Celebrating Indigenous people on this day brings a moment for education and awareness of the genocide that Indigenous communities endured during the arrival of settler colonialism. Recognizing today's importance allows us to acknowledge the significant contributions of Indigenous people to our city, state, and nation. Indigenous nations in Minnesota continue to face the effects of colonization and continued discrimination against their way of life, language, traditions, and history through the legacy of the Indian Removal Act, Indian boarding school policies, and other policies that infringed on Indigenous rights. The legacy of state and federal policies is visible and present in the crises of Indigenous communities and relatives suffering as unhoused persons or from the opioid epidemic. Indigenous communities are fighting for justice in the historical and present crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. The community of Columbia Heights is called to reflect on and work towards better policies and practices that center around Indigenous experiences and honor Indigenous sovereignty. Columbia Heights is committed to being a race, equity, and inclusion leader and encourages our community to honor Indigenous Peoples' Day by learning about, supporting, and connecting with Indigenous communities and organizations. Now, therefore, I Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia Heights, do hereby proclaim October 13, 2025, as Indigenous Peoples' Day in the City of Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of MN, U.S.A. ____________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor October 14, 2025 7 Item A. PROCLAMATION Breast Cancer Awareness Month: October 2025 Breast cancer remains the most common invasive cancer affecting women across all racial and ethnic groups. Thanks to research, advocacy, and early detection, survival rates continue to improve. In Minnesota, nearly 93 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer now live at least five years beyond diagnosis. Across the nation, more than 168,000 women—and an unknown number of men—are living with metastatic breast cancer, an advanced stage with no current cure. Many continue treatment to extend and improve their quality of life. American Indian and Black women face the highest mortality rates, followed by white women. Black women are more often diagnosed at later stages when treatments are limited or costly. Men, often unaware they can develop breast cancer, are also typically diagnosed later, which worsens outcomes. We must continue working to close these gaps in care and outcomes for all communities. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor survivors, support those in treatment, and remember those we’ve lost. This observance reminds us that awareness, prevention, and compassion save lives. Now, Therefore, I, Amáda Márquez Simula, proclaim October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the City of Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A. I encourage everyone to take charge of their health by scheduling regular mammograms, performing self-exams, and staying informed about early detection. Together, we can continue making progress through knowledge, advocacy, and care for one another. _____________________________ Amáda Márquez Simula, Mayor October 14, 2025 8 Item B.

Last year, over 2,500 incidents were reported to law enforcement entities in Anoka County that involved a domestic partner. Change is possible, and it requires everyone.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION Ordinances and Resolutions 9. Resolution 2025-68 Adopting A Proposed Budget For The Year 2025, Setting The Proposed City Levy, Approving The HRA Levy, Approving A Tax Rate Increase, And Establishing A Budget Hearing Date For Property Taxes Payable In 2025. Presented by Finance Director Joe Kloiber. Finance Director Kloiber stated that six months ago, staff began the internal portion of preparing and compiling the 2026 budget. During the August 25 th meeting, the public portion of the budget process began with the City Manager’s proposed 2026 budget. The document is available on the City’s website. He explained that they are in the Truth and Taxation process. If the Council adopts the Resolution, then Anoka County will prepare the Truth and Taxation statements that get mailed to each property owner in the City. The statement will list what their proposed property tax will be for 2026. He summarized that 2026 results in an average of an 8.2% increase to the local taxpayer. The City will receive a 9.2% increase because of an increase in the fiscal disparities subsidy provided by taxpayers outside of Columbia Heights. Finance Director Kloiber mentioned that a new policy this year is $600,000 proposed as a property tax levy used for street reconstruction. While it will increase taxes in the short term, in the long term, it is a relatively neutral item for the property owner because it would be paid as a special assessment or a tax. The City has some significant expenditures beyond 2026, including the reconstruction of the Public Works Building and the reconstruction of Central Avenue. Instead of having large tax increases in the future, the City will increase taxes slowly so that it is easier for residents and homeowners to gradually prepare and budget for. Councilmember James expressed her excitement about the change to fund street work through general property taxes, so that it is more equitable and more predictable for the City. She added that it will save the City money so that it does not have to administer an expensive program to collect taxes.

The 2025 project is a larger program due to the federal grant received by the City, thanks to the efforts of Representative Omar for an up to $400,000 grant. The grant is an 80/20 split, with the funding for the City’s 20% cost share coming from the sanitary sewer construction fund. Construction is scheduled between late fall of 2025 and early spring of 2026. Motion by Councilmember Spriggs, seconded by Councilmember Buesgens, to accept bids and award the contract for Sanitary Sewer Lining, City Project 2504 -B, to Insituform Technologies based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid in the amount of $439,789.05 with funds to be appropriated from Fund 652.9999.45185.2504, and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Deneen, to adjourn. All Ayes, Motion Carried 5-0. Meeting adjourned at 7:06 pm.

CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL The meeting was called to order by Mayor Márquez Simula at 6:32pm. Present: Mayor Márquez Simula, Councilmember Buesgens, Councilmember Deneen, Councilmember James, Councilmember Spriggs Also Present: Aaron Chirpich, City Manager; Renee Dougherty, Library Director; Jesse Hauf, IT Director; Sara Ion, City Clerk; Erik Johnston, Deputy Police Chief; Joe Kloiber, Finance Director; Matt Markham, Police Chief; Dan O’Brien, Fire Chief; Kristin Peterson, Fire Department Office Supervisor; Rochelle Widmer, City Engineer; Keith Windschitl, Recreation Director; Erik Simonson, Excel Energy. WORK SESSION ITEMS 1. Group Ice Breaker. Mayor Márquez Simula led an ice breaker, asking the group “If you could have another career, what would it be and why?” 2. Franchise Fee Updates. City Manager Aaron Chirpich introduced the topic as well as Erik Simonson from Xcel Energy to discuss the options for setting franchise fees for electricity and gas by ordinance. City Manager Chirpich explained the proposed fee structure based on property classification as well as estimated annual fee generation. Councilmember James clarified with City Manager Chirpich what fund account the franchise fees collected would be allocated to. City Manager Chirpich stated that it was ultimately the council’s decision where to allocate the fees. Based on feedback from the council it is proposed that the fees are used to support the infrastructure and easements in which they operate. For the 2026 budget the funds would be used to support the initial planning for the Municipal Service Center including the architectural plans and engineering work, as well as purchasing the SACA property next to the current public works building. Councilmember James inquired about what the franchise fee would look like if there were two meters at a home (i.e. when there is a meter assigned for an electric car). Erik Simonson with Xcel stated that there would only be one franchise fee assessed per single family household related to electrical meters. 17 Item 2.

Members present: Melanie Magidow; Chris Polley; Olga Herrera; Theresa Strike; Amina Maameri. Members remotely present: Amáda Márquez Simula (City Council Liaison). Members absent: N/A. Others present: Renee Dougherty (Library Director); Nick Olberding (Board Secretary). Public present: N/A. 1. The Agenda was approved as is. 2. The Minutes from August 6, 2025, Library Board Meeting were moved and approved. 3. Review of 2025 Operating Budget: 66.6% of the year completed and 60.4% of the budget expended. a. 44020 (Building Maintenance Contractual Services) will be overspent by the end of the year due to boiler and air conditioning repairs, but the overall budget will remain aligned. 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 Old Business: 4. Staffing Update: An offer was made to Brent Buchanan (currently a Page) for the Library Aide position, and he accepted. He will transition roles soon and do some additional training with Eliza and Farrah (who was most recently the Aide). Just posted today was a part-time Library Page position open externally for the next week. 5. Great North Star Read-Together Planning: This event is coming up soon on Saturday, September 20th. We have registered with the planners as a designated Read-Together location, and sent out press releases to the local newspapers, as well as posting to social media and added the event to the digital signboard rotation. It was agreed that homebase for the event will be in the Community Room and will have some refreshments available there, but once the reading starts people may spread out to wherever they feel comfortable (inside and out). We will try to track attendance and take photos in the hopes of a follow-up news story, the suggestion board will be re- purposed to allow visitors to post their library stories, and Mayor Amáda will say a few words to kick-off the event. Some additional ideas were floated around during the meeting, including creating flyers for posting at local businesses, creating a selfie station with a background and props (and a cart of popular books to pose with), and inviting a food truck or Dairy Queen. In addition to our mayor, we should invite the City Council and other local representatives. Olga and Renee will attend next week’s City Council meeting to make an announcement of the event. New Business: 6. Library Usage: The Board was provided with some graphs of annual data on visitor count, computer use, program count, and circulation totals for 2023-2025. Visitors and computer usage are both up by a significant amount, but circulation is slightly down. The library is the go-to place to get on the internet, as well as the most convenient place to print and make copies. Even with increased outreach we are not sure about the cause of the decrease in material circulation (both physical and digital). 7. Review Proposed Revision to Data Privacy of Library Records Policy: Renee presented a revised policy that 25 Item 4. clarified language and removed portions that were more procedure than policy. The Board weighed in on whether to keep or remove the highlighted text referencing parent/guardian access to a youth account; it was decided to keep it. A MOTION to approve and adopt the revised Data Privacy of Library Records Policy was made, seconded, and approved. Director’s Update: 8. July Board Report: Provided as an FYI. a. Melanie shared that Connecticut state has adopted trigger legislation (to go into effect after enough additional states sign on) meant to nudge publishers toward fair pricing of digital material for libraries. We don’t know all the details, but Minnesota is considering similar legislation. b. We will do a Library tour during our October meeting. 9. Board Books: a.

ITEM: Resolution 2025-80 Amending the 2025 Budget for State Fire Aid Passed Through to the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association DEPARTMENT: Finance BY/DATE: Joseph Kloiber, Finance Director/August 19, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _ Community that Grows with Purpose and Equity _High Quality Public Spaces X Safe, Accessible and Built for Everyone X Engaged, Effective and Forward-Thinking _Resilient and Prosperous Economy _Inclusive and Connected Community BACKGROUND Annually, the City of Columbia Heights receives state fire aid that the State of Minnesota collects as a percentage of fire insurance premiums paid by policy holders. Past City Council action has committed this state fire aid as an annual City contribution to the retirement plan for the City’s paid-on-call firefighters. That retirement plan is administered by the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association. The amount of aid varies each year, generally increasing with price inflation in fire insurance premiums and in some cases, as a greater volume of structures are constructed and insured. When the 2025 budget was adopted, the amount of state fire aid for 2025 was conservatively estimated at $150,000. The actual amount the City received on September 30, 2025, was $187,187.88. The attached resolution increases the 2025 budget to recognize both the additional aid and the related additional contribution passed through to the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association, rounded to the nearest $100 for budgetary reporting. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Until this amendment is incorporated into the budget, th is item, although balanced for revenue and expenditures, will lack a certain transparency in the City’s budgetary reporting. Staff recommends adopting the attached resolution 2025-80 to address this. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025-80, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2025-80, being a resolution amending the 2025 Budget for State Fire Aid Passed Through to the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association. ATTACHMENT(S) Resolution 2025-80 CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE OCTOBER 14, 2025 27 Item 5. RESOLUTION NO. 2025-80 A RESOLUTION ADOPTING CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE 2025 BUDGET On December 9th, 2024, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights adopted Resolution 2024-90 establishing an initial 2025 budget, as required by the city charter and Minnesota statue; and Based upon staff analysis of the actual year-to-date financial activity through September 2025 for State of Minnesota Fire Aid and the related City of Columbia Height’s annual contribution to the Columbia Heights Fire Relief Association, the City Council of the City Columbia Heights has determined that amending the 2025 budget as listed below will improve the matching of existing resources to approved public uses and also improve the transparency thereof. NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with all ordinances and regulations of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights makes the following: ORDER OF COUNCIL IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that : 1. The 2025 General Fund revenue budget is increased by $37,200. 2. The 2025 General Fund expenditure budget is increased by $37,200. Passed this 14th day of October 2025 Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: _________________________________ Mayor Amáda Márquez Simula __________________________________ Sara Ion, City Clerk 28 Item 5. ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2025-81, Amending Resolution 2025-043 Establishing a PUD for 800 53rd Ave NE DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney / October 8, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: X Community that Grows with Purpose and Equity _High Quality Public Spaces _Safe, Accessible and Built for Everyone _Engaged, Effective and Forward-Thinking _Resilient and Prosperous Economy _Inclusive and Connected Community BACKGROUND Following the City Council’s approval of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the resulting easement vacation and impervious surface variance, development staff began negotiations for the project’s development contract. During these negotiations and while outlining the process, staff identified several shortcomings in Resolution 2025 - 043. Staff are now seeking to make administrative amendments to that resolu tion to better reflect the actual development process and more accurately identify the parties involved in the project. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Staff are now seeking to make administrative amendments to that resolution to better reflect the actual development process and more accurately identify the parties involved in the project. More specifically, Resolution 2025-043 established a two-month timeline following approval for completion of the development agreement. However, because this project involves a Master Plan PUD, additional approvals will be required before a full development contract is ready to be executed. Ultimately, the physical development contract will contain detailed terms related to site improvements, public infrastructure, financial securities, construction timelines, and other obligations of both the developer and the City. Since additional approvals are still required before these items can be finalized and included in the agreement, staff are proposing to amend this section of the resolution to align with the requirements of City Code rather than the arbitrary timeline originally stated. This two-month timeline would be reasonable in cases where the PUD and site plan are reviewed simultaneously, as with the 3989 Central and Col projects. However, since the original PUD for this project is proceeding on a different timeline, it is significantly ahead of the other site plans. It would not be practical to finalize the development contract before all aspects of the overall development are determined. In addition, staff are recommending clarification regarding the parties responsible for carrying out the agreement. Both of the proposed amendments are contained within Section 1, “Conditions,” of Resolution 2025 -043. The revised language is proposed as follows: CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT AGENDA MEETING DATE OCTOBER 14, 2025 29 Item 6. “1. The property owner and the City will enter in to a physical development contract governing site improvements and shall be executed by the property owner and developer and with the City within the 60 days after its approval by the City Council and of the PUD approval prior to issuance of a building permit.” STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend approval of Resolution 2025-081, as it better aligns the approval and execution of the physical development contract with the realities of the Medtronic project and its more complex development timeline RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2025 -81, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 2025-81 a resolution amending City Council Resolution 2025-043, amending the conditions of the PUD established for 800 53rd Ave NE . ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

ITEM: Renew Contract with Redpath and Company for Audit of the City’s 2025 Financial Statements at $54,100. DEPARTMENT: Finance BY/DATE: Joseph Kloiber, Fin Dir, October 7, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Community that Grows with Purpose and Equity _High Quality Public Spaces _Safe, Accessible and Built for Everyone X Engaged, Effective and Forward-Thinking _Resilient and Prosperous Economy _Inclusive and Connected Community BACKGROUND The City has used the CPA firm, Redpath and Company, for its annual financial audit for more than 20 years. Beginning with the 2022 audit however, Redpath assigned a new principal, Rebecca Peterson, to the oversee the City of Columbia Heights’ audit. Based on published professional standards, this change is an adequate safeguard against the risk that the familiarity gained through the long relationship might impair the auditor’s objectivity. In other words, the change in leadership gave “fresh eyes” to the audit. Redpath is one of about four area firms that comprise most of the market share of MN municipal audit work. Each of these firms compete for the same pool of eligible staff as their primary operating cost. Consequently, over the long run audit pricing does not vary dramatically from one firm to the next. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS Redpath proposes a 5% fee increase to audit the City’s 2025 financial statements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Given the leadership changes across most city departments beginning in late 2024 and expected through 2026 or 2027, staff strongly recommends the continuity of retaining the same independent auditing firm through this period. This will reduce the risk of undetected errors and omissions inherent with turnover. Staff also estimates the requested 5% increase reflects current labor market pressure for all auditing firms in the region. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Renew Contract with Redpath and Company for Audit of the City’s 2025 Financial Statements at $54,100. ATTACHMENT(S): Redpath and Company Audit Engagement Letter CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION CONSENT MEETING DATE OCTOBER 14, 2025 35 Item 7. 400 Robert Street North, Suite 1600, St. Paul, MN, 55101 651.426.7000 www.redpathcpas.com October 2, 2025 Joe Kloiber City of Columbia Heights 3989 Central Avenue Northeast Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421 This letter agreement defines the terms and objectives of our engagement and the nature and limitations of the services Redpath and Company, LLC will provide to City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota for the year ended December 31, 2025. Audit Scope and Objectives We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information, and the disclosures, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We will not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient appropriate evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following RSI is required by GAAP and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited: • Management’s Discussion and Analysis • Budgetary Comparison Schedules presented as RSI • Schedule of Changes in the Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios • Schedules of Proportionate Share of Net Pension Liability • Schedules of Pension Contributions 36 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 2 We have also been engaged to report on supplementary information other than RSI that accompanies City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS, and we will provide an opinion on it in relation to the financial statements as a whole in a report combined with our auditor’s report on the financial statements: • Combining and Individual Nonmajor Fund Financial Statements and Schedules In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, we will read the following other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. • Introductory Section • Statistical Section The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion about whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP; and report on the fairness of the supplementary information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment of a reasonable user made based on the financial statements. The objectives also include reporting on internal control over financial reporting and compliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and award agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will also issue a report on compliance based on the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statute 6.65. 37 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 3 Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements We will conduct our audit in accordance with GAAS; the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the minimum procedures for auditors as prescribed by Minnesota Statute 6.65, and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We will evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. We will also evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and determine whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the entity. Because the determination of waste and abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to perform specific procedures to detect waste or abuse in financial audits nor do they expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting waste or abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. However, we will inform the appropriate level of management of any material errors, fraudulent financial reporting, or misappropriation of assets that comes to our attention. We will also inform the appropriate level of management of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors. We will also conclude, based on the evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of certain assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected customers, creditors, and financial institutions. We may also request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement. 38 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 4 Audit Procedures – Internal Control We will obtain an understanding of the entity and its environment, including the system of internal control, sufficient to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and to design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Accordingly, we will express no such opinion. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards and Government Auditing Standards. Audit Procedures – Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance, and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities requires that we test whether the entity has complied with certain provisions of Minnesota statutes. Our audit will include such tests of the accounting records and other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. Other Services We will also assist with the following other services based on information provided by you: • preparation of the financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America • preparation of pension related workpapers and journal entries • preparation of OPEB related workpapers and journal entries 39 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 5 These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. We will perform the services in accordance with applicable professional standards. The other services are limited to the services defined above. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities. You agree to assume all management responsibilities for the financial statements and related notes, the other services listed above, and any other nonattest services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with the nonaudit services listed above, that you have reviewed and approved those services prior to the issuance of the financial statements, and that you have accepted responsibility for them. Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Our audit will be conducted on the basis that you acknowledge and understand your responsibility for designing, implementing, establishing, and maintaining effective internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and for evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; following laws and regulations; and ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and all accompanying information in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements. Management is responsible for making drafts of financial statements, all financial records, and related information available to us; for the accuracy and completeness of that information (including information from outside of the general and subsidiary ledgers); and for the evaluation of whether there are any conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months after the financial statements date or shortly thereafter (for example, within an additional three months if currently known). You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, such as records, documentation, identification of all related parties and all related- party relationships and transactions, and other matters; (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit; and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the entity from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about the financial statements; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and other responsibilities required by GAAS and Government Auditing Standards. 40 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 6 Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the written representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements of each opinion unit taken as a whole. You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the entity involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the entity complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants and for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, or grant agreements that we report. You are also responsible for the preparation of the other supplementary information, which we have been engaged to report on, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). You agree to include our report on the supplementary information in any document that contains, and indicates that we have reported on, the supplementary information. You also agree to include the audited financial statements with any presentation of the supplementary information that includes our report thereon or make the audited financial statements readily available to users of the supplementary information no later than the date the supplementary information is issued with our report thereon. Your responsibilities include acknowledging to us in the written representation letter that (1) you are responsible for presentation of the supplementary information in accordance with GAAP; (2) you believe the supplementary information, including its form and content, is fairly presented in accordance with GAAP; (3) the methods of measurement or presentation have not changed from those used in the prior period (or, if they have changed, the reasons for such changes); and (4) you have disclosed to us any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying the measurement or presentation of the supplementary information. With regard to publishing the financial statements on your website, you understand that websites are a means of distributing information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in those sites or to consider the consistency of other information on the website with the original document. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits or other studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Scope and Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies. You are also responsible for providing management’s 41 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 7 views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information. Information Requirements We will provide you with an information request, which outlines the information needed to complete our services. The terms of this engagement, including timing and estimated cost, is directly dependent on the quality and timeliness of the information and data you provide. A lack of information may also cause delays in the timely completion of the engagement. In the event that information cannot be provided, you may incur additional costs if we attempted to generate such information, or we may even be unable to continue the engagement in the absence of such information. It is in your best interest to provide accurate and timely information. Engagement Administration, Fees and Other We understand that your employees will prepare all cash, accounts receivable, or other confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. We will schedule the engagement based in part on deadlines, working conditions, and the availability of your key personnel. We will plan the engagement based on the assumption that your personnel will cooperate and provide assistance by performing tasks such as preparing requested schedules, retrieving supporting documents, and preparing confirmations. If, for whatever reason, your personnel are unavailable to provide the necessary assistance in a timely manner, it may substantially increase the work we have to do to complete the engagement within the established deadlines, resulting in an increase in fees over our original fee estimate. Rebecca Petersen is the engagement Director and is responsible for supervising the engagement and signing the report or authorizing another individual to sign it. We will provide copies of our reports to City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota; however, management is responsible for distribution of the reports and the financial statements. Unless restricted by law or regulation, or containing privileged and confidential information, copies of our reports are to be made available for public inspection. The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Redpath and Company and constitutes confidential information. However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available upon request and in a timely manner to oversight agencies, regulators, a federal agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for the purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of Redpath and Company personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend or decide to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. 42 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 8 Unless additional work is requested or required, our fee for these services will be as follows: 2025 Financial audit, including copying and binding of ACFR $49,600 Nonaudit services related to GASB 68 and 75 disclosures/calculations 4,500 Total $54,100 Out-of-pocket costs, such as confirmation and courier fees, will be billed in addition to the fees stated above. We bill our fees monthly as work progresses and expect payment within thirty (30) days. Each invoice includes a detailed description of the services provided. Amounts over thirty (30) days will be considered delinquent. We reserve the right to assess a 1.5% per month service charge on any balance older than thirty (30) days. In the event it becomes necessary to refer this account to an attorney for collection (whether or not suit is commenced), you will be responsible for payment of all reasonable costs of such collections, including reasonable attorney fees. Our policy is to suspend work if your account becomes overdue by sixty (60) days or more, and work will not be resumed until your account is paid in full. Should we elect to discontinue services, you will be responsible for all time and expenses incurred through the date of termination regardless of whether we have issued a report or other final product. The above fees are based on the anticipated scope of services, anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered. The following circumstances may result in a change in scope of services and an increase in fees: • Significant audit adjustments, internal control deficiencies or compliance findings • New accounting standards • Failure to complete the preparation work by the applicable due dates • Inaccurate records • Turnover in your staff • Significant unanticipated or undisclosed transactions, issues, or other such unforeseeable circumstances • Delays causing scheduling changes or disruption of previously scheduled timing of work (fieldwork) • Circumstances requiring revisions to work previously completed or delays in resolution of issues that extend the period of time necessary to complete the audit • Fraud or misuse of public funds Our fees do not include bookkeeping or accounting assistance, preparation of audit workpapers, reconciliations or similar assistance (unless otherwise noted in the sections above).

