Dear Mr, Peterson, Thank you for holding the public meeting regarding the proposed options for the project. [ had planned to view the options again (online) prior to sending these comments but do not yet see the materials upyet (Mindy had stated they might beposted today). Here are my preliminary comments: 1) This stretch is used extensively by bicyclists, both individuals and dubs and races. Hence, maintaining lane width, and particularly wide shoulders should be a priority for safety. 2) The stretch is used for walking, but perhaps less so than for bicyclists. Pedestrians and their pet companions walk this stretch year round and have always been served well by the wide shoulders along this stretch. Their safety would not be enhanced by a sidewalk unless there was a commitment from the City of Lake Brno that they would pass the funding and/or ordinances, and enforce, such that such sidewalks remain cleared year round. [ don't believe the City can be relied on to make this happen (as they don't do so currently, even in areas where sidewalks and residential trails have existed for sometime), and hence people will be forced back on the street, now perhaps with narrower lanes and shoulders, for much of the year, decreasing their safety. Hence, I oppose the installation of a sidewalk on this stretch. 3) On -street parking must continue to be aUVommmd along this stretch. One of the consultants (Sue/Susan) stated that, at least under one or more of the options, there would be no parking allowed on either side of the street. People with lake homes tend to attract large gatherings of friends and family to their homes on summer weekends, and, year round, even for modest -sized gatherings/parties, home driveways cannot accommodate all the parking that might be needed. Moreover, given the parking condidons/prospectson 20th, 24th and 30th, it would be inappropriate to push overflow parking to those locations, nor have people walk the up to half mile or so back to the home on Lake Elmo Ave they are visiting. 4) Regarding the choice between curb/guttersand ditches, [ need toreview the plans more closely, and will do so when the info becomes available online. file:///T:/OsersemAppData/Loco|/Ter-np/l/notes0\D��web9906.htm 6/28/2017 Page 2 of 2 Thank you for your consideration of my feedback comments.

The use of any pesticide that adversely affects pollinators is prohibited in any of the city's land including parks, roadways, and facility grounds. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a system that establishes a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining cultural, mechanical, physical, biological and chemical tools to eliminate or mitigate economic, environmental and health damage caused by pests. IPM minimizes the use of pesticides and the risk to human health and the environment associated with pesticide applications. This system uses integrated methods, site or pest inspections, pest population monitoring, evaluations of the need for pest control, plus one or more pest control methods such as sanitation, structural repairs, both mechanical and living biological controls, and many other non -chemical methods. If nontoxic options are deemed unreasonable and have been exhausted, then resort to the least toxic pesticides. The objective of this IPM plan is to: • Identify cultural, mechanical, physical, biological and chemical control methods to manage noxious plants and pests. Identify cultural, mechanical, physical, biological and chemical control methods for maintenance practices including: parking lot and pavement preservation, trail maintenance, ROW maintenance and ecological restoration practices. IPM Coordinator The IPM Coordinators are the Planning Director for new developments and the Public Works Director for existing city facilities. The IPM Coordinators are responsible to implement the IPM plan and to coordinate pest management -related communications. The IPM Coordinators will review annually and update the IPM program. Pest Definition The primary focus of the IPM is an integrated approach for managing pests. For our purposes, a pest is an organism considered injurious or unwanted by humans. This can include, but not limited to groups, including animals, plants, fungi, and viruses. IPM Decision Making Strategy An Integrated Pest Management decision shall consist of the following steps: 1. Identify noxious plant/pest species 2. Monitor and assess the action levels of pests 3. Select the appropriate management methods based on current on -site information 4. Record keeping 5. Assess effectiveness of pest management 6. Tactics for future prevention 7. Further evaluation I. Identify noxious plant/nest species Proper and accurate ID of pests is essential for choosing the appropriate control method. 2. Monitor and asses action levels of pests Some pests and plants can be tolerated at low levels. Monitoring on a regular basis ensures staff is taking action when an action threshold has been reached. 3. Select the appropriate management methods based on current on -site information Decisions concerning whether or not pesticides should be applied in a given situation will be based on a review of all available options. Efforts will be made to avoid the use of pesticides by adequate pest proofing of facilities, beneficial sanitation practices, selection of pest -resistant plant materials, and appropriate horticultural practices. When it is determined that a pesticide must be used in order to meet pest management objectives, the least -hazardous material will be chosen. The types of control methods are listed in the next section. No person shall apply, store, or dispose of any pesticide on without being trained with the Public Works Department's Pesticide/Herbicide Safety training. 