Mawhorte�BY: � NO. Police Hiring Supplemental Program DATE: October 7, 1993 DATE: 6.C,. As part of the evaluation criteria regarding the federal grant under the Bureau of Justice Assistance for the police hiring supplemental program, it is necessary that the City Council endorse the City's continuation in retention plan in order for the Police Department to be competitive in this grant procedure. It is necessary that we have a resolution from the City Council supporting the submission and authorizing budget commitment to the federal police hiring supplement program for two additional police officers. The addition of three officers instead of two officers was discussed at the last work session. Upon concern with the funding available and competitiveness, the request has been scaled back to two officers. The same prog_ram aimed at developing greater program-solving skills and applications for the Police Department will work with the addition of just two officers. The cost impact of over the life of the grant will obligate the City to pay $146,798.00 for two officers. The first year after the grant ends, the cost will be $120,576.00 for the two officers. We are also writing a companion grant through the State Office of Drug Policy to fund a person responsible for researching and developing alternative methods responding to excess call-for-service loads. This person will also aid in organizing the neighborhood and work with the patrol sergeants in problem solving and improving crime prevention and police volunteer programs. There is no cash match required for this grant. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to waive the reading of the ordinance, there being ample copies made available to the public." RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to adopt Resolution 93-being a resolution supporting submission and authorizing budget commitment to the federal police hiring supplemental grant program for two additional[ police officers."

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 1993 PAGE 2 C.Site Plan Approval Case #9310-32 Steve Jonak RE: 533 N.E. 37th Avenue Don Schneider presented the request of Steve Jonak for site plan review of proposed new construction at 533 N.E. 37th Avenue. Mr. Schneider informed the Commission of a number of deficiencies in the site plan. Mr. Jonak was present and reviewed an updated site plan with the Commission addressing some of the items not in compliance during site plan review. Mr. Jonak stated that there would be adequate room to provide the required 44 parking spaces on the site. However, he has requested in writing a lease from the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority for the vacant lot at the southeast corner of 37th Avenue and Fifth Street to serve his parking needs. If that lease would ever expire or be discontinued, Mr. Jonak stated he would then install the required amount of on site par king. He informed the Commission that all parking spaces would be striped. He also stated that, when the new building completed, his plans are to totally regrade and landscape the property. He indicated that proper lighting of the property would be done in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Schneider informed the Commission that the Traffic Commission reviewed Mr. Jonaks site plan at their meeting of October4, 1993. The Traffic Commission approved the proposed site plan with regard to traffic flow based on the fact that the applicant is not proposing to open a new curb cut on 38th A venue. Mr. Schneider also presented a memo from Mark Winson, Public Works Director, indicating Staff would work with Mr. Jonak to provide detention in accordance with City requirements. It was also suggested Mr. Jonak obtain an easement for drainage proposed across affected properties to the west and coordinate with the grading of the proposed developments parking lot at 455 N.E. 37th Avenue in order to facilitate the drainage. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to approve the site plan provided: 1.A parking lease agreement is submitted in writing; 2.The drainage of the site be resolved with the Public Works Director; 3.The area on the north and east side of the proposed building be graded, sodded and kept from future development and designated for future parking area; 4.The lot be graded, sodded, blacktopped and landscaped with proper screening installed by July 15, 1993.

