Mayor Gaasch shared that she is a member of the League of Minnesota Cities board of directors.
One topic they have been discussing is cannabis edibles, and how to deal with the new
legislation given the lack of clarity provided by the legislature on how to regulate the products.
Councilor Grove stated that a Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting would
take place on August 11.
Public Hearings
A. Ordinance No. 22 04 Regarding Administrative Citations
During the previous meeting, the Council discussed diafts of an administrative citation ordinance
and a public safety nuisance fee ordinance. The purpose of the ordinances is to address properties
with condition and/or conduct issues that are hard to tackle via the criminal court system.
Carri Levitski from Rum Rivei Consultants (RRC) joined the meeting remotely to share how
RRC staff will use the administrative citations ordinance to tackle building and nuisance code
issues. Prior to joining RRC, Carri worked in community development for a couple of different
cities and utilized these tools.
Staff included the two draft ordinances along with a suggested fee schedule. If the fee schedule
needs revisions, the ordinances can be adopted at this meeting and the fee schedule at the next.
Mayor Gaasch opened the floor to anyone in attendance interested in addressing the Council.
Anna French, 1765 Eustis Street, asked the Council for clarity on who would be issuing the
citations. The citations will be issued by city staff and the building official. At this point, the
police department does not plan on issuing them.
There being nobody else interested in speaking, Mayor Gaasch closed the floor.
Councilor Pulford made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 22-04 adding Chapter 11 to
Title 1 of the Code of Ordinances Regarding Administrative Citations. This was
seconded by Councilor Dains and carried unanimously.
B. Resolution No. 072622A - Authorizing Publication of Ordinance No. 22 04 by Title and
Summary.

E . Ordinance No. 072622C — Interim Ordinance Authorizing Studies and Imposing a
Moratorium on the Sale of Cannabis Products
B utkowski explained that the legalization of edible cannabinoids by the state legislature this year
created a number of questions for cities on whether they should or should not take a role in
regulating the sale or location of the sale of these products such as they do alcohol and tobacco.
The League of Minnesota Cities and city attorneys throughout the state are taking a look at the
new law and trying to answer the questions being posed by their city clients. Because state law
has little by way of regulation of the product, it is being left up to cities. There is a strong
possibility the legislature will create additional regulations, but that would not happen until the
legislative session next year which leaves cities deciding what, if anything, to do now. Because
of the uncertainty around the issue, the City Council can adopt an interim ordinance to prohibit
the sale of the edible cannabinoids within the City for up to one year to research the issue.
Mayor Gaasch opened the floor to anyone in attendance interested in addressing the Council.
Anna French, 1765 Eustis Street, asked the Council for clarity in the language of the ordinance.
There being nobody else interested in speaking, Mayor Gaasch closed the floor.
Councilor Moffatt made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 22-06 adopting an Interim
Ordinance Authorizing Studies and Imposing a Moratoiium on the Sale of Cannabis
Products through June 30, 2023. This was seconded by Councilor Pulford and carried
unanimously.

D iscussion/Action Item
A. Resolution No. 072622D — Amending the 2022 Fee Schedule
B utkowski said staff amended the fee schedule to include the types of violations staff envision
enforcing through administration citations from adoption through the end of 2022. Based on how
well it works, more items could be added in 2023. Staff looked for feedback on the list but
especially on the fine level. Most of the fines were lower than the Roseville or Cambridge fees
we looked at, but also seem to have a level of reasonableness.
After Council discussion and amendments, Councilor Moffatt made a motion to adopt
Resolution No. 072622D Amending the 2022 Fee Schedule. This was seconded by
Councilor Grove and carried unanimously.
B . 2023 General Fund Budget Overview
Staff continue to work on a draft of the 2023 general fund budget. The main issues to work
through are inflation and staffing pressures. A few of the cost drivers for 2023 are:
• $63,182 or 7.93% increase in policing costs
• $14,757 or 2.8% decrease in LGA
• $4,639 or 21.4% increase for IT services
Without factoring increasing staffing costs, fuel costs, or any increases from any of our other
partners, the City has to address a $82,578 budgetary shortfall or about double our annual
general fund budget increase.
Butkowski suggested making a permanent annual contribution from the sanitary sewer fund and
the storm sewer fund to cover administrative overhead. Currently, there is some cost sharing with
these funds but they have never contributed to building repairs and maintenance, vehicle repairs
and maintenance, legal services, and legislative time to name a few. If the transfer is permanent,
the future impact is less as the enterprise funds are healthy and the expected transfers are small.
Another option proposed was to use some of the American Rescue Plan dollars to cover the
shortfall since the funds were designed for that, and create a short-term solution to reach an
acceptable levy increase. As these are non-recurring funds paying for recurring expenses, the
levy will eventually need to be raised to cover the costs. Ideally, by next year, prices will have
flattened and decisions can then be made based on the new reality.