4. Record keeping A record keeping system is essential to establish trends, patterns, and thresholds in pest outbreaks. Information recorded at every inspection or treatment should include pest identification, population size, distribution, recommendations for future prevention, and complete information on the treatment action. Records will be maintained for two years. 5. Assess effectiveness of nest management Using the records kept by Park staff, and recent monitoring feedback, the IPM coordinator will review the management method used and decide if the method is producing the wanted outcome. If not, the IPM coordinator and staff will develop a new strategy to combat the pest at hand. Only after all 1PM methods are expelled will the use of pesticide be necessary. 6. Tactics for future prevention Prevention is the primary means of this, and any IPM program. Weed and pest problems can be largely avoided by careful design, soil preparation, proper planting/irrigation, and mulching practices. Park staff will use preventative actions to reduce conditions that attract pests to both the facility grounds and buildings. Finalized preventative measures will be incorporated into future and existing structures and designs. 4 7. Further evaluation The Environmental Committee will review the 1PM program annually to gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of the program. Updates and renovations will be added to the preceding year's 1PM. Control Methods Once the decision making strategies have been considered and a pest has reached an action threshold, below are types of control methods to consider. These control methods are listed in order of most desirable #1 cultural control, to least desirable #5 chemical control. I. Cultural control.. -Selecting resistant species -Proper planting and watering techniques -Ensure healthy soil by using organic soil amendments such as compost -Habitat modification 2. Mechanical control: -Mowing, cutting and pruning - Mulching -Hand pulling - Hand torches/Flamers -Sanitation practices 3. Physical control: -Over-seeding -Thinning plant canopy -Tree tubes for young trees 4. Biological control: -Enhancement of favorable environment for natural enemies of pests -Introduction of native predators -Use of natural grazers such as goats, sheep, cattle and bison 5. Chemical control: - Only after exhausting non -chemical control methods -1PM coordinator must approve and decide on the least toxic chemical to be used Pesticide Application and Training The Public Works Director shall be responsible for distributing a pesticide application training document and record keeping documents for staff using pesticides on public 5 property. Applicators must have the appropriate Minnesota Department of Agriculture pesticide license. Plant -specific strate2ies for Minnesota noxious weeds Minnesota State Statute 18.75 provides a list of plant species that required to be controlled due to their aggressive nature, and potential to cause economic damage to landowners. The City of Lake Elmo uses this list to prioritize control efforts throughout the parks. A description of each species and control methods are described below. . Eradicate List Prohibited noxious weeds that are listed to be eradicated are plants that are not currently known to be present in Minnesota or are not widely established. These species must be eradicated, meaning all of the above and below ground parts of the plant must be destroyed, as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 18.78. Additionally, no transportation, propagation, or sale of these plants is allowed. Measures must also be taken to prevent and exclude these species from being introduced into Minnesota. a. Common teasel (Dipsacus fidlonum) b. Cut -leaved teasel (Dipsacus laciniatus) c. Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria dalmatica) d. Giant hogweed (Heracleum Mantegazzianum Sommier and Levier e. Grecian foxglove (Digitalis lanata) f. Japanese hops (Humulus japonicas Siebold and Zucc.) g. Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) Mechanical Control: Small infestations can be hand -pulled, but the entire plant and roots should be removed. Biological Control: Goats can be used to suppress re -growth of plants which have been cut. Chemical Control: Foliar treatment of Bittersweet can be done with a 2% solution of triclopyr amine (Garlon 3a) mixed in water with a non-ionic surfactant (.5%) to the leaves. (8 oz per 3 gal. mix). Cut —stem treatment can be done with a 25°/© mix oftriclopyr amine (Garton 3a) and applied to the stem. h. Yellow starthistle (Centurea solstitialis) 6 2. Controlled List: Prohibited noxious weeds listed to be controlled are plants established throughout Minnesota or regions of the state. Species on this list must be controlled, meaning efforts must be made to prevent the spread, maturation and dispersal of any propagating parts, thereby reducing established populations and preventing reproduction and spread as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 18.78. Additionally, transportation, propagation, or sale of these plants is prohibited. a. Common Barberry, Berberis vulgaris L. b. Narrowleaf Bittercress, Cardamine impatiens L. c.

