Councilmember Clerkin was attending a Traffic Commission meeting.
2.PURPOSE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW
The purpose of the Board of Review is to review property valuations as of January 2, 1993 and to hear appeals from citizens who feel aggrieved or have questions regarding property valuations.
3.INTRODUCTIONS
The City Manager introduced Ed Thurston, Anoka County Chief Appraiser and Carrol McCain, Anoka County Appraiser.
4.QUESTIONS & ANSWERS REGARDING PROPERTY VALUATIONS
a)St. Paul Corrugating -700 39th AvenueIra Burhans, President of this company, questioned the processfor appraising property. His property was originally zonedIndustrial I and was changed to Commercial Industrial II. Inthe last three years the taxes on the property had increased12 percent each year. He felt the formula for appraising wasnot accurate.
b)DuAll -636 39th AvenueGary Dooner, owner of DuAll, felt many of the commercial andindustrial properties were not being treated fairly in theCity.
c)Columbia Metal Fab -635 39th AvenueKenny Hentges, owner of this firm, distributed information onbuildings comparable to his which were valued for much less.He noted that his building is located on swamp land and hecannot add on to his building because of soil conditions. Hefeels that property values per square foot are valued higherin Columbia Heights than elsewhere in Anoka County. He alsosuggested that the distance from convenient roadways andfreeways should be considered when placing value on commercialor industrial buildings.
BOARD OF REVIEWAPRIL 5, 1993 PAGE 2
It is Hentges' observation that soil conditions, location and other factors were not considered when other properties on39th Avenue were valued. A number of business owners in thearea have met with an Anoka County representative regardingtheir valuations. No resolution has taken place at this pointin time.
d)Lange Tank -682 39th Avenue
Dave Carlson observed that where his firm is located is notprime land. He also noted a disparity in per square foot valuefor property adjacent to each other. He stated he does notmind paying taxes but does mind being treated unfairly.
Thurston noted that these properties will continue to bereviewed and there will be some resolution of the concernsexpressed.
e)Henry Korman -4600 Taylor Street
4600 Taylor Street is a vacant lot, 40 x 128, which is valuedat $18,000. Korman advised this lot has been for sale for twoyears at an asking price of $10,000. There have been no buyersat this price.
McCain advised that forty foot lots in Columbia Heights areselling for $18,000/$19,000. She was requested to review thisproperty again and compare it to similar lots.
f.Lee Stauch -1155 Khyber Lane
Stauch advised he owns rental property in the City. He feelsthe properties he owns are valued too high.
Thurston advised that valuesproperty have been monitored.given on these properties recommend any reduct i.ons.
in the area in which Stauch ownsAcross-the-board reductions were two years ago. He would not
No one on the City Council was supportive of reducing thevaluations on the properties owned by Stauch. CouncilmemberNawrocki was of the opinion that these buildings are treatedas an investment, not housing.

NO. 6 POLICE APPROVAL:,_
ITEM: Trespass Ordinance No. 1264
NO. l:,. /3.BY: David P. Mawhorter,;:/('B�QJ.��
DATE: 4 {;;).8,{a.�DATE: April 21, 1993
Attached is proposed ordinance No. 1264, a trespassing ordinance. Its overall purpose is to
empower the Columbia Heights Police Department with the authority to inquire into the
business of loiterers and other persons on the private property of consenting citizens. In short,
the Columbia Heights Police Department would be given the right by the owner to question
persons on private property of multi-unit dwellings and ask them to leave or to inquire further
as a basis for legal action. If the loiterer fails to leave, the officer may cite the offender.
What is contemplated is that an officer would be able to approach someone "just hanging
around" the private property of another and ask what their business is. If the person cannot
articulate a reason for being on the premises and are otherwise unable to convince the officer
of the loiterer's right to be there, the officer may order the loiterer to leave the premises and
not return.
A similar ordinance has been successfully implemented in the city of Minneapolis and the
citizens have been very happy with its enforcement. The proposed ordinance herewith
attached was modeled after the Minneapolis ordinance.
Kevin Giebel of the City Attorney's office and Officer Val Dietz will be available at meetings
in which the ordinance is discussed and will be available for any questions that the council
may have.
The first reading of this proposed ordinance was held on April 12, 1993.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution there being ample
copies for the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1246, being an ordinance
amending Ordinance No. 853, City Code of 1977, a Trespass Ordinance.

MASTERCARD L.J · .. 8.A-.DATE: APRIL 19, 1993 '+la.�,�
This item was originally presented to the City Council at the April 12, 1993, City Council meeting
and was tabled for additional information. First, the City is a member of the Minnesota Licensed
Beverage Ass0dati6n. This Association has worked out an agreement with Citicorp for a discount
on the nonnal Visa and Mastercard fees. The percentage charged to Association members is
determined by the total volume of all Association members added together. Based on this, the
perc�tages the Oty pays for processing Visa and Mastercard bills will be the same whether we contract for one location or multiple locations. The only difference is that Citicorp has an annual
fee of $75 for each location. If the City had only one location, the fee would be $75. With two
locations, the total fee is $150. By establishing an account with Citicorp for two locations, we receive
detailed information on each individual location from Citicorp. This saves a great deal of time in
accounting for the revenue and expenses as we receive a separate statement for each location to
reconcile against the City's records.
Following are other statistics related to credit card transactions at Top Valu for the year 1992:
Total Sales
Credit card sales
Percent of sales by credit card
Total fees paid for credit card sales
Fees as a percentage of credit sales
$3,772,965.00
100,022.36
2.65%
2,091.25
2.09%
As you can see from the above schedule, credit cards sales in 1992 were slightly over two and a half
percent of the total sales. Fees for these sales were slightly over two percent of the total credit card sa-les. Citicorp's fees for 1993 are as follows: Mastercard is 1.95% of the sale plus a $.09 fee pe.r
transaction; Visa is 1.93% of the sale pl� a $.06 transaction fee. Based on this information, it is staffs recommendation to enter into an agreement with Citicorp Card Acceptance Services, and establish the new liquor store at 2241 -37th Avenue NE as a separate account with Citicorp for the
acceptance of Visa and Mastercard.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Citicorp Card Acceptance Services for the processing of Visa and Mastercard
services.

