Executive summary
Title: Interfund loan resolution – Bridgewater Bank TIF Note
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing an interfund loan to prepay
the Bridgewater Bank TIF Note to the benefit of the Development Fund.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve an interfund loan resolution authorizing
the prepayment of the Bridgewater Bank TIF Note from the Development Fund so as to enable
the Development Fund to achieve greater interest earnings?
Summary: On Aug. 6, 2018, the EDA entered into a Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with
Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares. Under the contract, Bridgewater Bank
(“Developer”) agreed to construct an 84,000 square foot Class A office building at the northeast
corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive (“project”) as specified under the approved
PUD. In turn, the EDA agreed to reimburse the Developer for qualified redevelopment costs up
to $950,000 in property tax increment generated by the project to make it financially feasible.
Bridgewater Bank completed the project in 2020 and the EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers,
recently completed the Lookback Analysis required under the contract and found no adjustment
in the agreed upon amount of tax increment is warranted. It is therefore time to issue the TIF
Note specifying the terms under which tax increment payments will be made to the Developer.
The first payment under the Note is payable the first week of August 2021. Given that the total
amount of tax increment to be paid is less than $1 million and the interest rate on the Note is
1.27 percent, Ehlers and staff recommend the EDA adopt an Interfund Loan resolution. This
would authorize the EDA to pay off the balance of the TIF Note from the Development Fund and
to use tax increment payments from the project to repay the Development Fund at the city’s
legal rate of borrowing which is currently four percent. This arrangement would yield greater
interest earnings for the Development Fund, currently estimated at approximately $140,000.
Prepaying the Note would result in an interfund loan term of six years (instead of the 5.5-year
term of the Note). The development has been completed and has a higher assessed market
value than originally projected. Given this, and the fact that the Developer is legally obligated to
pay its property taxes, the proposed arrangement poses little risk to the EDA. Both Ehlers and
the EDA’s legal counsel recommend approval of the proposed Interfund Loan arrangement.
Financial or budget considerations: Prepaying the TIF Note from the Development Fund and
having the Development Fund repaid with tax increment payments from the completed
Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project will enable the Development Fund to achieve
approximately $140,000 in interest earnings on the interfund loan, which is approximately
$100,000 more than if the funds remained in the Development Fund and invested at a less
attractive rate.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Interfund loan resolution – Bridgewater Bank TIF Note
EDA Resolution No. 21-____
Resolution authorizing an interfund loan for advance of certain costs in
connection with the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District
Whereas, on Aug. 6, 2018, the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the
"City") approved the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District
(the "TIF District") within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the "Project"), and adopted a Tax
Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") for the purpose of financing certain improvements
within the Project; and
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) entered into a
Purchase and Redevelopment Contract (the “Contract”) with Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. and
Bridgewater Bank (the “Redeveloper”), pursuant to which the EDA conveyed certain property
(the “Redevelopment Property”) to the Redeveloper and the Redeveloper constructed a new
bank headquarters (the “Minimum Improvements”) on the Redevelopment Property; and
Whereas, the Redeveloper has completed the construction of the Minimum
Improvements on the Redevelopment Property, and has provided evidence of payment of
certain Public Redevelopment Costs (as defined in the Contract), and on June 16, 2021, the EDA
issued its Tax Increment Revenue Note (the “Note”) to the Redeveloper in the principal amount
of $950,000, payable from tax increments from the Minimum Improvements and
Redevelopment Property; and
Whereas, under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, the EDA is authorized to
advance or loan money from the EDA's development fund or any other fund from which such
advances may be legally authorized, to finance qualified costs of a TIF district; and
Whereas, the EDA has determined to prepay the Note in full from its development fund,
and to reimburse itself for such prepayment of the Public Redevelopment Costs from tax
increments derived from the TIF District in accordance with the terms of this resolution (which
terms are referred to collectively as the "Interfund Loan").
Now therefore be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the St.
Louis Park Economic Development Authority as follows: 1.The EDA hereby authorizes the advance of $951,596, representing $950,000 in
principal of the Note and $1,596 in accrued interest from the date of issuance of the
Note to Aug. 3, 2021, the date of prepayment of the Note. The EDA shall reimburse
itself for such advance together with interest at the rate stated below. Interest
accrues on the principal amount from the date of each advance. The maximum rate
of interest permitted to be charged is limited to the greater of the rates specified
under Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 as of the date the loan
or advance is authorized, unless the written agreement states that the maximum
interest rate will fluctuate as the interest rates specified under Minnesota Statutes,
Section 270C.40 or Section 549.09 are from time to time adjusted. The interest rate
shall be 4% and will not fluctuate.

Title: Interfund loan resolution – Bridgewater Bank TIF Note
2.Principal and interest ("Payments") on the Interfund Loan shall be paid semi-annually
on each Aug. 1 and Feb. 1 (each a "Payment Date"), commencing on the first
Payment Date on which the EDA has Available Tax Increment (defined below), or on
any other dates determined by the Executive Director of the EDA, through the date of
last receipt of tax increment from the TIF District.
3.Payments on this Interfund Loan are payable solely from "Available Tax Increment,"
which shall mean, on each Payment Date, tax increment available after other
obligations have been paid, or as determined by the Executive Director of the EDA,
generated in the preceding six (6) months with respect to the property within the TIF
District and remitted to the EDA by Hennepin County, all in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, all inclusive, as amended.
Payments on this Interfund Loan may be subordinated to any outstanding or future
bonds, notes or contracts secured in whole or in part with Available Tax Increment,
and are on parity with any other outstanding or future interfund loans secured in
whole or in part with Available Tax Increment.
4.The principal sum and all accrued interest payable under this Interfund Loan are pre-
payable in whole or in part at any time by the EDA without premium or penalty. No
partial prepayment shall affect the amount or timing of any other regular payment
otherwise required to be made under this Interfund Loan.
5.This Interfund Loan is evidence of an internal borrowing by the EDA in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subd. 7, and is a limited obligation payable
solely from Available Tax Increment pledged to the payment hereof under this
resolution. This Interfund Loan and the interest hereon shall not be deemed to
constitute a general obligation of the State of Minnesota or any political subdivision
thereof, including, without limitation, the EDA. Neither the State of Minnesota, nor
any political subdivision thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal of or interest
on this Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto except out of Available Tax
Increment, and neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of
Minnesota or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the
principal of or interest on this Interfund Loan or other costs incident hereto. The EDA
shall have no obligation to pay any principal amount of the Interfund Loan or accrued
interest thereon, which may remain unpaid after the final payment date.
6.The EDA may amend the terms of this Interfund Loan at any time by resolution of the
Board, including a determination to forgive the outstanding principal amount and
accrued interest to the extent permissible under law.

Title: Collateral Assignment of Interest in Revenue Note Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA Resolution approving a Collateral Assignment in
connection with the Contract for Private Redevelopment with Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC for
the Texa Tonka multifamily housing development.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA find that the proposed Collateral Assignment of Interest in
Revenue Note conforms to the Contract for Private Redevelopment with Texa Tonka
Apartments, LLC and is in the city’s best interest?
Summary: On April 5, 2021, the EDA entered into a Contract for Private Redevelopment with
Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC, and will issue a TIF Note to Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC pursuant
to the Contract. Under the Contract, the EDA agreed to permit the collateral assignment of the
TIF Note to the holder of any mortgage securing construction or permanent financing, so long
as the assignment is approved by the EDA. Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC is currently in the
process of finalizing a construction loan for the project, and Bridgewater Bank, which is
providing the construction loan, has requested a collateral assignment to Bridgewater of the TIF
Note as security for the loan.
The proposed Collateral Assignment is substantially similar to other Collateral Assignments the
EDA has previously approved for other projects. The proposed Collateral Assignment has been
reviewed by the EDA’s legal counsel who recommends its approval.
Financial or budget considerations: All costs associated with the preparation of the proposed
Collateral Assignment (Kennedy & Graven) are to be paid by Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

when due pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note. The affidavit or written statement of
an officer, agent or attorney of Lender stating that Lender is exercising its right to payments

agreements imposed upon it under the TIF Note and Development Agreement, subject to
Assignor’s right to reasonably contest observance/performance.

obligations related to the TIF Note or the Development Agreement, nor shall Lender be liable to
the EDA by reason of any default by any party under the TIF Note or the Development
Agreement. Borrower agrees to indemnify and to hold Lender harmless of and from any and all

CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF PAYMENTS UNDER
TAX INCREMENT REVENUE NOTE
Upon compliance by Texa Tonka Apartments, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company
(the “Redeveloper”) with the conditions therefor set forth in the Development Agreement (as
hereafter defined), the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority, a public body
corporate and politic and a political subdivision under the laws of Minnesota (the “EDA”), will

“TIF Note”) pursuant to a Contract for Private Redevelopment by and between the EDA and the
Redeveloper, dated April 5, 2021 (the “Development Agreement”). The EDA has received a
Collateral Assignment of Interest in Revenue Note which assigns as collateral to Bridgewater
Bank, a Minnesota banking corporation (“Bridgewater”), all its interests in the payments of
Available Tax Increment (as defined in the Development Agreement) under the TIF Note and
Redeveloper’s rights pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Development Agreement and other sections
related to causing the issuance of the TIF Note. The issuance of the TIF Note is contingent on
the EDA receiving evidence of eligible costs to be reimbursed by Tax Increments in the amount
of $2,600,000.00. The EDA consents to such collateral assignment pursuant to the terms of the
TIF Note and the EDA agrees that Bridgewater shall have the right but not the obligation to cure
any default under the Development Agreement. Further, the EDA agrees that any transfer of
the Property to Bridgewater by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure shall not be a
prohibited transfer under the Development Agreement; provided, however, that following such
transfer, any failure by Bridgewater to comply with the Redeveloper’s obligations under the
Development Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Development
Agreement.
Until further notified, the EDA shall make all payments under the TIF Note to
Redeveloper to be deposited into a deposit account held by Redeveloper at Bridgewater Bank

1. Community technology advisory commission smart cities initiative – part 2 and
workplan review
Mr. Pires introduced the commission members, noting this is part 2 of the workplan review for
the commission.
Mr. Levine presented the report.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the NOAH housing information will be presented later in the
meeting. Ms. Schnitker stated yes it will.
Councilmember Kraft stated the dashboard information presented is fantastic. Ms. Schnitker
noted the inclusionary housing policy began in 2015, stating this information has been updated
on an ongoing basis and presented to the council, along with Met Council’s goals for multiple
years.
Councilmember Mohamed asked about the 50+ data. Ms. Schnitker stated it is data about
senior designated buildings since 2015. Councilmember Mohamed added this is very
understandable, friendly, and equitable information.
Councilmember Harris thanked the commission for this data projection information. She stated
data is the most important information a city can have. She asked if the data is live yet. Ms.
Schnitker stated it is being worked on and finalized at this time.

noting this data will be able to help.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
Councilmember Rog thanked the commission for this data and the level of detail. She asked
about the room totals of 241 versus 403. Ms. Schnitker stated staff will look into this and
correct the data.
Councilmember Rog stated this data can help staff know which programs are working well and
which need more help. She stated when the next Maxwell Housing Study is conducted, she
hopes that data will not be redundant with this data. Ms. Schnitker explained this study is only
conducted every 5 years and with the volatility of the housing market, it has been difficult to
look at projections.
Councilmember Rog stated this data can help other commissions with their work as well.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she is glad NOAH information is being included and requested
the age of the building be added to make sure it is kept affordable.
Councilmember Rog asked if this refers to broadband access. Mr. Levine stated yes.
Councilmember Rog noted under the service programs, the schools should be included.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the data about Hennepin County noted the biggest issue is
computers for folks. He also asked if that is a bigger issue than broadband, will that be
considered. Mr. Siegler stated yes this will all be taken into consideration along with
infrastructure.
Councilmember Harris asked if there is an opportunity to share this information with the cable
TV station of the city and any eco programming they have. Mr. Peterson stated yes, getting this
out to a larger audience would be helpful, as well as presenting at the home remodeling show.
Councilmember Harris stated this is relevant information and fits in with city goals, as well as
lowering the carbon footprint. She encouraged the commission to share this information with
others. Mr. Pires stated this information can help educate folks in the community to reduce
their plug loads, and this can be shared on cable TV.
Councilmember Kraft stated the overlap with climate and affordable housing might include a
program to help address two issues, with energy efficiencies and lowering the energy burden.
Councilmember Rog stated she is thrilled with the workplan of the commission and the
collaboration with staff and other commissions.
Councilmember Harris agreed adding this is the most activated this commission has been and
supporting staff in multiple divisions.
Mayor Spano agreed with the comments of council adding he is really impressed with the
commission’s work and collaboration with staff.

