STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION FINDINGS OF FACT AND PURPOSE
9.301.1 Statutory Authorization: The Legislature of the State of Minnesota has, in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103F and 462.351 et. seq. (zoning enabling statute) delegated the responsibility to local government units to adopt regulations designed to minimize flood losses. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota does ordain as follows:
9.301.2 Finding of Fact:
9.301.21 The flood hazard areas of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, are subject to periodic inundation which results in potential loss of life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
9.301.22 Methods used to analyze flood hazards. This ordinance is based ·,,upon a reasonable method of analyzing flood hazards which is co·nsistent with the standards established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
9.301.3 Statement of Purpose: It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare and to minimize those losses described in 9.301.21 by provisions contained herein.
GENERAL PROVISION
9.302.1 Land to Which Ordinance Applies: This ordinance shall apply to al 1 lands within the jurisdiction of the City of Columbia Heights shown on �he Official Zoning Map and/or the attachments thereto as being located within the boundaries of the Floodway, Flood Fringe, or General Flood Plain District.

The Official Zoning Map shall be on file in the Office of the City Clerk and the Zoning Administrator.
9.302.3 Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation: The Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation shall be an elevation no longer than one foot above the elevation of the regional flood plus and increases in flood elevation caused by encroachments on the flood plain that result from designation of a floodway.
9.302.4 Interpretation: In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Governing Body and shall not be deemed a 1 imitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statute.

9.302.42 The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be determined by scaling districts on the Official Zoning Map. Where interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the boundaries of the district as shown on the Official Zoning Map, as for exampJe where there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions, and there is a formal appeal of the decision of the Zoning Administrator, the Board of Adjustment shall make the necessary interpretation. All decisions will be based on elevations on the regional (100-year) flood profile and other available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the district boundaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their case to the Board and to submit technical evidence.
9.302.5 Abrogation and Greater Restrictions: It is not intended by this ordinance to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing easements, covenants, or deed restrictions, the provisions of the ordinance shall prevail. All other ordinances are hereby repealed to the extent of the inconsistency only.

CITY MGR
APPROVAL
Stuart Anderson has been the Director of Civil Defense since 1979 and is retiring on March 31,
1993. Mr. Anderson has recommended to Mayor Murzyn that the City Manager be appointed as
the Director of Civil Defense. The reason for this is that under the City Ordinance when the City
declares a state of emergency, the Director of Civil Defense becomes the Chief Executive Officer
to serve the Mayor. Having anyone other than the City Manager in this position would disrupt
the normal chain of command. By appointing the City Manager as the Director of Civil Defense,
the chain of command for the staff would not be interrupted during an emergency. There would
be no additional compensation for this appointment.
The primary work required by federal law, state law, and the city ordinance would be carried out
by the Deputy Director of Civil Defense which is a new position. The Deputy Director would
also become our certified director to keep us qualified for partial reimbursement of Civil Defense
staff expenses. The duties also include keeping up the emergency plan, exercising the staff and
carrying out all of the everyday details associated with Civil Defense and Emergency Manage
ment. The Mayor has selected Chief Charles Kewatt for this position. With the increasing risk
and training requirements surrounding hazardous materials, selection of the Fire Chief is a very
logical move. Since 1979, the City has compensated the lead worker in Civil Defense, in this case,
the Deputy Director, at the rate of $3,000 annually. Appointments in Civil Defense are subject
to the approval and consent of the City Council.

ITEM: WATER AND SEWER RATE INCREASE BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY: c;1JS: q) NO: 6.6. DATE: MARCH 16, 1993 )/\�--
At the City Council work session on March 15, 1993, water and sewer rate increases and the transfer
of funds from the Water Utility Operating Fund to the Capital Construction Fund were �ed.
The consensus of the Council was to transfer $140,000 from the Water Operating Fund to the Water
Capital Replacement Fund. Effective January 1, 1993, the City of Minneapolis is raising rates by 8%
for the water Columbia Heights purchases from Minneapolis. It is staffs recommendation to
increase the City's current water rate by 8%, which equals a 10-Cent increase per 100 cu.ft. This will
compensate for the increase in water cost from Minneapolis and aid in building a reserve for
improvements to the water system.
The City Council also discussed increasing sewer utility rates. The consensus of the City Council
was to increase sewer rates by 12%, which equals a 14-cent increase per 100 cu.ft.
Attached are summary pro forma income statements reflecting the effect that these increases will
have on the net income in the sewer and water fund. As reflected in the water fund pro form.a, this
will start to build a reserve fund. In the sewer fund, the current reserve will be maintained.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 93--__ there being ample
copies available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 93--__ being a resolution setting rates
on sewage disposal and water supply in the City of Columbia Heights.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize a transfer of $140,000 from Unreserved Retained
Earnings in the Water Utility Operating Fund to the Water Utility Capital Replacement Fund.