Evelyn Nygaard explained that Mrs. Gallus had requested, by telephone, that her request be tabled. Ms. Nygaard also stated that Staff would need additional time to review the information presented prior to the meeting.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES. OCTOBER 5, 19 93 PAGE3 APPEALS: A.Public Hearing Appeal of Adm. Denial Case #9310-34 Ponderosa Restaurant 4811 Central A venue Columbia Heights, Mn. Mr. Schneider presented the request of the Ponderosa Restaurant for an appeal of a denial by the Building/Zoning Administrator to allow wall signage in excess of the size and type allowed for the site. He explained that the restaurant has proposed an approximately 434 square foot mural with letters on the front of the building in addition to the freestanding sign. He informed the Commission that Section 9.H 7A( 4) of the Sign Ordinance prohibits a sign or graphics painted directly on the exterior of a building or structure. He also stated that the maximum amount of signage allowed for the site would be 104 square feet. The Commissions attention was directed to letters from 1987 and 1988 indicating that Ponderosa's signage has been in violation of the Sign Ordinance for some time and a letter from Ponderosa stating they would bring the restaurant's signage into conformance when future remodeling was completed. Council Representative Peterson felt this astronomical request was clearly not an attempt, on Ponderosa's part, to work within the "spirit of cooperation". He stated that no hardship was evident to allow the Commission to consider a variance. If a variance was applied for, it would be denied by the Planning and Zoning Commission and then Ponderosa could appeal the denial to the City Council. Matt Sandell, manager of the restaurant, indicated that the mural was part of a "re-image" package, along with the interior remodel, for restaurants nationwide. The larger sign would give more visibility, thereby drawing more patrons to the restaurant. He stated that revenues increased by 40% for the restaurants with the "re-image" signage package. He informed the Commission that, unless this restaurant increased its revenues by $17,000-$18 ,000 a week, it could possibly be closed. Commissioner Larson felt the proposed mural was clearly considered signage even without lettering on it since it was enclosed in a structure and framework. Don Schneider suggested the restaurant make use of the new Temporary Signage Ordinance which allows four, eleven day periods per year plus the full month of December to display a banner or portable sign to announce the remodel and "re-image" Motion by Fowler, seconded by Larson, to deny the appeal of the Ponderosa Restaurant at 48 11 Central A venue. Roll Call: All Ayes. B.Public Hearing Appeal Case #9310-33 C.H. Properties 4655 N.E. 5th Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Mr. Schneider presented the request of Jake Cadwallader, owner of 4655 N.E. 5th Street, for an appeal of the orders issued by the Fire Department for compliance corrections in the multi- PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 1993 PAGE4 unit building. He informed the Commission that Evelyn Nygaard had also inspected the property and found the structure to be non-conforming both by Zoning and Building standards. The plumbing, beating and electrical systems were found to be substandard and also non­ conforming. Environmental hazards of lead-based paint also exist on the property. Lowell DeMars, of the Fire Department, explained that this property had always been inspected, on a yearly basis, for compliance with the Fire Codes only until the Housing Maintenance Ordinance was passed in 198_9. After 1989, the building was inspected for housing code violations under the Housing Maintenance Ordinance. The orders Mr. Cadwallader was addressing were from the first inspection. Mr. Paul Weingarden, representing Mr. Cadwallader, expressed concern regarding the compliance orders initially issued by the Fire Department as he felt some of the orders were for items not addressed in the Housing Maintenance Ordinance. He questioned the source of such violations. He also felt the list of buiJding and zoning violations issues by Evelyn Nygaard were for items that have been in occurrence many years. He could not understand how the City could require a full upgrade of a building, including frost footings. Mr. Cadwallader stated that the property had been in existince since the 1950's. Prior to his purchase of the property in 1984, he stated he bad contacted the City. He was informed the property was non-conforming and that it could stay in operation as a tri-plex. Mr. Cadwallader addressed some of the items 011 the list of corrections he felt were outrageous such as frost footings, replacement of the furnace and new plumbing. Commissioner Peterson asked the Building Inspector to clarify the items. Evelyn Nygaard referred to her letter dated June 7, 1993 in which she outlined and described the problems she observed during an inspection of 4655 N.E. 5th Street. She stated that, as a building ages, it needs to be maintained and upgraded, not to continue as is and allow to deteriorate. She also stated that, just because something was done wrong at one time, such as the building not having frost footings, she, as a building inspector, is obligated to have the problem corrected. She indicated that she researched the building code back to 1952, as she felt the property was possibly converted in the S0's, to see if frost footings were required and found that they were required. She indicated that no building permits were obtained for the conversion nor have any permits ever been obtained for alterations, repairs or upgrades of the plumbing, heating or electrical systems in the building. Mr. Weingarden stated that Mr. Cadwallader would be willing to repair the minor items on the list. However, he did not feel the major items could be required as they were not explained or called out in the Housing Maintenance Ordinance. 1f not called out in the Housing Maintenance Ordinance and the item was in working order, it would not be replaced. Commissioner Larson stated that the Housing Maintenance Ordinance also encompassed the Uniform Building Code, the State Building Code, the NFPA, the Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, the Electrical Code and the Housing Code. He asked Mr. Cadwallader and Mr. Weingarden if they made any attempt to meet with the Fire and Building Departments to review the items addressed. He stated that, if the work was originally done incorrectly and it was inspected over the years, it does not mean that, because it wasn't called to someone's attention, it isn't wrong. When an inspector finds something not in compliance with any code, maybe years after the fact, and that item is cited, you are required to correct it. The City �as given a time frame in which to complete the items identified. Staff can tell you where to ftnd items in the code books pertaining to the violations. It is then up to you to look at what the PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 1993 PAGES code says related to the specific issues. He suggested they meet with the Inspectors and come up with an agreement on both sides regarding compliance. Council Representative Peterson asked Mr. Cadwallader and Mr. Weingarden to be realistic in the fact that buying a non-conforming building and operating it for twelve to fourteen years deterioration will occur such as a furnace rusting out. Just because it is "grandfathered-in" doesn't mean things that are wrong should not be corrected or repaired. He stated that the idea of the Housing Maintenance Ordinanc e was to upgrade the City's housing stock so it is at least liveable. He indicated the City is trying to turn the community around by bringing property to a better level of quality. Laurie Rogers of 4656 N.E. 5th Street felt Mr. Cadwalladers building was an eyesore in the area and very unappealing as the grass would not be cut, there never seemed to be enough parking and an old car has been parked on the property for quite some time. She indicated that Mr. Cadwallader has some problem tenants that cause continued disruption and noise and warrant Police calls. She felt Mr. Cadwallader should take more responsibility for his tenants as well as his property. As a property owner, she felt he should invest in his property just as the rest of the homeowners in the area. Brenda Austin of 4655 N.E. 5th Street, one of Mr. Cadwallader's tenants, was in attendance to find out if the building would be shut down and they would need to move. Mr. DeMars stated that the building was not at that point yet. Commissioner Peterson felt that, if an attempt is made to correct the items, it probably would be allowed to operate. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to table the appeal to allow Mr. Cadwallader to meet with Staff to define and clarify the items in violation and determine what will be done to resolve the problems. Roll Call: All Ayes. STAFF REPORTS: A.Ordinance #1269 was tabled at the last meeting to allow for more discussion. More questions arose regarding allowed height of a detached garage, given the increasing need for larger openings to accomodate trucks and vans. Also, the new housing designs show higher and greater sloped roofs. However, to increase the height limitation could then allow an additional room above a garage that could be inadvertantly used as living space or a home occupation which would not conform to current ordinances and create further problems. Commissioner Larson suggested Staff obtain the requirements from other cities pertaining to accessory structures. He felt the City should consider the future in updating ordinances to allow for future new designs. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to table Ordinance #1269 for further discussion. Roll Call: All Ayes. B.Ordinance #1278, amending the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to lotsplits, was discussed by the Commission members. It was pointed out that this amendment would eliminate the automatic variance of ten (10) feet on the lot width. Lots now would have to conform to the width required in that zoning district. However, it was added that a variance PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES OCTOBER 5, 1993 PAGE6 request could be submitted requiring the Planning and Zoning and City Council to review the request. Mr. Schneider indicated that a first reading of the Ordinance had been held at the City Council meeting of September 27, 1993. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of Ordinance #1278 and recommend a second reading of same. Roll Call: All Ayes. C.Ordinance #1279 amending the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Jot widths was reviewed by the Commission. After much discussion regarding the proper wording to describe how to figure the lot width, the Commission recommended that Staff provide proper definition as described by the drawings done at the meeting. The idea was tested on a variety of different shaped lots to assure the workability of their theory indicating lot width to be measured by the minimum horizontal distance between the side lot lines as measured at the median point of the front yard setback line. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval to the City Council of Ordinance #1279 provided the wording for determining lot width be amended to read "the minimum horizontal distance between the side lot lines as measured at the median point of the front yard setback line". Roll Call: All Ayes. D.Due to the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting being scheduled on November 2, Election Day, it is necessary to either change the meeting date or start time. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to hold the next Planning and Zoning meeting on November 2, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. Roll Call: All Ayes. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to adjourn the meeting at 10:15 p.m. Roll Call: All Ayes.

The hardship cited is the close location of the existing building to the side and front lot lines which prevents the sign from being seen. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend approval of the setback variance and the height variance.

The fees paid for variances, conditional use perm.its, lotsplits, etc. are collected, in part, to defray a portion of the costs for the preparation, copying, and mailing of the public hearing notices that must be mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the subject property. In this case, a total of 66 public hearing notices were mailed. Section 9.105(7) of the Zoning Ordinance states "Fees paid for variances, conditional use permits or an amendment to the Zoning Ordinan_ce shall be payable at the time applications are filed with the Zoning Administrator and are�not refundable unless the application is withdr.a¥11L prior to referral to the Planning Commission.

Roll Call: All ayes. ill. OLD BUSINESS A."NO PARKING" SITUATION WEST SIDE OF MONROE STREET FROM 46 1/2 TO 47TH A VENUE. It has been discovered that the "No Parking" sign that was located on Monroe Street at 47th Avenue was actually there in error. Apparently a "No Parking" sign � from the Hilltop side of the street had been knocked over and mistakenly reset on the Columbia Heights side. The sign has been removed B.PUBLIC HEARING "NO PARKING" ZONE ON TIIE SOUTH END OF CIRCLE TERRACE BOULEVARD. A petition has been received from several residents on Circle Terrace Blvd. requesting that a "No Parking" zone be established near the south end of Circle Terrace Blvd. to improve visibility. Staffs recommendation for the September meeting was to restrict parking along the east side of the street from 40th Avenue through 1202 Circle Te1Tace Blvd. due to the narrowness of the street, the street curve and the number of children in the area. Since that time further study has been done and staff proposes that parking be res 1tricted on the east side from the driveway for 1200-1202 to a point 40' southeast of the northeast property corner of 1200-1202 and be restricted on the west side from a point opposite the driveway of 1200-1202 to the southwest corner of the property at 1207 Circle Te1Tace Blvd. Several residents were in attendance at the meeting and were in agreement with the proposed "No Parking" area. Chairman Carlson suggested an additional 40' should be added in front of the 1200-1202 Circle TCITace Blvd. OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TRAFFIC COMMISSION OCTOBER 4, 1993 PAGE2 Motion by Goodman, seconded by Clerkin, to recommend to the City Council that parking be restricted as presenteci by staff at this meeting. Roll Call: Duda aye, Goodman aye, Carlson nay, Clerkin aye, Sturdevant aye. Motion carried. C.PARKING AT 40TII A VENUE AND Mil..L STREET Staff has received information on solar powered emergency vehicle warning signals for possible installation on 40th A venue in response to the request by the Fire Department to move the bus stop further west to increase visibility for emergency equipment entering 40th Ave. from Mill St. and for motorists traveling east on 40th Ave. The estimated cost for such signals would run between $16,000 to $20,000. Staff will investigate State Aid funding and suggest that the Fire Department solicit funds from civic groups. D.POST OFFICE TRUCK TRAFFIC PATIERN The Public Works Director met with the local Post Office Manager regarding their use of Tyler Street and 43rd Avenue to access their loading docks. They are Qot planning on opening the barricaded opening due to their concern over rtraffic safety and the use of their employee parking lot as a shon-cut by private vehicles. The Postal Service Law Department has sent a letter citing it's authority to use local streets to carry out its operations. It appears that Federal Law supersedes local law in such matters. Motion by Carlson, seconded by Goodman to recommend to the City Council that no action be taken on the use of Tyler Street and 43 1/2 Avenue by Postal Service vehicles due to the fact that the current traffic pattern is safer than if they were to use the 44th A venue entrance and to direct staff to work with the Postal Service on financial contributions to future reconstruction projects on these streets when reconstruction is needed.

