Work Session Minutes of April 14, 2026, as presented.
Motion carried 5-0.
2.Work Session Topics.
A.TIF Policy Discussion
City Planner Grittman clarified that the Tax Increment Financing Policy is one of three items highlighted
during Goal Setting sessions relating to housing policy. He directed the Council to preview the
Minnetonka TIF Policy in their packets.
Mayor Webster thanked City Planner Grittman for the information. She highlighted that in the past, the
City has used TIF for private projects that have incurred extraordinary costs and set projects at a more
level market position. Otherwise, TIF is often used to offset City costs necessary to accommodate private
development, rather than fund it directly. She provided this information to provide context for past TIF
usage and encouraged the Council to use it as a guide to set policies for future TIF use.
Councilmember Jenson asked whether there was a need for TIF and whether there would be
opportunities to use it in a city that is 98% built out. He stated there are few development opportunities
to use TIF in the future, and it may not be wise to spend significant time discussing it. He provided a few
examples of large projects completed recently that were accomplished without TIF. He stated that he
does not want to subsidize individuals building homes with TIF. Mayor Webster highlighted TIF
applications for parcels being redeveloped, such as the gas station site. Councilmember Jenson noted
that TIF policy shifts the financial burden from developers to taxpayers. He also indicated that tax
2
April 28, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 2
funding will likely be needed soon to renovate aging City buildings, such as City Hall or the Police
Department, and that this may be a more important use of tax dollars than redeveloping small parcels.
Councilmember Doolan stated that the conversation will remain important, citing a discussion she had
with a Medtronic leader and the Comprehensive Plan, which identifies areas for future redevelopment.
She discussed the positive impacts of TIF in the Silver Lake Village project, but noted that some of the
added residents shift more financial responsibility to single-family homeowners. Councilmember Doolan
indicated that TIF could increase the commercial tax base and address affordability issues.
Councilmember Jenson noted that TIF districts typically last about 25 years.
Councilmember Elnagdy concurred that shifting the burden to taxpayers must be justified and that prior
discussions were not comprehensive enough regarding expectations. She stated that she felt it was
important to start the conversation on TIF policy now so that general criteria can be in place if the
opportunity to use TIF presents itself, and that specific details could then be clarified. Councilmember
Elnagdy expressed that expectations for developers using TIF would have to be very high, possibly higher
than those in Minnetonka.
Councilmember Randle expressed his historical disdain for TIF usage. He asked whether they could
reallocate the current TIF district funds back into the tax levy. He agreed with Councilmember Jenson
that there are limited areas for future development in St. Anthony. Mayor Webster noted potential
areas for future development, the largest being the shopping center area. He again concurred with
Councilmember Jenson and stated that they should use the money to fund City projects that are
necessary right now. Mayor Webster informed him that the money is not currently available, but would
instead be obtained if TIF were in place by freezing property taxes and using the excess to fund TIF
projects.
Councilmember Doolan noted that when the TIF district in Silver Lake Village closes, it could bring in
additional income. She stated that she believed it would be beneficial to discuss the structure of the
Minnetonka policy in relation to their own, even if only for future opportunities.
Ehlers Senior Municipal Advisor Kvilvang confirmed that when Silver Lake Village decertifies, there will
be new capacity to levy against. She clarified that the Minnetonka TIF policy covers more than
affordable housing. Staff is seeking to determine the Council’s preferences for the kinds of
developments TIF policy should include. She reminded the Council that even if someone meets the
requirements for TIF use, the Council is not required to allow it.
City Manager Yunker stated that this topic had been discussed previously, specifically relating to
affordable housing. A policy like this can communicate to developers what the City wants. He
highlighted that allowing someone to use TIF and writing the policy are two different discussions.
Councilmember Randle asked if putting restrictions on developers would discourage them from doing
business with the City. City Manager Yunker stated it is difficult to tell, but determining if the market can
absorb the City’s goals is important.
