1 Programming Funded by HRA Levy, Investing in St. Anthony Village, Looking Ahead, and
2 Small Business Support Programming.
3
4 Ramsey County approved the HRA area of operation (excluding North St Paul) and approved the
5 2022-2023 budget with levy for the HRA. Ramsey County was the last metropolitan county to
6 levy from its HRA. The 2025 approved HRA Levy was $13.6M.
7
8 Commissioner Xiong reviewed Increasing the flexibility of HRA funding, 2025 Legislative
9 Request, Increasing the flexibility of HRA funding, Looking Forward.
10
11 She noted Ramsey County is short of 15,000 units of affordable housing. The wages of Ramsey
12 County residents need to be raised. Currently, General Levy supports $345,000 in business
13 programming. Cities have the choice to opt in to spending on economic development authority
14 (EDA) eligible activities. Cities are being asked to submit resolutions stating they would like to
15 opt in to the programming. The HRA Levy-funded Business Programming will start in January
16 2027.
17
18 Councilmember Doolan asked about the small business reimagination resource grant and when
19 the next RFP process would be available. Mr. Olson stated that since the first version of the RFP
20 was federally funded, this was a one-time RFP for this program. It is estimated to be 2027.
21 Councilmember Doolan asked if there was a list for communicating these programs and grant
22 opportunities.
23
24 Councilmember Jenson asked if St. Anthony is part of this, and Mr. Olson stated that St.
25 Anthony is already part of the Ramsey County HRA. Other cities expressed a desire to opt in.
26 The opt-in process would allow the County to provide programming. There is no action at this
27 time necessary, and before July, the City will get information on the opt-in process.
28
29 Commissioner McGuire noted this gives St. Anthony more options to use the HRA Levy.
30
31 Councilmember Doolan asked if St. Anthony opts in, what is the process? Mr. Olson stated they
32 are already doing projects in St. Anthony. In some cases, residents reach out personally. There
33 are existing programs for businesses that businesses can reach out to Ramsey County directly.
34 Mr. Olson provided details about specific programs for businesses.
35
36 Mr. Olson reviewed Local Affordable Sales Tax (LAHA), Funded Programming, Local
37 Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA), and Acronym Key. Ramsey County’s 2024 aid amount was
38 $6M, and the 2025 aid amount is approximately $15.9M.
39
40 Councilmember Doolan asked about the LAHA and noted there is a large number of old housing
41 stock, multi-family housing stock, and if some of the complexes are looking to bring their
42 facilities up to be more energy efficient, would this help to keep this affordable? Mr. Olson
43 stated that it is the purpose of some of the funding. It does not work in all instances. If some
44 aging properties could use some refurbishing. The spring is the time for those types of projects.
45 Those building owners should contact Ramsey County directly to determine which type of
46 funding is appropriate for a particular project.

1.28 2026 Proposed Budget & Levy Presentation.
29
30 Finance Director Maloney reviewed the 2026 Budget Calendar. The 2026 Budget Parameters:
31
32 City revenues budgeted using current run rates for sources that are subject to trends and
33 conservative baseline estimates for recurring aid and charges for services.
34 Expenses budgeted at amounts that will maintain the present level of City services.
35 Liquor transfers are based on liquor operating results.
36
37 A chart was displayed showing the Overall Levy by Fund Type, which included 69%
38 General/HRA, 25% Debt Service and Infrastructure Funds, and 6% Capital/Building/Parks
39 Improvements. Charts were displayed showing the 2026 General Fund: Revenues and 2026
40 General Fund: Expenditures.
41
42 Ms. Maloney reviewed the Pathway to the 2026 Levy. She noted the 2026 Budget Cost Drivers:
43
44 St. Anthony's Share of Police Costs is 40% of expenditures.
45 Police Services are being accounted for in a segregated special revenue fund beginning in
46 2026.

1 2025 comparative costs have been restated in this format for meaningful comparisons.
2 2025 net budgeted police costs for St. Anthony were $3,915,766 and are planned to be
3 $3,883,442 for 2026.
4 This represents an .83% decrease to the City in 2026 after the union contract COLA of
5 3% and wage adjustments were applied.
6 This is due to the addition of a third partner in police services and the sharing of fixed
7 costs.
