6.PUBLIC HEARINGS/ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS
a.First Reading of Ordinance No. 1238, Being An OrdinanceGiving Preliminary Approval to a Project Under MinnesotaStatutes, Chapter 469, Sections 469.152 -469.165 andAuthorizing Preparation of Necessary Documents
Columbia Park Properties, who owns two medical clinics, one located in Columbia Heights and one located in Fridley, is in the process of refundinq previously issued industrial revenue bonds. The purpose is to reduce the debt service by takinq advantaqe of the current interest· rates which are substantially lower than they were at the time of the orioinal issue.
The City Manaqer advised that the Fridley City Council is considering this matter at their Counci 1 meetinc;i tonight. That Council is requestinq a 1 1/21 administration fee and that dollars be escrowed which equal the difference between taxable bonds, at the market rate versus taxable rate, which reflect the difference in those two amounts be spent on capitol improvements which benefit the City of Fridley.
The City Manaoer stated that staff is reconnending Columbia Heights support the ordinance without special requirements in this instance. Staff feels if this type of policy is going to be instituted, it should not be done when a bonding issue is before front of the Council. The ordinance being considered was drafted by the City's bond counsel.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1992 PAGE 4
Councilmember Nawrocki supports Columbia Heights doing the same as Fridley which is to require up to 1 1/21 of the amount of the issue be paid to the City; some funds be earmarked for administration; a cap of $50,000 on the amount that could be raised under that; and that if the bonding counsel indicated that arbitrage rulings would be violated by that amount, then the 1 1/21 would be reduced to the point where the bonding attorney would give the opinion that it would not run contrary to arbi traoe requirements of the federal law.
He noted that the City of Fridley is proposing that the difference between the non tax-exempt rate and a taxable rate, whatever might be current, would go into an escrow fund for capitol improvements on the owner's buildings, not a general capitol fund for someone else to use.
Councilmember Nawrocki acknowledged that this kind of requirement is not usually done on the initial issuance of industrial revenue bonds when the City and the developer had a mutual interest, but on a refunding which really amounts to a "windfall" for the property owner. He felt this profit occurred because the City had put its stamp of approval on the bond and that the City can quite legitimately participate in the "windfall."
Councilmember Clerkin stated he agrees with the position of Councilmember Nawrocki.
Two physicians on the staff of the Columbia Park Clinics stated their opposition to the position of Councilmember Nawrocki. They felt this refunding was similar to a mortgage refinancing at lower interest rates and noted that the initial bond issues had a "call" provision at which time this should have been done.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired what the estimated savings would be with this refinancing. He was advised by the owner's legal counsel it would be $513,000 over the remaining fifteen years. Councilmember Nawrocki observed that the City would only benefit ten percent or possibly less which may be about $25,000. He felt this was a "modest consideration.•
Councilmember Peterson noted that this is not a large amount of money, but felt this matter should have been addressed before the refunding issue was in front of the City Council. He found it to be rather like changing the rules after the game had started.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1992 PAGE 5
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to waive the reading of the ordinance there being ample copies available for the public.
Mayor Murzyn noted his concern reqardinq the City's image and how this would appear to the City's business community.
Councilmember Ruettimann felt this matter should have been discussed when the bonds were approved, but feels the presence of the Clinic does benefit the City.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired how the ordinance could be amended. The City Attorney responded the ordinance would have to be read to be amended. Counci !member Nawrocki advised he will be absent from the meetinq when the second reading is scheduled and requested the motion to waive the reading be withdrawn. No action was taken on the withdrawal request.
Roll call: Clerkin, Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -aye Nawrocki -nay Motion to waive the reading fails.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Clerkin to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1238 as presented to the Council with a change that would require up to 1 1/2% of the amount of the issue be paid to the City, provided that amount is not more than $50,000, and if the bond attorney should rule that the 1 1/21 is too high to comply with federal arbitraqe requirements, that the percentage be reduced to a level that, in the opinion of the bond attorney, would not violate federal arbitrage.
Roll call:
Motion fails.
Nawrocki, Clerkin -aye Ruettimann, Peterson, Murzyn -nay
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to reconsider the original motion to waive the readinq. Roll call: All ayes
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if this ordinance could have its second readinq at the March 23rd meeting. The bond attorney for the Clinics stated this would be too late for the refunding.
The bond attorney, noting that a four-fifths vote is necessary by Charter to approve this ordinance, requested members of the Council to indicate their position on
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 24, 1992 PAGE 6
this matter. Councilmember Nawrocki stated his strong objections to this request noting that it violates the spririt for having two readings of an ordinance.
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to waive the reading of the ordinance there being ample copies available for the public. Roll call: All ayes
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to schedule the second reading of Ordinance No. 1238 for March 9, 1992. Roll call: All ayes

