Public Works Director Kevin Hansen explained we have received funding for the Central Avenue Safety
Improvements from 47th to 51st Avenues totaling $930,000 through federal funds (90 %) and local State Aid
funds (10 %). The source of the funds is MnDOT's Highway Safety Improvement Program or HSIP. The
proposed improvements will include pedestrian and vehicle lighting, new sidewalks, and signage focusing on
pedestrian safety in the corridor. The City of Columbia Heights sent out Requests for Proposals requesting
professional engineering services to five (5) firms to provide engineering design and construction
administration for Central Avenue safety improvements. Three proposals were received. The proposals
were reviewed by staff (City Manager, Director of Public Works, Police Chief, Community Development
Director, Economic Development Manager, and the Assistant City Engineer)
While Bolton & Menk had the lowest cost, SEH provided the best overall response for this project. Within
the fees, it should be noted, that SEH had 568 more hours programmed into their work program than Bolton
& Menk.

B. Establishment of the Central Valu Center TIF District
Keith Dahl, Economic Development Manager, introduced this item. Dahl stated that Hy -Vee, Inc. has an option
agreement to purchase the property at 4300 Central Avenue NE, known as the Central Valu Center. Dahl
explained that the retail building on the property was constructed in the 1960's, and that environmental issues
have been uncovered. Dahl noted that, due to the existence of current tenants and their leases on the
property, Hy -Vee is unable to construct a new building on the site, so it will be renovating the former Rainbow
Foods space and the former Slumberland Clearance Center space.
Dahl explained that the environmental investigation identified asbestos, lead, petroleum, diesel range organics
(DRO), tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOC) within the proposed
redevelopment portion of the building. The estimated cost for abatement and contamination clean -up of the
pollutants on the Subject Property is $1.98 million. Hy -Vee has stated that this impacts its ability to develop this
site without any public financial assistance. Therefore, Dahl explained that Hy -Vee has requested Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) assistance from the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (EDA) to offset a
portion of the unexpected costs associated with the renovations of the Subject Property.
Dahl introduced Jason Arsvold, the City's financial advisor from Ehlers, who explained that a Tax Increment
Financing Plan was generated and that a Contract for Private Redevelopment was approved by the City's
Economic Development Authority (EDA), authorizing up to $1,100,000 in TIF assistance for Hy -Vee. Arsvold
noted that the Contract authorizes repayment over a ten year period.
Keith Dahl stated that in September, the City's Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved the Site
Plan for Hy -Vee, and that authorization to modify the Redevelopment Plan for the Downtown Central Business
Redevelopment Area, the establishment of the Central Valu Center TIF District and the authorization of an
internal loan to fund public redevelopment costs would be final step in the approval for this project.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired about total development costs for this project. Phil Hoey, Director of Real
Estate for Hy -Vee, stated that total project costs are unknown, but that they will exceed $9 million. Hoey stated
that environmental remediation costs are estimated to cost around $2 million, and that the City has requested
a grant from the Metropolitan Council to help offset those additional costs beyond the TIF assistance.
Councilmember Schmitt inquired about the number of jobs that will be created as a part of this project. Hoey
stated that between 300 and 400 jobs will be created and estimated that 40% of those jobs will be full -time.
Councilmember Williams inquired about the cause of the pollution on site. Dahl stated that asbestos and lead -
based paint are common pollutants in a building this age, and that there was likely a dry - cleaning
establishment in the building at some point in time, which resulted in the additional pollutants.
Mayor Peterson opened the public hearing. Kathy Ahlers, 4010 Hayes St. NE, asked if this project could wait to
be completed until after the 2018 Comprehensive Plan process, at which time the City could create a master
plan for the property and bring the building closer to Central Avenue. Community Development Director Joe
Hogeboom stated that due to the existence of current tenants, the building cannot be relocated and that the
project must proceed as planned.
Duane Morell -4212 Reservoir Blvd, stated that he felt that Hy -Vee should not receive any public assistance for
this project. (NAME) stated that he would like to have seen Aldi relocate to this site, as he believes Aldi should
be expanded. Mr. Morell also wanted to clarify the difference between "remodel" and "redevelopment ".
Hogeboom stated that this project is considered a redevelopment project by definition, but that the current
building will remain in place.
Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Nawrocki to waive the reading of Resolution
2016 -97, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
Motion by Councilmember Williams, seconded by Councilmember Nawrocki to adopt Resolution 2016 -97, a

Page 7 of 16
31, 2016.
Hogeboom stated that, in 2018, the contract for professional services related to the update of the
Comprehensive Plan was approved at $50,000. Hogeboom requests that the Council now authorize the
appropriation of $100,000 from the Special Projects Fund 226 to be used for the production of the Plan.
Hogeboom explained that funds would be used to cover the cost of professional services, primarily in the
areas of transportation planning, parks planning and water resources plan, as well as the physical
production of the Plan. Hogeboom further explained that, in discussing comprehensive plan update costs
with other communities, $100,000 seems to be on par with average cost estimates for this update period.
Hogeboom explained that the City will issue a Request for Services for the production of the
Comprehensive Plan this fall, and bring a recommended contract before the Council for consideration in
either December, 2016 or January, 2017. The City Council would then decide the specific costs associated
with the Contract.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired about whether or not any services related to the Comprehensive Plan
update would be performed in- house. Hogeboom stated that much of the Land Use and Housing material
would be produced in- house. In addition, City Planner Elizabeth Holmbeck will serve as Project Manager,
and will guide and direct all professional services related to the Comprehensive Plan update.
Mayor Peterson inquired about stakeholder input processes. Hogeboom explained that he anticipates a
Steering Committee that will be formed, which will include members of the City Council, as well as
members of the City's various boards and commissions. Hogeboom also anticipates resident participation
on the Committee, as well as participation from the local business community.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A MODIFICATION TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE DOWNTOWN
CENTRAL BUSINESS REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT; AND ESTABLISHING THE CENTRAL VALU CENTER TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT THEREIN AND ADOPTING A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN
THEREFOR.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council ") of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the "City "), as
follows:
Section 1. Recitals
1.01. The Board of Commissioners of the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the "EDA ") has
heretofore established the Downtown Central Business Redevelopment Project (the "Project ") and adopted the
Redevelopment Plan therefor. It has been proposed by the EDA and the City that the City adopt a Modification to the
13
City Council Minutes
October 24, 2016
Page 11 of 16
Redevelopment Plan for the Project (the "Redevelopment Plan Modification ") and establish the Central Valu Center Tax
Increment Financing District (the "District ") therein and adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan ") therefor
(the Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the "Plans "); all pursuant to
and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174
to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended, (the "Act ") all as reflected in the Plans, and presented for the Council's
consideration.
1.02. The EDA and City have investigated the facts relating to the Plans and have caused the Plans to be
prepared.
1.03. The EDA and City have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the establishment
of the District and the adoption and approval of the proposed Plans, including, but not limited to, notification of Anoka
County and Independent School District No. 13 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the District,
a review of and written comment on the Plans by the City Planning Commission, approval of the Plans by the EDA on
October 24, 2017, and the holding of a public hearing upon published notice as required by law.
1.04. Certain written reports (the "Reports ") relating to the Plans and to the activities contemplated therein
have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the Council and /or made a part of the City
files and proceedings on the Plans. The Reports, including the redevelopment qualifications reports and planning
documents, include data, information and /or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings
and determinations made in this resolution. The Council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the Reports, which are
hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein.
1.05 The City is not modifying the boundaries of the Project, but is however, modifying the Redevelopment
Plan therefor.
Section 2. Findings for the Adoption and Approval of the Redevelopment Plan Modification.
2.01. The Council approves the Redevelopment Plan Modification, and specifically finds that: (a) the land
within the Project area would not be available for redevelopment without the financial aid to be sought under this
Redevelopment Plan; (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the
needs of the City as a whole, for the development of the Project by private enterprise; and (c) that the Redevelopment
Plan, as modified, conforms to the general plan for the development of the City as a whole.
Section 3. Findings for the Establishment of the Central Valu Center Tax Increment Financing District
3.01. The Council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a "redevelopment district" under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subd. 10 of the Act.
3.02. The Council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could
reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the
market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected
tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the Tax Increment Financing Plan, that the Plans
conform to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the City as a whole; and that the Plans will afford
maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of
the District by private enterprise.

