Background: Each year, the St. Louis Park Human Rights Commission coordinates an award to honor individuals and organizations that contribute to increasing understanding and cooperation between people of different backgrounds. Award recipients are recognized as leaders who support our vision of creating a community in which diversity is a natural part of everyday life. Two recipients were chosen for 2002, an individual contributing in his workplace and a youth program. Nominations are made by community members and the winners are selected by the Human Rights Commission. The current commissioners are: Matthew Armbrecht, Students Cassandra Boddy and Colleen Clark, Kristen Edsall, Annie Gaffney, Julie Kirsch, David Oguamanam, Ganesh Rameshrathinam, Patrick Rogers, Kristi Rudelius-Palmer and Chairperson Kristin Siegesmund. 2002 Award Recipients: Stephen Olson Stephen Olson, manager of leadership development at Park Nicollet Health Services, was honored for his efforts to bring additional diversity training and education to Park Nicollet staff. Since Olson initiated a needs assessment two years ago, he has facilitated a number of training sessions that have enhanced patient care and enriched employee morale. He also has created an internal diversity web site for all Park Nicollet employees. Among Olson’s efforts was a learning day for nursing staff aimed at broadening perspectives and fostering understanding of diversity issues related to inpatient care. Olson also coordinated the development of two new classes for Park Nicollet employees: “Meeting and Greeting Across Cultures” and “Providing Culturally Competent Care.” The classes gave employees resources to effectively communicate with various cultures at the individual, family and community level. He has also incorporated diversity curriculum into Park Nicollet’s New Leader Orientation which trains future supervisors, managers and administrators. Yes Kids Yes Kids was honored for making a difference in kids’ lives by offering programs with “heart and soul” to youth ages 10 through 17. Located at 7600 Highway 7, Yes Kids broadens experiences, builds cultural understanding and acceptance, and provides a welcoming atmosphere where kids can make new friends and connect with adult mentors.

Staff present: City Manager (Mr. Meyer), Community Development Director (Mr. Harmening), Housing Supervisor (Ms. Schnitker), and City Clerk (Ms. Reichert). 1. Project for Pride in Living Board Representative The Louisiana Court Redevelopment Contract allows for the City to have representation on Project for Pride in Living’s (PPL) Limited Partnership Board of Directors. The purpose of this representation is to ensure that the City’s and Housing Authority’s input and concerns are addressed on an ongoing basis. The City has discretion to select representation and may consider delegating representation to the HA Board. Ron Latz has been serving as the City’s representative and with his departure, Council met to discuss and select a new representative Following brief discussion, Council agreed that Sally Velick, Councilmember Ward 4, would best represent the City on the PPL Board. Staff will place a resolution appointing councilmember Velick on the next regular meeting agenda. 2. Housing Staff and council met to discuss the planned series of joint meetings between the City Council, Planning Commission, Housing Authority, School Board and business representatives to discuss the status of housing in St. Louis Park. Council reviewed a summary of the proposed approach for the initiative and an agenda for the initial meeting of all participants. Councilmember Nelson asked that as the process is conveyed to participants and interested public, that staff and councilmembers be cognizant of how that presentation is made. Councilmember Sanger suggested that a component be added regarding the vision housing goals and if those goals are still valid. She also asked that information regarding transitional housing be included. Mr. Meyer asked Council to consider how expectations of attendees can be managed and how individuals that may come to the table with single-issue goals can be engaged in a broad discussion of housing in our community. Mr. Harmening pointed out that when presenting to potential participants, it was made clear that this is a City Council driven process and that the council was the decision making body. He stated that he hopes this process gives all involved a good understanding of where are are today in terms of the kinds of housing available to city residents. Councilmember Velick asked that we discuss preservation of existing housing stock. Mr. Harmening responded that the issue would be discussed for both single family and multi family housing. Mr. Harmening also asked for Council’s assistance in staying on task during the initial meeting which is intended to be an educational session more than an open discussion. 3. Public Purpose Expenditures Mr. Meyer introduced the issue stating that in July of 2002, the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) issued a report questioning various spending practices of the City of Brooklyn Park. Due to the questions that were raised in Brooklyn Park, staff felt it would be in our best interest to review our practices and develop a policy regarding public purpose expenditures. Following discussion council directed staff to bring the policy forward for adoption at the next regular meeting. 