MnDOT / Metro Transit update of Central Avenue. Chris Bower from MNDOT led the presentation regarding updates from MnDOT related to Central Avenue and Alicia Valenti from Metro Transit joined via Teams. Bower updated the council that 2028 is the earliest opportunity for funding of the Central Avenue Project based on the PEL Study that was recently completed. He further informed the council that there will be 25 million dollars allocated to the project, and the opportunity to seek out additional funding. Overall, he thanked the community for their advocacy and support in getting this funding for 2028 instead of 2033. 10 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 2 Bower also stated that there will be a partnership when looking at Central Avenue from the Mississippi River to Hwy 694. The goal of the study and this project is to prevent and reduce deaths occurring on Central Avenue with all the cities that are in the scope of the project. The next steps are to discuss what should be happening with the upcoming projects that are in the works. MNDOT is proposing a combination of the Central Avenue Project with Metro Transit. Other City led projects are suggested to be delayed taking place in 2028 as well. There will be a process of public engagement and then approval from the Council and the earliest this will occur is later this year, or early next year. Additionally, there is a lot of work to be done in relation to public outreach and there will be extensive partnership to get to the finish line working with businesses and residents impacted by construction on the Central Avenue Corridor. Mayor Márquez Simula inquired if the temporary safety posts will remain in the intersections. Bower stated that they would be staying barring winter maintenance issues. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she hopes that they will not be taken down until 2028. Councilmember James gave thanks for the partnership with MNDOT and Metro Transit. Councilmember Buesgens stated that she was glad that we are keeping the delineator posts / safety posts. She also stated that she would like the speed limit on Central to be reduced to 25 MPH. She also stated that she is very appreciative of having MNDOT so involved in the conversation and getting changes made. Bower stated that there are known issues with speed on Central Avenue, as well as accidents that happen at speeds above 30 miles an hour being more deadly. Studies have found that there needs to be a change to the roadway, not just a speed limit reduction. Police Chief Austin brought up the concern related to the crosswalk timing at 40th and Central. He has concerns with the elderly or handicapped citizens that live at the nearby Park View Villa apartments. Bower stated that the short crossing time is also a symptom of the width of the roadway. Councilmember Spriggs stated that he would like to see Central Avenue planning work session meetings with the Council towards the end of this year. 3. Presentation and Discussion on Proposals for Public Safety Funding Expenditures. Fire Chief Thompson started with an overview of the topic, with a focus on using the public safety funding for improving hiring and retention of on call fire fighters. Chief Thompson proposes increasing the starting wage to $22 per hour, with additional incentives as fire fighters complete required training and take on additional responsibilities. He would like to work on a mandated on-call schedule as well, this would be beneficial because this would reduce having a full-time position needed to cover calls. Additionally, Thompson would like 11 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 3 to use this funding to put cradle point wireless in the vehicles and replace the cabinets and appliances in the fire house. One last item of importance that Chief Thompson presented for use of the public safety funding is that he would like to purchase soft body armor / bullet proof vests because of the increase in instances of violence against first responders. There is legislation that is currently being worked on at the State Level to cover half the cost of the $1200 per person protective gear. If there was conflict of any kind, then the fire department and first responders would utilize this gear for the call. Councilmember Buesgens would like to see heavy duty cabinets purchased for the Fire Department. Councilmember Jacobs inquired about commercial cabinets as well. Police Captain Markham commented that they would have the same type of cabinets that the police department has used. Police Chief Austin stated that he would like to turn the Police portion of the presentation to Captain Markham and Captain Johnston. Captain Markham stated that the department would like to update the squad rifles and pistols to bring them into current models using the public safety funding money. He would also like to purchase ballistic shields that can stop rifle rounds. Currently the shields that the department has do not stop riffle rounds. Additionally, they would like to conduct more BOWMAC training for City Department Heads and Police Staff. Captain Markham also gave an overview of the investment that could be made with the public safety funding to broaden the utilization of Flock cameras that give an alert for stolen vehicles. Since the initial deployment of the Flock cameras, they have had a positive impact in the community. The department would like to place an emphasis on 44th and 49th by the schools. From an investigative standpoint this would allow the department to efficiently solve more crimes. Captain Markham also informed the council that some of the public safety funding money would be used for a project that IT and the PD have been looking at utilizing USI Fiber for crime and accident investigation along Central Avenue. USI would like to come in this fall as they have wrapped up their work in St. Anthony. Once the fiber is installed there will be an opportunity to add cameras and Wi-Fi to the parks, as well as Central Avenue. This is a three-year proposal that will give us a bridge to the 2028 Central Avenue reconstruction that was discussed earlier in this meeting. Police Captain Johnston reviewed proposed pay increases for the police department staff. He stated that the department would like feedback on these items to see if they can start moving forward with them. Councilmember James stated that she would like to see some of this money put towards mental health and violence prevention, victim services, and first responder wellness. 12 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 4 Captain Johnston and Captain Markham clarified that they are currently working on a DOJ grant to increase the funding for officer wellness to further impact the programs that the department currently has. Chief Austin stated that the department always has items that they are working on. They would like directions on starting to make purchases, there can be a wait time on some of the items that are needed. Interim City Manager Hansen stated that he would like council consensus on that items can be approved. There was a consensus to move forward on eight of the items, and to hold off on getting estimates for the kitchen cabinets and appliances . Councilmember Buesgens stated that getting proper equipment for the police and fire department will be critical to morale and officer wellness. 