AGENDA SECTION: Ordinances & Resolutions ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 6 Building Inspections APPROVAL
ITEM: Proposed 19�3 Permit Fee Schedule BY: Evelyn Nygaard'->---BY: �1:q-V
NO: 6. C. I. DATE: March 19, 1993
Attached is the proposed 1993 fee schedule for building construction, plumbing and gas piping, heating and cooling, fire suppression, demolition, moving, signs and other related construction work. The fee schedule that is currently being used was established in 1982 and the basis used was the 1979 Uniform Building Code fee schedule.
The Building Department has recently purchased a computer program from Banyan Data Systems. The program is being designed to fit our specific needs and requirements. After reviewing our current fee schedule and methodology of computing fees, the program designers informed us that our methodology was too cumbersome to be used by the computer. Too many variables are involved in our current system.
Ve have, therefore, completely reorganized the method of figuring the fees to be able to make the system workable. The end result should provide adequate income to cover expenses.
The proposed fee schedule is based on the 1988 Uniform Building Code as adopted by the State of Minnesota and the City of Columbia Heights.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of ·the resolution there being ample copies available to the public.
Move to adopt Resolution 93-, Being a resolution establishing 1993 fee schedules for building construction, plumbing/gas piping, heating/cooling, fire suppression, wrecking and moving, signs and other related construction work.

ITEM: Amendment to Proposed Permit Fee BY: Evelyn Nygaard� BYS �, 1 )
NO: Schedule Concerning Issuance of 1,-\ Electrical Permits DATE: March 19, 1993
Electrical permit fees were not included in the fee schedule adopted in 1982. They were set by the State Board of Electricity of the State of Minnesota and they are still set by the State Board of Electricity.
We currently have a contract with Dennis Joriman who is a State certified Electrical Inspector, to do the electrical inspection on a contract basis for 80% of the permit fees. We handle and monitor the issuing and tracking of the permits, plus having to have Mr. Joriman on the payroll. The City also pays to have our own permit forms printed at our expense. I do not feei that we break even on this situation and the fee schedule that the State mandates is not compatible with the computer system being designed.
I recommend having the State Board of Electricity assume the permitting and tracking of electrical permits for the City of Columbia Heights as they now do for a number of cities such as Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Coon Rapids.
The service to the citizens of Columbia Heights would not really change. We would still provide the permit applications for $1 as we now do (we pay $1 for the forms from the State), instead of mailing the permit application to us, the contractor mails the permit application to the State. The State then gives the inspection request to the inspector handling the area instead of our office doing the same. We will still be appaised of work in progress by the State Inspector.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the removal o� Electrical Permits from the current fee schedule and that the State Board of Electricity be the issuing authority for all future electrical permits for the City of Columbia Heights effective June 1, 1993.

The HRA/City has been invited by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency(MHFA) to participatein the 1993-1994 Minnesota City Participation Program(MCPP) first time homebuyer program.Since starting to participate in this yearly program in 1991, 39 loans have been made for atotal of $2,460,000. These loans, with reduced interest rates, have enabled 39 low tomoderate income first time homebuyer families to purchase homes in Columbia Heights.
Under the MHFA MCPP, HRA's and/or cities may apply for an allocation of up to $4,000,000 forproviding loans to first time homebuyers in their communities at reduced interest rates (1to 1 1/2% below market mortgage interest rates). The current rate for the 1992-93 program is6.65%. The rate for the new program will depend on the rate secured through the MHFA sale ofbonds to finance the program.
This year, based on past experience and cost factors involved in the application for thefunds, the HRA has decided to apply for $1,249,999. This should provide sufficient mortgagemoney through participating lenders for 20 loans at an average amount of $62, 35.0 per loan.
Information on the program and a copy of the proposed application, as approved by the Housingand Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners on March 10, are enclosed for yourinformation as Appendix "A" and "B".
The HRA will furnish the necessary $200.00 processing fee and the necessary 1% proposaldeposit which will be refunded upon sale of the bonds for the program.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to grant approval(concurrence) for the Housing and RedevelopmentAuthority to apply for an allocation of up to $1,249,999 from the Minnesota Housing FinanceAgency Minnesota City Participation Program (First Time Homebuyer Program) and, if successfulin securing an allocation, to provide the necessary City/HRA involvement in the program.

