LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 2 of 6 January 8, 2018 Informational Presentations/Reports A. City Council Updates Mayor Gaasch stated that she attended a racial equity training session. Councilor Grove shared that the Ramsey County League of Local Governments is reorganizing and plans to meet again in the near future. Councilor Dains stated that he would be attending the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization goal setting retreat. Public Hearings A. 2019 Infrastructure Improvement Project Public Hearing — Resolution No. 010819E Mayor Gaasch welcomed community members before highlighting the Council's recent agreement with Ramsey County to add Eustis Street north of Larpenteur Avenue and Roselawn Avenue to our city street network in exchange for financial compensation that will be used to improve the roads. Kelly Schlegel of Stantec approached the dais to present the feasibility report findings they initially presented at the last meeting. After Schlegel's presentation, Mayor Gaasch opened the floor for public comments. Dawn Bartylla, 1911 Eustis Street, addressed the Council. She stated that as a professional driver she would like to see Eustis Streets' manholes adjusted to grade as part of the project. She also shared she would like to see the road widening shared evenly. She also wondered whether alley repairs would be included in the project. Jeff Hermes, 1733 and 1737 Eustis Street, addressed the Council. He asked the Council if they had an estimate on how much each property would be assessed. Butkowski responded the budgetary estimate was $3,600 per 40 feet of frontage. Geoffrey Hart, 1898 Eustis Street, approached the Council. He stated that those residents living on Eustis and Roselawn should not be fully responsible in bearing the costs of this project since it is beneficial to the community as a whole. If the Council did not agree with that position, he suggested the Council revise the estimate assessment downward per the letter he submitted to the Council. Beverly Powell, 1819 Eustis Street, addressed the Council. Powell asked whether sidewalks were being considered, when the assessments would start, and how wide the shoulder would be between the stripes and curb. Staff responded that sidewalks were not being considered and assessments would likely be paid starting in 2020. Harvey Skow, 1931 Carl Street approached the dais. He asked if Eustis and Roselawn were being treated as different projects with differing assessment amounts. He said he does not access LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 3 of 6 January 8, 2018 his property from Roselawn Avenue and will not benefit from the project. He said he felt he should not be assessed. Anne Feider, 1698 Eustis Street, approached the Council. She asked the Council about bonding for the project, whether it was being completed in phases, parking plans, and drainage. In conclusion, she said she felt the cost of the road should be shared among all residents because it acts as a main thoroughfare. Josh Houser, 1778 Eustis Street, approached the Council. He inquired about bike lane possibilities similar to those in neighboring cities. John Bykowski, 1918 Eustis Street, approached the dais. He asked the Council about the breakdown of assessment costs per property and whether the two roads could be done sequentially to address parking and access challenges. He appreciated the Council's financial constraint in not putting in sidewalks. Duane Pulford, 1757 Eustis Street, approached the Council. He expressed concerns over construction delays by the contractor. He asked that once they start work that they keep at it until it is completed. John Murray, 1750 Eustis Street, approached the Council. He stated that widening the streets could increase car speeds. As a father of small children he was concerned about what this could mean for their outdoor play. Mayor Gaasch closed the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. She thanked everyone who came to the meeting to speak and give their input on this project. Gaasch then asked if there was a motion from the Council. Councilor Moffatt made a motion to approve Resolution 010819E, A Resolution Ordering the 2019 Infrastructure Improvement Project. The motion seconded by Councilor Grove and carried unanimously. B. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Public Hearing Butkowski noted that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan was sent to neighboring jurisdictions for review on June 12, 2018. That six-month period ended on December 12, 2018. The City received a few comments from our neighbors. The Metropolitan Council did a preliminary review of the plan during this time. Their suggested changes were minor with the exception of being given an affordable housing allocation due to the anticipated redevelopment projects. Jennifer Haskamp of Swanson Haskamp Consulting presented an overview of the Comprehensive Plan update process including the work done by the Steering Committee and how the public formed the process. LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 4 of 6 January 8, 2018 Mayor Gaasch opened the floor to anyone in attendance that wanted to speak on this matter. Cynthia Ahlgren, 1563 Fulham Street, approached the dais. She stated that she is the President of the Friends of Breck Woods organization. Ahlgren asked the Council to consider climate change issues leading into the year 2040 when adopting the Comprehensive Plan. She urged the Council to consider it an imperative to save Breck Woods instead of viewing it as an amenity. Steve Ahlgren, 1563 Fulham Street, approached the Council. He listed possible ways that the woods could be purchased or preserved that would keep the area from being developed. He asked the Council to review the letter he emailed to them prior to the meeting. Ann Juergens, St. Paul resident, approached the dais. She informed the Council that the St. Anthony Park Community Council would be hosting a meeting on Thursday, January 10 at 7 p.m. with the prospective buyers of Breck Woods. She asked the Council to slow down the Comprehensive Plan adoption process and keep the woods designated for conservation. Margot Manson, St. Paul resident, approached the Council. She stated that not only is the Seminary's land wooded, but it is a wetland as well. Manson would like to see it preserved for the good of all insects occupying the space including the rusty patch bumblebee. Wayne Sisel, 1567 Fulham Street, approached the dais. He shared his desire to have a minimal amount of human impact in the Seminary's wooded land area. He expressed hope that all parties can reach a sensible solution. Elizabeth Ooten, 1577 Fulham Street, was last to comment. Ooten shared that she also believes the rusty patched bumblebee could be in the woods, and that if that is true, it should be protected. She said she has been asking for time to find funding to purchase Breck Woods for preservation but has received no response. Mayor Gaasch thanked all of those who contributed to the discussion of the Comprehensive Plan and for coming to the meeting. Discussion/Action Items A. Committee Appointments and Assignments The Council determines committee assignments and makes other designations at the first meeting of the year. Staff carried over the assignments from 2018 to 2019 and will finalize changes based on the outcome of the discussion. Councilor Moffatt made a motion to adopt committee assignments and designations as discussed. This was seconded by Councilor Grove and carried unanimously. LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 5 of 6 January 8, 2018 B. Government Alliance on Race and Equity Training The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) and the Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE) have partnered for a number of years to provide training on how to advance racial equality. The process is staff and resource intensive to the point that only large metropolitan cities have participated in Minnesota. LMC has been trying to create a "small cities" model and Mayor Gaasch has helped with that and a new small cities GARE cohort is scheduled for 2019. Mayor Gaasch asked the Council to consider if this is something the City should participate in, who would like to be a part of the team, and an authorization of the costs to participate. Councilor Moffatt made a motion to participate in the GARE program. This was seconded by Councilor Dains and carried unanimously. Additional Items A. Real Estate Equities Community Meeting Real Estate Equities would like to share their vision for a senior housing complex at 1795 Eustis Street with the community. The Council selected March 19 and 28 as possibilities. Staff will confirm and post notice of this event as a special meeting. Councilor Dains said the annual LMC legislative conference was in February and was wondering if others planned to attend. Staff will sign up interested councilors. Set Agenda for Next Meeting Administrator Butkowski stated that the January 22 council meeting may include a Fund 414 to Fund 415 transfer resolution, transmission of the Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council, further discussion of the draft high density residential -conservation (HDR -C) zoning ordinance, December financials, and a draft Small Cell Tower Ordinance. Work Session A. Opportunity for the Public to Address the City Council Mayor Gaasch opened the floor to anyone in attendance that wanted to address the Council. There being no interested parties to speak, Mayor Gaasch closed the floor. B. High Density Residential -Conservation (HDR -C) Draft Zoning Ordinance In July, the Council authorized Swanson Haskamp Consulting to gather community feedback and draft the zoning text for the High Density Residential—Conservation (HDR -C) zoning district proposed in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Jennifer Haskamp approached the dais to give a presentation on this topic and answer questions from the Council and community members in attendance. Her presentation included hypothetical modeling to show how the City can encourage permanent conservation by trading development bonuses and green construction. LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 6 of 6 January 8, 2018 The city attorney will review the draft zoning. A public hearing on the draft ordinance is scheduled for February 12. C. Special Assessment Policy Revisions Butkowski said the Special Assessment Policy was last revised before the 2000-2003 street improvement projects. Based upon its age, it needed updating to reflect changes in state law, improve readability, and make applicable to other projects. This plan was revised by Dave Anderson from Kennedy and Graven who addressed the Council briefly to answer questions. Adoption of these changes is anticipated at the next meeting. D. Community Development Update The developers of the Seminary owned land were in attendance at the meeting tonight. Council Member Moffatt moved to enter into a closed session at 11:25 p.m. to discuss the city administrator's performance review. This was seconded by Councilor Grove and carried unanimously. Closed Session A. City Administrator Performance Review Council Member Moffatt moved to end the closed session at 11:40 p.m. This was seconded by Councilor Grove and carried unanimously. Mayor Gaasch noted the Council discussed the city administrator's performance and said a revised employment agreement would be on the next agenda.

As a matter of practice, that fund's balance is kept at $0 and funds are only transferred in when a purchase is made. The same thing happened with the purchase of 1821 Eustis Street. As such the fund has a negative balance and needs a transfer from the development funds kept in Fund 414. This resolution allows for that effective December 31, 2018. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: By approving the consent agenda, the Council adopts Resolution 012219A—A Resolution Transferring Funds from the 414 Development Fund to the 415 Housing Development Fund. RESOLUTION NO. 012219A CITY OF LAUDERDALE COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION TRANSFERING FUNDS FROM THE 414 DEVELOPMENT FUND TO THE 415 HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FUND WHEREAS, the city council purchased a home at 1825 Eustis Street on July 11, 2018; and WHEREAS, the price of the property inclusive of closing costs was $80,317.73; and WHEREAS, the proceeds for the purchase were paid out of the Housing Development Fund 415; and WHEREAS, the Housing Development Fund 415 does not have sufficient funds to cover the purchase price; and WHEREAS, the City's Development Fund 414 has available funds and the intention of those funds was for development opportunities to enhance the community. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Lauderdale, that $80,317.73 be transferred to the Housing Development Fund 415 from the Development Fund 414 to cover the cost of the acquisition of 1825 Eustis Street. The transfer is effective December 31, 2018. ADOPTED by the City Council of Lauderdale this 22nd day of January, 2019. Mary Gaasch, Mayor ATTEST: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing X Discussion X Action X Resolution Work Session Meeting Date January 22, 2019 ITEM NUMBER Park Dedication Ordinance 4 STAFF INITIAL APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: As the City has not had significant redevelopment projects in recent history, the City has not needed a park dedication ordinance. With the redevelopment of 1795 Eustis Street and pos- sibly some portion of the land owned by the Luther Seminary, a park dedication ordinance will help the city provide the park and open space improvements needed to accommodate the additional population. Included are pages 27-30 of LMC's Subdivision Guide for Cities to provide background information. Over the past year, staff and consultants have been working on the components that allow for the adoption of a park dedication ordinance. First, the Comp Plan Steering Committee and residents provided feedback on the park and open space needs for the community into the future. Included with this memo are the pages from Chapter 5 of the 2040 Comp Plan that highlight these needs. Additionally, the city engineer has created a Park Capital Improvement Plans as a means to prepare cost estimates for the needed acquisition and development of the park system. Finally, staff, consultants, and the city attorney drafted a park dedication ordinance. The ordinance puts into place how the city would handle the dedication of land or cash in -lieu of land. OPTIONS: The purpose of this meeting is to hold the public hearing on the ordinance. If the Council determines it is ready to adopt the ordinance after the public hearing, it may do so. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: CITY OF LAUDERDALE ORDINANCE NO. 19-01 An Ordinance Adding Chapter 11-3 to the Code of Ordinances regarding Park Dedication. The city council of the city of Lauderdale ordains as follows: SECTION I. The Lauderdale City Code is amended by adding a new Chapter 3 to Title 11, which shall read as follows: CHAPTER 3 PARK DEDICATION SECTION: 11-3-1: Park Dedication 11-3-1: PARK DEDICATION: A. Dedication to City. The owners of land being subdivided shall dedicate to the City a reasonable portion of the land for use as public parks, playgrounds, trails or open space. In all subdivisions, it shall be presumed that a reasonable amount of land has been dedicated if the subdivider dedicates at least ten percent of the total land in the proposed subdivision. The City shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether a cash payment in lieu of land dedication is appropriate pursuant to Section 11-3-1(C). Upon the request of the applicant, the City Council may either increase or decrease such dedication or payment upon a determination by the City Council that such dedication or payment is unreasonable or insufficient given the specific characteristics of the proposed subdivision and its intended use. B. Suitability of Land. The City may determine, in its sole discretion, the location and configuration of any land to be dedicated pursuant to this chapter, taking into consideration the suitability of the land for its intended purpose and future needs of the community for park, playground, trail, or open space. C. Cash Contribution in Lieu of Land. At the City's option, the subdivider shall contribute a cash payment in lieu of all or a portion of the land required under Section 11-3-1(A). The amount shall be determined prior to the City granting final approval of the subdivision. The amount of any cash in lieu of land shall be based on the average fair market value of the land that would otherwise be required to be dedicated and as set forth in the City's fee schedule. 551617v1 DTA LA135-3 1. Cash contributions for residential development will be due and payable at the time of final plat approval and shall be based on the number of new lots or units created. The fee shall be established in the City's fee schedule. 2. Cash contributions for commercial and industrial development will be due and payable at the time of building permit issuance and shall be eight percent of the fair market value of the unimproved land. If an applicant disputes the amount of the proposed cash in lieu of land and is unable to negotiate an alternative amount with the City, the applicant may, at the applicant's expense, obtain an independent appraisal of the property to determine fair market value. The appraisal must be made by a certified real property appraiser who is licensed in the State of Minnesota and holds a MAI membership designation from the Appraisal Institute, or equivalent certification. D. Park Fund. Any cash contribution received pursuant to this chapter shall be placed in a separate fund and used only for the acquisition and development or improvement of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space. Cash payments must not be used for ongoing operation or maintenance of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space. E. Previously Subdivided Land. Previously subdivided property from which a park dedication has been received, being resubdivided with the same number of lots, is exempt from park dedication requirements. If, as a result of resubdividing the property, the number of lots is increased, then park dedication or cash fee must apply only to the net increase of lots. SECTION II. The City's fee schedule is hereby amended by adding the following park dedication fees: Residential: $3,000 per residential unit Commercial/Industrial: 10% of fair market value of subdivided land SECTION III. This ordinance shall be effective upon its adoption and publication. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lauderdale this 22nd day of January, 2019.

This usually includes streets and utilities, but may also include sod, plantings, play equipment, and required tree plantings. • Requires the developer to maintain liability insurance in an appropriate amount during the development and construction period. • Requires the developer to hold the city harmless and indemnify the city from all third -party claims related to the development. • Sets provisions for dealing with any potential default by the developer under the agreement. For example, allowing the city to step in and complete all agreed -to improvements, using money from a letter of credit or other financial security. • Prohibits the issuance of building permits or occupation of any structures within a development until all public infrastructure is completed and accepted by the city. A development agreement prepared by the city attorney is often the most efficient and best method to ensure that the city's regulations are followed by a developer. In addition, a development agreement can provide the city with a measure of protection against the threat of developer insolvency or bankruptcy. Finally, a well written agreement (with attention to issues of financial security) can protect the city from developers who fail to complete public improvements or abide by city requirements. VII. Land dedication for public facilities A subdivision ordinance may require a subdivision applicant to dedicate a reasonable portion of land within the development to the public to address infrastructure needs created by the development. Cities may require dedication of land to the public for numerous uses including the following: • Streets, roads and alleys. • Water, sewer, and similar facilities. • Gas, electric, and similar facilities. • Stormwater drainage and hold areas or ponds. • Parks, recreational facilities, and playgrounds. • Trails and sidewalks. • Wetlands and wetland preservation. • Open space.

