5.OPEN MIKE/PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS
Two residents of the Sheffield Neighborhood stated their feelings regarding the improvements in their area. They have noticed dramatic improvements in behavior and safety. They are encouraged with what has been started by the City Council and expressed their support.
A letter, signed by nearly sixty property owners, landlords and tenants in the area, was presented to the Council. The letter indicated support for continued police patrols and visibility and the positive progress which has been noticed. The letter was entered into the record.
The resident at 3981 Reservoir Boulevard had questions regarding a recent article in a local newspaper. The article suggested that �egal action may be pursued against the City on behalf of some tenants who were moved out of their apartments. It had also been suggested that these vacated properties could be taken away from the owners by the City until they meet code. The City Manager responded that legal action had only been suggested but is unlikely. He also felt the courts would be hard pressed to take properties away from landlords.
Councilmember Ruettimann requested that three items (Annual Water Testing Fee, Authorization to Purchase IBM AS400, and Special Tax on Refuse Service) be removed from the agenda.
These i terns were of concern to Counci !member Nawrocki who could not be in attendance at this meeting.

ITEM: RESOLUTION FOR COLLECTION BY: JUNE JOHNSTON/ B�
NO:
OF WATER TESTING FEE WIL�RITE �-A. DATE: AUGUST 17, 1993
In accordance with Minnesota Statute (Laws of Minnesota, 1992, Chapter 513, Article 6, Section 2),
the City of Columbia Heights is required to remit an annual fee of $5.21 for every service connection
served by the City's water supply. This fee must be paid to the State Department of Revenue inquarterly installments.
The City Council previously authorized that 50% of this fee, or $2.61, be charged to each service
connection property. The remaining balance was expended from the Water Fund.
In 1993, the City of Minneapolis again increased rates to the City of Columbia Heights for the
purchase of its water supply. The City did not pass this increase on to the consumer. It isanticipated that Minneapolis will continue to increase rates in future years. The City has a minimal
balance in the retained earnings account in the Water Construction Fund to fund future replacement
of water lines. Because of this, decisions will be required to determine what fees to pass on to the
consumer.
As the water rate increase from the City of Minneapolis was not passed on to the utility customers in
Columbia Heights it is staff's recommendation that the $5.21 water testing fee be collected from each
service connection and that the fee be placed on the utility bill as an annual miscellaneous billing with it
clearly delineated that this is a State water testing fee.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the Resolution, there being ample copiesavailable to the general public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 93---J being a resolution for Collection of

ITEM: EARLY RETIREMENT INCENTIVES
NO: ,. (3.
Attached is a resolution which would offer eligible employees the early retirement incentive option of the
increase in the multiplier percentage used to calculate the retirement annuity, as authorized under Laws
1993, Chapter 192, Section 108.
Eligibility for the incentive program is limited to employees who:
•Have at least 25 years of combined service credit in any state pension plan or are at least age 65 with at least
one year of combined credit;
•Are immediately eligible upon retirement for an annuity from a defined benefit plan;
•Are at least 55 years old, and,
•Retire on or after May 17, 1993, and before January 31, 1994.
Nine individuals would be eligible for this early retirement incentive option. Three of those individuals
have expressed an interest in the City making the early retirement incentive available.
The option recbmmended would result in no direct cost to the City or its taxpayers. Rather, in most cases,
employees eligible for this incentive are at their wage and benefit maximums and authorized replacements
would start at entry level wages and benefit accumulations.
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution.

Members present: William Marshall, Steve Riner

Sara Harms, Engineering Intern
Sara Hanns made a presentation to the members on a proposed catch basin stenciling program.
This program is part of a public education program related to stonn water. The public education
program is a requirement of the stormwater discharge permit of which Columbia Heights is a co
permittee with Minneapolis.
The catch basin stenciling program would consist of providing kits to volunteer groups to paint
a stencil at each catch basin which will read "No Dumping -Drains to Pond". The intent is to
remind people that anything dumped into a catch basin or washed to a catch basin does not go
to the sanitary sewer system for treatment, but to a pond, lake or the river.
It is proposed to do a pilot project in the Highland Lake watershed and to use a high school
science class for volunteers. Other areas of the City that drain to ponds would then be done next
year and eventually the areas that drain directly to tb.1: river.
Additionally, staff is working on a brochure to be disttibuted to residents on lawn fertilizing, leaf
and yard waste dumping, and other ways that residents can help protect surface water resources.
Eventually a video for the Government Access Channel may be produced.
As there was not a quorum for the meeti ng, no official action was taken. The members present
endorsed the program. A presentation will be made to the City Council at their August 23, 1993
meeting.

ITEM: PURCHASE OF IBM AS400 BY: JUNE JOHNSTON Q-\-�. NO:
WIL�LRITE B. A. w
PATE: AUGUST 17, 1993
This item was tabled at the August 9, 1993 City Council meeting and discussed at the August 16, 1993
worksession.
In 1988, the City purchased an IBM System 36 to process financial applications, payroll and utility
billing. Since that time, the City has added purchase orders, accounts receivable, fixed assets, and
HRA financial and payroll. These additions have resulted in increased demands for disk space. Even
though the System 36 has been upgraded with increased memory, we are again in the position where
it will soon be necessary to upgrade the system or to purchase a new AS400 system.
The advantages of purchasing a new AS400 system are newer technology and speed thereby
increasing staff efficiency and productivity. Also, if the City purchases an AS400 System in 1993, the
cost to update all applications by our software vendor is $5,050. If the purchase is made after 1993,
the cost to update all applications would be approximately $11,000.
Total costs for an AS400 would include $38,424 for hardware, $5,050 for software conversion and
$3,700 for installation, training and fine tuning of the system. There was $25,000 budgeted in the
Finance Department budget in 1993 for hardware and $5,000 for software conversion. Also, the City
would be able to sell the System 36 for $4,000.
Additional appropriations will be necessary to purchase the AS400 of $9,424 for hardware and $3,700
for installation and training. If the City does not purchase a new system, the alternative is to spend
additional funds to update an older system that is slow and technologically inferior and that has a
declining resale value.
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the purchase of an IBM AS400 Computer System for
$38,424 based on the state contract price.
Recommended Motion: Move to authorize the sale of the IBM System 36 at a price of $4,000 or
higher based on informal bid .

CITY MANAGER'S
BY: L. MAGE� DA TE: 08/18/9,
This item was tabled from the meeting of August 9, 1993, for further discussion and review at a Council Work Session. At its meeting of April 12, 1993, the City Council authorized staff to seek proposals for architectural services for the design and preparation of specifications for a lift and unisex restroom at the Columbia Heights Public Library.
The City of Columbia Heights sent out requests for proposals to eighteen architectural firms and accepted them until July 30. Eight proposals were received.
Staff reviewed the proposals and contacted three firms for interviews: Sessing Architects, Inc. JRP Architects TSP One, Inc., Architects and Engineers
Staff recommends the contract be awarded to TSP One, Inc., Architects and Engineers based on the following:
•It is a full service architectural, engineering and planning firm. All work will be done internally, notcontracted out.
•TSP, One, Inc. has experience in designing modifications to comply with the Americans withDisabilities Act and extensive experience with lift/ elevator design.
•Their proposal was comprehensive and complete. The proposal, along with the follow up interview,indicated a clear understanding of the project.
•It is the opinion of staff that TSP One, Inc. will provide the best and most reliable results for the dollar.
•Reference checks indicated TSP One, Inc., is a credible, established firm which has a reputation forbeing cooperative with their clients.
Based on the recommendation of TSP One, Inc., staff proposes undertaking the design phase including cost estimates and meeting with the State Elevator Inspector for approval of the plan. At that point, the City can decide if they want to go through thLtJ>idding phase or not undertake the project. • RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to awar----..--·-tract to TSP One, Inc. for architectural services for the design and bid specifications for the installation of a Ii t am:t-,m,etaifications of the lower level restrooms at the Columbia Heights Library to meet Americans with Disabilities reqwre ta cost not to exceed $7,990 as outlined in their proposal date Joly 30, 1993.