Alley signs at Polk and Tyler, 37th to 39th and 2 1/2 St. to 3 rd St, 37th to 38th or 39th were also requested. In checking on the City's sign map, these signs are already in place. Motion by Goodman, seconded by Sturdevant, to install speed limit signs of 10 MPH in the alley between 46th A venue and Parkview Lane. B.451H A VENUE -2ND STREET TO 3RD STREET The City of Fridley has requested that Columbia Heights consider supporting their effort to make the 2nd St, 2 1/l St, and 3rd Street intersections with 45th Avenue 4-way stops. Currently 2nd and 3rd Streets have "Yield" signs at 45th Avenue and 2 1/2 Street has a stop sign. At 45th Avenue, the traffic is unrestricted. Staff has determined that these intersections do not meet warrants for control by stop signs but as Fridley had installed "Yield" signs on their side of 45th Avenue, staff felt "Yield'' signs should be installed tCI be consistent. As Fridley is going to install stop signs, it is important to be consistent with the intersection control. Commission members directed staff to contact Fridley to request a compromise of proposing two-way stops on 45th Avenue. Motion by Goodman, seconded by Duda, to call a Public Hearing to consider the installation of 4-way stop control at the 2nd St, 2 1/2 St. and 3rd St. intersections with 45th Avenue at 7:00 P.M. on Monday, November 1, 1993.

Winson P\ A,,-) DATE: 10/5/93 BY:�DATE: Staff has met with the local Posl Office Manager regarding their use of Tyler Street and 43rd Avenue to access their loading docks. They have no plans to open the barricaded area due to their concern over traffic safety and the use of their employee parking lot as a short-cut by private vehicles. The Poslal Service Law Department has set a letter citing it's au thority to use local streets to carry out its operation. It appears that Fe<teral Law supersecles local law in such matters. Staff recommends that no action be taken on the use of Tyler Street and 43 1/2 Avenue by Postal Service vehicles due to the fact that the current traffic pattern is safer than if they were to use the 44th Avenue entrance and to direct staff to work with the Postal Service on financial contributions to future reconstruction projects on these streets when 1·econstruction is needed. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to recommend that no action be taken on the use of Tyler Street and 43 1/2 Avenue by Postal Service vehicles due to the fact that the current traffic pattern is safer than if they were to use the 44th A venue entrance and to direct staff to work with the Postal Service on financial contributions to future reconstruction projects on these streets when reconstruction is needed, based on a recommendation of the Traffic Commission.�ti---h _ V: )�� �.,:if c& >JV- MAW:jb \ ; I � 93-642 COUNCIL ACTION: � SEP IJ3 '93 HJ: IJ6HM USPS LRW DEPARTMDH P '.=' ·- I[[:C- � U:,1TEO SrJ.1n ?csTAl SE�v,::£ 476 L'ENFMT � ... SW WJ.S.-i!NeTQN CC 20260 September J, 1993 Mark A. Winson, P.E. Public Works Director-· City of ColumDia Heights 637 38th. Avenue N.E. Columbia Heights MN 55421-3806 Dear Mr. Winson: This follows up on our telephone conversation of yesterday morning regarding application of city Regulation 7.201(2) to vehicles carrying U.S. Mail via Tyler Place N.E. and 43�th. Avenue N.E. to the U.S. Post Office on 44th. Avenue N.E. To recap the situation as I understand it, the City Regulation in question provides as follows: The council may regulate the use of streets by vehicles in excess of 15,000 pounds gross vehicle weight as follows: (a)The council may designate truck routes and require suchvehicles to use said routes at all times, except asotherwise provided hereinafter. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting any vehicle in excess of 15,000 pounds gross vehicle weight from using any City street where absolutely necessary to reach a particular destination within the City. The U.S. Postal Service has been serving the Post Office with tractor-trailer vehicles, which exceed 15,000 pounds GVW, via the streets identified above, altho�gh the the Council has not designated those streets as truck routes. The Postal Service regards th e streets in question as "post roads" within the meaning of title 39, u.s. Code section 5003, which provides in pertinent part as f.ollows: The following are post roads: . . . {4) public roads, highways, and toll roads during the time the mail is carried thereon .•.. .-·-· SEP 03 '93 10: 071=1M USP·3 LAW DEPARTMENT -2 - P.3 It is well established that postal vehicles, while operating on post roads, are suDject to state and local laws ot general applicability relating to the sate operation ot vehicles. Postal vehicles are, tor example, clearly •ubject to local speed laws. However, the ease law makes it clear that •tate and local laws other than those relating to th• sate operation of vehicles are preempted by federal law the extant that the federal and state or local schemes are in conflict. The Postal Service would·ragard application of Section 7.201(2) to Postal service vehicles engaged in transportation ot mail as preempted cy the federal acheme tor transporting the Mail• in title 39, 'U.S. Code sections 5003 and 404(a). The latter section provides among the specitic powers ot the Postal service the power "to provide tor the collection, handling, transportation, delivery, forwarding, returning, and holding ot mai1 •••• 11 Indeed, were the Postal Service subject to the local laws of every comtnunity estaDlishing restrictive motor·vehicla characteristics, it i• difficult to ••e how we could effectively accomplish our statutory miasion w,aer title 39 u.s. code eection 101(a) to "provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services to patrons in all areas and ••• render postal •ervices to all communities." The Postal service places great value in being a good neighbor and citizen. If there are any speei!ic problems regarding vehicle safety, property damage or other matters between tha city and the Postal Service, I hope you will bring them to the attention of our ColUlftbia Heights Station Manager Tcm Peterson sothat they can be addressed in a cooperative manner.

According to Resolution 88-41 (enclosed), the MWAABI organization does not meet the requirements as set forth in Item 3., "The organization wishing to gamble has been in existence in Columbia Heights for not less than ten years." With this in mind, staff did not collect the City's $250 license fee. Based on Resolution 88-41, I am recommending the City forward a letter to the State Gambling Board indicating denial of th.eir application. As a point of information, the City does allow gambling exemptions for organizations in existence in Columbia Heights less than one year, but this exemption would be limited to one single event.

