Discussion Item: 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Alternative Development Concept Plan for “The Elmwood”
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss an alternative development proposal for “The Elmwood”
and provide direction to the property owners and staff.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to pursue development of this site at
the proposed/revised 6 stories and 85 dwelling units, including 20 affordable dwelling units?
SUMMARY: 36th Street LLC has acquired 5605 W. 36th Street (36th Street Business Center/
American Legion) to develop “The Elmwood”, a mixed-use building marketed toward St. Louis
Park’s active residents aged 55+. The original proposal previously reviewed by the Council was a
5 story, 70 unit mixed-use apartment building on the 1 acre site with 10 percent (7 units) of the
units as affordable at 60% area median income (AMI). However, some members of council have
expressed an interest in a larger number of affordable units and have asked the developer if he is
able to increase the density to offer a greater number of affordable units. The revised proposal is
for a 6 story, 85 unit, mixed-use development with 23.5 percent (20 units) affordable at 60% AMI.
Due to the cost of additional parking, which can only be accommodated by a second level of
underground parking, the developer would be seeking an increased TIF amount if the 85 unit
alternative plan is pursued.
The developer and staff would like Council direction regarding this proposed change including:
Is Council supportive of the increased density and height?
Does the Council continue to support providing the development TIF assistance if it is
proven warranted?
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: In order for redevelopment to occur on the
site, TIF assistance will be needed. The exact amount of assistance that will be needed is not yet
known and depends on which development concept is chosen. An application for tax increment
assistance is pending to defray a portion of the building demolition, site preparation, and structured
parking costs.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

Special Study Session Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 2) Page 2
Title: Alternate Development Concept Plan for “The Elmwood”
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: 36th Street LLC is proposing “The Elmwood,” a mixed-use building marketed
toward St. Louis Park’s active senior residents to be located at 5606 W. 36th Street. The Elmwood
is located at the southeast corner of Xenwood Avenue and 36th Street West. Staff asked the owner
to consider an alternative concept plan for the development at the request of some members of
Council. The applicant wishes to discuss a revised concept plan for redeveloping the parcel with
City Council at a higher density than originally proposed in October 2016.
CURRENT PLANS: The applicant has revised the previous proposal of a 5 story, 70 unit mixed-
use building with 7 units (10%) available at 60% area median income (AMI) to a 6 story, 85 unit
mixed-use building with 20 units (23.5%) available at 60% AMI. Regardless of the density and
size, the development will be marketed toward an active population aged 55+.
Location: The site is one acre in size and located at Xenwood Avenue which is the north entrance
to the Burlington Coat Factory and Micro Center commercial center. It is located at one of the
primary entrances to this commercial center, and will be a highly visible building.
Special Study Session Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 2) Page 3
Title: Alternate Development Concept Plan for “The Elmwood”
Mix of Uses: The ground floor commercial would include 4,400 square feet of leasable
office/commercial space, a management office for the apartments, active spaces for tenants, and
six dwelling units, three of which front 36th Street. Ground floor active uses occupy 55 percent of
the 36th Street frontage. Active uses fronting 36th Street include the office/commercial space, the
primary residential entrance, an exercise space, a management office, and the building’s mail area.
Other ground floor active uses include a club room, a library/business center, a party room, bike
storage, and a yoga room. There will be DORA on the plaza and on the rooftop. The plaza DORA
will be approximately 8,350 square feet and the rooftop approximately 3,000 square feet. The
expanded underground parking may allow for a coffee shop or medical office uses in the
commercial space. The ground floor area would be essentially the same whether the 5 story or the
6 story building is constructed.
Unit Details: The unit mix for either concept consists of 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom,
and 2 bedroom + den units. The residential units are slightly larger than what is currently on the
market, averaging approximately 1,070 square feet, as the developer is gearing the project toward
residents who are looking to downsize from a single-family home to a long-term apartment.
Additionally the building will have a high percentage of two bedroom units with 53 units being
two bedroom or two bedroom plus den units in the 6 story concept and 43 units in the 5 story concept.
Parking: As proposed, the plans exceed the city’s parking requirements of 1 parking space per
bedroom and 1 parking space per 250 square feet of commercial. Based on the number of bedrooms
and commercial square footage in the 6 story concept, the city requires 156 stalls, and the applicant
is showing 217 in the plans. The increase in parking stalls is due to the construction of a second
below grade level of parking needed to accommodate the increase in dwelling units. The additional
parking also increases the range of uses that could be located in the commercial portion of the
building, including a coffee shop or medical office uses. These uses require 1 parking space per
200 square feet.
Of the 217 spaces, 9 are located on the street, 15 in a surface parking lot, and 147 in a below ground
parking garage. There is a designated loading area located on the east side of Xenwood Avenue.
Access & Circulation: Access and circulation would be the same as previously presented whether
the 5 story or 6 story concept is pursued.
Traffic: Traffic studies are normally not required for projects of this size. However, the city
commissioned a traffic study from SEH to examine the traffic impacts of the project on the
surrounding transportation network to compare a 70 unit senior housing development with a 50
unit market rate development. Overall the analysis showed that a 70 unit senior adult housing or a
50 unit market rate project, combined with the removal of existing trips, produce minimal impact
to the existing roadway network under 2020 traffic demands compared with the 2020 no build
conditions.
More units and coffee shop or medical offices would increase traffic at the site and change the
peak hours of activity compared to the previous proposal. Staff does not anticipate significant
impacts to traffic operations due to these changes.
Streetscape Design: Both conceptual plans take into consideration the City’s vision for 36th Street’s
design and streetscape, and the right-of-way dedications have not changed since the previous
proposal. The city has envisioned a wide sidewalk, ample landscaping, a bike lane, and on-street
parking. A rendered landscape plan will be available for council’s review during the study session.
Special Study Session Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 2) Page 4
Title: Alternate Development Concept Plan for “The Elmwood”
GUIDANCE AND PLANNING: The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides this parcel as MX Mixed
Use and it is currently zoned I-P Industrial Park. The Elmwood Study conducted by the city in
2003 says the parcels on the south side of West 36th Street should be redeveloped for mixed-use
with retail/service on the first floor and residential or professional offices above. In order for a
mixed-use redevelopment at this density to proceed, the property would need to be rezoned to a
Planned Unit Development. At this time, Staff believes mixed-use through a PUD zoning may be
most appropriate.
The proposed development helps accomplish the city’s goal of making W 36th Street a traditional
“Main Street.” The development proposal includes short-term on-street parking and long-term
structured parking. It also accommodates a vertical mix of land uses with neighborhood
retail/service on the first floor with residential within the upper floors. The proposed plan helps
access and circulation issues on 36th Street by directing all traffic to the signalized light on
Xenwood Avenue, and it provides dedication for bike and pedestrian modes, making 36th Street a
more welcoming place to be.

Title: Alternate Development Concept Plan for “The Elmwood”
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: The applicant estimates it will cost approximately
$16,800,000 to construct The Elmwood as modified. The applicant maintains the modified project
is not financially feasible without approximately $1,750,000 in tax increment financing (TIF)
assistance from the city. Such an amount would represent 10.4% of total project cost and would
take approximately 14 years to generate according to an Ehlers projection. The developer intends
to submit its formal application for TIF assistance pending the Council’s direction related to the
modified project. The application and necessary financial projections will need to be reviewed by
staff and the EDA’s financial consultant to determine what level, if any, of financial assistance
may be necessary for the project to achieve a market rate return on investment. Once the
developer’s request for financial assistance has been analyzed, staff will subsequently present its
findings for further discussion. The developer indicated they would need $948,000 in TIF
assistance for the original 5 story 70 unit proposal.
The market rent units will have average rents of $1.61 per square foot, which is unchanged from
the original proposal.

