13
A.14 2027 Proposed Budget and Levy Presentation.
15
16 Finance Director Maloney presented on the 2027 Proposed Budget. She reviewed the 2027
17 Budget Calendar, which began in February. She noted some budget parameters, such as using
18 current run rates, conservative baseline estimates, expense budgeting to maintain current City
19 services, and liquor transfers. She explained the progress to date on budget development,
20 including the meetings where the budget was discussed, as well as Staff considerations and
21 calculations. Finance Director Maloney showed a chart breaking down the overall levy by fund
22 type: 72 percent General Fund and HRA, 23 percent Debt Service and Infrastructure Funds, and
23 five percent Capital/Building/Parks Improvements. She also presented a chart reviewing the
24 2027 General Fund revenues, including 77 percent tax levy, 10 percent intergovernmental
25 revenue, four percent licenses, permits, and fines, four percent transfers, two percent contracts,
26 and two percent miscellaneous. Finance Director Maloney presented a chart explaining the 2027
27 General Fund expenditures, including 41 percent Police, 23 percent Fire, 11 percent Public
28 Works, 11 percent Administration, six percent for all other Departments, five percent Parks, and
29 three percent Finance. She explained the pathway for creating the 2027 levy. She reviewed some
30 of the main 2027 budget cost drivers, such as Police services, personnel costs other than Police,
31 contracted services, other insurance costs, pass-through costs, supplies and utility costs, and
32 remaining budget line items. She provided the General Fund and total levy amounts. Finance
33 Director Maloney informed the Council of additional considerations, including shifting focus to
34 Capital levies for CIP, Buildings and Parks funds, continuing to increase costs for equipment and
35 facility maintenance and upgrades, planning for a Public Safety Facility, and franchise fees. She
36 concluded with a review of the next steps, reviewing what will be discussed regarding the budget
37 and levy in coming meetings. She requested Council feedback, and noted that the levy can be
38 reduced.
39
40 Mayor Webster thanked Finance Director Maloney for her review and for reminding everyone
41 that the preliminary levy amount approved in September will be the highest the levy may be.
42
43 Councilmember Doolan asked whether the 135,000 dollars allocated to Comprehensive Plan
44 updates is specific to the RFP for community engagement, or will be used to fund additional
45 required work by current Staff. Finance Director Maloney stated that it includes only the RFP, as
46 the City Planner did not expect additional costs to be billed outside of it. Councilmember Doolan

1 noted that relief could come in the form of a grant from Met Council. Finance Director Maloney
2 reminded that the one-time costs are coming from additional funds the City currently has, not the
3 levy.
4
B.5 Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To The
6 Establishment Of Regulations For Sustainable Development And Building Practices.
7
8 City Planner Grittman briefly reviewed the history and context of the Sustainable Building
9 Ordinance. He noted that this is the second of three readings of this ordinance, and that Council
10 did not direct any changes to the text in the first reading. He stated that the ordinance discusses
11 the types of projects subject to it, the third-party rating system it uses, categories to be reviewed
12 in buildings subject to it, such as water use, and compliance and monitoring.
13
14 Mayor Webster reviewed the previous discussion of this ordinance and the meetings at which it
15 was discussed.
16
17 Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Elnagdy, to approve the
18 second reading of Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To
19 The Establishment Of Regulations For Sustainable Development And Building Practices.
20
21 Motion carried 4-0.
22
C.23 Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To Accessory
24 Buildings And Establishing Regulations For Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
25
26 City Planner Grittman noted that this is the second of three readings of this ordinance. He stated
27 that this ordinance arose from a discussion about land use and affordability. He noted slight
28 changes in the language to clarify that the City was not relying on implied standards in the
29 previous reading. He stated that the ordinance clarifies that it negates the previous prohibition on
30 ADUs, and that only one ADU is allowed per lot in a single-family district. He highlighted that
31 there would likely be more discussion of the ADU ordinance during the Comprehensive
32 Planning process and further housing discussions.
33
34 Councilmember Elnagdy noted a potential inconsistency: Section 2A states that an ADU may be
35 attached to an existing principal or accessory building, but also states that no attachment to or
36 occupancy of other accessory buildings is permitted. City Planner Grittman stated that she is
37 correct, and that the first language mentioned, stating that an ADU could be attached to an
38 existing accessory building, is correct. He thanked Councilmember Elnagdy for her vigilance.