City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 9 Our fees and rates are adjusted annually for general economic factors. If we are requested or required to provide documents or testimony to support litigation proceedings as a professional service on your behalf (that is, litigation in which we are not a party as a result of our engagement), you will be billed for our time at the current standard rates and all out-of-pocket expenditures, including copying costs and legal fees. Record Keeping Responsibilities The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct requires Redpath and Company, LLC to maintain our independence with regard to certain attestation services provided to City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota. These rules require City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota to take responsibility for all nonattest services. Redpath and Company, LLC cannot serve as custodian for your data in such a way that your data is incomplete and accessible only through Redpath and Company, LLC or the Redpath portal. As such, any financial report, reconciliation, document, and calculation (depreciation schedules, journal entries, etc.) that we prepare or update on your behalf will be sent to you at the completion of each attest or nonattest service. You are responsible for downloading and maintaining these records as well as all supporting documents generated in the normal course of business until the retention period expires. The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the report release date or for any additional period requested by oversight agencies, regulators, or pass-through entities. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency, pass-through entity, or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation. Our firm’s records retention policy will differ considerably from yours. Every entity has different record keeping requirements, because regulations vary by industry, entity structure, the state(s) of operation, and most importantly, the needs to the specific entity. Retention policies are determined by taking into consideration legal, fiscal, operational, and historical values of any given type of record. Confidentiality We may, from time to time and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service providers in serving your account. We may share confidential information about you with these service providers but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information. Accordingly, we maintain internal policies, procedures and safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider. Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by any such third-party service providers. 44 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 10 Privacy We have established policies and procedures obligating our employees and/or contractors with access to personal information to ensure that any non-public, personal information is protected as confidential and in conformance with security practices designed to keep it secure at all times. We maintain appropriate physical, technological and administrative controls to comply with industry standards and applicable law in safeguarding your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction (unless the destruction is according to our records retention schedule). We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not disclose non-public information except as necessary to provide our services (see Confidentiality above) and as required by law. We do not disclose non-public, personal information we receive to our affiliates unless authorized by you, or necessary to provide our services or in the event of an assignment. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution This letter agreement and our services are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and applicable federal laws of the United States of America. In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this letter agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination, or breach hereof, our services, or fees for our engagement (a “Dispute”), City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota and our firm mutually agree to try in good faith to resolve the Dispute through: (i) good faith discussions; and (ii) if not resolved under (i) then, upon the written request of either party, such Dispute may be resolved through mediation by selecting a third-party to help reach an agreement, in accordance with the following paragraph (Mediation). If we are unable to resolve the fee dispute through mediation, then, with the consent of both parties, such disputes may be settled by binding arbitration. We both acknowledge that should a dispute over fees arise that cannot be resolved through mediation, each of us is giving up the right to have the dispute decided in a court of law before a judge or jury. Instead, we are accepting the use of arbitration for resolution. We believe that most disagreements can be resolved to mutual satisfaction in a friendly, non- threatening environment. While we do not expect there to be any problems whatsoever with our relationship, misunderstandings can occur. Therefore, we agree that any Dispute arising under this letter agreement (including the scope, nature and quality of services to be performed by us, our fees or other terms of the engagement) shall be submitted to mediation. A competent and impartial third-party, acceptable to both parties, shall be appointed to mediate, and each disputing party shall pay an equal percentage of the mediator’s fees and expenses. No suit or arbitration proceeding shall be commenced under this letter agreement until at least sixty (60) days after the mediator’s first meeting with the involved parties. If the dispute requires litigation, the court shall be authorized to impose all defense costs against any non-prevailing party found not to have participated in the mediation process in good faith. 45 Item 7. City of Columbia Heights October 2, 2025 Page 11 Non-Solicitation of Employees In recognition of the importance of our employees, it is hereby agreed that City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota will not solicit our employees for employment or enter into an independent contractor arrangement with any individual who is or was an employee of Redpath and Company, LLC for a period of twelve months following the date of the conclusion of this engagement. If City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota violates this non-solicitation clause, City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota agrees to pay Redpath and Company, LLC a fee, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 25% of the hired person’s last annual salary at Redpath and Company, LLC at the time of violation so as to reimburse Redpath and Company, LLC for the costs of hiring and training a replacement. Reporting We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota’s financial statements which will also address other information in accordance with AU-C 720, The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Other Information Included in Annual Reports. Our reports will be addressed to the City Council of City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add a separate section, or add an emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraph to our auditor’s report, or if necessary, withdraw from this engagement. If our opinions are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or issue reports, or we may withdraw from this engagement. We will also provide a report (that does not include an opinion) on internal control related to the financial statements and compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements as required by Government Auditing Standards. The report on internal control and on compliance and other matters will state (1) that the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance, and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control on compliance, and (2) that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. The report will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. If during our audit we become aware that City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota is subject to an audit requirement that is not encompassed in the terms of this engagement, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance that an audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards may not satisfy the relevant legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements. 46 Item 7.

