Title: Advancing Racial Equity Update and Council Discussion
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: Advancing racial equity and inclusion continues to be a high priority for
Council. Education with staff and elected officials, along with work in various areas began in
2016 when the City started participating in the program through the League of MN Cities along
with Center for Social Inclusion (CSI). The City continued to work with CSI and LMC in 2017
with another group of staff participating in the introduction to advancing race equity, and the group
that participated in 2016 continues with the advanced program. During 2017, city staff created an
equity toolkit, department action plans, St. Louis Park demographics map, the creation of TED
Talks-Advancing Racial Equity to support conversations within the city, and the city council
adopted a racial equity action plan. In 2018, the city’s first Racial Equity Coordinator was hired to
support on-going racial equity work within the city.
What is the current on-going and new work being done around racial equity?
The Racial Equity Coordinator along with Racial Equity Staff Liaisons, and leadership has
continued work that advances racial equity within policies, programs, activities, programs and
service delivery. Highlights of staff racial equity work:
•One year review, updates and evaluations of department’s racial equity action plans.
•TED Talks was renamed to Equity Talks in order to diversify the method of story sharing
and conversation guidelines were created to support brave spaces within the city for
conversations.
•VISTA Amercorps member was brought into the racial equity work for three months to
support the creation of a racial equity professional development outline for on-going
learning and skills development.
•Partnership with St. Louis Park Community Education for Fall 2018 Heart of the Matter
Community Conversations.
•Creation of three short-term Racial Equity Task Force (from staff liaison leaders) to explore
and develop standards of practice for racial equity conversations, including but not limited
to Equity Talks, updating racial equity employee brochure and creation of a professional
development advisory to support on-going learning within the city.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Boards and Commissions Council Discussion
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide time for council to discuss various aspects of boards and
commissions.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: What measures should be taken to insure a successful and
productive relationship between the council and its boards and commissions?
SUMMARY: The council desired time on a study session agenda to talk about boards and
commissions. In January 2017, council reviewed a work plan process and discussed a more defined
communication and reporting structure for boards and commission with council. Council has also
had past discussions with the Human Rights Advisory Commission about setting expectations for
their work and connecting with council. No formal changes were made at that time.
At this study session, time has been set aside for the council to discuss the city’s boards and
commissions:
•Board & Commission overview: number of boards and commissions, responsibilities,
members/representation.
o Historical perspective – how and when where these commissions created?
o Representation on commissions including youth and seniors
o Are there opportunities for changes/adjustments?
o Should the formation of a youth and/or a senior advisory commission be explored?
If so, why?
•Connecting with boards and commissions: setting direction for commission work and
scope of activity, how does council set expectations, responding to commission
recommendations
o How is this currently done?
o Are there opportunities to more clearly set expectations to ensure both council and
commissions understand reporting, work plans and communication?
•Other

Title: Boards and Commissions Council Discussion
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The city’s charter grants the council authority to form various boards and
commissions by ordinance, while other commissions are pursuant to Minnesota State Statute.
Boards and commissions serve in an advisory capacity to the city council and are given various
degrees of decision making power. Advisory boards and commissions may conduct work on
various topics, as directed by the city council, and may be asked to submit reports or
recommendations for council consideration.
Board and commission members, with the exception of the Charter Commission, are appointed by
the city council. Advisory boards or commissions may evaluate the performance of a program,
review/monitor/assess a specific program or policy initiative, serve as an advocate for the
community, gather input from or serve as a liaison with relevant constituencies, provide feedback
to the city council from the community, provide an independent and unbiased sounding board, and
assist city staff in identifying important initiatives or activities. Other possible responsibilities of
an advisory board or commission may include defining the goals, means, and primary constituents
to be served by a particular program or initiative, ensuring effective planning, monitoring and
strengthening of programs and services, and enhancing the city’s connection with all members of
the St. Louis Park community.
It is important for the city council to understand the history and make-up of all of the city’s boards
and commissions.
•The Board of Zoning Appeals, Environment and Sustainability Commission, Human
Rights Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Planning Commission,
Police and Advisory Commission and Telecommunications Advisory Commission are
outlined in Article IV. Boards, Commissions and Committees of the City Code.
•State statute provides guidelines for
o Charter Commission Minn. Stat. 410.05,
o Fire Civil Service Commission Minn. Stat. 420
o Housing Authority Minn. Stat. 469.001 to 469.047.
This report contains an overview of all city boards and commissions. It is important to review the
current structure of the boards and commissions in order to address any concerns or issues. Are
there opportunities for changes/adjustments to the current city boards and commissions?

OTHER CITIZEN GROUPS
Multicultural Advisory Committee
The Multicultural Advisory Committee (est. 2016) provides advice, suggestions, and assistant to
the St. Louis Park Police Department to aid them in better serving, communicating with and
understanding the many cultures that reside in, work in, or visit St. Louis Park. The Multicultural
Advisory Committee is part of the Joint Community Police Partnership (JCPP) project between
Hennepin County and the St. Louis Park Police Department. Committee members must live or
work in St. Louis Park (or have some other significant connection). There are currently 10
members, there is no limit on the number of members.
Community Education Advisory Council (CEAC)
CEAC makes recommendations on programming, budgeting and funding sources for St. Louis
Park community education programs for all ages, children and seniors alike. Its members represent
various interests in the community including the School Board, City Council, service
organizations, parks and recreation, health providers and businesses. The Council meets on the
third Tuesday of every month.
St. Louis Park Senior Program Advisory Council
The St. Louis Park Senior Program Advisory Council makes recommendations on programming,
budgeting and funding sources for St. Louis Park community education programs for seniors in
the community. Members must be or become members of the St. Louis Park Senior Program and
must be 55+. The Council meets on the second Tuesday of every month.
CONNECTING WITH BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
What is the current process?
In February of each year, the boards and commissions have an annual meeting with council to
present annual reports. Besides the annual report, there is no other formal universal structure for
board and commission communication with city council.
What opportunities are there for improving communication with boards and commissions?
In January 2017, council reviewed a formal work plan process and discussed a more defined
reporting structure for boards and commission and communication with council. There were no
changes made at that time.
Special Study Session Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 2) Page 8
Title: Boards and Commissions Council Discussion
Questions for consideration:
•Are there opportunities to more clearly set expectations to ensure both council and board
and commissions understand reporting, work plans and communication?
o Would a communication process that states the structure on how reporting to and
from council help with overall expectations of council and commissions? Would a
clearly defined process help when council requests a recommendation, research or
advice on an item or program be studied by a commission?
o Would this more clearly set up expectations and help with understanding of the
communication process and also help to ensure voices are being heard?
•Are there opportunities to realign some work of the commissions?
o For example, could the work of BOZA be done by planning commission?
o Are there other opportunities?
•Council would like to discuss youth and seniors as it relates to commissions?
o Both youth and seniors currently participate in various commissions.
o Is council aware that seniors have an advisory commission run by the school
district? The school district and children first have a number of committees or
groups.
o If additional advisory commissions for youth and/or seniors are created, what
would be the purpose of each? Would current membership in various commissions
be impacted? What would be the connection to council or reporting requirements?
NEXT STEPS: Staff will evaluate next steps based on the discussion and direction from city
council. We will also make some housekeeping recommendations on some updates to be more
consistent in the member make up and qualifications sections across all commissions.

