warm, and stated both have created a culture of accountability and accessibility within the
police force in St. Louis Park.

Deputy Chief DiLorenzo and expressed how much he will miss them both. He stated he
is grateful for their friendship and leadership. He noted how Deputy Chief DiLorenzo has
always provided great advice, humor and a sharp wit. Chief Luse has provided steady,
incredible leadership and has taught Mr. Harmening much about life, principles, and
values. He added the Chief has had a huge and lasting impact on the community, and the
city will make sure Chief Luse's legacy lives on.
City Council Meeting -2- December 19, 2016
Councilmember Sanger commented on Chief Luse's professionalism, integrity and sense
of humor, noting how this has helped generate trust within the whole community. She
stated she will miss both the Chief and Deputy Chief and wished them both well in their
retirement.
Councilmember Brausen stated he had a private meeting with both men at a celebration
the evening before and noted how both said they will miss working in St. Louis Park, and
also how proud they both are of this city. He added they have had a significant impact on
the community, and he will miss them both.
Councilmember Lindberg added the men have 74 years of combined experience and
thanked them for their leadership and strong community -oriented policing. He also
thanked them both for their service and stated the city will have big shoes to fill.
Councilmember Mavity added that both men have worked at community policing,
building relationships and connecting the community, while threading those values
throughout the city. She stated she is proud to have worked with both over the years.
Mr. Bob Gustafson, President of the St. Louis Park Rotary, thanked both men for their
service over the years. He thanked Chief Luse for his passion and support of the Rotary
and for his sense of community, giving and sharing. He stated the Chief was always there
for the Rotary, and helped to bring in speakers and to raise funds. He added that today
there are fewer than 50 cases of polio in the world because of the work of the Rotary, and
the Chief was very much a part of this work.
Ms. Julia Ross thanked both men for their commitment to the city and also to the City of
Hopkins and for their help with race and equity programs.
Chief Luse thanked everyone for their comments and thanked his wife and family for
their support. He stated that he loves the City of St. Louis Park. He added he has been
blessed to work with a great City Manager and City Council, and he has enjoyed helping
to make St. Louis Park a better place. He stated anything can happen when folks work
together and trust is built within a community. He also thanked Deputy Chief DiLorenzo
for his friendship and support over the years.
Deputy Chief DiLorenzo commented that Chief Luse has always been easy to follow, and
this has been an incredible journey. He thanked his wife and family and stated it has been
an honor and privilege to serve the City of St. Louis Park.
2b. Bicycle Friendly Community Recognition
Ms. Heiser and Mr. Iverson explained the City of St. Louis Park was awarded designation
as a "Bicycle Friendly Community". This bronze status award is a first-time recognition
for "being a connected and engaged community."
Mr. Mason and Ms. Olson, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota, presented this award to the
City Council. Mr. Mason stated that only Richfield and Edina have received this award in
the Twin Cities suburbs, so St. Louis Park is in good company. He added that the award
is about movability, sustainability and health and is also a big distinction, in light of the
city's "Connect the Park" initiative. He congratulated the council and presented a sign to
City Council Meeting -3- December 19, 2016
the Mayor. He stated that he sees a great sense of community in St. Louis Park, also
noting the city's great leadership.
Councilmember Brausen thanked Mr. Mason for presenting the city with this award and
stated the city continues to have work to do. He added this award heightens the visibility
of the efforts the city is malting, even though there may be opposition at times from
residents. He thanked the folks who have been supportive and encouraged those watching
to come forward and start supporting bicycling efforts. He added the city needs
everyone's help in this effort.
Mayor Spano added the profile of this distinction is for cities that are just beginning this
journey, adding that the city has made a commitment to this effort. He thanked Mr.
Mason and the Bicycle Alliance for the award.

8a. Conditional Use Permit — Communication Tower, City of St. Louis Park.
Resolution No. 16-161.
