about losing the communications coordinator position funding.

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 01, 2023
City Council Work Session Page 2
properties in the City would not be alerted at the same time, it would be rolled out slowly,
and in a targeted way.
Director Kloiber stated that we have about $700,000 saved, and it would be nice to not
have to do a debt service of longer than 15 years (any longer than the warranty on the
meters).
Councilmember Buesgens inquired about the accuracy of the new meters. She wanted to
know how this could impact community members to be more mindful of their water usage.
Director Hauth stated that there would be improved customer service by residents being
able to see their water usage more accurately.

Interim City Manager Kevin Hansen gave an overview on this item. The Council was in
support of using the application that was in the meeting packet.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she tries to keep the third week of the month less busy,
as many of the Councilmembers are working multiple jobs. She would prefer to have this
Commission meet on the second Tuesday of the Month.
There was further discussion of the time and date of the meeting, and it was determined
that it would be scheduled the second Tuesday of the month at 6pm and the Commission
could determine if the date and time needed to be changed based on the members needs.
The Council discussed having interviews on June 26th: from 4-5:30 and 27th from 3 -6pm

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 01, 2023
City Council Work Session Page 3
Councilmember Buesgens felt that this was a waste of taxpayer money to have separated
the meeting room from the library if we do not allow after-hours usage.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired if staff is inspecting the usage of the room when it is being
used. What if we have a trial of having the room open on only Thursday nights, and the
party renting the room must be there when Staff is there to open the room.
Councilmember James stated that it would be odd to have a City Room without staffing.
Councilmember Jacobs wants to have someone from the Library Staff available to check
the room. She would love to have the room open longer, there is a liability to the staff who
maybe coming into the building.
Councilmember Spriggs wanted to clarify why we are not directing people to utilize Murzyn
Hall instead of the library. If we can budget for Staff to be available to supervise the room,
then he would feel more comfortable.
Interim City Manager Hansen suggested that we monitor the requests for the room to see
what the volume is.
Councilmember James inquired if “we take no action now” what occurs. She would be
interested in potentially having one night that is available after hours.
City Manager Hansen is going to follow up with the City of Fridley to find out what the City
of Fridley’s Fireside room policy is.
Director Dougherty will bring an extension of the hours back to the Library Board for
review based on the Council’s recommendations.
7. City Council Topics.
Muralists and New City Hall Art.
Councilmember James stated that Golden Valley has a great art policy. There should also
be a policy for the installation, maintenance and eventually replacement.
Councilmember Spriggs wants to make sure that the art that is chosen contributes and
promotes the history of the City not restricting it to only community members. He also
inquired how much a large mural cost. He also mentioned that it would be nice to
memorialize Medtronic by having public art with the theme of “Hearts of Heights”.
Interim City Manager Hansen stated that we should investigate starting a City Art Fund,
and clarified that a large mural can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $30,000.
Councilmember Buesgens would like to start a City Art Fund to start saving money and also
start an Arts Commission.
10
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 01, 2023
City Council Work Session Page 4
Councilmember Jacobs would like to have the artists displayed in City Hall be exclusively
from the City of Columbia Heights.
Council Compensation
Mayor Márquez Simula started the discussion on this topic by stating that she would like to
set up a schedule for when and how Council Compensation will be discussed.
Councilmember James would like to set a policy for when the Council reviews
compensation and that she will forward the policy she found from other cities to Interim
City Manager Hansen. She would like to see a policy of a standard two to four years to
review the compensation for Council.
Councilmember Spriggs stated that it would make sense if it were every four to five years.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that it would be negligent to not discuss this. She had a
discussion with the Mayor of Rochester and what the compensation was for the Council
there. Within the last year they did an increase for the Mayor of the average median
income and ten percent less than the average median income for the Council.
Councilmember James stated If there were to be any compensation increase it would be
approximately five percent. She would not expect to see the Council position as a half-time
position.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that the Council engagement level has increased. She also
feels that there is an increase in inflation, and the buying level is different.
Councilmember Buesgens stated that the engagement level has not change d, but the
means of engagement have changed. She does not see this job as something that she is
going to make money from, this is a form of public service for her.
Councilmember Jacobs stated that she does not feel that the work level has increased.
Councilmember James does not want to wait to have consensus to make a move on this,
she wants to keep the charter the same. She would like to have a policy related to salary
review, and not update the charter. She does not know what will happen in the future. She
feels that the work of the Council was valued at a certain level in 2008.
Councilmember Buesgens wanted to know what exactly Councilmember James wants from
a pay increase. She is concerned that this will impact on the benefits that the Council
receives.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that with the amount of money the Council makes they
could apply for health benefits from the State.
Councilmember James stated that she is bringing this up now because she feels that
incremental change.
11
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 01, 2023
City Council Work Session Page 5
Councilmember Spriggs stated that this would need to be a $30,000 to $40,000 job for
someone to be able to afford to be able to do this job. Incremental increase would be a
change in the right direction if someone was cutting back in their job from full ti me to part
time to attend meetings.
Interim City Manager Hansen clarified that there will need to be both a conversation for
the cost of living increase for the Council for 2025, and consideration of a policy. Hansen
stated that he will need to have a conversation with the City Attorney related to the policy
and will also review this topic with the League.
Councilmember Spriggs asked if there was way to have the increase staggered based on
the reelection.
Interim City Manager clarified that the Council votes as a whole for their salary and this can
not be staggered.
Mayor Márquez Simula would like to complete the increase this year with the City’s best
interest at heart and put it to a vote soon, so it is not on the agenda for next year.
The Council consensus was around a cost-of-living increase. Interim City Manager Hansen
will speak with the City Attorney to work on the process for what would be needed for a
cost-of-living adjustment.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Márquez Simula adjourned the meeting at 8:50pm.
Respectfully Submitted,

Facebook so it could be easily shared. Interim City Manager Hansen stated that could be done.
COMMUNITY FORUM
City Resident, Earl McCoy stated he is inquiring about the Highlanders Center and stated the gym has
not been open to adults since Covid. He asked the Council if they could look into the Highlander Center
and see if it could be reopened for adults to play basketball and volleyball. Mayor Márquez Simula
mentioned she saw a post on Instagram from the School that mentioned some times that it is open.
City Resident, Steve Foreseth expressed how proud he is to be a citizen of Columbia Heights because of
the Council. He noted his excitement for the addition of Councilmember Spriggs and explained
Councilmember Spriggs just finished eight years of extensive education at the University of Minnesota
Medical School and was awarded his Doctor of Medicine degree. He congratulated Councilmember
Spriggs and thanked him for making the community proud, being actively engaging, and ethical. He
noted Councilmember Spriggs is planning on continuing an additional four years of education for
pediatrician and internal medicine degrees. He added he has seen Councilmember Spriggs actively fight
for the rights of the senior citizens that are being treated unfairly and Councilmember Spriggs serves
on City Committees. He noted the rest of the Council serves on a Committee except for one member.
He described how Councilmember Spriggs was honest and ethical.
Councilmember Jacobs noted Mr. Foreseth was speaking about an individual Councilmember instead
of the whole Council. Mayor Márquez Simula asked him to focus on the entire Council.