4. Adjournment The meeting concluded at 8:45 p.m. City Clerk Mayor St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4a - Salem-Toledo Alley One wayTraffic Restrictions Page 1 of 2 4a. Traffic Study No. 573: Motion to adopt the attached resolution authorizing installation of “One-Way” signage and “Do Not Enter” signage on the “T” portion of the alley in the 2900 block of Salem/Toledo Avenue South to provide for travel in the east-bound direction only Background: In the fall of 2002 the City received a petition for constructing a concrete alley in the 2900 block of Salem/Toledo Avenue South. The alley petition was determined to be adequate at the Council’s August 19, 2002 meeting. The City Engineer’s Report for the alley construction will be brought before the Council at a future meeting. During the two neighborhood meetings that were held, residents and the St. George's Episcopal Church requested the “T” portion of the alley be made a “one-way” in the east-bound direction. Residents and the church feel there is a significant amount of cut-thru traffic, during peak hours, as people avoid the traffic signal at Toledo and Minnetonka Boulevard to access Trunk Highway 100, north-bound. People also tend to increase speed in the alley and residents feel this would stop both the cut-thru traffic and reduce speeds. Staff has reviewed this request and supports the installation of traffic signage to make the “T” portion of the alley “one-way” in the east-bound direction. During the neighborhood meetings it was suggested that a trial period of six (6) months to one (1) year be implemented. Residents supported that idea with the understanding that should the one-way prove to be unworkable, the residents could request its removal. Staff recommends the “T” portion of the alley in the 2900 block of Salem/Toledo Avenues be designated a one-way east-bound for a period of one (1) year at which time staff will revisit the issue with residents to verify its continuation. Recommendation: Staff has identified the following options available to the Council at this time: * 1. Approve the request. If so, the attached resolution authorizing the installation of one-way signage regulations may be utilized. 2. Deny the request. 3. Ask for additional information/study on the request. * Staff’s recommendation action. Attachments: Map (Supplement) Resolution Prepared by: Carton B.

Motion to adopt a resolution authorizing installation and special assessment of a fire sprinkler system at 3387 Brownlow Avenue and directing the Mayor and City Manager to execute a special assessment agreement with the property owner. Background: Eleanor C. Speltz, owner of the commercial building at 3387 Brownlow Avenue has requested that the City authorize the installation of an automatic fire suppression sprinkler system for the building and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the City’s special assessment policy. Analysis: The special assessment policy for installation of automatic fire sprinkler systems in existing buildings was adopted by the City Council in 1995. The City promotes the installation of fire suppression sprinkler systems and facilitates their installation to promote the general public health, safety and welfare within the community. The Building Code requires the installation of a fire sprinkler system in this building because of major remodeling project in the building.. The property owner will be hiring a contractor to install the sprinkler system throughout the building and bring it up to compliance with the current code. Based on the proposed work the system qualifies for the City’s special assessment program. The property owner has petitioned to the City to authorize the installation of the fire sprinkler system and specially assess the cost of the installation. Sprinkler plans have been submitted and approved by City staff. The total eligible cost of the installation has been determined to be $28,412. An Administrative Fee of $150.00 will be added to the special assessment. Staff has determined the adequate funds are available through the Special Assessment Construction Fund.

Attest: Adopted by the City Council February 3, 2003 City Clerk Mayor Reviewed for Administration: City Manager St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4c - Public Purpose Expenditures Page 1 of 6 4c. Motion to approve resolution adopting City Policy for Public Purpose Expenditures Background: Council and staff have evaluated the validity of various city expenditures in terms of whether there is a public purpose for the expenditure; and whether there is specific or implied authority for the expenditure found in statute or charter. Public purpose The MN Supreme Court has emphasized that public purpose is an evolving concept that should be interpreted liberally to effectively deal with the wide-ranging changes transforming society. The court also stated “We have also recognized that public purpose should be broadly construed to comport with the changing conditions of modern life.” R.E. Short Co. v. City of Minneapolis. 269 N.W.2d at 337 (citing City of Pipestone v. Madsen, 287 Minn. 155, 210 N. W. 2d 298 (1973)). It is significant that the court has accorded great deference to a local governing body’s determination that an expenditure is for a public purpose. The Court has said that a strong presumption exists that public officials are acting appropriately when making spending decisions. Therefore, what constitutes a public purpose is largely a matter of city council discretion. City authority With regard to the “authority test,” a Minnesota municipal corporation has only such powers as are expressly conferred upon it by statute or its charter, or necessarily implied there from. In St. Louis Park, Section 1.02 of the City Charter provides that the City “Shall have and exercise all powers, functions, rights and privileges exercised by, or which are incidental to or inherent in, municipal corporations and are not denied to it by the constitution or general laws of the State of Minnesota.” Public Purpose Expenditure Policy: Following review of public purpose and city authority, a public purpose expenditure policy was developed for City Council adoption. The attached policy authorizes expenditures relating to the use of funds for meetings; membership and dues; employee service recognition; employee retirement recognition; and the annual employee recognition meal, program and lunch Attachment: Resolution and Policy (Appendix A to resolution) Prepared by: Nancy Gohman, Human Resources Director Approved by: Charles W. Meyer, City Manager St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4c - Public Purpose Expenditures Page 2 of 6 RESOLUTION NO. 03-______ RESOLUTION ADDING PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE POLICY TO THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK PERSONNEL MANUAL WHEREAS, The City Council wishes to adopt policies which ensure adequate compensation, leave and