Specially Regulated Plant List: Specially regulated plants are plants that may be native species or have demonstrated economic value, but also have the potential to cause harm in non - controlled envirorunents. Plants designated as specially regulated have been determined to pose ecological, economical, or human or animal health concerns. Plant specific management plans and or rules that define the use and management requirements for these plants will be developed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture for each plant designated as specially regulated. Measures must also be taken to minimize the potential for harm caused by these plants. a. Poison ivy, Toxicodendron radicans (L.) Kuntze& T. radicans (Small) Green Must be eradicated or controlled for public safety along rights -of -ways, trails, public accesses, business properties open to the public or on parts of lands where public access for business or commerce is granted. Must also be eradicated or controlled along property boarders when requested by adjoining landowners. b. Japanese Knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum Seib, & Zucc. Synonym as Fallopia japonica (Houttuyn) Ronse-Decmene e* Giant Knotweed, Polygonum sachalinense F. Schmidt ex Maxim. Synonym: Fallopia sachalinensis Schmidt) Ronse-Decruene Any person, corporation, business or other retail entity distributing Japanese and/or giant knotweeds for sale within the state, must have information directly affixed to the plant or container packaging that it is being sold with, indicating that it is unadvisable to plant this species within 100 feet of a water body or its designated flood plain as defined by Minnesota Statute 103F.1 11. Subdivision 4. d. Japanese Barberry, Berberis thunbergii DC, Phase -out of seediest varieties listed below: These cultivars average greater than 600 seeds per plant and will begin a three-year phase -out period in Minnesota beginning January 1, 2015. Anderson' (Lustre Green -FM): "Angel Wings': 'Antares': 'Bailgreen (Jade Carousel*); 'Bailone(Ruby (arouselt): 'Bruise!'

Amur Maple, Acer ginnala Maxim Sellers shall affix a label that advises buyers to only plant Amur maple and its cultivars in landscapes where the seedlings will be controlled by mowing or other means. Amur maple should be planted at least 100 yards from natural areas. Pest -Specific Strategies for Site Tvues Sites types differ throughout the city and therefore require various control methods to suit their specitic needs. Listed below are the site types. 1. Trails and Pathways 2. Waterways 3. Right -of -Ways 4. Landscape Beds 5. Turf Areas 6. Hard Surface Areas 7. Playgrounds 8, Natural Areas 9. No pesticide Zones Parking lot and pavement preservation Flame technology Flame technology for home gardens have been around since the 1940s, and can be used on parking lot and pavement preservations to suppress vegetation growth within the cracks. Portable gas torches that produce heat above 2,000°F and can harm the vegetation structure within seconds. As the flame comes into contact with the vegetation, the heat boils the water within the plants' cells, causing the cells to burst and destroying the cell and foliage. Portable torches should be used in early spring and summer as the annual and perennial weed emerges. Controlling the vegetation at an early stage will save on time and fuel. Proper personal protective equipment should always be worn and the manufacturer's instructions should be well understood. Torches should never be used during extreme dry periods and the area should be clear of any unwanted debris. Torches should only be used with wind speeds below 5-miles-per-hour and outside of vehicles including KubotaTM, GatorTM, etc. Torch control works best when the vegetation is one to two inches tall. Warning signs should be placed at least 100 feet away from the beginning and end of the area of flame work. Flame tanks can range from 14-16oz tanks to five gallon tanks; using a larger tank does increase the time and area that can be burned. While pavement and parking lot protocols are being conducted a fire extinguisher should be within the vicinity in case the fire gets out of comfort. The operator should be wearing fire resistant gloves, long sleeve cotton shirt, long pants, and closed -toes boots. The tank hoses will vary by model. If the tank hose has a "torch bell" a hand lighter with a long neck should be used to light the torch. Do not use matches or a small lighter. Hands should not go near the end of the hose during the ignition process. Review all safety data sheets and company product protocols before going out into the field. Safety and Protocols 9 Propane tanks can range from 14-16oz to five gallons using a larger tank increases the time and area that can be burned. While pavement and parking lot protocols are being conducted, a fire extinguisher should be within the vicinity in case the fire gets out of comfort. The operator should be wearing fire resistant gloves, long sleeve cotton shirt, long pants, and closed -toes boots. The tank hoses will vary by model. If the tank hose has a "torch bell" a hand lighter with a long neck should be used to light the torch. Hands should not go near the end of the hose during the ignition process. Organic herbicide SummerSet Alldown Concentrate is a non -selective broadcast leaf and grass herbicide with the primary active ingredients of acetic acid and citric acid. Mixing should be