support, and support groups. Legal advocacy is provided for anyone who needs to file an
order of protection, a harassment restraining order, or whose perpetrator has been
arrested and is being charged. They respond 24/7 to Mercy Hospital and Unity Campus.
Support groups are held for sexual assault victims and elder victims. They also take
referrals for therapy and have a partnership with Conscious Healing. She noted that they
provide community education and training for law enforcement, schools, health care, etc.
There are several volunteer opportunities at Alexandra House such as working directly with
people who come for services, helping with donations, facility maintenance, and others. All
information can be found at alexandrahouse.org.
Ms. Moore noted that there was an increase in 2023 in requests for services. There was a
19% increase in the emergency shelter services and a 38% increase in housing and
supportive services. There was a 50% increase in youth services, a 13% increase in hospital

House is looking into funding at the next legislative session since they did not get the
funding they were hoping for last year.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
9. Ceasefire and Humanitarian Aid in Gaza.
Mayor Márquez Simula read a statement before reading the Resolution. The statement
highlighted that the Resolution was created with collective voices from the community. She
added that she pledged her support for a ceasefire which laid the groundwork for the
Resolution brought forth to the City. She thanked the community members who shared
their stories and helped shape the Resolution. She noted that there have been automated
emails sent, potentially originating from non-local sources that underscore the
complexities inherent in engaging community sentiment. She reaffirmed her commitment
to amplify the authentic voices of the constituents. She invited Councilmembers to share
their perspectives.
Councilmember James thanked those who have reached out to her and noted that she has
received 118 calls and emails with 50 people identifying themselves as Columbia Heights
residents with all of them expressing their support for the Resolution . She added that
personally she believes that the Council needs to vote in favor of the Resolution.

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 26, 2024
City Council Meeting Page 4
Councilmember Jacobs read a statement that highlighted her support for the humanitarian
efforts for all those involved in the conflict and how she was moved by listening to the
stories of those effected. She expressed her concern regarding the Mayor’s recorded video
statement at the February 12, 2024 meeting since the Mayor noted that the Council had
been working on the Resolution for weeks but it was not presented to the Council until
February 5, 2024. In order to get the item on the next Council meeting, the Council had to
meet at 9:30 pm in order to make edits. She stated it felt like a rushed process. She noted
that not many cities have participated in the cease fire resolution and that San Francisco’s
mayor had explained the cease fire resolution has left the city angrier and more divided.
Out of the 70 emails and phone calls she received, only three identified themselves as City
residents. She noted that those who have expressed support for the cease fire resolution
are not in the majority of the residents and the Council was not elected to represent and
address State or Federal issues. She encouraged the community to engage in a letter
writing campaign to State and Federal representatives in order to come together to
achieve a common goal. She added that she cannot put her name on a document that is
not clearly supported by the residents of the community. She asked that the Council table
the item until the Council has enough time for discussion.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs to table Resolution 2024-20, a resolution of the City
Council for the City of Columbia Heights, calling for ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza.
Motion failed for a lack of a second.
Councilmember Jacobs stated that she would provide City Clerk Ion with her statement so
that it could be included into the minutes.
Councilmember Buesgens noted that this has been a journey for her. She researched cease
fire resolutions that have been done in other cities and read comments from other
councilmembers that had voted yes in their cities where councilmembers explained they
voted yes to give a voice to their constituents. She stated as a Councilmember, she is
responsible to her constituents and would not be bullied into not doing her job of giving a
voice.
Councilmember Spriggs read a written statement expressing his support for the cease fire
Resolution. He noted that all politics are local and he has received the most emails
regarding this topic. He highlighted that the fighting needs to stop on all sides and that it
has been difficult to hear about the 31,000 Palestinian lives that have been taken. This is
about humanity. Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza are without basic human
necessities. He added that the acts of Hamas on October 7, 2023 were horrific and
unjustifiable but recognized that the people of Palestine are not Hamas.
Mayor Márquez Simula explained that she is part of the Regional Council of Mayors and
recently had a meeting with the U.S. Department of State regarding international affairs
and helping economic growth in the City. She expressed her appreciation for the Council
speaking up.

