City of Columbia Heights MINUTES November 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Page 5 Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs, to approve the November 6, 2023 City Council Work Session Meeting minutes as amended. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 1690, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 9.111 of the City Code of 2005 to Establish Limited Retail Sales as a Permitted Use in the City’s Light Industrial (I-1) and General Industrial (I-2) Districts. City Planner Boucher stated the City has received an application for a zoning ordinance amendment to accommodate the introduction of limited retail sales to the City’s I-1 Light Industrial and I-2 General Industrial Districts called SACA. Tim LaCroix is representing SACA in their zoning text. They are proposing a limited retail sales as a permitted use in both the Light and General Industrial Zoning Districts. Zoning text amendments are required to have four findings of fact per 9.104(f). The finding of facts include that the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, it is in the public interest and not in the sole interest of the property owner, and the zoning request is consistent with the existing use of the property and zoning classification within the general area. He noted that there is not a proposal for a zoning change so the finding of fact is not applicable. The last criteria for finding of fact is to see if there is a change to the character or trend in the general area that has taken place since the property was placed in its current zoning classification. City Planner Boucher explained the first two criteria are the most relevant to the proposed request. He added that they would like to amend section 1.03 which is the definition section of the Zoning Code to provide clarity regarding the scope and intensity of limited retail sales. The amendment would read “Retail sales of products manufactured, process, or delivered in bulk and repackaged for sale on the site, provided that the sales area does not exceed 20% of the gross floor area of the principal building and must adhere to the performance standards set forth in section 9.106.” City Planner Boucher noted that it is not a development proposal and instead is to allow the use. SACA would still be required to come in for building permits and would have an additional opportunity to review it administratively. City Planner Boucher stated the other addition would be the addition of Limited Retail Sales as permitted uses in both the Light and General Industrial Districts. He mentioned that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the goals of the industrial guiding for a mix of industrial development and vehicle repair uses as an accessory use to warehousing and distribution. City Planner Boucher explained that major and minor automobile repair, office space, show rooms, warehousing, pawn shops, tattoo shops, body piercing shops, motor vehicle part stores, and brewery tap rooms are currently permitted in an Industrial District. Councilmember Jacobs asked if it would affect the surrounding neighborhoods that are adjacent to the industrial area. City Planner Boucher replied that Staff have notified the 11 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES November 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Page 6 neighborhoods but explained that this is simply to permit the use and that there would be additional notification if there was an application for a building permit. He added that there were two public comments at the Planning Commission meeting with one in support and one against. The individual who was against the project is within 300 feet of the radius and had concerns regarding the traffic, and crime in the area. Councilmember Jacobs asked if a home could be converted into a retail business with the changes. City Planner Boucher replied that it only applies to the industrial zoned properties. Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1690, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to set the second reading of Ordinance Amendment No. 1690, an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.111 of the City Code of 2005 to establish Limited Retail Sales as a permitted use in the City’s I-1 Light Industrial and I-2 General Industrial Districts, for November 27, 2023, at approximately 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. 9. Adopt Resolution 2023-65 for Abatement at 3912 Ulysses St. NE. Pursuant to City Code. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien explained the resolution was in regard to declarations of violations 3912 Ulysses Street NE and for an approval of abatement measures. The original matter can be traced back to the complaint filed in late April 2023 which detailed violations pertaining to a damaged fence and a failing retaining wall on the property. Staff have performed multiple inspections and several notices were sent to the property owner, they have not responded, and the violations remain uncorrected. He displayed photos of the property to the Council to view. Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution 2023-65, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to adopt Resolution 2023-65, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights approving abatement, pursuant to City Code, of the property listed. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. 10. Consideration of Resolution 2023-66, Revocation of the License to Operate Rental Units Within the City of Columbia Heights Against the Rental Property at 1153/1155 Cheery Lane NE for Failure to Meet the Requirements of the Residential Maintenance Codes. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien stated the item was one of two rental license revocation for the 12 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES November 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Page 7 property. The two hearings are for the same license but the City is required to separate it into two public hearings. The intent is to address both issues separately. If the license is revoked in one or both cases, it only counts as a single revocation against the property owner, which leaves the property owner an opportunity to reapply for a license. He explained that there are three elements of renewal. The property owner must schedule an inspection, submit a completed license application, and pay the licensing fee s. The responsible party scheduled the inspection but failed to submit the licensing fees by the due date. Councilmember James asked what the licensing history of the property was. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien replied that they have previously been licensed which began in 2019 and have had a license every year since then. Councilmember James asked if it was the second time the property owner was renewing their license. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien replied that it was likely their fifth time. Councilmember James commented it shows that the property owner is fam iliar with the renewal process. Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution 2023-66, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to adopt Resolution 2023-66, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights approving revocation, pursuant to City Code, of the rental license listed. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. 11. Consideration of Resolution 2023-67, Revocation of the License to Operate Rental Units Within the City of Columbia Heights Against the Rental Prope rty at 1153/1155 Cheery Lane NE for Failure to Meet the Requirements of the Residential Maintenance Codes. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien explained that the revocation was in regard to failure to correct violations on the property. The inspectors were unable to obtain entry on the original scheduled inspection on September 1, 2023 because the licensee did not notify the property manager so the inspectors did not know if the tenants had been properly notified. On September 15, 2023, the inspectors conducted an initial inspection and found 11 violations to the Code including smoke alarm and egress window safety violations. On October 18, 2023, the day before the next scheduled inspection, the property manager requested an extension. Per the policy, it is not per mitted to have an extension on life safety violations. The inspectors offered the property manager to supply a signed contract for repairs in order to give an extension to the repairs. The inspectors were not allowed on the site again since the tenants were not properly notified. On November 3, 2023 an additional inspection was performed and only one of the violations was completed , which was a clogged drain. 13 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES November 13, 2023 City Council Meeting Page 8 Councilmember James asked what the procedure was to make sure tenants are notified. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien replied that when the inspectors arrive, they ask tenants if they knew there was going to be an inspection to verify notice. If a tenant is not around, then they assume the property manager informed that tenant. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Resolution 2023-67, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to adopt Resolution 2023-67, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights approving revocation, pursuant to City Code, of the rental license listed. All Ayes. Motion Carried 5-0. 12. Consideration of Resolution 2023-68, Revocation of the License to Operate Rental Units Within the City of Columbia Heights Against the Rental Property at 1401/1403 Circle Terrace Blvd. NE for Failure to Meet the Requirements of the Residential Maintenance Codes. Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien stated that the property owner failed to renew the license by the due date for a duplex. Notice for the rental license went out on July 1, 2023. The three items for renewal included call and schedule an inspection of the proper ty, submit a completed application and pay the licensing fees. A check on October 10, 2023 revealed that the responsible party had not initiated any of the three items for renewal. A statement of cause and notice for the public hearing were sent on the same day.

