FEB. 7, 2022
The St. Louis Park City Council will hold its meeting on Feb. 7, 2022 via interactive technology/
videoconferencing. Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 13D.021, subd. 1, and Resolution No. 22-018, the
city manager and the city council have determined that an in-person meeting of the St. Louis
Park City Council is not practical or prudent because of the COVID-19 health pandemic, and the
surge of the Omicron variant.
Due to the measures necessary to contain and mitigate the impacts of the pandemic, it has been
determined that attendance at the regular meeting location by members of the public is not
feasible and that the physical presence at the regular meeting location by at least one member
of the body, chief legal counsel, or chief administrative officer is not feasible. All members of the
St. Louis Park City Council will participate in the Feb. 7, 2022 city council meeting by electronic
device or telephone rather than by being personally present at the city council's regular meeting
place at 5005 Minnetonka Blvd. Cisco Webex will be used to conduct videoconference meetings
of the city council, with council members and staff participating from multiple locations.
Special study session at 5:20 p.m.
Economic development authority at 6:20 p.m. | Regular city council meeting at 6:30 p.m .

Executive summary
Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
Re commended action: No formal action is required at this time. The city council requested
additional information on this topic and directed staff to prepare policy options for further
discussion. Staff recommends development of a programmatic approach in partnership with
the community to boost the rate of vaccination in the city.
Policy consideration:
•Should staff and local partners pursue programmatic approaches to encourage vaccine
and booster use?
•Should staff pursue a regulatory approach to encourage vaccine and booster use?
Summary: Residents and local businesses are all experie ncing burdens and hardships because
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Regional and national policy solutions have focused primarily on
emergency measures in the form of mandates related to proven preventative protections like
masking, social distancing, and vaccine use. Recently, Minneapolis and St. Paul adopted
emergency measures limiting entrance to bars and restaurants to encourage the use of vaccines.
While approaches of this type have been effective at a regional level, the local considerations
such as costs to local businesses, burdens for families with young children, and complex
administrative implementation do not exceed the stated benefit. Emergency regulations of this
type do not conform to the long-term strategy required to abate the ongoing situation. For
these reasons, staff does not recommend that St. Louis Park adopt a similar measure.
Instead, staff recommends a programmatic approach in partnership with the community to
achieve the goal of encouraging vaccine and booster use as the pandemic enters a new phase .
St. Louis Park is uniquely positioned as an active and engaged community, with a strong public
health infrastructure and existing community ties to be successful with this approach. Bonds
formed during this process could also serve long term goals of the city to increase social capital.
Financial or budget considerations: Financial re sources from the American Recovery Plan Act
and staff capacity are an allowable use to augment or support a programmatic approach.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity
and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive community for all.

Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
Discussion
Background: Residents of the City of St. Louis Park are entering a third year of enduring the
COVID-19 pandemic. Many measures that we re once emergency precautions are now routine
and protective measures are available to the public. Data that was not available at the start of
the event are now widely available. As the pandemic enters this new phase , new policy
measures are under consideration . The council may consider the adoption of various rules or
programs designed to avoid and alleviate harm .
Proven protective measures include masking, social distancing, and administration of an mRNA
or adenoviral vaccine and booster. Measures to encourage masking have been implemented
from time to time as appropriate in the city. Currently, an emergency ordinance requires
masking in most public places in the city. In addition, social distancing is strongly encouraged.
Vaccination rates for residents are difficult to localize, however, data is available by zip code
tabulation area. For the western portion of the city (55426), the one-shot vaccination rate
among adults is 76% and the completed series rate is 72%. The eastern portion of the city
(55416) has a one -shot rate of 83% and a completed series rate of 78% (as of Jan. 19). This is
largely in line with rates county-wide. Many communities saw an initial surge of vaccination
followed by a drop-off in the daily rate , even as new populations became e ligible to receive it.
Booster adoption in Hennepin County stands at roughly 55% among adults. Vaccine hesitancy
measured through surveys from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measures
the regional area (P ublic Use Microdata Area – Golde n Valley -Edina-St. Louis Park) as 8%
hesitant, and 2% strongly hesitant to be vaccinated.

Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
At the request of council, staff began to research policies that could potentially boost
vaccination uptake . Recently, the mayors in St. Paul and Minneapolis issued new emergency
orde rs which require patrons of various establishments to show proof of vaccination to enter or
receive service. These policies, while similar in intent, differ greatly between the two
communities. Each makes exceptions for populations for which it would be difficult to comply
and in settings where it would be inappropriate or burdensome to demonstrate proof. The
expiration, enforcement mechanisms, and exact nature of the rules also differ.
Staff began to research the nature of these and other policies which could be used to increase
vaccination and booster rates in the community. In accordance with that research and following
on consultations with the business community, health care community, city manager and
e mergency management coordinator, staff does not recommend impleme nting a similar policy
at this time in the City of St. Louis Park . The goal of increasing vaccination and booster rates is
well supported, however, a mandate as it would be implemented in St. Louis Park may not have
the desired effect and cou ld adversely affect businesses as well as community ties. To encourage
vaccination and booster use in the city, staff is instead recommending a programmatic approach
in partnership with community members and partners. The unique powers granted to the city
council, organizational advantages of the city, and relatively high vaccination rates in the
community ensure a program-based approach has a higher likelihood of success.
Policy analysis framework: The continuing and changing nature of the situation requires an
approach to policy and program evaluation that is consistent. To develop a systematic approach
to evaluating these policies, staff considered several aspects of how policies related to COVID-
19 have worked.
Data and research
Where possible, staff worked to fin d and evaluate scientific research to understand the
potential effects of a given policy. Research can typically take years to develop, and so all
information found was evaluated with that as a consideration. Most research on COVID-19
policy effects is not yet peer-reviewed and many seemingly conclusive papers have since been
revoked. This is a normal process for the scientific community; however, the uncertainty
underpinning rapid work of this type means all research and data need careful evaluation.
Motivational and psychological considerations
There is also a need to evaluate what motivates a particular individual to adopt a protective
measure. In Protection Motivation Theory researchers examine how a person evaluates
their personal threat appraisal (the likelihood they would be at risk of harm) compared to
their coping appraisal (the likelihood they could cope if the harm took place). This is a
helpful way to think through the potential reaction of various constituencies in response to
a program or policy.
Political and ideological considerations
Since the beginning of the pandemic, COVID-19 has been politicized. In research on the use
of vaccines, many individuals hold political and id eological positions which impact their
participation in vaccination programs. Importantly, however, these convictions are not
always held strongly, and many individuals weigh risks and facts when deciding to
participate in each mitigation measure. For this reason, outreach has proven effective in a
one-on-one setting where a health care professional (ostensibly politically agnostic) could
offer facts about vaccination.
Special study session meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No.1) Page 4
Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
Legality and e thical considerations
Additional considerations include the legality of mandates, both to implement and enforce
ordinances or orders . The City Attorney has provided an analysis of the legal issues, via
privileged communication.
Equity considerations
Policies or programs which may have an uneven impact on various communities require a
difference in implementation to mitigate dis parities . Economic and related racial and ethnic
disparities h ave arisen as an area of primary concern. The virus is more likely to harm
communities of color and more likely to impact jobs that are held in higher proportion in
those communities. In addition, several cultural communities in St. Louis Park have the
potential to be disparately impacted by policies that mandate the use of vaccines, or which
require proof of vaccination to utilize services. Access to vaccination for communities in
lower economic classes or for individuals with disabilities is also an area of primary concern.
Individuals with unclear immigration status for whom interacting with a government office
or official reporting in a medical situation may result in danger also mu st be considered.
Dis cussion: Policy solutions to-date have been primarily motivated by emergency outbreaks
and taken the form of vaccination or testing mandates or other preventative measures like
masking. Programmatic solutions h ave frequently taken the form of incentives, events to
encourage vaccination , or reminders to seek a vaccine.
Staff researched recently adopted mandates implemented in Minneapolis and St. Paul which
require a patron to display proof of vaccination or a recent negative test. In the case of St. Paul,
the y must also present identification. Following the systematic approach laid out above, staff
reviewed current research on this type of policy.
Most articles relating to implem entation focused on the feelings of patrons and business
owners. Businesses reported being significantly impacted by policies of these types, requiring in
some cases temporary closure to patrons entering their facility . Others reported a significant
financial burden on top of already strained finances to enforce the policy or from res ulting fines.
Mandates of all types are unpopular with survey respondents, because of the restriction on
freedom in daily life like extra complications when a f amily goes out to eat, or extra staff
needed at a local business. Strongly held id eological position s also hardened following the
announcement and implementation of mandates. In addition, reports of a feeling of lost
autonomy increased in nations that implement policies like vaccine passports.
One important consideration mentioned by both the city’s e mergency management
coordinator and other health officials was the regional nature of mandate policies. Research in
Canada and Europe focused on provincewide or nationwide policies rather than local
municipalities taking on mandates. Anecdotal reports from American cities suggest that in
regions where a reluctant person could easily patronize a location outside the jurisdiction , they
instead choose to do that. This could be considered a desirable outcome depending on the goal
of the policy ; however, impacted businesses had strongly negative comments on the further
loss of business at a time when finances were already strained.
Special study session meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No.1) Page 5
Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
Major stakeholders affected by a policy of this type have all reported concerns that outweigh,
in their estimation , the potential benefits. Staff expressed concern over enforcement, the
potential impact on businesses and the lack of regional partnership. The wane in infections has
likely also lowered the threat appraisal for individuals. Partners outside the city including health
and business organizations have also questioned implementation and effect.
Program-based approach: Upon completion of a review of a potential mandate policy and the
resulting recommendation to not take that approach, the city manager directe d the formation
of a work group to develop alternative programmatic approaches to achieve the goal of
increasing vaccine use long term. That group developed several ideas and is work ing to
systematize the city ’s approach to already-occurring events, like v accine pop-up clinics.
Following the direction of the council, the group will reconvene to refine ideas and work to
remove barriers to the options below .
St. Louis Park is unique in having many strongly -connected community members, businesses,
and institutions that allow for community-based approaches to work. Working together to
achieve a goal of increasing vaccination and booster use could provide for several opportunities
to accomplish multiple goals at the same time. Collaboration, incentives , and engagement are
all long-term goals of the city , and this approach could aid in strengthening and augmenting
those bonds. The existing sense of community identity could be tied to an approach for living
with the presence of the virus without detracting from community connections.
Ex ternal partners who atte nded the group found the partnership ideas exciting, and they stand
ready to participate in developing programmatic solutions. The working group developed
several ideas which could be used to boost vaccine use. Among them:
1.Pop-up vaccine clinics
a.Incentives could be offered through local businesses.
b.Partnerships between the Fire department vaccinators, Park Nicollet and local
businesses could utilize experience and expertise.
c.Provides opportunities for positive programming that brings in an element of
fun.
d.Provides more easily accessible options for residents.
e.Contingency factors : Clinics rely on a partnership between the
business/organization, city, medical personne l, and vaccine provider. Outside
forces in any of these entities can impact the ability to host a clinic.
2.Vaccine or booster-based discounts
a.Partnering to offer reduced cost coupons at businesses or free entrance to city
facilities in exchange for proof of vaccination or b ooster.
b.Doubles as a program to boost patronage at local businesses.
c.Allows for collection of regionalized data on which neighborhoods have highe r
vaccine uptake.
d.Contingency factor: Partnerships with local community businesses and
organiz ations would need to be established around this issue along with
parameters around discounts.

Title: Encouraging vaccine and booster use in St. Louis Park
3.Communication strategies
a.Tying a shared sense of community and identity to beneficial health decisions .
b.Allowing for trusted partners like firefighters or nurses to explain the facts about
vaccination .
c.Outreach to residents who are less mobile or have less access to clinics .
d.Contingency factor: Messaging from the city impacts different people in different
ways and efforts need to be made to coordinate with other people and
organizatio ns of influence.

