The purpose of the continuation is to hear additional information regarding only those property values appealed and discussed on the April 9, 1992 and to consider adoption of the 1992 Assessment Rolls.
Carrol McCain, Anoka County Appraiser, distributed copies of responses she has written or discussed with those property owners who had appealed their valuations. She noted that no action was taken on any of the properties in question except that one located at 1213 42nd Avenue.
The property at 1213 42nd Avenue was viewed by Ms. McCain where she noted more physical depreciation than what had been previously noticed. The effective age of the home was reduced ten years thus reducing the value to $58,500. A total reduction of $4,800 was made for tax payable 1993. The owner seemed satisfied.

8.OLD BUSINESS
a.Tax Increment Administration ExpenseMotion by Clerkin, second by Ruettimannpayment of $9,835.40 for administeringincrement financing laws.
to authorize the 1991 tax
Nawrocki stated he has not seen justification nor received adequate explanation for the charges being made by Anoka County. The City Manager referred to the documents which accompanied the charges, those being the Tax Increment Billing Formula and the TIF Administrative cost sheet.
Mayor Murzyn stated he is satisfied with the documentation of the charges. Ruettimann noted he had attempted to discuss this matter with the Anoka County Manager of Property Tax Accounting and his aid, but was not successful in reaching them. He wi 11 contact the County Commissioner for Columbia Heights. He indicated he understands most of the costs.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettimann, Murzyn -aye Nawrocki -abstain
b.Hilltop Police and Rescue ContractThe City Manager advised that this contract is similar tothose of the last many years when Columbia Heights hasbeen providing police and rescue services. He noted thatthe due dates and the interest rates are clearly definedin the contract.
Ruettimann questioned the insurance coverage of Hilltopin a lawsuit situation. The City Attorney stated that thecertificate of insurance has not yet been received fromHilltop.
Clerkin inquired how much is still owed to Columbia Heights by Hilltop. The City Manager responded that there is an outstanding balance of $9,600 and the twenty-six days which have not as yet been billed.
Councilmember Peterson arrived at 7:30 p.m.
Noting the termination dates stated in the contract, Nawrocki felt July 31st and December 31st would be more appropriate dates of termination. He also felt the $300
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 4
investigative fee charged for liquor and beer license investigations is not high enough to cover new applications. Nawrocki questioned why the contract does not include requiring Hilltop to supply a certificate of insurance. He felt it should have this requirement.
It was felt that Hilltop should have coverage up to the limits of municipal immunity. Nawrocki inquired if Columbia Heights would incur additional risk because it provides these services for hire. The City Attorney stated that courts do not address this.
Nawrocki stated he does not support the arbitration clause in the contract. He also noted he had previously requested the Finance Director review Hilltop's books to ascertain if Hilltop would be capable of paying for the services. The Council has received a report which addressed the books for 1990, but has not received any information regarding 1991 to the present.
The City Manager stated he will copy the information received from the Hilltop City Attorney regarding the Columbia Heights Finance Director viewing the books for the Council.
The City Manager, noting that the present contract expires on April 30th, requested members of the Council to state what their intentions were regarding the contract.
Nawrocki felt the contract does not protect the interests of Co 1 umbi a Heigh ts. Cl erk in inquired if the con tract could be extended on a monthly basis. The City Manager felt neither city would be interested in this type of arrangement.
Nawrocki again stated his concern with not having had the 1991 books viewed as well as the current books. The Finance Director advised he had viewed Hilltop's 1992 budget and the 1990 audit report. He felt the audit was acceptable and noted that the tax levy was significantly increased for 1992. Nawrocki inquired if there were any liabilities noted in the 1991 audit. The Finance Director stated that the audit is not complete at this point in time, but is expected to be complete by June 30th.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 5
RECESS:
The 1990 tax levy for Hilltop was $125,000, 1991 tax levy was $154,000 and in 1992 the tax levy is $229,000. The Finance Director felt the increase in the 1992 tax levy reflected the City's ability to generate funds.
Discussion continued regarding the ability of Columbia Heights to collect any outstanding funds if that became necessary.
Motion by Peterson, second by Murzyn to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to sign a contract with the City of Hilltop for Police and Rescue Service through March 31, 1997.
The City Attorney was requested to review the contract taking into consideration all of the concerns expressed by members of the Council. The City Manager was requested to copy the letter received from the Hilltop City Attorney. The City Manager stated that the Hilltop City Attorney had expressed no reservations about supplying financial information to Columbia Heights.
RECONVENED: 8:00 p.m 8:20 p.m.
The City Attorney reviewed some corrections to the contract he had not iced and recommended minor changes for clarification purposes. He requested that some of the clerical i terns and some language in the contract be allowed to be clarified at his discretion .
Ruettimann observed that if anything of substance in the contract be changed it would necessitate another approval by the Hilltop City Council and services of the contract could be stopped. The City Manager felt a restraining order would be put into place which would not al low stoppage of services.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -aye Nawrocki -nay
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to direct staff to require Hilltop to furnish and to maintain policies of insurance in the continuing statutory amount showing the City of Columbia Heights loss payee and this would be

