C. NEW BUSINESS
1,. Les Bolstad Golf Course Redevelopment - Introduction from Rachel
Development & Preliminary Overview of RFP Submission Concept Plans
City Administrator lack Linehan prouided introductory remarks, including a project
background and timeline, and outlined the format and expectations for the eaening's
meeting.
Administrator Linehnn summaized the key milestones leading to the meeting: the City's
adoption of the Snelling and Larenteur Corridor Study in Noaember 2024; the
Uniaersity of Minnesota's annor.tncement in lune 2025 of its intent to dispose of the Les
Bolstad Golf Course; city-hosted open house in September 2025 to gather community
feedback; the Uniaersity's release of its RFP in October 2025, with purchnse price as tht
primary weighted criterion; RFP responses due in December 2025; the Gty Council's
assembly of the CAC in April2026; and the Uniaersity's nnnouncement in lune 2026
thnt Rachel Deuelopment hnd zuon the RFP.
Administrator Linehnn explained thnt no questions or comments wouldbe taken from
council members, CAC members, or the public duing the presentation, as this zuas the
first opportunity for most attendees to aiezu the RFP submission plans. He noted thst the
presentation, a uideo recording of the meeting, nnd addihonal information would be
published to the city's uebsite on Thursday morning, along zoith an email notification to
newsletter sr.tbscribers. Administrator Linehan also clarified thnt this presentation did
not constitute an fficial submission to the city and thnt the plans would be subject to
modification through the ongoing collaborntiae process.
Paul Robinson, Deaelopment Director for Rachel Deoelopment, introducedhimself and
his colleagtLes. He described his background, zohich included nine years zoorking for
municipalities -including six years as Gty Administrator of Edina-before
transitioning to the priaate deuelopment sector wer the past 24 years. He highlighted the
Woodland Coae deuelopment in Minnetista as n compnrnble project inaolaing mixed
product types, commercial uses, and complex mulh-agency coordination.
Daaid Stradtman, Vice President of Deaelopment for Rachel Deaelopment, proaided
background on Rachel Deuelopment and its related company, Rachel Contracting, a St.
Michael-based specialty contractor zuith expertise in earthwork, utilities, demolition, and
enuironmental remediation of golf course properties. Mr . Stradtman noted his 30 years of
experience in dnelopment, including work in retail and land acquisition.
PauI Heuer, representing Pulte Homes, described his background as a former consulting
city engineer and his 24 years of expeience creating residential neighborhoods across the
Twin Cities, including seaeral redeuelopment projects and a pior golf course
redeaelopment.
15
Stephanie Grffin, Vice President of Land Acquisihon for MI Homes, described her
background as a third-generation female deueloper in the Twin Cities market. She noted
thnt MI Homes, s national homebuilder based in Columbus, Ohio, had deep local roots
throughits predecessor company, Hans Hagen Homes. She highlighted thnt Pulte, MI
Homes, and Rachel Deuelopment had preaiously collaborated on projects, including
Woodland Coae and a deuelopmentinWaconia.
Mr. Robinson presented an oaeruiezo of the approximately 140-acre site, coueing
topography, drainage, stormwater manngement, wetlands, andutility infrastructure. He
described an eleaation change of approximately 70 feet across the site, with drainage split
betueen the Rice Creek Watershed District to the north and the Capitol Regton
WatershedDistict to the south. He noted that modern deaelopment standards zuould
require dedicnting approximately 7-10 percent of the gross land area to stormzoater
trentment, and that existing open uater ruetlsnds would likely be incorporated into the
s t ormu ate r management sy s t em.
Regarding uetlands, Mr. Robinson indicated that preliminary nnalysis identified
approximately 3 acres of uetlands across 10-11 locations, zoith an estimated three-
quarters of an acre potentially stfuject to impact and requiring zoetland credit
replacement through established mitigation progrnms. He noted that formal zuetland
delineation had not yet been completed.
On uhlihes, Mr. Robinson identified potential sanitary seLler connection points on
Roselawn to the northeast and along Larpenteur to tht south, and noted possible
connections in the neighboring cities of Lauderdale and Roseuille pending capacity \
analysis. He stated that the primary zoater source zoas anticipated to be the trunk water
main along Larpenteur, per correspondence from St. Paul RegionalWater Sentices, uith
pressure and capacity stud:ies to follow.
Mr. Robinson also reaiezued the surrounding neighborhood context, noting a general
pattern of more suburban character to the north transitioning to greater density
approaching Larpenteur to the south, which informed the ouerall organization of the
proposed site plan.
