are for 25 years with no renewal and require a Letter of Intent signed by February 29, 2016.

the ordinance basis the number of violations on the property, not the tenants. Councilmember Nawrocki

PUBLIC HEARINGS
CASE NUMBER: 2016 -0301
APPLICANT: Jay Feider, Stanley Wencl
LOCATION: 3836 Stinson Blvd
REQUEST: Site Plan Approval
Holmbeck stated that Jay FIeder on behalf of Stanley and Wencl, has applied for Site Plan Approval, and is
proposing to construct a new commercial building on the property located at 3836 Stinson Blvd. NE. The
property has been vacant for approximately four years. The existing building has been demolished, and the
applicant is proposing to build a two - phased development on the vacant lot. The first phase will include a 5,120
sq. ft. commercial building, which will house a dental office and one -two other tenants.
The dentist office is an expansion of an existing Columbia Heights business, Care Point Dental, currently
located on Central Avenue. The existing office location is not expected to close rather the new one will be part
of an expansion. Phase one construction is expected to begin this spring. The owner of the property is planning
to be open for business this summer and is seeking one -two other commercial- medical tenants to lease the other
side of the building.
Phase two is for a proposed 10,240 sq. ft. building which will be marketed to other commercial- medical types
of uses. Currently there is no construction timeline for phase two. The building will be marketed to commercial -
medical types of uses that are permitted within that Zoning District. The proposed development will include a
10 foot wide bituminous public trail on the north side of the lot and a decorative water ponding feature on the
west side of the lot. A narrative provided by the applicant, is attached for your review.
P & Z Minutes

March 2, 2016
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property located at 3836 Stinson Blvd. NE. is located in the Limited Business Commercial Zoning District.
The properties located to the north and south are located in the Limited Business Commercial Zoning District.
The properties to the west are zoned in the Pubic Open Space District and the R -3, Multiple Family Residential
District. The properties to the east are located in the City of St. Anthony.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan's future land use plan, guides this property for High Density Residential. The
Comprehensive Plan designates this property and the surrounding area as an area of opportunity, specifically
guided as Transit Oriented Mixed -Use Development. The City's Mixed -Use Districts allow for residential,
commercial, and institutional uses
The intersection at Stinson Boulevard and 37th Avenue NE., just south of the subject property, is a major
roadway with in the community. Since this is considered a gateway to the City, development at this intersection
should be attractive and facilitate commercial and retail opportunities. The proposed Stinson Business Center,
which will enhance the economic viability of the area, is consistent with the goals and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The City will be reconstructing Stinson Boulevard from 37th Avenue NE to Silver Lane. The reconstruction will
include a bituminous trail along Stinson Boulevard from 37th Place to 40th Avenue NE. The street reconstruction
is expected to begin in May and be completed in October. The proposed Stinson Business Center development
will include a public trail on the parcel, which will enhance the pedestrian and transit connections to the
surrounding area and newly reconstructed Stinson Boulevard.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The subject property is not located in the Design Guideline Overlay District and as such, is not governed by the
Design Guideline standards.
SITE PLAN
The proposed Site Plan is for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Stinson Business Center Development. Phase 1
construction is expected to begin this spring. The applicant has indicated that Phase 2 will be completed at a
later date. When Phase 2 constructions plans are submitted, staff will review to ensure the plans meet the
approved Site Plan. If the plans for Phase 2 change significantly from what is approved by the City Council, the
applicant will be required to resubmit for Site Plan Approval before construction can begin. Specific site
requirements such as governance of the public trail and storm water retention pond will be outlined in a
Development Contract, and approved by the Columbia Heights City Council at a later date and prior to
construction.
1. Parking
The proposed plan identifies 34 parking stalls for Phase 1 of the development. Staff believes this number is
adequate, as it is exceeds the minimum zoning requirement. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1 parking space per
300 sf, gross floor area for a Medical or Dental Clinic. By this standard, the plan exceeds the required 17
required spaces with an additional 17 spaces (5,120 sf /300 =17).
10
P & Z Minutes
Page 3
March 2, 2016
Parking requirements are determined by the use of the property. For Phase 2 of the development, the plan
identifies 30 additional stalls. The owner is intending to market the remaining space to other medical type uses.
Staff has performed calculations based on other permitted types of uses in the Limited Business Zoning District.
If the intended use changes when Phase 2 is finished, staff believes the parking will be sufficient for the other
allowable uses in this zoning district. However, staff has added a condition to the Site Plan to ensure parking
requirements are met in the future. The applicant is required to meet the parking requirements for Phase 2
based on the use of the building.
2. Access
The site will be served by two access points. The main entrance off Stinson Boulevard is considered the primary
access point. The access on McKinley Street is the secondary access point. Due to the City's street
reconstruction on Stinson Boulevard, the business will most likely, depending on construction timing, use the
access on McKinley Street during the street reconstruction.
3. Landscape
The proposed landscaping materials are shown on the attached Landscape Plan. The applicant is proposing a
storm water retention pond to be located on the southwest corner of the parcel. The applicant is proposing to
plant trees and shrubs which will complement the layout of the development. The proposed development will be
within close proximity to Prestemon Park. The bituminous trail which will span the north end of the parcel from
Stinson Boulevard to McKinley St. will provide pedestrian connectivity to nearby amenities within the
surrounding area.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (N) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines four findings of fact that must be met in order for the City
to approve a Site Plan. They are as follows:
a. The Site Plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article.
The applicable Zoning Code requirements are achieved.
b. The Site Plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for High- Density Residential and Mixed Use Transit Oriented
Development. The proposed Site Plan for the property is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
c. The Site Plan is consistent with any applicable area plan.
There is no area plan for this parcel.
d. The Site Plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right -
of -way.
The proposed Site Plan for the Stinson Business Center meets all the minimum setback requirements and
general development standards outlined in the Zoning Code. Therefore, the properties in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed development should not be adversely impacted.

