TITLE:
Voter ID Constitutional Amendment
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No formal action requested at this time.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to take a formal position on the Voter ID Constitutional Amendment
that will be on the ballot November 6, 2012?
BACKGROUND:
The Minnesota State Legislature passed a bill proposing an amendment to the Minnesota
Constitution to include the following question on the election ballot in November 2012:
“Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo
identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible voters,
effective July 1, 2013?”
Council has asked that information be presented to determine if they wished to pursue action on
this matter.
The proposed amendment concerns Minnesota’s current voting processes and, if passed, would
profoundly alter Minnesota’s election system. The proposed amendment introduces provisional
balloting, creates new requirements for absentee and overseas voters, and requires that ALL
voters be subject to substantially equivalent eligible and identity verification before a ballot is
cast or counted. If the amendment is adopted by the voters, the following language would be
added to Article VII, Section 1 of the Minnesota Constitution:
“(b) All voters voting in person must present valid government-issued photographic
identification before receiving a ballot. The state must issue photographic identification at no
charge to an eligible voter who does not have a form of identification meeting the requirements
of this section. A voter unable to present government-issued photographic identification must be
permitted to submit a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot must only be counted if the voter
certifies the provisional ballot in the manner provided by law. (c) All voters, including those not
voting in person, must be subject to substantially equivalent identity and eligibility verification
prior to a ballot being cast or counted.”
If the proposed amendment is adopted, the amendment is effective July 1, 2013 for all voting at
elections scheduled to be conducted November 5, 2013, and thereafter.
How does a constitutional amendment pass?
A majority of all voters’ casting ballots in the election must vote for the amendment in order for
it to pass. Therefore, not voting for or against the amendment is considered a “no” vote.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 2) Page 2
Subject: Voter ID Constitutional Amendment
What is a Provisional Ballot?
Provisional balloting is used on Election Day when there are questions in regards to a given
voter's eligibility for reasons such as:
• The voter is unable to present required photo ID
• The voter's name does not appear on the precinct voter roster.
• The voter's registration contained inaccurate or outdated information such as the wrong
address or a misspelled name.
• The voter's ballot has already been recorded
Whether a provisional ballot gets counted is contingent upon the verification of that voter's
eligibility, typically done by the voter coming to city hall showing their required photo ID after
the election within 3-14 days.
What are the implications to St. Louis Park if the amendment is adopted?
• Would affect St. Louis Park next year for the November 2013 municipal/school election
• If a 2013 Primary is required, there will be different voting procedures in the same year.
• Would require additional administration before, during, and after election day
• Would require provisional balloting in the polling place and clerk’s office after election day
• Election Day registration would be changed or eliminated
• Could affect many of our approx. 6,000 voters who typically register to vote at the polls
for a Presidential Election who would need to vote by provisional ballot, and make a
second trip after the election to present acceptable ID at city hall.
• Approx. 4,500 absentee voters who typically vote at a Presidential Election could be
affected by voter ID requirements.
• Approx. 300 absentee voters from our 5 Healthcare Facilities who are vouched for by
facility employees as allowed by current law could be affected by voter ID requirements.
• Final Election Results will be delayed 3-14 days.

Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 2) Page 3
Subject: Voter ID Constitutional Amendment
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
If the Voter ID amendment is approved, it would cost the city an estimate of $11,000 to cover the
following costs related to provisional balloting:
ü Additional election judges at precincts on election day
ü Additional judge training
ü Additional election judges for days following the election to verify photo IDs of
provisional ballot voters and counting of ballots
ü 16 secure provisional Special Ballot Box containers for each precincts
ü 16 locks or other security for locked ballot box containers
ü Special Provisional Ballot Printing and envelopes
ü Notices to voters whose ballot are not counted due to failure to prove identity

Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 2)
Subject: Voter ID Constitutional Amendment Page 5
Why the proposed Constitutional Amendment would end same‐day registration:
Currently voters are allowed to register and to cast a ballot at the polling place that is counted with the
other ballots. However, the proposed amendment requires all voters to be subject to “substantially
equivalent eligibility verification”. This would mean that same day registrants could not have a ballot
counted until their eligibility had been verified in essentially the same way as pre‐registered voters.
Under our current system, when a voter pre‐registers to vote their registration information undergoes
the following checks in order to verify their eligibility to vote:
Check 1. Does this person exist / is the basic information they provided accurate?
(Check against Division of Vehicle Services database and/or Social Security Administration database)
Check 2. Is the individual serving a felony sentence?
(Match against DOC database, updates from Courts database)
Check 3. Is the individual a citizen?
(Match against data provided by DVS)
Check 4. Does the voter reside at the address provided?
(non‐forwardable postcard sent)
Check 5. Has the court revoked the rights of a person under guardianship?
(Updates from the Courts database)
Check 6. Has the voter moved?
(Records updated using USPS data)
Check 7. Has the voter died?
(Updates from Department of Health, match with Social Security death information)
There is simply no way to conduct all of these checks while the voter is standing there. Polling places
would have to have access to all the data listed above AND mail out a postcard in order for anything
close to these same checks to occur. Clearly, this would be impossible. Voters could register at the
polls on Election Day, but not cast a vote that would be counted that day. Their vote would have to
be provisional and could not be counted before these checks were conducted. With over 500,000 same
day registrants in presidential election years, the results of every election wouldn’t be known until
these votes were counted.

Subject: Voter ID Constitutional Amendment Page 6
Questions on how the proposed constitutional amendment would impact absentee voting by mail, by those
voting overseas, and by those voting in mail‐ballot precincts:
The proposed amendment states that, “All voters, including those not voting in person, must be subject to
substantially equivalent identity and eligibility verification prior to a ballot being cast or counted.”
This means that absentee and mail ballot voters will have to have their identity and eligibility verified in a way
equal to that of voters who vote in‐person. But how is this possible? In Minnesota over 210,000 ballots in a
presidential year are cast by absentee, mail‐in or overseas voters. This includes the 195,000 Minnesotans who
voted absentee by mail, the approximately 11,500 military and overseas voters and the 45,000 registered voters
in mail ballot precincts around the state.
Identity Verification
In‐person voters will have their identity verified by presenting a valid government‐issued photo ID to the
election judge who can look at the voter and then at the picture on the ID to ensure that they are the same
person. How could someone who is in Arizona or Iraq have their identity verified in a substantially equivalent
way, when they cannot physical present their ID in person and clearly are not there for the election judge to
see?
Some have suggested that voters could provide a photocopy of their ID card; however, without seeing the voter,
how do we know that it is really theirs and that they didn’t make a photocopy of someone else’s ID? This does
not seem to be a secure solution.
Others have suggested that voters be required to provide an identification number that election officials can
verify. However, there are several problems with this idea. First, not all government issued photo‐identification
lists a number. Second, without seeing the voter, how would an election official know that the voter provided
their own name and ID number? Also, the state does not have the ability to verify all types of ID numbers that
could be provided, such as numbers found on U.S. Passports. Finally, since no voter is exempted from this
provision, this would mean that all absentee and mail ballot voters would be required to have a government
issued photo‐identification to vote, and that is not currently the case. Some seniors who have given up driving,
particularly women who were never employed outside of their homes, do not have any of these documents and
may have a difficult and costly time obtaining them.
Eligibility Verification
As for having their eligibility verified, this will also be challenging for some absentee and mail ballot voters.
Same day registrants demonstrate their eligibility to vote in the precinct by providing current proof of residence
– usually either a Minnesota driver’s license with their current address or a current utility bill. But many military
voters in particular will not have this type of documentation available to them. Often their state driver’s licenses
or ID cards have an old address on them or have expired, and they won’t have utility bills with them if they’re
stationed away from home. Will they be prohibited from voting?
Requiring absentee voters to provide proper proof of residence will also be challenging for some seniors. Some
will still have a Minnesota driver’s license or state ID card, but with their last address, if they have not updated it
since they moved into a nursing facility. Will they have the resources and wherewithal to get to the DMV, which
may be more than 80 miles away? If not, and if they live in a facility in which they do not receive utility bills,
how will they provide proof of residence? Will they be prohibited from voting?