Mr. Robinson explained thnt the site plan was prepared in response to the Uniaerstty of
Minnesota's RFP and zoas intended to establishaalue and demonstrate an implementable
concept rather thnn represent a finalized plan. He emphasized that the plan closely
follozoed the A$'s uisioning committee goals and guiding principles, as well as the
extrapolated land use plan that had grozun out of the 2024 corridor study.
He presented the plan in the context of tlrc six uisioning committee goals:
Connectiuity: The plan proposes connecting to four or fioe streets in both Lauderdale and
Roseaille, all releuant connections wilhin Falcon Heights, and a trails and sidewalk
network linking sub-neighborhoods to adjacent parks, Gibbs Farm, the BeII Museum, and
othtr amenities. Only one cul-de-sac is included in the entire deaelopment. Mr. Robinson
16
described a more grid-Iike street pattern along site edges adjacent to existing
neighborhoods, transitioning to a more curcilinear interior pattern zohere natural
features such as wetlands and greenways require it.
Green Space: The plan dedicates approximately 17.2 upland acres (about 12 percent of
the site) and roughly 30 total acres (approximately 20 percent) to open space, uhich Mr.
Robinson indicated would exceed the open space proportion of the Hillcrest deoelopment.
A public trail system would run through all open space areas. A notable feature is a
southern greenzuay corridor approximately 1.00 feet wide running east-zoest along the
south property line, prouiding a trail connection betueen parks and preseraing mature
trees. Mr. Robinson also descibed a " greenway parkzoay" expeience along Coftnan,
zoith a seies of open space aiezos and bffirs encountered when traaeling through the
site. He acknowledged that while tree presen:ation would be limited gioen the
distribution of trees across the golf course, hundreds ofneu trees wouldbe planted
thr oughout tht deaelopment.
Self-Sustaining: Mr. Robinson expressed confdence that the deuelopment's assessed
aalues - anticipated to meet or exceed the current Fnlcon Heights aaerage home aalue
range of approximately $385,000-$420,000 -would generate sufficient property tax
reaenue to sustain city sercices uithout placing additional burden on existing
infrastructure. All ptLblic infrastructure within the dnelopment would be constructed at
the deueloper's expense using modern, durable materials.
Housing Mix: The plan incorporates ten distinct product types, including rear-load alley
single-family homes, S}-foot-zoide uilla-style single-family homes for empty nesters with
HOAmaintenance, tuto-story carriage townhomes, three-story urban tozunhomes,
mqrket-rate apartments, a combined independent and assisted liaing/memory care senior
facility, and a commercial component. All single-family lots are proposed to be smaller
thnn 10,000 square feet. Higher density uses are concentrated along Larpenteur,
consistent zoith tln uisioning goals. The plan contemplates a range of approximately
1-,400 to L,800 total units depending on density scenario, equating to approximately 1"3-
16 units per ncre across the site. Ms. Grffin presented MI Homes' product offeings, and
Mr. Heuer presented Pulte Homes' ffirings, eacLt emphasizing the complementary
nah.re of their respectiae home types and the diaersity of buyers eacLtproduct would
attract.
Mr. Stradtman described Rachel Deaelopment's multifamily component, noting planned
market-rate apartments along Larpenteur and a senior liaing complex combining
memory care, assisted liaing, and independent liaing in a campus format. He also
described a commercial area of approximately 4.75 acres along Larpenteur that could
support seruice retail, standalone commercial, or mixed-use deaelopment zoith residential
aboue, depending on market conditions and further discussions uith the city and Met
CotLncil r egar ding density r e quir ements.
Sustainability: Mr. Robinson referenced the significant improaement inhome energy
fficiency standards since 2006, noting that aaerage HERS ratings hnd improuedfrom
't7
approximately L00 to the mid-4}s. He noted thnt Pulte and MI Homes ffir solar-rendy
options and electic aehicle chnrger options for single-family products. For multifamily
buildings, the deuelopment would meet the Enterpise Green Communihes and
ASHRAE 700 standards. Heat island mitigation through landscaped parking lot islands
zoas also identified as part of the sustainability approach.
Commercial: The commercial srea is proposed along Larpenteur, connected to the
neighborhood by sidezualk and trail. Mr, Stradtman and Mr. Robinson both
acknowledged that commercial uiability zoould need to be assessed through market
analysis and that the city and deaeloper shnred an interest in ensuring any commercial
uses zoould be successfully occupied.
Mr. Robinson noted that the deaelopment team and city staff had not yet fully
synchronized their respectiae timelines and process framezoorks, but expressed
commitment to working collaboratiaely to align the CAC's community engagement
process ruith the deaeloper's project aduancement schedule.
Regarding next steps, Mr. Robinson outlined the team's immed:iate piorities, including
outreach to stakeholder agencies stLch as the two zoatershed districts, Ramsey County,
Met Council, St. Paul RegionalWater Seraices, and neighboing cities; sanitary sewer
and water capacity analyses; trffic analysis; geotechnical inaestigations; zuetland
delineation; and initial enaironmental contaminant testing appropriate for an older golf
course property.
