TITLE:
Junior Leader Recognition.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor Jeff Jacobs is asked to thank the Junior Leaders for their service this summer; and introduce
Playground Activities Coordinator Matt Terry who will provide background and current
information on the summer program.
(Recreation Superintendant Rick Birno and Summer Playground Director Katie Lee will be in
attendance to assist with presentation.)
Mayor Jeff Jacobs is also asked to announce the names (list to be provided) of the Junior Leaders and
distribute envelopes.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
There were 20 youth volunteers that completed the program this summer; they have volunteered
over 800 hours this summer, collectively. Several of these volunteers have been involved for many
years.
The Junior Leaders Program has been part of the Parks and Recreation Department for over 17
years.
Junior Leaders for the St. Louis Park Parks and Recreation Department volunteer during June and
July in the Summer Playground Program. The goal of this program is to offer 7th through 9th grade
youth an opportunity to maintain their relationship with the summer playground program, while
gaining valuable on-the-job experience assisting full-time leaders with other youth, ages 6 to 12. The
program also gives them the opportunity to be a positive role model to younger youth in their
community.
Job responsibilities included assisting leaders with program activities as well as set-up and clean-up
and initiating activities for playground participants. Junior Leaders assisted program participants in
understanding games and crafts projects, keeping them interested and involved in activities as well as
aware of upcoming events. Junior Leaders also assisted in limited supervision of program participants
to ensure their safety at the park. Junior Leaders demonstrated responsibility, positive attitudes and a
willingness to spend some of their summer volunteering their time at a neighborhood park. During

their time in the parks this summer, they became role models for the program participants they
worked with, as well as excellent helpers for the full-time leaders.
Junior Leaders were required to work a minimum of 40 hours during the Summer Playground
Program.
Junior Leaders are rewarded with this special recognition evening, a letter of recommendation, and
passes to The Rec Center’s ice arena.

7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. RBH Investments – Rezoning from High-Density Multiple-Family Residence
(RC) to Office (O)
Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report and stated the applicant is requesting to rezone
the property located at 2460 State Highway 100 from RC to O; this zoning change would
make the property consistent with the comprehensive plan and the current use of the
property. She stated the rezoning would allow the applicant to increase the amount of
signage allowed from 80 square feet to 200 square feet in the Office district. She added the
Planning Commission held a public hearing on this matter and recommended approval.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the property owner intends to make any other changes to
the property other than increasing the amount of signage allowed.
Ms. McMonigal stated this request was triggered by the applicant’s interest in increasing the
signage as well as staff’s discovery that the use is currently inconsistent with the
comprehensive plan.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Paprocki, to adopt
First Reading of an Ordinance Amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code Changing
Boundaries of Zoning Districts, 2460 State Highway 100 South (High-Density Multiple-
Family Residence (RC) District to Office (O) District) and to set Second Reading for July
20, 2009.
The motion passed 6-0.
8b. Bid Tabulation Municipal Service Center Expansion/Renovation – Project No.
2008-1900
Mr. Hoffman presented the staff report and stated the Municipal Service Center (MSC) was
originally constructed in 1971 with an additional storage bay constructed in 1986. As there
have been no significant renovations to the building; the facility has begun to show many
operational and code deficiencies. He explained that staff has been working with Oertel
Architects to design the MSC renovations and staff believes this effort has resulted in a very
efficient and practical renovation plan that will meet the City’s needs for the foreseeable
future and that fully utilizes the site. He stated the project will also allow for temporary use
by the Fire Department during the reconstruction of both fire stations. He presented the
architect’s rendering of the new service center and stated the park area is also being
reconstructed to allow for a large storm water containment and treatment pond on the
property, resulting in a significant environmental improvement. He stated the park will also
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Subject: City Council Minutes July 6, 2009
get a new parking lot and path going to the creek for canoe landing, which will promote the
area as a creek landing and take-off point. He further explained the site will include new
underground fuel storage tanks, relocation and reuse of the salt storage building, office
expansion, an additional vehicle maintenance bay, expanded vehicle storage bay for dump
trucks and plows, as well as a vehicle wash bay on the south side. He stated the project will
also include renovating the existing building to comply with ADA requirements. He stated
one of the goals of the project includes “green” construction components, i.e., improving the
storm water quality, having a LEED certifiable design, high R-value roof insulation,
ventilation system, heat recovery unit, use of sustainable materials, reuse of materials, and
recycling construction materials. He stated the project is permit ready and if the project is
awarded, shell completion will be completed by winter, with final completion in spring
2010.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated this has been a difficult process and while there are good
reasons to move forward with the project, he felt it would be better policy to re-bid the
project. He stated he would not be supporting approval of the project.
Councilmember Paprocki stated it is unfortunate that the original price estimate received
from the architect was so far out of line, considering how tight the bids were. He stated this
facility is deficient in a lot of ways and the renovations are needed. He stated re-bidding and
re-designing the project will require expenditure of additional time and money and he is in
favor of the project as it stands.
Councilmember Sanger stated it is unfortunate the City was given an inaccurate estimate of
the cost of this project; however, given the fact that the City received seven bids that were
tight; she felt the bids were not out of line for what the market will bear. She stated it is
important that the public understand that there are no frills in this project, it is a significant
amount of money, and that this project represents a basic upgrade of a building that has
needed upgrading for many years. She added the fire stations have had significant structural
issues with the floors and the City is fortunate that the emergency repairs are still holding.
She stated the City needs the space to house the fire equipment and personnel while the fire
stations are rebuilt over the next several years. She stated she will support this project and
asked staff to be diligent about finding opportunities to save money as the project moves
forward.
Councilmember Omodt stated there is a contingency built in to the project of approximately
$400,000-$500,000, but staff should not operate under the assumption that this
contingency can be spent, but rather, that the City will be frugal and cost-effective. He
requested further information regarding bond rates.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Subject: City Council Minutes July 6, 2009
Mr. DeJong stated when this plan was put together a couple of years ago, staff determined
that the limit on the City’s bank qualification, which saves the City interest, was $10 million
per year; as a result, staff bonded for this project last November and those interest rates came
in at 3.6% for 20 year bonds, representing an excellent interest rate and low cost of
financing. He added other funds for the project will come from internal funds currently
available.
