2.Work Session Topics
A.Potential Renewal of Police Partnership with the City of Falcon Heights Update.
City Manager Yunker reviewed the staff memo describing at its regular meeting on April 23, 2024 the
City Council approved continuing the exploratory process of a renewed police service partnership with
the City of Falcon Heights. This moves the process into Phase 3 where a final decision is made based
upon a final contract and agreed-upon timeframe for implementation which is based on many logistical
details.
As a part of the discussion, Council noted particular items they would like to review as the process
continues including:
Lessons learned from the previous relationship.
A Police Department SWOT Analysis.
Benefits to the City and the Police department on a renewed partnership.
Appropriately sharing/mitigating risk.
Financial plan that would not increase the St. Anthony tax levy from a renewed partnership.
A staffing plan and timeline to support expansion of the department when hiring is very
challenging.
Since the April 23 meeting staff from both cities have continued exploratory work and an update on the
progress to date is provided.
Lessons Learned From the Previous Relationship & Sharing Risk
May 28, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 2
As formal and informal conversations taken place and community feedback has been received on this
topic, three areas of concern have been raised to mitigate:
Ensure participating City Councils foster an effective partner relationship – The three participating City
Councils should establish a formal or informal commitment to regularly communicating and building
relationships i.e. coordinating attendance at conference and events or an annual joint formal meeting
that may or may not focus on police services. The overall objective to be that the policy-makers that
ultimately control the partnership establish continuity as members change and each community evolves
so there is stability for the Police Department and the Police Officers that would serve the combined
communities of St. Anthony Village, Falcon Heights and Lauderdale.
Clearly defined service expectations, chain of command and authority over policing strategies – The
top administrative personnel from each city and the chosen command staff from the Police Department
should meet and discuss police services and community needs on a regular basis. The current contract
with Lauderdale, which is the basis for a renewed contract with Falcon Heights, includes a section on a
Joint Advisory Committee. Staff would reword this section and utilize it as a regular meeting of staff
from all partners to discuss police services operations and the objectives from all three partner Council’s
are being met. The objective would be to simplify communication between the partner cities and ensure
expectations of the Police Department are clearly understood and balances consistency with the unique
needs of each partner city.
Appropriate sharing financial impact of extraordinary incidents – City Staff from St. Anthony and
Falcon Heights are coordinating with our respective City Attorneys and the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust to draft language to address this concern. That draft language is not ready for review
but all parties are in agreement in concept and will present language when a draft contract is ready for
all Council’s review.
Police Chief Spiess presented the Police Department SWOT Analysis and Benefits to City & Police
Departments.

Communication Shortcomings
Maintaining Current Culture
Added Stress on Staff During Transition
Unclear Expectations, Chain of Command & Capacity Considerations
Anticipated Negative Feedback
In 2023 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 usable
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
Staff is not proposing that an entirely new police station be constructed. A contract price is being
structured so the revenue from the police services contract could fund the renovations. Thus, no
additional tax levy from St. Anthony residents would be needed. Police Chief Spiess stated he toured
other police facilities.
The department analyzed call data and identified the following additional personnel to support
expansion:
Patrol Officers – Additional patrol officers same as previous contract – 4
Swing Shirt 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
In order to achieve the needed staffing level, the Police Department would propose the following
approaches:
Expansion of the Cadet Program – The department is currently authorized for 2 cadets. One is in place
and another is starting within the next month. There has been some increased interest in the Cadet
program, and staff is requesting that this authorized strength be increased to 6t, which will increase our
ability to promote the opportunity. An evaluation of compensation and incentives should be conducted
to ensure St. Anthony is competitive.
May 28, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 4
Utilize Third Party Recruiter – Currently all recruitment efforts for police officers and cadets are being
handled by police department employees. Other agencies have retained the service of a police recruiter
to assist in the coordination of finding qualified candidates and to advise staff on incentives that are
attractive to candidates. Staff is requesting the ability to explore the cost of hiring a qualified
recruitment employee.
Mr. Yunker reviewed Staff from both St. Anthony and Falcon Heights will continue to work through
refining all aspects, including the risk sharing/mitigation concern as part of a draft contract. St. Anthony
Staff will also continue refining the cost ad pricing aspects as the 2025 budget preparation process
brings future costs into better focus.
Visit our websites to learn more detailed information on the potential policing partnership and St.
Anthony Police Department’s Contract Services including Frequently Asked Questions, Who to Contact
with Concerns, About the SAPD, and Background on both cities. Savmn.com/sapd-contract-services
and/or falconheights.org.
Councilmember Stephens asked about the oversight committee and whether a third party would be
involved to balance things out. Police Chief Spiess stated it would be a committee to evaluate the
deliverables on the contract not oversight of the department.
Councilmember Jenson referred to the SWOT analysis and noted it was well stated. He asked if Chief
Spiess feels the benefits outweigh the weaknesses. Chief Spiess stated his emphasis on the SWOT
analysis was public safety. There was failed leadership in Falcon Heights from the past incident. The
officers are accountable to St. Anthony leadership and Council. They need to have insulation. If there is
a contract there is going to be pushback. Council will be needed to support good policing. The
relationships need to be solid between the policy-making bodies.
Councilmember Randle stated it is important to shield the officer’s from the negatives. If things break
bad again who is going to throw us to the wolves. Leaders need to take care of their people.
Mayor Webster stated Council’s role is on governance and formulation of best practices. The Joint
Advisory Committee members are appropriate and Council should not be part of that Committee. It is
important we have diverse officers to represent the diverse communities served.
