Anoka County replaces their dump trucks after 150,000 to 200,000 miles. He reported the City’s 3
dump truck has 29,000 miles on it. He understood the bottom plow needed to be replaced and he 4
recommended this work be done versus purchasing a new dump truck. He stated that by not 5
purchasing a new dump truck the City would be saving taxpayers $250,000. 6

shingles. 18

ordinances. 5

the order may have been mixed up. He supported the Council moving forward with the Ordinance 8
approval and staff can review the language further. 9

Council Member Smith explained she would not be going up to, nor would she be identifying any 24
squad car or ghost vehicle. She commented she did not have the authority to walk up to a federal 25

the City Councilmembers to do this, and she wanted to make it clear that she would not be taking 27
this action. 28
29
Council Member Meehlhause questioned if the intent of the policy language was to have a City 30
employee if they observe a vehicle in the City, report this to the City Administrator. 31
32
Council Member Gunn stated this was how she was reading the policy. 33
34
Council Member Smith expressed concern with the fact the City may be blowing the cover of 35
undercover federal agents working in the community. She did not support City officials taking 36
this action. 37
38
Mayor Lindstrom stated he anticipated suspicious vehicles calls will be made to the police 39
department and the police department could make a determination on what activity was occurring. 40
If it was determined there were federal agents conducting immigration activities, the City 41
Administrator would then be contacted and could take action. 42
43
Council Member Smith reiterated that there would be no penalty for federal agents operating in 44
the City, which led her to question why the City was passing this policy and ordinance in the first 45
place. 46

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 10222 Authorizing a Recruitment Process for the Police Intern
Position
Introduction:
Staff added the Police Intern position in 2024, which allowed Interns to work up to 16 weeks, assisting with
administrative duties (scanning documents, shredding, lite clerical and transporting items to the BCA);
Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO) duties (such as: Night to Unite; Festival in the Park, neighborhood
events; and taking informational reports with the NRO for child or adult protection; etc.), and assisting the
PD with special projects. The Intern receives an overview of the K9, Patrol, Investigations, SRO, SWAT,
CSO, and Administration/Support areas of the PD.
Discussion:
The Intern program allows Police Department Staff an opportunity to view potential candidates for Police
Officer openings; and, gives the Intern an opportunity to achieve an internship, earn wages, and discover
the meaning behind the Mounds View Police Departments core values: Integrity; Service; Commitment.
Staff recommend the Police Intern position compensated at $19.28/hour. This is a 4% increase from 2025.
The HR Committee supports the request for the Police Internship program to continue. Funding exists due
to the Evidence Technician reducing hours from full-time to part-time effective March 30, 2026.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
Create a culture where employees desire to work.
Financial Impact:
None, currently there is funding available as the Police Department recently reduced the Evidence
Technician from full-time to part-time status.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 10222, Authorizing a Recruitment Process for the Police Intern
Position.
Respectfully submitted,

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Mounds View City Council
From: Evan Monson, AICP, Stantec, City Planner
Item Title/Subject: Affordable Housing
Request: Proposed amendments to Title XI, Chapter 119 of the City Code
Introduction:
The City Council previously discussed the topic of affordable housing as a part of the strategic
planning process in Summer 2025, which led to the creation of an affordable housing policy being
drafted and discussed at multiple work sessions in 2025.
Discussion centered on how the city can use ‘inclusionary zoning’ as a tool to require a percentage
of new rental housing units within market-rate developments to be affordable to low- and middle-
income households (based on area median income or ‘AMI’). This policy would apply to rental
housing in developments with ten (10) or more units. Owner-occupied housing, and rental
developments with less than ten (10) units would be exempt from the policy. Staff prepared a
policy for the city to use moving forward, which was reviewed and approved by the Council at the
December work session meeting.
Discussion:
The City Council reviewed possible amendments to Chapter 119 (Rental Dwellings) of the city
code at the February work session; it was the consensus at this meeting to incorporate the
affordable housing policy into Chapter 119 of the city code at this time.
To incorporate the policy into Chapter 119, amendments are proposed to existing Section 119.002
(Definitions), as well as creating Sections 119.008 through 119.016 (proposed as the Affordable
Housing Policy sections). A draft ordinance that included the policy was reviewed by the City
Council at the March work session meeting.
The other proposed amendments included in the draft ordinance, as prepared by the City
Attorney, include new protections for tenants in rental housing. This includes required notices to
tenants and the city upon a change in ownership of a rental property with three (3) or more units,
when an owner is required to provide relocation assistance to a tenant, when a tenant can submit
a complaint, and penalties and administrative citations for violations of Chapter 119. These
amendments include changes to existing Section 119.002, as well as creating new Sections
119.030 through 119.034.

SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Mounds View hereby amends Title XI,
Chapter 119 of the Mounds View Municipal Code by adding the following section 119.008-
119.016 as follows:
AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY
119.008 PURPOSE AND FINDINGS
The city’s Affordable Housing Policy (referred to in this Chapter as “the Policy” or “this
Policy”) promotes high quality housing located in the community for households with a
variety of income levels, ages, and sizes to meet the city's goal of preserving and
promoting economically diverse housing options in our community. The city recognizes
the need to provide housing that is affordable to households with a broad range of income
levels to maintain a diverse population and to provide housing for those who live, work,
and play in the city. Without intervention, the trend toward rising housing prices in new
developments will continue to increase. As a result, this Policy is being adopted to ensure
that a reasonable proportion of new development includes units affordable to low- and
moderate-income households and working families. The requirements set forth in this
Policy further the goals in the city’s Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Plan to create and
preserve affordable housing opportunities. These requirements are intended to provide a
structure for participation by both the public and private sectors in the production of
affordable housing.
119.009 APPLICABILITY

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jeremiah Anderson, Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector
Item Title/Subject: Vacant Building Registration Ordinance 1057
Introduction: The attached vacant building registration ordinance 1057 has been
modified/finalized based on policy direction of the City Council at the February 2, 2026 and
March 3, 2026, work session and necessary best practices for implementation by the
Community Development Department.
Discussion: Enacting this vacant building registration ordinance will create a registry of
locations with property owner and responsible parties. This ordinance also requires creditors
to file a registration for properties in foreclosure as a means to identify potential vacant
properties. The identification and registration of vacant and foreclosure properties will
increase efficiency of code enforcement pertaining to property maintenance and City utility
billing and thus minimize hazards to persons and property as a result of the vacancy.
Ordinance 1057 requires owners of Residential dwellings vacant for more than 30 days to
register as vacant whereas owners of commercial building locations vacant more than 180
days are required to register as vacant. Owners who leave their residential dwelling on a
temporary basis for vacation purposes or to reside elsewhere during the winter season in
excess of 30 consecutive calendar days and have the intent to return are exempt from the
registration requirement. The draft ordinance provides owners a seasonal vacancy “Snow-
Bird” exemption and an ability to voluntarily register with no fee for vacant building
registration with applicable contact information provided to the Community Development
Department and a Trespass Authorization affidavit to authorize the Police Department to act
as an agent to serve trespass notice to unauthorized persons occupying their dwelling during
the vacancy and provide peace of mind.
Staff have been in communication with MuniReg, a private company that specializes in
tracking foreclosure properties and maintaining vacant building data for 36 Municipalities in
9 States. MuniReg’s online registration system supports municipal officials, homeowners,
and organizations. Ordinance 1057 includes language to allow the City to enter into an
agreement with a third party such as MuniReg to assist with identification, recordkeeping
and administration of the vacant building registration and foreclosure program and all
relevant information would be tracked and submitted to them and available securely to the
City. This would create an environment where minimal staff time is required to maintain and
operate the vacant building registration program and a third party such as MuniReg would
The Mounds View Vision
A Thriving Desirable Community Page | 2
receive compensation from the portion of the registration fees generated with the remainder
paid to the City. The records in this registry are classified as general nonpublic data “security
information” under Minnesota Statutes § 13.37.
Ordinance 1057 establishes fees for vacant building registration (VBR) of residential
dwellings, commercial buildings, and prolonged vacancy enforcement (PVE) for each. The
City Fee Schedule will be updated with Ordinance 1060 to reflect the policy direction
received from the Council at the March 2nd work session.
2026-2028 Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: The establishment of Vacant Building
Registration Ordinance 1057 is consistent with the strategy/goal “Maintain effective code
enforcement promoting responsible landlords and homeowners.” and “Encourage
landowners to maintain and take care of properties to ensure they are following codes and
rules.”
Financial Impact: There would be little to no financial impact if the City implements this
Ordinance and uses an outside third party to handle the administrative work.
Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the first reading and introduction at
this public hearing for Ordinance 1057.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeremiah Anderson
Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector

SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of Mounds View hereby includes Title IX:
General Regulations, Chapter 91, Sections 91.030 to 91.046 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code by adding the following text:
REGISTRATION AND REGULATION OF VACANT DWELLINGS AND BUILDINGS
91.030 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
It is the purpose and intent of this section to protect the public health, safety, and welfare
by establishing a vacant building, vacant dwelling and foreclosure identification,
registration and maintenance program to minimize hazards to persons and property as a
result of the vacancy. The City may utilize a third party to assist with identification,
recordkeeping and administration of this section, and all relevant information may be
submitted to them. This section further provides for the administration, enforcement, and
penalties associated with the same.
Ordinance No.
Page 3
91.031 FINDINGS.
(A) Improperly maintained and secured vacant and/or foreclosed buildings and
dwellings can become a hazard to the health and safety of people who may come
on or near the property and can adversely affect the aesthetic and economic
attributes of the City of Mounds View.
(B) The presence of improperly maintained and secured vacant buildings and
dwellings may constitute a threat to the public health, general welfare, and safety
of Mounds View residents and visitors.
(C) Vacant commercial buildings and residential dwellings may attract trespassers and
criminal behavior. Neglected and unauthorized use of vacant buildings and
dwellings creates a risk of fire, explosion, or flooding of the vacant dwelling or
building and adjacent properties.
(D) Vacant premises are often used as dumping grounds for junk, appliances,
hazardous materials, debris, inoperable equipment and often have an unkempt
appearance including long grass and weeds that foster blight, and often become
a public nuisance with harborage for rodents or other pests.
(E) Vacant buildings and dwellings that are boarded up to prevent unauthorized entry
during prolonged vacancy discourage economic development and delay the
appreciation of surrounding property values.
(F) There is a substantial cost to the city for monitoring vacant buildings and dwellings
regardless of whether they are boarded or not. This cost should be borne by those
responsible for the vacancy and not by the general taxpayers of Mounds View. It
is the responsibility of the owner or responsible party to prevent a vacant building
or dwelling from becoming a burden to the neighborhood and a threat to the public
health, safety, or welfare.
91.032 ADOPTION OF STATE LAW
M.S. § 463.251, in its entirety, and any future amendments to said statute are adopted

conditions, the city may commence abatement and recover its costs for correction of
those items in accordance with city code and State Statutes. In the case of an absent

act to the owner. A single notice by the Community Development Department to the
owner that it intends to provide ongoing abatement until the owner corrects the items
shall be sufficient.
Ordinance No.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jeremiah Anderson, Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector
Item Title/Subject: Ordinance 1058 Amending Title IX: Business Regulations Chapter 19
Introduction: At the January 5, 2026 work session the City Council provided staff with
policy direction to remove the requirement that City utility billing is paid in full prior to
renewing the Rental Dwelling License.
Discussion: Consistent with City ordinance the Community Development Department
emails the rental license renewals in November to satisfy the 30-day requirement prior to
their expiration December 31st of each year.
Current City policy is to certify delinquent/unpaid City utilities to the property taxes in
December each year. Ordinance 1058 removes the requirement in Chapter 19 that City
Utility billing is paid in full prior to renewing the rental dwelling license.
2026-2028 Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: The review of rental license language is
consistent with the goal “Ensure housing rental program is robust, easy for landlords to
understand and follow and apply to and enforce.”
Financial Impact: Utility billing payment from delinquent/unpaid utilities is delayed
approximately one year when certified to property taxes and collected by Ramsey County.
Recommendation:
1. Staff is recommending approval of first reading and introduction of ordinance 1058.
Respectfully submitted,
Jeremiah Anderson