benefits for city employees and which protect the ethical standards of the City of St. Louis Park; and WHEREAS, The City Council has conferred upon the City Manager the power to establish and administer additional administrative policies and rules as may be appropriate to administer the employment practices of the City. NOW THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT, The City Council of the City of St. Louis Park hereby adopts the Public Purpose Expenditure Policy (attached as Exhibit A) to be added to the personnel manual. Reviewed for Administration: Adopted by the City Council December 2, 2002 City Manager Mayor Attest: City Clerk St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4c - Public Purpose Expenditures Page 3 of 6 APPENDIX A RESOLUTION NO. 03-_________ CITY OF ST LOUIS PARK PUBLIC PURPOSE EXPENDITURE POLICY Every City of St. Louis Park expenditure must be valid based upon the public purpose for which it is purchased and the specific or implied authority for the expenditure found in the City Charter or State Law. Section 1.02 of the City Charter provides that the City “Shall have and exercise all powers, functions, rights and privileges exercised by, or which are incidental to or inherent in, municipal corporations and are not denied to it by the constitution or general laws of the State of Minnesota.” Minnesota Statutes § 412.111 provides that the City Council may fix the compensation of all officers and employees. The City Council has determined that the expenditures below are for a public purpose authorized by law or charter. Meetings: food/meals The City Council recognizes that situations in which city business needs to be discussed can and do occur during meal hours (i.e. luncheon meetings). In addition, there are public and employee meetings and events in which reasonable refreshments may add to the success of the meeting and/or event or create a more productive work force. Meals are allowed at training or meetings only when they are part of a meeting or training involving official city business and when it is the only practical time to meet. The following items are deemed to meet the Council definition of public purpose expenditures in regards to food and meals. • Meals and refreshments are allowed at city meetings and events that have a purpose of discussing city issues. These meetings would normally have a pre-planned agenda. • Meals and refreshments are allowed at employee meetings and events that have a purpose of discussing city issues or are a part of an employee training. These meetings would also normally have a pre-planned agenda. This does not include routine staff meetings. • Meals and refreshments are allowed when they are part of a breakfast/lunch/dinner meeting for official city business when it is the only practical time to meet. Usually these meals involve meeting with Councilmembers, committee/commission members, or local business/service organizations. • Meals and refreshments are allowed during official meetings of the City Council, Council committees, advisory boards/commissions, and taskforces. • Expense reimbursement for travel expenses for employees are outlined in the personnel policy, as approved by Council resolution 01-078. • Coffee is provided by the city for employees at city buildings. St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4c - Public Purpose Expenditures Page 4 of 6 • Refreshments are allowed at welcome break, open to staff several times per year, to allow employees time to network and meet new staff members. • CITE (the Committee to Inform and Train Employees) is recognized as the employee committee, which is responsible for organizing and sponsoring various city employee training and networking activities. CITE expenditures are for food, refreshments and various expenses which encourages employees to work together to serve the city. CITE must obtain pre-approval from Human Resources to expend up to $1,500 per calendar year for planned employee activities. CITE funds must be approved and part of the general fund. • Meals and refreshments are allowed at the annual City Volunteer recognition event. • Meals and refreshments are allowed for the annual seasonal/temporary employee recognition lunch. • The City will not purchase or reimburse any Employee, Councilmember or Agent for the purchase of intoxicating liquor or malt beverages. Membership and Dues The City Council has determined that the city will fund memberships and dues for the City, Councilmembers and its employees in professional organizations and city social and community organizations when the purpose is to promote, advertise, improve, or develop the city’s resources and advantages and not personal interest or gain. Membership in the Local Chamber of Commerce The Mission of the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce is, in part, to improve the business environment and build a better community. Toward that end, the St. Louis Park Business Council was formed as a forum for local businesses and government to work together to ensure that business opportunitites in St. Louis Park are diverse and progressive, and that laws, rules and procedures enacted by local government are conducive to business operations in the City. Section 1.02 of the City Charter grants the City “power to deal with all matters of municipal concern” and the City Council has determined that it serves a public purpose for the City of St. Louis Park to maintain membership in the Twinwest Chamber of Commerce and to participate as an equal partner in the St. Louis Park Business Council as a means of promoting, advertising, improving, and developing the economic resources of the City. Employee Service Recognition Program As approved by Council Resolution 00-055, effective January 1, 2000 the City of St. Louis Park will recognize the longevity of its employees by presenting awards for years of service. The Employee Service Recognition Program will recognize all benefit earning regular and part-time employees who work 20 or more hours a week, year round for the City of St. Louis Park. Awards will be presented to employees on the date of their employment anniversary by the City Manager and the department director.