4. Winter Parking and Snow Plowing. Interim City Manager Hansen gave some background information related to the who / what / when / where of snow plowing in the City and how this impacts the winter parking. Hansen relayed that Councilmember Spriggs had questions related to snow triggers and parking enforcement and updates that could be made to the policy. Overall, he gages the success of the winter parking restrictions and snow plowing based on a recent survey where most residents feel that the parking rules and enforcement are about right. Councilmember Spriggs stated that many people have brought concerns forward and he wanted to look to see if we are doing the best we possibly can with this. He feels that often there are questions related to the execution of these items, and he does not have specific recommendations or changes that he would like to have implemented. Hansen stated that he does not compare our snow removal process or parking to bigger cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Councilmember James inquired about moving the snow fall level to two inches instead of three. She would like to see parking permits revoked for violating the snow policy. She would also like to increase permit access as well. Councilmember Jacobs feels that there are a lot of repeat offenders from her experience doing ride along on a plow. She feels that enforcement does need to be increased and more cars ticketed and towed. Captain Johnston stated that there are no specific statistics on cars that have permits that are being ticketed or towed, and this could be an area to collect information for the next snow season. 13 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 5 Police Chief Austin spoke to the staffing level that is needed to ticket and tow cars based on snow events and ongoing issues. There needs to be an ordinance change related to reducing the snowfall amount in City Code for this to be more impactful. Interim City Manager Hansen stated that changing the snow fall amount would positively impact the snow removal team in planning and being proactive. Mayor Márquez Simula inquired if parking permit appeals could be brought to the council and was not sure what the current appeals process is. Councilmember Buesgens inquired further into the process of getting a winter parking permit. Police Captain Johnston stated that there is an appeals process, and that after the community service officer visits the property, and the property is denied they can ask for further review by an officer. In the process of issuing a parking permit they review many factors, and most permits are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Interim City Manager Hansen stated that he would suggest that appeals should be handled administratively in the same manner they are now. He will have an ordinance amendment prepared to reduce the snow threshold amount for the council to review and vote on at a Council Meeting. Councilmember Spriggs would like to see a soft date for the first snow fall and parking restrictions. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she was not in favor of changing to a soft date based on the first and last snow fall. Interim Public Works Director Cullen stated that a non-defined parking time does not allow citizens to get in the habit of moving their cars so the plow drivers can manage snow removal. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to have the same time period for winter parking for 2024-25 as this year was a trial period. She would also like to see a fee for parking permits. Councilmember James was also in support of the Mayor’s idea of having a fee for parking permits. Mayor Márquez Simula further clarified that she does feel that this is “a poor person tax” and it only really hurts people who do not have other options. She stated that she appreciates the new tracking and information in the report from the police department. She feels that things are going very well, she would like to continue what we have done the past year. 14 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 6 5. Massage Therapy Licensing. Assistant City Manager Chirpich reviewed the pending changes at the State level related to licensing of massage businesses. He informed the council that unfortunately a correlation exists with a small percentage of these businesses and law enforcement concerns. Chirpich stated that he wanted to bring the status of this item to the Council and let them know that we can also have our lobbyist do some additional work supporting this bill. Assistant City Manager Chirpich informed the Council that the Community Development Department is hoping that this item will also lead to a review of the existing business licensing concerns and updates. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she was most concerned with the human trafficking concerns and is looking forward to what the legislature will update related to the licensing process. 6. Update to 9.106 General Development Standards to Include Tree Preservation. City Planner Andew Boucher led the conversation related to the improvements that would bring us in line with the American Standard and best practices for tree care and preservation. City Forrester Liam Genter added additional information related to the established standards for preservation. Interim City Manager Hansen clarified that this would impact new construction and rehabilitation. What is being added in the ordinance update is related to adding / replacing existing trees. Councilmember Buesgens inquired how this would apply to the residential neighborhoods. City Planner Boucher stated that this item would only impact residential properties if there were a survey required for the project. There was consensus that this item would be reviewed and brought before Council at either the second Monday or fourth Monday Council meeting. 7. Discussion on Park Dedication. City Planner Andew Boucher reviewed this item for the council and discussed the essential nexus need for both the updates related to tree preservation and park dedication. Interim City Manager Hansen clarified to the Council that would like to update the park dedication fees because he felt that we are not fully getting the representative value. He inquired as to how park dedication is calculated. Assistant City Manager Chirpich stated that the recent sale of the property or a survey would dictate the mutually agreed upon cost, and that 10% of that agreed upon cost would be for park dedication fees. 15 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 01, 2024 City Council Work Session Page 7 City Planner Boucher would like to status with the City Attorney on where we could adjust our fees and clarified that the money cannot be used as a reoccurring fund. Assistant City Manager Chirpich clarified that there are changes that could be made on a state level that would also impact this. Council supported the idea of increasing the amount of park dedication fees that can be collected. There will be a review of this matter with the City Attorney to determine the best approach. 8. Council Corner. Updates from council regarding schedules, information sharing and priorities for continued education. Updating Chapter 8 Public Health and Safety, Article I: Animals to Address Urban Chickens. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she has had a lot of calls from residents related to limiting the number of chickens on a property, not allowing roosters, and generally establishing a humane level of care for the animals. Councilmember Jacobs stated that she has received 70 to 80 phone calls about this issue. She would like to see licensing and permitting related to having chickens in the City. Councilmember Buesgens asked for further exploration of the complaints that Councilmember Jacobs has received. Councilmember Buesgens clarified that she has some bias because she is a chicken owner. She feels that some neighborhoods love roosters, and that this should be addressed via the noise ordinance. She feels that some ordinances are written from the perspective of people who do not own chickens. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to track the amount of chicken nuisance calls before acting on this item, and review this again a year from now. 8. Old Buisness. There were not any outstanding items to address. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:12pm.

