6. Execution. The Bond shall be executed on behalf of the City by the manual or facsimile signatures of its Mayor and City Administrator, and be sealed with the seal of the City;
provided, as permitted by law, both signatures may be photocopied facsimiles and the corporate
seal has been omitted. In the event of disability or resignation or other absence of either officer, the Bond may be signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the officer who may act on behalf of the absent or disabled officer. In case either officer whose signature or facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the
Bond, the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the
same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery.
7. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. The Bond when so prepared and executed shall be delivered by the Finance Director to the Purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price and the Purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the proper application thereof.
8. Funds and Accounts. There is hereby established a special fund to be designated
the "General Obligation Improvement Bond, Series 2023A Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be maintained in the manner herein specified until the Bond and the interest thereon have been
fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the "Construction Account" and "Debt Service
Account":
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bond, plus any special assessments levied with respect to the Improvements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs
thereof. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the
Improvements including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in the Construction Account shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bond may also be used to the extent
necessary to pay interest on the Bond due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the
receipt of the collection of taxes or special assessments herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Improvements there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction Account, the balance (other than any special assessments) may be transferred to the Debt Service Account or the fund of any other
improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, and provided further that
any special assessments credited to the Construction Account shall only be applied towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council determining that the application of the special assessments for such purpose will not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
(b) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged
and shall be credited to the Debt Service Account; (i) all collections of special assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially credited to the Construction Account and not already spent a permitted above and required to pay any principal and interest due on the Bond or collected subsequent to the completion of the
Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (ii) all collections of taxes herein or hereafter
10
levied for the payment of the Bond and the interest thereon; (iii) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof;
(iv) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (v) any and all other
moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest on the Bond and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bond shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire
higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bond was issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bond or $100,000. To
this effect, any proceeds of the Bond and any sums from time to time held in the Construction
Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bond payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or
"minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bond to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
9. Special Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of each Improvement financed by the Bond within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefited by any of the
Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts
not heretofore let within one year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform, as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such
special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with
respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and the City Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all
further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien
upon such property.
The special assessments have heretofore been authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments,
including both principal and interest, with interest at a rate per annum set forth below:
11
Improvement Designation Levy Years Collection Years Amount
See Attached Exhibit A
At the time the special assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then current estimated collections of the special assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance
with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
10. Tax Levy; Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Bond there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as follows:
Levy Years Collection Years Amount
See Attached Exhibit A
The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assessments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bond, will produce
at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and
interest payments on the Bond. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as the Bond is outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3.
11. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and
interest on the Bond, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing
powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bond and any other certificates payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed
with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available
therein.
12. Defeasance. When the Bond has been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holder of the Bond shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligation with
respect to the Bond which is due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Registrar on or
before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if the Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligation with respect to the Bond called for redemption on any date when it is
prepayable according to its terms, by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full, provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to the Bond, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an
12
escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such
dates as shall be required, without regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to
become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
13. Certificate of Registration. A certified copy of this resolution is hereby directed to be filed with the County Auditor of Ramsey County, Minnesota, together with such other
information as the County Auditor shall require, and there shall be obtained from the County
Auditor a certificate that the Bond has been entered in the County Auditor's Bond Register, and that the tax levy required by law has been made.
14. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the
issuance of the Bond, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the
Bond and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bond as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
15. Compliance With Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the "reimbursement proceeds" of the Bond, being those portions thereof which will be used by the
City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the
closing date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure").
The City hereby certifies and/or covenants as follows:
(a) Not later than sixty days after the date of payment of a Reimbursement Expenditure, the City (or person designated to do so on behalf of the City) has made or will have
made a written declaration of the City's official intent (a "Declaration") which effectively (i)
states the City's reasonable expectation to reimburse itself for the payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure out of the proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; (ii) gives a general and functional description of the property, Improvements or program to which the Declaration relates and for which the Reimbursement Expenditure is paid, or identifies a specific fund or account of the City
and the general functional purpose thereof from which the Reimbursement Expenditure was to
be paid (collectively the "Improvements"); and (iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued by the City for the purpose of financing the Improvements; provided, however, that no such Declaration shall necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for the Improvements, defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to
include engineering or architectural, surveying and soil testing expenses and similar prefatory
costs, which in the aggregate do not exceed twenty percent of the "issue price" of the Bond, and (ii) a de minimis amount of Reimbursement Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or five percent of the proceeds of the Bond.
13
(b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of issuance of the Bond or any of the other types of expenditures described in Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the
Reimbursement Regulations.
(c) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations for each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will be made forthwith following (but not prior to) the issuance of the Bond, and not later than three years after the later of (i) the date of the payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure, or (ii) the date on which the Project to which the
Reimbursement Expenditure relates is first placed in service.
(d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences the City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if made within thirty days after the Bond is issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bond is issued.
Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing
covenants in this paragraph upon receipt of an opinion of its Bond Counsel for the Bond stating
in effect that such action will not impair the tax-exempt status of the Bond.
16. Negative Covenant as to Use of Proceeds and Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bond or to use the Improvements, or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the
Improvements, in such a manner as to cause the Bond to be "private activity bonds" within the
meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
17. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bond; Rebate. The City shall comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bond, including without limitation
(a) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (b) limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bond, and (c) the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States, if the Bond (together with other obligations reasonably expected to be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small issuer exception amount of $5,000,000.
For purposes of qualifying for the exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements
for governmental units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds, the City hereby finds, determines and declares that (a) the Bond is issued by a governmental unit with general taxing powers, (b) no Bond is a private activity bond, (c) ninety five percent or more of the net proceeds of the Bond are to be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the
jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (d) the aggregate face
amount of all tax exempt bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities thereof, and all entities treated as one issuer with the City) during the calendar year in which the Bond is issued and outstanding at one time is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code.
18. Designation of Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bond
as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City hereby makes the following factual statements and representations:
14
(a) the Bond is issued after August 7, 1986;
(b) the Bond is not a "private activity bond" as defined in Section 141 of the Code;
(c) the City hereby designates the Bond as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for
purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(d) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities treated as one issuer with the City, and all subordinate
entities whose obligations are treated as issued by the City) during this calendar year 2023 will
not exceed $10,000,000;
(e) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during this calendar year 2023 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code; and
(f) the aggregate face amount of the Bond does not exceed $10,000,000.
The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements
which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph.
19. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this resolution.
20. Headings. Headings in this resolution are included for convenience of reference
only and are not a part hereof, and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision hereof.