c.Other Old Business
1.Follow-up on Concerns Expressed at Board of ReviewNawrocki passed around photos he had taken of the area of45th and 46th Avenues and Tyler Street. He noted therewas considerable debris, spare tires, garbage canswithout covers and cars without license plates.
The City Manager advised that the photos previously taken by Nawrocki were sent to the Police Department with a memo.
2.Library Carpeting BidsThe deadline for bids for the carpeting project in theLibrary is May 1st.
Ruettimann inquired if there were master lists kept of firms who were to receive bid specs. The City Manager responded that these lists are kept by each department.
Nawrocki felt it would be beneficial for a central staff person to handle the mailing list for bid specs.
3.VideotapeNawrocki gave staff a videotape whose subject was a oneman paving machine and how it operates.
9.NEW BUSINESS
a.Amendment to 1990 Community Development Block GrantProgram
Motion by Clerkin, second by Peterson to approve the transfer of $2,800 of residual funds from the Puhl ic Service Pool (Metro Center for Independent Living and Anoka Job Training Center) to the Neighborhood Revitalization Project in the 1990 Anoka County Development Block Grant Program.
Roll call: All ayes
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 7
b.Authorization to Purchase a Van
The City Manager advised that staff had searched for a used van but the cost was excessive as these types of vehicles hold their value. This purchase is being made off of a State contract and the deducts were noted in the documentation.
The vehicle which will be replaced with this purchase, an old ambulance, will be taken out of service.
Motion by Ruet t imann, second by Peterson to authorize staff to purchase a 3/4 ton ful 1 size Chevy van from Polar Chevrolet under the State of Minnesota Contract #M-5226 in the amount of $11,234; and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.
Nawrocki stated he will not support the motion for the purchase. He has viewed the vehicle presently being used and feels there is still some use left in it. He noted that the maintenance is very low, there is low mileage and it is used very little. He also felt there is no shortage of vehicles in the City's fleet to move crews and staff.
The City Manager noted that the mechanic classified the old ambulance as unsafe. The Acting City Engineer stated that the dependibility of the vehicle is in question and it is rusting. She noted that this vehicle carries all of the surveying equipment and all of the supplies.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -aye Nawrocki -nay
c.Authorization to Seek Bids for M.S.A.S. Overlay Projects
The City Manager advised that this work is expected to be done in September or October.
Motion by Ruettmann, second by Peterson to authorize staff to seek bids for the M.S.A.S. overlay work as listed in the Council Agenda Letter dated April 20, 1992.
Nawrocki inquired when these streets has last been sealcoated. He was advised it was in 1987 and 1988.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 8
d.
e.
Nawrocki stated he had driven all of the streets being considered for an overlay. He feels that an overlay is not justified on the streets and that a sealcoat with normal patching would be sufficient.
The Acting City Engineer observed that structurally the streets are acceptable but that sealcoating would not improve crowning problems nor rideability.
Ruettimann stated he had also driven the streets and felt they were in terrible condition. He noted that the funds are in place to pay for an overlay and if these funds are not used this year, the City's allocation of State Aid funds would be reduced in corning years.
Peterson recalled how many streets have not been approved for repair early enough and ultimately needed considerable costly major reconstruction.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettirnann, Peterson, Murzyn -aye Nawrocki -nay
Insurance Coverage From May 9, 1992 -May 9, 1993
The Finance Director compared the costs and coverage of this proposal to that of the self-insured costs and coverage.
Motion by Peterson, second by Ruettirnann to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with American Agency for insurance coverage as quoted in their proposal with USF&G and other companies. The coverage will be the same as the City had in 1991/1992 at a cost of $133,864.40. Roll call: All ayes
Final Payment for MSC Floor
Motion by Clerkin, second by Peterson to accept the work for Municipal Project #9110 and to approve final payment of $22,887.27 to Pro Maintenance, Inc. of Hutchinson, Mn.
Ruettirnann inquired if the contractor had recommended any precautions which could be taken to avoid problems with the deterioration of the floor. The Acting City Engineer responded that keeping the floor clean would protect it.
Roll call: All ayes
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 9
10.REPORTS
a.Report of the City Manager
The City Manager's report was submitted in written form and the following items were discussed:
Water Problems Bill Burns, the Fridley City Manager, contacted Stu Anderson regarding finding solutions to the water problems being experienced on the border of the two cities. Both City Councils had met previously to discuss this situation.
Burns recommended a location for a holding pond all of which was in Columbia Heights. Anderson, noting that there is relatively little land left to develop in Columbia Heights, suggested that two specific parcels in Fridley and one parcel in Columbia Heights would be sufficient land on which to place a holding pond.
Ruettimann had concerns with using undeveloped parcels for the holding pond. He felt buying the properties/homes which are experiencing water problems should be considered. The Mayor felt buying these homes may not be so simple.
Nawrocki observed that Fridley representatives had mentioned five or six homes were having problems and he thought there was only one or two. He suggested floodproofing by building up the homes, eliminating walkouts and basement installations may solve the problems.
AMM Bulletin Members of the Council received copies of the most recent AMM Bulletin.
Joint Work Session A joint work session with the HRA was scheduled for April 30, 1992 at 8:00 p.m. The agenda will be to review Tax Increment Finance District issues.
Ruettimann requested members of the Council receive any HRA or staff recommendations before the work session.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 27, 1992 PAGE 10

He noted that an hour has been allotted to meet with representatives of Honeywell and was concerned that sufficient time be left to discuss cable television matters.
Nawrocki also stated that the material received from Ruettimann, which addressed procedures employed by Minneapolis regarding safe rental license procedures, be discussed as soon as possible.

The City Attorney had nothing to report at this time.

AGENDA SECTION: Resolutions/Ordinances ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 6 Planning & Zoning APPROVAL
ITEM: Zoning Ordinance Amendment BY: Evelyn Nygaard.J,u,.._. BY: �4Ar NO: Retail Business Section 6.A.DATE: May 7, 1992 ½ ---8--1 1),/'
In response to a request to the Planning and Zoning Commission by Tires Plus
consideration was given amending Ordinance 853 to allow tire and battery sales and service in the RB, Retail Business, District, specifically at 5126 Central Avenue. This is the site of the former Skippers Restaurant.
At present, tire and battery sales and service is an allowed use in the General Business District only. Tire and battery sales and service, as a part of a motor
fuel station, is presently an allowed use in the RB District. Kelly Ruth of the City Attorney's office indicated that we could not consider Tires Plus as a motor fuel station and suggested that the Zoning Ordinance could be amended to add this usage by Conditional Use Permit in the Retail Business District. Kelly Ruth drafted Ordinance 1242, amending Ordinance 853, which includes tire and battery sales and
service as a Conditional Use in the Retail Business District under Section
9.113(2)(c). At the same time, she corrected an existing error in the same section (see attached proposed Ordinance).
This request was presented to the May 5, 1992 Planning and Zoning Commission for review and opinion. The Commission unanimously recommend that the City Council
approve the amendment.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Moved to waive the reading of Ordinance 1242 there being ample copies available to
the public.

