No. 2022-04.
Herringer asked for clarification on the accounts payable to JL Theis Inc. for block and retaining wall.
Chirpich stated this was related to the new cell tower at the library, the scope of the project was
expanded to add additional retaining wall after the contract was made.
Herringer then asked about the municipal ramp cleaning payable to SP S Inc. Chirpich stated this was an
expensive full ramp cleaning where cleaning had not been completed for years; future ongoing
maintenance will need to be planned to avoid this level of cleaning.
Novitsky noted that it was noticeably cleaner.
Herringer asked how long the City would be required to clean the ramp. Chirpich explained that the
ramp is municipally owned and the primary contract owner with the City, Fairview Health Services, has
closed and the contract will expire in September 2022. He stated that the new occupant of the building
would potentially have a similar agreement with the City and Alatus may also need overflow. He added
that this ramp is meant to be free to use for all other businesses as they helped pay to construct the
ramp.
Motion by Jacobs, seconded by Novitsky, to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. All ayes of

BUSINESS ITEMS
3. Establishment of the 42nd and Jackson Tax Increment Financing District
Chirpich reported that Reuter Walton Development has requested public financial assistance in the
form of tax increment financing (TIF) to facilitate the redevelopment t of the City’s vacant
development site located north of and contiguous with the Public Safety ca mpus. Reuter Walton
has received approval from the City to construct a 62-unit affordable apartment community on the
property.
Before the EDA can move to establish a TIF district for the Reuter Walton project, the EDA must
amend the TIF Plan and district boundaries of TIF district No.9. TIF district No. 9 was created in
2000 to facilitate the development of the Columbia Court Townhomes and Crestview Senior Living
projects that are located just to the south, and east of the City’s vacant development site. At the
time of the creation of TIF district No. 9, the City’s Public Safety site, including the vacant portion
being redeveloped by Reuter Walton, was included in the district boundaries. When TIF district
No.9 was established, the City did not have plans to build the Public Safety campus on the site.
Therefore, it was included in the district as a future private redevelopment site. Before creating a
new TIF district for Reuter Walton, the Public Safety parcel, which currently includes the vacant
development site, needs to be removed from TIF district No. 9.
To finalize the plans for the new Reuter Walton TIF district, there are several details still being
discussed and reviewed between staff, the EDA’s public financing consultant Ehlers, and Reuter
Walton to verify the full extent of TIF assistance needed. The possible uses for which TIF is being
considered include; land acquisition, site preparation, affordable housing, and utility related work.
Within the City of Columbia Heights, the Economic Development Authority is authorized to exercise
Tax Increment Financing powers; however the EDA may not exercise any TIF powers without
approval of the City Council. Review and approval by the Council is scheduled for a public hearing
at the March 14th regular City Council meeting. Since the EDA is authorized to exercise TIF powers,
the EDA must make certain findings of fact that are detailed in the attached TIF plan ahead of the
Council’s consideration of the new district.
Previously, the EDA and Council established a redevelopment project designated as the Downtown
Central Business District Revitalization Plan. The revitalization plan has encouraged development
and redevelopment throughout the City; however, modifications to the plan must be made to
encompass the potential development being proposed by Reuter Walton. The TIF Plan attached to
this report is merely a planning document that reflects the maximum potential of the proposed TIF
district. The plan in no way constitutes the terms, length, or dollar amount o f the proposed TIF
district. The term, length, and dollar amount will be part of a separate document, called the
Contract for Private Redevelopment. If the City Council approves the TIF Plan at their March 14th
public hearing, that contract will be considered by the EDA at a subsequent meeting.
The structure of the proposed TIF district and the general outline of the project being
contemplated by Reuter Walton are detailed in the TIF Plan. The project is comprised of a 62 -unit 5
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 7, 2022
EDA Meeting Page 4
income based affordable housing 42 Item 3. Page 2 complex. The maximum duration of the TIF
district is 26 years, and the estimated annual tax increment is $71,868. Ehlers has completed the
TIF Plan on behalf of the City and EDA, and a full copy of the plan is attached to this report.
Before the 42nd and Jackson TIF district is established, the EDA will incur certain administrative
costs related to the creation of the district. These costs are eligible to be paid (reimbursed) with tax
increments generated by the district. To ensure repayment of these costs, the EDA must approve
an interfund loan as part of the project. This interfund loan will allow the EDA to temporarily
finance upfront administrative costs with current EDA fund reserves. Ehlers has recommended
setting this loan amount at $50,000.
Before the EDA there are three (3) resolutions for consideration. Resolution 2022 -05, a resolution
approving the removal of a parcel from TIF District No. 9, Resolution 2022-06, a resolution
modifying the downtown revitalization plan, establishing the 42nd and Jackson TIF district, and
adopting the TIF plan; and Resolution 2022-07, a resolution authorizing an interfund loan for the
EDA to be reimbursed for qualified costs from the TIF District.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Szurek stated she felt they were making a decision about the project without having seen the site
plan to know the details. Chirpich stated that from a land use perspective that it has been approved
by the Planning Commission and the site plan only goes before th e Planning Commission and the
Council, not the EDA.
Szurek added that they are being asked to go into a TIF sight-unseen, and it’s a lot of money.
Chirpich stated that the TIF is related to just the housing. Szurek asked if SACA is asking for money
as well. Chirpich said not from the TIF.
Novitsky stated that SACA is still working on their funding as of last week. He added that the
project looks good, and Reuter Walton has made concessions to accommodate SACA and make
residents in the area as happy as they can be.
Szurek asked if residents were contacted. Buesgens stated that there were two public meetings,
residents spoke to Council and the Planning Commission, and there were several studies
conducted.
Jacobs noted that a project overview should be brought before the EDA in the future, so they don’t
feel like they are going into these decisions blind. Szurek replied that is how she feels without being
able to visualize the project.
Murzyn Jr. asked if the EDA could receive the plans at the same time as the Council when it relates
to TIF districts. Chirpich agreed that this would be a good idea.
Staff pulled up the plans for the EDA Commissioners to view.

