Policy consideration: Does the EDA support pooling an additional 10% within the Mill City TIF District to use for eligible rental housing purposes? Summary: The Minnesota TIF Act allows for the EDA/city to pool up to an additional 10% of tax increment from TIF districts above the standard allowable limit for rental housing that meets low-income housing tax credit requirements. The projects need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent and income restricted. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation, and public improvements directly related to the rental housing, provided these costs were not funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city. The final payment on the Mill City TIF Note (related to the apartment development at 7201 Walker Street) is expected to be paid on February 1, 2023. Once this obligation is paid, this redevelopment TIF district must either be decertified or the TIF district’s plan be modified. Per the recommendations in the 2022 Annual TIF District Management Review & Analysis prepared by Ehlers and presented at the October 24, 2022 study session, and resulting EDA direction, staff is recommending that the TIF plan for the Mill City TIF Districts be modified to allow up to 35% of its tax increment be retained annually for eligible affordable housing costs through the required decertification date of December 31, 2026. As permitted under special legislation, these pooled funds would then be transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) to be used per the AHTF Policy. The remaining 65% of the increment would be returned to the county each year for redistribution to the city, county, and school district as general property taxes. Financial or budget considerations: It is estimated there could be approximately $2.4 million in pooled tax increment from the Mill City TIF District that could be used for affordable housing purposes through 2026. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

The projects need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent and income restricted. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation and public improvements directly related to the rental housing, as long as these costs were not funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city. Present considerations: The final payment on the Mill City TIF Note (related to the apartment development at 7201 Walker Street) is expected to be paid on February 1, 2023. Once this obligation is fully paid, this redevelopment TIF district must either be decertified or the district’s TIF plan be modified to authorize the use of its pooled tax increment. Proposed Administrative Modification to Mill City TIF Plan Budget: As discussed at the October 24, 2022, study session, Ehlers recommends modifying the Mill City TIF Plan budget to authorize an additional 10% of the district’s pooled tax increment be retained for affordable housing purposes (total of 35%). It is estimated there could be approximately $2.4 million in tax increment from this district available for affordable housing through the through the district’s required decertification date of 2026. With the proposed TIF plan modification, 35% of the district’s tax increment will be retained annually starting in 2024 and transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund pursuant to special legislation received by the City in 2021. The remaining 65% of the tax increment will be returned to the county each year for redistribution to the city, county and school district as general property taxes. Next steps: Following EDA approval of the proposed TIF district plan modification and final payment on the Mill City TIF Note on February 1, 2023, 35% of the tax increment from the Mill City TIF District will be retained and transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund annually through 2026 to be used for eligible affordable housing purposes. This modification can be revisited by the EDA annually until the required decertification date, should the EDA wish to change the pooling. Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 3 Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for the Mill City TIF District (Ward 3) EDA Resolution No. 22-____ Resolution approving a modification to tax increment financing plan for the Mill City Tax Increment Financing District in connection with pooling for affordable housing Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) previously established Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor, as amended (the “Redevelopment Plan”). The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) have also established the Mill City Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF District”), which is a redevelopment TIF District, within the Project Area, and adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan for the TIF District (the “TIF Plans”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”); Whereas, in connection with making an election to authorize certain expenditures for affordable housing pursuant to Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the Authority desires to amend the TIF Plan for the TIF District to provide for an administrative change to the budget set forth therein (the “Amendment”); Whereas, pursuant to Laws of Minnesota 2021, First Special Session, Chapter 14, Article 9, Section 5 (the “Special Law”), the City and the Authority are authorized to transfer tax increment accumulated for housing and development purposes under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, subdivision 2(b) or (d), to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund established by the City. Whereas, the Amendment does not increase the total estimated tax increment expenditures, amount of bonded indebtedness, or capitalized interest, or make any other changes that would require a new public hearing pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 4 of the TIF Act. Now, therefore, be it resolved as follows: 1. Findings for the Adoption of the Amendment. The Board of Commissioners finds that the Amendment is intended to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, to create an impetus for the construction of decent, safe and sanitary housing for persons of low and moderate income by better utilizing blighted, polluted and underutilized land and enhancing the tax base of the City, and to otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and in the Amendment. The Board of Commissioners hereby ratifies and confirms the findings made in connection with the establishment of the TIF District. 2. Election to Authorize Certain Expenditures for Affordable Housing. In accordance with Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City and Authority may elect to Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3b) Page 4 Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for the Mill City TIF District (Ward 3) increase by up to 10% the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located outside the geographic area of any tax increment financing district, provided that the expenditures (a) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a qualified low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; (b) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; (c) be used to: (i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing; (ii) acquire, construct, or rehabilitate the housing; or (iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing; and (d) to assist owner-occupied housing that meets the requirements of section 469.1761, subdivision 2. The Board of Commissioners hereby elects to authorize utilizing up to 35% of the tax increment from the TIF District, less any amount utilized for administrative expenses, for such housing expenditures as set forth in the Amendment.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to adopt the proposed Spending Plan for $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment to provide financial assistance to identified redevelopment projects within St. Louis Park to further the city’s comprehensive plan goals and strategic priorities? Summary: In 2021, the Minnesota Legislature provided temporary authority to cities and EDAs to utilize unobligated tax increment from existing tax increment financing (TIF) districts to further stimulate private development that would not otherwise commence without such assistance. Unobligated tax increment includes paid property taxes from any TIF districts that are not designated for payment to a developer or city as of July 1, 2021. The approved legislation allows cities and EDAs to use these funds to provide loans, interest rate subsidies, or other financial assistance to private developments, provided they stimulate new construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and, in so doing, create or retain jobs in the state (including construction jobs). The funds must be used to fill a gap in a project’s financing and need to be spent by December 31, 2025. Use of unobligated tax increment from specified TIF districts must be authorized under a Spending Plan and adopted by the city and EDA by December 31, 2022. Per the recommendation from the EDA’s financial consultant (Ehlers) during the annual TIF Management Plan study session on October 24, 2022, the EDA/city council expressed support for adopting such a Spending Plan under which a total of approximately $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment from eight TIF districts would be transferred to a separate account for the authorized uses outlined above. Under the proposed Spending Plan prepared by Ehlers, financial assistance could be provided to the following redevelopments: Beltline Station Development, OlyHi Development, Union Park Flats, the Minnetonka Blvd. affordable housing project or others. Financial or budget considerations: The proposed Spending Plan authorizes that approximately $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment from the West End, Victoria Ponds, Zarthan and 16th Street, Wolfe Lake Commercial, Mill City, Park Commons, Aquila Commons and 4900 Excelsior TIF districts be transferred to a separate account to facilitate identified redevelopments in the city such as those listed above. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA and council find that the proposed Collateral Assignment of Tax Increment Note and Redevelopment Agreement conform to the Contract for Private Redevelopment with The Mera, LLC and is in the city’s best interest? Summary: Bigos-9920 Wayzata, LLC entered into a Purchase and Redevelopment Contract with the EDA on March 21, 2022, for the development of Mera (formerly known as 9920 Wayzata Boulevard). The EDA sold portions of property to Bigos-9920 Wayzata, LLC on August 31, 2022, and building permits have been issued. On October 3, 2022 the EDA approved the Assignment and Assumption of the Purchase and Redevelopment Contract between Bigos-9920 Wayzata, LLC and The Mera, LLC (a Bigos affiliate) and will issue a TIF Note to The Mera, LLC upon the development’s completion pursuant to the Contract. Under the Contract, the EDA agreed to permit the collateral assignment of the TIF Note to the holder of any mortgage securing construction or permanent financing, provided the assignment is approved by the EDA. The Mera, LLC has a construction loan for the project with Old National Bank. The bank has requested assignment of the TIF Note as security for the loan and has asked that the EDA in its role as the registrar for the TIF Note execute consents to such assignments. The proposed Collateral Assignment of Tax Increment Note and Redevelopment Agreement is similar to other such assignments the EDA has previously approved for other projects. The proposed agreement has been reviewed by the EDA’s legal counsel who recommends their approval. Financial or budget considerations: All costs associated with the preparation of the proposed Collateral Assignment of Tax Increment Note and Redevelopment Agreement (Kennedy & Graven) are to be paid by The Mera, LLC. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Policy consideration: Does the EDA wish to approve the first amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC (an affiliate of Sherman Associates) to facilitate the proposed Beltline Boulevard Station Development? Summary: In June 2022, the EDA entered into a Purchase Agreement with Beltline Station LLC to sell property at the southeast corner of CSAH 25 and Beltline Boulevard to facilitate the construction of the Beltline Boulevard Station Development. The purchase agreement required the Redeveloper to close on its land purchase from the EDA and pay off its bridge loan with the EDA for the acquisition of the adjoining 4725 Hwy 7 property no later than December 31, 2022. EDA staff, the developer, the Metropolitan Council, Ehlers (the EDA’s financial consultant), and associated legal counsels have been working diligently to meet this deadline. However, due to the multi-phased project’s high degree of complexity, the intricacies involved in a public/private partnership with federal funding as well as the financial challenges posed by rising interest rates and increased construction costs, additional time is needed to finalize remaining contracts prior to formal EDA consideration. A building permit is ready to be issued for the 82-unit all-affordable component pending property acquisition. Additionally, architectural plans are in the final design phase for the 146- unit market rate building, the 156-unit mixed-use building, and the 592-stall parking ramp. Staff and Kennedy and Graven, the EDA’s legal counsel, recommend the EDA amend the purchase agreement and associated loan documents to require the land sale and repayment of the bridge loan occur no later than June 30, 2023. It is anticipated that the purchase and construction commencement will occur several months earlier than these dates, but staff would like to build in additional time out of an abundance of caution to avoid bringing additional amendments to the EDA. Financial or budget considerations: The EDA intends to sell its property at the southeast corner of CSAH 25 and Beltline Boulevard to Beltline Development LLC for $6,015,001. The EDA provided Sherman Associates a bridge loan of $3.1 million to purchase the property at 4725 Hwy 7 (the former Vision Bank site). The remaining balance of the loan ($895,168.21) will be repaid with interest when the EDA closes on its land sale with the Redeveloper. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development. Supporting documents: Discussion; EDA resolution Prepared by: Jennifer Monson, redevelopment administrator Reviewed by: Greg Hunt, economic development manager Karen Barton, community development director, EDA executive director Approved by: Kim Keller, city manager Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3f) Page 2 Title: First amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC related to the Beltline Station Development (Ward 1) Discussion Background: Sherman Associates (“Redeveloper”) seeks to acquire the 6.6-acre site at the southeast corner of CSAH 25 and Beltline Boulevard from the EDA and construct a major transit-oriented development with the following components: • Seven-story mixed-use building with six levels of market rate housing (156 units) and approximately 21,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space, potentially anchored by a grocer. • Four-story all-affordable apartment building with 82 units and underground parking. Of these, 77 units would be available at 60% AMI, five units would be available at 30% AMI and 22 units would be three-bedrooms. • Five-story market rate apartment building with 146 units and underground parking. • 592-stall parking ramp, including 268 park and ride stalls. The development will exceed both the city’s inclusionary housing policy requirements (Oct 2021) and the city’s green building policy requirements (July 2020) as outlined in this staff report. In June, the EDA/city council created two TIF Districts, Beltline Station 1 and Beltline Station 2, and approved the purchase agreement and redevelopment contract relating to Beltline Station 1. Present considerations: The purchase agreement required the Redeveloper to close on its land purchase from the EDA and pay off its bridge loan with the EDA for the acquisition of the adjoining 4725 Hwy 7 property no later than December 31, 2022. EDA staff, the developer, the Metropolitan Council, Ehlers (the EDA’s financial consultant), and associated legal counsels have been working diligently to complete contracts related to the market rate, mixed-use, and parking ramp components of the development. However, additional time is needed to finalize contracts prior to formal EDA consideration due to the project’s high degree of complexity given its multiple components, financial challenges posed by rising interest rates and increased construction costs, as well as the intricacies involved in a public private partnership with federal funding and oversight. The list of contracts that are currently being finalized and expected to be brought to the EDA for formal consideration in the coming weeks include: • The contract for private development related to the mixed use and market rate components associated with Beltline Station 2 TIF District. o All associated subordination agreements with various lenders related to each building component. • An amendment to the CMAQ Grant Agreement with the Metropolitan Council to make Beltline Station LLC a formal partner of the EDA. • An amendment to the Cooperative Construction Agreement with the Metropolitan Council to make Beltline Station LLC a formal partner of the EDA. • A Reciprocal Easement and Operating Agreement (REOA) between the EDA, Beltline Station LLC and the Metropolitan Council formalizing ramp ownership, access, operations, and maintenance of the parking ramp. Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3f) Page 3 Title: First amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC related to the Beltline Station Development (Ward 1) Architectural site plan The overall Beltline Boulevard Station Development’s proposed mix of unit types is provided below. Unit Type Summary Building Studio Alcove 1 bed 1bed+ 2bed 2bed+ 3bed TOTAL Building 1: Market Rate 21 11 56 15 53 156 Building 2: Affordable 30% AMI - 1 60% AMI -14 30%AMI - 3 60%AMI - 42 30%AMI - 1 60%AMI - 21 5 77 Building 3: Market Rate 15 53 15 58 5 146 Total 21 26 124 30 156 5 22 384 Inclusionary housing policy: The proposed Beltline Boulevard Station Development exceeds the requirements of the city’s inclusionary housing policy in effect October 2021. The Development would be mixed income with 302 market rate units and 82 units (20 percent) offered at affordable rents in one building. Specifically, 77 units would offer affordable rents to households at 60% AMI and five units would offer affordable rents to households at 30% AMI, exceeding the city’s inclusionary housing requirements (“the affordable component”). An all- affordable building differs from the Inclusionary Housing Policy requirement that all affordable units be spread between the various buildings; however, in this case, it is the most efficient financing and design structure for the affordable housing. It allows the Redeveloper to deliver more affordable housing units, targeting areas of greatest housing need including: Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3f) Page 4 Title: First amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC related to the Beltline Station Development (Ward 1) • Family sized housing units. o 67 (82%) of the affordable units would be two bedrooms or larger. o 22 units (27%) would be three bedrooms. o The average unit floor area would be 1,029 square feet. • More deeply affordable units: five (5) units at 30% AMI. • Well-designed and quality housing units in any product type. Examples include: o Two- and three-bedroom units generally have two baths. o Structured/tempered parking. o Ample common area amenities to serve the needs of residents/families. o Exterior building materials that complement and match the adjacent market rate buildings. o Most units would have a balcony or walk out patio. Amenities for the affordable building are similar to those in the market rate buildings but are designed more specifically with families in mind, and include a fitness room, club room, pet spa, playground, indoor play area, splash pad and amenity deck. Green building policy: The proposed development exceeds the city’s Green Building Policy requirements as amended July 2020. The Redeveloper intends to use Enterprise Green Communities as its design rating system for the all-affordable building (which is a requirement of the LIHTC allocation), and SB2030/B3 for the market rate buildings. Both rating systems meet the requirements of the green building policy. In general, the development will pursue goals to achieve energy efficiency within the building envelopes, increased indoor environmental quality to enhanced occupant health and productivity, the buildings will utilize green products and materials during product sourcing and manufacturing. In general, the site is situated and designed to provide for local multimodal connectivity. Among the sustainability features to be included are: • Energy star qualified appliances and equipment. • Energy conservation strategies that include improvements to the building envelope, lighting control, higher efficiency HVAC equipment, efficient water heating systems, and on-site and off-site renewable energy. • The site designed to conserve water, control erosion, and protect water quality. Some best management practices include permeable paving, roof deck plants, and underground stormwater storage. • Construction waste management and recycling. • Waste management that includes recycling and trash chutes and resident training manuals. • Reduction in light pollution. • Low-emitting materials including flooring adhesives, carpets, paints, and furnishings. • Radon control and mitigation. • Rooftop solar panels on either Affordable building or the parking ramp A total of 22 level two spaces for residential uses and six level two spaces for commercial uses will be provided. Additional conduit will be provided for 14 future level two spaces within the park and ride portion of the ramp, which is not required to adhere to city ordinances. Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3f) Page 5 Title: First amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC related to the Beltline Station Development (Ward 1) In addition, Sherman Associates developed, owns and operates two solar gardens under Xcel Energy’s community solar program totaling 6.75 megawatts. Buildings and tenants at Beltline could subscribe to Sherman’s solar gardens under the community solar program. Climate Action Plan: The Redeveloper understands the city’s desire to reduce the city’s overall carbon emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and would contribute to the city’s goal of reducing vehicle emissions by 25 percent. The site is adjacent to the SWLRT Beltline Boulevard Station and the Cedar Lake LRT Regional Trail creating great multimodal access immediately adjacent and surrounding the site. Mobility access includes LRT, sidewalks, multi-use trails, and frequent bus service once LRT is operational. These modes link the site to the immediate amenities, but also to the greater metro area without needing to rely on a vehicle. Diversity, equity and inclusion: Sherman Associates has expressed that they are committed to advancing equitable developments and utilize their projects to advance social, racial, and economic equity. They have committed to advancing these goals throughout the development process itself and with the product being delivered. Examples of strategies Sherman Associates has employed to advance social, racial, and economic equity include: • Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program contracting. • Corporate charitable giving strategy with a corporate match. • Commitment to developing/owning/managing quality affordable housing. • Partnering to provide housing and supportive services to families and individuals at risk of homelessness. • Partnering to provide housing and supportive services to individuals with significant and long- term disabilities. • Leadership involvement and mentorship in industry professional programs promoting diversity initiatives. Due to the timing of this proposal and the execution of the preliminary development contract (2018), the EDA’s DEI policy is not in effect for this development. However, the Redeveloper has agreed to the inclusion of business enterprise and workforce participation goals for women and black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) in the construction of the development. Rendering of proposed Beltline Station Development Economic development authority meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 3f) Page 6 Title: First amendment to the purchase agreement with Beltline Development LLC related to the Beltline Station Development (Ward 1) The Beltline Boulevard Station Development would be a multi-phased mixed-use development. Pending approval of its financing, Sherman Associates intends to start utility work in spring 2023 on all components of the development. An affiliate of Sherman Associates would own and manage the commercial and residential components of the development for the long-term. In accordance with federal funding requirements, it is proposed that the ramp will be owned by multiple entities including various Sherman Associate LLCs and the EDA. The portion of the ramp owned by the EDA would be leased back to Metro Transit to provide required parking for the adjacent SWLRT Beltline Blvd Station. Metro Transit and Sherman Associates will be responsible for the long-term maintenance and operations of the ramp and will enter into a reciprocal easement and operating agreement (REOA). This document needs to be finalized at the time the EDA sells the property to Beltline Station LLC. Next steps: The Redeveloper completed a soft close on its financing of the affordable component in July 2022. The EDA/city council will be asked to consider formal approval of the contract for private development related to Beltline Station’s mixed use and market rate components and all contracts associated with the construction of the parking ramp in early 2023. Following approval, the Redeveloper intends to close on its project financing in early 2023 and commence construction by spring 2023. Once the ramp construction is complete, the Redeveloper will submit applications for a Registered Land Survey (RLS) to vertically separate the ownership entities. The approval process for a RLS is similar to a plat and requires a recommendation by the planning commission and city council approval.

Policy consideration: Does the city council approve the recommended 2023 art and culture grant awards? Summary: The council has supported the annual arts and culture grant program since its inception in 2006. The grant program is intended to fund art projects and cultural activities that build bridges between artists and communities, engage people in creative learning, promotes health and well-being, and provide cultural experiences in St. Louis Park. Art projects must also advance the core themes of the Strategic Roadmap for Advancing Arts and Culture which include: connect people, ideas, and communities; enliven public spaces; promote health and wellbeing; and advance equity and inclusion. The program is funded through the city’s Development Fund. St. Louis Park Friends of the Arts provides technical assistance to the program. The grant committee is comprised of the Park Public Schools & Community Foundation, Friends of the Arts, city staff, Discover St. Louis Park, and community members. The committee recently reviewed the applications for 2023 and identified projects that most closely met the program’s objectives and are compatible with the council’s strategic direction for arts and culture. Fifteen (15) applications were received for the 2023 grant process. The review committee determined that the following three projects best met the program’s selection criteria and are recommended for council approval: • Jeremy Breningstall: Coming Back: Celebrating SLP in the post-pandemic era ($4,000, photography) • Overdressed Duo: Opera Under the Stars ($10,000, opera) • The Park Theater Company: Dr. B. Robert Lewis: SLP Political Pathfinder ($6,000, theatre) Financial or budget considerations: The total recommended amount in art and culture grant awards in 2023 is $20,000 which matches the amount budgeted in the 2023 Development Fund. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Summary: The city council rules of procedure provide guidelines for the conduct of public business by the council. This includes conduct of meetings, the agenda and order of business, and general rules of order. All meetings of the council are subject to the open meeting law as well as the rules set forth in the St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter, and the St. Louis Park City Code. The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure is followed for proceedings of the council. Earlier this year the council discussed and directed updates to the rules of procedure. The proposed changes are meant to reflect actual practices and the council’s strategic priorities related to community and civic engagement. The rules of procedure are also meant to be a guide for all stakeholders to better understand how the council conducts business and their role in public meetings. If approved, staff will coordinate messaging and the launch of additional educational resources (print and digital) designed to inform the public about what they can expect if they watch or attend council meetings and opportunities for participation. These resources will serve as critical components of the city’s strategy to increase civic engagement overall. Financial or budget considerations: Money is budgeted for the development and production of educational resources and communications materials. No additional funding is required. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 4c) Page 7 Title: Resolution amending the city council rules of procedure B. Preparation and introduction of items for consideration Ordinances, resolutions and other matters which require action by the council may be prepared and introduced by the council, the city manager or city attorney and will be reviewed and approved prior to submission to the council by the city manager and/or city attorney. Members of the public may make requests to the council on any matter considered to be of concern to the city provided that the request is communicated in advance of the meeting so that the item of business can be added to the meeting agenda. Prior to placement on the agenda, requests from the public will be reviewed by appropriate city staff and measures to resolve the situation or assist the petitioner in making the presentation will be taken wherever appropriate. Every ordinance and resolution shall be presented in writing and read in full at a council meeting. However, the reading of a resolution or an ordinance may be dispensed with by unanimous consent of the council. b. Types of items. The following types of items generally appear on regular, special, or emergency meeting agendas because they require formal action by the council. • Ordinance – used when the action of council regulates or governs people or property and provides a penalty for its violation. Any ordinance should be of general application within the city, and of a permanent and continuing nature. State statute and city charter also require certain actions to be in ordinance form. The city charter requires two readings of all ordinances, except emergency ordinances, prior to approval by the council. The first reading will generally be an item under regular business. The second reading will generally be a consent item unless additional discussion or separate action of the council is required. Members of the public can view proposed ordinances in a draft form on the city website at least 10 days prior to consideration by the council. Ordinances are official, permanent records of the city and make up the contents of the city code. • Resolution – used for any action of a temporary or administrative nature when it is reasonably certain that the action to be taken is of significant historical value. Resolutions may appear on the agenda as a consent item or item of regular business. Resolutions are official, permanent records of the city. • Administrative – items that can generally be approved by motion of the council, such as policy direction, and do not specifically require approval by ordinance or resolution. All actions of the council are recorded in the minutes of the meeting, which are official, permanent records of the city. The St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter requires every ordinance and resolution to be presented in writing and read in full at a council meeting. However, the reading City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 4c) Page 8 Title: Resolution amending the city council rules of procedure of a resolution or an ordinance may be dispensed with by unanimous agreement of the council. The following types of items generally appear on study session agendas because they do not require immediate action by the council. • Discussion – Items that require policy direction and/or more in-depth discussion by the council. Many items on study session agendas eventually end up on regular meeting agendas for official action by council. • Written report – items that are provided to the council for information purposes.

