A. Resolution 17-057; a Resolution Supporting Hennepin County’s Efforts Seeking 2
Approval for a Functional Class Upgrade of Kenzie Terrace and St. Anthony Boulevard. 3
4
Mr. Nate Hood and Mr. Jason Piper were present at the meeting representing Hennepin County 5
Planning. 6
7
Mr. Nate Hood reviewed Hennepin County is requesting support from the City of St. Anthony 8
Village to seek a functional classification change request to the Metropolitan Council for Kenzie 9
Terrace (CSAH 153) and a short segment of St. Anthony Boulevard to obtain a higher functional 10
classification status. This functional reclassification change is being requested to provide 11
eligibility for the Regional Solicitation that is administered every two years by the Metropolitan 12
Council. Currently, Hennepin County has not allocated any funds towards CSAH 153 (Lowry 13
Avenue Northeast/Kenzie Terrace); however, County staff is aware of the current needs along 14
the corridor, specifically related to pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, along with driveway 15
access. The summary of the request from Hennepin County was provided for Council review. 16
Mr. Hood noted the figures in the request illustrate that Hennepin County is seeking to reclassify 17
Lowry Avenue, Kenzie Terrace and St. Anthony Boulevard from CSAH 81 (Broadway Avenue) 18
to CSAH 88 (New Brighton Boulevard). A PowerPoint presentation was made outlining the 19
specifics of the request. Mr. Hood described the Lowry Avenue NE Corridor Plan. The County 20
has completed the Lowry Avenue NE Corridor and Implementation Framework Plan that 21
outlines improvements to Lowry Avenue from Marshall Street Northeast to Stinson Boulevard. 22
There are no current plans for the reconstruction of Kenzie Terrace or St. Anthony Boulevard. 23
24
Councilmember Jenson asked if the change is made, will the Council have an opportunity to 25
approve the change. Mr. Hood stated Hennepin County would like to work with the City on any 26
potential future project. 27
28
Councilmember Stille asked about the timing. Mr. Hood stated there is no plan at this time to 29
reconstruct the roadway within the next five years. They would work with the City after that on a 30
potential project. Councilmember Stille asked where the money comes from and Mr. Hood stated 31
federal funds would be applied for and possibly some local funding. This is more of a technical 32
change for the segment of road including Lowry. 33
34
Mayor Faust noted this is being done for future safety regarding access points and future funding 35
outside Hennepin County. 36
37
Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 17-38

breakdown were reviewed. The total cost of the projects would be $2,741,400 with $773,275 12
through Special Assessments and $1,968,125 City Costs. Mr. Hubmer reviewed the Project 13
Schedule and noted residents can receive email/text notifications through the City website. 14
15
Councilmember Stille noted this is a rather rare project as it occurs in high-density residential 16
areas and asked how will traffic be handled. Mr. Hubmer stated the project will only close 17
portions of the road during construction. The roadway will need to remain accessible. 18
Councilmember Stille asked if during the splash pad boring could the drainage issue be looked at 19
nearby. Mr. Hubmer stated they will look at that area. 20
21
Mayor Faust asked how many people sign up for the email/text notifications. Mr. Casey stated it 22
is well received and there are 152 people currently signed up. 23

sidewalk is nearing completion and the wiring for the intersections are in the ground. The street 36
project is moving along and curb and gutter should be in by the end of next week. There was a 37
discussion on the walls and they were the right tool for the job. 38

City Planner Rothstein provided the background of the case stating applicant John Flagg, the 6
owner of the property at 3017 Croft Drive, is proposing a 10-foot lot line adjustment and 7
subsequent parcel transfer to his property from the parcel to the north (3021 Croft Drive, owned 8
by Sothamith Chau). The purpose of the lot line adjustment and parcel transfer is for the existing 9
driveway access to 3017 Croft Drive. Ms. Rothstein showed a map indicating the property. The 10
applicant proposes adjusting the lot line between 3017 and 3021 Croft Drive to ensure the 11
driveway is located entirely on his property. Ms. Rothstein referred to the applicable City Code. 12
A Quit Claim Deed has been signed by both property owners. 13
14
Mayor Faust asked if the property is torrenced or will be torrenced. Ms. Rothstein stated the 15
property is torrenced according to the Quit Claim Deed. Mr. Flagg did not create the problem. 16
17
Councilmember Stille asked why this didn’t come through the Planning Commission and Ms. 18
Rothstein stated the Council can waive Planning Commission review and public hearing. Mr. 19
Casey stated adopting this resolution will satisfy what needs to be done. 20
21
Mayor Faust asked Mr. Flagg if he had anything to add and Mr. Flagg thanked Council. 22
23
Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to adopt Resolution 17-24

