UNOFFICIAL MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JANUARY 22, 2013
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Anne Mavity, Julia Ross, Susan Sanger, Sue
Santa, and Jake Spano.
Councilmembers absent: Steve Hallfin.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Administrative Services Intern (Mr. French),
Organizational Development Coordinator (Ms. Gothberg), Environmental Coordinator (Mr.
Vaughan), Director of Parks and Recreation (Ms. Walsh), and Recording Secretary (Ms.
Hughes).
Guests: Tim Brausen, Tom Hillstrom, Kelly Spors, and Terry Gibbs (Environment/
Sustainability Task Force Members)
1. Recommendations from Environment/Sustainability Task Force
Ms. Gothberg presented the staff report and introduced Environment/Sustainability Task Force
Members Tim Brausen, Tom Hillstrom, and Kelly Spors.
Mr. Brausen thanked Council for the opportunity to serve on this task force and stated the task
force’s recommendation is to create the Environment/Sustainability Commission for a
Sustainable St. Louis Park that expands on the traditional model of a commission in St. Louis
Park. He stated the task force feels the appointment of a new commission will further the City’s
mission that St. Louis Park is a leader in environmental stewardship, creating the commission
will enhance Council’s commitment to be an environmental leader in the State, and will provide
an additional tool to address environmental issues and strengthen the City’s commitment to the
environment and sustainability. He indicated the purpose of the commission would be to provide
recommendations to advance the City’s goals, policies, and programs as well as provide advice
and assistance through collaboration with citizens, business leaders, and community groups, and
provide leadership in engaging the community and enhancing participation of citizens. He added
the task force wants the commission to serve as a conduit for sustainability information and
direction from citizens to Council and vice versa.
Mr. Hillstrom stated he enjoyed his work on the task force and City staff was helpful in
facilitating their efforts. He advised that the task force received a presentation from Edina’s
Energy & Environment Commission, which was helpful to the task force and stated one of the
core structures of the Edina model is the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s GreenStep
program that provides structure about what initiatives to advance. He stated the task force
envisions the commission being a dynamic hub for information that deals with the City’s other
commissions and that engages residents by using focus groups to focus on a particular issue, e.g.,
transportation and light rail.
Mr. Brausen stated the task force would like to invite business people to participate in this
process who might have a specific concern and who can offer their expertise. He stated the task
Special City Council Meeting of February 11, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of January 22, 2013
force found there are a lot of people with significant interest and expertise that might be looking
for an opportunity to share their expertise.
Ms. Spors stated there was significant discussion about what this commission would look like
and the task force hopes to create a diverse commission with 11-13 members including two high
school students, two business people, at least one renter, and a representative from the Chamber
of Commerce. She stated the task force also recommends having two co-chairs, one male and
one female, as well as having term limits as a way to make sure the commission continues
getting new perspectives from people. She stated the task force also recommends providing day
care during commission meetings and to have the City subsidize the day care.
Councilmember Ross commended the task force for the significant thought and effort they put
into their work and stated she was impressed with the diversity and dynamics of the task force.
She agreed with the recommendation to include a renter on the commission adding this would
provide an opportunity to engage the City’s renters in this process.
Councilmember Sanger thanked the task force for their efforts and stated her agreement with the
proposed structure of the commission. She felt the GreenStep model was a good starting point
but did not feel this model covered everything and the commission should have some leeway for
additional environmental focal points, e.g., community aesthetics. She expressed concern about
having term limits and the suggestion about the City paying for daycare, explaining that the
City’s other boards and commissions do not have term limits or subsidized day care and this
commission should have the same policies as the rest of the City’s commissions.
Councilmember Mavity thanked the task force for their efforts and stated she was impressed with
the idea of using work groups as a way for people to continue to be involved even though there
would be term limits in place for the commission itself. She felt it was important to create a
barrier-free environment for participation in this effort adding she felt that Council should
consider applying the recommendations regarding term limits and subsidized day care to all of its
boards and commissions.
