Meeting: Special study session Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Discussion item: 1 Executive summary Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation Recommended action: None at this time. This is the third in a series of discussions regarding the development of the rules of conduct for municipal elections. Policy consideration: Does the city council support staff’s recommendations related to calculating the threshold required to be elected, requiring a candidate to file a written request to have their write-in votes counted, and resolving any ties that occur by lot? Summary: In previous discussions the city council has agreed with following the Minneapolis model for the development of the rules for conduct of municipal elections and directed staff to move forward with a ballot design that would allow for at least three (3), but not more than six (6) rankings for any office on the ballot. The rules for conduct of municipal elections must also address the topics of tabulation, write- ins, and provide a method for resolving ties. The ordinance should provide a general overview of how the city will tabulate votes, meaning how the data collected on election night will be used to determine winners. One of the most important concepts that needs to be established is the threshold that must be reached for a candidate to be elected. The recommendation is to use a formula that will calculate a threshold of 50% +1 of the total ballots cast for an office. In the event that the threshold is not reached and only two candidates remain, the candidate with the most votes will be declared elected. Under current election practices, all write-in votes for municipal offices are tabulated by election judges at city hall after Election Day. Judges use ballot images captured by the DS200 to tabulate all names that appear as write-in votes, including illegitimate or fictional names such as “Mickey Mouse” or “Captain America”. Going forward the recommendation would be to only tabulate write-in votes for those who file a written request with the chief election official. This would save time administratively and speed up the counting process overall. Both Minneapolis and St. Paul require a written request to tabulate write-in votes for a specific candidate for municipal office. State law currently requires the canvassing board to resolve ties by lot. For municipal offices, the canvassing board is the city council. In a ranked-choice race, it is possible that a tie could occur in a round of tabulation. For this reason, it is recommended that the chief election official be authorized to resolve ties by lot. This will allow the tabulation process to continue, with limited interruption, rather than needing to stop tabulation of the race to convene the canvassing board and provide legal notice of the meeting. The city council will still be responsible for canvassing the results of municipal elections. After results have been canvassed, a candidate can make a formal request for a recount. This is the same process currently used in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Financial or budget considerations: Funds have been allocated in the 2019 budget for RCV. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable. Supporting documents: Discussion Prepared by: Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager/HR Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Special study session meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 2 Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation Discussion At the study session, staff will provide council with various hands-on scenarios that demonstrate what is outlined in this report. We understand the written report provides an extensive amount of information that may be difficult to understand at first glance. Due to the complexities of various components of tabulating a ranked-choice ballot, it is important to have the following information in writing to accompany the hands-on session with council. We want to ensure that we are developing a system that can handle all possible scenarios, can be adapted to work with new technology, and can produce accurate results as efficiently as possible. Key definitions: The following definitions will be used when discussing tabulation, write-ins, and method of resolving ties. Staff will use voting scenarios to help council understand the meaning and implication of these definitions. •Batch elimination means a simultaneous defeat of multiple continuing candidates for whom it is mathematically impossible to be elected. •Chief election official means the city clerk and includes the city clerk’s designee(s). •Continuing candidate means a candidate who has been neither elected nor defeated. •Declared write-in candidate(s) means a candidate(s) who has filed a written request to have write-in votes for the candidate(s) counted with the chief election official no later than seven (7) days before the general or special election. •Exhausted ballot means a ballot that cannot be advanced under any rule. •Highest continuing ranking means the ranking on a voter’s ballot with the lowest numerical value for a continuing candidate. •Mathematically eliminated means either: (1)The candidate could never win because his or her current vote total plus all votes that could possibly be transferred to him or her in future rounds (from candidates with fewer votes, tied candidates, surplus votes, and from undeclared write-in candidates) would not be enough to equal or surpass the candidate with the next higher current vote total; or (2)The candidate has a lower current vote total than a candidate who is described by (1). •Mathematically impossible to be elected means mathematically eliminated by the next higher current vote total comparison. •Maximum possible threshold means the number of votes sufficient for a candidate to be elected under a first ranked choice tabulation. In any given election, the maximum possible threshold equals the total ballots cast that include votes, undervotes, skipped rankings, and overvotes for the office, divided by the sum of one (1) plus the number of offices to be filled, then adding one (1). Maximum Possible Threshold = ((Total ballots cast that include votes, undervotes, skipped rankings, and overvotes for the office)/(Seats to be elected + 1)) + 1 Special study session meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 3 Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation • An overvote occurs when a voter ranks more than one (1) candidate at the same ranking. • Partially defective ballot means a ballot that is defective to the extent that the election judges are unable to determine the voter’s intent with respect to the office being counted. • Ranked-choice voting means an election method in which voters rank candidates for an office in order of their preference and ballots are counted in rounds where votes are distributed to candidates according to the preferences marked on each ballot until one (1) candidate meets the threshold, or until two (2) candidates remain and the candidate with the greater number of votes is declared elected. • Ranked-choice voting tabulation center means the location selected by the chief election official for the tabulation of votes. • Ranking means the number assigned by a voter to a candidate to express the voter’s preference for that candidate. Ranking number one (1) is the highest ranking. A ranking of lower numerical value indicates a greater preference for a candidate than a ranking of higher numerical value. • Repeat candidate ranking occurs when a voter ranks the same candidate at multiple rankings for the office being counted. • Round means an instance of the sequences of voting tabulation steps. • Skipped ranking occurs when a voter leaves a ranking blank and ranks a candidate at a subsequent ranking. • Sum of all ranked-choice votes means the sum of all votes for a candidate at every ranking for an office, including all repeat candidate rankings. • Surplus means the total number of votes cast for an elected candidate in excess of the threshold. • Threshold means the number of votes sufficient for a candidate to be elected. In any given election, the threshold equals the total votes counted in the first round after removing partially defective ballots, divided by the sum of one (1) plus the number of offices to be filled, then adding one (1). Threshold = ((Total votes cast/(Seats to be elected + 1)) + 1 • Transferable vote means a vote for a candidate who has been defeated. • Totally defective ballot means a ballot that is defective to the extent that the election judges are unable to determine the voter’s intent for any office on the ballot. • Undeclared write-in candidate means a write-in candidate who is not a declared write-in candidate. • An undervote occurs when a voter does not rank any candidates for an office. Special study session meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 4 Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation Ordinance recommendations: Staff recommends that the following sections be included in the body of the ordinance. It is important to note that the tabulation of votes is not the same as counting procedures, which will be determined administratively. This will provide staff with the flexibility to change and adapt the counting procedures to the technology that is available and to make improvements, as necessary, after each municipal cycle to increase efficiency. Although the counting procedures will be developed administratively in the form of a written policy, they must follow the rules set forth in the ordinance for tabulation and they must be repeatable and transparent. Post-election review plans, including an independent audit of our administrative counting procedures, will be discussed at a subsequent meeting. Tabulation of votes; in general: (a) Precinct tabulation. When the hours for voting have ended and all voting has concluded, the election judges in each precinct shall record and post the number of votes at each ranking on the ballot. The election judges must then securely transfer all election night materials and ballots from the precinct to the location designated by the chief election official. Upon receipt, election night materials and ballot shall be secured. (b) Notice of recess in count. At any time following receipt of materials, the chief election official may declare a recess. Notice shall be posted of such recess, which must include the date, time and location at which the process of recording and tabulating votes will resume and the reason for the recess. (c) Recording write-in votes. At a time set by the chief election official, the judges of the election shall convene at a ranked-choice voting tabulation center to record the names and number of votes received by each declared write-in candidate. The number of votes received by undeclared write-in candidates will be recorded as a group, by office. Tabulation of votes; single-seat elections. (a) Applicability. This section applies to a ranked-choice voting election in which one (1) seat in an office is to be filled from a single set of candidates on the ballot. The method of tabulating ranked-choice votes for single-seat elections as described in this section must be known as the “single-seat transferable vote” method of tabulation. (b) First ranked choice tabulation. A first ranked choice tabulation shall be done under this clause before a tabulation as described in clause (c). A first ranked choice tabulation will consist of a first round only. Under the first ranked choice tabulation, the vote total will be the sum of number one (1) ranked votes. The maximum possible threshold must be determined. If the vote total for a candidate, other than an undeclared or a declared write-in candidate, is equal to or greater than the maximum possible threshold, that candidate is declared elected and the tabulation is complete. If the vote total for no candidate, other than an undeclared or a declared write-in candidate, is equal to or greater than the maximum possible threshold, a tabulation, as described in clause (c) shall be done. (c) Tabulation of round(s). (1) Tabulation of votes at the ranked-choice voting tabulation center must proceed in rounds for each office to be counted. The threshold must be calculated. The sum of all ranked- Special study session meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 5 Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation choice votes for every candidate must be calculated. Each round must proceed sequentially as follows: a. The number of votes cast for each candidate, as indicated by the highest continuing ranking on each ballot, must be counted. If a candidate, other than an undeclared write-in candidate, has a vote total that is equal to or greater than the threshold that candidate is declared elected and the tabulation is complete. If no candidate, other than an undeclared write-in candidate, has a vote total that is equal to or greater than the threshold, a new round begins and the tabulation must continue. b. At the beginning of the second round only, all undeclared write-in candidates and all candidates for whom it is mathematically impossible to be elected must be defeated simultaneously. For rounds subsequent to the second round, all candidates for whom it is mathematically impossible to be elected must be defeated simultaneously. Votes for the defeated candidates must be transferred to each ballot’s next-ranked continuing candidate, except votes for candidates defeated in the final round are not transferred if, by their defeat, the number of continuing candidates is reduced to one (1). If no candidate can be defeated under this clause, the tabulation must continue. c. The candidate with the fewest votes is defeated. Votes for the defeated candidate must be transferred to each ballot’s next-ranked continuing candidate, except votes for candidates defeated in the final round are not transferred if, by their defeat, the number of continuing candidates is reduced to one (1). Ties between candidates with the fewest votes must be resolved by lot by the chief election official. The candidate chosen by lot must be defeated. The result of the tie resolution must be recorded and reused in the event of a recount. d. The procedures in clauses a. to c. must be repeated until one (1) candidate reaches the threshold, or until only one (1) continuing candidate remains. If only one continuing candidate remains, that continuing candidate must be elected. In the case of a tie between two (2) or more continuing candidates, the tie must be resolved by lot by the chief election official. The result of the tie resolution must be recorded and reused in the event of a recount. A tied candidate chosen by lot must be defeated. When only one (1) continuing candidate remains after a tie has been resolved by lot by the chief election official, that continuing candidate must be elected and the votes of the tied candidate chosen by lot will be retained. (2) When a skipped ranking, overvote or repeat candidate ranking is encountered on a ballot, that ballot shall count towards the highest continuing ranking that is not a skipped ranking, an overvote or repeat candidate ranking. If any ballot cannot be advanced because no further continuing candidates are ranked on that ballot, or because the only votes for further continuing candidates ranked on that ballot are either overvotes or repeat candidate rankings, the ballot shall not count towards any candidate in that round or in subsequent rounds for the office being counted. Ties resolved by lot. (a) Who resolves a tie by lot. The chief election official must resolve a tie by lot. Special study session meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 1) Page 6 Title: 2019 municipal elections: ranked-choice voting planning and implementation (b) Notice to candidates with tied votes. The chief election official must notify all candidates with tied votes that the tie will be resolved by lot. This notice must be sent at least one (1) hour prior to resolving the tie by lot. The notice must be sent through a medium that would generally be capable of reaching a person within the one-hour period, such as face-to-face, a fax, an email, an instant message, a text, a video chat, a telephone call, or a voicemail. The chief election official is not required to confirm that the notice is received by a candidate before resolving a tie by lot. A tie may be resolved by lot even though some or all of the candidates who have tied votes are not present. (c) Witnesses. The resolving of the tie by lot must be witnessed by two (2) election judges who are members of different major political parties. (d) Video. The resolving of a tie by lot may be recorded through any audio and visual recording technology. (e) Media. The chief election official may allow the media to view the resolution of a tie by lot. (f) Procedures. The chief election official may establish written procedures for implementing this section. Write-in votes. A candidate for municipal office who wants write-in votes for themselves to be counted as votes must file a written request with the chief election official no later than seven (7) days before the general or special election. The chief election official shall provide copies of the form to make the request. Equity and inclusion considerations: When considering how votes will be tabulated in a ranked-choice system, it is important to consider measures that can be taken to ensure that voters have the greatest possible opportunity to have their ballot count. This means clearly defining what will happen in scenarios in which voters skip rankings, vote for the same candidate in all rankings, or vote for too many candidates at one ranking. Although we cannot prevent all voter errors, we can find ways to ensure that the tabulation process is as equitable and inclusive as possible. A big piece of this will also be educating voters on how they can avoid making errors and maximize their opportunity to have their ballot counted in the tabulation process. Meeting: Special study session Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Discussion item: 2 Executive summary Title: Immigration Recommended action: Provide time for council to discuss immigration concerns. Policy consideration: Staff requests policy direction from the council on this matter. Summary: The city council asked staff to place an item on an upcoming study session to discuss immigration and the separation of families. The council also asked for information on the police department’s role in enforcing immigration laws: Police Department Community policing is essential to the success of the St. Louis Park Police Department. Community policing relies on our ability to form partnerships with the community to solve problems and quality of life issues. We also work collaboratively with the community, local, state and federal agencies to enforce state laws and local ordinances. To maintain our strong partnership with the community the St. Louis Park Police Department does not enforce federal immigration laws nor has it ever been our practice to do so. Furthermore, the St. Louis Park Police Department does not intend to ask the immigration status of our community members. We are, however, obligated by federal law to notify federal authorities when a person has been arrested by St. Louis Park police officers for a violation of state or local laws we are tasked to enforce, if the person has a federal detainer, warrant or alert assigned by a federal authority. Staff will evaluate the next steps based on the discussion and direction from city council. Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC to facilitate the Platia Place redevelopment projects? Summary: SLP Park Ventures, LLC (“redeveloper”) proposes to purchase vacated right-of-way from the EDA and construct a mixed-use redevelopment at 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Boulevard (former Santorini’s restaurant property) which would entail cleaning up the current vacant site, removing its three billboards and constructing a six-story, 149-unit, mixed-income apartment building as well as a six-story, 100-room hotel together called Platia Place. Final approval of the PUD to allow construction of the proposed projects on the subject site was approved by the city council on March 19, 2018. The subject site’s poor structural soils create significant extraordinary costs for the proposed redevelopments which impede their financial feasibility. In order for both projects to achieve a market rate of return, the redeveloper applied to the EDA for tax Increment financing (TIF) assistance. The redeveloper’s TIF application was reviewed at the February 12, 2018 study session where it received favorable support. Key business terms for providing the proposed financial assistance and conveyance of the remnant property were provided in the March 12, 2018 study session staff report (page 9). On May 7, 2018, the EDA authorized the sale of the vacated ROW adjacent to 9808 & 9920 Wayzata Boulevard subject to a mutually acceptable purchase and redevelopment contract. Financial or budget considerations: Under the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract, SLP Park Ventures, LLC agrees to construct the proposed Platia Place projects as specified under the approved PUD and the EDA agrees to reimburse the redeveloper for qualified redevelopment costs (up to $2,760,000 for the apartment project and $714,000 for the hotel) in property tax increment generated by the respective projects. The financial assistance would be provided on a pay-as-you-go basis over a maximum term of 9 years. Additionally, the redeveloper would purchase the vacated right-of-way needed by the projects from the EDA for $73,772. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood-oriented development. Supporting documents: Discussion EDA Resolution Purchase and redevelopment contract (available for viewing in the community development department.) Prepared by: Greg Hunt, Economic Development Coordinator Reviewed by: Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, EDA Executive Director and City Manager Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7a) Page 2 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC Discussion Background: The subject redevelopment site consists of two parcels: 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Boulevard (along with adjacent rights-of-way) which, together, is approximately 3.19 acres. It is located in the upper northwest quadrant of the city within the Shelard Park Neighborhood. It is bounded by the Westmarke Condominiums to the west, the MetroPoint Office Park to the north, US Highway 169 to the east and I-394 to the south. This highly visible location most recently was the site of the former Santorini’s restaurant and is now currently vacant. The site has been subject to occasional dumping and was identified by neighborhood residents as a high-priority area for redevelopment to address nuisance and property maintenance issues. Subject redevelopment site: 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Boulevard Redevelopment proposal: SLP Park Ventures, LLC (“redeveloper”) a real estate development company led by Bill Stoddard of Stoddard Companies, has a purchase agreement to acquire the subject site. The redeveloper proposes to clean up the site, remove its three billboards and construct a six-story apartment building and a six-story hotel, currently referred to as Platia Place. The projects would require the acquisition of approximately 18,440 square feet of vacated right-of-way from the city. The apartment building would consist of 149 housing units of which 134 would be market rate and 15 (10%) would be affordable at 50% of the area median Income (AMI), which meets the requirements of the city’s Inclusionary Housing Policy. It would also include five 3-bedroom units, of which one would be affordable. The hotel building would have 100 rooms and offer limited services. Both projects will be required to comply with the city’s Green Building Policy, Building Readiness ordinance, and Climate Action Plan. The second reading of the ordinance creating the PUD to allow construction of the proposed projects on the subject site was approved by the city council on March 19, 2018. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7a) Page 3 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC Rendering of proposed Platia Place apartment building and hotel Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance: The total cost to construct the apartment building is approximately $37 million and the total cost to construct the hotel is $20 million. There are significant extraordinary costs associated with redeveloping the subject site exceeding $3.1 million for the apartment building and $900,000 for the hotel preventing both proposed projects from achieving a market rate of return. Consequently the redeveloper is requesting tax increment financing (TIF) assistance to offset a portion of these costs to enable the projects to proceed. Level and type of financial assistance: Based upon analysis of the redeveloper’s financial proforma, Ehlers (the EDA’s financial consultant) determined that the proposed apartment building would not be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future but for the provision of $2,760,000 in tax increment assistance and the hotel would not be reasonably expected to occur but for the provision of $714,000 in tax increment financing. The TIF assistance would be made available to exclusively reimburse the redeveloper for a portion of its qualified site preparation costs and would be provided on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. It is projected that the apartment project TIF note would be paid off in approximately 9 years and the hotel project TIF note would be paid off in approximately 8 years with increment generated by the respective projects. Conveyance of remnant right-of-way: The city recently acquired right-of-way along Wayzata Boulevard adjacent to the subject site from MnDOT. The city will retain a portion of this property for right-of-way purposes and vacate the remainder (“remnant right-of-way”) as shown below. The remnant right-of-ray has been conveyed to the EDA for subsequent sale to the redeveloper. On March 19, 2018, the city council approved the Second Reading of the Ordinance vacating right-of-way adjacent to 9808 and 9920 Wayzata Boulevard. In order to accommodate the proposed project, the redeveloper has requested to purchase the remnant right-of-way from the EDA for $73,772. On April 16, 2018, the EDA held a public hearing regarding the conveyance of the remnant right-of-way to the redeveloper, and on May 7, 2018, the EDA authorized the sale of the same subject to a mutually acceptable purchase and redevelopment contract. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7a) Page 4 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC Image of remnant right-of-way (highlighted) TIF application review: The EDA/city council received a staff report (page 14) outlining the redeveloper’s TIF application at the February 12, 2018 study session. There was consensus support favorably considering the recommended amounts of financial assistance and conveying the remnant right-of-way to the redeveloper to facilitate both projects. As a result, staff was directed to call for a public hearing on the proposed sale of vacated right–of-way property needed for both projects and prepare business terms for a formal purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC. TIF district: On March 21, 2016 the EDA/city council approved the establishment of the Wayzata Boulevard Redevelopment TIF District to proactively encourage redevelopment of the subject site. Both Platia Place projects qualify as redevelopments under the MN TIF Act so no further action is required at this time relative to the applicable TIF District. Property value and taxes: The current taxable market value (“base value”) of 9920 Wayzata Boulevard is $1.1 million and generates approximately $6,800 in City property taxes. The estimated taxable market value of the property upon completion of the proposed apartment building (for TIF estimation purposes) is nearly $30 million. The current taxable market value (“base value”) of 9808 Wayzata Boulevard is $1.2 million and generates approximately $7,800 in City property taxes. The estimated taxable market value of the property upon completion the proposed hotel building (for TIF estimation purposes) is $8.5 million. The city, county and school district would continue to receive the property taxes collected on the subject sites’ base value. Once the TIF notes are retired, the additional property taxes generated by both projects would accrue to the local taxing jurisdictions. Upon termination of the TIF district, the city’s portion of the property taxes is projected to increase to $177,400/year (or 2,500%) for the apartment site and approximately $54,000/year (or a nearly 600%) for the hotel site. Proposed purchase and redevelopment contract: Specific business terms for providing the proposed financial assistance and selling the remnant right-of-way were provided in the March 12th study session staff report (page 9). Those terms served as the basis for the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract (“contract”) with SLP Park Ventures, LLC (“redeveloper”) and assigns. The proposed contract specifies the property acquisition terms and mutual obligations between the EDA and the redeveloper as well as the precise terms of the financial Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7a) Page 5 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC assistance to be provided. The contract is consistent with EDA policy, past practices and previous discussions with the EDA/city council. The following are key terms of the proposed contract: 1.The redevelopment property includes the following parcels: •9808 Wayzata Boulevard •9920 Wayzata Boulevard •Remnant right-of-way (“EDA property”) 2.The required project to be constructed on the redevelopment property requires removal of the three billboards and construction of a six-story, approximately 205,670 square-foot multifamily apartment building containing 149 housing units and a six-story, approximately 61,411 square-foot hotel containing 100 rooms along with associated parking. 3.Purchase of the EDA property is required to occur no later than October 31, 2018, in the amount of $73,772 to be paid to the EDA at closing. 4.In order to make the required project financially feasible, the EDA agrees to reimburse the redeveloper for a portion of qualified redevelopment costs. The financial assistance would derive from property tax increment generated by the respective projects in amounts of up to $2,760,000 for the apartment project and $714,000 for the hotel. Such assistance would be provided on a pay-as-you-go basis over a maximum term of 9 years and subject to a “lookback” provision verifying the amounts of TIF assistance were justified. 5.Redeveloper agrees to pay the reasonable administrative costs of the EDA’s consultants and attorneys in connection with the project. 6.Project construction is required to commence by July 1, 2019 and be substantially completed by December 31, 2020. 7.The project is be constructed in compliance with the city’s Green Building Policy/Climate Action Plan and inclusionary housing policy requirements. The above terms are subject to further definition, revision and/or refinement provided they do not alter the substance of the transaction. Summary: Providing the proposed financial assistance and selling vacated right-of-way to the Redeveloper makes it possible to clean up the vacant former Santorini’s property, remove three billboards and construct a sustainable six-story, 149-unit mixed income apartment building as well as a six-story, 100-room hotel, consistent with the comprehensive plan. The project will further diversify the city’s housing stock with 134 market rate and 15 affordable multi-family units and a 100-room, limited service hotel. It is estimated that the project will create over 45 new employment positions and bring the currently vacant properties to optimal market value by generating $39 million in additional tax base. The EDA’s financial participation in the proposed redevelopment will leverage approximately $57 million in new private investment. The ratio of private to public investment is nearly $13 to $1 for the apartment project and nearly $27 to $1 for the hotel project. The Platia Place project will remove blight from this Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7a) Page 6 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC highly visible, vacant site and bring additional economic vibrancy to the Shelard Park neighborhood. Recommendation: As indicated in the February 12, 2018 staff report (page 14), the Platia Place redevelopment meets the city’s objectives and minimum qualifications as well as nearly all desired qualifications for the provision of tax increment financing as specified in the city’s TIF policy. Given these findings, staff supports selling the vacated remnant right-of-way needed by the proposed project for $73,772 and reimbursing the redeveloper for a portion of its qualified costs up to a total of $3,474,000 in the form of pay-as-you-go tax increment generated by the respective redevelopments so as to enable them to become financially feasible. The EDA’s legal counsel, in consultation with staff, prepared the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with SLP Park Ventures, LLC and recommends its approval. The attached resolution of approval allows for modifications to the contract that do not alter the substance of the transaction without bringing the contract back to the EDA for amendment.