use of HRA Levy funding to include entrepreneurship and business programming and
necessitated the creation of the Ramsey County Economic Development Authority (EDA).
The Bill approved by the Legislature in 2025 contains two provisions,
(1) the Ramsey County EDA does not have tax levy authority, and
(2) Cities within the County’s HRA Area of Operation is required to ‘Opt-In’ to
business programming by the Ramsey County EDA.
The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners legally established a Ramsey County EDA
through Resolution B2025-229 dated December 2, 2025, and by filing a Secretary of State
Certificate of Approval December 16, 2025.
Resolution No. 10223 is a formal declaration to “Opt-In” as a participant in Ramsey
County’s EDA Area of Operation, and supports the County in is EDA use, funding, and
programs.
Discussion:
Approving Resolution No. 10223 allows the City to participate in the Area of Operation for
Ramsey County EDA entrepreneurship and business programing. Not approving
Resolution No. 10223 effectively excludes the City of Mounds View from the Area of
Operation and its business programing. The Council to discuss the “Opt-In” decision.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
A progressive city that is welcoming and desirable destination to all ages and cultures,
who seek progress through partnership, and a place where residents can live, work and
play safely and show pride in the community.
Financial Impact:
None

Kari Collins, Deputy County Manager, Economic Growth & Community Investment
RE: Ramsey County EDA Implementation Next Steps
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Ramsey County’s housing and redevelopment
programming. I look forward to the continued partnership in ensuring all in Ramsey County
are valued and thrive.
I am reaching out to provide you with information regarding the next steps to enhancing
programming for entrepreneurs and small businesses as result of last year’s approved ‘EDA
Bill.’ On December 2nd, 2025, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners took an initial step
to formally create the Ramsey County Economic Development Authority. This was a required
first step, prior to the beginning of this year’s legislative session, but it is the first of many steps
required to allow enhanced business programming to be funded through the Ramsey County
Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy.
While the legislation allowed for the creation of the Ramsey County Economic Development
Authority (EDA), it outlined two important conditions:
1.The EDA will have no taxing authority. This was intentional as the EDA will only
receive and spend funding from the existing Ramsey County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy. Expansion of the HRA to include EDA powers, as
described by state statute, allows the county to utilize a portion of HRA levy funding for
purposes of small business support and enhanced business programming.
2.Each City is required to ‘Opt In’ to this enhanced business programming.
‘Opt-In’ Process
The process for a City to Opt-in requires a city resolution by June 1, 2026. Receipt of
approved resolutions from cities will create a map that shows the EDA’s Area of Operation.
Ramsey County would then establish the EDA Area of Operation on or by June 15th, 2026.
Enhanced business programming will begin January 1, 2027. A draft resolution for city council
approval is provided below.
Tentative Programming
Tentative plans continue to plan for an allocation of $1.5 - $2 million yearly from the existing
Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy towards business focused programming.
Programming and total budget allocation have not yet been formalized as the County awaits
ITEM 08E
final decisions from cities regarding their intent to opt-in. While the approved EDA’s Area of
Operation is a critical consideration to determining the scale and scope of final programming,
we have identified five core focus areas for enhanced business support and growth
programming. These areas include (further details below):
• Improve the capacity of Business Support Organizations
• Expand technical assistance service offerings to businesses
• Create new cohort-based learning opportunities
• Establish data gathering, research & reporting capabilities
• Provide direct support to projects and businesses that deliver business growth
Please note: The County’s existing portfolio of business programming (Open to Business, CEO
Next, CEO Now, and RamseyCountyMeansBusiness.com) remains unchanged for this year.
Please reach out if you would like to further discuss this process and/or tentative programming,
including any additional questions. Lastly, while it is not expected, if you are able to
communicate your council’s intentions ahead of the June 1st deadline that would be
appreciated.
Proposed Core Programmatic Areas for Enhanced Business Programming
Improve the Capacity of Business Support Organizations
Business Support Organizations (BCOs) are important lifelines to entrepreneurs and
small businesses. Any many instances BCOs are a first stop of businesses looking
to get a business started, navigate regulatory and technical hurdles, and seek
financing. As the County, we saw first-hand during recent crises and business
interruptions that our BCOs require resources to effectively and proactively respond.
The ongoing Business Reimagination Center initiative is piloting efforts in 2026
that support capacity of BCOs. This piloted effort will inform future programming.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Expand Technical Assistance Service Offerings to Businesses
Small businesses often seek a myriad of technical assistance services in order for
them to growth and prosper. The County currently invests in the Open to Business
program that offers no cost direct technical assistance and other forms of support to
small business owners and entrepreneurs. Enhanced technical services support
general business challenges like accounting, marketing, digital literacy and/or could
support business sectors. The ongoing Business Reimagination Center initiative
is also piloting new and enhanced technical services that will inform future
programming.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Create New Cohort-Based Learning Opportunities
Cohort-based learning programs like CEO Next and CEO Now allow business
leaders to learn with and alongside their peers. CEO Next and CEO Now are a
regional partnership with Hennepin County. Hennepin County currently operates
these programs. Ramsey County is exploring possibilities for Ramsey County only
cohorts as well as cohorts serving business at different growth stages.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Establish Data Gathering, Research & Reporting Capabilities
Data is everywhere, and it is increasingly playing a role in business growth and
innovation. Decision making driven by robust data can create transformational
impacts in assisting businesses in their growth, as well as support more robust and
coordinated business retention, expansion and attraction efforts by the county and
cities.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Provide Direct Support to Projects and Businesses That Deliver Business
Growth
Accelerate business growth by providing direct, targeted support to projects and
businesses with strong economic potential through mechanisms such as grants, low-
interest loans, etc.
High Level Budget Estimate: $1,000,000