done away from human and vehicle traffic. Alldown should be mixed two part of chemical to one part water (2:1 ratio). Rubber gloves, protective glasses, and long sleeves should be wom while the chemical is being handled. Pour the designated amount of chemical into the backpack sprayer, use water from the nearest hose to fill the tanks to the desired amount. The hose should NOT be placed in the tank to fill. The hose mouth should be held six to twelve inches away from the sprayer. Spraying should only occur when the temperature is between 65°F - 90°F for effective vegetation degradation. Spraying should be conducted with a wind speed of less than 10 miles -per -hour. Material safety data sheets should be reviewed before using the chemical. Proper safety equipment should be worn while cleaning; i.e. safety glasses, gloves, long sleeves, and long pants. Rinsing the spraying containers, wands and nozzles should be done away from vehicle traffic, human traffic, and natural water sources. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and replace cap to prime pressure. Spray diluted chemical into ground for ten seconds, All containers should be properly labelled. Chemical Herbicide Rodeo herbicide can be used to eradicate a broad range of invasive and native vegetation. Rodeo can be mixed in variety sizes of herbicide backpack sprayers and tank sprayers with the correct ration of Rodeo to water. It is necessary to record the; date, applier, chemical used, location; and if there was an excess amount remaining in the backpack, if a label was created for the backpack, or the backpack was rinsed three times at the end of the use in the Pesticide Application Records three ringed -binder located in the chemical room of its designated park. Spraying should be conducted with a wind speed of less than 10 miles -per -hour and should be conducted between 65°F - 90°F. Material safety data sheets should be reviewed before using the chemical The chemical and water should be mixed away from human and vehicle traffic. Rubber gloves, protective glasses, and long sleeves should be worn while the chemical is being handled. Pore the designated amount of chetnical into the backpack sprayer, use water 10 from the nearest hose to fill the tanks to the desired amount. The hose should NOT be placed in the tank to fill. The hose mouth should be held six to twelve inches away from the sprayer. Rinsing the spraying containers, wands and nozzles should be done away from vehicle traffic, human traffic, and natural water sources. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and replace cap to prime pressure. Spray diluted chemical into ground for ten seconds. Dispose of excess chemical and refill and repeat actions two more times creating a, "triple rinse". All containers should be properly labelled as -clean". If the chemical was not used or cleaned and is still in the container, a label should be placed on top of the container that has the date, chemical, and percent of chemicals (i.e. mrndd rodeo @5%). Trail maintenance Management of trails in regards to 1PM primarily involves the removal of invasive species, unwanted native species, pesky insects, problematic small mammals, and to ensure the structural integrity of the trail itself. Park staff identify the plant in question and then assess the population at hand. Once an IPM method has been decided on and implicated, further monitoring must be done to ensure the pest is under control or eradicated. Removal of either invasive or unwanted native species can be done by hand pulling or by using machinery. To prevent vegetative pests on trails, the depth of the trail material is monitored. Thinning trails receive new surface material to combat weed penetration. Insects and small mammal pests are deterred by introducing natural predators or the pest's natural enemies; this can be done by shaping the infected area to the wanted animal's preferred habitat. Eroding trails receive new surface material and may need plant species with extensive root systems planted along them to prevent future deterioration. ROW maintenance Lake Elmo's Ordinance for the Management of Right of Ways states: "To provide for the health, safety, and well-being of its citizens, and to ensure the structural integrity of its streets and the appropriate use of the rights -of -way, the city strives to keep its rights -of -way in a state of good repair and free from unnecessary encumbrances. - Right of ways (ROW) include medians, curbsides, ditches, and landscape beds within the right of way. Since the City of Lake Elmo is a Bee -Safe City, the goal of the ROW maintenance is to provide suitable habitat for pollinators, with special emphasis on bees and monarch butterflies. This includes planting native plants in diverse and dense amounts, reducing mowing, and limiting herbicide use. 11 Alternative Pesticide List — 2017 PESIK:iDE OR BEST PRACTICE 1)1.),-vdktra — Organic (Soil Tech Corp) citric acid, malic acid, clove oil — Organic (DOW AgroSciences) Perlargonic acid (Final Stop by Dr. Earth) f — Organic (Summerset) ;.3ooidt' — Organic (Bayer Cropscience) clove oils, citric acid — Organic Rrxd NI a it Len Flameweeding, blow torch, controlled burns Aold for example: Thistle (Natives: Hills, Tall, Field, Flodmans, Swamp) (Non-native: Canada, Bull, Plumeless, Musk) C4 HERBICIDE: non -selective herbicide for herbaceous broadleaf and grass weeds including garlic mustard and leafy spurge.