STAFF INITIAL
2023 Budget and Levy
APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION:
Following is staff's first draft of the general fund budget for 2023. We don't have fiscal dis-
parities numbers yet so nothing can be finalized. The budget is much less conservative than
what we typically put together.
At the last meeting, we discussed the significant budgetary increases expected in 2023 and
options for addressing them. They key numbers for the discussion are in yellow on the reve-
nue page. In short, if the Council raised the local levy by the same percentage in 2022, the
expenses gap would be $46,850. This gap can be covered by the American Rescue Plan
Funds. In subsequent years those dollars can be addressed through transfers from the sani-
tary and storm sewer funds for the reasons we discussed previously.
As you review the budget, let staff know if any numbers jump out at you that we should dis-
cuss.

Snow and Ice Control Plan

DOCSOPEN-LA l3 5-3-8 1 1870.v2-7/28/22
Administrative Manual Section VII
D. GUIDELINES FOR SNOW AND ICE CONTROL
1. Introduction
The City of Falcon Heights believes that it is in the best interest of the public for the city
to assume basic responsibility for control of snow and ice on city streets. Reasonable ice
and snow control is necessary for routine travel and emergency services. The city will
provide this in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in mind safety, budget,
personnel and environmental concerns. City crews remove snow on local streets, streets
designated by contract within the City of Lauderdale, some public pathways, designated
city parking lots at City Hall, Community Park and Curtiss Field, and ice rinks.
2. Commencement of Operations
The city's Public Works Director will decide when to begin snow or ice control
operations on city streets. The criteria for that decision are:
a. Accumulation of 2 inches or more, with continual snowfall,
warrants commencement of plowing operations;
b. Drifting of snow may warrant partial or full operations
depending on conditions;
c. Icing of pavements may warrant partial or full sanding
operation depending on conditions;
d. Time of snowfall in relationship to anticipated level of use
of streets.
Snow and ice control operations are expensive due to personnel and equipment costs.
Consequently, street snowplowing operations will not generally be conducted for
snowfalls of less than 2 inches.
3. Procedures
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize any traffic obstructions. The snow
shall be pushed from left to right. The discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the
right-of-way without regard for driveways or sidewalks.
It is the city's goal to have the entire street system cleared after a "typical" snowfall in
approximately 5 hours. Depending on snowfall conditions, duration of the storm,
equipment and personnel, cleanup operations can fluctuate.
Page 1 of 5
One of the most frequent and most irritable problems in removal of snow from the public
streets is the snow deposited in driveways during plowing operations. Snow being
accumulated on the plow blade has no place to go but in the driveway. It is not possible
to comply with special requests or conduct special maneuvers in attempt to minimize
snow in driveways.
4. Priorities and Schedules
a. Street snowplowing
The city has designated Prior Ave. (off of Larpenteur Ave.) and Garden Ave.
(Hamline to Snelling Aves.) as top priorities. This classification is based on need
to provide access for emergency vehicle fire and medical services and for access
to the elementary school. Clearing of these streets is followed by the following
neighborhoods subject to weather conditions, weather forecasts, equipment, and
availability of crews.
Typical routes if equipment and crews are available:
hast Plow West Plow
1. Northome 1. University Grove
2. Northeast 2. Falcon Woods
3. Snelling West 3. Lindig/Tatum
4. Hollywood Court
Lauderdale Plow
1. Carl Street
2. Etc.
b. City Hall parking lot
Clearing of snow from the city hall parking lot will be the first priority of the
work week day for the Parks/Public Works staff. Evening and weekend snow
removal will be done at the discretion of the Public Works Director based on
scheduled meetings and facility rentals.
c. Public pathways
There are approximately 6 miles of paved public pathways for commuter and
recreational pedestrian use. The city will plow all trails and sidewalks that abut
city property and parks as conditions permit. Conditions that challenge the crews
ability to clear snow include: 1) recurring snowfalls resulting in snow
accumulation; 2) drifting 3) limited space for snow storage and 4) availability
and condition of the equipment. Pathway clearing is conducted by the
Page 2 of 5
Parks/Public Works staff between 8 00 am and 4:00 pm. A map of sidewalks and
trails in included as Appendix A to these guidelines.
d. Ice Skating Rinks
Ice rinks are maintained for the recreational pleasure of the community. Given
the high level of community use of the rinks outside of the traditional workday
and workweek, rinks are kept free of snow and open for use during these times.
Removal of snow from the ice rinks will be done at the discretion of the Public
Works Director. Generally, if a "weekend" snowfall should occur and cease prior