8
9 Personnel Costs other than Police are 37% of expenditure.
10 The 2026 base wage increase is based on a 3% COLA for all union contracts, also
11 applied to non-union positions.
12 The wage and payroll expense increase for non-police positions is $412,852. This
13 includes an estimate of $304,725 of wages, PERA, and FICA for 3 additional fire
14 positions.
15 Health insurance premiums are increasing by an average of 6.7%, which is shared 50/50
16 by the City and the employees.
17 The 2026 impact of the shared increase is $106,926, assuming the same employee elected
18 coverage from 2025 is applied to 2026 and additional amounts for 3 new fire positions.
19 Removing the 3FD positions would reduce the increase by $49,032.
20
21 Contracted Services are 9% of expenditure.
22 Contracted Services are expected to increase $122,300 based on actual 2025 costs and
23 known increases.
24 Contracted information technology costs $49,274.
25 A large share is due to costs associated with police services and is shared with police
26 partners.
27 Building Permit expense is expected to move to a fixed cost rather than a cost share.
28 This expense increase is $70,866, which will be offset by an increase in the portion of
29 permit revenues retained by the City.
30
31 Other Insurance Costs.
32 2% of expenditures, the overall cost is expected to increase by an inflationary amount of
33 $7,226.
34
35 Pass Through Costs.
36 3% of expenditures, costs up $4,700.
37 There is no levy impact of pass-through costs.
38
39 Supplies and Utility Costs.
40 7% of expenditure is expected to increase $11,759.
41 Estimate based on actual expenditures for 2024 and 2025.
42
43 Remaining Budget Line Items.
44 2% of overall expenditures or $33,189, costs expected to decrease $18,455.

5 Ms. Maloney reviewed the General Fund and Levy Options chart.
6
7 The Fire Department Funding Request includes:
8
9 2025 – 2027.
10 Hire three firefighters/paramedics.
11 Reduce paid on-call staff accordingly.
12 No annual paid on-call recruitment.
13
14 2025 Costs.
15 3 Firefighters/EMT - $341,370.
16 3 Firefighters/Paramedics - $364,908.
17
18 Ms. Maloney presented the Funding Options:
19 1 – Base levy increase without funding new Firefighter positions – 5.44% Levy Increase.
20 2 - Absorb the cost of 3 additional Firefighter/Paramedics (1 for each shift) – 9.18% Levy
21 Increase.
22 3 – Use closed TIF District funds returned to Ramsey County for redistribution to
23 jurisdictions. St. Anthony’s portion is estimated to be $990,000.
24 Use 2/3 of available funds over 3 years to reduce levy by $217,800 for each of 3
25 years – this option retains 1/3 of available funds for new amenity requests -
26 $6.88%.
27 Use all available funds over 4 years to reduce levy by $247,500 for each of 4
28 years – this option eliminates use for new park amenities requests – 6.57%.
29 Retain all available funds in the Capital Funds to reduce or eliminate levy
30 increases for as many years as possible – this option likely eliminates use for new
31 park amenities requests – TBD.
32
33 The preliminary levy increases for cities around the Metropolitan area are anticipated to be in the
34 range of 6 – 13.4% with an average increase of 8.8%.
35
36 Ms. Maloney reviewed Additional Considerations – Future Budget Topics:
37 After Preliminary Levy adoption, focus shifts to Capital levies for CIP, Buildings, and
38 Parks Funds.
39 Continuing cost increases for equipment and major facility maintenance and upgrades.
40 Long-Term Facility needs to plan for:
o41 Feasibility of a Public Safety Facility or address space needs for both Fire and
42 Police Departments.
o43 Long-Term Community Center vision and plan.
44 New Parks Amenities requests and extraordinary costs:
o45 Pickleball courts to replace old tennis court - $350,000.
o46 Dog Park at a location to be determined - $200,000.

3 Next Steps include:
4 September 9 – City Council Meeting – Staff will present the preliminary 2026 Budget
5 and Property Tax Levy to the City Council for approval. At this meeting, a resolution will
6 need to be passed certifying the preliminary levy to Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
7 October 14 – Council Work Session – Staff will present the proposed 2026 updates to the
8 long-term capital budget plans.
9 October 28 – Council Work Session – Staff will present the proposed 2026 utility rate
10 adjustments and budgets.