Can be used to target mosquito and black fly larvae. When scouting plants for pests, check for both pest and beneficial insects such as lady beetles and bees. If beneficial insects are present, wait to treat and see if the beneficial insects can control the pest insects. Reduce mowing of roadside beyond clear zone to benefit pollinators and reduce maintenance costs. Reduce frequency of mowing (one side per year), or timing (October or later). Restore remnant habitat and existing native vegetation. If pesticides are necessary, use spot treatments. Do not use systemic insecticides which are highly toxic to pollinators and stay in the plant, soil or tree. Never spray flowers or buds. Do not apply while plants are in full bloom. Spray in the evening when bees are not foraging. Statewide swarm rescue. Identify the insect species first if possible. Catchers will rescue and relocate honeybees, bumblebees and some native bees. www.otni-i,or, (Organic Materials Review Institute) www.bevondoesticidcs.or,4 (Pesticide Gateway found under Resources) ww.pcsticideintO.oru (PAN Pesticide Database) \VW,1/4!(1111S.Ilk:(:11117)Ci-databaSe (Data Logic Database) 13 Insecticide Toxicity to Bees: By Active Ingredient class Carbarnates Neoniccitincids Org anophesp ha te s Pyrethroids Botanical Insect growth regulators I Juvenile hormone I Diamides Macrocyclic lactones Miticides I Spinosyns Tetronic acids Tetrarnic acid dery GABA-gated chloride channel Pyridine carboxamide Pyridine azomethines Other insectiaides Examples of corirncn names E^Kamples o-f trade names Cart ery I I thiamethoxam roeuran irnici÷tifenthro Attetaimp-En ;;Ai. tri,ackw:d cb;.,:lrpyr r3te phosmet fenh cyTh rn pem-etrwretrrrrethr azadiratr,t,n, neer; c,!I cql:tenzurxDr, letuferxczide tpfz ifxvri ;7; reX X ferl novzikr ci-dor3r,trn.r.:P4prci!e ;et beilzcate extoxazole fevyrr,Y'Ci :I re- bfenazate .r.,,vnciat:er! finror4 Arena.

There are a number of new developments that have streets that do not meet street width standards for parking on both or even one side of the street, according to adopted City Engineering Standards. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The City Council is being asked to consider Ord. 08-XXX which adds streets within new developments that do not meet City Engineering Standards for street width for parking on both or one side of the street. REVIEW/ANALYSIS: Adopted City Engineering Standards indicate the following minimum street width for parking: • Both sides of the street: 28 feet • One side of the street: 24 feet • No parking: 22 feet or less Streets with No or One -Sided Parking Added. As previously stated, there are a number of new developments that have streets that do not meet these standards. These street names need to be added to Schedule 1. Parking Prohibited of Chapter 73: Parking Schedules. Fines Removed. Lastly, fines for parking of trailers was stricken, as the City no longer references administrative citations in the Code. The process outlined in the amended Section 10.99 shall be followed. City Council — StaffReport Meeting date: 7/11/2017 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: Most of the new/proposed No Parking areas are signed properly. The only areas that are not signed (signs are not called for in approved plans) are in Boulder Ponds and Savona along 5111 St and Junco Ave in Savona. These areas would require about 17 signs at approx. $100 each installed by PW Staff. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is being asked to discuss the proposed changes and direct staff whether or not to move this item forward to a future Council Meeting.

