STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN X
POLICY ITEMS:
1,. Les Bolstad Golf Course Sale Discussion (6:00 P.M.)
Linehan provided an update on the University of Minnesota's selection of Rachel
Development as the buyer for the Les Bolstad Golf Course site, announced the previous
Friday. The University had received five proposals and evaluated them based on fit with
the City's vision, price, and financial stability of the developer. The Board of Regents
Finance and Operations Committee was scheduled to review the proposal the following
day, with a full Board vote anticipated at the end of June or in July. Linehan noted that
once the Board approves the sale, the project effectively transitions from a University
matter to a city-led process.
Linehan introduced a RACI matrix framework (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted,
Informed) as a potential tool for clariSring roles among the City Council, Planning
Commission, Community Advisory Committee (CAC), Technical Advisory Committee
(TAC), and other commissions throughout the development process. He explained that
a key principle of RACI is that only one party holds responsibility and one holds
accountability for any given task, preventing overlap and confusion.
Mogen sought clarification on the CAC's specific role, noting thatwhile they would not
formally approve items such as an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) or an
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR), they would be doing substantive
preparatory work toward a master plan recommendation.
Linehan confirmed the CAC's role is advisory and recommending - th"y would work
through the details with the developer and recommend a master plan to the City
Council and Planning Commission, who hold formal approval authority.
Wassenberg agreed that the RACI framework was well-suited to distinguishing who
does the work from who makes the final decision, and suggested that commissions may
serve a "support" function distinct from being formally consulted. He recommended that
C.
4
staff prepare a first draft of the completed RACI matrix for council review, rather than
working through it line by line during a meeting.
May agreed with that approach and emphasized the value of linking the RACI matrix to
the existing project timeline as a living document. She also highlighted the importance
of defining how city commissions, particularly the Environment Commission, given the
City's Climate Action Plan, could support their CAC representatives.
Linehan confirmed that periodic check-ins between the CAC, TAC, and City Council
were already built into the process map, with the intent to ensure alignment at key
milestones.
Regarding the timeline, Linehan noted that the developer's purchase agreement with the
University contemplates a contingency period of at least 12 months with multiple
extension options, aligning closely with the city's projected master plan adoption
timeline of approximately 20 months, placing a potential closing near the end of 2027.
Mogen raised a concern about the Snelling-Larpenteur Corridor Study being treated as a
baseline document for the development. He stated that he does not view it as a
foundational planning document and expressed a desire for the developer and the CAC
to understand early on that the City's visioning document - not the Corridor Study -
should be the primary reference point so there would be no confusion later about a
change in direction.
Gustafson provided context noting that the Corridor Study had originally focused on
blighted properties along Larpenteur Avenue and that the golf course was incorporated
somewhat incidentally as it came into consideration during the same period.
Linehan offered that the two documents are not in conflict - both emphasize open
space at roughly 18-20 percent of the land, prioritize higher-density housing, affordable
housing, green initiatives, and trail connectivity - but acknowledged the Corridor
Study's limitations, including that it never resulted in a comprehensive plan amendment
or rezoning. The current comprehensive plan still designates the site as a golf course.
Mogen affirmed that while the corridor study has value, the critical point is that the City
should communicate openly with the developer early and collaboratively, rather than
risk a developer claiming mid-process that they had been working off of a document the
City later departed from.
Council reached consensus directing staff and consultants to prepare a draft RACI
matrix for council review, with descriptions of key deliverables and identification of
major decision milestones. It was agreed that the document would be a living record,
updated as the process evolves.
2. Falcon Heights Elementary Backstop (6:30 P.M.)
Linehan provided background on the removal of one of two baseball backstops at
Falcon Heights Elementary. He explained that the City and school had historically
partrered closely on programming and grounds maintenance, a relationship that had
5
lapsed in the late 2000s to early 2010s. Re-establishing that relationship had been
identified as a City Council goal. When the school received a Tree Trust grant for a tree
planting project, Linehan participated on the working group, and the school
subsequently asked whether the City could assist with some physical site
improvements, including removing a backstop that was interfering with their project
area. Staff confirmed the city had no planned programming uses for the backstop and
agreed to assist. City crews removed the structure at the school's requesf which
subsequently generated community concern and questions about who had made the
decision.
Council members broadly agreed that the school, as the property owner, had the
authority to make that decision, and that the City's involvement was appropriate
assistance to a neighbor.
Wassenberg noted that if there was any misstep, it may have been in the school's
outreach to the surrounding neighborhood prior to the removal, but that the City had
properly acted in a consulting and supporting capacity, not as a decision-maker.
Mogen clarified that he viewed the two underlying questions - whether it was
appropriate for the city to use pubhc works staff to assist and whose decision it was to
remove the backstop - as separate issues that had been conflated in public discourse.
He expressed no concern about the use of public works for such assistance and said he
would like the City to be even more proactive in offering help to the schools where
feasible.
May agreed that the school had clear authority over their property, but suggested the
Council be informed of such parhrerships in advance so they are not caught off guard by
resident questions. She also raised the broader concept of developing informal
guidelines for when public works assistance to outside entities is appropriate, so that
staff have a reference point for future requests - particularly as occasional one-time
help could evolve into ongoing service commitments.
Mogen agreed with the spirit of that idea while noting he would not want overly formal
processes to slow down the Cty's ability to be a responsive neighbor.
Linehan used the opportunity to raise the related question of the northeast quadrant's
lack of a dedicated city park, noting that Falcon Heights Elementary serves as the de
facto park for many nearby residents. He suggested that a future parks master plan -
the last one having been completed in 2014 - could explore a formal partrership with
the school around shared use and potential city investment in maintenance, in exchange
for broader community access outside of school hours.
Council members responded positively to the idea as a longer-term consideratiory while
acknowledging the inherent constraints of school property use during school hours.
No formal action was taken. Council reached general consensus that the backstop
removal was handled appropriately, and that fufure opportunities for a structured
school parbrership and a parks planning process merit further exploration.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Approval of Ordinance26-05 Amending Chapters 30 and 46 of the Falcon Heights City
Code Conceming Parking Regulations and Issuing Administrative Citations for Non-Moving
Parking Violadons
Linehan provided a staff overview of Ordinance 26-05. He explained that the proposal
arose from the State Fair Task Force 2.0, which recommended moving away from the
criminal petty misdemennor process for non-moving parking violations associated with
the City's pay-by-mobile parking program. Under the existing process/ parking
ambassadors identified violations, contacted police officers to issue tickets, and fines
were collected through the court system - a process that proved cumbersome during
the 2025 State Fair and resulted in inconsistent fine collection.
Linehan outlined the key rationale for the change: administrative citations are civil
penalties that do not appear on a violator's driving record, they relieve the
overburdened court system, and they free up police officers to focus on traffic and
public safety rather than issuing parking tickets. He noted that of approximately 600
E.
F
I
G.
citations issued during the 2025 fair, roughly 560 were for non-payment of parking fees
- a category well-suited to an administrative process. The ordinance would amend
Chapter 30 of the City Code, establish a formal administrative hearing process with due
process protections, and authorize the City Council to set fine amounts through the fee
schedule. Recipients would have 14 business days to pay or request a hearing.
Mayor Gustafson opened the public hearing. No members of the public came forward to
speak. The public hearing was called for additional speakers twice more before being
closed by consent.
Wassenberg expressed strong support for the ordinance, highlighting that it
decriminalizes whatis essentially a minor infraction, keeps violations out of the
overburdened court system, and frees police resources for genuine safety matters. He
also noted that the administrative process gives the city greater flexibility to consider the
circumstances surrounding individual infractions - something that is more difficult
once a matter enters the criminal court system.
May, who had served on the State Fair Task Force, echoed these points and added that
resident survey results as well as direct conversations with police officers both
confirmed that police time would be better directed toward public safety. She expressed
her intent to hold further concerns for the implementation discussion, but affirmed her
support for reducing the fine amount to better fit the nature of the inJraction and for the
decriminali zalton aspect.
Mogen supported the ordinance and noted the additional benefit of establishing
administrative citations as a flexible enforcement tool that could be extended to other
less-serious City Code violations in the future.
Gustafson concurred with all members, noting the ordinance resolves enforcement
challenges that have persisted for some time.