11 October 28 – City Council Meeting – Staff will present the 2026 long-term capital
12 budgets as revised. The requested City Council action will be the approval of 2026
13 capital levies and long-term plans.
14 December 9 – City Council Meeting – Final Presentation of 2026 Budget and Property
15 Tax Levy (Truth in Taxation) Hearing. Staff will present a recap of the final 2026 Budget
16 and the 026 Property Tax Levy’s impact on property tax bills.
17
18 Ms. Maloney summarized City Council is requested to provide comments on the Draft 2026
19 Preliminary Levy & General Fund Budget and discuss moving forward with fire staffing requests
20 and offsetting funding sources. Discussion on setting Preliminary Levy at $10,570,830 and an
21 increase of 9.18% at the September 9, 2025, meeting. This can be reduced before Final Levy
22 adoption in December and allows time for Council to further discuss the Fire Department
23 staffing request, long-term facility needs, and new parks amenities requests.
24
25 Councilmember Randle stated he is not a fan of raising the levy, but it makes sense to set it high,
26 and it could be lowered in the future. He suggested using the TIF money that has been returned
27 for the firefighters. Mayor Webster stated in looking at the 3-4 year plan, would we be setting up
28 a future City Council for a large increase. Councilmember Randle suggested this is the best use
29 of those funds. He feels some of the items on the list are not necessities.
30
31 Councilmember Doolan shared concerns about the size of the levy. She suggested looking at all
32 the levers possible to get the levy amount down to a more palatable figure. We need to do
33 something about the fire staff. She would like more information on the types of calls. She would
34 like to look at using the TIF money. There are conclusive needs right now.
35
36 Councilmember Elnagdy agreed to set the levy high, knowing it can be reduced. We need more
37 firefighters to meet OSHA safety standards. It would be easy to eliminate the dog park and
38 pickleball, if not now, it could be later.
39
40 Councilmember Jenson stated that we have no choice but to set the levy higher now. The levy
41 would not be sustainable year after year. Thinking long term, the TIF money could be used for
42 lighting upgrades, as they are lit year-round. He asked if we could wait for more TIF money to
43 come in before adding the additional 3 firefighters, and look at the breakdown of calls to the fire
44 department. The calls mirror the number of buildings that have been added.

4 Councilmember Elnagdy asked what the cost of three hockey rinks in the City is and maintain
5 them.
6
7 Mayor Webster stated that we want to be mindful of the tax levy and its impact on our residents.
8 She noted there is consensus for setting the preliminary levy at the higher amount, knowing that
9 it can be lowered.
10
11 Councilmember Doolan asked when we will have an idea about the County and State levy. She
12 requested an example of a house value and the impact of all levies. Ms. Maloney stated that it
13 will be available at the Truth in Taxation hearing.
14
2.15 Ordinance 2025-03 – An Ordinance Amending Section 154.179 of the City Code to
16 Provide for Regulations Related to Electric Vehicle Charging Requirements.
17
18 Assistant City Manager Ashley Morello reviewed the City Council's consideration of regulations
19 related to Electric Vehicle (EV) charging in a first reading of proposed Ordinance No. 2025-03
20 on August 12, 2025. The Council reviewed the draft ordinance along with the Planning
21 Commission’s comments and directed staff to modify the first draft.
22
23 The second reading increases the required minimum number of chargers for all projects with at
24 least 10 parking spaces to 10%, with all chargers required to be at least Level 2 or greater.
25
26 The City Council also asked for additional background research on the number of electric
27 vehicles in the State. There are various sources for this data, including a comprehensive list kept
28 by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (broken down by individual registration, make,
29 and County of registration), as well as the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, which
30 maintains total statistics on all vehicle registrations in the State.
31
32 Ms. Morello reviewed a table illustrating the recent years of EVs and total vehicles.
33
34 The data shows that the percentage of total registrations has been rising steadily for EVs. Note
35 that, based on the data from the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, half of the total EV
36 registrations are in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. It is also reported that of all vehicles
37 purchased in 2024, approximately 7% were Electric Vehicles.
38
39 Staff recommends approval of the 2nd Reading of the Ordinance No. 2025-03, based on the
40 City’s objectives as stated in its annual Goal Setting activities, and its Sustainability Plan.
41
42 Mayor Webster thanked Ms. Morello and stated she found the data provided helpful.
43
44 Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve 2nd Reading
45 of Ordinance 2025-03 – An Ordinance Amending Section 154.179 of the City Code to Provide
46 for Regulations Related to Electric Vehicle Charging Requirements.