Mr. Foreseth noted the Council held an investigation and stated the results of the investigation were
that KT Jacobs was found guilty of lying. He asked what the Council’s position was on the citizen’s
Citywide mission to call for a recall vote to remove KT Jacobs from her position. He explained he was
working to dismantle racism from government positions and within the community.
City Resident, Jennifer Pyper Muno provided an update on the petition for a recall vote for
Councilmember KT Jacobs. She stated numerous meetings were held and they have engaged with
thousands of community members in difficult conversations regarding the events that happened last
summer. She added the efforts will continue until said Council person resigns or is formally removed
from office. She mentioned she was appalled after watching the February 2023 work session and
added this Council person “lacks accountability” and played “the victim”. She described objectional
behavior she found unacceptable and undermines public trust in the democratic process. She
mentioned the importance of leaders in authority to take ownership of their actions and be held
accountable for their mistakes. She stated she remains committed to addressing this issue and
ensuring those responsible are held accountable for their actions. She stated we must work towards a
culture of transparency, honesty, and accountability in our public officials. She reviewed the previous
Council’s action to censure, remove Committee responsibilities, and ask for a resignation. She asked
the Council where they stand on th is current issue since the Council person has refused to step down.
She commented on the recall committee’s efforts to obtain voter’s signatures on a recall petition and
stated they will continue to keep the Council informed of this campaign. She emphasized the
importance of accountability to regain the trust of the community.

WORK SESSION ITEMS
1. Public Art– Butterfly Sculpture.
Mayor Márquez Simula discussed the sculpture project that already has interest and
permission from HeightsNext. There is a local arts group that is looking to write a grant for
$15,000 in conjunction with HeightsNext for the butterfly project as a more inclusive
sculpture idea. This project will take time from the grant writing, art concept to creation.
Lominaki Park would be the first location of the sculpture.
Councilmember James and Spriggs also liked the idea of having these in each of the parks
and would like to further discuss having the “Hearts of Heights” related to Medtronics in
addition to the butterfly sculptures.
2. Piano in the Park.
Councilmember Buesgens clarified that it will cost about $325 to $400 to move a piano for
the park. She has requested information from Piano Streets.org related to the topic of a
piano in a community space. She has sent the information to Interim City Manager Kevin
Hansen for review. There needs to be liability coverage for the piano, and it will need to be
hosted by the City or Heights Next and an artist will need to be selected to paint it.
Councilmember James stated that The Methodist Church has reached out about donating
their piano. Pianos can handle the weather; it would be nice to have it by Kordiac park. It
was mentioned that Husset Park West, and the splash pad would be good locations as well.
3. Why Bad Street Design is Both Costly and Deadly.

the next several months working East to West.
7. Inequity in Homeownership.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired with the City Manager about doing a 3% rent cap increase
for senior citizens in the City. This was discussed with Jim Hoeft the City Attorney this
morning and further research will be conducted and the topic can be discussed at a future
work session. The City Attorney did not feel this was something that could be enacted
without impacting all renters in the City. This could potentially impact the rainbow site in a
negative manner, and this should be considered with moving this issue forward.
Councilmember Spriggs asked a question to Assistant City Manager Chirpich about the
current 4D tax bill at the State level. Chirpich will review the information and follow up
with the Council.

moment of silence at meetings for victims of gun violence and tragedies that are occurring.
She has recently joined a Mayors Against Gun Violence Group.
She would like to have a small Memorial Day ceremony; she reached out to the VFW and
they are not able to run the Ceremony. She reached out to Councilmember James to see if

MEETING DATE MAY 22, 2023
ITEM: 2024 Water Meter Replacement Equipment Purchase.
DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: James Hauth / May 17, 2023
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
_Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability X Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND: Water meters are an essential component of a city's water distribution system as they measure
the amount of water consumed by each household or business. Accurate readings are crucial for billing purposes
and for identifying leaks in a plumbing system. However, older water meters may become less accurate over
time, leading to underestimation of water usage.
Columbia Heights Public Works installed residential meters in 1999/2000. The Sensus SRII meters currently
installed have a life expectancy of 20 years. The meters have reached the end of their useful life, and as a result,
have become less accurate and the failure rate has increased. This can lead to discrepancies in water usage
readings and the city not collecting the appropriate revenue to maintain and improve the water infrastructure.
The Sensus iPERL meter comes with a warranty that covers the full cost of replacement for the first 15 years and
a prorated additional 5-year warranty.
Along with the installation of new meters, a new radio will be installed at all residential properties. The new
Sensus radios communicate on a fixed network and can relay readings and usage information to a database
multiple times per day. This increased reading interval will allow residents to view their accounts and usage as
often as they like and identify leaks or high usage before they become expensive. The radio units have the same
15-year full replacement warranty and 5-year prorated warranty.
The procurement of the water meters will be on a sole source basis. Staff identified criteria necessary to meet
current departmental needs and selected the iPERL meter from Sensus as the only meter available. Core and
Main is the sole source supplier of Sensus metering technology in the state of Minnesota.
Current meter counts identify 6,004 residential water meters in need of replacement at a quoted cost from Core
& Main of $995,375.00. There are 6,150 radio units that need to be replaced at a cost of $811,562.50. The
centralized reading station, software, and programming support have a quoted cost of $148,040.29. The total
cost of equipment and services being purchased for installation in 2024 is quoted at $1,954,977.79. The labor
costs to install the meters and radios will be competitively bid in late 2023 for a contract in 2024. The cost of
the project will be funded substantially through debt service for both water (631) and sewer (632) and the bonds
issued in 2023 or 2024 will be repaid using the residential water meter fee.

