Meeting: Special Study Session
Meeting Date: January 22, 2013
Discussion Item: 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Recommendations from Environment/Sustainability Task Force
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. Three members of the Task Force and staff
will be available to discuss the recommendations with Council. Staff requests direction from
Council on whether it wishes to pursue implementing the recommendations of the Task Force to
allow for public input into the City’s environment and sustainability policies, programs and
initiatives.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council wish to move forward in implementing the
Task Force recommendation or engage in further discussion?
SUMMARY: Throughout 2012, the City Council discussed public involvement in the City’s
environmental policies and initiatives, particularly as it relates to the City’s Vision and Strategic
Directions. To determine how to further achieve this effort, the Council established the
Environment/Sustainability Task Force to assist the City Council in recommending the approach
the City should use to encourage public input into the City’s environmental and sustainability
policies, programs and initiatives.
After determining the purpose and timeline for the Task Force, a review of the applicants
resulted in the selection of fifteen residents to be appointed. The Task Force met for five
evenings during Fall, 2012, and discussed how the City currently engages the public on
sustainability issues, other models for public engagement, and what models would work best in
St. Louis Park.
The primary recommendation of the Task Force is to create an “Environment and Sustainability
Commission: Sustainable SLP” that expands on the traditional model of a Commission in St.
Louis Park. The supporting discussion of the recommendation is included in the attachment,
which covers the reasoning, purposes, and implementation suggestions from the Task Force.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable at this time. Depending on
the direction of the Council, future financial considerations may arise relative to staffing and
programmatic needs.
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.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion
Recommendation of Task Force
Prepared by: Ray French, Administrative Services Intern
Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager/HR Director
Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager
Special Study Session Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Title: Recommendations from Environment/Sustainability Task Force
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: At the March 26, 2012 Study Session, the City Council discussed public
involvement in the City’s environmental policies and initiatives relative to what was missing in
that area. The Council identified the need to investigate “the need and purpose of an energy and
environmental commission.” At subsequent study sessions, the Council discussed the creation of
the Environment/Sustainability Task Force to assist the City Council in recommending the
approach the City should use to encourage public input into the City’s environmental and
sustainability policies, programs and initiatives. After determining the purpose and timeline of
the Task Force, a review of the applicants resulted in the selection of fifteen residents to be
appointed.
The Task Force met for five evenings during the Fall, 2012. They first met on August 22, 2012
to introduce the scope and purpose of the task force to the members and provide an
environmental overview for the City of St. Louis Park. This included presentations by
Environmental Coordinator Jim Vaughan and Public Works Coordinator Scott Merkley, who
reviewed the environmental initiatives already in place in the City, including the ways in which
the City has engaged with the public on sustainability issues.
The Task Force continued its work on October 15, 2012, first finishing the environmental
overview with Planning and Zoning Supervisor Meg McMonigal and Communications
Coordinator Jamie Zwilling, specifically regarding current ways the City seeks and receives
input from the public. The second half discussion introduced information on how other cities
obtain input from the public and other models specifically relating to sustainability issues.
At the November 1, 2012 Task Force meeting, the group invited and had conversations with
Dianne Plunkett Latham, the past Chair of Edina’s Energy & Environment Commission, Regina
Rojas, a Planner with Eden Prairie and the Staff Liaison to their Conservation Commission, and
Sean Gosiewski from the Alliance for Sustainability. This conversation focused on the specifics
of each model incorporated in their cities and how characteristics of St. Louis Park might have
an impact on different models for public input.
The November 19, 2012 meeting took a different form. It began with small group work in which
Task Force members discussed what they thought to recommend, why they recommend it, and
what they suggest for implementation. Following the small group work, the Task Force came
together, shared what each group thought would be the best recommendations, and began to
blend ideas. A draft recommendation resulted from the discussion and was prepared by staff.
Finally, at the December 3, 2012 meeting, the Task Force edited the draft which resulted in the
attached recommendation. There was significant support among the Task Force members for the
recommendation.
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: The City Council is joined at this Study Session by Task
Force members Tim Brausen, Tom Hillstrom, and Kelly Spors to discuss the recommendation.
NEXT STEPS: Staff requests direction from Council on whether is wishes to pursue the
recommendations of the Task Force. If so, staff will begin the process of creating a new
commission and consider staffing issues.
Special Study Session Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 1) Page 3
Title: Recommendations from Environment/Sustainability Task Force
RECOMMENDATION OF
ENVIRONMENT/SUSTAINABILITY TASK FORCE
Recommendation:
Create the “Environment and Sustainability Commission: Sustainable SLP”, that expands on the
traditional model of a Commission in St. Louis Park.
Why:
Through the 2006 Vision St. Louis Park citizen participation project, the city adopted four
Strategic Directions, one of which states: “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.” Creating a Commission deliberately enhances the Council’s
commitment and value to this strategic direction.
Purposes of the Special Commission on Environment and Sustainability:
• To provide recommendations to advance City goals, policies, and programs
• To provide advice and assistance to staff and Council through collaboration
o As staff has done an excellent job thus far, the Commission should enhance and
expand upon staff initiatives
• To provide leadership in engaging the community, encouraging relationships and
partnerships with neighborhoods, special interest groups, churches, business leaders, and
other commissions
• To serve as a conduit for environmental/sustainable information, topics and direction
from citizens/public
How:
Aligned with the characteristics of St. Louis Park Commissions and similar to the characteristics
of Edina’s Commission -
• Implemented around but not limited to the GreenStep Cities Initiative (already in place
here) and including the pursuit of initiatives similar to GreenSteps
• Collaborate with City departments on matters of environment and sustainability
• Elicit community feedback and direction including direct engagement, social media,
annual events and fairs, etc.