Title: Economic Development Authority Minutes of April 16, 2018
Mr. Hunt presented the staff report, noting developers responsible for constructing the
Central Park West office buildings (CPW Phases IV and V) have requested to extend the
required construction schedule for these phases by 2 years to allow additional time to
prelease the buildings and attract equity investors. Additionally, the developer for CPW
Phase II has requested a 2½ year extension to construct the second apartment building.
Under the proposed Fifth Amendment to the redevelopment contract, the required project
commencement and completion dates for Phases II, IV, and V would be modified as
follows:
Phase II ~ Commencement date extended from October 2, 2017 to April 1, 2020; required
completion date extended from March 4, 2019 to April 1, 2022

LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL & EQUALIZATION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
APRIL 23, 2018

The St. Louis Park Local Board of Appeal and Equalization was reconvened at 6:00 p.m.
2. Roll Call – Declaration of Quorum

and Jake Spano.
Board Members absent: Steve Hallfin
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), City Assessor (Mr. Bultema), Mr. Bye (Associate
City Appraiser), Residential Appraiser (Ms. Clark), Commercial Appraiser (Ms. Nathanson), and
Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas).
Guest: Property Owners - Marjorie Kennedy, Elaine Mense, Seymour Pederson, and Tom Sanders
3. Acknowledgement of Trained Member (Brausen)

4. Acknowledgement of Assessing Staff Members in Attendance
The Board acknowledged Cory Bultema (City Assessor), Matt Bye (Associate City Appraiser),
Lisa Clark (Residential Appraiser), Bridget Nathanson (Commercial Appraiser), and James
Atchison (Hennepin County Assessor).
5. Review of Properties in Appeal
Property owner Ms. Kennedy, 9109 Westmoreland Lane, St. Louis Park, appealed her 2018 value
of $554,700. City Staff revalued the property to $541,000; however, Ms. Kennedy stated she felt
both the original assessment and the revalued assessment were too high. She noted several property
comparisons in her neighborhood and pointed to these examples as reasons for lowering her
property assessment.
Ms. Clark stated she reviewed Ms. Kennedy’s property, and recommended the reduction to
$541,000. She also pointed to several comparables she had reviewed in the neighborhood, which
led her to the reduction.
Board Member Miller asked if the home owners purchase price influences the tax assessed value.
Mr. Bultema stated the price goes into the pool of comparables, and the city updates the valuation
to reflect equitability with the rest of the community.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 2
Title: Local Board of Appeal & Equalization Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2018
Board Chair Brausen asked if the owners’ sport court is treated as part of the finished basement
and if it is included in the comparables. Mr. Clark stated no, it is only considered a feature of the
home. Chair Brausen asked also if the assessed value depends on the structure of the owner’s yard,
or the yard’s amenities. Mr. Bultema stated the city looks at the big picture of the yard, stating it
is mostly dependent on attributes within the neighborhood.
Board Member Mavity stated she understood Ms. Kennedy’s perspective and frustration; however,
as she reviewed the property and the inflation rate over the last two years, she is inclined to agree
with staff’s revaluation, and will support staff on this.
Board Member Rog asked Mr. Bultema if this assessment is higher as the home is in the Westwood
Hills area. Mr. Bultema stated yes. Board Member Rog noted staff’s revaluation is a relatively low
increase, and she also would support it.
Ms. Mense, 6712 Cedar Lake Road, submitted a letter to staff related to her property assessment.
She stated she has lived in her home for 60 years, on a busy street, and has not made improvements
to her home for many years. She is not in agreement with the city revaluation assessment of
$254,000, down from $265,500. She added this is not a quiet neighborhood any longer, as she
lives across the street from an apartment complex.
Mr. Bultema noted some of the transactions on Cedar Lake Road do warrant a slight reduction,
and staff uses Louisiana Avenue or Minnetonka Boulevard as comparables.
Board Member Rog asked if the Sienna Apartments, across the street from Ms. Mense’s property
affect the property value. Mr. Bultema stated staff has yet to see any impact from the apartments,
adding if there are issues, the market will speak to it.
Mr. Pederson, 2513 Princeton Ct., stated he is appealing the 2018 value of $341,500. Staff revalued
the property at the same amount of $341,500, after comparing like units and similar townhomes in
the area.
Mr. Pederson stated he has not made any home improvements since he bought the unit over 30
years ago and, therefore, does not believe his unit should be valued similarly to other updated and
more modern units in the complex.
Board Member Spano stated the appraisal noted by Mr. Pederson was completed in 2008, which
is 10 years old, and questioned Mr. Pederson on his argument that the property has not increased
in value at all in the past 10 years.
Mr. Sanders, representing apartment complex 36 Park LLC located at 3601 Park Center Blvd., is
appealing the assessment revaluation completed by staff at $46,080,000. Mr. Sanders pointed out
the apartment complex is struggling with occupancy and the income does not support the valuation
assessed by staff.
Ms. Nathanson stated staff reviewed sales within St. Louis Park and surrounding communities and
decided to decrease the value from $48,192,000 to $46,080,000. She added, however, the rental
market is robust currently and the 14% increase in valuation over 2017 brought the property in line
with the city’s Class A buildings.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 3
Title: Local Board of Appeal & Equalization Meeting Minutes of April 23, 2018
Board Member Mavity stated this is a lovely building with many amenities, and asked Mr. Sanders
why there have been challenges with occupancy at the property. She noted this is not a city issue
and asked if it could be related to management.
Mr. Sanders stated the units in this building are very small for a second-tier city and also the
building is lacking first floor retail/commercial, all of which could be factors in the low occupancy
rate. He added management has given concessions in order to get renters; however, net operating
income has still declined.
Board Member Mavity reiterated it is not the city’s job to look at the pro forma, adding she does
not see a compelling case here to lower the assessment any further.

CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA
APRIL 23, 2018
The meeting convened at 7:55 p.m.
Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Rachel Harris, Anne
Mavity, Thom Miller, and Margaret Rog.
Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Maria Carrillo-Perez, and Recording Secretary
(Ms. Pappas).
Guest: None.
1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – April 20, May 7 & 14, 2018
Mr. Harmening presented the proposed Study Session agenda for April 20, May 7 and 14, 2018.
Mr. Harmening noted the upcoming study session discussion on transgender and race equity,
courageous conversations and the HRC.
Councilmember Mavity asked about the Comprehensive Plan review of sections, and would there
be time to discuss again, after reviewing. Mr. Harmening stated yes, there will be time for further
review and wrap up as well.
Councilmember Rog mentioned bringing in Marsha Partington, a consultant with expertise in race
and gender equity issues. Councilmember Rog stated Ms. Partington is affiliated with St. Louis
Park community education.
Mayor Spano stated it would be useful to get a resume from Ms. Partington. Mr. Harmening will
check into this.
Councilmember Mavity stated she wants to be sure the race equity issue is reviewed through each
department, and not a general discussion only.
Councilmember Miller also noted there is a charter change needed, to reflect gender equality.
Mr. Harmening noted all public facilities will have gender neutral restrooms, as will the new nature
center. He noted that Alicia Sojourner could be another resource or advisor to the council on how
to operationalize gender and race equity issues.
Councilmember Miller asked for an update on where the school district is on this topic as well.
Councilmember Harris noted the Walker Lake historic district will be holding an update meeting
in early May.
Councilmember Rog suggested another study session item, that of adding a senior advisory
commission, similar to the youth advisory commission.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 2
Title: Study Session Minutes of April 23, 2018
Mayor Spano agreed and pointed out there needs to be more discussion about a youth advisory
commission, adding the iMatter youth are very interested in this, and ready to move ahead on it.
He added he would also like a discussion on guns in St. Louis Park, and potential conflicts of
interest of family members serving on commissions.
Councilmember Brausen would like to discuss encouraging all neighborhoods that merit $150
award grant, to do projects on environmental issues, while creating incentives for civic projects.
He added he would like to hand out LED lightbulbs to the community and look at this as seed
money to fund the climate action plan. Mr. Harmening stated there is $50,000 available for grants
to the community.
Councilmember Harris asked if any remaining amounts could be used to fund smaller projects or
events for neighborhoods that may not be as organized as others. Mr. Harmening stated the grant
program was created in order to incent neighborhoods to organize.
Councilmember Mavity added the neighborhood groups need to be more formalized and reminders
sent to them about responsibilities, while more training could be included. Councilmember Mavity
noted a recent article in the New York Times regarding minimum wage impacts and the overall
conclusion was positive, with incomes increasing. Mr. Harmening stated the city has some data on
employees that work in St. Louis Park, but added the vast majority that work here, do not live here.
Councilmember Mavity noted she still has some discomfort with sufficient protections being in
place, in St. Louis Park, related to immigrant residents. She understands the city must comply with
federal law, but still feels the city needs to be more proactive in this area. Mr. Harmening stated
the city follows what the law requires it do.
Councilmember Miller added he shares Councilmember Mavity’s concerns, but through the
discussions with Police Chief Harcey, his concerns were addressed. Councilmember Rog agreed.
Mr. Harmening suggested he, Councilmember Mavity, and Chief Harcey meet for further
discussion on this issue.
Councilmember Harris stated she would like to discuss the divesting of retirement investment
funds from fossil fuel companies, as a way to fund the city’s climate action plan. Mr. Harmening
stated he will look into this.
Councilmember Miller stated he has concerns about the Wooddale Bridge at Highway 7 and would
like to look at investing into traffic signals now, before final decisions are made related to the
bridge construction, and before the bike trails are added. He added there may be a cost savings if
this is looked at now vs. later. Mr. Harmening agreed this would be the less expensive option,
adding he will look into this.
Mayor Spano agreed with this, adding after staff reviews all problem area intersections, the city
will need to spend more money in the areas where there are the most safety concerns.
Councilmember Mavity agreed, saying the council and staff will need to be thoughtful about all
intersections in the city, adding there are many problem intersections. She stressed there will need
to be prioritization of intersections with safety concerns.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 3
Title: Study Session Minutes of April 23, 2018
Councilmember Rog noted there is need for discussion on stormwater management grants, and
total infrastructure construction costs in the Walker Lake area. Mr. Harmening stated there may
only be a range cost figure on the Walker Lake area, at this point, but that this will be presented to
the council in the near future.
Councilmember Harris also asked about building readiness for cities and financial/budget
considerations, and how ordinances will be implemented. Mr. Harmening stated the ordinance will
be triggered when there is a new project, and then design plans will need to be incorporated into
the project, and only then will permits be issued.
Councilmember Harris asked if utility lines will be put underground during the construction at
Texatonka Mall. Mr. Harmening stated it is doubtful as there will only be limited improvements
with this project.
The meeting adjourned at 8:51 p.m.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Dakota-Edgewood Trail Bridge Consultant Contract - Project No. 4019-2000
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize execution of a professional services contract
with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in the amount of $499,309 for the preliminary and final design
of the Dakota-Edgewood Trail Bridge, Project No. 4019-2000.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is this project consistent with the Connect the Park plan? Does
the City Council wish to continue to implement the Connect the Park plan?
SUMMARY: The City submitted an application through the 2016 Regional Solicitation for
funding to construct of a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over the BNSF Railroad at Dakota and
Edgewood Avenue. The city’s application was successful and we have been awarded $2,918,400
of federal funds from the Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council.
Due to the complexity of the project and associated federal funding staff solicited request for
proposals (RFP) from four (4) consulting engineering firms. Three (3) proposals was received for
this project. SEH chose not to submit a proposal. A summary of the proposals received is shown
below:
CONSULTANT AMOUNT
SRF Consulting Group, Inc. $499,309
TKDA $617,987
Kimley-Horn $739,655
The proposal provided by SRF Consulting Group, Inc. was very thorough and showed that they
had a clear understanding of the project. Staff has reviewed the cost proposal provided by SRF
Consulting Group, Inc. and they are within typical engineering ranges for preliminary and final
designs.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: This project is included in the City’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for 2019. At this time the project is proposed to be funded using General
Obligation Bonds as part of the Connect the Park program. The federal funding in the amount of
$2,918,400 will be used to offset a portion of the expected construction costs.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: The Connect the Park plan proposed grade separated pedestrian and bicycle
crossings of the BNSF railroads at two (2) locations within the city. One is located adjacent to
Highway 100 near West End and the second is proposed at Dakota Avenue/Edgewood Avenue.
This location is adjacent to Peter Hobart Elementary School, Dakota Park, and Nelson Park. The
railroad is a significant barrier for north-south pedestrian and bicycle mobility through the center
of the city.
In 2014 the city applied for federal funding through the Regional Solicitation to help fund the
construction of the proposed bridge. The city was not successful in receiving funds at that time.
The city resubmitted an application in 2016 that was successful in securing $2,981,400 of federal
money to help fund the bridge construction. The total project cost of the bridge is expected to be
between five and six million dollars. Our current Capital Improvement Program has four million
dollars allocated for this bridge. The combination of the federal dollars and our local funding is
expected to be sufficient to cover the project costs.
Proposal Evaluation
SRF Consulting Group’s contract covers all preliminary and final plans for the project. Another
contract will be needed to complete construction administration.
Proposed Schedule
The following is the proposed project schedule:
Concept plan development July-August 2018
Environment documentation August-September 2018
Preliminary design August-September 2018
Right of way/Easement acquisition Fall 2018
Final plans October 2018-April 2019
Construction Summer 2019-Fall 2020
Dakota Avenue Bikeway
As part of this contract, the consultant will prepare the designs for the following improvements:
•A bikeway on Edgewood connecting Cedar Lake Road to Dakota Avenue (over the new
bridge)
•The bicycle / pedestrian bridge over the BNSF railroad right-of-way.
•A bikeway connection through Dakota Park from the bridge to 26th Street.
•A bikeway on Dakota Avenue from 26th Street down to the intersection of Lake Street/
Dakota.
•A bikeway on Wooddale Avenue between Lake Street and Highway 7.
•A sidewalk along Edgewood Avenue from the north end of the bridge up to Cedar Lake
Road.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Ordinance Amending St. Louis Park City Code Sec. 2-332 Related to the Membership
Terms of ESC
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve second reading and Adopt Ordinance
amending Sec. 2-332 of the St. Louis Park City Code related to the membership terms of the
Environment and Sustainability Commission and authorize publication of the summary ordinance.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Will the proposed changes help provide for a stable and
productive commission?
SUMMARY: Over the past several years the city has had difficulty recruiting and filling the
business and residential tenant member positions on the Environment & Sustainability
Commission. During the most recent annual appointment process, the city received no applications
for either the business or residential tenant member positions on the Environment & Sustainability
Commission. On April 30, 2018 the council discussed possible changes to the membership terms
that would allow for the currently vacant positions to be filled and for the commission to have a
full membership.
A 13-member Environment & Sustainability Commission was created in 2013 via Ordinance No.
2438-13. The membership terms for each of the positions are set forth in City Code Sec. 2-332.
The bylaws of the Environment & Sustainability Commission do not address membership
requirements. The Rules & Procedures for Boards and Commissions also contain general
membership requirements for all boards and commissions, including the Environment &
Sustainability Commission.
Following their discussion, council directed staff to move forward with an ordinance amendment
that would achieve the following:
•Remove the definitions for business and residential tenant members
•Change the business and residential tenant member positions to “regular members”
•Add language that communicates the council’s continued desire to have representation on
the commission from both the business and rental communities, noting that preference will
be given to such applicants.
•Make it clear that owners or representatives from businesses in St. Louis Park need not be
residents of the city to serve on the commission.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Resolution Supporting Existing Parking Restrictions on W. 28th Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing installation of “No
Parking” restrictions along W. 28th Street from Brunswick Avenue to Blackstone Avenue.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The authorization of parking restrictions is allowed per the City’s
established regulatory authority.
SUMMARY: On September 18, 2017, parking restrictions were approved by Council for the
bikeway installation on W. 28th Street, Texas Avenue, and Virginia Avenue. This action rescinded
a resolution that included existing parking restrictions from Brunswick Avenue to Blackstone
Avenue on W. 28th Street. The new resolution, 17-139, unintentionally did not include re-
authorizing this segment of “No Parking” restrictions.
The attached map shows the location of the existing parking restrictions at the railroad tracks. The
parking restrictions on W. 28th Street at this location have been in place since 2002. They were
installed to ensure adequate sight lines for the safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians near the
Canadian Pacific Railroad tracks.
Staff recommends the re-authorization of these existing parking restrictions through the attached
resolution.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: There is no new cost to enact these parking
restrictions; these no parking signs are already installed.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Traffic Study No. 692 (Revised): Modify Parking Restrictions on Park Commons
Drive West of Quentin Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution modifying parking restrictions on
the north side of Park Commons Drive from Quentin Avenue to the Park Nicollet access road.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The authorization of parking restrictions is allowed per the City’s
established regulatory authority.
SUMMARY: On February 20, 2018, Council approved parking restriction changes in the area
surrounding the intersection of Park Commons Drive and Quentin Avenue. The intent of this action
was to lift parking restrictions on the north side of Park Commons Drive from Quentin Avenue to
the Park Nicollet access road. This was reinforced with the map in the February report. Attached
is the Council Agenda item from that meeting.
As part of this action, the engineering staff recommends rescinding Resolution 18-028 and 6344
and approving this revised resolution with the intended parking restriction modifications.
The approved Resolution No. 18-028 did not lift the parking restrictions on this segment of Park
Commons Drive, rather it affirmed them. In order to correct this, staff has prepared a new
resolution that lifts the parking restrictions on Park Commons Drive at that location.
The original resolution, 6344, includes outdated sections of the old W. 39th Street now called Park
Commons Drive and Auto Club Way when it passed through the current Park Nicollet properties.
The intent is to leave the existing parking restrictions as they are on Auto Club Way east of Park
Center Boulevard.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The cost to enact the parking restriction
modifications is minimal and will come out of the general operating budget.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Assessment Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution rescinding Resolution 16-094 and
approving updated City Assessment Policy.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the proposed amendment to the assessment policy consistent
with the city council’s intent?
SUMMARY: The city council directed staff to draft a policy to guide responses to petitions for
special assessments against private property in order to defer the costs of the Metropolitan Council’s
sewer availability charges (SAC) and City of St. Louis Park’s water availability charges (WAC).
The city collects SAC and WAC at the time that building permits or certificate of occupancies are
issued. The Metropolitan Council determines the number of SAC units that are due for a project
based on the use and proposed building plans. A SAC unit is the equivalent of a single-family
house.
The city’s assessment policy was last updated on August 1, 2016 and adopted by resolution. It
generally addresses assessments for public improvement projects. It also addresses fire sprinkler
systems installations in private buildings. The assessment policy excludes improvements that are
already regulated by city code.
The proposed amended policy was provided in a written report to city council at the May 14, 2018
study session. No comments or concerns were expressed by councilmembers. The policy allows
property owners to petition the city to have costs associated with SAC and WAC assessed against
their property, in order to defer payment of up to 25 SAC units over a term of either one year, five
years or ten years. The policy proposes to limit eligibility to only properties that are occupied by
a non-profit organization engaged in activities that serve a public purpose, such as charitable
organizations or organizations that benefit veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Also, only
the SAC and WAC associated with the non-profit organization’s proposed use would be eligible.
The city council approved a similar petition from the Paul Revere Masonic Center LLC to assess
the SAC and WAC for 14 SAC units that were due for the American Legion’s proposed use.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The 2018 Metropolitan Council’s SAC rate
is $2,485 per SAC unit. The city’s 2018 WAC rate is $750 per SAC unit. The 25 SAC unit cap
limits an individual petitioner’s request to $80,875 in 2018. The city does not anticipate frequent
petitions under this policy, as most projects will account for these costs in other construction or
operations budgeting and financing. Approval of any petition would be subject to a determination
by the City Council, in its sole discretion, that sufficient City funds are available.