Councilmember Jacobs mentioned that she had shared her statement with her State and
Federal Representatives.
Mayor Márquez Simula explained that during the Council work session, she brought a few
versions of the Resolution to the Council to see if there was any interest in voting and
discussing it. Four of the Councilmembers expressed their interest during the work session.
It was decided that Councilmember Buesgens and Mayor Márquez Simula would work with
the Interim City Manager and City Attorney to create the final Resolution.
Mayor Márquez Simula read Resolution 2024-20.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember James, to read and
adopt Resolution 2024-20, a resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights,
calling for ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza. A roll call vote was taken. 4 Ayes, 1 Nay,
Motion Carried 4-1. Ayes: Buesgens, Márquez Simula, Spriggs, James. Nay: Jacobs.
Mayor Márquez Simula thanked those who attended the meetings and entrusted the
Council with their stories. She added that her role is to elevate the voice of the community.
10. Review and Authorization of an Amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
City Planner Boucher stated in late 2022, staff were informed that Medtronic intended to
vacate their Columbia Heights campus located at 800 53rd Avenue NE. The property was
listed for sale in December of 2022, and staff collaborated with the listing broker to provide
guidance on potential parameters for redevelopment of the site. Currently, the entire
11.74-acre site is fully within the Shoreland Overlay District and zoned GB-General Business
which allows for a variety of commercial uses but does not include provisions to allow
residential development. Given the large size of the property and its desirable location,
staff believe that a variety of uses could be considered at this location, including high -
density residential. Despite the redevelopment potential for the site, there is no specific
guidance in the City’s Comprehensive Plan to direct a different use of the property. The
current plan simply guides the site for commercial use under the assumption that
Medtronic will remain the primary user.
City Planner Boucher noted following the listing of the property, Staff received a handful of
inquiries from redevelopers over the course of a few months. Staff advised interested
developers that the City viewed the site as a p rime prospect for redevelopment, but
specific guidance for the site has not been developed at this time. Therefore, additional
planning must be undertaken to start creating parameters for the potential rezoning/re-
guiding of the site before redevelopment can occur. HKGi, who prepared the 2040
Comprehensive Plan, was contracted to develop a design framework and conduct
engagement activities including evaluating the redevelopment site and the neighborhood
context, facilitating meetings and workshops with Staff, City Council and Planning
Commission, and the neighborhood to establish redevelopment goals with a focus on land
use and design elements.
10
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 26, 2024
City Council Meeting Page 6
City Planner Boucher explained Initial work has included evaluating the redevelopment site
and neighborhood context through internal Staff meetings and workshops in the form of a
Joint Session of the Planning Commission and City Council on November 16, 2023. The Joint
Session allowed for some consensus to be reached regarding the core land use and design
elements that have been established thus far, these core elements include the following:
Scale high density residential towards Central Avenue and lower density housing
such as townhomes near Sullivan Lake
Street designs that incorporate stormwater management features
Integrate public/private spaces
Focus on Sullivan Lake and expansion of Sullivan Lake Park as existing community
assets
Improve Sullivan Lake water quality
Targeted residential density of 450-600 units
Limited commercial/retail development
City Planner Boucher mentioned these land use and design frameworks were refined into
two concepts which were presented to the public at an Open House engagement event
held on January 9, 2024. The event was extremely well attended and served as the
beginning of a two-week online public engagement period from January 9th through
January 24th where community members provided feedback on the concepts presented.
City Planner Boucher stated HKGi has provided a summary report that documents the
proposed changes to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The primary Changes that are
proposed are as follows:
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) land use text description
Implementation chapter update to reflect the need for r ezoning of the site
Adding to the Opportunity areas with an Area 5 section describing the new site
and changing the site’s future land use designation from Commercial to TOD.
Technical tables will be adjusted based on projections changing and forecasts for
additional population and housing units: o Regional Setting o Socioeconomic
(Household and Employment) o Sewer o Transportation Analysis Zones
o Transportation demand
City Planner Boucher noted that the Planning Commission has reviewed the item and has
recommended approval.
Councilmember Jacobs asked where the proposed commercial space was located. City
Planner Boucher replied that it is in the building located on 53rd Avenue.
Councilmember James stated she thought it was a wonderful plan and was happy to see
the expansion of the park. She noted there was still only one access point and asked if it
was adjustable. Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager Chirpich replied
that there are two access points off of 53rd Avenue.

