A.3 Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To The
4 Establishment Of Regulations For Sustainable Development And Building Practices.
5
6 Mayor Webster reminded the Council that they first discussed the Sustainable Building
7 Ordinance at their work session on April 28, 2026, further reviewed and set goals at the work
8 session on May 12, 2026, and continued discussing proposed language at the work session on
9 July 14, 2026. She thanked Assistant City Manager Morello and City Manager Yunker for their
10 work amending the ordinance's language and for delivering its first reading.
11
12 Assistant City Manager Morello noted that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on
13 this ordinance the previous month. She stated that the ordinance contains four key parts:
14 threshold elements, establishment of third-party rating systems, sustainability standards, and
15 compliance and monitoring. She reminded the Council that they will have two more
16 opportunities to review the Sustainable Building Ordinance.
17
18 Councilmember Jenson highlighted that there have been many opportunities to discuss this
19 ordinance. He noted that people will be able to easily see their discussions and how the Council
20 reached its decisions regarding the language of the Sustainable Building Ordinance. He stated
21 that he is in favor of the current wording.
22
23 Mayor Webster asked if there is confirmation of the ordinance number. Assistant City Manager
24 Morello informed her that a number will be assigned before the final reading to ensure that
25 ordinances are numbered in the order they are passed.
26
27 Councilmember Doolan referenced the buildings identified in Section B as within the scope of
28 the ordinance and commented that she felt these were the correct buildings to subject to the
29 ordinance's restrictions due to their higher energy consumption.
30
31 Councilmember Doolan asked about criteria for obtaining a variance. Assistant City Manager
32 Morello stated that the variance process will be the same as St. Anthony’s general variance
33 process. Individuals can apply for a variance; it will be reviewed and considered by the Planning
34 Commission, and finally the Council will provide final approval.
35
36 Councilmember Doolan asked if Staff would like to add a specific number in Section D to
37 provide specific targets. She questioned if individuals will be incentivized to improve without
38 specific targets. She suggested putting more specific restrictions on publicly funded projects.
39 Councilmember Jenson reminded Councilmember Doolan that significant discussions led to the
40 decision not to include specific targets in the ordinance's language. He resisted making last-
41 minute changes to items that had been thoroughly discussed and agreed upon. He expressed
42 anxiety that the ordinance would become too restrictive. Councilmember Doolan stated that there
43 are significant differences among the third-party raters and highlighted that certain raters are
44 more specific. She stated that the different options, which have different standards, introduced
45 ambiguity.
46

1 Assistant City Manager Morello stated that the language in Section D reflects Council consensus.
2 She acknowledged and understood the differences between the rating systems in Section C, but
3 noted that the first two options are best-practice raters that many other cities are utilizing. She
4 reaffirmed the claim that these are the best possible systems available and provide a decent level
5 of consistency. Assistant City Manager Morello defended adding an equivalent substitute for a
6 new or unknown third-party system, so the City does not have to update the ordinance language
7 consistently.
8
9 Mayor Webster appreciated the similarity of the Sustainable Building Ordinance’s language to
10 neighboring communities, as this will prevent the ordinance from becoming a deterrent.
11
12 Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Doolan, to approve the First
13 Reading of Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To The
14 Establishment Of Regulations For Sustainable Development And Building Practices.
15
B.16 Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To Accessory
17 Buildings And Establishing Regulations For Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
18
19 Mayor Webster overviewed the ADU Ordinance’s path to the first reading. She stated that they
20 first discussed the ordinance at the work session on April 14, 2026, discussed it further at the
21 work session on May 26, 2026, and concluded the discussion at the work session on July 14,
22 2026. She reminded the Council there was also a Planning Commission public hearing. Mayor
23 Webster thanked Assistant City Manager Morello and City Manager Yunker for considering
24 their discussion, and requested they provide an overview of the ADU Ordinance.
25
26 Assistant City Manager Morello clarified that this is new language in the code to allow for
27 ADUs. She stated that this has been described as a gentle increase in density and that the ADUs
28 the City seeks to allow are attached to existing secondary or principal structures. She reviewed
29 the Planning Commission’s critiques of the definition of family and the removal of language
30 restricting that definition. Assistant City Manager Morello noted that Staff has removed the
31 language stating that ADUs were currently prohibited and has added language clarifying that
32 only one ADU is allowed per property. She highlighted significant language regarding the
33 ordinance's intent, where ADUs are allowed, and operational requirements.
34
35 Councilmember Doolan asked why the word “shall” as opposed to the word “must” was used
36 regarding utility connections. Assistant City Manager Morello stated that the word “shall” is
37 regularly used in the St. Anthony code. Still, she will flag it, and City Planner Grittman can
38 decide which language is most appropriate.
39
40 Councilmember Doolan appreciated the changes that loosen definitions on who may live in an
41 ADU.
42
43 Councilmember Doolan asked whether existing code requires secondary structures to have their
44 own utility box, and whether it supersedes Point J in the ADU Ordinance. She asked for clarity
45 on what “clustering” means. Assistant City Manager Morello stated that this section of the code
46 addresses whether an ADU requires its own utility box.