Stat. § 473.848 RESTRICTION ON DISPOSAL. Subdivision 1. Restriction. (a) For the purposes of implementing the waste management policies in section 115A.02 and metropolitan area goals related to landfill abatement established under this chapter, a person may not dispose of unprocessed mixed municipal solid waste generated in the metropolitan area at a waste disposal facility unless the waste disposal facility meets the standards in section 473.849 and: (1) the waste has been certified as unprocessible by a county under subdivision 2; or (2)(i) the waste has been transferred to the disposal facility from a resource recovery facility; (ii) no other resource recovery facility serving the metropolitan area is capable of processing the waste; and (iii) the waste has been certified as unprocessible by the operator of the resource recovery facility under subdivision 3. (b) For purposes of this section, mixed municipal solid waste does not include street sweepings, construction debris, mining waste, foundry sand, and other materials, if they are not capable of being processed by resource recovery as determined by the council. Subd. 2. County certification; office approval. (a) By April 1 of each year, each county shall submit an annual certification report to the office detailing: (1) the quantity of waste generated in the county that was not processed prior to transfer to a disposal facility during the year preceding the report; (2) the reasons the waste was not processed; (3) a strategy for development of techniques to ensure processing of waste including a specific timeline for implementation of those techniques; and (4) any progress made by the county in reducing the amount of unprocessed waste. The report shall be included in the county report required by section 473.803, subdivision 3. (b) The Pollution Control Agency shall approve a county's certification report if it determines that the county is reducing and will continue to reduce the amount of unprocessed waste, based on the report and the county's progress in development and implementation of techniques to reduce the amount of unprocessed waste transferred to disposal facilities. If the Pollution Control Agency does not approve a county's report, it shall negotiate with the county to develop and implement specific techniques to reduce unprocessed waste. If the Pollution Control Agency does not approve two or more consecutive reports from any one county, the Pollution Control Agency shall develop specific reduction techniques that are designed for the particular needs of the county. The county shall implement those techniques by specific dates to be determined by the Pollution Control Agency. Subd. 3. Facility certification. The operator of each resource recovery facility that receives waste from counties in the metropolitan area shall certify as unprocessible each load of mixed municipal solid waste it does not process. Certification must be made to each county that sends its waste to the facility at intervals specified by the county. Certification must include at least the number and size of loads certified as unprocessible and the reasons the waste is unprocessible. Loads certified as unprocessible must include the loads that would otherwise have been processed but were not processed because the facility was not in operation, 79 Item 9. but nothing in this section relieves the operator of its contractual obligations to process mixed municipal solid waste. Subd. 4. Pollution Control Agency report. The Pollution Control Agency shall include, as part of its report to the Environment and Natural Resources Committees of the senate and house of representatives, the Finance Division of the senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, and the house of representatives Committee on Environment and Natural Resources Finance required under section 473.149, an accounting of the quantity of unprocessed waste transferred to disposal facilities, the reasons the waste was not processed, a strategy for reducing the amount of unprocessed waste, and progress made by counties to reduce the amount of unprocessed waste. The Pollution Control Agency may adopt standards for determining when waste is unprocessible and procedures for expediting certification and reporting of unprocessed waste. Subd. 5. Definition. For the purpose of this section, waste is "unprocessed" if it has not, after collection and before disposal, undergone separation of materials for resource recovery through recycling, incineration for energy production, production and use of refuse-derived fuel, composting, or any combination of these processes so that the weight of the waste remaining that must be disposed of in a mixed municipal solid waste disposal facility is not more than 35 percent of the weight before processing, on an annual average.

