ABSENT: None. Quorum Present. ALSO PRESENT: City Manager Erik Thorvig; Community Development Director Sheila Sellman; Safety Services Director/Police Chief Brian Podany; Fire Chief Dan Retka; Finance Director Jason Zimmerman; Director of Administrative Services Scott Johnson; Director of Engineering Dan Schluender; Public Works Director Nick Fleishhacker; and City Attorney Eric Larson. 3.New Business ## 3.1.2026-79Utility Franchise Fee Implementation Timeline (30 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Jason Zimmerman, Finance Director Mayor Sanders reported the city's request for a local area sales tax was heard by the senate and noted he was hopeful a tax bill would be approved this session. He explained this matter would be heard by the tax committee on Wednesday, April 15 at 8:30AM. Page 15 of 194 Finance Director Zimmerman stated in conjunction with workshops held on January 13, 2025, September 8, 2025, November 17, 2025, and January 23, 2026, City staff conducted meetings with all local gas and electric providers, including CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, Connexus, and Centennial Utilities. These meetings occurred alongside the ongoing workshop series to inform providers of the City’s intent to establish franchise fees, discuss the formal process for renegotiating expired agreements, and collect the necessary data for fiscal modeling. Under Minnesota Statute 216B.36, the City maintains broad authority to negotiate these franchise ordinances for the use of public rights-of-way. While certain natural gas agreements remain in effect, others with Xcel Energy and Connexus have expired and must be updated to ensure uniform provisions across all providers before a fee can be officially implemented. Mr. Zimmerman reported staff explored a flat-fee model based on the City of Lakeville’s structure, which is estimated to generate approximately $5.9 million in annual revenue. This benchmark was selected because it reflects current market conditions in a comparable community and aligns closely with the debt and levy portions of Blaine's 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Plan. Unlike property taxes, which rely on fluctuating valuations, a flat-rate franchise fee provides a stable, predictable revenue stream that includes contributions from tax-exempt properties such as educational institutions and public property. Financial modeling indicates that this approach is equitable for most residents and businesses; for example, the median residential property would see a net benefit of approximately $17.61 annually when comparing the franchise fee to the property tax increase that would otherwise be required to fund these capital needs. While implementing franchise fees requires significant administrative coordination and active negotiation with utilities, the long-term fiscal benefits include immediate revenue from new construction and a diversified funding base that reduces the overall debt burden. If the City Council proceeds with implementation in 2026, the first significant impact on the annual debt levy would likely occur by 2029. This would allow for a full year of revenue collection to validate budget projections and ensure a prudent transition toward cash-funding essential infrastructure. Mr. Zimmerman explained If the Council reaches a consensus to move forward with the process as drafted, a mandatory 60-day notice period for utilities could begin on April 15, 2026. This would lead into a staggered legislative path where the Franchise Ordinances, the legal agreements themselves, would tentatively be slated for a first reading on May 17 and adoption on June 1. Following this, the Fee Ordinances, which define the specific rates and classes, would move toward a public hearing and first reading on June 14, with a targeted adoption date of July 6. Because this is a preliminary planning document, the dates are meant to illustrate the significant lead times required by statutory and contractual obligations. For example, once an ordinance is adopted, a 90-day notification and publication period must occur before any fees become active. Under this current conceptual model, the effective date would be October 5, 2026. However, the core objective of this workshop discussion is to ensure the Council is comfortable with the proposed pace and the legal requirements of the transition before any formal notices or publications are initiated. Jacob Saufley, Attorney with Eckberg Lammers, presented the procedural framework and necessary timelines for establishing new franchise and fee ordinances. He explained the city had three gas companies and two electric companies operating in Blaine. He explained the notice process would begin over the next six weeks if the council were to proceed with the Page 16 of 194 utility franchise fee implementation. The proposed fee structure and public hearing process for the franchise ordinance was further reviewed with the council. Sample ordinances from other communities were discussed along with the proposed timeline that would have to be followedin order to get the franchise fees in place by January 1. Councilmember Newland asked how the city would address the franchise agreements that were current. Mr. Saufley explained the active franchise agreements were similar and would not require any changes or adjustments at this time. He noted amendments could be made to get the franchises on the same 20-year cycle. Councilmember Newland inquired how the franchise fee would appear on a utility bill. Mr. Saufley reported there would be a line item on the bill for a city franchise fee. Councilmember Newland anticipated it would be easier to have a smaller monthly fee charged to residents than for a larger amount to be charged quarterly to residents. City Manager Thorvig agreed, noting communication with the public would be key. Councilmember Larson questioned what type of fee would be charged to residents. Mr. Zimmerman reviewed the fees that are being charged by other communities and noted the Lakeville scenario was the recommendation from staff. Mr. Saufley stated cities tend to prefer a flat fee being charged to users because this was more predictable versus a consumption-based fee. Mr. Thorvig reported staff supported the flat fee model because this would provide the city with consistent revenues. He requested direction from the council on how to proceed. Councilmember Robertson thanked staff for the presentation and explained she supported the city moving forward with the proposed flat franchise fee following the Lakeville model. It was her hope this item could move forward and did not believe this topic needed to be brought back for further discussion at a workshop meeting. Councilmember Massoglia supported the franchise fees moving forward following the Lakeville model as well. Councilmember Newland and Councilmember Fleming agreed with this recommendation. Councilmember Ford supported staff moving forward with the franchise fees. ## 3.2.2026-80SBM Fire Department - Quarterly Update (30 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Daniel Retka, Fire Chief Fire Chief Retka provided the council with a quarterly update from the SBM Fire Department. He explained the SBM Fire Department was now serving over 106,000+ people with high quality services at one of the lowest costs in the country. He reported calls for service were up for the year while response times were improving due to the new staffing Page 17 of 194 models. He discussed how overlapping calls were continuing to grow, which was typical for a growing department. He thanked the fire corp for their continued dedication and service to the community. The training provided to SBM firefighters was discussed along with the training that was being provided to departments in Anoka and Ramsey Counties. He described how plans were moving forward for the new fire station. He reported SBM entered into an agreement with ICS to consider the department's space needs going forward. Councilmember Larson thanked Chief Retka noting she greatly appreciated hearing the cost per resident for fire services was quite low when compared to neighboring communities. She asked how the department was able to achieve such positive cost-saving measures. Chief Retka explained the department had a very lean budget with zero waste and was operating more like a business. Councilmember Ford questioned if the fire department had an ISO rating completed recently. Fire Chief Retka explained the department had an ISO rating of 3. Councilmember Ford requested the calls for service information be broken down by station for the city council to review. Councilmember Newland asked how the fire department back filled when overlapping calls occurred. Chief Retka discussed how staff back filled and how mutual aid was offered from neighboring communities when overlapping calls occurred. Further discussion ensued regarding the benefits of having drones on scene prior to fire arriving. Chief Retka spoke to the rising number of list assist calls in the community. Councilmember Robertson commended Chief Retka for the reputation that has been built for the SBM Fire Department. Mayor Sanders thanked Chief Retka for his presentation and stated he was proud of the great work the fire department was doing in the community. ## 3.3.2026-81Petition to Modify Flowerfield Road (30 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Daniel Schluender, Director of Engineering Director of Engineering Schluender stated a petition was received on January 15, 2026, from Weston Woods on Rice Creek Association. The petition asks council to consider a reconfiguration of Flowerfield Road going east of Lexington Avenue to close it to through traffic by any means such that vehicles may not enter or exit at the city border between the City of Blaine and the City of Circle Pines. The council received the petition at their regular scheduled meeting on February 2, 2026, and recommended the item be sent to workshop for discussion. A brief history outlines that in September 2020, a resident approached the Traffic Commission with concerns about Flowerfield Road (Lexington Avenue to the eastern city limits). Based on the resident's request, the Traffic Commission directed staff to collect traffic data and present the information to the commission and also to invite the entire Page 18 of 194 neighborhood to that meeting. At the May 2021 Traffic Commission meeting, the Traffic Commission was presented the collected data and heard testimony from the neighborhood. The neighborhood concerns about Flowerfield Road included traffic volume, traffic speeds, lack of pedestrian facilities, and the rural