Economic Development Authority Meeting of November 18, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes of September 3, 2013
this fund also requires a short-term loan from the Development Fund to cover a portion of
the project. He advised that staff recommends continuing the maximum HRA levy
allowed which is based on the City’s estimated market value, or $949,359, and this levy
amount represents an increase of $48,426 or 5.38% higher than 2013.
It was moved by Commissioner Sanger, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 13-12 Authorizing the Proposed Levy of a Special Benefit Levy
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.033, Subdivision 6, and Approval of a
Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2014.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Spano absent).

EDA Resolution No. 13-13.
Mr. Heintz presented the staff report and indicated the HRA Levy Fund is used to cover a
portion of the Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue project and requires a short-term loan
from the Development Fund. He stated staff recommends setting the maximum loan
amount at $5 million to cover any expenses, as most of the other funding sources for the
project are reimbursement based.
It was moved by Commissioner Hallfin, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 13-13 Authorizing Interfund Loan from the EDA Development Fund
to the HRA Levy Fund.
The motion passed 6-0 (Commissioner Spano absent).

EDA Resolution No. 13-14.
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and explained that TOLD Development is in the
process of refinancing Phase I of the Excelsior & Grand project and has requested that
the EDA and City approve an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement. He
stated that under the 2001 Redevelopment Contract and Subordination Agreement, the
EDA and City agreed to subordinate their rights to the holder of any mortgage securing
construction or permanent financing relating to Phase I of the Excelsior & Grand project,
subject to terms and conditions mutually agreeable by all involved. The terms of the
proposed Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement are substantially identical to
the first agreement, which states that the EDA and City’s rights under the contract are
subordinate to the lender’s rights under its loan documents pertaining to the Phase I
property. The EDA and City do not, however, subordinate their interest to the lender
under the Assessment Agreement for Phase I. He stated that the EDA’s legal counsel
reviewed the proposed Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement and
recommended its approval.
It was moved by Commissioner Mavity, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 13-14 Approving Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement
in Connection with Excelsior & Grand Phase I Refinancing.
The motion passed 7-0.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Decertification of Victoria Ponds TIF District
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the decertification of
the Victoria Ponds TIF District.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA support the early termination of the Victoria
Ponds TIF District?
SUMMARY: The Victoria Ponds TIF District was established on April 1, 1996. This
redevelopment TIF District was created to facilitate the construction of 74 owner-occupied
townhomes east of Victoria Lake. Tax increment from this district was utilized for payment on
the $760,000 PAYGO Note with the project’s developer, SVK Development. Increment was also
used to repay a $700,000 interfund loan for a portion of the construction costs associated with
the Hutchinson Spur Trail. Additionally, tax increment from this District was used to facilitate
three building renovations under the EDA’s Construction Assistance Program (now expired).
On July 1, 2013 the EDA approved a resolution modifying the Tax Increment Financing Plan for
the Victoria Ponds TIF District and authorized the remaining funds within the District be
allocated towards the future installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of 36th Street and
Xenwood Avenue as well as the future reconstruction of the intersection and traffic signal at 36th
Street and Wooddale Avenue.
With the August 1st payment to SVK, the PAYGO Note has been paid in full. Statutorily, once
all outstanding obligations of a TIF district have been satisfied, the TIF district must be
decertified.
At the May 13, 2013 Study Session, the EDA reviewed the TIF Management Review & Analysis
Report prepared by Ehlers & Associates and was informed that the Victoria Ponds TIF District
should be decertified prior to the end of the year for pay 2014. Pursuant to the Report, and as
discussed at the Study Session, it is recommended that the second half 2013 TIF receipts for this
district be returned to the County for redistribution to the respective taxing jurisdictions (City,
County and School District) and the District be terminated.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Decertifying the Victoria Ponds TIF
District will terminate the TIF District 10 years earlier than its legal maximum term thus adding
$33.6 million in taxable market value or $339,602 to the City’s total tax capacity.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