3.03. The Council further finds, declares and determines that the City made the above findings stated in this
Section and has set forth the reasons and supporting facts for each determination in writing, attached hereto as Exhibit
A.
3.04. The City elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, which means the fiscal disparities contribution would be taken from inside the
District.
Section 4. Public Purpose
4.01. The adoption of the Plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a
need to develop an area of the City which is already built up, to provide employment opportunities, to improve the tax
base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. For the reasons described
in Exhibit A, the City believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF
Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this development financially feasible. As such,
any private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do not outweigh the primary public benefits.
Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans
5.01. The Plans, as presented to the Council on this date, including without limitation the findings and
statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed
on file in the office of the Columbia Heights Community Development Director.
5.02. The staff of the City, the City's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with
the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Council for its consideration all
further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose.
5.03 The Auditor of Anoka County is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the District, as
described in the Plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has
increased or decreased; and the EDA is authorized and directed to forthwith transmit this request to the County Auditor
in such form and content as the Auditor may specify, together with a list of all properties within the District, for which
building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution.
5.04. The EDA is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the Plans with the Commissioner of the
Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.175, Subd.
4a.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPROVAL OF A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL LIVABLE
COMMUNITIES TAX BASE REVITILIZATION ACCOUNT.

WHEREAS that the City is a participant in the Livable Communities Act's Local Housing Incentives Account Program for
2016 as determined by the Metropolitan Council, and is therefore eligible to make an application to apply for funds

Livable Communities Act and the policies of the Metropolitan Council's adopted metropolitan development guide; and
WHEREAS that the City has the institutional, managerial and financial capability to ensure adequate project and grant
administration; and
WHEREAS that the City certifies that it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations as stated in the contract grant
agreement; and
WHEREAS that the City finds that the required contamination cleanup will not occur through private or other public
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future without Tax Base Revitalization Account grant funding; and
WHEREAS that the City represents that it has undertaken reasonable and good faith efforts to procure funding for the
activities for which Livable Communities Act Tax Base Revitalization Account funding is sought but was not able to find
or secure from other sources funding that is necessary for cleanup completion and states that this representation is
based on the following reasons and supporting facts:
Due to the extent of asbestos, lead, petroleum, diesel range organics (DRO), tetrachloroethane,
t rich loroethylene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOC) of the contamination cleanup project,
redevelopment of the property is highly unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future without financial assistance;
and
• The asbestos abatement of the contamination cleanup project does not qualify for Contamination Cleanup
Grant Programs through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Council authorizes the City Manager to submit an application for
Metropolitan Council Tax Base Revitalization Account grant funds and, if the City is awarded a Tax Base Revitalization
Account grant project for this project, the City will be the grantee and agrees to act as legal sponsor to administer and
be responsible for grant funds expended for the project contained in the Tax Base Revitalization grant application
submitted on November 1, 2016.

MINUTES OF
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm by Chair Szurek.
Commission Members present- Buesgens, Schill, Hoium, and Szurek
Member Absent: Fiorendino
Also present were Elizabeth Holmbeck (Planner), Keith Dahl (Economic Development Manager), and Shelley
Hanson (Secretary) along with Council Liaison, John Murzyn.
Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Hoium, to approve the minutes from the meeting of Sept 6th, 2016. All ayes.
MOTION PASSED.
CASE NUMBER: 2016 -1001
APPLICANT: Hy -Vee, Inc.
DEVELOPMENT: Central Valu Center
LOCATION: 4300 Central Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421
REQUEST: Approval of the Conformity of the Tax Increment Financing Plan to
the Comprehensive Plan and Adoption of Resolution 2016 -PZ05
Dahl explained to members that Hy -Vee has requested public financial assistance from the Columbia Heights
Economic Development Authority (EDA) for the redevelopment of the property located at 4300 Central Avenue
NE (Subject Property). In Columbia Heights, the EDA is the authority authorized to exercise Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) powers, however the EDA may not exercise any TIF powers without prior approval from the
City Council. The City Council has scheduled a public hearing to approve the modification and establishment of
the proposed TIF district for October 24, 2016 at approximately 7:00 PM.
Before or at the time of approval of a TIF district, the City Council shall make certain findings pursuant to
Minnesota State Statue 469.175. One specific finding that is required before City Council approval is that the
Planning and Zoning Commission review and determine if the TIF plan conforms to the general plan for
development or redevelopment of the City as a whole. Thus, the Planning and Zoning Commission will need to
approve a resolution that ensures the proposed TIF plan conforms to the Comprehensive Plan for the City. Dahl
summarized the Plan with the members.
Dahl explained that originally Hy -Vee wanted to redevelop the entire building but couldn't come to terms with
the existing tenants in the north end of the building, so they had to modify their plan to do a renovation of the
current building which is more expensive. Once they started the renovation process they found contamination
behind the walls and under the floors of the retail space. They must now dig down into the soils under the
building and remove the contamination. This is why they are now asking for financial assistance as this will
increase their cost to redevelop this site. If they could have razed the entire building, they wouldn't have asked
for any financial assistance. Dahl told members that staff is working on grant applications to assist them with
some of the clean -up costs, and Hy -Vee is also applying for additional financial assistance options to help with
the additional costs.

ZONING ORDINANCE
The Subject Property is located in the General Business Commercial Zoning District (GB) along Central
Avenue. The 10.14 Acre site is adjacent, on the north and south side, to Limited Business Zoning Districts
(LB), One and Two - Family Residential Zoning Districts (R -2A), and Built as Duplexes Residential Zoning
Districts (R -213). However, the property to the west is zoned as Public and Open Spaces (PO) and the properties
to the east, across Central Avenue, are designated as GB.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Currently, the existing use along Central Avenue between 43rd and 45th Avenue NE is home to auto - oriented,
big box stores with large front loaded parking lots. Given the frequent transit services along Central Avenue, the
Comprehensive Plan guides the Subject Property for transit - oriented, mixed -use development that
accommodates a front loaded building along Central Avenue with off - street parking located behind. The
development should also provide an enhanced pedestrian environment that incorporates landscaping and facade
features in an effort to increase pedestrian activity. The Comprehensive Plan also discusses the opportunity for
the City to pursue funding for redevelopment, such as grants and evaluation of financial tools, such as Tax
Increment Financing or Tax Abatement to attract redevelopment specific to the desired needs of the community.
The modification and establishment of the proposed TIF plan will result in the renovation of an underutilized
commercial retail center and the attraction of a new grocery store, Hy -Vee. Hy -Vee's Site Plans were
previously approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 6, 2016. The approved Site Plans
propose that development will incorporate vegetation (canopy trees, understory plants, and evergreens)
throughout the property in a concentrated effort to create an aesthetically pleasing environment for pedestrian
activity to increase. The typical distance for a pedestrian to choose to walk rather than.drive is in the range of a
quarter mile. Within the quarter mile radius around the Subject Property, there is approximately 1000 residential
housing units zoned as R -2A and R -213. If you take the average household size in Columbia Heights, which is
roughly 3.15, and multiply it by the number of residential housing units within the quarter mile radius, you find
3,150 residents have the potential to increase the pedestrian activity in the surrounding area.
In conclusion, granted that the approved Site Plans for Hy -Vee are not consistent with the transit- oriented,
mixed -use development the Comprehensive Plan guides for, the proposed TIF plan will generate roughly 450
jobs within the community. That is 77% of the expected jobs Columbia Heights is supposed to accommodate
for between 2000 and 2030. For these reasons and more, the proposed Central Valu Center TIF District is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for Columbia Heights.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The request and approval for the Planning and Zoning Commission to review and determine the proposed TIF
district is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan isn't subject to Design Guidelines.
SITE PLAN
The request and approval for the Planning and Zoning Commission to review and determine the proposed TIF
district is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan isn't subject to a Site Plan.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The request and approval for the Planning and Zoning Commission to review and determine the proposed TIF
district is in compliance with the City's Comprehensive Plan isn't subject to Findings of Fact.

uestions /Comments from members:
Buesgens asked if there was contamination under the parking lot also. Dahl said he is not sure about this, but
wouldn't be surprised . Hy -Vee will take care of the testing necessary to determine this. She then asked about
the asbestos found behind the existing wall coverings. Buesgens wondered if they would have to renovate the
current tenant spaces also. Dahl explained that they are not opening up or exposing any of the asbestos in those
spaces, so no remediation would be needed in those tenant spaces.
Hoium stated that anyone that would develop this property would have to deal with the contamination issues, so
it must be taken care of at some point.
Schill asked who currently owns the building. Holmbeck stated that Brixmoor is still the owner of record but
Hy -Vee is under contract to purchase the property. They are under a time frame to close on the sale and need to
get all the financial details in place in order to close.
Szurek asked what time frames were left on the leases of the current tenants. Dahl said Frattalone's Hardware
is under 10 years, Memeke has approximately 2 years left, and the Dollar Tree has approximately 6 or 7 years
left.
Questions from the Public:
No one had any further questions.