Councilmember Doolan highlighted that defining objectives and outcomes from TIF is beneficial and
could also assist with their Comp Plan for 2050. She noted that TIF could assist the City in meeting goals
they are struggling with, such as affordable housing for senior citizens.
3
April 28, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 3
Councilmember Jenson asked how the Council can determine the allowable guidelines and guardrails for
TIF use. City Manager Yunker stated that his question is very broad and difficult to answer, but that
referencing the Minnetonka guidelines could be beneficial. Councilmember Jenson asked if they could
have more examples to use as references. City Manager Yunker confirmed they could, but finding cities
comparable to St. Anthony is difficult.
Councilmember Jenson asked if Stacy could provide some guidelines. She stated that she would be able
to present guidelines that Staff could improve upon, which could provide Council with a better point of
reference.
Councilmember Doolan indicated that the Met Council and the Comp Plan have good data to identify
areas of need. She asked whether a shorter TIF duration could be provided if a project is highly aligned
with the City's goals. She stressed the importance of concretely outlining goals for a situation like this.
City Manager Yunker proposed that Staff prepare additional information on the TIF policy, and that the
Council review it later to determine whether it aligns with the goals they had in mind.
Mayor Webster confirmed with the Council that they are interested in outlining a policy, but are unsure
of the details at this time, and would like more information.
Councilmember Doolan highlighted a few areas of consideration, including local housing needs,
development, and affordable housing relative to tax burden, Met Council goals, and feasible strategies
for the City. She also highlighted the need to focus on how St. Anthony can utilize County resources,
such as the HRA, to reduce the burden on St. Anthony citizens.
B.Sustainability Initiatives Discussion
Sustainability Coordinator Saulog highlighted the City’s little-to-no-cost progress on the Climate Plan.
She informed Council that the goal of today’s discussion is to inform Staff on how to proceed with
Climate Plan items that may require incentives and funding, specifically whether Council is open to
budgetary funding for these items. She clarified that Staff does not need a line-by-line discussion of
options, but is more interested in confirming the Council’s opinion on more permanent budgetary
allowances.
Assistant City Manager Morello clarified that the main question is whether a section of the budget
should be specifically allocated to Climate Plan action.
Councilmember Jenson asked if the goal was to set aside funds for City projects or resident projects.
Sustainability Coordinator Saulog stated that both are possible and that Staff would appreciate
clarification on this moving forward.
Councilmember Randle asked again if it was being proposed that funds could be used for personal
projects. Mayor Webster clarified that they were seeking the Council’s opinion on this and if a cost-
sharing model could be introduced to incentivize residents to follow Climate Plan action items. She
provided an example of offering residents who purchased an energy-efficient refrigerator a 20 dollar
rebate.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated that the Council has already committed to the Climate Plan Action Items
and that it could appear hypocritical not to fund them. However, she stated that she prefers keeping the
4
April 28, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 4
initiatives more community-focused and smaller to meet community needs better while also promoting
sustainable living.
Councilmember Randle expressed concerns about using taxpayer dollars for these incentives. He stated
that they need to receive community input before deciding how to use taxpayer dollars, particularly
given current concerns about high taxes.
Councilmember Doolan appreciated Councilmember Randle’s concerns about the inequity of taxpayer
funding usage. However, she noted that there may be ways to incentivize Climate Plan action without
the levy's impact. She highlighted investing in items that provide a high return on investment to the City,
focusing investment on citizens who are particularly burdened by energy inefficiency, and looking into
State and County funding for climate action that they can direct residents to.
Councilmember Jenson noted that City buildings and residential buildings should be treated differently,
as City buildings are obligated to be maintained, so these must be funded first before the City can assist
on the residential side. This could also provide an opportunity to set an example for citizens on why
energy efficiency would benefit their own homes. He also highlighted that Councilmember Elnagdy’s
idea of prioritizing small actions that individuals can do to increase sustainability could be more realistic.
