Roll call: All ayes REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 24, 1994 PAGE 2 5.OPEN MIKE/PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS a.Commissioner Jim Kordiak Commissioner Kordiak was in attendance to discuss Anoka County's recent passage of a solid waste management charge. Approval of this charge was made at tqe January meeting of the Anoka County Board of Commissioners. The Columbia Heights City Council had sent a letter to the Board indicating its disapproval of this charge. Commissioner Kordiak noted this fee is not a tax but a service fee. It is necessary to continue the operation of the County's waste management programs. He distributed a work sheet which addressed the charges for various types of properties. He also explained how the formula for these charges was arrived at and how they are applied. Commissioner Kordiak advised all of these changes are a result of federal legislation which allowed for haulers to place their refuse in any landfill they desire. These changes were necessary to stay competitive. He is hopeful the federal government will re-think the issue and return to the former practices. Councilmember Nawrocki stated he hopes the County Board will review its formula in the corning year. He recognized the Board was given a very short period of time to accommodate the federal legislation. Councilrnember Ruettirnann suggested that the charges be increased for cities who do not meet their recycling/refuse quotas. Columbia Heights has always exceeded its quotas. Councilrnember Ruettimann felt the residents were being penalized by being exemplary recyclers. b.Medtronic Grant The Metronic Foundation, represented by Ms. Darralu Lindholm, presented a $4,000 grant check to the Council. These grant funds wi 11 be used to purchase supplies for the city-wide Catch Basin Stenciling Program. The actual stenciling will be done by volunteers in conjunction with the City's "Month of Caring." The total cost of supplies is estimated at $8,820.

The City Manager also advised that all allocations of these funds will be made by the City Council. He noted that if there are any funds not used for the Neighborhood Revitalization or Housing Rehabilitation Program in the Sheffield Neighborhood they will be made available city-wide. Councilmember Nawrocki feels the City Council should retain the responsibility in the use of the funds in either project and the Council should have the final decision in their ultimate use.

Jolly, Nawrocki, Ruettirnann, Peterson, Sturdevant -present PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE PUBLIC HEARING ON SHEFFIELD REVITALIZATION PLAN a.City Staff Presentation Pat Hentges, City Manager, reviewed the Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan. He defined the boundaries of the area and the probiems being experienced over the last few years. The problems were identified in the following categories: crime and public safety concerns; rental housing maintenance/ management; land use conflicts; low income concentration; negative perceptions of Columbia Heights which affects the City's image and implementation schedule. This the second informational meeting to be held on the Sheffield Neighborhood. The City Manager addressed what has been done since the first meeting to improve the area. Among the activities are zero tolerance by police patrols; drug enforcement increased; Section 8 oversight; purchase of fifteen problem duplex buildings; creation of a neighborhood organization (SHINE); revision of a development plan and improved code enforcement. The City Manager presented information on ten redevelopment alternatives which identified project scope, development assumptions, projects costs and financing sources. b.City Council Questions/Comments Members of the Council stated their preferences for alternatives presented. Councilmember Jolly inquired as to the timeframes for grant funding. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 31, 1994 PAGE 2 ·The City Manager advised that the Minnesota Housing FinanceAgency has indicated some flexibility on the City's behalf ifit is funded. Funding choices should be available by February7th. Councilmember Peterson felt the · alternative which would acquire and clear properties for the City to market lot sales was the best choice. He was concerned with how long this may take. He inquired if there could be any incentives for developers to complete the redevelopment in a shorter time such as two years or less. The City Manager suggested there could be consideration given for placing incentives into the project. Councilmember Peterson questioned the size of the lots, most of which are sixty feet, as being marketable. He suggested they be platted to a larger size resulting in sixteen lots rather than twenty. The City Manager stated there had been funds budgeted to look at marketing these properties and he would also look at replatting. c.Puhl ic Q'uestions/Comments The resident at 4216 Seventh Street felt the duplexes should be razed and the lots sold for single family homes only. He was of the opinion that if this isn't done the same problems will return to the area in the future. Keith Roberts, Chairperson of SHINE, noted that members of the organization had some items which they felt should be tied to the redevelopment plan. Among their suggest ions were the City should acquire al 1 buildings in the target block and raze themi the alley should be closed off and no vehicular traffic allowedi community policing programs should stay in tacti there be no sidewalks; landscaping requirements to include low interest loan availability for adjacent properties; additional lighting in the areai low interest rehabilitation loansi and two homes be designated for Habitat for Humanity projects. It was also desirabJe by the organization to have the additional officer proposed for 1994 be designated to work in a drug task force related position. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 31, 1994 PAGE 3 Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if the organization had any suggestions for sources of funding for these additional items. He noted that funds for these items may be taken from sources which would no longer be available for use in other areas of the City. Carol Knoph, 1315 45 1/2 Avenue, felt property values in the area wi 11 increase as soon as the bui !dings are razed. She supports razing the buildings and decreasing rental property. She has experienced increased safety in the area but was concerned with how long these empty buildings will remain. Jane Halek, 4602 Fillmore Street, inquired if the decision is going to be made by the City Council exclusively for the future of the Sheffield Neighborhood or are there going to be other people making the decisions as well. She also wondered if this issue could be put to a vote of residents. Councilmember Ruettimann responded that all concerns of the area and of the City will be taken into consideration by the City Council. He felt some of the goals of the SHINE group will be achieved although not immediately. Tony Yurkew, who recently sold two properties located in the Sheffield Neighborhood to the City, commended the City Council, the City Manager and the City Attorney on the work done to date on the Revitaliation Plan. Councilmember Peterson noted that the value of the community has declined because of this lingering problem area. He noted it will be costly to improve the Sheffield Neighborhood but felt the City cannot afford to not do this. He supports razing all of the structures. 4.CONTINUANCE Motion by Ruettimann, second Peterson to continue this Special Meeting which is a public hearing on the Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan to February 14, 1994.

Woods Columbia Heights City Attorney CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: February 14, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS/ ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL NO: 6 -ITEM: SHEFFIELD REDEVELOPMENT RESOLUTION BY: PAT HENTGES B� (Q ft ,....._- NO: DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 1994 The attached resolution from the City Council will designate the Sheffield neighborhood as a redevelopment and housing development project and approves the redevelopment plan and housing development program for the project. By adopting the resolution and plan, it affords the City the authority to undertake a comprehensive redevelopment and housing program within the defined area boundaries and involving any of the following activities, including: Demolition of unsafe or unsanitary buildings, Acquisition and repair of existing buildings, Sale, grant of property for private development, and/or Sale of excess property for housing development by a non-profit housing corporation. By designating the area as a redevelopment and housing development project, the City and/or HRA may finance the entire cost of the project, including administrative expenses an� debt charges with any one or more of the following methods: Apply and accept state or federal grants, Issue bonds or other obligations for redevelopment and housing activities as defined in Minnesota statutes, Use revenue pool including for example, revenues from other redevelopment districts to assist in the payment of outstanding bonds, HRA may establish a special benefit tax fund for the payment of debt charges, Operate a special taxing district within the neighborhood, Facilitate the transfer of funds for redevelopment purposes between City funds or between the City or the HRA. · . Before any one of the above;mentioned funding sources is used for redevelopment or housing purposes including federal·dr state grants, it is typical that a public hearing in the form of a redevelopment or. ho·u_siiig development plan approval would be conducted. For example, in the very near future the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency will again be offering another request for proposals involving grants from their community rehabilitation fund. A critical element of this grant process involves an advance hearing on the use of the funding in a designated neighborhood or geographic area. Typically, this is presented in the form of designating an area as a redevelopment or housing development district. The adoption of this plan assures MHFA an agency like MHFA that the statutory tests of blight or low income impact are met. -continued- COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of : February 14, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS/ ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER'S CITY MANAGER APPROVAL NO: 6 ITEM: SHEFFIELD REDEVELOPMENT RESOLUTION BY: PAT HENTGES BY: NO: DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 1994 age 2 Therefore, it is important to keep moving towards the final approval and designation of this area as a redevelopment and housing development project. The term "project" and "plan" are loosely defined in Minnesota statutes. Again, the law builds in a certain flexibility in that the very nature of the plan can be general in terms of final development costs or financing sources and/or specific identification of properties. On the other hand, it is equally important for the city council to reach final consensus on preferred alternatives or at the very least resolve their questions on the certain aspects of the plan. Thus, it is important for the Council to have consensus on the direction of the plan and clearly understand the general aspects outlined herein. More specifically, Council members have inquired along the following lines: Eliminate unacceptable development alternatives from the ten alternatives that were offered. Use liquor fund revenues as a source of funding in lieu of all or a portion of the four cities bond residual. For technical purposes, rename the Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan be renamed formally to Sheffield Neighborhood Redevelopment and Housing Development Plan. Those it's not required to be in the plan, perhaps maybe an official to indicate that all resales of properties acquired will go through statutory requirement of a public hearing on each specific individual sale. The reference to the Sheffield Neighborhood Stabilization Study should be clarified to indicate that relationship with that report is only to further support a need for public intervention, not to approve the individual strategies outlined in the document. Further clarify the relationship or impact of funding this program on the tax­ increment reserves of the city. More specifically define the timetable and implementation actions that are necessary to undertake one or more of the development costs alternatives outlined herein (i.e., property acquisition approvals, budget/financing approvals, or RFP process). In light of these concerns, Council Member Ruettimann has suggested that the adoption of this plan be tabled until the February 28th meeting and that in the meantime, a special work session be arranged for the sole purpose of resolving any questions with the redevelopment plan and providing more specific information on the above items. I agree that a significant undertaking such as this should be more thoroughly discussed by the council. I emphasis that it is important that the implementation process begin over the next few months, as currently the neighborhood is in somewhat of a flux as a result of the redevelopment discussion. For example, property owners are making decisions to sell their property or to re-rent dwelling units. -continued- COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of : February 14. 1994 AGENDA SECTION: PUBLIC HEARINGS/ ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL NO: 6 ITEM: SHEFFIELD REDEVELOPMENT RESOLUTION BY: PAT HENTGES BY: NO: DATE: FEBRUARY 11, 1994 -g RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the Resolution, there being ample copies available to the public.

