Summary: There were 46 youth volunteers that served in the playground junior leader program this summer. Collectively, they volunteered over 1,900 hours. Staff strives to include youth of all backgrounds and remove barriers to participation. The junior leader program has been part of the recreation division for close to 38 years. The goal of this program is to offer 7th – 9th 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 (10) playground sites with close to 1,000 registered participants. 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 provi ding 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 and are 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.

Policy consideration: Not applicable. Summary: The City of St. Louis Park received two awards in this year’s Minnesota Association of Government Communicators (MAGC) Northern Lights Awards contest, which recognizes outstanding work in government, educational and nonprofit communications. The city received bronze awards in the Best Use of Humor category for its On a Roll - Internship Recruitment Campaign and in the Publications (Electronic or Print) category for the city’s Parks and Recreation Activity Catalog.  The On a Roll – Internship Recruitment Campaign took a new approach to advertising internship position openings at the city through social media by using humor and focusing on the playful culture among city staff. Compared to previous recruitment efforts, this campaign resulted in far more applicants learning about the internship position through social media, with 20% of applicants reporting they heard about the internship opportunities on Instagram. The two- video campaign was produced by Savannah Byers, social media specialist, with additional contributions and participation from multiple city divisions and departments. The Parks and Recreation Activity Catalog is published three times per year (fall, spring/summer, winter) and mailed to all households in St. Louis Park. In a recent survey, residents listed the publication as the main way they learn about the city’s recreation programming. Parks and recreation and communications staff work as a team developing each catalog over the course of about two months. All parks and recreation divisions contribute content, which is compiled by Stacy Voelker, parks and recreation administrative coordinator; designed by Michael Goldberg, graphic designer; and copyedited by communications staff.

Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), deputy city manager (Ms. Walsh), city clerk (Ms. Kennedy), community development director (Ms. Barton), administrative services director (Ms. Brodeen), finance director (Ms. Cruver), financial analyst (Ms. Stephens), public works director (Mr. Hall), fire chief Hanlin, engineering director (Ms. Heiser), building and energy director (Mr. Hoffman), police chief Kruelle, chief building official (Mr. Skallet), communications and technology director (Ms. Smith), HR director (Ms. Vorpahl), parks and recreation director (Mr. West), sustainability manager (Ms. Ziring) Discussion items 1.Base budget and background Ms. Cruver presented the staff report for the 2026 budget. She noted two policy considerations: •Does the city council support increasing the employee benefits fund levy from $200,000 to $400,000 to cover ongoing costs and reduce the need for ongoing fund balance transfers? •Does the city council support moving to an allocation model to fund internal services, rather than transfers or direct levies? Ms. Cruver stated that the results of the 2024 financial audit will be reviewed at the city council meeting on July 14, 2025. At that time, the general fund will also be reviewed. In 2024, expenses were over budget by 1.3% and revenue was over budget by 3.8%. Ms. Cruver noted that credit card payment processing fees have increased as more people are using credit cards to make payments to the city. A percentage of each transaction goes to third- party credit card processing instead of toward the payment for a city service or utility, which has a large cumulative effect on the cost of providing the service. Since 2018, the cost of these fees has more than doubled for the city. Council Member Rog asked whether the city could change the process at some point during 2026, hypothetically saving approximately $150,000. Ms. Cruver stated that this change would need to be planned for and rolled out over time. Finance staff are researching software or hardware changes that may be needed to implement this change and will bring a Page 2 City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 recommendation to the Aug. 11, 2025, city council meeting. After receiving direction from the council, finance staff can begin work on an implementation plan. In 2024, Ms. Cruver reported that the city received a few unexpected grants, including a grant for tree canopy management. Another success in 2024 was that the finance department submitted a Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) to the Government Finance Officers Association. Ms. Cruver stated the PAFR received an award level of Outstanding and finance staff will continue to submit this report annually. Ms. Cruver also noted that, over the past year, staff has made changes to spending and revenues to slow down use of the development fund and preserve remaining funds. She noted staff corrected some personnel budget items so the budget can be better understood and reduce unneeded transfers. They have removed some variable costs to the capital fund to address items such as replacing streetlights, heavy snow removal, or sidewalk work that may be volatile from year to year. In this way, money can be saved for use when needed. Council Member Rog asked if sidewalk expenditures are for repairing cracked and problematic sidewalks in a discretionary way. Ms. Cruver stated that the funds are for non-capital sidewalk and roadway maintenance as needed throughout the year. Funds were moved from the Public Works general fund to a separate fund specific to this need, which reduces pressure on the general fund levy. Council Member Budd asked for clarification on the movement of funds from the general fund to an internal service fund. Ms. Cruver stated yes, it is now in the Municipal Building and Infrastructure Fund and noted this includes repairs that are variable; emerging infrastructure needs such as electrical boxes and streetlights. Ms. Keller reminded the group that these improvements have been positive for both the public works department and for transparency of fund use. She also suggested the group consider these funds as being used for repairs that emerge throughout the year when staff is out surveying the area and cannot be planned for, such as additional sidewalk repairs. Ms. Cruver reviewed the timeline for the 2026 budget process, including bringing the operating budget change items and associated levy impacts to the city council on Aug.11, 2025. On Sept. 2, 2025, finance staff will bring the capital plan for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 and final maximum levy decision-making process to the council. In October 2025, staff and council will discuss the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) management plan. In mid-November 2025, the Truth in Taxation notices will be sent to all property owners in St. Louis Park. On Nov. 10, 2025, finance staff will bring any emerging issues or changes that need to be made to the Fiscal Year 2026 budget to the council for final review, as well as the final five years of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Ms. Cruver stated the budget will be finalized and adopted on Dec. 15, 2025. Ms. Cruver then noted several items that may impact the 2026 budget, including an uncertain economic forecast and particular uncertainty about tariffs and trade policy. Related to this, interest rates are not coming down and are affected by slowed consumer spending and Page 3 inflation. This has made it difficult to forecast financial policy for the future of the city. Ms. Cruver noted the changing nature of trade policies and stated this may affect costs of projects that were already planned as capital improvements projects. Ms. Cruver discussed other items affecting the fiscal year 2026 budget. In 2024, the city received a grant of a little over $100,000 from the Department of Energy and submitted it for reimbursement. In recent communication, the Department of Energy has noted that it is in a holding pattern and it is possible that the reimbursement may not be funded. The monies have already been spent for park improvement and will need to be covered by the city’s funds if the reimbursement is not approved. Council Member Rog asked for clarification to whether the grant was $68,000 or $100,000. Ms. Cruver explained that the grant was a little over $100,000 and that the $68,000 was actually for tax credits. She clarified that the programs are similar in that they both have a climate focus, but that the difference is that the city was counting on the reimbursement from the grant whereas the tax credits would have been an added bonus. The city would not have expended the $100,000 if the grant had not been approved. Ms. Cruver also stated that federal funding for AmeriCorps programs was drastically reduced by the federal government in the spring of 2025; the program is unlikely to continue. AmeriCorps volunteers are paid a modest monthly stipend to offset the cost of living. Multiple departments within the city will be affected, such as the volunteers who were doing the tree inventory. Without AmeriCorps volunteers, staff will most likely have to continue with the tree inventory project in addition to their current work at a slower pace, or the city will need to hire more staff to continue the tree inventory. Council