Item 4.
From: Jim Hauth – Acting Public Works Director
To: Joe Kloiber – Finance Director
Subject: Sole Source Justification for Sensus iPERL Meters
I am writing to inform you of the justification for sole source procurement of Sensus iPERL meters for our
2024 residential water meter replacement project. After careful evaluation and consideration of various
metering technologies and suppliers, we have determined that Sensus iPERL meters are the only suitable
option to meet our specific requirements. The purpose of this letter is to provide a comprehensive
justification for the sole source procurement.
Continuity of Metering Technology:
Sensus iPERL meters offer robust and proven metering technology that aligns with our organization's
current infrastructure and system requirements. The iPERL technology has a strong track record of
reliable and accurate performance, ensuring the consistent and precise measurement of water
consumption. With over 300 Sensus iPERL meters and more than 150 M Radios installed in our system
already, the continuity of technology will ensure better and more reliable service to residents. By
installing Sensus products we ensure a seamless fixed network system, read from a single location and
available in one database.
Electromagnetic Meters in Sizes 5/8"-1" Availability:
We have identified a specific need for electromagnetic meters in the sizes of 5/8" to 1". Sensus iPERL is
the only available electromagnetic (Mag) meter available on the market in the size range mentioned.
Mag meters have no moving parts and a high degree of accuracy. The elimination of positive
displacement meters in the system will reduce the number of repairs and replacements required over
the lifespan of the meters. This will reduce costs and interruptions for both the city and residents. This
availability also ensures compatibility with our existing metering infrastructure, minimizing the need for
additional modifications.
15-Year Full Replacement Warranty:
Sensus stands behind the quality and durability of their iPERL meters by offering a comprehensive 15-
year full replacement warranty followed by a 5-year prorated warranty. This warranty provides us with
the assurance that any malfunctioning or faulty meters will be promptly replaced without incurring
additional costs, reducing the potential financial burden, and ensuring uninterrupted metering services
for our customers. Sensus is the only metering company to provide such a robust warranty.
End Points with 3-Wire Capability and Dual Port Radio Availability:
In addition to the primary metering requirements, we require end points that offer 3-wire capability and
dual port radio availability. Sensus M Radios fulfill these specifications, providing the necessary flexibility
25
Item 4.
and compatibility with our existing infrastructure. The 3-wire capability and dual port radio availability
enable seamless integration and efficient data transmission, ensuring accurate meter readings and
reliable communication. This technology works with the current system and will simplify the installation
and maintenance throughout our network. The endpoints also come with the 15-year full replacement
warranty and 5-year prorated warranty.
Considering the aforementioned factors, it is clear only Sensus iPERL meters are uniquely suited to meet
our organization's specific needs and requirements. No other supplier or meter combines all these
factors into one system and allows the city to integrate the entire metering infrastructure on a fixed
network. Sensus owns and operates proprietary FCC frequencies for meter reading which allows for
seamless integration with our existing software and process.
Core and Main is the sole source vendor of Sensus products in Minnesota.
Sincerely,
Jim Hauth

In July of 2021, the City partnered with Alatus LLC, to acquire the priority redevelopment site at 4300 Central
Avenue NE. To facilitate the acquisition and redevelopment of the site, the City made a bridge loan to Alatus
to purchase the property, demolish the existing buildings, and cover costs associated with environmental
testing and clearance. To provide the loan, the City issued Taxable General Obligation Temporary Tax
Increment Bonds. The City then used the bond funds to make a loan to Alatus for the purchase of the site. The
maximum principal amount of the loan issued to Alatus was $5,935,000. The bond/loan proceeds are held in
escrow with a title company and the funds are distributed when eligible expenses are incurred by Alatus. The
maturity date of the loan is currently set as July 31, 2023.
At the time of making the loan to Alatus, it was expected by both parties that the redevelopment of 4300
Central Avenue NE would be underway before the maturity date. To repay the City’s loan, Alatus needs to
close on permanent financing for phase one of the project. Due to market conditions, the project has been
delayed and phase one is now expected to start in late 2023, or the spring of 2024. This means that Alatus will
need more time to repay the City’s loan. To achieve this objective, staff have worked with the City’s
redevelopment counsel at Kenndy and Graven to prepare the attached loan m odification documents. Staff
and the City’s counsel are recommending an extension of the repayment date to December 15, 2023. In
addition to an extension of the maturity date, the revised loan documents also extend the final draw date to
October31, 2023. This date sets a new limit for when Alatus can seek reimbursement for eligible costs.
In addition to the loan maturity deadline with Alatus, the City needs to consider its plans for repayment of the
bonds. The bonds currently have a maturity date of February 1, 2024. Under the original redevelopment plan,
Alatus would repay the City’s loan, and the City would then use the proceeds of the loan repayment to pay off
the bonds. At the February 1, 2024, deadline, the bonds must be repaid whether or not Alatus has closed on
their phase one permanent financing. In other words, the City is ultimately responsible for repayment of the
bonds, whether Alatus is ready to pay off the loan or not. Due to the delay in getting the project started, the
City and Alatus may have to consider a second bond issuance to extend th e temporary financing period for the
benefit of both parties. Under this scenario, the City would issue a new series of bonds to pay off the first

series and issue a new loan to Alatus. This solution would provide an additional two years for Alatus to close
on their first phase of permanent financing. This potential scenario was contemplated and discussed in 2021
when the City agreed to partner on this project. Ideally, this option will be avoided and used as a last resort, as
it is inefficient from a bond issuance cost perspective. A new bond issuance will also be subject to current
interest rates and increase the total cost of borrowing for the project. All additional costs under this scenario
will be paid by Alatus and not the City.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
Right now, the most important consideration for Alatus and the City is to amend the loan terms and extend
the maturity date of the loan. This action will provide the space necessary to determine if a second bond
issuance is necessary. Alatus does have a chance of closing on financing before the bond maturity date, but
the window is narrowing. The City and Alatus will work together to move the project along as quickly as
possible and decide on a second bond issuance sometime in early October.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2023-27, a resolution approving the loan modification requested by
Alatus. This modification will give the City and Alatus the time needed to further the development plans for
the site and potentially issue a second series of bonds if necessary.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2023-27, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2023-27, a resolution approving modification of certain terms of a
loan from the City to Alatus Columbia Heights II LLC, and approving forms of amended and restated loan
documents.

