A.8 Police Department Strategic Plan Presentation
9
10 Police Chief Spiess reviewed in 2018, the St. Anthony Police Department developed its first
11 Strategic Plan. This plan introduced a revised Vision and Mission and detailed nine departmental
12 goals, along with several objectives for each goal. Input from all members of the police
13 department was sought, and the plan also incorporated valuable community feedback. Since its
14 creation, the Strategic Plan has undergone annual updates to reflect objectives that have been
15 achieved, revised, or otherwise satisfied. It remains a legacy document, guiding both daily
16 actions and long-term goals.
17
18 In 2024, the Strategic Plan underwent its first major renovation since its inception. All
19 department members collaborated in group sessions on multiple occasions to reshape the plan
20 into its current form. During this process, the number of goals was condensed from nine to six
21 for greater focus and manageability. Objectives were reevaluated, and members identified the
22 objectives they would take the lead in achieving.
23
24 A key outcome of this process was the identification of three core departmental values. Each
25 team contributed suggestions for values that best encapsulate the department’s culture and
26 approach to service. From these contributions, the following three core values were identified:
27
1.28 Integrity – We uphold the highest standards of honesty, accountability, and
29 professionalism in every action and decision, ensuring trust within our community.
2.30 Courage – We act with strength and determination, facing challenges and uncertainty
31 with confidence to protest and serve our community.
3.32 Compassion – We treat all individuals with empathy, understanding, and respect,
33 recognizing the humanity and dignity of every person we encounter.
34
35 The Goals for the department include:
36 Community Engagement/Transparency/Accountability – Mentorship programs High
37 School and College; Enhance Social Media; Visibly report officer commendations to
38 community and new community outreach events.
39 Equipment & Technology – Implement new scheduling and training software;
40 explore upgrade to body camera storage; establish interface for digital data transfer;
41 and explore online option to report traffic complaints.
42 Training & Professional Development – Quarterly check-ins with members to
43 evaluate career goals; in-house leadership training for supervisors; prioritize
44 attendance at career enhancing schools; and informal alternative learning
45 opportunities.

10
11 Chief Spiess presented the 2025 St. Anthony Police pyramid.
12
13 Chief Spiess stated he is deeply grateful and proud of the dedication and hard work that went
14 into its creation. Each member of the department is committed to achieving the plan’s goals,
15 fulfilling our mission and vision, and embodying the core values that define our service to the
16 community.
17
18 Councilmember Doolan stated this was a great process and document and she appreciates all the
19 work that has been done. She is glad to hear technology is being used. The Procedural Justice
20 Approach is an incredible program.
21
22 Councilmember Randle stated he is curious about the portable camera system and asked if we do
23 not already have one. Chief Spiess stated the department does not have one but it would be very
24 helpful.
25
26 Councilmember Doolan stated this is a great plan. She appreciates the multi-faceted approach.
27 Chief Spiess explained the criteria for traffic stops.
28
29 Councilmember Elnagdy asked about traffic stops. Chief Spiess stated the majority of stops are
30 for moving violations and traffic safety. No questions are asked about immigration status on
31 traffic stops.
32
33 Mayor Webster commended Chief Spiess and the department on such an extensive strategic plan.
34 Mayor Webster recently met with Police Department administrative support Kim Brazil and Kim
35 recently worked to create a conference for administrative staff. She took personal time to do this.
36
B.37 Police Department Drone Program Presentation
38
39 Police Chief Spiess reviewed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as
40 drones, offer advanced capabilities for law enforcement, including enhanced situational
41 awareness, search and rescue operations, and improved public safety outcomes. To proceed with
42 the acquisition and deployment of UAVs, the St. Anthony Police Department has prepared a
43 presentation detailing the benefits and safeguards of the proposed Drone Program.
