or otherwise, nor shall it cause them to be considered joint venturers or members of any joint enterprise. 17. DEFAULT; REMEDIES.

The 30 -day cure period shall not apply (a) in the case of an emergency in which event an immediate cure shall be required, and (b) where a default is not susceptible of cure within 30 days and the defaulting party commences the performance, fulfillment or observance within the 30 -day period and diligently prosecutes the same thereafter. Any action seeking one or more form of relief shall not be a bar to an action at the same or subsequent time seeking other or alternative relief. In any such action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. No delay or forbearance by a non - defaulting party shall be deemed a waiver of the subject default or any subsequent default of a similar nature, and no waiver of any right and remedy hereunder shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the person against whom the waiver is claimed. 18.

(Torrens) FIRST AMENDMENT TO SITE LEASE AGREEMENT THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO SITE LEASE AGREEMENT (the "First Amendment ") is made this day of , 2015 by and between Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority, a public body corporate and politic and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota, as the lessor, whose address is 590 4e Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (hereinafter referred to as "Landlord "), and T- Mobile Central LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, whose address is 12920 SE 38d' Street, Bellevue, WA 98006, as successor in interest to APT Minneapolis, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Tenant "). RECITALS WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to a Site Lease Agreement, dated December 4, 1996 (the "Lease ") whereby Landlord has leased to Tenant and Tenant has leased from Landlord approximately 250 square feet of rooftop space (the "Leased Premises ") on a certain building located at 965 40`'' Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, Minnesota, legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Property "); 36 Page 20 WHEREAS, the Lease provides for an Initial Term commencing on approximately January 1, 1997 and expiring December 31, 2001, with rent commencing at $12,000 for the initial year and increased each year by the greater of (i) 4% of the previous year's annualized rent, or (ii) an amount equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index ( "CPI "), all as more fully described in paragraph 2 of the Lease, subject to three (3) Renewal Terms of five (5) years each at a rental rate for each Renewal Term consistent with the terms of the Initial Term; WHEREAS, Tenant exercised its right to extend the Initial Tenn of the Lease for each of the three Renewal Terms; WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the Term of the Lease for an additional I I - year renewal term from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2027 (the "Additional Renewal Term "); WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have agreed on a rental rate for such Additional Renewal Term; and WHEREAS, Landlord intends to convey fee title to the Property to Aeon (or its successor or assign, as applicable, being hereafter referred to as "Property Owner ") and will be granted a non- exclusive easement (the "Easement ") to the Leased Premises for a period equal to the Additional Renewal Term, along with certain rights of ingress and egress thereto through the Property, subject to Property Owner's reasonable security requirements and the rights of tenants at the Property. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, Landlord and Tenant hereby amend the Lease as follows: 1. Additional Renewal Term. The Lease is hereby extended for the Additional Renewal Term, which shall run from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2027. 2. Additional Extensions. A. The parties acknowledge that upon the termination of the Additional Renewal Term, the Easement will expire and, as a result, Landlord will no longer have the right to occupy the Property for the purposes of providing Tenant its rights under the Lease. Accordingly, the following extension provisions are subject to the Owner Approval (as hereafter defined) and, in connection therewith, Property Owner's consent to its replacement of Landlord as the landlord under the Lease. B. The parties further agree that Tenant shall have the option to request extensions of the Lease for two (2) additional five -year Renewal Terms commencing, respectively, on January 1, 2028 and January 1, 2033, by providing Property Owner written notice of Tenant's request for renewal (the "Renewal Request ") at least eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Additional Renewal Tenn or the first subsequent Renewal Term thereafter. Property Owner may approve or reject Tenant's Renewal Request in writing within 60 days after Property Owner's receipt of the Renewal Request for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, any failure of Property Owner to respond to a Renewal Request shall be deemed a rejection of the Renewal Request. Property Owner's acceptance of a Renewal Request is referred to as an "Owner Approval." If Property Owner does not provide its Owner Approval in response to a Renewal Request, the Lease shall terminate in accordance with the terms upon the scheduled termination of the then- current tern. If a Renewal Request for the first Renewal Term is either not delivered or rejected, the second subsequent Renewal Term will be void. 37 Page 21 3. Rent for Additional Renewal Term. The rent for the Additional Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Term shall continue without interruption; provided that the rent shall be increased each year on January 1 by 3% of the previous year's annualized rent. After the termination of the Additional Renewal Term, if the Lease is extended as provided herein, rent shall be payable to Property Owner at the address provided in Section 6 below. 4. Lease of Landlord's Interest in Easement. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Lease is a lease only of Landlord's non - exclusive easement interest in the Leased Premises during the Additional Renewal Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that, for the Additional Renewal Term, Property Owner is a third party beneficiary under the Lease, as modified hereby, and has the right to directly enforce all of the duties and obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Upon any extension after the Additional Renewal Term, Property Owner will become the landlord under the Lease and, accordingly, a direct beneficiary, obligee, and obligor thereunder. Landlord and Tenant agree that all rights of Property Owner under this First Amendment shall inure to the benefit of its successors in title to the Property. Further, Tenant agrees that it shall name Property Owner as an additional insured under the applicable liability and casualty insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under the Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that all warranties and indemnities set forth in the Lease shall inure to the benefit of Property Owner and that each of Landlord and Tenant will exercise its rights under the Lease in such a manner so as to not injure or damage the property of Property Owner or its tenants and so as to comply with Property Owner's reasonable security and other rules respecting the Property so as to not interfere with the right of quiet enjoyment of the tenants at the Property. Recitals. The Recitals provisions are incorporated herein by this reference. 6. Notice and Cure. Tenant agrees to give Property Owner written notice of any defaults by Landlord under the Lease and an opportunity, at Property Owner's option, to cause the cure of such default within the cure periods set forth in the Lease, prior to exercising any remedies under the Lease. All notices to Property Owner shall be sent in accordance with the procedures for delivering notice under the Lease as follows: Parkview Limited Partnership Attn: Eric Schnell, Chief Operating Officer 901 North Third Street, Suite 150 Minneapolis, MN 55401 or to such alternate address or attention as Property Owner shall notify Tenant and Landlord in writing pursuant thereto. 7. Liens and Claims. Each of Landlord and Tenant agrees that it will not cause or permit any mechanic's or materialmen's liens or claims to be filed against the Property, or any part thereof, including, without limitation, the Leased Premises and shall indemnify Property Owner and its partners, and hold them harmless, from and against any and all mechanic's or materialmen's liens or claims or any other claims, whether third party claims or otherwise, arising from the Lease or the actions or omissions of Landlord or Tenant thereunder. 38 Page 22 8. Easement Agreement. Tenant acknowledges that the Easement will be granted pursuant to a certain Easement Agreement between Landlord and Aeon to be recorded in the Anoka County real estate records upon conveyance of fee title to the Property to Aeon (or its successor or assign) (the "Easement Agreement "), and agrees that Tenant's operations under the Lease, as amended hereby, will be in accordance with the recorded Easement Agreement and that, to the extent the Easement Agreement conflicts with the Lease, the Easement Agreement will control. 9. No Other Changes. Except as specifically provided herein, the Lease remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

