Motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING TO DESIGNATE LOOKOUT PLACE AS NO PARKING Residents present: Veronica Johnson, 351 Jolly Lane Mohamed Botan, 401 Lookout Place (arrived late) Kathy Young, Assistant City Engineer, advised that at the Traffic Commission meeting on December 7, 2015, Commissioners called for a Public Hearing to consider restricting parking on Lookout Place. Ms. Veronica Johnson submitted a request for "No Parking" on the south side of Lookout Place, the concern being the combination of intersections close together and the width of Lookout Place, especially during the winter months. Several area residents attended the Traffic Commission meeting on December 7. The Commissioners and residents discussed the "No Parking" request. All residents in attendance agreed with no parking on the south side of Lookout Place from Bakken Boulevard to 5th Street. Resident opinions were split concerning no parking on the north side of Lookout Place. Visibility of traffic on 5th Street is an issue when vehicles are parked on the north side of Lookout Place. The private streets in the area have no street parking on either side. At the December meeting, the Traffic Commission called for a public hearing to consider "No Parking" on the south side of Lookout Place and "No Parking" for 30' from each corner on the north side of Lookout Place between Bakken Boulevard and 5th Street. Ms. Veronica Johnson faces Lookout Place. She was concerned about parking on the south side of Lookout Place and other residents were concerned about parking on the north side. Mr. Mohamed Botan stated he lives on the corner, so this is the only place to park in front of his house. Olson explained that there is a visibility issue at the corners and we want to make it safe for both sides of the street. That 7 Traffic Commission Minutes — January 4, 2016 Page 2 is why no parking will be allowed 30' from the corner on the north side. Motion by Olson to designate "No Parking" on the south side of Lookout Place between Bakken Boulevard and 5th Street and designate "No Parking" 30 feet from each corner on the north side of Lookout Place between Bakken Boulevard and 5th Street. Motion seconded by Clerkin. Motion passed unanimously. Explained to residents that motions will be on the January 11th council meeting agenda. OLD BUSINESS None OTHER OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS REQUEST TO REMOVE NO PARKING DESIGNATION ON THE EAST SIDE OF JACKSON STREET On behalf of Immaculate Conception Church, Mr. Steve Smith has requested the "No Parking" signs for Saturday and Sunday be removed. The signs are on the east side of Jackson Street near the north end. The church feels there is no longer a need for a no parking restriction. In checking with the Fire and Police Chiefs, there are no concerns with removing the "No Parking" signs. Staff considers a Public Hearing necessary to discuss removing the "No Parking" designation as residents may object to on street parking. For example, the streets adjacent to First Lutheran Church are posted "No Parking on Sundays" based on resident request. Motion by Olson to call a Public Hearing for the next Traffic Commission meeting to remove "No Parking Sunday" and "No Parking Saturday" signs on the east side of Jackson Street from 41St Avenue to approximately 230 feet south of 41st Avenue. Seconded by Carlson. Motion passed unanimously. OTHER NEW BUSINESS Commissioner Clerkin requested no parking 20' from the southeast corner of 5th Street and 40th Avenue so it is possible to see around trucks. There is a daycare center there now and no stores. He stated he has almost been hit many times coming from that intersection and would like it addressed at the next meeting. Young stated she will put it on the agenda. REPORTS A. CITY ENGINEER None B. POLICE Captain Austin reported the speed survey for Huset Parkway showed speeds higher than he anticipated, but nothing close to 50 mph. Speeds shown are averages with the top speed being 10 Traffic Commission Minutes —Jan uary4, 2016 Page 3 around 37 or 38 mph. He stated that the curve in the road will throw speed perception off. However, in a residential area 37 or 38 is getting up there. Olson stated that with the park nearby he can see the concern. The plan is to mark the pedestrian crossing more clearly once the weather clears up. C. COMMISSIONERS Doty questioned what a long time meant regarding removing the "No Parking" signs on Jackson Street. He stated he has parked across from the person in question three times recently. States this person does come out in good weather and when in good health. Doty saw him last year and two years ago. He can still protest. Captain Austin stated he has not received a police call in years. The commissioners agreed that they need to revisit this at the next meeting when someone from the church is present. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Olson, seconded by Doty, to adjourn the meeting at 5:54 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Sue Schmidtbauer Public Works Secretary M UNAPPROVED OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2016 CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Ed Carlson at 5:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Members present: Commissioners Ed Carlson, Brian Clerkin (arrived late), Kevin Doty, and Leonard Olson Staff Present: Kathy Young, Assistant City Engineer Lenny Austin, Police Captain Sue Schmidtbauer, Public Works Secretary Council Liaison: Donna Schmitt APPROVAL OF MINUTES Motion by Doty, seconded by Olson, to approve the minutes of January 4, 2016, as presented. Motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING TO REMOVE "NO PARKING" DESIGNATION ON THE EAST SIDE OF JACKSON STREET Residents present: Steve Smith representing Immaculate Conception Church, 4030 Jackson Street At the January meeting the Traffic Commission called for a public hearing to consider removing the "No Parking Saturday 4 PM to 6 PM" and "No Parking Sunday 6 AM to Noon" designations on the east side of Jackson Street from 41St Avenue to approximately 230' south of 41s' Avenue. There are five different parking "zones" along Jackson Street. The Public Hearing notice was published in the Sun Focus and property owners within 300' of the proposed change in parking designations were notified of the hearing by mail. On behalf of Immaculate Conception Church, Mr. Steve Smith requested the "No Parking" signs for Saturday and Sunday be removed. The church feels there is no longer a need for a no parking restriction, and, as parishioners are aging, the church would like to offer parking closer to the door. The "No Parking" signs were originally put up because of a protester who would park his car mounted with very offensive signs. The "No Parking" signs did not hinder the protester from displaying his signs; he simply parked around the corner. Since this protester has not been seen for over one year, the church is requesting removal of the no parking signs to recover the parking spaces. Motion by Olson to remove the "No Parking Saturday 4 PM to 6 PM" and "No Parking Sunday 6 AM to Noon" designations on the east side of Jackson Street from 41St Avenue to approximately 230' south of 41St Avenue. Motion seconded by Carlson. Motion passed unanimously. 12 Traffic Commission Minutes — February 1, 2016 Page 2 OLD BUSINESS REQUEST TO DESIGNATE THE SOUTH SIDE OF 40TH AVENUE FROM 5TH STREET TO 20' EAST OF 5TH STREET AS "NO PARKING ". Commissioner Clerkin has requested no parking 20' from the southeast corner of 5tH Street and 40th Avenue so it is possible to see around trucks. He stated he has almost been hit many times coming from that intersection. The police report shows only one accident in five years, which had nothing to do with visibility. Clerkin still feels visibility is a safety issue. He has talked to other residents who agree and they would like some type of buffer. Vans are parked all the way to the edge of the corner requiring cars to pull out further into the intersection. There is currently only a daycare center on the corner and no stores. Young stated this will require a public hearing to give business owners an opportunity to speak. Motion by Clerkin to call a Public Hearing for the next Traffic Commission meeting to request no parking 20' from the southeast corner of 5th Street and 40th Avenue. Seconded by Doty. Motion passed unanimously. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS None OTHER NEW BUSINESS None REPORTS A. CITY ENGINEER Commissioner Tyler moved to Shoreview and has resigned from the Traffic Commission. Carlson requested we send him a thank you letter. Young stated she will draft one up for everyone to sign at the next meeting. Schmitt suggested that we remind the council secretary of Commissioner Tyler's resignation. She also advised that we did receive an application requesting appointment to a Commission. They put down Planning & Zoning, Traffic, and Charter so there is a possibility he could get appointed. Application was from an Adam Schell at 4128 Arthur Street. Apparently he has only lived in Columbia Heights for a short period of time. A disabled parking sign has been requested by the resident at 4220 Van Buren Street. The sign will be installed when weather permits. B. POLICE None 13 Traffic Commission Minutes — February 1, 2016 Page 3 C. COMMISSIONERS Doty inquired about putting up a seasonal "Turtle Crossing" sign from May to July on either 49th Avenue and /or Innsbrook Parkway to warn drivers about turtles crossing the street. The turtles leave Highland Lake to lay eggs from May to July and many of them get run over. He would like to see some type of signage. Other cities put up seasonal signs for this type of thing. Young stated she will discuss it with the Public Works Director but seasonal signs are somewhat difficult.