Policy consideration: Does the city council support pooling an additional 10% within the Mill City TIF District to use for eligible rental housing purposes? Summary: The Minnesota TIF Act allows for the EDA/city to pool up to an additional 10% of tax increment from TIF districts above the standard allowable limit for rental housing that meets low-income housing tax credit requirements. The projects need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent and income restricted. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation, and public improvements directly related to the rental housing, provided these costs were not funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city. The final payment on the Mill City TIF Note (related to the apartment development at 7201 Walker Street) is expected to be paid on February 1, 2023. Once this obligation is paid, this redevelopment TIF district must either be decertified or the TIF district’s plan be modified. Per the recommendations in the 2022 Annual TIF District Management Review & Analysis prepared by Ehlers and presented at the October 24, 2022 study session, and resulting EDA direction, staff is recommending that the TIF plan for the Mill City TIF Districts be modified to allow up to 35% of its tax increment be retained annually for eligible affordable housing costs through the required decertification date of December 31, 2026. As permitted under special legislation, these pooled funds would then be transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) to be used per the AHTF Policy. The remaining 65% of the increment would be returned to the county each year for redistribution to the city, county, and school district as general property taxes. Financial or budget considerations: It is estimated there could be approximately $2.4 million in pooled tax increment from the Mill City TIF District that could be used for affordable housing purposes through 2026. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

The projects need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent and income restricted. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation and public improvements directly related to the rental housing, as long as these costs were not funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city. Present considerations: The final payment on the Mill City TIF Note (related to the apartment development at 7201 Walker Street) is expected to be paid on February 1, 2023. Once this obligation is fully paid, this redevelopment TIF district must either be decertified or the district’s TIF plan be modified to authorize the use of its pooled tax increment. Proposed Administrative Modification to Mill City TIF Plan Budget: As discussed at the October 24, 2022, study session, Ehlers recommends modifying the Mill City TIF Plan budget to authorize an additional 10% of the district’s pooled tax increment be retained for affordable housing purposes (total of 35%). It is estimated there could be approximately $2.4 million in tax increment from this district available for affordable housing through the through the district’s required decertification date of 2026. With the proposed TIF plan modification, 35% of the district’s tax increment will be retained annually starting in 2024 and transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund pursuant to special legislation received by the City in 2021. The remaining 65% of the tax increment will be returned to the county each year for redistribution to the city, county and school district as general property taxes. Next steps: Following EDA/city approval of the proposed TIF district plan modification and final payment on the Mill City TIF Note on February 1, 2023, 35% of the tax increment from the Mill City TIF District will be retained and transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund annually through 2026 to be used for eligible affordable housing purposes. This modification can be revisited by the EDA/city annually until the required decertification date, should the EDA/city wish to change the pooling. City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 4h) Page 3 Title: Administrative modification to the tax increment financing plan for the Mill City TIF District (Ward 3) Resolution No. 22-____ Resolution approving a modification to tax increment financing plan for the Mill City Tax Increment Financing District in connection with pooling for affordable housing Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park (the “City”) previously established Redevelopment Project No. 1 (the “Project Area”) and adopted a Redevelopment Plan therefor, as amended (the “Redevelopment Plan”). The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) have also established the Mill City Tax Increment Financing District (the “TIF District”), which is a redevelopment TIF District, within the Project Area, and adopted a Tax Increment Financing Plan for the TIF District (the “TIF Plan”), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”); Whereas, in connection with making an election to authorize certain expenditures for affordable housing pursuant to Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City desires to amend the TIF Plan for the TIF District to provide for administrative changes to the budget set forth therein (the “Amendment”); Whereas, pursuant to Laws of Minnesota 2021, First Special Session, Chapter 14, Article 9, Section 5 (the “Special Law”), the City and the Authority are authorized to transfer tax increment accumulated for housing and development purposes under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.1763, subdivision 2(b) or (d), to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund established by the City. Whereas, the Amendment does not increase the total estimated tax increment expenditures, amount of bonded indebtedness, or capitalized interest, or make any other changes that would require a new public hearing pursuant to Section 469.175, subd. 4 of the TIF Act. Now, therefore, be it resolved as follows: 1. Findings for the Adoption of the Amendment. The Council finds that the Amendment is intended to carry out the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan for the Project Area, to create an impetus for the construction of decent, safe and sanitary housing for persons of low and moderate income by better utilizing blighted, polluted and underutilized land and enhancing the tax base of the City, and to otherwise promote certain public purposes and accomplish certain objectives as specified in the Redevelopment Plan, as modified, and in the Amendment. The Council hereby ratifies and confirms the findings made in connection with the establishment of the TIF District.

Election to Authorize Certain Expenditures for Affordable Housing. In accordance with Section 469.1763, Subdivision 2(d) of the TIF Act, the City and Authority may elect to increase by up to 10% the permitted amount of expenditures for activities located outside the geographic area of any tax increment financing district, provided that the expenditures (a) be used exclusively to assist housing that meets the requirement for a qualified low-income building, as that term is used in section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; (b) not exceed the qualified basis of the housing, as defined under section 42(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, less the amount of any credit allowed under section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; (c) be used to: (i) acquire and prepare the site of the housing; (ii) acquire, construct, or rehabilitate the housing; or (iii) make public improvements directly related to the housing; and (d) to assist owner-occupied housing that meets the requirements of section 469.1761, subdivision 2. The Council hereby elects to authorize utilizing up to 35% of the tax increment from the TIF District, less any amount utilized for administrative expenses, for such housing expenditures as set forth in the Amendment.