Member Budd asked how many AmeriCorps volunteers the city has hosted in the past. Ms. Cruver stated that this year, at the time that funding was cut, one volunteer was working with the solid waste team and three volunteers were working with natural resources under parks and recreation. Ms. Cruver transitioned the discussion to the 2026 forecast. The city’s revenue sources are numerous. At 70%, the largest revenue source is property taxes. The second and third largest sources are licenses and permits, then charges for services. From 2025 to 2026, license and permit revenues are forecast to be virtually flat, increasing by only 3% from 2025. There is a natural increase in rental units, which leads to an increase in revenues. That increase is offset by a policy decision to discontinue the relative homestead rental license program, which decreases revenues by about $15,000. This revenue decrease is part of the 2026 projection. Permits are calculated by the overall value of a project; permit revenues are tied to the economic forecast as homeowners contemplate small home improvement projects or developers plan large-scale projects. If interest rates were to drop, or economic uncertainty were replaced with confidence, license and permit revenues would likely increase. Finance staff are suggesting a flat budget for fiscal year 2026. Council Member Rog asked if there is uncertainty regarding state revenues. Ms. Cruver stated that some of the state revenues declined from 2025 levels; aid for public safety will be steady. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 4 St. Louis Park has never counted on Local Government Aid and the award for next year will be $0 due to cuts from the state legislature. The city received about $32,000 last year and approximately $72,000 this year, but the amount will be $0 in 2026. Ms. Cruver noted an increase in charges for service in program revenue for leases and rentals. They are expected to increase by about 2.5%, in line with inflation. Ms. Cruver transitioned the conversation from revenues to expenditures. The largest expenditure from the general fund is personnel salaries and benefits. She pointed out that these grow each year. Rather than budget the same amount of money from year to year, staff budgets for the same number of employees each year. Council Member Brausen noted that several years ago, the council made a conscious decision to raise the target range for staff salaries to 85% for comparable positions. He noted this had been a stair-stepped process and asked if it is now complete. Ms. Cruver stated she can report back to the council with information from the human resources department. Staff works with a compensation consultant on salary benchmarking. While the city does account for salary adjustments most years, they are usually not as large as is recommended to keep up with the 85% target or inflation. Ms. Keller explained that this does not mean that all staff are paid at the 85% target because not everyone is paid at the top of their range. It means the salary ranges for positions are supposed to reflect the city’s target of offering competitive compensation in the 85th percentile for comparable positions. Council Member Rog asked what general increase in staff salaries is proposed for 2026. Ms. Cruver stated 3% is proposed for 2026. Health insurance costs are projected at the maximum increase of 11% and these costs are included in the 2026 budget. Ms. Cruver discussed the new family medical leave program that was approved by the state in 2023, which will begin in January 2026 and is included in the 2026 budget as a placeholder. As allowed in the state’s policy, the city will be splitting the cost of this program in the 2026 budget with employees; approximately $150,000 paid by the city and $150,000 paid by employees through payroll deductions. Staff is also looking into private bids from benefits vendors for the family medical leave program. Council Member Budd asked if to-date, the city has been providing family medical leave to staff. Ms. Cruver stated yes and noted that there would need to be some changes to current practice to comply with the new law. Staff will continue to research options. Ms. Vorpahl clarified that the city would need to supplement the family medical leave program provided by the state. The state uses a sliding scale meant to reimburse the lowest-paid workers. A big piece of the state legislation that the city is working on is once an employee severs employment with the city, they are still eligible for this leave for 26 weeks. This is not currently included in the city’s benefit plan, and staff is working closely with other cities and the League of Minnesota Cities on adherence to these guidelines. Staff continues to look for a City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 5 vendor that could provide that supplement at a lower cost than the state, and currently, there are many competitive bids. Council Member Budd asked if the city charges employees for unemployment insurance. Ms. Vorpahl stated that the city does not. Council Member Budd clarified that the city covers the entire cost of unemployment and Ms. Vorpahl confirmed this is correct. Ms. Vorpahl described how Family Medical leave, short term disability, and other types of leave will need to expand under future state legislation. Council Member Rog asked if the topic of benefits and leave would be on a future legislative session agenda. Ms. Keller confirmed that clarification was requested, and this is likely to be a future topic of discussion. Ms. Cruver stated the recommendation for today’s conversation with relation to the Employees Benefit Fund is to right-size the levy to cover past expenses and be proactive about budgeting. The fund currently pays for two categories of expenses. One is for current employees for cost of insurance and pension. The other category is for other employee expenses or expenses related to non-current employees, typically staff out on disability or on disability retirements. This second category cannot be handled with one-to-one budgeting, as is used on current employees, which is why approximately $200,000 in levy went into this fund. Other costs covered by the levy include tuition reimbursement and consulting fees. In the past two years, expenses have averaged around $400,000 but the city has only been levying $200,000. Instead of budgeting correctly, the city has had to move large amounts of fund balance into the Employee Benefit Fund and spend it down every two years. Finance staff recommends these costs be right-sized. Council Member Rog asked if the city budgets $400,000 per year for tuition reimbursements. Ms. Cruver stated the amount is actually $40,000 per year. Ms. Keller noted that tuition reimbursement is a tool for recruitment, retention and education required as part of employees’ roles; the funds are available to city employees only. Council Member Budd asked if the health and dental insurance for separated employees refers to COBRA funds. Ms. Cruver stated there are some costs to the city for COBRA, but added that the city is obligated to pay for city employees who are retired on disability. Council Member Rog asked if these considerations require approval by the city council. Ms. Cruver stated these considerations are all part of the overall levy, which does require the council’s vote to approve, as does as the 2026 budget. Ms. Cruver stated a 7% levy increase in the general fund for 2026 is projected at this time with no new spending proposals. Expenses are growing as projected revenues are flat, putting pressure on non-tax levies. Council Member Budd asked for more detail on the non-tax levies. Ms. Cruver specified that they include permits, licenses and charges for service. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 6 Council Member Baudhuin asked if the flat revenues could be attributed to economic chaos and uncertainty at the federal level. Ms. Cruver stated that this could be a contributing factor, adding that market uncertainty, flat revenues from permits, and no change in interest rates are also factors. Council Member Dumalag asked if the projected 7% levy increase takes valuation changes of property into account, noting a residential gain of 2% and an office space decrease of 8%. Ms. Cruver stated that it does not. The changes to the market values of different sectors of the city’s properties would not impact the overall levy increase but would impact how the increase is distributed among property taxpayers. Council Member Dumalag pointed out that how residents experience levy increases can be very different; some may see a higher percentage due to valuation. Ms. Keller clarified that the 7% levy increase being discussed refers to operational funds and is one part of the total levy. Ms. Cruver added that given the property assessment of 2026, city staff has determined that the residential impact will likely be very close to what the levy is. The city is seeing a decline in industrial and commercial value, though by comparison, but not nearly as much as other cities. As a result, the increased pressure on the residential levy is smaller. Ms. Cruver pointed out that if a residential property has substantial updates or improvements, this can increase a property’s valuation and taxes. Council Member Rog asked if any TIF districts are decertifying this year. Ms. Cruver stated there are several decertifying at the end of 2026, but noted this will not impact the 2026 assessment. Ms. Cruver summarized her presentation by noting that the general fund is higher than expected, capital replacement funds and park improvement funds will be discussed on Sept. 2, 2025, and that the city has already discussed the need and recommendation of increasing the Employee Benefit Fund by $200,000. The debt service levy in December 2025 is projected to go up by $600,000 based on 2025 projects; debt service lags a year. The city is finalizing bonding numbers and staff are focused on efforts to lower costs. Ms. Cruver noted that with the 2024 Financial Audit completed, the city can look at actual balances and places where available balances can be used instead of bonding, such as utility funds. For the Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy, Ms. Cruver noted that no increase is anticipated. The Economic Development Authority (EDA) levy is planned to increase by $187,000, forecasted to cover maintenance of city properties owned by the EDA as well as zoning consultation fees. Council Member Brausen asked what is driving the park improvement fund to increase by $200,000. Ms. Cruver clarified that because the levy was intentionally lowered in 2025 to use fund balance, there is room to provide some levy relief. Ms. Cruver stated the internal services expenses of each department related to vehicles, equipment and Information Technology (T) items are also being reviewed and itemized, as they City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 7 have been funded in different ways over the years. After consulting with the city’s auditors, the best way to expense charges by departments is a chargeback structure. This spending will be reflected in the general fund spending for each department and then moved to internal service funds. Council Member Rog asked if this limits staff’s flexibility. Ms. Cruver stated she did not think so, and noted that staff’s expenditure policies will not change. Itemization will provide more clarity on where expenditures can be lined up. Council Member Budd asked if a department utilizes a great deal of technology, would their budget be more likely to grow than a department that is more operational. Ms. Cruver stated that is correct, and added that their general fund budget will grow, but the levy that was previously going to the IT fund to support that will now go to the general fund levy. Aside from new proposals, which will be discussed on Aug. 11, 2025, the new fund organization will be levy-neutral. Council Member Baudhuin stated he appreciated all the work done on the finance report discussion by Ms. Cruver and city staff. Council Member Dumalag agreed that the decision- making for the city council will be clearer because of staff’s work. It was the consensus of the city council to approve both policy considerations. 2.Proposed study session topic – planning for a community center Council Members Budd, Farris and Rog presented the proposed study session topic. Council Member Rog stated that she and Council Members Budd and Farris have continued to talk about their study session request form and their proposal is different than how staff interpreted it. They believe that a standard community center may not be the solution for St. Louis Park and proposed a needs analysis that would look at the following items: should a community center be focused on youth or be multigenerational, how equity and access should be included at the heart of a plan, should a community center serve western or high rental populations of the city, what is currently offered, and where are the gaps. She noted St. Louis Park has The Recreation Outdoor Center (ROC), and the Aquatic Center, but no community gym. She asked if a community center could be a central gathering place for the community and whether the city council should ask residents for their input. Council Member Farris stated the council will need to think creatively and not think about new construction. She stated this concept could be a replacement for the Roller Garden, a field house reusing Kohl’s at Knollwood, or leasing gyms from schools for open basketball, sewing clubs, classes, community kitchens, or partnering with the YMCA or other organizations. She also asked if utilizing church spaces could be an option, and if outdoor or indoor space could bring the community together. She added she would not want to focus only on youth, but include everyone in the community. Council Member Budd added that Bickham Court has a clubhouse that is in use and is a miniature-sized idea. She noted the equity model is for those who need less structured City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 8 opportunities for recreation. She also noted current and past programs such as Ainsworth Basketball with Cops, The Nest, Hopkins and Minnetonka with The Depot coffee shop, and parks and recreation outreach efforts. The council members stated these ideas could be discussed at a future study session, and instead of focusing on how to finance a community center, consider dedicating funds for a needs analysis, looking at equity, and what the city already has along with what it needs. Council Member Brausen stated that this proposal is different than what he understood from what was submitted, and added he is not interested in doing an analysis of one large community center facility. He would also like more information from the Vision 4.0 process first, and to hear from constituents and see if this topic comes up in the visioning process. He added he is in favor of discussing an analysis of all city facilities. Mayor Mohamed added that when she saw this topic, she was not sure how to differentiate between The Roc, Westwood Nature Center or other community facilities. She asked whether the “western side of the city” refers to the area opposite The ROC. She would not be interested in building a community center as it requires significant capital, but added she would be curious how to fill gaps the city is currently experiencing, especially in the area that is west of Louisiana Avenue. Council Member Dumalag added community facilities should be looked at again, but she had concerns about doing a study. She observed this is as a real estate analysis, and suggested gaps can be looked at through the visioning process. She could support this if the city rents space for community events. She would like to discuss a needs analysis and then a facilities analysis. Council Member Rog added there are barriers to access and participation in many communities through transportation, not to disparage programs of parks and recreation. Council Member Dumalag added that perhaps vacant properties within the community could also be looked at for community facility use. Mayor Mohamed asked for staff’s perspective and if they have had time to review the revised proposal. Ms. Keller noted that she had not seen this revised proposal and suggested evaluating the trends that arise from the Vision 4.0 conversations. She intends to bring council a 2026 budget proposal to do strategic planning once the Vision 4.0 process is concluded. Funds could be included to also look at a needs assessment for projects like this that come out of the visioning process. Council Member Farris noted that some children in her neighborhood had nowhere to play last winter and ended up in some storefronts across from the post office that were empty. She said the children did not harm anything but just needed a warm place to play. She stated because there were no adults present, this could have turned into a bad situation. This example shows how much community facilities are needed. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4a) Title: Special study session meeting minutes of June 16, 2025 Page 9 Council Member Farris stated The Rec Center has hockey, but there are no basketball courts available in the winter - only during the summer. She would like this discussion to be part of a study session, and added that this is personal to her. Council Member Dumalag stated it would be helpful if this study session topic were resubmitted with this conversation included, so it does not get lost, and so all can agree to it. Ms. Keller offered that the supplemental material provided to council could be attached to the study session topic in lieu of resubmitting. Mayor Mohamed agreed this study session topic could be addressed after the visioning process is finalized. Ms. Cruver stated that different cities provide these services in different ways, and St. Louis Park collaborates with schools to use their facilities. She added staff could explore this for more information on the contractual relationship between the city and schools, while Vision 4.0 progresses. Ms. Walsh added that, in the meantime, she can get all of the information related to indoor and outdoor school spaces that the city uses. Council Member Farris stated that this would be helpful. Ms. Walsh added also that the Vision 4.0 process will be important to see what comes up related to community facilities. Council Member Rog stated this discussion can wait until the visioning process is completed, but she does not want to wait too long to discuss this. Checking for consensus, Ms. Keller summarized that this topic will be folded into strategic planning, as it relates to relevant topics, instead of a separate study session. Mayor Mohamed asked what would happen if the community facilities topic does not come up in the Vision 4.0 process. Ms. Keller stated the council would need to have a conversation to decide whether they still wanted to pursue it. Council Member Baudhuin added he would want to discuss this further, whether or not it comes up in the Vision 4.0 process.

Council Member Rog stated she feels her “Polish heart full of pride” with this proclamation. She shared that her father was a Polish immigrant and the Polish culture was a large part of her childhood. She expressed her pleasure and pride, stating that she will attend the event and looks forward to it. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4b) Page 2 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 7, 2025 b.