Statutory Change Expanding Use of Ramsey County
Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
SF 2521 (Hawj) HF 2349 (Lee)
Small businesses are the backbone of Ramsey County. It’s critical to our region that we continue to
invest in our business community in the wake of the pandemic. Ramsey County seeks to amend the
HRA statutory language to expand authority to better support diversifying industries, communities,
and emerging entrepreneurs as best as possible.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is Ramsey County not just revising its Housing and Redevelopment Authority to include business
programming as an allowable use? Why is establishment of an economic development authority included in
this legislation?
A: Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority is established under state statute. The state statute is
narrowly worded to the support and funding of affordable housing and redevelopment projects and programs.
Small business programming is defined as allowable uses with economic development authorities. Ramsey
County does not currently have an economic development authority. Based on legal guidance, the proposed
legislation expands the powers of the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority through the
establishment of an economic development authority.
Will this legislative change result in a new property tax to Ramsey County property owners?
A: No. This legislative change has no change on property taxes. This legislative change simply expands the list
of eligible activities in which Ramsey County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy is used. The text
change would additionally add programming for entrepreneurs and small businesses as an eligible use for the
Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy.
What is the county seeking from Ramsey County cities? If the legislation is successful, what is required from
Ramsey County cities?
A: The County does not require approval from Ramsey County cities for this proposed legislation. The County
does however seek support from our cities for this legislation.
If the legislation is successful, cities within the existing Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority
area of operation will have the choice whether to:
•Opt-in: A city that chooses to opt-in will receive the greatest flexibility of eligible programming. In
addition to the current portfolio of affordable housing and redevelopment programing, business
programing will be provided. City Councils will be asked to pass resolutions ‘opting-in’ by June
2025. With the first year of HRA levy funded business programming occurring in 2026.
•Opt-out: A city that chooses to opt-out will continue to receive the current portfolio of affordable
housing and redevelopment programing.
The City of North Saint Paul is not to be a part of the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Area of Operation. There is no change to North Saint Paul as a result of this legislation.