44
45 In compliance with Minnesota State Statute 626.19(9), the law requires:
7
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
January 28, 2025
Page 4
1.1 Public Comment Opportunity: The law enforcement agency must provide an
2 opportunity for public comment before purchasing or using a UAV. Comments must
3 be accepted electronically and by mail. On December 23, 2024, a News Flash was
4 sent announcing the exploration of the Drone Program, along with placement on the
5 City of St. Anthony Village website. As of today, 5 comments were received via
6 electronic communications. The 5 responses included: Supportive, wondering who
7 will pay for drone; Very supportive; Totally in favor; Great idea; and Questions about
8 how drone will be deployed and findings from other drone programs.
2.9 Governing Body Meeting: The governing body with jurisdiction over the budget of
10 the local law enforcement agency must allow public comment at a regularly
11 scheduled meeting. Also included in the December 23, 2024 announcement was the
12 notice of the opportunity for public comment during the January 28, 2025 City
13 Council meeting.
14
15 Police Chief Spiess stated the purpose of the Drone Program is to serve the mission of the St.
16 Anthony Police Department: To improve the overall quality of life by preserving the peace and
17 safety of the community. There is currently widespread use of drones in Minnesota law
18 enforcement. As of June 2024, 99 Minnesota law enforcement agencies use drones, and all
19 neighboring police departments to St. Anthony have an active drone program. Drones have
20 widespread use in the location of missing and vulnerable persons, improving security for large-
21 scale public events, and to enhance safety for police officers and the community.
22
23 Currently St Anthony Police Department has had to rely on outside agencies to assist when the
24 use of a drone is needed. Response is limited to the availability of others. Recently, the use of
25 drones could have been used to assist in locating a missing and vulnerable person, in determining
26 the correct response of officers dispatched to the report of juveniles with firearms, and in
27 locating a burglary suspect inside of a home.
28
29 There is some concern that the use of drones could impede the privacy afforded to members of
30 our community. Minnesota State Statute 626-19 articulates when and where a drone can be used
31 without the use of a search warrant. These include:
32 Emergency situation that involves risk of death or bodily harm to a person.
33 Public event with heightened safety concerns.
34 Counter risk of terrorist attack.
35 Prevent loss of life and property in disaster situations.
36 Conduct threat assessment in anticipation of a special event.
37 Collect information from public areas if there is reasonable suspicion of criminal activity.
38 Crash reconstruction of serious collision.
39 Over public area for officer training or public relations purposes.
40
41 Per MN State Statute 626-19(12) all UAV deployments without a search warrant must be
42 reported to the Commissioner of Public Safety, which is then disseminated to the public.
43
44 The Drone Program represents a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of the St.
45 Anthony Police Department. By adhering to statutory requirements and fostering community
46 engagement, we aim to implement this program responsibly and effectively.

2 Councilmember Randle stated he thought we had a portable camera system. He feels this is very
3 important along with the drone for policing.
4
5 Councilmember Elnagdy asked how much a drone was and Chief Spiess stated between $6,000
6 and $11,000.
7
8 Councilmember Doolan asked about life expectancy of a drone. Chief Spiess stated research
9 showed 3-5 years but that depends on amount of use. She asked about the risks involved with
10 drone use. Chief Spiess stated there is extensive training before an officer is certified by the FAA
11 to use a drone. There are safety features. The same liabilities would be encountered as with the
12 use of police vehicles. The focus is building trust and relationships with residents.
13
14 Mayor Webster stated she received a question from a resident about the use of drones and
15 privacy.
16
17 The consensus of the Council was in support of drone purchase.
18
C.19 Police Body Worn Camera (BWC) Audit
20
21 Police Chief Spiess reviewed a PowerPoint of the Body Worn Camera Biennial Audit Report.
22 This was an independent audit per State Statute 13.825 conducted by Lynn Lembcke Consulting
23 on November 5, 2024. The audit covered the time period of October 16, 2022 through October
24 31, 2024.
