OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL LEVY/BUDGET HEARING DECEMBER 10, 1992
The Budget/Levy Hearing was called to order at 8:00 p.m. by Mayor Murzyn.
1.ROLL CALL
Nawrocki, Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -present
Staff Present: City Manager Anderson and Finance Director Elrite
2.PURPOSE OF HEARING
To consider adoption of the 1993 budget and establish tax levies.
Mayor Murzyn advised those property owners in attendance that this hearing was not intended to address questions of property values. This issue is more appropriately addressed at the Board of Review.
3.PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
The City Manager explained that the budget process commences in March when he meets with individual department heads to prepare a draft of the proposed budget. This activity continues through June and July. The City Council begins its budget reviewals in July and August. The maximum levy is set in September and forwarded to Anoka County for use in the property owners' tax statements. During October and November the Council has many work sessions where the budget is reviewed. The public hearing is set for a December date. He noted this is a nine month process.
In September the Council approved the required resolution which set the maximum levy at 7.5%. In November, the Council decided to decrease the levy by half to 3.5%. In December the Council was notified by the State it would be receiving additional local government aid money which resulted from a share of the sales tax fund. This sales tax fund had exceeded the State's projections and resulted in an additional $158,396 being available to the City.
The Council decided to apply 100% of this additional local government aid to the 1993 real estate taxes resulting in no property tax increase for 1993 for the City's share of taxes.
The City Manager reviewed the proposed budget with the use of overhead graphs. Sources of revenue and areas of expenditures were identified.
LEVY/BUDGET HEARING DECEMBER 10, 1992 PAGE 2
Councilmember Nawrocki felt the vacation/sick leave liability fund should receive partial funding in 1992 rather than having its initial funds put into the 1993 budget. He also felt some of the expected cost of the Honeywel 1 Project should be identified in this budget. He made recommendations as to how this could be done with addition of some line items.
The Finance Director suggested that the budget could be reviewed and reductions made in line items where anticipated savings will be realized from the Honeywell Project. Councilmember Nawrocki felt this action would not sufficiently fund the Project and the costs should be added to the budget in a separate line item. He recalled the $53,000 projected cost for the first year of the Honeywell contract was based on eliminating one employee position and did not include the installation of four new phone lines. The position will not be eliminated.
Councilmember Ruettimann felt the funds realized from the bond refunding proceeds could be used for the infrastucture fund. Councilmember Nawrocki noted that no fund has been set up for the City's liabilitiy for employee sick leave and vacation time.
4.CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION
Resolution No. 92-41; Being A Resolution Adopting a Budget for the Year 1993 and Setting the Tax Levy Collectable for the Year 1993
Motion by Clerkin, second by Nawrocki to waive the reading of the resolution there being ample copies available for the public. Roll call: All ayes
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Clerkin that Section C of the resolution have for fiscal year 1992 the amount of $100,000 added for the reserve for vacation and sick pay and in Section B the amount of $56,000 added for the Honeywel 1 Capital Outlay. Roll call: All ayes
Councilmember Nawrocki noted he has worked on a City's budget thirty times over the years. He felt this budget did not recognize the City's ability to pay for some of the items in this budget. Noting that the City is ranked as a lower income community, the Council should be looking at costs for the future.
The City Manager stated that the employees of the City made very good efforts to hold this budget down and worked diligently in its preparation.
BUDGET/LEVY HEARING DECEMBER 10, 1992 PAGE 3
Mayor Murzyn felt positive strides have been made for the future and cited the examples of the Honeywell Project and the Infrastructure Fund.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired as to the disposition of the $95,000 being received from the medical clinic for the parking ramp rent. The City Manager responded that this money is being held and no action has been taken for it. The Finance Director noted f orma 1 action must be taken to establish a separate fund. Presently, it is in the Debt Service Fund and is not comingled with the General Fund.
Councilmember Nawrocki requested staff to keep some accounting for the Honeywell Project and stated his desire to have another police officer position added to the Police Department. He also requested information regarding the activities of the police officer in Grid 8 and wants to review the results of the activity of the school liaison officer when they are available.
Councilmember Clerkin extended verbal applause to the City Manager for his handling of the budget process.

1.ROLL CALL
Nawrocki, Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -present
2.PURPOSE OF MEETING
The purpose of this Special Council Meeting/Public Hearing isto consider elimination of the Housing and RedevelopmentAuthority and the creation of an Economic DevelopmentAuthority.