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-27
RESOLUTION APPROVING MODIFICATION OF CERTAIN TERMS OF A
LOAN FROM THE CITY TO ALATUS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS II LLC AND
APPROVING FORMS OF AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN DOCUMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the “City Council”) of the City of Columbia Heights,
Minnesota (the “City”) as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. In order to facilitate the acquisition by Alatus Columbia Heights II LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Borrower”), of certain property located at 4300 Central Avenue NE in the City (the
“Property”), within the Alatus TIF District (the “TIF District”), a redevelopment district located within the
Downtown Central Business Redevelopment Project in the City (the “Redevelopment Project”), the
Borrower requested a bridge loan from the City to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Property,
legal, closing, and other transaction costs associated therewith, costs of demolition, and costs associated with
reports (collectively, the “Project Costs”), all of which are qualified public redevelopment costs reimbursable
from tax increment under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF
Act”).
1.02. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Loan Agreement, dated July 29, 2021 (the
“Original Loan Agreement”), between the City and the Borrower, the City loaned to the Borrower the sum of
$5,935,000 (the “Loan”), from proceeds of a Taxable General Obligation Temporary Tax Increment Bond,
Series 2021A, issued by the City in the original aggregate principal amount of $5,935,000 (the “Bond”), to
finance a portion of the Project Costs. The Loan is evidenced by a Promissory Note, dated July 29, 2021 (the
“Original Note”), payable by the Borrower to the City. The Original Note is secured by a Mortgage, dated
July 29, 2021 (the “Original Mortgage”), by the Borrower in favor of the City. In addition, the Borrower, the
City and Commercial Partners Title (“Title”) executed an Escrow Agreement, dated July 29, 2021 (the
“Original Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Title, as escrow agent, holds a portion of the Loan in
escrow for disbursement to the Borrower to pay for Project Costs.
1.03. As provided in Section 2(a) of the Original Loan Agreement, the entire unpaid amount of
principal of the Loan, plus interest equal to the amount of interest paid by the City in excess of the par
amount of the Bond, if any, is due and payable on July 31, 2023 (the “Original Loan Payment Date”), unless
prepaid earlier. The maturity date of the Original Note and the Original Mortgage is the Original Loan
Payment Date (July 31, 2023).
1.04. Section 2(a) of the Original Loan Agreement also provides that the Columbia Heights
Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) and the Borrower (or an affiliate) must in good faith
negotiate and work toward execution of a definitive Purchase and Redevelopment Contract (the “Contract”)
as contemplated under the Preliminary Development Agreement (the “Preliminary Agreement”) with respect
to the redevelopment of the Property for the construction of a mixed-use (multifamily residential and
commercial) development thereon, which Contract must set forth the terms of reimbursement by the
Authority to the Borrower of qualified redevelopment costs of the Redevelopment Project pursuant to the TIF
Act. If the parties are unable to successfully negotiate and execute the Contract prior to the Loan Payment

Date, then under Section 2(a) of the Original Loan Agreement the Borrower must convey title to the Property
to the City in full satisfaction of the unpaid balance of the Loan and any interest thereon, at which time the
Borrower will be released from the Original Loan Agreement, the Original Note and the Original Mortgage,
and will have no further liability thereunder and under the Original Escrow Agreement.
1.05. The Borrower has represented to the City that it anticipates repaying the Loan from proceeds
of short-term financing, long-term mortgage financing, a bridge loan with a long-term take-out financing
commitment, or a combination of the foregoing, but that closing on such financing has been delayed and is
now expected to occur after the Loan Payment Date. Accordingly, the Borrower has requested a
modification to the terms of the Loan to extend the Loan Payment Date to a date not later than December 15,
2023, and to make a corresponding extension of the final draw date of the Loan to a date not later than
October 31, 2023. The parties propose to further modify the terms of the Loan to provide that conveyance of
title to the Property shall also occur if the Borrower does not close on the financing described in this Section
1.05 prior to the Loan Payment Date, as hereinafter extended.
1.06. Forms of documents modifying the Loan as provided in Section 1.05 hereof, including an
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, an Amended and Restated Promissory Note, an Amended and
Restated Mortgage, and an Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement (collectively, the “Amended and
Restated Loan Documents”), have been prepared and are on file with the City.
Section 2. Authority Approval; Other Proceedings.
2.01. The Amended and Restated Loan Documents as presented to the City Council are hereby in all
respects approved, subject to modifications that do not alter the substance of the transaction and that are
approved by the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that execution of the Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement and the Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement by such officials shall be conclusive evidence
of approval.
2.02. The Mayor and the City Manager are hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the City the
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated Escrow Agreement, and any
documents referenced therein requiring execution by the City, and to carry out on behalf of the City its
obligations thereunder.
2.03. City staff and consultants are authorized to take any actions necessary to carry out the intent of
this resolution.

expenses, and attorneys’ fees, shall bear interest thereon at the rate then in effect on the
Note, if any, shall be secured hereby, shall be added to the Loan, and the Borrower shall
reimburse the Lender for the same immediately upon demand, and upon the failure of the
Borrower to do so, the Lender may declare the Loan immediately due and payable;
provided, however, that if the Lender declares the Loan immediately due and payable under
this Section, then the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey title to the
Property to the Lender, in full satisfaction of the unpaid balance of the Loan and any interest

$5,935,000 Originally dated: July 29, 2021
Amended and restated: [_______], 2023
Alatus Columbia Heights II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Maker”), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to the City of Columbia Heights, a home rule city organized
under its Charter and the laws of the State of Minnesota, or its assigns (collectively, the “Holder”),
at its designated principal office or such other place as the Holder may designate in writing, the
principal sum of Five Million Nine Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and no/100ths Dollars
($5,935,000.00), or so much thereof as is advanced for the payment or reimbursement of Project
Costs, with interest thereon from the date hereof as hereinafter provided, in any coin or currency that
at the time or times of payment is legal tender for the payment of private debts in the United States of
America. This Amended and Restated Promissory Note (“Note”) amends, restates, replaces and
supersedes the Promissory Note, dated July 29, 2021, from the Maker to the Holder. The principal
of and interest on this Note are payable as follows:
1. The entire unpaid amount of principal of this Note, plus interest equal to the amount
of interest paid by the City in excess of the par amount of the Bond, if any, shall be due and payable
on December 15, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), unless prepaid earlier, subject to the terms set forth in
Section 2 of the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan
Agreement”) between the Holder and the Maker. The aggregate principal amount of all advances
that the Holder may be required to fund pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall not exceed Five Million
Nine Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100ths Dollars ($5,935,000.00). Capitalized terms used
herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.
3. The Maker shall have the right to prepay the principal of this Note, in whole or in part,
on any date. The amount to be prepaid shall consist of the principal amount, plus any interest paid by
the City in excess of the par amount of the Bond as of the date of prepayment.
4. This Note is given pursuant to the Loan Agreement and secured by an Amended and
Restated Mortgage of even date herewith (the “Mortgage”) delivered by the Maker.
All of the agreements, conditions, covenants, provisions, and stipulations contained in the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, or any other instrument securing this Note are hereby made a part of
this Note to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if they were fully set forth herein.
It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Note. If an Event of Default occurs under the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage, or any other instrument securing this Note, then the Holder of this Note
may at its right and option, without notice, declare immediately due and payable the principal balance
of this Note and interest accrued thereon, if any, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
incurred by the Holder of this Note in collecting or enforcing payment hereof, whether by lawsuit or
otherwise, and all other sums due hereunder or any instrument securing this Note; provided, however,
81
Item 9.
2
CL162-66-870132.v1
that if the Holder declares the principal balance of this Note and interest accrued thereon, if any,
immediately due and payable or pursues any other available remedies under this Note, then the Maker
may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey title to the Property to the Holder in full satisfaction of the
unpaid balance of the Loan and any interest thereon, and in that event, the Holder shall release the
Maker from its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the
Mortgage, and the Maker shall have no further liability under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the
Escrow Agreement, and the Mortgage.
5. The remedies of the Holder of this Note as provided herein, and in the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage, or any other instrument securing this Note shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively, or together, and, at the sole discretion of the
Holder of this Note, may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to
exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof.
The Holder of this Note shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have
waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the
Holder and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. A waiver with reference to one
event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a
subsequent event. This Note may not be amended, modified, or changed except only by an instrument
in writing signed by the Maker and Holder.
6. If any term of this Note, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances
shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note, or the application of such
term to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be
affected thereby, and each term of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
7. It is intended that this Note is made with reference to and shall be construed as a
Minnesota contract and is governed by the laws thereof. Any disputes, controversies, or claims arising
out of this Note shall be heard in the state or federal courts of Minnesota, and all parties to this Note
waive any objection to the jurisdiction of these courts, whether based on convenience or otherwise.
8. The performance or observance of any promise or condition set forth in this Note may
be waived, amended, or modified only by a writing signed by the Maker and the Holder. No delay in
the exercise of any power, right, or remedy operates as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any other power, right, or remedy.
9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Escrow Agreement, and the Mortgage, neither the Maker nor any member, officer, director,
governor, direct or indirect owner, employee or agent of the Maker shall have any personal liability
for the Maker’s obligations hereunder, it being recognized by the Holder that the obligations
hereunder are non-recourse obligations and that the remedies of the Holder are limited to the security
provided in connection with the Mortgage given by the Maker in favor of the Holder.

AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED MORTGAGE is made this ___ day of ________,
2023 (the “Mortgage”), by Alatus Columbia Heights II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(the “Mortgagor”), in favor of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, a home rule city
organized under its Charter and the laws of the State of Minnesota, whose address is 590 40th
Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421 (the “Mortgagee”), amends and restates that
certain Mortgage, dated July 29, 2021, filed in the office of the County Recorder/Registrar of Titles
of Anoka County, Minnesota on August 9, 2021, as Document No. 591491.002.
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated July 29, 2021, as amended and restated
by an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”)
between the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor is indebted to the Mortgagee in the
principal sum of U.S. $5,935,000, which indebtedness is evidenced by the Mortgagor’s Promissory
Note, dated July 29, 2021, as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Promissory Note
of even date herewith (the “Note”) and any extensions and renewals thereof, providing for
principal and interest, if any, if not sooner paid, due and payable on the maturity date set forth in
the Note or such other date as specified in the Note.
TO SECURE to the Mortgagee the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note,
with interest, thereon, if any, and all renewals, extensions and modifications; the payment of all
other sums, with interest thereon, if any, advanced in accordance herewith to protect the security
of this Mortgage; and the performance by the Mortgagor of the covenants by the Mortgagor and
agreements contained herein and contained in the Note. The Mortgagor does hereby mortgage,
grant and convey to the Mortgagee the property located in the County of Anoka, State of Minnesota

TOGETHER with all the improvements now or hereafter erected on the property, and all
easements, rights, appurtenances and rents, all of which shall be deemed to be and remain a part