Fiorendino asked Holmbeck to review the conditions of approval for the Site Plan for the record. She went
through the eleven conditions and explained them in detail to the members.
Questions /Comments from members:
Hoium asked who would be responsible for paying for the bituminous trail on the north side of the property.
Holmbeck stated the new owner /developer will be required to pay for this as part of the Development
Agreement and Site Plan approval. He then noted the site is currently a mess and needs some major clean up.
He asked if the owner would be required to clean up the entire site and maintain it between Phase 1 and Phase
2. Holmbeck stated they would be expected to maintain the site during and after construction.
Buesgens asked if there would be a sidewalk along Stinson Blvd. Holmbeck stated there would be when
Stinson Blvd. is reconstructed. Buesgens then questioned whether the new building would include Solar panels.
Holmbeck stated she did not think that was part of their plan.
Fiorendino asked if they would be required to construct the retention pond as part of the Phase 1 construction.
Holmbeck told members they must include the water management plan in Phase 1. She also explained that
construction cannot begin until the Site Plan is approved and the contract is signed.
Buesgens asked if the Swale area would be changed. Holmbeck wasn't sure if that was part of this property or
not. Jay Fieder stated he thought the swale area is part of the property to the north of this site, under the control
of a different owner. Fieder also told members that the water retention pond has been approved by water shed
management and will be done as part of Phase 1.
Fiorendino asked what the time limits are to begin Phase 2. Holmbeck stated the Site Plan is technically in
effect for one year. If he takes longer than that, or changes the plan , he would need to come back for another
Site Plan approval.
Buesgens then asked Fieder if they had made any plans to use Solar Energy. He responded that it was not
currently part of the plan, but they are including other energy efficient methods of construction for this project.
Public Hearing Opened.
No one was present to speak on this matter.

A. Ordinance No. 1626, Text Amendment amending City Code of 2005 Relating to Automotive
Uses
This past November, the City Council voted to approve Emergency Interim Ordinance No. 1622,
imposing a moratorium on all auto related uses throughout the City of Columbia Heights for 6
months (180 days). The moratorium was approved to allow for City staff to study the need for
changes to the City's Zoning Code as it related to auto uses. Staff is proposing Ordinance No. 1626,
which includes changes to the City's Zoning Code that would restrict where auto uses are located and
require a minimum lot size of one acre. Staff plans to bring this proposal to the City Council at the
March 14th and March 28th City Council meeting. Holmbeck reviewed the amendment with the
members.
Buesgens asked if the Commission could make additional suggestions for the City Council to
consider before adopting this Ordinance. Holmbeck told her, they can, that staff would forward
additional comments to them for their consideration. Buesgens said her primary concerns are:
1. Requiring that businesses face the primary street, rather than facing the back especially if they
. are abutting a residential area, and to be able to deny a use if they don't.
2. She wants to make it mandatory that the Design Guidelines be followed. Holmbeck stated
that is always addressed in the Site Plan approval process and that there have only been
exceptions made on occasion due to unusual circumstances. Buesgens doesn't think there
should be exceptions. Fiorendino disagreed, and stated that there needs to be some flexibility
in order to work with businesses and owners since we have so many that are located on small
lots that often make it impossible to meet all the criteria.

The meeting was called to order by Chair Patricia Sowada at 6:30 p.m. Members
present were: Nancy Hoium, Steve Smith, Patricia Sowada, Barbara Tantanella and
Catherine Vesley. Also present: Library Director Renee Dougherty, Recording Secretary
Renee Rewitzer. Absent: Council Liaison Gary Peterson.
The minutes of the January 6, 2016, Board meeting were approved as corrected to
include Barbara Tantanella as present.
The bill list dated 1/6/2016 of 2015 bills was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and
passed that the bills be paid.
The bill list dated 1/20/2016 of 2015 bills was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and
passed that the bills be paid.
The bill list dated 2/3/2016 of 2015 bills was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and
passed that the bills be paid.
The preliminary draft of final 2015 accounting was reviewed. There was discussion
regarding the annual cost of eBook services. The Board inquired if there was a way to
offset this cost by assessing a fee. Dougherty said she would check with Anoka County
about the possibility of assessing a fee for Heights users of eBooks and return to the
Board with options for discussion. The Board said the library budget cannot sustain a
doubling of eBook charges next year. Dougherty said the American Library Association
has approached publishers regarding the cost of eBooks for libraries. In many instances
the cost of an eBook is three times that of the print version of the title. In other
instances publishers limit the number of times an eBook can be borrowed before
requiring the library to repurchase it. Smith asked how many publishers provide eBooks
and Dougherty replied many publishers are now providing eBooks. Vesley said eBooks
were thought to be the wave of the future but that usage has plateaued.
Smith inquired about line item 3210: Telephone being overspent. Dougherty replied
that the Library received new VOIP phones earlier than anticipated and the expense was
unplanned. However, in 2015 overall revenues exceeded expenses.
Old Business:
Update on New Library Construction
The steel beams are up; progress is approximately eight days behind schedule
but Ebert Construction believes the May 27 anticipated completion date can be
23
accomplished. Smith said he doesn't think there is enough storage space at the
new library and Vesley replied that many historical artefacts can be sent to the
Anoka Historical Society. Dougherty said outdated files, story time accessories,
and worn out items will be discarded before moving. Sowada asked if there
were any bids on the 40th Avenue building. Dougherty replied that Keith Dahl,
the new City Planner, will be in charge of marketing the building. Discussion of
the marketability of the building commenced. In the upcoming Heights
Happenings an article about the library's closure will be run. The current
building will be closed May 23 through June 12 with a grand opening on June 18.
Youth Read Down Update
Thirty -eight youth participated in January's Youth Read Down program; they
spent over twenty three hours reading and the library waived $95.00 in fines.
New Business:
RFID Implementation Project
Dougherty handed out a proposed Council letter on the Radio Frequency
Identification project seeking Board input and endorsement prior to presenting
to the City Council on February 8. The RFID project will be part of the overall
construction budget and the Library Foundation has indicated willingness to
make a grant to fund the project. The timing of Council action will allow
equipment to be received in time to allow tagging of the collection in March.
Vesley made a motion that the Library Board endorse the RFID implementation
project.. Tantanella seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Staff will
tag the collection before moving so that self- checkout capability will be available
at the new library. Volunteers are needed to help tag the collection. Rewitzer
will attend a RFID tagging training session with Anoka County Library employees
on February 5 and will train Columbia Heights staff and volunteers.
Service Hours
Discussion regarding hours for the new library has been tabled until the next
meeting. Dougherty suggested that a more consistent schedule would be
appreciated by library visitors.
Items from the Floor:
• Catherine Madison, a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award, will be talking
about her book The War Came Home with Them on February 23, 6:30 p.m.
• Smith said Pat Stinson's author visit was well done and he enjoyed the
presentation.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:27 p.m.

bartenders recommended by staff.