2. Community Engagement Recap / Next Steps
Administrator Linehan recapped the 6:30 PM CAC meehng thathad taken plnce prior to
the joint session, descibing it as a produchue 4\-minute discussion focused on public
participation strategies andhoto the community could proaide meaningful ingtt into the
redeaelopment process. He noted thnt rohile specific engagement opportunihes had not
been fully formalized, the CAC had identified initial approaches for broader public
inaolaement. He confitmed that the presentahon materials and a aideo recording of the
eaening's meeting uor.tld be posted to the city's project zoebpage at falconheightsmn.gou
by Thursday morning, and that newsletter subscribers would receiae an email
notification roith relea ant links.
Administrntor Linehnn reiterated that the CAC's next regular meeting zoas scheduled for
August 1,9, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Falcon Heights Gty HaIl. At thnt meeting, CAC
members zuottld be asked to bring forzoard ideas for community engagement, including
methods they had seen work ffictiuely in their respectiae communities. He also ffirmed
thnt Rachel Deuelopment would continue to be part of the process, zoith future
opportunities for the City Council, CAC, and public to ask questions and prouide
feedback on the euolaingplans.
D. ADJOURN - Cizalr Anderson expressed appreciation to Rachel Deuelopment for the
presentation nnd noted that the CAC looked forward to further engagement. Mayor Gustafson
echoed those remarks on behalf of the City Council, stating that the proposal appeared to explain
why the Uniuersity of Minnesotahad selected Rachel Deaelopment, and thnt the City looked
't8
forward to tnorking with tht team in the coming months and years. Mayor Gustafson made a
motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting was adjournedby consent at 8:32 PM.

POLICY ITEMS:
1,. 2027 Brdget Workshop #1 (6:00 P.M.)
a. 2026 2"! Quarter Financial Report and Year-End Estimates
Landberg presented the2026 Second Quarter Financial Report covering the period
through June 30, 2026.9he reported that overall revenues and expenditures across all
fund types are on track and broadly comparable to 2025 percentages-to-budget at the
same point in the year. She noted that revenue figures do not uniformly reach 50% at
mid-year due to the timing of property tax settlements and other cyclical receipts.
General Fund: Revenues and expenditures are on track. General fund expendifures
stood at approximately 40% of budget.
Council Member Wassenberg asked whether the city produces monthly budget
expectations broken down by timing.
Landberg confirmed that no formal monthly revenue schedule is prepared, though she
monitors individual line items such as charges for services on an ongoing basis.
Special Revenue Funds: Performance is similar to2025 percentages. Two notable
variances were identified: the Community/Economic Development and Community
Inclusion funds each showed expenditures near 97% and96% of budget respectively,
attributable solely to allocated audit fees rather than any programmatic spending.
Council Member Wassenberg inquired about the Community Inclusion fund's activities
Linehan explained that the fund has accumulated a healthy balance through annual
general fund transfers of $10,000, butno specific inclusion initiatives were programmed
for 2026.
21
Debt Service Funds: All principal and interest payments are current. The 2023 G.O.
Improvement Bond, which was retired early in 2025 using surplus assessment revenues
from earlier road project funds, carries only audit fees as remaining expenditures.
Council Member May sought clarification on the debt service percentages presented.
Landberg explained that the 455% expenditure figure shown for the 2023 bond n 2025
reflected the early payoff.
Linehan outlined the city's bond history, noting that each bond is tied to a specific road
projec! with the exception of the 2025Tax Abatement Bond, which funded the
community park.
Capital Proiect Funds: These funds are difficult to compare year-over-year given the
variable timing of project expenditures. Revenue overages in several capital funds are
primarily driven by investment interest income. Linehan noted that the Fairway
Commons and UMN Les Bolstad funds were recenfly created and the 2021 Street Project
fund is being wound down and will be closed.
Enterprise Funds: Minor timing variances exist in both sanitary sewer and storm
drainage funds, largely due to a two-month lag in utility revenue receipts and the
Metropolitan Council's advance billing for wastewater services.
Year-End Proiections: Landberg summarized that across all fund types, revenues are
projected to finish over budget, and expenditures under budget.
