Permit & License Software at $55,462 per year and $166,800 for Onboarding Professional
Services.
IT Director Hauf stated because the acquisition of this software involves multiple departments
and areas of expertise, the IT Department took on the task of searching for the best software
for the City that meets a balance of budget, staff , and citizen needs. After reviewing several
software company’s offerings, the IT Department along with staff input from Community
Development, Fire and Engineering chose Tyler for Enterprise Permit & License management
and Avolve DigEplan for digital plan review software.
IT Director Hauf added Enterprise Permit & License (EP&L) software provides an online portal
for customers and City staff to apply for and manage building permits, CO, right-of-way,
planning, zoning code enforcement, and business licenses. EP&L is fully integrated with GIS for
easily accessing parcel data, Laserfiche for document retention, and payment methods such as
Credit Cards and ACH. Tyler EP&L saves a considerable amount of staff time by automatically
guiding customers through the various permits and licenses. EP&L then routes requests to the
appropriate staff ensuring permits and licensing flow smoothly through the administrative
approval process. Follow-up notifications are automated to customers and staff during
definable points of the application process.
IT Director Hauf mentioned that Tyler EP&L provides Citizen Request management that allows
Citizens to submit requests and concerns online that can be automatically routed to the
appropriate staff members. Requests can be reviewed and followed up on by City
administration to ensure a high level of City-wide customer service. Staff can track and identify
hot spots in the City requiring attention and development. Tyler’s software is completely
customizable to our needs. The City has an on -staff GIS and Application Support Technician to
support, improve and expand these software components in the long-term. The purchase of

EP&L and Digital Plan Review software is in line with the Council-adopted Strategic Technology
Plan and the Sceins Study.
Mayor Márquez Simula expressed her excitement to have transparency and the departments
working more in sync.
Councilmember James explained that the license and rental process takes a lot of time for City
Staff and those who are applying and now everything will be streamlined. She added that the
Council debated about the cost but acknowledged that the cost savings made it worthwhile.
Mayor Márquez Simula noted that the money was in the budget and asked IT Director Hauf to
explain that more. IT Director Hauf explained that the money for the project was from the
building and inspections budget. Individual departments are budgeting for the ongoing costs for
2025. There will be a six- to eight-month rollout before it will be available online.

for failure to meet the requirements of the Residential Maintenance Codes.
Fire Chief Thompson explained on April 5, 2024, inspectors from the City inspected the

it was not corrected. He added that he asked his staff to pull up a running record from the
last five years on the property and found 52 violations for the property.

and asked if that had been completed. Fire Chief Thompson replied that the materials were
not moved.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
Ordinances and Resolutions
12. Approval of Resolution 2024-46 Approving Anoka County HRA’s Affordable Housing
Project.
Community Development Coordinator Forney stated during the June EDA meeting, the
commissioners received a presentation from the Anoka County HRA regarding a recent
housing study that was conducted. On May 31st the Anoka County HRA (ACHRA) closed on
the purchase of 1515 44th Ave NE, formerly known as Royce Place. Royce Place is a 50-unit
assisted living building located on the Crest View Senior Living Campus. Royce Place has
been vacant for several years leading Crest View to explore finding a buyer for the
property. The ACHRA has purchased the property with the intent of converting the b uilding
to an approximately 26-unit affordable housing with services building. ACHRA staff have
not completely solidified the full project scope, but they are looking for City approval to
conduct affordable housing project within the City. This resolution does not approve a
specific project. It officially recognizes the need for affordable housing within the city and
allows the ACHRA to move forward with the project. The ACHRA requires City approval
before they can take on any projects within a City’s jurisdiction. Further approvals and
zoning reviews regarding the project will be brought before the council as the project
moves forward.