Councilmember Basill agreed with Councilmembers Paprocki and Omodt and stated he will
support this project. He stated this project is necessary to meet ADA requirements and is
not a project that the City is undertaking just for the sake of renovating a building. He
noted the consultant underbid the project and the City received a number of bids that were
all close in number.
Mayor Jacobs stated the Council has worked hard on this project and this is a “need to do”
project for all the reasons stated earlier. He shared Councilmember Finkelstein’s frustration
with the fact that the original cost estimates were so much lower than the actual bids, and it
is clear that the bidders were correct and the architect was not. He pointed out this was not
an error on the part of City staff. He stated this is a good time to be doing construction
because the bids are relatively low and he supports doing the project now.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated this is a much needed project and both the Council and
staff have learned a lot from this experience. He stated the City has already agreed when the
fire stations are built, the City will be using an independent construction estimator. He
added everyone here is a careful steward of the public’s money.
It was moved by Councilmember Omodt, seconded by Councilmember Paprocki, to
designate Jorgenson Construction, Inc. the lowest responsible bidder and authorize
execution of a contract with the firm in the amount of $8,164,000 for the
expansion/renovation of the Municipal Service Center Project No. 2008-1900.
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Finkelstein opposed).
9. Communications
Mayor Jacobs expressed thanks to the Public Works and Parks and Recreation staff that
helped with the fireworks on July 4th.
Mayor Jacobs invited residents to the Lilac Park and Beehive Ribbon Cutting/Grand
Opening on Monday, July 13th, at 6:00 p.m. He stated parking is limited and residents are
encouraged to walk or bike to the park.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Subject: City Council Minutes July 6, 2009
Councilmember Basill stated he received a number of phone calls based on some comments
he made in the Elmwood neighborhood newsletter. He stated one of the residents asked if
the Highway 7/Wooddale Avenue bridge was going to be completed. He indicated the
bridge is going to be completed; the City is seeking help from the County for the project.
He stated he also commented in the newsletter about the City’s schools and how the City is
unique in its boundaries between the schools and the City which provides opportunities to
work together and increase efficiencies. He stated he also made a comment about artificial
turf and that it should be looked at from a fiscal standpoint, if it were combined between the
school district and the City, versus the school district paying to maintain it every year. He
felt this is something that should be explored because it may save money for the community
in the long run.
Mayor Jacobs stated that Councilmembers Carver, Paprocki, and Basill are not running for
re-election this year and reiterated that the filings open tomorrow and close on July 21st.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JULY 13, 2009
The meeting convened at 7:10 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jeff Jacobs, John Basill, C. Paul Carver (arrived at 7:16 p.m.), Phil
Finkelstein, Paul Omodt, Loran Paprocki and Sue Sanger.
Councilmembers absent: None
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Planning/Zoning Supervisor (Ms. McMonigal),
Community Development Director (Mr. Locke), Director of Parks & Recreation (Ms. Walsh), and
Recording Secretary (Ms. Hughes).
Guest: Jim Brimeyer, representative of the Policy Advisory Committee for the Southwest Transitway.
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – July 27, 2009
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed study session agenda for July 27, 2009.
Councilmember Finkelstein requested that the Fire Department include in its report a discussion
regarding the Municipal Service Center expansion and building plans.
2. Excess Land Sale Proceeds – Survey Results
Mr. Locke presented the webpage survey results based on Council’s direction to seek community
input on the three ideas generated by the Council for the use of the excess land sale proceeds. He
stated ninety responses were received and of the three options listed, “environmental initiatives”
received the most votes. He added that 28 respondents proposed using the funds to help St. Louis
Park schools, and there were several comments suggesting the funds be used to help with the City’s
operational costs, reducing taxes, or otherwise fulfilling some of the City’s basic needs. He indicated
the results show a clear preference to use the proceeds in a fiscally responsible manner that benefits as
much of the community as possible; as a result, staff is proposing that a sound use of the funds
would be for the creation of a more formal boulevard tree replacement program, particularly because
the City will be faced with the prospect of losing roughly 4,000 boulevard ash trees to the Emerald
Ash Borer. He added use of the funds for boulevard tree replacement would provide a lasting long-
term investment in terms of the overall environmental health of the community.
Mayor Jacobs stated it was interesting to see all the comments regarding the schools and pointed out
the City is trying to help the schools but cannot legitimately use the excess land sale proceeds for that
purpose. He added the Council was very specific in its previous discussions that the funds be used
for environmental initiatives, for community arts funding, or for community center planning.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 13, 2009
Councilmember Sanger concurred with Mayor Jacobs and asked if the proceeds would be used only
for planting trees or whether enough funds are available to pay for maintaining the trees over time.
Ms. Walsh stated that the City replaced a majority of its diseased elm trees with ash trees, and noted
it would be staff’s intention to use the excess land sale proceeds to supplement the City’s current tree
replacement budget. She explained that current City policy states that there is no fee to the
homeowner for replacement of a boulevard tree; the homeowner shares in the take-down of the tree
and is responsible for watering the tree.
Mr. Harmening stated the proposed program would be used for actual tree replacement, with the
expense of removal coming from other budget sources. He added staff views this proposal as a
capital investment that includes an aesthetic component, a fiscal component, an environmental
component, as well as a neighborhood component. He noted there may be some additional outside
funding available for tree replacement in the future given the ash borer issue and that these funds
could be used as matching funds to any future tree replacement grant programs.
Councilmembers Paprocki and Finkelstein stated they were in favor of the proposed boulevard tree
replacement program.
Councilmember Sanger stated she received a call from a resident asking why a decision needs to be
made now about the use of the proceeds and whether the City needs to spend it now.
Mayor Jacobs stated one option available to the Council is to hold off and do nothing at this time.
Councilmember Omodt stated he was in favor of the program and likened it to an urban
reforestation program.
Councilmember Sanger stated there needs to be a better system in place for watering the trees.
Ms. Walsh stated property owners are encouraged to water their boulevard trees.
As there appeared to be Council consensus regarding staff’s recommendation, Mr. Harmening stated
staff will prepare specific program or policy details for consideration by the Council at a future
meeting.