The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1 § 8.101 REGULATIONS. (A) Rabies vaccination required. A person who owns, harbors, or keeps a dog over six months old within the city must have the dog vaccinated by a licensed veterinarian with an anti-rabies vaccine that is currently effective.

The identification tag or plate must be worn by the dog at all times when it is off the owner’s or keeper’s property. (C) Limit on number of cats and dogs. Because the keeping of four or more dogs or four or more cats in the family dwelling unit or on the family premises is subject to great abuse, causing discomfort to persons in the area by way of smell, noise, hazard, and general aesthetic depreciation, and because the irresponsible maintenance of four or more dogs or four or more cats within a residential area has been the source of a variety of complaints, no family or family member shall keep, harbor, or have custody of more than three dogs, or more than three cats, or a combination of more than five animals exceeding six months in age in the family dwelling unit or on the family premises.

The Poundmaster shall not release any animal subject to the vaccination requirement in § 8.101 without proof of current anti-rabies vaccination. (E) Any animal which is unclaimed by the rightful owner within the prescribed time may be sold to anyone desiring to purchase said animal, if not requested by a licensed educational or scientific institution under state law. 29 Item 5.

ITEM: Approve Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County Sheriff’s Office for Columbia Heights participation in Special Weapons and Tactics Team DEPARTMENT: Police Department BY/DATE: Chief Lenny Austin/Nov 16, 2023 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND As mentioned in the Police Department’s 2024 CHPD budget presentation, CHPD staff is recommending that the City of Columbia Heights enter into a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with other Anoka County Law Enforcement Agencies to formally create and establish the Anoka County Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team. This will be a multi-agency organization consisting of agencies in Anoka County, including Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, the Cities of Anoka, Blaine, Columbia Heights, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Ramsey, and Lino Lakes. This multi-agency organization will provide joint responses to critical incidents and high-risk events where there is a significant risk of criminal violence. It should be noted that Officers assigned to the SWAT team are only called out only as needed and is not a full-time assignment. The CHPD has budgeted for up to two officers to be assigned to the multi-agency SWAT team. This includes costs related to equipment and training, as well as personnel costs such as overtime. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The skills and knowledge that officers will learn as part of this team will be helpful in their overall development as a police officer which also benefits the department as a whole. This is why CHPD staff is recommending entering into a Joint Powers Agreement to become part of the Anoka County Special Weapons and Tactics Team. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Motion to Authorize the Mayor, Interim City Manager and Police Chief to enter into a Joint Powers Agreement with the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office to participate in its Special Weapons and Tactics Team.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE NOVEMBER 27, 2023 ITEM: Authorizing Change to Police Vehicle Purchase. DEPARTMENT: Police Department BY/DATE: Captain Matt Markham/Nov 16, 2023 CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below) _ Healthy and Safe Community _ Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _ Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community X Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _ Sustainable BACKGROUND: Historically the police department purchases two patrol vehicles and one unmarked vehicle every year to maintain a well-running fleet and to provide other city departments vehicles to drive after these vehicles have been rotated out of the police fleet. In recent history, the department has purchased hybrid Ford SUVs as patrol vehicles. In 2022, Ford unexpectedly canceled our order of SUVs. The capital budget was carried over from 2022 to 2023. In 2023 the department had ordered four hybrid SUVs, one Fo rd F150 pickup, and one electric vehicle. The department was able to receive one electric vehicle and a Ford F150. On November 8, 2023, Ford canceled our order for the second year in a row for the SUV hybrid patrol vehicles. Ford indicated that they would move our 2023 order to early 2024 and only promise to deliver gasoline engines and not the hybrid SUV. According to the City’s shop foreman, Ford has recalled the hybrid SUVs for rear differential issues and Ford doesn’t have a real fix for the issue. We have had several of the Ford hybrid SUVs break down due to the rear differential going out and they are then returned to Ford for repair and not available to patrol for several days. In an attempt to locate vehicles built for patrol work, I spoke to the Ford, Chevy, and Dodge dealers on the state contract. None of the dealers had vehicles in stock and indicated that some might receive pick -up trucks and that they typically need an order in advance of ordering vehicles on state contract pricing. I l earned that Chevy raised the price of their patrol-rated Tahoe to $52,000 which is above what we had budgeted. I learned that our patrol car outfitter Guardian Fleet ha s two new V6 AWD Dodge Chargers available to purchase, but this would not be through a competitively-bid state contract. After checking for available vehicles and finding nothing available but these, I am recommending the purchase of these Dodge Chargers as a sole source acquisition. The department has a Dodge Charger in the fleet now and has had another in the fleet prior with minimal mechanical issues. 57 Item 8. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 The purchase of the Chargers would fill two of the four squad needs from 2023. An order has been submitted to Ford for four gasoline-engine SUVs in 2024, which would meet the need of the two unfilled orders in 2023 and the upcoming order of two 2024 squads. The vehicles are quoted at $36,027 each, and Guardian Fleet Safety is quoting a vehicle fee of $4,985.50 as a deposit finance charge. This fee covers Guardian Fleet financing the full deposit in order to hold the vehicle for the agency’s purchase. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to authorize the purchase of two (2) 2023 Dodge Chargers for patrol use from Guardian Fleet Safety as a sole source purchase for $77, 039.50, and that the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to enter into a contract for same.

