Discussion Item: 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Ranked Choice Voting
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. This item is being brought forward at the
request of the City Council.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council want to further pursue the method of
Ranked Choice Voting for municipal elections? Does the City Council need additional
information on this topic?
SUMMARY: The council has previously discussed the topic of RCV on several occasions in
2006, 2010, and 2012. The consensus of the council following each of those discussions was that
implementation of an alternative voting method in St. Louis Park was not warranted.
On May 9, 2016 the council again discussed the topic of RCV along with other topics related to
municipal elections. Ginny Gelms, Hennepin County Elections Manager, was in attendance to
provide information and answer questions. During council discussion a number of concerns were
raised including: cost of holding primary elections, staff resources related to the administration of
primary elections, historically low voter turnout at primary elections, perceived lack of serious
candidates filing for municipal office, and the undue burdens placed on candidates to run
campaigns for potentially both a primary and general election. At that time the consensus of the
Council was that a switch to the ranked choice voting method was not warranted, primarily because
the school district does not have the option to switch voting methods, and it was thought that other
measures could be taken to address the identified concerns.
On April 17, 2017 the City Council conducted a public hearing to consider the first reading of an
ordinance amending the City Charter by eliminating the need for a municipal primary election
when three (3) or more candidates file for an office and changing the candidate filing requirements.
During the public hearing the council took public testimony from a number of individuals
regarding the topic of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). At the conclusion of the public hearing, the
council directed staff to schedule a follow-up discussion on the topic of RCV.
At the meeting on June 5 a 10-15 minute presentation on RCV will be made by Jeanne Massey,
Executive Director from Fair Vote Minnesota.
The City Attorney will also be in attendance on June 5 to answer any legal questions council may
have related to RCV.

Special Study Session Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 1) Page 2
Title: Ranked Choice Voting
DISCUSSION
What is Ranked Choice Voting?
Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) is a method of voting allowing voters to rank multiple candidates
in order of preference.
Can the Ranked Choice Voting method be used for State, Federal, or County elections?
No, the RCV method cannot be used for State, Federal, or County elections. This means that in
even-year elections voters in St. Louis Park would use the current voting method to elect
candidates. Implementation of RCV would only apply to municipal elections.
Can the school district choose to elect school board members using the Ranked Choice
method?
No, the school district does not have the option to conduct elections using RCV. State statute only
allows Charter cities to choose to implement an alternative voting method such as RCV. Because
the school district does not have this option, the ballot layout, style, and method of election must
follow statutory guidelines.
Have other cities in Minnesota considered implementing RCV?
In 2016, the City of Brooklyn Park held a public hearing to consider a charter amendment that
would implement Ranked Choice Voting. The City Council unanimously voted against the
ordinance at the first reading. The Brooklyn Park Charter Commission ultimately decided not to
put a question on the ballot and instead opted to keep the topic of Ranked Choice Voting in their
work plan for continued monitoring.
In 2015 the City of Duluth placed a question on the ballot asking voters to decide whether or not
a switch should be made. The ballot question was defeated and RCV was not implemented.
In 2009, a ballot question to switch to RCV was supported by voters in St. Paul. RCV was
implemented for use in the 2011election. Currently, there is a petition in St. Paul to place another
question on the ballot to repeal the use of RCV for municipal elections.
In 2006, the City of Minneapolis placed a question on the ballot to amend the charter and voters
ultimately supported a switch to RCV. In 2009 RCV was used in Minneapolis’ election.
How are ballots are counted using the RCV method?
In Minneapolis, after the polls close, election officials count all of the first choice votes to see if
any one candidate has more than the required threshold of votes to win. In single seat races, the
threshold is 50% of the ballots cast plus 1, or more than half the votes cast. If a candidate gets
more than half of the votes in a single seat race, that candidate is declared the winner.
If no candidate receives more than the required threshold of first choice votes, the Ranked-Choice
process kicks in. The candidate who received the lowest number of votes is eliminated, along with
any candidates who have no mathematical possibility of winning. Their votes are reallocated based
on the second-choice votes on those ballots. If that process leaves one candidate with more than
the required threshold of votes, that candidate is declared the winner.
If there's still no candidate with more than the required threshold of votes, the candidate remaining
with the lowest number of votes is eliminated, and his or her votes are reallocated based on the
next remaining ranking on those ballots. If a voter's second choice candidate was already
eliminated, their third choice gets the vote. This process continues until one candidate reaches the
threshold of required votes, and that candidate is declared the winner.
Special Study Session Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 1) Page 3
Title: Ranked Choice Voting
In St. Paul candidates win the election by getting an absolute majority (50 percent + 1) of the first
choice votes cast for the office. The first choice votes will be counted by voting equipment at each
polling place. If no candidate gets a majority of first choice votes on election night, counting will
resume the following week.
Initially, ballots are sorted by first choice votes and counted to determine the total for each
candidate. The candidate receiving the fewest number of votes, plus all other candidates who do
not have a mathematical chance to win, will be eliminated. The voters' next highest choice for a
candidate still in the running will be added to that candidate's vote total. Ballots that have no votes
for a candidate still in the running are set aside.
The counting and reallocation continues in rounds until a candidate achieves a majority of votes.
If only two candidates remain and neither has achieved a majority of votes cast, then the candidate
with the most votes is the winner
Can the ballot tabulator (DS200) count Ranked-Choice races?
Yes, the DS200 can provide first round results and will count every first-choice selection. The
machine does not tabulate beyond the first round. If additional rounds are necessary to determine
a winner, elections staff uses an excel spreadsheet prepared by Hennepin County using information
exported from the DS200 to tabulate vote totals using the ranked-choice process.
Can the ballot tabulator (DS200) be programmed to count ballots containing two different
voting methods?
Yes, the ballot tabulator does have the capability to process ballots that contain races using the
RCV method and races using the standard voting method. While this has been done in St. Paul,
using a different model ballot tabulator, it has not yet been done in Hennepin County. Although
the City of Minneapolis uses the same voting equipment (DS200), their school district elections
are not held in conjunction with city elections.
When will results be declared for races in which additional rounds need to be counted?
The amount of time needed could vary based on multiple factors, including the number of races to
be tabulated, the number of candidates in a race, and the number of additional rounds that are
required to obtain a winner. It is likely that city staff would need approximately 3-5 business days
after the election to complete the process and declare a winner. A winner would not be declared
on election night for races in which there is no winner after the first round of votes.
Is it possible that a candidate who does not reach the 50%+1 threshold could be elected in a
RCV race?
Yes, if no candidate receives the required threshold after the entire counting process is complete,
the top vote-getter is elected.
Will the voting equipment (DS200) tell the voter if they have made an error specific to RCV?
No. In the polling place, voters should pay special attention to avoid making mistakes specific to
RCV that the equipment cannot detect. Those errors are:
Marking the same candidate in more than one column of an office
Skipping a column between ranked candidates
Does a vote still count if a voter selects the same candidate for all choices?
Yes. The vote will count only once for that candidate. If a voter ranks one candidate as their first,
second, and third choice, it is the same as if they left the second and third choices blank. A
candidate's chances of winning are not improved by selecting that candidate at more than one
ranking on a ballot.
Special Study Session Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 1) Page 4
Title: Ranked Choice Voting
Does a vote still count if a voter only selects one choice?
Yes. The vote will count for the one choice. A vote for a candidate stays with that candidate
through all rounds of counting until that candidate is defeated, and only then is a vote transferred
to the next ranked candidate, if any.
Can a voter give multiple candidates the same ranking?
No. Ranking more than one candidate in a column is an overvote, and will cause that column to
be skipped. The overvote will be transferred to the voters’ next Ranked-Choice in the subsequent
column, if any.

What is the legal process the city would follow to implement RCV?
The Minnesota House Research Information Brief on Instant-Runoff Voting states: “Home-rule
charter cities are not required to seek legislative authorization if the IRV process is incorporated
into the city charter.” In Minneapolis, instant runoff voting is authorized by City Charter § 3.1
and election procedures for instant runoff voting are set out in City Code §§ 167.10 – 167.140. In
St. Paul instant runoff voting is authorized by City Charter § 7.06 and election procedures for
runoff voting are set out in City Code §§ 31.01-31.09. The City would need to authorize instant
runoff voting in the City Charter and then develop and enact procedures for instant runoff voting
(provisions for definitions, ballots, counting votes, counting write in candidates, recounts, voting
equipment etc.) in the City Code.
There are four ways that the City Charter can be amended:
1. Under Minn. Stat. § 410.12 subd. 1-4, the Charter Commission may propose a charter
amendment to be put to an election.
2. Under Minn. Stat. § 410.12 subd. 1-4 upon receipt of a valid citizen petition, the Charter
Commission must propose a charter amendment be put to an election.
3. Under Minn. Stat. § 410.12 subd. 5, the City Council can by ordinance propose a charter
amendment which after review by the charter commission may be put to an election.
4. Under Minn. Stat. § 410.12 subd. 7, the City Council may enact a charter amendment by
ordinance adopted by affirmative vote of all of its members. The charter amendment becomes
effective 90 days after passage and publication unless the City receives a valid petition
requesting a referendum on the charter amendment. If the requisite petition is filed within
the prescribed period, the charter amendment does not become effective until it is approved
by voters at an election. This was the procedure utilized by the City regarding the elimination
of Primaries.

36th Street was reviewed at the March 27, 2017, study session, where it received consensus
support. He stated constructing The Elmwood project is not financially feasible but for the
use of the proposed Tax Increment Financing assistance. At its April 3, 2017, meeting, the
council set a public hearing date of May 15, 2017, for the consideration of the
redevelopment TIF district. Mr. Hunt stated that establishing the TIF district does not
commit the EDA to any financial assistance but creates the funding vehicle for the
provision of TIF. He added that staff recommends approval.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Lindberg, to adopt
EDA Resolution No. 17-15, approving the establishment of The Elmwood Apartments Tax
Increment Financing District within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (a redevelopment
district).
The motion passed 6-1 (Commissioner Miller opposed).
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Spano, to adopt EDA

The motion passed 6-1 (Commissioner Miller opposed).
7b. Redevelopment Contract with 36th Street LLC. Resolution No. 17-17
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report. He stated that the redeveloper proposed to demolish
the structurally substandard building located at 5605 W.36th Street and construct a 6-story,
mixed-use, senior housing building called The Elmwood. The project will have 85
residential units, restricted to residents age 55+, of which 17 (or 20%) will be affordable at
60% of the area median income. In addition, it will have approximately 4,920 square feet
of commercial space.
