Executive summary
Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time -Sensitive **
• No formal action required. This report is to assist with the study session discussion
regarding the 2021 Budget, updated CIP, Utility Rates, and the Long-Range Financial
Management Plan (LRFMP).
Policy consideration: What final levy amount does the council wish to consider for 2021?
When combining annual increases in property taxes and fees, is there an overall maximum
dollar amount the council would not want to exceed?
Summary: Staff will discuss the Long-Range Financial picture based on the projects and capital
plans in place for the next ten years. Impacts based on the levy for 2021 and future years will be
discussed. Total fees including franchise, utilities, and levy will be discussed to show overall
impacts to a residential unit.
Financial or budget considerations: The CIP and LRFMP work in conjunction with the city’s
annual budgeting process in helping to determine an appropriate property tax and HRA levy ,
which aids in maintaining the City’s AAA bond rating.
Strategic priority consideration: All areas of the adopted strategic priorities are impacted by
the city’s budget. St. Louis Park is committed to:
• being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive
community for all.
• continue to lead in environmental stewardship.
• providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood-oriented development.
• providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably,
safely and reliably.
• creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
Discussion
Background: Capital Improvement Plan – (CIP)
Each year, starting at the end of March or early April, staff is asked to determine the needs of
the city and their respective departments regarding purchases or construction of capital items.
Generally speaking, a capital item has a cost greater than $5,000 and a useful life of 3 years or
more. The CIP is adopted and updated annually.
As departments prepare their respective CIP’s, they are asked to provide specific information
which is put into the city’s capital improvement plan software. They are asked to consider the
importance of the capital need and classify them as follows:
1) Have to do – meaning required by mandate, or to maintain a system or business
need.
2) Smart to do – meaning makes sound business sense, and/or anticipates
opportunities and takes advantage of them.
3) Would like to do – meaning if resources became available or made available, it
would make business sense but not as crucial as the Smart to do items.
Staff also takes into consideration council policy direction from the strategic priorities, climate
action plan, Vision 3.0, racial equity and inclusion and the comp plan when reviewing projects,
purchases, programs and planning in the CIP and other budget areas.
Items such as name, useful life, staff contact, description, justification, cost, funding source and
budget impact are some pieces of information that staff prepare. Staff is asked to work with
other departments and especially with finance on items such as cost and funding source,
especially when the proposed project or purchase impacts several departments or needs to be
funded by several sources.
The first draft of the CIP is due to finance by the middle of May each year, with additional
opportunities for revisions occurring in late July and late September or early October. These
revision periods are meant for fine tuning costs or funding sources for projects and any possible
additions or deletions of projects based on updated business needs or council direction.
Long Range Financial Management Plan – (LRFMP)
Upon submission of the CIP in the middle of May, Finance is then able to take the information
and input the data into the LRFMP. During this process the projects are reviewed by funding
source and year, and then are input by funding source total, not individually, into the LRFMP.
Next, each fund is looked at individually to determine if current funding projections are
adequate to fund the proposed capital items, maintain long-term sustainability and meet
suggested fund or cash balance guidelines. Where the re are possible challenges, finance looks
at funds that may have potential available resources to reallocate, possible changes in funding,
such as debt issuance or revenue enhancements, or delaying/reducing/eliminating some
proposed capital items. The latter occurs through discussions with the city manager and the
affected department(s) to determine the best course of action for the city.

Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
Assumptions Used in the LRFMP
To help facilitate the discussion on the LRFMP, staff thought it would be beneficial to provide
assumptions used in the LRFMP.