Members physically present: Gerri Moeller; Rachelle Waldon; Melanie Magidow; Chris Polley; Justice Spriggs (Council Liaison). Members remotely present: Carrie Mesrobian. Members absent: N/A. Also present: Renee Dougherty (Library Director); Nick Olberding (Board Secretary). Public present: N/A. 1. The Meeting’s Agenda was approved as-is. 2. The Minutes of the December 6th, 2023, Board Meeting were moved and approved. 3. Review 2023 Operating Budget: 100% of the year and 89.20% of the budget encumbered, although there are still December utilities, payroll, ILS Q4, minor expenditures, and interdepartmental transfers that need to occur before the final accounting is done for 2023; no concerns raised. Community Forum: Opportunity for public input. No correspondence or members of the public in attendance. Old Business: 4. Staffing Update: a. Library Supervisor: Introduction of Rin Gorman to the Library Board. Rin comes from Gainesville, Florida and is very pleased with the atmosphere of Library so far. The Boardmembers also introduced themselves and expressed their excitement for the addition of him to the staff; Rin started training with yesterday but he does have previous library education and experience so is already well versed. b. Library Page opening: We will be posting an opening for Library Page in the hopes of them working part- time 2 evenings a week and an every-other Saturday shift. 5. Project: Website Re-vitalization: Revize (the host of the City website) quoted us an upfront $6,000 cost to create and host a CHPL microsite with no yearly cost for as long as the City contracts with Revize for its website. The roll- out would take up to 20 weeks once the contract is signed; we will be moving forward, but nothing has been signed as of yet. The cost could likely be covered by donation funds rather than the operating budget. a. A patron feedback board was created and will be placed in the Library going forward; this month’s question will be “What are the most important aspects to include on a potential new library website?” This interactive display will also inform strategic planning directives to be discussed at the January 13th strategic planning retreat. The Board was asked to think about potential future questions. An immediate suggestion was what other types of programming/events the community might be interested in. 6. Project: Strategic Planning Framework: Renee supplied the Board with a draft of potential Strategic Directions that were compiled with data from staff brainstorming sessions and previous strategic planning from 2019. The upcoming strategic planning session will not be starting from scratch. The 4 main directions provided were: a. Collections: raising awareness, increasing appeal, and boosting circulation b. Communications: revitalized website, collaboration with communications staff, patron input, promotions c. Outreach: more events, more partnerships and renewed ones, more librarian outreach visits d. Space: play/learning areas, repair/renewal of facility, custodial duties, parking, safety/accessibility Director’s Update: 17 Item 3. 7. November Board Report: Provided as an FYI. 8. From the Floor: a. Winter Reads: Winter Reads (for All Ages) has begun; patrons may work through a reading BINGO Card and adults may submit book reviews for prize drawings during January/February (weekly prizes of Winter Reads hats and 2 grand prizes of Heights Theater gift cards). b.

Idea Generating Questions: The Board went around the room asking rapid-fire questions (without expecting answers) to prime imaginations and inform subsequent discussion. Those able to be captured are as follows (loosely sorted into the strategic direction categories): COLLECTIONS (AND PROGRAMMING): What is the age of our library’s collection, and how does it compare to other libraries? ▪What platforms is Kanopy is available on? ▪What is the average turnover of a collection? ▪What are the reasons to weed a collection? ▪Do we have statistics on student digital resource/e-book usage? ▪How can the Library promote more non-book materials and create engaging displays for them? ▪Has the community voiced any objections to the Library or its collections; do we need any policies in place to address them? ▪How to get people to associate the Library with ideas, not only books? ▪Could we have Conversation Circles for everyone? ▪Have we done or could we do Books n’ Brews events? ▪Could we have a Library of Things collection? ▪Could we host movie nights? ▪Could we do yoga sessions…goat yoga? ▪How much time and work does it take to create a display from scratch? ▪Literary cosplay events (Jane Austen night, Great Gatsby, etc)? COMMUNICATIONS (AND DEMOGRAPHICS): Translation options, or bilingual staff/volunteers available? ▪Patron preferences of communication/updates, website, Facebook, Instagram, etc? ▪What demographic groups are missing from feedback and community survey results? ▪How to optimize communication methods (email/social media)? ▪Does staff have time for more social media platforms and online promotion; does it require mostly manual work or use automation? ▪What demographic shifts are occurring in the community, and how do they effect the Library? ▪Which social media platforms are the most prevalent in Columbia Heights? ▪Are there categories/classifications of patrons studied in the library schools—mainly from a marketing perspective? ▪What differences are there in our community compared to other cities in Anoka County and the wider metro?

