29 B.Ordinance 2024-01 – Amending the St. Anthony City Code, by Amending Sections of

31 Land Use.
32
33 City Planner Grittman reviewed the ordinance with the Council and indicated the ordinance
34 presents a series of proposed code amendments for the City Council’s third and final reading. Per
35 the Council’s review and discussion of the material at the first reading, updates have been made
36 to a few of the sections. The “final” ordinance represents the summary of those comments, with
37 no new changes since the second reading.
38
39 Mr. Grittman referenced the cover memo and the final draft of the proposed ordinance, as well as
40 additional background related to the changes made to the parking sections in 2023. At that time,
41 the City Code was amended to separate parking and storage, shifting parking regulations into the
42 zoning section (152), and retaining nuisance storage in that section (92.19). Because there were
43 other nuisance storage issues to address, the updates to 92.19 were delayed, and the former
44 parking regulations in 92.19 remained until this round of updates.
45

1 Mr. Grittman noted in 2023, there were two primary amendments to the parking regulations,
2 including an expanded set of definitions (152.08), and an expanded set of parking regulations
3 (152.179). Both redlined versions are attached to provide additional background about the
4 current language as adopted by the Council last year.
5
6 Mr. Grittman explained this is the third and final of three readings of the proposed ordinance.
7 The Council is asked to comment on any elements of the language. If approved, the action would
8 be to approve the third and final reading, and to adopt Ordinance 2024-01 as it is presented or
9 amended in final form.
10
11 Mr. Gritman reviewed that the Planning Commission considered the proposed elements of the
12 Ordinance at a public hearing during its regular meeting on February 20, 2024. The Planning
13 Commission discussed the various sections and noted that there was nobody from the public to
14 comment on the amendments. Their discussion included comments in the staff report noting
15 potential policy or technical issues for review. The City Council took up the first reading of the
16 Ordinance at its regular meeting on March 12, 2024. The Council discussed the Planning
17 Commission recommendations, directed staff to modify a few of the items, and commented on
18 others. At the March 26, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council held the second reading of the
19 proposed Ordinance, reviewed changes made to the Ordinance draft reflecting prior Council
20 discussion, and had no further changes. Staff is requesting adoption of the ordinance as
21 presented, or as amended with any final comments from the City Council.
22
23 Mayor Webster thanked staff for including the amendments that were made to the code regarding
24 parking. She appreciated the visuals as well.
25
26 Councilmember Doolan asked if the Council was approving the amendments related to noise and
27 the parking changes were approved in the past. Mr. Grittman reported this was the case.
28
29 Further discussion ensued regarding the definitions portion of City Code.

31 Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve final
32 reading and adopt Ordinance 2024-01, Amending the St. Anthony City Code, by Amending
33 Sections of the City Code relating to Nuisance, Signage, Permitting, Performance Standards and
34 Land Use.