Staff will prepare the list of properties that could be sold for redevelopment for the September meeting. Most of these lots are located in the Sheffield area. 2. Dominium will bring their plan for 55+ housing before the EDA in September. This proposed project will be similar to the one recently built in St Anthony. Nawrocki said he feels we have enough rental in the City and is therefore, against the proposal. Szurek stated she attended the Open House they had and thought the buildings were very nice and is highly in favor of the project. She said the St Anthony building was almost full by the Grand Opening. She said the units are nice and many amenities are provided for the residents. 3. The new owners of the NE Office Building are actively seeking an anchor tenant. Once one is secured they will do a major renovation on both the exterior and interior of the building. They will be putting signs up advertising "something good is coming soon" to help cover the damaged wall until such time the exterior work begins. Hogeboom also reported the bank will be staying through the winter as they are having some problems securing the lease at their new site. 4. The next regular HRA meeting will be October 27th and the next EDA meeting will be September 8th. August 27th is the date of the Groundbreaking at Parkview Villa for the remodeling that will be started after the closing. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm.

DEPARTMENT: Finance CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: BY /DATE: Joseph Kloiber /September 9, 2015 BY /DATE: BACKGROUND: As required under the city charter, the city manager provided the city council with a proposed 2016 budget and tax levy at a regular council meeting in August. That proposed budget document explains the proposed 2016 budget and tax levy with 127 pages of summary and detail information, including comparisons to the current year and two prior years. In addition to the hardcopies distributed to the City Council and the city library, this document is available on the Finance department page of the city website. Under state statute, the city council must adopt a proposed budget and tax levy resolution prior to October, and must also adopt a final version at a public hearing in December. The final tax levy can be less than the proposed levy, but it cannot be greater than the proposed levy. This provides for the state's Truth in Taxation process, whereby counties mail to each taxpayer a notice in November stating the proposed tax amounts for each property. The taxpayer thereby has time to form an opinion on the proposed tax amounts prior to the public hearing in December. In addition, during October and November, the city council holds work sessions with individual departments to discuss the proposed budget in greater detail than is typically practical at regular council meetings. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The city manager recommends approval of the proposed 2016 budget and levy as stated in the attached resolution. Also attached is a copy of the four -page analysis which supports this recommendation, from the 2016 proposed budget document. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2015 -59, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution 2015 -59, being a resolution adopting a proposed budget for the year 2016, setting the proposed city levy, approving the HRA levy, approving a tax rate increase, and establishing a budget hearing date for property taxes payable in 2016 of December 14, 2015, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the city council chambers.

Peterson 70 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY MANAGER'S 2016 BUDGET MESSAGE Background Best practices for budgeting require that an annual budget be prepared within the context of a long -term plan focused on the most significant financial issues facing the City. If each annual budget addresses a portion of these larger issues, any required changes to City services, property taxes, or utility rates, can be implemented in the most stable manner available. The City's most recent long -term financial plan covers the years through 2019. A summary of that plan is included at page 4 of this report. The plan is structured to address the following issues: • Maintain current service levels by providing for expected inflationary growth in operating expenses. • Increase capital funding to sustainable levels for buildings, equipment, and parks, by using state aid that is being phased out of the operating budget. Refer to the City Manager's 2014 budget message for a detailed explanation of this sustainability issue. • Keep property taxes to the minimum level necessary to support the above goals, while avoiding single -year spikes up or down in property taxes. In general, this approach results annual increases in the gross property tax levy which are