POLICY ITEMS:
1,. Open House Meeting with Alley Plowing Organizers
The City mailed letters to the thirteen alley plowing organizers from the city's residential
alleyways to invite them to this special workshop and provided an opportunity for written
comment. The City received three written comments, which were included in the packet. There
were approximately 12 plowing organizers in attendance, with a few allelrways being
represented by multiple members of a household.
City Administrator Linehan walked through the steps taken to date, and explained that this was
an opportunity for the City to hear from the organizers on their experiences with running
alleyway plowing services for their neighborhood.
Attendees were asked to share information about their experience collecting dues for plowing
services. Some reported difficulty reaching 50% participation, while others reported near full
compliance.
The majority of attendees felt that service was good by the current plow services, but did
acknowledge that the City could likely be out more frequently in between triggering snowfall
events and that they would be able to coordinate better with the street plowing that creates
snow windrows.
Public Works Director Callahan explained the process public works takes for response to a
snow storm, and emphasized a departmental culfure that when one task is completed, workers
join each other to help each other's plowing responsibilities so that all can end at the same time.
Attendees showed strong support for the city to take over alley plowing, so an amendment to
the administrative manual policy will be brought forward for adoption during the June 22
Regular City Council Meeting.

STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN X CALLAHAN X
POLICY ITEMS:
1,. City Alley Plowing Discussion / Proposal (6:00 P.M.)
Linehan summarized the preceding special, informal workshop, held with alley plowing
organizers from the city's residential alleyways. Of the 13 relevant alleyways (one being
commercial),9-10 organizers attended in-person, and2 submitted written comments, showing
strong community representation. He explained that the proposal to have the city take over
alley plowing would be formalized through an administrative manual policy-distinct from
city code-and that if the Council provided direction to proceed, formal policy language would
be brought forward for adoption.
Mogen raised a broader concem about mobility and accessibility, noting the city's recent
progress in plowing Larpenteur and clearing bus stops. He expressed concern that adding alley
plowing to public works' responsibilities could push sidewalk maintenance lower in the
operational priority order. He emphasized that any new program must not result in worse
sidewalk conditions for pedestrians, wheelchair users, and others with mobility needs.
Public Works Director Callahan responded that streets and alleys would be addressed
concurrently, not sequentially, and that the city's part-time contractor handles sidewalks as a
separate assignment. He noted the county continually wings snow back, which deposits along
Larpenteur, and that it remains a persistent challenge outside the city's control.
Mogen asked if it makes sense for the city to include maintenance of the sidewalk in front of
Falcon Crossing rather than relying on the business owner(s).
May expressed strong support for city-led alley plowing. She described problems with the
current private contractor model-irregular timing, large snow berms at alley entrances that
force residents to "gun it" over accumulated snow or risk getting sfuck-and stated that the city
would do a significantly better job.
7
Callahan committed to upholding the same standard applied to city streets.
Discussion tumed to operational logistics
Callahan noted that while plowing the length of an alley takes approximately five minutes,
clearing the entrances on both ends is the more time-consuming element due to backing up and
feathering out snow. He estimated the city could expect approximately one to two additional
hours of plowing time per snowfall evenf and indicated that route assignments among the
crew would be adjusted so that all operators finish at roughly the same time.
Regarding Lauderdale, Callahan clarified that one operator typically handles University Grove
and then moves to Lauderdale-where Lauderdale's o\ m public works crew manages all alley
plowing-and that the Falcon Heights portion is handled intemally and concurrently,
Mielke noted that tracking hours and fuel costs for alley operations would be useful.
Linehan acknowledged this would be difficult to break out preciselp but that a general estimate
could be obtained.
Callahan mentioned that vehicle-installed software could potentially assist with more detailed
tracking in the future.
The Council discussed how to handle private property encroachments into city easements
within alleyways, including gardens and landscaping.
Callahan suggested that residents be expected to mark their own property in the easement
rather than the city bearing that full burden.
Linehan proposed a complementary approach: public works staff would flag problematic
obstructions in the fall, and code enforcement letters would be sent to affected property owners
The Council agreed that providing stakes for residents for pickup, combined with proactive
outreach, would be a reasonable approach.
Linehan also noted that the current administrative manual language places sidewalks below
alleys and the City Hall parking lot in the priority order, and flagged this for the Council's
awareness, even though operations are largely concurrent in practice.
Mogen indicated he was comfortable proceeding with the current structure but would revisit
priority ordering after the first operational winter if access issues emerged.
The Council reached consensus to advance the formal policy language to the June22 regular
meeting for action.
