7a. Establishment of the Oak Hill II Tax Increment Financing District
Mr. Locke presented the staff report and explained the actions required by the EDA to
provide tax increment financing assistance for the Oak Hill II project. He stated that the
developer has requested $300,000 in assistance and establishment of the Oak Hill II TIF
District makes it possible for the EDA to provide that assistance. The Oak Hill II project
will create jobs, including construction jobs and approximately 55 permanent jobs once
construction of the building is complete and the building is fully tenanted. He pointed
out the creation of the TIF District does not commit the City to provide the requested
assistance, it simply creates the funding vehicle to make it possible to reimburse the
developer for a portion of its TIF qualified costs. He advised that the interfund loan
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Subject: EDA Meeting Minutes of January 17, 2012
provides a mechanism by which the City gives itself working capital to get the project
started.
Councilmember Ross stated she had a hard time believing that Anderson-KM Builders
did not have sufficient capital available for this project and was surprised that the
developer met the City’s qualifications for assistance.
Mr. Locke explained that Anderson-KM Builders is a small company with thirty
employees and staff’s analysis of the proposed project supported the need for some type
of assistance to overcome the problems inherent with the site.
Mr. Harmening clarified that the use of tax increment financing assistance for this project
is not the same as the City’s small business assistance program that was used for the
former Bikemasters and Flame Metals buildings. He also stated this project does not use
pooled tax increment, it will generate its own tax increment.
Mr. Locke noted the site’s current assessed value is $700,000 and once construction of
the building is complete, the property’s value will be approximately $3.5 million. He
added the assistance being proposed is solely paid from the new taxes generated by the
project.
It was moved by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Ross, to approve
EDA Resolution No. 12-01 Adopting a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for
Redevelopment Project No. 1, Establishing the Oak Hill II Tax Increment Financing
District Therein and Adopting a Tax Increment Financing Plan Therefor.
The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Ross, to approve
EDA Resolution No. 12-02 Authorizing an Interfund Loan for Advance of Certain Costs
in Connection with the Oak Hill II Tax Increment Financing District.
The motion passed 7-0.

TITLE:
Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve EDA Resolution approving the Sixth Amendment to the Contract for Private
Redevelopment By and Between St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority and Union
Land II LLC, Medley Row, LLC, Webster Group, LLC and Camerata LLC.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the EDA support the revisions to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II, et al as
specified in the proposed Sixth Amendment?
BACKGROUND:
At the December 19, 2011 E DA meeting, approval of the Sixth Amendment to the
Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II (“Redeveloper”) and the issuance of Tax Increment
Revenue Notes were considered. T he TIF Notes were approved; however the Contract
Amendment was continued. The Redeveloper of the Hoigaard Village project was asked to
reconsider the unit mix within the proposed Adagio apartment building. At the January 9th Study
Session the Redeveloper proposed a revised unit mix for the Adagio which included 42 one -
bedrooms, 42 one -bedroom + dens, and 16 t wo-bedroom units. T he revised unit mix was
favorably received and there was consensus to accept it. The EDA action tonight is to approve
the Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al so that the
remaining portions of the Hoigaard Village project may proceed.
The yet to be completed elements, are the Adagio, originally planned to be a 58-unit condo
building; and the 22 row homes called Medley Row. Changing economic conditions since the
inception of the Hoigaard Village project have led to the need for a series of modifications to the
original plan, most notably the shift from owner-occupied to rental units. The two largest
components of the Hoigaard Village project, Harmony Vista (74 units and 25,000 S F of
commercial space); and the 220-unit Camerata, as well as the project’s common elements
(contamination clean up, streets, utilities, regional pond, and site preparation) are all complete
and fully leased. A site plan for the Hoigaard Village project is attached.
The Hoigaard Village project was originally approved by the EDA in the spring of 2006. It was
conceived as a mixed-use development with a variety of housing types and unit configurations
including condos, apartments and townhomes. The Hoigaard Village project unfortunately hit
the market at the height of the recession and the decline in the housing market. Union Land II
has met the challenge of holding the project together during tough economic times. They have
reconfigured the development in a way that is consistent with the original goals of the project
and workable in today’s market; and, they have successfully found the needed investors and
financing to keep the project moving forward.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No.7a) Page 2
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al.
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO REDEVELOPMENT CONTRACT
Conversion of Harmony Vista units from for-sale to rental
The Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II included a
requirement that the Redeveloper use its best efforts to sell the units within Harmony Vista and
report annually to the EDA regarding the status of its marketing efforts. The Redeveloper is
concerned that this provision could be construed in such a way that the EDA had the authority to
decide in an y given year whether the Redeveloper could continue to lease the units within
Harmony Vista or be required to convert them back to for-sale units. The Redeveloper stated that
it needs to pledge Harmony Vista (along with The Camerata) as collateral to obtain financing for
the Adagio and Medley Row projects. The EDA’s requirement creates economic uncertainty for
the income stream from Harmony Vista and, as a result, the Redeveloper maintains it jeopardizes
its financing if the above provision remains in place. The Redeveloper has requested that the
EDA remove this requirement and allow the market to dictate when the units are converted back
to condominiums for sale. As noted previously, it is in the Redeveloper’s financial interest to
sell the units within Harmony Vista and therefore the Redeveloper has the incentive to do so at
the earliest possibility. Given that, it seems reasonable to let the market determine when the
Harmony Vista units should be marketed for sale.
Adagio and Medley Row Elements to be Rental
As expressed at the November 14, 2011 S tudy Session, economic conditions over the past
several years and challenges related to project financing have held back completion of the
remaining portions of Hoigaard Village. Consistent with the above, market conditions do not
support moving forward with owner-occupied condominiums and townhomes as previously
planned. However, Union Land II is prepared to proceed with the construction of the final two
elements if they can be market rate rental housing. The Adagio is now proposed to consist of 100
market rate apartments and Medley Row will consist of 22 town houses (as originally envisioned)
but will be rental rather than for-sale housing. At the above Study Session, the EDA expressed a
willingness to amend the Hoigaard Village Redevelopment Contract to reflect these changes.
Union Land II expects to begin construction on both stages by June 1st and expects to complete
them by the end of 2013. In conformity with the original Hoigaard Village plans, both buildings
will be constructed in such a way as to allow them to be converted to for-sale housing when
market conditions are conducive to do so.
Adagio Unit Mix
In response to the EDA’s direction on December 19th, the Redeveloper adjusted the unit mix
within the Adagio by eliminating the studio units and increasing the number of one-bedroom
units as well as the one bedroom units + dens. The number of two bedroom units stayed the
same. The Adagio’s new proposed unit mix consists of 42 one-bedroom, 42 one-bedroom + dens,
and 16 two bedroom units. Thus, the percentage of larger units (defined as one-bedroom + den
and two-bedroom) within the Adagio increased to 58%. This unit mix was presented at the
January 9th Study Session where it was favorably received and there was consensus support for
approving the project as revised.
Medley Row Units
As noted earlier, Medley Row is proposed as 22 market rate rental town houses. All 22 units will
include two-bedrooms and three-baths. Thus 100% of these units are considered larger units.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No.7a) Page 3
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al.
Overall Project Unit Mix
The proposed mix of units within the Adagio and Medley Row are consistent with market trends
and, when taken in the context of the full Hoigaard Village development, increases the diversity
of Hoigaard Village. Today, 226 of the 294 units (or 77%) are larger than one-bedroom. With
the addition of the Adagio and Medley Row buildings, the unit mix will be 306 units (or 74%)
larger than one-bedroom out of the total 416 units at Hoigaard Village. Thus, nearly three-
quarters of the units within Hoigaard Village could accommodate families should they wish to
live there. The variety of unit types, configurations and sizes as proposed should be suitable for
singles, couples and families.
The appropriate mix of housing unit types for St. Louis Park as a whole is an important policy
question for the EDA/City Council to consider. Staff would suggest that the topic be discussed at
a future study session. The goal would be to establish basic housing policies to guide future
housing development decisions. The Community Vision, market conditions, changing
demographics and development opportunities would be key elements to consider in preparing an
effective policy.
Remaining TIF Note(s) to be Pay–As-You-Go
The proposed Sixth Amendment also authorizes the form of the TIF Notes that were approved
December 19th. These Notes are the means of delivering the EDA’s remaining TIF assistance to
the Redeveloper. Currently the Redevelopment Contract anticipates the EDA/City issuing TIF
Notes suitable for sale to third parties in the financial markets. Given current market conditions,
this is unlikely to occur. The proposed amendment acknowledges this fact; and states that the
EDA and Redeveloper agree that two “pay-as-you-go” TIF Notes totaling $1,020,000 will be
issued as the vehicle for reimbursing the Redeveloper for the eligible expenses related to The
Adagio and Medley Row. This is the EDA’s preferred financing method as it is a simpler, less
complicated and less expensive means of providing the TIF assistance to the Redeveloper. This
streamlined approach was recommended by the EDA’s bond c ounsel and fiscal consultant
(Ehlers). The appropriate language has been incorporated into the proposed amendment.
Terms of Proposed Sixth Amendment
To formalize the proposed revisions discussed above, the parties have agreed to enter into a Sixth
Amendment to the Contract for Private Redevelopment. The proposed terms and conditions of
the Amendment are below.
1. The definition of “Minimum Improvements” is amended to:
Phase I, consisting of a mixed use building containing approximately 25,000
square feet of retail space and at least 74 units of residential condominiums (“Stage
1”)( otherwise known as Harmony Vista), and an apartment building containing at
least 100 units of rental housing ( “Stage 2”) (otherwise known as The Adagio);
Phase II, consisting of at least 22 rental or owner-occupied townhomes (“Stage
3”)(otherwise known as Medley Row) and at least 220 units of rental housing (
“Stage 4”)(otherwise known as The Camerata).
2. Subject to Unavoidable Delays, the Redeveloper shall commence and complete
construction of the Minimum Improvements, in accordance with the following
schedule:

3. The parties recognize that continued weakness in the market for owner-occupied
condominium units has substantially impaired the Redeveloper’s ability to sell residential
units in the Stage 1 Minimum Improvements (the “Stage 1 Residential Units”), or to
construct Stage 3 as owner-occupied townhomes. A ccordingly, the City and EDA
recognize that the Redeveloper will (i) enter into lease agreements with third-party renters
for the Stage 1 residential units, and (ii) construct the Stage 3 townhomes in a manner that
Redeveloper believes will allow it to eventually sell such townhomes to owner-occupants,
but will market and lease the Stage 3 townhomes to third-party renters until such time as
Redeveloper concludes that the market for owner-occupied condominium units has
recovered and Redeveloper is able to actually sell such townhomes. N otwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Contract, the City and EDA expressly recognize that nothing
in the Contract prohibits the Redeveloper from continuing to market the Stage 1 residential
units as rental units or from marketing the Stage 3 townhomes as rental units. Redeveloper
agrees to endeavor to sell the Stage 1 Residential Units and the Stage 3 townhomes to
owner-occupants at the earliest opportunity that Redeveloper determines in its sole
discretion that such sales are economically feasible.
Attached is the proposed Contract Amendment along with the Resolution of Approval for EDA
action. Both were prepared by the EDA’s legal counsel, Kennedy & Graven.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The EDA is obligated to reimburse the Redeveloper for eligible expenses related to the Adagio
and Medley Row components of Hoigaard Village once they are completed; and, the amount of
reimbursement is limited to the available tax increment generated by these developments. Until
the Adagio and Medley Row project components are constructed they will not be contributing to
the tax increment available for reimbursement of the Redeveloper’s TIF-eligible expenses. It
should be noted that the Redeveloper already has incurred the expenses for which it is eligible
for reimbursement. The Redeveloper will have to continue to carry these costs until the
development is completed. Thus, the Redeveloper has every incentive to fully complete the
project sooner rather than later.

EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7a)
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al. Page 8
E. The Redeveloper has requested and the Authority has agreed to modify certain
terms and conditions of the Contract with regard to the Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 Minimum
Improvements, as set forth below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment
shall have the meanings given them in the Contract.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual obligations of the
parties hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows:
1. Amendment to definition of “Minimum Improvements” in Article I of the Contract.
The definition of “Minimum Improvements” is amended to read as follows:
“Minimum Improvements” means the construction on the Redevelopment Property of the
following improvements:
Phase I, consisting of a mixed use building containing approximately 25,000 square feet
of retail space and at least 74 units of residential condominiums (“Stage 1”), and an
apartment building containing at least 100 units of rental housing (“Stage 2”);
Phase II, consisting of at least 22 rental or owner-occupied townhomes (“Stage 3”) and
at least 220 units of rental housing (“Stage 4”).
2. Amendment to Section 4.3(a) of the Contract. Section 4.3(a) of the Contract is
amended to read as follows:
(a) Minimum Improvements. Subject to Unavoidable Delays, the Redeveloper shall
commence and complete construction of the Minimum Improvements, with the specified minimum
market values for Stage 2 and Stage 3 as set forth in the related Assessment Agreement, in
accordance with the following schedule:
Phase/Stage Commencement Completion
Phase I /Stage 1 June 1, 2006 February 28, 2008
Phase I /Stage 2 July 1, 2012 December 31, 2013
Phase II /Stage 3 July 1, 2012 December 31, 2013
Phase II/Stage 4 July 1, 2007 September 1, 2008
The Redeveloper shall cause the parcels on which the Stage 2 and Stage 3 Minimum Improvements
are to be constructed to be seeded and mowed until commencement of construction of said stages.
3. Amendment to Section 4.5(d) of the Contract. Section 4.5(d) of the Contract is
amended to read as follows:
(d) The parties recognize that continued weakness in the market for owner-occupied
condominium units has substantially impaired the Redeveloper’s ability to sell residential units in
the Stage 1 Minimum Improvements (the “Stage 1 Residential Units”), or to construct Stage 3 as
owner-occupied townhomes. Accordingly, the City and Authority recognize that the Redeveloper
will (i) enter into lease agreements with third-party renters for the Stage 1 Residential Units, and (ii)
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7a)
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al. Page 9
construct the Stage 3 townhomes in a manner that Redeveloper believes will allow it to eventually
establish a common interest community and sell such townhomes to owner-occupants, but will
market and lease the Stage 3 t ownhomes to third-party renters until such time as Redeveloper
concludes that the market for owner-occupied condominium units has recovered and Redeveloper is
able to actually sell such townhomes. N otwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the City and Authority expressly recognize that nothing in this Agreement prohibits the
Redeveloper from continuing to market the Stage 1 Residential Units as rental units or from
marketing the Stage 3 townhomes as rental units. Redeveloper agrees to endeavor to sell the Stage
1 Residential Units and the Stage 3 townhomes to owner-occupants at the earliest opportunity that
Redeveloper determines in its sole discretion that such sales are economically feasible.
4. Addition of New Section 7.3(d) of the Contract. The Contract is amended to insert
the following as Section 7.3(d):
(d) Series 2012A and Series 2012B Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that due to the continuing negative environment
for the sale of tax increment revenue notes, the Authority shall reimburse Adagio for a portion of the
Public Redevelopment Costs incurred in connection with the construction of the Stage 2 Minimum
Improvements (the “Stage 2 Costs”) through the issuance of a pay-as-you-go tax increment revenue
note (the “Series 2012A Note”); and shall reimburse Medley Row for a portion of the Public
Redevelopment Costs incurred in connection with the construction of the Stage 3 Minimum
Improvements (the “Stage 3 Costs”) through the issuance of a pay-as-you-go tax increment revenue
note (the “Series 2012B Note”, and together with the Series 2012A Note, the “Notes”) subject to the
terms of this Section.
(i) Terms. To reimburse the Stage 2 Costs, the Authority shall issue and Adagio
shall purchase the Series 2012A Note in the maximum principal amount of $820,000; and to
reimburse the Stage 3 Costs, the Authority shall issue and Medley Row shall purchase the Series
2012B Note in the maximum principal amount of $200,000. The Authority shall issue and deliver
the Notes upon Redeveloper having:
(A) delivered to the Authority one or more certificates signed by the
Redeveloper’s duly authorized representative, containing the following: (i) a
statement that each cost identified in the certificate is a Stage 2 or Stage 3 Cost as
defined in this Agreement and that no part of such cost has been included in any
previous certification; (ii) evidence that each identified Stage 2 or Stage 3 Cost
has been paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Redeveloper; and (iii) a statement
that no unc ured Event of Default by the Redeveloper has occurred and is
continuing under the Agreement. The Authority may, if not satisfied that the
conditions described herein have been met, return any certificate with a statement
of the reasons why it is not acceptable and requesting such further documentation
or clarification as the Authority may reasonably require;
(B) delivered to the Authority an investment letter in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Authority; and
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7a)
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al. Page 10
(C) completed the foundation work for the Stage 2 and Stage 3 Minimum
Improvements.
The terms of the Notes will be substantially those set forth in the form of the Notes shown in
the authorizing resolution attached as Schedule I (the “Authorizing Resolution”), and the Notes will
be subject to all terms of the Authorizing Resolution, which are incorporated herein by reference.
(ii) Termination of right to Notes. In accordance with Section 469.1763,
Subdivision 3 of the TIF Act, as amended by Laws 2009, Chapter 88, Article 5, Section 8,
conditions for delivery of the Notes must be met by February 21, 2016. If the conditions
are not satisfied by such date, the Authority has no further obligations under this Section
7.4(d).
(iii) Assignment of Notes. The Authority acknowledges that the Redeveloper
may assign the Notes to third parties. T he Authority consents to such an assignment,
conditioned upon receipt of an investment letter from such third party in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Authority.
5. Renumbering of and Amendment to Section 7.3(d) of the Contract. Section 7.3(d)
of the Contract is renumbered as Section 7.3(e) and amended to read as follows:
(e) Qualifications. The Redeveloper understands and acknowledges that the
Authority makes no r epresentations or warranties regarding the amount of Available Tax
Increment, or that revenues pledged to the Initial Notes or the Series 2012A or Series 2012B
Notes will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Initial Notes or the Series 2012A
or Series 2012B Notes. Redeveloper expressly acknowledges that estimates of Tax Increment
prepared by the Authority or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF District or this
Agreement are for the benefit of the Authority, and are not intended as representations on which
the Redeveloper may rely. If the Public Redevelopment Costs exceed the net proceeds of the
Initial Notes or if the Stage 2 or Stage 3 Costs exceed the principal amount of the Series 2012A
or Series 2012B Notes, such excess is the sole responsibility of Redeveloper. The parties
acknowledge that the amount of Available Tax Increment generated by the Stage 2 and Stage 3
Minimum Improvements is expected to be smaller than originally estimated, as a result of the
changes in use and delays in construction of the Stage 2 and Stage 3 Minimum Improvements.
6. Amendment to Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(c) of the Contract. Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(c)
of the Contract are amended to read as follows:
(b) Upon an Event of Default by the Redeveloper, the Authority may withhold
payments under any Initial Note or under the Series 2012A or Series 2012B Note in accordance
with its terms, which withheld amount is payable, without interest thereon, on the first payment date
after the default is cured. Upon default under this Agreement with respect to any Stage, the
Authority may withhold Available Tax Increment attributable only to the defaulting Stage, but may
not withhold Available Tax Increment attributable to any Stage for which there is no uncured
default as of the relevant payment date.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7a)
Subject: Sixth Amendment to the Redevelopment Contract with Union Land II LLC, et al. Page 11
(c) Upon default by Redeveloper, the Authority may cancel and rescind or terminate this
Agreement, provided that the Authority may not terminate the Initial Notes or Refunding Notes
or the Series 2012A or Series 2012B Note except in the case of an Event of Default under
Section 6.1 or 6.2 that is not cured within one year following delivery by the Authority to the
Redeveloper of notice of the default.
7. Addition of Schedule I to Contract. The Contract is amended by the addition of a
Schedule I in the form attached hereto.
8. Miscellaneous. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Contract shall remain
in full force and effect. Upon execution, Redeveloper shall reimburse the Authority for all out-of
pocket-costs incurred by the Authority in connection with negotiating, drafting and approval of
this Amendment.

TITLE:
Public Hearing and Resolution Approving the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between
the EDA and Ellipse II LLC (Bader Development).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Conduct the public hearing and Adopt Resolution approving the Purchase and Redevelopment
Contract between the EDA and Ellipse II LLC.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the EDA approve the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the EDA
and Ellipse II LLC to facilitate the construction of the e2 project?
BACKGROUND:
On January 17th the City Council approved the Final Plat and Final PUD along with a Major
Amendment to the Ellipse on Excelsior PUD that would facilitate the proposed e2 project. Thus
all project plans related to e2 have been approved. Approval and execution of the Purchase and
Redevelopment Contract commits Ellipse II LLC to construct the proposed project and the EDA
to the sale of the subject property and the proposed financial assistance.
Ellipse on Excelsior is a five-story, mixed-use building with 132 r esidential apartments and
16,394 square feet of commercial uses on the ground floor located at 3900 Excelsior Boulevard.
The project was developed by Bader Development with tax increment assistance from the EDA
and opened in 2010. It replaced the former Anderson Cleaners and Al’s Liquor. B oth the
residential and commercial spaces of the Ellipse on Excelsior are fully leased. The minimum
assessed value of the property is $17.6 million.
Adjacent to Ellipse on Excelsior is the former American Inn motel property located 3924
Excelsior Boulevard (“subject property”). The EDA purchased the subject property in 2009 for
$750,000 and had the building demolished in preparation for redevelopment. The EDA currently
leases the property to Bader Development for parking purposes.
Bader Development (“Redeveloper”) is proposing to purchase the subject property from the
EDA, remove the existing contamination and prepare the property for redevelopment. Bader
plans to construct a second phase to its Ellipse on Excelsior redevelopment project next door - an
upscale apartment building to be called “e2”. The proposed 58-unit (62-bedroom) market rate
project would be 100% residential. The structure would have five stories including a mezzanine
and would be less than 60 feet tall. e2 would also include one level of underground structured
parking that would be heated and ventilated. The total size of the building including the
structured parking would be approximately 90,000 square feet. The underground garage would
have 73 stalls. e2 would have 31 s urface parking stalls; 9 reserved for visitors and 22 for
commercial parking from the Ellipse. Lastly, 3 on-street parking spaces (that could accommodate
short-term loading) are planned along Excelsior Blvd as part of the project.
Bader envisions commencing the e2 project late this year and completing it in a little more than a
year.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b) Page 2
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II
Property Value and Taxes
The estimated market value of the subject property is less than $900,000 assuming the property
is in developable condition. Upon redevelopment the property will be assessed for approximately
$6.4 million by 2014. Currently, the subject property is tax exempt. Once it is built and occupied,
e2 would generate over $100,000 annually in property taxes.
Developer’s Request for Financial Assistance
The EDA/City Council reviewed Bader’s preliminary TIF application at the September 26, 2011
Study Session where the proposed e2 project and assistance amount were discussed and found
generally acceptable. Proposed business terms for a redevelopment contract for the project were
discussed at the December 12, 2011 Study Session and found acceptable. Thus staff was directed
to work further with the Redeveloper and negotiate final business terms that would enable the
proposed project to proceed.
In reviewing the Redeveloper’s project proforma, Ehlers & Associates analyzed the proposed
project in comparison with general industry standards for land price, construction costs, lease
rates, return on equity/profit, various fees, etc. Overall, Ehlers confirmed Bader’s updated cost
and revenue assumptions were reasonable and appropriate.
e2 is an expensive project to construct and not feasible without financial assistance. Bader
Development is seeking help specifically with the higher cost of site preparation (contamination
cleanup) and underground structured parking. Providing assistance makes it possible to
maximize the development potential of the site and construct a high quality project consistent
with the City’s Design Guidelines for the subject property
The latest cost estimate to excavate, load, haul, and properly dispose of impacted soil and
remediate the subject property in conformance with MPCA standards for a r esidential
development is approximately $1.1 million. Additionally, Bader has requested funding to help
offset a portion of the construction cost related to the structured parking which is estimated in
excess of $2 million. After extensive analysis by Ehlers, and Staff discussion with Bader, a
consensus was reached that $700,000 in pay-as-you-go tax increment assistance and joint pursuit
of cleanup grants would provide sufficient assistance to allow the project to move forward.
Bader’s request for tax increment financing (TIF) assistance is considered reasonable given the
complexity, quality, projected total value, and other economic benefits derived from the
proposed redevelopment.
An updated TIF cash flow analysis prepared for the proposed project shows that $700,000 in tax
increment would likely be generated in approximately 20 years. This assumes construction is
100% completed in 2013, fiscal disparities are taken from within the district (as per EDA
policy), a 5% EDA administrative fee taken from the TIF generated by the project, and no
inflation. The proposed tax increment would be generated from the redevelopment of the subject
property which is located in the Ellipse on Excelsior TIF District. The Ellipse on Excelsior TIF
District encompasses both the Ellipse on Excelsior and e2 properties.
Grant Update
As noted above, the EDA partnered with Bader in preparing grant applications to help fund the
environmental cleanup of the subject property. On October 17, 2011, t he EDA authorized the
submission of grant applications totaling $821,690 to DEED, the Metropolitan Council and
Hennepin County. Recently, staff was informed that each of these grant requests was awarded in
their entirety.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b) Page 3
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II
More recently, the Metropolitan Council announced a grant program to spur Transit Oriented
Development (TOD) near light rail transit. Given that the subject property lies within a half mile
of the future SWLRT Beltline Station, it would be prudent for the EDA to apply for such a grant.
Funds could be applied toward e2’s underground stormwater management system as well as the
removal of the non-contaminated organic soils on the property. The EDA will be asked to
authorize the submission of this application at its February 17th meeting. Any funds awarded
under this initial TOD grant round may be used to reduce the principal amount of tax increment
provided to e2 providing the contamination cleanup costs don’t exceed current estimates.
Proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract
The EDA has been in discussion with Bader Development over the use and redevelopment of
3924 Excelsior Blvd for some time. Bader Development’s proposed project plans and request for
financial assistance have been presented and/or discussed at several study sessions over the past
year. A list of specific business terms was discussed at the December 12, 2011 study session and
was favorably received. These terms served as the basis for the proposed Purchase and
Redevelopment Contract with Ellipse II LLC (Bader Development). The proposed Contract was
prepared by the EDA’s legal counsel, Kennedy & Graven in consultation with staff. The
following are key terms of the proposed Contract between Bader and the EDA.
• The EDA agrees to sell the subject property to Redeveloper at market value for $810,000
or $25.63/SF subject to certain conditions. Closing would likely occur later this fall but
not later than December 1, 2012.
• The Redeveloper agrees to obtain all necessary planning approvals from the City.
• The Redeveloper agrees to cleanup/remediate the subject property in conformance with
MPCA standards for a residential development.
• Redeveloper agrees to construct an upscale, five-story, 58-unit (62-bedroom) apartment
building on the property. The building would include one level of underground structured
parking with 73 s talls. It would also have 31 surface parking stalls; 9 r eserved for
visitors and 22 for customer parking from the Ellipse project next door.
• Construction must commence by January 31, 2013 and be completed by March 1, 2014.
• The project will be constructed in compliance with the City’s Green Building Policy and
Redeveloper agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “green” certification
for the Minimum Improvements.
• In order to offset a portion of the extraordinary costs related to the contamination cleanup
and structured parking the EDA agrees to provide the Redeveloper with $700,000 in pay-as-
you-go tax increment assistance from the Ellipse on Excelsior TIF District at a 5.6% rate.
• The parties agree that the financial assistance proved to the Redeveloper is subject to a
“Lookback” review upon 93% of the building’s leaseup. The amount by which the
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeds eighteen percent (18%) is considered Excess
Income. If the EDA determines that there is Excess Income, it will apply fifty percent
(50%) of that amount toward prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the TIF
Notes.
• Redeveloper agrees it will execute an Assessment Agreement with the EDA specifying the
Assessor's minimum market value for the property will be $6,380,000 as of January 2,
2014.
A Summary of the Contract is attached. The attached authorizing resolution allows for
modifications to the Contract that do not alter the substance of the transaction without bringing
the Contract back to the EDA for formal approval.
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b) Page 4
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II
Business Subsidy
The assistance provided to the Redeveloper under the Agreement does not constitute a “business
subsidy” under the Business Subsidy Act (Section 116J.993 to 116J.995) because this is a
redevelopment where “the recipient’s investment in the purchase of the site and in site preparation is
70% or more of the assessor’s current year’s estimated market value”.
Project Overview
The proposed e2 project clearly has numerous benefits over the current land use. Most notably,
the density of the proposed project would result in a substantial increase in the market value for
the site and hence a greater property tax yield. It would cleanup a contaminated property and
result in the construction of 58 luxury apartments. Visually, it would covert a parking lot into an
attractive residential development that complements the Ellipse on Excelsior development next
door and further enhances the entry into the city from the east. In addition, the project provides
permanent back-up parking for the Ellipse. The proposed project conforms to the criteria
outlined in the city’s TIF Policy for the provision of tax increment. The purpose for providing
the proposed tax increment is to preserve and enhance the tax base, remediate contamination,
redevelop a substandard area, and sustain mixed use development which is desirable for
increased population and life-cycle housing within the city.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Bader Development seeks to purchase the EDA’s property at 3924 Excelsior Blvd for $810,000
and has requested $700,000 in pay-as-you-go tax increment financing to offset the extraordinary
costs associated with contamination cleanup and structured parking related to its proposed $6.4
million redevelopment on the site.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
This project supports the strategic direction of being a connected and engaged community and the
focus area of creating community gathering places.

Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II
2. The parties acknowledge that MPCA has approved a voluntary response action plan
(“VRAP”) providing for remediation of hazardous wastes and contaminants on t he
Redevelopment Property. Redeveloper shall promptly undertake remediation and any other
actions required under the VRAP, subject to the reimbursement as further described in this
Contract. Redeveloper expressly agrees to perform any task or obligation imposed under
the VRAP.
3. The Redeveloper acknowledges that the EDA makes no representations or warranties as to
the condition of the soils on t he Redevelopment Property or the fitness of the
Redevelopment Property for construction of the Minimum Improvements or any other
purpose for which the Redeveloper may make use of such property, and that the assistance
provided to the Redeveloper neither implies any responsibility by the EDA or the City for
any contamination of the Redevelopment Property nor imposes any obligation on such
parties to participate in any cleanup of the Redevelopment Property.
4. The Redeveloper further agrees that it will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the EDA
and City from any claims or actions arising out of the presence, if any, of hazardous wastes
or pollutants existing on the Redevelopment Property, unless and to the extent that such
hazardous wastes or pollutants are present as a result of the actions or omissions of the
indemnitees.
5. To finance a portion of the extraordinary costs of environmental remediation on the
Redevelopment Property (the “Grant-Eligible Costs”), the EDA has applied for and has
received grants from DEED in the amount of $346,690; from the Metropolitan Council in
the amount of $275,000; and from Hennepin County in the amount of $200,000 (the

through the date of termination.
6. The EDA has determined that, in order to make development of the Minimum
Improvements financially feasible, it is necessary to reimburse Redeveloper for a portion of
the cost of the underground structured parking and site preparation related to the
environmental contamination cleanup (the “Public Redevelopment Costs”). The tax
increment from the Ellipse on Excelsior Redevelopment TIF District will be payable to
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b) Page 10
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II
Redeveloper in the form of a single “TIF Note”, which would be structured on t he
following basis:
Issue total: Up to $700,000
Type: Pay-as-you-go
Term: Approximately 20 years
Interest Rate: 5.6%
Admin Fee: 5%
Fiscal Disparities: Paid from within the district
7. The Redeveloper understands and acknowledges that the EDA makes no representations
or warranties regarding the amount of Tax Increment, or that revenues pledged to the
Note will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Note. Any estimates of
Tax Increment prepared by the EDA or its financial advisors in connection with the TIF
District are for the benefit of the EDA and are not intended as representations on which
the Redeveloper may rely. Public Redevelopment Costs exceeding the principal amount
of the Note are the sole responsibility of Redeveloper.
8. The EDA will perform a “lookback” calculation 60 days after the earliest of (i) the date
when 93% of the Apartments are leased; (ii) the date of any Transfer of the Apartments;
or (iii) three years after the date of issuance of the Certificate of Completion for the
project. T he Redeveloper must submit evidence of its actual annualized cumulative
internal rate of return (the “IRR”) from the Apartments, calculated as of the applicable
Lookback Date, along with the estimated annualized cumulative IRR from the
Apartments assuming a sale in the tenth year after the date of issuance of the Certificate
of Completion for the Apartments. The amount by which the IRR exceeds eighteen
percent (18%) shall be referred to as the “Excess Percentage.” The Excess Percentage,
multiplied by Redeveloper’s equity in the Apartments, is the “Participation Amount.” If
the EDA determines that there is a Participation Amount, the EDA shall apply fifty
percent (50%) of the Participation Amount as prepayment of the outstanding principal
amount of the Note.
9. Both parties agree that any assistance provided to the Redeveloper under the Contract is not
a “business subsidy” under Minnesota Statutes because the assistance is for redevelopment.

Redeveloper under this Agreement neither implies any responsibility by the Authority or the City
for any contamination of the Redevelopment Property nor imposes any obligation on such parties to
participate in any cleanup of the Redevelopment Property.
(c) Without limiting its obligations under Section 8.3 of this Agreement, Redeveloper
agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Authority, the City and their governing body
members, officers and employees (the "Indemnified Parties"), from any claims or actions to the

that all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the date
of such draw request.
(e) If the Redeveloper has performed all of its agreements and complied with all
requirements theretofore to be performed or complied with hereunder, including satisfaction of all

any disbursement prior to fulfillment of any condition therefor shall not be construed as a waiver of
such condition, and the Authority shall have the right to require fulfillment of any and all such
conditions prior to authorizing any subsequent disbursement.
(h) The Authority has commenced the application process for a Transit-Oriented
Development grant from the Met Council to further reimburse the Redeveloper for Grant-Eligible
Costs and/or Public Redevelopment Costs, and agrees to monitor the availability of other sources of
grant funds for which the Minimum Improvements and/or the Redevelopment Property may be
eligible, to timely inform the Redeveloper of any grants for which the development of the Minimum
Improvements may be a good candidate, and to apply for such grants if the Redeveloper so requests.
The Redeveloper agrees that if the award of additional grants results in the reimbursement of Grant-
Eligible Costs or Public Redevelopment Costs in an amount that, when added to the assistance
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b)
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II Page 29
granted through the issuance of the Note, is greater than the financing gap demonstrated by the
Redeveloper, the principal amount of the Note may be adjusted accordingly.
(i) The Redeveloper agrees to submit written reports to the Authority from time to time,
containing such information as the Authority requires to remain in compliance with reporting
requirements under the Grant Agreements and state law. T he Authority will provide the
Redeveloper with information regarding required forms.
Section 3.8. Issuance of Note. (a) Generally. The Authority has determined that, in order
to make development of the Minimum Improvements financially feasible, it is necessary to

EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b)
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II Page 30
(d) Assignment of Note. The Authority acknowledges that the Redeveloper may assign
the Note to a third party. The Authority consents to such an assignment, conditioned upon receipt
of an investment letter from such third party in a form reasonably acceptable to the Authority.
(e) Qualifications. The Redeveloper understands and acknowledges that the
Authority makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of Tax Increment, or that
revenues pledged to the Note will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest on the Note. Any
estimates of Tax Increment prepared by the Authority or its financial advisors in connection with
the TIF District or this Agreement are for the benefit of the Authority, and are not intended as
representations on which the Redeveloper may rely. Public Redevelopment Costs exceeding the
principal amount of the Note are the sole responsibility of Redeveloper.
Section 3.9. TIF Lookback.
(a) Generally. The financial assistance to the Redeveloper under this Agreement is based
on certain assumptions regarding likely costs and expenses associated with constructing the
Minimum Improvements. The Authority and the Redeveloper agree that those assumptions will
be reviewed at the times described in this Section, and that the amount of Tax Increment
assistance provided under Section 3.8 will be adjusted accordingly.
(b) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following
definitions:
“Calculation Date” means 60 days after the earliest of (i) the date of Stabilization
for the Minimum Improvements; (ii) the date of any Transfer in whole or in part of the
Minimum Improvements; or (iii) three years after the date of issuance of the Certificate
of Completion for the Minimum Improvements.
“Net Operating Income” means all net rental income from the Minimum
Improvements received in the last fiscal year prior to the Calculation Date, subject to the
following adjustments: (i) if the Minimum Improvements have not reached Stabilization
as of the Calculation Date, income will be calculated as the sum of actual rent, parking
and miscellaneous income plus assumed rent, parking and miscellaneous income for the
space needed to reach 93% lease-up at rates equal to the average rent and parking income
from actual leases and miscellaneous income as of the Calculation Date; (ii) from that
total will be deducted actual fees, operating and management expenses as outlined on
Schedule G hereto (if Stabilization has occurred) or estimated fees, operating and
management expenses as if the Minimum Improvements were 93% leased (if
Stabilization has not occurred).
“Stabilization” means 93% of the Minimum Improvements are leased.
(c) Lookback Calculation. On the applicable Calculation Date, the Redeveloper shall
deliver to the Authority reasonable evidence of its actual annualized cumulative internal rate of
return (the “IRR”) from the Minimum Improvements, calculated as of the applicable Calculation
Date, along with the estimated annualized cumulative IRR from the Minimum Improvements
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b)
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II Page 31
assuming a sale in the tenth year after the date of issuance of the Certificate of Completion for
the Improvements. The IRR shall be calculated based on equity, revenues and expenses in
substantially in the format of the lookback pro forma attached as Schedule G hereto. The
Redeveloper agrees to provide to the Authority any background documentation reasonably
related to the financial data, upon written request from the Authority or the Authority’s financial
consultant. T he Authority may, by written request, require Redeveloper to deliver to the
Authority a written certificate of a certified public accountant regarding total redevelopment
costs and revenues, to be provided at Redeveloper’s expense.
The amount by which the IRR exceeds eighteen percent (18%) shall be referred to as the
“Excess Percentage.” T he Excess Percentage, multiplied by Redeveloper’s equity in the
Apartments (as calculated for purposes of determining the IRR), is the “Participation Amount.”
If the Authority determines that there is a Participation Amount, the Authority shall deliver
written notice to the Redeveloper stating the Participation Amount and applying fifty percent
(50%) of the Participation Amount as prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of the
Note in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Note, effective upon delivery of such notice.
Section 3.10. Business Subsidy. T he Redeveloper warrants and represents that the
Redeveloper’s investment in the purchase of the Redevelopment Property equals at least 70% of
the County assessor’s finalized market value of the Redevelopment Property for the 2011
assessment year, calculated as follows:
Cost of acquisition of Redevelopment Property……...………...$810,000
Assessor's finalized market value
of Redevelopment Property (pay 2012)...................……………$949,000
$810,000 (net acquisition cost) is 85% of $949,000 (assessor's finalized fair market value
of the Redevelopment Property payable in 2012).
Accordingly, the parties agree and understand that the financial assistance described in
this Agreement does not constitute a business subsidy within the meaning of the Business
Subsidy Act. T he Redeveloper releases and waives any claim against the Authority and its
governing body members, officers, agents, servants and employees thereof arising from
application of the Business Subsidy Act to this Agreement, including without limitation any
claim that the Authority failed to comply with the Business Subsidy Act with respect to this
Agreement.
Section 3.11. Payment of Authority Costs. The Redeveloper agrees that it will pay, within
15 days after written notice from the Authority, the reasonable costs of consultants and attorneys
retained by the Authority in connection with any necessary modification of the TIF Plan for the TIF
District, and the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and other incidental agreements and
documents contemplated hereunder, including without limitation agreements and documents related
to land conveyance, development and financing assistance. The Authority will provide written
reports describing the costs accrued under this Section upon request from the Redeveloper, but not
more often than intervals of 45 days. Any amount deposited by the Redeveloper upon filing its
EDA Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 7b)
Subject: Public Hearing & Resolution Approving Purchase & Redev. Contract between EDA & Ellipse II Page 32
application for tax increment financing with the Authority will be credited to the Redeveloper’s
obligation under this Section. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the
Redeveloper remains obligated under this section for costs incurred through the effective date of
termination.

to statute to pay real estate taxes, it is also obligated by reason of this Agreement to pay before
delinquency all real estate taxes assessed against the Redevelopment Property and the Minimum
Improvements. The Redeveloper acknowledges that this obligation creates a contractual right on
behalf of the Authority to sue the Redeveloper or its successors and assigns to collect delinquent
real estate taxes and any penalty or interest thereon and to pay over the same as a tax payment to the
county auditor. In any such suit, the Authority shall also be entitled to recover its costs, expenses
and reasonable attorney fees.

refusal to reconstruct damaged or destroyed property pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement,
except as provided in Section 5.1(e). The Redeveloper also agrees that it will not, prior to the
Maturity Date, seek exemption from property tax for the Redevelopment Property or any portion
thereof or transfer or permit the transfer of the Redevelopment Property to any entity that is exempt
from real property taxes and state law (other than any portion thereof dedicated or conveyed to the
City in accordance with platting of the Redevelopment Property), or apply for a deferral of property
tax on the Redevelopment Property pursuant to any law.
Section 6.3. Assessment Agreement. (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the
Redeveloper shall, with the Authority, execute an assessment agreement pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.177, subd. 8, s pecifying an assessor's minimum market value for the
Redevelopment Property and Minimum Improvements constructed thereon (the “Assessment
Agreement”). The amount of the minimum market value shall be $6,380,000 as of January 2, 2014
and each January 2 thereafter, notwithstanding the status of construction by such dates.
(b) The Assessment Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Schedule I. Nothing in the Assessment Agreement shall limit the discretion of the assessor to assign
a market value to the property in excess of such assessor's minimum market value. The Assessment
Agreement shall remain in force for the period specified in the Assessment Agreement.

