During Autism Acceptance Month, we deepen our commitment to embracing neurodiversity and celebrating the contributions of our neighbors on the autism spectrum. One in 34 Minnesotans is diagnosed with autism. As understanding and awareness have grown, so too has the recognition that autism is a spectrum, and support must reflect that. Some individuals may need lifelong, 24/7 care, while others require accommodations to thrive in schools, workplaces, and community spaces. Every person with autism deserves access to the resources, dignity, and belonging that allow them to live fully. Autistic individuals enrich our community through their perspectives, talents, and lived experiences. We honor the diverse and intersectional identities within the autism community and the vibrant culture that has emerged from it. True acceptance means moving beyond awareness. It means ensuring our city’s policies, services, schools, and businesses reflect our values of inclusion and accessibility. It means recognizing that there's still work to be done, especially when creating systems that are welcoming to all neurotypes. This April, Columbia Heights proudly honors Autism Acceptance Month and World Autism Day on April 2. Together, we celebrate the beauty of neurodiversity and reaffirm our responsibility to build a community where everyone feels seen, respected, and valued. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby declare the month of April 2025 as Autism Awareness Month. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor April 14, 2025 6 Item A. PROCLAMATION Recognizing April 22, 2025, as Earth Day Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, with the goal of inspiring an appreciation of our nation’s natural resources through conservation and environmental protection. From the conception of Earth Day, activists across Minnesota have engaged in this national movement and established a tradition of environmental consciousness. On the very first Earth Day in 1970, approximately 350 University of Minnesota students protested unsustainable energy practices. Indigenous movements in Minnesota have organized to preserve the health and stability of the environment. The global community is facing extraordinary environmental challenges, such as climate extremes, public health issues, economic strains, and food and water shortages. These challenges will continue to have more severe, negative, and lasting impacts on every member of our global community and have been found to disproportionally affect people with low income, people of color, indigenous communities, and immigrants. The people of Columbia Heights must continue to step forward and take action to create positive environmental changes to combat these extraordinary challenges. People and organizations across Columbia Heights celebrate Earth Month with activities throughout April in recognition of our commitment to environmental stewardship while remembering that one day is not enough. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby proclaim and recognize April 22, 2025, as Earth Day in the City of Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor April 14, 2025 7 Item B. PROCLAMATION Arbor Day – Arbor Month Trees and forest soils play a vital role in protecting our environment. They help clean our lakes and streams by naturally filtering pollutants and sediments. Forest soils act like sponges, absorbing and storing rainwater and snowmelt, reducing stormwater runoff, and preventing flooding. This water is then slowly released into our lakes, streams, and groundwater, keeping our ecosystems balanced. Thoughtful management of our forests is one of the most effective ways to protect our drinking water and reduce the cost of water treatment. Forested public lands surrounding the Mississippi River provide over one million Minnesotans with clean drinking water. In fact, about three-quarters of all Minnesotans rely on drinking water that originates in our state’s forested regions. Planting and caring for trees is one of the most straightforward and powerful actions to protect our water and environment. Trees connect us to clean water, air, shade, beauty, and climate resilience. Each year, on the last Friday in April and throughout May, Minnesotans unite to recognize and celebrate trees' essential role in our lives. It is a time to recommit to nurturing the vitality of our forests and planting seeds for a healthier future. In Columbia Heights, we will celebrate Arbor Day on Friday, April 25th, 2025, with a special tree planting event. Our City Forester will be on hand to share knowledge and answer questions. Children are invited to participate in the planting and learn about the importance of trees in our community. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, Minnesota, do hereby proclaim Friday, April 25, 2025 as Arbor Day, and the month of May 2025, as Arbor Month in the City of Columbia Heights. Let us celebrate by planting, protecting, and appreciating the trees that sustain us all. ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor April 14, 2025 8 Item C. PROCLAMATION National Volunteer Month: April 2025 In Columbia Heights, volunteers make a real difference every day. When people offer their time, talents, and energy to help others, they strengthen the heart of our community. From tackling climate change to providing food and shelter for neighbors in need, volunteers across Minnesota have stepped up in powerful ways. They've helped reduce inequality, supported those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and shown us all what it means to care for one another. In our state, 40.3% of people formally volunteer through organizations, while 63.4% give their time informally by helping friends, family, and neighbors. This spirit of generosity has earned Minnesota the third-highest volunteerism rate in the country. Between September 2022 and 2023, more than 1.8 million Minnesotans gave over 110 million hours of service. Here in Columbia Heights, that spirit is alive and thriving. Volunteer groups like the Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, HeightsNEXT, our neighborhood associations, and faith communities regularly lead service projects, organize events, and offer helping hands. Many individuals give their time at SACA (Southern Anoka Community Assistance), in our schools, our public library, and within their places of worship. Their work uplifts neighbors, creates meaningful connections, and improves lives in visible and lasting ways. Volunteers are at the core of what makes communities like Columbia Heights thrive. They build stronger, more connected neighborhoods and inspire lasting change where they live, work, and play. During Volunteer Month, we celebrate how people use their time and voices to uplift causes they care about. We also recognize the essential role of volunteers in creating a more equitable and resilient community. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, proclaim April 2025, as National Volunteer Month in the City of Columbia Heights. I encourage individuals, families, and groups to find opportunities to get involved and make a difference through service. Our community is stronger because of you ________________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor April 14, 2025 9 Item D.

COMMUNITY FORUM DiAnn Meyer, City resident, stated that there have been people throwing trash and items in the alleys, including a mattress. She noted that she had spoken with City staff, and nothing has changed. She added that the issue needs to stop because the alleys are getting more cluttered with trash and items. She mentioned she has a list of the addresses that are causing issues. She noted there has been speeding on 2nd Street. Dewayne Morrell, City resident, stated he believed that the mayor deserves the recognition of having an office in the City Hall building. Mayor Márquez Simula mentioned that since she last spoke with Mr. Morrell, there is now a mayor and council office at City Hall. Mr. Morrell mentioned he is trying to track down the 5,000 -6,000 missing brass water meters. He noted that he found out from one installer that they were instructed to drop the brass meters off near the Public Works building. However, the meters are open to theft there. He feels the meters are valued at $7-$10 for scrap. He mentioned that the City should not be giving away that kind of scrap money. He feels that residents are charged twice for the meter and it is made of plastic. He added he does not want plastic on his copper lines because it is loosely bonded and can easily break and cause 11 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 24, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 3 microplastic conditions. He wondered if there could be a different sending unit so that all of the meters did not have to be replaced. Mr. Morrell noted that he was told the City was given liquidated damages due to Waste Management serving the community so poorly. He mentioned that he did not see any credit on his bill and would appreciate knowing what happened to the money, how much it was, and what it is going to be used for to correct the situation.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Ordinances and Resolutions 11. Consideration of Approval of NineNorth Contract and Resolution 2025-33 to Amend the 225 Budget for Cable Equipment. IT Director Hauf stated 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 active production staff once they have started. Despite multiple attempts by City Communications staff to address these concerns with Granicus, production quality has not improved. IT Director Hauf explained that 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 offered 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. 13 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 24, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 5 IT Director Hauf noted 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. 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. IT Director Hauf stated 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 purchase of specified equipment and professional services. Councilmember James asked what the multilingual aspect of the services would look like. IT Director Hauf replied that the multilingual element is provided through th e cablecast services. He explained that a TV would be able to support two languages, which would likely be English and Spanish, while the online version would be able to support multiple languages in the closed captions. Councilmember Deneen expressed her understanding of how difficult the work can be and expressed her appreciation for the IT Department for doing the work to make the quality better and save money for tax payers. Mayor Márquez Simula added her appreciation. Motion by Councilmember Deneen, seconded by Councilmember James, to approve the City Manager entering into a contract with NineNorth for a 3-year term for cable production services. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Deneen, seconded by Councilmember James, to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-33, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Deneen, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to adopt Resolution No. 2025-33 being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights amending the Fund 225 budget to authorize the purchase of equipment and professional services from specified vendors. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. 12. Consideration of Resolution 2024-34 Approving a Rental License Exemption for 3800 3rd Street NE. City Planner Boucher stated on March 13, 2025, the owner of 3800 3rd Street NE, reached out to the Community Development Department in writing to request an exe mption 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. 14 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 24, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 6 City Planner Boucher mentioned 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 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. Mayor Márquez Simula mentioned that the Council saw the note from the homeowners and added her appreciation that the homeowners came to the meeting. She asked staff if the homeowners were asking for the exemption before they moved into compliance for the rental. Community Development Director Forney replied that the homeowners are requesting the exemption before inspections. It would allow the homeowners time to figure out what to do with the rental property. Councilmember Deneen asked the homeowners if there was a plan after a year. Homeowner Norma Alvarado replied that she was unaware of the density cap and is hoping to have some time to figure out what to do. It is likely that the property will be sold. She added that she desires to follow all of the rules and guidance from the City. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember James, to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-034, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember James, to approve Resolution 2025-034, being a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights approving the single-family rental exemption request for the rental application at 3800 3rd Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0.

