WHEREAS, all species play a unique role in the complex web of life and contribute to the ecosystem services on which all life on Earth
depends, and hence, protecting our species is crucial to the survival of this planet and its inhabitants; and
WHEREAS, wild animal populations have declined on average by more than half and the Earth is facing an era of mass extinction; and
WHEREAS, the loss of species is for the most part a result of human activity, including degradation of ecosystems, deforestation, pollution,
and climate change; and
WHEREAS, by 2050, between 60-70% of all people will live in cities and species provide important services to city dwellers such as
generating oxygen and purifying the air; controlling other animals considered pests or that spread disease; pollinating plants and crops;
providing recreation opportunities and well-being, etc.; and
WHEREAS, many plants, wild animals, and pollinators live in urbanized landscapes, and cities thereby have a responsibility to examine the
ecological impacts of expanding urban areas and how to protect biodiversity; and
WHEREAS, it is understood that sustainability will only be achieved by meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs
of future generations; and
WHEREAS, it is more important than ever to cooperate locally and internationally to defend the environmental progress that has been
heretofore gained; and
WHEREAS, it is essential to expand and diversify the global environmental movement to achieve maximum progress; and
WHEREAS, Earth Day is an annual reminder of the constant need for environmental activism, stewardship commitments and sustainability
efforts.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Wendy Webster, Mayor of Saint Anthony Village,
have the distinct honor of proclaiming
April 22, 2026 as Earth Day
throughout Saint Anthony Village, Minnesota
and encourage all of its citizens, businesses, and institutions to use Earth Day
to celebrate the Earth and promote the protection of our species.

March 24, 2026

1 the contract for policing services to the City of Falcon Heights, the size of the department has
2 grown from 24 to 33 full-time employees. This increase has exacerbated the current lack of space
3 and functionality, requiring an immediate need for a repurpose of space and, soon, considerable
4 expansion. Pictures of some of the current conditions were provided.
5
6 Three bids were received for Phase 1 of the renovation and expansion project, which is a mild
7 repurposing of space. This includes increasing the size of the squad room to accommodate the
8 needs of more patrol officers and the addition of office space for a detective and a community
9 engagement officer. The front office will also be refreshed to accommodate the addition of an
10 office support specialist position. This will result in a reduction in storage space and personal
11 offices for patrol sergeants and does not include any furniture.
12
13 The lowest responsible bid was received from Greiner Construction of Minneapolis and includes:
14
15 Squad Room & Offices $149,898
16 Front Office Area $26,574
17
18 Staff recommends authorization to contract with Greiner Construction to complete these projects
19 as described.

RE: Ramsey County EDA Implementation Next Steps
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Ramsey County’s housing and redevelopment
programming. I look forward to the continued partnership in ensuring all in Ramsey County
are valued and thrive.
I am reaching out to provide you with information regarding the next steps to enhancing
programming for entrepreneurs and small businesses as result of last year’s approved ‘EDA
Bill.’ On December 2nd, 2025, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners took an initial step
to formally create the Ramsey County Economic Development Authority. This was a required
first step, prior to the beginning of this year’s legislative session, but it is the first of many steps
required to allow enhanced business programming to be funded through the Ramsey County
Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy.
While the legislation allowed for the creation of the Ramsey County Economic Development
Authority (EDA), it outlined two important conditions:
1. The EDA will have no taxing authority. This was intentional as the EDA will only
receive and spend funding from the existing Ramsey County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) levy. Expansion of the HRA to include EDA powers, as
described by state statute, allows the county to utilize a portion of HRA levy funding for
purposes of small business support and enhanced business programming.
2. Each City is required to ‘Opt In’ to this enhanced business programming.
‘Opt-In’ Process
The process for a City to Opt-in requires a city resolution by June 1, 2026. Receipt of
approved resolutions from cities will create a map that shows the EDA’s Area of Operation.
Ramsey County would then establish the EDA Area of Operation on or by June 15th, 2026.
Enhanced business programming will begin January 1, 2027. A draft resolution for city council
approval is provided below.
Tentative Programming
Tentative plans continue to plan for an allocation of $1.5 - $2 million yearly from the existing
Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy towards business focused programming.