BUSINESS ITEM
1. Establishment of the Central Valu Center TIF District — Resolution 2016 -29,
Resolution 2016 -30, and Resolution 2016 -31.
Dahl explained that Hy -Vee, Inc. (Hy -Vee) has an option agreement with Brixmor to acquire the
Central Valu Center located on a 10.14 acre site at 4300 Central Avenue NE (Subject Property).
Built in 1962; the Central Valu Center is a 140,281 square foot shopping center that is
predominantly vacant. Roughly, less than one third of the shopping center is occupied by tenants,
which include Ace Hardware, Dollar Tree, and Meineke Automotive. Hy -Vee originally desired
to buy -out all the tenants' lease agreements in an effort to acquire the entire property for
redevelopment; however, after unsuccessful negotiations to relocate the tenants, Hy -Vee
determined the only possible development option was to renovate the structurally substandard
building. The proposed renovation approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission (P &Z) on
September 6, 2016 aligns the structure with the same design palette and style ah•eady constructed
at other Hy -Vee grocery stores across the metropolitan region.
In addition to an increased total project cost associated with renovations, Hy -Vee has uncovered
extensive contamination and hazardous materials throughout the interior of the structure and in
the soil underneath the structure on the Subject Property. The purpose of conducting
25
EDA Minutes
Page 3
October 24, 2016
environmental investigations is to meet property demolition guidelines as set forth by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).
Specifically, the environmental investigation identified and quantified hazardous materials,
which require proper removal and abatement prior to any demolition for renovation. The
environmental investigation identified the following contaminants: asbestos, lead, petroleum,
diesel range organics (DRO), tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene, and other volatile organic
compounds (VOC). The estimated cost for abatement and contamination clean -up of the
pollutants on the Subject Property is $1.98 million, which strains the financial feasibility for Hy-
Vee to locate within Columbia Heights without any public financial assistance. Thus, Hy -Vee
has requested Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance from the Columbia Heights Economic
Development Authority (EDA) to offset a portion of the unexpected costs associated with the
renovations of the Subject Property.
TIF is a public financial assistance method used by many cities, which uses a portion of the
future tax revenue from a specific area to promote development through subsidizing qualified
development costs incurred from redevelopment within that specific area. When a TIF district is
created, the current value of all the taxable property within the district is frozen at the current
base value. Over the life span of the TIF district, the County, City and School District collect
taxes from the frozen base value. Meanwhile, the development in the TIF district increases the
value of the property within the district. The tax collected from the increase in property value is
the "tax increment" revenue that reimburses the qualified development costs from
redevelopment.
Upon receiving the request from Hy -Vee for TIF assistance, City Staff and Ehlers, the FDA's
financial consultant, conducted analyses to determine the true extent to which TIF assistance
from the EDA would be necessary to make the project financially feasible. At that time, City
Staff authorized LHB Architects to formally conduct an analysis of the Subject Property to
determine if the Central Valu Center TIF District meets the statutory requirements for a
Redevelopment TIF District. The work conducted by LHB Architects was financed entirely by
Hy -Vee. The fmdings of the report and qualifications were included in the TIF Plan in the
agenda packet.
Originally, Hy -Vee requested TIF assistance in the amount of $1.74 million over the course of a
26 year period. Under the TIF Act, the duration of a Redevelopment TIF District cannot exceed a
total of 26 years of tax increment. Neither City Staff nor Ehlers determined that a 26 year TIF
district period would be necessary for Hy -Vee's project to become financially feasible or in the
best interest of the City. Based on the analyses conducted, City Staff and Ehlers agree that TIF
assistance in the amount of $1,100,000 generated over a 10 year period is substantially sufficient
for Hy -Vee's project. In conjunction with TIF assistance from the EDA, City Staff have also
been working with Hy -Vee on applying for contamination cleanup grants offered through the
Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and the
Metropolitan Council (Met Council).

EDA Minutes

Oct. 24, 2016
DEED and Met Council have various contamination clean -up grants that offer funding for the
redevelopment of polluted and underproductive sites. To be eligible for many of these grants, a
site must reduce the potential threat to the public's health, create employment opportunities, and
increase the tax base of a municipality. The deadline for these grants is November 1, 2016. City
Staff and Hy -Vee will submit grant applications requesting a total amount of $1.98 million for
the abatement and contamination clean -up of the Subject Property. City Staff anticipates funding
from grants will be awarded in January 2017, however it is unknown the actual amount that will
be awarded to the Subject Property or if an award will be given at all. City Staff is confident that
TIF assistance in the amount of $1,100,000 generated over a 10 year period plus the potential
funds from grants will generate the estimated $1.98 million from the costs associated with the
unexpected abatement and contamination cleanup on the Subject Property.
Since the EDA and Council previously established a redevelopment project designated as the
Downtown Central Business District (CBD) revitalization plan, a modification to the Downtown
CBD Revitalization Plan for the CBD Redevelopment Project and establishment of the Central
Valu Center TIF District needs to be approved by the EDA and the Council. The proposed TIF
Plan would provide reimbursement to Hy -Vee in the form of "pay -as- you -go" for a portion of
the project. The term "pay -as- you -go" refers to Hy -Vee paying for the costs of the project up-
front with the promise from the City to reimburse the qualified development costs during the
term of the TIF district.
The EDA is the authority authorized to exercise TIF powers, however the EDA may not exercise
any TIF powers without the prior approval of the City Council (Council). The Council has
scheduled a public hearing to approve the proposed TIF Plan for the modification and
establishment of the proposed TIF district on October 24, 2016 at approximately 7:00 PM. Also,
before or at the time of approval of a TIF district, the Council shall make certain findings
pursuant to Minnesota State Statue 469.175. One specific finding requires that P &Z determines
the proposed TIF District conforms to the general plans for the development and redevelopment
of the City. On October 4, 2016, the P &Z adopted Resolution 2016 -PZ05, a resolution
confirming that the Central Valu Center TIF District conforms to the general plans for the
development and the redevelopment of the City.
For the consideration of the EDA tonight, is the approval of four individual items as follows: the
modification to the Downtown CBD Revitalization Plan for the CBD Redevelopment Project,
the establishment of the Central Valu Center TIF District, the Contract for Private
Redevelopment by and between the EDA and Hy -Vee, and an inter -fund loan for administrative
reimbursement. Dahl told members that these documents were all included in the agenda
packets. There are three separate resolutions for approval subject to Council's approval of the
proposed TIF Plan, Resolution 2016 -29 is a resolution approving the modification to the
Downtown Central Business District Revitalization Plan for the Central Business District
Redevelopment Project and the Establishment of the Hy -Vee Tax Increment Financing District.

Resolution 2016 -30 is a resolution approving the contract by and between Hy -Vee and the EDA.
Resolution 2016 -31 is a resolution for an inter -fund loan for administrative reimbursement.
Staff recommends adopting all resolutions as followed: Resolution 2016 -29, Resolution 2016 -30,
and Resolution 2016 -31.
Ingram and Aarsvold were present to answer questions.
Questions /comments from members:
Nawrocki asked why there is so much concern after all these years. Dahl told him that
requirements regarding contamination and pollution have changed over the years and the concern
is not the parking lot area since they are not removing that, but will instead do an overlay. The
contamination that must be dealt with is under the subfloor of the building itself. The floor has
to be removed along with some of the soils, and then a vapor barrier must be placed down before
a new floor can be poured prior to the other remodeling.
Nawrocki then asked why there is language in the document that says we would be acquiring the
property. Aarsvold stated it is standard language of the general planning document and says
"may be" acquired which allows for flexibility for various situations. It is not the intent of this
agreement to acquire the property. Ingram noted that on page 2 -2 sub section 2 -5 in the last
sentence it states "The EDA does not currently intend to acquire the parcel comprising the
District."
Aarsvold then reviewed the impact on the tax base and how it affects residential and business
properties, as well as the school district. Taxes would continue to be received according to the
current value and base. The increase in taxes realized from the renovation of the property would
be used to re -pay Hy -vee for their initial investment to do the environmental clean -up necessary
to redevelop the site.
Nawrocki asked how much will be paid back to them. Aarsvold told him the documents have
been prepared to maximize the TIF funds at 1.1 million dollars, and using a 2% inflation factor,
it is estimated to have a 10 year payback.
Williams asked why Hy -vee can't negotiate a Lower price with Brixmor to compensate for the
necessary clean -up costs. Phil Hoey, a representative from Hy -vee explained that the valuation
of the property was established using the income basis as a strip mall with tenants generating
rent. If it remained as is, and they continued to rent out space in the mall, remediation would
not be needed. Williams then asked what would happened if the City didn't approve a TIF
District. Hoey said Brixmor would continue to operate with the current tenants and try to sell to
someone else who wouldn't necessarily remodel.

