Roll call: A1·1 ayes 5.OPEN MIKE/PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS Fred Olsen, 4311 Monroe Street, stated the concerns of himself and of his neighbors regarding the level of activity, number of vehicles and many residents at 4321 Monroe Street. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 4 Mr. Olsen stated that this property owner has built a garage too close to the alley, placed flower beds over two drains and appears to be living elsewhere while claiming a homestead credit. He has brought some of his concerns to the attention of the Building Inspections Department and one of the flower beds has been removed. Also, some of the building projects on the home have been "red tagged" and Mr. Olsen stated that the owner indicated he interprets the tag as a building permit. It is Mr. Olsen's contention that there are renters in the house and a rental permit has not been applied for nor issued. He noted that the present owner purchased the house in April of 1987, but did not apply for homestead until 1991. The owner's brother appears to be residing at the house all of the time. Steve Kelm, 4319 Monroe Street, has counted fifty-eight different vehicles at 4321 and 4323 Monroe Street since July. He also felt there are between twelve and sixteen people living in the house. He felt the continual activity at the house is questionable and has received many different explanations from people regarding the level of activity. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to direct the City Manager to prepare a response to the allegations with said response being given to the Counc i 1 and sent to Mr. Fred Olsen, Mr. Steve Kelm and Mrs. Phyllis Kelm. Roll call: All ayes The resident at 4315 Fifth Street noted that parking problems in another section of the community had been discussed at the April 9th Council Meeting. He suggested that the Council consider an ordinance which would prohibit parking in front of a property by anyone other than the property owner. He also has noticed commercial and industrial-type vehicles entering the City after 5:00 p.m. and being parked in the City until they leave the next morning. This resident felt this practice should be stopped as it damages the roads and is not aesthetically acceptable. 6.PUBLIC HEARINGS/ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS a.Second Reading of Ordinance No. 1242, Being an OrdinanceAmending Ordinance No. 853, City Code of 1977, PermittingTire and Battery Sales and Service in "RB" Districts REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 5 b. 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 The City Manager noted that this ordinance will not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. ORDINANCE NO. 1242 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 853, CITY CODE OF 1977, PERMITTING TIRE AND BATTERY SALES AND SERVICEIN "RB" DISTRICTS The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: An amendment to Section 9.113(2) of the Zoning Ordinance adding the following: (o)Tire and battery sales and service. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days after its passage. First reading: Second reading: Date of passage: Offered by: Seconded by: Ro 11 call: May 11, 1992 May 26, 1992 May 26, 1992 Ruettirnann Peterson Al 1 ayes Mayor Donald J. Murzyn, Jr. Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary Resolution for Collection of Water Testing Fee The City Manager advised that water testing will be done on an annual basis and the fees charged will be collected annually. He felt there would only be about sixty water supplies tested in Columbia Heights. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 6 This testing was mandated by the Legislature which authorized the Department of Health to assess an annual fee of $5.21 for every service connection to a public water supply that is owned or operated by a city, town or water use district. Councilmember Nawrocki advised he had contacted two staff members at the League of Minnesota Cities who were familiar with this particular legislation. He had been advised that no testing would be done in Columbia Heights homes. This testing was intended to address water supplies. Don Jolly, Public Works Supervisor, advised he was told this test would be done with tap water in individual homes and was authorized by the State of Minnesota Department of Environmental Health. Councilmember Nawrocki stated he had a problem with passing this charge onto the water user residents in the community. He felt this was really a surcharge which would be used by the State to fulfill the requirements of a federal mandate. There appeared to be some concern on the Council whether this was one issue or actually two issues. Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to table this matter for additional information. Roll call: All ayes 7.COMMUNICATIONS There were no other communications other than those which were considered on the Consent Agenda. 8.OLD BUSINESS Fire Department Breathing Air System Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to purchase from Compress Air & Equipment Company of Plymouth, Minnesota a high pressure breathing air system for the Fire Department in the amount of $12,697; and to authorize an approximate amount of $300 to Heights Electric, Inc. of Columbia Heights for the electrical wiring of the system; for an overall total of $12,907; $6,500 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 7 to come from a donation from the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters, balance to come from the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund. Councilmember Peterson thanked the Columbia Heights Athletic Boosters for the very generous donation. Councilmember Nawrocki recalled that the Council had requested three quotes be sought for this equipment. The City Manager advised that three firms were contacted, but only two responded with quotes. Roll call: All ayes 9.NEW BUSINESS a.Three -Year Tax Reduction on Columbia Heights Mall In 1989 the HRA Board approved, subject to City Council concurrence, an Amendment to Assessment Agreement on the Columbia Heights Mall property which is owned by Zaidan Holdings, Inc. This agreement would have enabled Zaidan Holdings, Inc. to receive a reduction in taxes payable in 1990, 1991, and 1992. The County Assessor Certification was not completed therefore Zaidan Holdings, Inc. did not receive the reduction which would have been approximately $140,000 to $150,000. It had been indicated that the Certification was not completed due to an administrative error by the HRA and Anoka County. Councilmember Nawrocki felt there was not an administrative error and referred to the document which had been receipted by the Recorder's Office. Councilmember Ruettimann agreed that this is not an accurate statement and that the reference to an administrative error be removed. Members of the Council stated their concerns with regard to the funds from any refunded dollars go to those tenants in the mall who were promised them. A representative of Zaidan Holdings, Inc. advised that this iefunding was not noted in any of the tenant leases, but that the former and present tenants will receive whatever they are due from the Receiver. A representative of the lenders felt this would be an administrative impossiblity, noting that the management records were not very accurate and some of them were not accounted for. Also, some of the past and present tenants have withheld rent or have occupied their space at a reduced or a no rent basis. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 8 Councilmember Ruettimann requested a copy of a tenant lease be furnished for his review. He suggested that no rebate be made, but rather that the funds be credited against the tax delinquency . Councilmember Nawrocki observed that the taxes on the mall are current. Councilmember Ruettimann felt since both the mall and the business center are owned by the same company, his suggestion was appropriate. Councilmember Nawrocki stated that the property is not going tax delinquent, but rather is being foreclosed on. There will be new owners of both the mall and the business center. Councilmember Ruettimann said he is still in favor of honoring the Agreement with the new owners. He felt the HRA should have some time to remove its tenant rebate requirement and bring the matter back for further discussion at the next Council meeting. Discussion continued regarding the obligations of the owners to the tenants in both the business center and in the mall. Councilmember Nawrocki felt the owners have equal obligations to tenants of both facilities. He also stated that funds paid into the Tax Increment Debt Retirement pool cannot be used for a direct cash rebate on a tax reduction as has been requested by Zaidan Holdings, Inc. He noted that a loss could be taken by Zaidan Holdings, Inc., the lenders or Columbia Heights taxpayers. He felt the City's taxpayers should bear no financial responsiblity in this matter. Councilmember Ruettimann noted that the City does not have any cash available to pay the $50,000 refund being requested. He also noted that the decision to uphold the Amendment to the Assessment Agreement was denied by the Courts contrary to what has been said by the Zaidan Holdings representative. If the City and the HRA approve, the Amendment can be applied for in the future. Motion by Nawrocki that the City Council not concur in the reductions as recommended by the HRA Board. Motion dies for lack of a second. Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to table this matt�r, request it be returned to the HRA Board, and that the Board address the matters of the lease and with the 1992, 1993, and 1994 taxes. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING .tvf.A Y 2 6 , 1 9 9 2 PAGE 9 Councilmember Nawrocki inquired what the purpose is in sending this matter back to the HRA. Councilmember Ruettimann responded it is his intention for the HRA to return a different recommendation to the Council, noting that there are not funds available to pay Zaidan Holdings $50,000 and that a source should be explored or an abatement should be considered. Counci !member Nawrocki observed that the City Counci 1 has spent significantly more time on this issue than the HRA has. The Council has also received much more backup material and information regarding what is transpiring than the HRA ever has. Councilmember Peterson requested staff to get a print out of the affect a reduction of 92, 93, and 94 taxes would have. on the Tax Increment Debt Retirement Pool. Roll call: All ayes b.Repair to Columbia Park Parking Ramp Motion by Peterson, second by Ruettimann to approve the expenditure of up to $4,614.15 as the City share (19%) of the cost for the Columbia Park Clinic to have non-routine maintenance repairs to the Columbia Park Parking Ramp with work to be completed by Restoration Tech, Inc. in accordance with their bid to the Columbia Park Clinic. Roll call: All ayes c.Award of 1992 Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs, Project#9200 Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to award the 1992 Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs and Installations, Municipal Project #9200, to Advanced Concrete, Inc. of Burnsville, Mn., based upon their low formal ·bid of $30.301.86i and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same. Roll call: All ayes Councilmember Ruettimann inquired if residents would have the opportunity to use the services of this contractor. He was advised they could for projects such as curb replacement, garage aprons and sidewalks, but probably not for driveways. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 10 Noting the hundred day completion time, staff was requested to follow up on this in that this length of time could get into weather where concrete repairs may not be able to be done. d.Award of Chatham Road Lift Station Building ImprovementsProject #9114 The Public Works Supervisor advised the Council that the building is quite old and has experienced considerable deterioration. It is difficult to maintain and to work in. Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to authorize staff to award the Chatham Road Lift Station Building improvements, Municipal Project #9114, to Gilbert Mechanical Contractors, Inc. of Minneapolis, for a total cost of $23,400; and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. Roll call: all ayes e.Establish Wage for Director of Public Works Councilmember Nawrocki had some questions regarding the process used for hiring for this position and the salary negotiated. The City Manager gave some background of the person who has been offered the position and advised that the entry wage is at the 82.8% range. Motion by Peterson, second by Murzyn to approve a wage of $4,792 per month effective June 15, 1992, for Mark Winson as Director of Public Works/City Engineer. Roll call: All ayes 10.REPORTS a.Report of the City Manager The City Manager's report was submitted in writing and the following additional items were discussed: Fireworks Donations The City Manager advised that an additional $2,500 has been donated for the Fourth of July fireworks display. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 11 Alley -Central to Tyler, 46th to 47th Streets The City Manager has informally been advised that residents in the area of Central to Tyler, 46th to 47th Streets, are interested in having the alley, which is located south of the apartment buildings in the identified area, barricaded at its midpoint. These residents have indicated a willingness to clean this alley and to install a basketball court on a nearby parking lot. Many concerns were expressed regarding the use of this alley by motorists who wish to avoid the semiphore on 47th Avenue. Mayor Murzyn noted his support for barricading the alley at its midpoint and sees no use for it past the strip mall which fronts on Central Avenue. Councilmember Nawrocki had accompanied Fire Department personnel when the building on the north side of this alley was inspected. He suggested staff check into the area to see if any parking spaces will be impacted on if this alley is partially closed. He specifically mentioned that staff determine the access route to the apartment building's parking lot. The Public Works Superintendent mentioned that there are problems when this alley is plowed. Hilltop Police and Emergency Medical Contract A letter was received from Carl Newquist, Hilltop City Attorney, which addressed some concerns of Hilltop residents. He noted that their concerns focus on the emergency medical services rendered by Columbia Heights to situations involving intoxicated individuals. These types of calls have gotten more frequent and are quite costly. Mr. Newquist invited representatives of Columbia Heights to attend a Hilltop Council Meeting scheduled for June 1, 1992 to discuss these concerns. Transfer of Cable Franchise On June 10th at 7:00 p.rn. there will be a joint meeting of city councils and cable commissions for cities where there are North Central Cable Television franchises. This meeting will be held in Roseville. Representatives of the Meredith/Heritage Company, who is purchasing North Central Cable Television, will be attending the June 22nd Columbia Heights City Council Meeting. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 PAGE 12 S.A.C.A. House The City Manager advised that there is a substandard situation in the basement of the S.A.C.A. House. There is no water pressure and it is estimated that it will cost approximately $6,000 to replace the water 1 ine which comes in from the street. He requested direction from the Council. Mayor Murzyn felt more information was necessary before the Council could make a decision. Councilmember Nawrocki noted it should be remembered that the building was initially intended to be a temporary facility, not a permanent arrangement. All of its bills are paid by the City of Columbia Heights. Noting that the facility serves persons from other cities in Anoka County, Councilmember Nawrocki felt this may be the time for the operation to seek larger quarters. Weed Cutting Billing Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if there is pro-rating being done with the weed cutting billing. The City Manager responded that this is his understanding. He recalled that last year's billing contract reflected a one hour minimum. This year the billings are being pro-rated and are being verified by the Assistant Weed Inspector before they are authorized for payment. Appearance of 4522 Tyler Street Councilmember Nawrocki circulated a photo he had taken of the garage and surrounding area at 4522 Tyler Street.