SPACE (AND SAFETY): Could the Juvenile and YA areas have more dedicated seating and socializing space? ▪How can we utilize the vacant lot behind the building in a way that enhances the Library or fits its vision/mission? ▪What are the most concerning safety issues for staff and patrons? ▪How do we create a more inviting environment? ▪Are there guidelines or plans for specific threats and situations (eg, gun violence, bomb threats, weather)? ▪Do we have enough custodial staff? ▪Should we provide Open Access (24/7 unsupervised library use)? MISCELLANEOUS: What is the Library’s role in workforce development in 2024? ▪What increase in workload, visitors, circulation, communications can the current staffing level handle? ▪How can Library facilitate and enhance social and emotional learning and development? ▪What is the scope of the Library’s role in the community—our perspective vs. the community’s view? ▪Not counting our City Council Liaison, how much of a priority is the Library to the Council? ▪Does the staff position “Library Page” still make sense? ▪What will be the role of artificial intelligence at the Library? ▪Should taxes be our primary funding source, or should we generate additional revenue? ▪Does Columbia Heights have any type of literacy coalition unaffiliated with the schools (generally a non-profit or community group)? ▪Should city residents automatically get a library card? ▪How are libraries unique as a public service? ▪Is there a synergy between CH Library and the little free libraries? ▪What tasks cannot be automated? b.

The Minutes of the January 3rd and January 13th, 2024, Board Meetings were moved and approved. 3. Review 2024 Operating Budget: 8.47% of the year and 5.93% expended; no concerns raised. Community Forum: Opportunity for public input. No correspondence. One member of the public remotely in attendance. Old Business: 4. Strategic Directions: The Board reviewed Version 2.0 of the Strategic Directions 2024-2026 document and agreed that it was a good framework to focus on in the coming years (see Agenda Packet for full list). Additional ideas brought up during this meeting were: organize our network of past/future partnerships to help (re)establish the connections for future collaboration; boost accessibility (eg. standing desk computer option, video conferencing access); niche/focused displays (eg. comedian memoirs); display suggestion box to gather insight from patrons; consider shelf-talkers to help merchandise the collection; and making “What is the Board reading?” an official item of future meetings (plus use for social media posts). a.

Website Redesign Process: Revize (host of the City website) will be meeting with Renee and the City Communication team next week to discuss the steps of moving forward with the proposed Library micro-site. New Business: 6. City-wide Book Club: Justice Spriggs would like the city to host a book club and wanted to get the Board’s opinion on the subject; it is still in the feasibility and planning stages. The thought was to frame it around a book like Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America, One Step at a Time by Jeff Speck to help gain support and educate people on the benefits of building community around people rather than automobiles. The Board liked the idea, but advised that when nonfiction books are chosen for Book Clubs they are generally narrative nonfiction that tells a story. Previous attempts at a city-wide Book Club, were not well attended, and many had not read the book. 22 Item 3. 7. After-School Community Learning Grant: The Library and Recreation were approached by the school district about applying for an after-school learning grant through the Minnesota Department of Education; after losing out on the last round of federal grants for 21st Century Learning Centers. Applications are due by February 22, and programming will begin in May, so it is a quick turn-around. The partners (Library, Recreation, School District) will focus on programming for youth in grades 1-5. 8. Tri-Metro Arts Collective Exhibition Application: In the absence of a defined CHPL Public Art Committee, the Library Board reviews and approves art exhibition applications. The current application has been submitted by Columbia Heights Public School art teacher, Sarah Honeywell, and would be comprised of student artwork (mostly 2D, but potentially some sculptures). The exhibition hopes to attract the area’s teen population to the library; it will consist of a juried showcase event and continuing exhibition from April -May 2024. The Board made a motion to approve the application by the Tri-Metro Arts Collective; it was seconded and unanimously approved. Director’s Update: 9. December Board Report: Provided as an FYI. 10.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION FOR BUSINESS MEETING DATE 04/08/2024 ITEM: Approval of Resolution 2024-31 Requesting Funds from the Anoka County HRA DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney 4/4/24 CITY STRATEGY: _Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel X economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods _Equity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services _Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population BACKGROUND: Community Development staff are bringing forth the yearly payment for the City’s share of the Anoka County Regional Economic Development partnership. The City pays its share of the costs using the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority’s levy (ACHRA levy). Staff thought it pertinent to give some background information on the ACRED partnership and the ACHRA levy. Staff recommend the use of the ACHRA levy to pay for the City’s share of the costs as most of the participating communities utilize the same funding path. In 2007, The Anoka County Board of Commissioners authorized the ACHRA to exercise powers of an economic development authority pursuant to Section 469.1082 of the EDA Act. These powers were only authorized in cities or townships within the county that adopted a resolution electing to participate in the ACHRA levy. In 2007, the City adopted said