PROCLAMATION
Indigenous Peoples’ Day: October 14, 2024
Minnesota is home to 11 federally recognized tribes; seven are Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), and four
are Dakota Oyate (Dakota). Celebrating Indigenous people on this day brings a moment for
education and awareness of the genocide that Indigenous communities endured during the
arrival of settler colonialism.
Recognizing today's importance allows us to acknowledge the significant contributions of
Indigenous people to our city, state, and nation. Indigenous nations in Minnesota continue to
face the effects of colonization and continued discrimination against their way of life,
language, traditions, and history through the legacy of the Indian Removal Act, Indian
boarding school policies, and other policies that infringed on Indigenous rights.
The legacy of state and federal policies is visible and present in the crises of Indigenous
communities and relatives suffering as unhoused persons or from the opioid epidemic.
Indigenous communities are fighting for justice in the historical and present crisis of Missing
and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives.
The community of Columbia Heights is called to reflect on and work towards better policies
and practices that center around Indigenous experiences and honor Indigenous sovereignty.
Columbia Heights is committed to being a race, equity, and inclusion leader and encourages
our community to honor Indigenous Peoples' Day by learning about, supporting, and
connecting with Indigenous communities and organizations.
Now, therefore, I Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby proclaim
October 14, 2024, as Indigenous Peoples' Day in the City of Columbia Heights, County of
Anoka, State of MN, U.S.A.

Item A.
PROCLAMATION
Domestic Violence Awareness Month: October 2024
Relationship abuse, defined as a pattern of behavior used to gain or maintain power and control
over an intimate partner occurs throughout Minnesota and across the nation. Systematic racism
and disparities affect victims and survivors of domestic violence, underscoring the importance of
ensuring everyone has access to the help they need. Domestic violence programs across the state,
including local organizations like Dwelling House and Alexandra House, provide crucial support
and resources to over 55,000 victims and survivors in Minnesota. These programs serve
individuals of all migrant statuses because no one should have to choose between staying in an
abusive relationship or finding safety.
Safe, affordable, and long-term housing is a fundamental human right, yet domestic violence
remains a leading cause of homelessness for women. Victims and survivors must be believed and
supported in their pursuit of justice, empowering others to come forward and hold those who
commit harm accountable. We remember the lives of over 700 Minnesotans lost to intimate partner
violence in the past three decades. Community collaboration is vital to ensuring the safety of
victims and survivors throughout Minnesota.
Preventing violence before it begins and transforming behavior after violence occurs is crucial to
our shared goal of a violence-free Columbia Heights and Minnesota.
Now, therefore, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness
Month in the City of Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.
As we observe Domestic Violence Awareness Month, let us remember the power of hope,
resilience, and community. Together, we can create a future where all individuals are safe,
supported, and free from violence. Let us stand united in our commitment to end domestic
violence and support those on their journey to healing and empowerment. No matter how small,
every action brings us closer to a world where love and respect prevail.

Item B.
PROCLAMATION
Breast Cancer Awareness Month: October 2024
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer among women across all racial and ethnic groups. Through
research and advocacy, significant advances have been made in the fight against breast cancer, including
increased rates of early detection. In Minnesota, women's 5-year relative survival rate is nearly 93 percent.
Nationally, more than 168,000 women and an unknown number of men are living with metastatic breast
cancer. At this devastating stage, cancer spreads beyond the breast to other parts of the body, such as the
bones, lungs, liver, and brain. Currently, no cure exists for metastatic breast cancer. Many individuals with this
stage of the disease continue treatment to extend their lives with the best quality possible.
American Indian and Black women face the highest mortality rates from breast cancer, followed by white
women. Black women, in particular, are often diagnosed at later stages, where treatments are limited or costly,
and the prognosis is poor. Men, due in part to a lack of awareness, are generally diagnosed at later stages of
breast cancer than women, which negatively impacts prognosis and treatment. Policymakers are urged to
address the issues affecting the breast cancer community, including the disparities in care and outcomes for
women of color in Minnesota.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness of the disease
and inspire continued action to build on the progress made.
I encourage everyone to take charge of their health by scheduling regular mammograms, performing self-
exams, and staying informed about early detection methods. These proactive steps are vital to maintaining
health and improving outcomes.
Now, Therefore, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, proclaim October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of
Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.

Parkview Villa (965 40th Ave) utilized these program resources and successfully completed
the Anoka County multifamily recycling program. Parkview Villa has a team of management
and community board members/owners who assisted in implementing the recommended
improvements.
Mayor Márquez Simula mentioned to achieve success with the program, Parkview Villa
used grant money from Anoka County to assist with improving and increasing recycling. All
residents received recycling training and a recycling guide. Additionally, they implemented
a program utilizing residential and common area sorting containers and recycling signage.
Parkview Villa also purchased (with grant money) reusable food service supplies for the
community room so they could stop using paper cups and plates. Columbia Heights and
Anoka County want to recognize Parkview Villa management, residents, and community
board/groups for showing how a teamwork approach can improve recycling in multifamily
buildings. In addition to the recognition received this evening, the City also offers a one-
month discount on city recycling charges for multifamily properties that complete the

Ordinances and Resolutions
14. Winter Parking Ordinance No. 1705, an Ordinance to amend Chapter 3 – Administrative
Code: 3.203 Police Department; and Chapter 7 – Traffic Code: 7.202 Parking and Stopping
Zones; 7.205 Prohibited non-moving violations; and 7.301 Authority for Impoundment.
Public Works Director Hansen explained the relationship between snow plowing, snow
removal, and winter parking has come up in discussions with the Council from time to time.
In 2023 changes were made at an administrative level to the beginning and ending times
shortening the time period for enforcement for the 2023/24 snow season. As this was the
first year – Staff suggested this be done on a pilot project basis and evaluate the
effectiveness of the change. This was reviewed and discussed with the Council at the April
2024 work session. At the August 2024 Council Corner and September 2024 work session,
the Council discussed changes to the amount of snow triggering our plowing activities and
making the time change above permanent.
Public Works Director Hansen mentioned that the Ordinance would have changes such as
changing the date from November 1 – April 1, to November 15 – March 15. As well as to
amend the triggering snowfall amount of three and a half inches to two inches. The
amendment would allow consistency of the date changes in four sections of the Ordinance.
Public Works Director stated the amendment to Chapter 3 – Administrative Code: 3.203
Police Department would be to remove section 7.205(N) and amend it to “No Parking
March 16 to May 1 when 2 inches or more of snow on the street”
Public Works Director mentioned that the amendment to Chapter 7 – Traffic Code: 7.202
Parking and Stopping Zones would be to remove section h and amend it to say “No permit
shall be valid except between November 15 of any year and March 15 of the next
succeeding year” and to remove section j and amend it to say “All permits shall expire on
March 15 of each year”.
Public Works Director explained the amendments to 7.205 Prohibited non-moving
violations would include removing section 8 and amending it to say “All permits granted
hereunder shall expire on March 15 of each year.” In addition, it would remove section N
12
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES September 23, 2024
City Council Meeting Page 5
Division M and amend it to say “(N) Division (M) of this section shall not be effective
between the dates of March 16 of each year and November 14 of the same year, said dates
being inclusive; provided, however, that division (M) of this section shall be applicable
between March 16 of each year and May 1 of each year, said dates being inclusiv e, to any
subject vehicle when snow has accumulated to a depth of two inches or more within the
traveled portion of any roadway that lies within six feet of the said vehicle.”
Public Works Director Hansen noted the amendments to 7.301 Authority for Impoundment
would not remove item B “No vehicle shall be impounded unless a tag is affixed to the
windshield ordering that said vehicle be towed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.”
He explained that the agenda packet mentions that it will be removed but it is a statutory
issue and cannot be removed. He added that items 1 and 2 would be removed and
amended it to say “(1) Between 2:00 a.m. on November 15 and 6:00 a.m. on March 15 of
the next succeeding year; and, (2) At least two inches of snow has accumulated within the
traveled portion of any roadway at any point not greater than 15 feet from any part of the
subject vehicle.”
Councilmember Buesgens asked about page 129, Item C, in the agenda packet when it
refers to the permitting process of parked vehicles. City Manager Chirpich explained that
there are several reasons a car can be impounded and that it must meet the requirements
to do so.
Councilmember James noted the top of page 127 of the agenda packet and asked why the
amendment was to change the date to March 16 when the previous section had the date
of April 1. Public Works Director Hansen replied that it was to account for late snowfalls.
Councilmember James expressed her excitement over the changes. She mentioned that
community members will need to remember to move their cars at the two-inch marker.
Councilmember Jacobs asked if the information would be included on the electric sign.
Public Works Hansen replied that it was the plan if the Council passed the Ordinance. They
would also include the information on social media and the newsletter.
Mayor Márquez Simula explained that there has been a lot of collaboration in order to get
the Ordinance to where it is.

