2.Work Session Topics
A.2026 Debt Levy and Street Improvement Plan
Finance Director Maloney reviewed a PowerPoint on the 2026 Debt Levy. A debt levy is a standard
practice for local governments to utilize tax-exempt bond financing to fund major capital projects. These
typically include:
Street and utility reconstruction – as needed.
Park Improvements, trails, and sidewalks – as needed.
Building improvements or replacements – as needed.
Major equipment purchases – e.g., fire trucks, typically once per decade.
June 24, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 2
The Street and Utility Improvement Process includes regular street improvements, which are a main
driver of the debt levy. Detailed Engineering & Financial planning begin approximately one year in
advance of the construction start date. The process involves:
The City Manager, City Engineer, Public Works Director, and Finance Director review the street
reconstruction schedule and revise it as needed.
City Engineer presents an updated street reconstruction schedule to City Council and seeks
approval for a feasibility report on upcoming years' projects.
Next steps are Council acceptance of the feasibility report, hold public informational meetings,
approve plans, and authorize bids.
Upon the opening of the bids, the expected construction costs are used to update the impact on
the existing debt levy.
The sources for Street Improvement and Debt Service Funds include Street Improvement debt levy,
bond proceeds, assessments, Municipal State Aid (MSA) allocation, One-time revenues, and project
savings. The uses for Street Improvement and Debt Service Funds include Street improvement debt
service, street reconstruction, utility reconstruction, streetlights, sidewalks, mill & overlays, and alleys.
The Street Improvement Schedule was a two-year-on, one-year-off schedule. It was revised to pause
street projects in 2026 and 2027 and transition to an every-other-year project cycle beginning in 2028.
This accommodates the Kenzie Terrace reconstruction by Hennepin County, which increases project
costs. The revised schedule creates a declining debt levy. Ms. Maloney provided two charts showing
Debt Levy Planning and Less Frequent Debt Issues. She noted that if project scope and costs remain
stable, the street infrastructure fund balance will increase enough to support smaller future projects
without borrowing.
Ms. Maloney recommends that the City Council discuss the revised street improvement schedule and its
alignment with projected debt capacity. Key points for consideration include:
Confirming the updated timing of upcoming street reconstruction phases, including proposed
off-years.
Reviewing the City’s existing debt service schedule and capacity for future bonding.
Also provided for City Council consideration were the PowerPoint presentation, 2026 Revised CIP –
Street Projects, 2026 Debt Levy model, and 2026 Levy Transition model.
Councilmember Doolan asked about 2030 on Rankin Road from County Road 88 to 31st, there is no
assessment. Ms. Maloney stated that it is correct because that is maintenance mill and overlay.
Mayor Webster thanked Ms. Maloney for outlining the thinking for this plan. She appreciates the
estimates from the Staff on when the streets will need repair. Mr. Yunker stated that the prior process
was pushing streets out too far for repairs from an engineering perspective.
Mayor Pro Tem Jenson referred to the chart included in the packet and noted $2.487M+ is the debt cap
and the debt levy that will be executed, savings that can be banked for future expensive projects.
Councilmember Doolan asked about the colored columns, with the left-hand column stating the
infrastructure levy that would be used, and the right-hand column stating the Amount levied less prior
bond eliminations. The future projects are not included.
B.Infrastructure Planning Discussion
June 24, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 3
Finance Director Maloney reviewed a PowerPoint on Infrastructure Planning. The City Budget Overview
was reviewed:
Guiding framework for local government to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
Shapes how the City operates and allocates resources to fulfill Council priorities and community
goals.
Establishes framework for city services, programs, and projects.
Dictates how funds are distributed to essential areas (public safety, infrastructure, public works,
etc.).
Defines our financial capacity to meet residents’ needs and desires.
The Annual Budget Roadmap shows:
January – Goal Setting.
February – Budget hearing for the public.
April – Complete Audit & Wrap Prior Fiscal Year.
June – Develop Debt Levy & Road Improvement Schedule.
August – Propose Operating & Capital Budget & Property Tax Levy.
December – Adopt Operations Budget & Tax Levy.