Stat. § 505.01, subd. 1. Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b (i). Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b(c). Prior to adopting dedication requirements in a subdivision ordinance, the city must first adopt a capital improvement budget and adopt a parks and open space plan. The plan may be a component of the city comprehensive plan. When the city requires land to be dedicated within a specific subdivision, it must determine that: • The city reasonably needs to acquire the specific portion of land for reasons permitted by state statute (e.g. streets, parks, utilities) because of approval of the subdivision (this is sometimes referred to as a nexus requirement). • The need created by the subdivision is roughly proportional to the city's dedication requirement. For example, in a five -house subdivision, it may be reasonable to require dedication of park land for a small, local swing - set park. It may not be reasonable to require the same small subdivision to dedicate multiple acres for a community park serving hundreds of city residents. The city must also give due consideration to whether the need for the dedicated land has not already been offset or obviated by other actions of the developer in setting aside for public use other open space, recreational, common areas, or other facilities within the development. A dedication of land to the public is usually reflected on the plat document or in an easement or other deed document. When park land is dedicated to the public, the dedication conveys complete ownership to the city (known as "fee title"). Land for streets, roads, alleys, trails, and other public ways dedicated to the public conveys an easement only to the city for the dedicated purposes. Land dedicated for all other uses is conveyed to the city "in trust" for the dedicated use. Land which has been previously subdivided and from which a park dedication has been received, is exempted by state statute from further dedication requirements if a re -subdivision creates the same number of lots. Where new lots are created, a park dedication fee may be applied only to the net increase in lots. A. Cash payments in lieu of land dedication In lieu of land dedication for parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space, cities may require a developer to pay "cash fees" i.e., an equivalent value of money, commonly referred to as "park dedication League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 9/1/2018 Subdivision Guide for Cities Page 28 RELEVANT LINKS: Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b(d). Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b(c). Section VII -A-2 Fee schedules. Minn. Stat. § 462.353, subd. 4a. See LMC information memo, Newspaper Publication. fees" and/or "trail fees" (cumulatively referred to as park dedication fees in the rest of this memo). Park dedication fees excuse a developer from a local land dedication for park and recreational purposes, but still allow the city to purchase and acquire new off-site facilities to serve needs created by the subdivision. When a city establishes and imposes a park dedication fee, in lieu of land dedications, it must still comply with all the requirements discussed above for land dedications related to procedure, nexus, and proportionality. In collecting park dedication fees, the city must give due consideration the park and recreational facilities that the applicant already proposes to incorporate into the development for public use. For example, if the proposed development already includes park and trail facilities for residents, it may be more difficult to justify an additional cash fee. 1. Setting park dedication fees Park dedication fees must be established by ordinance or a fee schedule that meets the requirements of state statute. Fees must be set based upon the average fair market value of land within the area: • That is unplatted. • For which park fees have not been paid. • That is to be served at the time of final approval or will be served under the city's comprehensive plan by city sanitary sewer and water. "Fair market value" means the value of the land as determined by the municipality annually based on tax valuation or other relevant data. If the applicant objects to the city's calculation of valuation, then the value must be as negotiated between the city and the applicant, or based on the market value as determined by the city based on an independent appraisal of land in a same or similar land use category. Cities may wish to retain the services of a land appraiser or some other professional to help them determine the appropriate rate for their park dedication fees. 2. Fee schedules Park dedication fees may generally be imposed only by ordinance. However, cities that collect less than $5,000 per year in land use and development fees (this includes all subdivision and zoning fees) may use a fee schedule adopted by city resolution. Prior to adoption of the resolution, the city must hold a public hearing on the fee schedule with 10 days published notice. Cities that collect over $5,000 in land use fees per year may also use a fee schedule. League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 9/1/2018 Subdivision Guide for Cities Page 29 RELEVANT LINKS: Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b (f), (g). Minn. Stat. § 462.353, subd. 4 (d). Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2c(b). Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2c(c). Minn. Stat. § 462.361. Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 4a. However, the fee schedule must be adopted in ordinance form, following a public hearing for which there has been 10 days published notice. 3. Fee accounting and disputes Park dedication fees must be placed in a special, segregated fund. Park dedication fees can only be used for the acquisition, development, and improvement of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetland, and open space based upon the city -approved park systems plan. Park dedication fees cannot be used for the city operational or maintenance costs, such as lawn mowing or garbage pick-up. a. Fee disputes Cities may not condition approval of a subdivision application upon a waiver of applicant rights to challenge city fees in a law suit. An applicant who disputes a park dedication fee, may request that the application be processed as if the fee had been paid. An applicant who disputes a fee, but still wishes to have the application processed must do all the following: • Provide written notice to the city of his or her dispute over the city's fee. • Place in escrow for the city the disputed fee amount. • File an appeal in court of the city's fee using the procedures specified in statute within 60 days of the approval/denial of the application. If an applicant does not appeal the fee by filing suit in a court of law within 60 days following approval/denial or if the applicant appeals but does not prevail in his or her request to have the fee overturned, the fee held in the escrow account must be paid to the city. VIII.Subdivision ordinance enforcement Cities have numerous strong tools to enforce the requirements of their subdivision ordinances. Some of these tools are discussed here. A. Sellers and buyers disclosure requirements Whenever a landowner seeks to convey land (through a metes and bounds description or in reference to a plat) that has not previously been filed or recorded, state law requires the seller to make certain disclosures to protect buyers from illegal subdivisions. If the newly recorded land is the result of a subdivision, the seller must attach one of the following to the instrument of conveyance: League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 9/1/2018 Subdivision Guide for Cities Page 30 Existing Trails There are no existing dedicated off-road trails in the City. Currently residents generally walk and bike on local roadways that connect to adjacent regional trails and bikeways. As some local roadways have been reconstructed, sidewalks have been installed on roadways with higher traffic volumes. Existing Regional Parks and Trails While there are no regional parks or trails within the city limits of Lauderdale, there are regional parks and trails in adjacent communities that are accessible to the City's residents. Part of the efforts of this Chapter are to identify ways in which the community's trail system could provide improved trail connections to adjacent amenities and resources so that residents have various ways to access these areas. FUTURE PARKS, TRAILS, AND OPEN SPACE SYSTEM As described in previous Chapters of this Plan, the City is fully developed leaving few 6 opportunities to acquire additional land for parks, trails and open spaces. However, the City has identified a few potential redevelopment areas as part of this Plan that, if and when developed, will provide additional opportunities to contribute to the PTOS system. The purpose of this section is to plan for how the existing system can be maintained, but also how it might be further enhanced through acquisitions at time of redevelopment, reinvestment as infrastructure improvements occur, and reimagining how existing development patterns could be used to create a more connected system. The following sections describe the plan for how each of the components of the PTOS system can be further enhanced or improved as the community evolves over the next planning period. The information that follows is not meant to be prescriptive, but rather to provide general guidance as to how the PTOS system will support the Future Land Use Plan and support a more sustainable and resilient community into the future. 5. PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 Park, Trails, and Open Space System Throughout this planning process residents of the community, and adjacent communities, reinforced the important role that the Lauderdale Community Park and Skyview Park plays in the community. While both parks play an important role and function in the community, residents offered the following feedback as the City plans for the future of the City's PTOS system: • Programming in the Lauderdale Community Park should be evaluated periodically to make sure the facilities match resident's needs. • Skyview Park could benefit by better access, and potential improvements to the existing facilities within the park. Specifically, some residents noted that the play equipment was dated, and perhaps not accessible to some local kids. • Residents noted the lack of active park space in the southern quarter of the City and noted that if redevelopment occurs on the Larpenteur Avenue corridor there may be some need for additional programmed park space as part of any redevelopment that may include housing. • Some of the open space within the community is protected and owned by the City, while other undeveloped areas such as the Breck Woods are privately owned by Luther Seminary and not protected with any type of covenant or restriction. Because of the mix in private and public ownership, it is difficult to project with certainty how much of the remaining natural lands will be protected into perpetuity. • Residents were vocal about their desire to have safe pedestrian and bikeway access. Many residents expressed that safety on the more heavily traveled roadways such as Larpenteur and Eustis (particularly south of Larpenteur) should be a priority. Other local roadways were viewed as adequate and did not require further sidewalk or other trail improvements. • Feedback from the public and Steering Committee focused on identifying a safer pedestrian/bikeway on Eustis Street south of Larpenteur Avenue. This segment of roadway is steep, and treacherous — but heavily used as a connection to regional transit. It also signals a potential barrier to some of the multi -family areas feeling connected to the neighborhoods on the north side of Larpenteur. Some people also expressed a desire to have better access to the regional trails, and most identified improvements on Larpenteur as the key to improving these connections. 5. PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 Planning for the Future of the PTOS System Based upon feedback from residents and the discussion of the Steering Committee, the existing parks and open spaces remain a top priority of the community. Moving forward, both of the existing neighborhood parks as well as the protected natural areas will continue to play an important role as a community gathering place. Though the City is not planning for, or anticipating, any significant park and natural area acquisitions there will likely be opportunities to further improve the PTOS system as redevelopment in the community occurs. Since a specific redevelopment plan is unknown at this time, it is not prudent to plan for a specific type of park or programming because the needs of the ultimate users are unknown. Instead the City simply acknowledges that additional dedicated park, open space and trail areas may be important, especially if new housing is introduced into the community. For example, the City understands that the park demands for a senior housing project may be considerably different than a market-rate housing project. As such Map 5-1 Existing and Future Park, Trail and Open Space, identifies approximate search locations that generally correlate to the redevelopment areas identified in Chapter 3: Land Use. The intent of this map is to signal to developers that parks, trails and open spaces should be a component of any redevelopment effort and that the City will work collaboratively through the development process to identify the appropriate improvement that best meets the needs of the existing community, and the future user. Resilient Infrastructure Throughout the development of this Plan, it was often expressed that existing neighborhoods and any redevelopment should consider how to incorporate sustainability and natural resources into the City's future. The community, region, state, nation and world are changing and the City has a responsibility to prepare a Plan that is forward -thinking and allows for the community to adapt quickly to those changes. Other Chapters contained in this Plan touch on this issue, but the PTOS system has the unique opportunity to consider and incorporate the environment and natural resources as a critical component to the City's resiliency long-term. 5.

PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 Green Network While the City has not adopted a formal Green Network, the principles of green infrastructure can be established without much formality. The concept of creating a Green Network is built on the idea of including recreational, natural areas, trails and open spaces into a connected network. The concept of a Green Network is taken a step further by bringing together the recreational features with elements of the natural system and ecology of the community by protecting remaining biodiversity and enhancing native ecologic performance. Examples of land uses or features within a Green Network could include, but are not limited to: • Active recreational park • Passive park/open space • Golf course Conservation easements • Utility easements • Lake and shoreland buffers • Storm pond/retention basin • Swales • Wetlands • Rain gardens Porous paving with sustainable stormwater management The Green Network essentially incorporates the City's PTOS system and builds on it by incorporating other natural or open space areas that can contribute to the community's overall sustainability and resiliency to natural events (i.e. storm events, etc.) The example land uses and features above illustrate that both public and private land is beneficial to the Green Network. It is not important for Lauderdale to necessarily maintain control over the land to establish it as a successful contribution to the Network. The key attribute of the land in the Network is that it has long-term protected status and one of the purposes of the protection is natural resource management, preservation, or natural function (such as stormwater infiltration). For example, many of the City's local streets are tree -lined providing valuable shade and infiltration benefits. Vegetated rights-of-way, whether trees, native grasses, or other plant types, can help with stormwater management and water quality thereby performing specific contributions to the Network. While the general public is not walking through the right-of-way easement areas adjoining private lots, these areas still provide important benefits to the Network. Planning for the PTOS and Green Network in Lauderdale achieves a broader long-term goal for resiliency in the community. In this context, resiliency means the ability for the City to endure growing concerns related to the effects of changing climate impacts, higher costs for 5. PARKS, TRAILS & OPEN SPACE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 public facilities and services, and accumulating environmental pollution issues. Focused land planning for the benefits of ecological health and enhancement of natural systems will increase actions like local groundwater recharge, improved water quality, habitat quality, and less reliance on automobiles. If implementation strategies are thoughtfully incorporated into the City's ordinances, it will put Lauderdale in a position to spend less time and money on clean up, rehabilitation, municipal stormwater systems, and other services that mitigate problems rather than just preventing them with good planning in the first place. Resiliency also refers to the health and wellness of residents. The PTOS and Green Network creates the opportunity to provide access to nature, views and places that reduce stress, recreational opportunities, community gathering spaces and greenery and canopies that provide shade and comfort. Connected spaces will also establish more walkability, bikability and accessibility to transit in the City. When considered collectively the PTOS System and concept of a Green Network can function as a resilient infrastructure for the City. Much like roadways function as the City's transportation infrastructure moving people from place to place, the resilient infrastructure utilizes connected green spaces to move water, wildlife, plant diversity and people in an interconnected sustainable way. Resilient infrastructure will establish best practices for the City in natural areas and water quality management providing built-in protection for the growing impacts to the environment, while offering healthy opportunities for activity and wellness to residents. Taken a step further, the City can begin to consider how these concepts and principles translate into building design and site redevelopment. While it may seem overwhelming for a fully developed community to think about how it may retrofit areas to support a Green Network, small steps have the potential to create large impacts. This Plan lays the ground work and establishes it as a principle. It will be a slow evolution to create a Network, but it is achievable if it is established as a priority and if it is at the forefront of any redevelopment effort. 5.

It is the largest park in Lauderdale at approximately 7.3 acres. There are several amenities in Community Park including playground equipment, tennis courts, basketball courts, turf fields, a ballfield, fenced - in dog park, skating rink with dasher boards, an open-air picnic shelter, and an enclosed restroom/warming house building. Two on-site parking lots serve these facilities. There are no enclosed storage areas within Community Park. The current restroom/warming house building is located off Fulham Street adjacent to a small bituminous parking lot. It functions as a warming house for skating rink users, as well as a restroom facility for park users. The building is aging and in need of improvements. Proposed Improvements The City wishes to improve the restroom and warming house facilities, as well as add an enclosed building for maintenance and storage for its Public Works equipment. Proposed improvements include removing the existing restroom/warming house and constructing two new buildings: a park shelter building and a storage/maintenance building. The park shelter building would be approximately 40' x 24' in size, with an optional attached 20' x 24' open-air picnic area. The building would include a warming/gathering room that is approximately 400 square feet in size. This room would have a sink and could be reserved for small gatherings. The restrooms would be accessible from the interior of the building. A small mechanical room is also included. The storage/maintenance building would be approximately 30' x 24' and include two overhead garage doors, a man door, 4' concrete apron, trench drains and a flammable waste trap. The building would serve as a storage area for public works equipment, including trucks, mowers, and other mobile equipment. Associated improvements include replacing the existing sanitary sewer service as it is shallow and susceptible to damage, and replacing a portion of the existing bituminous parking lot. Figure 2 shows the general nature of the proposed improvements to Community Park. See Appendix B for preliminary building elevations and floor plans.

It is approximately 0.2 acres in size and consists of an existing playground container with equipment, which is aging and in need of repair. There is a small access path off the corner of lone Street and Walnut Street. The park is immediately adjacent to an existing home at 1738 Walnut Street. Proposed Improvements The City wishes to improve Skyview Park by installing new playground equipment and expanding the size of the park. Proposed improvements include purchasing the property at 1738 Walnut Street, removing the existing house and garage, and replacing the existing playground container and equipment. The proposed playground container would be approximately 58' x 70' in size and include playground equipment and swings to accommodate a variety of users. A new 8' wide path would be constructed from the road to the container to provide access. The City has received sketches for the proposed playground equipment, as well as a cost estimate. These costs are included in this CIP. Figure 3 shows the general nature of the proposed Improvement to Skyview Park. See Appendix C for the proposed playground sketches.

It is located in the southeast corner of the City and is currently accessible from Hoyt Avenue to the south. The Seminary is currently working with developers to develop a portion of the lot with residential units. The northerly portion of the lot is generally wooded and likely undevelopable. The City does not currently own any portion of this lot. Proposed Improvements The City of Lauderdale has expressed an interest in providing some open space and trails over a portion of this undevelopable area. The proposed improvements are very preliminary in nature due to the fact that a proposed development has not been approved. The proposed improvements include approximately 1800 linear feet of eight -foot wide bituminous trail. Associated improvements include site grading and restoration to accommodate the trial installation. The proposed location of these trails is unknown. See Figure 4 for the location of this site.

The roadway grade is steep, and there are only small segments of this corridor that contain sidewalk to accommodate pedestrians and other non -vehicular users. Eustis Street and Larpenteur Avenue are both Metro Transit bus routes, and there are bus stops at both the north and south ends of the site along Eustis Street. Proposed Improvements The City of Lauderdale has expressed an interest in improving pedestrian access along Eustis Street between Larpenteur Avenue and Idaho Street. In the event that the properties that are identified in this site are redeveloped in the future, and that jurisdiction of Eustis Street is transferred to Lauderdale, the city would like to see these pedestrian improvements incorporated into the redevelopment as a dedicated pedestrian walkway either within the right of way or adjacent properties that is accessible to the public.

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: The Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) was sent to neighboring jurisdictions for review on June 12, 2018. That six-month period ended on December 12, 2018. The Metropolitan Council (MC) did a preliminary review of our plan during this time to make sure we were on the same page with them and to expedite the adoption process. At the last meeting, the Council took comments from the public which are reflected in the minutes and new language was added to the Land Use chapter pages 20-21 regarding the Seminary site. The new language is underlined. The Surface Water Management chapter was also amended as the MC now asks that the entire LSWMP be included as part of the Comp Plan. A summary still exists as Chapter 7 and the entire LSWMP will be Appendix B. The city engineer addressed the MC's questions regarding our inflow and infiltration program in Chapter 8. To be environmentally friendly, staff did not reprint the entire Comp Plan for the meeting. We included only those portions that were amended. The full docu- ment is available at: http://www.lauderdaleplan2040.com/documents/. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt Resolution 012219B A Resolution Authorizing the Submittal of Lauder- dale's 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update to the Metropolitan Council for Review. RESOLUTION NO. 012219B CITY OF LAUDERDALE COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUMBITTAL OF LAUDERDALE'S 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FOR REVIEW WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires each local governmental unit to review and, if necessary, amend its comprehensive plan at least once every ten years to ensure its comprehensive plan conforms to metropolitan system plans; and WHEREAS, the City Council, Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, City staff, and community members have prepared a proposed Comprehensive Plan update in accordance with the requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act and Metropolitan Council guidelines and procedures; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 473.858 requires a local governmental unit to submit its proposed comprehensive plan to the Metropolitan Council after consideration by but before final approval by the governing body of the local governmental unit; and NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, based on its review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan, the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, City staff, and the entire public record, the Lauderdale City Council authorizes the submittal of Lauderdale's 2040 Comprehensive Plan update to the Metropolitan Council for review. ADOPTED by the City Council of Lauderdale this 22nd day of January, 2019. Mary Gaasch, Mayor ATTEST: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator Breck Woods Site The Breck Woods Site is an undeveloped piece of property that is located south of the existing high-density residential apartments that border the Larpenteur Avenue corridor, and east of the Greenway Village apartments on Eustis Street (See Map 3-5). The parcel is approximately 7 acres, and includes a stormwater pond, some wetland areas, significant sloping topography and old woodlands. Although the site is now vacant, it was subdivided in the Last five years when the Luther Seminary sold the portion of the parcel with their student housing to a private developer (Greenway Village Apartments), and retained the vacant parcel separately. Through outreach efforts of this planning process to key landowners and stakeholders, the owners of the property revealed that they would sell vacant parcel for potential development, and that such plan was likely to occur within this planning period. As a result, this piece of land that has always been thought of as a conservation or natural area in the community may be sold to a private developer that will likely expect to develop the site with a reasonable use. Again, given the market framework of this Plan, the City began exploring and evaluating the types of uses that would likely be most suitable on the site. In addition to that process, the City began considering what characteristics and elements of the site would be 20 the most important to protect as part of any future development. Map 3-5. Breck Woods Site Planned Redevelopment 2040 Land Use Designations HDR -C LDR 3. LAND USE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 Source: Metropolitan Council, MNGEO, City of Lauderdale, SHC Since the property is undeveloped, the City created a new land use designation for this property because it is so different than any other property in the community. The new land use category includes the recognition that a portion of the property contains important surface water features, woodlands and topography that must considered, and in some areas protected, as part of any development. If new development occurs, it should be clustered to protect as much of the natural resource value as reasonable, and public access to the open spaces should be provided. Once the natural resource areas are identified, the remaining buildable areas may be developed with densities between 10 and 30 dwelling units per acre consistent with the City's high-density residential land use designation. To further illustrate the City's conceptual plan for the property Map 3-6 is provided. This concept is not the overall guiding land use, but it provides a framework of how a potential developer may consider development while protecting important natural resources. It should be noted that this land use designation does not require development of the parcel to occur, and the City is open to alternative solutions proposed by the land owner, developer or community stakeholders that may protect the parcel in its entirety. However, it was imperative that through this process the City be proactive to find a solution that would protect at least some of the natural areas into perpetuity, while allowing the reasonable development of some of the property. To implement the new land use designation the City will update, or if necessary, create a new zoning district that identifies an appropriate process to consider the natural resources while allowing development on the parcel. Further description can be found in the Implementation Chapter of this Plan. Map 3-6. Breck Woods Site Concept Plan -Cr[dra? Easement Area/ 'to I — N ural Resou� e=tir.

LAND USE City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 21 Chapter 7: Surface Water Management Protect, Preserve & Conserve Comprehensive Plan 2040 7. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Chapter and of the 2018 Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan (2018 LSWMP) is to guide the City of Lauderdale in conserving, protecting, and maintaining the quality of its surface waters, ground water, and natural resources. The City recognizes that the responsibility of water resource management is in the hands of numerous agencies and organizations each tasked with monitoring and planning for water resource management and environmental protection. Plans are created to meet the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103B (Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act), Minnesota Rule 8410, and standards and requirements of the three watershed management organizations with jurisdiction within the City of Lauderdale: the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD), and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The 2018 LSWMP and this Chapter may be periodically amended to remain current with local practices and policies. To fulfill the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's Thrive MSP 2040 checklist, the full LSWMP is appended to this Plan, and this chapter serves as an Executive Summary. 2040 Surface Water Highlights — What's to Come The City will continue to adopt, and incorporate by reference, the rules and regulations of the watershed management organizations having jurisdiction of Lauderdale's surface water. 7. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANO MENT PLAN (2018 LSWM►P) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Local Surface Water Management Plan (2018 LSWMP) for the City of Lauderdale was updated and adopted in 2018 and serves as a comprehensive planning document to guide the City in conserving, protecting, and managing its surface water resources. The 2018 LSWMP provides an inventory of water resource related information including the results of assessments conducted by other local and state governmental agencies. From this inventory and assessment, Lauderdale sets forth its goals and policies and implementation program. Goals, policies, and implementation all support the guidance and requirements of other regulatory agencies with water management jurisdiction in Lauderdale. The City has structured its 2018 LSWMP to provide the information required by Minnesota Rule 8410 and addresses requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program designed to reduce the sediment and pollution that enters groundwater and surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. The MS4 program is regulated through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 2 permits. These NPDES permits require the development of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The 2018 LSWMP also satisfies the Metropolitan Council requirements for their 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan, which build on those of Minnesota Rule 8410. Finally, the 2018 LSWMP is also consistent with the goals and policies of the local watershed management organizations with jurisdiction within the City, which may go beyond the specific requirements of Statutes and Rules. Specific details for surface water management can be found in the 2018 LSWMP contained in Appendix B. 441CITYu7jet 7. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 2018 LSWMP RELATED AGREEMENTS Existing agreements between the City of Lauderdale and other agencies include the following as discussed in Section 5 of the 2018 LSWMP: Conveyance Multiple inter -agency stormwater conveyance agreements have been made by the City. In March of 1954, Lauderdale entered into an agreement with Roseville and the Minnesota Highway Department authorizing the discharge of stormwater through the Highway 280 system (Minnesota Highway Department Agreement No. C-1245). In March of 1973, the City entered into an agreement with Roseville to share the cost of operating improvement 72-15, consisting of an additional gravity outlet and pump station in Walsh Lake. Copies of these conveyance agreements are included in the 2018 LSWMP, Appendix B for reference. Watershed Management The Joint and Cooperative Agreement for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization was executed by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the cities of Minneapolis, Saint Paul, St. Anthony and Lauderdale in January 2002. This agreement established the authority and responsibilities of the MWMO Board. A copy of the agreement is included in the 2018 LSWMP, Appendix B for reference. 2018 LSWMP AMENDMENT PROCEDURES Amendment procedures from Section 9 of the 2018 LSWMP include: Review and Adoption Process Review and adoption of this 2018 LSWMP will follow the procedure outlined in Minnesota Statute 103B.235: After consideration but before adoption by the governing body, each local government unit shall submit its water management plan to the watershed management organization[sl for review for consistency with the watershed plan. The organization[s] shall have 60 days to complete its review. ' 7. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 "Concurrently with its submission of its local water management plan to the watershed management organization, each local government unit shall submit its water management plan to the Metropolitan Council for review and comment. The council shall have 45 days to review and comment upon the local plan. The council's 45 -day review period shall run concurrently with the 60 -day review period by the watershed management organization. The Metropolitan Council shall submit its comments to the watershed management organization and shall send a copy of its comments to the local government unit." After approval of the local plan by the watershed management organization[s], the local government unit shall adopt and implement its plan within 120 days and shall amend its official controls accordingly within 180 clays." Amendments to Plan and Future Updates The 2018 LSWMP will be incorporated into the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan update and will be applicable until 2028, at which time an updated plan will be required. This timeline marks a change from previous updates; previously, Local Surface Water Management 4 Plan updates were done when the water districts or water management organizations updated their Watershed Management Plans. Periodic amendments may be required to incorporate changes in local practices. In particular, changes to the three applicable Watershed Management Plans may require revisions to this Plan. Plan amendments will be incorporated by following the review and adoption steps outlined above. ude 7.

WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEM City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 INTRODUCTION This chapter of the City of Lauderdale's 2040 Comprehensive Plan addresses water supply and wastewater (sanitary sewer) systems in the City. It is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's Thrive MSP 2040 planning and 2040 rater Resources Policy Plan. This Plan chapter is primarily intended to assist the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) with continued operation of the Metropolitan Disposal System (i\1DS) for wastewater collection and treatment. 2040 Water Supply & Sanitary Highlights — What's to Come The St. Paul Regional Water Service supplies the City with clean water. Sanitary Sewer services in the City are part of the regional system. Capacity is adequate for existing and forecasted projections through 2040. 8. WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEMS City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 WATER SUPPLY PLAN Since the late 1990s, St. Paul Regional Water Service (SPRWS) has owned and maintained the water supply utilities in the City of Lauderdale. As the City does not manage its own water supply, a local water supply plan is not required as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. More information about the local water supply plan for the St. Paul Regional Water Service can be found online at www.stpaul.gov/departments/saint-paul-regional-water-services. Water Sources and Conservation This source water comes from the Mississippi River and the surrounding watershed. SPRWS also maintains a series of groundwater wells pumping from the Prairie du Chien -Jordan aquifer as a backup supply system. intake station in Fridley, which is located roughly 25 miles northwest of the utility's water treatment plant There are currently no private water supplies within the City, and protection of water supply sources for Lauderdale falls outside of local jurisdictional limits. Likely the best way residents and businesses within Lauderdale can contribute to conservation and protection of the local 4 water supply is by encouraging local groundwater recharge. Adding opportunities for water runoff to infiltrate on or near local properties will reduce pollution and contamination and contribute to a more sustainable water supply for the region. Additionally, residents and businesses can work to conserve the water supply used by reducing water use. Implementing ideas like rain barrels, reduced lawn, and grey -water reuse all contribute to using less water from the municipal water supply. The City will continue to encourage water conservation by promoting education and conservation programs for residents. Special Well and Boring Construction Area The City of Lauderdale is within the MDH-designated Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Special Well and Boring Construction Area (SWBCA) which went into effect July 1, 1996 and was most recently updated in April 2016. Groundwater in portions of the designated area has been contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from solvents used and disposed at TCAAP in Arden Hills. The designation requires that construction, repair, and sealing of regulated wells and borings within the SWBCA only take place in accordance with the conditions and requirements set forth by the MDH. Efforts to contain and clean up the contamination at the TCAAP facility and to the south of TCAAP have been underway for many years through contaminated groundwater treatment 8. WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEM City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 and removal of water -supply wells known to be contaminated. Additional concern centers around construction of new wells or borings—or modification of existing wells or borings— within the SWBCA that may interfere with cleanup efforts and/or cause further spread of the contamination. It is therefore important for the City of Lauderdale to implement and enforce the requirements of the SWBCA with respect to existing and proposed water supply wells in the area. Of particular significance to Lauderdale, any construction -related and environmental borings are required to follow these regulations. System Maintenance Many of the City's water lines were replaced during road reconstruction projects in the early 2000s. There are currently no plans by SPRWS to replace water mains in Lauderdale. However, the City is currently discussing the possibility of taking back a portion of Eustis Street, and if that were to occur, SPRWS will update the watermains in coordination with proposed road reconstruction project. WASTEWATER (SANITARY) SEWER SYSTEM System Capacity Description Lauderdale's sewers were originally constructed in the 1950s, and the City completed a group of major reconstruction projects in 2003 to replace and update the streets, sewers, and waterlines. Since the adoption of the 2030 Plan in 2010 the City has been using cured in place pipe (CIPP) to rehabilitate and repair the existing sewer lines that were not updated during the 2000-2003 major street reconstruction projects. The City of Lauderdale is served by regional sanitary sewer service. Lauderdale's sanitary sewer system is shown on Map 8-1. The system is divided into five sanitary sewer district defined by points of discharge to sewer trunk lines. Districts 1 and 2 flow to MCES Meter M103, located near 33rd Avenue Southeast and Talmadge Avenue in Minneapolis. Meter M103 and Lauderdale Districts 3 and 4 all flow to MCES Interceptor 1 -MN- 301 near 33rd Avenue Southeast and Como Avenue in Minneapolis. District 5 flows to St. Paul's sewer system at the intersection of Fulham Street and Hoyt Avenue. Lauderdale does not have a wastewater treatment facility. Wastewater is collected in the City sewer system and discharged to the systems described above; which convey wastewater to the MCES treatment plant at Pig's Eye Lake in St. Paul. MCES charges Lauderdale for treatment of this wastewater. Districts 3, 4, and 5 are periodically metered by the MCES. 8.

WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEM City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 System Features Lauderdale's sanitary sewer system is composed of approximately 6.7 miles of sewer lines and 156 manholes. There are no lift stations in the system. Most of the sanitary sewers in Lauderdale were replaced between 2000 and 2003, and those not replaced have been lined since 2010. The City redirected flows in District 1 to the north and constructed a trunk line parallel to Highway 280 to carry this flow south. These improvements allowed Lauderdale to abandon four aging lift stations. There are no on-site septic systems or large sewer users (flow exceeding 0.05 MGD) located within the City. Undeveloped parcels in Lauderdale can be adequately served using existing facilities, so there are no system extensions or new MDS connection points planned. Future improvements will focus on maintenance of the existing system. Projected Population and Wastewater Flows Table 8-1 lists the population, households and employment as estimated by the City of Lauderdale in Chapter 3 of this Plan, and identifies and wastewater flow projections issued by the Metropolitan Council in the City of Lauderdale's 2015 System Statement. -1 Lauderdale Wastewater Flow Projections Source: Metropolitan Council (Peak Flow Factor = 3.9), City of Lauderdale, SH System Flows and Capacity System flows have been estimated for current (2018) conditions as well as 2040 projected land use conditions. The average wastewater flow from each sanitary sewer district has been estimated by applying unit flow rates to each land use category. These estimates are summarized in Tables 8-2 and 8-3. The sanitary sewer system must be capable of handling the anticipated peak flows, estimated by applying a peak flow factor to the average flow. The peak flow factor accounts for flow variability and includes an allowance for infiltration and inflow. 8.

Inflow and Infiltration Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) can come from several sources contributing non -sanitary flow into the sanitary sewer system. Example sources include surface runoff from roofs and manholes drainage from draintile and sump pumps, and leaks from failing sanitary infrastructure. The Metropolitan Council establishes I/I goals in the 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan for all communities discharging wastewater to the Metropolitan Disposal System (MDS). Communities identified to have excessive I/I in their sanitary sewer systems are required to reduce and eliminate the excess. Lauderdale has previously been identified as a community with excess I/I. Lauderdale's 1/1 Reduction Efforts In January 2007, the City of Lauderdale initiated a multifaceted Inflow and Infiltration 8. WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEM City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 reduction program. Initially, the City smoke tested the City and identified a significant source of inflow and infiltration at an industrial business. This issue was corrected and the City was exempted from the I/I program until another exceedance occurred. After MCES changed its metering thresholds, the City had exceedances that became the impetus for on-going efforts to address I/I. Some of the easiest fixes included closing sewer pick holes and rehabilitating leaky manholes. In 2013, two rain events in June resulted in $105,820 in exceedance notices associated with I/I surcharge amounts. The City's sanitary sewer lining project in 2013 and 2014 along with other smaller eligible projects was used to fully mitigate this surcharge. In 2014 an exceedance in June totaled $199,200, or $49,800 over four years. The City was able to apply some unused eligible 2014 mitigation costs to reduce the 2015 planned spending to $32,500. In 2015 a $29,000 sanitary sewer flow monitoring was conducted by Stantec to help determine the source of I/I. Based on the flow monitoring study an industrial business was identified in the southern portion of the City as contributing to excessive I/I. The City worked closely with the industrial business to redirect its stormwater runoff from the building to surface water and storm sewer features eliminating the conveyance of the building's runoff into the sanitary sewer system. The "replumbing" of their building was completed in 2016 to accomplish this effort and was funded privately by the contributing business. Although costs to remediate the I/I for this project were funded privately by the business, it is estimated the work to eliminate I/I for this property exceeded $100,000. Since this project was completed in 2016, the City has not received an exceedance notice for surcharge from MCES. The City has also been able to line a majority of the existing clay sanitary sewer pipes that were not replaced as part of previous roadway projects with grant assistance from the Metropolitan Council. In 2018, the City lined several of these clay pipe segments north of Larpenteur Avenue. With this project complete, the City will likely have only one section of pipe remaining to finish the replacement or lining of the entire sanitary sewer system. The City was provided sanitary sewer forecasts by metered areas from the Metropolitan Council. Based on the forecasts provided, the City produces roughly 0.2269 MGD, which compares to the calculated estimates 0.2353 MGD. This estimate equates to -91 to -94 gallons per person a day (gppd) of generated flows, based on a population of 2,490 (source: MCES). According to the EPA's guide for estimating infiltration and inflow if a city produces less than 120 gppd, it may not be considered excessive inflow and infiltration. Based on the MCES metered forecasts for average daily flows, the calculated average daily flows for the City, and the EPA's guidance for estimating infiltration and inflow, the City does not currently see inflow and infiltration within their system being an issue after identifying and remediating the issues previously stated. The City plans to continue to implement their strategies for detecting I/I when necessary. 8. WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEMS City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 12 Goals for I/I Management Lauderdale will continue its efforts to eliminate excess I/I with the following goals for system management: Replace sewer linings Repair cracks and joints in public system Monitor sump pump drainage Educate property owners about reducing I/I Implement residential monitoring program for private sewer line maintenance Lauderdale will also work cooperatively with other agencies and property owners to educate residents and businesses about the importance of reducing I/I and promote ongoing maintenance of infrastructure on private property. It is particularly important to inspect and repair damaged sewer service lines connected to the MDS, and replace older clay pipes that are beyond their useful life. 1/1 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Since the City has addressed their excessive I/I issue, it does not have a priority area of focus for I/I reduction. The City does have implementation activities and schedules to help prevent and ensure I/I from the system is not excessive including looking for sump pumps draining to the sanitary sewer system as part of the City's building permit and rental housing inspections programs. In addition to these activities, the City will: • Complete the remaining project that will finish lining or replacing the entire City's sanitary sewer system. • Timing to be determined as funding becomes available • Continue to repair and rehabilitate trunk sanitary sewer and manholes • As needed when street reconstructions occur • Consider programs to reduce I/I contributions from private property and pursue grant funding from the MCES (if available and applicable) / 8. WATER SUPPLY & SANITARY SYSTEM Uue�l City of Lauderdale Comprehensive Plan 2040 • Timing to be determined • Monitor MCES metering and work with the MCES to identify and reduce regional I/I contributions to the system • On an ongoing basis 1/1 Cost Estimates the City has not received an exceedance notice for surcharge from MCES since 2016, when site corrections were made to the private business in the southern portion of the City. The City will continue to fund its implementation program by a combination of sewer fees and the City's capital fund. Policies and Regulations Lauderdale regulates against inflow and infiltration to the sanitary system from surface water sources. City Ordinance 8-2-2-9: Discharge of Surface Water Prohibited states "Except as otherwise expressly authorized in this subdivision, no water from any roof, surface, sump pump, footing tile or drains, swimming pool, any other natural precipitation or groundwater, cooling water, or industrial process shall be discharged into the sanitary sewer system. Dwellings and other buildings and structures which require, because of the infiltration of water into basements, crawl spaces and the like, a sump pump discharge system shall have a permanently installed discharge line which shall not at any time discharge water into the sanitary sewer system." The ordinance also requires disconnection of any "roof, surface, sump pump, footing tile or drains, swimming pool, cooling water or unpolluted industrial process water now connected and/or discharging into the sanitary sewer system shall disconnect or remove the same." The City will continue to monitor compliance with this ordinance through its permitting processes. 8.

This plan has been created to meet the requirements detailed in Minnesota Statutes 103B (Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act), Minnesota Rules 8410, and the requirements of the local watershed management organizations. This document provides an inventory of water resource related information including the results of assessments conducted by other governmental units, both local and state. From this inventory and assessment, Lauderdale sets forth its goals and policies and implementation program. The plan is organized as follows: • Section 1 offers an introduction to and purpose of this Plan, and includes organizational information on the location of components within this document. • Section 2 of this Plan provides an inventory of land and water resources within the City, including a description of the physical setting, available and pertinent water resources data, and land use maps. • Section 3 documents the regulatory agencies and their role in the City's surface water management. • Section 4 describes past studies and plans related to surface water management in Lauderdale. • Section 5 identifies the stormwater management agreements between Lauderdale and other entities. • Section 6 provides a current assessment of surface water management in Lauderdale, including hydrologic modeling, the NPDES permitting process, and a regulatory standards comparison. This section also includes the identification of issues and corrective actions, including flooding and stormwater rate control problems. • Section 7 lists the goals and policies identified to address surface water management needs in the City, relating to land development and resource management. • Section 8 summarizes capital projects currently planned with known funding sources to implement the goals and policies listed in Section 6, as well as potential activities and funding mechanisms. • Section 9 outlines the continued administration of this plan with respect to plan updates and amendments. The appendices provide additional detail: • AppendixA provides technical detail for the City's stormwater infrastructure. • Appendix B includes texts of the water resources agreements in which the City engages. • Appendix C provides wetland inventory data from Capitol Region Watershed District. • Appendix D provides watershed district standards from the three districts having jurisdiction within the City. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Pagel City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan This page intentionally left blank Stantec Project No: 193803904 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 1— Purpose and Scope 1.1 PURPOSE This Local Surface Water Management Plan will serve as a comprehensive planning document to guide the City of Lauderdale in conserving, protecting, and managing its surface water resources. This plan has been created to meet the requirements detailed in Minnesota Statutes 103B and Minnesota Rules 8410, administered by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. This plan is also consistent with the goals and policies of the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan, and the three watershed management organizations having jurisdiction within the City: the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD), and the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). This plan may be periodically amended to remain current with local practices and policies. 1.2 SCOPE This Plan serves multiple purposes including statutory and rule compliance. Minnesota Statute 1038.235 defines content for Local Surface Water Management Plans. According to the statute's text, each local plan, in degree of detail required in the watershed plan, shall: (1) describe existing and proposed physical environment and land use; (2) define drainage areas and the volumes, rates, and paths of stormwater runoff; (3) identify areas and elevations for stormwater storage adequate to meet performance standards established in the watershed plan; (4) define water quality and quality protection methods adequate to meet performance standards established in the watershed plan; (5) identify regulated areas; and, (6) set forth an implementation program, including a description of official controls and, as appropriate, a capital improvement program. Minnesota Rules 8410, administered by the Board of Water and Soil Resources, provide more detail on local plan content. Though the BWSR guidance applies specifically to watershed management organizations, this guidance has historically been used to frame expectations for municipal plans. According to Rules 8410, local plans must provide or address: (1) Executive summary (2) Land and water resource inventory (3) Impact on other units of government (4) Establishment of goals and policies (5) Assessment of problems (6) Implementation program (7) Implementation priorities (8) Plan contents; amendments (9) Annual reporting requirements City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 1 The reader will find that Lauderdale has structured its LSWMP to provide the information required by 8410 without holding strictly to the outline contained in the rules. Through this document, the City provides signposts identifying where a statutory or rulemaking requirement might be addressed. The Lauderdale LSWMP must address requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. This program is designed to reduce the sediment and pollution that enters groundwater and surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. The MS4 program is regulated through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. These NPDES permits require the development of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Programs (SWPPP). The Lauderdale LSWMP must also satisfy Metropolitan Council requirements as contained in their 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan. These requirements build on those of Minnesota Rules 8410. Beyond state level requirements and those of Metropolitan Council, this plan must be consistent with those of the watershed organizations having jurisdiction in the City. Often, watershed districts outline specific content for local plans that go beyond that required by statute and rule. This plan is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the physical setting; the history, natural resources and land uses within the City. Sections 3 through 5 describe the regulatory agencies having jurisdiction in Lauderdale, and past studies and agreements related to surface water resources. Section 6 summarizes the inventories, assessments, and modeling completed for this plan, and provides a current assessment of surface water management in Lauderdale. Section 7 lists the goals and policies identified to address surface water management needs in the City. Section 8 summarizes current ordinances and capital projects planned to implement the goals and policies listed in Section 7. Section 9 outlines the continued administration of this plan. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 2 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 2 — Land and Water Resources Inventory 2.1 LOCATION AND HISTORY The City of Lauderdale is a fully developed city located in Ramsey County, with a residential population around 2,400, and a total land area of 270 acres. Bordering communities include Minneapolis, St. Paul, Falcon Heights, and Roseville, as shown in Figure 2.1. Its proximity to Minneapolis, St. Paul and the University of Minnesota campuses makes Lauderdale a convenient residential location. Residents and businesses have easy access to State Highway 280, Interstate 35W and Interstate 94. Location and access will continue to keep Lauderdale's business and residential population stable. Population projections are shown in Table 2.1. TABLE 2.1 — LAUDERDALE POPULATION 2010 2,379 1,130 2020 2,490 1,200 2030 2,500 1,200 2040 2,520 1,200 Source: Metropolitan Council 2040 Water Resources Policy Plan Measuring slightly less than one-half square mile in area, Lauderdale has retained its independent character, despite its proximity to larger cities. Most of the City's infrastructure was developed in the 1950s. The City completed a group of major reconstruction projects in 2003, to replace and update most of the streets, sewers and waterlines. Stormwater management practices were used to create drainage capabilities throughout the residential portion of the city, thereby integrating these areas into surrounding established systems. 2.2 TOPOGRAPHY Lauderdale's topography is highest in the center of the city. Approximately 100 acres of Falcon Heights drains into Lauderdale via two ravines. Runoff within the City drains to one of three areas, either to Walsh Lake in the northeast corner, or via two storm sewer outlets in the south end of the City. The City is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of three watersheds: The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), and the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD). See Figure 2.2 for watershed boundaries. Rice Creek watershed receives stormwater from Lauderdale only when a pump on the north end of Walsh Lake is operating. When the pump is not running, runoff from the northern part of Lauderdale flows west to the Highway 280 drainage system, which flows south to the southwest corner of the City and the Bridal Veil tunnel system in the City of Minneapolis.