Redeveloper under the Mortgage documents.

with respect to any rights or remedies on c ontrols provided in or resulting from this
Agreement with respect to the Redevelopment Property that the Authority would have had,
had there been no such transfer or change. In the absence of specific written agreement by

deemed to relieve the Redeveloper, or any other party bound in any way by this Agreement
or otherwise with respect to the Redevelopment Property, from any of its obligations with
respect thereto.

transfer of any interest in this Agreement or the Redevelopment Property governed by this

conformity with the Agreement, any applicable development program and applicable provisions of
the zoning ordinance of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota, or for the refinancing of the same.

conclusive determination of satisfaction and termination of the agreements and covenants of the
Agreement and of this Deed with respect to the obligation of the Grantee, and its successors and
assigns, to construct the Minimum Improvements and the dates for the beginning and completion
thereof. Such certifications and such determination shall not constitute evidence of compliance with
or satisfaction of any obligation of the Grantee to any holder of a mortgage, or any insurer of a

Grantor shall refuse or fail to provide any such certification in accordance with the provisions of the
Agreement and this Deed, the Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after written request by the
Grantee, provide the Grantee with a written statement indicating in adequate detail in what respects
the Grantee has failed to complete the Minimum Improvements in accordance with the provisions
of the Agreement or is otherwise in default, and what measures or acts it will be necessary, in the
opinion of the Grantor, for the Grantee to take or perform in order to obtain such certification.
SECTION 2.
The Grantee’s rights and interest in the Property are subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 9.3 of the Agreement relating to the Grantor’s right to re-enter and revest in Grantor title to
the Property under conditions specified therein, including but not limited to termination of such

thereof, hereinbefore described, that the Grantee and such successors and assigns shall comply with
all provisions of the Agreement that relate to the Property or use thereof for the periods specified in
the Agreement, including without limitation the covenant set forth in Section 10.3 thereof.

covenants running with the land for the respective terms herein provided, and that they shall, in any
event, and without regard to technical classification or designation, legal or otherwise, and except
only as otherwise specifically provided in this Deed, be binding, to the fullest extent permitted by
law and equity for the benefit and in favor of, and enforceable by, the Grantor against the Grantee,
its successors and assigns, and every successor in interest to the Property, or any part thereof or any
interest therein, and any party in possession or occupancy of the Property or any part thereof.
In amplification, and not in restriction of, the provisions of the preceding section, it is
intended and agreed that the Grantor shall be deemed a beneficiary of the agreements and covenants
provided herein, both for and in its own right, and also for the purposes of protecting the interest of
the community and the other parties, public or private, in whose favor or for whose benefit these
agreements and covenants have been provided. Such agreements and covenants shall run in favor

of any land or interest therein to, or in favor of, which such agreements and covenants relate. The
Grantor shall have the right, in the event of any breach of any such agreement or covenant to
exercise all the rights and remedies, and to maintain any actions or suits at law or in equity or other
proper proceedings to enforce the curing of such breach of agreement or covenant, to which it or

Mr. Harmening presented the proposed special study session agenda for January 17, 2012 and
the proposed study session agenda for January 23, 2012. He indicated that the special study
session is intended to provide Council with a list of recommendations for the Civic Recreation

force members to join the January 23rd discussion with consultant Ellen O’Sullivan.
Councilmember Sanger stated that some residents have expressed an interest in listening to the
speaker on January 23rd and asked what time Ms. O’Sullivan’s presentation will be made. She
also asked if the meeting would be televised, noting that this is a topic of community interest and
suggested that at least this portion of the meeting be televised.
Mr. Harmening replied that Ms. O’Sullivan’s presentation should begin at approximately 7:00

Convention and Visitors Bureau)
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and introduced John Basill, President of Discover St. Louis
Park, and Bruce Nustad, President of TwinWest Chamber of Commerce and Chair of the
Discover St. Louis Park Board.
Mr. Nustad stated that a search firm was hired by the Discover St. Louis Park Board to assist in
hiring a President for the CVB and the Board ultimately selected John Basill. He indicated that
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
Mr. Basill has done a great job getting the organization up and running and the Board is pleased
to have him on board.
Mr. Basill expressed thanks to Mr. Hunt for all his help. He advised that the CVB recently
signed a lease in the Parkdale Plaza and has hired a marketing coordinator and a sales manager.
He stated that they quickly learned that the term “convention and visitors bureau” is not used
much anymore and most CVBs are named to help draw people to a location. He indicated that
they worked through several names before choosing “Discover St. Louis Park.” T he new name
represents a call to action to discover the City, to let people know they can stay here, and it ties
into the experience part where people may decide to live here. He stated that they also reviewed
several tag lines and chose “Comfortably Close” because of the City’s proximity to Minneapolis.
He presented Discover St. Louis Park’s logo and stated the logo is intended to depict the
vibrancy in St. Louis Park and its close proximity to downtown. He discussed the marketing
plan and budget, stating that they are currently working with the American Diabetes Association
and the Alzheimer’s Association on potential sites for future events. He indicated they are also
working with a group on an event in 2014 that would include hotel rooms and fill most of the
City’s gym space. H e advised they are also working with the law firm Gray Plant Mooty
regarding the firm’s annual law seminar. H e also stated they have been in contact with a
company that is interested in holding a meeting at the Doubletree for approximately 100-200
people and would include approximately 60 room nights as well as a tour on Lake Minnetonka or
the Mississippi River. He discussed the amateur sports market and stated that this is a market
they will pursue by working with local youth and sports groups and making sure that people
coming to St. Louis Park talk to Discover St. Louis Park about their lodging and other needs. He
added that the sales manager is reviewing the list of exhibitors at the Uptown Art Fair to see if
Discover St. Louis Park can provide assistance with lodging arrangements.
Councilmember Sanger asked if Discover St. Louis Park will provide shuttle bus service to
events.
Mr. Basill replied that the marketing plan includes further exploring shuttle bus service with the
hotel partners. H e discussed Discover St. Louis Park’s partnership marketing, including
Parktacular and the Rotary, and presented a recent Rotary brochure that was marketed to 140
Rotary Clubs regionally. He advised that the producers of Cavalia have indicated they have
another show called Odyssey but they would not consider coming back until 2016. He stated he
will keep in touch with Cavalia and was hopeful that the City can have the Odyssey show come
to St. Louis Park. He added that the producers of Cavalia were pleased with the show’s ticket
sales and attendance. He then presented examples of Discover St. Louis Park advertisements
that have been run in several publications, including AAA Travel, and was hopeful these
advertisements would generate leads. He stated the marketing plan also includes enhancing the
City’s partnership with Explore Minnesota and other CVBs and they recently entered into a
partnership marketing program with Explore Minnesota. He advised that the Discover St. Louis
Park website should be operational by early March and the goal is to have an interactive website
that will drive hotel bookings and make sure the economic impact stays in St. Louis Park. He
added they are also working on a visitor’s map, a visitor’s guide to St. Louis Park, a restaurant
guide, as well as a brochure for meeting and event planners.
Councilmember Mavity asked if Discover St. Louis Park has had any difficulty in working with
area hotels and whether any changes are needed to the hotel tax structure. She also asked what
the City can do to support the work of Discover St. Louis Park.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
Mr. Basill replied that the hotels have been very responsive and they have had no issues. He
stated that the hotels have accepted the lodging tax and noted that bookings during the week are
high but there is a lot of capacity on the weekends. He indicated that City staff has been very
helpful throughout the start-up process and expressed appreciation for that support.
Councilmember Spano stated that events such as Cavalia require a great deal of coordination,
e.g., making sure all permits are taken care of, and urged Discover St. Louis Park to work with
the City to make sure the process is as seamless as possible.
Councilmember Ross expressed thanks to Mr. Nustad and Mr. Basill for their efforts and was
pleased that everything is going well. S he asked if there are areas where the City may be
lacking, such as a larger facility to hold theater type events or more green space to hold large
events. She added she felt that the name “Discover St. Louis Park” does not set the City apart
enough and the name is similar to “Explore Minnesota.”
Mr. Basill explained their research found that the term “discover” was used the least by other
CVBs and Discover St. Louis Park is being marketed primarily to areas outside the Twin Cities
metro area. He stated they recently met with public theater representatives who are looking for
venues and would like a location in St. Louis Park. He endorsed any type of facility that would
allow them to attract more people to the City, including theaters and a community center.
Councilmember Santa asked if Discover St. Louis Park is actively marketing to the City’s
residents about hotels for out of town guests. She also asked if restaurants will be contacted
about providing discounts to promote the City’s restaurants and nightlife.
Mr. Basill replied they have a list of every neighborhood president and will contact them to see if
they are willing to provide Discover St. Louis Park with their email list. He presented a brochure
called “Crammed for the Holidays?” which was part of the keep it local campaign. He added
that they will also have an e-newsletter. He indicated that restaurants will be contacted about
buying advertising space on the website; in addition, Discover St. Louis Park will be putting
together a restaurant guide and restaurants will be asked to provide discount coupons.
Councilmember Sanger stated that businesses may be holding events at their location but will
have employees coming from other locations who require lodging. She asked if Discover St.
Louis Park is reaching out to these organizations. She added that employees relocating to the
area may also need to stay in a hotel until their house is ready. She also asked about Discover St.
Louis Park’s plans for marketing events related to children and families.
Mr. Basill agreed that employee relocations and out of town employees represent a good market
for Discover St. Louis Park and they are proactively targeting local businesses. He stated that
Discover St. Louis Park’s program budget related to family-type events was increased in an
effort to attract those types of events to the City. He added they recently joined the National
Association of Tournament Directors and have been working with Ms. Walsh and Mr. Birno.
3. Friends of the Arts Annual Report and Update
Ms. Walsh presented the staff report and introduced George Hagemann, Friends of the Arts
board member.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
Mr. Hagemann presented the annual report of Friends of the Arts (FOTA) and explained that
FOTA has three primary projects, including Our Town, Arts & Culture Grants, and the Arts for
Life scholarship program. He stated that this year’s Our Town program, 2012 Our Town: Beats
and Streets, will include a series of drumming activities. He advised that the FOTA grants are
given out several times per year and requested Council’s help in making sure that people
interested in a grant make application to FOTA.
Councilmember Mavity requested further information regarding FOTA’s five or ten year vision.
Mr. Hagemann stated he would like to see the drumming morph into something further where a
grassroots organization enhances the program and uses the marketing and resources of FOTA to
endorse the program. He indicated FOTA has been talking about its long term goals and whether
FOTA can start a multi-phased project, e.g., an art walk that is done over a number of years.
Councilmember Sanger stated she would like to see an emphasis on dance and questioned why
dancers were not part of the drumming program. She indicated there appear to be opportunities
for art events that can help promote the community as well and suggested having public
participation events related to the arts.
Councilmember Ross encouraged FOTA to partner with diverse communities on other types of
cultural events.
Mayor Jacobs stated that the Human Rights Commission sponsored a cultural event a number of
years ago that included a taste event with native foods from around the world and felt that this
was something that could be done around the drumming or other music program.
Mr. Hagemann thanked Council for its support and stated that the money provided by the City
each year allows FOTA to have continuity from year to year. He stated that the arts and culture
section of the City’s website contains information on the public art locations throughout the City.
4. Adagio Unit Mix within Hoigaard Village
Mr. Locke presented the staff report and revised housing unit mix for the Adagio apartment
building within the Hoigaard Village project. He advised that the developer met with his
investor and has eliminated the studio units and increased the number of one bedroom units and
one bedroom units with dens. He stated that approximately two-thirds of the 122 units in the
Adagio and Medley Row will be larger than one bedroom units and will be either one bedroom
plus den or two bedroom units which, when added to the total project of 416 units, 306 of the
units will be one bedroom plus den or larger.
Councilmember Mavity expressed appreciation to staff and Mr. Dunbar for reworking the unit
mix and stated she would support moving forward with the project as presented.
It was the consensus of the City Council to accept the changes made by the developer to the
proposed unit mix.
Councilmember Sanger stated that Council previously indicated it needed to have a larger policy
discussion about the City’s long term housing goals.
Mayor Jacobs suggested that Council have this discussion at its workshop later this month.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
5. Fiber Optic Study
Mr. Pires presented the staff report and provided a brief history of the City’s fiber optic network
and the fiber optic study currently underway by the Fiber Optic Study Task Force. He stated that
the City’s fiber optic network was completed eight years ago and the City has now recouped its
$400,000 investment. He then introduced Rolf Peterson, Chair of the Telecommunications
Advisory Commission, and Joanne Hovis, President of CTC Consulting.
Ms. Hovis discussed CTC Consulting’s work plan and scope of the fiber optic study. She stated
that the City’s investment in this technology is important and cutting edge and the FCC has
indicated that fiber with speed capabilities up to 1 Gbps is what every community requires now.
She felt that the City’s fiber network at 1 Gbps will allow the City to be more competitive, but it
is not possible to predict what the City will need in thirty years given that data needs have
multiplied exponentially over the past several years. She added that fiber itself will not become
obsolete.
Mayor Jacobs stated he felt the City should be doing everything it can to make sure it stays
competitive not only now but in 2050.
Councilmember Ross agreed and stated if the City wants to stay competitive, it has to stay ahead
of the curve. She questioned what the City can do now to make sure areas being redeveloped
have fiber installed.
Mr. Pires stated that staff has been working with the Community Development department
regarding redevelopment in the City, particularly including areas surrounding light rail.
Councilmember Sanger agreed with Mayor Jacobs and asked to what extent the task force is
asking local businesses and major institutions what they need. She stated she felt the goals of the
wi-fi project remain valid, including community connections and opening up connections for
residents, especially residents who cannot afford to pay a cable provider for that connection. She
asked what the City can do to help improve residential connectivity.
Councilmember Santa stated that no matter how strong the fiber optic backbone is, there is a
built-in weakness due to Xcel Energy’s aging electrical infrastructure and felt this needs to be at
least noted as part of the overall fiber optic study.
Ms. Hovis agreed that the study can focus on un-served and underserved communities, similar to
the goals of the wi-fi project. She stated that her inclination, which includes outcomes much less
certain but also much less risky, would be to focus on areas of redevelopment and consider
whether there might be a market for private sector providers to lease capacity from the City and
then invest in a certain neighborhood in providing services. She noted this is a model being
piloted in other areas of the country and the cost is relatively modest.
Councilmember Mavity stated that one of the values the City has is support for its small
businesses and felt that the City should do whatever it can to help provide incentives to bring
small businesses into the City. S he asked if any economies of scale would be realized by
collaborating with other communities.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
Councilmember Sanger requested that the study provide all available alternatives so that Council
can prioritize the alternatives and start a pilot project to see whether it is workable. She stated
that the City’s aging electrical infrastructure will need to be addressed as part of the overall
strategy. She stated she felt that fiber installation should be mandated at the time any large new
redevelopment project begins as well as any time streets are opened up during reconstruction.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if people will be able to have faster speeds through satellite and
requested that the study address that as well.
Mr. Pires understood Council wished the fiber optic study to look long-term, i.e., a generation or
more, and look at all alternatives for Council consideration, including pros, cons, costs, and risks.
He stated that the further information will be presented to Council and other stakeholders
throughout the process, which is anticipated to be completed no later than June.
Councilmember Sanger requested that the City publish a non-technical article for residents
regarding the fiber optic study and explaining why the City is spending money for this study.
Discussion regarding ParkAlert
Mr. Harmening advised that a notice was sent to the entire City on New Year’s Eve between
5:00-6:00 p.m. to remind residents and businesses of parking ban restrictions and further test the
ParkAlert system. Not all councilmembers received the phone call.
Mr. Pires explained that when the City sends a broadcast message, it is sent out through the
City’s provider, 17,000 calls at one time, and the City has learned that in this and other regions
of the country, the capacity of the local phone system is limited in how many calls it can handle
at one time. He stated that staff is working with the broadcast call provider and local phone
company in the City in order to stagger the load on the phone system.
Mr. Zwilling indicated that the issue appears to be primarily with landlines and not cell phones
and the company is aware of it and working on a solution.
6. Proposed Agenda – 2012 City Council Workshop
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and proposed agenda for the City Council workshop on
January 20-21.
Ms. Gothberg discussed the relational learning aspect of the agenda and the discussion that will
occur regarding unwritten rules and protocols. She stated that the location of the workshop will
be provided to Council before the end of the week.
Councilmember Sanger requested that the discussion on Friday with respect to relational learning
be postponed until Councilmember Santa arrives on Friday evening. She asked that Council
discuss the difference between being an At Large Councilmember and Ward Councilmember.
She stated that it would also be helpful when discussing big projects, in addition to knowing the
cost, to understand the City’s long term funding challenges in general.
Councilmember Mavity stated that the housing discussion should be more strategic and not
compartmentalized and should address how the City wants the community to look thirty years
from now and how the City will get there.
It was the consensus of the City Council to approve the City Council workshop agenda.

Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 9, 2012
7. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Councilmember Sanger requested information regarding the Vision check-in meeting.
Ms. Gothberg advised the January 12th Vision check-in meeting will start at 6:00 p.m. in Council
Chambers and 75 people have signed up to attend. She stated that the City Manager will give
introductory remarks, a video on four Vision areas will be presented followed by speakers on
each of the four Vision areas and a short Q&A period, and then the attendees will be split into
groups for a dialogue about the four Vision areas. She indicated she received a number of calls
from Safety in the Park asking whether they can express an opinion about freight rail and while
all residents are welcome to attend the Vision check-in meeting, it is not a public forum on
freight rail and no testimony will be taken at this meeting. She added that Council’s role is to
listen only.
Councilmember Santa stated that she has served as the City Council representative on t he
Community Education Advisory Commission and needs to step aside in order to serve on the
STEP Board and wanted to give another councilmember the opportunity to serve on CEAC.
Mayor Jacobs requested that the City Council Workshop include a discussion about Council’s
role in serving on various community boards and foundations.
Mr. Harmening presented an idea for Council to consider as it relates to how the community can
support its partners in St. Louis Park, particularly STEP, similar to the voluntary heat share
program offered by CenterPoint Energy. He indicated that the City’s utility billing system could
be used that would easily segregate any monies being donated. He added that the City Attorney
has advised that this type of program is legal.
It was the consensus of the City Council to direct staff to provide further information to Council
regarding a voluntary program for donating money for use in the community.
Councilmember Sanger advised that she was invited by the Advisory Council at Lenox to attend
a meeting tomorrow to talk about how Lenox can become relevant for baby boomers.
The meeting adjourned at 9:28 p.m.

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JANUARY 17, 2012
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, Steve Hallfin, Anne Mavity, Susan Sanger, Sue
Santa, and Jake Spano.
Councilmembers absent: Julia Ross.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Director of Parks and Recreation (Ms. Walsh),
and Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes).
1. Review Applicants for Community Recreation Facility Task Force
Ms. Walsh presented the staff report and proposed makeup of the Community Recreation
Facility Task Force. She advised that the makeup of the task force will provide good
representation across the entire City and includes representation from the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Commission, Planning Commission, Community Education Advisory Commission,
youth associations, Lenox, business community, school district, youth, and a representative from
each ward. She added that the various commissions were asked for volunteers and the City did
not ask the commissions to appoint someone.
Mayor Jacobs stated that Council interviewed someone a number of years ago who indicated a
willingness to help the City with this process and asked if this gentleman has been contacted.
Ms. Walsh replied that the resident did not apply but indicated he would participate in any focus
groups. She indicated she could talk with him again if Council is interested in his participation.
Mayor Jacobs felt his input would be valuable.
Councilmember Sanger expressed concern about the process getting hijacked by people pushing
for turf. She also felt that indoor sports should be represented on the task force. She added that
there appears to be a disproportionate number of people from the Minikhada Vista
neighborhood; in addition, she did not see a significant number of older adults on the task force.
Councilmember Mavity stated she hoped that the task force facilitator could adequately corral
the task force conversations in a productive way and was hesitant to remove anyone who has
indicated an interest in serving.
Ms. Walsh stated that the Historical Society has expressed its support of the City’s process with
respect to a community facility and have advised that they are interested in advancing their
storage needs.
Councilmember Sanger indicated she was contacted by someone from the Historical Society
regarding their interest in having space for a display if a community recreation facility is built.

Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of January 17, 2012
Councilmember Spano agreed there did not appear to be a lot of older adults on the task force.
He also expressed concern that the makeup of the task force did not have strong representation of
kids and wanted to see these two groups well represented on the task force.
Ms. Walsh suggested that a better way for the schools to participate may be to bring materials to
the schools at the point when the task force is ready to engage them in discussion.
Councilmember Mavity stated that the task force should serve as a steering committee that is
guiding the process on behalf of the City and that process will include going to Lenox and the
schools for focus group discussions to get input. S he indicated she was comfortable with
appointing all of the proposed task force members.
Councilmember Santa agreed and added the role of the task force will include collecting
information from different groups.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he was comfortable with staff’s recommendation regarding the
makeup of the task force, but expressed concern about managing a 21-member task force.
Councilmember Santa stated it is likely people will drop out of the task force as time goes on due
to other commitments.
Mayor Jacobs stated the task force will guide the process and will serve in an advisory role to
Council, including going out into the community and gathering information from kids, seniors,
neighborhood associations, sports groups, etc., to understand the function of a community center.
Mr. Harmening stated that if the City moves forward with a community recreation facility, it will
be one of the largest projects undertaken by the City and felt it may be appropriate to have a
large task force given the significance of this project.
Councilmember Mavity asked that the role of the task force as well as the timeframe be laid out
clearly and to open up the process for other people in the next phase.
Councilmember Sanger stated it should be made clear to the task force that they will not be
making any final decisions or selecting a site for a community recreation facility. She indicated
one of the roles of this group is to hear different points of view and learn from each other.
Councilmember Hallfin suggested that the task force members take a tour of other community
recreation facilities, similar to the tour taken by Council last year, so the task force can see what
other cities are doing and to spur ideas.
It was the consensus of the City Council to appoint a 21-member community recreation facility
task force, as recommended by staff.
Discussion Regarding Outdoor Recreational Lighting Study
Councilmember Mavity stated the outdoor recreational lighting study is being driven by the
issues at Benilde but similar issues have come up in other developments, e.g., Ellipse, in terms of
how lighting impacts a surrounding community. She asked that the study include looking at how
lighting impacts surrounding residents on an overall basis.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Subject: Special Study Session Minutes of January 17, 2012
Mr. Harmening confirmed that the study is intended to address lighting standards throughout the
City.
Councilmember Spano cautioned the City against coming up with a “one size fits all” solution
because there may be situations where this will not work. He stated there may be instances
where it is left to a neighborhood to come up with a solution that works better for them.
Councilmember Sanger agreed and stated that Benilde has not complied with the City’s
ordinance and brought this on themselves by how its field was designed. She felt it was fine to
revise the ordinance, but was concerned that revising the ordinance in a way that retroactively
lets Benilde off the hook for not complying with the ordinance raises questions about the
process.
The meeting adjourned at 7:09 p.m.

Mr. Walther presented the staff report and explained that Bader Development proposes to
develop the former American Inn site which is currently owned by the EDA. He stated
the e2 project will consist of a five story, 58-unit apartment building with structured
parking and no commercial development. He presented several artist renderings of the
building and stated the development will have a shared driveway off Excelsior Boulevard
with guest parking on a surface lot, as well as surface parking in the garage that is shared
with the Ellipse on Excelsior commercial uses and an underground parking lot. He stated
the City Code requires 62 parking spaces and the e2 project provides 108 parking spaces,
of which 22 a re designated shared parking for the commercial uses at Ellipse on
Excelsior and intended primarily for the restaurant which provides valet service. He
presented the site plan which was reviewed with Council in December when the

to 0.30, increases the floor area ratio to 2.1, and reduces the front and side yard setbacks
consistent with the Preliminary PUD. He added the e2 PUD also requires that 22 shared
parking stalls be protected by an easement and requires that a parking management plan
be approved as part of the PUD.
Councilmember Mavity noted that as part of the larger discussion regarding this project,
Council discussed the parking issues and the importance of making sure parking stays on

neighborhood to address parking concerns, including the possibility of expanded permit
parking, and urged staff to continue to address the parking issues.
Councilmember Spano requested further information regarding the properties located on
the back side of the development and asked what these properties will be looking at when

presented the artist rendering of the back of the building and the results of the shadow
study, which shows the development meets the City’s Ordinance requirements.

1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – February 13, 2012
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed study session agenda for February 13, 2012.
2. 2012 Annual Legislative Update
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and list of 2012 legislative issues and priorities. He
indicated that the grade separated crossing project at Highway 7 a nd Louisiana Avenue is
nearing a critical point and the City faces challenges related to funding for the remainder of the
project. He advised the City has secured a grant from the Transportation Advisory Board as part
of the Surface Transportation Program (STP) and the City has requested and received
preliminary approval for an extension to the 2012 federal funding sunset until 2013 to start the
project. He stated that if the project is not underway by the Spring of 2013, the City will lose
the STP funding and other State assistance, thereby making the project even more difficult, if not
impossible, to accomplish. He noted that the Governor’s bonding bill has $10 million set aside
for a transportation economic development program and the City is hopeful that funding will be
made available through this bonding bill and approved as quickly as possible so the City can
make application for funding.
Mayor Jacobs indicated that this project will provide local benefit along Louisiana Avenue,
particularly given the planned light rail station at this location.
Councilmember Mavity stated that light rail will impact circulation in this area and asked if this
will provide an opportunity to leverage funding for the project.
Commissioner Dorfman stated the City may be able to make the argument that funding for this
project should be provided as part of its station area planning with respect to light rail. She added
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3e) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 23, 2012
the City could also try to obtain funding for the project through mitigation for light rail, although
she felt that might be a stretch going through the DEIS.
Mr. Rardin advised the project has to be submitted by March 2013, including right-of-way
certifications, and then Mn/DOT would authorize the project no later than June 2013. He noted
the City would likely start sooner because of the staging associated with the project, including
utility relocations.
Mr. Harmening noted that in order to be ready by 2013, the City will need to buy property later
this year which represents a significant amount of money.
Mr. Brimeyer asked if the City has applied for transit oriented funds for some of the costs of the
project as it relates to the transit corridor.
Mayor Jacobs requested that information regarding these funds be forwarded to the City.
Council discussed options for funding the Highway 7 a nd Louisiana Avenue project and
encouraged the legislative representatives to support the City’s efforts in this regard.
Mr. Harmening advised that the Governor has set aside $25 million in the 2012 bonding bill for
the Southwest Light Rail Transit (SWLRT) project and the City supports this request and
encourages the State to fully participate to make the entire project a reality.
Commissioner Dorfman indicated that the SWLRT project appears to be one of the targets in the
bonding session and encouraged all the cities along the corridor to continue their conversations
with their legislators regarding this project.
Representative Simon stated that TwinWest Chamber of Commerce has been very supportive of
SWLRT and will push to have the project included in the bonding bill.
Mr. Harmening stated that the City’s list of legislative issues includes concerns about fiscal
disparities and noted the City’s net contribution to the fiscal disparities pool has doubled in the
last few years with the City ranking in the top ten within the metro as a net loser from a fiscal
disparities perspective. He indicated the City recognizes that its commercial and industrial tax
base is growing, however, most of the City’s commercial development is done through
redevelopment which involves tax increment financing so the City is not gaining directly while
other cities are benefiting from the value created by St. Louis Park. He added the City is very
thankful for its commercial and industrial tax base and is looking forward to the results of the
State-ordered study on fiscal disparities to be issued in February.
Councilmember Mavity questioned whether the fiscal disparities formula could be tweaked to
incorporate tax increment financing.
Mr. Harmening stated a bill is scheduled to be heard on January 26th regarding moratoriums
which would significantly weaken the ability of cities to impose interim ordinances or zoning
moratoriums to allow studies to be done on land use related issues.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3e) Page 3
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 23, 2012
Councilmember Mavity advised that the City Council has decided to heavily invest in sidewalks
and trails in response to resident input. She requested legislative support for complete streets
types of projects and referenced Highway 100, Highway 7, and light rail.
Commissioner Dorfman stated that the County and several other cities have passed a complete
streets policy and encouraged the City to do the same.
Councilmember Mavity asked if a complete streets policy would open doors to additional
funding for the City.
Commissioner Dorfman replied that it might and stated the County is hoping to identify some
funding for this.
Mr. Brimeyer advised that the Met Council has identified several priorities, including a 21st
century transit system, being more actively involved in economic development, and adopting a
revised housing policy that does not force communities to have affordable housing but rather
targets opportunities for cities to apply for funding related to affordable housing. He stated the
Met Council also wants to be more active as it relates to transportation issues and felt the State
should not be funding light rail or bus operations.
Councilmember Ross stated that ridership is anticipated to increase when light rail is completed
and asked if the Met Council is considering increased ridership in terms of restructuring bus
service to make it more accessible on local streets. She also asked that consideration be given to
making sure adequate parking facilities are available.
Mr. Brimeyer stated that Met Council looks at ridership every year.
Councilmember Sanger expressed concern regarding the inconvenience created when frequency
of bus service is reduced and people end up driving because of the reduced bus service.
Senator Latz stated that the State’s budget forecast is projected to be positive with no additional
cuts needed. He felt the 2012 legislative session will be short and intense, and there will likely
be some efforts to direct funds to the State’s reserve and cash flow accounts and to pay back the
schools. He added there will likely be a lot of attention given to the Governor’s bonding bill and
the proposed Vikings stadium, as well as the controversy over the Legacy Amendment funding.
Representative Winkler stated a l ot of attention will also be directed toward the Constitutional
amendments, including Voter ID, the super majority rule to increase taxes, and the right to work
bill.
Representative Simon stated that the decision regarding redistricting will be published on
February 21st.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks to Senator Latz, Representative Simon,
Representative Winkler, Hennepin County Commissioner Dorfman, and Metropolitan Council
representative Brimeyer.
3. Community Recreation Facility Study with Consultant: Trends in Recreation,
Facilities and Other Gathering Places
Mayor Jacobs welcomed everyone to the meeting and thanked them for participating in the
discussion regarding a community recreation facility.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3e) Page 4
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 23, 2012
Ms. Walsh introduced Dr. Ellen O’Sullivan and provided brief biographical information
regarding Dr. O’Sullivan.
Dr. O’Sullivan welcomed everyone and stated she was pleased to see such a great turnout. She
presented an outline of the discussion, including a review of trends and emerging directions, the
participant’s thoughts about potential implications for St. Louis Park, and identifying elements
and aspects for possible gathering spaces. She reviewed shifts in behavior including how we
live, work, learn, and play, as well as demographics in the City, State, and across the country.
She explained that typical senior centers are going to shift throughout the country to a more
active living facility or gathering place. She then asked each table of participants to think about
trends, changes in behavior, and what the future is going to look like and to generate a list of
activities that might be included in a community center or gathering space in St. Louis Park.
Each table recited their list and Dr. O’Sullivan noted a recurring theme of a multi-generational
use facility and unstructured gathering places to keep folks active year-round. She then asked
each group to identify opportunities and conditions or feelings they would like to see in a
community facility. Each table recited their list, which included a warm, inviting place where all
ages are invited, a m ulti-use space incorporating the arts, a place to hang out with tech
availability, in touch with nature even though you are inside, energized, clean, comfortable,
accessible without driving to the facility, a community theater, a place for learning, an indoor
gym for various uses, a water park, financially accessible, good value, accessible to trails and
light rail, central location, a space where youth want to hang out and to let youth have say in it,
strong emphasis on arts with a theater, hands-on workshops, studios, pet drop-in/daycare, healthy
eating food court, healthy lifestyle living area, a place that should feel caring, welcoming, and
that makes you feel proud and lucky to be there.
Dr. O’Sullivan noted the participants felt that any facility should feel welcoming and
comfortable, which is critical to anything that is considered a gathering spot. She stated that the
traditional senior center concept is a significant issue and will require a transition so that older
adults feel they have a spot where they belong. She reminded the City to think about what is
right for St. Louis Park as opposed to what everybody else has. She also encouraged the task
force to ask what outcomes people want in a community recreation facility to make sure it will
meet specific needs in the community.
Councilmember Ross stated it will be important for the City to stay ahead of trends and remain
flexible enough so that its community center will remain viable for years to come.
Councilmember Spano stated it will also be important to make sure the facility relies on green
technology as much as possible.
Dr. O’Sullivan advised that the lists created by the participants will be compiled and distributed
to the community recreation task force.
4. 2011 Telecommunications Advisory Commission Annual Report
5. Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission 2011 Annual Report and 2012 Work
Plan
Mr. Harmening presented both staff reports for the Telecommunications Advisory Commission’s
(TAC) 2011 annual report and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission 2011 annual
report and 2012 work plan.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 3e) Page 5
Subject: Study Session Minutes of January 23, 2012
Councilmember Mavity stated that she would like to see more women members on the
Telecommunications Advisory Commission, as well as on the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission.
Council discussed the ongoing work of the TAC with respect to the fiber optic study and whether
to meet with the TAC. Council also discussed the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission’s
work regarding a community recreation facility.
Councilmember Ross questioned whether the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission
should be in charge of coming up with two or three standard questions that all committees could
think about when planning projects in terms of how these projects impact the environment and
what can be done to lessen that impact. She added that this task would be handled by the
Environmental Committee once it is formed and felt that the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Commission could help with that process in the interim.
Councilmember Sanger felt it was the obligation of every staff person who serves as a liaison to
the various commissions to assess environmental impacts of all proposed projects.
Councilmember Mavity noted that Council has not met with the Housing Authority and felt it
was important to meet as well.
Councilmember Santa indicated Council has not met with BOZA and felt a meeting should be
scheduled with BOZA given the Supreme Court ruling regarding variances.
It was the consensus of the City Council to continue to receive annual reports and work plans of
the various Boards and Commissions and to meet with the Commissions following receipt of
their annual reports.
It was also the consensus of the City Council to meet with the Telecommunications Advisory
Commission after completion of the fiber optic study; and to meet with the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Commission at a point when the Commission is ready to report on the work of the

