EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: 2018 Budget Update
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action required. This report and discussion is to
provide an additional check in with Council prior to setting the 2018 preliminary levy.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
What is the 2018 preliminary tax levy the Council wishes to approve on September 18,
2017.
Is the Council in support of setting the 2018 preliminary HRA levy?

SUMMARY: At the study session on August 14, Council discussed a preliminary levy of 5.35%
and 5.80% over last year; since that time staff has continued to fine-tune the budget. As in past
years, the 2018 preliminary property tax levy adopted by the Council on September 18, 2017, can
be decreased, but cannot be increased after that date. This special study session is to provide time
for discussion and a final check in prior to setting the preliminary levy.

Title: 2018 Budget Update
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On August 14, 2017 Council reviewed the preliminary tax levy which at the
time was 5.35% (Option B). At the meeting, it was asked to see what a 5.80% (Option A)
preliminary levy change would look like. This amount would add approximately $135,000 for
unforeseen items and/or council programs that may come up in 2018. Staff added a separate line
item to the levy to illustrate the change.
Staff has looked at some one-time adjustments to the 2018 budget for expenditures that may be
moved up to 2017 along with a few other adjustments. Staff also reviewed proposed revenues
further to ensure they matched anticipated projects. With those changes we have identified another
option of a levy at 4.95% (Option C).
2017 City Final Levy and 2018 City Preliminary Levy Range
A synopsis of prior year levy information and the 2018 Proposed Preliminary Levy Range is shown
below:
1. The 2017 Preliminary levy was $30,464,756, which was 6.50% more than 2016.
2. The 2017 Final levy was $30,264,073 which was 5.80% more than 2016.
3. At this point in time, based on the budgets which have been submitted and debt service
needs, Council could consider the following: Option A – 5.80%, Option B – 5.35%, or
Option C – 4.95%.

At the August 14 study session staff was asked to provide a breakout of the categories of
increases in the General Fund and the debt service needs for 2018 vs. 2017. This information is
as follows. Note that this information only relates to the proposed General Fund Levy for
Options B:
Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: 2018 Budget Update
.
HRA Levy
Based on current and future infrastructure needs, the HRA Levy is recommended to be set at the
maximum allowed of 0.0185% of estimated market value for the 2018 Budget, which is consistent
with previous years. This levy is committed to pay back a loan from the Development Fund that
helped cash flow the City’s obligation for Highway 7 and Louisiana and is expected to be paid off
by 2020-2021. By law these funds could also be used for other housing and redevelopment
purposes but considering the significant infrastructure needs within the City, the proceeds have
not been used for housing. Staff has calculated the maximum HRA Levy for 2018 to be $1,172,786
based on valuation data from Hennepin County. This is an increase of $86,325 or 7.95% from
2017. Staff is recommending the 2018 Preliminary HRA Levy be set at the maximum.
Budget Webpage and E-mail: As Council is aware, in an effort to provide a more transparent
budget process, staff has created a webpage on the City’s website and an e-mail address for any
questions that arise. The link is: https://www.stlouispark.org/government/departments-
divisions/finance/city-budget and the e-mail address is: budget@stlouispark.org. We are also
planning to do a Facebook live budget presentation in the fall.
Trends in Valuations and Possible Property Tax Implications:
For the 2017 assessment, St. Louis Park’s taxable market value increased by 6.6% with all of the
dominant property types increasing in value. Composition of the change is summarized as +5.8%
for single-family homes, +7.0 for condos, +4.8 for townhomes, +9.5% for apartments, and the
commercial-industrial sectors at +6.9%. As can be surmised by the above figures, there will be a
slight shift of the property tax burden to commercial, condos, and apartment properties for the
Payable 2018 tax period. This shift will be mitigated somewhat when considering all taxing
jurisdictions that make up the typical property tax bill (in the aggregate, other County jurisdictions
increased at higher rates for single-family homes but at lower rates for apartments and commercial
properties).

Title: 2018 Budget Update
Fiscal Disparities: The City is a net contributor to the Fiscal Disparities program. For 2018 our
net contribution of tax capacity to the pool will increase to $4,787,086 or 12.5% over 2017
CIP (Capital Improvement Plan): Staff has completed the first round work on the CIP (2018-
2027). This information has been programmed into the LRFMP and Finance is analyzing the
results in an effort to create long-term sustainability in funds and also looking at where changes in
funding or expenditures/expenses need to occur for the City Council and City Manager to consider.
Staff will present the projects identified at the October 9th meeting. The Draft CIP is only provided
as information at this point.
Utility Funds: All utility funds will be presented during the budget review on October 9th and,
like previous years, with a review of rates in accordance with the City’s Long Range Financial
Management Plan (LRFMP). As in previous years, all utility rates are analyzed and adjusted as
needed to meet operational and capital needs, while also working to meet appropriate cash position
guidelines.
Water: For 2018, the City will be in the eighth year of the ten year plan for increasing the
fixed rate charges to reduce volatility in the fund due to seasonal usage fluctuations. Usage
rates will also be increased to meet more aggressive demands for infrastructure
replacement within the City’s aging system with an estimated rate change of 5-6%.
Significant expenses for this fund are capital and debt service needs, staffing, and the Reilly
Superfund site.
Sewer: Rates are also expected to increase due to the City’s more aggressive infrastructure
replacement plan. Sewer costs are mainly to support the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services charge (MCES), staffing and capital costs. Estimated rate change
is 4-6%.
Solid Waste: Rates for this fund are expected to continue to support more of a pay as you
throw type rate structure. Rates may also vary depending on any enhanced or new
initiatives the Council would like to pursue. As a reminder, our hauler contracts will expire
in 2018. The major expenses for this fund are the contract charges, supplies and staffing.
Storm Water: Due to the interest the Council and community have in surface water, staff
will continue to develop, modify, connect and communicate programs to both the City
Council and the community. After updating the 10-year plan staff has estimated a rate
change of 5-7% at this time. Rate increases will help meet the increased capital needs and
debt service obligations. Significant expenses for this fund currently are capital and
staffing.
NEXT STEPS: As the 2018 budget process continues, the following preliminary schedule
snapshot has been developed for Council:
September 18 Council establishes the 2018 preliminary property tax levy and HRA levy.
(Levies can be reduced, but not increased for final property tax levies.)
October 9 Review and discussion of 2018 budget, CIP, utility rates and LRFMP.

Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1)

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: On June 26, 2017, staff met with the City Council to discuss the 2018 Budget
Process. Council agreed that staff should follow recommendations from the “2018 Budget
Production Guidelines” when preparing the 2018 Budget. Assumptions for the 2018 Budget
included a pattern similar to past years; a levy increase, modest increase in other fees and charges
where appropriate to fit with business costs, maintain high quality and responsive service delivery,
hold expenditures flat where possible with adjustments for some modest growth based on essential
business needs, funding for a wage and benefit contribution increase, utility rate adjustments, and
continued long range financial planning. In addition, Council discussed business needs and
operations as it related to preparing the 2018 budget. Staff has provided follow up information as
an attachment to this report.
Discussion Topics – Monday, August 14th:
The purpose of the Study Session discussion is to make sure service delivery and business needs
are congruent with Council expectations in preparing the 2018 Budget. For 2018, staff used the
budget guiding principles, as well as Vision, and the key organizational cultural behaviors of
Collaboration, Quality and Responsiveness for preparing budget recommendations. The Study
Session discussion is intended to be at the higher level to allow Council, if possible, to provide
levy direction to staff as well as identify other initiatives they would like staff to add or explore.
Based upon this discussion, staff can then prepare more information to bring back to the City
Council as needed at a later date.
Below is the outline of the budget presentation and discussion for this Study Session:
1.Discussion on overall budget, department requests, and council requested items for staff to
explore.
2. 2018 Preliminary Property Tax Levy range discussion.
3. 2018 Preliminary HRA Levy discussion.
4.Council questions, comments, expectations, and data requests for upcoming meetings,
including the budget calendar.
Budget Webpage and E-mail: As Council is aware, in an effort to provide a more transparent
budget process, staff has created a webpage on the City’s website and an e-mail address for any
questions that arise. The link is: https://www.stlouispark.org/government/departments-
divisions/finance/city-budget and the e-mail address is: budget@stlouispark.org. A Facebook live
budget presentation is also planned for the fall.
The 2018 Preliminary Budget Items of Significance:
Legislative directives:
•There are no levy limits in place for 2018.
•Local Government Aid for 2018 has been certified; St. Louis Park will receive $566,591
which is $21,121 more than the $545,470 certified for 2017. These dollars go into the
Capital Replacement Fund.
Staffing Costs wages: Funds for staffing are the largest expenditure of the City’s operating
budget. In building the 2018 budget recommendations, a wage adjustment of 3% is being used as
an assumption. As a reminder, Local 49 Maintenance contract is settled for 2018 with a 3% wage
adjustment, the other contracts will expire on December 31, 2017.
Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1)
Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 8
PERA Coordinated Plan: Employee contribution of 6.50% of salary and employer contribution
of 7.50% of salary in 2017 will remain the same at this point in 2018.
PERA Police and Fire: Employee contribution of 10.8% and employer contribution of 16.2% in
2017 will remain the same at this point in 2018.
Benefits: For 2018, we are fortunate to have a rate cap with HealthPartners for an increase not to
exceed 9% in health insurance premiums. We expect a modest increase in dental insurance
premiums as well. Staff continues to work with the City’s benefits consultant and internal benefits
committee on cost containment on claims. The wellness benefit for 2017 was set at $40 per
employee per month and is recommended to remain the same in 2018. Using this data, a general
employer benefit contribution increase has been estimated.
Operational Costs: Staff is being asked to look at how operational costs have been changing with
the ever changing market conditions, as well as planning ahead for operational needs with focus
areas relating to the environment, trails and sidewalks, transportation, ongoing development,
continued strength in public safety, fire prevention, neighborhoods and housing. Energy costs will
continue to be monitored closely given the potential for volatility in this sector of the economy.
Summary of Significant 2018 Budget Personnel Requests:
The most significant requests received from departments in the 2018 budget relate to staffing. All
requests are in the process of being reviewed by the City Manager with each applicable Department
Director. In order to determine the final recommendations staff will continue to review business
needs and funding and also look at alternatives for service delivery with some requests and moving
some requests to future year(s) for consideration. Below is the summary of staffing requests and
funding recommendations. Note – staff is providing all of the staffing requests made by
Directors to the City Manager. After Directors discussions with the City Manager, all
requests were not included in the 2018 preliminary recommendation at this time.
What staffing additions or changes were in the initial requests for 2018?

Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1)
Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 10
Summary of Significant 2018 Budget Non-personnel Requests That Are Included:
•Administrative Services – Increased expenditures for training ($10,000) and consulting
services ($25,000) related to advancing racial equity and support of proposed position.
Funding continued from 2016 and 2017 and now included in Administration budget along
with position.
•Engineering – Increase of $20,000 for right of way permit revenues to reflect prior actuals.
•Fire – Increase of approximately $8,000 for ongoing pulse point maintenance.
•Police – Increase of $25,000 for training which is offset by a grant from the state.
•Information Resources – The cumulative increase in expenditures is approximately
$42,000 for computer services (e.g., LOGIS, County, Laserfiche, and external audit).
Increase of $6,000 of advertising for Facebook and other forms of communications in
communications/marketing budget.
•Inspections – Proposed increase in licenses and permit revenue from $3.26m to $3.42m or
approximately $156,000 based on historical and projected projects in 2018. Facility
Maintenance utility costs are estimated to decrease $28,000 related to heating gas in our
buildings.
•Operations and Recreation – Revenues are projected to increase slightly overall in
Organized Recreation and Recreation Center budgets. In addition our Highway User Tax
revenue is expected to increase by $80,835 for public works operations (state funding for
municipal road maintenance). On the expenditure side, proposed increase for Park
Maintenance related to additional day for Sentence to Serve (STS) crew of $18,500 for
additional maintenance. We currently contract for 5 days of STS Service and either they
would add a day or just add a crew to the 5 days. In addition, contractual services of
$20,000 for maintenance of the landscape at City Hall/PD, Fire stations, MSC and SLP
entrance sign areas; including weeding and mulch/plant replacement.
A decrease of approximately $162,000 in the Vehicle Maintenance budget due to lower
fuel costs and continued use of state contract.
•Contingency –A General Fund contingency line item is included in the preliminary budget
for the Police and Fire contract changes if agreed upon in upcoming negotiations to adjust
to 85thpercentile with above average performance.
•One-time items – Staff is preparing a list of one-time expenditures in 2018 budget that can
be moved back to 2017 if budget is projected to have sufficient funds to move them to
2017. We will review this later in the year. Last year we moved up a few police
expenditure items.
•Cable TV Fund – Staff recommends continuing with the plan to reduce the transfer from
the Cable TV Fund to the General Fund by $25,000 per year. Reducing the annual transfer
by $25,000 each year through 2019 and by $34,506 in 2020 will improve sustainability in
the fund until the franchise fee agreement expires in 2021. At that point, if no new
agreement is in place, the fund could operate through 2022 and into early 2023 before
running out of resources as currently budgeted.

Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 11
Council information requests from June 26 study session: At the Study Session on June 26th,
2017, Council discussed business needs and operations as it related to preparing the 2018 budget.
As part of the discussion, there were requests for information and follow-up on a number of areas.
This information is included in the attached document Follow up questions from June 26th study
session. Please note, unless otherwise noted in that attachment, those items are not included in the
2018 projection. More information can be provided if needed.
Franchise Fees: In the past, Council has directed staff to consider franchise fee adjustments every
odd numbered year. For the 2018 Budget, there will be no adjustment as that will be part of the
2019 budget processes.
Fees, Charges and Other Revenues: Staff will continue to review current fee data based on cost
analyses and other communities before making recommendations for the 2018 Fee Schedules for
the Council to consider later this year.
LRFMP (Long Range Financial Management Plan): This document will be presented at future
meetings with Council to assist in setting property tax levies, debt management, fees, utility rates
and budgets.
CIP (Capital Improvement Plan): Staff has completed the first round work on the CIP (2018-
2027). This information has been programmed into the LRFMP and Finance is analyzing the
results in an effort to create long-term sustainability in funds and also looking at where changes in
funding or expenditures/expenses need to occur for the City Council and City Manager to consider.
The Council will see a draft of the plan on September 5th and again in the fall.
Trends in Valuations and Possible Property Tax Implications:
For the 2017 assessment, St. Louis Park’s taxable market value increased by 6.6% with all of the
dominant property types increasing in value. Composition of the change is summarized as +5.8%
for single-family homes, +7.0 for condos, +4.8 for townhomes, +9.5% for apartments, and the
commercial-industrial sectors at +6.9%. As can be surmised by the above figures, there will be a
slight shift of the property tax burden to commercial, condos, and apartment properties for the
Payable 2018 tax period. This shift will be mitigated somewhat when considering all taxing
jurisdictions that make up the typical property tax bill (in the aggregate, other County jurisdictions
increased at higher rates for single-family homes but at lower rates for apartments and commercial
properties).
2017 City Final Levy and 2018 City Preliminary Levy Range
A synopsis of prior year levy information and the 2018 Proposed Preliminary Levy Range is shown
below:
1. The 2017 Preliminary levy was $30,464,756, which was 6.50% more than 2016.
2. The 2017 Final levy was $30,264,073 which was 5.8% more than 2016.
3.The preliminary 2018 budget requests came in at approximately 8.6%. After review by
City Manager and working closely with Department Directors, the 2018 budget
recommendation have been modified from original requests. At this point in time, the
budgets which have been submitted and debt service needs would require a 2018
Preliminary Property Tax Levy range increase of approximately 5.35% - 5.50% more than
the 2017 Final Levy (preliminary levy once approved in September can be reduced but
cannot be increased). The levy will be discussed in further detail at the September 5th
budget work session.

for 2018. For 2018, funds for Advancing Race/Equity have been moved to the General Fund as an ongoing expense.
HRA Levy
Based on current and future infrastructure needs, the HRA Levy is recommended to be set at the
maximum allowed of 0.0185% of estimated market value for the 2018 Budget, which is consistent
with previous years. This levy is committed to pay back a loan from the Development Fund that
helped cash flow the City’s obligation for Highway 7 and Louisiana and is expected to be paid off
by 2020-2021. By law these funds could also be used for other housing and redevelopment
purposes but considering the significant infrastructure needs within the City, the proceeds have
not been used for housing. Staff has calculated the maximum HRA Levy for 2018 to be $1,172,786
based on valuation data from Hennepin County. This is an increase of $86,325 or 7.95% from
2017. Staff is recommending the 2018 Preliminary HRA Levy be set at the maximum.
Utility Funds: All utility funds will be presented during the budget process as in previous years
with a review of rates in accordance with the City’s Long Range Financial Management Plan
(LRFMP). As in previous years, all utility rates are analyzed, adjusted as needed to meet
operational and capital needs, while also working to meet appropriate cash position guidelines.
Over the next several months staff from various departments will gather to review the utility funds,
to review rate structures in conjunction with short term and longer term program needs.
•Water: For 2018, the City will be in the eighth year of the ten year plan for increasing the
fixed rate charges to reduce volatility in the fund due to seasonal usage fluctuations. Usage
rates will also be increased to meet more aggressive demands for infrastructure
replacement within the City’s aging system. Significant expenses for this fund are capital,
staffing, and the Reilly Superfund site and debt service. As directed by Council, staff will
further study water conservation, irrigation and rates in 2017 to prepare for future
recommendations.
•Sewer: Rates are also expected to increase due to the City’s more aggressive infrastructure
replacement plan. Sewer costs are mainly to support the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services charge (MCES), staffing and capital costs.
•Solid Waste: Rates for this fund are expected to continue to support more of a pay as you
throw type rate structure. Rates may also vary depending on any enhanced or new
initiatives the Council would like to pursue. As a reminder, our hauler contracts will expire
in 2018. The major expenses for this fund are the contract charges, supplies and staffing.
•Storm Water: With the interest the Council and community have in surface water, staff will
continue to develop, modify, connect and communicate programs to both the City Council
Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1)
Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 13
and the community. Based on Council direction to place more emphasis on storm water
management, along with increasing regulations, rates will need to continue to be adjusted
over the next few years. These increases will help meet the increased capital needs.
Significant expenses for this fund currently are capital and staffing.
NEXT STEPS: As the 2018 budget process continues, the following preliminary schedule
snapshot has been developed for Council:
September 5 (Tues) High level 2018 Budget, CIP, fees, utility rates discussion, and adopt HRA
levy. This meeting will be focused on proposed preliminary levy discussion
with direction provided to staff to prepare information for the September
18th meeting adopting preliminary levies.
September 18 Council establish 2018 preliminary property tax levy.
(Levies can be reduced, but not increased for final property tax levies.)

Follow-up Questions from June 26th Study Session
At the Study Session on June 26th, 2017, Council discussed business needs and operations as it
related to preparing the 2018 budget. As part of the discussion, there were requests for
information and follow-up on a number of areas. Listed below are the questions from the study
session and department responses. More information can be provided if needed.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Advancing Race Equity Courageous Conversations
QUESTION: What would be an estimated cost for a community initiative?
ANSWER: In 2017 a group of staff participated with Bloomington and Maplewood in a 2 day
courageous conversation workshop. 25 people from St. Louis Park attended. This workshop was
presented by Pacific Education Group.
Details:
•2 day workshop (attendance at both days was required)
•Cost $10,000 for the 2-day workshop not including facility fee or food.
•Maximum participants for the 2 day session: 80.
Cost to run this program would be dependent on the number of sessions and participants. Each
2 day workshop with 80 participants is $10,000. Expenses or facility and food/beverages would
need to be added.
Property Tax Refunds and Deferral Programs for Seniors
QUESTION: Can we create a program for senior citizen property tax assistance.
ANSWER: Staff felt a starting point was to provide some background on the State’s current
programs offered to provide relief in this area.
Regular Property Tax Refund Program
-Renters may qualify for a refund up to $2,060 if their household income is less than
$58,880.
-Homestead owners may qualify for a refund up to $2,060 if household income is less
than $108,660
-Further information can be found at:

-http://www.revenue.state.mn.us/Forms_and_Instructions/m1pr_16_onscreen.pdf
Special Property Tax Refund Program
-Homestead owners may qualify for a refund IF their net property taxes increased by
more than $100 and by more than 12% from one year to the next. There is no income
limit on this program.
-Further information can be found at:

Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 15
Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Program
This program allows seniors to defer payment of their property taxes. If eligible, the
applicant will need to pay up to 3% of their household income toward property taxes
each year. The state pays the remaining property taxes due – as a loan – and will place
a lien on the property for the taxes and interest accrued. The total unpaid balance of
debts secured by mortgages and other liens against the property may not exceed 75% of
the property’s market value. General eligibility requirements:
-One spouse must be at least 62 and the other at least 65.
-Total household income may not exceed $60,000
-The property must have been owned and occupied as homestead for the last 15 years.
-There must be no state or federal tax liens or judgment liens on the property.

Baseline Property Tax Levy Increase Required
QUESTION: If there were no changes to the budget other than the basics, what would the percent
change in a basic property tax levy be?
ANSWER: With the basic assumptions used on standard compensation and benefit changes, debt
service, revenue and expenditure assumptions, an estimated necessary levy increase would be
approximately 4.03%. Currently, the proposed preliminary levy developed by staff is estimated
around 5.35%.