She stated staff will explore further options by revisiting the Request for Proposal (RFP) to revise and put it back out for bid. Council Member Rog stated that when putting together the new RFP, she hopes staff will seek to preserve the services that residents currently enjoy; convenient, quality-of-life services such as free compost, discounted wood chips, and free brush drop-off sites. She noted that with budget constraints, sometimes services are removed. In this case, the end-user is important and she is hopeful that the RFP will still include yard waste services made available to residents in the future. It was moved by Council Member Budd, seconded by Council Member Baudhuin, to approve the consent items as listed; and to waive reading of all resolutions and ordinances. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4b) Page 3 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 7, 2025 The motion passed 6-0 (Council Member Dumalag absent). 6. Public hearings – none. 7. Regular business a. First reading of ordinance amending city code chapter 2 regarding school board member seats on boards and commissions Mr. Coleman presented the staff report. He noted the policy consideration: Does the council wish to proceed with the ordinance amendments proposed to the city code chapter 2 regarding boards and commissions? He explained the amendments proposed reflect the transition of school board-appointed positions to regular member positions on boards and commissions. Mr. Coleman noted the following commissions have current school board-appointed positions: • Community Technology Advisory Commission has one position • Human Rights Commission has one position • Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission has three positions • Planning Commission has one position Mr. Coleman explained the new approach and proposed amendments. He noted that the school district leadership proposed transitioning away from having designated, voting school board members serving in appointed seats on city advisory boards and commissions. Instead, school board representatives would attend commission meetings as needed or as appropriate. Mr. Coleman presented the proposed amendments: • Eliminate existing provisions specifying that a set number of positions on the affected boards are to be appointed by the school board. • Reassign those seats as city council-appointed positions, 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. Mr. Coleman stated that all current members appointed by the school board will have the option to continue their service and be officially appointed by the city council through the established application and appointment process. Official appointments will be made at or before the city council meeting on Sept. 2, 2025. Council Member Rog asked what information motivated the timeline. Mr. Coleman stated that the bulk of the work will happen from late July through August, 2025. Appointments will need to be finalized by the end of August 2025, with recommendations made to the city council. Council Member Rog asked if those currently serving will be terminated immediately. Mr. Coleman stated all who are currently serving in these positions have been notified of the entire transition plan and staff would begin working with members interested in continuing their service. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4b) Page 4 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 7, 2025 Council Member Rog stated she is not comfortable with terminating those serving immediately, especially if they had been working on projects or ad hoc committees. She asked if the proposed liaisons would be district staff and not residents. Mr. Coleman confirmed that liaisons would be members of the administrative staff of the school district Mayor Mohamed asked if anyone currently in one of these positions is actively working on projects. Mr. Coleman stated yes, noting he is aware of those who are currently working on projects. Ms. Brodeen clarified that there will be a transition period for those who are currently serving. Mr. Coleman noted that those currently serving in one of these positions do have the opportunity to reapply for the seats they are currently serving in. Council Member Budd asked how the new term limits affect the eligibility of those currently serving, and in the case of the one appointee who has served for over 20 years, whether they would be ineligible to reapply due to the term limits. Mr. Coleman said they would not be considered ineligible. The term limits apply to city council-appointed positions. Council Member Rog asked for clarification on those currently serving. She asked if they will be rotated out by Sept. 2, 2025, or if they have the option to stay on and would only vacate their position if they choose. Ms. Brodeen stated that is correct. They have the option to reapply through the city’s application and appointment process. Council Member Rog asked if those appointed in 2024 for a term that began in 2022 would be eligible for a four-year term. Ms. Brodeen stated yes, adding they would be eligible for two more full terms as well. Council Member Budd asked if the language in the codes can be standardized. Council Member Baudhuin asked for clarification on the inconsistencies Council Member Budd is referring to. Council Member Budd pointed out that the inconsistencies involve Community Technology Advisory Committee (CTAC) youth members being listed as a single member, while in other sections, it refers to two seats. She also mentioned that the term “expiration dates” is used inconsistently, and some parts refer to articles that specify the process will be filled by individuals who show interest by submitting city forms, whereas other sections do not. Additionally, she noted that the Planning Commission did not exclude all of the school board appointment procedures, and she identified these as the areas of inconsistency within the policy. Council Member Rog stated that in the code, there is no mention of the school liaison board model, and that is recommended by staff within the code. Mr. Coleman agreed that is correct. Council Member Rog stated she would like to make a motion to proceed with the proposed ordinance amendments and to further revise the code to include language that shows school involvement as a preferred criterion for one seat on each of the following commissions: Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC), CTAC, Human Rights Commission (HRC) and Planning Commission. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4b) Page 5 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 7, 2025 Council Member Rog explained that city school partnerships are long-standing and important in this community, as evidenced by referendums that have passed by over 70% related to recreation spaces that are shared. She noted that about 20% of households have school-aged children. In her view, that is an important factor in what has made St. Louis Park a welcoming place to live, work and go to school. Council Member Rog stated that being at the table when ideas come up is important in how things are planned and unfold. Sometimes, this occurs in ways that are hard to identify. The St. Louis Park school community has been formally engaged on our boards and commissions since 1956, and added there was an intention in that, and it has resulted in good things over the years. Recently, factors have caused this partnership to be diminished, including staffing changes and COVID-19. She noted that the school district and school leadership are stressed and overburdened right now because of all they have to deal with. Council Member Rog stated she understands board members and leadership not having the bandwidth to find and appoint people. She added it does not feel prudent to completely abandon this decades-old commitment, especially with such a short timeframe to review the potential impacts. The council can preserve the original intention and make it even better by having criteria for school involvement and engagement with the community through parents, teachers, volunteers, administrators and early childhood professionals. Council Member Rog stated that the pool of potential candidates could be considered members of the four commissions under discussion, thereby elevating the importance of school committee partnerships by having that voice be at the table for every meeting. Council Member Rog stated her motion is to revise the code to include language that school involvement be a preferred criterion for one seat on each of the commissions. Council Member Rog thanked the council and staff for continuing to work together to make the city’s boards and commissions the most relevant and impactful they can be. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is in favor of this intention, but asked if this is the job of the ordinance and should staff set this as a precedent. Mr. Coleman stated this criteria does not currently exist in the city code. The council could create criteria related to selection policy that has not existed before. Ms. Brodeen added that typically, criteria of this nature is not included in the city code, and recommended the council consider this with the board and commissions selection processes that are already in place. Mayor Mohamed stated she appreciates Council Member Rog’s rationale here, understands the importance of the city’s relationship with the school board and school district, and stated the community is better for it. However, she does not believe this needs to be written into city code. She stated it would better serve as part of the selection criteria, as with other boards and commissions. Therefore, she will not support the motion presented by Council Member Rog. Council Member Baudhuin thanked Council Member Rog for bringing this forward, but stated he wants the code to be as flexible as possible. He stated he understands but is not sure that city code is the place for this intention and he will also vote no on this motion. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4b) Page 6 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 7, 2025 Council Member Budd stated she is in favor of Council Member Rog’s motion, noting that sometimes the criteria within the process do not meet importance. The proposed approach gives flexibility and is a good compromise. Council Member Brausen added that it is an important criterion, but should not be codified so that theoretically, someone could sue the city and say they had school involvement, but that the council appointed someone else. He stated this issue could trigger litigation, as opposed to informing the criteria for selection. Council Member Farris stated she agrees with Council Member Brausen and noted the council does a good job with the selection criteria, and she will not support the motion. It was moved by Council Member Rog, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to include language that states school involvement as a preferred criterion for the four seats in question. The motion failed 2-4 (Mayor Mohamed, Council Members Baudhuin, Budd, Farris opposed; Council Member Dumalag absent). It was moved by Council Member Budd, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to approve the first reading of an ordinance amending various sections of Ch. 2 of the city code to reflect the transition of school board-appointed members to regular members and to direct staff to address specific areas of inconsistency and verbiage around members and any other general inconsistencies throughout the code where any underlying intention is the same, and to set the second reading for July 21, 2025. The motion passed 6-0 (Council Member Dumalag absent). 