7a. Submission of a DEED Minnesota Investment Fund Application on Behalf of
MoneyGram. Resolution No. 15-33.
Mr. Hunt explained MoneyGram is expanding local operations at The West End to include
equipment upgrades and office improvements. The $7.7 million expansion is expected to
result in the addition of 86 high paying jobs over the next two years. MoneyGram’s
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Economic Development Authority Minutes December 21, 2015
expansion is eligible for the Minnesota Investment Fund (MIF) program administered by
the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). To receive MIF
funds, businesses must submit an application in coordination with their local government
and must have a Resolution of Support adopted. He explained there is no local fund
matching requirement for MIF applications. The City is applying for a MIF-forgivable
loan of $500,000. If awarded, the loan funds would be directed to the EDA to disburse to
MoneyGram. The EDA would then work with MoneyGram to monitor the number of jobs
created over the next three years and will be responsible for submitting annual reports to
DEED for up to an additional three years. Staff recommends a public hearing and adopting
a Resolution of Support from the EDA.
In reference to the present and next Resolution, Commissioner Sanger asked how much
involvement the City will need to have to audit and verify the required information to
DEED to fulfill the reporting requirements. Mr. Hunt responded that DEED provides the
City with a form to fill out to gather this information. Commissioner Sanger stated the
process is not much work for the City, but the process depends on MoneyGram reporting
the information accurately. Mr. Hunt explained, since the City does not have another way
to gather this information, the process does depend on MoneyGram’s accurate reporting of
the facts.
Commissioner Spano stated, from his previous experience, the State has the auditing
responsibility; therefore, the City is gathering the information but DEED checks the
business. Mr. Hunt noted that the audit is conducted at the conclusion of the approved
length of time, which is three to five years.
President Mavity opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. President Mavity
closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Brausen stated this is a fantastic program that the State offers to assist in
creating 86 high paying jobs in the City, in addition to the capital investments that
MoneyGram would make in return to a property in The West End.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Lindberg, to waive
the reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 15-33, approving a Minnesota Investment
Fund (MIF) application to the Department of Employment and Economic Development
(DEED) on behalf of MoneyGram, a St. Louis Park company.
Commissioner Spano stated former DEED Commissioner, Dan McElroy, could clarify the
reporting responsibilities. Mr. McElroy stated from 2007 to 2011 he was a Commissioner
for DEED. He explained the State does have the obligation to audit the business and the
State uses the employee data from unemployment insurance filings to track the
information. In addition, the contract includes terms that make falsifying information to
the State very onerous on the business. He stated the proposal would be beneficial to both
the State and the City.
The motion passed 6-0. (Commissioner Jeff Jacobs absent.)
7b. Submission of a DEED Job Creation Fund Application on Behalf of Novu.
Resolution No. 15-34.
Mr. Hunt explained Novu increased its employment by more than 64% over the past year.
As a result, Novu is in need of an expansion at the Parkdales Office Park. The proposed
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Economic Development Authority Minutes December 21, 2015
expansion will result in the addition of 60 to 90 high paying jobs over the next three to five
years. Novu’s expansion is eligible for DEED’s Minnesota Job Creation Fund (JCF). The
company is applying for a JCF award of approximately $450,000. The funds would help
offset a portion of the equipment and office upgrades. There is no local matching fund
requirement for the JCF application. He explained, if awarded, the funds would be
dispersed directly to Novu. City staff would assist Novu with annual progress reports to
satisfy the requirement of the award. The JCF application requires adoption of a Resolution
of Support from a local government indicating support for the proposed expansion. Staff
recommends adoption of the proposed Resolution as presented.
President Mavity stated this submission does not require a public hearing.
Commissioner Brausen moved approval and stated this is a great State program, which
creates several high paying jobs in the City.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 15-34, approving a Job Creation Fund application
to the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) on behalf of Novu.
The motion passed 6-0. (Commissioner Jeff Jacobs absent.)
7c. 2016 Final HRA Levy Certification and Budget Adoption. Resolution No. 15-
35.
Mr. Swanson explained the policy consideration is whether the City Council wants to levy
the full 2016 HRA levy allowed, $1,011,208, which is an increase of $57,970 or
approximately 6.08% over the 2015 Final HRA Levy. He stated this levy was originally
implemented in 2001 and has been used to fund the City’s infrastructure improvements and
redevelopment areas. He explained the funds are committed to funding the Highway 7 and
Louisiana Avenue project until 2021, based on the current Long Range Financial
Management Plan. He added that the EDA is authorized to approve this HRA levy and
then forward this recommendation to the Council for consideration.
