Title: Resolution in support of a grant application to the Hennepin County Environmental
Response Fund Brownfield gap financing program on behalf of Greater Metropolitan
Housing Corporation - Ward 1
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA resolution supporting a grant application to the
Hennepin County environmental response fund Brownfield gap financing program (ERF) on
behalf of Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) related to its proposed affordable
owner-occupied twin home project at 5639, 5643, 5647 and 5707 Minnetonka Boulevard.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support GMHC’s grant application to the Hennepin County
environmental response fund brownfield gap financing program related to its proposed
affordable owner-occupied twin home project along Minnetonka Boulevard?
Summary: On July 6, 2021, the EDA entered into a preliminary development agreement (PDA)
with Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to pursue development of owner-
occupied affordable housing on four, EDA-owned, single-family properties along Minnetonka
Boulevard. GMHC proposes to develop four twin homes on the site providing eight affordable
home ownership opportunities. The EDA received a staff report outlining the development
concept on June 10, 2024.
GMHC has completed a phase I environmental study of the site which indicated ground fill of
unknown origin that contains waste material considered to be an environmental condition. The
study recommends completing a phase II environmental study to understand the extent of the
ground fill and any necessary cleanup requirements.
GMHC is seeking financing to offset the costs of the phase II study from Minnesota brownfield
gap financing program, which provides small grants to nonprofits for environmental assessment
and cleanup of property in Hennepin County. Grants for this program are submitted to
Hennepin County’s environmental response fund and are accepted on a rolling basis. GMHC is
applying for a $15,000 grant to cover a portion of the cost of the phase II review.
In order to submit the grant application, a resolution of support is needed from the municipality
where the project is located.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable. The resolution of support for Hennepin
County’s environmental response fund brownfield gap financing program does not obligate the
EDA or city to provide financial assistance to the development. Grant payments will be made
directly to GMHC from the county and will not pass through the EDA.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

EDA Resolution No. 24 - ___
Authorizing application for a grant from Hennepin County’s environmental
response fund on behalf of Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation for its
affordable owner-occupied twin home project
Whereas, the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority is eligible to make
applications for grant funds from Hennepin County’s environmental response fund; and
Whereas, Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation or an affiliate thereof or an entity
related thereto (the “developer”) is submitting an application to the Minnesota Brownfield gap
financing program through Hennepin County’s environmental response fund (the “ERF”); and
Whereas, the developer intends that grant funds will be used for environmental review
in connection with the affordable owner-occupied twin home project at 5639, 5643, 5647 and
5707 Minnetonka Boulevard in the City of St. Louis Park (the “project”); and
Whereas, the authority understands that grants funded through the ERF are intended
to fund a portion of the costs of environmental cleanup of brownfield properties; and
Whereas, Minnesota Statutes, Section 383B.81 requires a resolution authorizing the
application from the governing body of the municipality where the project is located; and
Whereas, this resolution shall neither serve to endorse the project nor operate as a
substitute for any other required city approvals required for the project,
Now, therefore, be it resolved that the St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority
supports the request by the developer for an ERF grant through the Hennepin County
Department of Environmental Services to finance a portion of the costs associated with
environmental remediation of the proposed project. Authority staff is authorized to submit all
documents necessary in connection with the developer’s application.

Title: Resolution in support of a Hennepin County Environmental Response Funds Brownfield
gap financing grant for Trellis Co. - Ward 3
Recommended action: Motion to adopt EDA resolution supporting a grant application to the
Hennepin County Environmental Response Fund Brownfield gap financing program (ERF) on
behalf of Trellis Co. related to its housing rehabilitation project at 2760, 2768, 2753, 2753 and
2765 Louisiana Court.
Policy consideration: Does the EDA support Trellis Co.’s ERF grant application related to its
housing rehabilitation project at 2760, 2768, 2753, 2753 and 2765 Louisiana Court?
Summary: Perspectives is a 56-unit affordable housing development located in five adjacent
buildings at Louisiana Court apartments. The current owner, Perspectives, Inc. has filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is required to sell the properties as part of its bankruptcy
proceedings. Perspectives has accepted an offer from Trellis Co. to purchase the five buildings,
maintain all affordable restrictions, assume the project based rental assistance contract, and
assume and continue all tenant leases. Trellis Co. is a nonprofit developer and operator of
affordable housing in the Twin Cities area.
Trellis Co. is seeking financing from Minnesota Brownfield’s gap financing program, which
provides small grants to nonprofits for environmental assessment and cleanup of property in
Hennepin County. Grants for this program are submitted to Hennepin County’s Environmental
Response Fund and are accepted on a rolling basis.
A phase I environmental site assessment was prepared for the property and identified sources
of potential soil vapor contamination. Trellis Co. is applying for $12,755 to conduct soil vapor
sampling at the properties in accordance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency guidance.
In order to submit the grant application, a resolution of support is needed from the municipality
where the project is located.
Financial or budget considerations: Not applicable. The resolution of support for Hennepin
County’s ERF Brownfield gap funding does not obligate the EDA or city to provide financial
assistance to the development. Grant payments will be made directly to Trellis from the county
and will not pass through the EDA.

Executive summary
Title: Recognition of Playground Junior Leaders
Recommended action: The mayor is asked to recognize the junior leaders for their service this
summer. Lisa Abernathy, recreation supervisor, will be in attendance to assist with the
presentation.
Policy consideration: Not applicable.
Summary: There were 48 youth volunteers that served in the playground junior leader
program this summer. Collectively, they volunteered over 1,000 hours. Staff strive to include
youth of all backgrounds and work to remove programmatic barriers to participation.
The junior leader’s program has been part of the recreation division for almost 38 years. The
goal of this program is to offer seventh- to ninth- grade youth an opportunity to maintain their
relationship with the summer playground program, while gaining valuable on-the-job
experience assisting full-time leaders with youth, ages four to twelve. This summer there were
ten playground sites with close to 1,000 kids registered.
The junior leader program is one of two teen volunteer programs in the Parks and Recreation
Department. The junior leaders volunteer during June and July in the summer playground
program. Along with playground staff, junior leaders play a key role in providing a positive
experience for each participant. Job responsibilities for junior leaders include assisting leaders
with program activities, set-up and clean-up and initiating activities for playground participants.
Junior leaders demonstrate responsibility, positive attitudes and a willingness to spend part of
their summer volunteering their time at a neighborhood park. During their time in the parks,
they become role models for the program participants they work with, as well as excellent
helpers for the full-time leaders.
The junior leaders are rewarded with this special recognition, a letter of recommendation and
passes to The Rec Center’s ice arena and Aquatic Park.

Minnesota Cities Emerging Leaders Award.
Policy consideration: None.
Summary: League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Executive Director Luke Fischer and First Vice
President Wendy Berry are here tonight to recognize Mayor Nadia Mohamed as recipient of the
2024 Emerging Leader Award. The award was presented to the mayor at the LMC conference in

youngest council member in St. Louis Park’s record. Throughout her public service, Mayor
Mohamed has helped improve the city’s understanding of the Muslim culture by connecting
people and encouraging acceptance between peoples. In 2019 as a member of the city’s police
multicultural advisory committee she was named co-recipient of the City of St. Louis Park
Human Rights Award for her efforts to connect various communities in St. Louis Park . Mayor
Mohamed has been a vocal advocate for creating affordable home ownership opportunities,
including supporting the city’s affordable housing initiatives such as the first-generation home
ownership and down payment assistance programs.