Programming and total budget allocation have not yet been formalized as the County awaits
final decisions from cities regarding their intent to opt-in. While the approved EDA’s Area of
Operation is a critical consideration to determining the scale and scope of final programming,
we have identified five core focus areas for enhanced business support and growth
programming. These areas include (further details below):
• Improve the capacity of Business Support Organizations
• Expand technical assistance service offerings to businesses
• Create new cohort-based learning opportunities
• Establish data gathering, research & reporting capabilities
• Provide direct support to projects and businesses that deliver business growth
Please note: The County’s existing portfolio of business programming (Open to Business, CEO
Next, CEO Now, and RamseyCountyMeansBusiness.com) remains unchanged for this year.
Please reach out if you would like to further discuss this process and/or tentative programming,
including any additional questions. Lastly, while it is not expected, if you are able to
communicate your council’s intentions ahead of the June 1st deadline that would be
appreciated.
Proposed Core Programmatic Areas for Enhanced Business Programming
Improve the Capacity of Business Support Organizations
Business Support Organizations (BCOs) are important lifelines to entrepreneurs and
small businesses. Any many instances BCOs are a first stop of businesses looking
to get a business started, navigate regulatory and technical hurdles, and seek
financing. As the County, we saw first-hand during recent crises and business
interruptions that our BCOs require resources to effectively and proactively respond.
The ongoing Business Reimagination Center initiative is piloting efforts in 2026
that support capacity of BCOs. This piloted effort will inform future programming.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Expand Technical Assistance Service Offerings to Businesses
Small businesses often seek a myriad of technical assistance services in order for
them to growth and prosper. The County currently invests in the Open to Business
program that offers no cost direct technical assistance and other forms of support to
small business owners and entrepreneurs. Enhanced technical services support
general business challenges like accounting, marketing, digital literacy and/or could
support business sectors. The ongoing Business Reimagination Center initiative
is also piloting new and enhanced technical services that will inform future
programming.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Create New Cohort-Based Learning Opportunities
Cohort-based learning programs like CEO Next and CEO Now allow business
leaders to learn with and alongside their peers. CEO Next and CEO Now are a
regional partnership with Hennepin County. Hennepin County currently operates
these programs. Ramsey County is exploring possibilities for Ramsey County only
cohorts as well as cohorts serving business at different growth stages.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Establish Data Gathering, Research & Reporting Capabilities
Data is everywhere, and it is increasingly playing a role in business growth and
innovation. Decision making driven by robust data can create transformational
impacts in assisting businesses in their growth, as well as support more robust and
coordinated business retention, expansion and attraction efforts by the county and
cities.
High Level Budget Estimate: $250,000
Provide Direct Support to Projects and Businesses That Deliver Business
Growth
Accelerate business growth by providing direct, targeted support to projects and
businesses with strong economic potential through mechanisms such as grants, low-
interest loans, etc.
High Level Budget Estimate: $1,000,000
--VERSION 3/14/2025--
Statutory Change Expanding Use of Ramsey County
Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
SF 2521 (Hawj) HF 2349 (Lee)
Small businesses are the backbone of Ramsey County. It’s critical to our region that we continue to
invest in our business community in the wake of the pandemic. Ramsey County seeks to amend the
HRA statutory language to expand authority to better support diversifying industries, communities,
and emerging entrepreneurs as best as possible.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is Ramsey County not just revising its Housing and Redevelopment Authority to include business
programming as an allowable use? Why is establishment of an economic development authority included in
this legislation?
A: Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority is established under state statute. The state statute is
narrowly worded to the support and funding of affordable housing and redevelopment projects and programs.
Small business programming is defined as allowable uses with economic development authorities. Ramsey
County does not currently have an economic development authority. Based on legal guidance, the proposed
legislation expands the powers of the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority through the
establishment of an economic development authority.
Will this legislative change result in a new property tax to Ramsey County property owners?
A: No. This legislative change has no change on property taxes. This legislative change simply expands the list
of eligible activities in which Ramsey County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy is used. The text
change would additionally add programming for entrepreneurs and small businesses as an eligible use for the
Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy.
What is the county seeking from Ramsey County cities? If the legislation is successful, what is required from
Ramsey County cities?
A: The County does not require approval from Ramsey County cities for this proposed legislation. The County
does however seek support from our cities for this legislation.