3. 2009 City Council Bike Ride
Mr. Harmening presented possible routes for a bicycle ride and suggested that the ride be done on
mostly local streets to highlight sidewalk gaps, proposed trails, or other points of interest in the
community.
It was the consensus of the Council to ride the north-south route suggested by staff; staff will
coordinate a Saturday morning for the bike ride.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 13, 2009
Councilmember Carver suggested adding a component to the bike ride that includes the railroad
tracks and getting across the Burlington line.
4. Update on Southwest Transit and Freight Rail Study
Ms. McMonigal presented an update on the Southwest Transit and Freight Rail Study and the
freight rail options being considered by Hennepin County. She stated staff has been working with
the County on the railroad study and has identified several key issues that the County needs to
address in its study; as outlined in the staff report on pages 3 and 4. She added staff is taking steps
to better understand the City’s decision-making and legal role in the freight rail and light rail routing
decision, as well as further evaluating the alternative routes for advantages and disadvantages to the
community.
Mr. Harmening stated the County has attempted to separate the freight rail and light rail issues, but
this is difficult because the two are intertwined relative to the Kenilworth corridor. He indicated
from a technical perspective, the Kenilworth corridor likely makes sense; however, if light rail is put
on the Kenilworth corridor, the question is raised as to whether freight rail can exist there. He stated
staff believes the City should hire a consultant to advise the City on this issue and to assist the City
in making the best possible decision.
Councilmember Sanger stated the information contained in the staff report provides useful
background information and the question that needs to be addressed is what needs to happen next.
She stated that a number of cities are being very vocal in stating their position as to where light rail
should go and it does not appear that St. Louis Park has done that. She stated there are a number of
items that need to be addressed by the County in terms of freight rail, including the question of who
decides what mitigation is performed if the County moves freight rail to St. Louis Park, as well as
differentiating between mitigation versus betterments. She asked what kind of input residents will
have and specifically, what kind of input they will have in deciding what mitigation is done. She
stated she felt the Council should adopt a resolution to the effect that it does not want freight rail
traffic dumped on St. Louis Park and the need for the County to hear this.
Mr. Brimeyer agreed the City should do everything it can to protect the community, and stated he
did not feel the City should do anything until after the PAC meeting on July 29th. He added the
County’s freight rail study needs to further address mitigation.
The City Council discussed mitigation versus betterment and the County’s role in providing
mitigation funds. The Council also discussed re-routing of freight rail traffic in the City and its
impact on neighborhoods.
Ms. McMonigal stated the County has hired TKDA to perform engineering work on the freight rail
study; the County has also hired another consultant to review all route alternatives.
Ms. McMonigal stated staff has not yet received any information from the County with respect to
costs and ridership for the LRT alternatives.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 13, 2009
Councilmember Sanger stated the 11th/12th Street alternative makes the most sense and ridership
would be much higher.
Councilmember Basill stated it will be important for the City to remain reasonable on all aspects of
the project and to ensure that light rail becomes a reality in the City.
Mr. Harmening presented proposed next steps, including a formal request to the County to address
the questions raised by staff with respect to the Hennepin County study. He stated staff will
continue to work with the City Attorney on the City’s legal position both in terms of freight rail and
light rail. He stated staff would like to bring on additional expertise from a rail perspective,
particularly freight, to provide assistance as the County continues its freight rail study. He stated
staff feels it should push the County harder with respect to the entire freight rail issue in terms of
impact to the community if the County proposes re-routing traffic, and the consultant could help
staff evaluate the quality of that analysis.
Mr. Locke pointed out the City is not moving the route and the rail is on the Kenilworth corridor
because the County said it could be there temporarily; if the County tells them to get out, it must
give them a reasonable acceptable alternative location. He stated right now, a reasonable alternative
does not exist and this is the County’s problem, but the City needs to understand how much
leverage it has and to make sure the County acts responsibly on this issue. He added staff is waiting
for a couple of key technical memos from the County regarding cost and ridership for LRT, which
will provide key data for moving forward.
Mr. Harmening suggested a draft resolution stating the city’s position be prepared to be considered
following the coming additional information and PAC meetings.
Councilmember Sanger stated it might behoove the City to involve the School District since the
possible re-routing will have an impact on the high school.
Councilmember Paprocki requested that any report prepared by the City’s consultant be as non-
technical as possible so that people can easily understand the report.
Councilmember Finkelstein stated he wants to make sure the SWLRT keeps its place in line for
transit funding. Councilmembers Sanger and Paprocki agreed.
5. Minnehaha Creek Partnership
Mr. Harmening presented a proposed resolution authorizing participation in a Minnehaha Creek
Regional Partnership. He stated the partnership is intended to coordinate efforts for the betterment
of the creek.
It was the consensus of the City Council to approve the proposed resolution.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 13, 2009
6. Communications (verbal)
Mr. Harmening stated that National Night Out is scheduled for August 4th and in the past, the
Police Department has been put in the uncomfortable position of being asked to have Council
candidates or State House candidates ride with them. He stated Chief Luse has asked whether a
policy should be adopted that prohibits candidate ride-alongs for National Night Out.
It was the consensus of the City Council to adopt a policy stating that candidates will not be allowed
to ride along with Police Department staff during National Night Out activities.
Mr. Harmening stated the Galaxy Drive-In recently opened; staff has discovered that some of the
features on the site are entirely on the City’s easement. He stated staff is working with the owner to
resolve the issue, and asked if the Council wanted to give consideration to allowing private use on a
public right of way. He added the City needs the easement for snow storage.
Councilmember Omodt stated it was not the intention of the owner for the site to be on a city
easement, and felt the City should work with the owner to resolve the issue.
It was the consensus of the City Council to discuss private use of public land at a future study
session meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

session.
Councilmember Paprocki requested an update regarding the Louisiana Avenue/Highway 7
interchange.
2. Pandemic Planning Overview
Fire Chief Stemmer presented a draft Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plan for the City and
outlined the assumptions used in preparing the draft. He stated the primary objective is to maintain
the continuity of essential City services in the event of a pandemic,. The plan is designed so that
predetermined essential services would be maintained, and residents would be protected even with
an anticipated reduction of the City’s work force.