It was moved by Commissioner Sanger, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 15-35, approving the proposed levy of a special
benefit levy pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 469.033, Subdivision 6, and approval of the
2016 Final HRA Levy and Budget for fiscal year 2016.
President Mavity noted this proposed levy increase has been thoroughly vetted and
reviewed previously as the EDA has been discussing this topic since July.
The motion passed 6-0. (Commissioner Jeff Jacobs absent.)

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – December 21, 2015 & January 11, 2016
Mr. Harmening proposed adding an item to the January 11, 2016 agenda for Becky Bakken
to provide an annual update on the activities of Discover St. Louis Park.
Councilmember Mavity stated she has not heard much about the Wooddale Avenue
interchange and wanted to touch base on how traffic is being managed. Councilmember
Sanger stated before the Highway 100 project started, the problems were heavy on the
Wooddale Bridge. She suggested the need to address fixing the issues on the bridge on a
more permanent basis. Mr. Harmening indicated he would have staff provide a report to
the Council for an upcoming study session.
2. SWLRT Station Design
Ms. McMonigal introduced the Southwest Project Office (SPO) staff that have been
working on the Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) project.
Ms. Ghandour stated the discussion items consisted of reviewing the site plan, looking at
the architectural rendering and deciding the colors to be used at the stations. She discussed
the concept plan and the landscaping plan for the Louisiana Station.
Councilmember Brausen asked about bike spaces. Ms. Ghandour responded that this
station will have 22 loops, which provides spaces for 44 bikes. Ms. Ghandour stated they
are also looking at options for long-term bike storage at the station. Councilmember
Brausen asked about security at the station. Ms. Ghandour explained there will be cameras
on the platform and in the park and ride. The City has also been in contact with the Police
Department to determine how to broadcast the video from these cameras to the Police
Department.
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: City Council Study Session Minutes December 14, 2015
Councilmember Sanger asked if parking at the station would be at grade. Ms. Ghandour
stated that the parking at the station is at grade and not structured.
Ms. Ghandour explained that the public art funding for the project was cut 100%. The
Council and staff discussed funding public art and the possibility of getting public art
included in the project. Councilmember Mavity stated she would like the City to figure
out how to incorporate art into the platform. She noted her understanding of the budget
cuts, but felt incorporating art into the actual infrastructure would add some interest.
Councilmember Sanger asked about fencing at the station. Ms. Ghandour stated there will
be a controlled-access path across the tracks of the light rail. In addition, a retaining wall
going down the track will restrict access to the tracks. She stated there is sufficient fencing
so people can’t cross the tracks from the south.
Ms. Ghandour explained the SPO staff is looking for input on landscaping, colors of the
station and the building materials. In addition, the pylons on the station are being held in
place to display graphics. She expressed a desire to work with the Council to help decide
themes for the graphics at each station.
Councilmember Spano stated he did not recall the Council being asked for input on the
design of the station. He explained the need to be clear on where the City is at in the
process so Council can give input where they see fit. Councilmember Mavity stated there
seems to be a lack of communication and also requested that staff be clear on what’s being
asked of the Council. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg expressed the importance of influencing
the project where appropriate to integrate the station into the philosophy of the City.
Councilmember Spano stated he prefers a clean design approach, but agrees with the
importance of incorporating the project into the community. He suggested one way to
accomplish that goal would be to use lighting to make the station stand out. He noted the
City needs to be more creative on the infrastructure since public art was not an option.
Ms. Ghandour stated the SPO would like to have solid concepts in place by February to
bid the project in early May, 2016. She explained the project involved working with a
graphic design team to create the design for the pylons. She discussed the possibility of
adding a high-end fence to the station to make it stand out. The City is looking to find
additional areas for landscaping to add to the area over time.
Councilmember Mavity stated the station is a car-centric design where people are walking
through a parking lot to get to the station. She added that the project, with the exception of
the Wooddale Station, is not people friendly. She stated the plans as presented are not what
was discussed and are not a transit-oriented environment. Ms. McMonigal explained there
are sidewalks surrounding the parking lot, crosswalks through the parking lot, and an
underpass to the regional trail that was added. She stated that the plan also includes bus
connections on Louisiana for Metro Transit. She explained that diverting buses off their
route while maintaining the bus schedule, and making the bus stops pedestrian-friendly, is
a delicate balance.