Meeting: Economic development authority Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Action agenda item: 7b Executive summary Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Recommended actions: • Motion to adopt EDA Resolution approving the elimination of a parcel from the Park Commons tax increment financing district. • Motion to adopt EDA Resolution approving the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District (a redevelopment district). • Motion to adopt EDA Resolution authorizing an interfund loan for advance of certain costs in connection with the administration of the Bridgewater Bank TIF District. Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to continue to take the necessary steps to facilitate the construction of the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center? Summary: A staff report regarding Bridgewater Bank’s application for tax increment financing (TIF) assistance in connection with its proposed corporate headquarters project was provided at the April 23, 2018 Study Session. As stated in that report, constructing the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project is not financially feasible but for the use of the proposed tax increment assistance. On July 16, 2018, the city council held a public hearing regarding the establishment of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The final steps in the TIF process are to formally authorize the creation of the redevelopment TIF district and to approve the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract. These authorizations enable the EDA to designate tax increment generated from the completed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project as partial reimbursement for certain qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project so as to make it financially feasible. Financial or budget considerations: Authorizing the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank TIF creates the funding vehicle to reimburse Bridgewater Bank for a portion of its qualified project costs. The terms and amount of TIF assistance are specified within the purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank which is also scheduled for consideration August 6, 2018. Authorizing an interfund loan allows the EDA to recoup certain costs in connection with the administration of the new TIF District. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Present conditions: The subject site is 2.89 acres (2.42 after platting) and consists of three parcels. The smallest parcel, at the southernmost tip of the site, is 4424 Excelsior Boulevard and is owned by Bridgewater Bank. It is occupied by a single story 6,300 square foot commercial building originally constructed in 1948. The building was determined to be structurally substandard according to an analysis by LHB (see TIF District section in this report). The property immediately next door, 4400 Excelsior Boulevard, is also owned by Bridgewater Bank. It is occupied by an 18,500 square foot multi-tenant, commercial structure originally constructed in 1932 and a second 4,400 square foot commercial building that was recently renovated and is occupied by a Bridgewater Bank branch. The larger commercial building was also determined to be structurally substandard. The substandard buildings on the site are both functionally obsolete in terms of design and possess limited, circuitous access via an adjacent property. Additionally the buildings are dated from an aesthetic perspective. Lastly, the low density site is underutilized from a market value perspective given the multi-story buildings in close proximity. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7b) Page 3 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District The third property to the northwest is 3743 Monterey Drive. This remnant parcel is vacant and has a significant slope. This .5 acre property is owned by the EDA. It was acquired in 1996 as part of the land assemblage for the future Excelsior & Grand project. Current proposal: Bridgewater Bank (“redeveloper”) proposes to raze the two structurally substandard buildings on the subject site and construct a 4-story, 84,000 gross square foot Class A office building that would serve as its corporate headquarters. For additional information on the proposed project please see the corresponding August 6, 2018 EDA staff report: Purchase and Redevelopment Contract – Bridgewater Bank. Rendering of Bridgewater Bank’s proposed corporate office building Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance and TIF application review: The EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, has determined that the Bridgewater development proposal would not be built but-for assistance through Tax Increment Financing provided by the EDA. For additional information relating to the developer’s request for TIF assistance, please see the corresponding August 6, 2018 EDA staff report: Purchase and Redevelopment Contract – Bridgewater Bank. TIF district approvals: At its May 7, 2018 meeting, the city council set a public hearing date of July 2, 2018 for consideration of the proposed Bridgewater Bank Redevelopment TIF District (subsequently rescheduled to July 16, 2018). On July 16, 2018, the city council held a public hearing regarding the establishment of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The Planning Commission reviewed the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing Plan on June 20, 2018, as required by the MN TIF Act, and determined the Plan was in conformance with the city’s general redevelopment plans. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7b) Page 4 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Synopsis of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District: The subject site is located within the boundaries of the city’s Redevelopment Project Area. As shown in the attached TIF District maps, the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District encompasses three parcels: 4424 and 4400 Excelsior Boulevard, and 3743 Monterey Drive along with adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways. The 3743 Monterey Drive property (EDA property) currently lies within the Park Commons TIF District and will therefore need to be decertified from the Park Commons TIF District in order to be included in the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The Tax Increment Financing District Overview summarizes the basic elements of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. Additional details of the proposed TIF District may be found in the Bridgewater Bank TIF District Plan. Both the Overview and TIF Plan were prepared by the EDA’s TIF consultant, Ehlers. The specific mutual obligations between the EDA and the Redeveloper as well as the specific terms of the financial assistance are contained in the separate Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the parties. Both the TIF Plan and the Redevelopment Contract need to be approved in order for redevelopment projects involving tax increment to proceed. Qualifications of the proposed TIF district: Consulting firm LHB conducted a TIF district feasibility analysis to determine if the subject site qualified as a Redevelopment District under the MN TIF Act. After inspecting and evaluating the subject properties and applying current statutory criteria, LHB determined the property met the criteria to be qualified as a Redevelopment District. Duration of the proposed TIF district: Under the MN TIF Act, the maximum duration of redevelopment districts is up to 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the city (a total of 26 years of tax increment). However, the city’s expressed obligations to the redeveloper, per the terms of the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract, are estimated to be satisfied in approximately 12 years. Once those obligations are satisfied, the city may terminate the district. TIF district budget: The TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment funds generated by the District to reimburse for certain qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project as well as specified capital improvements and other costs associated with the District. The TIF Plan sets a maximum budget permissible, not the actual expected project budget. Interfund Loan: Staff is recommending the establishment of an interfund loan to allow the EDA to recoup certain administrative costs incurred by the EDA prior to commencement of the project. The interfund loan will be repaid through tax increment generated from the project. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the establishment the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District and authorization of an interfund Loan in connection with the administration of the new TIF district. Next steps: The Purchase and Redevelopment between the EDA and Bridgewater Bank which specifies the terms, conditions and amount of TIF assistance related to the proposed project is also scheduled for consideration by the EDA on August 6, 2018.

Now therefore be it resolved by the Board as follows: 1. The EDA hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a "redevelopment district" under Section 469.174, Subd. 10 (a)(1) of the Act, and finds that the adoption of the proposed TIF Plan conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to redevelop an area of the project area which is already built up and that the adoption & implementation of the proposed TIF Plan will help assist in the preservation and enhancement of the tax base of the City and the State and provide employment opportunities, through the construction of a mixed use building containing an office space including an entrepreneurial center, structured parking and retail space, thereby serving a public purpose. 2. The EDA further finds that the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs for the City as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the Project Area by private enterprise in that the intent is to provide only that public assistance necessary to make the private development financially feasible. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7b) Page 7 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District 3. The EDA elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b of the Act, which means the fiscal disparities contribution will be taken from inside the District. 4. Conditioned upon the approval thereof by the City Council following its public hearing thereon, the Plans (including the TIF Plan), as presented to the EDA on this date, are hereby approved, established and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Executive Director of the EDA. 5. Upon approval of the Plans by the City Council, City EDA staff and the EDA's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the Plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this Board for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. Approval of the Plans does not constitute approval of any project or development agreement with any developer. 6. Upon approval of the Plans by the City Council, the Executive Director of the EDA is authorized and directed to forward a copy of the Plans to the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Section 469.175, Subd. 4a of the Act. 7. The Executive Director of the EDA is authorized and directed to forward a copy of the Plans to the Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County (the “Manager”) and request that the Manager certify the original tax capacity of the District as described in the Plans, all in accordance with Section 469.177 of the Act.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares to facilitate the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project? Summary: Bridgewater Bank (“redeveloper”) proposes to redevelop three parcels (4424 & 4400 Excelsior Boulevard and 3743 Monterey Drive) located at the northeast quadrant of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive, raze the two vacant commercial buildings and construct a 4- story, 84,000 square foot Class A office building that would serve as its corporate headquarters (“project”). As part of the project, Bridgewater Bank proposes to purchase the vacant EDA property immediately to the north, located at 3743 Monterey Drive. Additionally, due to extraordinary costs associated with preparing the subject site for the proposed redevelopment, the redeveloper applied to the EDA for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance. The EDA/city council received a staff report detailing the redeveloper’s TIF application at the April 23, 2018 study session along with a recommendation for the appropriate level of assistance. On July 16, 2018, the EDA held a public hearing on the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with the redeveloper. The final step in the TIF process is to approve the proposed contract. Key business terms for providing the proposed financial assistance and conveyance of the 3743 Monterey Drive property were provided in the July 9, 2018 study session staff report (page 30). Financial or budget considerations: Under the proposed purchase and redevelopment contract, Bridgewater Bank agrees to construct the proposed office project as specified under the approved PUD and the EDA agrees to reimburse the redeveloper for qualified redevelopment costs up to $950,000 in property tax increment generated by the project. The financial assistance would be provided on a pay-as-you-go basis over a maximum term of 12 years. Additionally, the redeveloper would purchase the vacant property located at 3743 Monterey Drive needed by the project from the EDA for the appraised market value of $400,000. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Prepared by: Greg Hunt, Economic Development Coordinator Reviewed by: Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, EDA Executive Director/City Manager Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7c) Page 2 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares Discussion Background: Bridgewater Bank (“Redeveloper”) submitted plans to redevelop three properties totaling 2.42 acres located at the northeast corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive (“subject site”). Two of the properties, 4400 and 4424 Excelsior Boulevard are owned by Bridgewater and are occupied by two vacant, structurally substandard, commercial buildings. The third parcel, 3743 Monterey Drive, is a vacant, remnant property owned by the EDA which the redeveloper has requested to purchase. Present considerations: Bridgewater Bank proposes to raze the two structurally substandard buildings on the subject site and construct a 4-story, 84,000 gross square foot Class A office building that would serve as its corporate headquarters. The proposed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center’s ground floor would include 7,500 square feet of retail/service space, a 7,152 square foot bank branch, and a 4,700 square foot public area. The middle two floors would serve as the bank’s executive offices. The top floor would be occupied by a co-working entrepreneurial center designed to foster the growth and development of small businesses. The project also features a large pedestrian plaza at the corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive with extensive landscaping, outdoor seating, and space for public art. The proposed building also includes three levels of structured parking. The project will be constructed to meet the city’s green building and building readiness policies as well as the climate action plan. The second reading of the ordinance creating the PUD to allow construction of the proposed project on the subject site was approved by the city council on June 4, 2018. The renovated 4,400 square foot commercial building on the east side of the site and currently occupied by a Bridgewater Bank branch would remain and be leased for other commercial purposes. Bridgewater Bank envisions commencing its corporate office project this fall and completing it during the spring of 2020. Rendering of the proposed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7c) Page 3 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares Job retention and creation: Bridgewater Bank expects to retain 20 FTE positions in St. Louis Park and estimates it will add 263 new FTE jobs to the city as a result of the proposed project. The majority of the positions will offer annual wages in excess of $60,000. Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance: The total development cost to construct the proposed office building is approximately $36 million. There are significant extraordinary costs associated with redeveloping the subject site, altogether exceeding $2.4 million and preventing the proposed project from achieving a market rate of return. Consequently the redeveloper is requesting tax increment financing (TIF) assistance to offset a portion of these costs to enable the project to proceed. Level and type of financial assistance: Based upon its analysis of the redeveloper’s financial proforma, Ehlers (the EDA’s financial consultant) determined that the proposed building would not be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future but for the provision of $950,000 in tax increment assistance. The TIF assistance would be made available to exclusively reimburse the redeveloper for a portion of the qualified site preparation costs, provided to the redeveloper on a "pay-as-you- go" basis. It is projected that the TIF Note would be paid off in approximately 12 years with increment generated by the redevelopment. Conveyance of EDA property: As noted above, the EDA owns the vacant .5 acre property at 3743 Monterey Drive. It was acquired in 1996 as part of the land assemblage for the future Excelsior & Grand project and is currently a remnant. In order to accommodate the proposed mixed-use project, Bridgewater requested to acquire the vacant parcel from the EDA for its appraised market value of $400,000, subject to standard conditions specified in the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract. TIF application process: The EDA/city council received a staff report (page 90) detailing the redeveloper’s application for TIF assistance at the April 23, 2018 Study Session. On July 16, 2018, the EDA held a public hearing on the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with the redeveloper. TIF district approvals: On June 20, 2018, the planning commission reviewed the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing Plan as required by the MN TIF Act and determined it was in conformance with the city’s general redevelopment plans. On July 16, 2018, the city council held a public hearing regarding the establishment of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. On August 6, 2018, the EDA and city council will be asked to formally approve the establishment of the proposed TIF district along with the proposed contract. Property value and taxes: The current total market value of the subject site is under $4.2 million. The estimated market value of the site upon the proposed project’s completion (for TIF estimation purposes) is approximately $11.8 million and will likely be higher given current market conditions. It is estimated that the completed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center would generate approximately $443,500 in total property taxes annually. The city, county and Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7c) Page 4 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares school district would continue to receive the property taxes collected on the subject site’s Base Value. Once the TIF Note is retired, the additional property taxes generated by the project would accrue to the pertinent taxing jurisdictions. Application for Metropolitan Council grant: Bridgewater recently requested that the EDA submit an application to the Metropolitan Council for its Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant in the amount of approximately $1 million. Bridgewater is requesting the grant be used for lighting and landscaping upgrades to the plaza, underground stormwater and public portions of the parking structure. The funds would not be redundant with the site costs being reimbursed with TIF. An authorizing resolution allowing submission of the application will also be brought to the EDA for consideration at the August 6, 2018 meeting. Proposed purchase and redevelopment contract: The proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares (“redeveloper”) specifies the property acquisition terms and mutual obligations between the EDA and the redeveloper as well as the precise terms of the financial assistance to be provided. The contract is consistent with EDA policy, past practices and previous discussions with the EDA/city council. The following are key terms of the proposed contract. 1.The redevelopment property includes the following parcels: •4424 Excelsior Boulevard •4400 Excelsior Boulevard •3743 Monterey Drive. (“Remnant EDA Property”) 2.The required project to be constructed on the redevelopment property includes a four- story, 84,000 square foot, mixed-use building containing office space including an entrepreneurial center, retail space, and related structured parking. 3.Purchase of the Remnant EDA Property is required to occur no later than December 31, 2018, in the amount of $400,000 to be paid to the EDA at Closing. 4.Provision of tax increment financing (TIF) to the redeveloper is for a portion of the public redevelopment costs, in an amount up to $950,000. Payment will be made to the redeveloper through available tax increment generated by the project on a “pay-as-you- go” basis, over a period not to exceed 12 years and subject to a “lookback” provision verifying the amount of TIF assistance was justified. 5.Payment of reasonable administrative costs of the EDA by the redeveloper, including consultant and attorney fees, in connection with the project. 6.Project construction is required to commence by December 31, 2018 and be substantially completed by December 31, 2020. 7.The project is be constructed in compliance with the city’s Green Building Policy/Climate Action Plan requirements. Economic development authority meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 7c) Page 5 Title: Purchase and redevelopment contract with Bridgewater Bank and Bridgewater Bancshares 8.The redeveloper agrees to participate in the city’s Special Service District No. 2 and to become subject to special service charges levied on properties within the district. The above terms are subject to further definition, revision and/or refinement provided they do not alter the substance of the transaction. Summary: As indicated in the April 23, 2018 staff report (page 90), the proposed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project is not financially feasible but/for the provision of tax increment financing. The redevelopment meets the City’s objectives and Minimum Qualifications as well as nearly all Desired Qualifications for the provision of Tax Increment Financing as specified in the city’s TIF Policy. The proposed amount of TIF assistance is in-line with other developments the EDA has previously assisted. The EDA’s financial participation in the proposed redevelopment will facilitate the removal of two structurally substandard buildings, leverage $36 million in new investment and thereby bring the subject properties to optimal market value. The ratio of private-to-public investment in the project would be $38 to $1. Additionally, it would provide the community with new, Class A office/retail space, create approximately 263 new FTE jobs, as well as spur additional small business development within the city. The proposed project would also bring additional economic vibrancy to the Excelsior Boulevard commercial corridor consistent with the vision outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: Staff supports selling the 3743 Monterey Drive property needed by the proposed project for its appraised value of $400,000 and reimbursing Bridgewater Bank for qualified costs up to $950,000 in the form of pay-as-you-go tax increment generated by the project so as to advance the redevelopment. The attached resolution of approval allows for modifications to the contract that do not alter the substance of the transaction without bringing the contract back to the EDA for amendment.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA support the submission of a grant application to the Metropolitan Council LCDA program to facilitate the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project? Summary: As noted in the July 16, 2018 EDA staff report, Bridgewater recently requested that the EDA submit an application to the Metropolitan Council for its Livable Communities Demonstration Account (LCDA) grant for approximately $1 million. Bridgewater is requesting this grant be used for landscaping and lighting, underground stormwater, and public portions of the parking structure. These funds are not redundant with the site costs being reimbursed with TIF. Grant applications are due August 9, 2018 and require a resolution in support of the project from the governing body of the city where the project is located. Financial or budget considerations: The grant request is for $1 million. There is no match requirement for LCDA Development grants. The EDA would be the grant recipient, processing and reimbursing Bridgewater for eligible grant-related expenditures. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Now therefore be it resolved that, the St. Louis Park EDA authorizes its Executive Director to submit an application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant funds on behalf of Bridgewater Bank for the project component(s) identified in the application, and to execute such agreements as may be necessary to implement the project on behalf of the St. Louis Park EDA, where the project is located.

