POLICE DEPARTMENT w
MEMORANDUM
To: Donna Schmitt, Mayor of Columbia Heights
Columbia Heights City Council
From: Lenny Austin, Chief of Police
Subject: Request for Upgrade of Public Safety Building Security Cameras
Date: September 27, 2018
At the 2018 budget presentation, I mentioned that the public safety building would be reviewing building
security in the future due to some of the dated security equipment as well as recent changes and concerns
with public safety. Since the installation of the current camera system in 2009, the police department has
implemented a designated safe exchange zone for internet or classified ad purchases. It is also used for child
custody drop offs. The current cameras do not provide enough coverage for this area and during a recent
security camera review, several other areas were also found to be lacking in camera surveillance coverage.
There have also been disturbances at the public safety building that occurred where there was no camera
coverage to document the incidents.
The Columbia Heights Police and Fire Departments are requesting approval to upgrade the current camera
system at the public safety building. This would include replacing as well as adding additional internal and
external cameras, and support equipment.
Bids were requested from three different vendors, of those, only two submitted proposals. The Police and
Fire Department is recommending Marco to conduct the upgrade and installation. It should be noted that
Marco initially installed the existing cameras as well as at other city buildings and have had good success
with their products.
The estimated cost of the security camera update is $20,074.36.
While this purchase was not included in the 2018 budget, the Police and Fire Departments currently has
funds available to cover the expense.

Activity Description
This activity classification encompasses recreational programs provided to youth. These programs consist of children
and adolescents K -12. Programs fall under several sport- specific headings, including baseball, softball, basketball,
football, soccer, volleyball, and wrestling. All programs are participation- oriented, with the focus on fun, socialization,
and athletic skill development. These particular programs provide the youth of Columbia Heights with supervised play
opportunities at local gym facilities and neighborhood parks. This category also provides one -forth of the Recreation
Coordinator salaries, gym supervisors and officials. Youth Athletics also provides office space to the J.P.M. budget.
Objectives
1. Work with our varsity coaches to help develop our youth sports programs.
2. Explore options of creating additional sports programs for younger age youth.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The 2019 Youth Athletics budget has increased $8,379. 25% of the full and part-time Recreation Coordinators salaries
are included within this budget. One reason this budget has not had major increases is due to the significant donation
of athletic equipment made by the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters Association. The Youth Athletic budget also
provides $2,861 for space allocation to J.P.M.

Activity Description
The Recreation Department coordinates day trips for senior citizens. These are advertised through the senior monthly
newsletters. It continues to be one of our most popular offerings as it provides transportation to and from various
venues throughout the metropolitan area. This program offers seniors an opportunity to do activities they may not be
able to do on their own. Many times there is a waiting list to attend these outings.
Currently, the vehicle used for these outings is 2003 Ford E350 mini bus that we acquired several years ago. It was a Park
n Fly vehicle from the airport. The mini bus is a 15 passenger bus that has 133,000 miles on it. Our Vehicle Maintenance
Supervisor has indicated that this vehicle is not as reliable as it once was. The Recreation Department would like to
replace this with a Ford Transport vehicle with an estimated cost of $65,000.
Objectives
1. Provide seniors with a well - planned and well- executed trip schedule of both one -day extended trips and small group
excursions.
2. Offer seniors a wide variety of well thought out and professionally executed trips that are extended trip options and
ones closer to home.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The Recreation Department would like to replace the existing 2003 Ford E350 that has 133,000 miles on it with a Ford

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
BUDGET 2019
Planning & Inspections Budget Comments Continued
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The Planning & Inspections Fund increased by $33,918 from 2018 to 2019, an increase of approximately 7.2% from the
previous year. This increase has been realized proportionally for both revenues and expenditures since, by design, this Fund
operates on a self- supporting basis through permit and license revenue activity. In the past, this Fund has been partially
supported by proceeds from the EDA and HRA levies; however, in 2019, the City Levy shall support this Fund.
PERSONAL SERVICES:
Personal Services will increase by $27,721 primarily due to the Community Development Department budgeting for a part-
time, temporary intern in 2019 and the COLA Allowance being incorporated into the 2019 budget. Previously, interns were not
incorporated into the Planning & Inspections budget prior to its adoption by City Council; however, based on the anticipated
work load from the commencement of Grand Central Flats and Hy -Vee, the Community Development Department shall use
permit revenue proceeds from 2018 to fund a Building Inspections Intern in 2019.
SUPPLIES:
Supplies will increase by $1,000 in order to adequately reflect the anticipated work load.
OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES:
Other Services & Charges will increase by $5,203 due to increases in Information System Services (4040), Training & Education
Activates (3105) to adequately reflect the anticipated seminars, conferences, and classes required for each position, as well as
Commissions & Boards (4380) to allow each Planning Commissioners to attend one training activity.
CAPITAL OUTLAY:
No Capital Outlay is anticipated for 2019.
OTHER FINANCING USES:
Other Financing Uses shall realize a nominal decrease of $6 based upon the 2019 Labor Administration Distribution.