• All capital projects are funded per the respective CIP’s
• Salary contingency for City Manager use in union negotiations and as needed for setting
salaries for all employees
• No new staff added beyond those planned in 2021
• $250,000 in climate action dollars budgeted in the Development Fund annually as
temporary place holder for possible programs to be determined
• Redistributed Tax Increment (65%) from districts where obligations are paid off are
placed into the Capital Replacement Fund. The remaining 35% will be used for
affordable housing in conjunction with the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
• Realigned commercial and industrial franchise fees to reduce future residential
increases. Propose $1.25 residential increase and $2.00 commercial/industrial increase
• Combine Pavement Management Fund and MSA Fund into one fund (as the f unds work
together and there is no need to have 2 separate funds)
• Combine Housing Rehab Fund and Affordable Housing Trust Fund into one fund (as the
funds work together and there is no need to have 2 separate funds)
• Continue budgeting for a 45% general fund balance
• Used a projection of 4% annual growth on market value for determining impact on
average value home in 2022 and 2% thereafter
• Establish ed fund balance polices for our Capital Funds
Housing Rehabilitation Fund – This Fund primarily covers costs for programs related to
maintaining quality and diverse housing stock within the city , creating affordable
homeownership, rental assistance programs, promoting energy related improvements, and
providing emergency housing assistance. Only TIF eligible programs are planned to be funded
through available revenue from the Aquila Commons and Park Center TIF districts . A portion of
staff time is reimburse d from TIF for administrative costs, and a portion of the HRA levy is
utilized for housing staff salaries . The housing improvement areas (HIAs) are also included in
this f und, with the fees from each HIA covering the costs of each project. Please note this fund
will be used in conjunction with the housing trust fund. The Housing Rehabilitation Fund will
continue to decline in the future unless more levy dollars are assigned to this Fund and/or
programs are reduced.
Affordable Housing Trust Fund - This Fund is proposed to be used in the future for qualifying
housing programs as identified in the policy approved by the council. Most of the HRA levy
proceeds will be placed in this fund. In addition, pooled tax increment dollars that become
available after a district’s obligations have been met will w ork in concert with this fund.
Technically these pooled TIF funds cannot be transferred into this Fund unless the City receives
special legislation to do so . We recommend combining the Affordable Housing Trust Fund with
the Housing Rehab Fund.
Development Fund - Used for EDA projects. The Fund was created from excess or non-tax
increment revenues from pre -1979 districts when the rules on tax increment were much less
restrictive. The current sources of revenue are interest income, parking ramp/lot revenues,
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
interfund loan re payments, and sale of publicly owned land. This Fund is used to help finance
projects by loaning money to other funds, for land purchases, loan programs and othe r EDA
projects. The Development Fund is essentially a non-renewable fund that cannot be
replenished from excess increment any longer due to more strict rules regarding the use of tax
increment.
Current Fund balance is approximately $21 million, and staff recommends we implement a
minimum fund balance policy of $20 million. With the interest income and interfund loan
repayments becoming less and less, additional funding options will be needed to sustain this
Fund. One option other communities have implemented is an EDA levy which is based on a
maximum amount of .0183% of estimated market value (similar concept and amount to HRA
levy of approximately $1.4 million but restricted to economic development purposes). Staff
recommends the council consider implementing an EDA levy of at least some amount starting
in 2022 to assist in keeping fund balance at $20 million .
The Development Fund also acts as the holding/pass through fund for the convention and
visitor’s bureau lodging tax , for which the city retains 5% as an administrative fee.
Park Improvement Fund - This Fund is responsible for financing capital expenditures within city
parks and the improvement of park facilities . The primary sources of revenue are property
taxes, park dedication fees from redevelopment projects, and on occasion bond proceeds.
While park d edication fees are budgeted for future years, the timing is only an estimate as it is
tied to development projections. This Fund will need modest levy increase s starting in 2022
and will require debt over the next 8 years to maintain the capital schedule currently in place.
Another option is to ide ntify projects that can be moved out to future years to alleviate the
need for debt. It is recommended we implement a minimum fund balance policy of $500,000
which equates to 3 to 6 months of expense, depending on the capital project for that year.
Pavement Management Fund - This Fund is used for pave ment rehabilitation of local streets .
Staff proposes using this Fund for both local and MSA streets (fold MSA Fund into this Fund).
The current revenue sources for this Fund are Centerpoint Energy and Xcel franchise fees
charged to customers within the city . Currently, the amount is $5.50/month per utility for a
single -family residential home. We are proposing raising the rate by $1.25/month for a total of
$6.75/month per utility for residential users. Staff had originally considered $1.50/mo for both
residential and commercial customers, but after further review of upcoming and longer-term
projects, the recommendation is $1.25 for residential and $2.00 for commercial.
Commercial/Industrial franchise fees vary depending on the size of the facility.
When franchise fees were first implemented as a funding source, the council’s direction was to
use these funds for street improvement projects in lieu of imposing special assessments on the
properties adjacent to the street that has been improved. This practice continues and has
worked well.
The city’s pavement management program has been in place since 2004. This program
established an overall condition index (OCI) goal of 70 for our pavement. Last fall, staff
provided an overview of the program to council and, after discussion, the council provided
direction to continue to implement the program.