Attached is the staff report from the March 21, 2017 Council Meeting where this item was discussed and the Council voted 3 - 0 to apply the City logo on the southwest side of the tower. Councilmembers Bloyer and Fliflet were absent from that meeting. Staff is currently attempting to obtain updated pricing for the addition of a second logo on the tower and we hope to have that information for you at the workshop. 11 JE CITY OF LAKE El MO STAFF REPORT DATE: 3/21/17 REGULAR ITEM #: 25 MOTION TO: City Council FROM: Rob Weldon, Public Works Director AGENDA ITEM: Inwood Ave. Water Tower Logo Change REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator BACKGROUND: As construction begins to commence for the season and the completion date of the new Inwood Ave. Water Tower draws closer, an opportunity to change the painted logo on the water tower has opened. "Branding", or including official city logos and slogans is becoming a popular site on water towers across the country and right here in the Twin Cities Metro Area. This new style of logo moves away from traditional "Block" letters that depict a city's name and provide a more appealing logo that is inviting to visitors and residents alike, while displaying city pride. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council authorize a change order to apply the city logo on the Inwood Ave. Water Tower? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: When construction plans were approved for the Inwood Ave. Water Tower, they were approved in a way that would match the new tower to the existing Tower #2 at the Public Works Facility. Tower #2 was constructed and painted to match the Public Works Facility, white with red block letters spelling out Lake Elmo. With the location of the new Inwood Tower in more of a residential area, the exterior color scheme that was approved to match Tower #2 is not very conducive to the surroundings of the new water tower. By changing, and moving away from the red "Lake Elmo" block letters and applying the city logo to the new water tower a more appealing color scheme would be visible to residents and visitors while boasting the official city logo to travelers along the I-94 & 1-694 corridors. Once completed, the selected logo applied to the water tower will be visible for approximately 15-20 years. That is the typical expected life of properly applied paint coatings on water towers. FISCAL IMPACT: $10,000 to apply logos to both north and south sides of water tower. $ 5,000 (approx.) to apply city logo to southwest side of water tower. OPTIONS: -Approve change order to apply the city logo on two sides of the Inwood Ave. Water Tower. -Approve change order to apply the city logo on one side of the Inwood Ave. Water Tower. -Make no changes to the approved water tower plans. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to approve a change order authorizing the City of Lake Elmo logo to be applied on the southwest side of the Inwood Ave. Water Tower.

"He's the -clearest and most c.oncise candi- date who offers the same straightforward po- sitions in public and private:' Hunt said, "He's committed to transparency and accountabil- planning process." Harris delegate Peggy Summers of High- land Park was not worried when her candidate was dropped from the fifth ballot because she knew he was moving on to the general elec- tion. "I've known (Harris) for most of his life," she said. "He has a proven record of success in getting things done. He was responsive to constituents as a City Council member, and he'll be the same as mayor." Former St, Paul Mayor George Latimer said A4,4444444,4 h PAGE 3 ate short-term rent two short-term rentals in an owner -occupied duplex, unless they obtained a conditional use permit. In other zoning districts, the number of short-tei in rentals would be limited to half of the units in a building, up to a maximum of four, without a conditional use permit. Short-term rentals should be regulated in the same way as bed -and -breakfasts, hotels and motels, according to Kris Ulmer, execu- tive director of the Professional Association of Innkeeper International. Lance Bondhus of the Minnesota Vacation Rental Alliance said his group generally sup- ports the regulations. However, he added, the short-term rental industry does regulate itself. Patrons are encouraged to rate their hosts, he said, "and if you're a bad host, you don't get people staying again." Several individual hosts of short-term rent- als told the Planning Commission that they should be allowed to operate without exces- sive licensing and parking requirements. They spoke of the benefit of short-term rentals for themselves as well as their guests. Summit Hill resident Stacy Johnson rents out two units in her triplex to short-term guests and lives in the third unit. The majority of her guests are senior citizens who fly in for family functions and want to stay in a historic neighborhood, she said. They usually do not with or without the endorsement "was the right decision. While the conventions are im- portant, they represent too small of a sample of voters throughout the city," Latimer said. "This is more about the election than it is the party endorsement in a DFL-dominated town with ranked choice voting, so let the people decide in the general election:' Receiving the DFL endorsement for the three open seats on the St. Paul School Board were incumbents Jeanelle Foster and John have cars. "If I rented my triplex to conventional, long-term residents, there could be six cars on the street," she said, "Typically now there are only two cars on any given day." Ramsey Hill resident Anastasia Galati said she has rented rooms to more than 150 short-term guests in the past three years. The income from those rentals has allowed her to maintain her home and continue to live there. "The regulations the city is proposing sound reasonable, but they could be abused," said Pam Biladeau, who owns and operates a bed -and -breakfast in Ramsey Hill. According to her, she and her partner, Cory Biladeau, had to meet many requirements before open- ing their B&B. Meanwhile, a short-term rent- al near the -University of St, Thomas houses up to 12 people with little regulation. The B&B owners questioned the city's abil- ity to assess sales and lodging taxes on the ap- proximately 15 short-term rental platforms. B&Bs are subject to state inspections for food service and lodging, and the owners ques- tioned how the city would find, let alone in- spect, the hundreds of short-term rentals. The package of proposed regulations will return to the Planning Commission later this month for a recommendation before they are forwarded to the City Council. fourth DFL candidate, Eduardo Barrera, bowed out of the race and promised to work for the DFL ticket in November.