Linehan highlighted two primary revenue outperformers: investment interest on
investrnents, projected at approximately $150,000-$180,000 against a $30,000 budget
and building permit revenue, projected at approximately $170,000 against a $60,000
budge! largely driven by the Fairway Commons development. On the expenditure side,
the NYFS social work program line will come in approximately $20,000 under budget as
the program was not launched, and the finance consultant line will be approximately
$50,000 under budge! as the city settled on outsoutced payroll at approximately $26,000
rather than drawing on the full $75,000 budgeted. Linehan also noted that the contracted
planner line will exceed budget, partially offsetting those savings. He flagged the
previously approved $325,000 budget amendment for the transfer to Parks Capital to
purchase 1.407 Larpenteur Avenue (the "Get Pressed" property) as the primary anomaly
in the 2026 general fund picture.
b. 2027 General Fund Preview
Linehan presented a preliminary overview of the proposed 2027 General Fund Budget
and outlined the budget process timeline. Key upcoming milestones include: a capital
and PMP discussion at the next workshop featuring City Engineer Hendrickson's five-
year infrastructure plan; a levy discussion workshop on approximately September 9;
preliminary levy approval at the September 23 Clty Council meeting; and the Truth in
Taxation hearing on December 9.

Proposed Budget Changes - Revenues: The general fund is proposed to increase by
8.75%. The primary revenue drivers include a1,4% increase in ad valorem tax receipts
($311,000), an8% increase in fiscal disparities distributioru a modest increase in licenses
and permits, and a doubling of the fines and forfeits budget from $15,000 to $30,000 in
anticipation of continued growth in State Fair parking violation revenue.
Linehan noted that the 2026budget included a $49,000 transfer from the ParkMobile
Parking Management fund to the general fund, which is not currently reflected in the
2027 proposal. He indicated this figure could be revisited at the September workshop
once State Fair parking revenues are better known, and that including it could reduce
the levy by approximately 1.5 to 2 percentage points.
Proposed Budget Changes - Expenditures: Total expenditures are proposed to
increase by approximately 7.96%. The principal expenditure drivers are:
Compensation: A total increase of approximately $L03,000, athibutable to grade and
step increases, a proposed3% cost-of-living adjustment (consistent with the current
metro-area range of 3-4%), additional employees enrolling in the city's health insurance
plan, and a more accurate accounting of overtime.
Linehan noted that the city has historically budgeted $0 for overtime, which has proved
inaccurate as staff tenure increases and comp-time balances grow. Staff additions for
2027 rnclude expanding the administrative intern to a full-year position, adding a $5,000
finance intern line, and restoring a Public Works seasonal part-time position.
Public Safety: An increase of $193,176, reflecting St. Anthony Village Police reaching
their contracted full complement of 30 officers n2027.
Linehan explained that once full staffing is achieved, annual increases are expected to
moderate to approximatgly 5% or less, consistent with Lauderdale's historical experience
under the same contract.
Financial Software: An upgrade from the current desktop-based Tyler Encode system to
a cloud-based version at an estimated cost of approximately $19,000, driven in part by
the forthcoming end-of-support for the existing server infrastructure.
Landberg noted that the cloud-based system would allow remote access for consultants,
enable workflow-based budget processes, and facilitate a planned addition of a fixed
asset module (estimated at $600/year) to eliminate manual depreciation journal entries.
Conferences and Professional Development: A modest budget increase to better reflect
actual recent expendifure trends.
Levy and Tax Rate: The preliminary levy is proposed to increase from $2,882,408 to
$3,234,420, a12.2'1.% increase of $352,012. Debt service levy remains stable at approximately
$190,000 annually, with no major bonding anticipated in the next five years. The projected
city tax rate would rise from approximately 37% n2026 to approximately 41,.91.% in2027.
Council Member May asked for clarification on the tax rate figure
23
Landberg explained that the local tax rate is calculated by dividing the net local levy
amount - after subtracting the fiscal disparities distribution - by the net local tax capacity
provided by Ramsey County, over which the city has no control.
Linehan provided context by noting that Falcon Heights had one of the lowest levy
increases in Ramsey County in recent years (3.88% tn 2025), and that the current increase
reflects genuine cost pressures that had been partially deferred. For comparison, Saint
Anthony's tax rate is approximately 65% and Saint Paul's exceeds 50%.
Council Discussion - Levy Reduction Strategies: Linehan presented several levers
available to reduce the preliminary levy, including: budgeting a ParkMobile transfer as a
recurring revenue item; increasing the interest on investrnents estimate from $50,000 toward
the $100,000-$150,000 range that has been consistently achieved; adjusting the Parks Capital
transfer; or making modest use of the city's fund balance. He noted the city's fund balance
policy requires a minimum of 45% of operating revenues to be held in reserve and that the
city currently holds a healthy triple-A-rated balance well above that floor.
Council Member Wassenberg advocated for working to reduce the levy increase, suggesting
the council consider what an appropriate reserve level is and use surplus beyond that
threshold to offset taxes rather than allowing reserves to grow indefinitely. He also
suggested consideration of "leveling" increases across years - e.g./ an 8% increase this year
and a 6% increase next year - rather than a steep increase followed by a minimal one, to
smooth the impact on taxpayers.