RESOLUTION NO. 13-____
BEING A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DECERTIFICATION OF
THE VICTORIA PONDS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT
OF THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK
WHEREAS, on April 1, 1996, the City of St. Louis Park (the "City") created its Victoria
Ponds Tax Increment Financing District ("District") within its Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the
"Project"); and
WHEREAS, on November 20, 1996, the City of St. Louis Park created a Limited
Revenue Tax Increment Note obligation pledging tax increment from the District (the “Note”), and
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Note and all other bonds and obligations to which
tax increment from the District have been pledged have been paid in full and all other costs of
the Project have been paid; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, Subd. 4(b),
decertification of the District is required upon such payment in full of all obligations of the
District; and
WHEREAS, the City desires by this resolution to cause the decertification of the District,
after which all property taxes generated by property within the District will be distributed in the
same manner as all other property taxes.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the St.
Louis Park Economic Development Authority, that:
1. The District is decertified effective for taxes payable in 2014.
2. Authority staff are authorized and directed to deliver a copy of this resolution to
the Hennepin County Director of Property Taxation together with a request to
decertify the District effective for taxes payable in 2014.
3. Authority staff are further authorized and directed to return to the County any tax
increments from the District not required to pay any pending tax petitions in
connection with the District, for redistribution to all relevant taxing jurisdictions.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Interfund Loan Resolution: 4601 Highway 7 Property Acquisition
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution related to the interfund loan and
the acquisition of 4601 Highway 7.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA wish to preserve the ability to reimburse the
Development Fund for acquisition and site preparation costs in relation to the pending purchase
of 4601 Highway 7?
SUMMARY: On August 5th, the EDA approved a Purchase Agreement to acquire 4601
Highway 7 (subject property). At the October 21st Study Session the EDA affirmed this decision
and instructed staff to proceed and close on the property. Closing is expected to occur in the next
several weeks.
The EDA’s Development Fund will be expending funds for the environmental investigation,
acquisition, demolition, and administrative costs (i.e. legal and financial advisors) related to the
subject property. It may also incur some environmental remediation expenses once the property
is redeveloped. The EDA intends to recoup much of its investment from the future sale or leasing
of the property. The above expenses are also eligible for reimbursement from a future TIF
District (should one be established). Since it may be several years before a TIF district is created
to facilitate redevelopment of this site, the Development Fund needs to “front” these costs. If the
EDA wishes to reimburse the Development Fund for these costs from future TIF funds, then an
interfund loan is required before the property is acquired.
Attached is a resolution authorizing an interfund loan of up to $2,850,000 from the EDA’s
Development Fund to the future TIF District. The EDA will reimburse the Development Fund
for the above referenced costs (as they are advanced) in the current principal amount, together
with interest at the rate of 4% per annum, when land sale proceeds and/or TIF funds become
available. The interest rate is set at the statutory maximum and will not be adjusted annually.
Completing this action provides the EDA with the most flexibility to reimburse itself in the
future if and when a TIF district is created at this location.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: In order to preserve the EDA’s ability to
reimburse the Development Fund for expenses incurred related to the acquisition and future
redevelopment of the 4601 Highway 7 property the EDA must approve an interfund loan
resolution in an amount up to $2,850,000.

RESOLUTION NO. 13-____
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FOR ADVANCE OF
CERTAIN COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH A TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
DISTRICT TO BE CREATED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK AND THE ST.
LOUIS PARK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the St. Louis Park
Economic Development Authority (the "Authority"), as follows:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. The Authority and the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) intend to create in the
future a tax increment financing district (the “TIF District”) within Redevelopment Project No. 1
(the “Project”) in order to provide a funding source to assist in the redevelopment of certain real
property in the City (the “Property”), which Property is scheduled for acquisition by the
Authority in 2013.
1.02. The Authority has determined to pay for certain costs of the Project consisting of
land acquisition, public improvements, including but not limited to design and planning costs
and interest, and for administrative expenses, including but not limited to fees of attorney and
financial advisors, and interest (collectively, the "Qualified Costs"), which costs may be financed
on a temporary basis from City or Authority funds available for such purposes.
1.03. Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the Authority is authorized to
advance money from the Authority’s general fund or any other fund from which such advances
may be legally authorized, in order to finance the Qualified Costs.
1.04. The Authority intends to reimburse itself for the funds advanced for Qualified
Costs from tax increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this
resolution (which terms are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan").
Section 2. Terms of Interfund Loan.
2.01. The Authority hereby authorizes the advance of up to a total of $2,850,000 from the
EDA Development Fund or so much thereof as may be paid as Qualified Costs. The Authority shall
be reimbursed for such advances from tax increments derived from the TIF District, together
with interest at the rate stated below. Interest accrues on the principal amount from the date of
each advance. The maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of
the rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date
the loan or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum interest
rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or
Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate shall be 4% and will not fluctuate.
2.02. Principal and interest ("Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid annually on
December 31 ("Payment Date"), commencing on the first Payment Date, commencing on the
first Payment Date on which the Authority has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on
any other dates determined by the Authority’s Executive Director, through the date of last receipt
of tax increment from the TIF District.
Economic Development Authority Meeting of November 18, 2013 (Item No. 7b) Page 3
Title: Interfund Loan Resolution: 4601 Highway 7 Property Acquisition
2.03. Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax
Increment," which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other
obligations have been paid, or as determined by the Executive Director, generated in the
preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF District and remitted to the
Authority by Hennepin County, all in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to
469.1799, all inclusive, as amended. Payments on this Interfund Loan may be subordinated to
any outstanding or future bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available
Tax Increment, and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in
whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
2.04. The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are
pre-payable in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. No partial prepayment
shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment otherwise required to be made
under this Interfund Loan.
2.05. This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the Authority in
accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation
payable solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this
resolution. This Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a
general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof, including,
without limitation, the City and Authority. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor any political
subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or
other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax Increment, and neither the full faith and
credit nor the taxing power of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is
pledged to the payment of the principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs
incident hereto. The Authority shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the
Interfund Loan or accrued interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final Payment Date.
2.06. The Authority may amend the terms of this Interfund Loan at any time by
resolution of the Board of Commissioners, including a determination to forgive the outstanding
principal amount and accrued interest to the extent permissible under law.
Section 3. Effective Date. This resolution is effective upon the date of its approval.