If the legislation is successful, cities within the existing Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority
area of operation will have the choice whether to:
• Opt-in: A city that chooses to opt-in will receive the greatest flexibility of eligible programming. In
addition to the current portfolio of affordable housing and redevelopment programing, business
programing will be provided. City Councils will be asked to pass resolutions ‘opting-in’ by June
2025. With the first year of HRA levy funded business programming occurring in 2026.
• Opt-out: A city that chooses to opt-out will continue to receive the current portfolio of affordable
housing and redevelopment programing.
The City of North Saint Paul is not to be a part of the Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority Area of Operation. There is no change to North Saint Paul as a result of this legislation.
Ramsey County Housing & Redevelopment Authority
What is the current levy of the Ramsey County Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA)?
A: The 2024 HRA Levy is $12,595,222. HRA Levy spending maintains a directed parity of 50% of the levy spent
within suburban Ramsey County and 50% within the city of Saint Paul.

▶ HRA 2023 Annual Report – Highlights (2nd year of operation)

preserved rental housing units in 2023. Of the total, 988 were classified as deeply affordable for
residents earning at or below 30% Area Median Income.

development planning, commercial corridor initiatives (suburban only) and development and
infrastructure
• Site Assessment Grants. Program initiated in late 2023. Supported one project in 2023.
▶ HRA 2022 Annual Report – Highlights (1st year of operation)
• Affordable Housing Investments. $7.2M of HRA levy obligated to affordable housing projects in
2022. Across all funding streams, Ramsey County leveraged multiple funding sources in 2022 to
bring dozens of affordable housing projects closer to realization and invested in the construction
of 1,128 new rental housing units and preserved 1,029. Of the total, 571 are classified as deeply
affordable for residents earning at or below 30% Area Median Income.
• FirstHome Down Payment Assistance. In Fall 2022, County relaunched its down payment
assistance program to better align with market realities and offer first-time and first-generation
homebuyers with down payment assistance. $187,500 in down payment assistance loans
disbursed in 2022.
• Critical Corridors. Established in the Fall 2022, 14 grants in its first round of solicitations, totaling
roughly $2.3 million in three core areas: pre-development planning, development and
infrastructure, and commercial corridor initiatives.
Will this change result in Ramsey County shifting its focus from supporting the preservation and expansion of
deeply affordable housing?
A: No. Ramsey County remains focused on the improving affordable housing infrastructure throughout the
county. The MN Legislature made unprecedent investments in housing and housing infrastructure as part of the
2023 Legislative session. The Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) or housing sales tax is estimated to bring
resources comparable to that of the HRA levy. This additional funding for affordable housing allows for a slight
adjustment of funding priorities of the HRA levy without deviating from the County’s primary focus on
expanding and improving affordable housing infrastructure.
Who decides on funding priorities on HRA Levy?
A: Ramsey County HRA Board is responsible for establishing funding priorities and make final decisions
regarding spending of HRA levy. While the County HRA outlines its priorities, it relies on city partners as well as
community organizations and developers to ready important projects. Prior to the county’s funding in a project,
projects are required obtain a municipal resolution in support in accordance with state statute.
EDA and business programming
What type of business activities does the County intend to do with this legislative change?
A: The County is responding to community requests for enhanced business programming. The small business
support (EDA eligible activities) realized by this legislative flexibility would be a strong reelection of those local
requests and would initially start at $1.5 - $2 million of our yearly HRA levy to ensure the bulk of resources are
remain available and prioritized for housing programs and projects. Funding will continue to align with HRA levy
spending directives where 50% of HRA levy spending occurs in suburban Ramsey County and 50% with the City
of Saint Paul. Areas of need identified to strengthen the small business ecosystem are informed by the County’s
involvement and engagement with cities, business support organizations and small businesses that include: ▶ Capacity building of small business support organizations to meet current and future needs ▶ More technical assistance/advisory services to better serve targeted geographies, communities and/or
industries ▶ Additional flexible capital to enable greater business retention, expansion and attraction
Did the County attempt to form an EDA previously?