POLICY ITEMS:
1. Proposed T2 Systems Agreement for Administrative Citation Hardware,
Subscriptions and Services Using State Purchasing Agreement
Linehan introduced the T2 Systems proposal as the operational follow-up to Ordinance
26-05, presenting a slideshow demonstration of the system. He described the deficiencies
of the 2025 fair enforcement process, in which parking ambassadors manually searched
license plates on cell phones and then texted violations to police officers who were
simultaneously responding to other calls. The proposed T2 Systems solution would
replace that process with three handheld all-in-one devices combining a license plate
reader, phone, and ticket printer, all integrated directly with the ParkMobile payment
database. The devices would automatically check whether a vehicle had paid, alert the
ambassador, and allow them to print a citation on the spot with photos attached. If a
citation goes unpaid within 1"4 days, T2 Systems automatically runs a license plate
owner lookup ($2.50 per search) and mails a collection letter ($1.30 per letter). Linehan
noted that, unlike police license plate readers, the city's devices would have no
connection to law enforcement databases - th"y would only check whether a plate had
paid for parking.
The three-year contract, sourced through the Sourcewell state cooperative purchasing
agreement was priced at$20,020 in year one and 98,496 in each of years two and three,
plus tax, for a total of $39,279.84. Two competing vendors were reviewed; the other
vendor was approximately three times more expensive. Linehan noted T2 Systems has a
direct integration with ParkMobile and is used by several Minnesota cities including
Mankato and Red Wing, as well as by the Hibbing Police Departrnent.
Linehan also highlighted the data analytics features of the system, including GPS
tracking of ambassadors, mapping of citation locations, and per-officer citation reports
- tools that could help refine signage strategy and ambassador deployment in future
years. He further noted that the plafform could be expanded to support citywide
parking permits and, potentially, code enforcement citations for an additional
approximately $2,000.
Wassenberg clarified that even with lower proposed fine amounts, citation revenue was
expected to cover the cost of the program, as the city would now collect a higher
percentage of fines than it had through the court system. He also noted the system's
primary benefit is streamlining the ambassador's enforcement workflow, not just
managing citations after the fact.
Linehan confirmed that police officers would continue to handle violations involving
public safety concems - such as parking too close to intersections, blocking alleys, or
situations requiring a tow - while ambassadors would focus exclusively on non-
payment of parking fees. He acknowledged that it would be unreasonable to train
seasonal ambassadors to make the same judgment calls that police officers develop
through field training.
11
Wassenberg raised the question of potential "double fining" for vehicles that were both
parked unsafely and had not paid. The consensus was that a vehicle parked illegally -
such as at a comer - would not be in a designated paid parking zone and therefore
would notbe subject to a non-payment citation; only one ticket would apply.
May raised two additional concerns, firsf regarding data privacy. May asked what
protections exist against hacking and whether any collected data could be accessed by or
sold to third parties, including federal agencies.
Linehan acknowledged the contract was still under attomey review, noting that T2
Systems segregates client data to prevent cross-contamination in the event of a breach,
and that the system does not tie into law enforcement databases. He committed to
ensuring those data protection provisions are addressed in the final contract.
Wassenberg noted the presentation materials did not include a security statement and
asked that it be incorporated into the contract review.
Mogen and another council member independently raised concems about data
commercialization - specifically whether license plate data collected through the
system could be sold or used for marketing purposes - and indicated this should be
clearly prohibited in the contract terms.
Second, May raised the issue of ambassador safety, noting that issuing citations directly
creates a more confrontational dynamic than simply reporting violations to police.
Linehan confirmed that de-escalation training, supervisor contact protocols, and a clear
directive to leave any unsafe situation had been part of ambassador training in 2025 and
would continue. He also noted the ambassadors do not carry money, reducing one
incentive for confrontation, and that police officers would remain present and accessible
throughout the neighborhood. He acknowledged that the higher-than-average seasonal
wage reflects, in part the unique demands of the role.
Mogen noted the system's affordability, expressed appreciation that two vendors were
evaluated, and was supportive, given the company's track record with comparable
municipalities.
Councilmember Wassenberg motions to approve Resolution 26-52
Accepting a Proposal from T2 Systems Incorporated for the
Administrative Citation Hardware, Subscriptions, and Services Using the
State Purchasing Agreement for Parking Violations;
Approved 4-0
2. Accept Proposal from Bolton & Menk for Lrterim Planning Consultant Services and
Authorize City Administuator to Negotiate a Contract
Linehan introduced this item by explaining that an upcoming planned leave from the
City Planner position - with timing still to be determined - created a need for interim
planning coverage during a critical period. Planning is an area in which no other city
staff member can step in to conduct plan reviews, and the City is currently managing
several complex projects, most notably the Fairway Commons development, which
12
involves a high volume of ongoing plan review and data analysis. He noted that the City
has contracted for interim planning services in the past.
Staff requested proposals from two qualified firms - Bolton & Menk and Landform -
both of which were available to begin immediately. After a weighted evaluation across
criteria including relevant experience, primary contact qualifications, service approach,
responsiveness, and cosf Bolton & Menk scored higher overall (4.15 vs. 3.95). The
designated primary planner, TJ Hofer, was described as highly experienced, having
served as interim planner in Arden Hills and as the designated planner for Scandia and
Taylors Falls, with specific experience on large-scale developments. Senior Planning
Advisor Jenni Faulkner, who led Burnsville's community development department for
20yearc, would provide additional expertise on complex matters. The estimated
monthly cost ranged from $6,000 to $8,500, depending on service needs.
Linehan also noted that Bolton & Menk is the City's existing consultant for the Les
Bolstad Golf Course redevelopment providing an added coordination benefit between
the interim planning role and the city's largest pending planning project.
May stated the engagement appeared necessary and that the two firms scored similarly
overall, making Bolton & Menk's familiarity with the city's existing projects a sensible
tiebreaker. She expressed confidence in the selection.
Mogen wanted to identify Landform as "Firm B" for the public record, which Linehan
confirmed, noting it was the other firm evaluated.
Council members expressed general support agreeing that the cost was reasonable and
the timing important given the pending workload.
Councilmember Mogen motions to approve Resolution 26-53 Accepti.g u
Proposal from Bolton & Menk for Interim Planning Services and
Authorizing the City Administrator to Negotiate a Contrac!
Approved 4-0
I: INFORMATION / ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Mogen reported that the Planning Commission did not meet in the prior month and is
scheduled to meet on June 23rd. He had no other items to report.
Wassenberg announced that Falcon Heights' Night at the Goldstein Museum of Design is
scheduled for Thursday, June 18, from 5:00 to 6:30 PM at the University of Minnesota St. Paul
campus. He described it as a hidden gem in the neighborhood and encouraged residents to
attend. He also reported in his capacity as liaison to Northeast Youth and Family Services
(NYFS) that the organization is progressing tfuough its annual budgeting process on a more
stable footing than in prior years, improving consistency for both staff and clients. He noted
NYFS is accepting donations of toiletries and personal care supplies for its emergency pantry,
and encouraged residents to reach out to the organization.
May reported that the Environment Commission had a productive meeting, identifying near-
term goals within the Climate Action Plan focused on waste management, and discussing how
the commission can better support the city's representative on the Community Advisory
Committee (CAC). She noted that the commission is still looking for tree placement locations
13
and encouraged residents to contact city staff if interested. The Lawn and Garden Tour is
planned for July L8th, with garden sign-ups open through the end of June; this year, a Ramsey
County garden educator will circulate among the participating gardens. May also reported
attending a quarterly Active Living meeting organized by Ramsey County and the Met Council,
which she described as a valuable resource for grant opporfunities related to walking, biking,
and multimodal transportation.
Gustafson reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission did not hold its June meeting, as
members are instead conducting individual park audits. A vacancy exists on the commissiory
with applications accepted tfuoughJune 28th. The July meeting has been rescheduled from
Monday, July 6th, to Thursday,July 9th, due to the Philando Castile candlelight vigil and Unity
Day observances occurring earlier that week. The Ice Cream Social is scheduled for the third
Thursday of July.
May added that the July 6th candlelight vigil marks the 10th anniversary of Philando Castile's
shooting, and that parking has been arranged in the north end of the State Fair parking lots to
make attendance easier for residents.
Linehan reported that the Community Park improvement project is progressing well. The
parking lot is fully striped - effectively doubling the available parking without expanding the
lot's footprint - and only required the concrete gutter pour to cure before opening. Remaining
work includes final walkways, water connection permitting, seeding, final cleanup, and
staining wood surfaces on the interior and exterior of the building. Staff anticipates the park
will be ready for a soft launch of the splash pad before the Ice Cream Social, which would serve
as the official ribbon-cutting. Linehan also noted that the Community Engagement Commission
is likely to cancel its upcoming meeting, with the goal of introducing members to a new staff
liaison at the July meeting; hiring for the Administrative and Communications Coordinator
position is underway with a strong applicant pool. He reported that Saint Anthony Village has
formally approved a joint powers agreement with the Minnesota State Fair for law enforcement
services - a long-standing goal of the State Fair Task Force. The CAC's second meeting will be
held the following week, beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a walking tour of the Highland Bridge
development in Saint Paul, followed by a meeting at a nearby venue to discuss community
engagement strategies for the golf course project. Finally, Linehan announced that the City's
new website at falconheightsmn.gov has launched, including a feafure allowing residents to
sign up for email or text notifications when new council agendas are published.
J: COMMUNITY FORUM:

STAFF PRESENT: LINEHAN X
POLICY ITEMS:
1. Proposed Changes to 2026 Fee Schedule (6:00 P.M.)
Linehan introduced the proposed fee schedule amendments, noting that rather than
bringing changes individually, staff had consolidated several items for efficiency.
Additions were indicated with underlines and removals with strikethroughs throughout
the document.
Commercial Lot License Fee (Page 6 of the packet): Linehan proposed a $35 fee for the
upcoming commercial lot license, noting it was designed to cover approximately half an
hour of staff time per license. He acknowledged this was likely on the low end but was
intended to remain fair to Falcon Heights businesses, with the understanding that the
fee could be reassessed if administration proved more time-intensive. The commercial
lot ordinance itself was not yet readp as the Planning Commission was scheduled to
address the related zoning district question the following evening. The license and its fee
would come before the Council on |uly 8tt.
Community Park Facility Rental Fees (Page 11 of the packet): Linehan presented existing
rental fees and suggested future determinations should be made for the new
Community Park shelter and kitchery which would begin accepting fall reservations
once formally announced. He clarified that renters would receive exclusive use of the
shelter, kitchen/servery, and seating underneath, but not the adjacent bathrooms,
playground, or splash pad. Access to the kitchen would be secured via a temporary code
issued with the reservation. The goal was to keep restrooms accessible to the public
throughout the day.
The Council discussed the logistics of same-day "flip" rentals - scheduling a morning
and afternoon rental back-to-back - and the cleaning challenges that would create.
Mogen raised the need for a clear, pre-established cleaning plan rather than an ad hoc
response, emphasizing that staff should not be scrambling to find public works
17
personnel after a group departs. He also suggested that cleaning costs should be charged
at actual cost rather than capped at the deposit amounf so that a large mess does not
simply become a convenient flat fee.
May suggested that a straightforward deposit forfeiture - rather than a tiered schedule
of infractions - was the cleaner approach, while also recommending the deposit be set
at a level that meaningfully deters negligent cleanup.
Wassenberg suggested contacting Roseville to learn from their shelter rental experience
and policies.
Gustafson raised the question of whether to limit rentals to one per day to avoid the
logistical burden of turnovers.
Linehan acknowledged that the rental policy had not yet been fully developed, and that
the Parks Commission would need to adopt a formal policy addressing all of these
operational details. He noted that demand for rentals was already significant, with
residents actively inquiring about availability.
The Council concurred that while fees should be se! the underlying policy needed
substantially more development before finalizatioru with a possible August timeline for
final adoption.
Administrative Citation Fees for ParkMobile Parking The primary driver of the fee
schedule update was the establishment of fees for administrative citations related to
non-payment of parking through the ParkMobile app. Linehan explained that the T2
Systems platform would handle much of the back-end processing, including issuing
tickets and managing payment workflows. If a vehicle owner did not pay within the
initial window, T2 would conduct a license plate lookup to identify the registered owner
and send a notice - each step incurring a small additional cost to the city.
The Council discussed at length the appropriate structure and amounts for the citation
fine schedule.
Mogen proposed a tiered approach: a modest surcharge for prompt payment a higher
fine if paid within 1,4 days, and a further escalation if the matter proceeded toward
collections or a hearing. He expressed concern that a $60 fine payable within 1.4 days -
as originally proposed - was high enough that recipients might be inclined to contest
the ticket, creating additional administrative burden. He suggested that keeping the
initial fine low would encourage prompt voluntary payment.
Wassenberg agreed, noting that given the tight enforcement by parking ambassadors,
the rate of unpaid violations would be low, and that the goal should be to make it easy
and inexpensive for people to simply pay rather than contest. He suggested the fine, at
the early payment tier, should cover the $25 parking fee plus a reasonable
administrative cost - perhaps in the range of $20 - rather than a punitive amount.
May proposed a structure with a minimal fine if paid immediately upon returning to the
vehicle, escalating to a mid-level fine within 1,4 days, and a higher amount beyond that.
1B
She recommended keeping the tier strucfure simple - no more than two or three levels
- to avoid complexity and disputes.
After discussion, the Council converged on the following general framework for staff to
bring back on July 8th:. Within T2hotrs: $35 plus credit card convenience fee. Days 3-14: $60 plus credit card convenience fee. Days 15-59: $85 plus credit card convenience fee. Day 60+: $100 plus 30% (collections tfueshold)
Linehan confirmed this approach and noted that the 1,4-day window aligned with
standard administrative citation practice, including the city's existing framework for
sheriff-issued citations.
Credit Card Processing Fees: Linehan noted that the City was currently running two
credit card processing vendors: AllPaid (in use since approximately 2018-2019), and the
newer Payroc, which is specific to iWorQ, used for the city's online permitting system
Staff proposed formally listing both fee structures in the fee schedule, with clear
distinctions: The Council accepted this approach and asked that the final version clearly
specify which fee applies to building permits versus other transactions.
Other Fee Schedule Notes: Wassenberg flagged that the community garden plot fee
entry should be repositioned in the document to avoid confusion with nearby items.
Linehan noted that the City does not currently charge for the resident handbook
distributed to new residents, and that the existing fee entry was a legacy item created in
case realtors requested bulk copies - a practice that staff confirmed was not actively
charged.
The Council was satisfied with this explanation.
Linehan also noted additional fee items in development that were not yet ready for
consideration, includinga zoningletter/inquiry fee and escrow fees related to
anticipated community development activity near the golf course.
The Council directed staff to bring a revised fee schedule - with the administrative
citation structure refined, the credit card fee descriptions clarified, and the community
park rental policy further developed - for action at the July 8th meeting, with some
components potentially returning in August.
2. Coalition for Safe & Stable Communities Phase II Consideration (6:20 P.M.)
Mayor Gustafson summarized a meeting held the prior week in New Brighton, attended
by mayors and administrators from approximately 24-26 cities, at which the
accomplishments of the Coalition for Safe & Stable Communities Phase I were reviewed
19
a
and Phase II was introduced. The group's organizing rationale was to maintain the inter-
municipal coalition rather than allow it to dissolve and require reformation should new
challenges emerge.
The total Phase II cost to all participating cities is $30,000 for one year, with Minnetonka
holding the contract with the consulting firm Momentum. Wirh2z of the 26 cities having
already committed, Falcon Heights' share would be approximately $1,200-91,500.
Gustafson indicated he had tentatively signaled Falcon Heights' likely participation at
the meeting.
Wassenberg acknowledged some skepticism about Phase I's outcomes, stating that the
listed accomplishments had seemed focused primarily on securing state funding for
cities rather than on more substantive organizational or legal efforts at the federal level.
He remained open to being convinced of the coalition's value, but asked for more detail
on what Phase II would actually accomplish.
Mogen raised concern about the organization becoming a "zombie" - continuing
indefinitely without a clear purpose - and asked whether participation provided any
meaningful benefit to city administration or staff capacity.
Linehan offered that Phase I had provided real value through centralized information
sharing during a period of significant federal uncertainty, bringing elected officials
together into a unified regional voice that represented a meaningful share of the state's
population. He noted that neither the League of Minnesota Cities nor Metro Cities - the
two other organizations Falcon Heights belongs to, at a combined cost of roughly
$14,000-$15,000 per year - conduct any federal-level advocacy, making this coalition
the only vehicle for that function.
For Phase II, Linehan indicated the group's anticipated focus would be election security
- specifically, countering narratives at the federal level questioning the integrity of
Minnesota elections.
Wassenberg noted the relevance of that focus given recent federal activity around mail-
in ballots.
The Council broadly agreed that the cost was modes! the value was reasonable, and
participation was appropriate, with the understanding that this was a one-year
commihnent subject to evaluation before any future renewal.
3. Other Council Topics & Future Agenda Item Discussion (6:40 P.M.)
Linehan identified the following items for upcoming agendas:
July 8th: Discussion of resident State Fair parking pass policy, to provide direction ahead
of the mailing cycle. Staff noted the City was currently operating under the 2025
framework and needed Council direction on any changes.
July (Budget workshop 1) and August (additional budget workshops): scheduled
budget discussions.
20
Linehan also noted a correction to the current agenda: the CAC review and selection
item had been inadvertenfly referenced in the staff report due to use of an old RCA
template, and was not intended to be on this workshop's agenda.
D. ADIOURNMENT: 6:58 P.M.