Council Member May expressed general agreement noting a preference for calculated
rather than speculative risk when budgeting aggressive revenue estimates. She raised
concerns about the apparent decline in intergovernmental revenue, which Linehan clarified
was primarily a timing artifact related to LGA advances and the non-recurrence of one-time
grants rather than a structural loss. May also asked about the risk of a state LGA reduction
given the current political environmen! Landberg and Linehan acknowledged the
uncertainty but noted that2027 LGA is projected to increase slightly and that maintaining
LGA levels remains a League of Minnesota Cities legislative priority.
Mayor Gustafson emphasized the importance of fiscal transparency, stating that if the city
has legitimate expenses, it should raise the revenue to meet them rather than obscuring
costs. He recalled that prior to 2017, the city had been artificially suppressing taxes by
drawing down reserves to a dangerous level, and that correcting this required significant
levy increases that residents ultimately accepted because the rationale was clearly
communicated. There was general consensus among the Council to direct staff to explore
strategies to reduce the levy below L0% where feasible without operational impact.
Linehan committed to returning at the September 9 workshop with multiple levy scenarios
- showing trade-offs for each approach - and with updated ParkMobile revenue figures
following the State Fair.

Approved 4-0
PRESENTATION
1. Metropolitan Council Member Peter Lindstrom, District L0
Lindstrom, who also serves as District 10 representative on the Metropolitan Council
and works at the University of Minnesota with the Clean Energy Resource Teams,
provided a broad update on Met Council activities. He was accompanied by Abi
Phillips, the newly promoted Met Council sector representative working closely with
city staff.
Wastewater. Lindstrom noted that2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi
River being declared biologically dead, with a1926 survey finding only three fish
between Saint Paul and Red Wing. He highlighted the Met Council's role in treating
approximately 650 million gallons of wastewater daily across nine plants, with 600 miles
of interceptor sewers. Falcon Heights contributes approximately 213 million gallons per
year, for which the city is billed roughly $61,000 per month ($741,,000 annually) at the
wholesale rate. He noted the Met Council's wastewater rates are approximately 35
percent below the national average. Significant ongoing challenges include aging
infrastrucfure, reduced groundwater recharge, increased water demand from data
centers, and persistent contaminants such as PFAS, nitrogery phosphorus, and chlorides.

Transit. Lindstrom highlighted upcoming H Line Bus Rapid Transit service along Como
Avenue, with stops planned at Como and Snelling and Como and Hamline, with
construction beginning n2028 and service commencingin2D29. He also noted that
Route 51 along Larpenteur now runs every 30 minutes with new Saturday and Sunday
service added. For the State Fair, Met Council will operate six express routes, and
suburban transit providers will offer eight additional routes. Last year, approximately
390,000 rides were provided on Met Council express routes alone.
Council Member May asked about coordination between BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)
planning and existing bicycle infrastrucfure along Como Avenue. Lindstrom confirmed
the H Line would not negatively impact existing bike infrastructure.
Council Member Wassenberg asked about the H Line's full route
Lindstrom confirmed itwould run from downtown Minneapolis to Sun Ray Shopping
Center in Maplewood, intersecting with the existing A Line and the planned G Line on
Rice Street.
htlpLCouncil Member Wotea that a stop on Route 61 at Arona had previously been
proposed for removal, and credited Lindstrom with advocating to retain it given its
proximity to senior housing.
Community Development and Grants. Lindstrom announced that the full Metropolitan
Council had voted, approximately 90 minutes before the meeting, to approve two grants
for Falcon Heights: a $100,000 small area planning grant for Les Bolstad master
planning, and a $63L,000 grant for Fairway Commons for environmental cleanup and
construction. He noted the city had also received a $40,000 planning grant to help with
comprehensive plan consultant costs.
Lindstrom encouraged the Council to look at community tree grants, recently opened to
cities for ash tree removal and replacement on public boulevards and in parks.
Phillips confirmed these grants opened on Tuesday
Linehan noted that the city also has an active transportation grant application still under
review at the Met Council, seeking approximately $50,000 for a citywide bike plan.
Lindstrom encouraged Council members to consider applying to serve on Met Council
advisory committees, including the Transportation Advisory Board, which makes
recommendations on allocating approximately $225 million in federal transportation
funds every other year.
Council Member May asked whether pedestrian and bicycle projects are eligible for that
regional solicitation funding.
Lindstrom confirmed they are, and also noted that a portion of a regional sales tax
dedicated to transit is available for active transportation through a parallel grant
process.