Moved to schedule a second reading of Ordinance #1242, permitting Tire and Battery
Sales and Service in "RB" Districts and Correcting Errors In Format, for May 26, 1992.

Dear Kathy,
I am sending this in regard to our conversation of today about the roof top balloon for our Cost Cutters Salon at 4110 CEntral A., NE. When we relocated across the street we did not have a light sign on the building right away. We called to get permission to hang a banner and the communicator with the city offices got very jumbled with our people as to what they could and could not do. Our banner was physically taken down by Eveline Neygaard. We than hung a sign in our window. We have been advertising heavily to let our clients now about our new location.
We do want to abide by your rules and regulations. At this time we would like to request permission to put up a roof top balloon on our salon from May 19-May 23, 1992. We feel this type of advertising will help our traffic flow dramatically.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

A.SOUTH ENTRANCE ONTO 51ST COURT
Discussion continued on the plan to change the street layout at 51st Court. Mr. Manning, owner of Denny's Restaurant, was present at the meeting. He indicated that the problem of cars and trucks turning around in his parking lot will never be resolved unless the median is removed from the "S" curve onto Central Ave. He is obtaining an estimate this week as to what it would cost him to have it removed.
Staff searched past records to find that the median was put in 1982. No mention was made as to why it was put in. Mr. Clerkin wondered if Dunkin Donuts would object to the median being removed. Mr. Manning indicated he had spoken with the owner and he approved of removing the median if there would be no cost to him. It was suggested that this be in writing.
Discussion centered on how the removal of the median would affect traffic in the area. Captain Olson indicated he felt it wasn't a good idea to remove the median as it would open up the one-way street to a two-way street traffic pattern. He suggested that if Mr. Manning would be willing to pay for the removal of the median, that maybe he would instead be willing to pay for the one-way to be made a two-way. It would definitely be much safer to be able to go to 50th and get onto Central at the light then attempt to cross Central at 51st Court. It is becoming a very dangerous

intersection. He suggested that maybe businesses would be willing to share in some cost to make it a two-way street. It certainly enhance businesses in that area.
other of the would
It was suggested that an informal meeting be held to find out whether other businesses in the area would be willing to share in the remaining cost once it is known what Mr. Manning is willing to contribute in making the street a two-way. Staff suggested that Mr. Manning be contacted first to see what his feelings are on holding an informal meeting to discuss plans and costs to make the change to a two-way street. If he agrees, staff will proceed to contact other businesses and invite them to an informal meeting. In the meantime, staff will develop costs for making the street a two-way.
Mr. Manning is planning to return to the June 1 Traffic Commission Meeting to discuss the costs for removal of the median.

Columbia Heights Park Commission 530 Mill St. N.E. Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Dear Sirs,
5-/-;
April 10, 1992
I was into your office on April 1 and reserved the use of the Sullivan Lake Park for August 15, 1992. Since I am a life-long resident of Columbia Heights and the granddaughter of William Sullivan who owned and farmed 80 acres around Sullivan Lake, I felt it was my responsibility to ask permission to hive the use of this park for a Sullivan Family Reunion to be held on this day. It will be a double celebration as it is the 70th birthday of my oldest brother William Sullivan who was the first grandchild to be born to the elder William Sullivan.
We are asking the Park Commission to allow us to have 3.2 beer at our picnic on that day. Since there will be 65 to 75 people present which about 35 will be 4th generation descendents of William Sullivan Sr., only a small percentage will be of age to consume beer. Many of those elgible to drink choose not to do so, so therefore, it will not become a problem for anyone.
I would appreciate your response as soon as possible so we can proceed with our plans. Thank you.

ITEM: ADVERTISING AT TOP VALU BY: WILLIAM ELRITE/ iJil;,.I �BY:9u/t '
NO: 9.8. PHIL SUCKERMAN <1,,, ,__ DATE: MAY 4, 1992 5-
To ensure and enhance the profitability of the City's liquor operation, it is necessary to run periodic advertisements. These advertisements are designed to create a higher volume of sales and profit.
Since the opening of Top Valu in 1984, the City has run several advertisements around traditional
holidays. In addition to this, an advertisement ran for several weeks during the summers of 1987
through 1991 in the Twin Cities Reader promoting the 10:00 p.m. closing. This was very successful
and has substantially increased the volume of business between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m.
Staff is proposing to run a similar advertisement in the Twin Cities Reader during the summer of 1992. The advertisement would run eight (8) times during the summer. The total cost would be
$3,360.
The alternative to advertising in the Twin Cities Reader is to advertise in the Tribune or other
media. For this type of ad campaign, the Reader has been successful in the past. It is far less expensive than the Tribune or other media and reaches a wide range of consumers. The goal is to reach customers outside of the normal business area.
It is staff's recommendation to run an advertising campaign in the Twin Cities Reader. Eight ads
will be run during the summer. The Twin Cities Reader is published weekly.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an
agreement with the Twin Cities Reader for eight advertisements of liquor store merchandise and
hours, at a cost not to exceed $3,360.

Re: Contracting Cities for Hotel/Motel Inspections
Dear Chief Kewatt:
We are sta rting the process of renewal of the contract for your city to inspect the hotels/motels in your jurisdiction. Enclosed is the contract for you to have signed by the appropriate person and returned to us as soon as possible.
The terms of the contract requires the State to tri-annually review the contractor's program to determine its continued compliance with the agreement. Tri-annual review criteria includes code interpretation, enforcement procedure, inspection results and frequency, record completeness and staff training. In the near future the State inspector in your area will be contacting you, at which time he will review your program and make at least two site visits of hotels/motels in your area to determine that code enforcement is consistent throughout the state. In addition, we need copies of your inspections to be placed on permanent record at our headquarters office.
Due to budget constraints, the 40-hour refresher course cannot be offered under the same reimbursement conditions provided in the past. We are, however, presenting classes after the adoption of the 1991 MN Uniform Fire Code. We would provide the training, but the students would be responsible for their own travel, meal and lodging expenses.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,

