MINNESOTA WASTE SUCCESS STORY
HEIGHTS THEATER
Heights Theater,"the Twin Cities longest continuously operated show
house" is located along Central Avenue in Columbia Heights.
While you don't typically think of much recycling associated with a
movie theater, Tom Letness, owner of the Heights Theater, wanted to
see if he could do his part and collect the recyclables that were used
during movies shown at the theater.Waste Wise was able to help Tom
find waste receptacles that both met the aesthetic of the historic
theater and allowed patrons to properly sort their trash from recycling
and helped him to apply for a grant through Anoka County to cover the
costs.
“It’s working very well,” Tom said. "Before I would get questions about
if we had recycling and now people are happy to see the bins out as an
option." To help provide even more information to patrons, Tom
created a PSA about recycling that is shown before movies. "Recycling
has gone much better and been more successful than I expected," Tom
admitted.
Even despite decreased capacity, since adding a recycling program the
Heights Theater is now diverting an estimated 14,456 pounds of
recycling each year away from the landfill.

government and leadership functions, and provide experience-building opportunities for area youth seeking
increased community and local government engagement. These By-Laws are adopted in consultation with City
Staff, the City Council, and Youth Commission to establish and assist in the function of procedures of operation.
City Council can, by majority vote, remove the Youth Commission for inactivity or lack of maintaining minimal
membership, unethical behavior of individual member or membership in whole, or other determined good
cause. City Council may also, by majority vote, choose to change or amend these by-laws as needed.

members below seven, a call for applications for a mid-term appointment will go out within one week
of the member’s notification of residential change, with a two-week deadline for potential members to
submit applications. Applications will be reviewed and acted on by the City Council at their earliest

PUBLIC HEARINGS
15. Consideration of Resolution No. 2022-53 for a Conditional Use Permit and Variance for
the Public Safety Site Perimeter Security Fence located at 825 41st Avenue NE
Hark reported that the City has applied for a Conditional Use Permit and Variance for the
property located at 825 41st Avenue NE. The project site is home to the City’s Police and
Fire Departments, which was constructed in the year 2009. The applicant proposes to
construct 8-foot-high perimeter security fencing in order to improve the overall security
and safety of the Public Safety campus. The proposed fencing on the western and a portion
of the eastern property lines will be black steel palisade anti-scale fencing with the top
turned outwards. The property’s proposed rear fencing will be chain link, with north and
south chain link pivot gates that meet the pavement. No fencing is proposed along the
site’s front property line.
23
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 4
The subject property is located in the PO – Public and Open Space Zoning District. It is
adjacent to a Planned Unit Development (PUD #2021-01) to the north, One- and Two-
Family Residential District (R-2A) to the west, and Multiple-Family Residential District to
the east (R-4) and the south (R-3). Since the site is directly adjacent to residential zoning
districts, the fencing itself is considered “residential.” Per City Code §9.106(E)(2), fences
exceeding six feet in height shall be deemed structures and shall require a Conditional Use
Permit. The Zoning Ordinance further requires that fences cannot exceed seven feet in
height. Because the proposed fence exceeds this height, a Variance is also requested.
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Institutional Use, which is consistent with its
current use as the City’s Public Safety campus. The proposed perimeter security fencing is
compatible with the institutional use guided for this site by the Comprehensive Plan.
Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Code outlines nine conditions that must be met in order for
the City to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the
property is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning
Administrator.
City Code §9.106(E)(2) stipulates that residential fences that exceed six feet in height shall
require a Conditional Use Permit. This application is consistent with the requirements of
the Code.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for institutional use. Installing a perimeter
security fence around the City’s Public Safety Building is in harmony with the purpose and
intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
The proposed 8-foot height perimeter security fencing should not cause hazards or
disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
The proposed project should not diminish the use of the property in the immediate vicinity.
(e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner th at is
compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding
area.
The proposed black steel fencing is of high-quality material that is under 25% opaque.
Additionally, the proposed chain link fencing will also have very low opaqueness, which will
contribute to preserving the current appearance and character of the neighborhood.
24
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 5
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential
public facilities and services.
This is correct.
(g) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the
public streets and to provide for appropriate on-site circulation of traffic.
This is correct. The fencing should not affect traffic congestion on public streets or on-site
traffic circulation.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction
with the cumulative effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity.
This is correct. The fencing should not cause a negative cumulative effect.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is
located. This is correct. The fence will be constructed of approved fencing materials per the
Zoning Ordinance and State Building Code.
Additionally, Section 9.104 (G) of the Zoning Code outlines five conditions that must be met
in order for the City to grant Variance. They are as follows:
(a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration,
topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to
the provisions of this article would cause practical difficulties in conforming t o the zoning
ordinance. The applicant, however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable
manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance.
The parcel in question serves as the home of the City’s Police and Fire Departments. The
public safety use warrants a two-foot increase in allowable fence height and is permissible
by the zoning ordinance through the Variance process. 104 Item 15. Page 3
(b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of
land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning
classification.
The specific parcel of land in question serves as the City’s sole public safety center, making
the conditions unique to the parcel.
(c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been
created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property.
The variance allowing additional height on the fence will help improve the overall security
and safety of the Public Safety campus.
25
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 6
(d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The property is guided for institutional use. The proposal is consistent with the general
purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or
improvements in the vicinity.
It does not appear that the 8-foot fencing proposed for this site would be detrimental to
the public welfare of affect the overall enjoyment, use or value of the property in the area.
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit and Variance to construct 8 -foot
fencing around the perimeter of the City’s Public Safety Campus located at 825 41st
Avenue NE. In review of the application, Staff finds the Conditional Use Permit and
Variance requests to be reasonable and will not negatively impact the health, safety, or
welfare of the City, its residents, and property owners. On May 3, 2022, the Planning
Commission unanimously voted (with two absences) to recommend approval to the City
Council on this matter. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Conditional
Use Permit and Variance as presented, subject to certain conditions.
Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Motion by Councilmember Novitsky, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn Jr., to close the
public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution No. 2022-53, there being ample copies
available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.

to the conditions stated in the resolution. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
16. Approve Metropolitan Council LCDA Loan Agreement
Chirpich reported that on January 26, 2022, the Metropolitan Council awarded the City a
$1,232,000 Livable Communities Demonstration Account Development Grant (LCDA grant)
to support the Reuter Walton affordable housing, and Southern Anoka Community
Assistance (SACA) food shelf project that is being developed on the City’s Public Safety
remnant parcel. The City is required to administer the grant and distribute the funds for
eligible project related costs. Eligible expenses include, stormwater infrastructure, site
preparation, engineering, soil remediation, placemaking, and public art.
26
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 7
Of the $1,232,000 LCDA grant, the City intends to distribute $820,000 to Reuter Walton
and $412,000 to SACA. Reuter Walton will be using the funds exclusively for stormwater
infrastructure, site grading, and soil corrections. To ensure compatibility with their overall
project financing, Reuter Walton has asked the City to provide their portion of the LCDA
funding in the form of a loan. This type of arrangement is common for affordable housing
projects that receive LCDA funding, and the LCDA grant agreement between the City and
Metropolitan Council permits such an arrangement.
The primary terms of the loan agreement and ancillary agreements are as follows:
The loan term is 40 years (same term as the primary project financing); the interest rate is
1% (simple interest); payment of the loan is deferred for the full term and due in full as a
balloon payment upon maturity; loan funds will only be disbursed for grant eligible
expenses; loan funds will only be disbursed by the City after they are received by the
Metropolitan Council; the City/LCDA loan will be subordinate to the primary project
financing.
Mayor Márquez Simula congratulated them on receiving the grant and stated that the
infrastructure and affordable housing is what the City needs. Chirpich said this project has
utilized several sources of funding and thanked the Metropolitan Council for the grant .
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn Jr., to waive the
reading of Resolution 2022-54, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes,
Motion Carried 5-0.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to approve