Activity Description
The Economic Development Authority coordinates several activities that both directly and indirectly act as a catalyst for
improving the community's overall quality of life, business vitality, and economic performance. The main activities of
Economic Development Authority staff include providing support to the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority
and the Housing & Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Columbia Heights; leveraging public and private
partnerships to increase the amount of reinvestment within the City; serving as project managers for development and
redevelopment projects; writing and maintaining grants from governmental agencies and corporate institutions; preparing
and maintaining Tax Increment Financing, Tax Abatement, and Private Activity Bond records; developing and implementing a
Business Retention & Expansion program; managing housing programs; and facilitating the acquisition and conveyance of city
owned properties.
Objectives
City Goal - ECONOMIC STRENTH & EXCELLENT HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS
- Implement goals and objectives of the Economic Development Authority
- Monitor and implement housing programs to ensure neighborhood reinvestment is occurring.
- Develop and implement programs that work to increase assessed property values.
- Enhance business opportunities with the City.
- Develop and implement a Business Retention & Expansion program.
City Goal - AFFORDABILITY
- Work to ensure that high - quality, affordable housing options are available for all residents.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The Economic Development Authority Fund decreased by $203,642 from 2018 to 2019, a decrease of approximately 45.4%
from the previous year. This decrease is directly correlated to the HRA Levy being recognized in Fund 408 rather than Fund 204.
PERSONAL SERVICES:
Personal Services will increase by $38,126 due to anticipated cost of living adjustments, performance increases, the
reinstatement of the Community Development Manager position, and the COLA Allowance being incorporated into the
proposed 2019 budget.
SUPPLIES:
Supplies will increase by $1,500 to properly address the anticipated work load.
OTHER SERVICES & CHARGES:
Other Services & Charges will increase by $10,716 due to increases in Expert & Professional Services (3050), Prop & Liab
Insurance (3600), and Training & Education Activates (3105) to adequately reflect the anticipated seminars, conferences, and
classes required for each position.
OTHER FINANCING USES:
Other Financing Uses will decrease by $253,984 due to the reallocation of the EDA and HRA Levies beginning in 2019, and the
recognition of the HRA Levy in Fund 408 rather than Fund 204 to support the increases in redevelopment project and program
expenditures.

Activity Description
The Library serves a diverse community's need for access to resources, information, and technology in a welcoming
environment. It collects and lends materials in multiple formats including books, magazines, newspapers, music, videos,
and energy meters. R provides educational programs and services including literacy -based storytimes, adult language
learning and literacy programs, reading programs for all ages, arts and cultural events, and home delivery of materials_
The Library provides free access to computer software programs, the internet, and online research and instructional
databases. It facilitates summer nutritional programs for children and provides space for individual work or study and
public meetings. Library staff provide one -to -one and class -based computer instruction as well as research and
reference assistance. Library staff provide customer service during 54 operational hours each week. The Library
contracts with Anoka County Library for inclusion in an integrated library system to manage patron information and
collection inventory, delivery of materials, and access to electronic resources such as databases, e- books, e- magazines,
and downloadable audiobooks, it participates in the Metropolitan Library Service Agency (as an Associate Library), the
Minitex multi -state interlibrary loan program, the Statewide Borrowers' Compact, and METRONET. These cooperative
agreements enable Columbia Heights residents to gain access to library materials, special services, and electronic
resources available throughout the state of Minnesota. The cooperative agreements also provide staff with professional
training and development opportunities_
Objectives
In 2019 Library staff will continue to provide the resources and programs described in the previous Activity Description,
They will connectvisitors with the information and materials they need; provide a safe and welcoming space to study,
work, and connect with neighbors; offer educational and entertaining programming forchildren and adults; and address
the unique information and continuing education needs of the Columbia Heights community_ 2019 will be the third full
year in the Central Avenue facility, Electricity costs include acquisition costs for rooftop solar panels to reduce future
electricity costs. Library technology, including RFID- enabled self -check stations and security gates and automated mater!
handling equipment, have significant annual maintenance costs but result in reduced labor costs. Library customers
appreciate the modem convenience of self check and book drop technology. As we look to future budgets, public
computing hardware and software, now four years old, will need to be updated, Library Board and staff will begin a
strategic planning process in 2019 to guide library objectives over the next five years.

Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The proposed budget for 2019 includes a 53% increase over the 2018 adopted budget.
Personnel:
Personnel expenses account for two- thirds of the overall library budget. No contracts have been settled with bargaining
units for 2019. Four of six full -time staff and five of twelve part -time staff are still progressing through approved steps of
pay ranges. The library aide position will remain unfilled in 2019. Staffing is at the absolute minimum to allow 54 hours
of public service each week. Staffing levels limit library staff availability for outreach events during regular operational
hours and substitute coverage during paid leaves. Underspending of past budgets was largely due to staff departures
and subsequent delays in the appointment of replacements.
Supplies:
The supplies budget has decreased from the adopted 2018 budget. The increase in line 2025 (ACS supplies) anticipates
the need to purchase library cards in 2019. The increase in line 2171 (general supplies) incorporates the cost of toilet
paper and paper towels for public restrooms and building cleaning supplies, which were erroneously budgeted to the
building maintenance line (4010) in the past. All other lines have been decreased or remain the same as 2018 based on
actual expenditures in 2017 and the need to redirect collection dollars toward building and equipment maintenance,
Preliminary conversations with Anoka County Library anticipate reductions in collection spending in 2019, including for
e -books and periodicals.
Other Services and Charge,-.
This section of the budget incorporates a 13% increase over 2018. Electric and gas utilities were budgeted at 5% over
2017 actual expenditures; water and sewer costs were estimated at 2.5% over 2017 actuals. Line 3810 (electrical) also
includes amortized costs for the purchase and installation of rooftop solar panels , which will result in significant
reductions in electricity costs once payout has been completed. The slight Increase in line 3050 (professional services)
anticipates an inflation -based increase to integrated library system software sharing costs and audit fees, The increase to
line 4000 includes allowances for copier and printer overage charges to contracted maintenance agreements based on
actual usage. Property and liability insurance costs have Increased 6% from 2018. Building maintenance labor costs have
increased 11% over 2018_
The increase in the information systems line item M4040 reflects a 15% cost increase in this internal charge for all city
departments using information services in 2019. From 2015 through 2018, the City phased in a long -term update to the
proportionate shares of IJS costs allocated between user departments based on the number of devices in use in
2015. Beginning in 2019, the I/S charges reflect actual current costs. For tax- supported departments, additional 2019
funding is provided specifically for this 15% increase, so that departments are not required to fund it from the basic 3.5%
inflation allowance provided to each 2019 budget.
Capital Crutlav:
No capital outlay is anticipated for 2019.
Other Financing Uses:
Charges for the library share of city administrative staff remain unchanged from 2018.