Councilmember Santa expressed thanks to the task force and felt they did an outstanding job.
She asked what the task force identified as some of the first things this commission should deal
with.
Mr. Brausen stated the task force felt that issues around light rail should be addressed, as well as
how to expand the City’s processes vis-à-vis the GreenStep program. He added that other
possibilities include recycling, rain gardens, assisting citizens in developing more
environmentally friendly practices in managing their yards, and water resources.
Councilmember Santa indicated the City can go broad and shallow or narrow and deep on this
topic and stated she did not like a broad and shallow approach. She stated it will be important
for Council to set priorities so that Council can give clear direction when the commission
structure is approved.
Councilmember Spano agreed with the recommendation to include a renter on the commission
and was pleased to see the business community included. He also agreed with the concept of
using work groups that are tasked with a specific issue.
Special City Council Meeting of February 11, 2013 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of January 22, 2013
Councilmember Sanger felt it was important to include someone on the commission with
technical expertise.
Mr. Gibbs expressed appreciation to Mr. Brausen for the important role he has played over the
years. He also expressed thanks to Ms. Gothberg and Mr. French and all the task force members.
He thanked Council for giving the task force the freedom to come up with its recommendations
and felt the recommendations of the task force offer a truly innovative model that encourages
engagement and participation.
Mayor Jacobs thanked the task force for their efforts.
It was the consensus of the City Council to move forward in implementing the task force
recommendation.
Other Discussion
Council discussed the possibility of a Special City Council meeting on January 28 or 29, 2013.
Mr. Harmening agreed to poll Councilmembers regarding their availability for a Special City
Council meeting.
Councilmember Ross requested further information regarding the City’s process for obtaining
bids from veterans, minorities and women-owned businesses.
Mr. Harmening explained that the City has a comprehensive approach for soliciting bids from
disadvantaged business enterprises and the City is statutorily required to accept the lowest
responsible bid. He agreed to provide Council with the City’s program for soliciting bids.
Councilmember Sanger stated she has been part of the Lenox Senior Foundation for the past six
years and will be going off the Board this spring. She stated the Lenox Senior Foundation would
like to have a Councilmember on its Board and indicated if anyone was interested in serving on
this Board, she would pass their name along to the Lenox Senior Foundation.
The meeting adjourned at 7:22 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Lease Amendment No. 1 to City Agreement No. 4219 with Verizon Wireless
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Amendment No. 1 to City Agreement No.
4219, between the City and Verizon Wireless (VAW) LLC d/b/a Verizon Wireless for
communication antennas on the City’s water tower at 2541 Nevada Avenue.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: Original Agreement - In 1997, the City negotiated an antenna lease agreement
with Verizon (f/k/a US West Communications, Inc.) for placement of up to 9 communication
antennas, located 80’ above ground, on our water tower on Nevada Ave. The agreement was for
a 5-year term with the option of four renewable 5-year terms. The lease is currently in its 3rd
term set to expire in 2017. This was the 4th water tower antenna lease in the City and there are
now 15 leases with 9 providers.
Amendment No. 1 - The existing Agreement allows for 9 antennas at 80’ above ground. The
amendment would allow Verizon to place 12 antennas (3 additional) at 120’ above ground. In
addition, Verizon will be removing and replacing their ground equipment storage building with a
larger sized structure to accommodate their equipment needs. The new building will be
approximately 30’x11’.
The Amendment has been reviewed and found to be acceptable by the City Attorney.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The current lease rate for 2012 was
$13,886.25 per year. The 2013 rent rate will increase to $41,472.00 per year. The rent structure
is based on number of antennas and the height above ground, with the 2012 rate being applied
for all 12 antennas. The financial terms of this agreement require annual lease payments with a
3% annual rate increase.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution granting the West Metro Home
Remodeling Fair’s request for placing temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.

the public right-of-way unless the City Council grants permission for a temporary sign on or over
the public right-of-way for a period not to exceed ten days.”