25
26 Chief Spiess reviewed the 9 elements of the audit:

13
14 Councilmember Randle left the meeting at 8:15 p.m.
15

19 compliance with the agency’s policy adopted under this section while performing law
20 enforcement activities under the command and control of another chief law enforcement officer
21 or federal law enforcement officer.
22
23 A copy of the Independent Audit Report was provided for Council consideration.
24
25 Mayor Webster thanked Chief Spiess for his report and thanked the officers who are using the
26 cameras on a daily basis.
27
28 Councilmember Doolan thanked Chief Spiess for sharing this information. She asked about the
29 policy and whether the cameras are always turned on. Chief Spiess stated it is on almost always.
30 It is sometimes turned off in sensitive situations. She asked how the data can be accessed. Chief
31 Spiess stated typically the information remains in-house and the policy is followed strictly.

Interpreting Results of Compliance Tests
Your jurisdiction is required to pass four tests to be in compliance.
1. Completeness and Accuracy Test
Report is submitted on time
Data is correct
Required information has been provided
For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity Compliance
2. Statistical or Alternative Test
Compares salary data to determine if female classes are paid consistently below male
classes of comparable work value (job points). The Minnesota Pay Equity Management
System will generate results applying the Statistical Analysis Test. Underpayment ratio
results of 80 and above are passing. In some cases, the Alternative Analysis is required and
consists of a manual review of the data. Refer to the following page to determine which
test applies to your report. For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay
Equity Compliance.
3. Salary Range Test
Compares the average number of years required for female classes to move through a
salary range consisting of a time-phased step progression to the average number of years
required for male classes. Results of 0 or 80 and above are passing scores. (Test does not
apply if years to achieve maximum salary are not defined or if salary ranges are not
defined). For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity
Compliance.
4. Exceptional Service Pay Test
Compares the percentage of female classes receiving longevity or performance pay to the
percentage of male classes receiving longevity or performance pay. In noting exceptional
service pay, recipients must exceed the maximum salary reported. Results of 0 or 80 and
above are passing scores. (Test does not apply if exceptional service pay is not available in
your jurisdiction). For more information, refer to the Guide to Understanding Pay Equity
Compliance.

MEMORANDUM
To: St. Anthony Village City Council
From: Minette Saulog, Sustainability Coordinator
Date: February 11, 2025 City Council Meeting
Request: Metropolitan Council Inflow & Infiltration Grant Agreement
BACKGROUND
Attached is a resolution authorizing the City to enter a grant agreement with the Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services (MCES) for the 2025 Private Property Inflow and Infiltration (I/I) Grant Program. This
effort is related to the ongoing I/I Program between the City of St. Anthony Village and MCES.
The 2025 Private Property Inflow and Infiltration Grant Program provides $1.5 million in wastewater revenue for
grants to private property owners to help with repairs that will remove and prevent clear water from entering
the wastewater treatment system. The Minnesota Legislature amended statute 471.342 in 2022 to allow MCES
to provide grant finding to local municipalities to assist private property owners with costs associated with
repairing sewer infrastructure on their property.
Excess I/I is removed from the regional interceptor system through repairs of the sewer lateral or foundation
drain on the property. With the average cost to repair or replace a private sanitary sewer service lateral at
approximately $9,000 or greater, this grant gives local communities the ability to help property owners in
alignment with the grant program guidelines.
The City received the Private Property I/I grant in 2024 and applicants were screened for funding eligibility based
on established criteria. At the end of the program year, 4 homeowners received grant awards worth a total of
$21,559.67 towards their repairs. The City paid the contractor on behalf of the grantee for the total amount of
their grant award. Grant dollars were received in the form of reimbursement from MCES on a quarterly basis.
Additional details for the 2025 program are as follows:
• Grants to private property owners shall be for a percentage of actual, reasonable, and verifiable I/I
mitigation costs. No costs of studies, engineering, or planning shall be eligible.
