Executive summary
Title: 2023 “Small Business Saturday” proclamation.
Recommended action: Mayor is asked to read proclamation designating November 25, 2023 as
Small Business Saturday.
Policy consideration: Not applicable.
Summary: Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday spotlights the
significance of supporting small, independently owned businesses across the country. Falling
between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to
supporting the diverse range of local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy,
contribute to local organization, and keep communities thriving across the country.
In 2022, U.S. consumers reported spending an estimated $17.9 billion at independent retailers
and restaurants on Small Business Saturday to the direct benefit of local economies. By
promoting Small Business Saturday, St. Louis Park continues its long-standing recognition of
local businesses and all they contribute to enrich the economic and social fabric of the
community. As our community approaches the holiday season, this proclamation further raises
awareness of the importance of the “shop small” movement.
In addition to this proclamation, this recognition will be promoted on the city’s website and
through social media. Additionally, Love Local window decals are available for pickup at the
front desk at city hall.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

contributions they make to our local economy and community; and
Whereas, St. Louis Park joins with advocacy groups and organizations across the country
to encourage consumers to “shop small” all year long; and

City council study session
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Oct. 9, 2023
The meeting convened at 6:32 p.m.
Council members present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Sue Budd, Yolanda Farris, Lynette
Dumalag, Nadia Mohamed (arrived 6:40 p.m.), and Margaret Rog
Council members absent: none
Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), community development director (Ms. Barton), race,
equity and inclusion director (Ms. Guess), engineering director (Ms. Heiser), building and
energy director (Mr. Hoffman), race, equity and inclusion specialist (Ms. Hernandez)
Guests: Michael Birchard, REI consultant; Matt Mullins, Maxfield Research Consultant
Discussion items.
1.Race, equity and inclusion policy framework.
Ms. Guess, Ms. Hernandez and Mr. Birchard presented the report.
Mayor Spano called attention to Indigenous Peoples Day today.
Mayor Spano asked for clarification of the phrase of “mode of practice” as used in the chapter
descriptions, and noted the council has historically used the phrase “operationalizing” their
work. He asked if mode of practice is completely analogous or different, and how so.
Ms. Guess replied that this section will outline objectives of the REI analysis that will be used as
the main approach of imbedding race, equity and inclusion in the decision-making process. She
stated the chapter outlines how race, equity and inclusion is being centered in decision making
for practices, policies, procedures and protocol. This normalization of the ongoing work in race,
equity and inclusion is how the city will build and develop a sense of community.
Ms. Keller added that this section of the report focuses on how city staff will operationalize the
REI policy and to whom it applies.
Council Member Budd asked about the employee resources groups and teams, specifically how
big and how active they are. Ms. Guess explained that there are four or five teams, which are
very active, as well as the racial equity employee leaders’ group. The intent is to have one
person from each department serve on the REEL team, and staff are working on this structure.
Ms. Hernandez added the groups include the Veterans Resource Employee Group, the LGBTQ+
Group, the Women’s and Bipoc groups as well and noted all are active and all meet monthly.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 2
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
She gave additional details of specific events coming up, and how they have experienced
positive participation – these focus groups are reflected in the framework.
Council Member Budd asked if the groups meet during worktime or as an extra-curricular
activity. Ms. Hernandez clarified that many are lunch and learns, which are lunch breaks plus
training. Ms. Keller noted these opportunities advance the priorities of the city; they are
employee-sponsored and employee-led training sessions.
Council Member Budd asked for clarification on how the policy design team works. Ms. Guess
responded they are internal stakeholders that expressed an interest in supporting race, equity
and inclusion work and they represent various departments across the system. Policy design
team members react to the documents and speak into the policy drafts, definitions, outreach
and engagement and have input. They serve as a source of opinion and advice in the work that
Ms. Guess leads.
Ms. Hernandez also noted that many of the staff serving on the race, equity and inclusion policy
design team have been involved in diversity and inclusion efforts in the city in the past as well
as currently. Diversity is present in not only the teams they represent, but also in their unique
perspectives – including longevity.
Council Member Budd asked for a definition on the phrase “crisis-driven environment” that was
noted in the staff report. Ms. Hernandez replied that this language refers to police and fire
union input, as these employees work in crisis-related fields and are actively responding to
people in need of emergency assistance.
Ms. Keller added that employees who work in emergency response services can be called away
from training mid-participation. Having dedicated training time that is uninterrupted can be
particularly challenging for these employees.
Council Member Rog stated she looks forward to addressing the policy and asked what
approach staff are taking to determine the city’s definitions. Ms. Guess stated currently they
are looking at definitions that established institutions are working from. These institutions
include the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), Race Forward, League of
Minnesota Cities, and Minnesota State (formerly MnSCU, the Minnesota State Colleges and
Universities. In phase two of the REI framework process, staff will base the policy’s glossary on
what is being used by these institutions.
Council Member Brausen stated he is supportive of the process and looking forward to the
policy and he appreciated the community feedback and hearing what colleagues with the city
are saying.
Council Member Mohamed stated she is also supportive of the process, and she is looking
forward also to seeing the city’s definitions and policy.
Council Member Rog asked about staff support and asked for a sense of staff’s responses in
light of potentially significant changes. Ms. Guess replied that based upon the focus groups
sessions she attended, everyone is so looking forward to this work and the workshops held for
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 3
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
staff are well attended. She noted there is a strong following for the race, equity and inclusion
work being done across the city and so far, the feedback received from staff is to keep it
coming.
Ms. Keller agreed and clarified that staff have asked for guidance and clarity also on how to
operationalize REI work. The policy is critical in providing this clarity because it codifies what
staff already do.
Ms. Guess noted that the work is intended to meet staff where they are and then pushing along
the way, adding the push is a welcome push, and staff is very supportive of the work.