Councilmember Buesgens noted that this kind of housing is desperately needed. She added
her excitement that the County was purchasing the property and focusing on providing
family units.
Councilmember James agreed with Councilmember Buesgens' comments and added that
Crestview was originally created to provide housing for those in need. She thanked the
Board of Crestview for their support in the project as well as Anoka County's investment in
the City.
Mayor Márquez Simula expressed her excitement about the project. She added that the
project allows more opportunities in the future.
Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember James, to waive the
reading of Resolution 2024-46, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes,
Motion Carried 5-0.
Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember James, to approve
Resolution 2024-46, being a Resolution of the City Council of the city of Columbia Heights
acknowledging the current shortage of housing for low- to moderate-income families, and
authorizing the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority’s affordable housing
project at 1515 44th Avenue NE. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
Bid Considerations
13. Residential Water Meter Replacement Program: Installation Bids.
Interim City Manager Hansen explained that in the years 1990 and 2000, the City initiated a
water meter replacement program. Roughly 6,000 water meters were replaced during that
time for residential properties and had a 20-year life. When a water meter reaches a
certain life, it stops reading accurately. The City Council approved the Water Meter
Replacement Equipment Purchase at their meeting on May 22, 2023. The purchase
included 6,000 Sensus iPERL residential water meters with new radios from Core and Main.
The City has recently taken delivery of a portion of this equipment and we are expecting to
receive the remaining equipment in the next several weeks.
Interim City Manager Hansen noted that City staff requested proposals from Core and
Main and Vanguard Utility Service to install this equipment. In addition to installing the
equipment, the installer would be required to perform cross-connection control
inspections, inflow and infiltration inspections, and identify the service line material type at
each meter installation location. Vanguard Utility Service declined to submit a proposal due
to not having certified personnel to complete the cross-connection control inspections.
Core and Main’s proposal was a joint proposal that includes their own team as project
managers and the company HydroCorp as the installers/inspectors.
Interim City Manager Hansen stated that the City originally budgeted for $1,000,000. The
bid came in at $750,000. He noted that due to the age of the houses, it is important to
make sure the connectivity will be compatible. There will also be additional costs
12
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 10, 2024
City Council Meeting Page 8
depending on the site conditions at each property. Core and Main provided unit pricing for
the following items: Electrical jumper wire installation (for grounding): $40 per installation
and freeze kits (where valves are not working or available): $220 per use. It will be
determined at the time of the meter installation if a jumper wire or a freeze kit will be
required, as a result, it is unknown how many of each of these will be required.
Interim City Manager Hansen explained that if the Council approves the bid, it will allow
Staff to provide the public with detailed information regarding what to expect and a
timeline.
Motion by Councilmember James, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to authorize the
Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with Core and Main for the
replacement of residential water meters and radios based on their proposal of May 17,
2024 at the cost of $750,000 for the installation of approximately 6,000 Sensus iPERL water
meters and radios, including unit costs of $40.00/each for furnishing and installing jumper
wires; and $220/each for freeze kits. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
Mayor Márquez Simula explained that this will help the Staff have more efficiency and be
helpful for the City as well as the residents. She added that small leaks can cause older
water meters to have a difficult time reading the water usage. She asked Interim City
Manager Hansen to share more about that. Interim City Manager Hansen explained that
the new meters would be more accurate and can pick up the low flow. Low flow can have
an effect on residents’ water bills. In addition, the new meters would be able to alert the
City if there is any unusual water flow and Staff can then conta ct customers.

Interim City Manager Hansen noted that the Community Art and Info Fair is on June 20, 2024, at Huset
Park West from 4-7 pm. There will be a table set up for the Safety Action Plan to gather input from the
community. He pointed out that City Staff would not be establishing the appointments for the water
meter program. The contracted company will be tasked with making appointments with residents.
They will begin by mailing out postcards where residents can call and set up an appointment. The new
water meters will be smart meters which will allow the City the ability to see if there are any unusual
readings and contact the resident. The meters will be more accurate which means customers will be
getting more accurate water bills. There will not be a direct cost to residents for the installation since it
will be paid through the regular utility bill.
Interim City Manager Hansen stated that the City’s office building will be closed on Juneteenth which is
June 19, 2024.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Laurel Deneen, City resident, explained that she is on the Planning Commission and would like the City
to look into tiny homes for the community. She added that she submitted a packet to City Planner
Boucher which was compiled with a few of the Planning Commissioners and herself. She noted that
she spoke with someone who wanted to put a tiny home on a property in Columbia Heights for their
aging parents, but since they were not allowed to do so in the community, they looked elsewhere. She
noted that the City is a multi-racial community and that being able to have tiny homes allows various
cultures to have multi-generational living situations. She added that it is an important discussion to
have.