New Fees on Waste Collection Servic8s E'y t L
June1993
If you provide waste collection services, or if you
bill for waste collection services, a recent law
change may affect you. The law change, effective
July 1, 1993, imposes new fees on customers who
purchase mixed municipal solid waste collection
services. The amount of the waste assessment
fees are based on whether the customer is a
residential customer or a nonresidential cus
tomer. For details refer to the enclosed revenue
notice and the article on the back of this notice
titled "Mixed Municipal Solid Waste". Informa
tion concerning these fees can also be found in
the revised fact sheet, Waste Collection and
Disposal Services, which is available on request
from our office.
The person who bills for the waste collection
service is responsible for collecting and remitting
the new waste assessment fees on their sales and
use tax returns. This includes governmental
entities who provide waste collection services
with their own vehicles, or subcontract for the
services through a hauler and bill the citizens.
Reporting the new fees: The waste assessment
fees will be reported on your sales and use tax
returns. We are in the process of updating the
returns and the system used to process them.
l!ll 2 1""3vu_ JoJ
CLERKCl').o: CQJurn.ra l:i,Qi Beginning tn September, your returns wur !Us
include separate lines to report the sales tax
on waste collection and disposal services and
the new waste assessment fees. Refer to the
article on the back of this notice for informa-
tion on the new returns.
U you file your sales and use tax returns on a
monthly basis, you will start reporting the
fees collected from nonresidential customers on
your July sales tax return, due in August.
Because the revised returns will not be avail
able until September, amounts collected
should be reported as adjustments on line 11
of your July and August sales and use tax
returns. List the amount collected from the
nonresidential fees on line 11 and add it to
other amounts reported on your return. If
you file your returns on a quarterly or annual
basis, the returns you receive for these peri
ods will include the lines you need to report
these fees.
You are not required to report the fees col
lected from residential customers until you file
your September sales and use tax return that
is due in October. The September return will
have the new lines for reporting these fees.

Mixed Municipal Solid Waste Assessment
Persons who collect mixed municipal solid waste,
including those who bill for waste collection ser
vice5, will be required to charge a fee to their
customers on waste collection services. Different
fees apply depending on whether the customer is
considered residential or nonresidential:
Residential -A S2.00 annual fee applies to residen
tial customers receiving waste collection services on
July 1 uch year. Persons billing for waste collection
services are required to collect the fee and report it
on the September saJes tax return. Amounts re
ceived after September 30 are due with the next
sales tax return.
Nonresidential -A fee of 12 cents per
noncompacted cubic yard of waste collection
capacity purchased applies to all nonresjdential
customers. This fee applies to waste collection
services performed after June 30, 1993 regardless of
when the services were billed. Amounts collected
are due with the next sales tax return.
These fees are not subject to Minnesota or local sales
or use taxes. Persons billing for waste collection
services must bill and collect the assessment from
all customers, except the federal government,
regardless of where the customer is located or
where the waste is disposed, unless both the cus
tomer and disposal site are outside of Minnesota.
Coming soon: new sales and use tax forms
The sales and use tax return and the system to
process it are getting a facelift this fall -the first
since 1967 when sales tax started in Minnesota. But
the changes promise to be more than cosmetic: each
business soon will receive returns that include only
the lines that pertain to their business, rather than
the �-rent one-size-fits-all form.
.
For example, if you sell liquor, your return will
have a single line for reporting your liquor sales at
9%, rather than the two separate lines you must
now use. If you sell farm machinery at the 2.5%
rate and report Rochester city tax, separate lines to
report those items will-be included on your return.
Oty taxes, the S7.50 car rental tax, and the tax on
900 telephone services will also be reported on the
same return.
This "customized" approach to reporting and
remitting sales and use tax is made possible by the
infonnation provided on the Business Registration
Update, that monthly and quarterly filers com
pleted earlier this year. The information you pro
vided will also help us tailor publications and other
information to meet your business needs.
To accommcdate the changes in the sales and use
tax returns, we have also aeated a new·processing
system that was designed to greatly reduce process
ing time and data entry errors.
We expect the new system to be working in time to
process the September 1993 sales and use tax return
(due in October). A sample of your new custom
ized sales and use tax return will be sent out in
early August. The actual filing forms and new
instruction booklets will be sent out late in Septem
ber. (Annual filers will receive a registration update
and sample return sometime later this fall.) In the
meantime, monthly filers will receive sales and use
tax returns indi\'idually for the months of July and
August, instead of a coupon book.
We hope that these changes will simplify your sales
tax filings, reduce paperwork, provide better and
faster information for your business, and reduce the
costs of administering this tax, for you as well as for
the Department of Revenue.

MINNESOTA Department of Revenue . '2> \9�'3 jU1.. Revenue Notice #93-12: .. r·,•,· o�Assessment for Collection of Mixed Munia'],iil Sol-id Waste June 21, 1993
General Information Minnesota Statutes§ 116.07, subd. 10, effective July 1, 1993, provides that persons who collect mixed municipal solid waste shall collect an assessment from each customer and remit it to the commissioner of revenue. Waste collectors are required to remit the assessments along with their regular remittance of sales tax on solid waste collection services. Local governments which bill for solid waste collection services are considered "waste collectors." The assessments will be deposited in the environmental fund, and will be used mainly for landfill cleanup.
Residential Customers What is a residential customer? A residential customer is someone who pays for waste collection services for a building with one to four dwelling units. If the building has more than four dwelling units, the customer is considered a nonresidential customer. A home operated business will be treated as a nonresidential customer. U the building has four or less dwelling units, but also has one or more units not used for dwelling purposes, such as a store or a restaurant, then the customer is considered a nonresidential customer.
What is the assessment? Each waste collector must annually bill and collect a $2 solid waste assessment from each residential customer that the collector has as of July 1 of each year. A residential customer who receives collection services as of July 1 for more than one location, for example a primary dwelling and a vacation home, will be assessed $2 for each location.
When must the waste collector remit the assessments? To allow for different collection schedules, the waste collector is not required to remit the assessments until after October 1 of each year, along with the first remittance of sales tax on solid waste collection services. Any assessments collected after October 1 must be remitted along with the next remittance of sales tax.
Nonresidential Customers What is a nonresidential customer? A nonresidential customer is someone who does not qualify as a.residential customer. For example, the waste may be collected for industry or businesses, including home-operated-businesses such as day care, beauticians, or craft businesses; dwellings with more than four dwelling units; and such places as churches, nursing homes, nonprofit associations, and schools.
What is the assessment? Each waste collector must bill and collect an assessment of 12 cents per noncompacted cubic yard of periodic waste collection capacity purchased by each nonresidential customer. The capacity of a "noncompacted cubic yard" means the number of loose cubic yards of mixed municipal solid waste, and is based on the size of the waste collection container. "Periodic waste collection" means each time the container is emptied (for example, a 2 cubic yard dumpster will pay 24 cents each time it is emptied). The assessment must be collected as part of each