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: City Council Study Session Minutes December 14, 2015
Councilmember Mavity asked about the 20-year plan for the site. She wanted to make sure
infrastructure isn’t installed that may need to be built-out in the future. She stated that this
design will not stand the test of time.
In response to Councilmember Sanger’s question about the station structures, Ms.
Ghandour responded that the enclosures will have heating and some will provide seating.
Ms. Ghandour reviewed the design plan for the Wooddale Station. She explained there are
stairs on the station side of the trail to provide more direct and quicker access to the street.
She noted it was a small, constrained site so there wasn’t a lot of room for landscaping.
Ms. Ghandour explained that there is bike parking at the station for a maximum of 40 bikes.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg suggested the City look at the possibility of adding additional
bicycle storage. Councilmember Spano stated 40 spaces is not going to cover the demand
for bicycle storage at this station as residents will want to leave their bikes at the station all
day. In response to Councilmember Mavity’s inquiry about a secure box that can be rented
to store bikes, Ms. Ghandour responded that Metro Transit is no longer using them because
they believe the boxes are a public safety issue. The City is working with Metro Transit
outside of the project office for recommendations on other options to add to the site.
Councilmember Hallfin stated the light rail has storage on the train so bikes can accompany
passengers rather than leaving them at the station. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated he is
familiar with this option; however, the Wooddale Station is a unique station and the City
needs to have ample discussion about adding more bike spaces.
In response to Councilmember Sanger’s question, Ms. Ghandour explained that the bus
stops for this station are located at the intersection of Yosemite and 36th Street.
Councilmember Sanger stated she does not agree with that location because the light rail
is not convenient. Mr. Kronzer stated that in late 2017 or early 2018, Metro Transit will
be conducting a study on rerouting bus stops to facilitate better access to light rail.
Ms. Ghandour reviewed the proposed plan for the Beltline Station. She stated the structure
includes stairs on both sides for access and the bus connections are the most direct out of
the three stations. She noted there will be ornamental trees outside of the station.
Councilmember Mavity asked about the Joint Development, and Ms. McMonigal
explained the plan as presented is the base plan in the event the Joint Development does
not move forward.
Ms. Ghandour presented a rendering of the platform of the station, and showed the Council
the materials proposed for the structures. She stated this station possesses a lantern
element. Staff suggests using a bold color to highlight this station. SPO also asked the
Council for feedback on the lantern-like structures and the panels that can be filled with a
design element. Councilmember Sanger expressed concern regarding the brightness of the
lanterns, because of the apartments in close proximity to the station.
Councilmember Mavity stated bright colors at the other stations would be welcomed as
well. Ms. Ghandour stated there are a lot of choices as far as colors are concerned.
Councilmember Mavity asked Ms. Ghandour to look at the Louisiana bridge project as an
example of what she wants the stations to look like.

Ms. McMonigal indicated that more details will be brought back to Council in the coming
months.
3. Local and Regional Government Alliance on Race & Equity – 2016 Initiative
Mr. Harmening asked the Council how it would like the City to participate in this initiative.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg and Councilmember Mavity have signed up individually to at
least attend the speaker sessions. Councilmember Sanger asked how this initiative is
different from what the Human Rights Commission proposed. Councilmember Mavity
responded that the initiative is limited to equity-based racial issues. Councilmember Spano
clarified that the focus of the initiative is on race. Councilmember Mavity stated the tools
learned would be broadly applicable to the City.
Councilmember Spano asked Mr. Harmening if staff has spoken with other cities regarding
whether this initiative is a good time investment. He stated his support of the initiative but
requested the City ask for a list of cities that have accomplished the program to find out
what benefit was received. Mr. Harmening stated he will look into that. Councilmember
Mavity stated she thinks it would be beneficial to work on this with neighboring cities. She
added that this would be a valuable opportunity.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated he is looking forward to participating because he thinks
this initiative is very important work. He explained that there is a focus on race and equity,
but the information learned could be construed broadly.
Councilmember Brausen stated he supports this initiative, noting the initiative will possess
a strong educational component. He explained the issue exists and the initiative is a
proactive solution.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated he agrees the initiative is imperative, but would like to
proceed with caution and make the initiative a comprehensive approach. Mr. Harmening
stated that, from what he’s heard from discussions so far, feedback about the initiative will
be positive.
Councilmember Hallfin stated constituents of the City would want the Council to look into
this issue seriously.
Mr. Harmening stated he will register the City for the initiative and asked the Council to
contact him if participation is desired with the City reimbursing the expense.