TITLE:
Approve Participation in the MnWARN Network.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the City of St. Louis Park to be a party to Minnesota
Water Agency Response Network (MnWARN).
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to participate in the MnWARN network?
BACKGROUND:
History
Staff provided the Council with background information on this topic in a January 9, 2012 Study
Session report. The report summary concluded it was beneficial for the City to participate in the
MnWARN network with staff intent to provide Council a consent item on February 6, 2012
approving the MnWARN Mutual Aid Agreement.
Minnesota Water Agency Response Network (MNWARN)
In summary, MnWARN is a statewide Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN)
of “utilities helping utilities” which assists members with:
• Emergency assessment, emergency response, and recovery
• Mutual Aid Agreement for sharing emergency resources with members
• Resources to help recover from a disaster
• Emergency contact network
• Voluntary participation
MnWARN was developed as a "utilities helping utilities" concept; it is a formal emergency
response network relating to the water sector. The centerpiece of MnWARN is a mutual aid
agreement whereby city water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities agree that, in an emergency,
they will assist one another with personnel, equipment, and materials. The MnWARN mutual
aid agreement, which was developed with assistance from the League of Minnesota Cities
(LMC), defines "emergency" as "any occurrence that is, or is likely to be, beyond the control of
the services, personnel, equipment, or facilities" of a city's water utility. The objective is to
provide for the rapid, short-term deployment of resources to restore critical operations of affected
water utilities. T he mutual aid agreement addresses how damage to property, workers'
compensation, and liability will be handled between the city providing assistance and the city
receiving assistance.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4b) Page 2
Subject: Approve Participation in the MnWARN Network
The MnWARN mutual aid agreement does not obligate a utility to provide or receive aid but
provides a useful tool in an emergency situation. Some of the benefits of having an agreement in
place prior to an emergency include:
1. Increased planning and coordination. Agreements facilitate planning for
incident response, and help identify the people involved.
2. Enhanced access to specialized resources. Agreements help ensure the timely
arrival of vital equipment and personnel.
3. Expedited arrival of aid. Mutual aid agreements streamline procedural steps so that
resources can be easily requested and arrive in a timely manner.
4. Reduced administrative conflict. Mutual aid agreements clarify liability, reimbursement,
and other administrative matters that could impede response in the absence of an
agreement.
The LMC partners with many other organizations to build strong, vital Minnesota communities.
MnWARN is one of those partners and is identified on t he LMC website as one of many
“Affiliate City & Professional Organizations”. Nearly 100 Minnesota cities are now members of
and participate in the MnWARN network.
Summary
It does not cost anything for a city to join MnWARN and being a member does not obligate a
utility to provide or receive aid, but provides a useful tool in an emergency situation.
To become a member, the City needs to pass a resolution (attached) agreeing to all of the terms
of the agreement (attached).
Finally, staff has involved the City Attorney and LMC staff in reviewing the MnWARN mutual
aid agreement attached to this report.

interest charged by the Responding Party for unpaid bills. If the Responding Party does
not have a standard rate, the interest rate shall be the rate of prime, as reported by the
Wall Street Journal, plus two percent (2%) per annum. Any undisputed amount must be
resolved using the procedures set forth in Article VII.
ARTICLE VII
DISPUTES
The Parties agree to act in good faith to undertake resolution of disputes, in an equitable and
timely manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If disputes cannot be
resolved informally by the Parties, the following procedures shall be used:
A. Mediation. If there is a failure between Parties to resolve a dispute on their own, the
Parties shall first attempt to mediate the dispute. The Parties shall agree upon a mediator,
or if they cannot agree, the Statewide Committee Chair shall select a mediator. If the
Chair of the Statewide Committee, has a conflict of interest, the duty for selecting a
mediator shall pass to the Vice-Chair.
B. Arbitration. If the dispute remains unresolved following mediation, the dispute shall be
submitted to arbitration under the Uniform Arbitration Act, Minnesota Statutes, Sections
572.08-.30. If the Parties cannot agree on one or more arbitrators, the arbitrator(s) shall
be selected using the same procedure set forth for selecting a mediator. The decision of
the majority of the arbitrators shall not be binding upon the Parties. If the arbitration
decision is not accepted, the Parties may pursue any other legal remedy to resolve the
dispute.
ARTICLE VIII
RECEIVING PARTY’S DUTY TO INDEMNIFY
For the purposes Minnesota Municipal Tort Liability Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466, the
employees and officers of the Responding Party are deemed to be employees (as defined in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 466.01, subdivision 6) of the Receiving Party.
The Receiving Party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the Responding Party, its
officers, employees, volunteers and agents from all claims, loss, damage, injury, and liability of
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4b) Page 11
Subject: Approve Participation in the MnWARN Network
every kind, nature, and description, directly or indirectly arising from the Responding Party’s
Assistance during the Period of Assistance. The scope of the Receiving Party’s duty to
indemnify includes, but is not limited to, suits arising from, or related to, negligent or wrongful
use of equipment or supplies on loan to the Receiving Party, or faulty workmanship or other
negligent acts, errors, or omissions by the Responding Party personnel. The Receiving Party
shall not be required to defend and indemnify the Responding Party for any willful or wanton
misconduct of the Responding Party or its officer, employees, volunteers or agents. Under no
circumstances, however, shall a party be required to pay on behalf of itself and other parties, any
amounts in excess of the limits of liability established in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466
applicable to any one party. The intent of this article is to impose on each Receiving Party a
limited duty to defend and indemnify a Responding Party for claims arising within the Receiving
Party’s jurisdiction subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466. The
purpose of creating this duty to defend and indemnify is to simplify the defense of claims by
eliminating conflicts among defendants and to permit liability claims against multiple
defendants from a single occurrence to be defended by a single attorney.
The Receiving Party’s duty to indemnify is subject to, and shall be applied consistent with, the
conditions set forth in Article X.
ARTICLE IX DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Each Party shall be responsible for damages to or loss of its own equipment. Each Party waives
the right to sue any other Party for any damages to or loss of its equipment, even if the damages
or losses were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of any other Party or its officers,
employees, or volunteers.
ARTICLE X
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
Each Party shall be responsible for injuries or death of its own personnel. Each Party will
maintain workers’ compensation insurance or self-insurance coverage, covering its personnel
while they are providing Assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party waives the right to
sue another Party for any workers’ compensation benefits paid to its own personnel while they
are providing Assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party waives the right to sue another
Party for any workers’ compensation benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer or their
dependents, even if the injuries were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of another
Party or its officers, employees or volunteers. ARTICLE XI INSURANCE
Parties to this Agreement shall maintain the following liability coverages: (1) commercial
general liability; and (2) automobile liability, including owned, hired, and non-owned
automobiles. Each policy shall have a limit at least equal to the maximum municipal liability
limit in Section 466.04, subd. 1. If the policy contains a general aggregate limit, the general
aggregate limit shall not be less than double the maximum municipal liability limit in Section
466.04, subd. 1.

TITLE:
Special Assessment - Water Service Line Repair at 3232 Webster Avenue South.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the repair of the water service
line at 3232 Webster Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN - P.I.D. 16-117-21-24-0043.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Anthony Lombardo, owner of the single family residence at 3232 Webster Avenue South, has
requested the City to authorize the repair of the water service line for his home and assess the cost
against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy.
Analysis:
The City requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or sewer
service lines for existing homes was adopted by the City Council in 1996. This program was put into
place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like this
are unexpectedly required.
Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed, submitted, and approved by City
staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the water service line in compliance with
current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this repair qualifies for the City’s
special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the City to authorize the water service
line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible cost of the repair has been
determined to be $3,395.00.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City has funds in place to finance the cost of this special assessment.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.

• Resolution imposing civil penalty for liquor license violation on January 7, 2012, at The
Four Firkins, 5650 W. 36th Street.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council concur with the administrative hearing decision of the City Manager to
impose penalties for liquor license violations occurring in November and December of 2011 and
January of 2012 at eight establishments in St. Louis Park? If the City Council should disagree
with the City Manager’s recommendation, a hearing would need to be scheduled for the Licensee
to appear before the City Council for further consideration.
BACKGROUND:
Liquor compliance checks were conducted by the St. Louis Park Police Department in November
and December, 2011. Under the direction of Police officers, an underage buyer attempted to
purchase alcoholic beverages at the 52 licensed establishments throughout the city. Seven of the
licensed establishments failed the compliance check. Citations were issued in each case and
forwarded to Hennepin County District Court for consideration of criminal penalties.
The City is responsible for imposing civil penalties. Minnesota Statutes 340A.415 limits civil
penalty fees of up to $2,000 for each violation. Ordinance No. 2329-07 adopted May 7, 2007
states that the presumptive civil penalties for the violations of selling alcohol to an underage
person are as follows:

One establishment, The Four Firkins, received a violation notice which involved the
consumption of alcoholic beverages on an off-sale liquor licensed premises which is prohibited
by state law and city ordinance. P er City Code Sec. 3-75, the City Manager has set an
administrative penalty of a $2,000 fine OR 2 day suspension. The owner of the establishment
has agreed to the violation and chose the $2,000 fine administrative penalty which was paid on
January 30, 2012. The Police Department, State Inspector, and staff have met and discussed the
incident with the licensee.
The 45 establishments who passed the alcohol compliance checks received a letter of
congratulations signed by the Mayor and City Manager. The sample letter is attached to this
report.
Administrative Process
Liquor license violators can choose to appear at an administrative hearing before the City
Manager or appeal directly to the City Council. Administrative Hearings were held on January
18 and January 20, 201 2. At those hearings the City Manager, City Clerk, and Lieutenant
Harcey reviewed each violation in detail and discussed preventive measures that could be taken
to ensure that future violations do not occur. Lieutenant Harcey discussed training provided by
the St. Louis Park Police Department. At the end of each hearing, a penalty fine was determined
by the City Manager. All License holders signed stipulations agreeing to the facts of their case
and accepting the fine imposed.
The establishments and fines set are as follows:

Home Remodeling Fair Temporary Signs in the Public Right-of-Way.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt the attached Resolution to approve the West Metro Home Remodeling Fair’s
request for placing temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On January 10, 2012, the City received an application from the West Metro Home Remodeling
Fair for 20 yard signs to be placed temporarily within the public right-of-way for one week prior
to the event. The council has been granting a similar request for the Lion’s Pancake Breakfast
every year since 2005.
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.”
Proposal:
The West Metro Home Remodeling Fair is a non-profit community based organization
consisting of the Cities of St. Louis Park, Minnetonka, Hopkins and Golden Valley and their
Community Education Departments. The annual Home Remodeling Fair provides advice, ideas
and resources for residents that are planning on improving and maintaining their home.
The requested signs advertise the 20th Annual Home Remodeling Fair to be held on Sunday,
February 26, 2012. The signs will be removed the day after the event.
The following signs are proposed to be placed within the right-of-way according to the location