Mr. Pan presented the staff report. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is requested to allow
a communication tower that is 70 feet in height. The tower is needed to mount an antenna
that will collect data from water meters that the city recently installed in homes located in
the northwest portion of the city. The city is having difficulty receiving signals from
many homes in this area, and the antenna will resolve the issue. A neighborhood meeting
was conducted on November 29, 2016, and two residents attended. Staff answered
questions and also received three written comments in response to notices mailed for the
neighborhood meeting. This information is summarized in the staff report. One neighbor
attended the public hearing with questions about radio signal interference and concluded,
based on information provided by staff, that it would not be a concern. The Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on December 7, 2016, and recommends
approval of the CUP.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Lindberg, to
adopt Resolution No. 16-161, granting a Conditional Use Permit for a 70 foot tall
communication towner, subject to conditions as recommended by staff.
The motion passed 7-0.
City Council Meeting -5- December 19, 2016
8b. 2017 Budget, Final City and HRA Property Tax Levies, and 2017-2026
Capital Improvement Plan. Resolution No. 16-162, Resolution No. 16-163,
Resolution No. 16-164.
Mr. Simon presented the staff report. He stated that information pertaining to the
adoption of the 2017 Budgets, 2017 General Property Tax and HRA levies, and 2017-
2026 CIP are included in the report to the council. Information is also provided on the tax
impacts to a residential property, and a brief discussion regarding the 2017 utility rates
that were approved on October 17, 2016.
Mr. Simon thanked the council and staff for their long-range planning work. Mayor
Spano noted the long-range planning work is something the auditors have always
approved of, and it has also been helpful with bond ratings.
Councilmember Mavity added that as council does their planning throughout the budget
process, the preliminary levy is often set higher than where it is today. As noted, the levy
is lower than projected, and that is important to keep in mind each year. We are always
looking for ways to get the best value for St. Louis Park residents. She added this budget
reflects this in a very thoughtful and strategic way.
Councilmember Sanger noted the public hearing on this topic was held two weeks ago,
and only one resident spoke at that time. She asked if anyone could speak publically at
this time. Mayor Spano stated no as the public hearing had already been held, but
residents could call staff for more information.
Councilmember Brausen asked about storm water issues, specifically where the city has
committed $1.5 million toward the Bass Lake rehab project and other money towards
Walker Lake. Mr. Simon stated that these projects will come back to council next year
for final approval.
Councilmember Brausen thanked staff for all the work put into creating and shaping the
budget, as the city continues to try to balance the needs of an aging city infrastructure and
its residents with the limited revenue resources we have.
Councilmember Brausen added that no one wants to raise taxes, and we as a council wish
that less spending would be needed, with no revenue increases. This is sadly impossible
as our community's needs grow. So council tries its best in a professional and competent
manner to balance the needs and interests of our citizens and to continue to create an
environment that works for all. Prior to today, council has spent many hours discussing
this budget, at times eliminating or limiting spending and at other times increasing
spending where necessary.
Councilmember Brausen stated the budget that council is adopting (which is spelled out
in detail in our Agenda packet in the aptly titled 2017 Budget, Final City & HRA
Property Tax Levies and 2017-2026 Capital Improvements Program) includes a tax levy
of $30.2 million, with necessary increases in utility fees. With this revenue and other
sources, the city will be spending more than $34 million on capital improvements and
operational spending, broken down with $6.8 million on governmental operations (a
slight decrease from last year); $16 million on public safety; and $10.6 million on
operations and recreation. This budget will include capital spending of over $9 million on
City Council Meeting -6- December 19, 2016
road and street projects; $2 million on parks (including recent facilities updates this year);
$1 million on public works and sewers; $2.1 million on storm water projects; more than
$3 million on water treatment systems; and $3 million for Connect the Park sidewalks,
bikeways and trails projects.
Councilmember Brausen affirmed that adopting the budget is the single most important
task he has as a council person because council is trusted with these taxing and spending
decisions. The expenditures in the budget represent the things council views as important
in our community and worthy of tax dollars. They are expenditures that we are all
expected to share for our common need and good. Councilmember Brausen continued by
stating that he views the adopted budget as responsible and sensible, designed to continue
this city's history of reinvesting in our infrastructure and our people.