MEETING OF: April 26, 1993
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:
CITY MANAGER'S
BY: P. HENTGES
DA TE: 04/23/93
CITY MGR
APPROVAL
Over the past two years, the City of Columbia Heights a.nd Advanced Flex have attempted to
resolve various fire and building code issues with their facility located at 3905 California Street.
The nature of their circuit board manufacturing activity, coupled with the extent of the code
compliance issues, prevents Advanced Flex to make extensive code improvements without
suspending the manufacturing activity. After spending considerable time in contemplating their
expansion on site, Advanced Flex has entered into a contract to relocate their Columbia Heights'
operation to Chaska, Minnesota.
Over the past year, it is my u.nde_rstanding that various attempts were made to allow the code issues
to continue subject to a hold harmless agreement being filed on the part of Advanced Flex. This
concept was rejected by the City because there essentially was not a culmination or a resolution to
the overall code compliance problem. Recently, City staff met with the President, Controller, and
General Manager of Advanced Flex and negotiated a Letter of Understanding a.nd a Hold Hnmless
Agreement that essentially calls for the company to vacate the premises on or about October 31,
1993. The attorneys for both parties have reviewed the agreements and recommend execution.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the
Letter of Understanding and the Hold Harmless agreement with Advanced Flex, Inc. rega_rding
code violations dated April 27, 1993.

This letter is intended to document the action items that we reviewed during our March 31 meeting in your office. These discussions focused on our intent to vacate our AF2 facility in Columbia Heights, interim steps that might be taken to be a better neighbor prior to our departure arid what the vacated building might be used for in the future.
The enclosed milestone chart indicated the actions and estimated timing required for us to relocate to our new Chaska facility. As discussed, the target dates are subject to change dependent on two factors. The first concerns the time required to make our new plant production ready and obtain all of the permits necessary for us to begin production. The second factor regards our ability to receive UL rating, Military Standard Recognition and most importantly key customer approvals to build product in the new facility. We are actively working on all of these issues and currently we do not anticipate any major issues or delays. We will keep your office informed of any major problems or potential delays.
In the interim period of time, prior to our move, we want to continue to be a good neighbor in Columbia Heights. At your request we have reinstalled a missing vent cover at AF2. We also conducted an efficiency study on our fume scrubber which resulted in our installing a new charcoal filter. All of this work was completed prior to April 9. Our hope is that these actions help you and will curb potential complaints.
At this time we have yet to identify a specific use or tenant for our building in Columbia Heights. We are trying to keep our options open and recognize that, dependent on use, we will have to make some building modifications to meet code requirements.
Thanks again for a very productive meeting last month. Good luck in your new position and if I can be of any help please give me a call.

Dear Mr. Kuzesowiell:
This letter is in response to your request for an outline of the code violations and deficiencies in existance on property owned by Advance Flex located at 3905 California St., Columbia Heights, Minnesota.
In order to determine the exact code deficiencies and therefore the remedies to achieve compliance, an as-built floor plan with determinations of existing construction will need to be submitted. Exact dimensions would need to be ascertained and the rendering would need to be drawn to scale.
In 1988 your company applied for a permit to erect a 2,880 s.f. addition for use as warehouse storage. This addition would have created a total of 17,520 s.f. according to the Planning and Zoning Commission records of October 1987. Valuation of $60,000.00 was declared. The addition that was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the permit that was approved and issued by the Building Department was for a 32 x 90 warehouse.
On August 29, 1991 I did a site insp1ection in response to an application from Glen Sandness Construction for site plan approval for an addition. I was very surprised to find a fully heated and air conditioned manufacturing and assembly facility of 4630 s.f.first floor addition and a 5050 s.f. second floor addition had been constructed without approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Also, our Building Department records of the permit vere never amended to reflect the change, therefore, there is no evidence of any City approval. The total finished square feet for the building is now 27,200. Obviously, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work was done without permits and/or inspections.
The larger addition creates many problems such as the required parking is now 26 spaces less than the number required by our City Zoning Ordinance. As you requested, I spoke with our City Manager, Stuart Anderson, with regard to the possibility of purchasing land to the north of your property which is owned by the City. He said you should address the request in writing to him and he will present it to the City Council.

Because of the combustible materials used in several areas of the building, we must regard the entire building as a type V-N. Classification of building type is determined by the materials.used for construction and is rated in accordance vith its fire resistiveness. Removal of the combustibles and reconstruction with fire-resistive materials could re-classify the building and or parts of the building. The building is, at present, larger than the code allows for that type of occupancy. Classification is determined from the Uniform Building Code, Table 5-A. The majority of the building is classed as an B-7 occupancy with a B-2 classification for the office areas. A 1-hour fire separation is required between the two occupancies per UBC Table 5-B.
A Group B, Division 7 occupancy is required to have an automatic fire suppression system per Section 3802 Cf) of the UBC.
Exiting of the entire building would need to be in accordance with Chapter
33 of the UBC.
An atmospheric separation would be required for areas that contain hazardous chemicals. Rooms for liquid use, storage, dispensing and mixing of flammable or combustible materials must be constructed in accordance with specific requirements of the UBC and the Uniform Fire Code. Any area containing such materials must be clearly defined on the floor plan so that proper code requirements can be determined. Vhere recirculation of air is not permitted, the ventilation system shall be capable of providing not less than 15 cfm of outside air per occupant.
I list the above only in generalities. I need the floor plan in order to do a proper plan review. I request that the floor plan be ordered created within the next five (5) working days, with a completion date not more than 30 days later. Serious life safety hazards exist at present and must be determined and remedied at the earliest possible time. A plan review fee will be charged.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 782-2818.