The study found no physical constraints to development of the 3 vacant parcels located within that study area. The vacant residential lot on Johnson Street Northeast however, has not been built upon since it was platted. Traffic/Transit Consideration The traffic level of the area (off of Central Avenue Northeast) is typical of minor arterial streets. The commercial properties along Central Avenue Northeast experience traffic of a major street. (It is State Trunk Highway 65 serving populations traversing North and South, from and to Northern suburbs and downtown Minneapolis.) The area is also served by MTC as a bus transit route along Central Northeast. Conditions in Sheffield Neighborhood AverDJe During 1993, the City Housing Maintenance Code Enforcement personnel inspected all of the rental units in the Sheffield Neighborhood and did a windshield survey of the other properties in the neighborhood. Complete interior/exterior inspections of the 20 duplex properties in the target block (east side of 4600 block of Fillmore Street and west side of 4600 block of Pierce Street) found 16 of the 20 duplexes in the block with multiple violations. Of those 16 duplex properties the City has acquired 12 of the vacant duplex properties. At least 16 of the 2 0 properties in that block are blighting influences on the neighborhood. Outside of the target block, the City inspection found 27 other duplex buildings with multiple violations of the Housing Maintenance Code and blighting influences in the neighborhood. Due to lack of sufficient parking, at least three multiple unit structures are blighting influences on the -4- INTRODUCTION: The City of Columbia Heights (City) and Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Columbia Heights (HR.A) have completed a study of vacant and underutilized parcels, and the housing conditions and commercial/ residential conflicts in the Sheffield Neighborhood and has considered appropriate public intervention in development and redevelopment of the area. This study follows the study completed for the Sheffield Neighborhood "Neighborhood Stabilization Plan", completed in June, 1993. The Neighborhood Stabilization Plan reflects the problems with crime and public safety, land use conflicts, low income concentration and negative perceptions,of Columbia Heights. These identified concerns are in the process of being met by neighborhood policing and through thiE, plan. STUDY/PROJECT AREA DEFINED: This Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan includes the area of the City as reflected on the attached maps of the area (Exhibit "A") and as included in the following bounded area in the City of Columbia Heights: South Boundary : 45th Avenue between Easterly edge of Keyes Park and Central Avenue. East Boundary : Johnson Street (rear property lines of Easterly properties) and Easterly edge of Keyes Park. West Boundary : Central Avenue between 45th and 47th Avenues. North Boundary : 47th Avenue between Johnson Street (rear property lines of Easterly properties and Central Avenue) . The above defined area is hereinafter referred to as the "Sheffield Neighborhood" . BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Physical Characteristics The study /project area is primarily developed with residential la .nd uses: 7. 3 acres, or 119 lots are si�gle-family, and 14.6 acres, or 92 lots are two­family residential. Multi-family housing comprises 7.2 acres. Commercial uses comprise 3.4 acres. Approximately 9.5 acres are used for public park and approximately .5 acres are vacant. The vacant parcels include two lots on the 4600 Block of Taylor Street and one on the 4600 Block of Johnson Street. -3- Second, promote the turnback of the rental duplexes mixed in with single family homes to owner-occupied units. This would be accomplished via special loan incentive programs for new owners and public acquisition of some of the duplexes.-Duplexes acquired would be rehabilitated and either converted to single family dwellings or rehabilitated and sold to owners who may receive special financing in return for agreeing to live in the unit for a minimum period of time. Third, with Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) grants, HRA tax levy, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), and/or other funding sources, low interest rate loans and/or deferred loans/grants would be made available to homeowners and rental property owners. These loans/grants would be made for limited types of improvements which would upgrade properties. On single family and duplex units loans/grants, to the extent possible, owners will be required to live in the units for a minimum stipulated period of time. Fourth, the City/HRA will address the commercial/residential land use conflicts in the area by providing incentive programs for the construction of buffer areas between the commercial properties along the East side of Central Avenue and the residential properties to the rear. A special zero interest rate deferred loan program may be established so as to provide a limited amount per each business that would have to be repaid after three years on a three year installment basis with the full amount to be paid within six years from the date of the loan or upon sale of the property, whichever occurs first. Fifth, the City/HRA will acquire and remove, and/or renovate multi-family structures to reduce the density and blighting conditions in the neighbor­hood. -2 - SHEFFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City of Columbia Heights (City) and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Columbia Heights (HRA) has undertaken a study of the issues surrounding the instability of the residential/commercial neighborhood commonly known as the Sheffield Neighborhood. This study includes an analysis of issues surrounding three particular components: first, the intensity of duplex and multi-family housing in the neighborhood and the lack of upgrading and maintenance on such; second, the need for either substan­tial upgrading or removal of blighting influence single family, duplex and multi-family housing units; and third, the need for buffer areas between the commercial developments along Central Avenue and the residential properties to the west of them. The City/HRA has concluded that public interaction is warranted in the Sheffield Neighborhood to satisfy a public need. During the past 10 years, there has been a general decline in the area. Property values on single family, duplex and multiple unit buildings have declined substantially. Parcels that had det�riorated houses removed from them and have been made available for redevelopment have not sold after active promotion of the properties by private interests. Due to the decline in values and lack of proper maintenance, rental units have been rented to marginal quality renters. The marginal quality renters have caused law enforcement and other neighborhood problems. The negative influence of this neighborhood has caused declines in values of property outside the neighborhood and possibly city-wide. In order to arrest the decline of and improve the values of property and living conditions in the Sheffield Neighborhood, the City/HRA has identified their role in acquiring and removing or renovating blighting influence properties. In addition, the City has determined that it is necessary to provide financial assistance for homeowners/rental property owners in the neighborhood to enable and encourag•a them to upgrade their homes /rental properties to current day standards. The number of blighting influence properties, vacant unsold parcels, need for substantial upgrading of properties in the Sheffield Neighborhood, and other problems in the area attest to the need for public intervention to stabilize and improve the neighborhood. To meet the needs of the Sheffield Neighborhood, the City/HRA has developed a five-part strategy. First, acquire 20 duplex properties in the target block area (10 properties along the East side of the 4600 block of Fillmore Street and 10 properties along the West side of the 4600 block of Pierce Street), remove or renovate the duplexes into single family homes along with construction of public improvements. On those properties where duplexes are removed, the lots would be sold for private redevelopment of single family homes thereby reducing the population density in the neighborhood. -1 - neighborhood. The vacant lots in the 4600 block of Taylor Street and Johnson Street are unevenly graded and roughly cut which detracts from the appearance of the adjoining residential structures. The majority of the 10 multiple unit structures, duplexes and 119 single family houses were built in the late 1950 's and early 1960 's and have substantial deferred maintenance. The 6 commercial properties are in good condition, however, there are no buffer areas between the commercial establishments and the residential properties to the rear. Also, see attached appendices for other condition information about the Neighborhood. ZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATIONS: The zoning designations of the study/project area are illustrated in Exhibit "B" in the Appendices. The majority of the area is zoned R-2 (duplex or single family) with minor portions of R-1 (single family), R-3 (Multiple Unit), and RB (Retail Business). Current uses are in conformance with zoning and the City Comprehensive Plan, however; the Comprehensive Plan does recommend landscaping (buffer) areas between the commercial areas along Central Avenue and the abutting ( to east) residential properties. Thus, supporting future redevelopment activities along Tyler Street and Central Avenue. PREVIOUS STUDIES: During 1993 the City prepared the "Neighborhood Stabilization Plan, Prepared for: Sheffield Neighborhood". This report, included in the appendices, includes detail in regard to the Sheffield Neighborhood as follows: (1) Crime and Public Safety Concerns; (2) Rental Housing Maintenance/Management; (3) Land Use Conflicts; (4) Low Income Concentration; (5) Negative Perceptions of Columbia Heights; and (6) Implementation Schedule. RATIONALE FOR PUBLIC INTERVENTION: Statutory Provisions Included in the statutory purposes of housing and redevelopment authorities is the ability of an HRA to clear and redevelop "substandard, slum or blighted areas", specifically blighted areas which cannot be redeveloped without government assistance. In determining whether blighted or substan­dard areas exist, consideration may be given to conditions such as degree of deterioration, obsolescence, the original land planning, lot layout and so on. These are the fundamental elements which must be considered in the determination of whether or not the city and its HRA should intervene in the study/project area. The HR.A/City should be involved in this area based on the earlier cited high degree of blighting conditions in the area in particular in the target block (west side of 4600 block of Fillmore Street and east side of 4600 block of Pierce Street). Of the 20 duplex properties on that block, 16 have been found to be blighting influences on the neighborhood based on Housing Maintenance Code inspections of the interior and exteriors of the units. There are 27 other buildings in the Sheffield Neighborhood which have been determined to be blighting influences. The overall condition of the entire neighborhood is a negative influence on the entire City. -5- Due to the age of the single family, duplex, and multifamily units, the concentrations of multiple and duplex units in the area, and federal and state income tax dis-incentives, the majority of the rental and owner occupied uni ts have substantial deferred maintenance and updating. In addition, lower rents have attracted problem tenants to the neighborhood causing law enforcement and ot_her problems in the neighborhood. Because of the above housing related concerns in the Sheffield Neighborhood and the negative influences that neighborhood is having on other areas of the City, and the lack of addressing the problems by the private sector, it isnecessary for the public to become involved in the ways cited in this Revitalization Plan. In regard to the commercial/housing conflicts, due to "grandfather" clause provisions, the existing commercial property owners along Central Avenue cannot be required to install buffer areas between commercial properties and the abutting residential properties. Public incentives are needed to have proper buffers installed. Relevant BRA/City Goals/Policies: In addition to statutory authority for public intervention, the "1992Columbia Heights Comprehensive Plan Update" reflects in its Land Use and Redevelopment Plan Goals and Policies the following goals, "Protect and enhance the residential neighborhoods of the community; and improve the commercial viability of the Central Avenue corridor while protecting nearby residential neighborhoods." The Comprehensive Plan further reflects the following: 1.Neighborhood Protection: The City will work to protect theintegrity and long-term viability of its low-density residentialneighborhoods and strive to reduce the potential negative effectsof nearby commercial or industrial land development through zoning,site plan reviews and Code enforcement. 2.Central Avenue: The City will work to complete the evolution ofthe Central Avenue Corridor to commercial activity through land useplanning, zoning and, when warranted, private redevelopmentassistance. More municipal control will be exerted over theappearance and function of commercial areas along Central Avenue. The HRA Goals for 1994 include the following: 1.Assist City in addressing redevelopment concerns in the SheffieldNeighborhood and in other areas of the City with concentrations ofrented housing. 2.In an effort to reduce the amount of rental type housing in theCity (currently over 2,500 of the 8,100 dwelling units in the Cityare rental type units) and increase the opportunity for homeowner­ship by low to moderate income families, provide additionalincentives to enable such families to acquire dwelling units. Inaddition, in lieu of constructing more new low cost senior housing,convert existing apartments into senior occupancy use to meet theneeds of lower income seniors in the City. Having additional lowrent senior only housing in existing rental units would enable and -6- encourage seniors to sell their houses. In most cases it is expected that the houses sold by seniors will be purchased by low to moderate income families with children. 3.Continue single family and rental housing neighborhood improvementprogram by continuing efforts to encourage and assist owners torehabilitate deteriorating units and by acquisition and rehabilit­ation or clearance of deteriorated houses. Resell lots fordevelopment of houses in accordance with City Codes. 4.Continue current single family and rental rehabilitation programsthrough the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA). 5.Continue involvement in the CDBG Home Improvement Grant Program forsingle family homes. 6.Continue involvement in federally funded HOME Program. 7.Research feasibility of, and establish if feasible, a low interestrate home improvement loan program for moderate income home owners. 8.Continue involvement in the MHFA Minnesota Cities Participation ProgramFirst Time Homebuyer Program. The HRA/City has been involved in publicly assisted acquisition rehabilita­tion programs since the 1970's. During 1994, funds from several of the programs will be targeted to the Sheffield Neighborhood under this Revital­ization Plan. -7- RBDEVBLOP11EHT COST AL'J.'ERRM.'IVES: Redevelopment activities which involve a number of properties are typically more expensive than those with fewer numbers of owners. In addition, the redevelopment project for this neighborhood involves not only land acquisitions and clearance, but potential additional funding directed to residential rehabilitation. Keep in mind, that the purpose of adopting a redevelopment plan is to support the legislative authority to publicly intervene in the neighborhood. The plan must provide supportive documentation or evidence of blighted conditions and outline redevelopment alterna­tiv�s that could be further investigated or adopted in the form of a redevelopment project. Further, the existence of an adopted redevelopment plan enables the city to access other government funding sources such as grants or certain types of bond financing. In the narrative that follows, the redevelopment cost alternatives are outlined in the form of ten different projects that could be implemented in neighborhood. In order to fully obtain the goals of this plan, the City and BRA will likely have to implement more than one redevelopment cost alternative. For example, the first seven alternatives have the following objective: The project(s) serve to eliminate the most blighted conditions or negative influences affecting neighborhood property values by replacing it with new reinvestment. These projects could serve as the catalyst to boost property values and promote reinvestment throughout the balance of the neighborhood. The next three alternatives would work in unison with any of the first seven alternatives mentioned as they deal with the balance of neighborhood properties off of the 4600(s) block between Pierce Street and Fillmore Street. For example, the last three alterna­tives have the following objective: The project ( s) work in unison to eliminate any further blighted conditions or negative influences on scattered sites throughout the neighborhood, by providing property owners with public incentives to upgrade their properties. These projects could work as an initial redevelopment phase for the neighborhood while the target block is being acquired or could serve as the concluding phase of redevelopment after the target block is fully redeveloped. In the following pages, ten redevelopment alternatives are identi­fied in terms of project scope, development assumptions, project costs, and financing sources. -8- RBDEVELOPJIKBT COST ALTERBATIVE BO. 1: ACQUISITIOB ARD CliDRARCB POR DBVELOPIIDl'.l' PROJECT SCOPE: The city would complete the acquisition on a voluntary sale basis of the remaining twenty duplex buildings on the 4600(s) . block between Pierce Street and Fillmore Street. After the total block is acquired, the buildings would be demolished and the site marketed for future residential development project(s). DEVELOPMENT ASSUMPTIONS: 1.The city already has acquired twelve of twenty duplex buildingson the 4600(s) block between Pierce Street and Fillmore Street.2.All remaining property would be acquired solely on a voluntarysale basis, without the need for condemnation.3.This alternative does not include the clearance or cost ofredeveloping the three city-owned buildings off of the targetblock.