PRESENTATION
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
'1,. Issuance of Conduit Multifamily Housing Revenue Notes for Multifamily Housing
Project (Fairway Commons)
City Administrator Linehan presented an overview of the proposed conduit bond
issuance for Fairway Commons, a proposed 110-unit age-restricted multifamily rental
development to be located at1.670 Larpenteur Avenue West. The project had previously
received zoningapprovals from the City Council and Planning Commission.
Linehan explained that the bonower, Fairway Commons, requested that the City issue
conduit revenue notes to finance the acquisition, constructiory and equipping of the
project. In December 2025, the Council adopted Resolution 25-'1,09, granting initial
approval and authorizing the city's application for a volume cap. The city subsequently
received a state allocation of $22,790,000 in tax-exempt bonding authority in January
2026.Lrnehan emphasized that the notes carry no financial liability for the City; they do
not constitute city debt, do not affect the City's bond rating or debt limits, and all
repayment obligations rest solely with the borrower. The City would receive an issuer
fee estimated at approximately $62000, representing one-quarter of one percent of the
D
E.
F.
23
note amount. The issuance was drafted by bond counsel TaftLaw, with a deadline of
July 11,2026,before the City's volume cap allocation would expire.
The public hearing was opened. Margaret Clarkin of 1618 Hollywood Court came
forward to ask a general question about the location of the project, which the Mayor
briefly clarified. No other members of the public came forward, and the hearing was
closed by consent after three calls.
During council discussiory May asked for clarification on the concept of "volume cap,"
which Linehan explained is a state-imposed limit on tax-exempt bonding authority,
noting that conduit revenue notes are exempt from the City's own volume cap.
May also asked about the consequences of cost overruns (the borrower's sole
responsibility), the meaning of "long-term" income and rent restrictions, and what
would happen to affordability requirements after the bond period expires.
Linehan clarified that the Met Council financing agreement attached to the project
carries a longer affordability restriction period-potentially 30 years-and that it is
highly unusual for affordable housing to revert to market rate.
Mogen stated he was satisfied that the city bore no liability and that the project would
facilitate affordable housing for older adults.
Council Member Mogen moved approval of Resolution26-54
Authorizing the Issuance of Multifamily Conduit Revenue Bonds
for the Fairway Commons Project.
The motion carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.

