In Fall 2025, Civic Plus coded and designed the new website - which included automatic site remediation to ensure ADA Compliance and an accessibility toolkit to assist users visiting our site. Staff worked with Civic Plus to pick out fonts, colors, and other format details which were coded into the site. Civic Plus moved over the webpages and documents from the previous website onto the redesigned one, however the content of the pages was out-of- date, and the layout of some pages needed adjusting. Starting in ]anuary 2026, staft worked on updating, rearranging, and cleaning up the webpages on the newly redesigned website. Staff also removed pages more than three years old, such as information regarding how to join online City Council meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff rearranged the site map to help create more user-friendly website navigation, as well as added events to the new website calendar. There is some work left to be done on the website, including continuing to migrate content updating photos and uploading up-to-date and accessibility compliant documents. The website redesign draft is now ready to be presented to the City Council for feedback and direction before finaliztngthe website for launch later this Spring. Budget Impact None Attachment(s)N/A City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota 30 Action(s) Requested Staff requests feedback/direction on the content of the website redesign draft. 3{ BLANK PAGE 32 C. CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS City Council Workshop City Hall 2077 r{est Larpenteur Avenue MINUTES Wednesday, March 25, 2026 6:00 P.M. A. CALL TO ORDER: 6:03 PM B. ROLLCALL:GUSTAFSON-X_ MAY_X_ MIELKE_X_ MOGEN -X_ WASSENBERG-X- STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN X POLICY ITEMS: L. Presentation by Roseville Area Community Foundation (RACF) (6:00) Linehan introduces the Roseville Area Community Foundatiory could be a potential partrer in helping the city distribute the charitable gambling proceeds equitably and fairly. Gi*y Allen, board member, Dawne Brown White, president, Beth Salzl, treasurer. For the City of Roseville, The Foundation takes proceeds from the gambling fund and invests half of it in a permanently restricted fund, that gets invested, the other half remains available for grant programming. They have two grant programs, responsive grant making, that benefits the School District and community organizations. Report to the Minnesota Attorney Generals' Departrnent and IRS. All of their information is public for transparency. Linehan explains that Falcon Heights receives funds through a10% contribution from the Roseville Area Youth Hockey Association, ithas been building, now there are unused funds. The cities also receive a 3% monthly tax to cover administrative costs. Falcon Heights reimburses this to the Association. The City of Roseville provides 5% fromthe 10% contribution to the Roseville Area Community Foundation and they keep the other 5% Cities find different ways to use or disburse the funds with the limits of the Minnesota State Statute. Salzl explains if Falcon Heights were to contribute, funds would be distributed to the School Districtcovering Falcon Heights, they have donated to the Peace Garden. Dawn provides a list of organizations within or serving Falcon Heights that have received funds from the Foundation. Allen adds there is an even more extensive list of 33 organizadons that serve Falcon Heights. Muy - total amount of grants per year? Brown White, about $150,000 per year/ this has been increasing yearly. Allen - new initiative, create meeting the moment granf limit of $20,000 for organizations reacting to unprecedented needs that have emerged because of recent events. Brown White believes that the restricted fund has been doing well. And will have conversation with Roseville to determine what will be done with it once it reaches a certain amounf and what this amount would be. Mogen wonders about the proposal for Falcon Heights? Salzl recommends adding it to the unrestricted fund, and continue to contribute to Falcon Heights organizations, which the foundation is already doing. There is the also the ability to create a restricted fund. Recommends comingling the funds. Wassenberg suggest presenting an annual report to show to residents which organizations benefitted. May, could the city decided one year, to keep the funds, or would this be a permanent agreement. Salzl,tp to the council, could also pass this project or organization in need to the foundation and they can donate directly to that. Brown White adds that they do all the due diligence verification necessary before providing a grant as well as post grant reporting. Linehan, staff has let the funds build, there is no current plan and methods for distribution. Mielke wonders if the foundation also accepts donations, Salzl,yes they dp. Example, of memorial bench at a park. Mogen, wonders if there are any additional costs for the City of Falcon Heights. Brown \A/hite says, the foundation has very little administrative costs. They use the investonent fund, there are no extra costs to the cities. Gustafson recaps the funding for all forms of charitable gambling. The organizations responsible for the charitable gambling make their money, and only contribute a portion of their proceeds to the cities, which in Roseville's case they donate a portion to RACF, which they use to invest back into the community and a portion they keep. Linehan explains, there is no direction needed at this time, this was eu:r opportunity to provide more information on what the foundation does. 2. Community Advisory Committee - Application Review Process (6:20) May explains,2[appltcations were received, spread out across the neighborhoods in the city and also representing most of the City Commissions. Next, discuss criteria by which to select applicants for an interview. She wonders if a staff member should be included in the interviews. Mielke: are interviews in-person or virtual? Mogen doesn't see a need to include staff in interviews. Mogen and Mielke added notes to their applicant reviews about who should be interviewed. Staff will be involved with the TAC. It is recommended to not interview everyone, and also update candidates who will notbe interviewed. 