Title: Special EDA meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
Commissioner Kraft stated he will support this action. He explained affordable housing
is one of the most important and challenging issues the city faces, and the HRA levy is
targeted to address that issue. He applauded this council and prior councils for their
commitment to this issue, including the inclusionary housing policy that has had a real
impact on significantly increasing affordable apartments in the city. He stated he does
not think the city can relax their efforts on this front, noting affordable home ownership
opportunities could use more attention. He added there is a balancing act with property
taxes, made even more precarious due to home value trends. Especially this year, more
affordable homes are increasing in value substantially faster than other parts of the
market, resulting in comparatively large increases in property tax bills that are likely
hitting homeowners less able to afford it.
Commissioner Kraft stated going forward for next years’ budget process, he would like
the council to consider how much the city should be spending on affordable housing.
Clearly there is no limit to the need, but there is some limit to what the city can spend.
Given the substantial sums that are being generated by the city’s pooled TIF, around
$900,000 to $1.5 million annually for the next several years, he suggested the council
should look at the total amount being spent and determine if there are other ways of
focusing the money and economizing a bit. He stated given that he just realized the way
the HRA levy is applied on straight market value versus tax capacity, puts the burden
more on lower value homes than if it was part of the general levy. He noted it may not
be a substantial amount, but there is some impact. He would like the council to
investigate folding the HRA levy into the general levy. He added he wished he
understood these two dynamics better earlier in this year’s budget process. Given how
long the HRA levy has been in place, he thinks it is important that changes be carefully
considered to ensure they don’t create unintended consequences.
It was moved by Commissioner Kraft, seconded by Commissioner Mohamed, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 21-40, authorizing the 2022 final HRA levy.
Vice President Rog concurred with most of Commissioner Kraft’s comments. She stated
as of now, despite her concerns about the new EDA levy, she continues to support the
use of the HRA levy to collect tax dollars. Primarily because it has been integrated into
the budget process at this point and she does not want to lose access to the significant
affordable housing dollars it generates, as well as potential for a trust fund match from
the legislature someday.
Vice President Rog stated she is open to discussing what to do about this levy in the
future with staff and colleagues. She noted the revenues from this levy will make
possible wealth building programs to address historical injustices and access to home
ownership. She added it will also provide the opportunity to hopefully create a new
multi-family homeownership development on Minnetonka Boulevard, and support the
ability to provide rental assistance, grant, and transformation loan programs.
Commissioner Spano thanked staff who put this money to good use on behalf of the
city’s residents. He stated he will be participating in a discussion on homeownership,
racial equity impacts, and the wealth divide and he asked staff for information on the
Page 3
programs the city funds for housing, and there are many. He stated he will support
adoption of the HRA levy as well.
The motion passed 6-0 (President Brausen absent).
7b. 2022 final EDA levy certification
Commissioner Mohamed stated there was some conversation at the last meeting
regarding the EDA levy being a regressive tax. She requested that Ms. Schmitt clarify the
impact of how the EDA levy is applied. Ms. Schmitt stated she reviewed the $500,000
EDA levy and calculated the levy with both market value tax capacity and the net tax
capacity formula. For a $200,000 home the difference was $1.02/year. For a $300,000
home, the difference is $.54/year and for a $400,000 home it is $.07/year. She noted
the difference is so small because of the dollar amount of the levy. A greater impact
would be seen if you were to compare based on the city’s entire levy.
Commissioner Mohamed thanked staff for their work to provide data that clarified the
impact and stated she is supportive of the EDA levy as proposed.
Commissioner Kraft stated he is not against the money the city is spending, but he is
against the EDA levy. He encouraged council to vote against creation of the EDA levy
and instead absorb as much as possible into the general fund levy. He is convinced
creation of the EDA levy is not a good idea and there is no good reason for the city to do
this with a separate levy. He stated one of the arguments he has heard in favor of the
action are it’s a sustainable funding source, but he feels it is no more or less sustainable
than the general levy. The council can make changes to any levy at any time. He stated
he has also heard it is less likely to be cut in the future, and that also does not make
sense to him because the council can cut or change any levy during the budget process.
It is only less likely to be cut if they depend on a future council not realizing that they
can adjust it. The rationale that other cities do this, does not make it right.
Commissioner Kraft stated one of the biggest reasons he is advocating for this change is
transparency. He noted throughout this process, the discussion has been about the
increase in the general levy, and staff has done a good job of trying to incorporate the
other two levies to show the total impact, but when the council discussed it, they talked
about the 6.5% increase when it was preliminary and now the number discussed is
5.58%. He stated the 5.58% is not relevant to residents. The number that is relevant is
the 6.9% increase in total levy that the city is doing year over year. He added when
someone receives their truth in taxation notice, it is not a 5.58% increase. It is really
6.9% that is applied across their property’s value. He stated whether it is intended or
not, having separate levies is obscuring what is being done and anytime that happens,
from a government perspective, is not good. He noted they did just learn that doing it
this way falls a little bit more on the lower end of the value spectrum, versus if the
money was in the general fund levy. He recognized it is a small amount this year, but if
the levy increases in the future the impact would be greater and compound over time.
He questioned why the council would do it if they don’t have to. He added including the
money in the general fund levy would also reduce complexity. He feels it is very difficult
Economic development authority meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4a)
Title: Special EDA meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
Page 4
to explain to residents what the EDA levy is, what it is for, and why it is separate.
Climate investment in this was originally going to be corporate only because the money
was coming from the EDA levy. He noted staff was able to figure out how to structure
this so the climate investment money would not be restricted to corporate only. He
stated while he appreciates the creativity used to solve this issue, these are
machinations that are not necessary.
Commissioner Kraft stated he believes the council can make a change with minimal
impact and proposed rejecting the EDA levy and adopting general levy of 6.5%. This
would absorb approximately $330,000 of the $500,000 EDA levy. He proposed this
would be $300,000 for the climate investment fund and the balance for the
development fund, leaving a gap of $170,000 from the amount originally planned. He
suggested directing staff to look at making up this difference with any end of year fund
balance that the city may have. He stated his understanding is that there may be some
fund surpluses at the end of the year. Even if that is not possible, he stated the city
could do without the $170,000 for 2022 because it is not urgent that it happen this year
and the city will not run out of money in the development fund without it. One of the
reasons to do it was to begin to establish a sustainable funding source for the
development fund, and they would still be doing that. He stated this proposal would
result in a small reduction in taxes for residents and would move the total levy increase
from 6.9% to just under 6.5%. He reiterated he will not support the EDA levy.
Commissioner Harris asked staff to review how the creation of the EDA levy came to be
proposed. Ms. Schmitt explained earlier this year staff and council had discussions about
finding funding sources for programs like climate. Staff discussed with council
establishing an EDA levy for the climate programs because they felt it was a more
transparent way to do the levy because it would stand out and be separate from the
general levy. For years staff has discussed with council the fact that the development
fund has no sustainable funding source and that a portion of that fund was being used
for salaries.
Commissioner Harris recalled that last spring there was a request that the city find a
dedicated funding source for climate change initiatives and programs. She stated there
are always different ways to look at the same issue. The proposed funding source is
transparent in that it is indicated as a line item. She noted one of the things she has
found helpful is to have the tax impact numbers articulated as early in the process as
possible because it helps convey to residents what the impact is on them. She asked for
staff to review the EDA levy impact on median-value homes. Ms. Schmitt stated the
anticipated average increase, for all three levies combined, is $160.48. The impact of the
proposed EDA levy alone, was approximately $18/year for a median-value home.
Commissioner Harris stated one of the benefits of having a separate line-item budget
for climate investment initiatives is residents being able to see immediately what that
money is intended for and the impact on their tax bill. She noted she supports the EDA
levy and appreciates staff looking for solutions based on what council has requested.

Title: Special EDA meeting minutes of December 13, 2021

President Brausen apologized for being late to the meeting. He stated he supports the
EDA levy, which is a new tax that will fund development activities in the upcoming years,
including staff salaries. He noted there has been and will continue to be a great deal of
redevelopment activity in the city. He stated these funds will help to manage this
important and detailed process. He added the city also plans to use the additional new
revenue to make significant investments in response to climate change, which is the
singular existential crisis facing us as a people. He stated it is important to begin to
robustly fund the process to change our self-destructive consumption habits to save the
planet. He stated the world’s leaders, including our own, have been slow to make these
changes and we cannot afford to not ignore these needs.
President Brausen stated in the future he would support adding this type of levy to the
full extent of the law, which would allow taxing at 0.01813% of the estimated market
value of all properties in St. Louis Park because the sooner these investments are made,
the sooner they can take transformative action. He added, however, staff and the
council has preferred to tax only a one-third portion of the levy that the state allows to
be collected, to reduce the immediate tax impacts on residents and business owners.
President Brausen continued that pushing action and costs down the road in the face of
this crisis is irresponsible. He stated until the city pays the true costs of “business as
usual”, they will not make the transformative investments needed. This includes the
lifestyle changes needed to reduce and end carbon emissions. He stated we are leaving
our grandchildren in a severely damaged world in exchange for cushioning the impact
on consumers and taxpayers. He added the proposed levy will be a start to pay the tab,
but still is too little in his estimation. He stated he supports the creation of this new levy
for these reasons and feels the process has been very transparent and the proposed
EDA levy was specifically discussed repeatedly at many meetings. He noted he had not
heard any objection to the proposed levy, other than those who spoke at the public
hearing. He reiterated he supports the EDA levy and believes it is essential for the
community and society in general to be making these types of investments.
Commissioner Dumalag stated she is also supportive of all the investments being made
in climate initiatives, but noted the devil is in the details. She asked Ms. Schmitt to
explain the market rate value versus tax capacity and the calculation difference between
creating an EDA levy versus having all of the money in the general fund.
Ms. Schmitt stated for properties that are homestead, when net tax capacity is
calculated, a market value exclusion is applied based on the homes value. The lower the
home value, the higher the market value exclusion. She explained for a $250,000 home,
you could subtract almost $15,000 off the initial market value. When that is then
divided by 100, you get the net tax capacity which would be $2,353. Levies that are not
calculated using net tax capacity would result in the market value of the same property
being $2,500. A levy, such as the EDA levy, is applied against a higher amount. She noted
this becomes more noticeable with a larger levy. If they used a market value calculation
rather than a net tax capacity for the entire levy, such as $38 million dollars, the impact
would be more noticeable because the property values would be higher without the
market value exclusion applied.

Title: Special EDA meeting minutes of December 13, 2021

Commissioner Dumalag stated she appreciated the work staff did to show the difference
between the impact in real dollars of creating the EDA levy or including that amount in
the general fund levy. She added the creation of the EDA levy was discussed by council
and it is known that staff salaries are included, but it is specifically for an initiative that
the council has determined to be very important. She stated she will support the EDA
levy.
Commissioner Spano stated he will also support the proposed EDA levy because the
impacts are minimal to the more moderately valued homes in the community. He
appreciated Commissioner Kraft’s commitment on the issue but will not support his
proposal at this time. He added certainly the council will be discussing this again in
future years, but he does not want to short a fund by $170,000 recognizing that would
not have been Commissioner Kraft’s first choice either. He stated his experience has
been that folks are not so worried about the percentage and are more concerned about
the real dollar amount. He added the dollar amounts can fluctuate quickly depending on
an individual’s property value. He noted in his conversations only two people have
objected to the EDA levy, because of what the money was going to be spent on. He
stated he is less concerned about the percentage than about the dollar and is fine with
the way staff has structured this, and it feels very transparent to him.
Commissioner Kraft stated his proposal is not to bury this in the general fund and would
suggest this be called out very clearly similar to the way other funds in the general levy
are highlighted. He noted he wants to echo President Brausen’s comments and is in full
agreement regarding the crisis we all face and the importance of it, especially leaving a
world for their kids and grandkids that is at least as good as the one that was given to
them. He supports the funding but disagrees with the way it is being done and feels it is
unnecessary and overly complex.
Vice President Rog stated as much as she does not want to overcomplicate things, she
cannot deny the logic Commissioner Kraft presented. She stated she is not supportive of
a new levy but is fully supportive of investing in climate initiatives. She is in favor of
being as transparent as possible and adding a new levy does not align with that goal.
She stated she supports these investments but will vote against the EDA levy.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Mohamed, to
recommend adoption of the 2022 EDA levy by the city council.
The motion passed 5-2 (Commissioners Rog and Kraft opposed).

2018 (green bonds). Resolution No. 21-149
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Kimberly Anderson, 3248 Yosemite Ave. S., stated they just heard the EDA conversation
on this issue and thanked Mayor Spano for being the only one to have the courage to
oppose this project. Kimberly has followed this project with optimism and skepticism, is
astounded by the lack of transparency on finances and bondholders, is very
disappointed, and will continue to watch this, hoping everyone will be wrong.
Chris Valesco stated he works for the PLACE project. He noted this project will be
exceptional when completed and thanked the EDA for approving this. He stated
financing will be approved for this so the project can be completed.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is rooting for the project to be successful. He will
support this and the way he looks at it, this provides the best chance to complete the
project.
Councilmember Brausen noted the 2018 bondholders agree to these modifications and
will be subordinating their debt and they will have more risk than the city in doing so.
Councilmember Rog stated she is also disappointed the project has not yet been
completed, but with the advice of the bond attorney and stating this is necessary for the
project to be completed, she will support this action.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she will also support this, adding the priority is to
complete the project.

Councilmember Harris stated while there were risks with this project, it has been
exciting to pursue, adding it will be a tremendous advantage to the community with
live/work features. She will support this and hopes it will be successful.
Mayor Spano stated he will not support this action but is still rooting for the project. He
stated being asked to work around these financial issues of the project has been difficult
and he is concerned about the capacity of the development team. He noted the council
has looked at the same information but come to different conclusions and he thanked
staff for their work on this.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to
adopt Resolution No. 21-149 approving the modifications to the housing revenue bonds,
(PLACE Via Sol development), series 2018 (green bonds).
The motion passed 6-1 (Mayor Spano opposed).
6b. 2022 proposed budget, tax levies and truth in taxation public hearing
Ms. Schmitt presented the staff report.
Mayor Spano opened the public hearing.
Dave Larson, 4210 Yosemite Ave., stated he got his tax statement and noted when he
first purchased his home in 1992, his taxes were $1,250 per year and $100 per quarter
on sewer and water. This year, his proposed tax is over $7,667 with another $500 per
month on sewer and water. He added he also had an 11% increase in home value and
on top of this, there is the 6.5% levy so his taxes are going up 19% this year. He stated
he understands some of the base was lost in commercial property; however, he cannot
stomach this increase. He does not want to argue about the value of home but noted
they must find the $2 million from somewhere else, and not just through the levy. He
feels there is an insatiable want of money from government, adding the important thing
is police, fire, and water, and this is too much.
Eric Judge, 2824 Xenwood Ave., stated he has lived in St. Louis Park for 18 years and as
far as he can remember, there has never not been a tax increase. He stated this is an
unsustainable trajectory and he does not understand how the city can continue to raise
taxes 5-6% each year. He stated we are trying to keep St. Louis Park affordable, noting
the city is spending 14% to service city debt. He asked how taxpayers know if they are
getting bang for their buck. He also asked if bicycle lanes are being used, about the 20-
mph speed limit, and how does the city know if the money being spent on these
programs is making these programs work. He stated the city is spending money, but
how can we be sure it is coming back to residents. He stated before the council
approves this, he wants them to think about return on investment.
Kevin Mattson, 4860 Park Commons Drive, stated he has lived in the city for 3 years and
owns a condominium. He stated they look forward to living here for the rest of their
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 6, 2021
lives and he appreciates the investment the council is making. He stated he is a
taxpayer, and no one likes to pay taxes, but he appreciates the discussion.
Stan Jurgenson, 2309 Westridge Ln., stated he appreciated the help he received from
staff. He stated the 2021 budget included funds in case there is no assistance for COVID
from federal or county, but he understands $6.5 million was received in 2021. He stated
he is not sure how much of these funds went out. He stated social security has a cost-of-
living increase, but not private pensions so many residents are cost burdened, and many
must make tough decisions. He stated he appreciates the council’s work on this.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Rog clarified the council is discussing a 5.58% increase at this time.
Councilmember Kraft asked about the differences between a market value levy versus a
tax capacity levy, noting the EDA and HRA are market value levies. Ms. Schmitt stated
the market value levy takes the total market value of the property and applies the tax
rate. The tax capacity levy takes the market value and pulls it down to a tax capacity rate
and then applies it. Ultimately, the difference is how they are calculated by the county.
Councilmember Kraft asked if the formula is applied equally across all property
classifications. Ms. Schmitt stated it is not. Councilmember Kraft asked which
classifications are better off in a market value levy and which are better in a tax capacity
levy. Ms. Schmitt stated the legislature created the tax capacity levy to benefit lower
value homes. As home values increase, the homestead exemption decreases.
Councilmember Kraft stated the tax capacity levy is more progressive and less
burdensome on lower value homes. He explained this means the decision to have an
EDA levy instead of putting this in the general levy further impacts lower valued homes.
If the same amount was in the general levy versus the EDA levy, it would be more
progressive. Ms. Schmitt clarified that market value is taxed evenly across the board. He
pointed out the 5.58% tax levy is the general levy, but the actual increase in the amount
of levy being collected from people is not 5.58%, it is 6.9%. The council is choosing to
put $500,000 in an EDA levy and not including it in the general levy.
Mayor Spano stated the council is not deciding on the final levy tonight and will have
the opportunity to discuss this further at the next meeting. The purpose of the item on
the agenda was to conduct a public hearing and take public comment on the proposed
levy before a final decision is made. He stated if Councilmember Kraft had a question of
fact or point of clarification for staff, that is ok, but a question of policy is different and
not what council was prepared to discuss tonight, noting council has been discussing the
budget and the specific concerns around the EDA levy for months.
Councilmember Kraft stated he would like to make a request of staff for the next
meeting and propose that another alternative be evaluated.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 6, 2021
Mayor Spano stated that seemed inappropriate given that there would not be another
opportunity before the final vote for the council to discuss at a study session and dig
deeper into the details of the new alternative.
Councilmember Kraft stated the council was just given new information that the levies
are calculated differently and where they choose to put the funds has an impact. If
council chooses to put those funds into the general levy instead of the EDA levy it will
fall less hard on lower value homes.
Councilmember Kraft made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Mohamed, to ask
staff to develop an alternative 2022 budget without an EDA levy and to absorb those
funds into the general levy, to the extent possible, consistent with city values.
Councilmember Mohamed stated the information discussed tonight about how the
different levies are calculated was also new to her and knowing this, she would have
thought differently about the EDA levy. While taxes are necessary, if we are asking our
lowest-income residents to pay, that is an equity issue. She would like to see the
additional information from staff so she fully understands the impact of the levy and can
explain it to anyone who asks her about it. She noted she does not want to tax people
in a way that results in low-income or fixed income communities being
disproportionately impacted. Ultimately, she wants to have all the information to be
able to make the best decision possible.
Councilmember Harris also noted the HRA levy, which also does not appear to be taxed
as progressively.
Councilmember Kraft agreed and stated because the HRA levy has been in place for
years, he felt that at this time it was best to focus on the new levy being proposed, the
EDA levy. He noted he would be open to looking at the HRA levy as well in the future. He
clarified he was only asking for the opportunity to see what it would look like if the EDA
levy was not established and instead those funds were put into the general levy, to the
extent possible.
Councilmember Rog stated while she supports the expenditures that are recommended
to be a part of the EDA levy, she still does not support the creation of a new levy. She
explained she would like to see the expenditures currently included in the EDA levy be
folded into the general levy.
Ms. Keller stated she appreciated that there was some additional clarity in how the
information was presented today. She noted this is the reason why Ms. Schmitt has
been saying that this is the reason why we can’t just add everything together into one
number, because of the different valuation practices behind it. She clarified that from
staff’s perspective the information presented tonight is not new information, it perhaps
was clearer about why there are differences. She asked Ms. Schmitt to clarify what
could be included if the EDA levy was wrapped into the general fund levy with a
maximum increase of 6.5%.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 6, 2021
Ms. Schmitt stated if the EDA levy were eliminated, they would be able to absorb an
additional $330,000 in the general fund levy to keep it at the 6.5% maximum increase
that was set.
Councilmember Brausen stated he understood all along how the EDA and HRA levies
were calculated and applied based on market value capacity. He added the information
presented tonight was not new information to him and noted this was how it was
presented in staff reports throughout the budget process as well. He stated
development of the alternative budget will require staff to jump through many hoops to
figure out how to redistribute the funds and stay within the maximum levy target. He
added when spread out across the billions of dollars of property value in the city, the
burden of the EDA levy would result in minimal impacts, so he will not support this
motion.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she was not aware of this difference either and
appreciated the clarification from staff. She noted she would like to see the alternative
options so she can better understand the impacts of the levy.
Councilmember Harris stated the policy itself and how it is explained to the taxpayers
may warrant further conversation; however, given the scope of the conversation, it
does not feel like the council would be able to give it the attention and time it deserves
within the next 7 days. She reiterated that she would like to discuss in the future in
terms of the council’s governance policies overall.
Councilmember Kraft stated he appreciated the additional clarity from staff and found it
to be very helpful.
Mayor Spano asked what percentage of the budget was represented by the funds in the
proposed EDA levy. Ms. Schmitt stated she can run the calculations for council, but she
does know it is 1% or less. The maximum EDA levy allowed this year is $1.48 million, a
little bit less than the HRA. If staff was going to look at it, they would want to compare
the difference between tax capacity and market value at $1.4 million to be able to see
more than roughly a one-dollar difference.
Mayor Spano questioned if a substantially different budget proposal was brought
forward, would the city have to do anything else from a legal standpoint given that the
truth in taxation hearing had already been conducted. Mr. Mattick stated the maximum
tax levy set in September cannot go up.
Mayor Spano stated he does not take issue with discussing the question, he takes issue
with the way it is being proposed. He will not support this as he does not feel it is fair to
people or to council to try to push through a substantive shift in the way we fund our
work at this point in the process.
Councilmember Rog stated while she does agree with the proposal in principle, she will
not support this motion given the burden on staff and the likelihood that this isn’t going
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3a) Page 8
Title: City council meeting minutes of December 6, 2021
to go forward at this time. She noted she does look forward to future discussions about
the EDA and HRA levies and looking at how they are funded.
The motion failed 3-4 (Brausen, Harris, Rog, and Spano, opposed).
7. Requests, petitions, and communications from the public – none.
8. Resolutions, ordinances, motions, and discussion items
8a. 2022 zero waste packaging acceptable materials and exemptions list
administrative rules report
Ms. Fisher presented the report.
Councilmember Brausen asked if any substitutes have been found for coffee cup lids.
Ms. Fisher stated yes, there are certified compostable lids available now.
Councilmember Kraft stated he is supportive of the changes and asked if there has been
compliance with the policies. Ms. Fisher stated the last couple of years have been
difficult in dealing with businesses, due to the difficult circumstances of the pandemic.
She stated generally there has been compliance, but there is always room for
improvement. She added there is ongoing work to educate on this topic.
Councilmember Rog asked how the city engages in the disposal end, with compost and
recycling, and if there will be more signage on this. Ms. Fisher stated this is a challenge,
and while staff has not done any studies on signage, they do work one on one with
businesses and help them get the right services. She added certainly composting and
recycling are available and affected businesses should be contracting with them for
recycling and organics collection.
Councilmember Rog stated work on these ordinances will benefit everything the city is
working on regarding this.
Councilmember Brausen stated this has been in effect 4 years. He noted he is ecstatic
with the results he has seen in St. Louis Park and thanked staff and the council for work
done on this.
Mayor Spano added this has been a priority in the city and he noted positive county
results were due to changes made in St. Louis Park, adding he is in support of the
proposals related to zero waste packaging. He asked if the exemption list had changed
over time. Ms. Fisher stated in addition to the two exemptions recommended to be
removed for 2022, one other exemption has been removed in previous years.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to approve
the zero waste packaging acceptable materials and exemptions list and administrative
rules for 2022.