Discussion items
1. 2024 state legislative recap.
Ms. Pottorff introduced Park Street Public staff who presented the staff report covering 2024
state legislative session highlights.
Council Member Rog asked if geothermal planning grants were in our legislative priorities for
the city. Ms. Reed stated she was not sure but noted exploring geothermal energy is part of the
city’s 2040 climate goals.
Council Member Rog stated the cost savings with geothermal would be significant and she is
hoping this type of energy work will be done in St. Louis Park. She also asked if there are
updates regarding when the grant money for the small outdoor electrical equipment grant
program will be available. Ms. Jansen stated that $1 million was just appropriated and the
program is now being designed to include environmental justice areas within communities.
Council Member Rog asked if equity candidates will be included in the first round of cannabis
licensing. Ms. Reed stated she would check on this and report back.
Council Member Rog asked about the local government bonding project replacement fund and
if the city has a Capitol Investment Plan, why should the city be concerned? Ms. Reed stated
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 2
Title: Study session meeting minutes of July 8, 2024
there was no exemption originally for communities with CIP plans, thus the concern, but she is
confident it will remain.
Council Member Rog asked whether those communities who got ahead of the local tax
moratorium are able to keep their local tax revenue. Ms. Keller confirmed communities that
who have imposed a general local sales tax in the past few years are able to keep those tax
rates.
Council Member Rog observed that in the past, Rep. Kraft suggested that city priorities need to
be presented earlier in the year. Ms. Keller shared that staff wants to work on priority planning
as early as possible, but noted there is also work being done on policy development by the
League of Minnesota Cities and Metro Cities Association. She added staff aims to identify issues
as early as possible to work with legislators, while recognizing the time it takes for policy
development at these organizations. The city can continue to reach out directly to legislators on
specific issues as they come up.
Council Member Dumalag asked about the review process for comprehensive plans. She
explained she asked because the city will make comprehensive plan updates. Ms. Reed
confirmed that comprehensive plans are now exempt from the Minnesota Environmental
Rights Act.
Council Member Dumalag referenced cannabis licenses and noted she wants to be sure there is
a priority remaining that includes both large and small operators. She asked how an operator
could obtain a license before securing a site. Ms. Reed stated that this potential piece of the
licensing has been eliminated, to avoid the issue of an operator not being able to receive
financing before securing a site, but not being able to secure a site before receiving financing.
Council Member Dumalag noted the Extended Producer Responsibility bill and asked if this will
decrease the amount of waste in the city, or otherwise impact the city. Ms. Jansen stated that
extended producer responsibility regulation is a complicated piece of legislation which has not
been implemented as yet in any other state. She stated there are steps the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency has to complete before any sort of prohibition on certain plastic packaging
takes effect. Ms. Reed observed that there will be impacts in the city, but it will be several years
from now.
Council Member Budd asked if Colorado has passed their proposed extended producer
responsibility legislation yet. Ms. Jansen stated that in Colorado, it is not yet fully implemented
but added Washington and Oregon have passed the measure.
Council Member Budd asked about the small electric outdoor equipment grant program. Ms.
Reed stated the census drives the environmental justice aspect. Council Member Budd asked
how St. Louis Park compares to other communities on this and how likely the city might obtain
funds. Ms. Jansen stated she cannot comment as there is significant appetite for this and $1
million is a relatively small amount of funding. She added the purpose was to get the program
started, keep funding it over time, and future funds may trickle down to St. Louis Park.
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 3
Title: Study session meeting minutes of July 8, 2024
Council Member Budd asked about smart salting and compost use requirement priorities. Ms.
Reed stated smart salting did not pass and compost use was not included in the environmental
bill, adding these have not been successful over the years.
Council Member Rog asked which entity will handle lawsuits under the Minnesota Voting Right
Act. Ms. Reed stated her assumption is that the Attorney General or the Department of Human
Rights will manage these cases.
Council Member Dumalag referenced railroad safety and asked for clarification where state law
is compatible with federal law. Ms. Reed stated that staff is working to bring this information to
council when more data becomes available.
Council Member Rog asked if the Highway 100 loop bike trail was moved out because of
Minnetonka Boulevard improvements taking place to the west. Ms. Heiser stated that yes, staff
recommends moving the loop bike trail project out, due to funding and staff workload. She
shared that the city council directed staff to add the Minnetonka boulevard Phase 2 and 3
projects to the 10 year CIP. From a funding perspective, these projects require $15 million in
city funds in 2028- 29. She noted timing and opportunity have pushed this project out and
added this will be brought to council for additional discussion in the next few months as a part
of the budget and general levy.
Mayor Mohamed asked about the legislation that was rejected and if some might come back
for 2025, especially the statewide prohibition on discrimination in housing. Ms. Reed stated all
rejected legislation should come back in 2025, and noted source of income and missing-middle
housing will both be returning legislation. Both are very broad topics with diverse coalitions and
support has strong momentum.
Mayor Mohamed asked if the city would go back to the legislature with the Oxford and
Louisiana Avenue project. Ms. Reed confirmed that yes, the city will.
2. Base budget and fee update
Ms. Cruver presented the staff report.
Council Member Rog asked how the city got to a place where license fees were not fully
covering licensing services. Ms. Cruver stated that she was unsure of the history as it started
before her time with the city.
Mr. Pivec added that the typical practice is for St. Louis Park to maintain licensing fees relative
to other cities, which may not always be the best practice when licensing programs vary in
service delivery. Most cities are at or slightly below St. Louis Park’s fees.
Ms. Cruver pointed out that permit revenue is different than licensing fees, as it is based on the
value of a project. With higher interest rates, permits have decreased and staff has projected a
$360,000 drop in permit fee revenue into year 2025.
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 4
Title: Study session meeting minutes of July 8, 2024
Council Member Rog asked what big projects the city anticipates for 2025, such as the Beltline
Station Development. Mr. Skallet stated that projects will depend on the interest rates. He
described how the Beltline project has been waiting for interest rates to drop before moving
forward, as communicated by the developer. Permits have increased year to date, but the
projects are smaller.
Ms. Barton clarified that with the Beltline project, permits could be issued to begin work by the
end of this year but the project may go into 2025. The Wooddale Station project could begin in
2025 as well but may go into 2026. Both are larger projects; higher interest rates have affected
these projects significantly.
Council Member Budd stated it seems the projected increases put the city at the top of the list
of surrounding suburbs. Mr. Pivec stated that the cost of inspections staff’s time was the reason
for this apparent difference, though it is difficult to compare one city to another because city
inspection requirements vary. Increases in fees were derived from costing out total expenses
and staff hours for each type of license inspection and specific work involved.
Council Member Rog asked about the debt service increase of $300,000. Ms. Cruver stated staff
projected this, but in 2025 it will be $160,000, so there will be savings there, but will go away in
2026.
Council Member Budd asked about the HRA and EDA levies and stated there is a maximum cap
foe those two levy types. Ms. Cruver stated the levy can be held to the same level as it was last
year, that it could also be maxed out, and then moved into the general fund. She stated
revenues need to increase each year in order to maintain the affordable housing fund, which is
a requirement by the state.
Council Member Budd stated it would be helpful to have a better understanding of the 4DE
impact as that data becomes available. Ms. Cruver confirmed that staff would bring that
information to the council.
Council Member Rog asked about the historical context of funding staff in both the
development and housing funds rather than the general fund. Ms. Cruver stated she is not sure
why it was done, but noted staff is now moving staff time with the journal entry into different
funds and then invoicing that time to where revenues sit. She stated this method takes up staff
time and is less transparent, but, in the past, this practice would help reduce the levy in a
difficult year. However, she pointed out that added funds were never readjusted back to their
appropriate place. Ms. Cruver recommended that staff would like to streamline and correct
these adjustments from years past.
Mayor Mohamed read Council Member Brausen’s comments. He stated he agrees with staff
recommendations, and supports the fee increases including the increases in licensing fees and
permit fees. He added Council Member Brausen supports moving community development
staff costs to the general fund for transparency purposes.
Council Member Dumalag stated she supports the proposed fee increases also, but noted it is
difficult to compare St. Louis Park fees to other cities' fees as the services actually provided may
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4b) Page 5
Title: Study session meeting minutes of July 8, 2024
not be comparable. She added she supports the budget development and the focus being on
projects vs. staff.
Council Member Budd also supported the staff recommendations.
Council Member Baudhuin stated he supports the staff recommendations to the limited degree
that he understood the information, being new on the council. He stated he is confident that as
discussions move on, things will become clearer.
Council Member Rog stated she also supports the proposed fee increases and noted her
rationale is that she supports the higher standards within the city on so many things that
matter. She added she is also supportive of moving the community development staff time into
the general fund as recommended by staff.
Mayor Mohamed stated she is also supportive of the recommendations of staff. She added it
makes sense – and a transparent processes - to roll community development staff time into the
general fund.
Written Reports
The council members noted their appreciation for volunteer involvement within environmental
stewardship programs.
3. Volunteer involvement in environmental stewardship programs.