34 Mielke is uncomfortable with a councilmember's spouse potentially being on the CAC; other councilmembers express no concern with it. May will recuse herself from any interviewing or decision-making regarding her spouse's application. All commissions are represented except for the Community Engagement Commission. Suggestion to replace itwith an at-large candidate. Mogen believes that a number of applicants who applied had expertise in planning or an understanding of development, this expertise would come in handy for serving on this committee, and so it would make sense to view them a$ at-large representatives. Gustafson agrees, the idea is to assist the developer with a master plan and ensure it aligns with community values. The technical advisory committee will make sure that what the community wants to happen can happen. Muy ensure the process is actively communicated back to residents, and engaging the community is important. May and Wassenberg will determine a chair for the CAC based on the interviews. Linehan wants to ensure that the application process is closed, and staff can communicate so. If there are vacancies, the process for backfilling a position can be determined then. 3. Lauderdale Street Sweeping Contract Proposal (6:45) Linehan explains that Falcon Heights replaced their street sweeper and that staff has been working with Lauderdale on providing them street sweeping services. Falcon Heights can deliver more sweeps throughout the year at no additional cost and believes it can provide a higher level of service. This contract would help finance the sweeper as well. It is a favorable situation for both Falcon Heights and Lauderdale. G'r.rstafson wonders if higher cost of fuel is incorporated in this contract. Linehan, this would need to be monitored. The extra mileage it would add isn't significan! the main cost is the equipment itself. Linehan notes Lauderdale just approved their side of the contract and are excited. They built tnaS% annual increase, similar as the snow plowing contract. 4. Consider Approving a Contract with TimeSaver OffSite Secretary, Inc. for Recording Minutes (6:50) Linehan explains that since the city switched to two workshops per month, the staff load of minute taking has increased. The Administrative and Communications Coordinator is responsible for City Minutes, but it can be time-consuming depending on the length of the meeting. Johnson compiled a list of cities that TimeSaver provides services for and also approximated costs based on 2025 meetings, which would be approximately $10,000. Another benefit is continuity of meeting minutes in case there is staff fumover. Mielke wonders about hititg a part-time person or freelance role. Wassenberg states support for the idea but interested in the expansion of AI technology to assist. Council discusses what style minutes. Linehan explains they use two rates, and they apply the highest rate. Linehan adds that staff added a quote from a second firm, there is also an AI -based solutiory it would require more staff time. 35 Linehan and Council agree to table the discussion until staff can bring more details and alternatives.

CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS City Council Workshop City Hall 2077 West Larpenteur Avenue MINUTES Wednesday, April 8, 2026 6:00 P.M. A. CALL TO ORDER: 6:00 PM B. ROLL CALL:GUSTAFSON-X- MAY-X- MIELKE X MOGEN X WASSENBERG X STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN X MYHREN X POLICY ITEMS: 1,. Consideration of Fairway Commons Planned Unit Development Amendment Proposal Linehan introduced the workshop's purpose, explaining that the goal was to discuss the Fairway Commons project with the development team, review potential amendments to the Planned Unit Development (PUD), and allow council members to ask questions in an informal workshop format before the formal presentation during the regular meeting. Community Development Coordinator Myhren provided an overview of the project noting that the Planning Commission had voted to recommend approval of the amendment. She explained that this proposal essentially involves swapping out the previously approved Amber Flats plans with the new Fairway Commons plans. ItVhile Amber Flats had tfuee main deviations from city code (impervious surface, heighq and parking), Fairway Commons has only two main deviations: building height up to 50 feet and slighfly insufficient underground parking fiust under the require d 80% of parking spaces below ground). Myhren detailed the Planning Commission's five original conditions and presented ten additional and revised conditions that staff had developed. Key conditions included tree replacement requirements/ snow storage limitations, open space maintenance, electric vehicle charging stations, height restrictions, side yard setback provisions, parcel recombinatiory parking lot maintenance agreements, and on-site property management requirements. The discussion then focused extensively on several specific issues: o Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: Mielke raised concerns about the placement and accessibility of the required four charging stations. The Planning Commission had recommended they be placed at least 50 feet from the main entrance to prevent non-electric vehicle users from parking in these spob simply because they're convenient. Council Member Wassenberg, describing himself as a longtime electric vehicle owrrer, strongly recommended placing the charging 38 a a stations in the least desirable parking spots to prevent "icing" (intemal combustion engine vehicles parking in electric-only spaces). Developer Marty O'Cormell expressed concems about public access to the charging stations, preferring to limit access to residents and their guests for security reasons. Gustafson questioned whether requiring public charging stations was appropriate, given that this would be a first-time requirement not applied to other multifamily housing in the city. The discussion revealed that while the city's code doesn't require charging stations to be public, the PUD format allows for such specific conditions. After considerable back-and-forth, the group discussed whether the stations could be splitbetween indoor (underground garage) and outdoor locations, with the developer noting that two dual-port charging stations would serve four vehicles total. Property Management Requirements: The condition requiring an on-site property management staff person sparked significant discussion about operational requirements. O'Connell explained their standard business model includes a property manager and mainten.rnce technician on-site Monday tfuough Friday, S:00 to 4:30, with after-hours emergency response through an on- call system. Gustafson questioned whether requiring specific operational details was appropriate for a PUD, noting that the city doesn't typically dictate operating hours for other businesses or rental properties. Council members debated whether this was an overreach of municipal authority or an appropriate condition for a variance. Ultimatelp they agreed