regarding the proposed tariffed on-bill financing pilot program
Councilmember Kraft noted this letter to the public utilities commission (PUC). He
stated this is the city investing time and influence to get a pilot program put in place by
the utility, to create cost savings, make homes healthier, and meet the city’s climate
goals.
It was moved by Councilmember Kraft, seconded by Councilmember Dumalag, to
authorize a comment letter to be submitted to the PUC regarding proposed tariffed on-
bill financing pilot program.
The motion passed 7-0.

applications are due next month. She asked about the status of the project. Ms. Barton
stated the developer has not submitted the application yet but has established an
escrow to perform a traffic study, which will be available to council in a few weeks.
It was moved by Councilmember Dumalag, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
adopt Resolution No. 21-151 providing preliminary approval for the issuance of
multifamily housing revenue bonds to finance the 3801 Wooddale Ave. S. housing
project.

Resolution No. 21-153
Councilmember Brausen stated this is the Morries Hyundai dealership, adding he is
excited to see they are moving to all LED light on the car lot and dimming them later in
the evening. He added there is no requirement under a CUP for solar installation, and he
would like to consider in the future that commercial partners be looked for to do solar
farm installation.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to adopt
Resolution No. 21-152 to rescind Resolution Nos. 3050 and 5979 and adopt Resolution
No. 21-153 approving the conditional use permit for 6639 Wayzata Blvd.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Ms. Keller stated the police department is accepting donations for Toys for Tots. Donations can
be dropped off in the lobby of the police department by Dec. 15, 2021. She added the vaccine
program is at 77% with a goal of 80%. Ms. Keller also noted all council business for the year will
be wrapped up on Dec. 13, 2021, and the meetings for Dec. 20 and 27, 2021, will be canceled.
Councilmember Rog noted the Be the Light winter solstice walk, which has the theme of mental
health, will be held on Dec. 21, 2021, 6:30 – 8 p.m. and preregistration on the city website for
the free event. She added the Holiday Train is online again this year, on Saturday, Dec. 18,
2021, and donations to STEP are encouraged.
Councilmember Brausen stated the Exchange Medical Arts building had its grand opening this
week with new office space in the community.
Mayor Spano wished a happy last day of Hanukkah to those celebrating. He thanked
Councilmember Mohamed for representing him at a ribbon cutting for the Loffler grand
opening.
Mayor Spano added he was at the tree lighting at the West End and thanked Councilmember

Councilmember Kraft stated on page 2 it should read, “…related to race and traffic

Councilmember Kraft noted on page 3 it should read, “…aim to make it much easier to

investing the total amount of tax dollars being captured, how much goes to the city and
where are dollars going and also what TIF gets the city, noting…”

adopt Resolution No. 21-157, authorizing the 2022 final EDA levy.
Councilmember Kraft stated if this item has been considered after the other proposed

potentially resulted in not having the Climate Investment Fund, which was not rational.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: Special city council meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
Mayor Spano stated he wants the public to know that the council has been working on
and discussing the budget for most of the year. He added the council takes this decision
very seriously and have had many conversations to get to this point.
The motion passed 5-2 (Kraft and Rog opposed).
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Dumalag, to
adopt Resolution No. 21-155, approving 2022 budgets and authorizing 2022 final
property tax levy, Resolution No. 21-156 authorizing the 2022 final HRA levy, and
Resolution No. 21-158 approving the 2022-2031 capital improvement plan as presented.
Councilmember Brausen noted that during his eight years on council he has always
stated that the adoption of the tax levies to pay for the budget is the single most
important thing the group does as city council. He stated the council takes this
responsibility very seriously and has worked on this since April 2021, and staff since
before that. He also noted there have been multiple study sessions held discussing these
issues at great length, as well as at a public meeting. He stated a former councilmember
had stated, “a city’s budget reflects its values,” and he agrees with this statement. He
added the budget adopted will continue to help fund essential city services, and the
drink, drive, and flush services all have come to expect. He stated by paying staff
commensurate with their value including a general 3% pay increase, this level of service
is being maintained. Councilmember Brausen noted the general fund levy mostly pays
for the 270 city employees and municipal services, public safety and fire protection,
seasonal workers, equipment, supplies, vehicles, and machinery, as well as the city’s
facilities, 56 parks, the Westwood Hills Nature Center, Rec and Aquatic Center and the
ROC, as well as transportation and utility infrastructure. He stated the EDA and HRA
levies allow the city to address climate crisis and creating and maintaining affordable
housing in St. Louis Park. He stated he is confident the city and staff are working hard to
deliver a fair return on residents’ tax dollars, and city staff does an incredible job.
Councilmember Brausen stated no one likes tax increases, adding he relies on 2 part-
time jobs and is a senior who notices his property tax increases as well, at 32.6%. He
explained this is more a function of market value, noting buyers are willing to pay a
premium to live in this desirable area. He stated in some ways the city is a victim of its
own success. He added he was happy to learn about the assistance programs in Ms.
Schmitt’s presentation. He and his wife continue to live in St. Louis Park because it is a
great city to live in. It has a good economy, good schools, a good and improving
transportation system, nice public amenities and good neighbors who continue to be
willing to invest in their city in the form of property taxes to pay for services and
programs they view as essential to a good quality of life. He stated he will support
budget and levies as proposed.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she has heard and received input from residents and
their concerns about tax increases. She agreed this is the most important decision the
council makes; they discuss it in depth all year and do not take it lightly. She noted last
week she had some hesitation related to the EDA levy but is comfortable now and will
support the levies and budget for all the reasons noted by Councilmember Brausen. She
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 5
Title: Special city council meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
added that St. Louis Park is a great city that offers many very ambitious services and
programs. She stated as next year comes, she will continue to be mindful of allocations
and if anyone finds these taxes to be a burden, please contact the council or staff to ask
for information on assistance programs or resources.
Councilmember Kraft thanked Councilmember Brausen for his comments, adding he will
support these three levies and capital improvement plan. He noted most of this goes to
fund staff and with COVID, staff continues to do an excellent job under trying
circumstances. He stated there are many examples, including one most recently when
streets were cleared in the middle of the night after a snowstorm.
Councilmember Kraft stated he previously thought the baseline for budget growth
should be the rate of inflation, plus population and business growth in the city which he
thought was in the 3-4% range this year. He noted without the increase in levy for debt,
that is about where they landed because the debt accounts for approximately 2.25% of
the increase and relative to the debt increase, these are for projects that he supported
so he also needs to support this level of spending. He added he heard the people who
spoke last week with concerns about their tax levels, but added council knew from the
beginning because of home valuations that taxes would be going up percentagewise for
properties at the low end of the range. He stated there is a good chance that this trend
will continue next year, so it behooves the city in 2022 to look closely at underlying
assumptions going forward. He added this reinforces the need to increase the council’s
attention on affordable home ownership in St. Louis Park and what kinds of things can
be done policy-wise to encourage more availability of homes to keep prices from going
up as much as they are.
Councilmember Rog stated she will support the proposed levies and capital
improvement plan as well. She stated the budget includes many items that will improve
services and programs in the community including a new climbing wall at Wolfe Park,
new rubber mats for skaters at the Rec Center, exercise equipment upgrades for first
responders, significant software investments at city hall for improving efficiencies, new
dispatch supervisor for police and fire, increased mental health professional services,
new sustainability specialist to facilitate the incentives programs to save residents and
businesses money, raises for high performing staff, infrastructure improvements to keep
roads and trails safe and in good condition, and debt service for projects that she has
supported. She noted she has heard from residents who feel city spending is out of
control and from residents who love everything the city is doing and are happy to pay
for it. She heard from those who worry about being priced out of their home and
referenced the assistance programs that are available. She heard from folks who want a
good return on investment, listened to and read every comment from residents, and
reviewed the materials to make the best decisions. She stated her individual position if
she opposed this, would not make a difference as there is majority support for this
increase and there has been majority support for increases each year she has been on
council. She stated voting against past proposed levies did not change anything and only
sent an unintended message that she does not support the great work being done in the
city or staff’s efforts to respond effectively to council direction, which she does support.
Going forward she is committed to working toward more precision budgeting in the
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 6
Title: Special city council meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
future and with new city leadership there is interest in and support for doing that. She
explained every year she does what she can to understand where tax dollars are going
and how it benefits residents in order to make the most informed decision possible. In
the past two years, and this year, she has not voted against the proposed levy increases
in part because she has sought out and been provided with information that helps her
understand how the budget reflects the city’s strategic priorities and how difficult it is to
find areas where cuts could be made and still meet resident expectations. She stated
this year’s increase is in large part due to the Dakota-Edgewood bridge, a long planned
and much wanted connecting point across the city, which she supported. She added this
budget is complex and has many interconnected parts. She stated under the new city
manager she looks forward to a more outcomes-based budgeting approach and
evaluating and communicating the return on investment of tax dollars spent. She noted
like Councilmember Kraft she does not believe the current rate of increase year after
year is desirable or sustainable and she is committed to working with council and staff
to develop a more precise approach to taxing and spending in the coming years.
Councilmember Dumalag stated she will also support the budget and levies presented
this evening and thanked staff for their work on this over the past year. She stated these
investments are worthwhile and noted the budget reflects the priorities of the city. She
added when she was campaigning, she spoke with residents who appreciate the services
and amenities of the city, but others did worry about being priced out of their homes.
She is happy to see there are assistance programs available for some folks to help pay
their taxes, and the council should be mindful of this, especially when the city has made
it a priority to offer programs that facilitate entry into homeownership and wealth
creation, and she would not want to leave a segment of neighbors behind.
Councilmember Harris thanked staff for their work over the months on a budget that
absolutely demonstrates shared commitments and priorities. She had advocated for a
4.5% levy increase versus the 5.58% and acknowledged it is difficult to articulate where
specifically the budget should be cut given the service level expected in the community.
She stated there has been an uptick in the need for public safety services, and the
inclusion of the new dispatch supervisor position will help maintain the high level of
public safety services provided in the city. She noted she has also heard from many
residents how much they appreciate the high level of day-to-day operational services
provided by the city and the quality-of-life indicators the city supports and facilitates.
She explained for all these reasons and more she is in support of the proposed budget
and levies as she believes they reflect the city’s strategic priorities and maintaining
service levels.
Mayor Spano stated he will also support this budget and levies as presented. He
highlighted the work of the staff members who all do a fine job of trying to deliver the
services that residents have come to expect. He agreed with Councilmember Brausen’s
comments and added the city’s infrastructure must be upgraded to maintain basic core
services and the people who work on and implement those services. He noted one of
the main things the proposed increase will do is moderate future increases. A lower levy
now would require double digit increases in subsequent years to maintain current
service levels and programs.