From: Michael Hale�' LDirector of HoHrtgage Programs
Subject: Announcement and Applications for Funding, The Minnesota City Participation Program
INTRODUCTION:
The Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (Agency) is pleased to both announce and request applications for the 1993 Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP). Through the MCPP, the Agency may sell mortgage revenue bonds on behalf of cities to meet locally identified housing needs. The proceeds of these bonds provide below market interest rate home mortgage loans for low and moderate income first time homebuyers. This resource provides cities throughout the state with a unique opportunity to easily access housing resources to meet the needs of their citizens.
BACKGROUND:
In the past, authority for mortgage revenue bonds has been allocated by statute between the state and local governments. Over the years, the mortgage revenue bond authority that was available· for local governments was used by relatively few cities. Many cities in need of mortgage revenue bond funds to finance single family housing were not able to devote the resources necessary to either sell bonds of their own accord or participate in a joint issue structured for several local government entities.
In 1990, state lawmakers passed legislation to authorize a new option for accessing mortgage revenue bond financing. Under the MCPP, the Agency may access local government mortgage revenue bond authority to sell bonds on behalf of cities that identify local housing needs. The MCPP offers participating cities throughout the state several adv antages: •Cities may obtain program funds tn amounts that fit their needs, especially smallercities.
•Cities may identify their own housing goals to meet locally identified needs. Thesegoals may be as wide or as narrow as the city determines as long as borrowers

and properties are eligible for mortgage revenue bond financing and the program is financially viable.
•Cities may establish house price limits higher than Agency program limits if thelocal market dictates. Furthermore, cities may establish adjusted income limits up
to 80% of HUD area median income.
•Agency staff may provide cities with administrative support both pertaining to the
bond sale and to the operation of the program.
•The Agency will incur bond issuance expenses that would have normally been
incurred by cities selling their own bonds. Cities must only cover a modest
allocation processing fee.
•Local mortgage lenders are familiar with Agency program administration.
•The Agency will provide access to its Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF) for
participating cities. HAF provides monthly payment and entry cost (i.e.,
downpayment and closing cost) assistance to more modest income homebuyers.
•The Agency will provide communities with individualized program marketing
support to enhance each program's probability of success.
FUNDS AVAILABLE:
As of the date of this malling, mortgage revenue bonds may not be Issued as the legal authority for such Issuance expired as of June 30,
1992 and a tax blll authorizing their Issuance has not been passed by
Congress and signed by the President. It Is anti cipated that the authority
to Issue these bonds wlll be renewed by the Congress this year, but the
timing for this renewal Is uncertain. The most optimistic projections for their
renewal is for the President to sign a tax bill by late spring or early summer. However,
it is possible that this matter may not be resolved until fall.
Notwithstanding the above, state legislation provides for allocation of bonding
authority as described here.in. It is likely that legislation will have to be considered
during this legislative session to deal with the current interruption in the ability to sell
mortgage revenue bonds. Until such legislation is considered, it is important to assume that the status quo will be maintained as far as allocation of mortgage revenue
bond resources. It is unknown whether legislation dealing with this matter will have
any impact on this process, but the Agency intends to propose that the allocation of
resources made under this letter and in accordance with current law be maintained.
Under current state law, the local housing pool for mortgage revenue bonds is
anticipated to be approximately $43 million doll ars. Cities may apply for a maximum set-aside in the amount of $4 million or 20% of the bond authority that is available for
mortgage revenue bonds after the first Monday in April, whichever is less. A minimum
application amount of $250,000 is required. Cities are encouraged to consider
the amount of their request carefully, and only to request authority In the amount necessary to meet their local housing objectives.
Prior to selling bonds, the Agency will establish the period of time that cities have use
of funds allocated under the MCPP. In doing so, the Agency will attempt to facilitate
11-1-
-3-
the proposals of cities while prudently addressing Agency credit and financial risk. For 1993, assuming a late spring or early summer bond sale, it is anticipated that the MCPP program term will be six months with a four month exclusive allocation for each participating city. If bond sales under the program are delayed beyond late spring or early summer, the Agency may con sider lengthening this term. As in 1992, the Agency will retain the right to adjust the program interest rate during the term of the MCPP.
ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS:
All Minnesota cities. with the exception of those that receive a separate entitlement of bonding authority (e.g., Minneapolis, St. Paul, cities located in Dakota County), are eligible to submit proposals to participate in the MCPP. Under the MCPP, a •city• means a city as defined in Minnesota Statutes § 462C.02, subdivision 6. Generally, this includes all cities, city and county housing and redevelopment authorities, port authorities and economic development authorities. (References to •cities· herein is to
all entities authori·zed under this statute.)
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
The primary objective of the MCPP is to provide affordable mortgage financing for low and moderate income first time homebuyers through the issuance of mortgage revenue bonds. The mortgages provided through the issuance of these bonds typically have interest rates of approximately 1 % to 1 ½% below market mortgage interest rates at the time of bond issuance. The mortgages provided must meet the requirements of standard mortgage insuring and guaranteeing entities, mortgage industry accepted underwriting standards, and state and federal law governing mortgages provided through the issuance of mortgage revenue bonds. Among such requirements are that borrowers may not have owned a principal residence for the three years directly prior to the date of the mortgage, must occupy the property as a principal residence within the 60 days of mortgage closing, must not eam household income which exceeds certain income limits, and must pur chase a home at -a price which may not exceed certain purchase price limits. A •pocket guide• describing the requirements of the Agency's mortgage revenue bond program, The Minnesota Mortgage Program, is enclosed herein and provides a description of the requirements typically found in such programs.
Bo"ower Income Umits:
Under state law governing mortgage revenue· bond programs, borrower adjusted income limits may not exceed the greater of Agency income limits or 80% of area median income as determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). • Adjusted income· refers to gross annual household income less certain deductions, the most common of whic h is $1,000 for each resident living in a household. Currently, 80% of HUD median family income is $40,800 in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), $39,520 in the Rochester· MSA, and $33,760 in the balance of Minnesota, but these limits are subject to revision upon Internal Revenue Service issuance of new limits, which is typically done in April. MCPP participants will be notified of any changes in HUD maximum limits (increases
or decreases) which may effect· proposed programs.

