EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: 2017 Budget Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action required. This report is to update the Council
with 2017 levy information.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council desire to set the 2017 Final Property Tax Levy at $30,135,070,
which is an increase of $1,530,599 or approximately 5.35% over the 2016 Final Property
Tax Levy?
Is there other information that Council would like to review in more detail?
Are there any other service delivery changes Council would like to have considered?
SUMMARY: In September, Council approved a Preliminary Property Tax Levy which was 6.5%
higher than the final 2016 levy. Subsequently, staff worked to incorporate the SAFER grant that
the City received to offset the cost of the two full-time firefighter positions. In addition, staff
adjusted the employer contribution for health insurance to reflect the two year contract that was
just received and moved the annual STEP contribution to the housing rehab fund, which resulted
in bringing the levy down to approximately 5.35%.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The proposed tax levy will help support
necessary city services to be provided during 2017.
VISION CONSIDERATION: All Vision areas are taken into consideration.

Special Study Session Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Title: 2017 Budget Update
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On September 19th, the City Council adopted the 2017 Preliminary Property
Tax Levy of $30,464,756, which was approximately 6.5% over the 2016 Final Property Tax Levy.
Since September 19, staff has reviewed a number of revenue and expenditure adjustments to ensure
that estimates and assumptions are still reasonable for 2017. Some of the significant items in
reducing the preliminary levy are:
1) Fire – Incorporate Federal Operating Grant received to cover the cost of two full-time
firefighter positions included in the 2017 budget. The 2017 amount included is $130,000,
which will allow for building up the tax levy over the next two years to minimize the full
$190,000 impact in year 3 (2019).
2) Community Development – moved STEP contribution of $45,900 to the Housing Rehab
fund because the housing related programs are typically included in the Housing Rehab fund.
3) City Wide Benefits – Original estimates for premium increases for health insurance for 2017
was 12% due to past experience. In working with Health Partners, our consultant was able
to obtain a 2 year renewal with more favorable rates. Aggregate increases to premiums for
2017 will be 4.82% and for 2018 not to exceed 9%. This reduction in premium increases
allows for a budget reduction of over $120k.
ADDITIONAL BUDGET INFORMATION: Council asked for additional information on the
boulevard tree removal and Race and Equity funding.
The boulevard tree removal costs are currently split 50/50 with the homeowner. It would cost
an additional $65,000/yr if the city were to pay 100% of the tree removal costs, which would
need to be added to the 2017 budget as the additional amount is not included in the updated
levy numbers. Adding this additional amount would bring the levy change to approximately
5.58%. The Council should keep in mind that if Emerald Ash Borer arrives in St. Louis Park,
the cost of removal could go from $130,000/yr. using the 100% funding model to
approximately $400,000, at least for a period of time.
Race and Equity funding has been identified under Council programs in the levy line item below
in the amount of $134,000. Any Council Program funds unspent from 2016 will be assigned
as fund balance and used in 2017 for Race and Equity, Outreach and Climate Action Plan
initiatives.
The proposed breakdown of the 5.35% Proposed Property Tax Levy by fund is shown below:

Title: 2017 Budget Update
ADDITIONAL TAX LEVY INFORMATION
By law, the City Council approved 2017 preliminary property tax levies back in September and
those preliminary levies have been sent to Hennepin County for certification. Hennepin County
will mail out parcel specific notices to taxpayers in mid-November. Final action on the 2017
Budget, 2017 Final City Property Tax Levy, Final 2017 HRA Levy, and 2017 – 2026 CIP will not
occur until December.
OTHER RELATED ITEMS
Earlier this year, the Council discussed increasing the annual contribution to Friends of the
Arts from $20,000 to $40,000. Funding Source: Development Fund. Is this still in keeping
with the Council’s wishes?
Climate Action Plan is currently being worked on and the 2017-2026 Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) does include $155,000 for solar panels at the Municipal Service Center in 2017.
If a higher priority is identified in the action plan, these funds could be reallocated. Updates
to the CIP will be made for Climate Action Plan items once the plan is completed. Funding
Source: Capital Replacement Fund.
Council had asked for more information regarding the Patient Contact System for the Fire
Department in 2017 during the CIP discussion. This software is an integral component of our
overall medical services response. This amount is a placeholder for the updates and hardware
that the Fire department will need when the software we are currently using becomes obsolete
in late 2017. Not updating the software will restrict our ability to collect and report EMS data
to the State of MN. Today 70-80% of the fire departments call volume is EMS and there needs
to be a secure area to record important patient information that allows for collection, and
outcome tracking. Note - this item is not being driven by the Park Nicollet Patient Discharge
program. Funding Source: Police and Fire Pension.
Estimated City Impacts for 2017
Tax Levy
Based on a 5.35% levy increase, and realizing there are many variables in estimating the City
impact on a residential homesteaded property, a median value home, which is $240,100, and a
value change of 5.5% for taxes payable in 2017, would experience an increase of approximately
$4.74 per month or approximately $56.84 for the year on the City share of property taxes.
Franchise Fee – Pavement Management
As previously reviewed and approved, the new franchise fees to fund the pavement management
program will change for a residential property from $3.25 to $4.00 or $0.75 cents per month for
each utility (Gas and Electric).
Utility Rates-Water, Sewer, Storm Water, and Solid Waste Funds
As previously reviewed and approved, the cumulative effect on a typical residential property for
all the utility rate adjustments is $5.16 per month or $15.47 per quarter. The calculation is based
on a family of four using 30 units of water per quarter (22,500 gallons), and a 60 gallon solid waste
service.
Special Study Session Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: 2017 Budget Update
NEXT STEPS: As the 2017 budget process continues, the following preliminary schedule
snapshot has been developed for Council:
December 5 Truth in Taxation Public Hearing and budget presentation.
December 12 (If needed) - Public Hearing continuation and any budget discussion.
December 19 Council adopts 2016 Revised Budget, 2017 Budgets, final tax levies
(City and HRA), and 2017 - 2026 CIP.
The City Council has the option of decreasing the 2017 Preliminary Property Tax Levies for the
City and HRA after the initial certification; however it cannot be increased.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Fastpitch Softball Task Force Timelines for Softball Field Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. At the Council’s request, staff is providing a
summary of the activities and timeline associated with a task force being formed regarding field
equity for girls fastpitch softball.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is Council supportive of the timeline proposed by staff?
SUMMARY: Based on concerns expressed by the girls Fastpitch Softball Association regarding
field equity, council authorized staff to form a task force, which would include members from the
fastpitch association that would look at existing field conditions and opportunities for creating
additional fastpitch softball fields. The findings of the task force and recommendations from the
Park and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) will be presented to the City Council in the
timeline provided below.
The task force will be chaired by Elizabeth Griffin from PRAC. The remainder of the task force
will be made up of Tiffany Hoffman (PRAC), Andy Ewald and Tom Bravo from the School
District, city staff, 2 members of the fast pitch softball association and 1 member from the High
School girls fast pitch booster club. The Fastpitch Association has submitted names to staff and
will be officially appointing their representatives at their November 21 board meeting. It is
important to have school district staff representation since the booster club is an organization that
works specifically with the high school girls’ softball team.
TIMELINES:
Staff will send out an email to coordinate meeting dates with the task force.
The first task force meeting is proposed to be held in November prior to Thanksgiving.
The task force will present recommendations to PRAC in April 2017.
PRAC will present recommendations to City Council tentatively May 2017 for insertion
as necessary into the 2018 CIP process.
NEXT STEPS:
Assemble a task force and plan scheduled meeting dates.
Hire a landscape architect to work with the task force on possible locations & design.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The landscape architect design fees will be
paid from the Park Improvement Fund.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