Councilmember Mohamed commented on the issue of equity and the way the council
talks about it as a group. She stated in the last couple of years, there has been a practice
of weaponizing equity among the council. She noted she is happy the council talks about
equity and is willing to evaluate their decisions through that lens, but at times there
have been claims of inequity that were not backed by data or a lived experience and it
scares people. She explained every time she makes a decision, she fears that it will
negatively affect people who look like her and she puts this responsibility on herself
willingly. She stated as elected officials the council needs to be careful about what is
said, especially when talking about equity, because it affects real people. Equity is not a
buzz word. She hopes the council will reflect on this and consider new ways to discuss
equity and apply that lens to decisions going forward. She stated it is everyone’s right to
look at things in an equitable manner, but added the council needs to be sure before
they claim an issue of equity that they have data or lived experience to back those
claims. She stated people of color are not the council’s weapons or shields, and the
council should not be weaponizing equity, because it is too important of an issue. She
understands with the murder of George Floyd, the council has wanted to look at equity
in a new way, talk about it, and they all want to make sure they are doing it right, but
weaponizing it is not the way. She recognized this is a new journey for the council,
including herself, and everyone is learning but she wanted to bring it to council’s
attention that this is something she has noticed at times in council discussions.
Councilmember Dumalag thanked Councilmember Mohamed for her comments. She
stated when the council is making decisions and using phrases such as “we have to
make sure this is equitable” or “we have to make sure that our BIPOC residents aren’t
left behind”, such as when there was a pause at the last meeting with respect to a
budget decision, it felt like an instance where the two people of color on the council
were used to support the effort to change course or take a pause. She encouraged the
council to be mindful of bringing up topics like that because it does impact how people
make policy decisions.
The motion passed 7-0.
8b. 2022 non-union employee compensation. Resolution No. 21-159
Ms. Timpone presented the staff report.
Councilmember Brausen clarified the pay increase is dependent upon supervisor
recommendation and asked if exemplary employees may get double that increase, if
they are moving up in their pay grade towards the maximum, and unsatisfactory
performance will get no increase. Ms. Timpone stated that is correct.
Councilmember Mohamed stated she is supportive of this increase and is happy the city
is staying competitive in the market, especially considering the high level of resignations
across the country.
Councilmember Rog thanked staff for their work.

Title: Special city council meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to adopt
Resolution No. 21-159 confirming a 3% general increase for non-union employees
effective Jan. 1, 2022.
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. Recognition of Councilmember Rachel Harris
On behalf of the city council and city manager, Mayor Spano recognized Rachel Harris
for her years of service as a Councilmember of Ward 3 for St. Louis Park from Jan. 2,
2018 to Jan. 3, 2022.
Mayor Spano stated Councilmember Harris is one of the most pleasant and earnest
people he has served with, adding she listens and is an incredibly compassionate person
who cares for others, and in this world, we need more of that. He stated the council
values and appreciates her and her work and the people of Ward 3 were in great hands
for four years.
Councilmember Mohamed said Councilmember Harris was her representative for a
while and the first person she met when she was getting active in the community. She
stated it has been an honor to work beside Councilmember Harris, who is a caring
person. She added the Ward 3 residents have appreciated Councilmember Harris’ work
and will miss her.
Councilmember Dumalag said she remembered volunteering on Councilmember Harris’
campaign and participating with her on Vision 3.0. She stated she has known
Councilmember Harris personally and as a colleague and is impressed by her leadership
and service.
Councilmember Kraft stated Councilmember Harris encouraged him while on the ESC
and gave valuable advice when he decided to run for city council. He added he admires
that Councilmember Harris is relentlessly positive, noting it is a real talent, and she takes
care to highlight the good work that comes before council. He stated Councilmember
Harris’ steadfast support of the real West End is admirable, especially as TexaTonka
continues to revitalize, adding it is something Councilmember Harris should have great
pride in. Councilmember Kraft wished Councilmember Harris the best and stated he will
miss her and looks forward to her joining the future Transportation Commission.
Councilmember Rog added she admires Councilmember Harris’ compassion and caring
attitude towards her colleagues, staff, and residents, adding she is deeply thoughtful,
responsive, and engaged. She noted Councilmember Harris has accomplished much in
the last 4 years, especially the revitalization of TexaTonka, and many will miss her. She
wished Councilmember Harris all the best.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is disappointed and personally sad as he will miss
working with Councilmember Harris. He found her combination of compassion, passion
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 9
Title: Special city council meeting minutes of December 13, 2021
and intelligence to be a gift to the council and the city. He added Councilmember Harris
brought a systems approach, is a strategic thinker, and looks at the details in depth. He
stated Councilmember Harris cares deeply about the transportation system and helped
improve it with pedestrian and biking systems. He noted residents in Ward 3 and the
rest of the city are much better off because of Councilmember Harris’ service and he
thanked Councilmember Harris for her work.
Ms. Keller stated in the short time they have worked together she has admired
Councilmember Harris’ openness to new ways of thinking about the world, her
collaboration and welcoming nature. She stated she and staff have benefitted from this
and Councilmember Harris’ responsiveness to constituents and balancing their needs
with staff needs has been appreciated. She added Councilmember Harris’ work on
transportation, pedestrian, and bike-friendliness within the city, as well as advocacy on
health, mental health and wellness, teamwork and how thoughtful Councilmember
Harris is in researching decisions are all things that will be missed. She stated on behalf
of herself and staff, they wish Councilmember Harris all the best.
Councilmember Harris reflected on her time on council and areas she is proud of as well
as some areas for change. She stated on the council she learned a lot about teamwork
and during her campaign, she and her team walked through Ward 3 twice and together
did 220,000 steps. She stated during her campaign time, it was the longest job interview
she ever had. After coming on council, she worked on some tough projects and made
tough decisions. Councilmember Harris stated she is very proud of the Westwood Hills
Nature Center, where she had also worked during high school and college. She
referenced her work on the TexaTonka retail area that had laid dormant for 30 years.
She added the TexaTonka neighborhood association was developed, as well as the
TexaTonka small area plan committee, which were both efforts to help engage the
public on projects within the area.
Councilmember Harris stated the Dakota-Edgewood Bridge was another area she
worked on with colleagues from Wards 1 and 4. She also referenced the sidewalk poetry
program, first generation homeownership, and the Just Deeds program. She
appreciated Oak Park residents welcoming her in and to all staff, she is appreciative for
ride-alongs with both police and fire. She stated in the future, she would like to see
changes related to having additional staff support for city council, who can assist
councilmembers in managing engagements and public appearances. She stated with a
full-time job and now being married, she no longer has the bandwidth to give time to
city council. She asked the council to look at having more support so people will be able
to serve, which could also lead to further equitable representation on council as well.
Councilmember Harris stated there has been a growing need for public health response
and urged the council to explore a Health for All policy, for mental health, physical
health and wellbeing, access to nature, mental health for staff, and transportation. She
stated she owes a debt of gratitude to the councilmembers and staff, all the teams, and
her husband Dan. She also thanked her parents for their help on the campaign and
continued support of her ambitions and political interests, adding that being a
councilmember does take a village.

8d. Memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the State of Minnesota and local
governments and authorizing participation in national opioid settlements.
Resolution No. 21-160
Councilmember Mohamed stated she has some personal attachments to this topic,
noting the epidemic does not have boundaries. She stated she has had mothers come to
her about their child’s addiction and asking what they can do to address this. She stated
the city’s response to this is amazing and noted the epidemic is affecting the BIPOC
community disproportionately. She hopes the city continues to collaborate with other
cities including Minneapolis. She looks forward to addressing this issue with community
members, including the Somali, Black, and Native American communities.
It was moved by Councilmember Mohamed, seconded by Councilmember Harris, to
adopt Resolution No. 21-160 approving the MOA between the State of Minnesota and
local governments and authorizing participation in national opioid settlements.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Ms. Keller encouraged everyone to sign up for snow emergency alerts at WWW.SLPsnow.org.
Mayor Spano stated last week there was news about car jackings in the city. He noted the
police are working diligently and offering rewards and collaborating with neighboring cities to
try to solve this problem. He noted police and staff are also putting out many messages about
how to avoid being a victim of crime and how to stay safe. He asked everyone to take all the
precautions they can.
10. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

Title: Special assessment – sewer service line repair at 3105 Idaho Avenue South
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing a special assessment for the
repair of the sewer service line at 3105 Idaho Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN.
P.I.D. 17-117-21-12-0209.
Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by
the city council.
Summary: Kelly Finnerty , owner of the single -family residence at 3105 Idaho Avenue South, has
requested the city authorize the repair of the sewer service line for his/her 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 and/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 is unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed,
submitted, and approved by city staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the sewer
service line in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this
repair qualifies for the city’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the city
to authorize the sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible
cost of the repair has been determined to be $8,965.00.
Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special
assessment.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Special assessment – sewer service line repair at 3267 Blackstone Avenue South
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment for the
repair of the sewer service line at 3267 Blackstone Avenue South , St. Louis Park, MN.
P.I.D. 16-117-21-23-0021.
Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by
the city council.
Summary: Christopher Bushaw, owner of the single -family residence at 3267 Blackstone
Avenue South, has requested the city authorize the repair of the sewer service line for his home
and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the city’s special assessment policy.
The city requires the re pair 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 and/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 is unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed,
submitted, and approved by city staff. The property owner hired a contractor and repaired the sewer
service line in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this
repair qualifies for the city’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned the city
to authorize the sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible
cost of the repair has been determined to be $8,355.00.
Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special
assessment.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Final payment resolution – Historic Walker Lake Phase 2 – Project No. 4018-1050
Discussion
Background: Annually, the city rehabilitates several miles of local streets as part of the
pavement management program. The Historic Walker Lake Phase 2 improvement project
included street rehabilitation, streetlight and watermain replacement, storm sewer,
landscaping, sidewalk, and ADA improvements.
On June 1, 2020, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $2,437,712.90 to Eureka
Construction Inc. for the Historic Walker Lake Phase 2 improvement project, project 4018-1050.
The final contract amount, $2,495,229.42, is 2.4% more than the contract amount.
During construction, some unexpected items came up that added to the cost of the project. The
additional work that was completed increased the cost of the contract by $34,515.91, resulting
in a final contract amount for this project of $2,472,228.81. There were also quantity ove rruns
resulting in a cost increase of $23,000.61, which brought the total cost of the project to
$2,495,229.42.
The contract changes are attributed to the need to modify a storm sewer system that conflicted
with a 16" gas line, relocation of a light pole, contractor delay caused by an underground duct
vault in the same location as our proposed conduit, and the additional cost for the contractor to
come back in the summer of 2021 to finish the project as they were unable to finalize until CP
Rail completed their railroad crossings. This additional work was necessary to ensure quality
street, sidewalk, and utility infrastructure for years to come.
Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor
under Contract No. 67-20 has been calculated as follows:
Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 2,437,712.90
Change orders/ extra work + $ 34,515.91
Cost increases + $ 23,000.61
Final contract cost $ 2,495,229.42
Previous payments -$ 2,363,941.96
Balance due $ 131,287.46
This project was included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Funding was provided by
the following sources: pavement management, water utility, storm utility, s anitary sewer utility
and general obligation bonds (sidewalk and bikeway).
Due to the nature of our construction projects, unforeseen circumstances, and resident
feedback, it is not unusual to have additional work added to our projects. To address this, when
the bid is awarded, we assume a 5% contingency for all aspects of the project. The costs
detailed above represent a 2.4% increase to this project. This is within the planned contingency
and there are adequate funds to cover these costs.

Title: Accept donation from Lunds & Byerlys
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution approving the acceptance of a monetary
donation from Lunds & Byerlys dedicated to the police reserve program.
Policy consideration: Does the St. Louis Park 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.
On Dec. 6, 2021, an armed robbery occurred at the Lunds & Byerlys stores in St. Louis Park and
Edina. Following these incidents management requested a police presence at the St. Louis Park
location until they could secure additional security. Police Reserve Officer John Litecky
volunteered 8 hours of time assisting with a police presence until management was able to
secure additional security. In recognitio n of the volunteer assistance, Lunds & Byerlys would
like to make a $300 donation to the police reserve program.
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 there needs to be a resolution adopted
by the city council determining the gift serves a public purpose and acceptance of the gift.
Financial or budget considerations: None
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build
social capital through community engagement.

Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing the Hennepin County Grant
Agreement to partially fund the city’s residential waste reduction, curbside recycling and
organics programs and multifamily waste reduction and recycling programs.
Policy consideration: Does the council wis h to receive funding from the county to help pay for
our residential and multifamily waste reduction, recycling and organics programs?
Summary: Each year the city submits a grant report and application for SCORE funding for
residential curbside waste reduction and recycling. SCORE (Select Committee On Recycling and
the Environment) provides funding for waste reduction and recycling programs in Minnesota.
SCORE funds are derived from the State of Minnesota’s solid waste manage ment tax on
garbage services. The funds are distributed to counties for these programs. Since 1988 the city
has received annual grants from Hennepin County as an aid in supporting our programs. The
county’s share of SCORE funds is divided between cities on a proportional basis by the number
of households for residential recycling and multifamily recycling. Funds for residential organics
are now provided based on a participation target of 50% set by the county.
The county’s funding policy (grant program) covers the period from January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2025. The agreement provides for the distribution of SCORE funds that the
county receives from the state . The grant program splits funds between residential recycling
(40%), multifamily recycling (10%) and organics recycling (50%).
This report and request are based on a Hennepin County requirement to provide a council
resolution authorizing each agreement. This particular resolution covers the Residential Waste
Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement which will terminate on December 31, 2025. The
amounts for 2022 are not yet known, though it’s expected to be similar to the previous
agreement, which was $62,868.76 for recycling and $110,740 for organics in 2021.
Financial or budget consideration: The funding from this ongoing grant program is used to help
pay for the city’s waste reduction, recycling and organics programs.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

2.GRANT REQUIREMENTS
GRANTEE shall apply for annual grant funds and operate its Waste Reduction and
Recycling Programs as more fully described in Attachment A, the Residential Waste
Reduction and Recycling Funding Policy.
3.GRANT DISBURSEMENT
The COUNTY will distribute SCORE funds that the COUNTY receives from the state to

different purposes: 1) general funding for waste reduction and recycling programs, 2)
curbside organics recycling programs, 3) organics drop-off sites, 4) multifamily waste
reduction and recycling.
SCORE funds are based on revenue received by the State of Minnesota from the solid

Eligible households are defined as households in single family through fourplex
residential buildings or other residential buildings where each household has its
own recycling collection container to set out for curbside collection and receives
recycling collection service through the city. In cities with open recycling
collection, eligible households are defined as households in single family through
fourplex residential buildings where each household has its own recycling
collection container to set out for curbside collection. The number of eligible
households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on
January 1 of each funding year. GRANTEE will report the number in its
application for funding.
B. Curbside organics recycling programs
COUNTY will dedicate 50% of SCORE funds to provide funding for curbside
organics recycling programs. Funds will be allocated using participation targets
for each city. Funding is not contingent upon meeting the participation target. The
following formula will be used to calculate GRANTEE’s curbside organics
recycling grant amount.

COUNTY will take 10% of SCORE funds, subtract the amount allocated to
organics drop-off sites, and dedicate the remainder to provide funding for
multifamily waste reduction and recycling programs. For the purposes of this
policy, city waste reduction and recycling programs include organics recycling.
Funds will be allocated based on the number of multifamily households. The
following formula will be used to calculate GRANTEE’s multifamily waste
reduction and recycling grant amount.