Mr. Hunt added that the estimated total cost of the project is over $20 million, and based
on analysis from the EDA’s financial consultant, The Elmwood is not financially feasible
without Tax Increment Financing assistance. He added that the project will bring vibrancy
to the area and meets all of the minimum and desired qualifications within the city’s TIF
Policy. The staff recommends support of the project, noting the assistance is for
redevelopment purposes only.
It was moved by Commissioner Brausen, seconded by Commissioner Hallfin, to adopt EDA
Resolution No. 17-17, approving the Redevelopment Contract between the EDA and 36th
Street LLC.
The motion passed 6-1 (Commissioner Miller opposed).

1a. Pledge of Allegiance
1b. Roll Call
2. Presentations
2a. Bike Month Proclamation
Mayor Spano read a proclamation declaring May, 2017, bike month in the City of St. Louis
Park. He noted this is a joint effort between Hennepin County, Minneapolis Bicycle
Coalition, and Three Rivers Park District.
Mr. Sullivan announced Twin Cities Bike to Work Day is May 17, 7:30 to 9 a.m., with
commuter rest stops at Beltline Boulevard at the Cedar Lake Regional Trail and at Virginia
Avenue at the North Cedar Lake Trail. The Bike the Park Family Bike Ride is May 27,
10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and involves a bike ride from the Aquila School parking lot to Dakota
Park and back.
2b. Update from Hennepin County Mike Freeman
Mayor Spano welcomed Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman.
Mr. Freeman provided an update on activities and initiatives of the Hennepin County
Attorney’s Office. He thanked the St. Louis Park Police Department, the new police chief,
mayor, and city council members. Mr. Freeman also gave an update on crime in St. Louis
Park, saying it is consistently low, and property and violent crimes are down. He thanked
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
the city for their partnership with the County Attorney’s Office. Additionally, Mr. Freeman
stated that opiates are a problem in Hennepin County now, and his office is working hard
to get prescription amounts reduced. He added that a difficult part of this ongoing problem
is that dealers are selling bad heroin, which is killing users.
Mr. Freeman noted that the county has also been working on retargeting the sentencing of
drug offenses, including adding treatment either with prison or instead of prison. He added
that guns are still a problem, and his office is collecting many and prosecuting people
vigorously.
Mr. Freeman stated that he spends a lot of time with kids and encourages them to stay in
school, noting it is against the law if parents are not taking their kids to school. He added
that curfew laws for under 18 are strict, as well.
Mr. Freeman closed by saying that government is being asked to be more transparent,
especially with the press. Today everyone wants to know what a grand jury is doing during
deliberations. The county offices are more open and put more information on the web. He
referenced the Jamar Clark case where 80,000 hits were received on the county website
related to the case and the grand jury. He again thanked the city staff, police and the city
council for their support.
2c. St. Louis Park High School Students Update on The Nest
Mayor Spano acknowledged students from St. Louis Park High School, who came with an
update on The Nest project. The students delivered a presentation on their proposal for a
location to be used as a hangout to study and purchase coffee and treats. They noted other
locations in the west metro where students have a similar place, including Minneapolis,
Savage, and Hopkins. The students feel something similar in St. Louis Park would be a
great asset and provide a huge benefit to the community, as well.
The students explained this is to be a safe place to spend time with friends and for them to
be themselves. The students noted the need for a safe, inclusive space that is substance free
and with a casual coffee shop atmosphere. They noted this would be a place where students
could give their points of view and gain a sense of self-esteem and belonging. They also
presented a short video and noted the Muddy Paws Cheesecake Company is interested in
being involved, as well, with a separate business adjacent to The Nest.
It was noted that a board of students and parents had been formed, and a financial plan was
presented, with an estimate of what is needed to fund the creation of The Nest. The students
added that they are looking into becoming a 501c3 non-profit and will pursue possible
grants. They are asking the council to provide the initial seed money of approximately
$25,000-30,000 for rental of the space so that it can open for the 2017-18 school year. The
board will manage the project. The students noted that they have a Facebook and an
Instagram page, have done surveys and have 259 signatures to date in support of the
project. Additionally, the Police Department is supportive of this project.
Mayor Spano thanked the students for their presentation.
Councilmember Miller said he has had the privilege of working with this group over the
last 18 months. He stated that the students are very mindful of inclusivity of all people.
This was their own idea and not that of their parents. He continued that the students want
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
students from all economic, race, and financial backgrounds to be welcome, and the space
is to be a safe haven for all. Councilmember Miller added that many students today suffer
from anxiety and depression, and it would be helpful if the community could play a role in
supporting students. He noted this will be important to review and discuss at a future city
council study session.
Councilmember Mavity added that she had received an email from owner of Muddy Paws
Cheesecake, noting they are on board with the project. Additionally, she stated there are
many creative ways to find seed money and support from the St. Louis Park Community
Foundation, St. Louis Park School Foundation, and Lennox Fund, noting she hopes there
will be broad support.
Mayor Spano stated he speaks for the council when he says they are excited about this
project. They have already engaged in this conversation and want to move it forward. He
thanked the students for sharing their presentation.

City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
Meghan Phimister, 3451 Zarthan Ave. S., stated she is a 30-year resident of St. Louis Park
and is surprised that no reference checking on the developer was done by staff, adding that
the city needs to find out what the developer did well on other projects, so St. Louis Park
can be successful. She added that the EAW report should be done annually, as well as a
mobility travel demand report. She stated that when the West End opened, there was ample
parking, but now there is not enough parking. She added that the city needs to extend the
agreement to 10 years, not 3 years, and to keep reviewing it. She recommended that staff
also review U-turn mitigation and right-in, right-out traffic at the frontage road. She also
noted there is risk with the digester, and there could be issues with smells. While she does
support the project, she prefers the council delay the vote.
Kim Anderson, 3248 Yosemite Ave. S., stated that we are all stewards of public money
and share in that. She thanked the council for the times they have been careful stewards
with public money and also clarified that her research was done because she is a supporter
of the project. She added that both visionaries and implementers are needed. Accountability
goes both ways. She stated that the city needs to figure out what is successful about this
vision and give the developer everything they need to bring it to fruition, adding that St.
Louis Park needs affordable housing and inclusive environments.
Roger Onken, 3600 Wooddale Ave. S., agreed with Ms. Anderson and asked the council
to put on their creative thinking caps in order to reduce height, financial risk, and noise
pollution. He stated the project should be reduced to four stories and all potential risks
mitigated. He hopes the council will postpone the vote. He stated he lives kiddy-corner
from the project and noted there is wildlife in the area. Additionally, he stated this past
Sunday, there were two dozen cars parked on the street in front of stores at 3 p.m. He asked
where these cars will park after the PLACE project is built.
Lois Zander, 3109 Zarthan Ave. S., is Co-Chair of the Sorenson Neighborhood group and
has lived in St. Louis Park for 26 years. While she is not opposed to PLACE or to affordable
housing, she is concerned about the EAW and other issues. She also visited the Ventura,
California, PLACE development twice and spoke to the person in charge. She stated she
was hoping to see some vibrancy but only saw one artist. Ms. Zander added that with
potential parking issues, a ramp was suggested. She stated residents have been told that the
trend will be for people to reduce or discontinue the use of cars. She added that the traffic
study that was done is antiquated, citing the amount of traffic to the Rec Center, The Roc,
and Trader Joes. She asked the council to listen to everyone’s concerns and rather than
waiting for issues to arise, to approve the project only after all of the major issues have
been resolved so that the developer will be successful from the beginning. She asked that
the vote be postponed.
Lynn Levine, 2301 Westridge Ln., noted she has lived here less than one year and been
involved with wetlands in St. Louis Park. She asked the council not to rush to approve this
development and to be careful.
Jeff Persigal, 3000 Hwy. 100, stated he loves the idea of PLACE, but the development
needs more parking. He stated that all the issues are related to traffic, and he does not think
the city is dreaming big enough. He stated that there will not be enough parking if the
project takes off like the council believes it will. People wanting to use the park and ride
will find a huge hassle.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
Sonja Almi, 3922 Webster Ave. S., stated this council has moved very quickly on issues in
the past. She pointed out years ago with the Park Nicollet development, residents had to
convince the city to review the vegetation and lighting, but the city rushed ahead. She
argued that there is impact to residents, noting that her house overlooks Highway 100 and
is impacted every day by traffic and higher illumination on her street. She stated no one at
city hall has responded, and the plantings on Park Center Boulevard have not been kept up
for years. She stated it is not just an issue with the PLACE building, but there will be issues
with sustainment of the urban forest, parking, traffic, and impact to the environment. She
asked the council what will happen if the composting mechanism ruptures or if there is a
contingency plan in place. She also asked the council not to rush into this, to protect the
citizens, and to use public money wisely.
John Smith Koppes, 3640 Woodale Ave. S., noted he believes TIF is a responsible funding
measure, and he supports it.
Russell Geisman 3700 Wooddale Ave S., asked the council to be smart and not delay. He
noted there is a trend toward not owning/driving a car. He added that he is a hiring manager
who works with and talks to millennials every day. He thanked the council for all the work
they are doing.
Noel Russett, Vallacher Ave., stated he has been to more than three meetings on this
development, and every time a different plan has been presented. He stated that the city
needs contingencies, and he has questions on the EAW statements. He requested a delay
of this vote due to lack of contingency plans, noting the development will not be able to
support affordable housing if the hotel fails.
Mayor Spano closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Hallfin stated many residents are in favor of the project, and many want
to delay the project. Likewise, many folks have lived in St. Louis Park for many years. He
has lived here for 50 years. He added that historically the city has received complaints on
many projects over the years, including in the area being discussed. Years ago, many said
the smell of peanut butter or coffee was too strong. He added that the city has contingency
plans. Councilmember Hallfin commented that many have requested that the council not
rush into this decision, noting that the council has been reviewing it for the past four years.
He stated the council looks at each one of these projects on their own merit, and he is in
favor of this development. He added that over the years, this developer made many
requested revisions to the plans.
Councilmember Mavity stated that it is no secret she is a supporter of this project and will
support the TIF. She pointed out for the record that there is risk to this project, but there is
other public funding in this project, and the council is not rushing into it. She stated that
this is not the same project that the council started with. It has been improved through input
from the community. She stated that issues will be dealt with, pointing out that when there
were parking issues at The Ellipse, measures were put in place to make it workable.