CITY OF L'8-LU�1.BL-. HEIGHTS
Jim K.rzesowiak, the facilities manager for Advanced Flex, informed me that you would like a
update on our status for dealing with the AF2 Columbia Heights buHding situation.
Currently we are working with a consulting firm to help us determine which course of action to
pursue. Amongst the options are to:
1.Make the improvements required at the existing facility.
2.Build and or expand onto the adjoining park land.
� 3.Build a new facility on the 37th street lot.� CJ
4.Other options include building or buying existing buildings outside of Columbia-.t_JoHeights. -, ....
Unfortunately, the decision is not merely to accept one of the above solutions. We have got to
look at some long range strategic questions. Today we have three separate facilities, would it be
more cost effective to have one or two larger ones? Some of our larger competitors have plants
on the two coasts, should we relocate to be closer to the majo.r customers? Our strategic plan
indicates we will be out of capacity with our present facilities by 1994. That is only two years
away. Given the lead time required to plan and build a new building, we need to begin
addressin g the lack of capacity now. This clearly effects the AF2 building solution. Do we
merely replace the existing AF2 27,000 square feet size, or enlarge it to 50,000+ given the above
questions? We need to get some industrial engineering help to determine what the optimal size
AF2 should be.
These are the questions we are dealing with. The differences in cost amongst the options can
literally be in the millions of dollars. Meanwhile I have met with Don Schneider of HR.A, and
Steve Bubul of Holmes & Graven, regarding the f"mancing assistance available. Wednesday of
this week I made a formal presentation to our bank to renew our operating financing. Beyond
these meetings we have also been receiving assistance to help us f"md the answers to the
questions presented above.
While we are doing our research, Jim Krzesowiak has been making improvements at AF2 s1:1ch
as better lighting for the fire exits, posting emergency exit maps, and removing more of the
chemical storage. It bas always been Advanced Flex's position to continually improve the work
place for our employees.
I hope this will give you a better idea of where we are in this process. It is our intent to keep you and the other city officials.promptly and fully informed.
Sincerely,

ITEM: PURCHASE OF BODY ARMOR BY: David P. Mawhorter� �11 L� BY: ---•
NO. C/. C. DATE: April 21, 1993 DATE: Y / d..l (q S
The Police Department has discovered a problem regarding (1) the age and safety of a large
portion of its soft body armor inventory and (2) the need for policy guidance regarding when
new soft body armor will be replaced.
State Statute §299A.38 soft body armor reimbursement authorizes the State to reimburse local
government up to one-third, or $165.00, of the cost of soft body armor purchased for police
officers. In order to qualify for this reimbursement, either (1) the soft body armor must be
for an officer who didn't have it, or (2) the soft body armor being replaced must be at least
six years old. Soft body armor manufactured some time after 1982 is only warranted for five
years.
The Department has four sets of body armor that are five years old this year. Three of the
four officers issued this soft body armor have requested replacement. The Department has
eight sets of body armor that are between 7 and 11 years old. These sets also need
replacement. The State will not reimburse cities for body armor less than six years old. Most
officers feel that when the body armor goes out of warranty, it is no longer safe or
serviceable. I agree.
The total cost to upgrade all outdated body armor, including the 4 five-year old sets is $4,950.
This figure has all applicable State reimbursements subtracted out. The Department has
$1,340.00 remaining in the 1993 budget for the purchase of soft body armor. There is a need
for an additional $3,630.00.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize a budget appropriation of $3,630 to the
Police Department budget for the purchase of body armor, with the appropriation coming from �
the City Council contingency budget and establish a five-year replacement schedule for

This memo is both a request for policy clarification and a request for additional
nonbudgeted funding regarding police soft body annor (vest) purchase.
History
The Department has provided soft body armor to its full time licensed employees for
some time. The first record of a purchase was in 1982 when, with funding from the
Lion's Club, it appears that all full time licensed employees were provided with soft body
armor. Although employees were not required to wear the soft body armor, it was
strongly encouraged.
There have been sporadic purchases since 1982. Some were from monies donated by
SuperAmerica. Some, I assume, were from City funds budgeted for soft body armor
purchase. The best that I can reconstruct is that one vest was purchased in 1984, two in
1985, one in 1986, one in 1987, four in 1988, four in 1989, four in 1990, none in 1991,
and two in 1992. The total purchased since after 1982 is 19 vests. Of these 19, 15 were
for new officers joining the Department.
In 1989, the State passed Minnesota State Statute 299A38 (attached). This law states that
the state government will reimburse a local unit of government one-third of the cost of
soft body armor, up a cap of $165, providing the vest is at least six years old or the
employee has never owned a vest.
The Problem
Soft body armor purchased sometime after 1982 ( I don't know the exact year) carries a
notice that clearly states that the armor panels go out of warranty after they are five years
old. The State will not provide reimbursement to cities for soft body armor that is less
than six years old.

I have written requests from Officers Vaughn and Wiborg to replace their soft body armor
which is five years old and out of warranty. There are two other officers whose soft body
armor is also five years old. There are nine officers whose soft body armor is more than
six years old.
The costs to replace the soft body armor is as follows:
5 year old vests four @ $495.00 each $1,980.00
State reimbursement 0.00
Total $1,980.00
6 years old or older nine @ $495.00 each $4,455.00
State reimbursement
$165.00 X 9 = 1A85.00
Total $2,970.00
Grand total $4,950.00
Patrick Hentges, City Manager
Page 3
April 19, 1993
We have $2,000 in the 1993 budget for the purchase of soft body armor. One vest has been purchased out of this account in the amount of $495.00, with $165.00 to be reimbursed at a later date. It is necessary to reserve another $495.00 to provide funding
for a new vest for a new hire this year. This leaves a balance of $1,340.00. Thus, we
could purchase four vests that are more than six years old with the remaining funds in the
account
We would need an additional $3,630.00 to completely update all out of date vests.
Recommendation
In order to provide the safest possible work environment for all officers, I would make
the following recommendations.
Recommendation #1
That the City approve a proposed Police Department policy to promptly replace all soft
body armor worn by officers when the manufacturer warranty expires.
Recommendation #2
To approve increased funding in the amount of $3,630.00 to police account 101-42100-
5180 to be used with the current $1,340.00 in this account for the purchase of thirteen
soft body armor vests. This purchase will bring all full time officers soft body armor up
to standard.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support in this matter. If you need further information, please contact me.