House Price Requirements:
Under state law, cities have been granted flexibility in establishing their own house price limits under mortgage revenue bond programs, including the MCPP. House price limits may not exceed the greater of Agency limits, or the median home purchase price in the city as determined by a study (see below), capped at 80% of HUD's "safe harbor limits" for existing housing.
If cities wish to take advanJage of higher prices in their market and petition for a higher purchase price limit, this must be done through submission of an independent study to
MHFA. The study must reflect at least six months of closed real estate sales activity (new and existing) within the city during the last 12 months. Cities may accumulate data from a variety of acceptable sources, including multiple listing services, appraisers or real estate agents, filings of closed real estate sates, or other sources for which the city can demonstrate an accurate representation of real estate activity.
In 1992, safe harbor limits were reduced dramatically by HUD, dropping the 80% safe harbor "cap" below current Agency purchase price limits for the Twin Cities and
Rochester MSA's. This effectively eliminated the option to petition for a higher price limit for those areas. In the balance of Minnesota, the safe harbor limit was also reduced, resulting in an 80% cap of $67,760, slightly above MHFA's existing home limit, but below MHFA's new construction limit of $72,000.
For 1993, revisions to HUD's safe harbor limits should occur in March or April, before the allocation meeting is held (see "Application Selection" below). It is possible that HUD's 1993 study will result in an increase in these limits, and restore a realistic option for cities that wish to apply for a purchase price higher than Agency limits. Cities that wish to take advantage of an increase in the safe harbor limits can either submit the necessary study data with their application, or modify their application following the allocation meeting.
In cases where cities are planning to incorporate one of five specific -affordabii'ity initiatives" (see attachment 1) for newly constructed housing only, house price limits may be set at the greater of 115% of current MHFA limits or the median home purchase price as confirmed by the previously defined study (once again, capped at 80% of HUD's safe harbor limit).
New Construction:
In 19·91, state legislation pertaining to mortgage revenue bond proceeds was enacted to encourage the financing of existing homes before newly constructed homes, especially for homes to be financed in the seven county Twin Cities Metropolitan
area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington). In the balance of the state, more flexibility was provided regarding the financing of new construction.
In the seven county Twin Cities Metropolitan area, no newly constructed homes may be financed for the first ten months of a program origination period except to meet specific housing affordability objectives specified in law and/or administrative rule. Specifically, one of the following conditions must be met if new construction is to be
provided: IJ l/
-5-
•The newly constructed housing must be located in a redevelopment area (adefined, developed area where at least 25% of the buildings are structurally
substanda rd).
•The new housing must be replacing a structurally substandard . structure or
structures.
•The new housing must be part of a housing affordability initiative, other than those
financed with the proceeds from the sale of mortgage revenue bonds, in whichfederal, state or local assistance is used to substantially improve the terms offinancing or to substantially write down the purchase price of the new housing. Thehousing affordability initiative must meet one or more of the criteria listed inAttachment 1 hereto.
In the balance of the state, ·mortgage loans may be made for the purchase of newly constructed homes immediately. However, a city must include in its proposal a description of the steps it will initiate in such areas to encourage loans for existing housing as opposed to new housing. In the event �hat such steps are taken, they may include, but are not limited to, the housing affordability initiatives specified in Attachment 1. If the city also intends to generally allow financing of newly constructed homes, it should note the reason why this is the case in its proposal. (For example, if the city needs to increase the supply of affordable, newly constructed housing to meet economic development objectives.)
In all areas of the state, cities may not provide set-asides or commitments for the exclusive use of builders or developers except for housing affordability initiatives as
specified in Attachment 1.
Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF):
To assist cities with providing more affordable housing opportunities for its modest
income residents, the Agency is pleased to provide cities participating in the MCPP with access to the MHFA Homeownership Assistance Fund (HAF). HAF provides
.eligible borrowers with monthly payment assistance and/or entry cost (i.e., downpayment and closing cost) assistance through an interest free, graduated payment second mortgage. loan. HAF is only available to cities participating in the MCPP. HAF is funded through appropriations from the state legislature.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION:
Under the MCPP, cities have flexibility i!'l the creation and administration of a program to address their specific needs. The city may elect to become directly involved in the administrati on of its program in a c�pacity that it determines, or the city may elect to
have the Agency provide complete administrative services for the program.
Cities applying under the MCPP should be aware that the Minnesota Department of
Finance will charge a modest fee to cover the costs involved with processing housing pool allotment requests. This fee must be remitted with the allocation agreement executed and returned by each city shortly before bonds are sold to fund the MCPP. The amount of the fee will be determined by the size of the allotment to be received,
based upon the following schedule:
/))
-6-
Allotment Size Processing Fee
$250,000 -$749,999 $100.00
$750,000 -$1,249,999 $200.00
$1,250,000 -$1,749,999 $300.00
$1,750,000 -$2,249,999 $400.00
$2,250,000 -$2,749,999 $500.00
$2,750,000 -$3,249,999 $600.00
To participate in the MCPP, cities must also arrange with local participating lenders to
originate mortgage loans under the program. Such lenders will be required to enter
into a contract with the Agency as to program and loan origination requirements. Cities may elect one or more specific lenders to deliver their program, or may specify
all lenders within their area that are under contract with the Agency to provide for
program delivery. However, in its proposaJ, each city must initially designate at least one local participating lender that will deliver the program and enclose a letter from
that lender acknowledging intent to participate. A list of current Agency participatjng
lenders is encl osed.
Potential lenders should be informed that they will only be required to pay a modest
fee to participate in the MCPP. Specifically, lenders in state Metropolitan Statistical area will be required to pay a fee of either $750 or $3,000 (the $3,000 fee is for
lenders in the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area), and lenders in the
balance of the state will be required to pay a fee of $200. And, very importantly,
lenders will be eligible to participate in both the MCPP and The Minnesota Mortgage
Program (the Agency's regular mortgage revenue bond program) by payment of this fee. Thus, if they had planned to participate in The Minnesota Mortgage Program,
MCPP participation is free. Finally, lenders should be informed that they will initially net fee income of at least 2 1/2% of the original principal balance of each mortgage loan
delivered to the Agency 1;1nder the MCPP. This represents an increase in lender
compensation of 1/2"/o above other Agency mortgage programs.
The Agency is pleased to provide participating cities with expert administrative support
for their program under the MCPP. The Agency will create all contracts, procedural
manuals and documents to assure program· success. The Agency will select
Minnesota-based mortgage servicers to service each borrower's loan. Agency staff
will also purchase each mortgage loan originated under program terms and conditions
from participating mortgage lenders.
Finally, the Agency will also provide participating cities with public information and marketing support for their program. This marketing support will be individualized to
distinguish each city's program from other home mortgage lending programs
av ailable.