Councilmember Mavity added that there has been much talk about parking and traffic. If
the SWLRT moves forward, there will be three stations in St. Louis Park. The Beltline
Station will be the park-and-ride, not the Wooddale Station.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
Councilmember Brausen stated there have been some questions on whether staff has done
due diligence on this project. He noted that the council has been working with staff on this
project for four years. He pointed out that the Ventura development is in a different
economy. He added that the council believes this project will be successful and are also
demanding performance guarantees. He stated that the city has options to terminate if
things do not go as planned, adding that if the e-generation goes wrong it can be terminated
as well. Councilmember Brausen stated that the city has built accountability into the
process and that he will continue to support it.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-078, approving the establishment of the Wooddale Station Tax
Increment Financing District within Redevelopment Project No. 1 (a redevelopment
district).
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed, Councilmember Lindberg
absent).
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. PLACE St. Louis Park EAW Finding of Fact and Record of Decision.
Resolution No. 17-079
Mr. Walther presented the staff report regarding the Environmental Assessment Worksheet
(EAW) for the PLACE redevelopment project. He stated that the EAW is complete. Staff
found that the PLACE redevelopment project does not have the potential for significant
negative environmental effects and does not warrant an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS). Mr. Walther stated that the EAW was posted on city websites and in the Sun Sailor.
It was noted that adoption requires 4 affirmative votes.
Councilmember Sanger stated on page 27 of the EAW, in comments from the Metropolitan
Council, it states that if PLACE is constructed, there will need to be changes to the
pedestrian access to the light rail station, which will need to be paid for by others.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the PLACE redevelopment will be responsible for the
costs of these changes. Mr. Walther stated that PLACE would be responsible for that
change. This is included in the planning development contract, and a cost neutral solution
would be sought. Councilmember Sanger also stated that related to the number of parking
spaces, on pages 33 and 42 of the EAW, the parking calculations did not include a 10%
reduction due to proximity to the transit stop. She added that in the Walker study, 54 spaces
were deducted, so it seems that staff’s analysis and the Walker analysis are at odds. She
stated that she wonders if there is agreement with Walker on parking spots here.
Mr. Walther stated that the parking was analyzed in 3 ways - from the demand projected
by PLACE, the Walker Parking Consultants report, and staff research. Mr. Walther added
that staff research and experience supported the 447 parking spaces shown in the current
plans. The Walker parking study provided additional research, reviewed comparable
examples per Walker’s experience in this region and nationally, and Walker Parking
Consultants shared parking model. The Walker review affirmed staff’s research and
proposed parking requirements for the development. PLACE adjusted the plans to provide
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 8
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
the parking that staff recommended for the site and adjusted the unit mix to meet these
requirements. He added there is ongoing review and responsibility included in the
agreements to manage any parking shortfalls, if any materialize, especially during this time
period when LRT is not yet up and running.
Councilmember Sanger asked if she is to assume that Walker, PLACE, and staff all got to
447 spaces. Mr. Walther stated they all were within the same range. Councilmember
Sanger noted that Ms. Anderson’s report said that in Ventura, California, they had the same
approach to car-free living, and it did not work. She added that PLACE management did
not enforce this requirement, so why should we expect them to enforce it here. She also
asked what the impact is if this project is not successful and is half vacant, and why there
is nothing in the EAW that addresses the finances. Mr. Walther stated the parking
management is a condition of approval and reinforced in the agreements, and that there is
a financial impact report in the TIF analysis, but it is not in within the EAW report.
Councilmember Hallfin asked about parking and how the city would address it if someone
was living in a car-free unit and had a car. Mr. Walther stated that in the event there is
additional demand for parking, the city monitors and regulates on-street parking. If there
is an opportunity to add permit parking or restrict parking hours, the property is required
to manage it more appropriately. Councilmember Hallfin also asked if there is anything in
the PUD to ensure that the developer will not have that problem in the first place. Mr.
Walther stated that there is an approved parking plan that is the financial responsibility of
the developer.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-079, certifying the environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) as an
adequate examination of the environmental impacts and accepting the Record of Decision,
declaring no need for an Environmental Impact Statement for the PLACE redevelopment
project.
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed, Councilmember Lindberg
absent).
8b. PLACE – Preliminary and Final Plat; Second Reading of the PUD. Resolution
No. 17-080 and Ordinance No. 2518-17
Ms. Monson presented the staff report, preliminary and final plat, and the second reading
of the preliminary and final Planned Unit Development for PLACE (Projects Linking Art,
Community & Environment), a Minneapolis 501(c)(3) nonprofit developer, to construct a
landmark mixed-use, mixed income, transit oriented and environmentally sustainable
development. She noted that project components include 2 apartment buildings with a total
of 299 residential units (200 affordable and 99 market rate); a 110-room hotel, a 10,000-
sq. ft. e-generation/greenhouse facility; approximately 15,400 sq. ft. of ground floor
commercial/retail space; parking structures; and an urban forest. It was noted that both
actions require 4 affirmative votes.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he received an email from a friend who lives at the 3600
building on Wooddale. He stated the friend asked if the low-income housing piece is
accurate and in line with other multi-living units in St. Louis Park. Councilmember Hallfin
replied to his friend that there are more affordable units in this development than others in
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 9
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
St. Louis Park because the developer is not for profit and their model is to build live/work
affordable units. He added that the number of affordable units depends on the size of the
project and that there are different levels of affordability. He pointed out the difference
between affordable and low income, stating this really crystalized the beauty of what
PLACE is proposing to build.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-080, approving the Preliminary and Final Plat subject to conditions.
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed, Councilmember Lindberg
absent).
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve
Second Reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2518-17, adding Section 36-268-PUD 9 to the
Zoning Code and amend the Zoning Map from IG-General Industrial and MX-Mixed Use
to PUD 9 for the property located at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale
Avenue and the northeast corner of West 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue, and approve
summary ordinance for publication.
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed, Councilmember Lindberg
absent).
8c. Conveyance of Property from the City to the EDA pursuant to proposed
Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation One, LLC.
Resolution No. 17-081
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report regarding the proposal by PLACE E-Generation One,
LLC, to purchase nine properties from the EDA and construct a major mixed-use transit-
oriented redevelopment at the southeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Wooddale Avenue,
and the northeast corner of W. 36th Street and Wooddale Avenue. The proposed
redevelopment site requires the assemblage of nine parcels, of which three (5815 Hwy. 7;
3575 Wooddale; 5816 36th St.; and 5814 36th St.) are owned by the city and require
conveyance to the EDA so that they may subsequently be sold to PLACE.
Mayor Spano commented to residents that he knows many agree with the project and are
excited, while others have concerns. He pointed out this development has been through
many iterations, and today it is a very different project than it was in the beginning. He
added that many of the changes came from public input, noting there has been much
feedback on how to improve it. He does not want residents to think it was a fait accompli
and that their concerns were not heard.
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-081, approving the conveyance of property from the City of St. Louis
Park to the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority pursuant to the proposed
Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with PLACE E-Generation One, LLC.
The motion passed 5-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed, Councilmember Lindberg
absent).
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 10
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
8d. Shoppes at Knollwood Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report regarding the application of Chick-fil-A (CFA) for
preliminary and final Planned Unit development (PUD) for the Shoppes at Knollwood,
which will include the redevelopment of the former TCF Bank building into a Chick-fil-A
restaurant, including a drive-through. He noted that there were some traffic concerns, so
the orientation of the building was changed to move the drive-through entrance further
away from Texas Avenue. Staff also noted that Texas Avenue and Highway 7 can
accommodate the traffic resulting from the restaurant.
Mr. Morrison stated that bicycle parking will be provided, and the 528 parking spaces at
Knollwood will provide ample parking for the restaurant. He added that the mall owners
will be bringing the stormwater management up to code this year, as well. Mr. Morrison
stated that the lighting was reviewed and plans were revised from four light poles down to
one. The landscaping will include removal of two trees, and standard landscaping will be
replaced. Proposed signage will be similar to the sign at Aquila and Highway 7.
Councilmember Mavity stated that she will support this motion, as it meets the city’s
guidelines. She thanked Chick-fil-A management for reaching out to the St. Louis Park
Allies group, noting that this is a group that represents the values of St. Louis Park, which
embraces, welcomes, and celebrates diversity – all colors, religions, and backgrounds. She
welcomed Chick-fil-A to the community and invited them to be involved in these values,
as well.
Councilmember Sanger asked about the stormwater management on the Knollwood
property. She stated that four years ago, Knollwood management proposed bringing it up
to code, but it still has not been done. She asked if an additional condition could be added
to the motion stating that Chick-fil-A would not be allowed to operate until the permits for
stormwater management are pulled by the management at Knollwood. Mr. Morrison noted
staff has been in communication with Knollwood management and Chick-fil-A on this
issue, and that staff could hold the permit for Chick-fil-A until the permit for the stormwater
has been issued.
Councilmember Hallfin stated that the previous mall owners did not take care of the
stormwater management issues. He asked if current management pulls permits now, what
the timing is and what the city’s recourse is if they do not follow through on this work. Mr.
Walther stated that the past management had agreed to make these improvements, and the
city provided a deadline, but they were not able to come to agreement on the improvements.
The city’s current agreement with Knollwood management states that they have until
October 2017 to complete the stormwater management project.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve
the First Reading of an ordinance establishing a Planned Unit Development for the
Shoppes at Knollwood and the construction of a Chick-fil-A restaurant, as amended to
require the permit for Chick-fil-A not be issued until the permits are pulled by Knollwood
management to begin the stormwater management work, and to set the second reading for
May 15, 2017.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 11
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
Councilmember Brausen added that Untiedt’s outdoor market is a good, fresh food option
for the community. He encouraged the Knollwood management to continue their lease, as
they have been serving the community from the mall parking lot for over 20 years.
The motion passed 6-0 (Councilmember Lindberg absent)
8e. Walker Pond – Conditional Use Permit. Resolution No. 17-082
Ms. Monson presented the staff report regarding a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
application by the city’s Engineering Department to export 2,160 cubic yards of material
and import 500 cubic yards of fill to construct a stormwater treatment facility in the
northeast quadrant of Highway 7 and Louisiana Avenue on two parcels located at 3400
Republic Ave. and 7015 Walker St. She noted that the city will remove the contaminated
soil according to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency standards, adding that construction
will take 8 to 12 weeks.
Mr. Harmening clarified that the council is not being asked to approve the stormwater
project. They are being asked for the land use approvals for the soil excavation and fill.
It was moved by Councilmember Hallfin, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-082, granting Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the City of St. Louis
Park allowing the excavation of 2,160 cubic yards of material and import of 500 cubic
yards of fill to construct a stormwater treatment facility at 3400 Republic Avenue and 7015
Walker Street, subject to conditions.
The motion passed 6-0. (Councilmember Lindberg absent)
8f. Special Permit Major Amendment – Benilde-St. Margaret’s (BSM).
