Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: September 12, 2016 Written Report: 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: Eastman Nature Center Tour in the Elm Creek Park Preserve RECOMMENDED ACTION: The purpose of this tour is to provide City Council an example of amenities that could be included in the new interpretive center at Westwood Hills Nature Center. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council have any feedback or questions regarding the tour of Eastman Nature Center? SUMMARY: The city hired Miller Dunwidde Architecture to create a comprehensive master plan to address development and programming goals for the Westwood Hills Nature Center. The plan included the nature center facilities, outdoor programming sites, infrastructure and programming needs. The master plan serves as the vision, guiding principles, resource allocation and action plan to meet the identified needs of the community and to assist the city in planning for future building development at Westwood Hills Nature Center. Citizen input played a key role in shaping this plan. As part of the next step in the process, City Council expressed an interest in exploring other nature centers to fully understand some of the amenities that could be included in a new interpretive center at Westwood Hills Nature Center. Staff chose Eastman Nature Center, which is a Three Rivers Park District facility, due to the similar amenities that are noted in the Westwood Hills master plan. Eastman Nature Center was a complete demolition and rebuild similar to what Westwood Hills Nature Center would experience. Eastman Nature Center started construction in 2012 and was completed in 2013. The building cost of construction at that time was $5.16M. It has three multi- purpose rooms that open into one large room to accommodate 150 people. The square footage of Eastman is 14,000 which is similar to what is needed for Westwood Hills Nature Center. It includes several environmental initiatives; such as, solar thermal panels, white rooftop, geothermal system, CO2 sensors, smart lights, reuse of building materials, etc. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Our CIP has $700,000 in 2018 for design fees for the Westwood Hills Nature Center and $11,000,000 in 2019 for construction of a new Nature Center building. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community. St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship.

Walsh, Director of Operations and Recreation Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: September 12, 2016 Written Report: 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: 2017 Budget & Service Charges for Special Service District (SSD) Nos. 1 - 6 and Extension of SSD 1 Through 2026 RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action needed. This report is meant solely to provide Council with an update on the City’s six Special Service Districts (SSD) in preparation for action by the Council in October. POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed 2017 budgets and property owner service charges for each service district (attached) will be presented for Council action at the October 17 Council meeting. Does Council need any additional information regarding the Special Service Districts? SUMMARY: The 2017 proposed budgets and service charges are similar to that of past years. Staff has recently held meetings with the property owners from each of the six districts and received their support for approving the 2017 budgets and service charges. Staff has received the required number of petitions from the Special Service District 1 property owners for the reauthorization to extend the District 1 for another 10 years through 2026. This is the second reauthorization for Special Service District 1. The public hearing for Special Service Districts 1 - 6 budget and service charge approvals and the Special Service District 1 renewal will be held on October 17, 2016. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City owns property in several Special Service District’s and will incur service charge costs for those properties. The service charge costs incurred are as follows: Special Service District 1 $23,066 to the Parks Maintenance budget; Special Service District 2 $49 to Public Works / Operations budget; Special Service District 3 $623 to EDA/TIF Administration budget; Special Service District 4 $224 to Public Works / Operations budget; and Special Service District 6 $1,755 to EDA/TIF Administration budget. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion Proposed 2017 Budget for SSD 1 - 6 Proposed 2017 Service Charges for SSD 1-6 Prepared by: Scott Merkley, Public Works Services Manager Reviewed by: Mark Hanson, Public Works Superintendent Cynthia S. Walsh, Director of Operations and Recreation Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 2) Page 2 Title: 2017 Budget & Service Charges SSD 1-6 – SSD and Extension of SSD 1 Through 2026 DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: History In 1996, Council approved a resolution authorizing Special Service District (SSD) 1. Since then, five additional service districts have been set up within the City (SSDs 1-4 are along Excelsior Boulevard, SSD 5 is along Park Place Boulevard near West End, and SSD 6 is along W. 36th Street near Hoiggard Village). City staff provides management services for the service districts. Budget/Service Charge Overview Each Special Service District has its own budget with a reserve that is carried over from year to year. The goal for each fund is to maintain a fund reserve equal to 50% of the budget. If fund reserves are high in a district, the annual budget will not match the total service charge since excess fund reserves will be used to offset (lower) the service charges. Property owners are used to “fluctuations” in service charge amounts as they understand infrastructure services and repairs cannot be accurately predicted (such as snow removal costs). A summary of budget highlights is presented below: SSD 1: No changes to the budget; no change in service charges. SSD 2: No changes to