Police Budget Comments Continued
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The Police Department's proposed 2019 budget comes in at $4,837,800, a 3.8% increase, which is in keeping with the City's
overall proposed budget.
Personnel: Because contracts for 2019 are not yet in place, personnel costs for all employees were calculated based on 2018
contract amounts, plus expected movement through salary and longevity steps. Line item 1020 Overtime was increased to
$120,000 to bring it more in line with actual costs. An additional amount of $150,500 was included in line item 1810 as
anticipated COLA increases.
Supplies: Most changes in the Supplies section are minor ones, taking into account the previous years' actual expenditures.
Most notable was a decrease in the line item 2282 Gas, Oil, Lubricants, which was decreased by $8,000 from 2018. This resulted
in a decrease of about $6,000 from last year's total in this section. We are budgeting for the replacement of seven computers, per
the IS department's recommendations.
Other Services and Charges: Line item 3050 Expert and Professional Services sees an increase again this year to reflect
anticipated expenses in line with 2017 expenditures of almost $81,000. Our share of the Public Safety Data System is leveling off
somewhat; our expense for 2019 is expected to be about $40,000.
Line item 3105 Training and Educational Activities is being budgeted at $28,000, up $1,000 from last year's budgeted amount and
in line with 2017 actual expenditures and anticipated training needs.
Line items 3105 Training and 3320 Out of Town Travel Expense include amounts to cover the costs of two department personnel
to attend the IACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police) Conference. The IACP Conference features training on industry
best practices as well as information on current and future policing trends, and the opportunity to network with professionals
experienced in managing police agencies. This important training is critical to providing police administrators with information
that can be used to help identify future trends in crime issues and shape future strategic initiatives.
Line item 4100 Rents and Leases includes an expenditure of $19,395 to cover the cost of body worn cameras, an amount that was
initially included in 2018 after an extensive review of the body worn camera options concluded that the leasing program offered
through Taser International is best suited to our needs for the next five years. 2019 will be the second year of that five -year
program. The result of this equipment lease and storage solution will be a budget increase as the cost is predictable, there is an
ongoing expense, and the expense is appropriately positioned within the regular budget as opposed to Capital Equipment.

Police Capital Equipment Budget Comments Continued
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
Vehicles: As a part of the Police Department Capital Equipment replacement plan to maintain a safe and dependable
vehicle fleet, the Police Department requests authorization to purchase two Ford Police Interceptor patrol vehicles and
one unmarked vehicle. The purchase of two marked squad cars per year allows the department to keep the fleet in better
working order, and aids in controlling costs on replacement parts. This also allows the marked squads to be rotated out of
the police fleet after four years of service, and rotated into another department in the city, who in turn get a better
operating vehicle for conventional uses.
The police department is budgeting for the purchase of two Ford Utility vehicles this year. Ford has announced that they
plan to discontinue production of the Taurus sedan. The advantages presented by the Utility include the added space for
occupants and gear, and it offers increased maneuverability in poor weather conditions. The added room is used to
better store and carry police equipment and supplies to include entry tools, first aid equipment and tactical gear. In
addition, the increased size of the passenger compartment in the Utility vehicle offers better room and comfort for our
larger statured officers. The vehicle will be purchased from the dealership awarded under the State of Minnesota
Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV)
In addition, the police department is budgeting to replace one unmarked vehicle in 2019. The vehicle scheduled for
replacement is a 2009 Chevy Impala with over 55,300 miles on it. The age and mileage make this an inadequate vehicle
for public safety use. The police department has determined the Ford Explorer vehicle to be an excellent fit for police
work through the use as a patrol car and feel these qualities will extend to an unmarked vehicle as well. As a result, we
are budgeting for a 2019 Ford Explorer, or similarly priced and equipped vehicle, listed on the CPV. This vehicle has
comparable pricing and fuel economy when compared to past vehicle purchases, and is roomier and better equipped to
carry needed police equipment.
The police department is budgeting to purchase the following vehicles:
2 - 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles $27,393.45 e-
1 - 2018 unmarked Ford Explorer or similar $26,096.46
Total (rounded) $81,000
The police department is also budgeting to expend up to $36,700 for outfitting and setting up these vehicles for patrol
use. This amount includes the standard set -up as has been done in the past, plus the purchase of necessary equipment
for the squads including laptop computers. The squad outfitting will be awarded to the vendor listed on the State of MN
CPV or a comparable vendor. The amount is less per vehicle than in previous years due to the department being able to
reuse equipment that is still serviceable from the SUV's that are coming out of service as patrol vehicles.
The total budgeted for squad cars and set -up in 2019 is $117,700.
Radios: The police department has been notified by Anoka County Radio that the current generation of police portable
radios we have in use are going end -of -life and will no longer be supported effective December, 2019. In addition, the
current listening technology has made police radio communications easily monitored by the public. The encryption of the
radios will allow radio communications to be made private; which increases officer safety and police effectiveness.
The police department is budgeting capital to replace the portable radios for police, community service officers and
reserves.
These radios will be purchased through Anoka County and will utilize the vendor listed on the CPV. The total budgeted for
replacement portable radios in 2019 is $194,000.