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 26, 2024
City Council Meeting Page 7
Mayor Márquez Simula noted that these are simply concepts and not something that is
currently being built. The examples show the Council and the public that there are options
for what could happen but if the Comprehensive Plan is not changed, then the options are
more limited. Tonight’s meeting is to specifically vote on the recommendation to the
Comprehensive Plan.
Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. Community Development
Director/Assistant City Manager Chirpich explained that this item was not intended to be a
public hearing and does not need a motion to close the public hearing.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs, to waive the
reading of draft Resolution No. 2024-013, there being ample copies available to the public.
All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs, to adopt
Resolution No. 2024-013, a resolution of the City Council for the City of Columbia Heights,
authorizing the proposed amendment of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan per the staff report
and recommending the City proceed with sending the amendment to the Metropolitan
Council. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 1691, an Ordinance proposing vacation of roadway, alley,
and right-of-way easements serving 1650 40th Avenue NE.
City Planner Boucher mentioned that the City was the applicant for this item. The City is
vacating these easements because the current configuration does not accurately reflect
the right-of-way that was constructed and is proposing new easements to serve these
properties. There are three proposed roadway easements that are to be vacated. Exhibit A
and B show the existing roadway easements per Document No. 217962 and 727283 as well
as all of the alley per Waltons 1st Subdivision of Reservoir Hills which are all subjects of this
roadway easement vacation and Exhibit C shows the new proposed easement.
City Planner Boucher noted Section 9.104 (J) of the Zoning Ordinance and Section 111 of
the City Charter outlines certain findings of fact that must be met in order for the City
Council to grant approval for an easement vacation. The findings are as follows: The City
Council shall make each of the following findings before vacating a street, alley, or other
public right-of-way:
a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. Th is is
correct.
b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. This is
correct.
City Planner Boucher explained Staff has coordinated with the City Engineer who has been
provided copies of the application materials and had no concerns with the easement

vacation and proposed easements ensuring that the City will maintain the appropriate
access necessary for the right-of-way.
Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. There were no public comments.
Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to close the
hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1691, there being ample copies available
to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to set the second
reading of Ordinance No. 1691, an Ordinance proposing vacation of roadway, alley, and
right-of-way easements serving 1650 40th Avenue NE, for March 11, 2024, at
approximately 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 1692, an Ordinance proposing a new roadway, alley, and
right-of-way easement serving 1650 40th Avenue NE.
City Planner Boucher stated that the City is the applicant since it is the City’s easement.
Since the previous roadway easements were vacated, the City needs to a new easement to
reflect the accurate location of the right-of-way. Typically this would be done through a
plat, but since there are no additional lots it was not appropriate.
City Planner Boucher explained the City Council shall make each of the following findings
before vacating a street, alley, or other public right-of-way:
a) No private rights will be injured or endangered as a result of the vacation. This is
correct.
b) The public will not suffer loss or inconvenience as a result of the vacation. This is
correct.
City Planner Boucher added that Staff has coordinated with the City Engineer who has been
provided copies of the application materials and had no concerns with the easement
vacation and proposed easements ensuring that the City will maintain the appropriate
access necessary for the right-of-way.
Mayor Márquez Simula opened the public hearing. There were no public comments.