the budget; no change in service charges. SSD 3: No changes to the budget; no change in service charges. SSD 4: $1,000 increase in budget (budget increase needed based on anticipated upcoming expenditures); $2,000 decrease in service charges (service charge decrease to keep the fund reserve at the desired amount). SSD 5: $1,300 increase in budget (budget increase needed based on anticipated upcoming expenditures); $3,500 increase in service charges (service charge increase to keep the fund reserve at the desired amount). SSD 6: No change in budget; $6,000 increase in service charges (service charge increase to keep the fund reserve at the desired amount). Special Service District No. 1 Extension The District’s 2006 multi-year service charge was for ten years expiring in 2016. Service District members have shown interest in extending the District beyond 2016. Staff sent a petition to each property owner to approve service charges commencing 2017 through and including 2026. As required by law, the City has received signed petitions from the owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the land area of property and at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the individuals or business organizations subject to the proposed service charge. Current/Planned Activities: Highlights of planned services or activities for 2016 are provided below: 1) Sidewalk snow removal contracts for SSD 1 and SSD 3 with Twin City Outdoor Services expire at the end of 2017. 2) Landscape and irrigation contracts for SSD 1-6 with Custom Products and Services expire at the end of 2016 and request for proposal solicitations will be done this winter. 3) Continuation of the decorative “twinkle” lighting is planned for Districts 1-5. There is no lighting in SSD 6, as there are not any trees in the medians. Over the past several years we have been transitioning to LED lights that have a longer lifespan and are more energy efficient to operate. Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 2) Page 3 Title: 2017 Budget & Service Charges SSD 1-6 – SSD and Extension of SSD 1 Through 2026 4) More infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation is starting to occur as the infrastructure ages. Some of the recent work included rehab to six bus shelters, decorative fence, irrigation systems, pavers, bollards, and landscape replacement. 5) Council should be aware that Special Service District 2 will expire at the end of 2018. SSD 2 is currently in its second 10-year term of existence. Staff will be starting the renewal process to extend the district for another 10 years in early 2018. Summary/Next Steps: Several steps are needed to complete the service district budget and special assessment processes for 2017. 1) Staff mailed the budget and service charges to all property owners. A voting memorandum requesting approval of budget and service charges was included with the 2017 budget and service charge documents. In all six districts there was overwhelming support to approve. 2) Staff met with available service district property owners of SSD 1-6 on August 22 to present the 2017 budget / property owner service charges and discuss planned maintenance activities and solicit any suggestions or concerns the property owners had. 3) The public hearing for the 2017 budget and property owner service charges will occur at the October 17, 2016, council meeting. 4) In November the City certifies the 2017 assessments (service charges) to Hennepin County.

Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 2) Title: 2017 Budget & Service Charges SSD 1-6 – SSD and Extension of SSD 1 Through 2026 Page 15 Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: September 12, 2016 Written Report: 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: Partners in Energy - Energy Action Plan and MOU with Xcel Energy RECOMMENDED ACTION: This report is for informational purposes. Staff and the Environment & Sustainability Commission’s Energy Work Group have recommended that the City Manager sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Xcel Energy in support of the Energy Action Plan and expectations outlined. POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time. This action is consistent with previous discussions with the City Council. It is also consistent with recent direction from the Council on where the energies of the Environment and Sustainability Commission should be focused. SUMMARY: The Environment & Sustainability Commission’s Energy Work Group and staff have been working on a long term project with Xcel Energy, called Partners in Energy. Members of the Commission provided an update to the Council on this initiative at a special study session in April. This project is a multi-stakeholder initiative to produce an Energy Plan, including implementation, for the entire community of St. Louis Park. This finished plan provides a high level of direction and guidance on how to achieve the several goals stated within the plan. We are now ready to start the implementation phase of this project. NEXT STEPS: The Environment & Sustainability Commission are a critical stakeholder group needed to achieve the goals stated in the Energy Action Plan. Their time and focus are necessary to successfully implement several strategies and actions outlined in the plan. Additionally, City staff in various departments will be expected to support the strategies outlined in the Energy Action Plan. Examples include developing a Climate Action Plan, purchasing renewable electricity, drive businesses to implement energy savings projects, install rooftop solar, and encourage residential participation in renewable options. The plan and MOU establish agreed upon strategies that can change or be amended over time as new opportunities arise that may help the City reach the stated goals. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Future actions such as developing a climate action plan, greenhouse gas tracking, solar and other renewable purchases will have upfront costs yet to be fully determined at this point. 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.

Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 3) Title: Partners in Energy - Energy Action Plan and MOU with Xcel Energy Page 53 Appendix 2: Planning Phase Workshop Overview The section below includes more detail on how the group developed the above vision, focus areas, and strategies over the course of five workshops. Workshop 1 — Visioning Activity The facilitation team introduced Partners in Energy and presented an initial data set of St. Louis Park’s energy usage. The group brainstormed their favorite St. Louis Park assets and then, first individually and then as a group, the team defined what an ideal energy future for the St. Louis Park area would look like. As team members presented the qualities they deemed most important, trends surfaced that included a focus on accessibility, stakeholder partnership, leadership, paving the way for future generations, conservation, and net zero. At the end of Workshop 1, three volunteers formed a small work group to wordsmith a draft vision statement. Small Work Group A small group developed various energy vision statements based upon the Energy Action Team’s workshop discussion. They used materials provided by the facilitation team as a guideline and then drafted a vision statement. Following a facilitated conference call with the full group and a City lead, a second option was drafted. This was sent out for community feedback between Workshop 1 and Workshop 2. Three vision statements were presented to the group at Workshop 2. Between Workshops 1 & 2: Three volunteers from the Energy Action Team drafted a vision statement over a facilitated call and several emails. Workshop 2 — Vision, Focus Areas, and Draft Goals Three vision statements were presented to the Energy Action Team at Workshop 2. The discussion that followed included if goals and dates should be included in the vision statement and, if so, how aggressive they should be. The facilitation team presented options for focus areas based on St. Louis Park’s vision and the community asset brainstorm in Workshop 1. The Energy Action Team nominated focus areas for voting Workshop 1: Brainstorming Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 3) Title: Partners in Energy - Energy Action Plan and MOU with Xcel Energy Page 54 and then voted on which ones were best suited for the Energy Action Plan. The four focus areas selected were: Energy Efficiency in Business, Climate Action Plan, Partnership with Youth, and Renewable Energy. Focus areas that were included in the vote, but were not selected were Local Government and Community Collaboration. Ways of measuring success, including draft goals, were discussed for each of the selected focus areas. Between Workshops 2 & 3: The team voted on the three vision statement proposals and decided a time-bound goal should not be included in the vision statement. There was also a COMPASS tool webinar through the Exchange. Workshop 3 — Draft Goals and Strategies Workshop 3 started with an outline of the workshop goals and a review of the Energy Vision that the Energy Action Team voted on between Workshop 2 and Workshop 3. The group reviewed the four selected focus areas from the previous workshop (Energy Efficiency in Business, Climate Action Plan, Partnership with Youth, and Renewable Energy). The group separated into three small groups to each work on the draft goals and strategies for each focus group. The Climate Action Plan focus area did not have a small group, but a plan was made for a check-in call with those interested in working on it between Workshop 3 and Workshop 4. At the end of the workshop, the larger group heard from each small group and the facilitation team talked about bringing a draft of the Energy Action Plan to Workshop 4. The draft goals are shown in the table below. Workshop 2: Focus Area Exercise Workshop 3: Small Groups Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 3) Title: Partners in Energy - Energy Action Plan and MOU with Xcel Energy Page 55 Draft Goals Energy Efficiency in Business 10% participation of St. Louis Park businesses with 10% of the highest users involved. Renewable Energy 200 kW of rooftop from mixed residential and business installations, and a 1MW community solar garden. Recruit an additional 1,500 residents to sign up for Windsource ®. Partnership with Youth Recruit youth ages 10-18 to participate in the development of a Climate Action Plan by 12/31/15. Between Workshops 3 & 4: The Climate Action Plan work group met to discuss proposed goals and data projections. Additionally they discussed possible collaboration with iMatter youth leaders. Workshop 4 — Climate Action Planning and Goal and Strategy Refinement Workshop 4 started with a guest presentation from Partners in Energy implementer, Judy Dorsey. Judy spoke about climate action planning as a way to help the team further understand what other communities have done on a national scale. Then Larry Kraft, a member of the Energy Action Team, presented on carbon credit