ADJOURNMENT Motion by Nawrocki, second by Peterson to adjourn the meeting at 10:15 p.m. Roll call: All ayes Mayor Donald J. Murzyn, Jr. Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MEETING OF: June 8, 1992 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIG INA TING DEPARTMENT: CITY MGR NO: 6 CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL ITEM: RESOLUTION FOR COLLECTION OF WATER BY: S. W. ANDERSON Bi�JivNO: 6.A. TESTING FEE DATE: 06/05/92 At the City Council meeting of May 26, 1992, staff presented a proposed resolution requestingauthorization to collect the State-imposed fee of $5.21 for each water service connection in theCity. The discussion became sidetracked over the issue of testing for lead and copper in samplesto be taken from individual homes. In my view, two separate issues became fused into a singlediscussion. The uncertainty lead to tabling of the resolution. The following information isprovided to clarify the issue. I.Water Testing A.Please see the attached material which was published in the May 20, 1991, NationalLeague of Cities Newspaper. It gives a good overview of the EnvironmentalProtection Agency rule which requires testing of water. For cities the size ofColumbia Heights, testing must begin July 1, 1992. B.Please see the three page undated letter received January 3, 1992, from the MinnesotaDepartment of Health. The letter states that systems the size of Columbia Heights"must complete initial monitoring during two consecutive six-month periods by June30, 1993". To meet this mandate, we must begin testing July 1, 1992. Also, note onPage 2 of the letter "the Minnesota Department of Health will not be able to providethe laboratory support for this initial testing unless legislative approval of additionalfunding". C.Other cities are complying with the Federal rule. For example, see the attached articlefrom the Minnetonka City Newsletter explaining their test program. II.Water Service Fee A.The Minnesota Chapter of the American Water Works Association opposed the "perconnection fee". Their reasoning is stated in the attached material. They failed tostate that the cities could do the testing using a "certified laboratory" (see page 2 of theHealth Department letter); much cheaper than having the State impose a fee and/ordoing the testing. B.Please see the attached page taken from Chapter 513 of the 1992 Legislative SessionLaws. See Section 3, subdivisions 1, 2, and 3 of the law. It clearly states the revenuecollection authority, but is silent on what service, if any, will be provided. That maybe in another chapter, but I could not locate it. Continued COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MEETING OF: June 8, 1992 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MGR NO: 6 CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL ITEM: RESOLUTION FOR COLLECTION OF WATER BY: S. W. ANDERSON BY: NO: TESTING FEE DA TE: 06/05/92 Page 2 It is clear that the City must test water samples and pay the State $5.21 for each water service. It is unclear as to whether the State will provide any testing and/or other service for their newly disguised tax called a service connection fee. When the water rate was last increased in an effort to stop the monetary losses to the Water Fund, it was basically a break even rate which established. The advantage of imposing the $5.21 fee in a lump sum and advising the citizens that it is State fee is that it does not damage the financial condition of the Water Fund. If we pay the fee, approximately $36,000 annually, it will eventually have to be made up with an increase in the water rates. The Council takes the criticism for the rate increase rather than the Federal and State governments. I again recommend passage of the resolution. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 92-__ ; being a resolution for Collection of Annual Water Testing Fee for the State Department of Health. COUNCIL ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. � RESOLUTION FOR COLLECTION OF ANNUAL WATER TESTING FEE FOR TI-IE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WHEREAS, the Department of Health has been authorized to assess an annual fee of $5.21 for every service connection to a public water supply, and WHEREAS, the public water supply operator (City) is to collect the fees and remit said fees to the State on a quarterly basis. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY TI-IE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS: 1.That the fee be placed on the utility bill as an annual fee. 2.That it be clearly delineated on the utility bill that this is State water testing fee. BE IT FURTIIER RESOLVED that the above fee will be collected on an annual basis on all billings after July 1, 1992.