to keep the language general, requiring property management staff to be "maintained on-site" without specifying exact hours. Technical Zonrnglssues: Wassenberg identified a technical issue with side yard setbacks, noting that if the building reached the full 50-foot height allowance, the required side yard setback of half the building height would be 25 feet, but the current plans showed only 245 feet. This prompted discussion about whether this constituted an additional variance or could fall under the city administrator's 5% variance authority. After mathematical calculations, staff determined this could be addressed by specifically stating the side yard setback as shown on the approved plans rather than creating an additional variance requirement. Buitding Modifications: Myhren noted that the developer had made slight modifications to increase the size of one-bedroom units by approximately 96 square feet per unit creating bump-outs on the building's east side. This change would slightly increase impervious surface coverage fuom62.7o/o to 63.3%but would remain well under the maximum allowed percentage and wouldn't affect setback requirements. The council members expressed general satisfaction with the project and the revised conditions. Gustafson noted the community need for senior housing, sharing that a coworker had recenfly asked about senior housing options in Falcon Heights. The developer confirmed their timeline of beginning 39 constuction inJuly if approvals are received, with completion expected in approximately 1.8 months. 2. Consideration of the City's Acquisition of '1,407 Larpenteur Avenue West Linehan explained that while this item had been discussed extensively in closed sessions throughout 2025 and2026 drte to the sensitive nature of real estate negotiations, he wanted to provide council members an opportunity for any final questions or concerns before the formal presentation during the regular meeting. Linehan noted that detailed information wasn't included in the workshop packet to avoid premature public disclosure during negotiations, but the information would be available for the regular meeting. He emphasized that having a signed purchase agreement would significantly improve the city's ability to secure grants for site remediation, as grant agencies prefer applicants with site control rather than those merely in negotiations. Council members expressed satisfaction with how the acquisition process had been handled. Linehan mentioned having already begun working on a grant application that day. The council indicated readiness to proceed with the formal consideration during the regular meeting. The discussion confirmed that acquiring the property would open opportunities for various grants to help with remediation costs, and having site control through a purchase agreement would be much more favorable for grant applications than simply being in negotiations. D.

Consideration of Fairway Commons Planned Unit Development Amendment Proposal Community Development Coordinator Myhren presented the proposal to amend the existing Amber Flats Planned Unit Development to Fairway Commons. She explained that this was not a reversal of the existing PUD but rather swapping out the plan. The existing Amber Flats PUD would remain in city code even if this proposal were denied. Myhren provided background on the locatiory noting it would be roughly in the same location as Amber Flats was proposed, with potential for moving the entrance about 60 feet east to align with existing drives. She reviewed the purpose of PUDs, which allow flexibility in site design, conservation of land and open space/ and deviations in standards. The proposal comparison showed Amber Flats at 96 units versus Fairway Commons at 110 affordable senior living apartments. Fairway Commons would have 116 parking spaces (M surface, T2 sublevel) and a maximum height of 45 feet 6 inches, potentially increasing to 49 feet 6 inches with 9-foot ceilings, written to allow up to 50 feet for flexibility. Myhren reviewed city code requirements, noting that Fairway Commons meets most requirements. The project meets density requirements at just under 40 dwelling units per acre, meets setback requirements from residential property at 153.5 feet from Hollywood Court, but is slightly under the requirement for 80% underground parking w1th72 sublevel spaces where 88 would be required. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 24th with a few residents attending, mostly concemed about traffic and safety requirements. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval to City Council. Myhren outlined numerous conditions including tree maintenance, snow storage limitations, open space preservatioru electric vehicle charging stations, height restrictions, setback maintenance, parcel combination requirements, parking agreements, and on-site property maintenance staff. Marty O'Connell from Velair Development presented on behalf of the developer. He provides background on Velair and the development team. They are experienced in providing affordable senior housing. The Fairway Commons proposal includes 110 age-restricted units with a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units over one level of enclosed underground parking. Common amenities will include outdoor patio with grilling stations, community room/ library and craft room, fitress center, pu.kug" room,ind four EV charging stations. Unit feafures include qrartz countertops, in-unit washer and dryer, adjustable thermostats, and LVP flooring. O'Connell explained the site layouf noting preservation of existing parking easement for 54 stalls for Amber Union use, while providing 116 parking stalls for Fairway Commons. The building footprint and general layout closely follows the previously approved Amber Flats PUD design. The developmentwill actively explore implementing geothermal heating and cooling systems. If implemented, this would eliminate exterior metal louvers and potentially 43 add one wellhead in the northwest corner of the site, which could be screened with landscaping. Housing will have rent and income restrictions tied to housing tax credits, averaging 60% arca median income limits. Rent ranges are projected at $648-$1,100 for studios, $1,300-$1,500 for one-bedrooms, and around $1,800 for two-bedrooms. Age restrictions require at least one household member to be 55 or older, with all members 40 or older. The management plan includes long-term ownership requirements (minimum 15 years), access control via resident fobs, extensive security camera coverage/ on-site property manager and maintenance technician, and coordination with local police department before