Trail – Project No. 2014-1010. Resolution No. 13-168.
Mr. Walther presented the staff report and Second Cooperative Agreement with MCWD
related to the trails elements of this project. He explained this phase of the project is the
City’s responsibility to pay for, own, and maintain certain elements, including an 8’ trail
from Meadowbrook Road to Louisiana Avenue and a pedestrian bridge over the creek
designed to handle both bikes and pedestrians, as well as maintenance vehicles or a
police car. He indicated the City will also be improving some of the existing foot paths
coming down from Meadowbrook Manor with crushed granite and connecting to the
paved trail; in addition, there is a scenic spot called out in the plans as a wet prairie glade.
There are also overlooks where benches will be installed that were donated by the St.
Louis Park Rotary. He stated that MCWD’s share of the project is approximately $1.1
City Council Meeting of November 18, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of November 4, 2013
million and the City’s share is up to $460,000 for a total project cost of approximately
$1.6 million.
Councilmember Mavity requested further information about when the trail on the western
edge will connect to Blake Road with the rest of what the Watershed District is doing on
the trails.
Mr. Walther replied the timing of this connection is not yet known and advised that
MCWD has purchased the Cold Storage site and the project has been adopted in
MCWD’s comprehensive plan.
Councilmember Santa asked if the City portion of the trail will be plowed and open year-
round. She noted the City entered into agreements to plow and maintain other trails
owned by Three Rivers and asked if this had been considered for this project.
Mr. Walther replied that it was the City’s intention to have the City portion of the trail
plowed and kept open year-round. He stated the MCWD boardwalk does not lend itself
to clearing snow and will most likely be closed over the winter months.
Councilmember Ross asked how access might be impacted by the potential relocation of
the light rail station and how the trail being closed in winter might impact people in the
Meadowbrook area who want to walk to the light rail station.
Mr. Walther explained there are some barriers along Louisiana Avenue because of the
steep grade changes and added that more direct routes to the future LRT platform, is one
of the issues being explored in the station area planning.
Councilmember Spano requested information about lighting on the trail and asked if the
trail will include emergency phones.
Mr. Walther stated the project does not include lighting or emergency phones. Allowing
for lighting to be added in the future could be explored when MCWD and the City
prepare a Management Plan for the project area.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-168 Authorizing Entering into a Second Cooperative Agreement with
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for the Minnehaha Creek Reach 20 Trails –
Project No. 2014-1010.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. 2014 Employer Benefits Contribution. Resolution No. 13-169.
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and stated the City proposes a $50 increase to the
monthly employer contribution for benefits. She noted the City gives the same dollar
amount to all employee classifications that are benefit eligible. She stated the City went
out for bid on its health insurance and received three bids with HealthPartners providing
the most favorable rate with a two-year rate guarantee and a 12% increase for 2014 and
2015. She also reviewed the other benefits offered to the City’s employees.

Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of November 4, 2013
Councilmember Santa declared her intention to recuse herself from voting on this matter
since her employer, ING, is one of the deferred compensation plan providers.
Councilmember Sanger requested information about the wellness incentive program and
asked how the City will evaluate whether this benefit has been effective in improving
employee health and wellness.
Ms. Deno explained the City is currently gathering wellness data and is hopeful that the
long-term trend shows a reduction in the City’s experience. She added that 170 out of
250 employees are participating in the voluntary wellness program.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to adopt
Resolution No. 13-169 Establishing 2014 Employer Benefits Contribution.
The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilmember Santa abstained).
8c. First Reading of Ordinance Repealing Section 16-33 of the Code of
Ordinances
Ms. Deno presented the staff report and explained that in the past the City was required to
have an ordinance stating that the City is allowed to do background checks but during the
2013 legislative session, a law was passed that eliminated that requirement.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Santa, to approve
First Reading of Ordinance Repealing Section 16-33 of the St. Louis Park Code of
Ordinances Relating to Criminal History Background Investigations and to set Second
Reading for November 18, 2013.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Second Reading of Ordinance Repealing Section 16-33 of the Code of Ordinances
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance
repealing Section 16-33 of the Code of Ordinances relating to criminal history background
investigations for applicants for city employment and volunteer positions and authorize
publication.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council wish to amend the city code regarding
criminal history background checks?
SUMMARY: Since 2008, law enforcement agencies have been permitted to conduct criminal
history background checks for employment and licensing purposes if an ordinance has been
enacted requiring that the background check be conducted.
In 2013, Council approved two amendments (Ordinance 2435-13 and Ordinance 2441-13) to this
code to clarify language based on guidance from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the
League of Minnesota Cities in order to satisfy audit findings from the Minnesota Justice
Information Services.
During the 2013 legislative session, a law was passed that eliminates the requirement for a city to
pass an ordinance in order to conduct criminal history background checks. Due to changes in
legislation we received advice from the city attorney and the League of Minnesota Cities to
repeal this section of our city code.
This change is for housekeeping purposes and the city will continue to conduct background
checks on city employees and volunteers as has been done in the past.
Steps:
• November 4: First reading of ordinance to repeal section 16-33
• November 18: Second reading of ordinance to repeal Section 16-33
• Background check language will be added to the personnel policy. Based on changes in
regulation, this will no longer need Council approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: 2014 -2016 Contract for Boulevard Tree Pruning
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize execution of a contract with Northeast
Tree, Inc., as the 2014 - 2016 Boulevard Tree Pruning contractor in an amount not to exceed
$60,000 per year.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue the City’s boulevard
tree trimming program for 2014 through 2016?
SUMMARY: 2014 will be our eleventh year of city-wide contract rotation boulevard tree
pruning. The goal of this contract is to increase the safety, health and function of all boulevard
trees by removing low branches, removing deadwood and eliminating future impediments to
growth. This contract only covers boulevard trees. Parks and city-owned property trees are
rotationally pruned by Parks Maintenance staff. Reference checks were favorable for the
recommended contractor (Northeast Tree, Inc.) They have successfully completed four years of
boulevard tree pruning contracts for the City of Brooklyn Park.
Pruning by the City contractor will begin on approximately January 2 and continue until March
31, 2014. For this first year they will start in the Browndale neighborhood, continuing into the
Eliot Neighborhood, and then moving to the Eliot View and Blackstone neighborhoods. This
rotational pruning keeps our cyclical tree maintenance on a nine year rotation.
QUOTE ANALYSIS: Northeast Tree, Inc. presented the lowest responsible quote of $187.50
per hour. The comparison quotes based upon specifications for a four person crew with adequate
equipment on a per hour basis, are:
Northeast Tree, Inc.....................................................$187.50 per hour
Precision Landscape & Tree, Inc. ..............................$200.00 per hour
Ostvig Tree, Inc. ........................................................$236.50 per hour
St. Croix Tree Service, Inc. ........................................$358.00 per hour
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Northeast Tree, Inc. will continue to prune
boulevard trees until they reach the $60,000 contract amount annually. As in the past, staff will
closely monitor the contractual obligations and work of the contractor.
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: Housing Authority Meeting Minutes September 11, 2013
Ms. Schnitker introduced Steve Wischmann, of Kern, DeWenter & Viere, Ltd., the
HA’s independent audit firm, to the Commissioners. Mr. Wischmann reviewed the
Communications Letter and the FYE 2012 Audited Financial Statements and stated
that the auditors found no significant concerns with the HA’s financial condition.
Although material weaknesses were noted, the HA has taken steps to remove the
problems where possible. Mr. Wischmann also noted that the HA has healthy levels
of reserves. Commissioner Courtney suggested that in future audits a footnote be
added noting the 21-month fiscal year of April 1, 2010 through December 21, 2011,
in order to better explain significant differences between FYE 123111 and FYE
123112.