The City Council discussed essential services provided by the City as well as those services provided
by outside contractors, e.g., trash pick-up.
Councilmember Sanger stated that typically the schools close first which necessitates parents having
to stay home with their children. She stated it will be important to keep that assumption in mind
when considering workforce absences. She indicated the plan should also discuss who is responsible
for speaking on behalf of the City and felt Mayor Jacobs should be that person. She suggested the
plan also include a provision for coordinating staff with other jurisdictions where appropriate.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3d) Page 2
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 27, 2009
It was the consensus of the City Council to continue preparation of the Pandemic Influenza
Preparedness Plan.
3. Fire Department Annual Report
Fire Chief Stemmer presented the 2008 Fire Department Annual Report.
Assistant Chief Windschitl reported that 2008 calls increased by approximately 200, with
approximately 4,500 calls for the year. He indicated this is roughly 12 calls per day and 70% of calls
are for medical services. He noted that the Fire Department is able to get anywhere in the City
within four minutes and the department is very proud of that number.
Assistant Chief Dobesh discussed the services provided by the Fire Department and stated the paid
on call firefighters worked 5,700 hours in 2008. He stated in 2008, officers from St. Louis Park,
Hopkins, Edina and Minnetonka participated in animal rescue training; that training proved
valuable during the Salem Avenue fire. He discussed the recent training with the Police Department
and Parks Department with an active shooter drill; in addition, Methodist Hospital participated in a
drill with the department as part of the Republican National Convention. He stated an ergonomic
assessment was conducted in 2007, and in 2008 the department participated in training involving a
rescue lift. He explained that the rescue lift was designed to address an issue frequently encountered
by the department where it is difficult to get two firefighters into tight quarters such as a bathroom;
the rescue lift is a hoist used by firefighters so they do not have to lift a person requiring assistance.
Fire Marshal Smith discussed the smoke detector program and noted the department purchased
combination carbon monoxide/smoke detector units which are available on request. He stated that
the department has been working with various condo and apartment building property owners on
updating their detectors to meet the new carbon monoxide detector law, which requires a working
carbon monoxide detector within ten feet of any bedroom.
Councilmember Sanger stated there is an upward trend in calls for medical services. She asked if the
department has enough resources to respond to this growing need, particularly given the aging
demographics in the City.
Fire Chief Stemmer stated when a call for medical services comes in, typically one police and one fire
unit are sent to the scene and triage is done over the radio. He indicated the City has an additional
resource available with Hennepin County EMS. He added the department monitors these calls
closely and follow-up is conducted when there appears to be an excessive use of medical services
and/or false fire alarms.
Fire Chief Stemmer discussed the new fire station and upcoming temporary move to the Municipal
Service Center.
Mayor Jacobs expressed the City Council’s thanks and appreciation to the Fire Department.

4. Budget Communication Plan Update
Mr. Zwilling presented a proposed electronic feedback tool to be used on the City’s website as part
of the 2010 budget. He stated the tool is intended to provide an opportunity for residents to
provide general feedback regarding the budget and possible cuts. He stated the feedback tool will be
promoted through the City’s various communication resources; staff has also developed a card for
the City Council’s use that explains the budget problem, proposed plan, and directs residents to the
website for accessing the feedback tool.
Mayor Jacobs requested that staff provide a demonstration of the proposed webpage at the next
Council meeting.
5. Communications (verbal)
Mr. Hoffman reported that excavation is underway at the Municipal Service Center and will require
additional correction to remove bituminous under the new salt storage building location and
construction debris discovered in the future storm water pond. He stated this will raise excavation
and related testing costs for soil correction. He added that the contingency fund will be used for
these costs and staff feels there is enough in the contingency fund to cover these corrections He
reported the Architect and staff design team has completed some changes to the design that do not
affect the long term building capacity or site use; these changes will result in cost savings and change
orders will be presented for Council’s approval. Councilmember Basill cautioned staff about making
design changes that may save money in the short term, but that will prove to be more expensive
later.
Mr. Harmening requested that the City Council schedule its annual work session retreat for January
or February 2010; staff will send proposed dates to the Council and inform the Council candidates.
Mr. Harmening stated the City Council has not had a meeting with the School Board this year and
suggested holding that meeting in late November after the elections. Council concurred and asked
the City Manager to arrange this meeting
Mr. Harmening stated he has scheduled the council candidate orientation for August 20th.
Mr. Harmening reported he recently spoke with Pat Mascia regarding a tour of West End; he
suggested holding the tour on August 17th at 6:00 p.m. Councilmember Finkelstein suggested
inviting the Planning Commissioners to attend the tour.
Mr. Harmening stated the Methodist Hospital Cancer Center is holding an open house/grand
opening on Saturday, August 1st from 9:00 a.m.-12:00 noon; Councilmember Sanger will attend
and provide remarks at 10:00 a.m.
Mr. Harmening stated that National Night Out is on Tuesday, August 4th and that block party
locations will be provided to Council.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 3d) Page 4
Subject: Study Session Minutes July 27, 2009
Mr. Harmening provided information regarding the soil vapor study at the Reilly site. He stated the
U.S. EPA and Minnesota PCA are recommending that a follow-up soil vapor survey be conducted
on the site. He stated staff is working on all aspects of the request, including a public outreach plan
similar in nature to the one used for the Elmwood community. He added staff does not believe the
City should be responsible for the cost of the testing.
Councilmember Basill stated he was discouraged to see that there is no federal funding available for
any clean-up required on the site. He encouraged staff to contact the City’s representatives in
Washington to provide any needed assistance with clean-up costs.
The meeting adjourned at 8:12 p.m.

TITLE:
Minnehaha Creek Partnership.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing participation in the Minnehaha Creek Regional
Partnership.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to adopt a resolution indicating its desire to participate in a partnership
intended to preserve and enhance the resources of Minnehaha Creek?