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:
Applications for the MCPP may be submitted to MHFA between 8:00 a.m., April 2,
1993 and 4:30 p.m., April 15, 1993. (In the event that applicable mortgage revenue
bond authority remains after April 15, an additional application period may run
between July 1 and July 15, 1993.) To apply for mortgage revenue bond authority
under the MCPP, the cities must submit the following:
1.The city must submit information under the Minnesota City Participation Program
·Application for Funding, MHFA Form #MCPP-1 (enclosed) and related supporting
documentation. For ease of application, separate proposal forms have been
developed for cities in the Twin Cities MSA and cities in the balance of the state.
Please be sure that the proper proposal form has been enclosed for your city.
2.The city must submit a proposal deposit equal to 1 % of its requested allocation.This deposit will be refunded upon the sale of mortgage revenue bonds.
The enclosed application format and accompanying documentation has been
developed to meet all the criteria in state administrative rules governing applications for mortgage revenue bond authority. Cities should take great care to thoroughly
complete th eir application. Among the areas that should be carefully addressed within
the application are:
•A description of the city's principal housing needs. Some detail in thisdescription is extremely important.
•Details of the city's plan for meeting local housing needs.
•An outline of the city's specific program proposal which clearlydemonstrates/specifies that the program meets all the requirements contained
herein.
•Information as to the city's intentions pertaining to the financing of newly
constructed homes.
•Supporting documentation needed to complete the application. In all instances,
this will include a letter of intent from at least one potential participating lender.
In some cases, this ·may include documentation that justifies higher house price
limits as described above.
·Under administrative rules pertaining to accessing mortgage revenue bond authority,cities may also apply for the MCPP by submitting alternate documentation as
described in Attachment 2.
APPLICATION SELECTION:
Within 30 days after the end of the application period, the Agency will convene a
meeting to allocate available mortgage revenue bond authority. MCPP applicants
must designate a representative to this meeting by completion of question I (c) within.
the MCPP Application for Funding. Applicants may change their designated
representative at any time before the allocation meeting by notifying MHFA in writing.
At this meeting, the Agency will negotiate the terms of an agreement to allocate
// 7
-8-
available bonding authority among MCPP applicants and other potential mortgage
revenue bond issuers. ..Upon agreement as to bonding autho rity and confirmation that the city wishes to
proceed under the MCPP, the Agency shall complete an allocation agreement for
execution by each city, collect the required processing fee and make arrangements for the sale of bonds funding the MCPP. As noted above, the interruption in the ability to
issue mortgag·e revenue bonds may well have an impact on the timing of any 1993 bond sales, including sales to support MCPP. The Agency plans to sell bonds in
support of this program as soon as it is financially feasible to do so.
OTHER INFORMATION:
•Although the MCPP provides cities with an exciting opportunity to access mortgage
revenue bond proceeds, the Agency will continue to offer the MinnesotaCommunities Program for those cities that wish to access a smaller amount of
funds for occasional single-family development projects. Under this Program, citiesmay access MHFA funds on a "spot" b2�;s; (a single loan set-aside per application)
to finance up to five properties or $250,000 per year (whichever is greater).
Interested cities should contact MHFA's Homeownership Division for additional
details and application materials.
•The MCPP is authorized under Minnesota Statutes§ 474A.061, subdivision 2a and
Administrative Rules 4900.3200 to 4900.3290. Copies of these materials are
available upon request.
•Local governments may also continue to sell their own bonds under the above
referenced statute and administrativEt rules if this option better meets theirobjectives. Local issuers will also be required to apply to the Agency for bondauthority at the same time.
Agency staff will be happy to assist in answering any questions you may have about
the MCPP and developing proposals hereunder. For questions, concerns and additional information, please call the MHFA Homeownership Opportunity Division at
(612)296-7613 in the Twin.Cities MSA, or a.t 1-800-657-3802 from Greater Minnesota,and reference the MCPP. We look forward to doing business with you under this