nature of the roadway section. Their main concern, however, was the lack of pedestrian sidewalks or trails on Flowerfield Road. The Traffic Commission walked the neighborhood through the process of how to petition the city council for consideration of improvements. He noted a petition has been submitted with a request to alter Flowerfield Road in such a fashion as to not allow vehicles to enter or exit across the Blaine/Circle Pines border. Councilmember Newland commented he met with the homeowners association and they readily agreed to separate the road from the development to the north. He explained the neighbors supported development but have questions and concerns about the road. He understood the road was not that old and nobody wanted to pay for improvements. He indicated he supported the residents and homeowners association and their interest to close the road, but noted the recommendations from the area police chiefs should also be taken into consideration. He suggested barricades be put up as this would be a show of support for the residents. Councilmember Massoglia stated he did not support making any changes. Councilmember Robertson indicated she has had polite engagement with the residents in this area of Blaine and understood their concerns but explained she was having a difficult time not taking into consideration the recommendations from public safety. She suggested no changes be made to the road at this time until the new development was completed, adding it did not make sense to close a road that was being used. Councilmember Ford stated he agreed with Councilmember Robertson. He asked if the new development would push more traffic onto Flowerfield Road. Mr. Schluender explained the new development would have 37 units. Staff was estimating the development would generate less than 300 trips per day, with all vehicles using Flowerfield Road. He indicated staff was surprised that the petition that was brought forward did not address a path or trail along Flowerfield Road. Mayor Sanders commented he was surprised the petition did not request a trail as well. Councilmember Larson asked if the discussion surrounding the sidewalk was closed. Mr. Schluender explained a sidewalk request was not being requested at this time within the petition, but direction could be provided by the city council. Mr. Schluender estimated the sidewalk improvements would cost $500,000 to $600,000 to update this road from a rural section to a roadway with a sidewalk. Mayor Sanders stated it appears this was an unnatural stretch of roadway for walkers. Councilmember Newland inquired if sidewalks and gutters would be added the next time Flowerfield Road was improved. Mr. Schluender stated this would be an item for discussion for the council to consider the next time this roadway was improved. Page 19 of 194 Councilmember Fleming asked how the city would cover the $500,000 to $600,000 expense for the sidewalk if this project were to move forward. Mr. Schluender reported this expense would be covered by assessments. Councilmember Robertson indicated she believed it would be best for the council to take no action on this item until the new development was completed. Councilmember Newland said he did not believe the council should tie improvements to the road to a specific development as this would complicate things. He supported the council responding to the petition at this time. Mayor Sanders asked if there was enough room for a sidewalk along Flowerfield Road. Mr. Schluender reported the city had the previous developer dedicate right of way on the south side of Flowerfield Road. He indicated the developer on the north side would dedicate 75% of the north side, which would provide enough room for a street and sidewalk. Councilmember Ford asked if it would be cheaper for the city to install a bike path than a sidewalk. Mr. Schluender stated trails were eight feet wide and were generally cheaper to install than a six-foot concrete sidewalk. Mayor Sanders commented he did not support closing the road and explained he would be interested in learning more about the cost for a path or sidewalk and what the timing for this project would be. Mr. Schluender thanked the council for their feedback and stated he would have a conversation with the HOA. ## 3.4.2026-82Sidewalk and Trail Plowing Requirements (40 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Erik Thorvig, City Manager Mr. Thorvig stated the topic of sidewalk plowing has been discussed by the city council several times over the past year. The current city ordinance states that "no owner or occupant of any property, in front of which or adjacent to which, a sidewalk has been constructed for use of the public, shall allow snow to remain upon the sidewalk longer than 48 hours after the snow has ceases to fall thereon." In other words, sidewalk plowing is the responsibility of the resident. However, the current practice/policy is that the city plows all sidewalks within the city which conflicts with the ordinance. Research indicates the city has plowed sidewalks dating back to the 1980s. The city has a Snow and Ice Removal policy that was adopted in 2002 and amended in 2009, 2017 and 2020 through action of the city council. The city council has had discussions regarding the conflict in the ordinance and policy dating back to 2000. However, no action has ever been taken to resolve the issue. Information was presented at the January 2026 retreat regarding the financial impact on the city of plowing sidewalks. The city expended annually, on average, $18,856 in overtime costs over the last four years to plow sidewalks. Yearly expenses vary depending on the amount of snow received. If the city were to not plow sidewalks, there would be savings in overtime expenses and also result in a reduction in the sidewalk plowing fleet over time. The city council requested additional information at the January retreat regarding enforcement if the residents were required to plow sidewalks. Page 20 of 194 Mr. Thorvig commented staff was able to obtain a survey completed by the City of Bloomington, who surveyed 14 cities on their policies for sidewalk plowing. There is a mix of policies which will be touched on later in this report. Additionally, Blaine staff surveyed eight comparable Minnesota cities that require property owners to clear sidewalks adjacent to their properties. The purpose was to document current practices regarding deadlines, enforcement approaches, notice procedures, clearance methods, penalties, and real-world outcomes. For cities that require residents to plow sidewalks, enforcement is complaint- driven in every case (no city uses proactive city-initiated inspections). Data was compiled from city responses in early 2026 and includes both quantitative details and qualitative comments provided by each city. Based on the Bloomington survey and data compiled by Blaine, there are several options that Blaine could consider based on the practices of other cities. Option 1: Maintain current operations as-is. This would require a change to the current ordinance to be consistent with the practice. Option 2: The City would maintain sidewalks adjacent to city property and trails (City and County); Residents/businesses responsible for sidewalks adjacent to their property. Option 3: The City would maintain sidewalks adjacent to city property and trails (City and County); the City would maintain school zones and other primary routes; Residents/businesses responsible for sidewalks adjacent to their property. This option would require identifying school zone and primary routes. Mr. Thorvig indicated Options 2 and 3 require enforcement by the city for residents and businesses who do not plow sidewalks. Based on the survey of other cities, staff would propose the following enforcement structure. An ordinance would need to be adopted identifying the requirements and enforcement. Staff provided the council with further information on the challenges the city would face when it comes to enforcement and requested direction from the council on how to proceed. Councilmember Massoglia stated if the council was debating the expense of $18,000 per year, he did not believe this was a big cost concern but was concerned about the expense of the $250,000 sidewalk snowplow machines. He explained if the city were to move to Option 2 or Option 3 the city could go from six to two sidewalk snowplow machines, which was $1 million in equipment savings. Councilmember Robertson asked if the city had to clear the county trails and sidewalks. Mr. Thorvig reported this work was written into the JPAs. Councilmember Larson indicated she supported the city moving forward with Option 2. Councilmember Newland explained he supported Option 1 moving forward, but noted he was intrigued by the Burnsville model that charged residents that lived along a sidewalk a nominal fee for snow removal. Councilmember Ford stated he supported Option 1 as well, noting he did not support the city taking away a service that has been provided to residents. He commented this was also Page 21 of 194 a safety concern for him as he wanted to see sidewalks free and clear of snow in a timely manner for children walking to school. Councilmember Massoglia indicated he supported Option 2, noting this was not an essential city service. Councilmember Robertson reported she supported Option 2 as well. Councilmember Fleming stated she supported Option 2. Council consensus was to direct staff to move forward with Option 2. 