Recreation Supervisor, Lisa Abernathy, along with Summer Playground Supervisor Kelson MacKenzie will be in attendance to assist with the presentation. Policy consideration: Not applicable. Summary: There were 40 youth volunteers that completed the program this summer and collectively they have volunteered over 1,500 hours. The junior leaders program has been part of the Parks and Recreation Department for close to 33 years. Junior leaders volunteer during June and July in the summer playground program. The goal of this program is to offer 7th through 9th grade youth an opportunity to maintain their relationship with the summer playground program, while gaining valuable on-the-job experience assisting full-time leaders with other youth, ages six to twelve. Job responsibilities included assisting leaders with program activities, set-up and clean-up and initiating activities for playground participants. Junior leaders demonstrated responsibility, positive attitudes and a willingness to spend part of their summer volunteering their time at a neighborhood park. During their time in the parks this summer, they became role models for the program participants they worked with, as well as excellent helpers for the full-time leaders. This summer there were 16 playground sites with close to 800 kids registered. Along with playground staff, junior leaders play a key role in providing a positive experience for each participant. Junior leaders were required to work a minimum of 40 hours during the summer playground program. The junior leaders are rewarded with this special recognition, a letter of recommendation and passes to The Rec Center’s ice arena and Aquatic Park.

The Muddy Paws coffee shop idea has been changed now, but the group is still working with the owner of the coffee shop to set up an onsite snack area providing coffee in carafes, and pre-packaged treats. Ms. Julia Schmelzer stated their fundraising efforts have raised over $18,000 in community donations, and several more events have been planned this summer, while the team is working on writing grants. She stated the goal is to raise $55,000 by August 2018 and the group has School Board and District support on the endeavor. J.J. Harcene, a student at St Louis Park High School and Nest board member, stated she became involved with the group in February. She is learning life skills through her work on this project, giving presentations, and planning fundraisers. She stated the Nest will provide poetry nights and students will work with adults to provide connections. Ms. Barton stated the space found for the Nest is by far the best space, and the group can move in right away. There is green space, it’s not in a high traffic area, and is in a safe venue. Mr. Harmening stated city staff participated in the inspections of various properties the group looked at and helped with selecting a space for the Nest. Councilmember Harris thanked the group for their presentation, stating it is great to see this support, and clear that the group has put a great deal of thought into this project. She asked about the partnerships and who they are with. Ms. Schmelzer stated they are listed in the materials given to council, and include Gleason Printing, Perspectives, the police department, and DECA. Councilmember Brausen asked about the lease and liability insurance. Ms. Bucholz stated the rent is a flat rate, and the group will pay for their own utilities, while the owner will pay for snow removal. She added there are some general insurance packages available, but they have not reviewed them yet. She noted they will have insurance for the building. Councilmember Brausen stated the city attorney has reviewed this, adding he wants the Nest and the city protected. Councilmember Rog asked with the $55,000 goal, if the group did receive the $25,000 from the city, would that include the $18,000 already raised. Ms. Schmelzer stated yes. Councilmember Hallfin asked what the current zoning allows for. Ms. Barton stated the maximum occupancy is 50 people, but the zoning does not allow for a traditional coffee shop, and only allows for convenience and packaged foods and thermos pots of coffee. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 3 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Councilmember Hallfin stated he understood from the beginning the group wanted a coffee shop and asked if they might ask for a zoning change later. Ms. Schmelzer stated the coffee shop would need high-paying patrons, so after further review, they decided not to go this route, and feature air pots, Keurig machines, and the feel of a coffee shop. Councilmember Mavity stated if the budget is $81,000 and the group has raised only $18,000, does the group have a contingency plan if they only raise $50,000, while also pointing out the July 1 planned opening date. Ms. Schmelzer stated the group has discussed contingencies and what are the bare essentials needed to start. She noted they would need wifi and to have enough money set aside to pay the rent and pay staff for 1-year guarantee, while doing more fundraising. Councilmember Mavity asked what kind of ongoing volunteer or paid fundraising support the group has to sustain over time. Ms. Schmelzer stated they plan to sell more food products and generate revenue through events such as open mic night, ticket sales, selling student art, and other programming in order to ramp up – and not ask the city for money beyond the third year. She stated everyone involved is a volunteer, they will continue to pursue grants, and also plan to do an annual gala, while tapping into the community. She also added the DECA students will help with marketing and the business model. Councilmember Mavity asked about outcomes, and how will the group know if they have succeeded. Ms. Schmelzer stated outcomes will be both qualitative and quantitative, adding they hope to see many demographic groups involved, the space will be for everyone – and will reach diverse groups. Councilmember Mavity stated it all sounds good and these are great ideas with lots of energy, but she wants to understand the plans fully. Councilmember Mavity asked when they will have numbers on their metrics and goals. Ms. Schmelzer stated the group has their expected revenue goal for the first year and occupancy expectations also. Mayor Spano stated he is curious how the group plans to open their doors in 90 days, if they are still so far from their monetary goal and asked if the council approves the $25,000 for funding, does the group have anyone to match that figure. Ms. Schmelzer stated even if they are not at the $55,000 goal, they still plan to open the Nest. Mayor Spano added if one small thing goes wrong, or the coordinator leaves, there is a thin margin of error. Ms. Schmelzer stated if they lose their staff person, parent volunteers will help, and if they need to close doors or decrease hours, they will do so, depending on the situation. Mayor Spano stated he had a conversation with the Hopkins’ Mayor related to The Depot, and their success has come from foot traffic and the business of Excelsior Boulevard. He added he has concerns about the person running the food service being someone with experience. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 4 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Mayor Spano stated this is a profound shift from what the council was presented in February, when the Nest was pitched as a teen center and coffee shop idea, and now it’s been scaled way back. He asked the group to describe the potential funders, adding when presenting face-to- face with funders, who is at the meetings and what is being said. Ms. Cleveland stated she is a parent and volunteer board member with some grant writing experience, who has been working on some of the grant writing. She stated the group has a team of grant writers now, and 2-3 people present, including students. She noted the presentations have been with medium-range funders, and the meetings have been enthusiastic, with about 7 students attending. Mayor Spano stated it will be important for the students, including J.J., to be in attendance at the funding presentations, as it is about the impact and the story and connection with the students that will make a difference in whether or not the group is funded. Councilmember Mavity stated she has concerns about the project and stated the council is acting like a foundation board, which they are not. She noted she finds the stories of the students compelling and wants this to be successful; however, the questions she has raised have not been addressed. She noted she will not support this now, as she does not think it is a viable or sustainable plan, and not yet a true partnership. She stated she is a steward of resident’s money, and she is not comfortable with this business plan. Councilmembers Hallfin, Rog, Brausen and Harris stated they will support it. Mayor Spano added he will support it as well; however, does share the same concerns as Councilmember Mavity. He added that $25,000 is not a massive investment, but there is more work to be done. He stated to the students in the room, this will be a place for everyone which means that even people who disagree with you must also be made to feel welcome there. He added there needs to be a place for all kids in the city to go and he is putting this out as a challenge to the students – to create a space for their friends and for those who are not their friends. He stated this will help everyone learn to respect one another. The consensus of the council was to move forward with the funding request of $25,000. This item will be on the council agenda with the draft agreement for approval at the June 4, 2018 meeting. 3. Bicycle sharing discussion Ms. Heiser stated in January, Lime approached city staff to discuss implementation of dockless bicycles in St. Louis Park. An interdepartmental dockless bicycle taskforce was formed to discuss the emerging technology and how it relates to St. Louis Park. The group met monthly and had a demonstration of dockless bike sharing technology from Lime. The taskforce has developed two options for the city to pursue at this time and are seeking council direction on next steps. a. No action at this time/Monitor activities in other cities b. Actively pursue bicycle sharing in St. Louis Park City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 5 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Ms. Heiser stated before a final decision is made, staff recommends engaging the public to receive feedback regarding bicycle sharing in the community. She added staff does not want to take this to the public before receiving direction from the council. Councilmember Mavity stated she had a conversation with the head of Nice Ride, who is designing a plan for Minneapolis, about how to manage this for the two cities. She recommended the city just leap into the program, especially since technology is moving so fast. She stated it will be important to participate with Edina and Golden Valley jumping in, adding it should provide a north/south route option as well. Councilmember Miller agreed the technology is moving quickly, adding it will be important for the city to get into the game and actively pursue this. Councilmember Brausen stated he wholeheartedly believes the city should dive in now; however, he noted the problem of bike litter some cities are facing. Councilmember Hallfin stated the bike litter problem in other cities is concerning, and while he is not against bikes, he does not want to be the first one in the pool, and would like to see the problems figured out before jumping in. Councilmember Brausen asked staff for information on cities that have the program, to see the usage rates. He added he does not want to see the bikes litter the city, especially if the demand is for only a few dozen bikes. He noted there will need to be rules, yet he is in favor of moving ahead, and taking time to implement some controls, while listening to the public to see if there is a demand. Councilmember Harris stated she likes the options staff has laid out. She added she reached out to the Bike and Walk the Park Facebook group, and people do favor it, as it gets them where they want to go. She suggested the Motivate program might be better. She noted when looking at this from an equity lens, it would be good for the folks in the Aquila neighborhood and apartment buildings in non-commercial areas. She said the city should dive in and be flexible as the technology unfolds. Councilmember Rog stated she was undecided and suggested St. Louis Park wait to see what other communities are doing first. Mr. Manibog stated by 2020, docked bike stations will be phased out and replaced by dockless bikes. Mayor Spano stated he does want to do this, but is not confident yet. He stated in Lawrence, KS, they have this program and he never saw them littered there, but has heard about the stories, adding that in some cities dockless does not work. He stated he would like to explore this further, would like to see what form the program takes, and how it goes this summer in Edina and Golden Valley. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 6 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Mr. Harmening stated with this technology is it just a matter of time before this will be in St. Louis Park and other areas. He noted this is in alignment with city transportation goals. He added he would like to reach out to other communities as well to hear from them, noting this would not be able to roll out in St. Louis Park before 2019. Councilmember Rog added if the city does not use corrals or locks, it will be more work to retrain folks; however, now may not be a good time to do this since staff is very busy. Councilmember Rog stated she also likes the idea of electric bikes as an option for some folks, and when the program is rolled out - it would be nice to have the maximum number of residents participate. Mayor Spano stated the council is interested, but added public process is part of the city’s brand and the council will want to have a conversation with the community first about what residents prefer. Ms. Heiser stated there will be more information on this as the summer progresses. 4. Office development proposal at 6009 Wayzata Boulevard The council was presented concept plans by the Davis Group and United Properties representatives and asked for their initial feedback and comments on the proposed office development and proposed relocation of the existing billboards. Councilmember Brausen stated this project is in his ward and asked what is on the site currently. Mr. Davis, Davis Group, stated Westside Office Park is there currently, noting the existing buildings are in poor condition and in disrepair. Mr. Davis noted the current name of the project is Xchange and the developers envision it as a busy, active, and social place, with a cutting-edge design that would attract tenants from downtown. He added it will be a Class A development and will attract many jobs to St. Louis Park. Mr. Serato, the architect, stated the area has been totally underutilized and they are looking to utilize it as best as possible. He noted the concept will be LEED certified as well. Ms. Rasmussen, United Properties, stated in planning for the property, they researched the history of the area and hope to create a design that fits in with the area, which features the West End and creates a flow. Mr. Davis stated they are asking for the council’s partnership on the issue with Clear Channel and removing the sign, in order to move the project forward. He noted Clear Channel will remove the billboard and ask the city to do digital signage in another location of the city, as they own the piece of land the billboard currently sits on. Councilmember Brausen asked the square footage per employee. Mr. Davis stated the 115,000 square foot multi-tenant office building would feature approximately 175-225 square feet per employee. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 7 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Councilmember Brausen asked about an anchor tenant and what the plans were. Mr. Davis stated they need a single tenant to move forward and currently have two companies interested. Councilmember Brausen stated he represents Ward 4 and today is the first he has heard of the project. He noted he likes the concept and would be interested in a Class A office building in this location. He stated he has concerns there is no anchor tenant, which makes it the second project in the West End that cannot identify an anchor tenant. He added he struggles with the billboard issue, noting the city has relocated billboards before, stating he is not comfortable with digital billboards. Councilmember Harris stated she is generally in favor of the project, and it presents a good use of space for the area. She noted the townhouses to the east will have a big change in the area with this design, and she would appreciate hearing more. Mr. Davis stated a buffer would be included with trees and green space, similar to a project they completed recently in Maple Grove. Councilmember Harris asked about travel management, noting most folks would arrive by car to the building. She asked if there is anything in the city code that requires activating a living streets policy, including sidewalks or bike parking. Mr. Walther stated there are a number of requirements, including sidewalks and bike parking. He added the site also benefits from reducing parking on site and other amenities to promote biking. Councilmember Rog added she shares concerns about not having an anchor tenant, as Councilmember Brausen stated. She asked about the developer’s approach on building the parking ramp in a way that it could be used in a different way in the future. Mr. Serato stated that can be explored further. Councilmember Rog stated she has also heard some folks say the LEED certification is not worth it. Mr. Serato stated there are some benefits to the benchmarking of LEED certification along with a healthy intent. He added they are also ready to create a green building, adding that LEED is a robust check list for certification of the project. He also stated they will approach sustainability as well as engage more with the city. Councilmember Mavity stated this is a great concept and she would be supportive of it. She asked staff if the city has a policy in place to eliminate billboards when they can, and if elimination is an eligible expense. Mr. Hunt noted Clear Channel would be willing to sell the billboard for $3 million; however, the city is not interested in moving the billboard elsewhere, and there is a policy in place to remove billboards as we can. Councilmember Mavity stated since the city does have policies and this project would add value to the city, she would be willing to look at how the city can problem-solve this issue. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 8 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Councilmember Miller stated this is valuable and a good use of space, adding he likes the design, and would be interested in removing the billboard to make the space function better. Mr. Harmening stated the city has a decades-old policy on billboard removal, noting this might need to be explored and the policy be reviewed further. It was the consensus of the council to have staff move forward on this concept plan and to explore options for removing the billboard. 5. Draft 2040 comprehensive plan Ms. McMonigal reviewed the timeline of the plan with the council, noting the summary in the staff packet. She stated the draft plan was changed to reflect council’s comments from the May 14 study session, and the new outline was provided to the council along with a general description of each section of the plan. Ms. McMonigal noted a community on-line survey of several proposed goals/strategies/ directions began on May 14 and will continue through June 20. She noted the survey is being advertised widely, including the city’s website and social media sites, along with Nextdoor, ParkTV, and at neighborhood meetings. As of today, over 1000 surveys had been received. Councilmember Harris asked how the feedback from residents is being incorporated into the plan. Ms. McMonigal stated the consultant will summarize and review the feedback and see if it impacts any of the goals or plans. Councilmember Harris asked from a user perspective, how residents will know if they were heard. Mr. Barton stated the feedback will be included on the city website and can be advertised as well, after being shared with the council first. Councilmember Rog stated she would like to see stronger wording related to the food access issue. Ms. McMonigal stated this would go back to council for further discussion and decision, to address what the city’s role is. Mr. Harmening stated just because there is a group in St. Louis Park that has a passion about food, the city cannot assume this is the only issue of certain groups in the city and it may be triggered by other issues. Mayor Spano stated the council is not challenging that food security issues exist, and it is in the hierarchy of needs, adding the city will need to talk more to families about this and find out what are the issues that lead to food insecurity. Councilmember Mavity added the city will not want to pre-suppose the results of a study, so it will need to be evidence-based. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 9 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Councilmember Miller stated the plan will need to give the correct amount of weight to visions and translating strategic directions. He added he did not see youth under social capital, but saw parks there, noting there is more to preparing the next generation than improving parks. He noted this should include mental health in the city and security around schools. Ms. McMonigal noted schools are embedded in the youth sections, including what the school district is doing. She noted education is not the city’s role and she is not certain how this would be framed in the plan. Ms. McMonigal noted she would look at revising these areas to make them more prominent. Councilmember Mavity stated the alignment of the themes are disjointed and the How We Govern section does not seem to align with the six bullets. Ms. Barton noted the icons in the document speak to the strategic directions. Councilmember Brausen stated the Metropolitan Council does not ask the city to put everything into the comprehensive plan that we want to do in our city. Ms. McMonigal noted the draft plan will come back to the council on June 18th. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal) Councilmember Mavity asked about the League of MN Cities conference, and if staff is attending. She stated it is in St. Cloud, June 20, 21, 22, and noted she will be presenting 1 hour on housing and helping to identify affordable housing supporters around the state. Mr. Harmening stated he has not yet heard of anyone attending. He did note that at the conference, Chief Harcey will accept an award on behalf of the police department related to the Pathways to Policing program. Councilmember Rog noted she has contacted staff related to a concern about some multi- family homes in the Inglewood area at West 31st Street. She noted they are NOAH properties and single-family homes, many of which are owned by the same person. She stated the residents there are really vulnerable to being displaced, and this is an opportunity to be proactive in whatever way the city can. She stated she is working with staff to get more information. Councilmember Harris noted there are three neighborhoods not organized in Texatonka, and there will be a meeting on Thursday from 6-8 p.m. to address this, and to find 5 people to start up a neighborhood group in their areas. Councilmember Brausen stated he and Councilmember Mavity will attend the Democratic Convention in Rochester, June 1-3, and if anyone has any issues they would like brought forth, please let him know. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3a) Page 10 Title: Study session minutes of May 29, 2018 Mr. Harmening stated the July 2 council meeting will be cancelled. He felt the council was taking on too much and too many topics, and in some cases, is not well prepared. He noted with the amount of work the council is pursuing and the number of meetings being held each month, the pace cannot be sustained. He also stated he is concerned about the quality of decisions being made and felt there was an urgent need for more prioritization. Councilmember Mavity asked if staff can present ideas in a more developed format, so council can review at a higher level. Councilmember Brausen asked if some topics can be presented as a written report only vs. an in-depth conversation. Councilmember Rog appreciated Mr. Harmening’s comments, and asked if staff could hold off some topics before they are brought to council for discussion. Mayor Spano stated it is very important that all councilmembers, including himself, read all of the staff materials prior to the meetings, so everyone is aware in advance of topics on the agenda prior to the meeting. Mr. Harmening added staff can develop a template for council members regarding discussions. He noted he will send out some ideas to the council on this concept. The meeting adjourned at 10:10 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 6. Buckthorn management program 7. Utility improvements at 2837 Ottawa Ave. S. 8.