On April 13, 1992, Council authorized staff to seek written quotations to purchase three (3) hydrants for maintenance replacements. Waterous WB-59 Hydrants were specified. It is important for the City to keep the same type of hydrant throughout the City for consistency in operation, maintenance and parts. Three written quote_s were received. Goodin Company submitted a quote for a different type of hydrant. This disqualifies Goodin Company as a responsible bidder. The remaining two quotes are shown below:

Staff budgeted $4,000 for the hydrants in fund 601-49430-2160. Staff recommends awarding the purchase to Water Products Company of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, based on their low responsible quote.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize Staff to purchase three Waterous WB-59 hydrants from Water Products Company of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, for a total cost of $3,132; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

In January, 1992, Officer Janacek resigned to take an appointment as an investigator with the Attorney General's Office. Since that time, a budgeted position has remained unfilled. The delay in filling this position centered around Resolution 92-09, which mandated some budget cuts. After discussions, there appears to be strong interest to fill that position at this time. The estimated cost for the balance of the year beginning June 1, 1992, would be $20,637. This number includes the fringes.

ITEM: FIRE DEPARTMENT BREATHING AIR SYSTEM BY: S. W. ANDERSON Btnl, NO: q.z. DA TE: 05/08/92
On April 30, 1992, I sent to the Mayor and Council a memo outlining the background and need
to replace our air compressor system for providing compressed air to the breathing apparatus for
individual firefighters. A copy of that memo is attached.
Since that memo was out, there has been a minor adjustment in the dollar totals which were
previously provided. The Fire Chief reports the cost of his system as follows:
Compressor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 9,038
2 Floor Tanks & Attachments . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,585

The Columbia Heights Boosters have already provided a check for $6,500 dollars toward this
purchase.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to purchase from
Bauer Compressors, Inc. of Minneapolis a high pressure breathing air system for the Fire
Department in the amount of $12,748; $6,500 to come from a donation from the Columbia Heights
Boosters, balance to come from the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund.

FIRE DEPARTMENT GEAR TANK SYSTEM
APRIL 30, 1992
This memo is a follow up to the discussion at the Work Session of April 28, 1992. In 1979, Columbia
Heights entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with Fridley and the Blaine/Mounds View/Spring Lake
Park Fire Department to purchase an air compressor system to fill tanks that firefighters use as part
of their self-contained breathing apparatus. The system cost was approximately $19,000 of which
Columbia Heights paid approximately $6,000.
The system works like this. The compressor is located at the Fridley Fire Department where large
tanks are filled. Columbia Heights has 13 of these large tanks, each weighing over 100 pounds.
Columbia Heights has 10 tanks in the station and 3 tanks in the Civil Defense Rescue Truck. These
large tanks start with approximately 2,200 pounds of pressure and each time an individual firefighter
tank is filled, the pressure in the large tank falls somewhat. The ten station tanks are generally in
various stages of pressure. The large tanks go down to approximately 1,300 pounds of pressure and
they are then taken back to Fridley for refilling. Normally, a trip is made to Fridley each week, but
there is no way to predict demand. The most important factor to remember is that a tank at 2,200
pounds of pressure will last a firefighter approximately 30 minutes. However, is the tank is only filled
to 1,600 or 1,800 pounds, there is naturally fewer minutes of breathing. The result is the firefighteT
must leave the building or hazardous area sooner.
The present system is tested annually for quality of air it produces. The most recent test found there
were small amounts of oil that were getting into the air and the percent of carbon dioxide was ex
ceeding standards. A temporary repair was made to the compressor at the Fridley Fire Station to keep
the system working and to provide an acceptable quality of air. The life expectancy of the compressor
as repaired is not known. All three departments are looking for ways to fund the replacement as part
of their 1993 budgets.
Chief Kewatt has requested a system for Columbia Heights only. In addition to having a new system
on site, it would eliminate the frequent moving of the present large tanks to Fridley for refilling. The
risk of back injury is ongoing as we move these heavy tanks frequently. A new Columbia Heights'
system would cost:
Compressor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $9,038
Two Floor Tanks and Hose ........................... $2,105
Extra Tanks for Truck . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $1,855
Total Cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $12,998
This proposed system would compress air to approximately 4,500 pounds compared to the present 2,200
pound system. The present tanks the individual firefighters wear would only be filled to 2,200 pounds.
This breathing apparatus is scheduled for replacement in 1996. At that time, we will be recommending
high pressure units to be purchased as replacements for the existing units. The result is that a
firefighter would have approximately 60 minutes of air rather than the 30 minutes a full tank would
now hold.
Mayor and Council
Page 2
April 30, 1992
Chief Kewatt requested funding from the Boosters. Mr. Ruettimann reports the Boosters are willing
to give $6,500 if matching funds are provided by the City or donated from another source. At this
time, no money is budgeted. It would make good sense to purchase and install a system before the
present equipment fails again. Staff will take no action pending direction from the Council. If you
have questions, please contact me.

Royce Place Easement ..
As you know, by memo dated April 24, 1992, I advised you that the driveway constructed for Royce Place was placed approximately 7 to 10 feet west of the easement and is therefore an encroachment on City property. Bob Rydland, attorney for Royce Place, has recently contacted me again to determine the position the City intends to take on this matter.
Please advise me as to whether the City wants to require the old easement to be vacated and a new easement granted or whether the City is willing to simply extend the easement to accommodate the actual driveway.

RE: Royce Place Easement
Attached hereto please find a memo I received from Bob Rydland regarding the above-referenced matter. Also attached are the surveys referenced in his memo and a copy of the legal description of the easement which was granted to Royce Place.
You will note that the driveway constructed for Royce Place was evidently placed approximately 7 to 10 feet west of the easement and is therefore an encroachment on city property. As you can see from their memo, they are requesting that we extend their easement to the west approximately 7 to 10 feet so that the actual driveway remains within the easement.
Although this may be the easiest way to handle this situation for Royce Place, I would recommend that we extinguish the current easement and grant a new easement specifically describing the actual driveway.
After you have had an opportunity to review this matter, kindly advise me as to how you would like to proceed.