BACKGROUND:
After the canoe ride on the Minnehaha Creek in June, 2008, the City Council convened in a study
session and discussed with representatives of the City Minnetonka, Three Rivers Park District and
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District various matters associated with Minnehaha Creek (see
attached except from June 23, 2008 City Council Study Session Minutes). During this discussion it
was noted that the City of Minnetonka, Three Rivers Park District and the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District had developed a partnership to coordinate efforts for the betterment of the creek.
It was suggested that this partnership concept could be expanded to include other communities
adjacent to the creek.
Since that study session the city managers and staff from Minnetonka, Hopkins, St. Louis Park and
Edina, along with representative from Three Rivers, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the
Minneapolis Park Board, have met several times to examine ways to further this partnership. From
these meetings it was determined that to meet the varying interests of the organizations at the table,
starting with a simple commitment to participate via the adoption of a resolution was the best
approach to use.
Attached is a resolution drafted by the parties involved that authorizes the various entities to
participate in the Minnehaha Creek Partnership. As you will see in the resolution, the intent of the
partnership is –
“A partnership of local and regional leaders, recognizing that Minnehaha Creek is a significant
regional recreational and natural resource, commits to preserving and enhancing the creek’s resources
for current and future generations while strengthening the communities along the creek.”
As further noted in the resolution, the goals of the partnership would be to –
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 4c) Page 2
Subject: Minnehaha Creek Partnership
1. Promote the public recreational use, where appropriate, of Minnehaha Creek by providing
opportunities for citizens to use and enjoy the creek resources with the intent of increasing
the livability and quality of life within the watershed.
2. Preserve, protect and enhance the area’s cultural resources through greater public
understanding of the significant role Minnehaha Creek has played in American history and
culture.
3. Enhance understanding and appreciation of Minnehaha Creek through expanded education
and interpretive opportunities.
4. Communicate with partners to coordinate land use and infrastructure decisions that are
consistent with the partnership’s goals.
5. Work with partners to identify minimum standards for landings, bridges, roadway crossings
and other creek elements.
6. Achieve local, state and federal recognition of Minnehaha Creek as a significant regional
resource.
7. Improve the Minnehaha Creek ecosystem by minimizing direct discharges, achieving desired
in-stream flows that improve water quality through effective land use planning and decision
making.
8. Develop a community and organizational philosophy that values minimal impact approaches
for both citizen and public works activities within the riparian corridor.
Adoption of the resolution does not commit any of the parties involved to provide funding or
undertake activities that are deemed undesirable. However, adopting the resolution does show a
commitment and interest towards preserving and enhancing the resource the creek represents and to
work together with other cities and agencies to help make this happen.
As the City Council may recall, this matter was discussed at the July 13, 2009 Study Session at
which time the Council agreed to move forward with the adoption of this Resolution.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Adopting the resolution does not commit the City financially. However, by forming such a
partnership, opportunities may become available for funding through the new environmental
funding being generated in the state via the recent constitutional amendment.
VISION CONSIDERATION:
Participating in the Minnehaha Creek Partnership is consistent with Vision St. Louis Park and the
City Council’s Strategic Direction of “St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in
environmental stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness in all areas of City
business”.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
JUNE 23, 2008
2. City Council Canoe Trip
City Council took a canoe trip down Minnehaha Creek with the City Manager, Park and Recreation
staff, and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission. Also participating were representative
from the City of Minnetonka, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and the Three Rivers Park
District.
Ms. Barone explained to the Council what the City of Minnetonka has been doing with the area
around the Minnehaha Creek within the City of Minnetonka. The City of Minnetonka has been
buying property on the Creek for the last 45 years. They have removed a number of the homes that
they have purchased. Recently they brought in the watershed district to discuss and develop concept
plans for the area around the Creek. They have also met with the neighborhoods that border the
Creek to get their feedback regarding the Creek. For the most part, the City of Minnetonka has
been funding the projects. They have now set up a shuttle, in conjunction with Three Rivers Park
District that runs along the creek for people to canoe down the Creek. They have been averaging
about 20 rentals a weekend. They will continue the shuttles until the water level of the Creek goes
down.
Ms. Barone also said that the east side will have an interpretative center. Their hope is that by
working together with other cities and organizations they may be able to get more funding. Working
together as a group does not commit anyone financially but it does say that you would like to work
together to better the environment around the Creek. They hope to also include these opportunities
in other cities along the Creek.
Mr. Gears provided background on how the partnership began. Many years ago they pitched the
idea for the water trail to the park district and there was a lot of interest but not a lot of support. He
stated he believed it was apparent that the concepts evolving in Minnetonka could take place in
other communities. They have also begun discussion with the City of Edina. Any city is welcome
to enter into the group, just by expressing their interest.
Ms. Barone noted that the Regional LRT Trail is close to Minnehaha Creek in Minnetonka and the
consultant they had hired had looked at connecting the Regional LRT Trails to the Creek.
Councilmember Paprocki asked for clarification if the water trail was a canoe trail or a walking trail.
Ms. Barone confirmed that the trail they are discussing today would be a canoe trail on the Creek,
but they are also interested in having walking trails near the Creek. She also noted that one of the
ideas they have discussed is to add more of a parkway type environment by adding trails along the
Minnehaha Creek area. They have also discussed extending this trail system from Minnehaha Creek
to the Mississippi River.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 4c) Page 6
Subject: Minnehaha Creek Partnership
Mr. Wyatt noted that the trail is exciting but needs to be balanced. He also asked that the Council
keep in mind that the Creek does not always have water in it and there are many natural
characteristics of the Creek. What the Watershed District is hoping to offer is support for the
wetlands, bank stabilization, and low impact development programs. He also noted that this is
similar to what the City of St Louis Park is doing at the Methodist Hospital location. There is also a
land conservation program currently in the works with Hennepin County to purchase land for
preservation purposes.
Councilmember Sanger asked that they describe the park at the Minnetonka Mills location. Ms.
Barone answered that there is a Burwell house and to the west there will be a botanical field. This
area will have mixed hard and soft surfaces. There are currently plans for a trail and boardwalks
throughout this area. This series of trails will start from the Civic Center Campus.
Mr. Miller noted that he felt that this was one of the most exciting trails, similar to the one at the
Arboretum. He felt that the presentation was very good. He noted that the Council members could
look at the concept plans on the City of Minnetonka website.