TOO: Twin Cities, 297-2196, or Minnesota Relay System, toll-free 1 ·800-627-3529
statement for payment of waste collection charges. The following examples are helpful in under
standing how the assessment is calculated:
Example 1: if the customer has contracted for collection of 2 noncompacted cubic yards of
mixed municipal solid waste, 3 times a week, and is billed every 3 months, each statement will
include an assessment of S9.36. That is, $0.12 X 2 (noncompaded cubic yard capacity) X 3 (times
a week) X 13 weeks (i.e., 3 months) s 59.36.
Example 2: ii the capacity is 2 noncompacted cubic yards, collected 2 times a week, and
the customer is billed every month, the assessment is S2.08. That is, S0.12 X 2 (capacity) X 2 (times a week) X 4.33 weeks (i.e., 1 month) = $2.08.
Example 3: In example 2, if the capacity purchased is instead for 2 compacted cubic yards
per week, then the capacity will be calculated based on an average compaction ratio of 3:1. Thus,
each statement will include an assessment of 56.24. That is, 2.08 (the assessment amount based
on a noncompacted cubic yard capacity) X 3 (the average compaction ratio)= $6.24.
When must the waste coJJector remit the assessments? The amount collected as part of each
statement for payment of waste collection charges must be remitted along with the next remit
tance of sales tax. For monthly filers who collect on monthly statements, all assessments collected
for July of 1993 are a part of the July return due in August, 1993. For quarterly filers, the waste
assessments collected for July, August, and September of 1993 are a part of the quarterly return
due October 20, 1993.
Assessments and the sales tax base
The solid waste assessments for either residential or nonresidential customers are not part of the
sales tax base. Waste co])ectors must not charge their customers sales tax on the assessments.
Self-haulers
Some people do not use the services of waste collectors, but haul their own waste to the landfills.
Do self-haulers have to pay a solid-waste assessment? No, the law applies only to those who
collect and remit sales tax on solid waste collection services under Minn. Stat. § 297 A.45. The
assessment does not apply to self-haulers.
Out-of-state customers or landfills
Waste collectors must collect the assessment from all customers, regardless of where the customer lives, or where the landfill is.., unless both the customer and the landfill are out-of-state. "
Coming soon: new sales

Beginning July 1, 1993, equipment used for
electronically transmitting inf onnation to a
customer of an on-line computerized data re
trieval system, and replacement machinery and
equipment used in the mining or production of
taconite, regardless of whether the facility has
been expanded, qualify as capital equipment.
Language was also added to clarify the
department's position in administering the
capital equipment exemption. Some of the
clarifications include:
•capital equipment (except for the above men
tioned equipment) is limited to mach inery and
equipment used to manufacture tangible
personal property and for the generation of
electricity or steam;
•capital equipment does not include accessories
purchased as spare parts, repair parts, or as
modifications or upgrades before or after the
capital equipment is placed in service; building
materials, including materials used for founda
tions for machinery or equipment; machinery
or equipment used for nonproduction pur
poses; and fann machinery, special tooling and
aquaculture production equipment;

Registration of Snowmobiles
and Watercraft
It is no longer necessary to file form UT-lW when
registering a snowmobile or watercraft if the
purchase was made from a Minnesota retailer.
The term Minnesota retailer includes dealers
located outside Minnesota that are registered to
collect and remit Minnesota sales tax. When
registering the snowmobile or watercraft, the
purchaser must provide documentation to show
that the Minnesota sales tax was paid. If the
snowmobile or watercraft is purchased from an

tax on advertising materials which have been
produced and distributed for them by a business
located outside of Minnesota that is not regis
tered to collect Minnesota tax. Since the out-of
state business does not collect sales or use tax on

Special Taxes
Mixed Municipal Solid Waste
Assessment
Persons who collect mixed municipal solid waste,
including those who bill for waste collection
services, will be required to charge a fee to their
customers on waste collection services. Different
fees apply depending on whether the customer is
considered residential or nonresidential:
Residential -A $2.00 annual fee applies to
residential customers receiving waste collection
services on July 1 each year. Persons billing for
waste collection services are required to collect
the fee and report it on the September sales tax
return. Amounts received after September 30 are
due with the next sales tax return.
Nonresidential -A fee of 12 cents per
noncompacted cubic yard of waste collection
capacity purchased applies to all nonresidential
customers. This fee applies to waste collection
services performed after June 30, 1993 regardless
of when the services were billed. Amounts
collected are due with the next sales tax return.
These fees are not subject to Minnesota or local
sales or use taxes. Persons billing for waste
collection services must bill and collect the assess
ment from all customers, except the federal
government, regardless of where the customer is
located or where the waste is disposed, unless
both the customer and disposal site are outside of
Minnesota.
Additional information will be provided to waste
haulers and local governments and "'ill also be
available upon request from our office.
Effective July 1, 1993.
900 Telephone Services
The $.50 tax on 900 calls is imposed if the call for
that service originates from a telephone located in
Minnesota. The law also provides that the person
billing for the service is responsible for collecting
the tax. An exemption is provided for 976 calls, if
the charge for the call is less than $1.00. Effective
July 1, 1993.
For additional information on the waste assessment
fees or the 900 telephone services, contact tlie Special
Taxes Division at 297-1882 in the .metro area, or toll
free 1-800-657-3618.
Other Sales Tax ls�ues
The following articles are in addition to the law
changes discussed above and provide inforn,a
tion on other sales tax issues.
Sales Tax Rules Revised
Copies of the following revised rules are avail
able by calling the State Register at 297-3000.
•Agricultural and industrial production,
rule 8130.5500, became effective on April 12, 1993.
(Ask for" 17 S.R. 969 and 2369'')
5
•Waste collection and disposal, rule
8130.2100, became effective on February 22, 1993.
(Ask for "17 S.R. 847 and 2008")
•Advertising, rule 8130.9200 was eliminated
and replaced with advertising rule 8130.925.
(Ask for "17 S.R. 1152")
The major change in this rule is that many items
sold by advertising agencies are no longer subject
to sales tax. Under the old rule, many items sold
by advertising agencies were considered to be
sales of tangible personal property and taxable.
When an advertising agency sold a brochure, for
example, they charged tax on the ful) selling price
of the brochure. The advertising agency was
allowed to purchase all of the inputs exempt from
sales tax since the selling price of the brochure
would be taxable.
Under the new rule, the sale of an advertising
brochure is no longer considered to be the sale of
tangible personal property, but rather is consid
ered to be part of the sale of a "nontaxable adver
tising service". Since the advertising agency is
selling a nontaxable service, the advertising
agency must pay tax on alJ the taxable inputs
used to create the brochure. In most cases, the
inputs cannot be purchased exempt as they were
in the past.
This rule became effective March 8, ·1993. A sales
tax fact sheet concerning advertising is available
upon request from our office.
Training on the new advertising rule will be
offered by the Department of Revenue in Septem
ber. A special mailing announcing the training
schedule wi]] be sent in August to advertising
agencies and other businesses affected by the
new rule.
Prizes for Games of Chance
The department has changed its position on the
taxability of prizes or awards. The purchase of
products to be used as prizes or awards in vari
ous games of chance are not purchases for resale
and, unless otherwise exempt, are now considered subject to the sales tax. The term "games of
chance" includes games played at carnivals, fairs
and similar events, lawful gambling under
chapter 349, and the state lottery under chapter
349A. The effective date for this change will be
set forth in a Revenue Notice to be published
soon in the State Register.