Resolution No. 17-083
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report. He stated that BSM is requesting an amendment
to a special permit to add approximately 2,200 square feet of flex auditorium space within
its building and to convert approximately 4,700 square feet of storage space into
classrooms. He noted that the expansion is within the existing building footprint of the
school, so the addition does not expand the existing outer perimeter of the building. He
added there were public comments about the exterior lighting, the illuminated cross and
the tinted windows, and BSM agreed not to illuminate the cross.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is supportive and glad to see BSM has agreed not to
backlight the cross and to use tinted glass. However, she did not see these items written
into the special permit and asked if they can be added. She also asked if bird deterring glass
can be used.
Natalie Ramier, Chief Financial Officer at BSM, stated that the school has looked at
various non-reflecting glass, but at this time, they feel that tinting the glass is enough to
address the neighbor’s concerns about birds. She stated that they did a study and believe
the lighting impact will be negligible around the grounds and to neighbors. She continued
that the school would like to keep the tinting that is proposed.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 12
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
Councilmember Sanger stated this will be up to the school, but also noted there are
residents who would like to also address this topic and asked if they can communicate with
the school.
Liz Shapiro, 2500 Princeton Ct., stated she supports BSM. She chose to live in this area
because of the wetlands; however, lighting has become an issue over the years. They
appreciate the change of lighting that the school is proposing. She showed the council
photos of the lighting problem near and around their home. Ms. Shapiro also noted the
issue with the tinted windows, stating that the lights reflected in the windows and back to
the neighborhood, which can have a negative impact on the ecosystem. She stated that bird
safe glass can be modified so internal light does not spill out and asked that a glass product
be used which is not detrimental to birds. She presented support letters to the council from
neighbors who live in the wetland area. She read an email from a professor who conducted
a study related to glass and birds and presented that to council for the record, as well. She
added that she has shared this information with BSM directly.
Linda Goldberg, Executive Director of Beth El Synagogue, stated the synagogue has
enjoyed a close relationship with BSM over the years. They have joint gardens and shared
parking lots, among other things. She added that Beth El supports BSM in this project,
noting they are great neighbors and friends.
Greg Kubera, 2524 Princeton Ct., stated he has lived in the wetland area adjacent to BSM
for 14 years. While he loves the school, he is looking for a win-win here. He noted he has
seen a decline in the waterfowl over the years and is concerned about the lighting in the
wetlands, as well.
Mayor Spano stated the council toured a nature center last fall in the north metro and asked
them about their tinted glass as it relates to birds. He stated their staff said if the glass is
tilted at the top, birds see the reflection of the ground, and they don’t fly into it. He
suggested that the angle of the glass might be another option for BSM to consider. Mayor
Spano asked Ms. Ramier if BSM would please work with the neighbors on this issue. Ms.
Ramier stated they would.
Councilmember Sanger stated that the school has agreed the cross will not be backlit and
has also agreed to the tinted glass. She asked the City Attorney if the council has authority
to require that the glass installed prevents bird strikes. Mr. Mattick stated at this time the
city does not have any regulations that require glass to be treated, and requiring it in this
one site and this one portion of the building would present issues. Also, the city does not
have proven knowledge that the tinted glass works in deterring birds, so it cannot be
required. Councilmember Sanger then asked what could be accomplished if the council
were to delay its approval on this.
Councilmember Mavity asked if council delays this approval, if there is any way to address
this issue with requirements. Mr. Morrison stated BSM can do further review; however,
timing is an issue because construction must be completed by the time school starts in the
fall.
Mr. Harmening added he does not see how council can require the school to install special
glass to repel birds. He added this is a path the city has not gone down before. He noted
that BSM meets all of the city’s code requirements of lighting and lighting spill over. He
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3a) Page 13
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 1, 2017
added that staff can work with them and talk about possibilities, but added he cannot see
delaying this. He further stated the city does not have the regulatory authority and it serves
no purpose.
Councilmember Sanger encouraged BSM to work with the neighbors on this issue.
Councilmember Brausen added he would like to see a future study session on this and the
lighting issue, as well.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-083, authorizing a Major Amendment to the Special Permit to allow a
building expansion at Benilde-St. Margaret’s (BSM) school with conditions recommended
by staff.
The motion passed 6-0. (Councilmember Lindberg absent)
9. Communications
Mr. Harmening stated this Sunday, May 7, the city is conducting its 2017 home remodeling
tours from 12 noon to 4 p.m. More information can be found on the city website.
Mayor Spano noted an article in MN Post regarding SWLRT, and stated it is not correct or
accurate. He added there are still many processes and hurdles to go through on this issue.
10. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 11:15 p.m.

UNOFFICIAL MINUTES
CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
MAY 15, 2017
The meeting convened at 5:33 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Gregg Lindberg, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Susan Sanger.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), City Attorney (Mr. Mattick), Inspection Services
Manager (Ms. Boettcher), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: Ruth Tripp and members of Hennepin County Public Health Department
1. Options for Tobacco Sales
Ms. Boettcher stated that at the March 6, 2017, Study Session, the council discussed possible
changes to the city’s tobacco licensing requirements. The discussion included survey results,
information from Hennepin County Public Health, and possible licensing options for council to
consider regarding limiting the sales of flavored tobacco to tobacco shops only. Ms. Boettcher
continued by noting that Edina had recently raised its sales age for tobacco products to 21. She
noted this is encouraging.
Councilmember Sanger proposed that the council direct staff to develop a license category for
tobacco-only shops and a maximum cap of no more than two licenses at any given time. Proximity
requirements would be preferred so tobacco shops would not be allowed within a specific distance
from schools. Additionally, Councilmember Sanger noted that flavored tobacco should be sold
only at tobacco stores; the penalties for non-compliance should be raised; and the age to purchase
any tobacco products should be 21. She hopes the council will consider directing the city lobbyist
to lobby for statewide 21-year-old tobacco purchase.
Councilmember Mavity stated she is excited that Edina has moved forward to raise the age to 21
for purchasing tobacco products. She added that she hopes the council will not get into too much
debate and conversation on this issue. She pointed to the evidence-based research on raising the
minimum age to 21. She added that she would support raising fees and lobbying for statewide age
change in order to help contribute to the momentum.
Councilmember Sanger added if the city were able to limit sales of tobacco only products to
tobacco only shops, it would cut back on the places teens could purchase tobacco. She added that
it has been proved that the use of flavored tobacco products leads teens to regular tobacco use.
Councilmember Lindberg asked staff about the city’s ability and the necessary resources to
increase the age to 21 and if it is in line with our current compliance policy. He also asked how
the city will be able to enforce the law. Mr. Harmening stated that if the city’s ordinance says age
21 is the law, he does not see it having a resource consequence. The police department would
continue to perform regular compliance checks.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of May 15, 2017
Councilmember Lindberg stated that because of Edina’s change, St. Louis Park should move
ahead, as well, and build on this momentum. However, he still has concerns about creating a new
category and limiting flavored products to smoke shops. He added if he were a business owner, he
would see this as an opportunity to open a smoke shop, possibly in the Texa-tonka area. Residents
there do not want that and are apprehensive about it.
Mr. Mattick advised that the city can be more restrictive on this and look further into this issue.
Councilmember Miller agreed that the most egregious issue is the flavored tobacco. He noted he
is on board with raising the age to 21 for purchasing tobacco products and trying to get flavored
tobacco products off the market because they bring kids into the world of tobacco.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he agrees with the elimination of flavored tobacco; however, his
view remains the same on raising the age to 21 for tobacco purchase. He does not think the council
was elected to raise the smoking age. Furthermore, he stated that taking this privilege away from
18-year-olds who can vote and go to war means they are not really an adult in St. Louis Park,
adding this does not make sense to him. Councilmember Hallfin added that he is against tobacco
products, but is in favor of personal rights. If the council approves an ordinance raising the age to
21 for tobacco purchase, it would be taking away the rights of 18-years-olds, and he is not in
agreement with that.
Councilmember Sanger asked about tobacco only stores in Minneapolis and St. Paul and if there
have been unexpected consequences there.
Jeanne Weigum, President of the Association for Nonsmokers MN (ANSR), stated she was
involved in the development of the St. Paul ordinance for tobacco and noted that St. Paul and
Shoreview have not seen any significant increase in the number of tobacco stores. She added that
typically tobacco stores tend to be unstable businesses that open and close. She noted also that
flavored tobacco makes up 2% of tobacco sales. Tobacco stores open for full tobacco product lines,
not primarily for flavored tobacco sales.
Mayor Spano asked if the violations cited in the staff report are typical. Ms. Boettcher stated the 5
establishments that failed compliance by selling to minors were an anomaly, and there was gross
negligence on the part of those businesses. Mayor Spano asked why the city is allowed 2 smoke
shops. Ms. Boettcher stated that the council can license any number of shops it wants. Mr.
Harmening added that the city has allowed 2 pawn shops in the past, so this may be where that
number came from.
Councilmember Mavity stated she supports moving forward on the sales for age 21. She stated the
council can then look at other issues, but added she does not want to wait a long period of time to
move ahead on this.
Councilmember Brausen asked when the Edina ordinance will be implemented. Mr. Harmening
stated July 1, 2017.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is in favor of the ordinance for flavored tobacco products;
setting up barriers to youth smoking; and the 21-year-old sales age. He would like to see a zoning
ordinance, as well, with a strong anti-littering requirement added related to ash trays, cigarette
butts, and other items that get into stormwater and are difficult to clean up. He added that he would
like to see a baseline on this and then see if there would be any impact.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of May 15, 2017
Ms. Boettcher noted there is baseline data from 2016 for suburban Hennepin County that staff can
provide to the council.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is in favor of the January 1 implementation date, stating that
would give the city time to notify the 23 businesses licensed.
Councilmember Sanger stated this is not a new zoning district issue. It is a licensing requirement
that would include the number of feet a tobacco shop would need to be from schools. She reiterated
that she is in favor of the 21-year-old age limit and also limiting tobacco only stores as the only
point of sale for flavored tobacco. She noted St. Louis Park is a leader and was one of the first
communities to prohibit smoking in restaurants and bars, adding she would rather not wait for
Hennepin County to take action.
To Councilmember Hallfin’s point, Councilmember Sanger stated that she understands what he is
saying; however, there are more people killed from tobacco than those killed in military service.
Councilmember Hallfin disagreed with her statement.
Councilmember Lindberg stated that he agrees with the 21-year-old age limit, noting this is
common sense. However, he does not like the idea of allowing tobacco shops that sell only flavored
tobacco. The city should ban these products if it can.
Councilmember Mavity stated St. Louis Park should align with Edina and implement this right
away.