Motion to adopt a resolution approving the minor amendment to the continued Special Permit requested by Village Green to allow changes to the approved building elevations. Background: On November 16, 1970, the St. Louis Park City Council adopted Resolution # 4091 granting approval of a special permit to develop a 4 story, 186-unit apartment building at 301 Shelard Parkway. On November 2, 1981, the City Council passed Resolution #7002 granting an amendment to the Special permit allowing an expansion to the westerly parking lot. This parking lot expansion was not constructed. On October 7, 2002, the City Council approved another minor amendment to revise the landscape plan as part of a remodeling project for the apartment complex. Other projects currently underway include interior renovations, and repainting and repairs to the building exterior. These changes required administrative approval only. Village Green, who recently acquired this apartment complex, is now requesting another amendment to modify the building elevations. They are proposing to add bronze colored metal sunscreens to the façade of the building. The proposed resolution (attached) is for a minor amendment to the existing special permit to incorporate the proposed building elevation additions. Analysis: Does the proposal meet the Zoning Code requirements for amending a Special Permit? Section 36-36 of the Zoning Code states that properties subject to a continued special permit must comply with all provisions of that special permit. Assuming such compliance, the property may be expanded, altered or modified provided such change complies with applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and does not result in an expansion or intensification of any existing non- conformity. Any existing non-conformity shall be brought to greater or complete compliance to other provisions of the ordinance to the extent reasonable and possible. Finally, according to Section 36-405, routine maintenance and nonstructural repairs and alterations are permitted on non-conforming structures provided such repairs do not extend the economic life of the structure. As stated, the applicant recently acquired this property and is working on renovations. Building permits were obtained in the fall of 2002 for interior remodeling and for repairs to the exterior siding. The existing exterior siding consists of T-11 panels. T-11 panels are textured sheets of plywood that have vertical grooves. The exterior hard siding is painted. This was approved under the original special permit, however by today’s ordinance standards is non-conforming. Routine maintenance and nonstructural repairs are permitted on non-conforming structures; Village Park Apartments February 3, 2003 Page 2 therefore, a building permit was approved. The applicant has also proposed to repaint the exterior with neutral brown tones. Paint samples were submitted and approved by the Zoning Administrator as complying with the ordinance’s architectural standards. The applicant is now proposing to add medium bronze colored metal sunscreens (see attachment for rendering) to the façade of the building. Their intent is to tie the exterior repairs and new color schemes together and add aesthetic interest. Fifteen (15) sunscreens are proposed along the north and east elevations (see site plan for locations) and would be placed over existing windows. An additional sunscreen canopy is proposed over the main entrance to the amenity building on the southeast elevation facing the parking lot. The applicant is also proposing medium bronze brushed aluminum covers over the existing glass block windows at the ‘clubhouse’. These covers would also be on the southeast elevation. This location is designated with hashed lines on the interior portion of the building on the site plan. At night these covers will appear back lit. Since acquiring this property, Village Green has worked with staff on renovations to the property. This has brought the site into greater compliance with current ordinance standards. Their recent amendment to the landscape plan is one such example. A lighting plan and sign permit were also recently approved which brought the site lighting and signage into conformance with the City’s ordinances. Staff believes the proposed sunscreens will provide design elements that add definition and create variations that are compatible with the existing elevations. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the minor amendment to the existing Special Permit, subject to the conditions in the resolution. (The amendments to the original resolution are underlined.)