Engineering Department
Amended June 4, 2018
I. Introduction
A special assessment is a levy on a property for a particular improvement that benefits the
owner(s) of the property. The authority is provided to cities through MN Statutes §, Chapter
429. Special assessments assign cost of the improvement to those receiving a direct benefit
from the improvement.
Assessment amounts are based upon the total cost of the particular improvement and are
allocated by the Council as guided by this policy. The amount assessed against any particular
parcel shall not be greater than the increase in the market value of the property due to the
improvement.
The City Council has the authority to deviate from this policy as deemed appropriate by the
Council or when the law requires such a deviation. When the City deviates from the policies
identified in this document, it will identify the reasons for the deviation in the feasibility
report or at the public hearings associated with the public improvement.
This policy does not supersede or replace assessment references in the City Code.
II. Improvements to be Assessed

total project cost may be levied as a special assessment to benefitting properties in
accordance with this policy. The assessment will be levied on a project specific
basis.
b. Maintenance Costs
Annual, seasonal, and preventative maintenance are performed by the City. The
total cost may be assessed to benefitting properties on an annual basis.
2. Benefitting Properties
The following information will be used to determine the benefitting properties and the
number of stalls to assign to each benefitting property for the assessment rate:
a. A parking study will be completed to determine the parking lot users. Benefitting
properties are ones that have customers or employees that are using the lot.
b. A land use review of surrounding properties will be done to determine parking
ratios required by City Code and prior approvals. This is done to determine if the
properties have adequate private parking. If a property does not have adequate

Title: Assessment Policy
private parking or if parking spaces in the lot were counted to meet their parking
ratios, they will be considered a benefitting property.

The assessment rate shall be per parking stall. To calculate this rate, the total cost
will be divided by the number of stalls in the parking lot. Each benefitting property
will be assigned a number of stalls within the parking lot.
This rate will be applicable to all reconstruction or rehabilitation projects and annual
maintenance costs.
The stall assignment is for assessment purposes only. The parking stalls are not for
exclusive use of the properties assessed.
B. Fire Sprinkler Systems
Property owners may petition the city to assess the costs install a fire sprinkler system in

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Special Assessment – Sewer Service Line Repair at 3931 Joppa Avenue South
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing the special assessment
for the repair of the sewer service line at 3931 Joppa Avenue South.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously
established by the City Council.
SUMMARY: John Madison and Claudia Johnston-Madison, owners of the single family
residence at 3931 Joppa Avenue South, have requested the City to authorize the repair of the sewer
service line for their home and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s
special assessment policy.
The City requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water or sewer
service lines for existing homes was adopted by the City Council in 1996. This program was put into
place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like this are
unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed, submitted,
and approved by City staff. The property owners hired a contractor and repaired the sewer service line
in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work, this repair qualifies
for the City’s special assessment program. The property owners have petitioned the City to authorize
the sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total eligible cost of the repair
has been determined to be $5,400.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The City has funds in place to finance the
cost of this special assessment.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

TITLE: Boy Scout Troop Temporary Signs in Public Right-of-Way
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution authorizing Boy Scout Troop 282’s
request for placing temporary signs in the public right-of-way.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: None at this time.
SUMMARY: The Boy Scout Troop 282 requests installation of temporary signs in the public
right-of-way for their annual Waffle and Sausage Breakfast event. The Council granted a similar
request for Boy Scouts Troop 282 last year, and for the Lion’s Pancake Breakfast every year since
2005.
Section 36-362(e)(2) of the Zoning Code states that prohibited signs include, “Signs on or over the
public right-of-way unless the City Council grants permission for a temporary sign on or over the
public right-of-way for a period not to exceed ten days.”
The requested signs advertise the Waffle and Sausage Breakfast event scheduled for Sunday
morning, June 17, 2018. This activity is a fundraiser for the Troop. The request is to install 11
sandwich board style signs as early as June 7, 2018. Approximately 20 small stick-in-the ground
signs will go up a week prior to the event. The signs will be removed on the day of the event.