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING: A neighborhood meeting was held on November 29, 2016 at
Aldersgate Methodist Church to discuss The Elmwood. Approximately 10 neighbors were in
attendance. Concerns were expressed about making sure the development meets zoning codes,
including parking and façade requirements. There were also some comments about the height of
the building. One person said he thought 5 stories was the maximum for the area, but when the
Elmwood was compared to the Tower Light and Hoigaard Village developments, the height
difference is only about 10 feet. Six stories at the proposed height seemed amiable to the meeting
attendees. Several comments were made in favor of the Elmwood development, but asked that the
city pay special attention to the overall traffic along 36th Street as future development occurs. The
manager of Hoigaard Village thought The Elmwood’s targeted demographic would bring a lot of
vibrancy to the neighborhood.
NEXT STEPS: Staff and the developer would like feedback on the applicant’s updated concept
for The Elmwood, a mixed-use apartment building on the southeast corner of 36th Street and
Xenwood Avenue marketed to residents aged 55+.
The developer will prepare formal applications for the city’s consideration.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Solid Waste Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update
on Solid Waste Program activities, including the implementation of a new curbside recycling
program.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council have any questions related to Solid Waste activities
outlined in this report?
SUMMARY: This report includes information on an upcoming curbside collection program for
textiles and small housewares. It also provides an update on the Zero Waste Packaging program
which goes into effect the first of the year. Details are provided in the discussion section of the
report.
Simple Recycling
Staff is working to increase overall recycling rates by providing free collection of textiles and
small housewares at the curb through an agreement with a company called Simple Recycling. The
city’s current recycling hauler does not provide this service. Textile recycling has been identified
as a key diversion strategy for reaching the state’s recycling goal by 2030.
Zero Waste Packaging
The Zero Waste Packaging ordinance goes into effect on January 1, 2017. Staff have been
conducting extensive outreach and education to impacted businesses to ensure awareness and
compliance with the new ordinance requirements.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Simple Recycling will provide collection
services at no cost to the city or residents.
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: Solid Waste Update
DISCUSSION
Simple Recycling Agreement
Clothing and household textiles, considered to be any woven or knit fabric, have a considerable
impact on the environment in all stages of their life, including disposal. At the national level, the
U.S. EPA estimates that more than 13 million tons of post-consumer textile waste is generated
each year, with only 15% or 2 million tons of it being recycled. The Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) recently brought this issue to the forefront at the Minnesota State Fair with a 20-
foot tall model of Paul Bunyan dressed in an outfit stitched together from clothing donated by local
thrift stores. The MPCA estimates that textiles are thrown away at a rate of 12 grocery carts full
every minute in Minnesota. A Hennepin County residential waste study conducted in May 2016
revealed that textiles make up 3.1% of what residents throw away. The study identified textiles as
one of the top four materials that have the potential to help make progress toward the state’s goal
to recycle 75 percent of waste by 2030.
The City of St. Louis Park previously provided curbside pick-up of textiles for reuse/recycling
through a recycling contract from 2008 – 2013. While the program started slowly, over seven tons
of textiles were collected annually during the last two years of the program, with 7.53 tons of
textiles in 2012 and 8.45 tons in 2013. Under the current 5 year contract the city’s recycling hauler
does not provide this service.
Simple Recycling – Soft Recyclables
Through an agreement with Great Lakes Recycling Inc. d/b/a Simple Recycling the city will offer
free curbside collection of textiles and small household goods (soft recyclables) to all residents
who have the city’s curbside recycling collection service.
The company operates soft recyclables collection programs in other states and has recently signed
an agreement to provide collection for Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and New Hope.
Other cities in the metro area are also considering agreements with Simple Recycling.
Simple Recycling sells top quality materials to local thrift stores, up to 20%, and an additional
25% is exported as secondhand clothing, 50% of the textiles are recycled into wiping rags,
industrial absorbents, and fiber for home insulation and carpet padding.
Collection
The primary items collected through the program are men’s, women’s and children’s clothing.
Additional household items also collected include items such as: bedding, kitchenware, tools,
books, purses, toys, home décor, and shoes.
Residents are allowed to set out items for collection at the curb every two weeks on their recycling
day in bags provided by Simple Recycling. The program is completely voluntary.
Simple Recycling will be responsible for rolling-out the program, to include providing education,
customer service, collection, and marketing of soft recyclables to reuse and recycling markets.
City staff will provide oversight to ensure a quality service is provided. Simple Recycling mails
each household a free starter kit with an informational brochure (see attachment 1) and a large
pink plastic bag used to collect soft recyclables at the curb. The bags are labeled with Simple
Recycling’s name, as well as information about acceptable items and contact information.
Additional bags are provided to residents after each pick-up, free of charge. A local toll-free
telephone number is made available for residents to call for customer service. The city will also
promote the program through the city website, Park Perspective, etc.
Special Study Session Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3) Page 3
Title: Solid Waste Update
Simple Recycling Agreement
Once the agreement is signed, service will begin on February 13, 2017, with the initial term ending
on September 30, 2018, the same date that the current curbside recycling collection contract ends.
Should the city decide to renew the contract, a subsequent 5-year term would start on October 1,
2018, at which time the city would begin receiving revenue sharing in the amount of $0.01 for
every pound of soft recyclables collected. Simple Recycling would provide the services outlined
in the agreement at no charge to the city.
The agreement has been reviewed and updated according to recommendations made by the City
Attorney. Staff has presented the agreement between Simple Recycling and the City of St. Louis
Park to the City Manager for his approval and signature.
Zero Waste Packaging Ordinance Update
With the City of St. Louis Park’s Zero Waste Packaging Ordinance effective date quickly
approaching, city staff have been busy connecting with businesses to ensure they are aware of the
requirements under the new rule. In August, staff held ten information sessions out in the business
community throughout the city, with the meetings being hosted by impacted food establishments.
Over a two week period, staff met with 41 people representing 36 businesses. Two open house
events were also held at the MSC in early September. Throughout October and November, staff
made visits directly to any businesses that did not attend a session or the spring Packaging Fair.
The information sessions and visits have been helpful for both staff and impacted businesses. Staff
learned which businesses had already made changes and which had limited knowledge of the new
requirements. Staff created an informational flyer (see attachment 2) and provided numerous
resources to businesses including how to obtain free signage, grant funding, and technical
assistance from Hennepin County. Discussions with several businesses also brought to light a few
packaging items that have limited or no compliant alternatives. Staff is considering additional
temporary exemptions for a select few items and will provide an update to Council in the near future.
Local managers at businesses that are part of larger franchise corporations were not as aware of
the ordinance and also less able to directly implement changes to comply with the requirements.
In most cases, city staff needed to connect with their packaging and marketing staff in their
corporate offices. All of the businesses the city staff spoke with are making good faith efforts to
bring their packaging into compliance. Unfortunately, due to brand considerations and
functionality issues that impact safety, some have found it difficult to find adequate replacements
in time for the January 1 effective date. These companies will continue to provide updates to staff
as to the status of their changes. Staff will schedule check-ins with these businesses in early 2017
to ensure they are still on the path to compliance.
While the majority of businesses had at least some knowledge of the packaging requirements, only
a small number were aware of the need to have proper collection for any single-use recyclable or
compostable items used onsite. In many cases, this will mean the addition of organics recycling to
collect compostable items. While businesses understand the need for the collection, several are
concerned about the contamination issues caused by customers not understanding or taking the
time to sort items properly. This reality is a key piece the city will need to focus on through
education to residents, not only to keep organics recycling at businesses clean, but also to reduce
contaminants in our residential program when people bring items home. Staff already began some
of this education through an article in the October Park Perspective. Staff will also need to continue
to assist businesses with education for them to provide to their customers, understanding that many
are not St. Louis Park residents.
St. Louis Park Zero Waste Packaging Ordinance
Effective January 1, 2017
St. Louis Park’s Zero Waste Packaging Ordinance requires that all licensed food establishments use packaging that is