8. Communications and announcements. Ms. Keller noted upcoming events that can be found on the city website, including the Bossa Soul concert series which will be held on July 9 and 11, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Amphitheater; Rollin' @ the Roc to be held on July 10, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.; and Basketball in the Park on July 10, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Ainsworth Park. Council Member Budd added she was involved in setting up at the Westwood Nature Center for the Trail of Small Wonders event, and added it was a great event for all. 9. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 7:06 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, city clerk Nadia Mohamed, mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 4, 2025 Minutes: 4c Unofficial meeting minutes City council special study session St. Louis Park, Minnesota July 7, 2025 The meeting convened at 7:14 p.m. Council members present: Paul Baudhuin, Tim Brausen, Sue Budd, Yolanda Farris, Margaret Rog, Mayor Nadia Mohamed Council members absent: Lynette Dumalag Staff present: City manager (Ms. Keller), administrative services director (Ms. Brodeen), city clerk (Ms. Kennedy), HR director (Ms. Vorpahl) Discussion item 1. City council salaries Ms. Kennedy presented the staff report. Ms. Kennedy noted the policy considerations are: • Does the city council want to propose an increase to the annual salary for mayor and councilmembers beginning in 2026? • If so, does the city council want to propose a salary adjustment, and what is the target percentage or dollar amount of the increase? Ms. Kennedy stated that on June 2, 2025, the city council reviewed a proposed agenda topic related to the annual salaries for the mayor and council members and directed staff to place the item on an upcoming agenda for additional discussion. Minnesota Statute 415.11 states that the council sets its salary in such an amount that it deems reasonable. St. Louis Park Home Rule Charter Section 2.07 provides that the council shall set and may increase or decrease the salaries of the mayor and council members by ordinance. Any increase in salaries must take effect after the next municipal election. Ms. Kennedy reviewed the current practice for adjustments to council salaries as provided by ordinance and resolution adopted by council. The current practice has been in place since 2015 and provides a mechanism for automatic adjustments to council salaries every two years in an amount that aligns with increases received by non-union employees. She stated that if no additional action is taken by the council, the next salary adjustment is projected to be 6% for 2026-2027. Ms. Kennedy noted the current annual salary for the mayor and council members is $20,842 and $14,413, respectively. This is a cumulative amount reflecting work for both their Economic Development Authority (EDA) and city council member roles. Ms. Kennedy added that any increase beyond the automatic salary adjustment projected for 2026-27 would require additional funds to be allocated in the budget and should be handled as a budget request. She stated the scheduled standard increase for 2026 is included in the base budget, as are all projected personnel costs. She noted that to prepare a budget request, City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4c) Page 2 Title: Special study session minutes of July 7, 2025 finance staff needs the council to identify a proposed percentage or dollar increase so the impact can be factored into budget planning. Council Member Rog asked if EDA salaries exist in any other cities. Ms. Kennedy stated of the 26 cities staff reviewed for comparison, not all have an EDA or an HRA. Of the cities that do, the salary is reported as one amount and is not broken out by role. Council Member Baudhuin clarified that if no action is taken, an automatic 6% increase in council member salaries will take place in 2026. Ms. Kennedy stated that is correct. Council Member Rog stated she was one of the members who proposed this topic for discussion. She explained that based on her experience and what she has observed, council members deserve to get paid more. She stated she is leaving the city council before a salary increase would take effect, and no one asked her to submit a salary increase for consideration. The discussion about council salaries is about elevating the professionalism of the role of councilmember and increasing the pool of candidates who could run for her position or other city council positions in the future. She noted salary figures influence the perceived value of the position and the people who hold it and reflect the commitment that is required. Council Member Rog stated she appreciated the data staff presented on comparable cities, adding this is an important part, but not the whole. She stated the council will need to be sure they gather the best data possible. She shared that in her own research, cities with salaries in the lower range were more traditional in their city council member makeup. She gave the examples of Roseville, Savage and Shoreview city councils, each of which had mostly white and mostly male council members. Council Member Rog shared that cities with higher salaries, such as Burnsville, Minnetonka, Maplewood and Maple Grove, appeared to have more women and people of color on city councils - as well as more female mayors - than other cities. Council Member Rog continued that, not surprisingly, smaller salaries can make it hard for people supporting families to run for office and serve effectively. Research suggests this may limit the pool of candidates on the basis of financial capacity. The result is that serving on a city council is only open to those wealthy enough to afford to serve. Higher salaries might encourage people to run for office; people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds who might otherwise face financial constraints to run. Council Member Rog added that security is a new consideration and that salary increases could address those needs on some level. An additional $300 to $500 per month could also help cover childcare and transportation costs. The additional pay might also allow people to work fewer shifts, consider implementing security measures, and provide more financial flexibility. Council Member Rog added she would also propose that council members have more professional development opportunities. She detailed the need for enhanced onboarding and other activities of value to elected officials and the community in terms of preparation and experience. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4c) Page 3 Title: Special study session minutes of July 7, 2025 Council Member Farris agreed with Council Member Rog’s comments and shared some of her own experiences as a new councilmember who works multiple jobs. Council Member Baudhuin stated he feels a bit uncomfortable with voting for salary increases in the middle of his first term. However, the more he serves as a council member, he sees it is designed for a specific class of person and service is unattainable for many. Right now, St. Louis Park council member salaries are not at the top of the 26 comparable cities. He added that St. Louis Park tends to be a leader and stand out. Council Member Baudhuin stated he appreciates the comments from Council Member Rog. He would like the council to consider and study what it means to compensate for childcare and a missed shift at work in order to serve. He would love to see St. Louis Park be a leader in the metro area and make service more accessible to everyone. These are the tough things the council needs to review, especially when taking a hard look at race, equity and inclusion. Mayor Mohamed stated that initially, she wanted to review salaries because it can be difficult to serve when you have a job. However, she wants to be careful with this discussion and cautioned council not to put people of color at the center of the discussion regarding salaries. She stated many issues and factors related to equity and barriers to service should be looked at closely and a part of this conversation. Council Member Baudhuin clarified he did not want to exclusively make this issue about people of color, but about people for whom elected service is a financial constraint. Council Member Farris added that the money is important for her, and shared that she currently holds three jobs. She noted that the council onboarding process was very different for her and she wished there had been more resources available. She needed to listen and learn, and at that time, she was not familiar with city government. She appreciates staff and their support, but onboarding needs to be different when bringing new people on the council. Ms. Kennedy stated that staff is in the process of creating a very robust onboarding program that will be utilized to onboard newly elected officials in 2025. She noted staff are aware of the gaps and the need for more support to effectively onboard officials and to make more resources available on demand to build knowledge and confidence in decision-making. Council Member Budd stated the presentation comparing data from 26 cities was very informative, and that St. Louis Park appears to be above average on council member salaries. Council Member Budd noted that with an additional $300 to $500 per month, St. Louis Park would offer the highest-paid salary for mayor. She pointed out how by order of population, St. Louis Park is positioned in the middle, but their salaries are at the top of the range. She noted that Council Member Rog’s analysis of diversity on city councils was interesting and aligned with salaries. She stated this issue is sensitive and she would lean toward accepting the 6% increase only. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4c) Page 4 Title: Special study session minutes of July 7, 2025 Mayor Mohamed summarized Council Member Dumalag’s comments in support of an increase beyond 6% due to the complexity of issues that the council must consider. She expressed interest in a 15% increase for salaries. Council Member Brausen stated he is supportive of the salary increase, but added it is hard to enact since an increase appears to be very self-serving. However, the decision is not about this specific council, but about future councils. He stated increasing the salaries provides an opportunity to increase the applicant pool, noting he identifies as an older person of privilege who can afford to take a job like this and not worry about the paycheck. Council Member Brausen stated this discussion is about creating an environment where more people are willing and able to serve. He agreed that an increase in the range of $300 to $500 per month makes good sense. He stated the city is blessed that this council is diverse, and residents want people from all walks of life to serve on the city council. He supports raising salaries and the 6% increase for 2026, and then resetting and sticking to cumulative adjustments going forward. Council Member Budd reiterated that if the council were to approve $26,800 for the mayor’s salary, St. Louis Park would offer the highest mayoral pay in comparison with other cities. Council Member Rog stated she appreciates this conversation. She stated she recognizes the risks, especially from public opinion, but appreciates this interaction. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is struggling with not having a thorough equity analysis completed for this topic if one of the main motivations for council to make this change is to make elected service more equitable. He is hesitant to go forward with a salary increase and has concerns about pushback, especially without analysis. He would want to look at how this topic has been studied and how it should be structured. Ms. Brodeen stated that staff do utilize impact analyses tools that could be facilitated with the council’s participation at a future meeting. Ms. Kennedy stated there are studies that contemplate gender and socio-economic status in relation to accessibility to elected roles, but added it is difficult to information or data that directly correlates pay to variables such as number of candidates running for office, as they are multi-layered and multi-faceted and can be impacted by many different things. Council Member Brausen observed that over the years, there has been feedback from those wanting to serve on boards and commissions that there are financial challenges to participating. Mayor Mohamed added that the conversation around the words “public servants” makes it difficult as well, as some may think council members are here to serve and not to receive pay. Council Member Brausen asked if other cities provide council members with employment benefits. Ms. Vorpahl stated that most cities do not provide benefits, and that those that do build the total dollar amount into a council member’s salary. She stated she could research benefits and bring more information back to the council if requested. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4c) Page 5 Title: Special study session minutes of July 7, 2025 Council Member Rog stated that she is comfortable with a meaningful increase but would hesitate to go to the highest position in the metro. She stated $500 per month is too much, but noted that for those with financial barriers, she does feel an increase is important and helps to grow the candidate pool over time. However, she does not want to create issues and wants to be mindful of optics. She stated she is comfortable with a more modest increase that is still meaningful. Council Member Budd stated she would like to change her position on salaries to not to exceed a 15% increase, which would not move St. Louis Park to the top of the salary category. Council Member Baudhuin stated he is in favor of increasing the annual salary for mayor and council members and agrees with the maximum 15% increase. He stated he wants to continue to look at this issue and study it further as well. Council Member Brausen stated that the City of Minnetonka pays their council members $18,000 per year, and St. Louis Park would be $1,500 per year less. He noted he is not as concerned about the optics of being at the top as this is about adjusting, adding he would prefer to adjust now versus later, especially if the real intent is to decrease barriers. Council Member Rog asked if her fellow council members had communicated with cohorts in neighboring cities about salary increases. Mayor Mohamed noted that several cities are discussing the topic or have discussed in recent years. Council Member Rog pointed out that the proposed 15% is only 9% higher than the 6% automatic increase. She asked if this data could be presented by staff on paper, along with comparisons to other cities. Ms. Keller stated if the council were to consider the 15% increase, the annual council member’s salary would be $16,575 and the mayor’s salary would be $23,968. This increase would place the city third within the comparable cities for 2025. Mayor Mohamed stated she would prefer to see a dollar increase versus a percentage increase. Following additional discussion and review of percentage increases, the council directed, for budgeting purposes, to propose an increase to the annual salary for mayor and council members beginning in 2026. The proposed increase would reflect a $23,500 salary for the mayor, and a $18,000 salary for council members, for 2026 through 2027. Council Member Budd was not in agreement and Council Member Dumalag was absent. Ms. Keller stated that staff will include these numbers in the next budget conversation for council at which time they can be amended. Staff will also work to schedule time for council to complete an impact analysis on the topic before a final decision is made. The meeting adjourned at 8:34 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, city clerk Nadia Mohamed, mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 4, 2025 Minutes: 4d Unofficial minutes City council meeting St. Louis Park, Minnesota July 21, 2025 1.

She congratulated Mr. Hunt and wished him a wonderful retirement at his family cabin in Wisconsin. Council Member Baudhuin shared that he had met Mr. Hunt many years ago as a pastor at Mr. Hunt’s church. When he came onto the city council, Council Member Baudhuin recalled that Mr. Hunt provided instruction on many aspects of the city, for which he was thankful. Council Member Baudhuin congratulated Mr. Hunt on his long career, observing that he does things with honesty and integrity both in his city role and in his life outside of his work. Council Member Baudhuin wished him well in his retirement. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4d) Page 2 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 21, 2025 Council Member Budd expressed her appreciation for all of Mr. Hunt's efforts and complimented him on his work with the city, as well as his trustworthiness in representing the city for these many years. Council Member Rog thanked Mr. Hunt for his work and noted the large projects he has worked on throughout the years, especially his work with grants and the city’s small businesses. She wished him all the best. Council Member Dumalag congratulated Mr. Hunt on his accomplishments over the years and thanked him for his work with small business owners. Council Member Farris congratulated Mr. Hunt on his many years of good work. Over the years, she recalled how he helped her to understand Tax Increment Financing (TIF). She thanked him and wished him all the best. Council Member Brausen stated he has been on the council for 12 years and has worked with Mr. Hunt for many of them. Mr. Hunt has been a professional, competent ambassador for the city to the business community. He noted Mr. Hunt has been a proponent of utilizing TIF to advance development, which he has always supported. He also complimented Mr. Hunt on his willingness to sometimes say no to developers. Council Member Brausen wished him the best in his retirement with his grandchildren. Mr. Hunt thanked the city council for their kind words, stating he is honored and humbled. He thanked his family and colleagues for their support and extended his gratitude to the city council and previous councils for their faith in staff related to various development projects brought forward over the years. He thanked the council for their courage to approve projects, as well as the financial assistance needed to bring them to fruition. He stated it was not always easy, but the council’s trust in staff meant a great deal and was very much appreciated. He also thanked the developers and businesses who chose to invest in St. Louis Park and construct projects that have helped transform the city. He thanked the community for its patience and support of economic development through the years. Mr. Hunt stated that during his tenure at St. Louis Park, he kept a line of scripture in his office. He compared the line to the changes he has seen in the city over the years, observing that the city has boldly chosen to invest in itself, and he would like to think the city’s work has brought prosperity to its people. Mr. Hunt shared that during his tenure, he had the honor of helping to facilitate projects with a total value of over $1.5 billion. This was accomplished while mitigating contaminated sites, helping small businesses – which helped to create hundreds of new jobs - and substantially increasing the city’s tax base while providing a wide variety of housing for local residents. He summarized that all of these accomplishments have helped to support the city’s AAA bond rating. Mr. Hunt stated that this is something for all to be proud of, adding that this recognition is not all about him, but about everyone who helped bring these projects to fruition through the years. City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4d) Page 3 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 21, 2025 Mr. Hunt stated St. Louis Park is a very special community, and it has been an honor of a lifetime for him to serve the city, its businesses and residents. The economic development division is in good and capable hands, and he has every confidence they will accomplish good things going forward. Mr. Hunt stated he looks forward to what the future holds and added he and his wife are looking forward to becoming grandparents for the first time, and travelling to see their grandchildren. Mr. Hunt thanked the city council and wished all the best to St. Louis Park. 4. Minutes – none. 5. Consent items. a. Resolution No. 25-077 recognizing Greg Hunt for over 23 years of service b. Resolution No. 25-078 accepting the 2024 audit and approving the annual financial report c. Approve maintenance agreement with Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for Commercial Street Rehabilitation Project 4025-1050 - Ward 2 d. Resolution No. 25-079 authorizing grant agreement for the Minnetonka Boulevard Twin Homes Development - Ward 1 e. Second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2695-25 amending city code chapter 2 regarding boards and commissions Council Member Rog asked to comment on consent item 5e. She stated she tried to shift how the school districts are described in city code, and while the action was not taken up by the rest of the council, she still feels strongly about this and hopes that this important connection will be codified somehow. She is disappointed this topic was not discussed more. Council Member Rog stated she heard from the council that there is a way to make sure school representation is present within boards and commissions. She stated St. Louis Park schools need to be at the table with the council in every way, and going forward, she is hoping that staff find other ways to ensure this happens whenever possible. Council Member Brausen referenced consent item 5b and stated that though he was not at the meeting when it was discussed, he did review the 2024 financial audit report in detail. He complimented the report, stating it accurately and clearly summarizes the financial condition of the city. He noted that this audit report is completed each year and is available for residents to review online. Council Member Brausen added that the city has been recognized in the past for the quality of its audits, and he hopes this work continues. He also thanked finance staff and administration for all their hard work in putting this report together and completing the audit. Council Member Baudhuin added his comments on item 5b as well. He stated that financial audits are not passed quickly and noted there was a robust conversation surrounding this at the City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 4d) Page 4 Title: City council meeting minutes of July 21, 2025 study session. A thorough report was presented by city staff and the finance department. He noted that through the audit, there have been improvements in how the report comes back to council, and this is something the council looks at very closely before approving. He thanked the finance staff for their great work. It was moved by Council Member Budd, seconded by Council Member Brausen, to approve the consent items as listed; and to waive reading of all resolutions and ordinances. The motion passed 7-0. 