A.Public HearingVarianceCase #9203-06
Sherrie A. Lee 4421 Main Street N.E.
Columbia Heights, Mn.
The request of Ms. Lee for a setback variance of one foot was presented by Mr.
Schneider. He explained that the applicant is proposing a 16 foot by 22 foot
addition onto the front of the existing structure. The current house is nonconforming as it is located four feet from the north side property line. Five feet is the required side yard setback in the R-2 Zoning District. Ms. Lee is proposing
to continue the wall line of the proposed addition at four feet to match the existing house.
It was the determination of the Commission that a hardship was not evident and, therefore, a variance could not be approved.
Chairperson Szurek suggested to Ms. Lee that the addition be set five feet inside the north property line to conform to the Zoning requirements.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Deering, to deny the setback variance for 4421 Main
Street due to lack of a hardship. Roll Call: All Ayes.
STAFF REPORTS:
A.Mr. Schneider informed the Commission that the City Council has requested theCommission to consider a proposed usage of the property at 2201 N.E.· 37th Avenue.The Commission is requested to determine whether this usage would be consistent
with the allowed uses in the Retail Business District.
Mr. Schneider stated that the space contains 21,930 square feet and was formerly used as a grocery store and furniture store.
Kris Harrison was present representing the Clearance Expo, the proposed tenant. He gave a description of the operation stating that it would consist of up to 100
booth spaces for exhibitors to sell new product at a lower clearance price. It is

their intent to eventually expand into the adjacent vacant tenant space, formerly Snyder Drug.
Attorney Woods stated that this proposed use would not be a correctly permitted use in the RB District under Section 9.113(1-2), He surmised that this marketing concept was probably not contemplated when the Zoning Ordinance was written. He indicated that an ordinance could be written to allow this type of use with a Conditional Use Permit to provide restrictions under which the proposed use would operate.
Discussion was held regarding possible restrictions to be included in developing the ordinance.
Motion by Deering, seconded by Larson, to direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance to allow open space multi-retail sales by Conditional Use Permit in the
RB, Retail Business District. Roll Call: All Ayes.
B.Mr. Schneider informed the Commission of concerns of Staff pertaining to feescharged for variances, conditional use permits and other similar fees. During thelast few years, the $25 fee charged for variances, the $50 charged for conditionaluse permits and the $10 charged for lotsplits does not cover postage for publichearing notices as well as the Staff hours required by different departments. Acopy of a survey done by the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities wasreviewed by the Commission for a comparison of fees charged by other cities.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend the City Council increase the fees charged for variances, conditional use permits, lotsplits and other zoning related items. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Immaculate Conception Church has requested that the "No Parking Anytime" designation on the west side of Quincy St. bt removed to provide more convenient parking for school staff. A Public Hearing was held in order to give residents in the area an opportunity to express their concerns. Businesses and residents in the area were notified by mail of the Hearing.
Several residents were present at the Hearing and voiced their objection to the proposed change. They felt that it would only add to the parking problems in front of their homes and suggested that a "Monday through Friday 8: 00 A.M. to 4: 00 P .M. Parking" be added on the west side. Staff felt that this would probably create confusion with "no parking" on one side of the street and having a parking limit on the other side.