2. Parkland Dedication Ordinance (6:25 P.M.)
Linehan presented a revised version of the Parkland Dedication Ordinance, noting that the
primary change since the last Council meeting was the addition of clarifying language in section
C to specify that any privately owned open space referenced in the ordinance must be "for
8
public park and recreation purposes." This addition addressed concerns raised at the prior
meeting. He also confirmed that any parkland dedicated under this ordinance would be for the
city's benefit only-not transferred to Ramsey County or any other entity-and that all
decisions remain at Council's discretion.
Mielke and Gustafson indicated the revised language was clearer and more satisfactory
May acknowledged that the clarification addressed her previous concerry but raised a new
question about the relationship between HOAs and subdivisions within the ordinance's
framework.
Mogen reasoned that there wouldn't be another entity to take on a park without an HOA.
May noted that HOA-maintained open space, while legally public via easement, could still
present equity and accessibility challenges-particularly if higher-income HOA members are
effectively funding the maintenance of spaces used by lower-income residents of the same
development. She emphasized that as the city moves forward with development it should be
vigilant about not building in structures that reduce equity or limit accessibility.
Linehan explained that a public easement provides legal protection against discriminatory
exclusion, and that the Council would retain discretion to require full city ownership and
maintenance of any trails or open space rather than accepting a public-private arrangement. He
acknowledged that many of those finer decisions would fall to future councils as development
specifics materialize.
The Council reached consensus to place the Parkland Dedication Ordinance on the June 10
regular meeting agenda for formal action.
3. Goff Public Proposal (6:35 P.M.)
Linehan introduced a proposal to engage Goff Public, a communications firm with which the
city has an established relationship, to assist with a proactive media and communications
strategy in anticipation of the expected public and press attention surrounding the potential sale
of the golf course. The proposed engagement would be billed at an hourly rate of $235, not to
exceed $10,000, with any expenditure beyond that amount requiring Council approval.
Linehan made a distinction between this engagement and the public engagement work being
performed by Bolton & Menk. Whereas Bolton & Menk handles public-facing engagement tools
such as open houses, mapping, and community feedback collection, Goff Public's role would
focus on crafting written messaging and coordinating with media- areas that city staff do not
perform as a core function.
Linehan then cited lessons from the pay-by-mobile parking rollout, where a reactive
communications posture led to a less favorable media experience, and contrasted it with the
police-related communications effort, which benefited from a more proactive approach in
parturership with Goff Public.
Mielke expressed some reservations about the quality of Goff Public's prior work, particularly
with respect to earlier press releases on the parking program, and suggested that a competitive
quote process might be appropriate.
o
Mogen shared that they do have experience with developments, and Ramsey County utilizes
them quite a bit.
Linehan indicated he was open to obtaining additional quotes for comparison before bringing a
final recommendation to Council. The Council agreed that the item should return to the June 10
meeting, at which point Linehan would present quotes and qualifications as appropriate.
4. Commercial Lot License
Due to time constraints, the Commercial Lot License item was deferred to the June 10 workshop
meeting for discussion, with a potential vote to follow during the regular meeting. Linehan
noted that this item applies to a limited number of businesses and that staff would work
proactively with those businesses to communicate the upcoming change in advance of any
formal action.

PRESENTATION
1,. 2026 Neal Kwong Award Recipient
Mayor Gustafson introduced Gary Kwong and Chris Kwong, who were present with family, to
present he 2026 Neal Kwong Youth Citizenship Award to Katherine Fisher. The award was
established following the tragic death of Neal Kwong, who passed away at the age of L5, and
recognizes Falcon Heights youth between the ages of 12 and 19 who display outstanding
leadership, volunteerism, or citizenship in the community.
Gary Kwong spoke to the spirit of the award, emphasizing that volunteerism is its foundation
and noting that no cash prize is given, as doing so would undermine the message of service. He
reflected on the importance of community involvement and how understanding it changes
across generations. He noted that the award is intended for youth who live in Falcon Heights
and choose to serve, whether within the city or more broadly.
The award recipient, Katherine Fisher, addressed the Council and described her primary
volunteer work at Norway House, a cultural institution in Mirmeapolis. She explained that her
involvement is driven in part by her Norwegian heritage and her desire to connect with and
share her culture with others.
Council Member Mogen took a moment to note that Neal Kwong had been an Eagle Scout, and
to share that his own son had earned his Eagle Scout on May 14th. He encouraged families of
youth who earn their Eagle Scout, Gold Star, or similar distinctions to contact him so that
recognition could be arranged at a future Council meeting.
