Emergency
PROCLAMATION
Autism Acceptance Month: April 2025
In Columbia Heights, we strive to be a city where everyone belongs—where people of
all abilities are recognized, supported, and included. 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

Planning Commission Meeting Page 3
a. Including Roof-mounted solar energy system as a use and including as a specific
development standard that the system “shall comply with applicable state and local
fire codes to ensure emergency access to the roof, provide pathways to specific
areas of the roof, provide areas for smoke ventilation, and provide emergency
egress from the roof.
b. Include Ground-mounted solar energy systems (accessory use) as a use and
including as a specific development standard that “if the area under the system
contains vegetative ground cover such as grass, native planting, and vegetations, or
pollinator habitats as the tilt and spacing allows for precipitation to drain into the
pervious ground cover.”
E. 9.109 Residential Districts, 9.110 Commercial Districts, 9.111 Industrial Districts, and 9.115
Public and Open Space Districts are all amended to remove the permitted, conditional, and
accessory uses and relocate these into a form-based table in 9.106 General Development
Standards (S) Table of Uses.
F. 9.113 Planned Unit Development amended to include “solar, renewable energy systems,
and beneficial electrification” as part of (C) Areas of Flexibility as well as (D) Review

consideration.
G. 9.114 Overlay Districts (D) Design Overlay District is amended to include a reference in (1)
Purpose, supporting the goals of the comprehensive plan, Energy Action Plan, Safe Streets
for All, and the City’s Complete Streets Policy. 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.

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

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.

Meeting ID 271 987 908 772 and passcode T2uo3T8N at the scheduled meeting time. 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

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. Board Books:
a. Carrie: Unnatural Causes (Adam Dalgliesh mystery) P.D. James; The Sapling Cage (YA series) Margaret Killjoy
b. Melanie: Ayesha at Last Uzma Jalaluddin; Wednesdays at the Tower (youth series) Jessica Day George
c. Renee: Guide Me Home (Highway 59 series) Attica Locke
d. Chris: Putin’s Russia: The Rise of a Dictator (graphic novel) Darryl Cunningham; Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat
(2024) Johan Grimonprez (streaming on Kanopy)
e. Rachelle: 1984 George Orwell; Where the Library Hides (Secrets of the Nile series) Isabel Ibañez
f. Amáda: North Country: The Making of Minnesota Mary Lethert Wingerd
g. Nick: The Body Stephen King
h. Amina: IF I MUST DIE: Poetry and Prose Refaat Alareer
i. Theresa: Sunbringer (Fallen Gods series) Hannah Kaner; Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England Ian
Mortimer; That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America Amanda Jones; Northanger Abbey Jane
Austen
9. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.”

ITEM: Consideration of a Rental License Exemption for 572 38th Avenue NE

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 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-038
A RESOLUTION APPROVING SINGLE FAMILY RENTAL EXEMPTION REQUEST FOR THE RENTAL APPLICATION
AT 572 38TH AVENUE 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 caping 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 572 38th Avenue 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 572 38th Avenue
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 572 38th Avenue 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.

BACKGROUND
On April 9, 2025, the owner of 4942 7th Street NE, reached out to the Community Development Department in
writing to request an exemption from the single-family rental density cap. 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

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 l icense 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.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-037, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2025-037, a resolution approving the single-family rental exemption
request for the rental application at 4942 7th Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.

Hello,
I hope this email finds you well. My name is Jose Molina and I live with my wife Zoila Molina at 4942 7th st
NE Columbia Heights. We have 4 children who now are all married and have kids of their own. My wife
and I were excited to start a new chapter in our life, retirement. We have our house for which we were
hoping to rent for a source of income and were surprised to learn we are not allowed to. I'm 64 years old
and my wife 65 and battled breast cancer 5 years ago. We just want to rent our home and have a peaceful
retirement and not worry about money. We would like to request if we can rent our home as this would
be a much needed source of income for us. Thank you so much in advance and i hope to hear back from
you soon.

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.