2. Approval of Resolution26-55 Approving the Vacation of Storm Sewer Easement at
'J.670 Larpenteur Avenue (Fairway Commons)
City Engineer Henricksen presented an overview of the proposed vacation of a public
storm sewer easement at 1670 Larpenteur Avenue. He explained that an Alta survey
conducted during development review identified two storm sewer easements on the
property. The easement subject to tonight's hearing is a l0-foot-wide drainage and utility
easement in favor of Falcon Heights, located on the south side of the property. A separate
easement on the north side of the property benefits Ramsey County; the applicant was
concurrently pursuing vacation of that easement before the Ramsey County Board on
July 7th.
Henricksen explained that the vacation is necessary because the current storm sewer pipe
runs through the footprint of the approved Fairway Commons building. The developer
proposed relocating the pipe slightly to the east to facilitate construction, after which a
24
new public easement over the relocated pipe would be recorded. Staff recommended
approval, as the relocation maintains the benefit of the public storm sewer infrastructure
and is consistent with the approved development. Henricksen also noted that a
companion item on the consent agenda included the new drainage and utility easement
and an encroachment agreement.
The public hearing was opened.
Margaret Clarkin of 161 8 Hollywood Court expressed confusion over the public notice
she received, stating the letter was "clear as mud" and asking whether Hollywood Court
would be affected by any construction or street disruption, noting she had seen orange
utility flags in the area.
Farook Meah of 1597 Hollywood Court also came forward, noting that Hollywood Court
lacked storm sewer infrastructure and asked whether it would be connected to the new
line.
After three calls for additional comment, the public hearing was closed by consent
In response to public questions, Henricksen clarified during council discussion that the
vacation and pipe relocation are entirely contained within the 1670 Larpenteur Avenue
property and have no direct impact on Hollywood Court. He displayed a map showing
the red storm sewer lines and confirmed that no construction would extend into the
abutting residential street. He also explained that by state statute, the City is required to
notifr all properties within a buffer area around a vacated public easement, which is why
neighboring residents received notice, even if they are not directly impacted.
Regarding the orange flags seen in the area, Linehan clarified that a private utility, Arvig
Enterprises, was relocating cable and fiber infrastructure from a building on the southern
portion of the development site to a new building on State Fair property, routing conduit
through the alleyway. This work was authorized by city right-of-way and driveway
permits, but is entirely a private matter between the developer and the utility.
Council Member Mogen asked about the drainage pattern of the existing pipe and how it
interacts with Ramsey County's easement.
Henricksen explained that the pipe collects stormwater from Larpenteur Avenue as well
as several local streets, and that Ramsey County's cost participation policy makes the
county responsible for catch basin leads from county roads to the main line.
Wassenberg summarized the core purpose of the action: the pipe must be relocated
because it presently runs under the footprint of the future apartment building, and the
easement is being vacated and re-recorded over the new pipe location.
The Council concurred that this was a straightforward procedural matter required by law.
Council Member Wassenberg moved approval of Resolution 26-55
Approving the Vacation of the Storm Sewer Easement at 1670
Larpenteur Avenue. The motion carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.