Williams asked how the grants would affect the need for TIF funding. Dahl stated it will take a
combination of TIF funds and grant funds to fully fund the estimated clean -up costs of 1.98
million. Hy -Vee has applied to the Met Council for an asbestos abatement grant in the full
amount, but realize they will probably only get a portion of it. If they don't get enough in grant
funds they will move forward with only the 1.1 million in TIF funds and apply again in mid -May
for additional grant monies.
There was a discussion about 7.5 million in TIF funds that is referenced in the Overview Report
prepared by Ehlers. Dahl explained that figure is part of the planning document and shows a
larger amount if the District was intact for the maximum allowed time of 26 years. Ingram
reviewed the specific terms detailed in the Private Development Contract. On page 7 it states
that the maximum amount they will receive is 1.1 million, not the larger amount and that the
District will be in effect for approximately 10 years. Hy -Vee must prove their expenditures for
clean -up and if less is needed, then the maximum amount they receive will be less also. If less
funding is needed, the District could be de- certified earlier than the 10 year timeframe we have
established.
Peterson asked if the TIF District is approved what the next step is. Ingram stated that the
approval of the attached Resolutions will authorize the City Manager to execute the required
documents. Any updates will be brought to the City Council, but no further formal action would
be needed.
Nawrocki asked again to make sure that no City dollars were going into this project. Ingram told
him no City funds would be used to clean -up the site. Hy -Vee will expend the funds necessary
to do this and then the Tax Increment payments will reimburse them for those expenses after the
fact. Nawrocki asked what would happen if Hy -Vee went out of business or left that site. He
was told the TIF payments would terminate, the District would be de- certified, and the tax
dollars generated would then go to the taxing districts as they normally would.
Hoey told members that Hy -Vee cannot mortgage their properties to obtain financing. They can
borrow money through a business loan, but not a mortgage. He told the commission members
that they have the funds to cover these expenses up front so the clean -up will happen, but setting
up the TIF District will help them recover the additional, unexpected costs associated with
redeveloping this property.
Schmitt questioned the interest rate in the Agreement. Ingram explained the interest and
Administration costs allowed by law. Dahl told members that Hy -Vee has also made a $10,000
payment to the City to cover the fees to set up the TIF District.
Herringer asked when this District would be de- certified. Ingram told him that it will be de-
certified 10 years after the first increment is realized. The contract calls for renovations to be
done by July 2019, so it should be de- certified by 2029 at the latest.

Opened for Public Questions
Carolyn Laine asked where the contamination carne from. She understands that asbestos was
commonly used in building products back in the 1960's when the mall was constructed, but
wondered about the other chemicals. She was told that the chemicals found are typically those
used by a dry cleaning operation and there is reason to believe that one existed as part of
Shopper's City back in the 1960's and 1970's. Plus the original store was destroyed by fire in
1965 which contributed to the chemical residue on the site.
Phil Hoey again explained to members that the whole floor must come out and some soils
removed before a vapor barrier can be placed prior to a new floor being replaced. If the store
were not being remodeled or improved, this would not be necessary. But if not remodeled or
redeveloped then the value would not increase substantially and neither would the tax base for
the site. A resident in attendance said it will have to be dealt with at some point, so it might as
well be now.

Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under the Resolution. This Note and the
interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or
any political subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority. Neither the State
of Minnesota, nor any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or

attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of this Note together with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Authority, duly executed by the Owner. Upon such
transfer or exchange and the payment by the Owner of any tax, fee, or governmental charge
required to be paid by the Authority with respect to such transfer or exchange, there will be
issued in the name of the transferee a new Note of the same aggregate principal amount, bearing
interest at the same rate and maturing on the same dates.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3(d) of the Agreement, this Note shall not be
transferred to any person or entity, unless the Authority has provided written consent to such
transfer.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all acts, conditions, and things
required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen,
and to be performed in order to make this Note a valid and binding limited obligation of the

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board ") of the Columbia Heights
Economic Development Authority (the "Authority "), as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. The Authority has on this date approved the establishment of the Central Valu Center Tax
Increment Financing District (the "TIF District ") within the Downtown Central Business Redevelopment
Project (the "Project ") for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project, subject to
approval of the TIF District and adoption of a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan ") by the City
of Columbia Heights (the "City "), all pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as
amended (the "TIF Act ").
1.02. The Authority has determined that it may be necessary to pay for certain costs identified
in the TIF Plan consisting of land/building acquisition, site improvements /preparation, public utilities,
other qualifying improvements, interest and administrative costs (collectively, the "Qualified Costs "),
which costs may be financed on a temporary basis from City or Authority funds legally available for such
purposes.
1.03. Under Section 469.178, Subd. 7 of the TIF Act, the City is authorized to advance or loan
money from the City's general fund or any other City fund from which such advances may be legally
authorized, and the Authority is authorized to advance or loan money from any fund administered by the
Authority from which such advances may be legally authorized, in order to finance the Qualified Costs.
1.04. The Authority intends to reimburse itself for the Qualified Costs from tax increments
derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terns of this resolution (which terms are referred to
collectively as the "Interfund Loan ").
Section 2. Terms of Interfund Loan.
2.01. The Authority hereby authorizes the advance of up to $25,000, or so much thereof as may
be paid as Qualified Costs, from the City's Redevelopment Fund or any other fund authorized by the City.
The Authority shall reimburse itself for such advances, together with interest at the rate stated below,
from tax increments derived from the TIF District. Interest will accrue on the principal amount from the
date of each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of
the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the loan or
advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest rate will fluctuate as

2.02. Payments of principal and interest ( "Payments ") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid
semi - annually on each August I and February I (each a "Payment Date "), commencing on the first
Payment Date on which the Authority has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on any other dates
determined by the Executive Director, through the date of last receipt of tax increment from the TIF
District.
2.03. Payments on this Interfund Loan will be made solely from the tax increment from the TIF
District received by the Authority from Anoka County in the 6 -month period before any Payment Date,
net of the amount paid under any agreement with a private developer or otherwise pledged to the payment

Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in whole or in
part with Available Tax Increment.
2.04. Outstanding principal and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are pre-

with Section 469.178, Subd. 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available
Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. This Interfund Loan and the interest
hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political
subdivision thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any
political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or
other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor
the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment
of the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. The Authority shall

may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
2.06. The Authority may amend the terms of this Interfund Loan at any time by resolution of
the Board, including a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest to
the extent permissible under law.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon the date of its approval.

NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR NO PARKING
Ms. Julie Johnson, Business Administrator for First Lutheran Church, has requested NO PARKING
signs be installed on the east side of Tyler Street from the parking lot driveway to 70' north of
the driveway, across from the properties of 4044 and 4050 Tyler Street. Because of the school,
parents park along the east side of Tyler Street to pick up their children before and after school
making it difficult for the property owners to back out of their driveways.
Residents and Roger Johnson, First Lutheran Church, 1555 40th Avenue NE
others present: Jane Pemberton, 4050 Tyler Street NE
Howard Wigand, 4044 Tyler Street NE
Julie Johnson, First Lutheran Church, 1555 40th Avenue NE
Carlson stated some of the driveways are quite narrow. Doty and Clerkin can see the issue; the
way cars are parked does make it hard for residents to get in and out of their driveways.
Novitsky stated it looks like there is still ample room to get in and out. Doty asked who cleans
the snow along the curb. Mr. Johnson stated the church does the parking lot and the driveway,
as well as the full width of the sidewalk. The city does the street. He stated that if a car is
parked between the two driveways of 4044 and 4050 Tyler, where there is barely room for a
small car, it makes it even more difficult to get in and out. Mr. Wigard provided pictures from
earlier this year where Ms. Pemberton was having trouble getting out of her driveway and
someone actually parked across the front of his driveway. Stated this occurs on a daily basis.
Traffic Commission Minutes — October 3, 2016
Page 2
Olson inquired if this is a collaborative request from the neighbors and the church. Ms. Johnson
stated the request is actually from the neighbors but the church initiated the request to the city.
She received a phone call from Ms. Pemberton approximately one year ago. At that time Ms.
Johnson spoke to the school and asked them to advise parents not to park there, but that didn't
work out and it was suggested that they put up a cone. The church did not feel this was
sufficient, that a No Parking sign would be best because when cars are parked on both sides of
the street, especially in the winter, there's barely room to get through —its's very tight. Ms.
Pemberton stated there's no way an emergency vehicle can get down the road in the winter
when cars are parked on both sides. She's seen the snow plows having to back up. Young asked
if they are concerned that drivers will just start parking further south. Mr. Johnson stated if they
park further south of the driveway then they may as well park in the parking lot. Olson asked
about parking further north. Ms. Johnson stated the only area they are concerned about is the
grassy area directly across from the driveways. Mr. Johnson feels we could designate No Parking
all the way to 41St Avenue. Carlson advised the whole side of the street is already No Parking on
Sundays and suggested No Parking along the entire block on one side. The church parking lot is
not full; parking on the street is just a convenience because the school door is on 41St and Tyler.
The teachers park in the parking lot but volunteers and parents tend to park closer so they don't
have to walk the kids so far from the parking lot. Some volunteers are there for three hours. On
a normal day there are 4 -5 cars parked on the east side and 6 -7 on the west side. Mr. Wigand
advised that sometimes there will be a car parked in the very small space between both of their
driveways. Novitsky stated he could see a No Parking sign between the driveways more than
the other side of the street. Doty is okay with the No Parking but states it won't eliminate
people parking on the west side of the street by the driveways. That's the only issue he can see.
Clerkin feels people will park wherever no matter what. If they can't park on the east side of the
street then they'll park on the west side and possibly partially block the driveways. If No Parking
is posted on the east side, then at least No Parking during the School Year should be posted on
the other side. Hopefully this will help. But, unless it's enforced, people will park anywhere.
Motion by Olson to call a public hearing at the next Traffic Commission meeting to designate NO
PARKING on the east side of Tyler Street from the First Lutheran Church parking lot driveway to
70' north of the driveway. Seconded by Doty. Motion passed unanimously.
B. REQUEST FOR SAFETY CHANGES ON STINSON BOULEVARD FROM FAIRWAY DRIVE TO
INNSBRUCK PARKWAY
Ms, Marlene Steinke has requested several changes along Stinson Boulevard and 5th Street
where it comes in from New Brighton as well as Fairway Drive to Innsbruck Parkway. The
concern is the speed of traffic and distracted /inconsiderate drivers.
Residents present: Thomas Steinke, 4832 Stinson Boulevard
The visibility is good at all of the intersections discussed in the letter. Traffic stops at all of the
cross - streets with Stinson Boulevard. The average daily traffic (ADT) on Fairway Drive is 2,450.
ADT on Stinson Boulevard between Fairway Drive and 5th Street NW (New Brighton) is 2,000.
44
Traffic Commission Minutes — October 3, 2016
Page 3
ADT on 5th Street NW east of Stinson Boulevard is 3,300. A lot of traffic comes from Argonne
Drive down Stinson Boulevard and then across on 5th Street NW, which is kind of a back way
through the city. Mr. Steinke did bring videos of things he's observed. The accident record at
Stinson Boulevard and 5th Street NW showed no vehicle accidents in the last five years.
A three way stop at Stinson Boulevard and Fairway Drive: Fairway Drive and Stinson Boulevard
south of Fairway Drive are Anoka County roads. The City has no jurisdiction at this intersection.
A three way stop at 5th Street NW and Stinson Boulevard: The accident information does not
meet the guidelines for multi -way stop signs.
Crosswalks at the intersection of 5th Street NW and Stinson Boulevard and Stinson Boulevard
and Fairway Drive: A crosswalk and speed bump at Stinson Boulevard and North Upland Crest
and at Stinson Boulevard and Innsbruck Parkway: Staff does not recommend painted
crosswalks unless there are sidewalks to direct the pedestrians to, otherwise pedestrians are
just being directed to the street in which they're already walking. Speed humps would not be
permitted on Stinson Boulevard because 1) it's a boundary street between Columbia Heights
and New Brighton and 2) it's a collector street, not a local street where speeding is an issue,
and it's meant to carry a lot of traffic.
Narrow medians with wild grasses planted in them would be beautiful, but we are not sure if
the road is wide enough: Staff checked the street widths to see if they could support medians.
Stinson Boulevard between Fairway Drive and 5th Street NW is 44' wide so a median could
potentially be placed there. However, the road narrows to the north, so in lieu of a median
staff would recommend painting the parking lanes. This will make the road look narrower to
the driver and will also give pedestrians a clear indication of where they can walk along the
street. Another item for consideration is bump outs at the intersections. Studies have found
that the only effective technique for reducing speed on city streets is to make the street appear
narrow to the driver's perception. Installation of curb "bump outs" at the intersection would
need to be discussed with our City Council and the City of New Brighton.
Keep the lanes to one lane in each direction, no turn lanes as this encourages drivers to run the
stop signs and not look each way: The only striped turn lane is for eastbound traffic on 5th
Street. It's wide enough for a right turn and a left turn. Staff can suggest this to New Brighton.
However, the reality is that drivers make their own turn lanes if the street is wide enough,
whether they are painted or not.
Adding designated parking spots for the New Brighton Farmers Market /or other events along
Stinson Boulevard: Again, we can put in the parking lane stripes, but any designated parking
spots would need to be on private property. Mr. Steinke stated most of the Farmers Market
vendors park in the seminary parking lot. Another concern of the on street parking is that it
limits the visibility of pedestrians crossing the street if they're not crossing at the corners. If
they're cutting in between cars then drivers aren't as apt to see them.

Traffic Commission Minutes — October 3, 2016

Providing a school bus stopping area or sign with a crosswalk close by: This area is considered a
walking area for both Highland Elementary and the high school. There is only bus pick up for the
middle school. In regard to the other school districts, the bus stop locations often change from
year -to -year based on the number of students in the area. Staff has talked to the bus
transportation people regarding other intersections in the city and their comment has been
that the bus stop locations are not consistently the same every year.
Updating signs to warn drivers of a bus stop ahead, pedestrians, children playing and to slow
down. A sign warning drivers of cars backing out of driveways (if there ends up being a thr
wav stop at Stinson Boulevard and Sth Street NW there are two hnusPS whncP (irivPwavc
back into the intersection): Studies have shown that warning signs are not effective in changing
driver behavior. Good drivers are already driving slowly and paying attention and may see a
warning sign, whereas poor drivers do not look for or always heed warning signs.
Staff is recommending talking to our City Council and the City of New Brighton to construct
"bump outs" at the intersections at 5th Street NW and Stinson Boulevard. We would need to
approach the county if we want to do something similar on Fairway Drive.
Mr. Steinke also provided photos that were distributed at the meeting. Discussion focused on
the parking situation at the Farmers Market and a school bus drop -off. It was determined that
the bus stop drop -off may be a bus company issue, but still remains a tough situation because
of the busy intersection.
Mr. Steinke thanked both police departments, Columbia Heights and New Brighton, for coming
out and increasing their presence. He understands the difficulty because we are dealing with
two cities, two counties, and a main thoroughfare. However the speed on the road and the
traffic patterns make it very unsafe. Cars drive really fast and there are a lot of pedestrians who
use that road for the Farmers Market as well as for biking.
Commissioners agreed that being on the border of two counties makes this a difficult
thoroughfare. They feel the bus company should be consulted and advised on how to handle a
"T" intersection like this because of the hazard, or choose a different stop. Mr. Steinke stated
they have contacted the bus companies about their speed.
Motion by Olson to deny the request for multi -way stop signs at the intersection of Stinson
Boulevard and 51h Street NW. Seconded by Novitsky. Motion passed unanimously.
Motion by Olson to direct staff to discuss parking lane striping on Stinson Boulevard and curb
"bump outs" at the intersection of Stinson Boulevard and 5th Street NW with the City of New
Brighton. Seconded by Clerkin. Motion passed unanimously.
A question was raised about drainage issues with the "bump outs ". This would need to be
looked at and discussed with the City of New Brighton.
Mr. Steinke was advised that he will be contacted when this item is brought back to the Traffic

PUBLIC HEARING TO DESIGNATE "NO PARKING" ON THE EAST SIDE OF TYLER STREET FROM THE
DRIVEWAY TO 70' NORTH
Residents and others present: Julie Johnson, First Lutheran Church
Jane Pemberton, 4050 Tyler Street
Howard Wigand, 4044 Tyler Street
At the October meeting, the Traffic Commission called for a public hearing to designate "No Parking" on
the east side of Tyler Street from the parking lot driveway to 70' north of the driveway. At the October
meeting, representatives of First Lutheran Church and the neighbors across from the proposed "No
Parking" location discussed their concerns with parked cars on Tyler Street making it difficult for adjacent
residents to back out of their driveways.
Ms. Julie Johnson stated two neighbors live directly across from First Lutheran Church on Tyler Street and
they have had difficulty over the last couple of years getting out of their driveways. As the school has
grown, the number of volunteers and teachers has also increased and they are sometimes parking on both
sides of Tyler Street. This makes it tight and tricky for Jane and Howard to get out of their driveways. She
would like no parking designated at the grassy area directly across from their driveways, but feels it would
be beneficial to continue having parking to the north. Olson inquired about the neighbors to the north of
First Lutheran Church. Ms. Johnson informed him that their driveways open onto 41St Avenue. Doty
asked if the grades will be expanded from K -3 to K -8 or K -12. Ms. Johnson stated the school cannot
expand any further at First Lutheran. They may have a split with two campuses or they may be moving
out, but nothing has been determined to date.
Motion by Olson to recommend the City Council designate "No Parking Anytime" on the east side of Tyler
Street from the First Lutheran Church parking lot driveway to 70' north of the driveway. Seconded by
Doty. Motion passed unanimously.

if approved, how long it will be for the signs to be put up. Young stated she will work with the Sign
Department this week. It depends on if the signs are in stock or need to be ordered and on the weather.
The plan is to get them up as soon as possible.