'. :\' I Lead testing will begin The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established national drinking water standards that place strict limits on the amount of lead that is allowed to exist in domestic drinking water. City of Minnetonka drinking water is obtained from deep wells. The City's system is frequently tested and has always been found to be free from lead contamination. However, it is possible that through the use of copper piping, brass fixtures and lead solder in household plumbing, the water within a household could develop a lead concentration. The Operations and Maintenance Department is cooperating with the EPA and the Minnesota State Health Depar tment in determining whether or not that potential has developed within a random sampling of homes in the City of Minnetonka. Owners of a group of 104 homes, built within the last 10 years, have been asked to cooperate with the City in t!lis testing program. Homes built after 1986 are not suspect because lead solder was not used in pipe jointing after that date. Homes built between 1982 and 1986 are the most likely candidates to develop a lead Testing (continued on Pl!te three) Testing (contintued from page one) contamination problem: therefore, they were included in the sampling. It is highly unlikely that any of the homes within the sampling will exceed the levels set as a safe threshold for total lead contaminants; however, this will not be known until the sampling is finished. This program is part of a nationwide program which includes older utilities, some of which have lead piping and jointing material within the distribution system and some whose water is taken from surface waters or reservoirs which might contain lead concentrations. This is not the case in Minnetonka. An initial inspection of these homes is being conducted during April and May of this year. The actual sampling will take place In July and be repeated early in 1993. The results of this sampling will be published in this newsletter early in 1993. Again, Minnetonka's water sources (deep wells) have never shown a lead level and no concentration is expected to be found within the homes tested. � 't , I -·, , Minnesota Department of Health Division of Environmental Health 925 Delaware Street Southeast P.O.