Councilmember Nawrocki requested the City Manager to read thenotice of this public hearing as it was published. The CityManager read the notice and Councilmember Nawrocki observedthat there was no alternative such as restructuring of the HRAmentioned. The City Manager stated that there was noresolution available for this option.
3.PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION
The City Manager stated the following reasons for consideringeliminating the HRA and creating an EDA:
1.Accounting functions could be combined with theCity's.
2.There could be a savings of dollar� as there could besubstantial improved investments of HRA surplus.
3.The per diem for HRA commissioners could be eliminatedas well as FICA costs.
4.There could be a reduction or elimination of liabilityinsurance, a reduction in leg�! fees, and less copyingcosts.
5.There could be standardization of personnel proceduresand a closer chain of command and policy making.
6.Only one audit would be necessary.
The City Manager suggested these changes could result in a savings of approximately $50,000 annually.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING/PUBLIC HEARING DECEMBER 14, 1992 PAGE 2
Jon Pawluk, an HRA Commissioner, stated he will be supportive of whatever decision the Council may make. He did express a concern with the hours which may be required by the Council, who will make up the EDA, and the associated time demands. He felt the additional hours this activity would take may be difficult.He suggested there be a joint planning session between the Council and the HRA Board of Commissioners.
At this session, consideration could be given to duplication of costs and efforts. He recommended this matter be evaluated in a year.
Counci !member Ruet timann advised that the Counci 1 has no problems with the HRA Commissioners and the manner in which they carry out their responsiblities, but are primarily focused on cost savings.
Councilmember Nawrocki read a letter received from Sebe Heintz, Chairperson of the HRA. Heintz stated his concerns with the time requirements of the HRA and questioned whether the Council sitting as the EDA would allow enough time.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Murzyn to receive the letter from Sebe Heintz and place on file. Roll call: All ayes
Councilmember Nawrocki felt there would be ways to save costs without eliminating the HRA and creating the EDA. His concern is that the EDA would enter into what could be a limited partnership in economic development and he questions the desirablitly of this move. He felt one alternative could be to restructure the HRA. The second alternative could be to have a joint session with the HRA and the Council to determine possible cost savings without actually doing a restructuring.
Councilmember Nawrocki also suggested that some members of the City Council could delegate his service on the HRA to an alternate. He mentioned Pat Jindra, who presently serves on the HRA Board, as a candidate to represent him. He recognized the problems which could come from the time requirements.
Discussion continued regarding a joint planning session.
Motion by Ruettimann to continue the hearing at a future date. The motion was withdrawn.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Peterson to direct the City Manager to work with the Executive Di rector of the HRA to incorporate the recordkeeping functions into the City's
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING\PUBLIC HEARING DECEMBER 14, 1992 PAGE 3
Financial Department for fiscal year starting January 1, 1993; that the City Manager and Executive Director of the HRA further explore how the City can work closer with the HRA on personnel matters and any other area of cooperation such as the City Manager has indicated earlier in this hearing here tonight; the recordkeeping functions include a combining of the books; and a joint planning session between the City Council and the HRA be held at the earliest convenient date.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: December 28, 1992
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
CITY MANAGER'S
BY:
DAT
At its meeting of December 23, 1991, the City Council authorized the Mayor and City Manager
to enter into a classified contract with the Star Tribune, effective January 1, 1992 through
December 31, 1992.
As you may recall, a cl assified contract works as follows. An organization can enter into a contract
with the Star Tribune based on a specified number of ad lines per year which the organization
anticipates being used in advertising. For example, the cost per line to run a recruitment ad in
the Sunday paper for January 1, 1992 -September 28, 1992 was $7.30 per line and from
September 29, 1992 -December 31, 1992 is $8.00 per line. In 1992, we entered into� 1/8 page
(368 line) contract, thus, making the cost per line to run a recruitment ad in the Sunday paper
(during 1992) $6.03 per line--a savings of $1.27 /$1.97 per line. During this contract period, to
date, we have used 750 lines. As we have reached the next usage level (1/4 page; 735 lines) our
rate will drop to $5. 93 per line. Thus, having had the classified contract, we will have paid
$3,895.40 for recruitment ads rather than $4,985.90--a savings of $1,090.50.
Recently, we received notice that effective January 1, 1993, the advertising rates will increase.
