Absent: Councilmembers Elnagdy and Randle. Staff: City Manager Charlie Yunker and Assistant City Manager Ashley Morello. Others: Evan Doran – President and CEO of The Doran Group. Call to Order: Mayor Webster called the Work Session to order at 5:52 p.m. 1.Approval of CC WS Meeting Minutes. A.September 9, 2025 City Council Work Session Minutes. Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the City Council Work Session Minutes of September 9, 2025, as presented. Motion carried 3-0. 2.Work Session Topics. A.Ruby Phase 2. Mayor Webster requested that Mr. Doran walk the Council through the steps of Phase I and Phase II. Mr. Evan Doran, President and CEO of the Doran Group, stated that they began discussing the development of this property when it was referred to as the Walmart property in 2018-2019. They closed on the transaction in 2019. The proposal was for a 490-unit project. The Walmart property was divided into two halves for each phase of the project. One large parking podium was planned to be on grade due to soil issues found. The clubhouse design was planned to accommodate the entire community of 490 units. The parking garage has a temporary wall. Construction began in April of 2020. Mr. Doran reviewed the reasons for requesting the extension. He stated that Phase I and Phase II were able to receive TIF funds. Ehlers aided in running the revised TIF numbers. They are motivated to get the project going for Phase II. Councilmember Jenson asked what the occupancy rate is currently for Phase I, and Mr. Doran stated 92% occupied and 95% leased. Councilmember Jenson asked when Phase I reached 90%. Mr. Doran stated they reached 90% roughly at the beginning of 2024. That is a reasonable fill rate. It takes approximately a year to rent 150 units. Councilmember Jenson asked if they had any other multi-family units under construction in the Twin Cities area. Mr. Doran stated they have one other project currently 3 September 23, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 2 in Maple Grove. Councilmember Jenson referred to the TIF District, and TIF money is received after the project is complete. Mr. Doran stated that the payments for any TIF note are based on the increment generated. Until tax is generated in Phase II, the monies are not paid. The TIF's last payment is in 2031. There is not enough time to obtain full gain. There are mechanisms to extend the TIF window, and research needs to be done to see if this project would qualify. This is a redevelopment district. Councilmember Jenson asked if Doran is totally committed to finishing this project, and Mr. Doran stated they most definitely are. They have made a significant investment in the project. Councilmember Jenson stated he knows some residents who are happy living there. Mayor Webster stated it was helpful for her to understand the reasons for phasing as explained. Currently, in St. Anthony, there are 4400 rental units. 10% of housing would be new housing with the completion of Phase II. Councilmember Doolan stated that TIF is a tool to incentivize growth and has a significant impact on Silverlake Village. It also shifts the cost burden of providing additional services to homeowners. It is a tool that has had a challenging result for the community. There is a growing need for city services, but no base to pay for them. That is one of the things they are trying to balance. One of the other things she learned is the unintended consequences of increasing the population. This puts more stress on residents who live in housing that is affordable. This puts a burden on seniors, especially those living in the Legends. Some pay up to 80% of their income because of rent increases. She referred to the strategic plan and the need for affordable housing. She referred to Met Council and County programs and resources for affordable housing. This project was not set up with any affordable requirements. She would like to ask if that can be considered when asking for help in bringing in other regional resources to help with funding. She asked what the need is right now for the same type of matching project right next to it. There is a significant senior community that will be looking at moving into independent community living in the next decade. She has a friend who has been on Hayden Grove’s wait list since they opened, and she is now #50 on the list. There is a significant demand in the community for senior housing specifically. She asked Mr. Doran if he was willing to look at other alternatives to make it more of a development that fits a different community need now. Mr. Doran stated he respects her concerns and her desire to create housing for all people, both demographically and across the price spectrum. Their organization is classically a market-rate developer. When they add housing at the market rate level, how does that impact affordable, NOAH, or senior housing? Their project in Maple Grove is an active adult project, and it is the first time they have looked at doing senior-oriented housing. He understands the need to think through and design, as a City, an inclusive process that also invites lots of different types of housing. The challenge with affordable housing in general is that there is an AMI threshold with a government tie-in. A certain percentage of units is set aside for certain AMI. It takes a unique set of funding sources. 