EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Revised Redevelopment Proposal for The Elmwood
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff wishes to review and receive feedback on 36th Street LLC’s
Request for a Major Amendment to PUD 8 and new Redevelopment Contract in connection with
a revised redevelopment proposal for The Elmwood.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council/EDA support 36th Street LLC’s request
to reduce the size of the recently approved Elmwood project from 6 stories and 85 units to 5 stories
and 70 units, retaining the same number of affordable units; and does the City Council/EDA
support entering into a redevelopment contract to reimburse the Developer with tax increment for
qualified site preparation costs up to $950,000 to enable the project to become financially feasible?
SUMMARY: On March 20, 2017, 36th Street LLC (“Developer”) received zoning approvals to
construct a 6-story, 85-unit mixed-use redevelopment (“The Elmwood”) to be located at 5605 W
36th Street. The project would serve residents aged 55+ and would include 20% (17) affordable
units to households earning 60% of area median income (AMI), or below. On May 15, 2017, the
EDA approved a Redevelopment Contract which outlined the provision of tax increment financing
for the project. The Developer subsequently worked with architects, engineers and builders to
finalize the project’s construction requirements and cost estimates. The project’s final construction
cost estimates came back significantly higher than originally anticipated making the project
financially infeasible despite the approved tax increment assistance. As a result, the Developer
submitted summary cost information for several development scenarios, including the cost of the
approved project and value engineering cost cutting strategies. Based on this information, staff
confirmed that the final construction estimates on a per unit basis were indeed extraordinarily high
and that the Developer should seek a reduced development plan for the site. Therefore, the
Developer is requesting to submit a revised development proposal for a 5-story building with 70
units. Such a request will require a major amendment to PUD 8 and a new Contract for Private
Redevelopment.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Despite the removal of one story from the
building and one level of underground parking, the extraordinary costs associated with
redeveloping the site did not change appreciably. The project’s revised financial pro forma
continues to exhibit over $3.2 million in qualified costs making it financially infeasible. To offset
a sufficient portion of these costs, but retain the same number of affordable housing units as
previously approved, it is proposed that the EDA reimburse the Developer up to $950,000 through
pay-as-you -go tax increment generated by the project - the same amount as previously approved.
Given the project’s reduced taxable market value, it will require 7.5 years , or approximately 1½
additional years, to generate the proposed amount of assistance.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

Special Study Session Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Title: Revised Redevelopment Proposal for The Elmwood
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On May 15, 2017, the EDA approved a Contract for Private Redevelopment
with 36th Street LLC (“Developer”) which outlined the provision of tax increment financing for
The Elmwood project. The project included 85 apartments restricted to residents aged 55+, of
which 17 (20%) would be affordable to households earning 60% of area median income or less,
ground floor commercial space, and underground structured parking. The TIF approval provided
for up to $950,000 of reimbursement of qualified redevelopment costs from tax increment
generated by the project over a maximum term of six years.
The project’s final construction cost estimates came back significantly higher than originally
anticipated, adding nearly $9.6 million more to the project, equaling approximately $643,000 for
each of the additional 15 units. Given the significant increase in costs, the Developer subsequently
submitted a request to reduce the overall size of the project from 85 units to 70 units, yet
maintaining the original 17 affordable units. The EDA’s financial advisor, Ehlers, reviewed the
revised project pro forma and determined it is financially feasible to maintain the 17 affordable
units provided the project receives the originally approved $950,000 of TIF assistance. That level
of assistance overcomes enough extraordinary project costs to allow the project to achieve a rate
of return sufficient to attract private capital and provide 17 affordable apartments.
The market rate unit rents were unchanged from the previous review, and the operating costs were
slightly reduced. The rent terms for the commercial space also remained unchanged. As required
under the City’s Inclusionary Housing Policy, the affordable units will be proportionally
distributed amongst the one and two bedroom units throughout the building. The affordable units
will be affordable to households at 60% AMI, or below, after accounting for resident paid utilities.
As shown in the chart below, without the TIF assistance, the projected cash-on-cash return on the
revised project would be 3.7% which is below market standards. Multi-family projects must
typically generate between 8% and 10% returns to raise private equity and secure debt financing.
The revised building scenario is projected to generate an 8.4% return with the $950,000 of TIF
assistance, which is a nominal reduction from the projected 8.5% return in the previous scenario.
Therefore, but/for the TIF assistance, the proposed project would not be reasonably expected to
occur.

Title: Revised Redevelopment Proposal for The Elmwood
Property Value and Taxes
The total taxable market value of the current property is approximately $1.1 million. The total
taxable market value of the 70 unit project is estimated at $13.4 million – a reduction of
approximately $2.8 million from the original proposal thus decreasing the amount of TIF revenue
the project generates each year. Due to the decrease in projected annual TIF revenue, it will take
an additional 1.5 years (total 7.5 years) to generate the required TIF assistance for the project. The
current and projected property values are as follows:
Upon termination of the TIF District, the City’s portion of the property taxes as shown above, is
projected to increase from $6,855 to an estimated $80,107 for the 70-unit project.
As before, the proposed TIF assistance would be provided in the form of a “pay-as-you-go” TIF
Note and only derive from increment generated by the project itself. The TIF District would
terminate at the end of 7.5 years and the assistance would be provided only after the project’s
qualified extraordinary costs were submitted and verified. The Note would bear interest at 5%,
which is the Developer’s proposed bank financing rate for the project. As with most of the City’s
redevelopment contracts, the Developer will be required to execute a Minimum Assessment
Agreement for the value utilized for projecting the amount of TIF assistance available.
Next Steps: On July 19, 2017 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended
approval of a major amendment to PUD 8 for The Elmwood. Provided the City Council is willing
to consider the Developer’s revised redevelopment proposal, the City Council will review and hold
the first reading of an ordinance on August 21, 2017 and a second reading of the ordinance on
September 5, 2017. Given that the Contract for Private Redevelopment, previously approved by
the EDA was not executed, it is proposed that the EDA consider entering into a new Contract
reflecting the revised redevelopment proposal on August 21st or September 5th.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Kids in the Park Rent Assistance Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff desires to provide an overview of a proposed shallow rent
subsidy program to assist low income households with children attending school in St. Louis Park.
Staff is seeking direction from council regarding council’s interest in moving forward with
implementation of the program.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the council support the implementation of a shallow rent
subsidy program that would provide rental assistance to low-income households living in St. Louis
Park that have children attending school in St. Louis Park or in their attendance school area?
SUMMARY: Housing instability keeps students from attending school consistently and
diminishes their likelihood of achieving key measures like reading proficiency, a predictor of
future success. To develop their full potential, children need safe and stable housing. To address
this issue, staff is proposing implementation of a shallow rent subsidy program to assist low-
income St. Louis Park rental households who have children attending school in St. Louis Park or
their assigned attendance school, to remain in their current housing. The “Kids in the Park Rent
Assistance Program” will provide rent assistance to households for up to 48 months. The
participants will receive a flat monthly rental assistance that decreases annually over the four year
period. Eligible households must have one parent that works a minimum of 28 hours a week, must
reside in rental housing located in St. Louis Park, and be lease compliant. Disabled and elderly
head of households are exempt from the employment requirement.
The program has been developed in partnership with the St. Louis Park Emergency Program
(STEP) and the St. Louis Park School District, and is based on a similar program successfully
administered in Richfield. In addition to the rent subsidy, STEP staff will meet with each
household to assess their economic and social needs, establish a plan to address needs, provide
referrals, and offer case management, as needed. Participant households will also be required to
attend parent-teacher conferences and take an active role in their children’s educational progress.
The Housing Authority will administer the program. It is anticipated that approximately 7
households will be served in the first year, with additional households being added in future years.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Funding for the program will be provided
through the Housing Rehab Fund, and will require an annual budget allocation. $60,000 has been
included in the 2017 budget, and an additional $65,000 is proposed in the 2018 budget to provide
for the rental assistance and administrative costs.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and
diverse housing stock.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Elmwood Neighborhood Temporary Traffic Control
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action required at this time. Staff is informing Council about
an upcoming temporary traffic control demonstration project in the Elmwood neighborhood.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Should the city integrate traffic management measures into its
Pavement Management Projects?
SUMMARY: The city is scheduled to be in the Elmwood, Brooklawns, and Brookside
neighborhoods in 2018 to reconstruct various segments of streets, replace and repair utilities and
sidewalks. These construction activities are part of the annual Pavement Management Project. The
City of St. Louis Park is committed to building a complete and integrated public right-of-way that
has a positive impact on the livability of our neighborhoods.
Traffic is an important element of neighborhood livability. There is an opportunity as a part of
this project to implement modifications to the roads to influence traffic behavior.
Prior to starting design or public process for the Pavement Management Project, staff met with the
Elmwood neighborhood in February 2017 to gain insight on the current traffic patterns, access to
and from the neighborhood, walking and biking, parking and any other concerns related to moving
through the neighborhood.
After compiling the input from the February meeting and completing an initial traffic study, staff
developed a temporary traffic implementation plan that was shared with the neighborhood at an
open house on July 12.
The temporary traffic control demonstration project will be installed in late August and will be
removed in early November, 2017. This is a demonstration project that is intended to illustrate
potential permanent modifications for the 2018 Pavement Management Project. These temporary
measures will be installed and monitored to see how physical changes to the roadways change
traffic behavior in the neighborhood.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for 2018. The Pavement Management Fund will be used to fund the
demonstration project and subsequent street rehabilitation in 2018. The estimated cost of this
demonstration project is $15,000.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Title: Elmwood Neighborhood Temporary Traffic Control
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The Elmwood neighborhood is scheduled for street reconstruction in 2018 as
part of the city’s ongoing Pavement Management Program. When the city’s engineering
department starts the process of evaluating an area for pavement management, it takes into account
not only street condition but also conditions of watermain, sewer, storm sewer, and sidewalks.
Performing all the needed improvements within the right-of-way is cost effective, efficient, and
limits disruption to the neighborhood.
Staff began the public engagement process for the Elmwood Neighborhood by holding a meeting
on February 2, 2017 to gather input related to the current traffic patterns, access to and from the
neighborhood, walking and biking, parking and any other concerns related to moving through the
neighborhood.
That input informed our data collection. Traffic volumes and speeds were counted on over 50
roadway segments within the neighborhood. The collected data was used to complete a traffic
study which explored topics brought up by the neighborhood, such as speed, trucks, vehicle
volumes, safety, and routing.
After compiling the input from the February meeting and completing an initial traffic study, staff
developed a temporary traffic implementation plan that was presenting to the neighborhood at an
open house on July 12.
NEXT STEPS: The temporary traffic control measures will be in place from mid - August to early
November. During this time the traffic in the neighborhood will be monitored and additional
vehicle counts will take place to assess the effectiveness of the traffic control measures. These
temporary traffic control measures are made up of traffic control signage, barrels and other various
delineators that can easily be modified as necessary over the two month test period.
The locations and type of temporary traffic control can be found in the list below and on the
attached exhibit.
•Oxford St. between Zarthan Ave. and Wooddale Ave. – this segment of roadway will
be converted to a two-way roadway with an all-way stop at the intersection of Oxford St
and Zarthan Ave.
•Private road east of Aldersgate United Methodist Church – close off this road with
roadway barriers
•Intersection of 36th St. and Alabama Ave. – this intersection will get curb extensions to
minimize pedestrian crossing distances.
•Intersection of 37th St. and Brunswick Ave. – this intersection will get curb extensions
to direct truck traffic to use 37th Street to access Alabama Ave.
•Intersection of Oxford St. and Brunswick Ave. – small traffic circle to slow driver
speeds and deter traffic from using Brunswick Ave. instead of Alabama Ave. to access
Cambridge St.
•Intersection of Goodrich St. and Brunswick Ave. – small traffic circle to slow driver
speeds and deter traffic from using Brunswick Ave. instead of Alabama Ave. to access
Cambridge St.
•Intersection of Cambridge St. and Brunswick Ave. – this intersection will get a center
median to deter trucks from traveling on eastbound Cambridge St. to make a left turn on
Brunswick Ave.