15. First Reading of Ordinance 1706 Being an Ordinance Amending Chapter 5 Article vii of the
Columbia Heights City Code to Establish the Regulation and Registration of Cannabis-
Related Businesses.
City Manager Chirpich stated at the July work session, City Staff presented new rules and
regulations regarding the local control of cannabis businesses. During this meeting, the City
Council reviewed the latest laws and recommendations from the Office of Cannabis
Management and directed Staff to develop an ordinance to establish cannabis business
registration and regulations. Following this discussion, Staff worked with the City Attorney
to draft Ordinance 1706.
City Manager Chirpich summarized that Ordinance 1706 amends Chapter 5, Article 7, of the
City Code to establish registration procedures for cannabis retail businesses and create
regulations for cannabis businesses as permitted by the State. A key feature of Ordinance
1706 is the introduction of the City's registration process for cannabis retail businesses.
Like other city licenses, the ordinance outlines application procedures and requirements,
grounds for denial, compliance checks, and penalties. Most of these aspects are strictly
governed by State law. Two significant provisions in this section include the limitation of
only two cannabis retail businesses within the City and specific hours of operation (5.705 C-
D). Otherwise, the application process follows the same structure as other City licenses.
City Manager Chirpich added that the Ordinance also addresses temporary cannabis
events, which are required to be allowed by the State but can be regulated locally. These
regulations, detailed in Section 5.709 F, reflect Council feedback—such as the prohibition
of smoking or vaping at temporary cannabis events—and establishing the permitting
process for such events. Additionally, the Ordinance permits municipal liquor stores to sell
low-potency cannabis products. However, the low-potency section of State law provides
less local control, limiting the City's ability to impose further regulations in this area.
City Manager Chirpich explained that Ordinance 1706 represents the beginning of the City's
response to this new industry. As the Office of Cannabis Management rolls out additional
rules and the City encounters new challenges, Staff anticipate making adjustments to this
section of the code. Ordinance 1706 effectively lays the groundwork for regulating
cannabis businesses in Columbia Heights. Staff will also collaborate with the Planning
Commission to assess whether any Zoning Code updates are necessary to align with the
new law. The State has recommended that cities treat cannabis businesses like any other
type of business in terms of zoning. So far, Columbia Heights has responded accordingly,
treating cannabis retailers as retailers and manufacturers as manufacturers. Staff do no t
foresee significant changes to the Zoning Code but will explore potential impacts with the
Planning Commission.
Councilmember Buesgens pointed out page 154 of the agenda packet which mentions
Minnesota’s new adult use cannabis law permits. She added that there are possession and
consumption limits. She asked if there would be smoke lounges for THC or marijuana. City
Manager Chirpich replied that there would not be because smoking and vaping are covered
in the Clean Indoor Air Act. She noted that there are consumption limits for the public and
14

asked if it was similar to not allowing the consumption of an open bottle of liquor in public.
City Attorney Lepak replied that Councilmember Buesgens was generally correct.
Councilmember Jacobs noted that there would be two retail locations allowed and asked if
they would be privately owned. City Manager Chirpich replied that it is anticipated that
they would be private locations. He explained that the City has agreed to be flexible in
order to wait and see how the initial rollout goes.

reading of Ordinance No. 1706, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes,

Motion by Councilmember James, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to set the second

Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.
16. Approval of Resolution 2024-63 Authorizing an Increase to the Economic Development
Authorities Tax Levy.
Finance Director Kloiber explained at the September 3rd EDA meeting, the EDA discussed
and passed Resolutions setting its budget for 2025. EDA Resolution 2024-22 requests that
the City, on behalf of the EDA, raise the EDA tax levy fro m $310,000 in 2024 to $375,000 in
2025. Since the EDA tax levy is under the administration of the City Council, the City must
annually approve the EDA tax levy. During review of State statute, Staff identified an
additional public hearing process which is required when a city increases its EDA levy.
Resolution 2024-63 is the first step in this process which is highlighted in section 469.107
sub. 2 of State statute.
Finance Director Kloiber mentioned the EDA has requested the levy increase to add
additional funds to its current and possible future initiatives. Since the EDA levy is a City tax
levy the increase is added onto the City’s overall budget. The $65,000 increase in the EDA
levy contributes .4% to the recommended 8.4% overall increase in the City’s gross tax levy
for 2025. These additional funds will be utilized by the EDA in 2025 to directly invest in
economic and housing development projects throughout the City. Contributing to the
direct reinvestment of the funds into the City. The EDA will distribute the funds to various
programs and initiatives through its goal setting in 2025.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs , to waive the
reading of Resolution 2024-63, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes,

Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs , to approve

17. Resolution 2024-66 Adopting A Proposed Budget For The Year 2025, Setting The
Proposed City Levy, Approving The HRA Levy, Approving A Tax Rate Increase, And
Establishing A Budget Hearing Date For Property Taxes Payable In 2025.
Finance Director Kloiber explained as required under the City Charter, the City Manager
provided the City Council with a proposed 2025 budget and tax levy on August 26, 2024.
This was also published to the City’s website the next day. At the EDA’s meeting on
September 2, 2024, the EDA proposed an additional increase to the EDA levy of $58,000
and an additional increase to the HRA levy of $25,000, beyond the amounts in the August
26th version of the City Manager’s proposed 2025 budget.
Finance Director Kloiber noted the principal factors influencing the 2025 budget, described
in the three-page summary narrative within the City Manager’s Proposed 2025 Budget,
were reviewed with the City Council at the September 2, 2024, work session. That review
also considered the effect of the additional increases proposed by the EDA at their
September 2, 2024, meeting. The enclosed resolution 2024-66 incorporates the EDA’s
proposed changes into the August 26th version of the City Manager’s proposed 2025
budget. No other changes from the August 26th version of the City Manager’s proposed
2025 budget are included in this resolution. The resolution provides an 8.4% increase in the
City’s gross tax levy.
Finance Director Kloiber stated by statute, the City Council must adopt a proposed budget
and tax levy Resolution by September 30th. The tax levy within that preliminary Resolution
will be used by Anoka County to prepare the Truth-In-Taxation Notice of Proposed 2024
Property Taxes that will be mailed to each property owner in late November. The City
Council must also adopt a final version of the budget and tax levy Resolution at a budget
hearing in December. The final tax levy can be less than, but not greater than, the
proposed levy adopted in September. Staff are currently updating the various tables and
graphs within the August 26th version of the City Manager’s proposed 2025 budget to
reflect the additional increases proposed by the EDA. This revised version City Manager’s
proposed 2025 budget is expected to be published on the City website on approximately
September 23, 2024.
Mayor Márquez Simula thanked Finance Director Kloiber and Staff for their work.

18. Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 4948 4th Street NE.
City Planner Boucher stated on September 17, 2024, the owner of 4948 4th Street NE,
reached out to the Community Development Department requesting an exemption from
the single-family rental density cap. The property is located on Block 27 with two single-
family rentals out of 16 total single-family units and an allotment of two single-family
rentals.
City Planner Boucher explained if approved, Resolution 2024- 067 would grant a temporary
rental license exemption to the homeowner with a few additional requirements. The
homeowner is required to complete the license application process within 3 months from
the passage of the resolution. This puts a limit on how long they can take to bring the
house into rental compliance if needed. The temporary rental license will be valid for one
year from the date that the license is approved. This provides the homeowner and tenant
the ability to rent the home for a full one-year lease. After the term of the temporary
license, the 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.
City Planner Boucher noted the property owner, Rolando Bustamante, owns multiple
properties within the City and has been the subject of several illegal re ntal evaluations at
the 4948 4th Street NE property since it was purchased on March 7, 2023. The owner has a
homesteaded property in Fridley and submitted an affidavit of non-rental for the 4948 4th
Street property on September 21, 2023. However, the utility billing for this address is still
under the owner's name and appears to show a pattern of three-four people living at the
property, based on water consumption. The owner has previously submitted a rental
exemption request, as three of his properties had been rentals without a license. Of the 4
other properties owned throughout the City, one has been a licensed rental since 2021,
one is for sale, one was denied an exemption at the last Council meeting, and one received
a rental license in 2024 after notice of illegal rental.
Councilmember Spriggs asked if there were any violations on the property that has been
renting since 2021. City Planner Boucher replied that he did not believe there were any.
Councilmember Buesgens expressed her concerns that this is the second time the property
owner has been before the Council. She explained that she expects rental property owners
to know what they are doing. She added that there are many courses available for property
owners to be successful as business owners. She told the property owner that it bothers
her that the property owner has not done her homework.
Councilmember Spriggs mentioned that he is leaning towards being in favor of providing
the rental density exemption to the property since the property has been active since 2021
with no violations. He added that the property owner would still need to go through the
licensing process and have to go through an inspection before receiving a rental license.
City Planner Boucher clarified that the property that is being discussed is not the one that
has been licensed since 2021.

Councilmember Jacobs expressed her concerns that there have been multiple violations
and non-compliance on other properties that the property owner has owned. She thanked
Councilmember Buesgens for her comments and agreed with them.
Councilmember James mentioned that there was an affidavit for non -rental at the address
and asked what the precipitating incident that led to a signed affidavit for a non -rental. City
Manager Chirpich replied that it was the subject of an investigation for being an unlicensed
rental property. The affidavit was signed by the owner. The Fire Department had concerns
that the property was still operating as a rental despite the affidavit. The affidavit was used
to pledge residency in the house.
Councilmember James expressed her understanding that the density cap law was new and
could be confusing but explained that it seemed like the property owner did understand
the law. She added that the Staff’s recommendation made sense to her.
Mayor Márquez Simula agreed with Councilmember Spriggs’ comments about the property
owner still going through the rental license process. She agreed with Councilmember
James’ comments regarding the property owners knowing the density cap and process
ahead of time. She added that the City desires people to be forthcoming in providing
information and the stories seem to differentiate. She mentioned that she would not be
supporting the exemption.
Councilmember Buesgens explained she understood Councilmember Spriggs’ comments
but noted that the property owner would have known to get a rental license three years
ago for the other properties and chose not to for the other properties.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember James, to waive the reading
of Resolution 2024-067, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion
Carried 5-0.
Motion by Councilmember Jacobs, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to deny

CITY COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Council
Councilmember Jacobs mentioned she attended the dedication and ribbon cutting for the 37 th Avenue
project and the Commission coffee. She met with the City Manager, the Police Chief, and the Gould
and Peter’s Place residence. She added her hope to resolve the Ratio parking issues that homeowners
have faced for more than a year. She maintained that it is not a City issue but it is a Ratio and Alatus
issue and did not believe that the City should be spending money and Staff time to correct the
problems. The City is willing to issue a parking permit for themselves and their guests and hire a towing
18
Item 1.

