Libraries serve as vibrant community hubs, connecting people with knowledge, technology, and resources while fostering civic engagement, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. Libraries provide free and equitable access to books, digital tools, and innovative programming, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of background—have the support they need to learn, connect, and thrive. Libraries partner with schools, businesses, and organizations, connecting the dots to maximize resources, increase efficiency, and expand access to essential services, strengthening the entire community. Libraries empower job seekers, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners by providing access to resources, training, and opportunities that support career growth and economic success. Libraries nurture young minds through story times, STEAM programs, and literacy initiatives, fostering curiosity and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Libraries protect the right to read, think, and explore without censorship, standing as champions of intellectual freedom and free expression. Dedicated librarians and library workers provide welcoming spaces that inspire discovery, collaboration, and creativity for all. Libraries, librarians, and library workers across the country are joining together to celebrate National Library Week under the theme “Drawn to the Library”. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, proclaim April 6–12, 2025, as National Library Week. During this week, I encourage all residents to visit our library, explore its resources, and celebrate all the ways that the library draws us together as a community. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor March 24, 2025 5 Item A. Emergency PROCLAMATION Fair Housing Month: April 2025 The Fair Housing Act, enacted on April 11, 1968, enshrined into federal law the goal of eliminating racial segregation and ending housing discrimination in the United States. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status, national origin, and disability, and commits recipients of federal funding to affirmatively further fair housing in their communities. Columbia Heights is committed to the mission and intent of Congress to provide fair and equal housing opportunities for all. Our social fabric, the economy, health, and environment are strengthened in diverse, inclusive communities. More than fifty years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act, discrimination persists, and many communities remain segregated. Acts of housing discrimination and barriers to equal housing opportunity are repugnant to a common sense of decency and fairness. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby declare the month of April 2025 as Fair Housing Month. I further declare, Columbia Heights as an inclusive community committed to fair housing, and to promoting appropriate activities by private and public entities to provide and advocate for equal housing opportunities for all residents and prospective residents of Columbia Heights. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor March 24, 2025 6 Item B. PROCLAMATION Recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility: March 31, 2025 Transgender Day of Visibility honors the memory, resilience, and courage of transgender people in Columbia Heights and around the world. This annual day provides an opportunity for transgender, non-binary, and gender- nonconforming individuals and their allies to raise awareness about the challenges they face, while also recognizing their strength, contributions, and vibrant presence in our community. Transgender community members experience disproportionately high levels of discrimination, violence, unemployment, and barriers to healthcare. These inequities must be addressed through action, policy, and unwavering support. This day is a time to recognize, uplift, and celebrate transgender, gender non- conforming, and non-binary individuals who enrich our city with their talents, leadership, and advocacy. Columbia Heights honors and appreciates those who work tirelessly for equity and justice, ensuring that all people—regardless of gender identity or expression—are treated with dignity, respect, and love. Columbia Heights strives to be a city that actively supports, embraces, and uplifts our transgender community, affirming that everyone deserves to live authentically and without fear. I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2025, as TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY in Columbia Heights and encourage all residents to celebrate, support, and stand in solidarity with our transgender community. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor March 24, 2025 7 Item C.

PROCLAMATIONS, PRESENTATIONS, RECOGNITION, ANNOUNCEMENTS, GUESTS 8 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 10, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 2 A. Tibetan Uprising Day Proclamation. Receiving Proclamation: Jigme Ugen and Tenzin lhamo from the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota. Council President James proclaimed March 10, 2025 as Tibetan Uprising Day and read the City’s proclamation Tenzin Ihamo, Representative from the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota, explained 66 years ago in Tibet’s capital, Tibetan people from all three provinces rose up against the illegal occupation of Tibet and China’s brutal and inhumane policy and practices. Under the violent suppression of Chinese forces, over a million Tibetans lost their lives. Approximately 80,000 Tibetans were led into exile and was marked as one of the darkest periods of history for Tibet. In 1959, following the Chinese People’s Liberation Army invasion of Tibet and the subsequent political upheaval, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, fled Tibet and sought refuge in India. She explained that they honor the brave martyrs and express solidarity with those inside Tibet who continue to languish under the oppressive Chinese government. She noted the establishment of the democratic system in the Central Tibetan Administration was a significant development in the history of the Tibetan people in India. The transition was guided by the Dalai Lama. Tibetan people remain committed to the path of nonviolence and dialogue in finding a lasting and mutually beneficial solution to resolve the Sino-Tibetan conflict through the Middle Way approach. Minnesota is home to one of the largest Tibetan communities in the United States. The Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota establishes and promotes Tibetan culture, language, tradition, and fosters a sense of