On behalf of Immaculate Conception Church, Mr. Steve Smith requested the "No Parking" signs for Saturday and Sunday be removed. The church feels there is no longer a need for a no parking restriction and as parishioners are aging, they would like to offer closer access to the main door of the church. The Fire and Police Chiefs do not have a preference concerning the "No Parking" signs. ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS: The Traffic Commission held a public hearing to consider removing the "No Parking Saturday 4 PM to 6 PM" and "No Parking Sunday 6 AM to Noon" designations on the east side of Jackson Street from 41st Avenue to approximately 230' south of 41st Avenue at their meeting on February 1, 2016. The Public Hearing notice was published in the Sun Focus. Property owners within 300' of the proposed change in parking designations were notified of the hearing by mail. No one spoke in opposition of the proposed change in "No Parking" designation. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to remove the "No Parking Saturday 4 PM to 6 PM" and "No Parking Sunday 6 AM to Noon" designations on the east side of Jackson Street from 41st Avenue to approximately 230' south of 41st Avenue.

The county published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a turnkey system for RFID and AMH and received two proposals in August 2015. The RFP included a joint powers purchasing agreement so that Columbia Heights Public Library (CHPL) might purchase items under the contract executed by Anoka County with the chosen vendor. Two vendors submitted proposals and provided onsite demonstrations of equipment and software in September 2015. The vendors, 3M Library Systems and TechLogic, are Minnesota companies who have previously provided library technology to ACL. The recommendation of the Anoka County RFID /AMH selection committee (comprised of county library, purchasing and technology staff) was to split the project and award the RFID tags, self -check stations, and security gates to 3M Library Solutions and the automated materials handling equipment to TechLogic. RFID technology uses tags which are placed on books and media discs to provide identification and security for those items. It replaces the electromagnetic security systems currently in use in the libraries. RFID tags identify individual collection items for management of checkouts and returns, enable streamlined collection inventory and provide security for the items within a single device. RFID self- service checkout stations integrate with the library system software to record checkouts on the user's library account and deactivate the security on multiple items simultaneously. Security gates will alarm if a person exits the library without properly checking out an item. ACL seeks to enhance library productivity by utilizing RFID /AMH technology for labor- intensive tasks such as material sorting and delivery. They anticipate that using machines rather than people to lift and sort materials will reduce repetitive stress injuries and back strains thereby reducing worker's compensation costs. ACL also wants to enhance customer service by streamlining self- checkout and reduce material losses with modern security gates. CHPL will experience similar benefits including labor cost savings for checking out the 100,000 library items which are borrowed each year. During the period that ACL was negotiating a contract for RFID 3M sold their Library Systems division to Bibliotheca, Inc. which is now the largest global company providing RFID library solutions. All 3M Library Systems employees have been retained by Bibliotheca and will continue to provide installation and ongoing support for the equipment. CHPL will need to add RFID tags to all collection materials in order to continue to partner with ACL to provide library service to the community. The construction of the new building also provides an opportunity to add self- service checkouts for customers and updated security gates at the building entrance to prevent theft of materials. It is staffs intent to tag all CHPL collection items prior to moving to the new building. PROJECT BUDGET The base cost to purchase and install security gates, staff workstations, customer self -check stations, RFID tags for books and media, one -month rental of a conversion station, and a three -year contract for support maintenance of equipment is $63,509. 26 City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Page 2 To authorize a contract with Bibliotheca (formerly 3M Library Systems) for purchase and installation of security gates, staff workstations, self -check stations, RFID tags for books and media discs, one -month rental of a conversion station, and a 3 -year maintenance contract on the hardware for a base cost of 63,509. The Library Board has reviewed the detailed plan for RFID implementation and endorsed it at their February 3, 2016 meeting. The Columbia Heights Library Foundation has had a preliminary discussion of the details of RFID implementation and has verbally agreed to fund the project. The Foundation will receive final cost estimates and take formal action at their February 10, 2016, meeting. Staff is seeking Council action at this time to insure that contracts can be executed and equipment received in time to allow tagging of the collection (approximately 75,000 items) during the month of March. The security gates and self -check stations will be installed in the new building in May and all parts of the system will be operational when the new building opens in June 2016. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to award a contract for purchase and installation of security gates, staff workstations, self -check stations, RFID tags for books and media discs, one month rental of a conversion station, and a 3 -year maintenance contract on the system to Bibliotheca (formerly 3M Library Systems) for a base cost of $63,509 contingent upon receiving a grant from the Columbia Heights Foundation Library Foundation for the entire cost of the project ; and furthermore to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same.