This system flows south, before discharging into the Mississippi River. This portion of Lauderdale is located within the CRWD. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 5 2.3 SOILS AND GEOLOGY The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) published the Soil Survey of Washington and Ramsey Counties, Minnesota in 1980. The Soil Survey provides mapping and physical properties for soil types found in the area. The Soil Survey was added to the digital Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database in 2005. The Soil Survey assigns each soil type to a hydrologic soil group, according to the soil's ability to infiltrate water during long -duration storms. The four hydrologic soil groups are: Group A - high infiltration, Group B - moderate infiltration, Group C - slow infiltration, and Group D - very slow infiltration. Most of the soil types in Lauderdale are classified in Hydrologic Soil Group B. This group is characterized by moderately well to well - drained soils, fine to moderately coarse textures, and moderate infiltration rates. The geology of Ramsey County is dominated by unconsolidated glacial sediments, including outwash and till ranging in thickness from five to four hundred feet. These sediments were deposited during the Quaternary geologic period, and are underlain by Paleozoic bedrock. The bedrock units that underlie the City include Decorah Shale, Platteville -Glenwood Formation, St. Peter Sandstone, Prairie du Chien Group, and Jordan Sandstone. 2.4 GROUNDWATER Lauderdale's drinking water is supplied by St. Paul Regional Water Services. Most of this water is obtained from the Mississippi River, while a small percentage is obtained from deep groundwater wells. The Ramsey Conservation District leads efforts to protect this groundwater supply, by monitoring groundwater elevations and maintaining an inventory of contamination sites. Because drinking water in the City of Lauderdale is provided by St. Paul Regional Water Services, the city has not prepared a Wellhead Protection Plan. 2.5 CLIMATE Climate data for the Twin Cities are published by the National Weather Service (NWS) station at Chanhassen, MN. The NWS is a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Table 2.2 provides a summary of average precipitation data for the Twin Cities area. TABLE 2.2 — AVERAGE MONTHLY PRECIPITATION, 1971-2016 Rainfall frequency estimates are used as design tools in water resource projects. Rainfall frequencies are summarized in the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Atlas 14 -Point Precipitation Frequency Estimates. Previously, Technical Paper No. 40, Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States (NOAA), was used to determine rainfall frequency estimates. The use of Atlas 14 estimates provides an advantage to Technical Paper No. 40, as estimates are based on data from denser networks with longer periods of record, and regional frequency analyses and new spatial interpolation techniques are used. Table 2.3 lists rainfall frequencies applicable to the City of Lauderdale.

The NWI Cowardin system lists Walsh Lake as PABG. This is an aquatic system defined as a palustrine waterbody with an aquatic bed that is intermittently exposed. Walsh Lake is considered a Type 4 wetland by FWS Circular 39. Type 4 or PABG wetlands are deep marshes, where the soil is usually covered with water during the spring and summer seasons. Vegetation includes cattails, reeds, bulrushes, spikerushes, and wild rice. Pondweed, naiads, coontail, watermilfoils, waterweeds, duckweeds, or spatterdocks may grow in open areas of the wetland. Walsh Lake supports stands of cattail and a dense layer of duckweed. This basin is identified on the PWI as 214W. This identification does not reveal the nature of the system but is used for record keeping. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has regulatory jurisdiction over the lakes, wetlands, and watercourses defined as public waters within the State. Walsh Lake was identified in the RCWD Southwest Urban Lake Study (2009) report as a lake that had insufficient water quality monitoring data. The RCWD report recommended that Walsh Lake be added to the RCWD monitoring program. Recommendations for in -lake data collection include bathymetric data collection, water quality collection to obtain total phosphorus and chlorophyll data, and macrophyte/aquatic invertebrate data. The City will continue to coordinate with the RCWD to improve water quality in Walsh Lake as a Management Action Plan (MAP) has been created for the Lake as part of the RCWD's 2009 Southwest (SW) Urban Lakes Study. 2.6.2 SEMINARY POND Seminary Pond is located in the southeast corner of the City. The western portion of this pond (0.79 acres) is listed on the NWI, Cowardin system as PEM1C, while the eastern portion of this pond (0.94 acres) is listed as PF01C. The designation of PEM1C indicates that this is a seasonally -flooded palustrine system supporting persistent emergent vegetation. FWS Circular 39 characterizes the western portion of the pond as a Type 3 wetland. A Type 3 or PEM1 C wetland is characterized by saturated soil that is often covered with only a few inches of water. Common vegetation for these systems includes cattail, pickerelweed, sedges, rushes, arrowhead, and smartweed. However, this particular wetland does not support any of these species. The eastern portion of the pond, designated as PF01 C, is a seasonally -flooded, palustrine system, that is characterized with broad-leaved deciduous vegetation (i.e. trees or shrubs, with relatively wide, flat leaves), such as black ash. FWS Circular 39 characterizes the eastern portion of the pond as a Type 7 wetland, where typical trees are tamarack, white cedar, red maple, and black ash. The dominant species in Seminary Pond is reed canary grass, and purple loosestrife is common. Both plants are invasive species that will choke out native species. To allow native plants the chance to reclaim the site, management strategies such as a controlled burn, herbicide treatment, or mowing the area would help suppress these invasive species. In 2017, Barr Engineering submitted a wetland delineation report to the City and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for Seminary Pond. This report details the CRWD's plans to improve water quality and flood control performance of the existing storm pond, by excavating the pond to deepen it, and create a permanent pool of water. In addition, an iron -enhanced filtration bench around the edge of the proposed wet pond would be added; the purpose of this bench would be two -fold; its first function would be to remove City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 8 dissolved phosphorus, and the second to increase the height of the berm, thereby reducing the chance of flooding. This study indicates that no wetland functions would decrease as a function of this project. For more information, this technical memorandum can be requested from the CRWD. 2.6.3 GASPERRE POND Gasperre Pond is located in the southeast corner of the City. In the previous 2008 Lauderdale Water Plan, this pond was not listed as a delineated wetland under this section, but it has recently been added to NWI and PWI lists. The pond is classified as PUBG, which is an intermittently exposed, palustrine ecosystem with an unconsolidated bottom. It supports hydrophytic vegetation (vegetation adopted for wetland conditions). 2.6.4 IMPAIRED WATERS None of the water bodies within Lauderdale are listed on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's list of impaired waters; lakes and streams in the state that do not meet federal water quality standards. However, drainage from Lauderdale ultimately discharges into multiple impaired water bodies: Pike Lake, South Long Lake, North Long Lake, Rice Creek, and the Mississippi River. Table 2.4 includes information about these impaired waters and Section 3.7 includes discussion on impaired waters and the TMDL process.

There are undeveloped areas that have natural resource significance. The first is Community Park located south of Roselawn Avenue, west of Fulham Street. The second is the Lauderdale Nature Area, located south of Larpenteur Avenue along the east city boundary. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota County Biological Survey did not have on record any rare, threatened or endangered species within the City. 2.7.1 COMMUNITY PARK Community Park contains areas being used for passive and active recreational activities. The park contains a diverse population of Minnesota trees. Much like the state of Minnesota, this park contains evergreens on the north portion and leaved deciduous trees in the south portion. The mature trees provide nesting and food sources for many bird species. The coniferous trees found in the north portion are approximately 70 years of age and were most likely planted. Native species represented in this stand include, white spruce, white pine and the Minnesota state tree the red or Norway pine. Scotch pine, a popular non-native evergreen, is also located within the stand. The dominant tree in the stand is the red pine. The understory of the dense coniferous stand is comprised of a sparse cover of dandelion, wood sorel, creeping charlie, Kentucky blue -grass and plantain. The sparseness of understory coverage is typical of a northern coniferous forest but because of the manicured nature of the park, many native ground story species are not found here. The south portion of the park includes a diverse population of deciduous trees. Species found include green ash, basswood, hackberry, American elm, black locust and sugar maple. All of these species are native to Minnesota except for the black locust. Black locust is commonly found in the state but originally was brought to the area from the eastern U.S. by Native Americans who used the wood for bows. The dominant tree in this stand is green ash. The average diameter is 15" with an approximate age of 85 years. Red cedar, which is found across the southern portions of the state, is also found in the south portion of this park. Ground cover species found within this portion of the park are the same as the north. 2.7.2 LAUDERDALE NATURE AREA The area identified as the Lauderdale Nature Area encompasses approximately nine acres and is located south of Larpenteur Avenue west of the south portion of the University golf course and east of the Luther Seminary. Many tree and habitat types are represented within the plot. Floodplain forest is found along the bottoms of the ravines and adjacent to the Gasperre Pond. Small areas of Mesic oak forest and wetland are also found. The City of Lauderdale Project No: 193803904 Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Page 10 topography of the area consists of two ravines separated by an abandoned railway embankment. Steep slopes and eroding intermittent creek beds can be found within the plot. The tree species found within the Floodplain Forest community are as follows; green ash, black willow, cottonwood, silver maple and boxelder. Most of the boxelders were less than 10" DBH. The largest representative species found were the cottonwoods with some measuring over 30" DBH. Green ash was found to be the dominant species within the plot with the average DBH of 18" and an average age of 75 years. The shrub layer of the plot consisted of buckthorn, boxelder, elderberry and dogwoods. Buckthorn, an invasive species, is well-established within the plot. The ground cover found within the area consists of the following species; Jack-in-the-pulpit, wild geranium, Virginia creeper and wild violet. The ridge tops in the Nature Area are dominated by Mesic Oak Forest. Trees within these areas consist of red oak, burr oak and black locust. The oaks are native to Minnesota but the black locust, originally from the east coast, has established itself in forests such as this across the eastern part of the state. The ground cover species found within this community did not vary much from the one found in the previous community. Animal life found included a host of bird species such as warblers, black -capped chickadee, American crow and blue jays. Very little sign of mammalian life was found within the area except for deer, grey squirrels, raccoon and woodchucks. Because of the isolated nature of the area, larger mammals are likely not found here. 2.8 DRAINAGE SYSTEMS Lauderdale is divided among three watershed management organizations, although most of the City's runoff discharges southerly into two separate storm sewer tunnel systems: Bridal Veil Tunnel (through the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization) and St. Anthony Tunnel (through Capitol Region Watershed District). It is only when a lift station is operating in Walsh Lake that runoff from Lauderdale discharges north to the Rice Creek Watershed District; otherwise the water discharges westerly to Trunk Highway 280 right-of- way through two pipes (12 -inch and 18 -inch diameter) with invert elevations of 925.5 ft. The lift station does not operate until water reaches an elevation of 926.0 ft. The lift station is operated and maintained by the City of Roseville and information regarding the pumping frequency can be requested through the City of Roseville Public Works Department. See Figure 2.2 for a map of these jurisdictional boundaries. Many sections of Lauderdale's drainage system were rebuilt between 2000 and 2003. Map 1 shows the layout of the drainage system, including storm sewers, open channels, and ponding areas; in the south portion of the City, a few ponds have been constructed to enhance water quality and control runoff rates. A storm drainage report prepared in 1979 recommended developing stormwater holding basins to control stormwater in the southerly portions of the City. These improvements were implemented in conjunction with development of this area. One of these improvements included a stormwater pond located in what is currently the Lauderdale Nature Area. This was developed in 1984. Another area that was identified was the Luther Seminary land south of the Lauderdale Nature Area. Thus, Seminary Pond was completed in 1994 as a part of the Rose Condominium Development. Stormwater pond improvements near the U of M golf course were completed in conjunction with the Larpenteur Avenue reconstruction in 1997. Additionally, the west berm was raised and the EOF was defined in 2006. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 11 MnDOT has initiated improvements to the drainage system within the right-of-way of Highway 280. A stormwater detention basin was completed in 2006 on land previously occupied by the Goodwill facility. In Summer 2016, MnDOT constructed another detention pond north of Lauderdale (east of the Broadway St NE/ Highway 280 intersection), to increase drainage capacity along the highway. 2.9 PLANNING AND LAND USE Lauderdale's last comprehensive plan was adopted in 2007. The City's next comprehensive plan, in which this Local Surface Water Management Plan is included as a section, includes updates to the goals and policies related to water and natural resources. The total area of Lauderdale is approximately 270 acres. Current land uses within the City are shown in Figure 2.3. Land uses proposed for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan are shown in Figure 2.4.