CL162-66-870135.v1
of the property covered by this Mortgage; and all of the foregoing, together with said property (or
the leasehold estate if this Mortgage is on a leasehold) are hereinafter referred to as the “Property.”
THE MORTGAGOR COVENANTS that the Mortgagor is lawfully seized of the estate
hereby conveyed and has the right to grant and convey the Property, and that the Property is
unencumbered, except for all matters, liens, and encumbrances appearing on the Mortgagee’s loan
policy of title insurance issued by Commercial Partners Title, a Division of Chicago Title
Insurance Company, a Florida corporation, on August 9, 2021, with File Number 58271 and Policy
No. 72307-224772669 (the “Permitted Encumbrances”). The Mortgagor covenants that the
Mortgagor warrants and will defend generally the title to the Property against all claims and
demands, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances.
PROVIDED, NEVERTHELESS, that if the Mortgagor shall pay the Mortgagee the sums
evidenced by the Note according to the terms of the Note, and shall repay to the Mortgagee, at the
times and with interest, if any, as specified, all sums advanced in protecting the lien of this
Mortgage, in payment of taxes on the Property and assessments payable therewith, insurance
premiums covering buildings thereon, principal or interest on any prior liens, expenses and
attorney’s fees herein provided for and sums advanced for any other purpose authorized herein,
and shall keep and perform all the covenants and agreements herein contained, then this Mortgage
shall be released at the Mortgagor’s expense.
UNIFORM COVENANTS. The Mortgagor and the Mortgagee covenant and agree as
follows:
1. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Mortgagor shall promptly pay when due,
subject to the terms of the Note, the principal and interest, if any, indebtedness evidenced by the
Note and late charges as provided in the Note, and keep and perform all covenants contained in
the Note.
2. Application of Payments. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, all
payments received by the Mortgagee under the Note and Paragraph 1 hereof shall be applied by
Mortgagee first to interest payable on the Note, if any, and then to the principal of the Note.
3. Charges; Liens. The Mortgagor shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes,
assessments and other charges, fines and impositions attributable to the Property which may
attain a priority over this Mortgage, leasehold payments or ground rents, if any.
4. Hazard Insurance.
(a) The Mortgagor shall keep the improvements now existing on the Property insured
against loss by fire and other hazards included within the term “extended coverage” so long as
the improvements now existing on the Property are occupied by a tenant with a leasehold interest
in the Property (a “Tenant”).
86
Item 9.
3
CL162-66-870135.v1
(b) The Mortgagor shall keep the improvements hereafter erected by the Mortgagor
on the Property insured against loss by fire and other hazards included within the term “extended
coverage.”
5. Preservation and Maintenance of Property; Leaseholds. The Mortgagor shall
keep the portion of the improvements now existing on the Property that are occupied by a Tenant
in good repair and shall not commit waste or permit impairment or deterioration of such
improvements so long as such improvements are occupied by a Tenant. The Mortgagor shall
comply with the provisions of any lease so long as there is a leasehold interest in the Property.
6. Protection of Mortgagee’s Security. If the Mortgagor fails to perform the
covenants and agreements contained in this Mortgage, the Note, or in any other document
executed in connection with this Mortgage, or if any action or proceeding is commenced which
materially affects the Mortgagee’s interest in the Property, then the Mortgagee, at Mortgagee’s
option, upon notice to the Mortgagor, may make such appearances, disburse such sums,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and take such other action as is necessary to protect the
Mortgagee’s interest.
Any amounts disbursed by the Mortgagee pursuant to this Paragraph 6, with interest
thereon, if any, at the Note rate, shall become additional indebtedness of the Mortgagor secured
by this Mortgage. Unless the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee agree to other terms of payment,
such amounts shall be payable upon notice from the Mortgagee to the Mortgagor requesting
payment thereof. Nothing contained in this Paragraph 6 shall require the Mortgagee to incur any
expense or take any action hereunder.
7. Inspection. Subject to the rights of any Tenant, the Mortgagee may make or cause
to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property, provided that the Mortgagee
shall give the Mortgagor notice prior to any such inspection specifying reasonable cause therefor
related to the Mortgagee’s interest in the Property.
8. Mortgagor Not Released; Forbearance by Mortgagee Not a Waiver. Extension
of the time for payment or modification of amortization of the sums secured by this Mortgage,
granted by the Mortgagee to any successor in interest of the Mortgagor, shall not operate to
release, in any manner, the liability of the original Mortgagor and the Mortgagor’s successors in
interest. The Mortgagee shall not be required to commence proceedings against such successor
or refuse to extend time for payment or otherwise modify amortization of the sums secured by
this Mortgage by reason of any demand made by the original Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagor’s
successors in interest. Any forbearance by the Mortgagee in exercising any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the
exercise of any such right or remedy.
9. Successors and Assigns Bound. The covenants and agreements herein contained
shall bind, and the rights hereunder shall inure to, the respective successors and assigns of the
Mortgagee and the Mortgagor, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 13 hereof.
87
Item 9.
4
CL162-66-870135.v1
10. Notice. Except for any notice required under applicable law to be given in
another manner, (a) any notice to the Mortgagor provided for in this Mortgage shall be given, in
writing and by personally delivering it or by mailing such notice by certified mail to the
Mortgagor’s address provided herein or such other address as the Mortgagor may designate by
notice to the Mortgagee as provided herein, and (b) any notice to the Mortgagee shall be given
in writing and by certified mail to the Mortgagee’s address provided herein or to such other
address as the Mortgagee may designate by notice to Mortgagor as provided herein. Any notice
provided for in the Mortgage shall be deemed to have been given to the Mortgagor or the
Mortgagee upon receipt when served personally, or upon mailing when sent by certified mail
when given in the manner designated herein.
11. Governing Law; Severalties. The state and local laws applicable to this Mortgage
shall be the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. The foregoing sentence
shall not limit the applicability of Federal law to this Mortgage. In the event that any provision
or clause of this Mortgage or the Note conflicts with applicable law, such conflict shall not affect
other provisions of this Mortgage or the Note which can be given effect without the conflicting
provision, and to this end, the provisions of this Mortgage and the Note are declared to be
severable. As used herein, “costs,” “expenses” and “attorneys’ fees” include all sums to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law. No provision of this Mortgage shall require the
Mortgagor to pay costs, expenses, or attorneys’ fees incurred by Mortgagee in excess of
commercially reasonable amounts.
12. Mortgagor’s Copy. The Mortgagor shall be furnished by the Mortgagee with a
conformed copy of the Note and of this Mortgage at the time of execution or after recordation
hereof.
13. Transfer of the Property or a Beneficial Interest in Mortgagor. If the Mortgagor
sells or conveys all or any part of the Property or any interest in the Property (or if a beneficial
interest in the Mortgagor is sold or transferred and the Mortgagor is not a national person)
without the Mortgagee’s prior written consent, the Mortgagee may, at its option, require
immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Mortgage; provided, however, that if the
Mortgagee requires the immediate payment in full of all sums secured by this Mortgage, then
the Mortgagor may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey title to the Property to the Mortgagee
in full satisfaction of the unpaid balance of the Loan and any interest thereon, and in that event,
the Mortgagee shall release the Mortgagor from this Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement,
and the Loan Agreement, and the Mortgagor shall have no further liability under this Mortgage,
the Note, the Escrow Agreement, and the Loan Agreement. However, the Mortgagee shall not
exercise its option if such exercise is prohibited by federal or state law as of the date of this
Mortgage.
If the Mortgagee exercises such option, the Mortgagee shall give the Mortgagor notice
of acceleration. The notice shall provide a period of not less than thirty (30) days from the date
the notice is delivered or mailed within which the Mortgagor must pay all sums secured by this
Mortgage or elect to convey title to the Property to the Mortgagee in lieu of such accelerated
payment. If the Mortgagor fails to pay these sums or to elect to convey title to the Mortgagee
88
Item 9.
5
CL162-66-870135.v1
prior to the expiration of this period, the Mortgagee may invoke any remedies permitted by this
Mortgage without further notice or demand on the Mortgagor.
14. Additional Covenants. The Mortgagor covenants (a) to warrant title to the
Property; (b) to pay all other mortgages, liens, charges or encumbrances against the Property as
and when they become due; (c) to pay the indebtedness of the Note as herein provided; (d) to
pay all real estate taxes on the Property; (e) that the Property shall be kept in repair and that no
waste shall be committed as provided in Paragraph 5; (f) that the Mortgagor shall keep any
buildings on the Property insured against loss by fire and other hazards for at least the sum of
the full insurable value of the Property for the protection of the Mortgagee as provided in
Paragraph 4; and (g) that the whole of the principal sum shall become due after default in the
payment of any installment of principal or interest, or of any tax, or in the performance of any
other covenant, at the option of the Mortgagee; provided, however, that if the Mortgagee declares
such a default and requires payment in full of all sums secured by this Mortgage, then the
Mortgagor may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey title to the Property to the Mortgagee in
full satisfaction of the unpaid balance of the Loan and any interest thereon, and in that event, the
Mortgagee shall release the Mortgagor from its obligations under this Mortgage, the Note, the
Escrow Agreement, and the Loan Agreement, and the Mortgagor shall have no further liability
under this Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement, and the Loan Agreement.
15. Acceleration; Remedies. Upon the Mortgagor’s breach of any covenant or
agreement of the Mortgagor in this Mortgage, including the covenants to pay when due any sums
secured by this Mortgage, the Mortgagee, prior to acceleration, shall give notice to Mortgagor
as provided in Paragraph 10 hereof specifying (1) the breach; (2) the action required to cure such
breach; (3) a date, not less than thirty (30) days from the date the notice is mailed to the
Mortgagor, by which such breach must be cured or within a longer period not to exceed sixty
(60) days if such cure cannot be rendered in thirty (30) days but is commenced within thirty (30)
days and continuously pursued; and (4) that failure to cure such breach on or before the date
specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the sums secured by this Mortgage and sale
of the Property. The notice shall further inform the Mortgagor of the right to reinstate after
acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the nonexistence of a default or any
other defense of the Mortgagor to acceleration and sale. If the breach is not cured on or before
the date specified in the notice, the Mortgagee, at the Mortgagee’s option, may declare all of the
sums secured by this Mortgage to be immediately due and payable without further demand;
provided, however, that if the Mortgagee declares all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to
be immediately due and payable, then the Mortgagor may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey
title to the Property to the Mortgagee in full satisfaction of the unpaid balance of the Loan and
any interest thereon, and in that event, the Mortgagee shall release the Mortgagor from this
Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement, and the Loan Agreement, and the Mortgagor shall
have no further liability under this Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement, and the Loan
Agreement. The Mortgagee shall be entitled to collect all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
in pursuing the remedies provided in this Paragraph 15, including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
16. Mortgagor’s Right to Reinstate. Notwithstanding the Mortgagee’s acceleration
of the sums secured by this Mortgage due as a result of the Mortgagor’s breach, if Mortgagor
89
Item 9.
6
CL162-66-870135.v1
meets certain conditions, the Mortgagor shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by
the Mortgagee to enforce this Mortgage discontinued at any time prior to the entry of a judgment
enforcing this Mortgage if: (a) the Mortgagor pays the Mortgagee all sums constituting the
default actually existing under this Mortgage and the Note at the time of the Mortgagee’s notice
to the Mortgagor of such default; (b) the Mortgagor cures all breaches of any other covenants or
agreements of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage; (c) the Mortgagor pays all reasonable
expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in enforcing the covenants and agreements of the Mortgagor
contained in this Mortgage, and in enforcing the Mortgagee’s remedies as provided in this
Mortgage including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; and (d) Mortgagor takes such
action as the Mortgagee may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Mortgage, the
Mortgagee’s interest in the Property and the Mortgagor’s obligation to pay the sums secured by
this Mortgage shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by the Mortgagor, this
Mortgage and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no
acceleration had occurred. However, this right to reinstate shall not apply in the case of
acceleration under Paragraph 15 hereof.
17. Release. Upon payment of all sums secured by this Mortgage, the Mortgagee
shall discharge this Mortgage without charge to the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor shall pay all
costs of recordation, if any.
18. Acceleration; Additional Provisions. The Mortgagee may declare all amounts
secured by this Mortgage due and payable if: (a) the Mortgagor omits or misrepresents a material
fact in any document executed in connection with this Mortgage; (b) any prior mortgage is in
default or foreclosure; or (c) as otherwise provided in this Mortgage or the Note; provided,
however, that if the Mortgagee declares all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be
immediately due and payable, then the Mortgagor may, in its sole discretion, elect to convey title
to the Property to the Mortgagee in full satisfaction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan
and any interest thereon, and in that event, the Mortgagee shall release the Mortgagor from its
obligations under this Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement, and the Loan Agreement, and
the Mortgagor shall have further liability under this Mortgage, the Note, the Escrow Agreement,
and the Loan Agreement.
19. Maturity Date. The maturity date of this Mortgage is December 15, 2023, subject
to the terms of the Note and Section 2 of the Loan Agreement.
20. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein that are otherwise not defined shall
have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.

ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2023-28 Accepting Donation of Sustainable Functional Art from Canvus, LLC.
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS BY/DATE: JIM HAUTH / May 17, 2023
CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below)
_Safe Community X Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
_Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
X Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND: The City of Columbia Heights was approached by Canvus LLC., a company based in Rocky River,
OH. They were interested in finding a partner to donate a “Welcome Collection” of functional art pieces to the
City of Columbia Heights. Their goal is to create and distribute sustainable seating and flower bed pieces to
companies, governmental organizations, schools, and other large campus organizations. The pieces they create
are sourced from recycled post-consumer materials. These materials include wind turbine blades that have
reached the end of their useful life, recycled rubber from tires and shoes, recycled film plastic, and surplus
textiles from carpeting, clothing, and PET bottles. Each piece has a QR code with information about where the
materials used in its creation came from.
After a conversation with Canvus it was determined their product and mission fit well with many initiatives
currently underway in the city. The sustainability and reuse nature of their products, along with the ability to
receive them primed and ready to paint, combined both the city’s desire to increase sustainability efforts and
public art throughout the community. Canvus will begin matching donors, large corporations and foundations
that look to support the company’s mission of sustainability, with organizations willing to accept an d install their
functional art pieces in June. The city will receive 8 functional art pieces from the “Welcome Collection”.
Columbia Heights will be responsible for accepting, offloading, and installing the pieces in city parks and public
spaces. The Canvus donation program begins in June with a goal of matching Columbia Heights with one of
their donors within 90 days. Once matched, Canvus will begin production and deliver products 8-12 weeks later.
The package has a retail value of $37,839.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Accept the donation of the “Welcome Package”, 8 post-consumer recycled
functional art pieces, from Canvus LLC. in Rocky River, OH.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2023-28, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2023-28, being a resolution accepting donation of the “Welcome
Package”, 8 post-consumer recycled functional art pieces, with a value of $37,839, from Canvus, LLC of
Rocky River, OH.

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 4424 6th St NE
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 05/18/2023
CORE CITY STRATEGIES:
_Healthy and Safe Community
_Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly
_Trusted and Engaged Leadership
XThriving and Vibrant Destination Community
_Strong Infrastructure and Public Services
_Sustainable
BACKGROUND
In late January 2023, the owner of 4424 6th St NE approached the Community Development Department
requesting an exemption from the single-family rental moratorium. Attached are the emails submitted to the
community development department regarding their exemption request. As a quick reminder to the council,
section 2 of Ordinance 1678, which established the single-family rental moratorium, states that “The City may
make an exception for any application in individual cases in the event that extreme financial hardship as
determined by the City in its sole discretion.” As it is the homeowner's right to appeal to the council. Staff
have brought forth the appeal along with supporting documents for discussion and review.
4424 6th was put on the City’s radar when the fire department discovered the house listed on Zillow as a
rental. Finding that the property was an unlicensed rental, the owners were notified about the requirement to
obtain a rental license. When the owner of the property initially spoke with the Community Development
Department, she was pregnant and due within the week. Community Development staff extended the normal
timeline and gave the owner until late February to apply for an exemption from the moratorium. The owner of
the property did not return to apply for an exemption until after the property was posted as unlawful to
occupy on May 2nd, 2023. This was done by the fire department because the owners continued to rent the
property for 3 months after not returning to apply for a rental exemption. The owner of the house has been
cited for not complying with the City’s rental ordinance.
In summary, the property owner is looking to obtain a rental exemption due to claimed financial hardship. The
family has outgrown the house and needed to upsize to a new home, the subject property was kept to assist in
paying the mortgage and additional expenses. The owners planned to sell the home but were unable to due to
there being a lien on the home from a current business loan (in good standing). During the staff’s exploration
of the property’s current conditions, staff found that the owners also own an affordable housing development
company. In speaking with the owners, staff have come to an understanding that the development business is
not a rental property business but a low-income home ownership development company. Staff were also able
to confirm that the house in question has been used as collateral for 2 separate loans. If sold, the home may
not pay off the current debts levied against it.