community among Tibetan Americans in Minnesota. It was founded in 1992 and serves as a cultural and social hub for Tibetan immigrants, refugees and their families who have made Minnesota their home. Today, they gather to mark a pivotal moment in Tibetans’ struggle for autonomy and resistance against China’s control by recognizing the proclamation of March 10th. The proclamation signifies the history of Tibet, and symbolizes the Tibet cultural and religious struggles. She thanked the Council for support and for issuing the Proclamation. Jigme Ugen, Representative from the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota, provided more history around March 10th. Tibet was illegally and forcefully occupied by the Chinese Communist Party in 1949. If Tibet was a free, independent country today, it would be the 10th largest country in the world. In 1959, when Tibetans heard that the Dalai Lama’s life was in danger from the colonizing army, 30,000 citizens voluntarily acted as a human shield to protect the Dalai Lama and demand Tibet’s independence. What followed was one of the most brutal military crackdowns in modern history. March 10th is commemorated as the Tibetan uprising Day. The Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetans were forced into exile. The 14th Dalai Lama is 90 years old and his life is still in danger from the agenda of the Chinese regime. The resistance in Tibet continued until July 1959. At the end, 87,000 Tibetans were massacred and old monasteries and religious artifacts were destroyed. Throughout the years, 1.5 million Tibetans have been killed and countless more have been imprisoned or disappeared. Today, Tibetans inside occupied Tibet are living under the shadows of a surveillance state so extreme that even possessing a photograph of the Dalai 9 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 10, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 3 Lama and the Tibetan national flag can result in up to 20 years of imprisonment, torture and execution. Over a million Tibetan children are forced into colonial boarding schools with generations of cultural memory being erased. In 2007, the regime implemented a law making all reincarnations of Tibetan spiritual leaders illegal without their approval. It created complete control over the religion, including interfering with the Dalai Lama. The 2025 Freedom House report ranks Tibet as the least free country in the world. He explained that people inside occupied Tibet refuse to be those who have been conquered. 168 Tibetans have self-immolated calling for Tibet’s independence and the return of the Dalai Lama. March 10th is the day that Tibetans stood up, and their voice was heard around the world. March 10th proved that Tibetans are not conquered people and they reject the false narrative that Tibet has been a part of China. Chinese government fears March 10th because it embodies the unyielding spirit, the collective memory, and the relentless quest for freedom. He expressed his gratitude to the City for recognizing March 10 th as Tibet Day and standing with Tibetans in pursuit of justice. He added that soon the Dalai Lama will be able to return back home to Tibet. B. Ramadan Proclamation. Council President James proclaimed March 2025 as The Month of Ramadan and read the City’s proclamation Islamic Center of Minnesota representatives Bisharo Jama and Shireen Karim received the proclamation and thanked the Council for the proclamation. COMMUNITY FORUM Greg Logacz and Larene St. Gabriel Dargay, City residents, addressed the Council. Mr. Logacz informed the Council about a tentative proposal to hold a music and cultural celebration in the City during fall 2025 or 2026. The celebration would be a one or two-day multicultural event. The site, days, hours, and other details are yet to be determined, but Murzyn Hall would be the ideal location. Musical, theatrical, artistic, and food vendors would be invited. The priority would be Columbia Heights organization. The Sister City committee understands that the event would require substantial human and financial resources. Columbia Heights Sister City will hold fundraising events. If the Council approves the event, the Columbia Heights Sister City committee will initiate steps to publicize the event, recruit people, raise money, and meet legal requirements. He explained that they a re looking for a positive reaction from the Council. Ms. St. Gabriel Dargay added that the committee has support for addressing the event as a festival. The committee has not voted on the event yet, but wanted to see what the reaction was from the Council. She noted that the committee would like to see more multicultural festivals moving forward because they want to embrace all cultures in the City. Festivals are a wonderful place to join together and celebrate others’ cultures. She noted that she has contact information regarding funding for a proposal she had in 2024 about an art center. Dewayne Morrell, City resident, asked if the Mayor had office space in the facility. Council President James replied that all of the Councilmembers and Mayors have office space to utilize in the building. Mr. Morrell asked who owns the water meters that are being removed. Council President James replied that it would be discussed later in the meeting. Mr. Morrell stated the City has paid too much on the impound lot. He added that there is a conflict of interest with the City and Hilltop Trailer Sales and the City is being too generous. He added that there have been a number of violations that have 10 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 10, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 4 not been addressed due to the conflict of interest. He mentioned that he thinks the owner should have been required to put the lot up for public auction or sale and let the public determine the value of the property. He questioned if Public Works Director Hansen knew the value of the property. He asked if the City needs another Public Works building. The reason for the new Public Works building has been due to the building deteriorating. He mentioned that the City has not been critical enough of the Public Works staff to raise the performance level so that a new Public Works building is not needed. Councilmember Buesgens stated that it is preferred that specific staff names are not mentioned. Mr. Morrell mentioned that there used to be a rule where violators could not profit off of their violations. He asked if a new installed water meter becomes a real property.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Ordinances and Resolutions. 