Mr. Birchard shared his pleasant surprise that in his experience with focus groups, city staff is
very consistently supportive of REI work.
Council Member Dumalag stated she is also supportive of the REI work and asked about human
rights commission and their work. Ms. Guess replied that she will be working closely with
administrative services and on the design and engagement of boards and commissions going
forward. There is interest in community engagement and administrative services will advise as
to what that will look like.
Council Member Dumalag asked about a comment on page 12, and the fifth question related to
frontline worker engagement. Ms. Keller replied that the report speaks to a natural disconnect
that can happen between a policy maker’s decision and how it is implemented by frontline
workers. A line of sight is a necessary component to implementation.
Council Member Dumalag asked if REI may be a space for young people who organize, such as
Project SOAR. Ms. Guess responded yes, and they will reach out for student voices and
feedback.
Council Member Farris shared her support and excitement about the community education
pieces of the policy plan, emphasizing its importance. She said that engaging the community on
REI work is something that should have been done long ago. Ms. Guess gave examples of the
National Day of Racial Healing and Juneteenth for opportunities to engage community
members and added that the community is very curious and eager to learn and participate.
Council Member Budd asked how valuable the Human Rights Commission input was to the
policy framework process. Ms. Hernandez stated it was very valuable and staff had discussions
with them prior to phase one work. She noted that the feedback received was community-
based and was not limited to commission interaction; feedback was largely experiences within
the community and at city events, not just as commissioners. Feedback echoed much of what
was stated in the Boards and Commissions report, such as feeling out of place or unwelcome,
especially when boards and commissions or community event participation are not
representative of their diverse identities. Ms. Hernandez summarized that she is looking
forward to phase two and the feedback that will come from “leaning in” to these conversations.
Council Member Rog noted recent conversations with active and engaged parents in the Latine
and Somali communities that would benefit from engagement around this topic. With an
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 4
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
emphasis on early childhood education, she noted Erica Scott works for the school district and
can assist connections with engaged parents.
Mayor Spano asked if leadership commitment refers to staff, council or the community for REI
initiatives. Mr. Birchard responded that focus group work indicated some staff departments
that had engaged leadership and other departments that were interested in REI work but not as
passionate. Staff’s goal is to craft a policy that will engage all levels of leadership with clear
expectations and accountability.
Mayor Spano asked about the statement “culture shift” noted in the report. Ms. Hernandez
explained that they spoke with very diverse groups of staff members and the work that they do
is very different. The strategic priority of race, equity and inclusion will translate uniquely to
different people’s work culture experience. She emphasized this complexity is why there is a
need for an REI policy to create benchmarks. The policy addresses some of the growing pains
where staff are coming from very different sectors, backgrounds and different types of
workplaces. She reiterated that staff are in the process of creating a new culture in the city that
prioritizes race, equity and inclusion and this will be different for each department and for the
city itself.
Ms. Guess reminded the group that this culture shift is also a shift in becoming a learning
community and environment. Demographic realities suggest creating brave spaces for staff to
engage in conversations, which is a shift in culture.
Mayor Spano stated he wanted to ask about this because the council has understood that staff
has a fairly healthy culture, so when culture shift is discussed, it should be very clear, especially
for those who have been with the city for a while.
Mayor Spano asked about support of staff and noted in question three of the staff report, there
is a comment related to resistance and unsupportive staff which is a recurrent theme. He asked
for clarification on this.
Mr. Birchard stated he spoke to staff at the focus group, and noted some comments from those
who had been with the city for a while said they will just do their job, that they have an interest
in working with REI policy, but some staff some comments indicated that they did not have
expectations for lasting change. Mr. Birchard emphasized that the REI policy is intended to have
a lasting impact on how we do business as a city.
Ms. Guess expressed that REI work is messy – it is a start-and-stop kind of work. What the REI
team is working to keep staff engaged; letting staff know they are going to experience some
discomfort and that is a good thing to lean into. She continued that REI work expects and
accepts non-closure, answers are not always immediately accessible, and that is the nature of
undergoing a culture shift.
Mayor Spano reminded the group that when the city embarked on the REI system, council
knew that the process could be messy and uncomfortable, but that the discomfort is needed to
move forward. He noted many stakeholders are now more comfortable and do understand
there will be steps forward and backward in the process.

Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
Mayor Spano acknowledged a staff comment in the REI framework, pointing out that city staff
expressed appreciation for the current trajectory of their engagement and training.
2. Maxfield housing report and dashboard primer.
Ms. Olson, Mr. Mullins and Ms. Barton presented the report.
Council Member Mohamed related hearing there is a demand for senior living and limited
options for them to downsize or right-size. She asked if a small number of homes on the market
correlates to seniors remaining in their homes longer. Mr. Mullins agreed this is a factor.
Council Member Mohamed noted there is an increased need for accessory dwelling units
(ADUs) and multi-generational living. Mr. Mullins stated multigenerational housing is a great
option, but very expensive. He added there are structural concepts opening up in new home
construction to facilitate multigenerational living.
Council Member Mohamed noted the report shows a large number of one- and two-person
households, and asked if that is related to an abundance of one-bedroom and studio
apartments. Mr. Mullins confirmed this and continued to say that three- and four-bedroom
apartments can be expensive to rent, so it can be less expensive to purchase a house instead.
He noted the shift is still to a smaller household size. If they rent, families with children or pets
tend towards renting townhomes.
Council Member Rog asked for clarification on strategic thinking about the lack of housing
options for families with lower incomes, such as how the city has enacted some affordability
requirements for three- and four-bedroom apartments. Ms. Barton affirmed this strategy and
noted the affordable units are in demand and the market rate units tend to be residents in
roommate relationships.