Old Business 5A Time Warner Customer Service Update St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4h -Telecommunications Minutes of 120502 Page 2 of 4 Time Warner Cable Customer Service Manager LuAnna Fogarty provided a customer service update. Ms. Fogarty said Time Warner has implemented a program called Quality Approach, which includes a mystery caller segment and customer service representative training. Customer service representatives are divided into three groups: sales, billing, and technical calls. Ms. Fogarty reported that there are two individuals on the quality assurance team who provide coaching to the customer service representatives. Recent revisions to billing statements make them easier to read. 5B Update: Auditing Time Warner Cable Franchise Fees Reg Dunlap reported that Scott Lewis’s report will be completed by the end of 2002. Mr. Dunlap said most of the 1,000 addresses absent from Time Warner’s list but present on the City’s address list have been identified as commercial, school or railroad addresses that are irrelevant for cable service purposes. 5C Update: Channel 6 Deletion for Security Camera Use Lance Leupold, Time Warner Cable Director of Public Affairs, briefly reviewed the channel 6 issue, i.e., the elimination of channel 6 in exchange for security camera use in several St. Louis Park apartment buildings. Mr. Leupold said Time Warner’s attorney will contact the City’s attorney. John McHugh said staff requested a written legal opinion from the City attorney. Mr. McHugh read a portion of attorney Joel Jamnik’s e-mail response dated December 3, 2002: Earlier last week I received a phone call from Gary Matz (legal counsel for AOL/TW) regarding our concerns about the use of Channel 6 by some of the City’s multiple dwelling units for security camera coverage. He quite subtly explored whether we would consider looking the other way on their existing customers. I indicated that while this probably isn’t the biggest concern or issue facing the City, that the statute doesn’t provide us much flexibility, and that we would continue to encourage them to get into compliance. I basically told him that I couldn’t recommend that we ignore the law. While that wasn’t what he was looking for, I think he was somewhat satisfied that I was not going to recommend that we declare a default/material breech of the franchise agreement and seek to seize their letter of credit. Mr. McHugh said when he received the City attorney’s opinion, he sent a letter to Time Warner asking that prior to tonight’s Telecommunications Commission meeting, Time Warner submit a written legal opinion to explain how they think their activities in regard to this matter are in compliance with State law. St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4h -Telecommunications Minutes of 120502 Page 3 of 4 Mr. McHugh suggested Time Warner submit, within 30 days, a 90-day plan to cure this situation at no cost to St. Louis Park subscribers or submit a written, binding opinion that no such breech exists and the matter would then be referred to the City Council. It was requested by Commissioner Dworsky that Time Warner Cable submit a written proposal to John McHugh by January 10, 2003 to solve the channel 6 controversy, and Mr. McHugh will send the proposal to the City Attorney. 5D Update: AOL Time Warner Restructuring Mr. Dunlap reported the City Council approved a resolution regarding the AOL Time Warner restructuring. 5E Bylaws Amendments It was moved by Commissioner Jacobson, seconded by Commissioner Browning, to accept the bylaws as presented with the City Attorney’s change. The motion passed 7-0. The City Attorney’s recommendation is to delete the entire sentence regarding secret ballots, i.e., delete Election may be held by secret ballot (see Article IV, Section 3, Election of Officers). 5F FCC Forms 1205 and 1240 and Hiring Consultant to Review Mr. Dunlap reported rental for converter boxes has increased $1, to $6.65 per month. In their packets, Commissioners received an informational sheet regarding this item. It was moved by Commissioner Jacobson, seconded by Commissioner Browning, to have staff gather information on rates in other cities and report back to the Commission by October 1, 2003. The motion passed 7-0. 5G Staff Draft Grant Proposal This item was deferred to the next meeting. 6. New Business 6A Time Warner Cable New Rates and Changes in Channel Line-ups Mr. Dunlap reported that Disney will be available on the standard tier and distributed a summary of changes that will be adapted into a Council report.