A: During the 2024 Legislative Session, Ramsey County introduced proposed legislation amending HRA statutory
language and establishing an EDA to allow for business programming to be an eligible use of Ramsey County
HRA levy funding. HF 3784 (Lee) / SF 4655 (Hawj) was later amended based on feedback from cities. A redlined
version, including a memo from the County Attorney’s office describing the changes is available. The current
draft version for the 2025 Legislative session of the bill reflects this city feedback in 2024.
In 2016, the County did submit legislation that would have created a Ramsey County EDA. The legislation was
pulled by the County following community concerns around the creation of a new taxing authority. The
county’s current legislation would not create a new taxing authority as it merely allows for additional eligible
uses (i.e. business programming) of the County’s existing Housing and Redevelopment Authority.
Does Ramsey County provide business programming? If so, what programs? How much does it spend? And
how does it pay for business programs?
A: Ramsey County provides limited business programing. The County funds the programming through the
County’s general property tax levy. Current business programming totals $345,000. ▶ Entrepreneur support: Open to Business – Provides no cost direct technical assistance and other forms
of support to small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. This program was expanded
countywide in 2019 in response to direct city requests for this program. ▶ Small Business Growth: Ramsey County has two cohort-based leadership programs geared for
established businesses. Both programs are a partnership with Hennepin County.
• CEO Next – Group learning leadership program for CEOs/founders of second stage businesses
that are growth-minded ($1M-50M in revenues, 10-99 employees, etc.)
• CEO Now – Group learning leadership program for CEOs/founders of first stage businesses that
are growth-minded ($250K-2M in revenues, more than one employee, operating for two years,
etc.) Newly established in 2024. ▶ Marketing & attraction programming: RamseyCountyMeansBusiness.com An online portal providing
workforce and economic development resources throughout the county to current and prospective
businesses and investors. This online portal went live in 2019 and was refocused during the pandemic as
a central repository for covid business relief resources. A redesign of the portal is underway and will be
live in early 2025.
How do other metro counties support business programming and how did they obtain
authority to provide economic development activities?
A: Hennepin County received special legislation (MN Statute 383B.79) - A multijurisdictional reinvestment program
is authorized involving Hennepin County, the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and one or
more of the following political subdivisions: the cities of Minneapolis, Brooklyn Center, and other interested statutory
or home rule charter cities in Hennepin County, the Minneapolis Park Board, the Three Rivers Park District, and any
watershed district entirely or partially located in Hennepin County. The multijurisdictional program may include plans
for housing rehabilitation and removals, industrial polluted land cleanup, water ponding, environmental cleanup,
community corridor connections, corridor planning, creation of green space, acquisition of property, development and
redevelopment of parks and open space, water quality and lakeshore improvement, development and redevelopment
of housing and commercial projects, economic development, and job creation. ▶ Hennepin County utilizes Housing and Redevelopment Authority funding for a variety of economic
development programs including their CEO Next and Elevate Business platform. Due to the broader
nature of this statute, this has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Dakota County has a Community Development Agency. Under MN Statute 383D.41, subdivision 7, After
December 31, 1999, the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority shall be known as the Dakota County
Community Development Agency. In addition to the other powers granted in this section, the Dakota County
Community Development Agency shall have the powers of an economic development authority. ▶ A core focus of local Community Development Agencies (CDAs) is the ability to own and operate
affordable housing. Ramsey County has expressed no interest in owning and operating affordable
housing, so this the CDA statute has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Washington County has a Community Development Agency. In 2016, Washington County successfully sought
special legislation to amend their Housing & Redevelopment Authority and created a Community Development
Agency. Under MN Statute 383D.41, section 2, subdivision 2a, Request to handle economic development, housing,
or redevelopment duties. The governing body of a statutory or home rule charter city or township with an existing
municipal economic development authority may request the Washington County Community Development Agency to
handle the economic development, housing, or redevelopment duties of the authority and, in such an event, the
Washington County Community Development Agency shall act and have exclusive jurisdiction for economic
development, housing, or redevelopment duties in the statutory or home rule charter city or township pursuant to the
provisions of the Economic Development Authorities Act, Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.090 to 469.1081. ▶ A core focus of local Community Development Agencies (CDAs) is the ability to own and operate
affordable housing. Ramsey County has expressed no interest in owning and operating affordable
housing, so this the CDA statute has limited applicability to Ramsey County.