connection with a Livable Communities Demonstration Account Grant from Metropolitan
Council with respect to a housing project. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
Bid Considerations
17. Accept Bids and Award Contracts for City Hall Buildout, Project 1911
Director Hansen reported that at the Special City Council meeting of March 23, 2022, the
Council approved the final plans and specifications and authorized bidding for the buildout
of the new City Hall. The bidding process is being administered by the Construction
Manager, Doran Special Projects (DSP). Bids were obtained by two means – price quotes
for cost items under $175,000 and sealed bids for items over $175,000. Bids were provided
in 28 construction areas identified in the proj ect specifications. The bid opening was
conducted on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.
The initial bid tabulation for the City Hall Buildout (only) provided a total project cost of
$6.4 million. DSP is still analyzing the bids received so the project costs may change. The
3/23/22 budget and DSP pricing check prior to bidding established an e stimate of cost
(range) of $5.3 – 5.7 million. While the project budget was updated to reflect anticipated
27
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 8
price increases due to inflation, pandemic induced supply chain disruptions, and labor
shortages, the bids received exceeded those estimates.
Based on evaluation of the bids received, DSP is recommending either award of contract or
reject and rebid (in an effort to reduce costs) as follows:
PUBLICLY BID: 6A Carpentry Install $120,000; 6B Architectural Woodwork Reject and Rebid;
8A Aluminum Frame Entrances Reject and Rebid; 9A Gypsum Board $599,969; 9B Ceramic
Tile Reject and Rebid; 9C Acoustical Panel Ceilings $332,833; 22A Plumbing Reject and
Rebid; 23A HVAC $1,170,000; 26A Electrical $746,000; 27A Data Communications
$127,537.
Director Hansen stated that those that are rejected and rebid would be brought back to the
Council on June 6, 2022, for approval.
BID QUOTES: 1A Final Cleaning $9,637; 4A Concrete Masonry and Stone $222,275; 5A
Metal Fabrication Materials $20,835; 5B Metal Fabrication Installation $11,600; 7B Joint
Sealants $9,670; 8B HM Doors/Frames $90,078; 9D Tile Carpeting $129,900; 9E Painting
$69,675; 10A Signage $11,560; 10B Specialties $52,202; 10C Fireplace $20,550; 11A
Appliances $5,000; 12A Roller Window Shades $23,755; 12B Quartz Countertops $103,228;
21A Fire Suppression $142,390; 27B AV Communications Reject and Re-quote; 28A Security
Systems Reject and Re-quote; 28B Fire Detection and Alarm $21,995.
Director Hansen said that the bid quotes were the items that were estimated to be below
$175,000, those that are recommended to be rejected and requoted came in above that
amount.
The bid tabulation was included for each section. The bids were reviewed and tabulated by
DSP and their recommendation letter was included. In each bid section, the low bidder was
provided for contract award. Staff concurs with DSP’s recommendations in both the
publicly bid and quoted categories and recommends accepting and awarding 22 contracts.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to accept bids
and award contracts, and reject bids and authorize rebidding, for the City Hall Buildout,
Project 1911, to contractor(s) as listed on the attached summary, based upon their low,
qualified, responsible bids, in the total amount identified in each category, with funding
from Fund 411.9999.45120.1911, and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City
Manager to enter into contracts for the same. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
18. Approve Furniture Acquisition for City Hall Buildout, Project 1911
Director Hansen reported as they are in the project bidding stage for the buildout of the
new City Hall, other aspects also need to be developed, approved and ordered to be ready
for the opening for late Fall 2022. The contract with Leo A Daly included design and project
administration for FF&E – furniture, fixtures, and equipment. As furniture can currently
28
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 09, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 9
have a lead time of 10-14 weeks, procurement needs to occur now to allow for an October
installation.
Staff used a process similar to the City Library for the furniture, fixtures and equipment
selection process. Site visits to multiple vendors occurred (Fluid Interiors, Henricksen,
General Office Products & iSpace); furniture manufacturers and their product lines were
reviewed and a single vendor was selected. As the selected vendors had contract pricing
available on Contract Purchasing Agreements such as the State of Minnesota, Omni, or
Sourcewell, competitive bids were not necessary.
A review committee with representatives from each department in the new City Hall
participated in the vendor selection and chose Fluid Interiors. (As a side note - Fluid
Interiors provided the furniture for the Fridley City Hall). The review committee worked
with Fluid and LAD in the development and selection of FF&E for the new space. In the
current economy, the primary furniture manufacturer (Haworth) informed us that an 8%
price increase would occur for all orders places after April 30th of this year. To avoid the
cost increase a partial order was placed with Haworth furniture for office and work station
furniture. Another order completing the FF&E for the new City Hall will be presented to the
City Council at a later date.
Staff recommends approving the partial order of Haworth furniture from Fluid Interiors in
the amount of $311,993.15.
Motion by Councilmember Novitsky, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn Jr., to approve
the partial furniture purchase from Fluid Interiors for office and work station furniture in the
amount of $311,993.15 from Fund 411.9999.45180.1911. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.