If approved, all signs will be placed within the public right-of-way at the locations shown on the
attached sign map. Staff will verify placement to avoid visibility-related issues.

diverse housing stock.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: The Figure Skating Club of Minneapolis – Request for Signs in Public Right-of-Way
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution granting the Figure Skating Club
of Minneapolis’s request for placing temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: The Figure Skating Club of Minneapolis is a non-profit organization that will be
hosting the U.S. Figure Skating Midwestern Adult Sectional Figure Skating Championships at
the St. Louis Park Recreational Center on March 8-10, 2013. This event covers the Midwest
reaching from Ohio to Colorado.
The signs will be displayed beginning March 7, and they would be removed at the end of the
final day of the event, March 10.
The request is for 2 foot by 3 foot signs to be placed temporarily within the public right-of-way
in various locations around the City. The purpose of the signage is to provide direction to the
event from the Double Tree Hotel, where most people will be staying.
Section 36-362(e)(2) of the Zoning Code states that prohibited signs include, “Signs on or over
the public right-of-way unless the City Council grants permission for a temporary sign on or over
the public right-of-way for a period not to exceed ten days.”
If approved, all signs will be placed within the public right-of-way at the locations shown on the
attached sign map. Staff will verify placement to avoid visibility-related issues.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Final Payment Resolution - Contract 67-11 American Masonry Restoration – Project
Nos. 2008-3001 & 2008-3002
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing final payment in the
amount of $2,168.65 and accepting work for Fire Stations No. 1 and No. 2 Work Scope 09 (Joint
Sealers) with American Masonry Restoration for Project Nos. 2008-3001 and 2008-3002, City
Contract No. 67-11.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: Bids were received on March 31, 2011 for Two New Fire Stations – Project Nos.
2008-3001 and 2008-3002. The projects included construction of Fire Station No. 1 at 3750
Wooddale Avenue and Fire Station No. 2 at 2262 Louisiana Avenue.
The City used an agency construction manager (CM) delivery method for both fire stations,
rather than a general contractor (GM). With this approach, the City is the owner and general
contractor for the project. The construction manager acts as the city’s advisor and representative
throughout planning, design and construction of the stations. There are 31 different contracts
related to the construction of the two stations.
City Council awarded the contract for Work Scope 09 (Joint Sealers) for Fire Stations No. 1 and
No. 2 to American Masonry Restoration on April 11, 2011, in the amount of $35,413.00. The
Contractor completed this work within the contract time allowed at a final contract cost of
$35,811.00. The $398.00 difference was due to a change order to re-caulk brick joints where
brick was removed for repairs.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The Fire Stations Project was programmed
in the Capital Improvement Program for construction in 2011/12 at a total projected cost of
$15,500,000. The final project costs are expected to be approximately $15,100,000.
$12.5 million of this project cost will be paid from bond proceeds issued in December 2010. The
remaining portion will be paid from the Fire portion of the Police and Fire Pension Fund.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Storm Water Follow Up – Water Quality Activities
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. This item is a follow-up to the discussion the
City Council had on May 29, 2012 and is intended to provide Council with information
regarding:
1. Measures being utilized to prevent or minimize surface water pollution and suggested
improvements (SWPPP)
2. Existing or proposed systems used to monitor / evaluate the quality or health of our water
bodies
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council desire any additional information on:
1. Measures currently being utilized to prevent or minimize surface water pollution
(SWPPP)?
2. The water quality monitoring program staff developed and implemented in 2012?
3. Monitoring results or water body classifications or goals?
SUMMARY: The city has an adopted Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which
is required under the city’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit with the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The SWPPP was developed to enhance the
integrity of surface water through management of the storm water runoff within the City. The
SWPPP was updated in 2006 to meet the requirements of the latest NPDES permit.