TITLE:
Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None at this time. At the March 12th Study Session Council requested further information on
several water quality and storm water related issues including more information on the wetlands
in the community and how they are managed. This report provides basic storm water and
wetland management information which will be supplemented with a staff presentation at the
Study Session.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council desire any additional information or discussion regarding this topic?
BACKGROUND:
History
At the March 12, 2012 Study Session staff provided Council follow up information regarding the
prioritization and estimated costs of water quality improvement projects for ponds and wetlands.
These projects ranged from minor maintenance to possible major rehabilitation / basin
expansions aimed at improving water quality (impaired waters); specifically, the basis for the
recommended improvements is the removal of suspended solids (sediment) and phosphorous
from waters exiting the city. At the end of that discussion, Council requested staff to:
1. provide information on wetlands, the function they perform, and how they are managed
in the city
2. classify ponds in the city (public vs. private) and provide information regarding the
process and costs associated with treating ponds
3. provide information regarding possible improvements to Bass Lake
This report provides information related to request number one above.
Plan Development - Surface Waters and Wetlands
In 1997, pursuant to the requirements outlined in Minnesota Statutes 103B, Minnesota Rules
8410, and the rules of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and Bassett Creek Watershed
Management Organization, the City of St. Louis Park began developing a Comprehensive Water
Resources Management Plan (CWRMP). The Plan was subsequently completed and submitted
for agency review on March 16, 1999. As a part of the review process, the agencies required the
city to develop a Wetland Management Plan. During late 2000, the agencies approved the city’s
first Wetland Management Plan. During 2001, the City Council discussed the proposed
CWRMP which included the Wetland Management Plan. On August 20, 2001, the Council
officially adopted the CWRMP which was eventually incorporated into the city’s
Comprehensive Plan. The CWRMP and the Wetland Management Plan established our first
steps in protecting the community’s 38 wetland and marsh areas.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 3) Page 2
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory
In late 2007 the city was required to update the 2001 CWRMP. This was done during late 2008
and early 2009. The updated plan did not change the overall policy direction from the earlier
2001 plan. Rather it added a number of goals and policies required and advised by the many
agencies that currently govern surface water management. The plan, currently called the Surface
Water Management Plan (SWMP) is intended to improve overall water quality and meet all
mandated surface water regulations. Highlights of the plan update included:
• Preparation of the MS4 General Storm Water Permit Application and Storm Water
Pollution Prevention Program. This requirement is a part of the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations which cover a very broad spectrum
of storm water related issues
• Preparation of a Loading Assessment and Nondegradation Report which addresses
requirements relating to the limiting of specific pollutant loadings to water bodies (such
as phosphorus)
• Preparation of an implementation program to address the means of conforming to and
reaching the water quality requirements spelled out in the SWMP
• Preparation of future updates to the MS4 permit and SWMP to address the requirements
of future Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analyses
In summary, the City’s existing SWMP (the CWRMP approved in 2001) dealt primarily with
flooding and drainage issues. The revised SWMP, officially adopted by Council on October 19,
2009, maintains the importance of these earlier issues, but also addresses the many water quality
related issues and regulations that all cities are now required to include in their plans.
Lake and Wetland Information
The following wetland information and attachments relevant to St. Louis Park can be found in
our current SWMP:
• Exhibit 1 - Wetland Management Classification Map
• Exhibit 2 - National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map
• Exhibit 3 - St. Louis Park Wetland Management Plan Summary
• Exhibit 4 - Description of Wetland Types 1-8
• Exhibit 5 - Surface Water Management Plan (Executive Summary)
What are wetlands, and how are they different from lakes? A wetland has mostly wet soil, is
saturated with water either above or just below the surface, and is covered with plants that have
adapted to wet conditions. Wetlands are classified into eight different types, based on their soil
type, hydrology, and vegetation (see Exhibit 4 for descriptions). Some wetlands have open water
and look similar to lakes, but based on their soil type, hydrology, and vegetation are classified as
wetlands.
A lake is not defined by size or depth. A lake may be defined as an enclosed basin filled or
partly filled with water. A lake may have an inlet and/or an outlet stream, or it may be
completely enclosed (landlocked). Generally, a lake is an area of open, relatively deep water that
is large enough to produce a wave-swept shore. Many of the water bodies we call lakes may
actually be classified more accurately as wetlands or ponds.
How are wetlands regulated? There are three levels of wetland regulation: federal, state, and
local. It is not uncommon for a wetland to be regulated by more than one of these programs.
Sometimes different portions of the same wetland will be regulated by different programs. There
are three major programs for wetland regulation. These are the United States Army Corps of
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 3) Page 3
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory
Engineers Section 404 Permit Program, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public
Waters Work Permit Program, and the Wetland Conservation Act, which is overseen by the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, and implemented by local governmental units (in
our case the Wetland Conservation Act is implemented by the watershed districts). There are
many other smaller programs that may also regulate wetlands at each level.

Not applicable.