EVALUATION: Traffic data will be collected during the demonstration project to understand the
performance of the various temporary traffic control modifications. The temporary controls will
be removed in late fall ahead of winter weather. The data collected will be used to help inform the
final design. No decisions on permanent modifications in the neighborhood will be made without
more neighborhood input and council approval. The assessment will be shared at later meetings.
Pavement Management Project (Sidewalks / Street reconstruction / Utility reconstruction)
In addition to comments on traffic, staff also received many comments about alleys, bikeways,
sidewalks, street construction, and utilities. Staff is still working on data collection for the
Pavement Management Project, and does not have additional information regarding these
comments. There will be meetings in late fall and early winter to provide information on the
project and gather resident feedback. Please see the timeline and schedule below for additional
information.

17-18
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report and request for an Early Start Agreement between the
PLACE E-Generation One, LLC and the Economic Development Authority (EDA). He
stated that PLACE has approved plans for a major mixed-use development called Via at
the Southeast quadrant of Hwy 7 and Wooddale. He further stated that PLACE has
requested permission to commence site preparation activities prior to property closing with
the EDA. Under the proposed agreement, PLACE would be allowed to initiate the site
preparations, including building demolitions, soil correction, utility disconnects, and
installation of new utilities. Mr. Hunt stated that preparation activities would begin after
July 28, 2017. He noted that the proposed work would be initiated at no cost to the city,
and site improvements would not be allowed to commence until after the property closing
with the EDA has been completed
Mr. Hunt stated that the proposed agreement requires that PLACE will provide a Letter of
Credit to the EDA, as well as evidence of insurance coverage and liability protection for
the City for work to be completed on the site. He added that the new agreement includes
approval for all early start activities on site, which will enhance the develop ability of the
site. Mr. Hunt stated City staff recommends approval of the Early Start Agreement as
presented.
Commissioner Sanger requested assurance that residents of the CityScape Apartments will
have full continued roadway access during construction. Mr. Hunt confirmed that access
from the frontage road will be maintained. Commissioner Sanger also requested
confirmation that the City of St. Louis Park will not be responsible for any costs associated
with the Early Start Agreement, regardless of whether construction is started. Mr. Hunt
stated the developer is responsible for any costs associated with the Early Start Agreement.
He added that the grant funds that the EDA obtained from Hennepin County related to this
project could be used to finish any remaining work.
It was moved by Commissioner Lindberg, seconded by Commissioner Miller, to waive the
reading and adopt EDA Resolution No. 17-18 Approving the Early Start Agreement
between the EDA and PLACE E-Generation One, LLC.
The motion passed 5-0 (Commissioners Brausen and Spano absent).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Westwood Hills Nature Center Junior Naturalists Recognition
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The Mayor is asked to thank the Junior Naturalists for their
service this summer, and introduce Westwood Hills Nature Center Activity Specialist Will Huyck,
who will provide background and current information on the summer program. (Becky
McConnell, Naturalist, will be the staff person attending.) The Mayor is then asked to recognize
each of the Junior Naturalists.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: There are 60 youth volunteers involved in the Junior Naturalist program. By the end
of summer, they will have volunteered over 1,600 hours. Several of these volunteers have been
involved for seven years, and the program has been part of Westwood Hills Nature Center for 26
years. Junior Naturalists are students entering 7th grade through incoming college freshmen who
are interested in serving their community while gaining knowledge and experience in the outdoors.
There are five areas that they can be involved in:
Animal Care: Junior Naturalists feed, care for, handle, and educate the public about
Westwood’s display and programming animals.
Program Aide: Junior Naturalists assist staff members with supervising and running
Westwood’s various summer camps and children’s programs.
Wild Hikes: Junior Naturalists hike Westwood’s trails, identify various organisms, and
learn alongside a staff Naturalist. They then apply their knowledge to other project areas.
Behind the Scenes: Junior Naturalists maintain Westwood’s birdfeeders, participate in a
citizen science project and complete various small projects around the center.
Water Garden: Junior Naturalists maintain and monitor Westwood’s water garden for
public use.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
JUNE 26, 2017
1. Call to Order
Mayor Spano called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Susan Sanger.
Councilmembers absent: None.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), City Attorney (Mr. Knetsch), Inspections Manager
(Mr. Hoffman), Inspections Services Manager (Ms. Boettcher), Deputy City Manager/Human
Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Communications Manager (Ms. Larson), and Recording Secretary
(Ms. Pappas).
Guests: #T21 MN Group members, Police Lt. Bryan Kruelle, and Ruth Tripp from Hennepin
County Public Health.
1. Roll Call
2. Consent Items
2a. Bid Tabulation: Award Bid for 37th Street Bridge Replacement (4017-1700)
The staff report noted that due to the condition and design, replacement of this bridge is
necessary. Due to factors relating to access for construction and flood plain mitigation, the
cost of the project has increased from what was originally estimated. Six bids were
received. In order to secure the federal funds and Local Bridge Replacement Program
Funds, staff recommends awarding the project to the low bidder, C.S. McCrossan.
Councilmember Brausen asked if any of the ten disadvantaged enterprises that were
identified as subcontractors were involved with the low bidder. Mr. Harmening stated he
did not know the answer to this or if any of the disadvantaged enterprises were successful.
Councilmember Brausen stated that in the future, the council is interested in pursuing
minority employment contracts. This dovetails with the city’s racial equity work. He added
that he hopes the city will be increasing their commitment to provide opportunities for
disadvantaged contractors.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
approve the Agenda and items listed on the Consent Calendar.
The motion passed 7-0.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Special City Council Meeting Minutes of June 26, 2017
3. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
Mr. Hoffman noted the staff report and explained that raising the minimum age to purchase
tobacco products from 18 to 21 is intended to limit availability of tobacco products and
help reduce the number of youth who begin using tobacco. According to the Centers for
Disease Control Youth and Tobacco Use fact sheet, nearly 9 out of 10 tobacco smokers
started smoking by age 18. The proposed Ordinance amends City Code Chapter 12,
Business Licensing, by changing the minimum age for tobacco product sales to 21;
repealing sections that contain language defaulting tobacco possession and use to the
minimum legal age for Minnesota; and increasing the fines to license holders for violations.
The ordinance is proposed to go into effect Oct 1, 2017.
Mayor Spano thanked the public for attending the special meeting of the city council,
stating that while this is not a public hearing, the council will listen to residents wanting to
express their opinion on this issue. He requested that they keep each of their comments to
3 minutes.
Steve Rush, 4567 American Blvd. W., Bloomington, stated he is the Director of
Government Relations for Holiday Companies, which has been doing business with two
retail stores in St. Louis Park for 36 years. He stated that Holiday requires minors to provide
identification for purchases; has an excellent record of denying cigarettes to underage
minors; and has never failed a compliance test.
Mr. Rush added that the ordinance being considered by the city should rather be a state
statute. Without a state statute, underage minors will merely be able to drive to an adjacent
city to purchase cigarettes. He stated that Holiday is concerned about losing ancillary sales
with this ordinance and also that their employees, who have been previously trained for
sales to 18 year olds, may make mistakes. They will need to make costly changes to their
store computers, which are set to only allow sales to customers 18 years of age or older.
He added this is a state issue and not a city issue.
Thomas Bryant, Eden Prairie, spoke on behalf of the National Association of Tobacco
Outlets. He stated this ordinance is only for the underage purchase of tobacco items, and
with the absence of use and possession pieces, it undermines the ordinance. He added that
86% of youth rely on social sources to obtain tobacco products, including older siblings or
friends. Without prohibition, the problem will not be solved. He added that the ordinance
also criminalizes adults if they give tobacco to an 18-year-old adult, and the inconsistency
penalizes retailers if they sell to an adult. He again stated that social sources are the real
problem and not retailers.
Matt Flory, 3244 Edgewood Avenue, stated he is the incoming President-Elect for the MN
Public Health Association, and he does support the ordinance raising the age to 21. He
noted that he lives three doors away from St. Louis Park High School. The 18-year-olds
smoke in front of his house as they get off the school bus and in front of his children. He
noted the studies that point to the fact that if kids don’t smoke before age 21, they typically
will not start. He added that St. Louis Park can be a leader in the fight against tobacco and
encouraged the council to approve the ordinance.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Special City Council Meeting Minutes of June 26, 2017
Cailey Hansen-Mahoney, 6810 W. 26th Street, stated she is a student at St. Louis Park High
School, who is very active in sports and academics. She strongly supports raising the age
to 21 for tobacco sales and noted how she sees her peers leaving class to go smoke or vape.
She encouraged the council to support the ordinance and thanked them for their
consideration.
Jay Jaffee, 2521 Princeton Court, stated he retired from the MN Dept of Health 4 years
ago, after 35 years in substance use prevention. He noted how smoking has decreased
slowly over the years since the 1960’s when nearly half of the population smoked. He said
that this has been a huge public health accomplishment, but more is needed. He encouraged
the council to support the ordinance.
Kaila Narum, 2230 Ridge Drive, stated she is a volunteer for the American Cancer Society.
Her father battled esophageal cancer and died when she was 14 years old. She asked the
council to help honor her father’s legacy by supporting this ordinance.
Rachel Callanan, 2316 Westridge Lane, stated she grew up in St. Louis Park and raised her
kids here, also. She noted that increasing the tobacco age will create an environment where
kids will not smoke. She noted a 2005 study conducted in Needham, MA, where an
ordinance was passed, and smoking was cut in half. She encouraged the council to support
the ordinance and keep kids under 21 from starting to smoke.
Laura Silberfarb, 2617 Natchez Avenue South, and her two daughters, Gabriella and
Rebecca, thanked Councilmember Sanger for introducing this bill. She stated she has been
a long-time supporter of Children First and Health in the Park Activities, along with
Tobacco 21. She stated that adolescent brains are susceptible to suggestion and addictions,
and the tobacco industry knows this. She stated the city can prevent teens from starting to
smoke with this ordinance and encouraged the council to join the City of Edina and start a
movement to put our children first.
Councilmember Sanger thanked all in attendance, noting it is well documented that by
limiting youth access to tobacco products, they are not as likely to start smoking. She added
it is sensible to raise the age on tobacco sales, and the opponents, who argue against this
change, lack credibility. She said that this should not be done on a city-by-city basis and
needs to be a statewide effort but added she does not see this happening soon. She did,
however, note that if cities adopt this ordinance, it will create momentum for other cities
to do so. That is how the indoor smoking ban began several years ago. Councilmember
Sanger noted that retailers who argue they might lose profits if they can’t sell tobacco to
18-year-olds have no credibility with her, as these retailers have no evidence to support
their arguments. She added if these retailers’ profits decrease, they should sell and make a
profit on other items, adding it is shameful that retailers would believe selling tobacco is
okay in order to make a profit. She urged the council to pass the ordinance.
Councilmember Miller stated he also supports the ordinance and looks forward to the
discussion during the study session regarding flavored tobacco. He stated that success with
limiting smoking has happened in incremental changes over the past 50 years. He stated
that he appreciates that staff has been able to engage the business community on this issue,
and while he understands the retail point of view, retailers will have to work around this
business disruption.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Special City Council Meeting Minutes of June 26, 2017
Councilmember Miller stated he would like to amend the ordinance.
It was moved by Councilmember Miller and seconded by Councilmember Sanger to amend
the ordinance to change the first violation for businesses as no suspension; the second
violation as a 1-day suspension of tobacco product sales; the third violation as a 30-day
suspension; and, the fourth violation would be a revocation of the license to sell tobacco
products.
Councilmember Sanger asked if this amendment would be difficult to administer from a
staff perspective. Mr. Hoffman stated that it would not.
Mr. Knetsch added that the city is able to make this change in the ordinance.
Councilmember Mavity asked how many businesses had a 30-day suspension in their
license in the last year in the city. Mr. Hoffman stated none had reached that level.
The motion passed 7-0.