3.5.2026-832027 Budget - Review of Small Group Meetings; Outcomes and Council ## Direction (30 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Jason Zimmerman, Finance Director Mr. Thorvig stated at the February 18 City Council Workshop, staff presented a review of the 2027 budget process with suggestions to improve the process going forward. Following the established schedule, the City Manager and Finance Department met with Council in small groups throughout late March and early April. These discussions focused on data-driven assumptions for operations, capital, and debt funding, ensuring that current staffing and service levels are maintained at projected 2027 costs. An outcome of these meetings will be the creation of a governing framework containing key themes, goals, and expectations for the 2027 budget and property tax levy. Pending informal consensus of the Council, this framework will be shared with departments to ensure all budget requests conform with Council direction. While further discussions will be required to address the wide spectrum of funds the City maintains, the initial focus of the budget kick-off will be on the 2026 property tax levy, as a preliminary, or maximum levy must be certified to the County Auditor by September 30 in accordance with state statute. He reviewed the summary statements from the small group outcomes and the remaining budget schedule with the council. Mr. Zimmerman discussed how staff wanted to transform the conversation and improve budgeting processes for both staff and the city council. Councilmember Newland indicated he believed the discussion points in the small groups were solid, and he appreciated the long-term forecast that was provided by staff. He explained he supported the path the city was on and appreciated the fact the city was pursuing franchise fees and municipal cannabis. Councilmember Robertson stated she did not have a pleasant small group meeting and did not want to see another double-digit levy increase. She discussed how there has been a division in the council when it comes to the budget as year-end approaches and was hoping this would not happen this year as she wanted to see spending decrease. She anticipated there were homeowners in Blaine that were being impacted by the levy increases and requested staff continue to work to bring the proposed levy down. Page 22 of 194 Councilmember Larson asked how much funding within the 2027 budget would cover expenditures for the 105th redevelopment project. Mr. Zimmerman stated $1.5 million of the 2027 budget was allotted to the 105th redevelopment project. Councilmember Larson discussed how the city had paid $500,000 in 2026 for the new turf fields and has been paying for properties within the 105th redevelopment area over the past several years. She explained it was difficult for her to look at the levy and not acknowledge that the city has been making choices to invest in the 105th redevelopment project. She wanted there to be transparency that the city has been spending taxpayer dollars on this project. She noted she would be firm in not supporting any further expenditures for the 105th redevelopment project. She discussed what services the city should be providing for its residents and feared the city was veering away from its primary focus. She wanted to see the council further questioning the expenses for the 105th redevelopment project especially when it comes to the new parking structure. She stated she was baffled by the fact the parking structure went from $7 million to $15 million and by the fact the council didn't discuss the fact another entity would be located on top of the parking structure. Mayor Sanders reported the developer would be making better use of the space by co- locating another use on top of the parking structure. He explained the city would be growing its commercial district through this development, which would greatly benefit the city's tax base in the long run. He spoke to the reason why the city took a loss on some of the properties within the 105th redevelopment district noting this was due to the fact the properties had dilapidated structures. He understood the city had made initial investments in this project, but noted the city would begin to be paid back over time after the abatements take place. Councilmember Larson expressed concern with the fact the council was not questioning the developer but rather was approving requests for relief without asking really tough questions. Councilmember Robertson stated she did not believe this was a fair assessment. She noted Councilmember Larson has been privy to every conversation she has had regarding this development, which included all the questions she raised about the development. Mayor Sanders indicated he initiated weekly conversations with staff and the development team. Councilmember Larson questioned where the presentation was from staff for the developer's request for $2.75 million in relief. She noted she had not received any information on this. She reported she was against the $15 million that was spent on the parking structure. She expressed concern with the fact the council approved each and every expenditure request for the 105th redevelopment project but then was questioning staff about every expense from a city level. Councilmember Massoglia indicated Councilmember Larson's questions may be better addressed through discussions with staff. He indicated he stood by his statements that were made at the last meeting. He reported the $500,000 that was on the levy was set to be paid back in tax abatement in 2026. Mr. Zimmerman reported this was the case, noting the turf Page 23 of 194 abatement would be paid back through additional tax dollars being captured from the new development. Councilmember Massoglia stated the tax levy has gone up because the city was spending $4 million more per year and noted this was not due to the 105th redevelopment project. He indicated the parking ramp might be the only expense that would have to be paid for by taxpayers. He asked how much of the 2026 levy increase was due to the 105th redevelopment project. Mr. Zimmerman reported for 2026 the city would spend $600,000 on the turf, but noted the city spent $500,000 on turf in 2025. Councilmember Massoglia commented this was only a $100,000 increase from 2025 to 2026. He noted additional spending by the city was what was driving the tax levy up. Councilmember Ford stated when the 105th project was first presented to the council there was excitement and he understood as the development went on things changed. He indicated he was not willing to put money back into the second parking ramp because this did not make financial sense. He commented he originally envisioned the 105th project serving the residents of Blaine, but noted the vision for this area has changed, and the area would now better serve visitors of Blaine. He discussed how the costs for services in the city have gone up because the city was growing. He supported the council providing staff with a roadmap if additional cuts were going to be made to the budget. Mayor Sanders discussed how the redevelopment area would serve Blaine residents, noting there would be baseball games, concerts and events along with new amenities and shopping. He wanted to make sure the bike paths and trails were connected for residents. He stated on event days, the city would be receiving a revenue share for the parking ramp. He agreed this project should move forward with the focus being on residents first, noting this project would offer balance and create a destination for residents living in the north metro. He stated he understood this project had changed, but he was of the opinion the project had changed for the better. He discussed how the market spoke and there was interest from other users to get into this area. He appreciated how the council had worked to turn this dilapidated, old industrial park into a large revenue-generating development for the city. He explained if a project like this was not completed in Blaine, it would not happen in Anoka County. He indicated he was very comfortable with where this development was going because he believed it would be a win for Blaine. He was of the opinion the city's attorney and bond counsel had provided the council with sound advice. Councilmember Robertson asked if there was consensus to direct staff to bring the budget down further. Councilmember Massoglia indicated he would like to see the budget come down further prior to the June budget workshop meeting. He explained he wanted to see spending leveling off. Councilmember Fleming questioned what it would look like to staff to get the levy to 7%. Mr. Zimmerman reported the city would have $400,000 in inflationary increases to the budget, which was approximately 1% of the levy. He noted if the council wanted to see the levy brought in closer to 7%, staff would need to cut $1 million in expenditures. Page 24 of 194 Mr. Thorvig stated staff could commit to lowering the preliminary levy amount prior to the June meeting. Councilmember Larson explained she was not supportive of the 105th project being on the 2027 levy. Councilmember Newland asked where the council and staff would go from here. Mr. Thorvig indicated in the next two months staff would make a concerted effort to look at spending and to see if the 9.7% number could be reduced. Councilmember Larson reiterated that she did not want 105th project expenses on the levy. Mr. Zimmerman stated there was a $1 million expense that was slated for 2027 that could be pushed out to 2030, but the city would then incur additional interest. He explained the council will have to consider how to proceed with this expenditure. He reported staff understood there should be a way to manage costs. Councilmember Massoglia indicated he was not comfortable with additional funding for capital consistent with the CIP. Councilmember Robertson supported staff doing a hard review of the capital expenditures for the coming years. Councilmember Newland explained he did not want to see 105th project expenses on the levy either and stated he believed the levy will level off over time, but noted it would take time for the city to get to this point. Councilmember Ford commented if the recommendations from staff would help the city out financially down the road, he would support the council proceeding in this manner. Councilmember Fleming stated she would like to review the permanent financing for the 105th project further. In addition, she wanted to discuss the strategic use of unrestricted reserves for capital equipment. ## 3.6.2026-84Council Requested Items for Discussion (20 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Erik Thorvig, City Manager Councilmember Newland asked if the council wanted to explore the viability of setting the SBM Fire Department up as its own Fire Taxation District to move SBMFD costs onto a separate property tax line item while simultaneously removing the same costs from Blaine's operating expenses. He explained staff asked the council to assess the positive and negative implications of an SBMFD Fire Taxation District in order to thoroughly understand whether this option strengthens or weakens safety services with the city and how to proceed. He explained per policy, this discussion will be limited to whether or not the council wishes to direct staff to prepare a future workshop agenda item for council discussion. Page 25 of 194 Mayor Sanders asked if there were four councilmembers that wanted to further discuss this topic. Councilmember Massoglia questioned what kind of staff time would be required to investigate this item. Mr. Thorvig indicated this was a new topic and there were legal ramifications that would have to be investigated. Councilmember Newland anticipated this item would not be brought back to the council until