Mayor Spano stated his concern about having enough time to communicate with the city’s 23
businesses. He would like to see the change in age limit set further out in order to let these
businesses know and allow them to provide the council with some feedback. He added that he feels
the city should ban flavored tobacco products in St. Louis Park; increase penalties; and implement
this on a date later this summer.
Mr. Harmening noted these 23 businesses deserve consideration, and the city needs to get their
feedback.
Councilmember Sanger asked Mr. Mattick how risky banning flavored tobacco from the city might
be. Mr. Mattick advised that the council has clear statutory authority to set the age limit to 21, but
when a community bans things, there is more of a concern. He noted it is better to reasonably
regulate. Mr. Harmening added that if the city limits flavored products, there will be some
inventory concerns.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he would like more data on this issue and more input. He prefers
not to rush into a decision that has implications on residents and businesses.
Mr. Harmening stated the council could move ahead on the age limit component and then work
further on the flavored tobacco regulation, with the hope that a direction will be set by the end of
summer.
Councilmember Sanger stated in order to start the conversation, the council will need a draft
ordinance from staff. Vendors will want to see this, also.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3b) Page 4
Title: Special Study Session Minutes of May 15, 2017
Mr. Harmening stated staff will have a draft in place by early June and will present it at a study
session. He added the city businesses will need to be made aware of this issue, also, and staff will
need to do follow-up.
The meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m.

everyone can use their talents to help in other ways - like planting a tree, helping with clean
up, and being a part of the Visioning 3.0 process. She noted those who are interested can
view the city website and Facebook page for more detailed information.

City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 5
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-097, approving the establishment of the Elmwood Apartments Tax
Increment Financing District within Redevelopment Project No 1 (a redevelopment
district).
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Miller opposed).
7. Requests, Petitions, and Communications from the Public – None
8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items
8a. Inclusionary Housing Policy.
Ms. Schnitker presented the staff report. She stated that in June, 2015, the council adopted
an Inclusionary Housing Policy that requires the inclusion of affordable housing units for
lower income households in new market rate multi-unit residential developments receiving
financial assistance from the city. The goal of the policy is to increase the supply of
affordable housing and to promote economic and social integration. Council expressed
interest in increasing the affordable housing unit requirements under the current policy. At
the March 18, 2017, study session, staff presented a proposal to amend the policy to
increase the percentage of affordable housing units required and to add a requirement that
developments covered by the policy must not discriminate against tenants who pay their
rent with government provided Housing Choice Vouchers or other local rent subsidies. The
council indicated they were in favor of amending the policy and instructed staff to return
to a future meeting for approval of an amended policy.
Ms. Schnitker noted the proposed increase of affordable dwelling units presented at the
March 18 study session is as follows:
1. Rental Projects: At least 15% of the units shall be affordable for households at 60%
Area Median Income, or at least 10% of the units shall be at affordable for
households at 50% AMI.
2. Ownership Projects: At least 15% of units shall be affordable for households at
80% AMI.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if this includes townhomes or condos. Ms. Schnitker stated
yes, for 10 or more units. Councilmember Hallfin asked Ms. Schnitker to elaborate more
on the income levels of families who might qualify. She explained that what a family pays
for a property would be no more than 30% of their entire income, not including a down
payment and only the cost of a standard mortgage.
Councilmember Brausen noted a family of four, with both adults working and making a
very low wage, still may not be able to afford the affordable housing, adding that this shows
just how pricy housing has become in our community. He stated his support to change the
percentage of affordable units from 15% to 18%.
Councilmember Mavity stated she agrees with this suggestion.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is fine with raising the percentage from 15% to 18% but
questions how this works practically in owner occupied housing and if down payments and
association fees would be covered, as well. Ms. Schnitker stated this policy would apply
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 6
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
only at the time of the initial purchase. She added if association fees go up, the purchaser
is responsible for paying the increased fees. Councilmember Sanger then asked if a lower
income person is paying for rent with Section 8 vouchers and they feel discriminated
against, what would be the remedy, who would enforce it, and how much staff time would
this involve? Ms. Schnitker stated staff would not get involved in determining whether
discrimination actually took place, adding that the renter would be advised to contact
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to investigate.
Councilmember Sanger stated she is fine with the percentage increases; however, when
affordable housing is provided, the TIF amount increases. She stated she cannot support
the policy with all of these many unknowns.
Councilmember Mavity expressed concerns related to discrimination based on the source
of funding for a family. She requested that something about non-discrimination for people
receiving public assistance should be added to the policy. She stated she supports additional
protection for residents to be treated fairly.
Mr. Harmening stated if a developer who received TIF does not accept Section 8, it would
be an act of default, and the developer then would not receive their TIF funds.
Councilmember Sanger stated that the concern here goes to what the process is for
determining if a landlord did discriminate and how much staff time and work is involved
in making these determinations.
Councilmember Mavity stated she wants to address the policy more broadly. She added
that she is excited about this policy and making housing affordable. She noted affordability
is one of St. Louis Park’s values, and she has concerns about a larger trend where we are
losing access to affordable housing in many areas, including at Meadowbrook Manor. She
stated the change in ownership has resulted in some improvements and modest rent
increases, but changes in tenant eligibility and how that is applied at Meadowbrook is a
concern. So there is a need to focus more on tenant protections. She thanked residents in
attendance at the meeting and for feedback from the community on this issue.
Councilmember Miller stated he supports Councilmember Brausen’s friendly amendment.
He noted the affordable housing in St. Louis Park allows for people to move into this
community and be closer to a larger city. He hopes this will be a way for lower income
individuals and families to be able to own homes, as it has been shown the primary way to
build equity and wealth is to own a home.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he also agrees with Councilmember Brausen’s friendly
amendment and credits staff for a fine job in working with developers to realize this vision
of the council. He stated that this policy works, and he will support it.
Councilmember Sanger stated that if a developer requests TIF, they must show eligibility.
She would prefer to move slower on this issue. She also stated that she would prefer to
spend this money to rehabilitate existing affordable housing units. There are many
apartments which are naturally occurring affordable units.
It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to amend
and approve the Inclusionary Housing Policy to increase the required percentage of
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 7
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
affordable housing units in new market rate multiunit residential developments receiving
financial assistance from the City and add a requirement that developments covered by the
policy must not discriminate against tenants who pay their rent with government provided
Housing Choice Vouchers or other local rent subsidies.
Friendly Amendment: Moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember
Mavity, to change the percentage of affordable units from 15% to 18% at 60% AMI, and
10% at 50% AMI.
The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Sanger opposed).
8b. SNAP Fitness CUP. Resolution No. 17-098
Mr. Morrison presented the staff report. He stated the applicant is requesting a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) to operate a Snap Fitness 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Snap
Fitness is currently operating in the commercial multi-tenant building located at 7210
Minnetonka Blvd., however, it closes at midnight and opens at 6 a.m. The applicant
maintains these hours because the property is zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial. In
this district, business can operate between the hours of 6 a.m. and midnight without a CUP.
The CUP is required if a business wants to operate outside these hours. He added that while
Snap Fitness is requesting to be open 24 hours, the typical customer is expected as early as
4 a.m. or as late as 11 p.m. The applicant does not propose any changes to the building or
property as a result of the request.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if there are any other comparable businesses that operate
24 hours in the city. Mr. Morrison stated there are not, adding that the applicant did operate
24 hours in a different location, and there were some issues there with noise and vibration
at that location. The complaints came from the residents living above the business. Since
moving to the new location last fall, there have been no problems because there are no
residents living above the business.
Councilmember Miller asked if the St. Louis Park Police have reviewed this CUP. Mr.
Morrison stated yes, and there are no concerns from the police.
Councilmember Sanger pointed to the noise complaints while the owner was at the former
location, asking what steps have been taken to minimize the noise at the new location. Mr.
Cherney stated he went to court on that issue, and it was addressed and corrected. He
continued that the new location is a stand-alone building, with cement flooring, and there
have been no noise issues. He added that his landlord is their next-door neighbor at the
location. Mr. Cherney continued that there has been no special mitigation other than his
staff’s and clients’ awareness not to drop heavy weights on the floors. He added that the
facility at the new location is more conducive to serving as a gym.
Councilmember Lindberg asked if the new location is staffed 24 hours. Mr. Cherney stated
no. They have staffed hours and non-staffed hours, with a magnetic lock for member-only
access to the facility.
Councilmember Brausen added that he appreciates the concern on the hours of operation
but noted that most people working out at night have worked a late shift and come to the
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 8
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
facility after work. These are typically nurses, doctors, and police officers. He has never
heard of there being any anecdotal issues.
Councilmember Lindberg stated he has been hesitant and a bit nervous as this facility is
very close to single family neighborhoods. However, the Planning Commission has fully
vetted this, and he will trust Mr. Cherney and his business to be a good neighbor.
It was moved by Councilmember Lindberg, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-098, approving a Conditional Use Permit to allow SNAP Fitness to
operate 24 hours, seven days a week with conditions.
The motion passed 7-0.
8c. 2017 International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local #993 Labor
Agreement. Resolution No. 17-099
Ms. Deno presented the information on the 2017 labor contract for firefighters. The
contract was for one year, 2017, with a wage increase of 2.75%. At this time, the group
was not interested in moving to the 85th percentile market position with adding a
requirement for above average performance to advance to the next step in the pay scale.
They would like more time to discuss this with the Fire Chief. This group will remain at
the comparable of market average. Employer contribution for benefits is the same as other
employee groups. Supplemental pay for Fire Prevention Specialist assignment is increased
by 2.75%. Modification to tramp pay language and clarification on clothing allowance was
also included.
Councilmember Hallfin asked if the city ever negotiates contracts which are longer than 1
year. Ms. Deno stated the city can negotiate up to a 3 year maximum, but more recently
they have been 1-2 year contracts.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-099, approving a labor agreement between the City and the IAFF Local
#993, establishing terms and conditions of employment for one year, from 1/1/17 –
12/31/17.
The motion passed 7-0.
8d. 2016-2018 International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local #49
(Maintenance Employees) Labor Agreement. Resolution No. 17-100
Ms. Deno presented the information on the changes to the union contract for Local 49 for
2016, 2017 and 2018. She noted the contract was originally for two years, 2016 and 2017.
With changes to the market comparison and compensation program, the city approached
the union to see if they were interested in discussing the new market comparison at 85th
percentile along with a statement about above average performance being required to move
to the next step of the pay scale. The union agreed to open the contract, adjust 2017, and
add one additional year, 2018. In order to move to the 85th percentile, it was estimated that
it would take a two years, 2017 and 2018, to keep the progression similar to non-union
staff and add an additional step each year. Language was added requiring above average
performance as determined by the Superintendent and Department Head in order to
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 9
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
advance to the next step. The general increase for 2018 will be 3%. Employer contribution
for benefits for 2018 will be set at the same rate as other employees.