Ed Carlson was present and added that parking around a church has always been a problem. Over the years churches and businesses have always been encouraged to use their parking lots.
Motion by Clerkin, seconded by Gorecki, to deny the request for the "No Parking Anytime" designation on the west side of Quincy St. N.E. from 40th Avenue N.E. to 41st Avenue N.E. to be removed, allowing parking anytime. Roll Call: all ayes.
B.PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER REMOVING THE "NO PARKINGANYTIME" DESIGNATION ON THE WEST SIDE OF JACKSONST. N.E. FROM 40TH AVENUE N.E. TO THE NORTH PARKINGLOT ENTRANCE, ALLOWING PARKING ANYTIME. ALL OTHERPARKING RESTRICTIONS ON JACKSON ST. WILL REMAIN ASPOSTED.
Immaculate Conception Church requested the removalof the "No Parking Anytime" designation on the westside of Jackson St. N.E. from 40th Avenue N.E. tothe north parking lot entrance, allowing parkinganytime. The "No Parking" designation wasinitiated by the school when the parking lots onboth the east and west sides of Jackson St. N.E.were used as playground. The church is requestingthe change to allow parents of school children todrop off and pick up their children easily duringschool hours when the parking lot is closed toparking.
Acting Police Chief Olson stated that he felt safety is a key issue with this request and indicated that allowing parking would cause a dangerous situation with people trying to get out of the parking lot. He felt the church has ample parking in the lots and it should be used. Staff recommended that parking be limited to one or two hours. This would prevent vehicles from parking on Jackson St. all day, defeating the purpose for removing the restriction. Mr. Clerkin suggested making it a "10 minute" parking zone, making it legal for parents picking up their children. Ms. Gorecki stated she was undecided and would like more time to think about the request. She wasn't sure "10 minute" parking was the answer.

A.REQUEST TO ELIMINATE THE "10 MINUTE PARKING"RESTRICTION AT 322 -40TH AVE. N.E.
The City Manager has requested that the "10 minute parking" restriction at 322 -4 0th Ave. N. E. be eliminated. When the building was used as a City liquor store the parking restriction was initiated. It is no longer a liquor store and the building is for sale/lease. The parking restriction is seen as a detriment in trying to lease the building.
Motion by Clerkin, seconded by Gorecki, to call a Public Hearing to remove "10 minute parking" restriction at 322 -40th Ave. N .E. Roll Call: all ayes. The Public Hearing will be held on April 6, 1992.

B.REQUEST TO PROVIDE LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONE FOR"HEAD START PROGRAM" AT NORTHWEST ELECTRONICSINSTITUTE.
Ms. Judy Ploog, Transportation Coordinator for Head Start, has requested a loading and unloading zone at the west door of NEI, 825 41st Ave. N.E. Currently the area is designated as "No Parking". If a teacher is not waiting for the young children, the driver must park the van and walk the children inside the building, violating the "No Parking" restriction. Acting Police Chief Olson stated that the Police Department receives complaints from students at NEI and they think that if they can't park in this area, that no one else should be able to park in the restricted area either.
Motion by Gorecki, seconded by Clerkin, to call a Public Hearing to provide a loading and unloading zone at the west door of NEI, 825 -41st Ave. N.E. The Public Hearing will be held on April 6, 1992.
VI.OTHER NEW BUSINESS
A.Kathy Young has received a request from theresident of 696 40th Ave. N.E. to install ahandicap parking place in front of their home. Inorder to do this, some changes would have to bemade in the current traffic control at thislocation. A fire hydrant, a bus stop in front ofthis address and a painted and signed crosswalk atthe west border to this property need to bereviewed. As the request was not received insufficient time for this meeting, staff will gatherinformation and get input from MTC and place it onthe agenda of the April 6th meeting.
VII.REPORTS
A.CITY ENGINEER
In September of 1991, Fred Salsbury approached the Traffic Commission with a recommendation for extending the visibility triangle. Although it is ideal, staff is concerned that it will be perceived

as an undue hardship for corner lots. Staff recommended that a survey of surrounding communities concerning their policies be done. Commission members felt that it would not be a good idea to change the visibility ordinance. For the mostpart, the lots in the City are only 40' wide and we would be telling residents they could not plant trees in their front yards.
Motion by Gorecki, seconded by Clerkin, to keep the present visibility ordinance. Roll Call: All ayes.
B.POLICE CHIEF
None.
C.COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Goodman asked about the timing of the pedestrian signal at 40th and Central. He noted that the walk time is only 15-20 seconds long and not long enough to make it across the entire street. Acting Police Chief Olson indicated he will check it out.