Public Hearing Agenda Item: 6a
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Public Hearing – 2014 Liquor License Fees
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to Adopt Resolution
approving 2014 liquor license fees for the license term March 1, 2014 through March 1, 2015
pursuant to M.S.A. Ch. 340A and section 3-59 of the St. Louis Park City Code.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council agree with the proposed liquor license fees for
2014?
SUMMARY: State law requires that the city adopt liquor license fees at a public hearing and
city ordinance permits the Council to set liquor license fees by resolution. Staff has compared
fees to other metro cities fees and also discussed with the Police Department to see if any
increases are warranted. After review of data, it appears St. Louis Park liquor license fees are
consistent with other metro cities, and staff is recommending no fee increases for the 2014 liquor
fees.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: State law sets the limits on what fees may
be charged for certain types of liquor licenses. Where there is no state restriction, the city can set
the fee at an amount to reflect the cost of issuing the license and other costs directly related to the
enforcement. License fees may not be used as a means of raising revenues.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Public Hearing –Byerly’s, Inc., Liquor License
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve On-Sale
Intoxicating and Sunday Sale Liquor License for Byerly’s, Inc., dba Byerly’s, located at 3777
Park Center Blvd., for the license term through March 1, 2015.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to approve the on-sale intoxicating
and Sunday sale liquor license for Byerly’s, Inc.?
SUMMARY: The City received an application from Byerly’s, Inc., dba Byerly’s, for an on-sale
intoxicating and Sunday sale liquor license located at 3777 Park Center Boulevard in St. Louis
Park. The premises will consist of approximately 3,280 sq.ft. with seating for 84. The café area
will have 61 seats and the cooking school area will have 23 seats. The emphasis for the on-sale
liquor license is to offer on-site wine and beer tastings and pairings during cooking classes.
Byerly’s St. Louis Park is now the central location for all Byerly’s catering and this license will
also help expand their catering events to include alcohol service.
Scott Mueller, State Alcohol Enforcement Division Region Inspector; John Tilton, City Chief
Building Official; and the City Clerk’s office have met with representatives from Byerly’s to
review the proposed premises plan to insure all liquor law requirements have been met. Byerly’s
will be using custom made tall planters strategically placed as divider barriers which meet the
requirement that the premises area is compact and contiguous. The floor plan is attached.
Ross Huseby, Byerly’s General Manager will continue to be in charge of the day-to-day
business, including overseeing the stocking and sale of liquor. Mr. Huseby indicated that there
will be minimal alcohol service on site and they will not be selling wine or any other alcohol in
any other manner in the grocery store. With their current operation, they have alcohol
compliance training incorporated into their business model and intend to keep it a priority.
Should Council approve the liquor license, no actual license is issued until final compliance is
met City Inspections Department and State Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division.
The Police Department has run a full background investigation, and nothing was discovered
during the course of this investigation that would warrant denial of the license. The application
and Police report are on file in the Office of the City Clerk, should Council members wish to
review the information prior to the public hearing.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Fees for this applicant include $500 for the
police background investigation and $8,700 for the annual license fee.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve issuance of a

their business located at 8008 Minnetonka Boulevard in St. Louis Park.

• State conducted criminal background investigation on owners and officers
• $10,000 surety bond valid through December 31, 2014
• State renewal fee of $550
• Public hearing to solicit testimony from interested persons
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 53A.04, “Within 30 days after the receipt of a complete
application, the commissioner shall deny the application or submit the application to the
governing body in which the applicant is located. The commissioner may not approve the
application without the concurrence of the governing body. The governing body shall give
published notice of its intention to consider the issue and shall solicit testimony from interested
persons, including those in the community in which the applicant is located. If the governing
body has not approved or disapproved the issue within 60 days of receipt of the application,
concurrence is presumed.”
St. Louis Park Police Department has conducted an additional review of the complete State
background investigation and the Excel Pawn & Jewelry business operating at 8008 Minnetonka