Policy consideration: Does the city council support pooling an additional 10% within the Zarthan Avenue/16th Street TIF District to use for eligible rental housing purposes? Summary: The Minnesota TIF Act allows for the EDA/city to pool up to an additional 10% of tax increment from TIF districts above the standard allowable limit for rental housing that meets low-income housing tax credit requirements. The projects need to be tax credit eligible, meaning that they are both rent and income restricted. Eligible uses include acquisition and site preparation, construction, rehabilitation and public improvements directly related to the rental housing, as long as these costs were not funded through tax credits. The funds can be spent anywhere within the city. The final payments on the Zarthan Avenue/16th Street TIF District Notes (obligations to the developers of the Townplace Suites, Springhill Suites and 86 townhomes) are expected to be paid on February 1, 2023. Once these obligations are paid, this redevelopment TIF district must either be decertified or the TIF district’s plan be modified. As stated in the 2022 Annual TIF District Management Review & Analysis, prepared by Ehlers and presented at the October 24, 2022 study session, and per resulting EDA/city direction, staff recommends that the TIF plan for the Zarthan Avenue/16th Street TIF District be modified to allow up to 35% of its tax increment be annually retained for eligible affordable housing costs through the required decertification date of December 31, 2025. As permitted under special legislation, these pooled funds would then be transferred to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) to be used per the AHTF Policy. The remaining 65% of the increment would be returned to the county each year for redistribution to the city, county, and school district as general property taxes. Financial or budget considerations: It is estimated there could be approximately $1.45 million in pooled tax increment from the Zarthan Avenue/16th Street TIF District that could be used for affordable housing purposes through 2026. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Motion to adopt Resolution approving the Spending Plan for eight city TIF districts. Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to adopt the proposed Spending Plan for $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment to provide financial assistance to identified redevelopment projects within St. Louis Park to further the city’s comprehensive plan goals and strategic priorities? Summary: In 2021, the Minnesota Legislature provided temporary authority to cities and EDAs to utilize unobligated tax increment from existing tax increment financing (TIF) districts to further stimulate private development that would not otherwise commence without such assistance. Unobligated tax increment includes paid property taxes from any TIF districts that are not designated for payment to a developer or city as of July 1, 2021. The approved legislation allows cities and EDAs to use these funds to provide loans, interest rate subsidies, or other financial assistance to private developments, provided they stimulate new construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and, in so doing, create or retain jobs in the state (including construction jobs). The funds must be used to fill a gap in a project’s financing and need to be spent by December 31, 2025. Use of unobligated tax increment from specified TIF districts must be authorized under a Spending Plan and adopted by the city and EDA by December 31, 2022. Per the recommendation from the EDA’s financial consultant (Ehlers) during the annual TIF Management Plan study session on October 24, 2022, the EDA/city council expressed support for adopting such a Spending Plan under which a total of approximately $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment from eight TIF districts would be transferred to a separate account for the authorized uses outlined above. Under the proposed Spending Plan prepared by Ehlers, financial assistance could be provided to the following redevelopments: Beltline Station Development, OlyHi Development, Union Park Flats, the Minnetonka Blvd. affordable housing project or others. Financial or budget considerations: The proposed Spending Plan authorizes that approximately $1.9 million in unobligated tax increment from the West End, Victoria Ponds, Zarthan and 16th Street, Wolfe Lake Commercial, Mill City, Park Commons, Aquila Commons and 4900 Excelsior TIF districts be transferred to a separate account to facilitate identified redevelopments in the city such as those listed above. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

Recitals. 1.01. The City and the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) have previously established the following tax increment financing districts located within the City and adopted tax increment financing plans therefor, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 through 469.047, as amended, and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 through 469.1794, as amended (the “TIF Act”): the West End Tax Increment Financing District, the Victoria Ponds Tax Increment Financing District, the Zarthan and 16th Street Tax Increment Financing District, the Wolfe Lake Commercial Tax Increment Financing District, the Mill City Tax Increment Financing District, the Park Commons Tax Increment Financing District, the Aquila Commons Tax Increment Financing District, and the 4900 Excelsior Tax Increment Financing District (collectively, the “TIF Districts”). 1.02. Section 469.176, subdivision 4n of the TIF Act (the “Temporary TIF Authority Act”) authorizes the Authority to spend available tax increment from any existing tax increment financing district, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, to provide improvements, loans, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to private development consisting of construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and ancillary facilities, if the following conditions exist: (1) Such assistance will create or retain jobs in the State of Minnesota, including construction jobs; (2) Construction commences before December 31, 2025; (3) The construction would not have commenced before the dates specified above without the assistance; (4) Tax increments under the spending plan are spent by December 31, 2025; and (5) The City Council approves a written spending plan (after a duly noticed public hearing) that specifically authorizes the Authority to take such actions. 1.03. The Authority has proposed to apply available tax increments from the TIF Districts for various uses in accordance with the Temporary TIF Authority Act, and to that end has caused to be prepared a spending plan for the TIF Districts (the “Spending Plan”). City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 6a) Page 3 Title: Spending plan for specified city tax increment financing (TIF) districts 1.04. The assistance authorized under the Spending Plan expressly includes but is not limited to assistance for private development that provides for job creation, including construction jobs, and the development of various mixed-use developments located in the City as described in more detail in the Spending Plan. 1.05. The City and the Authority expect to transfer unobligated tax increment in accordance with the Temporary TIF Authority Act from each of the TIF Districts in the following estimated amounts, subject to final adjustment by the City Finance Director upon receipt of tax increment for such TIF Districts through December 31, 2022: 1.06. On the date hereof, the City Council conducted a public hearing regarding the Spending Plan, for which notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and on the City’s public website at least ten (10) days but not more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the public hearing, in accordance with the Temporary TIF Authority Act, and at which public hearing all persons were given the opportunity to be heard. 1.07. At its meeting on the date hereof, the Board of Commissioners of the Authority will consider a resolution approving the Spending Plan. Section 2. Approval. 2.01. The City Council further finds the Spending Plan is intended and, in the judgment of the City Council, its effect will be, to create an impetus for development and redevelopment activities in the City, including, but not limited to, developing or redeveloping blighted or underutilized sites, lands or areas within the City, providing necessary public improvements for private development in the City, helping provide a range of housing options in the City, supporting transit oriented development, and otherwise promoting certain public purposes and accomplishing certain objectives as specified in the Spending Plan. The City Council finds that the projects described in the Spending Plan would not commence by December 31, 2025 without assistance as permitted by the Temporary TIF Authority Act and that assistance will stimulate private development and the creation or retention of jobs in the state, including construction jobs. The City Council makes all the findings set forth in the Spending Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 6a) Page 4 Title: Spending plan for specified city tax increment financing (TIF) districts 2.02. The City Council finds that the tax increments from the TIF Districts to be transferred under the Spending Plan are not needed to pay obligations of the TIF Districts due within the six months following such transfer and are not improperly retained, received, spent, or transferred. 2.03. The Spending Plan is hereby approved and adopted and the Spending Plan shall be placed on file in the office of the Economic Development Manager of the City. The City Council authorizes transferring all tax increments from the TIF Districts under the Spending Plan to a segregated account by December 31, 2022 in the estimated amounts set forth above provided that such amounts may be adjusted by the Finance Director upon final determination of the unobligated tax increment based on receipt of tax increment through December 31, 2022 and spending tax increments under the Spending Plan by December 31, 2025 for projects which commence construction by December 31, 2025. 2.04. The City’s staff, advisors and legal counsel are authorized and directed to identify potential uses which are in accordance with the Spending Plan for projects that are likely to result in the most efficient and effective use of the identified funds, to proceed with the implementation of the Spending Plan and to negotiate, draft, and prepare all further plans, resolutions, documents and contracts necessary for this purpose for future approval and determination of the necessary findings under the law by the City Council. 2.05.