Councilmember Randle expressed his support for using state and County funds but reiterated the need
for community input when taxpayer dollars are used. He stated that he believed it was wrong to force
individuals to subsidize other residents’ home improvements without their consent, but that he
supported the City helping to distribute state or County grant money.
Councilmember Doolan stated that the City needs to improve its ability to express why the Climate Plan
goals are important. She provided an example of how impervious surface requirements reduce the
watershed level and, therefore, lower the tax the City receives for excess watershed. If the City could
quantify the profit that incentivizing changes could yield for taxpayers, there may be more support for
using taxpayer money to fund these incentives. She asked whether the Council would support funding
incentives that could deliver better ROI.
Assistant City Manager Morello noted that she was hearing consensus to continue searching for and
using grant money, but little support for directly funding incentives.
Sustainability Coordinator Saulog highlighted the community support for the INI program. She noted
that this is a program that required no financial match from the City, but asked if there would be
interest in programs such as the Met Council Water Efficiency program, which requires a 20 percent
match from the City.
Mayor Webster stated that this is an important question and that she would be much more open to a
match.
Councilmember Doolan also highlighted that this is an opportunity for higher ROI.
Councilmember Jenson also expressed interest in a match program, but noted the need for further
discussion of the specifics.
Councilmember Elnagdy asked how much it would cost the City to help subsidize programs such as
hazardous waste disposal to make the process less expensive and less complicated for residents.
5
April 28, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 5
Councilmember Jenson stated that he attended programs by Hennepin County where you could drop off
your hazardous waste, such as paint cans, for free. He asked if programs like this still existed.
Mayor Webster noted that Ramsey County also has an environmental center where residents can bring
waste for free. Councilmember Elnagdy stated that she would not personally make that trip and that
more people would likely properly dispose of their waste if Public Works could bring them from St.
Anthony.
Councilmember Doolan stated that she believed this was a great proposition and expressed support for
more cleanup days. She highlighted the success of similar programming in other cities, but noted that
this will cost Public Works time. She proposed asking Colombia Heights and other cities how they fund
their programming, and whether grants may exist to support this. She asked how much this would likely
cost the City. City Manager Yunker stated it is almost impossible to know, as there is no existing data for
St. Anthony to base this on.
City Manager Yunker expressed the need for Council to reach a clearer consensus on whether the 2027
Budget should include a line item for Sustainability Programming and, if so, by how much. Assistant City
Manager Morello noted Council support for more community-based programming and sought clearer
parameters for what the Council would like allocated to this.
Councilmember Jenson stated that most hazardous waste is now paint, and most modern paints are
water-based or latex-based. If you let them dry, they are safe to throw out. This makes financial
incentives for hazardous waste disposal much less necessary. Councilmember Doolan highlighted that
the County would still like to receive reusable paint.
Councilmember Doolan proposed using City funds recovered from sustainable initiatives to fund future
sustainability programming.
Mayor Webster asked the Council whether they would like a line item of 20,000 dollars for sustainability
issues in the upcoming budget, to give Staff an idea of where to begin.
Councilmember Jenson stated that he felt the City should focus first on City building improvements
before funding residential projects. Mayor Webster asked him whether he would prefer that this line
item be designated specifically for City buildings. Councilmember Jenson confirmed he was looking to
focus more on preventing delays in building maintenance.
Councilmember Doolan stated the Council must consider criteria for using these funds, the equity
around the expenditure, and what they are prioritizing. She specifically proposed focusing on high ROI
projects.
Councilmember Elnagdy noted that the number was very artificial. Councilmember Jenson concurred,
stating he dislikes applying a dollar amount without knowing what it will be used for.
Mayor Webster directed City Manager Yunker to inform staff that they would like to set aside funding
for sustainability programming, following support from three Councilmembers.
City Manager Yunker clarified that this is not a commitment but rather leaves the idea open for Staff to
explore.