this fall. Councilmember Robertson questioned if there was interest from Chief Retka to pursue this option. She indicated she did not support moving this item forward unless Chief Retka supported this matter. She stated she was not interested in mixing politics with public safety in Blaine. Councilmember Larson stated she did not understand why the city would move forward in this manner. Councilmember Robertson explained the proposal would be to have the SBM Fire Department its own taxing district that would show up separately on the service areas tax statements. Councilmember Newland commented these were all questions that could be answered by staff if this item were brought forward at a future workshop meeting. Councilmember Fleming stated she would like to hear from Chief Retka the pros and cons of moving forward with a separate taxing district for the SBM Fire Department. Councilmember Ford indicated he supported taking a look at how the SBM Fire Department operates and if this would be a viable option for the department. He explained he wanted to consider what the best option for Blaine would be going forward. Chief Retka commented he was not supportive of the proposed taxing district. He reported this model was typically more popular in rural areas than in metropolitan areas and did not anticipate Blaine would save any money if this change was made. He agreed that politics would be brought into public safety if the city were to change to this model. He indicated the current model was not broken, and he did not believe operations should change at this time. Councilmember Ford stated there were politics in policing and fire already and he supported the municipality taking a closer look at how the city was spending its money on public safety. He believed the council had a shared responsibility to report to the public how services were being provided. Councilmember Fleming indicated she did not support moving this item forward. Councilmember Newland commented he believed there was still more information that could be gathered for the council to consider regarding this topic and that it was his hope the council would support staff pursuing more information. Page 26 of 194 Councilmember Larson stated the fire department was working really well on behalf of the community and if this was not the case, she would be more inclined to investigate this topic further. She did not support changing the current model for the SBM Fire Department. Councilmember Fleming explained given the feedback provided by the fire chief, she did not believe it would be worth staff's time to investigate this topic further. Councilmember Massoglia stated he appreciated Councilmember Newland's intent, which was to find ways to reduce the overall levy for Blaine taxpayers, but noted he did not support this topic moving forward. Mayor Sanders reported there was not enough support from the council to move this item forward. 4.Other Business None. 5.Adjournment The workshop adjourned at 9:28PM.

She explained Jon Janke, newly appointed District Administrator for Coon Creek Watershed District, would be giving an introduction of the district and then provide information regarding emerging trends and standards in stormwater management. Staff wanted to provide the city council with the most current information as city and district staff work to develop plans, schedules, and budgets to address items related to surface water impairments and flooding. Jon Janke, Coon Creek Watershed District Administrator, introduced himself to the council stating he has been with the watershed district since 2011. He explained he took over the roll of administrator after three years of shadowing the previous administrator. He commented his focus has been on practical partnerships, noting he was working to align the vision and goals of the watershed district with the cities. He reviewed the practical projects the watershed district was addressing, noting surface water and groundwater were a main focus at this time. He described a joint venture project that was recently completed in the Pleasure Creek Parkway area. He commented further on the importance of pet waste stations and street sweeping in order to protect the city's waterways. He thanked the council for their time and indicated he would continue to strive to be a good partner for the city going forward. Councilmember Newland questioned what the total cost was for the Pleasure Creek Parkway filtration system. Mr. Janke reported the total cost for the project was $500,000. Councilmember Newland asked how large of an area was covered by the Coon Creek Watershed District. Mr. Janke indicated the Coon Creek Watershed District covers 107 square miles, which is all of Ham Lake, Coon Rapids, a small portion of Columbus, half of Andover, as well as half of Spring Lake Park and Fridley. 3.2.2026-86Concept Plan for M/I Townhomes - Jefferson Street and 125th Avenue (40 ## Minutes) ## Sponsors: Sheila Sellman, Community Development Director Community Development Director Sellman stated the site received preliminary plat approval from the City in October of 2018 for a HyVee grocery store. In 2022, HyVee announced its adoption of a new long-term growth strategy centered on building larger stores and putting more distance between future retail sites and planned to sell five parcels it had acquired, including the subject parcel in Blaine. M/I Homes has entered into a purchase agreement with HyVee to purchase the 13.04-acre site located at 500 125th Avenue Northeast. The applicant is requesting a concept plan review for a 134-unit townhome development south of 125th Avenue and west of Jefferson Street. The subject property is 13.04 acres and is vacant. The property is zoned Planned Business District (PBD). The property is guided High Density Residential/Planned Commercial (HDR/PC). The parcel is part of a 36-acre mixed-use development that was mass graded for pad sites in 2019. A 184-unit apartment building (Risor) was completed in 2022, and all the remaining land was proposed to be for commercial uses. The properties to the north and west are zoned PBD. The property to the east is Roosevelt Middle School and is zoned R-1 (single family). The property to the south is zoned DF (Development Flex) with single-family homes. The applicant is requesting Page 29 of 194 Development Flex (DF) zoning to allow for flexibility in setbacks and building elevation materials. The concept proposes a 30-foot front yard setback adjacent to Jefferson Street rather than a 50-foot setback as required by the PBD zoning district. The PBD District is intended for commercial, multifamily residential and limited light industrial use, and thus the setbacks and standards may be more appropriate for an apartment-style building. Therefore, the applicant is requesting flexibility given the less intensive multifamily use of townhomes. Stephanie Griffin, representative from M/I Homes, introduced her business and thanked the council for their time. She explained this site was approved as a 36 acre site with a 13 acre portion being identified for Hy-Vee. She commented this property had now been put on the market and M/I Homes was looking at how this mixed use site could develop. She believed her townhome product would be a good fit and aligns with the city's vision for this site. She reported her proposed project would be less intense than the previous request. She further discussed her concept plan and asked if the council would support a rezoning to DF. Mayor Sanders asked for comments from the council surrounding the land use designation. Councilmember Massoglia asked what the typical units per acre was for HDR2. Ms. Sellman reported HDR2 allows for 28 units per acre. Councilmember Massoglia stated he did not believe this was a bad proposal. He believed this project could be a good fit for this property. He indicated the best option for this site would be commercial/planned business, but noted reducing the density for the housing portion could be a good thing for the neighborhood. Councilmember Robertson supported the city getting feedback from the public regarding the development of this property. She explained back in 2017-2018, there was a lot of discussion with the public regarding the Hy-Vee proposal. She indicated she would also like to hear from the school district regarding this proposal. Councilmember Newland inquired if the adjacent property was currently zoned commercial. Ms. Sellman reported this was the case. Councilmember Newland agreed it would benefit the city to gather feedback from adjacent residents regarding this proposal. Ms. Sellman reported a neighborhood meeting would be required if the applicant wanted to move this project forward. Ms. Griffin stated she would be willing to gather feedback if the council supported this project moving forward. Mayor Sanders was of the opinion this was a good project to move this site to MDR from HDR. He spoke to how the proposed project would be much better when it comes to traffic. Councilmember Massoglia asked if the townhomes would be rental or for purchase. Ms. Griffin explained the townhomes would be for purchase. Ms. Griffin requested feedback from the council regarding the elevations and site layout. Page 30 of 194 Mayor Sanders said he was of the opinion the plans were solid but suggested the developer consider planting evergreens on the berm for screening purposes. Council consensus was to generally support MDR and possibly DF with some additions to the elevations. ## 3.3.2026-88Council Subcommittee Updates (15 Minutes) ## Sponsors: Erik Thorvig, City Manager Mr. Thorvig stated annually, there are mayoral appointments to external boards that city council members participate on. In an effort to inform the full council about activity on these boards, the city manager has asked for a brief update of two of these boards from the representative members at the workshop. The city manager envisions this being a quarterly update going forward with updates on different boards at each meeting. The council will hear updates on the following: Councilmember Massoglia provided the council with an update on the North Metro TV Cable Commission's recent strategic planning retreat and commented on how this group was planning for the future. Mr. Thorvig provided the council with an update on the broadband franchising then noted the Twin Cities Gateway update would be shared with the council at a future workshop. 4.Other Business Mayor Sanders commented on the upcoming council agenda then provided the council with an update on the sales tax bill being considered for the 105th redevelopment district. 5.Adjournment The workshop adjourned at 6:36PM.