Councilmember Wehyee asks for more information regarding consent agenda item 3. Active
Living Ramsey Communities Be Active! Be Green! Bench Initiative Grant Application.
Administrator Linehan explains that the City was informed about this grant by Active
Living Ramsey Communities. Their goal is to ensure people of all abilities are provided with
a place to sit on trails within all of Ramsey County. Staff reviewed City parks and noticed
opportunities for additional benches. Staff already submitted the grant application for one
bench for placement near the basketball court at Curtiss Field and (up to) two benches to be
20
placed within Community Park around the pond. The benches provided through the grant
will be made from composite material which is very durable.
Councilmember Wehyee asks if the benches will be in addition to existing benches at
Community Park or if they will replace existing ones.
Administrator Linehan explains the requirement of the grant is that they are in addition to
existing benches and will not be replacing any.
Councilmember Wassenberg asks if the concrete pads, that the City is responsible for, will be
completed by Public Works.
Administrator Linehan answers yes. The City has some costs associated with placing the
benches, namely the concrete pads. Public Works is able to complete this in house.
Administrator Linehan continues to explain agenda item 4. 2023 Data Practices Officials.
Typically, this is done at the beginning of the year. Due to staff turnover a new Data Practice
Policy needed to be adopted to include the newest staff member. He also addresses agenda
item 2. Address Assignment for Community Park – 2050 Roselawn Avenue W. Prior to the
City purchasing Community Park, the parcel was shared with the adjacent farm field. Now
that the City officially owns the park, the parcels are being split. The City wants to include
the University in this decision and is awaiting a response before moving forward.
H: POLICY ITEMS:
1. Approval of Scheduling Public Hearing for July 26th to Consider State Fair Task Force
Recommendation to Modify Fee Schedule Ordinance
Administrator Linehan states that the State Fair Task Force (SFTF) discussed parking
violations during the State fair. The current uniform parking violation is $50. Lot parking in
commercial lots near the State Fair reached $50 in 2022. The City is trying to stay ahead of
parking fees at commercial lots. The proposed ordinance change would be to include
language that parking violations double from August 15th to September 15th. For
transparency, it is proposed to have a Public Hearing regarding this topic on Wednesday,
July 26th at 7:00 p.m.
Councilmember Wassenberg added a note to the proposed fee schedule, to show the fine
amounts:
Uniform parking fine
September 16th – August 14th $50.00/violation
August 15th – September 15th $100.00/violation
Mayor Gustafson asks if this will be an annual public hearing for fees or if that requires
additional publications to the public.
Administrator Linehan answers, the City can do both. According to state regulations, the
public needs to be notified of Public Hearings 10 days prior to the Public Hearing through a
newspaper publication. The City wants to compare its fee schedule with other municipalities
before reviewing it in December of 2023.
Councilmember Wassenberg wonders if the fee schedule changed recently.
Administrator Linehan answers yes, it was reviewed in January of 2023 through a fee
ordinance.
21
Council and staff discussed fees that would need modification, such as right of way
obstruction fees. Work including obstruction is disruptive to residents and reviewing the
permit applications takes up more staff time than other permits. Administrator Linehan
believes the current right of way obstruction fee does not match the amount of work
imposed on staff.
Council is in favor of increasing the fee of obstruction and including this fee as part of the
Public Hearing on Wednesday, July 26. Council also authorizes staff to research fee
modification of the obstruction fee and compare with other municipalities. They also
amended the resolution to include the right of way obstruction fee
Councilmember Wehyee motions to
approve resolution 23-48 ordering a public hearing to consider amending uniform parking
violation fee and right of way obstruction fee; approved 5-0
I. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Councilmember Meyer has no announcements.
Councilmember Wehyee attended Unity Day on July 7, 2023 and he had a great time.
Councilmember Leehy attended Restoration and Unity Day on July 6 and July 7, 2023. The
Castile family organized two great events for the 6th time. Minnesota Night to Unite is also
coming up and Councilmember Leehy wants to encourage as many residents to organize a block
party. It is great opportunity to connect with neighbors.
Councilmember Wassenberg agrees with Councilmember Leehy’s comments regarding Night to
Unite. Block parties are very low-key events and are a great way to reconnect with your block.
He adds that the band that played at Unity Day was excellent.
Mayor Gustafson explains that the Governor’s office provided the City with a copy of the
Governor’s proclamation for Restoration and Unity Day. Last year, Ramsey County made the
two days standing dates. He also encourages residents to register their block parties. He
expresses his appreciation for the work City staff has been doing. Lastly, Ice Cream Social will be
on July 20, 2023 from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM at Community Park. Everyone is encouraged to attend,
especially now that the City officially owns Community Park.
Administrator Linehan informs residents that the 2023 PMP is going along very well. Currently,
the majority of the heavy work is being done. Such as installing catch basins. Then they will be
doing pavement removal. Impacted residents were notified by the City. The contractor will also
get started on Ruggles Pathway. Administrators Linehan is confidents the end result will be
worth it. Garden Avenue will also have their curbs installed. The registration for the Citywide
Garage sale is open. It will take place on Saturday, September 16. Budget season is also starting
soon. In order to get ready for this process, Council and staff discussed adding extra Council
Workshop meetings.
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.
K. ADJOURNMENT: 7: 40 PM