MINNESOTA CHAPTER The OORI.D ASSOCIATION OF THE ALCl)HOL BE.VERA.GE INDUSTRIES, also known as WAABI, is a non-profit volunteer service organization which has been in existence since 1944. The primary objective of WAABI is to prooote good will for a good industrythrough ccxmrunity service and thousands of hours of volunteer work. The Minnesota Chapter of WAABI operates a Charitable Gambling operation in Fridley at the Shorewood Inn. In just over two years time, Minnesota WAABIhas been very successful and has returned many thousands of dollars to the corrmunity and the surrounding area. Contributions from the sale of Pull Tabs is very diverse and not donated to justone or two organizations. Following is a list of sane of the recipients of the contributions made by Minnesota WAABI: Fridley Recreational Sports, Fridley YouthSports, Fridley 49er Day City Activities, Fridley Boy Scouts, Fridley High School Sports Program, Fridley High School Excel Program, Fridley High School ScholarshipProgram (3 $1,500.00 Scholarships), East River Hockey Association, the, Senior Citizen Campaign of Cheer for Cancer patiants. In Columbia Heights we sponsored Mady's Junior Bowling Program and have donated over $12,000 to the Southern Anoka Corrmunity Assistance Program (SACA). We have also pledged to purchase 1,000turkeys for SACA for the 1993 Christmas Season. WAABI now has a Lease Agreeirent with Dan Stiles at the Box Seat on 40th and Central in Columbia Heights and are, therefore, applying to the City of Columbia Heights and City Council for a Premise Permit to operate a Charitable Gambling Site at that location. Profits realized from a Pull Tab Operation in Columbia Heights will be returned to the ccxmrunity in much the same manner as has been done in Fridley. WAABI has conducted its Shorewood Pull Tab Site in a very professional manner.All bills, payroll and taxes are paid in a timely manner and all Rules and Regulations set forth by the State Gambling Control Board and State Revenue Department are followed to the letter. All banking has been done at the North­east State Bank in Columbia Heights for over two years and, upon request, the banking records can be investigated. Other references are available on request. Based on the above information, it would be appreciated if you would give ourrequest for a Premise Permit to operate a Charitable Gambling Site at the BoxSeat your consideration and approval. ��� Reba Whiteoak Minnesota WAABI Gambling Manager3547 Fillnnre Street N.

BY: David P . Mawho� BY: \ �"' DATE:� "T NO. Intervention in Sheffield Area DATE: October 7, 1993 In response to the Sheffield Resolution, the Police Departme_nt proposed the use of special two-officer patrol shifts in the neighborhood. The resolution identified the use of part-time officers from other jurisdictions. However, this was deemed problematic as it was strongly opposed by local officers, a review of Anoka County police departments revealed an unavailability, and the needed time to train the part-time officers. At the August 9, 1993, meeting, the Council received a report on the two-officer patrol alternatives. The Mayor and City Manager indicated that a status report would be presented at a l ater date on the results of the patrol and overtime incurred. This program began August 15 and continued through September 25, 1993. The officers' activity level was summarized in the report submitted "to the Council at the workshop on October 4, 1993. Expenditures for this time period totaled $13,768, which covered 44 shifts. The officers involved met and discussed their interaction in the neighborhood and concluded that they provided secondary enforcement and affected citizen perception. They unanimously identified drug traffic as the number one problem in the area. Several courses of action were suggested, with the overwhelming decision that drug a<::tivity must have priority enforcemenL To accomplish this, a large number of our officers along with a team of Anoka County C.I.D. drug enforcement officers are needed for saturation operations. Several of these saturations could impact drug traffic and bring this issue under control. The group also recommended continuance of the two-officer patrol car, but less frequently--perhaps once a week--which would still provide the citizens with the secondary enforcement and fulfill their perceptual security needs. The drug enforcement operations and once-a-week patrol could be accomplished with an additional $6,037. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to amend Department Fund 101-42100 by an increase of $13,768 for special patrol activity and an additional $6,037 for future drug enforcement activity totaling $19,805, with the source of funding being Unallocated General Fund � - Balance." \ ) &1 ,{ 1.. . .. //_}( � ;Y'j c/o ViY � ff� ,er� Ir" )JI"( '.'JY (!/1 JY'L,v v� Jy,. -�•JJ DPM:mld 93-381 r COUNCIL ACTION: Mayor Donald J.

MAWHORTER, POLICE CHIEF UPDATE ON SHEFFIELD SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT OPER­ ATION OCTOBER 1, 1993 At the request of the City Manager, I am forwarding this report regarding Police Department activities relating to the above subject matter. Overall, the operation was successful. Neighborhood confidence and security was elevated, many enforcement and non-enforcement contacts were made. We were, however, unable to have much of an impact on the persistent drug trafficking problem, though there was some reduction of the numbers of people in the trafficking area. Captain Olson held an evaluation meeting with officers involved in this operation. Interest still remains high with the officers and they have many good ideas on where to go from here. They recommend and I concur that the two-man patrols continue on a less frequent basis (once a week or so). They also want to work with Anoka CID, and other applicable agencies to develop a plan to specifically target the drug dealing. They feel that a combined surveillance and sweep and arrest operation is the only way to impact this area. l agree that several of these operations could bring the drug dealing to a virtual stop. Thus far, we have expended $11,402.60 in overtime wages for this operation. I would strongly recommend that Council authorize the department to continue with the development and execution of specific operations directed at the drug trafficking in this area. I would also like to commend the hard work and imaginative thought that our officers have put into this operation so far. They are excited abut this and their opportunity to use their creative energies to solve a community program. I think if we stopped them now, it would be bad on department morale and the general safety of the Sheffield Neighborhood. Please see Captain Olson's report attached for more information. DM:bjs "SERVICE IS OUR BUSINESS" EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: David Mawhorter. Chief of Police FROM: Le�� M. Olson. Captain SUBJECT: Sheffield Patrol Summation DATE: September 30, 1993 Overview: The short term two man volunteer Sheffield patrol detail has expired. With the expiration, I called an evaluation meeting inviting all of the participating officers. Goals and accomplishments of the project were discussed. The repetitive feedback was that only secondary issues in this problem area have been addressed. Everyone admitted that the patrol deployment strategy was an effective perceptual tool but only for secondary enforcement issues. The primary issue remains and is identified as the drug activities that remain and appear to be flourishing even in police presence. Officers have attempted to penetrate this Pierce-Fillmore alley but grow frustrated with the early warning system these people seem to have. They also claim the alley is too dangerous to control with just two officers. Several situations were described where officers were confronting loitering alley dwellers and were quickly surrounded by groups as large as twenty to thirty people. Officers talked about plain clothes attempts to watch the alley activity but were thwarted by the instant identification the alley crowd makes of anyone that does not fit in. Evaluation: A review of the activities and numbers represented in the tally of enforcement were inspected and it was agreed that officers certainly attained most goals originally discussed except for the drug problem. (attachment). Officers had a positive feeling towards the program and discussed several aspects of the individual memorable nights spent in this capa city. The comments that they received from citizen contacts while on the detail was one of a positive nature. Traffic enforcement was the leading activity in numbers. but with all of the patrol time spent moving around Sheffield this is not felt to be unusual. Traffic stops are the most noticeable for the residents in the area so it is a beneficial trade off. Officers made a lot of curfew arrests which impacts the younger crowd that habitually were observed on the streets. cont'd page 1 of 2 Evaluation Continued: The patrol also made numerous contacts with adults as well as juveniles which was another success at spreading the word that the police were present. Overall it was agreed, that the abatement of secondary violations was considered positive . The real problem still exists but with the continuing financial support of the City Council, further work on it can be done. Recommendations: Several recommendations were discussed and one was that the City should spend the remaining money allocated to hire an additional officer which would free an experienced person to participate with the Anoka County Drug Unit. Other discussion produced further ideas to address primary problems and goal setting. Because the drug alley in question is too dangerous for two men to be exposed, they recommend the expenditures to involve the C.I.D. Drug Unit, with their expertise and equipment, to assistin the strategy of a coordinated Drug Enforcement Operation to dosaturated surveillance followed immed iately by arrests.Operations of this nature could be timed with the "first of themonth money flow" as an example. The feeling was that it wouldtake only a few of these operations to put the area residents"Out of Business".To accomplish this, the need for six or more officers as well asenlisting help from other agencies would be in order. A canineunit from another community could be utilized to control anycrowds that the operation may attract when the arrests takeplace. All of this help would be funded with the remainder ofallocated funds should the City Council approve.If instituted, this project would be re-evaluated after twooperations so a determination could be made of whether or not tocontinue.The group recommended the continuance of the two man patrol carbut on a lesser frequency than in the past. They indicated once aweek would be sufficient for the secondary enforcement andperceptual needs. cc City Manager, Pat Hentges Sergeants Posting Copy Attachments page 2 of 2 attachment l S U N N A R Y S H E F F I E L D D E T A I L TRAFFIC TAGS/VIOLATIONS •••••••••• ••••••••• ADULTS .........