Case No. 02-50-VAR - The request of Benjamin Rost for variances from the requirements of Section 36-164(f)(5) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to allow a 3.4 foot side yard setback instead of the required 5 feet and a 4 foot side yard setback instead of the required 5 5/8 feet for a garage addition and living space more than 40 feet in length for the property located in the “R-2” Single Family Residential District at 3206 Alabama Avenue South. Ms. Jeremiah stated to the Commissioners that Mr. Rost has submitted a letter of withdrawal. She recommends closing the public hearing and a motion accepting the letter of withdrawal. Motion by Commissioner Bloyer, seconded by Commissioner Powers, that the variance be withdrawn. Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Gainsley, Bloyer and Powers. Voting No: None. 4. PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMITTEE BUSINESS B. Case No. 02-57-VAR - Request of Charles and Janis Chell for variance from the requirements of Section 36-164(f)(6) of the Ordinance Code relating to zoning to permit a front yard setback of 25.5 feet instead of the required 32.26 feet for property located in the R-2 Single Family Residential District at 3305 Glenhurst Avenue South. Mr. Morrison presented the report and concluded that all seven findings have been met and recommends that the Board of Zoning Appeals approve the applicant’s request for a variance to permit a front setback of 25.5 feet instead of the required 32.26 feet for a front porch for the property of 3305 Glenhurst Avenue South. Commissioner Bloyer asked staff what the average size home in the R-2 Single Family District? Ms. Jeremiah stated that an exact calculation hasn’t been performed at this time and since there have been many additions over time it would be a fairly onerous task to put together. However, information that was recently reviewed on realtor sales shows that the average home for sale in St. Louis Park is more than the size of this applicant’s home. Commissioner Bloyer asked staff if the sizes of each room are known. Ms. Jeremiah stated that the applicant hadn’t submitted a detailed floor plan, but that maybe the applicants could answer that. St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 4i - BOZA Minutes of Oct. 24, 2002 Page 3 of 4 Board of Zoning Appeals/October 24, 2002 Page 3 of 4 With no more questions, Chair Gainsley opened the public hearing. Charles and Janis Chell applicant of 3305 Glenhurst Avenue, stated that his home is square shaped and is 747 square feet total, so the estimated size of the living room is 10 x 14 feet along with each of the two-bedrooms estimated at 10 x 10 feet the home also includes a single bath and a kitchen. The living room-main home entrance doesn’t contain a closet which is difficult but with the three season porch that would elevate that problem along with giving more space for family entertaining. Also, a letter of support has been received from several neighbors. Chair Gainsley stated he would like the Commissioners to review the letter of neighboring support and add to staff’s file as exhibit A. Commissioner Powers asked Mr. Chell if an addition could be constructed on the rear of the home and if so what existing living space would be affected? Mr. Chell stated a bedroom and a newly remodeled kitchen. Commissioner Bloyer asked Mr. Chell the size of his existing kitchen. Mr. Chell stated the newly remodeled kitchen is estimated at 10 x 10 feet. Ms. Chell stated that if they were to add onto the rear of the house that would not assist them with the closet that is needed for the front entryway, which presently is a significant problem. With no more questions, Chair Gainsley closed the public hearing. Commissioner Powers stated he agrees with staff’s findings but would like to point out that a comprehensive study of the city-zoning ordinance is especially needed for move-up housing. Commissioner Bloyer stated she is in support of granting this variance. Chair Gainsley stated the variance is justifiable but does question the idea of averaging requirements of the zoning ordinance that it is still within the intent of the ordinance, but that may be only finding that may not be met. Motion by Commissioner Powers, seconded by Commissioner Bloyer, that the variance granted approve the applicant’s request for a variance to permit a front setback of 25.5 feet instead of the required 32.26 feet for a front porch for the property located in the R-2 Single Family Residential District of 3305 Glenhurst Avenue South.

Communications: Chair Gainsley stated he would like to change the meeting time for the training session to 5:30 p.m. instead of the scheduled 6:00 p.m. due to several applications being received for the December Board of Zoning Appeals agenda which may not allow the training session and adequate amount of time. 8. Miscellaneous: None 9. Adjournment: Commissioner Bloyer moved and Commissioner Powers seconded the motion for adjournment. The regular meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals adjourned at 7:26 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Tara Olson Community Development Secretary St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 8a - Park Nicollet Traffic Environ Studies Page 1 of 2 8a. Traffic and Environmental Studies – Park Nicollet Clinic Campus Expansion Recommended Action: Staff recommends the City Council approve the following two motions: § Authorize preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet relating to the proposed expansion of the Park Nicollet Clinic campus § Authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute a contract with SRF Consulting Group Inc. for purposes of undertaking preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet and necessary traffic and parking analysis for the proposed Park Nicollet Clinic campus expansion initiative with the understanding that Park Nicollet Health Services will reimburse the City for a portion of the costs associated with these activities. Background: Last November the City Council authorized execution of a contract with SRF for the purpose of preparing an environmental, traffic and parking analysis of a proposed expansion to the Methodist Hospital campus. Although the City is the client of SRF, Park Nicollet Health Services (PNHS) is paying the City for the cost of the studies, which is approximately $103,000. SRF was recommended as the consultant due to their previous work in the Excelsior Boulevard