Item 2023 City Fee Schedule Ordinance
Description
The City Council reviews the fee schedule annually for any adjustments. Some
adjustments, including increases in water, sewer and recycling rates, are approved
with the passage of the 2023 budget.
At the June 29th State Fair Task Force (SFTF) meeting, the SFTF discussed a variety of
issues including parking. One parking issue that was brought up was the importance
of ensuring parking violations cover the costs for violations during the State Fair.
The current uniform parking violation is $50. Lot parking in commercial lots near the
State Fair reached $50 in 2022. Because of this, there were reports of visitors parking
illegally in neighborhoods, such as within 30 feet of a stop sign, knowing a fine was
possible but they were willing to take the chance.
The proposed ordinance change would be to include language that parking violations
are $100 from August 15th to September 15th,, and $50 from September 16th – August
14th. This language was suggested by our City Attorneys to make it very clear to
prosecutors and the courts when fines are doubled, rather than “during State Fair”. By
having the fines double temporarily, it avoids having fines increase for other parking
violations that are less resource heavy to enforce, such as during snow emergencies.
Included in the proposed fee schedule is an increase in fees for right-of-way
obstruction permits. The City contracts with the City of Roseville to provide
engineering services, and is billed by Roseville for the professional staff time required
to review the permits. When the City adjusted right-of-way permits in January,
obstruction permits were not increased. The cost and staff time should now be covered
by the increase.