Activity Description
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA
BUDGET 2019
The Fire Department provides medical care, fire suppression, public education, and inspection services for the citizens of
Columbia Heights. The Fire Department also supplies the City of Hilltop with fire and medical service through a contract
agreement. The Fire Department will continue to work with neighboring communities to share resources through auto aid
and mutual aid agreements along with sharing of personnel for County and regional teams. Emergency Management
works side by side with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Minnesota Department of Homeland Security and
Emergency Management, and the Anoka County Emergency Manager to provide emergency management for the
protection of public safety, health, and welfare in our city during emergencies and natural disasters.
Objectives
The Fire Department prides itself in our pro- active, modern approach in providing fire and EMS services. Based on the goals
and objectives of city staff and the City Council we will continue to strive toward meeting some of these goals by:
Build and Expand collaboration with the School District, other public entities by continuing and building our involvement
with County and regional teams, emergency management organizations, the sharing of resources with neighboring
communities, and continuing our move to the county wide computer data system.
Conduct an Evaluation of City Staffing Levels by continuing to look at different, more stable staffing models, prioritizing fire
department functions, and training full time staff for the fire department of the future which includes emergency
management. The 2018 staffing study will be used as a resource in these evaluations.
Expand Public safety community engagement programs with emphasis on prevention by having the fire department
become more involved in outside community organizations, expanding our public education program, and working with the
school district to provide a more efficient fire prevention education program in our schools. This goal may be difficult to
achieve with current staffing due to the significant amount of time and resources dedicated to the Property Maintenance
Inspection program.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA

Fire Budget Comments Continued
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The increases in the number of emergency calls, requests for fire services, rental properties and the need for property
inspections has outpaced the abilities of the current Fire Department staffing model to complete everything in a timely
manner.
A National trend that we are also seeing in Minnesota is the difficulty in recruiting and retaining Paid -on -Call Firefighters.
POC firefighters are covering less open shifts due to the changing demographics and their use of their free time. Using POC
firefighters to cover shifts for full time firefighters is no longer a stable option. Overtime is proposed to increase and will
continue to be high in order to maitain a minimum of two firefighters on duty and to conduct inspections. This workload is
causing "burn out" of the full time staff. A staffing study will be completed in 2018 that will assist in making decisions for
staffing the Fire Department at a level that will allow quality inspections to be conducted, not just quanity, along with the
time and staff to fulfill our core fire department and emergency managment missions.
The percentage of time that individual positions are charged to the Property Inspections budget has not been updated since
its inception in 2010. An evaluation of the time was conducted and the percentage for some positions, especially the
firefighters, has increased dramatically. This has almost doubled the cost of the inspection program and shows the
significant subsidy of the City, and the Fire Department to run the program.
The combined Fire /Property Inspections budget shows a net increase of $124,571 or 7.6% over 2018. The Fire Department
42200 budget by itself shows a decrease of -5.2% due to more time being shifted to the Property Inspections Department
42300, but there are still significant budget increases in the Fire Department. In Personal Services, increases include
$20,000 in Overtime to bring it more in line with annual expenditures. Other increases include contract step increases for
two firefighters and a Captain, plus related fringe. Also included is an increase in the City contribution to PERA that was
recently passed by the State Legislature, and a COLA increase. The Supplies budget shows a small increase due to a $2,000
increase in computer equipment and a $3,000 increase in General Supplies mostly due to an increase of cost for medical
supplies. An overall increase of $19,300 in the Other Services & Charges area is mostly due to increases of $3,000 in
Training, $2,900 in our allocation of Building Maintenance labor costs, and a $7,300 increase in our IS allocation.

Activity Description
Property Inspections incorporates all rental property licensing and inspections, long grass /weed inspections, nuisance
inspections and property maintenance inspections under one budget.
Objectives
The Fire Department provides timely and efficient fire and property maintenance inspection services in order to maintain
property values by:
Build and Expand collaboration with the School District, other public entities by continuing our strong partnerships with other
city departments to provide coordinated inspection services.
Conduct an Evaluation of City Staffing Levels by evaluating our inspection staffing needs to meet the demands of the high
number of rental properties and property maintenance inspection demands. The 2018 staffing study will be used as a resource
in these evaluations.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The number of rental properties and licensing inspections has leveled off but is still too high for current staffing. The need for
property maintenance inspections continues to remain high. Staffing needs will be continually evaluated in order to provide
the necessary staff to do the inspections in a timely and efficient manner while also allowing the fire staff to complete their
fire /EMS responsibilities.
The combined Fire /Property Inspections budget shows a net increase of $124,571 or 7.6% over 2018. The Property
Inspections Department 42300 budget by itself shows an increase from 2018 to 2019 of $198,628 or 95.4 %. The percentage
of time that individual positions are charged to the Property Inspections budget has not been updated since its inception in
2010. An evaluation of the time was conducted and the percentage for some positions, especially the firefighters, has
increased dramatically. This has almost doubled the cost of the inspection program and shows the significant subsidy of the
City, and the Fire Department to run the program.
Small changes in the Supplies area and the Other Services and Charges area show a small overall increase of $200.00.