opening. O'Connell outlined key benefits including 1L0 units of new senior housing, increased commercial demand, projected $80,000 annual property tax increase, and a one-time bond issuance fee of $50,000-$60,000 to the city. No city financing assistance is requested beyond acting as bond conduit. The development schedule anticipates construction starting in July 2026witll completion in mid to late fall2027. Council members expressed appreciation for the investigation of geothermal heating and cooling, the company's willingness to work with the city and planning commissiory and the provision of affordable senior housing to meet community needs. Councilmember Wassenberg Motions To Approve Ordinance And Summary Ordinance 2G03 Amending Chapter 113 Of The Falcon Heights City Code Conceming Amber Flats Planned Unit Development; Approved 5-0 2. Approval of Resolution26-30 Authorizing the Execution of a Real Estate Purchase Agreement for 1,407 Larpenteur Avenue and 0 Larpenteur Avenue West Linehan presented the proposal to authorize execution of a real estate purchase agreement for the property commonly known as Get Pressed at the corner of Larpenteur and Albert. The property has a long history as commercial use with significant environmental challenges from its past as a dry cleaner and fuel station with sealed underground tanks. In2023, the city obtained a Brownfield Assessment Grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, providing about $100,000 worth of environmental assessment services tfuough Bay West. The assessment found pollution contaminants in soil samples, with MPCA creating a response action plan estimating $370,000 in cleanup costs. The current owner brought forward two informal proposals to the Planning Commission - first for 12 townhomes, then 10 units - but could not make the numbers work without grant funding for environmental cleanup. MPCA and partrers suggested the city acquire the property for fair market value. The city hired a professional appraisal firm that determined the property would be worth approximately $675,000 if clean, but valued at $300,000 given the needed $370,000 cleanup. After negotiations starting in July, the city agreed to the appraised value of $300,000, plus outstanding taxes and closing costs up to $25,000. Linehan explained the city has identified funds from healthy fund balance and general capital reserves to pay cash. The long-term use hasn't been fully determined, with the 44 primary goal being environmental mitigation and cleanup, potentially starting with demolition and creating clean green space while developing longer-term plans. Mogen noted that while purchasing property without a specific plan and uncertain financial outcome was challenging, it was in the public interest due to necessary cleanup, blight issues, and potential for better fufure development that wasn't happening under private ownership. Gustafson acknowledged the difficulty of the decision without a forward plan but expressed confidence the city could recoup costs by accomplishing cleanup that the private sector couldn't manage.

The original contract was based on33,227linear feet @ $1.75 per foot. The unit prices established in the competitively bid contract will remain unchanged and apply to the additional work. During the analysis of this change order, staff determined the2026 sanitary sewer cleaning & televising line item was mistakenly left blank as an unintended error in the Sanitary Sewer 601 fund for the 2026budget. The fund has plenty of capacity to handle the2026 televising project, so with this change order motion, we are also seeking authorization to amend the budget to correct the error to provide necessary funds for payment.

This practice was halted n2020 and202l due to the limited public access to City Hall during the height of the pandemic, but brought back in 2022. Staff has again expressed support for the practice this year. During the summer months, especially on Fridays, the amount of walk-in and phone call requests for service drops off dramatically. Most aflternoons in non- summer months, the City sees approximately 3-4 visitors and a few calls Monday-Thursday. There are very few Friday afternoon visits. M*y cities use this as an opportunity to employ alternative hours of operatiory commonly known as "Summer Flours". Currently, normal hours of operation are Monduy - Friday,8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Historically, Summer Hours have occurred between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Because staffing is more critical in the days leading up to and during the Minnesota State Fair, and because Staff appreciates traveling leading up to the Memorial Day holiday, Council was presented with a modified schedule to consider in2025, which made Summer Hours effective to begin prior to Memorial Day and to end prior to the Minnesota State Fair (May 12 through August 15). Council formally approved Summer Hours beginning on May 12 and ending on August 15. Council is asked to once again consider starting Summer Hours prior to Memorial Day and having them conclude prior to the start of the fair. The proposed dates would be from May 1L through August 21, with the following hours worked: Monday - Thursday Friday 7:30 am - 5:00 pm 8:00 am - noon City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota 82 This allows City Hall to still be open a similar number of hours per week (42vs 42.5 durtng non-summer hours) and for employees to still work the same number of total hours (40, with onel/z hour break each day, except on Fridays, when staff would prefer to start thirty minutes later and to also not to take a break). On Mondays through Thursdays, it would allow City Hall customers the ability to come in both aL/zhour earlier and later in the day to conduct business. And, this will allow City Hall to be staffed at its regular business hours leading up to and during the State Fair. Supervisors will work with their employees to modify their schedules as best works for their divisions to be flexible with employees' needs while maintaining necessary coverage. We will publicize our approved Summer Hours through our normal methods (email, website, flyers, newsletters, and social media). We would also insert a 4otice on all permit applications so that contractors and/or residents do not come to City Hall on Friday afternoons hoping to pick up permits for their weekend projects. Notice will also be given to those who rent facilities that building keys will need to be picked up before noon on Friday. Budget Impact N/A Attachment(s)None Action(s) Requested Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council adopt the summer hours schedule as explained above. 