calculations for St. Louis Park, which helped a group of team members develop proposed goal scenarios for St. Louis Park to reach carbon neutrality. After his presentation the entire team discussed the proposed goals, which were carbon neutral by 2040 and 100% renewably-sourced electricity by 2025. Half the team was immediately on board. The other half had questions regarding the technical feasibility of implementing the goals, the proposed cost to the community, and how carbon credits would be factored into implementation. For the remaining portion of the workshop team members worked in small groups to further define focus area goals and strategies. Workshop 4: Carbon Credit Presentation Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 3) Title: Partners in Energy - Energy Action Plan and MOU with Xcel Energy Page 56 Between Workshops 4 & 5: Small groups developed additional tactical details for strategy implementation. Workshop 5: Strategy Mapping and SWOT Analysis Workshop 5 began with an overview of the workshop planning process. The Energy Action Team then divided into three work groups to further define the goals and strategies needed for each focus area. The groups then mapped out actions on a timeline to chart implementation tasks and responsibilities. The teams also agreed upon communication expectations within their specific work groups. At the end of the workshop the work groups gathered back as a large group and discussed the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that face each focus area as the City begins implantation. The primary concern from the Energy Action Team was volunteer burnout. Solutions for this included applying for grants and getting a Minnesota GreenCorps placement. Areas of opportunity included engaging the business community and moving the development of a climate action plan forward. The final team discussion addressed the need for a name and logo to help brand the effort and more clearly communicate around the initiative as actions are carried out in the community. The team chose to modify the Sustainable SLP circular logo to reflect a focus on energy. The team also agreed to meet for a celebration post plan approval.

Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 5) Page 2 Title: SWLRT – In-Kind Land Contribution and Updated Agreements for LRCIs DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: Over the past two years or so the City has discussed and agreed to fund several items related to SWLRT. Some of these items are “Locally Requested Capital Investments” (LRCIs) and are shown in the table below. In-Kind Land Contribution The attached draft resolution asks the City to commit to transferring property rights of the City land at the water tower site at Park Glen Road to the Metropolitan Council for the SWLRT Project. This property is shown on the attached drawing. The permanent land donation is for 1,042 square feet of land. The easements include a 13,242 temporary easement and a 10,937 driveway easement. This property will be used to access and service the Traction Power Sub-Station (TPSS) in this area. The TPSS powers the light rail operations. LRCIs New LRCI for Upgraded Bridge Design Elements On April 25, 2016, the City Council discussed upgrading the railings and adding bollard lighting on the Beltline regional trail bridge (see attached drawings) and upgraded railings on the Louisiana bridges. Council directed Staff to pursue those improvements. A new draft Subordinate Funding Agreement (SFA) for the cost of designing these improvements is attached and will be presented for consideration to the Council at the September 19th meeting. Existing LRCIs Xenwood Underpass – Staff requested the Southwest Project Office (SPO) suspend work on the Xenwood Underpass LRCI last spring. Beltline and CSAH 25 Intersection LRCI (32) and Louisiana Area Trail (33) - SPO has requested amendments to the existing agreements for the Beltline/CSAH 25 Intersection and the Louisiana Area Trail LRCIs to reflect increased design costs that were initially based on estimates. With the suspension of the Xenwood Underpass, the overall change in cost expected is an increase of approximately $10,048. Approving these agreements does not commit the City to construction; additional agreements will be considered in the future. EXISTING LRCIs CHANGES IN DESIGN COSTS Xenwood Underpass - $29,952 Beltline and CSAH 25 Intersection + $7,000 Louisiana Area Trail + $33,000 NET COST + $10,048 NEW LRCI + $24,649 TOTAL ADDITIONAL COSTS + $34,697 Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 5) Page 3 Title: SWLRT – In-Kind Land Contribution and Updated Agreements for LRCIs NEXT STEPS: On September 19, 2016, Council will consider action on the Resolution committing the City to dedication land for access to the TPSS. The Council will also consider the new LRCIs for Upgraded Bridge Design Elements and the amended LRCIs for Beltline and CSAH 25 Intersection and the Louisiana Area Trail.

Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 5) Title: SWLRT - In-Kind Land Contribution and Updated Agreements for LRCIs Page 7 Page 2 of 4 NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance on the statements in these recitals, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Maximum Amount of Authorized Funding. The cost for the Council’s professional services and administration activities authorized by this SFA shall not exceed $24,649 unless authorized in a subsequent agreement or an amendment to this SFA. 2. Project Budget. The budget for the Council’s activities described in this SFA is provided as Exhibit A. City funds provided for this SFA may only be used for reimbursing the Council’s costs for activities directly incurred within the described Specific Description of Funding Authorization and as detailed in the MFA. 3. Specific Description of Funding Authorization. The activities to be performed by the Council and reimbursed by the City include the development of design plans and engineer’s construction cost estimates for various New Scope LRCIs identified in Exhibit A. If authorized by the City, the new scope LRCIs are anticipated to be constructed by the Project. The Council will incorporate the design plans for the New Scope LRCIs in the proposed Project construction bid documents if: a) the environmental review of the Project allows for construction; and b) the Project is permitted to proceed to construction. The construction specifications for the New Scope LRCIs will be incorporated in the overall specifications within the Project construction bid documents; no separate or standalone specifications will be created. At least one month prior to the Council opening the bids, the City is required to enter into subsequent SFAs authorizing the Council to construct specific LRCIs and reimburse the Council costs. Failure to enter into subsequent SFAs will result in the Council excluding or removing the specific LRCI from the bid documents through an addendum and ending any further obligation by the Council. The City acknowledges that the engineer’s construction cost estimates may not be completed in time to negotiate and execute an SFA authorizing construction of a New Scope LRCI prior to the bid opening; if the City chooses to authorize construction through an SFA, the cost of the New Scope LRCI would be determined through a change order. 4. Property Acquisition. It is not anticipated that property rights will need to be acquired to construct the proposed New Scope LRCIs. However, if acquisition of property rights are needed to construct any of the New Scope LRCIs a subsequent agreement must address property access, acquisition, disposition, and other real property matters needed for the New Scope LRCI, beyond what is required to construct the Project. 5. Project Activity Periods. The project activity period for the purposes of this SFA shall be effective upon execution and shall terminate on the date all costs under this SFA have been reimbursed, unless terminated earlier consistent with the terms of the MFA. 6. No Guarantee of Construction. This SFA describes terms requiring the City to reimburse the Council’s cost for design activities associated with the New Scope LRCIs. It does not guarantee that any of the New Scope LRCIs will be constructed. The City and the Council acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall require the Council to take any action or make any decision that Study Session Meeting of September 12, 2016 (Item No. 5) Title: SWLRT - In-Kind Land Contribution and Updated Agreements for LRCIs Page 8 Page 3 of 4 will prejudice or compromise any review or decision-making processes required under state and federal environmental review laws, regulations or rules. The Parties intend this Agreement to be interpreted consistent with statutory and other legal authorities, including but not limited to the Minnesota Environmental Policy Act and the National Environmental Policy Act. The Parties agree that this SFA does not limit the alternatives or mitigative measures that the Council may undertake in the development and construction of the Project. The Council retains the right to make decisions and necessary approvals associated with Project requirements. 7. Incorporation.