OLD BUSINESS
CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
At the February meeting Commissioners agreed to continue the discussion on traffic and pedestrian safety.
Commissioner Finkelson has recommended two motions for consideration, the first being updating the
Traffic Commission page on the city website and the second to reduce the speed limit on city streets to 20
mph.
Finkelson would like to update the city website to make the process for traffic control requests clearer and
easier for residents. Some residents are unsure of how to submit a request and of the process that follows.
He would like the website to explain this in more detail. He would also like to add links to appropriate
resources that will provide requesters with other options for traffic c alming measures besides stop signs.
Currently residents ask for a stop sign and it’s either approved or denied per the MUTCD guidelines.
Ciesynski feels the city’s website is difficult to navigate. Davis agrees with providing residents with better
access to information. It would be helpful if the website was more user-friendly.
Commissioners would like a link placed on the Traffic Commission webpage to the Report a Concern form
with an explanation that the resident will receive a response and instructions once the form is reviewed by
city staff. Commissioners would also like a list of all communication from residents, even if the items do not
make it to the agenda. They would like this information included in the agenda packet. They would like a
link to the Report a Concern form as well as links to the bicycle and city trails, maps, etc. placed on the Traffic
Commission webpage. They feel including more information on the Traffic Commission page will make it
easier for residents. Davis stated the sidewalk and trails map was last updated in 2011. Young thinks the
trails map was updated more recent than 2011 but the date wasn’t changed—she will check on it. The
bicycle map was updated in 2019. Young advised that staff can add the links to the Report a Concern form
and maps on the Traffic Commission webpage. However, commissioners should check what the City Council
is going to support before posting links to sections of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. If there’s a traffic
calming option listed in the plan that the council is not going to support, it would be a disservice to residents
32
Item 2.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 15, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 2
to present that option. Finkelson asked how they are supposed to know what the council is going to support.
Young advised she would leave those items as recommendations directed toward the City Council.
Schluender feels it would be useful to link to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan transportation section because
it’s already on the website.
Finkelson stated that when the Traffic Commission recommended changing the speed limit on Stinson Blvd
to the beach it was in the minutes but there was no follow up by the City Council. His understanding is that
recommendations from the Traffic Commission first go to the City Manager and then the City Manager
decides what is placed on the agenda. He feels this recommendation was pocket-vetoed by the City
Manager. Young advised that the City Council wants to have a broader discussion regarding the speed limit
and that this recommendation will then become part of that broader discussion.
Councilmember Buesgens explained that sometimes things take a long time. The council will be discussing
the Traffic Commission at the next work session. Commissioners cannot participate but they can email items
to councilmembers of things they want to see changed. She would like to see the Traffic Commission
transformed into a more multimodal commission and that will be up for discussion. She advised that
sometimes the City Manager will put items on her list if she knows a discussion is coming up down the road,
which sometimes may take years. This is usually due to staffing limitations, time constraints, etc. There are
many different reasons why an item may be addressed later. Things don’t always get done quickly. She
strongly suggests they all come to hear what the council has to say about the Traffic Commission. Davis
asked about the timeline for addressing the speed limits. Councilmember Buesgens is not sure. Young
advised the discussion she’s aware of is that they plan to address the speed limits when they discuss 37th
Ave and if Columbia Heights is interested in lowering the speed limit to 25 mph. The discussion will take
place later this year or early next year and then they will plan what to do citywide.
Davis suggested posting items on the website that the council supports within item c (the link to the MnDOT
best practices documents, Minnesota’s Best Practices for Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety ) to assist residents
making requests. Young advised this may be part of a discussion with the City Council. Schluender feels
their recommendations are broad enough that they can follow up at the next meeting and see what’s
happening with the links on the website . There is enough detail in the minutes for people to see what’s
being discussed. The motion does not have to be specific as long as they can follow up at the next meeting.
Motioned by Finkelson to adopt Item (1) requesting the Traffic Commission page of the city website be
updated to make the request for traffic-related improvements process clearer for residents and provide links
to the Report a Concern form and appropriate resources. Seconded by Schluender. Motion passed
unanimously.
Finkelson feels we should reduce the speed limit in Columbia Heights citywide. His understanding is that
there are two options. You have either a blanket 25 mph limit, which is what St. Anthony did, or you can
implement a tiered limit where minor and residential streets are 20 mph and collectors are 25 mph. He
personally favors the 20 mph. He would like to register the Traffic Commission’s opinion regarding the speed
limits with the City Council. Per the minutes the council wants to be consistent with the speed limits and
the goal is to increase safety. The Traffic Commission heard from Ethan Fawley of Vision Zero that
Minneapolis has seen good results with their speed limit reduction. Finkelson would like to make a motion
33
Item 2.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 15, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 3
to recommend the City Council take a tiered approach of 20 mph on minor and residential streets and 25
mph on collector streets such as 37th Ave.
Davis opposes. He feels any road designed for truck traffic should stay at 30 mph . Because 37th Ave is the
main east-west route from Central Ave to I-35W he feels it’s important to keep it at 30 mph. He would
support residential roads being at 25 mph but there are certain roads that should remain at 30 mph. These
are roads that have a yellow centerline. Some of these are county roads so the speed limit may not change
anyway. You do want to encourage the use of certain roads and avoid others. Some speed limits should
remain at 30 mph to prevent heavy traffic in residential areas. There needs to be a balance and speed limits
should be considered reasonable by most people. He would prefer more discussion before passing a motion.
Schluender feels one benefit of lowering the speed limit is that it sets a baseline expectation for the
neighborhood roads. These are expectations where residents are not expecting through traffic. There
should be justification for major roads versus residential roads. He agrees this needs additional discussion.
A lower speed limit long-term is beneficial because it helps with redesigning the streets. You do not want a
speed limit of 20 mph on 40th Ave with four lanes and parking. Staff should compare St. Anthony and
Minneapolis speed limit changes to see how they’re working. He would like to see more information.
Davis asked if 30 mph is a choice with the tiered approach. Finkelson will need to check. There are still a
couple of city roads in Minneapolis that have a higher speed limit than 20 mph so there are exceptions. The
real restriction is that you can’t make every city road 20 mph but you can always increase the limit. Nekora
agrees with contacting St Anthony and Minneapolis. Davis would like to table this for discussion.
Motioned by Davis to table reducing the speed limit on city streets until the next meeting. Seconded by
Schluender. Motion passed unanimously.

Finkelson asked about the listening sessions with council and staff. Buesgens advised these took place when
they held the city expos, these were held on a Saturday. He also asked about the annual improvement
hearings. Young explained that the majority of street projects are assessed, so as part of that process staff
will host at least two informal meetings with the affected residents. Residents then can bring up both
construction issues and issues they’ve seen on their street.

REPORTS
City Engineer
37TH AVENUE CONSTRUCTION
At the last meeting the 37th Ave plans were part of the discussion so the City Engineer included these at
this meeting for commissioners to go over.
Davis stated there have been a few changes since the last review and asked where this input came from.
The first change he noted is that there are quite a few crosswalk islands. Young advised those were
generated by Minneapolis. Davis understands Polk St but is questioning the others. Young explained these
were part of the agreement to move forward with the project.
Parking will be limited on 37th Ave, buses will stop in the traffic lane which is a safety request by the transit
company.
Davis stated that on the north side of 37th west of Buchanan St. there is a row of houses that face 37th Ave.
Can a second parking bay put into that section? Young explained parking bays were reviewed based on the
driveway lengths and this would have had to have been brought up during the open houses with staff. Davis
feels residents were unaware of the open houses as many are rental properties. He would like to see the
parking reconsidered.
Davis is also concerned about the pedestrian bays because of what he saw on in Minneapolis on Johnson St,
where the road curves throughout, especially with truck traffic having to meander through. He feels this is
problematic, especially because it’s a narrower road with no parking which leaves nowhere to go. Starting
at Central Ave there’s a tiny jog that goes in between there and Polk St. Can the median be kept a little
wider so it’s not going in and out—it gets wide, then narrow, then wide, etc. Young stated that when driving
it will seem fairly straight. Davis did not find that when driving on Johnson St and he does not want to see
the same thing on 37th Ave. He would like a more detailed map.
Davis asked the width of 37th Ave on the west side of Central where the parking was removed to add the
trail and if the east side will be the same width or will it be narrower? Young will need to check the distance
between the curb and centerline stripe on the east side compared to the west side. She advised for the
most part it’s 13’, an 11’ lane and 2’ curb reaction. Davis would like her to let him know that west of Central
will be designed the same as east of Central to make sure the lanes are both the same width.
Finkelson likes the pedestrian islands. Currently 37th Ave is difficult to cross. He likes the way it weaves a
little because this will slow people down and the pedestrian islands will make it safer to cross. Young advised
35
Item 2.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 15, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 5
part of that was at the request of Minneapolis. Because the bike trail is on the north side they want their
residents to be able cross from the south side to the north side.
Davis stated there are some pedestrian areas that are rather close. Polk St to Central Ave in particular and
between Johnson St and Buchanan St. Young advised the medians will not be removed. Davis does not
want them removed but he feels the geometry is wrong. He would like to see these areas stay wide rather
than narrow and then widen so it’s not so extreme for truck traffic. It would make more sense to keep these
wider through those sections. He would like more width to deal with the traffic. Young advised that other
than at Central Ave, the lanes going in both directions are essentially 13’ feet wide, an 11’ lane with 2’
reaction before you get to the vertical part of the curb. Davis stated with snow it’s essentially 11’.
He also asked if the chokepoint at Hayes St could be created so there’s not such a significant jog between
the north and south side of Hayes St. The boulevard on the south side could be wider on the left instead of
the right so there’s less of a jog between the north and south side. Cross traffic now must veer at more of
a diagonal.
Davis questioned Hart Blvd becoming narrower when traffic already is coming in at an angle at that spot.
Young explained this definitely will force vehicles into one lane in each direction, but this makes it much
safer for pedestrians to cross the street. It was done this way to try to square it up so it’s at more of a 90
degree angle with 37th Ave.
Finkelson asked about Anoka County doing work on 40th Ave. Young advised they’ve applied for a couple of
grants and so far, have been unsuccessful. The work will not be done without grant money because of the
costs. She provided the costs we have to date for 37th Ave to give commissioners an idea of the financial
impact for this type of construction. Originally the project started at $11 million but as the design progressed
the cost increased. They are looking for more funding sources. For example, they plan to approach the
Mississippi Watershed Organization for the green infrastructure such as the stormwater type projects. New
signals have been added at both Central Ave and Johnson St as part of the project.
Davis asked if there will be a change of configuration with the new signals. At one point he had suggested a
change to the signals at 37th and Central Aves. He had suggested a green arrow for the westbound dedicated
right turn lane onto northbound Central Ave . The lane is signed no turn on red. The green arrow for
southbound traffic on Central Ave turning left (eastbound) onto 37 th Ave follows the green light for the right
turn lane onto northbound Central Ave and westbound traffic on 37th Ave. Davis had suggested having the
green arrow for the dedicated right turn lane onto northbound Central Ave and the left turn signal for
southbound Central Ave turning east on 37th Ave cycle at the same time. He feels this would allow a lot
more traffic to go through and alleviate backups in the dedicated right turn lane during rush hour. There
would still be the protection that no turn on red provides but it would allow more traffic to flow.
Councilmember Buesgens stated she was liaison on the Traffic Commission several years ago and she has
seen a change in the commission since then. This commission is taking more initiative and more interest in
being involved. She will bring this up to the city manager, council, and staff. Hopefully the council will allow
the Traffic Commission to be more self-initiating and find a more formal way for them to bring items to the
council. She strongly recommends zooming in or attending the April 4th work session at 7:00 pm. They meet

CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
At the March meeting commissioners agreed to table reducing the speed limit on city streets until the April
meeting.
Finkelson advised he pulled data from MnDOT regarding reducing speed limits. Excluding data from 2020-
21, which is preliminary, the data shows that from 2011-2019 approximately 48% of all crashes occurred on
city or municipal state aid roads. He doesn’t have the criteria for what MnDOT categorizes as serious crashes
but out of 15 serious crashes, six were on city streets and two on municipal state aid roads, which is just
over half of the streets under the City of Columbia Heights jurisdiction. He would like to make a
38
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 19, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 2
recommendation to the City Council to adopt a 20-25mph maximum speed limit. The 20-25mph would be
consistent with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Per Vision Zero lowering the speed limit does have
some effect on slowing down traffic. Feels this would set the expectation for city staff when redesigning
streets to keep the speed limit lower for people to be safe.
Davis asked Mayor Simula if there has been further discussion since the MnDOT meeting about what
direction the City Council wants to take regarding the speed limit. She advised she wasn’t at the work session
but her notes indicate that for the most part the council was okay with MnDOT’s presentation, but they still
want to hear from the community. One councilmember was hoping for more traffic slowdown on Central
Ave. There have been five accidents in the last three weeks on Central Ave. A PEL study was done two years
ago before knowledge of the new apartment buildings that does not reflect the new data. Davis stated the
recent accidents seem to be concentrated within a 4-block area that has no additional pedestrian lighting.
This area has dark zones outside of the LED lights making it difficult to see pedestrians, especially if they’re
not right at the corner. He feels the LED lighting we’ve added is brighter but is more concentrated making
it difficult to see outside of that zone. He would like the Traffic Commission to ask the council to look into
some type of additional lighting in this area. North of 45th Ave is so wide that having only mid-block lighting
is not adequate, coupled with coming from a 40mph speed limit. He feels this is a big enough concern to
address now and not wait for a grant for lighting. He also asked about the pedestrian bump outs and where
these would be placed on Central Ave. He feels 45th Ave to 49th Ave would be the most beneficial but is
unsure of the Metro Transit using the shoulders as bus stops. Finkelson advised there is a list in the
presentation or the risk assessment, but it only goes up to 45th Ave. Ciesynski questioned that since Central
Ave is a state road, would MnDOT let the city install more lighting. Young advised they would, but MnDOT
would need to be involved.
Motion by Davis to request the City Council consider adding additional basic or temporary lighting on Central
Ave between 43rd and 47th Aves to increase public safety. Seconded by Finkelson. Motion passed
unanimously.
A motion was made by Finkelson to recommend the City Council adopt a 20-25mph speed limit on city
streets. Schluender stated he is in favor of this motion but thinks it should be an agenda item for the next
meeting and the commission should try to get citizen input for discussion. Davis agrees more public input
would be helpful and more valuable to the council. He would like a tiered speed limit of 20-25-30mph for
different types of roads. Finkelson and Davis asked how to attain public attendance i.e., publicize a meeting.
The City Clerk advised she would need to follow up on this as far as restrictions, jurisdiction of the
commission, etc.
Motion by Davis to direct staff to explore how the Traffic Commission can hold a public hearing regarding a
potential tiered speed limit of 20-25-30mph on local roads. Seconded by Ciesynski. Schluender added that
it would be useful to include in the agenda packet a synopsis of what the legislation passed down to local
entities, including the state statute referencing the guidelines and ability of the Traffic Commission, so the
public understands where this is coming from . Motion passed unanimously.
The City Clerk advised she needs to research if the Traffic Commission has the authority to call for a public
hearing regarding this item. There is a difference between a public meeting and a public hearing. A public
hearing must be posted to the City’s website and published in the city’s legal newspaper. A public meeting
can be posted on the website, commissioners can also have conversations with residents. Mayor Simula
39
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 19, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 3
advised commissioners can promote a public meeting on social media, i.e., there is a meeting on Tuesday,
we’d like input, and list what the meeting is about on the agenda. Commissioners can also talk to neighbors.
Commissioners agreed to be more specific on the next agenda regarding the speed limit in hope of obtaining
more public input.
Davis asked for any information regarding the 25mph in St. Anthony. Young spoke with Zach Lunderberg,
the St. Anthony Public Works Superintendent. He stated that when they first made the change they received
some negative social media comments, but nothing major that needed to be addressed formally, and
operationally everything seems to be going fine. Captain Markham exchanged emails with the St. Anthony
Police Captain. He didn’t have any hard data but stated with the change to the interior streets there seems
to be fewer traffic complaints. They also installed digital speed display signs on Silver Lake Road at 31st Ave
and on 37th Ave by Wilshire Elementary School with no strong objections from residents. Captain Markham
is unaware if St. Anthony is collecting any hard data.