Councilmember Mavity added that she supports the amended ordinance and thanked all in
attendance for their comments. She added she is consistently impressed by residents of St.
Louis Park and appreciates the fact that so many volunteer their time to work to make our
community healthy. Councilmember Mavity stated she met with several of the retailers
who will be affected by this ordinance in order to understand how it will impact local
businesses. She stated that 2% of retailers’ sales are from the 18-21 age range, adding it is
not a great economic impact and that the health of the community is the priority here.
Councilmember Mavity added she agrees with Councilmember Sanger and prefers it would
be a statewide approach, but hopes this will build momentum and have a larger impact in
the region and statewide.
Councilmember Brausen stated that Section 3 of the ordinance related to criminal penalties
seems unduly harsh. He prefers that the violation charge would be a petty misdemeanor.
He added it is not fair to criminally penalize an employee or a business; however, he will
support the ordinance. He added that if the city can impede one person from starting to
smoke, this will be impactful.
Councilmember Lindberg agreed with the comments of the other councilmembers. He
added this is a commonsense solution, and it makes sense considering that St. Louis Park
is a Children First community. He stated that the city needs take action to reflect the
Children First assets and provide a caring community and boundaries. He added that the
best policies come at the local level. He will support the ordinance and thanked all for
coming out and expressing their concerns.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that he will be the only councilmember against this
ordinance. He stated that since it was initiated by Councilmember Sanger, he knows it is
coming from a good place. Councilmember Hallfin stated that he thinks this change in the
ordinance is misguided. He said that he is a military veteran, and this ordinance states adults
who are 18 and old enough to serve their country in the military are not old enough to
purchase cigarettes or make that decision for themselves. Councilmember Hallfin added
that the council keeps referring to youth, but they are adults and have the freedom to make
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Special City Council Meeting Minutes of June 26, 2017
their own decisions. He added that many of these 18-year-olds left St. Louis Park High
School and went to fight in a war. They came back to St. Louis Park in uniform and were
able to buy a pack of cigarettes. He asked if the city says, “You are not old enough to buy
cigarettes, but you were old enough to take a bullet for your country.” Councilmember
Hallfin added he abhors cigarette products, but we also know that over the years,
prohibition has not worked. Councilmember Hallfin continued that he is in favor of
banning flavored tobacco but not in favor of prohibiting sales for 18- to 20-year-olds,
adding he thinks the council is misguided on this issue.
Mayor Spano stated he will support this ordinance. The county does not have legal
authority to ban cigarette sales. More authority is given to cities on this. He added there are
times when cities lead and times when states lead. Mayor Spano added he understands
Councilmember Hallfin’s comments about the military but noted that up until a person is
21 to 23-years-old, their brains are very impressionable. He stated it seems unfair that the
tobacco industry can have a marketing budget of $4 million directed at impressionable
youth. He noted that nicotine is profoundly addictive, adding that this is a public health
issue, and we need to support our kids by passing this ordinance.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve
the first reading of an ordinance raising the legal age to purchase tobacco and tobacco
products in St. Louis Park from 18 to 21 years old, increasing Administration Fines, and
setting second reading for July 17, 2017.
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Hallfin opposed).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Approve Contract for MSA Rehab – Louisiana Ave Bridge / Road Reconstruction -
Project No. 4018-1700
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize execution of a professional services contract
with Kimley Horn in the amount of $242,372.50 for the Municipal State Aid (MSA) Rehabilitation
Project - Louisiana Avenue (500 feet north of Oxford Street to Excelsior Boulevard) Project No.
4018-1700.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue to implement the city’s
Pavement Management Program?
SUMMARY: In 2019, Louisiana Avenue between 500 feet north of Oxford Street and Excelsior
Boulevard is proposed to be rehabilitated. An inspection of the bridge over Minnehaha Creek in
2017 indicated a need to replace the bridge by 2019. This street is an important north / south route
in the City and is designated as a Municipal State Aid (MSA) road which makes it eligible for state
funding (gas tax dollars). Given work load and technical demands, (bridge and signals) consultant
assistance is needed for the preliminary study and design of the proposed rehabilitation project. A
request for proposal (RFP) for was sent to three consultants who are qualified to complete this
project. This contract will cover preliminary design. If the project is approved for construction,
we will need to enter into additional contracts for final design and construction administration.
One proposal was received for this project. A summary is shown below:
CONSULTANT AMOUNT
Kimley Horn $242,372.50
Due to existing work load, two of the consultants chose not to submit a bid. Both consultants were
not able to meet the project deadlines since they already have work under contract. The proposal
provided by Kimley Horn was very thorough and showed that they had a clear understanding of
the project. Kimley Horn designed Texas Avenue and is currently working on construction
administration of Texas Avenue. This consultant has completed quality work for the City. Staff
has reviewed the cost provided by Kimley Horn and believes it is consistent with prior proposals.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for 2018. Funding will be provided by a combination of Municipal
State Aid, Pavement Management, State of Minnesota Bridge Bonding, Utility, and General
Obligation Bonds (Connect the Park sidewalk).
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Title: Approve Contract for MSA Rehab – Louisiana Ave Bridge / Road Reconstruction - Project No. 4018-1700
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: In 2019, Louisiana Avenue between 500 feet north of Oxford Street and
Excelsior Boulevard is scheduled for rehabilitation. An inspection of the bridge over Minnehaha
Creek in 2017 indicated a need for replacement by 2019. With a traffic volume of 9800 ADT, this
road serves many residents and businesses and is an important north / south route. This road is a
Municipal State Aid (MSA) road which is eligible for state gas tax dollars to pay for rehabilitation
projects. In order to qualify for funding, the road needs to be constructed to state aid standards.
Staff will work closely with Park Nicollet and Southwest LRT Project Office to coordinate
construction schedules and access. The following is a summary of this project.
Public Process
Engineering will host a public meeting this summer to gather feedback prior to starting the
preliminary design. Another public meeting will be scheduled this fall to provide the public with
information about the proposed design. Later this year, the city council will be asked to hold a
public hearing where they will be asked to approve the preliminary project layout. At the public
hearing, engineering staff will present the recommended design along with public input received
from the neighborhood meetings.
Proposed Schedule
The following is the proposed project schedule:
1. Survey work complete September 2017
2. Corridor study / concept plan development November 2017
3. 60 percent plans March 2018
4. Final plans June 2018
5.Easement acquisition complete July 2018
6.Private utility work August 2018
7. Construction June – Nov 2019
Staff is planning on having a complete set of plans by June 2018. The main reason for designing
the project early is so we can have a better chance of receiving MnDOT bridge bonding funds.
MnDOT requires that a project have final plans before it can be eligible for bridge bonding. Bridge
bonding funds do not need to be paid back by the City. The other reason for the early design is to
allow the private utilities time to relocate prior to the start of construction.
Louisiana Avenue Design
A corridor study is included with this contract and will help guide the City to the final design of
Louisiana Avenue. The intersections of Oxford Street, Louisiana Court, and Excelsior Boulevard
will all be reviewed to determine the appropriate traffic control for the intersections. Using the
existing traffic data, forecasting future volumes and using input from residents, the consultant will
recommend a typical street section for approval by City Council.
Connect the Park
The Connect the Park Bikeway, Sidewalk and Trail Plan includes a bikeway on Louisiana Avenue.
In addition, there is a gap in the sidewalk system on the west side of Louisiana between Excelsior
Blvd. and the bridge over Minnehaha Creek. These facilities will be included in the design of this
project.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: Approve Contract for MSA Rehab – Louisiana Ave Bridge / Road Reconstruction - Project No. 4018-1700
Bridge Reconstruction
The new bridge will need to be built per Department of Natural Resource requirements to allow
recreation on Minnehaha Creek. Also, there are two existing trails along Minnehaha Creek which
connect up at Louisiana Avenue. Currently the crossing is at grade or across Louisiana Avenue.
In collaboration with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, staff has asked the consultant to
develop a plan to raise the bridge to allow for pedestrians to cross under Louisiana Avenue and
stay on the trail system. The consultant will be looking at this option with this proposal to see if
this is feasible.
Bridge reconstruction work cannot start until after fish have completed spawning in the creek. As
a result, the earliest bridge work could start would be June 15, 2019.
Public Utility Construction
As a part of our street rehabilitation projects, we evaluate the condition of the existing sanitary
sewer, storm sewer, and watermain. Operations staff will complete this evaluation this summer.
Engineering will coordinate with Operations to ensure that any utilities in need of replacement are
fixed with this project.
Private Utility Construction
At this time we are unsure of the private utility needs in the corridor. As the plans are developed
the consultant will be able to determine if any private utilities need to be relocated as a result of
our construction project. In addition, we will reach out to providers to determine if they have
replacement needs that could be scheduled as a part of the project. Since the plans will be complete
in June of 2018, it allows the private utilities time to do their work prior to the project beginning
in 2019.
Proposal Evaluation
A request for proposal (RFP) was sent to three consulting firms with experience designing bridges
and are qualified to complete this project. Due to workload, two of the firms chose not to submit
a proposal. Both consultants were not able to meet the project deadlines due to the amount of work
they already have under contract. The other consultants which received RFPs included HDR Inc.
and TKDA.
Staff reviewed the proposal submitted by Kimley Horn. The proposal provided by Kimley Horn
was very thorough and showed that they had a clear understanding of the project. Kimley Horn
designed the Texas Avenue Project and is currently working on construction administration of
Texas Avenue. This consultant has completed quality work for the City. The consultant contract
covers all preliminary aspects of the project up to final plans. Another contract will be needed to
complete the final plans and construction administration. The table below summarizes the costs
of this contract. Staff has reviewed the cost provided by Kimley Horn and believes it is consistent
with prior proposals and reasonable given the work required.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Designation of PCs for People for Recycling and Re-use of Outdated City Computer
Equipment
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution supporting the designation of PCs
for People for recycling and re-use of outdated computer equipment from the City of St. Louis
Park.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council wish to participate in this program that advances
both environmental stewardship and racial equity?
SUMMARY: It is the city’s practice to recycle outdated city computer equipment with an
approved outside vendor. PCs for People, a nonprofit organization, has approached the city with
its program to recycle electronic equipment, sanitize media and redistribute computers to low-
income families across the Upper Midwest, including in St. Louis Park. PCs for People accepts all
electronic recycling, including computers, laptops, accessories, printers, switches and other
devices. They are certified for data sanitization and guarantee all data is wiped from every device.
PCs for People has distributed refurbished computer equipment to more than 250 St. Louis Park
residents. While the city cannot designate that its own outdated city computer equipment is
distributed specifically to St. Louis Park residents, contributing to the pool of available equipment
helps ensure a steady stream of product for those using the services of PCs for People.
PCs for People is committed to helping the environment through computer re-use, as well as
responsible recycling. The majority of computers collected are refurbished; for those that are not
repairable PCs for People has a strict no-landfill policy. All usable parts are pulled and used in the
refurbishing process, and non-functional parts are broken into their natural components and
recycled locally with an independently audited recycling partner.
The designation of PCs for People for recycling and re-use of outdated city computer equipment
is in keeping with the city’s strategic goals of being a connected and engaged community and of
being a leader in environmental stewardship; and also helps support the city’s commitment to
advancing racial equity. PCs for People representatives will be in attendance at the August 23,
2017, Community Link event at the ROC to share information about their program.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This service is provided at no cost to the city.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