St. Louis Park Wetland Management Plan Summary
The City adopted a Wetland Management Plan in 2001 to provide a means for the City to manage its
wetlands. The Wetland Management Plan inventoried the wetlands within the city and assigned them a
management class. The two classes are Manage I and Manage II. Manage I wetlands are of higher
quality, special purpose, and are located primarily on public land. These wetlands include Westwood
Lake, Bass Lake, and Meadowbrook Lake. The remainder of the wetlands are classified as Manage II.
Manage I wetlands will be managed as follows:
• A 20 foot minimum buffer around the perimeter of wetlands will be implemented, where feasible,
by eliminating mowing activities. Wider buffer widths will be implemented in accordance with
Watershed District standards if wetlands are proposed to be impacted by filling or draining.
• Perimeter stormwater treatment systems will be allowed where upstream treatment cannot be
provided. Grit chamber systems will be constructed upon redevelopment if a perimeter system
cannot be constructed. Maintenance to remove accumulated sediment is anticipated to occur on
an “as-needed” basis.
Manage II wetlands will be managed as follows:
• Continue to utilize wetlands for stormwater management as wetlands are used in their present
condition.
• A 10 foot buffer around the perimeter of wetlands will be encouraged through public education
efforts. Wider buffer widths will be implemented in accordance with Watershed District
standards if wetlands are proposed to be impacted by filling or draining.

Executive Summary
Located in Hennepin County just west of Minneapolis, the 10.7 square mile city of St. Louis Park is
a fully developed suburban community. The population of St. Louis Park is approximately 44,400
residents, making it the 20th largest city in Minnesota. St. Louis Park contains a variety of physical
and water resources including several wetlands and small lakes, wooded areas, parks, and recreational
lands, as well as the Minnehaha Creek corridor.
Two watershed management organizations (WMOs) cover St. Louis Park, each with its own
governing body: the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) and the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD).
In 2001, the city developed the City of St. Louis Park Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan.
That document established a stormwater management plan for the city, integrating flood control
with wetland and water quality needs.
This Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) is a local water management plan prepared in
accordance with Minnesota Statute 103B.235 and Minnesota Rules 8410 and is intended to replace
the 2001 plan. The purpose of this SWMP includes those purposes given in Minnesota Statute
103B.201 for metropolitan water management programs. According to statute, the purposes of
these water management programs are to:
• Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems;
• Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems;
• Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater
quality;
• Establish more uniform local policies and official controls for surface and groundwater
management;
• Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems;
• Promote groundwater recharge;
• Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and
• Secure the other benefits associated with proper management of surface and ground water.
This plan meets the policies and requirements of each of the watershed management organizations
within the city, and other local, state, and federal agencies.
The St. Louis Park SWMP sets the course for the city’s management of the water resources and
stormwater within the city. The SWMP sets goals and policies for the city and its resources,
provides data and other background information, assesses city-wide and specific issues, and lists
implementation tasks to achieve the goals. The SWMP also provides information regarding the
funding of the implementation program. The SWMP is organized into six major chapters as
follows:

The city’s NPDES MS4 Permit requirements have led to the following specific requirements for the
City of St. Louis Park:
1. Preparation of the MS4 General Storm Water Permit Application and Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Program (SWPPP).
2. Preparation of a Loading Assessment and Nondegradation Report.
3. Preparation of this Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP).
4. Preparation of future updates to the MS4 permit and SWMP to address the requirements of
future TMDL analyses.
As well as meeting the requirements of its NPDES MS4 Permit, the City of St. Louis Park actively
and progressively manages stormwater to protect life, property, waterbodies within the city, and
receiving waters outside the city. Chapter 2 of the Plan presents the city’s goals and policies toward
meeting these goals. The following paragraphs summarize the key goals from Chapter 2.
Surface Water Quality Goals:
1. Manage surface water resources within the city of St. Louis Park, with input from the
public, so that the beneficial uses of wetlands, lakes, and streams remain available to the
community. Such uses may include aesthetic appreciation, wildlife observation,
swimming, boating, or others.
2. Maintain or improve the quality of water in lakes, wetlands, streams, or rivers within or
immediately downstream of the city of St. Louis Park.
3. Manage surface water on a regional basis to protect designated water bodies and meet
regional water quality standards in concert with the watershed organizations and the
Metropolitan Council.
4. Reduce illicit discharge to the city’s storm sewers and receiving waters.
5. Work to meet the phosphorous load reductions required by the city’s NPDES permit,
the BCWMC, and the MCWD for the city of St. Louis Park.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 3)
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory Page 11
Policies in this section address topics such as local, state, and federal water regulations, non-
degradation and TMDL issues, and watershed management organization (WMO) requirements. The
city’s policies require the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and include
continuing public education to preserve surface water resources within the city.
Stream Goals:
1. Maintain or enhance the natural beauty, public access, and wildlife habitat value of
streams running through the city of St. Louis Park.
2. Implement stream restoration measures wherever feasible to maintain health, safety, and
ecological integrity.
3. Minimize the volume of stormwater runoff entering streams.
Under these goals, policies include evaluating opportunities to increase recreation opportunities,
reducing runoff from impervious surfaces, and cooperating with the watershed management
organizations to implement stream restoration projects.
Wetlands Goal:
1. Protect and restore wetlands to improve or maintain their functions and values in
accordance with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act and the city’s Wetland
Management Plan.
Policies associated with the wetland goal reflect the continuing role of the MCWD and BCWMC as
the local government units (LGUs) responsible for administering the Wetland Conservation Act.
The policies of the city conform to and support the rules and regulations of the WMOs.
Surface Water Quantity and Flooding Goals:
1. Manage the rate and volume of runoff entering rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands
within the city of St. Louis Park.
2. Manage floodplain areas to minimize flooding and protect the functions of the
floodplain.
3. Protect the public from flooding through measures that ensure public safety and prevent
inundation of occupied structures.
4. Minimize flooding potential in a cost-effective manner.
Under these goals, city policies require compliance with the stormwater standards and criteria of the
WMOs and this SWMP. Policies also address issues such as stormwater system maintenance,
floodplain management, and minimum building elevations.
Groundwater Goals:
1. Protect groundwater quality and quantity to preserve it for sustainable and beneficial
purposes.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 3)
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory Page 12
2. Manage surface water runoff in order to meet requirements for groundwater protection
from Hennepin County, the MPCA, or the MDH.
The city’s policies regarding groundwater include the continued implementation of the city’s
Wellhead Protection Plan, the promotion of infiltration BMPs, and cooperation with other agencies
to promote the protection and monitoring of groundwater resources.
Erosion and Sedimentation Goal:
1. Prevent sediment from entering the city’s surface water resources and to minimize and
control the erosion and sedimentation in drainage ways within the city.
Under this goal, the SWMP includes policies regarding the submission of erosion and sediment
control plans, compliance with WMO policies, inspection, and proper construction site debris
storage and waste disposal.
Recreation, Habitat, and Shoreland Management Goals:
1. Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat within the city of St. Louis Park.
2. Maintain and enhance recreational facilities within the city of St. Louis Park.
3. Preserve or enhance the ecological function of shoreland areas within the city of St.
Louis Park.
Policies in this section include encouraging the maintenance of natural open spaces and riparian
buffers, limiting excavation near water bodies, and cooperating with other agencies to promote the
use and protection of watershed resources.
Education and Public Involvement Goals:
1. Involve and educate the residents of the city in water resource-related issues.
2. Offer programs, educational opportunities, and information that facilitate an
understanding of water resource issues in the city of St. Louis Park and downstream.
With respect to these goals, the SWMP includes policies calling for the city to implement the
education and public involvement-related BMPs identified in the city’s SWPPP for its NPDES
Phase II MS4 permit.
Funding Goal:
1. Provide sufficient funding to implement measures and policies contained in this plan.
Adequate funding is essential for the city to implement its SWMP policies. Under this goal, the
city’s policies call for the continued use of the city’s stormwater utility fee as well as the exploration
of additional funding methods and opportunities to fund the implementation of the SWMP.
Chapter 3 provides technical information describing the surface and subsurface conditions of the
city. Most of Chapter 3 is devoted to presenting a city-wide inventory, including land use, climate
and precipitation, topography, soils, geology, groundwater, DNR public waters, wetlands, surface
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 3)
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Wetlands Inventory Page 13
water resource monitoring information, floodplain information, unique features and scenic areas,
pollutant sources, and major basins and overall drainage patterns. Chapter 3 also includes a number
of maps, such as city-wide maps of land use, DNR public waters, wetlands, drainage basins, and
maps showing the drainage patterns for each major drainage basin. Chapter 3 also includes a
number of tables containing information such as precipitation data and water quality information.
Chapter 4 presents a summary of the general and specific water resource-related issues, problems,
and challenges the City of St. Louis Park is facing. These issues have been summarized in the
following table and include water quality, stormwater runoff rate and volume, wetland, stream, and
erosion and sedimentation issues.