These regulations establish a treatment technique that may include: 1)corrosion control treatment,2)source water treatment,3)lead service line replacement, and4)public education. Medium-size water systems (serving 3,301 -50,000 persons) musbtoiirjiiete initial monitoring during two consecutive six-month monitoring periods by Jdrre�9.IT1-9:9� Sample site selection must commence with a i@ge�#efflm e�.wa:961i::'Jefi�Js.:t.2��:Jin order to identify a pool of targetedsampTfng sites. This process must e accomplished by 11.'iffieE"u�, under the present timeline. The sites selected for the sampling pool must meet the . criteria listed in 40 CFR 141.86(ar, which is summarized in Attachment 1. This materials evaluation step is critical to the monitoring strateg y and must be accomplished with care in order that high-risk locations are properly identified for the initial monitoring period. EPA has released a draft guidance manual that provides additional information for identifying highrisk sites. Selected guidance from this draft guidance manual is provided as Attachment 2. National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Page 2 The Minnesota Department of Health will not be able to provide the laboratory support for this initial testing unless legislative approval of additional funding is approved during the 1992 session. Assuming that action on this funding request will not be completed until April, 1992, all water systems should'budget local funds and contact private laboratories that are certified by the state to perform lead and copper analysis by the required methods. The list of certified laboratories will be provided by the department's Division of Public Health Laboratories upon request. If funding is approved by the legislature for the initial lead and copper monitoring program, the department will notify each water system and provide further information on laboratory submittal procedures. Medium-size water systems must also measure specific water quality parameters at taps and at each entry point to the distribution system if the tap water monitoring results exceed the action levels for lead or copper during the base monitoring period (July 1992 -June 1993) and after installation of optimal corrosion control treatment. Since pH measurements must be made at sample' taps and "entry points, access to a.portable field instrument will be required. If corrosion control studies are required for your water system, they must be conducted by all medium-size water systems by July 1, 1995, and additional follow-up sampling is mandated by January 1, 1999. Reporting requirements for tap water monitoring are identified in 40 CFR141.90(a). When tap sampling results are reported to the state, the sampling site location and criteria under which the site was selected for the system's sampling pool must also be ,reported. Great attention to keeping accurate records will insure that follow-up tap sampling will be conducted at the same locations. An example reporting form will be developed and provided prior to the commencement of the initial monitoring period. A copy of the final rules for lead and copper are provided for your information and review (Attachment 3).