Mr. Harmening noted that St. Louis Park is known for its history of partnerships; this is one of the
things that have helped them to be successful. He suggested looking at the environment that the
Creek travels through in St. Louis Park. He has asked how the City could enhance the Creek as an
amenity in this community and what might come to mind on how they could partner together to
enhance the Creek. He asked what ideas they may have besides the canoes.
Mr. Wyatt recommended taking advantage of development opportunities to try to achieve what they
want to achieve. He also noted that wherever these opportunities arise, the Watershed District
would like to be a part of it. He noted the fact that the City owns much of the Creek bank area and
the Watershed District would be happy to work with St. Louis Park to achieve something good for
the Creeks.
Mr. Evenson said that what they are trying to suggest doesn’t necessarily mean trails along the Creek
but it means maintaining the feel and aesthetics of the Creek. He suggested more shoreline
maintenance and to identify strategic acquisitions.
Councilmember Sanger inquired about the City of Minnetonka regarding the homes that they have
been acquiring over the past 40 years and what they did to get the community involved. Mr.
Blacksted said that there has never really been a problem with the community and that they have
always had a very positive reaction in the community when they talked about the Creek.
Councilmember Paprocki noted that there are a number of homes on the Creek and asked if they
had to choose one or two problems homes on the Creek and determine how they could go about
fixing it. Mr. Evenson said that he would suggest the Knollwood area to Methodist Hospital. He
noted that it was a good area for development and for the different organizations to work together.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 4c) Page 7
Subject: Minnehaha Creek Partnership
Mr. Miller noted that St. Louis Park owns most of the land from Methodist Hospital back to the
Creek. He thought this would be a great opportunity to develop into these wetlands. Mr. Blacksted
said that the land around Knollwood is going to change; the challenge is having a plan for that land.
Mr. Evenson felt that if the City had the vision and an opportunity to move ahead, they could make
some real changes in this area. He also said that there is some real money available to do this. There
are many things you could do in this area including education programs, alternative to timber
building, etc.
Mr. Johnson noted that one of the things they have done in Minnetonka is to build formal launch
areas for the canoes. If they were going to extend the shuttle program they would really have to do
this in St. Louis Park. Ms. Walsh added they have upgraded the canoe area by the Target store in St.
Louis Park and it could be used as a launch area.
Mr. Gears added that the idea is to move these visions outside of Minnetonka. They would like to
include what they have started in Minnetonka with other communities, to take what is hidden away
and show it to the public. He also noted that by joining this governance there is no financial
commitment, each community has a member that sits on the steering board and then at a staff level
they get together once every two months and discuss how to get things moving. St. Louis Park
would get to be part of the team. It is a meeting meant to keep communities accountable and to
remain invested in moving forward. It is a commitment of partners.
Mr. Harmening asked if they would send him a copy of the governance agreement to review.
Councilmember Finkelstein asked for an update on the project at Methodist Hospital. Mr. Calkins
said that the current plan is to start this winter, possibly December or January. He also noted that
the site is going to be a mess because wetland projects are inherently messy. The plan is to do
wintertime construction when the land is frozen.
Discussion took place regarding the canoe shuttle service and the canoe riders. Mr. Johnson stated
that there are about 50% Minnetonka residents riding the Creek. The number one request that they
get from riders is to be able to go farther down the Creek. They have had the idea in mind to share
canoes among the cities so that they can work together to get the peopled shuttled.
Councilmember Sanger asked how much longer they would be running the shuttle service this year.
Mr. Johnson replied that they are committed through the end of July but it all depends on the water
levels.
Mr. Harmening asked what the cost is to use the canoe shuttle service. Mr. Johnson replied that it is
a 2.4 mile-canoe trip and that the cost is $20 to rent a canoe and $20 per group to use the shuttle
service.
Mr. Harmening also asked if the riders sign a release form. Mr. Johnson noted that the City of
Minnetonka has used the Three Rivers Park District release form.

Subject: Minnehaha Creek Partnership
Mr. Gears noted that there are 6 or 7 points on the Creek that you can start and get out of the
canoe. Ideally he would like to see a shuttle service that could run between all of these points.
Mr. Evenson ended the meeting by inviting whoever would like to help with the Creek cleanup on
July 13th was more than welcome to join. The cleanup is being sponsored by Linenkugel’s and REI.
They will start in the late afternoon and finish with a barbeque.

2. Approval of Minutes of May 6, 2009 and May 20, 2009
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval of the minutes of May 6,
2009 and May 20, 2009.
Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of
4-0.
3. Hearings
A. Zoning change from RC – High Density Multiple-Family Residential to
O – Office
Location: 2460 State Highway 100
Applicant: RBH Investments
Case No.: 09-13-Z
Gary Morrison, Assistant Zoning Administrator, presented the staff report. He stated that a
one story, 10,850 square foot office building is located on the property. He said typically
before a property can be rezoned, the Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended to be
consistent with the proposed zoning district. He noted in this case the property is already
guided for Office in the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Morrison spoke about the adjacent
zoning. He said that rezoning to Office would allow the applicant to increase the amount
of signage available. If the rezoning is approved, the applicant will add signage to an
existing awning located on the north side of the building which faces the Luther VW
dealership.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 4g) Page 2
Subject: Planning Commission Minutes June 17, 2009
Commissioner Robertson spoke about the adjacent General Commercial zoning and asked if
the applicant could achieve the same goals if the property was rezoned General Commercial,
making the zoning more cohesive.
Mr. Morrison replied that the signage allotment would be about the same. But, the
applicant would be required to amend the Comprehensive Plan which would be another
process and a more extensive consideration.
Commissioner Robertson opened the public hearing. As no one was present wishing to
speak, he closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to recommend approval to rezone 2460 State
Highway 100 South from High-Density Multiple-Family Residential (RC) to Office (O).
Commissioner Shapiro seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a vote of
4-0.
4. Other Business
Commissioner Morris asked if staff is planning a tour of sites proposed to be redesignated in
the Comprehensive Plan update.
Meg McMonigal, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, said staff has considered possible tour
sites. She said normally a Planning Commission tour has been held in September and she
suggested the tour could be done sooner to include a tour of the West End development
before it opens.