area, the Elmwood Study as well as PNHS’s past experience with them. For these same reasons, SRF is proposed to be the consultant for the Clinic campus analysis. At the time staff presented the Methodist studies to the City Council, staff indicated that a similar proposal would be brought to the City Council in the near future, relative to the Park Nicollet Clinic campus expansion. Since November, City and PNHS staff have been working on the necessary scope of work for the environmental and traffic analysis for the clinic campus. In addition, City, SRF and PNHS staff met with neighborhood leaders adjacent to the Park Nicollet Clinic campus to receive their input on concerns or issues they desired to have addressed in the studies. These comments and concerns have been incorporated into the scopes of work that are attached. As Park Nicollet, the City and SRF began developing the scopes of work, it became evident that certain pieces of the analyses were not entirely the financial responsibility of PNHS. Examples of this include certain intersection analysis requested by the neighborhoods, certain cut-through traffic analysis, a feasibility analysis of a proposed new bridge over Highway 100 at the Wooddale extension [as recommended by the Elmwood study] and other similar feasibility analyses which have a relationship to the larger area. As such, City staff asked SRF to provide a memorandum outlining their recommendations for a proposed cost split between the City and PNHS. Attached is a copy of this memorandum. What follows is a summary of the costs of the various analyses and their proposed cost apportionment: St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 8a - Park Nicollet Traffic Environ Studies Page 2 of 2 • Environmental Assessment Worksheet preparation – $63,174. Park Nicollet would be responsible for 100% of this cost. • Traffic, parking and concept design analysis – $178,897. Park Nicollet’s share would be $115,481; the City’s share would be $63,416. City staff has reviewed this closely with PNHS staff. PNHS has agreed to the recommended cost apportionment. The proposed funding source for the City’s share of this study is proceeds from the HRA levy which the City has undertaken in 2002 and 2003. At the time the City approved the HRA levy, it was noted that this revenue was to be used for current or future infrastructure improvements related to redevelopment projects. Staff feels that the activities being done under the traffic study are directly related to the planning and design for future infrastructure improvements in an area that is redeveloping [Elmwood area, Park Commons, etc.] Recommendation: Staff is recommending that the City enter into a contract with SRF Consulting to undertake the preparation of the EAW and the traffic and parking analysis with the understanding that Park Nicollet Health Services will reimburse the City for a portion of the costs associated with these activities. Attachments: § Draft Contract and Scope of Work (Supplement) Prepared By: Tom Harmening, Community Development Director Approved By: Charles W. Meyer, City Manager St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 8b - Hennepin County HRA Levy Page 1 of 4 8b. Request by Hennepin County for support of legislative initiative regarding County HRA levy authority Recommended Action: Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution supporting special legislation proposed by the Hennepin County which would amend state statute to not require approval by the City of St. Louis Park for the implementation of a Hennepin County HRA levy in St. Louis Park. Background: The Hennepin County HRA has the authority to levy a special tax to address housing and community development needs in the County, just as the City has the authority to do so in St. Louis Park. Cities within the County must approve Hennepin County HRA programs and projects that might occur in a given city. Currently, the law also requires that certain cities—St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, Hopkins, and Robbinsdale—approve the ability for the Hennepin County HRA to levy a special tax in their respective city. Under current statute, if this approval were given, the County levy would automatically reduce any local levy for HRA act purposes. This requirement is not applicable to the 43 other cities in Hennepin County. Currently, 28 of the 47 cities in Hennepin County have formed local HRAs. Attached is detailed background information prepared by the County on this matter. Apparently, at the time Hennepin County requested authorization by the state to enact an HRA levy (early 1970’s), only the four cities noted above had active HRAs. Thus, the statute was specifically written to require that these four cities approve any enactment of a County HRA levy. City staff has not found any substantive reason to oppose the legislative initiative being made by the County. However, we do have a concern that given the climate at the legislature this year, the state legislature could take this matter in a direction not favorable to the City of St. Louis Park, including the possibility of limiting our own ability to undertake an HRA levy. We have shared this concern with Hennepin County and they have agreed to pull the legislation if it appears that the direction of the legislation is going in a manner which is not in keeping with its original intent. Attached is a resolution Hennepin County has requested the City Council adopt supporting the legislation noted above. As you will note in the last paragraph, it states that if any amendments are proposed to be made to the County’s legislation that would negatively affect St. Louis Park, they would strenuously oppose the changes up to and including withdrawal of the proposed legislation. The resolution also clarifies that if this legislation were approved, it would in no way St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 8b - Hennepin County HRA Levy Page 2 of 4 prohibit the City from undertaking its own HRA levy or prohibit the City from its current authority to disallow the County HRA from undertaking activities in St. Louis Park. Steve Bubul, the EDA’s legal counsel, has been also asked to look at the proposed legislation to insure our interests are protected. Staff will report on his findings at the Council meeting. It is staff’s understanding the City of Minneapolis will act on the resolution on January 31. Hopkins and Robbinsdale are scheduled to consider the resolution on February 4.