2. Police advisory commission (PAC) 2-21 workplan review
Chief Harcey introduced PAC members and the committee chair presented the report.
Councilmember Harris asked if there have been any conversations on the commission about
mental health in the community, or residents, and of peacekeeping members. Chair Rozlyn
Tousignant noted the de-escalation information she reported on reflects training for police and
residents and tools used to help reduce calls and deal with mental health crises.
Councilmember Harris asked if there is a partnership with a mental health professional and
police. Lt. Garland stated a social worker partner does work with police and this program will be
used and worked on during the year. Currently, the social worker is working 50% of the time,
receives referrals from the police, and attempts to do follow-up calls with residents.
Councilmember Harris asked if the de-escalation program is for the public at large. Ms.
Tousignant stated yes, adding the general model is typically a full-day training. During COVID, a
two-hour zoom training is offered. Resources are provided for those doing the training, that can
be utilized when in the community.
Councilmember Harris asked if the PAC has the resources needed for their goals. Ms.
Tousignant stated yes, the de-escalation program is funded.
Councilmember Mohamed stated the de-escalation training is good, adding community
members can contribute here also.
Councilmember Brausen thanked the PAC for their work. He stated he hopes soon community
relations events will be back on the calendar as they are important. He added he hopes the PAC
is working with HRC on the summer of action program, noting the George Floyd event was very
well attended and it is important to continue this work with the community. He added the
council wants to continue to interact with the PAC on the use of force policy, and as racial data
is collected to help work on future policies.
Councilmember Rog stated the council has been working with consultant Sean Sorrell this past
year on use of force, defining community safety, and mental health. She wants to make sure
efforts are coordinated around this work and asked staff to be involved here, as well as
improving capacity to work on mental health issues.
Councilmember Rog noted public forums and community events in the report. Chair Tousignant
stated depending on COVID, the PAC is looking at doing events.
Councilmember Rog noted she is frequently asked about city crime trends and if this
information is more easily available for residents and the community. Chief Harcey stated the
police produce a monthly report on crime trends and it compares trends over the last 3 months
and over the last year. He noted auto and catalytic converter thefts are up, as well as mental
health calls and medical calls for overdoses.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
Councilmember Kraft stated the dashboard of data would be a good way to report information
from the PAC to council, as well as analysis from the Chief. Chief Harcey stated the dashboard
could work for the use of force data and crime trends as well. Chair Tousignant added the social
vulnerability data might also be included.
Councilmember Dumalag stated this is a project for a dashboard. She noted, however, the raw
data is helpful, but there needs to be caution on how data is reported so as not to
disenfranchise or perpetuate stereotypes. She asked for more information about the PAC
working with neighborhood cities and their police advisory groups.
Lt. Garland stated Crystal and Bemidji reached out and in all cases the city did tell them they
would be interested in partnering, but nothing has come of it as yet, other than questions
about the PAC. Ms. Christenson added sharing strategies and best practices and brainstorming
was the idea behind that goal.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she also appreciates the idea of de-escalation. She asked if the
mental health group COPE is used with Hennepin County. Chief Harcey stated yes, as well as the
use of a part-time embedded social worker, who follows a short-term case model on mental
health crisis issues. He stated this has been a great partnership, noting Hennepin County has
stated this is the best model at this time with this pilot program partnership. He added the
police would like to consider adding a full-time social worker for next year’s budget.
Mayor Spano asked about hours for a social worker. Chief Harcey stated they flex their hours
for early morning, or evening hours.
Mayor Spano stated he is in favor of working with other cities and collaborating. He asked if
there are any specific areas they are looking to collaborate on. Ms. Christenson stated they
would be most interested on race equity data and taking that to the next step in understanding.
Chair Tousignant agreed, adding this would be helpful information on how neighboring
communities are handling this.
Councilmember Rog asked when the next catalytic converter event would happen. Lt. Garland
stated it would be in July, on the second or third Thursday.
Mr. Kinney noted there are larger issues related to policing that can be discussed and asked the
council what they would like the PAC to work on for policing, as it relates to future police
modeling. Mayor Spano stated this is something the city attorney is looking at related to
varying policing models, and the council is discussing this ongoing, while staff is looking at this
more. He noted while the city’s policing model will not be changing, adding more social workers
and mental health providers would be looked at.
Councilmember Kraft added along with this, the PAC should look at the work that has been
done with the consultant related to use of force, disparities, and mental health.
Councilmember Harris stated addressing mental health concerns is falling into the laps of police
and the PAC. She stated everyone is needed to have a socially connected community. Chief
Harcey thanked the PAC for all their hard work, especially on use of force and with the HRC and
MAC group.

Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
3. 2020 general fund balance/other funding options
Mr. Harmening stated there is a fund balance that will need to be assigned by the council. Ms.
Schmitt stated she would be available to answer questions related to the staff report.
Councilmember Harris asked about a list of funds that earn revenue on an annual basis that has
fluidity. She asked if this was related to parks and if there are funds that have flexibility here
related to park improvement funds and the levy. She noted this had come up in past
discussions adding she wants full transparency on discussions of funds and budgeting. Ms.
Schmitt stated more on this will be presented at the July meeting.
Councilmember Rog asked when the fund balance needs to be decided on. Ms. Schmitt stated it
is best practice to leave 45% unassigned and assign anything above and beyond that.
Councilmember Rog stated the council then would need to go back and look at which fund
would best assist residents, and an investment in one fund might impact another. She added
given the city’s goals, she would have to look at what is the best investment for the city.
Mr. Harmening stated there are some practical things the fund balance can be used for,
including employee development funds which will be short due to retirements this year. Also,
he stated the backstop for inspection fees, and the climate fund also would be funds to look at.
He noted it depends on what the council wants and taking into consideration the 5 strategic
priorities.
Councilmember Brausen stated he supports the policies staff has in place. He added historically,
funding has gone into the capital improvement plan, but they could also go into employee
development, pavement management, and flattening the levy curve, especially as there are
concerns with increases over the next few years.
Councilmember Mohamed stated all the recommendations are practical. She agrees with
Councilmember Rog’s comments and asked what other possibilities might be, such as
affordable housing, climate action, or racial equity. Mr. Harmening stated part of the funds
could be used for affordable housing or other strategic goals. However, he noted there are
already other funding goals for housing from state and federal funding.
Mayor Spano added these are all funds that will lower the debt levy, but he has concerns about
if the city is ever sued, noting the city’s insurance will not cover it, and asked whether a plan for
additional insurance should be looked at. Ms. Schmitt stated the city has standard coverage,
but rates may increase exponentially depending on other pending cases. She stated a large
reserve insurance fund plan could be put into place by council.
Councilmember Dumalag asked historically what the EDA levy has been used for. Ms. Schmitt
stated the city currently does not have an EDA levy but typically an EDA levy is used for
development projects.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she would be interested in dedicated funds for Connect the
Park as well as the other recommendations presented.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
Councilmember Harris noted the EDA levy could be used for climate action. She asked if this
would be used for the Climate Investment Fund presented earlier this year. Mr. Harmening
stated yes, and an EDA levy could be used for this, or another property tax levy.
Councilmember Kraft asked why the fund is so large this year. Ms. Schmitt stated the funds
have carried forward from past years, and a large portion of it came from the Cares Act.
Additionally, she noted the city manager asked staff to cut back on spending during COVID
when operations were not running at full capacity. She also noted some positions were not
back-filled which saved money this past year.
Councilmember Kraft stated going over 3% on the tax levy was a concern this past year, but he
is not opposed to going over that this year. He stated he agrees the employee development
fund is fine, but added he is not in favor of putting money into an insurance fund. He stated he
is interested in trajectory investments related to emissions or race equity. He added an
initiative related to walking and biking/scooters, and putting more into the climate investment
fund.
Councilmember Harris asked if there is a total amount that needs to be assigned. Ms. Schmitt
stated the amounts can shift around depending on priorities.
Councilmember Harris asked if the levy fund projections would remain the same as presented
by staff last year if the council chose not to invest in those funds. Ms. Schmitt stated the largest
years will be 2024 and 2025 due to the large MSA project in 2022 and 2023.
Councilmember Harris asked if the local option sales tax could come to fruition before making
these decisions on allocations. Mayor Spano stated a local option sales tax would be several
years out.
Councilmember Harris stated she would like to use a portion of this to flatten the levy curve
and for Connect the Park. She would like to see an EDA levy to increase affordable housing in
the city. She noted this is a unique gift for the community and she would like to focus on the
climate action plan also.
Mayor Spano stated the insurance funding is important to look at, but this funding is not
suitable for that. He added these funds are best spent on mitigating impacts of the levy. He also
noted the EDA levy created a lot of questions and confusion by the community, and there will
need to be lots of education in the community about it.
Mayor Spano left the meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Kraft led the meeting.
Councilmember Rog stated federal and state funds will be coming for housing. She asked how
much $4 million would lower a levy. Ms. Schmitt stated there is concern about artificially
deflating it, and then having it go up higher in future years.
Councilmember Rog stated many actions can be taken to lower the levy. She added there
seems to be so many unknowns around franchise fees, and she is not interested in investing in
the insurance fund either.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
Councilmember Brausen stated he is in favor of exploring an EDA levy, keeping in mind it
impacts residents and he would like to see impacts here. He stated he would like to see these
resources used for climate action.
Councilmember Harris stated she is interested in an EDA levy for climate action.
Councilmember Dumalag agreed and is interested in an EDA levy for climate action.
Councilmember Rog stated she is interested in an EDA levy for climate action as well. She added
she is also interested in how the public spaces are purchased in the community.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she is interested in an EDA levy as well.
Councilmember Kraft noted he is also interested in an EDA levy and climate action, as well as
what other areas it could be used on.
Mr. Harmening stated an EDA or HRA levy can be used for affordable housing or commercial.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is interested in exploring the local option sales tax further.
He added he does share the concerns on timing and legislative issues.
Councilmember Harris stated she is in favor of exploring the local option sales tax. She added
she is not counting on it as a revenue stream, but she would like to explore it.
Councilmember Dumalag would like to explore the local option sales tax.
Councilmember Rog agreed and would like to explore the local option sales tax as well.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she is interested in exploring the local option sales tax also.
Councilmember Kraft stated it is responsible of the council to investigate the local option sales
tax, and he is interested in it.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is in favor of deferring the federal Cares funding for now.
Councilmember Rog agreed with deferring these funds and wants to be strategic on how the
funds are used.
Mr. Harmening stated staff will provide more information on the EDA levy, information on the
local option sales tax, and can come back with more specific dollar amounts on the fund
balance assignments.