Immaculate Conception Church has requested that the school crossing on Jackson St. between 40th Ave. and 41st Ave. be changed to a pedestrian crossing. The school crossing was needed when the parking lots on both the east and west sides of Jackson St. were used as playground. Currently only the lot on the west side of Jackson St. is used for playground. The lot on the east side is still being used by the church for parking.
The Traffic Commission at their meeting of March 2, 1992, considered the request and recommend that the school crossing be changed to a pedestrian crossing since the parking lot on the east side of Jackson is still being used. A pedestrian crossing would be necessary to allow mid-block crossing to the church on the oneway street.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the request to change school crossing on Jackson St. between 40th Ave. and 41st Ave. to a pedestrian crossing based on the recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

Columbia Heights agreed to become a co-applicant with the City of Minneapolis for the NPDES Permit. The attached agreement formalizes the verbal authorization to proceed with the Permit Application. The agreement does not require Columbia Heights to become a co-permittee.
As you may recall, municipalities with a population of 100,000 or greater are required to apply for an NPDES Permit for discharge o.f storm water runoff. Columbia Heights is required to apply for a permit for that porti0n of runoff that enters the Minneapolis sewer system. Refer to attached sketch. The total estimated cost of the Permit application is $500,000. Columbia ,Heights' share is not to exceed $4,000. The cost to Columbia Heights is based on the percentage of contributing area or 0.8%.
I have attached a portion of a letter addressed to the Minneapolis Mayor and Council and prepared by the Minneapolis Director of Public Works containing background information. The industrial discharge permit referred to in the letter does not apply to Columbia Heights. According to the agreement, preparation costs for the industrial discharge permit will not be included in the cost to Columbia Heights.

Re: U.S. EPA Storm Water Regulations Minneapolis Requirements
August 30, 1991
The Honorable Steve Cramer, Chair Ways and Means/Budget Committee Room 307 City Hall Minneapolis, MN 55415
Direction to Enter Into Agreement with Co-Applicants
Dear Council Members Scallon and Cramer:
This letter is to update the City Council on the status of U.S. EPA's Storm Water Regulations and to request permission to enter into Agreements with co-applicants.
BACKGROUND
On November 16, 1991 the U.S. EPA issued their final Storm Water Regulations. The goal of these Regulations is to improve the quality of storm water through a process of permitting municipal and industrial storm water discharges to Waters of the United States. Permittees will ultimately be required to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) to improve the quality of the storm water. Minneapolis is required to apply to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for two storm water discharge permits: (1)a Municipal discharge permit; and (2) an Industrial discharge permit for our wastetransfer stations, bituminous plant, etc. Public Works staff has been studying theFederal Register, attending seminars, having discussions with the MPCA, and assemblinginformation in order to meet the requirements of these complex regulations.
The Honorable Tony Scallon The Honorable Steve Cramer

NPDES PERMITS FOR DISCHARGE OF STORM WATER RUNOFF
MUNICIPAL PERMIT
1.Interagency Cooperation
The Regulations are very specific on who must receive a storm water runoff discharge permit. This permit must be obtained by all municipalities with population greater than 100,000. In addition, any public agency which owns a storm sewer system which drains to the Minneapolis system should also receive a permit. This includes most of our neighboring communities, as well as the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Hennepin County, the University of Minnesota, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
Initially we identified all the communities and agencies which discharge storm water runoff to either the Minneapolis storm drain system or directly to the lakes within Minneapolis. We met with each party to discuss the possibility of filing a joint application to the MPCA. It became obvious that a joint permit application would be considerably less expensive than the cost to assemble separate permit applications. The MPCA then confirmed that a joint permit application does not restrict the co-applicants to becoming co-permittees.
The following have agreed to be co-applicants with Minneapolis:
University of Minnesota Minnesota Department of Transportation Hennepin County Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Columbia Heights Richfield.
The City of St. Louis Park has decided to submit separate permit application to the MPCA. The City of St. Anthony refuses to apply for a storm water discharge permit until their entire municipality is required to be permitted, not just the area which drains to Minneapolis.
Separate agreements have been drafted with the above listed co-applicants. These agreements formalize each party's willingness to be co-applicants and sets up reimbursement to the City Minneapolis to cover the costs to prepare the permit application.
These agreements do not obligate any party to become a co-permittee with Minneapolis. To-date, no party has committed to becoming a co-permittee. The co-applicants are reluctant to agree to a co-permit with Minneapolis without a clear understanding of how the MPCA will structure the permits. It is unclear whether there will be any advantage or disadvantage of being a co-permittee. Therefore, the Agreement allows this to be decided at some later date.

