Approval of minutes – Jan. 21, 2026 There was no discussion regarding the approval of the minutes from Jan. 21, 2026. 3. Workplan review and next steps Commission Member Leverenz provided an update from the application review team. The team discussed the current functionality of the app. The team will investigate what other municipalities have for apps and industry standards. The team will also start investigating what features on the app are also available on the website and begin compiling that into a documented analysis. Commission Member Straus provided an update from the AI white paper group. The group shared some of the research they found on the topics they outlined at the last meeting. The group thought about whether they want to come up with a position for or against, or just present facts. The group thought about some format ideas for the white paper and decided on providing some high-level ideas related to St. Louis Park’s strategic priorities. Commission Member Straus continued that the group would see if their research fits those categories. They would give examples, warnings, cautions and things to consider within those. Their action will be to continue the research and to think about how they fit into those categories while being careful not to use AI to solve problems that don't exist. 4. Communications and announcements Ms. Smith announced that Nat Johnson resigned from the commission. The position will stay open until May when the council makes appointments. Ms. Smith noted that Commission Member Leverenz and Commission Member Straus have terms expiring at the end of May.