Storm Water Follow Up – Pond Classifications and Treatments
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None at this time. At the March 12th Study Session Council requested further information on
several water quality and storm water related issues. As a part of this the Council asked that staff
propose pond classifications for Council consideration along with the process and estimated
costs associated with performing aquatic plant treatments in “public” ponds and lakes.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Staff desires Council direction regarding:
1. Does Council agree with the pond classifications developed by staff? If not, what
changes should be made?
2. Does Council wish to change the existing Council policy and pursue aquatic pond
treatments at city cost?
3. Which additional ponds should the city pursue for aquatic pond treatments?
4. Does Council desire any additional information or discussion regarding this topic?
BACKGROUND:
History
At the June 13, 2011 Study Session staff provided information and Council discussed aquatic
plant management and pond treatments in St. Louis Park.
At the March 12, 2012 Study Session staff provided Council follow up information regarding the
prioritization and estimated costs of water quality improvement projects for ponds and wetlands.
These projects ranged from minor maintenance to possible major rehabilitation / basin
expansions aimed at improving water quality (impaired waters); specifically, the basis for the
recommended improvements is the removal of suspended solids (sediment) and phosphorous
from waters exiting the city. At the end of that discussion, Council requested staff to:
1. provide information on wetlands, the function they perform, and how they are managed
in the city
2. classify ponds in the city (public vs. private) and provide information regarding the
process and costs associated with treating ponds
3. provide information regarding possible improvements to Bass Lake
This report provides information related to request number two above.
Current Pond Treatment Practice
The City decided in 1980 not to treat ponds for water quality purposes for a variety of reasons -
see the attachment “Exhibit 1 - SLP Storm Pond Treatment Policy” which provides background
information along with the adopted city council policy. This background information and
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 4) Page 2
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Pond Classifications and Treatments
adopted policy is still accurate and relevant and is consistent with practices in most cities today.
Chemical water quality treatment techniques are still in use along with some newer techniques.
Surface water treatments (aquatic plant management) in St. Louis Park that we are currently
aware of are:
Utah Pond – 5 aerators installed and the pond is treated chemically by contractor; all
items are paid for by private landowners around the pond (2.29 acres); cost of annual
operation and treatment is unknown; water bodies less than 2.5 acres in size do not need a
DNR permit to chemically treat.
Wolfe Lake – chemically treated by contractor for milfoil and submerged vegetation to
promote viable fish population; paid for by the City of St. Louis Park, Parks and
Recreation, at a total cost of $1,600.00/year (3 acre lake); a DNR Permit is required to
perform this treatment.
Cattail Pond (located in Wolfe Park) – chemically treated for duckweed and algae, and
separately treated for cattail growth; both treatments are performed by a contractor at a
total cost of $1,500.00/year (less than 3 acres); a DNR permit is required to perform these
treatments.
In St. Louis Park, as in other Minnesota city’s, the DNR controls aquatic treatments in water
bodies >2.5 acres via their permitting process. As stated above most, if not all, cities do not
provide/pay for aquatic treatments of ponds or lakes. Generally speaking, this is predominantly
done by adjacent land owners or lake associations which apply and arrange for chemical
treatment of the water bodies.
Aquatic Plant Management
Mn/DNR Regulations - under Minnesota law, aquatic plants growing in public waters are the
property of the state. Because of their value to the lake ecosystem, they may not be destroyed or
transplanted unless authorized by the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources as
stipulated in the Aquatic Plant Management Rules. A "public water" is generally any body of water 2.5
acres or larger within an incorporated city limit, or 10 acres or larger in rural areas.
Activities NOT allowed:
• Excavating lake bottoms for aquatic plant control
• Use of hydraulic jets
• Destroying or preventing the growth of aquatic plants by using lake bottom barriers.
• Removing aquatic vegetation within posted fish-spawning areas.
• Removing aquatic plants from an undeveloped shoreline.
• Removing aquatic plants where they do not interfere with swimming, boating, or
other recreation.
Control methods which MUST HAVE a permit
• Destruction of any emergent vegetation (for example, cattails and bulrushes).
• Cutting or pulling by hand, or by mechanical means, submerged vegetation in an area
larger than 2,500 square feet.
• Applying herbicides or algaecides.
• Moving or removing a bog of any size that is free-floating or lodged in any area other
than its place of origin in public waters.
• Transplanting aquatic plants into public waters.
• Use of automated plant control devices (such as the Crary WeedRoller).
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 4) Page 3
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Pond Classifications and Treatments
• Physical removal of floating-leaf vegetation from an area larger than a channel 15
feet wide extending to open water.
When a permit is NOT needed - lakeshore-property owners that want to create or maintain a
swimming or boat-docking area, may cut or pull submerged vegetation such as Elodea, without a
DNR permit under certain conditions:
• First, the area to be cleared must be no larger than 2,500 square feet.
• Second, the cleared area must not extend more than 50 feet along the shoreline or one-
half the length of the property shoreline, whichever is less.
A boat channel up to 15 feet wide, and as long as necessary to reach open water, may also be
cleared, through submerged vegetation. A boat channel is in addition to the 2,500 square feet
allowed. Any other destruction of floating-leaf vegetation requires a permit.
Applying for a permit - DNR does not grant permits automatically. Site inspections are required
for first time permits. Applications may be denied or modified for several reasons:
• because the plant beds in question are too valuable for fish or wildlife, or
• because the plants are part of protected natural areas.
To ensure that plant control is done correctly and with proper care for the environment, the
following steps are required:
• If herbicides are permitted, the product label instructions are to be followed
• DNR is to be notified before control operations begin
• Signs are to be posted identifying the area to be treated with herbicides (these signs are
included with the permit or are furnished by the DNR to the commercial applicator)
Problem aquatic plants - The DNR does not encourage the destruction of aquatic vegetation.
However, the DNR recognizes that aquatic plants may interfere with a homeowner's right to
reasonable access to open water and recreation. To balance the needs of conservation and those
of recreation, the DNR has developed an Aquatic Plant Management Program. This program,
operated under Minnesota Rules, requires permits for controlling, planting, or destroying aquatic
plants and other organisms in public waters and public waters wetlands. Because plants provide
many benefits to the water environment, requests to destroy vegetation are limited to areas where
plants seriously interfere with recreational use.
Two common ways to control aquatic plants -
1. Mechanical control - means to cut or pull by hand or with equipment such as rakes,
cutting blades, hand-operated, or motorized trimmers. Large-scale mechanical control
often uses floating, motorized harvesting machines that cut the plants and remove them
from the water. The plants are taken to shore for proper disposal. All plants that are
mechanically controlled must be removed from the lake.
2. Herbicide control - means to use plant-killing chemicals that are applied in liquid,
granular, or pellet form. The aquatic plants die (sometimes only the stems and leaves) and
decompose in the lake. Areas treated with aquatic herbicide are posted with signs to
inform lake users of any water use restrictions resulting from the application of the
pesticide. Aquatic plant control is temporary because aquatic plants grow back from root
crowns, seeds, and other plant parts.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 4) Page 4
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Pond Classifications and Treatments
Aquatic plant stewardship - Stewardship: moving from short-term control to long-term
prevention Measures such as cutting, pulling, or using herbicides can control aquatic plants from
season to season. But in the long run, the best way to combat excessive growth of aquatic plants
is prevention--reducing the flow of nutrients, sediments, and exotic species moving into a lake or
stream. Listed below are a few practical steps that are used to maintain good water quality and
prevent excessive plant growth in lakes and ponds. It takes time for these steps to improve water
quality and reduce plant growth, but they are essential for sustaining and enhancing desirable
plant communities in Minnesota lakes.
• Use discretion when fertilizing property (whether it is directly on the lakeshore or
elsewhere within the lake's watershed). Have soil tested to determine fertilizer needs, if
any. Water a lawn after fertilizing, but not enough to run off. Clean up spilled fertilizer.
• Keep septic systems working properly.
• Remove garden and grass clippings from street gutters, sidewalks and driveways.
Compost clippings or use them as garden mulch.
• Maintain a vegetative "buffer zone" -- a strip of unmanaged grasses and woody
vegetation along the shoreline. This vegetation helps prevent soil erosion and intercepts
some nutrients that could enter the lake.
• Use low-or no-phosphorous soaps and detergents.
• Minimize impervious surfaces (roads, roofs, pavement, etc.) near lakes; they can cause
nutrient-rich run-off.
• Clean up after pets. Flush wastes down toilet or otherwise properly dispose of away from
the water or shoreline.
• Keep livestock away from streams and lakes. They add unwanted nutrients and create
bank erosion.
• Prevent the spread of undesirable exotic plants such as purple loosestrife, curlyleaf
pondweed, and Eurasian watermilfoil. Clean boats, motors, trailers, and other equipment
of all aquatic vegetation immediately after leaving the water. Dispose of plants on higher
ground to prevent reintroduction into the water.
Possible Pond Classifications
In an attempt to classify surface waters as either public or private, staff utilized the following
definitions:
Public Lake / Pond = over 50% of adjacent land is owned by the city
Private Lake / Pond = over 50% of adjacent land is privately owned
Lake = over 2.5 acres in size (standing water) and considered a “public water”
Pond = less than 2.5 acres in size (standing water); not considered a “public water”
(MN DNR Controls and regulates “public waters” for treatments; DNR permits are required)
The following table provides pond classifications and size information