11 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 10, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 5 8. Resolution 2025-31, Establishing a Surcharge on Noncompliant Water Meters. Finance Director Kloiber stated in 2023 and 2024, the City Council awarded contracts for the replacement of approximately 6,600 water meters citywide and certain concurrent utility inspections. Those replacements and inspections began November 2024. The volume of upcoming installation and inspection appointments voluntarily scheduled by customers has dropped off considerably in recent weeks. For three prior utility projects requiring entry into private homes and businesses from 1999 through 2014, the City utilized a penalty or surcharge to incentivize compliance by customers who failed to respond to requests to schedule appointments or failed to appear for appointments. In most cases, the surcharge functioned as intended and achieved comp liance. For a certain customer segment, however, the surcharge did not change their behavior or achieve compliance, even when aggregated over multiple years. It is noted that the current project is not billed separately to the customer but is paid through routine monthly charges on the utility bill. Finance Director Kloiber mentioned as of March 1, 2025, approximately 70% of the installations and inspections have been completed and 400+ appointments are scheduled through the first week of March. Every nonresponding utility customer has been issued three notices by mail, plus attempted phone calls and emails if those contact methods are available. Approximately 98% of nonresponding customers have had a representative door knock at the customer’s service address. If there was no response to the door knock, the representative adhered a notice to the door of the service address. During the first weeks of March, the remaining 2% of service addresses will be door-knocked and notice-posted. The notices have been made available in English, Spanish, and Somali. These customer- specific contacts are all in addition to the City’s general publicity of this project through its website, newsletters, and messages on all customer utility bills. Approximately 1,000 customers have not scheduled appointments yet. Finance Director Kloiber noted timely compliance with this citywide project is necessary to avoid the costs of maintaining duplicate meter reading equipment and processes, as well as utilizing the efficiency of contractors to perform the installations and inspections – while the contractors are still available. City water and sewer staff will have limited availability to perform these installations and inspections in addition to their ongoing responsibilities. Furthermore, the new meters provide a dramatically greater ability to detect potential health and safety issues from significant water leaks inside a home or business. Staff recommends implementing a surcharge of $100 per month on the utility bill ($300 per quarterly bill) for noncompliance, together with updated customer notifications reflecting this surcharge. To emphasize that the surcharge is only to achieve compliance and not for revenue generation, staff recommends that the surcharge be refunded on the utility bill when the customer comes into compliance or is disconnected from water service. To simplify the refunding of the surcharge, it would also not be subject to the 7% late fee otherwise included in the utility bill. Councilmember Deneen mentioned that the water meters are an infrastructure part of the house that has a life span. The current water meters are not working anymore since they do not give an accurate reading. She encouraged residents to remind each other to get it 12 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 10, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 6 done. Councilmember Spriggs agreed and added that more information can be found on the City’s website as well as the number to call to schedule the appointment. Councilmember Buesgens noted that the new water meter will be more efficient and accurate, which will help residents see how much water they are using, and it will save City staff time. Council President James expressed her gratitude for the letters that have gone out and for City representatives for going door to door. She added the surcharge is a last resort to ensure the water meters are all updated. The decision to replace the water meters was made by the Council because it will be more efficient and the City will be able to test for lead in the pipes. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Deneen, to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-31, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 4-0. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Deneen, to adopt Resolution 2025-31, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights establishing a surcharge on noncompliant water meters. All Ayes, Motion Carried 4-0.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE MARCH 24, 2025 18 Item 3. Park & Recreation Commission Meeting City Hall, 3989 Central Ave NE January 22, 2025 MINUTES Call to Order/Roll Call Andrea Ostergaard called the meeting to order at 6:08 pm Members present: Teresa Eisenbise, Taher Herzallah, Andrea Ostergaard, Priscilla Perez Umphress Staff present: David Cullen, Public Works Streets/Parks Superintendent; Keith Windschitl, Recreation Director; Deanna Saefke, Recreation Secretary; Connie Buesgens, Council Liaison MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Columbia Heights Parks & Recreation Department is to foster a healthy, inclusive community by providing a diverse park system and recreational opportunities that enhance the quality of life for people of all ages while fostering sustainability and environmental stewardship for future generations. Community Forum None at this time. Consent Agenda Motion by Eisenbise, second by Perez Umphress, to approve the consent agenda. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Letters and Requests None at this time. Old Business Update Sullivan Lake Master Plan Cullen reported in 2024 the Commission reviewed the installation of a fitness court at Sullivan Lake Park. Based on the recommendations to the City Council the equipment for the fitness court was purchased in 2024 for installation in 2025, saving approximately $20,000 in 2025 pricing increases. No work has been performed at Sullivan Lake Park since 2008 when the park was last developed. At the December Park & Recreation Commission meeting construction phasing of the master plan along with costs estimates were reviewed. An update of funding, phasing, and planning is as follows. An additional grant of $250,000 was awarded in January to the City for the installation of a fitness court, removals, grading, lighting, benches, and trails. Cullen reported the Community Development staff worked on that grant. Ostergaard asked if the trails aspect would include the trail around Sullivan Lake since we didn’t get the grant for those improvements. Cullen replied it would be for new trails. Windschitl reported some of the money was from Anoka County and was originally money for use during COVID and this project met the criteria to be awarded this funding. Cullen indicated staff are working on the application for a grant through the DNR to support both the new playground area and sport courts in phase two of the plan. Hansen and Cullen are working with the Utilities Department to look at hydraulic studies for the completed Medtronic site and replacement of the Sullivan Lake sanitary lift station. There is also a watermain connection from 51st Avenue to 53rd Avenue to provide adequate flow and fire protection. Utility work will need to be coordinated with the parks improvement plan. The lift station will need to be designed in 2025 for installation in late fall of 2025 or spring of 2026. The watermain will need to be extended from 51st Avenue, north of the new play area, prior to phase two or three. Windschitl added some of the water work needs to be redone in order to meet the needs of the new development in the old Medtronic site. Especially if it becomes housing. Ostergaard asked if that is the same issue holding up the development at the old Rainbow site. She had heard there was a lot of utility work that needs to be done. Cullen answered no. Buesgens replied the groundbreaking is supposed to be 19 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights January 22, 2025 Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 2 spring of 2025. Finances and some other things have finally fallen into place. It is still unsure if there will be a grocery store at that location. Through the TIFF money that the developer is receiving there will be complete overhaul of the pipes and sanitary sewer lines, storm drains. Cullen added Jackson pond will be included. They will also look at the potential development of the site and the needs and capacity of the system. Buesgens added they will take care of the flooding issues in that area. Ostergaard replied that it is great and knows that people are waiting. Eisenbise asked if it was a staffing group that applied for that extra grant for the Sullivan project. Windschitl replied it was staff from the Community Development Department. Buesgens responded there is a Director who oversees economic development, there is a City Planner, and a City Inspector. Eisenbise asked if they were the ones who got the grant. Buesgens replied yes, they have connections with the county and the county has certain amounts of money that can be used for projects. Windschitl added there was an original amount awarded to the city and staff went back and applied for additional money. Cullen indicated this is proactive work done through Community Development that is ongoing. Ostergaard indicated it would be a nice presentation for the Commission to meet the staff and see what their views are on the development of the park system in the city at a future meeting. Eisenbise asked what the restrooms would be like at Sullivan Park, just the portable ones. Cullen replied it is undetermined what the final plan will include for that. He believes there will be portable ones as opposed to a permanent one that needs to be heated, they cost more, cleaning it, locking it, and security. Windschitl replied that the plan is to remove the existing building and not build new restrooms. Ostergaard asked how the parks passport is going. Perez Umphress replied in December an email was sent to the communications staff. Saefke indicated Rottler, the Communications & Engagement Coordinator, couldn’t attend this meeting but is available in February. She asked if the commission wanted to discuss their ideas and goals are now so they have an idea before he attends the meeting. Buesgens asked if the park passport could be explained. Perez Umphress explained while at a Roseville nature center she saw a passport to all of the different city parks. It stated all of the amenities at each park. She designed one on Canva and made a rating scale using slides. She didn’t realize how many parks were in Columbia Heights until she joined the commission. Ostergaard replied it would be a great way to obtain feedback on the parks. The idea being that people would turn in the passports. Windschitl asked if the city of Roseville had hard copies of this. He was wondering if there is another way to get this out to the public. Even just a reference for people looking at the website. It would be nice to have more photos and amenities listed on the city website. He complimented Perez Umphress on the work she did, it looks great. Having the passport online would be a great reference for people and avoid a lot of phone calls that staff receive regarding what amenities are available at the parks. Ostergaard indicated logos are needed on the passport and also receive feedback from staff. Perez Umphress replied that updated photos are needed as well. She used ones from the city website and Google maps. Buesgens asked what photos were on the website for Lomianki Park. The park passport was displayed and Lomianki Park just has a photo of the wood park sign. Ostergaard realized when she joined the commission that she was very unfamiliar with all of the parks in the city. She indicated it would be nice to have some printed copies at our events like Pets in the Park, but not a lot are needed. Buesgens mentioned a previous city manager had seen other cities having medallions or other types of prizes for contests. Ostergaard recapped that Rottler will meet with the group, and get updated pictures on the passport. Saefke replied staff are working on getting updated park photos on the website, a city logo will be added to the passport, making sure the commission agrees with the final product, getting ideas on how to promote the passport, and have a prize or goal for turning them back in. Ostergaard indicated a summer campaign would be good and then turn them in by Truck or Treat time. Cullen suggested the Art & Info Fair is also a good time to put it out to the public. Ostergaard indicated if this is a campaign where it is closed out at a certain time it would give the commission time to reflect on the process, did we receive good feedback, do we want to try it again or even expand it in any way. Eisenbise added that having the passport available indefinitely for a passive activity is still a good idea. Perez