6. Public hearings – none. 7. Regular business – none. 8. Communications and announcements. Mayor Mohamed stated that the only item on the special study session agenda was a written report entitled “Development update - 3rd quarter 2025.” As there are no policy questions requiring discussion on the report, the report is noted during the communications and announcements. Council Member Budd stated she appreciated the report. She added it is highly informative regarding the work the city has done on inclusionary housing. Although there are no units under construction currently, there is major construction that will happen during the third quarter of 2025. Ms. Keller noted that there is new playground equipment coming to Bronx Park. On Sept. 2, 2025, playground equipment will be removed from Ainsworth Park and new playground equipment installed there the following week. This is part of the city’s regular park equipment upgrade program, which the council approves each year. The community has a participation process by which they select the structures themselves. Council Member Brausen noted the West End Chalk Festival will be held on July 25-26, and he invited residents to attend. Council Member Rog added that on July 29, candidate filings will open for residents interested in running for the city council or the school board, adding that the filing period closes on Aug. 12, 2025. She stated there is detailed information on the city website. Council Member Rog also noted that July 29, 2025, is the deadline for National Night Out registration, which can be done on the city website. National Night Out is Tuesday, Aug. 5, and if residents want a street closure or public safety to visit an event, they are asked to register. 9. Adjournment. The meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m. ______________________________________ ______________________________________ Melissa Kennedy, city clerk Nadia Mohamed, mayor Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 4, 2025 Consent agenda item: 5a Executive summary Title: Approve city disbursements Recommended action: Motion to approve city disbursement claims for the period of June 24 through July 21, 2025.

Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A. Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to accept the lowest bid for the sale of the Charter G.O. Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 205A? Summary: At the July 14, 2025 city council meeting, the council authorized the sale of 2025A Charter G.O. Utility Revenue Bonds in the amount of $850,000 and received the pre-sale report for the series. The proposed issue includes financing for the watermain construction that is a part of the Cedar Louisiana Road Improvement project. On July 31, 2025, S&P Global (Standard and Poor’s) affirmed the city’s AAA credit rating. The competitive bids for the bonds will be received and tabulated by the city’s municipal advisor, Ehlers and Associates, Inc. on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025. Ehlers will provide the competitive bids received and a recommendation to the city council for the city council meeting on Aug. 4, 2025; the bond resolution will be updated with the final bond sale information prior to the city council meeting. The bonds count against the Net Debt Limit of 3% of the estimated market value of taxable property in the city, which is currently $292.466 million. Including this bond issue, the city has $40.775 million in outstanding debt that counts against this limit. This leaves approximately $248 million in unused debt limit for the city. Financial or budget considerations: Debt service will be paid from utility fee revenue. The expected annual debt service will be just over $80,000. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Each bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case the bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2026, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not such day is a business day. 2.03.

The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the city and the registrar with respect thereto are as follows: (a)Register. The registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the registrar provides for the registration of ownership of bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b)Transfer of bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by Page 3 City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 5c) Title: Resolution providing for the sale of $915,000 in General Obligation Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. (c)Exchange of bonds. When bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing. (d)Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by the registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the city. (e)Improper or unauthorized transfer. When a bond is presented to the registrar for transfer, the registrar may refuse to transfer the bond until the registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (f)Persons deemed owners. The city and the registrar may treat the person in whose name a bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the bond, whether the bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g)Taxes, fees and charges. The registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of bonds sufficient to reimburse the registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange. (h)Mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed bonds. If a bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the registrar will deliver a new bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the city and the registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the registrar will be cancelled by the registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the city. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new bond prior to payment. Page 4 City council meeting of August 4, 2025 (Item No. 5c) Title: Resolution providing for the sale of $915,000 in General Obligation Utility Revenue Bonds, Series 2025A (i)Redemption. In the event any of the bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof identifying the bonds to be redeemed will be given by the registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first-class mail (postage prepaid) at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date to the registered owner of each bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time. 2.04. Appointment of initial registrar. The city appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial registrar. The mayor and the city manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the city, a contract with the registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor registrar. The city agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the registrar for the services performed. The city reserves the right to remove the registrar upon thirty (30) days’ notice and upon the appointment of a successor registrar, in which event the predecessor registrar must deliver all cash and bonds in its possession to the successor registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of the city council, the finance director of the city must transmit to the registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due. 2.05. Execution, authentication and delivery. The bonds will be prepared under the direction of the city manager and executed on behalf of the city by the signatures of the mayor and the city manager, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of a bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the registrar. Certificates of authentication on different bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the city manager will deliver the same to the purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.

Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to accept the gift with restrictions on its use? Summary: State statute requires city council’s acceptance of donations. This requirement is necessary in order to make sure the city council has knowledge of any restrictions placed on the use of each donation prior to it being expended. MNPELRA is graciously donating up to $250 for conference registration for Rita Vorpahl, HR director, to attend the upcoming 2025 MNPELRA summer conference. Ms. Vorpahl would attend this educational event with other labor relations and human resources professionals around the state. The conference features a variety of timely and relevant sessions including Minnesota state family paid leave, updates on new employment laws, current information on bargaining and other HR/LR topics. The city attorney has reviewed this matter. His opinion is that state law permits the payment of such expenses by this organization, regardless of whether the funds come from primary or secondary sources. The donation is treated as a gift to the city and needs to be a resolution adopted by the city council determining that attendance at this event serves a public purpose and accepting the gift. The resolution needs to be adopted before the conference is attended. Financial or budget considerations: This donation will be used toward the expenses incurred by Rita Vorpahl’s attendance at the 2025 MNPELRA conference held Aug. 6 through 8, 2025, in Duluth, Minnesota. Strategic priority consideration: Not applicable.

Summary: The City of St. Louis Park will collaborate with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) on the development and submission of grant applications supporting the sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement project.