Old Business
A. Grand opening celebration for Huset Splash Pad (June 2016).
Hansen would like to have the grand opening in May however the regular week for a meeting falls
around Memorial Day. Waiting until June tends to be a little late. Wading pools are normally open from
Memorial Day to Labor Day. Clerking suggested having the grand opening when it is convenient and not
just on a Commission meeting date. Stroik suggested moving the May meeting to June 1. Members
indicated there isn't a need to hold a meeting, and just have an event. Hansen asked how the
Commission wants to inform the public of the event; direct invites to the immediate area would be over
1,000 people, advertisements in the paper or not, and maybe asking the police department to
incorporate a community picnic at the same time. Stroik stated that the neighborhood picnics are very
well attended. Hansen will discuss the idea with the Chief of police and report back at the next meeting.
For now consider the June 1 date for the special grand opening event.
B. Master Planning: select next park and direct staff to obtain proposals.
Payne asked what park is in need of improvement. Hansen indicated the last park that the Commission
discussed during recent park tours was Keyes Park. Payne replied he would like to see money saved to
continue the work on the Huset Park Master Plan. Hansen stated the more realistic approach is to move
forward with improvements on a park by park basis. A large amount of money is needed to complete
the work at Huset Park and the only reason why the splash pad was able to be completed was due to an
excess in LGA which doesn't happen regularly. Some funding will be coming into the park deduction
26
City of Columbia Heights October 28, 2015
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 2
funds through the new development coming. The remaining work at Huset Park is over a 2 million dollar
project. Hansen indicated the from a funding perspective the Commission may want to think about a
referendum for Huset and /or the remaining parks to be updated. Stroik mentioned that many other
cities are asking forthem this year. Stroik asked how much money will be received from the
development. Hansen replied approximately $180,000 to $200,000 from Dominium. Payne asked what
the estimated cost is to complete the Huset Park Master Plan. Hansen replied in 2004 the total was 3.5
million. Now the cost for the splash pad could be removed, using state funding for changes to the
roadway, and adding in the cost of inflation, the guess is approximately 2 million. Stroik indicated that
amount does not seem unrealistic. Hansen indicated the referendum process can take a year to prepare,
get a plan ready for improvements throughout the entire city, develop and update a capital
improvement plan, and hold public meetings. If the Commission wants to pursue a referendum they
should begin the process mid to late summer of 2016. Clerkin asked about the cost of that process.
Hansen replied the cost to put together a capital improvement plan and a referendum is about $15,000
to $30,000.
Hansen indicated Keyes Park is due for playground replacements. The playground well over twenty plus
years old and replacement parts are no longer available for it any more. McKenna Park is the second
largest park where the playground equipment has been replaced. Ostrander Park is the third largest
park where no improvements have been made. Lomianki Park has the oldest playground equipment and
is in a remote area. A brand new small playground cost begins would be in the $60,000- $90,000 range.
Payne stated McKenna Park has had recent improvements. Hansen replied yes the playground
equipment was updated. Other park improvements discussed have been making the ballfields better
functioning because the two currently overlap, and better parking. Keyes Park improvements would
include looking at the sliding hill to offer more permanent protection during the winter as multiple times
during the season the snow fence will be removed. Hansen stated that the City does carry extra
insurance for the sliding hill. He stated the Commission could move forward with another master plan
but does not suggest changing the Huset Park Mast Plan because we do not have the ability to finance
improvements. McDonald stated that a lot of time and energy was put into the last master plan for
Huset Park and now it is stalled. Hansen replied that updating the plan would not be expensive but there
still would not be any movement beyond that. Clerkin replied it is not worth doing anything to the plan
until there is funding available. Stroik indicated after 2016 another city election would take place in
2018. Clerkin agreed that is a good target. Evans asked if the Circle Terrace park building will need a
referendum. Hansen replied no, staff and community members are looking into other funding. The
building itself is approximately $250,000. In 2016 the largest part of the parks budget will be to replace
the playground equipment at Circle Terrace. Stroik asked if there is enough funding for improvements at
Keyes Park. Hansen replied yes and the earliest availability to fund improvements would be in 2017 or
2018, or if movement is made towards a referendum Keyes Park could be included in that and the
master park plan would already be complete.
Hansen reported there are other items at Keyes Park that need improvements. The storm water
retention pond does not work properly. Clerkin asked about the hockey rink problems. Hansen replied
the area has settled and has an elevation difference from one side to the other of about fifteen inches. It
takes about sixteen inches of water to get even ice. The boards need replacement as well. Clerkin asked
what the most important item in need of replacement is at Keyes Park. Hansen replied the playground
equipment. He would like to see the best fit for a playground spatially within the whole park and what
the area is being programmed for. Clerkin asked if a playground can be installed without having a master
plan. Hansen replied it would be best to have the Master Plan to work from so park elements can be
placed in the most appropriate area in the park. The process has always been making a master plan, and
then if there isn't full funding portions are done as funding becomes available. Stroik asked how long
27
City of Columbia Heights October 28, 2015
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 3
until funding from the new development becomes available in the park dedication fund. Hansen replied
soon, within 3 -6 months or so. Stroik asked if the money has to be used immediately. Hansen replied no.
State law indicates that those funds are dedicated for park related uses. They cannot go into recreation
operation and have to have some sort of nexus with recreational benefit such as fields or playgrounds.
All capital expenditures come through the Park and Recreation Commission. Stroik stated that a master
plan for Keyes Park makes sense.
Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Evans, to create a Master Plan for Keyes Park. Upon vote: All ayes.
Motion Carried.
Windschitl indicated the need for two ballfields at Keyes Park. Both fields were used for t -ball and
baseball this year. The soccer field, which is located in the outfield area, receives a lot of use between
both fields as well.
New Business
A. Rental rates for John P. Murzyn Hall in 2017.
Windschitl informed the Commission that staff has recommended keeping the John P. Murzyn Hall
rental rates at the same prices from 2016 to 2017. The last time rates were increased was from 2010 to
2011 forjust Saturday rental fees, and also for 2015 to 2016 there was an increase on Saturdays. The
only other increase for 2017 is a slight increase on linen napkin rental fees. Staff recommends keeping
the current rates for 2016 the same in 2017. Windschitl reminded the commission that residents of
Columbia Heights still receive a 25% discount off of the rental fee of the facility. McDonald asked if the
hall makes any revenue. Windschitl replied that the rentals bring in a fair amount of revenue but that
sets off the fees associated with running the building for programs, utilities, the recreation office,
upgrades or up keep to existing items within the building, and the purchasing of needed equipment.
Generally the Murzyn Hall revenue pays for the use of the hall. Evans indicated that the building is used
as a community service space too.
Clerkin indicated he is not opposed to raising rental rates. Payne asked if a lot more residents rented the
facility than nonresidents. Windschitl replied about half of the rentals are from residents. He indicated
the Saturdays from the end of April through September are booked for 2016. Stroik replied that
wedding venues are very expensive and it is the food minimum requirements that make it so expensive.
She would not be opposed to raising the rental rate. Windschitl stated that having an open food option
makes Murzyn Hall very unique. He also pointed out that this hall does accommodate a larger number of
guests unlike many other venues. Windschitl agreed that the Saturday rental rate could be increased by
5% if the Commission wanted. Stroik would like to see the Saturday rate closer to $1500. Greenhalgh
suggested an increase of 10 %. Windschitl replied to increase the rental fee to be closer to $1500 is
around a 6% increase. Stroik replied that this venue is a bargain even with an increase. Clerkin would like
to see a larger increase.
Motion by Stroik, second by McDonald, to increase the John P. Murzyn Hall rental rate for a Saturday by
6% for the Hall, Kitchen, and LaBelle Lounge. Upon vote: 5 ayes, 1 nay. Ayes: Evans, Greenhalgh,
McDonald, Payne, Stroik. Nay: Clerkin. Motion Carried.
Payne asked if there are any complications with the 1:00 a.m. closing time of the building. Windschitl
replied that people do ask to stay longer but we do not give them that option. There is also a late fee of
$80 every 30 minutes after 1:00 a.m. Clerkin asked if the fee needs to be increased. Windschitl replied
no because the goal is still to keep the fee at an amount that will still be used and not priced too high.