Treatment Costs of Public Ponds and Lakes
There are two potential types of treatments:
Off-shore = treating water from a boat; treating larger portions of a water body. Need one
permit for entire or portion of lake treated; must stay 150’ from any opposing property.
Must obtain signed release from all property owners.
On-shore = treating water from shoreline or close to shore line; must obtain signatures
from all lake property owners and a separate permit for each property ($35.00/permit). The
area of treatment can only range from 35’ to 150’ maximum shoreline.
**All permits are given for recreation obstructions only – no aesthetic treatment permits given
by M n/DNR. If aquatic vegetation is not interfering with access, swimming, or other water
recreation activities, the DNR recommends letting the plants grow. The city currently prescribes
to off-shore chemical treatments for Wolfe Lake (fishing) and Cattail Pond only (aesthetic for
large, regional park; we do not contract for any other surface water treatments.
Contractors certified to treat water bodies have estimated the treatment/management cost of an
average surface water body for an entire growing season, regardless of on-shore or off-shore
application, at approximately $1,000.00/acre of surface water. The City of St. Louis Park would
have to apply for treatment for each water body, based upon recreation obstructions/restrictions
due to aquatic plants.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 4) Page 6
Subject: Storm Water Follow Up – Pond Classifications and Treatments
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Aquatic plant management (pond treatment) costs associated with “public” water bodies
identified above (140.1 acres), estimated at $1,000 per acre, could amount to about $140,000 per
year. The Utility Fund currently collects annual estimated revenues of just over $2,000,000.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship. We will increase
environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city business.