• Reach out to the full community as well as to special populations with communication
and educational efforts related to the environment and sustainability.
• Feature a number of working groups focused on identified special topics or projects, led
by at least one Commissioner
• Establish work groups to focus on specific areas of interest, special projects, and ongoing
concerns; e.g. recycling, air and water quality, energy, education, and transportation (e.g.
SWLRT), plus other related issues that may arise
• Create an annual work plan that includes measures for self-assessment
What:
The Commission should be comprised of eleven to thirteen diverse citizens, including 2 students
and 2 business persons (e.g. Chamber members), and 1 renter, who demonstrate high energy,
leadership, and commitment to the environment and sustainability.
• Create “barrier free” participation through gas subsidy, day care, or stipend to attend
meeting; inclusivity is a goal for commission to address environmental justice ideas
Special Study Session Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: Recommendations from Environment/Sustainability Task Force
• Led by co-chairs, one male and one female
• A term should be three years with a limit of two consecutive terms
• Each voting ward should be represented by a commission member
• The Commission should meet monthly with attendance requirements
• There should be periodic staff and commission retreats to share and exchange ideas
• One Commissioner should be responsible for outreach and as a liaison to staff
• Commission should be non-bureaucratic with active participants, made up of a vibrant
network of members and non-Commissioner work group members.
• The Commission is responsible for establishing by-laws governing its activities
• The Commission is responsible for conducting its business in accordance with guidelines
established by the City Council
Additional Commentary on Work Groups:
The characteristics listed above should guide the appointment of Commission members.
However, additional criteria should be applied to members of the various work groups, which are
essential to the activities of the Commission. That is, work group representation should be
broadened to emphasize greater diversity, inclusiveness, and specific issue expertise. This is the
level at which a wider range of citizens can be engaged, and this is the level at which a variety of
groups can and should be brought into the process. Work groups can reflect community make-up
in terms of age, gender, race, religion, neighborhoods, business affiliation, home ownership, and
so on. Commission members are charged with the responsibility for the make-up and successful
operation of the various work groups.

City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Subject: City Council Meeting Minutes of January 7, 2013
Mr. French explained the proposed amendment to Chapter 3 would add language to allow
a limited on-sale liquor license for culinary classes at a business establishment not
otherwise eligible for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. He stated that businesses
offering culinary classes for which payment is made would be authorized to provide up to
6 oz. of wine or 12 oz. of intoxicating malt liquor for consumption on the licensed
premises only. He indicated that Byerly’s has requested the amendment and noted that
Byerly’s was previously able to serve wine at its cooking classes, but since the closure of
the restaurant, Byerly’s is not able to serve wine at its classes. He added that the annual
liquor license fee of $100 is sufficient to cover the cost of providing administration and
enforcement. He then introduced Mr. Ross Huseby, Byerly’s General Manager.
Mayor Jacobs opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Jacobs

8a. Dakota Park Ballfield Naming. Resolution No. 13-006
Ms. Walsh presented the staff report and explained that an application was submitted
requesting that the name of the baseball field at Dakota Park be dedicated and named for
Derrick Keller. She stated the Parks and Recreation Advisory reviewed the application as
well as the City’s Park Facilities Naming Policy and found the application meets all
requirements except the two-year waiting period; however, the applicants have asked that
this requirement be waived and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission agreed
with waiving this requirement. She recited information contained in the application
regarding 18-year-old Derrick Keller who passed away in June of 2012 after a battle with
leukemia. She added that a number of Derrick Keller’s teammates have raised money for
a new scoreboard at Dakota Park that would recognize the field as Derrick Keller Field
and these monies will be donated to the City in Derrick Keller’s honor.
Mr. Joe Burnley appeared before the City Council and stated he is a sophomore at St.
Louis Park High School and was greatly influenced by Derrick Keller. He stated he
approached Derrick to help him with his hitting and Derrick was willing to take the time
to help him. He stated Derrick was a very special person and he would like to honor
Derrick’s commitment and dedication to St. Louis Park baseball.
Mr. Scott Foltz appeared before the City Council and stated he graduated from St. Louis
Park in 2011 with Derrick and they were captains of the baseball team. He stated he and
Derrick played baseball together since they were 10 years old and Derrick was a great
friend and a great human being. He stated Derrick was an extraordinary baseball player
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Subject: City Council Meeting Minutes of January 7, 2013
and felt Derrick’s legacy should be preserved and he urged the City Council to rename
the baseball field not only for Derrick but to also show that St. Louis Park takes great
pride in its children.
Mr. Bob Keller, Derrick’s father, appeared before the City Council and stated Derrick
had great character and Derrick would think that the naming of this field was wonderful
and Derrick would have been impressed. He stated Derrick was diagnosed with leukemia
the day after his 18th birthday and Derrick stayed tough throughout his battle. He
explained that Derrick underwent a procedure that had never been done before on a
human being and Derrick said the reason he wanted to do this was to help the next group
of children with leukemia and that was the kind of person Derrick was.