Mr. Peterson was a previous mayor of the City. Ms. Strand was the recipient of the humanitarian of the year for the City and was a founding member of the Sister City for Poland. She explained that she met with Councilmember Spriggs and an employee of the Salvation Army to discuss unhoused individuals in the City. She noted she hosted a meeting with nonprofit leaders and elected officials to listen to how people are faring with budget cuts from federal and State funds. The State Representatives were unable to attend but they are committed to supporting nonprofits as best as they can. There will be continued conversations since local government cannot provide all of the services that are needed without the work of nonprofits. She stated she attended the Hops for Hunger event for SACA, and volunteered with Every Meal at Valley View Elementary School. She mentioned she attended the board and commission interviews and thanked those who applied. She mentioned Street Cleanup would be on Saturday, April 26th at 9:00 am at the Library. Cheers for Beers will be on Friday, May 16th, from 6:00-9:00 pm at Murzyn Hall. Report of the City Manager Public Works Director Hansen stated the yard waste pickup will begin the first full week of April. The annual flushing program will begin on April 7th and help identify if there are any repairs that are needed in the water main system. The map to see where the flushing will occur is on the City’s website. There is a tree sale for residents, however, there are only a few trees that are available to purchase. Residents can purchase the last remaining trees on the City website or by calling the Public Works Department. He mentioned that there is a monthly newsletter, and residents can sign up through the City website to receive the newsletter. He noted that the business of the year and outstanding citizen of the year awards are coming up. Community members can submit nominations at City Hall or on the City’s website. The nominations close on Monday, March 31 st. Mayor Márquez Simula encouraged the community to submit nominations. 16 Item 1. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 24, 2025 City Council Meeting Page 8 Public Works Director Hansen mentioned that he had worked with Mr. Peterson and Ms. Strand for a number of years. He recalled a memory of Mr. Peterson ending Council meetings by saying, “do a random act of kindness.” Mayor Márquez Simula added that Mr. Peterson would also say, “don’t take yourself too seriously.” ADJOURNMENT Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Spriggs, to adjourn.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Mayor Amáda Márquez Simula Councilmembers Connie Buesgens Rachel James Justice Spriggs Laurel Deneen City Manager Aaron Chirpich City Hall—Shared Vision Room, 3989 Central Ave NE Monday, April 07, 2025 6:00 PM MINUTES CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order by Mayor Márquez Simula at 6:05pm. Present: Mayor Márquez Simula, Councilmember Buesgens, Councilmember Deneen, Councilmember James. Councilmember Spriggs. Also Present: Aaron Chirpich, City Manager; Mitch Forney, Community Development Director; Sara Ion, City Clerk; Jesse Hauff, IT Director; Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director; Joe Kloiber, Finance Director; Dirk Schmitz, Planning Commissioner; Ruth Nelsen, Hill Top City Clerk -Treasurer; Stacey Kvilvang, Ehlers; Chris Bower, MNDOT; Jerry Auge, Anoka County; Tracey Fosmore, Metro Transit: Frank Alarcon, Metro Transit; Tim Lamkin, Bolton and Menk; Kyle Brasser, Lincoln Projects. WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Ice Breaker: What is a skill you would love to learn? Mayor Márquez Simula led the group in an ice breaker. 2. MnDOT Layout Recommendations for Central Avenue. Chris Bower of MNDOT lead a presentation and status update /check in regarding the upcoming Central Avenue project. He clarified the intent of the presentation is to give more in-depth information to stakeholders prior to when there needs to be a vote regarding municipal consent. Bower stated that MNDOT’s recommendation for Central Avenue is single lane in each direction south of 49th. The impactful information from previous work sessions and community engagement meetings was that safety was the top priority. Reducing fatal accidents on Central is why MNDOT is bringing forward the recommendations that are being presented for review and eventually voted on to move the project forward . Bower clarified that MNDOT has also evaluated the impact on travel time. Traffic modeling indicates that there would be an additional 30 seconds of travel time during rush hour if traffic volumes remain consistent. Bower also clarified that there are concerns regarding how road maintenance and bus traffic will be impacted. He indicated that there are considerations regarding how road maintenance would be completed on this stretch of road as there is limited ability to detour traffic. MNDOT attempted to quantify the times that the road would be closed and a detour made to University Avenue. In MDDOT’s estimates it is like that this would be up to six times a year, in addition to any needed utility or maintenance work conducted by the 18 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 2 City. Bower explained that a positive impact on costs related to road closures could be made by purchasing and utilizing digital signage in the corridor to warn of closings and detours. Bower additionally touched on the concern related to in-lane bus stops and the traffic delays that may occur. He clarified that one of the advantages regarding the F line is that there is a reduced amount of time stopping in the travel lane. F line buses take about 7 seconds to onboard riders, and the main line buses would still utilize pull offs so as to not impact traffic. Councilmember Deneen and James were concerned about the number of users who are disabled who use the bus lines in the City and how this would slow down onboarding of passengers and negatively impact traffic. Public Works Director Kevin Hansen stated his concerns relating to left turn lanes and how a single lane in both directions would impact businesses on Central, and force traffic to University Avenue. Additionally, he cited concerns related to the East / West traffic diverting from Central. Director Hansen is concerned about the city and state utility work that would need to be done on this stretch of road, and the increased costs associated with this work because of hiring the contractor who helps the city with road closures . He further clarified that the City must pay for the expense of road closures. Hansen stated that he is still supportive of the North bound lane having a dedicated bus line , or regular driving lane. Frank Alarcon from Metro Transit discussed the investment in the F line project, and needing a north-bound bus lane to make transit more reliable and to attract additional riders. Jerry Auge from Anoka County brought forward concerns related to the state aid rules that need to be followed regarding how much traffic a two-lane road can handle versus a four- lane road. He voiced concerns related to people using side roads instead of Central if the lanes were decreased. Ruth Nelsen from the City of Hilltop stated that the City of Hilltop has concerns related to moving from 4 to 2 lanes as well Councilmember Buesgens stated that she feels that the residents of Columbia Heights should get preference on the design of Central and not commuters. Because of this she is supporting moving to the two-lane option. She is concerned about people using the bus lane to pass if they were to move forward with this option, as well as the increased time to cross the street. She feels that we need to move forward with the two-lane suggestion, although she was also concerned about having a multi-use trail, and that there would not be space for seating on the sidewalk for businesses. Councilmember James stated that what she has heard from the community is that they are concerned about pedestrian safety. She is interested in both the single and multilane 19 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 3 options. She wanted to clarify that the city is still responsible for clearing the pedestrian trail of snow. Bowers wanted to address concerns related to pedestrian safety / signaling. He stated that there are not a lot of great options, and the overall concern is that there is not a way to make pedestrians follow the traffic signals. Bower stated that in moving two lanes they are trying to make the road safer for the pedestrians by slowing down traffic. Bower would like to have an additional conversation at a future meeting to discuss pedestrian crossing locations once there is confirmation on how many lanes Central Avenue will be. Councilmember Spriggs noted that there will likely be frustration with two lane options, but this is something that we need to change the perspective to make this pedestrian friendly. He feels that overall, the more we condense the lanes the slower people are going to travel, and this will positively impact pedestrian safety. He would also like to see some cost analysis related to road closures, and digital signage. Councilmember Deneen stated that she is concerned about the F line and feels that a bus lane would be beneficial. She is concerned that people will be frustrated with the buses blocking traffic and that the traffic will reroute through the neighborhood streets. Mayor Márquez Simula shared the concerns of Councilmember Deneen but stated that she needs to see more information about creating a safer road. She also inquired about the additional rounds of community outreach that will occur before a municipal consent vote. Bowers additionally discussed concerns related to pedestrians at roundabouts. MNDOT will commit to flashing lights at every roundabout, there is a potential for raised cross walks and partnering with State Services for the Blind to find accessibility improvements. MNDOT will commit to also doing education related to roundabouts as well as attending community events to discuss this information. Overall, the council was very satisfied with the proposed roundabouts and asked Bower to bring back further information from MNDOT to streamline the conversation related to two lanes vs. the benefit of a North bound bus line. The council would also like more information on how to make the F Line as successful as possible. The next item reviewed by Bower was the MNDOT recommended a bicycle facility / shared use path. MNDOT would defer to the local agencies on how this would be executed. Councilmember Deneen was interested to learn how a shared use path could be differentiated for pedestrians and bicycles. Bower stated that this is a conversation for the future, and that there are more details that would be needed. 