This item came in late but there was enough time to gather the information and put it on the agenda.
A. REQUEST FOR SAFETY CHANGES ON RESERVOIR BOULEVARD FROM 37Th AVENUE TO 40Th AVENUE
Carrie and Joshua Gille have requested several changes along Reservoir Boulevard from 37th Avenue to
40th Avenue and 40th Avenue at Tyler Street. The concern is the speed of traffic and drivers not complying
with posted stop signs.
Each of the suggestions listed in the letter will be addressed below:
- Provide residents with yard signs to be placed on the boulevards in front of their homes.
Public Works will discuss this idea with the Police and Community Development departments.
-Put up additional speed limit signs along Reservoir Boulevard.
-Put up "SLOW" traffic signs along Reservoir Boulevard.
Studies have shown that these types of street signs are not effective in changing driver behavior.
-Paint reflective pedestrian crosswalks at the intersections of Reservoir Boulevard and its side streets.
The intersection at 39th Avenue is offset on each side of Reservoir Boulevard. The intersections at Peters
Place and Gould Avenue are "T" intersections. Pedestrian crossings at these locations would be similar to
"midblock" crossings which are unsafe.
-Put up "Pedestrian Crossing" signs at the busiest intersections along Reservoir, particularly at 40th Avenue
NE and Reservoir Boulevard.

Traffic Commission Minutes — November 7, 2016
Page 3
The intersection at 40th Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard is Anoka County State Aid Highway 2. To date,
Anoka County does not install flashing stop signs. A question was raised whether this is also a Minneapolis
street. Minneapolis owns the right -of -way but traffic control is managed by either Anoka County or
Columbia Heights. Minneapolis is only concerned about their water mains.
Captain Austin provided accident information but was unable to locate any recent speed data for that
section. Stated most of the speed complaints are between 44th and 41St Avenues. He currently has the
speed trailer out to gather data for the next meeting. There is a lot of traffic on the road in the mornings.
Motion by Olson to direct staff to request the addition of crosswalk markings and signage at Reservoir
Boulevard and 40th Avenue. Seconded by Clerkin. Motion passed unanimously.
REPORTS
A. CITY ENGINEER
None
B. POLICE
Captain Austin presented the speed data for Stinson Boulevard between 45th Avenue and Fairway
Drive. The average speed was 30.86 mph. He also contacted the City of New Brighton for accident
data at 5th Street and Stinson Boulevard. There have been five accidents in the last five years. The
bus company has not gotten back to him to date. However, they were going to contact their safety
person to possibly move the bus stop to actually pull out onto Stinson Boulevard rather than stopping
on 5th Street. Captain Austin will follow up.
C. COMMISSIONERS
Olson questioned putting a crosswalk marking on Mill Street to the main entrance of City Hall like the
one by Medtronic. Young stated a pedestrian study was done several years ago for Mill Street and
showed that people cross everywhere.
Carlson asked if any changes have been made to the handicap parking spots at Murzyn Hall. Young
stated they added one additional spot near the east door and two more in the parking lot. One was
not added to the west door because it's not considered a handicap accessible entrance due to the
steps.
Doty stated he will email Kathy a picture of the seasonal duck crossing sign in St. Anthony.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Olson, seconded by Doty, to adjourn the meeting at 5:53 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,

11/2/2016 Approve
The meeting was called to order by Chair Patricia Sowada at 6:30 p.m. Members present were: Patricia Sowada, Nancy
Hoium, and Catherine Vesley. Also present was Library Director Renee Dougherty and Recording Secretary Nick
Olberding.
® The Minutes of the September 7th, 2016 Board Meeting were approved.
• The Bill List dated September 7, 2016 was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the bills be paid.
• The Bill List dated September 14, 2016 was reviewed. It was moved, seconded, and passed that the bills be paid.
® The Accounting Sheet as of September 2016 was reviewed, and approved.
• Discussion on what kind of resolution there was with the abnormally high electricity costs for the first few
months the library was opened. As far as those first bills, there is no news on what Steve Smith /Gary
Peterson (not present at meeting) may have found out. As of the last accounting sheet we had used 79%
of the electric budget; if we go over in that budget category (3810), we will be able to move funds over
from another line in the 3000 range. Eric (CH Public Works) now has been trained -in on the operation of
all the environmental control systems, so we can now make adjustments more quickly, and avoid waste
in the future.
• E -Books are over - budget, but it is not a concern. We still have enough money left in the books budget to
cover the overage.
Old Business:
Construction Update
• Dry -erase boards installed in the meeting rooms.
• Bulletin board installed in the print area.
• Glass panel partitions installed on the "Ask Me" desks.
• Donor wall installation started ... may need some structural reinforcement.
Some worries about the possibility of it being de- faced.
New Business:
..•. . .: t :, , . .
o No changes from previous years, nearly identical to Anoka County Library's schedule.
Staffing Update
• We are down to 5 part -time Pages now, and our Aide's last day was today.
• HR is doing market analysis to find the appropriate pay, and will need to figure out a balance of pay vs.
headcount in order to stay under the upcoming budget and provide ample capacity.
The findings of this analysis are not yet known. Renee has a meeting with Kelli Bourgeois
tomorrow.
• Job posting for page positions has not yet been released.
• We are currently open to adult volunteers to help out during our reduced headcount. Nancy Hoium
51
expressed interest in volunteering some time.
Items from the Floor:
® AMH
• The Automated Materials is working very well, and very nice to have.
• Makes discharging and delivery less time consuming, freeing up staff to focus on other tasks.
• Vandals put wood chips from the landscaping through it the night of Monday, October 3`d. Did not
damage anything, but it made a mess. With winter approaching, we fear ice or snow may find its way into
it at some point.
• The surveillance cameras are not up and running yet, but when they are, we need to rotate the
one on the back of the building to cover the back door and the book drop.
• Need to post a sign on the book drop that states that it is under video surveillance to help deter
any would -be shenanigans.
® American Flag for the Community Room.
o The flag has now been brought over from the old library.
Old Library
• Offer was made on the 820 40th Avenue NE building, but the City Council rejected the offer because they
asked for a warranty deed on the building (regarding moisture /water issues in the basement). The
building is up for sale "as -is ".
• There is a senior care group also looking into making an offer.
• Currently we still have some things left at the old building; some artwork and historical Columbia Heights
Jamboree material. Currently in the board room of the building.
® The new library has been submitted to the committee for the American Institute of Architects Award.
The 2017 Proposed Detail Budget for the Library was distributed. The City Council work session to discuss the
library budget will be November 7th. We will confirm by the next Library Board meeting; in case members want to
attend and show their support.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:55p.m. by Patricia Sowada, and seconded.
Respectfully submitted,

IITEM. ITO M THE FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH PARKING ODRIV WAY TO 0' NORTH THE DRIVEWAY
I DEPARTMENT: Public Works AM=
I BY /DATE: Kathy Young / November 8, 2016 ( BY /DATE: J/ f /,f�, `
BACKGROUND:
At the October meeting the Traffic Commission called for a public hearing to consider designating "No Parking
Anytime" on the east side of Tyler Street from the First Lutheran Church parking lot driveway to 70 feet north
of the driveway.
Ms. Julie Johnson, Business Administrator for First Lutheran Church, requested the "No Parking" signs on
behalf of the property owners of 4044 and 4050 Tyler Street. Because of the school, volunteers and parents
park along the east side of Tyler Street making it very difficult for the property owners to back out of their
driveways.
ANALYSIS /CONCLUSIONS:
The Traffic Commission held a public hearing on November 7, 2016 to consider designating "No Parking
Anytime" on the east side of Tyler Street from the church parking lot driveway to 70 feet north of the
driveway. The Public Hearing notice was published in the Sun Focus. Property owners within 300' of the
proposed no parking designation were notified of the hearing by mail. No one spoke in opposition of the "No
Parking" designation.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to designate "No Parking Anytime" on the east side of Tyler Street from
the First Lutheran Church parking lot driveway to 70' north of the driveway.

ITEM: I A Minor Subdivision for the property located at 1016 44th Avenue NE.
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: November 9, 2016 BY /DATE: ////,) //,
Brian Beaufeaux on behalf of IAE Leasing, LLC has requested a Minor Subdivision per City Code Section 9.104
(k), for the property located at 1016 44th Avenue NE. The applicant wishes to split the existing residential lot
into two residential lots. Currently, there is a single family home on the northern portion of the existing lot,
and a detached garage on the southern end of the existing lot. The proposed subdivision would allow for
future residential development to occur on the newly created lot.
The current lot is 19,600 sq. ft. (70' X 280'). The proposal is to subdivide the lot into two lots resulting in
"Parcel A" containing an area of 12,040 Sq. Ft. and "Parcel B" containing an area of 7,560 Sq. Ft. The required
lot area for parcels in this zoning classification is 6,500 Sq. Ft. for a single family dwelling, and 12,000 Sq. Ft. for
a two - family /twin home dwelling. The minimum lot width requirement for this zoning classification is 60 feet.
Both the exiting lot and newly created lot would meet this requirement with a width of 70 feet.
Staff is recommending that the newly created southern lot (Parcel A), be given the address 110143' /z
Avenue NE., Columbia Heights MN, 55421, in addition to the subdivision request, the applicant is also
requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a two - family dwelling to be located on the southern lot. If the
Conditional Use Permit is approved and a two - family dwelling is built upon the lot, the new assigned address
will be 1101 -1103 43rd l Avenue NE., Columbia Heights, MN 55421.
The subject property is located in the R -2A, One and Two Family Residential District. The properties to the
north, south, east, and west are located in the R -2A One and Two Family District, the R -213, Built as Duplexes
District, and the R -3, Multiple Family District. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low density
residential development. Subdividing the lot to allow for future residential development is consistent with the
goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan,