Umphress indicated that receiving a prize during a certain time frame is good. Eisenbise indicated design work can continue and is wondering if Rottler can attend a meeting. Saefke replied yes he is available in February. Ostergaard asked if the Communications 20 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights January 22, 2025 Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 3 staff will then take the project and run with it or at what is the implementation process. Saefke replied that it will be a good discussion. Staff can help with the final design and get the marketing and communication portion out to the public. Cullen suggested submitting some questions ahead of time to Rottler so there are expectations and answers for the next meeting. Ostergaard asked if there needs to be a meeting with Rottler prior to the meeting or if he is aware of the passport. Saefke replied that is why this discussion was started now. Members can email questions and suggestions to her and then get them to Rottler. He did look at what the City of Roseville offers for their passport program. She complimented the members on getting this community engagement program started and that it will be a great way to obtain feedback from the public on the park system for staff to review. This program can be as big or as little as they want but it is the first project they are implementing and is a steppingstone for future things. Cullen suggested having three or four things to have answers for at the next meeting. Buesgens suggested putting it in the monthly E-newsletter. Herzallah stated they would like to see more of a concept based off what Perez Umphress made that would be turned into a hard copy. Having Rottler explain what the process would be for publishing the passport and the best way to market the program. He asked when the next city newsletter is being distributed. Buesgens replied there is a monthly e- newsletter online and printed one quarterly. Saefke replied mid-February will be the spring newsletter. The summer newsletter will cover June, July and August. Eisenbise stated it would be great to get the passport in the monthly e- newsletter. Ostergaard took notes and will email that to Saefke. Herzallah asked how the schools use the park space in the city. Windschitl replied they use the softball field for the girl’s team at Ramsdell Park. This is probably the most utilized facility that the city owns or operates. This is a joint effort when using it for softball because the school district does the field maintenance, and the city does the mowing and lawn care. Columbia Academy uses McKenna Park for some of their softball games. Keyes Park is occasionally used for softball, for 12 & Under teams. Immaculate Conception School uses Huset Park for baseball, softball, and soccer. Saefke replied sometimes special events are held at McKenna and Ramsdell Park. Ostergaard reported that Valley View uses McKenna Park a lot and they do take the younger students on a field trip to Sullivan Park often. New Business None at this time. Reports A. Recreation Director Windschitl reported that the Total Body Conditioning exercise program has a high amount of participation and there is a waiting list for January classes. The adult open volleyball at the Hylander Center happens on Friday evenings and is having forty adults or more. People pay a couple of dollars to get in and we will be raising that fee within the next few months based on what surround communities charge for the same activity. Buesgens asked how many nets there are. Windschitl replied two. At times we will utilize the school gym if it is available. Due to the high usage in the gym he has budgeted a little more for maintenance next year but is hoping that it is not as much as it was this past year. The senior citizen program coordinator has been running a lot of new and different programs. She brings the seniors to concerts, plays, theaters, and it has really attracted a lot of younger seniors. It has really taken off. Buesgens reported that Candy Lack does a really great job. Windschitl indicated there is an ice skating program on Saturdays with 19 kids signed up so far. The last two year the warming house has been open during that class time at Huset Park. The boy’s basketball program has had a lot of last minute registrations but there will be a team at every grade level. If people would register earlier or on time we could often have two teams but had to commit to the league by a certain date. Ostergaard asked what the feeder programs are for our school sports. Windschitl replied it is recreation programs and the Columbia Academy will take over at 6th or 7th grade for most sports. Sometimes we have had teams continue on into other competitive leagues through the recreation department and still play school sports during those seasons. Windschitl reminded the commission that the annual SnowBLAST is coming up on Saturday February 1st. If anyone wants 21 Item 3. City of Columbia Heights January 22, 2025 Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of the Meeting Page 4 to volunteer to sit at a welcome table or another activity please let Saefke or Rottler know. Eisenbise replied that she wants to but needs to check her schedule. Saefke replied that even if someone has an hour or a specific time there are things to help with distributing ice skates, handing out program, helping to take things down at the end. The band Pickle will be playing in the heated tent for the whole time. If there is snow we will get snowshoes. There will be firepits, smores, popcorn, the tractor will be pulling the trailer around the park again, snow soccer, pony rides and other animals to pet and the CH Athletic Booster will have soup. She indicated there will be Key Club volunteers. There is a need at the end to help take things down and get equipment back into the park building. B. Public Works Director Cullen reported that he is working on finalizing the purchase of two pieces of equipment. One is a trash loader for the parks system. It is a bigger version of the mine dump truck. The second one is a replacement tractor for ice rink maintenance and summer maintenance at parks. The ice is looking really good for skating. In February they will be reaching out to obtain part time seasonal staff for the summer. Herzallah asked if they use a Zamboni for the ice. Cullen replied no because the rinks are all outdoors and use a water truck for flooding to build the ice and then an ice scraper to smooth out the bumps. Ostergaard asked if there were any updates on the public works building. Cullen replied internally staff are working with architects to look at different designs. The biggest