4. Future study session agenda planning and prioritization
Councilmember Brausen stated the June 28 study session agenda looks very robust with the
ESC presenting their workplan. He has concerns about the length of the agenda.
Councilmember Rog asked if there could be a written annual financial report. Mr. Harmening
stated this can be done and the presentation can be moved into July.
Councilmember Brausen noted the Wilder Foundation did a report on food insecurity issues
and one of the recommendations was a task force, which he would like to discuss at a future
study session.
Mr. Harmening stated the chair from STEP could be involved in this discussion as well.
Councilmember Brausen stated a written report could be included.
Councilmember Harris stated a task force on food insecurity is duplicative with STEP, is not a
good use of staff time, and does not seem warranted.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she would like this discussion about the task force, especially
considering COVID and food insecurity issues that may be related.
Councilmember Dumalag added she is also in favor of this discussion and having a task force
would be helpful.
Councilmember Kraft stated he was very underwhelmed by the Wilder report but would be
interested in a short discussion on a task force.
Councilmember Rog stated she wants to have a discussion on the Sherman Associates project.
Mr. Harmening stated at the meeting next week, the council will be approving the TIF for the
project.
Councilmember Rog stated when looking at multi-story parking and thinking about changes in
commuting this last year, she is not convinced the parking is still warranted. Councilmember
Brausen stated it is part of the agreement.
Councilmember Rog stated if it must be built, then she would like to see it proposed to be used
differently in the future.
Councilmember Rog stated she appreciates staff’s creative efforts on this project over the year
and to make the TIF request and the financing work, but she is not happy about using half of
the affordable housing funds for this project. She is also not happy about all the affordable
units being in just one building.
Councilmember Brausen added he also has concerns about the affordable housing not being
included in all 3 buildings. He has concerns about the phasing of the project and especially if
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3a) Page 9
Title: Study session minutes of June 14, 2021
there are any financial problems that come up. He did state, however, he is supportive of TIF if
the developer looks further into these issues.
Councilmember Dumalag stated each building has a different financing structure, and it would
be helpful for her to understand this better. She asked who owns the parking ramp.
Mr. Harmening stated the city received federal funds to have it built, and Sherman will build it,
but the city will own it. He added the city would have a say if parking charges would be added in
the future.