7. Regular business
a. Resolution No. 24-086 approving assignment and assumption of Perspectives CDGB
deferred loan and transfer of ownership of property to Trellis Co. – Ward 3
Council Member Farris recused herself from the discussion and vote on this item due to a
conflict of interest.
Ms. Olson presented the staff report.
Mr. Walsh of Trellis Co. described the company in detail and noted the other properties Trellis
owns in Minnesota. He pointed out the supportive services Trellis provides and would like to
continue. Their current goal is to acquire the property and stabilize it.
Council Member Budd stated she is long-time fan of Perspectives as they have been a
wonderful contributor to her ward over the years. She asked about the difference between
Missions Inc. and Trellis Co. Ms. Olson stated Trellis will provide property management services
and Missions will provide the supportive housing services.
Council Member Budd asked if Section 8 vouchers have been approved yet. Ms. Olson
confirmed that the housing authority board approved assigning the project based voucher
contract to Trellis.
Council Member Budd asked what communication has taken place with residents. Ms. Olson
stated staff had received comment from some residents who had been notified by the current
property management, but staff has not been apprised of all communications. She added the
sale has not actually happened yet, but if it does, Trellis will need to follow the city ordinance
requirement of providing notice to all residents that the property is being purchased. She
explained that for the project-based residents, there will be no changes and they will continue
to receive their project-based assistance.
Council Member Budd asked when the sale is expected to take place. Ms. Olson noted the sale
is anticipated for August, 2024.
Council Member Dumalag asked if the wraparound services with Missions Inc. are similar to
what Perspectives provided in the past. Ms. Olson confirmed that is their intention. The
contracts between Hennepin County and Perspectives will be assigned to Missions Inc.
Council Member Dumalag stated she wants to be certain the services will be the same and
properly administered. She asked if this is subject to additional financing that Trellis Co. will be
seeking from Greater MN Housing Fund and others. Mr. Walsh stated Trellis Co. will acquire the
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4c) Page 4
Title: Special study session meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
property with the existing financing and the loan from Greater MN Housing Fund in August. He
noted the fund has already been approved and now is just subject to closing. He added they will
apply to the state and county for renovation funding and that process has just begun.
Council Member Rog asked if this property is required under the Cares Act to provide a 30-day
notice to tenants before filing an eviction. Ms. Olson and Mr. Walsh indicated they did not
know. Mr. Walsh stated Trellis Co.’s practices would follow the Cares Act and they do not
anticipate displacing any current residents.
Council Member Budd noted the child center across the block and asked if this includes that
center as well. Ms. Olson stated no and added this only includes the rental properties.
Council Member Dumalag stated she is glad there is a solution and is grateful staff have worked
on this. She added she is grateful also to the City of Edina who is able to help with the funding,
and for all the things that have fallen into place to provide new ownership and a new partner
for the city.
Mayor Mohamed agreed and stated her support. She added the whole Louisiana Court
neighborhood is special to everyone, noting she grew up there. She stated knowing those living
there will not be displaced and that a solution has come forth, makes her grateful to Edina and
to all who have stepped up to keep residents housed and keep a great program in place.
It was moved by Council Member Brausen, seconded by Council Member Budd, to adopt
Resolution No. 24-086, approving assignment and assumption of Perspectives CDGB deferred

Council members present: Mayor Nadia Mohamed, Tim Brausen, Sue Budd, Yolanda Farris,
Lynette Dumalag, Margaret Rog
Council members absent: Paul Baudhuin
Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), city attorney (Mr. Mattick), deputy city manager (Ms.

resources director (Ms. Vorpahl), park superintendent (Mr. Umphrey), parks and recreation
director (Mr. West)
Discussion items
1. Operating budget.
Ms. Cruver presented the staff report.
Council Member Rog asked about the placeholder for $200,000 and if the city were to shift
personnel costs from the General Fund to another fund, would there be an expected
correlation of a decrease in fund expenditures. Ms. Cruver stated yes, there would be a
decrease in salary spending, but noted overall rates are also impacted by capital expenditures,
which are going up.
Council Member Rog asked if future councils would need to increase utility fees and how this
would be reflected. Ms. Cruver clarified that because the city will see more capital projects over
time, a shift in $200,000 will not have a large effect on rates.
Council Member Rog asked if a future discussion about the boards and commissions program
would include stipends for statutory boards. Ms. Keller clarified that stipends will be paid if the
boards or commissions are eligible under state statute.
Council Member Rog asked why arts and culture and neighborhood grants funds were moved
from community development to administrative services. Ms. Cruver stated that outreach work
is the basis of these grants. They are now handled by a full time administrative services
employee whose focus is outreach.
Council Member Rog asked why the arts and culture neighborhood grant program had been
located with community development in the past. Ms. Keller recalled that when she started
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 2
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
work with the city, administrative services was doing the work but the expenses were coming
out of community development’s budget.
Council Member Budd asked if parks and recreation revenue increases will come from
increasing participation rather than raising rates for community members. Ms. Cruver
confirmed the increased revenue will be derived from increased participation.
Council Member Budd asked for clarification on nine full time employees in the information
technology division. Ms. Cruver explained that nine employees were added city-wide last year,
not just in one department.
Council Member Dumalag asked for more details about the community development fund
under the ongoing general fund. She asked if $50,000 recommended in 2025 and an additional
$100,000 simply translates to $150,000 in additional funds. Ms. Cruver confirmed this was
correct and noted the additional recommendations in the staff report.
Council Member Budd asked about the item showing $100,000 for housing; whether this
amount is an increase and if so, how much. Ms. Cruver stated emergency rental assistance is
between $80,000 and $100,000.
Council Member Rog asked about the community development social services program and
$150,000 designated for housing and senior services. She asked if this refers to monies
currently allocated to the Lenox Community Center; what funds are going away and what
funds are being proposed. Ms. Cruver stated the existing contracts would not be renewed
automatically and the current funding recipients would apply through this program. She added
the recipients are being expanded and those currently receiving city monies would now need to
apply for it. Criteria will be established to award contracts.
Council Member Rog asked if there is a current list of legacy partners. Ms. Barton stated the
request for proposal would be sent to anyone to whom the city currently provides funding.
Currently, this includes funding to STEP and Senior Community Services: the two primary
organizations receiving ongoing funding.
Council Member Rog asked if community education currently receives funding. Ms. Barton
stated that they do not receive funding at this time but are eligible to apply based on the
established criteria.
Council Member Rog stated she is concerned about this shift as it poses a risk in how the city
partners with some established relationships. She requested an equity lens in funding
partnerships. She supports funding that has gone to sustain organizations that serve this
community.
Council Member Budd asked whether the new community development specialist full time
employee position will interface with small businesses. Ms. Barton stated council had approved
a full time position for a navigator. The position is contingent on state vouchers awarded to the
city, expected in 2025. She clarified that the position is approved but not yet funded. The
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 3
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
economic development specialist position did exist previously; funding was reallocated, and the
position was reconfigured to focus solely on small business assistance.
Council Member Budd asked if $100,000 indicated for the affordable housing trust fund is
included in the budget for the fund. Ms. Cruver confirmed it is included in the overall spending
budget and is expanded and increased from the current budgeted amount. She added they will
not ask for additional levy resources above and beyond the 2024 HRA levy because there will be
new revenue to support the expanded programming.
Council Member Rog referenced $65,000 for emergency rental assistance and stated this
should be reviewed given these new revenues. She stated this feels like a new opportunity,
especially since many have difficulty accessing the rental assistance programs.
Council Member Rog asked about $375,000 and related expenditures in the Development Fund.
Ms. Cruver stated $50,000 per year is spent on land and maintenance. She added the city also
spends money on support for small businesses – not in the form of loans. Funds spent on
zoning studies and analysis are necessary when there are updates on plans, averaging $100,000
per study. This cost will increase over time.
Council Member Rog asked for clarification on the transportation tax revenue. Ms. Heiser
stated the new aid that the city receives is called the Transportation Advancement Account,
categorized as a Large Cities Assistance Account, and it will provide an additional $15,000 this
year. She stated the monies have already been dedicated to the Louisiana Avenue and Cedar
Lake Road project as a part of the funding package.
Council Member Rog asked if this was an allocation by the city to housing. Ms. Heiser stated it is
to be used for transportation purposes only. Though it will increase each year, it is not expected
to be a significant amount of money.
Mayor Mohamed asked for an estimate on the dollar amount each household in St. Louis Park
might anticipate with an overall levy increase of 7.15%. Ms. Cruver stated she does not have
that data yet and will come back to council with it.
Council Member Dumalag asked for the breakdown for allocations to commercial and
residential. Ms. Cruver stated this information will also be presented to the council at a future
discussion.
Mayor Mohamed asked if the one-time recommendations would go into the general fund. Ms.
Cruver confirmed this is correct.
Mayor Mohamed read Council Member Baudhuin’s comments related to the presentation.
Council Member Baudhuin indicated he is in favor of all three policy considerations regarding
the 2025 budget. He added staff has done a great job working through the accounting and have
a solid plan to keep essential functions and programs funded and are also looking at levy
increases the best that they can. He noted he is a strong believer that budgets are moral
documents in that they speak to an entity’s values. He believes this budget reflects St. Louis
Park’s values and strategic priorities – especially in terms of affordable housing.

Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
Council Member Farris stated staff did a wonderful job and the information was presented
clearly.
Council Member Dumalag thanked staff for their work and she is happy to see the line-item
breakdowns. She noted the social services special fund and asked if these funds can go to
housing diversion programs. She is in favor of the RFP process and wanted to be sure staff is
aware of this.
Council Member Budd added she also supports all three policy questions, and she is a
proponent of the relationship model with contracts which represent non-profit organizations.
She stated anything that can help to make programs multi-year or more stable is appreciated.
Council Member Rog stated she supports policy question #1 and believes this budget reflects
the city’s strategic priorities, noting there is nothing extravagant included. She stated for policy
question #2, it feels like there could be some flexibility for a levy adjustment since those funds
in HRA are underspent. In policy #3, she agrees with Council Member Budd on contracts and
relationships being really important to how the community functions. She stated STEP
anticipates a higher partnership with the city than they ultimately receive, and if they do not
receive the funding they expect, it will be a huge blow. She suggested staff look at multi-year or
stepping down support and not having it be a one-year change, which would be a shock to the
system, and allow for a two-year change.
Council Member Brausen added he is also supportive of all three policy questions and thanked
staff for their hard work.
Mayor Mohamed stated she is in support of all three policy questions as well. She does share
some of the concerns with partnerships in the community funding area. However, that this will
allow others to join in partnerships with the city who may have not had an opportunity to do so
in the past, which is exciting.
Ms. Cruver stated she will do a deeper-dive presentation during the August 12, 2024, study
session on the fund balance in major funds.
2. Pre-eviction notice ordinance
Ms. Olson presented the staff report.
Council Member Budd asked about the policy question of 30-day notice and if this is the
question under consideration this evening. Ms. Barton stated that since no formal action has
been taken by the council yet, staff is asking for affirmation to make sure this is the direction
the council wants to pursue. Ms. Keller added this is reaffirming the direction council wants to
go prior to the ordinance being brought to council for formal action.
Council Member Rog shared confusion that council was being asked this question again when
there have been two discussions on this already.
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 5
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
Council Member Dumalag asked about the number of rental units and noticed they were
consistent throughout three years. She also asked for clarification of methodology. Ms. Olson
stated that data was taken directly from the Hennepin County Eviction Dashboard on July 8,
2024, and for each zip code that number did stay the same.
Council Member Dumalag asked if there is a breakdown based on number of units, noting there
are a multitude of landlords, and the information varies. Ms. Olson stated that information is
available on rental licenses, but staff did not have that information readily available for the
council tonight.
Council Member Dumalag also noted properties that may carry debt and there was no
information included in the report on this. Ms. Olson confirmed staff does not track that
information.
Council Member Farris asked for clarification on a section on page 2 of the staff report. Ms.
Olson stated during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an eviction moratorium in place and on
June 21, 2022 all of those programs were phased out. In 2022, St. Louis Park landlords were
required to provide a 7-day notice, which had gone into effect in 2021. She noted that the city
is providing filing and eviction rates for four zip codes, two of which include St. Louis Park and
two of which include Brooklyn Center.
Council Member Budd commented this policy speaks to Minnesota’s COVID-19 protections. Ms.
Olson reiterated that the eviction moratorium was a state provision that was phased out in
2022.
Council Member Rog stated there is frustration because of all the work the team has done on
this. Her question is related to additional revenues from affordable housing from sales tax and
if staff envisions utilizing these funds to pay multiple months of missing rent payments. Ms.
Barton stated that is something staff had not discussed, and information from STEP and other
non-profits showed that providing more than one month’s rent generally will not solve the
problem for folks as that usually indicates a larger problem than can be solved by paying a
couple of month’s rent. She added STEP requests $65,000 each year for their program for rental
assistance and that is the amount the city provides them, adding they could request additional
funds if they felt there is a larger need, but they are likely limited by their capacity to administer
the program.
Mayor Mohamed read Council Member Baudhuin’s comments on the discussion item. Council
Member Baudhuin indicated he is in support of policy question #1 and feels the rental industry
favors landlords and this is a good step to supporting renters. He is concerned about
unintended consequences but feels the phrase is inaccurate. When it comes to eviction,
outcomes are very much intended by landlords and if these consequences do occur, the blame
should lie with the landlords and not the ordinance. He is not in support of policy question #2
and feels there should not be multiple notices. Landlords need to speak on specifics of the
lease; however, he would like an ordinance with specific language around renters’ rights and
resources, as well as landlords’ notices in English, Spanish and Somali.
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 6
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
Mayor Mohamed stated she is not in favor of the 30-day notice and has been very clear about
that. She pointed out that she has been a renter her entire life and stated she has dealt with
increases in security deposits and credit criteria. She stated for those in Section 8 or Housing
and Urban Development programs, there are protections for 30 days. After those protections
expire, she shared that renters are at the whim of landlords.
Council Member Rog stated her views have not changed. She wants to impact a power balance
between renters and landlords, and this is a small way to accomplish this. Having more time is
something renters have asked for, adding renters typically do not have a voice in these
scenarios. She noted that two additional weeks can increase the likelihood of stability, adding
she sides with those who have so little power in housing. She recognized a potential for higher
deposits and sometimes gathering documents is impossible to do in less than 30 days.
Council Member Rog stated on policy question #2, the community input showed that the
majority of landlords and renters were supportive. To her, that is listening to the people who
are most impacted, both renters and landlords. She stated the form was not confusing and she
supports its language. The form could have more person-centered language and still retain the
urgency of the message and she would like to see a workgroup approach this goal.
Council Member Dumalag shared that her thoughts have not changed since council last
discussed the question. She wants long-term stability for residents and noted in the last census,
St. Louis Park has 50,000 residents. Of those residents, 41% pay rent. There were some
unintended consequences with the COVID-19 pandemic, and many landlords were in the red.
She noted there are problems for both landlords and renters, adding that some folks are
considered a risk. She does not want unintended consequences to result in rent increases or
more short-term leases - in Minnesota, landlords can offer month-to-month leases. She stated
her position has not changed and she is not in favor of the 30-day notice.
Council Member Farris stated she is in favor of the 30-day notice because most people just
need time. She pointed out that this language calls for just 16 more days, not 90 days or six
months. People need time to access emergency assistance and no one should be homeless in
the richest country in the world. She asked her fellow council members to consider the
residents and people, and that she supports the 30-day notice, adding the council should not be
having this conversation.
Council Member Brausen stated he cares about this issue, is in favor of affordable housing, and
noted policy changes in St. Louis Park since he was first elected to serve on the city council. He
is proud of the work done to provide more affordable housing and wants to continue that work
for the residents of St. Louis Park. However, he is opposed to the 30-day policy and stated the
city should desire a market where landlords want to rent to residents, where landlords can get
financing and where landlords can afford to maintain their properties. He pointed out this
cannot be the case for many landlords if they lose two months’ rent from a tenant who does
not pay on time.
Council Member Brausen shared that in his experience in housing court, 16 days is not a
significant factor because most landlords want to work with their tenant. The best outcomes
involve a tenant who still has more time to pay while accessing resources. He shared that he
City council meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 4d) Page 7
Title: City council meeting minutes of July 15, 2024
has received emails from landlords who, should they go 60-90 days without payment, are in
danger of losing their property. He observed that the city is worried about corporations buying
up properties in St. Louis Park and if the independent landlords cannot survive, corporate-
owned rentals will increase. He is in favor of providing more assistance for those in need, as the
cost of rent is a crisis, but this 30-day notice policy is misguided.
Council Member Brausen added there is no data from the City of Brooklyn Center yet and for
St. Louis Park to prejudge the outcome is short-sighted. He would like to see the city utilize the
state statute and measure its outcomes before making any changes. He added he is also not in
favor of a one-size-fits-all notice.
Council Member Budd stated she supports the 30-day notice, as she has in the past. She has
considered the communication she has received. There is a lot of frustration with a long process
but an additional 16 days is warranted. She pointed out that STEP has communicated their
position that additional time would be a huge improvement and 14 days is not an adequate
amount of time. She added confusion is a terrible thing, and she feels the city needs to put
together the best template possible but is not sure it should be required.
Mayor Mohamed stated she appreciates the council’s comments and noted many pulled from
personal experience, which is wonderful to have. She stated the 30-day notice will make it
more difficult to find rental housing but noted the council has been clear on their intention.
She recommends there be no form as it will cause more confusion.
Council Member Farris stated she wants people to stay housed, and she supports the
recommended form.
Ms. Olson stated in the April 2024 report to council, there was a draft ordinance with specific
language required in the notice. The state statute has specific language and requires a 14-day
notice.
Council Member Brausen asked if the city moves to a 30-day notice, will landlords need to send
a 14-day notice separately. Ms. Olson stated with public housing, the city addresses the link to
the city website and the city is subject to the state’s 14-day notice and the 30-day notice
required by the Cares Act notice. She stated the city ordinance will include the specific language
of the city ordinance and state statute. It will not include Cares Act requirements.
Council Member Brausen stated he would then approve of the required form, so it is all laid out
clearly for tenants.
It was the consensus of the council to move forward with the 30-day notice ordinance and to
create a form that will be required of St. Louis Park landlords.
The meeting adjourned at 9:17 p.m.