It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Sanger, to adopt
Resolution No. 17-100, approving a revised labor agreement between the City and local
49 Union, establishing terms and conditions of employment for three years, from 1/1/16-
12/31/18.
The motion passed 7-0.
8e. Bid Tabulation: Carpenter Park Regional Stormwater Improvement Project
(4014-4001).
Mr. Elkin presented the staff report. He stated that the project has increased in cost from
what was originally expected, due to the findings of a detailed geotechnical evaluation. As
a result of recommended soil remediation, the estimated construction costs rose from the
CIP estimate of $1,025,000 to $1,630,097.50. Staff believes the benefits of this project still
outweigh this increased cost and are recommending the award of the project to the apparent
low bidder, Peterson Companies.
Councilmember Mavity stated she has been supportive of this project in general as it has
benefits for clean-up for the area and the park. She stated she does have concerns on the
cost escalations. She appreciates that staff has looked for external funding sources, but even
with that, she asked at what point it is too much. Additionally, she noted that on the budget
there is a 10% contingency line, which seems fairly low. She asked what additional
mitigations and soils research staff has conducted. Ms. Heiser stated that staff looked at the
project and cost escalations and is confident the cost increase will take care of what is
needed with this project. She added that the 10% contingency has been added consistently
for the past several years, noting the city has yet to exceed that amount.
Councilmember Mavity stated that as we approach these projects, it would be helpful to be
clear on costs, noting these increases are more dramatic than the council has seen in years
past.
Councilmember Brausen stated he is supportive and added there is a need to address the
city’s stormwater issues, noting that 84% of phosphorous is still going into the creek.
Residents need to be more mindful of reducing phosphorous that can get into the
stormwater system.
It was moved by Councilmember Sanger, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to
designate Peterson Companies, Inc. the lowest responsible bidder and authorize execution
of a contract with the firm in the amount of $1,753,460.49 for the 2017 Carpenter Park
Regional Stormwater Improvement Project – Project No. 4014-4011.
The motion passed 7-0.
9. Communications
Mr. Harmening noted there is a 3.0 Visioning survey that residents can fill out on line. He also
noted this week is national law enforcement memorial week, and the city’s police will remember
Officer Michael Pollitz this week, noting Officer Pollitz passed away 5 years ago, while on duty.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3c) Page 10
Title: City Council Meeting Minutes of May 15, 2017
Councilmember Hallfin reminded folks of the Grand Opening this Sunday, May 21, of the ROC
outdoor center at the REC center, and the Children’s First ice cream social from 2-5 p.m. He noted
that a majority of his colleagues will be scooping ice cream at the event, and invited all to attend.

Guest: Cindy Nagel, KOMA
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – June 2017
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed Study Session agenda for June, 2017. He noted there is no
meeting scheduled for Monday, May 29, as it is the Memorial Day holiday. Also, ranked choice
voting will be discussed at the June 5 meeting; the softball program will be discussed with the
softball association; and the task force and Parks and Recreation will be discussed at the June 12
meeting. Additionally, natural affordable housing will also be discussed June 12.
Councilmember Brausen asked if there was an update on the 40th and France property. Mr.
Harmening stated that it is being utilized as usual. Residents keep it clean, and the city has very
little going on there at this time. He added that the city is speaking with Edina about the possibility
of a dog park there in the future.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the council might consider a vote on the issue of changing the
legal age for tobacco purchase to age 21 at the June 26 meeting instead of June 19. She stated she
will be traveling on June 19 and would like to be present for the vote. Councilmember Hallfin
stated he would prefer to push it off to the next scheduled meeting, adding there is no need to hurry
this issue. Mr. Harmening stated that if the July 3 meeting is cancelled due to the holiday, this
topic could be discussed and voted upon at the July 17 meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated
he would be fine with doing a special city council meeting for this vote and holding it in council
chambers.
Councilmember Hallfin noted the consideration of council pay and stated that during an election
year this is typically discussed. He suggested that in light of all the work Mayor Spano does on
behalf of the city and the council, he might get a pay raise in 2018. Councilmember Hallfin stated
he would like the council to discuss this at a future study session. Mr. Harmening stated this could
also be discussed in July, adding that a pay increase is automatic for all of the council, but the
council can further discuss a larger increase for the Mayor. Mr. Harmening noted he will discuss
this with Mayor Spano first and then report back to council.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of May 22, 2017
2. Council Chambers Remodel Update
Mr. Harmening stated that the remodel plans for the council chambers need to be finalized soon
so construction can begin. He stated there is a need for a storage area for extra chairs, so a storage
closet was added on the north wall and will be integrated with the portraits of past mayors.
Additionally, ballistic material for the council dais was added, using a fairly inexpensive material
which fits the budget.
Mr. Pires and Ms. Nagel discussed updates on the technology components.
Councilmember Sanger asked about the monitors, noting that from the plans, it still looks like it
might be difficult for council members to see the monitor on the west wall. She continued that
people will need to turn their heads uncomfortably toward the monitor, and it makes more sense
to have the monitor on the dais in front of the council members.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the iPads which council members currently use can be connected
to Wi-Fi and the presentations shown on those instead of a monitor. Mr. Pires stated that from
previous meetings, staff understood council did not want to view monitors on the dais. However,
he added that this can certainly still be done. He added that as another option, a monitor could be
centered in front of the dais and be panoramic, and using individual iPads at the dais would also
be a possibility for council viewing.
Ms. Nagel explained that the ceiling monitor was problematic since the council would be looking
up and also trying to view the presenter at the same time. She stated the thought was to keep the
work surfaces at the dais all one level, in order to have a place to store cords.
Mr. Pires added that another option would be to leave the podium on the side, and have a stationary
lectern added with a single monitor in the center, in front of the lectern.
Councilmember Hallfin noted he has no problem with turning to the side, adding he trusts staff to
figure it out.
Ms. Nagel stated that her concern is putting too much in front of the dais and losing the aesthetic
feel of the room. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg agreed.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg noted Councilmember Sanger’s concerns, however, he added that it was
the council’s decision to not include monitors on the dais. He stated that in his own workplace,
this technology has had issues, and tech staff is always having to make corrections and changes,
which results in additional costs. He suggested not including monitors on the dais and stated he
likes the look of the dais in the current plan.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the southwest corner of the room is for video only. Mr. Pires
stated it is, and the room is for the council, planning commission, special training sessions, and
other events where recording may be needed.
Councilmember Brausen asked if there will be a coat room. Mr. Pires stated a coat rack can be
added, perhaps in the storage room.
Councilmember Sanger noted she also has concerns about the glass windows and doors on the
northeast side and feels it is a waste of money to use the electronic frosting on the glass. She asked
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of May 22, 2017
if a blind could be used instead, as she sees no value in the electronic frosting. Ms. Nagel explained
that the frosting helps so there can be minimal viewing through the glass to provide privacy during
trainings, etc. However, she noted that a blind can be put over the windows if that is the preference.
There would be no blind for the door.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg asked the cost difference between blinds and the electronic frosting. Ms.
Nagel stated the blinds are half the cost of the frosted glass. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated
because this is a multi-purpose room and while it is important for the glass to be transparent during
council meetings, for staff trainings or other meetings there is a need for less distraction, it would
make sense to use the frosted glass on these occasions.
Councilmembers Hallfin and Brausen agreed and were in favor of the frosted glass, as well.
Mr. Pires noted the monitor on the east wall will be a very large display, primarily for the audience.
He stated staff is currently looking at 3 to 4 high-resolution options, noting that this monitor will
provide for the display of maps, blueprints, etc., as well as for better viewing of more immersive
displays (e.g., 3D). He stated staff is currently reviewing comparative pricing on various display
options, and they will report back to the council as directed by the City Manager. He added that
staff will want to be cost effective and also allow for future display technologies.
Next steps involve completion of the full plan within the next week, with a planned start of
demolition in July, providing council accepts the current design. Construction is expected to take
3-4 months, with completion in November, 2017.
3. Solid Waste Program and Collections Services
Mr. Harmening stated that the solid waste program is discussed with council every 5 years, but
there is a need to discuss it now, before decisions can be made about a new hauler contract.
Mr. Merkley stated that staff would like council input on suggested changes and any new ideas in
preparation for the RFP process. He pointed out Attachments A – D in the staff report, including
a history of the program dating back to 1958. He added that staff would like to discuss the process
and timeframe for the future solid waste program and collection service contracts.
Councilmember Sanger stated the suggestions in the report are fine, but they do not go far enough,
adding that the city should do recycling pick-up each week and garbage pick-up every other week.
She asked if there is any data on multi-family housing garbage and recycling collection. Mr.
Merkley stated that data on multi-family housing does not currently exist, but work to collect
information will begin soon. Councilmember Sanger stated once that data is collected, it may
appear that multi-family housing is not doing as much recycling as it could be. If that is the case,
she would like to be more aggressive in promoting recycling.
Councilmember Sanger also asked why staff was proposing to eliminate the $3 credit for no grass
clippings in yard waste. Mr. Merkley stated there are 8,000 residents using this program, but there
is no way to monitor or manage it, so it would be a cost-savings to eliminate the credit. The savings
could be used to minimize future program cost increases.
Councilmember Brausen asked if the city could have a surcharge for grass clippings that are put
out for collection with yard waste.
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 4
Title: Study Session Minutes of May 22, 2017
Councilmember Sanger asked why the every-other-week pilot program will require residents to
have organics recycling. Mr. Merkley stated that staff has concerns over issues that could occur if
organic material like food waste is left in garbage carts and only collected every other week. He
added that weekly organics collection is available at no extra cost.
Councilmember Sanger pointed out, however, that some homes have no space for a garbage,
recycling and organics cart. She added that trading out the trash cart for a smaller one and then
having a large container for organics is trading one problem for another. She pointed out that she
does not collect organics but also does not put her trash out every week, adding she also has never
had a problem with animals. Councilmember Sanger stated this is a logistics problem that she
hopes staff will solve. She asked whether there is a need to put the smaller 20-gallon insert into
the 30-gallon size cart and if a smaller cart could be provided instead. Mr. Merkley stated he
understands Councilmember Sanger’s concerns; however, the containers must be this size as it
works with Waste Management trucks’ automated tipper on the back end of the trucks.
Councilmember Sanger asked that staff double check this. Councilmember Sanger asked if there
are plans in place for the proposed switch to compostable bag vouchers for use at local retailers.