Be advised that the City has received an offer to purchase the City owned property located at 1419 42nd Avenue from David & Marlaine Szurek. The letter of inten t to purchase with an offer of $3,000.00, copy of $600.00 certified check, a portion of the Watson appraisal dated 8-18-1980 and maps of the area are attached.
In 1986 the approximate 23,000 square foot parcel of land lying west of the Szurek's home at 1402 42 1/2 Avenue was sold to them for $15,500. The parcel they now are interested in purchasing at 1419 42nd Avenue is approximately 17,550 square feet and is located directly behind their home.

COUNCIL ACTION:
August 4, 1993
TO: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY MANAGER
We would like to make an offer to the City to purchase the tax forfeited p1operty at
1419 -42nd Avenue, PIN 36-30-24-24-0147. We would like to offer $3,000 for the lot.
Our reasons for purchasing the lot are:
• It is an unbuildable lot and as such bas been used as a dumping ground for
many people including those who live in the 4-plex next to the lot.
• As protection for the investment we've made in our house and property.
• We would like to clean it up, removing scrub trees, trash and weeds, fencing it
and our property on the perimeter and planting fruit trees as well as providing a
play area for our grandchildren.
When our bid is accepted, we would also like to proceed with combining it with our
other lot so we can homestead it for a break on our taxes.
We hope you would want to get the lot back on the tax rolls and keep it from becoming
an eye sore in the neighborhood, and so will be willing to sell it to us.
We are enclosing a certified check for $600 as eMDest money.

I I QI A I : BY:M• Rebecca1mder/Evelyn� BY: + \ l DATE: A t S 1993 Nygaard : DATE: U\ h: ugus , :
After authorization at the June 28, 1993, City Council Meeting, staff has sought quotations to replace the rotten wooden window sills and door frames at the library (see attached drawing). Toe 1993 general buildings budget contains $8,000 designated for this project.
In the process of obtaining quotations, staff has learned that if and when the windows are renovated at their current size they must have safety glass installed. Two, which are recent replacements, are already safety glass and could be re-used. This added a significant cosl to the project. Two proposals have been received (see attached).

$10,583
Franzen Construction proposes replacing window jambs and stops on all indicated windows and replacing seven _with safety glass. All priming and painting of wood is included. Toe doors and transoms were not addressed.
$8,345 Lexington Glass and Screen proposes decreasing the size of the windows so that safety glass is not required. They propose leaving the windows on the east side of the building as is because the sills there were replaced in 1992. Their quote does not include painting.
Staff is recommending acceptance of the proposal from Lexington Glass and Screen for $8,345.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Moved to authorize replacement of window and door sills, accompanying glass, and appropriate panels as detailed in quotation from Lexington Glass and Screen for the amount of $8,345 based on low
informal quotation; and funhermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. )' (2,

The primary concern of policymakers may be the upeme of ra1e repladon. It is important to know, up from, that tbe expemes wociated with rate repladon mutt be paid out ot franchise tees. Tbe PCC mates clear that tbe purpo,e of fnncbt1e fw ii to defer the ;osu of reaulation, Ind it expects hnchiae IUthorities to expend their francbite feel iD any IUCh

You may receive si,nificam political pressure to replue such rates. If you chole not to aplate, it will be an interesting mi possibly complex explanation to Ill Irate IUblcriber wbo bows you can re,ulate races but have chosen not to. Of all die complaiml received from rate payers, mmerouscomplaints have been received reaudina tbe rates charged for remoies and additkmal omlets. Some cable companies are already ISlffliDa that even though tbe federal re,ulatiom contemplate only charii.Da its costs for remotes, the company can still cbarp feel ror die delivery of remote •aervice". Althou&h the Nies prohibit such charges, this hu bea ID ODIOUII debate with thecable company which no doubt will be the subject of rate hlt.rma• if y011 dae to certify...
The federal rel\J.lltory scheme establishes beDchmlrb for raiea wbich are auumed to be reuonable. If you certify, the comptny must justify for you that dielr ratea are at or below benchmarks or they must be rolled back 10� or to tbt-ba,cbmtrk, � II less. 1brou1h certification you have an opportuDlty to keep rates reuonable {u deftmd by die PCC), not only from tbe start, but in tbe tutu.re. Pmure rate iDcreues are capped at ID mfladoDary rate unless the company enters into a cost-of-lel'Yice hlt.rma, 1'be burden would be on tbe cable company to prove that they must iDcrase their rllel more than mfladon.

APPROVAL
At its meeting of August 19, 1993, the Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Communications Commission
reviewed the grant application submitted by Adam Davis and Alex Deyo to produce cable
programming for the public access channel. The amount requested is $505. Concern was expressed
by members of the commission whether the individuals had secured copyright clearance to use the
music. Meredith Cable does have music available which has copyright clearance in case the
individuals have not/ cannot secure copyright clearance.
The Commission took action to recommend to the City Council the approval of the $505 grant
application request of Alex Deyo and Adam Davis for production of cable programming, subject to
proof of copyright clearance. If proof of copyright clearance is not received, the amount of $210 will
be deducted from the amount requested on the application. Monies will come from the cable budget
and will be paid upon receipt of invoices showing expenses incurred.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the $505 grant application request of Alex Deyo and
Adam Davis for production of cable programming, subject to proof of copyright clearance. If proof
of copyright clearance is not received, the amount of $210 will be deducted from the amount
requested on the application. Monies to come from #225-49844-4300, and will be paid upon receipt

CABLE COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MEMBERS
VALORIE GIFFORD, SPECIAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR
AUGUST 9, 1993 DATE:
SUBJECT: GRANT APPLICATION RECEIVED BY A. DEYO AND A. DAVIS
The attached grant meets all the requirements set forth in the grant guidelines. The following is an
assessment of each pertinent point in the grant application guideline.
1.The application has met all the procedures and the deadline set forth in the guidelines.
2.It meets the program grants criteria which arc as follows:
a.It is a project and does not request capital funds.
b.The only expenses being requested are for equipment, tape, or admittance fees.
c.The group requesting the grant (Boomba Hey! Productions) is a non-profit operation
put together by two students at Columbia Heights High School.
d.These show� will be shown on Cable, on Channel 33, most likely.
e.This is a series, and not a single production.
f.The time line, included under the terminology "itinerary", lists all the different
programs the pair plan to produce over the school year.
3.The grant request falls within the maximum.
4.The applicants are residents of Columbia Heights.
5.There are no restrictions listed in the grant application that these individuals do not meet, and
permission has been received from their parents, as they are under 18 years old.
6.I believe that the general criteria for grant application has been met. The series docs meet a
community need. There is no current local programming for teens covering their particular
interests and eveDts. These young people have demonstrated competency in equipment
operation and one of them is currently serving an internship at the Columbia Heights Cable
Studio. There is nothing like this show produced locally, 10 there is no repetition of
programming. The proposal meets all grant application procedures and its 1ubstance meets the
criteria. •
7.The grant distribution timeline suggested in the application is a lump sum at the beginning of
the grant period. This is a reasonable request because the material required up front to get the
project going (video and audio cassettes, CD's and battery pack) is the bulk of the request.
They understand that should the production not go through, they arc liable to return the
money.
8.I recommend that we accept this grant application and support the production by Boomba Hey!
Productions of a series of television programs for teens in the City of Columbia Heights.