DEPARTMENT: Finance BY/DATE: Joe Kloiber / November 20, 2023 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community _ Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly X Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community X Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _ Sustainable BACKGROUND: At its October 23, 2023, meeting, the city council adopted Resolutions 2023-56 and 2023-62 setting forth the November 27th, 2023, sale of bond series 2023A and 2023B. The City’s municipal advisor, Ehlers Inc. will obtain interest rate proposals for these bond sales from the financial markets during the day of November 27th, 2023. At the 6 pm council meeting, Ehlers will present verbal and written reports summarizing the proposals. Typically, Ehlers will also recommend that the council accept the lowest bid and affirm the sale. Included in the council packet are drafts of Resolutions 2023-79 and 2023-80 prepared by the City’s bond counsel to accept the terms of these sales. Following the council’s action on this agenda item, these draft resolutions will be updated to reflect the actual proposal terms accepted. For additional reference, the repayment source and financing purpose for these two bond issues as detailed in the October 23rd meeting packet is repeated here: Proposed refunding bond series 2023A will be repaid by funds from the private developer Alatus. This refunding bond replaces the outstanding bond series 2021A, to extend the time for Alatus to obtain permanent financing for their purchase of the former Rainbow shopping center property at 43rd and Central Ave NE. Until then, these bond issues are serving as temporary financing for that redevelopment. This bond series will not result in any additional special assessments or property taxes. This project is described more fully in various recent and upcoming EDA agenda items. Proposed bond series 2023B will be repaid with special assessments which have been levied for completed improvements, principally projects #2002 and #2202 in street rehab zones 4B,5,6,7. This bond series will not result in any additional special assessments or property taxes.

If less than all of the Bond is called for redemption, the City will notify DTC (as defined in Section 7 hereof) of the particular amount to be prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant’s interest in such maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed. Prepayments will be at a price of par plus accrued interest. Section 2. Registration and Payment. 2.01. Registered Form. The Bond will be issued only in fully registered form. The interest thereon and, upon surrender of the Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein. 2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. The Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bond is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2024, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day is a business day. 2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar” and “Paying Agent”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows: (a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of the Bond and the registration of transfers and exchanges of the Bond entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b) Transfer of Bond. Upon surrender for transfer of the Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. 115 Item 17. CL162-68-915951.v2 3 (c) Exchange of Bond. When the Bond is surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing. (d) Cancellation. The Bond surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. (e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When the Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name the Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of the Bond sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange. (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bond. If the Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. The Bond so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i) Redemption. In the event the Bond is called for redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bond to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of the Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of the Bond. The Bond so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time. 116 Item 17. CL162-68-915951.v2 4 2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and the Bond in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due. 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bond will be prepared under the direction of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bond ceases to be such officer before the delivery of the Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, the Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on a different Bond need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on the Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bond has been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. Section 3. Form of Bond. 3.01. Execution of the Bond. The Bond will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. 3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Manager is authorized and directed to obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and to cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany the Bond. Section 4. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants. 4.01. Debt Service Fund. The Bond will be payable from the Taxable General Obligation Tempor ary Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 2023A Debt Service Fund (the “Debt Service Fund”) hereby created. The Debt Service Fund shall be administered and maintained by the Finance Director of the City as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. Tax increment revenues resulting from increases in taxable valuation of real property in the TIF District (the “Tax Increment Revenues”) received by the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) from the TIF District are pledged to the Debt Service Fund pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (hereinafter defined). There is also appropriated to the Debt Service Fund (i) amounts over the minimum purchase price of the Bond paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof; (ii) capitalized interest financed from Bond proceeds, if any; and (iii) rounding in the amount of $1,738.25. 117 Item 17. CL162-68-915951.v2 5 4.02. Redemption Fund. All proceeds of the Bond, less the appropriations made in Section 4.01 hereof and the costs of issuance of the Bond, will be deposited in a separate fund (the “Redemption Fund”) to be used solely to pay the Refunded Bond on December 29, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”). Any balance remaining in the Redemption Fund after the payment in full of the Refunded Bond shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund herein created for the Bond. 4.03. Pledge Agreement. An Amended and Restated Tax Increment Pledge Agreement between the City and the Authority, to be dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bond (the “Pledge Agreement”), is hereby approved and shall be executed by the Mayor and the City Manager in substantially the form now on file with the City, with such additions, deletions, and other changes as are approved by the City Manager. The Pledge Agreement is to be executed and delivered in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 469.178, subdivision 2, Section 475.58, subdivision 1, and Section 475.61, subdivision 1 of the Act. The Pledge Agreement creates rights in the City and the Authority but is not intended to create duties or obligations of the City or the Authority to any other persons (including the beneficial or registered owners of the Bond) with respect to the Tax Increment Revenues or other revenues described or referenced in the Pledge Agreement, except to the extent required by applicable law, and is not intended to create rights in or claims by any other persons (including the beneficial or registered owners of the Bond) with respect to the Tax Increment Revenues or other revenues described or referenced in the Pledge Agreement, except to the extent required by applicable law. The Pledge Agreement amends and restates the Tax Increment Pledge Agreement, dated July 29, 2021, between the City and the Authority. 4.04. Tax Increment Revenues. The estimated amount of the Tax Increment Revenues available to pay debt service on the Bond exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Project Costs related to the TIF District. The total Project Costs are estimated to be at least equal to the amount of the Bond. 4.05. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bond, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit, and taxing powers of the City are irrevocably pledged. If a payment of principal of or interest on the Bond becomes due when there is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the Finance Director is directed to pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the City, and the general fund will be reimbursed for those advances out of the proceeds of Tax Increment Revenues when received. Furthermore, in accordance with its statutory duties under Section 475.61, subdivision 6 and Section 469.178, subdivision 5 of the Act, the City covenants and agrees with the holders of the Bond that if the Bond cannot be paid at maturity from Tax Increment Revenues or from other funds appropriated by the City Council, the Bond will be paid from the proceeds of definitive bonds that will be issued and sold prior to the maturity date of the Bond. 4.06. Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby determined that the estimated collection of the Tax Increment Revenues for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bond will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the principal and interest payments on the Bond and that no tax levy is needed at this time. 4.07. Prior Debt Service Fund. The debt service fund heretofore established for the Refunded Bond pursuant to the resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the Refunded Bond shall be closed following the payment of the Refunded Bond, and all monies therein shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund herein created. 118 Item 17. CL162-68-915951.v2 6 4.08. Certificate of Manager of Property Records and Taxation as to Registration. The City Manager is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the Manager of Property Records and Taxation of Anoka County, Minnesota and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act.