Council Member Rog thanked Mr. Mullins for the report. She stated we need to problem-solve
and change course around ownership opportunities and senior housing options, pointing out
this is the greatest need. She pointed out that the city is meeting the demand on rental housing
and that it will not be met around ownership.
Council Member Rog asked if the council is able and open to support utilizing the city’s down
payment assistance program for construction of ADUs. Construction of ADUs could provide a
solution to senior housing and function as a useful subsidy. Ms. Barton reported that staff have
not seen many ADUs constructed because of the high cost. However, a number of households
have converted spaces in their homes into less formal ADU living spaces. She added this option
is much less costly as it is considered remodeling. Permits are required but there is less
regulation around this type of informal living space and allows for two separate kitchens. Ms.
Olson clarified that the living space feels separate while maintaining access to the full home.
Council Member Rog noted she was sad to see the 4% ratio of people living and working in St.
Louis Park and asked if this ratio was consistent to the rate prior to the pandemic. Mr. Mullins
responded that the ratio is consistent to pre-pandemic reporting. Ms. Olson highlighted the live
where you work program for home ownership, which is part of the down payment assistance
program.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 6
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
Council Member Rog mentioned that Park Nicollet Hospital and the school district both employ
a large number of people. She asked is there an opportunity for closer alignment between
salaries provided by these large employers and affordable housing rates. Mr. Mullins gave the
example of the City of Lakeville, where most residents work in downtown Minneapolis or
outside of Lakeville and earn comparatively high salaries. The Lakeville EDA is exploring an
initiative to match jobs and wages to the cost of living within the city.
Council Member Rog asked if there is consideration of climate refugees over the next decade.
Mr. Mullins replied that there is not current data available for St. Louis Park, but he is currently
working on a project for east coast residents to move to Duluth, MN, so this talking point is
being discussed in regard to housing trends.
Council Member Rog noted the population growth of children under 18 is small related to other
growth areas - just 2%. She asked the council to be mindful of the connection between the
school district and the availability of housing. She asked council to pay close attention to
housing options for families with children currently enrolled in St. Louis Park schools.
Council Member Brausen pointed out that the market is not providing the city with the types of
units most needed in the next 5-10 years, so the city needs proactive housing policies as
construction costs and land prices increase. He asked if modular housing is allowed in St. Louis
Park. Ms. Barton responded that modular housing is allowed, depending on the type. Mr.
Mullins added that modular housing is a gaining market with limiting factors like transportation
costs.
Council Member Brausen pointed out that only 7% of the city’s single-family homes are rentals.
He stated less than 1% are owned by institutional or nationally investors, and this data shows
that corporate investors are not buying up St. Louis Park homes on a wide-scale basis. He asked
if the Maxfield housing report will be posted to the city website. Ms. Barton confirmed that it
will be posted.
Council Member Dumalag noted the difference in available housing for one- and two-person
households and families with three and four people, noting that council should watch this data
in relationship to the school district. She asked if there is data around how the head of
household is determined in multi-generational families. Mr. Mullins responded that the data is
not available, but he suspects it is a smaller number. He speculated that there will probably be
more multi-generational housing in the future and more demand going forward.
Council Member Dumalag asked about strategies for financing the purchase of multi-
generational housing, and noted the down payment assistance fund might be a way to assist
affordability. Ms. Barton recalled a small number of cases of multi-generational homes that
have multiple names on mortgages, and Mr. Mullins pointed out how this could lead to
challenges when selling a house.
Council Member Dumalag asked for clarification around the age of a house, and how first
construction relates to modification and remodeling. Ms. Olson pointed out that the definitions
of “remodel” and “tear down” differ between construction management plan and permitting.
Data is based on tax records.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 7
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
Council Member Budd asked if half of the city’s rental properties are at affordable market rates.
Mr. Mullins responded that half of that the city’s rental property is at 60% affordable market
rate or below. Ms. Barton added that these are not subsidized; they are considered naturally
occurring affordable housing.
Council Member Budd asked if the report data includes all units related to the light rail or in
development. Mr. Mullins explained that those units are backed out of their calculations if they
are pending developments. The timing on where projects are in their approval process
determines whether those units are included.
Council Member Budd noted the 4% ratio of people who work and live in St. Louis Park and
asked about looking at the labor force separately. Mr. Mullins agreed that the labor force is
much higher than the population within the city. Council Member Budd shared that her
calculations show that 11% live and work in St. Louis Park.
Council Member Mohamed stated the report shows housing needs, demands, and disparities
and noted she would like to have seen more information on income based on race. She pointed
out that the average St. Louis Park resident makes $94,000 and the average sale price of a
home is $360,000, which requires income to be over $101,000. Typically, there would be two
people purchasing a home, but the income gap is noteworthy. She reminded the council that
when they make policies based off of the report data, it will be important to keep this in mind.
Council Member Mohamed asked the council to consider the success of the down payment
program in effectively creating ADUs.
Mayor Spano pointed out that there were a lot of questions in response to the report and
perhaps in the future, the Maxfield housing report should be presented and discussed at
multiple meetings.
Mayor Spano added thinking about condos as an entry to homeownership. He asked the council
to consider a mix of housing options when discussing with developers in the future. He asked
Mr. Mullins to elaborate on public-private partnerships. Mr. Mullins shared that communities
outside of the metro area do see more public-private partnerships to develop housing to retain
large employers. Typically, more than tax increment financing is needed for these partnerships.
Mayor Spano asked if there are developers who are interested in longer-term and more
creative relationships with cities. Mr. Mullins responded that there are more mission-based
developers now who are taking a different path.
Mayor Spano pointed out that housing has been a priority for the city for many years, and focus
is shifting towards ownership and availability of 30% AMI. It will continue to be important to
listen to the needs of residents and what they are looking for in housing options. He
summarized that the city has done a lot but there is always more to do.