83 BLANK PAGE 84 FnLC0fl tlEtEHTS THE CITY THAT SOARS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Meeting Date April22,2026 Agenda Item Consent G9 Attachment Bid Tabulatioru Resolution Submitted By Erik Henricksery City Engineer Item Approval of Resolution26-35 Awarding Award Bid for t}:re2026 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project FH 25-03 to Visu-Sewer Description The majority of the city's sanitary sewer mains were constructed in the late 1950's and early 1960's, utilizing clay tile pipe. Over time, ttre joints have failed, allowing root intrusion. The pipe material is also susceptible to cracking and construction damage. Majority of the segments throughout the City have been lined to rehabilitate the sewer mains and extend the life of our sanitary sewers by 50 years or more. Lining technology essentially installs a new resin pipe inside the old clay tile sewer main without digging up city streets, which results in minimal disruption to residents during construction. The liner pipe is inserted into the main through existing mdnholes and cured in place with a heat process. Each segment is typically completed in one working day. Service line connections are reopened using a robotic cutter and remote cameras. During the process, existing flows are bypassed using pumps. This techriology also prevents infiltration of groundwater into the system. T\e2026 Sanitary Sewer Main Lining Project includes lining for approximately 5,400lineal feet (1.02 miles) along Fairview Ave, Roselawn Ave, Garden Ave, Larpenteur Ave, and Maple Knoll Dr. The following four bids were opened on Febr{*ary+?# April 9, 2026: CONTRACTOR BID Visu-Sewer,Inc.$230,560.00 Insituform Technologies USA, LLC 9258,694.26 Vortex Services MN, LLC fi259,920.00 HK Solutions Group $288,923.L0 This project will complete half of the remaining sanitary sewer lining scheduled in the sanitary sewer lining program. The remaining 5,380 feet of sanitary sewer main within the City is scheduled for lining in2027, and will complete the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer mains withinthe City. IA/hile there remains a segment of clay pipe not lined within the Falcon Woods neighborhood, review of televising inspections indicate the pipe is in "like City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota 85 new" condition and does not require rehabilitation. Staff will continue to monitor its condition. The budget for this year's project was approved at $400,000. Due to the advantageous bids staff will work with the contractor to explore if additional sanitary sewer can be added to the project while maintaining unit prices. If agreeable, Change Order #1 would be presented to Council for approval. Budget Impact The low bid submitted by Visu-Sewer,Inc. is less than the $400,000 budgeted for the project.

Organizational Conflict of lnterest A conflict of interest can also occur with an organization that is a grant applicant in a competitive grant process or grantee of a state agency. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when: . A grantee's objectivity in carrying out the grant is impaired or compromised due to competing duties or loyalties . A grantee, potential grantee or grant applicant has an unfair competitive advantage through being furnished unauthorized proprietary information or source selection information that is not available to all competitors. 1Conflict of lnterest Disclosure Form for Grantees: Updated February 2021 109 This section to be completed by Grantee's Authorized Representative I certify that we will maintain an adequate Conflict of lnterest Policy, and throughout the term of our agreement will report any actual or potential conflicts of interests by individual employees or our organization as a whole to the State's Authorized Representative.

Statutes, section 15b.97 subd 2.the Minnesota Department of Administration is required to create generalgrants management policies and procedures applicable to all state agencies. Admin's OGM implemented grant policies for the State of Minnesota. Please review OGM grant policies (select the Current Policies tab). lnformation especially relevant to grantees is summarized below. Unless otherwise noted, these policies do not apply to bonding grants and grants under Minn. Statutes section 16A.86 or section L6A.642 Grants conflict of interest (OGM Policy 08-01) All grantees must sign a conflict-of-interest disclosure form or certify they will disclose conflicts of interest when signing their grant agreements/grant award notifications. Grantees must also maintain a written standard of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the actions of their employees or board members engaged in the selection, award, and administration of contracts. State staff may request this written standard when conducting grant monitoring activities or if otherwise relevant. These requirements apply to all grants, including bonding grants and grants under Minn. Statutes section 164.86 and section LGA.642. OGM Policy 08-0L states that a conflict of interest occurs "when a person has actual or apparent duty or loyalty to more than one organization and the competing duties or loyalties may result in actions which are adverse to one or both parties. A conflict of interest exists even if no unethical, improper, or illegal act results from it." Per the OGM policy, there are several types of conflicts of interest: Actual conflict of interest An actual conflict of interest occurs when a person's decision or action would compromise a duty to a party without taking immediate appropriate action to eliminate the conflict. ' ' 1Requirements for DNR Grantees 111 Potential conflict of interest A potential conflict of interest may exist if a person has a relationship, affiliation, or other interest that could create an inappropriate influence if the person is called on to make a decision or recommendation that would affect one or more of those relationships, affiliations, or interest. lndividual conflict of interest A conflict of interest that may benefit an individual employee or a grant reviewer is any situation in which their judgement, actions, or non-action could be interpreted to be influenced by something that would benefit them directly or through indirect gain to an immediate family member, business, or organization with which they are involved. Organizational conflict of interest A conflict of interest can also occur with an organization that is a grant applicant in a competitive grant process or grantee of a state agency. Organizational conflicts of interest occur when: A grantee's objectivity in carrying out the grant is impaired