City Council Meeting Page 11
company to remove problem vehicles associated with Ratio. She asked City Manager Chirpich to
provide additional details about how it is going to be achieved.
City Manager Chirpich noted that parking on Gould Avenue is a mess with people parking where they
should not be parking. Despite the City working with Ratio, there will always be new tenants coming
and going. The Police Chief proposed having a regional localized permitting system for the residents of
Peter’s Place and Gould. The City would rely on a towing company to enforce anyone who does not
have a permit. He mentioned that the City still needs to work through the details with the City
Attorney and will bring the completed plan to the Council when it is ready.
Councilmember James explained she attended the opening of 37th Avenue, and a meeting with the
Anoka County engineer, the school district, Hilltop, and Columbia Heights regarding 49th Avenue,
school safety, and Reservoir Boulevard. She mentioned she participated in National Voter Registration
Day and encouraged community members to check their voter registration. She added that she
attended the Columbia Heights School Board meeting with Police Chief Markham, the Boards and
Commissions social, the Columbia Heights Pride Festival, and the program portion of I’ll Be Seeing You
B-17 Memorial unveiling. She mentioned she voted and explained that people can do early voting in

Councilmember Buesgens stated she attended the Excel’s Partner to Energy Committee with the
Sustainability Commission, the MWMO Board meeting, a meeting with the City’s Forester, the School
Board candidate forum, and continues to volunteer at Blooming Sunshine Garden. Along with the
other Councilmembers, she attended the Anoka County meeting to discuss safety on County roads and
the City. She attended Kunafa with a Cop, the social for the commissioners, friends of Kordiak Park, the
Polish Memorial event, the Rib Fest at VFW, and the Pride Festival. She noted that a resident reached
out to her asking for examples of the administrative offenses that were approved during the meeting.
She explained that if there is a Code violation, the City sends out a letter and the person who received
the letter needs to fix the problem within 14 days. If the problem is not resolved, they will be issued a
fine. They are supposed to pay the fine and correct the violation or request an extension, or an
administrative hearing, or proceed through the Anoka County court system. There are various levels of
violations. Level one violations have a $100 fine if the issue is not fixed within two weeks and can
include issues such as failing to obtain a certificate of property maintenance, unapproved home
occupation, improperly stored trash container, weeds, or, failure to remove graffiti. She added that the
rest of the list is included in the agenda packet. Level two violations have a $140 fine if the issues are
not fixed within two weeks and include vacated building, failure to obtain required rental registration
permit or complete required inspection, unlicensed or operable vehicles left, storing junk vehicles, and
parking a vehicle or recreational vehicle on an unimproved surface. Level three violations have a $200
fine and include a major infraction that involves unsafe conditions, constitutes a blighting influence on
surrounding properties or neighborhoods, and involves neglected property maintenance. Level four
violation is an immediate life and safety matter supported by the enforcement officers with a fine of
$280. The fines will continue to go up if there is no compliance.
Councilmember Spriggs noted he attended the Anoka County meeting with the County engineer. He
gave a shout out to Councilmember Buesgens for proposing an increase in funding for the EDA.

Assistant City Engineer Khan addressed the concern, and that the contractor will be

Councilmember Buesgens confirmed the process for replacing lost grant funds by
increasing the budget.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired if there was an update on when the new Library website
would be available.
Director Dougherty confirmed that she is working on the budget to replace / recover funds
that were grant supported. Additionally, she informed the Council that Will and Kat on the
Communications Team have been working hard to get the updated website rolled out by
November 1st.
Fire
Fire Chief Charlie Thompson presented information about the 2024 Fire Department
budget. The information will be available online on the Finance page on the City website.
Chief Thompson also indicated that the Fire Department Admin Assistant, Kristin Peterson
will help the incoming Fire Department Chief Dan O’Brien with future budget.
Mayor Márquez Simula inquired if there were any additional capital purchases related to
vehicle / equipment replacement. She also inquired if the City would be selling the
ladder/aerial truck after it is replaced.
Chief Thompson stated that he believes that there will not be any large capital purchases
outside of replacement of standard vehicles. He believes that the Council is in good hands
with the staff and equipment. When the ariel can be sold it will follow a precise process for
selling old/ replaced equipment.
Councilmember Buesgens stated that there is a lot of improvement that has occurred in a
very short amount of time with the Departments and thanked Chief Thompson for his hard
work. She also inquired about the reduction in calls for not responding to Crestview for
falls at the facility.

Councilmember Jacobs also thanked Chief Thompson.
Councilmember James asked about the impact of the pay increase on the paid-on call fire
fighters.
Fire Chief Thompson stated that there has been an increase in shifts being filled, and other
local cities are also following the example that we have set. He also clarified that the Fire
Departments calls for service have increased even with the reduction of calls to Crestview.
He is unsure what is causing the increase in calls, and it could drop off when the weather
gets cooler.
Assistant Fire Chief O’Brien informed Council that he will review the calls for service and
provide the information related to the reduction in calls at Crestview.
Mayor Márquez Simula asked about community education efforts and additional ways to
connect with the community. She also inquired as to when the Fire Department training for
the Council might be provided again.
Chief Thompson confirmed that there will be increased focus on community engagement
over the next several months and that the department can help facilitate on-site training
for the Council.
2. Discuss Emotional Resilience Program Training Quote for Public Safety Employees.
*This item was presented out of sequence after the Police Department Budget Presentation.
Police Chief Markham led the presentation on the need for an Emotional Resilience
Program to the Council. He stated that he has been working with the group specified in the
packet related to resiliency training for all Public Safety Staff (both fire and police). This
would be a three-day course with assessments and Staff could then utilize this information
when meeting to discuss concerns with the Therapy Provider. He stated that the cost of the
training is a small amount to further employee retention.
Fire Chief Thompson added that he is fully supportive of this program.
Councilmember Buesgens stated that she is very glad that this will increase retention and
keep the public safety team healthy.
Councilmember James stated that she is in support of using the public safety funds for this
and feels that this is exactly what the fund were meant for.
Chief Markham indicated that he plans to add this item to the consent agenda and will
have additional information available for the Council and Citizens to have the background
of the item.

Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she would like to see the program utilized in a greater
capacity. She was glad to see that this was a topic for an upcoming work session, but she
would like to see it utilized when speaking about budgets.
Continued Training
Councilmember James inquired about the March 10-12th 2025 National League of Cities
and who would be interested in attending. She would like to discuss attendance in the
future.
General Updates
Councilmember Buesgens shared that she has followed up with former City Manager
Bourgeois and her community is doing well after Hurricane Helene
Councilmember Buesgens also stated that she has been reviewing potential funds for
soccer fields, and there is currently a little over a million dollars in the park improvement
fund. She would also like to see a skateboard park as a use for these funds. She would like
to see this discussed in 2025 at the goal planning sessions.
Councilmember Buesgens would like to see how much it would cost to do a full staffing
study to move forward with staffing for the entire city. Strategic planning could lead to the
highest need departments getting the focus that they deserve. She would also like to see if
AI will impact department staffing. She hoped to proceed with finding out how much a
study would cost.

The meeting was called to order in the Library Community Room by Rachelle Waldon at 5:32pm.
Members present: Rachelle Waldon; Melanie Magidow; Chris Polley; Justice Spriggs (City Council Liaison). Members
remotely present: N/A. Members absent: Carrie Mesrobian; Amina Maameri. Others present: Renee Dougherty (Library
Director); Nick Olberding (Board Secretary). Public present: N/A.
1. The Meeting Agenda was approved as-is.
2. The Minutes of the August 7th, 2024, Board Meetings were moved and approved.
3. Review 2024 Operating Budget: 66.67% of the year and 58.59% of the budget expended.
a. 42183 (E-Books): Anoka County would like to change to how e-Book access is billed for Columbia Heights
cardholders. Renee would like billing to coincide with a single budget year. In the past, eBook charges
were billed on a July – June billing cycle based on a formula calculated from the previous year’s usage. No
invoice for 2024 e-Books has yet been received.
Community Forum: Opportunity for public input. No correspondence and no public in attendance. The City website
has a Contact Form for each Board/Commission for the public to submit questions or concerns:

New Business:
4. Staffing Update: With two of the Pages in college we are having trouble covering shifts on certain days, so
advertised for an additional Page position which closed last week. Renee is in the process of reviewing and scoring
the 57 applications received. We hope to interview finalists starting next week.
5. Organizational Borrowing Policy Review: The Organizational Borrowing Policy was adopted back in 1999 and has
not changed much over the years. The Youth Librarian and Youth Associate believe the policy needs changes to
bring it in-line with Anoka County policy, to make it more cohesive with other borrowing policies, and to remove
outdated language. At CHPL organizational borrowers are school classrooms and elder care facilities who receive a
bin of books referred to as a “bulk loan.” Organizations may request certain genres or subjects for deliveries, but if
they want specific items, they must request and personally pick up those items. Bulk loans are selected by staff
from the Columbia Heights collection only. Previously staff manually extended the due date to 45 days since bulk
loans were distributed monthly and a standard 21-day checkout would result in overdue fines. However, since
Columbia Heights no longer charges overdue fines and ACL and COH have implemented automatic renewal, this
labor-intensive loan extension is no longer needed. The section covering deposit collections has never been
utilized and has now been removed (this was intended to be a small collection of materials sent to an institution
like a prison or hospital where items would then be loaned out to individuals in the facility). The Board reviewed
revisions and agreed with the reasoning behind the changes. A MOTION was made to approve the revision of the
Organizational Borrowing Policy, it was seconded and unanimously approved.
6. MakerSpace Discussion: MakerSpaces have been implemented in several libraries around the world. It is a space
that provides the tools, supplies, equipment, and staff expertise needed so that patrons can create various types
of crafts or useful items. MakerSpaces include equipment like sewing machines, 3D printers, engravers, Cricuts
30
Item 4.
cutting machines, laminators, and other things. The Board asked how much demand there seems to be for this
type of space at our Library, to which Nick and Renee mentioned that there is an occasional inquiry about a 3D
printer, but not much demand generally. A MakerSpace can require a lot of support and staff time to implement,
keep supplies stocked, equipment maintained, space monitored, patrons trained/certified on equipment, etc. How
would a MakerSpace be hosted? Is it available all the time, at certain hours, or only for specific crafts with
coordinated programming? We already host an assortment of craft-related programming for various age groups. Is
a MakerSpace within our scope/mission? Something akin to MakerSpaces that would likely get more use is
specialty computer workstations for functions like online virtual meetings, video/photo editing, resume writing,
etc. We are tabling the MakerSpace discussion for the time being, but it will be revisited in the future.
Director’s Update:
7. July Board Report: Provided as an FYI.
a. OpenAccess: No new information from Renee, but Melanie offered to connect her with a first-hand source
with information about how this is working at a library that has implemented it.
b. Teen Trivia Night: Chris wanted to express his support for more of these in the future based on the
enthusiasm and interest from students who attended.
c. MN DNR Park Passes: This has been a very popular program and our three park passes are constantly in
use. The DNR expressed appreciation to library staff for encouraging survey participation which resulted in
a more diverse range of respondents in the 2024 summer survey than in 2023.
d. Transportation Safety Action Plan Survey: The city has created an interactive survey to gather input on
the safety of transit areas in the city; it should be available for at least another month, and can be found