OF OUTDATED CITY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
WHEREAS, PCs for People is a nonprofit that refurbishes computers from businesses and
individuals with the mission to provide affordable PCs, internet and repairs for people who have

reuse as well as responsible recycling, with most computers refurbished and 100% of usable parts

WHEREAS, designating PCs for People for the recycling and re-use of outdated computer
equipment that has little or no value to the city is in keeping with the city’s strategic goals of being
a connected and engaged community and of being a leader in environmental stewardship; and also
helps support the city’s commitment to advancing racial equity.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council for the City of St.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License – Church of the Holy Family
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve a Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor
License for Church of the Holy Family at 5900 West Lake Street for their event to be held
September 9, 2017.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does council agree with staff’s recommendation to approve a
Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for Church of the Holy Family during their annual
Parish Fall Festival to be held Saturday, September 9, 2017?
BACKGROUND: The Church of the Holy Family has made application for a Temporary On-
Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for their annual Parish Fall Festival scheduled for September 9,
2017. The event will take place in the Holy Family Academy parking lot, 5925 West Lake Street,
from 12 noon to 10 p.m. and will include food, games, a silent auction, and live music by "Claudia
C and the Wise Guys.” The Knights of Columbus will be managing the sale and service of liquor.
The Church of the Holy Family staff is working with the Police and Fire Departments on public
safety related arrangements for the event.
The Police Department has completed the background investigation on the principals and has
found no reason to deny the temporary license. The applicant has met all requirements for issuance

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Approve Contract Change Order for 2017 Pavement Management Project, City Project
No. 4017-1000
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize approval of change order with C & L
Excavating, Inc. in the amount of $136,386.62 for the 2017 Pavement Management Project, City
Project No. 4017-1000.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Not Applicable
SUMMARY: On April 3, 2017, the City Council awarded the 2017 Pavement Management
Project to C & L Excavating. Work on this project has been progressing on schedule and is
expected to be complete by November 2017.
While the contractor was excavating in the Utica Avenue and Webster Avenue right-of-way,
samples of the subgrade material were tested and found to contain the presence of Polycyclic
Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). The presence of PAHs and BaP in
the subgrade soils was likely the result of past road maintenance practices. Past practice was to
spray a petroleum emulsion on gravel roads to bind the gravel and keep dust down. The majority
of these “oiled” roads in the city were reconstructed in the 1970s and 80s; however, Utica Avenue
was not. In the case of Webster, the city is replacing the watermain, causing us to have to dig
deeper into the subgrade than the initial road reconstruction project would have. It is likely that
the material we encountered is a remnant of old soil that was not removed with that initial
reconstruction.
Soil with contamination like this can be left in place as base material if it is sealed under the paved
street surface. The soil that was excavated on Utica Avenue and Webster Avenue was not suitable
for use as roadway base material and needed to be hauled offsite to a suitable facility. There were
4,289 tons of material hauled from these two streets. A bid item for the hauling and disposal of
contaminated soil was not included in the initial contract. A contract change order is required to
pay the contractor for the work. The work is necessary and feasible.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The awarded contract was for $5,430,986.28.
This change order increases the contract amount by $136,386.62 for a contract total of
$5,567,372.90. Funding for the change order will be provided from Pavement Management and
Water Utility funds.