or compromised due to competing duties or loyalties A grantee, potential grantee, or grant applicant has an unfair competitive advantage through being furnished unauthorized proprietary information or source selection information that is not available to allcompetitors Use of grant contract agreements and grant award notifications (OGM Policy 08-041 All grants need a written grant contract agreement or grant award notification. State agencies cannot award a grant to a grantee that is on either the suspension or debarment lists for the state of Minnesota or the federal government. lf a grantee becomes suspended or debarred, that may be cause for the State to cancel their grant. Grant agreements/GANs must contain a provision for the grantee to clearly post on the grantee's website the names and contact information for the grantee organization's leadership and the person(s) who directly manages and oversees the grant. A fully executed copy of the grant agreement or GAN and all relevant records must be kept on file for a minimum of six years from the end date, receipt, and approval of all final reports, OR the period of time required to satisfy all state and program retention requirements, whichever is later. Grantees must complete work in accordance with the terms and conditions of their grant agreement/GAN. Work not covered under the grant agreement/GAN will not be reimbursed without a prior amendment request. a a 2Requirements for DNR Grantees 112 Public questions and comments concerning fraud and waste in state grants (OGM Policy 08-05) OGM will serve as the central point of contact for questions and comments about fraud and waste in state grants and about the violation of statewide grants policies. OGM will also respond to other public questions and concerns about state grants. Grant payments (OGM Policy 08-08) State agencies may not issue grant payments untilthe funds are encumbered, and the grant agreement is fully executed, or the GAN is completed. Reimbursement is the State's preferred method for making grant payments. DNR grants operate on a reimbursement basis, unless the grant agreement/GAN contains explicit language specifying otherwise. Grantee reimbursement requests must correspond to the line items in the approved grant budget. Grant managers must review each reimbursement request against the approved grant budget, grant expenditures to date, and the latest grant progress report before approving payment. lf grant managers see a discrepancy or have any questions about reimbursement requests and/or related documentation, they will follow up with the grantee. Any deviation from this policy must be approved by the agency wide grants manager prior to signing a grant agreement/GAN and must be in accordance with state laws and OGM policies. Grants in which the payment terms are defined in statute are not covered by this policy DNR reimbursement procedures a a a Grantees must pay for project expenses before seeking reimbursement from the grant and should only request reimbursement for paid expenses. Expenses are reviewed and those deemed eligible are then reimbursed under the terms of the agreement/GAN with the State of Minnesota. Grantees are not allowed to request reimbursement for invoices from a vendor that have not yet been paid by the grantee. Please also see the Proof of Payment section below. Grantees can expect to be reimbursed within 30 days of the DNR receiving a complete and accurate reimbursement request. lf documentation to process the request is missing, or the request has discrepancies or incorrect information, the 30-day clock does not start until all necessary information has been submitted to the DNR and the request has been deemed complete and whole. The DNR will pay final reimbursement when the state determines that the grantee has satisfactorily fulfilled all the terms of their grant agreement/GAN, unless a grant term is altered or excluded by the DNR in writing. a Grantees should keep the following documentation on file for monitoring and audit purposes: o Proof of payment of grant expenses (e.9. copies of cancelled checks, electronic bank statements, etc.) o Contracting/purchasingbiddingdocumentation o Organization's conflict of interest policy 3Requirements for DNR Grantees 113 Prevailing wage documentation (if applicable): project assessment form, certified payroll reports, etc. Grant progress reports (OGM Policy 08-091 Grantees are required to submit written progress reports at least annually until all grant funds have been expended and allthe terms in the grant agreement/GAN have been met. lnformation requested in a grant progress report may include (but is not limited to): goals and objectives, activities, outcomes, challenges, lessons learned, and financial information. State agencies cannot make grant payments on grants with past due progress reports (unless the agency has given the grantee a written extension). Grant monitoring (OGM Policy 08-10) All state grants over 550,000 are required to have at least one monitoring visit before final payment is made. All state grants over 5250,000 are required to have annual monitoring visits. ln-person visits are preferred where possible, but telephone or virtual visits are also used where reasonable. The purpose of a monitoring visit is to review and ensure progress towards the grant's goals, address any problems or issues before the end of the grant period, and build a relationship between the agency and grantee For state grants over 550,000, state agencies must conduct a financial reconciliation of granteesi expenditures at least once before final payment is made. A financial reconciliation involves reconciling a grantee's request for payment for a given period with supporting documentation (e.g. purchase orders, receipts, payroll records, etc.) for that request. lf previously reimbursed costs are found to be ineligible upon further review during monitoring (or at any other point during the grant period), repayment of those costs or other corrective action may be required. Proof of payment The State requires proof of payment documentation to ensure that funds are being provided on a reimbursement basis. The grantee must maintain proof of payment documentation and make it available when requested by the State. Proof of payment documentation may include: A copy of a bank statement with photocopies of cleared checks An electronic bank statement A copy of cancelled checks or other certified financial records Employee originaltime records and payroll documentation Cost share/required match For grants which require cost share or match, the requirements for documenting work completed or expenses incurred as match are the same