Municipalities are required to submit a permit application in two parts:
Part 1 -due November 18, 1991
Part 1 is basically an extensive inventory: Storm sewer system. Topography of each storm sewer drainage area. Rainfall/snow fall estimates. Description of existing Storm Water Program (such as Watershed Management Organizations).
In addition, we are in the process of a preliminary investigation to discover if any industries are discharging process water into our storm sewers and whether there are any pollutants in these discharges.
Part 2 -due November 16, 1992
Part II requires a study of the quality of our storm water: Test and analyze storm water from 3 storms at 10 sites throughout the City. Estimate of annual pollutant load based on results from the 3 storms. Propose Best Management Practices which will reduce/eliminate the pollutants discovered. Estimate effectiveness and cost of selected Best Management Practices. Establish budget to implement recommended Best Management Practices.
3.Implementation of Municipal Permit
The MPCA must then issue an NPDES permit to Minneapolis for a period of 5years, which will detail which Best Management Practices (BMPs) Minneapolismust implement. During the period of the permit, Minneapolis must submitannual reports which report on the success/failure of each BMP and the actualcosts.
In a fully developed City such as Minneapolis, it is impossible to clean-upour storm water with a single method. EPA has proposed the concept of BestManagement Practices in an effort to avoid costly construction programs.Basically, BMPs may involve a combination of management programs,construction projects, and/or ordinances. The following is a partial list ofthe BMPs which the Public Works Department will study for effectiveness andcosts:
Capital Projects
Annual program to construct grit chambers/litter skimmers at all outfalls in the City.
The Honorable Tony ScalloG The Honorable Steve Cramer August 30, 1991 Page 4
Diversion structures which send storm water from problem areas to the sanitary treatment plant.
Operation/Maintenance Programs
Increased frequency of street sweeping/cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the storm sewers. Careful handling of litter.
City Ordinances
Strengthen inspection and enforcement of erosion control ordinances. Expand license requirements of commercial fertilizer applicators. Regulate content of fertilizers. Require pet owners to clean-up after pets.
Public Education Programs
Proper handling of litter, waste oil, fertilizers, animal waste, car washwater, etc. Encourage reporting of illegal dumping into storm sewers.
The permit will probably also require an annual report on the status of our storm water program. This annual report must summarize the results of an on-going testing program, the actual funds spent on the Best Management Practices, the actual effectiveness of the BMPs, and recommendations for adjustments to the BMPs in order to maximize effectiveness.

This is a self-propelled (walk behind} type aerator for getting in and around smaller turf areas such as by buildings, fences, trees, etc. Aerating can save on labor and materials by allowing the turf to utilize more fully the benefits of fertilizer, weed control and moisture.