Comcast technologies. This item was deferred to the next meeting at Comcast’s request.
B. Franchise renewal overview & plans for 2018
Mr. Dunlap gave an overview of the process with a PowerPoint presentation. Franchise renewal
is a three year process, and the franchises for Comcast and CenturyLink both expire in early
2021. Comcast has provided notice that they want to renew their franchise, but CenturyLink has
not, as yet.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 2
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of March 14, 2018
Chair Levine has asked if the city has solicited other companies, like Verizon, to see if they
would want a franchise in St. Louis Park. Mr. Dunlap said that the current franchises are non-
exclusive, but we haven’t contacted other companies. Mr. Dunlap listed several common renewal
activities, including past performance evaluation, franchise and technical reviews, community
surveys or focus groups and PEG access reviews. The city intends to have Brian Grogan as the
primary consultant.
Ms. Larson said that a next step would be to set up a work session with the City Council to get
feedback from them, and a Commission subcommittee would be helpful to prepare for that
meeting and assist in answering questions.
Commissioners Munson, Browning and Hoffman volunteered for the franchise renewal
subcommittee, and Chair Levine said that since Commissioner Browning is on the Smart Cities
subcommittee, to allow Commissioners Munson and Hoffman to serve on this one.
C. Review annual report to Council & feedback from meeting with Council
Mr. Dunlap and Commissioners Munson and Hoffman commended Commissioners Anderson
and Browning for doing a great job updating the Council and other Commissions. Mr. Dunlap
said that since some topics overlap Commissions, he’ll provide a monthly list of Commission
meetings in case our members want to attend any of those meetings. Commissioner Hoffman
asked if other Commissioners could possibly attend our meetings, and if there was a procedure to
invite them. Mr. Dunlap agreed that was a good idea, and he’d contact other liaisons about it.
Commissioner Browning said that Councilmember Rog provided a contact person to recruit a
youth commissioner, which would be need to be appointed by the City Council. Ideally it would
be a sophomore who’d be around for a while, as compared to a senior who would be gone in six
months.
Commissioner Dyer asked if there was any incentive that could be offered the students. Chair
Levine said that when applying for college, this would be a good activity to add.
D. Review Comcast compiled complaint log
Commissioner Browning said that many complaints relate to costs, or billing, and that the billing
system lags changes that have been made by Comcast staff. If that could be improved it would
help the customer experience with customer service.
Chair Levine said that it’s extremely difficult to build billing systems to accommodate all the
requirements, so he likes that there’s an ombudsman to help customers.
Commissioner Browning asked if gigabit service was now available city-wide? Mr. Dunlap said
that was his understanding, and Commissioner Munson said he’d received notice that his home
was eligible. Chair Levine said that anything over 150 megabits service uses the same equipment
as the gigabit service, making it easy to upgrade to faster service. He said that those modems
come with only two Ethernet ports, and so some customers may need an Ethernet switch if they
are powering three or more devices. Commissioner Dyer said they cost about $20.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 3
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of March 14, 2018
Commissioner Browning said CenturyLink has two modems available, with either two or four
Ethernet ports.
E. Review CenturyLink fourth quarterly meeting memo and complaint log
Commissioner Browning said there was a complaint at this event that a solicitor had offered a
special rate on high speed service, but as it turns out, that service wasn’t available at that
household. CenturyLink has installed more fiber in the city so more customers can get the 25
megabits per second service required to get Prism TV, but it’s still not available everywhere. He
sees complaints about costs and billing for both CenturyLink and Comcast on Nextdoor.
CenturyLink is still a new entrant, and the maps show they are making headway.
Commissioner Dyer said that he respectfully disagrees. He’s seen Nextdoor complaints about
CenturyLink bait and switch tactics, where a service was first offered and not available for the
stated price, and that’s a concern. Chair Levine said that such complaints raise two points—that
it’s not good for CenturyLink and not good for the city since we franchise them. Mr. Dunlap said
city staff had received no CenturyLink complaints this quarter, and that CenturyLink and the
Minnesota Attorney General’s office were negotiating a settlement to the bait and switch
complaints.
Mr. McHugh said that CenturyLink staff has said that all advertising by CenturyLink is nationally
based, so the local staff has no influence.
Commissioner Munson asked if there was a way to pull the solicitation permits, to determine if
the solicitors were employees or contractors? And if there isn’t that level of detail in the permit
process that there is an opportunity for improvement there. Mr. Dunlap said yes, that solicitors
must register with the city so it could be checked.
Ms. Larson said the city staff are administrators on Nextdoor, and can post messages to it, but we
cannot see what’s going out on Nextdoor in the community. To assure privacy, and that we are
not escalating beyond what a commenter prefers, that if you feel comfortable doing so, to suggest
that they contact Reg and give the phone number, so we can speak directly with them.
Commissioner Hoffman asked if it says to contact Reg with complaints on the CenturyLink bill,
like it does on the Comcast bill? Commissioner Browning said he hadn’t noticed but will check
on it.
F. ParkTV marketing, programing & equipment report for 2017
Mr. Dunlap said that new terrific cameras have been ordered for the ParkTV production van that
can use fiber optic cables which are lighter and easier to run. We have installed fiber optic cables
in the Recreation Outdoor Center and later this year will install fiber at the high school stadium
as well, which is really great for the many productions done there. ParkTV produced 315 shows
last year and over 368 hours of new programming so we stay busy. Commissioner Browning
complemented staff on an amazing amount of work.
Commissioner Munson said there was a difference in the number of HD channels on
CenturyLink and Comcast, and what’s the plan to address that? Mr. Dunlap said that the first
HD channel on Comcast was last April, the result of negotiations related to the possible transfer
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 4
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of March 14, 2018
to Great Land. The opportunity for the next HD channel would be one year later, and we’ve been
verbally told they’d have to receive something to offer another HD channel. The ParkTV HD
channel is 859, is programmed as a best of ParkTV channel and it’s important that we continue to
brand that channel. Virtually all ParkTV productions have been in HD for years with John
making the switch last fall.
Chair Levine asked about marketing ParkTV? Ms. Larson said a University of Minnesota student
approached us to do her capstone marketing project, so she’s doing a strategic marketing plan for
ParkTV. One way she’s gathering information is through survey questions via Nextdoor, social
media and the web site.
G. Smart Cities subcommittee update
Commissioner Browning gave a summary. The subcommittee was in the early stages, and that
he was trying to track down the best definition, since it’s hard to define what smart cities really
means. When we look at other cities that take advantage of internet access and Wi-Fi, larger
cities are using it for parking and traffic control, which makes sense in San Diego or Los
Angeles. We’ve talked about some things that we could do to start out simply, and some of this
falls under other commissions, like having charging stations for electric cars. Ms. Larson said
this was part of the kick starter project as part of the recently passed Climate Action Plan.
Commissioner Browning said another example was replacing burned out street lights with
LED’s, which are brighter and use less energy, or installing cameras on light poles. Other ideas
are making internet service more affordable, and using the internet for medical services.
Transportation came up in the Vision 3.0 process, how to make it easier for people to get around.
Using your phone to find out when buses will arrive. Mr. McHugh said that some bus stops have
upgraded signage that identifies the stop by number, and you can text that number to the MTC
and it will reply with when the next bus will arrive. He said the city could add information about
parks or buildings near that bus stop.
Commissioner Hoffman said there was an app called OMG transit that would pinpoint where you
were standing and tell you how long before your bus arrived.
Commissioner Browning said that an app to show where snow plows were at a given time could
be a possibility. Commissioner Munson said there is an environmental angle as well, to identify
how much salt has been laid down, and whether more is needed, to reduce the amount of salt that
goes into the wetlands.
Commissioner Browning said that he didn’t know what percentage of people in the city are using
the internet. He suspects that families with kids in schools are all over the internet, but is not so
sure about older residents. Mr. McHugh said that a senior that used the Senior Video Club today
goes to the library to use the internet because he doesn’t have a computer at home.
Commissioner Dyer raised the issue of pedestrian traffic on Belt Line and Wooddale.
Commissioner Browning said the city plans to widen the Wooddale Avenue bridge this year.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 5
Title: Telecommunications Commission Meeting Minutes of March 14, 2018
Ms. Larson said that she thinks the next step for the subcommittee will be to meet with city staff
because the city is already doing some of the things that have been discussed. Chair Levine
requested that Mr. Dunlap set up the meetings.
Commissioner Munson said he was at the Gartner Data and Analytics Summit last week in Texas
and there was a lot of great information on IOT (Internet of things) that he could share.
Commissioner Browning said that in the last CenturyLink meeting he found out that the city of
Richfield is completely wired with fiber to the home, thanks to a series of large street projects.
Chair Levine said that St. Louis Park missed that opportunity when they were digging up piping a
few years ago, and nobody put fiber in.
7. Communications from the Chair, Commissioners and City staff
Mr. McHugh distributed the latest list of TV 15 premiers. He said that Commissioners all
receive ParkTV schedules, and that soon he’ll include a streaming link for ParkTV at archive.org,
which has been independently archiving programming uploaded to You Tube, and they now have
1600 ParkTV programs. You can you stream or download them there, and the videos are a bit
more compressed there than on You Tube. He also mentioned the My St. Louis Park app has a
ParkTV icon that brings you to the latest program uploaded to the You Tube page.
Ms. Larson said that an intern in the Propel program selected ParkTV for his internship, that he’s
a St. Louis Park resident that goes to school in Hopkins, and after working with Jermaine and
Reg, his final project will be a PSA for the Police Department.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: MnDOT Cooperative Agreement – Wooddale Avenue at Highway 7
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Adopt Resolution approving the Cooperative
Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for the modifications to
the Wooddale Bridge at Highway 7 – Project No. 4019-9007.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council wish to continue to proceed with
modifications to the Wooddale Bridge over Highway 7?
SUMMARY: On May 4, 2018, the council passed a resolution approving plans and specifications
and authorizing an advertisement for bids for the Wooddale Bridge Modification Project. Because
the project is within MnDOT right-of-way and the bridge is under the jurisdiction of MnDOT, the
city is required to enter into a Cooperative Agreement prior to opening bids for this project.
The cooperative agreement is similar and consistent with cooperative agreements for other projects
that the City has entered into with MnDOT in the past. Essentially, the agreement continues the
existing city maintenance responsibilities from the agreement approved for the construction of the
interchange in 2009.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: The estimated total project cost for the modifications to the
Wooddale Bridge is estimated at $2.45 million. The funding for this project is from available tax
increment funds from the Elmwood TIF District