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 1) Page 5
Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
Since 2001, we have reconstructed or rehabbed 74 miles of streets (40%). The 2021-2030 CIP
has programmed a little over 63 miles of streets for rehabilitation (46%). There are about 23
miles (14%) of city streets that are not programmed within this CIP update.
In 2000, the overall average OCI of the city’s street network was 69.6. In 2020, this average was
65.4. It is projected that upon completion of the street segments in the 10-year CIP, our overall
street network OCI will be 70.
Based on the recent bidding environment, increased costs were incorporated into the LRFMP
update for future projects. Engineering staff is also looking at our construction practices to
determine if there are ways to bring down project costs. It is recommended we implement a
minimum fund balance policy of $1 million to help cover unexpected costs for future projects.
Municipal State Aid (MSA)
Th e city receives an annual allocation from the s tate (gas tax) in the form of municipal
construction funds for our state aid eligible roads. The amount of construction aid for 2020 was
$1.4 million . Our current draft CIP has $29 million in state -aid related projects over the next 10
years. In order to complete these projects in this time period, the LRFMP is currently using our
available MSA dollars along with bond proceeds. This would require additional tax levy support
starting in 2022 ($140,000 in 2022 and ramping up to $2 million in 2028).
The funding challenges for the city’s state aid streets was discussed at length by the council last
year. In lieu of using property taxes, consideration was given to creating a local option sales tax
to help fund the needs of our state aid streets. Creating a local option sales tax requires special
legislative authority. In January 2020 the council decided to not pursue special legislation to
allow for more analysis and public input. Assuming no other outside revenue sources become
available, and the current capital plan is to be fulfilled, debt will need to be taken out to fund all
the street needs over the next ten years.
Sidewalk and Trails Fund (Connect the Park) – This Fund accounts for revenues and
expenditures related to the enhancement of the city’s sidewalks and trails system (including
bridges). The major source of revenue for this Fund is bond proceeds which are repaid through
a property tax levy. The possibility of receiving grants in the future will also continue to be
explored for financing some of the projects in the plan. The plan also includes the various GAP
sidewalk segments. At an earlier study session council indicated a desire to keep working on
the Connect the Park projects in process but to revisit in the future the ones that have not been
started. Continued discussion with council is needed in this area to determine priorities,
funding and other considerations. No minimum fund balance is required for this Fund, as it is
fully funded by bond proceeds.
Cap ital Replacement Fund – This Fund pays for capital expenditures related to technology,
buildings, and equipment. The primary funding sources are property taxes and charges to other
funds for equipment replacement. The city’s annual local government aid (LGA) allocation has
been placed in this fund. Unfortunately, based on the state’s LGA formula, we will not be
receiving LGA in 2021 and beyond. Based on funding needs staff is proposing we place 65% of
the redistributed TIF dollars into this fund (reminder – the other 35% will be used for affordable
housing). We recommended implementing a fund balance policy of $1 million which is 1/5th of
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 1) Page 6
Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
yearly expenditures. Based on the current CIP we will need to increase the levy allocation to
this fund in 2022 by approximately $250,000 and another $200,000 in 2023 to maintain the
schedule in our Capital plan (small annual increases in 2024- 2030). Staff will continue to review
projects and priorities and make changes based on funding. If the council chooses to not
increase the levy allocation for this fund , we will need to delay some
projects/equipment/technology in this Fund over the next several years.
Bonding Estimates:
Below is a summary of annual debt issuance based on the needs identified in each of the funds:
Utility Funds: The city is using the rate study done by Ehlers in 2018 to determine the funding
needs for each of the city’s utility enterprises and corresponding rate increases required to
meet those needs. This study took a broad look at the operational and capital needs of the
utility funds. The rate increases were recommended so the funds were able to not only pay for
operational expense, but also continue to fulfill current capital needs. A brief summary of the
funds is as follows:
• Water: For the water fund staff is recommending a 4.75 percent increase for 2021.
Significant expenses for this fund are capital, staffing, the Reilly Superfund site and debt
service. In 2021, the rehab of water tower #2 (located adjacent to SWLRT corridor),
along with several other capital projects are proposed to be undertaken. The council
has approved issuing bonds in 2020 and none in 2021. These bonds will be repaid with
utility revenues and enable the Water Fund to have its capital needs fulfilled. The
proposed rate structure continues to have a fixed fee rate to support basic operations
for water system/delivery, along with usage tiers to continue to encourage water
cons ervation.