Councilmembers absent: None. Staff present: Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Management Assistant (Ms. Carrillo Perez), Racial Equity Coordinator (Ms. Sojourner), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). Guest: None 1. Advancing racial equity update and council discussion Ms. Sojourner stated the presentation and discussion will be about reflection and conversation, not about “doing” at this time. Ms. Sojourner gave an overview of the racial equity framework of St. Louis Park, including a summary of staff activities, an overview of diversity, racial equity, and inclusion assessment plan. She also noted learning opportunities currently being conducted with staff and future opportunities which will be coming up for council as well. Ms. Sojourner stated she is currently conducting the first phase of a baseline assessment of city staff using two different tools to look at intercultural issues. These tests are the MCOD and IDI assessments. She noted all assessments will be looked at through the racial equity lens at all times, and the council will participate in the IDI assessment. Ms. Sojourner explained through these inclusion learning opportunities, there will be observation and ways to learn how racial equity can best support the work of the council in making policy and decisions. Ms. Sojourner noted various areas of concern to explore and discuss including the following learning opportunities: • Sense of urgency – looking through a white normative cultural lens makes it difficult to be inclusive, especially when moving at too rapid a pace, and when there is no opportunity for pause. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 2 Title: Special study session minutes of June 4, 2018 • Can frequently result in sacrificing potential allyship for quick or highly visible results, which allows whites to share their need for urgency, sacrificing the interests of people of color in order to win victories. She noted the concern here is trusting a source that is not representative of first-hand persons who are navigating the situation. • Either/or thinking – this includes thinking that is either good/bad, right/wrong, with us/against us, racial equity/not racial equity. Here Racial Equity should be the fabric of how decisions are made, vs. trying to simplify complex things. There is no quick fix, and no time to encourage or consider alternatives. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin asked the council for their feedback. Councilmember Harris stated she appreciates Ms. Sojourner’s report and comments and is open to exploring this further. She invited everyone on the council to start thinking in this way, adding she has to change her own thinking. She invited others to come with her, and noted the “sense of urgency” issue, stating she would be happy slowing things down a bit. Councilmember Mavity added she does feel the urgency piece and appreciates Ms. Sojourner’s comments. She stated she is an impatient person, and feels like the council has been doing this work for a while, so she would like to see action; however, added the council cannot let perfect be the enemy of good. She stated she is frustrated by not having more community conversations on this, adding she does not want to wait too long to start having more public conversations. Councilmember Brausen stated in interactions with the HRC, there were frustrations, and the council is learning as well. He noted the council feels obligated to continue to move this work along, but he does understand that much like democracy, this is a messy process with no clear- cut solutions. He agreed with Councilmember Mavity that the council has been pushing for results, adding he would like to see more people of color on the council. Councilmember Miller stated he is also reflecting on those 500 years of oppression. He asked what sort of framework is there for the council to pause and reflect, adding the council’s work seems small and like there should be more urgency in this area. Councilmember Rog concurred with the other councilmembers, adding she is interested in what Ms. Sojourner is saying, and is curious and open to it. She noted she is excited for this work, Ms. Sojourner’s expertise, and asked about evidence or measurements on racial equity work, that might be available for the council to review. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin stated he is honored to be on this city council, and involved in this conversation, while having Mr. Sojourner present and informing the council on these issues makes him emotional. He stated these conversations were not happening 3 years ago, and St. Louis Park is moving faster than the communities around it. He noted working on these issues is a marathon, not a sprint, and the council is in this for the long haul. He added every single day that Ms. Sojourner is here working on this, and the council is talking about mistakes of the past and what can be better in the future, makes it a better day. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 3 Title: Special study session minutes of June 4, 2018 Ms. Sojourner noted the council can slow things down and make decisions fast at the same time, while being cautious of the intent vs. the impact. Ms. Sojourner explained how the IDI assessment looks at cultural competency. She added the assessment will look at skills and tools to shift cultural perspective and adapt behavior to cultural commonality and difference. She noted she will meet with each councilmember individually after they complete the assessment, get their results, and help coach each councilmember. Each councilmember will have an individual plan and all assessments are confidential and will not be shared. Ultimately, there will be individual feedback sessions and a group feedback session with the councilmembers. Ms. Sojourner added there is no wrong or right place to be on the continuum of cultural competency, and by doing the assessment, it will help the council gain the skills to navigate cultural differences. Mayor Spano arrived at the meeting at 6:30 p.m. Ms. Sojourner noted the online assessment will be sent by email to the council during June 11 – June 27 and individual feedback sessions will occur June 18 – July 18, with the group feedback session in late summer/early fall of 2018. Ms. Sojourner added city staff is in the process of doing the assessment and will start the feedback session on June 11, adding the whole process for city staff will be a five-year phase out plan. Ms. Sojourner also pointed out this work will include creating an affirming environment for Trans* individuals as well. Councilmember Rog noted she has a friend, who has a Trans* son, and who has done work on this topic with the St. Louis Park School District. She noted several areas that she would like to explore for future discussion including: 1. Advocate to change paperwork for gender 2. Signage with non-discrimination policies 3. Basic environment changes and changes on how people are addressed Councilmember Harris asked about signage on bathrooms in city buildings adding she would like to see this brought forward. Ms. Deno stated there is signage now in all city buildings, and there are now all-gender restrooms available as well. She noted city staff is working with Ms. Sojourner on all city signage, and in the schools as well. Ms. Deno added this is an area where hearing the voices of those involved in these issues is important, instead of hearing from others. Mayor Spano noted he would like to explore policy for the larger community and look at education opportunities for the community. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3b) Page 4 Title: Special study session minutes of June 4, 2018 Ms. Sojourner stated she appreciates the council’s patience on this and is looking forward to meeting with each councilmember individually, adding the council is doing great things. She noted she appreciates the real and honest, sometimes hard conversations about racial equity, adding that not every community or council in the Twin Cities are having these hard conversations, and she encouraged the council to continue their journey. Board and commission council discussion Due to lack of time, this topic will be discussed at a future study session. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Jake Spano, Mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Minutes: 3c Unofficial minutes City council meeting St. Louis Park, Minnesota June 4, 2018 1.