Mawhorter, Chief of Police Sheffield Neighborhood Response Plan August 6, 1993 I have met with Captain Olson and the Department first-line supervisors and reviewed the Sheffield Neighborhood response plan I submitted to the City Manager on July 22, 1993. We discussed the recommendations outlined in the plan and they offered alternative options for consideration. I feel that as a result of the meeting, we identified two areas that need to be addressed. They are: 1.the short term policing action necessary to further stabilize the Sheffield Neighborhood that will be implemented immediately, and 2.the long term goals necessary to keep this area and other areas in the city stable and address staffing needs of the department that will be further studied over the next few months. Problem Short term policing action necessary to further stabilize the Sheffield Neighborhood. Goal To institute a temporary program of aggressive patrol tactics designed to target issues of drug sales, curfew violations, loud and disturbing conduct, traffic and nuisance violations, etc. in the Sheffield Neighborhood. Strategy The department would deploy a squad in the Sheffield Neighborhood during identified· time periods with directives to do the following: Mayor Murzyn, City Council, City Manager Page 2 August 6, 1993 1.Zero tolerance enforcement of all traffic and parking laws. 2.Stop and I.D. with contact cards all suspicious persons. 3.Zero tolerance enforcement of all curfew laws. 4.Zero tolerance enforcement of loud parties and other disturbance calls. 5.Zero tolerance enforcement of all trespass and other ordinance violations. 6.Immediate response to citizen reports of drug sales in progress whenever possible. 7.Variation in patrol techniques (uniform, plain clothes) and times as needed. 8.Increased communication and cooperation with C.I.D. narcotics. 9.Close cooperation and communications with C.O.P. officers in coordinating information flow from citizens and in tactical operations. 10.Work with code enforcement to quickly abate nuisance situations; i.e., abandoned/junk vehicles, etc. Implementation 1.Responsibility for implementation and coordination would be with Captain Olson. 2.Coordination of efforts to be achieved by Captain Olson through Sergeant Roddy, Community Oriented Policing Coordinator, and other patrol sergeants. 3.Due to expressed concerns about officer safety and the nature of some possible tactical operations, a two-officer team is recommended. 4.Available staffing options include: a.Overtime by patrol officers. b.Overtime pay to patrol sergeants. c.The contractual use of Anoka County Sheriffs Office off duty deputies. Evaluation 1)It is recommended that if this option is used, that the deputy serve in a support role only, and that there always be a Columbia Heights Police Department officer on the detail acting as a lead officer. Evaluation of results could be accomplished through any or all of the following: 1.Tabulation of enforcement actions. Mayor Murzyn, City Council, City Manager Page 3 August 6, 1993 2.Tabulation of officer contacts. 3.Citizen surveys regarding improvement, or lack thereof, in neighborhood conditions as they see them. 4.Tabulation of instances where officer elicited the help of outside government agencies to solve problems and the outcome of these problems (nuisance abatement, etc.) Goal To provide the necessary human resources to adequately address neighborhood stabilization in Sheffield and other city neighborhoods and address the increasing demands for police services currently being placed on the police department. In discussion with Captain olson and the first-line supervisors, the following needs were addressed relative to this long term goal. 1.The need for more patrol staff. Though numbers varied among the participants, all stated a need to increase the staffing load of the department by three to four members. These personnel would be used in investigation and patrol. 2.The need to add one member of the department to be assigned to the Anoka County Criminal Investigation Unit and used in the narcotics task force. Implementation There are several strategies that may address these needs. All have their merits and problems. All should be equally considered prior to a final decision. Strategy I To add three to four officers to the department. To assign one officer to the narcotics task force and to deploy the remaining officers in patrol and investigations as needed. It was the consensus of the patrol captain and first-line supervisors that this strategy was the best one to pursue. I agree that this strategy would best address the staffing and service provision needs we currently face. Advantages of this strategy include: 1.Additional attention being given to Columbia Heights for narcotics related issues. Mayor Murzyn, City Council, City Manager Page 4 August 6, 1993 2.Some funding, in the form of asset seized monies, that could be used to offset the narcotics officer's personnel costs. 3.Full time employees will lessen the ongoing training needs of other options, preserve current staff deployment practices, and will provide full time officers for department needs. Disadvantages of this strategy include: 1.Cost to citizens. A rough estimate of the first year costs to hire three new officers is $135,000; four new officers would be $180,000. Strategy Il The use of full time licensed officers working part time. This strategy has been discussed at length on several occasions with command and first-line supervisors. They are not supportive of this option. This strategy would make use of trained and licensed police reserve officers from our reserve unit as opposed to utilizing officers from other departments. We currently have six reserve officers who are licensable (three as full time offaicers, one as a part-time officer). We also have one CSO who holds an active full time license). Advantages: 1.Can be used when needed only. 2.Afford greater flexibility to officers for vacation and comp. time use. 3.Cost savings to City. 4.Could form a pool of trained prospective full time employees. 5.Could help with efforts to hire minority persons on the department Disadvantages: 1.Lack of full time employee support. 2.Training time consumed. 3.Overcoming full time staff concerns of liability, safety, and training issues. Strategy ID To redeploy patrol officers in a manner that is more responsive to service demands. Our current schedule is mainly responsive to the day off rotation of the officers. A new schedule could be developed that is more responsive to our level of service demands by hour of day and day of week. Mayor Murzyn, City Council, City Manager Page 5 August 6, 1993 Advantages: 1.Puts officers on the street according to service demands. Disadvantages: 1.Lack of support on the part of officers to change from current deployment system. Summary ·Regardless of which option is chosen, we must do something to respond to these identified needs. Our current staffing and deployment level allows almost no flexibility to engage in any but the most basic police service delivery. When an officer leaves the department, staffing levels drop to a point where it is often difficult to keep up with the work load. The hiring and training period for a new officer is around a half year. When officers call in sick or take vacation or comp. time, the results are frequently very negative to our minimum staffing level. Our inability to allow officers adequate time to work on solving persistent problems in the community leads to a higher level of requests for police service, which only makes current problems worse.