7a. Assignment and Subordination Agreement – ACSLP, LLC (TPI
Hospitality/AC Hotel by Marriot). Resolution No. 16-20
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report. He explained that on April 4, 2016, TPI Hospitality
received its final zoning approvals for the hotel (AC Hotel by Marriott) required under the
Amended and Restated Contract for Private Redevelopment with Central Park West, LLC.
As a requirement of the construction financing for the project, TPI Hospitality’s lender,
Johnson Bank, has requested that the EDA and the city approve an Assignment and
Subordination Agreement of Amended and Restated Contract for Private Redevelopment.
The proposal is primarily an agreement by the EDA and city to subordinate their rights
under the contract to the rights of Johnson Bank under TPI Hospitality’s construction loan.
The developer is also collaterally assigning its rights under the contract to Johnson Bank.
This primarily means that the lender will have rights if the hotel developer commits an
event of default under the Redevelopment Contract. Additionally, there are two provisions
of particular note within the proposed agreement. Paragraph 7 provides that although the
city and EDA are waiving the required date for commencement of construction of the hotel,
they reserve the right to require a fourth amendment to the contract if construction is
delayed past January 1, 2017. Paragraph 9 provides that the rights of the EDA under the
Assessment Agreement for the hotel are not subordinated to the mortgage. The proposed
agreement is similar to other subordination agreements the EDA has approved previously,
and has been reviewed by the EDA’s legal counsel who recommends its approval.
Commissioner Brausen asked when the hotel project was anticipated to be completed. Mr.
Hunt responded the project would begin in November, 2016, and be completed by
February, 2018, hopefully in time for the Super Bowl in Minneapolis.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Lindberg, to waive
the reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 16-20, approving the assignment and
subordination agreement with ACSLP, LLC (TPI Hospitality) and Johnson Bank, relative
to the amended and restated contract for Private Redevelopment with Central Park West,
LLC.
The motion passed 7-0.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Authorization to Submit Applications for Environmental Grant Funds
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) Motion to Approve Resolution authorizing the Executive Director and President to submit a
grant application to the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
Contamination Clean-up Grant Program on behalf of the PLACE project;
2) Motion to Approve Resolution authorizing the Executive Director and President to submit a
grant application to the Hennepin County Environmental Response Fund Program on behalf
of the PLACE project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA support submitting grant applications on behalf
of PLACE to assist in environmental cleanup of properties at the southeast quadrant of Highway
7 and Wooddale Ave?
SUMMARY: PLACE proposes to redevelop property on the north and south sides of the future
Wooddale SWLRT Station with a mixed-use, mixed-income, transit-oriented, and sustainable
development. Proposed is a total of 300 residential units (200 affordable and 100 market rate), a
110-room hotel, a 15,000 SF e-generation/co-generation/greenhouse facility, approximately
25,000 SF of ground floor commercial/retail space, and one acre “urban forest.”
Recent environmental investigations have determined that there are contaminated soils on the
subject site that are in need of remediation. To assist with cleanup costs, PLACE is requesting
that the EDA apply for $669,185 in grants from Hennepin County and DEED on their behalf.
Environmental grants for contamination cleanup are awarded semi-annually. These grant
applications are due November 1. Each grant requires a resolution from the governing body of the
city where the project site is located indicating that it supports the project. Grant awards are
typically announced in December/January.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The EDA is the designated applicant for the
DEED grant but has no financial obligations other than to serve as the conduit for the grant funds.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city
business.