Attached to this fax please find two copies of the relevant portion of the as-built survey for Royce Place. You will note the driveway, which was built across city property, is offset approximately 7 to 10 feet to the west. I would appreciate any thoughts you may have as to the easiest way to correct this discrepancy. The obvious and easiest -resolution would be to simply expand the easement to the west so that the actual driveway remains w.ithin the easement. This would also significantly simplify the r,edrafting of the legal description of the easement.
1 look forward to hearing any thoughts you or the city manager may have.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FRO�f\._STUART W. ANDERSON, CITY MANAGER
SUBJ v -:.NAGER'S REPORT DATE: MAYS, 1992
1)OPERATIONAL REPORTS FOR APRIL20 -MAY3, 1992--
/0. ft.
Attached are operational reports from various Division Heads indicating the significant items undertaken or accomplished for the above reporting period. I trust you will find the reports to be informational and beneficial with regard to major undertakings occurring within the divisions in this past reporting period.
For the past few years, departments have been submitting operational reports to be included with the City Manager's Report every Council meeting. I think it would be more beneficial and in some areas easier to monitor data if these reports were made on a monthly basis. Unless I bear objection from the Council, this will begin on July 13th Council meeting with a report for the month of June.
2)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS--
During the month of April, staff utilized the hours of community service workers as indicated below: Administration/City Hall... 29:40 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey Fire...................................... 49:15 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey 78:55 hours -Total
3)SALVATION ARMY--
Attached for your information is a letter which the Salvation Army sent to the Rice Creek Watershed District alleging that cities within the district have unlawfully placed surface water onto their property and caused damage. I have forwarded a copy to the City Attorney and to the Finance Director for information. I do not believe Columbia Heights is a party to this problem. I will advise you of any new information on the subject.
4)TYLER STREET FOLLOW UP--At a previous Council meeting, attention was brought to some problems on Tyler Street associated with rubbish. Attached for your review is the memo I sent to the Chief of Police requesting action and his response. Also, for your information, the unlicensed property posting signs which had been on the buildings at 4616 and 4622 Tyler have been removed. The new owner has applied for a license and appears to be cooperating with the Inspections Department. The work orders were for minor items.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 2
May 8, 1992
5)MEMORIAL DAY--
Memorial Day will be celebrated on Monday, May 25, 1992, this year so the next regular Council meeting
will be on Tuesday, May 26, 1992.
6)ALLEY CONSTRUCTION--
Last year after substantial discussion, a repair job was done on the alley between 52nd A venue and 53rd
A venue and between Fourth Street and Fifth Street. One of the adjoining home owners has complained
about some problems in that project. I and Public Works staff have been out there to inspect it. In my
view, the alley held up much better than we had anticipated. There is a small portion in the center of
the alley which requires some patching; small meaning perhaps one foot by five feet. In addition, some
modest adjustment needs to be made where the apron meets the alley. These will be followed up on.
7)WATER TF.STING--
On my City Manager's Report for the Council meeting of April 27, 1992, I reported on the fact that the
State was now going to charge us $5.21 per water connection to handle the testing of water samples for
lead and copper residue. I erroneously reported that we were required to do sixty tests every month for
the last half of the year. I correct that to a total of sixty tests for the six months. The result is that the
State's fee estimated to be approximately $36,000 is even more outrageous than even previously reported.
8)PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL ON IIlGHWAY 47--
I previously reported that MnDOT was advising us that the pedestrian signal at 51st A venue NE and
Highway 47 no longer met the warrants and will be removed as part of a signalization project. Mr.
Nawrocki believed that the warrant for the signal involved a bus stop and pedestrian traffic to get from
the west side of the highway to the commercial a reason the east side. Fridley and Columbia Heights have
both searched their files in this original project. All records in both cities indicate that the school
children crossing Highway 47 was the sole reason for the pedestrian signal. Further pedestrian counts
have been done at that location and the counts are extremely modest and will not warrant continuation
of the signal. MnDOT intends to remove it.
9)PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL AT STINSON BOULEVARD--
For some years, we have been attempting to work with the City of St. Anthony to establish a pedestrian
signal at or near 39th and Stinson. In the process of working out an agreement with the City of St.
Anthony, the State Aid rules were changed for both the requirement and the funding. I'd advised you
that under the State rules for using State Aid money, we would not be able to install the signal. There
is, however, an appeal process, and I have instructed the Acting City Engineer to present our case and
attempt to secure funding for the project.
10)SHARED RIDE--
Staff previously advised you that at the current rate which money was being used in the Shared Ride
Program, we would run out of funding before the end of the year. Linda Magee has written to the
Regional Transit Board requesting additional funding and a copy of that letter was previously provided.
Also, for your information, we have put Fridley on notice that there may be a request for funding from
their city and they should consider that at the time of their budgeting.

11)METROPOLITAN COUNCIL--
Attached is a memo from the Metropolitan Council explaining their efforts to understand the new Federal
law dealing with transportation issues. MnDOT indicated that there will be a workshop later, but as of
this time, we have not received the date. If you have questions on this item, please contact me. The
Metropolitan Council's letter is attached.
12)UNITED WAY --
Over the past months, there has been some negative publicity about the expenditure of money by the
National Coordinating Office for United Way. Th.e Minneapolis United Way has aggressively resisted any
additional funding to go to that organization until major changes were made in the way they handled the
money. The letter from the United Way, which is attached, is self-explanatory and is important
information as we try to maintain the high status that the local office of the United Way has always
maintained.
United Way is also involved in a program of holding community meetings so that they can get grass roots
impact on how United Way money should be spent and to try to get a dialogue started with the various
areas of the metropolitan area which they serve. Jo-Anne Student received an invite to host such a
meeting and I am looking for feedback from the City Council as to whether they would be interested in
hosting such a meeting. Additional written material is available. Please see Jo-Anne or me if you have
an interest in reading it.
13)HOSPITALIZATION FOR RETIRED PERSONS--
The State of Minnesota recently passed a law which mandates that we allow persons to remain in our
hospitalization group until they are age 65 if they retire and are eligible to receive an immediate
retirement annuity. It appears that the first chance our employees may have to participate in this is when
the next contract period begins for hospitalization. This topic will be discussed at the Anoka County
hospitalization group within a week or two. I will provide additional information as it becomes available
to us.
14)PARKING RAMP ASSESSMENT--
Previously, Columbia Heights HRA received an opinion from an attorney indicating that the parking
ramp assessment from the Columbia Park Clinic could be treated as general revenue. This amounts to
$95,365 a year. Based on that previous legal opinion, Mr. Bocwinski included that as revenue for the
General Fund. That has remained in place through the 1992 budget. Based on a new letter from the
attorney dated April 30, 1992, we can no longer place that in the General Fund, but only use the money
in a limited way. A copy of that letter is attached. This will have an impact as we investigate our various
revenues for funding the 1993 General Fund.