as for expenses for which grantees are requesting reimbursement. The State may disallow otherwise-eligible costs for reimbursement if the grantee cannot provide proof of the expenses being used as match. a a a 4Requirements for DNR Grantees 114 For grants with in-kind match (i.e. non-cash donations of a good or service), grantees should provide documentation similar to a payment request. lf the in-kind match is volunteer time, grantees will need volunteer logs and to show the calculation used to convert volunteer hours to time. lf the in-kind match is something other than volunteer time (e.9. use of equipment, or donated materials), grantees must perform due diligence to determine how much the in-kind match would cost. For example, if the in-kind match is a land donation, the documentation should include an appraisal. lf the in-kind match is use of equipment, the documentation should demonstrate a realistic cost for the type of equipment and amount of time. Legislatively mandated grants (OGM Policy 08-11) State agencies must manage legislatively mandated grants with the same level of oversight (including monitoring) applied to other state grants, while respecting and maintaining the legislative intent. Grantees for legislatively mandated grants must submit a work plan and budget. The grant agreement/GAN must be based on the legislation, the grantee's work plan and budget, and negotiations between the state agency and the grantee. Grant amendments (OGM Policy 08-12) During the grant period, it may be necessary to make changes to the grant contract agreement/GAN. Generally, these modifications could include changes to the grant timeframe, to the scope of work, or to the budget categories. A formal grant contract amendment is required for any changes. Should a situation arise that requires any changes to the project, it is the grantee's responsibllity to communicate immediately with the DNR grants specialist. The purpose of grant amendments must be similar to the original purpose of the grant and the grantee duties should be within the scope of the original RFP/notice of grant opportunity/application. lf an amendment is allowed, it must be fully executed before additional costs can be incurred. Contracting and bidding Competitive bidding needs to follow a fair and transparent public process. Grantees must not contract with vendors or subcontractors who are on the suspension or debarment lists for either the State of Minnesota or the federal government. Grantees must take all necessary affirmative steps to assure that targeted vendors from businesses with active certifications through the entities below are used when possible: a Veteran-Owned Vendor List 5Requirements for DNR Grantees mtnt n's G Economica Disadva 115 . Metropolitan Council's Targeted Vendor list: Minnesota Unifled Certification Proeram o Small Business Certification Program through Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and the City of St. Paul Central Certification Program Grantees must maintain support documentation of the purchasing and/or bidding process utilized to contract services in their financial records, including support documentation justifying a single/sole source bid, if applicable. Grantees must retain the following documentation in the project file: o Copies of executed subcontract agreements . A copy of the request for proposal/request for quote, all submitted bids, and the bid tabulation (if applicable) o Written documentation that describes the rationale for selection of each subcontractor o Documentation of the contract/bid approval, if required by grantee internal controls (such as meeting minutes) This documentation may be reviewed during monitoring visits or when requested by the state. Contracting and bidding for political subdivisions of the state ln addition to the general contracting and bidding requirements above, municipalities (defined in Minn. Statutes, chapter 47L.345 subd. 1 as a county, town, city, school district, or other municipal corporation or political subdivision of the state authorized by law to enter into contracts) must also follow the Uniform M unicipal Contracting Law. Contracting and bidding for non-governmental organizations ln addition to the general contracting and bidding requirements at the beginning of this section, non- government organizations must follow the contracting policies/procedures below. Contracting and bidding for Tribal governments Tribal governments are subject to neither the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law nor the DNR contracting policies/procedures below. Tribal governments are subject to the contracting and bidding procedures of their own governance. Contracting and bidding thresholds and process Services and/or materials that are expected to cost between $t0,000 and 524,999 must be competitively awarded, based on a minimum of two verbal quotes or bids or awarded to a targeted vendor. Services and/or materials that are expected to cost between 525,000 and 599,999 must be competitively awarded based on a minimum of three verbal quotes or bids. Any services or materials that are expected to cost $100,000 or more must undergo a formal notice and bidding process. Grantees must use an RFP/RFQ process to competitively select professional and technical services. a a a 6Requirements for DNR Grantees 116 The advertisement for bid processes must allow for fair competition among potential qualified bidders Prevailing wage I Prevailing wage (Minn. Statutes, sections 177.41-1-77.45) is the minimum hourly wage employers must pay certain workers who work on construction and public works projects funded by state dollars. Prevailing wage includes the employer's cost of benefits. Other prevailing wage information can be found at the Minnesota Department of Labor and lndustrv. Prevailing wage rules apply to any grant award of 525,000 or more that qualifies as a "project" per the following definition: Project: demolition, erection, construction, alteration, improvement, restoration, remodeling, or repairing of a public building, structure, facility, land, or other public work, which includes any work suitable for and intended for use by the public, or for the public benefit, financed in whole dr part by state funds. "Project" also includes demolition, erection, construction, alteration, improvement, restoration, remodeling, or repairing of a building, structure, facility, land, or public work when the acquisition of property, predesign, design, or demolition is financed in whole or part by state funds (Minn. Statutes, section L77.42). lf the award is 525,000 or more and contains activities in the work/accomplishment plan that qualify as a "project" per