City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 15 3.2 CITY SERVICES Residential streets, sanitary and storm sewers, waterlines, stormwater facilities, and park lands within Lauderdale are maintained by the City. Drinking water within the City of Lauderdale is supplied by the St. Paul Regional Water Services utility or the City of Minneapolis Water Department. Wastewater is collected in the City sewer system and discharged to collection systems in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The City adopted the Storm Water drainage Utility (see City Code 8-3) in 1994 to pay for the maintenance, operation, and improvement of the City's stormwater management system. City staff coordinates with watershed management organizations and other outside agencies in water resource management and conservation. A collection of City residents and council members manage comprehensive planning for Lauderdale. The City's current regulations are available on the City's website. 3.3 RAMSEY COUNTY (RCD) Ramsey County was created in 1849, and is one of Minnesota's original nine counties. The County provides many services to Lauderdale residents, including health services and property records. County government also includes the Ramsey Conservation District (RCD), which encourages the protection of natural resources. Ramsey County adopted the Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Plan in May 1996, which was updated in 2010. Information about this plan can be found in Section 4.7. 3.4 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS (WMO) In 1955, the Minnesota State Legislature established the Watershed Act. This act provided the means to create watershed districts, special purpose units of local government with broad authority to regulate land use planning, flood control and conservation issues, for the purpose of protecting and managing water resources. There are currently 46 watershed districts in the state, and 14 in the seven -county metropolitan area. Watershed districts have the authority to: • Adopt rules with the power of the law to regulate, conserve and control the use of water resources within the district; • Contract with units of government, as well as private and public corporations, to carry out water resources management projects; • Hire staff and contract with consultants; • Assess properties for benefits received and levy taxes to finance direct administration; • Accept public and private grant funds, and encumber debt; • Acquire property necessary for projects; • Construct and operate drainage systems, dams, dikes, reservoirs and waters supply systems; and • Enter upon lands within and without the district to conduct investigations. In 1982, the legislature approved the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act, Chapter 103B of Minnesota Statutes. This act requires all local governments within the seven -county metropolitan area to address surface water management through participation in a Watershed Management Organization (WMO). A WMO can be organized as a watershed district, as a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) among municipalities, or as a function of county government. There are 36 joint powers WMOs and ten watershed districts within the seven -county metropolitan area. These entities prepare watershed plans to: City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan ® Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 16 • Protect, preserve, and use natural surface and groundwater storage and retention systems; • Minimize public capital expenditures needed to correct flooding and water quality problems; • Identify and plan for means to effectively protect and improve surface and groundwater quality; • Establish more uniform local policies and officials controls for surface and groundwater management; • Prevent erosion of soil into surface water systems; • Promote groundwater recharge; • Protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water recreational facilities; and • Secure the other benefits associated with the proper management of surface and groundwater. The City of Lauderdale is located within the jurisdictional boundaries of three watersheds: The Mississippi Water Management Organization (MWMO), the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), and the Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD). See Figure 2.2 for the boundaries of these three watershed districts. These agencies each have authority for review and approval of this Local Surface Water Management Plan. Lauderdale requests the water districts to continue implementing their rules and regulations, and to issue permits within the community. 3.4.1 RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT (RCWD) The Rice Creek Watershed District encompasses approximately 185 square miles of Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington counties in Minnesota. Portions of the district can be found in the following municipalities: Arden Hills, Birchwood Village, Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbia Heights, Columbus, Dellwood, Falcon Heights, Forest Lake, Fridley, Grant, Hugo, Lauderdale, Lexington, Lino Lakes, Mahtomedi, May Township, Mounds View, New Brighton, Scandia, Roseville, Shoreview, Spring Lake Park, St. Anthony, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, and Willernie. The current RCWD Watershed Management Plan was adopted in January 2010 and amended in November 2016.The current watershed rules were adopted in December 2016. The City defers to the current RCWD stormwater management permitting program for all areas that are within the jurisdiction of the RCWD. The City requires applicants to provide documentation that they have obtained the necessary permits from the watershed. Figure 2.2 identifies the jurisdictional boundaries of RCWD within the City of Lauderdale. 3.4.2 THE MISSISSIPPI WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION (MWMO) The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization contains 40 square miles, of fully developed urban lands and waters. The MWMO's boundaries include the Mississippi River as it runs through Minneapolis, as well as adjacent areas that drain to the river. Member groups include portions of Columbia Heights, Fridley, Lauderdale, Hilltop, Minneapolis, St. Anthony Village, St. Paul, and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. The current Joint and Cooperative Agreement for the MWMO was executed by member communities in 2002. The current MWMO Watershed Plan was amended in 2016, and includes stormwater management standards to be implemented by member communities. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 17 3.4.3 THE CAPITOL REGION WATERSHED DISTRICT (CRWD) Established in 1998, the Capitol Region Watershed District covers 41 square miles and includes portions of Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Maplewood, Roseville, and St. Paul. The District is located within Ramsey County and has a population of 225,000 people. The Mississippi River forms the western and southern borders of the district, and is the predominant water resource to which the entire district drains. Como Lake, Crosby Lake, Loeb Lake, and Lake McCarrons are also located within the District. The current CRWD Watershed Management Plan was completed in September 2010. The current watershed rules were adopted in September 2006, and revised in April 2015. 3.5 METROPOLITAN COUNCIL Established by the Minnesota Legislature in 1967, the Metropolitan Council is the regional planning organization for the Twin Cities, seven -county area. The Council manages public transit, housing programs, wastewater collection and treatment, regional parks and regional water resources. Council members, of which there are seventeen members, are appointed by the Minnesota Governor. The Metropolitan Council reviews municipal comprehensive plans, including this Local Surface Water Management Plan. The Council adopted the 2040 Water Resources Management Policy Plan in 2015, establishing expectations to be met in local plans. The Council's goals focus on water quality standards and pollution control, "to reduce the effects of nonpoint source pollution on the region's wetlands, lakes, streams and rivers." 3.6 STATE BOARD OF WATER AND SOIL RESOURCES (BWSR) The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources works through local government agencies to implement Minnesota's water and soil conservation policies. The BWSR is the administrative agency for soil and water conservation districts, watershed districts, watershed management organizations and county water managers. The BWSR is responsible for implementation of the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act and the Wetland Conservation Act. Staff members are located in eight field offices throughout the state. First established in 1937 as the State Soil Conservation Committee, the agency became part of the University of Minnesota in the 1950s, transferred to the Department of Natural Resources in 1971, and then transferred to the Department of Agriculture in 1982. In 1987 the State Legislature established the current Board of Water and Soil Resources. The Board consists of 17 members, appointed by the governor to four-year terms. Multiple state and local agencies are represented on the Board. In 1992, the BWSR adopted rules (8410), establishing the required content for Local Surface Water Management Plans. 3.7 MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY (MPCA) The MPCA is the state's lead environmental protection agency. Created by the State Legislature in 1967, the MPCA is responsible for monitoring environmental quality and enforcing environmental regulations to protect land, air, and water in the state of Minnesota. The MPCA regulates the City's management of wastewater, stormwater and solid waste. The MPCA administers the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) in Minnesota. The MPCA is the permitting authority in Minnesota for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) program under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the federal program City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 18 administered by the Environmental Protection Agency to address polluted stormwater runoff. Certain MS4s in Minnesota are subject to stormwater regulation under the Clean Water Act and Minnesota Rule 7090. There are multiple ways for a City or township to be subject to the MPCA's stormwater regulation under the MPCA's general permit. The MPCA regulates the entire jurisdiction of a city (or township) that is located fully or partially within an urbanized area as determined by the latest Decennial Census and that owns or operates an MS4. Consequently, Lauderdale has developed a stormwater pollution prevention program (SWPPP) to address six minimum control measures: 1) public education, 2) public involvement, 3) illicit discharge detection and elimination, 4) construction site runoff control, 5) post -construction runoff control, and 6) pollution prevention in municipal operations. As the SWPPP is reviewed and updated as necessary on an annual basis, a copy of the SWPPP is not included in this LSWMP as it would eventually become outdated. In addition to the NPDES program, the MPCA is required to publish a list of impaired waters; lakes and streams in the state that are not meeting federal water quality standards. For each water body on the list, the MPCA is required to conduct a study to determine the allowable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each pollutant that exceeds the standards. The 2016 MPCA list of impaired waters identifies 2,660 TMDL reports needed for 1,808 lakes, rivers and streams in the state. Local governments are required to incorporate completed TMDL studies into their Local Surface Water Management Plans and review their SWPPPs to determine if additional BMPs are needed to comply with the TMDL waste load allocation. At this time, there are no listed waters within the City of Lauderdale. Table 2.4 identifies impaired waters that ultimately received discharge from the City of Lauderdale. In response to these multiple regulatory activities, the MPCA published the Minnesota Stormwater Manual, providing stormwater management tools and guidance. The Manual presents a unified statewide approach to stormwater practices. 3.8 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (DNR) Originally created in 1931 as the Department of Conservation, the DNR has regulatory authority over the natural resources of the state. DNR divisions specialize in waters, forestry, fish and wildlife, parks and recreation, land and minerals, and related services. The Division of Waters administers programs in lake management, shoreland management, dam safety, floodplain management, wild and scenic rivers, the Public Waters Inventory (PWI), and permitting of development activity within public waters. 3.9 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH (MDH) The MDH manages programs to protect public health, including implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The MDH has regulatory authority for monitoring water supply facilities such as water wells, surface water intakes, water treatment, and water distribution systems. The MDH is also responsible for the development and implementation of the wellhead protection program. It should be noted that the City does not have jurisdictional areas within the source water protection area for surface water intakes identified in the source water assessments conducted by the Minnesota Department of Health. 3.10 MINNESOTA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BOARD (EQB) The EQB is comprised of five citizen members and the heads of ten state agencies that play an important role in Minnesota's environment and development. The EQB develops policy, creates long-range plans and reviews proposed projects that may significantly influence Minnesota's environment. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 19 3.11 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (MNDOT) Within the City, MnDOT administers several state highway systems. MnDOT approval is required for any construction activity within state right-of-ways. MnDOT also administers a substantial amount of funding for transportation projects completed in the City. Anticipated activities of MnDOT are periodically published in their State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP). 3.12 U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) The EPA develops and enforces the regulations that implement environmental laws enacted by Congress, however the MPCA bears responsibility for implementing many of the resulting programs within Minnesota. The NPDES program and the Impaired Waters List are both the result of the Clean Water Act, administered by the EPA. 3.13 U.S. ARMY CORP OF ENGINEERS (USACE) Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, including subsequent modifications, the EPA and the USACE regulate the placement of fill into all wetlands of the U.S. In 1993, there was a modification of the definition of "discharge of dredged material" to include incidental discharges associated with excavation. This modification meant that any excavation done within a wetland required the applicant to go through Section 404 permitting procedures. In 1998, however, this decision was modified so that excavation in wetlands is now regulated by the USACE only when it is associated with a fill action. 3.14 FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY (FEMA) FEMA manages federal disaster mitigation and relief programs, including the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This program includes floodplain management and flood hazard mapping. Lauderdale is within an unmapped area and does not contain any designated regulatory floodplains. 3.15 NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS) The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Formerly named the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), the NRCS provides technical advice and engineering design services to local conservation districts across the nation. The Soil Survey of Washington and Ramsey Counties Minnesota was published by the Soil Conservation Service in 1977. The SCS also developed hydrologic calculation methods that are widely used in water resources design. 3.16 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (USGS) The USGS provides mapping and scientific study of the nation's landscape and natural resources. USGS maps provide the basis for many local resource management efforts. 3.17 U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) The USFWS works to conserve and protect the nation's fish, wildlife, plants and habitat. The USFWS developed the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) beginning in 1974, to support federal, state and local wetland management work. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 20 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 4 — Related Studies, Plans and Reports 4.1 CITY OF LAUDERDALE -1997 AND 2008 LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLANS Under Minnesota Statute 103B.235, the City of Lauderdale most recently published Local Surface Water Management Plans in 1997 and 2008. Both the 1997 and 2008 LSWMP versions describe existing and proposed land use, define drainage areas and stormwater runoff characteristics, define water quality protection methods, identify regulated areas, and set forth an implementation program for the City. Specifically, the 1997 LSWMP version served as a guide for the repair and upgrade of the City's storm drainage system. This LSWMP included an extensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for stormwater management system upgrades, which the city implemented. In addition, the plan included descriptions and costs for the City's four phase street and utility reconstructions. The LSWMP is a compilation of information from a number of sources including: Lauderdale's 1979 Drainage Report, various utility plans, Ramsey County, past consulting engineers' work, MnDOT, and City staff field inspections, surveys and recommendations. A comprehensive stormwater modeling analysis including stormwater quantity, storm sewer capacity, and water quality calculations is also presented in the plan. 4.2 CRWD WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN — AMENDED 2015 The Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD) Watershed Management Plan (WMP) was completed in 2010, and associated watershed rules were amended in April 2015. At the beginning of the management plan process, stakeholders were asked to identify concerns pertinent to manage the watershed. The identification of these issues allowed the CRWD to formulate goals and implementation strategies for the watershed management plan. The issues discussed in the WMP are grouped into the following topics: • Education and Outreach • Urban Stormwater Management • Monitoring and Data Assessment • Future Trends • Funding and Organization • Regulations and Enforcement • Ecosystem Health The implementation plan was structured around these issues to protect and improve the District's water resources. Important water resources identified by the District are: the Mississippi River, Como Lake, Lake McCarrons, Loeb Lake, Crosby Lake, Trout Brook Storm Sewer, historic streams, wetlands, groundwater, and springs. The CRWD WMP requires that cities address the following in their Local Surface Water Management Plan: • Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP) policies, goals and actions, in accordance with MPCA requirements; City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 21 • Impaired waters, TMDLs and Lake Management Plan; • The local unit of government's stormwater management requirements, including erosion and sediment controls; • Responsibilities for maintenance and repair of public and private stormwater management systems; • Flood control and water quality issues; • Spill containment; and • A plan for implementing these components. 4.3 RCWD WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN — AMENDED 2016 The 2010 Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Watershed Management Plan (WMP) provides the guidance and implementation strategies for the RCWD to manage its water and natural resources set forth in Minnesota Statutes 1038.235 and Minnesota Rule 8410. The 2010 WMP was amended in November 2016 to update and extend the implementation programs identified in the 2010 plan. This WMP will be amended in 2020 to incorporate new goals for the District. The WMP incorporates components of previous plans, as well as numerous recent assessments and studies that inform water management within the District. The RCWD organizes its 2010 WMP into eight management categories that address requirements set forth in Minnesota Rule 8410, and that highlight the District's prioritized goals. These management categories are: 1. Education, Data and Information 2. Lakes 3. Wetlands 4. Drainage Systems and Waterways 5. Excess Runoff 6. District Facilities 7. Open Space 8. Groundwater The above management goals fit into the District's strategic plan, which set guiding principles for the District rather than focusing on individual capital improvements and projects. Goals include to: • Repair and maintain drainage systems for agriculture drainage; • Support and implement environmental education programs; • Work with counties and cities to ensure groundwater conservation measures are implemented; • Maintain habitat for native wildlife through healthful water and land; • Develop and maintain land and water conservation initiatives, through use of conservation easements, cost -share agreements, and management agreements; and • Promote research that promotes and refines conservation efforts within the district. Chapter V, Goal and Policies, details the methods by which the District's objectives and policies will be implemented. Figure 2.2 identifies the jurisdictional boundaries of RCWD within the City of Lauderdale. 4.4 MWMO WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PLAN — AMENDED 2016 The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) 2011 Watershed Management Plan (WMP) was amended in 2016. Water resources management issues addressed in the WMP include groundwater City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 22 quality protections and improvement, in addition to the goals of surface water protection and water quality improvement. The plan uses information and data from past studies and actions to address a variety of issues determined as significant by the MWMO's Task Force, Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), and the Board of Commissioners. The MWMO WMP directs its member organizations to implement the MWMO's Standards Language or an equivalence to it.. In addition, local governments are responsible for: • Maintaining existing and proposed storm drain conveyance systems, including stormwater detention ponds, sewers, inlet, and outlet drainage structures; • Issuing building and grading permits; • And, performing inspections to ensure compliance during construction. The MWMO also provides education within the community, a robust water quality monitoring department, and technical support in the realm of water resource planning and implementation. Lauderdale will seek opportunities to partner with the MWMO through the following project and activity areas: 1. Capital Projects 2. Communications and Outreach 3. Monitoring 4. Planning 5. Watershed Assessment The MWMO does not issue permits or provide approval letters for construction projects but relies on the existing permitting and enforcement bodies of its member communities. However, if the MWMO determines that a member organization is not carrying out its enforcement and permitting responsibilities, the MWMO may at its discretion assume the permitting and enforcement responsibilities and hold the member organization accountable for costs associated with activities they failed to perform."' 4.5 THE BRIDAL VEIL CREEK SUBWATERSHED DESK STUDY — 2006 The MWMO, in partnership with Ramsey Conservation District, and in consultation with St. Anthony Park Community Council started monitoring three wetlands (a.k.a Kosota Pond) in 2008 to collect baseline water quality and macroinvertebrate data. MWMO also collected bathymetry data on all three wetlands. All of the data are now being organized in a watershed bulletin document by MWMO's water quality monitoring staff and will be available to the City and St. Anthony Park Community Council's environmental committee. MWMO is measuring flows in the Bridal Veil Creek Subwatershed and intermittently monitors water quality at the outfall of the river when access to the outfall is possible. This study was funded by a grant from the MWMO to the St. Anthony Park Community Council to conduct a comprehensive review of information available on the Bridal Veil Creek (BVC) watershed. The purpose of the study was to undertake a desk review and analysis of all known, prior hydrologic and drainage studies; environmental and biological inventories, histories, pollution and ecosystem studies and reports; and other relevant materials and information in the BVC watershed to be summarized in a narrative report. ' Excerpts from the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization Watershed Management Plan — Amended in 2016 City of Lauderdale Project No: 193803904 Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Page 23 One dominant theme in the watershed is the interest by local community groups to clean up the watershed, establish greenways, reduce water pollution, restore natural areas and improve quality of life by enhancing recreational opportunities. In order to achieve this goal, watershed management, landscape -level planning and ecological restoration at ecosystem and site scales will be necessary. This study recommends a multi -scale approach to ecological restoration and management, including actions at the following levels: • Landscape scale — involves land use planning to improve connectivity of natural areas and enhance recreational opportunities. • Community scale — involves active management of selected natural areas. • Site scale — involves individual yards and roadsides, native landscaping and exotic species control as well as site specific stormwater management techniques.2 4.6 CRWD EUSTIS STREET REGIONAL MODELING TECHNICAL REPORT — 2016 In March 2016, the CRWD produced a regional modeling report to assess capacity and potential flooding concerns of a concrete swale drainage system located near 1568 Eustis Street, in Lauderdale. City staff stated that the parking lot adjacent to the concrete swales frequently floods during heavy rain events. To assess the performance of the concrete swale drainage system, a hydraulic model was created using XP-SWMM. In addition, water quality performance of several wet and dry ponds in the City's system was assessed using the P8 (Program for Predicting Pollution Particle Passage through Pits, Puddles and Ponds) Urban Catchment Model. The water quality components assessed were total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP). Based on model results, several mitigation alternatives were proposed in the study: • Expansion of Seminary Pond and sheet pile wall; • Expansion of Gasperre Pond; • Construction of an earthen berm in the ravine close to the swales; • Convert Seminary Pond from dry to wet pond and install rain gardens north of Larpenteur Avenue. Recommendations included in this study involving the City of Lauderdale are identified in the Assessment (Section 6) and Implementation (Section 8) sections of this LSWMP. 4.7 RAMSEY COUNTY GROUNDWATER QUALITY AND PROTECTION DRAFT PLAN — AMENDED 2010 Ramsey County produced the Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Draft Plan in May 1996, which was amended in 2010. This plan suggests roles and responsibilities of county and local governments in groundwater management in the County. There are several recommendations outlined in the county plan that include: • participation in wellhead protection programs, • sensitive geologic area programs, • well sealing programs, and • aquifer protection programs3. The City will continue to coordinate the implementation of the plan's recommendation with Ramsey County and the local WMOs. 2 Summarized excerpts from the Bridal Veil Creek Subwatershed Desk Study, 2006 Excerpts from the Ramsey County Groundwater Protection Plan City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 24 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 5 — Water Resources Related Agreements 5.1 CONVEYANCE Multiple interagency stormwater conveyance agreements have been made by the City of Lauderdale. In March of 1954, Lauderdale entered into an agreement with Roseville and the Minnesota Highway Department authorizing the discharge of stormwater through the Highway 280 system (Minnesota Highway Department Agreement No. C-1245). In March of 1973, the City entered into an agreement with Roseville to share the cost of operating improvement 72-15, consisting of an additional gravity outlet and pump station in Walsh Lake. Copies of these conveyance agreements are included in Appendix B for reference. 5.2 WATERSHED MANAGEMENT The Joint and Cooperative Agreement for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization was executed by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the cities of Minneapolis, Columbia Heights, Fridley, Hilltop, St. Paul, St. Anthony Village and Lauderdale in January 2002, and was updated most recently in 2012. This agreement established the authority and responsibilities of the MWMO Board. A copy of the latest agreement (2012) is included in Appendix B for reference. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 25 City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan This page intentionally left blank ® Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 26 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 6 — Current Assessment 6.1 OFFICIAL CONTROLS Codes and ordinances (official controls) are necessary tools supporting implementation of this Local Surface Water Management Plan. Many of the stated goals and policies specifically reference City codes that exist or need to be created. The City's MS4 permit includes a summary of ordinances required to comply with NPDES requirements. After adoption of this Local Surface Water Management Plan, all applicable portions of City Code will need to be updated to achieve consistency with local watershed plans. Per Minnesota Statute, this implementation step must be completed within 180 days after adoption of this plan. In addition, over time, codes must be updated to remain consistent with City goals, policies, and practices. Table 6.1 assesses the status of City codes related to surface water management. TABLE 6.1 — SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT RELATED CODES 7-4-2 A Permit Requirement No update is necessary 8-2-2-9 8-2-2-10 8-3 Discharge of Surface Water Prohibited Prohibited Discharge Inspection Storm Water Utility Update as needed as required by MS4 permit Update as needed as required by MS4 permit No update is necessary 8-4-6 Storm Water Management Plan Approval Procedures Update as needed to comply with local WMO plan approval procedures 8-4-7 Plan Review Procedure Update as needed to comply with local WMO plan review procedural requirements 8-4-8 Approval Standards Update as needed to comply with local WMO plan approval standards 8-4-9 F 8-4-9 G 8-4-9 J Site Erosion Control Site Sediment Control Storm Water Management Criteria for Permanent Facilities Update as needed as required by MS4 permit Update as needed as required by MS4 permit Update as needed as required by MS4 permit and to comply with local WMO Rules 8-4-9 K Design Standards Update as needed to comply with local WMO design standards 8-4-9 L Wetlands Update as needed to comply with local WMO wetland management standards 8-5 Stormwater Illicit Discharge and Illicit Connection to the Storm Sewer System Update as needed as required by MS4 permit 6.2 HYDROLOGIC AND HYDRAULIC MODEL The City is divided into three major drainage districts as shown in Map 1 in Appendix A, namely Walsh Lake, Highway 280, and St. Anthony major drainage districts. The Walsh Lake and St. Anthony major drainage districts are further divided into numbered sub -districts, to account for specific watershed features that impact the functionality of the stormwater system, such as: stormwater basins, low points, or ditches. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 27 The 2008 Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan included a summary of results from HydroCAD and XPSWMM models, which in combination provide hydrologic and hydraulic modeling for the full extent of the City, with the exception of the major drainage to Highway 280. For the purposes of this LSWMP, the Highway 280 major drainage district is not modelled in detail as the City is not responsible for the design, maintenance, and daily operations of the MnDOT Highway 280 stormwater system. The City has a long- standing agreement with MnDOT (detailed in Appendix B) to allow flow from Lauderdale to discharge to MnDOT right-of-way, pending MnDOT review and approval. Should there be questions about the hydrologic and hydraulic context of this area, the MnDOT Water Resources Engineering Department maintains a detailed stormwater model of the Highway 280 stormwater system. Some hydrologic characteristics of the Highway 280 major drainage district are included in Appendix A. The St. Anthony major drainage district (southern portion of the City) is modelled in the HydroCAD model. The XPSWMM model focuses on the northern portion of the City. This model was created as part of the City's four phase street and utility reconstruction project completed between 2000 and 2004. The City used the XPSWMM model to accurately represent the hydraulic characteristics of the complex storm sewer pipe network tributary to Walsh Lake. The XPSWMM modeling program has the capability to model complex pipe systems. Appendices A and D to this LSWMP provide the tributary areas, high water levels, storage volumes, and stormwater pond discharge rates out of these basins. The stormwater infrastructure characteristics within the City have changed very little since 2008. Thus, the hydrologic and hydraulic results presented in Appendix A of this LSWMP are very similar to those in the 2008 Plan. The major change is the use of NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall precipitation frequency estimates, resulting in a much larger 100 -yr storm event. In addition to these modeling efforts, Barr Engineering completed the Eustis Street Regional Modeling Report in March 2016. The purpose of this report was to determine the capacity and flooding concerns of a concrete swale drainage system near 1568 Eustis Street; this system consists of two concrete swales which drain into two outlet pipes. The concern about this area stems from the fact that the parking lot adjacent to the concrete swales frequently floods, requiring apartment building tenants to avoid a portion of the parking lot. The XP- SWMM analysis indicates that the parking lot near 1568 Eustis Street is partially inundated during the 100 - year, 24-hour design event. There are several design alternatives that Barr evaluated as part of the Eustis report, including the construction of an earthen berm in ravine, the expansion of Gasperre Pond, the expansion of Seminary Pond and construction of a sheet pile wall, and the expansion of Seminary Pond and Earthen Berm. Two other alternatives that were analyzed include expansion of storage in the concrete and grass swales, or a combined flood mitigation alternative, which would include some combination of previously listed alternatives. The full study can be requested from Capitol Region Watershed District. 6.3 WETLAND MANAGEMENT In 1999, all wetlands within the Capitol Region Watershed District were inventoried and their functions and values were assessed. This inventory included two wetlands in Lauderdale, namely Gasperre Pond (N202923- 1 -A) and Seminary Pond (N202923 -2-A). The assessment information can be found in Appendix F of the Capitol Region Watershed District 2010 Watershed Management Plan. Wetland functions evaluated included Vegetative Diversity/Integrity, Maintenance of Hydrologic Regime, Flood and Stormwater Storage/Attenuation, Water Quality/Shoreline Protection, Groundwater Interaction, Wildlife Habitat, Fisheries Habitat, and Aesthetics/Recreation. The City will include the completion of a wetland inventory and assessment for the remaining wetlands in Lauderdale, namely Walsh Lake, in the City's implementation item discussed in Section 8. An estimated cost City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Han Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 28 for the completion of the wetland inventory and assessment is included in Section 8. Some level of financial assistance from the local WMOs could also be requested. Within the RCWD boundary, the RCWD is identified as the Local Government Unit (LGU) responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). Within other areas of the City (within CRWD and MWMO boundaries), the City acts as the LGU. The WCA requires anyone proposing to drain, fill, or excavate a wetland first to try to avoid disturbing the wetland; second, to try to minimize any impact on the wetland; and, finally, to replace any lost wetland acres, functions, and values. Certain wetland activities are exempt from the act, allowing projects with minimal impact or projects located on land where certain pre -established land uses are present to proceed without regulation. In 2017, Barr submitted a wetland delineation report to the City of Lauderdale and the USACE for Seminary Pond. This pond was originally constructed as a dry basin to provide flood mitigation benefits. CRWD is hoping to improve water quality and flood control performance of this pond by deepening it and converting it to a wet pond. In addition to adding an iron enhanced filtration bench to remove dissolved phosphorus. Seminary Pond is a regulated wetland under the Wetland Conservation Act. Thus, Barr prepared both an existing and proposed conditions Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (MNWRAM) based on the proposed design to determine effects of converting this pond to a wet pond and adding proposed features. Findings are further discussed in a technical memorandum entitled "Seminary Pond Wetland Function Assessment Comparison" which can be requested from the CRWD. In summary, the results of this report indicate that there are no wetland functions that would decrease as a result of the project. 6.4 IMPAIRED WATERS AND TMDLS Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act requires that states create impaired waters lists for waterbodies that do not meet water quality standards due to the presence of a particular pollutant or stressor. Impaired waters lists are published biannually, following monitoring and assessment of the waterbody. Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), developed for impaired water bodies, specify the maximum pollutant amount that the waterbody can receive to meet water quality standards. A TMDL is the sum of waste load allocations, load allocations, and a margin of safety. Waste load allocations are expressed in numeric form, and municipal stormwater sources fall under waste load allocations because they are regarded as point sources. Load allocations are those loads that do not fall under NPDES permit areas. There are no waterbodies within the City of Lauderdale currently identified on the Minnesota Impaired Waters List. However, five waterbodies in adjacent communities receiving discharge from Lauderdale are currently identified on the state list of Impaired Waters: South Long Lake, North Long Lake, Pike Lake, Mississippi River, and Rice Creek. Two sections of the Mississippi River are impaired; the first is the section from Crow River to Upper Saint Anthony Falls, and the second is the section from Lower St. Anthony Falls to Lock and Dam #1. The section of Rice Creek that is listed is between Long Lake and Locke Lake, which is part of the Upper Mississippi River TMDL, and the City is a regulated MS4 on this TMDL. Information for impaired waters identified in adjacent communities receiving flows from Lauderdale are identified in Table 2.4 in Section 2.6.4. The absence of a waterbody from the 303(d) list does not necessarily mean the waterbody is meeting its designated use(s). It may be that it has either not been sampled or there is not enough data to make an impairment determination. As part of the NPDES program, the City of Lauderdale is required to review all discharges from their MS4 system to impaired waters, as defined by the current USEPA approved 303(d) list. As a part of this review they are required to do the following: City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 29 1. Review the Impaired Waters List to determine whether there are any impaired waters located within five miles of the City's boundaries that receive discharge from the City's MS4. For waters that are impaired only for mercury, the review process stops here. 2. Identify the location(s) of discharge(s) from the City's MS4 to the impaired waters. Discharges may include pipes, outlets, ditches, swales, street gutters, or other discrete conveyances for stormwater runoff. 3. Delineate the watershed area within the City's jurisdiction that discharges to each impaired water. 4. Prepare an impaired water evaluation addressing the hydrology, land use, and other characteristics of each watershed area delineated. 5. Prepare an impaired waters report. This report will address the results of the impaired waters evaluation along with a determination of whether changes to the City's SWPPP are warranted to reduce the impact from the City's MS4 stormwater discharge to each impaired water. 6. The City will incorporate the changes identified in the impaired waters report into the City's SWPPP and be reported through the annual reporting process. At some point, a strategy would be developed that would lead to attainment of the applicable water quality standard for these impaired waters. The process of developing this strategy is commonly known as the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process and involves the following phases: 1) Assessment and listing, 2) TMDL study, 3) Implementation plan development and implementation, and 4) Monitoring effectiveness of implementation efforts. Responsibility for implementing the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act falls to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In Minnesota, the EPA delegates much of the program responsibility to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Information on the MPCA program can be obtained at the following web address: http://www.nca.state.mn.us/water/tmdl/index.html. Discussion regarding the directives for impaired waters and ultimately TMDL studies addressing the impairments for the waterbodies listed in Table 2.4 is presented in the implementation section (Section 8) of the LSWMP. This section will identify how the City intends to be involved in these directives and the City's strategy for implementing these directives. 6.5 NPDES PERMITTING PROCESS The MPCA has designated the City of Lauderdale as an NPDES Phase II MS4 community (MN Rules 7090). The NPDES State Disposal System (SDS) General Permit (MNR040000) for discharges of stormwater associated with Municipal Separate Stormwater Systems (MS4s) was issued initially in 2003, and the permit is updated every five years. At the time of the 2018 LSWMP update for the City of Lauderdale, the 2013 Draft MS4 permit is still in effect. As new MS4 general permits are issued, the City will update its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and LSWMP as necessary. The City's SWPPP will address six minimum control measures: 1. Public education and outreach 2. Public participation/involvement 3. Illicit discharge detection and elimination 4. Construction site stormwater runoff control 5. Post -construction stormwater runoff control 6. Pollution prevention in municipal operations City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 30 The City's SWPPP contains several best management practices within each of the listed control measures. These were identified using a self-evaluation and input process with City staff. Many of the goals and policies discussed in this Local Water Management Plan are directly related to requirements listed in the NPDES program. As a result, the Goals and Policies section of this plan repeatedly references items listed in the City's SWPPP. Per the requirements of the MS4 Permit, the City will review their SWPPP and update as necessary on an annual basis. The City will coordinate water resource educations effort with outside agencies to complete the City's goals as outlined in their MS4 SWPPP, which may include fulfilling their public education requirements by obtaining educational information and assistance from local WMO's. 6.6 SUMMARY OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT GOALS AND POLICIES A summary of the stormwater management policies, including those policies identified in the RCWD, CRWD, and MWMO Watershed Management Plans being applicable to Lauderdale, is included in Chapter 7. Where a specific watershed policy directly impacts the City of Lauderdale, the policy will be incorporated into the City's stormwater management policies in Section 7 of this LSWMP. 6.7 COMPARISON OF REGULATORY STANDARDS The City will be responsible for implementation and enforcement of watershed management standards within the MWMO jurisdictional boundary except MnDOT projects. Standards applied will be equivalent to the MWMO's standards listed in the appendix. The City is also committed to coordinating project review efforts to facilitate RCWD and CRWD permit process. See Figure 2.2 for the location of the jurisdictional boundaries for these WMOs. Each WMO has established standards governing stormwater management and protection of natural resources. The governing document for these standards for each WMO is identified as follows: • Rice Creek Watershed District Rules— adopted December 14, 2016 • Capitol Region Watershed District Rules — adopted September 6, 2006 and revised April 1, 2015 MWMO Watershed Management Plan Section 3.1.3 - adopted 2011-2021 (11-09-2016 Amended Version) 6.8 WATER RESOURCE RELATED PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS An assessment of specific existing and potential water resource -related problems is summarized below. These problems have been identified based on current information available to the City and includes problems identified in any of the documents listed in Section 4 (related studies, plans, and reports). Possible corrective actions have been listed for each problem and those to which the City commits itself are incorporated into an implementation program (Section 8). In addition to these specific problems, the WMPs for the three WMOs having jurisdiction in Lauderdale also identify general stormwater management issues that apply across the jurisdiction or to a smaller sub -area of their jurisdiction. The City will be incorporating corrective actions to address the applicable general issues City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 31 into the LSWMP goals and policies (Section 7) and/or stormwater management standards (Section 8), which conform to the goals and policies and stormwater management standards of the WMOs. TABLE 6.2 — NATURAL RESOURCES AND WATER QUALITY PROBLEMS City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 32 • Harvesting aquatic weeds as necessary. • Cooperate with the efforts of the Rice Creek Watershed District to implement water quality treatment measures to improve the water quality of Walsh Lake; these include enhancing areas upstream to include depressional storage or the creation of raingardens or biofiltration areas, using green areas better to provide treatment.