mixed-income, transit-oriented, and sustainable development. Proposed is a total of 300
residential units; a 110-room hotel; a 15,000-square foot e-generation greenhouse facility;
retail space; and a one acre urban forest.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
Ms. Grove further noted that recent environmental investigations have determined that
there are contaminated soils on the subject site that are in need of remediation. To assist
with clean-up costs, PLACE is requesting that the EDA apply for $669,185 in grants from
Hennepin County and Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED) on
their behalf. She added the grants for contamination cleanup are awarded semi-annually.
The grant applications are due November 1 and are typically announced in
December/January.
Commissioner Brausen asked if it was acceptable to approve the resolution after the
November 1st application deadline. Ms. Grove stated yes, it is acceptable, adding that staff
can submit the grant resolution after the deadline.
Commissioner Brausen also noted that the likely source of this pollution is the railroad and
asked if the railroad has any responsibility for the clean-up of this site. Ms. Grove stated
no, there is no association with the railroad at this time.
Commissioner Brausen stated this is a reflection of federal law, adding he does not believe
it is because of the city’s lack of will to pursue the railroad. He added it is unfortunate they
take no responsibility in clean up.
President Mavity added it will be noted the council does not like this.
Commissioner Lindberg stated he assumes these resolutions do not bind the council to the
PLACE development at this time and that this is merely part of the process. Ms. Grove
stated no, this does not indicate that the council approves the project. She added that with
any redevelopment on this property, the clean-up would be needed.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to adopt EDA
Resolution No. 16-21, 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.
The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to adopt EDA
Resolution No. 16-22, 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.
The motion passed 7-0.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Introduction and Welcome of New CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)
Members
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Mayor is asked to request Assistant Fire Chief Cary Smith
to come forward to introduce the CERT Team Leader, who will in turn introduce the newest
members of St Louis Park’s CERT team. This will bring our new total of CERT members to 31
persons.
New CERT Members:
1. Liz Goldstein
2. Angela Lofgren
3. Joshua Nemitz
4. Mike Peterson
5. Noelle Racette
6. Kathy Sotak
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None
SUMMARY: The City has been working since late 2013 to create the process and organizational
structure to support the creation of a CERT Program. CERT, a FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Agency) program supports the idea and importance of community volunteers and
citizen preparation. With the training this team has received, they can now provide immediate
assistance to victims, organize volunteers and assist in the collection of information that will allow
professional responders the ability to better prioritize resources following a disaster and in turn
make the community more resilient. In addition to disaster response, they represent an excellent
resource for any community event where volunteers are needed who can play multiple roles in the
operation. It is the goal of the Fire Chief to have a team of approximately 40 active CERT
members.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Expenses associated with the CERT
program are already accounted for in the City’s budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

1. 2017 Budget Update
Mr. Simon updated the council on the tax levy. He noted that in September the council approved
a preliminary property tax levy increase of 6.5%. Subsequent to that action, the city was awarded
the SAFER Grant. Staff incorporated the grant funds into the budget to offset the cost of two full-
time firefighter positions. Additionally, staff adjusted the employer contribution for health
insurance to reflect the two-year contract that was negotiated and moved the annual STEP grant to
the Housing Rehab Fund. These actions resulted a levy reduction to approximately 5.35%.
Mr. Simon noted that the boulevard tree removal costs are currently split 50/50 with the home
owner, and it would cost an additional $65,000/year if the city were to pay 100% of the tree
removal costs. This amount would need to be added to the 2017 budget as it is not included in the
updated levy numbers. Further, adding this additional amount would bring the total levy increase
to approximately 5.58%.
Mr. Simon stated that if Emerald Ash Borer arrives in St. Louis Park, the cost of removal could go
from $130,000/year, using the 100% funding model, to approximately $400,000, at least for a
period of time.
Ms. Deno noted that Race and Equity funding has been identified under council programs in a levy
line item 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.
Mr. Brausen stated he is in favor of the city paying for 100% of tree removal as the trees in the
boulevard belong to the city. He noted the city must be consistent in its position, noting the costs
will be high if Emerald Ash Borer arrives.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Brausen. Councilmember Miller also agreed.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 7, 2016
Councilmember Mavity added that if the council approves this, then it cannot be taken away later.
She added currently the city has a good tree removal partnership with residents and should hold
tight with cost-sharing.
Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin stated that back when the budget was getting tight, Local Government Aid
was taken away. However, he added that in the past, the city used to cover 100% of tree removal.
He stated he supports the city doing this again.
Councilmember Mavity stated she recalled this and asked if the split might be 75/25, instead of
50/50. She also asked who decides when a tree comes down. Ms. Deno stated the city controls it,
marks the tree, and takes it down. The city will barter with the homeowner; however, if it’s
Emerald Ash or Dutch Elm, the city takes the tree down.
Councilmember Lindberg stated one thing about the current levy and fee structure is that the bulk
of it falls in the average value homes. He added he would like to be cautious and not put added
burden on average value homeowners.
Councilmember Mavity added she is worried about future years, especially with Emerald Ash
Borer.
Councilmember Lindberg stated that it is a 5.35% vs. 5.5% increase, which is approximately a $2
increase to the average home value.
Councilmember Mavity noted again if the city moves to covering tree removal at 100%, she is not
as concerned this year but is more concerned about future years. She added her preference is to
create a cushion with the overall levy so as to have funds available if needed.
It was the consensus of the council to have the city cover the cost of boulevard tree removal at
100% for the 2017 budget.
Councilmember Mavity asked if the city’s grant to STEP has parameters. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin
stated last year the grant was for housing.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the Housing Rehabilitation Fund comes from developer fees,
and if so, noted he appreciates this. Mr. Simon confirmed this is the case.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Councilmember Mavity’s comments about having the levy
capacity in case of an emergency or in the case of other constraints on the budget.
Councilmember Sanger added with regard to the Friends of the Arts, she questions the city
doubling its payment to them unless there is something they are doing differently this year. She
prefers additional funding to go for particular programming so the council could address that. Ms.
Deno stated that staff can provide information to the council on where the additional funding would
go related to the Friends of Arts.
Councilmember Brausen added he is in favor of increasing the funding for the arts, noting by
supporting this, it makes a statement that this work matters to the city.
Councilmember Sanger agreed their work does matter; however, she is not sure the funding should
be doubled.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 7, 2016
Councilmember Mavity stated it is important to support the Friends of the Arts (FOTA), especially
now that a full-time person has been hired as executive director. She added the city needs to make
an investment in FOTA and help to provide base funding to allow the group to survive. She added
the group adds value, and she doesn’t want them faltering during this transition. Councilmember
Mavity also noted the council can double their support for 2017 and then re-evaluate next year.
Councilmember Miller agreed with doubling the amount and would like to see the group’s plan
for 2017.
Councilmember Lindberg agreed with the conversation, but also agreed with Councilmember
Sanger, noting that in comparison with the council’s contributions to STEP, the FOTA contribution
should be reviewed. He added the council’s contribution is only one way to look at how we
contribute to the arts.
Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin cautioned the council to look at each area on its own merits and not try to
pit one area against another.
Councilmember Miller also pointed out that raising the levy at this point is concerning, especially
since the directors have already come forward with their numbers for 2017.
It was the consensus of the council to double the Friends of the Arts funding to $40,000, which is
funded out of the Development Fund. Ms. Deno added she will provide the Friends of the Arts
budget to the council as background information.
Mayor Spano arrived at 7 p.m.
Councilmember Sanger stated the council should have a discussion about what kind of support
should be given to non-profits in the community. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin added this might be a
good topic for the upcoming council retreat or a study session.
Mayor Spano noted the line item related to race and equity funding is listed under council
programs.
Councilmember Brausen asked about the climate action plan and if there will be different funds
used for solar panels. Ms. Deno stated staff is looking at the capital program or solid waste fund
for solar panels.
Councilmember Brausen stated last year’s budget had a slightly higher levy, with funds going into
affordable housing. Councilmember Lindberg asked what is being done with those funds. Ms.
Deno stated this is being parked in other funds, as it has not been used. She added that the council
can discuss what to do, adding this would be a policy issue.
Councilmember Mavity suggested the 5.8% levy for 2017. The council members agreed. Ms. Deno
noted extra funds can be added to the council programs line item.
Councilmember Sanger asked about the change in life insurance benefits for city employees. Ms.
Deno explained there are differences for exempt vs. non-exempt employee’s benefits. Life
insurance and short-term disability are included. She stated the city received a favorable bid for
life insurance, adding they will come to council with a policy discussion at a later date.