Community Center feasibility study
QUESTION: Discuss putting this project in the 10-year capital improvement plan (CIP)
ANSWER: Council discussion and direction is needed with guidance on overall priority. This is not
in any funding projections at this time. Staff is currently working on the 2018-2027 CIP and would
like some direction on the year and priority of the project.
Sidewalk Snowplowing
QUESTION: What would it cost to plow all city sidewalks using seasonal staff, contracting, use of
overtime and what is our current cost for sidewalk plowing?
ANSWER: Information is updated from what was provided to council in 2016. Estimates are the
same, miles of sidewalk has increased to include new construction.
•What is the cost using part-time/seasonal staff?
-Five additional sidewalk routes would be required to clear the “residential” sidewalk
segments.
-We anticipate each route would require approximately 500 labor hours for a total
of 2500 labor hours.
-An average seasonal employee rate is estimated at $25/hour, but may need to be
higher to attract competent operators willing to remain on standby. At $25/hour,
the estimated annual labor cost would be $62,500.
-Similarly, five new sidewalk machines would need to be purchased at an estimated
up front cost of $750,000 ($150k each), or an eight-year annualized cost of
$93,750/year.
-Therefore, estimated labor and equipment costs to clear the additional mileage via
seasonal/part-time staff would be $62,500 + $93,750 or $156,250 per year.
-It is important to note that if staff is worked over 30 hours on a regular basis, cost
for healthcare would need to be added to the wage rate. Additionally, the Local
49er Union Contract has language that limits us in use of equipment by
seasonal/part-time staff and restrictions on time worked within a calendar
year. Discussions would need to occur with the union.
•What is the cost for service (contractor) to do work? Approximately $1.2M cost to cover
the resident-maintained portion of the system only. The estimate was received directly
from a contractor already working within the Special Service Districts two years ago. Staff
reached out to three snow removal contractors already performing work for the city: One
responded with the above estimate and two others declined submitting an estimate
stating they were not interested in the work. The large upfront investment likely drove the
contractor’s costs and the immediate availability of the contractor to perform the work
with the unpredictability of the snow events. Staff would need to do a request for proposal
if an option like this is chosen. This cost will increase in direct relation to the additional
segments built via the Connect the Park construction effort.
•What is the cost for the city to plow all sidewalks assuming this would be done on
overtime? Given the fact that when a snow event happens all maintenance staff are
Special Study Session Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 1)
Title: 2018 Budget Update Page 18
involved and typically work 10-12 hour shifts (including overtime), the current staff would
not be able to add the additional hours if the snow must be removed within 2 days.
An option would be to add 5 public service workers @ $80k = $400k plus the additional 5
sidewalk machines @ $150k each. The staffing estimate is based on the 62.7 miles
maintained by residents and the average length of our routes are 12 miles.
•What is the current cost for what we do now for sidewalk snow removal? For our current
routes, the cost is approximately $90-$120K/year (staff and equipment) depending on the
year and the frequency/amount of responses requiring work on overtime. Costs for snow
removal are only recorded as the time spent actually operating the snow removal
equipment and do not include any administrative or overhead costs.
•How much would we save if we discontinued clearing any sidewalks? The cost estimate
to do the current sidewalk removal is $90k-120k/year depending on the season. If we
discontinued plowing current sidewalks, the recommendation would be to maintain the
current level of staffing to cover other related maintenance activities. Therefore the
savings would be in overtime related to sidewalk activities of $2k-$10k (estimate
depending on snowfall amounts for the season). The equipment savings would come
from the elimination of three out of the four sidewalk machines (approximately
$60K/year in annualized savings). Staff would still anticipate keeping one machine in the
fleet inventory.
Here are some basic facts about our sidewalk system:
•Current miles plowed by city staff: 52.4 miles
•Number of current routes: 4
•Average route length: 50.2/4 = 12.5 miles
•Current miles cleared by residents: 62.7 miles
Other items to consider:
•What is the problem or opportunity to be addressed?
•Ability to attract/retain competent and reliable part-time staff who would be expected to
work with an unpredictable schedule.
•Physical width and condition of certain sidewalks in the community will make snow
removal difficult.
•The city’s approach for removal on a mass basis will not provide for a bare pavement
result.
•Concerns about meeting expectations given the above and other considerations.

Other Concept: This concept was developed by staff in Community Development.
Pilot Snow Removal Program for Senior Community Services (SCS)
Who would this serve: Seniors (60+) in targeted neighborhoods identified by the city. To start
a program, it would be a limited “pilot” area of the city. Also need to determine if there is
additional criteria other than “seniors age 60+” and how this would work administratively.
What would program include: Sidewalk on boulevard only, would not include driveway or
sidewalks up to the house. No shoveling on private property.
Price: A flat fee is charged per person, per snowfall for two inches of snow or more. Fee of $35-
$45/snowfall to be determined.
Who pays: City, resident or combination? SCS experience has shown better buy in from the
person you are helping if they pay at least something, even if it is minimal. Additional discussion
would be needed to determine funding source and who pays what share.
Geographic area: SCS would prefer a smaller geographic area such as a neighborhood or adjacent
neighborhoods to ensure more households are served. The more spread out the properties are,
the fewer they can serve. SCS would also recommend starting with up to 50 households for this
pilot program in the targeted areas.
Marketing and hiring: SCS has some difficulty hiring people to do snow removal. SCS would be
hiring a special group of “contractors” for this pilot program. Ideally they would try to hire people
right out of the neighborhood, or at least in St. Louis Park. They have found that the motivation
for people to work as contractors is more than just the money, it is helping out and when you are
helping neighbors, they get an even better commitment.
To identify neighborhoods, SCS recommended looking at properties with snow removal citations
(our records show citations are minimal to none for sidewalks), demographic data on
neighborhoods with high senior populations, and strong neighborhood commitment to help
recruit both clients and “contractors”.

UNOFFICIAL MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
AUGUST 14, 2017
The meeting convened at 5:33 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano (arrived at 6:20 p.m.) Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin,
Gregg Lindberg, Anne Mavity, Thom Miller, and Susan Sanger.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Director of Operations and Recreation (Ms.
Walsh), Director of Engineering (Ms. Heiser), Director of Inspections (Mr. Hoffman), Chief
Information Officer (Mr. Pires), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno),
Police Chief, (Mr. Harcey), Fire Chief (Mr. Koering), Chief Financial Officer (Mr. Simon),
Community Development Director (Ms. Barton), Communications & Marketing Manager (Ms.