• Site Assessment Grants. Supported 16 projects with site investigation in 2024.
▶ HRA 2023 Annual Report – Highlights (2nd year of operation)
• Affordable Housing Investments. $6.15M of HRA levy obligated to affordable housing projects in
2023. Across all funding streams, County invested in the construction of 1,365 new and 767
preserved rental housing units in 2023. Of the total, 988 were classified as deeply affordable for
residents earning at or below 30% Area Median Income.

development planning, commercial corridor initiatives (suburban only) and development and
infrastructure
• Site Assessment Grants. Program initiated in late 2023. Supported one project in 2023.
▶ HRA 2022 Annual Report – Highlights (1st year of operation)
• Affordable Housing Investments. $7.2M of HRA levy obligated to affordable housing projects in
2022. Across all funding streams, Ramsey County leveraged multiple funding sources in 2022 to
bring dozens of affordable housing projects closer to realization and invested in the construction
of 1,128 new rental housing units and preserved 1,029. Of the total, 571 are classified as deeply
affordable for residents earning at or below 30% Area Median Income.
• FirstHome Down Payment Assistance. In Fall 2022, County relaunched its down payment
assistance program to better align with market realities and offer first-time and first-generation
homebuyers with down payment assistance. $187,500 in down payment assistance loans
disbursed in 2022.
• Critical Corridors. Established in the Fall 2022, 14 grants in its first round of solicitations, totaling
roughly $2.3 million in three core areas: pre-development planning, development and
infrastructure, and commercial corridor initiatives.
Will this change result in Ramsey County shifting its focus from supporting the preservation and expansion of
deeply affordable housing?
A: No. Ramsey County remains focused on the improving affordable housing infrastructure throughout the
county. The MN Legislature made unprecedent investments in housing and housing infrastructure as part of the
2023 Legislative session. The Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) or housing sales tax is estimated to bring
resources comparable to that of the HRA levy. This additional funding for affordable housing allows for a slight
adjustment of funding priorities of the HRA levy without deviating from the County’s primary focus on
expanding and improving affordable housing infrastructure.
Who decides on funding priorities on HRA Levy?
A: Ramsey County HRA Board is responsible for establishing funding priorities and make final decisions
regarding spending of HRA levy. While the County HRA outlines its priorities, it relies on city partners as well as
community organizations and developers to ready important projects. Prior to the county’s funding in a project,
projects are required obtain a municipal resolution in support in accordance with state statute.
EDA and business programming
What type of business activities does the County intend to do with this legislative change?
A: The County is responding to community requests for enhanced business programming. The small business
support (EDA eligible activities) realized by this legislative flexibility would be a strong reelection of those local
requests and would initially start at $1.5 - $2 million of our yearly HRA levy to ensure the bulk of resources are
remain available and prioritized for housing programs and projects. Funding will continue to align with HRA levy
spending directives where 50% of HRA levy spending occurs in suburban Ramsey County and 50% with the City
of Saint Paul. Areas of need identified to strengthen the small business ecosystem are informed by the County’s
involvement and engagement with cities, business support organizations and small businesses that include: ▶ Capacity building of small business support organizations to meet current and future needs ▶ More technical assistance/advisory services to better serve targeted geographies, communities and/or
industries ▶ Additional flexible capital to enable greater business retention, expansion and attraction
Did the County attempt to form an EDA previously?
A: During the 2024 Legislative Session, Ramsey County introduced proposed legislation amending HRA statutory
language and establishing an EDA to allow for business programming to be an eligible use of Ramsey County
HRA levy funding. HF 3784 (Lee) / SF 4655 (Hawj) was later amended based on feedback from cities. A redlined
version, including a memo from the County Attorney’s office describing the changes is available. The current
draft version for the 2025 Legislative session of the bill reflects this city feedback in 2024.
In 2016, the County did submit legislation that would have created a Ramsey County EDA. The legislation was
pulled by the County following community concerns around the creation of a new taxing authority. The
county’s current legislation would not create a new taxing authority as it merely allows for additional eligible
uses (i.e. business programming) of the County’s existing Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