MEMORANDUM
To: Saint Anthony Village City Council
From: Deborah Maloney, Finance Director
Date: September 09, 2025
Request: 2026 Preliminary Levy & General Fund Budget
BACKGROUND
On June 24, a revised Street Improvement schedule was presented for City Council input and
consideraƟon. Staff worked in coordinaƟon with the City’s engineering team to evaluate and adjust the
street reconstrucƟon schedule and proposed a pause for street projects in 2026 and 2027 and a
transiƟon to an every-other-year project cycle beginning in 2028. This modificaƟon is intended to reduce
the frequency of debt issuance while sƟll appropriately maintaining the City’s street and uƟlity
infrastructure. The proposed 2026 Debt Levy will be part of the requested approval of the Preliminary
Levy for 2026 at the September 9th City Council MeeƟng.
At the July 22 work session, Staff provided the City Council with an early projecƟon regarding the overall
levy and General Fund Budget based on known cost increases and inflaƟonary assumpƟons. Staff will
conƟnue to analyze actual costs with new informaƟon provided by vendors, contractual service
providers, and review of labor union contracts.
In efforts to be mindful of budgetary costs, staff members purchase products from state contracts
whenever possible. These vendors have been pre-veƩed by the state to ensure quality products can be
purchased at compeƟƟve prices. If local vendors offer lower prices than state contracts, these opƟons
are selected. MulƟple quotes are secured for purchases that are not available through state contracts,
and the compeƟƟve bidding process is used for contracts over $175,000 as is required by state statute.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND LEVY
The standard parameters used for preparing the General Fund Budget and Levy include:
•City revenues budgeted at current run rates for sources that are subject to trends and
conservaƟve baseline esƟmates for recurring aids and charges for services.
•Expenses budgeted at amounts that will maintain present level of City services.
•Liquor transfers to the General Fund based on liquor operaƟng results from the previous 5-7
years and the long-term needs of the fund.
As presented at the July 22, work session, excess General Fund balance is applied for easing the
transiƟon from use of one-Ɵme public safety funds by using $200,000 of general fund balance in
accordance with the City’s fund balance policy to reduce the levy.
17
THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND LEVY DETAILS
Each year the General Fund revenue and expenditure budget line items are examined for changes in
expected collecƟons/charges, labor adjustments, changes in contract rates, insurance rates, uƟlity costs,
usage of various materials or needs, etc. The findings of this examinaƟon produce the drivers associated
with the proposed increase in the overall Levy. The charts below show the cost drivers for general fund
dollars and how they are allocated.
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
SAINT ANTHONY SHARE OF POLICE COSTS – 40% of expenditures.
Beginning in 2026, Police Services will be accounted for in a segregated special revenue fund rather than
within the General Fund. To provide an accurate year-over-year comparison, the 2025 budget figures
have been adjusted to reflect this new accounƟng approach. All police related costs have been separated
from other departmental expenses for both years.
• 2025 net budgeted SAV police costs $3,915,766
• 2026 net budgeted SAV police costs $3,883,442
This represents an .83% decrease to the city in 2026 aŌer union contract COLA of 3% and wage
adjustments were applied due to having a third partner sharing in fixed costs.
PERSONNEL COSTS OTHER THAN POLICE – 37% of expenditures
The 2026 base wage increase is based on a 3% COLA for all union contracts, also applied to non-union
posiƟons. The wage and payroll expense increase for non-police posiƟons is $412,852, this includes an
esƟmate of $304,725 of wages PERA and FICA for three addiƟonal fire posiƟons.
Health insurance premiums are increasing an average of 6.7 % which is shared 50/50 by the city and the
employees. The 2026 impact of the shared increase is $106,926 assuming employee elected coverages
from 2025 are applied to 2026 and addiƟonal amounts for 3 new fire posiƟons. This increase would be
$57,894 without the addiƟon of new posiƟons.
18
CONTRACTED SERVICES – 9% of expenditures.
Contracted Services are expected to increase $122,300 based on actual 2025 costs and now increases:
•Contracted informaƟon technology costs are increasing $49,274.