PURPOSE The St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) administers the Tax Increment Financing Districts listed above (the “TIF Districts”) in the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota (the “City”), and proposes to adopt a Spending Plan for the TIF Districts in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.176 Subd. 4n (the “Act”). The purpose of the Spending Plan is to develop or redevelop sites, lands or areas within the City in conformity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan or other City plans or objectives by using available tax increments from the TIF Districts to provide improvements, loans, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to private development consisting of the construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and ancillary facilities, which will create or retain jobs in this state, including construction jobs. II. UNOBLIGATED TIF FUNDS The Authority has identified up to $1,900,000 in unobligated funds on hand within the TIF Districts (“Unobligated Tax Increments”): III. PLAN The Authority is authorized as follows: (a) To use Unobligated Tax Increments from the TIF Districts to provide improvements, loans, interest rate subsidies, or assistance in any form to private development consisting of the construction or substantial rehabilitation of buildings and ancillary facilities (the "Projects") in financing assistance to further the goals in the City’s Comprehensive Plan or other City plans or objectives, if doing so will create or retain jobs in the state, including construction jobs, that the private development will commence before December 31, 2025; an d that such construction would not have commenced before December 31, 2025 without the assistance under this Spending Plan. The Authority must document its findings under this section (a) at the time of approval of assistance to each development. Preference for financing assistance will be for current projects that haven’t been able to move forward due to gaps in financing, or new redevelopment projects for environmental remediation, demolition, soil corrections, site preparation, underground and structured parking, affordable housing and other development costs related to construction of residential and commercial uses. Identified redevelopment s include but are not limited to the following: City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 6a) Title: Spending plan for specified city tax increment financing (TIF) districts Page 6 Beltline Station Development located at 4725 Hwy 7, 4604 Hwy 7, and 3130 Monterey Avenue consisting of affordable multifamily housing, market rate multifamily housing, commercial space and structured parking ; OlyHi Development located at 5950 and 5802 36th St. W. consisting of affordable multifamily housing, market rate multifamily housing, commercial space and structured parking; Union Park Flats located at 3700 Alabama Avenue and 6027 37th Street W consisting of affordable multifamily housing and structured parking.; and Minnetonka Blvd housing project located at 5639, 5643, 5647, and 5707 Minnetonka Blvd consisting of affordable housing and structured parking (collectively, the “Identified Projects”). The Identified Projects are each expected to create jobs, including construction jobs (representing jobs that would not otherwise exist elsewhere in Minnesota, or would not be retained in Minnesota). Costs to be financed with Unobligated Tax Increment for the Identified Projects include but are not limited to the costs of underground and structured parking, environmental remediation, site preparation, demolition of existing building, infrastructure improvements, affordable housing and other construction and development costs. The Projects shall commence before and incur redevelopment costs prior to December 31, 2025 (unless a later commencement date is authorized by law) and shall constitute Projects that would not commence by such date without the assistance provided pursuant to this Spending Plan. (b) To amend the budget set forth in the Tax Increment Financing Plans for the TIF Districts as necessary to provide for the assistance authorized by this Spending Plan.

The assistance provided pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the “Business Subsidy Law”), if applicable, and shall be subject to the City’s Business Subsidy Policy. This Spending Plan authorizes, but does not obligate, the Authority to spend Unobligated Tax Increment. Any obligation to provide assistance under this Spending Plan must be evidenced by a contact approved by the Board of Commissioners of the Authority, entered into with a private party who otherwise meets the requirements of this Spending Plan and the Act.

Policy consideration: • Is the council in support of setting the 2023 final property tax levy at $41,060,251 which is a 7.02% increase over the 2022 final property tax levy? • Is the council in support of setting the maximum HRA Levy allowed by state statute at $1,582,696, which is a 4.28% increase over the 2022 final HRA levy? • Is the council in support of setting an EDA levy in the amount of $500,000, which is a 0% increase over the 2022 final EDA levy? Summary: Included is information pertaining to the 2023 budget and 2023 general property tax, HRA & EDA levies. Information is also provided on the tax impacts to a median value residential homestead property. The 2023 preliminary property tax levy increase adopted on September 19 was 8% (General Levy), 0.0185% of estimated market value (HRA) and $500,000 (EDA). This would have resulted in a cumulative 7.76% increase. The updated budget is based on the tax levies listed in the “policy consideration” and results in a cumulative increase of 6.83%. Financial or budget considerations: The proposed tax levies support city services, capital improvements, and debt service obligations for fiscal year 2023. Strategic priority consideration: All areas of the adopted strategic priorities are impacted by the city’s budget. • St. Louis Park is committed to being a leader in racial equity and inclusion in order to create a more just and inclusive community for all. • St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in environmental stewardship. • St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood- oriented development. • St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably. • St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

Meeting: City council Meeting date: December 5, 2022 Action agenda item: 8a Executive summary Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution granting city support for the preferred layout for the Hennepin County Minnetonka Boulevard improvement project and authorizing staff to continue to work with Xcel Energy on undergrounding the overhead utilities. Policy considerations: • Does the city council support the preferred alternative design for the Minnetonka Boulevard reconstruction project? • Does the city council wish to continue to pursue the undergrounding of overhead utilities within the Minnetonka Boulevard corridor? Summary: Hennepin County is proposing to reconstruct Minnetonka Boulevard (County Road 5) between Highway 100 and France Avenue in St. Louis Park in 2024 and 2025. They hired Bolton and Menk, Inc. as their consultant to complete the project planning and engagement. Since 2021, engineering, communications, and public works staff have been working with their project team to develop a preferred design for this project. In addition to working with city staff, the project team has done extensive community engagement to help inform the recommended design. The planning phase to develop and evaluate alternatives for Minnetonka Boulevard is now complete. The project team has prepared a 30% layout of the preferred alternative (attached). A public hearing was held at the Nov. 21, 2022 council meeting. The attached discussion provides information addressing the questions that were presented during the public hearing. Financial or budget considerations: The total cost for the project is estimated to be $21.72 million. $13.11 million will be paid for using Hennepin County and federal funds. The city's share of the project cost is $8.61 million and is included in the city's capital improvement plan (CIP). The project will be paid for using utility funds and general obligation bonds. Additional information on the breakdown of the funding can be found in the Nov. 21, 2022 public hearing report (link provided below). 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 Additional resident feedback- received before Nov 21 public hearing Preferred layout Nov. 14, 2022 study session report Nov. 21, 2022 public hearing report Prepared by: Joseph Shamla, engineering project manager Reviewed by: Debra Heiser, engineering director Approved by: Kim Keller, city manager City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 2 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 Discussion Background Minnetonka Boulevard, between Highway 100 and France Avenue, was constructed in 1952 and is nearing the end of its useful life. Due to the bituminous overlays of this road, there are many locations where the curb is only 1 or 2 inches high. Hennepin County plans to reconstruct the roadway because routine maintenance activities such as bituminous overlays and crack seals are no longer cost-effective in preserving the road. In addition, the current design poses challenges for people biking, walking, and with limited mobility. The existing sidewalk facilities are located adjacent to the road at the back of curb, which can be uncomfortable for pedestrians. People with limited mobility have a difficult time using the sidewalks as there are utility poles, hydrants, and other obstacles located within the sidewalks that narrow the usable width of the sidewalk. Also, many intersections along the corridor do not meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are also safety concerns for pedestrians crossing the existing four-lane, undivided road. Additionally, the county's storm sewer on Minnetonka Boulevard needs to be upgraded and expanded. In most areas, the stormwater is accommodated by the adjacent city stormwater system. This project will design and accommodate the stormwater for this corridor. Information