Mielke (remote) -AyeWassenberg- Aye
Following approval, Linehan offered brief remarks on several items. He noted excitement
about the active transportation grant application and explained that the playground
removal for Community Park had been reassigned to the playground vendor, Northland
Recreation, rather New Look Contracting, which would keep the playground operational
through the summer until the new equipment is installed. He also formally introduced
Megan Siddons, newly appointed as Administrative and Communications Coordinator,
noting that a highly competitive search had produced a strong candidate pool and that the
staff panel had unanimously supported her selection.
Siddons briefly addressed the Council, expressing enthusiasm for returning to the City
and meeting the new council members.
Wassenberg asked for an updated timeline on the new Community Park playground.
Linehan indicated that equipment delivery is expected August 1st, with approximately 30
days for installation, followed by a 5-day curing period for the poured-in-place rubber
surface, and then fence installation. A mid-September opening is the target, though he
cautioned that delays could push the project into October, at which point cold overnight
26
H:
temperatures would make the rubber surface installation infeasible, potentially defening
completion until spring 2027.
POLICY ITEMS:
1. Approval of Resolution26-60 Amending the Administrative Manual: Section VII
Guidelines for Snow and Ice Control to Facilitate the City Plowing of Alleyways in
Falcon Heights
Linehan provided background on the City's incremental expansion of snow removal
services since2022, which has included Larpenteur Avenue, Lauderdale, newly
constructed sidewalks, and additional commercial properties. He explained that alley
plowing had been identified as a further service the City could provide, noting that most
alleys in Falcon Heights-excluding Hollywood Court-are currenfly maintained
through informal resident-organized agreements, where a neighborhood coordinator
collects funds and contracts privately for plowing. This arrangement can be burdensome
and uneven.
The city held an open house on May 27th with representatives from nearly every
alleyway in Falcon Heights, either in attendance or via written comment. The feedback
was strongly supportive of the City assuming responsibility. Staff recommended
adopting the policy amendment to formally add alley plowing to the City's snow
removal program, beginning in the 2026 snow season.
Council discussion touched on the broader issue of pedestrian infrastrucfure
Mogen expressed continued concern that the priority list in the policy document places
vehicular routes ahead of pedestrian pathways, and stated his intention to revisit the
issue if sidewalk clearance is not elevated as a priority in the future.
May agreed, arguing that assuming alley plowing would actually improve efficiency for
public works by eliminating the need to return repeatedly to remove berms created by
private operators. She did not view the alley and sidewalk plowing priorities as
conflicting objectives.
A member of the public, Rich Rodich of 134-1,Idaho Avenue, an alley coordinator of
approximately 20years, addressed the Council informally at their invitation. He
expressed strong support for the City taking on this responsibility, and noted the
particular challenge of maintaining accessible sidewalks when multiple plowing
entities-Saint Paul, Ramsey County, and Falcon Heights-deposit snow from different
directions. He noted a wheelchair-dependent neighbor who relies on his diligent
sidewalk maintenance.
Council Member Mielke moved approval of Resolution 26-
60 Amending the Administrative Manual, Section VII, to
Authorize City Plowing of Alleyways in Falcon Heights.
The motion carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.

2. Consideration of Contract Amendment #L - WSB Project Management for
Community Park Renovation Project #01
Linehan presented a request to approve Contract Amendment #1 with WSB for an
additional $13,680 in project management services related to the Community Park
Renovation project. He explained that both the City and WSB had worked to avoid a
contract amendment including reducing in-person meetings, shifting parking lot
inspections to Roseville Engineerin& and other measures to stay within the original
contract budget. However, the remaining scope of work exceeded the available contract
funds.
Two primary factors drove the additional costs. First, a significant and unforeseen
change in splash pad permitting jurisdiction occurred during the project Minnesota
Department of Health, which had historically permitted all public splash pads, lost its
sole inspector to retirement and transferred jurisdiction to the Department of Labor and
Industry. The Department of Labor initially required the already-constructed splash pad
to be removed due to the proximity of the drain, before ultimately reaching an
alternative compliance agreement. This unresolved state-level jurisdictional issue-
which Linehan noted affects all splash pads currently being built in Minnesota-
generated substantial additional consultant hours. Second, receiving the state Outdoor
Recreation Grant requires the fencing contract to be rebid in conformance with
prevailing wage requirements, which was not anticipated at the time of the original
contract.
May pressed on whether WSB could have provided better guidance earlier in the
projecf particularly regarding the original building design.
Linehan acknowledged that a significant issue had occurred in the project's history:
WSB's original scope was based on a $3.5 million project that included a community
building. When Kraus Anderson was brought in for pre-construction cost estimating in
spring 2024, they determined the building would cost S5.5 million. The City then
pivoted to a prefab shelter, which saved approximately $2 million long-term, but
resulted in approximately $90,000 in sunk design and consulting costs.
Linehan noted this pivot had been the subject of direct conversations with WSB
leadership about their performance. The decision to retain WSB was based on the fact
that their site planning work remained usable and that WSB itself proposed the prefab
shelter solution as a path forward. He clarified that the hours spent finding a path out of
the building design problem were not billed to the City.
Council Member Wassenberg moved to authorize the City
Administrator to sign Contract Amendment #1 with WSB for finalization of Community
Park improvements in the amount of $13,680.
The motion carried 4-L, with Mielke voting nay.