NO:
5/9/9'J-5/9/94 1..,J qe. DATE: � RIL 19, 1993 · '-II;;:� r q �
At the City Council meeting of February 22, 1993, the City Council authorized staff to seek formal quotations for the renewal of the City's property insurance, general liability, and liquor liability
coverages. The Request for Insurance Quotations was mailed to 18 insurance agencies. It was also
requested that Staff provide information to the Council regarding the financial and other
implications of returning to self-insurance for liability insurance coverage.
Due to the current lower premiums and higher coverage limits for conventional insurance, it is clearly the opinion of the Finance Director that self-insurance is not a viable alternative at this time.
Attached is a memo giving more information on insurance claim expenses for past years. Previously
when the City elected to go self-insured, premiums were significantly higher and the amount of
coverage provided by conventional insurance was significantly lower. In addition to this, the City does not have staff to administer a self-insurance program. The most significant problem while the
City was self-insured was claims adjustments and handling.
Attached herewith is a summary-showing the two quotes received for insurance coverage for the
period 5/9/93 through 5/9/94. The quotes were reviewed by the Insurance Commission at their
meeting on April 22, 1993, and it was their unanimous recommendation to accept the proposal from
American Agency, with coverage through USF & G and other companies.
.ECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enrer into a contract with American Agency for insurance coverage for 1993/1994 as quoted in their proposal
with USF & G, Western World, International, and St. Paul Insurance and other companies. The coverage will be the same as the City had in 1992/1993 at a cost of $148,437. This coverage does not include Public Official E & 0 or Automobile Physical Damage.
ALTERNATE RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter
into a contract with American Agency for insurance coverage for 1993/1994 as quoted in their
proposal with USF & G, Western World, International, and St. Paul Insurance and other companies.
The coverage includes Public Official E & 0 and Auto Collision at a total cost of $167,863.

CITY MANAGER
FROM: WILLIAM ELRITE
FINANCE DIRECTOR
RE: CITY'S INSURANCE CLAIM EXPERIENCE
At the February 22nd Council Meeting, the City Council authorized staff to seek quotations for
liability and other insurance coverages. At that time, they also requested that staff provide
information to the City Council regarding the City's claim experience, i.e. a comparison of self
insurance versus the bids received.
The following is a list of insurance expenses and claim reserves for the various policy years. At
this time, the total amount listed below has not been paid out. Some of the amounts included
are reserves that the insurance company has set up in anticipation of what the actual expense may
be.
Policy Period
1992/93
1991/92
1990/91
1989/90
Four-year average
Claims Paid/Reserves
$26,754.00
$94,919.00
$7,486.00
$68,871.27
$49,50757
From the above schedule, the amount the insurance company has paid out or set aside in reserves
for claims averages $49,507.57 per year. The worst year the City had for insurance claims
paid out was 1985/86, when they totalled nearly $400,000.00. As of the writing of this memo,
quotes have not been received for the policy year 1993/94. However, it is anticipated that they
will be very comparable to the quotes for 1992/93.
Pat Hentges
April 21, 1993
Page Two
The following is a breakdown of the insurance costs for 1992/93:
Type of coverage
Package policy (liability & property coverage)
Auto liability
Liquor liability
Police professional
Fire emergency assistance
Total
Premium
$67,110.00
$ 41,006.00
$12,950.00
$11,945.00
i 853.00
$133,864.00
The above premiums and coverages do not cover all City liability exposures. For several years
the City has self-insured automobile comprehensive and collision coverages. In addition, the City
self-insures for errors and omissions/professional liability coverage. The probability of loss in
these areas is somewhat lower in comparison to what the annual premiums would be if carrying
conventional insurance.
It is clearly advantageous for the City to carry conventional insurance rather than self-insuring.
Premiums are low in comparison to the amount of coverage. In 1986, when the City decided to
self-insure, premiums for similar coverage were approximately $2 40,000 and the amount of
coverage under that policy was significantly less. At that time, based on the premiums and
coverage available, it was beneficial for the City to self-insure. If insurance premiums increase
in the future and/or limits of coverage are reduced, then the City should again consider self
insuring; however, at the present time it does not appear to be in the best interest of the City to
do so.

BY� ITEM: CHANGE ORDER #1 BY: M Winson H �
NO. PUMP STATION #2 UPGRADE . '/. H. DATE: 4/19/93 DATE: tf /8.b {q �
A portion of the contract that the City has with Honeywell is the upgrade of water booster Pump Station #2. When the piping and excavation subcontractor, Widmer, Inc., began excavation on March 9th, it was discovered that the configuration of the existing underground piping feeding the pump station was not as shown on plans available to the City. The lines were much deeper than expected and offset This configuration, in addition to the close proximity of a 50" Minneapolis force main, has required a significant change in the project.
The City's consultant has designed a new piping configuration to accommodate these unknown conditions. A change order in the amount of $12,575 has been negotiated with Widmer, Inc. Both Honeywell and Hanis Mechanical, their prime contractor for this project, have agreed to pass through the change order without adding administrative costs.
Due to the nature of the Honeywell contract, language has been included in the change order to clarify that the cost of this change order will not affect the annual energy and operational savings guarantee. This language has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
It should be noted that the specification under which this project is being constructed allows for a change older due to the unforeseen conditions. Attached is a copy of that portion of the specifications.
Staff recommends approval of the change order so that work can be completed before the summer water demand starts. The cost will be paid out of line item 651-49449-5130 water construction fund.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize Change Order #1 in the amount of $12,575.00 for additional piping and appurtenances due to unforeseen underground conditions at Pump Station #2; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor �tty Manager to enter into an

Dear Mr. Winson;
Hoiieywell
This is an addendum to contract #914-02-12181 to address a change order for the pump station 112. The scope of work change is due to the unforeseen underground conditions not documented in the engineering specification submitted by the City of Columbia Heights to Honeywell.
The net add for this project is 512,575.00. The City of Columbia Heights has agreed to add this amount to their capital appropriation for year one oi the municipal program and to remit payment to Honeywell upon completion of the pump retrofit.
The City of Columbia Heights also agrees that the change order of S 12,57S (via capital contribution) will not be included in the annual energy and operational savings guuantee.