• Sewer: Sewer costs are mainly to pay for the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services charge (MCES), staffing and capital costs. Metropolitan Council rate increase for
2021 was approximately a 2%, or $550,000 increase. Staff does not anticipate any bonds
being issued in 2020 or 2021. Staff is recommending a 4 percent increase for 2021.
• Storm Water: With the 10-year capital plan, staff is recommending a rate increase of 5
percent for 2021. This increase will help meet the increased capital needs and debt service
obligations. Significant expenses for this fund are capital and maintenance of the system.
• Solid Waste: The rate study reviewed trying to further achieve “pay as you throw” to
encourage less waste and more recycling. For example, rates were adjusted to
encourage customers to use smaller carts or opt for every other week collection using
smaller carts (smallest will be 30 gallons for long -term).
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 1) Page 7
Title: 2021 budget, updated CIP, utility rates, and LRFMP
For 2020, the recycling market conditio ns changed significantly resulting in anticipated
revenues of $46,000 not only not materializing but resulted in an increase cost to the
program of $72,000. Staff is recommending a 5 percent increase for 2021 and the
applicable increases to each service le vel under 60 gallons in order to move these
smaller service levels closer to base costs and incent fewer 20-gallon carts which will be
retired in the long term. In addition, rates assure operations and capital are funded,
with appropriate cash balance.
2021 Levy options : Staff will provide a high -level overview of a few levy options for 2021 and the
required levy for future years. The levy projections consider all our operational and capital
needs over the next ten years based on our current capital plan. Based on this plan, the largest
increase in the next ten years will be in 2022. The following assumptions are in the 2021 budget.
• Operations remain status quo from 2020
• 5 new positions in the budget (includes fire reorg. which is 3 of those /no levy increase
needed)
• Salary contingency
• Capital as outlined in the attached CIP documents
As noted in the chart above, a 3% levy will require a larger tax increase looking forward in to
2022 AND a reduction of approximately $778,000 in capital projects, programs, services and/or
staff. Likewise, a 4.5% levy will require approximately a $255,000 reduction. A 5% levy incre ase
is a modest $83,000 reduction that can likely be easily obtained, and a 6.11% levy give s the
Council additional dollars for funding future staff needs and/or programs (moving climate
action from Development Fund to General Fund).
You will notice a large increase in 2022. This is due to capital project costs in all areas of our
capital funds being realized from both 2021 and 2022. Consecutive years stay the same as we
use data from our capital plan. If the projected levy increase is too high for 2022, staff will need
to make reductions to our capital, staffing, or programs in 2021 and 2022 to flatten out the
increases. The capital increase/decrease column is showing additional capital reductions that
will need to be made to attain the levy % stated for 2022.

Why are you interested in becoming a member of the St. Louis Park City Council?
I am proud of the city's comprehensive and forward-looking planning to enhance the well-being of all of its
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 2)
Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 3
citizens. In my different community roles, I have had opportunity to participate in many of the city's
strategic priorities of racial equity, environmental stewardship, housing, mobility, and community
engagement. I would love to now take a comprehensive role to help St. Louis Park build on its strengths,
while ensuring equity and inclusion for all its residents.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
I have played several roles as a community leader in St. Louis Park; serving on both school district and city
committees; serving on both the School Board and the St. Louis Park Planning Commission; and
participating in community initiatives.
Even before being elected to the School Board I served as the school district liaison to both the Community
Education Advisory Committee and to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, including take a turn
chairing both committees. I also had active roles in two rounds of strategic planning for the school district. I
have been on other school district committees such as the Equity and Excellence Task Force.
I have also participated in other city initiatives. I was a member of the joint school/city Community
Recreation Task Force, and participated in the Health in the Park initiative.
After I was elected to the School Board, I helped promote discussion on items such as facilities
improvement, increased mental health support, transgender support, systemic racism and equity, and
environmental stewardship. With the other board members we made it the highest priority to subject each
decision to the equity lens.
I am currently serving on the St. Louis Park Planning Commission. I was pleased to be appointed to this
commission as many planning decisions could have an influence on affordable housing in St. Louis Park, like
the recent discussion on ADU's.
Beyond my other involvement, I have always tried to be knowledgeable about and give my feedback on
issues both in the schools and in the city. Several city council members, past and present, might remember
me contacting them about various issues.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis Park
that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
1. Affordable housing.
We have discussed some ideas in Planning Commission on how to increase Naturally Occurring Affordable
Housing by loosening rules on ADUs and duplexes. I hope we will continue to investigate other novel ideas
about how to promote affordable housing.