20 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 4 Councilmember James stated that the shared use path would be designed like 37 th and this is the best way to utilize the space. She understands Councilmember Buesgens concerns related to wanting space for sidewalk cafes, but this is an item that would make a two-lane road possible. Bower also addressed options related to closing access to Reservoir Blvd. from Central Ave. at 37th Avenue. Councilmember James stated that she would like more information related to public safety access on Reservoir. The consensus of the Council was to limit northbound traffic, if approved by the Fire Chief. Bower informed the Council that he would like to meet at the monthly work session to continue this conversation for the next several months. He wants to use the time at work session as an opportunity to bring together a plan with the council and address issues brough up during engagement opportunities, so the community feels that they are being listened to. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to have an animation of the ideas that have been brought to the council to demonstrate what has changed after each presentation to the Council to show the work that has been done by MNDOT to incorporate the ideas that were brought forward. 3. Medtronic Site Presentation from Lincoln Avenue Communities. Kyle Brasser with Lincoln Avene Communities started the presentation by giving information and background information regarding the updates that have made to the current proposed site plan. One of the biggest items that they have taken on is discussing a for sale option for townhomes. Brasser explained that they are continuing to negotiate for both market rate apartments and townhomes within the project. Next steps in the process of Lincoln Avenue Communities purchasing the Medtronic site will be related to conducting environmental studies. Councilmember James inquired about the apartments to the north of the project site. She and Councilmember Buesgens feel that it is important to use this space for the townhomes. Additionally, Councilmember James inquired about the mixed-use retail space. Brasser clarified that they would be able to utilize some of this space to the north for market rate townhomes. In an ideal circumstance Lincoln Avenue would build out the space as a pad ready to be built for the town homes because currently they do not have any developers wanting to outright purchase the property. Currently he feels that market rate high density projects are not pushing forward in the current environment, and developers are struggling to enter the phase of this project. He would like to focus on the Stage 1 development plans. 21 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 5 Councilmember Buesgens stated that she would like to see the market rate portions and phases of the project obligations put into writing as a commitment for master development plans. Councilmember Deneen and Spriggs expressed their appreciation to Lincoln Avenue Communities for continuing to work on bringing the plans for this site to fruition. The consensus from the Council was that they appreciated the forward movement and that there is enough to move forward with conversations on the project, noting that there is still a lot of refinement and work to be done regarding tax increment financing for the site. City Manager Chirpich stated that Lincoln Avenue Communities has completed an application for land use that will need to be approved by the Council in the month of June as there is a deadline for bond applications in July. This would give the remainder of the year to complete streamlining the project site. There will be a lot of conversations between now and July. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to make sure that we engage the Cities various boards and commissions related to this project. She stated that this item should be on the next Park and Recreation Commission agenda. Councilmember Deneen inquired about what the process looks like for making assurances in the agreement to protect the city. Councilmember Buesgens stated that there are risks, and she wants to make sure that there are protective provisions in writing. Stacey Kvilvang from Ehlers clarified that she would like to see what the contract will be like so she can further advise the council. She feels that there is a level of confidence in the discussions they are having with partners, and that things are proceeding positively. City Manager Chirpich stated that Staff is of the opinion that we do need to see this plan evolve, to see if it is viable and that Lincoln Avenue Communities will be attending future work sessions as the site plan continues to develop. 4. Franchise Fee’s for Gas and Electric Utilities. City Manager Chirpich introduced and gave an overview of the status of Gas and Electric Utilities Franchise Fees. He stated that currently the City is at a competitive disadvantage, not leveraging this as a option. What is being proposed would be a monthly fee of approximately eight dollars per month across the two utilities. This could be a revenue source of around $700,000 for the City. It is an opportunity to expand our pools of resources, and these funds could be brought in line with the 2026 City Budget. The council consensus was that they want to move forward with this, but to have a focus on getting more information related to how this would impact businesses. Mayor Márquez 22 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 6 Simula and Councilmember Buesgens want to make sure that the council is deciding directly what these fees are being used for. Kvilvang stated that Ehlers would do some modeling of the impacts of franchise fees on business. Additionally, she clarified that cities that are successful in utilizing the fees have a specific policy for the funds to be used. Kvilvang informed the council that there would be a process for passing an Ordinance related to the Franchise Fees and then the Utilities impacted would accept the proposal. This process can take three to six months, and the timeline will be considered as part of the 2026 budget. City Manager Chirpich expects that we will refine and get more information in the next few months on how the council would like to use the funds so it can be implemented for the 2026 budget. 5. Rental Density Cap Discussion. Community Development Director Forney introduced the item and the current status of the Rental Density Cap program. Clarifying that now that we are two years into the program there is a need to further refine the process. The feedback from the council is that they would like a formal policy to be put into place for staff to handle exemptions with an administrative review process and appeals is needed. Additionally, Forney stated that Staff would recommend extending the exemption process period from three months to six months. Councilmember James thanked staff for bringing forward the changes she was hoping to see. She is in favor of all the staff recommendations outlined in the memo. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she would like to see additional movement made with rental licensing and property maintenance as well. Council consensus was to move forward with the Staff recommendations outlined in the council memo. There was also agreement that this would not need to be discussed at another work session, and that going forward staff would place items meeting the criteria for exemption on the consent agenda until the formal policy is approved by the council. 6. Fiber Internet Provider USI. IT Director Jesse Hauf gave an overview of the history of USI and the relationship that has been established by the IT Department since 2023. USI has plans to establish city wide fiber internet and they are offering symmetrical upload / download speeds that meet residents’ expectations. The project will start in the Southeast section of the city as the fiber is being brought in from New Brighton. There will be directional boring that will occur in the right of way, and USI will be directed to stay one to three feet from the curb. USI is also connecting / interconnecting cities facilities at a nominal cost. Additionally there will be discounted plans offered for those meeting income requirements. 23 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 7 Director Hansen stated that Public Works will manage the permitting process. There will be notification sent to the neighborhoods where this work is being conducted and residents that it will be implemented in. Council consensus was that they were excited for USI to begin the process. 7. Review of Jamboree Costs City Manager Chirpich introduced the topic, stating that the council asked for a more detailed explanation of the expenses related to the jamboree and parade. Chirpich stated that there are a lot of benefits to the community, but also substantial costs. The overall analysis is that the city is spending between $55,000 and $65,000 on the event. Mayor Márquez Simula stated that she appreciated the analysis, and that she was concerned related to the human cost of staff working overtime and extra shifts to execute the event. She would like the Lions to share their ledger related to the event in the way that the city has to increase transparency. Councilmember Buesgens stated that she appreciates the transparency of the discussion. She inquired about sponsorship of the event that the Lions Club is utilizing. Councilmember James is curious about billing the Lions club fo r the city staff time and costs related to the beer garden. Director Hansen stated that they do bill back some items to the Lions, but this is related to traffic control. Mayor Márquez Simula would like to see what the cost to the city are for any group to have a similar event with these facilities. 8. Council Corner. Quarterly Council Open House / Town Hall with Residents. Council would like to have an annual open house meeting and quarterly smaller town hall events. Councilmember Spriggs stated that he will do further research and this can be talked about at the Kern goal setting meeting that is coming up at the end of April. Council Liaison of CH Sports Boosters. Councilmember Spriggs stated that the Sports Boosters contribute a lot to the City, and that it might be nice to have a councilmember attend the meetings. It was further discussed that this could be assigned to a Park and Recreation Commissioner to attend. Discuss Desire for Permanent Soccer Field in a City Park. The consensus of the Council is that this is a priority, and that they would like to hire a consultant to see where the most viable location is. This topic will be discussed in greater detail at the upcoming goal setting meeting. 24 Item 2. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES April 07, 2025 City Council Work Session Page 8 Monthly Calendar Sharing, Event Notification, Attendance and Past Event Updates.