Public hearing – Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado dba Chipotle Mexican Grill – on-sale intoxicating and on-sale Sunday liquor license. Ms. Deno presented the staff report. She noted all is in order related to this application for the property located at 5580 Excelsior Blvd. She stated the police department conducted a full background investigation, and nothing was discovered that would warrant denial of the license. The request is to consider the amount paid towards the liquor license at the current location of 5480 Excelsior Blvd., and pro-rates the remaining amount due for June 28, 2018 through March 1, 2019. Mayor Spano opened the public hearing. No speakers were present. Mayor Spano closed the public hearing. Councilmember Mavity stated she is glad the applicants were able to find a new location in order to remain in St. Louis Park. It was moved by Councilmember Mavity, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve application from Chipotle Mexican Grill of Colorado, LLC dba Chipotle Mexican Grill, for an On-Sale Intoxicating and On-Sale Liquor License for the premises located at 5580 Excelsior Blvd, with a license term of June 28, 2018-March 1, 2019. The motion passed 7-0. 7. Requests, petitions, and communications from the public – none 8. Resolutions, Ordinances, Motions and Discussion Items 8a. SLP Nest funding agreement. Ms. Barton presented the staff report. She noted the SLP Nest Board is requesting funding from the city for $25,000 to assist with lease payments for the student space, space improvements, staff salary, and programming expenses. She noted the students have a goal of opening the space on September 4, 2018. Councilmember Brausen asked if the structure of this funding agreement is a matching grant, and if the group has been engaged in fundraising of their own. Ms. Barton stated yes, that is correct. Mayor Spano stated he received a letter from the school board, clarifying their level of support adding he will include the letter in the final materials and approval of the project. Councilmember Miller stated for the record, he has not been on the board of The Nest but has been an advisor to this group for the past two years. He noted this has been one City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 4 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 4, 2018 of the most fulfilling projects he’s been involved in while on the council, and it has been a joy to see all the learning over the past two years. He noted the hours spent brainstorming the concept, creating bylaws, establishing the group’s 501(c) (3) status, along with the countless presentations made by the students and parents to many groups, including Hennepin County. He stated the students have had to communicate their passion for this concept and field questions, and the achievements have been tremendous to see, including learning about conflict resolution. He stated it has been a truly great learning experience and he looks forward to the opening of The Nest on September 1st. Councilmember Brausen stated he will support this proposal adding it is the type he relishes in the community. He stated it is organic, and he is happy to have used city funds to help the students grow, adding this is a worthwhile investment. He stated it is supported by parents and will be a welcoming and inclusive environment for students after school, and he wishes them all the success in the world. Councilmember Harris stated she will also support The Nest, noting one parent of a middle school child transitioning to high school stated her daughter sees this as a group where she will find social acceptance. Councilmember Harris added this is a place for students to decompress, connect, find their way, and hang out. She commented on how much our community cares about our youth, and stated she wants the city to work on preparing our youth and living out that vision. Councilmember Rog added her congratulations and thanks to all who have worked on this project, adding she will support this as well. She stated to the group they are providing a service, and many folks are waiting in the wings to donate to this cause. Councilmember Mavity stated she appreciated her colleague’s comments and all the work done by those involved, noting it sounds like a wonderful community asset, and leadership experience for the students. She noted she has asked a number of questions on the business side of this that have not been answered. She stated after working on this project for two years, only $20,000 has been raised for an $81,000 budget, adding this does not sound like a sustainable plan. Councilmember Mavity said she has asked about outcomes and metrics and measures for success, and how the group will know if their first year is successful. This has not been clearly answered to her satisfaction from a business standpoint. She applauded the efforts but stated this is not a good investment for the city, as it does not pass the basic questions from the business perspective, adding regrettably she will not be supporting this project. Mayor Spano stated this has been a good experience for students, and he has liked seeing students front and center on this issue, learning how to answer questions, and he will support this. He added $25,000 is a relatively small amount to offer, noting a comment by former Police Chief Luse, “all everyone really wants is a shot to make it work”. Mayor Spano stated this is seed money, and he hopes the students can make a go of it. It was moved by Councilmember Miller, seconded by Councilmember Brausen, to approve the SLP Nest Funding agreement. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 5 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 4, 2018 The motion passed 6-1 (Councilmember Mavity opposed). 8b. Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center preliminary and final planned unit development. Ordinance No. 2538-18. Ms. Monson stated the city council approved the preliminary and final plat and the first reading of the ordinance on May 21, 2018. Councilmember Mavity recused herself from the discussion and vote. Councilmember Brausen stated this is the result of hundreds of hours of meetings and community discussions, and development plans reviewed over multiple years, adding he is happy to see this finally come to fruition. Mayor Spano added he will support this, noting the design of this building is vastly superior to what has been seen on that site and provides a nice contrast to what is already there, with good north/south connections. He added it will not be without traffic challenges; however, much work has been done to mitigate that and adjustments will be made as needed. He added with Trader Joe’s being across the street as commercial, with residential, this new development bringing more commercial, and a major anchor business for day time business and restaurants, there is some balance restored to the area and in sync with the original master plan. It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Hallfin, to adopt Ordinance No. 2538-18, 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 property located at 4424 and 4400 Excelsior Blvd. and 3743 Monterey Drive, and approve the Summary Ordinance for publication. The motion passed 6-0-1 (Councilmember Mavity abstained). 8c. 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. Councilmember Brausen stated the proposed pedestrian bridge above Burlington Northern is a pedestrian/bicycle bridge at Dakota and Edgewood Avenues. He noted the city has been working on building this for years and has now been successful in securing federal funding for $2.9 million. He added he is hopeful taxpayers will agree this was a worthwhile delay, and the intention here is to hire consultants and invite residents to be involved in upcoming discussions about the project. It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Rog, to authorize execution of a professional services contract with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in the City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3c) Page 6 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 4, 2018 amount of $499,309 for the preliminary and final design of the Dakota-Edgewood Trail Bridge, Project No. 4019-2000. The motion passed 7-0. 9. Communications Mayor Spano thanked Boy Scout Troop #282 for asking permission to put up signs for the Waffle and Sausage Breakfast fundraiser. Councilmember Brausen noted the event is on June 16. Ms. Deno stated on Monday, June 11, at 6 p.m., the skate park event will be held at Carpenter Park. She added the St. Louis Park pool at the Rec Center and swim pad are now also open. Councilmember Rog stated on Thursday, June 7, from 8 – 10 p.m. there is an IFTAR open house hosted by the police. There will a presentation on Islam and breaking of the fast. More information can be found on the city website. Councilmember Hallfin stated Parktacular is next week and is a great festival that St. Louis Park celebrates each year. June 16 is the grand parade and the The Roc will host a concert. More events and information can be found at Parktacular.org. Councilmember Harris noted the annual spring clean-up event on June 9 will be held at the city Municipal Center from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. and more information is available on the city website. Councilmember Mavity stated on Tuesday, June 19, there is a Fire Station open house at 5:30 p.m. Councilmember Brausen stated on Saturday, June 16 there is a hazardous household waste drop-off at the city Municipal Service Center. He also encouraged folks to go on the website to participate in the ongoing comprehensive plan survey and share their thoughts. Mayor Spano stated this past Sunday was 15th anniversary of a Buddhist Temple being in MN, noting the Buddhist Temple in St. Louis Park recently changed their name, and a high-ranking monk will be coming to rededicate the temple along with the Consul General from Thailand. He encouraged folks to stop by and learn more about Buddhism. 10. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:03 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Jake Spano, Mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Minutes: 3d Unofficial minutes City council study session St. Louis Park, Minnesota June 11, 2018 The meeting convened at 6:30 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), Director of Operations and Recreation (Ms. Walsh), City Attorney (Mr. Mattick), Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Solid Waste Program Specialist (Ms. Barker), City Clerk (Ms. Kennedy), Election Specialist (Mr. Stokka), Planning and Zoning Supervisor (Mr. Walther), Communications Manager (Ms. Larson), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). Guest: Xinci Tan, MN GreenCorps Member 1. Future study session agenda planning – June 18 & 25, 2018 Mr. Harmening noted the financial report will be presented at the June 18th meeting. Councilmember Rog stated she would like to see the climate action plan and race equity goals included in the staff report each week, and also used in the context of new development plans, and when in discussions with developers. Councilmember Mavity stated she would support the intent of this. Mr. Harmening stated this could be added to the background section of the executive summary, as applicable. Councilmember Miller noted on every topic that comes before the council, the councilmembers should ask themselves if it meets their strategic priorities related to race equity and climate action. Mr. Harmening stated he will work on this with Ms. Larson, perhaps creating a template for the background section, and how a topic would be applicable to the council’s strategic priorities. 2. 2017-2018 Minnesota GreenCorps project update Ms. Barker stated that 40% of St. Louis Park’s population live in multi-family residences. She noted that the city has very little data regarding recycling in multi-family buildings, which is why Ms. Tan has focused on this. Even though Ms. Tan has worked on a variety of projects including curbside organics and parks recycling in the past year, she only presented the findings from her main project on multi-family recycling. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 2 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Ms. Tan stated that when she started with the city in September of 2017, she began collecting data on existing recycling facilities in multi-family buildings. Ms. Tan noted she visited 73 buildings within the city, which makes up 88% of all multi-family units. Of that, 51 buildings already are in compliance with the ordinance. Ms. Tan stated while working with building managers, she asked if they would send out a general recycling survey to residents, and to date, Ms. Tan has received 185 responses. Ms. Tan added she has done 6 recycling workshops at multi-family properties, for a total of 61 participants, who are very interested in recycling. Additionally, she noted, the majority of owners are enthusiastic about recycling. Ms. Tan stated that she has seen a variety of recycling setups during her site visits. She reviewed examples of recycling dumpsters that meet the ordinance requirement of having labels at least 8”x11” large, with images of accepted recyclables. She also pointed out several other instances where signage does not meet the ordinance, or where signage is non-existent. In these instances, Ms. Barker stated staff was able to contact all haulers and received permission to label any dumpsters with the proper signage, if they were not already in compliance. Ms. Tan stated during visits she provided translated recycling guides, tote bags, stickers, and information on local recycling or donation options. She noted she has written two quarterly newsletters as well. Ms. Tan added she conducted post workshop surveys with residents, surveying 84 individuals and the average improvement rate was 42%. Councilmember Mavity asked what the options are for organics disposal. Ms. Tan stated there are 4 drop sites within the city, and a 5th one is being considered. Councilmember Rog thanked Ms. Tan for all the work she has completed and asked if it is correct that recyclables be dropped into bins with no paper bag. Ms. Barker stated that is correct because items stick to the paper bag once they go into the trucks, so it is better that items not be bagged. She added empty paper bags can be put into the recycle bins separately. Councilmember Rog asked if handouts can be given or signs posted in parks about recycling. Ms. Tan stated this information is found online, and they are hoping to post it at parks and focus on events. Councilmember Harris thanked staff for their work on this and appreciated the survey. She asked what items folks thought were recyclable, but actually are not. Ms. Tan stated chipped glass items and Pyrex dishes, adding these are items for the trash, and not recyclable. Councilmember Brausen added he appreciated the nice work on the recycling workshop and asked how often multifamily housing is inspected. Ms. Barker stated inspections are conducted annually. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 3 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Councilmember Brausen stated given the higher numbers of St. Louis Park residents living in multifamily housing, the city might want to look at doing inspections two times per year, and also revisit the plastic bag issue. Councilmember Brausen asked Ms. Tan if there was anything she observed within the city that was worth noting. Ms. Tan stated the city’s residents are smart, highly educated, and with the workshops, they do learn more. She added it will be important to continue to focus on education. Councilmember Miller stated he was impressed with the success rate in visiting all the buildings. Ms. Tan noted there is a high turnover rate of property managers, and it has been easier to contact the larger properties, as the smaller properties do not have central offices on sight, and trying to find them is more difficult. Mayor Spano thanked Ms. Tan for working on this issue, which is a topic the council is passionate about. Mayor Spano added he took the post workshop test on organics and recycling, and it was incredibly informative and enlightening. He learned plastic containers must be cleaned out before being put into bins, adding this is an opportunity to educate people. He noted the information sheets and signage were great and easy to understand. Ms. Barker stated in the new ordinance, there will be yearly education requirements for all residents, to be done by March 31st each year. She added this will be on the honor system, but there are all sorts of resources from the county, in many languages, and lots of good options available. Mayor Spano stated handouts and presentations could be made available at National Night Out, as this is a good way to reach folks. Ms. Tan added the city also has kits that residents can check out. She noted there is an upcoming recycling workshop on June 23rd at 10 a.m. and asked the councilmembers to please invite their constituents. Councilmember Harris asked if there is a planned approach to have recycling champions in each building. Ms. Tan stated no, but added they are present in the larger buildings. Councilmember Harris asked how residents can contact them. Ms. Barker stated regular emails are sent, with opportunities on how to get involved. 3. 2019 municipal elections: ranked choice voting planning and implementation Ms. Kennedy presented the staff report and noted this will be the first in a series of discussions about the rules required for the administration of municipal elections to implement ranked- choice voting. Ms. Kennedy introduced the city’s new Election Specialist, Robert Stokka, who will also be heavily involved in these discussions. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 4 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Ms. Kennedy stated this will be an opportunity to learn about various terms and concepts related to the ranked-choice voting process overall, and policy questions will be asked to build the foundation of the ordinance that will govern how municipal elections will be conducted in St. Louis Park. She added each discussion will allow for reflection through the lenses of equity, inclusion and accessibility for all of the people and groups that the city serves in elections. Ms. Kennedy added that Ms. Sojourner will also participate in some of these discussions in order to help with understanding the overall equity issues and impact of the decisions being made. Ms. Kennedy noted a sampling of the populations that are served by elections including, seniors, non-English speaking residents, first time new residents, new US citizens, military and overseas voters, candidates for office, and election judges. Ms. Kennedy stated the policy consideration for this discussion is whether or not the council agrees with following the Minneapolis model for the development of the rules of conduct for municipal elections. She stated this model has been proven to work with the city’s current voting equipment, which will factor into how ballots are counted. She also added that Hennepin County currently provides administrative support for elections and following the Minneapolis model would preserve that level of service. Ms. Kennedy noted if the city deviates from this model, it will impact the level of service the city receives from Hennepin County. Mr. Mattick reviewed legal considerations, noting the Minneapolis ordinance materials have been challenged, and upheld in the court system. He stated it is a template of something that worked and follows all state and federal elections laws where necessary. He noted the council will need to be mindful that the rules developed follow the principal of one person, one vote. Mr. Mattick added that Hennepin County has a certain amount of comfort and familiarity with the Minneapolis model and rules and procedures being used. Staff highlighted the key differences between the Minneapolis and St. Paul models. Ms. Kennedy explained the Minneapolis model allows for at least 3 rankings per office, whereas St. Paul provides for up to 6 rankings, if there are at least 6 candidates. Additionally, the St. Paul model requires counting by a hand count of physical ballots, whereas the Minneapolis model utilizes information exported on election night by the ballot counters to perform any tabulation that is required beyond the first round. Mr. Harmening added if the council decides to follow the Minneapolis model, staff will bring back discussion items to the council, and use the Minneapolis ordinance as a starting framework, knowing there will be options for deviation in certain circumstances. Councilmember Miller agreed the Minneapolis ordinance is fine and asked whether the topic of testing was important. Ms. Kennedy stated testing was a very important component of the ordinance because the city must lay out how it will test its equipment to prove to the general public that it is working and counting races properly. Councilmember Brausen agreed it seemed prudent to follow the Minneapolis model. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 5 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Councilmember Harris stated from an operations standpoint, following the Minneapolis model makes sense, and Hennepin County will support the model. Councilmember Rog agreed that the Minneapolis ordinance should be used as the model for St. Louis Park. She asked if staff will provide an information sheet for councilmembers and information on the city website as well, so residents will be informed. Ms. Kennedy stated yes, pointing out that Ms. Larson has already developed an extensive communication plan. She noted staff is being very deliberate in their communications to make it very clear that voters will not be using the ranked-choice method during the 2018 state election cycle. Ms. Deno added there will be assistance and support from the League of Women Voters as well. Ms. Kennedy stated staff is also engaging the city’s election judges in discussions on the process. Councilmember Mavity stated she also agrees with following the Minneapolis model. She added she would want to be sure if there were a multi-seat race, that the city allows for the school board to do ranked choice voting as well. Ms. Kennedy reminded council that under current state law the school district does not have the option to switch to a ranked-choice model. Councilmember Mavity stated she is confident in the future Hennepin County will adopt ranked-choice voting, and the more consistency the better. She added ease of understanding is important and less is more, the simpler the better is preferable in terms of the ordinance. Councilmember Hallfin stated from a policy standpoint, he is fine with all of this, and the easier the better. He added that St. Paul’s ordinance is actually easier to understand than Minneapolis’ ordinance. Ms. Kennedy stated the St. Louis Park ordinance will focus on plain language. Mayor Spano agreed with using the Minneapolis ordinance as the model, adding he is glad the city is not doing this before the upcoming election in November. He added it will be important that the first time ranked-choice voting is conducted in St. Louis Park, it runs smoothly. He added he agrees that the ordinance language must be plain and simple. It was the consensus of the city council to use the Minneapolis model as a framework for the St. Louis Park ordinance, and also directed staff to develop a definition of ranked-choice voting that incorporated plain language. 4. Retail, service and off-sale liquor store size requirements Mr. Walther stated there is no formal action required at this time. He stated the discussion will be preliminary research and possible options related to zoning map and zoning code amendments, to limit the sizes of certain commercial uses and in certain areas. He noted staff will be requesting further direction from council on these issues to help inform the scope of review that planning commission and staff may undertake. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 6 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Mr. Walther stated the policy consideration is as follows: • Does the city council support referring staff’s rezoning proposals to the planning commission for review and recommendation? • Does the city council support referring the proposed size limitations within C1 Neighborhood Commercial and Mixed-Use zoning districts to the planning commission for review and recommendations? • Does the city council want to address the size, concentration, or number of liquor stores in C2 districts through the liquor license regulations? Mr. Walther stated council directed city staff on February 20, to consider options for limiting the size of businesses within commercial districts through zoning regulations in an effort to avoid “big box” and “junior box” stores and promote smaller scale businesses in certain areas. Staff identified commercial areas where large retail stores may be inconsistent with city goals. Staff offered the following options to address the issue and restrict the size of some commercial uses within identified districts: • Rezoning some properties from C2 General Commercial to C1 Neighborhood Commercial, Mixed-Use, or other zoning district • Adding additional performance standards to the C1 Neighborhood Commercial district, Mixed-Use, and possibly other zoning districts Mr. Walther presented a map, noting pink areas are currently C2, and red areas that are also zoned C2 and could be considered for rezoning. Councilmember Mavity expressed concern about the old Sam’s Club site. Councilmember Hallfin asked if Miracle Mile businesses would be grandfathered in. Mr. Walther stated yes, and it would result in some limitations if they become legal, non- conforming uses. Mr. Walther also noted staff suggests the maximum size of 10,000 square feet within the C1 district for retail and service businesses, and up to 20,000 square feet for grocery stores with a CUP. Councilmember Miller asked if this can be done for grocery stores, why this can’t be done for liquor stores. Mr. Walther stated it can be done for liquor stores, but it would be more appropriate for such limitations to be included in the liquor licensing regulations than in the zoning code. The city council to-date has not agreed to size limitations, or the appropriate size limitations, to include in licensing regulations. Mr. Walther pointed out some considerations: - Liquor stores not allowed in C1 and MX zoning districts. If fewer areas are zoned C2, then it may result in liquor stores becoming more concentrated in the remaining properties zoned C2. - Establishing limits may create some nonconformities and prevent existing businesses from growing or expanding in the C1 or MX districts to more than 10,000 square feet. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 7 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 - Rezoning the areas shown would make some existing businesses and liquor stores non- conforming. - The city may want to explore exceptions to allow for certain anchor stores. Mr. Walther noted if council determines that it wants to address the number, size, and concentration of off-sale liquor stores, consider doing so in liquor licensing code. He noted next steps would be: - Planning Commission review proposed C1 neighborhood commercial zoning district regulations over the next 2-3 months - Planning Commission review rezoning properties from C2 General Commercial to C1 Neighborhood Commercial over the next 6-24 months - Amend liquor license ordinance, if desired, within the next 2 months Mr. Harmening pointed out on Excelsior Boulevard the city does not want to have 30,000 – 40,000 square foot businesses and wants to maintain the smaller business character there; however, that is not the case in all of St. Louis Park’s commercial districts, like where Home Depot is located. Councilmember Miller noted he likes the overall idea to regulate and move to smaller spaces; however, added the quantity of the space does not reflect the quality of space. He stated if the city can shift the balance to smaller businesses, he would support that. Councilmember Brausen stated he also supports this, if it is done with a specific purpose. He added he is opposed to limiting the number of liquor licenses but is fine with not allowing them in the C1 district. Councilmember Harris stated she is in favor of neighborhood business, but would like more information about some of the proposed changes where C2 would shift to C1 districts. She noted she would like to refer this to the planning commission for further review and would also like the council to review it again before going to public hearing. She said she would like to see more, smaller stores for liquor rather than large big box-type stores, in C2 near Home Depot, but definitely not in the Historic Walker-Lake area. Councilmember Rog asked why 10,000 square feet was chosen as the size limitation. Mr. Walther stated initially staff looked at 5,000 square feet but was trying to limit the number of businesses that would be made non-conforming, so went with 10,000 square feet instead. The limit could be amended through the process. Councilmember Rog stated the council has discussed wanting to see small neighborhood businesses for quite some time; however, she is not seeing this happen, and she would not be in favor of changing C1 to a maximum of 10,000 square feet. She stated she is in favor of continuing to find ways to help small businesses thrive, within that footprint. She added that the city has enough liquor stores, and she is in favor of setting some limits. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 8 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Councilmember Mavity noted that the information shows that there are many small businesses in St. Louis Park and they make up most of the business in the city already. She stated that she has some concerns about big box stores in the areas on the map and asked if liquor stores can be limited to 6,000 square feet in the C2 district. She added she would like to make sure the city allows for flexibility that might attract neighborhood accessibility and would want to support boutique-type shops in the C1 district, including liquor stores. Councilmember Hallfin stated he liked the staff report and agreed with Councilmember Mavity related to flexibility with boutique-type stores. He stated he would like to discuss this issue again, after the planning commission reviews it. Mayor Spano stated this is a complicated issue and he now feels less confident that the council knows what they want and is at a consensus. He stated he would like the planning commission to review and explore this also and make recommendations to the council. Mayor Spano added he is also a proponent of supporting small businesses, like in Miracle Mile shopping center where he does most of his shopping, adding however he does see value in the anchor tenant businesses. Councilmember Brausen stated ultimately the marketplace decides most of this; however, the council will need to deal with this sooner rather than later, and before the moratorium ends. It was the consensus of the council to have the planning commission review this in detail and send their recommendations to the council. 5. Minimum wage ordinance Mayor Spano stated this is only a conversation to decide if the council wants to explore this further. Councilmember Brausen stated the Citizen’s League is studying this currently in St. Paul and will be finished in August or September. He added he would like to discuss this issue and does not want St. Louis Park to become an island, when Minneapolis and St. Paul are pursuing this. He stated one-third of St. Louis Park citizens are making minimum wage and because this is below the median income it makes demands on the city for housing, medical, and food, and it’s a demand on the city’s resources. He noted service corporations, such as Target, are already doing this, and the city needs to build relationships with neighboring cities to further discuss this social issue. Councilmember Hallfin stated $15 an hour is still too low to be the minimum wage, adding he would rather go about this in a coalition of cities, stating St. Louis Park should not study this on their own. Councilmember Mavity stated in general, the city should do this, adding she likes the idea of timing, and since Minneapolis is already doing this, looking for partners makes sense. She noted Richfield may want to partner on this. Councilmember Mavity stated it takes $36,000 a year to afford an apartment in St. Louis Park, so if we are so committed to affordable housing, this would be a consistent move and direction for this council to go. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 9 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Councilmember Rog stated she would like to study this more, and wants to understand it, look at unintended impacts to small business which is a big concern and consideration that would need quite a bit of analysis, and also look at this with racial equity in mind, as it also relates to business owners. She added she wants to first know how many work in the city and live in the city, and wants to take this slow and look for stopping points along the way. Mr. Harmening noted there are 41,000 jobs in St. Louis Park, and only 5,000 who work in the city, reside in St. Louis Park. Councilmember Harris stated she has talked to businesses and there is concern about Minneapolis doing the $15 minimum wage. She asked how this can be reconciled, and if it fulfills the city’s objectives, adding she is not certain how everyone can win. Councilmember Harris agreed having a higher income is important for folks in St. Louis Park, but added she would want to see and explore data more thoroughly about people in the community and the businesses providing jobs. She added she would prefer to see a statewide initiative or a coalition of first ring suburbs study it first and not study this on our own. Councilmember Miller stated he would like to study it and his only concern is a negative perspective from city employers and impact on small business. Councilmember Mavity added the Federal Reserve is also doing a study of the impacts of the minimum wage. Mayor Spano stated he is not in favor of taking this on right now, noting he has an interest in raising the standard of living but this does not meet the vision statements or the strategic priorities just set by council. He noted companies that can absorb this are the larger businesses, and not the small businesses in our community. He added he does not think neighboring cities will look at this and if St. Louis Park has this discussion, it will be on its own. Mayor Spano stated we just approved the climate action plan and will be pushing our businesses hard for that. He noted the council did not identify minimum wage as one of our highest priorities, and he is not in favor of pursuing it. Mr. Harmening added the council just adopted the five highest priorities and he does not recall anything about minimum wage. He stated if this is something the council wants to take on, then there will be other items that need to come off the council’s plate. He stated businesses in the city will not support the climate action plan and increasing the minimum wage. Councilmember Miller stated he is not certain that staff has bandwidth to take on this issue, but the challenge is that this may be a racial equity issue, and that is one of the council’s strategic initiatives, adding he feels this is worth researching. Mayor Spano stated he does acknowledge that, but added some of the folks that are dealing with racial equity issues may then lose their jobs if the minimum wage is enacted. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3d) Page 10 Title: Study session minutes of June 11, 2018 Councilmember Rog stated this did not rise to the top when doing the vision plan or when the strategic priorities were set; however, she does believe it will happen on its own. She added she would like to revisit the minimum wage issue over time. Ms. Deno added if this is discussed, it would be helpful and important to have Ms. Sojourner’s assistance with this discussion first, and then decide if this should be discussed further. It was the consensus of council to wait until the Citizen League study is completed, before discussing this issue any further. Mr. Harmening stated he will send out several links to the Citizens League study to the councilmembers and will also find out more information about the Federal Reserve study.