REPORTS
City Engineer
The Central Ave traffic signals scheduled for painting are at 44th, 45th, 47th, 49th and 52nd Avenues. The signal
at 50th Ave is fairly new and it’s anticipated that the signal on Central and 40th Aves will be replaced within
the next 10 years. MnDOT’s new standard it to put up galvanized poles. It is up to the City if they want
them painted and to provide the funding. The poles that are being painted are at the City’s request and the
City is funding this. Davis asked if the new signal on 40th Ave will have the flashing arrow, Young advised it
will. He also questioned if there will be a longer walk time. Young advised studies are done prior to the
signal replacement projects and we will know at that time. Davis also asked if the lighted street sign will be
replaced. Young advised all new signals will have LED lights, so she anticipates when 40th is redone the new
signal will have LED lights.
LRRB (Local Road Research Board) studies are underway. This shows that other cities are dealing with the
same issues as the Traffic Commission, i.e., the impact of speed limits, factors that influence vehicles
stopping for pedestrians, impact of warning devices. All these studies are underway; some will be done in
2023 and others in 2024. These studies are not specific to Central Ave, they’re general.
Young asked what commissioners envision the May meeting to entail and what they are looking for from
staff. Davis advised one item is the public meeting regarding the speed limit. He also wanted to provide
some feedback on 37th Ave but needs more time to review. Ciesynski asked about the time frame for a
public meeting notice. Young advised a public meeting notice needs to be posted three days before the
meeting and does not require legal publication. For a public hearing, commissioners would need to formally
call for a public hearing and a legal public hearing notice would need to be published a minimum of 10 days
prior to the hearing date. Schluender suggested specifying this agenda item as lowering the city speed limit
to 20mph so the public is aware this is coming up and if interested can attend the meeting. Commissioners
can also assist with spreading this information to residents. After this public meeting commissioners can
vote on the speed limit. If citizens know ahead of time from social media, etc. and are interested they will
attend the meeting. Nekora agrees with this suggestion. Otherwise, commissioners will need to wait until
40
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 19, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 4
the June meeting and then it will be getting into summer. Commissioners agreed to put reducing city speed
limits on the May agenda and to spread the word via social media and/or talking to neighbors. Young and
the City Clerk will work together on what can be placed on the city website to publicize the meeting.
Police Chief
Captain Markham advised the Police Department is very much aware of the traffic issues on Central Ave
lately and is undertaking extra patrol. They are concerned about the crashes.
Captain Markham asked the Traffic Commission to consider one speed limit throughout the city versus tiered
limits. Currently if you’re on a residential street you know it’s 30mph. If you’re on a residential street and
you need to guess between 10-15-20-30mph it may create confusion for drivers and is definitely harder to
enforce, i.e., if there are three different speed limits within a three-quarter mile stretch. Schluender advised
Minneapolis and St. Paul put up entrance signs that say 20mph unless otherwise posted. From what he
understands, it is the intent of the legislative action that a city can lower the speed limit to 20mph and then
if wanted, can designate the speed limit on an arterial road to 25mph. Or cities can take the approach that
St. Anthony did and have a citywide speed limit of 25mph.
Captain Markham agreed with Davis about the lighting on 47th Ave, it’s very hard to see pedestrians,
especially if they’re dressed in dark clothing. Another thing that needs to be looked at is bus stops. Is it
necessary to have a bus stop on every block or is better to control them. It would be better for bus stops to
be located at controlled intersections so pedestrian must use the crosswalk at the light, making things safer
and easier to control. Police is currently working on this in the background with MnDOT and Zero Death.
Ciesynski asked about Columbia Academy-- parents are taking up the only through lane for traffic. Captain
Markham stated he has been dealing with this traffic issue all year and working with the academy to try to
keep the loop drop-off moving. He has received numerous complaints but does not know how else to
improve the situation. There is a high volume of car traffic, more parents pick up and drop off. Police has
CSO’s present mornings and evenings, and the school district has three officers directing. They continue to
tweak the situation; the flow has improved but it’s not ideal. They are doing the best they can.
Finkelson questioned enforcement of drivers that fail to yield to pedestrians. Captain Markham advised
they have run a program for several years and used communit y outreach to educate pedestrians.
Pedestrians and drivers are equally at fault, it’s a combination problem. Before COVID they were carrying
out enforcement of both vehicle and pedestrian traffic and providing educational handouts to each.
Davis questioned removal of certain bus stops to control pedestrian crossing. Captain Markham explained
this was a goal prior to COVID but at this point it’s at the control of Metro Transit; once they’re on board
they will try to move forward. Schluender advised the “10” line is being converted to the “F” line through
the BRT and there will be less stops. Captain Markham stated the bus stop that’s problematic is at 46-1/2
Ave. On Central Ave, 45th to 47th Ave is uncontrolled so a pedestrian can cross the street anywhere legally
and there’s also bad lighting. If a northbound bus drops someone off, that person may try to dart across
Central Ave towards Hilltop. These are a couple of the west to east issues. There’s definitely room for
improvement in that area.
Finkelson asked about making the intersections at 46th and 46-1/2 Aves safer for pedestrians, even without
a bus stop. There’s still a lot of pedestrians that will using that area and he feels we should focus our energy
41
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 19, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 5
on making these intersections safe for crossing the street. Captain Markham advised that a pedestrian
crossing at 43rd Ave is $300,000. He's doing the best he can from the enforcement side with what he has to
work with. We need to develop a relationship with MTC and try to get something done there such as lighting
and traffic control devices, but this is a much bigger process.
Ciesynski stated that the bus stops were a big selling point when they built the multi-units at the old K-Mart
site, as to quick access to the downtown bus line, so removing these may cause some discontent. Davis is
concerned that removing bus stops and implementation of the “F” line may cause accessibility issues and
increase the distance seniors need to walk to the bus stop, making it less feasible for them to use it.
Captain Markham advised that from 47th to 49th Ave some people use the 49th Ave walk bridge and others
just dart across Central Ave if they’re trying to catch the bus. If there were planters in-between this area it
would make it more difficult to cross the street, so you would be controlling the pedestrian traffic which
would reduce the likelihood of a crash. Mayor Simula added that if the bus dropped pedestrians at the traffic
light they would cross at the traffic light, which would be the safest place, instead of in the middle of the
block. We currently have two mid-block bus stops. It’s not about removing the bus stops but relocating
them to drop people off at the light. She is taking notes and reporting back to MnDOT with the BRT to
ensure that the bus stop is at a safe place to cross. Davis advised people don’t like to take the corners, they’ll
take the diagonal whenever possible, whether it’s a bus stop or just crossing the street in general. Captain
Markham agrees, they’ll always take the shortest route. That’s why he feels barriers on Central Ave would
make it more difficult for pedestrians to just shoot across. Finkelson asked about the legalities of crossing
the street. Captain Markham explained that at controlled intersections such as 44th and 45th Aves, you must
cross at the light, but 47th Ave is not controlled so people can cross wherever they want. This is not much
different than the Safe Systems program Minneapolis has run, Crime Prevention through Environmental
Design; through environmental design you’re trying to safely move people to an area where they’re not
going to get hit by cars. It’s not about taking away accessibility. Finkelson feels we should use environmental
controls to slow down traffic to make it safe to cross the street. Captain Markham advised that moving a
bus stop one-half block and having a traffic light to cross the street is safer for pedestrians. Mayor Simula
added this includes traffic speeds, the two work together. Finkelson feels that because of the restaurants
and businesses on Central Ave people are still going to cross at 46th and 46-1/2 Aves. Mayor Simlula advised
all options will be discussed.

with Easement Vacation for the property located at 825 41st Avenue NE. The Final Plat, once
approved, would create three separate lots: Lot 1, which currently houses the City’s Public Safety
Campus; Lot 2, which is proposed to be developed into a 62-unit, 4- story affordable apartment
building; and Lot 3, which is proposed to be developed into a new retail, office, and warehouse
space for SACA Food Shelf. In addition to the Final Plat, the applicant is requesting the vacation of
an existing storm water drainage utility easement (per Document No. 1554478), which burdens the
underlying property to retain storm water on the surface of the existing parking lot. With the
vacation of this easement, the applicant proposes to construct a new underground storm water
chamber on proposed Lot 2 and record a new easement to store storm water in the underground
chamber. This effectively eliminates the need to continue to maintain existing easement 1554478.
On May 4, 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of this Planned
Unit Development’s Preliminary Plat and several other Easement Vacations. The applicant is now
submitting the Final Plat, which requires approval prior to project construction.
Zoning Ordinance: The Zoning Ordinance requires the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing
on the applications for a Final Plat and Easement Vacation, and submit its recommendation to the
City Council. The site is zoned as a 6 Item 2. Page 2 Planned Unit Development District (PUD District
#2021-01), with flexibilities on parking, building setbacks, and units-per-acre through the approval
of Ordinance No. 1666. The newly-platted lots intend to accommodate multi-family housing, retail,
office space, and warehouse space. The project site is adjacent to the One- and Two-Family
Residential District (R-2A) to the north and west, as well as the Multiple Family Residential District
to the east (R-4) and the south (R-3).

Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Transit Oriented Development.
Transit Oriented Development seeks to develop properties to have a mix of residential, retail, and
office. Through the approval of the Final Plat, two additional developable lots wi ll be created with
the intention to developing housing, retail, office, and warehouse space.
Findings of Fact: Section 9.104 (M) of the Zoning Code outlines two conditions that must be met in
order for the City to grant a Final Plat. They are as follows:
(a) The final plat substantially conforms to the approved preliminary plat.
The final plat submitted substantially conforms to the preliminary plat that was approved by the
City Council on June 14, 2021 through Resolution No. 2021-44.
(b) The final plat conforms to the requirements of Section 9.116 (Subdivision Ordinance).
In review of the final plat that was submitted, Staff finds that the final plat generally conforms
to the City’s Subdivision Ordinance for a Planned Unit Development. The applicant is compliant
in this regard.
Additionally, Section 9.104 (J) of the Zoning Code outlines two conditions that must be met in order
for the City to grant an Easement Vacation. They are as follows:
(a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation.
This is correct.
(b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation.
This is correct. The applicant proposes an easement dedication to replace the vacated storm
water drainage utility easement, which would help alleviate drainage issues in the area.
Recommendation: Staff review finds that the proposed Final Plat and Easement Vacation
applications meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. As a result, Staff recommends that
the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed Final Plat and Easement Vacation
for the property located at 825 41st Avenue NE, subject to certain conditions.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Hoium commented that he previously had a question about SACA and asked if that has been
resolved. Hark responded that SACA is making progress towards their plans, but funding is still an
issue; they are waiting to submit their application until funding is secure d.
Vargas asked for clarification on the previous drainage easement, which allowed for water to sit on
the surface, and asked if now a system will be installed underneath it. Hark replied that is correct.

Kaiser asked for confirmation that besides the stormwater easement component, that nothing else
seems to be different from what was seen previously. Hark responded that there shouldn’t be any
substantial changes, but there may be more easement dedications which aren’t required to be part
of this process.
Hark said that the apartments will be addressed as 800 42nd Avenue NE and the potential SACA site
will be addressed as 850 42nd Avenue NE.
Sahnow asked what the preliminary construction timeline is. Hark replied that they are hoping to
break ground in June 2022.
Vargas stated that Reuter Walton is a union shop, and asked if they are providing opportunities for
non-union subcontractors. Ackmann replied that they are restricted with financing and they have a
contract with Frana and Companies; they would have to defer to them for specific subcontractor
list.
Hoium asked about the park dedication funds that would be received for this project. Chirpich
replied that the City would receive $45,000, 10% of the land value in an undeve loped state.

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.

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 49
Item 5.
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.

principal amount of each advance from the date of such advance. The interest rate is no more than the
greatest of the rate specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 and Section 549.09, both in
effect for calendar year 2022, and will not be adjusted.
2.02. Principal and interest (the “Payments”) on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semiannually on each

increment from the TIF District received by the Authority from Anoka County, Minnesota in the six-
month period before any Payment Date. Payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and then
to unpaid principal. Payments on the Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future
bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment, and are on a parity
with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in w hole or in part with Available Tax
Increment.
2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are prepayable in
whole or in part at any time by the Authority without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment shall
affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made under this
Interfund Loan.
2.05. This resolution is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in accordance with Section
469.178, subdivision 7 of the TIF Act, and is a limited obligation payable solely from Available Tax
Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this resolution. The Interfund Loan shall not be
deemed to constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision
thereof, including, without limitation, the Authority and the City. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor
any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the Interfund
Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment. The Authority shall have no
obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may
remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.

ITEM: Approve Change Order No. 1 to FER-PAL Construction for Water Main Lining and Rehabilitation,

BACKGROUND: Fer-Pal Construction USA, LLC was awarded the 37th Avenue Water Main Rehabilitation
project on March 14, 2022. This work included structural water main lining and water system rehabilitation
work on 37th Avenue, Pierce Street and Lincoln Street. After the contract was awarded a water main was
identified that needed repair along Central Avenue. The additional 313 feet of 6” water main lining,
associated valve installations, excavations, pipe removal and replacement and traffic control increased the
original contract amount by $102,282.38 to a total of $1,101,133.38.
The $102,282.38 is $3,660.00 more than the original quote from Fer-Pal Construction. The added cost is
associated with a 6” valve identified as needing replacement after the quote w as submitted. This additional
valve is necessary to ensure a complete shutdown can occur for the lining work, and that no customer’s water
services are shut off for the duration of the project. Four of the gate valves identified in the original quote are
existing and are being replaced because of age, and proximity to the construction work, and the fifth is needed
to ensure a complete shut down without shutting off any services for residents for the duratio n of the project.
The 6” water main running between Gould Avenue and 40th Avenue on the west side of the Ratio apartment
building has had multiple breaks and is shut off. The last break(s) occurred when the water services for the NE
Bank Building were disconnected in 2020. Two breaks were repaired, but a third break directly next to the
traffic control light for MnDOT caused the city to shut the main down and leave it isolated. The lining costs bid
by Fer-Pal give the city an opportunity to repair the water main and restore it to service at a lower cost than
could be seen otherwise. It also ensures the entire pipe is rehabilitated, which city staff view as necessary due
to the multiple breaks that occurred while trying to repair it previously. This pipe provides the necessary loop
in our High Zone to ensure good water quality for residents and businesses near Central Avenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Approval of the Compensating Change Order 1 to the contract
price and scope of work change submitted in Compensating Change Order 1 for Project 2203.

BACKGROUND
Over the last several years, the police and fire departments have made security upgrades to the public safety
building such as upgrading and replacing security cameras and lighting. We have also recently discussed with
the council exterior upgrades which include the replacement of the existing fencing and security gates. The
bids on the exterior fencing should be ready to present to Council in late May.
Additionally, the police and fire departments have also explored the opportunity to enter into a portable
fencing consortium with approximately 40 other cities in the metro area. This portable fencing would not
replace the proposed upgrade to the permanent exterior fencing, but instead would be deployed as a second
layer of fencing in the event of a critical incident where, given the circumstances, it appeared that this
additional layer of fencing would be needed.
This fencing consortium was started after the realization of the need for communities to have readily
accessible anti-scalable fencing in the event of a critical incident. Fencing such as this are only produced by a
few vendors, all of which are out of state. Further, this type of fencing is very expensive, and the delays
involved in attempting to procure fencing on a short notice will be problematic and could lead to unnecessary
risks to personnel and public property.
This consortium is designed to pool the resources of cities, to include training personnel in the deployment
and installation of this fencing which will reduce the deployment time in the event of a critical incident.
This type of fencing, if needed in a critical incident, along with the proposed upgraded security fencing has
been shown to be an effective in supporting de -escalation measures with protestors as well as protecting
facilities from damage.
The annual cost for the City of Columbia Heights to belong to this consortium will be approximately $5,000-
$6,000 per year, depending on the final number of cities who will be in this consortium. Currently there is a bill
in the legislature requesting $5 million for this project. If this is approved, the costs of belong ing to this
consortium should be lower.
65
Item 9.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
It should be noted that this annual cost does not include costs associated with deployment of the fencing.
Once the fencing is in place, the approximate cost to the city, as of today would be approximately
$28,000/month.
Part of this Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) will include a small number Columbia Heights Public Works
employees to be trained annually in the set -up of this temporary fencing.
It is the recommendation of myself and Chief Thompson to enter into t his JPA as part of the city’s pre-planning
for response to critical incidents.

FENCING CONSORTIUM JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
THIS FENCING CONSORTIUM JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is
made and entered into by and among the Governmental Units identified in the attached Exhibit A
(each a “Member” or collectively the “Members”).
RECITALS
A. The civil unrest and resulting negative impacts on mental health, damage to buildings,
and a reduction in overall safety experienced in the Seven County Metropolitan Area in
recent years has given rise to a need for communities to have ready access to anti-
scalable fencing. The anti-scale fencing can be set up to protect public buildings, critical
infrastructure, and other key locations to de-escalate tensions between law enforcement
and protestors as well as reduce the need to rely on crowd control measures to protect
such locations from violent and destructive actors.
B. Appropriate fencing to serve this purpose is produced by few vendors, currently all of
which are located outside of the state.
C. This type of fencing is expensive and the delays associated with attempting to identify
and secure the delivery of fencing during the response to a critical incident may result in
unnecessary risks to personnel and public property.
D. By pooling resources and working cooperatively, communities can access high quality
fencing, trained personnel, and related resources to assemble it in as efficient manner as
possible to support de-escalation measures with protestors and protect facilities from
violent and destructive actors.