A public hearing is required prior to the approval for on-sale and Sunday intoxicating liquor application for Bravos Tequila Bar. Jorge Morales and Veronica Navarro, applicants, have submitted the on-sale and Sunday intoxicating liquor application for Bravos Tequila Bar. The applicants have paid the required license fees, submitted forms and documents, and the background investigations were conducted by the Blaine Police Department with no concerns found. The on-sale and Sunday liquor licenses, if approved, would be valid until June 30, 2026, and run concurrent with annual liquor license renewals beginning July 1, 2027. All required information will be submitted to the state's alcohol and gambling enforcement division upon approval of the licenses by the council. Owners of the previous restaurant, Best Taste of Pho Saigon, were able to serve alcohol in the adjacent Vertex Nails as they owned both the restaurant and salon and their licensed premise included both businesses. Because the new applicants only own the restaurant, no alcohol will be allowed in the salon. Staff has communicated this with the applicants and will ensure alcohol service does not occur as part of the Blaine Police Department's required compliance checks.

Historically, the City has elected not to waive the statutory tort limits. ## Background The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) makes it possible for cities to obtain excess coverage without waiving the statutory liability limit of $500,000 per person, $1,500,000 per occurrence. For cities that choose not to waive the statutory limits, the city’s liability is limited by the statute to no more than $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence for tort claims. The LMCIT’s higher coverage limits would only apply to those types of claims that aren’t covered by the statutory limits. Alternately, cities may choose to waive the statutory liability limits. Under this option, higher coverage limits would be available for all claims, including claims that otherwise would have been limited by the statutory liability limits. LMCIT offers excess liability (umbrella coverage) options in the amounts of $1 million to $8 million. To purchase the umbrella coverage under the League Program, city councils must take action to either waive or not waive statutory limits. Staff regularly reviews alternatives with the City Attorney, the City’s risk consultant, and the City's Insurance Agent. Staff believe that the liability limits under M.S. 466.04 should not be waived. If the City does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply (as opposed to being able to recover up to the standard limit of $2 million if the City waived the statutory limits). Also, the total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. As long as Blaine does not waive these limits as staff proposes, these statutory Page 40 of 194 tort limits would apply regardless of the City's election to purchase the optional excess liability coverage. Additionally, this excess liability coverage would provide coverage in the following areas where statutory limits do not apply: • Liability under the federal civil rights act. This includes Section 1983, the American’s with Disabilities Act. • Certain types of liability that the City may assume contractually, which occurs when a member agrees in contract to defend and indemnify a private party. • Liability for actions in another state, i.e., by a city official attending a conference, or under a mutual aid agreement with a political subdivision across state borders. • Liability for zoning action under an inverse condemnation “taking” theory. In a case where the EDA is named a covered party on the City’s insurance, the claimant might be able to get a ruling that the EDA and City are two separate political subdivisions and receive a maximum settlement for both. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision, nor are claims made at the Federal level where Minnesota statutory limits would not otherwise apply. Attached is the LMCIT liability coverage waiver form, which describes the statutory claimant limits and the effect. Once approved, the completed form will be submitted to the LMCIT. ## Strategic Plan Relationship Maintaining proper insurance coverage ensures organizational health and financial sustainability. ## Board/Commission Review ## N/A ## Financial Impact ## N/A ## Public Outreach/Input ## N/A ## Staff Recommendation Staff recommend that the Council, by motion, not waive the statutory tort limits established by Minnesota Statute 466.04. ## Attachment List Page 41 of 194 ## 1. 2026 Liability Coverage Waiver Form Page 42 of 194 ## League of Minnesota Cities 1/1/2026 ## Liability Coverage Waiver Form Page 1 ## LIABILITY COVERAGE WAIVER FORM Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the member’s governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary. The decision has the following effects: •If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the optional LMCIT excess liability coverage. •If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap liability limits are only waived to the extent of the member’s liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of claimants. •If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants. Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

The project was planned for design in the winter of 2025/2026 and construction in 2026. See the attached map for the project location. The existing fuel station was installed in 2008 and the existing fuel island canopy was installed in 2022. The fuel island is a raised concrete island that contains three fuel pumps (two diesel and one gasoline), a vacuum, electronic fuel pump control keypad, movable trash cans and windshield wash station. The refueling lanes on both sides of the fuel island are a mix of concrete and bituminous pavement surfaces. The underground fuel tanks (gasoline and diesel fuel) and associated access covers are located in the two refueling lanes (one in each). The main issues with the fuel station are: 1. The stormwater runoff from the paved parking lot north of the fuel station and the north side fuel canopy roof drains all sheet flows in a southerly direction, directly across the refueling area and through two channels between sections of the raised fuel island. As a result, the refueling lanes are subject to icy conditions during the winter months, creating a slip and fall hazard for employees. Page 44 of 194 2. Pavement failures, cracking and settlements are causing water to be trapped in the fuel station area and water collects inside of the ring frames over the fuel tank fill ports for the underground tanks. This triggers water intrusion alarms and requires water to be pumped out of these tank fill access points periodically. The tanks and fill ports are sealed, so no water gets into the tanks at this point. The City Council awarded a contract with Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) for Professional Engineering Services for design and preparation of plans and specifications on November 3, 2025. SEH prepared plans and specifications which were reviewed by staff and the project was publicly bid. Bids were received electronically at 10:00AM, April 14, 2026, for Project No. 25-01. Three (3) bids were received ranging in the amount of $376,962.00 to $585,128.74. The three lowest bids and engineer’s estimate are as follows: ## Engineer's Estimate $227,550.00 ## Minnesota Petroleum Service, Inc. $376,962.00 ## BCI Construction, Inc. $442,787.93 ## Urban Companies $585,128.74 Bids have been checked and tabulated, and it has been determined that Minnesota Petroleum Service, Inc. of Columbia Heights, Minnesota is the lowest bidder. Staff recommends that the low bid be accepted, and a contract be entered into with Minnesota Petroleum Service, Inc.. City Council is also asked to approve a 10% contingency to bring the total contract budget to $414,658.20. Part of the funding source for this project is listed in the Facilities maintenance portion of the Capital Fund and there is $250,000 identified. Staff is also recommending reallocation of funds from the 2026 CIP which were previously approved for the sidewalk snow machine to be transferred to the facilities capital improvement fund to close the financial gap on the fuel island project. Temporary fueling will be provided on-site during the project timeframe. Below is a breakdown of the total project costs: • SEH design contract encumbrance $79,709 (will have a remainder of around $7,000 left) • SEH construction services contract (est) $34,000 Total Amount $106,709 (using the $7k left on the design contract to apply to the construction contract) • Midwest Petroleum const. contract $376,962 • 10% Contingency $37,696 ## Total Amount $414,658 • Construction materials testing (est) $5,000 • Advertisement for bids $341 ## Total Amount $5,341 Page 45 of 194 So the grand total we need is estimated to be $533,708. ## Strategic Plan Relationship This project aligns with the City’s strategic plan goal of infrastructure management by providing well- maintained infrastructure. ## Board/Commission Review ## N/A ## Financial Impact This project was previously authorized as part of the 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which was adopted via resolution 24-230 on December 16, 2024. The approved 2025 budget includes a $250,000 appropriation for the fuel island reconstruction. With the current project estimate at $533,708 staff is recommending the reallocation of $240,000 from the 2026 CIP, which was previously approved for a light-duty sidewalk machine, to be transferred from the Capital Equipment & Project Funds to the Facilities Capital Improvement Fund to assist in closing the financial gap for the fuel island reconstruction. The remaining $43,708 in project costs are proposed to be provided through the existing Facilities Capital Improvement Fund Balance. However, since current CIP projections show the fund's balance dropping below $30,000 by year-end 2029, future adjustments, including identifying additional funding or project deferrals, will be necessary to maintain its solvency. To date, $79,709.00 has been encumbered. ## 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan ## Project Name Funding Source Project ## Number ## 2025 CIP ## Approved ## Public Works Fuel Station ## Reconstruction ## Facilities Capital Fund F2501 $250,000 ## Reallocated 2026 CIP Funds — ## Light Duty Sidewalk Machine With V ## Plow and Blower ## Capital Equipment & ## Projects Fund ## E2619 $240,000 Page 46 of 194 ## Public Outreach/Input ## N/A ## Staff Recommendation By motion, adopt the resolution. ## Attachment List ## 1.

Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission (MASC) (Case File No. 26-0019/SAS) ## Executive Summary The applicant is requesting final plat approval to create four lots and seven outlots as part of the 105th Redevelopment Project. ## Background ## Planning Commission Public Hearing July 9, 2024 ## City Council (Preliminary Plat) July 15, 2024 ## City Council (Final Plat) May 4, 2026 ## Action Deadline June 19, 2026 Staff report prepared by Sheila Sellman, Community Development Director, and Teresa Barnes, Project ## Engineer The final plat is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, Resolution No. 24-140. ## Evaluation of Request ## Planning Analysis ## Zoning The subject site is zoned 105th Avenue Redevelopment District. ## Land Use Designation The subject site is guided Planned Commercial. ## Surrounding Zoning and Uses Page 51 of 194 Properties to the east are zoned Heavy Industrial (I-2) and are developed with various industrial uses. A portion of the properties to the east are zoned 105th Avenue Redevelopment District (RD) and are part of the redevelopment project. Properties to the west are zoned Regional Recreation (RR) and are developed with parking lots or soccer fields. The north is zoned RD. ## Existing Conditions The subject site is open space with some ponding. Utility work is underway. ## Plat The 105th Avenue Redevelopment District does not have minimum lot size requirements and allows for zero lot lines. The majority of the outlots are for stormwater and open/green space. The lot breakdown is as follows: Lot 1: 5.72 acres Lot 2: 2.98 acres Lot 3: 2.46 acres Lot 1 Block 2 0.90 acres (should this be Block 2?) Outlot A: 0.96 acres Outlot B: 0.54 acres Outlot C: 0.18 acres Outlot D: 0.35 acres Outlot E: 2.94 acres Outlot F: 1.79 acres Outlot G: 6.11 acres ## Setbacks A consistent street edge must be maintained at the right-of-way line along all street frontages. Street edge elements may consist of the principal building, landscaping, outdoor seating, or a combination of these elements. Exceptions may include: property is adjacent to a water feature, surface parking or other instances the city council deems appropriate. No development is proposed with this plat. ## Landscaping No development is being proposed with the plat, landscaping will be reviewed with development. ## Park Dedication Park dedication is due for the four commercial lots at the commercial rate of $8,650/acre if paid in 2026. Park dedication is due at the time of building permit. ## Grading/Storm Drainage No development is being proposed with the plat, grading and storm water drainage will be reviewed with development. ## Utilities No development is being proposed with the plat, utilities will be reviewed with development. The developer will be responsible to extend the required sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer to adequately serve the development. The extension of utilities, sizing, looping, and location will need to Page 52 of 194 follow city standards and specifications. ## Wetlands/Watershed No development is being proposed with the plat. A Coon Creek Watershed District permit will be required to be received by the City prior to development. ## Access/Street Design/Sidewalks While no development is being proposed, the proposed Lot 1, 2 and 3 Block 1, and Lot 1 Block 2, will obtain access from existing platted roadway outlot or through recorded cross-access easement agreements. Sidewalks and trails are required to be constructed on at least one side of all streets. The goal will be to create a network that ties into the existing walks/trails and the locations will be determined in the plan review process. Sidewalks and trails are required to be constructed in accordance with current city standards. A geotechnical report is required that will recommend the different typical walk/trail sections based on the existing soils. As part of the street design, the development will be required to provide streetlights installed in the manner, location and type prescribed by the City Engineer. The developer shall pay the costs of all the street lighting installations. Any lighting above the typical street lighting will be the responsibility of the developer to install and maintain. ## Easements/Right-of-way/Permits The developer will need to obtain all required permits to construct the proposed project. A copy of all permits will need to be submitted to the City prior to any site work. A drainage and utility easement will be required to be platted between Lot 1 Block 1, and Lot 2 Block 2, to account for the proposed stormwater system along the lot line. Drainage and utility easements will be required to be platted over all proposed storm water areas. Standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated along all lot lines and over areas of delineated wetlands, wetland mitigation, infiltration trenches, drainage swales, and storm water management features. The developer will need to dedicate the appropriate right-of-way for any proposed public street and easements or outlots that contain any private streets or private alleys. ## Strategic Plan Relationship Not applicable. ## Board/Commission Review The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat. The Planning Commission does not review final plats. Page 53 of 194 ## Financial Impact Not applicable. ## Public Outreach/Input Notifications are not required for final plats. ## Staff Recommendation By motion, adopt the resolution. ## Attachment List ## 1.