The twenty homes wou.ld be split entry or one level designs with tuck­under garages. Each home could be easily expanded into four bedroom homes or homes with large family rooms. Homes will average, (excluding garage area), 1,500 square feet of liveable area and sell for between $80,000 and $95,000. DEVELOPMENT ASSUMPTIONS: 1. 2. 3 • The city would provide one block area of land. The developer would be responsible for the construction, sale, mortgage financing, and construction financing of the homes. The developer fees would be capped for each home, and a level of quality and workmanship would be specified by a development agreement. 4. . . 5. Each homeowner would be required to abide by a set of restric­tive covenants and a homestead agreement.

This is assumed to be a companion program to any redevelopment efforts undertaken on the 4600 ( s) block of Pierce Street and Fillmore Street. The combination of loans and grants would be matched with private investment and concentrated in the order of priority for upgrade of building exterior, common grounds and parking areas, building security/fire safety, and interior doors and floor coverings, etc. The initial phase of the program would rehabilitate fifty dwelling units over a two year period. DEVELOPMENT ASSUMPTIONS: 1.The public investment would be in the form of a grant and/ora loan, but would not exceed $10,000 per dwelling unit.2.Certain priority improvements would qualify for a not toexceed $2,500 grant, matched on a 50/50 basis by City/BRA andhomeowner.3.The general improvements are to be financed by up to a $7,500per dwelling unit low-interest loan financed on a 75% City/BRAloan and 25% matching private fund basis.4.The city would provide solicitation, an analysis, and inspec­tion services through the BRA Project Manager.5.The'city would determine the priority level of improvementsthat are subject to grant funds and low interest loan financ­ing.6.Each individual grant and loan would be approved by appropri­ate legislative body of the City Council and/or BRA.

In the event the area is designated as a redevelopment project, the city can use its community develop­ment block grant (CDBG) funds as relaxed income qualification guidelines. A not to exceed $15,000 per home matched in the form of grants or low interest loans would be made available to single family homeowners, interested in upgrading their property. Priority will be directed to improvements that e.liminate exterior blight and substandard conditions. DEVELOPMENT ASSUMPTIONS: 1.The program contemplates rehabilitation of twelve singlefamily homes or owner-occupied duplexes over a three yearperiod.2.Priority grant assistance would be given to homeownerscontemplating improvements that improve the exterior appear­ance of the dwellings.3.This alternative assumes the acquisition and clearance byvoluntary sale of three substandard buildings.

The city would provide grant assistance and/or second mortgage financing to landlords who have ·pre-sold their duplexes to qualified buyers agreeing to homesteadthe property. The grant assistance and low interest financing will be used to correct code deficiencies, make exterior appearance improvements, and for down payment assistance. DEVELOPMENT ASSUHPTIONS: 1.It is assumed that ten duplex buildings could be rehabilitatedand homesteaded under this program.2.The before and after value of the property will be determinedby an independent appraiser.3.Design/value analysis will be supplied at no cost to thelandlord/seller by the city.4.Purchasers will pre-qualify for a combination grant and lowinterest loan by the city.5.Prospective landlord/sellers will receive 1993 value for thesale of their duplexes.6.The grants and/or below market rate portion of the interest onloans will be forgiven if the tenant homesteads the propertyfor a period of at least 15 years.7.Prospective buyers wil.1 participate in a property manage­ment/landlord seminar and enter into a property managementagreement concerning the operation of their property.

As of September 28, 1993, the First Trust Account contained $443,428 of unencumbered funds available for reuse by the City. Prior discussions with Holmes & Graven indicate that the funds can be used in'conjunction with the Sheffield Home Ownership Program. As opposed to using the Four Cities bond money as a direct source of funding for the Sheffield Project, another alterna­tive could be considered. First, the funds are deposited in our tax· increment financing accounts. This will e.J i mi nate the cash flow problems that the city will experience as a result of the Columbia Heights Business Center tax delinquencies. Second, a settlement agreement on delinquent taxes and future taxes with a new purchaser for the Columbia Heights Business Center should be completed. The settlement would free up TIF cash reserves for not only Sheffield redevelopment plan, but also an ongoing or revolving city-wide program for housing revitalization. Future Year CDBG Allocation . • • • • • • • • • • $230,000. In 1994, the City Council allocated $231,890 to the Sheffield . neighborhood. This funding could be used for acquisition -and/or rehabilitation projects. In the event the area is designated as a redevelopment district, City does have some flexibility in relaxing the conmnmity development guidelines in an effort to impact · more properties. The targeting of Community Development Block Grant Funds in a neighborhood is a successful method of assuring the removal of blighted conditions and the revitalization of neighborhoods. For example, out-state cities who do not have entitlement funding have to compete for block grants. Accordingly, their strate­gies tend to target the money into neighborhoods with the most prevalent needs and blighted conditions. In the future years, the City can redirect this money into the neighborhoods or areas that have the most prevalent blighted conditions. City Fund Balances •••••••••••••••• $????? Further analysis of the City's fund balances will reveal someflexibility to dedicate funding to the Sheffield project or for that matter, an ongoing neighborhood revitalization program. For the most part, this should be done with revel v­ing loans as opposed to grants. The plan has identified some funding support to the BRA for administrative purposes. The consolidation of city staff and BRA staff may in fact elimi­nate future BRA administrative funding needs or potential shortfalls that the BRA will eventually experience if they continue to operate independent of the City. -21- Discretionary funding •••••••••••••• ???? Throughout the discussions on redevelopment cost alternatives, various outside funding sources have been identified. For example, the City has an application pending with l!IHFA for a $350,000 grant for neighborhood revitalization. Depending on the alternative that is chosen for implementation, these grant funds could be reapplied for or if the grant is awarded, thegrant application may be amended. The plan also outlined thepotential of a down payment subsidy program through the Federal Home Loan Bank Program. After a redevelopment alternative is identified, there are other agencies and funding concepts that could be applied for with a high likelihood of being awarded, because of the leverage of thelocal dollars that potentially is being committed to the neighborhood. Prior Year CDBG Acquisition Balances •••••••$34,000. The 1993 CDBG acquisition balance contains $34,300. The BRA Executive Director has confirmed that this funding could be directed to acquisitions of blighted duplex buildings. Future Sale of BRA Lots $75,000 The BRA owns five lots through their acquisition efforts. Speaking optimistically, the sale of these lots at approxi­·mately $15,000 each will result in proceeds of $75,000. The BRA cash reserves may have to interimly fund the $75,000 until the ultimate sales are closed. BRA Fund Balance •••••• $125,000 Currently, the BRA has approximately $272,000 of Undesignated General Fund reserves that could be invested in the project. This is exclusive of any special revenue fund dollars for Parkview Villa or CDBG funds. As long as the BRA remains anindependent organization, it would seem sensible to maintain a healthy cash reserve. However, a below market interest rate loan program could be established, so as to assure repayment to the BRA. BRA Tax I.evy • • •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• $71,000/PR YR The City Council and the BRA have made arrangements for the collection of a special BRA levy presumed to be dedicated to the Sheffield housing problem. In the event the BRA issued bonds for 20 years, $750,000 could be financed. The proceeds of the sale could be used for public improvements, down payment assistance, and a portion of the rehabilitation costs. Private Mortgage Financing •••••••••••• ??? The City has solicited interest from local banks and lenders as to their willingness to participate in special mortgage financing for Sheffield Neighborhood. Because of their Community Reinvestment Obligations, the banks have initially agreed to funding local programs. -22- IMPLEMENTATION TIME TABLE: The following is the time table that identifies dates of adoption and the initial implementation of the redevelopment plan: January 31. 1994 The City Council conducts a public hearing at John P. MurzynHall concerning various aspects and alternatives outlined in plan. The hearing is recommended to be continued until the regular council meeting of February 14, 1994. February 1, 1994 Planning and Zoning Commission reviews and commits on plan. February 81 1994 BRA Board of Commissioners adopts plan. February 14, 1994 City Council continues public hearing and adopts plan as amended. February 14, 1994 City Council directs staff to negotiate with developers or draft a Request for Proposals (RFP's) for redevelopment plans for the neighborhood. Karch 14. 1994 City Council receives Redevelopment Proposals and begins selection and negotiations process.

Back in 1988, ordinance number 1160 passed, which gave Community Service Officers authority to issue citations for specific violations of law. The ordinance also gave other city department personnel authority to write citations for other ordinance violations. Basically, this ordinance needs to be amended to cover Community Service Officers in the enforcement of areas not originally deemed to be in their area of duties and responsibilities. Presently according to Section 1, Ordinance No. 1282, Community Service Officers could issue citations for: overtime parking in public parking areas, loading zones, bus stops and taxi stands, metered parking areas, boulevard parking, violations of a boulevard parking permit, handicap parking, temporary or emergency no parking -parades, etc., six hour maximum parking, parking in a traffic lane or in an alley, abandoned vehicle, fire lanes or other parking violations on private property, junk vehicles, obstruct traffic in a private parking lot, overtime parking in a private parking lot, no parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., no parking April 1 to May 1 when 3 1/2 inches or more of snow on the street, bicycle registration, bicycle lights and reflector, miscellaneous bicycle violations, animalviolations, unauthorized signs in the public right-of-way, junk vehicles, bicycle impound, parking in a park 11 p.m. to 6 a.m, pets on leash when in City park, miscellaneous parking violations, handicap parking, parallel curb parking, and operation of bicycles. It is proposed that Section 1, Ordinance No. 1282 should also have the following areas added: Commercial Licensing Regulations, no vehicle parked in landscaped areas, building and construction, street excavations, garbage and rubbish, fire safety, substandard structures, hazardous buildings, snow on sidewalks, and other nuisances. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the ordinance, there being ample copies available for the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve on first reading Ordinance No. ___ , City Code of 1977, Authorizing Persons other than Peace Officers to Issue Tags for Certain Violations. of Law and to schedule second reading of the ordinance for February 28, 1994.