Council Member Mielke added that she, too, found the occasion personally meaningful, as her
son had previously received the Neal Kwong Award.

Submitted Bv Jack Linehan. City Administrator
Item Public Hearing for the Consideration of Approval of Ordinance26-05
Authorizing Administrative Citations for Parking Violations
Description State Fair Task Force 2.0 met throughout2l24 and2025 to continue the work of
the original State Fair Task Force, which focused on improving quality of life
conditions for residents during the Minnesota State Fair while balancing
neighborhood access, parking management, traffic circulation, and public
safety needs. As part of the 2025 State Fair operations, the City implemented a
pay-by-mobile parking program that generated approximately $49,000 in net
program surplus revenue n2025.
During its final recommendations to the City Council on January 28,2026,5tate
Fair Task Force 2.0 recommended that the City evaluate the use of
administrative citations for non-moving parking violations associated with the
City's parking management program. The Task Force specifically
recommended evaluati.g u civil administrative enforcement model that would
allow parking violations to be handled outside of the criminal misdemeanor
process, while still preserving due process and appeal rights for individuals
receiving citations.
Under the City's current enforcement structure, parking violations are
generally processed through the criminal petty misdemeanor system. Fees are
$50 for most of the year, and double to $100 for August 15th - September 15th,
although the courts do not always correctly assess these costs.
Administrative citation programs are increasingly utilized by Minnesota cities
as an alternative enforcement tool for non-moving violations because they
provide a more streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective process for addressing
routine parking and code enforcement matters. Administrative citations are
civil penalties rather than criminal charges and are intended to provide
compliance-focused enforcement while reducing administrative burdens on
law enforcement agencies and the court system.
The draft ordinance attached for Council discussion would establish a formal
administrative citation process within Chapter 30 of the Falcon Heights City
Code. The proposed ordinance would authorize the City to issue
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
17
administrative citations for violations of Chapter 46, Article II related to
parking regulations and non-moving parking violations.
Key components of the proposed ordinance include:
. Establishment of administrative citations as a civil enforcement
mechanism for non-moving parking violations;. Authorization for citations to be issued either directly to an individual
or attached to a vehicle parked in violation of City Code;
. Creation of an administrative hearing process allowing individuals to
appeal citations before an independent Hearing Examiner;
. Requirements for written notice, hearing procedures, timelines, and
findings to ensure due process protections;. Authority for the City Council to establish administrative penalty
amounts and late fees through the City fee schedule;
. Clarification that administrative penalties would function as civil
penalties and would not constifute criminal misdemeanor charges
unless separate enforcement action is pursued;
. Authorizatron for the City to continue utilizing other enforcement
remedies when necessary.
The draft ordinance also establishes procedures regarding hearing requests,
payment deadlines, hearing examiner authority, and judicial review rights.
Under the proposed program, individuals receiving citations would have 14
business days to either pay the citation or request an administrative hearing.
Failure to respond within the required timeframe would constifute a waiver of
hearing rights and admission of the violation.
The drafted ordinance was published in the Pioneer Press and has been
available online.

ORDINANCE NO. 26.05
CITY OF'FALCON HEIGHTS
RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 30 OF THE FALCON HEIGHTS CITY
CODE CONCERNING ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
Section 1. Chapter 30, Article III of the Falcon Heights City Code is amended in its entirety to
read as follows:
ARTICLE III . ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
Sec. 30-44 - Purpose
(a) The City Council seeks to offer an alternative method of enforcement for city code
violations rather than relying on the criminal court system. The formal criminal prosecution
process does not provide an environment to adequately address the unique and sensitive issues that
are involved in city code violations, including, but not limited to, economic impact, physical
limitations of the offenders and the stigma and unintended consequences of being charged with or
convicted of a misdemeanor offense. In addition, the court system is a slow, overburdened and
methodical process that is not conducive to dealing with the violations in a prompt and timely
manner. Finally, the penalties afforded the criminal court system are restricted to fines or physical
confinement, which are not always effective solutions to address city code violations.
(b) In order to provide more flexibility in addressing city code violations on an individualized
basis that will be more efficient and effective, the City Council finds that an alternative
enforcement process is necessary. Therefore, to protect the health, safety and welfare of the
citizens of the city, it is the City Council's intent to create a process for the use and imposition of
administrative civil penalties that will provide the public and the city with a more effective
alternative method for addressing city code violations.
Sec. 30-45- Definitions As used in this Article, the following terms shall have the respective
meanings ascribed to them:
Administrative Citation or Administrative Penalty: A civil fine that is issued in response to a
violation of this Code.