Mr. Merkley stated staff is investigating this.
Councilmember Brausen asked if it is possible for data to be gathered weekly and if Waste
Management does periodic estimates of what is in the trash or the percentage of plastic packaging
found in trash. He added he believes disposable plastic packaging will need to be banned in the
future. He said that communities bear the cost of disposable plastic use, and merchants that use
plastic should be compelled to receive it back. Ms. Fisher stated staff receives monthly data on
tons of garbage collected and could break it down to weekly tonnage. Ms. Fisher noted that a recent
study identified organic material and textiles as two of the top four materials still being thrown in
the trash. Ms. Barker added that plastics are voluminous but light weight, and non-packaging
plastics are found to be more prevalent in the waste stream than plastic packaging.
Councilmember Brausen noted he is in favor of smaller bins for regular trash, and he would also
like to see bids on tiered service. He added that he would like to see every other week trash
collection and an upgrade option for weekly collection for households who need it in order to get
rid of diapers, for example. Councilmember Brausen stated he would like to create a plan to offer
existing multi-family housing the option of composting and would look to the Metropolitan
Council for help. He added if the city does not insist on it, it will not happen. He further noted the
city will need to follow up on the state law related to multi-family recycling as well.
Ms. Barker indicated the state has limited data on multi-family and lacks staff for enforcement.
She added that it is against the law for the city to be stricter than the state building code for space
required for trash/recycling rooms. Councilmember Brausen stated the city has lots of units that
are not required to do recycling, noting we need to have our lobbyists follow up, also.
Councilmember Sanger asked if the city can require multi-family buildings to buy into the city
service. Mr. Merkley stated that this is not currently being planned for, but staff is not ruling
anything out, adding that contracting for multi-family would be easier than commercial. He added
there is much the city can do for multi-family, and he understands this is the direction the council
would like to go.
Councilmember Brausen asked if there is data on restaurants and what they are doing with
organics. Ms. Barker stated that the city does not license food establishments. That is a Health
Department responsibility, but she noted that several restaurants - including Mill Valley Kitchen
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 5
Title: Study Session Minutes of May 22, 2017
– now have organics recycling to be in compliance with the Zero Waste Packaging ordinance. She
added that new restaurants coming into the city must follow the ordinance upon opening.
Councilmember Hallfin stated he likes the every other week option for garbage collection;
however, many people have alleys and don’t put their garbage cans in the garage, so it could be
problematic to have carts sitting for up to two weeks with garbage that attracts animals. He
understands about taking away the $3 credit, as some who are receiving it are not compliant.
Mr. Harmening asked if any other cities across the country have every other week garbage
collection. Ms. Fisher stated there are several U.S. and Canadian cities doing this, as well as
making organics collection mandatory or banning food waste from disposal in the garbage.
Mr. Harmening asked how a food waste ban is enforced. Ms. Barker stated these are difficult to
enforce. Ms. Fisher noted Seattle has a food waste ban and also conducted a pilot for every-other-
week garbage collection. The data showed that resident satisfaction fell because people expected
a greater drop in garbage collection fees than the 10% reduction that Seattle estimated, so the pilot
was dropped. Mr. Harmening added there are race equity issues to consider, and staff will research
this further, also.
Councilmember Hallfin noted that after attending a workshop for the National League of Cities in
Nashville, TN, he learned that southern cities are still collecting garbage 2-3 times per week and
some cities are using dirty MRFs to sort through garbage rather than residents sorting before set-
out at the curb. He stated that everything we are doing here is appreciated, adding St. Louis Park
is setting the bar high.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg asked about residents with alleys who keep their carts by the side of the
garage and if it is necessary for the city to prohibit that. Mr. Harmening stated that ordinance is
regularly violated and not enforced. Mr. Merkley stated the ordinance is outdated and will be
modified. Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg added, however, that if these containers are allowed to be
outside, they will need to be better secured.
Mayor Pro Tem Lindberg stated he understands all of the comments today and agrees from an
idealistic point-of-view. He added that if the city were to change to every other week trash,
charging people more for an upgrade to weekly trash collection significantly impacts our single-
family homeowners. Adding more fees and taxes is a concern regarding affordable housing. He
stated we don’t want to get to the point where rates become an issue for residents.
Councilmember Brausen said he does not want to price someone out of the market with fees, but
added that everyone has to be responsible for the trash they generate. We have to be willing to
curb the creation of trash, which can be done by making it more expensive for disposal.
Mr. Harmening stated that both Mayor Spano and Councilmember Miller are supportive of weekly
recycling pick up, and the next level smaller trash bin is preferred. He added that both had concerns
with discontinuing offering compostable bags because some bags that residents can purchase are
subgrade. Mr. Harmening added that Mayor Spano would also like the council to consider having
the city offer document shredding for residents. Mr. Harmening noted that Mayor Spano would
like staff to look at changing the language from garbage or trash to “landfill” – which has a
psychological effect – even though St. Louis Park trash is not landfilled but incinerated at the
HERC (Hennepin Energy Recovery Center).
City Council Meeting of June 5, 2017 (Item No. 3d) Page 6
Title: Study Session Minutes of May 22, 2017
Councilmember Brausen asked about the Fats, Oils, and Grease education proposed by staff. Ms.
Fisher stated that oil and grease plug up wastewater systems, including city lift stations, and added
that options for oil and grease include putting it in a glass container to dispose of. Ms. Fisher added
that the city will do education on this, as well as looking into recycling options.
Councilmember Sanger asked about the possibility of having organic drop-off points at centralized
areas in the city. Mr. Merkley stated there is a pilot project planned this summer for a drop-off for
multi-family residents. Ms. Barker added it will be monitored with the use of locks so that only
organic materials are disposed of in the containers.
The council agreed to Purpose, Goals, and Objectives outlined for the solid waste program and
staff’s proposal on timeline and process, stating it was fine to proceed with the plan presented in
the report.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Temporary On-Sale Liquor License – Parktacular Inc.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve a Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor
License for Parktacular Inc., for their celebration Rock the ROC to be held June 16, 2017, at the
Recreation Outdoor Center (ROC) in St Louis Park.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the application for a Temporary On-Sale Intoxicating
Liquor License meet the requirements of city code?
BACKGROUND: The Parktacular 2017 Community Celebration will be held June 15-18.
Parktacular, Inc., 3700 Monterey Drive, has made an application for a Temporary On-Sale
Intoxicating Liquor License for the Rock the ROC celebration scheduled for Friday, June 16, at
the ROC. Beer will be available during the hours of 6:30-11 p.m. The concert entertainment will
be provided by the band The Dweebs, covering classic and modern hits.
The Police Department has completed the background investigation on the main principals and
has found no reason to deny the temporary license. The applicant has met all requirements for
issuance of the license, and staff is recommending approval.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The fee for a temporary liquor license is $100
per day of the event which is funded by Parktacular, Inc.
VISION CONSIDERATION: The annual Parktacular Community Event supports the strategic
direction of being a connected and engaged community by increasing use of existing gathering
places.

Title: Temporary On-Sale Liquor License – Parktacular Inc.
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Parktacular is an annual celebration, with many sponsors and volunteers
promoting a spirit of pride, a sense of community, and an atmosphere of celebration for all
residents of the City of St. Louis Park. Various sponsors, along with Discover St Louis Park, have
donated funds to Parktacular to sponsor the Rock the ROC event, which includes entertainment,
food, and beverages.
Per State Statute 340A.404, Subd. 10, a Temporary On-sale Liquor License may provide that the
licensee can contract for intoxicating liquor catering services with the holder of a full-year On-
Sale Liquor License issued by any municipality. Parktacular has contracted with Steel Toe
Brewing to provide beer at the event during the hours of 6:30-11 p.m. to anyone 21 years of age
and older. Steel Toe Brewing currently holds an On-Sale Brewer’s Taproom License and a Micro-
Brewery Off-Sale Malt Liquor License. Steel Toe Brewing will be coordinating and providing the
staff required to check ID’s and wrist bands to ensure that no alcohol will be sold to minors. Police
officers will also be on duty at the event.
The required certificate of liquor liability insurance to cover the event will be submitted to the
Parktacular Board and the city liaison.
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: Many volunteers will be monitoring the crowd at the Rock the
ROC event. There will be a “dump bucket” at each entrance/exit. After the 11 p.m. closing, the
area will be cleaned. The Police Department has indicated that there have been no incidents
reported during previous Parktacular block parties.
NEXT STEPS: After City Council approval of the Temporary Liquor License application, the
State application is submitted to the Alcohol Enforcement Division of the Minnesota Department
of Public Safety for final approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Minnehaha Preserve Operations and Maintenance Agreement with MCWD
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) for the Operations and Maintenance of
Minnehaha Preserve.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Entering in to this agreement is consistent with past action of the
City Council.
SUMMARY: City Council received a summary and a copy of the full Minnehaha Preserve
Operations and Maintenance Agreement in a written report on May 22, 2017.
The city and MCWD partnered to construct the Minnehaha Creek Preserve Restoration project
(Minnehaha Creek Reach 20) which re-meandered the stream channel, planted more diverse
vegetation, treated storm water, and constructed boardwalks, trails, and bridges. The project was
funded primarily by MCWD, with contributions from City of St. Louis Park and a grant from
Minnesota’s Clean Water Legacy Fund. The project area opened to the public in 2015.
The city entered into cooperative agreements, easements and conservation easements with MCWD
for the project. These previous agreements indicated that MCWD and the city would prepare and
enter into a management plan for the project area. The management plan was to describe the
general expectations for operations and maintenance of the project area in more detail than
provided in the previous agreements.
MCWD and city staff prepared the Operations and Maintenance Agreement to fulfill the
expectations of the Management Plan, and to clarify the expectations and responsibilities for each
entity in the project area. This agreement is consistent with the previous agreements, and includes
but is not limited to, city maintenance of the paved trails and easterly bridge, and MCWD
maintenance of the boardwalk system and vegetation associated with the creek restoration.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The city budget already contemplates and
includes the proposed operations and maintenance activities, and the proposed agreement does not
further impact city budgets.
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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Tax Forfeited Lands at 2109 Parklands Road
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the purchase of 0.04
acres of tax forfeited land located at 2109 Parklands Road.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to purchase the tax forfeited land?
SUMMARY: Staff was contacted by the Tax Forfeited Real Estate Management division of
Hennepin County about the property located between city-owned right-of-way and city-owned
parks/open space. The parcel is 1,828 square feet (0.04 acres) and is located on Parklands Road,
adjacent to city owned land. The parcel is zoned R-1 Single-Family Residence.