Much of the city's housing stock is aging and such issues as maintenance have become an ever increasing problem. Columbia Heightshas a significant percentage of its housing stock which is more than30 years old. The table below provides a distribution of the housing stock for selected years (Source: 1990 U.S. Census).

In addition, the city's population is also aging. Between 1980 and 1990 the total number of persons age 65 and older increased 70% from 1,996 to 3,381.
During the same period the number of housing units occupied by owners over the age of 65 also increased from 837 to 1,427. As these owners grow older, they find maintaining their homes to be a greater burden, both physically and financially.

III.HOUSING PLAN (cont.)
In response to these trends, they City adopted the following HousingPlan (Source: 1990 Comprehensive Plan):
Goals and Policies
Goal: Maintain and enhance the quality of the single-family detached housing stock and the neighborhoods in which it is located.
Goal: Upgrade and improve attractive multiple-family housing for those segments of the population that cannot afford or do not desire to live in detached housing.
Since Columbia Heights is predomin,antly residential, the City regards the preservation and enhancement of the housing stock as its most important task.
1.Single-Family Code Enforcement: The City shall strive tomaintain the physical quality of single-family housing throughCode enforcement.
2.Spot Clearance: The City shall remove and replace the mostseriously deteriorated single-family houses so that they do notcontinue to harm the value of nearby housing.
3.Multiple-Family Housing Maintenance Standards: The City shallmaintain minimum standards for multiple housing through a programof regular inspections and Code enforcement.
4.Housing Assistance:The City shall continue to provide adequate housing programs.·
s.Equal Opportunity: The City shall continue to promote andprotect equal housing opportunity in publicly assisted andprivate housing.
6.Neighborhood Protection: The City shall work to protect theintegrity and long-term viability of its neighborhoods and striveto reduce the potential negative effects of nearby commercial orindustrial development through zoning, site plan reviews and Codeenforcement.
7.Site Maintenance: The City shall strictly enforce its municipalregulations pertaining to yard and building maintenance so as toprotect residential property values.