8a. Annual Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program report
Mr. Francis presented the staff report, which was a summary of activities undertaken by
the city in 2020 to meet the city’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit
and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) requirements.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is glad to see enforcement of the illicit discharge
connection and is happy about the pollution prevention activities. He stated he
appreciates this program.
Councilmember Harris stated she noticed the work being done is addressing incidents as
they occur and education, inspection, and prevention. She added there have been more
rain events in the city and flash flooding. She asked about using GPS mapping to show
where flooding happens and asked how this could be created. Mr. Francis stated there is
a model for this, and the city is involved in the community rain system which does
mapping, historical flooding, and helps promote community education.
Councilmember Harris noted the valleys in the community do tend to flood and pointed
out the Minnetonka Avenue and Rhode Island intersection, along with Dakota Avenue.
She asked if the city could reach out to residents in those areas to inform them of this.
Councilmember Rog asked what feedback will be looked for at the nature center
meeting. Mr. Francis stated staff is open to anything residents are interested in asking
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 7
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
about. Councilmember Rog urged staff to communicate this information broadly and
clearly to residents in terms of what feedback is being looked for.
Councilmember Rog asked if there will be online participation opportunities for the
metro blooms event. Mr. Francis stated yes, this will continue as it is easy and
convenient for residents.
Councilmember Rog noted there was a big rain event the night prior and asked if there
were any issues with that. Mr. Francis stated no problems, especially since there
currently is a drought.
Councilmember Rog asked what the city is doing proactively related to climate change
and more flooding issues. Mr. Francis stated they highlight the city’s stormwater models
and accommodate capacity as necessary, plus work with the local watershed.
Councilmember Kraft asked how illicit discharges are detected and are they going up or
down. Mr. Francis stated staff is keeping a lookout for this, and if there is anything
spotted, they can contact city staff. He added there is also a place to do this on the city
app, adding it is an educational effort and there are a lot of residents watching as well.
Councilmember Kraft asked what is most concerning on this project. Mr. Francis stated
all of it is concerning, including stormwater management, making sure we are doing
appropriate public outreach and education, while also meeting requirements.
Councilmember Dumalag asked where the illicit issues are coming from. Mr. Francis
stated most are accidental, but can come from construction sites, and commercial
businesses. He stated they work on doing inspections related to this.
Councilmember Dumalag asked how residents can report a problem with illicit
discharge. Mr. Francis noted they can call the city, or report on the city app, adding staff
does a lot of outreach and it is an ongoing effort.
The public hearing for this item will be August 12, 2021. No action is required at this
time.
Nancy Rose, 3402 Huntington Ave. S. stated she has concerns about public input related
to public waters. She noted the state legislature requires this each calendar year. She is
concerned there is no public input on this issue to evaluate program compliance, and an
assessment of the prior year. She wondered if there was a way to address this by June
30 to be in compliance with state law, because there was no legal notice of this to the
public in 2020. She stated in August of 2021, the public will learn about the program of
2020. Mr. Francis stated the annual report of the city is due to the state on June 30 for
2020. He added it is correct there needs to be one meeting per year, provided
appropriate local public notice requirements are followed, and these notices were
published on December 4th for the December 10th meeting in the Sun Sailor newspaper,
along with social media, city website and calendar, along with neighborhood leaders.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 8
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Mayor Spano stated the December 2020 meeting did address this issue, it was included
in the meeting, and although the city is not required to do a legal notice to the public, a
public notice was communicated.
Mr. Mattick stated he will need to check into what is required for this topic, and then
move forward.
Mayor Spano stated he will ask Mr. Harmening and Mr. Mattick to research this and
report back to the council on what needs to occur to ensure compliance.
8b. Development proposal for 3440 Beltline Blvd. Resolution No. 21-066
Ms. Monson presented the report.
Barb Tomlinson, Browndale neighborhood, stated she is interested in affordable housing
and storm water treatment. She added she is pleased with the affordability of this
project and asked how many 3-bedroom units will be included as the city is in desperate
need of affordable family housing. She is also happy to hear there is a stormwater
treatment system under the structure and hopes to have some educational signage to
increase pollinator habitats in that area. Ms. Monson stated the affordable units are
spread evenly through the building, along with one affordable 3-bedroom unit.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the retail space that is separated and what type
of tenants will be in the project. Mr. Murnane with Opus stated they are working to
identify the two retail spaces, including a restaurant and some smaller shops on the
south side. He stated they will look at what the market dictates.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she is pleased to see the trees and the dog run
included. Mr. Murnane explained that keeping the green space worked well with the
site design and they will want to leave as many trees in that area as possible. He added
the dog run is still being worked on, adding that many renters have dogs these days, so
this was something that lends itself well to the project.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if the amenity space is above the retail. Mr. Murnane
stated this space is a two-level space, the live-work units are at grade, and pointed out
the courtyard access area as well.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the egress for parking. Mr. Murnane stated all
access along 35th Street and the alley, and to the north will be the commercial parking.
He noted there are 3 levels of parking.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if the art included is to shield the parking area. Mr.
Murnane stated yes, this public art will shield the garage and give a nice façade.
Councilmember Dumalag asked for a timeline on the project. Mr. Murnane stated 4th
quarter for groundbreaking and then 2 years of construction.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 9
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the affordability with 10% at 50% AMI and what
is the income level. Ms. Monson stated the income level for a family of 4 is $51,700. Mr.
Murnane added they are working with the city on the TIF process and adding another 3-
bedroom affordable unit.
Councilmember Dumalag asked what the anticipated rent would be for the affordable 3-
bedroom. Mr. Murnane stated it would be about $1,400/month.
Councilmember Dumalag asked who is doing management. Mr. Murnane stated they do
not do their own management and are working with Greco for management, adding
they manage the lease as well.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about Opus and their diversity goals. Mr. Murnane
stated this is very important for Opus and they work with all their subcontractors and
look for as many opportunities as possible.
Mr. Newins stated one of Opus’ core values is stewardship, adding they look for ways to
work with local contractors to fill that gap with minority owners. He stated they work on
being thoughtful as well with education and consulting with a diversity and inclusion
team. They also make donations to groups that do this work, such as Perspectives, as
well as work within their organization to meet diversity goals.
Councilmember Rog asked if this project is approved, will dogs be allowed in all units
and will the dog run be private. Mr. Murnane stated yes to both questions.
Councilmember Rog stated one 3-bedroom unit is promised and that they will try for
more, which is encouraged. She stated that under the updated inclusionary housing
policy this project size requires seven 3-bedroom units and asked at what point in the
approvals process, do inclusionary housing policy requirements begin. Ms. Monson
stated they begin at the time of the zoning application.
Councilmember Rog encouraged the developers to add more 3-bedroom units, stating
they are needed.
Councilmember Harris asked about the amenity space and if any is going to be public.
Mr. Murnane stated the green space around the dog run would be public. Mr. Newins
added the space around the retail space will also be a public patio.
Councilmember Harris thanked the developers for this. She asked about the live-work
spaces and how they were developed. Mr. Newins stated it is really the idea of engaging
the streetscape and creating more energy besides just a retail space.
Councilmember Harris asked staff, given these will be residential and commercial, how
this is navigated within the zoning code. Ms. Monson stated live-work is defined in the
zoning code and regulated by the PUD ordinance for this site. Commercial uses are
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 10
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
allowed depending on how the building is developed, and the ordinance is written
specifically to allow live-work units.
Councilmember Harris asked how parking spaces are counted for live-work. Ms. Monson
stated there is one parking space for each live-work unit, but because transit is coming,
the PUD code will provide flexibility for different uses as times change.
Councilmember Harris asked what kind of demand the developers are seeing for live-
work spaces. Mr. Murnane stated they are seeing strong demand in general. He added
one of the live-work units is also affordable.
Councilmember Mohamed agreed with Councilmember Rog on her comments related
to affordable housing, as well as Councilmember Dumalag’s comments on diversity. She
stated she would love to see more 3-bedroom affordable units at 50% AMI and at 30%
AMI as well.
Councilmember Kraft asked about the stormwater treatment system and if this would
improve the issue with Bass Lake Preserve. Ms. Monson stated yes, noting the
stormwater requirements are much more substantial today than when the existing
building was constructed. The proposed treatment and rate control will help to improve
the conditions at Bass Lake Preserve.
Councilmember Kraft asked about the 100-year flood-plain requirements that were
updated recently. Ms. Monson stated the ones in use today were adopted in 2016 and
even with the new Atlas-14 modeling, the building would still be 2.5 feet above the base
flood elevation, which the DNR requires a minimum of 1 foot.
Councilmember Kraft asked about Opus’ overall commitment on green buildings. Mr.
Newins stated sustainability is very important to Opus adding they are all striving for
more and more. He noted it is about the process of developing a building in a thoughtful
way with low impact on the environment, looking at how little energy can be used, and
how much water can be saved.
Councilmember Kraft encouraged as many level-2 EV stations as possible. He asked
about traffic at the project, noting Park Glen and Beltline seems to be most problematic,
and asked if a traffic light will be added there. Ms. Monson stated a traffic study was
conducted for the site and the left turning movements is less than ideal. She added the
city has always anticipated a light at Park Glen when the Hennepin County site at 4600
Beltline is redeveloped. She stated a traffic light will likely need to be added prior to the
redevelopment of the county’s site so staff will be looking into this, but is not
recommending Opus contribute to the installation.
Councilmember Brausen noted staff and the city are well-aware of the traffic concerns
and staff has been doing the best they can to manage this area.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 11
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Mayor Spano stated he is supportive of the project and added it is appropriate for the
developer to be asked to partner with the city on some of these costs for the light,
especially with the traffic in this area. He encouraged staff to look into this opportunity.
Mayor Spano thanked the developers for the art screening concept, adding he would
like to see more developers do this as well.
It was moved by Councilmember Mohamed, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to
approve first reading of ordinance vacating the slope easement along the west side of
Beltline Blvd. between Park Glen Road and 35th Street West and set the Second Reading
of the Ordinance for July 6, 2021; adopt Resolution No. 21-066 approving the
preliminary and final plat for Industrial Park 4th Addition; approve first reading of
ordinance adding section 36-268-PUD 20 to the zoning code and amending the zoning
map from MX-1 vertical mixed-use to PUD 20; and, set the second reading for July 6,
2021.
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. Parkway Residences planned unit development major amendment
Ms. Monson presented the staff report.
Councilmember Rog stated she attended a public meeting on this and asked for
clarification on the moving of units and adding of parking. Ms. Monson stated the
request is to add parking to alleviate congestion on 31st Street.
Councilmember Rog asked if there is an additional fee added to rent for parking spaces.
Mr. Berg, the architect, stated yes.
Councilmember Harris asked for some pros and cons on the amenity deck being moved
from the roof to the ground floor. Mr. Berg stated there will still be an amenity deck on
the 4th floor and available to all residents.
Councilmember Harris asked if this change was related to solar panels. Mr. Berg stated
that is correct.
Councilmember Harris asked how much energy will be offset. Mr. Berg stated this will
open it up for future solar going forward, but he did not have an exact kilowatt number.
Councilmember Harris asked how many level 2 EV stations will be at the development.
Ms. Monson stated there will be no level 2, but there will be one level 1 EV station,
along with conduit included for future addition of level 2 stations. Mr. Berg added Paz
Sela, the building’s owner, is a huge believer in future electric charging, adding he plans
to have five level 2 chargers ready to go when the development is completed.
Councilmember Harris asked about bicycle parking and where it is located. Mr. Berg
stated in the garage and outside as well.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 12
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Councilmember Dumalag asked for clarification on Phases 1 and 2. Mr. Berg pointed out
the various phases on the map including the affordable and NOAH properties that have
already been constructed and rehabilitated.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Dumalag to approve
first reading of ordinance amending section 36-268-PUD 15 of the zoning code relating
to previous development approvals for Parkway Residences phase III and to set the
second reading for July 6, 2021.
The motion passed 7-0.
8d. Rise on 7 redevelopment project. Resolution No. 21-067, Resolution No. 21-068
Ms. Kramer presented the staff report.
Councilmember Harris thanked the development team for meeting with the
neighborhood and councilmembers. She expressed her thanks to Commonbond and
their work and mission.
Mr. Michaels-Allen, Commonbond, stated Commonbond offers wraparound services
including homework help, navigation of benefits, financial planning, and education
planning.
Councilmember Harris asked for the reasoning behind shifting from RC high density to a
PUD site. Ms. Kramer stated there would need to be approximately 6 variances for
parking, floor area ratio, ground floor area ratio, and various setbacks, so it made more
sense to pursue a PUD rezoning.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the daycare which is 6,600 sq. ft. and the
landscaping requirements. Ms. Kramer stated for urban projects the zoning code
provides for alternative landscaping features to meet the intent of the code, and this
project includes a bio-swale as well as saving many of the trees already on the site’s
west side. She added the tree count depends on the number of dwelling units, and that
is where the majority of the tree count requirement comes from, not from the daycare.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the play areas of the daycare, per the regulatory
requirement of a dedicated fenced in area required by the state. Mr. Michaels-Allen
stated yes, the play areas are completely fenced in.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the mix of affordability from 30% to 80% and if
that is typical for Commonbond developments. Mr. Michaels-Allen stated that depends
on the project and the financing sources. He stated they are doing affordable through
the whole project and will need an average of 50% because they are applying for
bonding.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 13
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Councilmember Dumalag asked if Commonbond owns the site. Mr. Michaels-Allen
stated yes, they purchased the site in February 2021.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the timeline of the project. Mr. Michaels-Allen
stated they would start in October 2021 and be completed in February or March of
2023.
Councilmember Dumalag asked what the obligation lease is for the daycare. Mr.
Michaels-Allen stated it is currently a 10-year lease, but they are waiting on funding and
city council approval before starting negotiations.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if the daycare is affordable. Mr. Michael-Allen stated
yes, and it will be offered to residents first. He added Commonbond will be managing
the development and will also include wraparound services with a full-time employee.
He confirmed that all services are done in-house.
Councilmember Dumalag asked about the diversity and equity focus of Commonbond
and any targeted focus. Ms. Lawn stated her position was added at Commonbond to
address their anti-racist equity programs and goals. She stated affordable housing is for
families who need housing in the communities they want to live in, and not only families
of color. She added they work for families to have a voice at the table, as well as doing
staff training for working with residents. Ms. Lawn stated this is all a work in progress, as
well as looking at best practices on addressing racial and equitable goals.
Councilmember Harris stated she is receiving an education on company cultures this
evening. She stated Commonbond is advanced in their approach of racial equity, and
thanked Ms. Lawn for her comments.
Councilmember Rog explained in 2018 a young man was killed crossing Highway 7,
walking to Knollwood Mall, noting there have been some measures implemented to
deter folks from crossing there, but it will still be tempting. She asked about this issue.
Ms. Kramer stated some improvements have been made along Texas Avenue, but there
are not any additional improvements planned for the near future.
Ms. Lawn stated they do talk to their residents about safety measures, and because
there are volunteers and programs on-site, there will be additional partners involved in
working with residents on safety measures.
Councilmember Rog asked about the stained-glass windows and if they will be
preserved. Mr. Michaels-Allen stated the agreement with the congregation is that they
will give them 90 days’ notice to remove the stained glass before demolition. He stated
if the seller does not want to do this, they are looking into other measures for
preserving them.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is supportive of this. He asked if the changes made were
to address changes on landscaping and shadowing from neighbors there. Ms. Kramer
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 14
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
stated the main change was the increased setback of 25 feet which allowed for less
shadowing and more landscaping.
Councilmember Kraft noted increased traffic on the frontage road and asked if that is a
concern. Ms. Kramer stated staff looked at this and did an initial analysis, but it did not
meet the threshold for a full traffic study. She stated the only traffic impacted is
eastbound going north, adding these are MSA roads that can accommodate increased
traffic.
Councilmember Kraft noted the solar ray on the roofs, adding he is happy to see this in
conjunction with affordable housing. He asked if the solar ray is as large as it could be.
Mr. DuPuis from Kaas Wilson Architects stated the size was determined by experience
on past projects and the 20 KW was settled on. Councilmember Kraft noted, if possible,
he would like to see this at a bit higher level.
Councilmember Kraft asked if items will be deconstructed and recycled when the
building is demolished. Mr. DuPuis stated this is part of their green building policy
requirements and will be explored and documented.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is concerned about noise from Highway 7
northbound traffic. He asked if soundproofing will be considered. Mr. DuPuis stated yes
this will be investigated.
Mayor Spano noted to staff he continues to see people crossing Highway 7 unsafely. He
stated the city needs to have a conversation with MnDOT about making improvements
in their roadway.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is on the board of a Commonbond project for his
church, serving in a volunteer capacity, and is familiar with their work. He noted this is a
wonderful intersection of faith partners in the community to create more affordable
housing, Commonbond is going to be a tremendous asset to the community, and he will
support the project.
It was moved by Councilmember Dumalag, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to
adopt Resolution No. 21-067 approving the amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan future land use plan map, as well as related figures, tables, and text; adopt
Resolution No. 21-068 approving the preliminary and final plat for Rise on 7 Addition;

City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 15
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
Councilmember Harris stated the proximity of the location is across an alley from a
resident. Mr. Morrison stated it is in the Texatonka mall across from a service drive.
Councilmember Harris asked what the consideration is for nuisance. Mr. Morrison
stated the barking was noted as a possible nuisance for uses like doggie daycares,
however, for uses such as grooming while there are dogs, there are usually not many all
at one time.
Councilmember Harris asked about possible mitigations in the future. Mr. Morrison
stated mitigations would fall on the tenant to install acoustics measures. He noted there
are no windows in the back of the building, and most noise will be in the front of the
building.
Mr. Kohler with Paster Properties stated this will be veterinary clinics as well as dog
groomers and will be quieter uses versus a doggie daycare.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to
approve the first reading of an ordinance amending chapter 36 pertaining to the animal
handling uses and set second reading for July 6, 2021.
The motion passed 7-0.
8f. Accept work and authorize final payment in the amount of $6,637.44 for
project no. 4020-1101, which is the Monterey-Beltline-36th phase 1
improvement project with Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc., contract no. 61-
20. Resolution No. 21-069
Councilmember Brausen stated he wanted to bring this forward to point out the work
was done at the intersection of Monterey and Park Center Drive, which has been less
functional and now finally reworked to be better for all. He also stated the cost came in
at 5% under the estimate, which is a great testament to staff and Thomas and Sons,
Construction. He stated it is important to note when staff is accurate with estimates and
diligent to get things done and he appreciates this.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to adopt
Resolution No. 21-069 accepting work and authorizing final payment in the amount of
$6,637.44 for project no. 4020-1101, which is the Monterey-Beltline-36th phase 1
improvement project with Thomas and Sons Construction, Inc. contract no. 61-20.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Mayor Spano honored Ms. Solano for her work at the city and wished her well on behalf of the
city and council, as this is her last meeting, and she is moving to another position in a different
city.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3b) Page 16
Title: City council meeting minutes of June 21, 2021
The councilmembers each commented on how they will miss Ms. Solano and her work for the
city, while wishing her all the best in her new position at the city of Plymouth.
Mr. Harmening stated he is very proud of Ms. Solano, noting there is a need for more women
and women of color in this field. He knows her ambition is to be a city manager some day and
her new position is one she could not pass up. He praised her work, her attitude, and wished
her the best of luck.
Ms. Solano stated it has been an honor and a joy to work at the city and with the council and
she thanked them.
Councilmember Brausen stated the council all participated in the Parktacular activities last
week and thanked the committee for their work on this.