6
April 28, 2026 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 6
C.Franchise Fee Discussion
City Manager Yunker summarized Franchise Fees and clarified that they are a tool that cities can use to
recoup costs for private utilities, such as airing the City Council meetings on private channels. He
highlighted the Council's previous rejection of franchise fees on gas and electricity. He also proposed
broadband franchise fees because fiber has largely replaced cable programming, making community
programming more difficult. He highlighted that this will place a new tax on the users of these utilities.
He asked the Council whether they would like to pursue franchise fees and, if so, whether they would
approach it as a way to reduce the tax levy or as an additional source of revenue.
Councilmember Randle originally expressed support for broadband fees, but after Mayor Webster
clarified that residents, not the company, would be charged, he rescinded his support.
Councilmember Jenson noted that in past discussions, these fees were in addition to your property
taxes.
Councilmember Doolan highlighted that this could be an opportunity to shift the tax burden from
homeowners to the full population. Individuals in multi-family complexes would also share the burden
of these taxes.
Councilmember Jenson asked whether a net analysis could be conducted to show the gain to the City
from applying these fees to tax-exempt buildings. City Manager Yunker stated that this would be
possible.
City Manager Yunker highlighted community complaints about the tax burden on homeowners and
confirmed it is the Council’s responsibility to determine if this would be a worthwhile way to shift that
burden.
Councilmember Doolan proposed implementing fees on natural gas as this could help the City goals on
reducing emissions. She noted that gas usage is holding steady, so this presents a better opportunity to
increase revenue than electric, which is declining.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated that she prefers using franchise fees to shift the tax burden rather than
raise additional revenue, and she believed that would be more popular with residents. She also
expressed support for funding from exempt properties.
Mayor Webster noted that there appeared to be Council support for Staff to explore franchise fees. She
asked if the Council supported fees on gas, electric, and broadband. She highlighted that reductions in
revenue from lower cable franchise fees resulting from decreased cable usage could be offset by
broadband franchise fees.
Mayor Webster directed Staff to explore all three options.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:May 12, 2026
Request: Discussion of Sustainable Building Policy/Ordinance
BACKGROUND
In the spring of 2025, the Parks and Environmental Commission (PEC) met to consider high level
parameters of a sustainable building policy. Considering a sustainable building policy for new and
remodeled construction projects was listed as an energy focus action item in the City’s Climate Plan.
At the work session, staff had shared best practices based on other agencies and requested feedback
pertaining to the type of approach, priority impacts to include in the overlay, as well as recommendation
on type of applicable projects.
The City Council then reviewed the PEC’s recommendations at a work session in the fall of 2025. Council,
PEC and staff agreed that a mandatory approach via ordinance was the most effective approach,
compared to suggestion or scoring approaches. A mandatory approach establishes a standard best
practice with straight forward guidance for developers.
The group had consensus that the ordinance should be applicable to new and redevelopments projects
impacting multi-family housing, commercial and industrial zones.
In addition, many agencies’ sustainable building ordinances or policies include “overlay” criteria, which
are essentially criteria specific to the community to capture the City’s priorities or context sensitives.
Most recently, the PEC met to review the following staff research, and discuss the merits of a draft
ordinance, attached to this memo, and reflecting the comments of the PEC.
STAFF RESEARCH
Staff had reviewed a number of local agencies’ sustainable building efforts. The Center for Energy and
Environment and Hennepin County developed a sustainable building policy guide in 2021, which the City
used as a key framework to develop their approach and ordinance.
Sustainable Building Policy Basics
A policy can include compliance with a third-party rating system (i.e. LEED, B3, etc) to support
standardization for sustainable building across the region. These rating systems are well-known
in the construction industry and allow developer flexibility to meet policy requirements.
A policy can also include specific for a Saint Anthony Village overlay which are specific to the City
and typically in addition to the third-party rating system.