39
40 Mayor Webster provided an overview of the previous discussion of this ordinance and the
41 meetings at which it was discussed.
42
43 Motion by Councilmember Elnagdy, seconded by Councilmember Doolan, to approve the
44 second reading of Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To
45 Accessory Buildings And Establishing Regulations For Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

3 X. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
4
5 Assistant City Manager Morello reported that Fozia Warsame, the Summer Sustainability Intern,
6 has her final day with the City on Friday, August 28, 2026. She thanked Fozia for all her hard
7 work and noted what a pleasure it was to have her, and how sad it will be to see her depart.
8
9 Councilmember Randle had no report.
10
11 Councilmember Doolan reported that she attended the MWMO Board Executive Planning
12 meeting where they discussed how professional St. Anthony Staff is.
13
14 Councilmember Elnagdy had no report.
15
16 Mayor Webster thanked Deputy Fire Chief Jaros for conducting CPR and First Aid classes,
17 noting that she will have conducted four classes in one week for school staff.
18
19 XI.COMMUNITY FORUM.
20
21 Carl Neumann, a resident, yielded his time to Dr. Bibi Neumann.
22
23 Dr. Bibi Neumann, a 20-year resident and businessperson, noted that she submitted a public
24 comment and submitted an email. She requested it be preserved appropriately, including her
25 authorship and credentials, and that confirmation of receipt be provided with the retaining
26 department noted. She reviewed her extensive educational history, including previous work on
27 the Planning Commission and municipal work in St. Anthony. She noted the importance of a
28 through line from evidence to results. She highlighted that the packet regarding the Salo trip does
29 not inform residents of the trip's costs or who paid them, despite the fact that these costs were
30 likely documented. She commented that undocumented expenditures can’t be understood by
31 residents, which is important if public funds were used to pay for the trip. She overviewed notes
32 within the packet regarding the public/private partnerships that the Salo delegation witnessed and
33 how these could be brought to St. Anthony, including building a campus at 39th and Stinson. She
34 took issue with a note that questioned how the City could learn what investors think would be
35 best for the City, stating that residents should define this. She expressed that the ADU ordinance
36 makes it difficult for residents to determine which types of ADUs are allowed, such as one built
37 above a detached garage. She highlighted that the Sustainable Building Ordinance requires
38 reductions in water and energy use without establishing a baseline. Dr. Neumann noted that she
39 submitted articles from the Journal of the American Planning Association to show how local
40 conditions and implementation shape housing outcomes. She requested a definition of what
41 residents will receive from the 135,000 dollars and 20,000 dollars allocated to the Comp Plan
42 update and sustainability initiatives, respectively. She requested that her submissions be
43 preserved, that a full accounting of the Salo trip be provided, that ambiguities be corrected, and
44 that spending be connected to results. She requested more analysis and public participation
45 regarding the proposals discussed in the Salo, Finland, trip packet.

County to Accept IGNITE Program Funding
BACKGROUND
In early 2026, staff applied for funds from the Hennepin County IGNITE (Investing in Green
Neighborhoods, through Innovation, Transformation and Emissions Reduction) community climate
mitigation program. IGNITE provides funding to municipalities and community-based organizations to
directly reduce or prevent local greenhouse gas emissions, as part of countywide climate targets
outlined in the Hennepin County Climate Action Plan.
Staff were notified in August that up to $25,000 is available to support the City’s LED lighting retrofit
project at the Tennis Courts. This project will upgrade the existing light bulbs to modern LEDs, which will
improve performance and energy efficiency with energy cost savings anticipated as a result.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize staff to enter the agreement with Hennepin County for IGNITE
program funding.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Jeremy Gumke, Public Works Director
Date:September 8, 2026
Request: Resolution 26-057 – Authorizing Staff to Enter an Agreement with Ramsey
County To Accept the Be Active! Be Green! Bench Grant
BACKGROUND
As part of the City’s continuous efforts to enhance amenities throughout our parks system, staff applied
for a Be Active! Be Green! Bench Grant through Ramsey County.
Active Living Ramsey Communities works to place benches on trails and pedestrian corridors throughout
Ramsey County to create a more walkable environment for people of all ages and abilities.
The goal of the Be Active! Be Green! Bench Initiative is to have benches placed often enough so that
when people sit on one bench, they can see the next one – with the thought that seniors, people with
disabilities, or small children can more easily make it to the next bench.