During the summer of 2012, staff implemented a first generation water quality monitoring plan,
obtained and evaluated monitoring results, and revised the plan for 2013 use. This monitoring
program will provide us information over time regarding the quality of storm water in our water
bodies which will help us make future decisions related to the effectiveness of SWPPP activities
and possible water quality treatment and improvement projects.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: SWPPP activities are included in the
existing budget. Costs for water quality sampling include staff time and lab costs, and are
currently estimated at less than $10,000 per year.
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.

classification, and management within the city. Staff also provided information regarding the
process and costs associated with treating ponds. At the end of the discussion, Council requested
staff to:
1. provide information on measures being used to prevent or minimize surface water
pollution and suggested improvements
2. provide information on existing or proposed systems used to monitor/evaluate the quality
or health of our water bodies
This report provides the information requested at the May 29, 2012 Study Session.
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)
The city has an adopted Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) which is required
under the city’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit with the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The SWPPP was developed by the City of St. Louis Park to
enhance the integrity of surface water through management of the storm water runoff within the
City. The SWPPP is designed to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the City's storm water
system, to protect and enhance water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate requirements of the
Clean Water Act of 1984. The goal of the SWPPP is to prevent unwanted discharges to the
City's storm sewer system to the maximum extent practicable. The SWPPP was updated in 2006
to meet the requirements of the latest NPDES permit.
The SWPPP is required to include six important components, called Minimum Control Measures
(MCMs):
1. Public education and outreach, which includes teaching citizens about better stormwater
management
2. Public participation: Include citizens in solving stormwater pollution problems. This
includes a required annual meeting and annual report.
3. A plan to detect and eliminate illicit discharges to the stormwater system (like chemical
dumping and wastewater connections)
4. Construction-site runoff controls
5. Post-construction runoff controls
6. Pollution prevention and municipal “good housekeeping” measures, like covering salt
piles and street-sweeping
The city’s SWPPP covers all of these components. The SWPPP details the best management
practices (BMPs) we use to address each MCM, as well as measureable goals and responsible
staff members for each BMP. The entire SWPPP is available on the city’s website at:
http://www.stlouispark.org/webfiles/file/public-works/2008_swppp.pdf. The MCM’s are
described beginning on page 7 of the SWPPP and BMP summary sheets which provide details of
the MCM’s begin on page 25 of the SWPPP.

Title: Storm Water Follow Up – Water Quality Activities
Water Quality Monitoring Program
During the summer of 2012, staff implemented a first generation water quality monitoring plan,
obtained and evaluated monitoring results, and revised the plan for 2013 use (attached).
In simple terms, our monitoring program will provide us information over time regarding the
quality of stormwater in our water bodies. This information will help us make future decisions
related to the effectiveness of SWPPP activities and possible water quality treatments and
improvement projects.
Current water quality information along with water body classifications and goals are tabulated
in the attached “Summary of Water Quality, Management Classifications, and Goals”.
Storm Water System
Annual Water Quality Monitoring Plan
Implemented June 2012
Revised January 2013
Water Body Monitoring
This monitoring program is intended to provide information related to the quality of the
storm water in our water bodies. Sampling of all 27 water bodies will be conducted during
June, July and August annually. Additionally, staff will collect event samples (event size to
be determined) at Bass Lake Preserve, Twin Lakes Sed Basin and Twin Lakes to help
determine the functionality of these water bodies.
Water samples will be tested for Total Phosphorous (TP), Total Suspended Solids (TSS),
Ortho-phosphorous (Ortho-P), Chlorophyll A (Chla), Secchi disc (SD), and water
temperature. Samples will generally be obtained as follows:
• Large water bodies will be sampled in middle of lake/pond.
• Small water bodies and basins will be sampled from the shoreline using a extension
pole
• Samples will be analyzed at local laboratory - Bloomington
• Staff will create and maintain a database of test results for each water body
The Storm Water group (currently Laura Adler, Jim Vaughan, and Scott Anderson) will
review sample results and recommend options for revised monitoring, SWPPP activities,
water treatments, or improvement projects. Staff will continue to gather water quality data to
establish a clearer picture of water quality trends within the City’s water bodies. Monitoring
results will be published on the City’s website.