8.1 Insurance Coverage for Event. The 3M Open Fund has purchased a law
enforcement liability insurance policy (the “Policy”). The insurance carrier is
Arthur J Gallagher Risk Management Services, LLC (the “Insurer”). The Policy
will provide primary coverage for claims that each Provider becomes legally
obligated to pay as damages due to “bodily injury”, “property damage”, or
“personal injury” suffered by third parties. The Policy will require the insurer to
have the right and duty to defend and indemnify each Provider against any claim or
lawsuit due to Provider acts that occur within the territory of the Event and during
the period in which the Policy is in effect. Each Provider’s Law Enforcement
Officers will be covered under the Policy by virtue of the Provider being named an
“insured” under the Policy.
8.1.1 The limit of liability for all occurrences (claims) during the coverage
period is $10,000,000.00. The limit of liability for any third-party claim for
damage to or loss of personal property is $2,000,000.00.
8.1.2. The Policy shall be primary insurance and non-contributory to any
other valid and collectible insurance available to a Party with respect to any
claim arising out of a Party’s performance under this Agreement.
8.1.3 The cost to hire and pay for legal representation to defend the City
and any Provider (“defense costs”) are not subject to the limit of the Policy.
8.1.4 The Policy is not subject to the payment of a deductible by the City
or by any other Provider.
8.1.5. Each Provider agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions
contained in the Policy.
8.1.6 Each Provider agrees that it will cooperate with the insurer and with
the City by reasonably and timely responding to the insurer’s request for
information or to appear at meetings or judicially mandated hearings.
8.2 Insurance as Sole Source for Liability and Indemnity. Each Provider hereto agrees
that it will only seek recovery for any liability incurred in carrying out the terms of
this Agreement from the insurance to be procured by the 3M Open Fund.
8.2.1 If a Party’s liability is not subject to recovery through the Policy,
then each Party agrees that it will otherwise be responsible for its own acts
and/or omissions and those of its officials, employees, representatives and
agents in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, whether those acts or
omissions occur within or outside of the jurisdiction or geographic limits of
the City of Blaine, and the results thereof to the extent authorized by law
and shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the other Party
and the results thereof.
33
Item 4.
7
8.2.2 In the unlikely event that the aggregate amount of any one or all
claims exceeds the limits of the policies described in paragraph 8.1.1, then
each Party agrees that it will otherwise be responsible for its own acts and/or
omissions and those of its officials, employees, representatives and agents
in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, whether those acts or omissions
occur within or outside the of the jurisdiction or geographic limits of the
City of Blaine, and the results thereof to the extent authorized by law and
shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the other Parties
and the results thereof.
8.3 Further Limitation On Provider Liability. It is understood and agreed that the
liability of each Provider that is a municipality, county or similar political
subdivision shall be limited by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466
(Tort Liability, Political Subdivisions) and the liability of the State of Minnesota as
a Provider shall be limited by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 3.736
and by other applicable law. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall waive or
amend, nor shall be construed to waive or amend any defense or immunity that
either Party, its respective officials and employees, may have under said Chapter
466, Section 471.59 subd. 1a, and any common-law immunity or limitation of
liability, all of which are hereby reserved by the Parties that have entered into this
Agreement.
8.4 Provider Workers’ Compensation Insurance Required. Except as expressly
provided herein, each Party shall be responsible for injuries or death of its own
personnel. Each Party will maintain workers’ compensation insurance or self-
insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are providing assistance
pursuant to this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, each Party
waives the right to sue any other Party for any workers’ compensation benefits paid
to its own employee or volunteer or their dependents.
8.5 Provider Responsible for Own Equipment. Except as expressly provided herein,
each Party shall be responsible for damages to or loss of its own equipment. Except
as expressly provided herein, each Party waives the right to sue any other Party for

at the scene of an accident or occurrence, no other medical assistance, expenses or
aid is covered under the Policy.

the performance of the Services. If good faith negotiations fail to resolve a dispute,
then the Parties will use mediation services to attempt to resolve the dispute. The
City and Provider will equally share the expense of the mediator.
The Parties will select a mediator by each submitting three names in rank
order of preference to the other Party. If there is no common name on each Party’s
list, then a neutral, third party, law enforcement representative that is not a party to
this Agreement will select a mediator for the Parties. If mediation fails to resolve a
dispute between Parties, then the Parties will resolve the dispute through litigation.