2. Climate action
Ensure that the city stays on track to achieve its goal of being carbon neutral by 2040. Continue to find
ways to partner with the community to achieve that, like the partnership developed with the school district.
3. Racial equity
I would like to continue to dialogue about ways to achieve racial equity. I support continuing to make it the
lens through which all other decisions are made. I also support developing community education
opportunities to help the community understand the concepts of systemic racism and implicit bias. I plan to
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 2)
Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 4
continue to educate myself.
4. Mental health and community engagement
Continue to find ways to promote community engagement, which is a key component of mental health.
Public gathering spaces are important, as well as promoting community activities. We should find ways to
involve youth in city government.
If appointed, would you plan to seek reelection to a full term?

Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 6
I want to give back to the St. Louis Park community and bring Vision 3.0 to life. I have lived in St. Louis Park
Ward 2 for more than 30 years. St. Louis Park is changing fast. I look forward to being a strong, effective
voice representing our community as we make decisions to usher in these changes.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
I campaigned for six months in 2019 for City Council At Large knocking on about 2000 doors and engaged
residents more than 600 conversations to learn what issues are important to them, their neighbors and in
their neighborhoods. I’m well versed on the issues and have the support of several thousand neighbors.
I established a partnership with the League of Women Voters and FairVote Minnesota and led the effort for
the approval of Ranked Choice Voting by forming a grassroots campaign showing the acceptance and
appreciation of Ranked Choice Voting. This campaign required working closely with St. Louis Park residents,
the St. Louis Park Charter Commission and individual Commissioners. I also participated in the Panel
Discussion that was hosted by the Charter Commission. Our League also partnered with the St. Louis Park
Elections Staff to help educate our St. Louis Park neighbors how Ranked Choice Voting works.
I have been the President of the League of Women Voters St. Louis Park for more than 6 years.
One of our members requested that we do more to engage children in civics. This lead to 3 initiatives: 1) I
established a partnership with KidsVoting Minnesota and then MN Civic Youth who worked with The
League of Women Voters St. Louis Park to start Kids Voting St. Louis Park program. Our success lead to the
initiation of the Student Vote program through the Secretary of State’s office.
2) I implemented a civics game that the LWV St. Louis Park brings to the Children’s First Ice Cream Social
and other events.
3) I led the effort to implement the LWV St. Louis Park scholarship program. The scholarship is awarded
through the Dollars for Scholars program at the St. Louis Park Senior High School.
I have a business process analysis and tech-savvy background as a consultant. I use a business process
canvas to identify problems, opportunities, partners and key performance indicators. I will use this analysis
process to review policies and issues. I help businesses adopt changes and mediate conflict by reaching
consensus.
I have attended several training sessions through Women Winning, Wellstone Winning, and Vote, Run,
Lead.
I continue research and discovery through online blogs, books, white papers and podcasts to learn more
about issues we face such as racial equity and the housing crises.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
Safety
• Everyone needs a safe place to call home
• Maintain our affordable housing stock so families are not afraid of being displaced like Meadowbrook
units
• We need a way to get residents safely to and from the light rail stations and around SLP
• I look forward to helping residents advocate for stop signs, reducing the speed limits, exploring traffic
calming measures and promoting the Livable Street designs
Equity
• Promote racial equity, racial equity education, and racial equity acceptance

Why are you interested in becoming a member of the St. Louis Park City Council?
Having lived in St. Louis Park for over two years now, I have grown extremely fond of the communities it
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 2)
Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 9
represents. It's diverse population and centralized locale is unique and provides for a lot of opportunity;
neighborhoods feel like neighborhoods here. While the city has its significant positive traits, it also has a lot
of opportunities to grow. The challenge with the Cedar Lake Trail, the affect of COVID-19 on our businesses
and at-risk citizens, and the drive to become a more diverse and inclusive community are all items I take
personally. I want to bring the experiences I've gained to influence positive change in my own community.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness which ties closely with social
services. Complementary to that I graduated December 15, 2018 with my MBA from the University of St.
Thomas, which provided me the education I needed to understand P&L's and budgets.