•Building Permit expense is expected to move to a fixed cost versus a cost share. This expense
increase is $70,866 which is expected to be offset by an increase in the net permit revenues
retained by the city.
OTHER INSURANCE COSTS – 2% of expenditures
Overall cost is expected to increase an inflaƟonary amount of $7,226. These costs will be further
analyzed when 2026 esƟmates are available.
PASS THROUGH COSTS – 3% of expenditures
Increasing $4,700. There is no levy impact of pass-through costs.
SUPPLIES AND UTILITY COSTS – 7% of expenditures
Expected to increase $11,759. This esƟmate is based on actual expenditures for 2024 and 2024.
REMAINING BUDGET LINE ITEMS – 2% of overall expenditures
Costs expected to decrease $18,455. This decrease is due to accounƟng for Sustainability costs in its own
department within AdministraƟon rather than in Miscellaneous costs, which makes up $14,000 of this
decrease.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES
•Liquor transfer to the General Fund will be $300,000 (same as 2025).
•2025 State-funded Local Government Aid reflects increases around $2400, not a significant
impact.
•Police contracted services and police-related grants and aid revenue are now accounted for in a
special revenue fund rather than in the general fund. This is a significant decrease in general
fund revenues that are offset by a decrease in police expenditures.
•Excess Tax Increment collecƟons are projected to increase by $50,000 in 2026.
The chart below demonstrates the percentage of revenue sources that fund the General Fund:

HRA BUDGET AND LEVY
The 2026 HRA Budget and Levy is proposed at the same amount as 2025, 0% Levy increase.
The 2026 Debt Related Levies and Street improvement Levies are proposed to increase by $0 over the
2025 combined debt levies. The 2026 debt levy cerƟfied will be $1,840,953. This is an increase of
$382,258 compared to the 2025 debt levy due to the 2024 debt issue being included and having reduced
available funds on hand in 2025, leaving less availability to reduce the debt levy by funds on hand. This
increase in the debt levy will be offset by a decrease in its Infrastructure Levy by the same sum. This
results in a combined flat levy impact for the street improvement program for a seventh consecuƟve
year.
CAPITAL FUNDS
The 2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) levy is proposed to increase by $30,000. The 2026
Building Improvement levy is proposed to increase by $25,000 and the Park Improvement levy is
proposed to increase $10,000. These moderate levy increases are recommended to account for
expenses capital improvement plans. The council will review the Capital Improvement Plan and funding
opƟons in October.
PROJECTED BASE LEVY INCREASE
To date, the projected levy increase needed to maintain City services at their current levels is presented
below:
Note that preliminary levy increases for ciƟes around the Metropolitan area are anƟcipated to be in the
range of 6% -13.4%, with an average increase of 8.8%
FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFFING REQUEST
A significant factor in the 2026 budget is the Fire Department request to add staff to meet the medical
needs of the community and strive for OSHA compliance and a safer environment for fire department
staff. At the August 12 work session Chief Diaz presented a detailed overview of the current fire
department staffing structure and challenges, along with call volume data and NFPA and OSHA standards
that fire staff are unable to meet with current resources. At this work session, Finance staff also provided
an updated overall levy scenario with correlaƟng levy impacts for phasing in requested
Firefighter/Paramedic posiƟons.
STAFFING REQUEUST FUNDING OPTIONS
20
At the City Council’s work Session on August 12th, 2025, the Council expressed support for the needs of
the staffing request and asked staff to present funding opƟons to best accommodate the request and
minimize levy impact. In subsequent staff discussions, it was determined that hiring one or two posiƟons
does not adequately address the service level need. As a result, the scenarios are presented with the
assumpƟon of hiring three addiƟonal Firefighter/Paramedics, which is one for each shiŌ.
Below are opƟons for the Council to consider regarding the staffing request. These fall into 3 categories:
1.Choose not to fund addiƟonal posiƟons at this Ɵme
2.Fund three posiƟons and add the addiƟonal funding to the base levy increase
3.UƟlize one-Ɵme funds from closed TIF Districts to offset the levy impact for 3-4 years. This would
result in a jump in the tax levy when the funds are exhausted.