City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 33 City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan This page intentionally left blank Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 34 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 7 — Goals and Policies 7.1 SUMMARY Surface water management issues within the City are primarily defined by the requirements of current or pending programs. The goals and policies outlined in this plan are grouped by their relationship to the key issues listed below: • Section 7.2 Land Development and Redevelopment — Goals and policies to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources from land disturbance and impervious surfaces. • Section 7.3 Resource Management — Goals and policies for managing Lauderdale's wetlands, lakes, and groundwater, to preserve the functions and values of these resources. • Section 7.4 Citywide Program Elements — Goals and policies for managing water resources and drainage systems on a citywide scale, to effectively achieve surface water management goals. • Section 7.5 Support of Other Agencies — Goals and policies to coordinate local surface water management with the work of watershed management organizations and state agencies. The goals and policies listed below are consistent with the NPDES MS4 General Permit and the City of Lauderdale's SWPPP. These goals are also in alignment with those identified by the WMOs in their WMPs. 7.2 LAND DEVELOPMENT AND REDEVELOPMENT Overall Goal: Manage land disturbance from new development, redevelopment, street reconstruction projects, or any other public or private land disturbing activity that creates new impervious or fully reconstructed surfaces to prevent flooding and adverse impacts to water resources through the cooperation with the stormwater management standards identified by the WMOs with jurisdiction in Lauderdale. To make this process effective, the City will strive through an up -front stormwater assessment and planning process to incorporate best management practices that focus on treating runoff at the source and not in typical end of pipe treatments. The incorporation of these Best Management Practices will coincide with the guidance provided in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. The upfront stormwater assessment and planning processes implemented at the project submittal stage will include guidance and recommendations for projects to include volume management features at the most ideal locations throughout a projects corridor. At a minimum, the City will look to provide pretreatment of stormwater before it enters the existing stormwater system. Volume management will apply to projects that disturb greater than 1 acre of land or 10,000 sq ft of land adjacent to a water body (wetland, stream, public water, public water wetland). 7.2.1 RUNOFF RATE Goal: Control the rate of stormwater runoff from development to reduce downstream flooding and erosion. Policy: The City will enforce their stormwater management ordinance (see Section 8-4) to ensure that the peak rate of runoff from regulated land development or redevelopment does not exceed existing rates for the 2 -year, 10 -year, and 100 -year rainfall events. Rate control below existing rates may be necessary where downstream capacity issues are identified, which will require coordination with the local WMOs. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 35 Policy: The City will require that the maximum duration for rainfall critical event analysis shall be 24 hours. The City will require the use of the hydrograph method of analysis, the MSE Type III storm distribution, and NOAA Atlas -14 rainfall data. Policy: For new construction, the City will ensure that stormwater features have emergency overflow spillways sufficiently stabilized to convey flows greater than the 100 -year critical storm event. 7.2.2 FLOOD PREVENTION AND FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT Goal: Provide adequate storage and conveyance of runoff and control development in flood prone areas to protect the public safety and minimize property damage. Policy: The City will require that the low floor elevation of new structures provide a minimum of 2 -feet of freeboard above the 100 -year High Water Level (HWL) or 1 -foot of freeboard above the emergency overflow of an adjacent pond. Policy: While no designated floodplains exist in Lauderdale, consistent with the policy in Section 3.4 (General Compliance Requirements) of the MWMO WMP, the City requires that encroachment into floodways that reduces conveyance capacities or expedites flood flows not be allowed. 7.2.3 RUNOFF VOLUME Goal: Reduce pollutant loads and impacts to water bodies and encourage groundwater recharge, by reducing the volume of stormwater runoff from development and redevelopment areas. Policy: The City will review and update City code as necessary to ensure that volume control standards are consistent with current engineering practices and current regulations of local and state agencies having jurisdiction within the City. Policy: For all projects except Public Linear Projects within RCWD or MWMO, calculate water quality treatment volume by multiplying the area of new or reconstructed impervious surface by 1.1 inches, and divide by a total phosphorus removal factor (values indicated below in Table 7.1). For Public Linear Projects within RCWD or MWMO, the required water quality treatment volume is the area of new impervious surface multiplied by 0.75 inches. For all projects within CRWD, stormwater runoff shall be retained onsite in the amount equivalent to 1.1 inches of runoff over the impervious surfaces of development. Policy: Per the MS4 Permit, new development and redevelopment projects with land disturbances of greater than or equal to one acre, including projects less than one acre that are part of a larger common plan of development or sale, within the permittee's jursidiction and that discharge to the City's MS4 must be in compliance with the Post -Construction Stormwater Management requirements of Part III D.5 of the MS4 Permit. Refer to the MS4 Permit for further information. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 36 Infiltration Water Reuse Biofiltration Filtration Stormwater Wetlands Stormwater Ponds TABLE 7.1 - TP REMOVAL FACTORS FOR BMPs Infiltration Feature 1.00 Irrigation 1.00 Underdrain 0.65 Sand or rock filter 0.50 Shallow Wetland 0.40 Pond/Wetland 0.55 Wet Pond 0.50 Multiple Pond 0.60 Goal: Reduce the volume of stormwater runoff from existing developed areas. Policy: The City will coordinate efforts with the local WMO to minimize impervious surfaces where feasible when reconstructing streets and other paved surfaces and provide volume control mitigation per WMO requirements. Policy: Where practical, the City will encourage the use of infiltration systems that promote water conservation and reuse to reduce discharge volumes and conserve groundwater in existing developed areas, taking into consideration site limitations such as soil conditions, depth to groundwater, safety, snow removal, and maintenance issues. 7.2.4 NUTRIENT AND SEDIMENT LOADING Goal: Reduce the nutrient and sediment loads discharged from land development or redevelopment. The following policies are consistent with SWPPP minimum control measure MCM 5 (post -construction storm water management) and MCM 6 (pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations). Policy: The City will strive for the non -degradation of receiving waters within the City by enforcing current stormwater management standards, in cooperation with the local WMOs' stormwater management standards. Policy: The City will defer the enforcement of nutrient and sediment load requirements to those of either the RCWD or CRWD. Under no circumstances shall overall treatment of a development or redevelopment site fall below 50% post -development removal for phosphorous and 90% post -development removal for total suspended solids. Policy: The City will require that developments incorporate non -point source pollution reduction BMPs to achieve 90% total suspended solids removal from the runoff generated by a Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) water quality storm (2.5" rainfall), or on an annual basis. Policy: The City will review and update the stormwater management ordinance (see City Code Section 8-4) as necessary to ensure that water quality treatment standards are consistent with current engineering practices and current regulations of local and state agencies having jurisdiction within the City. City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 37 Policy: The City will enforce their stormwater management ordinance (see City Code Section 8-4) requiring outlet skimming up to the 1 -year storm event HWL in all new stormwater ponds. 7.2.5 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Goal: Prevent sediment from construction sites from entering the City's surface water resources. The following policies are consistent with SWPPP MCM 4 (construction site stormwater runoff and control) and MCM 5 (post -construction stormwater management). Policy: The City will implement, update and enforce the Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance (Title 8, Chapter 4 — Stormwater Management) as outlined in the NPDES, MS4 permit. Policy: The City will require that erosion and sediment control practices are consistent with the standards identified in the current MPCA Construction General Permit and the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. Policy: The City will require that a wetland assessment be prepared for any project that includes a wetland not already assessed. Minnesota Routine Assessment Methodology (current version) is the required method of assessment for evaluating wetland functions and values. 7.3 RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Goal: Protect the City's wetlands, lakes, streams, groundwater, and natural areas to preserve the functions and values of these resources for future generations through the Wetland Conservation Act, buffer standards, groundwater protection rules and coordination with outside agencies. 7.3.1 WETLAND MANAGEMENT Goal. Protect and preserve wetlands to maintain or improve their function and value.

City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 42 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - LOCAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN Section 8 — Implementation 8.1 OVERVIEW The City has developed an implementation program based on the information developed in earlier sections of this Local Surface Water Management Plan. This program reflects the needs and concerns of many stakeholders including the City Council, City Staff, citizens, watershed management organizations, and funding capabilities. This Section summarizes the implementation items identified in Sections 6 and 7 of this LSWMP, prioritizes these items, and presents a preliminary cost estimate to complete the items based on the best available information. It should be noted that estimated costs presented in the section are preliminary only and a presented for long-term budget planning purposes. 8.2 IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES The City's current, overall Capital Improvement Plan includes several projects that address issues identified in Section 6 and goals and policies identified in Section 7. A summary of those projects is provided in Table 8.1, showing proposed start year, priority level, and budgeted cost. Project effectiveness will be measured by assessing whether or not these projects have been implemented by the date listed in this table. The City will use the implementation project information presented in Table 8.1 to update their current CIP, as necessary. The City updates the Capital Improvement Plan on an annual basis. 8.3 OTHER FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES This section includes other future implementation activities not identified in Table 8.1 above. These activities generally include coordination efforts other agencies or potential future activities that have yet to be finalized. These future implementation activities identified below are relevant to overall stormwater management within the City and should be considered in future Capital Improvement Plan discussions. Specific information regarding the most current local WMO cost share programs can be found on their websites, as follows: • Rice Creek Watershed District: www.ricecreek.org/grants • Capitol Region Watershed District: www.caoitolregionwd.org/our-work/grants • Mississippi Watershed Management Organization: www.mwmo.org/stewardshiofund.html 8.3.1 COORDINATE WITH THE RCWD TO ADDRESS DEGRADED WATER QUALITY IN WALSH LAKE As part of the 2002 Utility and Street Improvement Project, the City removed approximately 500 cubic yards of sediment that had deposited near pond inlets. The City is interested in partnering with the RCWD to complete both in -lake vegetation management and water quality retrofit projects aimed at improving the water quality of Walsh Lake. The RCWD identifies specific programs on their website (www.ricecreek.org) that could be applied toward partnering with Lauderdale, including: • RCWD — Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program • RCWD — Water Quality Grant Program City of Lauderdale Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Project No: 193803904 Page 43 TABLE 8.1 —IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS 1 Wetland Inventory and Assessment Complete a Wetland Inventory and Assessment of wetlands in Lauderdale — cost will depend on level of detail, deliverables, and cost participation from the local WMOs 2018 Medium $3,500 City 2 Seminary Pond Ravine Stabilization Stabilize the eroding ravine section upstream of Seminary Pond toward Fulham Street using bioengineering techniques — outside funding from various organizations should be sought 2020 Low $80,000 City and Watershed District(s) 3 Eustis Street Storm Sewer Improvements Replace the existing overland conveyance system on Eustis St. between Larpenteur Ave.and Pond 1 with a continuous storm sewer system 2019 Medium To be negotiated with the county.

However, drainage from Lauderdale ultimately discharges into a number of impaired waters: Pike Lake, North Long Lake, South Long Lake, Rice Creek, and the Mississippi River. The City recognizes that the responsibility for completion and implementation of the TMDL studies lies with the primary stakeholders contributing to the impairment. The City intends to cooperate with the watersheds in the development of the TMDL studies, acknowledging that the watersheds will take the lead on these studies. It is the intention of the City to fully implement the items/actions identified in future TMDL Implementation Plans, funding the implementation items/actions as necessary. 8.3.3 NATIVE PLANT RESTORATION PROJECTS Native plant restoration in the Seminary Pond area to control exotic plant species and improve native plant diversity is identified as an implementation item in the Bridal Veil Creek Subwatershed Desk Study published by the MWMO. Seminary Pond is located within Capitol Region Watershed District. The City will likely look to coordinate with this CRWD and other organizations to possibly combine native plant restoration projects in the Seminary Pond area with a stormwater project. The City is willing to provide assistance to these organizations as necessary once specific projects are identified. 8.3.4 REESTABLISHMENT OF NATURAL CORRIDOR Reestablishing a natural corridor between Bridal Veil Pond and the Seminary Pond area is identified as an implementation item in the Bridal Veil Creek Subwatershed Desk Study published by the MWMO. The City will look for the MWMO and other organizations to initiate a project to reestablish the natural corridor between Bridal Veil Pond and the Seminary Pond area, as this action is regional in nature and will require substantial funding for land acquisition and site modifications. The City is willing to provide assistance to these organizations as necessary once specific projects are identified. 8.3.5 REDEVELOPMENT WATER QUALITY STANDARDS Develop redevelopment water quality standards that seek to improve the existing water quality treatment capabilities of the site being redeveloped beyond current City redevelopment standards. A number of programs are identified in the local WMOs implementation plans that could provide partnering funds to address redevelopment water quality standards. A few of the available programs are as follows: City of Lauderdale Project No: 193803904 Local Surface Water Management Plan Stantec Page 45 • MWMO — Stewardship Fund Program (Action, Planning or Mini Grants) • CRWD — Urban Redevelopment • CRWD — Stewardship Grant Program (for those projects that go above and beyond the required redevelopment stormwater standards) 8.3.6 URBAN WATER QUALITY RETROFIT PROJECTS The City will look for opportunities in developed areas to install retrofit water quality improvement BMPs to improve the overall water quality in the City. A number of programs are identified in the local WMOs implementation plans that could provide partnering funds to locate, design, and install retrofit BMPs. A few of the available programs are as follows: • MWMO — Greening for Water Quality Program • MWMO — Stewardship Fund Program • MWMO — Water Reuse and Conservation Program • RCWD — Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost -Share Program • RCWD — Water Quality Grant Program • CRWD — Stewardship and Special Grant Programs 8.4 POTENTIAL FUNDING Implementation of the proposed studies, programs, and improvements identified in this plan will affect City finances. To quantify this effect, a review of the ability of the City to fund these studies, programs, and improvements is required. Below is a listing of various sources of revenue that the City will attempt to utilize: • Existing stormwater utility • Grant and partnership monies possibly secured from various agencies for projects General fund • Project funds could be obtained from watershed district levies as provided for in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103D.905 for those projects being completed by or in cooperation with the RCWD or CRWD. • Special assessments for local improvements performed under authority of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. • Revenue generated by Watershed Management Special Tax Districts provided for under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473.882. • Other sources potentially including tax increment financing, tax abatement, state aid, and others. The City's stormwater utility is the primary source for the studies, programs, and improvements identified in this Plan.