Macko directed the Commission to review the mission statement examples on page 25. Hansen stated during
the previous Park & Recreation Commission meeting the members were asking what they could be working on
and what the agenda looks like moving forward. When talking about improving our park system the first step
from a staff perspective is to update the Park System Plan. Staff will bring updated segments forward to the
Commission for review and comments. Ultimately there will be an updated system plan that would be brought
to the city council.
Hansen indicated the next step for the group would be to go through and look at a Park Improvement Plan. This
is a consultant led project that is highly involved from the community perspective. There is a lot of community
input during the process. Staff doesn’t have the ability to go through park by park and lead those types of
meetings. We would want to find out from the community and update the mater plans for each park, or create
one where needed, on a park-by-park basis. In 2023 a cursory update was done on all of the fifteen parks and
what the costs at that time would be for the improvements. It was around fifteen million. At this point in time,
to move forward in that direction, this should be a consultant led project working with the Commission and
really engaging the public. This would be after the system plan is updated so we are looking at 2025-2026. There
would then be master plans for all of our parks and also be able to detail the costs. Staff would then go back to
the city council and work with them to figure out funding scenarios. The city council is the only one who has
33
Item 5.
City of Columbia Heights August 28, 2024
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 2
authority to provide funding for any level of park improvements. Previously through the strategic planning with
the city council, this is done every two or three years, staff have brought up the idea of updating the parks and
bringing the conditions up to a certain level. They have discussed scenarios for funding that. Hansen indicated
there is not a lot of grant funding available for this type of project on a local level. Without other funding
options, one of the best options to raise revenue will be bonding over time. The Park and Recreation
Commission will recommend improvements to the city council. Staff will bring the park system plan to the
commission at the next meeting. In early 2025 the goal will be to have the final plan updated and then from that
go to an implementation plan. That is something a consultant will need to be hired for; largely to create the
master plans but also to work with the commission to engage the community on a park-by-park basis. This can
be a twelve to eighteen month process. Two cities that recently went through this process were Fridley and
Coon Rapids. They also sold bonds for that. Fridley had a 30 million investment in their park system, of that 20
million was through bonds. Coon Rapids had an equivalent amount and a few years prior to Fridley.
Hansen stated that prior to considering any improvements to our park system the first step will be updating the
mission statement from 1996. He presented samples of what some other park and recreation bodies have for
mission statements. At this meeting or by the next meeting, the commission should decide what they would like
to see in an updated mission statement. Mission statements can provide the overarching or guiding principle for
the things the group does as it relates to park and recreation in the community. The mission statements begin
on page 26 of the agenda packet. The first sentence of the current statement; The purpose of this plan is to
ensure that all parks and open areas remain clean, safe, accessible to all, and up to-date to best serve the
residents as well as improving the quality of life in Columbia Heights. Hansen feels this is important to think
about what parks do in a community, it really relates a quality of life in that community. Hansen read the
remaining mission statement; To ensure that this mission be carried out to its fullest extent, we recognize that a
support network from various sources must be directly involved in the planning and decision making processes.
We recognize that working with other departments such as the Recreation Department, Parks Department,
Public Works and Engineering Departments along with citizen participation through community groups and
other organizations are necessary and will help lead to the successful implementation of this plan. He indicated
this is somewhat wordy and out of date. Most park and recreation groups have a mission statement. The City
has a mission statement that is read at the beginning of every meeting. These statements are concise and only a
paragraph or two.
Ostergaard asked if the statement should be inclusive of the Commission and the Parks and Recreation
Department but not Public Works. Saefke responded that in our city the parks department is under the Public
Works. Hansen added that under Public Works is park maintenance, and park development. Macko likes
bringing up the fact that we try to offer a variety of things to do outside. He wants to express the opportunities
we provide to the public in the statement. Perez Umphress replied a diverse recreation and cultural
opportunities for people of all ages. Macko liked that statement. Perez Umphress indicated it is from the
Greenfield Recreation statement. Hansen replied from a staff perspective they really liked the Greenfield
mission because in a brief statement it really captures recreational and parks but is still representative of
Columbia Heights with the diversity and varied culture. Ostergaard indicated liking the Greenfield mission but
feels it is missing something regarding nature and sustainability. There is a line in the Edina mission about
environmentally sustainable practices and there are good efforts out there for that. If it is something that we as
a community are striving for that is good to have in a mission. Windschitl indicated the Minneapolis statement
talks about plants and wildlife. Perez Umphress stated with her work she uses Chat GPT often and is wondering
if that would be a good tool to use to create a new mission statement. Hansen replied that some of the notes he
has written from this discussion is to include varying in different recreation opportunities, Greenville diversity
and representing different cultures of the community, nature, sustainable, and to make sure to have
34
Item 5.
City of Columbia Heights August 28, 2024
Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 3
accessibility and inclusivity. He stated Chat GTP is a tool that staff use also. The Commission can think about
what they want to see, staff will create a few mission statements for the next meeting. Hansen asked if anyone
else has comments. Harzallah indicated he likes the line in the current statement that mentions the quality of
life. Perez Umphress stated she isn’t sure if this is recognized elsewhere but is wondering about having some
kind of land acknowledgement for the native land we are occupying. Ostergaard asked how the city deals with
land acknowledgement. Marquez Simula replied there currently isn’t one, but she is trying to work with people
on one. There is a citywide statement waiting on the next step. Harzallah asked if there is a good representation
of the Native community in the city. Marquez Simula replied there is an American Indian group with the school
district that is active. They put on the pow wow every year. Ostergaard replied that a note could be made that if
and when the city adopts something, that the Park & Recreation Commission will also adopt that land
acknowledgement. Hansen indicated he will present the next few chapters of the Park Improvement Plan to the
Commission in the next few meetings.
Macko reminded the Commission that the next meeting will be located at Huset Park West.
Hansen stated the group will walk around Sullivan Lake Park and he will give some history on the park. In 2006
the city council started talking about park improvements at all the parks. They started looking at new
playgrounds in 2007. At that time collectively everything needed so much work that staff decided to begin
working with the Park and Recreation Commission to review all of the city parks. It was determined to begin
park improvements with Sullivan Lake Park. No park improvements had been made since the late 1970’s. A
consultant was hired to prepare a master plan for Sullivan Lake Park. The community was included during the
planning process. Hansen indicated that is one of the fun things during the process and the Commission will
enjoy working with the residents when it comes to that process. Yes, you hear about problems but there are
many ideas of what the residents like or want to see in the park. One of the primary components at Sullivan Lake
that residents wanted to keep was the lake and the walking path around it. Prior to this there was an old wood
structure that was deteriorating and was an L-shape. One of the questions the Commission and consultant
looked at was what size of a shelter people wanted to have. Because the park shelter would be rented and used
for parties they wanted to keep a large shelter. The playset was kept at a smaller scale knowing that it might be
expanded in the future. Nothing was done with the tennis courts because in 2008 the courts were playable.
They are not playable today. Most of our parks have a deficiency in parking. The neighbors indicated they do not
want to have car lights shining into their homes, so the parking lot was designed at a lower level with shrubs
around the hill to help as well. The trail around the rest of the park was redone as well. Hansen reported a
couple of things that will change at the park. One being the small building with two restroom and an old lift
station needs updating. That is programmed for replacement in 2025. The lift station for sanitary sewage will be
brought towards the front of the area and get it out of the middle of the park. The old Medtronic property
comprehensive plan amendment is complete for that site so Medtronic will be putting it back on the market for
a developer to come in and redevelop it. There are two primary parts of that redevelopment that the city must
consider. One is stormwater management. Residents have stated they want the storm water improved.
Medtronic or whomever is going to redevelop the site is going to have to complete significant stormwater
improvements. There are also opportunities for outside sources to improve the flow of stormwater that comes
into the lake. There is a watershed that would help with water quality improvement. Sullivan Lake is a shallow
lake and is treated differently by the State of Minnesota and our management plan. The maximum depth is nine
feet and average depth is just under six. The lake is also highly eutrophic, and the main process of decay is due
to the large amount of leaves that are deposited in the lake. There are seven storm water inlets and if it wasn’t
for those inlets it would probably be swampland. Hansen reported with the potential housing development in
the area staff want to look at the size of the playground structure and being able to serve the amount of families
in this area. The new development will need to have their own interior play structure or have some kind of
35

Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 4
agreement that the new developer either gives the city land or funds to accomplish a larger structure. The last
item is the fitness court. This is required to be located a certain distance from a playground structure. This will
be installed in 2025, and city staff will be doing a large portion of the work. Ostergaard brought this up recently
with residents and the first response was why is this happening when there are other things desired in the city.
She asked when the city will be releasing information on the project and are there any talking points the
Commission can use when speaking to residents. Hansen replied the announcement was made in the city
newsletter that a fitness court is coming to Sullivan Lake Park and communication will continue to be made on
the project. As part of the agreement with getting the grant the organization wants to host a grand opening
event with the community. Staff will advertise that the fitness court is coming. Ostergaard added and why we
are putting the fitness court in. Hansen indicated this may not be the only one that we receive. Sullivan Park
received the second highest score from the grant review committee, Huset Park received the highest score.