Pedestrian and Bicycle System Implementation Plan and Policy Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff would like to discuss the proposed priorities and capital plan for building sidewalks and
trails with Council on May 29th and return on June 11th to obtain Council direction on the policy
areas identified below.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Based on Council input staff has revised the proposed Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan (Exhibits A -
E) and has developed a ten year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Council consideration
(Exhibits F - C2). At the June 11 Study Session Staff desires Council direction on the proposed
CIP regarding the following:
1. Which projects in the proposed CIP, if any, would the Council like accelerated?
2. Which projects in the proposed CIP, if any, would the Council like delayed?
3. Which projects, if any, would the Council like removed from the proposed CIP? These
could be left in the long term proposed plan to be constructed at some unknown future
time.
4. Is the ten year term for the CIP appropriate? Should that be shortened or lengthened?
BACKGROUND:
History
At the May 14 th Study Session Council provided input on plan elements and requested staff to
prepare a prioritized Capital Improvement Program for their consideration.
Follow Up Actions
Based on Council direction obtained on May 14th, staff has:
1. Revised the proposed Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan - see Exhibits A - E
2. Developed a ten year prioritized Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which allows for
construction of all plan elements by 2023 - see Exhibits F - C2
Prioritization criteria used in developing the CIP is based on the following:
• Focus on key destinations: segments that serve multiple community gathering centers
in the community (schools, parks, transit stops, commercial nodes) rate higher.
• Focus on Transportation: routes that provide north-south connections through the
community, into adjacent communities, and to key transit stops rate higher.
• Focus on Bicycling and Walking: the ultimate goal is to provide a quarter-mile “city”
grid of sidewalks and half-mile grid of bike routes. Improvements that fill gaps in the
city pedestrian and bicycle networks, improve safety at certain intersections, and provide
crossings (bridges or tunnels) of major railroad and highway barriers rate higher.
Based on the above criteria, plan elements were prioritized by staff during the planning process
(see Exhibit F - Plan Priorities) from which the proposed CIP was developed (see Exhibit G - 10
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 5) Page 2
Subject: Pedestrian and Bicycle System Implementation Plan and Policy Review
Year Capital Improvement Program). Please note - there is a column on the CIP project sheet
indicating project priorities identified above - 1 being the highest priority and 3 being the lowest
priority.
Map exhibits were created so the CIP can also be viewed in visual form. Exhibits A1 and C1
show sidewalk and bikeway projects grouped by years so project priority over the ten year period
is more easily seen. In a like manner, Exhibits A2, B1, and C2 show sidewalk, trail, and
bikeway projects by year to provide a more detailed view of project prioritization.
Summary and Next Steps
Staff understands the proposed CIP has many elements, is difficult to assimilate in a short time,
and there will be many factors the Council will want to consider in reviewing the project
prioritizations provided by staff. Staff suggests Council discuss the proposed CIP on at the
Study Session on May 29th and then provide input at the Study Session of June 11th. This will
allow Council time to reflect on the proposed CIP.
After CIP project priority (construction years) has been established, staff will prepare a financial
plan and a public communications / involvement strategy for Council consideration. Final policy
issues will also be discussed in conjunction with these topics.
The following tentative process and schedule has been developed to aid in implementing this
plan:
Council discusses the proposed CIP project priority (const yrs) May 29
Council provides direction on the proposed CIP June 11
Council reviews financial and public involvement plans June 25
Council considers remaining policy questions June 25
Staff conducts public involvement / input process July - October
Council adopts proposed sidewalk, trail, and bikeway systems along
with, final policies, and the CIP
November - December
Construction May 2013 – Oct 2025
Based on the process associated with the adoption of the last sidewalk / trail plan and CIP, it is
possible this schedule could be extended for months to a year.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
None at this time.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Staff felt it would be beneficial for Council to have a well-defined purpose and goals as an aid in

TITLE:
April 2012 Monthly Financial Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action required at this time.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None at this time.
BACKGROUND:
This report is designed to provide summary information each month of the overall level of
revenues and expenditures in both the General Fund and the Park and Recreation Fund. These
funds should be a primary concern in analyzing the City’s financial health because they represent
the discretionary use of tax levy dollars.
Actual expenditures should generally run about 33% of the annual budget in April. Currently,
the General Fund has expenditures totaling 30.5% of the adopted budget and the Park and
Recreation Fund expenditures are at 31.5%. Revenues tend to be harder to gauge in this same
way due to the timing of when they are received, examples of which include property taxes and
State aid payments (Police & Fire, DOT/Highway, PERA Aid, etc.).
Expenditures in most of the General Fund and Park and Recreation Departments are running at
or below budget through April. A few variance comments for revenues and expenditures are
noted below along with a general discussion of reasons for the variance.
General Fund
Revenues:
• At the end of April, license and permit revenues are well ahead of budget at 68% in the
General Fund. As in prior years, this is in part due to the fact that most of the 2012 liquor
and business license payments have already been received. Nearly 99% of the license
revenues for the year have been recorded, with most of the payments coming in late 2011
and deferred to 2012 to accurately reflect the year that the license revenue is earned.
Permit revenues are also higher than budget through April at 53%.
Expenditures:
• The Community Outreach budget is at 58% because the full 2012 payment for Mediation
Services was made early in the year. This expenditure is a substantial portion of the
Community Outreach General Fund budget.
Parks and Recreation
Expenditures:
• The Organized Recreation Division is at 41.5% of budget because the full annual
Community Education contribution in the amount of $187,400 was paid to the School
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 7) Page 2
Subject: April 2012 Monthly Financial Report
District in March. This is consistent with prior years and is only a temporary variance.
Payment for the 4th of July fireworks display in the amount of $15,500 was also made in
March.
• Expenditures in the Vehicle Maintenance Division are slightly exceeding budget at
34.8%. The small variance is mainly due to parts and motor fuel expense.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
None at this time.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.