Councilmember Brausen concluded by saying that some people may object to the
spending priorities encompassed in this budget. He invited those people to share their
concerns with him by email and also to participate in the upcoming city visioning
process. Many of the current budget expenditures reflect the goals and priorities
expressed to the Vision Committee, staff and council in 2005-2006. The city is now
undertaking the visioning process again. Public participation in that process by sharing
thoughts and concerns will shape how and why decisions are made in the future. He
extended an invitation for people to participate.
Mayor Spano added the population of St. Louis Park from the 1940's to the 1970's, went
from 7,000 people to 47,000 people, and this is a tremendous amount of infrastructure
added over the years. He added this infrastructure is getting to be 60-70 years old, and
there are many things that need replacement. These items are outlined in the documents
on the city website for all to review at www.stlouispark.org/fmance/city/budget.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-162 approving the 2017 budgets and 2017 final property tax levy,
Resolution No. 16-163 authorizing the 201 7final HRA levy, and Resolution No. 16-164
approving the 2017-2026 capital improvementplan.
The motion passed 7-0.
8e. PLACE Private Activity Revenue Bond Financing. Resolution No. 16-165
Mr. Simon presented the staff report. He noted PLACE has made application to the city
for issuance of Private Activity Revenue Bonds. Approval of the preliminary resolution is
necessary for an application to be submitted to the state for allocation of bonding
authority. The preliminary resolution is the first step in the process and does not obligate
the city to issue the bonds. That decision will depend on the successful conclusion of
several other steps, including a public hearing and finalizing and approving the project
plans, TIF request, and redevelopment contract.
Councilmember Mavity stated this project has been ongoing for the past two years or
more. It will continue to be reviewed as it is a unique project relative to the SWLRT
station. She continued that through all the community meetings, issues have been raised.
It is not the same development proposal as it was in the beginning. It needs to be the right
fit and address all community concerns and questions. She added she is glad staff pointed
City Council Meeting -7- December 19, 2016
out there are still many steps in the project, and voting on these bonds does not finalize
the project at this point. She continued that if this vision moves forward, now is the time
to act. There will be time to have a public hearing later in order to hear more comments.
Councilmember Brausen asked if there is a maximum number of private activity bonds
the city can issue. Ms. Eddington stated there is no maximum; however, the state gives
away allocation for these bonds in a limited supply per year. She added that on January 3,
2017, there will be many more asking for bonds than the amount that is available.
PLACE will submit their application, and after they receive their allocation, they will
need to work on their next steps.
Councihnember Miller stated he was initially opposed to this project and is concerned
about traffic congestion, but he is not concerned any longer after seeing all the changes
the developer has made. He continued that this project gives something back to the
community, noting the plans now include wooded spaces, a coffee shop, woneruf's,
public space, live/work units, and affordable units, as well.
Councilmember Sanger noted she is not supporting the bonds and is not supporting the
project as it is too dense for the amount of space. She continued that with the density of
300 apartments and commercial units, traffic will be an issue. Also, this is right next to
the Wooddale Avenue Bridge, which already has so many traffic issues. Adding more
traffic at this location does not seem like a good move. She added that the bridge is in
need of improvements and will require more to handle the pedestrian and bicycle traffic
generated from the project.
Councilmember Sanger added that so far she has not seen the developer offer to
contribute any money for changes that need to be made to the bridge. Additionally, she
noted that 60% of the units will be "affordable" for lower income tenants. She added
when you have that high of a concentration, management will not be able to raise rent
very much, which leads to concerns about long-term maintenance issues, as well.
Councilmember Sanger added that another project completed by this same developer in
California showed there were unattended maintenance issues at that project, which does
not lead to confidence that maintenance issues would be addressed at the St. Louis Park
PLACE project. She stated for these reasons she will not support this project and will not
support the private activity revenue bonds.
Councilmember Mavity stated she was glad Councilmember Sanger brought up the
Wooddale Bridge, noting the original design of the bridge created unsafe conditions for
pedestrians and bikers. She continued that on the consent agenda the council approved
improvements to this bridge. With or without this development, the improvements to the
bridge have been absolutely needed and required. Additionally, she stated whether or not
the PLACE project moves forward, the Wooddale Bridge is a completely separate issue
and irrelevant to this project. She thanked residents for their work on the bridge
improvements, as well as the city engineer.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-165, providing preliminary approval to the issuance of tax-exempt
obligations under Minnesota Statues, Chapters 462C and 474A, as amended, and taking
other actions in connection therewith.