question comes down to funding. Buesgens replied this is a bonding year and are hoping to receive funding. C. Commission Members Buesgens reported at the recent Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, MWMO, meeting staff requested funding and were approved for $88,000 to pay for professional engineering services to conduct a water quality study pf Sullivan Lake, including an assessment of current conditions and understanding of the ecological behavior and response to incoming pollutants, and a plan to work towards improving the lake in the future. Members indicated that is exciting to receive help to improve the quality of that lake. Buesgens indicated that Heights NEXT, based on the book that she presented to the commission, would like to see if Commission Members would be interested in working together to host a chess event along with the chess club at the High School. They would hold the event outside by Murzyn Hall in the shaded area. Eisenbise replied yes. Buesgens would like to have the event in May or some time before school is out. Eisenbise reported her family went to Huset Park for the open warming house and it was great. They were there early and the only ones there at the time. When they were leaving other people were showing up. The ice was in great condition. Motion by Eisenbise, second by Perez Umphress, to adjourn the meeting. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. Ostergaard adjourned the meeting at 7:09 pm. Deanna Saefke, Recreation Secretary 22 Item 3.

These efforts are aimed at creating alignment with the Council’s vision for priorities and they also help to manage expectations for staff work plans across all divisions. It is expected that the Council and key leadership staff participate in the strategic planning process. For 2025, staff intend to continue the trend of strategic planning and would like to hire Phil Kern to facilitate a two-day strategic leadership workshop with Council and staff this spring. Phil Kern has facilitated this work on behalf of the City for the past five years and his working knowledge of the City allows for continuity of the process and helps promote efficiency. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Staff have scheduled the strategic planning exercise to take place over a two-day period. Day one is scheduled for Tuesday April 22nd, and Day two is scheduled for Thursday May 8th. These sessions will be posted as special meetings of the City Council and will be open to the public. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the Council approve Resolution 2025-21, authorizing staff to execute the attached professional services agreement in the amount of $3,300 with Phill Kern for strategic leadership facilitation services. Completion of the strategic planning exercise will better prepare staff and the Council for the 2026 budgeting process, thereby setting priorities for funding and staff work plans over the next two years.

City of Columbia Heights 2025 Strategic Leadership Process September 20, 2024 Mr. Aaron Chirpich City Manager City of Columbia Heights RE: Proposal for Strategic Leadership, 2025 & 2026 Dear Aaron- It is my pleasure to submit to you this proposal for facilitating the City of Columbia Heights 2025 Strategic Leadership process. Leading in local government presents considerable challenges, making collaboration among leadership teams essential for effective organizations. It’s crucial to create a shared vision and strategies that steer both the organization and the City toward that vision. A well-defined vision and long-term strategies empower decision-makers and staff to tackle short-term goals and daily tasks with a unified understanding of their objectives and purpose, fostering clarity across all leadership levels. This approach can enhance various aspects of local government leadership, such as budgeting, project prioritization, and everyday decision-making. The time and effort required for a strategic planning process are substantial, but they are investments that yield significant returns. In this proposal, I will outline the components and outcomes of the process, but it’s equally important to emphasize the value of coming together as a leadership team to discuss the City and its organization. Governing bodies often find themselves consumed by urgent issues, making it essential to periodically step back and address both urgent and long-term matters that affect the City’s future. As a City Administrator, I have found that conducting a strategic planning and goal-setting process every two years, along with periodic check-ins in between, has been a beneficial practice for my City’s leadership team. Having worked with Columbia Heights for several years, I have a strong understanding of the past work on strategic planning and leadership. With organizational changes since the last strategic plan, the objective in 2025 is to start fresh, using past planning as background, and develop a new Strategic Plan to guide the City. I think this is a healthy and normal process to allow the Council and staff leadership freedom to have a fresh look at organizational and community conditions, then establish strategies and goals to guide the city in the coming years. Attached is an outline of the recommended Strategic Leadership process for 2025. This outline includes an explanation of the process and outcomes. This process will be similar to the activities the City has used in the past, with adaptations to meet your current needs. Additionally, the second page of the attachment gives a glimpse of a recommended follow-up program for 2026 that focuses on evaluating progress, considering changing conditions, and updating the short-term workplan. The fee for facilitation services to complete the 2025 Strategic Leadership process is $3,300. It is anticipated that 26 Item 4. the fee for facilitation of the 2026 Workplan Refinement program would range from $2,100 - $3,300 (depending on potential alternatives). Facilitation services will include preparation of agenda and materials for the session. All materials will be provided to you electronically at least three working days prior to each session. Additionally, a final report containing the outcomes of the session will be provided electronically no later than seven days after the completion of the session. The City shall be responsible for providing the necessary copies of materials for participants and any requested by members of the public. Payment shall be remitted within 30 days of submission of the final report. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal and it would be a pleasure to once again work with the City of Columbia Heights.