Does Ramsey County provide business programming? If so, what programs? How much does it spend? And
how does it pay for business programs?
A: Ramsey County provides limited business programing. The County funds the programming through the
County’s general property tax levy. Current business programming totals $345,000. ▶ Entrepreneur support: Open to Business – Provides no cost direct technical assistance and other forms
of support to small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. This program was expanded
countywide in 2019 in response to direct city requests for this program. ▶ Small Business Growth: Ramsey County has two cohort-based leadership programs geared for
established businesses. Both programs are a partnership with Hennepin County.
• CEO Next – Group learning leadership program for CEOs/founders of second stage businesses
that are growth-minded ($1M-50M in revenues, 10-99 employees, etc.)
• CEO Now – Group learning leadership program for CEOs/founders of first stage businesses that
are growth-minded ($250K-2M in revenues, more than one employee, operating for two years,
etc.) Newly established in 2024. ▶ Marketing & attraction programming: RamseyCountyMeansBusiness.com An online portal providing
workforce and economic development resources throughout the county to current and prospective
businesses and investors. This online portal went live in 2019 and was refocused during the pandemic as
a central repository for covid business relief resources. A redesign of the portal is underway and will be
live in early 2025.
How do other metro counties support business programming and how did they obtain
authority to provide economic development activities?
A: Hennepin County received special legislation (MN Statute 383B.79) - A multijurisdictional reinvestment program
is authorized involving Hennepin County, the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and one or
more of the following political subdivisions: the cities of Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, and other interested statutory
or home rule charter cities in Hennepin County, the Minneapolis Park Board, the Three Rivers Park District, and any
watershed district entirely or partially located in Hennepin County. The multijurisdictional program may include plans
for housing rehabilitation and removals, industrial polluted land cleanup, water ponding, environmental cleanup,
community corridor connections, corridor planning, creation of green space, acquisition of property, development and
redevelopment of parks and open space, water quality and lakeshore improvement, development and redevelopment
of housing and commercial projects, economic development, and job creation. ▶ Hennepin County utilizes Housing and Redevelopment Authority funding for a variety of economic
development programs including their CEO Next and Elevate Business platform. Due to the broader
nature of this statute, this has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Dakota County has a Community Development Agency. Under MN Statute 383D.41, subdivision 7, After
December 31, 1999, the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority shall be known as the Dakota County
Community Development Agency. In addition to the other powers granted in this section, the Dakota County
Community Development Agency shall have the powers of an economic development authority. ▶ A core focus of local Community Development Agencies (CDAs) is the ability to own and operate
affordable housing. Ramsey County has expressed no interest in owning and operating affordable
housing, so this the CDA statute has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Washington County has a Community Development Agency. In 2016, Washington County successfully sought
special legislation to amend their Housing & Redevelopment Authority and created a Community Development
Agency. Under MN Statute 383D.41, section 2, subdivision 2a, Request to handle economic development, housing,
or redevelopment duties. The governing body of a statutory or home rule charter city or township with an existing
municipal economic development authority may request the Washington County Community Development Agency to
handle the economic development, housing, or redevelopment duties of the authority and, in such an event, the
Washington County Community Development Agency shall act and have exclusive jurisdiction for economic
development, housing, or redevelopment duties in the statutory or home rule charter city or township pursuant to the
provisions of the Economic Development Authorities Act, Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.090 to 469.1081. ▶ A core focus of local Community Development Agencies (CDAs) is the ability to own and operate
affordable housing. Ramsey County has expressed no interest in owning and operating affordable
housing, so this the CDA statute has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Scott County and Carver County each have a Community Development Agency. CDA’s provide the most diverse
array of eligible programing for housing, redevelopment and economic development uses.