Executive summary
Title: First reading of ordinance relating to 2025 fees
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of ordinance adopting fees for 2025 and
set second reading for August 19, 2024. This item received the required public hearing with due
notice on July 15, 2024 and the council did not take a vote at that time.
Policy consideration: Is the council supportive of the proposed fees?
Summary: Each year our fees are reviewed by departments as part of the budget process. Fees
are reviewed based on comparison to other cities in the metro area, changes in regulations,
and to make sure our business costs are covered for corresponding services. When possible,
staff tries to stay in line with inflation which for 2024 is currently around 3.4%. Most of our fee
increases are at or below inflation. The council is asked to approve Appendix A items because
those are within our city code. Other city fees are set administratively.
The second reading and adoption of this ordinance is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2024. If approved,
the fee changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2025.
Financial or budget considerations: The proposed fee changes have been incorporated into the
preliminary 2025 budget.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.
Supporting documents: Proposed ordinance with fees

Title: First reading of ordinance relating to 2025 fees
Discussion
Background: City code Sec. 1-19 references how fees are set. Fees included in the attached
ordinance are listed as Appendix A of the city code. Other fees are set administratively and
reviewed annually by city departments. Department directors have authority to set fees for
programs and services. Each department director has reviewed fees listed in Appendix A of the
city code. Recommendations are included in the attached ordinance.
On July 8, 2024, the council received a report and presentation on the proposed fee increases,
particularly the more meaningful adjustments to license fees in 2025 to cover the full cost of
providing the service.
Present considerations: The administrative services, information resources, community
development, engineering, fire, building and energy, public works, parks and recreation, and
police departments have each reviewed and analyzed the proposed fee adjustments, additions,
and/or removals that are the shown in Appendix A (attached). The 2025 proposed fee
adjustments reflect administrative costs of providing services and remain comparable with
neighboring cities.
Next steps: The second reading and adoption of this ordinance is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2024.
If approved, the fee changes will be effective Jan. 1, 2025.

Title: Resolution authorizing final payment for Rotary Northside Park Water Quality
Improvement project (4022-4001) - Ward 4
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution accepting work and authorizing final
payment in the amount of $3,827.39 for the Rotary Northside Park Water Quality Improvement
project – city contract no. 29-24.
Policy consideration: None.
Summary: On Feb. 5, 2024, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $373,155.00 to
New Look Contracting, Inc. for Rotary Northside Park Water Quality Improvement project. The
project included the installation of a manufactured stormwater treatment filtration device
(MTD) to provide water quality improvements within the Twin Lakes watershed.
The final contract amount, $382,739.29, is $9,584.29 (2.5%) more than the contract awarded.
The majority of the additional cost is due to a change order brought about as a result of an
error in the final design. Since this was a design error, Stantec Consulting Service, Inc.
reimbursed the city for the additional costs.
Final contract amount minus this change order, $373,837.25, is $682.25 (0.2%) more than the
contract amount awarded. This is within the planned contingency and there are adequate funds
to cover these costs. Details on the contract changes are included in the discussion section of
this report.
Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor
under contract no. 29-24 has been calculated as follows:
Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 373,155.00
Change order 1 +$ 8,902.04
Quantity overruns +$ 682.25
Final contract cost $ 382,739.29
Previous payments -$ 378,911.90
Balance due $ 3,827.39
This project is paid for by using escrow funds, in a total amount of $490,000, which were
provided by Lifetime Fitness and allocated to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD)
and the city for a mitigation project for the redevelopment of the Lifetime Fitness facility in
2018. The cost for change order 1 was reimbursed to the city by Stant ec.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to continue to lead in
environmental stewardship.

Background: On Feb. 5, 2024, the city council awarded a contract in the amount of $373,155.00
to New Look Contracting, Inc. for Rotary Northside Park Water Quality Improvement project.
The project included the installation of a manufactured stormwater treatment filtration device
(MTD) to provide water quality improvements within the Twin Lakes watershed.
The final contract amount is $382,739.29, which includes change order 1 for $8,902.04. This
was executed due to an error in the final design plans, which was discovered during
construction. The final design did not take into consideration the intersecting gas line, which led
to the need to realign the manhole structure and cut it to fit the new location.
Stantec Consulting Service, Inc. reimbursed the city for the costs of the change order.
Final contract amount minus change order 1, $373,837.25, is $682.25 (0.2%) more than the
contract amount awarded.
This additional cost is due to an observed condition during construction, where the distance
between the top of the new forcemain and park entrance aprons was minimal and there was a
concern that there was not adequate protection for the pipe. Due to this, the new forcemain
was encased in concrete underneath the aprons for added protection of the pipe.
Financial or budget considerations: The final cost of the work performed by the contractor
under contract no. 29-24 has been calculated as follows:
Original contract (based on estimated quantities) $ 373,155.00

Recommended action: Adopt resolution approving Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
discretionary match grant agreement with MnDOT for the development of the comprehensive
safety action plan.
Policy consideration: None.
Summary: In August 2022, the city council supported the development of a comprehensive
safety action plan for transportation. The cost to develop a plan was estimated to be $200,000.
On Sept. 6, 2022, city council adopted a resolution supporting application for the Safe Streets
and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program as an outside funding source to assist with the
development of the comprehensive safety action plan. The city was awarded $160,000 in
federal funds for the development of the plan. The remaining $40,000 was to be paid using the
2024 engineering operations budget.
In September 2023, staff applied for an IIJA discretionary match grant with MnDOT to cover the
city's $40,000 match. The application was approved. To receive the funds , MnDOT requires a
grant agreement.
Financial or budget considerations: The cost to develop a comprehensive safety action plan is
$200,000. The city received a $160,000 planning grant from the federal government as part of
the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program. The remaining $40,000 will be
paid for using a grant from MnDOT to cover the city's match.

Title: Resolution approving lawful gambling premises permit – Maple Grove Lions Club – Ward 4
Recommended action: Motion to adopt resolution approving a premises permit for the Maple
Grove Lions Club to conduct lawful purpose gambling at TGI Friday’s #2686 located at 5875
Wayzata Boulevard.
Policy consideration: Does the applicant meet the requirements for a premises permit to
conduct lawful purpose gambling at TGI Friday’s #2686 in St. Louis Park?
Summary: The Maple Grove Lions Club applied for a premises permit to conduct lawful purpose
gambling at TGI Friday’s #2686, 5875 Wayzata Boulevard. Gambling activities to be available
include paper pull-tabs, bar bingo, tipboards, paddlewheel, bingo, electronic pull-tabs and
electronic linked bingo. The Minnesota Gambling Control Board is the licensing authority;
however, city approval is required for issuance of the permit.
John Zenanko is the gambling manager for the Maple Grove Lions Club and will oversee the
operations at this location. Maple Grove Lions Club has charitable gambling at three other
locations in Hennepin County.
The Maple Grove Lions Club’s strong membership is actively seeking ways to engage the
communities within their club’s district (Hennepin County). The organization has a large
membership and plans to work closely with the St. Louis Park Lions Club , who is currently
seeking to grow its membership. With this fundraising opportunity in St. Louis Park, Maple
Grove Lions Club plans to increase funds and visibility for the St. Louis Park Lions Club.
Together, these two clubs support several district-wide initiatives in Hennepin County.
Organizations licensed to conduct lawful gambling within the city are required to expend 90
percent of their lawful purpose expenditures on lawful purposes conducted or located within
the trade area. State law requires the city’s definition of the trade area to include each
contiguous city. The city code defines the trade area as the cities of St. Louis Park, Minneapolis,
Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Plymouth and Golden Valley.
The police department has conducted a background investigation on the organization along
with related personnel and found no concerns. If the city council approves, the application and
resolution will be sent to the State Gambling Control Board for final approval.