As long as the function or project is sponsored by the City there is no differentiation in the liability insurance coverage between City employees or volunteers. In our general liability policy there are some general exclusions; however, these are pretty standard exclusions and apply to projects done by staff, or volunteers, or anyone. If you can provide me with a list of the type of projects the volunteers will be doing, I will submit it to the insurance company for an opinion as to whether or not they would be excluded from coverage. If any are excluded from coverage, the insurance company will then give us an option of procuring that coverage for an additional premium; however, I do not anticipate that any of the projects will be excluded. Regarding coverage for the volunteers themselves, the City has no such coverage. None of the City's liability, workers comp or other policies would provide coverage for volunteers if they are injured in the normal course of doing a volunteer project. If for some reason negligence on the part of the City caused an injury to a volunteer, the City's general liability policy would defend and protect the City. If the volunteer is injured in the normal course of performing the volunteer activities, there would be no coverage. In 1992, I researched volunteer insurance coverage. The League of Minnesota Cities has a very minimal accident plan for volunteers. This plan only paid a maximum of $1,000 in medical costs per volunteer per injury and had several situations where volunteers would be excluded. Subsequently, no action was taken in procuring insurance for volunteers. The City does have a self-insurance trust fund. I recommend that procedures be established to cover volunteers under this self-insurance trust fund rather than procuring an insurance policy. If you would like more information on this subject, please let me know. WE:dn 9401261 RESOLUTION NO WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to develop civic pride through citizen involvement and participation; and WHEREAS, the City recognizes the need to participate and encourage participation in the "Celebrate Heights Pride Community Event".

Commissioners Fowler and Hanson were not in attendance. Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator), Don Schneider (Director of H.R.A./City Planner) and LeAnn Bocwinski (representing the City Attorney's office). Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of January 4, 1994 as presented in writing. Roll Call: All Ayes. NEW BUSINESS: A.Public Hearing Conditional Use Permit Case #9402-04 Linders Greenhouses RE: 4300 Central A venue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Linders Greenhouses for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a "mini garden center" on the easterly portion of the parking lot at 4300 Central A venue from April 16 through June 26, 1994. They are asking for an additional one week before to set up and one week after closing the operation for removal. The operation will be the same as in the past four years. She indicated a letter from the property owners, Kraus-Anderson Developments, had been received allowing Linder Greenhouses to operate on their property. Evelyn Nygaard presented some concerns of the Fire Department pertaining to Article 32 of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code regarding tents, canopies and temporary membrane structures. Mr. Linder indicated that the required number of fire extinguishers and exits would be provided. He also has provided the City with specific manufacturing specifications on the structure used. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Larson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit provided a $500 deposit is submitted to the City prior to the installation to ensure complete removal of the operation no later than July 1, 1994. Roll Call: All Ayes. *THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE FEBRUARY 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. B.Public Hearing Variance Case #9402-05 Bruce Lisowski 3929 N.E. 2nd Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Lisowski for a variance of two (2) feet to the side yard requirement of two feet to allow him to erect a detached garage on the property line at the rear of his property. She explained that his lot abuts Edgemoor Park. Mr. Lisowski has PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1994 PAGE 2 submitted a request to the Park Board for the purchase of five feet of park property for review at their January 26, 1994 meeting. Ms. Nygaard informed the Commission that Mr. Lisowski had previously obtained a building permit to construct a garage. Once the slab was poured, he realized he would be unable to drive into the right parking stall as the garage was too far to the south behind his house making the turn too tight. She felt Mr. Lisowski's lot is odd-shaped and irregular and indicated that the rear elevation is higher than the front. Mr. Lisowski was present and indicated his intent is to purchase an additional five feet of the adjacent park property from the City to allow him to extend his garage farther north to allow him ample access. If the purchase is unable to be made, then he has the variance to extend up to the existing lot line. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Larson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the two foot variance request for 3929 N.E. 2nd Street due to the hardship of the shape and topography of the lot. Roll Call: All Ayes. *THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE FEBRUARY 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. C.Public Hearing Site Plan/Conditional Use Permit Case #9402-06 Torchwood Development Co. RE: 3939 Central A venue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Torchwood Development Company for site plan review and a Conditional Use Permit to allow them to demolish and rebuild the Burger King Restaurant at 3939 Central Avenue. She explained that they have indicated the current building is old and renovation would not be feasible. Ms. Nygaard indicated that the site plan shows the building located fifteen (15) feet from the front property line. She explained that the building would actually be twenty (20) feet from the front line to allow placement of a freestanding sign. She stated that the proposed development would require a minimum of forty (40) parking spaces with the site plan indicating provisions for forty-six (46) spaces. She felt adequate green space would be provided as reflected by the site plan. She did state that, because the development abuts residential property, they would be required to provide screening along the rear property line. She also pointed out that the northerly existing curb cut would be relocated to the north. Ms. Nygaard presented the report of the Fire Department indicating no concerns with the project and a report from the Engineering Department stating the following: 1.Approval for the driveway opening locations must be obtained from Mn/DOT. 2.The plan must be submitted to the Traffic Commission to review the proposed traffic pattern in relationship to Central Avenue. A representative of Burger King must attend the meeting. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1994 PAGE3 3.The driveway widths are approved. The City of Columbia Heights' standard driveway apron must be used. 4.A grading and drainage plan needs to be submitted for the site. 5.The proposed water service should connect directly to the stop box, not the existing service line. Owner to verify location, condition and size (adequacy) of services. 6.The note versus detail assumptions shown on Plan L-1 should be verified as correct. Dennis Trisler, representing Torchwood Development Company, was present. He stated that the proposed development would be reviewed by the Traffic Commission at their meeting of February 7, 1994. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Larson, to approve the site plan and to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit contingent upon the required screening being provided where the property abuts residential property, that the approval also be contingent upon implementation of the recommendations and requirements of the Engineering Department and Traffic Commission. Roll Call: All Ayes. *THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE FEBRUARY 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. STAFF REPORTS: A.Don Schneider presented the request of Ray Ellis of Rayco Construction for an informal review of preliminary drawings for his proposed remodel at 3801 N.E. 5th Street. The drawings reflect the addition of parking areas as requested by the Commission at the January Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Evelyn Nygaard stated that Plan A, indicating fifteen (15) spaces on the south end of the property, would not work as there is less than .adequate room to provide the required 9'x20' parking spaces on private property. What is shown on drawing A places the parking spaces mostly in the public right of way. She also stated that Plan B, indicating six parking spaces plus one handicap space in a bumper to bumper style along the south side of the building would not be workable as no access drive would be possible and yet install the required 9' x 20' par king spaces. She also stated that handicap spaces are required to be close to the accessible entrance. The proposed location on the corner and into the public right of way would be a hazardous location and unacceptable. She informed the Commission that the State Building Code requires that a walkway no less than 48 inches wide with a slope not to exceed one vertical to 20 horizontal be provided between the handicap parking area and the accessible entrance to the building. She also felt that, since any remodeling to an existing facility would require the building to be handicap accessible, another location close to the entrance would need to be provided. She stated that the entrance and an accessible route to the new portion of the building would be required to be handicapped accessible. Handicapped toilet facilities would also be required. The architect of record would PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1994 PAGE4 be responsible for detailing and providing these requirements on a formal site plan. She also felt a drainage design would need to be reviewed by the Engineering Department. Discussion was held regarding location of required parking on the site. The Commission felt adequate area for off-street parking could be provided along the west side of the building. They also felt the triangular area at the rear of the building that is used for storage and company truck parking should be hard surfaced as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Evelyn Nygaard referred to the recommendation of the Fire Department for the provision of a sprinkler system due to the size of the building and type of construction, and due to the size of the building a.nd type of hazardous materials stored inside. Chairp erson Szurek suggested Don Schneider contact Mr. Ellis and arrange a meeting to explain the concerns of the Commission and City Staff including the necessity for provision of off­ street parking and sprinkler system, clean-up of the exterfor yard area around the building, and the provision of hard surface area where outside storage and company vehicles will be located. B.Don Schneider presented a list of technical changes to the Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan prior to the discussion of the plan itself. He stated that approximately 90 people attended the public hearing held Monday, January 31, 1994 at Murzyn Hall. He felt there was an overwhelming concensus to clear the site. Council Representative Peterson indicated he favored Option #4 as it would return monies to the City to enable the City to purchase more deteriorated properties. He did not agree with the option to clear the lot at City expense and then practically give the lots away. He also felt that once the area was cleared, the lot sizes could be increased to accomodate a nice sized dwelling with a garage. Commissioner Larson expressed interest in Option #3 for the provision of townhomes in the area as he felt there could be a desire for that type of housing. Commissioner Szurek questioned Mr. Schneider if this was an initial phase. He responded that is was and that there were future plans for upgrading properties outside the target area. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend HRA Board a.nd City Council approval of the NEW "Sheffield Neighborhood Revitalization Plan" with this plan replacing the plan dated November 29, 1993. Roll Call: All Ayes. C.Discussion was held regarding a memo from the Special Projects Coordinator, Valerie Gifford, regarding televising Planning and Zoning Commission meetings on Channel 16 live or on tape. Commissioner Szurek felt that, as the Planning and Zoning Commission is a highly visible Commission, the meetings should be televised monthly. Council Representative Peterson reminded the Commissioners that this would require additional Staff to be able to provide this service. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING -MINUTES FEBRUARY 1, 1994 PAGES D.The March 1, 1994 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting will be held at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers to allow attendance at precinct caucuses. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Larsons, to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Roll Call: All Ayes. ;zz�� Kathryn Pepin Secretary to the Planning and Zoning Commission kp CITY COUNCIL LE'.l'TER Meeting of: February 14, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: Communications ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 7 Planning & Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Conditional Use Permit 7.A.t BY: Evelyn Nygaard� BY:� NO: Case #9402-06, 3939 Central Avenue DATE: February 4, 1994 Torchwood Development Company is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow them to demolish and rebuild the Burger King Restaurant at 3939 Central Avenue.

A, -i, I BY: Evelyn Nygaard � I BY: NO: Case #9402-04, 4300 Central Avenue DATE: February 4, 1994 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL Linders Greenhouses are requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a "mini garden center• on the easterly portion of the parking lot at 4300 Central Avenue from April 16 through June 26, 1994. They are asking for an additional one week before to set up and one week after closing the operation for removal. The operation will be the same as in the past four years. A letter had been received from the property owners, Kraus-Anderson Developments, allowing Linder Greenhouses to operate on their property. Some concerns of the Fire Department pertaining to Article 32 of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code regarding tents, canopies and temporary membrane structures was discussed. Mr. Linder indicated that the required number of fire extinguishers and exits would be provided. He also has provided the City with specific manufacturing specifications on the structure used. The Planning and Zoning Commission unan�mously recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit provided a $500 deposit is submitted to the City prior to the installation to ensure complete removal of the operation no later than July 1, 1994. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit request of Linder Greenhouses to allowthe operation of a "mini garden center" at 4300 Central Avenue from April 16-June 26, 1994 provided a $500 deposit is submitted to the City prior to the installation to ensure complete removal of the operation no later than July 1, 1994.