At the June 24, 2025 HRA meeƟng the return of closed TIF funds to Ramsey County for redistribuƟon to
jurisdicƟons was approved as discussed with the 2025 capital improvements plan. These one-Ɵme funds
of an esƟmated $990,000 were under consideraƟon for use for various future parks ameniƟes and/or
field lighƟng upgrades, with further discussion to take place During the 2026 budget discussions. At the
June 24 Council work session, the City Council expressed a desire to balance the City’s needs and wants
pertaining to some of these ameniƟes. Considering this discussion, staff have put together opƟons for
using these dollars to help fund the fire department staffing needs. Using these funds over a period of
either three or four years can help to reduce the levy impact of addiƟonal fire personnel costs.
FUNDING OPTIONS AND ASSOCIATED LEVY INCREASE
Levy Increase
1 Base levy increase without funding new Firefighter posiƟons 5.44%
2 Absorb the cost of 3 addiƟonal Firefighter/Paramedics (1 for each shiŌ) 9.18%
3
Use closed TIF District funds
returned to Ramsey County for
redistribuƟon to jurisdicƟons.
Saint Anthony’s porƟon
is esƟmated to be $990,000
Use 2/3 of available funds over 3 years to reduce levy
by $217,800 for each of 3 years – this opƟon retains 1/3
of available funds for new amenity requests
6.93%
4
Use all available funds over 4 years to reduce levy
by $247,500 for each of 4 years – this opƟon eliminates
use for new park ameniƟes requests
6.62%
5
Retain all available funds in the Capital Funds to reduce
or eliminate levy increases for as many years as possible
– this opƟon likely eliminates use for new park ameniƟes
requests
TBD
Preliminary levy increases for ciƟes around the Metropolitan area are anƟcipated to be in the range of 6% -
13.4%, with an average increase of 8.8%
OVERALL LEVY FOR 2026
The overall levy presented includes the General Fund, Housing Redevelopment Authority (HRA), Capital
Equipment, Building, Parks and Debt and Infrastructure Improvement Funds levies.
The proposed 2026 overall levy opƟons are listed above. IniƟally these opƟons ranged from a 5.44% to a
9.18% increase over the 2025 total levy. At the August 26, 2025 council meeƟng, staff were instructed to
21
move forward with the 9.18% increase for the preliminary levy and conƟnue to research opƟons for
reducing the levy while reviewing capital fund plans.

to be $3,883,442 for 2026.
This represents an .83% decrease to the city in 2026 after union contract COLA of
3% and wage adjustments were applied.
This is due to the addition of a third partner in police services and sharing of fixed
costs.

PERSONNEL COSTS OTHER THAN POLICE
37% of expenditures
The 2026 base wage increase is based a 3% COLA for all union contracts, also
applied to non-union positions
The wage and payroll expense increase for non-police positions is $412,852, this
includes an estimate of $304,725 of wages PERA and FICA for 3 additional fire
positions, if approved
Health insurance premiums are increasing an average of 6.7 % which is shared
50/50 by the city and the employees.
The 2026 impact of the shared increase is $106,926 assuming the same employee
elected coverage from 2025 are applied to 2026 and additional amounts for 3 new
fire positions. Removing the 3 FD positions would reduce the increase by $49,032.
2026 Budget Cost Drivers
CONTRACTED SERVICES
9% of expenditures
Contracted Services are expected to increase $122,300 based on actual 2025
costs and known increases
Contracted information technology costs up $49,274.
A large share is due to costs associated with police services and is shared with
police partners.
Building Permit expense is being considered to move to a fixed cost share in
partnership with another city vs the current cost share with a contracted vendor.
This expense increase is $70,866 which is expected to be offset by an increase in
the net permit revenues retained by the city.

ordinance is intended to strengthen the City’s ability to address licensing and identification of dogs that
have been identified as dangerous and potentially dangerous, and incorporates relevant state law in this
regard.
The draft modifies the ordinance language slightly based on the City Council’s review of the original
version as discussed at the Council’s August 26 work session. The redlined text in the ordinance denotes
the updates based on the work session.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this 1st reading of Ordinance No. 2025-04. Any additional modifications
will be reflected in the 2nd reading of the Ordinance at an upcoming meeting.