The City is pursuing a mandatory approach via an ordinance, ensuring compliance from a sustainability
standpoint. More standardization helps with competition and cost control. Staff is mindful and heard
feedback from the PEC and Council to avoid turning off developers who are considering
new/redevelopment in SAV. Staff anticipates that a mandatory approach will result in less confusion as
9
having language in code will be clear for developers to follow, and if it is written into Code. Staff further
recommends a mandatory approach for maximum impact, as this relates to city Climate Plan goals for
reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Third Party Rating System
Best practices recommend the use of a third-party rating system, along with a customized City overlay.
This allows the city to customize its policy or ordinance, but provides flexibility for developers in how to
meet sustainable building targets
City benefits: lessens the need for specialized staff or extensive staff time in verifying project
compliance, since third-party systems already use widely accepted sustainability standards.
Other benefits: leveraging existing rating systems that are well-known in construction allows
easier communication and more cost-effective implementation.
Common examples: B3 Guidelines, LEED
Staff recommends the City considers utilizing a third-party rating system. This supports standardization
in the metropolitan area and state as well as addresses staff time and resources. Staff will research and
determine a third-party rating system.
City Overlay Criteria
It is common practice for cities to identify additional criteria for their policy. The Council may identify
criteria to include in their Sustainable Building Policy, in additional to the third-party rating system.
Recommended Overlay Criteria
-Predicted and actual energy use
-Predicted and actual use of potable water
-Utilization of renewable energy
-EV charging capability (if parking is included)
-Diversion of construction waste from landfills and incinerators
-Stormwater management
-Ongoing monitoring of actual energy and water use (track impacts and ensure compliance)
DRAFT ORDINANCE
The attached draft ordinance is designed to create a format for the PEC review and comment, based on
prior research and discussion at both PEC and City Council levels. The ordinance relies on the direction
provided by the PEC and staff, and incorporates elements of several of the local municipalities’ policy
documents for its structure.
The ordinance consists of four basic components. First is a general purpose statement which is intended
to encapsulate the many policy statements and direction that have led to the creation of the ordinance.
Next is a listing of those properties that would be subject to the requirements of the ordinance. These
include new Multiple Family developments of more than 4 units, expansions of existing multi-family
projects of more than four units, renovations of any multi-family projects that require specific zoning
approvals (such as Conditional Use Permits or Planned Unit Development).
Commercial and Industrial projects are included if they consist of new or expanded floor area of at least
10,000 square feet. The text proposes to exempt existing unaffected building area from the
requirements of the code, applying the requirements to the new square footage only. For renovation
project, the proposed language relies on valuation, using a threshold value of 50% of the existing value
as the point at which a renovation project would be required to incorporate the ordinance standards.
Finally, the draft ordinance would require that projects receiving City financial assistance would be held
to the standards in the new ordinance.
10
Included in this section is a note that applicants may seek relief by applying for a variance. Since the
Sustainable Building Ordinance is a component of the zoning ordinance, the terms of the zoning
variance process would apply to this section.
The third aspect of the proposed ordinance sets a series of standards that would apply to the buildings
identified in the second section. These include a reduction in energy use, a reduction in water use,
modifications to incorporate renewable energy sources, compliance with the City’s EV charging
requirements, a plan for diversion of construction waste from landfills and incinerators, and
improvements that will reduce stormwater runoff from the site.
Finally, the fourth section establishes a compliance and monitoring protocol through a third party
evaluator. This draft suggests that evaluation would occur at both permit application and one-year
stages to measure the impacts of both building compliance and ordinance effectiveness. Other methods
may be appropriate in this regard.
RECOMMENDATION/COUNCIL ACTION
Staff asks the Council to review the draft ordinance to ensure that the proposed ordinance reflects the
Council’s priorities. The PEC recommended this draft, modified in a few places to add clarity and ensure
consistency with the City’s Climate Plan objectives.
NEXT STEPS
Subject to Council comment and direction, this draft ordinance would next be reviewed by Planning
Commission which would hold a formal public hearing. Following the public hearing, the ordinance
would be sent back to City Council for three ordinance readings, which is standard practice based on the
City Code.