It was moved by Councilmember Ross, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to Adopt
Resolution No. 13-006 approving the Naming of the Baseball Field at Dakota Park as
Derrick Keller Field.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he knew Derrick Keller and is overwhelmed by the show
of support for Derrick this evening. He stated that Derrick Keller beat leukemia but was
unable to recover from other complications and the procedure that Derrick had is already
helping other people. He added it was a privilege and an honor to approve this
resolution.
The motion passed 7-0.
Mayor Jacobs recessed the City Council at 7:49 p.m.
Mayor Jacobs reconvened the City Council at 7:55 p.m.
8b. Conditional Use Permit for Life Time Fitness Parking Ramp – 5525 Cedar
Lake Road. Resolution No. 13-007.
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report and CUP application to export approximately
5,900 cubic yards of material from the Life Time Fitness facility. He explained that Life
Time Fitness is proposing to build a four level parking ramp and advised there are
currently 619 parking spaces on the site and the parking ramp will increase the number of
available parking spaces to 842. He stated that during construction a large portion of the
site will be fenced off resulting in temporary relocation of the main entrance
approximately 200 feet to the east of the existing access and this entrance will be a right
in/right out only. He noted there is a secondary customer access with full movements on
the southern end of the site. He reviewed the proposed haul route that will use Park Place
Boulevard, Parkdale Drive, and Cedar Lake Road. He also reviewed the conditions for
approval of the CUP including compliance with all noise ordinances. He then introduced
Mr. Jeff Melby, Vice President of Development for Life Time Fitness.
Mr. Jeff Melby appeared before the City Council and stated they are agreeable with the
conditions contained in the Conditional Use Permit. He added they believe the addition
of this parking ramp will solve the long term parking issues at this site.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Subject: City Council Meeting Minutes of January 7, 2013
Councilmember Ross expressed concern about pedestrians in this high traffic area and
asked if Life Time Fitness will have shuttle service available from the overflow parking
lot across the street during construction of the parking ramp.
Mr. Melby replied there would be shuttle service available from the overflow parking lot.
Councilmember Ross asked if there would be an elevator or skyway from the parking
ramp into the building.
Mr. Melby stated the parking ramp will have an elevator but there will not be a skyway
connecting to the building entrance. He explained that all Life Time Fitness buildings
have a single point of entrance and the distance from the new parking garage to the front
door will be closer than many of the existing parking spaces. He added they plan to
begin construction in April or May and construction will last 10-12 weeks.
Councilmember Ross stated she has received some phone calls from residents expressing
concern about the beeping noise from trucks backing up at Home Depot and Costco and
stated she was not supportive of allowing construction until 10:00 p.m. due to the
potential for similar noise from trucks on the Life Time site. She requested that no
construction activity be permitted after 8:00 p.m. during the week.
Mr. Melby advised that heavy construction will not occur after 8:00 p.m. and agreed to an
amendment of this condition in the Conditional Use Permit.
Councilmember Mavity requested information regarding Life Time’s growth projections
for this site and asked if the parking ramp will provide sufficient parking based on those
growth projections.
Mr. Melby stated when the parking ramp is done, this site will have 110 more spaces than
any other Life Time Fitness facility in the nation. He felt that the site will have adequate
parking and they do not anticipate more membership growth at this facility.
It was moved by Councilmember Ross, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to Adopt
Resolution No. 13-007 granting Conditional Use Permit Under Section 36-79 of the St.
Louis Park Ordinance Code Relating to Zoning to Permit the Excavation of 5,900 Cubic
Yards of Material Located at 5525 Cedar Lake Road, as amended with the requirement
that heavy construction equipment shall not be used after 8:00 pm.
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. Designating 2013 Mayor Pro Tem. Resolution No. 13-008.
It was moved by Councilmember Ross, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to Adopt
Resolution No. 13-008 appointing Susan Sanger to the Office of Mayor Pro Tem for the

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – January 22 & January 28, 2013
This item was noted but not discussed.
2. 2013 Annual Legislative Update
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and introductions of guests were made. He indicated
the draft 2013 Legislative Issues and Priorities was provided to the City’s guests and noted that
Council has not yet had an opportunity to fully discuss this document.
Senator Latz stated the primary concern during this year’s legislative session would be balancing
the budget. He added the legislature would also be focusing on jobs and the economy.
Representative Simon stated there is still a question about whether there will be a bonding bill
during this year’s session and added he expects the session will be dominated by budget issues
and the Governor’s tax reform proposal, which is expected to be announced in late January.
Representative Winkler stated it was his belief that the Governor will be proposing $2-2.5 billion
in new revenue, and he was cautiously optimistic there would be more money available for
spending on important priorities. He indicated it was his sense there would be interest in
education being a target zone for new investment, specifically early childhood and higher
education. He also felt that another hot button issue this year would be marriage equality. He
advised he would be putting in a bill requiring police departments to have a standard protocol for
accepting guns on a temporary basis from people who want them out of their possession on a
voluntary basis and added another part of this bill would allow people with mental illness to put
themselves on a list prohibiting them from purchasing guns or to be issued a carry and conceal
permit.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 14, 2013
Commissioner Dorfman stated she would provide Council with a copy of the County’s final
legislative agenda. She indicated the County’s agenda includes a significant amount on transit
and transit oriented development and advised that the County supports the Met Council’s request
for $37 million in funding for SWLRT this year. She stated the County’s agenda will also look
at how the community can address the issue of sex trafficking of minors, which has become a
significant issue and the local police departments need to be involved in addressing this issue.