Administrative Hearing: A scheduled opportunity for parties to present testimony and question
witnesses related to a specific Administrative Citation or appeal.
Sec. 30-46 - Administrative Citations
(a). The administrative procedures and penalties in this Article may, in the discretion of the
City, be used for the provisions of Chapter 46, Article II of this Code,
23885 I v1
19
(b) Except as expressly provided in this section, the provisions of this section may be used
concurrently with or in addition to any other procedure or remedy, criminal or civil, the City may
pursue under the Code, State law, or Federal law. Nothing herein restricts the right of the City to
enter property immediately or to seek other remedies in emergency or other situations as authorized
by the Code, State law, or Federal law. Where differences occur between provisions of this Article
and other applicable Code sections, this Article controls to the extent of such differences. No
provision of the Code that provides a criminal procedure or penalty, or an administrative or civil
procedure or penalty, for a violation of the Code will preclude the application of this section in its
entirety to such violation.
(c) The penalties and procedures provided by this Article will apply to any amendment ofthe Code,
whether or not such penalty is reenacted in the amendment, unless otherwise provided in such
amendment.
(d) Enforcement and Administrative Citation Issuance
(l) A citation issued under Chapter 46, Article II may be issued in person to the alleged
violator or attached to the motor vehicle parked in violation of this code. The citation
must state the date, time, and nature of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the
amount ofthe scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or appealing the citation.
(2) The failure to pay an Administrative Citation within l4 business days after the citation is
issued, or failure to attend a scheduled Administrative Hearing, constitutes a waiver of
the violator's right to a future Administrative Hearing and is an admission of the
violation.
(e) Administrative Hearings
(l) Request for Hearing. Anyone receiving an administrative citation under this Article may
either pay the Administrative Penalty, or petition the City for an Administrative Hearing.
(2) All such petitions must identify with specificity the basis for the objection to the
Administrative Citation and the interpretation of the Code, as well as summarizingany
evidence the petitioner intends to present. Such requests must be filed in writing to the
City Administrator, or their designee, within 14 business days after the date the
Administrative Citation is issued.
(f) Hearing Procedure. Any person issued an Administrative Citation within the City may
petition the City, in writing, for an Administrative Hearing before a Hearing Examiner.
(l) The City will confirm the petitioner's request of an Administrative Hearing and include
information regarding payment of the Administrative Hearing Fee as set forth in the
Article and the Schedule of Fees. This fee willbe refunded if the Administrative Citation
is dismissed, but not if it is affirmed or modified.
23885 I v I
20
(2) Administrative Penalties and Fees. The Council may adopt by ordinance a schedule of
penalties and fees for violations of the Code and the enforcement of this Article.
(a) Unless expressly provided otherwise in the Code, each day a violation exists
constitutes a separate adm ini strative offense.
(b) When an Administrative Citation is issued and served as described in this Article,
the party receiving service has up to l4 business days to pay the Administrative
Citation fee as outlined in the City's schedule of fees. If payment is not received,
or an Administrative Hearing is not requested within 14 business days of the
citation being issued, a late fee will be incurred. The Administrative Penalty Late
Fee is outlined in the City's schedule of fees adopted by ordinance.
(3) Payment Process.
(a) A party who has received an Administrative Citation must, within 14 business days
of the date that the Administrative Citation is issued, pay the amount of any
Administrative Penalty set forth therein, unless that party has requested an
Administrative Hearing as authorized by this section. If the Administrative Citation
penalty is upheld in full or in part by the Hearing Examiner, the petitioner must
make payment to the City within l4 business days of the date of issuance of the
Hearing Examiner's decision, unless another term is prescribed therein.
(b) Any Administrative Penalty may be paid in person at City Hall, by mail or by other
method set forth by the City.
(c) Payment of any Administrative Penalty will be deemed a final admission of the
violation, and thereafter the City may not bring a criminal charge for the same
violation. Ongoing or continuing violations will constitute a new violation for each
day that it is occurring.
(c) Payment of an Administrative Penalty will not excuse the failure to satisfr
compliance orders referenced in the Administrative Citation and such payment will
not bar further enforcement activity by the City for a continuing violation, including
without limitation, the issuance of additional Administrative Citations.
(4) Disposition of Penalties. All penalties collected pursuant to this Article must be paid to
tt't.
-City
and deposited in the appropriate fund and with the appropriate parties.
(5) Maximum Penalty. Each day a violation exists is a separate offense. The maximum
amount of an Administrative Penalty charged for a single offense, as determined by the
City, may not exceed twice the maximum fine authorizedby State law for misdemeanor
offenses, or the maximum fine authorizedby State law for an administrative process.