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC dba Chipotle Mexican Grill - On-Sale
Intoxicating and On-Sale Sunday Liquor License
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor to open public hearing, take public testimony, and close
public hearing. Motion to approve application from Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC dba
Chipotle Mexican Grill, for an On-Sale Intoxicating and On-Sale Sunday Liquor License for the
premises located at 5580 Excelsior Boulevard, with a license term of June 28, 2018 – March 1,
2019.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the applicant meet all of the requirements to allow for the
issuance of the liquor license?
SUMMARY: The City received an application from Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC
dba Chipotle Mexican Grill, for an On-Sale Intoxicating and On-Sale Sunday Liquor License for
the property located at 5580 Excelsior Boulevard. Chipotle Mexican Grill is currently operating a
restaurant at 5480 Excelsior Boulevard, but is relocating to 5580 Excelsior Boulevard. The
applicant is proposing to have an On-Sale Intoxicating and On-Sale Sunday Liquor License
whereas the current location has an On-Sale Wine & On-Sale 3.2 Malt Liquor License.
Chipotle Mexican Grill is a quick-service, fresh, gourmet-quality Mexican Restaurant. The entrees
feature fresh ingredients, from which the customer may personalize their order. The primary focus
of Chipotle Mexican Grill is food and the standard Chipotle restaurant in Minnesota has alcohol
sales of less than two percent.
Chipotle Mexican Grill will offer indoor and outdoor options for seating. Inside seating will
accommodate 55 guests with approximately 2,462 square feet and outside seating will
accommodate 24 guests with approximately 499 square feet. Chipotle Mexican Grill will be
managed by Oralia Mata Hernandez and will be open for business seven days per week. Ms.
Hernandez also served as the on-site manager at the previous location.
The Police Department conducted a full background investigation, and nothing was discovered
that would warrant denial of the license. The application and police report are on file in the City
Clerk’s office. The required notice of the public hearing was published on May 24, 2018. If the
license is approved, nothing 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 $4,650 remaining for the On-Sale Intoxicating and On-Sale Sunday liquor
license. This takes into consideration the amount paid towards the liquor license at the current
location and pro-rates the remaining amount due for June 28, 2018 through March 1, 2019

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: SLP Nest Funding Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the SLP Nest Funding Agreement.
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the concept of the Nest conducive to supporting the youth in
our community? Is the business plan sufficient enough to provide council with confidence to
assist with this new venture?
SUMMARY: Two years ago a group of St. Louis Park High School students developed an idea
to create a space, called the Nest, for students to gather for social, recreational, artistic and
educational activities. The students organized SLP Nest as a 501(c)(3) non-profit business,
developed a business plan, created a brand logo and began fundraising. The students have also
secured lease space at 3412 Library Lane in the Historic Walker Lake District and have entered
into a preliminary agreement with Muddy Paws Cheesecake to supply the student-run coffee shop
with food and beverages. Additionally, SLP Nest has indicated that they are working with the
school district to offer class credit to SLP Nest student board members, an option to offer an SLP
Nest Learning Lab as an elective for the 2020-21 school year and beyond, which includes 1/5 of a
staff person to manage the SLP Nest Learning Lab class, and accredited internships through the
College and Career Office.
Students provided their initial concept to the city council at a meeting on May 1, 2017 and updates
to council at study sessions on February 12 and May 29, 2018. The Nest board of directors has
requested funding from the city in the amount of $25,000 to assist with lease payments, space
improvements, staff salary and programming expenses. The students have set a goal of opening
on September 4, 2018. Additional information about the SLP Nest can be found at
www.slpnest.org.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: SLP Nest is requesting financial assistance
from the city in the amount of $25,000. The proposed funding agreement provides for a
reimbursement approach on a dollar for dollar matching basis up to $25,000.
VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to being a connected and engaged
community.