Re: Clarice �aco�s, et al v. city of Columbia Meights, et al
Dear Ms. Jensen:
In response to your letter dated August 17, 1993, I have the following. Subsequent to your letter, the City council met in a work session and discussed your request with the following interim proposal:
1.The City would begin ordinance changes which wouldprovide for the oollection of information regarding thetenants including the name of all the people living onthe premises, any heal th issues or special needs for fireor emergency personnel purposes, and any othernonintrusive data which is reasonably calculated to havea legitimate city purpose.
2.The City could not prosecute tenants . for being onunlicensed premises until such time· as this matter wereset baek on before the Federal District Court for hearingor there be in place an ordinance as outlined above, orSepte�ber 2i, 1993, whichever is first.
At this point I do not think the City will agree to pay damages or agree not to prosecute under the ordinance as outlined above. That is not to say that we_ should ri1ot continue to deal with those issues, but simply that I do not have any implied or anticipated authority regarding the same.

MAt�AGERCITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
Thank you for taking the time to talk with me to discuss the status of the pending court action
which you have taken in behalf of four tenants affected by the Columbia Heights housing
enforcement code. It was my feeling during our discussion that we both shared common
concerns and interests regarding improvements made within our community as well as the
community's responsibility to those in need. Your comments expressed your appreciation and
recognition of the problem which the City of Columbia Heights is having as It competes in the
metropolitan area for quality housing. I, and those in Columbia Heights city government,
recognize the responsibilities which we have to those of fewer means in our community and our
need to assist them.
It is unfortunate that the action taken was felt by Judicare to be necessary, and it is my hope that
.those concerns regarding the City's housing ordinance can be resolved satisfactorily; and still, that
the City can proceed with plans to improve a section of our community which has, for too long,
been neglected. Any help that you can offer to insure that resolution of this matter is fairly swift
and one which avoids too many legal entanglements or financial costs would be most
appreciated.
If I can offer any information to you in the weeks ahead, please contact me. Further, I will be
happy to provide to you and the City of Columbia Heights any resources which Anoka County has
available to assist in relocating those families who are suffering inconvenience in this time of
community transition.

\ �VER LAKE DETENTION POND-
� Works is reviewing the Silver Lake drainage plan and more specifically, the recommendations on the
detention pond in Columbia Heights. A revised cost estimate of undertaking the project in-house is being
prepared and will be reported for formal consideration to the City Council within the next sixty days. We
have given a stat�s report to John Dresch, President of the Silver Lake Association.
2)911 CALL RESPONSE--
The Police Department investigated recent citizen concerns regarding 911 calls to the Anoka County
Dispatc�losed please find follow up information on the concerns.
RICHFIELD REDISCOVER PROGRAM--
Doxy'Schneider and myself recently visited the City of Richfield to learn more about their single family
sing program. Many of the housing/community promotion strategies presented in the City's Sheffield
Stabilization Report are key components of Richfield's program. They have had great success with their
Home Remodeling Fair that included 3,500 people, visiting 80 exhibitor booths. They have undertaken
Fixed-Up Street where seven homes acquired by the city, served as demonstration sites for maintenance,
landscaping, and remodeling techniques. Richfield conducted real estate and developer tours that involve
continuing education on issues of home remodeling and additions and buyer attributes of the City. Finally,
they also offer a Residential Design Excellence Grant Competition that involves the reimbursement of
architectural fees for home remodeling and expansion projects.
One very interesting element of their program involves a scattered site single-family redevelopment project
whereby lower valued homes are acquired and resold for new development. Surprisingly, Richfield has
achieved a high success rate in selling the cleared lots for about $25,000 for new construction at values over
$115,000. For example, the average market value of houses prior to the acquisition was $49,700 while the
average market values of homes after new construction was $115,000. Therefore, their $25,000 investment
per home resulted in an increase in average market value of $65,300. The increase in market value, through
tax increment financing, amortized the city's investment in the property. The enclosed information from
Public Corp, Inc. further explains the financing for the scattered site single-family redevelopment project
in Rich�·
OIL DEPOSITORY--
closed please find correspondence regarding contamination of the public oil depository. As a remedy to
prevent anti-freeze and water from contaminating the used oil collection, City staff recommends locking
the depository during the week and making it available to the public only during the hours when the
Recycling Center is open (Saturday, 9 AM -1 PM). There are alternatives to this, such as the installation

of a baffle to keep water and anti-freeze separate from the oil or hiring a service to remove the
contaminants prior to oil collection. City staff suggests staiting with the limited hours and monitoring the
usage. We will report back to the City Council at a later date in the event a more costly alternative should
be considered c;>n the part of the City Council. 1
�RARY AND RECREATION BOARD BUDGET MEl!TING�-
September 14, 1993, atr;;;;:;::} is a. tentative date set up for the City Council and the Library Board to
review the budget. Sep�2, 1993, at 8:00 PM is a tentative date set up for the City Council and the
Recreation Board to meet and review the budget. Please advise me as to any con,flicts you have with those
dates.
6)BOARD/COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS--
This item has been placed on the agenda for City Council consideration. I suggest perhaps that prior to
Monday's meeting each of you may spend a moment attempting to identify a consensus on your
appointments. Again, I think it is fairly important to the morale of our boards and commissions and in the
interests of the individuals who exp .ressed a willingness to serve, that this matter be taken care of
expeditiously.
LIVING AT HOME PROGRAM/BLOCK NURSE PROGRAM--
Coun�ilmember Nawrocki recently introduced the potential for the Living At Home/Block Nurse Program
� developed in Columbia Heights. The program involves an organized network nursing care provided
in the home and the potential of organizing other non-medical home services for seniors.
'City staff has met with representatives of the program on a number of occasions, and is in the process of
preparing a full report for your consideration. It appears that Columbia Heights may not be eligible for the
program because of the high saturation of HMO service in the area. The program is directed at individuals
who have only medicare and are not eligible for traditional in-home nursing services. The program has
been very successful in lower income portions of Minneapolis and St. Paul and the prime candidates for
expansion of the program will likely be larger, outstate/rural communities. It should be noted that
representatives of the program commended Columbia Heights for the extensive a.mou.nt in-home services
that are already in place for the seniors. City Staff will be coming back to the City Council at a later date
with a �e formalized report, as well as the status of the block nursing program and further ii;nprovements
, to in.Kame services in the community.
ANOKA COUNTY VISIT WITH HUD
'epresentatives of Anoka County including Commissioner Margaret Langf eld, will be going to Washington
D.C. on September 9th to visit with HUD Deputy, George Latimer, on various Community o·evelopment
and Housing issues. Commissioner Kordiak invited Columbia Heights to send along any messages and
concerns. This may be a good opportunity to discuss our issues either through the Langfeld visit or perhaps
a separate meeting. Please give me your views.

Follow-up of Complaints Voiced at the City Council Meeting of July 27,
1993
August 11, 1993
The complaint that is the subject of this memo was received from Marian Fitzgerald, 4443
Madison Street and regarded a mix-up in communications regarding an abandoned
bicycle she had reported to the police. Sergeant Kapala advises he did receive a copy of
the 9-1-J tape of 8-5-93 at 1600 hours, which was the date of the call. According to this
tape, the caller inqnired whether ttiere had been a report filed for a sto1en bicycle in
Columbia 1Heights. Central dispatc.h advised they did not keep that information and
advised the person to call the Columbia Heights police. Sergeant Kapala goes on to
indicate that evidence indicates that Fitzgerald did not call in to report an abandoned bike
as she stated. She only inquired if there had been one reported stolen. Further, CSO
Sturdevant reported to the scene and took care of the problem for her.
If you need further information on this, please feel free to contact me.