Dahl clarified to the EDA that tonight, they are not approving any financial assistance to Reuter
Walton, they are approving the TIF plan, or district, to send to the Council to hold the public
hearing; this doesn’t guarantee financial assistance. He added that the contract will come back to
the EDA for approval, and more detailed site plans can be shared at that time.
Chirpich stated that SACA will be bringing forth plans for land use approval in the summer.
Szurek stated she had a better sense now if what is being discussed. She then asked if they are
doing underground parking. Hark replied they are doing underground and at -surface parking; there
will be no charge for the underground parking, it will be paid by the builder.
Chirpich stated that underground parking is a good topic for TIF and explained that because they
cannot charge for parking, they don’t have as much revenue to pay their financing, and they need
more assistance.
Szurek said that if there was a charge for parking, they would park elsewhere which would have an
impact on the neighborhood, similar to the “Kmart site”. Chirpich stated that the Council was
adamant, based on this example, that they wouldn’t be able to charge for parking. He added that
they extended the time period for Planning Commission approval by 30 days to work through
concerns and consider traffic impacts.

ITEM: Facade Improvement Grant Report for Various Recipients 2022
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney
BACKGROUND:
For the third year in a row the Façade Improvement Grant program is being offered on a first come first serve
basis. Now that spring is upon us, Community Development staff have started to receive the first round of
applications. Advertisement for the program has been spread on social media, by email, and by word of mouth
from commissioners and staff alike. Below are three grant applicants for your review.
Nordeast Electric Inc: is located at 4219 Central Ave NE. Nordeast electric occupies a small brick building with
white trimmed windows on three sides of the building, all of them visible from Central Ave. Nordeast Electric’s
project includes the replacement of four windows, two on the front and one on each side. The window frames
had become cracked and rotten not sealing the building from the elements. The overall project cost is
$6,040.10 warranting a Façade Improvement Grant reimbursement of $3,020.05.
Nordeast Electric submitted their initial application in June 2021 but had only been able to obtain one bid at
the time. As they worked to find the second bid, they began and finished the work proposed in their
application. As the EDA has spoken of before, the current market makes it very difficult for businesses to find a
contractor willing to bid on very small commercial projects. Nordeast Electric was able to find a second bid but
had completed the work prior to the receipt of the EDA’s approval. Staff are bringing this application forward
due to the fact, that the project has meet the intent of the program but ran into issues with finding
contractors to bid on their project. Staff recommend the EDA approve Nordeast Electric under the exception
that there has been a proven hardship.
Schiele Auto repair LLC: is located at 4457 University Ave and does business as Lowell’s Auto Repair . As seen
in the attached photo’s, 4457 University currently has baby blue siding that is beginning to chip away. Schiele’s
Auto is requesting the Façade Improvement Grant to install grey metal siding on the areas above and around
the brick Façade. The replacement of the siding is just one piece of the businesses intended improvements.
Schiele’s Auto also intends to install new windows on the second story, paint the remainder of the building,
install a new awning, and install new lot lights.
Schiele’s Auto is requesting the full $5,000 grant amount to assist with their project. The bids submitted with
the application estimate the total cost of siding to be $16,923.21. The new siding would cover the front of the
building above the brick façade, along with both sides of the building, and the rear of the building. Both sides
are visible to University Ave but the cost of installing siding on the rear of the building is not covered by the
program. Removing the back from the estimate does not affect the full funding designation. The replacement
of the siding is an immediate upgrade to the building, as the current painted siding is chipping away.
Fridley Heights Cyclery: is located at 4755 University Ave NE, on the corner of the University Service Road and
48th Ave NE. The Cyclery is looking to add a 5’x2’ Aluminum sign to the northern side of the building. Being
located on the southern corner, the northern side of the building is the first thing motorists see as they travel 41
Item 3.
Page 2
south on University Ave. The sign meets all design guidelines and sign code requirements. Currently, the
Northern side of the building consists of a tan stucco wall with a large white metal parapet. The aluminum sign
would be placed on the metal parapet and has a black outline to distinguish it from the building.
There are two bids for the sign itself with the lower more comprehensive bid coming in at $121.14. The cost
for instillation also has two bids with the lowest coming in at $590.00. The total cost of this project comes out
to $712.14. Making the total Façade Improvement Grant reimbursement $356.07. While this is a very small
improvement in consideration to other projects. The addition of a sign to the large white parapet will break up
the excessiveness of this feature. This sign also improves the visibility of the business as it is on the side of the
building most seen from drivers traveling south.