4. Westwood Hills Nature Center Master Plan Update
Ms. Walsh presented the staff report and introduced other staff members working on the
project. Several different future locations were discussed. Staff wanted to check in with
the Council to make sure the update is going in the right direction.
Mr. Hoffman stated Westwood Hills Nature Center has some deficiencies. He explained
that the water coming into the structure is concerning because the water causes mold in the
walls. He explained that fixing the current structure would be a major remodel, and he
inquired if any value would exist if the building is remodeled.
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: City Council Study Session Minutes December 14, 2015
Mr. West explained there has been an extensive public process, including surveys and
public meetings. He noted at the next public meeting, on January 12 at Westwood Hills
Nature Center, the public can see the designs. The common themes brought up through
the public process were constructing the building closer to the parking lot for ease of
access; the desire for more parking at the site; keeping the size of the meeting areas
intimate; preschool possibilities at the center; and building a Net Zero structure for
educational opportunities.
Mr. West presented the proposals for both building locations, Options A and B. Option A
would include reconstructing the building on the current site. Option B would include an
expanded parking lot, possibly an amphitheater on the building’s current site, and the
ability to park and walk through the building to access the trails at grade.
In response to the request of the community, Mr. West stated the far northwest corner could
be constructed into a large rest area, picnic shelter, or facilities, so that the whole space
could be utilized.
Councilmember Spano asked staff to consider other ways to get from the parking lot to the
building to make it more accessible so that the parking lot would not need to be moved
closer to the center. Councilmember Sanger stated she agrees the building needs to be
replaced, but would rather determine use before design so the building can meet those
needs. She wants to know the thoughts and ideas of the community members who don’t
use the space currently. Mr. West stated that over 3,500 invitations were sent out for the
meetings. This included community education, rotary clubs, Discover St. Louis Park,
Robbinsdale, Minnetonka, Plymouth, principals of schools, and the business community.
He stated he was surprised that only 20 people attended the meeting.
Councilmember Mavity stated that she wants the opinion of the people who currently use
the Nature Center, and that public process has been on-point. She suggested the plans
orient everything facing the nature preserve, away from the parking lot. She noted that this
site would be a great opportunity to incorporate sustainability elements. Mr. Harmening
stated the building will be a Net Zero building, with opportunities for solar, possibly wind,
and geothermal. In addition, the Nature Center can be used as an educational tool on
sustainability.
Councilmember Brausen asked about fundraising or a donor to help with the costs. Mayor
Pro Tem Lindberg stated that he thinks the City should continue to move forward on this
project. He explained that this area is a gem and an environmental educational tool. He
added that the Nature Center is an excellent opportunity to educate the community on
sustainability.
5. Review Draft Agenda for 2016 City Council Workshop
Mr. Harmening presented the topic. A survey was conducted with the Council, and is
summarized in the staff report. He explained that a well-executed visioning process can
help build community trust so the topic is found in different agenda items.
Councilmember Hallfin stated the Council did not utilize the homework assigned from last
year’s meeting and wants to be careful not to do that again.
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 6
Title: City Council Study Session Minutes December 14, 2015
Related to the racial equity issue, Mr. Harmening suggested the Council apply that idea as
part of the workshop discussions.
Councilmember Sanger stated that she wants the Council to envision what success looks
like for each member at the end of the Workshop. Consultant Bridget Gothberg will survey
the Council prior to the workshop to get information from each of them regarding what
success looks like for the outcome of the workshop.
Councilmember Spano stated Friday has been devoted to some deep policy discussions.
He wants to focus on high-level items and not get too bogged down with a specific
initiative. He wants the Council to consider how it is interacting with the public, what that
looks like, and how to handle different communication styles.
Councilmember Mavity wants to ensure the Council has concrete takeaways from the
meeting.
6. Discuss City Manager Evaluation (Verbal)
Mr. Harmening stated he has been in contact with Council and discussed with Mayor Elect
Spano a different version for his 2015 performance evaluation. The current plan is to pose
two questions he will address and then obtain Council feedback. Mr. Harmening asked the
Council if this approach is agreeable, noting the goal is to have meaningful communication
that’s different from the past, providing review of the past year and looking at the future.
Councilmember Brausen stated his only interest is discovering what’s needed from the
Council to ensure the success of Mr. Harmening. Mr. Harmening stated there would be
space in the evaluation for overall comments.