Ms. Maloney reviewed City Functions and Priorities:
Administration
Finance
Public Safety – Police & Fire
Public Works
Infrastructure & Parks
Municipal Liquor Stores
Community Priorities include:
Dedicated Police and Fire Departments with rapid emergency response (less than 3 minutes)
24/7/365.
Reliable Public Works provides snow removal from streets and sidewalks, street maintenance,
water and sewer utilities, park amenities, and supports community activities.
Continued commitment to environmental sustainability and climate resilience.
Robust communications function to ensure the community feels informed and engaged.
Long-range financial planning and responsible use of taxpayer funds to maintain city services
and quality infrastructure.
The City’s Funding Sources categories include Tax Levy (Property Taxes), Intergovernmental (Grants &
Partner Contracts), Fees (Licenses, Permits, Fines, Utility charges), Sales (Municipal Retail Operations),
and Debt (Bonds).
Ms. Maloney provided a summary of Fund Categories and the Primary Funding Source for each. Charts
showing Tax Levy and How the Money Flows were presented. A table titled “What Debt is Utilized For”
included Infrastructure Categories, Needs and Requests, and Funding Source was displayed.
The City Council has been asked to discuss and provide feedback on upcoming facilities and parks’
amenity needs and desires, and their financial impact, including appropriate timing, funding strategy,
and other considerations. The intent is to begin discussion for further consideration. The council can
give directions on item(s) now, but it is not necessary at this time.
June 24, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 4
City Manager Yunker referred to the pyramid item for a City Infrastructure Plan. These include major
park work and buildings in the future. This includes when equipment in parks needs to be replaced. This
presentation is an introduction to help facilitate a future conversation when the CIP is reviewed in the
Fall.
Councilmember Doolan noted that this is a good strategy to have it all in one discussion and bring it all
together.
Councilmember Elnagdy thanked the Staff for providing this helpful visual.
Councilmember Randle agreed that this is laid out well. The overall health of the buildings should be the
priority. The luxuries could be considered after. Ms. Morello stated the PEC has expressed interest in
exploring some of the park amenities, and a balance needs to be considered for all infrastructure needs.
Mr. Yunker stated there is a tennis court that needs to be repaired or decommissioned, which would be
a possibility for a pickleball court. At Central Park, lighting is also being requested, and there would be
ROI. This is an ageing infrastructure and is a want and a need.
Councilmember Elnagdy asked where the $200K is coming from, and Mr. Yunker stated it came from
WSB as a general number for a dog park.
Mayor Pro Tem Jenson added that with this information, a spreadsheet is created with needs and
estimated costs, and in the other column are the wants with the estimated costs. This helps the Council
prioritize.
Mayor Webster stated she appreciates the overview, and this helps the Council shift its perspective
thinking about infrastructure more broadly. She noted how we look at funding when the needs of our
residents change. We want young families to continue to move to St. Anthony.
Councilmember Doolan stated it is important to see it all laid out together. If something came up that
needed to be taken care of, we can make better decisions to meet that need.
Future Agenda Items:
The next Work Session Meeting will be held on July 8, 2025.
Adjournment:
Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Elnagdy, to adjourn the meeting.
Motion carried 5-0.
The meeting adjourned at 6:15 p.m.
MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:July 8, 2025
Request: Worksession Discussion – Rental Housing
BACKGROUND
The City has been investigating options for rental housing regulation. In May of this year, the City
Council and Planning Commission convened in a worksession to address rental housing, including both
short- and long-term regulations. In June, staff brought a series of proposed amendments based on that
direction to the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing. The Commission made an
extensive series of comments and recommendations on both short-term and long-term rental housing
regulation. The subsequent table illustrates the proposed ordinance language with comments from the
Planning Commission and additional context from staff.
The proposed ordinance text addresses short-term rentals from the standpoint of prohibiting that use.
The first 9 sections of the ordinance address this prohibition, making it more explicit (rather than relying
on the implicit prohibition under current language) per previous discussion. The Planning Commission
voted to table action on these portions of the ordinance, pending an opportunity to create language
that expressly allows and regulates short-term rentals housing.
Section 10 of the ordinance addresses limitations on long-term rental housing. The Commission
recommended a series of modifications to the proposed language, and reached some consensus on the
methods of their proposed approach.