100% of the equity comes from some form of grant program in some part, but also, substantially, the money comes from tax credit investors. Most lenders specialize in affordable or market-rate housing. There are only a few that do both. This is especially challenging when the buildings are connected or have different phases. They had discussions with Ramsey County several months ago about whether there was an opportunity for an equitable interest in aligning their affordability goals and policies with what they could provide. There is such a cost burden on affordable housing, and it needs to be funded typically with those tax credit investors. Most affordable housing developers are non-profit and are tax-free as an entity. Mr. Doran explained the difference between Active Adult and traditional Senior Housing. He shared some of their market research findings. Councilmember Doolan asked about the energy standards they follow in their development. Mr. Doran stated they reserve 20% of their parking spaces for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. They work closely with Xcel Energy for construction recommendations concerning energy. Councilmember Doolan 4 September 23, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 3 asked if there is separate metering for each unit for water, electricity, and gas. Mr. Doran stated that water is typically not metered, but gas and electricity are individually metered. Councilmember Doolan asked if units are set up with gas and electricity. Most of the units are electric with EnergyStar appliances. Mr. Doran reviewed that they are requesting a two-year extension of their entitlements to develop the second phase of the Ruby Apartments. While the team remains committed to advancing this project, they are currently facing ongoing economic challenges that have significantly impacted the financial feasibility of the second phase. To raise debt and equity for a multifamily development project in the current economic environment, the project must have a minimum 7% return on investment. Return on Cost is defined as the Net Operating Income divided by the Total Development Costs. Mr. Doran provided five development scenarios for City Council review: Scenario 1: Base Case. Construction cost estimates based on Spring 2025 estimates. Taxes are modeled based on current assessments on Ruby Phase 1. Rents are based on Phase 1 market performance. Findings: 5.76% Return on Cost. Scenario 2: Rent Adjustment Only. We assumed a 10% increase in rents beyond our current rental rate. Findings: 6.53% Return on Cost. Scenario 3: Tax and Fee Adjustment Only. Assumes elimination of city-assessed taxes and city-assessed SAC fees. Findings: 5.91% Return on Cost. Scenario 4: Cost Reduction Only. Assumes a $3 million reduction in construction costs. Findings: 6.04% Return on Cost. Scenario 5: Combined Adjustments. Incorporates all three modifications: elimination of city-assessed taxes and SAC fees, a $3 million construction cost reduction, and increased rents. Findings: 7.02% Return on Cost. Mr. Doran stated that, given these circumstances, he respectfully requests an extension of their entitlements to allow time for market conditions to stabilize and for them to pursue solutions that can make Ruby Apartments Phase II feasible. They are not asking for the Council or staff to consider making any tax, cost, or rent-related actions related to the project at this time. Also provided for the City Council’s consideration are spreadsheets showing the five scenarios in detail. Mayor Webster thanked Mr. Doran for the discussion. She noted this will be coming to an October City Council meeting to consider approval of an extension. 5 September 23, 2025 Saint Anthony Council Work Session - 4 Councilmember Doolan asked what would be different in two years. She noted the site was not left in a state that is a long-term let it sit. If we were to agree to an extension, she would like to see something done with what has been left on the site for two years. It is an eyesore and demoralizing to look at a construction fence with nothing behind it. Future Agenda Items: The next Work Session Meeting will be held on October 14, 2025. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m. 6 MEMORANDUM To:Saint Anthony Village City Council From:Deborah Maloney, Finance Director Date:October 14, 2025 Request: Proposed 2026 Capital Funds Budget BACKGROUND A Capital Funds Plan, also referred to as a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), is a multi-year roadmap that outlines the City’s planned investments in major physical assets such as roads, buildings, utilities, parks, and large equipment, along with the funding strategies to support them. By establishing this long-term perspective, the City is able to allocate sufficient time to explore and evaluate alternatives for asset replacement, ensuring informed and strategic decision-making. The Building, Capital Equipment, and Parks Improvement Funds are levy funded and all play a key role in supporting the City’s capital program. Staff, in collaboration with department directors, reviewed each of these funds to identify opportunities to defer planned replacements where existing assets were found to have remaining useful life, and to incorporate new items requiring immediate repair or replacement due to urgent operational needs. Equipment replacement schedules are proactively managed to ensure resource availability and maximize asset longevity. However, equipment is not replaced automatically based on schedule alone—condition, performance, and remaining useful life are carefully considered. Additionally, new equipment options are assessed for improved functionality, lower initial costs, and reduced long-term operating expenses, ensuring the City continues to invest in capital improvements with efficiency and fiscal responsibility. NOTABLE UPDATES BY FUND Building Improvement Fund The Building Improvement Fund accounts for costs for replacement and large maintenance items needed for city owned buildings. Significant projected costs for 2026 are identified by location and listed below. City Hall/Police Facilities Advertisements for bids have been published regarding renovations at the police station to accommodate staffing needs are anticipated to be around $290,000 in 2025 with additional costs around $50,000 in 2026. Other significant costs for this building in 2026 include: Fire alarm panels will no longer be supported and require replacement; we are anticipating this cost to be around $25,000. Building water heaters have been deferred, and we will review this need again in 2026. Cost expected to be around $26,000. PD overhead garage doors need replacement. Cost expected to be around $22,500. 7 Fire Station Roof Replacement The Fire Station roof replacement was deferred in 2025 due to higher-priority solar-related roofing projects on public buildings. The work is now scheduled for 2026, with an estimated cost of $100,000. Water Heater Replacement The Fire Station's water heaters are scheduled for replacement in 2026, with an estimated cost of $18,000. Bay Air Exhaust System Replacement The exhaust system in the Fire Station bay requires replacement in 2026. The total estimated cost is $95,000, with $80,000 expected to be offset by grant funding. Public Works Alarm Panel Replacement The alarm panels at the Public Works building have become obsolete and need to be replaced in 2026. The estimated cost is $20,000. HVAC System Upgrades The replacement of four Rooftop Units (RTUs), originally scheduled for 2025, has been postponed to 2026. This includes the RTUs, a Makeup Air Unit, Air Handling Unit, Exhaust Fans, and HVAC controls. The combined estimated cost is $76,000. Park Buildings Central Park Pavilion 2026 Planned costs for the Central Park Pavilion are scheduled exterior updates that are expected to cost around $12,000 and water heater replacement at an estimated cost of $3,000. Emerald Park Pavilion The Emeral Park Pavilion costs for 2026 are HVAC replacements at a cost of around $14,000 and exterior updates of $5,000. Silver Point Park warming house 2026 Costs for Silver Point Park warming house include security/camera upgrades of around $8,300 and exterior updates of gutters and facia expected to cost around $8,000. Liquor Stores Marketplace Anticipated expenses at the Marketplace Liquor store are security upgrades including camera and entrance control upgrades at an expected cost of approximately $47,000, roof replacement at a cost of around $40,000, and Dispensary construction costs TBD. Silver Lake Village Anticipated expenses at the Silver Lake Village Liquor store are security upgrades including camera and entrance control upgrades at an expected cost of approximately $76,000, and roof replacement at a cost of around $50,000. Capital Equipment Fund Anticipated projected costs for 2026 are listed below. Streets Department Based on equipment age and condition, there are no major expenditures scheduled for 2026. 8 Parks Department Scheduled equipment replacement for the Parks department in 2026 include: Replacement of 2011 F250 Pickup, estimated cost $80,000 Replacement of 1999 John Deere rink maintenance tractor and attachments, estimated cost $58,000 Replacement of 2012 Hydraulic tractor/sweeper, estimated cost $21,000 Replacement of 2016 Line Lazer field painter, estimated cost $20,000 Replacement of John Deere ice rink brooms, estimated cost $13,000 Police Department Scheduled equipment replacement for the Police department in 2026 include: Replacement of 2017 Chevrolet Impala at an estimated cost of $58,000 Drone program additional costs of $5,000 Radar replacements $7,500 Office furniture & carpet replacements $19,500 Fire Department Scheduled equipment replacement for the Fire department in 2026 include: Assistant Chief vehicle replacement, estimated cost $62,000 Hose accessory replacements of $7,300 Finance & Administration Scheduled equipment replacement for the Finance and Administration departments in 2026 include: The cost of Election Machines and