Sec. 30-47 Administrative Hearings
23885 I v I

THE CITY THAT SOARS
Meetine Date June 10.2026
Aqenda Item HI
Attachment See below
Submitted Bv Jack Linehan, City Administrator
Item Consideration of Accepting Proposal from T2 Systems for Administrative
Citation Hardware, Subscription, and Services Using State Purchasing
Agreement for Parking Violations
Description As part of the 2025 State Fair operations, the City implemented a pay-by-
mobile parking program that generated approximately $49,000 in net program
surplus revenue in2025. And, with the State Fair Task Force 2.0
recommending the use of administrative citations for non-moving parking
violations associated with the City's parking management program as part of
their final presentation to Council on January 26,2026, the City has since been
researching providers of equipment and services related to the City
administratively issuing non-moving parking citations.
In2025, approximately 600 citations were issued, with most of the collections
staying with the court systems. Moving away from a criminal misdemeanor
process for non-moving parking citations will allow collected reve$ue to cover
ihe cost of equipment and services. t
T2 Systems,Inc. (a Verra Mobility Company), has been identified as a provider
through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing, a competitive state bidding
system that Falcon Heights is part of, which ensures we get the competitive
pricing. T2 Systems provides parking management solutions to universities
and municipalities to help reduce enforcement costs and increase citation
collection. T2 Systems is a fuIl-service, cerffied collection administration
solution, offering Falcon Heights the services of handheld license plate readers
(LPRs) and ticket printers, citation processing, registered owner retrieval, letter
services, payment processing, and collections. It is important to note that the
LPRs would differ from police ones in that it does not tie into a court database
to run registration/VlN information. Instead, it just checks if the license plate
matches a customer who has paid for parking through ParkMobile with a
direct integration with the pay-by-mobile solution.
As part of the three-year contract, T2 Systems, Inc. will provide three handheld
devices with data plans, allowing st#f to look up license plates and issue
citations for parking violations, as well as handle the automatic delinquency
notifications sent for non-payments. Most vendors require year-round
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
73
subscriptions, but the City was able to work out an agreement where one
device has year-round services and the other two are only for a 30-day period
during the Fair.
In addition, the Proposal with T2 Systems, Inc. includes personalized webinar
training.
The price of services in year'1.: $20,020, plus tax
The price of services in year 2: $8,496, plus tax
The price of services in year 3: $8,496, plus tax
Total contract cost over three years: $39,279.84
In addition to the costs above, T2 Systems will charge $1.30 per automated
mail notification sent and $2.50 per vehicle lookup. This is done only when the
owner doesn't pay their violation through T2 Systems within the set period,
say 14-days.
For the administrative citations, the City will be bringing an amendment to the
fee schedule on June 22"d to propose fees as follows:
. Administrative Parking Violation - $60 plus processing fees (3.5%)
o Late Payment - Administrative Parking Violation - $80 plus processing
fees (3.5%) for violations not paid within 74 days (letter sent after L4
days and the City incurs lookup costs & letter costs)
. Delinquent Payments - $100 plus processing fees (3.5%) for violations
not paid within 15-60 days after violation (2na letter sent at 30 days)
. Collections - $100 plus 30% collections fee, 60 days after nonpayment.
For each of the proposed fees, the City would keep the citation fee, and T2
Systems collects the processing fees & collections costs. These fees will fund the
citation program.
If City Council accepts the proposal, staff and the city attorney will finalize a
contract with T2 Systems to begin ordering equipment and implementing the
Program.

interim planner for Arden Hills during a recent vacancy. He came highly
recommended when talking to those who have worked with him.
The consulting planner position will be mainly remote, but with a designated
4-hours office time every-other-week during the vacancy. Most of our permits
and plan reviews are digital, but this designated office hours will allow us to
schedule meetings with the planner if residents want an in-person meeting.
Bolton & Menk's proposal is for hourly contracted services. Based on the
proposal, staff anticipates that it will range from $6,000 to $8,500 per month,
depending on service needs.
As an additional benefit, Bolton & Menk is our consultant for the Les Bolstad
Golf Course redevelopment, which is the largest planning projects on the
horizon. Having that coordination within the firm will be a benefit.
As the start date of the leave is undetermined, staff is requesting authorization
from Council to accept a proposal, allowing us to not have a delay in the event
the leave begins sooner than expected.
Budget Impact Staff will likely need to make a budget adjustment for this service, as it was not
a budgeted cost. There are funds available from another staffing vacancy and
other savings to date, so we do not anticipate going over our general fund
budget with these costs.