regarding this project was shared with the city council in a written report at the Nov. 14 study session. The study session report, which includes recommendations for the elements to include in this project, is attached. A summary of the information in the report: • Project description • Concept design and evaluation • Public process • Preferred alternative • Coordinating work: City utility replacement • Coordinating work: Undergrounding of overhead utilities • Next steps Parking The approval of the preliminary layout for Minnetonka Boulevard will require the city to provide a resolution that prohibits parking along Minnetonka Boulevard from Highway 100 to County Road 25. Minnetonka Boulevard is currently signed no parking from Highway 100 to approximately 170 feet east of Inglewood Avenue. The roadway system from Inglewood Avenue to Glenhurst Avenue will be a city street and will have designated parking stalls for the adjacent land uses to replace the parallel parking stalls removed as part of the roadway reconfiguration. Current parking restrictions along Minnetonka Boulevard were enacted through a combination of resolutions and an ordinance that dates back to the 1950s. Staff recommends rescinding the various resolutions and the ordinance. Due to the timeline associated with rescinding an ordinance, staff will bring the parking resolution to council in early 2023 for approval. City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 3 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 Public hearing An overview of the recommended layout, along with the financial considerations for this project, was presented at the Nov. 21, 2022 city council meeting. The mayor opened the public hearing, inviting members of the public to speak regarding the recommended design. In addition to these comments, staff also received emails from the public to be included in the public hearing record, which are attached to this report. What follows is a summary and staff responses to the questions and comments from the public hearing and from council members. As a note, traffic studies referenced regarding the project were completed by Hennepin County. City staff have reviewed the methodology and results. 1. How will the 4 lane-to-3 lane conversion affect traffic flow on Minnetonka Boulevard, including turning on and off side streets? Concerns were shared that the conversion of the road from a 4-lane to a 3-lane design does not prioritize cars and will cause traffic issues. A comprehensive traffic study was completed as a part of the concept evaluation process. This looked at current and future traffic volumes as well as safety, capacity, and mobility. Also taken into consideration was prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian safety and connectivity, transit service, a robust, sustainable, and inviting public realm (e.g., green infrastructure, boulevards, trees, stormwater treatment, etc.), and developing a sustainable and implementable plan. The construction of a 4-lane roadway was eliminated in project development as it would have come at the expense of other project objectives. Current Hennepin County standards require the installation of a continuous median for a 4-lane roadway, effectively creating a 5-lane road. There is not enough existing right of way to accommodate this design, necessitating significant private property acquisition and impacting buildings to allow for the inclusion of facilities for anything other than vehicles. The construction of a 4-lane roadway would not be able to include the proposed upgrades to the pedestrian and bicycle facilities, would have limited green space and stormwater treatment opportunities, and would result in decreased safety for all users. Ignoring the needs of other modes of transportation would contradict Hennepin County's defined 2040 Comprehensive Plan goals and the stated goals and considerations of the Minnetonka Boulevard reconstruction project. It would also not be in alignment with the following City of St. Louis Park plans and policies: • Climate Action Plan o Initiative 6.4: Enable reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) from single- occupancy vehicles o Improve the city's average walk score from 47 to 60 by 2030 • 2040 Comprehensive Plan o Plan, design, build and operate the city's mobility system in a way that prioritizes walking first, followed by bicycling and transit use, and then motor vehicle use o Ensure the quality and function of the transportation system contribute to equitable outcomes for all people o Eliminate fatalities and serious injuries that are a result of crashes on city streets City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 4 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 • Living Streets Policy o Enhance walking/ biking conditions and connections o Traffic management o Create a sense of place The proposed 3-lane roadway is expected to function well based on the current and future traffic volumes on Minnetonka Boulevard (approx. 15,000 vehicles per day). These roadway conversions are commonly called a "road diet" and are widely used to improve the safety and functioning of a road. The city's comprehensive plan highlights that roadways with 14-17,000 vehicles per day are good candidates for this type of conversion. Road diets have minimal effects on capacity. In addition, they help to make the roadway safer and more usable for all modes of transportation. Benefits include: For vehicles: • Separating left-turning traffic has been shown to reduce delays on the road and at intersections. • The addition of a center left-turn lane can reduce collisions on the road by between 20 – 50%. • Side-street traffic can more comfortably enter the mainline roadway because there are fewer lanes to cross. This can reduce side street traffic delays. • A road diet provides more consistent traffic flow and less "accordion-style" slow-and-go operations along the corridor. For pedestrians and bicyclists: • Four-lane roadways often generate high speeds. Road diets have been shown to slow traffic. • The installation of a center turn lane creates space to install pedestrian refuge islands to make crossings safer and easier. • Fewer travel lanes make crossings of the roadways less complex and shorter. • Reducing the number of lanes and adding a grass boulevard provides separation of vehicles from pedestrians and bicyclists and makes the corridor more comfortable to walk and roll down. • Space within the existing right of way is created to construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities, eliminating the need to purchase private property. Based upon the referenced planning level thresholds and detailed corridor analysis, a three- lane section is sufficient at most corridor intersections during peak and off-peak conditions. The exceptions are the Highway 100 and County Road 25 intersections to accommodate the higher traffic volumes in these locations additional lanes will be installed. 2. Can County Road 25 handle the additional traffic that will be diverted from Minnetonka Boulevard? The reconfiguration of the Minnetonka Boulevard and County Road 25 intersection will lower the traffic volume on Minnetonka Boulevard and increase the traffic volume on Country Road 25. Approximately 20% of traffic during rush hour periods are utilizing Minnetonka Boulevard as a commuter route to areas west of Highway 100 and east of St. City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 5 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 Louis Park. This perceived "shortcut" will be less attractive for commuters, with County Road 25 providing a more direct, high-speed route to the freeway and to Minneapolis. Both city and county staff prefer County Road 25 as a commuter route, as the 4-lane divided, high-speed roadway is intended to be a faster and safer route for this type of traffic. The current traffic volume on County Road 25 is approximately 21,600 vehicles per day, significantly less than its capacity of more than 30,000 vehicles per day. Shifting 10-20% of pass-thru traffic (1,500 to 3,000 vehicles) from Minnetonka Boulevard to County Road 25 will not create safety or congestion issues. 3. Moving traffic signal to Joppa Avenue and restriction turns at Inglewood Avenue Several times, during the public process the project team heard feedback regarding the importance of improving safety for pedestrians and vehicles at the Joppa Avenue intersection. At the public hearing, comments and concerns were shared related to the associated impacts of re-routing the traffic that uses Inglewood Avenue to Joppa Avenue in the future. The project team also heard similar concerns in conversations with Torah Academy and other faith-based institutions in the area, particularly as it relates to pedestrians walking along Joppa Avenue and unwanted exposure to their facilities in the area. Given these diverse needs, as a part of final plan development, the project team will investigate options that will address these concerns while honoring the earlier feedback. A potential option could be removing the turning restrictions at Inglewood Avenue. This will be evaluated for feasibility. Once an option(s) is/are studied and evaluated, it/they will be shared with residents and religious leaders in the area to gain feedback. If there are recommended modifications, they will be included in the final plans when they are brought to council in 2023. The preferred alternative, as currently presented to council, includes moving the traffic signal from Inglewood Avenue to Joppa Avenue and adding a median that restricts left turns at Inglewood Avenue. This was proposed for the following reasons: • To provide a safe pedestrian crossing. This location is preferred for protected crossings, as pedestrian usage is more balanced on all four legs when compared to Inglewood Avenue. A signal will stop traffic to allow for these crossings to occur safely. • To improve traffic safety. The intersection of Joppa Avenue and Minnetonka Boulevard has a critical crash index that is five times the state average. A traffic signal will reduce crashes. • To prevent queuing traffic from blocking the intersection to the new city street. A signal at Inglewood Avenue would create backups that would block access for vehicles turning onto the new city street; this would create access concerns for the businesses between Inglewood and Glenhurst avenues. Moving the signal west to Joppa Avenue will create more space for queuing. The project team understands that this location has challenges unique to the neighborhood and overall network connectivity. Joppa Avenue only extends two blocks north and does not City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 6 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 provide a continuous connection to the neighborhood to the north and the Cedar Lake area. Whereas Inglewood Avenue provides a continuous connection from Minnetonka Boulevard all the way up to 26th Street. The current traffic volume on Joppa Avenue is approximately 1,250 vehicles per day, while Inglewood Avenue is approximately 1,850 vehicles. The proposed design allows eastbound left turns at Joppa Avenue and restricts them at Inglewood Avenue, which will likely increase traffic volume on Joppa Avenue. 