Title: SLP Nest Funding Agreement
DISCUSSION
BACKGROUND: In 2016, a group of St. Louis Park high school students and parents recognized
a need to create a space for students to engage in unstructured recreational, educational, artistic
and social activities. This became the impetus for the creation of the Nest; a student-run space for
students, managed by a student board, designed by students, with adult support to complement
school and home support structures. Since that time, the students have incorporated into a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization, have created a business plan, developed a logo and marketing
materials, built community relationships, secured a lease space, entered into an agreement with
Muddy Paws Cheesecake to supply the coffee-shop food and beverages, is working with the school
district to design accredited learning lab and internships for students involved in the SLP Nest, and
have raised over $19,000 in donations to date. Students are continuing fund-raising activities, as
well as making applications to various organizations for grant funds to help them reach their goal
of being open and operational by September 4, 2018.
The SLP Nest board has created a number of partnerships in efforts to bring their idea and vision
to fruition through funding and support. These partnerships include:
•Gleason Printing
•Perspectives
•SLP Police
•SLP School Board
•SLP Senior High School Student Council
•SLP Community Education Advisory Committee
•SLP Community Clinic Medical Director
•SLP Natural Helpers
•SLP High Achievement Program
•Teaming Up for Teens
•Youth Frontiers
Students provided their initial concept to the city council at a meeting on May 1, 2017 and updates
to council at study sessions on February 12 and May 29, 2018. At the February study session,
council requested the Nest to create a more robust business plan that included a detailed proforma
and operating plans. The Nest subsequently worked with Rob Smolund at Open to Business to
assist them in drafting an improved business plan and more detailed, comprehensive pro forma
and operating plans, which they presented to the council at the May 29 study session. At the May
29 study session, council asked that they continue to develop metrics and outcomes to evaluate the
success of their organization, as well as expand their fundraising activities to ensure on-going
funding for the operation.
Additional information about the Nest can be found at www.slpnest.org
PRESENT CONSIDERATIONS: The Nest has secured a lease space at 3412 Library Lane in
the Historic Walker Lake area for their operational space.

Title: SLP Nest Funding Agreement
3412 Library Lane Aerial View
City building and zoning staff have toured the property and found it to be conducive to the Nest’s
plans with no significant build-out required. The location provides easy access from the high
school and offers sufficient parking.
The Nest is requesting $25,000 in funding assistance from the city for the first year of operations.
These funds are proposed to be used for lease payments, build-out, staff, and programming. The
Nest is anticipating additional requests for funding from the city of $20,000 in year two, and
$15,000 in year three.
The funding agreement was drafted by the city’s attorney and requires the Nest to enter into a lease
for a minimum 12-month period, to keep the space open and free-of-charge to all St. Louis Park
public and private school students during normal business hours, raise matching funds, and submit
receipts for reimbursement of eligible funding activities.
NEXT STEPS: The Nest will take possession of the lease space in July and will begin build-
out/renovations in preparation for opening on September 4, 2018.

TO: Karen Barton, Community Development Director, City of St. Louis Park
FROM: SLP NEST Board of Directors
RE: Potential city funding
Since our last meeting, we have made quite a bit of progress on SLP NEST, much of it in response to the suggestions and
challenges laid out the council and city staff. These are:
●Space: We have secured 3412 Library Lane in the Historic Walker Lake District. It’s currently an unused building
owned by Jim Arneson, a long-time business owner in St. Louis Park. Jim and his brother Dave own several buildings
in the area and run Precision Instruments Company. While the it is smaller than our original plan called for, the rent
is also less and there are a number of advantages to the space as well. City staff have toured the building and the
use fits the current zoning.
●Our Ask Today: We are still requesting $25,000 in seed money for this first year of SLP NEST. While the rent has
been reduced, there is still a need for seed money for staff, and other expenses as you can see in our business plan.
●Our Ask in future years: Our Pro Forma plans that we will request $20,000 of the city council in Year Two and
$15,000 in Year Three, phasing out entirely in Year Four as other sustaining revenue becomes available. But Years
Two and Three are not what we are requesting today. We are requesting the $25,000 to get started.
●Operation: We will hire a Youth Coordinator for on site management of SLP Nest. This person will be responsible for
the safety and security of the students in addition to helping the Board carry out activities, events, and promotions
related to our mission. An additional note: our operating plan for the coffee shop has changed. For a few reasons,
SLP NEST will now be operating the coffee shop. Muddy Paws Cheesecake will be the main supplier of fresh foods
and act as a consultant.
o Operating the coffee shop on our own, on a very limited basis, provides an opportunity for a more robust
“learning lab” which can involve more students interested in learning about business.
o To the public, proceeds from sales will clearly be provided to SLP NEST. Otherwise, there may have been
some confusion about proceeds going to Muddy Paws.
o By keeping the coffee shop within SLP NEST’s organization, we ensure that there is no conflict between the
coffee shop operation and the core mission of SLP NEST.
●Business Plan: We encourage the city council to read the business plan. It has been favorably reviewed by Rob
Smolund of Open To Business. Rob suggested a number of modifications with the financial outlines that we have
made.
●Fundraising & Development: Our fundraising is going very well. As of today, we have exceeded $16,000 in support.
Since our presentation in February, we have tripled the size of our grant writing team, but are not limited to grants.
Details regarding revenue sources can be found in the business plan.
●School District Support: School Board members are highly supportive of SLP Nest. Although the Board is unable to
provide immediate financial support, the District Administration has offered (1) Class Credit to SLP Nest Student
Board members, (2) an option to offer SLP Nest Learning Lab as an elective for the 2120-21 school year and beyond,
which includes ⅕ of a staff person to manage the SLP Nest Learning Lab class, and (3) Accredited Internships through
the College and Career Office.
●Mission: Our mission is one thing that has not changed. We believe the city’s funding of this concept is one of the
best ways for the community to live out one it’s Vision 3.0 recommendations-Prepare the next generation.
●Service to the Community: The hours between 3 and 7 pm are the riskiest for unsupervised youth. Between the
time when school lets out and parents come home from work, teens are more likely to experiment with drugs,
alcohol, cigarettes, and sex than any other time during the week. They’re also more likely to engage in or be the
victim of criminal activity. By providing a safe place for teens to be during the hours they need it most, we believe
we can contribute to the long-term health and well-being of the entire community, including many residents who
are currently underserved.
Thank you!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TITLE: Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance adding
Section 36-268-PUD 13 to the Zoning Code and amending the Zoning Map from C-2 General
Commercial and R-4 Multiple Family Residential to PUD 13 for the property located at 4424 and
4400 Excelsior Boulevard and 3743 Monterey Drive, and approve the Summary Ordinance for
publication. (Note: Requires 5 affirmative votes.)
POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the City Council support the proposed Preliminary and
Final PUD to allow for the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center redevelopment?
SUMMARY: Bridgewater Bank requests Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
approval for the redevelopment of 4424 and 4400 Excelsior Boulevard, and 3743 Monterey Drive.
Bridgewater Bank proposes to demolish the existing 1-story commercial building and construct a
4-story, 84,000 square foot office building with a 7,152-square-foot commercial bank branch,
7,530 square feet of retail and service space, including a 4,000 square foot restaurant and three
levels of structured parking. The first floor will include Bridgewater Bank's customer branch, a
restaurant and retail space. The second and third floors will include the bank's executive offices
and the fourth floor will be a co-working entrepreneurial hub, servicing new business start-ups.
The proposal includes a public plaza at the corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive,
with outdoor seating, space for artwork or an artist designed structure, and landscaping.
The building height, setbacks, stepbacks, site circulation, and the plaza are designed to respond to
comments raised during a previous development review process in 2015 for the same site.
The city council approved the preliminary and final plat, and approved the first reading of the
ordinance on May 21, 2018.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: There are extraordinary costs associated with
the proposed redevelopment site that prevent the project from being financially feasible.
Consequently, the developer submitted an application for tax increment financing to defray a
portion of these expenses. The developer intends to purchase the EDA owned parcel for the
appraised value of $400,000.
VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable.

