Policy consideration: What additional information may the council want finance to provide related to the 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report? Summary: The city is required to have an independent (external) audit each year, through which the audit firm issues an opinion on the city’s financial statements. The city’s ACFR received an unmodified audit opinion for the Dec. 31, 2024 report. For 2024, the auditor has deemed St. Louis Park’s audit as “unmodified” which means that they are of the opinion that the city’s financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, and are in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework for the Dec. 31, 2024 ACFR. In keeping with the previous 40 years, the city has submitted the ACFR to the Government Finance Officers Association for consideration of the Certificate of Achievement award for financial reporting. We anticipate the submission will be accepted and the city will be, for the 41st consecutive year, granted the award. Rebecca Petersen from Redpath and Company will present the financial details. Because the audit is public at the time it is finalized, it has been proactively added to the city’s website on the finance department’s financial reports page: 2024 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Financial or budget considerations: This report shows the City of St. Louis Park continues to remain in strong financial condition. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Policy consideration: Does the city council agree to accept $3,000,000 and enter into a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Minnetonka Boulevard Twin Homes Development project? Summary: The City of St. Louis Park applied for and received a $3,000,000 grant award through the Fiscal Year 2023 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) process. The City of St. Louis Park and its EDA is partnering with Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to construct four twin homes (eight owner-occupied units) on four vacant single-family lots fronting Minnetonka Boulevard. Financial or budget considerations: The total project cost is estimated at $8,025,929. $3,000,000 of project costs will be reimbursed by the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, the remainder of funds will be met through state, local and program funding. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.

The land is currently owned by the City of St. Louis Park Economic Development Authority, who entered into a Preliminary Development Agreement with GMHC in July 2021 to redevelop the sites. A total of eight (8) new lots will be created. The new twin homes will be constructed as zero lot line structures with one shared wall. Each side of the structure will be located on its own lot and garages will be provided for each unit. GMHC is partnering with Homes Within Reach, who will establish a land trust on the properties prior to selling the homes to low- income qualified home buyers. All of the homes will be built with sustainable features including electric appliances, low flow fixtures, LED lighting, high quality building materials and insulation. In addition, solar panels are proposed on the building’s roofs to lessen environmental impacts and reduce operating costs to the homeowners. The development is also located in a walkable area along transit lines. Plans can be found on the city’s development project website. The project includes several sources of funding including a Hennepin County Loan, a Local Housing Incentive Account (LHIA) grant from the Metropolitan Council, and a Minnesota Housing grant in addition to the HUD CDS grant. As a requirement of the HUD CDS grant, the developer and city staff worked with Hennepin County to complete a HUD environmental review process throughout much of 2024 and early 2025. A Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment, as well as a Section 106 Historic Preservation study, were completed in 2024 related to the review. Subsequently, Hennepin County published a notice of finding of no significant impact related to the review on Feb. 20, 2025. Following that notice, the county and city were granted authority to proceed with the project using HUD CDS funds on March 26, 2025. During the course of the environmental assessment, and through subsequent testing, debris and soil contamination were discovered on the site; and the project exhibits an additional funding gap partly as a result of this contamination. The CDS grant remains a key source of funds, among others, in moving this project forward. Staff have been working with the city’s HUD representative to submit all required material to HUD’s Community Planning and Development’s grants portal through spring and early summer 2025. Present considerations: As described above, the City of St. Louis Park applied for and received a $3,000,000 grant award in April 2023 through the FY 2023 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) process. The grant will be used towards the cost of the Minnetonka Boulevard Twin Homes project. The city council is being asked to consider approval of a grant agreement that will use grant funds for hard construction costs as a part of the approved Minnetonka Boulevard Twin Homes project. City council meeting of July 21, 2025 (Item No. 5d) Page 3 Title: Resolution authorizing grant agreement for the Minnetonka Boulevard Twin Homes Development - Ward 1 Next steps: Staff anticipate entering into a purchase agreement and contract for private development with a subgrant agreement related to the CDS funds in February 2026, with contamination cleanup commencing in March and construction of the properties commence spring 2026. Construction is anticipated to take approximately 12 months. The following anticipated timeline summarizes upcoming steps towards completion of the project in collaboration with GMHC and Homes Within Reach land trust. There are several additional milestones prior to construction commencement, and staff will provide an additional update on the project late this year at a study session. Q3 2025 • City of St. Louis Park executes grant agreement with HUD. • Developer (GMHC) conducts geotechnical work, submits a response action plan (RAP) to Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), and secures watershed district approvals related to the project.