The parcel on its own does not meet the minimum size requirement of 9,000 square feet for a
buildable lot. Therefore, it cannot be developed with a new home, and is best suited to be
combined with an adjacent parcel. The adjacent parcel is a 3.51 acre, city owned parcel. It is a
wooded ravine instrumental to facilitate local stormwater.
A site inspection was conducted. There are no utilities running through the parcel, and other than
some minor dumping of leaves, there are no visible concerns with the property. While this property
requires very little maintenance, city staff has been managing the property in conjunction with the
adjacent park and open space property by removing storm damaged trees as necessary.
Hennepin County is requesting $25 for the land plus fees for a total purchase price of $103.45. A
breakdown of the fees is attached.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Purchasing the property requires an
expenditure of $103.45.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Joint Powers Agreement with MPCA for Water Treatment Plant #4 (WTP4) Design
Transfer
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the
Joint Powers Agreement with the MPCA for the transfer of the 90% project design for Water
Treatment Plant #4’s (WTP4) treatment upgrade from the MPCA to the City.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to take the necessary steps to keep
this project on schedule for construction starting in 2017?
SUMMARY: SLP4 is a water supply well in the City of St. Louis Park’s local water distribution
system. The City removed SLP4 from service on December 28, 2016 due to concerns with
trichloroethylene (TCE) effluent concentrations that were above the health risk limits (HRL) but
below the maximum contaminant level (MCL). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
was tasked with designing a water treatment plant for SLP4 that reduces volatile organic
compound (VOC), and 1-4 dioxane, to below Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) established
health criteria.
MPCA’s design contractor, AECOM’s, existing work order only takes design for SLP4 to
submittal for MDH approval. It does not include creating construction bidding documents or
construction oversight. This Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) provides for MPCA to turn over the
SLP4 design to the City, so that the City can bid the project and begin construction of a water
treatment plant at SLP4. The City will be responsible for the cost of constructing the water
treatment plant. The City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and finds it acceptable.
A contract will be needed between the City and AECOM to advance the design to bid documents.
Staff expects to present the contract to Council for approval in July. Anticipated next steps are
outlined below (dates were delayed six weeks as MDH required more review time):
•June 30 – MPCA to submit MDH-approved plans to SLP
•July 31 – Engineering completes drawings / prepares for advertising using same consultant
•Aug. 21 – Request to Advertise (Council meeting)
•Sept. 18 – Request to Award (Council meeting)
•Oct. 2 – Construction Start (Expected completion Fall 2018)
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Anticipated design and construction costs for
the permanent upgrades are currently included in the City’s Capital Improvements Program for
2017. Based on the anticipated timing for construction we plan to issue a General Obligation Utility
Revenue bond in 2017 and 2018. Repayment of the bonds will be from the water utility enterprise
budget.

2.Statement of Problems, Opportunities, and Existing Conditions
The City of St. Louis Park (City) owns and operates a local water distribution system consisting of 10 production wells, 6 water
treatment plants, 2 ground-level storage reservoirs, 2 underground storage tanks, 3 elevated storage tanks, and an advanced
network of water main that spans throughout the City.
As part of the remediation of the St. Louis Park Solvent Plume, which is listed as a superfund site on the Minnesota
Permanent List of Priorities (PLP) under the Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 115B.01-.20,
the MPCA has prepared, through its contractor, a treatment system design to remediate contamination in a municipal water
supply well located in St. Louis Park (water well SLP4) after a health risk advisory was issued for SLP4. The health risk
advisory was issued for SLP4 by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) because the levels of vinyl chloride (VC)
exceeded the MDH health risk limit (HRL) and because the levels of cis-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE) exceeded the MDH health
based value (HBV). VC and DCE are two types of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The MPCA’s treatment system design
includes VOC removal, 1,4-dioxane removal (concentrations are detected, but are not currently above MDH standards), and
space considerations for the City to later add granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment, if necessary. The treatment system
design prepared by the MPCA’s contractor includes air stripper and advanced oxidation process systems to treat the
contaminates listed above.
In addition to being a water supply well, SLP4 is also a containment well that is part of the remediation of the groundwater

plume from the Reilly Tar and Chemical Corporation St. Louis Park Plant Site (Reilly Tar Site) The Reilly Tar Site is a National
Priorities List (NPL) site and a PLP site. Pumping rates for SLP4 as a containment well are specified in the 1986 Consent
Decree governing the Reilly Tar Site. The primary contaminant in the Reilly Tar Site groundwater plume is polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs). Because PAH concentrations were consistently below Consent Decree levels, the City received
conditional approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the MPCA to stop PAH treatment at well SLP4
in August 2016, contingent upon PAH monitoring that MDH conducts as part of its Safe Drinking Water Act compliance
testing.
The VOC detections in SLP4 are likely attributable to a chlorinated solvent plume that the MPCA has been investigating since
2004. The solvent plume (primarily VOCs) is listed on the PLP. The VOC plume is approximately 3 miles in length and
extends into the city of Edina, Minnesota. The VOC plume is being monitored using the same monitoring system network as
the Reilly Tar Site plume.
In consultation with EPA, MDH, and the MPCA, the City removed SLP4 from service on December 28, 2016 because the
water had concentrations of trichloroethylene (TCE) that were above the HRL but below the maximum contaminant level
(MCL).
MPCA initially sought bonding construction money for SLP4, but the bonding request did not pass. The City is seeking
alternative funding for water treatment construction at SLP4 so that SLP4 can again be used as a drinking water supply well
and to alleviate increased pumping demands throughout its system that resulted when SLP4 was taken out of service.
The work prepared by MPCA’s contractor only covers the design of the water treatment system for SLP4. It does not include
preparation of construction bidding documents, the construction of the treatment system, or construction activity oversight. All
work to implement the treatment system design will be undertaken by the City and a contractor chosen by the City.
The MPCA’s treatment system design, which is being turned over to the City for implementation under the Joint Powers
Agreement, does not include, and the MPCA is not responsible for, any improvements to the existing treatment system that
may have been required in order to shut down Water Treatment Plant No. 4 ahead of the construction of the air stripper and
advanced oxidation process systems. The MPCA is also not responsible for any costs associated with design changes that
may be needed to bring the existing treatment system back on-line after the construction is complete.
3.Goals, Objectives, Tasks, and Subtasks
*Goal:
Objective 1: Transfer the design of a water treatment system (air stripper and advanced oxidation process systems) for
SLP4 to the City of St. Louis Park to allow the City to prepare construction bidding documents to hire a contractor to
construct the water treatment system.
Task A: The MPCA will finish the SLP4 water treatment system design for submittal to MDH for approval. The design
will be transferred to the City once the design has been approved by MDH. The design work is being completed by
MPCA’s contractor under an already existing work order (AECOM contract 112103 and 122109).
Responsible Party: MPCA
Task B: The City will accept the water treatment system design that is transferred from the MPCA to the City for the
purpose of preparing bidding specifications, constructing, and overseeing the construction of the water treatment
design system.
Responsible Party: City of St. Louis Park
Objective 1 Timeline: May 2017-June 2017
Objective 1 Cost: $0.00
Objective 1 Deliverables: MPCA’s contractor will provide a design set plan for MDH approval. The design will be provided
to the City once the plan has been approved by MDH. The design set does not include any documents or activities needed
to implement the design, including bid specifications, construction documents, or construction oversight.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 681: France Avenue S. Traffic Controls for Shoreham Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution Establishing Traffic Controls on
France Avenue S. for the Shoreham Development project.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The traffic controls are allowed per the City’s established
regulatory authority.
SUMMARY: As a part of the city approvals of the Shoreham redevelopment at 3030 France
Avenue S., France Avenue was extended within the public right-of-way. The Planning
Development Contract specifies that the road is to be maintained and managed by the Shoreham
development. However, since the right-of-way is public, traffic controls need to be approved by
the City Council. Prior to redevelopment, the pavement in the right-of-way was a private driveway
that connected to the businesses. There are currently no restrictions within this right-of-way.
Staff recommends the installation of the following traffic controls:
1. Post 2-hour parking, between 6am and 7pm, Monday through Friday, on the west side of
France Avenue S. adjacent to the Shoreham development.
2.Install a stop sign for northbound traffic at the intersection of France Avenue S. and the
South Frontage Road of CSAH 25.
These traffic controls were reviewed as a part of the city approvals of the project and the Planning
Development Contract.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost to install the traffic control on the
street will be minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Public Hearing Agenda Item: 6a
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: SLP Pizza Company, Inc. dba Parkway Pizza - On-Sale Wine & 3.2% Malt Liquor
License
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to open public hearing, take public testimony, and close
public hearing. Motion to approve application from SLP Pizza Company, Inc. dba Parkway Pizza,
for an On-Sale Wine and 3.2% Malt Liquor License for the premises located at 6325 Minnetonka
Boulevard, with a license term through March 1, 2018.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the application meet the requirements of city code?
SUMMARY: The City received an application from SLP Pizza Company, Inc. dba Parkway
Pizza, for an on-sale wine and 3.2% malt liquor license for the property located at 6325
Minnetonka Boulevard. The licensed premises will be approximately 2,400 square feet in size
with indoor seating for 65 guests. No outdoor seating is proposed at this time.
Samuel Nestingen, Chad Fredericksen and Benjamin Crow are the owners of the business and will
share in the day-to-day management duties of the restaurant. The applicants intend to open for
business in June with hours of operation from 11 am to 10 pm Sunday - Thursday, and 11 am to
11 pm on Friday and Saturday. Parkway Pizza also has two locations in Minneapolis, both owned
and operated by the applicants.
A question was received from a resident regarding parking at the restaurant. The available parking
was reviewed by the Assistant Zoning Administrator and it was determined that because the
proposed floor plan and use remain substantially similar to that of the previous tenant (Beeks
Pizza), the city is required to approve the current legal non-conforming parking spaces. The
applicants were put into contact with a neighboring facility to discuss possible options for shared
parking within an existing lot. Staff will continue to monitor the situation to determine if any
additional action is necessary.
The Police Department conducted a full background investigation, and nothing was discovered
during the course of the investigation that would warrant denial of the license. Additionally, no
calls for service of concern or liquor related violations were found for the Minneapolis locations.
The application and police report are on file in the City Clerk’s office, should Council members
wish to review the information. The required notice of the public hearing was published on May
25, 2017. Should Council approve the liquor license, no actual license will be issued until all
requirements have been met with the City Inspections Department, Hennepin County, and the State
Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Fees include $500 for the background
investigation and $2,750 for the On-Sale Wine and 3.2% Malt liquor license. Pursuant to City
Code provisions, the license fee will be pro-rated for the remainder of the license term.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