Guests: Marissa Bayer, Chair, Environment & Sustainability Commission
1. Environment and sustainability commission 2021 work plan review
Commissioner Marisa Bayer, ESC Chair, presented the report and goals for 2021.
Councilmember Harris asked what the biggest opportunity is this year for the commission.
Commissioner Bayer stated one-on-one engagement is the biggest opportunity sharing and
engaging with fellow commission members, businesses, and the community.
Councilmember Harris asked what the strategies are for engaging with businesses. Ms. Ziring
stated that Annie Pottorff has mapped out each business within each ward and staff is planning
a September-October business blitz. She added they will ask councilmembers to join them to
assist in communicating with businesses on climate action during the business blitz.
Councilmember Kraft stated he would like to accompany the commission as they meet with
businesses. He asked if there are any concerns with being able to do both residential and
business engagement. Commissioner Bayer stated she did not see it as an issue, adding they
will work at events and reach out to organizations and businesses.
Councilmember Kraft asked what the goal is in reaching out to residents. Commissioner Bayer
stated the priority is promoting home energy audits to help residents learn how their home
uses energy and to share energy assistance programs with residents.
Councilmember Kraft referenced the recent heat, stating we are clearly in a climate emergency.
He noted soon there will be a transition away from natural gas. He asked if the ESC is thinking
about this with their resident outreach. Commissioner Bayer stated yes and pointed out that
with recent legislation, there will be new opportunities and incentives for residents to change
out their appliances and make upgrades to all-electric equipment.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 2
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
Councilmember Kraft asked the ESC to push the council on how to do things that are
transformative and get additional businesses involved. He added the council heard from CTAC
and noted they are doing a study on plug loads. He asked if this could tie in with ESC work,
perhaps looking at conserving energy in affordable housing. He also stated there are some
cities where neighborhoods are implementing climate action plans, and with the strong
neighborhood associations in St. Louis Park, he would like to see similar ideas here.
Councilmember Brausen stated he appreciated the ESC working toward personal engagement
this year after COVID prevented it last year. He stated he is hopeful there will be monies in the
budget to direct to additional climate action plan activities, especially to get the most payback
on carbon reductions in both residential and commercial areas.
Ms. Ziring stated the largest percentage of emissions come from commercial buildings so those
properties are the focus for the first phase of the climate champions program.
Councilmember Dumalag also noted CTAC’s presentation and their dashboard, adding it would
be helpful for the ESC to have a dashboard as well. She added the most effective way to
approach commercial properties and multi-tenant buildings may be through the Building
Owners and Managers Association (BOMA). She added they are always looking for ways to be
more energy efficient since they pass these costs on to tenants. She also noted a funding source
called PACE that can help with funding projects for capital improvements.
Mr. Hoffman added the city is sponsoring legislation for an assessment program similar to PACE
and will report back to council as this progresses.
Councilmember Rog noted the ESC partnering with other commissions is a good plan, adding
the HRC would be a good partner for the ESC. She stated the more climate action and equity
are tied together, the better. She also noted neighborhood food truck events that are upcoming
where the ESC can meet with residents one-on-one.
Councilmember Mohamed added part of the ESC education could be to work with low-income
families, as well as immigrant families, to inform them about climate action and equity issues.
Councilmember Brausen encouraged the city to use the community engagement vehicle for
additional ways to reach out to residents on climate action issues, perhaps at the food truck
events.
Mayor Spano stated he liked the ESC’s focus of their work plan, with a lot of ideas, energy, and
passion, and commended the commission for staying focused on their objectives.
2. Creating pathways to homeownership for BIPOC individuals and families pilot
program
Ms. Schnitker and Ms. Olson presented the report.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 3
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
Councilmember Rog thanked staff and the community for this project and investment in
homeownership. She stated the Twin Cities has the 3rd highest gap for black homeowners in the
United States and only 1% of homes are owned by black families in St. Louis Park. She agreed
with the criteria for first generation home buyers and the approach to wealth-building that is
included in the city’s pilot program. She has concerns for the program in the current market
and asked staff for their thoughts.
Ms. Schnitker stated they did not anticipate today’s market when they developed the pilot
program, noting they will watch and make changes as needed.
Councilmember Rog stated there is an opportunity with this program to focus on townhomes
and condos, to help make the program work with alternatives to houses. Ms. Schnitker agreed,
especially since homes in St. Louis Park are very expensive currently.
Councilmember Rog stated she also liked the fact that programs could be layered with other
programs in place. She asked if the city has any control or influence on the new townhomes
being built in the city on Minnetonka Boulevard and how that might be done. Ms. Barton stated
yes, the city could save a certain amount of those units for folks within this program. Ms.
Schnitker added there could be some modification done and plans are being explored to set
aside a unit or two in this development for buyers utilizing the Wealth Building homeownership
program.
Councilmember Rog stated folks with kids participating in the Kids in the Park Program would
be good candidates for the program. She asked if the EDA levy fund could be directed towards
this program. Ms. Barton stated no, they are for business subsidy only. Mr. Harmening noted
the HRA levy could be used here though.
Councilmember Rog asked why CCE is the lender. Ms. Olson stated the city has worked with
them for over 16 years on loan programs, and they are also a MN housing approved agency and
do the current down payment assistance plan and are non-profit. She added the city has had a
very good working relationship with them, and they are set up for this type of work, while their
fees are low, and they service the loans also.
Councilmember Mohamed asked about the financial assistance figures and if the loan also
depends on the buyer’s income. Ms. Olson stated yes, and the city would look at the level of
affordability depending on the buyer’s income, the level of subsidy, and the lower the income,
the greater the subsidy.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if there are any other plans to cover gaps for families who
need larger homes. Ms. Olson stated this is difficult, and part of the issue is balancing, and
finding a larger home is a challenge, and then at a higher price, it is not affordable.
Ms. Schnitker added there are some homeowner programs around the Twin Cities that do not
have a limit, so St. Louis Park can look further at this as it is a pilot program.
Councilmember Mohamed also pointed out that as a Muslim, she would not be able to accept a
traditional loan that has interest, so for this pilot program to address this issue is amazing. She
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 4
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
asked about classes and how homebuyers would find out about this. Ms. Olson stated the city
can give ideas and help, noting other organizations have programs as well, and the city will
assist people with finding these other options.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if there will be a time limit on the loan application and
approval process. Ms. Schnitker stated yes there will be time limits and details are still being
worked through.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if there might be a collaboration effort with climate-friendly
initiatives. Ms. Schnitker stated yes, this could be looked at also.
Councilmember Harris asked how family is defined for this program. Ms. Schnitker stated a
family is of 1 or more household members.
Councilmember Harris stated with no interest, there is wealth-building which she approves of.
She stated this feels like an olive branch in reconciling with our land history. She asked about
lending institutions and lending to BIPOC families. Ms. Schnitker stated they are working with
Trent Bowman, a lender who is very involved in the metro community and addressing the
homeowner gap. She added he has offered to reach out to other lenders for the city and help
promote the program to lenders who serve the BIPOC populations.
Councilmember Harris asked about proactively identifying homes that fit into this program. Ms.
Schnitker stated they will work with realtors on this program, as they work with clients, along
with the organizations that work with potential homebuyer clients. Councilmember Harris
pointed out the Amherst Townhomes as appropriate for the program.
Councilmember Harris asked if there is a goal for the number of families to be assisted each
year. Ms. Schnitker stated 4-6 families and possibly more in the future.
Ms. Olson stated folks interested in the pilot program can call her at 952-924-2196, and there is
information on the city website also.
Councilmember Harris asked if a video could be created on the program. Ms. Schnitker stated
yes, this can be investigated.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if the program considers association fees on affordability. Ms.
Olson stated no and are following the way the Met Council does this. Ms. Barton added the first
mortgage lender will take this into consideration, however.
Councilmember Dumalag asked what happens if a homeowner defaults on the first mortgage.
Ms. Barton stated the city would be the second mortgage holder, and the city could buy the
first mortgage, but the city could risk losing that money.
Councilmember Dumalag asked if there are contingencies and if all improvements have been
made. Ms. Olson stated the home will be inspected at point of sale.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
Councilmember Dumalag asked if there is a right of first refusal. Ms. Schnitker stated this can
be looked at.
Councilmember Brausen stated he likes the program, and his only concern is the homeowner
gets the equity the city puts in, plus their own equity, and while it is a pilot program, he would
be interested in seeing a shared equity program in order to be able to provide more than 4-6
homes per year. He also would like to see savings incentives for energy as well.
Councilmember Kraft asked about national data and moderate amounts not doing so much.
Ms. Schnitker stated moderate amounts will open it up to a fair number of individuals to
purchase a home, so capping this at 80% or below, they need to go above those moderate
incomes to give more folks an opportunity.
Councilmember Kraft asked what the homeownership rate and gap is in St. Louis Park. Ms.
Olson stated based on 2019 ACS data, overall ownership is 56%, while 63% of white households
are homeowners. She noted also that households of color owners are at 21% and black owners
are at 8% homeowner. She noted also the further it is broken down, the higher the margin of
error.
Councilmember Kraft asked about the upper limit of $352,000, and where that comes from. Ms.
Olson stated that is the limit MN Housing uses for their first-time homeowner programs.
Councilmember Kraft asked about the family of 6-7 looking for a larger home. Ms. Olson stated
increasing the home purchase limit for larger families can be explored. She continued that
income limits would be adjusted higher for larger families, as the income listed is adjusted for a
family of 4. She added they worked with the figures used by Met Council for household size.
Councilmember Kraft asked what success will look like for the pilot program. Ms. Schnitker
stated having the program utilized for families and households, first generation buyers and the
majority being BIPOC families and that they can be successful in sustaining homeownership.
Councilmember Kraft noted keeping energy bills down will be helpful for building income also.
He asked if this program is the first of its kind. Ms. Schnitker stated Roseville is doing a program
focused on 1st generation buyers, but the financial assistance provided by the St. Louis Park
program is unique and innovative.
Councilmember Kraft asked if there is an opportunity to partner with a foundation, and they
can learn with the city and provide matching funds, and then help others across the country.
Ms. Schnitker noted the state of MN is talking about setting aside funds for a program such as
this.
Councilmember Kraft stated this is part of an overall strategy for affordable housing and can
help us change the supply in St. Louis Park, so there are more opportunities for first-time home
buyers.
Councilmember Rog agreed with Councilmember Kraft’s comments. She noted out of state
rental ownership and stated there might be opportunities to create policy here and reclaim.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
She asked if a larger family with need for a higher valued home and could combine multiple
programs to afford a home. Ms. Barton stated yes, this could help, and can be looked further
into.
Councilmember Rog stated this may seem like free money but with all due respect, many
received free labor for generations from black people in this country, and reparations are in
order. She stated St. Louis Park will be a leader, adding she does not see this as free money at
all, but money that is owed.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she will support this program but asked for more support for
larger families that want to be homeowners.
Mayor Spano thanked staff for their work on this program. He asked about the partners the city
will be working with. Ms. Schnitker stated there are many programs that provide education for
families to build wealth and attain home ownership, and the city will continue to work with
these groups. She added these groups have the clientele to make this program work. Ms.
Barton added the city is doing very strategic marketing to reach the appropriate groups.
Mayor Spano asked if the pilot can be reviewed in 1 year or 2 years. Ms. Schnitker stated it will
be reviewed ongoing but after 1 year, staff will definitely want to check in with council on the
success of the program.
Mayor Spano stated homeowners will need to qualify for financing and asked what this will look
like. Ms. Olson stated the organizations the city is working with is getting these households
ready for homeownership and focusing on disparities in home ownership. She added the whole
goal is to get folks ready and qualified before the process of buying begins.
Mayor Spano stated he is happy with the process in place now and the pilot program. He stated
success will be when one of these families is able to save $10,000 and give that to their child to
put a down payment on a house. He stated this will assist BIPOC families in creating
homeownership, which is the single greatest wealth creator this country has ever seen.
Councilmember Dumalag added she would like to hear back from staff who takes a chance on
these homeowners, in allowing them a primary mortgage.
3. Elections 2021 updates and strategic overview
Ms. Kennedy presented the report.
Councilmember Harris asked if the social vulnerability map was added to the analysis maps on
race equity that were shown. Mr. Sund stated staff continues to analyze using various data sets,
noting the goal is to be able to identify patterns that will better help us understand where gaps
exist and why.
Councilmember Harris asked related to positive voter engagement, if staff has seen voter
champions of any kind. Ms. Kennedy stated this program began in the city in 2019, and
ambassadors were also election leaders. She added staff continues to explore and evaluate
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
these types of programs to ensure that resources are being dedicated to areas that have the
most need and greater opportunity for impact.
Councilmember Harris asked if a map could be created for positive voter engagement, and help
people imagine themselves in it. Ms. Kennedy stated yes, this could be created and looked at
and measured over time.
Councilmember Harris asked if dashboards will be used to measure data over time. Ms.
Kennedy stated yes, there is an opportunity to present data via dashboards to show trends over
time. The key is to present data that is meaningful and easy for people to understand.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the geo-enable data was adjusted for density of a certain area.
Mr. Sund stated yes, that is an important component of understanding the data.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is surprised race was not shown as a factor, even though it may
be a factor. Ms. Kennedy stated the data doesn’t definitively say it is not a factor, it just wasn’t
one of the most recognizable gaps. She noted once the updated census data is received, this
could shift, and other gaps may become more definitive.
Councilmember Kraft noted comments staff made about closing the gap in engagement for
voters in multi-family housing through building sustainable relationships and creating a sense of
belonging, and that this is a community issue, not only an elections issue. He suggested the
council and staff could possibly hold listening sessions and group events to start to build
relationships. Ms. Kennedy agreed that could be one way to start creating relationships and
noted going to places in the community where people are already gathering has been
extremely effective because that is where people are more likely to interact through less formal
conversations. For many people that setting is less intimidating than coming to a city meeting
on a specific topic.
Councilmember Kraft asked how much staff is involved with schools and their communication
resources to reach people living in multi-family housing. Ms. Kennedy stated elections staff is as
involved as they can be. She noted elections staff did make a request through district
leadership for more collaboration on communications initiatives, specifically asking them to
share the city’s social media postings regarding elections. She noted the district’s staff is willing
to share some information within their network, but not all and they are still working through
that to see if more opportunities exist to communicate with district families. Councilmember
Kraft noted he is happy to help in any way with this connection with schools.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is so impressed with Ms. Kennedy’s and Mr. Sund’s work and
how they came together to work on the election in 2020.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if council workers are allowed to be election judges. Ms.
Kennedy stated as long as the councilmember is not on the ballot.
Councilmember Mohamed asked if the election staff will conduct mobile voting in 2021. Ms.
Kennedy stated that was done as a pilot project in 2019. The city received mixed opinions from
other agencies on the project and given some of those barriers and the volume of resources
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 8
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
required to make it work within the framework of current election law, it won’t be offered this
year. Councilmember Mohamed stated she liked that the election went to the people, adding it
was helpful, especially for first time voters. Ms. Kennedy agreed, noting hopefully in the future
the legislature will further expand early voting laws to make this type of service more feasible.
Councilmember Rog commented on the challenge of gaining access to multi-family housing to
conduct outreach and asked if it would be possible to include in rental license agreements a
requirement that elections outreach be allowed and facilitated by management. Ms. Kennedy
stated that would be a question for the city attorney and staff could look into this further.
Councilmember Rog stated she appreciates Mr. Sund’s videos but seems to receive them
piecemeal. She continued if she received those videos more regularly, she would post them to
her social media. Ms. Kennedy stated every Tuesday, there is an elections-themed post on the
city’s social media accounts, and they have received a lot of positive feedback response. Mr.
Sund stated the first Tuesday of each month the post includes a video. The posts will show up
more regularly in a person’s feed the more they interact with the city’s social media accounts.
Councilmember Rog expressed concern that voters cannot request their ballot online this year
and asked about early voting applications and how they can be distributed. Mr. Sund stated
these are provided in the candidate tool kit and more can be provided at any time upon
request.
Councilmember Rog noted the next time there is a council/school board meeting, there should
be discussion about how to work together on elections and election preparations.
Councilmember Brausen noted the community engagement vehicle could be used for elections
also, in combination with an event. Mr. Sund stated elections staff is likely one of the top users
of the community engagement vehicle and routinely brings it to events.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the elections group has enough financial resources to get their
work completed. Ms. Kennedy stated yes, to maintain current service levels. Elections staff
appreciate that they have resources to be able to provide high-level core administrative
services, as well as the special projects that allow staff to better understand the needs of voters
and design programs and services that will be impactful. She noted St. Louis Park is a model for
other communities.
Mayor Spano thanked elections staff for the great work they are doing and noted that they are
routinely looked at by other agencies as a model for services and outreach.
4. Future study session agenda planning and prioritization
Mr. Harmening asked if, at the July 12 study session, the council would like the auditor to do a
presentation. Mayor Spano stated yes. Councilmember Harris stated she would like to have this
presentation as well. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the council to have the
report presented, if the auditor is available.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3c) Page 9
Title: Study session minutes of June 28, 2021
Councilmember Kraft noted he would like to have a meeting scheduled with the council and the
school board soon. He added the policing next steps item would be good to hear about soon as
well. Mayor Spano and Councilmember Mohamed agreed.
Mayor Spano stated there should be a discussion related to city facilities soon also.
Councilmember Rog noted on the community sidewalks combined with Connect the Park, this
should be included on an upcoming discussion. Additionally, she noted the Westwood Hills
access funds discussion, as well as the semi-truck parking ordinance, adding she hoped it can
come forward in July for approval.
Communications/meeting check-in (verbal)
Mayor Spano noted the recent events at Wat Prom, and with more activities happening in the
city, it might be helpful to have a city permit one-stop shop for folks doing events.
Councilmember Harris noted a neighbor in the Wat Prom area mentioned the parking situation
and could this be addressed with the event providing a discount ticket for a beverage as
incentive to park across Highway 100 at the synagogue.
Mayor Spano noted the St. Louis Park Education Foundation is interested in a councilmember
joining their board in a liaison position.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