H POLICY ITEMS:
1. Approval of Ordinance 26-09 Amending Chapter 46 of City Code Concerning Noise
Issues from Traffic and Vehicles
Linehan summarized the background, explaining that a recent incident involving a car
alarm sounding for multiple days in a residential neighborhood exposed a gap in city
code. The existing 48-hour parking rule was the only applicable mechanism at the time.
Staff reviewed practices in other cities and drafted language adding a vehicle alarm
violation to Chapter 46. Following Council direction at the July workshop, the proposed
time limit was set at two hours-reduced from the originally proposed four hours-after
which the vehicle may be declared a public nuisance and the city may authorize law
enforcement or a contractor to remove and impound it.
Council Member Wassenberg characterized the ordinance as a straighfforward and
sensible patch to city code.
Council Member Mielke moved approval of
Ordinance 2609 and Summary Ordinance 26-09
Amending Chapter 46 of the Falcon Heights City
Code Conceming Noise Issues from Traffic and
Vehicles; The motion carried 4-0.
29
2. Approval of Ordinanc e 26-10 Amending Chapter 22 of Cily Code Concerning
Unnecessary Noise
Linehan explained that the city has lacked a comprehensive noise ordinance, historically
relying on MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) guidance and code provisions
scattered across several sections covering refuse haulers, barking dogs, and home
occupations. The new ordinance formally establishes prohibited noise categories and
hourly restrictions. For most activities, permitted hours are7:OO AM to 9:00 PM on
weekdays and 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekends and holidays. Refuse hauling hours
mirror existing licensing language, extending to 10:00 PM on weekdays. Radios, music
devices, and similar equipment are permitted until 10:00 PM.
The proposed ordinance also contained a Section (c) on noise impact statements, which
would allow the Council to require noise impact studies for certain zoning changes or
permit applications. Linehan recommended striking this section, noting that the city
currently lacks the zoning mechanism to implement or enforce it, and that Council
Member Mogen had also expressed a preference to refer it to the Planning Commission
for further development before inclusion. Linehan suggested the Council could strike
Section (c), approve the ordinance as amended, and have the Planning Commission
bring back a more fully developed provision at a later date.
Council Member Wassenberg agreed, noting the section would be effectively
inoperative until the Planning Commission completed the necessary supporting
framework, and that it may need to read differently once that work is done.
Council Member Mielke moved approval of
Ordinance 2G10 andSummary Ordinance 26-10
Amending Chapter 22 of lhe Falcon Heights City
Code Concerning Unnecessary Noise, as Amended
to Strike Section (c); The motion carried 4-0.
3. Approval of Ordinance26-11, Amending the2026 Fee Schedule Ordinance to Modify
Parking Fines and to Establish a Commercial Parking Lot License Fee
Linehan summarized the three main components of the ordinance: (1) establishing a $35
commercial parking lot license fee; (2) formally codifying the administrative citation
escalation schedule ($35.00 if paid within'J,4 days; $85.00 if paid within 15-59 days;
turned over to collections after 60 days with a30% increase for collection costs); and (3)
clarifying the city's two credit card processing systems-Payroc (3.50%, minimum $2.00,
for permits within iWorQ) and AllPaid (2.95%, minimum $3.99, for all other
transactions).
Council Member May raised a drafting concem with the fee schedule language, noting
the phrase "current amount" in the collections tier was unclear and should be replaced
with "$85.00" for transparency. Council Member Wassenberg agreed.
The Council also identified that the word "keys" on page 64 of the packet had been
inadvertently struck through and should be restored, as staff had decided to defer a
broader update to the rental fee section.
30
Council Member May moved to amend the fee schedule to replace "current amount"
with "$85.00*" (retaining the T2 convenience fee asterisk) in the administrative citation
collections row, and to restore the inadvertently struck word "keys" on page 64. The
amendment carried 4-0.
Mayor Gustafson moved approval of Ordinance 26-
11 and Summary Ordinance 26-1'1,, Amending the
2026Fee Schedule, as Amended; The motion
carried 4-0.
4. Approval of Resolution26-TL Authorizing the Request for General Fund Budget
Amendment - Administrative Expenditures (112) - 60520 Part-Time Employees
Linehan explained that the city budgeted $5,000 for an administrative intern in
2026.Due to a vacancy in the Administrative and Communications Coordinator
position, the intern's tenure was extended, resulting in approximately $11,000 in
year-to-date expenditures, offset by savings from the vacancy. With a current
and upcoming planned staff leave, the city needs continued coverage. Linehan
requested authorization to increase the part-time line to $20,000, allowing the city
to hire a fall semester intern (September-December). He noted that staffing
agency alternatives cost $50-60 per hour with no ability to select personnel,
whereas the intern program consistently attracts strong candidates.