TITLE:
Authorize Contract for 2012 Consultant Services (Reilly).
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt resolution authorizing execution of a one (1) year contract with Summit
Envirosolutions, Inc. for consultant services related to the implementation of the Reilly Tar &
Chemical Corporation (Reilly) Remedial Action Plan (RAP) during year 2012.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to approve this contract with Summit Envirosolutions, Inc. (SUMMIT)?
BACKGROUND:
History
In September, 1986, the Reilly Consent Decree became effective and the City accepted
responsibility for a number of environmental remediation tasks contained in the Reilly Remedial
Action Plan (RAP). Over the last 25 years the City has retained the services of ten consulting
engineers or firms to provide for the design and/or implementation of RAP activities. One such
firm – ENSR, eventually acquired by AECOM, has served as the cornerstone of our professional
“consortium”. This was based on the extensive historical and staffing relationship of this firm
with the Reilly project. During 2011, key “Reilly” staff left AECOM to work for SUMMIT.
Annual Reilly contract activities have included, but not been limited to:
• Groundwater sampling and analysis
• Drafting annual reports for agency review
• Aquifer studies
• Investigation of leaking wells
• Soil investigations
• Historical file searches
• General project administration
While many of the studies required by the Reilly RAP have been completed, certain tasks such
as groundwater sample retrieval and annual reporting represent ongoing activities which will
require consultant assistance in 2012 and in the future. SUMMIT has provided consultant
services for some tasks in the recent past and has been recognized by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
as an approved consultant for such activities. Staff supports switching to and using SUMMIT for
2012 consultant services due to their past service for us, their environmental reputation, and their
“key” staffing as it relates to “Reilly” activities.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4f) Page 2
Subject: Authorize Contract for 2012 Consultant Services (Reilly)
2012 Environmental Services
The following work tasks describe the work and associated costs expected during 2012:
Task 100 - 2011 Annual Monitoring Report:
Summit will draft text and prepare figures and tables to assist the City in completing the 2011
Annual Monitoring Report. The Annual Monitoring Report includes analytical results,
groundwater contour maps, a historical summary of analytical results, and a data quality review.
This report is due to the U.S. EPA and MPCA (Agencies) on March 15, 2012.
Task 150 - 2011 Annual Progress Report and GAC Plant Report:
SUMMIT will assist the City in completing these two reports for submittal to the Agencies on
March 15, 2012. Task 400 - Groundwater Monitoring and Sample Shipping:
Summit will collect all of the monitoring well and municipal well samples identified in
accordance with the 2012 Sampling Plan. The numbers of samples are shown below in the
description for Task 600 and include several samples that are collected every other year in even
numbered years. New this year, the Sampling Plan proposes to use a less expensive analysis for
the St. Peter Aquifer well samples. If approved by the Agencies, the City would save an
estimated $3,000 to $4,000 in laboratory and shipping costs. This cost savings is reflected in
Task 600 on the attached Table 1. Overnight shipping costs to the Test America Denver lab are
included in the Task 400 cost estimate.
Task 480 - Sampling Plan and QAPP:
This task involves the preparation of the Annual Sampling Plan, due October 31, 2012, and
the Quality Assurance Project Plan, due June 30, 2012. Given the level of comments
received from the Agencies last year, this task budget is estimated to be the same as the
actual costs last year.
Task 500 - Five Year Review Issues:
Issues identified in the Agencies 2011 Five Year Review included the vapor intrusion study.
Other identified issues are tracked under the other tasks in this proposal. No budget is shown for
Task 500 i n Table 1 based on t he assumption that the results of the Agencies 2011 vapor
intrusion study will not lead to more work that will involve the City. Task 600 - Laboratory Coordination:
This task includes five subtasks summarized below and shown in Table 1 which provides cost estimates for each of the five subtasks:
1. Working with Test America and Pace Labs on implementing the QAPP, coordinating
sampling events, and updating and maintaining the water quality database.
2. Providing data review and data validation at the levels described in the QAPP. The data
validation and data quality review will be documented in the Annual Monitoring Report.
3. Test America subcontract for PAH part-per-trillion analyses for an estimated 55 samples.
4. Pace subcontract for PAH part-per-billion level analyses for an estimated 60 samples.
5. Laboratory audits at both Test America and Pace.
The sample numbers above were derived from the 2012 Sampling Plan submitted during
November 2011 and may change if the Agencies require plan changes.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4f) Page 3
Subject: Authorize Contract for 2012 Consultant Services (Reilly)
Task 700 - Site Closure:
This task is intended to accomplish the long anticipated goal of ceasing pumping at the source
and gradient control wells in the Drift, Platteville, and St. Peter Aquifers. It is apparent, through
prolonged discussions with MPCA, that the Agencies will not be comfortable shutting down the
shallow pumping wells, until the degree of gradient control in the Prairie du Chien – Jordan
Aquifer is well understood and any issues with respect to PAH migration towards Edina are
resolved. To that end, this task begins with the analysis of water level data (including Edina’s
data, when available) and an explanation of the groundwater flow patterns in the Prairie du Chien
– Jordan Aquifer in a submittal to the Agencies. Depending on the results of that groundwater
flow analysis, the submittal may also contain a plan to address PAH migration from St. Louis
Park to Edina.
Once the Agencies are comfortable with the control (or plan for control) of PAH in the Prairie du
Chien – Jordan Aquifer, the next part of the Site Closure task will be to obtain the Agencies’
approval to discontinue pumping at wells W410, W420, W421, and W439. For 2012 t his
subtask is expected to include agency communications (meetings, conference calls, etc.) which
are budgeted for and shown in Table 1. In addition, depending upon the results of these agency
discussions, the following activities may also be undertaken during 2012:
1. A written submittal requesting cessation.
2. The installation of one Drift and one Platteville monitoring well.
3. Continued automated water level monitoring in the Drift, Platteville, and St. Peter
Aquifers.
Table 1 identifies these additional activities, but does not include their costs at this time. The
costs for these activities are estimated by SUMMIT at approximately $45,000 at this time. The
certainty of and the schedule for this additional work is unknown and depends upon the
successful completion of the preceding Prairie du Chien – Jordan Aquifer gradient control
subtask. If this additional work proceeds in 2012, a contract amendment addressing these costs
will be necessary
Task 810 - Program Management and Miscellaneous:
This task includes overall planning, directing, and controlling Summit’s resources to perform this
project. The task also includes miscellaneous project activities throughout the year.
Summary
As noted above, SUMMIT staff has been deeply involved in previous related activities and has
collaborated with the City in the development of proposals submitted to the Agencies for the
work tasks listed. Staff supports the use of SUMMIT for the work tasks described in this report.
As in the past, all activities are assigned through, and closely monitored by staff. Wherever
possible, staff drafts reports for submittals, makes contacts with the Agencies, and coordinates
the consultant activities, thereby reducing out of pocket expenditures.
Finally, SUMMIT proposes to conduct all work described on a time and materials basis, using
the same terms and conditions as our past “Reilly” contracts, for the costs shown in Table 1.

Subject: Authorize Contract for 2012 Consultant Services (Reilly)
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Estimated Contract Cost
Past annual costs paid for Reilly consulting services since 1993 have ranged from a low of
$64,642 to a high of $200,885 in 2011. The AECOM contract for 2011 allowed for possible
expenses of $166,000 with actual accrued expenses of $165,659. Additional SUMMIT expenses
during 2011 amounted to $35,226.
The proposal received from SUMMIT estimates the cost for 2012 work tasks at $167,000. The
variation in costs from year to year is generally associated with responding to EPA/MPCA
concerns identified in their 5 year reviews (Task 5). During 2009 and 2010, significant funds
were expended on responding to soil gas vapor concerns and past 5 year review issues raised by
the Agencies. Following is a summary of the 2012 SUMMIT work tasks described above and
their estimated costs:

TITLE:
Prism Dial-A-Ride Program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Approve extending the City’s contract with Prism (People Responding in Social
Ministry) to provide door-to-door dial-a-ride services to all residents of St. Louis Park through
December 31, 2012. Current contract expires February 29, 2012.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The City entered into a six month contract with Prism on September 1, 2011 to provide Dial-a-
Ride transportation services to St. Louis Park residents. Previous to entering into this contract,
St. Louis Park was served by several transportation programs, each operating independently and
with various limitations. The policy consideration is whether or not the City Council wishes to
continue to support Prism’s Dial-a-Ride program to enhance the level of transportation services
available for SLP residents.
BACKGROUND:
City s taff and Courtney Whited, Prism Transportation Coordinator, met with the Council in July
2011 to discuss Prism’s proposed plan to expand their door-to-door Dial-a-Ride program to St.
Louis Park. C ouncil supported the proposal and the potential benefits that a flexible
transportation program would provide and directed staff to proceed with the steps necessary to
enter into a contract with Prism to provide Dial-a-Ride services to St. Louis Park residents. T he
City agreed to provide a funding contribution up to $10,000 to cover program costs for the initial
six month period of September 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012. Following the first six
months of operation, staff would evaluate the program’s operation and its ability to serve the
transportation needs of St. Louis Park residents. U pon review of this information with the
Council, the intent was to determine whether to continue funding the program for 2012.
Based on the program to date as noted in the January 23 S tudy Session report, staff are
recommending continuing the contract through the end of 2012. We will continue to monitor the
program and this fall we will evaluate whether or not to continue the contract for 2013. More
detailed information on the Dial-a-Ride program and performance to date is provided below.
Who is Prism? Prism is a community funded social service agency that provides families in need
with food, financial assistance, transportation and other services in times of financial hardships.
Programs include a food shelf, financial assistance, school supplies, employment and budget
counseling, home maintenance, referral services and transportation. Their mission is “To walk
alongside families providing support-based programs that encourage self-sufficiency”.
For over 35 years, the volunteers and staff at Prism have helped families stabilize their
immediate crisis and then continued to work with them; counseling, educating and goal-setting to
empower them to take an active role in their own solutions.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4g) Page 2
Subject: Prism Dial-A-Ride Program
Description of Prism Dial-a-Ride Service. The Dial-a-Ride services include transportation to
any destination in the cities of St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal, New Hope,
Brooklyn Center and eastern Plymouth. Services are also provided to public transit stops
connecting riders for travel outside the service area.
Rider eligibility for the service is not restricted by age or income and is accessible for mobility
impaired riders. Riders are asked to pay a $3.00 fee per one-way trip and there is no limit on the
number of trips taken per week. This is an on demand service and riders need to call at least
three business days in advance to schedule a ride. Prism operates on a 1 hour pick-up window
although the driver will call the rider when he is 10 minutes away. The vehicles used are
handicapped accessible. The hours of operation for this transportation service are Monday
through Friday, 8AM to 4PM.
Ridership Statistics: September through December 2011. Prism began providing services to St.
Louis Park residents in September. Marketing efforts included articles in the Sun Sailor, the
Park Perspective and announcements on the City’s web site. Prism staff also did direct outreach
to the senior center, Park Nicollet, STEP, and the faith community.
Following 142 requests for rides the first month of service, the number of rides dropped to 121
the second month but has since been slowly climbing. In December, Prism provided 159 rides.
The number of unduplicated riders monthly has averaged 13 and a total of 28 individuals have
used the service since September.
Prism has indicated that the majority of the riders are seniors that are seeking a more attentive
service than what they would receive from an alternate transportation service. The door-to-door
Dial-a-Ride service is more direct than many services and provides the rider the feel of running
an errand. A ride to and from the store only takes 15 to 25 minutes each way versus 1 – 2 hours
on Metro Mobility or the bus. The service is more similar to taxi cab service. The most frequent
ride destination thus far has been to adult day care. O ther destinations included medical
appointments, work, shopping and social service appointments.
Prism has indicated that typically ridership will continue to grow each month as more residents
hear about the service. In other communities they have seen a threefold increase in riders within
a year of implementing the program. Prism has done a significant amount of outreach and will
be undertaking more direct marketing in February. Prism also has two new buses that will be
going into service at the end of this month. These buses with their updated logo will provide a
presence in the community that will also contribute to marketing the program.
Staff Recommendation. Based on the first four months of ridership, the Dial-a-ride service is
showing consistent and increasing use. Seniors, the targeted ridership population, are the primary
users of the service. Prism has stated that they anticipate ridership will continue to grow as word
of mouth spreads about the program. Extension of the contract through the end of year will
provide an opportunity to better assess the long term and ongoing use of the program. Staff is
recommending that we continue funding the service through the end of 2012. Staff will continue
to monitor the program and this fall will evaluate whether to continue the program into 2013.
Next Steps. Upon receiving Council approval, staff will prepare the necessary agreements for the
City to extend the contract with Prism to provide the dial-a-ride program through December 31,
2012. The agreement will include an option for the City to provide continued funding for the
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4g) Page 3
Subject: Prism Dial-A-Ride Program
program for 2013 contingent upon Council approval. Staff will continue to review the program’s
performance through the initial year of operation and provide an update to the Council and a
determination regarding continued funding prior to the end of the contract term.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City’s 2012 budget includes up to $20,000 in funding for a Dial-a-Ride program. PRISM
Express estimates that the full cost of a one way ride is $11.50. PRISM bills the City monthly on
a per ride basis. The City reimburses PRISM at a rate of $5.50 per one way ride. The additional
ride expense is supplemented by contributions from a $5000 grant from the Park Nicollet
Foundation and the $3 fare charged to riders. The Housing Rehab Fund is the funding resource
for the City’s contribution. The estimated amount of the City’s contribution was determined
based on community size and the anticipated number of riders annually.
For the initial 6 m onth contract, the City agreed to reimburse expenses for the Dial-a-Ride
service at the rate of $5.50 per ride up to $10,000. The City’s contribution for services provided
from September through December totaled $3,052.50.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The need for a variety of transportation modes allowing residents and visitors to easily and
inexpensively travel throughout the city and the entire metro region was identified through the
Visioning process as one of the City’s primary focus areas. Creation of a dial-a-ride program
that expands ridership boundaries is consistent with many of the ideas and goals proposed by the
Visioning Transportation Action Team including:
• Creating a superior transportation system,
• Alleviate barriers,
• Transportation system should strive to be simple, convenient, safe and inexpensive for
everyone,
• All the transportation system components and modes should be integrated and designed
to support one another,
• Embrace existing and future technology to make transportation more convenient and cost
effective,
• Our transportation system is an innovative model for other communities, and
• Coordinate with neighboring cities’ transit efforts.

Traffic Study Number 632: Authorize Installation of Parking Restrictions at 4951 Cedar Lake
Road.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Motion to rescind Resolution 94-36 and to authorize “No Parking” restrictions at 4951 Cedar
Lake Road.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to authorize the installation of the parking restrictions as noted in
this staff report?
The proposed action is consistent with City policy.
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request to extend a “No Parking” area in front of 4951 Cedar Lake Road
(see attached map). This is adjacent to the Cedar Trails West Condominiums. Currently, there is
a 60 foot area east of the driveway that is posted “No Parking.” The request is to extend this area
an additional 30 feet, making the total area 90 feet long. This extension would provide additional
space to see traffic coming from the east.
City staff has contacted the residents adjacent to the proposed “No Parking” area, and there were
no objections to this change. City staff finds this request reasonable, and is therefore
recommending Council approve the attached resolution rescinding Resolution 94-36 and
authorizing the installation of “No Parking” restrictions on the south side of Cedar Lake Road,
from the driveway to 4951 Cedar lake Road to a point 90 feet to the east.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The cost of enacting these controls is minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.