City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4h) Page 2
Title: Park Nicollet EpicCare Link Access Agreement
EPICCARE LINK SYSTEM ACCESS AGREEMENT
FOR EXTERNAL CARE PROVIDER
THIS AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made effective as of June 28, 2017 (“Effective Date”), by and between HealthPartners, Inc., a Minnesota non-profit corporation, with its principal place of business at 8170 33rd Ave So., Bloomington, MN (“HealthPartners”), and City of St. Louis Park, a Municipal Corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota, with its principal place of business at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (“Provider”) (collectively, the “Parties” or separately, a “Party”).
BACKGROUND A. HealthPartners’ Epic electronic health record system (the “EHR”) is used to create and maintain certain records of HealthPartners health care services and other patient information (the “EHR Records”).
B. The Parties serve patients in the same community, and many patients are patients of both Parties. With the goal of improving the coordination and continuity of care for these shared patients, HealthPartners will make available to Provider limited access to the EHR, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
In consideration of the above and the following mutual covenants, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
Section 1. EHR Access
1.1 Grant and Scope of Access. Subject to the terms of and as limited by this Agreement, HealthPartners hereby grants Provider non-transferable and non-exclusive access to the EHR to permit Authorized Users (as defined in Section 1.6) to electronically access and use the EHR solely for viewing EHR Records necessary for the purposes described in Schedule 1.1. Such purposes are limited to the current treatment of Provider’s patients and related payment and healthcare operations purposes (as those terms are defined in HIPAA, at 45 C.F.R. Pts. 160 – 164), as more specifically described in Schedule 1.1. Access, use or disclosure for any other purposes (including but not limited to research, fundraising, and marketing) are expressly prohibited. The scope of an Authorized User’s access to the EHR is limited to “read only” access (i.e., an Authorized User will be able to view and print, but not modify, EHR Records). Provider will ensure that its Authorized Users do not access the EHR for any purpose or in any manner not specifically authorized by this Agreement.
1.1.1 Revocation of Prior Agreements. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, as of the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces any existing agreements (whether oral or written) related to Provider’s access to, or the terms and conditions of Provider’s access to, the EHR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.1.1 does not apply to EHR access by persons who have such access because they hold clinical privileges as members of the medical staff of a hospital in the HealthPartners system.
1.2 No License Granted. HealthPartners licenses certain software products from Epic to maintain and operate the EHR. The grant of EHR access to Provider under this Agreement is limited by HealthPartners’ underlying licensing agreement with Epic and does not grant and will not be construed as granting to Provider a license for the use of any software products. This Agreement does not transfer to
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4h) Page 3
Title: Park Nicollet EpicCare Link Access Agreement
Provider any title or ownership rights to EHR, EHR Records, or any rights in patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets encompassed in the EHR or any other HealthPartners system, software or data. Provider agrees that it will not and will not attempt to reverse engineer or otherwise obtain copies of the software programs contained in the EHR or other HealthPartners systems.
1.3 EpicCare Link; Manner of Access. HealthPartners, in its sole discretion, will determine the tools it will provide to Provider for Provider to access EHR Records, and will determine what EHR Record data is made available to Provider.
1.4 System Requirements for Access. Provider acknowledges and agrees that any hardware, software, network access or other system components necessary for Provider to access and use the EHR will be procured, installed and maintained by Provider at its sole expense.
1.5 Security Obligations. Provider will implement safeguards that are reasonable and appropriate to prohibit and prevent Authorized Users from accessing, using, or disclosing EHR Records not specifically permitted by this Agreement. Provider will also implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards that protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the EHR Records. HealthPartners assumes no obligation to, but reserves the right to, audit Provider’s security practices relevant to this Agreement. Provider agrees to cooperate with HealthPartners’ conduct of such audits and to promptly address any concerns reasonably identified by HealthPartners.
1.6 Authorized Users. It is the responsibility of Provider to select and qualify one or more persons that Provider wishes to be granted access to the EHR System and to use the EHR System on behalf of Provider (once approved, the “Authorized Users”). Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, Authorized Users are limited to (a) licensed, registered or certified medical and clinical personnel (e.g., MD, RN, LPN, NA, CMA, PA) and (b) administrative personnel. All Authorized Users must be members of the Workforce of Provider. “Workforce,” as used herein, shall have the meaning set forth at 45 C.F.R. 160.103. Provider’s request that an individual be authorized as an Authorized User constitutes Provider’s representation that the individual is (a) a member of Provider’s Workforce (and not a business associate) who (b) needs EHR access to perform assigned job functions for Provider.
1.7 Security Request Process. Provider will designate a Site Administrator. The Site Administrator will submit the requests to add Authorized Users to HealthPartners in writing on a form or by a process provided by HealthPartners. The Authorized Requester must promptly deactivate Authorized Users in the event of any change of circumstances requiring termination of an Authorized User’s EHR access (for example, termination of employment, disqualification as an Authorized User, or change in job function). Furthermore, HealthPartners reserves the right to suspend or terminate the EHR access of any Authorized User at any time for any reason. Site Administrator will ensure that only appropriate persons are granted access to the EHR, will periodically audit the roster of Authorized Users to ensure that the terms of this Agreement are being met, and will promptly respond to all reasonable inquiries from HealthPartners.
1.8 Authentication. Provider and each Authorized User are jointly responsible for keeping and maintaining the security of the passwords or other assigned authentication mechanisms. An Authorized User may not share an assigned password with any other person, or use the assigned password of any other person, whether for one-time access or ongoing access. All Authorized Users will be required to execute a User Agreement.
1.9 Training. HealthPartners will provide one-time training in EHR functionality to Site Administrator (or other person mutually agreed by the Parties) who will then be responsible for training all other Authorized Users. Provider will ensure that, prior to accessing the EHR, each Authorized User is trained, consistent with the HealthPartners training and with this Agreement, regarding Provider’s and
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4h) Page 4
Title: Park Nicollet EpicCare Link Access Agreement
Authorized User’s obligations under this Agreement and applicable laws. Provider will further ensure that ongoing training of Authorized Users is conducted, as needed. HealthPartners reserves the right to require Provider to provide additional training that HealthPartners deems reasonably necessary and appropriate. 1.10 Policies and Procedures. Provider will comply with all applicable provisions of HealthPartners’ Information Services policies governing EHR access and use, including but not limited to policies governing password controls. HealthPartners will provide copies of these Information Services policies to Provider.
1.11 Auditing and Monitoring by Provider. Provider must audit and monitor access to and usage of the EHR to the full extent required to satisfy its legal responsibilities (as a HIPAA covered entity and otherwise), comply with this Agreement, and ensure that Authorized Users access, use, and disclose EHR Records only as authorized by this Agreement. HealthPartners assumes no obligation to audit or monitor Provider behavior with respect to the EHR, but may require Provider to follow a reasonable auditing and/or monitoring protocol if HealthPartners determines that it would be appropriate to address its obligations as a covered entity. In addition, HealthPartners reserves the right to independently monitor and audit Authorized Users’ behavior and usage of the EHR and to immediately suspend an Authorized User’s access to the EHR, if HealthPartners reasonably suspects or believes that Provider or Authorized User has violated the terms of this Agreement or is otherwise the cause of harm or interference with HealthPartners’ rights or property related to the EHR or the rights or property of others related to the EHR. Provider will cooperate with HealthPartners in any additional monitoring or auditing deemed necessary by HealthPartners and conducted by HealthPartners or Provider. Provider will fully and promptly cooperate with HealthPartners in resolving any privacy or security issues identified by such monitoring or auditing. 1.12 Unauthorized Use or Disclosure; Complaints. Provider will immediately notify HealthPartners in writing when it becomes aware of any of the following: (a) any Security Incident (as defined by HIPAA at 45 CFR Pts 160 - 164); (b) any actual or suspected unauthorized access, use or disclosure of EHR Records; or (c) any complaint from a patient or other person involving alleged inappropriate use, access or disclosure of EHR Records or other confidential information of HealthPartners. Each Party will cooperate with each other, as necessary and appropriate, to investigate any complaints, any actual or suspected unauthorized access, use or disclosure of the EHR Records, any Security Incident, or any actual or suspected violation of this Agreement. Provider, in consultation with HealthPartners, will take prompt corrective action at Provider’s own expense to mitigate and cure any harmful effect that is known to Provider of any unauthorized access, use, disclosure of EHR Records or any Security Incident related to the EHR that is caused by or attributable to Provider or Authorized Users. Provider shall reimburse HealthPartners for all reasonable costs incurred by HealthPartners in investigating an unauthorized use or disclosure or a complaint, and all reasonable costs incurred by HealthPartners to provide breach notifications or to mitigate or cure any harmful effects resulting from an unauthorized use or disclosure or a Security Incident. Provider further agrees to reimburse HealthPartners for any and all fines and/or administrative penalties imposed for such unauthorized access, use or disclosure, Security Incident, or for delayed reporting. The provisions of this Section 1.12 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL HEALTHPARTNERS BE LIABLE TO PROVIDER FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS, LOST DATA, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF USE, OR LOST REVENUES) EVEN IF HEALTHPARTNERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND NOT WITHSTANDING THE FORM (E.G., CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) IN WHICH ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE ACTION MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST IT.
2.2 Clinical Practice.