Reports
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl reported that volunteer coaches are needed for youth basketball and wrestling. The previous
wrestling coaches have been hired by the Columbia Heights school district. He asked for the members to
spread the word if they know of any volunteers.
At the most recent city council meeting it was approved to increase the Hylander Center facility
supervisor rate from $9.00 per hour to $12.41 per hour starting. The goal is to have two people working
those shifts as many drop -in participants try to skip out on paying the $1 drop -in fee. Currently the
weekend open gym time is not being offered due to lack of staff available to work. Youth basketball will
be starting soon and that will eliminate the open gym times except for the use of the fitness room and
the Wednesday night open gym.
Windschitl indicated the regular meeting dates for November and December fall during the holiday
weeks. He suggested moving the possible meeting dates to the 3 d week of each month.
Motion by Clerkin, second by Stroik, to move the regular Park and Recreation Commission meeting
dates for November and December to the 3rd Wednesday if a meeting is needed. Upon vote: All ayes.
Motion Carried.
B. Public Works Director /City Engineer
Hansen reported the Dominium development project is moving forward. The calculation is for around
$200,000 for park dedication to the Park Development Fund. The library is continuing to make progress.
The foundations are done, the underground piping is being installed, and after Christmas work will begin
on the steel structure. The police department staff is looking into funding for the multipurpose building
at Circle Terrace Park. Greenhalgh asked what is happening to the building on 40th and Central Avenue
where the bank is located. Hansen replied the building has a new owner with a good reputation. Before
they move forward with work on the building he is trying to secure tenants and then he has committed
to making the required corrections on the building.
McDonald asked if the splash pad water flow was tested. Hansen replied yes, several times. Staff needs
to learn how to run the program. Stroik stated that the whole area looks very nice.
C. Commission Members
Clerking indicated seeing splash pads that hold water to reuse it through the system and is wondering
the costs for that type of system. Hansen replied that type of system was looked at for Huset West and
it would have almost doubled the cost.
Payne adjourned the meeting at 6:30 p.m.

City Attorney Jim Hoeft explained that the Charter Commission is interested in updating the
chapter to reflect state statutes and rules. Mr. Hoeft noted the commission is interested in
clarifying the validity of the sections, or if they have been circumvented by state and federal
regulations.
Mike Bradley, the City's Cable Attorney made the following recommendations:
Commissioner Jeff Diehm asked if other cities address franchises in their Charters. Mr. Bradley
stated they do, although most are not as lengthy. City Attorney Jim Hoeft explained some of the
issues are superseded by Federal and State laws.

BUSINESS ITEM
Single family Home Lot Sales Program — Amendment- Resolution 2016 -02
The EDA attorney reviewed the Single Family Home Lot Sales Program, and has made
some minor suggested changes. The changes reflect protecting the EDA from incurring
any buyer- associated sale costs, as well as establishing a minimum lot price for each lot
in the program. An underlined /over - scored copy of the Program guidelines was included
in the agenda packets. Hogeboom reviewed the changes with members.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2016 -02, authorizing certain changes to the
Single Family Home Lot Sales Program.
Questions from members:
Herringer questioned an item in the guidelines that stated a builder could not hold more
than 25% of the lots available on option. Hogeboom told members this clause was added
more for the future if additional lots become available. He went on to explain that this
builder is purchasing the lots outright, and is not proposing to tie them up by "buying on
option ".
Schmitt pointed out that information on frequently asked questions and the actual
guidelines don't match up regarding the number of trees required. Members had
previously decided to reduce the number of trees to one. Hogeboom stated he would
make the change so the documents are accurate and match.
Motion by Szurek, seconded by Williams, to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -02,
there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTIONPASSED.
Motion by Szurek, seconded by Herringer, to adopt Resolution 2016 -02, Resolution

PUBLIC HEARING:
Purchase and Redevelopment Agreements with Tollberg Homes LLC — Resolution 2016 -03
Hogeboom explained that on December 7, 2015, the EDA called a public hearing to approve a
Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement with Tollberg Homes for the purchase and acquisition
of six EDA -owned residential properties. Tollberg Homes proposes to construct six single family
homes on the properties, which would meet the EDA's minimum construction standards. Under
this agreement, the properties will be sold to Tollberg Homes for $22,500 per lot. Approval of
Resolution 2016 -03 will cover all six individual purchase agreements.
In December, the EDA requested information pertaining to acquisition costs associated with
these properties by the EDA. The total acquisition cost for the six properties in question was
$946,400, which was expended via unobligated K -Mart Tax Increment Financing funds. As part
of the "Sheffield Neighborhood Action Plan ", an additional $170,000 was granted to the City
through the Community Development Block Grant program in 2010. Of that allotment,
$168,442.50 was ultimately used to fund demolition costs, environmental and site remediation,
and sewer and water disconnects.

OTHER BUSINESS:
A. January Goalsettin2-
Enclosed in the agenda packets was a copy of the "Columbia Heights 2014/2015 Strategic Planning
Guide" that was adopted on April 7, 2014. The goals and objectives contained in the Guide were the
result of a brainstorming workshop that was held by the EDA earlier in 2014.
Hogeboom told members that staff is currently in the selection process of hiring a new liaison to the
EDA who will take the place of the former Assistant Community Development Director. This person
is expected to begin employment later in January. Once this person is on board, he /she will lead a
workshop with the EDA at which we will go over each goal in detail and discuss how it is being
achieved, as well as develop further action steps. He suggested scheduling a separate meeting for this
in February as he expects it to take approximately 2 hours to have a discussion to cover future
development projects, TIF funding, and re- establish goals for the City. Hogeboom asked that
members review the documents provided in the agenda packet in preparation for that upcoming
discussion. The commission members agreed this would be a good idea.