Residents requested speed humps be installed, as part of the upcoming reconstruction project, along this corridor to help reduce speeds. Staff informed the residents that they would need to petition for the installation of speed humps. Per the City of Blaine Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, any proposed traffic management strategy will not be considered for implementation without the support of 65% of the project neighborhood and 50% of any affected neighborhood. Staff worked with residents to prepare a petition for speed humps which included proposed locations for the speed humps along Quincy Boulevard and a map of affected properties that would be considered as eligible to sign the petition. A petition was received with signatures from residents fronting Quincy Boulevard from Territorial Road to 109th Avenue and 105th Lane from Quincy Boulevard to east cul-de-sac. Petition signatures were provided from 76% of the project neighborhood homes fronting Quincy Boulevard (46 out of 60) and 69% of the affected neighborhood homes fronting 105th Lane (9 out of 13), meeting the requirements set forth in the City of Blaine Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Staff has reviewed the Page 101 of 194 petition and will adjust the exact locations of the speed humps as necessary to fit within the constraints present on the roadway such as storm sewer catch basins, sewer manholes and driveways. Per the City of Blaine Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, the cost for the installation of speed humps would be split between the project neighborhood (75% of the cost) and the City of Blaine (25% of the cost). A total of six speed humps are proposed along Quincy Boulevard between Territorial Road and 109th Avenue. Staff estimates a construction cost of $5,000 per speed hump, which would be assessed to residents fronting Quincy Boulevard as part of the 2026 Quincy Area Street Reconstruction project per the City of Blaine Neighborhood Traffic Management Program. Costs will be based on actual bid costs and may be higher than estimated. Staff is recommending construction costs associated with the installation of the speed humps be assessed to the benefiting properties on Quincy Boulevard over a period of one year following the completion of the project. ## Strategic Plan Relationship The project aligns with the City's strategic initiatives for Growth Management and providing a well maintained infrastructure by providing high-quality street surfaces. ## Board/Commission Review Not applicable. ## Financial Impact The project will be funded by a combination of assessments and bond proceeds placed in the City Pavement Management Program Fund and Public Utility Funds. This project was previously identified in the 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as "2026 Quincy Street Area Street Reconstructions", which was adopted via resolution 24-230 on December 16, 2024, and included a 2025 project budget of $980,000 for pre-construction consulting services. The 2026-2030 CIP was adopted on December 15, 2025, via resolution 25-191, and appropriated an additional $3,190,500 and includes consulting (design, etc.)., construction, and contingency, bringing the total project budget to $4,170,500. To date, $408,474 has been encumbered. With estimated improvement costs of $4,710,940, future adjustments may be needed in 2026 since the estimated amount is higher than budgeted. Typically, no budget amendments are presented until construction bids are opened and awarded by the City Council. ## Funding Source 2025 Adopted ## Budget 2026 Adopted ## Budget ## Total ## Adopted ## Budget ## Levy Supported Bonds $980,000 $1,936,000 $2,916,000 ## Special Assessment Bonds - $670,000 $670,000 ## Water Utility Funds - $500,000 $500,000 ## Sewer Utility Funds - $84,500 $84,500 Page 102 of 194 ## TOTAL $980,000 $3,190,500 $4,170,500 ## Public Outreach/Input The project is being conducted pursuant to MN Statutes, Chapter 429 and is compliant with all public notification requirements thereof. ## Staff Recommendation By motion, adopt the resolution. ## Attachment List ## 1. 26-04 Project Location Map ## 2. 26-04 Proposed Speed Hump Location Map ## 3.

James and Robin Obraske (Case File No. 26-0010/ACK) ## Executive Summary Preliminary plat request to subdivide .69 acres into two lots ## Background ## Planning Commission Public Hearing April 14, 2026 ## City Council (Preliminary Plat) May 4, 2026 ## City Council (Final Plat) TBD ## Action Deadline May 16, 2026 Staff report prepared by Alex Koberoski, Assistant Planner, and Teresa Barnes, Project Engineer ## Preliminary Plat Standards of Review The planning commission shall make a recommendation on the preliminary plat considering conformance with the city's comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, this chapter and all chapters of this code. ## Evaluation of Request ## Planning Analysis ## Current Zoning The property is currently zoned Single Family Residential (R-1), and this district is intended for single family units in developing areas of the city with access to sewer and water. ## Surrounding Zoning and Uses Page 121 of 194 Surrounding properties are all zoned R-1 and consist of single family homes. The airport is located west of the property. ## Land Use Designation The property is guided Low Density Residential (LDR), which requires a minimum of 2.5 units per acre. The proposed plat has a net density of 2.89 units per acre. ## Existing Conditions The property is currently a vacant outlot with trees. ## History There are no previous approvals recorded for the property. When 93rd Avenue was originally constructed, a row of outlots were created. These outlots were expected to be platted and combined with properties to the south. ## Plat The applicant proposes to subdivide Outlot A into a platted lot and block, and to combine it with a portion of the adjacent southern parcel in order to meet the minimum R-1 lot size requirements, including the 125-foot depth and 10,000 square foot minimum area. The proposed subdivision meets all R-1 zoning standards. The resulting north lot will be approximately 15,161 square feet, and the south lot will be approximately 14,733 square feet. A site plan has been provided showing an approximate 50- by-50-foot building pad that meets all required R-1 setbacks. ## Tree Preservation The location and size of the 50-by-50-foot building pad indicates that up to six trees may be removed from the property. Of these, three qualify as “significant trees” under the City’s definition, which includes any healthy, living tree with a diameter of at least 8 inches measured at 4.5 feet above ground level. Two significant trees are allowed to be removed from residential properties each year without requiring replacement. The proposed location and size of the building pad as shown on the preliminary plat would result in the replacement of one tree on the property. These plans are subject to change, and any tree removal will be reviewed as part of the building permit for conformance with tree preservation and replacement requirements as stated in Section 129-9. Park dedication is due for one residential unit. Park dedication will be charged at the rate in effect at the time of payment. The 2026 rate is $5,800 per unit for residential lots. ## Engineering Analysis ## Grading/Storm Drainage The proposed plat will require some minor grading of the lot prior to house construction. A Certificate of Survey will be required to be provided to obtain a building permit for the house construction. The Certificate of Survey shall include items including, but not limited to, elevation at all property corners, low floor elevation, low opening elevation, top of foundation elevation, adjacent grade elevations, grade 10-ft from the structure, garage floor elevations and proposed driveway location and slope. Page 122 of 194 As-built surveys shall be required to verify structure elevations, custom grading requirements, and final lot grading elevations. ## Utilities The property was subject to a deferred utility assessment charge of $25,100.30 (2026 rate). As of April 1, 2026, this has been paid in full. There are existing water and sanitary sewer service laterals stubbed to the front of the property; these will be required to be connected to. Standard water and sanitary sewer access charges (WAC & SAC) become due with each building permit at the rate established at the time the building permit is issued. ## Wetlands/Watershed/FEMA There are no known wetland or flood plain areas on the property. The property owner will need to submit the project to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to determine if a permit is required. Review, approval and permits are required prior to city plan approval and start of site work. ## Access/Street Design/Sidewalks/Trails The lot is within an existing residential area. The house will construct a standard driveway access that connects to the public street. No additional street design, sidewalk or trail installation will be required. ## Easements/Right-of-way/Permits The property owner will need to obtain all required permits to construct the proposed project. A copy of all permits will need to be submitted to the City prior to any site work. Standard drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated along all lot lines and over areas of delineated wetlands, wetland mitigation, infiltration trenches, drainage swales, and storm water management ponds. ## Attachment List ## Zoning and Location Map ## Narrative ## Preliminary Plat ## Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes April 14, 2026 ## Strategic Plan Relationship Not applicable. ## Board/Commission Review The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the preliminary plat.