TITLE:
Miscellaneous Minor Code Amendments for Animals, Nuisances and Licensing
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action at this time. Staff is providing this report to inform Council of City Code amendments
staff will be bringing to the Council in the near future.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None at this time. Please let staff know of any comments or questions that you might have.
BACKGROUND:
Regular review of the City Code is helpful to keep regulations current and adapt to changing
conditions. This group of proposed amendments is intended to provide increased clarity and
effectiveness in application of the Code.
DISCUSSION:
An overview of the proposed changes to each Chapter is as follows:
Chapter 4 – Animals
Section 4-42 to 4-45 Regarding Nondomesticated Animals
Issue – Current language does not clearly prohibit bee keeping on residential lots.
Discussion – Staff has occasionally received inquiries from residents interested in placing bee
hives in their yards. Additionally, a resident has complained with concerns over being stung due
to the high number of bees traveling from a neighbors backyard bee hive. Relatively narrow lots
throughout the community make hive placement impractical on residential lots. Without
sufficient room for the bees to disperse when leaving or returning to the hive, interaction with
neighbors on adjacent properties is significantly increased. The proposed amendment will
clarify that beekeeping is not allowed in the City but will still allow bee hives to be kept at
facilities like the Westwood Nature Center.
Proposal – To improve clarity that beekeeping is not allowed in the City, the City Attorney is
recommending removal of the Definitions Section in its entirety, renumber the section, clarify
prohibited animals; and add specific language regarding bee hives.
Note on Section 4-44 Deer and Raccoon - This section is proposed to be revised by the Parks and
Recreation Department regarding wildlife feeding and scheduled for first reading on June 4.
Proposed revisions will be combined in renumbered format in a common ordinance.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 8) Page 2
Subject: Miscellaneous Minor Code Amendments for Animals, Nuisances and Licensing
Chapter 8 – Businesses and Licenses
Section 8-116 Gas Piping and Fuel Burning Equipment
Issue – Excessive licensing regulations for competency cards not reflective of business practice.
Discussion – Competency cards are a requirement for some trade persons working under a City
licensed Mechanical Contractor. The work associated with the installation of fuel burning
appliances such as furnaces and boilers requires the installers to possess specific knowledge and
skills. However, this work generally presents less of a hazard to the general public than the
installation of the gas piping to the fuel burning equipment. Therefore, the installation of these
types of fuel burning equipment can safely be performed under the direction and supervision of a
licensed Mechanical Contractor who holds a Warm Air or Steam and Hot Water Certificate of
Competency for their company. Due to the hazards associated with natural gas, the installation
of gas piping would continue to require that installers hold a Gas Piping Certificate of
Competency Card.
Proposal – Eliminate the competency card requirement for fuel burning equipment installers.
Section 8-372 License Required
Issue – A criminal background check is not currently required for the applicant of a tobacco
license.
Discussion – Similar to Massage Therapy and Liquor licensing, a background check performed
by the Police Department would be helpful as a requirement of Tobacco sales licensing to
determine if the applicant has been convicted of any felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor.
At the time of application, the applicant will need to provide a readable copy of a government
issued picture identification with current address; and a background check if they have ever been
convicted of any felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor; and authorize the city to complete
a background check.
Proposal – Add the requirement of a criminal background check as part of the annual license
application process for tobacco sales.
Section 8-374 Prohibited Sales
Issue – Smoking of tobacco products inside tobacco sales shops is currently permitted.
Discussion – The Freedom to Breath provisions amended into the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air
Act, in effect since 2007, allows the smoking of tobacco for sampling purposes within tobacco
product establishments. Establishments must meet a few criteria which include receiving
primary revenue from the sale of tobacco or related products and not be part of a liquor or food
establishment. This law allows smoking lounges or rooms to be created unless a city adopts
more specific requirements for licensed tobacco establishments. Staff is proposing that the code
be amended to not allow smoking lounges or rooms within licensed tobacco shops. The city
currently does not have any licensed tobacco shops that would be affected by this change.
Proposal – The City Attorney is recommending the title of the section be changed from
Prohibited Sales to Regulations Adopted and adding item (b) to prohibit tobacco sampling.
Study Session Meeting of May 29, 2012 (Item No. 8) Page 3
Subject: Miscellaneous Minor Code Amendments for Animals, Nuisances and Licensing
Chapter 12 - Nuisance Abatement and Assessment
Section 12-35
Issue – The city no longer utilizes a health official position which is currently referred to in the
Code for Nuisance determination and the abatement process.
Discussion – During a department re-organization in 2009, the health official position was
eliminated and the Director of Inspections assumed the duties of the health official. To correctly
identify the city official in charge of nuisance abatement and assessment, the term “health
official” is proposed to be removed and replaced with Director of Inspections throughout the
section.
Proposal – Replace the health official title with Director of Inspections throughout the section to
clarify and ensure code specified procedure is followed.
NEXT STEPS:
Unless Council provides alternate direction, staff will return to Council for first reading of the
proposed amendments on June 4th.
Proposed Parks and Recreation Department changes in the Wildlife Feeding Ordinance will be
combined and coordinated to work with the proposed chapter 4 format changes in this report.
If approved during second reading, the effective date for amendments will be proposed to be 15
days following publication.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
No significant expenditure of city resources or increase in fee for services is expected as a result
of the proposed ordinance amendments.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged community.

TITLE:
Environment/Sustainability Task Force Process Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action requested. This report is an update on the application process for the task force.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council need any other information prior to reviewing the applications for selection of persons
to serve on the Environment/Sustainability Task force scheduled for the June 11 Study Session?
BACKGROUND:
On March 26, 2012 the City Council discussed public involvement in the City’s environmental
policies and initiatives. The discussion centered on “what is missing” in the environmental area?
This issue was a topic of discussion going back to 2007 and 2008 as part of the Strategic
Direction the City Council adopted related to the environment. Specifically the City Council
identified the need to investigate “the need and purpose of an energy and environmental
commission” Below is information regarding past discussions by Council on this topic:
• February 25, 2008 – Study Session – Discussed Strategic Direction related to the
Environment and the need for an energy/environmental commission.
• September 13, 2010 – Study Session - Environmental Activities Update.
• November 8, 2010 – Study Session - Process for Community Input on Environment.
• March 26, 2012 – Study Session – Environmental Input Discussion.
At the March 26th study session staff presented an outline for a time limited task force to define
the approach for public input into the City’s environmental/sustainability policies and initiatives.
Council approved the outline and moved ahead with accepting applications. The application
process has been open and extended through June 4. At the date of writing this report, we’ve
received 19 applications. Attached is the information that was included in the application materials.
Next steps: At the June 11th meeting Council will receive the applications to review and select 8
to 15 members for the task force. Once members are selected, they will be notified and an
orientation meeting will be set along with the guidelines for the limited duration task force.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
None at this time.

should use to allow for public input into the City’s environmental/sustainability policies,
programs and initiatives. The task force would be made up of 8 – 15 residents to volunteer their
time and represent various geographic areas of the City. Applicants for the task force will be
asked to provide information on their education, experience, activities, interests and work in the
area of the environment/sustainability. Applicants will also be asked to describe 3 – 5 main
concerns/ideas/activities related to the environment/sustainability that are of most interest to
them.
Council will review applications and appoint residents to this task force on June 11th, 2012 (or
other date as determined). Meetings are expected to be scheduled starting in June. The meeting
schedule will be determined by staff and task force members. This task force will serve in a
voluntary capacity with no compensation and for a limited duration. Recommendations from
the task force are to be developed no later than December 31, 2012. Once the recommendations
are completed, the work of the task force will end.
Applications will be open starting April 30 through June 4th, 2012 and can be completed on line
at www.stlouispark.org.

for public input into the City’s environmental/sustainability policies, programs and initiatives.
The task force would meet for a limited duration and make recommendation(s) to the City
Council no later than December 31, 2012.
Task force would meet and undertake the following activities:
1. Review background and current information on environmental and sustainability
activities, programs, staffing and overall scope of work in all departments of the city
and regulatory agencies.
2. Brainstorm ideas on possibilities and look into “what’s missing” regarding public input
into sustainability/environmental policies, programs and initiatives of the City.
3. Review other opportunities that could offer resident interaction about environmental
issues (including and not limited to: on line forums, create a “friends of the
environment”, add to existing City commission or create a new commission, connect
residents through on-line methods, etc.).
4. Sift through ideas and begin to prioritize the ideas, develop options/recommendations.
5. Formalize recommendation to the City Council.