Complaints Voiced at City Council Meeting
July 27, 1993
Attached is a memo from me and four hand-written pages from two of the patrol sergeants regarding the
complaints that..you gave to me-for follow-up. 1 was unable to make contact with either of th.ese individuals
after repeated att'empts. Theliefore, I assigned these to the B and C shift supervisors for follow-up purposes.
The first of the complaints regarding a Kate Rones was one that came into my office. It was not one of the
complaints you gave me. Regarding theooqiplaint of Ken Renken at 4440 Madison, Sergeant Kapala advises
that on 7-21-93 at about 4:41 P.M. he spoke with a Marian Fitzgerald, 4443 Madison Street, who states that
she said on 7-12-93 at abou� 4:00 she called 9-1-1 to repon an abandoned,. bicycle in the alley. She was
advised, by the 9-1-1 operator that she should call Cofumbia Heights Police Department, which she says she
did, only to be told to called 9-1-1. ,Mrs. Fitzgerald explained that she had done that; having said that,
Columbia Heights did send CSO Sturdevant out to the scene. Sergeant Kapala states that he called Central
Communications and spoke to Paula and requested a copy of the 9-1-1 tape for the time in question. Also,
Sergeant KapaJa directed CSO Sturdxevant to call Paula on this tape on July 22 as it wasn't ready yet. As of
this date, I have not seen or received a copy of the tape. I will notify you if I do.
Regarding the second incident with Barb Karol, Sergeant Kapala attempted to contact her and was unable to
do so. He referred this to Sergeant Schmidt who reports that he talked to William Karol on 7-22-93 at 5: 15
P.M. in regard to Sergeant Kapala's memo. He relates that Mr. Karol stated on 7-9-93 at about 2:00 he dialed
9-1-1 and reported a black male was urinating on his back yard. The black male was playing basketball just
to the east of their residence. Mr. Karol stated that he told the female dispatcher that the person was urinating
in his back yard and that the dispatcher asked if he wanted to see a doctor. Mr. Karol said no, he didn't want
to see a doctor; he wanted SOlllebody to come out. Mr. Karol stated that was the end of the discussion and
nobody came fr.om the Police Dep,alitment Sergeant, Schmidt indicates that he checked the incident report log
and the officers logs for 7-9-93 and found no calls to this address. Sergeant Schmidt further states that he
called Central Communications and talked (O Paula, the dispatcher, and she said she would check the tape and
get back to him in a couple of days. There is a note on the second page that at 7:30 Paula called Sergeant
Schmidt and stated she had listened to the. tape of phone calls on July 9, 10, and 11 either side of 2:00 P.M.
and heard no phone calls from a William Karol of 1400 46th Avenue. She stated that �'ithout any other
infonnation, there wasn't much more she could do.
I hope this infonnation answers the questions you have concerning these matters. If you need further
infonnation, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Ms. Fitzgerald:
July 30, 1993
This is a follow-up to your recent concern about service you have received from the
Columbia Heights Police Department. As you know, I had an officer visit you to discuss
the matter with you. He reports to me that you had found an abandoned bicycle in the
alley by your home, that you reported this to 9-1-1. who advised you to call the Columbia
Heights Police Department. You then called the Police Department, who ro1d you to call
9-1-1.
II wish to apologize•for the confusion. Ab times when our dispatchers and our records
rechnicians get backed up, the 9-1-1 dispatchers will refer to the nearest police agency
and our technicians will refer to 9-1-1. It's unfortunate this occurred. We do not wish
to create the image to the public that we are uncaring, as this is not the case. I have
discussed the matter with the 9-1-1 dispatchers and with our records technicians. We will
do our best to make sure this doesn't occur again.
If you have any finther questions or wish to discuss this matter with me further, please
feel free to call me.

Dear Mr. Karol:
July 30, 1993
This is a follow-up to your recent complaint to the City Manager regarding police
services to your address. In your complaint and from a follow-up conversation you had
with Sergeant Kapala, which he relayed to me, it appears you called 9-1-1 requesting an
officer respond to an incident where a black male was urinating in your yard. We had
the dispatchers check the 9-1-1 register and they were unable to find any recording of
your call.
I wish to apologize for any inconvenience or problems this has caused you. I assure you
that we are concerned, as is the Anoka County dispatch center, with providing the best
quality service we can. I further want to urge you to use the 9-1-1 police emergency
number for any of your future police needs. I hope this incident won't have a negative
and long lasting impact on you regarding the kind of service you receive from the
Columbia Heights Police Department. If you wish to discuss this matter further with me,
please feel free to call me and I would be happy to set up a time to meet with you.

Dear Mr. Knoph:
July 30, 1993
This is a follow-up to the concerns you voiced at the last City Council meeting regarding several
incidents in which the police were involved. The first incident deals with a fire in Keyes Park.
Apparently your concern was that there was no police report on this matter. Officer Val Dietz did
respond to the scene and observed a piece of cardboard on fire. There were several juveniles at the
scene aiding him in putting this fire out with water. These juveniles said they observed the suspects run
up the hill of Keyes Park and could not identify them. There was no formal police report made on this
matter, the reason being that the suspects were not in the area and could not be identified, and there was
no damage to any city property. This department does not make police reports on all incidents as we
are attempting to free up more officer time. It was the officer's discretionary decision that, due to the
lack of damage and severity of the incident that no report was necessary.
The second issue you brought before the Council concerned a loud party in the area of 1224 45½
A venue. This report was responded to by police officers and was dispatched by our 9-1-1 Anoka County
Dispatchers. Apparently, there were several juveniles outside this address making some kind of
disturbance. They were not residents of this address. The police responded and did make contact with
an individual. However, it was not the individual who originally called the police. The officers assumed
they had contacted the complainant. The juveniles were not in the area at the time the officers arrived.
I reviewed the officers' logs and �hey were assigned to the calls that were pending after they cleared this
call. They also made no police report because the disturbance was not visible or not occurring when
they arrived at the scene.
I hope this clarifies these matters for you. If you have need for further information, please feel free to
contact me personally.

FAX (612) 341-4148
As requested, I have attached examples of cash flows which we prepared for the
Richfield HRA's scattered site p_rogram.
Richfield acquired 18 parcels in their first phase of the program. The purchase price
demolition costs, and administrative costs of the program totaled an average of
$50,000 per home. They sold the lots to homebuilders at an average price of
$25,000. Therefore, the public investment totaled $25,000 per site. For your
information, the H�A was able to receive voluntary waivers of relocation costs from
the acquired properties.
The average market value of the houses prior to acquisition was $49,700 while the
average market value of the houses after new construction was $115,000.
Therefore, their $25,000 investment per home resulted in an increased in an average
market value of $65,300.
The Richfield numbers differ slightly from a typical model because the Initial funding
for the program was drawn from city enterprise funds and had to be repaid in total.
Richfield created a tax increment district on each lot on which they redeveloped to
help repay the initial funding source. Any extra tax increment will be used to help
fund the program in the future. Overall the program has been very successful and is
now entering its second phase.