D.Protection of Surface Structures
E.
All surface structures and features located outside the excavationlimits for underground installations. together with those within theconstruction areas which are indicated in the Plans as being saved,shall be properly protected against damage and shall ·not be disturbedor removed without approval of the Engineer. Within the constructionlimits. as required. the removal of improvements such as paving,curbing. walks, turf, etc •• shall be subject to acceptable replacementafter completion of underground work. with all expense of removal andreplacement being borne by the Contr actor unless separate compensationis spec ifically provided for in the Contract.
Obstructions such as street signs. mailboxes. guard posts. culverts.and other items of prefabricated construction may be temporarilyremoved during construction provided essential service is maintained ina relocated setting as approved by the Engineer and nonessential itemsare properly stored for the duration of construction. Upon completionof the underground work, all such items shall be replaced in theirproper setting by and at the sole expense of the Contractor.
In the event of damage to any surface improvements, either privately orpublicly owned, the Contractor will be required to replace or repairthe damaged property to the satisfaction of the Engineer and by theContractor at his expense.
Interference of Underground Structures
When any underground structure interferes with the planned placement ofpipe or appurtenances and requires alterations in the work to eliminatethe conflict or avoid endangering effects on either the existing orproposed facilities. the Contractor shall inmediately notify theEngineer and the Owner of the affected structures. When any existingfacilities are endangered by the Contractor's operations. he shallcease his operations at the site and take such precautions as may benecessary to protect the inplace structures until a decision is made asto how the conflict will be resolved.
Without specific authorization from the utility owner, no essentialutility service shall be disrupted, nor shall any change be made ineither the existing structures or the planned installations to overcomethe interference. Alterations to existing facilities will be allowedonly when that service will not be curtailed unavoidably and then onlywhen the encroachment or relocation will satisfy all applicableregulations and conditions.
Wherever alterations are required as a result of unforeseen undergroundinterferences not due to any fault or negligence of the Contractor. theEngineer will issue a written change order covering any additional orextra work involved and specifying the revised basis of payment, ifany. Any alterations made strictly for the convenience of theContractor shall be subject to prior approval and shall be at theContractor's expense.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
DATE: APRIL 23, 1993
1)MARCH SOLID WASTE REPORT--
JO. II.
Enclosed please reference the Solid Waste Report for March. If you have any questions, call Valorie Gifford
or LinWMagee at 782 • 2813.
PIERCE/FILLMORE STREET HOUSING AREA--
advised that City staff will be conducting a planning meeting on the Pierce/Fillmore Street housing area
problems next week. At the conclusion of the meeting, I hope to accomplish a clear understanding of what
special service efforts are currently being conducted in the neighborhood and formulate a plan for
discussion at a May City Council work session. In the interim, Councilmember Ruettimann is also arranging
a lunch box work session with area bankers and financing agencies to seek advise and their role in financing
the redevelopment of the area.
3)PUBLIC WORKS OPEN HOUSE--
Mark Winson will present a proclamation declaring May 16 -22, 1993, Public Works Week. The Public
Works Department has arranged a open house on Wednesday, May 19, between 4:00 -8:00 PM. I encourage
the City Council to attend the Open House.
Next 7ear, it would be my intention to have a City-wide open house planned in conjunction with Public
Wo
t.
Week. Surprisingly, my past experience with a City-wide open house has been that it has been well
rec ved by the citizens, and, if properly organized, serves as an important informational and promotional
too for the City.
ITY ATTORNEY ACTIVITY--
attached correspondence indicates that activity in the City Attorneys' Office is up significantly this past
quarter. Obviously, our posture relevant to the MPRS, Zaidan, and Hilltop problems contribute to much
of this activity, coupled with our more aggressive nature in housing-enforcement. I will monitor this
activity and discuss it in more detail at budget time.
5)JUNK CAR PROBLEMS--
City staff is experiencing some problems with effectively dealing with junk car complaints. Most cities
enforce their junk car ordinances on a complaint basis or in conjunction with their housing inspection
program. There typically is some inspector's discretion exercised as to what constitutes a junk car. The City
may want to more clearly state the definition of a junk car and evaluate other programs to effectively deal
with junk vehicles. Attached please find a novel idea from Joe Sroga which, if undertaken in conjunction
with the nuisance abatement program, could make some ongoing progress in this area. Your thoughts and
comments would be much appreciated.
MANAGER'S REPORT
Page 2
April 23, 1993
6)IIlLLTOP CONCERNS--
As you are aware, the City has had ongoing inquiries by Hilltop requesting that we justify our service
charges. Much of their inquiry has little to do with the frequency of the service or the actual report or
invoice given to Hilltop, but rather the actual formula that has been negotiated between the cities.
Recently, the Police Department has been questioned about the policing grant and the visibility of police
presence in Hilltop. The Fire Department is repeatedly asked to justify or discriminate the need for rescue
response and charges levied to Hilltop. Recently, (see attached correspondence) Linda Magee was asked to
justify our cable tv arrangement with Hilltop. I have also included a copy of a Joint Powers Agreement
relating to street sealcoating for your review prior to forwarding it to Hilltop. It appears to me that a joint
session between the Hilltop City Council and Columbia Heights City Council would be helpful in
identifying a long-term service relationship. On a related issue, Gregg Woods has discussed the potential
for the mediation process of the sewer dispute.
7)HAZARDOUS SIDEWALKS--
Be advised that the attached notice has been sent out to the various property owners advising them of the
City Council's action on the sidewalk matter. The City does need an established program and reasonable
policy in place so as to protect us against claims. Perhaps a review of our inspection criteria would be in
order. Also, I suggest that perhaps a "petition and waiver process" be implemented whereby residents can
utilize City bids and administrated contracts to do miscellaneous improvements in the public right-of-way.
They would have to waive their appeal rights, thus, allowing the City to specially assess those improvements
under perhaps a three to five year repayment schedule. Further information will be forwarded to the City
Council on this concept.
8)LIBRARY POLICY MANUAL--
The administrative policy manual for the Library is on file in my office. If the Council wishes to review
the manual or obtain a copy of the procedures, please contact Bonnie and she will make it available.
9)CITY HOUSING/DEVELOPMENT DAY --
Many cities have had great promotional success with organizing a City/Housing Development Fair. Mickey
Rooney recently attended such an event in Brooklyn Park. In Faribault, we conducted similar events
whereby the City officials provided information to realtors, developers, lawyers, or businesses interested
in relocating to the city. Also, a housing and remodeling show or exhibit was organized for the general
citizenry. This fair included exhibits by local building orientated businesses along with programs on special
financing that could be available to property owners. The purpose of the fair is not only to promote the
positive aspects of the community, but provide the citizens with ideas and opportunities on improving their
property. Please provide me with your input and interest in pursuing such a concept.
10)WORK SESSION SCHEDULE--
A work session has been scheduled for Monday, May 3, 1993, in the City Hall Conference Room. Two
councilmembers have indicated a concern with starting the meeting at 3:00 PM as opposed to perhaps a 5:30
PM starting time. I would like to establish a additional work session in May, perhaps on May 17, 1993.
Please indicate your preferences as to meeting dates.