Multifamily households in cities with organized recycling collection are defined as 1) households
in buildings where each household does not have its own recycling collection container to set out
for curbside collection, or 2) households in buildings that do not receive recycling collection
service through the city, including apartment buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and
cooperative housing units where a property manager or association coordinates collection
service. Multifamily households in cities with open recycling collection are defined as
households in residential buildings larger than a fourplex.
The COUNTY will make two equal payments to the GRANTEE. Those two payments
will provide the sum of each city’s total grant amount for general waste reduction and
recycling programs, curbside organics recycling programs, organics drop-off sites, and
multifamily waste reduction and recycling. One payment will be made after COUNTY
receives the applications for funding from GRANTEE. A second payment will be made
after basic program requirements, education and outreach requirements, and performance
have been confirmed and approved. If GRANTEE meets the requirements, both
payments will be made during the same calendar year.
4.INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
GRANTEE shall select the means, method, and manner of performing Grant
Requirements, if any. Nothing is intended nor should be construed as creating or
establishing the relationship of a partnership or a joint venture between the parties or as

may include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and
its implementing regulations (HIPAA). For clarification and not limitation,
COUNTY hereby notifies GRANTEE that the requirements of Minnesota Statutes
section 13.05, subd. 11, apply to this Agreement. GRANTEE shall promptly
notify COUNTY if GRANTEE becomes aware of any potential claims, or facts
giving rise to such claims, under the MGDPA or other data, data security, privacy
or confidentiality laws, and shall also comply with the other requirements of this
Section.
Classification of data, including trade secret data, will be determined pursuant to
applicable law and, accordingly, merely labeling data as “trade secret” by
GRANTEE does not necessarily make the data protected as such under any
applicable law.
B.In addition to the foregoing MGDPA and other applicable law obligations,
GRANTEE shall comply with the following duties and obligations regarding
County Data and County Systems (as each term is defined herein). As used
herein, “County Data” means any data or information, and any copies thereof,
created by GRANTEE or acquired by GRANTEE from or through COUNTY
pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to handwriting, typewriting,
printing, photocopying, photographing, facsimile transmitting, and every other
means of recording any form of communication or representation, including
electronic media, email, letters, works, pictures, drawings, sounds, videos, or
symbols, or combinations thereof.
If GRANTEE has access to or possession/control of County Data, GRANTEE
shall safeguard and protect the County Data in accordance with generally
accepted industry standards, all laws, and all then applicable COUNTY policies,
procedures, rules and directions. To the extent of any inconsistency between
accepted industry standards and such COUNTY policies, procedures, rules and
directions, GRANTEE shall notify COUNTY of the inconsistency and follow
COUNTY direction. GRANTEE shall immediately notify COUNTY of any
known or suspected security breach or unauthorized access to County Data, then
comply with all responsive directions provided by COUNTY. The foregoing

shall not be construed as eliminating, limiting or otherwise modifying
GRANTEE’s indemnification obligations herein.
C.Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement:
(1)At the discretion of COUNTY and as specified in writing by the Contract
Administrator, GRANTEE shall deliver to the Contract Administrator all
County Data so specified by COUNTY.
(2)COUNTY shall have full ownership and control of all such County Data.
If COUNTY permits GRANTEE to retain copies of the County Data,
GRANTEE shall not, without the prior written consent of COUNTY or
unless required by law, use any of the County Data for any purpose or in
any manner whatsoever; shall not assign, license, loan, sell, copyright,
patent and/or transfer any or all of such County Data; and shall not do
anything which in the opinion of COUNTY would affect COUNTY’s
ownership and/or control of such County Data.
(3)Except to the extent required by law or as agreed to by COUNTY,
GRANTEE shall not retain any County Data that are confidential,
protected, privileged, not public, nonpublic, or private, as those
classifications are determined pursuant to applicable law. In addition,
GRANTEE shall, upon COUNTY’s request, certify destruction of any
County Data so specified by COUNTY.

Waste Reduction and
Recycling Funding Policy
January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2025
Department communication to the Hennepin County Board of
Commissioners on October 5, 2021
Page 16 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 1
I. Policy Overview
A.Background
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has determined that residential waste reduction
and recycling programs support county goals to make progress toward zero waste, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce disparities associated with waste disposal. The county
has adopted the goals established in State Statute and by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) in its Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Policy Plan and developed a
Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Funding Policy to help reach a 75% recycling rate by
2030.
B.SCORE funds
The county receives funding from the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and the
Environment (SCORE) for the development and implementation of waste reduction and
recycling programs. SCORE funds are based on revenue received by the State of Minnesota from
the solid waste management tax (SWMT) on garbage services and are subject to change based
on the SWMT revenue received by the state and funds allocated by the legislature.
C.Support for city programs
City recycling programs play an important role in the solid waste management system. The
county has funded city programs for over 30 years and will use this policy to make available all
SCORE funds to cities for residential waste reduction and recycling programs. SCORE funds will
be dedicated to four different purposes: 1) general funding for waste reduction and recycling
programs, 2) curbside organics recycling programs, 3) organics drop-off sites, and 4) multifamily
waste reduction and recycling. Funds distributed to cities for a calendar year will be based on
SCORE funds received by the county in the state’s corresponding fiscal year.
D.Term of the policy
Hennepin County is committed to implementing this policy from January 1, 2022 through
December 31, 2025. The county may revise this policy to align with strategic priorities developed
in the zero waste plan or solid waste management master plan. In addition, the county may
revise this policy if it determines changes are needed to assure compliance with state law and
MPCA goals established for metropolitan counties. If SCORE funds are eliminated from the state
budget or significantly reduced, the county will consult with cities at that time and develop a
recommendation to the board on future funding for residential waste reduction and recycling
programs.
Page 17 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 2
E.Grant agreements
Each city seeking funding under the terms of the Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling
Funding Policy must enter into a grant agreement with the county for a term concurrent with
the expiration of this policy, December 31, 2025. The grant agreement must be accompanied by
a resolution authorizing the city to enter into such an agreement. If cities form a joint powers
organization responsible for waste reduction and recycling programs, the county will enter into
a grant agreement with that entity and distribute funds to that organization.
II.Allocation of Funds
SCORE funds will be dedicated to the following purposes:
General funding for waste reduction and recycling programs
Curbside organics recycling programs
Organics drop-off sites
Multifamily waste reduction and recycling
A.Waste reduction and recycling programs
The county will dedicate 40% of SCORE funds to provide funding for city waste reduction and
recycling programs. For the purposes of this policy, city waste reduction and recycling programs
include organics recycling. Funds will be allocated based on number of eligible households with
curbside recycling service. The following formula will be used to calculate a city’s grant amount.
Number of eligible households
with curbside recycling in city
-------------------------------
Total number of eligible
households with curbside
recycling in county
x
40% of SCORE
funds available =
Waste reduction
and recycling
grant amount
available to the
city
Eligible households are defined as households in single family through fourplex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where each household has its own recycling collection
container to set out for curbside collection and receives recycling collection service through the
city. In cities with open recycling collection, eligible households are defined as households in
single family through fourplex residential buildings where each household has its own recycling
collection container to set out for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be
determined by counting the number of eligible households on January 1 of each funding year.
The city will report the number in its application for funding.
Page 18 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 3
B.Curbside organics recycling programs
The county will dedicate 50% of SCORE funds to provide funding for curbside organics recycling
programs. Funds will be allocated using participation targets for each city. Funding is not
contingent upon meeting the participation target. The following formula will be used to
calculate a city’s grant amount.
Target number of households
with curbside organics
recycling in city
-------------------------------
Total target number of
households with curbside
organics recycling in county
x 50% of SCORE
funds available =
Curbside organics
recycling amount
available to the city
Initial participation targets (as a percent of households with curbside recycling service):
50% for cities that contract for organics recycling service
10% for cities that require haulers to offer organics recycling service
C.Organics drop-off sites
The county will dedicate up to $3,300 per eligible city to provide funding for organics drop-off
site expenses. Cities with a population of less than 10,000 are eligible.
E.Multifamily waste reduction and recycling
The county will take 10% of SCORE funds, subtract the amount allocated to organics drop-off
sites, and dedicate the remainder to provide funding for multifamily waste reduction and
recycling programs. For the purposes of this policy, city waste reduction and recycling programs
include organics recycling. Funds will be allocated based on the number of multifamily
households. The following formula will be used to calculate a city’s grant amount.
Number of multifamily
households in city
-------------------------------
Total number of multifamily
households in county
x
10% of SCORE
funds available
minus organics
drop-off funds
=
Multifamily
waste reduction
and recycling
amount available
to the city
Page 19 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 4
Multifamily households in cities with organized recycling collection are defined as 1) households
in buildings where each household does not have its own recycling collection container to set
out for curbside collection, or 2) households in buildings that do not receive recycling collection
service through the city, including apartment buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and
cooperative housing units where a property manager or association coordinates collection
service. Multifamily households in cities with open recycling collection are defined as
households in residential buildings larger than a fourplex.
III.Application for Funding
A. General program and curbside organics application
To receive funding for waste reduction and recycling programs and curbside organics recycling,
each city must complete an annual grant application by February 15 of that year. The application
consists of a web-based report that requests the following: contract, program, tonnage, and
financial information. The participation rate for the curbside recycling program must also be
included in the web-based report. The city must calculate its participation rate during the month
of October. The methodology for measuring participation must be provided to the county upon
request. The county may request additional information, such as a planning document with a
description of activities the city will implement to increase recycling and make progress toward
county objectives.
B. Organics drop-off sites and multifamily supplementary application
To receive funding for organics drop-off sites and multifamily waste reduction and recycling,
each city must submit a supplementary grant application form annually. The county will provide
this form by February 15 and the city must complete it by March 15 of that year.
IV.Use of Funds
A.Conditions applying to all funds
The following requirements apply to the use of all funds:
1.Funds must be expended on eligible activities per Minnesota Statutes §115A.557.
2.All grant funds accepted from the county must be used in the year granted unless the
county agrees to an exception. The county will not provide any funds in excess of actual
expenses. Funds not spent must be returned to the county.
Page 20 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 5
3.A city or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through property tax,
utility fees, waste fees, environmental fees, or any other method for the portion of its
waste reduction and recycling program costs that are funded by county grant funds.
4.Cities must track expenditures for waste reduction and recycling programs, curbside
organics recycling, organics drop-off sites, and multifamily waste reduction and recycling
and establish accounting mechanisms to provide the information requested in the
financial section of the annual grant application.
5.Waste reduction and recycling activities, revenues, and expenditures are subject to audit.
B. Curbside organics use of funds
Curbside organics grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
•Incentives for participation (service discounts, countertop pails, compostable bags)
•City contract costs
•Education and outreach
•Carts
•Other expenses approved by the county
Yard waste expenses are not eligible. If organics are co-collected with other waste, the organics
expenses must be tracked separately. If a city passes funds through to a hauler, 100% of those
funds must be credited to residents’ bills.
C.Organics drop-off sites use of funds
Organics drop-off site grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
•Hauling and disposal
•Dumpsters or carts
•Site construction
•Education and outreach
•Incentives for participation (countertop pails, compostable bags)
•Other expenses approved by the county
D.Multifamily waste reduction and recycling use of funds
Cities that choose to apply for multifamily waste reduction and recycling funding will work with
the county to identify eligible activities that are customized to the city’s goals and needs. These
activities will be determined through the supplementary grant application process.
Page 21 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 6
Unused funds will be used by the county to provide multifamily waste reduction and recycling
program services. Multifamily resources provided by the county, including reusable tote
bags/baskets and multifamily specific signs and labels, are not eligible expenses.
V.City Requirements
A.Materials accepted
A city’s curbside collection program must accept a list of mixed recyclables as selected by the
county in consultation with haulers, local material recovery facilities, and end markets. The
county will update the list of materials as needed, distribute the list to city recycling
coordinators, and post the list on the county’s website.
B.Education and outreach
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in educating
residents and motivating behavior change. To continue this partnership and increase these
efforts, city waste reduction, recycling and organics recycling activities must be coordinated with
county and regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements:
1.Use county terminology on promotional and educational materials when describing
recycling and organics recycling guidelines, including the description of materials
accepted and not accepted, as well as when describing preparation guidelines.
2.Use images approved by the county if using images of mixed recyclables and organic
materials.
3.Provide the following information on the city’s website;
Recycling and organics recycling materials accepted and not accepted
Curbside collection calendar
Organics drop-off site(s) information
Links to county resources and programs
4.Provide a guide on recycling and organics recycling to residents each year. The guide
shall contain information on curbside collection, materials accepted and not accepted,
organics drop off site information (if applicable), and a curbside collection calendar.
5.Complete two or more waste reduction, recycling and organics recycling educational
activities annually that include the promotion of curbside collection. The county will
provide a list of activities to city recycling coordinators. These activities are in addition to
the provision of an annual guide.
Page 22 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4i)
Title: Hennepin County Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Grant Agreement
Communicated October 5, 2021 7
6.If a city develops its own educational materials, does not use a template produced by the
county, does not utilize design services offered by the county, or relies on a hauler to
provide an annual guide, then the city must submit the materials to the county for
approval.
C. Waste reduction and recycling performance
On an annual basis, cities must demonstrate that a reasonable effort has been made to improve
waste reduction and recycling programs. If a city does not demonstrate measurable progress, a
waste reduction and recycling improvement plan must be submitted by the city within 90 days
of being notified by the county. The waste reduction and recycling improvement plan must be
negotiated with the county and specify the efforts that will be undertaken by the municipality to
improve its program to yield the results necessary to achieve county objectives. In cooperation
with the county, the city may be required to participate in waste sorts and community
engagement to identify strategies to improve waste reduction and recycling outcomes.
VI.Grant Payments
The county will make two equal payments to the city. Those two payments will provide the sum
of each city’s total grant amount for general waste reduction and recycling programs, curbside
organics recycling programs, organics drop-off sites, and multifamily waste reduction and
recycling. One payment will be made after the county receives the applications for funding. A
second payment will be made after basic program requirements, education and outreach
requirements, and performance have been confirmed and approved. If the city meets the county
requirements, both payments will be made during the same calendar year.
Cities are expected to fulfill the conditions of this policy and the requirements of Ordinance 13.
It is the responsibility of each city to meet the requirements of Ordinance 13. The
implementation of the county requirements for cities shall be the responsibility of each
respective city. If any city fails to establish or implement any or all of the city requirements in
Ordinance 13, all SCORE funding will be withheld until the city meets the requirements or a
waste reduction and recycling improvement plan is negotiated with the county.

Title: Preliminary and final plat – Central Park West P.U.D. No. 121 Third Addition
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution approving the preliminary and final plat of
Central Park West P.U.D. No. 121 Third Addition.
Policy consideration: Does the application meet city requirements for a preliminary and final
plat?
Summary: Sambatek, on behalf of OP4 SLP , applied for a preliminary and final plat for the
property located at 1651 and 1653 Utica Avenue. The applicant will also apply for a planned

plat will create a new ou tlot containing a Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)
lift station previously provided for through an easement.
Planning commission held a public hearing on the application on Jan. 19, 2022. No one spoke at
the public hearing, and the commission recommended approval of the preliminary and final
plat 6-0.

Title: Preliminary and final plat – Central Park West P.U.D. No. 121 Third Addition
Discussion
Background: On December 15, 2014, city council approved a preliminary plat and preliminary
planned unit development for a multi-phase project called Central Park West. The site is part of
the larger West End Redevelopment area, and the plans include two six -story multiple -family
residential buildings, a six -story limited-service hotel, two 11-story office buildings, a 2,534-stall
parking ramp, and a privately maintained gathering space. Please see the site plan below.
At the time of this staff report, only one 11-story office building (20 West End) and additional
parking structure remain to be built.
Shared services agreements: The cities of St. Louis Park and Golden Valley have shared services
agreements to address certain issues that arise from having buildings and other improvements
that cross the municipal boundary of the two cities. This will be updated when 20 West End is
built, but no changes are needed at this time.
Present considerations: The applicant, on behalf of the property owner, seeks approval for a
preliminary and final plat to create a new outlot containing the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES) lift station, separating it from the rest of the existing outlot, and
for MCES to obtain fee title to the land that the lift station occupies. The overall boundary of
the plat will remain the same. The lift station is entirely within Golden Valley. The city councils
of both St. Louis Park and Golden Valley must approve the final plat for it to be recorded with
Hennepin County.