Attached are operational reports from various Division Heads indicating the significant items undertaken or accomplished for the month of September. I trust you will find the reports to be informational and beneficial with regard to major undertakings occurring within the divisions in this past reporting period. 2)COMMUNITY SERVICE WORKER HOURS-- During the month of September, staff utilized the following hours of volunteer service: Administration/City Hall . . . . 6:10 hours -City Volunteers & Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey Library . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:00 hours -Fare Share Fire/Public Works ........ . 0:00 hours -Anoka-Hennepin-Ramsey / (' n }16:10 hours -Total / 0 �·rv (t� µ METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE (fl '� �� BO advfaed that Councilmember Nawrocki has invited Patrick Leung, OU, new Met Conncil representativ;f w_,·�, I'�to the November 22, 1993, City Council meeting. ,. ,jv -z/ � � 1;;trv.-\ .rn 0/4}1:\ � SECTION 8 CERTIFICATES-- �dvised that the current amount of Section 8 certificates in the community is at 172 from a year-end 1992 amount of 197 and a high in 1990 of 255. I think our aggressive enforcement of housing standards have resulted in a disqualification of many units previously eligible for the program. 5)RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT-- The Rice Creek Watershed District will soon be proposing a number of amendments to its water resource management plan. When the plan was developed in the late 1980's, a technical advisory committee comprised of Public Works Directors/City Engineers and City Managers/Administration was activated to review and comment on the proposed amendments. I will keep you apprised of the developing status of this effort. 6)CATCH BASIN STENCILING PILOT PROJECT-- Please be advised that on Saturday, October 9, student volunteers from Columbia Heights will be stenciling the catch basins that drain to Highland Lake. MANAGER'S REPORT Page 2 October 8, 1993 7)COUNTY ROAD 104 TURNBACKS-- Enclosed please find a sample letter to be sent to the residents on County Road 104 advising them as to the impact of turning back County Road 104 to the City. We also indicated that we will be considering the acceptance of the turnback at the October 25, 1993, Council meeting. 8)UPDATE ON THE WURTZ PROPERTY-- As you recall� Mr. Wurtz lives next to Ms. Joseph on Arthur Street. Ms. Joseph was the individual who received a permit to install a fence along the property boundary. However, we have had an ongoing problem with Mr. Wurtz concerning the excavation on ltls property. Currently, the Engineering Department is working with Mr. Wurtz who has submitted a plan to erect a brick retaining wall. Temporary plastic tarps have been installed to retain the soil until the wall is in place. 9)QUEEN'S FLOAT-- Be advised that a committee of parents, headed by Gary Mears, is in the process of obtaining funds to improve and upgrade the Queen's float. They will be reporting back to the City Council at a later date concerning their plans. If you know of anyone interested in contributing, please contact Mr. Mears at 574- 1017. 10)LEO BATCHA CLAIM-- Some of the Councilmembers may be aware of a claim regarding Leo Batcha at 4855 4th Street NE. Fair's Nursery damaged Mr. Batcha's sprinkling system upon installation of a tree on the boulevard. Without getting into great detail regarding who was at fault or regarding the marking and placement of the tree, Fair's Nursery attempted to fix the irrigation system. However, it was corrected improperly and Mr. Batcha incurred $125.28 repairing the sprinkler. I have directed a reimbursement of Mr. Batcha's claim and directed City staff to attempt to collect the same from Fair's Nursery. 11)SHEFFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZING MEETING-- City staff, under the coordination of Carol Frey, will be conducting a Neighborhood Organizing meeting for Sheffield on October 12, 7:00 PM, at Highland Elementary School. The purpose of the meeting is to gather information and advise from residents concerning the current status of the neighborhood, improve our crime watch efforts in the area and to ultimately develop an organized volunteer and advisory structure. City staff will keep the Council apprised of any developments or information discussed at the meeting. -1/ JUDICARE HOUSING LAWSIDT-- 'i-he__fjty's insurance carrier has now declined to handle the lawsuit by Judicare against the City and its various officials. Due to the short notice of their reconsideration, they will assist the City Attorney's Office in answering the claim. The City Attorney and myself will keep you apprised of the status. MANAGER'S REPORT Page 3 October 8, 1993 13)HOUSING CODE REVISIONS-- I request that you give a little extra attention to the handout that I submitted at the last work session, including the housing code memo, and the proposed ordinance of housing code changes. It is fairly important that this matter be resolved in the next thirty days so that the City staff can begin planning for inspections and administration of the program in 1994. This item will be on the next work session agenda. 14)BOOTSTRAP DAYS REPORT-- Enclosed please find a report from Mark Casey, who served as chairman of the 1993 Bootstrap Days Celebration. The general discussion at the evaluation meeting was that the business community seems to be losing interest in the business fair. It has been suggested that some of the normal City functions and events that occur during Spring could be condensed to a few weeks such as the various open houses, clean up day, etc. and be coordinated with an "Old-Fashioned Picnic" sponsored by the area businesses. Additionally, a housing fair, such as Richfield conducted, could also dovetail into these events. 15)RECREATION HALLOWEEN PARTY-- Sunday, October 31, 1993, between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, at Murzyn Hall, has been established as the Second Annual Halloween Party. The party is hosted by H. B. Fuller Company, First Community Credit Union, Northeast State Bank, and Project Pride funding. 16)WORK SESSION MEETINGS-- You are requested to establish a number of work sessions during the months of October and November. It is likely that the October 28th work session may be a special meeting on Sheffield and could include the HRA, who also may meet prior to the City Council's meeting. The balance of the meetings will cover general issues that are currently outstanding. Please note that these meetings are in addition to the Special Work Sessions that are established to review the various funds of the 1994 budget. Some of the budget discussion will also include information on various outstanding work session items. 17)MEETING WITH STATE LEGISLATURE-- In the past, I have arranged a meeting with local legislators in advance of the session. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss proposed local legislation and/or receive a briefing on issues. If you are interested, I could make arrangements for December or January.