Title: Authorization to Submit Applications for Environmental Grant Funds
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The PLACE project concept was first introduced to the Council/EDA
November 25, 2013, and most recently discussed at the October 10, 2016 study session where it
received a favorable reception. The proposed PLACE redevelopment site is located at the
southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Ave and the northeast corner of W 36th Street and
Wooddale Ave. The two sites surround both sides of the rail/trail corridor and the future Wooddale
SWLRT Station. During the October 10th study session meeting, PLACE representatives
mentioned that recent environmental investigations determined that there is soil contamination on
both sites. Since that meeting, PLACE has requested that the EDA apply for contamination and
cleanup grants from DEED and Hennepin County.
In September 2016, Phase II Investigations performed by Barr determined soils in portions of both
sites are contaminated with diesel range organics, arsenic, cadmium, silver, lead and
perchloroethylene. In addition, underground tanks were found on the McGarvey site and old
railroad ties were found on the Hennepin County site north of the railroad tracks. The sites are
also contaminated with soil gases, specifically volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which will
require vapor mitigation. The total amount of cleanup funds being requested from Hennepin
County and DEED is $669,185.
Grant funds are being requested from DEED’s Contamination Cleanup grant program and
Hennepin County’s Environmental Response Fund. It should be noted that approving an
authorizing resolution and resolution of support for the grants does not mean the City Council is
or will approve any future PUD or Plat applications. No matter what is developed on these sites
any future project will have to remove the contaminated soil and building materials prior to
redevelopment.
It should be noted that the PLACE redevelopment has received the following grants.
$100,000 - Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Transit-Oriented Development
Pre-Development Grant.
$2,000,000 – Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account Transit-
Oriented Development Grant.
$750,000 – Hennepin County Transit-Oriented Development Grant.
$385,000 Xcel Energy Efficiency Grant.
NEXT STEPS:
The schedule for the grant applications is as follows:
November 8, 2016: Staff will submit the authorizing resolutions to each granting agency.
December/January 2016/2017: Grant awards will be announced.
By the end of 2016: PLACE anticipates submitting PUD/Plat/Comprehensive Plan
Amendment applications.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Small Business Saturday Proclamation
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor is asked to read the Proclamation designating Saturday,
November 26, 2016 as Small Business Saturday.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Not Applicable
SUMMARY: Small Business Saturday is an initiative to encourage area customers to patronize
local businesses. The Saturday falls on the weekend after Thanksgiving – between Black Friday
and Cyber Monday. It has become a nationwide effort to celebrate and support small businesses
and all they contribute to their communities. The day encourages people to shop at local small
businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
This year, Small Business Saturday falls on November 26th. Staff is proposing that the City Council
once again approve a proclamation supporting the Small Business Saturday initiative to
demonstrate St. Louis Park’s support for the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy
and enhance our neighborhoods.
Small Business Saturday was launched in 2010 and involved 130 small business advocate groups,
1.2 million Facebook users, public and private organizations and local governments. Each year
since Small Business Saturday has gained momentum. In 2015, 95 million people went out to
shop at small businesses and spent more than $16 billion at independent retailers and restaurants
across the U.S. By spreading the word about Small Business Saturday, St. Louis Park can help
raise awareness of the critical role small businesses play in the city and encourage residents to
celebrate and support the small businesses that make their neighborhoods thrive.
A proclamation is attached. Staff will also promote the initiative on social media.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: None
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016
The meeting convened at 7:00 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Susan Sanger.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Engineering Director (Ms. Heiser), Recreation
Superintendent (Mr. West), Westwood Hills Nature Center Manager (Mr. Oestreich), Senior
Engineering Project Manager (Mr. Elkin) and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: None
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – October 2016
Mr. Harmening noted that there will be no meeting next Monday, October 3, due to Rosh
Hashanah. At the October 10 Special Study Session meeting, there will be PLACE and MAC
updates. Additionally, final choices will be reviewed for the naming and marketing of the Outdoor
Recreation Facility, and there will also be a website development update.
Councilmember Sanger noted she would like to request a discussion during an upcoming study
session regarding height limits of houses zoned R1 and R2 - Residential. She added that with new
home construction, 30 feet can be too tall and cause shadows for neighboring homes. She would
like to discuss this issue.
Councilmember Miller added he would like to include a discussion about setbacks from the right-
of-way in new home construction.
Councilmember Mavity asked staff to distribute previous staff reports on these two topics to the
council before bringing up these items for larger discussion.
Councilmember Lindberg added he is not interested in this conversation at this time, stating that
height or setback changes would not apply equitably throughout the community, and he is
concerned about any new action now.
Councilmember Sanger stated these topics have been discussed in the past; however, she feels the
blocking of sunlight and shadowing that is occurring in residential construction is an issue that
needs to be considered. She added this is addressed in commercial buildings, but not homes, and
it needs to be considered.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he does not see a need to discuss these issues at this time.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is ambivalent on this topic and does not want to address this
free-market issue. He believes that people should have freedom and latitude on this issue, without
over management from the city.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Mayor Spano agreed with Councilmember Mavity about distributing reports and conducting a
refresher for the council on height and setback rules. He added he is reluctant to get involved in
potential arguments between neighbors on the rules of height and setback, but would like to see
the ordinance again for review. Mr. Harmening indicated he would have staff prepare a study
session report that summarizes past discussions on this topic as well as an outline of the city’s
current zoning requirements.
Councilmember Mavity stated she has received many letters from community members about
naturally occurring affordable housing and would like to address this further in a study session.
She feels the need to do this sooner rather than later and would like to get a timeline in place for
addressing and responding to the concerns of the community members.
Councilmember Sanger stated it was left that council would not have this discussion until other
larger groups and the Housing Authority addressed it first. She does not feel informed enough to
have this conversation yet.
Councilmember Mavity stated there is ample information available from Hennepin County and
the Met Council in order to speak to this issue, adding it is incumbent on the city to invite advocates
to come in to discuss this. She would like to get it in motion.
Councilmember Sanger stated she would like to hear from the Met Council before the council
hears from the housing advocates.
Councilmember Hallfin asked why the advocates should have an audience with the council. He
added that the council meets regularly with constituents on this issue.
Councilmember Mavity answered that the council are leaders and that’s why the advocates are
reaching out. She added that the city is starting to lose affordability, and there needs to be
discussion on what will be done over the next 30-50 years in order to preserve it.
Councilmember Lindberg added that the city wants to do everything possible to be a strong leader
on affordable housing. He noted it would be good to have this advocate group speak to the council.
He added that he would like to see the council talk more about inclusivity, but balance this with
resources and the demand we put on staff. Along with this, he also noted work the council is doing
on race equity and how this impacts single-family affordable housing.
Councilmember Miller stated he supports looking further into naturally occurring affordable
housing. He added he would like to see a staff report on this and take a broader look at affordable
housing across the city versus just in one area of the city.
Councilmember Brausen stated he would like to hear from the advocates.
Councilmember Mavity stated a follow-up discussion for the council on this topic could be done
at the retreat or paced out over several months. She added that the city needs a transparent and
clear plan for the advocates.
Mayor Spano stated he believes 100% that advocates need the opportunity to share their
perspectives with the council. He added it would be helpful to have Hennepin County and the Met
Council present at the discussion with the advocates, so everyone can learn from each other what
all parties are doing related to this issue.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Councilmember Brausen added the council needs to look at how this project and proposal impacts
the city’s racial equity goals, and as a core principle, it needs to advance race equity in St. Louis
Park.
Councilmember Sanger asked how this will promote equity in general and for all groups and issues
including age, gender, and sexual orientation - not just race. Mayor Spano stated right now the
city’s focus is on race equity.
Mr. Harmening noted that it seemed the naturally occurring affordable housing issue was just one
of several housing issues the Council wanted to discuss further. He suggested that staff provide a
list of housing issues for future Council discussion and, as Councilmember Mavity suggested,
discuss these topics over a series of study sessions, similar to what was done with the review of
the city’s assessment policy. The naturally occurring affordable housing issue could be the first
topic to discuss.
Councilmember Miller also noted that he would like further conversations related to the Human
Rights and Parks and Recreation Advisory Commissions and noted these two commissions could
also use further direction from the council as they are having similar issues as the Environment
and Sustainability Commission was having.
Councilmember Mavity added this might be an appropriate time to discuss annual commission
reports being presented to the council for review.
Mr. Harmening stated this is in the works, starting with the ESC. He stated this commission is
working on its four areas of focus, as requested by the council, and will get official council
approval on their work plan in the near future. Mr. Harmening noted this same approach is
proposed to be rolled out for all commissions and that this approach could address the points
Councilmember Miller made about the other commissions.
2. Debrief of Eastman Nature Center Tour in the Elm Creek Park
Mr. West noted that in 2016 the city hired Miller Dunwidde Architecture to create a comprehensive
master plan to address development and programming goals for the Westwood Hills Nature
Center. The plan included the nature center facilities, outdoor programming sites, infrastructure
and programming needs. The master plan serves as the vision, guiding principles, resource
allocation, and action plan to meet the identified needs of the community and to assist the city in
planning for future building development at Westwood Hills Nature Center. He noted that citizen
input was involved in shaping the plan.
Additionally, Mr. West explained that council members toured the Eastman Nature Center to
understand some of the features that could be included in the new interpretive center at Westwood
Hills Nature Center. Next steps, if the council decides to proceed, will be to solicit requests for
proposals (RFP) for the design development phase. This would occur in the first quarter of 2017.
The Capital Improvement Program has budgeted $300,000 in 2017 and $700,000 in 2018 for
design fees for the nature center, and $11,000,000 in 2019 for construction of the new nature center
building.
Councilmember Sanger stated she liked the appearance of the Eastman Nature Center building and
noted the glass and design was very appealing. She added the tour guide was helpful in explaining
the focus and purpose of the building, activities, functions and goals. She stated the Westwood
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Nature Center will also need to also have purpose and goals, and the council will need to have
clear discussion about who the target audience will be for the center.
Councilmember Sanger added that the cost to build the Eastman Nature Center was less than the
costs being considered for the Westwood Nature Center. Eastman was built three to four years
ago. Additionally, she stated she liked the fact that the bathrooms were designed to be available
for use even when the facility is closed.
Councilmember Brausen stated he liked the geo-thermal cooling and heating at Eastman; the three-
classroom layout; windows; staff areas; and kids’ areas. He added he would like Westwood to be
a warmer space, noting that Eastman was a little stark in its interior design.
Councilmember Lindberg said the Westwood Nature Center needs to have a great connection to
the outdoors. He added that the center needs to be unique to St. Louis Park and noted the unique
aspect of Westwood is that it is city-run and reflects our commitment to the environment. He stated
it will be important to consider unique partnerships and focus on environmental education at
Westwood. Also, the center will need to be the right facility for the community and built with
careful consideration of being the best steward of tax dollars. The dialogue will need to be framed
in this way.
Councilmember Hallfin added that Eastman Nature Center was built over the old footprint, so
perhaps that is why their costs were lower than what Westwood’s would be. Westwood Nature
Center would use state of the art technology and be very environmentally conscious. He added that
Westwood gets far more visitors than the Eastman Nature Center and should be bigger.
Councilmember Mavity stated that from the outside the Eastman Nature Center felt institutional
and industrial, noting Westwood should be made warmer and more inviting. She added it will be
important to be attentive to the noise levels of the new Westwood Center. She stated Eastman was
noisy at the entry way. Westwood should be made to be sensitive to the children, but also for older
folks with hearing issues. She noted it will be important to make sure Westwood is looped for
hearing aid accessibility. She stated the Eastman lighting was very harsh, not warm, and while she
appreciated the way the glass was angled for birds, she noticed the lighting was uninviting.
Councilmember Mavity stated she appreciated all the sustainable parts of the Eastman Nature
Center. However, the porches were small and did not feel inviting. She added if Westwood were
to have a screen porch, it should be larger.
Councilmember Miller asked if the consultant has enough information from the council to move
ahead from an objective standpoint.
Mayor Spano stated he is not sure the council knows yet what the emphasis will be at the new
nature center. He likes the quiet space and would want a way to celebrate the environmental setting
within an urban area. He also noted the lighting at Eastman seemed warm, and he liked the slanted
glass, adding that the Westwood Nature Center may want to consider a panorama of slanted glass
in order to view nature.
Councilmember Lindberg noted that the glass is costly, while Councilmember Brausen added that
tall ceilings would also increase heating costs and not give an intimate feel to the space.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Mr. Oestreich stated the trip to Eastman Nature Center was successful in that the council was able
to see options. He added that cost will depend on what the plans are for Westwood. He stated the
next step will be to bring the design architect onto the project; take the information from the
council; come up with the design and costs; create construction documents; and finally get bids
and pricing.
Councilmember Sanger stated the council needs to discuss and decide what should go on at
Westwood Nature Center each day. She added that until this is decided, she doesn’t see how the
architect can come up with goals. The groups that use the facility will determine the design needed
to accommodate them.
Mr. Harmening stated the finance staff is creating a debt model which will review the various
financial impacts of what the facility will become. He noted that the council may want to consider
reviewing this model approving design development. He added staff can create a document which
will include the community input on the project thus far and how the site is used today in order to
create goals and objectives for the space. Once the council agrees on the goals and objectives, they
can be forwarded to the architect to create the design.
Councilmember Brausen asked if there has been any discussion on school district use of the new
facility. Councilmember Lindberg stated there has not been much progress on that conversation to
date. Mr. Harmening explained this has not been a priority for the school district at this time. Their
focus has been on meeting capacity needs and presenting themselves as a desirable school district.
Mayor Spano noted this conversation on the mission of Westwood Nature Center will need to stay
at a high level and then allow the architect to carry out the vision.
Mr. Harmening stated this will be brought back to the council for further review and discussion
before year-end.
3. Carpenter Park Regional Stormwater Improvement
Mr. Elkin reported that in 2014, the city completed the Beltline LRT Station Project Area
Coordinated Stormwater Management Analysis Study (Beltline Study) to evaluate possible
regional stormwater quality treatment in the Beltline Station area. One location where treatment
can occur is the southwest corner of Carpenter Park. This project was initially discussed with
council at the June 6, 2016, Special Study Session as part of the Bass Lake Preserve Project update.
At that time, council wanted to learn more about this project and the benefits it would provide
before committing to construction. Since that time, a feasibility study has been completed by WSB
and Associates, Inc. The proposed project is feasible and will provide stormwater treatment to 42
acres and remove 30 lbs. of phosphorus loading in the Bass Lake Preserve sub-watershed. Mr.
Elkin stated this project would benefit both the redevelopment of the Beltline EDA site and serve
as the new location for the skateboard park that was displaced as part of the Outdoor Recreation
Center.
Mr. Elkin noted that as part of the study it was discovered that there are contaminated materials
buried in the park, which would need to be removed as a part of any construction project on this
site. While the material is not hazardous, it will need to be disposed of in a landfill. To address
these costs, staff recommends applying for a Hennepin County grant, which can fund the cost of
contamination removal. The deadline for this grant application is November 1, 2016. He added
that the estimate for this project is $1,164,700 to be paid using the Storm Water Utility Fund.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Councilmember Mavity asked for more explanation related to the statement in the report that water
quality projects can be chosen depending on the city’s goals, and wondered about the improvement
of existing drainage on play fields. Mr. Elkin stated that this project achieves multiple goals,
including stormwater treatment and rate control; credits for redevelopment; treatment for the
skateboard park; improvement for drainage at city hall and the playfields.
Councilmember Mavity noted that some of the Bass Lake folks have raised questions on this
project related to the stormwater treatment. Ms. Heiser stated for the city to get credit for the
Beltline project from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, the project must take place in the
same pipe shed.
Councilmember Mavity asked if there are other recommendations for water quality improvements
in the Bass Lake Sub-watershed. Ms. Heiser noted that as opportunities come forward, staff will
bring them to council.
Councilmember Mavity asked in light of the SWLRT project, will there need to be additional
interventions in this area, noting that originally the plan was to complete the regional treatment
and not do this on a development-by-development basis.
Mr. Elkin stated that with regard to regional water quality projects, the area is divided into pipe
sheds, and projects are completed related to the level of treatment needed in each of these pipe
sheds. He added the west side of Beltline is a different pipe shed, so it will need a different
treatment versus the east side of Beltline. Ms. Heiser added staff will continue to look for regional
treatment opportunities in all areas.
Councilmember Brausen compared this project to 230 rain gardens and the similar costs. He noted
that if the results are similar, this would not be a realistic alternative. Mr. Harmening added that
rain gardens also are not necessarily sustainable over the long-term, and while they are great, they
are not a substitute for this project.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the cost estimate includes removal of contaminated soil. Ms.
Heiser stated yes. Councilmember Sanger asked if the reduction of 30 lbs. of phosphorus per year
is a large amount or a little amount. Mr. Elkin stated that is a large amount.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the skateboard park was not built there, would the scope and cost
go down. Mr. Elkin stated it would not, noting the cost benefit based on the size of the skate park
was all factored in on the size of the system.
Councilmember Sanger stated she thinks this is a better location for the skate park, but noted she
was not sure if the skate park construction contributed to this project. Ms. Heiser stated that the
city would need to build a system for the skate park wherever it was located, so there is some
synergy with both projects being done together. However, they could also be done independent of
each other.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if nothing is done, will the phosphorous continue to go into Bass
Lake. Ms. Heiser stated that was correct. Councilmember Hallfin asked if every time the city builds
something impervious, if stormwater treatment needs to be completed somewhere. Mr. Elkin stated
that is correct.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: Study Session Minutes of September 26, 2016
Councilmember Miller asked what the dollar amount is of the grant being applied for. Ms. Heiser
stated it is for around $200,000.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if there are storm water funds to pay for this project or if it requires
additional funding. Mr. Harmening stated the cost will be reflected in the rate changes.
Mayor Spano stated he is supportive of moving forward on the project and asked if it will address
some of the parking lot flooding, most recently in the city hall/police department parking lot. Mr.
Elkin stated that this will be looked at as a part of the design.
Councilmember Mavity noted another issue at the end of Brook Lane, where there is standing
water and run off that enters the creek untreated. She noted it needs to be addressed. Staff indicated
that they would look into it.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Mr. Harmening updated the City Council on the council workshop scheduled for the end of
January, 2017. He added he will send a survey to council to ask them to think about focus topics
to cover and ask them to return their ideas to him. Staff will then compile these topics and present
them to the council in order to come to an agreement on what topics to address at the workshop,
in order to make it as productive as possible.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Second Reading of 2017 Fee Ordinance
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
establishing fees for 2017 as outlined in Appendix A of the City Code of Ordinances; and to
approve the summary ordinance for publication.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council agree with the proposed revisions to the fee
schedule to reflect fee adjustments for programs and services called for by ordinance?
SUMMARY: Each year our fees are reviewed by departments prior to renewal and as part of our
budget process. Some fees must be set and adjusted in accordance with our ordinance; other fees
are allowed to be set administratively. All fees are reviewed each year based on comparison to
other cities in the metro area, changes in regulations and to make sure our business costs are
covered for such service. At the October 10, 2016 Study Session, Council received a written report
which included all proposed citywide fees for 2017.
Fees called for within individual provisions of the St. Louis Park City Code are to be set by
ordinance and listed as Appendix A. On October 17, 2016, Council held a public hearing and
approved the first reading of the Appendix A. fee schedule and set second reading for November
7, 2016. If approved, fee changes will be effective January 1, 2017.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The proposed fee increases have been
incorporated into the proposed 2017 budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 670: Authorize Removal of Permit Parking at 3145 Idaho Ave. S.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the elimination of
permit parking restrictions in front of 3145 Idaho Avenue South.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with City policy.
SUMMARY: The City has a program for authorizing permit parking for residents who have a
medical need for parking adjacent to their homes. Once authorized and installed, permit parking is
maintained indefinitely. Each year, staff contacts residents who currently have permit parking to
ensure that it is still required.
We have been informed the permit parking for this property is no longer needed. Aside from
removing the sign, the final step is to rescind the original resolution authorizing the permit parking.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost of removing these controls is
minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Hennepin County Youth Sports Grant - Skate Park
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the submission of the
Hennepin County Youth Sports Grant Application in the amount of $100,000 to help with funding
for the construction of a new skate park.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Should the city apply for the Hennepin County Youth Sports
Grant to potentially help with funding for the skate park?
SUMMARY: The Hennepin County Youth Sports Program provides grants to local governments
to improve youth athletics and recreational facilities. The State of Minnesota law authorizing the
construction of Target Field allows Hennepin County to use proceeds from the 0.15% sales tax
surcharge to award over $2 million each year for sports facilities and equipment. If awarded
funding, grant funds must be matched dollar for dollar by the City.
The skate park is due for replacement in 2016 per the Capital Improvement Plan and the life span
of the skate park. The new skate park will reside in the southwest corner of Carpenter Park. City
staff is requesting to apply for the Hennepin County Youth Sports Grant to help with the funding
for the skate park.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The grant request would be for $100,000 to
add to the allotted amount that has been approved in the Capital Improvement Plan. The total
amount of this project is projected to be $200,000. The City’s portion of this is budgeted in the
Park Improvement fund.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment Related to Fences
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
amending Chapter 36 of the St. Louis Park Code of Ordinances relating to zoning to amend
regulations pertaining to fences, and to approve the ordinance summary for publication.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the council wish to amend the ordinance pertaining to
fences?
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting an amendment to the Zoning Code that proposes to:
1. Establish a list of materials that can be used to construct a fence.
2. Establish a list of materials that cannot be used to construct a fence.
3. Provide for exceptions to the design criteria.
4. Make other various clarifications.
Planning Commission Review: The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July
20, 2016. At that meeting, the Planning Commission directed staff to discuss the fence regulations
at a study session. The study session was conducted on August 3, 2016 where the Planning
Commission discussed the approved and prohibited materials list. The Planning Commission
completed its review on October 5, 2016, and recommended approval.