1
2 Councilmember Jenson stated that it was his understanding that separate buildings had to have
3 their own utility boxes. Assistant City Manager Morello highlighted that the code language asks
4 the property owner to combine the boxes if possible, but appreciates that if it is determined that a
5 separate box is required, the clause has been added to address the need for a second box.
6
7 Councilmember Doolan clarified that Section D requires one additional off-street parking spot
8 for a property with an ADU. She appreciated that it does not require covered parking, as that
9 could be restrictive.
10
11 Councilmember Doolan asked if standard building code addresses fire safety requirements.
12 Assistant City Manager Morello confirmed that those items are captured in the building code.
13
14 Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the First
15 Reading of Ordinance 2026-0X - Amending Section 154 Of The City Code Related To
16 Accessory Buildings And Establishing Regulations For Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

20 X. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
21
22 City Manager Yunker reported that the demonstration project at 29th and Silver Lake Road was
23 installed the previous Saturday. He thanked the Public Works Department and other Staff for the
24 work they put in. He thanked all of the Staff in all Departments for their work at VillageFest and
25 Night to Unite. City Manager Yunker noted that the City Communication Survey is still open
26 and encouraged all citizens to respond. He noted that the City received Comprehensive Plan
27 Proposals. Staff will work with the Council to schedule interviews and review RFPs. City
28 Manager Yunker finished by informing the Council that he attended his first board meeting with
29 the League of Minnesota Cities. He noted that they anticipate significant turnover at the State
30 level.
31
32 Councilmember Jenson reported that he attended five different Night to Unite block parties. He
33 stated it was a privilege to attend and that everyone was very kind.
34
35 Councilmember Doolan had no report. She thanked City Manager Yunker for participating in the
36 League of Minnesota Cities Board.
37
38 Mayor Webster noted that their House Representative, Sandra Feist, is not running for reelection.
39 She stated that one of the candidates requested a meeting with herself, Police Chief Spiess, and
40 Fire Chief Diaz, to learn more about St. Anthony’s Police and Fire Departments. She stated that
41 she attended this meeting on July 29. She reported that on July 31, she walked in the VillageFest
42 parade with the Council. Mayor Webster also hosted Bingo at VillageFest on August 1 with the
43 Council. She stated that she attended seven block parties on August 4 as part of Night to Unite.
44 Mayor Webster reported that on August 5, she met with a resident who has lived in St. Anthony
45 since 1961 to answer their questions about the City’s code compliance. She noted that on the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 10, 2026
Page 5
1 same day, she also met with Fozia, the Sustainability Intern. Mayor Webster reflected on how
2 lucky St. Anthony is to have her with the City.