At this time,the budget process is proceeding on schedule. LIQUOR.OPERATION With the cold, damp weather this summer, beer sales statewide and in our liquoroperation are down considerably. As beer is our top selling product line, this is resultingin a reduction in sales and profitability in the liquor operation. The new store at 37th andStinson is progressing well with a steady growth in customers. In general, this store isseeing a more affluent line of customers than the other two stores. At the present time,it is difficult to determine how successful the new store will be as on a regional basis thiswas a very poor summer for sales. To measure the true productivity of this store we willhave to look at it over at least a two-year period of time. 1993 CITY ELECTION The primary election held on September 21st went very smoothly. Total election resultswere available by 9:00 p.m., which is a new record. With the polls not closing until 8:00p.m., it is a major accomplishment to have total results available at 9:00 p.m. A majorportion of the credit for this is due to two things: first, the electronic scanning equipmentutilized at the polls is much more efficient that' the previous punch card system.Secondly, staff in the Finance Department have done an excellent job in training andpreparation to eliminate problems that were encountered in prior years. Operational Report October 4, 1993 Page Two On the negative side, the cost for printing ballots has increased greatly. In the past, the County used Circulating Pines to print the ballots. Although their cost was considerably more reasonable, the quality and dependability of their service left a lot to be desired. This, combined with Circulating Pines significantly reducing their staff, forced the County to go out for bids on the ballot printing. The low responsive bidder is a lot more expensive, resulting in a higher ballot cost for the 1993 election. The most serious concern during the election was handicapped accessibility at Shiloh Bethany Church. At that polling location, the signage directing voters to the handicapped accessible entrance was very minimal. New signage has been prepared and will more efficiently direct handicapped voters in the General Election. With the change in precinct boundaries and the reduction in the number of precincts from nine to eight, there was a minimal amount of confusion and very few voters expressed any concerns and/or complaints. ISSUES AND/OR PROBLEMS: ALEX ANTZARAS VS CITY OF COLUMBIA HEJGHTS On December 2, 1991, Alex Antzaras ran into the rear bumper of a City snowplow. The accident occurred at a non-controlled intersection. The City snowplow was approaching the intersection on the left and had almost cleared the intersection when the Antzaras vehicle entered on the right, striking the rear bumper of the snowplow. The City's insurance company had offered Mr. Antzaras $37,500 to settle this case out of court. Since this was not acceptable to him, both parties agreed to binding arbitration. The arbitrator ruled that the accident was 65% the City's fault and 35% the claimant's fault, and awarded a total settlement of $23,000, which saved the City's insurance company $14,500 from the out of court offer. In summary, although we lost to a certain degree, we had a significant victory. WORKER'S COMPENSATION In September the City received a refund check from Berkley Administrators, the company who administers the League of Minnesota Cities worker's comp insurance trust. The amount of the check was $25,756 and represents a rebate on the City's worker's comp insurance primarily for the year ending February 13, 1993. The City has been insured for worker's comp under this program for seven years, and has seen large rebates and reductions in the worker's comp premium for that period of time. Operational Report October 4, 1993 Page Three CITY TELEPHONE SYSTEM During the month of September, several problems were experienced with the telephone system. First, US West had some major cabling problems that caused a great deal of static on the lines and, for a period of time, several lines were inoperative. At this time, it appears that US West has corrected these problems and there are only minor difficulties. Also, the power supply on the City's phone system went down. The power supply has been removed and replaced with a temporary loaner from Taylor Telephone Systems. The defective power supply was returned to the factory for repair. It is anticipated that this repair will run in the area of $2,000. More information will be provided once an estimate of the cost is received. COMPUTERIZATION The conversion of the City's financial system from the IBM 36 to AS400 will be started in October. This conversion should be completed before the end of 1993, and all 1994 transactions will be on the new computer system. WE:dn 9310062 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: FROM: Mayor and City Council Members Chief David Mawhorter a Operational Report, September, 1993 October 7, 1993 SUBJECT: DATE: I.Events/ Accomplishments A.On September 16, 1993, we had the first meeting of the Violence Prevention Council. This is a group of•individuals from throughout the community who have, been brought together to discuss issues of violence in the community and to complete a plan of action at the end of their meetings. The Viotence Prevention Council is funded by the $3,000 grant from the Office of Drug Policy. They will meet approximately five times before forwarding a plan. B.On October 19, 1993, the Police Chiefs Forum hosted the first Blackbeard Olympics in Keyes Park. This event is for youth 11-16 years of age and featured a number of different fun-type games such as a watermelon-eating contest, a tug of war, soccer, etc. It was attended by 36 people. Funding for the event was obtained frcim various community organizations. There was very good volunteer participation, and the kids had a great time. The overall consensus from kids was that they, would like to do it again in the winter and in the spring. C.On September 21, 1993, Explorer Advisor Steve Korts conducted a first-nighter for new Explorers for the Police Department. There were several attendees, with three or four new Explorers signing up. This will be helpful to our law enforcement Explorer program, which allows youth in the community an opportunity to have an up front and personal look at a police officer career. The Explorer� also assist wi� varied events in the community and provide a valuable service to the community and police department. D.Also in September, I began meeting with approximately 15 other Chiefs throughout the state of Minnesota to develop a plan to bring a nationally rated community p0licing conference to the Twin Cities area. In addition, we may develop a community policing institute, which would be made up of individuals who have expertise in community policing and would be willing to offer technical assistance to other cities throughout the state who may wish to implement community policing. We have had several meetings and are discussing the possibility of obtaining funding through the Bureau of Justice for this seminar. I will keep you updated on our progress. Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 October 7, 1993 Il. Projects/Goals A.Good progress is being made on the federal grant for additional police office.rs to implement community policing in Columbia Heights and a state grant from the Office of Drug Policy for funding for a technical assistant to aid in community organizing, researching and implementing volunteer programs and call-reduction strategies, as well as some training funding. Both of these grant proposals are due October 14, 1993. We should be submitting on deadline without any problems. B.We have completed the initial phases of the Sheffield enforcement operation. Thus far, we have expended $11,402.60 in overtime wages for this operation. Basically, we have been conducting two-officer patrols with a zero-tolerance approach to violations in chis area. At this poin� we-have conducted 44 shifts, for a total of 380.25 hours. We have had 104 traffic violations and have made contact with 24 adults for such things as warrant arrests, pedestrian contacts, suspicious pers0J1s, detox, etc.; and 54 juveniles for such things as alcohol and tobacco, curfew, and genera1 contacts. On September 30, Captain Olson held an evaluation meeting with the officers who participated in the program. They felt they did a very good job in stabilizing the neighborhood and creating a sense of safet:y among the residents. The drug problem in the Fillmore alley still continues, although the number of people involved has decreased. We are requesting authorization ro continue with this program , however, we wish to change our strategy to one of lessened routine patrols and more target hardening strategies directed at the drug trafficking in the area. ill. Issues/Problems A.Attached you will find an analysis of January to September criminal calls for service, Part I and J>art II crimes for 1988 through 1993. The report shows that for 1993 as compared to 1992, for Part I offenses, we have the largest reduction. In the total six-year peried evaluated, there was a 12% decrease in the number of Part I crimes. There was a 10 % increase in the number of Part II crimes for the months of January through September, 1993 to 1992. This increase was largely due to increased enforcemenf activity throughout the city and specifically in the Sheffield area. There was a 214% increase in liquor law violations and a 324% increase in narcotics activities-- 1992 total was 21, 1993 total was 87. We also had a 253% increase in fraud. These are generally bad checks--with 38 in 1992 and 124 in 1993. Overall , the department had a 2% increase in Part I and Part Il crimes in 1993 as compared to 1992. In comparing 1988 numbers to 1993 numbers for January to September, you can see there is a 27% increase in Part I crime, a 42% increase in Patt Il crime, and a 36% increase overall. This would equate to ap overall average increase yearly 0f 6%. It is noted we bad a 12% reduction of Part I crimes and 10% increase in Part 11" crimes and an overall increase of 2% total, comparing 1993 to 1992. It is my belief that these numbers indicate that we are beginning to have an impact on our crime rates through our efforts to implement community policing in the city. B.Attached also is the department's September monthly report. This report shows a 25% decrease in Part I crimes, a 22% decrease in Part IT crimes, and a 23% decrease in calls for service for the month of September as compared to August, 1993.