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS MEETING OF: June 8. 1992 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: NO: 6 CITY MANAGER'S ITEM: NO: GRANT APPLICATION FOR EXPANDED SHARED 6, e. RIDE PROGRAM BY: DATE: Ve have received notice from the Regional Transit Board that grant applications for calendar year 1993 are due in their offices no later than Wednesday, July 1, 1992. The method of transit assistance funding in 1993 will be fixed shared funding, as was the case in 1992. Under fixed share funding, the Regional Transit Board would provide funding for 60% of the total operating cost. The remaining 40% can be comprised of any combination of local funds, including, but not limited to, ticket sales, farebox revenue, local taxes, and donations. Based on preliminary discussions with staff at Anoka County, it appears that the county may again be providing monies to offset the remaining 40% which is not recovered through ticket sales. The City of Cplumbia Heights would continue to administer the program. If the City wishes to continue this program in 1993, the attached resolution needs to be adopted and forwarded, along with the grant application, to the Regional Transit Board by July 1, 1992.

This year we applied again for the grant on the assumption we would have a Tree Board in place. Our application is tentatively approved for one of the $5,000 grants which is the maximum.

Nygaard� BY: DATE: June 4, 1992 G-1/-,,_ A request by Graphic House, Inc. on behalf of Big Wheel Rossi, 4239 Central Avenue was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and denied at the meeting of June 2, 1992. The request was for a seven (i) foot front yard setback variance from the 15 foot setback requirement for a freestanding sign to allow them to utilize an existng pole on the property. On July 13, 1993 all non-conforming signs must be brought into conformance with the Sign Ordinance under a second moratorium imposed April 25, 1988. The Building Department has required all new signs on existing properties to conform to the Sign Ordinance. When the lotsplit of this property was approved, a site plan was submitted which showed designated parking areas that would provide a triangle area by the front entrance that would not be in the traffic pattern and an area on the extreme north corner just before the driveway easement area begins that would allow the sign to be erected within the Ordinance. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Moved to deny the seven (7) foot front yard setback variance request of Graphic House for the Big Wheel Rossi store, 4239 Central Avenue. Moved to approve the seven (7) foot front yard setback variance request of Graphic House for the Big Wheel Rossi store at 4239 Central Avenue.

Dan Garcia of 4641 Tyler St. N.E. was present at the meeting and said there used to be a stop sign at the corner of Tyler and 47th Ave. It was removed and has never been replaced. He felt putting the stop sign back up would certainly help to cut down on speeding in the area. Officer Dietz indicated that he remembered a stop sign in place at that corner and at a Crime Watch Meeting as many as 45 residents remembered that a stop sign had been in place at this corner. He will provide a copy of the minutes from that meeting. Staff indicated that the stop sign is not shown on the City Counci�'s adopted sign map. Commission members hoped the City Council would amend the map and put a stop sign on Tyler St. N.E. at 47th Ave. without a Public Hearing. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to install a stop sign at the corner of Tyler St. and 47th Ave., stopping traffic on Tyler St. based on the recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

The north edge of the garage is about 18 1/2' from 45th Ave. City policy has been to restrict driveway entrances in residential areas to 50' from the curb line of an intersecting street. Mr. Fearon is requesting a variance to allow a driveway to be installed less than 50' from the corner of Van Buren St. and 45th Ave. N.E. There is a stop sign on Van Buren St. N.E. and 45th Ave. N.E. The curb is painted yellow for 30' from the stop sign. Staff recommends that the north side of the driveway apron be placed a minimum of 20' from the stop sign. This will allow one car to be at the stop sign without obstructing the driveway. This will require the property owner to angle the new driveway from the entrance towards the garage. This also meets Mn/DOT standards that driveway entrances be a minimum of 30' from an intersection with a major road. Mr. Fearon was present at the meeting and questioned why he would have to angle his driveway. He felt it would be added cost for more concrete and would change the aesthetics of his pr�perty. Commission members agreed with Mr. Fearon. RECOMMENDED MOTION: St. N.E. to install north than the north Commission.