They wish to redeem these materials thems�lves to earn more money. Other bins were added to supplement
those already in ,.place for office paper and magazines.
4) Hazardous Waste Collection
Ano'ka County held a ha.zardous waste collection at the ,Fail'grounds March 27 for the citie·s of Andover,
Ham Lake aild Oak Grove. I volunteered at the collection, administering surveys to participants. According
to the surveys, 6 residents of zip code $5421 made use of the collection. I am referring people to Anoka
for all hazardous waste questions. The.se residents are then being informed of future collections.
5)Conferences
I attended the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's annual Solid Waste Conference in Minneapolis. Once
again it was very worthwhile. Aside from the opportunity to network with other professionals, an excellent
presentation by the Office of Waste Management yielded numerous ideas which will be incorporated into
a waste reduction workshop in the planning stages for employees of the City. The Recycling Association
of MN also had its annual meeting in March, which I attended. Through this group it may be possible to
develop cable programming for government access on waste management topics.
6)Solid Waste Advisory Task Force
Anoka County and other metropolitan counties are exploring how several lawsuits challenging solid waste
designation ordinances (which direct wastes to particular facilities) may affect us. According to El
Tinklenberg, Anoka County Division Manager for Public Services, a case involving Martin and Faribault
Counties resulted in an Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that their designation ordinance violated the
Interstate Commerce Clause. It was a broad ruling that may subject our Anoka County designation
ordinance to the same opinion. If so, loss of designation would have a negative impact on the financial life
of the integrated waste system as currently structured. It could also adversely effect the system itself. The
county staff has prepared a series of options for consideration which were discussed at the April 7 meeting
and will be revisited May 5. The upshot of this may be a reduction in the tipping fee at Elk River, in order
to stay competitive with landfills in Iowa and/or the Dakotas, where waste would probably go in the absence
of designation. In order to maintain the system and its financial integrity, user fees, or taxes, etc. are a
possibility.
7)•Neighborhoods Clean Up!•
At the behest of the Fire Department, which begins inspections in the so-called Grid 8, we initiated a clean
up day. The intent was to provide an opportunity to get rid of tires in the area, which are a major reason
for ticketing. We arranged to have tires de-rimmed at Paul's Pro Service Station; a truck from ACAP was
available to pick up reuseables, and BFI made a special sweep through the neighborhood for refuse and
appliances. During March the Special Project Coordinator met several times-with the Volunteer
Coordinator, the Fire Inspectors (Matt Field, Gary Gorman) and Chief, Officer Val Dietz, and BFI. I also
visited all the business between 45th and 49th on Central, handing out flyers and speaking with the
managers. Finally, I attended the monthly Multi-unit Managers/Landlord meeting which Randy Bartlett
and Val Dietz chair. A further report will be included in the April report.

It has do to with the current level of activity in our off ice and specifically the pumber of active city files. our retainer agreement with the City is predicated on hours worked. We are billing the City for paralegal time as well as lawyer-time.
The work load has recently been substantial as a result of several litigations. The City is actively involved in the litigation regarding the MBRS (testing for police officers), litigation involving the city of Hilltop in which we are the plaintiff, and litigation involving Zaidan in which we are the defendant.
In addition, there have been very heavy criminal calendars. Every other month is a jury trial month which is usually a higher demand month.
There has been an unusual amount of activity lately which was not initiated by our firm. Hopefully both the civil and criminal files will slow down. Much of the work on MPRS, Zaidan, and Hilltop we cannot control. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please feel free to call.
ly yours,
WILLS, WOODS,

JUNK CAR CLEAN UP t
DATE: APRIL 22, 1993
I contacted Joe Sroga today for a reference check on a potential employee. After our discussion, he
introduced the following idea which he has implemented in a few surrounding cities. It sounds
worthwhile and would benefit the City and the taxpayers. Briefly:
One week clean up of junk cars. Residents would call the City. Sroga's would schedule
them for pickup. They must have a title or other necessary paperwork. Sroga's would
waive all fees (towing, etc.). The proceeds from the metal and/or possible sale would
all go toward the D.A.R.E. Program.
He has done this in a neighboring city (twice per year) which resulted in approximately $600. I
thought it might be worth looking into; and, thus, have forwarded on his information. For more
details, Joe may be contacted at 789-4245.