MANAGER'S REPORT
MARCH6, 1992
1)OPERATIONAL REPORTS FOR FEBRUARY17, -MARCHl, 1992--
/0.f/.
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.
2)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS--
During the month of February, staff utilized the hours of community service workers as indicated
below:
Administration/City Hall...
Fire ..................................... .
3)SHARED RIDE--
27:00 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey
9:30 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey
36:30 hours -Total
See attached Shared Ride Expansion and Origination -Destination reports for January, 1992.
4)DOWNTOWN STREET LIGHTS--
The downtown street lights have been inoperable since Sunday, March 1. A electrician has been
attempting to identify the problem and we hope to have them restored by Friday night, March 6. One
of our ongoing concerns is that so many repair jobs have been made on the wiring system that the
original color coding system is no longer 100%. We will be evaluating long-term needs.
5)TELEPHONE SYSTEM--
Ever since the new telephone system was installed, we have been experiencing some difficulties. The
most troublesome issue is that we lose some incomi.ng phone calls in the middle of our conversations.
This occasionally leads the caller to believe we have bung up on them intentionally, which is not
correct and causes embarrassing situations for our employees. I am using a telephone consultant to
be our agent in dealing with U.S. West as the results of our previous efforts have been unsatisfactory.
I will keep you advised of the status of our modifications.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 2
March 6, 1992
6)PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR VACANCY --
As of this date, I have been unable to find a candidate which was both acceptable to me and who
would accept the position for the compensation package offered. At this time, I am reevaluating my
options for either an expanded search or a reorganization. It definitely will be some period of time
before we fill the position. In the meantime, I will continue to supervise the function. The staff at
Public Works and Engineering has been absolutely outstanding in their cooperation and work during
this interim period.
7)STREET SWEEPING--
Because of the very mild weather and lack of snowfall, we have taken advantage of our opportunity
to do some early street sweeping. Our objective is to get as much sand cleaned up as possible before
it gets into the catch basins. I will continue to monitor the weather to see what opportunities are
available to us before the overnight parking ban ends on March 31.
8)SOO LINE TRACKS AT 37TH AND STINSON--
This week I received a call from a representative of the St. Anthony Lions Club, who indicated their
club is looking for an environmental project. Their present target is the unkept triangle of land on
the northwest corner of 37th and Stinson Boulevard. They are going to do preliminary work with the
Soo Line and with some landscaping people to determine what type of project is feasible for that
location. After they have additional information, they will probably be seeking out assistance from
other service clubs. I have assured them the cooperation of the City in this superb project.
9)UTILITY RATES--
On Monday, March 9, the first bills will be received by homeowners reflecting the increased water
rates and sewer rates. We have included in every billing a notice explaining that this is the first
increase since 1982 and that we have very limited control over the cost of these services. I anticipate
that staff and Council may be receiving phone calls next week.
10)STREET BREAK UP--
This winter and early spring has been difficult on our streets in several areas. Some of the problem
is due to the fact that we had standing water at many locations for much of the winter. An example
of the severe breakup is on University Avenue. Substantial patching is needed, yet our cold patching
in areas that are wet is a very temporary fix. We are investigating whether there is any source for a
hot mix available this early in the year which may provide a better patch. The cement alley in the
4200 block between Jefferson and Washington simply erupted at the north end--a very unusual
situation for a concrete alley. No repair is possible until the frost is completely out of the ground and
some drying occurs. We will then evaluate what can be done to fix that alley. Other locations will
also be in need of work.
11)IBGHWAY INFORMATION ON SIGNS--
Many years ago, signs were installed on Highway 47 and Highway 65 giving direction to City Hall
and to the County Courtroom. I have received a letter, copy attached, from MnDOT indicating they
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 3
March 6, 1992
are unlawful signs and must be removed. I am gathering information on their installation, however,
I intend to respond by indicating they are no less important than directional signs to the zoo, the
hospitals, Met Center, etc. Our effort will be to keep the signs in place.
12)PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL AT 51ST A VENUE--
Attached is a copy of a letter from MnDOT indicating that the pedestrian crossing signal at 51st
Avenue NE on Highway 47 no longer meets warrants (justification) to remain in place. MnDOT is
doing a project involving the signals on Highway 47 and has advised us that this signal will be
removed as part of the project. If you wish efforts to resist this signal, please advise me. Understand
that such effort would, at a minimum, require that we provide a hold harmless to MnDOT for future
liability at that location.
13)CABLE TV NORTH CENTRAL RECEPTION--
Attached is an invitation to attend an informal cocktail reception hosted by Cable TV North Central
for purposes of meeting the officials from Meredith/New Heritage. Please notify Linda Magee no
later than 12 Noon, March 10, which, if any, reception you plan to attend.

I.Events/Accomplishments
A.As an informational point, other Anoka Colillty police agencies
are continuing to participate in the ATAC program (AnokaTraffic Accident Countermeasure) even with the end of Stategrant funding. The Ci t:v of Fridley hosted a saturation
patrol February 29 from 11:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. The satura
tion was basically in the south end of the county. ColumbiaHeights officers did not participate in this particular
project.
B.The Police Department records and records keeping procedureswere scrutinized by the BCA ( Bureau of Criminal Apprehension)
during their records audit of February 19. We experience
this audit procedure on a nonroutine basis. The last auditwas several years ago. The final grade we received after
this check was one of excellent. We have some small changes
to mal;;;e administratively to comply fully with the State'scritique, which were more in the way of reminders.
II.Projects/Goals
A.Dates have finally been chosen for the police computer
software and training updates. Training for our personnelwill be March 16, with the software installation on March 17,
1992.
III.Issues/Problems
A.I have checked the driver's license record of the taxidriver, George Prondzinski and find no new moving violations
on his record. Prondzinski, as you recall, was put on aprobation of sorts because of his driving record. Thisprobation will expire April 1 with an acceptable record check
at the end of March. This final record check will be
reported to you.
B.We experienced two stabbings over this past weekend, both of
which resulted in arrests. The first occurred at 4521 TaylorStreet, where a domestic situation between a man and woman had erupted. On 2/28/92 at about 9 P.M., a male and female

were fighting when they both began choking each other. The male drew back a fist to hit the woman and she grabbed a knife and stabbed him in the thigh. The second incident at 4653 Central Avenue occurred 2/29/92 at about 10:30 P.M., where two males got into a heated argument over one having dated the other's girlfriend. In the front foyer of the building, a fight broke out with one stabbing the other seven to eight times in the torso.