Accompanying the ordinance-form materials examined below, staff also presented draft informal draft
language that would establish the administrative procedures for implementing the ordinance. This
language is proposed to be added given the lack of several details in regulating and tracking rental
housing in the current City Code.
Finally, staff has also generated language for administrative enforcement of this and other City
permitting processes, including fines and appeals processes. That language is not included with the
materials for this worksession, but would be presented again for Council consideration when these
ordinances are ready for formal consideration.
In the following material, staff provides the proposed draft ordinance language, and the Planning
Commission’s modifications in a side-by-side comparison. The intent is to develop a specific direction
for Council policy, per the prior worksession, utilizing the draft ordinance as a baseline, and modifying
that draft if the Council wishes to do so.
Draft Ordinance Planning Commission Comment Staff Comment
Sections 1 and 2.
Section §154.007 DEFINITIONS
(Zoning) and §152.05 DEFINTIONS
(Rental Housing) amended to add
the following:
RESIDENCE OR RESIDENTIAL USE: A
dwelling unit that is intended for
occupancy for no less than 30
consecutive days, whether owned or
rented.
SHORT-TERM RENTAL UNIT: A form
of transient occupancy, similar to
motels or other such uses, in a
residential zoning district for which
occupancy of a residential building,
room, or suite of rooms is offered,
rented, or used, for periods of fewer
than 30 consecutive days.
MOTEL (Includes
“HOTEL”). Premises furnishing
sleeping or overnight stopping
accommodations for travelers and
other transient guests for stays of
fewer than 30 consecutive days.
No specific discussion; However,
Planning Commission’s intent would
be to redefine terms to
accommodate Short-term rental
housing in residential areas.
Commission voted to table these
sections of the code to further
discuss and allow Short-term rental
housing.
The Commission’s comments
focused on the idea that well-run
short-term rentals could be an asset
to the community. One member of
the public was present (and
submitted written materials) to
express support for allowing short-
term rental housing.
Section 3. Section §154.051 (A) is
hereby amended to read as follows:
(A)Single-family detached
residential dwellings, but not
including short term rentals;
Same note as above.Sections 3-9 explicitly
exclude short term
rental housing from the
allowed residential use
in the various zoning
districts.
Section 10.Section §152.08 is
hereby amended to read as follows:
(A) LICENSE REQUIRED. It is
unlawful to operate a rental
dwelling in the city without first
having obtained a license from the
city. An owner must obtain a license
for each rental dwelling. If the rental
dwelling contains two or more units,
and has a common owner and a
common property identification
number, the owner may obtain a
single license for the rental dwelling.
No changes (existing language).
(B) NUMBER OF LICENSED RENTAL
UNITS PER OWNER.
(1) No individual owner, including
any natural person, partnership,
company, corporation or
organization however formed, shall
own or have any ownership interest
in more than four (4) single family
rental or non-homestead residential
dwellings in the City. An ownership
interest shall include fee interest,
partial or whole financial interest in
any corporate or business form that
owns single family rental properties,
any partial or whole financial
interest in any trust or other
organization that owns single family
rental properties, or any other
interest of the kind. The City shall
not issue any license for the rental
of a single-family residence to
anyone who already has such an
interest in four (4) or more rental or
non-homestead single family
residences in the City.
The Planning Commission preferred
the following approach:
Limit an individual’s
ownership to 15% of the
total number of licensed
rental houses.
Apply the cap at the time a
house is converted from
owner- to renter-occupied
and a rental license is
applied for.
Require disclosure of other
ownership by an affidavit
from the applicant seeking a
rental license.
Currently, there are
approximately 60
licensed rental
properties, meaning an
individual could hold
ownership interest in
up to 9 units.
Note that under
Paragraph (C) below,
rentals could rise to
more than 200. This
clause would allow an
individual to have
ownership in 30 or
more units.
This would grandfather
in existing ownership
levels (which the City
has not tracked
previously).
This process is used in
other such self-
disclosure processes.
(B)(2)EXCEPTIONS.
a. The limits of this Section shall not
apply to a bona fide housing
program of any agency of the State
of Minnesota or of the Metropolitan
Council.