Title: Second Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment Related to Fences
DISCUSSION
REQUEST: Staff is requesting an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that proposes to establish
and clarify materials that can be used to construct a fence.
BACKGROUND: At the July 20, 2016 planning commission meeting, staff presented a zoning
ordinance amendment that proposed the following:
1. Establish and clarify materials that can be used to construct a fence.
2. Update the maximum size accessory building that can be constructed without a building
permit.
3. Increase the size maximum allowed for signs in the R-4 Multiple-Family Residence district.
4. Decrease the minimum setback required for signs at schools, community centers, libraries,
religious institutions, and other similar uses.
The planning commission closed the public hearing, and forwarded a recommendation to the city
council for each item, except those amendments pertaining to fences. The planning commission
asked staff to bring that amendment back to them at a future study session.
The planning commission discussed fences at the August 3, 2016 study session. The commission
discussed the material requirements, and directed staff to bring the amendment back to the
planning commission for formal recommendation. On October 5, 2016, the commission
recommended the city council approve the proposed fence amendments.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE: From time-to-time, staff receives a call expressing concern over
the type of material a neighbor used to build their fence. Staff has been taking note of the concerns
and has drafted the proposed amendment to address the concerns. Staff believes the amendment
provides a balance between a variety of acceptable materials, aesthetics, and safety.
In summary, the ordinance allows fences to be constructed of wood, metal, bricks, masonry, rigid
plastic or other materials designed for permanent outdoor fencing. It also states that wood fences
must be constructed of cedar, redwood, or other naturally or pressure treated decay resistant wood.
The intent is to avoid using wood that is not designed to withstand the effects of weather.
The ordinance prohibits fences from being constructed of hazardous materials such as razor or
barbed wire. It prohibits electrical fences, and materials that are not intended for outdoor use.
Chain link or metal wire fencing is limited to 11-gauge in diameter or larger.
Exceptions to the materials are listed in certain circumstances. For example, snow fences are
permitted between November 1 and April 15 by certain uses, such as public buildings, schools,
golf courses, etc. Chicken wire is allowed when used to enclose a garden or chicken coop and run.
Revisions: As a result of the planning commission’s discussion, staff made changes to the
exceptions section of the design standards. The exceptions address specific circumstances where
temporary fencing is required that won’t meet the standards, such as construction sites.
An exception was also added to provide opportunities for residents to use materials that do not
meet the design requirements. The exception proposes to allow materials to be used in a patio or
landscaping setting intended to provide minimal screening or for decorative purposes. Staff is
recommending this exception apply only in the side and rear yards, and that a three foot setback
be applied. The three foot setback is consistent with the setback required for ornamental structures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Approve Amendment to Consultant Contract for Texas Avenue Municipal State Aid
(MSA) - Project No. 4017-1101
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize execution of an amendment to a professional
services contract with Kimley Horn in the amount of $625,340 for the Texas Avenue Municipal
State Aid (MSA) Rehabilitation Project - (Highway 7 to Minnetonka Blvd) Project No. 4017-1101.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue to implement the city’s
Pavement Management Program?
SUMMARY: In 2017, Texas Avenue between Highway 7 and Minnetonka Boulevard is proposed
to be reconstructed. CenterPoint Energy will be replacing their 24 inch gas main in the corridor
beginning next spring. This street is an important north/south route in the City and is designated
as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) road which makes it eligible for state funding (gas tax dollars).
In order to qualify for funding, the road needs to be constructed to state aid standards.
A consultant is needed for the final design and construction administration of the Texas Avenue
rehabilitation project in order to deliver this project in 2017. Kimley Horn has been very responsive
in completing the preliminary layouts in the original contract and they have successfully completed
worked for the City before.
The final design for this project is expected to be completed by February of 2017 with construction
completion by November of 2017.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for 2017. Funding will be provided by a combination of MSA, Utility
funds, and General Obligation Bonds (Connect the Park).