Ms. Olson presented the housing dashboard information and an overview of how to access it
on the city website.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 8

Mayor Spano suggested Ms. Olson put the dashboard on the main landing page of the housing
section of the city website, so it is more easily accessible.
3. Proposed agenda topic.
Council Member Rog read a summary about the Dakota Park Pedestrian Bridge. Given cost
increases on the bridge replacement, the council asked staff to gather community input. Those
who were engaged in the discussion asked that the bridge be replaced.
Council Member Rog related that the council discussed community feedback and prepared for a
vote on whether to include the replacement bridge in the 2023 budget at the July 2023 study
session, which she was unable to attend due to having Covid. Based on community feedback,
she stated she did support replacing the bridge. Staff had also recommended the bridge be
replaced, but this was not communicated as strongly at the July session as had been in other
contexts prior to the July meeting. In August 2023, the council voted to approve an alternative
route around the park rather than through it. Council Member Rog voted in support of the
alternative route at that meeting.
Since that vote, Council Member Rog stated that her stance has changed; the alternative route
changes the experience of this popular park, which also houses a dog park and ballpark. Peter
Hobart Elementary school is nearby, and the bridge is used by kids who cross over with their
bikes. She stated the alternative route takes people all around the park, has fewer trees on the
trail and is a big change to the experience.
Council Member Rog stated she is not asking council to stop work already approved but is
asking council to consider adding the bridge back in a future year and restore Dakota Park to its
best and highest use. She suggested an alternative would be to add a small trail to allow
pedestrians to walk under the trees. She stated the city spends millions every year on
infrastructure as an investment in things that last. She shared that this investment is estimated
to last at least 75 years, which calculates to a few thousand dollars each year over its life span.
Council Member Rog stated she is not asking for anyone to commit to anything tonight, but
indicated she would like to be a part of the discussion on this important project in her ward at a
future study session. She asked the council if they support additional conversation around
pedestrian mobility on the southern end of Dakota Park to include adding a bridge and/or
creating additional trail connections for inclusion in the 2025 capital improvement plan or soon
thereafter.
Council Member Brausen expressed that he would prefer not to have an additional
conversation and added it was hard to say no the first time, adding the cost was one-third of a
million dollars and a 1% levy increase which is spread over time. He stated he is not in favor of
revisiting this topic.
Council Member Budd said that she is open to revisiting the conversation especially in light of
the volatility in pricing. In the future, prices may stabilize.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 9
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
Council Member Dumalag stated she was in favor of the bridge at the time the council voted
but is not in favor of discussing it again; the work has already started and will be completed at
the end of October.
Council Member Mohamed asked what has changed since the decision was made, adding she
has not heard from constituents on this. She noted it is difficult to bring the topic back up as
she has not heard any complaints from residents. She confirmed her understanding that
Council Member Rog has heard feedback because the park is in her ward. Council Member
Mohamed reiterated that she has not heard this feedback from constituents herself.
Council Member Rog shared that she was upset to hear some were in favor of the bridge and
regrets having missed the July meeting. She shared that she has heard from people in her ward
and 66% expressed via the city’s survey that they did not want to lose the bridge. Council
Member Rog noted she has received many emails about the bridge as well. She stated she is
confused about what happened even after the feedback from the community was presented to
the council.
Mayor Spano replied that if a future council body decides to discuss this project that is fine, but
questioned the criteria by which council decides to revisit a vote. For him to revisit a vote, he
would need to know there was something materially inaccurate in the information received. He
suggested that revisiting votes is a dangerous precedent to set.
Ms. Keller reminded the council that the conversation was not about modifying the current
contract or changing what is in progress now. The conversation was to ask if the council would
consider a conversation around adding the bridge to a future CIP – not 2024’s – which would
constitute a future improvement to the park.
Council Member Mohamed asked Ms. Keller if the project be discussed in 2025 should the
council decide to reconsider the bridge. Ms. Keller replied that it would be discussed in the next
12 months for programing in the future; the bridge would still be removed now, and the
alternative trail would be added as planned.
Council Member Mohamed stated the group should not equate her supporting having the
conversation with supporting replacing the bridge - she will not commit to this proposal tonight
and is interested in taking note of construction pricing and residents’ interests in the next few
years, adding again she has not heard from residents on this issue.
Ms. Keller pointed out staff do not anticipate costs going down on a project like this, so from
the staff’s standpoint, price is not the central factor. Value-added to the community is the
factor to consider.
Council Member Dumalag stated this project has already been discussed and decided. She
would not want to revisit other capital projects and de-prioritize something that has already
been discussed. There were multiple discussions and reports on Dakota Park, and she pointed
out the amount of attention the council has already given this project. She reminded the group
that PRAC and the community gave their input, and it feels disingenuous to revisit the plan all
over again, when there have been other opportunities for residents to share their input.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4a) Page 10
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 9, 2023
Mayor Spano reminded the group that they do not need to decide anything right now. He
stated if he were pressed for an answer now, he would not choose to revisit the conversation
as nothing had changed materially regarding the information available when the decision was
made. Mayor Spano noted that his decision does not preclude anyone coming forward to ask
for changes in the future. He stated he feels Council Member Rog is pushing the council to
make a decision they do not need to make right now.
Council Member Rog stated that staff recommended the discussion tonight as the mechanism
to present to council and share the feedback from her constituents, so she does not feel she is
pushing. Council Member Rog asked that in the future, she would like the council to consider a
procedure to be sure to hear from unexpectedly absent council members on ward-specific
information.
Council Member Farris stated she is open to having a future conversation about the proposal.
Council Member Mohamed emphasized that she does not want changes in commitments and
priorities on other projects.