I have been in a job function in the military that centers around community organizing, planning, and
coordination - I have performed this job in vulnerable communities in Iraq, Djibouti, and Ukraine, as well as
trained personnel to perform this job all over the world. My work with people of multiple cultures and
backgrounds has given me the capapbility to understand diversity and inclusion and has driven me to tie my
engagement back to strategic objectives for equal treatment of all people. I have experience speaking
publicly to both small and large groups in both professional and informal situations. I have experience
negotiating solutions and considering the varying points of view that come from planning and alignment
between government and communities.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
The current strategic priorities are fantastic. Our locale and population provide us the opportunity to be a
leader in terms of racial equity and inclusion. This is a fundamental characteristic of a successful community
and I would be honored to help drive this objective forward. This is what I've done all over the world with
the military in Civil Affairs.
Secondly, the goal to grow as a leader in environmental issues is very close to my heart as well as my
families. My wife and I compost, grow food, ride bikes, have a hybrid car, and try to influence others to do
the same. There is great opportunity here for that.
Additionally, the importance of diverse housing and neighborhood development as well as transportation
options for those that need it is critical to build confidence in our citizens to want to engage with their
community.
I would like to eventually see a priority in Cybersecurity related awareness to help protect our population
from threats. This is something that, in addition to my Civil Affairs experience, that I can bring to the table.
People can be just as vulnerable online as they are in the physical world.

Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 12
My husband and I moved to St. Louis Park 2006. When we bought our house, we had the goal to stay in our
home long term. We were welcomed to the neighborhood enthusiastically. During neighborhood
gatherings, neighbors that introduced themselves often included how long they lived there. At the time,
neighbors fell into one of two categories: (1) under 5 years or (2) 20+ years. I have observed fellow Saint
Louis Park residents talk about the length of their residency in the Park with a certain amount of pride.
My experience on the Vision 3.0 Steering Committee was eye opening. When people of color were asked
their experience attending neighborhood meetings, 42% of that subset reported and were more likely to
use the words “disconnected, sad, lonely or isolated, cold, frustrated, secluded, nervous, depressed,
neglected or unsupported. When white respondents were asked that same question on the same survey,
79% responded with positive words. That to me, signified a disconnect. If residents don’t feel comfortable
going to a neighborhood meeting, where important issues are discussed that impact that neighborhood,
then those voices are lost.
I have always been interested in local politics. Given their accessibility to stakeholders, local officials are
held to a different standard. I hope to be a representative that welcomes new ideas and sees challenges as
opportunities for our city to continue to grow.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
I am a commercial real estate broker where I work with clients to secure space for their use. My projects
require that our team works with local municipalities to ensure our projects comply with land use policies
set forth by the governing entity. My professional life requires knowledge of how that approval process
gets navigated at a city or county level, depending on location.
I have worked on Saint Louis Park City led initiatives such as the Vision 3.0 Steering Committee, a City
Council appointment. I was a Sidewalk Poetry Panelist in August. I currently serve on Planning Commission
as Vice Chair.
I have served on numerous nonprofit and business boards over the years, including Aeon, Catholic Charities
of St. Paul & Minneapolis, Minneapolis Downtown Council, MinnPost.com, Urban Land Institute MN, and
Building Owners and Managers of Greater Minneapolis (“BOMA”). I take board roles seriously, knowing that
the decisions I have before me, impact residents/clients/communities.
I have dedicated a significant amount of nonprofit time in affordable housing, both with Aeon and now with
Catholic Charities.
During my 9 years on Aeon’s board, I served as board chair for 2 years and at the time, the organization
experienced tremendous growth. That board follows the Carver Governance model, the same model the
Council uses today.