Roll Call: All ayes. B.RE-�UEST TO INSTALL "WATCH FOR CHILDREN" SIGNS ON45TH AVE. N.E. FROM TAYLOR ST. TO 200' EAST OFFILLMORE ST. Officer Dietz was present to discuss his concernsover traffic that travels up and down the hill inthat area at a high rate of speed. People use thestreet for a walkway because there are no sidewalksin the area. Possible solutions are "Watch For Children" signsat the top and bottom of the hill and possiblyrestricting parking on 45th Ave. where the roadnarrows. People who abuse their driving privileges don't payany attention to these signs. These signs could give a false sense of security to parents with small children in the neighborhood. Restricting parking is an option but no one wants it in front of where they live. The Commission directed Officer Dietz to talk further with residents and see if they are truly interested in restricting parking and what kind of solutions they can come up with. The Commission suggested a petition be prepared and presented to the Traffic Commission. Motion by Clerkin, seconded by Goodman, to deny the request to install "Watch For Children" signs on 45th Ave. Roll Call: All ayes. Motion by Clerkin, seconded by Goodman, to table the request to restrict parking on 45th Ave. N.E. until residents in the area submit a petition. Roll Call: All ayes. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION JUNE 1, 1992 PAGE 4 C.REQUEST TO INSTALL WARNING SIGNS ON 45 1/2 AVE. Officer Dietz was approached by Sue Torgerson of 1303 45 1/2 Ave. concerning activity around Keyes Park. People are speeding through the area. The lighting is very poor in the mid-block area also. Possible solutions are to install "Playground Ahead" signs in the cul-de-sac area of the park or "Watch For Children" signs at the intersection of 45 1/2 Ave. and Fillmore St. The street from Fillmore to the end of the cul-desac is approximately 720'. This qualifies the street for a mid-block light. Staff will contact NSP to have a mid-block light installed. Motion by Goodman, seconded by Clerkin, to install a "Playground Ahead" sign 100' west of the west edge of Keyes Park. Roll Call: All ayes. D.REQUEST TO INSTALL WARNING SIGNS AND A STOP SIGN ONTYLER ST. BETWEEN 46TH AND 47TH AVENUES. Officer Dietz discussed speeding on Tyler St. between 46th and 47th Avenues. Dan Garcia of 4641 Tyler St. N.E. was present at the meeting and said there used to be a stop sign at the corner of Tyler and 47th Ave. It was removed and has never been replaced. He felt putting the stop sign back up would certainly help to cut down on speeding in the area. Officer Dietz indicated that he remembered a stop sign in place at that corner and at a Crime Watch Meeting as many as 45 residents remember that a stop sign had been in place at this corner. He will provide a copy of the minutes from that meeting. Staff indicated that the stop sign is not shown on the City Council's adopted sign map. Commission members felt the City Council may want to amend the map and put a sign back up on Tyler. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION JUNE 1, 1992 PAGE 5 Motion by Goodman, seconded by Clerkin, that as Officer Dietz remembers a sign being up in the past (currently it is not there), that approval be given to forego a Public Hearing and put the stop sign back in place at the corner of Tyler St. and 47th Ave. Roll Call: All ayes. Another suggestion was to add "Watch For Children" signs in the area. Again, the consensus of the Commission was that those who speed aren't going to pay any attention to those signs, Motion by Goodman, seconded by Clerkin, to deny the "Watch For Children" signs on Tyler St. at 46th and 47th Avenues. Roll Call: All ayes. Another area of concern expressed by Officer Dietz is people cutting through the alley off of Tyler St. south of 47th Ave. to circumvent the light at 4 7th and Central. The Council is looking at closing this alley during the summer months to provide a play area for children. Businesses in the area would like to see the alley closed off. The Police Department has permission to clean up the area. Motion by Goodman, seconded by Clerkin, to recommend the Council pursue closing the alley from 46th Ave. N.E. to 47th Ave. N.E., Central Ave. to Tyler St. N.E� Roll Call: All ayes.

DATE: June 4, 1992 Attached is a copy of a letter from Mitch DeMars, representing Immaculate Conception Church, 4030 Jackson Street, requesting permission to install temporary signage consisting of a four by eight portable sign on the south portion of the church parking lot/playground adjacent to the fence on 40th Avenue. The purpose of the sign is to advertise the ICC Fun Fest which is being held on August 8-9, 1992. The request for the portable sign are for the days of July 27-August 7, 1992. Staff feels that allowing more than the normal five day time period for the disply of temporary signage would set a precedent that would greatly hinder the enforcement process. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to deny the temporary sign request for Immaculate Conception Church, 4030 Jackson Street, as the request exceeds the five-day time limitation for display of temporary signage. Motion to approve the temporary sign request for Immaculate Conception Church, 4030 Jackson Street, for the dates of July 27-August 7, 1992 provided the $100 deposit is submitted to the City to assure that the signage is removed by August 8, 1992.

The purpose of the sign is to advertise the ICC Fun Fest which is being held on August 8th and 9th this year. It is hoped the sign can be placed as soon as possible.

Nygaard� DATE: June 4, 1992 Attached is a copy of a letter from Big Vh.e�l Rossi, 4239 Central Avenue, requesting the use of temporary signage consisting of wall banners, sandwich board portable signs, and an inflatable sign at the front of the property (see attached drawing for locations). The dates proposed for the temporary signage is June 9-13, 1992. Big Vb.eel Rossi has violated the Sign Ordinance since they have moved into the building approximately mid-May. The Building Inspector warned the store shortly after their occupancy to remove a freestanding sandwich board sign by the curb. She informed them of the requirements for temporary signage. The store representative also called the Permit Clerk for procedures for temporary sign approval. On May 28, 1992 the store again displayed banners without the required permission and were given a written violation notice to remove the banners immediately. As of this date, the banners are still displayed on the front and north sides of the building. Staff does not feel they can approve the request for temporary signage for Big Vheel Rossi because of their continuous violation of the Sign Ordinance since they have moved into the building. By allowing them to continue displaying additional temporary signage for a longer length of time, the City would be setting a precedent. It is already increasingly difficult to keep up with the number of violations which are occurring almost daily. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Moved to deny the request of Big Vheel Ros-si, 4239 Central Avenue, for temporary signage from June 9-13, 1992. Moved to approve the request of Big Vheel Rossi, 4239 Central Avenue, for temporary signage from June 9-13, 1992 provided a $100 deposit is submitted to the City to assure the removal of the temporary signage by June 14, 1992.