I.Events/ Accomplishments
A.As was reported in our last report, our police Explorer Post attendedthe annual Breezy Point conference. They did very well in placingsecond in crime scene search. There were 107 competitive teams at the
conference and more than 520 total participants. I went up to BreezyPoint on Saturday and Sunday and got a chance to see the Scouts inaction and attend the banquet. They did a very good job and I am very
proud of them, as you should be.
B.We got our budget done and subnitted. I had the help of variousmembers of the department in achieving this task. They all were very
helpful and I felt that they learned quite a lot in the process.
C.As you may know, we are planning to implement a community based foot
patrol in patrol grid #8 ( the area behind McDonald's Restaurant) . Thepurpose of this project is to work with area residents in a cooperativeeffort to solve problems in that area of the city. This is thebeginning of a community based problem solving philosophy of policing
that I am committed to bring to Columbia Heights. Officer Val Dietzhas been selected to be the foot patrol officer. Val, Captain Olson,and I visited Precinct #5 of the Minneapolis Police Department lastThursday to learn about their foot patrol program. Val will betraining with their officers for the next few days before he starts his
new duties with us.
II.Projects/Goals
A.With the initial budget process behind us, work will begin in thefollowing areas:
1.Strategic planning for the department.
2.Policy review and rewrite.
3.Search for creative ways to get more for less.
4.Implementing our new commtmity based policing philosophy.
These are not small projects; full completion of all of them will
take several years.

On April 23, 1992, I had the opportunity to attend the Municipals Spring Banquet. The banquet: was hosted by the City of Lakeville at International Market Square. A business meeting was held with the election of officers. There were 417 members present. The guest speaker was Police Chief, l>on Gudmundson. The subject of his talk was "Caring, sharing, communicating: breaking the silence." He was very articulate and pleasant to listen to. -He spoke about violence against women and children. Mr. Gudmundson highlighted the fact that each one of us can do somethins by commiting a single act of kindness toward our fellow man. Ivery much appreciate the opportunity to attend this function.

FINANCE DIRECTOR
RE: OPERATIONAL REPORT
APRIL 20 -MAY 3, 1992
DEPARTMENTAL GOALS:
1991 AUDIT
It is hopeful that a preliminary Annual Financial Report will be available for distribution
in approximately two weeks. The final audit report will follow that. At the present time,
the only information lacking for the audit is the Paid Fire Relief Association's Annual
Actuarial. Once this is received, the auditors can complete the audit report.
1993 BUDGET CALENDAR
All budgets are due in the Finance Department on May 4th. At this time it appears that
everything is going well in the budget preparation schedule.
ISSUES AND PROBLEMS:
TELEEHO.NE EROBLEMS·
For approximately five weeks, U.S. West has been working with me to try to resolve the
problems with the City's telephone system. The problem appears to be in the main
switch. After spending an extensive amount of time testing this and tracing lost calls,
U.S. West has pretty much eliminated everything on their end. I will now be attempting
to work with Taylor Telephone Systems, the low bidder on the installation of the City's
telephone system. Hopefully, they will be able to correct the problem in the switch.
STAFF VACANCIES
The City receptionist, Karen Gerhardson, was promoted to the Utility Accounting Clerk
I position. This has left a vacancy in the receptionist position. It is hopeful that this will
be filled in the near future.

This letter is to place the Rice Creek. Watershed District on notice that The Salvation Army will
look to them for compensation for past and current damages and for compensation for repair of damage
to its properties due to the failure to manage and control surface water discharge. The Salvation Army
will also seek compensation for the taking of its lands for a flowage easement to allow the storage of
surface waters.
•
It is the duty of the District to control and prevent uman development by private developers and
the installation of Storm Sewers by the county and municipalities which would collect and discharge
surface waters in unreasonable quantities onto the Salvation Army property.
It is time for the governmental units and private developers who have used our property as a free
dumping ground to pay for existing damage and lands lost for storage of surface water.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Dear Jim:
April 30, 1992
Attached are the Shared Ride origination-destination statistics for January 1, 1992 -December 31, 1992 and the financial statistics. As you can see, ridership (along with costs) have increased significantly over the same period last year.
The increase in ridership and corresponding increase in costs prompted me to write a letter to the Regional Transit Board (see attached) requesting additional funding for 1992. As you can see, if the first three months of 1992 are indicative of things to come, the program will be short $31,975.24.
The purpose of this letter is twofold. First, to advise you of the potential· funding difficulties. Secondly, to request you consider as part of your 1992 budget amendments and 1993 budget, allocating funding to help offset the anticipated shortfall.
We will be aggressively exploring options to deal with the anticipated shortfall. Options to consider include requesting additional funding from the RTB (request has been made), increasing fares, modifying level of service, etc.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I will keep you apprised of the situatio

In late 1991 the federal government passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act
(ISTEA). This Act addresses laws and funding related to all surface modes of travel, emphasizing
the relationship between transportr.&:ion, l&nd use, and. the cmircilment.
The Metropolitan Council and its Transportation Advisory Board are working to understand the new
legislation, and make the necessary changes to regional processes and plans to respond appropriately.
The Act changes the role of the Council in planning and allocating resources for the region. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is playing a key role in !STEA-related activities
in the state and in the region.
This letter is intended to inform local units of government in this region of our active involvement
in interpreting the Act and getting ready for the coming changes. We also want to provide you with
an opportunity to learn more about the Act.
Mn/DOT will hold a North Star Workshop in late May to help explain the Act and to solicit opinions
as to how provisions of the Act should be implemented. The Metro Council and the TAB have been
invited to be participants in the workshop along with 150 other representatives of units of
government, agencies and the private sector from throughout the state.
A summary of the Act can be obtained by writing or calling Jan Martin at the Metro Council at 291-
6308. A summary of the North Star Workshop should be available this summer and can also be
obtained by writing or calling Jan Martin. The Council and the TAB anticipate holding an
informational meeting or forum in late summer, or early fall, at which time additional materials will
be available.
You will be on our mailing list to receive materials about ISTEA requirements for the region. If you
know of individuals, groups, or units of government that may want to be placed on the mailing list,
please have them notify Jan Martin at 291-6308.