In consideration of the mutual agreements and understandings, and intending to be

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
MEETING DATE MAY 23, 2022
ITEM: Approve 42 Central Limited Partnership Development Planning Contract (Reuter Walton
Project)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Aaron Chirpich – 5-16-22
CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below)
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
X Economic Strength X Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
X Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND:
In June of 2021, Reuter Walton Development, LLC (the “Developer”) received land-use approvals for the
construction of a 62-unit affordable housing project (the “Project”) to be located on the vacant portion of the
City’s Public Safety campus at 825 41st Avenue NE. Reuter Walton is currently under contract to purchase the
property from the City, and the project is expected to break ground in early July.
As a condition approval for the project, Reuter Walton is required to enter into a Development Planning
Contract (the “Contract”) with the City to ensure proper completion of the site improvements that are located
in the public right-of-way (the “Public Improvements”). As part of Contract, the Developer is obligated to
deposit escrow funds with the City that cover the cost of the Public Improvements and the cost of City
inspections for the installation of the improvements. If the developer fails to complete the Public
Improvements in a manner consistent with City expectations, the City can use the escrow funds to complete
the work. In addition to the City’s escrow requirements for the project, there are escrow requirements
imposed by the primary lender for the project, in this case, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (“HUD”). Because of the additional escrow requirements of HUD, the City has agreed to reduce
the escrow amount collected by the City because HUD is collecting escrow funds for the same improvements.
In addition to stating the standards for the completion of the Public Improvements and securing the required
escrow, the Contract also specifies the amount of park dedication funding owed by the Developer as part of
the Project approval. In this case, the Developer will pay the City a park dedication fee of $70,000.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2022-55, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2022-55, a resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia
Heights, Minnesota, approving the execution of a Development Planning Contract, between 42 Central
Limited Partnership and the City of Columbia Heights.

ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION
6.1. INDEMNIFICATION OF THE CITY. Except to the extent the following arise
solely from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the City, the Developer
shall indemnify, defend and hold the City, its Council, agents, employees, attorneys
and representatives harmless against and in respect of any and all claims, demands,
actions, suits, proceedings, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, damages,
recoveries, and deficiencies, including interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees, that the
City incurs or suffers, which arise out of, results from or relates to:
A. breach by the Developer of the Developer Warranties;
B. failure of the Developer to timely construct the Developer Public
Improvements according to the Development Plans and the City ordinances;
C. failure by the Developer to observe or perform any covenant, condition, or
obligation to be observed or performed by the Developer under this
Development Contract;
D. failure by the Developer to pay contractors, subcontractors, laborers, or
materialmen in relation to the Developer Improvements;
E. failure to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations to construct the
Developer Improvements;
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") is ever deemed the "Owner" of all or part of the property
described on Exhibit “A”, HUD shall not be subject to the indemnification provisions
contained in this Section 6.1. HUD prohibits and does not authorize any expenditure
which would violate 31 USC 1341 (the "Anti-Deficiency Act"). Any provision of this
Agreement which violate(s)(d) the Anti-Deficiency Act, in the past, present or future,
will not be enforced against HUD. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, HUD whether in the capacity of subsidy provider, loan insurer, lender,
owner, lessee or mortgagee in possession, shall have no obligation of reimbursement,
139
Item 13.
8
indemnity, or holding harmless, of any nature whatsoever, to any governmental entity,
private entity, person or party, either now or in the future. Additionally, any
indemnification obligation of “Owner” shall be limited to available liability insurance
proceeds, Surplus Cash and/or non-Project Assets, as each such term is defined in the
Regulatory Agreement for Multifamily Projects by and between Owner and HUD.
ARTICLE 7
CITY REMEDIES UPON DEVELOPER DEFAULT
7.1. CITY REMEDIES. If a Developer Default occurs, that is not caused by Force
Majeure, the City shall give the Developer Formal Notice of the Developer Default,
specifying the nature of the asserted default, and the Developer shall have a period of
thirty (30) days within which to cure the default, or such longer period not to exceed
ninety (90) days so long as the Developer has commenced the cure within thirty (30)
days and diligently pursue the cure to completion (the “Cure Period”). At the sole
discretion of the City Representative, the Cure Period may be extended by the City
for a reasonable period of time (the “Extended Cure Period”), provided that the
Developer submits to the City, within the Cure Period, a Formal Notice identifying a
reasonable plan and timeline for cure of the default. If the Developer does not cure
the Developer Default within the Cure Period or Extended Cure Period, as applicable,
or if Developer at any time during the Extended Cure Period has failed to diligently
pursue to completion the plan identified by Developer in its request for extension of
the Cure Period, then the City may avail itself of any remedy afforded by law and any
of the following remedies:
A. the City may specifically enforce this Development Contract;
B. the City may suspend any work improvement or obligation to be performed by
the City under this Development Contract;
C. if the Developer Default relates to the initial construction of the Developer
Public Improvements, the City may collect on the cash deposit as provided for
under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof;
D. to the extent not previously issued, the City may deny building and occupancy
permits for buildings within the Development Property;
E. the City may, at its sole option, perform the work or improvements to be
performed by the Developer, in which case the Developer shall within thirty
(30) days after receipt of an invoice by the City reimburse the City for any
costs and expenses incurred by the City, together with interest thereon to the
extent applicable pursuant to Section 3.3 above. In the alternative, the City
may in whole or in part, specially assess any of the costs and expenses
incurred by the City; and the Developer and Owner hereby waive any and all
procedural and substantive objections to the installation and construction other
work and improvements and the special assessment resulting therefrom,
140
Item 13.
9
including but not limited to notice and hearing requirement and any claim that
the special assessments exceed benefit to the Development Property. The
Developer and Owner hereby waive any appeal rights up to the “Total Cost
and Escrow Amount” indicated on Exhibit C pursuant to Minn. Stat. 429.081.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the direct
and indirect members of the Owner shall have the right to cure any such default
and the City shall accept such default as if cured by the Owner itself.
7.2. NO ADDITIONAL WAIVER IMPLIED BY ONE WAIVER. In the event any
agreement contained in this Development Contract is breached by the Developer and
thereafter waived in writing by the City, such waiver shall be limited to the particular
breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or
subsequent breach hereunder. All waivers by the City must be in writing.
7.3. NO REMEDY EXCLUSIVE. No remedy set forth herein conferred upon or
reserved to the City shall be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given under the Development Contract; provided, however, (i) the
remedies set forth herein shall be the sole remedies available to City in the event of a
Developer Default, and (ii) that the City shall not have the power to exercise both the
remedy provided by Section 7.1(C) and, concurrently or sequentially, the remedy
provided by Section 7.1(E), to the extent that the remedy in Section 7.1(C) provides
reimbursement to the City for any costs and expenses incurred by the City. No delay
or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right
and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the City to exercise any remedy reserved to it, it shall
not be necessary to give notice, other than the Formal Notice.
ARTICLE 8
ESCROW DEPOSIT
8.1. ESCROW REQUIREMENT. Contemporaneously herewith and to assure
completion of the Developer Public Improvements the Developer shall deposit with
the City a cash deposit in the amount of $23,400 , as set forth on Exhibit C (the
“Security”) The total escrow amount was calculated as shown on the attached Exhibit
C. The cash deposit shall continue to be in full force and effect until released by the
City pursuant to Section 8.2 below. Except as set forth below, the Security shall be
maintained until the Developer Public Improvements have been accepted by the City
and the warranty period under Section 4.2(D) hereof has expired. The Security shall
secure compliance by the Developer to construct the Developer Public Improvements
according to the Development Plans and the City standards and specifications and in
accordance with the terms of this Development Contract. The City may draw down
on the Security upon the occurrence of a default of the Developer to construct the
141
Item 13.
10
Developer Public Improvements according to the Development Plans and the City
standards and specifications and in accordance with the terms of this Development
Contract, following the notice and cure periods provided for in Section 7.1 hereof.
With City approval, the Security may be reduced pursuant to Section 8.2 from time to
time as financial obligations are paid.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Developer, in its sole
discretion, may elect, on or after the date that the Developer Public Improvements are
accepted by the City in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof, to provide to the City an
irrevocable letter of credit to replace the Security being held by the City. The
irrevocable letter of credit shall be in an amount equal to the then required amount of
Security and shall be in such form and substance as reasonably approved by the City
Finance Director and City Attorney. Such irrevocable letter of credit shall state that
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date thereof the issuance bank will
notify the City if the issuing bank elects not to renew the letter of credit for an
additional period. The City shall return to Developer any cash deposit serving as
Security under the terms of this Development Contract within three (3) business days
of Developer providing an acceptable irrevocable letter of credit.
8.2. ESCROW RELEASE AND ESCROW INCREASE; DEVELOPER PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS. Periodically, upon the Developer’s written request and upon
completion by the Developer and acceptance by the City of any specific Developer
Public Improvements, the Security may be reduced to an amount such that the
percentage of the Security that has been released is proportional to the percentage of
the Developer Public Improvements that have been completed, measured in terms of
costs under the approved Development Plans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, thirty-
four percent (34%) of the Security shall be held by the City until such time that the
landscaping components of the Developer Public Improvements have been accepted
by the City and the warranty period under Section 4.2(D) hereof has expired. In the
alternative, provided at least ninety percent (90%) of the Developer Public
Improvements have been completed, the Developer may post a bond or irrevocable
letter of credit satisfactory to the City in an amount equal to thirty-four percent
(34%) of the Security, which shall remain in place until the landscaping components
of the Developer Public Improvements have been accepted by the City and the
warranty period under Section 4.2(D) hereof has expired.