ITEM: Proposal for Surveying and Design Services for 40th Avenue Manhole Rehabilitation

BACKGROUND
The City of Columbia Heights completed hydraulic modeling in 2 of our 3 sanitary sewer collection districts in
2020 and 2021. The engineering analysis evaluated conditions such as size of pipe, grades or slope of the pipe,
and flows exceeding the design capacity may be contributing factors reducing flow capacity. It also looked at
planned/proposed/potential development within t he districts to ensure sufficient future capacity for sewage
flows are available. Each of those system analyses were completed by the engineering firm of Bolton & Menk.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The recommendations from the modeling prioritized areas where redevelopment was planned or public
projects will occur. The first project resulting from the modeling was the Central Avenue manhole replacement,
pipe upsizing and pipe repairs completed in 2022, in advance of both the Rainbow sit e redevelopment and the
reconstruction of Central Avenue. The design and construction administration of that project was provided by
Bolton and Menk.
Due to Bolton & Menk’s familiarity with the sanitary sewer analysis and the manhole replacement project on
Central, staff obtained a proposal for design services through bidding from Bolton & Menk (attached), for 40th
Avenue, from Central Avenue to Main Street. This work is part of the grant funds obtained through the Federal
Community Grants funds in 2024, and included in our 2024 Capital Improvement Program. The professional
services estimate of $35,635 is approximately 8.5% of the estimated construction cost. Funding for the project
is a combination of Federal funds the City will receive in 2024 and Sanitary Sewer Construction funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the professional service agreement with Bolton & Menk in the amount of
$35,638.

RE: Surveying and Engineering Services – 40th Avenue Manhole Reconstruction Improvements
Dear Mr. Hansen:
Bolton & Menk, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Columbia Heights
for surveying and professional engineering services related to the proposed 40th Avenue Manhole
Reconstruction Improvements. The project includes reconstructing 16 brick/block manholes between 2nd
Street and Van Buren Street.
Our understanding is the City will lead all efforts for the project other than the surveying and the
preparation of contract documents (plans and specifications).
WORK PLAN
Our Work Plan includes surveying and development of plans and specifications. Our services are
anticipated to include:
Design Development
Data Collection
Only limited topographic survey will be completed for the project. Generally, the survey tasks will
include:
· Planning and scheduling,
· Setting control that includes reference to a MnDOT monument,
· Perform a Gopher State One Call for field marking and also request utility maps,
· Perform a drone flight to provide a background image and elevation data, and
· Perform detailed survey of manholes, including a 360 degree video to accurately map the rims,
inverts and connecting pipe sizes.
Utility Coordination
No utility coordination will occur beyond the initial request for markings and maps.

Geotechnical Related
No geotechnical services will be provided for the project. The City will provide ground water depth
information based on previous projects.
Construction Documents
Construction Plans and Specifications
We will prepare the plans to allow for contractors to accurately bid the work. The plans will be completed
to comply with City Standards, and any other applicable design standards. Final plans are anticipated to
include:
· Title Sheet,

· Existing Conditions, Removals & Erosion Control,
· Typical Sections & Details,
· Pavement Restoration,
· Manhole Construction, and
· Other plan sheets required to complete plans for letting.
Traffic Control and Staging
We will not complete traffic control and or/staging plans for the project. We will indicate this will be the
responsibility of the contractor to complete as a portion of the Anoka County permitting process.
Special Provisions and Cost Estimates
Special Provisions will be prepared in accordance with the most recent version of the MnDOT Standard
Specifications for Construction and standard City specifications for design related items and issues.
A final detailed engineer’s estimate will be prepared after the plans have been completed.
NPDES/SDS Permit Application
The project is anticipated to impact less than one acre. No permit will be prepared.
Watershed Permitting
We do not anticipate watershed permit(s) will be required for the project.
Anoka County
The City will coordinate the permitting process with Anoka County.
Bidding Phase Services
Bidding phase services are anticipated to be completed by the City.
SCHEDULE AND COMPENSATION
Project Schedule
We will begin our work immediately after authorization. We will work with the City of Columbia Heights
to allow for completion of plans and specifications by the end of July.