Title: Preliminary and final plat – Central Park West P.U.D. No. 121 Third Addition
Right-of-way dedication: No right -of-way will be dedicated by the plat.
Easements: Drainage and utility easements are proposed along all rights-of-way. When
applications for redevelopment are submitted to the city, additional easements may be
required depending upon the details of the project. The previously approved plat received a
subdivision variance that allows interior lot lines to not contain drainage and utility easements.
Park and trail dedication fees: No construction is proposed as part of this plat request, and no
park and trail dedication fees are due at this time. When the property is platted again to create
a lot and block description the fees will be determined based on the details of the development
at that time .
Staff find the preliminary and final plat meets city requirements.
Public outreach: All properties within 500 feet of the proposed development were notified by
mail of the public hearing. A legal notice was published in the official newspaper regarding the
public hearing. A “proposed development” sign was also posted on the site. Project and
meeting information was shared through the city website. No comments were received.
Planning commission held a public hearing on the application on January 19, 2022. No one
spoke at the public hearing.
Recommendation: The planning commission recommended approval of the preliminary and

Staff recommend approval of the Central Park West P.U.D. No. 121 Third Addition Preliminary
and Final Plat subject to the conditions listed in the resolution of approval.
Next steps: The applicant will seek similar approvals from the City of Golden Valley. Any future
development of the property will require additional land use applications, including a
preliminary and final plat and a final PUD.

Executive summary
Title: Letter of interest regarding MnDOT excess land – Toledo Avenue and 28th Street
Recommended action: Motion to direct staff to submit a letter of interest to acquire land that
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has deemed to be excess right-of-way.
Policy consideration: Does council want to submit a letter of interest to MNDOT to acquire the
land (two “conv eyance p arcels”) near Toledo Avenue and 28th Street?
Summary: On Nov. 22, 2021, city council reciev e d a written report providing background. A link
to the previous report is provided in the supporting documents.
In January 2022, city staff met with M NDOT Metro District staff. We received updated
information on MnDOT’s position, process and timeline. Of interest to this requeste d consent
agenda action, is that MnDOT indicated the city could submit a letter of interest to acquire the
property without de fining the proposed use of the land.
MnDOT has not formally offere d the land to the city at this time. They have only notified the city
that they intend to release the land and aske d if the city is interested in acquiring property.
Staff recommends submitting a letter of interest. This preserve s the full range of the city’s
options in MnDOT’s process. It also does not obligate the city to any f uture actions.
Next Steps: Staff will prepare and send a letter of interest to MnDOT. MnDOT indicated they
would likely prepare appraisals for the conveyance parcels. Within a few months, MnDOT
would send the city an official offer letter. The city would have six months from the date of the
offer letter to formally respond.
Financial or budget considerations: In this latest meeting, MnDOT indicat ed if the south
conv eyance parcel is obtain ed for a public purpose, MnDOT would convey the land to the city
for no cost. If the city obtains the south parcel for a private purpose or acquires the north
parcel f or either public or private purpose, MnDOT indicated the city could purchase the land
for fair market valu e. This was a change in th eir position that was not explained.
There may be other costs to conduct any additional due diligence the city deemed necessary,
potentially public process to determine the appropriate use of the land, and costs to develop
the land for a specific use .
Strategic priori ty consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Title: Letter of interest regarding MnDOT excess land – Toledo Avenue and 28th Street
Discussion
Background: MnDOT Metro District determined right of way along Highway 100 that is west of
Toledo Avenue and south of 28th Street no longer serves a transportation purpose, so it is
essentially excess right of way. This is the first step in MnDOT’s decision -making process for
land release. MnDOT has not formally offered the land to the city at this time. They have only
notified the city that they intend to release the land and have asked us if we are interested in
obtaining the property.
Land characteristics
Area: MnDOT right of way – 73,612 square feet (1.7 acres)
City right of way – 28,888 square feet (0.66 acres)
Zoning: R2 – single -family residence
Comprehensive plan future land use guidance: right of way
Other: Located inside the boundaries of the St. Louis Park Minneapolis Eruv.
Community interest: Since the completion of the TH100 project, there has been community
intere st regarding this right of way and the rock garden. Recently, staff has received emails
from 40+ residents asking the city to take over ownership of this land and restore the rock
garden.
Present considerations: At a January 2022 meeting with city staff, MnDOT provided updates on
their position, process and timeline related to the two conveyance parcels in this area. A brief
summary of the updates is provided below.
Environmental review: MnDOT’s o ffice of e nvironmental stewardship completed their
environmental review. MnDOT’s environmental findings were prepared for their internal
decision making and are not to be relied upon by any prospective owners as environmental due
diligence. Based on the information available their assessmen t of the risk of environmental
impacts on the conveyance parcels is low. The ir office of e nvironmental stewardship
recommends that MnDOT proceed with conveyance of the parcels. The memorandums are
attached for information.
Cost: MnDOT indicated they viewe d the north conveyance parcel differently than the south
conveyance parcel. The south parcel could be transferred to the city at no cost if the city and
MnDOT agreed upon a public use of the property by the city. The north parcel, however, they
now indicate the city could purchase at fair market value whether the use was for a public use
or private use. However, even if the city purchased it for a private use, the land may carry
restrictions, because the property was not offered to all parties for bid. Staff will continue to
discuss this with MnDOT, as we are unclear about why this has changed and what limitations
the land would carry if it were not public use.
Appraisal: MnDOT indicated their next step for the conveyance parcels is to obtain or conduct
and appraisal of the fair market value which will likely take several months . This step was not
identified in earlier conversations . Staff is unclear if this step was added because of the north
parcel, or it is a standard part of their process that wasn’t previously mentioned.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4k) Page 3
Title: Letter of interest regarding MnDOT excess land – Toledo Avenue and 28th Street
Timeline: MnDOT would like to receive a letter of interest soon, so they can begin the appraisal
process. The exact timeline was unclear, but it may take several months. Following the
appraisal, and when the MnDOT extends a formal offer to the city, we have six months to
respond.
His torical review : MnDOT indicated that the property is not designated historical and there is
no remaining federal or state obligation due to the rock garden. The work completed in 2009 at
Lilac Park satisfied the historic preservation obligations.
Next steps:
•Staff will prepare and send a letter of interest when directed without defining the
purpose of the acquisition.
•Staff will contact MnDOT for additional clarifications.
•Staff will review city council study session calendar to schedule a discussion on this item.
The scope of the discussion may include:
o city council direction on acquiring the parcel(s).
o purpose of the city acquisition (potential public purposes).
o city due diligence (phase I and phase II environmental review) and timing.
o council expectations/staff recommendations regarding public process to
determine the appropriate land uses.

Introduction
It is important to know if a property is contaminated prior to selling or leasing a property, so that the
condition of the property at the time of sale or lease is documented, and this information can be disclosed
to a purchaser/lessee. In November 2021, MnDOT’s consultant reviewed the following information to
determine if there are any contamination concerns for the Conveyance Parcel:
-Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) database regarding known contaminated sites.
-Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) database regarding known contaminated sites.
-Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Minnesota Well Index (MWI) database regarding known
water wells.
-MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File Information
-MnDOT Environmental Files
-Aerial Photographs
- Topographic maps
-MnDOT Right of Way maps
Location
The Conveyance Parcel consists of one undeveloped parcel measuring approximately 35,281 square feet
and located in the southwest quadrant of West 28th Street and Toledo Avenue South, east of Trunk Highway
(TH) 100, in St. Louis Park, Hennepin County. The Conveyance Parcel is bounded to the north by West
28th Street, to the east by Toledo Avenue South, to the south by a MnDOT parcel that contains a rock
structure and to the west by TH 100 with predominately residential development located beyond. The
surrounding area is a mixture of residential and commercial development.
MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File
A review of the MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File was completed. Parcel 28 (approximately 12.9 acres) was
acquired in 1933 for the construction of TH 100. At the time of acquisition, Parcel 28 was developed with
buildings that were allowed to be occupied by the grantors for a period of two years. Based on the
information, it appears that the buildings consisted of a dwelling, barn, and pump house that were located
south of 29th Street West; therefore, not located on the Conveyance Parcel. Currently, there are no
structures on the Conveyance Parcel (the northern portion of Parcel 28).
No evidence of wells associated with the Conveyance Parcel were included in the file. No information
included in the MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File indicates soil or groundwater impacts to the Conveyance

Historical Maps and Photographs
A review of topographic maps covering the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was completed for
the years 1896, 1905, 1912, 1928, 1949, 1954, 1969, 1973, 1984, 1993, 2013, 2016 and 2019. No structures
are depicted at the Conveyance Parcel through 1949. By 1954 and through 2016, an entrance ramp to
northbound TH 100 bisects the Conveyance Parcel. No structures are depicted on the Conveyance Parcel
in 2019. The existing adjoining street grid is depicted on the maps by 1954.
A review of aerial photographs of the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was completed for the years
1947, 1957, 1966, 1972, 1979, 1991, 2000, 2009, 2015, 2018 and 2020. An entrance ramp to northbound
TH 100 bisects the Conveyance Parcel from 1947 through 2015 with the remainder of the Conveyance
Parcel being undeveloped and covered with vegetation. By 2018, the Conveyance Parcel is undeveloped
and completely covered with vegetation. The existing adjoining street grid is apparent on all of the
photographs and adjoining properties to the north and east are developed for residential use.
A review of MnDOT right of way (ROW) maps for the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was
completed. The ROW maps are generally undated. An “old gravel pit” is depicted on the east end of the
Conveyance Parcel on one map that appears to have been originally prepared in 1932.
MnDOT Environmental Files
A search of MnDOT Office of Environmental Stewardship files was completed. The following
environmental documents were reviewed:

2002 Phase I ESA
The 2002 Phase I ESA was prepared for MnDOT in preparation for the reconstruction of TH 100. The
assessment was prepared using MnDOT’s modified version of the Phase I ESA standard practice for
environmental site assessments. Based on the results, the Conveyance Parcel was not listed as a site with
potential to impact subsurface conditions. No ranked sites were identified within 500 feet of the
Conveyance Parcel.
2012 Phase I ESA
The 2012 Phase I ESA was prepared for MnDOT in preparation for the reconstruction of TH 100. The
assessment was prepared using MnDOT’s modified version of the Phase I ESA standard practice for
environmental site assessments. Based on the results, the Conveyance Parcel was not listed as a Site of
Environmental Concern and was bound by residential Low Ranking sites to the north and east.
2013 Phase II
The 2013 Phase II was prepared in preparation for the TH 100 reconstruction project. A total of 28 soil
borings were advanced within the proposed TH 100 construction limits near sites identified as High or
Page 6 City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 4k)
Title: Letter of interest regarding MnDOT excess land – Toledo Avenue and 28th Street
Medium risk for contamination in the Phase 2013 Phase II ESA. No borings were advanced on the
Conveyance Parcel during the investigation; however, two soil borings (PB-5 and PB-6) and one test trench
(TT-3) were advanced just south of the Conveyance Parcel on Parcel 28 in the locations of proposed storm
water ponds.
Groundwater was not encountered in PB-5 or PB-6, which were completed to depths of 12 feet and 32 feet,
respectively. No soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis from borings PB-5 or PB-6. Soil
samples were collected from test trench TT-3 (0.5-1.5’ and 4-5’) for laboratory analysis. Diesel range
organics (DRO) detected at 9.2 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) in soil sample TT-3 (0.5-1.5’).
2017 Construction Monitoring
No construction monitoring activities were conducted on the Conveyance Parcel.
MPCA and MDA Regulatory Database Review
A review of the MPCA and MDA databases of known contaminated sites was completed. No MPCA or
MDA sites were mapped on or within 500 feet of the Conveyance Parcel.
MDH MWI Database Review
A review of the MWI did not identify any wells registered to, or plotted at, the Conveyance Parcel.
Findings
These findings are prepared for internal MnDOT decision making and are not to be relied upon by any
prospective purchasers as environmental due diligence.
Based on this information it appears that the risk of environmental impacts on the Conveyance Parcel is
low. The Office of Environmental Stewardship recommends that MnDOT proceed with conveyance of the
Conveyance Parcel.
Please let me know if you have questions or would like additional information.

East of TH 100 between 28th Street West and 29th Street West
St. Louis Park, Hennepin County (the Conveyance Parcel)
Introduction
It is important to know if a property is contaminated prior to selling or leasing a property, so that the
condition of the property at the time of sale or lease is documented, and this information can be disclosed
to a purchaser/lessee. In November 2021, MnDOT’s consultant reviewed the following information to
determine if there are any contamination concerns for the Conveyance Parcel:
-Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) database regarding known contaminated sites.
-Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) database regarding known contaminated sites.
-Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Minnesota Well Index (MWI) database regarding known
water wells.
-MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File Information
-MnDOT Environmental Files
-Aerial Photographs
- Topographic maps
-MnDOT Right of Way maps
Location
The Conveyance Parcel consists of one parcel containing a rock structure but is otherwise undeveloped.
The Conveyance Parcel measures approximately 38,331 square feet and is located in the southwest quadrant
of West 28th Street and Toledo Avenue South, east of Trunk Highway (TH) 100, in St. Louis Park,
Hennepin County. The Conveyance Parcel is bounded to the north by a vacant MnDOT Parcel, to the east
by Toledo Avenue South, to the south by greenspace and TH 100 right of way, and to the west by TH 100
with predominately residential development located beyond. The surrounding area is a mixture of
residential and commercial development.
MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File
A review of the MnDOT Conveyance Parcel File was completed. Parcel 28 (approximately 12.9 acres) was
acquired in 1933 for the construction of TH 100. At the time of acquisition, Parcel 28 was developed with
buildings that were allowed to be occupied by the grantors for a period of two years. Based on the
information, it appears that the buildings consisted of a dwelling, barn, and pump house that were located
south of 29th Street West; therefore, not located on the Conveyance Parcel. Currently, a former Civilian
Conservation Corp rock structure is located on the Conveyance Parcel.
No evidence of wells associated with the Conveyance Parcel were included in the file. No information

Parcel.
Historical Maps and Photographs
A review of topographic maps covering the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was completed for
the years 1896, 1905, 1912, 1928, 1949, 1954, 1969, 1973, 1984, 1993, 2013, 2016 and 2019. No structures
are depicted at the Conveyance Parcel through 1949. By 1954 and through 2016, an entrance ramp to
northbound TH 100 bisects the Conveyance Parcel. No structures are depicted on the Conveyance Parcel
in 2019. The existing adjoining street grid is depicted on the maps by 1954.
A review of aerial photographs of the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was completed for the years
1947, 1957, 1966, 1972, 1979, 1991, 2000, 2009, 2015, 2018 and 2020. An entrance ramp to northbound
TH 100 bisects the Conveyance parcel from 1947 through 2015. The existing former Civilian Conservation
Corp rock structure appears to be present on all of the photographs. The remainder of the Conveyance
Parcel is undeveloped and covered with vegetation. The existing adjoining street grid is apparent on all of
the photographs and adjoining properties to the east are developed for residential use.
A review of MnDOT right of way (ROW) maps for the Conveyance Parcel and surrounding area was
completed. The ROW maps are generally undated. An “old gravel pit” is depicted on the east end of the
Conveyance Parcel on one map that appears to have been originally prepared in 1932 and the existing
former Civilian Conservation Corp rock structure is depicted on another map that appears to have been
originally prepared in 2017.