A. 3. I BY: Evelyn Nygaard� I BY NO: Case #9402-05, 3929 N.E. 2nd Street DATE: February 4, 1994 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL �- Mr. Lisowski of 3929 N.E. 2nd Street is requesting a variance of two (2) feet to the side yard requirement of two feet to allow him to erect a detached garage on the property line at the rear of his property due to the hardship of an irregularly shaped lot. Mr. Lisowski's lot abuts Edgemoor Park. Mr. Lisowski has submitted a request to the Park Board for the purchase of five feet of park property for review at their January 26, 1994 meeting. Mr. Lisowski had previously obtained a building permit to construct a garage. Once the slab was poured, he realized he would be unable to drive into the right parking stall as the garage was too far to the south behind his house making the tum too tight. Mr. Lisowski's lot is odd-shaped and irregular and the rear elevation is higher than the front. Mr. Lisowski indicated his intent is to pursue the purchase of an additional five feet of the adjacent park property from the City to allow him to extend his garage farther north to allow him ample access if possible. If the purchase is unable to be made, then he has the variance to extend up to the existing lot line. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend to the City Council the approval of the two foot variance request for 3929 N.E. 2nd Street due to the hardship of the shape and topography of the lot. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the request for a two foot variance to allow the extension of the proposed garage at 3929 N.E. 2nd Street up to the side property line.

Roll Call: All ayes. III.OLD BUSINESS A.TRUCK TURNAROUND AT EDGEMOOR PLACE AND 3RD STREET The City Manager has requested that this item be again considered by the Traffic Commission for further discussion and direction. As previously presented by Mr. William Franz, the issue is that trucks are using 3rd Street north of 38th Avenue to access approximately three commercial businesses in the 3800 block of 3rd Street and then proceeding north through the residential district to 40th A venue. Commissioner Carlson indicated that he had talked with residents on 3rd St. and they are not in favor of making 3rd Street a State Aid street. Commissioner Goodman didn't see any reason why trucks could not make their deliveries and exit the same direction they came in. Before considering any other solutions, staff is recommending that signage be installed on 3rd Street and 38th Avenue that would read "trucks must return south". Businesses would be contacted to request that trucks servicing their businesses return to the truck route. The Police Department would be asked to step up enforcement for a short period of time. Motion by Goodman, seconded by Duda, to direct staff to contact the business owners on 3rd Street by letter to elicit their cooperation in using the truck route and keep Mr. Franz informed. Roll Call: All ayes. Motion carried. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission February 7, 1994 Page 2 I B.CROSSWALK -MADISON STREET AND 40TII A VENUE Mr. and Mrs. Eshleman of 4126 Madison St. N.E. have found the solutions suggested at the January meeting not workable and asked that the Traffic Commission reconsider the crosswalk on the west side of Madison Street at 40th Avenue. The Eshlemans were present at the meeting and again asked that a marked pedestrian crosswalk be painted on the west side of the intersection of 40th Ave. and Madison St. Traffic on 40th Ave. does not want to slow down and allow people with disabilities or handicaps to cross traffic lanes. Chief Mawhorter stated that pedestrians do have the right of way in crossing the street and Mrs. Eshelman could cross on the west side of 40th Avenue at Madison Street Motion by Duda, seconded by Goodman, to deny the request to paint a crosswalk on the west side of Madison Street at 40th A venue.

Those members present had no objection to live or taped meetings but if it would be necessary to change the Traffic Commission's meeting location, it wouldn't be necessary to go to the Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission February 7, 1994 Page 3 effort of moving any equipment to an alternate location in order to tape the meeting. It was also suggested that presently the cable productions are not the quality they should be and hoped they would look at that when offering more meetings on cable.

VI.OTHER NEW BUSINESS A.REQUEST FOR STOP SIGN ON 43RD A VENUE AND QUINCY STREET Ms. Lesli Edstrom has requested a stop sign be installed at the intersection of 43rd Avenue and Quincy Street.

Staff reported that this intersection does not meet the warrants for installation of stop signs. There have been 3 reported accidents at this intersection since 1982. The most recent traffic counts available for the intersection were taken in 1986.The traffic on 43rd A venue was about twice that of a typical residential street.Traffic counts taken on 43rd Avenue east of Quincy Street in 1990 showed the traffic volume had increased by about 30%. It was suggested that there be a more recent traffic count taken. However, as two members were absent, motion by Goodman, seconded by Duda, to table this issueuntil the next meeting. Roll Call: All ayes.

MAGEE B� FUNDING 7.D.DATE: 2-9-94 NO: Attached is a draft letter to the Anoka County Commissioners requesting additional funding for the unfunded portion of the 1993 Shared ride Program. Under the formula proposed by Commissioner Kordiak in his letter of December 1, 1993, the City of Columbia Heights would only receive $9,932.89 toward the 1993 unfunded amount, leaving a balance of $8,311.94 unfunded. Thus, staff recommends submitting a request for the entire unfunded amount, that being $18,244.83. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to send a letter to the Anoka County Commissioners requesting reimbursement of the unfunded portion of the 1993 Shared Ride Program.

Murzyn, Jr. Mayor, City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421-3878 Dear Mayor Murzyn: Office of du County Board of Commiaionea GOVERNMENT CENTER 2100 3rd Avenue · Anoka, Minnesota 55303-2489 (612)323-5680 December 1, 1993 This letter is in response to your memo of November 23, 1993, requesting additional funding to cover the anticipated 1993 cost overruns associated with the Shared Ride transportation program as well as funding for the same program in 1994. At this time, I am prepared to recommend to my fellow County Commissioners that we assist the City of Columbia Heights with the 1993 overruns according to the formula outlined to your City Manager, Patrick Hentges, In a memo dated August 31, 1993. In this formula, Anoka County would pay two-thirds of the cost overrun amount less the 1992 carryover amount ($6,691) not to exceed $13,538 and would be payable at the conclusion of the 1993 accounting year upon submittal of an expense schedule from the City of Columbia Heights. I would also recommend that Anoka County provide local dollars to the Shared Ride program for 1994 according to the formula suggested by Mr. Hentges at the City Council work session held on August 14, 1993. This formula would allocate administrative dollars on a per capita basis and is also outlined in detail in the memo referenced above. Since this funding is based on actual administrative dollars spent by Anoka County, It would be payable after the 1994 budget year is closed. The 1994 administrative budget would allow for a maximum payout of $7,230. If you have any questions or need further Information, please contact me or Margo LaBau, Supervisor of Management Operations, at 754-3520. She will be preparing the resolutions outlining the reimbursement fonnula for presentation to the County Board. zMf� Jim Kordiak Anoka County Commissioner JK:si cc: Anoka County Commissioners Margo LaBau, Supervisor of Management Operations Tim Kirchoff, Transportation Specialist FAX: 323-5682 Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer TDD/TTY: 323-5289 ....

The expenses and revenues for the 1993 Shared Ride Program are reflected below: Total Expenses Fares and Revenues RTB Funding County Funding Total Unfunded $170,104.33 $170,104.33 $18,244.83 $ 28,855.50 $ 83,000.00 $ 40,004.00* $151,859.50 *includes $6,691 remaining from 1992 funding received from the County. Your December 1, 1993, letter to then Mayor Don Murzyn Jr. indicates you would be prepared to recommend to your fellow County Comm.issioners that the county assist the City of Columbia Heights on the basis of two thirds of the cost overrun for 1993, less the 1992 carryover amount ($6,691) not to exceed $13,538. This amount, you indicate, would be payable at the conclusion of the 1993 accounting year upon submittal of an expense schedule from the City of Columbia Heights. Under the formula stated above, Columbia Heights would receive an additional $9,932.89 toward the unfunded portion ($24,935.83 x 2/3 = $16,623.89 -$6,691 = $9,932.89). While this would help offset the unfunded portion, it would still leave the City of Columbia Heights with $8,311.94 unfunded. We hereby request additional funding from Anoka County for the 1993 Shared Ride Program in the amount of $18,244.83. Your favorable consideration to the above request is appreciated. If you have any questions or need further information, please let us know. or contact Linda Magee, Assistant to the City Manager at 782-2812, as she administers the Shared Ride Program. 94/11 PH/sh Sincerely, Patrick Hentges City Manager cc: Mayor and City Council Linda Magee, Assistant to the City Manager Margo LaBau, Anoka County Tim Kirchoff, Anoka County "SERVICE IS OUR BUSINESS" EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of February 14, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: OLD BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 8 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL ITEM: RESCHEDULE DATE FOR PUBLIC BY: PATRICK HENTGES B� NO: IMPROVEMENT HEARING i •f\ .

HENTGES . DATE: 2-9-94 CITY MGR APPROVAL The Housing and Redevelopment Authority has reviewed the two tax-forfeited parcels in question. The HRA Board of Commissioners recommends to the City Council that the City should pursue acquiring the property only if the City can acquire it at no cost. Based upon the amount of back taxes attributed to the office building, I doubt that the County will establish a minimum value for that property. With regard to the empty lot, staff did indicate the suspected soil problems with the parcel and Engineering has identified the need for a five foot road easement. That information has been included in the classification report. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to forward the classification report to Anoka County and forward HRA request to acquire property at 4150 Central Avenue and 1218 43rd Avenue N.E. at no cost.

Wmson DATE: 2/8/94 DATE: A request for proposal to perfonn a study and prepare a report on the feasibility of Columbia Heights developing its own water system was sent to several area consulting firms. Seven proposals were received and reviewed by staff. Attached is a copy of the staff's evaluation. Staff is recommending that a study of this issue be done due to the escalation of prices for water from Minneapolis and the termination of the current water purchase contract with Minneapolis which occurs at the end of 1994. It is anticipated, based on the negotiations between Minneapolis and Bloomington, that any new contract will include a sizeable increase. All the firms provided excellent proposals indicating an understanding of the City's water needs and past experience in the area of these type of studies. Staff is recommending the firm of MSA Consulting Engineering based on their experience in this type of study, their knowledge of the water systems in adjacent cities, and their not-to-exceed fee of $12,500. Funds were not budgeted for this study. Staff is recommending that funds necessary to cover the cost of this study be transferred from undesignated funds in the Water Fund to line item 601-49430-3050. This will require four votes. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appropriate $12,500 from retained earnings in the Water Fund to line item 601-49430-3050 and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with MSA Consulting Engineers for preparation of a Water Supply Study (Project #9234) for a not-to-exceed amount of $12,500.