Executive Director Margaret Ganyo, Citizens Independent Bank President and CEO Brad
Bakken, Discover St. Louis Park Executive Director Becky Bakken, Park Nicollet

will be the interim city manager until Ms. Keller assumes her role.
Mayor Spano added Ms. Keller’s background and her ideas and imagination led her to
the top of the list of candidates.
Councilmember Kraft added he was impressed with staff’s work and the process and
enjoyed getting to know all the candidates, adding in many ways Mr. Harmening will be
an extremely hard act to follow. He added, however, Mr. Harmening will also be a great
act to follow, adding staff and former councils have put the city out front with
approaches to equity, climate change, policing and affordable housing. He stated St.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3d) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 6, 2021
Louis Park can be an example to others while keeping basic city services running
effectively. He stated Ms. Keller stood out with her depth of experiences and systemic
thinking, and he looks forward to this next chapter.
Councilmember Brausen thanked Ms. Keller and stated he looks forward to working
with her.
Councilmembers Rog and Dumalag welcomed Ms. Keller to the community as well.
Mayor Spano also noted comments by Councilmember Mohamed, who was absent.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 21-074 appointing Kimberly R. Keller as city manager subject to the
terms and conditions of the employment contract.
The motion passed 5-0 (Councilmembers Mohamed and Harris absent).
Ms. Keller made comments, noting she is humbled, honored, and excited to take on this
role in St. Louis Park. She is excited to join a community that is committed to being a
leader in sustainability, youth engagement, race equity, and employee well-being,
adding she brings experience leading in local government, navigating complexity, and
showing up for people first and foremost. She also has a lot to learn, and looks forward
to learning from the team, adding their relationship will be built on respect, good
governance, and the values of the city.
Ms. Keller stated as a leader she makes commitments every day, including listening for
understanding, operating with integrity, and showing up every day. She feels strongly
about these values in St. Louis Park, and has family that live in the city. She again
thanked the council and Mr. Harmening for their support and guidance.
8b. First reading of semi-truck parking ordinance
Ms. Heiser presented the staff report.
Mayor Spano noted Councilmember Mohamed previously asked how a semi-truck is
moved, if needed. Mr. Harmening stated the city has a towing contract with Bobby and
Steves that has a provision that they have equipment that is capable to tow a semi-truck
and will have a place to tow it to. He noted provisions are in place, if needed.
Mayor Spano also shared comments provided by Councilmember Mohamed, noting
after careful thought she will support this ordinance. He added initially she was
concerned about disturbing the livelihoods of BIPOC and working families, but after
more thought realized the semi-trucks should not be parking in areas where they might
harm their surrounding areas. He added Councilmember Mohamed felt it is too
congested on the CSAH 25 Avenue service road and there should not be semi-truck
parking there.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 3d) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 6, 2021
Councilmember Rog stated semi-trucks carry items and goods and need a place to park,
and she understands this. She added, however, this is a challenge that needs a solution,
noting there have been safety, aesthetic, economic, and health impacts, with idling. She
stated Minneapolis is looking at an ordinance as well, noting legislation has been
introduced in the US House to allocate $775 million to expand trucking parking
nationwide with bipartisan support. She stated this ordinance meets the city’s strategic
priorities, is thoughtful, responsive, and she is in support of it.
Mayor Spano added it is right to take steps to mitigate the health impacts for neighbors.
It was moved by Councilmember Rog, seconded by Councilmember Kraft, to approve first
reading of an ordinance regarding general parking and set second reading for August 2,
2021.
The motion passed 5-0 (Councilmembers Mohamed and Harris absent).