Title: Approve Amendment to Consultant Contract for MSA Construction - Texas Ave - Project No. 4017-1101
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: In 2017, Texas Avenue between Highway 7 and Minnetonka Boulevard is
proposed to be reconstructed. CenterPoint Energy will also be replacing their 24” gas main in the
corridor. This road serves many residents and is an important north/ south route in the City. This
road is also a Municipal State Aid (MSA) road which is eligible for state gas tax dollars during
reconstruction projects. In order to qualify for funding, the road needs to be constructed to state
aid standards. The City Council approved moving forward with Concept 2 at the October 17th City
Council meeting. This concept will allow one traffic lane in each direction, bike lanes, parking on
both sides of the street and curb bump outs.
Contract Amendment:
Kimley Horn and Associates was awarded the original contract for this project on June 6, 2016 for
$195,200. This contract was for preliminary design (30% plans) and did not include final design
or construction services. The reason for not including final design or construction services with
the original contract is due to not having a defined scope of work. At the time of the original
contract we did not know if the third traffic lane was going to be necessary or how the project may
change due to public input. Now that the scope is defined the consultant is able to provide an
amendment to the contract to provide consultant services through construction completion. Please
see contract total below.
AMOUNT
Original Contract $195,200
Amendment #1 $625,340
Total Kimley Horn Contract $820,540
The estimated construction cost for this project is $3,500,715. The contract for engineering
services with this amendment will be 23% of the estimated construction cost. Industry standard
for engineering costs on construction projects can range from 20% to 35% depending on the
complexity of the project. Staff has a high expectation for resident support and responsiveness
from the consultant. The consultant will be meeting with individual property owners to address
final design questions and providing day to day construction observation services during
construction. Texas Avenue is a Municipal State Aid street, there are many facets of the project
that will require coordination with MnDOT, Hennepin County, Xcel Energy, and CenterPoint
Energy. As a result, we believe that the contract cost is consistent with the scope and demands of
this project.
Proposed Schedule:
The following is the proposed project schedule:
1. Open House #3 January 2017
2. Final design complete February 2017
3. Approve plans and specs and authorize ad for bid February 20, 2017
4. Award contract March 20, 2017
5. Start construction May 2017

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Extend Contract for Water Meter Replacement Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Change Order No. 2 to Contract/Project No.
5015-5001, extending the contract for the Water Meter Replacement project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the extension of the contract to install the additional data
collectors and resolve the software concerns in the best interests of the city?
SUMMARY: On February 17, 2015, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of
$3,423,102.70 to Ferguson Waterworks for the Water Meter Replacement Project – Project No.
5015-5001. The project was to replace approximately 12,800 residential meters and 800
commercial and irrigation meters. Notice to proceed was given to Ferguson Waterworks on March
24, 2015, with a substantial project completion date of June 30, 2016. On June 6, 2016, Council
approved a contract extension to October 31, 2016.
Ferguson has now made their way through the entire city having replaced approximately all but
20 of the 12,800 residential meters. City crews will replace those remaining 20 meters. Ferguson
will continue to replace the remaining meters in 100 multi-family properties. As of November 1,
Ferguson has notified all commercial property owners and have replaced about 640 of the 800
commercial meters. They will continue to replace the remaining 160 commercial meters. Due to
extensive outreach efforts by staff and the council, only two occupied homes required shutting off
their water service and both were turned on within 24 hours due to the homeowners call to replace
their meters.
Ferguson Waterworks has requested a second contract extension to allow time to complete the
installation of three additional data collectors and to implement, test, and train staff on a new
version of the accompanying water meter software program. Staff has reviewed the extension
request with the contractor and feels the proposed extension to both the substantial and final
completion dates is acceptable. All other terms of the contract will remain the same.

Title: Extend Contract for Water Meter Replacement Project
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On February 17, 2015, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of
$3,423,102.70 to Ferguson Waterworks for the Water Meter Replacement Project – Project No.
5015-5001. The project was to replace approximate 12,800 residential meters and 800 commercial
and irrigation meters. The project is being funded through the 2015 and 2016 water and sewer
budgets. Notice to proceed was given to the Contractor, Ferguson Waterworks, on March 24, 2015.
Ferguson has now made their way through the entire city having replaced approximately all but
approximately 20 of the 12,800 residential meters. Due to extensive outreach efforts by staff and
the Council, only two occupied homes required shutting off their water service. Those homes had
water service restored within 24 hours after scheduling meter replacement. City crews have been
and will continue to replace the remaining residential meters.
Additionally, as of November 1, Ferguson has notified all commercial property owners and have
replaced about 640 of the 800 commercial meters. Remaining commercial property owners will
go through the same shutoff notification procedures used with the nonresponsive residential
property owners. Ferguson will also continue to replace the meters in the remaining 100 multi-
family properties.
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: Ferguson Waterworks has requested a second contract
extension to allow time to complete the installation of three additional data collectors and to
implement, test, and train staff on a new version of the accompanying water meter software program.
In late summer it was determined additional data collectors would be needed. As sites were
finalized, staff determined the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process would be necessary on two
of them. The first requested CUP, for installation at Benilde-St. Margaret’s (BSM) ballfield
lighting, was approved October 17, 2016. A second CUP, for installation at the City’s Brick House,
will be submitted for Council approval on December 19. The third site, on top the water reservoir
tank at the City’s Water Treatment Plant #6 (Zarthan and 42nd) did not require a CUP and is already
complete. Installation at the BSM site is expected to be complete by mid-November. Installation
at the Westwood Hills Nature Center Brick House location expected to be complete by late-
December. The proposed substantial completion date reflects the time needed to complete the
antenna installation.
Unfortunately, implementation of the accompanying software program has not gone smoothly.
The stability of the program has been an issue with frequent slow-downs, forced logouts and
crashes. Although Ferguson Waterworks has worked with the manufacture, Neptune, to improve
the stability of the program, its long term success is still questionable. At the request of the City,
Ferguson Waterworks has agreed to continue to maintain the software program until the next
version, 5.5, has been implemented and proven successful over an eight-month testing period. The
proposed final completion date reflects the time needed to implement and test Version 5.5.