• Grant reimbursement shall be 50% of eligible costs, up to $5,000, for applicants not meeting equity
criteria set by the participating municipalities. Eligible work includes:
o Private lateral repair and/or replacement
o Foundation drain disconnections and new sump pump, if associated with the foundation drain
disconnect
o Lateral televising and cleaning costs only if:
▪ Applicant meets the equity criteria or
▪ Televising and cleaning result in repair or replacement of sewer lateral
• Grants of up to $10,000 may be given to private property owners meeting the municipality’s equity
criterion.
• The private service line or foundation drain must be active and serving an occupied building.
• All repairs and replacements must be made with materials and methods consistent with local codes and
permit requirements.
25
• Qualified spending on eligible work must occur between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.
The program is administered by eligible cities, which are those that have had a measurable flow rate within 20
percent of the permitted flow limit, and which St. Anthony is one of those cities. Cities applied for a block of
funding and are responsible for determining eligibility of applicants and administration of funds.
SAINT ANTHONY PROGRAM CRITERIA
The City’s application was submitted to MCES on November 25, 2024. Staff were notified on December 27, 2024
that St. Anthony was awarded $35,000 for the 2025 program year. The MCES program guidelines are attached
to this memo for reference.
The City will use the same criteria for eligibility in 2025 as it did in 2024:
• City will accept applications from May 1 - May 31. If any funds remain unallocated, a second round may
be opened on July 1 and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all funds are allocated.
• Property must be owner-occupied and not used for rental purposes.
• Prioritize applications meeting equity criteria (income verified with 2024 Federal tax return).
To include an equity criterion component for the program, staff used the FY2024 income limits summary utilized
by the Metropolitan Council, which are based on the Federal Housing of Urban Development (HUD) limits. Then
graduated the maximum assistance based on those limits as presented below:

PRIVATE PROPERTY INFLOW & INFILTRATION GRANT PROGRAM
Grant Requirements, Guidelines & Timeline - 2025
Information
The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (Met Council, ES) is implementing a private property
inflow and infiltration (I/I) grant program beginning January 2025. The goal of the program is to assist
private property owners with financial assistance to remove I/I from the regional interceptor system
through repairs of the sewer lateral or foundation drain on the property. ES has committed to assigning
funds every year from the PayGo fund for this grant program.
Council Guidelines
Eligible Municipalities
Eligible municipalities include those that have been designated excessive I/I contributors by the Met
Council, or that have had a measurable flow rate within 20 percent of the permitted flow limit.
Eligible Work
• Grants to private property owners shall be for a percentage of actual, reasonable, and verifiable
I/I mitigation costs. No costs of studies, engineering, or planning shall be eligible.
• Grant reimbursement shall be 50% of eligible costs, up to $5,000, for applicants not meeting
equity criteria set by the participating municipalities. Eligible work includes:
o Private lateral repair and/or replacement
o Foundation drain disconnections and new sump pump, if associated with the foundation
drain disconnect
o Lateral televising and cleaning costs if:
▪ Applicant meets the equity criteria or
▪ Televising and cleaning result in repair or replacement of sewer lateral
• Grants of up to $10,000 may be given to private property owners meeting the municipality’s
equity criterion.
• The private service line or foundation drain must be active and serving an occupied building.
• All repairs and replacements must be made with materials and methods consistent with local
codes and permit requirements.
• Qualified spending on eligible work must occur between January 1, 2025 and December 31,
2025.
Grant Process
Application
• ES will notify all eligible municipalities and request grant applications.
• Eligible municipalities will apply for the program and request a total grant amount for anticipated
grant reimbursement to private property owners.
• Applying municipalities must submit the Application for Participation and a resolution from City
Council authorizing application and execution of the grant.