City Council Meeting -8- December 19, 2016
The motion passed 6-1. (Sanger opposed.)
8d. Resolution Supporting and Standing with All Members of the St. Louis Park
Community. Resolution No. 16-166.
Mr. Harmening stated that after several weeks of discussion, council directed staff to
prepare a resolution that reinforces and clearly states the council's support for all
members of the St. Louis Park community, no matter the color of their skin; their gender;
the way they worship; where they were born; their age; their disability; their status
regarding public assistance; their marital or familial status; their sexual orientation; or
any other identity. He added that tonight this resolution is being brought forward for
approval.
Councilmember Mavity added we are universally proud of our community, and this
resolution is being brought up this evening in light of the public dialogue that seems to be
polarizing folks nationally. Also, we are seeing a rise in the number of folks in our
community who are feeling less safe or less welcome. She added there is no change in
policy that this resolution is proposing, but it is just to establish or affirm we are a
welcoming and safe community for all. She added that parts of this resolution pull from
our City Charter and preamble; from endorsed policies from our Human Rights
Commission; and from the practices of our police force.
Councilmember Mavity continued that the city's policing model is based on trust
between the members of our community and our city. This resolution is also clarifying
that it is in our public safety interest that all victims of crimes feel safe to call 911 when
they need help. Likewise, if someone is a witness to a crime, they can feel safe to report it
to the police and be a witness. Additionally, Councilmember Mavity noted she recently
attended an Allies of St. Louis Park community meeting, where folks came together to
stand up and raise these issues. They spoke about how to present this city as a welcoming
community and to present welcoming and affirming values that are longstanding and will
continue into the future in St. Louis Park.
Mayor Spano read the resolution into the permanent public record. He stated this
resolution reaffirms what we already do as a community and noted he and the council
want to remind folks of this and want people to feel safe in the City of St. Louis Park.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-166, supporting and standing with all members of the St. Louis Park
Community.
The motion passed 7-0.
8e. Vision St. Louis Park Steering Committee Appointments.
Ms. McMonigal presented the staff report, noting that out of the 23 candidates who
applied for the steering committee, 9 are being appointed and confirmed today by the
council.
Mayor Spano stated this committee will serve as a liaison between the community and
the council. Councilmember Lindberg stated he is excited for this work. Councilmember
City Council Meeting -9- December 19, 2016
Brausen added that the applicants were very qualified. He thanked the others who applied
and stated that the council asks them to please stay engaged in other ways in this process.
Councilmember Miller added he understands there are people in the community who
might not be heard, such as the underserved or those who might not speak English well,
adding that the council wants to be certain they hear from those folks. He continued that
there are 60 some families in the city's Perspectives Program and others who the city
needs to hear from, also. He looks forward to this process.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Sanger to
appoint the following people to the Vision St. Louis Park Steering Committee: Lynette
Dumalag, Matt Flory, Amaya Fokuo, Lisa Genis, Justin Grays, George Hagemann,
Rachel Harris, Curt Rahman and Julie Sweitzer.
The motion passed 7-0.
8f. Update on Water Treatment Plant #4.
Mr. Harmening updated the council on Water Treatment Plant #4. He explained the city
has been tracking vinyl chloride (VC) levels at the plant, along with the Minnesota
Department of Health. While VC levels are under EPA requirements, the MDH has its
own standards and expressed concerns to the city about that particular plant. Staff and
council have been discussing a long-term fix for the VC issue, and in between a short-
term measure has been implemented and has been showing progress in reducing VC. Mr.
Harmening said if that were the extent of the problems, he wouldn't be talking about
changing course. Testing has been increased significantly from quarterly to every two
weeks. About two weeks ago testing detected TCE at Water Treatment Plant 114. While
below EPA limits, the MDH has a much lower limit, and levels were above it for this
chemical. This caught the city's attention based on concerns about that particular
chemical.
