CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Minutes
July 11, 2023
Present:
Mayor & Council:
Randy Stille, Mayor, Bernard Walker, Jan Jenson, Thomas Randle, Wendy Webster, Councilmembers
Staff:
Charlie Yunker, City Manager, Shelly Rueckert, Finance Director, Jeff Spiess, Police Captain
Call to Order:
Mayor Stille called the Work Session to order at 6:00 p.m.
2024 Initial Property Tax Levy Scenarios:
Finance Director Rueckert reviewed the initial preliminary levy increase as prepared by staff using the
best information available on 2024 costs. The scenario includes expected Cost of Living (COLA) increases
for staff, and inflationary increases for non-personnel costs.
The Police Department has requested consideration of other items including and allowance for market
wage adjustments, establishment of a cadet program for recruitment, and adding additional staff for an
investigator (to participate on a Ramsey County team) and an administrative Lieutenant position. Some
of the costs for the new positions can be shared with Lauderdale through the police contract, and public
safety assistance funds are available to help offset costs as well.
Council asked Captain Spiess questions on the rationalizations for the requests and how they meet the
needs identified by the department, and how the requests serve the Police Department’s Strategic Plan.
City Manager Yunker added that additional details will be included at the next work session the
preliminary levy is discussed, as per the usual process. Staff sought feedback on the overall concepts to
determine if some or all are financially doable in the Council’s view.
Council discussed and expressed support to proceed with the proposed recommendations and will
review again when staff is ready to present an updated version of the preliminary levy, which is
scheduled to be on August 8th.
Future Work Sessions:
Next Work Session will be held on July 25th, 2023, at 5:45pm in the Council Chambers.
Adjournment:
The meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by Charlie Yunker, City Manager.

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:June 21, 2023
Meeting Date:Work Session July 25, 2023
RE:St. Anthony – Brewer Taprooms; Food Trucks
GC Project No.140.00
Background
Two items are before the City Council for this Work Session relating to items that had been
included and discussed as a part of prior updates to the City’s Commercial and Light Industrial
District amendments. The first is Brewer Taprooms and related facilities. This use was included
in the City’s eligible zoning updates in both the C, Commercial and LI, Light Industrial zoning
districts – in both districts by Conditional Use Permit. The allowance as a use awaits general
City Code provisions for licensing and other regulatory process – this Work Session discussion
includes a baseline ordinance as a framework, and various points for discussion.
The second item is a specific allowance and regulation of Food Trucks (listed as “Mobile Food
Units”). As the name implies, Mobile Food Units are not specific to a zoning district per se, but
can have varying impacts depending on their temporary location. While these units operate in
the community at the current time, a more extensive set of regulations is proposed here for
discussion, with the objective being to manage their potential impacts on both public roadways
and on the neighborhoods in which they operate.
Brewer Taprooms
This use category includes a variety of potential forms, both relating to beer (or malt liquor in
the language of the alcohol licensing regulations), and distilled spirits. Particularly for beer, the
models usually take the following forms:
Brewery – a place that brews malt liquor; in its basic form, a brewer manufactures its product,
packages it in cans, bottles, or kegs, and provides it to a distributor for eventual retail sale or
June 27, 2023

consumption at a separately licensed off-site location. This by itself would be a typical
industrial land use.
Brewer-Taproom – a place that brews malt liquor and is additionally licensed to sell its product
for on-site consumption in the “taproom”. There are a number of other activities that may be
allowed relating to the sale of product for off-site consumption. Growlers (typically 64 oz.
bottles) or Crowlers (typically 750 ml cans) are often sold as a take-home product. These
products are dispensed from the taproom’s facility and packaged on demand, since their “shelf-
life” is limited to between a few days and a few weeks. Brewer Taprooms typically provide no
made-to-order food, but will often sell pre-packaged snack foods, or combine with a Mobile
Food Unit to provide food service to the taproom customers.
Brew-Pub – a place that brews malt liquor, and serves made-to-order food in addition to its
brewery products. Many Brew-Pubs will also seek licensing to sell other alcoholic beverages,
including other on-tap beers or spirits.
Brew-on-Site – a place that provides equipment and materials for individuals to brew their own
malt liquor, for consumption by the individual on-site only (not for sale or off-site
consumption).
The primary discussion topics in this area relate to the types and variations of licenses that the
City may provide, and then the various aspects of “off-sale” products that may be permitted
under those licenses. The categories of licenses listed above represent the range of options –
the City has the authority to provide all or any of them.
With regard to “off-sale” licensing, three primary issues relate to the allowance for (1)
“growlers” (including “crowlers”); (2) packaged products (cans/bottles/kegs) for distribution as
a production brewery in addition to the bar/restaurant model; and (3) if packaged productions
for distribution is allowed, may the brewer sell their own packaged products for off-sale, in
addition to their on-sale service.
Again, the City may allow any of these options, but is not required to do so. Particularly with
municipal liquor operations in St. Anthony, the 3rd category is perhaps the primary departure
from the current norm. The City’s Liquor Operations Manager notes that if a taproom is
allowed to sell their packaged products, they must also make their products available for sale
through the City’s liquor store.

Mobile Food Units
For this use, a draft ordinance is provided as a starting point for discussion. The draft provides
a licensing structure, and references the requirements of the requirements for such units to be
licensed and regulated by the Minnesota Department of Health. The regulations lay out a
series of requirements for their operations, which include the following:
Extensive licensing process and background data.
Prohibition from operating on City streets.
Requirements that such units maintain a separation distance from:
o Special Events (such as events that have engaged their own food/catering
services, etc.) – a distance of 300 feet.
o “Brick-and-Mortar” Restaurants – a distance of 100 feet from the public
entrance, with an exemption from this separation if the Restaurant Owner
provides a written accommodation.
An allowance for one-time private residential events (such as graduation parties or
weddings, etc.) provided the unit operates in a catering capacity and is not selling its
products to the public. In these cases, the licensee may locate on the public street with
permission of the City.
Limitations on the operations of such units in the City to 4 21-day stays
Each of these aspects are for discussion purposes only – the Council may direct other options,
or further research as appropriate.
Summary
The information provided for these items is for discussion and direction to staff for follow-up.
No specific action is requested at this time.