Item 11.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
If a 10% rental density cap is put into place as planned, 4424 6th Street would not qualify for a rental license
post-moratorium. Staff recently updated the current rental licenses list which shows that the block in question
already has 3 single family rentals on the block. If an exemption is granted during the moratorium, the owner
would still have to re-apply for a license under the rental density cap, in which they would not qualify. The
property could be granted an exemption by the Council to the density cap once the ordinance has been
passed.
If approved, Resolution 2023-29 would grant a temporary rental license exemption to the homeowner with a
few additional requirements. The homeowner is required to complete the license application process within 3
months from the passage of the resolution. This puts a limit on how long they can take to bring the house into
rental compliance if needed. The temporary rental license will be valid for one year from the date that the
license is approved. This provides the homeowner and tenant the ability to rent the home for a full one-year
lease. After the term of the temporary license, the license will be revoked without the ability to renew. The
homeowner will then have to apply for a traditional rental license. At this time the moratorium and all its
changes shall be in effect and the traditional license application will be subject to any limitations and
requirements adopted by the code. The resolution clearly states that by giving the homeowner a temporary
license, in no way is the City ensuring that a traditional license shall be given or available after the revocation
of the temporary license.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The property owner has been cited but is seeking an exemption.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff would like to discuss the financial hardship claim with the Council in greater detail and hear testimony

Thank you for the update!
I understand how your staff would conclude that our 6th Street home is investor owned or a traditional rental property
however, that is not the case here. I feel there needs to be a bit more clarification in order to shed light on the
conclusions that I believe have been made from your staff members. Outlaw Development does NOT own or is affiliated
in any way with our personal home(4424 6th St). Outlaw Development does NOT deal with rental properties. The
company assists the county in building affordable homes for sale and in Ramsey County only. It was our website and we
needed to negate paying two mortgages so we didn't end up upside down. The renters in our home were not found
online and we were lucky enough to have trusting family members that needed a home to rent.
First: I don't feel that moreturrum was designed to exploit or force residents into selling their properties. I understand
that Columbia Heights has been an investment worthy area for developers and such however, that's not where we fall.
Eight years ago, my wife and I moved to Columbia Heights to raise our family. We have remained long-term owners of
this property for over seven years. Over the years we have outgrown our 6th street home and could no longer house our
family there safely, so we had to move.
Second: My wife informed you guys that we have a property lean so we can NOT sell our home without paying off a debt
obligation for our business: Element Boxing and Fitness SBC in the amount of $200,000 prior to being able to sell. So we
found someone close that was in need of a home and filled it with someone close in our family.
Third: I believe the fundamental representation was clearly missed from the research that was recently performed: My
company, established 2021, is an affordable housing company (CLEARLY STATED ON OUR WEBSITE) that focuses on
Affordable Housing options for individuals and families. Not to be mistaken as a MARKET RATE developer that has only
bottomline and profit at it's highest priority. Outlaw Development focuses on providing housing for individuals and
families at lower income levels for ownership opportunities. The family in our 6th street home was found outside of any
solicitation due to them being family that doesn't negate the fact that we can't afford two mortgages in a home we
aren't living in. Outlaw Development does NOT own or operate our home.
To conclude, our original email clearly indicated that with a growing family and first time home buyer and owner in
Columbia Heights (with a lein on our property) that we needed to seek out an individual or family to utilize our property
to cover expenses as we cannot support two mortgages. We were fortunate enough to find someone close and
unfortunately this family would have experienced homelessness without my wife and I opening our 6th street home to
them. I find it hard to believe that as a city staff you would prefer to displace a family and drain another family of seven’s
household income because someone saw a website without asking any other questions. My wife and I will be in
attendance at the city council meeting. We CANNOT sell our home due to the lein.
Thank you,
Dalton and Lacee Outlaw

Good afternoon,
I received your initial letter and will present it to the council at the May 22nd City Council meeting. Staff will write a
report and include your email as the main example for your exemption request. With that being said, I feel obligated to
inform you that staff will be including in our report a recommendation to the council to not approve your exemption
request. The purpose of the rental moratorium is to limit the number of investor owned and rented single family
homes throughout the city, maintaining affordable home ownership opportunities for our residents. Staff recently
found the rental listing on your Outlaw Development website which shows us that you are or have ties to real estate
investment and development which would go against the purpose of the moratorium and would increase the burden of
proof for a financial hardship exemption.
Even though staff are recommending the council not approve the exemption we will still submit the letter and your
request as we would any other. Ultimately the decision rests on the city council. If you would like to submit a further
explanation on your claim of financial hardship/ why selling the home (in a traditional or contract for deed) is not
feasible I can include any letter sent prior to May 17th. I would also recommend attending the City council meeting on
the 22nd as sometimes the council will ask questions of the property owner requesting an exemption.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter further feel free to reach out.
Respectfully,
Mitchell Forney

Hello! My name is Lacee Outlaw I own 4424 6th St. NE. I had came in a few months ago when I was big and pregnant
and spoke to Mitchell in the city office. I have since delivered our fifth son and things have been very crazy! I am sorry
in the delay of getting this letter to you. Are you able to look over this and get it submitted and let me know when the
next city Council meeting is? Thank you so much for your help!

Dear City of Columbia Heights
I am writing to you regarding my family residence, 4424 6th ST NE Columbia Heights MN 55421. Myself and wife,
Lacee Outlaw have owned this property for more than 7 years. This was our first home and we raised our children in
this house. Unfortunately, we have outgrown the 3 bedroom home as we recently introduced our 5th son, Roman.
Our original plan was to sell our home but we are unable to sell the property due to a lean on our home from our
business loan (in good standing). So we decided to rent the 6th street home to a family member. My wife’s aunt,
husband and their 16 year old daughter have been taking care of the home for the last few months and helping us
cover the mortgage and expenses. In February my wife, Lacee visited the city building and discussed details with
Mitchell. We understand the moratorium and want to maintain (not sell) our family home but cannot afford to pay for
two mortgages. We are a hard working family and needed to make the best decision for our family. We are hoping to
obtain a rental license or take any additional steps, we are hoping to not displace anyone through the process. Please
let us know the best way to move things forward.
Thank you,
Dalton and Lacee Outlaw