F9r 1 3 the rates to run a reeruitment ad in the Sunday paper (without a classified
�
o act) will
e $8.00 per lin The rates for 1993 for a classified contract for 1/8 page will be 6.3 per line.
It is recommended that the City enter into a classified contract with the Star Tribune or 1/8 page
(368 lines). Thus, the cost per line �ruitment ad in the Sunday paper would be $6.36 per
line, ra.tber than $8.00--a savings o�er Hoe. If we do not use 1/8 page (368 lines) during
the contract year, we would merely be charged the non -contract rate. If we reach a higher level
of usage in 1993, we will receive a rate adjustment and refund (as will occur in 1992).
As a point of information, the contract we signed previously does automatically renew on the
anniversary date. However, it is coming before the Council as the previous motion authorized
entering into a contract with the Star Tribune effective January 1, 1992, through December 31,
1992.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to renew the
classified contract with the Star Tribune, effective January 1, 1993, through December 31, 1993.

Each year the City Council designates an official newspaper for publishing of legal notices and other
required publications. State statutes require the newspaper to be published on a minimum of a
weekly basis. Statutes also limit the amount the newspaper can charge, to the rate paid by
commercial users. Based on this, there are only two newspapers serving Columbia Heights that
meet the criteria. They are the Focus Newspaper and the Star Tribune. Based on rates charged to
commercial customers, the Focus Newspaper is the least expensive alternative. The Star Tribune's
rate is $2.00 per line.
The following is a comparison of the 1992 rates to the 1993 rates:

ITEM: ATTENDANCE OF THE BY: JUNE JOHNSTON/BY: :;'� ASSISTANT FINANCE DIRECTOR WILLIAM ELRITE AT THE ANN UAL GFOA 7-I/o/'J-q CONFERENCE DATE: DEC. 21, 1992 , r" NO: . (!..
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada holds an annual conference dealing with the realm of complex and ever changing government financial issues. This conference deals with current changes in governmental accounting and reporting requirements, new
concepts and overall financial management. It is one time in the year when finance professionals
become updated on issues that could have a major impact on their government.
Over the years, attendance at the conference has grown significantly. The current attendance is over 4,000 people. As a result of the large attendance, there are seven to eight concurrent sessions throughout the day. Attendance at virtually all sessions would benefit the City. The 1993 budget includes appropriations to send the Assistant Finance Director to this conference.
The alternatives are limited to either attending or not attending the conference. There is no
alternative level of training available. Attendance provides staff with an updated level of training and knowledge to enhance job performance. A lack of attendance is a lack of training. Attendance at this conference could be compared to the ·ongoing training that is required of C.P.A.'s and other
professionals. In the case of Municipal Finance Professionals, there is no required ongoing training.
The d�ion to have ongoing training is at the discretion of the City Council.
The 1993 budget includes $1,300 for the Assistant Finance Director to attend this conference. The
projected cost of the attendance at the conference is within the budget limitations. There is a 20%
saving on the registration fee if it is paid prior to January 29, 1993. The long range financial
implications of attending the conference are hard to judge. The knowledge gained will definitely be
a benefit and will have a positive financial result.
It is staff's recommendation that the Assistant Finance Director attend the annual GFOA conference.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the attendance of June Johnston, Assistant Finance Director, at the Annual Government Finance Officer's Association Conference from May 2-5, 1993;
and furthermore, that related expenses be reimbursed.

During the course of our work, it has come to our attention that both hot and cold water must be furnished in a restroom. The existing lavatories at McKenna Park are for cold water only. Item 1 on the Change Order is to furnish and install two new lavatories to accommodate a faucet for both hot and cold water. The options to supply hot water are still being explored.
Item 2 on the Change Order is to lower the drinking fountains at Mathaire Park. This was inadvertently left off the plans. f:3 615"P� The total for the Change Orde+ is $925.10. There is still �00 available for this project in the CDBG fund.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize Change Order #1 to furnish and install two new lavatories on Project #9211 and to lower two drinking fountains on Project #9220, to KM Building Co., Inc. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a total of $925.10; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

Re: Park Shelters
Dear Kathy:
Your engineer requested the plumber supply a price for providing two new lav's at McKenna Park. This would be necessary due to a conflict between the existing lavatories and the new faucets as specified.
I have enclosed a copy of the plumbing contractors proposal. Your cost would be as follows.