3. Hearings
3a. Zoning ordinance amendment pertaining to daycares
Applicant: City of St. Louis Park
Case No: 21-41-ZA
Mr. Morrison presented the report.
Commissioner Weber asked if the focus of this is based on conforming to state law or to
look at other cities ’ changes, and/or if the city saw more daycares moving in. Mr.
Morrison stated it is a combination of all three of these ; adding daycare s is becoming
more of a valuable asset to the city. He added that this change will look to ease
conditions for daycares to make more properties eligible to host commercial group
daycares without affecting safety.
Commissioner Salzer asked about the city requirement of playgrounds sized 40 square
feet per child and if the state requirements require more space at 75 feet per child. Mr.
Morrison stated the city requires 40 feet per child based on the capacity of the daycare
building and results in a greater play area requirement than the state. The state requires
at least 1,500 square feet of play area no matter how many children the daycare hosts
and limits the capacity of the play area to one child per 75 square feet to prevent
overcrowding in the play area.
Commissioner Salzer asked if improved trails is a defined term . Mr. Morrison stated the
trail is improved with asphalt.
Vice Chair Beneke asked about removing daycares from the industrial areas. Mr.
Morrison stated staff finds that industrial properties and areas are generally unsuitable
for daycare uses. These areas are allowed to have outdoor storage of materials, include s
truck traffic, and potentially odors or impacts that could cause nuisances. The intent is
to further limit daycare centers from industrial areas.

Vice Chair Beneke closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Kraft stated this was a good compromise on the outdoor space and she
was happy to see there is some space provided on-site at the daycares, while also
allowing for play time at nearby parks as well. She thanked staff for those measures.
Commissioner Weber made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Salze r, to approve the
zoning ordinance amendment pertaining to daycares as presented.
The motion passed 6-0.
3b . Zoning ordinance amendment – solar energy systems
Applicant: City of St. Louis Park
Case No: 21-40-ZA
Mr. Morrison presented the report.
Commissioner Wilson asked if this solar proposal brings the city more in line with the
state ordinances. Mr. Morrison stated it does ; staff reviewed the regulations of
neighboring cities including Minneapolis .
Commissioner Weber asked if staff is aware of projects coming on that would lead to
solar energy systems because of the changes. Mr. Morrison stated there are systems
already underway because they have not been prevented in the code and the city’s
policies encourage them. He stated he does not have a sense anyone is waiting for the
ordinance amendment to be able to proceed and noted most permits are for rooftop
systems.
Mr. Walther stated the city is aware of two industrial properties that are pursuing free-
standing systems. One of them would not be allowed currently as a principal use of the
land but would be with the ordinance amendment.
Vice Chair Beneke opened the public hearing.
There were no callers or speakers.

Executive summary
Title: Public hearing on Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowners’ Association Housing
Improvement Area (HIA)
Recommended action: Mayor to open public hearing, take testimony, and then close the public
hearing. Motion to approve first reading of an ordinance establishing the Bridgewalk
Condominium Homeowners’ Association Housing Improvement Area pursuant to Minnesota
statutes, sections 428A.11 to 428A. 21 and to set second reading date for Feb . 22, 2022.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support the creation of a Housing Improvement
Area for the Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowners’ Association?
Summary: The city is authorized by state statute to establish HIAs as a finance tool for private
housing improvements. An HIA is a defined area within a city where housing improvements are
made and the cost of the improvements are paid in whole or in part from fees imposed on the
properties within the area. The city adopted an HIA policy in 2001 and has previously
established eight HIAs. The Bridgewalk HIA proposal meets the intent of the city policy.
The Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowner’s Association (Association) submitted an application
Oct. 5, 2021 for $5.77 million dollars to create a Housing Improvement Area. With city fees and
soft costs the total request is $5.97 million.
The association submitted signed petitions Jan. 5, 2022 from a majority of owners requesting
the city council schedule a public hearing to establish the HIA and impose fees. Per state statue,
cities may only establish an HIA when 50% or more of the association owners petition the city to
do so. The city has imposed a 70% threshold for this HIA due to the size of the funding request
and fees. Petitions were received and certified from over 70% of the owners at Bridgewalk.
Financial or budget considerations: If approved the HIA would be funded with a combination of
bonds and an EDA internal loan. The maximum HIA amount would be $5.97 million.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 6a) Page 2
Title: Public hearing on Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowners’ Association Housing Improvement Area (HIA)
Discussion
Background: The city is authorized by state statute to establish HIAs as a finance tool for private
housing improvements. An HIA is a defined area within a city where housing improvements are
made and the cost of the improvements are paid in whole or in part from fees imposed on the
properties within the area. HIAs are typically utilize d by multifamily ownership housing
associations, such as townhome and condominium associations. The city adopted an HIA policy
in 2001 and has previously established eight HIAs. The Bridgewalk HIA proposal meets the
intent of the city policy.
The association hired a consultant, Doug Strandness of Dunbar Strandness, Inc., to work with
them on establishing the HIA. Mr. Strandness initially contacted the city in 2019 regarding the
city’s HIA policy. City staff did a walkthrough of the property in March 2020 with Mr. Strandness
and a board member to see the necessary improvements. The association submitted an
application May 27, 2020 with a $6.9 million dollar request, not including the city’s fees and
soft costs. Based on the unknown impact of the COVID-19 pan demic on the city’s budget the
city was not in a position to consider the HIA at that time. In addition, the HIA was complex
with fees significantly higher than any other HIA in the past, and the timeline being requested
was not feasible. Staff informed Mr. Strandness that the city was not able to move forward with
the HIA request at that time but stated the request could be revisited in the future. The
association used the time to evaluate the scope of work and budget.
Present considerations: The association submitted an application October 5, 2021 for $5.77
million dollars to create a Housing Improvement Area. With city fees and soft costs the total
request is $5.97 million. Bridgewalk is a 92-unit condominium building with one, two and three
bedroom units. Bridgewalk was built in 1972 and is in need of improvements to the exterior,
interior, mechanical and electrical system, pool, and garage. The association hired Encompass
to evaluate the repairs needed at Bridgewalk along with a budget estimate. The application also
included a reserve plan, financial plan and reserve study conducted by Reserve Advisors. The
reserve and financial plan demonstrate how the association will ensure that they adequately
plan for future improvements and ongoing maintenance.
The association does not have the reserve funds to make the necessary improvements and has
been turned down by two financial institutions for financing. The HIA is a last resort financing
tool when associations have no other viable option for raising money for improvements. State
law requires at least 50% of the owners sign petitions requesting the city council hold public
hearings to establish the HIA and impose the fee. The city has imposed a 70% threshold for this
HIA due to the size of the funding reque st and fees.
The association undertook extensive outreach to educate and inform homeowners about the
HIA project. The city has been working with the association’s consultant since 2019 and hosted
two informational meetings in December 2021 to meet with residents and review the HIA
process, petition, and fees. 82% of owners (75 of 92 owners) submitted petitions to the city. As
of February 1, 2022, the city clerk has certified petitions from 78% of the owners, or 72 of the
75 petitions submitted. The deadline to submit petitions was January 5. Petitions submitted
after January 5 or petitions without all owners signing the petition are not able to be certified
but do show additional support for the HIA.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 6a) Page 3
Title: Public hearing on Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowners’ Association Housing Improvement Area (HIA)
Eleven homeowners are interested in seeking a hardship deferral of the HIA fees. Homeowners
apply for a hardship deferral and if they meet the requirements, the principal and interest
payments are deferred. The deferred payment (principal and interest) becomes due and
payable upon sale or transfer of ownership. Qualifications for hardship deferral include:
• Applicant must be 65 years of age or older OR retired because of permanent and total
disability, and
• Prope rty must be homesteaded; and
• Income must be at or below 50% of Area Median Income
Proposed Scope of Work: There is extensive work needed at Bridgewalk identified in the reserve
study and the comprehensive assessment completed by Encompass. In addition to being 50
years old the building has not been well maintained. Major building components have not been
replaced when they should have been. Some of the components of the HIA project will
significantly reduce utility consumption for both the association and the individual homeowners.
The following work would be scheduled to begin in 2022:
Exterior buil ding elements, including flat roofs over portion of pool area, north and south
buildings; main entry improvements; balconies; exterior siding.
Interior building elements, including lobby vestibule; elevator improvements; common
area carpeting and paint; unit hallway doors; locker rooms renovation; party/community
room renovation.
Building service elements, including electrical panel in boiler room; security systems
upgrade; common area air handling units; hot water boilers and storage tank; boiler room
upgrades; life safety system.
Pool elements, including west wall replacement; pool refurbishment (pool & hot tub
interiors plus deck); pool equipment; pool HVAC.
Garage elements, including lighting, waterproofing; wall paint; ceiling cleaning; exhaust and
heating systems.
Property site elements, including asphalt (mill & overlay); concrete bridge at southwest
corner of building; concrete ramps and aprons; privacy fences between unit patios;
courtyard/patio improvements.
Unit elements, including unit windows and patio doors (low-E glass)
Funding: The HIA will be funded using a combination of an internal EDA loan and general
obligation special assessment debt for HIAs. The EDA loan will cover the amount of anticipated
hardship deferrals and the balance will be bonds. The association plans to use a construction
loan and has requested the city issue a construction loan commitment letter. The city has
agreed to Bridgewalk’s use of a construction loan and there are no drawbacks to the city. The
primary benefit to the city is that the construction loan will handle all draw requests.
The city is protected from financial risk in several ways:
• Repayment of the loan is made through owner’s real estate tax payments.
• In foreclosure events, tax liabilities including special assessments, must be paid by any
party that purchases the unit. In cases of foreclosure, HIA fees have been treated the
same as special assessments.

• There is a 105% debt coverage as shown on the fee table attached to the resolution.
• A development agreement is required which will provide additional contractual conditions
to ensure financial stability of the association.
Association information: Bridgewalk is located at 450 Ford Rd.
• The association is comprised of 92 condominium units built in 1972
• There are 35 units with one bedroom, 50 units with two bedrooms, and seven units with
three bedrooms
• The 2021 median estimated market value (EMV) is $131,900 and the range of EMV is
$95,600 to 183,900
• 73 of the 92 units (79%) are homesteaded
Affordable homeownership
All units at Bridgewalk, even with the HIA fees, will be affordable to households at 80% Area
Median Income (AMI) based on the affordable homeownership limit of $316,000 set by the
Metropolitan Council. The majority of the units will be below the 60% AMI ($256,300) or 50%
AMI ($201,500) affordable homeownership limit. All homes are well below the maximum home
purchase price for existing homes under the state’s first-time home buyer program which is
currently $352,300.
The creation of the Bridgewalk HIA will preserve affordable homeownership in St. Louis Park.
Total Loan Amount
The total loan amount is $5,970,000: $5,770,000 primary purpose fund for construction and soft
costs, $145,400 for costs associated with bond issuance, and $54,600 for city administrative,
legal, financial costs , and rounding.

The term of the loan and imposed fees would be 20 years. The loan will be repaid by a fee
attached to each property unit. The county will receive the payments through the property tax
system and pass back to the city. This is a low risk way for the city to assist with bringing the
property up to date to ensure many years of continued use for current and future owners.

Title: Public hearing on Bridgewalk Condominium Homeowners’ Association Housing Improvement Area (HIA)
Preliminary estimates of the fees to be imposed on housing units in the Bridgewalk
Condominium Homeowner’s Association are based on an interest rate of approximately 4.83%.
This interest rate is subject to change based on market conditions.
Amount to be charged against each housing unit: Estimates of the Housing Improvement Fee to
be imposed on housing units in the Bridgewalk HIA range from $41,253 to $112,833, as shown in
the attached table . Fees per unit are based on square footage (percentage of undivided
ownership) as prescribed in Exhibit A to the Bridgewalk Condominium Declaration. Unless
prepaid by August 1, 2022, interest on the per-unit fees will be charged at a rate of 4.83% per
annum. Final Housing Improvement Fees may not be more than the amounts described in this
paragraph.
Payments in full are allowed in future years by November 15 of each year. No partial payments are
allowed. At the time of sale , the HIA fee can remain with the unit or be paid off.
Filing an objection and veto period: Before the ordinance is adopted or at the hearing in which
it is to be adopted, the owner of a housing unit in the proposed HIA may file a written objection
with the city clerk asserting that the owners’ property should not be included in the HIA or
should not be subjected to a housing improvement fee and objecting to the inclusion of the
housing unit in the HIA, for the reason that the property would not benefit from the proposed
improvements
If residents of 45 percent or more of the housing units in the HIA file an objection to the
ordinance with the city clerk before the effective date of the ordinance, the ordinance will not
become effective.
Within five days after the adoption of this ordinance, the City Clerk is authorized and directed to
mail to the owner of each housing unit in the Bridgewalk HIA: a summary of this ordinance; notice
that owners subject to the proposed Housing Improvement Fee have a right to veto this ordinance

objection with the City Clerk before the effective date of this ordinance ; and notice that a copy of
this ordinance is on file with the City Clerk for public inspection.