Attention: Ms. Linda L. Magee, Assistant to City Manager
RE: Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Communications Franchise Expenses
Dear Ms. Magee:
OF COUNSEL
DOUGLAS .J. PETERSON
CERTIFIED REAL ESTATE LAW SPECIALIST
I have been asked to respond to your letter of March 31, 1993 to the Hilltop City Clerk. Seemingly, each year, at least for the past few years, we have gone through a perhaps rancorous process regarding cable television expense billing. Each year, Hill top has complained that the billing has been lacking in any detail and particulars, and I think in most years we have eventually reached a compromise. While we have agreed to pay a proportionate share of the expenses of the cable commission, Hilltop has never agreed to pay Columbia Heights for a share of the City Manager's salary or the salary of any other employee of Columbia Heights. Hilltop has never agreed to pay any portion of legal expense that Columbia Heights may incur. An exception would be the cable commission secretary who may otherwise be a full-time Columbia Heights employee. We understand that her compensation is $70. 00 per commission meeting.
Not only did we not authorize or agree to the apportionment of services in 1992 wherein the Columbia Heights City Manager spent 10% of his time on cable television matters and the Assistant City Manager spent 151 of her time on cable matters, we simply cannot fathom how or why the cable system should require hundreds of hours and thousands and thousands of dollars of top administrative time and talent. For instance, what did you do in 1992 that caused you to spend 15% of your time on cable television matters? Whatever it may have been, it assumedly had nothing to do with the City of Hilltop, was not for Hilltop's benefit, and was certainly not requested by the City of Hilltop.
IU
u
Ms. Linda L. Magee April 19, 1993 Page 2
If the billing is meant to reflect time spent by Columbia Heights on the cable franchise transfer, then it is necessary for you to understand that the City of Hilltop went through the same process of approving the transfer and its council, clerk and city attorney likewise devoted substantial amounts of time to the franchise transfer including the preparation and adoption of ordinances. Both cities had to essentially go through the same process of approval of the transfer.
It simply has never occurred to the City of Hilltop to attempt to charge back its administrative time and costs to either the commission or the City of Columbia Heights.
To the best of our knowledge , while we are being billed for a proportionate share of the 501 of time spent by the special projects coordinator, I don't believe that the Hilltop Council even knows who that individual is but certainly that person bas never worked on a special project for Hilltop. Either we have a very substantial breakdown in communications or the person in question works exclusively on Columbia Heights projects. To the best of our knowledge, neither Hilltop nor any of its citizens have ever used the access channels. Each community has essentially dealt with cable television as it deemed best. Columbia Heights may make substantial use of access channels for its council, commissions and for its citizen projects. Philosophically, Hilltop has only attempted to provide cable service to its residents.
It would appear that Hilltop should certainly share on a proporti.onal basis the $70.00 per meeting expense of the cable commission secretary. Likewise, Hilltop should share in the $1987.68 of expense for travel/eonfe.rences/schools, $2339.65 of expense for subscriptions/memberships/miscellaneous charges and $36.35 of expense for postage and telephone assuming that the latter expenses were generated by the cable commission and/or its secretary. As your letter points out, the c.ommission attorney services were reimbursed in the Hauser transfer. In fact, since the total attorney fees for 1992 were $23,836.62 both for the commission attorney and the Columbia Heights City Attorney, it appears that the reimbursement for attorney cost of $24,969.52 was in excess of the commission attorney costs and the Columbia Heights attorney costs. Was the balance meant to compensate Hilltop for its legal expense in approving the franchise transfer?
Unfortunately, Hilltop and Columbia Heights seem to have almost an endless number of matters in !==Ontroversy. It is my sincere wish and intent to not find one more thing to argue about or litigate. Unfortunately, this cable matter has-dragged on through the years. I believe that there have even been years when Hilltop requested a
�
I
Ms. Linda L. Magee April 19, 1993 Page 3
breakdown of expenses and we then heard nothing further from Columbia Heights. As I recall, in another year, we argued about legal costs when Columbia Heights decided to sue the cable company. In another year, we simply settled the expense matter by allowing Columbia Heights to keep the entire proceeds of a bond.
As with most problems that afflict us, this problem may result primarily from a failure to communicate. I can tell you however that the Hilltop Council feels very uncomfortable when it is billed for a proportionate share of the salaries of Columbia Heights employees. For instance, as to the 15% of employee services you rendered to cable television, what was it that you did, why did you do it, what input did Hilltop have, and what benefit inured to Hilltop? It is possible that the Columbia Heights administration and council were totally unaware that Hilltop had to go through the very same franchise approval process as did Columbia Heights. We had the same cable company attorneys and representatives appearing at Hilltop Council meetings as appeared in Columbia Heights. I spent significant amounts of time meeting with the cable company attorney working on the details of the necessary Hilltop resolution and ordinance.
One long term solution may be to have Hilltop participate in the administration process. Another solution may be to create an offset by having Hilltop charge back its personal services related to the cable commission and cable television. Since the franchise has been in place for a number of years, a partial solution may be better communications wherein Columbia Heights explains why such significant amounts of · time and effort are being devoted to administering cable television. For you to be spending more than one hour of each working day on cable television matters is absolutely mind-boggling unless the cable system is so screwed up that there is a daily problem of crisis proportions. This is particularly true where the city manager is spending more than 45 minutes each day on cable television matters. Likewise, Mr. Anderson's secretary was also allegedly devoting more than one hour of each working day to cable television matters.
Unless the system is totally out of control, the Hilltop Council simply does not understand what is going on.
Finally, the expenses and cost distribution being at issue, I assume that you will not be claiming service charges u.ntil such time as we can resolve the amount in dispute. I would be happy to meet with you and/or representatives of the finance department to seek some clarification and resolution of this issue. Also, if the Columbia Heights Council has directed staff any significant amounts of time in 1993 on cable television related matters, could you

please advise us up front so that the Hilltop Council has some understanding of what will be· occurring in 1993.

March 31, 1993
June Johnston, Auistant Finance Director, forwarded your letter dated March 17, 1993, (and received by the City on March 25, 1993) to me regarding cable television ezpenses. The City of Columbia Heights has served in the capacity of administrator of the Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Communications Franchise since a cable franchise was first granted more than ten years ago. Ezpenses incurred have been distributed between the two communities on the basis of average annual number of subscribers between the two communities.
The time apponioned under personal services for 1992 was;::,as follows:City Manager ..•••...••••••••••••••••..• -::.-•••• " ••• 109E, Assistant to the City Manager • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 15% City Manager's Secretary ••••••••••• !. ::r-�;,;-,$'! •••••••• 159' Special Projects Coordinator ••••••••• � •••• � ••••••••••• 50% Cable Commiuion Secretary ••••••••••••••• � ••••••••• S70/meeting
These figures are based on the budgeted amount of time spent in the activities related to the administration of the cable franchise and programming activities related to the access channeli. This is derived based on preTious years. No time is charged or induded for time incurred by the Finance Department staff due to Columbia Heights serving u the administrator of the franchise.
You questioned what services were provided by legal counsel totaling over S23,000. These services were provided by Tom Creighton, the Attorney for the Cable Commission. The reason it was relatively 11,igher this year than in the past is because of the time involved in the transfer of ownership of the cable system. It should be noted, however, tha! .. c_c>.2ssociated wi. · "th the uan.sfer were not charged to you, as they were reimbursed