E. Resolution 17-060; a Resolution Approving the Joint Cooperation Agreement Regarding 34
Public Safety Related to the 2018 National Football League Super Bowl Security. 35
36
City Manager Casey reviewed a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Minneapolis for the 37
2018 Super Bowl. The event runs from Friday, January 26, 2018 to February 4, 2018. The 38
impact to the City of Minneapolis and surrounding areas will require support from local, state, 39
and federal law enforcement agencies. The Minneapolis Police Department has indicated they 40
cannot do this without significant assistance from law enforcement partners from around the 41
area. The City of Minneapolis is looking for agencies willing to commit full-time licensed 42
personnel to work alongside the Minneapolis PD in various operational roles. Wage 43
reimbursement is available for assigned law enforcement personnel as part of a Joint Powers 44
Agreement (JPA). Personnel will be paid straight and overtime rates in accordance with the JPA 45
and reimbursement is limited to personnel costs only. Mr. Casey explained assigned personnel 46

will be working under the direction of a unified command structure. Liability insurance will be 1
provided for police personnel as outlined in the JPA. Workers compensation coverage will 2
remain with the sending agency. The JPA has been reviewed and approved by the LMCIT. 3
Minneapolis will require that personnel assigned be in good standing within their respective 4
agencies, and are able to report with an assigned radio, a seasonally appropriate uniform, and a 5
traffic control vest. Shifts will be primarily ten hours in length, between 0700 – 2400 hours, 6
depending on the duties of each assignment. Staffing of St. Anthony personnel will be done on a 7
volunteer basis. Any St. Anthony personnel who commit to work this detail will do so during off 8
duty time that does not interfere with their scheduled patrol shifts. This will ensure that staffing 9
to meet the needs of the citizens of St. Anthony will not be diminished. 10
11
Councilmember Jenson noted each officer that volunteers will be treated as an independent 12
contractor. 13
14
Mayor Faust noted the City is not bound to send anyone. 15

DATE: September 12, 2017
TO: Mark Casey, City Manager
FROM: Shelly Rueckert, Finance Director
ITEM: 2018 Preliminary Levy / General Fund Budget
At the August 22th City Council meeting, the City Staff presented the proposed 2017 General
Fund Operating Budget and the 2018 Overall levy. Additionally, a public hearing was held May
9th for public input on the budget process.
City Staff is reaffirming the proposed 2018 overall levy of $6,850,011. The 2018 proposal
represents an increase of $399,226 or a 6.19% increase from 2017.
The components of the 2018 proposed preliminary levy are as follows:
The standard parameters for preparing the General Fund Budget and Levy include:
• City revenues budgeted using current run rates for sources that are subject to trends and
conservative baseline estimates for re-occurring aids and charges for services.
• Expenses budgeted at amounts that will maintain present level of City services.
• Liquor transfers are based on current operating results.
2017 $ Change 2018 % Change
General Fund 3,573,493$ 402,041 3,975,534$ 11.25%
HRA 157,800 4,734 162,534 3.00%
CIP 233,200 - 233,200 0.00%
Road Improvement Debt 1,827,208 6,223 1,833,431 0.34%
Lease Revenue Bonds 361,207 (16,325) 344,882 -4.52%
Tax Abatement 224,877 2,553 227,430 1.14%
Building Improvement Fund 73,000 - 73,000 0.00%
Total 6,450,785$ 399,226$ 6,850,011$ 6.19%