She added one of the other priority issues for the County will be reinstating the Environmental
Response Fund and she asked the City to consider supporting that, as well.
Met Council Representative Brimeyer stated he would support an increase in the sales tax to
support transportation as recommended by the Transportation Finance Advisory Commission.
He felt the legislature would support this increase in sales tax because it would eliminate the
need for State bonding money and the sales tax would provide consistent funding for
transportation. He added that other regions around the country have used an increase in their
sales tax to fund transportation, and it has worked well.
Mr. Harmening advised that the City is supportive of making the Environmental Response Fund
permanent and to eliminate the sunset provision, adding that the City has used that fund for a
number of projects. He stated the City is also supportive of making the Housing Improvement
Areas statute permanent and is also supportive of continuing the authorization for Special
Service Districts. He stated the City supports extending the provisions of the 2010 Jobs Act that
sunset last July. He advised the City supports the SWLRT project and encourages the State to
provide funding for Preliminary Engineering. He indicated the City has identified specific
design requirements and mitigation that needs to be implemented as part of addressing the freight
rail issue, adding that a meeting has been scheduled with Mark Furman and Mr. Brimeyer to
discuss the City’s position that these particular measures should be funded as part of the light rail
project. He stated the City also desires to discuss the concept of a bonding bill in 2014 to help
finance these mitigation measures and indicated the City has concerns about the matching funds
required from the State for this project.
Representative Winkler suggested that rider language in a bonding bill could be included that
describes the mitigation required as a condition of this project. He added the City should be
prepared for a bonding bill this year.
Mr. Harmening asked if it would be helpful to have the surrounding communities join the City in
its funding request.
Representative Simon replied he felt it would be helpful.
Mr. Brimeyer requested further information regarding the City’s position with respect to fiscal
disparities.
Mr. Harmening explained that the City believes there is merit in looking at the fiscal disparities
law and stated the formula has never been changed since the law was enacted in the early 1970’s.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Mr. Moore and Mr. Franzen and the
legislative representatives for all their efforts on the City’s behalf.
3. Pedestrian and Bicycle System Implementation Plan Update

Councilmember Santa stated that residents in Ward 3 expressed significant opposition to a
sidewalk on 31st Street, and she would be agreeable to removing this sidewalk from the list. She
also stated there was renewed opposition to a sidewalk on 33rd between Aquila and Texas
Avenues. She felt the program should provide opportunities for residents to let the City know
when they see a need for a sidewalk on an ongoing basis.
Councilmember Sanger stated she did not want to delay this program and felt there were some
segments that should be removed from the list. She stated it was her inclination to defer to the
Ward Councilmember on some of the sidewalks, e.g., 31st Street, and felt the City might need to
do further work on removing some of the sidewalks listed. She stated there were some sidewalk
segments she would like to see remain on the list, in spite of some of the opposition, e.g., Cedar
Lake Road and other high traffic areas, adding she would like to use traffic volume as an
indicator of where sidewalks are retained. She stated it appears that the City’s communications
on this matter might not have been as clear as it could have been, noting there were a lot of
questions about whether the City would be special assessing for a sidewalk, and the City needs to
make it clear that residents will not be assessed for this project. She indicated there were a
couple of segments in her Ward that residents asked to be added and that merit further
discussion, e.g., Cedarwood Road, and suggested that Council set aside time at another meeting
to discuss these specific segments.
Councilmember Ross agreed and stated most of her constituents in Ward 4 are against sidewalks
particularly in the Westwood Hills area. She agreed that Council needs to prioritize the list, as
well as to make sure residents have an opportunity on an ongoing basis to request a sidewalk.
She requested that Council further review Louisiana Avenue as it relates to bus stops and the
concerns expressed by residents regarding their front yards and yard space being taken away.
Councilmember Hallfin expressed concern about trying to retrofit sidewalks in his neighborhood
and the resulting hardship to some homeowners, adding that Council needs to be careful how the
sidewalks are designed and to make sure it works for everyone. He asked if consideration was
given to putting a sidewalk on his side of the street because there is more room. He agreed that
those areas where the City has received significant pushback should be delayed or taken off for
the time being.
Councilmember Mavity agreed with Councilmember Santa’s suggestion of providing
opportunities for ongoing input from residents. She expressed support for moving forward in
2013 with the program and providing clear direction to staff. She requested that staff come back
at Council’s next study session with its recommendations for moving forward in 2013, as well as
next steps as part of an intermediate plan.
Councilmember Spano agreed that further input from the Ward Councilmember and residents
should be afforded in those cases where there was significant opposition to a sidewalk. He
added he felt it would make sense for staff to sit down with those residents to go over the
decision making process and how the City arrived at its decision. This might allay some resident
concerns and would provide an opportunity for staff to work with residents and come up with a
solution.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 14, 2013
Councilmember Sanger suggested that the City adopt a design principle about not putting
sidewalks against the curb and having a boulevard strip. She also requested that the City have a
clear policy regarding responsibility for shoveling sidewalks.