Mr. Harmening explained that the city has learned that all involved agencies will likely
allow the city to take the plant out of service; therefore out of an abundance of caution
and to preserve the public's trust, he is suggesting moving ahead with taking Water
Treatment Plant #4 out of service by January 1, 2017, until it can be upgraded. The goal
is to start construction in summer 2017, with completion in summer 2018.
Mr. Harmening added that the city does have capacity to continue to serve the
community and also to supplement the city's water supply from neighboring
communities, if needed, in case of emergencies. If the council is comfortable with this
recommendation, then staff will move forward.
Councilmember Miller stated that he wanted to reiterate that drinking water is the
council's and the city's number one priority. It is as important as policing or
development. He supports this recommendation.
Mayor Spano added this project was originally in the 2018 Capital Improvements Plan
(CIP) and was accelerated into the 2017 CIP, which was recently approved.
City Council Meeting -10- December 19, 2016
Councilmember Lindberg stated this makes sense and thanked staff for doing their
homework, as there were some unanswered questions, including dealing with Reilly,
which is unrelated to this particular issue but still affected by taking Water Treatment
Plant #4 out of service. He stated safe drinking water is one of the highest priorities he
has for the city. He appreciated the fast work by city staff and said this makes the most
sense moving forward.
Councilmember Brausen added he relies on the professional staff, who are erring on the
side of caution and making a decision in the best interest of the city. While it comes at a
cost, the council is happy we are doing this. He also thanked citizens who are interested
in this issue, as well, adding it is good to know our community cares.
Councilmember Hallfin stated this is one of the issues that council has had to learn a lot
about. Because the council is not experts on this topic, they have to rely on city staff and
their expertise. He added that no one wants anyone to drink water that is unhealthy or
unsafe. Now that the experts are recommending to take this plant off line, the council will
do so.
Councilmember Lindberg asked that staff develop a communication plan related to this
shutdown and put it online so that everyone has easy access to the information and the
details of the process.
The council recommended staff move forward on the shutdown of Water Treatment Plant
#4 with a target date of January 1, 2017, and to expedite design and construction of
planned improvements to the water treatment plant.
8g. Accepting Report, Establishing and Approving Plans and Specifications, and
Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for the Replacement of the Skate Park.
Councilmember Sanger stated this item to approve plans for the new skate park and send
out bids has moved forward without input from neighbors. She asked to delay a vote on
this issue and also that the item be brought back for discussion after the neighborhood
meeting to see if people request any changes to this plan. She asked the City Attorney to
comment on the process for this change.
Mr. Mattick stated this can be moved to a later date for approval, but he was not sure
about implications to the project timeline.
Ms. Walsh stated there have been ongoing meetings on the plans, and staff is now simply
asking for bids on the design. She added that once proposals come in, we can certainly
still make changes to the plans and incorporate any information from the neighbors.
Councilmember Sanger stated that the city has an established process for consulting with
neighbors, and they may have concerns about building the skate park in this location at
all. She stated the letting of bids is putting the cart before the horse, and does not
contribute to public trust. She added she prefers to delay the vote until after the
neighborhood meeting.
Councilmember Mavity agreed there is a process in place for consulting with neighbors.
She added there was significant outreach done in advance of the plans, noting there were
City Council Meeting -11- December 19, 2016
advertisements about where the skate park would be located. There was a public meeting
on May 18. There were online and cable TV notices; flyers distributed; information in the
Sun Sailor and ECCO newspapers; and surveys where input was requested.
Councilmember Sanger thanked Councilmember Mavity for this information but stated
she still would like the neighbors who are concerned to have input.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if there would be any possible loss of funding for the
project if the timeline were delayed. Ms. Walsh stated no.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, and seconded by Councilmember Brausen to
table consideration of the resolution accepting the report, establishing and approving
plans and specifications, and authorizing advertisement for bids for the replacement of
the skate park to January 16, 2017.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Mayor Spano delivered holiday greetings to all residents, stating Happy Hanukah, Merry
Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all.