to noon Sunday, an attempt will be made to clear the rinks and make them
available for the weekend Generally, if a "weekday" snowfall ceases prior to
4:00 p m., an attempt will be made to make the rinks available for the evening.
Consideration of the following factors will be given in the scheduling of ice
rink snow removal: condition of pathways (passable), current weather conditions
and forces (favorable foi skating).
5. Use of Sand and Salt
The city limits the use of sand and salt because it can have adverse effect on the
environment. Application is limited to steep grades, curves and intersections and is not
intended to provide for widespread bare pavement during winter conditions. The city is
not responsible for damage to grass caused by the sand/salt mixture and therefore will not
make repairs or compensate residents for salt damage to turf areas in the right-of-way.
6. Property Damage
Snowplowing and ice control operations can cause property damage even under the best
of circumstances and care on the part of the operators. The most common types of
damage are to improvements in the right-of-way which extends about 10 to 15 feet
beyond the curb. The intent of the right-of-way is to provide loom for snow storage,
utilities, sidewalks and other city uses. The city will assume no liability for personal
property that is stored in the right-of-way. Damage to fences, tiees 01 other structures will
be repaired or replaced by the city if they are on private property and if the damage could
have been avoided. Tuif that is scraped or gouged by plow equipment will be repaired by
top dressing and seeding the following spring if the damage could be avoided. Residents
are requested to assist by watering the areas that are repaired. The city will assume
liability for mailboxes damaged during plowing, if it is determined that the plow made
direct contact with a mailbox. If a mailbox is damaged due to indirect contact, including
the force of snow, the city assumes no responsibility. Final cleaning adjacent to
mailboxes is the responsibility of each property owner.
7. Fire Hydrants
Page 3 of 5
Hach of the 150 or so fire hydrants scattered throughout the city are equipped with a
marker for the purpose of providing increased visibility during the winter season. In
addition the city will encourage residents to keep hydrants cleat of snow. Hydrants at
major intersections and covered by heavy snow from plows will be kept accessible as
needed and as feasible with city crews and equipment
8. Parking Restrictions
Providing quality snow removal on city streets requires the street to be free of vehicles or
other obstacles. Vehicles left parked on the street for extended periods of time created
significant operational problems for snowplow operators as well as safety problems due
to packed snow and ice remaining on the roadway around the vehicle.
Parking on city streets is not allowed after a 2 inch accumulation of snow. Vehicles must
remain off the streets for up to 48 hours or until a street have been plowed full -width
whichever comes first. In the instance that streets have been plowed but an additional 2
inches or more of snowfall occurs, vehicles must remain off the street (see City Code
Section 46 28). Any vehicle parked in violation of the City Code is subject to a parking
citation and is also declared to be a public nuisance. This nuisance may be abated by
removing and towing away vehicles under the direction of the Ramsey County Sheriff's
Department.
From November 15 to April 1, residents may park one passenger vehicle on the
unsurfaced portion of their front yaid. This provision only applies to properties with a
single -width driveway. The vehicle must be parked parallel to the driveway (see City
Code Section 113-310).
9. Responsibility of Property Owners
Residents and/or their contracted snow removal company must keep all snow on the
private property. It is a public nuisance to shovel or plow snow into or across the streets
or alleys.
Clearing of alleyways is the responsibility of property owners adjacent to the alley. The
alley must be cleared within 24 hours after snowfall has ended. Residents are encouraged
to manage the alley with one contractor so as to have a uniform plowing.
Some sidewalks in the city must be cleared by the adjacent property owners (see
Appendix A). Public sidewalks must be cleared of snow and ice within 24 hours after a
storm has ended. Failure to do so is a public nuisance. City staff will monitor the
sidewalks and will leave door hangers to remind residents of the sidewalk snow removal
regulations. Sidewalks that are not cleared in the appropriate timeframe may be cleared
by city staff or a contracted party. The cost of abatement will be billed to the property
ownei (see City Code Section 22-48). In only the most extreme instances will City staff
provide a courtesy plow of sidewalks that are not usually maintained by the City.
Page 4 of 5
If snow removal occurs during a day of trash collection, receptacles awaiting pickup
should be set back at least two feet behind the curb line, not in the street.
10. Information and Comments
Comments and complaints will be taken during normal working hours at city hall.
Complaints that warrant a short term response will typically be responded to within 24
hours of receiving the complaint, whenever feasible to do so.