Councilmember Spano stated that he doesn’t want to be the only one involved in review
so he suggested the whole Council be involved.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he wants to ensure the Council focuses on the positive
things. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated that the proposed tool sounds very productive and
will provide beneficial and useable feedback.
It was the consensus of the City Council to proceed with the proposed evaluation tool for
City Manager.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg asked whether the deed submission for MoneyGram could be
longer than three years.
Relating to the City website redesign, Councilmember Mavity suggested that the website
possess the ability to search topics that have been discussed at City Council meetings. She
stated without this feature it makes the City appear to lack transparency.
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 7
Title: City Council Study Session Minutes December 14, 2015
Councilmember Sanger inquired if anybody plans to apply for a seat on the GEARS
Committee because she is interested in applying. Councilmember Mavity stated that she
will assist getting Councilmember Sanger appointed. The application is due within a week.
The meeting adjourned at 9:17 p.m.

1. Discuss 2016 State of the City (Verbal)
Councilmember Spano introduced the topic of the 2016 State of the City and suggested
the Council change the time of the event from early morning to late afternoon (4:30 p.m.)
as it would help entice attendance. The Council supported changing the time of the
event. The TwinWest Chamber of Commerce did not object to the proposed time
change. Councilmember Spano also discussed possible locations for the event.
Councilmember Spano questioned if the City would be amiable to trying a new format
for the event, such as the Council co-presenting the topics with staff. He noted this
would provide the Council with an opportunity for more direct contact and interaction
with the community. Councilmember Mavity stated her appreciation of being involved
in the process; however, if all of the Council spoke, she thought it may be too long.
Councilmember Spano stated the presentations would be brief. The Council discussed
potential topics to be presented at the 2016 State of the City.
Councilmember Sanger suggested the event be held somewhere new and friendly, such as
Wolfe Park Pavilion. Councilmember Hallfin stated he liked that the locations have been
rotated for the last few years.
Councilmember Spano asked Mr. Harmening where the topics were gathered from in
previous years. Mr. Harmening explained in previous years Ms. Deno led a group to
brainstorm different locations and then a topic was selected to highlight the operations of
that location. Councilmember Spano suggested Councilmembers introduce the topic and
staff can explain the details. Councilmember Mavity stated there are a lot of creative
ways to get out the message. Councilmember Sanger suggested focusing on topics that
have received media attention such as water quality and treatment and stated this forum
could be used to provide accurate information on topics. Councilmember Brausen stated
his agreement with Councilmember Spano’s idea.
Mr. Harmening stated he will continue discuss the event with Ms. Larson, Ms. Deno, and
Councilmember Spano to put together ideas.

2. Draft Resolution – Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to Recognize Impact of
Aircraft Noise in St Louis Park
Mr. Hoffman presented the staff report regarding aircraft noise in the City. As the city
assigned representative to the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC), he stated there have
been increasing complaints the past two years from residents being disturbed by aircraft
noise. Being under the approach path of the two parallel runways, immediate solutions
for the City are limited. The temporary noise monitoring station at the Recreation Center
during 2014 clearly recorded a high number of flights and elevated noise from them.
However, current noise contour maps around MSP airport end at the SE corner of Lake
Harriet and do not extend into SLP. He suggested the first step in long term solutions is
to acknowledge increased awareness that aircraft noise is a concern in the City,
explaining that the FAA needs to revise noise monitoring metrics and contours
identifying noise impacted areas. He suggested to take the issue on, push it on to the
FAA, get local government officials involved, and he could bring it back to the NOC.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) quarterly public input meeting is
tentatively scheduled to be held at SLP City Hall on April 27, 2016. Mr. Hoffman
suggested that it would be beneficial to the City if MAC staff could attend that Council
meeting to hear the residents speak.
Ms. Peilen, MAC Commissioner, stated she wants to thank the City for problem-solving
and discussing the issue with realistic solutions. The proposed resolution that was
discussed is realistic and doable. She suggested that the City reach out to the FAA to
discuss the noise. She explained that the FAA is currently studying the effect of aircraft
noise and the 65 Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL). She stated that she thinks the
City’s work on this topic is progressive and forward thinking and could be used as a
model for other cities.
Mr. Harmening explained that this is not about pushing the air traffic to other cities. The
City is always going to have airport traffic, but this could lead to some positive changes
such as a vortex generator. Ms. Peilen confirmed the availability of a vortex generator
that can be installed to help quiet the noise on some planes.
Councilmember Mavity stated her appreciation with regard to the work completed on this
topic as it impacts Ward 2. She stated that feedback has been received from residents
about the increase in aircraft noise level. She asked when RNAV was implemented
because she has noticed the number of flights flying over the City has increased. Ms.