ITEM: 2025 Capital Equipment Replacement: Caterpillar 906 14 Compact Wheel Loader. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: David Cullen Public Works Superintendent / March 17, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community X Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND: Columbia Heights has over 17 miles of paved alleys that are plowed during every snow event. These alleys present ongoing challenges for Public Works staff, a task made increasingly difficult as municipal dump trucks grow in size year by year. Narrow alley widths, steep hills, and sharp turns further complicate operations. Additionally, factors such as garbage cans placed too far into the alley, parked cars encroaching on the drive lane, and heavy snow accumulations over time that reduce alley widths can significantly hinder or even prevent safe and effective snow plowing. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS: Unit #84, a 2013 International Dump Truck purchased in 2012, has a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years and has now been in service for 12 years. Maintenance records indicate that $83,029.71 has been spent on repairs, and the unit has reached the end of its expected life cycle. Unit #84 was primarily used in the Street Department as a route plow truck equipped with a rear wing. In 2021-2022, Unit #84 was repurposed to replace an aging alley V -plow dump truck. Dump trucks purchased in the late 1990s were considerably smaller than their future replacements, which created challenges for alley plowing. The increased width and overall size of newer models have made navigating tight alley spaces difficult, particularly during snow-plowing operations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: After a detailed assessment of its current condition and the department’s operational needs, staff recommends replacing Unit #84 with a 2025 CAT 906 Wheel Loader with a v-plow. Depending on which option provides the greatest value and benefit to the city and its taxpayers, Unit #84 will either be traded in as part of the purchase of its replacement, sold at auction, or repurposed within city departments . The CAT 906 is available off the State of Minnesota purchasing contract. CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE MARCH 24, 2025 32 Item 6.

Unit #08 is assigned to the Street Department and is utilized year-round to support operations such as snow plowing, street maintenance, and general Public Works-related services. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Unit #08 has been in service for 15 years. Maintenance records indicate that $22,735.80 has been spent on repairs, and the unit has reached the end of its expected life cycle, making it due for replacement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Following a detailed assessment of its current use and the department’s operational needs, Unit #08 will be replaced with a 2025 Ford F-350 XLT 4x4 pickup truck. The vehicle is available off the State Contract from Midway Ford.

ITEM: Approve NineNorth Contract and Resolution 2025-33 to Amend the 225 Budget for Cable Equipment. DEPARTMENT: Information Technology BY/DATE: Jesse Hauf, IT Director / March 17, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community X_Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly X_Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community X_Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND In 2020, the City of Columbia Heights partnered with Granicus (formerly Swagit) to produce Council and Planning Commission meetings. This partnership includes video production, Video On Demand (VOD) hosting, and Closed Captioning (CC) services. A key benefit of working with Granicus is their fully remote production staff, eliminating the need to hire and train multiple part-time employees to produce meetings held one to two times per week. Initially, under Swagit, production quality was on par with or exceeded what the City could produce internally. However, during the transition to the new City Hall building, Swagit was acquired by Granicus. Since the acquisition, production quality has steadily declined. On several occasions, meetings appear to lack a ctive production staff once they have started. Despite multiple attempts by City Communications staff to address these concerns with Granicus, production quality has not improved. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS In response to the decline in production quality, staff investigated two alternative service providers: North Metro TV (based in Blaine) and NineNorth (based in Roseville). North Metro TV was unable to provide clear pricing or a comprehensive plan sufficient for consideration. In contrast, NineNorth offe red transparent, upfront pricing and a detailed plan to establish a partnership. NineNorth has been a trusted provider since the 1980s, originally formed through a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between 9 North metropolitan cities to manage their cable channels. In recent years, NineNorth has expanded its services beyond the original 9 cities to include others in the metro area. Cities like Vadnais Heights, North St. Paul, Shoreview, and Maplewood currently use NineNorth's services. Notably, Shoreview and Maplewood utilize NineNorth for engineering services and meeting production, aligning closely with Columbia Heights' needs. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE 03/24/2025 63 Item 11. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 NineNorth's pricing reflects a 61% reduction in per-meeting costs compared to the City’s current provider. Additionally, NineNorth will provide onsite production staff for meetings, which will reduce the workload on City staff and ensure thorough preparation and oversight of production during meetings. The proposed solution is twofold: 1. NineNorth Services: NineNorth will manage engineering services and provide an onsite operator to oversee meeting production. 