Buesgens where she learned there is a gap of activity through the District and the Parks and Recreation
Department for ages 3-5 years.
Councilmember James thanked the Council, Staff, and those who attended the meeting for helping
deal with such a heartfelt issue. She attended Coffee with a Cop at the Legends, a meeting with several
local Oromo business leaders, and the Buy Nothing giveaway event. She hosted a meeting with the
League of Women Voters, New Brighton Area Chapter. She added that she attended the Climate
Coalition meeting, a policy primer with a local progress organization , and signed a letter for Clean
Water Action Minnesota.
Councilmember Buesgens reminded the community to keep storm drains clean. She added that she
attended Coffee with a Cop at the Legends, the Sustainability Commission meeting, the School
District’s strategic planning meeting, and a Smart Salting Community leaders online workshop. She
encouraged the community to check out the University of Minnesota’s extension services because they
are using alternative turfs that do not require fertilizer and are low maintenance. She had the
opportunity to tour the career and technical education classrooms and had watched the neighborhood
watch meeting via zoom. She stated she read in the Northeast paper about bills in the making that
would prohibit plastic packaging from containing toxic chemicals as well as a bill where cities would be
able to decide if they want to ban plastic bags. She explained that plastic itself is not the problem, it is
the chemicals that plastic absorbs. She encouraged the community to call or write to representatives
to support the proposed bills.
Councilmember Jacobs added that she went on her first plow ride of the season and applauded those
who got their cars off the street. She noted that garbage and recycling cans need to be on the edge of
the curb instead of in the street so plows can get by.
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she attended the Sister City meeting, the Youth Commission
meeting, Coffee with a Cop at the Legends, the Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority
(MNCFIA) meeting, US Department of State meeting with the Regional Council of Mayors, the Buy
Nothing event, the League of Women’s Voters meeting with Councilmember James, the Parkview Villa
Black History Celebration, the HeightsNext pet bed workshop, and the Islamic Cultural Center Bazaar in
Fridley. She explained that the watermelon symbol has meaning in Palestine. The Palestine flag has
historically been banned at times in Israel when, and in an act of rebellion, people would wear the
symbol of a watermelon to represent the flags colors. She also attended the neighborhood watch
meeting. She mentioned there the broken trees outside of City Hall will be replaced.

Report of the City Manager
Interim City Manager Hansen stated the City provides two newsletters which focus on City news and
activities coming up. One newsletter is mailed quarterly and the other one is electronic and sent
monthly. Community members need to sign up in order to receive the enewsletter and can do that on
the City’s website.
Interim City Manager Hansen stated there would be an open house on March 7, 2024 from 5:30-7 pm
at City Hall in regard to the 40th Avenue planning efforts for the eventual reconstruction of 40th
Avenue.
Interim City Manager Hansen noted that the warmer and drier weather has allowed the City to do
things that typically cannot be done in the winter. A part of the projects being completed is improving
the conditions round the trail near the Medtronic site, Public Works Staff have been able to go out and
clean that trail. He mentioned that the union for the water treatment plant in Minneapolis have
decided to go on strike. It has been reassured there will be staff available to continue service for the
water and treatment so there is a plan in place for Columbia Heights to continue to get water from
Minneapolis.
Interim City Manager Hansen stated that applications for commissions close on February 29, 2024. He
encouraged those who were interested in joining a commission to apply. The openings include the
Planning, Parks and Recreation, Library, and Sustainability Commissions.
Police Chief Austin stated he has submitted his letter of retirement from the Columbia Heights Police
Department and will be on April 26, 2024. He shared that it has been one of the greatest jobs he has
held. He has been in this occupation for 35 years and with the City for 29 years. Mayor Márquez Simula
mentioned that in two weeks there will be a community survey and the City will conduct an internal
search for Chief Austin’s replacement. She noted that she would like to hear from the community on
what they would like to see in a Police Chief.
COMMUNITY FORUM
Sherri Brown, City resident, thanked the Council and Staff for their work. She expressed her concern
that there is a proposed demolition of 3851 and 3853 on Central Avenue. She noted that one of the
buildings is old but the other one is newly remodeled and wondered if there was a way to salvage
some of the newer material. Mayor Márquez Simula mentioned that she has received emails with
similar concerns. Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager Chirpich replied that Staff
recognize the concerns and agree that if there is a way to recycle some those materials, they would like
to do that. The owner has interest in recycling some of the windows. The City has worked with Habitat
for Humanity in the past, but they do not have crews that can help deconstruct. There are other
avenues that Staff would like to pursue to deconstruct before demolition.
Ms. Brown asked what would be happening in the area. Community Development Director/Assistant
City Manager Chirpich replied that there are no immediate plans but the land would be assem bled for
a larger redevelopment effort. It has been an ongoing effort of the City’s Economic Development
Authority to acquire the single-family homes along Central Avenue for redevelopment efforts. Ms.
15