Guest: Lt. Paul Barnes and Sergeant Jon Parker, St. Louis Park Police Department; Tiffany
Hoffman, Elizabeth Griffin, Amy Burns, Charlie Goldstrom.
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – September, 2017
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed Study Session agenda for September, 2017.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the Placia Site discussion might get pushed back. He noted that
the Highway 169 Mobility Study Pack Meeting will take place on September 20, adding that the
group is looking for direction from the city council on policy issues.
Councilmember Mavity noted that related to the policing model discussion sessions, there will
need to be a community listening session and community engagement involved in this process.
Mr. Harmening stated that the community engagement process and how that will look needs to be
further discussed with council before it is scheduled.
Councilmember Sanger stated that the city has recently informed current candidates for city
council seats that the individual contribution limit to municipal campaigns has been raised to $600,
although the City Charter specifies a limit of $250. She stated that this interpretation is contrary to
the legal opinion that the city received several years ago and that this new interpretation also raises
much larger issues about municipal local control. She requested that the city obtain a second legal
opinion and that the council discuss this matter at a study session in the near future. Mr. Harmening
indicated that he would schedule this item for the meeting next week.
2. 2018 Budget Update
Mr. Simon presented and noted that no formal action is needed at this time. The report is to assist
with discussion regarding the 2018 budget in order to receive direction from the council for further
conversation at the September 5 Special Study Session. He added that this will be in preparation
for setting the 2018 preliminary property tax levy on September 18, 2017.
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
Mr. Simon noted that the city manager and staff are currently analyzing submitted budgets for
2018. He added that staff would like direction from the council on any major changes, programs,
or policies that should be evaluated during the preparation of the 2018 budget. Mr. Simon stated
that the preliminary levy proposed at this time is 5.35% - 5.5%. He asked the council to consider
this range, noting that it cannot be increased, but only be decreased, after the preliminary levy is
set.
Councilmember Mavity asked if the analysis presented on September 5 will note how the levy
impacts the average homeowner. Mr. Simon stated yes, that would be included.
Councilmember Miller stated there is $1 million in the general fund and $1 million in debt, and
asked if Mr. Simon could explain this. Mr. Simon stated that most of this is wages and benefits for
new recommended positions in addition to some expenditure and revenue changes. Mr. Simon also
noted that the HRA levy, which the EDA approves each year, is based on the market rate
established by state statute and our current interfund loan is estimated to be paid off in 2019 -2020.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that he is looking forward to the Highway 7 and Louisiana interfund
loan being paid off and asked if the HRA levy can be added back once it is paid off. Ms. Barton
noted this levy can be used for further infrastructure, affordable housing, or staffing related to
affordable housing, but not for capital improvements.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the new staff positions being requested by department directors
are still pending requests or if some have been approved. Mr. Harmening stated that all positions
noted are still pending and some are identified in the report as recommended additions. He added
that staff wants to be certain that council understands all position requests received from directors.
Councilmember Sanger stated that she did not feel in the best position to tell Mr. Harmening what
staff person is needed or not needed, adding she is looking for him to tell the council what is
needed. Councilmember Sanger also noted the budget implications of having all sidewalks plowed
by the city, which she stated is still a basic equity issue. She still believes the city should plow all
sidewalks at taxpayer expense, but noted that she does understand there are some sidewalks that
are too narrow to plow. She proposed more research on this issue by staff and asked about
providing the use of the community service pilot project for these narrower sidewalks. She also
asked about the financial implications.
Councilmember Mavity stated she did not think there was agreement on the council to continue
discussion on this issue and is not interested in further discussion on this topic at this time adding
that the council needs to move forward.
Councilmember Miller stated he would like to continue the conversation as it relates to the budget,
noting this is the appropriate time to do so. He stated it is a policy and an equity issue, and he
wants to call the conversation on it.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is not hearing a great demand in Ward 4 on this issue and is not
interested in committing resources to it.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he appreciated this information related to the budget but noted it
has been discussed many times and he is not in favor of it. He noted a neighbor recently expressed
appreciation that the city was looking into other solutions for this issue.
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
Councilmember Mavity stated she likes the idea of a senior chores service partnering with the city
for seniors or disabled folks.
Councilmember Sanger stated that if the council believes the chores service is the answer, she
would be happy to connect them with a person who is on the waiting list for this service. She added
that there are so few volunteers and so many on the waiting list, she hopes the city can get a
commitment from the service to do the shoveling.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated this is not something he wants to invest time or money on, and
the majority is more interested in the pilot program on shoveling. He added the general direction
by most of the council is to not continue discussion on city wide sidewalk snowplowing at this
time.
Councilmember Miller asked about two positions that were listed as needed by staff - Operations
and Facility Recreation Supervisor and Management Assistant. He noted that these positions
represent large dollar amounts.
Mr. Harmening stated the Management Assistant was a staff position that was cut back in 2009,
when across all departments several staff members were cut through attrition or layoffs. He noted
that this position will be a help to him and Ms. Deno in running a very busy department. He added
the council is very forward thinking and staff needs people to help with this very time-consuming
work. Ms. Deno added help is needed to research items and special projects for council that call
for in-depth work. Additionally, there is upcoming work on the climate action plan.
Mr. Harmening stated that the city can also utilize the Operations and Facility Recreation
Supervisor to promote facilities, including all areas of the Rec Center, and to bring in more revenue
by broadening the use of these facilities. He added that the newly remodeled nature center will
also need more promotion.
Ms. Walsh added that the city gets many calls about connecting people to programs, and we want
to provide this support with this new position. To meet with customer demands and service needs
for special events for all recreation programs more staff support is needed. Also, Jason West will
need a large amount of time handling responsibilities of the upcoming rebuild of Westwood Nature
Center, and staff support is needed to handle some of his current responsibilities of the pool,
programs and customer service.
Councilmember Miller also noted that he appreciated the addition of a race equity position in the
budget.
Councilmember Mavity asked why there was not more information in the budget on goals around
race equity and building this up through staff and departments. Mr. Harmening stated that each
department is working on it with their action plans that are in place. Ms. Deno added that the action
plans are operational and based on action requested by council. These action plans will be reported
to council at the upcoming study session in September.
Mayor Spano pointed out that the Race Equity Coordinator position has strong outreach and
community engagement. He added that he wants to be sure this person plays a role in policy
suggestion, also.
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 4
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
Councilmember Brausen appreciated the budget analysis and areas where cost savings were noted.
He liked the information on property tax refunds, the idea behind multi-family rental programs,
and seed grants for affordable housing.
Councilmember Mavity agreed.
Councilmember Sanger stated she did not see pay raises for councilmembers next year. Ms. Deno
stated that is already in place in the budget.
Councilmember Sanger asked, if the council moves forward with ranked choice voting if there are
considerations in the budget for it. Ms. Deno stated yes, noting an election intern is also included
in the budget. If a consultant were hired, there would be funding through the budget under
professional services.
Councilmember Sanger asked Mr. Pires about the search engine on the city’s new website, noting
it still does not seem to be working. She asked if there needs to be money in the budget to address
this. Mr. Pires stated that the money is already in the budget, and the issue will be addressed this
year.
Mayor Spano also noted that the school district is looking at their taxing authority and when setting
the levy, the council will need to consider what implications this may have on property owners in
2018.
Mr. Harmening stated there will be a presentation to the council by the school board next week.
Council asked staff to look at a 5.8% percent levy change for 2018 also.
3. St. Louis Park Policing Model/Critical Incident Planning (Session 1 of 4)
Mr. Harmening stated that this would be the first of four sessions with the council, Chief Harcey,
and police staff. Additional sessions will cover policy and procedures, critical incidents, and
council response to a critical incident. These will be informational meetings with the council,
where questions can be asked. Tonight’s presentation will be on the St. Louis Park Policing model,
as well as procedural justice; police officer hiring standards; and officer training standards. He
noted that tonight’s presentation will also be posted on the city website for all to view.
Chief Harcey, Sergeant Barnes, and Lt. Parker all presented. Chief Harcey explained that the St.
Louis Park Police Department has built community trust through Community Oriented Policing.
Chief Harcey stated that the police force in St. Louis Park is here to serve the public and is
committed to preventing crime and disorder. He stated that the force works closely in collaboration
with the city and its residents, and they use ethics, integrity, and legitimacy in policing. Chief
Harcey stated that the police force has gone through Procedural Justice training on building trust
with the community, by treating all citizens with respect and dignity, providing a citizens voice in
the process, providing transparent communication and through impartial and unbiased decision
making.
Sergeant Barnes discussed hiring standards and recruitment practices in the police force. He noted
that in Minnesota, it is required that a police officer have either a 2- or 4-year college degree.
Police training is completed in two college semesters, and then post licensing examinations are
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
required. Sergeant Barnes noted that several areas of learning are required, including core
competencies, foundational knowledge, performance of peace officer duties and tasks, tools,
techniques, and tactics. He explained that St. Louis Park recruitment efforts are traditional and
involve recruiting community service officers, interns, and Pathways to Policing participants.
Sergeant Barnes also noted that St. Louis Park works to hire the right person and then to train them
to the city’s standards and culture. Interviewing is conducted by police peers and a community
member. Very thorough background checks are conducted on all candidates. Character and fit are
considered carefully with each candidate. Additionally, he noted that physical and psychological
examinations are conducted on each candidate before final hiring.
Lt. Parker, who works in field training, explained how Police Training Officers are selected and
trained.
Councilmember Miller asked Lt. Parker to explain some of the training he has been through and
how that has helped him in various situations.
Lt. Parker stated there is a lot of training, but added that everything is based on the culture. The
St. Louis Park Police Department has a culture of service, including treating everyone fairly and
equitably. This helps the force in all of their dealings. He added that they try to understand the
situation before they make assumptions, and they work collaboratively with neighbors and
counterparts. He stated that they work to ensure the safety of suspects and the safety of officers.
Councilmember Sanger complimented the force, stating they clearly are doing a great job both on
hiring and training. She added that as a compliment to the St. Louis Park Police, in her 23 years
on the council, she has only had one complaint regarding the bias of a police officer, and that
situation was ultimately resolved.
Councilmember Mavity also noted the service culture of the force, and added that she very much
appreciates the fact that the police treat suspects as human beings first. She stated that these are
the values of our community that we want to bring forward. They need to be articulated and
captured on our website as part of our community values. Councilmember Mavity also asked about
the city neighborhood meetings and what the police may have learned from them. Chief Harcey
stated that the police educated the neighborhood groups on what to do in certain situations, and
they also received information from residents on what is going on in their neighborhoods and how
the police can help. He added that they still need to find a way to reach residents who are not
already part of the police community, adding that they will try to do more of an open house
approach next year, to reach more folks and a different audience.
Chief Harcey stated the force is also working on facilitating community engagement meetings so
residents can get to know the police. Additionally, getting into the schools to reach kids and parents
is very important.
Councilmember Hallfin asked about the police SWAT teams, militarization of police forces, and
what St. Louis Park’s police philosophy is on these. Chief Harcey stated that officers do have
military style rifles in their cars, adding that officers need to have the correct equipment. He added
that they do also share some resources with the SWAT consortium.
Mayor Spano asked how members of the community are engaged in the hiring process in relation
to diversifying our city work force. Chief Harcey stated that these community members typically
are from the Police Advisory Commission, Human Rights Commission and the Multicultural
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
Advisory Committee or neighborhood leaders. Mayor Spano asked if there were opportunities for
other residents to participate. Chief Harcey stated yes, adding that the police have utilized
commissioners in recent years since they have an interest in serving the city. Mayor Spano also
stated his concerns on the hiring standards related to people who may have financial issues, noting
that this does not mean they cannot serve well as a police officer. He asked if the force can look
further into this in order to not lose good candidates.
Mayor Spano asked if the police have any training on the ethical implications of the use of force.
Sergeant Barnes stated that police officers are trained to respect people and to be stewards of the
profession. He stated that if they routinely use force, they will not have legitimacy in the
community. He added that there is nothing to gain from using more force than is necessary. He
added this is a topic that is fully discussed with the officers. Mayor Spano asked if they teach about
the ethics of force or if that is more a cultural part of the community. Chief Harcey stated that it is
taught as part of POST course work curriculum, and it is also discussed in training.
Councilmember Sanger asked if they would discuss the impacts on police professionalism when
they must deal with a person who does not speak English. Chief Harcey stated that they have
interpreters and also utilize family members when possible. He noted that it can be challenging,
but they can overcome it.
Councilmember Mavity asked what the most challenging part of the training is. Chief Harcey
stated that getting the right people as trainers, structuring of the training, and devoting enough time
to training scenarios can be challenging.
Councilmember Brausen stated he appreciates the focus on the community oriented model and
doing outreach. He added that he hopes the force will keep doing the neighborhood meetings in
the future, noting this is a good opportunity for the community to engage with police officers.
Councilmember Miller asked what the city and council can do, aside from compensation, to assure
the force continues to recruit and retain the best officers. Chief Harcey stated that the city has been
very good at helping the force be innovative in the hiring process. He added that they have been
able to offer competitive wages and tuition reimbursement, along with original ideas such as
Pathways to Policing. Ongoing support from city leaders and having the trust of city elected
officials has also been a great encouragement.
Mayor Spano asked about training related to warrior mentality and if the city analyzes the various
training programs the police force is sent to. Chief Harcey stated yes, they evaluate each training
program and typically look for courses that teach how to de-escalate situations. Mayor Spano
stated he is excited about the Pathways to Policing program and hopes it will continue.
Councilmember Mavity stated this session was very helpful, and she is looking forward to the rest
of the sessions. She added that she does want to listen to community concerns and have a
community conversation, as well. She noted that it is important to reflect on community feedback
but is not sure what process could be used to collect the feedback.
Mr. Harmening asked also what format a community conversation on this topic would take and
what success would look like.

Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
Councilmember Mavity stated that the goal is that it would be a listening session. She was not sure
how it would be facilitated - maybe the global café model. However, she added that we need to
listen to our community and not just talk at them.
Councilmember Brausen recommended that this be revisited at the end of the four sessions and
then get feedback and recommendations.
Councilmember Sanger added that another model that could be used is a panel discussion with
police officers and questions from the audience at the end, similar to one conducted a few years
back with Somali Americans living within the city. She noted that this model was very useful and
informative.
Councilmember Miller stated the importance of one-on-one meetings with the police and that
personal connections can make a difference, also. Chief Harcey agreed, adding that the force has
found this to be very valuable and has had a number of these one-on-one meetings.
Mr. Harmening noted that later this week, several of the commissions, schools, industry, and police
will be gathering to discuss working together and the commonalities between these groups. He
stated that he will ask this group what model would be most helpful and useful for back and forth
communication between the police force and the community.
4. Fastpitch Softball Facility Update
Ms. Walsh presented the update. She noted that at this time the school district was able to commit
to a field configuration with one fenced and two unfenced fields at the Middle School site. The St.
Louis Park Fastpitch Association has indicated that they would like at least 2 fenced fields at one
location. She added that Aquila Park Option 1B (included in the staff report) would be the most
cost-effective way to get an additional fastpitch field and continue to provide a tournament option
for the association. As a backup, staff has been working with the consultant to explore the cost and
impacts of this possibility. This option involves taking one adult softball field at Aquila and
converting it into a designated fastpitch field. Ms. Walsh pointed out that with Option 1A, the
entire site would need to be re-graded for an additional $2 million. With Option 1B, a partial re-
grade to field #1 and field #4 would be done.
Councilmember Miller stated that he did not want to revisit this issue and that the council should
get this done now, re-grading the fields and getting this property set up for the future.
Councilmember Sanger stated that for clarity, she would like a list of what all of the options and
the associated costs are now with the fields. She added that she does not feel equipped to make a
good decision tonight, especially since there are no cost comparisons on the grading estimates. She
inquired if the girls’ fastpitch teams could play on temporary fenced fields.
Councilmember Mavity stated that the council needs more information to guide a decision. She
asked if Aquila field is the preference now, and if Dakota field is no longer part of the discussion.
Ms. Burns stated that from the Fastpitch Association’s perspective, Aquila is the field preference
now.
Councilmember Brausen added that he would like to hear from the Park and Recreation Advisory
Commission on it. He added that this is a big investment of our community resources, and with
100-150 participants, plus hosting tournaments, it seems that the city is building it for other
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 8
Title: Study Session Minutes of August 14, 2017
communities, who come to play here for tournaments. The cost comes to about $4,600 per player,
and he is not sure the city has the resources for it. He stated he would like to explore further options
on this issue.
Councilmember Mavity noted that this is long-term investment and the city would not be investing
the same amount year after year.
Councilmember Lindberg added that council needs to make sure they know the goal and then make
recommendations to staff. He stated community participation is essential in making this type of
infrastructure investment, adding that the council needs to look at the impacts of this project at
Aquila as it relates to the adjacent neighborhood.
Ms. Walsh stated she will bring back revised cost estimates to the council for Option 1B and
revised numbers for the flip with a half pinwheel and re-grade of the entire site. She further noted
that she will get a recommendation from the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission before
coming back to council.
Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal)
Mr. Harmening suggested January 18 and 19, 2018, as council retreat dates.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that he and Councilmembers Sanger and Mavity attended the Fringe
Festival play last week, featuring a former St. Louis Park councilmember.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

Sanger.
Councilmembers absent: Mayor Jake Spano and Gregg Lindberg.