Saint Anthony Village was awarded three benches that will be placed in Salo Park; two benches adjacent
to the north pond and one bench adjacent to the south pond. The current property owners of both
parcels granted the city their endorsement for the bench installations. These new benches, in addition
to the existing benches in the park, will achieve the goal of the initiative.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to authorize staff to execute the agreement.

MEMORANDUM
To: Saint Anthony Village City Council
From: Deborah Maloney, Finance Director and Charlie Yunker, City Manager
Date: September 8, 2026
Request: Resolution 26-058 – Setting The Preliminary 2027 Tax Levy And General
Operating Budget For The City Of Saint Anthony Village And Certifying Debt Levy
Reductions
BACKGROUND
The 2027 budget development process began with the Council’s established priorities from the goal-
setting process and strategic plan. Staff worked to incorporate these priorities into the budget and
provided opportunities for Council discussion and input during work sessions in July and August.
Staff also conducted a detailed review of departmental budgets and individual accounts to establish
reasonable 2026 estimated actuals and identify anticipated changes for 2027. Departments were
consulted regarding new costs, service needs, and budget requests, with items requiring Council
direction brought forward for consideration.
Revenue projections were developed using historical performance, current trends, and the most recent
available information. As the process progressed, expenditure and revenue estimates were continually
refined based on updated vendor costs, labor negotiations, departmental information, and other known
changes.
The proposed budget is intended to maintain the City’s current level of services while appropriately
accounting for known cost increases and anticipated operational needs. Staff also considered the
appropriate use of fund balance and other available resources to address one-time expenditures and
manage the overall levy.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND LEVY
The standard parameters used for preparing the General Fund Budget and Levy include:
City revenues budgeted at current run rates for sources that are subject to trends and
conservative baseline estimates for re-occurring aids and charges for services.
Expenses budgeted at amounts that will maintain present level of City services.
Liquor transfers to the General Fund based on liquor operating results from the previous 5-7
years and the long-term needs of the fund.
THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND LEVY DETAILS
Each year, General Fund revenue and expenditure budget line items are carefully reviewed to identify
changes in expected collections and charges, labor costs, contract rates, insurance premiums, utility
costs, material usage, and other operational needs. This review helps identify the key factors, or cost
drivers, contributing to the proposed change in the Overall Levy. The charts below illustrate the primary
cost drivers affecting General Fund dollars and how those funds are allocated.
General Fund Expenditures
SAINT ANTHONY SHARE OF POLICE COSTS – 40% of expenditures
Beginning in 2026, Police Services have been accounted for in a segregated Special Revenue Fund, with
Saint Anthony’s portion remaining in the General Fund. For consistency and to provide meaningful year-
over-year comparisons, 2025 comparative costs have been restated to reflect this format. Saint
Anthony’s budgeted police costs were $3,990,014 in 2026 and are projected to increase to $4,108,609 in
2027.
This represents a 2.97% increase to the City in 2027, assuming a 3.5% COLA and anticipated wage
adjustments are applied. The 2027–2028 union contracts remain under negotiation and may result in
additional changes to the budget.
PERSONNEL COSTS OTHER THAN POLICE – 36% of expenditures
Personnel costs other than Police Services account for approximately 36% of General Fund
expenditures. For 2027, the base wage increase assumes a 3.5% COLA for all union contracts, which has
also been applied to non-union positions for budgeting purposes. Based on these assumptions, general
fund wages and payroll expenses for non-police positions are estimated to increase by $143,953. Health
insurance premiums are expected to decrease slightly, by an average of 3.8%.

GENERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES
BY DEPARTMENT
While premium changes are typically shared 50/50 between the City and employees, the 2027 decrease
will allocate the savings to reduce employee premiums. Assuming the same employee-elected coverage
levels from 2026 continue into 2027, the health insurance decrease is expected to reduce the General
Fund's costs by approximately $24,501.
CONTRACTED SERVICES – 11% of expenditures.
Contracted and Professional Services are projected to increase by approximately $247,820 in 2027,
based on 2026 actual costs and known increases. The larger increases include:
$135,000 for estimated 2027 Comprehensive Plan update costs.
$19,500 for increased attorney expenses.
$18,000 for new annual data digitization costs.