Dear Mr. Anderston:
MANAGER
CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
I want to make sure you are aware of some decisions made recently by
volunteers serving on the board of the United Way of Minneapolis Area and to
ask your help in communicating some important messages to your employees.
As a supporter of our local United Way, you are probably well aware that we
are governed by Twin Cities volunteers who not only set policy and direction for
the organix.ation but also raise funds, monitor the effectiveness of health and
human service programs, assess community needs, lead community initiatives
and distribute contributors' dollars effectively and efficiently. While we are not
a chapter or branch of a national organix.ation, we are affiliated with United Way
of America which functions as a trade association for the 2100 independent
United Ways across the country.
Last week our board voted unanimously to take a leadership role in what we
believe will be a dramatic restructuring of United Way of America.
We did this for two reasons:
First, we believe the independent investigation into recent allegations was
thorough and complete. United Way of America has already begun
implementing 42 major recommendations to safeguard against future
mismanagement. These corrective actions re-establish financial controls and
clearly define who is responsible for accountability. They demand an audit-and
control of separate organizations that were spun off in recent years and vigorous
pursuit to recover any misappropriated funds. And, they amend the by-laws to
include local United Way representation on United Way of America's board of
governors.
Secondly, Minneapolis has long been a leader among United Ways and should
continue a leadership role in shaping the new national organix.ation. We believe
the valuable services we.,receive from United Way of America have not been
diminished by the wrongful actions of a few people. To continue these important
services it seems most prudent and cost-effective to build on the existing
infrastructure. Through our leadership we will craft a trade association that is
even more responsive to our local needs.
It brings out the best in all of us.
Page 2
As a result, our ro-member board voted to host a meeting of local United Ways to
incorporate our values and substantive direction into the new scope and mission of United
Way of America. In addition, we voted to commit $200,000 for 1992 .. .less than one-half
cent of each dollar raised ... in support of special services we now receive from United Way
of America. Our future level of support will be based on their continued progress in
implementing the recommendations and incorporating local direction into the restructuring
efforts.
I also want to take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to you and the community
that we will ensure that the; maxirnt1m amount.of mo�ey is �vwab!� for. ��c-e!! �.-09.r
community. While the Minnesota Charities Review Council recommends a 30 percent cap
on fund-raising and administrative costs, we keep ours below 10 percent. That always has
and will continue to include any payments to United Way of America.
We believe it is important to communicate directly with people the positive changes at
United Way of America and our response. And, we want to reaf'rum our commitment
to be responsible and effective with contributor's dollars. To do so, we need your help.
Attached is a letter intended for all employees in your orpnization. A copy has also
been sent to your United Way campaign coordinator. We ask your support in copying
the enclosed letter and distributing it to every employee.
The generous support that you and your employees give to United Way of Minneapolis Area
ensures that high quality health and human service programs are available for hundreds of
thousands of people in need each year. We greatly value your trust and confidence in our
local United Way. I want to assure you that we continue to work hard at our mission to help
all people in our community be healthy, safe, self-sufficient and able to participate in making
this a good place to live and work.
Thar..k you for your assistance in this project and ccntL.,uir.g support. If you have any
questions, please call 343-6094.

Dear Friend:
Many of us and our families have been touched by United Way funded programs at
some time. It may have been a youth program at the neighborhood Y, a cancer
support group, counseling for a troubled teen, child care, or meals on wheels for an
elderly relative. These are the ways we know United Way best.
But, I want to take this opportunity to tell you about a few other ways the United Way
of Minneapolis Area works to help people in our community.
Our United Way is an independent, local organization founded and
governed by local volunteers with one main goal -to help people
with their health and human care needs in Anoka, Carver, Dakota,
The Minneapolis United Way has long been regarded as a dynamic and innovative
organiz.ation --a leader across the country. For example:
•Each year our United Way involves thousands of local people --people like
you --to identify those problems that are the most severe and destructive to
people in our community.
•At the same time, hundreds of volunteers carefully review the performance of
nearly 400 local programs. Their review guarantees contributed dollars are
producing results -results that prevent or solve people's problems.
This volunteer review system is so successful that other United Ways have adopted it.
And, our Minneapolis United Way is also an important leader in other areas:
Success by 6�, our early childhood development effort working in partnership
with business, government, education, labor and non-profit agencies, is now a
model for 50 cities across the country. In March, we were recognized for
conuri.lr.ity-v;id� achi;;.v·��:. • ..:.,,� .:.:.1 �u��s bj G wiG1 a 11a.i.lu,i.cJ awcu.d.
Another way the Minneapolis United Way leads is in efficiency. We make sure the
maximum amount of money is available for services in our community. Thanks to
thousands of dedicated volunteers and the good management of our United Way, we
are able to maintain extremely low fund-raising and administrative costs.
The Minnesota Charities Review Council recommends a
30 percent cap on fund-raising and administrative costs.
Ours are below 10 percent.
While our United Way mission is to help people in our five-county area, we believe
there is great collective value to be gained for us locally when 2100 independent United
Ways across the country are working on common issues. During the past month or so,
you may have heard or read some disturbing or confusing stories about United Way of
America which functions as a trade association for independent United Ways across the
It brings out the best in all of us.
country. Although the Minneapolis United Way is independent, and not a branch of United Way of
America, we were deeply concerned and upset by what occurred. We immediately acted to withhold
any 1992 payments until we had assurance of no further mismanagement.
In early April, a report done by an independent law firm documented a thorough and complete
investigation into United Way of America. The charges of financial mismanagement centered around the
actions of two people, both of whom have been removed. Based on 42 recommendations in the report,
United Way of America acted quickly to make major changes. These corrective actions re-establish
financial controls and clearly define who is accountable. Locally, our United Way has for many years
had strong financial controls to safeguard against the type of mismanagement that unfortunately occurred
at United Way of America. The report also demands control of organiz.ations spun off in recent years,
and changes in the by-laws to assure significant participation by local United Ways.
We believe the value of an association for us and 2100 local United Ways has not been lessened by the
wrongful action� of ,i few poopJe, Amnog Mme nf th� se!"'!ice!:l \1:'� rl;'!',.,ejve �"� thi:-e,r��,0�10n of Sm•re��
by 6 nationwide, national research and millions of dollars in national advertising. Our volunteers believe
it is essential that we in Minneapolis lead the effort to shape the new national association. Our 60-
member volunteer board will give substantial direction to United Way of America to ensure our views
and values are incorporated into the restructured organiz.ation.
As a part of our leadership, we will host a regional meeting of local United Ways, and we are
committing $200,000 for the special services we receive from United Way of America. This is less than
half the amount we planned to pay for 1992, and is included in our 10 percent fund-raising and
administrative costs. Any future level of support will be based how United Way of America better
serves us.
Most importantly t recent events have not stopped us from carrying out our mimon to help people
in our community. Each day thousands of people depend on the services provided by United Way
and its agencies to help them with critical problenu.
Those services are only possible because of our contributors. We thank you for your support. Because
of the generosity of people like you, hundreds of thousands of Twin Citians are helped each year to
become more self-sufficient, healthier, safer and more productive.
If you have not given to United Way, I encourage you to take a closer look at us this year. Ask about
the volunteer work that thousands of your neighbors -and co-workers do. Their efforts guarantee that
contributed dollars go to hard-working, successful programs that help people when they need it most.
We greatly value your trust and confidence in the Minneapolis United Way. I want to assure you that
we will continue to work hard to earn your trust. If you would like any additional information, please
feel free to call us at 343-6094.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Dayton