LOCKING THE OIL DEPOSITORY
Twice in the recent past we have had to have the public oil depository behind the municipal service garage
drained due to contamination. In June it cost the City $1,200 to drain the tank and remove oil contaminated
with antifreeze. Although we were able to apply this cost to our expenses covered by reimbursement from
Anoka County /SCORE funds, this is not a guaranteed option in the future.
Contamination will continue to be a problem, we believe. There are some costly remedies that would allow
us to keep the depository open: installing·a baffle to keep water and antifreeze separate for pumping; hiring
a second service to remove the contaminants (water, antifreeze) prior to oil collection.
We recommend locking the depository during the week and making it available to the public only during
the hours the recycling center is open (Saturdays 9 am to 1 pm).
Please let us know if this is acceptable to you and the City Council.

COMMUNITY NURSING ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
The Community Nursing Organization (CNO) Is a federal HCFA (Health Care
Financing Administration) Medicare demonstration project. It was legislated in 1987
as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act to test capitation for home care. Under
capitation, the health care provider is r�imbursed a set amount monthly in spite of
service use. The American Nurses Association was very active in drafting the
legislation to establish a nurse managed model.
Language for implementation of the .legislation was not completed until 1992. Health
Care in this country has dramatically changed since the original legislation, and the
four national CNO sites have developed a model responsive to current health care
reform issues.
The CNO covers traditional home care and non-physician, non-institutional Part B
outpatient services. Home care services include registered nurse, physical therapy,
occupational therapy, social worker, speech therapy, home health aide, and medical
supp lies used by the home care staff. The Part B benefits include durable medical
equipment and prosthetics, physical therapy in an outpatient setting, clinical social
worker or psychologist and ambulance. All of these services must meet the
traditional criteria for coverage by Medicare.
Additionally, the CNO covers nursing case management. Each member has a
designa ted nurse available for twice yearly personal consultations. The nurse will ask
the member certain questions using formal survey materials, but also be available for
personal health care issues or questions that may have arisen. The nurses and
community staff will be responsible for setting up classes for m em bers on topics of
interest.
In Minnesota, the Living at Home/Block Nurse Program, Inc . (LAH/BNP, Inc.)
subm itted a proposal to HCFA for this project and was awarded a grant to establish a
CNO. The three other CNO sites include Carle Clinic Association in Urbana, Illinois,
the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, New York and Carondelet Health Services,
Inc. of Tuscon, Arizona. The period from October 1, 1992 to October 1, 1993 was
designated as a developmental year during which each national CNO site develops
the systems and protocols necessary to implement a CNO.
Since the Living at Home/Block Nurse Program, Inc. is not a Medicare certified home
health agency, they contracted with Health One/Abbott-Northwestern Home Care and
Hospice (HealthSpan) for those services. HealthSpan was very interested in the
philosophy of the CNO and agreed to partner with LAH/BNP, Inc. on the project.
The CNO will be modelled after the Living at Home/Block Nurse Program. The goal
of the program is to assist seniors to maintain independent, healthy lifestyles. CNO
staff will work from a ·community office, providing a local contact point for people to
access community services. A community coor dinator will become familiar with
neighborhood volunteer services and other programs of interest to seniors and be
available to coordinate them for members needing assistance. Additionally, the
community coordinator will establish a group of volunteers interested in assisting their
senior neighbors. Each community te�m (nursing staff and community coordinator}
will work together to respond to local needs or issues.

COM..i\iUNIIY l\'URSING ORGAi."41ZATION DEMONSTR.\TION SITE AWARDS
PROTECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) has made awards to four Community
Nursing Organization (CNO) demonstration sites. The CNO demonstration has been
developed in response to section 4079 of P.L. 100-203, the Omnibus Recon ciliation Act
of 1987. This section directs the Secretary to conduct demonstration projects testing
payment under the Medicare program for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries by
CNOs. The statute directs that the demonstration be conducted at four or more sites.
The congressional mandate specifies general eligibility criteria for organizations that may
provide services and receive payment under the dem onstration. For example, the CNOs'
operating policies must be estab lished by a governing board on which a majority of
members are nurses. HCFA is to provide payment co CNOs on a prepaid, capicated basis
for Medicare covered home health services, durable medical equipment and certain
ambulatory care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries �·ho enroll in a CNO. The legislation
defines a capitated payment method that is modeled after the a ... ·er;lge adjusted per capita
cost (AAPCC)used to pay health maintenance erganizations (HMOs), but also specifies
that an alternative capitated payment approach (to be developed in conjunction with an
outside advisory panel) is to be imp leme nted at one or mere of the sites. The legislation
specifies that CNOs will operate under at-risk or other cost limiting ,arrangements.
The four sites which received awards are: *
*
*
*
Carondolet Health Services, Inc. of Tuscon, Arizona: Carondelet is a
hospital-based organization. Carondolet has established a joint venrure 0
between its home health agency (HHA) and Intergroup of Arizona, an HMO.
Carle CLinic Association of Urbana, JUinois: Carle Clinic is a large medical group
practice whose HHA sub sidiary ·will operate this CNO site.
Visiting Nurse Service (YNS) of New York New _york: VNS of New York is
a multi-cocporate entity, whose subsidiary, VNS Hornecare, will operate this
CNO site. "
Living at Home/Block Nurse Program, Twin Cities. Minnesota: I.AH/BNP is
a communi ty-based, nonprofit nursing program.
PROTECT DESIGN
HCFA was assisted· in the design of this project by the People-to-People Health
Foundation (Project HOPE) under a research center cooperative agreement with HCFA.
The demonstration design effort involved establishment of organizational requirements
and standards for CNOs, defining the specific services that are to be included,
development of a detailed methodology for computing payment rates and preparation
of an implementation plan and evaluation strategy for the demonstration project. The
American Nurses' Association, as a subcontractor to Project HOPE, helped develop several
key components of the proposed design.
EUgibiLitv Criteria: The CNO is the organization or entity that enters into an agreement
with HCFA to sen·e as· a dt!monstration site for this initiati1,·e. Althou gh under the
legislation the CNO must be primarily engaged in the direct provision of medical, nursing
or community health care, it may contract v.ith other organizations or individual
providers to furnish pact of the mandatory and optional service pac kage. Consistent with
legislative intent, a broad range of organizations (including Medicare-certified hospitals,
nursing homes, home health agencies and rural health clinics; H.1\:IOs that contract with
Medicare; and ambulatory nursing programs) may qualify to serve as a CNO site if they
meet organizational, financial and servke delivery qualifications.established by HCFA.
The qualification includes the capability of assuming and successfully operating under full
financial risk for the duration of the demonstration.
Services Covered: Eligible organizations must also demonstrate a capa bility of providing
either directly or under arrangement, the full range of mandatory nursing and ambulatory
care services specified in the statute to Medicare enrollees. These services include home
health services, medical appliances and devices, durable medical equipment, ambulance
services, outpatient physical therapy services, sp.eech pathology services, medical supplies
other than drugs and biologicals, services furnished by clinical psycho logists and clinical
social workers and rural health clinic services. The definition of these demonstration
services correspond with the e.xiscing Medicare definitions of these services in statute and
regulation.
In add ition, CNOs may require additional payments or prem iums (in addition to the
HCFA capitation payments) from Medicare enrollees for optional community based
services such as case management, homemaker, perso!)al care and adult day health care
to Medicare enrollees if requested by the CNO and approved by HCFA.
CNOs will be required to assess enrollee's health and functional status at the time of
enrollment and maintain data required by HCFA for program mon itoring and evaluation
purposes.
2
r .-
• ':' ••.. -""!� ,·
Pavment Methods: In accordance "With the statutory requirements, two capitation
payment methods will be tes�ed under the demonstration:
*
*
Pavment Method 1 establishes a "CNQ.-AAPCC" that will adjust payment rates
based on the enrollee's age, sex and prior home health care costs and
diagnosis for any prior hospitalization.
Pavment Method 2 will adjus-t rates using the variables in the Payment
Method 1 plus adjusters related to the enrollee's functional limitations as
measured by Activities of Daily'i.iving.
These adjusters were determined to be necessary in order to make the payment rates
realistic for the demonstration. The payment methodology for these two capitated
payment methods, which is similar to that used to calculate the AAPCC for HMOs, has
been developed based on analysis of patient-level data from the 1984 National Long Term
Care Survey coupled with Medicare Part A and Part B claims data.
Under both payment methods, CNOs will receive monthly per capita payments from
HCFA during the operational phase of the demonstration equal to 95 percent of the
adjusted average Medicare pee capita expenditures for the CNO services. The CNO will
assume full financial risk for the costs of providing mandatory services. In addition, the
CNO may collect eru-ollee premiums for the beneficiaries' coinsurance and deductible
liabilities for the mandatory services and paymentS for any optional s'ervices approved by
HCFA and elected by the enrollee.
EVALUATION PL.\.NS
HCFA will award a separate contract for a two-tier independent evaluation of the CNO
demonstration. The first tier �:ill focus on operational feasibility of the CNO model,
relying primarily on process :;tnalyses and a case-study approach to data collection. The
evaluator will also develop an evaluation strategy for a possible "second-tier" to evaluate
patient-level impacts on such measures as mortality, hospitalization, physician visits,
nursing home admissions and Medicare expenditures. Th.e second tier evaluation will
only be carried out if the number of sites and CNO enrollees is sufficient to evaluate
pati ent-level impaccs.