ORDINANCE 2025-04
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 91 OF THE SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE
CITY CODE REGULATING THE KEEPING AND LICENSING OF DANGEROUS
DOGS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT ANTHONY VILLAGE HEREBY
ORDAINS:
Section 1.Section §91.32 is hereby deleted in its entirety, and amended to read as
follows:
91.32 DANGEROUS OR DISEASED ANIMALS.
(A) Incorporation by Reference. Minnesota Statutes § 347.50 through 347.565 are hereby
incorporated by reference and adopted as part of this chapter. Incorporation of said
statutes shall not be a release by the city of any powers or authority which it has without
such incorporation.
(B) Designation. Police officers or others designated by the City Manager may declare a
dog to be a dangerous dog or a potentially dangerous dog as defined by M.S. § 347.50. If
a dog is declared a dangerous dog or a potentially dangerous dog, a notice shall be
delivered or mailed to the owner, informing the owner of the designation, the basis for
the designation, the procedures for appealing the designation as set forth in Section 91.40,
and the result of a failure to contest the designation as set forth in Section 91.38. No
person may own a dangerous dog in the City unless the dog is registered and licensed
with the City as such.
(C) Requirements for Licensing a Dangerous Dog - The City Manager, or designee, will,
upon application by the Owner, issue a certificate of registration to the Owner of a
dangerous Dog if the Owner presents evidence that:
(1) A proper enclosure exists for the dangerous animal;
(2) A warning sign provided by the City, to inform children that there is a
dangerous dog on the property, has been placed on the animal Owner’s property.
The warning symbol must be the uniform symbol provided by the commissioner
of public safety. The City may charge the registrant a reasonable fee to cover its
administrative costs and the cost of the warning symbol.
(3) the Owner has procured a surety bond issued by a surety company authorized
to do business in Minnesota, in a form acceptable to the City in at least the sum of
$300,000 payable to any person injured by the animal or, alternatively, the Owner
has in place a policy of insurance providing the same protection.
(4) the Owner of a dangerous animal must have had an identification microchip
implanted in the dangerous animal, and the City has been provided with the name
of the microchip manufacturer and identification number of the microchip must
be provided to the animal control authority. If the microchip is not implanted by
the Owner, it may be implanted by the animal control authority. In either case, all
costs related to purchase and implantation of the microchip must be borne by the
dog’s owner.
(D) Dangerous Dog designation review - Beginning six months after an animal is
declared dangerous; an Owner may request annually that the animal control authority
40
2
review the designation. The Owner must provide evidence that the animal's behavior has
changed due to the animal's age, neutering, environment, completion of obedience
training that includes modification of aggressive behavior, or other factors. If the animal
control authority finds sufficient evidence that the animal's behavior has changed, the
authority may amend the dangerous dog designation to potentially dangerous dog.
(E) Regulation of Dangerous Dogs – So long as the Dangerous Dog assignment is in
effect upon the animal;
(1)An Owner of a dangerous animal shall keep the animal, while on the Owner’s
property, in a proper enclosure. If the dangerous animal is outside the proper
enclosure, the animal must be muzzled and restrained by a substantial chain or
leash, which may not exceed six feet in length. The chain or leash must be under
the control of an individual 18 years of age or older.
(2)An Owner of a dangerous animal must renew the registration of the animal
annually until it is deceased. Renewal of registration must include proof of up-to-
date rabies vaccinations.
(3)An Owner of a dangerous animal must notify the City in writing of the
animal’s death or its transfer to a new location within 30 days of death or transfer,
and must execute an affidavit of death or transfer as requested by the City.
(4)An Owner of a dangerous animal must have the animal sterilized at the
Owner’s expense. The Owner must provide proof of sterilization of the animal to
the City. If the Owner does not have the animal sterilized within 30 days of the
dangerous animal determination, the animal control authority shall seize the
animal and have the animal sterilized at the Owner’s expense.
(5)The Owner of a dangerous animal who rents property from another, must
notify the property Owner, prior to signing the lease agreement and at the time of
any lease renewal that the person owns a dangerous animal that will also reside at
the property.
(6)A person that transfers a dangerous animal must notify the new Owner that the
animal has been identified as dangerous, and must also notify the City in writing,
providing the new Owner’s name, address and telephone number.