Other amendments included are to (2) Establishment and (3) Design Guidelines of the Design Overlay D istricts to read as follows: a. Central Avenue Design District. The Central Business District, extending from 37th to 42nd Avenues, includes a number of historic or architecturally interesting buildings, including the Heights Theatre. Most office and storefront buildings meet the sidewalk while shopping centers and franchise buildings are set back behind parking lots. Architectural styles are diverse, from historic commercial or Mediterranean Revival (the theater) to 20th-century modern. Several off-street ramps help to reduce the need for surface parking. Recent streetscape improvements and developments of the Public Safety building as well as the mixed-use City Hall redevelopment project have enhanced the pedestrian character of this district. This district contains numerous neighborhood-oriented multi-tenant shopping centers including restaurants, personal and professional services, retail, and multi-family developments. Redevelopment of the City’s Public Safety and City Hall has contributed to the character of this district. b. 40th Avenue Design District. Fortieth Avenue has its own character, combining housing with institutions such as City Hall John P. Murzyn Hall, smaller commercial businesses including restaurants, multi-tenant buildings with professional and personal services, as well as housing and places of worship. Commercial buildings tend to be single-story, set back 5 to 10 feet from the sidewalk, and have extremely limited parking options that cause some properties to have legal nonconforming status. Housing is predominantly single-family, although additional townhouse and 31 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 4 multifamily development is envisioned in the Downtown Master Plan (2000). Future redevelopment and reconfiguration of 40th should take into consideration of the parking needs of the existing businesses and seek opportunities to enhance street parking. c. Highway Design District. The Highway District extends along Central Avenue from 42nd Avenue north to the City boundary. This segment has a distinctly different character than the CBD: most buildings are set far back from the street behind large parking lots or along frontage roads. Central Avenue is a six-lane highway through most of this area, and the road width and traffic speeds combine to make the area less pedestrian-friendly. The Highway District has issues related to stormwater quality and quantity that are apparent when there is significant or torrential rainfalls. With these conditions in mind for future redevelopment and reconfiguration of Central Avenue, Complete Streets elements shall be implemented when these are feasible and there are identified conflict points, stormwater issues, areas that are “under-lit”, barriers to pedestrian/bicyclist movements, or referenced in guiding documents such as Complete Streets, ADA Transition Plan, and Safe Streets for All. (3)(c). Support the implementation of city-wide guiding documents and standards. Boucher reviewed the findings of fact. 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: 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 amendments proposed will help achieve more consistency with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The zoning text amendments are in response to recommended best practices from technical staff with SolSmart to support public and private development of renewable energy resources as well as incorporating city-wide guiding documents and consolidating sections of code to be more streamlined and readable. 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. 32 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 5 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 mentioned that staff recommend approval of Draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 1711 amending City Code 9.101 Purpose, 9.103 Definitions, 9.104 Administration and Enforcement, 9.106 General Development Standards, 9.107 Specific Development Standards, 9.109 Residential Districts, 9.110 Commercial Districts, 9.111 Industrial Districts, 9.113 Planned Unit Development District, 9.114 Overlay Districts, and 9.115 Public and Open Space Districts as presented. Questions/Comments from Members: Moses noted what a fabulous job staff have done on the amendments. The amendments are detailed and thorough. Kaiser agreed and added that staff have been proactive. Gianoulis agreed. Public Hearing Opened. There were no public comments. Public Hearing Closed. Motion by Moses, seconded by Gianoulis, to waive the reading of the draft Ordinance amendment No. 1711, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Gianoulis, seconded by Moses, to recommend City Council approve draft Ordinance amendment No. 1711, a Zoning Ordinance Amendment, as presented. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. 3. Discussion on Design Guidelines Introduction: Boucher stated it has long been a priority for the Community Development Department to update the City’s Design Standards Guidelines reflecting the changes that have taken place in the community since the guidelines were established in 2003. There are significant upcoming opportunities including Central Avenue reconfiguration, 40th Avenue NE reconstruction, and implementation of City-wide policies, plans, and ordinances updates such as Complete Streets, Safe Streets for All, tree preservation and replanting standards that should be incorporated into the guidelines. Boucher noted currently, the design guidelines are broken down into three separate districts: 1. The Central Business District, extending from 37th to 42nd Avenues. 2. 40th Avenue Design District, extending from 40th Avenue from University to Central. 33 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 6 3. Highway District, extending along Central Avenue from 42nd Avenue north to the City boundary. Boucher explained the Design Guidelines go into more detail about the three districts, but there has been discussion about whether those descriptions are accurate or if there should be edits to incorporate the development and trends that have occurred over the last 20 years. One item to consider is the establishment of a University Avenue District as this is a portion of the City that has a unique combination of commercial and housing uses along with a frontage road that could be better served by having design guidelines tailored to the needs of those properties. Boucher mentioned other items that should be included in any discussion about updates to the Design Guidelines: • Building Placement • Primary Facades and Roof Treatments • Building Height, Width and Façade Articulation • Transparency: Window and Door Openings • Window and Door Design • Entries • Rear Facades and Entries • Building Materials • Rooftop Equipment • Building Colors and Architectural Detailing • Site Design Guidelines including parking, screening, lighting, landscaping, and site improvements • Signage • Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Forney asked the commissioners for their feedback to identify which businesses off of University Avenue should be used in order to create the guidelines for the district. He mentioned that University Avenue would go through a similar process as Central Avenue and mentioned it would be a good time to create the guidelines before the process begins. Questions/Comments from Members: Kaiser mentioned one of the challenges with University Avenue is that there is such much that could be redesigned and there are not many properties that showcase what that could be. Moses asked if the guidelines would include how the roadways are being done too. Boucher replied that the guidelines would be more towards the buildings and the site development. He mentioned that anything that he would like to include in any design guidelines updates are references to complete streets since it has an impact on how the roadways are configured. The complete street guidelines also address trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, and pedestrian access. Moses asked what the design guidelines were for University Avenue currently. Boucher replied that 34 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 7 there are no current design guidelines for University Avenue and they would be subject to whatever the regular zoning code requirements are. There are several separate zoning districts in the area. Staff are considering adding a University Avenue District. Sahnow agreed that University Avenue should be a separate district in the design guidelines since it is a unique district. He agreed with Kaiser that he does not have a parcel in mind on which to base the guidelines. He added that Complete Streets and other resources could be helpful documents when creating the design guidelines. Boucher asked if there were any characteristics that could be noted from University Avenue. Kaiser mentioned he likes that there are areas that have nature and a number of trees. He added that he would like to see standards for that district to call out preservation for what nature remains. He added that there are multi-family parcels which is a great example of “missing middle housing”. He encouraged to use of nature for redevelopment and for screening instead of sound barriers. He added a unique characteristic of University Avenue is the rail infrastructure and how it is of historic importance to the history of Minneapolis. He suggested signage in order to signify that. Gianoulis explained he liked the idea and added that during the planning of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, someone had the idea of using shipping containers as a building structure. He agreed that there should be something to signify the industrial roots in the City. He mentioned it would be welcomed to have a cohesive area since University Avenue currently feels like a hodgepodge. He wondered how people could feel welcomed into Columbia Heights after coming off of 694. He stated his support for making University Avenue its own district. He noted that University Avenue has the fastest speed limit in the City. Moses mentioned Central Avenue flows well and by having University Avenue as its own district it could flow well too. He added he is in support of having it be its own district. Kaiser explained that University Avenue goes through many districts and mentioned that there could be subtle traffic calming measures that could be implemented since the roadway is not just for vehicles, it is also for pedestrians and bikes. He wondered if there could be an opportunity for additional signage to direct people who are going through the corridor to other destinations within the City. Boucher summarized that the commissioners are pointing out characteristics of University Avenue such as the frontage road, acknowledging that it is the street where people travel the fastest, the need for multi-mobile consideration for different land uses, focusing on the railyard and the history in the City, signage, and a public art component. Forney asked if there were any architectural styles that would help mix in the University Avenue corridor. Sahnow replied that it is more volume-related than what kind of roof lines there are. The thing that is missing from the middle missing housing type is that it can serve many purposes such as a higher density use of housing that is needed, and it can serve as a buffer between a transit- oriented highway and the neighborhoods. He stated he could see the corridor being a transition area. He suggested scaling some setbacks so there are not six-story buildings right on the edge. 35 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 8 Kaiser mentioned that the ongoing apartment building north on University Avenue is an example of what the Planning Commission would not want to do. Even though it has a lot of missing middle housing, it looks like it was plopping in with little thought. Moses explained that it would be helpful to have LED environmental Fridley considerations along the corridor and have it as a standard. Boucher noted that there are soil volume requirements now for tree planting. If there are trees that are planted, staff want to ensure that the trees will be able to thrive and produce mature canopies. He added that if the Planning Commission would like more tree plantings, then soil volume should be prioritized instead of just focusing on stand-alone tree plantings. Forney mentioned some of the setbacks have some green space between the building and the frontage road and could be a consideration. Kaiser asked the commissioners if they could think of a frontage road that had some positive design qualities. Sahnow replied that the frontage road is where pedestrian facilities are because they should be separated from the street. Therefore, the frontage road becomes a buffer and transition space. He added that the frontage road is a part of the neighborhood and should be treated as such. Kaiser mentioned he could see a rapid transit down University Avenue. Any sort of design guidelines might want to take into account the BRT style bus stops or traditional suburban bus stops. Boucher noted that a new BRT route would come in 2028. Boucher mentioned that at some point the City adopted the tone of beige for building colors. There is a desire for more vibrancy. He asked the commissioners if districts should follow a specific standard esthetic or loosen the standards and give businesses more flexibility. Sahnow replied he did not know if a defining palette for a district helps create cohesiveness of a district and that it is more about the quality of the building. Moses asked if there were currently regulations on the colors of buildings. Boucher replied that there used to be but the City got rid of it when there was more of a focus on local art. Sahnow recommended striking all references to EFS which is an outdoor insulation and banning it from being in the City. He added that there is talk at the International Building Code level to ban it. He explained that it is horrible for the environment. Gianoulis stated he is in favor of fewer design restrictions and more creativity for businesses. Moses asked if there was any code for buildings that had shiny bright colors and shone into neighbors' buildings. Boucher replied that the business would still be subject to performance standards and referenced the sections on glare. Moses explained that if there are standards in place for those kinds of considerations, then it would be fine to have more flexibility for businesses 36 Item 4. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES February 04, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting Page 9 to design. Forney noted that it was good feedback and staff would put together some language for the University Avenue design guidelines and continue the workshop during the next meeting. Kaiser mentioned that Country Road 96 in Shoreview could be a helpful road to look at since it is similar to University Avenue. OTHER BUSINESS ADJOURNMENT Motion by Moses, seconded by Kaiser, to adjourn the meeting at 6:59 pm. Councilmember Buesgens stated that the BRT is not planned. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.