Councilmembers absent: Mayor Jake Spano Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Chief Financial Officer (Mr. Simon), Finance Manager (Mr. Ebensteiner), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Management Assistant (Ms. Carrillo Perez), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). Guest: Dave Mol, Redpath and Company 1. Comprehensive annual financial report for year ended December 31, 2017 – auditors discussion and review Mr. Simon introduced Mr. Mol, Redpath and Company, to give the auditing report. Mr. Mol stated the audit showed an unmodified or “clean” opinion on the 2017 financial statements. He also noted this was a 34th consecutive year the city has been recognized for the Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting certificate program. Mr. Mol noted the audit consisted of selecting samples of transactions and performing detailed tests to determine adherence to controls. He stated no items of non-compliance were noted. Mr. Mol stated the auditors reviewed bank statements, contracting bids, benefits, and other items. After city council review, the report is submitted to the Office of the State Auditor as required and also submitted to the Government Finance Officers Association. Councilmember Miller asked how TIF is considered an expense. Mr. Mol stated in the agreements with developers, the city collects TIF as revenue, then pays it out at 90%. It is a zero sum ultimately. Mr. Harmening recognized Ms. Deno, Mr. Ebensteiner and Mr. Simon for their work on a daily basis, managing the city’s finances. He stated they all do really outstanding work, and the city is very fortunate to have them. Councilmember Mavity pointed out within this audit process, which also encompasses an audit of city staff, Mr. Mol reports directly to the council, which, she said, puts more responsibility on the council to be certain all is working well. Councilmember Harris congratulated staff on the outcome of the audit adding she appreciated the slides. She noted she is proud to be on a council that has such a strong financial staff. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 2 Title: Special study session minutes of June 18, 2018 Councilmember Brausen stated he is happy with the results of the audit and wanted to confirm the city has an unassigned general balance fund that’s 45% of the 2019 budget. Mr. Simon stated yes that’s correct, adding the range is 40-50%, and because of the tax settlement each year, the revenue helps to supplement. Councilmember Rog asked what storm water revenues are. Mr. Ebensteiner stated they are based on acreage and how much stormwater is produced. He added this is then based on the type of hard surface involved, and a separate utility charge is paid. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin asked about internal controls and how they are looked at by the auditors. Mr. Mol stated the focus is mainly on money that goes out the door, so auditors look closely at accounts payable, credit card charges, and ACH charges. 2. 2019 Budget Mr. Simon stated the council has adopted new strategic priorities, which will affect the 2019 budget priorities. He explained that he and Mr. Harmening plan to conduct a Facebook live session on the budget in November and will continue to respond to emails and questions from residents on an ongoing basis. Mr. Simon stated there are no legislative directives, and no levy limits in place for 2019; however, this can change. He added from a staffing perspective, programming for a 3% budget salary adjustment is currently being planned and active negotiations are in progress with some of our unions. Related to employee benefits, Mr. Simon stated there will be a formal bidding process for health insurance that Human Resources will work on. He added based on claims experience, the budget is estimating a 12% increase on employer contributions for health insurance. He also noted that related to operating costs, line item details are being looked at. Mr. Simon pointed out that program support items to be addressed for the 2019 budget include: SWLRT, the comp plan, and newly adopted strategic priorities, race equity and inclusion, outreach, ranked-choice voting, and the climate action plan. He added these will be discussed further, as the council and staff look closer at all the budget details. Councilmember Mavity noted that Councilmember Rog had raised a question about how the HRA levy might get wrapped into a local housing trust fund. Councilmember Mavity would like to be sure this is accounted for and articulated in the budget – so as costs are being looked at, this will all be clear. Councilmember Mavity also noted the climate action plan, concerns about business development, and making sure there is a long-term plan in place with education in the next year or two. She added this should be included as a line item. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 3 Title: Special study session minutes of June 18, 2018 Ms. Deno stated staff is searching for a consultant to assist with leadership and development of a strategic plan and next steps to guide us in the work with Climate Action Plan. A large focus will be on best methods for programs and communication and possible incentives for business and residential programs. The consultant will help staff on building a foundation, while community development will also be a partner to develop programming and CAP implementation. Councilmember Mavity pointed out the city had a consultant in the past doing small business outreach, who had been asked to reach out to woman and minority businesses. She stated it would be helpful to have this as the baseline. Councilmember Mavity noted she is interested in adding accessory dwelling units into the comp plan, in order to help seniors stay in their homes. She noted there is a new program in place that helps seniors retrofit their homes, so they can stay in their homes longer, which is a great benefit to seniors – whose property taxes are rising, and incomes are not. Councilmember Harris stated she would like to understand more from the Fire Department, and their strategic plan, related to community health and how it fits with priorities and estimated costs for this service. Councilmember Rog added she would like to see the city pursue more affordable commercial property as a way to help small businesses meet code, and address ways to start small businesses, with low interest loans. She pointed out this aligns with the city’s strategic plan. Councilmember Brausen agreed with putting a placeholder on business development with the climate action plan, noting incentives will need to be started, and then the city will need to get punitive later. He also agreed with the programs for senior housing and would like staff to provide a chart over the last 5 years showing the increase in taxable market value vs. the increase in the city levy. He stated residents are still generating wealth with their homes and the city helps with that. He added he would like to inform seniors about a county program which can hold their taxes in place and stated he would like to look at shifting some of the $20 million spent on public safety towards help with mental health services. Ms. Deno stated that 4.42% is the amount estimated for the general increase for wages and benefits. As we continue to work on the budget we will get information from directors on other staffing and operational funding requests. Councilmember Mavity agreed, adding staff may be needed to support the 5 strategic priorities set by council since we will be asking staff to operationalize the goals. She added council will not want too large of a list of additional budget items, if we do not want to raise the levy over a minimum. Councilmember Rog asked as the city is building and growing, are there areas where some programs can be retired, as the council reshuffles its priorities. She pointed out some parks are underutilized and could be reviewed. She also asked how residents can find detailed facility operating budgets on the Nature Center and the Roc. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3e) Page 4 Title: Special study session minutes of June 18, 2018 Mr. Harmening stated it would be helpful to know what the questions are from residents, and then staff can pull the information folks are looking for, adding there is so much detail in the operating budgets. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin stated when he considers projects, he looks at each as mutually exclusive and votes accordingly, as to how it affects the city as a whole, adding that every dollar affects every other dollar. Councilmember Rog stated it seems the city will have to increase taxes significantly, especially as valuations in apartments are increasing to 13.6%. She noted these costs will burden folks who own rental units, and the costs will be passed onto renters. She added she would like to know the impacts on homeowners, seniors, and renters, but does not have enough information at this point to support a 4.42% increase which is the 10 year average. She added there will also be an increase due to the school levy and she feels the responsible thing to do is find out how this will impact residents, before deciding. Ms. Deno stated staff will be bringing more data to the council in the coming weeks, so they can see all the requests, and city manager recommendations before making decisions. Councilmember Brausen stated the council just accepted a financial report as to what was done last year, and that is the baseline where the city should start. He stated if we want the same level of services, then the council can start from there. He added historically St. Louis Park residents have been willing to fund council’s decisions, noting this is a progressive tax, and folks continue to build wealth in their homes. Councilmember Brausen added staff department directors review their budgets regularly, and he is willing to accept a 6% increase to higher, if the council will commit to the goals. Councilmember Mavity noted there will be significant impacts to renters and homeowners, adding Minneapolis currently has a pilot program that if owners commit to long-term affordability, they can have a tax deduction on their property. She noted this might be a program that could be piloted in St. Louis Park, adding she would like to explore this. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin added the 75-cent increase in franchise fees was an 18 percent increase over last year. He stated this may be what is needed, without assessments, but also asked will this be the city’s trend. Mr. Simon pointed out this increase was only every other year, but this will be re-evaluated, and reassessed, in order to remain stable. The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 3.

Councilmember Brausen thanked Mr. Mol, adding the council reviewed the report more in depth during their previous study session, and encouraged residents to go online and review the full details and financial statements for the city. He stated this is one of the areas where the city council is directly responsible for the independent audit, for handling city dollars, and with the type of financial oversight conducted here in St. Louis City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3f) Page 2 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 18, 2018 Park, it allows the city to achieve a AAA bond rating. He stated he is honored to see this report and to see the city continues to do well. Councilmember Brausen added that last year the council met with various auditors and conducted a bidding process, ultimately choosing to work with Redpath and Company again.

He stated there was a very successful fishing event last week with the city’s youth at the Nature Center, with another being scheduled for July at Lamplighter Pond, and another in August at Wolfe Park. Mr. Harmening added for more information, folks can call the police department, or go online to the city’s website. 3. Approval of minutes 3a.

She added the plan is intended to meet state law requirements for metro area cities and, in addition, St. Louis Park has added areas to the plan to show more future directions. She stated the outline in the staff report summarizes each section and identifies which sections are required. She noted photos, quotes and icons will be added and additional editing will take place in the coming months. Ms. McMonigal explained state law requires cities to submit the draft plan to surrounding communities and jurisdictions for a 6-month review period. The intent is to have the review completed by the end of 2018, and the 6-month period will begin July 1st. After the review period, the city will submit the plan to the Metropolitan Council for review and determination of compliance with metro-wide systems. In July- August, City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3f) Page 5 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 18, 2018 additional discussion and review will be needed and in September, the Metropolitan Council will informally review the document. In November–December, the final draft will be approved. Ms. McMonigal noted that over 2000 city residents have completed the survey which ends on June 20th. She stated this is unheard of typically, in this process, and she thanked Ms. Larson for all her work on communication efforts. Mayor Pro Tem Hallfin asked if the survey mentioned was actually two different surveys. Ms. McMonigal stated yes, the first survey was in the fall and was the same questions that were asked at the fall Neighborhood Planning Workshop sessions. The second survey was for spring/summer and is about the new items in the plan, such as mobility and climate action. Councilmember Mavity thanked Ms. McMonigal, staff, and all those involved for all the work done. She stated she is excited about this, adding it was decided early on to approach this process more broadly this time in St. Louis Park, and a facilitator was hired in order to help get more broad engagement. She added this is not just about the 7 councilmembers, but about the almost 5,000 residents who participated in the process and contributed to this plan. Councilmember Mavity added council and staff worked to translate the comments from residents into 5 strategic goals and priorities the community articulated, and this plan represents what the community said they wanted, adding she hopes they continue to communicate to the council what they want. Councilmember Harris stated over the past 16 months there have been conversations throughout the community and hours of community, staff, and councilmember time spent sharing ideas about what folks want to see going forward. She noted two key areas, racial equity and the climate action, were placed in the front of the Comprehensive Plan, adding this is a substantial body of work from this community. She thanked staff and stated the community has 48 more hours to comment through the survey, and the council would love to hear from folks. Councilmember Brausen stated the community health and safety section was not required, but the city chose to include them. Ms. McMonigal stated the section relates well to what police and fire are doing with community health, and how important it is for community members to connect. She stated there were many comments on this subject from residents and in the future, the city will need to do more to see that folks feel connected and feel safe in St. Louis Park. Councilmember Brausen thanked the community in collaboration with staff, adding this is a valuable blueprint for the future of the city. Councilmember Rog agreed with all the comments, adding this will all be translated into programs. She encouraged folks to continue the conversation with the city council and City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3f) Page 6 Title: City council meeting minutes of June 18, 2018 hoped that all will stay engaged and involved, as this is the best way to help move the city forward. It was moved by Councilmember Brausen, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve sending out the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan for the 6-month adjacent community review. The motion passed 6-0. 9. Communications Councilmember Brausen thanked community members for their work on Parktacular, as he heard it went great. Additionally, he stated he attended the Common Sound Music Festival and even though it rained, it was a fun event, and he hopes it was a success. Councilmember Rog thanked folks who were in attendance tonight and live on Utica Avenue. She stated they were instrumental in getting a stop light approved and also getting 31 signatures on a neighborhood petition. She commended them for their work on this, adding she is glad there is a way for citizens to make changes. Councilmember Harris stated on Tuesday, June 19, there is a Fire Department open house at Fire Station #1 from 5:30 – 8 p.m. There will be refreshments served and demonstrations conducted. She added on Thursday, June 21, from 5:30 – 7 p.m., there is a celebration for the approval of ranked-choice voting at the Rec Center. Councilmember Miller stated clean-up day was on Saturday, two weeks ago, and was cut short by lightning. He noted there is a make-up date this coming Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the Maple Grove waste management center, and all the same pricing will be honored. 10. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:21 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Steve Hallfin, Mayor Pro Tem Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Minutes: 3g Unofficial minutes City council study session St. Louis Park, Minnesota June 25, 2018 The meeting convened at 6:35 p.m. Councilmembers present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Steve Hallfin, Rachel Harris, Anne Mavity, and Thom Miller. Councilmembers absent: Margaret Rog. Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Harmening), Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director (Ms. Deno), Chief Financial Officer (Mr. Simon), Fire Chief Koering, Police Chief Harcey, Director of Inspections (Mr. Hoffman), Chief Information Officer (Mr. Pires), Associate Planner (Ms. Kramer), Senior Planner (Mr. Walther), and Management Assistant, (Ms. Carrillo-Perez), and Recording Secretary (Ms. Pappas). 1. Future Study Session Agenda Planning – July 9, 2018 Mayor Spano suggested due to the robust conversation around ranked-choice voting on July 9, the design guidelines discussion should move to the end of the agenda. Councilmember Mavity agreed adding she would like to have all background information on design guidelines linked into the document staff provides, for that conversation. Mr. Harmening stated staff would do that and added there will also be a special council meeting July 9th, in order to address a few business items. 2. Building readiness ordinance for smart cities Mr. Pires stated the report this evening would be to make council aware of staff’s efforts on future building readiness opportunities, receive council input and determine next steps. Mr. Pires noted council approved goals, priorities and strategies related to the five strategic directions in place at the time, at its October 19, 2015 meeting. He added since that time, the broader term “smart city” has emerged to describe technology connected communities, and efforts, achievements and futures in this area will be discussed later in the report. Mr. Pires explained since the smart city effort began, building readiness requirements have been extended to include solid waste, through recent ordinance approvals. Other efforts to enhance the quality of life have also emerged including security cameras, emergency call stations in new parking structures, public safety radio coverage into major buildings, and electric vehicle charging stations in certain parking garages and parking lots. He noted that each of these efforts will also need to be viewed through the lenses of the climate action plan and racial equity goals. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 2 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Mr. Pires noted that drafts of ordinances addressing these goals is in progress, and each ordinance will take a different path to ultimate consideration by council. Councilmember Brausen asked what the average cost is from street to a building for conduit. Mr. Pires stated $1000 from street to building. Mr. Harmening added US Internet is currently planning to go into part of the Sorenson neighborhood, with higher internet speeds at a much lower cost. He stated the city wants to be competitive in the marketplace on this, so folks will want to live in St. Louis Park. Mr. Pires noted there is little to no work making single family homes ready for broadband, assists in the area of racial equity for multiple dwelling units as well, such as Era on Excelsior, noting NOAH success breeds more success. Councilmember Mavity, however, stated she is not quite sure what NOAH success breeds more success means, especially in the wake of the changeover from Meadowbrook to ERA, where 75% of residents were displaced from the property. She further stated the city needs to protect its tenants. Mr. Pires noted Councilmember Mavity’s concerns, but stated NOAH success refers to success in installation of alternative higher speed internet service, and he is encouraging US Internet to go to Oak Park Village and Louisiana Court, so if the council does not want this to continue, to please let him know. Councilmember Harris asked Mr. Pires to please continue these efforts. Ms. Kramer noted the three levels of electronic charging stations and how these could help reduce emissions by 25% by 2030, in keeping with the city’s climate action plan. She added levels 1 and 2 are stations that would be permitted everywhere, and level 3 stations would be permitted in all non-residential zoning districts, noting level 3 is the very expensive option. Ms. Kramer stated the draft ordinance is written for level 1 and 2 and some level 3 stations. Councilmember Mavity stated she does not see a whole lot of parking expansion in the future and asked Ms. Kramer what futurists are saying about the future of parking. Ms. Kramer commented future vehicles will be autonomous, and will be able to charge themselves, and go to the closest charging station within the “smart” city. She noted the assumption is that many vehicles will be charged at home, adding that the city charging stations currently get used quite a bit. She noted staff is working to keep requirements in the ordinance imprecise at this time, because patterns of use are still in flux, so the ordinance will need to be amended over time. Mayor Spano asked if there are currently any programs available that split the cost to incent non-profit entities. Ms. Kramer stated Xcel Energy has incentives for charging at night and off- peak hours. She added they are looking to expand that to commercial. Councilmember Mavity asked about the schools and if they are involved in this discussion. Ms. Kramer stated she is having this conversation with the schools now, and there will be a need for level 1 and 2 charging stations at the middle and high school. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 3 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Ms. Kramer added large new developments that come to the city are being encouraged to provide charging stations. Councilmember Harris asked about Hennepin County facilities within St. Louis Park and if this is an opportunity to collaborate with them. Ms. Kramer stated yes, and the city would work with Hennepin County to get as close to the ordinance as possible. Councilmember Hallfin asked if a Level 1 charging station is basically an outlet. Ms. Kramer stated yes. Mayor Spano asked if there are charging stations at the Rec Center and Louisiana Oaks parking center. Ms. Kramer stated yes, at both. Mr. Harmening pointed out the city has higher standards and rules for city lots, as part of the climate action plan, because it is the right thing to do, and not necessarily because it is in the ordinance. Mr. Hoffman and Police Chief Harcey presented on city parking ramps and garage safety, including the ability for new parking structures to have video camera technology and emergency call stations. Fire Chief Koering presented on public safety radio coverage and best practices for crime prevention. Mr. Harmening noted all improvements would apply to all future buildings and would not be retroactively apply to existing structures. Councilmember Mavity stated lighting can be disruptive to neighborhoods; however, noting there are solutions for this as well. She asked about the call station button and if pressed where it is connected. Chief Harcey stated it goes to an alarm monitoring service or the police, adding that Methodist Hospital has its own security service, and the alarm goes there. Councilmember Mavity stated she is fine with the call device; however, has concerns about adding video and cameras, noting this could be a privacy issue. She asked what problems the city is trying to solve by having cameras, and what is the market demanding. She added the cost is put back on developers and eventually back to renters. She stated she has not heard of this being used at Ellipse or other apartments and asked if the city would be requiring building owners to put security cameras into their building. She asked what the city’s interest is in that, unless there is a rash of crime she has not heard about. Chief Harcey stated this is about crime prevention and being video ready, through best practices, and getting ahead of the issue. Councilmember Mavity stated she feels this is unnecessary and an over reach, adding there are other things that can be done related to crime prevention. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 4 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Councilmember Brausen agreed, noting it feels a bit like Big Brother, and asked if the city is dealing with parking ramp crimes. Chief Harcey stated there are many break-ins and some assaults in underground parking structures, and at Lifetime there was a big problem. He added however, he has no data with him, but that this is happening. Councilmember Brausen added he had an issue with 24/7 lights, adding this seems counter- productive to the city’s carbon reduction plan, asking if a sensor system with movement might be a better option. Councilmember Miller stated the city requires a lot from public buildings, including fire doors, and sprinkler systems. He stated parking ramps have high crime rates, with coming and going of individuals, adding he is all in favor of lighting up ramps and having cameras. Mr. Pires pointed out again that this would only be in new construction and not in existing, adding the cost would be less within new construction. Councilmember Mavity stated she is not in favor of cameras but is fine with lighting. Councilmember Harris noted the time the police force spends on investigating could be cut with these tools, including cameras and video surveillance, and it seems reasonable. Chief Harcey added the video gives police a starting point, noting this type of security enhances investigations. Councilmember Hallfin added the Big Brother idea bothers him; however, if crimes are happening and it is seen on camera, he is not looking at the cost, and it becomes more of a privacy issue. He added he would like to know how many other cities have this and is it becoming commonplace in other cities. Mayor Spano stated he is interested in continuing to explore this, adding from a practical stand point, and living next to Methodist Hospital, lighting is an issue. He asked how this can be done without lighting up a neighborhood. He further pointed out, he does not believe the public has an expectation of privacy in a public parking ramp. Councilmember Mavity added if there will be more follow up on this topic, it would be helpful to know what type of problem the city will be solving, noting at Excelsior and Grand, that is the resident’s private garage, and not a public area. Mr. Harmening stated staff will keep looking at this, will ask stakeholders, and bring more information back to the council. Fire Chief Koering discussed radio coverage in various buildings throughout the city and the problem with radio signals getting through dense materials, and difficulty with communications, because of the concrete. He noted high risk buildings include the high school and middle school, all Park Nicollet buildings, and some buildings in the West End. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 5 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Chief Koering noted with new construction, they work with the building owners to get this installed and follow the state fire code. He noted there is technology to fix this problem in existing buildings, but it can be expensive, so the ordinance will need to be prioritized as cost is a concern. He noted this might be done with an assessment as is done with sprinkler systems today. Councilmember Harris stated she is in favor of any public safety for residences and asked if there is a secondary option or different technology for communication, or any alternatives, in light of a cost of $25,000. Chief Koering stated there are no alternatives, as universal specific devices must be used, and every building is different. Chief Koering added he has spoken with the school superintendent about getting this completed in the schools. Councilmember Mavity stated she approves of this, adding it makes perfect sense with schools, and if they cannot afford it, the city should help. She also asked about the elementary schools, and Chief Koering stated they will be testing the elementary schools. Mr. Pires stated staff will return to discuss this further with council after getting feedback from stakeholders. 3. Overview of long-range planning tools and debt model forecasting Mr. Simon provided information to the council on the city’s long-range planning and debt modeling tools. He noted the city is 1 of 22 cities with an AAA rating from Standard and Poor’s (S & P). Last year Mr. Simon shared a variety of tools the city uses for forecasting, and this will be shared at tonight’s meeting as the 2019 budget and 10-year capital planning process begins. Mr. Simon pointed out the following items as part of the report: • Overview of financial management policies • City fund structure (government vs. enterprise funds) • Analytics and comparisons • Long range financial management plan models • Debt modeling tools He noted the long range financial planning tools the city has developed have been instrumental in anticipating future financial needs and identifying measures to respond to those needs. It has also been very helpful in the city achieving and maintaining its AAA bond rating. Areas discussed included the following, and Mr. Simon noted all policies have been updated to meet requirements. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 6 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Essential Policies Fund balance and reserves Operating budget Capital budgeting and planning Debt management Long range financial planning Investment Highly advisable policies Accounting and financial reporting Revenues Internal Controls Expenditures Purchasing Risk Management Economic Development Councilmember Harris asked what the cable franchise fee is. Mr. Simon stated it is a contract the city has with the cable company that is based on the number of subscriptions the city has, and an agreement has been negotiated with the cable company for these fees. Mr. Harmening added franchise fees are required and very standard, and as more online services become available, franchise fees will decrease. Mr. Harmening noted that pavement management fees are charged by Xcel and Centerpoint Energy, so the utilities are able to have access to the city’s right-of-way. These fees are then used for infrastructure repairs in the right-of-way. Long Range Financial Management – Review debt model Mr. Simon pointed out the following information related to long range planning and the debt model: • HRA Levy • Pavement Management - Mayor Spano stated he would be interested in pursuing a 70% road condition rating for the city. Currently the city is at 67% cumulatively. • Sidewalks and Trails • Capital Replacement Funds Mr. Simon noted that St Louis Park is in the middle regarding debt per capita, and on a net debt per estimated market value in comparison to other AAA rated cities. He stated with debt model assumptions, estimates are fine-tuned, and drill downs are conducted on each fund, where the dollar amount and term can be changed, and the debt model can be updated for all funds. Mr. Simon stated this helps with taking a look at the big picture and depending on TIF and levies, allows a look at cumulative totals. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 3g) Page 7 Title: Study session minutes of June 25, 2018 Councilmember Hallfin asked how much the city pays S & P to provide a rating. Mr. Simon stated $14,000 per year. Councilmember Hallfin stated S & P doesn’t always get it right, and yet the city must pay them for this service. Councilmember Miller asked if the Climate Action Plan will be placed into capital Improvements (CIP). Ms. Deno stated staff is programming pieces of that right now into the CIP and in the 2019 budget process, there will be consulting fees, and money set aside for incentive programs and marketing. She added, a long-term plan will be developed and there will be more for the council to review on this in the coming months. Communications/Meeting Check-In (Verbal) Councilmember Mavity stated she will be attending the government housing task force meeting on July 31st and noted in a meeting today, there was a discussion about the St. Louis Park tenant protection ordinance as an example and recommendation to demonstrate to other cities in the state what can be done. Mr. Harmening noted he attended the Leagues of MN Cities event and sat in on several sessions. He added that Chief Harcey accepted an award on the city’s Pathways to Policing Program. The meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. Written Reports provided and documented for recording purposes only: 4.