Commissioner Morris said it might be of interest to also include development sites which
have been stalled or modified due to the recession.

Public Hearing - Liquor License - The Cooper LLC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor to close public hearing. Motion to approve application from The Cooper, LLC, dba Cooper
for an on-sale intoxicating and Sunday liquor license to be located at 1607 Park Place Boulevard
with the license term through March 1, 2010.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the Council wish to approve the liquor license for The Cooper, LLC?
BACKGROUND:
The City received an application from The Cooper, LLC doing business as Cooper for an on-sale
intoxicating liquor and Sunday sales licenses. The establishment plans to begin operation in
October 2009 at 1607 Park Place Boulevard located in the new West End Development. The
premise to be licensed is approximately 7,313 square feet consisting of 261 seats inside and 162
outdoor patio seating.
The Cooper, LLC is a subsidiary of Cara Irish Pubs LLC. Cara’s other pub holdings include
Kieran’s Irish Pub and The Local in downtown Minneapolis; and The Liffey Irish Pub in downtown
St. Paul.
The main principals involved are as follows:
Henry A. Cousineau Ltd Partner
Kieran Folliard Partner/CEO
Peter Killen Secretary/Treasurer
Walid Serhan General Manager
The Police Department has conducted a full investigation and has found nothing in the course of
their investigation that would warrant denial of the licenses. The application and Police report are
on file in the Office of the City Clerk should Council members wish to review the information prior
to the public hearing. The required public hearing legal notice was published in the Sun Sailor
Newspaper on July 23, 2009.
Should the Council approve the liquor licenses, no actual licenses will be issued to the applicant
until all the required compliance is met with the City Inspections Department and the State Alcohol
and Gambling Enforcement Division.

TH 7 & Wooddale Avenue Interchange Project Approvals - Project No. 2004-1700.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
1. Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing entering into a Cooperative Agreement with the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) for Project No. 2004-1700.
2. Motion to approve Cooperative Agreement with the Metropolitan Council (Met Council
Environmental Services) for Project No. 2004-1700.
3. Motion to approve Consultant Services Agreement for Project No. 2004-1700.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does the City Council wish to continue to take the necessary steps to keep this project on schedule
for construction commencing in 2009?
BACKGROUND:
Background and Actions Presently Needed:
On March 2, 2009 the Council passed a resolution approving plans and specifications and
authorizing an advertisement for bids for the Highway 7/Wooddale Interchange Project.
Because of the project’s use of federal funding, several procedural approvals and sign-offs of the
construction plans by the State of Minnesota (Mn/DOT) and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) were required prior to advertising for bids. The last of the approvals was attained on June
30, and the project has subsequently been advertised.
A project letting (bid opening) is scheduled for August 13, 2009. Prior to the opening of bids and
awarding of a contract, there are still a couple of administrative requirements that must be
completed as follows:
1. Cooperative Agreement with Mn/DOT for bridge and roadway construction
A Cooperative Agreement between the City of St. Louis Park and Mn/DOT must be approved by
the City Council prior to the opening of bids. The Cooperative Agreement is similar and consistent
with cooperative agreements for other projects that the City has entered into with Mn/DOT in the
past. Essentially, the agreement provides for the following:
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 8a) Page 2
Subject: TH 7 & Wooddale Avenue Interchange Project Approvals – Project No. 2004-1700
1. Assigning of Project Funding Obligations. Mn/DOT will be providing construction
engineering services for the road and bridge construction during the duration of the project
at Mn/DOT’s cost. In addition, federal stimulus funds in the amount of $2,507,500 are
being provided to fund the project and will be passed to the City through Mn/DOT. The
Agreement therefore designates financial obligations of Mn/DOT accordingly.
2. Responsibilities and Obligations During Construction. The project is being lead and
administered by the City of St. Louis Park. However, road and bridge construction
engineering services will be provided by Mn/DOT during the course of construction. The
Agreement therefore outlines respective obligations and responsibilities of both the State and
the City during the course of construction, which includes inspections, contract
management, contract payments, and other administrative tasks required during
construction.
3. Responsibilities and Obligations After Construction. Upon completion of the project there
will be newly completed infrastructure, including a new bridge, ramps, a relocated frontage
road, highway improvements, drainage improvements, and other items. Eventual ownership
and maintenance of these facilities will be split between Mn/DOT and the City, generally
described follows:
a) Frontage Road – Owned and maintained by the City of St. Louis Park.
b) Bridge and Ramps – Owned and maintained by Mn/DOT. Wooddale Avenue and
the bicycle trail and sidewalks across the bridge will be maintained by the City.
The Agreement provides the framework and further detail for these respective responsibilities, and is
consistent with similar agreements. The Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
Per federal and state requirements, this agreement must be approved by Council prior to the
opening of bids.
2. Cooperative Agreement with the Metropolitan Council (MCES) for forcemain relocation
As part of constructing the improvements, a large (24-inch diameter dual barrel) sanitary sewer
forcemain owned and operated by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) must be
relocated. Because of the aging condition of the forcemain, MCES had already programmed a
replacement or rehabilitation within the next few years. The timing of the TH 7/Wooddale project
provides an opportune time for MCES to replace the forcemain by including the work as part of the
larger roadway improvement project.
Over the past several months, MCES has actively engaged in the development of construction plans
with the City to include the forcemain work with the project by the City’s contractor. The
relocation cost will be reimbursed to the City by MCES. As a result, a Cooperative Agreement has
been developed for approval and includes the following:
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Subject: TH 7 & Wooddale Avenue Interchange Project Approvals – Project No. 2004-1700
1. The total relocation cost will be paid by MCES, including engineering, construction
inspection, payments, and the cost of furnishing and installing of the pipe itself.
2. Assignments of responsibilities during and after construction, including the following:
a) Easements and permits required to relocate the forcemain (outside of the roadway
work itself) shall be the responsibility of MCES.
b) MCES designates the City as its agent to advertise for bids and enter into a contract
with a successful bidder.
c) The City will administer the forcemain portion of the contract work and provide
construction staking. MCES will inspect the contract work construction and provide
the City monthly reports. The City will take necessary steps to insure that the
construction is in accordance with the MCES project construction documents, and
that the MCES facility becomes fully operational.
d) Modifications to construction documents and/or change orders during the course of
construction shall be administered by the City, subject to MCES consent and
approval.
The Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney.
3. Additional Consulting Engineering Services Required
Construction of the Highway 7 & Wooddale Improvements will be administered by the City of St.
Louis Park. Although Mn/DOT will be providing construction and inspection services for some of
this work, the overall responsibility and management of the entire project (including the contractor)
will reside with the City.
In addition to the effort typically required to manage a project of this magnitude, a significant
amount of added administrative efforts will be required as a result of the use of federal funds, along
with the MCES forcemain relocation work. More specifically a process known as the Delegated
Contract Process (DCP) for federal aid projects must be strictly adhered to. Among many
requirements, the process includes the following:
1. Prior to Award of a Contract: Evaluation of bids prior to award, including accuracy and
completeness of the bids, conformance of the low bidder with mandatory State wage
requirements, conformance with State Disadvantage Business (DBE) requirements through
the State’s Civil Rights Office, and verification of NPDES (Stormwater) permits.
2. After Award of Contract and During Construction: Coordinating and conducting a pre-
construction conference, submittal of payments and reimbursement requests to the State,
continuous contract performance documentation and submittals to the District State Aid
Engineer throughout the project, monitoring and documentation of contractor payrolls and
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 8a) Page 4
Subject: TH 7 & Wooddale Avenue Interchange Project Approvals – Project No. 2004-1700
labor compliance requirements, preparation of payment estimates, execution of change
orders and determination of cost responsibilities (State, Federal, or City), evaluating and
documenting claims, submittal of material and testing certifications, monitoring of project
schedules and critical task completions, and final estimates including final labor compliance
certifications and liquidated damage assessments.
In addition to the Delegated Contract Process requirements described above, the project will require
an extensive amount of coordination and liaison activities with the Mn/DOT field staff, local
property owners, private utilities, and other stakeholders. While City staff will be absorbing much of
the coordination and conveyance of public information, the magnitude of the project will require a
significant amount of additional time and effort beyond that of a more typical capital project
performed by the City. As a result, the use of consulting services to supplement staff efforts is
needed in order to comply with Mn/DOT and Federal contracting/funding requirements.
SRF Consulting has provided a proposal to provide the above services on an hourly basis in an
amount not to exceed $273,460. Approximately 1/3 of this amount is estimated for services related
to the MCES forcemain, and will be reimbursed to the City by MCES. The services offered by SRF
are necessary to deliver the project.
Next Steps:
Bids are scheduled to be opened on August 13, 2009. In accordance with Federal and State
requirements, the bids will then go through a very thorough evaluation process. Presuming
competitive and satisfactory bids are received, and a lowest responsible bidder is determined to be
recommended for award, a resolution authorizing an award of contract would be expected to be
presented to the City Council at the September 8 or September 21, 2009 meeting. After contracts
are signed and all administrative work is finalized (bonding, insurance, etc.), construction would be
anticipated to commence October 1 or shortly thereafter.
It should also be mentioned that the additional right of way needed for construction has been
secured through the condemnation process. Authorizations for compensation to respective property
owners will be presented to Council in coming months as settlements and agreements are attained.
Construction Schedule:
The following staging plan has been developed for the project:
Stage 1 - Highway 7 mainline traffic will be shifted to the north side of the corridor to allow for
work on the south side of the highway corridor to proceed. Access to and from Highway 7 from
Wooddale (on the south side) will be closed. During this time, an extensive amount of utility
relocation (including the MCES forcemain) will be occurring. Relocation of the south frontage road
will also take place during this stage, along with construction of the south exit and entrance ramps
and abutments for the new Wooddale Ave. Bridge that will extend over Highway 7. Access to and
from Highway 7 from Wooddale on the north side will be limited to a right-in and right-out
movement. Stage 1 is expected to last through the spring of 2010. The contractor’s work plan and
the weather will determine how much, if any, work can be accomplished over the winter season.
Meeting of August 3, 2009 (Item No. 8a) Page 5
Subject: TH 7 & Wooddale Avenue Interchange Project Approvals – Project No. 2004-1700
Stage 2 - Highway 7 mainline traffic will be shifted to the south side of the corridor to allow for
work on the north side of the highway corridor to proceed. Access to and from Highway 7 from
Wooddale (on the north side) will be closed. During this time, construction of the north exit and
entrance ramps and abutments for the new Wooddale Bridge that will extend over Highway 7 will
be completed. Access to and from Highway 7 from Wooddale on the south will be limited to right-
in and right-out movements. Completing Stage 2 will be the setting of the bridge beams and
completion of the bridge itself. Completion of Stage 2 and the opening of full interchange access is
expected to be completed in the fall of 2010.
Stage 3 – Center median work, completion of stormwater detention areas, and miscellaneous
restoration work will occur during the remainder of the 2010 construction season. Final restoration,
including turf restoration and plantings will be completed by June of 2011.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The following cost and funding scenario was previously provided to Council. It is likely that figures
will be updated and adjusted accordingly upon opening of bids and further right of way acquisition
settlements.
Expenditures
Construction (without noise walls) $12,300,000
Right of Way $4,500,000
Preliminary Engineering/Admin $1,300,000
Construction Engineering/Admin $900,000
Total $19,000,000
Funding Sources
Federal (STIP) Funds $5,885,000
Local – ROW and Engineering* $8,750,000
Mn/DOT – Const. Eng/Admin $900,000
ARRA Funding (Stimulus)** $3,465,000
Total $19,000,000
*The estimated local funding amount of $8,750,000 consists of $2,000,000 from Hennepin County
(requested and currently pending approval) and $6,750,000 from the City of St. Louis Park.
**On April 21, the Metropolitan Council approved the allocation of stimulus money for this project
- $2,507,500 in State ARRA funds and $957,500 in Met Council ARRA funds.
The total costs (construction, R/W, and engineering) of the MCES forcemain project are estimated
to be less than $5,000,000. None of those costs have been included in the amounts listed above as
they will all be paid for by MCES per the terms of the Cooperative Agreement described above.