At times, both my professional and nonprofit community work intersects. Cross sector collaboration can be
an efficient way to address issues in the community. While I only joined the Minneapolis Downtown Council
board just last year (a business focused organization), I have been involved for many years with this group,
working on the 2025 Plan that resulted Ending Street Homelessness as a priority for the organization. Since
2010, I have been on the Ending Street Homelessness Committee where we’ve provided education to
members and stakeholders regarding this issue, fundraised for specific programs with nonprofit social
services providers, and advocated for policies in Minneapolis/Hennepin County/State of MN to remove
barriers to shelter and housing. Other examples of cross sector collaboration can be found in my work with
Harvard Business School’s Young American Leaders Program (“YALP”) where I was selected to participate in
the program in 2016 by both GREATER MSP and the Itasca Project. In 2019, local leaders developed a
similar program with Harvard for our state (mYALP). I was on a team that gave guidance to curriculum for
the inaugural program and served on the selection committee for the Minneapolis/St. Paul cohort. A Saint

Louis Park staff member was a participant in that program.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is personally important to me. As a BIPOC woman in a white, male
dominated industry such as commercial real estate, I have worked to build a pipeline of future
professionals in our industry through my involvement in the Commercial Real Estate Diversity Collaborative
(“CREDC”), where we provide scholarship and industry connections to BIPOC candidates. This collaborative
effort involves industry associations and corporations that see the value in diversifying our workforce
because the outcomes are vastly different and improved. Most recently, I have become involved with the
Twin Cities Rebuild Coalition, which focuses on the rebuilding of business that suffered significant damage
during the riots in response to the killing of George Floyd. These businesses are mostly BIPOC owned along
Lake Street, West Broadway, and Hamline Midway. I have formed a team of fellow JLL colleagues, who are
working with these individual business owners, offering the same service we provide our large corporate
clients because we believe that preservation of these diverse business owners is vital to our community and
economy. I have also been involved with the Metropolitan State University’s College of Management
(“COM”), serving on their Dean’s Advisory Committee, working to create pathways into the commercial real
estate industry to graduates of COM.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
I wish to advance Council’s 2018 adopted strategic priorities, especially focusing on “creating a more just
and inclusive community for all” and “creating opportunities to build social capital through community
engagement”.
I would also like to focus on safety and equitable resources towards achieving a livability standard for the
city. I believe issue of safety is a regional issue.

I grew up in Ward 2 - Class of '65. After college, Peace Corps in Thailand, 4 years in Illinois and 3 years in
Algeria I moved back to ward 2 in 1981 to raise my two daughters - classes of '01 and '03. Having lived most

Why are you interested in becoming a member of the St. Louis Park City Council?
I have lived in St Louis Park for 3years now, watching the ever changing climate I feel I need to be active in
Study session meeting of October 12, 2020 (Item No. 2)
Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 19
our community. I moved to this area because I felt a sense of community, now I feel that is disappearing. I
am a active participant in my job and very engaging with those I work with, I feel that I could do this in our
community. This has been a challenging year for most of us and having someone who wants to serve and
most importantly listen to their constituents is the upmost important thing we can do.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
First and foremost I have never served in a public office. I have although served in numerous roles in a
union of 26,000 employees. I am currently a grievance chair for my union so, understanding the differences
of what a person wants and what is allowed by contracts and how to negotiate the the two is an invaluable
resource. I feel having these skills and being in this role for over 20 yrs has given me a skill set most do not
have.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
My goal if selected to this position would be to establish unity in out community. Our ward encapsulates a
wide variety of individuals and business, which at this time and in this environment are very vulnerable. I
work with more than 100k employees and feel that I can relate to all ethnicities, races and religions. My
initiative would be to listen, learn and evaluate. Yes, that sounds simple but it’s not. We as a community
need to understand what our neighbors concerns are, it’s not personal, it’s their concerns. On the US stage
Minneapolis is not looked at in a good light, I as a transplant only living here for 5 years, would like to
change that. I came to MSP with the knowledge of Minnesota nice, now when I tell people I live in
Minneapolis they are afraid for me. We as a community have a lot of work to change that, to bring
businesses back, to bring tourism back that is what I would like to achieve

Title: Review interview process for filling ward seat 2 Page 21
I am interested in the role as I have a passion for servant leadership. My focus on serving in my
communities has focused on volunteer efforts with employers, non-profit board roles, and an appointed
Government Role with the state.
Over the last 20 years I've volunteered with organizations like 2nd Harvest Heartland, Habitat for Humanity,
and Park and Recreation organizations to address hunger, housing, and youth enrichment. I've also
volunteered on boards to address similar issues and racial equity, working on board for the YMCA, United
Way, National Black MBA and otherwise.
Over the last two years, I've considered running for City Council as a way to drive greater impact in my
community. I have talked to friends, experts and St. Louis Park City Council members to gain perspective as
to whether my skill set and perspective would be valued. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to run for a
seat in 2021. However, the recent vacancy accelerated my timing.
Describe your experiences that have prepared you to serve on the city council.
My experiences in corporate America and non-profit boards have helped prepare me to serve. I have
worked for Ford Motor Company, General Mills, and currently Mortenson. My non-profit Board experience
includes the YMCA, United Way, National Black MBA, Carlson School of Management, and State of
Minnesota Connected and Automated Vehicle Committee. My experience in both corporate America and
non-profits have been rooted in strategic thinking, demonstrated ability to build consensus, and highlighted
my strengths as a leader who can listen.