City Council Meeting Page 11
Brown asked what the best way to receive additional information was. Community Development
Director/Assistant City Manager Chirpich replied to sign up for the electronic newsletter.
Dirk Schmitz, City resident, thanked Police Chief Austin for his years of service. He noted that
according to the Comprehensive Plan, there are roughly 6,000 residential units in the City. The City has
a limit on rental units for single-family homes per neighborhood. He asked what the reason was for the
number and wondered if there should be the same ratio of owner-occupied units as compared to
rental units for the same reason that there is a rental cap. He added his belief that there should be
more owner-occupied units in the City. He suggested finding an architect to design a development that
is unique to the City. This could include smaller units for new couples as well as nicer condominiums
and townhouses. He stated the City should help people have pride in owning their own home instead
of funding multimillion dollar corporations that are from out of town.
Chrisma McIntire, City resident, shared that she was surprised Columbia Heights is called the City of
Peace. She thanked Police Chief Austin for his service. She noted that the fabric of our society is
collapsing globally but offers an opportunity to rebuild in a positive manner. She added that global
issues are not being published. She emphasized the importance of fixing the problems that are near
and have the power to fix. She added “let us learn to listen to one another.” She thanked the Council
for their service.
Jennifer Pyper Muno, City resident, inquired as to the City Attorneys role in assisting the City Charter
Commission. She noted that while she worked with the recall committee and the team did their best to
ask questions in order to be prepared and ready in the 30 day window to collect signatures. She felt
that the recall committee may have received incorrect information from the previous City Attorney
and asked how it could have been avoided and if the City was doing anything to fix the Charter
language or to hold the previous City Attorney accountable. Additionally, she thanked the Council for
voting in favor of the ceasefire resolution.
Salam Sabha, business owner, thanked the Council for passing the cease fire resolution. He noted that
he has a business on University Avenue and 50th Avenue and on the frontage road of University
Avenue, there is a bus line and apartment buildings but no sidewalk or lights. He mentioned that the
City should consider placing a sidewalk on the frontage road. Mayor Márquez Simula explained that
Staff will provide an answer to this at the next Council meeting.
Kiki Latham, City resident, thanked the Council for the diversity that has been brought forth in the past
year. She added that she is proud of the Mayor for bringing forth the ceasefire. She expressed her
understanding that Councilmember Jacobs may have felt that the item was not brought up correctly,
but she did not think that mattered since what mattered was BIPOC people are being heard and seen.
She added that the focus should be to help the City. She mentioned that Councilmember Jacobs had
stated that the ceasefire was an international matter, yet she went to the Minnesota Supreme Court in
order to stay in her chair. In the same way, people need to do everything they can to help those in the
community and sometimes that means it is an international issue.

Márquez-Simula asked if President Szurek and Dibba could introduce themselves. President
Szurek stated that she has served on the EDA for 30 years and previously was on the City
Council and Planning Commission. Dibba mentioned that he has lived in Columbia Heights for
15 years and is originally from The Gambia West Africa. He added that he would like to
contribute to the community because he loves the City. He owns a beauty shop business and

Following ratification of the above motions, the newly elected President of the EDA will now preside

4. Designating the Official Depositories of the Economic Development Authority
Chirpich reported that the EDA is required to designate by resolution the depositories used for its
funds and investments. The Resolution 2024-02 follows the general format of resolutions passed in
previous years by the EDA and City. Most general banking transactions of the EDA and City are
conducted through Northeast Bank. Accounts are also maintained at U.S. Bank for certain
specialized services such as payroll and debt service payments.
Chirpich stated the only material difference between this proposed resolution and the resolution
adopted annually by the City Council is that the EDA resolution allows for the EDA’s funds to be
held in accounts under the name of the City. This has always been the EDA’s practice. Since the
creation of the EDA in 1996, it has never had a separate checking account under its own name. All
EDA expenditures since its inception have been made using checks drawn in the City’s name on
behalf of the EDA. Staff recommends maintaining these two banking relationships, as they meet
the EDA’s current needs, and provide capacity for addressing the EDA’s evolving needs for
electronic banking services. There is one difference between this year’s depositories and those of
2023. Wells Fargo is no longer used by the EDA for its payroll processing or any other transactions
and has been removed from the depository’s resolution.
Motion by Jacobs, seconded by Buesgens, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2024-02, there being