Southside Plumbing & Heating KM Building Company, Inc. 10% Total
$ 341.00 34.10
$ 375.10
Please review and get back to me as quickly as possible. The plumber would like to know if he could proceed immediately. Apparently the lav's he is proposing are readily available and this work could be accomplished immediately.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FRO<l ,,STUART W. ANDERSON, CITY MANAGER
SUB� V(MANAGER'S REPORT
DATE: DECEMBER 23, 1992
1)SHARED RIDE RECAP--
JO.A.
See attached Shared Ride Expansion and Origination -Destination reports for the months of October andNovember, 1992.
2) BIODEGRADABLE COMPOST BINS--
Staff reviewed the information provided by Councilmember Nawrocki on the biodegradable compost binand spoke to a representative of the company. As a result, staff recommends purchase of two "winterspecials" at a cost of $189.90. This includes 40 compost bins, 40 custom printed instructional guides, 40promotional brochures, and 10 compost study packages. We will seek volunteers (through the next CityNewsletter) to participate in a "pilot program" starting this Spring.
3)SMOKE-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY--
As I previously reviewed with the City Council, I have established a smoke-free workplace effective March1, 1993. See the attached policy. In a cover memo, all employees have been given the option of workingwith the City if they wish to participate in some type of smoking cessation classes or treatment.
4)HUSET PARK SKATING--
The grand opening and ribbon cutting of Huset Park Old-Fashioned Skating Rink will be at 2:00 PM onJanuary 24, 1993. This date was selected because it is the off Sunday between the football playoffs and theSuper Bowl. The rink opens on the regular warming house schedule with free skating parties from 2:00 -4:00 PM each Sunday beginning January 3, 1993. This includes refreshments, music, games, etc.
5)STATE AID ROADS--
The City had applied for a variance from the State on some of our State Aid streets. The variance was forvertical curves. The State has approved our request and additional State Aid overlays will occur in 1993.
6)ORAL PETITION --
At the December 14, 1992, meeting, Petitioner Diedzic alleged that we were not enforcing the housingmaintenance code next door to him ( untrue statement) and that a City employee lived in that home. I havechecked our records. We do not have a City employee living at that address.

December 23, 1992
7)COURT OF APPEALS DECISION--
Henry Zimmer appealed his conviction of criminal contempt. The Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the
conviction. This is the second conviction he has appealed and we have prevailed in both instances.
8)HAZARDOUS SIDEWALKS--
The Council requested information on our sidewalk replacement policy and plans for 1993. See the attached
memo from Kathy Young.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
TO: MARK A. WINSON PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER
FROM: KATHYJEAN K. YOUNG ¥.iASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: HAZARDOUS SIDEWALK
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 1992
The City has approximately 31.5 miles or 665,000 square feet of sidewalk.
Approximately 61,000 square feet of sidewalk have been identified as hazardous and are scheduled for repair in 1993, or 9% of the total sidewalk. Minnesota State Aid Maintenance funds will be used for 21,000 square feet of the hazardous sidewalk, or 34%.
The criteria used by City employees to determine when a sidewalk is hazardous are:
1.Sections of sidewalk missing.
2.3/4 11 or more displacement of joints or cracks. This includesthe displ acement between sidewalk and adjacent curb and gutteras well as heaving or cracking due to tree root growth.
3.Cracking wider than 1".
4.Tertiary cracking of more than 50% of a sidewalk panel.
5.Excessive spalling.
6.Water ponding. (In the 1985 project, this was limited to 4panels at the project hearing. Limiting the work will leavethe most severe ponding problems uncorrected.)
The approximate assessed cost per square foot is $5. 00. includes construction ($160,000) engineering ($15,000) assessing ($25,000).
This and
Memorandum to Mark Winson December 10, 1992 Page 2
If a property owner Wqnts to replace their own sidewalk, I suggest the following:
1.Obtaining a street excavation permit for $10.00 pe=mit fee.No license or bond is required.
2.Constructing sidewalk in accordance with City standards byJuly 1, 1993. (The deadline will allow the City's C·:mtractortime to do the work if not done by the property owner.)
3.Schedule inspection of form work and concrete placement withEngineering Department. The technicians will inspect work astime allows, therefore, there will be no guarantee againstcracking or poor workmanship provided by the City of ColumbiaHeights.
The most recent sidewalk repair project was done in 1985. Although we have no records, the Assessing Clerk felt that only 2 or 3 property owners elected to do their own work.