Nawrocki asked Hogeboom how he expects to cover expenses of additional personnel in the department
when they lost the administration revenue from overseeing Parkview Villa. Hogeboom said he
re- structured the positions in the office within the same budget parameters so that staff can focus
on development projects (i.e. the Rainbow Site, and the 47th and Central site), obtaining funding
for the clean -up and development of the Root property and to continue purchasing properties for
the scattered site program. He said the department is also taking over more of the
communications oversight in regards to the website, newsletter, and social media.
It was noted that the next regular meeting will be Monday, February 1 st at 6:30 in Conference Room 1.
Hogeboom will also notify members of the special goal setting meeting that will be held.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:58 pm.

ITEM:
2016 AGREEMENT FOR RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING PROGRAM WITH ANOKA COUNTY (ANNUAL SCORE
GRANT)
1
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: �.
BY /DATE: KEVIN HANSEN / MARCH 7, 2016
BY /DATE:
BACKGROUND:
MN State SCORE (Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment) continues to provide grants for
recycling programs funneled through the counties. The City received the full amount of the $93,385 request
per the 2015 agreement, plus an additional $3,132 of remaining year -end funds distributed by Anoka County.
The 2015 SCORE tonnage report from the County (Attachment B) showed the City achieved 100% of the
recycling goal. The SCORE goal for 2016 is 1,894 tons which is a 3.7% increase from 2015.
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS:
Attached is the 2016 agreement for the Residential Recycling Program (Attachment A), or "SCORE Grant ". The
SCORE agreement with Anoka County authorizes the City to apply for a base recycling reimbursement of
$50,295 for eligible expenses. Again this year, the SCORE agreement has enhancement funds available for
recycling programs such as drop -off center, parks and community events, multi -unit outreach, special
curbside, and organics, providing an additional $40,118 in reimbursement funds. In addition, the County may
reimburse up to 10% more if funds are available at year end. Public Works proposes the following additional
activities, beyond the base agreement:
1. The City of Columbia Heights plans to mail an additional citywide recycling promotion this year for a total
of two, and will have a recycling article in each City newsletter. Recycling promotions will also be
conducted on cable channel, website, Facebook, at the City public picnic, and when requested at other
various local group gatherings.
2. Refuse and recycling information is included in new homeowner packets, plus this year all residential
rental property owners /managers will be mailed a packet as well.
3. The City will continue apartment manager outreach to improve recycling in their buildings.
Owners /managers will receive a direct mailed packet of information concerning the City's full service
refuse program and recycling promotions. Upon request, meet on site with managers and offer a packet
with multi - dwelling checklists, promotion materials in several languages, and apartment recycling baskets.
4. All residential properties and apartment buildings will have single -sort recycling containers. Households
will be offered a 90 gallon recycling cart for the same flat rate as the 60 gallon and apartment buildings can
increase recycling service with no increase in charges to the building.
5. All parks, City Jamboree, and City facilities will have recycling containers and will not be charged for
service.
41
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter
Page 2
6. In an effort to reduce improperly discarded electronics, the City will subsidize curbside electronics
collection. Households will continue to be offered one "free" appliance per year collected at the curb.
7. The City will participate in a multi -city recycling day with Fridley, Spring Lake Park, and Hilltop. The City's
recycling center will continue to be staffed at least once per week and accept items not recycled at the
curb.
8. This year the City is offering organics drop -off at the recycling center and households are provided a free
'starter' kit consisting of a kitchen basket, household pail, and proper bags. The City may conduct a
curbside pilot project depending on available grants and commercial composter options.
9. The City will also explore different curbside bulk (furniture, mattresses, and other household goods)
collection programs and best practices that could work for future implementation of citywide bulk
recycling services.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the annual SCORE
Agreement for Residential Recycling Program with Anoka County to provide cooperation between the City and
the County in the implementation of the Residential Recycling Program with $90,413 in funding available to
reimburse eligible recycling expenses.

To: Municipal Recycling Coordinators
From: Su enoll, Solid Waste Specialist PUBLIC WORKS
Regarding: Municipal Contracts for 2016, Funding and Goals
The 2016 Residential Recycling Agreements include a fixed base of $10,000 for each municipality and $5.00 per
household. In addition, targeted program funds are available for specific program areas and funds may be used
for problem materials and yard waste /organics. The household count is based on the latest population and
household estimate available from the Metropolitan Council. This funding allocation is not dependent upon the
receipt of the second SCORE allocation. The county will use reserve funds if the second grant payment is not
received in the spring of 2016.
The 2016 funding includes enhancement funds for the following program areas:
Full Service Drop -off Recycling Centers — $30,000
Monthly /Quarterly Drop -off Events — $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the number of households*
Park and Community Event Recycling — 51,000 to $3,000 depending on the number of households **
Curbside and Multi -Unit Recycling — $2,000 to $6,000 depending on the number of households * **
General Enhancement Grant $1/Household
Organics Collection $1/Household
*Up to 4,999 HH — $10,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $15,000
* *Up to 2,000 HH — $1,000; 2001— 4,999 HH — $2,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $3,000
* * *Up to 2,000 HH — $2,000; 2001— 4,999 HH — $4,000 and 5,000 HH and up — $6,000
The contract again includes a change order of up to 10% of your total allocation.
The 2016 municipal recycling goal is 195 pounds per person for single family households (up to 4 units) and
170 pounds per person for multi -unit households (5 units or more). This goal reflects the estimated tonnage
needed to assist the county in achieving its recycling goal as established by the State of Minnesota. The goals

copy of the bidding documents. Five bids were received and publicly read aloud at the January 27, 2016 bid
opening held by St. Anthony. A copy of the bid opening minutes is attached.
The low bid was submitted by RL Larson Excavating in the amount of $2,059,296.95. RL Larson's bid was 5.6%
under the Engineer's Estimate of $2,200,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Public Works staff concurs with St. Anthony's recommendation for a contract
award in the amount of $2,060,276.95* to RL Larson Excavating, Inc. of St. Cloud, MN.
* Corrected by St. Anthony during bid tabulation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -26, there being ample copies