Council Member Mielke cast the sole dissenting vote, citing her experience on the Parks
and Recreation Commission and concems about mismanagement by WSB.
3. Approval of Resolution26-62 Approving LCDA Loan Documents with Fairway
Commons, Limited Partrership
Linehan presented the Livable Communities Development Act (LCDA) loan document
approval, a follow-up to the Met Council grant of $432,500 previously awarded to
Fairway Commons. He explained that the Met Council has increasingly offered
municipalities the option of structuring these awards as loans rather than grants. The
City had used this same structure for the Amber Union project. The rationale, as
Linehan understood it is that a loan instrument-even a forgivable one -countsdifferently in a developer's financing package than a grant, enabling broader access to
private investment capital.
Under this structure, the City acts as a pass-tfuough conduit. The City executes a
promissory note with Fairway Commons for $432,500, secured by a mortgage on the
property, with a 30-year term expiring in 2056. The Met Council retains authority over
whether and how the funds are ultimately forgiven or redeployed at maturity-typically
back into the project or into other affordable housing initiatives. The City bears no
financial risk and does not pledge its credit or taxing authority.
Mogen asked clarifying questions about the structure: whether the agreement runs
between the City and Fairway Commons (confirmed), whether the Met Council
ultimately controls forgiveness (confirmed, in consultation with the City), and whether
the City could ever be held responsible for the funds.
Linehan stated he had raised this question with both the Met Council and the City's
bond attomeys, and no scenario had been identified in which the City would be liable.
Both the city attorney and bond counsel reviewed and approved the documents.
Linehan also confirmed that the 3O-year loan term reinforces the affordability restriction
for the duration.
A brief clerical matter arose regarding the re,ssluti6. number; the agenda listed the item
as Resolution26-63, but the correct sequential number was determined to be26-62.The
record was corrected accordingly.
Mayor Gustafson moved approval of Resolution26-62
Approving the LCDA Loan Documents with Fairway Commons,
Limited Partnership. The motion carried 5-0 on a roll call vote.

I: INFORMATION / ANNOUNCEMENTS:
May announced that the Environment Commission is recruiting gardens for the Lawn
and Garden Tour on July 18th from 9:00 A.M. to noon/ with a Ramsey County garden
educator in attendance. She also noted upcoming Peace Garden events: a candlelight
vigil on July 6th at 8:30 P.M. and a Unity Day gathering at City Hall on July 7th from
5:30 to 8:00 P.M., marking the 10m armiversary of the death of Philando Castile.
Wassenberg thanked Mielke for orgrtizing the Falcon Heights Neighbor's Day at the
Goldstein Museum of Design on the Saint Paul campus, describing it as a "hidden gem"
experience. He also reported that the Northeast Youth and Family Services Board held
its end-of-fisca1-year meeting and that he was elected Secretary to the executive board,
continuing to represent Falcon Heights.
Mogen reported attending a CAC review of the Highland Bridge project in Saint Paul,
noting that elements of that master-planned development could inform fufure work
with Rachel Development on the Les Bolstad Golf Course project. He noted the planning
commission would meet the following evening to discuss the commercial parking lot
permit program and zoning, and that several council members would be attending the
League of Minnesota Cities annual convention in Rochester.
Mielke expressed gratitude to Jim Wassenberg, Rice' Davis, Bruce Mielke, and city staff
for their work on the Goldstein Museum event, and noted the Elusive Objects exhibit
runs through July 2"a.
Mayor Gustafson noted that the Parks and Recreation Commission would meetJuly 9a'
rather than its regular date to allow members to attend Restoration Day. He reported
continuing follow-up on park audits, also attended the Highland Bridge tour, and
would be attending the League of Minnesota Cities convention.
Linehan reported that the City officially closed on the Get Pressed property the prior
Wednesday, with public works immediately beginning mowing. Grant applications for
the Brownfield site are in progress, and a meeting has been scheduled with Kansas State
University's Brownfield technical assistance group, which parhrers with the Met Council
and MPCA to provide pro bono assistance to municipalities. He also noted that recent
storms led to an increase in solicitor permit requests and reminded residents that any
commercial door-to-door solicitor must hold a city-issued solicitor's license; a list of
licensed solicitors is available on the City website.
J: COMMUNITY FORUM:

Submitted By Jack Linehan, City Administrator
Item Authorization of the Purchase of Park Furnishings from Barco Products Related to the
Community Park Renovation
Description As the Renovation of Community Park begins to wrap up, the City will need to
furnish the new picnic shelter andplaza area, as these fees were removed from the
original contract requiring any agency to provide them as a means for the City to
purchase the furnishings directly through a Sourcewell contract and benefit from cost-
saving measures of 5% of more.
Staff has selected the following items to meet or exceed ADA guidelines, match the
finishes of existing furnifure, and with consideration given to the usage of an item and
its total cost.
(6) 8' long ADA picnic tables with recycled plastic tabletops and galvanized steel
frames, which are guaranteed for 50 years against breakage (recycled boards). Tables
seat 6 adults and two wheelchair guests.
(6) 8" long picnic tables.
(2) bike racks, each providing parking for five bicycles. The design of these racks takes
into consideration parking bike trailers and strollers as well, while maintaining a clear
walkway.
(2) 6'concrete benches and (1) 8' concrete bench to be installed in the plaza area
surrounding the splash pad. This design allows for flexible usage, allowing users the
choice to sit facing multiple directions, and the material allows for wet towels to be
draped over them without damaging the finish. Furthermore, this particular design
will not require Public Works to weed-whack underneath them. Park benches added
to the playground area will be more traditional, having backs on them, and will be
ordered separately as part of grant funding.
(3) Garbage and recycling receptacles.
(1) Pet waste bag dispenser
(6) Polymer chairs (impervious to water) for the splash pad / plaza area
Staff seeks Council approval to order these furnishings as part of the Community Park
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota

renovation project under a Sourcewell contract. The exact shipping fees have not yet
been determined, so Council is asked to approve an amount not to exceed $35,000.
Budget

These funds will continue to come from the capital project line item. The Community

Description In202'1,, the City approved and signed an Encroachment, Use, and Maintenance
Agreement with Buhl, GTA GR LLC (Amber Union) authorizing the
encroachment on City property along Snelling for parking improvements for the
Amber Union redevelopment and assigning all maintenance, repair, and
replacement to Amber Union. Should the City ever choose to terminate this
agreement, twelve (12) months advance written notice must be provided to
Amber Union and they must prompt$ remove the parking improvements within
that section of City property and return the property to the current condition as
of the date of the agreement.
This estoppel certificate is being requested for the Fairway Commons
development. The certificate is essentially verifying the current terms, conditions,
and status of the Encroachmen! Use, and Maintenance Agreement with Buhl,
GTA GP, LLC (Amber Union), and that termination notices are sent to the
appropriate ownership parties of Fairway Commons. US Bank is the investing
partner for the Fairway Commons project and is asking for this certificate to be
executed by the City.
Due to time constraints with Fairway Commons closing on the property and that
this is verifying current terms that have not been changed, the City Administrator
has administratively signed the Estoppel Certificate for Fairway Commons to
move forward with. The City Attorney agreed that this could be administratively
done, however a resolution supporting this has been included.
Budget Impact None.