Policy consideration: Not applicable Summary: City staff propose a zoning code amendment that would apply to the I-P Industrial Park and I-G General Industrial zoning districts. The amended text of Sections 36-243 and Section 36-244 is attached to this report. In summary the amendment would allow: 1.A greater amount of gross floor area in breweries to be used for any combination of retail and taproom, and 2.Outdoor seating and service of food and beverage as an accessory use. The new language is based on, and consistent with, existing language in the BP Business Park zoning district. The proposed amendment includes several conditions designed to reduce or eliminate potential impacts the outdoor seating may have on residential properties in close proximity to the business. Staff finds the impacts of the proposed amendment are minimal city wide. The city council voted 5 to 0 to approve the First Reading of this ordinance on July 16, 2018.

Policy consideration: Not applicable Summary: Each year the council is required to pass a resolution indicating if they wish to waive or not waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability insurance established by Minnesota Statute 466.04. The statutory liability limits for claims that occur after July 1, 2009 are $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. The city council must review and make an election of one of the following three options: •Not to waive the statutory tort limits (staff recommendation) •Waive the limits and not purchase excess liability coverage. •Waive the limits and purchase excess liability coverage The three options are explained in more detail in the background section of this report. Financial or budget considerations: The city will continue to maintain liability insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust in the amount required by State Statute, and the required annual motion will be in place in preparation for the new policy year. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

The city’s practice has been option 1, to not waive the statutory tort limits. Staff recommends the council continue with this practice. Option 1 (recommended) If the city elects not to waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence would be limited to $1,500,000. Option 2 If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $2,000,000 on a single occurrence. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants. Option 3 If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants. The city of St. Louis Park in the past has elected to not waive the statutory tort limits and has not purchased excess liability coverage. Staff recommends continuing this practice and not to waive the statutory limits. The following resolution allows the statutory tort limits to remain in place until the council changes this election. Staff will ask council to consider this question annually as required by the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4d) Page 3 Title: Statutory tort limits for liability insurance Resolution No. 18-___ Resolution electing not to waive the Statutory tort limits for liability insurance Whereas, pursuant to previous action taken, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has requested the City to make an election with regard to waiving or not waiving its tort liability established by Minnesota Statute 466.04; and Whereas, the choices available are to not waive the statutory limit, to waive the limit but to keep insurance coverage at the statutory limit, or to waive the limit and to add additional insurance coverage; Now therefore be it resolved that the St. Louis Park City Council does hereby elect not to waive the statutory tort liability limit established by Minnesota Statute 466.04 and that such election is effective until amended by further resolution of the St. Louis Park City Council.

Recommended action: Motion to approve second reading and adopt Ordinance vacating right of way and to approve the ordinance summary for publication. Policy consideration: Not applicable. Summary: The city proposes to vacate right of way that is located adjacent to 3410 Dakota Avenue South. The city council approved vacating this right of way in 1960, but it was never recorded. The owner of the adjacent property brought this to the city’s attention and asked that it be resolved. The city attempted to record the previous documents, but they were rejected by the county due to technical issues. Therefore, the city is repeating the process now in order to honor and properly implement the decision by the former city council.

Contracting Inc. the lowest responsible bidder and authorize execution of a contract with the firm in the amount of $641,997.55 for the Utica Avenue trail - Project No. 4017-2000D. Policy consideration: Does the City Council wish to continue implementation of the City’s Connect the Park initiative? Summary: A total of three bids were received for this project. A summary of the bid results is shown below: CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT G Urban Companies $602,276.00* G.L. Contracting $641,997.55 Blackstone Contractors $872,870.00 Engineer’s Estimate $407,775.50 * Bid was incomplete and requested to be removed by the Contractor A review of the bids indicates G.L. Contracting Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid. G.L. Contracting Inc. has completed this type and size of work successfully in St. Louis Park. Staff recommends that a contract be awarded to G.L. Contracting Inc. in the amount of $641,997.55. Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2017. Funding will be provided using General Obligation Bonds. Additional discussion related to the low bid pricing can be found in the following pages. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.

Council approved this project on February 6, 2017. However, the acquisition of right-of-way and coordination with MnDOT delayed the construction start until 2018. Community Significance: Utica Avenue features several high-density apartment buildings and does not currently feature non-motorized infrastructure. A trail in this location will connect the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail to the Birchwood neighborhood, the pedestrian bridge over Highway 100, and the newly installed bikeway along 28th Street and 27th Street. Public Process: Staff has held three public meetings to discuss the project. Staff has heard about the importance of the trail to connection to the regional trail system and to provide a designated space in front of the apartment buildings in this area for bicycles and pedestrians. Design: The trail will be located on the west side of Utica Avenue. It will be 8 feet wide and will feature a 5 foot grass boulevard. It will fill in the gaps between the existing trail segments located in front of the Luther Auto dealership and the recently completed New Horizons daycare. The pavement on the existing trail near Luther Auto is proposed to be reconstructed for a smoother biking and walking surface. On the north end, the trail will cross over 23rd Street to access the North Cedar Lake Trail, and retaining walls will be needed in this area. There are 25 trees that will need to be removed to construct the trail along Utica Avenue, most of them on the north side near the connection with the North Cedar Lake Trail. Several permanent easements were acquired to complete the trail near the apartment buildings. In addition to the trail, the construction includes two pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) at the crosswalks in the following locations: •Utica Avenue at the Highway 100 pedestrian bridge near the south end of Wat Thai of Minnesota. •23rd Street between Westside Volkswagen and Abra Auto Body Trail maintenance: This is proposed to be a community trail and would be maintained by the city for snow removal. Funding details Staff has reviewed the bids and determined that G.L. Contracting Inc. is the lowest responsible contractor. The bid came in significantly higher than expected. Staff has explored the cost increases with the contractor and determined that much of the increase is attributed to: •The tight working conditions adjacent to Highway 100. •The anticipated traffic control measures and mobilizations that will be necessary to safely work on two very busy roadways, 23rd Street and Utica Avenue. These two roads are frontage roads and on/off ramps for Highway 100. •The addition of a RRFB pedestrian flasher system to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle safety at the Highway 100 pedestrian bridge crosswalk over Utica Avenue. This crosswalk was moved to this location with the Highway 100 project and is in need of safety enhancements to raise driver awareness. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4f) Page 3 Title: Bid tabulation: award bid for Utica Avenue trail – Project 4017-2000D •A RRFB pedestrian flasher system to enhance the pedestrian and bicycle safety where the trail crosses 23rd Street. •The cost of the installation of conduit for future fiber optic along this segment of roadway were much higher than for past projects. Staff has discussed the installation of the conduit for fiber optic with our Chief Information Officer, Clint Pires and he has recommended we not install this conduit at this time. This will reduce the cost of the contract by $96,707. In accordance with our contract language we are able to strike line item costs from the contract after award of the project and during construction. In comparison, fiber installation was estimated to cost $50,000, which was consistent with past project pricing. Staff recommends that this fiber be installed at a later date to gain more competitive pricing. We have reviewed these costs with the chief financial officer and there is sufficient funds to cover the project. Based on the low bid received, cost and funding details are as follows: Engineer's Estimate Low Bid Construction Cost $407,775.50 $641,977.55 Engineering & Administration (10%) $40,777.55 $64,197.76 Total $448,553.05 $706,175.31 Funding Sources General Obligation Bonds $448,535.05 $706,175.31 Due to the nature of our construction projects, unexpected costs do come up. To address this, past practice has been to show a 10% contingency for all aspects of the project. The removal of the fiber from the contract will build in a 15% contingency to the contract as awarded. If overruns occur there is adequate funds to cover these costs. Schedule The contractor expects to start in late August. The contractor has proposed an aggressive schedule to complete the work by the end of the 2018 construction season.