resolution and has continued to participate ever since. As part of the levy, the city agreed to four conditions: (1) to participate for a minimum of five years (which was renewed in 2022), (2) the ACHRA may levy an additional property tax, (3) the ACHRA may deduct a 15% administration fee from the levied property tax, and (4) the ACHRA would retain absolute authority and discretion in determining whether a fund reimbursement request meets the statutory objectives. The levied tax comes back in the form of an economic development fund which can be accessed via request submitted to the ACHRA. The ACHRA reviews the request to ensure it meets the economic development criteria. The 15% ACHRA administration fee is utilized by the ACHRA to fund staff and other related programs. The ACHRA is responsible for the administration of Federal, State, and other Anoka County Programs. For example, the counties low income housing rehabilitation loan program. Over the life of the levy, the EDA has utilized the funding for a multitude of projects. These projects include but are not limited to: 3989 Central redevelopment project and the related cell tower replacement, remediation of the Root Property, land acqu isition, building demolition, and the redevelopment of the new library. It is undeniable that the City and the EDA have considerably benefitted from the flexibility of and access to this levy funding. On September 24, 2018, the City of Columbia Heights (the “City”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and a Voluntary Cost Sharing Agreement (renewed 3/28/2022)(the “Agreements”) with Anoka County and the other municipalities of Anoka County. The Agreements Created the Anoka County Regional 41 Item 8. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 Economic Development initiative (“ACRED”) and addressed the need for the cost-sharing of website services, social media support, and marketing assistance. While the cities of Anoka County pay for the budget of ACRED, the county pays for the Economic Development managers salary and benefits. The manager of ACRED runs the website (https://www.anokacountysuccess.org/) and continuously works to market the communities to external developers and businesses. Over the past 6 years, the City has utilized ACHRA levy funds to cover the City’s portion of financing ACRED. Resolution No. 2024-31 effectively requests $1,231.00 from the ACHRA levy to pay the City’s yearly voluntary contribution to ACRED. The City’s payment is based on the number of residents multiplied by a rate of $0.057 per individual. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2024-31, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to approve Resolution No. 2024-31, a resolution requesting funds from the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority to support economic development activities within the City of Columbia Heights.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City does hereby request that the ACHRA contribute the sum of $1,231.00, as a voluntary contribution to the economic development activities described in the Agreements.

ITEM: First reading of Ordinance 1695, Creating a Time of Sale requirement Within the City of Columbia Heights. DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 4/5/24 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: X Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership X Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND Municipalities in Minnesota are authorized under state statute to create city-based inspection requirements for residential properties before sale. These inspections are generally referred to as “Truth in Housing Inspections”, “Point of Sale Inspections” or “Time of Sale Inspections”. The inspections are based upon individual criteria for minimum housing codes that are selected by each city. Ordinance 1695 Establishes a Time of Sale requirement through the creation of a Certificate of Property Maintenance requirement for the City of Columbia Heights. The Certificate of Property maintenance ensures that all inspections and related requirements of the Time of Sale program have been completed before the conveyance of a residential property with three or fewer units. Multifamily properties with four or more units are exempt. All sales, purchases, transfers, or conveyances are required to receive a certificate of property maintenance before the transfer of ownership. Ordinance 1695 establishes certain exemptions from this requirement which include but are not limited to , new construction, conveyance to a public body, conveyance by a sheriff, or transfer of a property for the purpose of demolition. To receive a Certificate of Property Maintenance the owner must apply for and complete an initial inspection. If the inspection identifies health and safety issues, the owner must fix the identified issues or present proof of a financial guarantee in the form of an escrow agreement, to be held by the title company. The financial guarantee ensures the City that the buyer can and will address the issues. Ordinance 1695 also requires the owner to complete a sewer line inspection and present the results as part of the application for the certificate of property mai ntenance. Once Ordinance 1695 takes effect, Community Development staff will begin the execution of the Time of Sale program. The program itself is the administration and enforcement of the requirements established by Ordinance 1695. The program outline is attached, and the council will consider a fee schedule change at their April 22nd meeting to establish the Time of Sale Inspection fee. Ultimately, the establishment of a Time of Sale program seeks to improve the aging housing stock found throughout Columbia Heights. Other communities with similar, pre and post -war development, utilize time of sale programs to maintain the quality of their rapidly aging housing stock. The City Council identified these CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION FOR BUSINESS MEETING DATE 04/08/2024 80 Item 11. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 issues in their 2023 Strategic Plan. Passed at the April 10th, 2023 council meeting, the strategic plan highlights the City’s need for stable/rising property values (Obj 4c) and strong infrastructure (Obj 5). The strategic plan even sets a specific goal for the evaluation of a time-of-sale program (Opportunity Goal 14). Establishing a Time of Sale inspection requirement will ensure that health and safety issues are thoroughly identified and addressed as the City’s housing stock and population continue to evolve. In addition to ensuring the health and safety of the City’s housing stock, the Time of Sale program will help mitigate secondary issues that plague Columbia Heights. Due to the City’s lower property values, Columbia Heights is a prime target for unlicensed house flippers. Building inspections staff are constantly finding unpermitted and often shoddy work being completed on older homes in an attempt to sell them for a larger profit. Leaving unsuspecting buyers holding the bill on repairs when these items fail. Another secondary effect is regarding the re quired sewer inspection. In requiring a sewer inspection as part of the Time of Sale program, the City seeks to identify and limit the amount of infiltration and inflow (I & I) of rain water entering its sanitary sewer systems. Over the past few years, the City has worked hard to limit the I & I that seeps into the system. Every ounce of water that enters is an additional cost to the City's sewer bill which gets passed on to the City’s residents. Identifying and repairing individual sewer lines not only helps the entire community but also helps modernize the City’s aging infrastructure, which still has homes that utilize clay sewer lines. In conclusion, the implementation of Ordinance 1695 and the establishment of the Time of Sale program represent significant strides for Columbia Heights in addressing its aging housing stock. By requiring comprehensive inspections before property conveyance, the City aims to safeguard resident well-being and maintain housing infrastructure quality. This initiative aligns with strategic objectives outlined in the City Council's 2023 Strategic Plan and is expected to mitigate issues such as unlicensed house flipping and sewer system infiltration. Overall, the Time of Sale program demonstrates Columbia Heights' commitment to fostering a vibrant and sustainable community for its residents.

ORDINANCE NO. 1695 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 5A OF THE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY CODE TO ESTABLISH THE CERTIFICATE OF PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND ITS ASSOCIATED REQUIREMENTS, AND ALSO AMENDING PARALLEL REFERENCES TO REFLECT THE SECTION CHANGES The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1 § 5A of the Columbia Heights City Code is hereby amended to read as follows, to wit: § 5A.101 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE. (A) These regulations shall be known as the Property Maintenance Code of The City of Columbia Heights hereinafter referred to as "this code". (B) The provisions of this code shall apply to all existing residential and nonresidential structures and all existing premises and constitute minimum requirements and standards for premises, structures, equipment and facilities for light, ventilation, space, heating, sanitation, protection from the elements, life safety, safety from fire and other hazards, and for safe and sanitary maintenance; the responsibility of owners, operators and occupants; the occupancy of existing structures and premises, and for administration, enforcement and penalties. (C) This code shall be construed to secure its expressed intent, which is to protect the character and stability of all premises within the city; to correct and prevent conditions that adversely affect or are likely to adversely affect the life, safety, general welfare, and health; to provide minimum standards for the maintenance of existing property and to thus prevent substandard property and blight; and to preserve the value of land and buildings throughout the city. Existing structures and premises that do not comply with these provisions shall be altered or repaired to provide a minimum level of health and safety as required herein. (D) If a section, division, sentence, clause or phrase of this code is, for any reason, held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this code. (E) With respect to disputes between property owners (owners) and tenants, and except as otherwise specifically provided by terms of this code, the City Council (Council) will not intrude upon the accepted contractual relationships between owners and tenants. The Council will not intervene as an advocate of either party, nor will it act as an arbiter, nor will it be receptive to complaints from owners or tenants, which are not specifically and clearly relevant to the provisions of this code. In the absence of such relevancy with regard to rental disputes, it is intended that the contracting parties exercise such legal sanctions as are available to them without the intervention of city government. In enacting this code, the Council does not intend to interfere or permit interference with legal rights to personal privacy. (F) Section 5A.5 establishes the requirement of obtaining a Certificate of Property Maintenance. The purpose of this section is to establish, in city code, the legal underpinnings for the City’s Time of Sale Inspection Program.

This chapter also applies to the sale of a Dwelling or Dwelling Unit by a personal representative or guardian appointed by a probate court or a sale ordered by a probate court. (2) If a property changes ownership without a certificate of property maintenance or temporary certificate of property maintenance having been issued by the city, the new owner(s) shall be responsible for doing so upon acquisition of the property.

(2) Fee. At the time of application, the applicant for a certificate of property maintenance must pay the property maintenance inspection fee appropriate for the type of building the request is for as set forth in the city's fee schedule. (D) Inspection. 83 Item 11. (1) Application.