RESOLUTION 2016 -27 DECLARING THE INTENT TO BOND FOR THE STREET REHABILITATION
PROGRAM, PROJECTS 1602 AND 1607, AND FOR STATE AID STREET REHABILITATION PROGRAM,
PROJECTS 1508 AND 1605
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
X//� /_/'/m�
BY /DATE: KEVIN HANSEN / MARCH 7, 2016
BY /DATE: 3�1 lit
BACKGROUND: At the improvement hearings on February 1, 2016 and March 7, 2016, the City Council
ordered the following improvements:
Zone 2: 41St Avenue from Reservoir Boulevard to Stinson Boulevard, 43rd Avenue from Reservoir
Boulevard to Arthur Street, and 45th Avenue from Main Street to dead end at University Avenue.
State Aid: Stinson Boulevard from 37th Avenue to Silver Lane (St. Anthony) and Jefferson Street from
40th Avenue to 44th Avenue.
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS: Currently cash available from city inter -fund loans to fund the construction is
limited. For this reason, there is a potential for bonding for the 2016 Zone 2 Street Rehabilitation and 2016
State Aid Street Rehabilitation Improvement Programs. The fact that bonding rates are at their lowest point in
years makes bonding a very viable financing option.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To keep the potential bonding alternative open, a resolution declaring the intent
to bond should be approved by the Council. This has been done for the Zone Street Rehabilitation
construction projects since 1998. It should be noted that the resolution does not commit the City to bonding
or the dollar amount stated, but keeps the option for bonding open in the future, up to the dollar amount
specified.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2016 -27, there being ample copies
available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 2016 -27, being a resolution approving the declaration for the official intent of the
City of Columbia Heights to bond for the 2016 Street Rehabilitation Program, Projects 1602 and 1607, and for
the 2016 State Aid Street Rehabilitation Program, Projects 1508 and 1605.
ATTACHMENT(S): Resolution 2016 -27

RESOLUTION NO. 2016 -27
A resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota,
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Tres. Reg. 1.140 -2 providing that proceeds of tax exempt
bond used to reimburse prior expenditures will be not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met;
and,
WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights (the "City ") expects to incur certain expenditures which may be
financed temporarily from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a bond;
Now, therefore, in accordance with the foregoing, and all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia
Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The City reasonably intends to make expenditures for Project Nos. 1508 and 1605 consisting of State Aid
Street Rehabilitation and reasonably intends to reimburse itself for such expenditures from the proceeds
of debt to be issued by the City in one or more series in the maximum principal amount of $325,000.
The City reasonably intends to make expenditures for Project Nos. 1602 and 1607 consisting of Zone 2
Street Rehabilitation, including 45th Avenue from Main Street to dead end at University Avenue and
reasonably intends to reimburse itself for such expenditures from the proceeds of debt to be issued by the
City in one or more series in the maximum principal amount of $217,000.
3. This resolution is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for purposes of Tres. Reg. 1.150 -2
and any successor law, regulating or ruling.

ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR LIBRARY FF &E — FURNITURE
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
CITY MANAGER'S PPROVAL: t
BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / March 7, 2016
BY /DATE: '
BACKGROUND:
As construction is progressing on the library building, other components of the new Library also need to be
initiated and ordered to be ready for the opening in June of 2016. The contract with HGA included design and
project administration for FF &E — furniture, fixtures and equipment. As furniture can have a lead time of 8 -12
weeks, procurement needs to occur now to allow for an end of May 2016 installation.
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS:
The City Council previously accepted bids for the library shelving under FF &E Bid Package 1. Bid Package 2
includes all of the furniture and equipment for both the public and staff spaces. Bids were obtained by a
combination of Contract Purchasing (where the specified furniture was available) or by competitive bids.
Signage was specified and while a bid was not received, staff did obtain quotes for this part of the work
directly from the manufacturer.
Plans and specifications were prepared by HGA and advertised on the City website, QuestCDN and the local
newspaper. Five bids were received on February 24th for the manufacture, delivery, storage, and installation of
furniture, fixtures and equipment for both public and staff spaces. The bids ranged from a low of $166,518 to
a high of 187,249 — indicating a very competitive bidding market. It should be noted that the bid amount from
iSpace was corrected by staff from the bid opening number of $160,813 to $166,518 following the bid
tabulation evaluation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the bids received, HGA Architects and Public Works staff recommend
award of contracts to the vendors (multiple) and amounts detailed on the attached summary sheet. The
contracts provide for delivery and installation the last week of May through June 3rd
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to accept bids and award a contract for FF &E Bid Package 2 — Furniture,
Fixtures and Equipment for the new City Library, City Project No. 1410, to the vendors as listed on the
attached summary listing (multiple vendors) based on either contract pricing or based upon their low,
qualified, responsible bid, in the total amount of $354,552.37 with funding from Funds 450 - 51410 -2010 and
450 - 51410 -5180; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into contracts for the
same.

FF &E Bid Package 2
HGA Commission Number 3624 - 001 -00
Dear Kevin:
WRiI'1 R'S DIRECT DIAL, 414 - 278 -3423
We have reviewed and clarified the bid information submitted for consideration for the FF &E Bid Package
2. This consisted of a review of quantities, any deviations from the bid documents, and the confirmation of
unit and extended costs. Based on this review, we are prepared to make recommendation for the award of
these contracts.
The original apparent low bid from iSpace did not include the cost of attic stock fabrics. Upon request and
inclusion of this information, their bid remains lowest for Library Furnishings. The Bid Form Summary
showing the actual bid results and the revised bid form received from iSpace has been attached for your
reference.
At this time, we are recommending the acceptance of the Base Bids as shown below. Future additional
items may be added by Change Order.
Recommendations for the award of the Contracts and the associated dollar amounts are as follows:
Contract 1 Interior Signage No bid
Contract 2 Library Furnishings Awarded to iSpace in the amount of $166,518.65
Contract 3 Custom Library Casegoods Awarded to Nigon Woodwork in the amount of $75,650
Since no bid was received for the Signage, HGA recommends the City of Columbia Heights purchase
signage items directly from APCO Signs and solicit quotes from APCO, iSpace and Embury Limited
(shelving vendor) to install the signage.
Please review these recommendations and contact me if you would like any additional information.
Sincerely,

ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR LIBRARY TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / March 7, 2016
BY /DATE:
BACKGROUND:
As construction is progressing on the library building, other components of the new Library also need to be
initiated and ordered to be ready for the opening in June of 2016. The City's IS staff has prepared a detailed
listing of Technology items to be installed in the new library. As large orders of computer related equipment
can have a lead time of 4 -6 weeks, procurement needs to occur now to allow for a mid -May 2016 delivery and
installation, and to allow enough time for testing and training.
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS:
Part of the overall project budget for the library included "Technology." This description includes both public
and staff computers and monitors, servers, public and staff printers, VOIP telephones, software and Smart
Bins. Pricing was obtained through a combination of Contract Purchasing (where the specified equipment was
available) or by competitive quotes. The Smart Bins were bid by the Anoka County Library system — we are
purchasing the same brand and model in order to continue to partner with ACL to provide library services to
the community (as previously noted in the February 8th council report by the Library Director for RFID).
The total bid is $147,898 which is consistent with the budgeted amount of $150,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the bids received, IS and Public Works staff recommend award of
contracts to the vendors (multiple) and amounts detailed on the attached summary sheet. The contracts
provide for delivery to the City beginning mid -May.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to accept bids and award a contract for Library Technology Equipment
for the new City Library, City Project No. 1410, to the vendors as listed on the attached summary listing
(multiple vendors) based on either contract pricing or based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid, in the
total amount of $147,898 with funding from Funds 450 - 51410 -2011 and 450 - 51410 -5180; and, furthermore,
to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into contracts for the same.

ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR REHAB OF WATER TOWER, PROJECT 1507
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
CITY MANAGER'S A PROVAL: l
BY /DATE: Kevin Hansen / March 7, 2016
G
BY /DATE:
Background:
Plans and specifications were prepared and advertised for bids in the Sun Focus on February 19, 2016 and in
Finance and Commerce (trade journal) on February 26, 2016. The project was also advertised electronically
through Quest Construction Data Network and the Builders Exchange. Nine contractors requested a copy of
the bidding documents. Six bids were received and publicly read aloud at the March 9, 2016 bid opening. A
copy of the bid opening minutes is attached.
Issues:
The work will involve structural and corrosion repairs to the tower, removing the interior and exterior paints
and applying new coating systems to both the interior and exterior metal. A new city logo and city name will
be applied to the tank. During removal and painting, the water tower will be 'draped' to contain any waste
products or overspray during the work. The contract calls for work to be completed in 10 weeks, but to obtain
the best bids possible we allowed flexibility during the season for when the work may begin. The schedule will
be determined after contract award.
Separately, staff is working with the communications carriers on the tower to coordinate removal of their
equipment, establish temporary facilities, and reinstall the antennas when the tower recoating is nearing
completion.
The apparent low bid was submitted by Odland Protective Coatings of Rockford MN, in the amount of
$361,600. As The bidding documents included a $15,000 allowance for the access and security control of the
tower and pump station 3. The responsive base bid was 19.2% under the Engineer's Estimate of $450,000.
Add Alternate bids were included to provide: 1) complete (in lieu of spot) sandblasting of the interior tank
(wet), and 2) replace a landing on the interior of the tank. Add Alternate 1 replaces line item 8 in the base bid
— so the actual cost is the difference between the two. Based on the bids received, staff recommends
acceptance of Add Alternates 1 only. The project had an original estimate of $550,000 when bonded in 2013.

Bid Evaluation

Dear Kevin:
NCB
Bids were received at Columbia Heights Municipal Service Center at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday March 9,
2016 and are summarized below:
* * - Alt -1 if selected would be performed in lieu of Bid Item No. 8. So cost increase would be Alt -1 —Bid Item No. 8.
The specifications and bid documents did not contain any wording or ambiguities so as to force the
Contractor to build in additional contingencies. We feel that the bids received were competitive and
responsive and rebidding of the project would not provide any cost savings.
Odland Protective Coatings is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
A Bid Bond for 5 %/ of the bid was included with their bid. There was no addendum issued for the project.

• Alt_1 ($45,000), if selected, would be performed in lieu of Bid Item No. 8 ($15,000).
• The net increase associated with approving Alt-1 would be $30,000 ($45,000 - $15,000 = $30,000).
• Awarding Alt-1 provides the City an essentially new tower for a very good overall price.

ITEM:
Consideration of Resolution adopting the State of Minnesota General Records Retention Schedule
DEPARTMENT: Administration
CITY MANAGER'S Af PROVAL:
BY /DATE: Katie Bruno
BY /DATE:
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of a records retention schedule is to provide a plan for managing government records by
giving continuing authority to dispose of records under Minnesota Statutes section 138.17.
The State has provided a City General Records Retention Schedule which establishes minimum retention
periods for city records based on their administrative, fiscal, legal and historical value. It lists records
series common to cities and identifies how long to retain them. A revised schedule was updated by city
clerks and officials representing the Minnesota Clerks and Finance Officers Association (MCFOA) in July,
2013, and can be viewed at:
www.mcfoa.org/vertical/sites/%7BO67FFB58-E3CD-42BA-9FB1-
11EFC7933168%7D/uploads/General Records Retention Schedule for MN Cities - July 2013.pdf
The City Council adopted the current Columbia Heights Records Retention Schedule on November 22,
1999. It appears the current schedule is modeled after the State's City General Record's Records
Retention Schedule with some modifications throughout, examples of which are attached.
Staff is proposing the City update our current Records Retention Schedule to mirror the State's model
Schedule, minus the Police section as they use Anoka County's retention schedule due to their
software and data sharing, for consistency and defensibility purposes. This item was presented to
the Council at the January 25, 2016 Council meeting, at that time the item was tabled. Division
Heads were asked to review the State's Retention Policy. Finance Director Joe Kloiber and
Community Development Director Joe Hogeboom provided feedback. The council also discussed the
proposed schedule at the March 7th worksession. A comparison chart is attached, showing a small
sampling of records. According to the Minnesota Historical Society, 75% of cities have adopted the
State's schedule.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution Number 2016 -13, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: To adopt Resolution 2016 -13, adopting the General Records Retention Schedule for Minnesota
Cities, and to submit notification to the Minnesota Historical Society.

RESOLUTION 2016 -13
ADOPTING THE "MINNESOTA GENERAL RECORDS
RETENTION SCHEDULE FOR CITIES"
WHEREAS, to comply with the Records Management Statute MS 138.17, it is necessary to adopt a
plan for managing governmental records including the proper retention and disposal of municipal
records; and
WHEREAS, the Records Management Statute MS 138.17 establishes the Records Disposition Panel
and requires all government entities to follow an orderly process in retaining and disposing of
government information; and
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has approved for use by all Minnesota Cities the "Minnesota
General Records Retention Schedule for Cities" which authorizes cities adopting said schedule an
orderly method of disposing of municipal records; and
WHEREAS, the "Minnesota General Records Retention Schedule for Cities" is regularly updated.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota
hereby adopts the Minnesota General Records Retention schedule and directs the City Clerk to
notify the Minnesota Historical Society /State Archives Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that following state approval, City Departments (with the exception of
the Police Department) are directed to provide for retention and destruction of records as set forth
in said schedule and its subsequent revisions.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, this 14th day of March, 2016