Reports
A. Recreation Director
Windschitl reported he met with the new city manager and discussed the status of the recreation program, daily
operations, and how it all relates with John P Murzyn Hall. They discussed the future of the building and how the
city council will need to determine what they want to do with the facility. Windschitl presented his concerns
with the building structure itself.
The summer Adult Softball Men’s and Co-Ed league ended, and the Men’s Fall Softball began last week. The
summer youth programs ended two weeks ago. The staff were really great, and participation numbers were
higher this year as well. Soccer is the next program to get started and we are in need of coaches. This is entry
level soccer for 1st – 6th grades. They play games with Immaculate Conception School and are looking to connect
with other local schools. Eisenbise asked if Prodeo Academy has a team. Windschitl replied they are checking
with their board to see if that is allowed. Staff are also connecting with St. Charles to get more teams.
Ostergaard asked how many teams there are typically. Windschitl replied two or three at some of the grade
levels. We have the participation numbers this year but are in need of coaches to get started. Ostergaard asked
if there is a flyer or something that she can present at the Valley View open house. Windschitl replied yes.
B. Public Works Director
Hansen reported there was a really good group of seasonal staff this year. There were ten staff and are down to
one person at the end of next week due to people going back to school. The goal is to keep one seasonal staff
through the fall because there is always enough work with trimming and other seasonal work. A Safe Roads to
School grant was received and are installing new sidewalks around the schools. The most recent one was on
Monroe, south of 49th to 47th. The concrete alley program will be wrapping up in the next few weeks. More
alleys will be addressed next year. They are very expensive to reconstruct. The city council authorized a two-year
plan. Next year there will be ten or eleven alleys completed. MNDOT will be presented more information
regarding the Central Avenue reimagined and reconstructed project. There was a grassroots group that is trying
to establish a downtown area off 40th Street. Central Avenue will be completely reconstructed by 2028. MNDOT
is coming forward with a lot of funding for that. One of the nicest parts will be a ten-foot trail or path on both
sides of the road out of concrete. The road will be narrowed from a four lane to a two lane. MNDOT will be
attending the next work session with the city council. This is really a MNDOT lead project with city participation.
Staff are also working with the county to get 40th Avenue reconstructed. The road will be narrowed with
pedestrian facilities added. Staff will be meeting with the county tomorrow to lay out a plan for grant funding.

Hansen indicated there is a lot of federal grant funding options for transportation.
C. Commission Members
Perez Umphress mentioned from the last meeting the discussion of a park’s passport. She drew up a quick
example on Canva. There were two examples of what it could look like for each park. This would be a way to
collect feedback from each park by including a QR code. She shared the examples with the Commission. Hansen
reported a community survey was completed in 2022 but information like this can certainly be used in the park
planning process. Marquez Simula replied this is a great project to include our communications department on
so they can sync it up with the city website and social media. It is a great way to connect with residents.
The commission walked around Sullivan Lake Park as Hansen continued to discuss the history and conditions of
the park. The condition of the tennis courts was discussed. One of the questions to be asked during the park
planning process is keeping a balance among all the parks between active and passive spaces. Other items
discussed included parking, tree preservation and planting, lake conditions, restrooms, and other artwork or
flower garden within the park. Hansen reported there are not a lot of other plans right now besides the building
with the lift station, the removal of the tennis courts, and where to put the fitness court. Staff have applied for
trial funding through the DNR. There is an area along the trail that needs to be changed on how it is being held
up from the lake. The group continued to walk the path around the lake.
Motion by Harzallah, second by Eisenbise, to adjourn the meeting. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried.

Introduction: Boucher stated at the July Work Session, staff briefed City Council on discussed
potential amendments and updates to City Zoning Code – Chapter 9 Land Use based on
observations, feedback, and recommendations from staff and community members to provide
more flexibility in the Zoning Code that reflect the needs of the community while encouraging
consistency as future development occurs.
Boucher added Some of these updates include 9.103 Definitions for uses that are presently allowed
in residential, commercial, and industrial districts and have specific development standards but are
not currently defined in code such as: arcade, billiards hall, consignment/secondhand store,
firearms dealer, professional service, professional studio, etc. These definitions will also more
accurately reflect housing and family trends as currently there are no definitions for single -family
dwelling, two-family dwellings, and rental unit. Other changes will include an amendment to the
existing definition of “Family” to remove unrelated occupancy maximums, new definitions for
“Dwelling Unit, Accessory” and “Family, Shared Living Arrangement” to reflect current hou sing

footage requirement for building permits for accessory structures from 120 sq. ft. to 200 sq. ft. as
well as introducing standards for accessory dwelling units. Other sections of 9.106 General
Development Standards being updated include establishing a process for reviewing artificial turf
through the existing code for Land Alteration to demonstrate that the proposed turf is permeable,
the types of materials used, and whether there is a potential for illicit discharge, and Tree
Preservation and Planting Standards will address turf as an impervious surface unless a land
disturbance permit is issued and approved. Off-street parking and loading clarifies the parking
requirements for residential care facilities (6 or fewer) and (7 or more) to reflect the single-family
parking requirements for facilities serving (6 or fewer). A maximum paving of 50% of the front yard
setback for residential properties is being introduced. Building Design and Sign Regulations are
being updated to allow for painted public art and murals.
Boucher stated 9.107 Specific Development Standards includes removing any seasonal sales stands
that explicitly have development standards and including these uses under “Seasonal Sales Stands”;
updating the outdoor play area requirements for “Day Care, Home” to reflect the language for
Adult and Child Day Care Centers; and amending the Residential Care Facility standards to exempt
facilities serving six or fewer residents from the distance radius and zoning regulations except as
otherwise required by law.
Boucher mentioned 9.109 Residential Districts includes streamlining the list of permitted accessory
uses in all residential districts as well as allowing accessory dwelling units as a permitted accessory
use for single-family properties and for shared family living arrangements. One significant change is
to establish an impervious surface coverage maximum for residential lots instead of building
coverage maximum; these percentages are the same as was required for building coverage; 35%
impervious surface coverage for lots less than 6,500 sq. ft. and 30% for lots greater than 6,500 sq.
ft. Another significant change is to utilize the language used to address minimum lot areas for
duplexes in the R-2B district and use that same language to address the minimum lot area and lot
width for single-family residences in the R-2A, R-2B, R-3, and R-4 districts to remove the legal
nonconforming status for properties below that minimum lot area of 6,500 sq. ft. as this
significantly restricts these properties. For the R-2A and R-2B, One/Two Family Residential and
Built-As-Duplex districts, twin homes and duplexes are proposed to be permitted uses by law.
Boucher stated 9.110 Commercial Districts and 9.111 Industrial Districts will include adjustments to
uses that were previously conditional uses, but did not have specific development standards or
standards that are being addressed through performance standards as well as allowing Seasonal
Sales Stands as permitted accessory uses.
Boucher explained Section 9.104 (F) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines certain findings of fact that
must be met in order for the City to grant approval for a zoning amendment. The findings are as
follows:

Item 6.

a) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies strengthening the identity and image of the
community as a desirable place to live, work, and play as well as preserving and enhancing
the existing viable commercial and industrial areas within the community. The zoning code

b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single
property owner.
The zoning text amendments remove certain barriers that commercial business operators
and homeowners have experienced and enables more flexibility in the zoning code by
ensuring consistency across zoning districts.
c) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the
existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general
area of the property in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification.
The amendment is not to change the zoning classification of a particular property.
d) Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property,
there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of
the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in i ts
current zoning classification.
The amendment is not to change the zoning classification of a particular property.
Recommendation: Boucher noted that Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend to the City Council; Approval of Draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 1700
amending City Code 9.103 Definitions, 9.104 Administration and Enforcement, 9.105
Nonconformities, 9.106 General Development Standards, 9.107 Specific Development Standards,
9.109 Residential Districts, 9.110 Commercial Districts, and 9.111 Industrial Districts as presented.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Wolfe clarified that there were two different dates regarding the residential side. A few of them
looked like they had just copied the established prior to rather than established after. She wanted
to clarify that there were two different square footages with one being prior to January 1, 2005,
and the second one is established after January 1. Boucher agreed and explained it would be
grandfathering them in.
Sahnow asked how it was determined who was going to receive the public hearing notice. Boucher
replied that Staff did the same for the tree preservation since there was not a specific site that it
could be applied to. He added that Staff tried to get the public hearing notice out three weeks
before the hearing. He noted he tried to provide a full readout of the zoning text with the
40
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES August 07, 2024
Planning Commission Meeting Page 4
amendments proposed and then breakdowns of the specific changes that are being made.
Moses noted that there was something that mentioned three people per dwelling unit and asked if
that would be removed. Boucher replied that it would be removed along with no accessory
buildings so that it can allow for detached accessory dwelling units. He added that Staff are
proposing to amend the definition of family to reflect that there can be more than three unrelated
people living in a house together.
Deneen asked if there were any standards for safety regarding firearm dealers. Boucher replied
that they are licensed federally so the City does not require any City licensing. The specific
development standards that address firearms dealers are in relation to shooting ranges. Deneen
asked if the standards ATF enforces include extra security when it is closed. Boucher agreed that
there are federal standards.
Sahnow asked if there were restrictions for firearms dealers on distance away from certain uses
and types that those facilities are allowed to occupy. Boucher is not for the sales side but there are
restrictions for specific development standards requiring a minimum distance for the shooting
range.
Sahnow asked if the Planning Commission would be able to add conditions to the proposed
Ordinance amendment. Boucher replied that they could but he would like the City Attorney to
reach through it to make sure it is legal. Deneen agreed and noted she would like to look at that.
Deneen asked if there were any restrictions on how many shooting ranges can be within the City.
Boucher replied that there are not and the City looks at them like retail sales.
Public Hearing Opened.
John Nelson, City resident expressed his gratitude that the City was addressing ADUs. He spoke in
favor of it and explained that his parents are farmers who are working on moving to Columbia
Heights and being any to have a detached dwelling will allow the possibility of multi-generational
families who desire to be together while also having some space.
Adden Vang, City resident, stated he was in favor of the changes the City is proposing, particularly
to the occupancy limits from three unrelated members to no limit. He explained that his heritage is
Hmong and his culture lives communally in communities. He added that it also extends to friends.
He mentioned that he would like to see changes where unrelated people can also live in the same
dwelling in order to keep people of various cultures that come from communal societies in the City.
Maddie Kim, City resident, agreed with the previous comments and thanked the commissioners for
discussing the issues. She explained that the maximum occupancy limits were important to her. She
noted that she is a single young individual who is working and living in the City and wants to find
ways to live well with friends and community members. She added that the marria ge age is rising
and people are looking for ways to live sustainably both financially and for the planet. Studies are
showing that being in contact with others and living together is important for mental health. She
41