Project Update: Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Hopkins Sewer Interceptor
Rehabilitation - Cedar Lake Area Improvements
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action required at this time. The purpose of this report is to summarize for the Council the
proposed sanitary sewer force main replacement work scheduled by the Metropolitan Council.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council have any concerns or questions for staff?
BACKGROUND:
History
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES), operator of the metro-area wastewater
collection and treatment system, is starting construction work in 2013 on the Cedar Lake Area
Sewer Improvements. This work will replace a portion of a regional sewer through the Triangle
and Fern Hill neighborhoods in St. Louis Park, as well as portions within Minneapolis (see
Exhibit 1 - Cedar Lakes Area Sewer Improvements Map).
This is part of a larger project to rehabilitate or replace a regional sanitary sewer that provides
service to Hopkins and portions of St. Louis Park and Minneapolis. This sewer runs the entire
length of St. Louis Park between Hopkins and Minneapolis (see Exhibit 2 - MCES overview
map). These improvements are required to maintain a reliable system for conveying wastewater
from each of the three communities. The existing force main was constructed in 1971 using a
concrete and steel pipe that has been found to be susceptible to corrosion. It is proposed to
replace this pipe with two new 24-inch diameter force mains that will offer system redundancy
and allow long-term inspection and maintenance without disruption of service. It is MCES’s
intention to eventually replace the existing main in its entirety across the City over the new few
years as opportunities arise. In 2010 for example, as part of the City’s construction of the
Wooddale Avenue and Highway 7 interchange project, 3,000 feet of the existing force main was
inspected and replaced as corrosion was evident. Similar work is also proposed in conjunction
with the Highway 7 - Louisiana Avenue interchange project.
The Cedar Lake Area Sewer Improvements segment encompasses an area between Lynn Avenue
in St. Louis Park and Dean Parkway in Minneapolis. The portion of force main to be constructed
in St. Louis Park follows the County Road 25 South Frontage Road from Lynn Avenue to France
Avenue South where it crosses Lake Street and proceeds north along France Avenue to Sunset
Boulevard before proceeding east into Minneapolis. The construction work involves full
replacement of a 30-inch diameter force main with two 24-inch force main as previously described.
There is expected to be substantial impacts to the County Road 25 South Frontage Road starting
at Lynn Avenue. The frontage road is expected to be completely rebuilt by MCES in conjunction
with the sewer work. All other disturbed roadways and green space areas will be fully restored
as part of this project. MCES has been working with the City, Hennepin County, and other
entities to prepare restoration plans that include tree planting and boulevard landscaping.

Schedule
Construction along County Road 25 and France Avenue is tentatively scheduled to occur during
the summer and fall of 2013. Traffic detours, construction noise, and vehicle congestion are
anticipated during this time. Access for vehicles will be maintained to the extent possible
throughout the project for properties fronting the construction work. A full closure of France
Avenue north of Lake Street is anticipated to occur over a period of two to three weeks.
Additional information regarding specific closures, timing, detours, etc. will be provided as
details are worked out with Met Council staff over the next few months.
Summary and Next Steps
MCES is planning up to three informational open houses over the next few months for area
businesses and residents. These engagements will allow the businesses and residents to provide
feedback on property access issues and roadway detours.
The first scheduled open house is for the commercial businesses along County Road 25 between
Beltline Avenue and France Avenue. The meeting is scheduled for June 5, 2012 at the St. Louis
Park City Hall Community Room from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
The remaining open houses are planned for the Triangle and Fern Hill neighborhoods and will
occur during June and July.
Staff is continuing to work with MCES to ensure the planned improvements are designed with
minimal impact to the City and our property owners.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
There are no costs to the City of St. Louis Park for these improvements.

SWLRT Business Advisory Committee (BAC) Appointments
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action necessary at this time. This report is being provided to update the City Council on
appointments to a proposed Business Advisory Committee representing St. Louis Park’s LRT
station areas. It is anticipated the Council will be asked to make these appointments the June 4,
2012 City Council meeting.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Who should the City Council appoint to the SW LRT Business Advisory Committee to represent
St. Louis Park businesses and commercial property owners in the station areas?
BACKGROUND:
The Metropolitan Council SWLRT project and Hennepin County Community Works are setting
up a Business Advisory Committee (BAC) and the City of St. Louis Park has been invited to
appoint a member to the BAC for each station area. It is requested that members be “people who
own or manage a business that will be directly impacted by the design and construction of the
proposed light rail line or, who own or manage property that leases to a business that will be
impacted by the design and construction of the proposed light rail line.”
The BAC will serve both the Metropolitan Council project office that is responsible for
engineering of the light rail line, and the Hennepin County Community Works project, which is
integrating land use planning and economic development along the line. The Committee will
meet monthly over the next few years as the project progresses and is built.
The following roles and responsibilities have been set out for the BAC members:
1. Attending a majority of monthly meetings
2. Being a voice to advance the broader interests of the local business community or
interest they represent.
3. Serving as a conduit of information to the broader business community.
4. Participating in discussions by sharing ideas and expertise.
5. Identifying issues affecting communities impacted by both the LRT project development
and Community Works initiatives and assisting in developing strategies for minimizing
those impacts.
6. Providing feedback to the Southwest LRT Communication Steering Committee on the
structure and effectiveness of the communication and public involvement efforts.
7. Listening to and respecting the viewpoints of others.

Update on 2012 Parktacular Block Party at West End
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action required. This report is being provided to give the City Council an update on the
Parktacular Block Party that will be held this year at the West End.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None. Please let staff know of any questions you might have.
BACKGROUND:
The Parktacular 2012 Community Celebration will be held June 14 - June 17. The Parktacular
Block Party will be held at West End on Friday, June 15 with gates opening at 6 p.m. and closing
at 11 p.m. The outdoor concert entertainment will be provided by Boogie Wonderland who will
perform from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Free parking is available in the West End Ramps.
The Shops at West End and Discover St Louis Park have become this year’s sponsor and donated
the funds to Parktacular to sponsor the Block Party which includes entertainment, food, and
beverages. Rojo will be selling adult beverages to anyone 21 years of age and older in an area to
be fenced off as shown in the attached map. The hours in which alcohol will be available is from
6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Rojo will be providing/approving staff/vendors to check ID’s and wrist bands
to ensure no alcohol will be sold to minors. Police officers will also be on duty at the event. Gate
fee tickets and Parktacular buttons will be sold at the event gate and many volunteers will be
monitoring crowd control along with a “dump bucket” at each entrance/exit. After the 11 p.m.
closing time of the Block Party, the area will be cleaned.
It should be noted that in checking with the St. Louis Park Police Department there have been no
incidences reported from the previous block parties.
Rojo currently holds a State Caterers License which allows them to serve alcohol off premises at
the Parktacular Block Party. The required liquor liability insurance certificates will be submitted
to the Parktacular Board and the city liaison for the event. Since this event is being held on
private property (West End Blvd is a private street) no approval is required from the City Council.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The annual Parktacular Event and Block Party supports the strategic direction of being a
connected and engaged community.