HIGHLIGHTS
The Living at Home/Block Nurse Program (LAH/BNP) is built upon the capacity to care best
expressed In local communities where relationships and. interdependencies naturally form. The
LAH/BNP promotes changes in current health and long term care delivery and payment systems
through support to communities as they develop neighborhood-based formal health and Informal
support services that enable people aged 65 and older to remain in their homes. The LAH/BNP
sites are in communities with 13-21 % of the populattion aged 65+ (Minnesota average, 11.8%).
Minnesota averages 8% of people.aged 65+ living in nursing homes compared to 5% nationally.

STRATEGIES
Building community commitment and facilitating their potential to manage the programs
themselves.
Emphasizing prevention and client/family education. Providing early outreach so elderly can benefit from use of volunteers prior to using
medical and social services.
Utilizing neighborhood volunteers, Boy Scouts, churches, etc. to augment the care by
neighborhood professionals.
Providing professional nurse directed assessment and service coordination/delivery by
nurses living in the community.
Providing continuous monitoring of quality by the neighborhood, and by professionals.
Assisting communities to effectively work with their city commissioners, county
commissioners, state and federal legislators for change.
Building a broad coalition of support among senior and professi onal organizations to
support system reform.
Telling success stories through local, state, and national publications and meetings.
OUTCOMES
The LAH/BNP model has been successfully implemented in 7 sites, and 8 new sites are
starting to deliver services. Six of the sites are rural.
State legislation was passed in May, 1991 for replicating the model in up to 10 more sites
in Minnesota providing $425,000 in development funds to local communities, and $55,000
to LAH/BNP, Inc. In May, 1993, 2 more years of funding was authorized.
Thirty eight percent (38%) of the 248 clients served between July 1989-June 1990 would
be In nursing homes without the model. The cost per client averaged about $300 a month
compared to almost S2000 in a nursing home (external evaluation).
There are strong Indications (anecdotal) that Medicare (acute care) dollars are being saved
because of the LAH/BNP.
Data from about 750 clients has been computerized and is used f1::>r informational
purposes. Data ranges from client characteristics to dependencies to activities of daily
living to nursing diagnosis to mental status.
Since 1986, private foundations have provided over $1,000,0Q0 and U.S. ·Dept. HHS nearly
$700,000 in grant support to local communities; the LAH/BNP, Inc. has been granted
nearly $1,000,000 from private foundations and about $400,000 from U.S. Dept. HHS.

BASIC TENETS
Living At Home/Block Nurse Program Model
Community:
1.Specific boundaries are identified.
2.An existing body (such as a district council, township board) represents
community interests. It recognizes that the Living At Home/Block Nurse Program
belongs to community residents and takes leadership in developing the program-
Including help with the raising of local funds and finding of in-kind support.
3.Two or more community leaders are strongly committed to the successful
implementation of the LAH/BNP.
4.The community, the hiring organization that uses a public health nursing model of
serv ice delivery and LAH/BNP, Inc. agree upon the nature of their collaboration.
Organization:
1.Leadership, planning and implementation are generated by people living in the
community, progressing from a "steering committee" to a working board of
directors composed of community residents and leaders. If the board
incorporates, it is non-profit.2.Every effort is made to contain costs in the administration of the program by
combining functions of nursing management, volunteer coordination, outreach,
services coordination and other administrative functions into integrated job
positions. No duplicate layer of management is created.3.The board is accountable for impleme nting the requirements of funding sources,
e.g., Medicare, granters, etc.
4.Community volunteer efforts of neighbors helping neighbors are demonstrated
through task forces, committees, service provision and with in-kind and financial
support.
5.The board assures the community and funders that all resources are efficiently
and effectively managed.
Service Delivery:
1.Residents aged 65 and over who live within the community boundaries are
eligible, based upon .need, regardless of ability to pay for nursing, home health
aide, volunteer, and other services necessary to enable them to remain safe and
independent in their own neighborhood. No minimum charges are instituted.
2.Staff (unless there are strong extenuating circumstances) and volunteers live in the
community.
3.Community professionals and volunteers function as partners as they provide care
and support for their elderly neighbors.4.Existing service agencies and resources are used, provided they complement the
philosophy of the LAH/BNP.
5.There is a commitment to a trained volunteer component in service delivery.
6.Outreach to community residents is on-going including a clear process for
accessing services.
7.The board assesses and identifies needs for additional services and arranges for
their delivery and/or coordination.

'"Fhe Living At Home Block Nurse Program
The Living at Home/Block Nurse Program is a
community program that draws upon the professional
and volunteer seivices of local residents to provide
information, social and support services, nursing and
other services to their elderly neighbors to enable them
to remain in their homes.
The ke_y to the success of the Living at Home/Block
Nurse Program is two-fold:
1.The extent of neighbomood response and com
mitment, support and sharing of energy, in-kind con
tributions, donations to their neighbors who are elderjy.
2.The identification of specific client needs and the
coordination and del ivery of seivices in the client's
home by neighborhood professionals and volunteers
who use the informal resources of near-by family,
neighbor, church, and service groups, and integrate
them with the formal services.
The purpose of a Living at Home/Block. i\!ur.;,·
Program is to:
1. Establish a neighborhood-based system of sc•r.·w,·
coordination and delivery which uses neighborhood
professional and volunteer personnel to provide, din·n
ly or in coordination with appropriate agencies and
resources, those health and other services needed hv
residents 65 and above.
2. Demonstrate a model of long-term care and health
promotion which enhances the quality of life for neigh
borhood residents and enables them to remain in thl'ir
own homes and to avoid unnecessary or premature
institutionalization.
3.Demonstrate a more cost-effective method of
long-term care delivery.
4.Promote the concept of neighborhood-bas<'d
long-term care and assist in the replication of the Living
at Home/Block Nurse Program in other neighborhoock