Council Member Wassenberg expressed support, noting the program is
economical and provides valuable career development opportunities for students
interested in municipal government.
Council Member Wassenberg moved approval of
Resolution 26-7L, Authorizing the General Fund
Budget Amendment for Administrative
Expenditures (112); The motion carried 4-0.
5. Hollywood Court Petition
Linehan summarized a petition received the previous day from most residents of
Hollywood Cour! requesting two things: (1) Council approval of a resident placard they
had designed for display in vehicle dashboards, and (2) that the city communicate the
placard's existence and purpose to Minnesota State Fair security personnel.
Linehan explained that Hollywood Court residents and Amber Union residents both
face access challenges during the State Fair because the Larpenteur entrance is now
closed due to Fairway Commons constructiory leaving the Snelling and Hoyt entrance-
staffed by rotating State Fair security officers - as their sole access point. The existing
resident window stickers have proven difficult to present convincingly. Linehan
proposed extending the placard approach to Amber Union residents as well, printing
approximately 250 for distribution through the building's management, and presenting
the information at the city's next scheduled meeting with State Fair police. Linehan also
noted that there is value in the city formally endorsing the placard rather than having
residents create unofficial signage.
31
Council members acknowledged the limited scope of the solution-the placard would
assist residents in getting past security barricades but would not serve as a parking
pass-and expressed sympathy for the affected residents.
Council Member May noted it at least alleviates part of a significant inconvenience
Council Member Mielke moved to Authorize the
Creation and Distribution of Placards for Amber
Union and Hollywood Court Residents to Display
in Their Vehicles and to Direct Staff to
Communicate the Details to State Fair Policing; The
motion carried 4-0.
I: INFORMATION / ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Mielke recognized election volunteers on primary election day and encouraged residents to
vote in person.
Wassenberg reported on the Northeast Youth and Family Services annual board-staff picnic,
noting that NYFS is expanding services to include psychological evaluations for adulg in
addition to children.
May reported that neighborhood block parties were well-attended. She noted that the
Environment Commission met on Monday, where Chair Adam Keester prepared a comparison
of the Bolstad development plan against the city's Climate Action Plan goals, identifying
priorities and deficiencies. She also celebrated that a water line has been installed at the
Community Garden, a welcome development given the hot, dry weather.
Mayor Gustafson noted that he and Council Member Mogen attended five block parties. He
reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission met and worked on the park rental
agreemen! streamlining earlier draft language. The Commission will meet on Wednesday,
September 2nd (moved from Labor Day) to continue work on a vision statement for parks
within the Bolstad development. A soft launch of the new Community Park is planned for fall,
with Fall Fest currently scheduled at the elementary school in October, though a possible merge
with the park opening event is under consideration.
Linehan provided the following staff updates:
. State Fair parking permits have been mailed to all relevant zones, and digital pass
requests and variance applications are being processed.
. T2Systems adminishative citation infrastructure is being set up; scanners are delayed in
customs in Quebec.. The State Fair resource guide has been mailed to residents.
. Monument sign lighting repairs are underway at City Hall and the Snelling-Larpenteur
location.. Boulevard trees were recently planted using a Releaf grant.
. Community Park update: playground equipment delivery is expected nextweek; splash
pad activation is pending vendor coordination; the contractor will retum to regrade the
entire site and seed after August 15th (the watershed-required seeding date); bathrooms
will open with the building, which is anticipated by late September to early October.

Item Consideration of Selecting Century Fence to Install Playground Fencing at
Community Park and Approving Quote Not to Exceed $48,600
Description For the initial park project bid, one of the alternates was the installation of a fence
around the playground at Community Park. Pricing came in around $48,000 at the
time, but it was not bid using prevailing wage requirements. The City had bid it as
an alternate in the event we did not get the Outdoor Recreation DNR grant, so that
we could have pricing and an option if we wanted to move forward with a quote.
As we did get the grant, it was required that we rebid the work using the MN DNR
format.
WSB released an RFP on behalf of the City and accepted proposals for playground
fencing from qualified providers through August 20,2026. Four vendors
submitted quotes during this time for consideration. Of the four quotes received,
Century Fence submitted the lowest base bid of $48,600.
In addition, the safety fencing was part of the City's requested expenses to be
covered as part of the MN DNR Outdoor Recreation grant and will be part of the
reimbursable fees totaling $350,000.
Budget
Impact
Funds are budgeted in the2026 capital budget for the playground upgrade.

Item Approve Agreement for Curb Repair at1,446Iowa Avenue W
Description Staff has idenffied a localized drainage issue along the curb line abutting1,446
Iowa Avenue W. A street tree has heaved a portion of the existing curb,
creating an obstruction that prevents water from draining along the curb line
and creates ahazard to the roadway, particularly in winter during fueezing
conditions. The condition is particularly noticeable following the City's 2025
Pavement Management Project, which re-established the crown of the
roadway.