Councilmember Doolan stated she has concerns about how to insulate police from the politics of what is
coming whether this year or in the future. Double checking what is being put in place is a good test. She
spoke with the Orono Police Chief about their contracts servicing other communities. The duration of
time for the contract would be important.
Councilmember Jenson stated the Joint Advisory Committee is good and the responsibilities are well
defined.
Mayor Webster stated the plan captures the elements brought forward by Councilmembers in April.
Some of the misconceptions heard since April are incorrect such as the need for a new police station.
The renovations are needed without the contract with Falcon Heights. We have aging facilities that
need to be updated.
May 28, 2024 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 5
Councilmember Doolan referred to the SWOT analysis and asked if there are aspects around Council and
mitigating some of the risks from misconceptions. More detail could be added as far as communication
and governance.
Mayor Webster noted she agrees with Councilmember Doolan’s comments. She has been approached
about taxes increasing due to this partnership which is incorrect.
Councilmember Randle stated we never know what is going to come out of people’s mouth. He has
heard worse than the need for a new police station.
Councilmember Jenson stated all Council can do is to stick with the facts. The message we give to the
public should be the facts.
Councilmember Doolan stated this document prepared by Chief Spiess is really wonderful.
Mayor Webster stated when hearing concerns the officer’s expressed, she asked Chief Spiess what other
things Council can do to aid the Officers. Chief Spiess stated the major concern is staffing. The resources
are needed to be successful. Mayor Webster asked about the expansion of the cadet program and when
would that expansion be implemented. Chief Spiess stated as soon as possible. There are a number of
interested parties. It would be beneficial to increase by one more cadet by July.
Councilmember Doolan asked if hiring a recruiting person would be effective. Chief Spiess stated
someone knowledgeable on incentives for cadet recruits would be advantageous.
Councilmember Jenson suggested hiring a recruiter would dilute the workforce from attending job fairs.
Hiring 9 in the timeframe being considered will be very difficult. There would need to be a ramp-up
process. City Manager Yunker stated right now Falcon Heights needs to determine how policing will be
covered in 2025.
Mayor Webster asked what Council thinks about discussing increasing the cadet program at an
upcoming Council Meeting. The consensus was to put on agenda of a Council Meeting.
Future Work Sessions:
The next Work Session will be held on June 11, 2024 in the Council Chambers.
Adjournment:
The meeting adjourned at 6:35 p.m.

MEMORANDUM
To:St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager and Mike Larson, Liquor Operations Manager
Date:June 11, 2024 City Council Work Session
Request:Potential of Operating a Municipal Cannabis Dispensary
BACKGROUND
Cannabis in Minnesota is legal for recreational use as of August 1, 2023. On May 30, 2023, Governor Tim
Walz signed House File 100 into law, legalizing the use, possession, and cultivation of cannabis within the state.
Minnesota law permits adults who are 21 years of age or older to purchase and possess up to 2 lbs. of marijuana
flower (2 ounces in a public space), 8 grams of concentrate, and 800 mg of infused edibles in a private residence.
Growing at home is permitted, as long as the plants cannot be seen from outside. Individuals may cultivate up to
8 plants, with only 4 flowering at once. Adults who are 21 years of age or older may also gift each other any
amount up to the legal limit.
Licenses for commercial sales will likely not be issued until 2025, with the exception of tribal nations, in order for
the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) to establish regulatory frameworks. The law established criteria for
social equity applicants to be preapproved for cannabis business licenses sometime in 2024. Social equity
applicants include people or family members of individuals who were previously convicted of marijuana
offenses, military veterans, residents of high-poverty areas and "emerging farmers" who have provided the
majority of labor and management for a small farm for at least three years.
2024 LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
Legislation signed into law in 2024 that modified the 2023 legislation established quantity limits on types of
licenses, and a lottery system to distribute cannabis business licenses in 2025. Applicants meeting minimum
requirements that include location selection and business plans will be entered into the lottery and recipients
chosen at random.
Another change in 2024 allows for licenses to be issued to cities to open municipal cannabis stores independent
of the lottery process. These licenses will not count against the OCM's license caps or any limits on retail licenses
that local governments may impose.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A MUNICPAL OPERATION
The legislation signed into law over the past two sessions presents an opportunity for cities to establish a retail
municipal operation similar to the municipal liquor operation the City has operated since 1948, if the Council
should determine that it is in the best interests of the City to do so.
To make that determination, staff has been monitoring the legislative developments and coordinating with
industry resources to learn about the law and the cannabis industry. Attached to this memo is a proposal from
Modern Climate to provide the City an analysis of the topic, and staff will complete additional research to inform
a Council decision.
DISCUSSION FOR COUNCIL FEEDBACK
As a part of this discussion, Council may determine if the process of establishing a municipal cannabis dispensary
continues. Topics for discussion are:
Does operating a cannabis dispensary fit in the City’s and liquor stores mission and vision statement?
Benefits to the community by controlling the sale and generating revenue.
Business plan review from Modern Climate, Voyager Cannabis Services Division:
o Potential benefits and challenges of retail cannabis sales.
o Products we can legally sell.
o Demographics of consumers.
o Long term effect on alcohol sales after the introduction of retail cannabis sales.
Licensing through the Office of Cannabis Management begins in early 2025, and applications for municipal
operators is expected to open later in 2024. Staff is seeking direction from the Council on proceeding with the
analysis and application process, when available, to potentially open a retail cannabis dispensary.