BACKGROUND
In 2022, the City issued two conduit revenue bond series’ totaling $10,446,000 to provide the primary funding
for the Reuter Walton affordable housing project located behind the City’s Public Safety campus (the Col).
These bond issuances were not an obligation of the City, rather they are debts to be paid back by the
developer. The bonds in this case are temporary in nature and have a mandatory tender (repayment maturity
date) of July 1, 2024.
Due to the temporary nature of the bonds, they are eligible to be recycled (re-issued) as “volume cap”
pursuant to Federal and State tax law. To this end, the City has been approached by a development team
working on a 170-unit, $35M+ affordable housing project in the City of Burnsville. The project team includes
the Dakota County Community Development Agency (DCCDA), the City of Burnsville, and Roers Companies
(developer). This team has requested that the City participate by allowing the Reuter Walter bonds issued by
the City to be recycled and used for the project in Burnsville. To accomplish this goal, the City must hold a
public hearing to adopt a resolution that approves the new bond issuance using recycled volume cap available
from the Reuter Walton project, and the City also must approve and execute a joint powers agreement (JPA)
with the DCCDA that spells out the details and responsibilities related to the transaction. Following these steps
(if approved by the Council), there is no more involvement by the City. All legal costs incurred by the City will
be reimbursed by project funds and paid at the bond closing that is scheduled to take place in July. As part of
the JPA the City will receive a .25% (percentage of total bonds recycled) fee for participation in the deal. The
Council discussed this transaction at the June 3rd Work Session and was supportive of the proposal.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 2024-48, approving the usage of recycled volume cap
by entering into a joint power’s agreement with the DCCDA. There is a statewide shortage of affordable
housing and the City’s participation in this transaction will help to facilitate construction of new housing in
another community of need. Additionally, there are no projects in the pipeline for the City where this funding
mechanism can be deployed in Columbia Heights.

WHEREAS, there has been presented to the City Council of the City the form of a Joint Powers
Agreement, dated as of or after June 28, 2024, between the City and the CDA, and acknowledged and
accepted by the Borrower (the “Joint Powers Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Borrower’s proposal calls for the CDA to loan the proceeds realized upon the issuance

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.59 et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”) provides that two
or more governmental units, by agreement entered into through action of their governing bodies, may jointly
or cooperatively exercise any power common to the contracting parties, and may provide for the exercise
of such power by one of the participating governmental units.
WHEREAS, in connection with revenue bonds issued under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as
amended (the “Act”), Section 462C.14, Subd. 3 provides for joint action between cities, as defined in
section 462C.02, subdivision 6 (which includes any statutory or home rule charter city and any public body
which is the housing and redevelopment authority in and for a statutory or home rule charter city), pursuant
to the Joint Powers Act.
WHEREAS, the Borrower has proposed that the Dakota County CDA: (i) issue one or more series
of its multifamily housing revenue bonds or other obligations pursuant to the Act in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $37,000,000 (the “Bonds”), using in part, tax-exempt private activity bond volume
cap (“Volume Cap”) of the State pursuant to Section 146(i)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), from the Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds (42nd & Central Apartments
Project), Series 2022A and 2022B, previously issued by Columbia Heights on June 28, 2022 (with respect

aggregate principal amount of $10,446,000 (the “Original Bonds”), and loan the proceeds of the Bonds to
the Borrower to finance the acquisition, construction, and equipping of an approximately 172-unit
multifamily rental housing development and facilities functionally related and subordinate thereto, to be
located at or about the properties which currently have an address of 151 Burnsville Parkway and 201
Burnsville Parkway in the City of Burnsville, Minnesota (the “Project”), and (ii) incur a taxable term loan
from Bridgewater Bank, a Minnesota banking corporation (the “Lender”), in the principal amount of
$[_________] (the “Interim Loan”), pursuant to an Interim Loan Agreement between the Dakota County
CDA, the Lender, and the Borrower (the “Interim Loan Agreement”), as evidenced by a note from the
Dakota County CDA to the Lender (the “Note”), in the interim period between the redemption of the
Original Bonds and the issuance of the Bonds by the Dakota County CDA, for the preservation and
recycling of Volume Cap.
WHEREAS, under Section 146 of the Code, any portion of the Bonds issued on a tax-exempt basis
(the “Tax-Exempt Obligations”) must receive an allocation of Volume Cap of the State or, under certain
conditions, may utilize recycled Volume Cap pursuant to Section 146(i)(6) of the Code. The Code permits
the recycling of Volume Cap for affordable housing projects and treats the recycling as a refunding for tax