(7)The City shall seize a dangerous animal if, after 14 days after the Owner has
notice that the animal is dangerous, the animal is not validly registered as a
dangerous animal or the Owner has not secured the required liability insurance or
surety coverage. The City may seize a dangerous animal if any other of the
requirements contained in this subdivision have not been met. A seized animal
may be reclaimed upon payment of impounding and confinement costs and proof
that the requirements of this Ordinance have been met. An animal not reclaimed
within seven days will be destroyed, and the Owner will be liable for all costs
incurred in confining and disposing of the animal. A person claiming an interest
in a seized animal may prevent disposition of the animal by posting security in an
amount sufficient to provide for the animal's actual cost of care and keeping. The
security must be posted within 7 14 days of the seizure inclusive of the date of the
seizure.
(8)Law enforcement; exemption. Nothing contained in this Ordinance shall apply
to dogs used for law enforcement purposes by a law enforcement agency.
(F) Exemption. Animals may not be declared dangerous if the threat, injury, or damage
was sustained by a person:
(1)Who was committing, at the time, a willful trespass or other tort upon the
41
3
premises occupied by the Owner of the animal;
(2) Who was provoking, tormenting, abusing, or assaulting the animal or who can
be shown to have repeatedly, in the past, provoked, tormented, abused, or
assaulted the animal; or
(3) Who was committing or attempting to commit a crime.
(G) Registration Fee. The annual fee to obtain a certificate of registration for a dangerous
dog or potentially dangerous dog shall be per fee schedule.
(H) Potentially Dangerous Dogs
(1) If a dog determined to meet the definition, per M.S. § 347.50, of a potentially
dangerous dog repeats, at any point following the determination, any of the
criteria established to make the determination, the dog shall be considered a
dangerous dog.
(2) Potentially Dangerous Dog designation review - Beginning six months after
an animal is declared potentially dangerous; an Owner may request annually that
the animal control authority review the designation. The Owner must provide
evidence that the animal's behavior has changed due to the animal's age,
neutering, environment, completion of obedience training that includes
modification of aggressive behavior, or other factors. If the animal control
authority finds sufficient evidence that the animal's behavior has changed, the
authority may rescind the potentially dangerous dog designation.
Section 2. Section §91.40 is hereby amended to read as follows:
91.40 APPEALS.
(A) Any owner who feels aggrieved by a dangerous dog notice or order of the Chief of
Police, or the Chief’s designee may request a hearing before the City Council, which
serves as the city’s Hearing Officer, by filing an appeal in writing with the Chief of
Police within 14 days after receipt of the notice or order. Upon the filing of such appeal,
no further action shall be taken by the city until the matter has been decided by the City
Council and all appeals or appeal opportunities have been exhausted. The owner may
appear with or without legal counsel and present evidence in opposition to the notice or
order. Following the appeals hearing, the City Council shall make a determination of
facts and shall, based upon such determination, affirm, repeal, or modify the Police
Chief’s notice or order. The City Council shall also establish a date for compliance with
the order as affirmed or modified, which date shall be not less than ten (10) days
thereafter, in compliance with M.S. § 347.541.
Section 3. The City Clerk is hereby directed to make the changes required by this Ordinance
as part of the Official St. Anthony City Code, and to renumber the tables and
chapters accordingly as necessary to provide the intended effect of this
Ordinance. The City Clerk is further directed to make necessary corrections to
any internal citations that result from said renumbering process, provided that
such changes retain the purpose and intent of the Ordinance as has been adopted.
Section 4.This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and
publication. This ordinance may be published by summary publication, per a duly
adopted resolution of the City Council. The ordinance in its entirety shall be

GC Project No.140.00
Property Location:NA
Request: Electric Vehicle Charging Regulations – Third Reading
BACKGROUND
In August, the City Council considered regulations related to Electric Vehicle (EV) charging in first and
second readings of proposed Ordinance No. 2025-03. The Council reviewed the staff ordinance along
with the Planning Commission’s comments, and directed staff to modify the first reading draft. Those
modifications were made and considered at the second reading. Also included with the prior version
were registration data documenting the increasing number of EVs on the road, and the relative number
of EVs as a percentage of all new vehicle registrations.
The final draft increases forwards the prior language for this third reading of the ordinance, including
setting the required minimum number of chargers for all projects at least 10 parking spaces to 10%, with
all chargers required to be at least Level 2 or greater.
CONCLUSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommend approval of the 3rd Reading of the attached Ordinance No. 2025-03, based on the
City’s objectives as stated in its annual Goal Setting activities, and its Sustainability Plan.