Equipment through Ramsey County is expected to be around $45,000 Allowance for office, cubicle, and carpet updates is $50,000 Parks Improvement Fund The Parks Improvement Fund accounts for costs for replacement and large maintenance items needed for city owned park grounds and play equipment. There are no other significant park expenditures planned for Emeral, Salo, Trillium, or Silver Point Parks in 2026. Significant projected costs for 2026 are identified by location and listed below. Central Park After significant investments in Central Park as part of the 2025 street improvement project and ballfield netting, 2026 expected expenditures are limited to the recommended LED lighting upgrades at Central Park ball fields and school fields and stadiums. Water Tower Park LED lighting upgrades for the Tennis Courts are the only recommended costs for Water Tower Park. FUNDING OPTIONS At the August 12, 2025 City Council Work Session, the Council supported the need for increased fire department staffing and asked staff to propose funding options that minimize the impact on the tax levy. As has been presented, staff determined that hiring just one or two Firefighter/Paramedics would not meet service demands; therefore, all funding scenarios now assume hiring three new positions—one for each shift. 9 Three main funding options are under consideration: No Action – Do not fund any new positions at this time. Full Levy Funding – Fund all three positions by increasing the base tax levy, which would permanently raise the tax burden. Use of One-Time TIF Funds – Temporarily fund the positions using approximately $990,000 in one-time dollars from closed Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts. This approach would cover the cost of the new positions for 3–6 years but would delay levy increases until the funds are exhausted, at which point a significant levy jump would be required to maintain staffing as demonstrated below. RECOMMENDATION Firefighter/Paramedic staffing is key priority for 2026 to maintain service level expectations and staff capacity. Use of one-time funds to lower the levy would limit options for amenity requests and options to adapt to challenges in future budget cycles. Staff is seeking Council direction on how to plan for final levy decisions and use of one-time funds. Feedback will be utilized to finalize the Capital Improvement Plan and associated portion of the 2026 levy that will be presented at the regular Council Meeting on November 10, 2025.

Staff Recommendation: •Firefighter/Paramedic staffing is key priority for 2026 to maintain service level expectations and staff capacity. Use of one-time funds to lower the levy would limit options for amenity requests and options to adapt to challenges in future budget cycles.

Our kids have been playing sports here going on 4 years. Our attraction to St Anthony is the safe small town feel, friendly neighbors, and the many kids for our kids to befriend. We value Silver Point Park for the opportunities for kids and for baseball/softball fields. Perhaps the skating area could be used for dogs in the warm months? Already has a wall! Thank you for considering options other than taking a well-used kids field. Sincerely, Luke Van Sistine Sent from my iPhone 26 From:Kirsten Karnitz To:SA City Subject:Kids Before Dogs- No dog park at Silver Point. Date:Tuesday, September 23, 2025 9:30:04 AM You don't often get email from kirstenkarnitz@gmail.com. Learn why this is important Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Dear City Council/ Dog Park Committee Members, I am writing in response to the proposal of replacing Field 2 at Silver Point Park with a dog park. For anyone who has ever watched a 3- or 4-year-old play T-ball, you know how magical it is. The joy on their faces is unforgettable and I still tear up thinking about this past season. I didn’t miss a single game. Silver Point has been the home to programs like this that make youth sports accessible and affordable for all families in our community (just $40-55 for an entire season!). That’s only possible because of the dedicated work of volunteers who have built and grown these programs. Programs that wouldn't be as accessible if the field is taken away. Just so you know hockey in MN is $400+ gear for children to play with soccer and other activities also having very high costs to participate. I also visit Silver Point Park several times a week. I rarely see more than one dog during my time there, yet I consistently see many children on the new play structure. To me, this illustrates where the greater community need lies. Also this newly made play structure is for very young children which does not mix with an influx of dogs. I chose to move to St. Anthony for my kids and for the schools. It’s disheartening to see the community now potentially prioritizing dogs over children. Before moving forward, I hope you’ll consider alternative locations for a dog park such as Sandcastle Park or Trillium Park, where the impact on children’s sports and play would be minimal. Thank you for your time and for considering the families and children who rely on Silver Point Park.