Executive Summary
Title: Approve replacement of two fire engines (Units No. 1308 and 1604)
Recommended action: Motion to approve replacement of Unit 1308-2013 General Safety fire
engine and Unit 1604-2017 E-One fire engine.
Policy consideration: Does the city council approve replacing two existing fire engines?
Summary: Since COVID-19, delivery time for new fire apparatus once ordered ranges from 24-
50 months depending on the vendor selected. St. Louis Park Fire Department has two existing
fire engines due for replacement in 2027 in our capital improvement plan. In St. Louis Park, fire
engines typically have a 10-year lifespan before replacement. The trucks due for replacement
are a 2013 General Safety fire engine currently serving as our heavy rescue/fire engine and a
2017 E-One fire engine currently serving as our frontline engine at Fire Station 1. The city
operates with a total of three fire engines: a “frontline” fire engine at each of two stations and
a heavy rescue fire engine that is used on car accidents and technical rescue calls. It also serves
as a backup primary response unit when a frontline engine is being serviced.
We sent a request for proposals to four fire apparatus vendors and received proposals from
two of the four vendors. One was from MacQueen Equipment representing Pierce
Manufacturing and one from Fire Safety USA representing E-ONE. The Fire Safety USA proposal
was the lowest cost proposal and meets all of the specified requirements. In order to maximize
the surplus value of the fire trucks we are replacing, we requested in our proposal the option to
trade in these engines at the time of delivery of the new fire engines. We also requested that
the winning vendor use Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Advantages for their pricing.
Sourcewell is a Minnesota based cooperative purchasing program used by government entities
across the nation leveraging national buying power via local Minnesota based dealers.
It is recommended that the city accept the proposal from Fire Safety USA for two new fire
engines to be delivered in 2027 and the trade in of our two existing fire engines at the time of
delivery of the new fire engines. The replacements will be the same brand and style of our two
current frontline fire engines. Having similar designs at both stations ensures continuity of
operations, familiarity with the equipment and minimal retraining. Council approval is required
because the purchase is over the statutory limit of $175,000.
Financial or budget considerations: The combined gross cost of replacing Units No. 1308 and
1604 is $2,203,147. This cost minus the trade-in value at time of delivery of $400,000 equals a
net cost of $1,803,147, payable upon delivery.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Title: First reading of ordinance amending Ch. 22 of the city code regarding bulk material
containers
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of ordinance amending Ch.22 of the city
code and set second reading for Aug. 19, 2024.
Policy consideration: Does the city council support allowing bulk material containers in the
right of way under certain circumstances?
Summary: Ch. 22 of the city code regulates the use of bulk material containers in the city and
does not allow these containers in the right of way under any conditions. After receiving
feedback that this code does not meet community needs, staff has been working at the
direction of the council to amend the city code to allow bulk material containers to be placed in
the right of way under certain circumstances.
At the March 25 study session, staff presented an outline of the conditions for when an
exemption to this section of the city code could be allowed. Council was supportive of the
changes outlined and directed staff to amend the city code. The amendment presented in this
report proposes changes that incorporate the requirements supported by council.
Staff recommends approving the attached ordinance to allow for exceptions to bulk material
containers in the right of way. This ordinance will be incorporated into city code Ch. 22 Solid

Title: First reading of ordinance amending Ch. 22 of the city code regarding bulk material containers
Discussion
Background: Since 2003, the city has not permitted the use of bulk material containers in the
public right of way as part of its city code regarding solid waste. The code did not include
exceptions or a variance process that would allow staff to waive the requirements in special
circumstances.
This issue was first brought to council on April 10, 2023 for consideration after receiving
feedback that the current city code’s rules on bulk material container did not meet community
needs. Staff cited that since the code was adopted, there have been numerous instances in
which parcels in the city do not have adequate space to place these containers on private land.
After the 2023 discussion and at the request of council, staff held meetings with
representatives from engineering, fire, police, public works and building and energy to define
the conditions under which bulk material containers would be allowed in the right of way.
Approval of an exemption to the city code would be determined at the staff level, upon finding
that the following conditions are satisfied:
1. There is no practical and or reasonable location for the container to be placed on an
individual’s lot or driveway and
2. An exemption will not unreasonably subject the public to harm.
All exemption requests that meet the conditions will be issued a right of way permit.
Requirements of approval: If the request meets the conditions of the exemption, the applicant
would be required to follow these requirements:
• Containers must be in front of the applicant’s property.
• Containers may only be placed in a location that will cause the least disruption to
pedestrian and vehicle travel.
• All containers must be marked with reflectors or cones to increase night visibility.
• Only hard-sided, structurally stable containers are allowed. Soft-sided or bag containers
are not allowed to be stored in the right of way.
• A 2-week time limit will be placed on each permit.
• Each address may apply for a maximum of 2 exceptions within 12 months.
• Permits shall be restricted between November 1 and April 1 so that they are not
obstacles for snowplow removal.
• Permits should be applied for by the container’s owner, not the homeowner. That way,
the city can notify businesses to remove delinquent containers.
Financial considerations: Requests that meet the conditions for exemption will be issued a
right of way permit. A permit fee will be collected to ensure that city staff costs to monitor the
program are covered.
Next steps: The second reading and adoption of this ordinance is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2024. If
approved, the code amendment will be effective Sept. 13, 2024.

following:
Sec. 22-63. Exemptions.
The city engineer or designee may grant an exemption to the container location requirements
in section 22-62 b of this code upon finding that the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there

driveway and (2) an exemption will not unreasonably subject the public to harm.
In the event an exemption is granted, the work shall be administered and permitted as outlined in
Chapter 24, Article VII, Division 2, Work in Public Right-of-way. In addition to the requirements
identified in Section 22-62 of this code, any bulk material containers that are granted a
location exemption under this section must also comply with the following regulations:
(a) Containers permitted in city right-of-way may only be placed in a location that will
ensure the least possible obstruction to pedestrian and vehicle traffic as well as provide
for the safety of the general public.
(b) Containers shall be clearly marked with reflective tape, markings and cones to increase
visibility by vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
(c) If placed on the street, the location shall conform with all applicable parking statutes,
city codes and standards.
(d) The container will be hard sided and structurally stable.

Executive summary
Title: First reading of pre-eviction notice ordinance
Recommended action: Motion to approve first reading of ordinance amending city code
section 8-335 requiring 30 days written pre-eviction notice and set second reading for August
19, 2024.
Policy consideration: Is the council supportive of requiring a 30-day pre-eviction notice period
and requiring the use of a city provided notice form?
Summary: Since Feb. 1, 2021, property owners/managers in St. Louis Park are required to
provide a seven-day notice to renters before filing an eviction action alleging a material breach
of the lease for nonpayment of rent or other unpaid financial obligations.
In 2023, the Minnesota State Legislature enacted MN State Statute 504B.321 requiring a 14-day
notice of eviction, effective Jan. 1, 2024. In response to this legislation, at the Oct. 23, 2023 city
council study session staff recommended the city’s notice of eviction ordinance be amended to
align with the state’s new 14-day notice of eviction requirements. Staff also recommended the
notice be called a “pre-eviction notice” and that property owners/managers be encouraged to
use a city-prepared pre-eviction form in multiple languages. Several city council members
expressed interest in a 30-day notice and requiring the use of a city -prepared pre-eviction form.
The council directed staff to engage in further outreach to gather input on the potential
impacts of both.
Staff collected comments provided through a survey, attorney recommendations and eviction
data from the Hennepin County eviction dashboard, as well as the state’s comprehensive
process leading to a 14-day notice period. Staff also consulted with the city attorney on changes
to the ordinance. Staff prepared study session reports March 25, 2024, April 24, 2024 and July
15, 2024. At the July 15, 2024 study session the majority of the council supported a 30-day
notice and requiring the use of a city provided notice form . Council directed staff to amend the
city’s ordinance to provide for a 30-day pre-eviction notice and require the use of a city-
provided form of the notice. The city attorney has reviewed the amended ordinance and form
of notice.
Financial or budget considerations: Staff time to implement and monitor the ordinance and
educate rental property owners/managers and tenants.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of
housing and neighborhood oriented development.