Connection Points: Inspect and verify the integrity of the sewer line at key connection points, such as junctions and cleanouts. Compliance: Confirm compliance with relevant codes and regulations. (E) Compliance; expiration. (1) When the property use is legal in accordance with city zoning requirements and the property complies with all applicable building, fire, health and property maintenance codes, a certificate of property maintenance will be issued by the city. (2) A certificate of property maintenance remains valid and may be used for the transfer of property for a period of one year from the date of the certificate's issuance. The certificate of property maintenance may only be used for property transfer by the owner named on the certificate of property maintenance or the owner's legal representative. (F) Temporary certificate of property maintenance. A temporary certificate of property maintenance may be issued by the city permitting the transfer of property, providing: (1) No unsafe or hazardous conditions exist on such property. (2) An agreement by the buyer, seller or other responsible person has been executed with the city, whereby the buyer, seller or other responsible person agrees to complete corrections to the property. (3) A financial guarantee in the form of a cash escrow to ensure completion of any corrections to the property is posted with an attorney or title company.

Chapter 429, as it may be amended from time to time, for abatement of nuisances and specifically for the removal or elimination of public health or safety hazards from private property. Any assessment levied thereunder shall be payable in a single installment unless a different payment schedule is authorized by Council resolution. The intent of this section is to authorize the city to utilize all of the provisions of this code and of Minnesota law to protect the public's health, safety and general welfare.

City of Columbia Heights | Community Development 3989 Central Ave Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 ▪ Ph: 763-706-3670 ▪ Fax: 763-706-3671 ▪ www.columbiaheightsmn.gov Time-of-Sale (TOS) Housing Inspection Program Scope: The Time-of-Sale (TOS) Housing Inspection Program provides potential purchasers with information about the condition of a dwelling and requires the correction of immediate hazards or assumption of hazards by the new buyer. The time of sale program plays an important role in maintaining the value and quality of the housing stock in Columbia Heights. A Time-of-Sale Housing Inspection must be completed, and a Time-of-Sale Housing Evaluation Report must be filed with the City of Columbia Heights prior to the sale of all single, two, and three family dwellings, condominiums, townhouses, and mobile homes. Multi-family rental buildings of four (4) or more units are not included. A Time of Sale Inspection application will need to be filled out, and the fee paid before an inspection can be scheduled. Inspections take, on average, 45 minutes to an hour to complete. Scheduling the inspection as soon as possible is important as the inspection schedule can fill up quick. Final inspections after corrections are made take around 30 minutes. During the inspection, the building inspector looks for items in the home that present safety or maintenance concerns. Following the inspection, the homeowner receives a “fix it” list that spells out the repairs that will be needed to bring the property into compliance with city codes. The home seller must make the specified repairs and have the home re-inspected before a Certificate of Property Maintenance will be issued for the completion of the sale. The initial and final inspections are covered by the application fee. A $65.00 charge will apply for each inspection needed thereafter. Immediate Hazardous Items: Nine items not meeting current codes or standards have been identified as immediate hazards which are conditions or defects likely to cause injury to a person or property if not corrected. 1. Heating systems that are unsafe due to burned out or rusted heat exchangers; burned out, rusted or plugged flues; no vent; connection with unsafe gas supplies; or incapacity to adequately heat the living space. (requires certification from a licensed contractor may be omitted if appliances have been replaced recently) 2. Water heaters that are unsafe due to burned out or rusted heat exchangers; burned out, rusted or plugged flues; no vent; connection with unsafe gas supplies; or lack of temperature and pressure relief valves. (requires certification from a licensed contractor may be omitted if appliances have been replaced recently) 3. Electrical systems that are unsafe due to dangerous overloading; damaged or deteriorated equipment; improperly taped or spliced wiring; exposed uninsulated wires; temporary distribution systems; ungrounded systems; or extension cords used with permanent appliances (e.g., garage door openers and window unit air conditioners). (requires certification from a licensed contractor) 90 Item 11. Page 2 4. Plumbing systems that are unsanitary due to leaking waste systems, fixtures or traps; lack of an operating toilet; lack of washing and bathing facilities; cross connection of municipal water supply with fixtures or sewage lines; or the lack of water. 5. Structural systems, including walls, chimneys, ceilings, roofs, foundations, floor systems or decks which are not capable of carrying imposed loads. 6. Exterior roofs, walls, chimneys and foundations that are not weather tight and water tight to the extent that it creates an immediate hazard. 7. Abandoned fuel tanks. 8. Refuse, garbage, human waste, decaying vermin or other dead animals, animal waste, vermin infestation or other materials rendering residential building and structures unsanitary for human occupancy. 