5. Boards and Commissions – None
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. 2017 Employer Benefits Contribution. Resolution No. 16-145.
Ms. Timpone presented the staff report regarding the 2017 employer benefits contribution.
She explained the city had budgeted for a 12% increase for health insurance. After
receiving the renewal quote from HealthPartners, they were able to obtain a two-year
agreement for single digit increases in both years with no changes to the currently offered
plan designs. She continued, for 2017 rates will increase by 4.82%, and for 2018 rates will
increase no more than 9%. Ms. Timpone added that staff was very pleased with this renewal
quote, and council had approved the two-year agreement with HealthPartners via consent
item on October 17, 2016. Ms. Timpone presented staff’s recommendation to equalize the
life insurance benefit between non-exempt and exempt employees by providing a basic
term life insurance policy for non-exempt employees in the amount of 1.5 times their
salary. The cost for this enhanced benefit would be covered by the savings from the lower
than anticipated health insurance renewal.
Councilmember Sanger complimented Ms. Timpone and staff for their work on achieving
the 4.82% increase, adding this is amazing and good work.
Mayor Spano agreed. He asked why staff had requested a renewal quote vs. getting a new
bid and how this process works. Ms. Timpone stated staff is required to get bids every five
years, and in between, they pursue a renewal bid rather than going for a new bid every year.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-145, establishing the 2017 employer benefits contribution and
equalized life insurance benefit.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Authorization of the award of the 2017 Arts and Culture Grants. Resolution
No. 16-142.
Councilmember Brausen stated many people question the value of the city’s redevelopment
and wonder how this helps them specifically. He commented that besides renewing the
city, increasing the tax base, and giving some relief to property owners, one of the
innovative things that prior city councils required was that developers contribute to
affordable housing, housing programs, and community-related programs. He added they
also chose to dedicate portions of these funds to public arts and culture. He continued that
this year the city is awarding over $21,000 to Arts and Culture through programs including
a public dance program; youth arts program; adult gospel-style choir; community TV arts
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
review program with a local focus; and also showing of independent films. He stated that
through this type of contribution, all residents can surely see a direct benefit from the
redevelopment going on in St. Louis Park, even if they are not specifically part of the
development project. He thanked staff for their work here also.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-142, to authorize the award of the 2017 Arts and Culture Grants.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications – None

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
NOVEMBER 21, 2016
The meeting convened at 6:30 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), Director of Operations and Recreation (Ms.
Walsh), Principal Planner (Ms. McMonigal), Director of Inspections (Mr. Hoffman), Recreation
Superintendent (Mr. West), Communications and Marketing Manager (Ms. Larson), Westwood
Hills Nature Center Manager (Mr. Oestreich), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: None
1. Westwood Hills Nature Center Project
Ms. Walsh presented the report and explained that the city had completed a comprehensive master
plan on the Westwood Hills Nature Center in May, 2016. The plan addressed facility development
and programming goals for the Nature Center. It also included the Nature Center facilities, outdoor
programming sites, infrastructure, and programming needs. She continued that the master plan is
the vision and identifies guiding principles, resource allocation, and an action plan to meet the
identified needs of the community and assist the city in planning for future building development.
Additionally, citizen input played a key role in shaping this plan.
Ms. Walsh noted after the city council toured Eastman Nature Center, the council discussed the
need for clarity and agreement regarding the intended purpose and desired outcomes of the future
Interpretive Center building. She listed the preferences for the center as follows:
3 classrooms, opening into one larger one
Larger parking lot with trees surrounding
High energy efficient building
Opening and gathering area at entrance, not interfering with programming
Accessible restrooms – available year-round after hours
Ms. Walsh asked the council if anything was missing from the background materials included in
the report.
Mayor Spano stated the building should complement the site and surroundings, while also being
unique. He added that a small room for reading groups and for rental space is also desirable.
However, nature should be the focus, and the building should not dominate.
Councilmember Brausen noted that he and Councilmember Hallfin had recently returned from the
National League of Cities Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. While there, they toured the Frick
Environmental Center, which is geared toward the promotion and protection of the natural
environment and history. He stated that this center places importance on environmentally
sustainable ideas, including water conservation; minimizing the carbon footprint; using locally
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 21, 2016
sourced materials; and solar and geothermal power. He noted that this center has created both
outdoor and indoor environments, as well as impressive use of artwork. He stated this is a living
building, which evolves based on program needs and interactions with nature, which is what he
hopes for the Westwood Hills Nature Center. He would like the council to look at this model before
proceeding with the new nature center in St. Louis Park.
Councilmember Hallfin added that the Frick Center reminded him of Eastman Nature Center. In
an effort to be more like nature, the design is not symmetrical.
Councilmember Sanger told staff she thinks they have hit the mark, and she likes the idea of the
building being open to nature both inside and outside. She stated the design needs to reflect the
programming and noted it must be for all ages and not only children’s groups. She added she is
hesitant on rental space at the new nature center, especially if the city will also build a new
community center that most likely will house rental space. Additionally, Councilmember Sanger
stated she does feel she is being asked to make decisions based on the Eastman Nature Center and
asked if it would be beneficial to look at other centers, as well, before finalizing the plan.
Ms. Walsh stated that most nature centers in the area have a similar feel, but Eastman is most
similar to Westwood Hills because of size and layout and was a complete rebuild of the previous
building. She added that Eastman is closest to what the city is attempting to achieve, noting that
some nature centers in the area have deficiencies.
Councilmember Sanger asked if other centers have differences that Eastman does not have. Ms.
Walsh noted that the Richardson Center incorporates art into the front of the building, and perhaps
this should be brought to the Westwood Center, where public art could be on display both inside
and outside.
Councilmember Sanger also asked if staff has looked at the type of rental income the city might
be able to get from the center. Ms. Walsh stated it is difficult to estimate a figure; however, the
three rooms can be opened into one large room for wedding receptions, parties, annual
neighborhood meetings, etc.
Councilmember Brausen stated there might be an opportunity to obtain some private funding for
the center if the city pursues a net zero design. He would be interested in working on fundraising
for the center, noting the initial cost is small compared to the long-term gain.
Councilmember Mavity told staff they had hit the mark, and she supports the project. She added
that aesthetics are important, and the industrial theme on the outside is not consistent with the
preferred natural feel. She stated the design will need to stay consistent with the theme of nature,
noting that Eastman’s lighting and materials were stark. She added she loves the idea of including
artwork and incorporating that with natural materials.
Councilmember Lindberg added that the project is on a good track to move forward, and he feels
the building itself should be a living, breathing part of the environment surrounding it. He added
that the city needs to be responsible and build the project with the environment as the priority,
while also helping to build for future generations. He added that the rental opportunities are not
important and he would hate to see those decisions influence the project, adding that the focus
needs to be on nature and connecting nature to the building.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 21, 2016
Councilmember Miller stated the project is on the right track, but he would like to focus more on
nature programming vs. renting the space. He would like to be flexible on design, so if there was
an opportunity to rent it in the future, they would be able to do so. He also wants to ensure the
facility is as flexible as possible, in light of the costs per resident being at $30-40 each. He asked
about naming rights and potential donors who might step up in support of the project.
Councilmember Sanger noted her concerns on the financing and costs and that she hopes staff will
bring back more information to the council. She stated she does not approve of naming rights for
public buildings, although she would approve of citizens making contributions to the nature center.
Mayor Spano agreed with Councilmember Sanger, noting he too is reluctant to go down the path
of naming rights on buildings for donors.
Mr. Harmening stated in terms of desired outcomes, the council had agreed the building will be
environmentally-friendly, but added if triple net zero is the target desired by the council, staff will
look at this and come back with recommendations, noting this will raise the bar, as well as the
cost.
Councilmember Mavity stated she is not certain about double, triple, or net zero; however, she
believes the city needs to be an environmental leader on this project and push the envelope, but
not too far. Additionally, she noted that since these design options are costly, she wants to be
cautious about what the council directs staff to do.
Councilmember Brausen added that the Frick Center has solar panels in the parking area, which
are the first thing seen when coming into the lot. He has forwarded pictures and an email to the
council. While the initial cost will be high, it makes sense to do this now at the outset of the project.
It was the consensus of the council to look further into project costs now. Staff will bring more
information back to a future meeting for review.
Staff was given the direction to move forward to solicit an architectural company to begin
preliminary design.
2. Vision Steering Committee
Ms. McMonigal presented the report and stated that the Vision Steering Committee will serve as
a liaison between the community and the city council throughout the visioning process. The
committee will help reach out to and engage as many community members as possible, including
those who may not normally engage with the city. The consultant and city staff will work
collaboratively to serve as advocates for the visioning process throughout the community.
Ms. McMonigal added that the consultant Rebecca Ryan provided these preferred characteristics
for steering committee members:
Visionary
Entrepreneurial and innovative in approaching the future
Able to think outside the box and experiment
Positive about St. Louis Park’s future.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 21, 2016
The council asked that the steering committee include a diverse group of individuals, representing
a range of demographics, who could reach deeply and widely into the community for input.
Ms. McMonigal explained the process for selecting the steering committee members, noting that
the staff Communications and Outreach Committee recruited and recommended people for the
nine-member steering committee. She stated the Communications and Outreach Committee
identified 36 candidates for the steering committee and invited each individual to submit a
Statement of Interest. Fourteen statements were received, and nine were chosen out of this group.
Ms. McMonigal added that council may also submit more names for the steering committee, and
suggested that those people would go through the same process. People that are not chosen for the
steering committee would be invited to participate in other vision activities like train the facilitator;
leading visioning sessions at neighborhoods; town halls; and live Facebook meetings. She stated
that citizen input meetings will be held on various days of the week in January and February,
including Saturdays.
Councilmember Miller thanked staff for their work. However, he noted his concerns about the
steering committee members and wants to ensure its members include people who don’t typically
speak out. He’d like to tie into those groups of folks and bring in new people. He noted he has
several names to submit to staff for the steering committee and will invite them to apply.
Councilmember Mavity has someone interested in serving on the steering committee, and she will
submit this person’s name and ask her to apply, as well.
Mayor Spano, noted several names he has to add.
Councilmember Mavity asked for information on the process, so as to be clear before inviting
additional people to apply for the steering committee. Mr. Harmening stated if council members
send staff their contacts’ information, staff will extend the recruitment process. He added that staff
will bring back all names who have applied to the council, along with staff’s recommendation.
Council can then decide on the nine members of the committee. He added that staff would like to
keep things moving in order to kick off the process by the first of the year.
Ms. McMonigal stated they have balance of gender, race, and geography. There are some of the
usual subjects, but there are others, also.
Councilmember Lindberg asked what the timeline is for the process, adding that we do not want
to compromise the timing of the delivery of results. Ms. McMonigal stated January 17 is the first
steering committee meeting. Then in mid-February there will be a town hall meeting and the “Train
the Facilitator” meeting. In March, two more town hall meetings will occur. Councilmember
Lindberg added he has some concerns over ward representation on the steering committee.
Councilmember Sanger stated she does not want anyone on the committee who does not live in
St. Louis Park. Ms. McMonigal stated there is one person on the current list who does not live in
the city; however, he is a St. Louis Park business owner. Councilmember Sanger stated she would
prefer another neighborhood person on the committee instead of a business owner. She added that
while she supports putting a few fresh faces on the committee, there does need to be some who
have lived in the city for a while and who have volunteer experiences.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of November 21, 2016
Councilmember Brausen stated he does not want the council to micro manage this process. He
added that the only person from Ward 4 is someone who has been around awhile, and he has no
problem with that. He did note he would like two of the meetings to be Facebook Live meetings,
so people won’t miss out if they can’t attend town hall meetings.
Ms. McMonigal noted that the steering committee will help provide contacts for the visioning
process, but staff will also go to neighborhoods and neighborhood meetings to make additional
contacts.
Councilmember Miller stated he disagreed with Councilmember Sanger’s comment about not
bringing new people onto the committee, and he would like to look at having new people also
recruit other folks. He also asked if the steering committee could have 12 vs. 9 members.
Ms. McMonigal stated with nine members, the committee remains smaller and more productive.
Councilmember Miller asked how facilitators will be found. Ms. McMonigal stated they will
present the process and recruit neighborhood leaders at the Neighborhood Leaders Forum. Also,
they will utilize boards and commission members and train one to two members from each
commission to reach out to their neighbors, and 10-15 staff members will also be trained.
Recruiting will be conducted in January.
Councilmember Mavity stated it is important to have good clarity on next steps in the process.
Councilmember Miller added he is concerned about the steering committee and that it needs to be
truly representative of St. Louis Park. He cautioned not to dismiss the data, as that will be
dangerous.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he trusts the consultant and the process.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he has no issues with any of this; is not worried about the ‘how’ of
the process; has faith in the consultant; and does not see anything as dangerous. He stated
“dangerous” is a harsh word, and he trusts the council hired the right person as a consultant. He
added he trusts staff and is ready to move forward.
Councilmember Sanger stated she hopes staff reaches out to neighborhoods that do not have
organized groups and noted if there is a Saturday meeting, there will also need to be some Sunday
meetings for those who are part of the Jewish community.
Mayor Spano stated he is fine with the process as it is, adding he has a couple names for
consideration. He stated that though the council agrees on the need for diversity and fresh
perspectives, we will not get folks from every sector with only 9 people on the committee. He
stated the council hired the consultant to do her job, and the council cannot be involved in running
the process. However, the council can provide input.
Mr. Harmening stated any additional names should be sent to staff by early next Monday in order
to send out statements of intent and to bring all information back to the council in a timely manner.