LOUIS PARK FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A COUNTY HRA LEVY IN ST. LOUIS PARK BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park: WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) was created pursuant to special law MS 383B.77 (Laws 1987, c.177, Sec. 1) with all the powers granted by the statewide “HRA Act” including the power to levy a special tax not to exceed .0144% of taxable market value; and WHEREAS, MS 383B.77 requires the HCRRA to notify communities annually of its programs, and further requires that HCHRA must receive approval by resolution of the governing body of a City before it can undertake any project; and WHEREAS, MS 383B.77 also requires that cities with a housing and redevelopment authority (HRA) in existence prior to June 8, 1971 must request annually that the HCHRA levy the special tax in their city, in which case the County levy reduces any local levy for HRA Act purposes; and WHEREAS, this requirement affects only 4 of 28 municipal HRA’s in Hennepin County, and therefore treats municipalities unequally by limiting the potential levy for HRA Act purposes in some cities but not others; and WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has approved seeking a legislative change to MS 383B.77 to clarify the HCHRA’s levy authority by deleting this requirement affecting only pre-1971 municipal HRA’s; and WHEREAS, it is the position of the County that this legislative initiative be pursued only in the event that the goal of clarifying the HCHRA’s levy authority is achieved, and that any other amendments which would have a negative effect on either the HCHRA or municipal HRA’s would be strenuously opposed including withdrawal of the proposed legislation. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park goes on record in support of the proposed changes to MS 383B.77 insofar as the HCHRA’s levy authority will in no way reduce, restrict or otherwise infringe on the HRA levy authority and capacity of the City of St. Louis Park, and insofar as the City of St. Louis Park retains the St. Louis Park City Council Agenda Item: 020303 - 8b - Hennepin County HRA Levy Page 4 of 4 authority to not allow proposed HCHRA activities within the City in the event that the interests of the County and the City of St. Louis Park are in conflict. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of St. Louis Park requests that staff be kept informed by Hennepin County of the status of legislative deliberations on this matter.

Police Sergeant Contract Changes for 1/1/03 – 12/31/03 A 1-year agreement for Sergeants was reached settling the City and Union for 2003. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving a Labor Agreement between the City and Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) #218, establishing terms and conditions of employment for one year: 1/1/03 – 12/31/03. Background: Chief Luse and I met with the Sergeants one time to discuss their 2003 proposal. Their request was very reasonable, asking for 3% on wages, $40/mo. on benefit contribution and $50/year increase in clothing allowance for those assigned to Support Services Sergeant. Their request is consistent with other groups for wages and insurance for 2003. The increase in clothing allowance will bring them up to the same level as patrol. The other changes to the contract are to clean up language. As you may remember, in 2002 the Sergeants transitioned from the sick and vacation program to flex leave. Now that we are fully into flex leave with our Sergeants, we need to delete language in the area of sick, vacation, funeral leave and holidays that are no longer in effect. Listed below are the changes to the proposed contract. The proposed contract is on file with the City Clerk. More detail is available upon request. Summary of Contract Changes 1. Duration: 1 year - 1/1/03 through 12/31/03. 2. Recognition: Change the statute for exclusive representative to 179A.03 Subd. 8 3. Article 12 Insurance: Increase employer contribution from $610/mo. to $650/mo. retroactive to 1/1/03. Comment: Increase of $40/mo. is consistent with our other employee groups. 4. Article 13 Uniforms: Increase clothing allowance for those employees who are assigned to serve as Support Services Sergeant from $550/yr to $600/yr. Comment: $600 per year is the same amount approved for Police Officers. 5. Article 26 Wages: 3% increase to wage schedule effective 1/1/03.

Approval of 2003 Liquor License Renewals Request of Council to approve year 2003 liquor license renewals for on-sale, off-sale, Sunday-sale, club and wine intoxicating liquor and off-sale and on-sale 3.2% malt liquor. License year to run March 1, 2003 through February 28, 2004. Recommended Action: Motion to approve renewal of licenses Background: Renewal applications, liquor liability insurance certificates and license fees have been received from 34 of the City’s 35 establishments. Though all renewals have not yet been completed, staff is presenting the first round of renewals to allow adequate time for processing the licenses. Council will be presented with the remaining renewals at the next regular meeting. City Ordinance requires property tax payments to be current prior to issuance of a liquor license and all tax payments for establishments are current. Enforcement Issues: Only one establishment, the Holiday Inn, was cited for non-compliance during the past licensing year (March 1, 2002 through February 28, 2003). An administrative penalty hearing is scheduled for Friday, January 31st. The Police Department continues to provide education services and other support to all of St. Louis Park’s liquor establishments and does not feel this violation warrants withholding renewal of the license for this establishment.