somewhat more than the long -term rate of inflation. For 2016 however, a voter - approved increase in property taxes to pay debt service for the construction of a new library will create a greater than normal increase. This is detailed below. Recommendation Based on current analysis, the city manager judges that the proposed 2016 budget and levy, as detailed in this document, supports the goals of the long -term financial plan. Accordingly, the city manager recommends the city council approve this proposed 2016 budget and levy. Key points of the supporting analysis are explained below. Governmental Funds Revenue To finance most of the construction costs of a new city library, voters overwhelming approved a 2014 referendum to issue $7 million in bonds, which will be repaid with a property tax increase spread over twenty years. 2016 is the first year of this increase will be in effect. For 2016, the annual debt service of $480,000 for this project will be paid entirely by local taxpayers. For subsequent years, a metro -area tax subsidy known as the Area -Wide Fiscal Disparities Levy will reduce the annual local taxpayer share to approximately $336,000. In anticipation of this 2016 increase in property taxes for library debt service, the city council approved the early pay -off (in 2015) of the final two years of debt service on the 2007A series bonds. This prepayment reduced the 2016 property tax increase required under the long -term plan to 1.9% for purposes other than library construction. By itself, this would be the smallest annual increase in the gross property tax levy in many years. When combined with the increase for the new library, the overall increase in the 2016 gross tax levy is 6.6 %. These proposed changes from 2015 to 2016 are shown in the chart below. 71 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY MANAGER'S 2016 BUDGET MESSAGE City Property Taxes - Gross Levy 12,000,000 10,00c,000 8'OOC"000 6,000,000 10,233, 4,000,000 2,000,000 2015 Adopted ❑ For Voter-Approved New Library ❑ For All Other Purposes 2016 Proposed 72 2 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY MANAGER'S 2016 BUDGET MESSAGE For 2016, the City will receive approximately $1,500,000 in state aid to local government (LGA). Under the long -term plan, $775,000 of this LGA is proposed to be used within the 2016 operating and debt service budgets. The remainder is proposed to be committed to the governmental buildings fund (411) and the governmental equipment fund (431), and then used over time for capital outlays that would otherwise be paid for with property taxes. Any such outlays from these capital funds require the additional city council actions of: • A resolution appropriating a specific dollar amount for specific projects or replacements. • Award of the related contract(s) to a specific vendor, if the dollar amount is greater than the authority delegated to the city manager. Governmental Funds Operating Expenses Under the terms of the new labor agreements adopted by the city council for 2015 -2016, departments with significant employee insurance expenses have proposed expense increases of approximately 2.7% for 2016. This is somewhat offset in other areas of the budget however, so that the proposed tax - supported operating budget meets the plan guideline of no more than a 2.5% expense increase for 2016. Fund Balance of the General Fund Resolution 95 -40 established a target fund balance for the general fund of 45% of the general fund budget for each following fiscal year. At December 31, 2014, this fund balance was 62% of the budget. 2015 council actions, and the proposed budgets for 2016 -2017, will intentionally reduce this fund balance to approximately 56% of the budget by 2017. The long -term financial plan includes the assumption that a large prepayment will be made in 2018 to reduce the debt service on the public safety building. That is the first year the public safety building bonds are eligible for early redemption. This 2018 prepayment will reduce the fund balance of the general fund to the target level of 45% of the budget, and it will also reduce annual debt service by approximately $150,000 per year thereafter. Refer to the summary of the long -term plan included at page 4 of this document for additional details. Proprietary Funds The 2016 budgets proposed for the proprietary funds also follow the same guideline as the tax - supported funds, with no more than a 2.5% increase in operating expenses, except for the cost of sales. The cost of sales includes commodities purchased for resale, sewer disposal, and refuse disposal. The budget for cost of sales is determined by the separately- negotiated agreements with these vendors. A 2% increase in combined utility rates is proposed for 2016, after no increase for 2015. This proposal is supported by a utility rate study that will be presented at a budget work session.