Councilmember Spano requested that the City apply consistent criteria when making its
recommendation to Council regarding disputed sidewalks.
Councilmember Santa stated she heard a lot of comments regarding bikeways and trails and
indicated she would like Council to revisit that topic separate from the sidewalk issue.
It was the consensus of the City Council to continue implementation of a portion of the
Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan that consists of projects known to have public support or little
opposition. It was also the consensus of the City Council to further discuss the Pedestrian and
Bicycle Plan at a study session to consider further refinements to the plan.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Mr. Brink, Mr. Rardin, and Mr. Walther for
all their work on this program.
4. 2013 City Council Workshop
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and proposed agenda for the February 1-2, 2013, City
Council workshop.
Ms. Gothberg stated the session on Friday afternoon/evening would include reflective learning
time to discuss how Council wants to work together and understanding Council’s unwritten
rules.
Councilmember Spano agreed with the suggested discussion topics on Friday afternoon and felt
it would be helpful for Council to discuss its expectations of one another.
Councilmember Mavity requested that the workshop include a discussion about the
Environmental Task Force and how that work gets incorporated into Council’s agenda. Mr.
Harmening mentioned that it would be on the January 22nd City Council Meeting agenda.
Councilmember Hallfin agreed that Council should revisit and focus on large bowl issues as well
as Council’s unwritten rules.
Councilmember Ross felt the workshop should focus on how Council communicates with each
other and staff and how best to respond to communication, particularly around conflicts.
Councilmember Sanger stated she did not feel Council needed to spend a lot of time on the
Carver Governance Model. She requested that Council have a discussion regarding a consistent
approach to responding to e-mails.
Councilmember Santa requested that staff pay particular attention to the room setting for the
workshop, adding that a larger room feels less confining and people tend to be more forthcoming
in their comments. She requested that Council have a discussion relative to the Carver
Governance Model, specifically as it relates to the Carver philosophy on dealing with City staff.
Mayor Jacobs agreed that Council should have a discussion regarding how it communicates with
each other. He felt that Council should also work with Council’s constituents and educate them
about the roles of Council.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 14, 2013
Mr. Harmening suggested that the Saturday session focus on a bigger bowl level, e.g., ensuring
organizational alignment, developing a shared understanding of what success looks like, key
outcome indicators, and prioritization of resources. He advised that consultant Craig Rapp
would join the workshop to assist Council in these discussions.
Councilmember Ross requested a discussion about working with staff and/or boards and
commissions when the Council makes decisions that are different than recommendations from
these groups. She also requested that the Council discuss staffing and capacity, given the
number of ongoing projects in the City.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
It was the consensus of the City Council to move forward with the Tobacco-Free policy for
outdoor recreation areas as outlined in written report #8 (Tobacco-Free Policy for Parks).
It was the consensus of the City Council to expand outreach to foreign born and new immigrant
populations in St. Louis Park in partnership with Hennepin County and five other cities as
outlined in written report #5 (Joint Community Police Partnership).
Councilmember Sanger felt the draft zoning ordinance amendment relative to mobile pet
vaccinations was too narrow and should be expanded in terms of where vans might be able to
locate. She suggested that the ordinance also address mobile health vans for humans, e.g.,
mobile mammograms located at a workplace.
Councilmember Mavity stated her inclination would be to have staff look at what currently exists
in the ordinance to see if there is anything prohibiting this type of activity, rather than trying to
define it in a way that does not accurately capture Council’s intent.
Mr. Harmening requested input regarding written report #9 (Zoning Ordinance Amendment –
Student Housing at Educational Facilities).
Councilmember Santa felt the ordinance was too narrowly defined and was similar to spot
zoning.
Councilmember Spano suggested that the Planning Commission address this matter. He added
he discussed this issue with Rabbi Kutoff who agreed the ordinance needs to be more clearly
defined.
Councilmember Sanger stated that the ordinance needs to apply to other schools as well.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Second Reading of Liquor Ordinance Amendment – Culinary Classes On-Sale
License
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve second reading and Adopt Ordinance
amendment to Chapter 3 of City Code concerning a culinary class on-sale liquor license, approve
the summary ordinance for publication.
Motion to Adopt Resolution amending Resolution No. 12-168 adopting annual 2013 liquor
license fees for the license term March 1, 2013 – March 1, 2014.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to amend the city code to allow a
limited on-sale liquor license for culinary classes?
SUMMARY: Minnesota Statutes were amended in 2006 to allow for a limited on-sale liquor
license specifically for culinary classes, but a corresponding ordinance has not yet been
considered by the City. The City Clerk’s Office was recently approached by Byerly’s of St.
Louis Park requesting that Council enact this limited license so that they may serve a limited
amount of wine or intoxicating malt liquor to their class participants.
The Culinary Class Limited On-Sale Intoxicating License, per Minnesota Statutes § 340A.4041,
may be issued to a business establishment not otherwise eligible for an on-sale intoxicating
liquor license, and that, as part of its business, conducts culinary or cooking classes for which
payment is made by each participant or advance reservation required. All provisions of the liquor
ordinances would apply to this section, except that the licensee would not be required to obtain
liquor liability insurance.