Item Request for authorization to use a portion of the City’s Municipal State Aid
(MSA) Account Funds for the 2023 Pavement Management Project and
approve Pay Estimate #1
Description Falcon Heights is one of a few cities in the state that has a fully certified local
street system, which means the City’s designated state aid routes are improved
to state aid standards or are in an adequate condition. As such, we are allowed
to use a portion of our MSA funds to cover repairs of our local streets that are
not designated on the state aid system. The attached resolution authorizes
City staff to request MSA funds from MnDOT for use on the 2023 Pavement
Management Project.

Project. Pay Estimate #1 is in the amount of $219,103.78 and includes the
following work:
•Pavement Reclaim
•Grading
•Utility Work
The project engineer and contractor have reviewed and approved the estimate,
and it is submitted for Council approval. With this pay estimate, the total
amount paid to date on this project is $219,103.78 or 18.73% of the original
contract price.
Budget Impact This project has the following financial implications for the City and property
owners along the streets under this maintenance project:
•Assessments levied in accordance with the City’s assessment policy.
•Use of Municipal State Aid (MSA), CRRSAA and street infrastructure
funds to pay the City’s portion of the project.

Item Accept Funding from Ramsey County and Proposal from WSB for Larpenteur-
Snelling Corridor Study
Description One of the main goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is “building
connections and community identity in Falcon Heights.” A large inhibitor of
achieving this goal is the disconnect in the City from Snelling and Larpenteur
Avenues. From the 2040 Comprehensive Plan:
Built to encourage vehicle rather than pedestrian traffic, Larpenteur and Snelling also
function as significant barriers between neighborhoods, fragmenting city identity. Yet
these major thoroughfares offer enormous potential to become the keys to a stronger
civic identity, a sense of arrival and welcome, connection and community. In-depth study of these corridors is needed in order to formulate corridor framework plans to
guide public and private development aimed at realizing this potential.
The City applied for and received $50,000 in funding from Ramsey County’s
Critical Corridors Pre-Development Planning grant to conduct a Larpenteur-
Snelling Corridor Study. Upon notice of the grant award, Staff requested a
proposal from WSB to conduct the study.
A proposal was submitted by WSB for the study in the amount of $54,685.00.
An overview and breakdown of the study is attached.

Project Understanding | 2Proposal for the Snelling/Larpenteur Corridor Study for the City of Falcon Heights
Project Understanding
The goal of the study is to explore introduction of new land uses into the Snelling Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue corridors
to create a more robust and engaging commercial and mixed use area in the Falcon Heights.
From a land use perspective, these two corridors are the
primary areas for growth and redevelopment providing
opportunities for additional multi-family, commercial,
and mixed-use development. Understanding the local
market and community desires will aid in targeting new
development ideas. Identification of potential sites and
neighborhood services will aid in future business attraction
serving local residents and the immediate community.
All endeavors associated with the review of the corridors
will be undertaken with several opportunities for public
input and engagement. The community will have the

The Team will compile all background information, public
comments, and write-ups from the various subject areas
into one final document with appropriate graphics for
legibility and ease of reading. The document will be
brought to the City Council for final approval after review
by the city staff and Steering Committee.
Public Engagement
($26,091)
The Team will work with the City to identify an
appropriate engagement strategy and modifications

process to unveil the draft recommendations prior to
finalizing the document for City Council approval.
-Three Focus Group Meetings- three different focus
group meetings representing specific interests in
the Corridor. This could include the local businesses,
residents of the Amber Union Apartments, property
owners, or other groups identified by the City.
-Website- WSB will rely on the City to provide space
for the project on the city website and will provide all
materials, maps, meeting announcements, and other
engagement tools to the city for posting.