MEMORANDUM
To:St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager
Date:April 23, 2024 City Council Meeting
Request:Potential Renewal of Police Partnership with the City of Falcon Heights
BACKGROUND
In January of this year officials from the City of Falcon Heights reached out to the City to determine if the Saint
Anthony Village City Council would be willing to consider renewing a Police Services partnership. Internal
conversations took place to seek input from the City Council and the Police Department on the request. The
consensus was a willingness to engage in conversations around an exploration process.
That process began with a joint meeting of the Saint Anthony Village and Falcon Heights City Councils to discuss
the possibility of an exploration, and the result of that discussion was agreement to begin the process and
prioritize engagement of each community to seek input on the concept.
Below is a timeline of the process to date:
Friday, January 5, 2024 Initial meeting held between each City’s Mayors and administrators
Monday, February 5, 2024 Press release was distributed to announce a joint meeting between the
City’s Councils on Thursday February 8, 2024 to discuss an exploration.
Council and staff contacted former Councilmembers and current and former
staff of the upcoming press release.
Tuesday, February 6 and
Wednesday, February 7, 2024
Mayor Webster and City Manager Yunker met with police department
personnel to hear thoughts and concerns on a possible renewed partnership.
Thursday, February 8, 2024 Joint meeting was held between Saint Anthony Village and Falcon Heights.
Tuesday, February 13, 2024 City Council discussed a community engagement plan on the topic at their
Work Session prior to the regular City Council meeting.
Friday, March 1, 2024 St. Anthony community survey was opened to gather input.
Mid-March, 2024 –
mid-April, 2024
City Council engaged in various community engagement activities to
encourage residents to complete the survey. This included Open Houses
before regular City Council meetings, presentations to community
organizations, meetings with resident groups and one-on-one conversations.
An independent consultant was utilized to gather and analyze input from all
police department personnel on the topic of a renewed partnership.
Friday, April 12, 2024 Community survey was closed and results provided to Goff Public for an
independent analysis.
Wednesday, April 17 and
Thursday, April 18, 2024
Joint Town Halls were held in each City to present the analysis of the
community surveys and police department input, and preliminary staffing
needs and contract price range to provide a general idea of scope.
SAINT ANTHONY COMMUNITY SURVEY INPUT
Early in the process, both cities engaged Goff Public to assist both cities’ staff in managing external messaging
and community engagement. They also assisted in drafting each community’s survey and, as mentioned,
provided an independent analysis of the results. The objective of the survey was to be a poll of the community
to gather broad ideas and questions/concerns to address on the concept of a renewed partnership. It was not
intended to be nor cannot be used as a gauge of overall community sentiment.
For Saint Anthony residents, these primary themes emerged as top priorities for the City to consider:
POTENTIAL BENEFITS CONCERNS
Financial
Increased SAPD capacity
Proximity
SAPD staffing levels
Trust (leadership, community and SAPD officers)
Cost
The full analysis of all submitted thoughts, questions and concerns is attached to this memo.
ST. ANTHONY POLICE DEPARTMENT INPUT
From the beginning of the discussion on a possible renewed partnership, the perspective of the police
department was a top priority for City leadership to receive. The City engaged Ethical Leaders in Action, Inc. to
gather that input and communicate the department personnel’s input for the Council to consider along with the
broader community input.
Nearly all department personnel covering command staff, patrol officers, investigations and non-sworn staff
were interviewed over multiple days. At this point, officers have a range of perspectives on the concept of a
renewed partnership, while also expressing their commitment to professionalism, belief in their work culture,
and their support and trust in the department leadership. In addition, it is critical that any renewed partnership
is done right, and themes around what that means are listed below.
For the St. Anthony Police Department, these primary themes emerged as top priorities for the City to consider:
RELATIONSHIP CONCERNS OPERATIONAL CONCERNS
Mutual trust needs to be established
and relations need to be developed
Confidence department will be
supported when use of force
incidents take place
Cannot provide effective services
before 1/1/2026
Recruitment and training for new
officers on top of current needs
Expansion of police facility would
be necessary
PRELIMINARY STAFFING NEEDS AND CONTRACT APPROACH
As the community engagement efforts were taking place, staff conducted preliminary work on proposed staffing
needs and approach to determining a contract price range so both City Councils have an idea of what a renewed
partnership may entail. This is very preliminary and based on a number of assumptions that would need to be
fully examined should the process continue to move toward a new contract.
STAFFING
Patrol Officers Additional patrol officers same as previous contract 4
Swing Shift Patrol Additional officers during high call volume time 2
Investigator Investigative capacity to adequately address call type needs 1
Community Engagement Officer Sworn officer to coordinate community engagement for all cities 1
Administrative Support Additional administrative capacity similar to previous contract 1
Total additional personnel needed 9
CONTRACT APPROACH
Determined by allocating costs based on a 50/50 blend of population percentage and call volume percentage,
applied to total police costs. Numbers are rounded for clarity:
POPULATIONS CALLS FOR SERVICE BLENDED COMBINED
COST ALLOCATION(2020 US CENSUS)(YEARLY AVERAGES ON

Based on draft methodology, below is the preliminary, estimated contract range. Numbers are rounded for
clarity and accelerated by a 4% inflation assumption:
Additional personnel, operating and equipment costs $1,400,000 - $1,500,000
Shared Fixed costs and capital contribution $250,000 - $300,000
Preliminary contract price range in 2026 $1,650,000 - $1,800,000
The 2024 Police Department operating and capital equipment budget is summarized below, and an estimated
combined budget based on the preliminary scenario described above, rounded for clarity:

$200,000 $50,000 $250,000
Total $4,750,000 $1,400,000 $6,150,000
FACILITY NEEDS
In the Spring of 2023 City staff engaged Oertel Architects to perform a facilities report focused on ensuring all
maintenance needs are reflected in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. In addition, staff asked the architects to
discuss facility usage for certain buildings and draft options for future renovations/expansions for the City
Council to consider at a later date. This was the focus of the City Council’s ‘Tour of the City’ in 2023.
The architects discussed the Police Department facility with staff about short term and long-term needs for the
department and how that relates to the building and space usage. Staff highlighted a need for a professional
work environment to draw recruits to a changing police department, including but not limited to:
Repurpose existing spaces to be more useable
Need for training and meeting space
Larger secure evidence storage
Improve daylight access
Add additional equipment storage
Rework locker rooms
Improve reception area
Larger garage and secured storage
The architect’s estimation for renovations/expansion of the existing facility to address all needs would be in the
range of $1,800,000 - $2,200,000, in 2025 dollars.
NEXT STEPS
Now that the stakeholder engagement phase of the process is wrapping-up, the next step is a decision on giving
staff direction to enter into contract negotiations and address the questions and concerns raised from all the
stakeholder input. These include but not limited to:
Re-establishing working relationships between the cities
Defining risk and identifying mitigation strategies
Determine how to recruit for department expansion
Establish practical implementation timeline
Avoid adverse impact to St. Anthony taxpayers
Appropriately specify liability as part of a services contract
A final decision on a renewed partnership would take place at a later date when a contract and all operational
aspects are determined and finalized.
DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR COUNCIL FEEDBACK
Below are the specific items for discussion and feedback for the City Council:
Does the Council desire proceed to the decision phase of the exploratory process and direct staff to
enter into contract negotiations?

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Cities of St. Anthony Village and Falcon Heights are exploring
the potential of renewing a police services partnership.
•St. Anthony Village currently provides contract policing
services to the City of Lauderdale and previously provided
contract law enforcement services to Falcon Heights from
1994 through 2017. The former policing partnership with