$20,000 for new sustainability initiatives.
Contracted information technology costs are also projected to increase by $25,700, based on 2026
actual costs, with the majority of the increase attributable to technology costs within the Fire
Department.
OTHER INSURANCE COSTS – 2% of expenditures
Other insurance costs are expected to increase by approximately $25,382 in 2027. The primary driver of
the increase is workers’ compensation insurance, including costs associated with new Fire Fighter
positions added in 2026.
PASS THROUGH COSTS – 3% of expenditures
Pass through costs are projected to increase by approximately $6,000. These costs have no impact on
the property tax levy.
SUPPLIES AND UTILITY COSTS – 7% of expenditures
Supplies and utility costs are expected to increase by $19,180. The estimate is based on actual
expenditures from 2025 and 2026, with the primary increases related to repair and maintenance costs.
REMAINING BUDGET LINE ITEMS – 1% of overall expenditures
Remaining budget line items are projected to decrease by approximately $9,845, based on 2025 and
2026 actual costs.
GENERAL FUND REVENUES AND AVAILABLE RESOURCES
General Fund revenues and available resources reflect several notable changes for 2027. The loss of the
Dish Network antenna rental lease reduces General Fund revenues by approximately $32,400. Police
charges for services are no longer included in the General Fund beginning in 2026 due to the
establishment of the segregated Special Revenue Fund.
The budget also assumes an increased level of excess TIF collections of approximately $100,000, while
the liquor transfer to the General Fund remains at $300,000. In addition, the 2027 budget includes a
planned use of $147,400 in fund balance to support one-time costs, including Police Department
recruiting and Comprehensive Plan update expenses.
The chart below demonstrates the percentage of revenue sources that fund the general fund:
HRA BUDGET AND LEVY
The 2027 HRA Budget and Levy is proposed at the same amount as 2026, 0% Levy increase.
The 2027 Debt and Infrastructure Levies are proposed to remain flat compared with the combined 2026
levies, resulting in $0 net increase to the total levy. After examining debt service fund balances and
future needs of each fund, the 2027 debt levy has been reduced from the initial schedule of $2,099,661,
by $505,000.81, to a revised levy amount of $1,594,660.
This represents decrease of $246,293 from the 2026 debt levy, due to the availability of funds on hand
in the respective debt service funds. The infrastructure portion of the combined levy increased by
corresponding amount of $246,293, bringing it to $967,521 for 2027.
This adjustment maintains a flat combined levy for the Street Improvement Program for the eighth
consecutive year.
CAPITAL FUNDS
The 2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) levy The CIP Fund planned levy of $488,200 was reduced
by $150,000, consistent with the levy reduction applied in 2026, resulting in a 2027 levy of $338,200.
The 2027 Building Improvement levy is proposed to increase by $15,000, for a 2027 levy of $145,500.
The 2027 Park Improvement Levy is proposed to increase by $35,000 for a 2027 levy of $75,000 to
establish a higher future base levy that will better accommodate increased park maintenance and
replacement costs, as well as cover interfund loan payments.
These moderate levy increases are recommended to provide funding for anticipated expenses identified
in the Capital Improvement Plan. Council will review the Capital Improvement Plan and available funding
options in October.

2027 Budget Cost Drivers
SAINT ANTHONY SHARE OF POLICE COSTS
40% of expenditures.
Beginning in 2026, Police Services are accounted for in a segregated Special
Revenue Fund, with Saint Anthony’s share remaining in the General Fund. 2025
comparative costs were restated for consistency.
2026 budgeted police costs for Saint Anthony are projected to increase from
$3,990,014 in 2026 to $4,108,609 in 2027.
This represents a 2.97% increase to the city in 2027. The estimate assumes a COLA
of 3.5% and anticipated wage adjustments.
2027-2028 union contracts remain under negotiation and may impact the budget.
PERSONNEL COSTS OTHER THAN POLICE
36% of general fund expenditures
The 2027 base wage increase is estimate assumes a 3.5% COLA for all union contracts, also
applied to non-union positions.
The general fund estimated wage and payroll expense increase for non-police positions is
$143,953.
Health insurance premiums decreased slightly, by an average of 3.8%. While premium
changes are typically shared 50/50 between the City and employees, the 2027 decrease was
used as a bargaining tool in labor negotiations, allowing the full savings to benefit employees.