B-23-CP-MN-0873 NARRATIVE The City of St. Louis Park and its Economic Development Authority (EDA) is partnering with Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to construct 4 twin homes (8 owner-occupied units) on four vacant single-family lots fronting Minnetonka Boulevard. The CPF funds will pay for base building hard costs only. The lot addresses are 5639, 5643, 5647 and 5707 Minnetonka Blvd, St. Louis Park, MN 55416. A total of 8 new lots will be created. The new twin homes will be constructed as zero lot line structures with one shared wall. Each side of the structure will be located on its own lot and garages will be provided for each unit. Each property will include an owner-occupied dwelling unit, an enclosed garage stall, and greenspace. The homes will be designed to blend in with the existing neighborhood and to take advantage of the site's existing topography. GMHC is partnering with Homes within Reach which will establish a land trust on the properties prior to selling the homes to qualified low-income home buyers, with preference given on a portion of the project for first-generation home buyers. Project phases: • Land acquisition by EDA (complete) • Demolition (complete) • Site design (complete) o Environmental review (complete) Phase I ESA Limited Phase II ESA o Architectural and engineering design (complete) • City entitlements (on-going, expected to complete 3/17/25) o Platting o Planned unit development • Closing / preconstruction o City permits o Planning development contract o Redevelopment contract o Preconstruction meeting with City • Environmental remediation / site work o Soil mitigation o Grading o Utilities • Construction – the CPF grant will be used to fund construction of the twin homes. o Footings, foundation and concrete work - CPF funds o Lumber, building materials, labor - CPF funds o Rough carpentry - CPF funds o HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, radon, vapor mitigation - CPF funds o Interior finishes - CPF funds o Exterior finishes - CPF funds o Landscaping • Sale to individual owners Multifamily Land Trust for Affordable Housing The City of St. Louis Park economic development authority (EDA) entered into a preliminary development agreement with Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to pursue development of owner- occupied affordable housing on four, EDA-owned, single-family properties located at 5639, 5643, 5647 and 5707 Minnetonka Boulevard. GMHC is partnering with Homes within Reach Community Land Trust which will establish a land trust on the properties prior to selling them to low income-qualified home buyers with the goal to provide several of the units to first-generation home buyers. GMHC proposes to develop four twin homes on the site providing eight affordable home ownership opportunities. The units would be affordable to households earning up to 60 to 80 percent of area median income. The new twin homes would be constructed as zero lot line structures with one shared wall. Each lot would include an owner-occupied dwelling unit, an enclosed garage stall, and greenspace. In addition to the twin homes, the project proposes to regrade and pave the city alley, which is currently too steep to pave.

Policy consideration: Does council wish to proceed with the ordinance amendments proposed to city code chapter 2 regarding boards and commissions? Summary: In ongoing discussions with school district leadership, the district proposed transitioning from having designated, voting school board members to a liaison model. The commissions affected are the Human Rights Commission (HRC), Community Technology Advisory Commission (CTAC), Planning Commission (PC), and Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC). Under this new approach, members of the district’s administrative cabinet would attend city board and commission meetings selectively, based on agenda items where the district wishes to contribute its voice or perspective. With this transition in mind, staff is prepared to propose amendments to chapter 2 of the city code that will: • Eliminate existing provisions specifying that a set number of regular member positions on the affected boards are to be appointed by the school board. • Reassign those positions as city council appointments, aligning them with the standard terms and conditions applicable to other regular members. • Update member qualification criteria for the affected boards, reflecting that the school board will no longer be responsible for determining the eligibility of appointees. The first reading of the ordinance was held July 7, 2025. The city council directed staff to make further revisions to the code to resolve several inconsistencies. They are outlined in the present consideration section of this report. If the second reading is approved by the council, the proposed changes will take effect on Aug. 15, 2025. Financial or budget considerations: None Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build social capital through community engagement.

These included: • CTAC Youth Member Reference: The language inconsistently refers to youth members in both singular and plural forms, despite the presence of two youth representatives. • Term Expiration Language: Descriptions for regular members use inconsistent wording when explaining the expiration of their terms. • Process for Filling Vacancies: The phrasing varies across sections; some mention a "demonstrated interest by completing city forms," while others omit this language entirely, creating inconsistency. • Planning Commission Updates: Certain areas failed to fully incorporate revisions regarding school board members. Specifically, the draft ordinance did not propose removing the relevant provision from Section 2-271(b). Staff should note that these updates only affect the specific commissions within chapter 2 that previously had school board member seats. Staff will bring back further housekeeping updates to the full chapter 2 code to ensure all sections' inconsistencies have been addressed. Next Steps: Should the city council approve the second reading and adopt this ordinance, staff will: • Engage current members sitting in school district seats and discuss options for remaining on the commissions they are currently serving. • Set up the council review committee and select members to fill the now-regular member seats and any additional vacancies. • Officially seat members at the Sept. 2, 2025 city council meeting. • Bring back housekeeping updates to the full chapter 2 code to ensure consistency across all boards and commissions.

Published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor: July 31, 2025 Meeting: Special study session Meeting date: July 21, 2025 Written report: 1 Executive summary Title: Development update 3rd quarter 2025 Recommended action: None. The attached report summarizes the status of major development projects occurring in St. Louis Park. Policy consideration: Not applicable. Contact staff with any questions. Summary: The attached report is meant to keep the Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the city council informed on a quarterly basis as to the metrics, construction status, and tentative schedule of major development projects in the city. For clarity: • Proposed developments: are those that are working through the planning entitlement process such as platting, planned unit developments (PUDs), variances and have not yet been approved. • Approved developments: are those whose planning applications have been approved by the city council and have not yet commenced construction (but whose financial assistance agreements may or may not yet have been approved). • Under construction: are those that just started or are actively being constructed. • Completed developments: are those that have received their final certificates of occupancy. More detailed information can be found on the interactive development dashboard on the city’s website. The dashboard provides project metrics for all major developments or additions that have been approved, under construction, or completed within the city since 2010. The dashboard includes website links, market rate and affordable unit counts by bedroom size, parking information, bike facilities, electric vehicle charging stations and more. Additionally, developments receiving financial assistance from the EDA/city are required to track Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) goals related to business enterprises and workforce hiring goals. The current goal status for projects under construction and for recently completed developments is also included in the update. Financial or budget considerations: Development activity affects the city’s total tax capacity as reflected in the city’s annual budget and long-range financial plan. It also plays a significant role in the retention of the city’s AAA bond rating. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a broad range of housing and neighborhood oriented development.