STATE PROCUREMENT Minn. Stat. § 16C.05 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT; VALIDITY AND REVIEW. Subdivision 1. Agency cooperation and delegation. Agencies shall fully cooperate with the commissioner in the creation, management, and oversight of state contracts. Authority delegated to agencies shall be exercised in the name of the commissioner and under the commissioner's direct supervision and control. A delegation of duties may include, but is not limited to, allowing individuals within agencies to acquire goods, services, construction, and utilities within dollar limitations and for designated types of acquisitions. Delegation of contract management and review functions must be filed with the secretary of state. The commissioner may withdraw any delegation at the commissioner's sole discretion. The commissioner may require an agency head or subordinate to accept delegated responsibility to procure goods, services, or construction intended for the exclusive use of the agency receiving the delegation. Subd. 2. Creation and validity of contracts. (a) A contract and amendments are not valid and the state is not bound by them and no agency, without the prior written approval of the commissioner granted pursuant to subdivision 2a, may authorize work to begin on them unless: (1) they have first been executed by the head of the agency or a delegate who is a party to the contract; (2) they have been approved by the commissioner; and (3) the accounting system shows an encumbrance for the amount of the contract liability, except as allowed by policy approved by the commissioner and commissioner of management and budget for routine, low-dollar procurements and section 16B.98, subdivision 11. (b) Grants, interagency agreements, purchase orders, work orders, and annual plans need not, in the discretion of the commissioner and attorney general, require the signature of the commissioner and/or the attorney general. A signature is not required for work orders and amendments to work orders related to Department of Transportation contracts. Bond purchase agreements by the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority do not require the approval of the commissioner. (c) Amendments to contracts must entail tasks that are substantially similar to those in the original contract or involve tasks that are so closely related to the original contract that it would be impracticable for a different contractor to perform the work. The commissioner or an agency official to whom the commissioner has delegated contracting authority under section 16C.03, subdivision 16, must determine that an amendment would serve the interest of the state better than a new contract and would cost no more. (d) A record must be kept of all responses to solicitations, including names of bidders and amounts of bids or proposals. A fully executed copy of every contract, amendments to the contract, and performance evaluations relating to the contract must be kept on file at the contracting agency for a time equal to that specified for contract vendors and other parties in subdivision 5. These records are open to public inspection, subject to section 13.591 and other applicable law. (e) The attorney general must periodically review and evaluate a sample of state agency contracts to ensure compliance with laws. 81 Item 9. (f) Before executing a contract or license agreement involving intellectual property developed or acquired by the state, a state agency shall seek review and comment from the attorney general on the terms and conditions of the contract or agreement. Subd. 2a. Emergency authorization. The commissioner may grant an agency approval to authorize work to begin on a contract prior to the full execution of the contract in the event of an emergency as defined in section 16C.10, subdivision 2. Subd. 3. [Repealed by amendment, 2014 c 196 art 2 s 4] Subd. 4. Contract administration. A contracting agency shall diligently administer and monitor any contract it has entered into. The commissioner may require an agency to report to the commissioner at any time on the status of any contracts to which the agency is a party. Subd. 5. Subject to audit. A contract or any pass-through disbursement of public funds to a vendor of goods or services or a grantee made by or under the supervision of the commissioner or any county or unit of local government must include, expressed or implied, an audit clause that provides that the books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the vendor or other party, that are relevant to the contract or transaction, are subject to examination by the contracting agency and either the legislative auditor or the state auditor, as appropriate, for a minimum of six years. If the contracting agency is a local unit of government, and the governing body of the local unit of government requests that the state auditor examine the books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the vendor or other party pursuant to this subdivision, the contracting agency shall be liable for the cost of the examination. If the contracting agency is a local unit of government, and the grantee, vendor, or other party requests that the state auditor examine all books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices related to the contract, the grantee, vendor, or other party that requested the examination shall be liable for the cost of the examination. An agency contract made for purchase, lease, or license of software and data from the state is not required to contain this audit clause. Subd. 6. Authority of attorney general. The attorney general may pursue remedies available by law to avoid the obligation of an agency to pay under a contract or to recover payments made if services performed or goods received under the contract are so unsatisfactory, incomplete, or inconsistent that payment would involve unjust enrichment. The contrary opinion of the contracting agency does not affect the power of the attorney general under this subdivision. Subd. 7. Contracts with Indian tribes and bands. Notwithstanding any other law, an agency may not require an Indian tribe or band to deny its sovereignty as a requirement or condition of a contract with an agency. History: 1994 c 632 art 3 s 33; 1998 c 386 art 1 s 6; 1999 c 86 art 1 s 11; 1999 c 230 s 1; 2000 c 488 art 2 s 1; 1Sp2001 c 8 art 2 s 10; 1Sp2001 c 10 art 2 s 37; 2003 c 130 s 12; 1Sp2003 c 1 art 2 s 48,49; 2004 c 206 s 7; 2007 c 148 art 2 s 35,36; 2009 c 101 art 2 s 109; 2014 c 187 s 3; 2014 c 196 art 1 s 5; art 2 s 4 82 Item 9.

ITEM: 2025 Capital Equipment Replacement: Bobcat UW53. DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Public Works Director / September 8, 2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Community that Grows with Purpose and Equity X High Quality Public Spaces _Safe, Accessible and Built for Everyone _Engaged, Effective and Forward-Thinking _Resilient and Prosperous Economy _Inclusive and Connected Community BACKGROUND Unit #213 is a 1993 Ford Tractor that has served the City for more than 30 years. Its primary uses include supporting Park operations by dragging ballfields during the spring and summer and clearing snow from ice rinks during the winter. Because of its age and mechanical condition, investing further in maintenance would not be a responsible use of city resources. SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS The cab of Unit #213 has previously been patched and welded to address rust and corrosion. Those repairs, completed years ago, are now failing. The unit has also developed a substantial oil leak, and mechanics have determined that repairs would not be cost-effective given its age. Over its service life, Unit #213 has accumulated $34,290.20 in maintenance expenses and has reached the end of its useful life cycle. Replacement parts for this model are increasingly difficult to obtain, further complicating efforts to keep it operational. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend the replacement of Unit #213 with a Bobcat UW53, equipped with a 72" Brushcat mower, 68" angle broom, 72" V-blade snowplow, and a 32x74 snow blower. The total purchase cost is $103,700.00, and the equipment will be purchased through the State Contract program. Unit #213 will either be traded in as part of the purchase of its replacement, sold at auction, or repurposed within city departments.

Since the EDA tax levy is under the administration of the City Council, the City must annually approve the EDA tax levy. At the September 8th City Council Meeting the City council started the public hearing process via passage of Resolution 2025-70. Resolution 2025-70 acknowledged the EDA’s request, established the required petition period, and set a date for the public hearing regarding the levy increase. The EDA has requested the levy to cover an increase in administration costs and to add additional funds to its current and future initiatives. Since the EDA levy is a City tax levy the increase is added onto the city’s overall budget. These additional funds will be utilized by the EDA in 2025 to directly invest in economic and housing development projects throughout the city. Contributing to the direct reinvestment of the funds into the city.. Resolution 2025-079 is the final step in the approval of the EDA’s levy increase. Residents still have until November 13th to petition against the increase, but after November 13th the EDA levy increase will be approved and included into the City’s budget.