All other terms of the Contract will remain the same. Approximately $230K, or 20% of the $1.16M
contract installation amount, will be held in retainage until the software issues are resolved.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Final Payment Resolution- Sealcoat - Project No. 4016-1200
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting work and authorizing final
payment in the amount of $28,707.35 for Project No. 4016-1200 Sealcoat with Allied Blacktop
Company, City Contract No. 75-16.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Not Applicable
SUMMARY: On April 18, 2016, the City Council awarded the bid for the Sealcoat Project - City
Project No. 4016-1200. The project was advertised, bid and awarded to Allied Blacktop Company
in the amount of $360,172.79. This project included sealcoating selected streets in Pavement
Management Area 1 which are comprised of the Texa Tonka, Oak Hill, Lenox, and Cobblecrest
neighborhoods.
The Contractor completed this work within the contract time allowed (10 days) at a final contract
cost of $285,900.72. After the project was awarded, 28th Street, between Texas and Louisiana,
was removed from the contract which resulted in an underrun of $74,272.07. This segment was
removed because there is a proposed bikeway that has not been approved by the Council.
Sealcoating the street will eliminate the existing striping and allow for a change in striping
configuration at a lower cost to the City. Staff believed it was best to wait until a decision was
made on the bikeway so that this potential cost savings can be realized. There were no change
orders associated with this contract.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The cost of the work performed by the contractor under Contract No. 75-16 has been calculated as
follows:
Original Contract Price $360,172.79
Underruns $ 74,272.07
Contract Amount $285,900.72
Previous Payments $257,193.37
Balance Due $ 28,707.35
This project was included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The work on local streets
will be paid for using the Pavement Management Fund. Municipal State Aid streets that were
sealcoated are funded by the Public Works Operations budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Approve Stormwater Agreement with R & N Real Estate for Hwy 7/Louisiana Ave
Interchange Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve stormwater management agreement with R
and N Real Estate, LLC. for Parcel 12 at 3501 Louisiana Avenue and authorize the City Attorney
to execute the agreement.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: This action is consistent with previous direction given by
Council as part of the Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project (Project 2012-0100).
SUMMARY: At the July 16, 2012 City Council meeting, Council approved a resolution
Authorizing Condemnation of Land for Public Purposes for the Highway 7/ Louisiana Avenue
Interchange Project. Prior to that action, specific right of way needs were determined and
appraisals for seven identified properties were conducted. As a result, the City Attorney
commenced eminent domain proceedings pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 117 to acquire
the necessary land over the seven properties identified.
Parcel 12 is located along the northeast corner of Louisiana Avenue and Walker Street and the
acquisition attained from this property was needed to accommodate the new roundabout at this
intersection. This acquisition settlement is the sixth settlement purchase of the condemnation
proceedings. Negotiations and condemnation settlements are still proceeding on one other
property, Louisiana Oaks Apartments. When the negotiations are finalized this remaining property,
similar purchase authorizations will be presented to Council.
Included in the settlement of Parcel 12 with R and N Real Estate is a stormwater management
agreement for their stormwater. The reason for this agreement is their existing pond was removed
by the City for the construction of the northern roundabout on the Highway 7 and Louisiana
Avenue Interchange Project.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City is already responsible for the
maintenance of the stormwater pond located across Walker Street therefore no additional financial
resources will be needed by signing this agreement.

Title: Approve Stormwater Agreement with R & N Real Estate for Hwy 7/Louisiana Ave Interchange Project
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On July 16, 2012, the City commenced eminent domain proceedings to
acquire permanent and temporary construction easements from R and N Real Estate, LLC’s
property (Parcel 12) for purposes in connection with the Trunk Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue
Right of Way project. The City’s initial appraisal was in the amount of $82,200. After back and
forth negotiation, R and N Real Estate, LLC agreed to settle the matter for a lump sum of $130,500.
The purchase of this land was approved at the August 15, 2016 City Council meeting. This amount
includes compensation for the permanent and temporary construction easements and construction
interference, statutorily required reimbursement for R and N Real Estate LLC’s appraisal, and
costs. R and N Real Estate, LLC has agreed to waive any claims for attorney’s fees.
R and N Real Estate, LLC has also requested an acknowledgement from the City that it will accept
storm water from its property due to the loss of a storm water pond it owned that had to be removed
as part of the project. The City is already accepting storm water from the property and is treating
the water in the City storm pond across Walker Street. The storm pond across Walker Street was
installed with the Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project. The stormwater
agreement R and N Real Estate is requesting is attached. James Monge an attorney from Campbell
Knutson has reviewed this agreement for the City.