This phase involved mass site grading, environmental remediation including removal of unsuitable material, and storm sewer. Generally this work can be described as getting the site "Pad Ready" for the building. In working with the Architect, HGA, staff chose to bid the water and sewer services separately due to MnDOT permitting requirements, because the City typically bids similar work, and bidding separately may provide better costs than under the Building General Contractor. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The work involves placing a new sanitary manhole over the existing line along the (east) northbound lane of Central Avenue, and extending the sewer service to within five feet of the new building. As trunk water main is in the parking lane of southbound TH 65 (Central Avenue), the 6" HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) water service must be bored under Central Avenue to the new library site. Near the property line, the water service will split into a 6" HDPE pipe for fire suppression and a 2" HDPE pipe for potable water, and extend to the SE corner of the new building where the mechanical room is located. Traffic control and roadway restoration is also included for TH 65. Plans and specifications were prepared and advertised for bids in the Sun Focus on August 21, 2015. The project was also advertised electronically through Quest Construction Data Network. Eleven contractors or suppliers requested copies of the bidding documents. Four bids were received and publicly read aloud at the September 9, 2015 bid opening. A detailed copy of the complete bid tabulation is available from the City Engineer. St Paul Utilities submitted the low base bid, in the amount of $84,900. Approximately $34,735 separated the next bidder from the low bidder on the base bid. An alternate bid was received for directional drilling the 6" and 2" services from the property line to the SE corner of the building. The alternate bid was $10,000. Based on the bids received, staff recommends award of contract to St Paul Utilities, Inc. in the amount of $84,900.00. Staff is not recommending Alternate 1. The Engineer's Estimate for the work was $105,000. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to accept bids and award Water and Sewer Services for the New Library, City Project No. 1410, to St. Paul Utilities, Inc. of Little Canada, Minnesota, based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid in the amount of $ 84,900.00 from Fund 450 - 51410 -5185; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same.

ATTACHMENTS: MSA Recommendation letter Bid Tabulation 77 NSA SERVICES More ideas. Better solutions. September 9, 2015 Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director/ City Engineer City of Columbia Heights 637 381h Avenue NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 -3806 RE: Chatham Road Sanitary Sewer Lift Station Bid Award Dear Mr. Hansen: Bids were opened for the above referenced project on August 20, 2015. The City received bids from four qualified contractors ranging in price from $456,238.00 to $840,860.00. A more detailed bid tab is attached to this letter. It should be noted that there was a mistake made on the bid schedule. Bid alternate A8 was also included in the base bid. The amount for this item was $15,000. We understand that the low bid is more than the City originally budgeted for the project. However, we do not feel that rebidding the project will result in better prices. Based on bidding experience from projects bid this year and discussions with contractors and suppliers, material prices have shown a significant increase in the past year since the budget estimate was completed. Our recommendation is to award the contract to Meyer Contracting, Inc. of Maple Grove, MN, in the amount of $456,238.00, with the provision that the wet well liner work would be omitted from the contract. The motion to award should be contingent on the contractor supplying the proper bonding and insurance.
