Council requested more information regarding consent agenda item 4. Be Active! Be Green! Bench
Initiative Contract.
Administrator Linehan explains city staff submitted a grant application to Active Living Ramsey
Communities to apply for park benches as part of their Be Active! Be Green! Bench Initiative. The
City not only was awarded the grant, but will also be receiving more benches then initially applied
for. A total of 7 benches will placed strategically within Community Park and 1 new bench will be
placed by the basketball court at Curtiss Field. In exchange, the City must supply ADA concrete
pads under the park benches and provide maintenance for the next twenty years.
3
Councilmember Wassenberg adds that the grant award comes at a great time. The Parks and
Recreation Commission just completed their park audit, during which items in need of maintenance
or improvement were noted. In particularly, benches needed maintenance.
Council expressed their gratitude for City Staff and Ramsey County.
H: POLICY ITEMS:
1. Appointment of Colin Callahan as Public Works Director
Administrator Linehan states that after long-term public works director Tim Pittman retired in April
of this year, Colin stepped up as the interim public works director. This seemed like a smart
strategy. During the summer, Colin did a tremendous job of growing his skillset leading the
department through a rare period of transition after decades of stability. With Colin as the director,
the Public Works department will be in great hands. Therefore, staff recommends promoting Colin
as the permanent Public Works Director.
Councilmembers Leehy and Meyer motion to approve Resolution 23-53 Appointment of
Colin Callahan to the position of Public Works Director; approved 5-0
I. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Councilmember Meyer informed he had a great time at his Night to Unite block party and
appreciates Administrator Linehan stopping by. He was excited to see how many block parties there
were happening.
Councilmember Wehyee has no updates.
Councilmember Leehy visited a few block parties and extends her gratitude to all the residents who
participated.
Councilmember Wassenberg informed that the Parks and Recreation Commission met a couple of
nights ago, during which they discussed park audit findings, the recent striping of the basketball
court at Curtiss Field as well as reviewed some wording to restrict the use of cannabis in park
spaces.
Mayor Gustafson visited a few Night to Unite block parties and thanks all residents who
participated. He adds that the Planning Commission will be meeting on the 22nd of August. They
will be reviewing the upcoming Larpenteur-Snelling Corridor study.
Administrator Linehan provides an update from the latest State Fair Task Force Meeting. On the
third Thursday in September, they plan on having a Townhall meeting during which residents can
provide feedback regarding changes implemented by the Task Force this year. During their last
meeting, the Executive Director of the Como District 10 was invited to collaborate. They also
discussed the difference between ticketing and towing. Staff is putting together a 2-page State Fair
resource guide for residents and they will also be mailing out the State Fair parking passes. The City
purchased temporary signs that will be placed around the neighborhoods 30 feet from stop signs. If
found effective, permanent signs will be ordered and placed.
The 2023 PMP is moving forward as scheduled and will be completed before the start of the State
Fair.
Administrator Linehan adds that not only was the court at Curtis Field striped, the court at the
Grove was striped at the same time and this court now doubles as a pickleball court. Residents do
have to bring their own net.

J. COMMUNITY FORUM: Please limit comments to 3 minutes per person. Items brought before the Council will be referred for

City Council Special Budget Workshop #1

2077 West Larpenteur Avenue

STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN__X_
C. POLICY ITEMS:
1. 2024 Proposed Budget
a. 2024 Staffing Budget Proposal
City Administrator Linehan presented the 2024 proposed budget for staffing. He stated that
staffing, second only to our policing contract, constitutes the largest portion of our budget. For
2024, the proposal includes a modest 1.4% increase in the staffing budget, attributable mainly to
a 4% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and several position changes. This increase has been
mitigated by salary savings, especially from the replacement of higher-earning senior
employees with new hires.
Highlights of the proposed 2024 staffing budget include:
1. Departmental Updates
Administration:
• Promotion of Assistant to the City Administrator to Administrative Services
Manager.
• Reduction in part-time intern hours.
• Step adjustments at six and 18 months for multiple employees.
Finance:
• Six-month and 18-month step adjustments for part-time accountant
• Performance-based increase for Finance Director in Q3 or Q4 2023.
Public Works / Parks:
• Continuation of 4.0 FTEs. The department currently has a budgeted unfilled full-
time maintenance worker that is scheduled to be recruited this fall. The
department has been operating on 3.5 FTEs with the full-time vacant
maintenance worker being filled by a part-time seasonal laborer this summer.
7
o We may consider hiring a part-time seasonal snow plow driver rather than
FT maintenance worker if candidates aren’t satisfactory
• 12-month increase for Public Works Director.
2. Cost-of-Living Adjustment
The second major proposal is a cost-of-living adjustment of 4%. In an analysis of other
metro cities, it appears 3%-4% is standard across the board, with more communities
skewing towards 3%. As we continue to consider revising our compensation schedule, it
is important we stay competitive with COLA increases. The below chart shows the total
financial impact of multiple cost-of-living adjustments:
COLA 0% 2% 3% 4% 5%