This included community surveys and input oppor- tunities to bring the community's attention to the wooden land being sold by Luther Semi- nary. The Council had their first discussion on the proposed zoning text at the last meeting. The assistant city attorney is formally reviewing the draft and we anticipate sending that draft out in advance of the meeting. In the interim, staff included the draft included in your last pack- et. Since the last meeting ran late and it is a lot of material to absorb, the topic was added to this agenda for further reflection. Zoning ordinance amendments require 10 -days' published notice in the City's official paper. Notice will run in the January 22 edition so that the City Council can hold the public hearing on February 12. Depending on the outcome of that meeting, the ordinance could be adopted as soon as the February 26 council meeting.

State law has changed. The revisions presented reflect the changes made in state law since 2000. 2. Improve readability. When trying to apply the policy to the current proposed project, it became clear where the language could be improved or made more concise. 3. Apply to a wider variety of projects. This policy was written for the 2000-2003 street improvement projects and this project is different in some ways as will future projects. Dave Anderson, from Kennedy and Graven, made changes to the hardship deferral language in Section 12 based on the discussion at the last meeting. The policy is ready for adoption or further revision at the Council's discretion. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to adopt the revised City of Lauderdale—Special Assessment Policy Manual. UPDATED ON JANUARY 22. 2019 CITY OF LAUDERDALE - SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL SECTION 1: GENERAL POLICY STATEMENT The purpose of this special assessment policy manual(hereinafter, the "Policy") is to set forth a guide of policies and procedures to be followed by the City of Lauderdale (hereinafter, the "City") in making public improvements and charging special assessments to finance such public improvements. Minnesota State Statutes, chapter 429, provides that a municipality shall have the power to make certain public improvements such as, including but not limited to, sanitary sewers, storm sewers, water source and distribution facilities, street improvements including grading, curb &and gutter, surfacing, sidewalks and street lighting. The various procedures that a municipality must follow in regards to financing public improvements are well =defined within the law. The special assessment is a device used to finance those public improvements desired bythat benefit a particular neighborhood or area. The beginnings of use of the special assessment dates back over three hundred years. It has now grown to be an essential and reliable source of municipal revenuepublic improvement project funding. A. CHARACTERISTICS, CRITERIA, AND APPLICATIONS Special assessments are defined by three distinct characteristics: 1. They are compulsory charges used to finance particular public improvement programs. 2. The special assessments are charged only against those particular parcels of property deemed to receive some special benefit from the program. The amount of the assessment bears some relationship to the value of the benefits received=. Special assessments reflect the influence of a specific public improvement on the value of selected property. No matter what method the City uses to establish the amount of the assessment, the real measure of benefit is the increase in the market value of the land because of the improvement. Under the special benefit test, special assessments are presumptively valid if: 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL 1. The land receives a special benefit from the public improvement. (b) thc2. The amount of the assessments mustdoes not exceed the special benefitsbenefit. 3. The assessment is uniform in relation to the same class of property within the assessment area. In theory, special assessments are frequently regarded as more equitable than property taxes because a morc direct benefit is received from the improvements undertaken. Also, special assessments are only imposed on real estate, and they are never levied upon personal and/or movable property. Special Assessments have three important applications: 1. Financing New Improvements. The assessments are frequently used to finance new public improvements, such as the opening and surfacing of streets, installation of utility lines, construction of curb and gutter, and the provision of street lighting. 2. Financing Redevelopment. When commercial and residential neighborhoods are confronted with deterioration, special assessments can be utilized in a variety of ways to good advantage to redevelop and revitalize an area. 3. Financing Major Infrastructure Maintenance Programs. Large-scale repairs and maintenance operations on streets, sidewalks, sewers and simila-rother public facilities can and often should be financed with special assessments. SECTION 2: INTENT The policies contained in this document establish and delineate a procedure for undertaking public improvements and levying special assessments pursuant to Minncsota State Statutcsstate law. This p491cyPolicy should be viewed as a starting point for conducting assessments for public improvement projects. When an improvement conveys special benefit to properties in a definable area, the City intends temay levy special assessments on those benefited properties to finance such improvements. It shall be the policy of the City of Lauderdalc that the amount of the assessment for public improvements should not exceed the special benefit to the property. The City will use - - _ - •• - - _ _ his Policy to insure that assessments have a reasonable relationship to benefits. Public improvements include the construction and reconstruction of streets, sidewalks, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 2 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL water works, street lighting, or any other public improvements allowed by Statcunder state law. When applying this acscssment policy manualPolicy, the City Council reserves the right to adjust the peticyPolicy so as to achieve a more fair or equitable distribution of special assessments. This may occur in the event that the literal application of the provisions outlined herein would result in an inadequate distribution of special assessments. ThcAdditionally, the City Council reserves and maintains the right to apply this policy _ • - - _ - - _ _ :: - _ exercise any rights related to special assessments that are otherwise authorized by state law. This Policy should not be interpreted to limit or curtail any of those rights. Finally, it should -also be noted that any errors or omissions in this poticyPolicy are not to be held against the City. SECTION 3: GENERAL ASSESSMENT POLICY A. TYPES OF IMPROVEMENTS This pofieyPolicy shall rclatoapply only to those public improvements allowable under Minnesota State Statutes, chapter 429. Those public improvements include, but are not limited to, the following: • Street Improvements; including curb, gutter, grading, graveling, and surfacing • Sanitary sewer system improvements • Water utility system improvements • Storm sewer and drainage systems • Planting, trimming, care and removal of trees • Sidewalks • Street lighting systems • Service charges that are unpaid for the cost of rubbish removal from sidewalks, weed elimination, and the elimination of public health or safety hazards, upon passage of appropriate ordinances. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 3 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL B. INITIATION OF IMPROVEMENTS The initiation of public improvement projects may occur in one of three ways: 1. Petition of not less than 35% of property owners. An improvement project can begin with a signed petition by the owners of not less than 35% of the frontage of the real property abutting the proposed improvements. This improvement can only be ordered after a public hearing. 2. Petition of 100% of property owners. An improvement project can begin with a signed petition by the owners of 100% of the frontage of the real property abutting the proposed improvements. This improvement does not require a public hearing, and may be ordered by the City Council by a simple majority vote if the petitioning property owners agree to pay 100% of the costs of the improvements. 3. City Council Initiation. No petition is needed. This improvement can only be ordered after a public hearing. The resolution ordering the improvement must be adopted by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council. A complete outline of the public improvement process is provided in Section P-9 of this Policy. C. GENERAL DEFINITIONS 1. Project Cost. The "project cost" of an improvement shall be deemed to include the costs of all necessary construction work required to accomplish the improvement, including expenses incurred or to be incurred in making the improvement that includes engineering, consulting, legal, administration, financing, easements, right-of-way acquisition, and other contingent costs. 2. City Cost. Where the project cost of an improvement is entirely attributable to the need for service to the areas served by said improvement, or whereas unusual conditions beyond the control of the property owners in the area served by the improvement would result in inequitable distribution of special assessments, the City, through the use of other funds, may negotiate such "city costs" which, in the opinion of the City Council, represents those costs not directly attributable to the area served. Assessable Cost. The "assessable cost" of an improvement shall be defined as those costs which, in the opinion of the City Council, are attributable to the need for service in the areas served by the improvement 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 4 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL and are not in excess of the special benefit conveyed to the property by the improvements. 4. Use of Other Funds. If financial assistance is received from the federal government, from the State of Minnesota, or from any other source to defray a portion of the cost of a given improvement, such aid will first be used to reduce the City cost of the improvement. 5. City Property. City -owned property, including municipal building sites, parks, nature areas, but not including pubic streets and alleys shall be regarded as being assessable on the same basis as if such property was privately owned. 6. Application of Policy. In the event the literal application of the provisions outlined hereinin this Policy would result in an inadequate distribution of special assessments in the opinionsole discretion of the City Council, the City Council reserves the right to adjust the policyits application so as to achieve a more equitable distribution. Such adjustment may be based on current or anticipated land use. SECTION 4: METHOD OF ASSESSMENT A. DEFINITIONS The assessable costs of thea public improvement shall be distributed among the affected property owners according to the methods outlined in this section. The following shall apply in determining assessable costs: 1. Adjusted front footage shall be expressed to the nearest foot. 2. Measures of dimension, distance, or size shall be based on recorded platting data, wherever possible. B. FRONT FOOTFOOTAGE METHOD ImprovementPublic improvement costs are commonly distributed according to the "adjusted front footage" of a taxable parcel or lot. In this method, the cityCity determines a rate of assessment per front foot. The result is an assessment that applies to each parcel as follows: 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 5 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL Assessment = Assessment rate per front foot x parcel's adjusted front footage Because individual parcels can differ considerably in shape and area, the following procedures will be used to calculate what the adjusted front footage is for particular parcels. 1 Rectangular Interior (Standard) Lots. For rectangular interior lots, the footage equals the dimension of the side of the lot abutting the public improvement. 2. Cul-de-sac Lots. For cul-de-sac lots, footage equals the lot width at the building setback requirement line abutting the public improvement. 3. Curved Frontage Lots. For other lots with curved frontage, footage equals the dimension of the side of the lot abutting the public improvement. 4. Corner Lots.

Double Frontage Lots. A lot with access to two separate non -intersecting or intersecting streets but not a corner lot may be assessed for any street improvement that it has direct access to. according to the formulas provided herein. C. AREA METHOD Assessments may be distributed according to the gross area of the benefited lot or parcel. The assessable area shall be expressed in terms of the number of acres or the number of square feet subject to assessment. Assessment = Assessment rate per acre or sq. ft. x area to be assessed (acres or sq. ft.) Where appropriate, an allowance will be made for streets. When the area is platted, a deduction will be made for the actual and proposed street right-of-way. For unplatted land with no streets platted or proposed, a deduction of 20% of the gross acreage applies as a street credit. D. UNIT/WEIGHTED LOT METHOD When the City Council determines that the assessable cost would be more equitably distributed on a unit basis, all lots will be reviewed for conformity and a standard lot size will be determined. Any lot that could be divided to form more than one lot shall be given a weighted lot or residential equivalent unit. Each residential equivalent unit shall be charged with one assessment charge. New subdivisions will generally use the unit/weighted lot method for all improvements. A•ain s•ecial assessments reflect the influence of a .ublic im•rovement on the value of the property benefited. No matter what method the City uses to establish the amount of an assessment, the measure of benefit is the increase in the market value of the land because of the improvement, and special assessments cannot exceed that amount. SECTION 5: STREET IMPROVEMENTS A. NEW STREET CONSTRUCTION Street construction is defined as the initial installation of a permanent street into an area, consisting of the necessary grading, base, hard surfacing (bituminous or concrete), and curb and gutter. 550340v2 DTA LAI35-3 7 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL 1 Policy. Street construction will occur only after all utilities and utility service lines have been installed to serve each known and assumed location. No street construction shall be approved for less than both sides of a street except as necessary to complete the improvement of a block that has previous partial completion. 2. Method of Assessment. The assessable costs for street construction shall be distributed among benefited properties on an adjusted front footage or unit basis. 3. Assessable Cost. The assessable cost equals 100 percent (100%) of the entire project cost for the street construction including intersections, alley openings, and street openings, subject to the special benefit standard. B. STREET RECONSTRUCTION AND RESURFACING Street reconstruction and resurfacing is defined as the rehabilitation of an existing street. Street reconstruction and resurfacing projects shall include, but are not limited tos the following: • Rehabilitation of an existing street: Reconstruction of an existing street including but not limited to grading, necessary drainage, curb and gutter and hard surfacing. • Cold in place recycling and repaving (CIR/Repaving): Recycling of existing deteriorated pavements by pulverizing, mixing with new asphaltic oils and compacting in place. New paving materials are then placed over the cold recycled pavement similar to a standard overlay. • Bituminous Overlay: Placement of an additional bituminous layer, generally one to two inches thick, over an existing bituminous surfaced street. • Concrete Pavement Restoration: Replacement of existing concrete panels which have deteriorated, mud jacking panel to improve rideability, and the filling of joints and cracks with a petroleum-based material to eliminate flow of water to the base below the surface. 1. Method of Assessment. The assessable costs for street construction shall be distributed among benefited properties on an adjusted front footage basis. 2. Assessable Cost. The front footage assessment rate shall be determined by dividing the project cost by the total number of adjusted front feet in the project area x the individual adjusted front footage -)c-40 perccnt (2/5 or 0.40). The assessments per adjusted front foot may vary depending on the underlying zoning of a parcel. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 8 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL 2. Assessable Cost. The assessable cost equals 100 percent of the entire project cost for street reconstruction and resurfacing, subject to the special benefit standard. 3. Front Foot Maximum. For single-family residential units and duplexes, the maximum amount of footage to be assessed for individual adjusted front footage for each parcel or lot shall be eighty (80) feet. C. MAINTENANCE Maintenance is a cost-effective measure to extend the useful street life of a particular roadway and to delay street reconstruction needs. Maintenance projects shall include but are not limited to the following: • Crack Sealing - Placement of petroleum-based material in the cracks of a bituminous surfaced street for the purpose of eliminating the flow of water from the surface to the aggregate base material below. • Bituminous Seal Coating - Placement of petroleum-based material and aggregate on an existing bituminous surfaced street for the purpose of filling cracks and covering mild wear. • Bituminous Surfacing Patching - Repair or replacement of existing bituminous surfacing or portions of surfacing which has deteriorated. 1. Assessable Costs. Maintenance improvements are not assessable costs. D. APPURTENANCES Appurtenances are items such as sidewalks, street lighting, or trees that are often encountered during street improvement projects. 1. Policy. Appurtenances to new street construction, street reconstruction or resurfacing projects shall be included in the cost of the street improvement project and assessed according to those methods and policies. Appurtenances constructed or provided separate from new street construction; street reconstruction or resurfacing projects shall be assessed up to 100° percent of the entire project cost, subject to the special benefit standard. SECTION 6: SANITARY SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENTS 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 9 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL A. SANITARY SEWER AND WATER - MAINS AND TRUNKS Repair and replacement of sanitary sewer or water mains are usually done in conjunction with a street improvement project, when needed. 1. Assessable Costs. New Sanitary sewer and water main improvements aremay be assessed up to 100 percent accessed to benefiting propertics; subject to the special benefit standard. Replacement sanitary sewer and water main improvements are not assessable costs. B. SANITARY SEWER AND WATER - INDIVIDUAL SERVICES All individual service lines from buildings to the property IineCity's mains are the responsibility of the benefited property owner. However, the City may maintain, improve, or replace, if necessary, said individual service lines between the individual property line and the City's mains in the public right-of-way. 1.

SECTION 7: STORM SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Storm drainage and ponding/basin systems are usually constructed to serve a specific drainage or "watershed" area. The cost of storm system and drainage improvements shall not be assessed pursuant to this policyPolicy. In 1994, thcThe City has established a Storm Water Drainage Utility (City Code 8 -3 -1) -in. Although the City of Lauderdale. The revenues collected for this Utility are intended to fund the general operating costs of the storm and drainage system, along with capital improvements associated with this overall system, costs for these types of projects may also be assessed up to 100 percent, subject to the special benefit standard. SECTION 8: SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 10 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL A. SUPPLEMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND REASSESSMENT The City Council may, subject to legal notice and hearing requirements, make supplemental assessments to correct omissions, errors, or mistakes in the relating to the total cost of thea public improvement or any other particular item. If an assessment is set aside by a court for any reason or if the Council finds that the assessment or any part of it is excessive or determines on the advice of the City Attorney that it is or may be invalid for any reason, the Council may upon notice and hearing as required for the original assessment, make a reassessment or a new assessment as to such parcel or parcels. B. PRELIMINARY PLAT CONSIDERATION Land could be considered for assessment based on preliminary plat consideration. The consideration will occur only when the following scenario exists: 1. The City Council has approved the preliminary plat; and 2. A public hearing ordering the improvement project has not yet occurred. In the event this exists, assessment frontages may be calculated based upon the proposed lot configuration within the preliminary plat. Road right-of-way within the proposed street alignment will not be subject to assessment. C. TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTY Other than land under cityCity ownership, there are three two categories of tax exempt property. Said properties are to be assessed as follows: 1. e d resurfacing.