2. Cablecast System Expansion: The City will expand its existing Cablecast system to include Video On Demand (VOD) hosting and Cloud Captioning (CC) services. This change offers a 77% reduction in per- meeting costs compared Granicus. NineNorth and Cablecast will require additional equipment and software for implementation. Staff collaborated with NineNorth to develop a list of necessary equipment to upgrade the AV room, ensuring it can accommodate a human operator. After obtaining quotes for the required components, staff recommends AVI, a Minnesota-based company, for sourcing the equipment. AVI provided the most competitive pricing along with excellent pre-sales support. Total amount of equipment from AVI: $69,974.21 (+14% included for tariffs) Some equipment was more competitively priced or more conveniently available from other vendors, including Core4 (a Minnesota-based company), Dell, and B&H Photo. Total amount of equipment from other vendors: $10,813.95 The Information Technology team will manage the installation of the equipment, while NineNorth will handle engineering and programming at a rate of $100 per hour. Additionally, due to integration with the existing Council Chamber AV system, VSI will need to be engaged at a rate of $168 per hour. Total amount of professional services: $12,720.00 Total budget amendment: $93,508.16 Considering the significant cost savings associated with transitioning to NineNorth for cable production, the equipment costs will be fully offset within three years. Funding for these improvements will come from Fund 225 (Cable Television), which has a balance of $862,000.00 to support the expenditure. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract with NineNorth and amending the 2025 Cable Budget, as outlined in the attached resolution, to approve the purch ase of specified equipment and professional services. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to approve the City Manager entering into a contract with NineNorth for a 3-year term for cable production services. 64 Item 11. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 3 MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-33, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2025-33 amending the Fund 225 budget to authorize the purchase of equipment and professional services from specified vendors.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-33 AMEND THE FUND 225 CABLE BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights has identified NineNorth as the preferred provider for meeting production services, offering on-site support and significant cost savings; and WHEREAS, additional equipment and software upgrades are necessary to accommodate on -site production, with staff obtaining competitive quotes for required components; and WHEREAS, the estimated cost to complete these improvements is $93,508.16. The City Council of the City of Columbia Heights has determined that completing these improvements is beneficial to City cable production and staff efficiency as currently estimated; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Columbia Heights amends the 2025 Cable Budget to appropriate $93,508.16 from Fund 225 for the purchase of production equipment and professional services necessary for the transition to NineNorth.

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 3800 3rd Street NE DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner, March 18, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly X Trusted and Engaged Leadership _Thriving and Vibrant Destination Community _ Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND On March 13, 2025, the owner of 3800 3rd Street NE, reached out to the Community Development Department in writing to request an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. The week prior, the property was posted Unlawful to Occupy after the Fire Department determined the property was an illegal rental, which is when the owner started the conversation about licensing. The owner has a brother that is renting the property and they were unaware this required a license. The property is located on Block 6 with two (2) single family rentals out of 9 total single-family units and an allotment of one (1) single family rentals. Attached is the application that staff received. Section 1 of Ordinance 1685, which established the single- family rental density cap, states that: “If the number of detached single-family dwellings rental properties meets or exceeds the permitted number of rental properties per defined block on the effective date of the ordinance from whic h this section is derived, a property owner may request a temporary license to allow an additional rental property for that block. The City Council may grant or deny a temporary license in its sole discretion. Persons requesting a temporary license must make an annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary rental license for the same property for more than two consecutive years.” As it is the homeowners’ right to appeal to the Council. Staff brought forth the appeal along with supporting documents for discussion and review. If approved, Resolution 2025-034 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 th ey 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 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT AGENDA MEETING DATE MARCH 24, 2025 82 Item 12. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 for more than two consecutive years. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-034, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2025-034, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption request for the rental application at 3800 3rd Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City does hereby approve the exemption request for 3800 3rd Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421, allowing the homeowner to apply for a temporary one -year rental license, with the addition of the following requirements. 1. The owner of 3800 3rd Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 must apply for and complete the licensing process, to receive the temporary license, within 3 months of the passage of this resolution. 2.