City of Columbia Heights MINUTES August 07, 2024
Planning Commission Meeting Page 5
added that she lives with roommates, and they are all interested in having policies and laws that
support society as it is today and as it is continuing to evolve.
Boucher clarified that the current firearms-specific development standards include a radius
distance requirement of it being located 300 feet away from any residential zone, property, or
residential use, and 500 feet away from protected uses such as licensed daycare facilities, public or
private educational facilities, schools, parks, and places of worship. Sahnow asked if it was a local or
federal standard. Boucher replied that it was a local standard.
Wilton Howard, City business owner, shared about Grandma Mae who would like to have her
children live with her as she has been aging but cannot because they want to make an unattached
dwelling unit in the back but have not been able to. He added that he hopes that the City can
change this so grandma Mae and other people like her to be able to live in community. He
explained that it is a little bit racist to have nuclear family policies instead of allowing people to live
within their cultural values.
Deneen noted that many of the individuals who spoke did a lot of research on ADUs and suggested
bringing the information to the Council work session. She thanked the commissioners for doing the
work.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Moses, seconded by Sahnow, to waive the reading of draft Ordinance amendment No.
1700, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
Motion by Deneen, seconded by Moses, to recommend that the Planning Commission give a

OTHER BUSINESS
Boucher mentioned that the Met Council is taking the Comprehensive Plan amendment for Medtronic
through the development review committee. There will be a Planning Commission next month with a
site plan review and a conditional use permit. He added that in the future Staff would like to do some
workshop items with the commissioners such as design guidelines, updating the sign code, and starting
the SolSmart process. Forney added that the City Code is a mess and would like to utilize the Planning
Commission to clean it up.

BUSINESS ITEMS
3. Adoption of the 2025 Budget and Authorization of the EDA and HRA Levies
Forney reported in late August, the proposed budget for the 2025 fiscal year was distributed to the
City Council. Before the City Council completes its final review of the proposed budget, the
Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (“EDA”) and the Housing and Rede velopment
Authority in and for the City of Columbia Heights (“HRA”) are required to adopt fund budgets for
Fund 204: EDA Administration and Fund 408: EDA Redevelopment Projects; and to authorize their
respective 2024 tax levies, payable in 2025.
Forney explained the EDA effectively has two separate tax levies after the City Council granted the
EDA certain HRA powers in 1996. One tax levy is administered by the City under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.107 on behalf of the EDA (the “EDA Levy”), and the other is a special benefit
tax levy administered by the EDA under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.033 on behalf of the HRA
45
Item 7.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES September 03, 2024
EDA Meeting Page 3
(the “HRA Levy”). The proposed fund budgets reflect total levy amounts within the statutory limits.
For 2024, the EDA Levy would capture $317,000 from the City’s estimated market land value,
whereas the HRA Levy would net $400,000. Combined, both levies result in a total net revenue of
$719,000.
Forney noted at the August 5th EDA meeting a few members of the EDA spoke about increasing the
EDA or HRA levy to provide more funds for EDA initiatives and conduct increases in increments so
that any later increases don’t need to be as large. A Levy Calculations Chart was provided in the
meeting packet, which is a historical breakdown of EDA and HRA changes since 2008. As
demonstrated by the chart there has not been an increase in the HRA levy since 2020. Since 2020
the City’s Market Value has increased by 27.48%. For 2025 staff are recommending a $90,000
increase to the HRA levy. $5,000 of this increase would cover the Home Energy Squad Program.
While the remaining $85,000 would be available for the affordable housing trust fund and any
projects or initiatives it takes on. At the same time, the increase would constitute a 24% increase in
the HRA levy. It follows just below the pattern if the HRA Levy had been incrementally increased
every year. Staff are also recommending the additional funds be placed in the Affordable Housing
Trust Fund for 2025 to make up for the reduced amount of LAHA funding received from the State.
This can be altered next year to shift the additional income to other programs or initiatives. The
$400,000 amount highlighted above and established in Resolution 2024-23 is the budget after the
addition of the $90,000. In 2024 the EDA budgeted $310,000 for the HRA Levy.
Forney stated that Staff’s recommendation is reflected in the attached resolutions. If, after further
discussion, the EDA would like to alter the amount on the budget resolutions, amendment motions
can be made at the meeting. The other remaining documents cover the breakdown of which
priorities the levied funds are attributed to. For more detail, please refer to the attached summary
budgets.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Buesgens asked if the maximum tax increase was ultimately increasing the total tax percentage by
.5%. Forney replied that it was for both levies. The EDA levy is an operating levy. Buesgens asked if
they would increase the maximum tax increase for the EDA levy. Forney replied that Staff were not
proposing that. Buesgens asked if there was a reason for not doing that. Chirpich replied that the
primary reason is the EDA levy is an operational staffing support levy. There is no need to increase
it. The HRA levy is for housing initiatives and redevelopment. Forney added that the programs and
grants come from the HRA levy.
Chirpich mentioned that the EDA levy could be used for project -based funding. In the past, the City
has separated operations and programs into two compartments so that it is easier to track.
Buesgens asked if money could be moved from the EDA levy to the HRA levy. Chirpich replied that
they could. Buesgens mentioned that she would like to expand the façade program to include
landscaping.
Buesgens explained that she would like to see the HRA levy maxed in order to provide the EDA with 46
Item 7.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES September 03, 2024
EDA Meeting Page 4
more flexibility. Márquez Simula agreed and added that she would like to invest in the parking
ramp and alleyway for businesses.
Chirpich asked what the capacity was to move beyond $319,000. Forney replied that with the extra
increase, it would be at $400,000. For 2025, there is capacity for $27,959 more than what could be
pulled from the HRA levy. Chirpich replied that the commissioners were curious about the EDA levy
and added that he believed it was about the same maximum. Forney mentioned that both levies
could be increased to the maximum amount. The EDA levy gets rolled into the City’s budget.
Forney explained that the EDA levy could max at just over $100,000 and an additional $27,000 for
the HRA levy.
James noted on page 31 of the agenda packet, in blue it says 315,000 proposed for the EDA and
asked if the $427,959 was the maximum. Forney replied that the numbers were pulled prior to the
last EDA meeting so the numbers are incorrect.
Buesgens asked Szurek if she was comfortable going the maximum. Szurek replied that she was.
Márquez Simula mentioned she would like to see how many residents are participating in the
Home Energy Squad program. Forney replied that he would bring the numbers to the next meeting.
James suggested having the additional funds that are not already allocated for the HRA money
could be put into the affordable home programming. She wondered if the $100,000 for the EDA
levy could be set aside as a potential future discussion on what to do with it. Chirpich replied that it
was possible.
Forney explained in fund 408 there is a breakdown of where all the money is allocated. He asked if
the EDA had a general idea of where they would like to allocate the extra funds. Chirpich added
that the allocation could happen at a later date. Szurek suggested waiting until the budget was
complete and the EDA could address it then. Forney replied that they could readdress the
allocations in October.
Forney noted that the EDA would need to make a motion to amend the Resolution to reflect the
changed number. Chirpich added that the maximum for the HRA levy allowed for $427,959;
however, Staff recommended only $400,000 to leave some wiggle room. Buesgens asked why Staff
wanted some wiggle room. Forney replied that it was based on the market value.
Márquez Simula noted an error of a number under “Now Therefore, Be It Resolved” on page 33 of
the Agenda Packet.
Kloiber reviewed the levy budget. He noted that there are components that the City Council will
adopt. The estimated General Fund levy, Library levy , and EDA Fund levy are estimated to be
$18,066,000. He explained that the EDA tax amount is not on the property tax statements for
residents since it is combined with the City’s general levy. The HRA levy is not combined with the
tax statement but instead, it is combined into other special districts on the tax statement. 47
Item 7.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES September 03, 2024
EDA Meeting Page 5
Kloiber explained that Staff is proposing an 8% gross tax levy increase. Due to the increase in fiscal
disparities this year, local taxpayers are not picking up the full 8% increase but would be picking up
5%.
Kloiber noted that the limit is based on the market value for the EDA and HRA levy. The EDA levy
limit is $419,402 and the HRA levy’s limit is $427,959. Staff had originally budgeted for $317,000 for
the EDA levy and $400,000 for the HRA levy. If the EDA chose to increase the EDA levy by $90,000;
the gross tax levy would increase to 8.5% and taxpayers would pick up 5.8%.
Kloiber reviewed the fiscal disparities trend from 2020-2025. He noted that it is possible to see a
permanent contraction in the commercial real estate base relative to residential values. There is
less of a need for office space as people are working remotely.
Forney asked Kloiber what the buffer should be in order to have some wiggle room in the levies.
Kloiber replied that the market value is not controllable. He explained that if the money is used for
one time projects that are flexible, then it is not a big deal to increase the levy. If the maximum is
requested by the EDA for the HRA levy and the market declines, it could cause the statutory to be
rolled back in the levy. If the funds are being used for operational uses, such as a position, it could
cause issues because the EDA would rely on the funds coming through.
Buesgens asked if positions could be funded through the general fund instead of the EDA levy so
that it would not have to be relied on having the EDA funds to come through. Kloiber replied that
about $200,000 of the general fund is transferred to Community Development fund 201 to pay for
planning functions that are not covered by fees. General funds are not paying for any EDA
functions.
Buesgens asked the EDA if they should increase the percentage. The commissioners agreed that
the percentage should be increased. Spriggs added that the goal was to save up more for future
projects.
Buesgens proposed doing raising the EDA Levy to $375,000 and the HRA levy to $425,000.
Motion by James, seconded by Spriggs, to amend Resolution No. 2024 -22, to set the EDA budget at
$375,000. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED.

BUSINESS ITEMS
Forney mentioned that the City owns a property north of Pepe. Pepe is looking to purchase a small
garage and would like to see if the EDA would be interested in selling the lot. The owner is interested in
building a restaurant and event space. Staff believe it is highly unlikely , but if the EDA is interested in
having a restaurant in the area, Staff could speak with the buyer. The owner of Pepe’s would need to
demolish the garage and turn it into a restaurant.
James asked what the value of the property would be if it w ere sold. Forney replied that they did not
know.
Buesgens stated the lot was not big enough and suggested holding onto the property. Szurek agreed.