5. Asbestos and Personal Item Abatement for EDA Owned Properties Located at 941 44th Ave, 3853
Central Ave NE, and 3851 Central Ave NE.
Forney reported stated that the item is regarding approving bids for the removal of hazardous
material and household items from 941 44th Ave, 3853 Central Ave NE, and 3851 Central Ave NE.
Earlier this year, the EDA purchased the properties intending to demolish them and prepare the
sites for redevelopment. It is the intent of the fire department to utilize 3853 Central in a training
burn scenario. Due to this the abatement of household items and hazardous materials are being
bid separate from the demolition. The scope of work submitted in the bid request included the
removal of asbestos-containing materials, appliances, and accessories containing hazardous
materials, alongside the removal of the limited remaining household items. In response to the
request for bids, the EDA received one quote. The quote was submitted by Dennis Environmental
Operations who also recently completed the abatement of 243 5th St and 841 49th St. The Dennis
Environmental bid came in at $16,150, which pencils out to $5,383 per property. Looking at
previous projects, this is well within the expected range per property. Dennis Environmental
Operations shall furnish the services and necessary equipment to complete all work specified in the
scope of work. All work will be performed in accordance with OSHA regulations, Minne sota
23

EDA Meeting Page 7
Department of Health Asbestos Abatement Rules, and other applicable Federal and State
regulations. Dennis Environmental Operations shall insure proper clean up, transport, and disposal
of hazardous and asbestos-containing materials and household items.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Buesgens asked when the fire department would like to utilize the property. Forney replied in the
spring.
Márquez-Simula asked if any of the items such as windows, or cabinets in the property were
brought to ReStore instead of a landfill. Forney replied that appliances were taken by the fire
department and that they work with ReStore if there are eligible items. He added that a lot of the
items would not have qualified for ReStore since they were outdated. Chirpich added that a
company reached out and requested to have access to properties like this to take any items that
may be of value instead of it going to a landfill. Staff will follow up with the company.
Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Jacobs, to accept the bid of $16,150 by Dennis Environmental
Operations, for the removal of all hazardous materials and household items located at 941 44th
Ave, 3853 Central Ave NE, and 3851 Central Ave NE; and furthermore, to authorize the President
and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes
of present. MOTION PASSED.
6. Sale of 4243 5th Street to Habitat for Humanity
Forney reported in early 2023, representatives of the owner of 4243 5th Street approached the
community development Staff, expressing the desire to sell the blighted 1916 single-family home
on the site. To facilitate the acquisition and demolition, the EDA utilized income restricted pooled
TIF funds from its scattered site district. The overarching project aimed at selli ng the vacant lot to
Habitat for Humanity, allowing them to construct a single-family home for eventual sale to an
income-qualified owner-occupant. With the property now cleared through demolition, the next
step is its development, scheduled for the upcoming spring.
Forney added that the proposed purchase agreement, which staff presents for approval, formalizes
the key components previously discussed by the EDA. Notable points include the sale of the
property to Habitat for $1.00, the construction of a new 3-bedroom, 2-story single-family home by
Habitat for Humanity (with a floor plan endorsed by the EDA), and the requirement that the home
be sold to an income-qualifying family meeting the criteria of Habitat's affordable homeownership
program. The agreement accommodates Habitat's construction timeline (planned for this spring),
but sets the completion deadline for no later than December 31, 2025. Staff strongly recommends
approving the purchase agreement, marking a crucial step in what the City anticipates will be a
lasting partnership for fostering affordable homeownership within the City.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Buesgens asked how many Habitat for Humanity Homes are in the City. Forney replied that Staff do
not know how many are in the City. Habitat for Humanity has two types of programs; one is a 24

complete rebuild of lots while the other is rehabilitation. President Szurek noted that when she was
on the City Council, they did five Habitat for Humanity Homes.
Márquez-Simula asked if Staff would be able to find out how many Habitat for Humanity Homes are
in the City.
Buesgens asked if residents of a Habitat for Humanity home need to stay in the home for a certain
amount of time until they could sell it. Jacobs stated she thought it was seven to ten years.
Buesgens asked when the Habitat for Humanity house is sold if it would be at market rate or if it
remains an affordable house. Forney replied that it depends on the house and that a land trust is
put on it so that it would be sold back to Habitat for Humanity. He added that he believed it was 15
years and that it is recorded on the deed of the house. Buesgens suggested that there would be a
land trust on the properties.