Minnehaha Creek Monitoring
Staff will collect event samples in Minnehaha Creek at the City boundaries (6 locations, listed
below) to measure the TSS and TP loads in the runoff discharging from our storm system. These
samples allow us to monitor stormwater runoff entering Minnehaha Creek from the St. Louis
Park stormwater system. The locations are:
1. Hwy 169 & Minnetonka Boulevard
2. West 37th Street Bridge
3. Brookview/Edgebrook Avenues
4. Excelsior Boulevard
5. Brook Lane
6. Wood Lane

Title: Storm Water Follow Up – Water Quality Activities Page 4
Additional Information
Water Quality – Criteria
There may be several different standards used for water quality determinations depending
on the water body or the involved agency. Agencies may include the City, the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, the Bassett Creek Water Management
Organization, or the MPCA - among others. It should be noted that each agency could
have slightly different criteria they use for water bodies they are concerned about or
monitor. Agency criteria used for this is shown in attached tables 1 thru 3. Most current
regulations are for large water bodies, which there are few of in St. Louis Park.
Past Samples/Current Situation
Monitoring goals and results will be provided annually in a separate document titled
“Summary of Water Quality, Management Classifications, and Goals”.
MPCA Identified Impaired Waters
Water bodies that have been identified as impaired waters by the MPCA are noted in the
“Summary of Water Quality, Management Classifications, and Goals”.
WQMP Activities (recent and planned)
• Staff implemented the initial WQMP during June of 2012.
• Samples were collected during 2012 and tested for the following:
o Total phosphorous (TP):
o Total suspended solids (TSS):
o Ortho-phosphorous (Ortho-P):
• Staff revised the WQMP during January of 2013 based on 2012 monitoring
results.
• Samples to be collected during 2013 will be tested for:
o Total phosphorous (TP):
o Total suspended solids (TSS):
o Ortho-phosphorous (Ortho-P):
o Chlorophyll A (Chla):
o Secchi disc (SD):

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: 2013 – 2018 Solid Waste Collection Program Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action requested. The purpose of this report and
study session discussion is to update Council on recent activities and next steps in providing for
the proposed 2013-2018 residential curbside collection program and contracts.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Staff seeks input on the following policy questions:
1. Does Council wish to provide for organics collection if it means a rate increase?
2. It is possible individual carts could be used for the collection of garbage, recycling, yard
waste, and organics. Will storage of 3 or more carts be a problem for residents?
3. Some collection options may be simpler on residents (to understand, to do, least change
or impact), but could cost more. Is Council open to increased costs if a collection service
is easier to understand or means less change for residents?
SUMMARY: Staff is completing the review of the collection proposals received from the
vendors (Advanced Disposal, Allied Waste, Randy’s Sanitation, and Waste Management). Prior
to presenting proposal results, staff seeks feedback in several policy areas so recommendations
can be developed for Council consideration.
Next Steps: Based on Council direction, the following is planned:
1. Staff reviews vendor proposals and collection / contract recommendations with Council
2. Staff prepares a contract for Council consideration
Process / Timeline: below are the major steps needed for implementing the new contracts.
Item Completion Date
Staff reviews vendor proposals / recommendations with Council Feb - Mar 2013
Staff negotiates collection contract(s) with vendor(s) Mar 2013
Staff prepares contract(s) for Council consideration Mar 2013
Council approves new collection contract(s) Mar - Apr 2013
Staff conducts public education outreach with residents Apr - Aug 2013
New collection contract(s) begin Oct 1, 2013
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
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 February 11, 2013 (Item No. 3) Page 2
Title: 2013 – 2018 Solid Waste Collection Program Update
BACKGROUND
History
On January 9, 2012, staff presented Council the 2011 Solid Waste Program Survey report to
gauge resident satisfaction and understanding of the solid waste program, and to solicit
suggestions for program improvements.