Development Property, Developer shall submit to City Representative and
obtain City Representative’s written approval of Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the Development Property. Developer’s
SWPPP must meet the Best Management Practices standards set by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and City standards. Developer’s
SWPPP shall include all perimeter erosion control features, turf restoration
procedures, concrete truck washout areas and any other best management
practices to be utilized within the Project.
C. Stormwater Facilities Construction. “Stormwater Facilities” shall include:
detention basins, retention basins, filtration systems (such as rainwater
gardens, vegetated swales, infiltration basins, vegetated filters, filter strips,
curbless parking lot islands, parking lot islands with curb-cuts, traffic islands,
tree box filters, bioretention systems or infiltration trenches), underground
systems (such as media filters, underground sand filters, underground vaults,
sedimentation chambers, underground infiltration systems, pre-manufactured
pipes, modular structures, hydrodynamic separators, and such other similar
facilities as are necessary for the achievement of stormwater management
objectives as would be accomplished by the above-referenced facilities.
Stormwater Facilities shall be maintained by the Developer during
construction of the Project and for a minimum of two (2) full growing seasons
after completion of the Project to ensure that soil compaction, erosion,
clogging, vegetation loss, channelization of flow or accumulation of sediment
are not occurring, and thereafter by the Owner of the Property. Planting and
maintenance plans, as applicable, for the installation of Stormwater Facilities,
shall be submitted to the City Representative prior to any building permits
being issued for the Project. Developer shall employ a qualified design
professional to monitor construction of the Stormwater Facilities for
conformance to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency publication entitled
“Minnesota Stormwater Manual” current edition. Maintenance techniques
must be used during construction to protect the infiltration capacity of all
Stormwater Facilities by limiting soil compaction to the greatest extent
possible. This must include delineation of the proposed infiltration system
with erosion control fencing prior to construction; installation of the
infiltration system using low-impact earth moving equipment; and not
allowing equipment, vehicles, supplies or other materials to be stored or
allowed in the areas designated for Stormwater Facilities during construction.
145
Item 13.
14
In areas of structural infiltration Developer shall prior to construction of the
infiltration system provide a plan that addresses: (i) construction management
practices to assure infiltration systems will be functional; (ii), erosion control
measures; (iii) infiltration capacity; (iv) performance specifications that the
completed infiltration systems must meet to be considered functional by the
City and (v) corrective actions that will be taken if the infiltration system does
not meet the performance specification. All Stormwater Facilities must be
inspected prior to final grading to ensure that the area is infiltrating as
proposed and to determine if corrective measures are required to allow
infiltration as proposed.
D. Stormwater Facilities Monitoring. Field verification of post-construction
infiltration rates must be provided to the City within 30 days after the first
rainfall event of ½ inch or greater after the Stormwater Facilities become
operational. If infiltration rates are less than what was proposed to the City
Representative in the planting and maintenance plans referenced in Section
9.15(C) hereof, a plan to restore adequate infiltration must be provided within
90-days of the field verification test. The work required to bring the
Stormwater Facilities into compliance must be implemented within 60 days of
City approval of the plan. Pervious surfaces shall be stabilized with seed and
mulch or sod and all impervious surfaces must be completed prior to final
grading and planting of the Stormwater Facilities. If requested, Developer
shall grant to any watershed district with jurisdiction over the Development
Property (including the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization),
easements relating to the maintenance and monitoring of the Stormwater
Facilities, in form and substance as is customary for such easements.
9.16. TERMINATION AND RELEASE OF DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT.

the Development Plans, the City will furnish the Developer with a Certificate of
Completion for the Developer Improvements in a form acceptable for recording in the
Anoka County Recorder’s Office and/or the Anoka County Registrar of Titles’
Office. The Certificate of Completion shall be substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit E and shall be furnished by the City within thirty (30) days after
requested by the Developer, and shall conclusively satisfy and terminate this
Development Contract, including, without limitation, the Developer’s obligations
hereunder, other than those obligations set forth in Sections 2.9, 4.2D, 8.1, 8.2, and
9.12.B.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
MEETING DATE MAY 23, 2022
ITEM: Annual declaration that the City of Columbia Heights does NOT waive the monetary limits on the
Municipal Tort Liability under Minnesota Statues, Section 466.04.
DEPARTMENT: Finance BY/DATE: Joseph Kloiber, Finance Director/ May 17
CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below)
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
X Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services

BACKGROUND:
The City purchases its liability insurance from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). Staff is
currently preparing the renewal application for the policy period June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023. The
LMCIT requires that member cities document annually whether or not they waive the tort liability limits
established for municipalities by Minnesota Statutes, Section 466.04.
With certain exceptions, the City’s general liability insurance provides up to $2 million per claim and up to $3
million in aggregate claims per year. In addition, the City carries coverage termed “excess liability” or
“umbrella” coverage for up to an additional $1 million. Minnesota Statutes Section 466.04 however, limits a
city’s liability for certain types of claims to less than this policy coverage. If the City does not waive these
lower limits provided by statute, LMCIT will only payout the (lower) statutory limit for any applicable claims.
Consequently, the LMCIT prices its liability premiums lower for Cities that do not waive the statutory limits.
The City’s insurance agent is aware of no MN cities that chose to waive these statutory limits for the most
recent policy period. Staff estimates that the annual savings in premium costs for the City of Columbia Heights
are $15,000 by not waiving the statutory limits.
The attached information from LMCIT provides additional detail on the effects of waiving or not waiving the
statutory limits under different scenarios.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to declare that the City of Columbia Heights does NOT waive the monetary limits on
municipal tort liability under Minnesota Statutes, section 466.04.