purposes if: (i) the “refunding” occurs within 4 years after the original bonds were issued, (ii) the
“refunding” bonds are issued within 6 months after the principal payment of the original bonds, and (iii)
the “refunding” bonds mature within 34 years of the original issue date. The Dakota County CDA is an
“entitlement issuer” as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 474A.02, subd. 7, and has allocated calendar
year 2024 Volume Cap for the Project in the amount of $27,100,000. The Borrower has represented to the
Dakota County CDA and Columbia Heights that the portion of the Tax-Exempt Obligations exceeding
$27,000,000 (the “Recycled Portion”) will meet the requirements of Section 146(i)(6) of the Code with
respect to the recycling of Volume Cap from the Original Bonds.
WHEREAS, Columbia Heights loaned the proceeds of the Original Bonds (the “Original Loan”)
to 42 Central Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership (the “Original Borrower”), and at least
95% of the proceeds thereof were used to provide a qualified residential rental project as that term is defined
in Section 142(d) of the Code, as evidenced on the Form 8038, Information Return for Tax-Exempt Private
Activity Bond Issues filed for the Original Bonds.
WHEREAS, to facilitate the preservation and recycling of Volume Cap from the Original Bonds,
$[________] of Original Borrower funds intended for repayment of the Original Loan (the “Original Loan
Repayment”) will be deemed directed to the Lender as cash collateral to secure the Interim Loan and in
exchange for the deposit of an equal amount of Note proceeds with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National
Association (the “Original Bond Trustee”), for the redemption of the Original Bonds.
WHEREAS, the Lender will deposit the Original Loan Repayment received from the Original
Borrower in a segregated account in the name of the Borrower for the benefit of the Dakota County CDA
(the “Collateral Fund”) as cash collateral to secure the Interim Loan pursuant to the Interim Loan
Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Original Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase on July 1, 2024 and
will be tendered for purchase and redeemed on July 1, 2024 or on the next succeeding business day (the
“Redemption Date”) in accordance with the terms of that certain Indenture of Trust, dated as of June 1,
2022, as amended and restated by an Amended and Restated Indenture of Trust, dated as of December 1,

Bond Trustee. On the Redemption Date, Columbia Heights will draw $[______] of principal on the Interim
Loan to redeem a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Original Bonds, as authorized under
this Agreement, and the Original Bond Trustee will apply such amount to the redemption of such portion
of the Original Bonds in accordance with the Original Bond Indenture. After redemption of the Original
Bonds, $[______] of the Volume Cap therefrom will be reused by the Dakota County CDA to issue the
Recycled Portion of the Tax-Exempt Obligations. Upon the issuance of the Bonds by the Dakota County
CDA, the Recycled Portion will be used to repay the Interim Loan, and the Original Loan Repayment on
deposit in the Collateral Fund will be transferred to the project fund for the Bonds and thereby used by
Issuer to provide a new loan to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of $[______] for the Project
pursuant to one or more loan agreements between the Dakota County CDA and the Borrower to be executed
in connection with the Bonds.
WHEREAS, in order to better leverage public funding by recycling bonding authority as permitted
by Section 146(i)(6) of the Code, the Borrower has proposed that the Parties enter into this Agreement
pursuant to the Joint Powers Act and the Act to provide Columbia Heights’s (i) consent for the Original
Borrower to redirect the Original Loan Repayment to the Lender in exchange for the deposit of an equal
amount of Note proceeds with the Original Bond Trustee for the redemption of the Original Bonds, (ii)
authorization for the tender and redemption of the outstanding principal amount of the Original Bonds from
the proceeds of the Interim Loan, and (iii) authorization for the issuance of the Recycled Portion of the
Bonds by the Dakota County CDA using the recycled Volume Cap from the Original Bonds for the purpose
82

4875-8679-0330.4
of financing a portion of the costs of the Project, and thereby provide a new loan for a project described in
Section 142(d) of the Code.
WHEREAS, Section 146(i)(6) of the Code requires approval of the Bonds in accordance with
Section 147(f) Code before the issuance thereof, and under Section 147(f) an applicable elected
representative of each governmental unit in which facilities to be financed and refinanced by the Bonds are

required under the Code, using in part, recycled Volume Cap from the Original Bonds pursuant to Section
146(i)(6) of the Code, and (iii) the incurrence of the Interim Loan to refund an equal amount of the Original

(ii) the execution of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, Columbia Heights and the Dakota County CDA each in consideration of the