For questions, please call the library at 763-706-3690. The meeting was called to order in the Library Community Room by Rachelle Waldon at 5:33pm. Members present: Rachelle Waldon; Melanie Magidow; Chris Polley; Carrie Mesrobian; Amina Maameri; Amáda Márquez Simula (City Council Liaison). Members remotely present: N/A. Members absent: N/A. Others present: Renee Dougherty (Library Director); Nick Olberding (Board Secretary). Public present: Theresa Strike. 1. The Meeting Agenda was approved. 2. The Minutes of the January 8, 2025, Library Board Meeting were moved and approved. 3. Review of 2024 Operating Budget: 99.9% of the year and 91.59% of the budget expended; we were able to pay 2024 bills through the first week of February. a. E-Books (42183): Invoiced $10,301 for the period of July-December 2024 (less than anticipated), paid today to be applied to the 2024 budget. Community Forum: Opportunity for public input. No correspondence and no public in attendance. The CHPL website now has a contact form to submit questions or concerns: https://chplmn.org/board New Business: 4. Anoka County Library goes Fine-Free: As of January 1st, Anoka County has joined us in eliminating late fees for patrons (lost/damaged material fees still apply); all MELSA libraries are now fine free. Columbia Heights has been fine-free for several years now and even though we promoted it at the time, some patrons likely still don’t know; we hope anyone unaware will find out through ACL’s current promotional campaign reach. 5. Upcoming Spring Programs and Events: Renee shared some upcoming events with the Board: a. Arabic Storytime: With Amina’s help one session occurred in January, with another coming up on February 15th. All involved believe it succeeded in being a welcoming environment where attendees felt comfortable to be involved and communicate freely in Arabic. b. Evening Storytime: The first session landed in a stretch of very cold days, so attendance was low, but we will continue the evening storytime to provide an option for working families to attend. c. Ancestral Connections: MN Arts Board 2024 Creative Individuals grant recipient Nyttu Chongo is holding 3 sessions here. He creates a meditative space with the music of traditional African instruments to allow exploration of self, identity, and the past. Join one or all sessions. Amáda attended the first one and said that she did experience a feeling of warmth and connection! d. Pet Beds (with HeightsNEXT): Saturday, February 8, is the annual Pet Bed assembly event with finished beds being donated to Midwest Animal Rescue & Services; this is a popular event that generally produces between 80-120 hand-tied fleece pet beds of varying sizes (using donated and discarded stuffing and fabric) for the local animal shelter. There has been interest in more events, but additional shelters would need to participate because MARS cannot handle more beds than this event provides. e. Puzzle Contest & Exchange: On Saturday, March 8, from 10am-Noon the library will host another team Puzzle Contest (teams of 2-4 must register to participate), but this one will be followed by a puzzle swap in which people may bring puzzles to trade with other attendees (puzzles must be 300+ pieces and in good condition). Also of note, HeightsNEXT will be hosting a Puzzle & Board Game Swap on Thursday, February 38 Item 5. 13, at 6:30pm In the lower-lever senior room of Murzyn Hall. 6. MNDOT Central Avenue Open House: Minnesota Department of Transportation presented an update on the progress of the Central Avenue redevelopment project at a community meeting on February 4. MNDOT gave a 15- minute presentation and displayed maps for community feedback. Findings indicate that the road was poorly planned and it’s time to improve the corridor due to above average fatalities; intersections are too far apart, jaywalking is frequent, signals are not adequate, and generally the wide-open design of the road leads to faster traffic than the 30-40mph limits allow. Drivers go with what feels comfortable regardless of the posted speed. MNDOT is assertively seeking community input; all entities along Central have been notified of potential impacts and solicited for their comments/concerns about the impending road reconstruction. Director’s Update: 7. December Board Report: Provided as an FYI. a. Hennepin County Library (Northeast): The nearest HCL library branch (2200 Central Avenue NE) will be closing February 24 for renovation (through late 2025). This may cause an increase in patrons to Columbia Heights from northeast Minneapolis, although material holds from Northeast will be redirected to their Pierre Bottineau, St. Anthony, and Arvonne Fraser locations. 8.

AI-Generated Slop Is Already In Your Public Library (article): Chris Polley sent this article out to the board members for their information. Our Library’s digital collection is provided by Overdrive as part of the MELSA consortium agreement. Currently the Overdrive digital collection available throughout the seven county metro is created through active human curation and selection, rather than an all-or-nothing approach that includes the artificially generated slop referred to in the article. This will be something to keep an eye on, as this type of material can pass off misinformation and disinformation as fact, which can be dangerous. 10. Rotary Club Grant: Amáda informed the Board that the local Rotary club is looking for opportunities to fund youth literacy and education. In the past they would buy dictionaries for school district students, but as physical dictionaries are becoming less utilized, they are open to fresh ideas like youth world language collection funds for the Library or bilingual books for area schools. If interested in pursuing funds for this type of purpose, we should email the Rotary expressing our interest. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:41 pm.

Vice President Attest: Acting Secretary BUSINESS ITEMS 3. ACRED Presentation. Forney introduced Greg Frahm-Gilles from Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED). 41 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 3 As Director of Economic Development for ACRED, Frahm-Gilles explained that economic development is programs, policies, or activities that seek to improve the economic well-being and quality of life for a community. It creates conditions for economic growth and improved quality of life by expanding the capacity of individuals, businesses, and communities to maximize the use of their talents and skills to support innovation, job creation, and private investment. The three main goals and initiatives for ACRED include regionalism, marketing, and readiness. He explained that the cities within Anoka County have different needs and economic opportunities. He noted the importance of working as a region in order to make decisions together and not make decisions that are in contrast with each other. ACRED wants to ensure that they are putting Anoka County in the north metro at the front and center, and to take advantage of marketing for business growth. The timeline of when businesses are making a decision to relocate or expand is getting shorter. He explained that the County wants to be ready if businesses decide to leave so that they can fill vacancies quickly. Mr. Frahm-Gilles reviewed the business support services, which include business advisory services, and financial services. The business advisory services include Anoka County and Open to Business – MCCD, CareerForce, get business “broker ready” – site selection, and navigating government. The financial services include CDFIs, and MN DEED. 17 businesses have been supported year to date. He quoted David Campbell, saying, “Economic development is about properly identifying the roadblocks to business investment and clearing those roadblocks.” He noted some roadblocks include workforce shortages, remote working, rising construction costs, realigning supply chains, and strain on the electric grid. Mr. Frahm-Grilles noted the unemployment rate in Minnesota is 2.7% and Anoka County is at 2.6%. Skilled labor, ample energy, and speed to market are continued priorities. The top three issues are labor costs, quality-of-life, and availability of skilled labor. He mentioned that if the talent of people is in place in a city and there is a quality of life, then businesses will come and make investment decisions. Safe streets, schools, parks, and walkable neighborhoods attract people to certain neighborhoods and develop a talent pool in the community. The top challenges with the workforce are labor shortages, affordable housing, upskilling, childcare, lack of soft skills, global competition, labor management relations, rising income inequality, remote work, and STEM education. Mr. Frahm-Grilles explained that the US-born working age population is shrinking. It is important that immigration policy is supporting businesses since it is a 1 to 1 ratio of US-born workers leaving and immigrants coming into the workforce. He reviewed the Anoka County employment trends and pointed out that manufacturing is the top industry. A large generation in the manufacturing industry is about to retire. He noted that transit is a huge player for goods and services, and being able to get the workforce around. Mr. Frahm-Grilles mentioned that the 2024 industrial lease rate average low is $6.79 and the average high is $11.07 in Anoka County. He explained that it impacts older buildings and how it impacts economic growth. He explained that they are having conversations on how to find opportunities for businesses to start and move into an affordable space, and how to expand the space. 42 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 4 Mr. Frahm-Grilles noted how many buildings are under construction. ACRED went through a strategic process and identified two main detriments as part of the process, which include the organizational structure to ACRED with the cost-share agreement and the financial structure. There was a memorandum of understanding that expired at the beginning of January that outlined all 21 municipalities contributing on a per capita basis. The County board decided to allow the agreement to expire and bring economic development in-house as an Anoka County-funded program. Typically, they would send out an invoice to all of the municipalities on a per capita basis, but this year the City will not receive the invoice. Mr. Frahm-Grilles explained that his job is to support the City and to take the goals and strategies that the City has identified and help bring them to fruition. ACRED has a new organizational structure. The cost-share agreement is expired and there is more of an emphasis on City participation. There is an expanded emphasis through new capacity. He explained that there is more communication and education with cities through presentations to government industry groups, regular economic development newsletters, and empowering City staff. There are working groups that focus on key challenges, and are flexible to meet current needs. Questions/Comments from Members: Márquez-Simula asked if a business should connect with Mr. Frahm-Grilles if they need resources. Mr. Frahm-Grilles replied that on the County side of things, he is the first person to contact. Spriggs asked if ACRED has had difficulty with grants due to what is happening in Washington D.C. Mr. Frahm-Grilles replied that they have not been affected since they do not receive federal funding, but they have a small budget. Dibba asked how businesses could get to know about ACRED. Mr. Frahm-Gilles replied that he has a strong relationship with the community development departments in all 21 cities and makes sure that he is available for the cities to educate and do presentations. He added that he tries to get himself out in the community so that the community knows about the services. Dibba asked Mr. Frahm-Gilles if he does presentations with businesses or just with the cities. Mr. Frahm-Gilles replied that it is typically done through an entity like a Chamber of Commerce, but is happy to do a presentation for community groups like a Rotary or a Lions Club. Deneen asked if Staff could include a link on the City’s website that includes some of the programs offered for prospective business owners or current business owners. Forney replied that the Anoka County Economic Development website is tagged on the City’s website. The Community Development intern is currently identifying ways to better advertise the programs. 