Executive summary
Title: 2022 Pavement Management Project – Fern Hill (4021-1000)
Re commended action: Mayor to open public hearing, take public testimony, and close public
hearing. Council will be asked to act on this project at its Feb. 22 meeting.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to pursue the pavement rehabilitation,
sidewalk installation, bikeway installation and impervious reductions recommended as a part of
this project?
Summary: The annual Pavement Management Project rehabilitates several miles of local
residential streets. In 2022, the streets to be rehabilitated are in Pavement Management Area 8
(Fern Hill Neighborhood). Street rehabilitation work consists of replacing the existing
bituminous pavement, replacing the concrete curb and gutter as needed. Other work includes
sidewalk repairs, sewer repairs and watermain replacement.
There are Connect the Park sidewalk and bikeway segments in this project. Consistent with the
Living Streets policy, staff identified gaps in the existing sidewalk network. This resulted in
consideration of sidewalk gap segments as a part of this project. These sidewalk segments are
identified as "gap sidewalks " in this report.
In addition to the Connect the Park and gap sidewalks, several neighborhood residents asked
the city to explore the construction of additional sidewalks to provide more north-south
pedestrian connections. These sidewalk segments are identified as "resident feedback
sidewalks " in this report.
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city's 2022 capital
improvement plan (CIP) and will be paid for using franchise fees, utility funds, and general fund
balance. The total cost estimate for the project is $7,336,940.51. Additional information on the
breakdown of the funding can be found later in this report.
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: 2022 Pavement Management Project – Fern Hill (4021-1000)
Discussion
Background: This year's project will be performed in Area 8 of the city 's eight pavement
management areas. It includes work in the Fern Hill neighborhood.
Information regarding this project was shared with the city council in a written report at the
Jan. 24 study session. The study session report, which includes recommendations for the
elements to include in this project, is attached. A summary of the information in the report:
•Description of the project scope
•Sidewalk and bikeway feasibility review
•Proposed street widths
•Traffic management pilot
•Resident f eedback
Below are staff responses to council questions from the study session report:
1)Are there permanent neighborhood traffic circles (NTCs) installed elsewhere in the city?
a)There were 2 NTCS installed as part of the 2018 Pavement Management project
at Brunswick Avenue/Oxford Street and Brunswick Ave nue /Goodrich Ave nue.
2)Are the previously installed NTCs working well? If yes, what are the differences with
them that have made them work well?
a)Yes, the NTCs on Brunswick Avenue have been working well since installation.
b)The concerns on Brunswick Avenue were heavy truck traffic that was using
Brunswick Avenue, a local street, as a route to get to and from the business and
industrial area to the west of the railroad tracks (on Cambridge/ Edgewood/
Oxford). The trucks should have been using Alabama Avenue and Cambridge
Street, municipal state aid streets, which are designated as the truck route .
c)There are sidewalks on all the adjacent streets, so pedestrians have a designated
location to walk that is not in the street.
d)During the pilot project, the data showed that the truck traffic decreased. In
addition, there were reductions in speed between 5 and 12%, therefore the
NTCs were recommended and approved for construction.
3)Were the temporary NTCs the same size as they would be if installed permanently?
Yes , during the pilot project for the 2018 Pavement Manage ment project, staff did
adjust the size of the center islands of the NTCs after initial installation and found an
optimal size that balanced the need to slow down traffic while still having enough
room for delivery trucks, buses, and snowplows. This optimal island size is what we
used for the pilot on this year's project.
If they would have been installed permanently, there would have been some
modifications to the curb on each corner of the intersection to make it easier for
snow removal and sweeping.
4)We re the NTCs on intersections where there were sidewalks on both sides of the
intersecting road s?
a)Due to gaps in the existing sidewalk network, each of the NTCs had a different
number of adjacent sidewalks.
i)Two (2) of the NTCs had zero sidewalks
ii)Three (3) of the NTCs had sidewalk on only one (1) adjacent street
Page 2
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 6b )
Title: 2022 Pavement Management Project – Fern Hill (4021-1000)
iii)Four (4) of the NTCs had sidewalk on two (2) adjacent streets
iv)One (1) of the NTCs had sidewalk on all four (4) adjacent streets
b)The absence of sidewalks (or pedestrians not using existing sidewalks) along with
drivers failing to yield to pedestrians led to uncomfortable pedestrian/ vehicle
interactions.
5)Any thoughts as to the reason that drivers apparently did not slow down?
Intersection traffic management on local streets , such as NTCs, is context-sensitive .
Due to this, they may not address the concerns brought forward and may even
create new ones, which is why we recommend testing them prior to permanent
installation . Our data collection did not include driver attitude surveys ; any thoughts
we would have regarding the observed driver behavior would be speculation. The
behavior observed was not consistent with what was observed on the previous NTC
pilot project.
6)There wasn't much discussion of the curb extensions. What caused them to be rejected?
a)Staff included the curb extensions to narrow the entrance to the neighborhood
to try to raise driver awareness as they entered the neighborhood and to slow
down while traveling.
We did not see a noticeable change in behavior. Additionally, we heard concerns
from the neighborhood regarding vehicle turning maneuvers at certain times of
the day. Specifically, the narrower entrances made it difficult to make the turn
off 26th Street if there was another car waiting at the stop sign. The curb
extensions were as small as they could be while still having a visual effect on the
traveling public. While curb extensions can be effective, they did n't produce the
desired effect in this situation.
b)If sidewalk is approved for Quentin Avenue, staff are planning to install a curb
extension on 26th Street to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians trying to
cross 26th Street to get to the sidewalk on the north side of the street at this
location. Due to the traffic volumes on 26th Street, we believe this is an
important safety improvement.
7)Is there a benefit to having a sidewalk stay on the same side of the street from block to
block?
While having continuous sidewalk on one side of the street is one item we consider
when making our recommendations, past council direction has not made it the
primary consideration.
To develop our staff recommendations, we evaluated the impacts of sidewalk
construction on both sides of the street block by block. Staff 's recommendation for
each block is based on the side of the street with fewer impacts and lower cost. Staff
looked at driveway grades/lengths, proximity to structures, available right of way,
impacts to trees, landscaping, fences, boulevards, and retaining wall construction .
Consistent with past council direction, special consideration was given to minimizing
impacts to private properties and preserving more mature trees when all other
impacts were similar. At times, this results in the recommended sidewalk switching
sides of the street. When this is necessary, it is usually done at an all-way stop to
provide controlled pe destrian crossings.

Title: 2022 Pavement Management Project – Fern Hill (4021-1000)
8)I see staff prefer 6 feet wide sidewalks for community sidewalks where the city does
snow removal. How strong a preference is this? Do we clear sidewalks today that are 5
feet wide.
We recommend a 6 foot wide sidewalk for community sidewalks (city snow
removal). The recommendation for a 6 foot sidewalk is consistent with our
maintenance needs for city snow removal equipment.
The city does remove snow on 5 ft wide sidewalks. These are typically existing
sidewalks or new sidewalks where 6 ft wide sidewalk is not feasible (i.e., limited
right of way , tree preservation). A 5 ft wide sidewalk provides minimal clearance for
snow equipment, leaving little room for error and resulting in a higher likelihood for
damage to grass or any other landscaping near the sidewalk.
9)Is there a way we can slow car traffic even more on share the road bikeways?
The average speeds on the share the road bikeway streets is less than 26 MPH. As a
part of our speed limit modifications, the speed limit throughout the neighborhood
has been reduced from 30 mph to 20 mph.
To promote additional speed reduction, the project includes reducing the width of
the roadway on most of the share the road bikeway segments. In addition, we will
work with the city’s natural resource coordinator on planting additional street trees;
this will further narrow the feel of the corridor to influence speeds.
10) There seems to be a potential problem area at 26th Street and Barry Street. This is
supposed to be a share the road area but that seems concerning.
This one-block section of 26th Street, between Barry Street and Quentin Avenue is
anticipated to have a higher level of stress than the remainder of the bikeway
network due to the confluence of roadways. However, the share the road
designation on this segment is an important link in the network. There is an
alternate route along Toledo Avenue that leads to 28th Street that is available for
bicyclists who feel more comfortable with a lower level of stress route .
11) Do we need a share the road on Quentin Avenue between 28th Street and 26th Street
at all? Are there other alternatives?
The connect the park plan laid out bikeways at approximately half -mile intervals.
Quentin Avenue between 28th Street and 26th Street was included in the bikeway
network because it is the furthest east street that provides a continuous north-south
connection between Toledo and France Avenue s. It also terminates at the
intersection of 26th Street and Barry Street, allowing connection to Benilde -St
Margaret's, Beth El synagogue , and locations to the north.
12) I believe we were contemplating some method of tracking bicycle usage data- are we
able to do that? It would be helpful to have before and after usage data.
Staff collected bike count data prior to the project and has committed to completing
regular bike counts for all the Connect the Park bikeways starting in 2022.
13) Is there industry guidance in regards to car traffic for LTS1 streets?
The level of traffic stress (LTS) is a way to evaluate the stress a bike rider will
experience while riding. Whether or not people will bicycle is heavily influenced by
the stresses they encounter on their trip. Motor vehicle speed and volume increase
the LTS for bicyclists. It is used to categorize roads by the types of riders who will be
Page 4
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 6b )
Title: 2022 Pavement Management Project – Fern Hill (4021-1000)
willing to use them based on traffic speed, volume, and the type of bike facility. In
general, the user served is dependent on the LTS, and the LTS can be reduced by the
type of facility constructed. Leve l of traffic stress is directly related to street
characteristics. The streets within the Fern Hill neighborhood are two-lane, low -
volume and low -speed streets that fall within the LTS 1 definition of generally less
than 1500 vehicles and an average speed of less than 25 MPH.
Feedback received from residents not able to attend the public hearing is attached.
Financial or budget considerations: The following table outlines the estimated project cost and
anticipated funding sources for this project.
CIP Engineer's Estimate
Construction cost $6,427,293.00 $6,455,466.84

Watermain $1,984,662.00 $1,983,606.04
Stormwater $580,750.00 $578,448.87
Sanitary sewer $290,375.00 $326,211.80
General obligation bonds (Connect the
park - sidewalks and bikeways) $621,000 $0
General obligation bonds (sidewalks) $510,600 $0
General fund balance (Connect the
Park - Sidewalks and bikeways) $0 $481,322.64
General fund balance (Sidewalk) $ $585,201.32
Total $7,391,387.00 $7,336,940.51
The engineer's estimate is greater than the CIP. This is primarily due to additional sanitary
sewer replacement being added to the project. During routine televising, utility staff identif ied
the need to replace a sanitary sewer line on Quentin Avenue during project development. The
additional work is necessary to ensure that this line will continue to serve our customers and
we will not need to dig up the new pavement in the near future . It should be noted that we
have reduced the budget for the Sanitary sewer lining project (4022-3000) to make up for this
difference , resulting in no increase in the overall funding for the 2022 transportation and
maintenance project CIP.
The CIP designated general obligation bonds to fund the bikeway and sidewalk segments for
this project. Last fall, the council designated general fund balance overages to pay for all
bikeway and sidewalk improvements in the 2022 CIP. For this project, the cost is broken out by
Connect the Park and other sidewalk to easier track the overall cost to construct the Connect
the Park plan vs. sidewalk construction added to the system based on other council policy.

Hi Aaron,
Thank you again for taking the time to explain the sidewalk and construction plan to me today.
If it is possible, it would be very helpful to me to have a sidewalk on my side of the street(2625 Salem)
since I have a toddler and another baby on the way. We like to ride bikes and go for walks and it
would be much safer for us if we didn't have to worry about crossing the street every time we play.
I am also wondering if we can please put all of the sidewalks on Salem onto one side of the street.
That way we don't have to cross many streets when going up and down Salem, or have to deal with a
lot of jay-walkers(which is dangerous to both drivers and pedestrians). Since we are a through-street
to the highway and two schools, I think it would be safer to us all if we can stay on one side of the
street (there are a lot of children and dog walkers on Salem).
Thank you again for taking the time to listen to our requests and recommendations to make this a
safer neighborhood,

Meeting: City council
Meeting date: February 7, 2022
Action agenda item: 8a
Executive summary
Title: Westside Wine and Spirits – conditional use permit
Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution ap proving a conditional use permit to
operate a liquor store at 8016 Minnetonka Blvd. (Four affirmative votes required )
Policy consideration: Does the proposed liquor store meet city code requirements?
Summary: St. Louis Park resident Thomas Schoenberger requests city approval for a conditional
use permit to operate a liquor store at 8016 Minnetonka Blvd. The liquor store, to be called
Westside Wine & Spirits, will occupy one typical sized tenant space in the Texa-Tonka mall. The
store is proposed to be 3,400 square feet.
Background: The applicant proposes to open an off-sale liquor store and a small food market in
Texa-Tonka mall. The liquor store and market are two separate stores that will be located
adjacent to one-another. Each store will have a separate access to the outside. The easterly
entrance includes an internal vestibule that allows patrons to access each store without fully
stepping outside. The market does not need a conditional use permit, so the application for the
conditional use permit is for the liquor store only.
The planning commission conducted a public hearing on Jan. 19, 2021. One comment was
received from the owner of the Texa-Tonka liquor store located approximately 800 feet west of
the proposed store. He presented a petition to the planning commission requesting the
application be denied. Additionally, one email was received in favor of the application and one
email was received in opposition to the application. The petition and emails are attached. The
planning commission recommended approval.
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.

Background: The applicant proposes to open an off-sale liquor store and a small food market in
Texa-Tonka mall. The liquor store and market are two separate stores that will be located
adjacent to one-another. Each store will have a separate access to the outside. The easterly
entrance includes an internal vestibule that allows patrons to access each store without fully
stepping outside. The market does not need a conditional use permit, so the application for the
conditional use permit is for the liquor store only.
Zoning analysis: The liquor store would be located within the shopping center; therefore,
conditions applicable to the Texa-Tonka mall apply.
Special approvals applicable to Texa-Tonka mall. The board of zoning appeals approved
variances on November 27, 2018. The variances allowed a 12-foot setback for restaurants with
intoxicating liquor licenses from properties zoned residential. The variances also allowed 160
parking spaces for the mall instead of the required 251 parking spaces with the conditions that
restaurants are limited to 5,500 square feet in floor area, outdoor seating is limited to 1,280
square feet in area, and coffee shop uses are limited to 3,000 square feet in floor area.
City council meeting of February 7, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 3
Title: Westside Wine and Spirits – conditional use permit
Parking. Texa-Tonka mall complies with the city code and its variances, and the proposed use
does not alter its compliance with city code.
Façade transparency. City code requires the store front to maintain visibility at least three feet
into the store. Based on the plans, the proposed store meets the façade transparency
requirements.
Signs. The applicant proposes to install a wall sign above the store entrance similar to other
uses in the shopping center.
Conditional use permit standards. The proposal meets the following general conditions required
for approval of a conditional use permit:
1.Consistency with city plans. The proposed liquor store meets community plans, goals, and
objectives. It is a commercial use located within a neighborhood commercial node. It
provides a retail use within walking distance of people that live in the Texa-Tonka
neighborhood, and adjacent Cobblecrest, Aquila and Oak Hill neighborhoods. The proposed
use is supportive of principles, goals, objectives, land use designations, redevelopment
plans, neighborhood objectives, and implementation strategies of the comprehensive plan.
The property is guided “Mixed-Use” which allows commercial uses and allows the liquor
store use with a conditional use permit. Also, the city promotes locally owned small
business.
2.Nuisance. The proposed liquor store use will not have undue adverse impacts on the
existing and anticipated traffic conditions, or parking facilities on the Texa-Tonka mall
property or on adjacent streets.
3.Compliance with code. The liquor store use is allowed in the MX-1 vertical mixed-use district
by conditional use permit, provided it meets the condition of the district that it is at least
1,000 feet from a property containing a pawnshop, currency exchange, payday loan agency,
firearms sales or sexually -oriented business. The proposed liquor store is more than 1,000
feet from these uses; therefore, it meets this condition. Additionally, the liquor store
requires a liquor license issued by the city council. The city council will consider the
application for a liquor license at the same mee ting the conditional use permit is scheduled
to be presented to the city council. Both are tentatively scheduled for the February 7, 2022
city council meeting.
4.Consistency with service capacity. The use will not have undue adverse impacts on
governmental facilities, services or improvements which are either existing or proposed.
5.Site design. The plans for the proposed use are consistent with city code and the design of
the Texa-Tonka mall.
6.Consistency with utilities. The use is consistent with all city s tormwater, sanitary sewer, and
water plans.
7.Conditions specific to site. The use complies with all conditions imposed by the city council
on this site, including the variances granted by the city previously.

Gary,
Jessica and I are Portfolio Managers with Kleinman Realty Co. We are agents for the owner of the
300-unit Aquila and Royal Park properties just to the south the Texa-Tonka shopping Center.
We are in receipt of your notice of hearing regarding a proposed deli / liquor Store at the Texa-
Tonka Shopping Center. I spoke with Paster Properties and he said this concept will be a high end
“wine and cheese” shop like “Club 44” on 44th and France in Edina. https://www.france44.com/ We
discussed this with the owner. We see this addition to the center as a benefit to the neighborhood
and the Aquila and Royal properties.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Matt Hozza, CPM®

Saint Louis Park City Council -
I am a resident of Saint Louis Park (3200 Virginia Ave South, #116).I am submitting this public comment in opposition to building permit for a liquorstore at 8016/8020 Minnetonka Blvd.
As a resident of this neighborhood, I do not feel it is good for this area to add anadditional liquor store.This area is already served by 3 liquor stores (1 on Minnetonka Blvd on the West side ofTexa-tonka bowling alley, and 2 on Texas Avenue, north of hwy 7),There is a significant lack of restaurants and bars, but plenty of liquor stores.There does not seem to be a benefit to area residents (a lack of liquor store competition oravailability).Therefore, the proposal to add an additional liquor store does not seem to be borne of adesire to capture un-met demand - but instead seems to be borne of alternative,predatory goals.