Councilmember Mavity stated she would like to keep the idea of St Louis Park being a sanctuary
city moving forward and asked staff to bring proposed language of a resolution to the next meeting.
Mr. Harmening stated staff will draft this and bring back to council for review.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Special Assessment - Water Service Line Repair at 1829 Jersey Avenue South
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment
for the repair of the water service line at 1829 Jersey Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN
P.I.D. 05-117-21-43-0056.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously
established by the City Council.
SUMMARY: William and Emily Rodgers, owners of the single family residence at 1829 Jersey
Avenue South, have requested the City to authorize the repair of the water service line for their
home and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment
policy.
This is a repair that was made between the home and the curb box and is not impacted by the City’s
new waterline ownership policy. Homeowners are still responsible for water lines repairs that occur
between their home and the curb box located in the right of way.
The City requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or sewer
service lines for existing homes was adopted by the City Council in 1996. This program was put into
place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like this are
unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed, submitted,
and approved by City staff. The property owners hired a contractor and repaired the water service line
in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this repair qualifies

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

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.

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).

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
6. Construction complete November 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.

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.

Final Completion August 31, 2016 October 31, 2016 Eight months after

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.

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.

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 December 5, 2016(Item No. 4c)
Title: Approval of Consent Agenda from November 7, 2016 City Council Meeting Page 82
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 December 5, 2016(Item No. 4c)
Title: Approval of Consent Agenda from November 7, 2016 City Council Meeting Page 83
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 December 5, 2016(Item No. 4c)
Title: Approval of Consent Agenda from November 7, 2016 City Council Meeting Page 84
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 December 5, 2016(Item No. 4c)
Title: Approval of Consent Agenda from November 7, 2016 City Council Meeting Page 85
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.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016(Item No. 4c)
Title: Approval of Consent Agenda from November 7, 2016 City Council Meeting Page 87
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: Final Payment Resolution - 2015 Pavement Management Project - Area 3 - Project
No. 4015-1003
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting work and authorizing final
payment in the amount of $92,987.46 for Project 4015-1003 Pavement Management (Area 3) with
Park Construction, Contract No. 34-15.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Not Applicable
SUMMARY: On April 6, 2015, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of
$2,485,387.92 to Park Construction for the Pavement Management Project (Area 3), Project 4015-

Title: Final Payment Resolution - 2015 Pavement Management Project - Area 3 - Project No. 4015-1003
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Annually the city rehabilitates several miles of local residential streets as part
of the pavement management program. Pavement Management Area 3 included street
rehabilitation work which consisted of removing and replacing the existing bituminous pavement
and replacing portions of concrete curb and gutter as needed. Other work included sewer repairs
and select watermain replacement within the neighborhood.
In addition to the street rehabilitation activities, staff integrated the 2015 Connect the Park sideway
construction for 14th Street as part of the project for cost saving measures and for coordination
efforts of the contractor.
During the project unexpected items came up that needed to be addressed in order to complete the
necessary work. This resulted in the cost of the project being $131,567.90 over the awarded
amount. The primary reasons for this were:
The contractor made a mistake in their bid price for the fiber optic system installation.
Their bid price was $100,000 but in order for the contactor to complete the work, the bid
price should have been closer to $200,000. The contractor indicated that they would
remove their bid from consideration if they were held to their bid price. The next lowest
bid was $600,000 higher than the low bid, and higher than the estimated cost included in
the CIP. Staff consulted with the City Attorney regarding our options. To move forward
with the project staff determined that it was in the best interests of the City to renegotiate
the bid price with the contractor. The city agreed on a bid price of $137,900 to complete
the work. This meant the contract cost increased by $37,900. The negotiated price was
within the budget for the fiber installation work, and still meant the overall project cost was
consistent with the CIP and much lower than the next lowest bid.
During watermain replacement, unsuitable material was found in the subgrade. The
material consistently failed during construction and would not pass required compaction
test after multiple solutions were tried. The city and contractor agreed to use a 3 inch minus
aggregate material in 6 inch to 12 inch lifts in the areas of unsuitable material. This
required the removal of the unsuitable material and the placement of the new aggregate.
The agreed upon price was $48 per ton for the replacement aggregate. The overall cost to
complete this work was $90,241.92 which is addition to the original contract amount. This
work was necessary in order to complete the project on time and to have a stable foundation
for the watermain and road.
These changes to the contract were necessary to complete the project.

Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He explained
that the applicant is requesting a variance to increase the allowed floor area from 2,500
square feet to 5,100 square feet so the Salon Concepts can occupy the existing building as
the sole tenant. He reviewed the definition of service land use in the zoning ordinance
which includes salon use. He discussed existing and proposed property conditions.
Mr. Morrison went over the variance criteria. He said staff has discussed number of
parking spaces in great detail with the applicant. He said in order for the variance
criterion regarding effect on health, safety, and welfare of the community to be met the
Applicant will maintain and enforce a parking plan that outlines parking alternatives and
procedures with the goal to avoid any commercial customers or staff from parking in the
surrounding residential neighborhoods.

Title: Board of Zoning Appeals Meeting Minutes of June 23, 2016
Mr. Morrison stated that staff recommends adoption of a resolution approving the
requested variance for a 5,100 sq. ft. salon instead of the maximum 2,500 sq. ft. allowed.
Commissioners Gainsley and Solmer asked how parking could be enforced to prevent
parking in residential areas.
Mr. Morrison said the intent is that employees would not park in residential areas. If
problems arose staff would go back to the contingency parking plan as part of the
variance approval.
Mr. Morrison spoke about the Excelsior Blvd. Ellipse development parking plan which
has been monitored and enforced successfully.
Vice Chair Kaufman asked if there have been any parking issues at the site in the past.
Mr. Morrison responded that there have not been any issues and the site has been a very
low traffic generator.
Vice Chair Kaufman opened the public hearing.
Jake Stein, attorney, Salon Concepts, spoke about the company. He said they are
confident based on company experience that there shouldn’t be any issues with the
parking lot. He commented that the lease is for 10 years.
Brent Van Liev, CEO, Salon Concepts, was present to answer any questions.
Gregory Rich, property owner adjacent to Salon Concepts, said he was present to speak
in favor of the variance request.
The Vice Chair closed the public hearing as no one else was present wishing to speak.
Commissioner Gainsley stated he thinks it is an excellent plan with a great use of
building space and use that is intended. He made a motion to adopt a resolution
approving the variance.
Commissioner Solmer spoke about staff’s attempt to find the origin of the 2,500 sq. ft.
allowed floor area. He said perhaps City Council needs to take a look at this and
reevaluate it.
Vice Chair Kaufman said he supported the variance request.
Commissioner Bloyer commented that she was sorry to have missed the discussion. She
said based on the report she did not support the request.
Commissioner Solmer seconded the motion. The motion to approve variance passed on
a vote of 3-0-1 (Bloyer opposed).

Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
spring and dry floor for summer use. The ice rink will be a full NHL rink and include a
scoreboard and public announcing system. Mr. Eisold explained there will be fencing and
sod added between the outdoor facility and the Aquatic Park. There are cameras installed
which take time-lapse photos documenting progress of the project from the date the first
dirt was moved and will continue to project end.
Mr. Eisold then moved the tour inside the Rec Center to view the new refrigeration room,
which supplies power to all three arenas, the west arena, which is complete, and the
current reconstruction of the east arena. In the west arena, the cooling, ice, boards and
lights were replaced. The arena was also painted during the project. The same
replacements are currently occurring in the east arena and the east arena is scheduled to
be open October 31. There are nine miles of refrigeration tubing in each of the arenas
inside the Rec Center and 10 miles of refrigeration tubing in the outdoor rink. The lights
were replaced with LED lights for an expense of approximately $44,000. Along with the
cost savings LED lighting provides, the city will also receive a rebate from Xcel Energy
for approximately $24,000.
Both projects are on schedule and on budget.
b. Outdoor Facility Naming (Nemer Fieger and Task Force)
Ms. J. Marie Fieger from Nemer Fieger introduced herself and her presenter, Les
Hazelton.
Mr. Hazelton explained Nemer Fieger was the firm chosen through a Request for
Proposal process initiated by the City. Three meetings were spent with staff to understand
new facility and then began research. A task force / focus group was created from various
stakeholders in the city to discuss potential names and reasons for suggested names. The
question proposed was “what name would fit a multi-purpose facility next to the Rec
Center in St. Louis Park?” Nemer Fieger recorded input, opinions and discussions from
the task force. The organization brought the results of the input back to the task force for
discussion. With the aid of a visual of the completed facility, they discussed how to
accomplish the goals of the city as an innovative destination, what the facility will be
used for and the perception of the facility. Anything that would fit into the venue was
taken into consideration, Mr. Hazelton explained.
The names that rose to the top of the list through the discussions include Arches Pavilion
(used modifier with name of facility), Canopy Park or Canopy Pavilion, The 3 – 6 Center
(used its location), The Crown / Crown Rec (shape and jewel of St. Louis Park), The East
End (Rec Center and facility as destination on the carved notch on the east side of the
city), The ARCHES (acronym: Athletic / Recreation / Community / Health / Education /
Skating) and The ROC (Recreation Outdoor Center). The focus group review the names,
shared their ideas, and then voted on the proposed names. The results, in the order of
most votes received, were: The ARCHES, The ROC and The Canopy.
Mr. Hazelton opened for comments or questions. Ms. Lisa Greene advised she was part of
the task force and felt the process was well facilitated and acquired feedback from every
person in the room. Mr. Hagemann noted during the discussions, people changed their
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 4i) Page 3
Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
opinion on their perspective and migrated to the final results. Ms. Griffin commented the
young kids (ages 20-21) loved the ROC and are currently using that amongst their age
group. Ms. Walsh mentioned the difficulty with the name association of ROC as there’s
no quarry nor place marker associated with the name.
The stone arch bridge and the Arch in Missouri were all discussed in the task force, Mr.
Hazelton mentioned. They originally had 157 potential names in the beginning. Feels
there must be a story around the name to build the marketing for the facility. Mr.
Hazelton indicated that regardless of what name is chosen, once it’s initiated, it would
cultivate to the structure.
Ms. Griffin indicated her kids and friends (ages 20-21) loved the ROC. She personally
likes the Arches but does not like the Canopy. Ms. Foulkes feels we need to decide what
crowd is the focus for the facility. The High School crowd would like ROC, she likes the
Arches as she feels it appeals to the older crowd, but does not like Canopy. Ms. Hoffman
advised it was fun being a part of the task force. She personally prefers the Arches or
ROC but feels the Arches could be more inclusive. Mr. Bluma likes the simplicity of the
ARCHES. He’s still thinking about the ROC at the Rec. There is a lot of concrete so is a
big rock… it makes sense. Mr. May likes the Arches and ROC in that order. He suggested
setting a big rock in the area if ROC is selected. He also likes the ARCHES. Mr. Foulkes
prefers Arches Pavilion or ARCHES. ROC is okay and Canopy is undesirable. Mr.
Gilbert is drawn to ROC as it is short, smooth and appeals to the younger crowd. Mr.
Ramsey feels the name is very important as it is the perception of the building. He feels
there is an important link between the visual aspect of the facility and the ARCHES. But,
ROC also has a ring to it. Mr. Hagemann feels the ARCHES lends more to a multi
facility. He likes ROC better as fun name but balancing it with a more mature, wider
audience may be challenging. Ms. Greene has a preference for the ARCHES but likes
ROC’s appeal to the younger crowd. The city needs to determine who their main target is.
Mr. Halvorson prefers the ROC, Canopy, and ARCHES, in that order. He feels young
people will call it the ROC regardless.
Members discussed how to appeal to adult reservations / usage if called the ROC.
Hopefully the name will not deter rentals of any age.
Ms. Walsh thanked all for the great feedback. Ms. Walsh advised the feedback received
from the Commission, along with the results from the task force, will be presented to the
City Council. The City Council will make the final decision on the name of the facility.
Once the name is chosen, work will begin on creating a logo.
Ms. Walsh thanked all for their involvement in this process. Members thanked Nemer
Fieger and the task force for their work.
c. Commission Sponsored Appreciation Luncheon (Sept. 14) Discussion
Ms. Griffin provided a brief description of the luncheon for the members. The annual
luncheon is hosted by the Commission for the employees of Parks and Recreation to
show their appreciation for all they do. The Commission provides and prepares grilled hot
dogs, hamburgers, salads, etc.
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 4i) Page 4
Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
Mr. Foulkes inquired if the police department should be invited to the luncheon for their
service. Members agreed to discuss after this year’s event. It was suggested to invite the
bike patrol, which was approved by the members. Ms. Walsh will invite.
Ms. Foulkes, Mr. Foulkes and Mr. May are unable to attend the luncheon on September
14. Members discussed and decided to hold it on Tuesday, September 20 as most
members are available that date.
The discussion focused on items to bring and what each person will provide. Ms. Voelker
will email the last of past items provided and members will indicate what they will
provide at the luncheon. This list will be continually shared with all members.
5. Old Business
a. Skate Park Relocation Update (Jason West)
Mr. West advised in 2015 staff interviewed at least 25 skate park users and received great
feedback. Two potential sites were toured for the relocation of the skate park (formerly
located on the west side of The Rec Center), Melrose Institute and Carpenter Park. The
group preferred Carpenter Park as the location of the skate park. The skate park is
temporarily located at Nelson Park.
Mr. West indicated the skate park will have a new design from what was located near The
Rec Center and will encompass approximately 12,000 square feet. Staff also learned from
the users what equipment is preferred. Jason West and Rick Beane (City Staff), teamed
up with Rich Bluma (PRAC member), Mark Rodriguez (Third Lair Skate Park), and
Scott Oreschnick (Cal-Surf) to create a sub-committee that are currently reviewing a
Request for Proposal (RFP), help choose the vendor, and work with the users to research
the equipment to include in the skate park. Once the RFP is approved by the sub-
committee, it will be sent to vendors, the proposals will be reviewed, selected vendors
may be interviewed, and a vendor will be chosen.
Ms. Walsh advised that separate from this project, but on a parallel track, the Engineering
Department needs to create a storm water retention pond on the Carpenter Park site. An
engineer will be invited to a future Commission meeting to discuss retention needs and
potential for the site.
Mr. West showed various ideas of a plaza-style skate park, which will be very different
from what the city had in the past. Mr. May inquired if the new skate park could be
utilized by skate boards, roller blades and bicycles. Mr. West will discuss with the vendor
to find out if the ramp transition is adequate.
6. Staff Communication
a. Blackstone Park Playground Update
Ms. Walsh advised members Paul Bierhaus from Kids Around The World reviews the
city’s old playground equipment that is being replaced, to determine if it can be used in
third world countries. The organization evaluates and chooses one or two annually, they
City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 4i) Page 5
Title: Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes of November 7, 2016
help with removal of the old equipment, work with the manufacturer to fix the equipment
then they ship it to other countries for use. Ms. Walsh spoke with Mr. Bierhaus and most
individuals from Kids Around the World that work on the playgrounds are from varying
aspects of process and always looking to recruit members to assist. Not many cities work
with this organization. It takes additional time to replace playgrounds as staff schedules
the dismantling of the playground with Kids Around The World. They have great people
that love the program making it successful.
b. Conflict of Interest
Ms. Walsh reminded members to abstain from voting and commenting on items that may
have an impact on their private business, professional business or volunteer life. The city is
reminding all commissions. Staff can inquire with the City Attorney any areas that are gray.
7. Member Communication
Mr. Foulkes suggested members and staff view the Foundry Dance on You Tube. It is individual
images put together with music, in the creation of a bronze sculpture. The city could create
something similar to present the Outdoor Facility on their webpage. Staff will mention to
Jacqueline Larson, Communications Manager.
Mr. Hagemann advised of a new development in the West End / Central Park area. The
development will include commercial businesses on the first floor, bike facilities, parking for
commuters and restaurant / coffee facility. The landscape plan includes a walkway, benches,
lighting and sculpture / water feature in middle. A committee, including Friends of the Arts, will
view proposals from artists and discuss with developer.
The annual Arts and Culture Grant process will be ending soon and a great number of applicants
have been received. The Arts and Culture Grant committee will review and award the applicants
in October.
8. Other / Future Agenda Items
The next regular meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.
9. Adjournment
It was moved by Commission member Hagemann and seconded by Commission member G.
Foulkes to adjourn at 8:08 p.m.

City Council Meeting of December 5, 2016 (Item No. 6a) Page 2
Title: 2017 Proposed Budget, Tax Levies, and Truth in Taxation Public Hearing
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The 2017 budget was prepared as a means to continue to build on Vision St.
Louis Park and the key organizational cultural behaviors of Collaboration, Quality and
Responsiveness. On June 20, 2016, staff met with the City Council to discuss the 2017 Budget
Process. Council agreed that staff should follow recommendations from the “2017 Budget
Production Guidelines” when preparing the 2017 Budget. Assumptions for the 2017 Budget
included a pattern similar to past years; a levy increase, modest increase in other fees and charges
where appropriate to fit with business costs, maintain high quality and responsive service delivery,
hold expenditures flat where possible with adjustments for some modest growth based on essential
business needs, funding for a wage and benefit contribution increase, utility rate adjustments, and
continued long range financial planning. In addition, Council discussed business needs and
operations as it related to preparing the 2017 budget.
At the August 15th and September 6th, 2016 City Council Study Sessions, the City Council
reviewed information from the staff report and subsequently directed staff to prepare a 2017
Preliminary Property Tax Levy increase of 6.50% when compared to the 2016 Final Property Tax
Levy. In addition, the City Council directed staff to proceed with preparing the 2017 Preliminary
HRA Levy at the maximum allowed by state statute, due to the significant infrastructure projects
currently in progress, and scheduled per the 2017 – 2026 Capital Improvement Plan, in addition to
the current interfund loan repayments. Council also directed staff to proceed with utility rate
adjustments, which were approved on October 17th, in order to take effect in 2017.
On September 6th, the EDA and City Council adopted the 2017 Preliminary HRA Levy
$1,086,461. On September 19th, the City Council adopted the 2017 Preliminary Property Tax Levy
of $30,464,756 which is approximately 6.50% or $1,860,282 over the 2016 Final Property Tax Levy.
On October 17th, 2016 staff and the City Council reviewed the 2017-2026 Capital Improvement
Plan and long range financial management plan. A few changes to the plan are highlighted below:
1) Project 13995004- 800 MHz Mobile Police Radios are recommended to be moved up to 2016
to take advantage of a $500 per radio or $9,500 savings by purchasing by the end of the year
instead of 2017. Funding Source: Police and Fire Pension Fund.
2) Project 21179902-Girls Fast Pitch Softball Facilities study has been added to 2017 to hire a
landscape architect to work with the task force on developing and designing possible field
improvements. Funding Source: Park Improvement Fund.
3) Project 24175017-Rec Center Office AC Replacement moved up from 2017 due to timing
with Rec Center indoor/outdoor project and the need to tie it all in with one project. Funding
Source: Park Improvement Fund.
4) Project 32170002-Police Station Parking Lot Gate moved up from 2017 to correspond with
the sidewalk replacement and front entrance ramp project. The gate provides added security
to the non-pubic lot at the police station. Funding Source: Capital Replacement Fund.
On November 7, 2016 staff reviewed a number of items to reduce the levy which included a
reduction for the health insurance renewal and a two-year Federal Operating Grant for the 2 full-
time firefighter positions included in the budget. Upon further discussion that evening, Council
asked staff to include the funding of boulevard tree removal at 100% and to set aside additional
funds for council programs such as race equity and the climate action plan for 2017. Which
brought the final proposed levy to 5.8% for 2017 compared to the final 2016 levy. Formal adoption

2017 Preliminary Adopted Levy, updated 2017 Levy and General Fund Budget.
1. The 2017 Preliminary Property Tax Levy was adopted on September 19th at $30,464,756,
which is approximately 6.50% more than the 2016 Final Levy.
2. The updated Property Tax levy being considered on December 19th at $30,264,073, which
is approximately 5.80% more than the 2016 Final Levy.
3. The Proposed 2017 General Fund Budget is $35,811,011, which is an increase of
approximately 5.07% compared to the 2016 Adopted Budget.