Scott County and Carver County each have a Community Development Agency. CDA’s provide the most diverse
array of eligible programing for housing, redevelopment and economic development uses.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Israel Diaz, Fire Chief
Date:April 14, 2026
Request: Resolution 26-029 – Accepting the FY2024 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG)
for Installation of New Fire Station Exhaust Removal System
BACKGROUND
The Fire Department applied for a federal grant to improve health and safety conditions within the fire
station by upgrading the existing exhaust removal system. The current system was installed when the
station was constructed approximately 20 years ago and has reached the end of its useful life, resulting
in unplanned maintenance and repair expenses.
Diesel exhaust exposure is a well-documented occupational hazard for firefighters, with prolonged
exposure linked to serious long-term health impacts. The St. Anthony Fire Department has a history of a
firefighter line-of-duty death—Bill Myers—whose death was ultimately attributed to chronic exposure
to exhaust fumes within the fire station. Modern exhaust capture systems significantly reduce these
risks by removing harmful emissions directly at the source, improving air quality and protecting
firefighter health and safety.
Grant Award
The City of Saint Anthony has been awarded a federal grant in the amount of $76,190.47 through the
Assistance to Firefighters Program (AFG). The grant funds are designated specifically for the purchase
and installation of a new fire station exhaust removal system.
Project Description
The proposed exhaust removal system will be installed in the apparatus bay of the fire station and will
capture vehicle exhaust during engine start-up and operation, venting emissions safely outside the
building. This project will enhance firefighter health and safety, improve air quality within the station,
and bring the facility into alignment with current best practices and safety standards.
Financial Impact
The total project cost is estimated at $80,000.00. The federal grant will cover $76,190.47 of the cost.
The remaining expenses of $3,809.53, will be funded through Capital Improvement Fund. Acceptance of
this grant will not adversely impact the City’s operating budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council formally accept the federal grant funds and authorize the City
Manager to execute any necessary grant agreements and related documents to proceed with the
purchase and installation of the exhaust removal system.

Re: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services Water Treatment
Facilities 20-Year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Study
Dear Mr. Gumke:
WSB appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter proposal to the City of Saint Anthony Village
to provide a Water Treatment Facilities 20-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Study. The areas
of the City’s water treatment facilities to be studied will include the iron and manganese filtration
water treatment facilities, the granular activated carbon (GAC) water treatment facilities, and the
Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) water treatment facilities. The project team includes Steve
Nelson, P.E. John Lapointe, and Daniel Papp from WSB.
The WSB Team will review the previous maintenance that has been done at each of the facilities
described above before developing a timetable and estimated costs to rehabilitate them for the
next 20 years. We will also study the City’s water demands for the next 20 years and determine
when, or if, new water treatment facilities will be needed and include an estimated timetable and
costs for these improvements.
The following scope of work will be provided for this project:
SCOPE OF WORK
1. Review previous maintenance records and reports for the City’s water treatment facilities.
These records will be used to rank and prioritize when future improvements are needed for
each of these facilities.
2. Review the City’s historical and projected water demands for the next 20 years to
determine and illustrate when additional water treatment capacity is needed.
3. Inspect the process components of all water treatment facilities and provide the following
analysis.
a. Review and document the existing conditions of existing process equipment
including both the iron/manganese removal and GAC filters, AOP equipment, high
services pumps, and chemical feed systems. A manufacturer service
representative will be coordinated to sample and analyze media from the filters.
b. Review and document the existing conditions of the controls, electrical
components and generator, to include; developing cost estimates for automating
the operation of the iron and manganese removal pressure filters with
automatically operated valves with electric actuators and associated controls. An
evaluation of adding digital differential pressure transmitters serving the

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Richard Sonterre, Code Compliance Officer
Date:April 14, 2026
Request: Ordinance 2026-01 – City Code Updates – First Reading
BACKGROUND
This memorandum forwards a series of proposed City Code updates generated by staff through the
Code Committee. The Ordinance text is provided in redline form identifying new language and existing.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the various items, and forwarded the draft
language to the City Council for its first reading.
Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance require consideration at a public hearing before the Planning
Commission. For this set of proposed amendments, portions of the Vision Triangle section (154.184)
and Impervious Surfaces (154.007) are zoning amendments. The remainder are general City Code
amendments. However, it has been the practice of the City to bring all of these to the Planning
Commission’s public hearing for comment and recommendation. The Commission held its public hearing
on March 17, 2026.
In the overview below, the redline comments reflect changes since the Council reviewed the items at its
Worksession on February 24, 2026, with addition notes reflecting Planning Commission comments.
The topics and discussion for each are as follows:
Vision Triangle
The current zoning language has general language preserving views of traffic on corner lots, but limited
detail. The proposed language adds a series of recommended specifics, including measurement and
other details, to permit both property owners and the City to evaluate how such areas are to be
constructed and maintained. The regulations apply to all zoning districts as a general provision. For
many property owners, the bulk of the vision triangle will impact primarily boulevard (right of way) as it
relies on measurements along the curb, not the property line. The proposed text has been modified to
reflect Council observations for measurements along streets or alleys without curb.
Council discussion tested a number of scenarios, with staff explaining that the intent of the
language was to clarify existing code, as well as the addition of an illustration to the regulations.
Planning Commission discussed the items, but made no significant recommendations as to
modifications or edits.
Administrative Penalties
This section sets out the process and procedures for instituting the Administrative Penalties section. It
describes the process by which Code Compliance staff will identify and communicate violations to
property owners, as well as how the property owners can respond. One response option is to appeal
the penalty to a Hearing Officer, among others. Penalties, including financial penalties, would be
adopted as a part of the City’s fee schedule.
Council: Councilmembers provided extensive input into the process and requirements for the
hearing process. Staff notes that the structure of the ordinance is to provide compliance staff
the opportunity to work with property owners and occupants toward compliance as a first
option, consistent with current practice. The intent of this section is to provide a remedy –
short of a Zoning misdemeanor (criminal) charge – for those situations where cooperative
compliance cannot be achieved. Much of the material, particularly the Hearing Procedure
section, has been imported from other communities that have adopted this process.
Highlighted sections of the ordinance text reflect areas of modification based on Council
feedback after the worksession.
Planning Commission: Comments were primarily technical and typographical. The Commission
suggested that the City’s ability to forego the Administrative route directly to prosecution
should be limited to more “serious” or “repeat offender” cases. This change is not reflected in
the proposed text.
Food Trucks
This item has been discussed in the past, leading to this proposed ordinance language.
The proposed ordinance identifies requirements for such “mobile food units”, establishes a
requirement for such operators to receive appropriate licensing from State and County
authorities, and requires a fire safety inspection by St. Anthony Fire personnel. It further allows
the SAV Fire Chief to accept proof of inspection by other municipalities that conduct similar
inspections, in lieu of a local inspection.
The code explicitly permits food truck operations only where there are (1) public special events
(or Conditional Use Permits) in which such Mobile Food Units may sell to the public as a part of
such event (the Code does permit a local food service facility to operate a food truck on their
own property – the CUP provision) ; or (2) as a part of a private event where the Mobile Food
Unit is a catering facility and no separate sales are allowed.
The code does not allow Mobile Food Units to occupy property – public or private – in the City
as an independent food seller, under the direction that local food service establishments should
not need to compete with such units.
The City Council requested a carve-out for specific mobile foot units (namely, ice cream trucks
and lunch trucks) that operate in the City, but constitute an alternative type of food truck. The
Definition of Mobile Food Units has been appended to added item (3), which allows these types
of vehicles to operate outside of the rules that would apply to other food trucks. The definition
limits the carve-out to vehicles that move from place to place, are properly licensed under State
regulations, which serve only prepackaged foot, and which vehicles are no greater than 22 feet,
2 inches in length. Most ice cream trucks are 18 feet or less in length (research indicates a
common length of 14 feet). Lunch trucks most often operate from pick-up truck vehicles, the
longest of which are GMC, Ford, and Ram vehicles of 22 feet, 2 inches. The combination of
requirements is designed to effectively prohibit common food trucks, which are often 26 feet or
more in length, and serve food to order, not prepackaged goods.
Planning Commission – The most substantive comment was to reconsider the general
prohibition of food trucks as an opportunity for low-entry cost entrepreneurship, as well as
support for the environment that they can create. This comment is not reflected in the
proposed text.