Wmson , DATE: 2/8/94 Meeting of: 2/14/94 CITY MANAGER BY:� DATE: The City Council previously authorized staff to seek bids for the LaBelle Pond Restoration Project including certain site improvement and sediment removal. Bid packages went out to 12 firms. No bids were received for the February 1, 1994, bid opening. Several contractors indicated that they did not bid due to the requirement that the sediment be removed by hydraulic methods as stipulated by the DNR. The City's consultant, HNTB, has been able to determine that the hydraulic removal would have cost in the range of $50,000/acre. Mechanical removal would be approximately half that amount. The DNR has indicated that due to the financial hardship, they would allow mechanical removal under the pennit. Unfortunately, it is now too late in the season to bid out mechanical improvement. Staff is recommending that new bids be requested to do the site improvements (installation of erosion/sediment control structures, sump manhole) at this time and that the sediment removal be bid out next fall for winter completion. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek bids for site improvements at LaBelle Pond, Project #9312. MAW:jb 94-089 COUNCIL ACTION: / CITY COUNCIL LETTER AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS NO.: 9 ITEM: PUBLIC OFFICIALS ERRORS AND ���SSIONS INSURANCE COVERAGE q ' J 1 MEETING OF: FEBRUARY 14, 1994 ORIGINATING DEPT.: FINANCE BY: WILLIAM,J�LRITEWttvJ--DATE: FEBRUARY 9, 1994 Attached is the Finance Director's Council Letter of April 19, 1993 regarding the renewal of the City's insurance policies for the period of May 9, 1993 through May 9, 1994. In this council letter the City Council was given the option of electing to have Public Officials Errors and Omissions insurance in addition to the standard liability and property coverage. Because of the probability of loss in comparison to the premium it was the Council's decision not to carry Public Officials Errors and Omissions coverage. Tilis coverage is self-insured through the City's insurance trust fund along with automobile physical damage and other areas of insurance excluded or not covered under the City's general policies. I have reviewed the addition of Public Officials Errors and Omissions coverage with the City's insurance agent. To get this coverage at this time it would be necessary for the City to fill out an application for insurance. Tilis application would be submitted to the various insurance companies offering Public Officials Error and Omissions coverage for quotes. It is anticipated that this process would take a minimum of 30 days and likely would take longer. It is anticipated that the premium for this coverage would be approximately $12,000 annually. If the City wants to carry this coverage, our insurance agent recommends that we include it with our insurance package for the May 9th renewal. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek quotes for Public Officials Errors and Omissions coverage for inclusion with the May 9, 1993 insurance renewal. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to complete applications for Public Officials Error and Omissions coverage and authorize the City Manager to enter into a agreement for this coverage as soon as possible. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to table this item for review at a future City Council work session. WJE:jlg 9402091 Attachments: April 19, 1993 Council letter April 21, 1993 Memo from City Finance Director COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LEITER MEETING OF: APRIL 26., 1993 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 9 FINANCE APPROVAL ITEM: INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM BY: WIL� El.RITE BY: NO: 5/9/93-5/9/94 w DATE: RIL 19, 1993 At the City Council meeting of February 22, 1993, the City Council authorized staff to seek formal quotations for the renewal of the City's property insurance, general liability, and liquor liability coverages. The Request for Insurance Quotations was mailed to 18 insurance agencies. It was also requested that Staff provide information to the Council regarding the financial and other implications of returning to self-insurance for liability insurance coverage. Due to the current lower premiums and higher coverage limits for conventional insurance, it is clearly the opinion of the Finance Director that self-insurance is not a viable alternative at this time. Attached is a memo giving more information on insurance claim expenses for past years. Previously when the City elected to go self-insured, premiums were significantly higher and the amount of coverage provided by conventional insurance was significantly lower. In addition to this, the City does not have staff to administer a self-insurance program. The most significant problem while the City was self -insured was claims adjustments and handling. Attached herewith is a summary showing the two quotes received for insurance coverage for the period 5/9/93 through 5/9/94. The quotes were reviewed by the Insurance Commission at their meeting on April 22, 1993, and it was their unanimous recommendation to accept the proposal from American Agency, with coverage through USF & G and other companies. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with American Agency for insurance coverage for 1993/1994 as quoted in their proposal with USF & G, Western World, International, and St. Paul Insurance and other companies. Th_e coverage will be the same as the City had in 1992/1993 at a cost of $148,437. This coverage does not include Public Official E & 0 or Automobile Physical Damage. ALTERNATE RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract with American Agency for insurance coverage for 1993/1994 as quoted in their proposal with USF & G, Western World, International, and St. Paul Insurance and other companies.

At that time, they also requested that staff provide information to the City Council regarding the City's claim experience, i.e. a comparison of self­ insurance versus the bids received. The following is a list of insurance expenses and claim reserves for the various policy years. At this time, the total amount listed below has not been paid out. Some of the amounts included are reserves that the insurance company has set up in anticipation of what the actual expense may be. Policy Period 1992/93 1991/92 1990/91 1989/90 Four-year average Claims Paid/Reserves $26,754.00 $94,919.00 $7,486.00 $68,871.27 $49,507.57 From the above schedule, the amount the insurance company has paid out or set aside in reserves for claims averages $49,507.57 per year. ·The worst year the City had for insurance claims paid out was 1985/86, when they totalled nearly $400,000.00. As of the writing of this memo, quotes have not been received for the policy year 1993/94. However, it is anticipated that they will be very comparable to the quotes for 1992/93. Pat Hentges April 21, 1993 Page Two The following is a breakdown of the insurance costs for 1992/93: Type of coverage Package policy (liability & property coverage) Auto liability Liquor liability Police professional Fire emergency assistance Total Premium $ 67,110.00 $ 41,006.00 $12,950.00 $ 11,945.00 $ 853.00 $133,864.00 The above premiums and coverages do not cover all City liability exposures. For several years the City has self-insured automobile comprehensive and collision coverages. In addition, the City self-insures for errors and omissions/professional liability coverage. The probability of loss in these areas is somewhat lower in comparison to what the annual premiums would be if carrying conventional insurance. It is clearly advantageous for the City to carry conventional insurance rather than self-insuring. Premiums are low in comparison to the amount of coverage. In 1986, when the City decided to self-insure, premiums for similar coverage were approximately $240,000 and the amount of coverage under that policy was significantly less. At that time, based on the premiums and coverage available, it was beneficial for the City to self-insure. H' insurance premiums increase in the future and/or limits of coverage are reduced, then the City should again consider self­ insuring; however, at the present time it does not appear to be in the best interest of the City to do so.

I am attempting to schedule a briefing on the upcoming legislative session to be conducted that morning with Representative Simoneau and Senator Novak. In any event, I need to know if you wish to have incumbent or reappointment candidates interviewed along with applicants for the vacancies. 2)MARCH WORK SESSION SCHEDULE I ask that work sessions be established for Monday, March 21, at 8 P.M. and Tuesday, March 29, at 7 P.M. I believe there is a conflict with scheduling Monday, March 7, 8 P.M. meeting, but if that is not the case, I request that also be scheduled. It would be beneficial to have one or two additional dates scheduled in March. 3)FINES AND FEE INCOME Attached please find a schedule of fine revenue for the City of Columbia Heights for 1993. The fines are $89,242.42 for 1993 compared to $94,468.03 for 1992. 4)LEGAL SERVICES PROPOSALS Attached please find a final proposal for legal services and a list of current law firms who have requested or received a copy. Essentially, I've advertised the Request for Proposals in the Focus and sent copies to those attorneys listed in the Columbia Heights phone book, or who have contacted my office as of this date. 5)SKATING PARTY APPRECIATION DINNER ATTENDANCE Attached please find a memorandum from the Recreation Department regarding attendance at the second annual Skating Party and third annual Recreation Department Appreciation Dinner. Essentially, about 300 people enjoyed the skating party and approximately 150 people attended the appreciation dinner. 6 )BONDED DEBT CHARTER CHANGE Attached please find a final draft to be presented to the Charter Commission on procedures concerning the issuance of bonded debt. I'd appreciate any comments or questions you have on the proposal. 7)FIRE P.E.R.A. CONSOLIDATION I am pleased to announce that the consolidation of the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association with P.E.R.A. and the transfer of assets is complete. I have also received some information which I will be forwarding under a separate memo concerning the consolidation of the Police Relief Association. This will be scheduled as an item for discussion at a future work session. 8)REFUSE RA TES UNDER NEW CONTRACT /COUNTY ASSESSMENT Be advised that I will present under separate memo a follow up to our previous conversations regarding refuse rates under the contract changes and the county-wide solid waste assessment. 9)POLICE STAFFING GRANTS Be advised that we have not been awarded either our grant application to the federal government for two supplemental police officers, nor were we awarded our grant to the state for one additional police civilian Crime Prevention position. The Chief and the Mayor have discussed various alternatives for funding an additional police officer. The Police Chief is preparing a report on various alternatives for the Mayor, and this item will be presented at a future work session. 10)COUNTY WIDE PRISONER TRANSPORT PROGRAM Be advised that the joint law enforcement council has set up a special committee to study the county-wide prisoner transport program. Enclosed please find information concerning various alternatives that have been discussed including setting up a full-time county program vs. exploring alternatives that could use police reserves, CSOs, or part-time licensed officers to transport prisoners or for detox runs. Apparently, cities in Ramsey County regularly use this alternative. 11)ITEM FOR REPORT I recently received a supplement to the CORE Report that Councilmember Nawrocki distributed at a previous city council meeting. I will obtain additional copies or copy the lengthy report for the benefit of the council. As councilmember Nawrocki emphasized, the concepts identified in the report could play a major role in establishing funding levels for local government aid. 12)STAUCH HOUSING VIOLATION CONVICTIONS Attached please find court documentation regarding the sentencings of Leland and Audrey Stauch on housing licensing violations. Please note that defendants are appealing the matter. 13)ANNUAL REPORTS Be advised that the 1993 Annual Report will be filed at the next council meeting. A schedule for distribution reports is essentially the same as last year. 14)JUDICARE LAWSUIT Be advised that the scheduled hearing for February 11, 1994, concerning some of the judgments on the JUDICARE lawsuit have been rescheduled for the end of March. Again, our attorneys are attempting to resolve this matter with JUDICARE. It is my understanding that their attorney ,is attempting to find the tenants to discuss their willingness to accept those changes in the housing enforcement process. 15)3911 TYLER STREET, HOUSING COMPLAINT Be advised that David Nelson was required to complete the wooden steps and deck and the parking pad prior to winter. The balance of the items were delayed until spring. The Building Department has signed off the steps, although they minimally met code and they certainly weren't constructed to a professional workmanship's standard. It appears that only half the driveway was topically dressed prior to snow setting in after last meeting when Mr. Nelson appeared before the council. City staff recommends Mr. Nelson be notified of a revocation hearing for April 11, 1994, at which time all of the items would have to be complete. 16)MWCC PURCHASE OF INTERCEPTOR LINE Enclosed please find information from the Public Works Director regarding MWCC proposal to purchase the north interceptor line. Mr. Winson has verified that the formula for arriving at costs is consistent with state law that facilitates the purchase and is also a logical to present worth formula. I have asked that MWCC present further assurances in writing along with an indication that MWCC has not used other formu1as or variations in the purchase of the local facilities. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPAR1MENT TO: Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Chief David Mawhorter Operational Report, January, 1994 February 10, 1994 SUBJECT: DATE: I.Events/ Accomplishments A.In January, 1994, the Department responded to a total of 1,606 calls for service; there were 246 Part I and Part II crimes; and 1,316 noncriminal calls for service, including 382 two-man assist calls. In comparing January of 1994 to January of 1993, Part I crime is down 6 per cent, Part Il is down 9 per cent, and noncriminal calls for service­ -excluding two-man assists--are down 10 per cent. The reason two-man assists are not included in this report is that we had just begun to record two-man assists in January of 1993 and the total recorded in January of 1993 is not a true account of the actual number of two-man assists that occurred that month, whereas the number for 1994 is a true account. There were 103 reports of Part I and Part II crime that were cleared, which amounts to 42.6 per cent clearance rate for January, 1994. There were 68 adults arrested and 24 juveniles, compared to 67 adults and 20 juveniles in 1993. B.Since January 1 to February 2, 1994, we have had 57 transports for persons either arrested or taken to detox and juvenile placements. This amounted to 63.5 hours of patrol time. This issue continues to be a problem for the patrol, and I am working with Anoka County and the Joint Law Enforcement Council in trying to come up with alternative strategies to ease some of the prisoner transport issues within Columbia Heights and will keep you informed on our progress as we go along. C.Attached is the monthly report of activity for the Police Department for your review. IT. Projects/Goals No report. Ill. Issues/Problems A.At the request of the Council, we are continuing to check Mr. Randy Zieman' s driving record, with no reported violations for this time period.

