H: POLICY ITEMS:
1. Letter of Support for Pedestrian Improvements
City Engineer Freihammer explained that the City had recently received a request from
the City of Saint Paul to provide a letter of support for the regional solicitation application for improvements near the intersection of Hamline and Hoyt. If successful the project will be done in 2026. If awarded, federal grant funds will be used to cover 80% of the project cost.
Meyer inquired why the start date was in 2026. Freihammer responded that requesting federal funds takes time and therefore you typically need to apply early. The cities could start construction sooner but then wouldn’t
receive full funding.
Wehyee inquired on whether there would be a hearing to provide more information to the public.
Freihammer responded that the City would need to discuss and approve the plans before
work can start. Meyer inquired on whether there were any future street improvement plans that could conflict with this project.
Freihammer responded that this was unlikely as the proposed project consisted of minor geometric changes to the intersection. Wehyee confirmed there would be no assessments for property owners.
Freihammer confirmed it would be very unlikely due to the nature of the project. Motion by Council Member Wehyee to approve the letter of support;
Approved, 4-0.
I. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS: Meyer reported that the Environment Commission met recently and had an active
discussion about the climate action plan and the comprehensive plan. They will continue
to meet in subcommittees to discuss and he hoped to bring it back to council in the next month or two. Andrews reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission had been exploring
alternative methods of enhancing the existing summer programming.
Gustafson reported that Community Engagement Commission will meet next week and planned to finalize details for the Spring Together event. He also noted that staff was struggling to hire a Summer Program Coordinator.
Pittman reported that Xcel Energy would start work on Tatum and Lindig Street on Monday, April 18th. Public Works had also begun spring street sweeping. J. COMMUNITY FORUM:
Please limit comments to 3 minutes per person. Items brought before the Council will be referred for consideration. Council may ask questions for clarification, but no council
action or discussion will be held on these items.

A RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON REPORTING ON THE CORONAVIRUS LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUND ESTABLISHED UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
WHEREAS, since the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was discovered in the
United States in January 2020, the disease has infected over 32 million and killed over 575,000 Americans (“Pandemic”). The disease has impacted every part of life: as social distancing became a necessity, businesses closed, schools transitioned to remote education, travel was sharply reduced, and millions of Americans lost their jobs;
WHEREAS, as a result of the Pandemic, cities have been called on to respond to the needs of their communities through the prevention, treatment, and vaccination of COVID-19; and WHEREAS, city revenues, businesses and nonprofits in the city have faced economic impacts
due to the Pandemic; and WHEREAS, Congress adopted the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 (“ARPA”) which included $65 billion in recovery funds for cities across the country; and
WHEREAS, ARPA funds are intended to provide support to state, local, and tribal governments
in responding to the impact of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain COVID-19 in their communities, residents, and businesses; and WHEREAS, $604,112.20 has been allocated to the City of Falcon Heights of which the initial
distribution of $302,056.11 has already been received pursuant to the ARPA (“Allocation”); and WHEREAS, the United States Department of Treasury has adopted guidance regarding the use of ARPA funds; and
WHEREAS, the City, in response to the Pandemic, has had expenditures and anticipates future
expenditures consistent with the Department of Treasury’s ARPA guidance; and WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota will distribute ARPA funds to the City because its population is less than 50,000; and
WHEREAS, In May 0f 2021, the US department of Treasury (“Treasury”) published the Interim Final Rule describing eligible and ineligible uses of funds as well as other program provisions, sought feedback from the public on these program rules, and began to distribute funds; and
WHEREAS, On January 6, 2022, Treasury issued the final rule. The final rule delivers broader
flexibility and greater simplicity in the program, responsive to feedback in the comment process;
and WHEREAS, the final rule offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of up to $10 million, allowing recipients to select between a standard amount of revenue loss or complete a full
revenue loss calculation; and
WHEREAS, recipients that select the standard allowance may use that amount, in many cases their full award, for governmental services, with streamlined reporting requirements.
WHEREAS, the final rule allows for completion of the required report using the “No Projects
Verification” section with an explanation provided by the recipient. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota:
1. The City has previously elected to use the standard allowance available under the revenue loss provision of the American Rescue Plan Act in the amount of $604,112.20 to be used for the general provision of government services.
2 The City intends to use the “No Projects Verification” section of the report at this time
and provide an explanation as to not listing specific projects at this time. An appropriate explanation would be: 3 “The City has experienced significant revenue losses in the sanitary sewer operation due
to coronavirus. With the coronavirus continuing to impact city operations, the City
chooses to use its ARPA funds for general governmental services in the sanitary sewer operation; storm sewer maintenance and improvements; city operations; and infrastructure street and equipment maintenance and improvements.” Adopted by the City Council of City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota this twenty seventh day of April 2022. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