Budget
Increase – All
Funds
$17,838 $26,757 $35,677 $44,686
*Includes compensation of all employees, plus PERA + FICA contributions
Mayor Gustafson stated that there is not a major difference between 3% and 5%, and that we
have long noted that our staff are not compensated in-line with other municipalities in our
region.
Council Member Leehy stated that she supports the 4% increase.
Council Member Meyer concurred.
Following the discussion on staffing, Linehan gave an overview of proposed changes to our
benefit offerings. The City currently offers health insurance, with 75% of the premium paid by
the employer for family, 100% for single, and the City compensates employees $283.86 per
month to opt-out. The City Council discussed the possibility of increasing the employer
contribution for family plans to 80%.
The City’s dental, disability and life insurance policies are offered as a rider to Ramsey County’s
employee plan. This summer, Ramsey County notified the communities that use their plans
(Falcon Heights, Lauderdale and Shoreview) that they will no longer be offered these insurance
plans in 2024. We are working on bringing in a broker to offer these insurances at a competitive
rate to our employees. It is assumed by us that costs will increase as a result of the change.
City Administrator Linehan finished the presentation by stating that the proposed changes for
2024 are aligned with our commitment to maintaining quality services while remaining fiscally
responsible. Although the short-term impacts on the budget are minimal, certain decisions may
have a longer-term influence.
8
The City Council’s insights and guidance on proceeding with these salary and benefit
alterations are highly recommended.
D. ADJOURNMENT: 9:34 P.M.
DISCLAIMER: City Council Workshops are held monthly as an opportunity for Council Members to
discuss policy topics in greater detail prior to a formal meeting where a public hearing may be held and/or
action may be taken. Members of the public that would like to make a comment or ask questions about an
item on the agenda for an upcoming workshop should send them to mail@falconheights.org prior to the
meeting. Alternatively, time is regularly allotted for public comment during Regular City Council
Meetings (typically 2nd and 4th Wednesdays) during the Community Forum.

Item Ordering of Cannabis Business Moratorium Extension Public Hearing
Description
Adult-use cannabis was legalized via Chapter 63. Legal sales are expected to begin
January 2025 upon establishment of the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management
and the licensing process beginning. Cities are permitted to place an interim
ordinance prohibiting cannabis businesses until January 1, 2025. The current
moratorium in place expires September 28, 2023. At the time of its expiration, the
new moratorium would be the primary in place until January 1, 2025.
The attached drafted moratorium ordinance is as broad as allowed under the final
state law and prohibits all cannabis businesses until January 1, 2025. A public
hearing is required to pass this moratorium, which is unusual for a moratorium,
but is a special requirement from this new state statute.
During the period of the moratorium, staff and the Planning Commission would
take a deeper dive in to our ordinances revolving around Cannabis sales.

Item Accepting Donation from Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club
Description
The Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club (FHLLC) purchased a new 20’ by 40’
tent in April 2023 after their previous tent had reached end-of-life. The tent cost
up to $3,000.
The FHLLC provides their tent to various public events, including City events
such as Spring Together, Ice Cream Social, and Unity Day. They perform the set-
up / takedown of the tent. The Lions discovered that their new tent is
approximately 660 pounds and is more complicated to set up than their previous
tent. Public Works staff helped the Lions put up the tent for the Ice Cream Social,
and we have been storing the tent since then.
Due to the complicated nature of the tent, the Lions voted in July to donate the
tent to the City of Falcon Heights with the standing offer that they would assist
our staff in putting up the tent. We estimate the cost to rent a 20’x40’ tent to be
about $500 per time, or currently $1,500 to $2,000 annually to cover City events.
