• The list of organization and project priorities to hand off to the new City

Councilmember Stoesz, as the City Representative to the North Metro

management software with North Metro TV as there may be options to integrate this
with the broadcast agenda materials.
Councilmember Lyden requested that Rookery activities and membership be included
with the upcoming Updates.
Councilmember Stoesz, as the Alternate Representative to the Twin Cities Gateway
organization, suggested that the City work with Twin City Gateway on promoting Lino
Lakes during the 3M Open Golf Tournament, being held in Blaine, July 24 - 27, 2025.

Page 2 of 5
Councilmember Ruhland asked if the City's communications platforms included an App
for resident notifications.
The Human Resources & Communications Manager stated that the City uses an e-
notification application within CivicPlus. Residents need to sign up for the notification as
the City can not send out an e-notice without having them sign up first.

The Human Resources & Communications Manager presented the timeline and next
steps in the recruitment process. March 24th the Council will be asked to select the
finalists to be interviewed. The interviews are planned for April 15th. The consultant,
DDA, will be conducting a background check and work personality tests for all finalists
invited to interview.
Councilmember Lyden requested that the consultant provide the Council with the name
of the work personality test that was to be used in the process.
Mayor Rafferty commented that there have been significant advances, under the
leadership of the Interim City Administrator, and that he hoped the time required for
the onboarding of the new administrator would not slow that progress.
The Council discussed the notice period to be negotiated with the new City
Administrator.

Manager that the Pay Equity Report was current.
Mayor Rafferty commended the Interim City Administrator and Human Resources &

designee.

MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-21 Approving Permanent Right of Way
Easement and Agreement with Ramsey County, 135E/CRJ
Interchange Project
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to transfer existing City right-of-way to Ramsey
County for the reconstruction of the 135E/CR J interchange improvements.
BACKGROUND
Ramsey County continues to work toward completion of the plans and specifications of the 1-
35E/CRJ Interchange for proposed bid letting in spring of 2025. As discussed at the January 6,
2025 work session, staff is continuing to work with Anoka County, Ramsey County and MnDOT,
regarding jurisdiction of the roadway between Centerville Road and 20t" Avenue.
As previously explained, County Road J, between Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road is under
the jurisdiction of multiple road authorities. The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Ramsey
County and Mn/DOT each share responsibility for certain portions of the roadway. The north
half of CRJ, from Centerville Road to approximately 20t" Avenue, is under the City's jurisdiction.
The road is not currently on the City or County's municipal state aid system. However, all
parties are proposing the use of state aid as part of the funding. We have been informed by
Mn/DOT that roadways cannot share Municipal and County State Aid Designations.
After considerable discussion Ramsey County is proposing to take over as the responsible road
authority for this section. This would allow Ramsey County to designate this as a state aid
roadway. To facilitate this process the City will need to transfer its roadway easement rights to
Ramsey County. This will be done by granting Ramsey County a public road easement over the
subject area. The City will remain responsible for cost associated with the improvement
consistent with the County's cost participation policy. A separate Joint Powers Agreement will
be considered regarding cost participation.
The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and Ramsey County.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 25-21.

CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 11
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2024
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-41 Supporting Retention of City
Zoning Authority
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration supporting the retention of City Zoning Authority
as it relates to several bills being considered by the state legislature.
BACKGROUND
Over the past several years the legislature has been considering bills to require more residential
options in what has traditionally been low density single family residential zoning districts.
Multiple bills, including HF 1987 SF 2229 ("Minnesota Starter Home Act"), HF 2140 SF 2231 ("More
Homes Right Places Act"), and HF 2018 SF 2286 ("Transforming Main Street Act") are being discussed at
the committee level during this year's legislative session.
These committees are considering bills that would impose a rigid state framework on
residential development, limiting local decision -making authority regardless of a city's unique
needs and circumstances. Local zoning is an important planning tool that ensures communities
can responsibly plan for residential development and address locally -identified housing needs
with resident input.
Cities recognize that there is a housing shortage across the state and across the housing
spectrum, though the shortage looks different in each community. Alongside the state, cities
play a key role in tackling housing challenges and continue to lead with local solutions. In Lino
Lakes we have continued to innovate at the local level and have supported both affordable and
market rate development.
In general, the bills:
• Limit city decision -making on land use and zoning authority
• Impose rigid state mandates on cities
• Force higher density development
• Eliminate cities' ability to require minimum parking standards on new developments
• Minimize resident input, allowing only one "community meeting" before administrative
approval of projects.
Lino Lakes has spent a considerable amount of time and resources providing thoughtful and
detailed processes planning for development. The Mapping NW Main project being a recent
example. Our existing comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance provide for a variety of
housing options and the infrastructure to support them. The proposed legislation would
preempt most of that work. At the same time none of these provisions would guarantee
affordable housing opportunities
RECOMMENDATION
Consider approval of Resolution No. 25-41.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Resolution No. 25-41
CITY OF LINO LAKES
RESOLUTION NO. 25-41
A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING RETENTION OF CITY ZONING AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, decisions regarding local zoning and land use that best fit community needs
are best left to city residents and officials; and
WHEREAS, cities utilize zoning and land use regulations to balance property usage, guide
community growth, dedicate space and capacity for public infrastructure to support
development (roads, parks and trails, transportation, sewer, stormwater, water, etc.), mitigate
flooding and erosion, and preserve natural resources among others; and
WHEREAS, the Minnesota State Legislature, in an attempt to address housing availability
and affordability challenges, is considering measures that would broadly limit city authority over
zoning and land use decisions, transferring that authority to the state government; and
WHEREAS, these proposed measures fail to adequately address housing availability and
affordability and offer no guarantees that cost savings for developers would translate into lower
housing costs for prospective homeowners or renters; and
WHEREAS, a rigid, state -mandated approach to zoning and land use —relying on overly
prescriptive mandates —would deprive cities of the flexibility necessary to accommodate their
unique circumstances; and
WHEREAS, provisions would also limit opportunities for local residents to voice their
concerns regarding proposed developments during public hearings of city council and other
public meetings; and
WHEREAS, cities across the state have invested years of work to address zoning issues,
and continue to do so, with the help of community engagement.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LINO LAKES
MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS:
The City of Lino Lakes opposes state proposals that seek to broadly limit local zoning and land
use decision -making related to residential development; and
Supports constructive policy alternatives that provide cities with performance -based standards
to guide development —while maintaining local decision -making and flexibility —and incentivize
and bolster city efforts for addressing housing challenges; and
And, advocates for a city-state partnership to consider reforms that are proven to address
housing availability and affordability and respect locally led zoning decisions and community
input.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lino Lakes this 24t" day of March 2025.

Northland Recreation Inc. for Behm's Park and Shenandoah
Park Playground Equipment
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council consideration to approve a contract with Northland Recreation
Inc. for the Behm's Park and Shenandoah Park Playground Projects. The project consists of
design services, supply and delivery of the equipment, and the provision of a certified
playground installer to assist the Parks Department.
IT411Z�91 HO
The Park Board recommended that the playground equipment be replaced as part of their
2025 goals. The existing playground equipment at Behm's Park was installed in 1999 and
at Shenandoah Park in 1998. Public Services Department staff will undertake the removals
process and perform the necessary site work.
Staff is recommending entering into a contract with Northland Recreation, Inc. via
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) for the Behm's Park and Shenandoah Park Playground projects
in the amount of $80,000 for each site. Sourcewell is a public corporation serving as a
municipal contracting agency for government and education agencies. Sourcewell serves
member agencies under the legislative authority established and granted by Minnesota
Statute 123A.21. This agreement fulfills the competitive solicitation and contract process
required of governmental agencies
The concept plan for Behm's Park is attached. Regarding Shenandoah Park, we are
evaluating the potential of reusing some of the components (posts, climbers, rails, etc.)
by sandblasting and repainting on -site. New decking and other play events would be
added to give the playground structure a fresh new look.
Recommended funding is from the Park and Trail Fund.
RECOMMENDATION

and Water Extension Project on June 10, 2024. Council then held a public hearing for the
installation of sanitary sewer and watermain in the Colonial Woods neighborhood on July 8,
2024. After the public hearing there was a 60 day petition period. There were no valid
petitions against the project submitted. On December 9, 2024 Council ordered the project,
approved the plans and specifications and authorized the ad for bid.
On February 24, 2025 the City Council approved Resolution No. 25-27 declaring costs to be
assessed and Resolution No. 25-28 calling the hearing on the proposed assessment for the 2025
Street Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Extension Project for the Colonial Woods
neighborhood.
Bids were received for the 2025 Street Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Extension project
on February 11, 2025. The sanitary sewer and water construction costs as bid for the Colonial
Woods neighborhood came in at $925,296.00. The feasibility study estimated construction cost
was $1,093,595.00. The project bid is under the planned budget amount.
The total sanitary sewer and water project cost with contingencies and overhead is
$1,211,460.00. The proposed funding is as follows:
$522,000.00 Sanitary Sewer and Water Assessments
$689,460.00 Trunk Area and Unit Fund
$1,211,460.00 Total
The amount to be assessed against the abutting benefitted properties is $522,000.00. The
proposed assessment role is enclosed. The assessments would be payable over 15 years at an
interest rate of 5 percent.
A property owner may pay the entire assessment on the property with interest accrued to the
date of payment to the City. However, no interest will be charged if the entire assessment is
paid by November 1, 2025. The amount will be certified to Anoka County prior to November
30, 2025 for collection with property taxes payable in 2026.
A public hearing is required by law prior to consideration to adopt the assessments. Property
owners have the opportunity to comment on the proposed assessment during the hearing.
Notice of the hearing was published in the Quad Press two weeks prior to the hearing. Mailed
notice was also provided to property owners in accordance with statutory provisions.
Written or oral objections to the assessments may be considered at the meeting. No appeal to
district court may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a written objection signed
by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing
or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.
Pending completion of the hearing, the City Council may consider awarding the construction
contract on March 24, 2025.

Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Extension Project
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council approval to declare the City's intent to reimburse itself from bond
proceeds for the proposed 2025 Street Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Extension Project.
BACKGROUND
On March24, 2025 the City Council is considering award of the 2025 Street Reconstruction and
Sewer and Water Extension Project contract. The project includes street reconstruction and
stormwater improvements as part of the City's Pavement Management Plan. The project also
includes the extension of sanitary sewer and water main improvements. The cost of the Street
Reconstruction portion of the project, authorized in the 2024 — 2028 Street Reconstruction plan
is $4,450,000. The utility portion of the project is estimated at $2,818,000.
The project will be financed by a combination of General Obligation Street Reconstruction
Bonds, Utility Revenue Bonds and/or General Obligation Improvement Bonds. The Internal
Revenue Code requires cities to declare their intent to reimburse project costs incurred prior to
receipt of bond proceeds. Preliminary expenditures such as architectural, engineering,
surveying, bond issuance, and similar costs are exempt from this provision. The total amount of
bonds issued may be less than the authorized limit.
Approval of the reimbursement bond resolution does not obligate the City to issue bonds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 25-39.

RESOLUTION NO. 25-39
DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE
CITY OF LINO LAKES TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN EXPENDITURES FROM THE
PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY
(2025 Street Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Improvement Project)
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met;
and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed
temporarily from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-
exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent
("Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
that:
1. The City proposes to undertake certain street reconstruction and surface
water management improvements in the Pine Haven and Colonial Woods subdivisions, as
more fully described in the City's 2024-2024 Street Reconstruction Plan (the "Project")
and sanitary sewer and water main improvements described in the Colonial Woods and
Pine Haven Feasibility Studies, dated June 10, 2024.
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for
certain costs of the Project from the proceeds of bonds in an estimated maximum
principal amount of $7,205,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures,
costs of issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under
Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of
any original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the
proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds;
(b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or
(c) "preliminary expenditures" up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the aggregate

and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or
rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City
based on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The
anticipated original expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds
described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City's budgetary and financial
circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or
are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set
aside pursuant to the City's budget or financial policies to pay such Project expenditures.

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6E
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2025
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 25-40, Declaring Intent to Reimburse
Certain Expenditures from Bond Proceeds, 2025 Street
Rehabilitation Project
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council approval to declare the City's intent to reimburse itself from bond
proceeds for the proposed 2025 Street Reconstruction and Sewer and Water Extension Project.
BACKGROUND
On February 10, 2025 the City Council awarded the contract for the 2025 Street Rehabilitation
Project. The project includes bituminous overlays and water main valve and service
replacement. The estimated project cost is $1,438,500.
The projects will be funded by a combination of General Fund proceeds and the water
operating fund. The portion of the project funded from the water operating fund, estimated at
$508,000 may be financed by issues of bonds. The Internal Revenue Code requires cities to
declare their intent to reimburse project costs incurred prior to receipt of bond proceeds.
Preliminary expenditures such as architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance, and
similar costs are exempt from this provision. The total amount of bonds issued may be less
than the authorized limit.
Approval of the bond reimbursement resolution does not obligate the City to issue bonds.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 25-40.

WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
"Reimbursement Regulations") providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met;
and
WHEREAS, the City expects to incur certain expenditures that may be financed
temporarily from sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of a tax-
exempt bond;
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent
("Declaration") to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
that:
1. The City proposes to undertake certain water main improvements, as part
of the 2025 Street Rehabilitation Project.
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for
certain costs of the Project from the proceeds of bonds in an estimated maximum
principal amount of $508,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures,
costs of issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under
Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of
any original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the
proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds;
(b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue; or

and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or
rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs

described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City's budgetary and financial
circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are, or
are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set
aside pursuant to the City's budget or financial policies to pay such Project expenditures.