MEETING DATE 05/02/2022
ITEM: Creation of the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney 4/27/22
BACKGROUND:
During the May 3rd, 2021, EDA Meeting, Community Development staff brought forth for discussion the
possibility of a Fire Suppression Grant Program. At that meeting, staff discussed how the Minnesota
Administrative Rules (Building Code) requires any change in use, expansion, remodel, or new construction of a
commercial development to meet current fire suppression code requirements. On several occasions, Staff has
interacted with constituents that are looking to bring new businesses into the City, but their projects have
difficulties coming to fruition due to the high cost of installing fire suppression systems.
Therefore, staff has proposed the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program. This is a program seeking to assist
businesses and property owners in partially alleviating the costs of installing fire suppression systems. After
receiving positive feedback from the EDA, staff has moved forward and established the principal documents
for the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program.
In summary, the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program is a reimbursement program like the EDA’s Façade
Improvement Grant Program. The Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program reimburses qualifying applicants up to
50% of the project costs with a maximum of $15,000 per grant. The geographic boundaries for program
eligibility are the same as the current Façade Improvement Grant Program and are limited to commercial or
mixed-use buildings. Improvements that are eligible include the following: design and engineering costs,
construction and installation of a fire line from the main water line to the buildin g, fire sprinkler system
equipment/installation, and associated fire alarm systems/installation.
Staff recommends establishing the Pilot Program by using existing funds from the EDA’s Redevelopment Fund
408. This fund currently serves as the revenue source for the Commercial Revitalization activities of the EDA,
which includes the Façade Improvement Grant Program and the scattered site acquisition of single-family
homes that are zoned commercially. Fund 408 has historically been replenished with approximately $250,000
each year by the City’s special HRA levy. However, in 2022, the City increased the levy amount to $310,000 to
provide additional funding for the various programs that are supported by Fund 408. To fund the Pilot
Program, staff recommends setting aside $45,000 to get through the rest of 2022 and all of 2023. This number
represents the unused portion of the Façade Improvement Grant funds from the 2020 budget. In subsequent
years, staff and the EDA can determine funding levels based upon the success of the program.

FIRE SUPPRESSION GRANT, PILOT PROGRAM
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – FIRE SUPPRESSION GRANT, PILOT PROGRAM REVISED AS OF: 4/26/2022
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) has created and now offers the
Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program (the “Grant Program”). As part of the City’s Business Retention
and Expansion Strategy, the EDA has identified the need to bolster public safety and improve the
commercial stock within the city. Setting out to encourage the revitalization, rehabilitation, and
restoration of older, underutilized commercial spaces within the City of Columbia Heights (the “City”).
Many of the older commercial structures throughout the City lack basic fire suppression systems or
infrastructure for said systems. As new businesses seek to develop in the City, they are limited by code
requirements for the installation of fire suppression systems. These improvements are very costly,
making it difficult for small business to enter and utilize many of the City’s older and smaller
commercial spaces. The Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program seeks to assist businesses and property
owners in partially alleviating the costs of installing fire suppression systems. This program, being
initiated by the Community Development Department, shall be a pilot program for the remainder of
2022 and 2023.
The Grant Program reimburses businesses or commercial property owners for eligible improvements
up to fifty percent (50%) of the total project cost; for a maximum reimbursement of $15,000. The
applicant is reimbursed once the improvements are completed in accordance with program guidelines.
The building or business owner must apply for, be approved for, and sign a grant agreement before
doing the work in order to receive the grant.