27
Page - 2 | METROPOLITAN COUNCIL
• After all applications are received, ES will review requested grant amounts for proposed work
and encumber a grant amount for each participating municipality. It is anticipated that more
grant funds will be requested than what is available, meaning applicants may not receive their
full request. Grant awards will be encumbered to each municipality by this process:
o Half of the available grant funds will be divided equally among participants.
o The remaining half will be distributed to participants based on the size of their grant
request.
• Municipalities will be informed of their total grant amount for the program year at the start of the
program year.
• ES will send grant agreements to municipalities for signature and, upon return, will sign, and will
create purchase orders payable to the applicant municipality.
• Signed agreements and application must be returned to ES prior to participation in the program.
Reporting Requirements and Reimbursement
• Each quarter, municipalities will submit the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook of work
completed, invoices, and certificates of completeness to certify the work for each grant was
done and records auditable. Only one grant per property may be awarded.
o ES has provided a list of verified Metropolitan Council Underutilized Business (MCUB)
contractors able to perform water and sewer work (attached). It is not required to use the
contractors on that list but is provided as an option. More information on the Met Council
MCUB program can be found here: https://metrocouncil.org/About-Us/What-We-
Do/DoingBusiness/Small-Business-Programs/mcub.aspx
• ES will review the PPII Reporting Form Excel workbook and supporting documentation and
issue grant reimbursement. Municipalities have until January 31 of the following year to submit
all paperwork for work performed during the program year.
• Any funds encumbered to a municipality and not spent during the program year will remain in
ES’s PayGo fund.
• The Met Council reserves the right to change these guidelines, if in its sole discretion the results
of the process do not equitably allocate the funds.
Equity Component
Thrive MSP 2040 is the Met Council’s vision for the region through the year 2040. It reflects concerns,
needs, and aspirations for the region and addresses our responsibility to future generations. Thrive
MSP 2040 has five outcomes that reinforce and support each other to produce greater benefits for the
region. Those outcomes are Stewardship, Prosperity, Equity, Livability, and Sustainability.
Thrive MSP 2040 provides the following definition of equity: “Equity connects all residents to
opportunity and creates viable housing, transportation, and recreation options for people of all races,
ethnicities, incomes, and abilities so that all communities share the opportunities and challenges of
growth and change. For our region to reach its full economic potential, all of our residents must be able
to access opportunity. Our region is stronger when all people live in communities that provide them
access to opportunities for success, prosperity and quality of life.” (Metropolitan Council, 2014).
The equity component of allowing grant reimbursement up to a $10,000 cap for private property owners
meeting a municipality’s equity criterion is one way equity is incorporated into this program. It is
acknowledged that each municipality has different equity considerations and knows the needs of their
residents the best; therefore, it is up to the municipality to determine if a resident has an equity need
and up to the municipality to determine the resident’s final grant award, up to $10,000.
If a repair is higher than the program cap of $10,000, options, among others, to cover that cost include
a municipality match, assessing the property for the remaining amount, or requesting payment from the

Please provide a statement explaining how you plan to do outreach and communication to
reach private property owners.
The City will include information about this grant program in our quarterly newsletters in 2025 that are
mailed to all residents. Our website also has a page dedicated to the PPII program guidelines and
hosting the web form for applications. We will also utilize our social media channels (Facebook and
Instagram), as well as our website’s push notification features, to send multiple reminders to residents
about the opportunity to participate in this program while funds are available and use the full extent of
our award.
New for 2025 is a plan to provide increased emphasis and transparency on the equity awards and
update our eligibility criteria so that property owners have a more complete understanding of what is
required to receive this grant towards their repairs.
What, if any, outreach and communication support would be helpful to receive from Met
Council?
Based on observations and feedback from the first year of our City administering this program,
residents would like more guidance from the Met Council on best practices for selecting a contractor,
especially since the City does not have resources to assist on homeowners’ behalf nor does it require
residents to use specific contractors to do these repairs.
Additionally, if there have been any new templates or language developed after the 2024 pilot year that
can be used for our promotion efforts, that would be useful as well.
