8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update
Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report and stated that state law requires all metro area
governmental entities to update their Comprehensive Plans at least once every ten years.
The plans are reviewed by the Metropolitan Council in order to coordinate and plan on a
region-wide basis. She explained the process undertaken by the City in updating the
Comprehensive Plan, including several neighborhood and property owner meetings. She
then presented an overview of the proposed changes to the updated plan, including the
creation of a new “Business Park” (BP) category that designates areas for light industrial
and/or office uses. She stated that this designation would be used to better distinguish
between heavy industrial and industrial that is lighter in nature and may have a significant
office component. She explained other changes to the Plan in the areas of transportation,
housing, and surface water management, and noted that the overall plan stresses the
importance of being a livable community.
Meeting of January 4, 2010 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Mr. Fulton presented an overview of the proposed Business Park category and stated the
Planning Commission reviewed land use designations in the City, particularly with respect to
industrial land use and future LRT stations at Beltline, Wooddale, and Louisiana Avenues.
He presented the proposed land use map changes and stated that three public meetings were
held with property owners in July and October and there was general support for the
changes.
Ms. McMonigal stated that staff has performed some high level planning with the County
with respect to the LRT stations and more planning will be needed for these areas in order to
take full advantage of the opportunities that rail will bring to the City. She indicated that as
part of the comprehensive neighborhood planning process, seven meetings were held with
groups of neighborhoods. Staff is now doing a more in-depth study and will update the plan
by neighborhood, bringing this back to the Council for adoption at a later date. She stated
the Planning Commission has recommended adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
with three changes to the proposed property designations on the land use map. She
explained the Planning Commission recommends retaining the existing land use
designations for three properties: the Weis Builders property along Excelsior Boulevard,
formerly approved for the Meadowbrook Lofts, the ApplianceSmart property along Excelsior
Boulevard, and the Minikahda Mini Storage property located just south of the intersection
of France Avenue and the SW LRT Regional Trail. She noted that the Met Council
completed its review of the Comprehensive Plan on December 9th which allows the City to
place the Plan into effect.
It was moved by Councilmember Basill, seconded by Councilmember Omodt, to adopt
Resolution No. 09-175 adopting 2030 Comprehensive Plan for the City of St. Louis Park
as recommended by the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Paprocki encouraged continued efforts by staff with respect to north-south
transportation options in the City.
Councilmember Sanger concurred and added that in addition to north-south vehicle
connections, it will be important to give consideration to bicycles and pedestrians.
Councilmember Basill stated that relative to the proposed LRT stations, it will also be
important to make sure that parking is controlled in the City’s single family neighborhoods
so that homes are not devalued in any way.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s appreciation to staff and residents who have
provided valuable input into the Comprehensive Plan process.
Mr. Harmening acknowledged Ms. McMonigal and Mr. Fulton for their efforts, as well as
all City staff involved in the Comprehensive Plan.
Meeting of January 4, 2010 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Wendy Skinner, 3336 Huntington Avenue South, appeared before the City Council and
expressed her appreciation, on behalf of all the residents, for the Planning Commission’s
thoughtful consideration of their concerns. She asked that consideration be given to placing
a dead end at France Avenue and Randall Avenue, thus creating access through Park Glen
Road and separating it from the single family neighborhood.
Councilmember Finkelstein encouraged the City to consider not only France Avenue, but
also West 36th and Park Glen Road.
A letter from Elisabeth White, 4418 Randall Avenue, was presented to the City Council for
inclusion into the record.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. Property Tax Levies
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks and appreciation to staff for their efforts
in creating a balanced budget.
Mr. Harmening presented the staff report and stated the 2010 budget closes a $1.8 million
gap and is approximately $800,000 less than the 2009 budget. He indicated the proposed
property tax levy for 2010 reflects an increase of 2.98%, or $650,000; $500,000 of this
amount will go toward operations and the remaining $150,000 will be used for capital needs.
He noted the HRA levy is approximately the same as in 2009 and this money will be used
for infrastructure improvements in redeveloping areas, most notably for Highway
7/Wooddale Avenue and Highway 7/Louisiana Avenue. He indicated the five year capital
plan is very aggressive and involves infrastructure improvements, including Highway
7/Woodale, Highway 7/Louisiana, Highway 100, two new fire stations and improvements to
the Municipal Service Center. He expressed his thanks to all City staff involved in preparing
the budget, particularly Ms. Gohman, Mr. Swanson, and Ms. Monson.
It was moved by Councilmember Paprocki, seconded by Councilmember Carver, to adopt
Resolution No. 09-176 adopting the budget for 2010 and approving the 2009 tax levy
collectible in 2010.
The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Councilmember Paprocki, seconded by Councilmember Carver, to adopt
Resolution No. 09-177 approving the 2009 HRA levy collectible in 2010.
The motion passed 7-0.
It was moved by Councilmember Paprocki, seconded by Councilmember Carver, to adopt
Resolution No. 09-178 adopting the 2010-2014 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Meeting of January 4, 2010 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. 2010-2011 Police Sergeant (Local #218) Labor Agreement
Ms. Gohman presented the staff report and stated that a two year agreement was reached
with the Police Sergeants which provides a 1% wage increase effective January 1, 2010, a
2.25% wage increase effective December 31, 2010, and a 0% wage increase for 2011. She
added that the City has agreed there will be no layoffs or furloughs with this group in 2010
and 2011. In addition, the Sergeant group requested to swap Veteran’s day for Christmas
Eve, which is cost neutral to the City. She added the City has also agreed that effective
1/1/11 through 12/31/11, the City will contribute $10 per pay period to each eligible
employee’s deferred compensation account if the employee contributes a minimum of $50
per pay period.
Councilmember Sanger commended Ms. Gohman and the Police Sergeants for their efforts
in reaching agreement during these difficult economic times.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Carver, to adopt
Resolution No. 09-179 approving the Labor Agreement between the City of St. Louis Park
and Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc., Local #218 Police Sergeants, January 1, 2010 –
December 31, 2011.
The motion passed 7-0.
8d. 2010 Employee Compensation and Benefits
Ms. Gohman presented the staff report and stated staff is recommending a 1% general
increase effective January 1, 2010 for non-union employees and department heads will
receive a 0% wage adjustment in 2010. She added that staff recommends that the City
Manager’s salary remain unchanged for 2010, consistent with other department heads (0%
wage adjustment). She stated that the volunteer firefighter benefit program includes a life
insurance benefit and some disability coverage. This program is very affordable and staff
recommends continued participation in the program. She added that staff is recommending
a 1% increase in the paid-on-call firefighter performance program; this program is in lieu of
PERA. She stated with respect to benefits, staff was able to negotiate a renewal increase of
16% for 2010 with Blue Cross/Blue Shield; the City’s health insurance rates continue to be
lower than other comparable cities and the plan design will remain unchanged.
It was moved by Councilmember Finkelstein, seconded by Councilmember Paprocki, to
adopt Resolution No. 09-180 confirming compensation for non-union employees; setting
City Manager salary; continuing participation in the volunteer firefighter benefit program;
continuing performance program pay for paid-on-call firefighters; and establishing 2010
employer benefits contribution.
Meeting of January 4, 2010 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
The motion passed 7-0.
8e. Summary and Acceptance of City Manager Evaluation
Mayor Jacobs stated the City Council undertakes an annual evaluation of the City Manager.
He indicated the City is fortunate to have Mr. Harmening and expressed the City Council’s
thanks and appreciation to Mr. Harmening for his exceptional leadership. He explained the
City Council retained J. Forrest to assist with the City Manager evaluation and the Council
met in closed executive session on December 14, 2009, to review the results. He stated the
evaluation consisted of written comments and numerical ratings, and Mr. Harmening
received an overall rating of 3.4 out of 4. He stated Mr. Harmening’s fiscal and business
management, organizational management and leadership, and his relationship with the City
Council is all exemplary; Mr. Harmening is a highly valued person on staff as well as in the
community and he does a fantastic job of building effective partnerships and collaborations.