President Szurek asked if there was an update on the development of 4300 Central Ave NE. Chirpich
replied that Staff have been meeting with Alatus and expect them to enter into land use approval soon.
It is still a goal to have break ground in 2024. There are continued discussions regarding the grocery
store with the biggest challenge being finances right now. There are no significant issues and the
project is still on track.
James noted that the sign next to the property, abutting Central Avenue has a banner that lists stores
that are no longer there. She asked if it was part of the remediation process to get rid of the sign.
Chirpich replied that it was not a part of the demolition scope but will come down as part of the
redevelopment process.
Márquez-Simula asked if there was a timeline. Chirpich replied there was no timeline established.
Chirpich explained that there would be an open house at City Hall at 6 pm on Tuesday, January 9, 2024
regarding the Medtronic site Comprehensive Plan amendment. He encouraged the EDA commissioners

BACKGROUND
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) makes funds available for outdoor recreation
activities through the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program. The maximum funding award available for the
current round of grants is $350,000; and awarded grant funding must be matched 50/50 by the grant
recipient.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The walking trail at Sullivan Lake Park is a very well used feature for outdoor recreation in Columbia Heights.
The existing paved bituminous trail has sections that are in poor condition, unsafe, poorly drained, and in need
of repair and reconstruction. An existing sheet piling retaining wall needs replacement; replacement will allow
for important safety upgrades including a handrail section. Sections of the trail do not currently meet
accessibility requirements and need to be upgraded to ensure access and usability by all residents and visitors.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends applying for funding from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for repair,
reconstruction, and accessibility improvements for the Sullivan Lake Walking Trail.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to Waive the reading of Resolution 2024-018, there being ample copies available to the

BACKGROUND
By three prior resolutions (2019-96, 2020-117, 2021-102), the city council has incrementally increased the
budget for project 2111, the Municipal Service Center Master Plan. This reflects the progression of the project
from an initial analysis of the conditions of the existing facility, to a needs analysis to scope the required
replacement facility, to a formal request for approximately $12 million in state matching funds to fund the
replacement, as follows:
Staff estimates preliminary design and environmental investigation for this project will cost $390,000 and the
related lobbying for the state funding will cost $50,000. Consequently, staff recommend amending the project
budget for an additional $175,000.
Staff notes for reference that project 2111 is recorded within the Government Building Fund s 411. The
primary funding sources for Government Building Fund 411 are state aid to local government (LGA) and
periodic transfers of available surplus from various operating funds.

BACKGROUND
At the beginning of 2023, the property owner of 1650 40th Avenue NE approached staff regarding the
replacement of an existing attached garage with a larger garage which would abut or encroach upon an area
of the site which lies within an existing roadway easement. The property owner informally requested an
easement/partial easement vacation in April 2023, but the City required additional review.
Upon further review, staff determined that the City would be the applicant and responsible for hiring a firm to
conduct the survey work. A contract for surveying services was executed with Pioneer Engineering to conduct
a survey, prepare existing (Exhibit A) and proposed conditions (Exhibits B and C), and provide descriptions for
the proposed easement.
Exhibit A and B show the existing roadway easements per Document No. 217962 and 727283 as well as all of
the alley per Waltons 1st Subdivision of Reservoir Hills which are all subjects of the vacation of the misaligned
easement and Exhibit C shows the new proposed easement accurately reflecting the right-of-way location.
Attached are the legal descriptions of the easements to be vacated and descriptions of the new easement to
be recorded per Exhibits A, B, and C. Once approved, the City is responsible for filing the vacations and
recording the new easements with Anoka County.
STAFF REVIEW
Staff has coordinated with the City Engineer who has been provided copies of the application materials and had
no concerns with the easement vacation and proposed easements ensuring that the City will maintain the
appropriate access necessary for the right-of-way.
FINDINGS OF FACT
Section 9.104 (J) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines certain findings of fact that must be met in order for the
City Council to grant approval for an easement vacation. The findings are as follows:

BACKGROUND
In 2023, the legislature passed a law that prohibits residential landlords from imposing a penalty or
terminating a lease based on conduct occurring off of the premises except in certain instances. This new law
will become effective June 1, 2024, and will require a change to Columbia Heights City Code Section 5A.401
regarding Conduct on Licensed Premises/Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease Requirements.
A memo from Scott Lepak, Interim City Attorney, outlining the change is attached, as is the Ordinance with
necessary changes highlighted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the first reading of this Ordinance, and that the second reading be scheduled for the March
25, 2024 City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1694, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading or Ordinance 1694, revising City Code Section 5A.410 regarding
Conduct on Licensed Premises/Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease Requirements for March 25,

MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Columbia Heights Mayor, Council and Manager
FROM: Scott Lepak, Interim City Attorney
RE: Revisions to City Code Section 5A.410 regarding Conduct on Licensed
Premises/Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease Requirements
DATED: February 28, 2024
This item relates to a Healthy and Safe Community.
The 2023 legislature passed a law that prohibits residential landlords from imposing a penalty or
terminating a lease based on conduct occurring off of the premises or curtilage of the premises
except in certain instances. The new law is at Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.171, Subd 2a and provides
that:
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 504B.171, Subd. 2a, a residential landlord may not impose a
penalty on a residential tenant or terminate the lease of a residential tenant for the
conduct of the residential tenant, household member, or guest occurring off of the
premises or curtilage of the premises, unless (1) the conduct would constitute a crime of
violence against another tenant, the tenant’s guest, the landlord, or the landlord’s
employees, regardless of whether a charge was brought or a conviction obtained; or (2)
the conduct results in a conviction of a crime of violence against a person unrelated to the
premises. For purposes of this subdivision, crime of violence has the meaning given in
section 624.712, subdivision 5, except that it does not include offenses under chapter 152.
This new law will become effective June 1, 2024.
As a result of a change in Minnesota Statutes, the City needs to amend City Code Section
5A.420 Conduct on Licensed Premises/Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease
Requirements to remove reference to conduct “near” the premises while at the same time
recognizing that certain off premises conduct may still be prohibited. The revised Code section
with the changes from the prior version noted are attached to this memorandum.
The City plans to provide an informational letter to existing residential landlords relating to this
change to further assist with this issue.
Requested Council Action:
Adopt First Reading on an Ordinance to Revise City Code Section 5A.410 Regarding Conduct
on Licensed Premises/Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease Requirements

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 3835 Van Buren Street NE

BACKGROUND
On February 25, 2024, the owner of 3835 Van Buren Street NE, reached out to the Community Development
Department requesting an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. Attached is the letter that
staff received. Section 1 of Ordinance 1685, which established the single-family rental density cap, states that:
“If the number of detached single-family dwellings rental properties meets or exceeds the permitted number
of rental properties per defined block on the effective date of the ordinance from which this section is derived,
a property owner may request a temporary license to allow an additional rental property for that block. The
City Council may grant or deny a temporary license in its sole discretion. Persons requesting a temporary
license must make an annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary rental license
for the same property for more than two consecutive years.”
As it is the homeowners’ right to appeal to the Council. Staff brought forth the appeal along with supporting
documents for discussion and review.
If approved, Resolution 2024-020 would grant a temporary rental license exemption to the homeowner with a
few additional requirements. The homeowner is required to complete the license application process within 3
months from the passage of the resolution. This puts a limit on how long they can take to bring the house into
rental compliance if needed. The temporary rental license will be valid for one year from the date that the
license is approved. This provides the homeowner and tenant the ability to rent th e home for a full one-year
lease. After the term of the temporary license, the persons requesting a temporary license must make an
annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary rental license for the same property
for more than two consecutive years.

Good afternoon,
I’m writing to you requesting a rental license for 3835 Van Buren St NE Columbia Heights.
I would like this to be voted on during the next city council meeting and have prepared a statement for it.
“Hello, my name is Chelsea I moved into my house at 3835 Van Buren St NE in 2023. I was expecting to
be here much longer, but I just got engaged and will be moving to my now fiancées house. With that being
said, I’m requesting a rental license for 3835 Van Buren St NE. This house would be professionally
managed by Algo Realty property management which is a local Columbia Heights brokerage and
property management company that is highly respected.”
Thank you,
Chelsea

BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Columba Heights, Minnesota (the “City”) as

grant the exemption requests for a span of one year, if the situation lasts longer than a year, the applicant can
re-apply for the temporary license but a property owner is only allowed a temporary license for no more than
two years; and,
WHEREAS, the City has received a request from the owner of 3835 Van Buren Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN
55421 to make an exception for the property and allow a new rental license to be issued.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City does hereby approve the exemption request for 3835 Van Buren

license, with the addition of the following requirements.