VI. Bullying Theme
• MBA Bullying Project: Lordia Fok
Commissioner Fok updated the Commission about her MBA project. The preliminary
area was interviewing students and the Police Officer liaison for their input.
“Traditional” bullying doesn’t happen as much, most of it is on-line where people can be
anonymous and parents aren’t “policing”. They decided to focus more on cyber bullying
and provide education. They want to maintain the idea of St. Louis Park being a safe
community and determine how they want to educate people about this.
Commissioner Goldstein noted a new web site called Formspring.com where people can
make personal remarks about other people. Some students find it addicting because they
want to know what other people think of them. There are a lot of fights caused by this.
Lt. Drier suggested that they still include the physical aspect.
Commissioner Fok stated they wanted to provide information to parents to educate and
provide available resources.
Ms. Olson stated she hadn’t heard back from the School Board yet and would follow up
when Commissioner Tomback returned. She spoke with a teacher who works with the
Youth Development Committee who said there isn’t widespread anti-bullying
information out there.
Commissioner Johnson noted he would also talk with a neighbor who is on the School
Board and see if they can get more information about what is being done.
Ms. Olson suggested this could be included with the posters that PAC is working on and
find resources that are available.
Other ideas were having a web site for kids to go to, letting them know it is a criminal
act, making kids aware of how to report it, a hot line, a peer group to speak with and/or
putting information in the school newspaper.
Commissioner Fok stated her group should be done with their proposal in early
December and she could present to the Commission in January.
• YDC (Youth Development Committee) Recap
Ms Fok stated she met with the YDC and about 40 ki ds were there (middle school
through high school). They got some good perspectives and it was very eye opening.
Students don’t want to report bullying and they don’t know where to go. They also
talked about Formspring and Facebook and about inadvertent bullying (i.e. comments on
photos).
Ms. Olson added that the students were very candid and talked about things that might
help.
Commissioner Johnson suggested making it a multi faceted approach, to students and
parents to get a discussion going at home and in the classroom.

3. Action Items
A. Review of Oak Hill II TIF Plan for Comprehensive Plan Conformance
Resolution No. 83
Greg Hunt, Economic Development Coordinator, presented the staff report. He explained
that Anderson-KM Builders’ proposed plans are to construct an office building at 3340
Republic Avenue. H e said Anderson-KM Builders is applying for tax increment
assistance from the Economic Development Authority to address certain extraordinary
costs associated with redeveloping the site.
Chair Johnston-Madison asked how the 9-year term is determined.
Mr. Hunt responded it is the term in which the tax increment will be generated so it will
take 9 years to allocate the $300,000 present value in tax increment.
Commissioner Person asked how the city finances the $300,000.
Mr. Hunt stated that the city provides the developer with a note in which the city pledges
the tax increment from the project back to the developer over the 9-year term of the
district. As opposed to the city issuing bonds, a pay-as-you -go note is issued which
means as the project accrues in value and accumulates tax increment, that tax increment
then gets disbursed back to the developer. The project essentially is generating financial
assistance back to the project itself, as opposed to the city taking on that obligation.

Subject: Planning Commission Minutes of January 4, 2012
Commissioner Morris moved approval of Resolution No. 83 finding that the proposed

B. Final Plat Fretham Twelfth Addition
Location: 8910 and 8920 Minnetonka Boulevard
Applicant: Lakewest Development
Case No.: 11-18-S
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He said the
final plat is virtually identical to the preliminary plat which was approved by the City
Council on November 21, 2011. The only change is the size of the easement which lies
across the back half of Lots 1 and 2. A condition of approval of the preliminary plat was
that the easement encompasses the entire slope along the back half of those lots. That
change is reflected on the final plat.
Mr. Morrison noted that all other conditions of approval of the preliminary plat have been
incorporated into the final plat approval.
Commissioner Kramer asked for details about the walk-out basement.
Mr. Morrison responded that there is about a 30 ft. grade change from the lake up to the
house. If they had to excavate for a walk-out basement it would cut into that slope, and
erosion would become a concern. It was decided it would best to keep it as a standard
basement and not interfere with the slope at all.
Commissioner Carper spoke about the location map on page 6 saying on the west side the
lot lines appear to continue into the lake as if the property owner does have ownership of
the lake bed at that area. Nothing similar to that appears on the east side of the lake.
Mr. Morrison said that the existing parcel does extend a little out into the lake so its
property lines are defined as shown on the plat. The parcel that is in the lake is actually a
separate parcel from the final plat. There was some discussion about whether there should
be a meandering property line along the shore of the lake as opposed to platting out the
small section that juts out into the lake. H e added that it is pretty normal for lake
property to be platted out into the lake. It doesn’t mean anything substantial. DNR still
has jurisdiction over it.
Commissioner Morris made a motion recommending approval of the Final Plat, subject
to conditions included by staff. Commissioner Robertson seconded the motion, and the
motion passed on a vote of 6-0.
C. Final Plat and Final Planned Unit Development
Ellipse II on Excelsior
Location: 3924 Excelsior Boulevard
Applicant: Bader Development
Case No.: 11-28-S and 11-27-PUD
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4k) Page 3
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes of January 4, 2012
Sean Walther, Senior Planner, presented the staff report. He said the final plat is
consistent with the approved preliminary plat. He noted two small changes since the
Planning Commission public hearing: one of the subdivision variances has been
eliminated; and, rather than providing no easement along Excelsior Blvd. it will provide a
4-foot easement.
Mr. Walther spoke about the landscape plan. There was a condition generated from the
Planning Commission based on neighbor comments for additional landscaping at the end
of the driveway in an effort to reduce or eliminate headlight spillage from cars that are
entering the underground garage or coming into the site. He said the applicant has
provided additional evergreen plantings at the end of the driveway.
Mr. Walther spoke about similar screening which will be provided to Ellipse on
Excelsior. These five additional evergreen plantings will be put in at a 10 ft. height which
is taller than the minimum requirement of 6 ft.
Mr. Walther reviewed the PUD modifications.
Mr. Walther stated that the 22 commercial parking spaces on the site that will serve the
Ellipse property will be protected by an easement and a parking management plan.
Commissioner Kramer asked if there is a ci ty or developer contact person who can
address resident concerns about parking, headlights and screening.
Mr. Walther responded that Robb Bader, developer, has ongoing conversations with the
neighborhood. Residents can also contact the Community Development Dept. for follow-
up on issues. He said the neighborhood is working with the Public Works Dept. on
permit parking.
Commissioner Carper asked how the proposed landscaping meets the requirements.
Mr. Walther explained that the plan also includes alternative landscaping measures. He
said those are not trees or shrubs but they do relate to the landscape and the designed
outdoor recreation area (DORA). He said that includes the patio space provided off of
the main lounge on the ground level as well as the rooftop patio area. Those count as
alternative landscaping measures.
Meg McMonigal, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, commented that for dense, multi-
story buildings the ordinance is almost impossible to meet since the sq. footage of each
floor is used, not just site coverage.
Commissioner Morris said it appears that a significant amount of landscaping is taking
place in the DORA which makes it unusable. He asked if that eliminates the DORA
function.
Mr. Walther said as the DORA requirement has been applied it includes things like patio
spaces, sidewalk connections through and around the site, trail connections, and
landscaped areas that provide the amenity to those pedestrian connections. DORA and
landscaping are meant to work together and not be mutually exclusive.
City Council Meeting of February 6, 2012 (Item No. 4k) Page 4
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes of January 4, 2012
Commissioner Morris said he thought DORA was an outdoor green space for picnics,
games, movement, etc.
Mr. Walther spoke about opportunities on the west side of the building and rooftop space
designed for both passive and active recreation.
Commissioner Carper asked if the intention of landscaping is to make a building more
amenable to the public or to provide green space.
Mr. Walther said landscaping could serve either purpose and there is flexibility in the
code as to how that is provided. Typically there is a balanced approach.
Commissioner Morris said he may want to restudy DORA. He said he is in favor of
approving the project.
Ms. McMonigal said a DORA discussion could be a study session item.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval of the Final Plat and Final
Planned Unit Development, subject to conditions. Commissioner Carper seconded the
motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0.
4. Other Business
A. Election of Chair and Vice-Chair
Commissioner Robertson made a motion to elect Robert Kramer as Chair and Lynne
Carper as Vice-Chair. Commissioner Morris seconded the motion, and the motion

Case No.: 11-31-S, 11-32-PUD, 11-34-VAR
Adam Fulton, Planner, presented the staff report.
Commissioner Morris said in looking at the configuration of the existing parcel it appears
the variance portion of it is not an area created by the property owner. It’s a remnant
created by MnDOT acquisition.
Mr. Fulton responded that is correct. W hen MnDOT constructed I-394 they also
constructed the Wayzata Blvd. frontage road and made some modifications. The parcel
is shaped the way it is directly due to that taking.
Commissioner Carper asked about screening provided for the adjacent homes.
Mr. Fulton stated that setback requirement for a building like this is relates to the height.
This building height is 37 ½ ft. The reduction is 12 ½ ft., bringing the first floor of the
building to within 25 ft. from the south property line. From the house to the assisted
living building is 67 ft. The applicant has proposed the installation of trees and shrubs in
that area to improve the screening between the properties. H e added that there is also
some vegetation on the adjacent homeowner’s property as well.

Subject: Planning Commission Minutes of January 18, 2012
Commissioner Carper asked about the grade change between the adjacent property and
the assisted living building.
Mr. Fulton responded that immediately south of the two parcels is a single family home
on a double lot which is perhaps a foot higher than the 1324 Kentucky lot.
Commissioner Carper asked if there would be adequate rooftop screening on the
proposed building.
Mr. Fulton said the mechanical equipment is not going to be located right on the south
part of the roof, but toward the middle.
Commissioner Kramer asked about access for emergency vehicles.
Mr. Fulton said the Fire Marshall and Building Official have looked at the access for
emergency vehicles in detail. He explained that an ambulance will be able to pull into
the cul-de-sac and back up to the building, and into the underground parking garage.
Viren Gori, applicant, provided a brief history of the properties.
Commissioner Carper remarked that the proposed building is very nice looking. He
spoke about the front of the building which faces I-394. He asked what kind of sound
proofing will be provided.
Mr. Gori said enhanced sound installation and double-paned windows will be provided.
He remarked that an assisted living facility works well at this site because most of the
residents keep their windows shut which will mitigate some of the sound. The building
temperature is highly controlled. Studies are showing that the new trend with assisted
living and memory care residents is that they like to be where the action is. They like to
see traffic. They like to see pedestrians and activity.
Commissioner Morris spoke about memory care units being on t he first floor, and
commented that generally those units require a greater amount of security and access
control. He asked what security would be provided.
Mr. Gori said the patio area to the south is completely enclosed. It will have a guard rail
and a locked gate. The elevator and lobby will have controlled access.
Chair Kramer opened the public hearing.
Vince Forystek, owner of two properties located across Louisiana at 7218/7224 14th St.
W., asked what the fence securing the patio area would look like. He said he hoped it
would not be a chain link fence.
Mr. Gori responded that it would be a non-institutional looking wrought-iron fence.
Mr. Vorystek stated it would be good if ambulances could only access the north cul-de-
sac.

Subject: Planning Commission Minutes of January 18, 2012
Mr. Fulton said the only access to the property is from the north cul-de-sac. There is no
access off of Kentucky Ave. S.
Chair Kramer closed the public hearing as no one else was present wishing to speak.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison stated she likes the project and feels it is an excellent
use for that area and for St. Louis Park.
Commissioner Robertson said he was glad to see a project move ahead on the property.
He spoke about the difficult configuration and this is a use that works very well.
Commissioner Morris said he is glad to see an environment where memory care residents
aren’t so isolated and can mingle with assisted living residents. He likes the plan layout
and the concept.
Commissioner Carper stated he likes the project, including the façade of the building.
Commissioner Person made a motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary and
Final Plat, Preliminary and Final PUD, and Variance, subject to conditions included by
staff. Commissioner Morris seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of 6-0.

TITLE:
Resolution Approving 2012-2013 Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Local #218 Police
Sergeants Labor Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution approving a Labor Agreement between the City and the Local #218
Police Sergeants, establishing terms and conditions of employment for two years, from 1/1/12 –
12/31/13.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council wish to approve the Labor Agreement between the City and the Union?
BACKGROUND:
Staff is pleased to bring to Council the details of this contract agreement between the City and
Police Sergeants Union for 2012-2013. All five of our bargaining groups are open for
negotiations this year, and we are seeking Council approval of the first three agreements
(Sergeants, Dispatch and Fire) at this time.
The City and the Union have come to agreement on the following changes to the contract:
• Duration of 2 years (1/1/12 – 12/31/13).
• 2012 Wages: Increase of 2% (consistent with non-union and other settled groups).
• 2013 Wages: Increase of 2% (consistent with other settled groups).
• 2012 Health Insurance: S ame as 2011, no increase in employer contribution. Employer
contribution for health insurance consistent with non-union for 2012 at $815 per month.
If electing the high deductible health plan, the employer contribution is set at $606.66 for
premiums and $208.34 for VEBA contribution.
• 2013 Health Insurance: Employer contribution for health insurance consistent with other
groups.
• 2012 and 2013 W ellness: C ontinued participation in any City provided wellness
incentive programs. Last year Council approved a $25/month per person contribution for
employees who met the criteria and participated in the wellness program.
o COMMENT: We are working with staff and our Benefits Committee to improve on
overall health awareness and education of staff to work toward a healthier workforce.
This is a long term initiative that we will want to continue and modify to encourage
wellness. Our goal is to work toward lower or slower rising premium rates because
people in our health plan who are active and take care of themselves and their family
members lead to an overall long term healthier pool to insure.

Subject: Resolution Approving 2012-2013 LELS Local #218 Police Sergeants Labor Agreement
• 2012 Deferred Compensation (effective upon approval of contract): City contribution of
$10 per pay period with a minimum employee contribution of $50 per pay period to
eligible deferred compensation programs.
o COMMENT: T he Union had negotiated this benefit for 2011 and it ended in
December, 2011. This agreement re-starts the employer contribution effective the
first of the month following final contract approval. We continue to encourage
employees to participate in programs that will help in saving for their future.
• 2013 Long Term Disability: N ew language has been added in which the City will
provide long term disability insurance coverage for employees.
o COMMENT: This is currently a voluntary benefit that employees must purchase.
Most cities in our market provide this as an employer provided benefit. Currently the
City provides this benefit to our exempt employees, and we continue to work on
equalization of benefit programs across the employee groups as budget allows.
• 2012: New language was added as a housekeeping item regarding probation for newly
hired or promoted employees to match current practice.
Staff is pleased with this agreement and recommends approval. The proposed contract is on file
with the City Clerk. More detail is available upon request.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Funds for this settlement are included in the 2012 budget and will be programmed into 2013
planning for budgets.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Not directly applicable.