The program will help city staff understand, identify, and apply for grant funding for a two-part sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement project. City staff can expect to hear back in one to two months. The City of St. Louis Park is proposing a two-part sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement project. The first part involves replacing a deteriorated sewer line currently located beneath Westwood Lake. This line, over 60 years old, poses a significant environmental risk if it fails, potentially contaminating Westwood Lake, Bassett Creek, Theodore Wirth Park and the Mississippi River. The replacement will reroute the sewer line outside the lake to prevent such risks. The second part of the project includes replacing Lift Station No. 7 and upsizing the associated forcemain. This infrastructure is located near a contaminated Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site. The upgrades aim to meet current demands and accommodate future development. Present considerations: The project is currently in the pre-design phase, which is an early stage of development. At this point, the city has identified critical infrastructure needs and outlined the scope of work. While detailed engineering and design work have not yet begun, the project has a clearly defined purpose and is moving toward preliminary engineering and planning, pending funding and further approvals. Next steps: Staff will work with SEH to submit an application to the LMC Grant Navigator program. One to two months after submission, city staff will be notified if the city’s application was successful.

Whereas, the program is limited to providing services to help obtain grant funding for one project per city. Whereas, the program is limited to providing support in obtaining grant funding, and LMC does not provide funds to implement projects. Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park wishes to apply to the program to for support in finding grant funding for the two-part sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement project (“project”). Whereas, the city recognizes that if approved, any funds received through the program must be used in a manner consistent with the conditions above as well as all other conditions or limitations of the program. Be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota as follows: 1. The city names Austin Holm, Utilities Superintendent as its fiscal agent for the purposes of applying to the program on behalf of the city. 2. The city authorizes the fiscal agent to act on its behalf when communicating with LMC in all matters related to the program application for the project. 3. If the city is awarded a grant under the program, it agrees to use the funds to engage with industry partners who will aid in the grant matching and application process consistent with the terms and conditions of the program. 4. If a state, federal, foundation or nonprofit grant match is not found, or is applied to but not awarded, the city will seek feedback on why the project was not eligible and report back to the LMC with these findings consistent with the terms and conditions of the program. 5. If a state, federal, foundation or nonprofit grant is awarded, a project assessment will be submitted to LMC within six months of the application's approval and then periodically until after project completion consistent with the terms and conditions of the program.

Policy consideration: Does the council approve the Arrive + Thrive gateway plans to guide future development around light rail stations and west Excelsior Boulevard? Summary: Since 2023, the city has been working on the Arrive + Thrive project to create gateway plans for the areas around the three METRO Green Line Extension light rail stations: Beltline Boulevard, Wooddale Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, and the commercial corridor of Excelsior Boulevard west of Highway 100. Collectively, these areas ma ke up the “gateways” analyzed in the Arrive + Thrive plan. These gateway plans provide an opportunity to further the vision of these areas while utilizing the city’s strategic priorities as a planning framework. The project set out to not only create a planning document, but to emphasize implementation and track progress and successes. The city council was asked to consider and review the Arrive + Thrive gateway plans document on July 14, 2025. No comments were received from the council prior to the writing of this report. The council is now asked to approve the gateway plans as direction for future development and infrastructure in the gateway areas. Staff will work to establish an online implementation tracker for the plans. The gateway plans will help inform future policy decisions and help prioritize future projects within the gateway areas. Financial or budget considerations: The Arrive + Thrive gateway plans include a number of recommendations; many of these actions will require staff time, city resources and possibly dedicated funding to implement over the next 20 years. However, approving the plans does not obligate this or future city councils to any specific projects, actions or outlays. The plans will help guide and inform later decisions.

However, there has not been a lining project in the past two years due to an increase in sanitary sewer replacement needs on the city’s transportation projects. The 2025 sanitary sewer lining project plans were originally developed and advertised for bids in January 2025. Bids were opened on Feb. 4, 2025, and the lowest bid was 49% over budget. Based on staff recommendation, the city council rejected the bids, with the intent of amending the project scope as necessary and rebid the project. Staff reviewed the scope of the project earlier this year and repackaged the project scope to better align with the available Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) budget. The revised scope reduces the total length of sanitary sewer to be lined, while still addressing critical needs. It also includes one segment of storm sewer pipe identified by public works staff this spring as a high priority due to structural concerns and root intrusion. Lining the pipe will reinforce it and help prevent future blockages. To improve efficiency and avoid the need for a separate bid, this storm sewer work was incorporated into the current project. It will be funded through the stormwater utility operating budget. An advertisement for bids was published in the St. Louis Park Sun Sailor on June 26 and July 3, 2025, and in Finance & Commerce from June 26 through July 2, 2025. In addition, plans and specifications were made available electronically via the internet on the city’s OneOffice website. Information regarding the bidding opportunity was shared with three minority associations and 39 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) contractors. Nine contractors/vendors downloaded plan sets, one of which was a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). Financial considerations: Based on the low bid received, cost and funding details on the project are as follows: Costs CIP Low bid Construction cost – sanitary sewer $570,000 $565,265.00 Construction cost – storm sewer $53,558.00 Engineering and administration $30,000 $30,000.00 Total $600,000 $648,823.00 Funding sources Sanitary sewer utility $600,000 $595,265.00 Stormwater utility operating budget $0 $53,558.00 Total $600,000 $648,823.00 Due to the nature of construction projects, unexpected costs do come up. The capital funds have unobligated balances that can be used to handle cost overruns above and beyond the awarded bid. Next steps: All work in this contract shall be completed by May 1, 2026. Meeting: City council Meeting date: August 4, 2025 Consent agenda item: 5i Executive summary Title: Resolution authorizing parking restrictions in Walker Lake public parking areas - Ward 1 Recommended action: Motion to adopt a resolution authorizing permit parking restrictions for the Lake Street businesses’ parking area in the Historic Walker Lake District. Policy consideration: Does the city council support the proposed permit parking restrictions for Lake Street businesses’ parking area? Summary: The city was contacted by the Walker Lake Business Association in December 2024 requesting parking restrictions on the Lake Street businesses’ parking area. The association has been experiencing an increase in all-day parking during the school year that limits parking availability for patrons and staff of the adjacent businesses. The 85 parking stalls are utilized by a combination of business patrons, staff and students. The proximity to St. Louis park High School makes this a convenient parking area for students. Staff has engaged representatives from the Walker Lake Business Association and St. Louis Park High School to understand their parking needs to allow the most flexibility for these public parking areas. The traffic committee recommends restricting the parking to “2-hr Parking, 8 AM – 4 PM, M – F, Without Blue Permit”. This signage is similar to the on-street signage for streets north of the high school. These restrictions allow flexibility of the parking areas to be used for longer periods of time during evenings and weekends for community needs for the high school, nearby athletic fields and adjacent businesses. On-street parking along Lake Street will not be affected by the proposed parking restrictions. Blue permits will be issued to the businesses located at the following addresses: 6610 Lake Street, 6600 Lake Street, 6536 Lake Street, 6534 Lake Street, 6528 Lake Street, 6520 Lake Street, 6510 Lake Street, 6500 Lake Street, 6422 Lake Street, 6424 Lake Street, 6418 Lake Street, 6416 Lake Street, 6414 Lake Street and 3410 Dakota Avenue (one permit per staff member). The Walker Lake Businesses Association supports the traffic committee’s recommendation to implement parking restrictions on all 85 stalls in the area prior to school starting in September 2025. Staff will work with the businesses to provide blue permits for employees. Financial or budget considerations: The cost of installing the parking restriction signage is estimated to be $2,200 and will come out of the general operating budget. Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably.