2010 Official Newspaper.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution Designating the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor as the Official Newspaper

POLICY CONSIDERATION:
MS 331A.02 and Charter Section 3.07 require that a legal newspaper of general circulation be
designated for publication of the City’s official proceedings and notices and such other matters and
measures as are required by law and City Charter. Does Council wish to continue designation of the

BACKGROUND:
Sun Newspapers has become the primary source of community news in the suburbs and has
provided additional newspaper copies at City Hall, Rec Center and library; provided information on
how to subscribe and access via the web; and has provided a discount to the City for advertisements.
BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION:
1. The paper is delivered to most of the residences in the City and easily accessible via the Internet,
thereby providing city-wide coverage of legal notices and other city government issues to
residents.
2. The paper has served well as the official newspaper for many years.
3. The paper has expressed a desire to continue to provide this service.
4. New residents receive information regarding distribution of the Sun-Sailor Newspaper in their
new resident packet.
5. All legal notices are posted on Sun Sailor’s website at no additional charge.
6. Two notarized affidavits on each publication are provided at no additional charge.

TITLE:
Special Assessment - Water Service Line Repair at 2940 Flag Avenue South.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the repair of the water service
line at 2940 Flag Avenue South, St. Louis Park, Minnesota - P.I.D. 18-117-21-22-0008.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
None - The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
Dennis Dummer, owner of the single family residence at 2940 Flag Avenue South has requested the City
to authorize the repair of the water service line for his/her 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 $4,160.00.

7a. Adoption of 2010 Budget and HRA Levy
EDA Resolution No. 09-17
Mr. Swanson presented the staff report and stated that the Economic Development
Authority must annually adopt a budget in the time frame allowed by state statute and the
City Council then ratifies the tax levy prior to certification to the County. He explained the
levy was originally implemented by the City in 2001 due to legislative changes which
significantly reduced future tax increment revenues, and the HRA levy’s operating budget is
primarily used for infrastructure costs pursuant to the Capital Improvement Plan. He added
that given the significant infrastructure needs facing the City, particularly with respect to
Highway 7 and Wooddale and Highway 7 and Louisiana, staff recommends the HRA levy
continue at the maximum allowed by law for the 2010 budget year, in the amount of
$1,043,341.
It was moved by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Sanger, to adopt EDA
Resolution No. 09-17 authorizing the HRA levy for 2010 and approval of the EDA budget
for fiscal year 2010.
The motion passed 7-0.
7b. Fund Closings
Mr. Swanson presented the staff report and explained there are five funds which are no
longer necessary and should be closed. He stated two pre-79 TIF districts, Oak Park Village
and Excelsior Boulevard, were decertified on August 1, 2009, and the 2002A Bonds were
fully defeased with tax increment from these districts. The 2001A Bonds were refunded with
the issue of the 2009A Bonds, and final payment was made in 2009 on the 2005A Bonds.
It was moved by Commissioner Basill, seconded by Commissioner Paprocki, to adopt EDA
Resolution No. 09-18 authorizing fund closings.
The motion passed 7-0.
8. Communications – None