ITEM: First Reading of Ordinances 1721 and 1722, Ordinances Implementing Gas and Electric Service Franchise Fees in the City of Columbia Heights. DEPARTMENT: Administration BY/DATE: City Manager – 10/09/2025 CORE CITY STRATEGIES: (please indicate areas that apply by adding an “X” in front of the selected text below) _Community that Grows with Purpose and Equity X High Quality Public Spaces _Safe, Accessible and Built for Everyone X Engaged, Effective and Forward-Thinking _Resilient and Prosperous Economy _Inclusive and Connected Community BACKGROUND The City currently allows gas and electric utility companies to use public rights-of-way (streets, sidewalks, and other public property) to install and maintain infrastructure such as pipelines, powe r lines, and substations. In exchange for using this public property, many cities charge franchise fees to ensure that utility providers contribute to the maintenance and development of the public infrastructure they rely on. Historically, the City has not levied franchise fees on gas and electric utility companies, which has resulted in a missed opportunity to generate revenue for local projects and services. The imposition of franchise fees for these utilities has become standard practice for several cities of similar size and structure to Columbia Heights, leaving the City at a competitive disadvantage. The City does currently levy franchise fees to the cable service provider Comcast. However, these fees are steadily decreasing due to lower subscription rates year over year for cable service in the City. Franchise fees can be derived in a few ways. The most common form of fee is the monthly flat fee. Often municipalities prefer the flat fee as both the most transparent optio n for the account holder and the most predictable revenue source for City. Included in the attachments, is a memo outlining the various fees being charged in cities across the seven-county metropolitan service area. Much like property taxes, different fees are assigned to each type of property classification; residential, commercial and industrial. As evidenced in the attached memo, utility companies are accustomed to franchise fees as a standard part of doing business in urban areas. In most cases, the full fee is passed onto consumers as part of their service fees and is often identified as “City Fee” on the customer's monthly statement. SUMMARY AND CURRENT STATUS The Council first reviewed the concept of gas and electric franchise fees at the April 2025 work session. At the April work session, the Council expressed support for the implementation of the fees and directed staff to refine revenue estimates and take the next steps toward fee enactment as part of the 2026 budget preparation process. CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA SECTION PUBLIC HEARINGS MEETING DATE OCTOBER 14, 2025 177 Item 15. City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2 Following the April work session, staff worked with CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, and Ehlers to further refine a proposed fee structure for both utilities. Following receipt of all account information available to the City from both utilities, staff presented a proposed fee structure to the Council at the October 2025 work session. The fee structure presented by staff was representative of the median fees being collected in the metropolitan service area by other cities. The median fees and corresponding cost to the individual customer for the top four property classifications are outlined in the table below. User Type Monthly Flat Fee Fee X 2 Utilities Annual Payment Residential $4.00 $8.00 $96.00 C&I (tier 1) $6.00 $12.00 $144.00 C&I (tier 2) $28.00 $56.00 $672.00 C&I (tier3) $112.00 $224.00 $2,688.00 When the median fee approach is applied to the total number of users in each classification within the City, there is the potential to generate approximately $1,137,000 annually between both utilities. During the October work session, staff discussed recommended uses of the funds and suggested that the City apply the funds generated in 2026 to support the redevelopment of the City’s municipal service center. The Council was agreeable with this approach. The future use of franchise fees is subject to change and direction from the Council. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The implementation of franchise fees for gas and electric utility providers represents an opportunity for the City to expand its available pool of resources and remain competitive within the region. Staff recommend approval of the ordinances as presented on first consideration and request that the Council set the second reading for both ordinances to take place at the October 27 th regular Council meeting. RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): MOTION: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance 1721 and Ordinance 1722, there being ample copies available to the public. MOTION: Move set the second reading of Ordinance 1721 being an ordinance implementing gas energy franchise fee on CenterPoint Energy Minnesota Gas, its successors and assigns, for providing services within the City of Columbia Heights for October 27, 2025, at approximately 6:00 p.m. MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance 1722 bein g an ordinance implementing electric service franchise fee on Northern States Power Company, its successors and assigns for providing electrical service within the City of Columbia Heights for October 27, 2025, at approximately 6:00 p.m. ATTACHMENT(S)  Ehler’s Memo  Ordinance 1721  Ordinance 1722 178 Item 15. MEMORANDUM TO: Aaron Chirpich, City Manager Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director FROM: Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers DATE: April 7, 2025 SUBJECT: Franchise Fees for Electric and Gas Utilities Recently, the City Council and staff expressed an interest in exploring a Franchise Fee (the “Fee”) to support capital projects and similar needs for the City of Columbia Heights (the “City”). Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 216B.36, a municipality may require a public utility to obtain a license, permit or franchise to operate on public property. Under this statutory authority, the City may also require public utilities to operate under certain regulations or terms, including the payment of a Fee. Most often, municipalities craft these arrangements as contracts, which the City Council then adopts as an ordinance. Generally, these franchises apply to electric and gas utility providers. The Fee itself may take different forms, most notably as 1) a flat monthly fee (most common), 2) a percentage of revenues, or 3) an amount per production unit (e.g., therm, kilowatt hour). Often municipalities prefer the flat fee as both the most transparent option for the account holder and the most predictable revenue source for City. Generally, the Fee applies to all public utility users, including tax-exempt properties, and the City may use the revenues for any public purpose. Many cities use the fees to pay for roads, park improvements or improvements to city facilities. The public utility will pass the Fee along to ratepayers directly, usually labeled on their bill as “City Fee.” Many metropolitan communities have a Fee in place (see listing by fee at the end of the memo), with the statistical data below: If the City Council decides to continue the discussion, Ehlers and City staff can work to determine accounts by type, options for fees to charge to meet the City’s objectives and financial forecasts.