Ms. Keller suggested that the next steps are for staff to look at other trail connections and look
at options for the CIP plan, beginning in 2025. Ms. Heiser pointed out that staff would need to
be assigned to explore this proposal and that timing would depend on staff availability in
consideration of what is already in the CIP. Ms. Keller stated that after this exploration is
complete, staff will come back to the council with information.
It was the consensus of the city council to have staff look further into the proposal and come
back to council with its findings and the understanding that staff availability needs to be
determined.
Written Reports.
4. Housing programs updates.
Communications/meeting check-in (verbal)
Ms. Keller noted:
• The State of the Community will be held Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 10 West End, and all
are invited to attend and RSVP on the city website.
• A housing survey will be conducted to look at qualitative data around neighborhood
housing options and what are community needs for different types of housing. The
survey is open until Oct. 31 and can be found on the city website in the news section.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

City council study session
St. Louis Park, Minnesota
Oct. 23, 2023
The meeting convened at 6:30 p.m.
Council members present: Mayor Jake Spano, Tim Brausen, Sue Budd, Yolanda Farris, Lynette
Dumalag, Nadia Mohamed, and Margaret Rog
Council members absent: none
Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), community development director (Ms. Barton), race,
equity and inclusion director (Ms. Guess), housing supervisor (Ms. Olson)
Guests: Stacy Kvilvang and Jodie Zasbaugh, Ehlers; Shanique Williams
Discussion items.
1. Annual Tax Increment Financing (TIF) update: TIF management and pooled TIF.
Ms. Kvilvang and Ms. Zasbaugh presented the report.
Council Member Rog remarked that she agrees on the school district impacts and how
everything hinges on the “but-for” clause. She stated the Risor development next to Corsa did
not ask for or receive any TIF and property taxes will be collected right away. In situations like
this, the timing of when the school district benefits from captured tax base is nuanced.
Mayor Spano asked if the city could define the use of trust funds for purchase as opposed to
rental of affordable housing. Ms. Barton replied yes and added that money from the affordable
housing trust fund can be used for down payment assistance though the first-time homebuyer
program.
Council Member Mohamed asked if this funding can also be used to preserve NOAH homes.
Ms. Barton confirmed that the funds can be used for preservation of multi-family NOAH units.
Council Member Budd asked about Park Commons and if those funds, which would not go into
affordable housing trust fund, have to be used in the district. Ms. Kvilvang responded that
funds do not have to be used in the district, though funds stay in the district until used on
affordable housing projects. Choices for using the funds are limited to capital expenses, for
specific affordable rental property, or for home ownership.
Ms. Kvilvang noted funds can be used anywhere within the city project area and are considered
with the district for accounting purposes.
Council Member Budd asked whether decertified districts will be kept open. Ms. Kvilvang stated
no and added the districts decertifying at the end of 2023 cannot remain open any longer.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 2
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 23, 2023
Those funds will be transferred over for affordable housing. She said if the city decertifies early,
they cannot keep those dollars and they go back to the county for redistribution.
Council Member Rog asked for thoughts on the likelihood that the legislature will extend the
allowability of transferring money into the affordable housing fund.
Ms. Kvilvang responded that many cities have been working on this. She added that the
legislature had a 50-50 chance of extending or not extending, depending on tax revenue review.
Cities will need to make a case for their own stewardship of funds and noted there is no
guarantee of perpetuity for a legislative decision on the pilot program.
Council Member Rog stated she is happy with what the city has done with the affordable
housing trust fund. She said the decision to continue to put monies into affordable housing
ought to benefit those burdened by those additional taxes. She referenced the recent Maxfield
Housing report noting the city’s need for more senior housing and deeply affordable housing,
citing the affordable trust fund investments as paying off. She is supportive of continuing to
move these funds toward the affordable housing trust fund.
Council Member Mohamed agreed with Council Member Rog’s observations of housing needs.
When discussing TIF, the benefits from the investments made directly alleviate some of that
burden for residents. She asked how the city’s housing needs can be tied to pooled TIF. She is
supportive of the funds and expressed her thanks to staff and consultants for the report.
Council Member Brausen stated he is supportive of the recommendations related to TIF. He
stated the city has had success with TIF. He observed the nominal cost to the general revenue
fund in that the city has leveraged less than $100 million in borrowed money over the years
with 99% of it repaid by the beneficiaries of these loans. He pointed out that the value of the
impacted properties had increased by almost 1200% over the years.
Council Member Brausen said that promotion of development and housing has addressed some
of the needs and without TIF, these projects would not exist or be financially feasible. He added
these projects have increased the tax base while working on the city’s strategic initiatives,
something the market alone does not do. He indicated he is in favor of pooling TIF, and the
work done with the affordable housing trust fund has created multiple affordable units across
the city.
Council Member Brausen stated he agrees with Council Member Rog that some of the
affordable housing trust funds could be redirected, but that is for another discussion.
Council Member Dumalag stated she is also in favor of the recommendations from the
consultants from Ehlers. She gave some feedback related to the report, and noted it was a bit
confusing with a lot of information. Because this information is difficult to grasp and the
council’s policy consideration does not give the public much time to review the information,
she asked staff to take note.
Council Member Dumalag stated she is a proponent of TIF adding the only reason for the city’s
robust affordable housing trust fund is because the funds can be transferred. This situation is
not always a guarantee regarding the legislature’s direction to cities. Referencing increased
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 23, 2023
development, number of residencies and infrastructure, she stated she is in favor of the policy
recommendations presented.
Council Member Budd asked for an explanation of keeping the districts open until 2026 with a
net effect of $12.2 million. Ms. Kvilvang described that by keeping districts open and opening
additional districts, $12.2 million is the cumulative amount that will be in the affordable
housing trust fund.
Council Member Budd asked about returning $1.2 million to the county because it exceeded
the statutory limit. Ms. Kvilvang stated when decertifying the districts, calculations must be
done to see how much can be kept for affordable housing and whatever exceeds that must be
sent back to the county for redistribution. Council Member Budd summarized that any
difference between estimated and actual collection is not an issue of having too many districts
open.