III.HOUSING PLAN (cont.)
a.Land Use Plan: Land uses that are inconsistent with the Land UsePlan and incompatible with housing will be improved or removedover time where possible and the land reused in conformance withthe Land Use Plan.
9.Multiple-Family Housing standards: The City shall enforce highstandards for all multiple-family housing development. Includedwill be aspects of building massing, parking location, access,traffic impact, landscaping exterior architectural design,fencing, trash handling and parking ratios.
10.Alternative Housing: The City shall promote the development ofmedium density, owner-oc cupied and rental housing for one andtwo-person households. This would provide an opportunity forlarge households to acquire housing made available by the one andtwo person households owning detached single-family housing.
11.Duplexes:The City shall allow "zero-lot-line" duplex units so as to encourage individual ownership of the units.
12.Architectural Design: The design of new housing on infill andredevelopment sites should be compatible in scale, materials, androoflines with any single-family housing on the same block orimmediate vicinity.
13.Financial Tools: The City will continue to use such tools asmortgage revenue bonds, tax increment financing and the communityDevelopment Block Grant Program (along with either public fundingsource as may be available) to assist decent, affordable housingin the community, ·,especially the elderly. The City will enterpartnerships in a ·business-like fashion, seeking to improve thequality of such housing and/or ensure that rents remainaffordable. However, the City will not jeopardize the quality ofexisting housing and neighborhoods through the siting ofsubsidized housing.
The goals and policies were developed as a result of an opinion survey conducted in October of 1991. Residents were asked to respond to a variety of questions concerning such topics as employment, education, housing, local government, community image and crime.
To assist in the preservation of the housing stock,the Housing and Redevelopment Authority has provided more than $24,290,000 in housing rehab and mortgage assistance funds via the following programs:

$2,460,000. Approximately 70% of the funds were utilized during the1991 and 1992 programs.
It is anticipated, based on figures provided by the Anoka CountyAssociation of Realtors (ACAR), that there will be continued demandfor the MCPP.

VI.NEW CONSTRUCTION
Although the City anticipates that MCPP funds will be used for the purchase of existing homes, some funds may be used for new construction in the City's Multi-Use Redevelopment Tax Increment District. This area consists of both industrial and residential uses; the MCPP funds would be limited to the residential area only •. MHFA requirements with respect to new construction price limits would be followed. See attached map for specific location (Appendix B).

Currently, the fees charged for physical examination performed for perspective employees is $40.
This includes a general physical exam, urinalysis and mantoux test. The cost for obtaining urine
specimens for drug evaluations is $10.
Dr. Gary Good, the City's health doctor, has requested an increase in the fee for obtaining urine
specimens for drug screening from $10 to $20. The last rate increase was in September 9, 1991,
when the Council authorized an increase in the rate for physical examinations from $25 to $40.
The time, stringent requirements, guidelines, and procedures which must be adhered to in obtaining
the urine specimen for drug screening is extensive. Recently, the required recordkeeping and
paperwork involved has increased, causing this procedure to take 15 to 20 minutes, rather than 5
to 10 minutes.
Staff recommends authorization of the increase.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the increase in fees charged for specimen
collection performed by Dr. Gary Good for drug screening from $10 to $20, effective immediately;

Staff has budgeted $25,000 in the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund to replace the chassis of the patching truck in 1993.
The current chassis is a 1975 Ford F750. Staff feels that due to the condition and age of this chassis, it should be replaced at this time. Staff would include, as an option, a plow hanger which would allow this vehicle to be used as a backup plow giving the plowing fleet some redundancy.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek bids to replace the chassis for Unit #5, Patching Truck.

City Hall Recycling ·�
City Hall recycling was revamped during the months of January and February and went into ef feet March
1, 1993. City Hall recycling now includes corrugated cardboard, plastics, office paper, magazines and
catalogs, and cans. We will no longer be collecting glass. This is a commingled system with one central
collection point and should result in greater tonnage coming out of City Hall. Planning is underway for a
City-wide program to go into effect May 1, 1993; again collecting the major materials.
3)llecycling Center
I am visiting the Recycling Center monthly during Saturday mornings to touch base with the staffers and
speak to residents. We are experiencing some difficulties with scavengers and have requested a patrol
officer drive-by during collection hours. The propane tank was cleaned and repaired. Public Works
Department is keeping the center plowed well this winter. Plans are afoot to spruce up the signage.
4)46SO Johnson
I visited the apartment building at 4650 Johnson Street NE fo deliver recycling brochures on February 23,
1993, and met with approximately 8 residents of the apartment building encouraging recycling and
discussing the owner's concern about keeping refuse charges down.