Parkview Villa is currently undergoing interior renovations, and we have not been able to confirm if they will
be able to support an election. Parking at the location is very limited, with the majority of the parking lot
spaces reserved for residents. This often requires voters to park on the highly traveled 401h Ave. The City sold
Parkview Villa in 2015, and no longer has the same connections.
With the planned opening of the new library in June, 2016, council is asked to consider changing the polling
location to the new library. The community room would provide ample space for voting, accessibility is
excellent and the parking is ample. The council discussed the proposed location change at a worksession on
March 7, 2016.
If Council should approve the change; Anoka County will send out postcards to all registered voters in
Precinct 3 informing them of the change in polling location. The City will be responsible for cost of postage for
this mailing, which is anticipated to be approximately $450. Funds are available in the election budget, and if
necessary; contingencies.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Motion to designate the New Columbia Heights Library, located at 3939 Central Ave NE as the official election
polling place for Precinct 3 for future City, County, State and Federal Elections.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER
ITEM:
Approve Purchase and Installation of Warning Sirens
DEPARTMENT: Fire
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Gary Gorman
BY /DATE: 3 /1
Background: The City of Columbia Heights currently has four warning sirens. Two of the sirens were
purchased and installed in 1995. The other two sirens were purchased and installed in 1973. These two older
sirens are 43 years old and have maintenance problems that have brought them to the end of their useful life.
In 2015 the Fire Department had mapping done using technology that included topography. The mapping
showed that the current locations of the sirens did not adequately cover the entire City, especially the
southeast quadrant. Using this mapping technology we looked for the best locations for four sirens to give
complete coverage to the City. To achieve this goal the 1995 rotating siren at Ramsdell Park will remain as is.
The 1973 siren at 49th Ave and Washington St. will be changed to a new rotating siren. The 1995 siren at 41s'
and Van Buren will be moved to 41St Ave between Washington St. and 7th St. The 1973 siren at 40th and
University will be removed. A new rotating siren will be installed at Ostrander Park along 40th Ave.
Staff has received quotes from three companies for two new Federal 2001 -130 rotating sirens and control
boxes. These are the modern version of our 1995 rotating sirens. Staff has also received two quotes for the
installation and moving of the sirens as needed. The total amount is within the approved budget amount of
$46,000. Public Works will perform the ground restoration as needed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase of sirens and equipment from Federal Warning Systems of Rochester, MN per their
qualified quote of $22,470.00 and approve the removal /installation of the siren equipment by Ready Watt
Electric of Nowthen, MN per their qualified quote of $21,768.00.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
Move to approve the purchase of siren equipment from Federal Warning Systems, Inc. in the amount of
$22,470.00 and the removal /installation of the siren equipment by Ready Watt Electric in the amount of
$21,768.00.

disallow all auto uses in the Central Business Zoning District and require that any new auto related
development be located on a lot with a minimum size of one acre. The proposed Ordinance requires two
public hearing readings to be held on March 14th, 2016 and March 28th, 2016.

ITEM:
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA, RESOLUTION 2016 -24 AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE, SALE,
AND DELIVERY OF ITS MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THE LILY GABLES
PROJECT; ADOPTING A HOUSING PROGRAM PURSUANT TO MINNESOTA STATUTES, CHAPTER 462C;
APPROVING THE FORM OF AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE MULTIFAMILY
HOUSING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS; PROVIDING FOR THE SECURITY,
RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE OBLIGATIONS; AND
GRANTING APPROVAL FOR CERTAIN OTHER ACTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO.
DEPARTMENT: Finance
CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Joseph Kloiber / March 9, 2016
BY /DATE:
BACKGROUND: At a public hearing last October, the City Council adopted resolution 2015 -86 as the first step
in a two -part process to issue conduit financing on behalf of the developer, Dominium, for construction of 191
units of senior housing within the Huset Park redevelopment area. That initial council action allowed the
developer to proceed with various preliminary preparations for the project.
The attached resolution 2016 -24 is the second step in this two -part process. Financing of this type requires
both City and State approval. Under state law, the developer must use the financing in the same calendar
year that they receive final approval from the City; otherwise the developer would forfeit a significant state
application deposit. Therefore, this second step of the City process was deferred to 2016. In addition, this
final resolution increases the amount of financing to $35 million from the initial estimate of $32 million, based
on the developer's current projections.
Notes and bonds of this type are not an obligation of the City or its taxpayers. Only project revenues (rental
income) and other resources of the developer are pledged for repayment.
As previously noted, this agreement requires the developer to pay the issuance costs of the bonds, plus an
administrative fee to the City of 1% of the value of the bonds at issuance. This fee of up to $350,000 was
negotiated based on the estimated rate available to the developer through Anoka County, and in light of the
various other developer requirements negotiated on behalf of the City for all other aspects of this project.
Attached for your reference is memo prepared by the City's bond counsel Kennedy and Graven. This memo
provides a technical summary of this conduit financing transaction and the documents associated with it.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the following motions.

Re: Columbia Heights Leased Housing Associates I, LLLP — Resolution Authorizing Issuance of
Revenue Obligations of the City to Finance a Multifamily Senior Housing Facility to be Known
as Lily Gables
Columbia Heights Leased Housing Associates I, LLLP, a Minnesota limited liability limited
partnership (the "Borrower ") has requested that the City of Columbia Heights (the "City ") issue its
Multifamily Housing Revenue Note (Lily Gables Project), Series 2016A (the "Senior Note ") and
Subordinate Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (Lily Gables Project), Series 2016B (the "Subordinate
Bonds" and collectively with the Senior Note, the "Series 2016 Obligations ") to finance the construction
and equipping of a multifamily senior housing facility comprised of 191 affordable independent- living rental
apartments to be located in a four -story building, together with related common amenity spaces over one
floor of underground parking, including a party room, theatre, fitness center, cards /crafts room, salon, library
and a landscaped patio, to be located at 3700 5t' Street NE in the City to be known as Lily Gables (the
"Project "). The Borrower proposes to apply the proceeds derived from such loans (individually, the "Senior
Loan" and the "Subordinate Loan ") to the financing of the Project and to the payment of a portion of the
costs of issuing the Series 2016 Obligations by the City.
On October 26, 2015, the City Council (the "City Council") of the City held a public hearing, duly
noticed, in connection with a housing program for a multifamily housing development (the "Housing
Program ") and the proposed issuance of the Series 2016 Obligations in an original aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $32,000,000 under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Housing
Act ") to finance a loan to the Borrower for the Project. Following the public hearing on October 26, the City
Council adopted Resolution 2015 -86 (the "Preliminary Resolution "), under the terms of which the City:
(i) granted preliminary approval to the issuance of multifamily housing revenue obligations in the
approximate principal amount of $32,000,000 to finance the Project; (ii) authorized the submission of an
application to the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget ( "MMB ") for an allocation of bonding
authority under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474A (the "Allocation Act "); and (iii) acknowledged the
preparation of the Housing Program and the submission of the Housing Program to the Metropolitan Council
for its review and comment.
Since adoption of the Preliminary Resolution, the projected costs of the Project have increased, and
the Borrower has requested a corresponding increase in the amount of Series 2016 Obligations authorized to
be issued by the City, from $32,000,000 (as preliminarily authorized under the Preliminary Resolution) to
$35,000,000. This proposed increase in the amount of Series 2016 Obligations does not constitute an
"insubstantial deviation" under Section 5f.103 -2 of the proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under
Section 147 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and therefore a new public approval process
is required.