4. Adoption of Agenda
It was moved by Commissioner Browning, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to
approve the agenda as presented. The motion passed 5-0.
5. Public Comment - None
6. New Business
A. City Council strategic goals and role for Telecommunications Advisory
Commission
Ms. Larson said that the Commission discussed the need for strategic direction at the last
meeting, and at that time she mentioned that the City Council had set strategic priorities
and goals for the next several years. The executive summary from the Council report on
October 19 listed all the goals, and the one that pertains to the Commission is making St.
Louis Park a technology connected community. There is a work plan for that goal put
together by the City’s Chief Information Officer, Clint Pires, which Ms. Larson reviewed
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 2
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes May 11, 2016
to identify progress made and which ones could benefit from Commission participation
and assistance.
Starting with Researching Strategic Options, this goal could use Commission assistance
since it’s a big idea. Ms. Larson said that she knows Commissioners exchange ideas so
please let staff know if you see ideas that we should be pursuing.
Goal number two is supporting public and private schools and community education
initiatives, which is another goal where the Commission could help.
Goal number three is encouraging private market consumer choices, and CenturyLink is
now available in the community, and thanks to the work of the Commissioners who
participated in that process. Ms. Larson said that U.S. Internet is leasing some of the
City’s fiber to build a network to serve all of St. Louis Park in the next 4 to 5 years,
which is something the City Council has been hoping for a number of years.
Ms. Larson said goal number four is integrating new private carrier technology, and CIO
Pires has been very involved with small cell and distributed antenna systems. The City’s
Engineering, Community Development and Operations Departments have all worked
together to position those throughout the City. Chair Peterson asked for an explanation
about mini cell and micro cells, and Commissioner Browning said they were to expand
coverage and improve speed. Ms. Larson said that one City goal is to deploy these
antennas in an aesthetically pleasing manner, so for example, in the West End they were
deployed on poles between the banners, so they were hidden.
Ms. Larson said goal number five is to support or build broadband infrastructure and
target private development opportunities. This is most easily done on public projects like
the pavement management program and Connect the Park, where the City is installing
new trails and sidewalks and broadband capacity at the same time. There have been
collaborations with private developments as well, at West End, Central Park West, the
Millennium, and Marriot AC. In addition the City has added Wi-Fi in the parks for users
and for security measures, and this year Aquila and Oak Hill will add that capacity.
Ms. Larson said goal number six is to support community technology applications for
enhanced livability of all age groups, and CIO Pires described this as the Holy Grail. She
said we’d like the Commission’s help on this to use broadband to improve quality of life,
so there could be a survey or some other way to pursue this.
Ms. Larson said goal number seven is to maximize speed of broadband deployment. CIO
Pires is working with Arvig as the first company to lease public broadband capacity.
Ms. Larson said goal number eight is to enhance private development broadband
readiness. She said that even without a City ordinance requirement, broadband
agreements have been reached with five new developments to offer one gigabit service to
each unit in those projects, including Arlington Row, the Shoreham, the West End,
Central Park West, and 4900 Excelsior, the site of the old Bally’s building.
Commissioner Browning said that he is very interested in a survey of the community
since it’s been a while since that’s been done. Ms. Larson suggested a couple of ways to
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 3
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes May 11, 2016
do surveys that would be helpful but not scientific samples: using Survey Monkey or
Next Door, which are online tools.
Commissioner Browning asked about focus groups, and if they had been used. Mr.
Dunlap said that the fiber study in 2012 used them and that several commissioners were
involved. Chair Peterson said that he likes using online tools, but also wants to explore
reaching others, like with a telephone survey the way Decision Resources used to do for
the School District. Commissioner Browning said many folks don’t like telemarketers,
even if it’s for a good cause. Mr. McHugh said that the City has initiatives that may also
help reach the un-wired, like Coffee with a Cop, and Coffee with the Mayor.
Chair Peterson asked if there has been a meeting between Mr. Pires and the School
District yet, and said he’d love to participate because of his close ties with community ed.
B. Comcast Quarter 1 compiled complaint log
Mr. Dunlap said that Comcast representatives have attended the last several Commission
meetings and talked about hiring 400 more telephone reps to improve customer service.
He showed a chart listing 2014 and 2015 complaints in various categories, 2015 and 2016
first quarter complaints, and a projected total for 2016. The most common complaint was
about billing, with 9 in quarter one which projects to 36 for 2016, comparable to last
year’s 38. The total complaints so far are 27, which projects to 108 for the year, which
would be an improvement over 130 received in 2014 and 126 received in 2015.
Mr. Dunlap prepared a list of options, which included monitoring, requesting call center
records for St. Louis Park, providing notice to Comcast that the City intends to enforce
FCC customer service standards, or directing staff to review other cities to see if they
have customer service ordinances.
Commissioner Browning said that he reviewed the redesigned Comcast bill which may
help with problems with billing. The bills look easier to read and have more explanation.
Chair Peterson agreed, said we should continue to monitor, and an ordinance seems to be
a bit drastic.
Commissioner Browning said the call records for St. Louis Park would be useful, and that
he agreed with Chair Peterson that an ordinance should be a last resort.
Mr. McHugh said that he thought that Comcast could break out the call records by FCC
ID number, which is listed on the bill. He said it would be good to know what other
communities are doing, but that he doesn’t feel we need to enact a customer service
ordinance. Chair Peterson agreed that a summary would be useful.
Mr. McHugh said the Comcast Escalation Team that handles the complaints that come to
City staff is a great customer service asset.
Commissioner Anderson asked if we had any information about CenturyLink customer
service yet, and whether or not the City has received any complaints about them yet? Mr.
Dunlap said that several complaints had been received about them.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 4
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes May 11, 2016
Commissioner Keeler said that 97 complaint calls for Comcast out of 13,000 customers
was a rate of point seven percent.
C. Comcast price increase June 1 for select TV & internet services
Mr. Dunlap said that as a result of competition, the City no longer has authority over the
Basic cable rates. As a result the increase in the Broadcast TV fee from $1.50 to $4.50
per month is a $3 increase for all Basic cable customers. Most customers will also have
to pay an additional $2 for the Regional Sports fee, so that’s a $5 increase between those
two fees. It was a surprise to see how much some of the installation and service call fees
increased. For example, the hourly service charge to add another outlet increased from
$34.50 to $70 which is significant. The bottom line is that customers that need any
service should ask what it will cost in advance, since those fees have changed.
The bit of good news is that the price of premium channels is dropping, from $19.99 to
$15 for HBO and $10 for the others.
Mr. Dunlap said that the new price information is now listed on the City’s web site and
demonstrated how to find it, at parktv.org and select, cable TV information.
Commissioner Keeler said that rate regulation went away as a result of the FCC ruling on
Effective Competition last fall.
Mr. McHugh said that a handful of communities did meet the 15% threshold for small
dish effective competition, including Shakopee.
D. Comcast HD enhancements and set-top box exchanges
Mr. Dunlap said that this was discussed in detail at the last meeting, and the deadline was
coming soon so he put it on the agenda. For customers with an old Comcast converter
box, they may see a message that says, please call this number or your channels may go
away. Some of these boxes need to be replaced because they use the older MPEG2
compression system which Comcast is replacing with MPEG4. He said if customers see
that message they should act soon or they’ll lose some channels, and that they can bring
the box to the Excelsior Boulevard office to get a new one. That office is open seven
days per week.
Commissioner Browning said that the swap does not include an extra fee, and asked how
it was going. Mr. Dunlap said that Ms. Hensing said at the February meeting that each
affected customer would be notified up to five times.
E. Review staff report on CenturyLink first quarter (establish baseline of possible
Prism customers, set the standard for 15% additional buildout)
Mr. Dunlap said that 30% of St. Louis Park living units can receive CenturyLink’s Prism
TV service, and 74% can receive internet speeds fast enough to receive TV service after
CenturyLink does some additional work.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 4l) Page 5
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes May 11, 2016
CenturyLink has nine times as many customers as they did at the beginning of the quarter
so they are beginning to have some market success. Also, they have data to prove that
they are not just cherry picking in the most expensive neighborhoods, that a significant
portion of their households served earn less than the median income in the City.
Mr. Dunlap said the encoders have been installed to allow ParkTV channels to be seen in
CenturyLink households. By late July or early August, new equipment will be installed
in the control room to allow three ParkTV channels to be seen in HD glory, which will be
very nice for the high school sports when they return in the fall.
Chair Peterson said that two neighborhoods in St. Louis Park are capable of fiber to the
home, and he looked to see if there were any houses for sale in those neighborhoods
because it was a dream of his to have fiber to the home. The areas are by Westwood and
South Oak Hill.
F. Complaint logs
Commissioner Browning said that the CenturyLink complaints are very similar to the
Comcast complaints.
7. Communication from the Chair, Commissioners and City Staff
Chair Peterson said that tonight is the last meeting for three Commissioners. Dale
Hartman has served since 1999, and has been a valuable resource for City staff on things
electrical or electronic. Toby Keeler has been a Commissioner since 2008, and has been
one of the most active Commissioners, including serving as a MACTA Board member.
Also Andrew Reinhardt, who was appointed in 2014 and was vice-chair last year. Chair
Peterson thanked all three Commissioners on behalf of the City for their service.
8. Adjournment
Commissioner Browning made a motion, Commission Keeler seconded to adjourn at
7:55. The motion passed.

Tour of CenturyLink Head End in Golden Valley
Commissioners met in the parking lot on the east side of the building about 6:50 p.m., and Mr.
Janssen and Mr. Crowe escorted Commissioners and staff to the room where the Prism
equipment racks were located. The large room once housed wireless equipment, but in the last 18
months the Prism TV racks and equipment was installed.
Mr. Janssen gave and overview of the Prism TV architecture and fielded questions. The cable
networks enter the building on fiber from a regional office in Columbia, Missouri on redundant
10 gigabit fiber inputs. The basis for all of their networks is to have multiple paths and
equipment so that there is no down time. A video aggregator system converts all the channels to
IP (internet protocol) video, which routes it to the network.
The networks have built in monitoring of the many channels, and the staff in Denver has access
to be able to remotely monitor any of them in case a problem is reported. Down the road, that
contact information will be provided to City staff, but it isn’t necessary at the moment because
Prism TV isn’t installed in City Hall.
Mr. Janssen showed the racks where the local PEG (Public, Educational and Government)
channel encoders were installed, and pointed out several spare encoders in case they were ever
needed. Mr. Haggerty said that CenturyLink now has activated 84 PEG channels and passed
260,000 homes in the metro area.
Mr. Janssen moved the group to another set of racks which held dozens of HP servers.
Commissioner Browning asked about their compression scheme, and said the HD demos looked
excellent. Mr. Janssen said they used MPEG4 compression to put a 24 MHz channel into 5.2
MHz of bandwidth. Mr. Janssen said that 30 of the channels now have a replay server option,
which means if the viewer sees an icon on those channels in the bottom right corner of the
screen, they can start the program over at the beginning. The down side is that they cannot fast
forward through commercials.

Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes July 27, 2016
There were many questions raised by Commissioners and staff, and CenturyLink staff answered
all of them.
Next the group moved to a quiet room with two monitors and several work stations. ParkTV
channel 16 was displayed on one of the monitors, and on request, Mr. Crowe switched to the
Minneapolis, Coon Rapids, Edina and Bloomington government channels to show that they were
carried in HD.
The group then moved to a lunch room area to see a splicing demonstration by Mr. Jerome.
Along the route, Mr. Dunlap asked about the racks that were in cages, and Mr. Haggerty said that
was the CLEC’s (competitive local exchange companies) equipment to allow competitors on the
CenturyLink network, and that CenturyLink staff was locked out of those areas. Mr. Jerome
explained that splicing fiber was much easier now, using smaller and less expensive splicing
equipment because the fiber was much easier to work with. Chair Peterson said that the
preparation for splicing now takes a fraction of the time and expertise. Mr. Jerome showed the
tiny fiber strands, which are about the size of a hair and are color coded for easier matching
when splicing. Mr. Crowe said that the manufacturer, Corning Wear, supplied fiber cable with
pre-made connectors, so that aerial plant installation and repairs were efficient and easy.
Commissioner Browning asked if CenturyLink used single strand or multiplex fiber? Mr.
Janssen said that they used all single mode because it was more reliable.
Commissioners and staff thanked the CenturyLink staff for the tour and for answering all their
questions, and left the building at 8:20 p.m.