Applicant: Bridgewater Bank
Case Nos.: 18-07-S, 18-08-PUD

information and background. She reviewed proposed access points.
Ms. Monson gave an analysis of the preliminary and final plat request.
Ms. Monson provided analysis of the PUD request. She spoke about zoning compliance,
uses, architectural design, height, lighting, parking and access. She also discussed the
traffic study, Travel Demand Management Plan, landscaping, Climate Action Plan
components, Designed Outdoor Recreation Area and public input.
Ms. Monson noted that staff has received input from a representative of LIV Apartments,
the apartment complex directly to the north. Concerns include landscaping, location and
height of the access C driveway and retaining wall, and stormwater.
Commissioner Peilen asked if the outdoor plaza area was a public space.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 10
Title: Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
Ms. Monson responded that it is a publicly accessible space.
Commissioner Peilen asked about traffic patterns at Monterey and Park Commons Drive.
Matt Pacyna, SRF traffic consultant, discussed current conditions.
Commissioner Peilen and Jack Sullivan, Engineering Project Manager, spoke about the
proposed roundabout design at Monterey and the Rec Center.
Commissioner Peilen asked about the location of the proposed U turn.
Mr. Sullivan showed and spoke about the location of U turn at Monterey and Excelsior
Blvd.
Commissioner Kanne asked if there would be physical barriers preventing left turns at the
right in/right out access point driveway.
Mr. Sullivan said physical barriers are proposed.
Commissioner Carper asked about restaurant location and walkway to the patio.
Dean Dovolis, DJR Architecture, indicated the location of the wrap around patio design
and the plaza.
Commissioner Carper thanked the developer for including infrastructure for charging
stations.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about need for additional parking with outdoor
seating. She stated there are existing Excelsior Blvd. restaurants whose patrons park in
neighborhoods.
Ms. Monson responded that the parking study indicated there is adequate parking to serve
a 4,000 sq. ft. restaurant. She said the parking study shows even at peak time there is still
additional capacity for restaurant parking.
Sean Walther, Parking and Zoning Supervisor, explained the formula used in zoning code
for parking and outdoor seating.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she loves the building but everything depends upon
the traffic impact. She commented that the new plan has more daily trips than the previous
proposal. She said the City Council voted down the previous proposal.
Mr. Pacyna explained from a total site trips perspective it is less than what was previously
proposed. He stated that the primary difference is the fact that when the data was collected
previously the former uses were still active so there was a credit applied for those current
uses. With the latest traffic count update those businesses were no longer active and the
credit was not applied, which results in the reported net new system trips. He referenced
where that information could be found in the traffic study.
Mr. Dovolis, architect, gave a presentation on the development.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 11
Title: Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked about Access B and the amount of traffic exiting
from ramp.
Mr. Pacyna said there would be approximately 10-15 peak hour vehicles making a right
turn to go north on Excelsior Blvd.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison asked if the proposed U turn would double the amount
of traffic on that stretch of Monterey.
Mr. Pacyna said that U-turns had been accounted for in the traffic analysis.
Chair Robertson opened the public hearing.
Paul Jennings, 3925 Joppa Ave. S., spoke about the choke point at Excelsior and Monterey.
He said the only way he can get out of his neighborhood is at Wooddale or
Excelsior/Monterey. He spoke about parking at Trader Joe’s complicating the choke point
problem. He said it doesn’t make sense to him to grade traffic. He said it is up to the
applicant to design the access points. Mr. Jennings said traffic questions need to be
addressed with anything that is built on that corner.
Patti Carlson, 3801 Inglewood Ave. S., said the building has a lot of great ideas but she is
concerned about traffic. Monterey is her family’s single primary route to multiple
destinations. She spoke about her concern of the change to a single lane being the primary
route for emergency vehicles. She spoke about bike lanes and bus stops in addition to one
lane. She said she is able to walk for many of her errands and she is concerned about
roundabout design and pedestrian safety. She said she thought the proposed changes to
Monterey road design are dangerous, elaborate and expensive.
Janet Grimes, 4530 Park Commons Dr. #309, said she lives above Trader Joe’s parking
lot. She spoke about accidents she has seen at Monterey and Park Commons Dr. She said
to create more driveways on to Monterey is insane. She commented that if she does not
leave her parking lot by 3 p.m. she is not able to leave the lot. She spoke about the number
of pedestrians going to the bank, stores, post office and apartment buildings currently
encountering heavy traffic. Ms. Grimes said she likes the proposed building design but
doesn’t feel a roundabout is the solution to Park Commons Dr. and Monterey.
Jonathan Saliterman, representing LIV Apartments, 4505 W. 36th ½ St., provided
background on LIV Apartments. He said the Bridgewater design is good but it is a strange
site with incongruent pieces which neglect the existence of the LIV complex. Access C is
currently on city-owned property. The land is being contributed to the development so it
can be a driveway with a one foot setback and built on a substantial graded wall. He said
it isn’t a normal driveway. He said he is concerned about water retainage with the new
development. LIV doesn’t have any drainage naturally. Mr. Saliterman said as neighbors
LIV should have been incorporated into the design of Access C. He said traffic concerns
of neighbors are legitimate.
Yvette LaCroix, building manager, LIV Apartments, 4505 W. 36 1/2 St., stated that LIV
Apartments has been in the neighborhood since 1968. Additional traffic, Access C,
landscaping, and setback are concerns. She added there is no consideration for neighbors
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 12
Title: Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
to enjoy their right to quiet. Ms. LaCroix said there is also concern about construction
hours and measures to protect residents.
Alberto Bertomeu, property owner of several properties on Excelsior Blvd., said the traffic
issues are a reality in urban areas. He said signage can be improved and there should be
greater enforcement of traffic rules. He stated that the development is being wrongly
mixed up with traffic further west on Excelsior Blvd. Mr. Bertomeu stated the community
is missing the opportunity to discuss the project and bring employment to St. Louis Park.
He commented that weekend traffic will be lighter than work week traffic which is a plus
for neighborhoods. No one is mentioning weekend traffic. Mr. Bertomeu said the traffic
flow needs to be enforced as well as enforcing respectful driving in the neighborhoods.
As no one else was present wishing to speak and the Chair closed the public hearing.
Chair Robertson asked staff to address setback concerns from LIV Apartments.
Ms. Monson said the site is zoned C-2 and the zoning ordinance allows a driveway to be
built there. It is not an accessory structure. It is an engineered retaining wall with a
driveway on top. She spoke about wall requirements and noted the PUD creates the height
and setback regulations for the site.
Mr. Walther added Access C was designed in that location to locate the driveway farther
north away from Excelsior/Monterey and Access B.
Commissioner Tatalovich asked about LIV Apts. and water retainage.
Ms. Monson said the Water Resource Manager has explained to LIV Apartments how the
stormwater works in that area. Currently where LIV property abuts the EDA property is at
one of the low points of the site so the surface water is coming from LIV Apts and the EDA
property and there is likely pooling currently in that area. There are no existing stormwater
mitigations on the EDA site. She stated that the Bridgewater development has multiple
areas for capturing and managing stormwater, including the plaza and Access A, which
would improve the stormwater conditions in the area.
Commissioner Peilen said the comments were excellent. She said the building is beautiful.
She said there are pedestrian and traffic issues everywhere in the metro area. She stated
she is concerned about the proposed U turn. She spoke about congestion with bike lanes.
Overall she said she feels the project is lovely and worthy of the commission’s
consideration.
Commissioner Carper said the roundabout concerns stand apart from the Bridgewater
development.
Chair Robertson said the project is well designed and thoughtful. He commented that it’s
been a long time since an office use has come to the city which is very exciting. Traffic
issues are real but separate from the project. He said he felt the future road improvements
will improve traffic flow.
City Council Meeting of June 4, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 13
Title: Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development
Commissioner Kanne said she agreed with traffic concerns. She stated she encounters
traffic issues everywhere in the metro area. She said the development is ultimately an
improvement, good for livability and property values.
Commissioner Johnston-Madison said she likes the building but is concerned about traffic
issues on Excelsior Blvd. She stated she is concerned about the number of driveways on
Monterey. She said this part of St. Louis Park is different from other communities in that
it doesn’t have a grid road design.
Commissioner Peilen made a motion recommending approval of the preliminary and final
plat, and preliminary and final Planned Unit Development subject to staff
recommendations. Commissioner Tatalovich seconded the motion, and the motion passed
on a vote of 6-1 (Johnston-Madison no).