The City Council was presented the topic of adding this license by written report at the
December 10, 2012 Study Session. A public hearing was held on January 7, 2013 and Council
approved first reading of the ordinance amendment. If the ordinance and resolution are adopted
at second reading, the new license will take effect on February 15, 2013.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Staff is recommending a license fee of
$100 for a Culinary Class Limited On-sale Intoxicating License to cover costs of providing
administration and enforcement.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Second Reading of Water Access Charge Ordinance
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
establishing a water access charge (WAC) effective 1/1/2014, approve summary ordinance for
publication on January 31, 2013, and to Adopt Resolution setting the WAC fee.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to amend the City Code to
establish a water access charge as proposed by staff?
SUMMARY: A water access charge (WAC) is used by cities as a “buy-in” charge for new
development into the existing water infrastructure. It mitigates existing customers from having to
subsidize the impact of new developments on the city’s water system. Implementing a WAC
adds predictability to the rate structure, as additional infrastructure needed to increase capacity
would be covered by those customers creating the need. This also reduces the potential for
bonding for water infrastructure, although it would add to development costs and possibly
increasing the need for TIF assistance for certain projects.
The first reading of this ordinance took place on December 3. At that time staff indicated that it
desired to defer second reading in order to address additional questions raised by the
development community. Based on these discussions, staff is still recommending approval of
second reading and is now recommending that this ordinance go into effect as of January 1, 2014
(vs. 1/1/13). The proposed effective date was determined following discussions with developers
and the determination by staff that it would be more fair and appropriate to provide time for
developers and others to prepare for implementation of this new fee – which is an added cost.
Staff has been in contact with numerous developers with current projects or who have shown
interest in the City to provide as much advance notice as possible prior to implementation of the
forthcoming WAC. By starting this new fee effective January 1, 2014, it should allow time for
developers to get projects already in the pipeline completed prior to year end, and at the same
time allow developers and others to incorporate the cost of this new fee into their future projects.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The proposed WAC is $750, and is based
on the additional future infrastructure projected to be needed along with the estimated number of
additional WAC units generated over the next 20 years.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Statutory Tort Limits for Liability Insurance
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution electing not to waive the statutory tort limits for liability insurance.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council agree with Staff’s recommendation to continue the past decision not to waive
the statutory tort limits for liability insurance?
BACKGROUND:
Each year the Council is required to pass a resolution indicating if they wish to waive or not
waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability insurance established by Minnesota Statute
466.04.
The statutory liability limits for claims that occur after July 1, 2009 are $500,000 per claimant
and $1,500,000 per occurrence.
The City Council must review and make an election of one of the following three options:
• Not to waive the statutory tort limits
• Waive the limits and not purchase excess liability coverage.
• Waive the limits and purchase excess liability coverage
Option 1 (Current)
If the city elects not to waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to
recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total
which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence would be limited to
$1,500,000.
Option 2
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could potentially recover up to $1,500,000 on a single occurrence. The total
which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort
limits apply would also be limited to $1,500,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
Option 3
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The
total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory
tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the
number of claimants.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 4d) Page 2
Subject: Statutory Tort Limits for Liability Insurance
The City of St. Louis Park in the past has elected to not waive the statutory tort limits and has not
purchased excess liability coverage. Staff recommends continuing this practice and not to waive
the statutory limits. The following resolution allows the statutory tort limits to remain in place
until the Council changes this election. Staff will ask Council to consider this question annually
as required by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City will continue to maintain liability insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota
Cities Insurance Trust in the amount required by State Statute, and the required annual motion
will be in place in preparation for the new policy year.

Project Report: Sanitary Sewer Project Lift Station No. 2 and Forcemain Rehab - Project #2012-
2300
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution accepting the project report, establishing Improvement Project No.
2012-2300, approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for bids for
Improvement Project No. 2012-2300.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council desire to move forward with this project as identified in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (C.I.P.)?
BACKGROUND:
History
Sanitary Sewer Lift Station No. 2 (L.S. #2) is located just north of Methodist Hospital and
handles the largest daily flow of sewage within the City. The station consists of a pump house,
three sanitary sewer pumps, electrical controls and an emergency diesel generator. This station
pumps sewage into a 3000 foot forcemain that ultimately discharges to the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services forcemain near the intersection of Wooddale Avenue and Highway 7.
This lift station was originally constructed in 1971 and has had only minor upgrades over the
years. The pumps, valves, electrical controls, ventilation and other internal components have
reached their life expectancy and are susceptible to failure. Replacement parts for the outdated
infrastructure are becoming difficult to procure and may render the station unserviceable in the
near future.
The consultant firm of TKDA was hired to evaluate and facilitate the rehabilitation of the
stations electrical and mechanical components.
2013 Proposed Project
The proposed project involves an extensive overhaul of the electrical and mechanical
components critical for keeping the lift station operating efficiently and effectively for many
decades. TKDA has designed the upgrades to the station in a manner that allows the lift station
to remain under normal operations while the upgrades are being implementing thus reducing the
rehabilitation costs.
The entire electrical system will be replaced with new state of the art components. The existing
pumps will be replaced with three smaller, more efficient pumps that will use less electricity and
require less maintenance.