Attachment Resolution, Encroachment Agreement
Submitted By Erik Henricksen, City Engineer
Item Approve Resolution 26-65 Approving an Encroachment Agreement at'1,670
Larpenteur Avenue (Fairway Commons)
Description The City Council is requested to consider approval of an Encroachment
Agreement at1670 Larpenteur Avenue as part of the Fairway Commons Planned
Unit Development Amendment (the "Development").
On April8,2026, the City Council approved the Development, which requires
relocation of the existing public storm sewer infrastructure and dedication of a
replacement Public Drainage and Utility Easement. The relocated storm sewer
and associated easement are necessary to accommodate construction of the
approved deyelopment while preserving the City's ability to access, operate, and
maintain public infrastructure.
As part of the site design, certain private improvements, including bituminous
pavement, concrete curb and gutter, fip rap, and a bioinfiltration basin, are
proposed within portions of the Public Drainage and Utility Easement. Because
these improvements will occupy areas subject to the City's easement rights, an
Encroachment Agreement is required.
The proposed Encroachment Agreement authorizes the identified improvements
to remain within the easement area while preserving the City's rights to access,
inspect, maintairu repair, reconstruct, and replace public infrastrucfure. The
agreement further provides that the property owner shall be responsible for
maintaining the encroaching improvements and assumes all risk associated with
damages resulting from the City's exercise of its easement rights. Should the City
require access to the easement area for future maintenance or repair activities,
any damaged or removed improvements must be repaired or replaced by the
property owner at its sole expense.
The agreement will be recorded against the property and run with the land,
ensuring that future owners are subject to its terms and conditions. Staff finds
that the proposed encroachment will not interfere with the City's use of the
easement and that the agreement adequately protects the City's interests while
allowing implementation of the approved Development.

Item Approvalof Ordinance26-07 Amending Chapter l4 of the Falcon Heights City Code
Concerning Commercial Parking Lot Licenses
Description In the 2023 State Fair Task Force Report and the 2024-2025 State Fair Task Force
Report, it was noted that the regulation of commercial parking lots should be a future
goal. It was reviewed again at the February 2025 workshop and supported to move
forward, but it was put on hold to focus on the consideration of pay-by-mobile parking
and the staff time that would require.
As a reminder, the city does not allow parking in residential districts but does allow
paid State Fair parking in commercial lots. The city does not regulate further beyond
that, other than working with operators when complaints arise to ensure they are
operating safely.
A concern over special event commercial lots is that some that operate lots that are not
in commercial areas, and some businesses no longer have sufficient parking to operate,
and parking lot operations often spill into roadways, causing safety concerns. A
licensing system would also give staff a point of contact in the event of an issue, as
often the operator of a commercial lot is not the same individual as the owner.
The City Attorney and staff worked on additional modifications to the draft ordinance
to improve enforceability. The proposed fees for the license would be low to cover the
staff time required to issue the license.
If supported by Council to consider moving forward with commercial lot licensing in
2026, staff would reach out to the businesses in Falcon Heights that are known to sell
parking during the State Fair to communicate the potential change. We've had
discussions with most, and they generally see the benefit of having some regulations
around parking lot licensing.
Plannine Commission Public Hearine
The Planning Commission met and held a public hearing on June 23,2026 regarding
the adjacent ordinance amending Chapter I l3 (the Zoning code). The Public Hearing
was held and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval the drafted ordinance to update Chapter 113, after removal of the
requirement of these only being allowed during the two weeks of the Minnesota
State Fair. [t was recommended that be added to the Chapter l4 ordinance, if Council
wishes.

Item 2026 CIty Fee Schedule Ordinance
Description In2022, the City moved from a fee schedule resolution to a fee schedule ordinance at
the advice of the City Attorney. The City Council reviews the fee schedule annually
for any adjustments and last amended the fee schedule during the December 22,2025
City Council meeting to establish 2026 fees for sanitary sewer/ storm drainage,
recycling, credit card convenience fees, and Community Garden plots.
Included in this proposed fee schedule are clarifying the current convenience fees
associated with credit/debit card transactions, establishing a license fee of $35 for
Commercial Parking Lots to cover the staff time needed to administer the program/
and changes to parking fine fees, including the addition of escalations for non-
payments of administrative parking citations:
Parking fines were previously stated as $S0/violation between the dates of
September 16t! and August 14th and doubled to $100 between August 15th and
September 15th. Now, the parking citation shall begin at $60 between the dates
of August 15th and September 15th, but the price will continue to increase as
payment is delayed.

If the citation is not paid after 60 days of issuance, then

*All parking fines will also incur a 3.5% convenience fee from T2 systems, separate
from any credit card transaction fees.
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
113
The proposed fee schedule reflects the discussion from the June 22"a workshop, where council
directed a lower initial fee that escalates to reflect the costs the city would incur to run license
plate lookups and send appropriate letters.
The proposed fee schedule also better clarifies the minimum convenience fees for
credit card/ deblt card transactions since the City utilizes two payment processing
companies. Currently, the City utilizes Payroc, which is integrated within iWorQ, the
Ctty" permitting software. For any building, mechanical, plumbing, ROW, and
dumpster/mobile storage unit permit fees created and paid within iWorQ, Payroc's
credit/debit card transaction fees are 3.50%, with a minimum fee of $2.00 per
transaction, so the City mirrors that fee.
The second payment processing system, AllPaid, is used for processing fees such as
community garden plots, recreation fees, business licenses, parking passes, and any
other payments that are completed outside of iWorQ. AllPaid's credit/debit card
transaction fees are 2.95%, with a minimum fee of $3.99 per transaction, so the City
mirrors that fee.
Unforfunately, Payroc is not able to create various "buckets" for payments to be made
and applied to categories outside of iWorQ, so the City cannot utilize it for the
processing payments associated with recreation programs, for example. Thus, the
reason for having two separate convenience fees and the need to better define them in
the Fee Schedule.