ITEM: A Conditional Use Permit for the property located at 1016 44th Avenue NE. to be subdivided: 1101
/43'°BAvenueNE.
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY/DATE: Elizabeth Holmbeck, November 9, 2016 BY/DATE:
Brian Beaufeaux on behalf of IAE Leasing, LLC has requested a Conditional Use Permit per Code Section 9.1O9
/Fl/3\to allow a two-family dwelling tobe built on the property located at101644th Avenue NE. tobe
subdivided as: 11Q143 rd Y2 Avenue NE and 1O1644 m Avenue NE. The applicant has applied for aMinor
Subdivision to create two lots (Parcel A and Parcel B). In addition, the applicant is requesting to obtain a
Conditional Use Permit for a two-family dwelling to be built on the newly created southern lot (Parcel A)
The proposed Conditional Use Permit meets the guidelines in the Zoning Code for a two-family dwelling, The
lot iS required tmbe a minimum of 6,500 square feet with a minimum lot width of 60 feet, The Zoning
Ordinance outlines specific setback, height, and building coverage requirements which are reviewed
administratively when a building permit is submitted. The applicant will be required to meet the requirements
in order to construct a building on the site.
The Zoning Ordinance does not require site plan approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission for one
and two family residential construction. These uses are defined as low-density residential in the City
Comprehensive Plan and this is reflected in the City's Zoning requirements. |f the Conditional Use Permit is
approved and a two-family dwelling |s built upon the lot, the new assigned addnessvviU6e11D1-11O343mB
Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, K4N554J1.
The subject property is located in the R-2A. One and Two Family Residential District. The properties to the
north, south, east, and west are located in the R-2A One and Two Family District, the R-213, Built as Duplexes
District, and the R-3, Multiple Family District. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for low density
residential development. Subdividing the lot to allow for future low density residential development is
consistent with the goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.

Council Letter
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter
Page 2
Staff review found that the application for a Conditional Use Permit meets the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Staff reviewed the Findings of Fact that are required in order for the City Council to approve a
Conditional Use Permit, and believes the applicant meets the conditions as they are outlined. Being that the
property is zoned to allow one and two - family residential uses, and that the property is entirely surrounded by
other property which is zoned for one and two family residential and multiple family residential, staff had
recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision for the property at the November 15`, 2016 Planning and
Zoning Commission meeting.
At the meeting, three neighboring property owners expressed concern regarding the application (See meeting
minutes). Additionally, i received one e -mail from a property owner expressing concerns over the application
after the meeting (See attached copy of e- mail). The residents' concerns were about the addition of a two -
family dwelling to the neighborhood and specifically, the addition of more renters in the neighborhood. In
general, they felt that the existing property owners do not take care of the rental properties that are currently
in the neighborhood. Due to this fact, they believe the proposed two - family dwelling will have the same
problems. They also expressed a desire for the developer to build a single family home on the lot rather than a
two - family dwelling.
After listening to the residents' concerns, the Planning and Zoning Commission made the recommendation
that the City Council deny the Conditional Use Permit based on the fact that "C" and "D" of the Findings of
Fact are not met. The Findings of Fact are listed below for your reference:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is
a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity.
(e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner that is compatible with
the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public facilities
and services.
(g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and
to provide for appropriate on -site circulation of traffic.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction with the
cumulative effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the districts in which it is located.

Two-Family dwellings are specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the R-2A, One and Two-
Family Residential Zoning District.

intended character of the surrounding area. Additionally, the applicant will have to abide by
specific development standards, construction and engineering standards as they relate to any
future development on the lot. These standards will help ensure compatibility with the
appearance of the existing surrounding area.

Buesgens disagreed with him and thought a single family home would sell and explained why mixing some
additional single family homes into a neighborhood such as this would help make for a better neighborhood all
around.
Schill asked if he decided to build a!single family home if he would leave the lot size the same as this proposal.
Beaufeaux stated it would remain the same. He said the low area across the middle in the easement area is
unusable anyways so it wouldn't matter which lot it is a part of.
Paul Craven from 1042 43 % Avenue lives to the east of the vacant piece. He acknowledged that it is noisy due
to a concentration of rental properties and that kids often times play in the streets. He said a double bungalow
wouldn't be out of place, but 'a single family home certainly would be preferred. He thinks parking will be an
additional' problem.
Hoium asked what the conditional use is that will be considered. Holmbeck said this request is for the
subdivision of the lot only and if it meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The second item that will
be considered is the Conditional Use that is required before the use can operate. If he was proposing a single
family home, he wouldn't need a CUP, but because he is considering the construction of a double bungalow, a
CUP is necessary.
Paul Ramacher wants the Planning & Zoning Commission to deny his request.
Mike Guzik asked if the lot split is approved, how many of the members really believed he would ever consider
building a single family home. He believes money will drive him to build another double bungalow, which the
neighborhood does not need.
Buesgens said it is the job of the Commission to enforce the Zoning' Ordinance. She said the owner has the
right to make the request. The Code allows for this. If we vote against what is allowed by Code, it opens the
door for Iegal action unless a reasonable reason is found that determines' the request to be detrimental or
harmful:
Schill agreed that if it meets requirements, they need to approve it legally.
Szurek encouraged residents to attend the City Council meeting on November 10' as they will make the final'
decision on this. The Planning & Zoning Commission is an advisory board only. She also said that the City
Attorney can answer any of the legal questions they have as he will be present at that meeting,
Even though it was the consensus of the Board that they don't want it developed with additional rental units in
this neighborhood either, they must make their recommendation' based on whether it meets the requirements of
the code. Since this meets both the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, they cannot deny the
request. Buesgens stated we need to make changes to the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan in order
to prevent this in the future if the City would like more control over the type of construction that is proposed.
Public Hearing Closed.

Planning and Zoning Commission. At the nneetinglhe Manning arid Zoning Commission heard from three residents who
had concerns about the arnmumtofrental property in the neighborhood, Based on the neighbors' concerns over the
concentration of rental properties in the area, they recornmended that the City Council deny the application.
Specifically, they made the recornmencliatic)n to deny based on the reasoninp that the application did not meet (r) and
(d) of the Findings ofFac� The Findings of Pact are required findings that the City Council must make in order to approve
an appkation, For a Conditional Use Perrnit the FindirTs off Fact are as foliows:
(a) The use is one of the Conditional uses |�sted for the district inwhich the property (s located, orisa
subs|aotia|l-�/ similar use asdetenninadby the ZuningAdminbtrato/
(b) The use is In hatmony with the general purpose and intent of the Cornprehensive Plan,
119
(c), The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences or neighboring properties,
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity.
(e) Th* use vviU be designed, nonstruc1ed, operated end maintained in a manner that ;s compa ibhe with the
appearance of the existing o' intended chamcierof the surrounding area
(D The use and property upon which Vic use is}n/sted are adequately served byesseotia! public t*ci|iloesand
services.
(g) Adequate rneasures have been or will be taken to niinimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to
provide for appropriate on-she dnculation of traffic.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in, conjunction vviith the cumnula-live effect
Of Other uses in the immediate vicinity,
(i) f lie use compiles with all othe� applicable regulations for the districts in which it is iocated,
Ultimately, the Planning and Zoning Commission's role is to make recornmenciat ions to the City Council and, to ensure
that the application mee1s the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan, The City [oum6|w8Q
make the final determination on the application at the NovennberI4m City Council meeting. The concerns that were
brought upat the meeting regarding rental properties, while there are valid concerns, have nothin'l; to. do with the
application for a Minor Subdivision. The concerns over granting the Conditional Use Permit to, a7bwx for a1wwm-±anmQy
dwelling, are based off of surrounding rental property concerns, and that the subject property because it would bea
two-famUydwe8ing, vvom!d have the same probiems.
While <believe it is important t o bring may have about the swrmommdi-rig remta}
properties, the decision tu grant the Conditional Use Pemmitshouldn't be made based nn other property owners bad
behavior, /nmy interpretation, the applicant has submitted en application which meets the mequ�remmemtsuf the Zoning
Ordinance, if neighbors and residents have concerns over where two-family dwellings are currenfly permitted, the best
route to take is to request that the City Council change the City's Code as it relates to zmm}wg for two-family dwellings,
The City Council has the authority to change the Zoning Code which currently allows twofamjIy dwe5ingsmmthis
property, more specifically inthe R-2A Reskjemtiay Zoning District,
I think bis also important to note that the code allows for twxo-farniiy dwellings (duplex ur1winbmme}um the lot, and
that often times these properties are owner occupied, Of course as a City, we think this is great! it provides abavger
sense of ownership and responsibility on the part of the property owner.
Since you are the owner ofatwm-1ami|y dwelling in the neighborhood, Cm sure you understand that just because the
property is a two-family dwelling, it does not mean that the property is guaranteed to increase pwb{ems fur the
neighborhood. Ultimately, it is the property owner/landlord that is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of their
property, and in turn it is the City's responsibility to ensure that property owners are keeping their properties in good
The Fire Department is in charge of rental licensing. if there are coucernsover current /e/la| properties or property
maintenance, please contact the, Fire DepartMent at (763) 706-8153. Again, 1 will ensure that the,. City Coundi receive

Hello- I was planning on attending the meeting regarding this, but a

what we would have said regarding this issue. We are opposed to the
subdivision being used for a multi family housing addition. We feel that
the city has too much rental property as it is, and to add more would not
be wise.