Call to order Chair Levine called the meeting to order at 7:02 p.m. 2. Roll Call Present at roll call were Commissioners Anderson, Browning, Dyer, Hoffman, Levine, Munson and Peterson. 3. Approval of Minutes for March 14, 2018. It was moved by Commissioner Browning, seconded by Commissioner Munson, to approve the agenda. The motion passed 7-0. 4. Adoption of the Agenda 5. Public Comment There was none. 6. Reports & Discussion A. City Director of Engineering Deb Heiser to talk about ROW management with 5G & the new small cell law implementation Ms. Heiser showed PowerPoint slides to provide background. She started with a diagram of a typical street to show how much infrastructure is under a city street and why management is necessary. The city has had a right of way ordinance since 1974, which protects the health, safety and welfare of citizens. It was updated last fall because of the change in state law last spring, which allows small cells to be treated like other private equipment in the right of way. Previously, small cells were treated similarly to macro cell towers. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 2 Title: Telecommunications commission meeting minutes May 9, 2018 Key changes in the right of way ordinance include strengthening the provision on patching and restoration, to better protect the traveling public, and requiring accurate electronic as-built maps for underground facilities. She reminded everyone to dial 7-1-1 for Gopher State One Call before digging, for safety and to protect the integrity of the infrastructure, and described the city’s right of way permitting. Small wireless facilities are defined as a permitted use, are no taller than 50 feet, cannot be taller than 10 feet above existing structures, antennas may not be larger than six cubic feet and associated equipment may not be greater than 28 cubic feet in volume. The fee per antenna is $1,500 and a consolidated application for multiple similar equipment installations is available. If collocated, the rent is $150 per year and maintenance is $25 per year, which are fees set by the new state law. The electricity must be separately metered. Ms. Heiser said the city usually reviews permit applications within a week, but the new state law requires approval or denial within 90 days or the application is automatically approved. The city may deny a permit for health, safety and welfare reasons, or noncompliance with decorative wireless support structures or signs. The city has a master licensing agreement with Verizon dating to early last year that was based on cell tower practices. A collocation agreement is in place for Mobilite, acting for Sprint, and we’re on the third draft of an agreement with AT&T. Chair Levine asked about the future demand for small cells. Ms. Heiser said that they are needed every 300 feet, about every block, because data is king on 5G, and will provide faster streaming than today. There was a big push before the Super Bowl, and we expect more demand but we haven’t seen it yet. Mr. Dunlap asked about the definition of health, safety and welfare, and if aesthetics were included in welfare? Ms. Heiser said health was pretty well understood, and that safety pertained to proximity to the street and for example, if they couldn’t plow snow safely. ADA requirements are part of welfare, if a pole was proposed for the middle of a sidewalk, for example. Aesthetics pertain to banners that can screen the antennas, for example. Commissioner Munson asked about the decorative pole requirements. Ms. Heiser showed an example of a decorative pole in the West End that was replaced with a higher gauge metal. Commissioner Munson said small cells are a permitted use except in single family residential zones or historic districts, and asked if the city has a policy on single family residential zones? Ms. Heiser said Community Development is working with the Planning Commission to update the antenna ordinance. Ms. Heiser said they are not prohibited in residential areas, but they are working on language relating to aesthetics and welfare. Commissioner Munson asked if the public could comment when a permit was requested; Ms. Heiser said because of the shot clock, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for public comment. Commissioner Munson asked about disposition of unused equipment; Ms. Heiser said there is a bond requirement to cover that. Commissioner Hoffman asked about the weight of the equipment? Ms. Heiser replied that wind load was more of a concern than weight. She added that a lesson learned since the first City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 3 Title: Telecommunications commission meeting minutes May 9, 2018 deployments was put into the ordinance to have the cables run inside the pole, not on the outside. Commissioner Browning said that poles in front of a house were unpopular during the Wi-Fi project, and asked if that might need to happen for small cell deployment? Ms. Heiser said, yes. Commissioner Munson said he can see two light poles in front of his property, and to add the antennas pictured would be problematic. Chair Levine said, if you want 5G they have to go somewhere. Commissioner Munson said agreed, but I also have utility poles in the back yard, so where there are options, I’d like to see the installations be what’s best for the community, as opposed to what works best for the technology company. Commissioner Peterson asked if 5G is connected by fiber to a central location? Chair Levine said that it was not a mesh network, that the gig speeds of the backbone fiber feed the small cells that have limited range and limited ability to penetrate buildings. Ms. Heiser said that the range is improved if the antennas are in open spaces in the right of way, rather than on the side of a building. She also said that the cost of the permit must reflect the city’s actual costs, so the hours spent on right of way permits are tracked and will be evaluated each year, along with other permits and fees. B. Comcast engineer to describe the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, advantages to customer and other Comcast technologies Mr. Muilenburg described Comcast’s Next Generation Architecture project called Fiber Deep, and NGAN for short. Coax cable will still be used, but only for the last 200 or 300 yards. The old fiber nodes served 500 customers, but we’re cutting that down to 80 customers per node on average. There is no amplification over the last 300 yards. This is not an upgrade, it’s an enhancement. We’re not selling a new product, we’re making our current product better and upping the capacity and speeds that are available. The old design served 400 or 500 customers, and from each node there were 5 amplifiers to the end of the line. With NGAN, lot of coax is replaced with fiber. Mr. Muilenburg played a video that showed that each node now serves 4 or 5 multiplexing ports. Each of these ports converts fiber to coax, but because the coax cable runs are 1000 feet or less, no amplification is needed. The benefits of fiber deep are: • Increased upstream and downstream bandwidth • Less maintenance • Increased reliability and signal quality for customers • Fiber is closer to the home, so the opportunity to serve each home with fiber directly is now possible Mr. Muilenburg described the construction and cut over process. The fibers are small, 44 count, and are over-lashed to existing cable. One month before the cutover, customers will be notified with a letter; three days before the cutover, customers will be door-tagged. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 4 Title: Telecommunications commission meeting minutes May 9, 2018 Customers will be alerted with texts the day of the cutover. The outages for customers were two hours in Roseville in the winter, so they expect shorter outages in the summer. Commissioner Browning asked if there’s a point when fiber will be installed all the way to the home? Mr. Muilenburg said that is a possibility. They are using Remote Fi in this NGAN project, and putting some head end equipment in the nodes in the field. The digital lasers will improve upstream speed ability. He said the DOCSIS 3.1 system can offer 1 gig service, and is being tested in several markets. It requires customers to use a different modem. It’s not widely launched yet and the standard is still in the approval process, but Comcast is evaluating it. Chair Levine said that recently Comcast had significantly increased internet download speeds, and asked if that’s a marketing decision or if a new technology had been changed? Mr. Muilenburg said it was a marketing decision, that Comcast had increased speeds in15 of the last 17 years and that they plan to continue to do that. Commissioner Hoffman asked about the difference between upgrade and enhancement? Mr. Muilenburg said an upgrade occurred in the late 1990’s because we wanted to sell more services. When NGAN is done, there are no new products to sell, it’s to make what we offer, better. Mr. Dunlap asked if decreasing the number of customers per node will improve service to some of the known problem areas? Mr. Muilenburg said they have evidence from Roseville that it does. Commissioner Munson asked where this has already been deployed and when it would be finished in St. Louis Park? Mr. Muilenburg said Roseville, Vadnais Heights, Falcon Heights, Columbia Heights are completed. Construction is under way in St. Louis Park, that cutovers would start in June and the project would be complete by the end of the year. C. Comcast price increase effective May 1, 2018 Mr. Dunlap said that city has no authority over the price of services but takes complaints about price increases. The increases were 50 cents to $2 for various services. D. Wireless industry guest to talk about 5 G and the potential impacts on cable TV in St. Louis Park Chair Levine said this item was deferred, and was disappointed that his contact person has declined after a year of exchanging emails. Mr. Dunlap said he’d follow up with Ms. Heiser to see if she had a contact person. E. Smart Cities Subcommittee progress report Commissioner Browning summarized the meeting on April 30 with Operations Manager Jeff Stevens and Streets Field Supervisor Jeff Wolff. Commissioner Browning said he was pleasantly City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 4j) Page 5 Title: Telecommunications commission meeting minutes May 9, 2018 surprised at how much the city is already using technology to save money and do a better job, which are elements of a smart city. The snow plows have GPS that is tracked by a software called PreCise. Managers can tell where a truck is at any time, and how fast it’s going. The trucks have a computerized system to apply salt and sand, and use 1/3 as much salt as the old trucks. St. Louis Park is a leader in advanced technology for plowing and asset management, which uses Cartegraph software installed in 2014. The city owns 1,800 street lights, and has been converting them to LED’s for the last five years. Excel is also converting their street lights to LED’s. The city is already saving $500 per month in electrical service, which converts to 29,000 kilowatt hours or 31,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere, so it’s good for the environment. F. CenturyLink franchise fee review Mr. Dunlap said St. Louis Park has agreed to join a number of cities to do a franchise fee review of CenturyLink based on information provided at the last commission meeting. CenturyLink’s billing systems weren’t talking to each other and they did a write off to cover overpayments. CenturyLink has been notified. G. Review Comcast & CenturyLink complaint logs Commissioner Browning asked about the complaint against CenturyLink for having to pay $7.99 for the wire protection plan. Mr. Dunlap said the customer thought it was unfair, and wasn’t satisfied with the response. Mr. Dunlap said he was very happy to report it was a quiet quarter for complaints. 7. Communications from the Chair, Commissioners and City staff 8. Adjournment It was moved by Commissioner Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Munson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m. The motion passed 7-0. Respectfully submitted by: Reg Dunlap Civic TV Coordinator Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Public hearing: 6a Executive summary Title: JPG Corporation dba Liquor Boy – off-sale intoxicating liquor license Recommended action: Mayor to open public hearing, take public testimony, and close public hearing. Motion to approve application from JPG corporation dba Liquor Boy for an off-sale intoxicating liquor license for the premises located at 5620 Cedar Lake Road. Policy consideration: Does the applicant meet the requirements for the issuance of an off-sale intoxicating liquor license? Summary: The city received application from JPG Corporation dba Liquor Boy for an off-sale intoxicating liquor license for the property located at 5620 Cedar Lake Road. Liquor Boy is an existing business, but will be purchased by new owner, Judd Greenagel. The existing space will remain unchanged along with the staff who currently work there, including current Store Manager Christopher Bartel, who manages the oversight and operation of liquor sales. 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 July 26, 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 considerations: Fees include $500 for the background investigation and $380 for the off-sale intoxicating liquor license. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Published in St. Louis Park Sailor: August 9, 2018 Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Action agenda item: 8b Executive summary Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Recommended actions: Motion to adopt Resolution approving the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District (a redevelopment district). (The EDA will have considered establishment of the TIF District earlier in the evening.) Policy consideration: Does the city council support establishment of the Bridgewater Bank TIF District to facilitate the construction of the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project at the northeast quadrant of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive? Summary: A staff report regarding Bridgewater Bank’s application for tax increment financing (TIF) assistance in connection with its proposed corporate headquarters project was provided at the April 23, 2018 Study Session. As stated in that report, constructing the Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project is not financially feasible but for the use of the proposed tax increment assistance. On July 16, 2018, the city council held a public hearing regarding the establishment of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The final steps in the TIF process are to formally authorize the creation of the redevelopment TIF district and to approve the proposed Purchase and Redevelopment Contract. These authorizations enable the EDA to designate tax increment generated from the completed Bridgewater Bank Corporate Center project as partial reimbursement for certain qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project so as to make it financially feasible. Financial or budget considerations: Authorizing the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank TIF District creates the funding vehicle to reimburse Bridgewater Bank for a portion of its qualified project costs. The terms and amount of TIF assistance are specified within the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with Bridgewater Bank which is also scheduled for consideration August 6, 2018. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Prepared by: Greg Hunt, Economic Development Coordinator Reviewed by: Karen Barton, Community Development Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, EDA Executive Director and City Manager City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 2 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Discussion Background: The proposed redevelopment site (“subject site”) is located at the northeast corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Monterey Drive, across the street from Excelsior & Grand within the Wolfe Park Neighborhood. Present conditions: The subject site is 2.89 acres (2.42 after platting) and consists of three parcels. The smallest parcel, at the southernmost tip of the site, is 4424 Excelsior Boulevard and is owned by Bridgewater Bank. It is occupied by a single story 6,300 square foot commercial building originally constructed in 1948. The building was determined structurally substandard according to an analysis by LHB (see TIF District section in this report). The property immediately next door, 4400 Excelsior Boulevard, is also owned by Bridgewater Bank. It is occupied by a 18,500 square foot multi-tenant, commercial structure originally constructed in 1932 and a second 4,400 square foot commercial building that was recently renovated and is occupied by a Bridgewater Bank branch. The larger commercial building was also determined to be structurally substandard. The substandard buildings on the site are both functionally obsolete in terms of design and possess limited, circuitous access via an adjacent property. Additionally the buildings are dated from an aesthetic perspective. Lastly, the low density site is underutilized from a market value perspective given the multi-story buildings in close proximity. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 3 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District The third property to the northwest is 3743 Monterey Drive. This remnant parcel is vacant and has a significant slope. This .5 acre property is owned by the EDA. It was acquired in 1996 as part of the land assemblage for the future Excelsior & Grand project. Current proposal: Bridgewater Bank (“redeveloper”) proposes to raze the two structurally substandard buildings on the subject site and construct a 4-story, 84,000 gross square foot Class A office building that would serve as its corporate headquarters. For additional information on the proposed project please see the corresponding August 6, 2018 EDA staff report: Purchase and Redevelopment Contract – Bridgewater Bank. Rendering of Bridgewater Bank’s proposed corporate office building Redeveloper’s request for public financing assistance and TIF Application review: The EDA’s financial consultant, Ehlers, has determined that the Bridgewater development proposal would not be built but-for assistance through Tax Increment Financing provided by the EDA. For additional information relating to the developer’s request for TIF assistance, please see the corresponding August 6, 2018 EDA staff report: Purchase and Redevelopment Contract – Bridgewater Bank. TIF district approvals: At its May 7, 2018 meeting, the city council set a public hearing date of July 2, 2018 for consideration of the proposed Bridgewater Bank Redevelopment TIF District (subsequently rescheduled to July 16, 2018). On July 16, 2018, the city council held a public hearing regarding the establishment of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The Planning Commission reviewed the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing Plan on June 20, 2018, as required by the MN TIF Act, and determined the Plan was in conformance with the city’s general redevelopment plans. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 4 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Synopsis of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District: The subject site is located within the boundaries of the city’s Redevelopment Project Area. As shown in the attached TIF District maps, the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District encompasses three parcels: 4424 and 4400 Excelsior Boulevard, and 3743 Monterey Drive along with adjacent rights-of-way and abutting roadways. The 3743 Monterey Drive property currently lies within the Park Commons TIF District and will therefore need to be decertified from the Park Commons TIF District in order to be included in the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. The Tax Increment Financing District Overview summarizes the basic elements of the proposed Bridgewater Bank TIF District. Additional details of the proposed TIF District may be found in the Bridgewater Bank TIF District Plan. Both the Overview and TIF Plan were prepared by the EDA’s TIF consultant, Ehlers. The specific mutual obligations between the EDA and the Redeveloper as well as the specific terms of the financial assistance are contained in the separate Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between the parties. Both the TIF Plan and the Redevelopment Contract need to be approved in order for redevelopment projects involving tax increment to proceed. Qualifications of the proposed TIF district: Consulting firm LHB conducted a TIF district feasibility analysis to determine if the subject site qualified as a Redevelopment District under the MN TIF Act. After inspecting and evaluating the subject properties and applying current statutory criteria, LHB determined the property met the criteria to be qualified as a Redevelopment District. Duration of the proposed TIF district: Under the MN TIF Act, the maximum duration of redevelopment districts is up to 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the city (a total of 26 years of tax increment). However, the city’s expressed obligations to the redeveloper, per the terms of the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract, are estimated to be satisfied in approximately 12 years. Once those obligations are satisfied, the city may terminate the district. TIF district budget: The TIF Plan authorizes the use of tax increment funds generated by the District to reimburse for certain qualified redevelopment costs incurred in connection with the construction of the project as well as specified capital improvements and other costs associated with the District. The TIF Plan sets a maximum budget permissible, not the actual expected project budget. Interfund Loan: Staff is recommending the establishment of an interfund loan to allow the EDA to recoup certain administrative costs incurred by the EDA prior to commencement of the project. The interfund loan will be repaid through tax increment generated from the project. Next steps: The Purchase and Redevelopment between the EDA and Bridgewater Bank which specifies the terms, conditions and amount of TIF assistance related to the proposed project is also scheduled for consideration by the EDA on August 6, 2018. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 5 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Resolution No. 18-____ Resolution adopting a modification to the redevelopment plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1; establishing the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District therein and adopting a tax increment financing plan therefor Be it resolved by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the "City"), as follows: Section 1. Recitals 1.01. The Board of Commissioners of the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") has heretofore established Redevelopment Project No. 1 and adopted the Redevelopment Plan therefor. It has been proposed by the EDA and the city that the city adopt a Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the "Redevelopment Plan Modification") and establish the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District ("A Redevelopment District") therein and adopt a Tax Increment Financing Plan (the "TIF Plan") therefor (the Redevelopment Plan Modification and the TIF Plan are referred to collectively herein as the "Plans"), all pursuant to and in conformity with applicable law, including Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1082 and Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the "Act"), all as reflected in the Plans, and presented for the council's consideration. 1.02. The EDA and city have investigated the facts relating to the Plans and have caused the Plans to be prepared. 1.03. The EDA and city have performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the establishment of the district and the adoption and approval of the proposed plans, including, but not limited to, notification of Hennepin County and Independent School District No. 283 having taxing jurisdiction over the property to be included in the district, a review of and written comment on the plans by the St. Louis Park Planning Commission on June 20, 2018, approval of the plans by the EDA on the date hereof, and the holding of a public hearing by the council upon published notice as required by law. 1.04. Certain written reports (the ''reports") relating to the plans and to the activities contemplated therein have heretofore been prepared by staff and consultants and submitted to the council and/or made a part of the city files and proceedings on the plans. The reports, including the redevelopment qualifications reports and planning documents, include data, information and/or substantiation constituting or relating to the basis for the other findings and determinations made in this resolution. The council hereby confirms, ratifies and adopts the reports, which are hereby incorporated into and made as fully a part of this resolution to the same extent as if set forth in full herein. 1.05 The city is not modifying the boundaries of Redevelopment Project No. 1. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 6 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Section 2. Findings for the adoption and approval of the Redevelopment Plan Modification 2.01. The council approves the Redevelopment Plan Modification, and specifically finds that: (a) the land within Redevelopment Project No. 1 would not be available for redevelopment without the financial aid to be sought under the Redevelopment Plan; (b) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the needs of the city as a whole, for the development of Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise; and (c) the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, conforms to the general plan for the development of the city as a whole. Section 3. Findings for the establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District 3.01. The council hereby finds that the District is in the public interest and is a "redevelopment district" under Section 469.174, Subd. 10 of the Act. 3.02. The council further finds that the proposed redevelopment would not occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan, that the TIF Plan conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the city as a whole; and that the TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of the district by private enterprise. 3.03. The council further finds, declares and determines that the city made the above findings stated in Section 2 and this Section based on the reasons and supporting facts for each determination attached hereto as Exhibit A. 3.04. The council elects to calculate fiscal disparities for the District in accordance with Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b of the Act, which means the fiscal disparities contribution will be taken from inside the district. Section 4. Public Purpose 4.01. The adoption of the plans conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Act and will help fulfill a need to redevelop an area of the city which is already built up, to provide diversified housing opportunities, to improve the tax base and to improve the general economy of the State and thereby serves a public purpose. For the reasons described in Exhibit A, the city believes these benefits directly derive from the tax increment assistance provided under the TIF Plan. A private developer will receive only the assistance needed to make this development financially feasible. As such, any private benefits received by a developer are incidental and do not outweigh the primary public benefits. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 7 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Section 5. Approval and Adoption of the Plans 5.01. The plans, as presented to the council on this date, including without limitation the findings and statements of objectives contained therein, are hereby approved, ratified, established, and adopted and shall be placed on file in the office of the Economic Development Coordinator. 5.02. The staff of the city, the city's advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to proceed with the implementation of the plans and to negotiate, draft, prepare and present to this council for its consideration all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose. 5.03 The Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County ("manager") is requested to certify the original net tax capacity of the district, as described in the plans, and to certify in each year thereafter the amount by which the original net tax capacity has increased or decreased; and the EDA staff is authorized and directed to transmit this request to the manager in such form and content as the manager may specify, together with a list of all properties within the district, for which building permits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding the adoption of this resolution. 5.04. The Economic Development Coordinator is further authorized and directed to file a copy of the plans with the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Revenue and the Office of the State Auditor pursuant to Section 469.175, Subd. 4a of the Act. Reviewed for Administration: Adopted by the City Council August 6, 2018 Tom Harmening, City Manager Jake Spano, Mayor Attest: Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 8 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Exhibit A The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan (TIF Plan) for the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District (District), as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows: 1.Finding that the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District is a redevelopment district as defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 10. The District consists of three parcels with plans to redevelop the area for commercial purposes. At least 70 percent of the area of the parcels in the District are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities, paved or gravel parking lots or other similar structures and more than 50 percent of the buildings in the District, not including outbuildings, are structurally substandard to a degree requiring substantial renovation or clearance. (See Appendix F of the TIF Plan.) 2.Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the city council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan. The proposed development, in the opinion of the city, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding is supported by the fact that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan meets the city's objectives for redevelopment, but that due to the high costs of redevelopment on the parcels currently occupied by substandard buildings, including costs associated with demolition, site improvements, and structured parking, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. The developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the developer would not have gone forward without tax increment assistance. The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the District permitted by the TIF Plan: This finding is justified on the grounds that the costs of demolition, site improvements and structured parking add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, these costs in the city have made redevelopment infeasible without tax increment assistance. The city reasonably determines that no other redevelopment of similar scope can be anticipated on this site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development. City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8b) Page 9 Title: Establishment of the Bridgewater Bank Tax Increment Financing District Therefore, the city concludes as follows: a.The city's estimate of the amount by which the market value of the entire District will increase without the use of tax increment financing is $0. b.If the proposed development occurs, the total increase in market value will be $7,594,200. c.The present value of tax increments from the District for the maximum duration of the district permitted by the TIF Plan is estimated to be $3,062,036. d.Even if some development other than the proposed development were to occur, the council finds that no alternative would occur that would produce a market value increase greater than $4,532,164 (the amount in clause b less the amount in clause c) without tax increment assistance. 3.Finding that the TIF Plan for the District conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The planning commission reviewed the TIF Plan and found that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the city. 4.Finding that the TIF Plan for the District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the city as a whole, for the development or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project No. 1 by private enterprise. The project to be assisted by the District will result in increased employment in the city and the State of Minnesota, the renovation of substandard properties, increased tax base of the State and add a high-quality commercial development to the city. Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 6, 2018 Action agenda item: 8c Executive summary Title: Traffic Study No. 698: Authorization of parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue Recommended action: Motion to adopt Resolution authorizing installation of parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard on both sides from the west city limits to Utica Avenue and on the south side from Utica Avenue to Huntington Avenue and rescinding Resolution No. 7453, and No. 02-024. Policy consideration: Does the council support restricting parking to facilitate safe travel of bicycles and vehicles along the Minnetonka Boulevard bike lanes and Southwest Light Rail trail detour? Summary: Hennepin County is planning to restripe Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 169 to Vernon Avenue. This work includes adding left turn lanes at select intersections, enhancing the bike lanes, installing bike safe catch basins, installing bike signage, installing bike detection at traffic signals, and installing flashing yellow arrows at Dakota Avenue. This project requires the current parking on the northwest corner of Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue to be restricted. Planned on Minnetonka Boulevard at that location are two vehicle travel lanes, a dedicated left turn lane, and two bike lanes. There is not sufficient room in the right of way to accommodate these features as well as a parking lane. The work increases the safety of all users of Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue as well as the entire corridor. The left turn lane removes vehicles blocking thru traffic. Flashing yellow arrows (FYA) are also planned for this signalized intersection in the near future. The project is also planned in anticipation of the Southwest Light Rail construction. The light rail construction will close the Cedar Lake Trail from France Avenue to Hopkins for up to three years. During the trail closure, Minnetonka Boulevard from Toledo Avenue to Xylon Avenue will be used as the official trail detour. Financial or budget considerations: The cost to install these traffic controls are the responsibility of Hennepin County since the road is the county’s right of way. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably. Supporting documents: Discussion Resolution Resolutions 7453 and 02-024 to be rescinded Location map Prepared by: Ben Manibog, Transportation Engineer Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, Engineering Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8c) Page 2 Title: Traffic Study No. 698: Authorization of parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue Discussion Background: Hennepin County is planning maintenance work on Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 169 to Lake Street. This work includes adding left turn lanes at select intersections, enhancing the bike lanes, installing bike safe catch basins, installing bike signage, installing bike detection at traffic signals, and installing flashing yellow arrows at Dakota Avenue. In order to accommodate the proposed road cross section of Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue, the existing on street parking on the northwest corner must be restricted. There is not enough room in the right of way to accommodate on street parking in addition to the dedicated left turn lanes and bike lanes at the intersection. Dedicated left turn lanes: The existing cross section of Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue is two vehicle travel lanes and a bike lane in each direction. In addition, there is a parking lane approximately two car lengths long for westbound traffic west of the intersection. The intersection is controlled by a traffic signal that is owned and operated by Hennepin County. During rush hours, the majority of the traffic that moves through the intersection travels east and west. When a vehicle needs to make a left turn off of Minnetonka Boulevard, they use the inside lane to wait to make the turn. This blocks the cars behind them from making the thru movement in the intersection, which causes delay and congestion. This has been a consistent complaint we have heard from the community concerning this intersection. By installing a dedicated left turn lane, left turning cars are brought out of mainline traffic and thru traffic is free to pass through the intersection. Flashing yellow arrows (FYA) are also planned for this signalized intersection. The FYA helps prevent crashes and moves more traffic through an intersection. Drivers make fewer mistakes with FYA signals compared to traditional left turn arrow signals. Bicycle facilities: The project enhances the existing bicycle facilities along Minnetonka Boulevard. The bike lanes will be widened and defined to be at least five feet across the entire corridor. The county is also converting out of date catch basins with bike friendly catch basins. Bike lane signage will be added across the corridor as well as updated striping and symbols on the street. At select intersections, green cross-bike striping will be added. The new striping raises awareness for drivers that it is a location where people are biking across the intersection. One of these intersections is at Texas Avenue where the city is also installing cross-bike striping for north and southbound traffic. Along with the FYA improvements, bike detection will be installed at select signalized intersections. This means that independent of vehicles, the presence of bikes can alert the signal of queued traffic which helps prioritize bicycle traffic. The project is also planned in anticipation of the Southwest Light Rail construction. The light rail construction will close the Cedar Lake Trail from France Avenue to Hopkins for up to three City council meeting of August 6, 2018 (Item No. 8c) Page 3 Title: Traffic Study No. 698: Authorization of parking restrictions on Minnetonka Boulevard at Dakota Avenue years. During the trail closure, Minnetonka Boulevard from Toledo Avenue to Xylon Avenue will be used as the official detour. On street parking: In the northwest portion of the intersection of Minnetonka Boulevard and Dakota Avenue, there is currently on street parking available for about two vehicles. This parking has existed on Minnetonka Boulevard at this location since at least 1965. The most recent major project on Minnetonka Boulevard was in 2002 which required the restriction of much of the parking in the project area. The parking at Dakota Avenue was the only section that was held over. To accommodate the proposed two travel lanes, two bike lanes, and a dedicated left turn lane at the intersection of Minnetonka Boulevard and Dakota Avenue, the existing on street parking must be removed. We have reviewed the existing on-site parking for the businesses at this corner. They meet the city’s parking requirements, and do no rely on these spaces to meet code. In a scenario where the existing parking remained while providing the turn lanes and travel lanes, bikes would have to share the road with vehicles next to parking. This is normally marked in paint with “sharrows” on the street. This bicycle treatment is not recommended because it is not safe for all users with the road’s speeds and vehicle volumes. Minnetonka Boulevard at this location has 14,000 vehicles traveling through a day. The speed limit is 35 mph. According to the Minnesota State Aid standards (under Minnesota administrative rules 8820.9951), the bike facility the county must provide for bikes in either a bike lane, a paved shoulder lane, or a shared use path. A shared lane is not an option for an on road bicycle facility at this location under state administrative rules. Allowing bikes and vehicles to share a lane on a high speed and volume road is not safe and is not considered designed for all ages all abilities. Public outreach: Engineering staff sent letters to the three properties impacted by the implementation of this parking restriction. We have heard back from one of the property owners and they are not supportive of the change. Schedule This work is planned to be completed this fall. Work on upgrading the catch basins to be bike safe is already underway.