**These are the final DEI numbers for Rise on 7 and Arbor Court.
Under the EDA contracts for private development with Commonbond Communities’ (for its Rise
on 7 development), and Real Estate Equities (for its Arbor Court development) was a
requirement that the developers were to submit quarterly updates on their Diversity Equity and
Inclusion hiring and employment goals throughout construction. Both buildings are now
complete and the final hiring for these projects is provided above.
Rise on 7 was constructed by Frana Companies, which used multiple sources when advertising
for bids related to the project. Frana utilized their own FTP site that is 100% open to the general
public, and they connected to extensive lists of WBE, MBE, SUBP, DBE that they solicited via
Building Connected. They also advertised jobs at trade shows, union advertisements, AWC
Network, Spokesmen Recorder, Asian Press, and Finance & Commerce.
As per June 5, 2024, Frana had 56 subcontractors on-site during the duration of this project.
Two of the subcontractors were women owned businesses and one was a BIPOC/AAPI owned
business. The goal for the women-owned businesses were 6%, but unfortunately Frana fell
short of these goals by 2%. Per Frana, they always make a concentrated effort to hire both
BIPOC and women owned businesses whenever possible and within scope of the project.
Study session meeting of August 5, 2024 (Item No. 8a) Page 19
Title: Quarterly development update – 3rd quarter 2024
During this project there were a total of 645 construction workers on-site. Of these 645
workers, 19 were women (2.9457%) and 256 were BIPOC/AAPI (39.689%). Frana stated that
they continually try to hire, promote and subcontract with other companies who try to hire
local minorities and women employees. Frana stated that they will continue these practices and
continue to improve on all aspects of their equal opportunity hiring practices.
Arbor Court was constructed by Big-D Construction. Big D Construction put together a DEI
statement (attached) prior to soliciting bids that outlines the DEI policies followed on their
projects. Ultimately, bids were solicited from 328 subcontractors, including 29 WBE and 16
BIPOC/AAPI business enterprises.
13 women-owned business enterprises submitted bids and three businesses were hired (23% of
the bids received). The primary reason for disqualification was non-competitive pricing and/or
lack of experience with the construction type.
Five BIPOC/AAPI business enterprises submitted bids and Big-D Construction contracted with
one business. The primary reason for disqualification was non-competitive pricing and/or lack
of experience with the construction type.
Big-D was fairly close to meeting workforce goals, though it mentioned it had less control over
meeting those goals since it is unable to dictate the hiring practices of the approximately 60
different companies involved in the project.

CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK | WOODDALE PROJECT 5
A challenge often exists when we attempt to utilize subcontractors and vendors that are considered M/WBE entities,
the scope of work is often too large. To consider contractors within these defi ned categories we have learned that
breaking our work scopes and utilizing sometimes 2-3 diff erent entities to complete a large division of work is the best
approach, some examples of how we accomplish this are as follows:
¾Separating sidewalks and site concrete from larger/ complex building concrete packages.
¾Trucking and hauling contracted separately from large onsite earthwork activities.
¾Pass down WBE/MBE and workforce goals to our large subcontractors (over $1MM subcontracts).
¾Examples of potential partnering large subcontractors with smaller WBE/MBE sub-subcontractors could
include:
¾Concrete subcontract contracting reinforcing steel work (numerous rebar/PT subcontractors are within the
MBE/WBE database)
¾Electrical subcontractor contracting fire alarm or other portions of low voltage work to MBE/WBE
subcontractor(s)
¾HVAC subcontractor may subcontract:
- Insulation
- Controls
- Large subcontractors may also have options for WBE/MBE suppliers to furnish material on the project
OTHER DEI COMMITMENTS:
¾Our preconstruction team offers bid assistance for WBE/MBE subcontractors. We will host a pre-bid open
house at Big-D office and/or via web conference where we will provide project overview of scope, schedule
and project expectations and make our Precon team members available to answer questions and guide the
bidding community about this and other future opportunities for MBE/WBE subcontractors.
¾While we sit with the owner representatives and the design professionals establishing the goals for the project
and structuring the budget the entire team will focus on DEI opportunities that could benefit or be pursued on
the project. Participating on this phase of a project is the most effective way for a General Contractor to assist
in accomplishing goals as outlined in lieu of the traditional process of Design/Bid/Build.
¾This process engaged with The Real Estate Equities Development Team and KAAS Wilson Architects can
effectively accomplish significant goals for the community
BIG-D SCOPE BREAKDOWN STRATEGY
WAGE THEFT PREVENTION STRATEGY
¾As part of our individual project safety orientation we intend to add more detail around worker rights. We will
specifically call out Dept. of Labor information available on the jobsite, inclusive of the phone number for the
MN wage theft hotline at Dept of Labor and Industry.
¾We provide DLI posters around the entire jobsite and the site offices.
¾A continued awareness that starts during the qualification process with all subcontractors and vendors to learn
their business and how their installations occur has been successful in avoiding subcontractors that do not
legitimately follow the Department of Labor policies.
¾As a large, multi-state firm that has grown for over Fifty-Five (55) years, we have a mature and robust process
to ensure that we do not entertain contractors that do not qualify in every region we do business.

THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS SHOULD NOT BE
RISKY BUSINESS.
Big-D Construction takes the safety of our workers
and our job sites seriously. Our company’s EMOD rate
is 0.62—well below the national average of 1.0. Our
incident rate is 0.58—also well below the construction
industry rate of 5.0.
Why such good numbers? Each employee attends a
mandatory Safety Orientation specifi c to your project
prior to commencement of any work on the project.
No ifs, ands, or buts. Moreover, all on-site employees
attend a weekly site safety meeting.
Our subcontractors are trained on safe work methods
and up-to-the-minute safety regulations for each
project, too. The Big-D safety offi cer and on-site safety
coordinator cover all bases when it comes to safety on
the job site.
WE PREFER TO TH!NK FIRST.
We use our heads before we use our hands and
machinery. With that mandate in mind, our job sites
and corporate facilities feature signs that tout our
TH!NK process:
T–Think through the task
H–Hazard recognition
I–identify the risks
N–Neutralize the hazards
K–Keep safety fi rst in all tasks
TH!NK is more than a helpful motto and acronym. Our
focus on safety includes:
¾SAFETY SHARES: Before any project meeting
begins, participants take turns communicating a
safety concern that they have seen, heard about, or
experienced.
¾SAFETY PLEDGE: Each employee fills out
a personal safety pledge confirming their
commitment and outlining how they plan on safely
performing their work.
¾STAND-DOWNS: We halt without hesitation. All
activity related to a task is stopped if recognized
as being performed unsafely. This may be any
activity performed by an individual, company, or
project-wide.
¾ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS: Incident or near-miss
reports are required so we can avoid future
incidents. It’s called “learning from your mistakes.”
¾CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS: We will re-TH!NK
the task and prepare a new plan of action.
¾SAFETY ALERT BULLETINS: We publish what we
have learned for the benefit of others.
¾YEARLY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS: All
management-level employees (field and office) are
required to attend 30 hours of OSHA training.
¾DRUG TESTING: Pre-employment drug testing is
required with random testing conducted monthly,
so that a minimum of 25% of the project workforce
is tested annually.
¾PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Our
required PPE includes a hard hat, safety glasses,
steel-toed work boots, and high visibility vests.
Additional PPE may be worn, as the task requires.
¾DISASTER PLAN: A site-specific disaster plan or
action is always created. Big-D maintains current
emergency contact data for each employee and for
our subcontractor’s employees.
¾PRE-PROJECT REVIEW: Safety is step one. Our
Field Safety Committee meets with each project
team to review potential hazards and risks.
¾SUBCONTRACTOR SELECTION: Only
subcontractors who view safety as a core value
are selected. Each must attend preconstruction
meetings and site safety training. Trainings are
provided in English and Spanish to support
diversity on our jobsites.
¾WEEKLY SAFETY MEETINGS: These meetings
are held to discuss topics that pertain to the work
currently being performed. Subcontractors are
required to hold their own meetings and submit
copies for verification of compliance.
¾HOUSEKEEPING: All job sites are required to be
kept clean and organized. It’s a matter of pride, as
well as safety.
¾SITE INSPECTIONS: These detailed inspections
are conducted frequently by our Site Safety
Representative or HSE Superintendent, the
Superintendent, Foreman, and Project Managers.
During site inspections, all visitors are expected to
follow stringent safety guidelines.
¾INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM: We employ a
written Injury and Illness Prevention Program and
Hazardous Communication Program.
¾VIOLATIONS: In the last 2 years, Big-D Midwest
has received zero (0) Serious, Willful or Repeat
OSHA violations. We have received one (1) minor
OSHA violation for failure to have the proper
quantity of fire extinguishers on a jobsite.

Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC) in 2000, the LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™
is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for
developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
LEED is a self-assessing measurement tool, based on a
point system, which focuses on a number of design and
construction strategies aimed at reducing a building’s
environmental footprint.
During construction, we manage and control costs
so LEED points can be achieved in a cost-eff ective
manner and yield an aesthetically pleasing, energy
effi cient project. Big-D’s approach to LEED produces
environmentally friendly results for the site, community,
and occupants.

Executive Summary
Title: Results of the banking services RFP evaluation and recommendation
Recommended action: None at this time. On Aug. 19, 2024, the city council will be asked to
approve US Bank as the official banking, purchasing card vendor and custodial services for the
City of St. Louis Park as recommended by an external RFP process performed by Ehlers.
Policy consideration: Does the city council have additional questions around the request for
proposal process?
Summary: The city has gone almost 20 years without a formalized RFP process of the city’s
banking, purchasing card and custodial services. The city contracted with Ehlers to conduct a
third-party RFP process to determine which bank can provide the best services for the needs of
St. Louis Park. Five entities met baseline criteria and submitted proposals, including Associated
Bank, Bremer Bank, Huntington Bank, JP Morgan/Chase Bank and US Bank. The entities were
scored on the following criteria:
1.strength and stability
2.relationship team
3.public sector experience
4.comprehensive services
5.service charges
6.purchasing card
7.enhancements
Based on the results of the scoring matrix, references, online banking demonstration and
consultation with city staff, Ehlers ultimately recommended US Bank as the top choice for the
city to consider as its new banking services provider. With the approval of city council naming
US Bank as the city’s depository, the city will realize significant financial operations
improvements. Due to timing considerations, staff is asking council to consider this item on a
date when finance staff are not available to address questions. If needed, staff can be present
for a short study session item on Aug. 12, 2024. If approved, the city will begin transitioning to
US Bank as recommended by Ehlers.
Financial or budget considerations: US Bank is recommended by the RFP process and this
change will enhance the financial operations of the city.
Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Resolution No. 24 -___
Designating US Bank as an official depository and custodial for city funds in 2024
Whereas, US Bank has been selected as the city’s official depository and the official
custodial of the city’s investments. PMA 4M will remain custodial of the city’s investment
account as US Bank provides custodial services to the 4M fund and continues as an official
depository for the city. Citizens Independent Bank will remain an official depository to the city
for calendar year 2024 as the city transitions to US Bank for depository services. UBS will
remain as an official custodial of the city’s investments for calendar 2024 as the city transitions
to US Bank for custodial services; and
Whereas, State of Minnesota Statutes 118A sets forth the requirements for the
designation of depositories, make investments of funds under sections 118A.01 to 118A.06 or
other applicable law, and both designate depositories and make investments as provided in this
subdivision; and
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota,
that US Bank be named as an official depository of the city, with sufficient collateral pledged
equal to 110% of the uninsured amount on deposit; US Bank be named as an official custodial
of the city’s investment accounts.
Be it further resolved that the finance director or the finance director's designee of the
City of St. Louis Park is hereby designated as the approval authority for the acceptance and
release of all collateral to be held in conjunction with city funds on deposit.

Banking Services RFP Evaluation & Recommendation 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of St Louis Park engaged Ehlers to assist City finance and administrative staff with a banking and custody services Request for
Proposal (RFP) process. Of particular interest in this exercise were product features and capabilities, technology and product
enhancements, and fee/credit/interest earnings structures.
Ehlers drafted the RFP in close consultation with City staff and seven City-approved financial institutions were invited to participate, five of
which submitted qualified responses. Respondents included Associated Bank, Bremer Bank, Huntington Bank, JP Morgan/Chase Bank, and
US Bank.
Ehlers evaluated all proposals against seven agreed-upon scoring criteria categories. We then calculated monthly bottom-line benefit and
stack-ranked each respondent, awarding the highest point values to those with the strongest proposals and the lowest to those we
assessed as having the weakest. This approach resulted in further consideration afforded to US Bank and JP Morgan as finalists.
Ehlers proceeded with interviews of references to conduct further due diligence regarding the finalists’ qualifications. The finalists were
then invited to each provide a one-hour online presentation to City staff of their online banking portals, introduce their banking service
support teams, and answer any questions related to their submissions.
Ultimately based on the scoring matrix, references, online banking demonstration, and in consultation with City staff, Ehlers recommends
US Bank as the top choice for the City to consider as its new banking services provider.

Banking Services RFP Evaluation & Recommendation 3
INTRODUCTION
In March 2024, the City of St Louis Park engaged Ehlers, its long-standing Municipal Advisor, to assist finance and administrative
staff with a Request for Proposal for the express purpose of evaluating its current banking systems and technologies to determine
whether the City might benefit from:
•New or additional products or services that further enhance efficiencies
•New or additional technologies to bolster security measures
•More competitive fee structures or earnings opportunities than currently offered by its incumbent
provider
As part of the engagement, the City asked Ehlers to:
•Draft the Request for Proposal (RFP), along with scoring criteria & weighted point values, in collaboration
with City staff
•Develop a list of recommended respondents for City review & approval
•Coordinate distribution of the RFP to potential respondents & serve as the primary point of contact
•Receive & evaluate each proposal on the City’s behalf
•Select finalists for further evaluation & undertake reference checks
•Present our analysis & final recommendation to City staff for consideration
In early April 2024, Ehlers completed both the draft RFP and list of recommended respondents and submitted to the City for review
and comment. The City approved both documents and Ehlers subsequently distributed the RFP, referenced here as Appendix A, via
email to following banking entities:

Following distribution, Ehlers invited interested recipients to participate in a virtual Question and Answer session that we facilitated
on behalf of City staff. A total of 33 representatives from all solicited banks attended this call. Ehlers staff believed all questions were
sufficiently answered during the session, and therefore, did not issue an addendum to the original RFP.

Title: Results of the banking services RFP evaluation and recommendation Page 8

Banking Services RFP Evaluation & Recommendation 5
RFP EVALUATION & FINALIST SELECTION METHODOLOGY
To ensure objective evaluation of respondent proposals, Ehlers applied a scoring matrix system using the following categories,
criteria, and point values:
Category Criteria (what we look for) Maximum Point Value
Financial Strength & Stability •Ratings by third parties, diversification 10
Relationship Team •Stability, responsiveness, industry knowledge 10
Public Sector Experience •Number of government clients, specialization of staff 15
Comprehensive Services •Do they offer all services required 15
Service Charges •Monthly cost of services & interest rate on balances 30
Purchasing Card Features •Product features, handling of fraud and rebate %10
Technology/Product Enhancements •Budget for future products, consultative 10
Ehlers evaluated each of the seven qualified respondents’ proposals against the above criteria and catalogued respective strengths and
weaknesses. We also considered monthly bottom-line economic benefits (calculating the net benefit of fees vs. earnings credits, interest
earnings, etc.) when scoring each response. From there, we stack-ranked each respondent, awarding the highest point values to the
strongest proposals and the lowest to those we believed to be the weakest.
Once all proposals were scored, we eliminated the five lowest scoring responses and identified two finalists for further evaluation and
reference checks. For references, we conducted telephone interviews seeking qualitative information about the following:
•Banking organization’s strengths and areas for improvement
•Relationship team’s experience, knowledge, stability, and
responsiveness
•Reference’s rating of the products and services currently used/
provided
Using this data, along with quantitative results of the scoring matrix, Ehlers completed additional analysis to arrive at our
recommendation for the City’s banking services provider.

organizations have worked with the bank long-term, the people we spoke with have personal experience with the bank of three years and
two years, respectively. Both cited the on-line site as being a strength and stated that if you want to transition to more electronic
processes, US Bank has the solutions and products you need. Neither reference had anything negative to say about the products
themselves, but wished the bankers were more proactive in recommending new services.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION
US Bank received the highest total score and offered the highest monthly bottom-line benefit. JP Morgan Chase received the second
highest total score and offered to waive all banking fees for the first year of the engagement if the City maintains a $2 million balance in
checking. After reviewing references, both banks were also given the opportunity to present a demo of their online banking portals to
City staff to evaluate the user experience and comprehensiveness of services. In terms of the quality of products and services available,
we believe both banks can effectively meet the City’s needs. However, based on the scoring matrix, references, online banking
demonstration, and consultation with City staff, we ultimately recommend US Bank as the top choice for the City to consider as its new
banking services provider.