INTERNAL STAFFTNG ASSESSMENT
City of Columbia Heights Fire Department
Prepared for Columbia Heights City Council
August 2018
21
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY by Fire Chief Gary Gorman
The Columbia Heights Fire Department is currently experiencing a staffing problem. Building up
over the past decade, the problem has reached a point where it must be addressed directly. An
increase in calls for service during this period has created a demand for services that exceeds
our staffing resources. Increases in call volume, a change in the dynamics of the City's
properties, and a shortage of staffing and experience of new staff, limit the capabilities of the
current staff to adequately meet the expectations and needs of the community we serve. A
study of the Department's staffing needs has been initiated but this has created another
problem. The completion date for the study will be after the City's budget process for 2019,
meaning that any additional staff the study suggests, needed today, will have to wait to be
included in the next budget cycle and any new staffing will not be able to be hired until 2020. In
an effort to be proactive, I would like to request that the Council establishes funding in the
2019 Fire Department budget for the hiring of an additional two full -time firefighters and
amend the Property Maintenance Clerk- Typist II position from part -time to full -time.
This document explains the rationale behind that request and outlines some of the factors that
have influenced the need for additional staffing.
22
Established on May 26, 1907, and composed of citizens of the community, the Columbia Heights Fire
Department began an all- volunteer department. Department members received a modest
compensation from the City for response to emergencies. Early on, the Department leaders saw the
value in fire prevention and education and, in 1935, adopted and enforced the first fire and life safety
code and visited schools to perform public education. Providing excellent service to the community has
always been important to the Department and in that era the Department saw the need and an
opportunity to expand its services to help their fellow citizens by providing "first aid" emergency
medical services to those in distress. Department records show first aid responses dating back to the
early 1940s. The increased volume of calls for service led to the hiring from within the Volunteer ranks
of Fire Chief Omar Schwartz in 1942, who became the Department's first Full -time Firefighter, followed
shortly after by the second Full -time Firefighter William Ostmoe in 19431.
Over the next 25 years the Department evolved into the combination department it is today. The City
hired additional Full -time Firefighters as call volume and demand for additional services required more
time than could be given by the Department's volunteers. The combination model of full -time and part -
time firefighter staffing has dominated the fire department's staffing landscape for the past 75 years
and has served the taxpayers well as a cost - effective solution to emergency response. At its peak, the
Department employed nine full -time Suppression firefighting personnel. In 1976, one of the firefighter
positions was eliminated through attrition, dropping the number to eight. The Fire Department's
Suppression Division currently employs eight full -time staff and 18 volunteer part-time staff, or "Paid -
on- Calls ", has one full -time Fire Secretary, and one part-time Property Maintenance Clerk.
The scope of the Department's delivery of services has grown over time with the expectations placed
upon them by its citizens and society. Today, the department provides emergency response for fire
suppression, natural disasters, emergency medical calls, hazardous materials incidents, specialized
rescue, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, and active shooter incidents. Non - emergency services
include public education and training, emergency preparedness and management, fire investigation,
state fire code inspections, and inspection and enforcement for the City's Property Maintenance Code,
long grass, and outside storage ordinances.

CALLS FOR SERVICE
In the past three decades, the national average for calls for service has tripled. In addition, the public
expectation for more and better quality fire and rescue services has also increased'. The call volume at
the time the Department took on the Housing Maintenance Inspections was 1,574 calls per year. That
number has slowly been climbing upward and, in 2017, the fire department responded to a record 2,904
calls for service. The largest bulk of the calls for service have historically been response to medical
incidents, which last year accounted for 2,485 of the total call volume. Fire - related incidents accounted
for the other 419 of the calls, 38 of which were structure fires. Through the end of July of this year, the
Department has responded to 1,801 calls for service. This number sets the Department on pace for
another record - breaking number of calls for service in 2018.

INSPECTIONS AND PROPERTY DYNAMICS
The Department provides inspection services by enforcing the Minnesota State Fire Code and several
City ordinances, including the Property Maintenance Code. Annual commercial property inspections of
businesses are performed in the late fall and winter, leaving the months of March through September
for rental property inspections and
licensing.
In respect to services provided it is
significant to note the fire
department's historical involvement
with the City's Property Maintenance
Code (PMC), formerly known as the
Housing Maintenance Code (HMC).
After its adoption in 1990, the HMC
was initially placed under control of
the Community Development
department. By summer of that year,
the Fire Department had begun to
assist Community Development with
the rental property inspection
program as the inspection tasks had
quickly overwhelmed their staffing.
Over the next two years, Community
Development came to the realization
that the time required by the
program was more than what their
staff could effectively manage and, at
the time, moving the HMC Program