On February 13, 2012, staff presented Council the Solid Waste Program documents (History of
the Program, Purpose, Goals & Objectives, Current Program Summary, and 2011 Program
Annual Report) to provide a better understanding of the current program.
On March 12, 2012 staff presented Council a summary of best management practices (BMP)
program elements shared by local governments with high recycling/diversion rates, a matrix
showing which of the BMP elements are being used by 19 leading environmental cities, a matrix
showing materials collected curbside in high-yielding communities, and a list of recommended
BMP's and cutting edge practices that the city should consider for our various waste streams.
On April 9, 2012 staff presented Council a summary of advantages and disadvantages for single
sort recycling, a list of surrounding cities that have single sort and dual sort recycling, a matrix
showing BMP Practices used by St. Louis Park and surrounding cities, a matrix showing
materials collected curbside by St. Louis Park and surrounding cities, a list of BMP that could be
added to the program, a list of materials collected at city recycling / reuse centers in our metro
area, and a list of retail drop-off sites in St. Louis Park and surrounding communities.
On May 14, 2012 staff presented Council a summary of the proposed 2013-2018 residential
collection program, a list of materials proposed to be collected curbside compared to high-
yielding cities in the US, a detailed list of recyclable materials proposed to be collected curbside,
possible Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) rate scenarios that provide an economic incentive to
reduce garbage by increasing recycling and collecting organics, and an overview of the
complexities of collecting plastics along with documented health concerns associated with the
manufacture/use/disposal of some plastics.
On June 11, 2012 staff presented Council with a public involvement plan to both inform
residents of the proposed changes and obtain their input on the proposed changes, a detailed list
of what organic materials will be collected with the 2013-2018 residential curbside program, and
what materials can be put in backyard compost bins.
On August 27, 2012 staff brought in industry experts to provide Council information on issues
relating to plastics collection & processing and discuss specific issues with #3 and #6 plastics.
Council requested further information regarding the effectiveness of single sort recycling
collection (i.e., is there a net increase in recycled materials collected this way vs. collected via
the dual or multi-sort method); staff has not received this information from the County yet.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Policy for Spending Lodging Tax Revenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Per previous Council direction, staff recommends approving
the proposed Lodging Tax Revenue Use Policy as outlined in this staff report.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the proposed policy in keeping with the City Council’s intent
and direction from the September 24th Study Session relating to the use of a portion of the
Lodging Tax Revenue the City is able to retain?
SUMMARY: In December, 2010 the City Council approved an ordinance establishing a 3%
lodging tax to fund a local Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB). The lodging tax went into
effect March 1, 2011 and Discover St. Louis Park was created.
Each month the City collects the lodging tax from the lodging establishments in the community
and, under the terms of our operating agreement with Discover St. Louis Park, remits 95% of the
taxes collected to the visitor’s bureau. As authorized by state statute the City retains 5% of the
taxes collected each month. These funds are available for the city to use as it sees fit.
At the September 24, 2012 Study Session, the City Council appeared to be interested in three
ideas for the use of the lodging tax revenue. The options were identified based on a desire to use
it for special projects or initiatives with some relationship to the City’s Vision. From this
discussion, the Council appeared comfortable giving the City Manager discretion to spend the
Lodging Tax Revenue on the following types of activities:
1. Events that draw visitors to the City. The money could be used to help fund City festivals
and events, or music or theater events that bring people into the City. The most recent
example would be the City providing an additional $2,500 to assist Parktacular with the
2013 Block Party/Street Dance at West End.
2. Public Art. The City could commission art projects in City parks or facilities. In addition,
money could be used to maintain, repair or replace existing public art.
3. Architecture enhancements. This fund could be used to enhance the architecture or
aesthetics of existing or new public facilities. This could include architectural services or
actual physical improvements.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City currently has retained
approximately $48,300 from the lodging tax fee thus far and can expect to receive $24,000 to
$35,000 per year from the fee as time goes on.
VISION CONSIDERATION: This policy is consistent with the City’s Strategic Direction
promoting and integrating arts and culture and community aesthetics in all City initiatives.