Title: Retirement recognition Tom Harmening
Resolution No. 21-____
Resolution of the
City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota
recognizing the contributions and expressing appreciation to
City Manager Tom Harmening
Whereas, Thomas K. Harmening began his employment with the City of St. Louis Park 26
years ago on April 3, 1995, as community development director, where he was closely involved
in the $160 million-dollar premier revitalization project at Excelsior and Grand, among other
community renewal efforts and significant redevelopment and housing initiatives; and
Whereas, in the life cycle of a city, a handful of decisions become pivot points between
what was and what will be and mark whether a city will be dominated by its history or chart a
new path, and the city council has only a few opportunities to really impact the future of its
community; and
Whereas, the city council’s hiring of Tom as city manager in 2004 marked one of those pivot
points, changing the trajectory of St. Louis Park for the better through his leadership and
commitment to the basic principle of public service – that it is the responsibility of government
to be responsive and transparent to those it serves; and
Whereas, since becoming city manager Tom has led the community through important
milestones including visionary redevelopment at the West End and implementation of a variety
of groundbreaking efforts including the city’s climate action plan; intentional race equity and
inclusion efforts and affordable housing policies and initiatives; and
Whereas, Tom has positively affected the lives of residents, businesses and visitors to the
community through his leadership and his support for community partnerships, and served as a
tireless advocate for the community, which has included involvement in approval and
construction of Southwest Light Rail Transit; reconstruction of Highway 100; achievement of
the city’s AAA bond rating; two successful community visioning initiatives; EPA approval of an
updated 30-year consent decree for the Reilly Tar & Chemical Corp. site; and renovation,
construction or reconstruction of all city facilities, including the new interpretive center at
Westwood Hills Nature Center; and
Whereas, Tom’s unparalleled commitment to excellence in government has earned the
respect of city council and city staff, and has resulted in what he described as his most
significant accomplishment of an intentional and ongoing focus on internal culture that has led
to a high-functioning organization with outstanding staff who bring innovation, creativity and
dedication to their work in serving St. Louis Park; and
Whereas, Tom has not yet determined exactly what post-city-manager life will look like but
plans to make sure his time on the golf course, on his boat or with his family are given the
attention they deserve;
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: Retirement recognition Tom Harmening
Now therefore be it resolved that the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
by this resolution and public record, would like to thank Tom Harmening for his great
contributions and 26 years of dedicated service to the City of St. Louis Park and 39 years of
public service and wish him the best in his retirement.

Executive summary
Title: Second reading of semi-truck parking ordinance
Recommended actions: Motion to approve second reading and adopt Ordinance regarding
general parking and approve the summary ordinance for publication.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to have the authority to restrict semi-trucks from
parking in non-residential areas?
Summary: On May 24, 2021, the city council discussed semi-truck parking across the city during
a study session (see attached study session topic request). At the study session, the council
directed staff to produce an ordinance granting the city the authority to restrict semi-trucks
from parking in non-residential areas. This direction was in response to resident and business
concerns brought to council members.
Generally, under the current city zoning code, no motor vehicle, recreational vehicle,
commercial vehicle, or trailer can park in any residential district. There are no similar large
vehicle restrictions in areas zoned commercial, business park, industrial, office, mixed-use, or
park and open space.
The draft ordinance allows the city to restrict parking for semi-trailers, truck tractors, or other
vehicles that are heavier than 12,000 pounds.
Financial or budget considerations: Implementation of truck restriction signage is estimated to
be $300 per post and will come out of the general operating budget. Signs can last on the street
for approximately 10 years. The cost to enforce these restrictions will also come out of the
general operating budget.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

Title: Second reading of semi-truck parking ordinance
Discussion
Background: On May 24, 2021, the city council discussed semi-truck parking across the city
during a study session (see attached study session topic request). At the study session, the
council directed staff to produce an ordinance granting the city the authority to restrict semi-
trucks from parking in non-residential areas. This direction was in response to resident and
business concerns brought to council members.
Existing parking restrictions: Under the current city code, no vehicle shall be parked in the
same place for more than 48 hours (Sec. 30-153). Non-trucks also shall not be parked in public
alleys, while trucks can be parked for up to 30 minutes to load or unload materials (Sec. 30-
155).
Under the current city zoning code, no motor vehicle, recreational vehicle, commercial vehicle,
or trailer shall be permitted to stand or park in any residential district (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-
C) that exceed any of the following (Sec. 36-162.f.1):
a)Height of 8 feet
b)Length of 22 feet
c)Empty weight of 6,500 pounds
There are no similar large vehicle restrictions in areas zoned commercial, business park,
industrial, office, mixed-use, or park and open space.
Existing truck parking concerns: On May 4, 2020, the city council considered parking
restrictions along the south County Road 25 Service Road west of France Avenue (report
attached). Among other concerns, residents and business owners felt that the presence of
trucks caused safety concerns and was a nuisance.
In addition to the location mentioned above, the following locations have also been brought to
council members or staff with similar concerns in the last year.
•Oxford Street west of Louisiana Avenue
•35th Street and Raleigh Avenue
•North County Road 25 Service Road east of Ottawa Avenue
Existing trucking industry considerations: A 2019 Minnesota Department of Transportation
study cited several factors that contribute to truck parking demand, including:
•More trucks – In the past ten years, overall tonnage carried by trucks increased 24
percent.
•Hours of service – Increased limitations on the consecutive hours a truck driver can
drive.
•Electronic logging devices – Federal law required trucking operations to shift from a
paper to an electronic logbook.
•Productivity expectations – Rising customer expectations for delivery times and an
increasingly cost-competitive marketplace have pressured truck drivers’ decisions.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 4c) Page 3
Title: Second reading of semi-truck parking ordinance
The terms of federal commercial driver licenses have several hours-of-service regulations to
ensure public safety by preventing driver fatigue. Some of the relevant restrictions include:
•An 11-hour limit within a 14 consecutive hour period
•An 8 consecutive hour driving limit with a 30-minute break required before or after this
limit
•A 10 consecutive hour break prior to any 14 consecutive hour driving period
•A 34 consecutive hour reset period each week
Due to these regulations, many drivers prefer to park their trucks near their homes and/or near
where they pick up or drop off loads. This helps maximize the amount of time they can be
driving with loads.
The farther drivers must go to find parking, the more likely they are to be near or past their
hours-of-service limit, which can affect a driver’s level of alertness. Traveling greater distances
to find parking also results in more vehicle miles traveled (VMT) which also includes traffic
congestion, fuel consumption, and emissions.
Race equity considerations: There is a relatively low barrier of entry to form a small carrier
business by purchasing as few as 1 or 2 vehicles. This has led many immigrants and people from
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities to start their own trucking
businesses. The US Department of Labor estimates that 40% of truck drivers are from BIPOC
communities. Study and outreach performed by the City of Minneapolis have shown that many
Twin Cities truck drivers are from East African immigrant communities though they have been
unable to find specific demographic information.
Enforcement considerations: Enforcement of the ordinance will be done through using license
plate and other identifying information. Generally, commercial vehicles have information listed
on their license plate or other parts of the vehicle, including weight or maximum carrying
capacity. This method of enforcement is consistent with the City of Minneapolis who will
enforce a similar ordinance through their Regulatory Services Department.
St. Louis Park ordinance: The draft ordinance allows the city to restrict parking for semi-trailers,
truck tractors, or other vehicles that are heavier than 12,000 pounds. The ordinance also
includes vehicles whose main function is to tow other vehicles.
In practice, restrictions would be similar to existing parking restrictions and would be assigned
to entire street segments or specific sides of streets.
The attached ordinance has a minor change from the one presented at first reading. Section 2
(effective ordinance date) was modified to reflect the 15-day requirement in the city’s charter.
City of Minneapolis truck restrictions: The City of Minneapolis plans to restrict some forms of
truck parking on all city streets. Specifically, their restrictions will include:
•Restricting parking for trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 pounds or more in
any residential zoning district or residential combination district, including office
residential districts.
City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 4c) Page 4
Title: Second reading of semi-truck parking ordinance
•Restricting parking for trucks with a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or more on
any street in the city.
The ordinance was approved by their full city council at their July 23, 2021 meeting. An
education phase for these changes will last through the end of 2021, with standard
enforcement starting Jan. 1, 2022. The fines for violating the parking will be phased with a $100
violation fee in 2022, $150 in 2023, and $250 starting in 2024.
Truck parking restrictions next steps: New requests for truck parking restrictions will be
handled by the traffic committee. The traffic committee is an internal employee workgroup
that meets monthly to discuss traffic requests. The committee is made up of the engineering,
operations and recreation, police, and community development departments.
Implementing truck parking restrictions will work like existing parking restrictions. Locations will
be brought to council for consideration through the approval of a resolution.
Future location requests should be forwarded to the engineering department for consideration
by the traffic committee.

Title: Snow removal exempt parking – annual revision
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution rescinding Resolution No. 19-122 and
approving the attached list of snow removal exempt parking areas.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to continue to provide exempt parking areas during
snow emergencies?
Summary: St. Louis Park’s snow removal ordinance restricts on-street parking after a snowfall.
The city, using a combination of available forecasts, will declare a snow emergency in advance of
a storm when three or more inches of snow is forecasted. On-street parking is restricted during
a snow emergency until streets are plowed from curb to curb and the snowfall has ended.
There are some exceptions to the winter parking ordinance. Usually, these are located where
there is limited off-street parking for certain apartment buildings or commercial businesses. In
these areas, parking is allowed within the first 24 hours of the snow emergency going into
effect. After the first 24 hours, however, vehicles must be moved to a plowed street or park off-
street. Vehicles that aren’t moved are subject to ticketing and towing. Existing parking
restrictions are unchanged and must be followed during a snow emergency.
The new resolution rescinds the previous list and adopts a revised list of snow removal exempt
parking streets. The revised list accounts for conflicting parking restrictions and inconsistencies
with maps shown to the public and staff. Following the adoption of the resolution, the maps
will be updated.
Financial or budget considerations: The cost of modifying the parking restrictions will be
minimal and will be coming out of the general operating budget.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for
people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

Title: Special assessment – water service line repair at 3153 Pennsylvania Avenue South
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the
repair of the water service line at 3153 Pennsylvania Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN.
P.I.D. 17-117-21-21-0186.
Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by
the city council.
Summary: Gregory and Mary Henkels, owners of the single-family residence 3153 Pennsylvania
Avenue South, have requested the city authorize the repair of the water service line for their
home and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the city’s special assessment
policy.
The city requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or
sewer service lines for existing homes was adopted by the city council in 1996. This program was put
into place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like
this are unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed,
submitted, and approved by city staff. The property owners hired a contractor and repaired the
water service line in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work,
this repair qualifies for the city’s special assessment program. The property owners have petitioned
the city to authorize the water service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total
eligible cost of the repair has been determined to be $3,000.00.
Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special
assessment.