Code, and Columbia Heights authorizes such reuse of Recycled Volume Cap. Notwithstanding the above,
Columbia Heights makes no opinion as to the authorization of the Dakota County CDA to reuse the
Recycled Volume Cap.
4. The Borrower shall pay Columbia Heights an administrative fee equal to 0.25% of the
Bonds issued by Columbia Heights using Recycled Bonding Authority upon the issuance thereof.
5. The Dakota County CDA shall exercise the powers of the Joint Powers Act and the Act by
adopting, approving, and executing such resolutions, documents, and agreements as shall be necessary or

secured.
6. The Bonds shall be special, limited obligations of the Dakota County CDA, payable solely
from proceeds, revenues, and other amounts pledged thereto and more fully described one or more loan

purposes of determining total liability for damages, the Parties shall be considered a single governmental
unit and the total liability for the Parties shall not exceed the limits on governmental liability for a single

RE: Recycled Volume Cap from the City’s Conduit Revenue Bonds Previously Issued for the Reuter
Walt on Project for Use by Dakota County Community Development Agency
Dear Aaron:
As we discussed, in order to better leverage public funding by recycling bonding authority (volume
cap) as permitted by Section 146(i)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),
Colliers has inquired about potential sources of recycled volume cap for use by Dakota County Community
Development Agency (“Dakota County CDA”) in issuing a portion of its multifamily housing revenue
bonds (the “Dakota County CDA Bonds”) for a project in the City of Burnsville (the “Burnsville
Project”). The City’s conduit revenue bonds issued for the Rueter Walton project, the Multifamily Housing
Revenue Bonds (42nd & Central Apartments Project), Series 2022A, issued in the original aggregate
principal amount of $9,886,000 on June 28, 2022 (the “Series A Bonds”), and the Multifamily Housing
Revenue Bonds (42nd & Central Apartments Project), Series 2022B, issued in the original aggregate
principal amount of $560,000 on December 28, 2022 (the “Series B Bonds”), are potential sources of
recycled Volume Cap (as defined below). The Series A Bonds and the Series B Bonds (collectively, the
“Columbia Heights Bonds”) are subject to mandatory tender on July 1, 2024.
The Burnsville Project is being undertaken by Roers Companies or an affiliate thereof (the
“Developer” or “Borrower”) and is comprised of an approximately 170-unit affordable housing project
(using 4% low-income housing tax credits) located in the “Heart of the City” district in Burnsville at 151
& 201 Burnsville Parkway, Burnsville, Minnesota. All units will be restricted to 60% of AMI. The building
will likely be 4 stories with 1 level below-grade structured parking and is in a TOD zoning district. The
Burnsville Project was awarded $27.1 million in new Volume Cap from Dakota County CDA. The
estimated amount of the permanent Fannie Maie (FNMA) mortgage loan for the Burnsville Project is $35
million (approximately $8 million more than the amount of the new Volume Cap allocated to this project).
Colliers and the Developer have requested the participation of the City of Columbia Heights to
allow for the recycling of Volume Cap from the Series A Bonds (and perhaps also the Series B Bonds). The
Borrower anticipates closing of the Dakota CDA Bonds will occur in July. Below is a short summary of