The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2024, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day is a business day. 2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar” and “Paying Agent”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows: (a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer 134 Item 17. CL162-69-915986.v2 3 after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. (c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing. (d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. (e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange. (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time. 2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and 135 Item 17. CL162-69-915986.v2 4 deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due. 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar.

The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

In such event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof. 7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with respect 140 Item 17. CL162-69-915986.v2 9 to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all notices with respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC’s Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.

Section 9. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The City may discharge all Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full.

(g)Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of the Bond sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.

Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2024, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day is a business day. 2.03.Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (the “Registrar” and “Paying Agent”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows: (a)Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b)Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. (c)Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing. (d)Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. (e)Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f)Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g)Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange. 173 Item 17. CL162-69-915986.v12 4 (h)Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i)Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time. 2.04.Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the City Council, the Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due. 2.05.Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. 174 Item 17.

Section 9.Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full 179 Item 17.

Security Both the series 2023A and 2023B are secured by the city's unlimited-tax GO pledge. Officials plan to retire the 2023A temporary bonds before maturity using payments from the developer of the project area that the previous bonds were issued to improve. The city can issue long-term GO debt to repay the bonds if, for whatever reason, the developer payment is insufficient, and our 'SP-1+' rating reflects our view of the city's low market risk profile given its legal authority to issue takeout debt, if necessary, and its strong record of timely market disclosure. The bonds will refund the city's series 2021A GO temporary bonds, which were originally issued for the purchase and improvement of land. Series 2023B proceeds will go toward road improvements. Though secured by the city's unlimited tax pledge, official anticipate paying debt service from special assessments. Credit overview Columbia Heights has seen solid economic growth over the past few years, as strong home price appreciation and new residential and commercial development have pushed up valuations considerably in the two years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite high interest rates and a forecast macroeconomic slowdown in the next year, we expect that factors such as the housing shortage in the Twin Cities metro area and ongoing development of several residential and commercial projects within Columbia Heights itself will support steady tax base growth in the near WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 22, 2023 2 200 Item 17. term. (For our latest U.S. economic forecast, see "Economic Outlook U.S. Q4 2023: Slowdown Delayed, Not Averted," published Sept. 25, 2023, on RatingsDirect.) While the recent economic improvements have been meaningful, the city's per capita wealth and income measures remain considerably lower than those typical of more highly rated credits, and we expect will remain an upside rating constraint through our two-year outlook horizon. Following a small operating deficit in fiscal 2022 that was partly driven by the adoption of a new employee compensation structure, the city is forecasting an approximately $477,000 budget surplus in fiscal 2023. The fiscal 2024 proposed budget totals $17.9 million, or 8.7% growth from the previous year, that is matched primarily by growth in the property-tax levy. The city's five-year financial forecast anticipates incremental budgetary growth, with reserves aligned with the city's formal 45% fund balance policy though the five-year planning horizon, and we expect little medium-term change in the city's currently strong financial trajectory. The 'AA' rating further reflects our assessment of the city's: • Location in the broad and diverse Twin Cities metropolitan statistical area (MSA), about 14 miles north of downtown Minneapolis. The largely built-out residential community saw extraordinary valuation growth in 2022-2023, with market value increasing by 23.4% in a single year, amid rapid home price appreciation in the region and new residential and commercial development and redevelopment. • Strong financial performance and an operating budget that we believe is conservatively managed and supported primarily by property taxes. After adjustments for one-time spending, the city's budget is typically balanced both in the general fund and across governmental funds, and year-end results have typically aligned with the final budget. • Available reserves between the assigned and unassigned general fund balance and unrestricted liquor store cash that totaled 61% of adjusted operating expenditures at the close of fiscal 2022, decreasing somewhat during the year largely due to nonrecurring transfers out of the general fund. Management reports no additional plans to spend down reserves. • Good financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment (FMA) methodology, and a strong institutional framework. Key financial management policies and practices include quarterly reporting on budget-to-actual performance; rolling, long-term capital and financial plans that are updated regularly; and formal reserve and investment policies. • Strong debt and liability profile, with direct debt totaling $26.1 million and with 83% of direct debt scheduled to mature within 10 years, leaving outyear bonding flexibility. The city may issue GO debt within the next few years to fund a share of a public works building, but the amount and timing of the debt will depend on the availability of grant dollars through the state's annual bonding bill. • Moderate pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) costs that we believe are unlikely to accelerate meaningfully in the medium term, but which pose some long-term risk of cost acceleration due to back-loaded contributions and an extended amortization period. (For more information, see "Pension Spotlight: Minnesota," published Aug. 10, 2023, on RatingsDirect.) Environmental, social, and governance The city's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are neutral within the credit analysis. Though located along the Mississippi River, the city has not historically seen significant flooding. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 22, 2023 3 Summary: Columbia Heights, Minnesota; General Obligation; Note 201 Item 17. Outlook The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Columbia Heights should continue realizing consistently balanced operating results and maintaining reserves that, at minimum, are above its 45% fund balance policy requirement. Downside scenario However unlikely in the next two years, we could lower the rating if the city's reserves were to fall materially below its 45% reserves policy floor, without a plan for timely replenishment. Upside scenario We could raise the rating if the city's economic measures, especially per capita incomes and market value, improve to levels commensurate with what we typically see among more highly rated peers.