4 XI.COMMUNITY FORUM.
5
6 Carl Neumann, a resident, yielded his time to Dr. Bibi Neumann.
7
8 Dr. Bibi Neumann, a resident, reviewed her academic history, including a doctorate in
9 psychology, a Juris Doctor, a master’s in counselor education, and a bachelor’s degree in social
10 work. She stated that the Agenda for August 10 raised questions for her regarding what the
11 resident-centered metric is. She reflected on the past meeting, stating that while City employees
12 deserve appreciation, a City Council meeting may not be the correct forum. She noted that the
13 presentations from the previous meeting did not show residents whether safety improved, trust
14 was increased, missing residents were reached, or if anything changed. Dr. Neumann highlighted
15 that in the Claims register, the Council is being asked to approve more than 759,000 dollars in
16 payments, but that residents only receive vendor names, dates, and amounts. She asked for a
17 distinction between liquor operations, utilities, public safety, construction, legal services, and
18 professional contracts by fund or public purpose. She stated that the register includes a 15,837.50
19 dollar payment to True North Electric. Dr. Neumann pointed out that the following agenda item
20 proposed another 20,750 dollar payment to the True North contract for EV chargers. She
21 acknowledged that these charges may be unrelated, but the packet does not allow residents to
22 know for certain. She commented that the lowest responsible bid is a conclusion, not an analysis.
23 Dr. Neumann reviewed that the proposal relies on tested and reconditioned switchgear because
24 the existing GE equipment is no longer manufactured. She stated that it no longer requires
25 shutting down the municipal liquor store for several hours. Dr. Bibi Neumann contrasted this
26 with the competing proposal, which has a different electrical configuration. She requested that
27 the Council understand what the differences in the proposal mean, and what consequences the
28 reconfigured component could have. She noted that the packet claims a grant will primarily
29 offset the costs but does not clarify how or what it will cover. She asked that the City establish a
30 metric of success for a Pilot, so they cannot later report only that chargers were installed. Dr.
31 Neumann reflected that the Sustainable Building Ordinance requires reductions in energy and
32 water usage, but provides no baselines. She stated that an ordinance should tell the public
33 directly what the law requires, and not have requirements lie outside the text. Dr. Bibi Neumann
34 stated that the ADU repeats Section Two, uses the wrong cross-reference, and both allows and
35 prohibits attachment to an existing accessory building. She noted that the City refers to this as a
36 Pilot but states that owner-occupancy, added parking, a 650-foot ceiling, and an undefined
37 service capacity cap may suppress participation. She requested that, if only a few ADUs are
38 built, the Council not see this as a lack of demand, since the rules could be limiting access. Dr.
39 Neumann concluded by emphasizing the importance of the Water Cybersecurity Public
40 Comment, noting that more than 30 Minnesota water systems were recently targeted in a
41 coordinated cyberattack. She noted that St. Anthony plans to update their water treatment plant
42 to allow for more automation and requested that residents be assured that operational risks,
43 vendor access, manual-operation backups, restoration, incident response, and resident
44 communication are being addressed before the system becomes operational. Dr. Neumann stated
45 that a resident-centered city connects what it does to why it matters, what it costs, who it
46 benefits, and what changed.

MEMORANDUM
To: Saint Anthony Village City Council
From: Deborah Maloney, Finance Director and Charlie Yunker, City Manager
Date: August 25, 2026
Request: 2027 Preliminary Levy & General Fund Budget
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 CATEGORY
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
service charges 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. The 2027 debt levy is currently projected to be
$2,099,661, an increase of $258,708 from the 2026 debt levy, primarily due to the full principal and
interest inclusion of the 2025 debt issue. The infrastructure portion of the combined levy is projected to
be $462,520, a decrease of $258,708 over the 2026 infrastructure levy.
Over the coming weeks, staff will conduct a more detailed analysis to determine whether available
funds on hand could allow the debt levy to be reduced and the Infrastructure Levy increased by a
corresponding amount. This approach would maintain a flat combined levy impact 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 $488,000 was reduced
by $150,000, consistent with the levy reduction applied in 2026, resulting in a 2027 levy of $338,000.
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 will
allocate the savings to reduce employee premiums.
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:August 25, 2026
Request: Sustainable Building Ordinance – Second Reading
BACKGROUND
This memorandum forwards the second 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 language is summarized below, and included in the packet
in full. As noted at the first reading, an ordinance number will be assigned at the third reading.
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. In this regard, the language of the code has
been modified slightly to clarify the residential threshold, which is any project of 5 or more dwelling
units. 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 approval of the second reading of the Sustainable Building Ordinance, subject to any
comments or questions. Further modifications can be made at the upcoming third reading as directed.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:August 25, 2026
Request: Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance – Second Reading
BACKGROUND
The City Council reviewed the proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance at a work session in
July. 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. After discussion, the Council approved the first
reading as proposed. Staff has made minor clerical changes to this second reading draft to ensure that
the ordinance is clear and does not rely on implied language.
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, including
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 approval of the second reading of the proposed ordinance. Any comments, changes,
or additional modifications are welcome to incorporate into the upcoming third and final reading.