and easily filled the firefighter's time
between calls and other duties. In 1992 the City transferred full responsibility for the inspection and
licensing of rental properties to the Fire Department. The responsibility for the HMC initially came
26
without additional staffing and the Assistant Fire Chief took time away from his fire - related duties to
perform HMC clerical duties.
At first, the rental inspections were performed by only two of the full -time firefighters on duty. At that
time, the approximately 5213 rental properties in the City were on a four -year inspection schedule so
only one quarter (approximately 130) of the rental properties received a complete interior and exterior
inspection each year. In 1996, due to deteriorated maintenance conditions throughout the city, the fire
department proposed to the City Manager that all rental properties should receive annual inspections to
keep the properties on par with the minimum standards the HMC had established. To accomplish this,
all six full -time firefighters began performing annual HMC rental inspections. Since then the properties
are on an annual schedule where half of the properties receive a complete interior and exterior
inspection and the other half of the properties receive an exterior and, if applicable, a common area
inspection. In 2007, the fire department rewrote the Housing Maintenance Code and the City adopted
the new code as the Property Maintenance Code, which now
applied to all properties in the City; residential
commercial, or industrial.
In an effort to increase efficiency of
government by having fewer
inspectors visit a property, the
Fire Department also took on
the grass and weed inspections
from Public Works and the
garbage and outside storage
inspections from the Police
Department. The fire
department did not believe, based
on
past history, that these
responsibilities
would significantly
increase the number of inspections performed.
The recession from 2008 to 2012 is a tragedy Figure 3 Data obtained from City of Columbia Heights Annual
Reports, 1990 -2017
unforeseen by the City as dozens of properties in
3 1992 City of Columbia Heights Annual Report
27
the city became foreclosed and subsequently vacant, requiring intervention by fire department
inspectors. Violations such as outside storage, long grass, and scrub growth, as well as vacant and
unsecured properties required immediate and continual attention by the Department. The recession
caused a significant drop in city -wide property values. The dynamics of property ownership in the city
shifted as foreclosed and vacant single - family homes, purchased and converted to rental properties,
created close to a 77% increase in the number of rental properties. Complicating matters further, the
City, also affected by the recession, made the tough decision in 2009 to severely cut budgets. The fire
department budget, whose largest budget share is primarily composed of employee salaries, had to
eliminate the 40 -hour per week HMC clerical position in order to meet budgetary goals. To this day, the
40 -hour clerical position remains vacant. With only the 20 -hour per week HMC clerical position
remaining, the layoff severely handicapped the ability of the fire department to manage the inspection
program and process the increasing number of inspections created by the recession. The Department's
proactive inspection program became reactive and took longer to process as firefighters, whose strong
suit is not necessarily clerical in nature, assisted with data entry. The trend of declining single - family
home ownership in the city is likely to remain the same as millennials, who for several reasons, are
delaying the purchase of or opting not to purchase homee.
In the past three years, the Department has had two 30 -year plus veteran Fire Captains retire and is
expecting the retirement of one of its 30 -year plus Full -time Firefighters around the end of the current
year. That's over 90 years of strategic and tactical firefighting, EMS, and inspection experience lost.
Experience on an emergency scene makes the job safer for firefighters and citizens alike by reducing the
risk of injury and death. Experience cannot be taught. New firefighters receive training and gain "task"
knowledge. This serves as a knowledge foundation and from that point on they experience learning,
which builds experience. On the inspection side, the loss of three experienced inspectors slows down
inspections as the new inspectors are learning to perform the job efficiently and accurately. Even when
teamed with an experienced Inspector, it takes a longer time to perform an inspection as every
inspection is a teaching moment. This extends the time it takes to perform an inspection, which coupled
with an increase of inspections, reduces the number of inspections able to be performed in an
inspection day.

A 2015 report on recruitment and retention of Volunteer /Paid -on -Call firefighters (POC) by the National
Volunteer Fire Council states "the number of volunteer firefighters and emergency responders in the
United States is declining — about 12 percent in just the past three decades — leaving nearly half of U.S.
communities at increased risk during emergencies. This declining number of volunteers coincides with
an increased call volume that has tripled in that time, and an increased public expectation for more and
better quality fire and rescue servicesi5. The Columbia Heights Fire Department is observing the same
decline in volunteers both regionally and locally. Currently the average length of service for a POC
firefighter is approximately 36 months, of which, the first 12 -18 months is spent on training. Financially,
from application to the end of probation, the City spends approximately $12,000 to $15,000 on each
employee. A "normal" day in the fire department consists of many activities squeezed into it and two
firefighters on duty to accomplish them. Deviating from the norm, when one of the full -time firefighters
is sick or on vacation, the Department loses 50% of their daily shift workforce. For the safety and
security of firefighters and residents, the Department places a high priority on interior inspections being
conducted with two firefighters. For many years the taxpayers have had the luxury of having most of
the vacancies in the daytime shifts staffed with POC's who were available weekdays. While the POC
firefighters can assist with EMS and fire calls, they lack training as an inspector and, in some cases, are
not able to drive a rescue vehicle or fire engine. Having two experienced and trained inspectors on duty
is critical in order to manage the current workload of inspections. Currently, there are no POC
Firefighters that are consistently available to cover daytime weekday shift vacancies.

between 2006 and 2010 is for hours cut due to budget cuts during the recession.
Paralleling the national issue of a decline in the recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters the
Fire Department has seen a decline in the ability to recruit qualified candidates and retain volunteer
5 Volunteer Firefighter Recruitment and Retention Formative Research Results, (National Volunteer Fire Council, March 2015).

firefighters for long -term employment. Emergency services are the most demanding of volunteer
activities today. The demands on people's time in a hectic modern society; more stringent training
requirements; population shifts from smaller towns to urban centers; changes in the nature of small
town industry and farming and a decline in the sense of civic responsibility, are examples of factors that
affect successful recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters6. Currently, 11 of the Department's
18 POC firefighters have four or fewer years on the department. The inexperience of the POC staff
places additional stress on the full -time staff tasked with mentoring, teaching, and assisting the
inexperienced firefighters who are working in shifts. Until the new firefighters can gain experience they
must be closely overseen during incidents to ensure their safety as well as the safety of other personnel
and the public.
In addition, staffing vacancies in shifts with the full -time staff on overtime creates another set of issues.
The department has a normal shift schedule that consists of two of the six full -time staff on duty at all
times. That leaves only four of the full -time staff available to call in on overtime to cover any vacancies.
Overtime is costly for the City and the additional hours working in a stressful environment is taking its
toll on the mental health of the full -time staff. The normal work schedule for the Department's 56 -hour
per week full -time firefighters is 2,912 hours per year compared to 2,080 hours per year for a 40 -hour
per week employee. Working long hours and stress is detrimental to the long -term physical and mental
health wellbeing of full -time Suppression staff. In 2017, three of the six firefighters worked a total of
3,100 or more hours. An abundance of recent research pertaining to firefighter health shows that those
in the fire service experience much higher rates of mental health challenges than the general
population, particularly in the areas of sleep disorders, depression, substance abuse, post- traumatic
stress disorder and suicidal ideation /action. In fact, research suggests that there is an association
between the number of years of duty in the fire service and higher levels of suicidal ideation /action'.
The National Fire Protection Council (NFPA) develops staffing and response standards for full -time,
volunteer, and combination departments. Numerous studies on staffing for fire and EMS agencies over
the past 20 years have concluded that four firefighters is the optimal staffing for response to fire and
emergency medical incidents. The Department's leaders are confident that the City's current staffing
study will conclude similar results as these previous studies. Some of the staffing studies are referenced
at the end of this document.