Re: C.S. 0205 (T.H. 47) -CITY HALL SIGNS
Dear Mr. Salsbury:
Mn/DOT is in the process of updating and replacing our highway signs throughout the
state. We have observed four signs that refer to the Columbia Heights City Hall/ Anoka
County Court which are located on T.H. 47 and T.H. 65 near 40th Avenue North.
According to guidelines in the Minnesota Traffic Engineering Manual, these facilities do
not warrant supplemental guide signs. We also do not have any record of a permit being
issued for the installation of these signs along our highways.
Therefore, we assume these signs were installed by the city of Columbia Heights and
should be removed by the city as soon as possible. Please contact our office if you have
any questions regarding this matter.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
/-/

Dear Mr. Salsbury:
SUBJECT: S.P. 0205-62 (TH 47)
at 51st Ave. NE
Signal Removal
Reply to Oakdale Office
Telephone No. 779-1121
The pedestrian crossing signal at 51st A venue NE was identified, in a letter to you on March 29,
1991, as one of a series of traffic signals scheduled for replacement. Mn/DOT policy requires that
we rejustify signals when a major revision or reconstruction is proposed. Our analysis indicates
that this traffic signal is no longer justified and should be removed.
Traffic signals should neither be put into operation, nor continued in operation, unless one or more
of the signal warrants set forth in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MMUTCD) are met. This signal was originally installed under Warrant 4 -the School Crossing
warrant. It is our understanding that this crossing was an established school crossing for children
attending Nelson Elementary School. Since this school was closed in 1980, the requirements under
this warrant are no longer met. We reviewed the need for retaining the signal based on any of the
other signal warrants; however, none of the other warrants were satisfied. This is mainly due to
the fact that this is a non-intersection (midblock) location.
We also investigated whether or not the pedestrian crossing should be retained at this location.
Our observation of pedestrian activity indicates that there are very few pedestrians using this
crossing, and many of those do not activate the pedestrian walk indications before crossing. MTC
has two routes running along University Avenue. Route 24 buses, on University Avenue, do not
stop at the 51st Avenue crossing; Route 10 buses, on the east frontage road, will stop at this
crossing. Both routes stop at 49th and 53rd Avenues, which are signalized intersections, with
pedestrian indications, crosswalks and bus shelters.

Removal of this pedestrian crossing and traffic signal would be beneficial to both pedestrians and
motorists. Pedestrians may have a false sense of security when using this crosswalk and may be
unaware of the potential hazards. This is a fairly high speed (45 mph) -high volume highway and
midbloek pedestrian erossings and traffic signals ci.re generally not expected by motorists, especially
if the crossing is seldom used. The ccordination of the t:r..ffic signals along T.H. 47 would cause
considerable delay to pedestrians who want to cross T.H. 47 at this location. The availability of
gaps at a midblock location further breeds non-compliance of the walk indications. We feel that
overall pedestrian safety would be improved if pedestrians used the crossings at the 49th and 53rd
Avenue intersections. Motorists would benefit from the improved traffic flow, and the reduction
of accident potential created by the unexpected traffic signal and non-compliance with the signal
indications.
We are proposing to remove the traffic signal and the pedestrian crossing in conjunction with
project S.P. 0205-62, which is currently scheduled for a March 1992 letting. The pedestrian
crossing removal would include removal of sidewalk, pavement markings, and signing, and closure
of the fence openings. The cost participation and maintenance responsibilities, as outlined in Gary
Ries' March 29, 1991 letter to you, will be revised. The State will assume all City costs associated
with the removal of the traffic signal and the pedestrian crossing.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this removal, please contact me or Bob Vasek,
District Traffic Studies Engineer (779-1124) as soon as possible.