The General Fund Budget and Levy cost drivers are as follows
Each year the General Fund revenue and expenditure budget line items are examined for
changes in expected collections/charges, labor adjustments, changes in contract rates,
insurance rates, utility costs, usage of various materials or needs, etc. The findings of this
examination produce the drivers associated with the proposed 11.25% increase in the General
Fund Levy - see below:
• Personnel costs - 71% of expenditures, overall costs are down $220,202 or 4.34%
• The Unions wage increases at the 2018 contracts amounts.
• Health Insurance premium increase of 9% is shared 50/50 by City and the Union
and Non-union employees Consistent with the Union contracts.
• Union Longevity and Step increases
• Reflects the reduction of three police officer positions and absorbing the cost
sharing of supervisory positions previously funded by the Falcon Heights police
contract.
• Contracted services - 8% of expenditures, overall decrease of $31,135
• Public Works Miscellaneous contract costs lower by $10,334
• Contracted planning costs shared with HRA Fund reducing General Fund cost by
$14,925
• School district portion of Ramsey County Elections contracted services billed
directly to School district in 2018 – $4,037
• Other Insurance costs – 3.5% of expenditures, overall costs lower by $18,858 or 7.38%
• Property, casualty and liability costs increased by 2%
• Worker’s compensation costs decreased by 16%
• Pass through costs – 5.5% of expenditures, up $11,905 or 3.37%, in turn certain revenues
increase
• Higher gasoline costs / Higher gasoline reimbursements
• Higher Permits / Higher Building inspection fees
• Remaining budget line items - 12% of expenditures or $855,216, net cost up $1,442 or
0.17%
• Transfer of Liquor operating profits reduced by $50,000 in 2018 to maintain sufficient
working capital within the Liquor fund.
• Reduction in Charges for Services of $653,772 substantially represented by the
termination of the police services contract with the City of Falcon Heights.
• For the 2017 levy process the future costs associated with the officer involved shooting
were not included into the levy. During 2016 these costs were paid by the General Fund.
The 2016 General Fund ending fund balance was within the City’s targeted fund balance
range. Staff has employed the same approach for the 2018 levy process. Staff will review
status of fund balance at year-end. Fund transfers or inter-fund loans may be proposed if
needed to maintain minimum fund balance.
20
The HRA Budget and Levy cost driver is substantially personnel costs. Therefore the proposed
Levy increase for the HRA is 3.00% or $4,734.
The 2018 Debt Related Levies are proposed to decrease by $7,549 over the 2017 combined
levies. A debt levy reduction program (Peak to Plateau) began in 2014 to stabilize the annual
increase in levies created by the annual street reconstruction plan. Without the use of resources
committed to this program the impact of 2018 street bonds issued along with existing debt
service requirements would have required an additional 6.98% increase in the overall Levy
Upcoming Budget meetings
The final presentation of the 2018 Budget and Property Tax Levy is scheduled for the December
12, 2017 Council Meeting. At the meeting, Staff will present a recap of the 2018 Budget and the
impact of the 2018 Property Tax Levy.

Re: Mirror Lake Temporary Draw Down
Mirror Lake Stormwater Quality Improvement Project
City of St. Anthony Village
WSB Project No. 1626-79
Dear Resident:
Due to the warm weather last winter, the Contractor was unable to finish the lake excavation. Therefore,
the lake excavation will be completed this winter. The procedure will be similar to last year.
1. The temporarily dewatering of Mirror Lake (DNR PWI No. 62-198M) will begin September 13,
2017
a. In accordance to Minnesota Statues 103G.408, a public hearing will be held during the
City Council meeting scheduled for 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 12, 2017, at the St.
Anthony Village City Hall, 3301 Silver Lake Road.
b. The dewatering begins in September to allow for amphibians and other animals to find
alternative homes during the construction.
2. Pumping of the lake will begin once consistent freezing temperatures have arrived.
a. The water is removed to freeze the soils on the bottom of the lake. This will allow heavy
construction equipment to traverse the lake without getting suck in the muck.
3. During the beginning of the winter the contractor may need to move the snow on top of the lake.
Snow insulates the soil, slowing and reducing the frost layer.
4. The excavation will be completed once the soils in the lake bottom are frozen deep enough for
large tucks to travers without getting stuck.
5. The Lake’s outlet control structure will be replaced once the excavation is complete.
6. The flood berm will be “roughed in” once the outlet structure is in place.
7. Final grading, restoration of the access point, and berm will be competed in the spring once the
soils have dried to allow for better workability.
Many of the above tasks are weather dependent; therefore, exact start and stop dates are challenging to
predict. We appreciate your patience during this construction process. If you have any questions or
comments related to this project, please contact Tony Miller at 612-554-6974 or tmiller@wsbeng.com.
Sincerely,
Todd Hubmer, PE

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: September 12, 2017
Options for Filling City Council Vacancy
OVERVIEW:
On August 18, 2017, Councilmember Bonnie Brever submitted a letter of resignation letter to the City
Manager. On August 22, 2017, the Council adopted Resolution 17-061 accepting the resignation and
declaring a vacancy. Since the vacancy occurred after the first day to file affidavits of candidacy an
election for a replacement Council Member may not be on the November 7, 2017 election ballot.
The Council has two options for filling the vacant seat. First, the Council may appoint for the
remainder of the term (which ends on December 31, 2019).
Second, the Council may schedule a special election. To do so, the Council must first adopt an
ordinance that specifies under what circumstances a special election will occur. There are two options
for this type of ordinance. One way is to pass an ordinance that will apply to all future special
elections. The other way is to pass an ordinance that applies only to one particular special election.
Staff can prepare sample ordinances for Council consideration as directed. Please note that a special
election (following adoption of an ordinance) would be coordinated through Ramsey County. Ramsey
County estimated a $4,000 cost and they need a minimum of seventy-four (74) day advance
notification.
A new law was adopted for special elections effective 1/1/2018 that establishes uniform election dates.
Special elections held in 2018 may occur on February 13, April 10 or May 8. The special election
could also be held in conjunction with the state primary on August 14, 2018 or the general election on
November 6, 2018.