BACKGROUND:
The relationship between snow plowing, snow removal and winter parking have come up in discussions with
the Council from time to time. In 2023 changes were made at an administrative level to the beginning and
ending times shortening the time period for enforcement for the 2023/24 snow season. As this was the first
year – staff suggested this be done on a pilot project basis and evaluate the effectiveness of the change. This
was reviewed and discussed with the council at the April 2024 work session.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS:
At the first reading of Ordinance 1705 on September 23, 2024 , the City Council voted (5-0) to approve the

ITEM: Second Reading of Ordinance 1706 Being an Ordinance Amending Chapter 5 Article vii of the
Columbia Heights City Code to Establish the Regulation and Registration of Cannabis-Related
Businesses
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 10-8-24

BACKGROUND
At the July work session, city staff presented new rules and regulations regarding the local control of cannabis
businesses. During this meeting, the City Council reviewed the latest laws and recommendations from the
Office of Cannabis Management and directed staff to develop an ordinance to establish cannabis business
registration and regulations. Following this discussion, staff worked with the city attorney to draft Ordinance
1706.
In summary, Ordinance 1706 amends Chapter 5, Article 7 of the city code to establish registration procedures
for cannabis retail businesses and create regulations for cannabis businesses as permitted by the state. A key
feature of Ordinance 1706 is the introduction of the city's registration process for cannabis retail businesses.
Like other city licenses, the ordinance outlines application procedures and requirements, grounds for denial,
compliance checks, and penalties. Most of these aspects are strictly governed by state law. Two significant
provisions in this section include the limitation of only two cannabis retail businesses within the city and
specific hours of operation (5.705 C-D). Otherwise, the application process follows the same structure as other
city licenses.
The ordinance also addresses temporary cannabis events, which are required to be allowed by the state but
can be regulated locally. These regulations, detailed in Section 5.709 F, reflect council feedback—such as the
prohibition of smoking or vaping at temporary cannabis events—and establishing the permitting process for
such events. Additionally, the ordinance permits municipal liquor stores to sell low -potency cannabis products.
However, the low-potency section of state law provides less local control, limiting the city's ability to impose
further regulations in this area.
Ordinance 1706 represents the beginning of the City's response to this new industry. As the Office of Cannabis
Management rolls out additional rules and the City encounters new challenges, staff anticipate making
adjustments to this section of the code. Ordinance 1706 effectively lays the groundwork for regulating
cannabis businesses in Columbia Heights. Staff will also collaborate with the Planning Commission to assess

whether any zoning code updates are necessary to align with the new law. The state has recommended that
cities treat cannabis businesses like any other type of business in terms of zoning. So far, Columbia Heights has
responded accordingly, treating cannabis retailers as retailers and manufacturers as manufactu rers. Staff do
not foresee significant changes to the zoning code but will explore potential impacts with the Planning
Commission.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1706, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance 1706, being an ordinance amending chapter 5 article vii of the
Columbia Heights City Code to establish the regulation and registration of cannabis related businesses , and
direct staff to send the summary ordinance for publication in the legal newspaper.

BACKGROUND
The City will be paving the parking lots on the east side of City Hall off of 40th Avenue and also on the east
side of the Library north of 39th Avenue. See attached map for parking lot locations. Currently both of these
lots are gravel. The lots will be paved with bituminous.
On June 24, 2024, the City Council authorized staff to advertise the 2024 City Hall and Library Parking Lot
Paving project for bids. In September, plans and specifications were advertised for bids electronically on the
City website and through Quest Construction Data Network. Fifteen contractors (7 prime bidders and 8
subcontractors/suppliers) requested a copy of the bidding documents. Five bids were received and publicly
read aloud at the October 11, 2024 bid opening. The bid opening minutes are attached .
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The low bid was submitted by Winberg Companies of Shafer, Minnesota in the amount of $284,453.08. The
bid was 9.6% lower than the Engineer’s Estimate. Funding will be provided by Infrastructure, General, and
Storm Sewer funds. For the Library lot, staff has also requested a grant from the Library Foundation of 50%
matching that will be considered by the Foundation in November. It is planned to implement the City Hall
paving this Fall and the Library lot in the spring.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the bids received, Winberg Companies is the low, qualified, responsible bidder. Staff is
recommending award of the bid in the amount of $284,453.08 to Winberg Companies of Shafer Minnesota.

BACKGROUND: The Building Official vehicle #430 is a 2008 Ford SUV with over 54,000 miles. The car is in average
to poor condition and was originally scheduled for replacement in 2023. A 4-wheel drive is appropriate for use
by the Building Official as it is utilized for periodic construction site meetings, site inspections, onsite utility
meetings, and general travel. The approved 2024 Community Development budget has $50,000 in the
Inspections Capital Equipment fund for the purchase of an all-wheel drive SUV.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION: Public Works staff has carefully reviewed past, current and projected use of Unit #430.
A summary of the review is as follows: The Ford Escape was purchased in 2008 for $17,393 and is showing
significant wear and tear mechanically and body panel rust. Over $9,490 has been spent on vehicle repairs since
2010. Staff recommends disposing of the existing vehicle by trade or auction.
Staff recommends replacing Unit #430 with one (1) new Ford Bronco Sport SUV with all-wheel drive from the
Midway Ford of Roseville. The Bronco Sport has not been renegotiated since 2023 on the State of Minnesota
Purchasing contract, so staff obtained two quotes for a base 2024 Bronco from Midway Ford of Roseville and
Saxon Ford of New Brighton, both in-stock. Both dealers offered similar discounts but the vehicle from Midway
had a tow package and they would hold the vehicle until authorized by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the purchase of one (1) new 2024 Ford Bronco Sport from
Midway Ford of Roseville, MN based on their low, responsible, qualified bid of $39,550, including a $750 rebate.
The existing vehicle would be disposed of by trade-in.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to authorize the purchase of one Ford Bronco Sport SUV from Midway
Ford of Roseville in the amount of $39,550 minus trade of $2,000 for a final purchase price of $37,550, plus
taxes and fees with funding from the Community Development (Protective Inspections) Capital Equipment
Replacement Fund 431-2400-45150.

BACKGROUND
In November of 2023, the City contracted with the law firm Lockridge, Grindal and Nauen (LGN) to provide
professional lobbyist representation for the City during the 2024 legislative session. The initial contract with
LGN was for a 12-month period. The primary focus for the City during the 2024 legislative session was to
secure bond (grant) funding for the construction of a new Municipal Service Center (MSC). Over the course of
the year, LGN helped the City draft and submit a bonding bill requesting $12M from the state to cover roughly
50% of the estimated cost of construction for a new MSC, and they also helped draft a bill requesting sales tax
exemption and reimbursement for taxes spent on construction materials for the new City Hall. During the
2024 session, LGN advocated for the City’s bonding request and sales tax exemption bill, and they also helped
the City secure a spot on the MN House of Representatives fall bonding tour. In addition to this work, LGN
researched other issues important to the City, including a bill focused on massage therapy licensing, and
various bills aimed at taking away local control of zoning and land-use planning.
Ultimately, the State failed to pass a comprehensive bonding bill in 2024, and the City was not successful in
securing the requested sales tax exemption/reimbursement. This outcome is not un-common, as many cities
must make multiple attempts over a few years to garner support for large projects before securing financial
support from the State. The Council has directed staff to continue the City’s pursuit of bond funding for a new
MSC, and the sales tax exemption. To this end, staff have already prepared a draft bill with help from LGN for
the upcoming legislative session requesting $12M in 2025, and staff plan to do the same for the sales tax
exemption request. With these goals in mind, staff recommend renewing the contract with LGN for
representation during the 2025 legislative session.
In addition to a renewed focus on the MSC funding request, staff would like to explore other legislative
priorities with the Council at the upcoming strategic planning retreat that is planned for early 202 5.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The current contract with LGN is set to expire at the end of October. If approved, the attached contract will
allow LGN to seamlessly transition into preparation for the 2025 legislative session. Staff recommend renewal
of the agreement, as LGN has full knowledge of the MSC request and is prepared to carry the City’s current

momentum into the next session. LGN has proposed the same rate for services as last year’s contract, $40,000
for 12 months of representation, or $3,333/month.

Staff recommend approving the attached contract with Lockridge, Grindal and Nauen for legislative services

ITEM: Amending the Community Development Fee Schedule to Add Administrative Citations Level 1 -

BACKGROUND
At the September 23, 2024 Council meeting, the City Council conducted the second reading of Ordinance
1702, an ordinance establishing an Administrative Citation program for the City. As part of this new program,
the City needs to formally establish the fee for the different levels of citations and a process to compensate
Hearing Examiners for their time hearing cases. The proposed amendment of the fee schedule reflects the
addition of the new citation fee associated with the new program and how the fees escalate based on the
severity of the violation and/or whether the recipient has contacted the issuing official . The initial Level 1 fee
will be set at $100; Level 2 fee will be set at $250; Level 3 fee will be set at $500; and Level 4 fees and all
subsequent citations will be set at $1,000; the Hearing Examiner rate fee will be set at $500 per case to ensure
that the City is able to contract with qualified individuals.
At the October 14, 2024 Council meeting, the City Council will conduct the second reading of Ordinance 1706,
an ordinance establishing registration procedures for cannabis retail businesses and create regulations for
cannabis businesses as permitted by the state. As part of these new regulations, the City needs to formally
establish the fee for the cannabis business registration, cannabis event permit, and registration violations. The
Cannabis business registration fees are explicitly governed by state law (Ch. 342.11). Staff set the fees as close
to the City’s current alcohol license fees as the law would allow. Regarding, the Cannabis Event Permit, staff
thought it best to set the fee at $100/day, the same as the on-sale temporary liquor license. This also includes
the investigation fee for the background check, which staff set at the same rate as the on-sale temporary
liquor license. Last, the cannabis registration violations directly mirror the City’s Alcohol li cense violations with
the caveat of the 4th violation being $2,000 rather than revocation. Staff chose this since $2,000 is the state
allowed limit for the penalty and the City does not have the ability to revoke a registration. The City Can
suspend a registration upon any violation of the registration code but it is the role of the Office of Cannabis
Management to revoke state licenses.