City staff prepares the majority of the work papers for the audit and other supporting documentation. The auditors then review this information and when the review is complete, City staff prepares the annual financial report. The auditors will review the report in conjunction with the work papers and issue a final audit opinion. ISSUES AND PROBLEMS: WORKER'S COMP INJURY June Johnston has been out of the Department on a worker's comp injury (carpal tunnel) since January 15th. She had surgery on one wrist on January 17th and is recovering well. It is anticipated that it will be approximately six weeks or longer before she returns in a full capacity. This injury, combined with the heavy workload due to the annual audit, is putting us significantly behind in some areas of work.

Mawhorter, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Prisoner Transport Vehicle DATE: January 27, 1994 . . ),I ) r-II , ,,,/· Last night I met with the Joint Law Enforcement Council and made a proposal regarding the institution of a prisoner transport vehicle for Anoka County. It is my feeling that there was unanimous support for this vehicle by the members of the Joint Law Enforcement Council. I presented our statistical information and Sheriff Wilkenson passed out a chart of the number of bookings by hour of day and day of week for each of the departments throughout the county. A copy of what he gave us is attached. I also discussed the State Board of Innovation grants and mentioned that there were two funding pools, the service sharing grants and the innovation grants, available. There will be a funding cycle sometime in the spring. As a result of the discussion, the issue was referred to the projects committee for consider­ ation and development. I requested I be a part of this and that request was granted. We will be working on this concept in the near future. I have also made several contacts throughout the metropolitan area with the police chiefs, making inquiry about how they resolve issues of prisoner transport in their respective counties. As of this time, I have been unable to make contact with anyone from Hennepin County. However, I will continue. I have made contact with White Bear Lake, North St. Paul, Maplewood, Roseville, and New Brighton, all of which are in Ramsey County, regarding their prisoner transport. They've all advised me that they have their reserve officers do the transports, and most also transport detox placements for their respective cities. They all provide some kind of training to the reserve officers regarding transports. They all seem to provide a standard police car to do the transportation duties. There are a couple policies regarding this issue, one at White Bear Lake and possibly one at New Brighton. I am getting a copy of the White Bear Lake policy today and I will forward that when I get it. It would be my recommendation that we pursue the possible funding of a transport vehicle for the county through the innovation grants and that we further explore other cost sharing alternatives for the county. Also, it would be my recommendation that we initiate a police Patrick Hentges, City Manager Page 2 January 27, 1994 reserve officer transportation policy and that we develop the appropriate training for the reserve officers; and once that is completed, that we begin to schedule our reserve officers at those times when prisoner transports are at their peak and have them aid us in that effort. I think that will greatly reduce the number of times our officers are out of town while we work on this prisoner transport concept with the Joint Law Enforcement Council. If you have any further need for information regarding this, please feel free to contact me.

Mawhorter, Chief of Police Countywide Transport Service February 9, 1994 There was a meeting yesterday of the special projects committee of the Joint Law Enforcement Council to begin discussions and make recommendations to the JLEC regarding the feasibility of establishing a countywide transport unit. Sheriff Wilkenson provided infonnation to the members present, outlining the total bookings of prisoners in the Anoka County Jail from May, 1993 through November 30, 1993. A copy of that is attached. Sheriff Wilkenson presented the members with a cost breakdown of a special transport vehicle that would be manned by two deputies on a year-around basis. Also included were the costs of a new vehicle plus maintenance and mileage. The total estimated cost of this project would be $100,899. The committee discussed various options for implementation of this proposal, including brief discussions on how this $100,000 could be raised. It was suggested that the different cities in the county could chip in an equal share to support the transport vehicle. It was also discussed that perhaps a pilot project should be started first to evaluate the effectiveness of a transport vehicle and also the possibility of obtaining a grant from the State Board of Innovation. Chief VanBurkleo and I were assigned the responsibility of looking further into this grant and even, perhaps, writing the grant if necessary. Sheriff Wilkenson is going to further research the possibility of some type of demonstration project and the cost of that. The next meeting of the special projects committee was set for March 3, 1994, at 3:00 P .M. in the Sheriffs conference room. DPM:mld 94-046 Attachment m INTER-OFFICE l\fEI\fORANDUM MEMO TO: Chief Deputy Hoogestraat FROM: Sergeant Netkow H� SUBJECT: County-Wide Transport Service Cost Estimate DATE: February 1, 1994 The following is an estimate of costs to implement a county-wide transport service. This is based on the use of two deputies to provide eight hours of service seven days a week, and the purchase of a purpose-built van similar to the one currently being used by the jail. Personnel & Benefits Two Deputies at $26,247/year Overtime (Average of 7 hours/month per deputy) Administration PERA(ll.4%) Medicare (1.45%) Health Insurance Life Insurance Unemployment (.27%) Worker's Comp Long Term Disability Subtotal Minus Police State Aid (1993 Rate) Minus POST Training Reimbursement (1993 Rate) Total Personnel/Benefits $52,494 3,180 5,249 6,347 761 6,218 40 142 534 284 $75,249 -10,332 -670 $64,247 Memo to: Chief Deputy Hoogestraat February 1, 1994 Page Two Vehicle Costs Transport Van Transport from Manufacturer Title Fee Insurance Gas/Oil, R&M at approximately 100 miles per day· x 365 days = 36,500 miles x $.18 per mile Total Personnel/Benefits Vehicle $29,126 500 6 450 6,570 $36,652 $64,247 36,652 $100,899 Please note that base wage figure is for an entry-level deputy according to the 1993-94 bargaining agreement. The overtime and administration ca1culations are the same as are used in costing the law enforcement contracts. Benefit costs for PERA, Medicare, Unemployment, and Worker's Compensation are percentages of the wages. (As of 1/1/94, the employer's PERA contribution for sworn officers was reduced from 12% to 11.4%.) The source for benefit costs is the 1994 Budget Detailed Salary Schedule dated January 6, 1994. The figures for Police State Aid and the POST Training Reimbursement are based on what was received per officer in 1993. The cost of the vehicle is based on what we paid for the 1993 Transport Vehicle (Unit 318) plus 5%. I did not include sales tax on the price on the assumption that this will be a marked vehicle. The estimated mileage is only an estimate, since we have no track record for offering this type of service. Other costs might include four additional holidays per deputy (11 of the 15 are included in the 2,080 hours on which the wages are ca1culated), and shift differential. Adding these two in would add approximately $1,847 to the total. They were not included at this point because the number of people needed to provide 8 hours of service every day of the year is about 1.67 rather than the two used in computing the service cost.

I have checked with Don Bluhm of MWCC regarding this subject. Mr. Bluhm explained that the calculations used in the determination of the present worth of this line are as mandated by the legislation creating the MWCC. This is also the same procedure that has been used by the MWCC when purchasing other facilities. In my experience, the procedure used appears to be reasonable. As previously discussed the 4% interest rate proposed by MWCC is also required by the legislation under which they operate. I have attached a copy of the present worth estimate as prepared by MWCC, the only change being that currently the MWCC proposal is for the payments to be made over 15 years resulting in an annual payment of $29,717.77 instead of the figure shown in the estimate.

Except in case of property in actual public use, the commission may take pos­ session of any property for which condemnation proceedings have been commenced at any time after the issuance of a court order appointing commissioners for its con­ demnation. Subd. 10. The commission may construct or maintain its systems or facilities in, along, on, under, over, or through public streets, bridges, viaducts, and other public rights of way without first obtaining a franchise from any local government unit having jurisdiction over them; but such facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accor­ dance with the ordinances and resolutions of any such government unit relating to con­ struction, installation, and maintenance of similar facilities in such public properties and shall not obstruct the public use of such rights of way. Subd. 11. The commission may sell or otherwise dispose of any real or personal property acquired by it which is no longer required for accomplishment of its purposes. Such property may be sold in the manner provided by section 469.065, insofar as prac­ tical. The commission may give such notice of sale as it shall deem appropriate. When the commission determines that any property or any interceptor or treatment works or any part thereof which has been acquired from a local government unit without com­ pensation is no longer required, but is required as a local facility by the government unit from which it was acquired, the commission may by resolution transfer it to such government unit. Subd. 12. The commission may contract with the United States or any agency thereof, any state or agency thereof, or any local government unit or governmental agency or subdivision, for the joint use of any facility owned by the commission or such entity, for the operation by such entity of any system or facility of the commission, or for the performance on the commission's behalf of any service, on such terms as may be agreed upon by the contracting parties.

At any time after January 1, 1970, the waste control commission shall assume owner­ ship of all existing interceptors and treatment works which will be needed to implement the council's comprehensive plan for the collection, treatment, and disposal of sewage in the metropolitan area, in the manner and subject to the conditions prescribed in sub­ divisions 2 and 4, and shall thereafter acquire, construct, equip, operate and maintain all additional interceptors and treatment works which will be needed for such purpose. The commission shall assume ownership of all treatment works owned by a local gov­ ernment unit if any part of such treatment works will be needed for such purpose. Subd. 2. Method of acquisition; existing debt. The commission, with the approval of the council, may require any local government unit to transfer to the commission, all of its right, title and interest in any interceptors or treatment works and all necessary appurtenances thereto owned by such local government unit which will be needed for the purpose stated in subdivision 1. Appropriate instruments of conveyance for all such property shall be executed and delivered to the commission by the proper officers of each local government unit concerned. All persons regularly employed by a local gov­ ernment unit to operate and maintain any treatment works so transferred to the com­ mission, on the date on which the transfer becomes effective, shall be employees of the commission, in the same manner and with the same options and rights as are reserved to employees of sanitary districts and joint boards under subdivision 3. The commis­ sion, upon assuming ownership of any such interceptors or treatment works, shall become obligated to pay to such local government unit amounts sufficient to pay when due all remaining principal of and interest on bonds issued by such local government unit for the acquisition or betterment of the interceptors or treatment works taken over. Such amounts may be offset against any amount to be paid to the commission by the local government unit as provided in section 473.517. Subd. 3. Existing sanitary districts and joint sewer boards.