5)Neighborhood Clean Up
An April 17th date has been set for a Neighborhood Clean Up in Grid #8. Initiated by Matt Field of the
Fire Department, this is intended to assist the area residents in avoiding tickets �or such items as tires and
other junk accumulated on properties. The Special Projects Coordinator is working with the Volunteer
Coordinator, the Fire Department and BFI to offer service from 9:00 AM -1:00 PM on that day to coincide
with the hours the Recycling Center is open. BFI will provide a flatbed truck that will travel through the
neighborhood collecting appliances and tires, and there will also be an extra packer truck run for garbage.
All materials possible will be recycled. Clean up of Keyes Park, Mathaire Park, the High School and Castle
Heights area are being coordinated for that day. That material will also be picked up by BPI.
6)Refunded Monies from Anoka County Solid Waste Task Force
The Solid Waste Task Force for Anoka County has determined that those cities which exceeded their
recycling goal by 10% or over will have greater. flexibility in the use of their refunded money received in
1993. Although it remains to be entirely clarified, this likely will mean that we will be able to request
reimbursement for problem materials and yard waste.
7)Earth Day
April 22nd is Earth Day. Several items having to do with solid waste and recycling will be appear on the
April Heights Calendar Program: we will be visiting Elk River RDF Plant for footage; discussing the in
house recycling program as an example of what commercial establishments can do to reduce waste; discuss
"source reduction" and what it means. The purpose is two-fold: a) to continue educating the public about
waste management concerns, b) to emphasize waste reduction as the first step in waste management.
8)Contract Renegotiation
Beginning April 1, 1993, mixed mail, magazines, catalogs, and phone books will be picked up curbside in
the City of Columbia Heights. This goes along with the new three-year renegotiation of BFl's contract.
I have worked with Tom Moline of BPI on new brochures to be delivered to residents. \.
9)Brochure Delivery
Brochure delivery for this information is planned for the last week in March, first week in April.

Municipalities and Township of the Rice Creek Watershed District
**URGENT**
SUBJECT: Spring Runoff Water Quality
Dear Sir/Madam:
. i I ./ Board of Managers Regular Meetings: 2nd and 4th Wednesdays 3rd Thursday at Shoreview City Hall
BONITA TORPE, Admin. Ass't,.
The Rice Creek Watershed District has completed several intensive lake and stream monitoring projects which incorporated historic water quality data from a number of different sources. We completed Lhe data analysis in early l 992 and found that within the Watershed District, approximately 20 percent of the annual pollutant loading occulis during the first heavy spring rain.
While this seems intuitively correct, based on the debris found in the street gutters in the spring, the Watershed data in other studies confirm this phenomenon. Street sweeping has long been considered a "best management practice" which can aid in reducing this loading into our lakes.
We are aware that several of the municipalities within the District have water quality policies which refer directly to street sweeping. The Board of Managers strongly encourage these and other municipalities to target priority areas for sweeping within the ne-xt 2-3 weeks. Priority areas would include areas directly tributary to lakes, streams, or ditches via overland flow or storm sewer.
We appreciate your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact the District Office at the address above.
Sincerely,

Mayors, Managers, and Clerks of selected cities James F. Miller, Executive Directo,g,.;._ /YJ A Pay Equity Compliance
In a joint effort to ensure maximum compliance with the state's pay equity laws, the Department of Employee Relations has shared with us a partial list of communities that they have sent out-of-compliance determinations to as of March 2, 1993. Your community was on the list that we received from the department. The legislature, in preliminary debate on pay equity compliance, seems committed to imposing penalties on noncomplying communities in fiscal 1993. Although other legislative proposals, such as salary freezes and cuts in local government aid, may cause a rethinking of penalty imposition in 1993, we believe that circumstances warrant a concerted effort on the part of all cities to get into compliance with the statutory and rule requirements governing pay equity. Some of you have already contacted us, but we wanted to touch base with those of you who have not contacted the League fo let you know that we are available to provide advice and/or assistai,ce to your community. Because each city's situation is different, and the options for compliance are several, we cannot effectively provide general advice suitable for each city. Rather, we urge you to contact Kent Sulem, Research Assistant, or Sherrie Le, Personnel Advisor, at the League office before you contact the Department of Employee Relations or take other steps in response to your city's recent notification.