1. Campaign Contribution Limits
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger requested a summary on this topic.
Mr. Harmening stated that the City Charter limits campaign contributions to $250 per year, and
State Statute limits campaign contributions to $600 in an election year. After several questions
from candidates to staff on this issue, the city attorney was asked to provide a legal opinion on
which provision should govern.
Mr. Mattick explained after thorough review of the language in statute, his opinion is that the
statute governs in this specific instance, and a candidate may accept contributions up to $600 in an
election year. He stated the legislature increased the contribution limits in 2014 and it is clear that
there was intent to make sure this provision of statute would supersede home rule charter
provisions related specifically to campaign contribution limits.
Councilmember Hallfin asked what the information in the candidate filing packet said regarding
campaign contributions. Ms. Kennedy stated each candidate receives a copy of the Charter
provision which limits individual contributions to $250 per year. The reporting form, produced by
the secretary of state’s office, contains the language from statute which limits individual campaign
contributions to $600 in an election year.
Mayor Pro Tem Sanger stated although she understood the reasoning behind Mr. Mattick’s legal
opinion, she was not happy about the fact that the statute challenged local control and cities were
not made aware of it. She stated her larger concern related to why cities were not asked for
comment when this changed at the state level.
Councilmember Brausen noted that this change was made in statute in 2014, and Governor Dayton
signed it into law at that time.
Mr. Mattick stated that he did look back at the updates that were provided by the League of
Minnesota Cities after the 2014 legislative session and there was no information related to this
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of August 21, 2017
particular statute. He noted it is not uncommon for pieces of legislation to be included in larger
bills and this may have been passed without much attention because a majority of the cities in the
state simply follow the contribution limits outlined in state law. He added it is somewhat
uncommon for a charter city to establish specific contribution limits in a charter provision.
Councilmember Mavity noted that she had to return money to a donor because she thought the
limit was $250.
Ms. Kennedy apologized for the confusion and stated staff notified candidates once the
determination was made that the statutory limit should govern.
Mr. Mattick noted an amendment to this particular Charter provision would be recommended.
Councilmember Brausen stated the council may want to add this topic to the list of priorities for
the city’s lobbyist.
Councilmember Mavity stated this would be a low priority item given the long list of topics the
council typically asks their lobbyist to focus on during a legislative session.
The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Construction Management Firm for the Westwood Hills Nature Center Project
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve entering into an agreement with RJM
Construction to provide construction management services for the Westwood Hills Nature
Center’s Interpretive Center Building project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue to take measures that will
eventually allow for the construction of a new interpretive center and other improvements at the
Westwood Hills Nature Center?
SUMMARY: On June 19, 2017 the City Council approved HGA as the architectural firm for the
Nature Center project. As has been the practice for other large City building projects (e.g. Fire
Stations 1 and 2 and the ROC) the use of a construction management firm is recommended to be
employed. By using this approach the City serves as the general contractor and the construction
management firm oversees and coordinates the construction of the project on behalf of the City.
Staff solicited proposals from construction management firms and, after a thorough vetting and
interview process, recommends RJM Construction as the construction management firm.
Commissioner Foulkes served on the interview panel. RJM Construction is a Minnesota-based
company who has been providing general contracting services since 1981. RJM was selected
because of their vast experience in construction management. RJM served as the City’s
construction management firm for the ROC and did a great job.
On August 23, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) took formal action to
unanimously recommend that the City Council select RJM as the construction management firm
for the project.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The total not to exceed contract amount is
$522,000. This amount includes all services from pre-construction activities thru project
completion and closeout. The cost for a construction management firm was assumed in the overall
project budget.
NEXT STEPS: Staff will provide the City Council an update periodically in the process and at
the completion of each step below to check in and affirm direction to move to the next step:
1. 2017 & 2018: Public input, schematic and design development
2. Early October 2018: Construction Documents
3. 2019 – 2020: Construction with completion in 2020
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community. St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental stewardship.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Approval of Special Law Related to the Elmwood TIF District
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving 2017 Minnesota Laws,
Chapter 1, Article 6, Section 21 (“Special Law”) relating to the Elmwood Tax Increment Financing
District.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: This action is consistent with the 2017 Legislative Priorities set
by the City Council.
SUMMARY: In 2009 the city successfully lobbied to obtain a special law in consideration of the
economic downturn which extended the term of the Elmwood Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
District to help fund redevelopment efforts and infrastructure improvements within the District
(i.e. construction of the Highway 7 & Wooddale interchange and Wooddale Ave street
improvements). However, that special law was unclear as to whether the EDA had the legal
authority to allocate the District’s tax increment to fund infrastructure expenses through the entire
extended term of the District. One of the Council’s highest 2017 Legislative Priorities was to seek
a technical clarification to address this issue. During the last legislative session, the city worked
with its legislators to successfully obtain 2017 Minnesota Laws, Chapter 1, Article 6, Section 21
(“Special Law”) which increased the legal pooling allowance within the District from 20% to 30%
through the term of the District. This modification will enable the Elmwood TIF District to help
fund adaptations to the Wooddale Avenue Bridge, reconstruction of Wooddale Avenue and 36th
Street, and improvements to the Wooddale Ave/36th Street intersection.
In order for the recently enacted Special Law to become effective, the City Council must adopt a
resolution finding it to be in the best interest of the city and approving a minor modification to the
TIF Plan. The county and school district must also individually approve the Special Law and
appropriate paperwork must be filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State for the law to take
effect.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Approving this Special Law will allow tax
increment from the Elmwood TIF District to fund an estimated $6.3 million in public infrastructure
improvements in and adjacent to the District as identified within the city’s Capital Improvement
Program.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

omissions and those of its officials, employees, representatives and agents
in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, whether those acts or omissions
occur within or outside of the jurisdiction or geographic limits of the City
of Minneapolis, and the results thereof to the extent authorized by law and
shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the other Party and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution of support for the updated Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District (MCWD) Watershed Management Plan (WMP).
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council have questions or concerns regarding the
Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan?
SUMMARY: The MCWD is close to completing its 10-year update of their Watershed
Management Plan. As part of the completion and approval of the plan, city staff recommends
adopting a resolution of support of the revised plan.
The Draft Local Watershed Management Plan- (597 pages) is available online at:
http://www.minnehahacreek.org/sites/minnehahacreek.org/files/MCWD%20Draft%20Watershed
%20Management%20Plan%207-7-17.pdf
Sections of the plan to note:
•Information regarding the Minnehaha Creek Subwatershed is on pages 446-483
•Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) List is on pages 469-483
At last week’s study session a question was raised as to why City projects like the Bass Lake basin
improvements are not included in the plan. In short, the capital projects in the MCWD’s plan are
those that they are initiating and taking the lead on and are more directly associated with the creek
itself. An example would be the creek improvements recently completed near Meadowbrook
Manor. However, that doesn’t mean the MCWD won’t support at least technically those projects
the City initiates that will have a positive impact on the creek.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: One of the components of the WMP is the
Capital Improvements that the MCWD has identified to undertake as an agency. The Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) included in the WMP does show the city as a potential funding partner;
however, no set amounts are included in the WMP. As capital projects are refined, the MCWD
may formally request financial support.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in environmental
stewardship. We will increase environmental consciousness and responsibility in all areas of city
business.

Title: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has revised its Watershed
Management Plan pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §103B.231 and Minnesota Rules 8410. The
Watershed Management Plan describes how the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District will fulfill
its responsibilities under the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, the ten-year planning
period of 2017-2026.
As a political subdivision created under state law, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District exists
to pursue water resource management purposes set forth in Minnesota Statute. The listed purposes
are many, but may be summarized as securing the benefits associated with the proper management
of surface and ground water.
The MCWD believes that clean water and a healthy natural environment are essential to create and
sustain vibrant communities. The lakes, streams, wetlands, and green space that make up our
landscape create a sense of place that provides a local identity, adds economic value, and increases
well-being.
The Draft Watershed Management Plan has been developed in coordination with a Policy
Advisory Committee, Technical Advisory Committee, and Citizens Advisory Committee which
met regularly throughout 2015-2016 to provide input on the proposed Watershed Management
Plan framework. City staff participated in the development of the Draft Watershed Management
Plan through its Technical Advisory Committee and sub-watershed meetings.
The city is a founding partner in development of an integrated planning and implementation
framework, the Balanced Urban Ecology approach, and has worked with the District to implement
numerous impactful partnership projects along the Minnehaha Creek Greenway, including projects
at the Minnehaha Preserve, Methodist Hospital, and Japs-Olson.
The city would like to express support for the District’s Draft Watershed Management Plan and
its approach of partnership and integrated planning, focused implementation, and responsiveness
to opportunities and the St. Louis Park will continue coordination of its policies, plans, and
investments with the District to maximize public benefit.
One of the components of the WMP is the Capital Improvements that the MCWD has identified
to undertake as an agency. The capital improvements that they will be doing that most directly
relate to the city are:
•Flood Damage Repairs; Cost: $920,000; Schedule: 2017-2018
•Minnehaha Creek Greenway Expansion; Cost: $950,000; Schedule: 2020-2021
•325 Blake Road Regional Stormwater and Greenway; Cost: $2,750,000; Schedule: 2018-2019
•Meadowbrook Golf Course Ecological Restoration; Cost: $2,200,000; Schedule: 2018-2019
•Greenway to Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail and Streambank Restoration; Cost: $510,000;
Schedule: 2019-2020
•Boone-Aquila Floodplain restoration and stormwater management project; Cost: $500,000;
Schedule: 2019-2020
•Stormwater Volume and Pollutant Load Reduction; Cost: $2,450,000 ; Schedule: 2018-2027
•Channel and Streambank Restoration; Cost: $3,120,000; Schedule: 2018-2027