Subp. b. will be shifted
to its own paragraph so
as to apply to all
Sections, not just to
the Exception
paragraph.
(C) NUMBER OF LICENSED RENTAL
UNITS IN THE CITY. The total
number of single-family rental
licenses shall not exceed ten percent
(10%) of the total number of single
family detached houses in the City
as determined by the City of St.
Anthony based on the City’s
available data. In addition, the
number of licensed rental single-
family units shall not exceed ten
percent (10%) of the total number
of single family detached houses in
each of four subareas of the City,
The Commission did not suggest any
alternative to the proposed 10% cap
on rental licenses, although some
suggested that the City would have
adequate time to create such a cap
if there were an unusual growth in
the number of such rentals.
each of the subareas defined as
follows:
(1) Subarea 1 shall be all single-
family homes lying north of 37th
Avenue NE.
(2) Subarea 2 shall be all single-
family homes lying south of 37th
Avenue NE and north of 33rd
Avenue NE.
(3) Subarea 3 shall be all single-
family homes lying south of 33rd
Avenue NE and north of 29th
Avenue NE.
(4) Subarea 4 shall be all single-
family homes lying south of 29th
Avenue NE.
(C)(2)EXCEPTIONS.
a. The City Council may issue such a
license to an owner in a hardship
case for a temporary rental period
of up to twelve (12) months.
The Commission recommended an
alternative approach which would
qualify any homesteading applicant
an exemption from the caps on
rental licenses. This would permit
homesteaded owners under any
situation to convert their property
to rental housing. However, a
future buyer of the property would
not have this exemption, since they
would not meet the requirement of
being a homestead owner.
It appears that this
approach would
potentially permit any
number of single-
family homes to be
converted to rental
property, but would
restrict the sale of
rental housing to
homesteading buyers
only.
COUNCIL ACTION
For worksession purposes, Staff is seeking direction for ordinance development and presentation to the
City Council for consideration and adoption.

(E) Renewal of license. An owner may continue to rent a dwelling after the expiration day of the license
provided the owner has filed with the city on or before June 30, the appropriate renewal license
application and license fee. The issuance of a license under this chapter shall be considered a privilege
and not an absolute right of the owner and shall not entitle the owner to an automatic renewal of the
license. Allowing the owner to continue to rent while the renewal is being processed does not obligate
the city to automatically renew the license. Failure to submit the renewal license application and license

occupant may contact the city and request an inspection of the rental dwelling by the City Manager or
designee upon showing proof that the owner or resident agent had been properly notified and has been
given a reasonable time in which to correct deficiencies. The cost of the inspection shall be paid by the
owner if the city’s inspection reveals actual deficiencies as described by the occupant. If the inspection
by the city substantiates the claim of non-compliance made by the occupant, the city inspector shall
issue a compliance order to the owner or resident agent establishing the scope of work and timeframe
for completion. The cost of the inspection to affirm the work identified in the compliance order shall be
paid by the owner in the amount established in the city fee schedule.
[* Fee schedule requires amending to identify $50 r-inspection fee]
152.13 CONDUCT ON LICENSED PREMISES; VIOLATIONS.
(A) Owner responsible. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or resident agent to see that persons
occupying the rental dwelling conduct themselves in such a manner as not to cause the premises to be
disorderly. This section applies to all licenses. For purposes of this section, a rental dwelling is disorderly

dwelling or the premises surrounding it fails to meet the provisions of this subchapter, other applicable
city code provisions or the International Property Maintenance Code, he or she may issue a compliance
order setting forth the specific violations and ordering the owner to correct such violations. Failure to
meet the expectations stated within a compliance order issued for a violation of any section of city code
may result in the City Council denying, suspending, revoking or not renewing a rental license consistent
with the procedures established in section 152.15
152.15 HEARING PROCEDURE.
(A) Scheduling of hearing. If the city makes a determination that it will be denying, suspending, revoking
or not renewing a license pursuant to this subchapter, or if the owner or resident agent is appealing the
compliance order pursuant to §152.12, §152.13 or 152.14 the City Council shall conduct a hearing on the
matter. The hearing shall be scheduled at the next regular City Council meeting following the date of the
notice or receipt of the owner’s notice of appeal of a compliance order.