HRA Levy
This levy was originally implemented in St. Louis Park due to legislative changes in 2001 which
significantly reduced future tax increment revenues. The City Council elected at that time to use
the levy proceeds for future infrastructure improvements in redevelopment areas. Based on current
and future infrastructure needs, the HRA Levy is recommended to be set at the maximum allowed
of 0.0185% of estimated market value for the 2017 Budget, which is consistent with previous
years. This levy is committed to pay back a loan from the Development Fund that helped cash
flow the City’s obligation for the Highway 7 and Louisiana interchange project and is expected to
be paid off by 2019. By law these funds could also be used for other housing and redevelopment
purposes, but considering the significant infrastructure needs within the City, the proceeds have
not been used for housing. Therefore, staff has calculated the maximum HRA Levy for 2017 to be
$1,086,461 based on valuation data from Hennepin County. Staff is recommending the 2017 Final
HRA Levy be set at the maximum.

Utility Funds
The changes in utility rates for 2017 were formally adopted by the City Council on October 17,
2016 for consumption or services provided beginning on January 1, 2017. These rates are
consistent with the goal of achieving long-term sustainability in the funds. For 2017, the
approximate cumulative effect on a typical residential property for all the utility rate adjustments
would be an increase of $15.47 per quarter, or approximately $5.16 per month. This calculation
is based on a family of four using 30 units of water per quarter (22,500 gallons), and 60 gallon
solid waste service. As noted previously, for those residents that sign up for organics the $10 per
quarter will not be billed for 2017 use.
Estimated City Impact for 2017 on Median Value Home
Based on a 6.5% 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 saw a value
change of 5.5% for taxes payable in 2017, would experience an increase of approximately $5.75
per month or approximately $69.06 for the year on the City share of property taxes.
Based on a 5.8% 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 saw a value
change of 5.5% for taxes payable in 2017, would experience an increase of approximately $5.14
per month or approximately $61.63 for the year on the City share of property taxes.
NEXT STEPS: As the 2017 budget process nears completion, the following steps remain:
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 2017 Budgets, final tax levies (City and HRA), and 2017 -
2026 CIP.
OTHER: As of the writing of this report, there were no letters or formal requests received in
Administrative Services addressing the proposed increase in the City’s portion of property taxes to
consider.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 671: Installation of Stop Signs on Natchez Avenue at 31st Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the installation of stop
signs for the north-south leg of Natchez Avenue at 31st Street.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The restriction is allowed per the City’s established regulatory
authority.
SUMMARY: In August, the City received a request to evaluate the intersection of Natchez
Avenue and 31st Street. The intersection is currently uncontrolled. The request was to install stop
signs on the north-south legs of the intersection, stopping Natchez Avenue.
The City’s Traffic Control Policy and the MN Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN
MUTCD) guide the installation of stop signs. The policy sets out warrant criteria which an
intersection should meet in order to have stop signs installed. The stop sign warrants for traffic
volume, crash history and sightlines were not met for this intersection. As a result, the Traffic
Committee does not recommend the installation of stop signs on either leg of the intersection.
When the Traffic Committee does not recommend the installation of a traffic control device,
residents have an opportunity to petition the City Council to consider the Committee’s
recommendation and hear input from the community. Per City policy, non-qualifying devices and
traffic calming methods may be considered if both the following are satisfied.
70% of residents within a 600 foot radius from the location sign a petition or a
neighborhood association supports a neighborhood study and calming strategy.
Special studies and installation of traffic calming controls (except signs) would be at
residents or neighborhood cost (specially assessed to benefited residents or areas).
The City has received a petition that meets the requirements listed above. Council options are to
approve, deny, or refer the request to the neighborhood (association) for further study and/or
support. Past practice by the Council has been to approve stop sign requests when a petition is
received that meets the requirements of the Traffic Control Policy.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost of enacting these controls is
minimal and would come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: In August, the City received a request from a resident to install stop signs on
Natchez Avenue and 31st Street. The intersection currently is uncontrolled. The city conducted
an engineering study that included a Stop Sign Control Warrant Analysis on this intersection. The
results of the study are that this intersection does not meet the warrant criteria for installation of a
two way stop or yield sign. The Traffic Committee does not recommend installation of stop signs
where warrant criteria are not met.
When the Traffic Committee does not recommend the installation of a traffic control device,
residents have an opportunity to petition the City Council to consider the Committee’s
recommendation and receive input from residents. Non-qualifying devices and traffic calming
methods may be considered if both the following are satisfied.
70% of residents within a 600 foot radius from the location sign a petition or a
neighborhood association supports a neighborhood study and calming strategy.
Special studies and installation of traffic calming controls (except signs) would be at
residents or neighborhood cost (specially assessed to benefited residents or areas)
The City has received a petition that meets the requirements listed above to place a stop sign on
the north-south approach of this intersection. Council options are to approve, deny, or refer the
request to the neighborhood (association) for further study and/or support.
ANALYSIS: The Traffic Committee is made up of staff from Police, Public Works, Community
Development and Engineering. When we receive a request from the public we review it and
complete engineering study as needed. Recommendations on whether to install a traffic control
device are based on industry guidelines and studies. The installation of a stop sign carries with it
a regulatory component that requires City Council approval for enforcement.
Stop signs are installed to control conflicting traffic movements at intersections. The stop sign is
meant for safety and to assign right-of-way. Stops signs are not intended to be used as a traffic
calming device. Multiple studies have determined that unwarranted stop signs do not typically
control traffic speeds or provide more safety. Instead, they can create traffic delay or traffic
impacts on other streets, noise, additional pollution, poor stop compliance, and pedestrian safety
when drivers believe the signs have no justification. More information on these impacts will be
provided at the meeting if requested by the Council.
RECOMMENDATION: Based on the technical analysis undertaken by staff, the Traffic
Committee does not recommend the installation of stop signs at this intersection.

TRAFFIC STUDY NO. 671
Installation of Stop Sign on Natchez Avenue at 31st Street
The MN Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MN MUTCD) guides the installation of
yield and stop signs. Yield or stop signs should be considered at the intersection of two minor
streets or local roads where the intersection has three or more approaches and where one of the
following conditions exist:
Combined vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian volumes entering the intersection from all
approaches averages more than 2,000 units a day.
o The traffic volumes at this intersection were calculated using traffic counters. A
total of 315 vehicles a day approached the intersection. There were 181
vehicles/day on Natchez Avenue and 134 vehicles/day on 31st Street.
o Traffic volumes did not meet the warrants for a stop sign or yield sign.
Crash records indicate 5 or more accidents within a 3 year period or 3 or more accidents
within a 2 year period.
o Crash History showed there was 1 reported accident in a five year period.
o The crash history did not meet the warrant for a stop sign or yield sign
Sightlines at the intersection to see conflicting traffic on an approach is not sufficient to
allow a road user to stop or yield in compliance with the normal right of way rule if stopping
or yielding is necessary.
o The sightlines in the eastbound approach are less than other approaches, but were
found to not affect driver ability to comply with the normal right of way rule if
stopping or yielding is necessary.
o The hill in the northwest quadrant was not found to block the vision of a vehicle
when approaching the intersection.
o The sight lines did not meet the warrants for a stop sign or yield sign.
Traffic Committee Recommendation
Due to not meeting any of the warrants for a stop or yield sign, the Traffic Committee does not
recommend that stop signs on Natchez Avenue at 31st Street be installed.