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This watershed management plan (“Plan”) has been prepared pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes §103B.231 and Minnesota Rules 8410. It describes how
the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (District or MCWD) will fulfill its
responsibilities under the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act
(Minnesota Statutes §§103B.201 to 103B.255) over the ten-year planning
period of 2017-26.
The Plan consists of three volumes:
The first volume is this Executive Summary. This volume briefly reviews the
purpose, structure, and history of the MCWD; its philosophy and approach
to fulfilling its water resource management responsibilities; the primary
issues within its eleven subwatersheds; the programs and projects by which
it will address these issues; and what it will ask of its cities and townships in
order to achieve the water resource goals for the watershed.
The second volume is the Land and Natural Resources Inventory. MN
Rules 8410 requires the Plan to inventory watershed data on topography,
soils, geology, precipitation, surface water resources, water quality and
quantity trends, groundwater resources, hydraulic systems to convey
stormwater, regulated pollutant sources, habitat, rare and endangered
species, recreation areas, existing land uses and trends, and wetland
preservation and restoration priority areas. The MCWD has substantial data
from many years of careful monitoring and data acquisition. In this volume,
the District provides a description of its data, reference to data locations,
and a discussion of the data supporting the MCWD’s identified water
resource issues, goals, and strategies.
In addition, this volume describes the MCWD’s Ecosystem Evaluation
Program, or “E-Grade,” a rubric that uses multiple parameters to characterize
the health and function of the watershed. The purpose of E-Grade is to
capture the condition of resources within the watershed in a way that is
useful to the public and provides a uniform metric to set priorities and make
resource investment decisions.
The third volume is the Implementation Plan. This volume is the roadmap
that guides District action from planning to implementation. More
specifically, it describes the planning path from issue identification to
identifying the causes of issues, setting objectives and goals and, finally,
defining management strategies to achieve identified goals. Objectives
and management strategies rest on the MCWD’s Balanced Urban Ecology
approach to water resource planning and implementation. This approach

recognizes the environmental, social and economic value created when
built and natural systems work in harmony. It is described in this volume. The
volume also describes each of the District’s programs and the procedures
that it will use to identify, fund, and implement them.
Finally, the Implementation Plan features a subsection for each of the
MCWD’s eleven subwatersheds. Each subwatershed plan follows the same
sequence outlined above - from issues to identification of causes, objectives
and goals, and management strategies. The implementation program for
each subwatershed will identify specific, known projects and initiatives
but also provide flexibility for future unknown projects and initiatives
to arise through planning, collaborative processes, and opportunities.
Subwatershed plans are intended to be largely self-standing so they are
useful resources for Local Government Units (LGUs) and other stakeholders
within a given subwatershed.
1.2 MCWD OVERVIEW
1.2.1 MCWD PURPOSE
The MCWD believes that clean water and a healthy natural environment
are essential to create and sustain vibrant communities. The lakes, streams,
wetlands, and green space that make up our landscape create a sense of
place that provides a local identity, adds economic value, and increases
well-being.
As a political subdivision created under state law, the MCWD exists to
pursue water resource management purposes set forth at Minnesota
Statutes §§103B.201 and 103D.201. The listed purposes are many, but may
be summarized as “secur[ing] the … benefits associated with the proper
management of surface and ground water.” Minn. Stat. §103B.201(8).
The MCWD assumes a further mandate for water resource protection as
a permittee under the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) program for municipal separate storm sewer systems
(MS4s).
Traditionally, the MCWD has pursued its purposes through several
standard roles: gathering and assessing data; planning, constructing, and
maintaining capital projects; regulating land use disturbances to limit water
resource impacts; supporting others’ actions through grant or cost-share
programs and technical assistance; conducting non-capital programs such
as rough fish management and lake treatment for invasive aquatic species;
and engaging in public communication and education.
The MCWD’s
approach to water
resource planning
recognizes the
environmental, social,
and economic value
created when built and
natural systems work in
harmony.”

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
In general, these remain the means by which the MCWD acts. This planning
cycle, however, reflects an evolution from an independent program of
action toward one that derives from a more careful and active consideration
of the MCWD’s role and the roles of other public and private interests in the
realm of water resource protection. As such, the MCWD sees its purposes not
only as securing water resource benefits for the public, but also facilitating
similar efforts by others.
The MCWD’s particular role includes, then:
»Acquiring, assessing, and maintaining watershed-wide water
resource data.
»Performing special studies, and developing assessments and metrics,
to provide for consistent resource evaluation and priority-setting
across the watershed.
»Linking local units of government to statewide water programs,
mandates, and funding.
»Leading or facilitating multi-partner water resource actions that cross
local government boundaries within the watershed.
»Serving as a conduit of best practices and other specialized knowledge
and resources to its general purpose units of government.
»Coordinating with local units of government to integrate water
resource protection at site and regional scales into land subdivision
and development.
»Working with public and private partners to integrate water resource
goals with other public and private goals in land and infrastructure
development.
Clean water and a healthy natural
environment are essential
to create and sustain vibrant
communities. The lakes, streams,
wetlands and green space that
make up our landscape create a
sense of place that provides a local
identity, adds economic value and
increases well-being.DRAFTCity Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 4e)

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
1.2.2 DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
The MCWD encompasses about 177 square miles within the western Twin
Cities metropolitan area. Of this area, about 148 square miles lie within
Hennepin County and about 29 square miles lie within Carver County.
The watershed comprises two distinct hydrologic basins. The “Upper
Watershed” drains through 104 square miles of rural and suburban land to
Lake Minnetonka, a 22 square-mile lake that is the tenth largest, and one
of the most heavily recreated, waterbodies in Minnesota. Lake Minnetonka
outlets through a dam controlled by the MCWD into Minnehaha Creek,
which flows for roughly 23 miles and discharges into the Mississippi River
in Minneapolis. About 52 square miles, constituting the “Lower Watershed,”
drain into Minnehaha Creek through the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes or
directly by means of stormsewer or overland flow.
Twenty-seven cities and two townships lie in whole or part within the
watershed as shown in Figure 1.1. Table 1.1 lists the MCWD’s cities and
townships. Two regional park authorities exist within the MCWD: the
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, and the Three Rivers Park District.
1.2.3 ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
On April 12, 1966, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners petitioned
the Minnesota Water Resources Board under authority of Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 112 (now 103D) to establish the MCWD. The cited
purposes for the MCWD were to conserve the watershed’s waters and
natural resources; improve lakes, marshes, and channels for water storage,
drainage, recreation, and other public purposes; reduce flooding; keep silt
from streams; control land erosion; reclaim wetlands; control stormwater;
and preserve water quality in lakes and streams. The MCWD was established
on March 9, 1967.
Since that time, the MCWD has implemented numerous policies,
programs, and projects to advance its goals. It first adopted rules to
regulate development in 1967. Since that time, it has exercised oversight
of development to limit water resource impacts from erosion, stormwater
flows, floodplain alteration, wetland disturbance, shoreline and streambank
alterations, dredging, and other causes. In 1972, the MCWD accepted
authority over eight county and judicial drainage systems located within
the watershed. The MCWD developed watershed management plans in
1969, 1997, and 2007. This Plan represents the MCWD’s fourth cycle of water
resource planning and implementation.
The MCWD’s 1997 plan featured a traditional emphasis on identified capital
projects to address legacy water quality or flooding issues and, separately,
regulation of new development to minimize new impacts. The 2007 plan
began to move toward a more flexible framework with water quality

SUMMARY
standards set for the MCWD’s lakes and streams and targets set for the
reduction of phosphorus loads to identified receiving waters in each of
the MCWD’s subwatersheds. The MCWD assumed responsibility for a part
of these reductions and assigned a portion to its LGUs, requiring that local
water plans identify how the LGUs would achieve their assigned reductions
through activities such as managing their properties, performing street
sweeping, and implementing capital projects.
The plan, though, was static in several respects. It identified a specific list
of MCWD projects, it directed LGUs to independently act, and it separated
capital project work from regulation of development. As the MCWD
implemented the plan, however, the approach evolved to a more flexible
framework in which its LGUs, developers and other public and private
parties have become partners in opportunity-based work that serves
multiple goals. In 2014, the MCWD Board of Managers articulated and

SUMMARY
adopted this approach as its Balanced Urban Ecology policy. The policy
prioritizes partnership with the land use community to integrate policy,
planning, and implementation in order to leverage the value created when
built and natural systems are in harmony.
The Balanced Urban Ecology policy emerged in 2014 as the MCWD
reflected on its collaborative work along the urbanized Minnehaha Creek
corridor within the Cities of St. Louis Park and Hopkins, now referred to as
the Minnehaha Creek Greenway. There, over the course of several years, the
MCWD worked with public and private partners - including a hospital, a
large industrial employer, property owners, and the Cities of Hopkins and
St. Louis Park - in a succession of projects to achieve mutual goals. This
concerted effort resulted in one of the largest stream restorations in the
Twin Cities metropolitan area.
The hospital created a healing environment through connection with a
restored natural setting and enhanced flood protection for a sensitive
part of its facilities. The industrial employer gained real estate, stormwater
management, and local land use approval for a large expansion.
An apartment complex property owner achieved trail access for its
residents, while a commercial property owner was connected to city storm
sewer improvements to address site flooding. The City of Hopkins turned
a hidden, troubled pocket park into an open community space; gained
regional stormwater treatment for redevelopment; and positioned a 17-
acre industrial site for a shift in use consistent with the area redevelopment
plan. The City of St. Louis Park gained natural and recreational amenities,
connected residents to transit, and expanded its tax and employment base.
For the MCWD, outcomes of this partnered work included restoration of
a substantial length of creek sinuosity, riparian wetland, and floodplain;
treatment of runoff from several hundred fully-developed acres of urban
land that previously discharged untreated to the creek; and the creation
of both passive and active recreational sites connected to the water
environment and integrated with public education about the natural
environment. Furthermore, the public cost of the stormwater infrastructure
work was reduced by working with Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services to align public investments and incorporate the water resource
improvement into concurrent sanitary sewer construction.
The MCWD realized that if it builds sound relationships with local partners;
remains aware of partners’ land use activities and goals; is mindful of
subwatershed priorities; and is watchful and flexible, opportunities will
present themselves to advance water resource goals cost-effectively and DRAFTCity Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 4e)

consistent with other local public and private goals. This Plan takes the next
step in the evolution of the MCWD’s philosophy and approach by adopting
the Balanced Urban Ecology policy as its underlying organizational strategy.
1.3 MCWD APPROACH
1.3.1 DISTRICT PHILOSOPHY
The natural environment is an integral component of vibrant communities.
It creates a sense of place, provides vital connections, and enhances social
and economic value. The MCWD vision is a landscape of vibrant communities
where the natural and built environments in balance create value and
enjoyment.
This vision stems from the MCWD’s 2014 adoption of the Balanced Urban
Ecology policy, which now serves as the MCWD’s underlying organizational
strategy. It prioritizes partnership with the land use community to integrate
policy, planning and implementation. The Balanced Urban Ecology policy
developed from a series of policy analyses that identified the governance
gap between land use and water resource planning. It responded to state,
county, and non-profit assessments calling for increased integration of
water resource planning and land use planning to improve the watershed
management model in Minnesota and for treating land development
and water resource protection as complementary rather than competing
interests.
The Balanced Urban Ecology policy states:
Rather than viewing the natural and built environments as a clash of opposing
forces, we recognize the inter-related and inter-dependent character of modern
life; communities cannot thrive without healthy natural areas, and healthy
natural areas become irrelevant without the interplay of human activity. This
is the integrated setting in which we live... Indeed, our quality of life and our
economic wellbeing are inextricably linked.
Successful, sustainable, livable communities are built on a foundation of
integrated planning – planning that recognizes communities as living
organisms and takes into consideration all components of the urban ecology.
Our work will be strengthened through these collaborative efforts. Not only
will they offer greater community impact, they will produce creative public-
private funding opportunities that will leverage scarce resources and maximize
benefits. Going it alone is no longer the best path forward.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The Balanced Urban Ecology policy rests on the following three principles:
»Intensifying and maintaining focus on high-priority projects.
»Partnering with others to pursue watershed management goals.
»Being flexible and creative in adapting to the needs of partners.
Too often, watershed district ten-year implementation plans have been
pursued independent of community planning and, as a result, have not
been aligned with land use changes, new public infrastructure, and private
development. This has led to isolated public expenditures to address
existing systemic problems and an over-reliance on regulation to limit
impacts from new development. The opportunity to partner with other
public and private actors to achieve better water resource outcomes and
increased public value has been missed. By working to understand the
goals of others; applying sound science to creative solutions; and aligning
investments, technical expertise, streamlined permitting, collaborative
planning, and educational resources, the MCWD will seek to bring added
value to partner initiatives across the watershed and cost-effectively achieve
complementary public and private goals.
1.3.2 DISTRICT GOALS
The District has established four strategic goals to focus and guide its work:
»Water Quantity - To manage the volume and flow of stormwater
runoff to minimize the impacts of land use change on surface and
groundwater.
»Water Quality - To preserve and improve the quality of surface and
groundwater.
»Ecological Integrity - To restore, maintain, and improve the health of
ecological systems.
»Thriving Communities - To promote and enhance the value of water
resources in creating successful, sustainable communities.
For purposes of Plan organization, all MCWD water resource issues nest
within the three strategic goal areas of Water Quality, Water Quantity and
Ecological Integrity. Example issues include excess nutrients (water quality),
flooding (water quantity), and degraded habitat (ecological integrity). No
issues are outlined under the Thriving Communities goal. This goal is an
overarching organizing element to guide the MCWD in implementing its
mission: the MCWD will implement its clean water objectives in ways that
meaningfully contribute to the development of thriving communities.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
1.3.3 IMPLEMENTATION MODEL
The Balanced Urban Ecology policy requires awareness, adaptation, and the
capacity to pursue opportunities as they arise. The implementation model
to support this approach is ongoing and iterative, but can be simplified into
four basic steps:
Understanding Resource Needs
The first element is to understand water resource needs on a subwatershed
basis. Each subwatershed plan within this Plan follows an issues, drivers, and
strategies sequence. Issues are the specific needs to be addressed - where
conditions fall short of strategic goals for the subwatershed. Drivers are the
causes or contributing factors of these issues. Strategies are the means by
which the issues may be addressed. Strategies are not defined programs
or projects, but rather the different modes of action, approaches, and
techniques that the MCWD may use within a described area to achieve a
desired water quantity, water quality, or ecological integrity outcome.
Understanding Land Use Plans and Opportunities
The second element is to understand the land use setting. The MCWD
maintains current knowledge of land use and capital planning by its LGUs
and of potential land use development and redevelopment activity. Under
this Plan, the MCWD will establish with each LGU a coordination protocol so
that the MCWD and the LGU are aware of each other’s planning activities, of
pending development activity, and of applications received for regulatory
review.
Integration and Prioritization
The third element is prioritization. By means of diagnostic data-gathering,
the MCWD forms and adjusts implementation priorities to achieve MCWD
goals on a subwatershed and watershed-wide basis. At the same time, the
MCWD integrates its water resource priorities with the current land use
context to look for the intersection of MCWD and partner interests, develop
feasible and cost-effective project concepts, and initiate project planning
and coordination with public and private partners.
Implementation
The last element is implementation. This involves formalizing public and
private partner agreements that identify project roles and responsibilities,
arranging necessary land rights, following required procedures to establish
project funding and financing, and moving forward to implement. A project
may involve capital construction or may involve one or more other modes
of MCWD action including data collection/diagnosis, technical or planning
assistance, permitting assistance, facilitation, and grants. After project