4. Restricting movements at the Minnetonka Boulevard/Salem Avenue intersection The project team has heard feedback from numerous people during engagement about traffic in the neighborhoods north of Minnetonka Boulevard. The current design does not restrict turning movements at the Salem Avenue intersection, though previous iterations introduced a concrete median to restrict left turns with the intent of increasing safety at this offset intersection and reducing cut-thru traffic in the neighborhood. Feedback from St. George's Church and other residents about the concrete median was not positive, as restricting movements would increase traffic on Raleigh Avenue and other streets to the east and negatively impact direct access for those on Salem Avenue. To address these concerns, the median was removed in the preferred alternative, and a plan to realign the north and south legs of Salem Avenue will be implemented to improve intersection safety. 5. Can you restrict left-hand turns on Salem Avenue from Minnetonka Boulevard from 7-9 a.m. Monday – Friday? Restricting left-hand turns onto Salem Avenue will likely shift the left-hand turners from Salem Avenue to Raleigh Avenue and other streets to the east. This is not recommended. Although it may decrease traffic on Salem Avenue – it creates additional issues on nearby streets. 6. The preferred alternative puts the roadway too close to adjacent properties The existing road is typically 6 feet or less from the right of way on both sides. The preferred alternative provides a balanced setback from properties on the north side of Minnetonka Boulevard and properties on the south side (15 ft. from the right of way on both sides). The option with a cycle track on one side of the road increased the setback on the north side to 19 ft. but decreased the setback on the south side to 11 ft. Although the cycle track option provided more distance from residents on the north side of the road – it brought the road closer to the residents on the south side. The project team, along with feedback during the public engagement, suggested that the balanced setback coupled with the opportunity for green boulevards on both sides of Minnetonka Boulevard was one of the comparative benefits for the preferred alternative as compared to the cycle track option. 7. The entrance to City Hall is on the south side of the building. Why do you need a crosswalk with a pedestrian flasher at Quentin Avenue? City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 7 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 Crossing the existing 4-lane Minnetonka Boulevard as a pedestrian can be difficult. During the public engagement process, the project team heard that safer crossings of Minnetonka Boulevard for users walking or rolling should be a priority. The Quentin Avenue location meets the best practice of providing an enhanced crosswalk every quarter mile, similar to the distance between the traffic signals at Highway 100 and Ottawa Avenue. The proposed 3-lane section is also an opportunity to provide a median refuge in the center of the street, further increasing the safety of users. 8. There are existing stormwater issues at the intersection of Joppa Avenue and Sunset Boulevard. What will be done to address stormwater on Minnetonka Boulevard so that our intersection is not flooded? The project team is aware of drainage issues along the corridor and is planning to address them with this project. Existing Minnetonka Boulevard lacks adequate facilities to capture stormwater before it runs down side streets. The proposed improvements will include catch basins and storm sewer lines to reduce the amount of drainage leaving the county road. Stormwater treatment facilities are a project priority and are planned for the corridor. Stormwater basins are planned for in the large green space areas in the reconfigured area of Minnetonka Boulevard and County Road 25. The final design will also incorporate stormwater treatment in the new boulevard areas that will be included in the corridor, with the goal of treating more stormwater than required. The goal of the county and the city is to build a sustainable corridor with green space and stormwater treatment. 9. Concerns about electric bicycles or scooters using the shared-use trail. The city does not prohibit the use of electric bicycles or scooters on our trail system. This is consistent with state statutes that allow e-bikes (electric-assist or pedal-assist bicycles) on the state trail system and adjacent cities and park districts that currently allow their use wherever traditional bicycles are allowed. Users of these vehicles must follow the same traffic laws as bicyclists, yielding to pedestrians when on a shared-use trail. Staff isn't currently aware of safety issues with e-bikes in St. Louis Park and will monitor this as their use grows in popularity. 10. Modifications to the Ottawa Avenue/ Minnetonka Boulevard intersection In 2021, the south leg of the Ottawa Avenue/ Minnetonka Boulevard intersection was reconfigured as a part of the city's Ottawa Avenue trail construction. Concern was shared regarding how tight that project made the turning movements to and from the south leg of the Ottawa Avenue/ Minnetonka Boulevard intersection. The preferred alternative widens out the intersection, making this movement easier. Financial or budget considerations City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 8 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 The total cost estimate for the project is $8,610,000.

Sir, Please don’t “fix” what isn’t broken. Minnetonka Boulevard between France and Highway 100 is a vital connector. It doesn’t need fixing. I’m agnostic about tweaks, as probably everything can be improved in some way. Reducing this section to one lane will not be an overall improvement; it will just make getting around more time consuming and stressful. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Shamala: I am a resident of St. Louis Park and provide these comments pursuant to your invitation ahead of the November 21, 2022 public hearing regarding the Hennepin County Minnetonka Boulevard Reconstruction Project. Main Concern: No left turn Lane on Minnetonka to Salem; Request left turn lane Additional Concern: Left turn lane would encourage more Benilde traffic which is substantial. We request a morning 7-9 a.m., M-F restriction on left turns from Minnetonka onto Salem and Raleigh. Morning Benilde traffic should be directed to the light at Ottowa. I live on Salem Ave between Minnetonka Boulevard and 26th Streets. Salem is used by Benilde St. Margaret traffic twice a day by school students. The traffic increased substantially when Toledo was closed off in the last street improvements project for the bridge improvement project over Highway 100. Closing Toledo as a left hand option from Minnetonka was a real improvement for that street. Unfortunately, it increased traffic on Salem. The drivers come down Salem at high speeds twice a day and often do not stop at the stop signs. Enforcement by police over the last 17 year I’ve lived here occurred exactly once. The city will not install speed bumps along Salem to discourage the speeds when students pass through from Minnetonka to the school. Every year is the same routine of neighbors complaining to the school and begging them to tell students to slow down and respect the neighborhood. City council meeting of December 5, 2022 (Item No. 8a) Page 11 Title: Approve preliminary layout – Hennepin County Minnetonka Blvd. reconstruction project (4023-7000) Ward 1 It is our great hope that the Minnetonka Boulevard Reconstruction Project will bring meaningful change to the traffic pattern of school access from Minnetonka through the residential streets of Salem and Raleigh. I make regular left hand turns from Minnetonka onto Salem to reach my home. I have always been apprehensive of this stop in the left hand land with traffic coming off the bridge behind me. Thankfully I have never been rear ended nor have I seen accidents there for people trying to make that left. A left hand turn lane would be ideal, as long as there could also be a restriction on taking left hand turns between 7-9 a.m. Monday through Friday. I think that would take care of a lot of the problem. We could live with the afternoon traffic as they take a right on Minnetonka from Salem so it is not as time consuming or treacherous. Thank you for considering of these comments. Valerie Sims and John Arrell 2822 Salem Ave St. Louis Park, MN Phone: 612-730-9170 Hi, I'm unable to attend the town hall tonight but wanted to share my feedback. Myself and my family of six lives just off Minnetonka Blvd near fern hill park. I love the proposed redesign with two lanes and a turn lane and trees on each side. This will drastically improve our safety and the beauty of our neighborhood. As the light rail comes in foot traffic will only increase and this road must be made to be pedestrian friendly. Currently it's a nightmare in that respect. I don't know anyone who feels safe bringing children across the current "crosswalks", if you can call the that. Redirected westbound traffic to 7 and strengthening pedestrian facilities and green space on Minnetonka is a must. Thank you for all of your work on this, the design is coming together incredibly well.