Council Member Budd referenced a graph showing the city’s tax rate going down over time
while value increased. She observed that the data will look good in the report for the state and
that she supports the policy considerations presented.
Council Member Farris stated she supports the recommendations presented as well. She
concurred that the information is complex.
Council Member Rog reiterated that a reason she is supportive of TIF is that the money is
already being collected. She added when talking about the potential reduction of the tax
burden on residents, she emphasized reduction. Funds collected have a specific purpose in the
affordable housing trust fund. She stated the importance of targeting those funds for those
experiencing the burden. She said the lower tax rate means the community is desirable, but
also means the city is becoming more unaffordable because property values are higher, which
can be a plus and a challenge.
Council Member Dumalag observed that in this situation, the city can transfer pooled TIF into
the affordable housing trust fund to help with home ownership affordability.
Mayor Spano stated every community has different needs and different financing mechanisms
available, and St. Louis Park has many options. He observed that in general, the Minnesota
political climate is one of trying to figure out a way for everybody to do better. He appreciates
this region and will be interested to hear more about affordability as decisions move forward.
He noted he also supports the presented recommendations.
2. Eviction notice ordinance amendments.
Ms. Olson and Ms. Barton presented the staff report.
Council Member Mohamed noted she likes the concept of the pre-eviction notice and asked
who the eviction prevention team members are. Ms. Olson stated she does not know the whole
team, but stated Marilyn Klug and Barb Patterson are two representatives that staff worked
with for the notice.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 4
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 23, 2023
Council Member Mohamed asked if they are renters or homeowners, explaining she wanted to
know who may have been left out when the group was formed. Ms. Barton stated they are
residents, and that the eviction prevention team is a grassroots organization, but she does not
know the makeup of the team.
Council Member Mohamed stated she supports the change to 14 days’ notice and asked which
languages it will be translated into. Ms. Olson responded that Spanish, Russian and Somali are
languages spoken in our city and other languages can be added in the future.
Council Member Rog stated she used to work on this team before serving with city council. She
stated the team goes door to door to meet with folks who have received eviction notices. The
team works with folks regarding their barriers and are very imbedded in the process as
volunteers.
Council Member Rog noted a recent article about eviction published in the Star Tribune. She
stated she would like to go further than what staff are proposing in the eviction process. When
looking at the lived experience of people who have received these notices, the city has an
opportunity to do better. She understands the intention to be aligned with state statute.
Council Member Rog suggested a pilot program which requires property owners and landlords
to use the city’s form, recommended to be titled the “pre-eviction notice.” The yearlong pilot
program would examine any problems and outcomes for tenants and property managers.
Council Member Rog pointed out that 275 residents have received eviction filings so far this
year, and she supports staff recommendations. Council Member Rog asked for her colleagues’
thoughts on embarking on the pilot program and summarized her suggestion by saying that the
City of St. Louis Park has always been a leader in supporting residents.
Council Member Brausen stated he is supportive of both Council Member Rog’s proposal and
the staff recommendations on the format of the notice. He said he also realizes owners and
landlords may not know about the specific St. Louis Park form, which is required. He also
pointed out landlords are required every three years to go through training on this process with
the city and this can be made clear during this training.
Council Member Budd stated she has strong feelings about this and shared her son has received
two eviction notices in the last two months. She is supportive of the 14-day notice but thinks a
30-day notice is quite reasonable and other suburbs are also requiring more than the state
minimum for notice. She pointed out that having eviction on a person’s record can make it
difficult to find other housing – it can change a person’s life. She agreed with Council Member
Rog on her proposal and would like a required standardized form. She asked the city to be a
leader and take the step to make it better for folks who are behind on rent.
Council Member Farris agreed with Council Member Rog’s proposal. She noted that receiving
an eviction notice of 14 days is not enough time for people to utilize applications for assistance
or obtain legal aid, especially if the person has a family to care for. She recommended 30 days
as more reasonable and enough time to resolve the issue. She asked that the eviction notice
word choice be easy to understand, including the amount owed and where to get help.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 5
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 23, 2023
Council Member Mohamed stated that she agrees on protecting the renter and added that
owners are affected by the pace of the process as well. She shared she spoke with an elderly
couple who were renting out their home. By the time the entire eviction process concludes
after a 30-day notice, a landlord may lose two months of rent. She stated she has concerns
about how this might impact both renters and owners within the community with a 30-day
notice and wants to be sure to find the right balance. As a renter herself, she is in favor of
protecting renters and looking at both sides of the rental relationship. Council Member
Mohamed clarified that she supports requirement of a standardized form as proposed by staff.
Ms. Keller reiterated that the question is whether the form will be encouraged or required, it
will be customized regardless. Ms. Olson added that they are legally required to include certain
language on the form. For public housing recipients, multiple forms or notices may be required.
Ms. Keller clarified that if council supports this direction, next steps would be to consult with
the city attorney.
Council Member Dumalag stated she also is supportive of Council Member Rog’s proposal and
agrees to making it a required and standardized form. She supports Council Member
Mohamed’s perspective on renter/owner perspectives as well. However, she added she is
leaning towards the 30-day notice to allow folks to get the help that they need.
Council Member Brausen spoke against the 30-day notice based on experience. He stated at
the time of a 14-day notice, the owner is already two weeks into the late rent payment. The
eviction process is three to four weeks. If that notice were increased to 30 days, it may be two
to three months before a landlord receives income on their property. He stated that there is
time to access resources within 14 days of notice.
Council Member Farris noted people do pay security deposits when renting, sometimes two to
three months’ worth if their credit score is not high enough. As someone who works with
renters, she noted that sometimes people cannot take a loss when living paycheck to paycheck.