Peilen stated that RNAV has been implemented but has not impacted the concentration of
the flights. In response to Councilmember Mavity’s question about including a time on
the proposed resolution, Ms. Peilen explained that the FAA runs on their own timetable.
Ms. Peilen stated that it’s up to the Council if they want to specify a response timetable.
Councilmember Mavity asked whether the Councilmembers should notify the residents to
complain if the noise level is unacceptable and if the MAC evaluates the complaints by
the amount received by location. Ms. Peilen explained that the MAC does track
complaints by number and location. Sometimes several complaints are from the same
property. When asked how significant the number of complaints is to the MAC, Ms.
Peilen responded that she does not know, but encouraged the Council to let residents
City Council Meeting of January 4, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 3
Title: City Council Special Study Session Minutes December 21, 2015
know to complain if the noise level is bothersome. Mr. Hoffman explained that when a
resident calls to complain, staff suggests reporting the concern on the MACNOISE
website or calling MAC staff. He stated that in a past instance, complaints had been
tracked to a specific type of aircraft, which triggered repairs.
Councilmember Mavity stated that most complaints occur from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 am.
Ms. Peilen stated that this has come up and is considered night time. She explained that
the Minneapolis airport cannot regulate night flights. A letter has been sent to the airlines
asking them to think about discouraging night flights.
Councilmember Brausen stated that he believes this is a thoughtful approach. He opined
that the planes are lining up at 394, and he has noticed that air traffic has increased
significantly. Councilmember Lindberg stated that the increase in air traffic around the
area of 394 has been a topic of conversation, and residents have noticed a change.
Councilmember Brausen stated he will encourage residents to call and complain.
Councilmember Sanger suggested the City encourage and publicize this complaint route.
In reference to the Noise Monitoring Study, Councilmember Sanger asked if the
instances where over 65 DNL were recorded were in the City or the metro area.
Mr. Hoffman clarified that those numbers were from the data collect ed during the
temporary monitoring in the City.
Councilmember Spano stated that if in fact MAC is using this data, maybe the Council
pitches it more as a feedback tool. For example, give specific detail and in return the
MAC can build a case in reference to a certain type of aircraft. Councilmember Sanger
suggested that we can describe this on camera at a Council meeting and it can be put in
text at the bottom of the screen.
Councilmember Mavity suggested the City’s website include search terms for airport
noise so residents have a place to go for information. She also suggested that possibly
this summer an informational piece be presented about this topic to discuss with
residents. Ms. Peilen stated that MAC has a presentation about what influences in the
environment can send noise levels up and down, and she volunteered to attend a more
general community based question/answer session. Mr. Hoffman supported Ms. Peilen’s
idea because an overview is helpful to explain and define the noise and how it works.
This presentation will be included at the MAC public input meeting in the City on April
27.
3. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Designating 2016 Official Newspaper
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution designating the St. Louis Park Sun-

4. New residents receive information regarding distribution of the Sun-Sailor newspaper in
their new resident packet.

6. Notarized affidavits of each publication are provided at no additional charge.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost for legal publications through the

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Designating Councilmembers to the Office of Mayor Pro Tem for 2016
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution appointing the following
Councilmembers to the Office of Mayor Pro Tem for the year 2016:
Councilmember Term of Appointment
Susan Sanger January – April 2016
Anne Mavity May – August 2016
Steve Hallfin September – December 2016
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None. The proposed appointments are consistent with
previously adopted Council policy.
SUMMARY: Minnesota State Statute section 412.121 states that at the first meeting held each
year the Council shall appoint the Councilmembers who will serve as Mayor Pro Tem to perform
the duties of the Mayor during disability or absence, or, in the case of a vacancy in the office of
mayor, until a successor has been appointed or elected.
In 2014 the Council approved amendments to “Council Rules and Procedures” relating to
appointment of the Mayor Pro Tem. Resolution No. 14-034 states, “Councilmembers appointed
as Mayor Pro Tem will serve a four month term beginning in January of each year, with the
appointments made on a rotating basis based upon seniority. For Councilmembers elected at the
same time, seniority is based on alphabetical order of the last name. All Councilmembers willing
to serve as Mayor Pro Tem shall be appointed to a term before the rotation starts again with the
most senior member. In the absence of the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem, the most senior available
Councilmember will serve as Acting Mayor Pro Tem”.