BONITA TORPE, Admin. Assist. The Rice Creek Watershed District will soon be proposing a number of amendments to its Water Resource Management Plan. When the Plan was developed in the late 1980s, we used a Technical Advisory Committee, with representatives from each of the municipalities in the District, to provide input. We would like to re-activate this committee to provide review and comment on the proposed amendments, and request that you designate a representative from your municipality to participate. Past representation has included City Managers/Administrators, Public Works Directors and/or City Engineers--your choice. I would appreciate you calling or writing with the name of your designee as soon as possible, since we would like to call a meeting of the group by mid-October. Thank you for your assistance.

This will be a pilot project for what we hope will someday be a City-wide volunteer project. The students will also be disnibuting the attached door hangers to homes in the area to explain that anything going into the catch basins ends up in our lakes, ponds and the river and gives tips on keeping our environment cleaner. I would like to recognize Sara Harms, our intern, for bet efforts in putting this program together and Assistnnt City Engineer, Kathyjean Young, for her assistance to this project.

TI .... ?!itiil\� -:J ��i,1,�, Did You See This Message Near a Storm Drain? It's a reminder to keep pollutants off streets, driveways and sidewalks and out of storm drains. Melting snow and rain wash everything in their path off the pavement and into your storm sewer. Storm sewers then drain directly to local lakes, ponds, and rivers--not to a wastewater treatment facility. Many people are unaware of this and dump motor oil, antifreeze, and other wastes down the sewers. These pollute the water and threaten fish and wildlife. Fertilizers, grass clippings, leaves, soil, and soap are also pollutants. These all contain phosphorus which turn lakes and ponds green with algae in the summer . •Turn this card over and read how you can keep your neighborhood clean and environmentally safe. '"' --. What you can do to help: •Do not use the storm sewer to dispose of motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, paints, solvents, or any other materials. •Clean up spills of motor oil, antifreeze, and paint from your driveway right away so that they dot t get washed into the sewers. •Sweep (do not wash) fertilizer, soil, and grass clippings off driveways and walkways and onto your lawn. •Clean up leaves and other yard wastes from your driveway, sidewalk and the street. They can be bagged and collect.ed on your garbage day. •Clean up pet wastes from your driveway, sidewalk or the street. •Wash your car on the lawn, not the driveway, and use phosphorus-free soap. •Minimize your use of salt during the winter. For information on disposal of household hazardous waste call Anoka County Integrated Waste Management, 323-5730. Printed on recycled paper City of Columbia Heights (8/93) Mayor Donald J.

Typically, County roads were constructed to provide routes from farm to market or between cities within the county. In urban areas, county roads were generally more heavily traveled routes that needed more maintenance than cities could provide back when many city streets were not paved. The designation of County Road 104 was part of the agreement between the City and Anoka County when Kordiak Park was created, and does not meet the traditional criteria for a County Road. Because of this, the County's Comprehensive Transportation Plan recommends that County Road 104 be "turned back" to the City. What effect will this have on you as a homeowner along this route? As far as snow plowing and regular maintenance, there will be no change. The City has maintained this route for years under an agreement with the County. With regard to future reconstruction of the street when needed, you would be responsible for any assessments for half the width of the street in front of your home. The County has agreed to be subject to assessments for half the width in front of park property. If the street in front of your home is asphalt, you would be subject to assessments for sealcoating as are most of the property owners in the City. The Columbia Heights City Council will be considering the acceptance of the "turnback" of County Road 104 at their October 25, 1993 meeting. If you have questions, please contact the Anoka County Highway Department at 754-3520 or myself at 782-2880. Sincerely, Mark A. Winson, P.E.

CASEY, DIRECTOR OF RECREATION SUBJECT: 1993 BOOTSTRAP DAYS DATE: SEPTEMBER 29, 1993 As one of my final duties as the 1993 Bootstrap Days Celebration Chairman was to conduct the final wrap-up/evaluation meeting and hopefully pick the 1994 chairman. The meeting was held on Thursday, September 23rd and a majority of the 1993 planning committee was in attendance. Bruce Nawrocki stated Bootstrap Days originated out of the HRA to promote the new business center on 40th and Central Avenue. Bruce also stated that he sensed the businesses appeared to have disenfranchise themselves from the business fair. Karen Lennox, First Community Credit Union, told about how the businesses of Eau Claire, Wisconsin sponsored a fun day in the park. I then suggested we conduct an "old fashioned" picnic sponsored by the area businesses at Huset Park. Carol Frey suggested we tie in all the projects planned during the spring time, i.e. Beautification Project, spring clean-up, stenciling and volunteer recognition. Steve McAlpin, Chamber President and McAlpin Agency and Karen Lennox, First Community Credit Union, praised the idea, agreeing that businesses seemed to have lost interest in the business fair format. John Schutz, Northeast State Bank, stated that the spring "old fashioned" picnic will give the businesses an opportunity to give back to the community. After a bit more discussion, Heidi Burmis, Chamber President-elect and Barna, Guzy and Steffen and Carol Frey agreed to co-chair the 1994 event. rn����w�w1 L1..... ,--_,o'l' 1 1993 c:.;1 MANAGER CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS � - �® and Columbia Heights Recreation Department's H.B.

PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER CURT RICHTER COMPLAINT ON MR. STEAK'S FENCE OCTOBER 11, 1993 Be advised that Curt Richter living on the 4400 block of Tyler Place has filed complaints against Mr. Steak regarding the need for a fence between their parking lot and his property. Mr. Richter may also appear at Open Mike on this matter. City staff has attempted to get Mr. Steak to install the fence, however, they are indicating an unwillingness to do so at this time. Most recently, I have turned the matter over to the City Attorney's Office to determine if there is a legal recourse for us to prevail. The building was constructed in 1966; and, subsequently, added onto at a later date. Mr. Steak predates the codification of the code by Ordinance 853 in June of 1977. The building was subsequently upgraded in late 1977 and 1978. Neither the permits nor file information indicated the requirement to fence the parking area. It appears that our ability to enforce the ordinance through the criminal process may be viewed negatively by the courts, as we have not required the fence for 20-25 years . Two possible solutions may be mediation between the three parties: the City, Mr. Steak, and Mr. Richter; or alternatively, incorporating a new ordinance into the liquor licenses renewal process to require additional compliance with other codes and requirements of the City. • PH:bjs Mayor Donald J.

Columbia Heights, MN S�l-3878 (612)782-2800 .June 21, 1993 Mr. Steak, Inc. Robert V. Wolff and Thomas .J. Leverentz 4545 Central Avenue N.E. Columbia Heights, Mn. 55421 Dear Sirs: A complaint has been received with regard to the condition of your parking lot and the nuisance of ca� headlights shining in neighboring residential windows. Site inspection verifies that weeds are growing in the-paved area behind the parking lot and the alley. Please �aintain this area so it does not continue to be unsig�tly. The problem of car lights shining into·the windcvs of the residential property behind Mr. Steak can be remedied by having opaque fencing installed not over six (6}. feet high nor less than 3. 5 feet high. Please arrange to have the fencing in place within the next thirty (30) days. The fence will require a building permit to be obta�ed by the installer. A copy of the Columbia Heights Zoning Ordinance, Section 9.116(3) Design and Maintenance of Off-Street Parking and Loading Areas, is attached. If you have any questions, feel free to contact my office at 782-2818. Sincerely, j/ ,, ( � '-?u15;1�, Evelyn Nygaard Building/Zoning Administrator En/kp enc.