The emergency diesel generator and above ground diesel storage tank will be removed from the
station and replaced with a natural gas generator.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 4e) Page 2
Subject: Project Report: Sanitary Sewer Project Lift Station No. 2 & Forcemain Rehab - Project #2012-2300
Project Timeline:
Should the City Council approve this Project, the following schedule is proposed:
• Approval of Plans/Authorization to Bid by City Council January 22, 2013
• Advertise for bids Late January 2013
• Bid Opening February 21, 2013
• Bid Tab Report to City Council; Award contract March 4, 2013
• Begin Construction Early May 2013
• Construction substantially complete Late August 2013
Summary and Recommendations
The work is necessary and feasible to ensure the sanitary sewer lift station operates efficiently
and effectively for many decades. Staff recommends accepting the project report, establishing
the improvement project, approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisement for
bids.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
This project was planned for and is included in the City’s adopted C.I.P. for construction in 2013
using Sanitary Sewer Utility Funds. The C.I.P. estimated this project to cost $475,000. The
Engineer’s current estimate for the total cost of the project is $779,600 which includes
engineering & administration costs. The project as originally envisioned and planned for in the
C.I.P. did not include replacing the electrical service or the generator. These were both
recommended for replacement by TKDA and have been included in the project.
The Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund has a sufficient balance to cover the increase in the project cost
without adversely affecting other programmed improvements identified in the C.I.P.
Cost and funding details are as follows:
Estimated Costs
Construction Cost $712,000
Engineering & Administration $ 67,600
Total $779,600

Approve MnDOT Limited Use Permit - Highway 7 / Louisiana Avenue Interchange Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing execution of a Limited Use Permit with the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for pedestrian trail crossings at Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
History
The City’s Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) identifies the Highway 7/Louisiana Avenue
intersection as a priority improvement project. The proposed project, which provides for the
construction of a grade-separated interchange at Louisiana Avenue and Highway 7, also includes
pedestrian and bicycle friendly improvements along with re-configuration of the frontage roads in
order to improve access, safety, and traffic flow for both the Highway 7 corridor and Louisiana
Avenue. This proposed improvement is essential in meeting long term transportation and safety
needs of both MnDOT and the City as well as quality of life and redevelopment needs in this area of
the City.
MnDOT Limited Use Permit
MnDOT has informed the City that a limited use permit is required to construct a pedestrian trail
across MnDOT right-of-way at Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue. The interchange project includes
construction of two 10 foot trails on both sides of Louisiana Avenue. This permit essentially codifies
the City St. Louis Park as owner / maintainer of the trails and releases MnDOT from that obligation.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Costs for constructing the trails are included in the overall project budget now estimated at
approximately $26.3 million.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The following Strategic Directions and focus areas have been identified by Council.
St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.
Focus will be on:
• Promoting regional transportation issues and related dedicated funding sources
affecting St. Louis Park including but not limited to Highway 100 and SWLRT.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: First Reading - Interim Ordinance on Parking Lots & Parking Businesses in the C-1 &
C-2 Zoning Districts and Authorization of Planning Study
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve First Reading of an interim ordinance
temporarily prohibiting parking lots and parking businesses as principal uses in the C-1 and C-2
zoning districts, and set second reading for February 4, 2013.
Motion to Adopt Resolution directing completion of a study on the regulation of parking lots and
parking businesses and preparation of Official Controls based upon that study.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: This ordinance is prompted by a concern of commercial parking lots being used
for storage of vehicles rather than short term parking. The intent of the interim ordinance is to
give city planning staff time to review various parking issues and practices in the commercial
areas and to consider amendments to the zoning ordinance. A six-month study timeline is
proposed.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Title: 1st Reading - Interim Ordinance Parking Lots, Parking Businesses C-1/C-2 Zoning Districts & Authorize Planning Study
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Currently, the zoning ordinance allows “parking lots” in the C-1 and C-2
zoning districts and “parking businesses” in the C-1 district as principal uses. The zoning
ordinance does not define the term “parking business” and there are no specific conditions
attached to such a use. Parking is at a premium in some locations in the commercial districts,
and the intent of the study would be to review zoning regulations relating to parking lots and
parking businesses. The study would also look at the need for parking businesses or lots as
principal uses.
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: Existing businesses can continue; any changes to the zoning
regulations would apply to future uses.
NEXT STEPS: A second reading can be held at the February 4, 3013 City Council meeting.

AN INTERIM ORDINANCE TEMPORARILY
PROHIBITING PARKING LOTS AND PARKING BUSINESSES
THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. Authority. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355, Subd. 4., the City of St.
Louis Park is authorized to establish interim ordinances to regulate, restrict or prohibit any use or
development in all or a part of the City while the City or its planning consultant is conducting
studies, or has authorized a study to be conducted, or has scheduled a hearing to consider adoption
or amendment of the comprehensive plan or official zoning controls. The City declares that this
Interim Ordinance is established pursuant to the aforementioned statute.
1.02. Findings and Purpose. There are substantial concerns that the current City zoning
ordinance provisions relating to parking lots and parking businesses in the C-1 and C-2 Districts do
not adequately address issues relating to these uses, such as the appropriate locations and the
conditions under which they may be allowed if at all in the C-1 and C-2 Districts. As a result of the
important land use and zoning issues cited above, the City Planning staff will conduct studies for the
purpose of consideration of possible amendments to the City’s official controls to address the issues
concerning these uses. The City finds that this Interim Ordinance must be adopted to protect the
planning process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens.