They are holding their Second Annual Neighborhood Block Party on Saturday, June 27, 1992, from 4:00 -8:00 PM on Highland Place. The alternate date, in case of rain, is August 15, 1992. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the request submitted by Gary & Kay Mayer of 2115 Highland Place to conduct a Second Annual Neighborhood Block Party on Saturday, June 27, 1992, (August 15, 1992, in case of rain) from 4:00 -8:00 PM, with barricades being placed at both ends of Highland Place. COUNCIL ACTION: June 5, 1992 To The Columbia Heights City Council, We would like to hold our 2nd Annual Neighborhood Block Party on Saturday, June 27th, 1992 from 4 to 8 p.m. on Highland Place. We feel that this brings our neighborhood closer together in friendship and it makes all of us more aware of "Watching Out For Each Other". The residents of Highland Place had a successful block party last summer and would like to include more of the neighborhood along with new residents that may have moved in this past year. The alternative date we have chosen, in case of rain, is Saturday, August 15th, 1992. We would like barricades on both ends of Highland Place from 4 to 8 p.m. Thank You For Your Consideration Sincerely Gary and Kay Mayer A� �VJz� �15 Zland Place Columbia Heights, Mn CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of June 8, 1992 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 9 Recreation Department APPROVAL ITEM: 4th of July Celebration BY: Mark S. Casey BY: � � , ,rv NO: q.A.DATE: June 2, 1992 �/) Awarding of Fireworks Bid Bids were sent to four fireworks companies, two responded back. Councilmember Ruettimann reviewed both and felt Americana Fireworks Display Company was the better of the two. Staff spoke with firework's display professionals and they felt $5,000 would give an adequate fireworks display lasting approximately 20 to 25 minutes. The bids were sent out at a minimum of $5,000 plus the option to add-on if additional funding became available. In 1990 the fireworks display costed $7,500. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move and second to contract with Americana Fireworks Display Company for the 4th of July display at a cost of $5,000 based on quality and quantity and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a contract for same. STREET CLOSING In order to provide a safety area for the 4th of July fireworks, staff is requesting that 39th Avenue between Jefferson and Fifth Street and Mill Street between 40th Avenue and the east driveway of the police parking lot be closed from 7:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m. and that no parking be allowed on said streets from 5:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m. Captain Leonard Olson and Fire Chief Charles Kewatt have no objection to this request. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move and second to close 39th Avenue between Jefferson and 5th Streets and Mill Street between 40th Avenue and the east driveway of the police parking lot from 7:00 p.m.to 11:00 pm and that no parking be allowed on said streets between 5:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEJGHTS TO: � MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: TUART W. ANDERSON, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT DATE: IUNE 5, 1992 1)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS-- 10.A. During the month of May, staff utilized the hours of community service workers as indicated below: Administration/City Hall . . . . 62:10 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey Fire . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13:00 hours -Anoka/Hennepin/Ramsey 75:10 hours -Total 2)SHARED RIDE RECAP-- See attached Shared Ride Expansion and Origination -Destination reports for April, 1992. 3)METROPOLITAN CLINIC OF COUNSELING-- I have renewed our annual contract with the Metropolitan Clinic of Counseling for employee assistance program services to our employees. This contract extension cost $921.50 for the basic coverage; maximum exposure would not exceed $1,843. This item is budgeted for in the 1992 and 1993 budget. 4)ED CARLSON-- We learned that former Mayor Ed Carlson suffered a heart attack on Tuesday, June 2, and is in Unity Hospital. As of this writing, we have no firm information on his condition. 5)DOWNTOWN TREE GRATF.s-- In the downtown area, we have metal grates in the sidewalk where trees are planted. We also have wrought iron fence around the trees. These have had no maintenance in many years. The fences around the trees have all been removed and taken to the shop. The grates have all been steel-brushed, primed, and repainted. They look very attractive at this time. The fences will need to be sandblasted prior to painting. At this time, no funds are available for that project. I'll determine when we can get them up at a later date. 6)WEED SPRAYING-- The new chemical spray vehicle has been delivered and we have been using it in the parks. Attached to this report is a memo from Don Jolly explaining the improved productivity using the vehicle. Also, this MANAGER'S REPORT Page 2 June 5, 1992 year we are using the same chemical as we have in the past except Federal rules require that the manufacturer put an odor ingredient in the product. Also, we are required to place small warning signs that a chemical has been sprayed on the lawn. These signs generated two or three inquiries. The product is safe as being used. 7)FIREFIGHTER RESIGNATION-- Lance Sanetra resigned from the Fire Department effective June 12. He has accepted an assignment as Firefighter/Medic for the St. Paul Fire Department. As this is one of the positions identified as a potential area of budget reduction, no replacement will be authorized until the 1993 budget has been established. 8)MATHAIRE/INNSBRUCK WATERLINE CONSTRUCTION-- In the past few days, there has been some inquiries from Council Members about the restoration needed in the Mathaire/Innsbruck area for the waterline construction of last Fall. The requirement was to complete the work by June 1, 1992. After that time, there is a $150 per day penalty. Staff has made substantial photographs of the area. The status on June 1 was that there was some clean up and some resodding left to do although they had done a lot of the work over the previous weekend. At the time of this writing, most of the work has been done; however, there is some minor clean up to be done. In addition, there are some bushes to be replaced in two locations, but the property owners have not identified the shrubs they want replaced so this cannot be held against the contractor. We did, however, serve the contractor on June 2, 1992, advising him that we were making a claim against the hold-back money because of his failure to meet the deadline. 9)JOHN P. MURZYN HALL-- Attached is a memo from Mark Casey indicating the Park and Recreation Commission had established a Monday through Thursday closing time of 10:30 PM unless arrangements had been made in the past. This action was necessary to control our custodial staff hours, who on many occasions have had to wait a long period of time while the last one or two people got done with their informal visiting long after the official business had been completed. 10)LIBRARY RECARPETING-- Just a reminder that the adult section of the library will be closed from June 6 -13, 1992. This recarpeting project is requiring a lot of volunteer assistance from both individuals and the business community. Burger Transfer has graciously provided a 40' trailer for use for 10 days to store books while the recarpeting is being carried out. McDonalds and Hardees have provided treats for the workers and Rainbow Foods have provided an enormous number of boxes to assist us in packing and moving of the books. As of this writing, everything looks on schedule. We are pleased with the great planning that Becky and the Library Board have accomplished to date. 11)JAMBOREE FIREWORKS-- There was some discussion that the Lions might have a fireworks display on Saturday night, June 27, as part of the Jamboree. After meeting with the Fire Department and other City staff members, it was determined that an appropriate saf ecy zone could not be established with the carnival in place. There will be no fireworks at the Jamboree. MANAGER'S REPORT Page 3 June 5, 1992 12)MINNFSOTA LAND ACQUISITION TRUST-- Legislature established a program in which units of government could own land on which a private house was built. The purpose of this was to reduce the total cost that a low-income family would need to purchase a home of their own. The rules have not been propagated for this program and it is estimated that the rulemaking process will take at least five months. Don Schneider is monitoring the program and will, at the appropriate time, advise us if this is something that the City may wish to pursue. 13)CLASSIFICATION OF ROADWAYS-- Attached please find a memo from Kathy Young explaining that much of the arterial roads are going to be divided into an A and B system. I believe her memo is self-explanatory. Note the last paragraphs that indicates if we are interested in suggesting roads for an A classification, we must make our interest known by June 30. If you have some suggestions on this topic, we would be pleased to discuss them at the Council Meeting during the City Manager's Report. 14)NORTH METRO MAYORS ASSOCIATION DUES STRUCTURE-- Over the years, there has been discussions and difficulties over developing a proper fee structure because some communities belong to only the Mayors Association, some communities belong only to the Development Association, and some belong to both. Attached is a proposed schedule for the next five years which will be dealt with at the Board of Directors meeting on June 24, 1992. The result of this proposal is that cities like Columbia Heights who are members of both organizations will not have a dues increase for the next five years unless there is a growth of the entire organization's budget. Those cities known as fixed contributors who only belong to one of the organizations will experience a gradual increase in their dues so that they will be more in line with what the other cities like Columbia Heights are paying. If you have any questions, I'll try to deal with them at the Council meeting. 15)LEAGUE OF MINNFSOTA CITIFS DUES-- I previously sent out to the Council a cover letter and one page showing the proposed dues for the City of Columbia Heights. Unless I hear feedback opposing this action, I will assume that this is to be the amount budgeted for 1993 as a participant in the League.

After only one week of spraying, we have seen some remarkable results with this new equipment. We were able to spray 3,000 gallons of weed control in five days. This is about a 38% increase in productivity. In other words, what used to take 7 days for one person, we did in 5 days. Also, the operator can now apply the product with the hand gun reaching areas where a second person had to be used in the past. Finally, the mixing time for the proper spraying rate is cut in half because of the computerized applicator. This allows for more even distribution and a savings on the chemicals. We still have three parks to treat yet and did get a late start on spraying because of the transition from the old equipment to the new that required training.

Approximately 1,000 of the 1,500 miles currently designated as arterials will receive the "A" classification. The city can nominate an arterial that is not within its jurisdiction (i.e., Co. Rd. 2 or T.H. 47). The City must be willing to reconstruct the streets to meet State Aid standards with Federal Aid funds. The impact on the required widths for the streets appears to be minimal. More detailed information can be provided to the Council if there is interest in nominating any of the streets for the "A" system. The deadline for nominating the "A" minor arterials is June 30th.