The 2027 general fund impact of the decrease is $24,501 assuming the same employee
elected coverage from 2026 are applied to 2027.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:September 8, 2026
Request: Ordinance 2026-02 – Sustainable Building Ordinance Final Reading
BACKGROUND
This memorandum forwards the third reading of the proposed Sustainable Building Ordinance, Section
154.170, a new section of code that would set standards for new or extensively remodeled buildings to
further the City’s objectives in environmental stewardship. The ordinance reflects various City policies
and plans, and is designed to require new construction or reconstruction to meet specific types of
sustainability and climate goals.
At the first reading, the Council engaged in a discussion clarifying some aspects of the ordinance, but
requested no modifications to the draft. The second reading likewise resulted in no proposed changes.
The third reading is presented consistent with the prior readings for consideration.
As noted previously, the ordinance lays out a primary purpose statement, referring to the City’s goals,
then identifies the types of projects that will be subject to the regulations. The ordinance then identifies
qualified programs that property owners must reference that establish policies and practices that can be
used to rate the owner’s efforts (such as LEED or State of Minnesota B3 Guidelines).
The ordinance also provides for alternative approaches that may also accomplish the goals. The fourth
section of the ordinance lays out specific standards and categories of performance, including energy
savings, water consumption, renewable energy programs, electric vehicle charging, deconstruction or
demolition recycling efforts, and compliance with contemporary stormwater management standards.
Finally, the ordinance sets out a compliance and monitoring protocol to track project performance and
effectiveness of the code. The ordinance utilizes a one-year and two-year reporting standard, which will
help to ensure that the intent of the ordinance is being implemented, as well as to give the City a means
to evaluate the code standards and whether updates or modifications might be appropriate.
The ordinance notes that as a zoning regulation, code compliance will follow the City’s typical zoning
enforcement process, which starts with communication and negotiated efforts to achieve compliance,
but allows the City to utilize other compliance tools if that becomes necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 2026-02, upon consideration of the third reading of the
Sustainable Building Ordinance, subject to any comments or questions.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:September 8, 2026
Request: Ordinance 2026-03 – Accessory Dwelling Units Final Reading
BACKGROUND
The City Council reviewed the proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance at a worksession in
July of this year. This discussion followed a public hearing on the proposed ordinance held by the
Planning Commission in June. The City Council accepted the Planning Commission’s recommendation,
and authorized staff to prepare the ordinance for its required three readings. The first reading was
considered at the Council’s meeting on August 10, 2026. The second reading was considered at the
Council’s meeting on August 24, 2026.
It was noted during discussion of the second reading that the language of Section (3)(a) included
conflicting language related to the occupancy of detached buildings with an ADU. In reviewing this
language, staff found that the intent of the clause (but not fully written into the text) was to require that
ADU occupancy of any accessory building on a property was to be limited to a “major” accessory
building, defined in the ordinance as accessory buildings of more than 200 square feet of floor area.
Minor accessory buildings, defined as those accessory buildings of 200 square feet or less are not to be
eligible to accommodate ADUs.
Minor accessory buildings of this size do not require building permits, and are most often constructed
without full frost footings or other features required by the building code, such as energy code or similar
applicable standards. As such, limiting conversion or remodeling of only the larger accessory buildings
helps to ensure that all buildings will meet the building code as it now applies. The revised language has
been included in the third reading as follows:
(3)Operational Requirements.
(a)Structure Requirement. Any ADU shall be required to be part of, or attached
to, an existing principal dwelling or a major detached accessory structure.
No freestanding ADUs, nor any attachment to or occupancy of any other
minor accessory building shall be allowed.
As written, the ordinance proposes a limited allowance for the establishment of ADUs as permitted
accessory uses on single-family residential property in the R-1 or R-1A Districts, subject to a series of
requirements and conditions. The ordinance sets out the purpose and intent in Section (1), creates a
number of administrative qualifications for eligible lots in Section (2), and describes a series of
operational requirements in Section (3).
As the Council has discussed previously, it is expected that during the upcoming 2050 Comprehensive
Plan update, much more discussion and policymaking direction is a likely focus of housing, which may
impact ADUs. This ordinance will give the City a few years of experience with ADU development and
regulation to help frame other housing policy decisions at that time.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance 2026-03, following the third and final reading of the proposed
ordinance as presented.