4. Commitment of Matching Funds for MHFA Local Housing Trust Fund Grants Program. Voight reported that at the EDA’s February meeting, the Commission directed Staff to prepare an application for the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) Local Housing Trust Fund Grants Program. As explained by Staff during the meeting, this grant program requires the applicant to provide a match of new public revenue. New public revenue is defined as local income that is 43 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 5 committed to the Local Housing Trust Fund on or after June 29, 2021, from any source other than the state or federal government. The dollar amount of the applicant match determines the maximum potential grant award. Voight noted that per the EDA’s guidance, Staff have prepared a resolution to commit $300,000 from Economic Development Authority Redevelopment Fund 408 to the Local Housing Trust Fund for the match. Fund 408 currently holds $510,000. Based on the grant’s program guidelines, the $300K City match could potentially earn a $150K MHFA contribution, plus up to an additional $75K MHFA contribution, for a total MHFA contribution of $225K and a total grant program budget of $525K. In order to fulfill the financial requirements of the grant application, Staff recommend passing the attached Resolution 2025-07. This resolution provides for the commitment of $300,000 from EDA Fund 408 to the Columbia Heights Local Housing Trust Fund. The resolution specifies that this commitment of matching funds is conditioned on award of MHFA grant dollars. Questions/Comments from Members: Spriggs asked when the MHFA would announce which applicants were awarded grants. Voight replied that the tentative time would be between May and June 2025. Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Deneen, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2025-07, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Buesgens, seconded by Deneen, to adopt Resolution No. 2025-07, a Resolution of the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority approving the Local Housing Trust Fund match commitment. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED. RESOLUTION NO. 2025-07 A RESOLUTION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA, APPROVING THE LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND MATCH COMMITMENT BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Commissioners (the “Board”) of the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) as follows: SECTION 1. RECITALS. 1.01. The Minnesota Legislature appropriated funds for the Local Housing Trust Fund Grants Program (the “Program”), which Program is administered through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (“Minnesota Housing”), to incentivize local governments to create or fund local housing trust funds by providing a portion of matching state funds to encourage investment in affordable housing across Minnesota. Entities, including but not limited to cities, who have an existing local housing trust fund are eligible to apply for a grant under the Program. Under the Program, eligible cities may request matching funds for local income that is committed to the local housing trust fund on or after June 29, 2021 from any source other than the state or federal government (“New Public Revenue”). An eligible city may receive matching funds up to 100% of the New Public Revenue committed to the local housing trust fund, up to $150,000, and depending on funding availability, the Program will also match an 44 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 6 amount up to 50% of the New Public Revenue above $150,000 but not more than $300,000. Grant proceeds from the Program may be used for: administrative expenses, up to 10% of the Program grant; grants, loans, and loan guarantees for the development, rehabilitation, or financing of housing; match for other funds from federal, state, or private resources for housing projects; or down payment assistance, rental assistance, and home buyer counseling services. All Program grant proceeds must be used for households at or below 115% of the State Median Income (as defined in the Program Guide for the Program prepared by Minnesota Housing). 1.02. Pursuant to Ordinance 1698, adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (the “City”) on May 28, 2024 (the “Ordinance”), the City established a local housing trust fund (the “Housing Trust Fund”) under Minnesota Statues, Section 462C.16, as amended, and designated the Authority as the administrator of such fund. The Ordinance requires the Housing Trust Fund to be funded, in part, by an annual allocation of funds from the local affordable housing aid received from the Metropolitan Region Sales and Use Tax established pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 297A.9925, as amended, and permits the Housing Trust Fund to be funded by other sources, including but not limited to: donations, bond proceeds; grants and loans from a state, federal, or private source, including the Program; appropriations by a local government; investment earnings of the Housing Trust Fund; and housing and redevelopment authority levies. 1.03. The City has determined to apply to Minnesota Housing for a grant from the Program, and to that end, the Authority has determined that it is in the best interest of the public to commit $300,000 from Economic Development Authority Redevelopment Fund 408 (the “Fund 408”) to the Housing Trust Fund, subject to an award of Program grant proceeds. 1.04. If awarded, Program grant proceeds will be used for projects and programs intended to create, maintain, and support affordable housing in the City for households at or below 115% of the State Median Income, in accordance with the requirements of the Program. SECTION 2. LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND MATCH COMMITMENT APPROVED. 2.01. The Board of the Authority hereby approves a commitment of $300,000 from Fund 408 to the Housing Trust Fund. The commitment approved pursuant to this resolution is conditioned on an award by Minnesota Housing to the City of Program grant proceeds. 2.02. Program grant proceeds shall be used for projects and programs intended to create, maintain, and support affordable housing in the City, and other authorized purposes under the Program. 2.03 The officers, employees and other agents of the Authority are hereby authorized to do all acts and things required of them by or in connection with this resolution and the application for Program grant proceeds, for the full, punctual, and complete performance of all the terms, covenants, and agreements contained in this resolution. ORDER OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 45 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 7 Passed this 3rd day of March, 2025 Offered by: Buesgens Seconded by: Deneen Roll Call: All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED. Vice President Attest: Acting Secretary 5. 4647 Polk Deed Restriction Discussion. Forney stated that earlier this month, Community Development staff were contacted by the owner of 4647 Polk St about removing a deed restriction on their property. The deed restriction was established by the purchase and redevelopment agreement that was executed with the sale of the lot within the EDA’s Single-Family Home Lot Sales Program. The owner is looking to establish a group home on the premises, which is not currently allowed due to the restriction. The 10-year restriction expires on 05/23/2027. Staff let the property owner know that the City has not removed restrictions in the past and that Staff would recommend against removal of the restriction. The owner still wanted to speak before the Council, and as such Staff told them about the community forum and how to contact members of the Council if they wanted to explore addressing the item. The owner submitted the attached email regarding the situation and has worked with Staff to bring this item forward. Forney explained that in 2015 the EDA created the Single-Family Home Lot Sales Program to sell residential lots the EDA had purchased during the 2008-2009 recession. This program sought to redevelop the empty lots the EDA had purchased into single-family homes. Throughout the life of the program, the City purchased 22 properties, demolished the existing homes, and sold the vacant lots to developers. All 22 properties were redeveloped with single-family homes. At the end of the program, the City had spent $2,150,459.61 on the purchase and demolition of the properties, recouping $373,000 from the sales of the lots, resulting in a total program cost of $1,777,459.61. To maintain the EDA’s investment in the properties, the EDA included a deed restriction on the properties. The restriction prohibits the use of the properties as anything other than a single- family, owner-occupied home for 10 years after the property is sold to the developer. This deed restriction travels with all subsequent owners of the property and is recorded in the purchase and redevelopment agreement alongside the deed to the property. Forney mentioned the property in question was previously a single-family home and was purchased by the EDA on 10/23/2008. The EDA expended $81,220 total on the purchase and demolition of the structure. In 2017, the EDA sold the property to Tollberg Homes for $25,000. The developer then worked to build the current single-family home on the lot. The current owner is the original owner of the home and purchased it directly from Tollberg Homes. Regarding next steps, if the EDA decides against the request, the deed restriction will remain in place and will expire on 05/23/2027. At that time, the property owner can utilize the property in accordance with the City’s 46 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 8 current zoning and building code. If the EDA would like to remove the deed restriction, Staff will need to enlist the assistance of the EDA’s legal counsel to review and develop documents, agreements, and a resolution to strike the restriction from the previous agreements and recorded documents. Forney stated that Staff recommend not removing the deed restriction for a variety of reasons. First, Staff have been involved in multiple similar cases in which a homeowner wanted to obtain a rental license but was not allowed. These previous situations have resulted in the owner living in the property until the restriction expires or the owner selling the property. Approving a conditional removal of the restriction would result in unequitable enforcement of the program and its guidelines. The removal process would also cost the EDA staff time and legal fees, diverting resources from current projects. Last, Staff do not recommend removing the restriction as it would act contrary to the previous EDA’s decision and goals set out for the program. Questions/Comments from Members: Szurek asked if the owners had a discussion with the Council yet. Forney replied that the owners prefaced the discussion but had not had a full discussion with the Council yet. Márquez-Simula agreed with the Staff’s recommendation of keeping the restriction on until 2027. Spriggs agreed. He asked if it would be a permitted use in the area. Forney replied that during the 2024 legislative session, the State legislature removed many group homes from requiring a rental license. Szurek asked if the City would get into a situation of people wanting rental licenses for the properties once the restrictions are released in 2027. She added that the previous EDA and Council had wanted to establish residential housing instead of rentals. Forney explained that the restrictions are included in a ten-year contract, so either way in 2027 the restrictions will go away. He added that people would then have the right to rent out the properties, subject to City rental regulations. Szurek stated she was not in favor of that happening to residential homes since there are enough rental homes. Forney noted that the City does not have the ability to stop a group home of six or fewer residents from coming in. The State legislature removed the ability for the City to regulate small group homes. Deneen noted that the City needs to rely on the policies in place. She agreed that the program was put into place for a specific purpose and wants to regain as much as possible through property taxes. She added that there was no family need nor an extenuating circumstance that was indicated by the property owner. She agreed that the deed should remain as-is until 2027. Spriggs asked if there was a specific business that the property owners currently operate, like an assisted living business. Forney replied that they have an established group home business. Spriggs asked if there would be any restrictions if the deed was released. Forney replied that if the deed was released it would be treated like any other single-family home. BUSINESS UPDATES 47 Item 6. City of Columbia Heights MINUTES March 03, 2025 EDA Meeting Page 9 Voight stated the EDA’s St. Paul Area Association of Realtors® grant application received $1,500 from the local chapter. Staff have also been informed that they have been awarded $3,000 more from the national chapter. Community Development staff will be working with the Communications team to use grant funds for multilingual homeowner and renter resources. The City has not yet sent out an official announcement to let people know that the grant has been received. Forney mentioned there is a Columbia Heights and Fridley Business Council meeting that will be held at Fridley’s City Hall on Friday, March 7th, at 8 am. He added that he would send an invite to all of the EDA commissioners. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Spriggs, seconded by Buesgens, to adjourn the meeting at 5:57 pm. All ayes of present. MOTION PASSED.