Section 2. Definition. For purposes of this Ordinance, the following terms shall be defined as
follows:
Parking Lot or Parking Business means the outside storage or parking of a vehicle or
vehicles for any period of time. The terms do not include the parking of vehicles by the
owner of the lot, a tenant, customers or invitees which in all circumstances is directly related
to a lawful principal non-parking lot or non-parking business use being conducted on the lot.
Vehicle means a device for carrying or conveying persons or property, which may be self-
propelled or may be propelled, drawn, or towed by a self-propelled vehicle.
Lot means a parcel of land created by an existing subdivision or described on a deed which
has been recorded in the office of register of deed or registrar of titles of the county and
which is occupied or used or intended for occupancy or use and has common ownership in
its entirety.
Section 3. Prohibition. In accordance with the findings set forth in Section 1.02 and
pursuant to the authority of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subd. 4, there is hereby established
a moratorium on the establishment of a parking lot or parking business within the City in the C-1
and C-2 Zoning Districts.
Section 4. Enforcement. The City may enforce this Ordinance by injunction or any other
appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.

separable from every section, provision or part of this Ordinance. If any section, provision or part
of this Ordinance is adjudged to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such judgment shall
not invalidate any other section, provision or part of this Ordinance.
Section 6. Duration. This Ordinance shall take effect fifteen days after its publication and
shall remain in effect until the date of the adoption by the City Council of the amendments to
official controls contemplated hereunder or six (6) months, whichever occurs first.

TITLE:
Tobacco-Free Policy for Parks
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt a Tobacco-Free Policy for outdoor recreational facilities in St. Louis Park.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to adopt the Tobacco-Free policy for outdoor recreation areas in St.
Louis Park?
BACKGROUND:
When the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission met with the City Council for their annual
review of goals, the City Council asked them to research having a Tobacco-Free Policy for Parks
in the City of St. Louis Park. Staff contacted the MN Tobacco-Free Parks organization and
worked with staff from the St. Louis Park Police Department to discuss this issue. Most of the
cities in the Twin Cities have a Tobacco-Free Ordinance or Policy in place, or are currently in
the process of creating one. After discussions with our Police Department, we are recommending
the City of St Louis Park put in place a policy relating to tobacco in parks. We have discovered
that an ordinance is very difficult to enforce which is why most cities have gone with policies.
The policy being proposed prohibits any form of tobacco at or on any City operated outdoor
recreation facilities including playgrounds, athletic fields, picnic shelters, park shelter buildings,
amphitheater, indoor facilities, skate parks, aquatic parks, parks, walking/hiking trails, restrooms,
concession areas and spectator areas.
Numerous communities in Minnesota already have tobacco free policies on their properties, and
the Tobacco-Free Parks Organization has provided signage for those communities. There are 135
communities, along with 11 counties, in the State that have tobacco free policies.
If implemented, the policy would rely on volunteer compliance and be supported by free
informational signs in the parks, public outreach through the City newsletter and support from
youth athletic organizations. Anyone using tobacco products in prohibited areas would be asked
to either refrain from using those products or remove themselves from the area.
This information was presented as a report to the City Council at their January 14, 2013 Study
Session, to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) at their September 19, 2012
meeting and to the Police Advisory Commission (PAC) at their November 1, 2012 meeting.
Members from both Commissions discussed and recommend adoption of this policy.
The attached policy provides information that many other city and county officials have used to
help support and implement this program. Also included is a list of neighboring communities in
the metro area with tobacco-free policies.
City Council Meeting of January 22, 2013 (Item No. 8b) Page 2
Subject: Tobacco-Free Policy for Parks
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The Tobacco-Free Youth Recreation program will provide informational signage in the parks at
no charge.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
This item falls in line with Vision “St. Louis Park as committed to being a leader in
environmental stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in
all areas of city business.”

City of St. Louis Park’s Parks and Recreation Tobacco-Free Policy
Policy Statement
The City of St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation Department is committed to the quality of life
for all residents; therefore, we believe that:
• Tobacco product use in the proximity of children, youth and adults engaging in or
watching outdoor recreational activities is unhealthy and detrimental to the health of
others.
• Tobacco products once consumed in public spaces are often discarded on the ground,
thus posing a risk of ingestion to toddlers and causing a litter problem.
• As parents, leaders, coaches and officials, we are thought of as role models and the use of
tobacco products around youth has a negative effect on their lifestyle choices.
Tobacco-Free Facilities
No person shall use any form of tobacco at or on any City of St. Louis Park operated outdoor
recreational facilities, including the restrooms, spectator and concession areas. These facilities
include playgrounds, athletic fields, picnic shelters, park shelter buildings, amphitheater, indoor
ice arenas, skate parks, aquatic areas, parks, and walking/hiking trails.
Compliance Procedures
The emphasis of enforcing the Tobacco-Free policy is through voluntary compliance:
• Appropriate City-owned park land, recreational facilities and open space will be signed.
• The policy will be marketed on the City website and Parks & Recreation Brochure.
• Parks Department staff will make periodic observations of recreational facilities to
monitor for compliance.
• Individuals found violating this policy will be reminded of the policy and asked to stop
using tobacco. Failure to follow policy may require ejection/removal from the
recreational facility for the remainder of the day/event.