Security Both the series 2023A and 2023B are secured by the city's unlimited-tax GO pledge. Officials plan to retire the 2023A temporary bonds before maturity using payments from the developer of the project area that the previous bonds were issued to improve. The city can issue long-term GO debt to repay the bonds if, for whatever reason, the developer payment is insufficient, and our 'SP-1+' rating reflects our view of the city's low market risk profile given its legal authority to issue takeout debt, if necessary, and its strong record of timely market disclosure. The bonds will refund the city's series 2021A GO temporary bonds, which were originally issued for the purchase and improvement of land. Series 2023B proceeds will go toward road improvements. Though secured by the city's unlimited tax pledge, official anticipate paying debt service from special assessments. Credit overview Columbia Heights has seen solid economic growth over the past few years, as strong home price appreciation and new residential and commercial development have pushed up valuations considerably in the two years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite high interest rates and a forecast macroeconomic slowdown in the next year, we expect that factors such as the housing shortage in the Twin Cities metro area and ongoing development of several residential and commercial projects within Columbia Heights itself will support steady tax base growth in the near WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 22, 2023 2 214 Item 17. term. (For our latest U.S. economic forecast, see "Economic Outlook U.S. Q4 2023: Slowdown Delayed, Not Averted," published Sept. 25, 2023, on RatingsDirect.) While the recent economic improvements have been meaningful, the city's per capita wealth and income measures remain considerably lower than those typical of more highly rated credits, and we expect will remain an upside rating constraint through our two-year outlook horizon. Following a small operating deficit in fiscal 2022 that was partly driven by the adoption of a new employee compensation structure, the city is forecasting an approximately $477,000 budget surplus in fiscal 2023. The fiscal 2024 proposed budget totals $17.9 million, or 8.7% growth from the previous year, that is matched primarily by growth in the property-tax levy. The city's five-year financial forecast anticipates incremental budgetary growth, with reserves aligned with the city's formal 45% fund balance policy though the five-year planning horizon, and we expect little medium-term change in the city's currently strong financial trajectory. The 'AA' rating further reflects our assessment of the city's: • Location in the broad and diverse Twin Cities metropolitan statistical area (MSA), about 14 miles north of downtown Minneapolis. The largely built-out residential community saw extraordinary valuation growth in 2022-2023, with market value increasing by 23.4% in a single year, amid rapid home price appreciation in the region and new residential and commercial development and redevelopment. • Strong financial performance and an operating budget that we believe is conservatively managed and supported primarily by property taxes. After adjustments for one-time spending, the city's budget is typically balanced both in the general fund and across governmental funds, and year-end results have typically aligned with the final budget. • Available reserves between the assigned and unassigned general fund balance and unrestricted liquor store cash that totaled 61% of adjusted operating expenditures at the close of fiscal 2022, decreasing somewhat during the year largely due to nonrecurring transfers out of the general fund. Management reports no additional plans to spend down reserves. • Good financial policies and practices under our Financial Management Assessment (FMA) methodology, and a strong institutional framework. Key financial management policies and practices include quarterly reporting on budget-to-actual performance; rolling, long-term capital and financial plans that are updated regularly; and formal reserve and investment policies. • Strong debt and liability profile, with direct debt totaling $26.1 million and with 83% of direct debt scheduled to mature within 10 years, leaving outyear bonding flexibility. The city may issue GO debt within the next few years to fund a share of a public works building, but the amount and timing of the debt will depend on the availability of grant dollars through the state's annual bonding bill. • Moderate pension and other postemployment benefits (OPEB) costs that we believe are unlikely to accelerate meaningfully in the medium term, but which pose some long-term risk of cost acceleration due to back-loaded contributions and an extended amortization period. (For more information, see "Pension Spotlight: Minnesota," published Aug. 10, 2023, on RatingsDirect.) Environmental, social, and governance The city's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are neutral within the credit analysis. Though located along the Mississippi River, the city has not historically seen significant flooding. WWW.STANDARDANDPOORS.COM/RATINGSDIRECT NOVEMBER 22, 2023 3 Summary: Columbia Heights, Minnesota; General Obligation; Note 215 Item 17. Outlook The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Columbia Heights should continue realizing consistently balanced operating results and maintaining reserves that, at minimum, are above its 45% fund balance policy requirement. Downside scenario However unlikely in the next two years, we could lower the rating if the city's reserves were to fall materially below its 45% reserves policy floor, without a plan for timely replenishment. Upside scenario We could raise the rating if the city's economic measures, especially per capita incomes and market value, improve to levels commensurate with what we typically see among more highly rated peers.

A sign may also be desired at the public space to provide background information.