G. TAX FORFEITURE ASSESSMENTS MEI When a parcel of tax forfeited land is returned to private ownership, and the parcel is benefited by an improvement for which special assessments were canceled because of the forfeiture, the City may, upon notice and hearing as provided for the original assessment, make a reassessment or a new assessment as to the parcel in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid on the original assessment. H. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDIVISIONS The public improvement costs of new subdivisions shall be the sole responsibility of the property developer except consideration shall be given for assessing any other properties that receive special benefit from the improvements. I. ASSESSMENT OF NON -CITY ROADS The City reserves the right to assess its share of county road projects to properties along county roads in the same manner as city streets are assessed. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 12 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL SECTION 9: LOCAL IMPROVEMENT PROCESS A. INITIATION OF PROCEEDINGS Improvement project proceedings may be initiated in any one of the three (3) following ways: • Petition by not less than thirty five percent (35%) of the affected property owners determined by front footage. • Petition by 100% of the affected property owners. • By order of the City Council. B. PROCEDURAL STEPS FOR PROJECTS WHICH ARE NOT 100% PETITIONED An improvement project that is initiated by action of the City Council or by a 35% petition may be ordered only after a public hearing. The following are the procedural steps that must be followed by the City Council prior to the ordering of an improvement if it is not initiated by a 100% petition. 1. Feasibility Report. Prior to adopting a resolution calling a public hearing on an improvement, the City Council must secure from the City Engineer aor some other competent person of its selection a preliminary report advising it in a preliminary way:a.) as to whether the proposed improvement is necessary, cost-effective, and feasible;b.) and as to whether it should best be made as proposed or in connection with some other improvement; andc.) . The report must also include the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended. [See "Resolution Ordering a Preparation of Report on the Improvement" • - e ' _ _ _ " Form 4A, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] 2. Resolution Calling Public Hearing. The City Council must adopt a resolution calling a public hearing on the improvement project. Mailed and published notice of the hearing must be given as described in the next paragraph below. The notice of public hearing must include the following information: a.) the time and place of the public hearing; b.) the general nature of the improvements; c.) the estimated costs; and 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 13 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL d.) the area proposed to be assessed [See "Resolution Receiving Feasibility Report and Calling Hearing on Improvement" attached in the Appendix as Form 5 Form 5, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] Mailed Notice of Hearing to Property Owners Proposed to be Assessed. Not less than ten (10) days before the hearing, the notice of hearing must be mailed to the owner of each parcel in the area proposed to be assessed. For purposes of determining who is to receive notice, the owners of the property are those shown on the records of the county auditor, The owners of. For property that is tax exempt or subject to taxation on a gross earnings basis shall be as certifiedand not listed on the records of the county auditor, the owners may be ascertained by any practicable means. e. [See "Notice of Hearing on Improvement" - Form 66, LMC Special Assessment Too[kit] 4. Published Notice of Hearing. The notice of public hearing must be published in the city's legal newspaper at least twice, each publication being at least one week apart, with the last publication occurring at least three days prior to the hearing. 5. Resolution Ordering the Improvement. The resolution ordering the improvement must be adopted within six months of the date of the public hearing by a four-fifths vote of the City Council, unless the improvement was initiated by a thirty-five percent (35%) petition, in which event it may be adopted by a majority vote. The resolution may reduce, but not increase, the extent of the improvement as stated in the notice. [See "Resolution Ordering Improvement and Preparation of Plans" attached in the Appendix as Form 7 Form 7, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] C. PROCEDURAL STEPS FOR 100% PETITIONED PROJECTS Improvement projects, which are initiated by a 100% petition, may be ordered by the City Council without a public hearing if the petitioning property owners agree to pay 100% of the costs of the improvements. If any portion of the cost of the improvements including issuance costs of the bonds, such as discount, capitalized interest and legal fees, are not included in the amount assessed, but are to be repaid by an ad valorem property tax levy, a public hearing must be held. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 14 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL The following are the procedural steps for a 100% petitioned project: 1. Petition. The City Council must receive a petition which is both signed by all of the owners of the real property abutting any street named as the location of the improvement, and states that they agree to pay 100% of the cost of the improvements. [See " .. 0 : e• _ _ _ - - . - - -1 Petition for Local Improvement (100 percent of property owners)" — Form 1, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] as Form 1] 2. Resolution Determining Sufficiency of Petition and Ordering Improvement. Upon receipt of the 100% petition, the City Council must determine that it has been signed by 100% of the owners of the affected property, and that they have agreed to pay 100% of the costs of the improvements. After making this determination, the project may be ordered without a public hearing. D. ISSUANCE OF BONDS At any time after the City Council has ordered the improvements, the City Council may issue its general obligation bonds to finance the cost of the improvements in accordance with state law. In the event of any omission, error or mistake in any of the proceedings precedent to the ordering of the improvements, state law provides that the validity of the bonds will not be affected by such deficiencies. However, deficiencies in these proceedings may result in property owners successfully appealing the special assessments levied against their property. The resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds will contain covenants by the C+fy Council that at 0 and proceedings n Those two cov ants are necessary in order for the bonds to be issued without an e4ee#+en E. LETTING CONTRACTS 1. Ordering Plans and Specifications. After the ordering of an improvement project, the City Council must order the preparation of plans and specifications. This may be included as part of the resolution ordering the improvement. 550340v2 DTA LAI35-3 15 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL [See "Resolution Ordering Improvements and Preparation of Plans" attach- e - - - ` - _ - = Forms 7 and 7A, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] 2.

[See "Resolution Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering Advertisement for Bids" - - - _ - • - ` _ - - - _ • Form 9, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] 3. Award of Contracts. The City Council must either award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder or reject all bids. The contract must be awarded no later than one year after the adoption of the resolution ordering the improvement, unless the resolution ordering improvement specifies a different time limit. [See "Resolution Accepting Bid" attached in the Appendix as Form Form 20, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] If : a.) b.) 550340v2 DTA LAI35-3 -- the initial cost of the entire work does not exceed $25,000175,000; if no bid is submitted after advertisement; or 16 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL c.) if the only bids are higher than the engineer's estimate; the City Council may purchase the materials and order the work done by day labor or in any manner it deems proper. If the estimated cost exceeds $10,000,25,000, the work must be supervised by the City Engineer or some other qualified personregistered engineer. F. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES The cost of any improvement undertaken in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 429 may be specially assessed, in whole or in part, upon property benefited by the improvement, whether or not the property abuts on the improvement. The area to be assessed may be less than, but not more than, the area proposed to be assessed as stated in the notice of public hearing on the improvement. 1. Resolution Determining Amount to be Specially Assessed. After the expense incurred or to be incurred in the completion of an improvement has been calculated, the City Council must determine the amount it will pay and the amount to be specially assessed. [See "Resolution Declaring Cost to be Assessed and Ordering the Preparation of the Proposed Assessment" attachcd in the Appendix as Form 22- Form 12, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] The City Clerk, with the assistance of the engineer or other qualified person, must calculate the amount to be specially assessed against every parcel of land. The assessment roll must be filed with the City Clerk and available for public inspection. 2. Resolution Calling Public Hearing on Assessments. A public hearing on the special assessments must be held following published and mailed notice thereof as described below. [See "Resolution for Hearing on Proposed Assessment" — Form 13, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] The notice of public hearing must include the following information: a.) b.) c.) d.) e.) f.) 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 date, time, and place of the meeting; the general nature of the improvement; the area proposed to be assessed; the total amount of the proposed assessment; that the assessment roll is on file with the City Clerk; that written or oral objections will be considered; 17 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL g.) that no appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessments unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the City Clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing; h.) that the owner may appeal the assessment to the district court by serving notice on the Mayor or City Clerk within #-h-reethirty (3) g30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing notice with the court within ten (10) days after such appea[ teservice upon the Mayor or City Clerk; and i.) any deferment procedures established by the City Council for senior citizens. [See "Resolution Calling for Hearing on Proposed Assessments" attached 3. Published Notice. The notice of the assessment hearing must be published in the legal newspaper at least once, not less than two weeks prior to the hearing. 4. Mailed Notice. The City Clerk must mail notice of the assessment hearing to the owner of each parcel described in the assessment roll at least two weeks prior to the hearing. For purposes of giving maileddetermining who is to receive notice, the owners shall beof the property are those shown on the records of the county auditor, or in any city where tax records are mailed by the City Treasurer. . For property that is tax exempt or subject to taxation on a gross earnings basis and not listed on the records of the county auditor, the owners may be ascertained by any practicable means. The mailed notice must also include, in addition to the information required to be in the published notice, the following information: a.) the amount to be specially assessed against that particular lot, piece, or parcel of land; b.) adoption by the City Council of the proposed assessment may be taken at the hearing; c.) the right of the property owner to prepay the entire assessment and the person to whom the prepayment must be made; d.) whether partial prepayment of the assessment has been authorized by ordinance; e.) the time within which prepayment may be made without the assessment of interest; and f.) the rate of interest to accrue if the assessment is not prepaid within the required time period.

Adoption of Assessments. At the hearing or any adjournment thereof, the City Council may adopt the assessments as proposed or adopt the assessments with amendments. If the adopted assessment differs from the proposed assessment, the City Clerk must mail the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessment. Owners must also be notified by mail of any changes in interest rates or prepayment provisions from those contained in the notice of the proposed assessment. [See "Resolution Adopting Assessment" attached in the Appendix as= Form 2615, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] 6. Transmittal of Assessments to the County Auditor. After the adoption of the assessment, the City Clerk must transmit a certified duplicate copy of the assessment roll to the county auditor. [See "Certificate to the County Auditor" attached in the Appendix Form 17, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] as Forms 28 and 28A1 In the alternative, the City Council may direct the City Clerk to file the assessment roll in the Clerk's office and to certify annually to the county auditor, on or before October 10 in each year, the total installments of principal and interest thereon to become due in the following year. With the certification of the assessments to the county auditor, the procedures under Minnesota Statc Statutes, chapter 429 are complete. 'See "Alternative Certificate to the County Auditor — Annual Certification" - Form 17 -Alt, LMC Special Assessment Toolkit] SECTION 10: SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR CURRENT SERVICES The City Council may provide for the collection of certain service charges as a special assessment against the property benefiting from the service. Special charges that may be assessed include, but are not limited to, those as defined by Stateprovided in Minnesota Statutes..-, section 429.101. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 19 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL SECTION 11: CONDITIONS OF PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS Minnesota State Statutes, chapter 429, provide the City with considerable discretion in establishing the terms and conditions of payment of special assessment by property owners. Chapter 429 does establish two precise requirements regarding payment. First, the property owner has thirty (30) days from the date of adoption of the assessment roll to pay the assessment in full without interest chargccharged (429.061, subd. 3). Second, all assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period not exceeding thirty (30) years from the date of adoption of the assessment roll (429.061, subd. 2). The conditions of payment established in this section follow the requirements of Chapter 429 and seek to balance the burden of payment of the property owner with the financing requirements imposed by debt issuance. A. TERMS OF ASSESSMENT The City shall collect payment of special assessments in equal annual installments of principal for the period of years indicated from the year of adoption of the assessment roll by the following types of improvements: • Sanitary Sewer System Improvements 10-25 years • Water System Improvements 10-25 years • Street System Improvements (street, alley, curb and gutter) 10-25 years • Appurtenances 10-25 years • Improvement District 5-10 years In some cases, improvements that are undertaken could warrant longer or shorter terms. For example, a separate sidewalk improvement may be assessed over a five (5) year period because the costs may be nominal. Also, some major reconstruction projects with several types of improvements could lead to a very high assessment that could create a financial hardship if assessed over a ten (10) year term. A thirty (30) year term could be appropriate in this case. In any event, the assessment term should never exceed the potential life of the improvement. B. INTEREST RATE The City most often finds itself required to issue debt in order to finance improvements. Such debt requires that the City pay an interest cost to the holders of the debt with such interest cost varying on the timing, bond rating, size and type of bond issue. In addition, the City experiences problems with delinquencies in the payment of assessment by property owners or the inability to invest prepayments of assessments at an interest rate sufficient to meet the interest cost of the debt. These situations create immediate cash flow problems in the timing and ability to make scheduled bond payments. 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 20 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL Therefore, for all projects financed by debt issuance, the interest rate charged on assessments shall be 2.02% greater than the new interest on the bonds issued, or. For projects financed internally. the interest rate charged on assessments shall be 2% greater than the current investment rate if the project is fundcd internally. C. PREPAYMENT AND ASSESSMENT CERTIFICATION 1. Partial Prepayment. After the adoption by the City Council of the assessment roll in any local improvement proceeding, the owner of any property specially assessed in the proceeding may, prior, to the certification of the assessment of the first installment to the County Auditor, pay to the City any portion of the assessment. The remaining unpaid balance shall be spread over the period of time established by the Council for installment payment of the assessment. 2. Certification of Assessments. After the adoption of any special assessment by the City Council, the City Clerk shall transmit a certified duplicate of the assessment roll with each installment, including interest, set forth separately to the County Auditor on an annual basis to be extended on the proper tax lists to the County. SECTION 12: HARDSHIP DEFERRALS Minnesota Statc Statutes Chapterchapter 435.193, allows the City, atin its ownsole discretion, to defer the payment of any assessment for any homestead property owned bya person 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments: or (2) a person who is a member of the Minnesota National Guard or other military reserves who is ordered into active military service for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. A. POLICY In determining whether or not a ccnior citizenperson is eligible for deferral of spccial assessment installment paymentshereunder, the following criteria are established: • Effective Date. _ - • _ . - _ - _ _ - .. - - applies toDeferrals are only available for special assessments levied after the date of the Policy. • Application.

Hardship Defined. It shall be presumed that a hardship exists if: (a) the annual assessment installment exceeds 1 percent (1 %) of the previous year's total adjusted gross incomes, for Federal Income Tax purposes, for all owners of the property. In no event shall "total adjusted gross income" include Social Security benefits, railroad retirement benefits, retirement benefits attributable to employee contributions, disability benefits, personal injury awards or workmen's compensation payments; and (b) all owners of the property verify, under oath, that they meet the criteria for establishing a hardship by completing an application provided by the City; 4. Exceptional Cases. In cases where exceptional and unusual circumstances exist, the City Council may determine that a hardship exists despite the fact that -the minimum incomcother requirements as defined in this section do not exist. Such cases shall be decided by the City Council on a case-by-case basis. B. INTEREST Interest will be charged on any assessment deferred pursuant to this yPolicy at a rate equal to the rate charged on other assessments for the particular public improvement project that the assessment is financing. C. TERMINATION OF DEFERMENT The option to defer the payment of special assessments pursuant to this Q-rdinanccPolicy shall terminate and all installment amounts previously deferred, plus applicable interest, shall become due upon the occurrence of any of the following events: • Request of the property owner 5. Death of the property owner 65 years of age and older, providing theif any surviving owner is otherwise not eligible for the deferral • Sale, transfer, or subdivision of the property or any part thereof • The City determines that the hardship no longer exists • The property, for any reason, loses its homestead status 550340v2 DTA LA135-3 22 CITY OF LAUDERDALE ASSESSMENT POLICY MANUAL SECTION 13: FINANCING A. AUTHORITY At any time after one or more improvements are ordered, the City Council may issue obligations in such amount as it deems necessary to defray in whole or in part the costs incurred and estimated to be incurred in making the improvements. B. TYPES OF OBLIGATIONS Obligations used to finance public improvement projects are called improvement bonds. The proceeds from the sale of the improvement bonds are used to fund project costs. The improvement bonds are then paid off as the funds become available through collection of special assessments and any taxes levied for that purpose. Improvement bonds carry the City's general obligation pledge. C. METHOD OF ISSUANCE All improvement bonds shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of Minnesota State Statutes, chapter 475. If twenty percent (20%) or more of the cost of the improvement or improvements is to be assessed against benefited properties, no election is required prior to issuing the improvement bonds and the improvement bonds do not count against the City's statutory debt limit.

There- fore, at this meeting, the Council should provide a summary of its conclusions regarding my evaluation so that the public is given the opportunity to get the best possible sense of my performance. My current employment agreement was signed in 2015 and extended through the end of 2016 with an automatic two-year extension (through the end of 2018). I presented a renewal agreement that essentially changed the dates and added one clause regarding attendance at the annual International City/County Managers Association conference. The agreement is ready for adoption unless the Council would like to discuss further. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to enter into the Employment Agreement with Heather Butkowski-Hinrichs as pre- sented (or amended). EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is entered into this 22nd day of January 2019, by and between the City of Lauderdale, (hereinafter referred to as "City") and Heather Butkowski-Hinrichs, (hereinafter referred to as "Employee"). WITTNESSETH: WHEREAS, the City desires to continue Heather Butkowski-Hinrichs' appointment as City Administrator under the terms and conditions set forth herein; and WHEREAS, Heather Butkowski-Hinrichs wishes to continue serving as City Administrator under the terms and conditions set forth herein, NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows: Section 1. Duties The City hereby agrees to continue employing the Employee as the full-time City Administrator of Lauderdale to perform the functions and duties of City Administrator as specified in the attached job description and to perform such other legally permissible and proper functions and duties as the City Council from time to time shall assign. Section 2. Term A. The Employee shall serve from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2020. This agreement shall extend for an additional two-year period on the same terms and conditions as specified herein unless written notice of intent not to renew is given by either party to the other within 90 days before the expiration of any such two-year period. B. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with the right of the Employee to voluntarily resign at any time from the position of City Administrator, subject only to the provisions set forth herein. In the event the Employee does voluntarily resign her position with the City, she shall give the City 30 days advanced written notice thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Section 3. Termination and Severance Pay A. The City may discharge the Employee only by a majority vote of the full City Council. If a vacancy exists on the Council, the vacancy shall not be counted in determining the full City Council. B. In the event the Employee is terminated for any reason by the City Council, she shall be paid a lump sum cash payment equal to six months of aggregate salary and benefits at the time of her termination plus any unused vacation or sick leave that would be paid. C. If the Employee has been charged with a felony, then at the discretion of the City Council, the Employee may not be entitled to any lump sum payments whatsoever. Section 4. Compensation A. Beginning January 1, 2019, the Employee shall receive a salary of $103,867 annually (Step 5). Annual pay increases will be at the same rate afforded other staff or otherwise set by the City Council. B. Additionally, the City Council shall conduct a performance review of the Employee before November 30 each year. The City Council may consider a merit increase based on the Employee's overall performance. C. The City Council and the Employee shall develop a mutually agreeable method by which to conduct an evaluation and what criteria shall be used in the evaluation. Upon request of the Employee, and in agreement with the City Council, the City shall consider contracting with an outside neutral party to assist in the development of the process and criteria. Section 5. Dues, Subscriptions, and Registration Expenses The City agrees to budget for and to pay the professional dues and subscriptions of the Employee necessary for her full participation in associations and organizations necessary and desirable for her continued professional growth and development. Such memberships include, but are not limited to the International City/County Managers Association (ICMA), Minnesota City/County Managers Association (MCMA), and Metropolitan Administrator and Managers Association (MAMA). The City agrees to budget for and pay for the Employee's attendance at the annual ICMA Conference once every three years if it is the desire of the Employee to attend the conference. Section 6. Mileage and Subsistence The City recognizes the Employee is required to attend meetings in the Twin Cities metropolitan area in her official capacity and agrees to reimburse the Employee for mileage and reasonable subsistence expenses within the guidelines established by the City Council. Section 7. Vacation and Sick Leave The Employee shall continue to earn vacation and sick leave at the current level and shall advance in accrual rates based on City policy. Section 8. Insurance The City will pay the cost of hospital, medical, and life insurance for the Employee in the same amount it pays for other union and non-union City employees. Section 9. Other Terms and Conditions of Employment A. All provisions of City Ordinances, personnel policies, and regulations relating to vacation and sick leave; retirement and pension system contributions; holidays; and other fringe benefits and working conditions shall apply to Employee as they would to other employees of the City except as provided herein. B. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the City Council may fix, from time to time, such terms of employment regarding the Employee, provided such terms are not inconsistent with or in conflict with the provisions of this agreement, any other law, or ethics requirements established by the International City/County Management Association. C. The employment provided by this Agreement shall be for the Employee's sole employment. Recognizing that certain outside consulting or teaching opportunities provide indirect benefits to the Employee and the City, the Employee may accept teaching, consulting, or other business opportunities with the understanding that such arrangements shall not constitute interference with or a conflict of interest with her responsibilities under this agreement or present a potential violation of the ICMA Code of Ethics. Section 10. Defense of Employee The City agrees to defend the Employee in any civil action arising out of the Employee's performance of her duties in accordance with the requirements of state law. Section 11. General Provisions A. This document constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties. This Agreement shall be interpreted under the Laws of Minnesota. B. If any provision or portion thereof contained in this Agreement shall be held unconstitutional, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, shall not be affected, and shall remain in full force and effect. IN WITNESS THEREOF, the parties have signed and executed this Agreement, both in duplicate, on the day and year first above written.

They thought this was a great idea and suggested the Council tour the Pioneer Press Building in downtown St. Paul they just finished construction on. They said even though it is a historic adaptive reuse pro- ject, it illustrates the types of finishes and quality they focus on in projects. Staff suggests sometime between now and late February to do the tour in advance of their community meeting on March 19. We know finding a time everyone can go will be diffi- cult. If it proves to be impossible, staff will discuss alternate arrangements for those that can't make it at the selected time. If a quorum of the Council plans to tour together, staff will post notice of it as a "special meeting." OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion Action Resolution Work Session X Meeting Date January 22, 2019 ITEM NUMBER Comm. Plan 2019 Projects STAFF INITIAL APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: 2019 will be a big year with multiple city lead projects and non -city lead projects happening. Communication will be key to successful projects. To that end, staff is doing all we can to get as many people on the email distribution list as possible. We also anticipate more infor- mation coming from you as you have conversations with community members. This will be useful for putting out factual information and addressing immediate concerns. Staff, in speaking with council members, realize communication management is on your mind as well. While we are all cognizant of open meeting law rules, residents are not and may not understand that council members are only in contact with each other every other week. While communicating with residents can't violate the open meeting law, those con- versations can end up feeling like serials meetings as residents share what other council members have told them. Mayor Gaasch wanted to discuss these concerns up front to get perspective from the Council on how to handle communication around issues that go beyond relaying factual information and questions to those topics that the Council as a whole would need to address.