Provider agrees to use the EHR only in accordance with applicable standards of good clinical practice.
2.3 Assumption of Liability. Provider will ensure that Authorized User access to the EHR Records is only for legitimate business purposes and as permitted this Agreement and applicable law. Provider is responsible and liable for each Authorized User fully complying with this Agreement and applicable law. Provider assumes full responsibility and liability for actions or omissions related to the access to and use of the EHR by Provider’s Authorized Users or any other person Provider permits (intentionally or unintentionally) to have access to the EHR, including but not limited to unauthorized access to, use of or disclosure of EHR Records that results from Provider’s or an Authorized User’s failure to keep the assigned passwords secure.
2.4 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party agrees to defend and indemnify the other party, and its officers, employees, and volunteers, from and against all claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including attorney fees, arising out of this Agreement, but only to the extent caused in whole or in part by the indemnifying party’s negligent acts, errors or omissions, or anyone directly or indirectly employed or hired by the indemnifying party, or anyone for whose acts the indemnifying party may be liable.

Provider further represents and warrants that it has in place and will appropriately implement disciplinary measures and sanctions against Authorized Users known to have violated the terms of this Agreement, applicable law or applicable HealthPartners or Provider policies or procedures, or to have taken any action adversely affecting or damaging the EHR, EHR data or any other system or data file of HealthPartners. Provider further represents and warrants that it will at all times during the term of this Agreement have in place a qualified Privacy Officer and Security Officer, as required by HIPAA. Provider will promptly notify HealthPartners of any change to the persons appointed to these positions.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4h) Page 6
Title: Park Nicollet EpicCare Link Access Agreement
2.6 Survival. This Section 2 will survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 3. Confidentiality.
3.1 Confidentiality of Patient Records; Consent. The Parties will protect the confidentiality and security of the EHR Records to the full extent required by applicable law. If HealthPartners determines it to be necessary, the Parties will cooperate to obtain the patient’s consent, which may include, for example, Provider obtaining the patient’s written consent. If Provider represents to HealthPartners that it has obtained a legally valid consent from the patient (or patient’s authorized representative), the Parties agree that HealthPartners may rely on that representation but may also request a copy from Provider.
3.2 Requests for EHR Records. If Provider receives any request for copies of or access to EHR Records from any third party other than a patient, Provider will not provide such copies or access but will promptly direct the requester to HealthPartners. If Provider receives a request for copies of or access to EHR Records from a patient, Provider or Contractor will notify HealthPartners before providing the records to the patient.

6. Reports & Discussion
A. Small cell and distributed antenna systems (DAS) permitting in St. Louis Park
Chief Information Officer Clint Pires gave a verbal report. Wireless cell companies have
typically served customers with macro sites, such as on three water towers in St. Louis Park. The
providers need to penetrate deeper into residential and commercial areas to meet the increasing
demand. Small cells amplify the volume and speed of data delivered to customers. Each carrier
installs its own small cells to serve customers. DAS is more like a tenant system that hosts
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 2
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
several providers in one cabinet. The challenge: not every cell provider needs their capacity
grown or speed amplified in the same areas as others.
Five G wireless technology is coming and will provide the capacity the providers and customers
need. Companies are attempting to use existing structures in the right of way owned by
municipalities, such as traffic lights, street signs, light poles, etc.
City staff has been working on this, and timing is very good because the city has just developed a
master license agreement that will go to the City Council February 13 for adoption on February
21. Then a template will be in place for any provider that comes into town, and the conditions
under which we'd allow equipment to be placed in our right of way. Verizon is the first customer,
wanting locations along Park Place Boulevard from Cedar Lake Road to I-394. City staff expects
the number of applications to grow and we want to be ready. We want the right of way
equipment to be structurally sound and aesthetically acceptable. Aesthetics at West End, for
example, are different than residential areas. The city is intent on retaining local control under
which the conditions can occur.
At state and federal level, telecom providers are attempting to strip control from local
government on how or where these items are placed. Cities feel this is a public right of way and
should be a city decision. At the same time companies coming in should have a level playing
field and have a master template that defines conditions.
Commissioner Browning asked if the state is involved at any level? How do they look at it versus
the city? Mr. Pires said there has been legislation that would pre-empt local control and make
statewide decisions. MACTA and other professional organizations are arguing for keeping local
control.
Commissioner Levine asked what standards would be statewide if the state was granted that
authority? Mr. Pires said it is a work in progress, looking at rents that can be charged and making
it a uniform amount. Another area that has been discussed is looking at ANY public property
such as parks, water towers, etc., not just right of way.
Commissioner Dyer asked if there was cooperation between Verizon and ATT for example, so
they aren't all trying to replace different things, instead of them all hopping on same structure.
Mr. Pires said putting a bunch of antennas on a streetlight won't do much for aesthetics, but we
haven't seen much collaboration between companies, except to limit local control to manage
installations.
Commissioner Browning asked about how macro towers tie into fiber networks to provide
communications for facilities? Do small cells link back up to macro towers and if so how? Mr.
Pires said it's a combination and depends on backhaul needs.
Commissioner Peterson asked if it could happen on private property, and if there are zoning
regulations? Mr. Pires said, yes, we have zoning regulations so there are limits in private areas.
Commissioner Peterson said he's installed Mobilite equipment and it's huge, and can't hang on
poles. Is that what we mean? Mr. Pires said, each company would look at its own small cells, and
perhaps have joint tenancy with one site hosting multiple carriers.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 3
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
Mr. Pires said the city is moving ahead with presenting this concept to the City Council February
13 to have them review master license agreement and individual installation agreements. Verizon
is not getting everything they wanted but is getting what they need. Bloomington and St. Paul
have templates in place, and Edina is working on one.
B. City fiber deployment update with Chief Information Officer Clint Pires
Mr. Pires talked about the status of the City’s fiber network and partnerships. The city has been
involved in fiber installation for 12 years, and the school district started in 1998. The city did the
bulk of its work in 2008 and 2009. The city and school district have collaborated for years now.
The city has more than 50 miles of fiber after the 2016 installations. The cost analysis shows the
payback is within eight years for installing fiber versus paying a provider, plus getting much
better speed and quality. We keep building out the network and building in redundancy.
Mr. Pires said in 2016, fiber was relocated by the Brookview Golf Course, and extended into
Golden Valley and to the Hennepin County Sherriff’s Office. St. Louis Park Library has a fiber
connection now, which was a goal of the city’s fiber study several years ago, provided by
partnering with Hennepin County, who in exchange built some segments of fiber for the city to
use.
Another project with Hennepin County is Southwest Light Rail Transit. The county is putting
fiber under the track then allocating strands to cities through which the line passes.
Mr. Pires said fiber redundancy is a huge issue because reliance on connections to the internet is
increasingly crucial. The city now has two connection to each location like City Hall, MSC,
Police Station, two fire stations, Nature Center, the Rec Center, ROC and to all the main data
centers. Why? Because some contractors aren't as careful as they should be, and we have to keep
internet access if a main line is cut.
Mr. Pires said fiber additions in 2016 were along Utica Avenue and Wayzata Boulevard, along
with the construction on the east side of Utica with residential, hotel and offices. He said fiber or
conduit is installed when the ground is open and it’s cost effective.
The water meter replacement program involved wireless water meters being read by six data
collectors in town. This allows reading all but 50 of the 14,000 installed meters. The fiber
supports this, and gets the data back to City Hall. Wireless and fiber will coexist, and we need
both.
Mr. Pires said that fiber has been extended to the ROC, and wireless access points under the roof
will be able to support 1,000 people connecting at the same time. Fiber was extended to
Louisiana Oaks, Oak Hill and Aquila parks, and when that is done, Wi-Fi for a public amenity is
added as well.
Looking forward to 2017, fiber conduit will be added along Texas Avenue in the reconstruction
from Minnetonka to Hwy. 7, and in the Sorenson neighborhood south of Lake Street, where
about 4.5 miles of street will be replaced. That's really the city’s emphasis—to build capacity and
make it helpful to community generally. Wi-Fi will be added to the Wolfe Park playground area
and Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 4
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
Mr. Pires said that’s 50 miles of fiber or conduit, and increasingly with a benefit to the
community, and who knows, maybe someday fiber to the premise.
Commissioner Browning asked about the cost of fiber or conduit? Mr. Pires said it varies but
generally $10-$15 per foot. Generally two conduits and one fiber are installed to future proof it,
in case we need more capacity later and have to replace a fiber. It’s much cheaper than boring
again later, or opening up the street which leads to potholes and repairs.
Commissioner Browning asked if they install single mode or multi-mode fiber? Mr. Pires said
usually they install conduit, for future use, but that the existing fiber is usually single mode.
Commissioner Levine asked if the city’s intent was to wire to every home eventually, or to leave
that to U.S. Internet and others? Mr. Pires said, it’s a combination, that they expect to lease fiber
to others. Commissioner Levine said that along Inglewood Avenue the street was torn up but no
fiber was installed. Mr. Pires said the city had installed some fiber along Joppa, and that he’d like
to review this with Commissioner Levine to see if it was someone else’s project.
Chair Anderson thanked Mr. Pires for the impressive update.
C. Discuss City Council strategic goal: Researching strategic options
Mr. Pires said that the City Council has the goal of St. Louis Park as a technology connected
community and has asked staff to develop strategies and action plans to achieve this. He
suggested the Commission immerse itself in the study of some of the possibilities and ways to
get there. A natural way to start is to see what others have done, and perhaps have a
subcommittee study this. The goals were put together in 2015, and is meant to get us to 2025, so
it isn’t a one year document. He said he’d love to see the Commission tackle this topic: how do
we use all this fiber, and how does it help us?
Commissioner Levine asked where the charter of the city starts and stops? For example, this is
the Telecommunications Advisory Commission, but it could be the Technology Advisory
Commission. The city can’t try to do it all itself, and shouldn’t, but would we be tasked with
working on an entire problem or opportunity, or just the communications part of it?
Mr. Pires said that this used to be the Cable TV Commission because that’s what was being
reviewed, and that John McHugh suggested the name change to reflect the broader areas of
review.
Commissioner Browning said it needs to be a collaborative effort, that we’re always learning,
and the technology is always evolving, and referenced a survey.
Mr. Pires said it’s a challenge to conduct an accurate survey, it’s different than it used to be. We
know we have to evolve with the times and get ahead of it where we can.
Commissioner Levine suggested a subgroup, and Commissioner Browning volunteered. Mr.
Dunlap said that the Commission now has six members, with another appointee coming in May
or June, and that a subcommittee would probably have an additional meeting in the next few
months and report back at the May meeting.

Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
D. Update on U.S. Internet progress in St. Louis Park
Mr. Pires said the city and U.S. Internet have been in talks for several years to deliver fiber to the
home someday. Many of us believe fiber to the home will happen, that it’s just a matter of time.
What is happening in Minneapolis is noteworthy, and St. Louis Park is a natural because of our
population density of 4,600 per square mile. This has been of interest to the Telecommunications
Advisory Commission for some time, he introduced Travis Carter of U.S. Internet to describe
what they’ve done in Minneapolis and more important, talk about how their plans might
intermingle in St. Louis Park.
Mr. Carter described U.S.I’s background in Minneapolis, going back to the city-wide Wi-Fi
contract in 2008 and installing 2,500 access points. He said they did their best to deliver the
technology and it still works today, but in the post-Netflix world it became apparent there wasn’t
enough capacity on the network to deliver the service we would want to consume. U.S.I.
researched fiber and began to build with the intent that someday they’d wire all of Minneapolis,
and the customer would decide which services would be successful. U.S.I. started with 100
megabit speed seven years ago, and now has passed 56,000 homes in Minneapolis with a 52%
market share in the blocks where they offer service. U.S.I. made the conscious choice to not
provide cable TV service, to focus on internet with low latency, high bandwidth and no caps.
U.S.I. started in the Uptown Area and moved south until they hit Minnehaha Creek. In 2017
U.S.I. plans to work west to Linden Hills, and next to that is St. Louis Park. U.S.I. offices are in
Minnetonka, and we are looking to expand into St. Louis Park. Last year we did a project on
Westmoreland, and this year are looking to connect to the West End and from the other side of
town, Minikahda Vista, and connect those two areas similar to what we’re doing in Minneapolis.
Mr. Carter said that U.S.I. needs some property in St. Louis Park for electronics, so once that
hurdle is past, they can begin to deliver service here. The goal is to connect everyone, but since
this is a privately funded venture, they build to their capacity, slow and steady, and are limited to
the construction season of April 15 to November 15. U.S.I. deploys active Ethernet, so every
home or business gets a dedicated fiber, which allows them to be technology agnostic.
Mr. Carter complemented the City of St. Louis Park for allowing them to leverage the
infrastructure already in place. U.S.I. has 840 units in multiple dwelling units signed up to wire,
including Meadowbrook. Mr. Carter expects to reach 2,500 homes in St. Louis Park this year
and include some single family homes. U.S.I. has a fixed amount of capital for construction and
most of it will go to Minneapolis in 2017, but Mr. Carter looks to increase that in St. Louis Park
in 2018.
Commissioner Browning asked if they used hub and spoke design, and how deep underground
they were? Mr. Carter said yes, and that they were usually 3 to 4 feet deep mainly avoiding gas
lines.
Commissioner Browning asked if there were any issues with fiber cuts?
Mr. Carter said they had two or three per year, usually after the facilities are marked but the area
is being cleared for large construction projects.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 6
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
Commissioner Levine asked how good the GIS systems are, that they work with? Mr. Carter said
that they get the as-builts from each company in the right of way when they get a permit, then
overlay them on one map. Then they go find out what’s really there, because the as-builts aren’t
accurate. They manually dig up the gas main in front of every house and mark on the sidewalk
how deep it is, and calculate where to bore.
Commissioner Levine asked if that information was collected somewhere so the next company
wouldn’t have to do this? Mr. Carter said no. He said they have three or four gas line hits per
year and it brings a real circus, with fire trucks and everything.
Chuck Brolin lives in an apartment building on Oxford, and said that U.S.I. sent a representative
to talk to the residents about their plans last week. He said he was happy to hear that there would
be no cost to residents to install a main box in each building, and then each unit would be
connected to that box. His question was, how can this be done in only 120 days, from the West
End or the Minneapolis border?
Mr. Pires said that the city built excess fiber and capacity in some areas, so the city is leasing
fiber and conduit to U.S.I. They are the second company to take advantage of that capacity. The
City Council has authorized either a price per mile or value trades. U.S.I. has built 1.5 miles of
fiber and traded that to the city to make a needed connection for the School District at 14th and
Colorado. In addition we’re looking at more fiber along Excelsior Boulevard and a fiber
connection to Shelard Park, which has been a goal for some time. Collaboration with U.S.I.
allowed these connections to happen faster than they would have.
Mr. Carter said this is unique to St. Louis Park, to do fiber leasing, and it will enable thousands
of users to come online this year. It helps justify U.S.I. bringing more capital in later this summer
or next year.
Commissioner Browning asked whether they prefer to run fiber or Ethernet to each unit? Mr.
Carter said installing Ethernet jacks is preferred because it’s technology neutral and more
familiar to the customer. But it varies, depending on the building that is being connected. He said
they have 20,000 fiber customers and they get about 12 tech support calls per day, so it’s a very
reliable product. Eleven of those calls are the Wi-Fi connection in the home.
Commissioner Peterson said fiber to the home can’t happen soon enough, for him. His son lives
in Boston in a building that was built before Washington was President, and he has fiber there.
Mr. Carter said that they expected the millennials to be their most popular demographic, but
instead it’s the people in senior high-rises, and the reason is price. U.S.I.’s mantra is to build a
service they would want to buy. There’s no contract, and it’s easy to connect.
Mr. Pires said the Council has pushed for a choice of providers. Another thing U.S.I. has done is
symmetrical speeds for upload and download, which is no small benefit.
Mr. Pires said that he and Mr. Carter would be making a similar presentation to the City Council
at a Study Session next week, and that they would be looking for feedback from the
Telecommunications Advisory Commission on the arrangement with U.S.I. He said that making
St. Louis Park the first fiber-wired suburb would be a great thing for residents.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 7
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
Chair Anderson made the motion to endorse the partnership between U.S. Internet and the city,
including fiber lease agreements, and encourages U.S. Internet to continue to build out to the rest
of the city. Commissioner Browning seconded, and the motion passed 6-0.
E. Park TV marketing, publicity & program report for 2016
Mr. Dunlap said that there are five different ParkTV channels, and over 400 programs were
produced by staff in 2016.
Ms. Larson said that it was gratifying to see staff produce more short videos for social media,
which results in a lot of views. She commended Paul Broden for doing several productions from
Groves Academy, which is a new venue for ParkTV, and Paul and John McHugh for coverage of
the FC Minneapolis soccer league.
F. Review annual report to Council and pick the key points to report to Council
Mr. Dunlap selected three goals for the draft report but these are subject to change based on
Commission input, either in discussion tonight or by following up with email.
He said that the Commission had a good start towards goal number one, with Mr. Pires’
presentation this evening: “Review small cell and distributed antenna systems permitting in St.
Louis Park to ensure St. Louis Park is ready to be in the first wave to benefit from these
technologies.”
Commissioner Levine suggested changing goal number two, to “Bringing the highest speed fiber
networks to city residences and businesses in the short term, and maintain high performance over
the long term.”
Commissioner Browning said that defining high speed, since that varies, would be useful. High
speed five years ago is not fast enough today.
Commissioner Levine suggested changing goal number three to: “Recommend ways to use high
performing fiber and wireless networks, once established, to enhance livability in the city.”
Mr. Dunlap said that was a very good improvement in the goals, and asked if other
Commissioners agreed with that approach. The consensus was to make the changes.
G. Complaint logs
Commissioner Levine said that one thing that stood out was the confusion over the cost of
service, that the taxes and fees that are added onto the bill are not usually talked about but can
add 15% to the total. He said maybe Comcast could do a better job of addressing that up front
with people. Commissioner Dyer agreed, and said it should be more like when other products are
purchased so that only the tax is added, so that the cost is more predictable. Commissioner
Levine said that with telephone offers, the details can get lost so a follow up email would help
customers to understand the details of the offer.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4k) Page 8
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of February 8, 2017
Mr. Dunlap said that there is a lawsuit in California about marketing the package price, but not
including fees like the broadcast TV or sports channel fees, which are $8 in St. Louis Park, and
the HD technology fee, which is $10.
7. Communications from the Chair, Commissioners and City
Mr. Dunlap invited Commissioners to the MACTA Day at the Capitol and the upcoming Council
Study Session. He said it was bittersweet to announce that ParkTV producer Scott Smith was
retiring soon, that this would be his last Commission meeting and that everyone will miss him.
Ms. Larson invited Commissioners to attend the Vision 3.0 upcoming meetings, that the goal is
to reach as far and wide as possible in the community.