ITEM: Library Parking Lot: Change Order No. 1 DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen: 4/09/2025 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 X Sustainable BACKGROUND: City staff prepared plans for the bituminous paving of 2 gravel parking lots in 2024 and 2025: the east side of City Hall off 40th Avenue in 2024 and the east side of the Library north of 39th Avenue in 2025. 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, the contract was awarded to Winberg Companies. Last fall Winberg paved the City Hall lot and installed storm sewer at the Library lot. Winberg mobilized for construction this spring on the Library lot. A retaining wall was designed on the north side of the new lot to facilitate the infiltration basin . Following construction staking, it was discovered that there was not enough space to install retaining wall geogrid tiebacks (6-8 feet behind the wall) for stabilization, requiring a different method to support and stabilize the wall in a narrow space. Staff recommended a self-compacting structural backfill of poured concrete without fines added to the concrete mix. This is a solution where traditional geogrid reinforcement isn’t an option because of limited space preventing geogrid installation. A detail is attached. Winberg provided pricing to remove the geogrid and place poured structural backfill concrete behind the wall for vertical support and drainage. Their proposal is attached. Staff have successfully used this method in other locations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 to Winberg Companies in the amount of $27,315. Funding will be provided by the Infrastructure Fund. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 49 Item 7.

ITEM: Residential Water Meter Replacement Program: Change Order No. 1. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / Ben Lund: 4/09/2025 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 X Sustainable BACKGROUND: The City Council approved the Water Meter Replacement Equipment Purchase at their meeting on May 22, 2023. The purchase included 6,000 Sensus iPERL residential water meters with new radios from Core and Main. The Council approved the contract for the installation of those new iPERL water meters and managing the project to Core and Main, with the installation subcontracted out to Hydrocorp. There are 123 non-residential Sensus water meters in our system, ranging in size from 1" to 3", that were not replaced in the 2014 Commercial Meter Replacement Program. Staff requested a proposal from Core and Main to replace these meters and radios. This will bring our water meter system all on the same AMI reading system, improving efficiency and consistency in meter readings. Additionally, it will replace meters that are over 20 years old, which are more prone to failure and may not provide accurate usage data. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff Recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 to Core and Main in the amount of $120,755. With this addition, the revised contract of $870,755 is well under staff’s original cost estimate of $1,000,000 for installation and replaces the remaining non-residential water meters to our current standard. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to approve Change Order No. 1 to Core and Main in the amount of $120,755 for a revised contract amount of $870,755 for the Water Meter Replacement Program, City Project 2409.

ITEM: Authorization for Capital Equipment Replacement of the Public Safety Building Standby Generator. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: City Engineer / April 9, 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 When the Public Safety Building (PSB) was built in 2008, the standby generator was purchased as a used 400KW Generac unit and installed when the building was completed. The generator is now 20 years old and is experiencing worsening mechanical issues including fluid leaks and corrosion. A recent alarm response from the generator was serviced by our mechanics. They found the diesel motor oil leaking / losing oil. The shop supervisor has rated its condition as fair to poor, due to the worsening fluid leaks. We suspect that the significant oversizing of the generator does not allow the d iesel motor to be exercised at its rated load, contributing to its mechanical issues. Upon review of the facility’s electrical demand, we calculated that the proper size generator is 200KW, or half the existing unit. Due to age, its poor mechanical condition, and unit oversizing, staff recommends replacement with a 200KW unit. The existing transfer switch, for the connection with the building systems, can be reused. As the primary Emergency Operations Center or EOC, it is critical that the facility have a dependable and reliable source of backup power when needed. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Staff obtained pricing from the national purchasing contract, Sourcewell, for one new 200 KW Onan Cummings generator, including delivery to the site. The local distribution facility in Fridley has indicated an estimated 22- week lead time. The Police operations budget will have sufficient funding for the generator. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Move to authorize the replacement of the existing Public Safety Building 400KW generator, with one (1) new Onan Cummins Diesel 200KW Generator from Cummins of Fridley off the Sourcewell Purchasing Contract No. 18251. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 56 Item 9. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to authorize the replacement of the existing Public Safety Building 400KW generator, with one (1) new Onan Cummins Diesel 200KW Generator from Cummins of Fridley off the Sourcewell National Purchasing Contract No. 18251, in the amount of $87,500 plus tax, with funding from Fund 101-42100- 5180, and dispose of existing Generac Unit by trade-in or auction.

ITEM: Capital Equipment Purchase of Perkins 6-Yard HD Satellite Mounted Hopper Unit. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Streets/Parks Superintendent / April 8, 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 Public Works is responsible for the collection and disposal of over 187 trash and recycling receptacles located throughout city parks and public spaces. Currently, trash collection is a labor-intensive operation requiring two staff members to manually remove 3-mil plastic garbage bags from receptacles, tie them, and load them onto a pickup truck. Once the truck is full, staff must return to Public Works and manually transfer the bags into a dumpster. This process poses various safety and health concerns , including exposure to unknown substances, potential needle sticks, overfilled or ripped bags, and risk of back injuries from lifting heavy loads. To improve safety and efficiency, Public Works previously purchased a 2 -cubic-yard hopper installed on a mini truck. This equipment has significantly improved operations, especially in hard -to-reach areas. Building on this success, Public Works now seeks to expand its capacity with a larger 6 -yard hopper that can be mounted to an existing pickup truck. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS A Perkins SAT 6 Cubic Yard HD Satellite Mounted Hopper has been identified as the appropriate equipment to meet current operational needs. Alternate price quotes were obtained in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Policy. The equipment will be installed on an existing Public Works pickup truck, further maximizing existing resources. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the purchase of a Perkins SAT 6 Cubic Yard HD Satellite Mounted Hopper unit from Perkins Manufacturing $35,022.80, in accordance with the City’s procurement policy for purchases sourced through alternate price quotes. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 62 Item 10. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to authorize the purchase of a Perkins 6-yard HD Satellite Mounted Hopper unit from Perkins Manufacturing, located in Bolingbrook Illinois for a total of $35,022.80, with funding provided by City Fund 431.3121.45150 ATTACHMENT(S): 63 Item 10. ITEM: Consideration of Rental License Exemptions Extensions for the Following Properties: 1122 40th Avenue NE 1234 44th Avenue NE 3912 Tyler Street NE DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner, April 9, 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 December 18, 2024, Eric Gentry and Scott Fergus of Brick by Brick – B3 (CAG Minnesota Fund II, LLC), reached out to the Community Development Department . In September 2024, the applicant took ownership of ten single-family properties in the City of Columbia Heights through a bulk acquisition of 345 vacant and occupied single family residential properties in the seven county Metro region from a national private equity fund that was facing legal action from the Minnesota Attorney General. CEO – Scott Fergus describes Brick by Brick Training and Development as a non-profit corporation with offices in Minneapolis and a mission to increase affordable housing as a means to build generational wealth for area residents with an emphasis on families at or below area median income, marginalized communities, and first- generation homebuyers. B3, the non-profit corporation, built a coalition of local partners, banks, and community land trusts to preserve vacant properties and create affordable homeowner ship opportunities. The organization focuses on connecting tenants to homeownership by selling properties that become voluntarily vacant as affordable owner-occupied housing and not re-leasing these. Mr. Fergus also states that one of the key outcomes des ired is that none of the tenants are displaced as most of the tenants have been on month-to-month leases that were provided by the prior landlord. The company seeks to offer annual leases to tenants if desired to provide additional stability in their housi ng choice and time to work towards a shared goal of homeownership. Exemptions for four properties were previously approved at the January 13, 2025 City Council Meeting with a three-month period to complete the licensing process and so far, the 1426 Parkview Ln NE property has completed the temporary licensing process, but the others are in the process of finishing their Community Development inspection. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT AGENDA MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 64 Item 11. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 The other three properties requiring extensions of the exemptions are addressed as: 1. 1122 40th Avenue NE (Block #226: allotted four rentals and there are eight existing rentals) 2. 1234 44th Avenue NE (Block #200: allotted seven rentals and there are 12 existing rentals) 3. 3912 Tyler Street NE (Block #229: allotted five rentals and there are seven existing rentals) 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. 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 2025-036 (1122 40th Avenue NE, 1234 44th Avenue NE, and 3912 Tyler Street NE) would grant temporary rental license exemptions to the homeowner with a few additional requirements. The homeowner is required to complete the license application process within 6 months from the passage of the resolution. This puts a limit on how long they can take to bring the houses 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. Prior to the end of 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend approving Resolution 2025-036, a resolution approving the single-family rental density exemption requests for the rental applications for the properties described below: 1. 1122 40th Avenue NE 2. 1234 44th Avenue NE 3. 3912 Tyler Street NE RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-036, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2025-036, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption request for the rental applications at 1122 40th Avenue NE, 1234 44th Avenue NE, and 3912 Tyler Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.