All persons regularly employed by such sanitary districts and joint boards on that date or on any earlier date on which the waste control commission pursuant to subdivisions 1 and 2 assumes own­ership and control of any interceptors or treatment works owned or operated by such sanitary districts and joint boards, shall be employees of the commission, and may at their option become members of the Minnesota state retirement system or may con­tinue as members of a public retirement association under chapter 422A or any other law, to which they belonged before such date, and shall retain all pension rights which they may have under such latter laws, and all other rights to which they are entitled by contract or law. Members of trades who are employed by the metropolitan waste con­trol commission, who have trade union pension coverage pursuant to a collective bar­gaining agreement, and who elected exclusion from coverage pursuant to section 473.512, or who are first employed after July I, 1977, shall not be covered by the Min­nesota state retirement system. The waste control commission shall make the employ­er's contributions to pension funds of its employees. Such employees shall perform such duties as may be prescribed by the commission. All funds of such sanitary districts and joint boards then on hand, and all subsequent collections of taxes, special assessments or service charges levied or imposed by or for such sanitary districts or joint boards shall be transferred to the waste control commission. The local government units other­wise entitled to such cash, taxes, assessments or service charges shall be credited with such amounts, and such credits shall be offset against any amounts to be paid by them to the waste control commission as provided in section 473.517. The waste control commission shall succeed to and become vested with all right, title and interest in and to any property, real or personal, owned or operated by such sanitary districts and joint boards; and prior to that date the proper officers of such sanitary districts and joint boards shall execute and deliver to the board all deeds, conveyances, bills of sale, and other documents or instruments required to vest in the commission good and market­able title to all such real or personal property. The waste control commission shall become obligated to pay or assume all bonded or other debt and contract obligations incurred by such sanitary districts and joint boards, or incurred by local government units for the acquisition or bettennent of any interceptors or treatment works owned or operated by such sanitary districts or joint boards. Subd. 4. Current value of existing facilities. When the commission assumes the ownership of any existing interceptors or treatment works as provided in subdivision 2 or 3, the local government unit or units which paid part or all of the cost of such facil­ity, directly or pursuant to contracts for reimbursement of costs, shall be entitled to receive a credit against amounts to be allocated to them under section 4 7 3. 517, which may be spread over such period not exceeding 30 years as the commission shall deter­mine, and an additional credit equal to interest on the unused credit balance from time to time at the rate of four percent per annum. The amount of such credit shall equal the current value of the facility computed by the commission in the manner provided in this subdivision at the time the commission acquires it. The original cost of a facility shall be computed as the total actual costs of constructing it, including engineering, legal, and administrative costs, less any part of it paid from federal or state funds and less the principal amount of any then outstanding bonds which were issued to finance its construction. The original cost shaJJ be multiplied by a factor equal to a current cost index divided by the same cost index at the time of construction, to determine replace­ment cost. The cost indices used shall be the Engineering News Record Constroction Cost Indices for facilities or parts thereof completed before 19 30, and the United States Public Health Service Federal Water Pollution Control Values for Sewer and Treat­ment Plant Construction, as applied to facilities or parts thereof completed in or after 1930. The current value of the facility shall be the replacement cost depreciated by 2. 50 percent per annum from the date of construction of treatment works and 1.25 percent per annum from the date of construction of interceptors; and decreased funher by a 473.511 METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT 1300 reasonable allowance for obsolescence if the board determines that the facility or any part thereof will not be useful for board purposes for at least the remaining period required to depreciate it fully, assuming no salvage value. The current value of each such facility shall be credited to each local government unit in proportion to the amount of the construction cost paid by that unit, as determined by the commission, taking into account reimbursements previously made under contracts between any of the local gov­ernment units. The commission shall prepare an itemized statement of the amount of credit each local government unit is entitled to receive under this subdivision, and the years and amounts of installments of principal and interest thereon, and shall cause it to be mailed or delivered to the governing body of each local government unit con­cerned. All credits allowed under this subdivision shall be used to .finance current costs allocated to the local government unit by the commission or for other sewer costs, and the credits shall not be considered as proceeds from the sale of municipal property so as to permit their use for other purposes. Subd. 5. Contracts between local government units. On January l, 1971, or on such earlier date or dates as the council shall by resolution determine, all contracts between or among local government units requiring payments by a local government unit to any other local government unit, for the use of a disposal system, or as reimbursement of capital costs of a disposal system, are terminated.

RADAJEWSKI/CAB LICENSE Attached is information on Mr. Radajewski and background information regarding his application for a cab license. Mr. Radajewski may appear during open mike at tonight's meeting and ask for reconsideration of this issue. The license was denied by the City Council on December 27, 1993. cb Attachments COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: Patrick Hentges, City Manager FROM: Sergeant Robert Jendro � SUBJECT: CHESTER PAUL RADAJEWSKI DATE: February 14, 1994 Attached is the information that was obtained at the time Chester Paul Radajewski applied for a cab license. A print-out was made of Mr. Radajewski's Minnesota driver's license record. His driver's license was found to be valid. He was found to be clear of warrants in Anoka, Hennepin, and Ramsey Counties. He has no jail record in Anoka County or Ramsey County. When checking with Hennepin County Jail Records, it was found that Mr. Radajewski had been arrested and booked at the Hennepin County Jail on the following dates: 10-20-85 for Traffic Warrants, 12-01-86 for Angling Without a License, 05-18-88 for 5th Degree Assault Warrant and 5 Warrants for Dog Violations. A call was then placed to the Hennepin County Courthouse to see if any of these arrests resulted in convictions. Mr. Radajewski's 1988 Assault arrest never went to court; however, the court had additional information about an arrest on 09-20-90, where Mr. Radajewski was arrested for Misdemeanor Failure to Register Dangerous Dog and four other dog-related petty misdemeanors. According to Hennepin County Court records, Mr. Radajewski went to court on 02-27-91 and was found guilty and convicted of Misdemeanor Failure to Register Dangerous Dog. He received two days jail time, which was stayed with the provision that he have no dog violations for a period of one year. On the City's cab license application, there is a question which asks if the applicant has been convicted of a crime or misdemeanor. Mr. Radajewski responded no to this question. Therefore, considering the information regarding the conviction on 02-27-91 in Hennepin County, Mr. Radajewski was turned down for falsifying the application. There are currently no other circumstances which would prevent Mr. Radajewski from obtaining a Columbia Heights cab license. /kao attachment • f TXT CHESTER H11.11 1.-,,111,./F,1,!;!d 2W3 :?Nil !il 1-� MFLS I-Iii , ,.1 H snm.

As I also mentioned, the issues are complex and frequently accompanied by a substantial amount of misinformation. I attempted to clarify the major points related to consolidation in letter to the St. Paul city council fn 1991 -a copy of my letter on this matter is enclosed for your reference. The resul1s of the September 24, 1993 consolidation study prepared for your police relief association by Milliman & Robertson are consistent with the results of other such studies we have reviewed. The results of their study of projt,(;l"'1 cont.dbullons dated December 22, 1993, are consistent with � results of their earlier study based on a differential between the two studies in the assumed retirement age under PERA.

MN 55102 Re: Local Fire Re1ief Association Consolidation with the Public Employees Retirement Association.of Minnesota (PERA) Ladies and Gentlemen: Over the last two years I have had the opport.unity to witness a number of the sessions you have had to discuss the issUE!S surrounding conso1 idation of the city's fiN department relief association with PERA. During those sessions� a number of. QYths have bten perpetuited, c1ouding the fundamental issues and making rational analysis difficult. The purposes of this letter are to identify the myths, explain the shortcomings 1n the informat1on you have received, and help you understand the single most important Mtruth" available. Specifically, Th• extent to which conso11dat1on w:r11 bl! 110re or 7ess upensiv� to th& city th.n continuition of 1our 1oca1 rt lief assocf at ion is unknowable 1tthis ti11e. !YIH NUMBER 1: Conso1idation becomes less expensive as the number of participantselecting PERA benefits increases. FACT: The consolidation reports you have received from the actuary retained by the Legislative Commission on Pensions and Retirement show first year contributions under the following four scenarios�l.Continuation of local relief association;2.Conso11dat1on with all electing relief association benefits;3.Canso1idat1on with all electing PERA benefits;4.Consolidation with all elKting p1an which would be most expensive the firstyear.That format responds to the specifications of the conso1idation legislation and was not intended to mislead. However. it invariably shows the sma11est contributions for item 3. The primary reason for this result is that the reserves required for retirantj electing post fund escalation 1n benefit$ are less than the reserves required for retirants electing relief association escalation. Ret1rants electing post fund escalation g1ve up the guarantee that their benefits w111 increase at the $UJe rate that the pay or a first class fire fighter increases. In exch�nge they agree to accept escalation in benefits based on the investment performance of thepost fund. The extent to which this transfer 1s more or less expensive to the city over the long term 1s contingent on future economic experience.

For members retiring shortly after consolidation, the 5 year final average pay wou1d be based on the 5 year average of the pay of a fi�,t classfire fighter rather than their actual pay.

FACT: Decline --yes, �ut not necessarily rap_�ly. The contribution requirements ar-a" b9 I aw, com'P11tid on a pl"esen\ worst case Bis is. It is not 11 ke1y that allelections by members will produce immediate worst cise results. Consequently, some dtc11nts shou1d be anticipated. However, there 1s another factor which has influenced the recent history of computod contributions for associations which have already consolidated. Economic assumptions used by PERA were liberalized in 1989.Consolidation account valuations as of July 1, 1989 ref1ected those new assumptions. . A $tlbstantial portion of tha reductions in contributions shown in the 1989 valuations for those associations which had consolidated prior to that date were.attributable to the change in assumptions. The consolidation contribution amounts computed for your association already include consideration, of the Hberalized assumptions. Future changes 1n your contribution amounts will depend primarily on elections made by individu11 members and future economic conditions. £bang�s: in assumgt,.to.n.s af:fes th• incidence of contributions, but not the long term cost of'l'L--�·--SP m -------...-------------. ... --------------. .. ------. -t'TRUTH NUMBEB l: The administrative costs to the city associated with the plan w111 be lower under PERA than under continuation of the local association. This is a function of the economies of scale ass ociated with administering I larger retirement" system. J-'( O�i\,� �TRUTH NUMBER 2: High paid and long service employees who delay retirement for s or1-l(o more years beyond the date of c;;onso1 idat1on wi11 rvr;ehe substantially larger initial -·� benefits under PERA provisions than under relief association provisions, even if theyW elect survivor coverage. It should also be noted however, that individuals who delay retirement specifically to rec:eive the higher benefit will � receiving their benefits for a shorter period of time than if they had retired when eligible. The savings from the delay will partially offset the contributions required to fund the �igher b�nefits. FINAL TRUTH: Th, long term relative cost of the two plans will be primarily a function of future economic cond1t1ons. tf, for an extended per1od of time t the economy parallels the 70's, with high inflation rates. high pay raises, and low investment return, continuation of the local relief association would probably bemore �o$t1y than consol1dat1on. on the other hand, 1f future economic patterns are closer to those of the 80's with lower inflation rates and pay raises, and high investment return, consolidation would probably be more costly than continuation of the local re11ef associat1on. We could provide you with a number of sophisticated projections to analyze future contribution requirements under alternate economic anvironments.(However, they wou1d a11 be predicated on assumptions about unknowable future events and c,2.11sequently would not be definit;ve in terms of establishing rtl1t1ve plan costs;> If �e were dealing with a longer period of time (like is possible with a group which is open to new h1res) projections �ould be useful in that economic anomalies tend to balance themselves out if the time frame is long enough. While there may be considerable discomfort with the uncertainty associated with thedecbion you must snake. no one is in 11 position to offer you certainty (or even highprobabilities). · GABRIEL, ROEDER, SMITH & COMPANY JAN-28-1994 19:53 FROM GABRIEL ROEDER SMITH CO TO 16127822801 P.06 ... . ·Members of the City CouncilCity of St. Paul January 14, 1991 Page 4 FUHD�ENT� lSSU£S: Discussion to date his been dominated by emotional detail andha& ocusi on the trees rather than tha forest. If you will accept my prami,e that ultimate costs under the alternatives cannot be known, there are only two remaining forest type issues to be considered which are: l, Do you wish to shift a portion of the economic risk to PERA and the retirants 1n anticipation of bad economic conditions or retain all of the economic risk tn anticipation of the rewards which would �1,ult from a favorable econoni,y? 7 4. Do you wish to extend to pra-1982 hires the same benefit levels as are being ·provided to employees hired since the phase out? If the answer to thisquest;on is yes, it necessarily results in a shifting of a portion of the risk ,..j away from the city, foregoing some possible gains, and 1nsu1ating the city against some possible lesses.