Title: Accept donation from Discover St. Louis Park for Jason West to attend the Sports ETA
Symposium
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution approving acceptance of a monetary
donation from Discover St. Louis Park in an amount not to exceed $1,500 for flight and hotel
related expenses for Jason West, Recreation Superintendent, to attend the Sports Events &
Tourism Association (ETA) in Birmingham, Alabama on Oct. 25 – 28, 2021.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to accept the gift with restrictions on its use?
Summary: State statute requires city council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is
necessary in order to make sure the city council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the
use of each donation prior to it being expended.
Discover St. Louis Park is graciously donating up to $1,500 for flight, hotel and transportation
expenses for Jason West, Recreation Superintendent, to attend the upcoming 2021 Sports ETA
Symposium held Oct. 25-28, 2021 in Birmingham, Alabama. Jason would attend this event in an
attempt to bring larger sporting events to St. Louis Park. Jason attended this event for the past
several years and made many connections with large event organizers. One of the large
tournament/events have made and economic impact to St. Louis Park of over $500,000. The
partnership between the city and Discover St. Louis Park has proven to be extremely successful.
Jason West was approved and was registered for the 2020 Sports ETA Symposium and due to
the pandemic, it was pushed back to October 2021.
The city attorney has reviewed this matter. His opinion is that state law permits the payment of
such expenses by this organization, regardless of whether the funds come from primary or
secondary sources. It is treated as a gift to the city and needs to be a resolution adopted by the
city council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accepting

Title: Arlington Row Apartments East and Arlington Row Apartments West plat extensions
Recommended action: Motion to approve an extension until Aug. 2, 2022 for Melrose
Company to record the final plats for Arlington Row Apartment East and Arlington Row
Apartment West.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to allow Melrose Company an additional year to
record the final plat for Arlington Row East and Arlington Row West?
Summary: Per the city code, Melrose Company was required to record the final plat within two
years after city council approval or request that the city council approve an extension. Melrose
Company has previously requested extensions to record the final plat on Aug. 15, 2018, Aug.
15, 2019, and Aug. 3, 2020. The city received a written request from Melrose Company for an
extension on both plats again.
Melrose Company has delayed filing the plat to defer the costs of park and trail dedication fees
until the project moves forward. The developer indicates he is finalizing construction plans and
intends to move forward in the spring 2022.
There are no indications the city’s goals for the sites have changed; the city still wants the
development to proceed with medium density residential housing as approved. The
development was granted a planned unit development (PUD), which does not expire. If the city
were to elect to revoke the PUD, the city would need to proactively rezone the property
through the same public process as it was approved. Staff recommends approval of a one-year
extension to file the plat by Aug. 2, 2022.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Temporary expanded outdoor and indoor customer service areas
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution approving an extension of the policy for
temporary outdoor and indoor customer service areas.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support amending the policy for temporary outdoor
and indoor customer service areas by allowing the previously approved temporary measures to
continue until Oct. 1, 2021 instead of the current deadline of July 31, 2021?
Summary: On June 1, 2020 the city council approved a policy for outdoor customer service areas.
This was in response to Gov. Walz decision to allow limited outdoor dining at restaurants and
bars starting June 1, 2020. The policy was amended on Dec. 7, 2020 to allow the temporary
customer service areas to expire 30 days after the peacetime emergency is ended instead of the
previous deadline of Dec. 31, 2020.
The peacetime emergency ended on July 1, 2021, beginning the 30-day grace period for the
temporary customer service areas. As a result, they are now required to be removed by Aug. 1,
2021. City staff seeks authority to amend the policy to change the expiration date from 30 days
after the ending of the peacetime emergency to Oct. 1, 2021.
The intent of the policy was to allow businesses and institutions to follow the emergency orders
and temporarily expand some of their activity spaces in order to help offset capacity limitations
and recoup lost revenues. The revised policy would continue the exemptions allowed under the
existing policy. The expansions include uses such as retail, taprooms, cocktail rooms and classes.
In many cases these uses are limited to a percentage of the building area and this policy would
allow them to exceed those limitations temporarily.
Financial or budget considerations: Insignificant permit revenue loss from waived fees.

Title: Temporary expanded outdoor and indoor customer service areas
Policy for Temporary Outdoor and Indoor Customer Service Areas
Pursuant to Mayoral Proclamation and Council Resolution, the City of St. Louis Park declared a Peace
Time Emergency due to the COVID-19 Health Pandemic.
In furtherance of the federal, state, and local government response, there is a need to provide
multiple additional and alternative customer service areas on commercial sites in order to limit
forward facing exchanges between customers and employees, and to promote physical and social
distancing between persons engaged in business activities within the City.
Effective immediately, and notwithstanding any city code provision to the contrary, any business or
institution may establish in a temporary manner additional or expanded activities directly related to
the previously approved land uses. Activities may include uses such as drive-up or drive-thru areas,
customer ordering, waiting or pick-up areas, or customer seating or service areas on its property to
facilitate safe commercial activity conducted consistent with federal and state orders or
guidelines. The temporary outdoor use may occur inside the building, in sidewalks, some parking
spaces, or undeveloped outdoor areas adjacent to their buildings without need for a
variance. However, if the business owner is not the fee owner of the property used by the business
for the temporary outdoor use, any temporary outdoor use must have written approval from the fee
owner of the premises.
Permits are required. Operators must prepare a plan to be approved by the City prior to establishing
a temporary customer service area. The plan shall illustrate on-site traffic, a map of the expansion,
and operational management. Additionally, the plan must show that customer service areas do not
impede sidewalk usage, block disabled person parking spaces or routes, and that all activities do not
create nuisance conditions for abutting properties or the general public.
If alcohol is to be dispensed or consumed in the proposed temporary customer areas, the licensee
must obtain a modification to their defined premises areas in the liquor license through the City.
On-site signage is authorized. Temporary tables, tents, and sun shelters may be erected, but any
structure requiring state building and fire code permits must submit plans and permit applications
for accelerated review by city staff.
Fees may be waived for some permits and licenses associated with the temporary use. Fees may be
charged for building permits and other permits requiring occupancy and life/safety review.
The terms and conditions of this order may be modified or clarified by subsequent order and those
changes may have retroactive effect.
This policy will continue until October 1, 2021 30 days after the date the peacetime emergency is
ended.

Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to home occupations
Recommended action: Motion to approve the first reading of Ordinance amending chapter 36
pertaining to home occupations and set second reading for Aug. 16, 2021.
Policy consideration: Does the council wish to amend the ordinance pertaining to home occupations.
Summary: City staff proposes to amend the regulations pertaining to home occupations in the
following manner:
• Combine all regulations into one section of code so they are uniformly applied in all
residential districts, MX districts, and applicable PUDs.
• Allow barbers/hairdressers.
• Allow one outside employee that does not reside on the property.
• Allow the size of a home occupation to be equal to 25% of the floor area of a dwelling
(currently they are limited to 10%).
• Allow residents of ADU to conduct home occupations in the ADU.
Background: The city council added a review of home occupations as a priority discussion topic
in 2020. Also, the planning commission included it in its 2021 work plan. The planning
commission reviewed the draft ordinance on Nov. 4 and Dec. 2, 2020. On Dec. 4, 2020 the
planning commission recommended the city council review the draft.
On Feb. 8, 2021, the city council discussed the topic and agreed with the planning commission
recommendations except allowing accessory buildings to be used in conjunction with a home
occupation. Some councilmembers expressed concerns with the expansion of businesses into
accessory buildings noting that this is an intensification of the home occupation ordinance and
the city is already experiencing nuisance complaints from residents resulting from businesses
operating illegally in accessory buildings. Interest was also expressed in requiring home
occupations to be registered. The city currently requires registration of home occupations that
have customers or students coming to the site.
On March 17, 2021, the planning commission reviewed the council comments. Commissioners
agreed to continue the practice of prohibiting home occupations in accessory structures.
The planning commission conducted a public hearing on June 16, 2021. No comments were
received from the public and the planning commission recommended approval.
Financial or budget considerations: None.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

City council meeting of August 2, 2021 (Item No. 8a) Page 2
Title: First reading of ordinance pertaining to home occupations
Discussion
Draft ordinance: In addition to the amendments discussed below, staff also proposes moving
the home occupation regulations from each of the residential districts, MX districts and PUD
districts to a new subsection in the general residential district regulations section of the zoning
ordinance. Consolidating all the rules to one section would reduce redundancy in the code, will
be easier to maintain consistency of the regulations, and would make it easier for residents to
find the home occupation regulations in the city code.
The drafted amendment includes:
• Allowing barbers/hairdressers as a home occupation. Currently, they are prohibited as
home occupations.
• Allow one outside employee to work at the home occupation is based. The employee
may work at a home occupation conducted by the occupant of either the principal or
accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The draft does not allow an employee at both home
occupations for those instances when a home occupation is conducted by the occupants
of both the principal dwelling and ADU.
• Allow a home occupation to occupy more than 10% of the home. Section 36-115(e)
defines an accessory use as a secondary use that occupies less than 25% of the building
area. To be consistent with this provision, staff proposes to increase the maximum
allowed floor area for home occupations from 10% to 25%. The size limit for a home
occupation conducted by the occupant of the principal dwelling will be based on the size
of the principal dwelling. Home occupations based out of an ADU will be based on the
size of the ADU.
• Allow residents of accessory dwelling units to conduct home occupations. The draft
allows the occupants of both the principal dwelling and the ADU to each conduct their
own home occupations. As drafted, home occupations conducted by the occupants of
the ADU are limited to 25% of the ADU. Furthermore, the draft limits the number of
outside employees that do not reside on the property to no more than one outside
employee per lot. The home occupation conducted in the ADU cannot have an
employee if there is already a home occupation with an outside employee conducted in
the principal dwelling and vice versa.
• Allow equipment that is not typically present in a residential household, provided it has
no negative impacts on adjacent residential properties, is small enough in scale so as to
not infringe on the residential character of the home, and the equipment does not
result in undue impacts to public infrastructure. The draft ordinance proposes to
eliminate the provision limiting equipment to that which is normally found in a home.
Instead, the ordinance would rely on the other provisions that prohibit nuisance impacts
such as noise, smells, vibrations, etc. The equipment is permitted if its use is not
perceptible to adjacent properties. Home occupations conducted in apartments,
condominiums, townhomes or other dwelling units sharing a common wall will have a
more difficulty meeting this requirement, and therefore, will be subject to greater
limitations as to the equipment allowed.

• Require registration of home occupations that have an employee that does not reside
on the property. Currently home occupations are required to register if they have
customers or students visiting the property. The proposed amendment would include
home occupations with an employee that does not reside on the property to also
complete the registration of land use application.