As part of the 2l2lPavement Management Project, curb was replaced
upstream of the current drainage issue. Staff reviewed both existing survey
taken before the project and conducted post-construction survey which
verified that the 2025 project did not change the slope, grade, or flow lines in
the area of the current issue. Staff believes the drainage condition is instead
related to the existing tree-heaved curb coupled with the re-established crown
of the roadway. Prior to the2025 project, drainage likely flowed around the
irregular curb line and into the roadway before continuing downstream to the
catch basin at the intersection of Iowa Avenue W and Pascal Street. With the
roadway crown re-established during the2025 project, the heaved curb now
creates a more significant impediment to drainage.
The proposed repair consists of removing the heaved portion of curb and tying
the new curb into the existing curb to establish positive drainage, which would
be roughly 100lineal feet of curb rehabilitation. The work will also require
limited pavement removal and restoration, as well as traffic control.
The City requested quotes from qualified contractors to complete the repair.
The following quotes were received:
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
54
North Valley, Inc. submitted the lowest quote of $24,958.95. Staff recommend
entering into an agreement with North Valley,Inc. to complete the work.
Construction is anticipated to occur in late September.
Budget Impact The proposed repair will be funded through Capital Improvement Fund 419,
Sufficient funds are available from the 2025 Road Project budget to complete
the work. The agreement with North Valley, Inc. will be for fi24,958.95,
consistent with the contractor's submitted quote.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Meeting Date August 26,2026
Agenda Item Policy H1
Attachment Change Order #1; Resolution
Submitted By Erik Henricksen, City Engineer
Item Approve Change Order #lfor the2026 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project,
FH 25-03.
Description The City approved a contract with Visu-Sewer,Inc. on April 22,2026, for the
2026Sarutary Sewer Lining Project in the amount of $230,560.00. The project
originally included approximately 5,400lineal feet of sanitary sewer lining
along Fairview Ave, Roselawn Ave, Garden Ave, Larpenteur Ave, and Maple
Knoll Dr.
The City budgeted $400,000 for sanitary sewer lining lr.2026. Due to the
favorable bid received from Visu-Sewer, staff worked with the contractor to
determine whether additional sanitary sewer rehabilitation could be
completed as part of the 2026 project. Through this process, the City and Visu-
Sewer agreed to pricing that allows the remaining sanitary sewer lining needs
in Falcon Heights to be completed as part of the current project.
Change Order #1 is attached which shows quantities, unit pricing, and total
cost.
The additional work will increase the total project from approximately 5,400
lineal feet to approximately 10,400lineal feet of sanitary sewer lining. This will
complete all currently identified sanitary sewer lining needs within the City,
eliminating the need for the sanitary sewer lining project previously
anticipated for 2027. Staff will continue to monitor the condition of the sanitary
sewer system and recommend additional rehabilitation projects as needed.
The negotiated pricing provides additional value to the City. The unit price for
8" CIPP lining remains unchanged from the original bid. The additional18"
CIPP lining price was reduced from $209.15 per lineal foot to $130.00 per lineal
foot, and t}:re21" CIPP lining was negotiated at $202.00 per lineal foot. The
negotiated 21" was not originally bid, however the quoted price remains below
the original18" CIPP unit price.
Change Order #1 is in the amount of $213,982.30, increasing the total contract
amount from $230,560.00 to $444,542.30. \Atrhile the revised contract amount
exceeds the $400,000 budget bv $44,542.30, the additional work can be
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota
72
completed under the existing project without separately incurring many of the
costs associated with a future project including mobilization, traffic control,
and other appurtenant work. AdditionalTy, staff anticipates particular items in
the original award will not be needed in this year's project (allowances,
transition liners, and short liners) reducing the overall cost of the project.
Completing the additional lining as part of the 2026 project is therefore
expected to provide long-term cost savings to the City and completes the
planned lining efforts in Falcon Heights for the foreseeable future.
Construction is scheduled to begin in September following the State Fair, with
completion remaining scheduled for October 16,2026.
Budget Impact The original contract amount of $230,560.00 was substantially below the
$400,000 budgeted for the 2026 sanltary sewer lining project. Change Order #1
will increase the contract amount to $444,542.30, which is$44,542.30 above the
2026 project budget.
The additional work will complete the City's currently identified sanitary
sewer lining needs and eliminate the need for a separate 202T linrngproject.

in long-term cost savings by avoiding a separate mobilization, traffic control,
and other project-related costs. AdditionalTy, staff anticipates particular items