3. Public Hearings
A. Platia Place – Preliminary Plat; Preliminary PUD
Location: 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Blvd.
Applicant: SLP Venture Properties
Case Nos: 17-19-S and 17-20-PUD
Jacquelyn Kramer, Associate Planner, presented the staff report. Ms. Kramer stated the
application is being requested to allow construction of two buildings including a six-story
150 unit apartment building and a six-story 111 room limited services hotel. She
presented drawings for the project. She spoke about the mix of façade materials. She said
right now it appears that the materials meet the requirements but staff has asked for more
information to make sure materials are classified correctly.
Ms. Kramer discussed mix of units and parking.
Ms. Kramer presented the hotel drawings.
Ms. Kramer spoke about the landscape plan and requirements. She said the applicant is
short about 100 trees and short several 100 shrubs for the apartment site. She said the
applicant is short on shrubs on the hotel side. There are alternative landscaping
requirements that the applicant can use to enhance the site design.
Ms. Kramer discussed the tree inventory plan. She said it appears the proposal meets tree
replacement requirements but more details are required to determine the application’s
compliance.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4l) Page 2
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2017
Ms. Kramer discussed Designed Outdoor Recreation Area (DORA). More detail is
being requested of the applicant.
Ms. Kramer spoke about the utility easements. She said more details are being requested
of the applicant regarding stormwater management system design and calculations. She
said a conflict exists with the building location and existing water main and existing
sanitary sewer force main that will need to be resolved.
Ms. Kramer reviewed zoning compliance for the project.
Ms. Kramer recapped that staff finds that more information needs to be provided in order
to fully evaluate the application, including the utilities, parking plan, stormwater details,
bicycle parking, landscaping, tree inventory, façade materials mix, labeling of site
dimensions, DORA, garbage collection and recycling.
Commissioner Robertson asked for clarification of allowed residential units and the PUD.
Sean Walther, Planning and Zoning Supervisor, explained that staff has been advised by
the city attorney that density can be spread out over the entire PUD on a PUD with
multiple lots. He said staff experience with mortgage companies, however, is that during
refinancing there are often questions about whether or not it is meeting the city density
requirement. Staff decided to call out Lot 1 density so it is very clear to a mortgage
company that the city did intend for that density to be allowed. Further, the city can allow
an increase density over 50 units per acre with a PUD.
Commissioner Kanne asked if the city has suggested a timeframe for the applicant to
address the outstanding issues.
Mr. Walther responded a specific date hasn’t been set. He spoke about the statutory time
limit for the city to act upon an application, which can be extended or waived. He added
that the issues staff has identified can be resolved in a short amount of time.
Commissioner Person asked for the definition of a limited service hotel.
Ms. Kramer responded that limited service hotel means there isn’t a restaurant on site,
only breakfast is provided, and it is not an extended stay hotel.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison stated she doesn’t have questions until the plan is
complete.
Mr. Walther stated it was hoped that the Commission share any specific direction or
issues with staff and the applicant at this time.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said the planting shortage is of concern to her. She
spoke about the site being an entrance to the city and she’d like to see the plan adjusted to
include more plantings.
Applicant Bill Stoddard, SLP Park Venture Properties, said he welcomed feedback on the
project. He spoke about the market research done for rental units. He said he agrees that
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4l) Page 3
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2017
more trees and shrubs would be appropriate for a gateway property. He said he will be
meeting with city staff very soon to resolve outstanding issues.
Commissioner Robertson stated for a gateway and prominent spot he finds the two
buildings pretty uninspiring and formulaic architecturally. He said he would hope to see
something more unique and substantial on this spot, which he understands is more
expensive. He said it falls short.
Mr. Stoddard says they will keep that in mind as they balance all factors.
Commissioner Tatalovich asked how the applicant approaches the utilities.
Mr. Stoddard responded they’ve been in discussion with the Engineering Dept. about
that. He said with most utilities developers are always installing new and frequently
relocating utilities. He said this situation is a little different because of the forcemain.
Right now he is inclined to leave the footprint of the building as is. Further discussions
will be held later this week.
Chair Peilen opened the public hearing.
Jerry Kern, 1155 Ford Rd., #316, said the lot which is next to his condo building has been
vacant for eight years. He spoke about the difficulty of living next to what has become a
dump site. He said he is extremely happy about the proposal. He said he doesn’t see
anything that should prevent the project from moving forward. He stated he is in full
support of having two beautiful buildings, walkways, trees and landscaping on the site.
Mr. Kern said he is present to support the project 100%.
Jalini Dhalgara, 1155 Ford Rd., #209, said she agrees with Mr. Kern’s points but she is
concerned because there are already three hotels in the area and many other apartment
buildings. She said her building, the Westmarke building, is struggling to sell units
because it is not occupied by as many tenants as it should be for regular mortgage
approval. She is wondering what value would be added or removed with an additional
hotel and apartment building next to Westmarke. She asked if there is anything else that
can be added to increase the value of the Westmarke building so it can be sold or so more
of the units can be sold or they can have something for more rental income.
Chair Peilen continued the public hearing.
Chair Peilen commented that it is a good thing to develop the vacant parcel. She said she
is concerned about the discrepancy between what the city requires for trees and
landscaping and what was proposed. She said there were other significant gap areas in the
application as well.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she agreed with the Chair and with Commissioner
Robertson. She said she agreed with the city’s expectations of what needs to be worked
out and completed on the plans.
City Council Meeting of August 7, 2017 (Item No. 4l) Page 4
Title: Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 21, 2017
Commissioner Robertson said the Commission is glad to see development on the
important site. He said he doesn’t see any major obstacles to the development but details
need to be worked out. He said the big picture for the development is good.
Commissioner Person noted he has been amazed over the years at the level of interest in
building hotels along 394 and the demand for apartments.
Commissioner Tatalovich said he is in favor of the staff recommendation regarding issues
to be worked out.
Commissioner Robertson made a motion to table the application for preliminary plat and
preliminary PUD and request additional information as outlined by staff and the
Commission. Commissioner Person seconded the motion, and the motion passed on a

Action Agenda Item: 8a
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Solar Panel System at Fire Station #2
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve Termination of Agreements with Viridi
Investments (Apex), LLC, and authorize the city to purchase and install the photovoltaic energy
production system at Fire Station #2 as approved in the Made in Minnesota Solar Incentive Award
from the state.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does Council wish to fund and proceed with installation of a
renewable energy solar panel system on Fire Station #2 and take advantage of the incentive award?
SUMMARY: When making application for the solar incentive award during 2016, the city
proposed using a developer model for the system. Apex (Viridi) would design, finance, purchase,
install, and own the proposed Fire Station solar energy system for a period of ten years, taking
advantage of Federal tax credits and depreciation. The city entered into power purchasing and
lease agreement for Fire Station #2 with Apex for a ten year period. The advantage of this model
was generating renewable energy with no out of pocket expenditures from the city. However,
there would be at best minimal cost savings from reduced energy usage until after the 10 year
period.
Apex recently notified the city that they were unable to ensure installation of the system this year
in time to qualify for the awarded incentive funding. They agreed to forgo any investment made
on this project and have signed the attached Termination of Agreements. This allows the city to
assume the development role and proceed with the project. No city funds have been used to date.
The Department of Commerce has confirmed that the original award application will be honored
without change if the city proceeds as the system developer - provided the specified installation
contractor TruNorth Solar is used and the same Minnesota made panels from Itek are purchased.
A purchase order for the panels was previously submitted by Apex and is currently on hold.
To qualify for the benefits of the award the system must be operational by December. To
accomplish this requires the purchase by the city of the panels/equipment and the expense for the
installation at a total cost of approximately $120,000. With the reduction of electrical use by Fire
Station #2 and the State paid incentive, a 12-year payback is expected at current electric rates.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The city’s capital plan does not take into
consideration this expenditure of funds. However, for 2017 the Council levied $198,000 for
unspecified initiatives related to the climate action plan and/or race equity. Staff feels this would
be an appropriate one-time use of these funds while still providing dollars for race equity initiatives
in 2017, including the hiring of a race equity coordinator.
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.