Title: 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution
DISCUSSION
Benefit Overview
The City has a Benefits Committee that consists of employees represented by all departments and
all union groups. The purpose of the committee is to educate staff on benefits and to get feedback
on what staff is interested in seeing in our benefits design. The Benefits Committee assists with
gathering information on potential benefit designs; they do not provide input on specific funding
amounts for employer contribution.
Medical Insurance (no plan changes; 4.82% aggregate premium increase)
The City has been insured through HealthPartners since 2012. We went out for a formal bid for
2014 in accordance with state statute, which requires this every five years (we will need to do
another formal bid no later than 2018 for 2019 plans).
For 2017, we requested a renewal quote from HealthPartners, rather than pursuing formal bids.
Our benefits consultant worked with HealthPartners and was able to obtain a two year agreement
with HealthPartners for single digit increases in both years with no changes to our currently offered
plan designs. For 2017, rates will increase an aggregate of 4.82%, and for 2018, rates will increase
no more than 9%. Staff are very pleased with this two year renewal quote, as we had estimated a
12% increase for 2017 and had assumed 12% in preliminary budget figures. Council approved the
two year agreement with HealthPartners via a consent item on October 17, 2016.

Employee $ 859.50

VEBA Refresher
The City continues to offer a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) with a VEBA funding
mechanism in coordination with the High Deductible Health Plans. The deductibles vary
depending on plan chosen (from $2500 per person with a $5000 family maximum to $4500 per
person with a $9000 family maximum). Employer VEBA contributions will be placed in a trust
in an individual’s name and funds will be available for reimbursement of eligible medical
expenses. VEBA funds not spent will stay with the individual and roll over each year for future
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution
expenses. VEBA funds are set aside tax-free, earn tax-free interest, and are reimbursed tax-free.
The VEBA account stays with the individual after they leave employment and can be used for
reimbursement of qualified medical expenses.
Dental Insurance (no premium change)
2017 is the second year of our two year contract with Delta Dental. There is no increase in rates
for 2017, and there are no changes to the plan design. This is a voluntary plan for our employees.
Dental Insurance Monthly Premiums
(0% increase for 2017)
2017
Employee $ 45.28
Employee + Spouse $ 91.04
Employee + Child(ren) $ 85.60
Family $109.76
Long Term Disability (LTD) (no premium change for 2017, 2018, 2019)
We are pleased to continue to offer LTD to all staff at no cost to the employee. This benefit
provides income continuation at 60% of pre-disability earnings for anyone who becomes ill or
injured and unable to resume work after a six month waiting period. We requested formal bids
from carriers this year to realize cost savings of bundling LTD and life insurance. We received a
favorable bid from Cigna (our current LTD vendor) to continue our LTD coverage with no rate
increase for three years.
Life Insurance (program change for 2017; equalization of program offered to all employees)
Life insurance is a benefit that still has different levels of coverage based on an employee’s exempt
or non-exempt status. Currently, exempt and non-exempt employees purchase a basic/mandatory
life insurance benefit of $10,000, and exempt employees receive an additional city-paid basic life
insurance amount of 1.5 times their salary. Our goal in the past several years has been to equalize
benefits between exempt and non-exempt employees. As mentioned in the previous paragraph,
this year we requested formal bids from carriers to realize the cost savings of bundling our life
insurance and LTD, and explore the possibility of equalizing the basic life insurance benefit. The
most favorable bid came from Cigna which provides a basic life insurance benefit (city-paid) to
all benefit-earning employees of 1.5 times their salary. Employees also have the option to purchase
additional supplemental insurance (up to $500,000), and spouse and dependent life insurance as
well. There is no change to the supplemental insurance rates or plan design, and there is a three
year rate guarantee. The additional cost of this enhanced benefit is $42,764 in 2017. Staff is very
pleased with the opportunity to equalize the life insurance benefit, and funds for the enhanced
benefit to non-exempt employees are available in the budget due to the lower than anticipated
health insurance renewal.
Deferred Compensation (continue with current program; no change recommended)
The City offers several deferred compensation programs (457 plans). Deferred compensation is a
program that allows employees to invest today for retirement. This is a voluntary program for
employees, with an employer match of $10 per pay period to non-union staff with a minimum
employee contribution of $50 per pay period (Resolution 12-044). This has also been negotiated
into union contracts.
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Title: 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution
2017 Employer Contribution Recommendation
An extensive employee task force was convened in the summer of 2014 to review employee input
on employee benefit programs. The result of those meetings was a recommendation to provide
tiered employer contribution funding which provided more funding to those who need to insure
dependents. The following explains how the funding is developed.
How is the “Employee Only” employer contribution calculated?
The funding structure that was implemented based on employee input provides for 100% coverage
of the $2500 high deductible premium with leftover funds available so that employees could
purchase voluntary benefits. The monthly calculation for 2017 is as follows:
100% premium for $2500 HDHP $692.50
100% premium for dental insurance $ 45.28
$50/pay period in deferred compensation $108.33
TOTAL EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION: $846.11
ROUNDED TO NEAREST $5: $845.00
$845 is the recommended employer contribution for all employees who choose “employee only”
coverage for health insurance, except those who choose the co-pay plan will receive $885 per
month (frozen contribution from 2014 so that employees do not receive less).
How is the “Employee Only” VEBA contribution calculated?
The VEBA contribution only applies to employees who choose to participate in a high deductible
health plan. The employer contribution to the VEBA is recommended to be 100% of the employee
only deductible in the $2500 high deductible plan. This is $2500 per year, or $208.34 per month.
Why are there leftover funds recommended for “Employee Only” coverage?
“Employee Only” coverage is the choice of a majority of our employees; over 70% of employees
choose this level of coverage. In order to encourage this group to voluntarily purchase a
comprehensive benefits package, the contribution level provides enough funds to do so.
Employees may choose to not use leftover funds to purchase dental insurance or make a deferred
compensation contribution if their needs in these areas are already met. In those circumstances,
employees may choose to use these funds to pay for deductibles, co-insurance payments, flexible
spending accounts, or other needs.
How is the employer contribution calculated for those who choose to cover dependents?
The funding structure that was implemented based on employee input provides for 70% funding
for the $2500 high deductible plan premium as employer contribution. The 2017 recommendation
continues the 70% employer funding level.
Employer Employer Paid % of
Tier of Coverage Contribution $2500 Deductible Plan Premium
Employee + Child(ren) $1,015/month 70%
Employee + Spouse $1,065/month 70%
Family $1,355/month 70%
How is the VEBA contribution calculated for those who choose to cover dependents?
The VEBA contribution only applies to employees who choose to participate in a high deductible
health plan. The employer contribution to the VEBA is recommended to be 70% of the “employee
City Council Meeting of November 7, 2016 (Item No. 8a) Page 5
Title: 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution
plus dependent” deductible in the $2500 high deductible plan, which is $5,000. 70% of $5000 is
$3500 per year, or $291.67 per month.
What is the big picture for 2017 employer contribution recommendation?
The chart below shows total employee and employer cost of the plan options offered. The
“Employee Cost” noted on the right is the difference between the “Employer Contribution” and
the “Premium”. The VEBA contribution cannot be used to offset premium cost.

Family $ 2,405.50 $1,355.00 -- $1,355.00 $ (1,050.50)
Benefit-earning part-time employees regularly scheduled to work 20-29 hours per week will be
eligible to receive a pro-rated (50%) employer contribution, and full 100% employer VEBA
contribution. Employees who choose to waive coverage will be eligible for a reduced employer
contribution that may be used to purchase other supplemental benefits in the amount of $155 (pro-
rated for part-time employees).

Title: 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution
There is also a change in 2017 that will reduce the employer contribution for employees who waive
medical coverage since it is not allowed under the Affordable Care Act. If an employee waives
medical coverage, they will receive an employer contribution equal to the amount of the dental
insurance premium and a deferred compensation contribution.
What is the latest on the Affordable Care Act?
Human Resources, the Benefits Committee, and our benefits consultant are staying current on
legislative issues surrounding the Affordable Care Act and its impact on the City of St. Louis
Park’s benefit programs. There are a few regulatory changes that our VEBA plan has had to make
to comply with new guidance. We will continue to monitor requirements in this area and develop
long term strategies to balance employee benefit needs with governmental regulations.
Budget Considerations
In early preparations for the 2017 budget, we anticipated a 12% increase in health insurance
premiums and had reserved approximately $235,380 in additional funds for the employer
contribution (all funds). With the favorable renewal and change in LTD/life carrier and program,
the overall budget impact will be approximately $108,104 (an overall reduction from our original
projection of approximately $127,276, all funds). We will incorporate this change in the 2017
budget recommendations.
Conclusion
Staff is pleased with the benefit programs we have been able to develop and offer. Staff feel that
the plans as outlined above will provide satisfactory and affordable options for coverage based on
individual needs.