Impervious Surfaces
This item clarifies the existing definition of impervious surface (found within the definition of “Lot
Coverage” in the Zoning Ordinance), specifying that only the property within the legal boundaries of a
parcel are utilized for making this calculation. There is often a misunderstanding on the part of property
owners that their property (and thus their calculation of impervious surface) extends to the public street
curb line.
Planning Commission Comment: Recommended adding reference to pavers as impervious
surfaces, to clarify that they are included in this calculation due to St. Anthony’s soils conditions
and other factors. This addition was made to the draft.
Scavengers
This item removes the requirement for City license to “scavenge” street-side refuse that has been set
out for removal. However, it requires property owner permission for such persons to remove any such
refuse, and requires that property owners retain responsibility for any refuse placed outside for
removal.
As a part of the City Council discussion, concern was raised as to items that residents might
place as the curb with a “Free” sign attached. It should be noted that a resident who places
property at the curb with a sign designating that property as “Free”, such sign would constitute
permission of the property owner for others to help themselves to the property. This activity
would be consistent with the proposed language.
Again, this amendment merely removes the City licensing requirement, but retains the
regulatory requirements for this activity.
Rodents
This language closes a missing definition loophole from prior amendments, establishing what animals
fall into this class for purposes of housing maintenance and rental housing operations.
Amusement Devices
This section is proposed for deletion, as it refers to an obsolete business (arcade).
The Council’s discussion noted that while this section is being deleted, it has the effect primarily
of removing the City’s licensing requirements for such businesses. Those businesses are
otherwise still allowed in the City’s commercial district as entertainment venues.
Sign Removal
This clause is being inserted to specify sign enforcement process on non-single family property. The
existing requirements in this section require notice of cessation, and create a process for City-initiated
removal and cost recovery. However, for single family property, the City’s process has been to seek
compliance without City-initiated removal. Thus, the additional clarity removes R-1, R-1A, and R-2
property from this enforcement process. The added text will read as follows:
157.29 ENFORCEMENT REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL. All signs, greater than six (6) square feet per
side and within a Commercial (C), Light Industrial (LI), Planned Unit Development (PUD),
Townhomes (R3) or Multiple Dwellings (R4) zoning district shall be subject to the requirements
of this subsection:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking comment and consideration of the City Council for the first of three readings of the
proposed code amendments.

Deputy Sheriff, shall have the authority to enforce any provision of this code.
(B) As permitted by M.S. § 626.862 and other relevant state law, as it may be amended from

Section 4.Section §10.98 is hereby deleted in its entirety and amended to read as
follows:
§ 10.98 SUPPLEMENTAL ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES.
[This section deleted and replaced with:]
PURPOSE:
3
For violations of City Code not voluntarily cured by the offender, the City Council seeks to offer
an alternative method of compelling compliance for city code violations rather than relying
solely on the judiciary for such relief. To provide more flexibility in addressing city code
violations on an individual basis that will be more efficient and effective and to ensure a process
for administrative relief before engaging the judicial system, the City Council finds that an
alternative method to compel compliance to be necessary.
APPLICATION:
In addition to those administrative penalties established in this code and the enforcement powers
granted in §10.20, supplemental administrative penalties are hereby established. They may not
proscribe administrative penalties for traffic offenses designated by M.S. § 169.999, as it may be
amended from time to time. The administrative procedures and penalties in this section may, at
the discretion of the City, be used for any violation of the City Code or any violation of the terms
and conditions of a City approval, including, but not limited to, permits and licenses, required
and granted under the city code. Administrative citations are a non-criminal penalty which may
be issued to a person or business when city code is violated. The penalty includes a fine(s),
which vary depending on the nature of the violation. The issuance of administrative citations
differs among various sections of code based upon the nature, severity and frequency of the
violation. Specific fee amounts shall be established annually within the city fee schedule.