Dear Ms. Student:
Enclosed is a brochure describing the United Way's Community Concerns
meetings. We invite the City of Columbia Heights to co-sponsor a
Community Concerns meeting with United Way. These meetings put us in
touch with the day-to-day concerns of community residents. We obtain
information from a diverse cross-section of the community.
Also enclosed is a copy of "United Way Listens To The Community", a
report on our experience with the 1990 pilot of this project, and a sample
flier advertising a recent meeting, our meeting script and an exit survey.
Each meeting runs for an hour or an hour and a half. No matter how many
people attend, participants meet in small groups of no more than 15
persons to discuss community issues which concern them. If times allows,
groups also suggest how they want identified issues addressed.
Trained volunteers facilitate the meetings and record notes of the
discussion. At the meeting's end, participants complete exit surveys to
record demographic information and the three community issues most
important to them.
We found that people who attended these meetings last year were pleased
to have an opportunity to inform United Way of their concerns and interests
about the community.
If you are interested in co-sponsoring a Community Concerns meeting,
please contact me at 340-7 429 to confirm arrangements. We look forward
to working with you!

RE: Columbia Park Clinic Parking Ramp Special Assessments
Dear Don:
By letter dated April 23, 1992, you have requested our written opinion with respect to certain aspects of the special assessments levied against Columbia Park Clinic in connection with the Columbia Park Clinic parking ramp. The City receives $95,365 annually through 2002, from special assessments originally assessed for the purpose of repaying the cost of the construction of the parking ramp. The parking ramp was . constructed by the City under authority of Minnesota Statutes, Section 459 .14 and, in accordance with Subdivision 2 thereof, was financed by the levying of special assessments against benefitted property in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 429 of Minnesota Statutes. Because the parking ramp is located in the Downtown CBD Development Project Area of the City, the HRA of the City was authorized under the provisions of the Tax Increment Aet to apply tax increments and tax increment bond proceeds to the payment of public redevelopment costs, which include in this case the construction of a public parking �P. Therefore, the cost of the parking--ramp ·collii-tru�tion··was pttid ·pdwarily· out· of proceeds of th� City's $2,100,000 General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds of 1985, Series A.
You have asked certain specific questions. You have asked us to affirm that the special assessments are not specifically pledged toward payment of the general obligation bonds. I have reviewed Authorizing Resolution No. 85-42 adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights on September 9, 1985, pursuant to which the Council provided for the security for the general obligation bonds. The special assessments were not pledged as security to the general obligation bonds.
You have asked us to state that the special assessment proceeds may be used for general City purposes. I would modify this statement as follows: The special assessments may be used for any purpose fo� which tax increment or tax incre�ent bond proceeds may be used, since the special assessments are repaying the City for its cost of the parking ramp improvement which was initially financed by application of tax increment bond proceeds. Since the special assessments are therefore
Mr. Donald R. Schneider April 30, 1992 Page 2
repaying the fund from which the original cost was paid, their application is limited to those purposes for which the fund itself may be used.
Therefore, your subsequent specific questions are addressed as follows:
1 . The special assessment proceeds may be placed in a development fund and used for development or development-related purposes provided they are development expenses of the CBD Redevelopment Project Area.
2.The funds from the parking ramp assessment may be used for taxincrement debt retirement. Additional tax increment moneys whichcome in after the date of such debt retirement by special assessmentsmay be used for development expenses of the CBD Redevelopment Area,same as the special assessments.
3.Your HRA/City Business Revolving Loan Fund is a program with whichI am not sufficiently familiar to render an opinion as to use of specialassessment funds for that purpose, and I believe it exceeds the scopeof the questions I am addressing in this opinion. Perhaps the approachwhich I am suggesting in this opinion, i.e., that the specialassessments may be used for any purpose for which the tax incrementor tax increment bond proceeds which they replaced can be used, willprovide sufficient information for you to address this question on yourown. If you would like me to look into that program further, please letme know and I will tell you what information I need.
Please feel free to call if I can be of any further assistance.