SUMMARY
completion, the MCWD assesses project performance with respect to
desired outcomes of the MCWD and partners.
1.4 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN SUMMARY
1.4.1 PRIMARY ISSUES
Water Quality
Within the watershed, pollutant discharge is primarily from non-point
sources, carried to lakes, streams and wetlands by snowmelt or rainfall that
runs across the landscape. Sediment, nutrient (particularly phosphorus),
and other pollutant load in runoff exceeds what lakes, streams and wetlands
would receive in an undeveloped watershed.
Within freshwater systems, excess nutrient content promoting
eutrophication is the most common problem. Phosphorus affects algal and
plant productivity, water clarity, fish habitat and aesthetics. Other pollutants
stress freshwater systems, but phosphorus is used as standard indicator of
system health.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) define acceptable water quality as
that which supports the designated use of the waterbody (e.g. fishable,
swimmable, drinkable). The Plan defines good water quality as when the
physical, chemical, biological and aesthetic characteristics of a waterbody
support its designated use. Because water quality is largely regulated by
total phosphorus concentration, the water quality emphasis of this Plan is
on reducing phosphorus loads to lakes to achieve standards set by the state.
Water Quantity
As land use alters a watershed, the flow of water across the landscape
changes. In an undeveloped watershed, rainfall largely infiltrates into the
ground. As the watershed begins to include built components, channels
are straightened, wetlands are filled, drainageways are piped, natural
vegetation is removed, and hard surface is installed. These alterations
reduce water infiltration and storage. As a result, larger volumes of water
drain through the system faster.
Flooding occurs when a watershed is overwhelmed with rainfall that cannot
infiltrate into the ground or be appropriately stored on the landscape.
Flooding can occur across a watershed on major lakes and streams or more
locally in ponds and street systems that cannot adequately store or convey
the water being received during and after storm events.
Water quantity can also be an issue when there is not enough water. Heavy rains flooded Lake Hiawatha in 2014

Title: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Page 25
26 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Water is essential for aquatic life and the health of aquatic systems. In an
undeveloped watershed condition, water is stored in wetlands or infiltrated
into the ground. It is slowly released to the stream channel, promoting
long periods of stable water flow. In urban watersheds with extensive hard
surface, water moves through the system quickly after rainfall events. This
results in intermittent channel flow and periods where the channel is dry.
This “flashy” stream behavior directly affects the ecological health of the
stream, stressing fish, macroinvertebrates, plants, and other aquatic life.
The Plan focuses on water quantity issues that stress the regional system.
The MCWD will work with its partners to plan and implement solutions that
return surface flow behavior as much as possible to natural behavior and
that create a more resilient system to handle high and low flow behavior.
Ecological Integrity
The three primary elements of an ecological system are its structure,
composition, and function. Structure is all of the living and non-living
physical components that make up an ecosystem. Composition is the
variety of living things within the ecosystem. Function is the assemblage of
natural processes that occur within the ecosystem.
Ecological integrity exists when ecosystem composition and function are
unimpaired by stress from human activity. It exists when natural ecological
processes are intact, naturally evolving, and self-sustaining.
Within this Plan, ecological integrity seeks balance between the built and
natural environments, with ecosystems providing the highest possible
measure of structure, composition and function relative to the level of
human impact within the system. The implementation plan seeks to
improve structure, composition, and function at an individual resource level
and connectivity between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems at a regional
landscape scale.
1.4.2 IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES
One of the guiding principles of the District’s Balanced Urban Ecology
policy is “intensifying and maintaining focus on high-priority projects”.
Through its work in the Minnehaha Creek Greenway, the District has found
that it can more effectively achieve its mandate to manage and improve
water resources, not when it seeks to apply its resources evenly across
the watershed at all times, but rather when it coordinates its programs
and capital investments so as to focus on specific areas of high need and
opportunity.
Through sustained focus, the District is able to develop a thorough

27COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
understanding of a system’s issues and drivers, build relationships, identify
opportunities, and coordinate plans and investments with its partners for
maximum natural resource and community benefit.
This focused approach is best suited in areas where there are significant
resource needs and a level of complexity that require sustained effort and
coordination across multiple public and private partners. The other factors
that drive the District to focus in a particular geography are the opportunities
that exist, such as land use changes, partner efforts, or funding sources.
The District has identified three priority subwatersheds in which to focus its
implementation efforts for the 2017-26 plan cycle – Minnehaha Creek, Six
Mile-Halsted Bay, and Painter Creek. These three subwatersheds have been
prioritized based on a combination of resource needs and opportunities, as
summarized in the following sections.
The District’s efforts in these priority areas will benefit some of the Twin Cities’
most valued resources. The work in the Minnehaha Creek subwatershed will
improve both the Creek and Lake Hiawatha of the Minneapolis Chain of
Lakes. The focus on the Six Mile and Painter Creek subwatersheds is part
of the District’s strategy for protecting and improving Lake Minnetonka
by addressing its most degraded bays – Halsted and Jennings – through
upstream and in-lake efforts.
Minnehaha Creek
As described in Section 1.2.3, the District’s focused approach originated
in the Minnehaha Creek Greenway and has produced significant natural
resource and community benefits.
The Board identified this section of the Creek through Hopkins and St. Louis
Park as a priority focus area because of its resource needs – Minnehaha Creek
and downstream Lake Hiawatha are impaired and this stretch of creek was
identified as contributing the highest pollutant loads; and its opportunities
– the area is undergoing significant land use planning and redevelopment
due to the planned light rail transit system.
The District will continue its efforts in the Minnehaha Creek subwatershed
under this Plan, completing projects that are underway in the Greenway
and extending its stream restoration and stormwater management work
downstream through partnerships with the cities of Edina and Minneapolis
and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
communities, two counties, and a significant portion of Three Rivers Park
District land. It is resource-rich with 17 lakes Halsted Bay of Lake Minnetonka,
and over 6,000 acres of wetlands. Six of these lakes are classified as impaired
under Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards with Halsted Bay
requiring the largest load reduction of any waterbody in the District. The
subwatershed is experiencing significant growth and development activity
that creates opportunities, and an urgency, for integrated land use and
water resource planning.
In 2016, the District formed the Six Mile-Halsted Bay Subwatershed
Partnership to coordinate implementation activities with the communities
and other subwatershed partners. From 2016-2017, the Subwatershed
Partnership has established shared priorities for the geography and a
framework for ongoing coordination to realize its goals around clean water
and abundant natural resources integrated with the built environment.
The principal implementation strategies within the Six Mile-Halsted Bay
subwatershed include carp management to restore lake ecology, restoration
of degraded wetlands, and the use of aluminum sulfate, or alum, to address
internal phosphorus release. Given the geography’s scale and complexity,
priority implementation activities will be established in coordination with
the Subwatershed Partnership on an ongoing basis based on an individual
project’s natural resource benefit, opportunity to leverage external
investment, community support, and urgency.
Painter Creek
The Painter Creek Subwatershed contains a number of large wetlands, many
of which have been ditched or otherwise altered, that are connected by
Painter Creek. The system delivers high phosphorus loads to Jennings Bay
on Lake Minnetonka, which is listed as impaired and requires the second
largest load reduction in the District. Painter Creek is also impaired by excess
E. coli bacteria. The subwatershed includes areas of high quality wetland
and upland, including several regionally significant ecological areas.
The MCWD has previously established a partnership with the United States
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), which identified the potential restoration
of four of the major wetland marsh systems under the Federal Section 206
Program. Management strategies within the Painter Creek subwatershed
will focus on restoring wetland and stream systems in ways that reduce
nutrient loading downstream to Jennings Bay, while improving ecological
integrity and corridor connectivity within the subwatershed. Before this
work is advanced, MCWD will develop a specific systems plan for this
subwatershed in partnership with local municipalities and landowners.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Watershed-wide
In addition to these focused implementation efforts, the District’s approach
watershed-wide is to remain responsive to opportunities created by land
use change or partner initiatives. The Plan creates a coordination framework
through which the District will seek to maintain current knowledge of land
use and capital planning by its LGUs, and of potential land use development
and redevelopment activity.
As opportunities arise, the District will evaluate them against the resource
needs and priorities defined in the subwatershed plans in Section 3.9
and determine the appropriate response. The District has a wide range of
services it can mobilize to address resource needs and support partner
efforts, including data collection and diagnostics, technical and planning
assistance, permitting assistance, education and capacity building, grants,
and capital projects.
The District anticipates that the most likely capital project opportunities to
arise through this approach will be in the area of stormwater management.
For this reason, the capital improvement program (CIP) includes stormwater
management projects in each subwatershed. Over the course of the 2017-
26 plan cycle, new opportunities and priorities may be identified that are
beyond the scope of this CIP in which case the District will pursue a plan
amendment.
1.4.3 RESPONSIBILITIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
After the Plan is approved or amended, each LGU within the MCWD with
land use planning and regulatory responsibility must prepare a local water
management plan, capital improvement program, and official controls as
prescribed in the Plan. An MCWD-approved local water plan is a required
element of the LGU comprehensive land use management plan mandated
by Minnesota Statutes §473.864.
This planning framework shows the link that the legislature has recognized
between land use and water resource planning. As the regional water
resource authority, the MCWD is responsible for understanding hydrologic
systems on a watershed basis. In its review of local water plans, the MCWD
seeks to engage its LGUs as partners in incorporating this basis of knowledge
and understanding into the exercise of land use planning, regulatory,
capital, infrastructure maintenance, and related local authorities.
Although the watershed planning law gives watershed districts the
authority to mandate LGU actions toward district-identified water resource
goals, the MCWD’s approach under this Plan relies to a limited extent on DRAFTCity Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 4e)
Title: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Watershed Management Plan Page 31
32 MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
mandates and much more on support for a partnership approach. Between
the water resource program capacity that LGUs have developed since the
MCWD’s 2007 plan, the capacity the MCWD has developed since that time to
discern and facilitate projects and initiatives that serve the complementary
goals of public and private interests, and the broader concept of hydrologic
function and beneficial public use reflected by the MCWD’s development
of the E-Grade program for measuring ecosystem health, the MCWD is
judging that a collaborative approach will better achieve its water resource
goals. The benefit of a local water plan that is more full with local data,
that expresses an LGU’s more careful assessment of its issues and potential
strategies, and that makes a stronger commitment to coordination, will be a
greater MCWD interest in collaboration and higher priority access to MCWD
technical and financial resources.
Targeted areas of collaboration include:
»Land use policy development and its implementation through
planning activities including long-range land use and infrastructure
plans, area-wide plans, and recreation and open-space plans.
»Capital improvement feasibility planning for public infrastructure
including roads, sewer, drinking water, and localized power
generation.
»Land use and development regulation, from initial development
feasibility through ongoing inspection and facility maintenance
functions.
»LGU operations and facility maintenance.
A chief element of the local plan is a proposed plan for LGU/MCWD
coordination. The goal of the coordination plan is to maintain mutual
awareness of needs and opportunities to foster programs and projects that:
(i) develop out of coordinated, subwatershed-based planning; (ii) reflect
the cooperation of other public and private partners; (iii) align investments;
and (iv) secure a combined set of District, LGU and partner goals. The
coordination plan provides for ongoing and periodic communications
as to land use planning, infrastructure programming, and development
regulation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Joint Powers Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the National Incident-
Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Joint Powers Agreement.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: Law enforcement agencies in Minnesota are required to report crime statistics to
the State. In turn, the State reports those statistics to the FBI. The FBI has established January 1,
2021, as the deadline by which all states must submit crime statistics in the NIBRS format. Current
crime statistics reporting has less detail than is required to be NIBRS compliant.
In 2016, the St. Louis Park Police Department was selected to participate in a grant to be one of
the first Minnesota agencies to begin utilizing the NIBRS system. The grant will be used to help
make the police department’s records management system compatible with National Incident-
Based Reporting System requirements.
To begin sending St. Louis Park Police Department data to the NIBRS system, it requires that the
city signs the attached Joint Powers Agreement and submits a council resolution to complete the
transaction. St. Louis Park civil attorneys have reviewed the Joint Powers agreement and have
given consent to enter into this agreement.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 682: Modify Parking Restrictions on W. 26th Street West of Toledo
Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing installation of “No
Parking” restrictions on the north-south curbline of the W. 26th Street stub west of Toledo Avenue
and rescind Resolution No. 15-036.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The removal of parking restrictions is allowed per the City’s
established regulatory authority.
SUMMARY: City staff has received a request to evaluate the parking restrictions on W. 26th
Street west of Toledo Avenue. Currently, there is no parking allowed on the W. 26th Street stub
west of Toledo Avenue. The parking restrictions were originally installed to accommodate
MnDOT during the Highway 100 construction. The construction has since been completed.
The Traffic Committee discussed this matter and recommends lifting restrictions on the north and
south side of the W. 26th Avenue stub west of Toledo Avenue.
The west north-south curb line of the stub would remain “no parking”. Prohibiting parking at this
location provides access for snow removal and storage as well as work required to the lighting
system.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost to remove the parking signs on the
street will be minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 683: Modify Parking Restrictions on W. 36th Street and Brunswick
Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt resolution authorizing installation of parking
restrictions on W. 36th Street and Brunswick Avenue and rescind Resolution No. 87-111.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The traffic controls are allowed per the City’s established
regulatory authority.
SUMMARY: In March, City staff received a request from the owners of the building at 3600
Alabama Avenue S to evaluate the parking restrictions on W. 36th Street west of Alabama Avenue
and Brunswick Avenue north of W. 37th Street. Currently, there are parking restrictions on parts
of W. 36th Street and Brunswick Avenue. The property owner has requested additional parking
restrictions to assist with truck deliveries to their loading dock. When vehicles are parked on the
north side of W. 36th Street, the trucks block the travel lane when waiting to get into the loading
dock. In addition, we have received feedback from the neighborhood that cars parking on the
south side of W. 36th Street near the Alabama intersection block sightlines for vehicles turning on
to W. 36th Street. Also, that cars parking on the curve create visibility issues as well.
We have reviewed the existing resolution (87-111) and determined that it is not clear what
restrictions should be in place. Therefore, in order to clear up ambiguity, and accommodate the
request from the property owners, we have proposed the following parking restrictions:
The “NO PARKING M-F 7 AM-6 PM” near the bus stop for Route 17 will remain.
“NO PARKING” on portions of the north side of W. 36th Street to assist with the
movement of trucks, deliveries and cars.
“NO PARKING” on the south side of W. 36th Street to improve the sightlines at the
Alabama intersection. This will also assist with the movement of trucks, deliveries, and
cars.
“NO PARKING” on either side of the Brunswick Avenue / W. 36th Street curve for
visibility and safety.
The Traffic Committee discussed this request and recommends these modifications
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost to remove and replace the parking
signs on the street will be minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Roitenberg Family Assisted Living Residence Private Activity Revenue Bond Refinancing
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to open the public hearing for comments and then close the
public hearing. Motion to Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Revenue Bonds for the
Benefit of Sholom Community Alliance, LLC; and Approving the Form of and Authorizing the
Execution and Delivery of the Revenue Bonds and Related Documents.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with the City’s approved policy.
SUMMARY: The City issued prior bonds (Series 2006) to refinance the acquisition, development,
construction, and equipping of a seventy-six (76) unit multifamily housing development for the benefit
of Sholom Community Alliance (the “Company”), located at 3610 Phillips Parkway. This
development is operated as an assisted living and memory care facility for seniors (the “Project”). The
Project is owned and operated by the Company and was designed and is used for rental occupancy,
primarily by elderly persons. Nursing, medical, personal care, and other health-related assisted living
services are available on a twenty-four (24) hour basis to residents of the Project.
The Company has proposed to refinance the Project through the redemption and prepayment of the
Prior Bonds and is requesting that the City issue its revenue bonds, in one or more series, as taxable
or tax-exempt obligations (the “Bonds”), in an estimated aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$12,500,000, in order to (i) refinance the Project through the redemption and prepayment of the
outstanding Prior Bonds; (ii) fund any required reserves; and (iii) pay costs of issuance of the Bonds.
On November 21st, 2016 the City approved a similar resolution, but at the end of last year the city was
told the borrower would not move forward. However, in July of this year the City was informed that
the markets had changed enough that they wanted to restart the refinancing process.
NEXT STEPS: Pending Council approval the bonds will close in the next few weeks.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Per the City’s private activity revenue bond
policy Sholom Community Alliance, LLC will pay an annual administration fee in the amount of 1/8th
of 1% (.125%) of the outstanding principal of the bonds. The City has no liability regarding repayment
of these bonds. The estimated admin fee remaining to be paid on the 2006 Bonds is $200,000, and the
refinanced bonds will pay approximately $300,000 in admin fees to the Housing Rehab Fund.

City of St. Louis Park
5005 Minnetonka Boulevard
St. Louis Park, MN 55416-2216
Re: Resolution approving the issuance of revenue bonds by the City of St. Louis Park for the benefit
of Sholom Community Alliance, LLC
Dear Tim,
In 2006 the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) issued its Revenue Refunding Bonds (Roitenberg Family
Assisted Living Residence Project), Series 2006 (the “Prior Bonds”), for the benefit of Sholom
Community Alliance, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), whose sole member
is Sholom Community Alliance, a Minnesota nonprofit corporation. The Company applied the proceeds
of the Prior Bonds to refinance the acquisition, development, construction, and equipping of a seventy-six
(76) unit multifamily housing development located at 3610 Phillips Parkway in the City, operated as an
assisted living and memory care facility for seniors (the “Project”). The Project is owned and operated by
the Company and was designed and is used for rental occupancy, primarily by elderly persons. Nursing,
medical, personal care, and other health-related assisted living services are available on a twenty-four (24)
hour basis to residents of the Project. The Company is requesting that the City issue revenue bonds, in
one or more series, as taxable or tax-exempt obligations (the “Bonds”), in the estimated maximum
principal amount of $12,500,000, to refinance the Project. Proceeds of the Bonds would also be used to
finance required reserves and pay costs of issuance of the Bonds.
The Bonds, if issued, will be considered “housing bonds” issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 462C, as amended (the “Act”). Pursuant to Section 462C.04, subdivision 2 of the Act and
Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the City Council is required to conduct
a public hearing on the issuance of the Bonds, which will be held on September 5, 2017. Following the
public hearing, the City Council will be asked to consider the enclosed resolution, which provides final
approval to the issuance of the Bonds and the execution of loan documents and related documents.
The Bonds are expected to be issued in two series: one tax exempt and the other taxable. The Bonds, if
issued, will be secured solely by the revenues derived from a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) to
be executed by the City and the Borrower and from other security provided by the Borrower. The Bonds
will not constitute a general or moral obligation of the City and will not be secured by or payable from
City Council Meeting of September 5, 2017 (Item No. 6a)
Title: Roitenberg Family Assisted Living Residence Private Activity Revenue Bond Refinancing Page 8
505627v2 JAE SA140-122
any property or assets of the City (other than the interests of the City in the Loan Agreement) and will not
be secured by any taxing power of the City. The Bonds will not be subject to any debt limitation imposed
on the City, and the issuance of the Bonds will not have any adverse impact on the credit rating of the
City, even in the event that the Borrower encounters financial difficulties with respect to the Project.
Each year the City has the ability to designate up to $10,000,000 in tax-exempt bonds as “qualified
tax-exempt obligations” (sometimes referred to as “bank-qualified bonds”) for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In order to issue bank-qualified bonds, the issuer must not expect to issue
more than $10,000,000 of bonds (other than private activity bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds)
in a calendar year. The tax-exempt series of the Bonds will not be issued as bank-qualified bonds but will
not negatively affect the bank-qualified general obligation bonds issued by the City earlier this year.
The Borrower will agree to pay the out-of-pocket expenses of the City with respect to this transaction as
well as the City’s administrative fee.
I will be attending the City Council meeting on September 5, 2017 and can answer any questions that may
arise during the meeting. Please contact me with any questions you may have prior to the City Council
meeting.
Sincerely,
Julie A. Eddington