City Council Resolution 2025-036 RESOLUTION NO. 2025-036 A RESOLUTION APPROVING SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL EXEMPTION REQUESTS FOR THE RENTAL APPLICATIONS AT 1122 40th AVENUE NE, 1234 44TH AVENUE NE, AND 3912 TYLER STREET NE, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MN 55421 BE IT RESOLVED BY the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Columba Heights, Minnesota (the “City”) as follows: On August 14, 2023, the Council approved ordinance 1685 which established a rental density limit for detached single-family rental dwellings by splitting the city into blocks and capping the number of rentals per that block; and Ordinance 1685 establishes that applicants that are not allowed to obtain a single-family rental 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, The City has received a request from the owner of 1122 40th Avenue NE, 1234 44th Avenue NE, and 3912 Tyler Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 to make an exception for the property and allow a new rental license to be issued. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City does hereby approve the exemption request for 1122 40th Avenue NE, 1234 44th Avenue NE, and 3912 Tyler 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 1122 40th Avenue NE, 1234 44th Avenue NE, and 3912 Tyler Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 must apply for and complete the licensing process, to receive the temporary license, within 6 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 same property. 66 Item 11.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance No. 1712, an Ordinance to amend Chapter 3 Administrative Code: Article V – Administrative Offenses DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner, April 9, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) X 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 Over the last year, City Council and staff have taken a series of actions related to the development of an Administrative Citation ordinance. Minnesota Statute 462.362 – Enforcement and Penalty enables a municipality to, by ordinance, provide for the enforcement of ordinances or regulations adopted; Chapter 6 – Administration of City Affairs in the City Charter explicitly states that the City Manager has the authority to prepare and submit to the Council for adoption an administrative code incorporating the details of administrative procedure and suggest amendments to the same. The Fire Chief and City Attorney identified conflicting language in the current city code Chapter 3 – Administrative Code, 3.507 Failures to Pay and Recovery of Civil Penalties section of code contains the potential penalties for failure to pay and late fees. The existing code for 3.507(D)(1) reads as: “If after 30 days the fine has not been paid or a hearing requested, a late fee will be applied, the total bill will be assessed to the property taxes and all city licenses will be revoked” which is in conflict with how (E) is written stating that “failure to pay a fine or any associated late fees are grounds for suspending or revoking a license related to the violation”. Staff proposes amending the existing ordinance, Chapter 3 – Administrative Code: Article V – Administrative Offenses with the following amendment: 1. Amending 3.507(D)(1) to change the language from “all city licenses will be revoked” to be consistent with the language in (E). The language in 3.507(D)(1) shall read as: “If after 30 days the fine has not been paid or a hearing requested, a late fee will be applied, the total bill will be assessed to the property taxes. Failure to pay a fine or any associated late fees are grounds for suspending or revoking a license related to the violation.” 122 Item 15. Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1712, on first consideration: RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1712, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance 17 12, being an ordinance to amend Chapter 3 Administrative Code, Article V – Administrative Offenses in the City of Columbia Heights for April 28, 2025 at approximately 6:00pm. ATTACHMENT(S): Draft Ordinance No. 1712 123 Item 15. Ordinance No.1712 ORDINANCE NO. 1712 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3: ADMINISTRATIVE CODE, ARTICLE V – ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES OF THE CITY CODE OF 2005 TO AMEND: The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1 § 3.507 FAILURE TO PAY AND RECOVERY OF CIVIL PENALTIES. If a violator fails to pay the penalty imposed by this article, the matter may be processed as a code violation through the Anoka County Court System or in accordance with the provisions of this section. (D) Late fees/charges. 1. If after 30 days the fine has not been paid or a hearing requested, a late fee will be applied, the total bill will be assessed to the property taxes. and all city licenses will be revoked. Failure to pay a fine or any associated late fees are grounds for suspending or revoking a license related to the violation. Fees are established by the city’s fee schedule. For continued violations, the city will correct or abate the violation and assess the charges for doing so onto the property taxes and/or file criminal charges. 2. If the same property and property owner are charged with a subsequent violation(s) within a 12-month period for the same, or substantially similar offense, the offense will be considered a repeat violation and fined accordingly, per the city’s fee schedule. (E) License revocation or suspension. Failure to pay a fine or any associated late fees are grounds for suspending or revoking a license related to the violation. 124 Item 15.

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 572 38th Avenue NE DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Andrew Boucher, City Planner, April 9, 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 26, 2025, the owner of 572 38th Avenue NE submitted a written request to the Community Development Department seeking an exemption from the City’s single-family rental density cap. The property owner also owns two additional properties in Columbia Heights. One of those properties—3800 3rd Street NE—was posted "Unlawful to Occupy" by the Fire Department after it was determined to be operating as an illegal rental. That situation-initiated discussions with the City about licensing, and ultimately the Council granted an exemption for the 3800 3rd Street NE property at its March 24, 2025 meeting. The property at 572 38th Avenue NE is located within Block 139, which includes 20 single-family homes. The block currently has two licensed single-family rentals, which meets the block’s rental allotment. A copy of the exemption request is attached to this report. At the April 7, 2025, Council Worksession, staff presented potential amendments to the Rental Density Cap ordinance. While these changes have not yet been adopted, it is useful to understand how this exemption would be evaluated under the proposed revisions. Under the draft policy, this request would not qualify for an exemption, and the applicant would be notified of the denial. Should the applicant choose to appeal, staff would provide guidance on the appeal process. In such a scenario, staff would bring the appeal to the council and recommend denial based on the following considerations: 1. The applicant owns three properties in Columbia Heights, two of which are investment properties. 2. The applicant previously received an exemption for 3800 3rd Street NE by demonstrating exigent circumstances; no such circumstances have been presented for 572 38th Avenue NE, aside from the intent to use it as a rental. 3. The applicant currently resides in a property that is eligible for a permanent rental license but is instead seeking a license for a different property. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 126 Item 16. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 This section is informational, and the process described has no bearing on the current request but informs the councils future discussion. If approved, Resolution 2025-038 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 6 months from the passage of the resolution. This sets a limit on how long it 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 with the ability to rent the home for a full one- year lease. After the term of the temporary license, the people requesting a temporary license must make an annual application to the City. No property owner shall hold a temporary ren tal license for the same property for more than two consecutive years. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-038, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to deny Resolution 2025-038, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption request for the rental application at 572 38th Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.

The property is located on Block 64 with two (2) single family rentals out of 23 total single-family units and an allotment of two (2) single family rentals. The applicant is requesting permission to rent out their home as a source of income during retirement. With their children grown and starting families of their own, the couple hoped to support their retirement through rental income but were surprised to learn it may not be allowed. They emphasize their need for financial stability, especially given Zoila’s past battle with breast cancer, and ask the City to consider their request. Attached is the application that staff received. At the April 7, 2025, Council Worksession, staff presented potential amendments to the Rental Density Cap ordinance. While these changes have not yet been adopted, it is useful to understand how this exemption would be evaluated under the proposed revisions. Under the draft policy, this request would not qualify for an exemption, and the applicant would be notified of the denial. Should the applicant choose to appeal, staff would provide guidance on the appeal process. In such a scenario, staff would bring the appeal to the council and recommend denial based on the following considerations: 1. The applicant has not proven exigent circumstances other than they are moving away from the community and intended to rent the property for retirement income. This section is informational, and the process described has no bearing on the current request but informs the councils future discussion. If approved, Resolution 2025-037 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 6 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 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION MEETING DATE APRIL 14, 2025 132 Item 17.

DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 4-10-25 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: _Healthy and Safe Community _Equitable, Diverse, Inclusive, and Friendly _Trusted and Engaged Leadership XThriving and Vibrant Destination Community _Strong Infrastructure and Public Services _Sustainable BACKGROUND At the March 3rd Council Worksession, staff presented a proposal to expand code enforcement efforts within the City of Columbia Heights. As part of an initiative to standardize and strengthen the City’s code enforcement process, staff recommended the creation of a full-time Code Enforcement Inspector position. The addition of this role will centralize enforcement by overseeing both zoning and property maintenance violations, resulting in a more streamlined and consistent approach across departments. By proactively identifying and addressing problem areas, the City can reduce its reliance on the current complaint -driven model and move toward more equitable enforcement practices. Additionally, the dedicated staff capacity will allow the department to focus on long-standing legacy issue areas that have historically received inconsistent attention. The position will also facilitate full integration of code enforcement functions into the City’s new Tyler software system—enhancing case management, tracking, communication, and operational efficiency. This position was not included in the original Fiscal Year 2025 Planning & Inspections Fund budget, as adopted. To move forward with hiring, a budget amendment is required. Staff reviewed the anticipated costs and are proposing a $61,600 increase to the Planning & Inspections Fund to support the position’s salary for the remainder of 2025 and initial equipment costs. A breakdown of the proposed budget amendment is provided below: Description: Amount: Salary and benefits $ 56,000 Computer, phone, IT equipment and software $ 4,600 Vehicle related maintenance costs $ 1,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2025-035, authorizing a $56,000 amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025 Planning & Inspections Fund budget. Approval of this resolution will establish the financial foundation necessary for the department to begin the hiring process for the Code Enforcement Inspector position.