She added that if someone can afford to own a property, perhaps they can better afford to
weather a loss.
Mayor Spano stated he is trying to find the balance on this issue, noting he understands the
changes proposed will create additional steps. He stated he is supportive of the requirements
and a standardized form, but on the 14 days’ vs. the 30 days’ notice, he would like to know the
practical implications of each option and make sure this is not confusing for renters.
Council Member Rog pointed out that the place of privilege and culturally appropriate options
in supporting the city’s strategic priority of race, equity and inclusion deserves further
conversation and evaluation.
Speaking to this comment, Council Member Budd thanked the eviction prevention team for
their work and noted the email is also a helpful way to reach tenants who may not have reliable
mail delivery or other challenges to written notice. Ms. Olson pointed out that many property
managers use portals as their main point of contact, but that the state does require the city to
mail an eviction notice.
City council meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 4b) Page 6
Title: City council study session minutes of Oct. 23, 2023
Council Member Mohamed added she would like to hear more about unintended
consequences of the 14- vs. 30-day eviction notice.
Ms. Olson noted the city has known about the state legislation for a long time and therefore did
not do the same robust outreach that was done when the ordinance first came into effect. She
also shared city staff does have a lot of empathy for people going through this and felt the 14
day was a significant change at the time.
Mayor Spano summarized the council has interest in exploring more on the 30-day notice. He
asked staff to take that back and create a timeline to bring this back for further discussion.
Ms. Keller added this would also include adding a template and information on resources. She
indicated the city attorney will need to weigh in on what happens if this does not happen by
January 1 as well as what are the different paths forward.
Council Member Brausen referenced the race equity written report and asked when cash vs.
cashless restaurants and breweries will be discussed by council. Ms. Keller stated staff is
working to bring this information before council.

current five-year lease – also with Loffler – expires March 15, 2024.
Multifunction printer equipment allows for printing, copying, and scanning of documents for
city business by staff in various facilities. This project will include:
•Assessing inventory to consider reducing the number of units needed through use of
updated technology and current best practices.
•Improving energy efficiency and sustainability and promote best practices to minimize
use of consumables and reduce paper waste.
•Minimizing costs while maintaining or improving current services.
Financial or budget considerations: Budget for the city’s multifunction printers is split between
the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2024 – 2029 (for the equipment) and the
information technology operating budget (for equipment software). The low bid received was
under the $350,000 estimated cost for this new five-year lease.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Title: Moratorium related to commercial cannabis activities
Recommended action: Motion to approve second reading and adoption of an interim
ordinance prohibiting the operation of cannabis businesses.
Policy consideration: Does council wish to temporarily prohibit the commercial manufacturing,
distributing, selling of cannabis and the operation of any cannabis business until local
regulatory controls can be established?
Summary: Council approved first reading on October 16, 2023, after briefly commenting on the
intent of the interim ordinance. The council emphasized the importance of allowing time for
the city to review planning and zoning regulations to ensure public health, safety and welfare.
City zoning codes currently do not address where cannabis businesses may be located or
prohibited. With business inquiries about potential sites already beginning, the city needs time
to study and adopt appropriate ordinances. Including, the development of a local registration
program, as allowed by law, and ongoing compliance verification.
An included provision of the law allows a city to adopt an interim ordinance establishing a
moratorium, allowing a local regulatory framework to be established for ensuring public health,
safety, and welfare in the community.
Staff is recommending council adopt an interim moratorium related to the selling, testing,
manufacturing and distributing of cannabis flower and cannabis products effective until January
1, 2025, or until the adoption of the controls being studied, whichever occurs first. The
moratorium will not impact medical cannabis businesses, or the current lower-potency hemp
edible retailers now licensed by the city.

Title: Special assessment – sewer service line repair at 2201 Louisiana Avenue South
Recommended action: Motion to adopt a resolution authorizing the special assessment for the
repair of the sewer service line at 2201 Louisiana Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN.
P.I.D. 08-117-21-12-0128.
Policy consideration: The proposed action is consistent with policy previously established by
the city council.
Summary: Sheldon and Melissa Steussy, owners of the single-family residence at 2201
Louisiana Avenue South, have requested the city authorize the repair of the sewer service line
for their home and assess the cost against the property in accordance with the city’s special
assessment policy.
The city requires the repair of service lines to promote the general public health, safety and welfare
within the community. The special assessment policy for the repair or replacement of water and/or
sewer service lines for existing homes was adopted by the city council in 1996. This program was put
into place because sometimes property owners face financial hardships when emergency repairs like
this are unexpectedly required. Plans and permits for this service line repair work were completed,
submitted, and approved by city staff. The property owners hired a contractor and repaired the
sewer service line in compliance with current codes and regulations. Based on the completed work,
this repair qualifies for the city’s special assessment program. The property owners have petitioned
the city to authorize the sewer service line repair and special assess the cost of the repair. The total
eligible cost of the repair has been determined to be $9,979.
Financial or budget considerations: The city has funds in place to finance the cost of this special
assessment.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: Three Rivers Park District CP Rail Regional Trail – St. Louis Park: Route recommendation
Recommended action: The purpose of this report is to provide the council with background on
Three Rivers Park District CP Rail regional trail planning, an update on their public engagement
and their development of a preferred route.
Policy consideration: No policy consideration at this time.
Summary: Three Rivers Park District‘s Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail Regional Trail is a planned 21-
mile regional trail corridor that traverses six communities in Hennepin County – Bloomington,
Edina, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, New Hope and Crystal.
The trail will fill a critical north-south gap in the regional trail system and provide a highly
desirable recreation amenity to adjacent communities and the greater region. The regional trail
corridor was originally centered along the CP rail line; however, this is not feasible for much of
the corridor.