Department inspectors perform inspections on weekdays, which amount to an average 21 weekdays per
month. Using past inspection history the average number of inspections per day is 22. Scheduled
inspections of rental properties having four units or fewer require a minimum of one half of an hour for
a complete inspection. Since there are only 11 half hour slots in an inspection day, half of the
inspections are "squeezed in" between other scheduled inspections. The highest number of calls in the
inspection day occurs between the hours of 11 am and 1 pm. This has been continually problematic
when it comes to providing adequate time for the firefighters to have some down time and eat lunch.
Additionally, the Department's Firefighters have other collateral duties that require time during the day
to perform; working with vendors, answering and returning phone calls and emails, station
maintenance, vehicle and equipment checks and maintenance, public education, planning, preparing,
and performing training for the department, and other daily tasks and duties assigned to them. The
recent addition of emergency management duties and responsibilities to the firefighters has increased
their duties and responsibilities. The firefighters attempt to perform these duties in the morning before
their first scheduled inspection, between inspections, during their lunch break, or in the evening after
the inspection day is over, but with so many interruptions it is difficult for them to accomplish many of
these duties. The firefighter's schedules are such that they only work one or two weekdays per week so
it is imperative they make contact with outside contacts and vendors during those weekday hours. The
graphic below places the work and time in chart form. On average there is 2.75 hours of additional work
than there are hours in a normal workday. This creates pressure on the inspectors and office to
complete inspections based on speed rather than quality and the program as a whole suffers.

Note that inspections of buildings of more than four units are scheduled for a minimum of one hour, and
additional time is required for very large buildings. Public Education events and tours are scheduled in
blocks of one half an hour plus travel and preparation time. These activities are interwoven into the
inspection schedule and further reduce the time available for inspections.
The current hectic inspections schedule and increase in call volume has forced the department to be
reactive towards prevention efforts, placing several vital components of a Comprehensive Fire
Prevention Program on the "back burner". Most people understand that preventing emergencies is the
most cost effective way to deal with them. However, few in our modern industrialized society place
much emphasis on prevention. Attention is usually focused elsewhere, until a catastrophic event has
already occurred and requires emergency response. Then attempts at prevention are too late. A
Comprehensive Prevention Program is a combination of loss- control strategies designed to produce
results in reducing risk or losses in any given community. All good programs start with engineering and
safety solutions, such as plan review of new construction for water supply, fire department access, and
fixed protection systems. Comprehensive prevention programs also include enforcement efforts, such as
a well- designed fire inspection program that ensures code compliance. Another essential element of a
good program includes developing partnerships with community entities to create, fund, and present
educational activities that are well designed to reach the public through the school system or by other
targeted means. In addition, an adequate fire investigation program helps guide the development of
effective prevention strategies by providing information necessary to target prevention efforts
appropriately. Comprehensive programs also include efforts to help control the problem of arson$. The
Fire Department has long been good at documentation of incidents and inspections in the City but has
traditionally lacked the staff time to conduct a Comprehensive Risk Assessment of the city. A
Comprehensive Risk Assessment consists of an analysis of historical data to identify and prioritize the
hazards present in the City. Nor has the Department had the staff time to develop programs, train
educators, implement the programs, or evaluate the effectiveness of programs based on the identified
hazards. Currently, the fire prevention education being taught in the elementary schools is based on the
2009 "Staying Alive Inc." curriculum and has never been evaluated by our department to determine if it
is effective or not. A Comprehensive Fire Prevention Program is a cyclical process where each step
determines the actions in the next step, which eventually leads back and supports the first step. The lack
of staffing and time to address the fire prevention cycle has created several gaps in the fire prevention
process that leaves the city and its citizens vulnerable to hazards and risks.

THE FINANCIAL PIECE
All things in government come with a price. Staffing is no exception. Minnesota, despite being the 21St
most populous state and 12th largest in area, ranks 45th in the nation in per household ($218) fire
service spending. In comparison, per the Minnesota Center for Fiscal Excellence, Minnesota ranked 3rd in
Public Welfare ($16,111 per person at /below 150% of poverty level), 17th in spending for Police
MW WEL}`RRE � Protection ($890 per household3) and
3 rd 5g9 ` 18th on education spending ($13,070 per
pupil)9. Columbia Heights residents in

that same year spent $168 for fire

U$ 1692 comparison, Columbia Heights residents

spent $502 per household for Police
protection.
The majority of fire department's
budget, like other departments in the
City, is spent on staffing. At this time, a
portion of the full -time firefighter p-
ositions are being supported by PMC
i~ SN inspection budget dollars. This is unusual
)7n a in the fact that the City would need the

Tf�! ?4i ��! ,3:1
involvement with the PMC inspection
program. It has been a financial boon
that the taxpayers has been able to save
money on its fire protection by having the City support the fire department suppression staffing with
Property Maintenance funds but it makes sense to fully fund the current fire department suppression
staffing level so that it is self- sufficient. In the scenario of removing PMC inspections from the fire
department, the loss of the PMC supportive funding will leave a gap in funding for the current fire

33
suppression staff. Summarily, it is reasonable to expect the City to fully fund its fire protection and not
rely on a separate program's funding to subsidize staffing for an essential service they are obligated to
provide.
As mentioned previously, the full time staff works many hours of overtime to cover for other firefighters
who are off duty due to compensatory, vacation, or sick leave. The graphic below illustrates the amount
of shift coverage overtime spent during weekday hours:

Figure 7 Overtime costs for past three years.
The amounts above illustrate the benefit of having the additional staffing during the week, which
reduces the amount of overtime coverage by approximately one half.
Annually, the Fire Department produces revenue from the following four sources:
Multiple Dwellings. Revenue generated from Property Maintenance Code related activities such as
rental license fees, re- inspection fees, and late fees.
State Fire Training. This revenue comes in the form of reimbursements from the Minnesota Board of
Firefighter Training and Education (MBFTE) for fire training, certification classes, schools and
conferences and from the Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (EMSRB) for revenue to assist
with maintaining our EMS training and certifications. This amount varies each year depending on
allocated funding from the State.
34
Special Fire Services. This line of revenue is from fire department activities and services such as
recreational fire permit fees and plan review fees. This revenue line also includes the City of Hilltop fire

Abatement Services. This revenue is generated from the administrative fees for abatement services
and grass cutting. Over the past four years the Fire Department has averaged approximately
$271,098.00 of annual revenue.
SUMMARY
The current staffing resources within the Fire Department are inadequate to manage the increase in
demand for services. This increase in demand, especially in the areas of emergency response and
inspection duties, coupled with a general decrease of staffing has pushed programs into a reactive state
rather than a proactive one. The current staffing model is ineffective, costly in overtime, and affects the
safety of our staff and citizens by placing additional physical and mental stressors on our staff. Staffing
limitations have hampered the ability to perform an efficient and effective Comprehensive Risk
assessment and create a proactive Fire Prevention program that improves the safety of our citizens. The
City, in recognition of these deficiencies, has commissioned a staffing study that will look at this
problem. However, the results of the study will come too late for the 2019 budget and levy cycle and
any potential budgetary increases for additional personnel the study suggests will be pushed into the
[ ��
2020 budget cycle. This means that additional staffing, needed today, will not be able to be hired until
2020. 1 have a high level of confidence, based on current duties, call volume, national response
standards, and national studies on fire and EMS response, that the staffing study will suggest an increase
in staffing for the fire department.
In an effort to redirect the fire department back onto a proactive path, I would respectfully request that
the Council establishes an increase in funding for the 2019 Fire Department budget for the hire of two
new permanent Full -time Firefighter positions and amend the Property Maintenance Clerk- Typist II
position from part -time to full -time. The estimated cost of these positions, based on 2018 wages, is
$85,000 for each firefighter and $41,000 for the additional Clerk- Typist II hours. This proposed increase
in staffing will act as a stop gap until the City can develop and implement a long term staffing solution
and will act as a stimulus to set the department back on to a more proactive path for its programs.

Activity Description
This department is responsible for the administration of all activities, functions, and programs of the City in accordance
with the policies and guidelines adopted by the City Council. Duties of the department include planning, organizing,
directing, and coordinating the operations of all departments, with the exception of the Police Department. This
department is responsible for human resources, labor relations, and employee relations functions of the City.
Objectives
1. Improve communications with employees via intranet, online services, and employee meetings which, furthers the
City Council's goal of recruiting, training, and retaining a talented and professional workforce .
2. Continue to implement new Human Resources Information System which also furthers the City Council's goal of
recruiting, training, and retaining a talented and professional workforce.
3. Continue to improve communications to better inform the public of City activities; and provide better
communication to our residents whose primary language is not English. This objective directly addresses the City
Council goal of developing a communications plan and staff position including exploring more effective uses of
communication vehicles, engaging multi - cultural communities, and modernizing use of technology to engage youth in
the community.
4. Continue to implement a streamlined records retention program, which again furthers the City Council's goal of
enhanced communication by improving the public's access to government information. Actively work to purge files
that are well outside the records retention schedule.
5. Work to recruit and retain high quality employees who better represent the residents we serve which directly
furthers the City Council's goal of recruiting, training, and retaining a talented and professional workforce.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
The City Manager budget increased by $20,896 from 2018 to 2019, a 3.7% overall increase. Personal Services made up
the largest increase at $13,550. Contingencies made up $5,000 of the increase as $20,000 was budgeted for the City's
participation in the Government Alliance on Race and Equity that is offered through the League of Minnesota Cities.
Other changes include a $1,300 reduction in Supplies, and an increase of $3,646 in Other Services and Charges to
provide for citywide administrative staff safety and respectful workplace training, increased ICMA membership fees,
and increases to the Employee and Volunteer Recognition line items to better cover costs for the holiday lunch and
employee and outstanding citizen award recognition.

The Cable Television Department operates under the Administration Department to administer the franchise ordinances with
Comcast and Centuryl-ink; operate the local government access channel, and provide customer resolution to their cable
service and billing issues.
Objectives
1. Continue to administer franchise ordinances , which further the City Council goal of expanding collaboration with the other
public entities. Begin to negotiate a franchise extension with Comcast.
2. Expand the amount of information and programming on the government access channel by both creating video content
internally and working with outside agencies to broadcast relevant information they have created. This objective meets and
benefits from the City Council goals of creating a communications plan, exploring more effective use of communication
vehicles, modernizing the use of technology to engage youth, building on expanding collaboration with other public entities
and supporting volunteerism within the community.
3. Enhance staff training and technical services on the cable broadcasting software and hardware as well as the City website,
which meets the City Council goal of training and retaining a talented and professional workforce as well as developing a staff
succession /transition plan.
Budget Comments on Proposed Budget
Overall, the Cable Television budget increased by $13,994, or 7.4 %. Personal Services reduced by $726 due to more precise
wages being available for the Communications Coordinator. The Supplies budget was increased by $4,300 due to the
proposed implementation of NeoGov, an online application processing system. Other Services and Charges increased by
$15,309 due in large part to the inclusion of BambooHR HRIS subscription. Other Financing Uses was increased by $111 due
an increase in the operating transfer out for labor.