At both General Mills and Mortenson, I served in corporate strategy roles. In these capacities, I was
responsible for helping shape the long range plan for both companies. This requires a skillset to understand
the internal and environment, distill complex information unto understandable focus areas, and drive
alignment on focus. This is demonstrated through work I led to help diversify the business portfolio of
Mortenson which resulted in entering a new renewable energy business. I see this as applicable to City
Council leadership, as there will be need to develop a strategy for future success and a plan to get there.
With significant experience in organizations that are consensus driven, I have experience in connecting to
stakeholders as well as listening and helping to advance efforts for an organization. I see this as critical to
the future success of St. Louis Park. An effective City Council member must have the ability to develop
rapport, understand stakeholders, and drive towards consensus with other Council members.
Finally, I have experience in leadership. Whether leading student organizations while in undergraduate and
graduate schools, serving as board president for multiple organizations, or my reputation in the community,
I have experience as a leader and a reputation for making sure all voices are heard. Through work with the
Itasca Project, a local organization focused on bettering our region, I have also developed an appreciation
for the type of leadership needed to advance St. Louis Park. Similar to the foundational elements of The
Itasca Project, I believe that we need leadership and collaboration among business, government, and non-
profits to advance St. Louis Park.
Briefly describe one to three goals/initiatives you feel are important to your overall vision for St. Louis
Park that you would like to see addressed as a council member.
Racial Equity: Despite a robust corporate community and amazing philanthropic organizations, the Twin
Cities has continued to fail in the area of racial equity. When we look at metrics including education,
healthcare and economic security, we have much work to do. I feel it is important to understand inequities
that exist and our history, so we can remove barriers that exist and create an equitable city where people
want to live and stay.

Renewable Energy: Renewable Energy presents the opportunity to help address climate change while
driving investment and creating jobs. Renewable Energy is a small fraction of today's energy generation.

Executive summary
Title: Acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
Recommended action: **Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, this item is considered
essential business and is categorized as Time -Sensitive **
•No action at this time. This report is to inform the council/EDA of the proposed acquisition
of a property at 6211 Cedar Lake Road .
Policy consideration: Should the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (EDA ) acquire
the property at 6211 Cedar Lake Road to facilitate a permanent access to the city’s outdoor
storage /residential brush drop-off facility?
Summary: The city was approached earlier this year by representatives of the owner of 6211
Cedar Lake Road inquiring as to the city’s interest in purchasing the property. The city currently
owns several parcels of land surrounding this property, including the city’s outdoor storage /
residential brush drop-off facility. At present, the city leases access to the outdoor storage facility
from the Soo Line Railroad . This is an annual lease with no long-term guarantee . Acquisition of
6211 Cedar Lake R oad would provide for a permanent access to the city’s property.
Financial or budget considerations: The purchase price of the property is $300,000 which
would be paid from the EDA’s Development Fund. Funding for strategic acquisitions was
provided for in the city’s 2020 budget. The operations and recreation department is currently
leasing access across the Soo Line Railroad property for $10,000 annually.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
Discussion
Background: Earlier this year, representatives of the owner of 6211 Cedar Lake Road
approached the city inquiring as to the city’s interest in purchasing the property. Acquisition of
the property would provide for permanent access to the city’s needed outdoor storage /
residential brush drop-off facility located at 2501 Edgewood Ave S. At present, the operations
and recreation department leases access to the outdoor storage facility across the Soo Line
Railroad property, as there is no direct access to that property from Cedar Lake Road. The city -
owned parcels, with the exception of the outdoor storage area, are predominantly wetland and
as such, impractical to establish access across.
The operations and recreation department is the primary user of the outdoor storage facility
for storage of mulch, tree debris, and project fill material. However, the facility is also routinely
accessed by contractors for temporary storage of brush and other landscaping debris, and
regularly by residents to drop off brush and pick up mulch. Operations and recreation staff
support the acquisition of 6211 Cedar Lake Road to provide a permanent access to the outdoor
storage facility.
Present considerations: The subject property is currently occupied by a vacant, single-family
house. In order to establish access to the city’s outdoor storage /residential brush drop-off
facility, the house will have to be removed. Staff will pursue options including having the house
moved to another location, deconstruction/recycling, and/or demolition, as necessary.
Next steps: Staff will bring the purchase agreement for 6211 Cedar Lake Road to the EDA on
Nov. 2 for formal action. If approved, closing would occur on or before Dec. 31, 2020.