Dear Ms. Holmbeck
IAE Leasing is submitting an application to split the lot located at 1016 441h Ave NE per the attached survey
dated 9/8/16. IAE Leasing is currently upgrading the house located on "Parcel A" and plans on selling it this
fall. If the lot split is approved, we plan on building a two family home on "Parcel B" or selling "Parcel B" for
development by others.
IAE Leasing submits the following findings:
a) The proposed subdivision of land will result in two lots.
b) The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements.
c) Both lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements
established for the zoning district in which the property is located.
d) The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights -of -way for the purpose of
gaining access to the property. Parcel A has access to 441" Ave NE and Parcel B has access to 43 % Ave
NE.
e) The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of article 1:
Zoning and Land Development.
f) The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land.
g) The proposed subdivision does not hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records
related to assessments.
h) The proposed subdivision meets all of the design standards specified in 9.109 Residential Districts.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information to start the
review process.

• This property as well as neighboring properties isina low spot, os determined from contour

flood elevation to prevent future flooding of the new structure.
• Staff recommends removal of the existing garage asitisjn the area that experiences flooding.
• No additional fill may be brought on to the property —the area that floods should be left as
low, or lower than the area as the surrounding properties. Any excess fill developed from the
construction ofa home shall be removed from the property.

ITEM: Request Approval of Ordinance No. 1636 /Establishing Regulations For the Residency Location Of
Predatory Offenders Within the City.
DEPARTMENT: Police KjQVAJVJy1j0rATCJj1 Alaa
BY /DATE: Scott Nadeau /November 9, 2016 ( BY /DATE:
Those offenders who are given a "Level 3" status are those deemed most likely to reoffend. To be assigned a level,
an offender must be released from a prison. Offenses such as Criminal Sexual Conduct, False Imprisonment,
Soliciting a Minor to Engage in Prostitution, and 1St Degree Murder are some examples of offenses that qualify as
predatory offenses.
Currently there are four Level 3 offenders living in Columbia Heights and Hilltop, giving our communities one of
highest densities of sex offenders in the State of Minnesota. The temporary moratorium that was passed in the
last year has helped to limit the number of Level 3 offenders in our city and ensure a more equitable distribution to
other communities. Additionally a number of Hennepin County communities now have restricted placement of
Level 3 offenders and there are also now seven communities in Anoka County (according to Anoka County
Community Corrections) that have restrictions on Level 3 offenders, which necessitates our need of an ordinance.
The City of Hilltop has also adopted an ordinance establishing a moratorium on Level 3 offenders locating within
their city.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The Police Department recommends approval of this permanent ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1636, establishing regulations for the residency location of
predatory offenders within the city, there being ample copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to schedule the second reading of Ordinance No.1636, being an ordinance regulating the
residency location of predatory offenders within the city for November 28, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City
Hall Council Chambers.
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance 1636

ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING REGULATUONS FOR THE RESIDENCY LOCATION OF
PREDATORY OFFENDERS WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, predatory offenders present a significant threat to the public safety of the
community as a whole, especially children, females, and vulnerable populations. Predatory
offenders are likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses. The cost of predatory
offender victimization to society at large, while not precisely calculable, is significant; and
WHEREAS, the City Council fmds that a disproportionately high number of predatory offenders
are being placed in the City and it is in the best interest of the public to study and consider
options for addressing and minimizing the public safety impacts of such placements; and
WHEREAS, the City may amend and enact ordinances and regulations under its police powers
as it sees fit, including through the adoption of moratoria and temporary regulations enacted to
allow the City sufficient time to prepare and adopt permanent regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Council has previously enacted a temporary ordinance limiting the residency
location of predatory offenders in order to study and consider a permanent ordinance limiting the
residency location of predatory offenders within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has evaluated the need to limit /prohibit certain predatory offenders from
establishing temporary or permanent residence in certain locations where children are known to
regularly congregate in a concentrated number; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in promoting, protecting and improving health,
safety and general welfare of the City's citizens.

C. The residence is also, as of the effective date of this ordinance, the primary residence of
the person's parents, grandparents, siblings, or spouse; or
D. The residence is a property purchased, leased, or contracted with and licensed by the
Minnesota Department of Corrections prior to the effective date of this ordinance.
Section 3. Enforcement
130
3.01 A violation of this Ordinance shall be a misdemeanor. In addition, the City may enforce this
Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent
jurisdiction, or through any administrative penalties program of the City Code.
Section 4. Effective Date

ITEM: I Proposed Ordinance Regarding Proposed Massage Licensing Changes — First Consideration
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CITY MANAGERS APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Joe Hogeboom/ 10 -27 -16 BY /DATE:
The City of Columbia Heights currently regulates the operation of massage businesses, as well as the operation
of individual massage therapists, through City Code, Section 5.609. Because massage therapy licensing is done
on a city - level, and not regulated through counties or through the state, each city has different requirements
and price structures. Columbia Heights' fee structure is as follows:
Establishment Annual Fee
$500
Therapist Annual Fee
$100
Establishment One Time Background
Investigation Fee
$250
Therapist One Time Background Investigation Fee
$250
City Code currently does not distinguish between commercial establishments, such as spas, chiropractic
clinics, retail businesses, etc., and in -home businesses. There are several massage therapists in Columbia
Heights who operate out of their own homes, or who visit clients in the client's homes.
The proposed ordinance provides a distinction between in -home therapy businesses and businesses that
operate out of a commercial establishment. The proposed ordinance would eliminate the requirement for in-
home operators to obtain a Massage Establishment License. Under this proposal, all therapists would still
need to obtain annual Massage Therapist Licenses. Additionally, new therapists and new commercial
establishments would still be subject to a one -time background investigation fee.
Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1635, amending Section 5.609 of City Code to provide a
distinction between commercial massage business operations and non - commercial massage businesses.
• • •
Motion: Waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1635, there being ample copies available to the public.
Motion: To schedule the second reading of Ordinance No. 1635, amending Section 5.609 of City Code to
provide a distinction between commercial massage business operations and non - commercial massage
businesses for November 28, 2016 at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers.

ITEM: I Official City Logos, Style Guide and Brand Amendment
DEPARTMENT: Community Development I CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL:
BY /DATE: Joe Hogeboom/ November 8, 2016 I BY /DATE:
In April, 2015, the City Council adopted revised official logos, an official style guide and an official "brand" for
the City of Columbia Heights. Since that time, Columbia Heights has incorporated the new City logo into
infrastructure signage, vehicle signage, official documents, and other promotional devices. At the time of
initial brand adoption, the City adopted the official tagline, "Rediscover the Heights ".
On August 22, 2016, the City Council amended the City's Official City Logos, Style Guide and Brand to include
the additional tagline, "Columbia Heights: All- America City". At a recent City Council Work Session meeting,
the City Council also discussed the possibility of adopting the tagline, "Columbia Heights: City of Peace ", to
reflect the City of Peace initiative that has been ongoing for the past decade.
While the consensus of the City Council was to bring the matter forward to an official City Council meeting for
a vote, there was concern raised over the fact that the "City of Peace" tagline is associated with the Mayor's
Activity Fund, which is a non- profit account established to help sponsor community events and other local
non - profit initiatives. The concern centered on the fact that the City is prohibited from fundraising and other
activities performed under the umbrella of the Mayor's Activity Fund, and comingling taglines for the City and
the Mayor's Activity Fund may give the appearance of impropriety.
The City Attorney has been consulted on this matter, and has advised that there is no legal issue with the City
adopting the "City of Peace" tagline. The concern, rather, centers on messaging and brand consistency. An
illustration of the proposed logo and tagline applications is attached for your reference.
As a compromise to this issue, the City Council could choose to approve the use of the tagline, but also direct
the City's Communications Committee to produce guidelines as to when it would be applicable to use the
"City of Peace" branding for City purposes. The attached resolution is supportive of the tagline, but references
the creation of use guidelines.
Wfirce �M
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2016 -107, amending Official Logos, Style Guide and Brand for
the City to include the additional tagline of "Columbia Heights: City of Peace ".
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