9. Lack of properly located and operational smoke detectors. Correcting Hazardous Conditions or Buyer Assumes Hazards: When hazardous items are identified by the TOS Evaluator, a TOS re-inspection must be scheduled with the City of Columbia Heights to follow up and determine whether the hazardous condition has been corrected. If an immediate hazard exists, it must be corrected, and if the dwelling is occupied, corrective action must be taken by the owner or the owner’s agent. If the dwelling is vacant, it cannot be occupied until all hazards are corrected. If the owner / seller cannot or will not undertake corrective action, the buyer may elect to assume the immediate hazards identified in the Time-of-Sale Housing Evaluation Report. A buyer intending to assume the hazards must first obtain written consent from the City of Columbia Heights Building Official by signing, in person, a Hazard Correction/Responsibility form. Proof of a financial guarantee in the form of a cash escrow at least equal to the determined valuation of repairs must be posted with an attorney, closing company, or title company to ensure the completion of the necessary corrections. The minimum escrow amount is $500. The city does not hold escrow checks. The owner or the owner’s contractor(s) must obtain the necessary permits from the City of Columbia Heights and the dwelling is subject to City of Columbia Heights re-inspection of all open permits prior to occupancy. Sewer Line Inspection: As part of this program the seller is required to have the sewer line of the house televised. Proof of the inspection must be submitted to both the building official and any potential buyer of the property. Unlike other hazards or corrections, proof of escrow is not required but the required repairs follow the same assumption of responsibility outlined above. General Time of Sale Inspection Timeline: 1. Owner submits the Application for Time of Sale Inspection to the inspections department and schedules the inspection. 2. The city inspector inspects the property highlighting any required fixes if there are any applicable. 3. The homeowner completes the required fixes or presents the inspections department with 91 Item 11. Page 3 proof that funds for the repairs are held in escrow. 4. At the same time the homeowner hires an inspector to conduct a sewer inspection submitting the results to the inspections department alongside the Sewer Inspection Cover Page. 5. Once all repairs are complete/proof of escrow is received, and all documentation is submitted the Inspector will issue the homeowner the Certificate of Property Maintenance, allowing the home to be sold. 92 Item 11. -Public Notice Ad Proof- Ad ID: 1383914 Copy LIne: April 8 PH 1st Reading Ord No. PO Number: Start: 03/29/24 Stop: 03/29/2024 Total Cost: $97.75 # of Lines: 72 Total Depth: 8.028 # of Inserts: 1 Ad Class: 150 Phone # (763) 691-6000 Email: publicnotice@apgecm.com Rep No: CA700 Date: 03/26/24 Account #: 414681 Customer: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Address: 3989 CENTRAL AVE NE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Telephone: (763) 767-6580 Fax: (763) 706-3637 This is the proof of your ad scheduled to run on the dates indicated below.

BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUN- CIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA Published in The Life March 29, 2024 1383914 93 Item 11. ITEM: Minor Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment) 334 and 344 40 th Avenue NE DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner – 04/03/2024 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 X Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND Michael Gondek, owner of Gondek Properties LLC, has requested approval of a Minor Subdivision, per City Code Section 9.104 (k), for abutting parcels of land located at 334 and 344 40th Avenue NE. The applicant owns both properties and requests a lot line adjustment to fully locate the parking area onto the commercial property at 334 40th Ave NE from the single-family lot at 344 40th. The proposed lot line adjustment will allow the commercial parking area to be fully located on the commercial parcel at 334 4 0th Ave NE. The properties are both zoned GB-General Business with 334 40th occupied by a small two-tenant commercial building and 344 40th occupied by a single-family home. The interior side yard parking lot setbacks for both the commercial property and residential property are legally not conforming; the residential property is also a legal nonconforming use. The properties are located near commercial uses to the west, northwest, and southwest. To the north and east of the subject sites there are single-family homes. The applicant proposes to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway easement and 20’ X 20’ parking easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single-family parcel to guarantee future users/owners of the single-family residential property access and parking on the commercial property. The residential property has parking to the rear of the site that is accessible from the alley to the south ensuring that should the easement be vacated in the future, th ere will be adequate parking on-site. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Lot Requirements. The proposed lots meet the minimum lot area and width requirements of the applicable GB-General Business zoning district; 334 40th Avenue has a proposed lot area of 15,230 sq. ft. with a width of 132 feet and 344 40th Avenue NE has a proposed lot area of 6,290 sq. ft. and width of 43 feet . According to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within GB Districts must have a minimum lot area of 6,000 square feet and a minimum width of 40 feet. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE APRIL 8, 2024 94 Item 12. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 Setbacks. The proposed lot line adjustment will result in a change to side yard structure setbacks and make the nonconforming side yard parking lot setbacks compliant . According to Section 9.110.C of the Zoning Ordinance, lots within the GB District do not have side yard setback requirements, as structures can be placed right up to the side yard property line, but there are parking lot side yard setbacks of five (5) feet. The proposed lot line adjustment will bring the existing commercial parking area fully onto the commercial lot. The side yard setback for the parking area after the adjustment will result in a compliant 5 -foot setback for both properties. Easements. The submitted survey does not illustrate any drainage and utility easements upon the subject properties. Thus, it is not necessary to vacate an easement along the shared side lot line. As previously mentioned, the applicant is also proposing to establish a 35’ X 16’ driveway eas ement, and 20’ X 20’ parking easement on the commercial property (post lot line adjustment) that will be in favor of the single -family parcel. Recording. As a condition of minor subdivision approval, the applicant will be responsible for filing the approved subdivision with the Anoka County Recorder’s Office. If the minor subdivision is not filed with the Anoka County recorder’s Office within one year of the date of City Council approval, it will become invalid.