12.2 Merger. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Board of Trustees may apply to merge
with any other plan or pool established under Minnesota law. The Board of Trustees shall solicit
the advice and counsel of the Labor Management Committee in consider ing any such merger.
12.3 Ending Self-Insurance Authority.
12.3.1 Voluntary Termination of Authority to Self-Insure. The Board of Trustees may elect to end
the Pool’s self-insurance authority and cease to provide Coverage, provided such decision
is made at least 45 days before the end of the current Fund Year. The Board shall provide
notice of its decision to the Commissioner within fourteen (14) days.
12.3.2 Revocation of Authority to Self-Insure. The Commissioner shall, by order, revoke the
Pool’s authority to self-insure upon no less than ten (10) days’ written notice if any of the
following events occur, and the Commissioner judges the event(s) to be material:
(a) Failure of the Pool to comply with applicable Minnesota statutes or rules;
(b) Failure of the Pool to comply with any lawful order of the Commissioner;
(c) Commission by the Pool of an unfair or deceptive practice as defined in

(d) Deterioration of the Pool’s financial integrity to the extent that its ability to meet
obligations promptly and in full is or will be significantly impaire d.
12.3.3 Runoff Period. The Pool shall continue to exist as a Runoff Pool after its authority to self-
insure has ended for purposes of paying claims, preparing reports, and administering

Pool shall continue to comply with applicable Minnesota statutes and rules. No Members
shall be permitted to join, leave, or be expelled from the Pool during the runoff period.

Page 20 of 24
(b) The Pool has obtained an irrevocable commitment from a licensed insurer that
provides for payment of all outstanding liabilities and provision of related
services, including claims payment, preparation of reports, and the
administration of transactions associated with the period when the Pool or
Runoff Pool provided Coverage.
12.4.2 Pool Assets and Liabilities Upon Dissolution. Upon receipt of authorization to dissolve, the
Board of Trustees shall distribute the Pool’s assets to Participating Members as follows:
upon final dissolution of the Pool, all property purchased or owned pursuant to this
Agreement shall be sold and the proceeds thereof, together with all other assets not
necessary for satisfaction of the Pool’s obligations, shall be distributed in accordance with
applicable law to the Participating Members. The amount distributed to each
Participating Member shall be based on the following two-step formula:
Step 1. 70% of remaining assets will be distributed based on the ratio of (1) the
total consecutive Member Months associated with each Participating
Member during the final 120 months of coverage provided by the Pool
and, if dissolution occurs prior to January 1, 2032, the Pool’s predecessor
(the Sourcewell Risk Management Pool), divided by (2) the total Member
Months for all Participating Members in the Pool during the final 120
months of such coverage. For this purpose, a “Member Month” is one
month of coverage for each Employee, Dependent, and Former
Employee receiving coverage through the Pool and/or the Sourcewell
Risk Management Pool.
Step 2. 30% of remaining assets will be distributed only to Participating Members
who have annual premiums in the last 12 months of coverage greater
than the Community Rate of the entire Pool. 30% of remaining assets will
be distributed based on the ratio of (1) the amount of annual premium
paid by the Participating Member in the last 12 months of coverage that
exceeds the Community Rate, divided by (2) the total amount of annual
premium paid by all Participating Members that exceeds the Community
Rate. Community Rate is calculated by determining the average
premium amount for each Participating Member needed to fund the
Pool’s medical claims experience adjusted for health plan benefits, age
composition and the geography of each respective Participating Member.

BACKGROUND
At the September 3rd EDA meeting the EDA discussed and passed resolutions setting its budget for 2025. EDA
Resolution 2024-22 requests that the City, on behalf of the EDA, raise the EDA tax levy from $310,000 in 2024
to $375,000 in 2025. Since the EDA tax levy is under the administration of the City Council, the City must
annually approve the EDA tax levy. During review of state statute staff identified an additional public hearing
process which is required when a city increases its EDA levy. At the September 23rd City Council Meeting the
City council started the public hearing process via passage of Resolution 2024 -63. Resolution 2024-63
acknowledged the EDA’s request, established the required petition period, and set a date for the public
hearing regarding the levy increase.
The EDA has requested the levy increase in order to add additional funds to its current and possible future
initiatives. Since the EDA levy is a City tax levy the increase is added onto the city’s overall budget. The
$65,000 increase in the EDA levy contributes .4% to the recommended 8.4% overall increase in the City’s gross
tax levy for 2025. These additional funds will be utilized by the EDA in 2025 to directly invest in economic and
housing development projects throughout the city. Contributing to the direct reinvestment of the funds into
the city. The EDA will distribute the funds to various programs and initiatives through its goal setting in 2025.
Resolution 2024-74 is the final step in the approval of the EDA’s levy increase. Residents still have until
November 4th to petition against the increase, but after November 4th the EDA levy increase will be approved
and included into the City’s budget.

BACKGROUND
The City has been contacted by DISH Wireless with regard to leasing space at the Municipal Service Center for
a PCS antenna facility. Dish is expanding cellular communications in this area under the ‘Boost’ carrier
platform.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
Under the lease, Dish would install a their antenna on the existing 110-foot tall monopole owned by Verizon
along with an equipment platform on the ground and connecting equipment. The equipment platform would
be approximately a 5’ x 7’ in a 10’ x 12’ lease area, which would be chain link fence enclosed. Dish Wireless
would be responsible for all maintenance of their equipment and for removal of the equipment if work needs
to be done on the tower.
The attached lease is in the final form having been reviewed by the City Attorney working with representatives
of Dish Wireless for final content, including lease rates. The main points of the lease are:
Initial annual lease rate: $9,600
Annual escalation on lease: 3%
Initial term: 5 years
Renewable term: Four additional, five-year terms.
As Verizon owns the tower, this is co-locator arrangement where the Dish rents land space from the City and
antenna space from Verizon. Staff feels that by leasing space at the Municipal Service Center, the City will gain
another form of revenue with minimal impact. The 10’ x 12’ lease space as shown allows adequate access for
the future redevelopment of the MSC site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Land Lease with Dish Wireless.

approved for any or no reason; or (ii) Tenant determines, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, that such
Governmental Approvals cannot be obtained in a timely and commercially reasonable manner (clauses (i) and (ii)

any other right or remedy provided herein, at law, in equity or otherwise. In addition to, and not in limitation of,
the preceding, the Parties acknowledge and agree that there will not be an adequate remedy at law for
noncompliance with the provisions of Section 5, and therefore either Party shall have the right to equitable
remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance.

Agreement must be given in writing by certified US mail (postage pre-paid) with return receipt requested or by

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 4721 Chatham Rd NE

BACKGROUND
On September 27, the owner of 4721 Chatham Rd 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
a property owner may request a temporary license to allow an additional rental property for that block. The
property is located on Block 182 which has a total of 34 single family houses and an allotment of three (3)
rentals with the block being at the capacity containing three (3) existing rentals. The City Council may grant or
deny a temporary license in its sole discretion.
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 2024-072 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 temp orary rental license will be valid for one year from the date that the
license is approved. This provides the homeowner and tenant the ability to rent the home for a full one -year
lease. After the term of the temporary license, the persons requesting a tem porary 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approving resolution 2024-072, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption
request for the rental application at 4721 Chatham Rd NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.

Hello Andrew,
Thank you so much for your help and discussion today regarding renting my home in Columbia Heights. Please see the
requested narrative below that briefly outlines my family's history and desire to rent our home on 4721 Chatham Rd NE.
I am planning to be in town on January 4th, and will attend the City Council meeting in person if I can get on the docket.
To the Columbia Heights City Council,
My name is Derek C. Batiste and I am writing to request a rental license exception to be allowed to rent my
home at 4721 Chatham Rd NE. The house was built in 1956 and my grandparents, Charles and Marlyn
Lefebvre were the original owners; it is a place that holds deep, personal significance for me and my family. I
was born in Los Angeles, California and I remember this home vividly as the place I first experienced snow
during a winter visit when I was 6 years old; it is the place where I first heard thunder and saw lightning flash
across the sky; it is the home we came to in 1996 when my family ran out of money and we needed to live with
my grandparents while my mom got back on her feet; it is the home I moved into in 2006 so that I could take
care of my grandfather while I attended the University of Minnesota; it is the home I returned to in 2013 to take
care of my grandmother and go to graduate school to get my Ph.D.; it is the home that my mother would like to
return to when she retires; and hopefully, one day, it is the home I would like to pass on to my kids.
Currently, my mother lives in Washington state and is not yet ready to retire. My partner and I are expecting
our first child in March and we will need to live in Oregon to be near our support system as we begin our family.
Having the ability to rent our home on 4721 Chatham Rd would be a great help to us to ensure the property is
safe, maintained, and ready for us when we are ready to return to Columbia Heights and continue living in the
place our family has loved and cherished for several generations.
I am happy to provide more information if necessary.
Sincerely,
Derek C. Batiste, Ph.D.

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

license because of the density limits will be able to request an exemption and the Council has sole discretion to
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 4721 Chatham Rd 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 4721 Chatham
Rd NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421, allowing the homeowner to apply for a temporary one-year rental license,
with the addition of the following requirements.

licensing process, to receive the temporary license, within 3 months of the passage of this resolution.
2. The temporary rental license shall be valid for the period of one year after the date that the license has
been approved.
3. After the one-year term of the temporary license, the rental license will be revoked, and the property
owner may re-apply for the temporary license again for no more than a period of two years for the

Derek,
I’ve got your rental density exemption on the Council agenda for January 8, 2024. I’ve also attached a
copy of the Initial Rental Inspection application if you would like to fill it out and we’ll hold onto it until
the exemption is approved or denied. If it’s approved, you can pay for the initial inspection and we will
get that scheduled as soon as possible. If it’s denied, then we would just void the application and not
process it.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Thanks,
Andrew