A north-south regional trail through St. Louis Park is identified in the city’s 2040 Comprehensive
Plan, the Active Living Sidewalk and Trail Plan, and complements the Connect the Park
implementation plan.
Three Rivers Park District identified and studied four routes to determine the route that best
meets their metrics of feasibility, cost, private property impacts, safety and community
feedback. Through an extensive public engagement process, they have selected SLP 4 as their
recommended route through St. Louis Park. They will be presenting an overview of their
planning process and recommendation at the Nov. 13 council meeting and will ask for council
support of their preferred trail route at the Dec. 4, 2023 council meeting.
Financial or budget considerations: There are no budget considerations for the city. Three
Rivers Park District is funding the long-range plan.
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.

Discussion
Background: Three Rivers Park District’s Canadian Pacific (CP) rail regional trail is a planned 21-
mile regional trail corridor that traverses six communities in Hennepin County – Bloomington,
Edina, St. Louis Park, Golden Valley, New Hope and Crystal. This corridor is broken into four
segments. The long-range plan for Segment A in Bloomington has been completed, and
Segment D in New Hope and Crystal is currently being drafted.
Three Rivers Park District is completing a long-range planning study for the CP Rail Regional
Trail Segment C in St. Louis Park and Golden Valley. This segment will connect the Cedar Lake
Trail in St. Louis Park to the Luce Line Trail in Golden Valley.
Route identification: Three Rivers Park District staff began identifying preliminary routes
through St. Louis Park in May of 2023. City staff from the Parks and Recreation and Engineering
departments were consulted on initial route identification based on the city’s capital
improvement program and knowledge of existing biking and walking routes.
Three Rivers Park District staff identified four routes through St. Louis Park to bring forward for
public input. These routes can be seen on the attached CP Rail Regional Trail Long-Range Plan

Special study session meeting of November 6, 2023 (Item No. 1) Page 3
Title: Three Rivers Park District CP Rail Regional Trail – St. Louis Park: Route recommendation
Public engagement: Three Rivers Park District presented the four routes to the Parks and
Recreation Commission (PRAC) on May 17, 2023, as their first public engagement. This kicked
off an extensive public engagement process in St. Louis Park and Golden Valley that included:
• Over 5,000 mailed postcards, more than 4,000 of which were within St. Louis Park.
• An interactive online map and survey for community feedback that included over 550
comments.
• Park pop-up events throughout both communities.
• Over 500 in-person conversations at community events, of which there were over 200 in
St. Louis Park.
• Communications in the St. Louis Park Climate Action Newsletter, city social media
channels and information/engagement boards throughout the city.
• Open house meetings at Dakota Park in late July and again in early September.
Through engagement efforts, it has been determined that route SLP4 has a clear majority of
public support from respondents. That said, feedback from residents who live on Dakota
Avenue has not been as supportive. Primary concerns identified include the removal of either
on-street parking or trees to accommodate the bike trail. Additional concerns noted include
questions around snow storage, trail and driveway interactions and the aesthetics of a
bituminous trail. Three Rivers Park District staff worked to answer questions and address
concerns during engagement interactions.
Recommended route: Three Rivers Park District identified and studied the four routes to
determine the route that best meets their metrics of feasibility, cost, private property impacts,
safety and community feedback.
Three Rivers Park District staff presented their findings and their recommended route to the
PRAC on Oct. 18, 2023. Three Rivers Park District staff is recommending trail route SLP 4 along
Dakota Avenue for the following reasons. The route:
• Has the greatest public support from respondents, which includes feedback preferring
the quieter trail experience compared to routes that utilized Louisiana Avenue.
• Takes advantage of the existing trail bridge over the BNSF railroad at Dakota Park.
• Provides a direct connection to the North Cedar Lake Regional Trail at Dakota Park.
• Creates connections to Peter Hobart Elementary School, St. Louis Park High School and
the St. Louis Park Central Community Center.
• Has a direct connection to the Wooddale Light Rail Station.
• Does not require permanent right of way acquisition from adjacent properties.
• Is feasible to construct in 5-10 years as a stand-alone project.
• Has a lower overall project cost than other alternatives.
The PRAC was supportive of Three Rivers Park District’s recommendation of trail route SLP 4
through St. Louis Park. Three Rivers Park District is expected to provide a similar presentation at
the Nov. 13 special city council meeting.
Financial considerations: There are no budget considerations for the city. Three Rivers Park
District is funding and completing the long-range plan. The plan will identify a high-level cost
estimate for future funding considerations. In parallel with the final document, the District is

Three Rivers Park District will be following a similar schedule for the trail segments within the
city of Golden Valley.
Next steps: Three Rivers Park District will present its recommended trail route SLP 4 to the
council on Nov. 13, 2023. It will be asking council for support of trail route SLP 4, which starts at
the trail bridge over Highway 394 (near Hampshire Avenue) and runs along Wayzata Boulevard,
Dakota Avenue, 18th Street, Edgewood Avenue, Dakota Avenue and Wooddale Avenue to
connect to the Cedar Lake Regional Trail at the Wooddale Light Rail station.
The Three Rivers Park District has sent out the attached postcard to over 4,000 properties
within St. Louis Park, notifying them of the upcoming meetings and the requested council
support.

The CP Regional Trail is envisioned as a
north-south, multi-use, non-motorized
recreational corridor that will extend from
the Minnesota Valley State Trail in
Bloomington to Crystal Lake Regional
Trail in Crystal at Becker Park. The
regional trail is being planned in segments
to allow for more thoughtful community
engagement and detailed route analysis.
Segment C focuses on Golden Valley and
St. Louis Park between Cedar Lake and
Luce Line Regional Trails.
Alternative route options were identified
with input from the community, studied
and a preferred route that best balances
feasibility, cost, private property impacts,
user experience and safety has been
selected.