Except as expressly provided in this section, the provisions of this section may be used
concurrently with or in addition to any other procedure or remedy, criminal or civil, the City may
pursue under city code, state law, or federal law. Nothing herein restricts the right of the City to
enter property immediately or to seek other remedies in emergency or other situations as
authorized by city code, state law, or federal law. Where differences occur between provisions of
this section and other applicable city code sections, this section controls to the extent of such
differences. No provision of the City Code that provides a criminal procedure or penalty, or an
administrative or civil procedure or penalty, for a violation of the city code shall preclude the
application of this section in its entirety to such violation. The penalties and procedures provided
in this section shall be applicable to every section and chapter of the city code. The penalties and
procedures provided by this section shall apply to any amendment of the city code, whether such
penalty is reenacted in the amendment, unless otherwise provided in such amendment. Unless
otherwise stated, any and all subsequent administrative penalties issued upon the same property,
for the same offense and within the same calendar year, shall cause the established fine to double
over the amount of the previous penalty imposed.
ISSUING CITATIONS
1.Any person with authority to seek compliance to the city code may, upon a reasonable
belief that there has been a violation of city code, issue an Administrative Citation to the violator
or party responsible for the violation via first class mail to the address of the subject property,
and to the owner according to County property records, if the address is such owner is different.
The citations shall state the nature of the violation, the date of the violation, the name of the
person authorized by the City Manager to issue such citation, the amount of the civil
4
administrative penalty, and the method of paying the penalty, the required actions to remedy the
violation, and the method for appealing the citation.
2.The recipient of an administrative penalty may, any time prior to the due date established
in the administrative citation, contact the issuing party and present a plan to come into
compliance. If the plan to become compliant is accepted by the city, the established due date
shall be amended to a date (5) five days following the established last date to become compliant.
The established timeline to reach compliance shall be at the earliest reasonable date, dependent
(in the judgment of the City) upon circumstances and potential for harm, which may be amended
or extended by the City as necessary upon a good faith showing of progress toward compliance.
3.The City shall notify a recipient of an Administrative Penalty of their right to contest the
citation as outlined in this Section ----. The City shall also appoint a neutral third party to hear
and rule on challenges to administrative citations authorized by the city code.
4.At any time after the date the payment of the administrative penalty is due, if the
administrative penalty remains unpaid or the situation creating the alleged violation remains
uncorrected, the City, through its Attorney, may bring an action to enforce in accordance with
state law and this code. Likewise, the City, in its discretion, may bring charges for a violation in
the first instance, rather than requesting the payment of an administrative penalty, even if a
penalty for the violation has been established. If the administrative penalty is paid, or if any
requested correction of the situation resulting in the violation is completed, no charges shall be
initiated by the City for the alleged violation.
5.The failure to pay an Administrative Citation or petition for an Administrative Hearing
within 14 business days after the citation is issued, or failure to attend a scheduled
Administrative Hearing, constitutes a waiver of the violator's right to a future Administrative
Hearing and is an admission of the violation.

days after the hearing. The Hearing Examiner has the authority to determine that a
violation occurred, to dismiss a citation, to impose the scheduled fine, and to reduce, stay,
or waive a scheduled fine either unconditionally or upon compliance with appropriate
conditions. When imposing a penalty for a violation, the Hearing Examiner may consider
any or all of the following factors:
1. Duration of the violation;
2. Frequency of reoccurrence of the violation;
3. Seriousness of the violation;
4. History of the violation;
5. Violator's conduct after issuance of the administrative notice and citation;
6. Violator's conduct after issuance of the notice of hearing;

1. The violation caused or is causing a serious threat of harm to the public
health, safety, or welfare; or
2. The violator intentionally and unreasonably refused or refuses to comply with
the code requirement.
(7) Failure to appear. The failure to attend the hearing constitutes a waiver of the violator's
rights to an administrative hearing and an admission of the violation. A Hearing
Examiner may waive this result upon good cause shown. Examples of "good cause" are:
death in the immediate family or documented incapacitating illness of the violator; a
court order requiring the violator to appear for another hearing at the same time; and lack
of proper service of the citation or notice of the hearing. "Good cause" does not include:
forgetfulness; lack of transportation or child care; and intentional delay.
(8) Decisions of the Hearing Examiner are final and uncontestable, subject to the rights of an
aggrieved party to seek judicial review as provided in state law. Any unpaid fines shall be
paid immediately following an upholding of a citation by the Hearing Examiner. Failure to
do so shall be cause for the imposition of additional penalties established within the City fee
schedule.