the applicable federal tax rules and state law requirements that will need to be met in order for Dakota
County CDA to issue a portion of its bonds using recycled Volume Cap from the Columbia Heights Bonds,
as well as a summary of the mechanics of recycling Volume Cap.
Federal Tax Law and State Law:
Under Section 146 of the Code, any portion of the Dakota County CDA Bonds issued on a tax-
exempt basis must receive an allocation of tax-exempt private activity bond volume cap (“Volume Cap”)
of the State of Minnesota (the “State”)1 or, under certain conditions, may utilize recycled Volume Cap
pursuant to Section 146(i)(6) of the Code. The Code permits the recycling or reuse of Volume Cap for
affordable housing projects and treats the recycling as a refunding for tax purposes if: (i) the “refunding”
occurs within 4 years after the original bonds were issued, (ii) the “refunding” bonds are issued within 6
months after the principal payment of the original bonds, and (iii) the “refunding” bonds mature within 34
years of the original issue date.
In addition, Section 146(i)(6) of the Code requires approval of the Dakota County CDA Bonds in
accordance with Section 147(f) of the Code before the issuance thereof, and under Section 147(f) an
applicable elected representative of each governmental unit in which facilities to be financed and refinanced
by the Dakota County CDA Bonds are located must approve the issuance of the Bonds following a public
hearing.
In connection with revenue bonds issued under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the
“Act”), Section 462C.14, Subd. 3 provides for joint action between cities, as defined in section 462C.02,
subdivision 6 (which includes any statutory or home rule charter city and a county housing and
redevelopment authority), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.59 et seq. (the “Joint Powers Act”).
Under the Joint Powers Act, two or more governmental units, by agreement entered into through action of
their governing bodies, may jointly or cooperatively exercise any power common to the contracting parties
or any similar powers, including those which are the same except for the territorial limits within which they
may be exercised.
Procedure for Recycling Volume Cap
Pursuant to the Act, the Joint Powers Act, and Section 147(f) of the Code, in order to recycle
Volume Cap from the Columbia Heights Bonds, the City will need to: (i) hold a public hearing on the
issuance of the Dakota County CDA Bonds, and (ii) following such hearing, adopt a resolution consenting
to, and approving the issuance of the Dakota County CDA Bonds, using in part, recycled Volume Cap from
the Columbia Heights Bonds, pursuant to a joint powers agreement between the City and the Dakota County
CDA (the “Joint Powers Agreement”), and approving the execution and delivery of the Joint Powers
Agreement. Dakota County CDA will also need to hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving
the issuance of the Dakota County CDA Bonds and the execution and delivery of the Joint Powers
Agreement. Following the public approvals described in this paragraph, the City will have little to no more
involvement in the Dakota County CDA Bonds transaction, with the exception of execution and delivery
of the Joint Powers Agreement and delivery of a certified copy of the City resolution. All costs incurred by
1 Volume Cap is allocated by Minnesota Management and Budget (“MMB”), and MMB allocates a portion of the
annual Volume Cap under federal tax law to certain pools established under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 474A, as
amended, including the housing pool and the unified pool, from which allocations for residential rental project bonds
are made. MMB also allocates Volume Cap to the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and “entitlement issuers,”
which includes Dakota County CDA.

the City will be paid or otherwise reimbursed to the City by the Borrower, as will our fee as bond counsel
to the City.
The mechanics for recycling Volume Cap are somewhat complicated when the refunding of the
bonds to be recycled and the issuance of the new bonds does not occur simultaneously. For your reference,
a simplified summary of the mechanics of recycling Volume Cap under such a situation follows:
1. The Columbia Heights Bonds will be redeemed (likely on or about July 1, 2024, the
mandatory tender date) with available funds of the Borrower (comprised of a taxable loan
from the Dakota County CDA to the Borrower funded by proceeds of a conduit loan
obtained by Dakota County CDA from a lender (the “Interim Loan Lender”) for the
purpose of refunding the Columbia Heights Bonds (the “Interim Loan”).
2. We expect that the Borrower and Reuter Walton will enter into an agreement whereby
Reuter Walton will redirect its funds intended for repayment of the loan funded by the
proceeds of the Columbia Heights Bonds to the Interim Loan Lender, which Reuter Walton
funds will cash collateralize the Interim Loan.
3. On the redemption date of the Columbia Heights Bonds, Dakota County CDA will draw a
specified amount on the Interim Loan to redeem all or a portion of the Columbia Heights
Bonds, and such Interim Loan proceeds will be deposited with the trustee for the Columbia
Heights Bonds for application by the trustee to the redemption of the Columbia Heights
Bonds.
4. Upon redemption of the Columbia Heights Bonds, the Volume Cap therefrom is carried by
Dakota County CDA, and Dakota County CDA will reuse such Volume Cap to issue the
portion of the Dakota County CDA Bonds exceeding the $27.1 million to be issued using
the new Volume Cap.
5. Upon the issuance of the Dakota County CDA Bonds, a portion of the proceeds thereof
will be used to repay the Interim Loan, and the cash collateral funds deposited with the
Interim Lender will be transferred to the project fund for the Dakota County CDA Bonds,
and thereby used by Dakota County CDA to provide a new loan to the Borrower in the
aggregate principal amount of the Columbia Heights Bonds recycled.
No Liability
Finally, when issued, the Dakota County CDA Bonds will be special, limited obligations of Dakota
County CDA, payable solely from revenues of the Borrower to the extent and in the manner provided in
the documents to be executed in connection with the issuance of the Dakota County CDA Bonds, and will
not be a general or moral obligation of Dakota County CDA, the City or any other political subdivision of
the State. In no event will the Dakota County CDA Bonds ever be payable from or charged upon the general
credit, taxing powers, or any funds of Dakota County CDA or the City, and neither the City nor Dakota
County CDA are subject to any liability thereon.
Following your review of this letter memorandum, please let me know if you have any questions
and if you’d like to discuss further.