Re: cable television franchise expenses, your Februaey 8, 1993 letter
Ms. Johnston,
'lbe above referenced letter and request for reilrhlrsemmt was presented to the Hilltop City Council at its March meeti.JxJ. Before authorizing the $3370.03 expenditure, the COlmcil directed ne to obtain m:>re infozmation fran you about certain expenses.
'!he Council would l:ike to know what particular services were provided by legal counsel \tthich total over $23,000.001 what specific joint franchise matters received counsel's attention? Also, the Camell would like to know what foDID.lla is followed to apportion t:ilre of persons listed-under "Personal Services". 'lb date, Hilltop has never charged the joint franchise for aey :resources or t:ilre of Hilltop's franchise :representative, City Attorney, City Council or City Clerk. Perhaps a foIIIUla similar to your own will be adopted in the future to charge the joint franchise for the services of t.lx:>se persons nentioned above.
l'ru.le the Hilltop City Council is J1Dre than happy to pay the City's fair share of joint franchise a:mni.ssion expenses, a:runcilmembers do not feel aey obligati.cm to reimburse the City of Columbia Heights. for expenditures wch appear to have been made \ffl8l'l certain persons were actirq cm behalf of the City, rather than the joint franchise cx:mnission.
If you have aey questions, ·please feel f:cee to c:cntact ·ne at the number shown above. If it is possible, . I would like to be able to respond to the Camell' s questions at Hilltq>'s next regular meetilq cm April s, 1993, so :reinhlrsement is not delayed 1cnger than is necessaey.

As can be seen from this breakdown, costs are being distributed between the two communities on the basis of the average annual number of subscn'ben between our two communities. The costs are pro-rated on the bas� of the number of subsaibers within each community as compared to the total number of subsaibers in the cable service territory. The results of this calculation is that the Oty of Hilltop is responsible for $3,370.03 of the total cost as previously Indicated.
J would a.ppredate the City Council authorizing reimbursement of $3,370.03 u the City of Hilltop's net share of related expenses associated with administering the joint cable communications franchise. For your information, I have attached a more detailed explanation of expenses associated with each major object of expenses.

Dear Chief Mawhorter,

l(t ,r,""'
During a 'WOrk session of the Hilltop City Council mich took place last evening, several concems �e raised by the Council and citizens in attendance which the Council has directed ne to convey to you and solicit a response fran you mereappropriate.
'lhe first matter concerns police response to ccmplaints of loud parties, peace disturbances and other such offenses which typically are handled by first issuing a warning :to the offending person(s). After discussion, the Council decided they \\Ullld prefer :that a citatiop be issued during the first police contact, where the police have witnessed the offending behavior or have the cooperation 6f a carplaining neighbor who is willing to sign the ccmplaint. By not allCMing persons a second chance to becane a problen, the COuncil hopes to deter the type s of behavior which result in neighbor carplaints and discanfort. 'lhe Council welccmes your response to this approach as well as any feedback later after the enforcement change has been anployed by your officers.
'!be second matter concerns alleged criminal activity taking place at the Starlite ?-btel. 'lhe Mayor and Council have been told of considerable anounts of prostitution occurring at the notel. '!his infonnation cane as a surprise to sane, but was regarded by others at the neeting as a:xmon knowledge. 'lhe Camell 'WOU.ld like to know ""nether the Colunbia Heights Police Department has ever investigated, conducted any raids or made any arrests for prostitution at the Starlite.
'llle third ooncem is the visible, felt police presence in Hilltop. I, personally, field frequent questions of police \\hereabouts. When I hear �lamts about the perceived absence of police presence in Hilltop, I direct people to contact you, Officer Randy Bartlett or anyone else at the police department. l0lether this advice is followed, I do not know. Nonetheless, this cat;>laint is recurrent. Please respond to this concern.
Chief David Mawhorter Page 2
Finally, the Mayor and Council "'10Uld like a declarative, definitive statenent franyou con� the cxrmumity officer program \ohich Hilltop oontrib.ltes grant nonies to. l�ile the broad, holistic objectives of cc:mruni.ty policing were understood by those �mo participated in discussion with you t,.hen the Council was approached tohelp ftmd the program, it is not at all clear to anyone what is specifically being aca:xrplished through this program. What are the visible, tangible benefits to this program mich the cxrmumity should be seeing? By your estimation, t,.hatprogress has been accx:rrrplished with this program? How, in particular, are pr�am tine, effort and resources spent within the Hilltop cxrmumity? Increased police visibility and presence was,. assuned by many to be one ·Hilltop benefit of the program. '!his, as you may sunnise fran the �laints, has not resulted. 'lhe general oonsensus of those \fflO speak out is that not.ltlng appears to have changed in tenns of police service to the Hilltop ccmmmi.ty. Please advise the Council if there are benefits or other signs of progress fran the program mich have been overlooked.
Please feel free to oontact me with any questions regarding the contents of this letter. If you \onlld prefer to respond directly to the Council, the next meeting
is scheduled for l-bnday, April 5, 1993 at 7:00 PM at Hilltop City �11. If you decide to attend, please contact me by March 31 so I can put a visit with youon the meeting agenda.

(612) 782-2800
Recently you received a Public Hearing Notice for P .LR. #881, Hazardous Sidewalk
Repair. This Public Hearing was held on April 19, 1993, and the project was
rejected by the City Council.
As this project was not app.rovcd, those portions of your sidewalk that had been
marked as h87.8Jdous will not be repaired and you will .mn be assessed as indicated
on the Public Hearing Notice.
If you would like to have your sidewalk repaiml, then, arc two methods available:
1. If you intend to replace the sidewalk yourself or have your own conttactor
do the repair, you will need to obtain a Street Excavation Permit for $10.00
from the City before the work is begun. For more information on Street
Excavation Permits, call 782-2880.
2.You can have the sidewalk repaired through the City's Miscellaneous
Concrete Contract. Io this case you will be billed for the work at the
contract cost. The work would be done this summer and statements would
be sent out in the fall. H you are interested in having your sidewalk repaired
under lhis contract. please fill out and return the bottom portion of this leuer
on or before May 7, 1993. By retuming th.e form you arc !!fil committing
yourself to having the work done. After the contract is accepted by the City
Council, we will contact each person retumfag the form with an a.ctuaJ cost
based on lhe contract. At t11at lime you will be asked if you wish to commit
to the repairs.
Bach year the condition of the sidewalks will get worse and the probability for an
accidental trip or slip will grow, along whh the potential liability for such an
accidenL By having your sidewalk repamd now, either on your own or through the
Miscellaneous Concrete contract, you can avoid a future assessment for this work
and the administrative costs related to an assessment.