the definition above, prevailing wage rules in Minn. Statutes, sections L77.4I-L77.44 apply. lf you are unsure if a project is subject to prevailing wage, ask the grant specialist for a copy of DLI's Project Assessment Form. Grantees must complete the form and return it to the grant specialist. Once ready, the DNR grant specialist will submit it to DLI and copy the grantee on the e-mail. When prevailing wage applies, all bid requests and RFPs must state that the project is subject to prevailing wage to ensure that incoming bids have factored prevailing wage rates into their submittal. A prevailing wage form should accompany these bid submittals. Grantees musl retain documentation in the project file either the prevailing wage forms, or a noticq from DLI that the project is not subject to prevailing wage. Fraud reporting ln addition to OGM policy, various state statutes govern reporting of suspected fraud or misuse of state dollars. State workers with information indicating that public resources (including public money) may have been used for an unlawful purpose must report that information. Any other person with such information is strongly urged to report that information. The DNR takes a "no wrong door'' approach for reporting suspected fraud; essentially, the DNR encourages its workforce to report suspected fraud to any DNR supervisor or member of agency leadership, who will connect the person reporting to the correct contact or procedure, as needed. All state agencies are required to report suspected fraud cases to the Department of Revenue fo'r tax fraud investigation, in addition to referring all allegations of suspected fraud to the Office of the Leeislative Auditor andtheMinnesotaBureauofCriminalApprehension,s 7Requirements for DNR Grantees 117 (mnfraud.bureau@state.mn.us or 651-739-3750). Grantees may report suspected fraud directly to these agencies, as well, or to their DNR grant manager or any DNR employee, Requirements for working on state land When working on state land, grantees must follow all applicable policies and requirements of that land. Grantees should work with the appropriate management staff for the state land to determine these requirements. lnsurance is required to do work on state land, following the requirements of Admin. Audits Under Minn. Statutes, chapter 1-68.98 subd. 8, the state (the grantmaking agency, state auditor, attorney general, legislative auditor, Admin, etc.) has the right to perform programmatic or financial audits of the grantee. The grantee's books, records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices relevant to the grant are subject to state examination for a minimum of six years from the expiration or termination of the grant agreement/GAN, receipt and approval of all final reports, or the required period of time to satisfy state and program retention requirements, whichever is later. This provision is also included in grant agreements/GANs. Records retention Grantees must maintain a file for each project with all project agreements, correspondence, and the records pertaining to project expenses requested for reimbursement. Project records are required for monitoring/audit purposes and must be readily available for review. As with all provisions of the grant agreement/GAN, if the state finds a failure to comply, the State may take action, including immediate termination of the grant agreement/GAN with cause, refusal to disburse additional funds, and/or requiring the return of all or part of the funds already disbu rsed. All records related to the project must be retained for a minimum of six years from the grant agreement/GAN end date, or the receipt and approval of all final reports, whichever is later. Some grant funds require permanent retention of the grant records, and in those cases, that requirement supersedes the six-year standard. Data practices Grantees must comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act as it applies to all data created, collected, received, stored, used, maintained, or disseminated by the grantee under their grant agreement/GAN. lf a grantee receives a request to release this data, the grantee must immediately notify the State. Following this notification, the State will provide instructions to the grantee concerning the release of data. Grantees should instruct and train their staff regarding the governing privacy and data practices provisions; maintaining data in a secure manner; and limiting access to work duties and assignments. a a 8Requirements for DNR Grantees 118 Grantees must mitigate risks associated with the unauthorized access or data breach and report to the DNR any real or perceived security or privacy incident regarding any private data in accordance with MGDPA. Grantees are not permitted to use private data with artificial intelligence services unless it is approved through the DNR/Minnesota lT vendor security risk and compliance process. Al services are reviewed and verified through a process that includes understanding the Al's training, ownership of data and level of security. a 9Requirements for DNR Grantees 1r9 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS COUNCIL RESOLUTION Apnl22,2026 No.26-36 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A GRANT AGREEMENT WITH THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT PROGRAM TO ACCEPT zuNDS FOR THE COMMUNITY PARK PLAYGROUND PROJECT WHEREAS, the Minnesota Departrnent of Natural Resources Outdoor Recreation Grant Program provides grant funds to increase and enhance outdoor recreation facilities in local and community parks tfuoughout the state; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Section 465.03 requires that all gifts and donations of real or personal property be accepted only with the adoption of a resolution of the governingbody; and WHEREAS, the MN DNR has awarded the City of Falcon Heights a grant of up to $350,000 for the construction of a new, inclusive playground at Community Park in Falcon Heights; and WHEREAS, the grant allows the City to include pour-in-place (PIP) surfacing throughout the play area, to fully enclose the play area, and to add shade canopies tfuoughou! and NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota, that the grant award of $350,000 from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is hereby accepted; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED thatthe City Council authorizes the City Administrator to execute the Minnesota Departrnent of Natural Resources Outdoor Recreation Grant Program Agreement for the playground project at Community Park and to undertake all necessary administrative actions to implement the terms of the grant.