CAVA (Case File No. 26-0011/SLK) ## Executive Summary CAVA, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, is proposing to be located in Blaine Square 3rd development in an existing multi-tenant building (Noodles and Company is currently in the other half of the building). They are requesting a conditional use permit to allow 10 seats for outdoor dining on a patio adjacent to their building. ## Background ## Planning Commission Public Hearing April 14, 2026 ## City Council (Conditional Use Permit) May 4, 2026 ## Action Deadline May 16, 2026 Staff report prepared by Shawn Kaye, Planner, and Teresa Barnes, Project Engineer ## Evaluation of Request ## Planning Analysis ## Zoning The property is zoned Regional Commercial (B-3). ## Land Use Designation The property has a land use designation of Community Commercial (CC) which is used for the provision of goods and services. ## Surrounding Zoning and Uses The properties to the north and south are zoned B-3 and have a land use of CC. A Noodles and Page 132 of 194 Company restaurant is located to the north and Chick-fil-A is located to the south. The townhomes west of Ulysses Street are zoned Development Flex (DF) and have a land use of Medium Density Residential (MDR). State Highway 65 is adjacent to the east. ## Existing Conditions The property has a two-tenant building and a freestanding dental building. ## History This parcel received a CUP for two buildings on one lot and shared access/parking on July 6, 2022. ## Site Plan CAVA is proposing an outdoor dining area located on the southwest corner of the building. It consists of three tables and 10 seats as shown on the attached drawing. The outdoor dining area will have a decorative and maintenance-free fence surrounding three sides of the seating area. The outdoor dining area will be subject to Sewer Access Charges (SAC). The applicant must work with the City’s chief building official and Met Council to determine the amount required for this use. All other requirements listed in the attached conditions are the standard conditions that the City applies to other outdoor dining conditional use permits. ## Landscaping The submitted landscape plan for the construction of the building meets zoning ordinance requirements. ## Engineering Analysis ## Grading/Storm Drainage This development is already constructed and the grading and storm drainage were accounted for at the time of development. The addition of the outdoor seating area will not require additional grading or storm water requirements. ## Wetlands/Watershed This development is already constructed. There are no wetlands on this property and the watershed requirements were accounted for at the time of development. The addition of the outdoor seating area will not require additional watershed review or requirements. ## Access/Street Design/Sidewalks/Trails This development is already constructed and no additional access or street design required. The addition of the outdoor seating area will not require additional sidewalks or trails to be constructed. Consideration should be given to the placement of the tables to ensure that a safe sight-distance is provided for vehicles pulling out of the drive-thru lanes. ## Easements/Right-of-way/Permits This development is already constructed. The addition of the outdoor seating area will not require additional easements or right-of-way. ## Conditional Use Permit A city exercises “quasi-judicial” authority when considering a CUP application. This means the city’s role Page 133 of 194 is limited to applying the standards in the ordinance to the facts presented by the application. The city acts like a judge in evaluating the facts against the standards. Section 101-4 Criteria for granting conditional use permits: The Blaine City Council shall consider the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the comprehensive plan and upon the health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. Among other things, the Council shall consider the following findings where applicable. (Ord. No. 20-2447, 7-20-2020) 1. The use shall not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. o An outdoor dining area, including 10 seats, does not create an excessive burden. 2. The use will be located, designed, maintained, and operated to be compatible with adjoining properties and the existing or intended character of the zoning district. (Ord. No. 20-2447, 7-20- 2020) o The B-3 district is intended to provide retailing and services of both a convenience and durable nature for shoppers, such as apparel, furniture, food, banking and financial services for a regional trade area. The use meets this intent. 3. The use shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent properties. o The existing building and outdoor dining will meet all setbacks and landscape requirements.

The project involves the fit-out of approximately 2,932 square feet of existing tenant space, converting it into a new CAVA restaurant operating as an A-2 assembly occupancy. The project is designed by Chipman Design Architecture, Inc., and is subject to the 2020 Minnesota Building Code and all applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, energy, and accessibility codes. ## Interior Scope of Work The interior build-out includes a new front-of-house dining area, service line and queue, front and back kitchen areas with walk-in cooler, beverage station, restrooms, storage, and office space. Interior improvements include new partition walls, storefront doors, finishes, millwork, fixtures, furniture, equipment, and all associated MEP systems. ## Outdoor Dining Patio – Conditional Use Permit Scope The Conditional Use Permit is specifically required to authorize the activation of an outdoor dining patio along the front exterior of the tenant space. The patio is an existing hardscaped area that will be improved with the following elements: Outdoor Dining Furniture: New weather-resistant tables and chairs will be installed to accommodate approximately 10 outdoor seats, including at least 1 ADA-accessible seat, consistent with applicable accessibility requirements. New Perimeter Railing: A new perimeter railing system will be installed to define the dining space and provide a physical boundary between the seating area and adjacent parking and drive aisle circulation. New Bollards: New bollards will be installed along the patio perimeter to provide a protective barrier between outdoor dining patrons and vehicular traffic, particularly given the proximity of an adjacent drive-thru circulation lane. Bollards will be painted black per project specifications. Page 140 of 194 Patio Landing & Concrete Work: A new frost-resistant concrete door landing will be constructed at the entrance connecting the interior to the outdoor patio, ensuring a safe and accessible transition between the two spaces. ## Summary CAVA's proposed outdoor dining patio improvements are modest in scale and appropriately designed for the site context. The combination of new dining furniture, a perimeter railing, and protective bollards will create a defined, safe, and inviting outdoor dining environment that complements the interior restaurant operations and is consistent with the City of Blaine's standards for outdoor dining.

Dart Portable Storage (Case File No. 26-0013/SLK) ## Executive Summary The applicant is requesting to store portable containers outside in an I-2A zoning district. ## Background ## Planning Commission Public Hearing April 14, 2026 ## City Council (Conditional Use Permit) May 4, 2026 ## Action Deadline May 16, 2026 Staff report prepared by Shawn Kaye, Planner, and Teresa Barnes, Project Engineer. ## Evaluation of Request ## Planning Analysis ## Zoning The subject site is zoned Heavy Industrial (I-2A). The I-2A district is intended to allow heavy industrial uses ranging from small to large scale industry and related services, including outdoor uses, storage and trucking oriented businesses. ## Surrounding Zoning and Uses The properties to the west, east, and south are zoned Heavy Industrial (I-2A) and the property to the north is zoned Light Industrial (I-1). ## Existing Conditions The subject parcel has an existing truck terminal building and accessory maintenance and storage Page 144 of 194 building. The truck terminal use plans to continue to operate. The parking lot and driveway are paved. ## History In 1986, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) was approved to allow a transportation/truck terminal. ## Site Plan The applicant is proposing to store portable storage containers in the side and rear of their site. The proposed outside storage would include portable storage containers that would be stacked two high. The storage containers are 8 feet 6 inches high, therefore, the total height of the stacked containers would be 17 feet in height. The proposed outside storage area will be approximately 1.68 acres on the north and west sides of the site. The outside storage will meet the required I-2A side yard parking setback of 10 feet on the north and west sides of the site. The outside storage will be located behind the front face of the existing truck terminal building, therefore, the outside storage will be well beyond the 1-2A front yard building with a setback close to 130 feet. The storage containers are required to be stored on a hard surface (asphalt or concrete). ## Setbacks Front Building Setback - 40 feet Rear Parking Setback - 10 feet Side Parking Setback - 10 feet All setbacks are met for proposed outside storage. ## Parking The office and warehouse use on site requires 30 parking stalls. The site has adequate parking on site. ## Landscaping The applicant is proposing to add four trees to the front of the site. The existing landscaping on site will remain. ## Engineering Analysis ## Grading/Storm Drainage The proposed project does not include any alterations to the existing grading or storm water drainage patterns on the property. ## Utilities The proposed development will utilize the existing utilities into the building. No new connections are proposed. ## Wetlands/Watershed/FEMA There is a small amount of flood plain along the south property line, however, the addition of the Page 145 of 194 storage area is not proposed for this area. A Rice Creek Watershed District review is not required. ## Access/Street Design/Sidewalks/Trails The development will utilize the existing access points to the existing parking area. No new access point will be granted. No additional street design, sidewalks or trails will be required. ## Easements/Right-of-way/Permits The developer will need to obtain any and all required permits to construct the proposed project. A copy of all permits will need to be submitted to the City prior to any site work. ## Conditional Use Permit A city exercises “quasi-judicial” authority when considering a CUP application. This means the city’s role is limited to applying the standards in the ordinance to the facts presented by the application. The city acts like a judge in evaluating the facts against the standards. Section 101-4 Criteria for granting conditional use permits: The Blaine City Council shall consider the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the comprehensive plan and upon the health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.

The JPA details the means and methods where Blaine would provide bulk water to Lexington. ## Background On December 8, 2025 a workshop discussion was held where staff presented an update on discussions with City of Lexington staff and the creation of a Joint Powers Agreement where Blaine would supply bulk water to Lexington through the fifteen existing interconnection points. Staff has been working with Lexington staff and both city's attorneys to complete a JPA based on the parameters discussed and directions given by Council at the December workshop. The key components of the JPA are as follows: • Lexington will be able to purchase up to 68,000,000 gallons of bulk water yearly from Blaine at an annually adjusted rate of 101% of Blaine's lowest residential tier water rate and will pay a 2% administrative fee based on the water purchased. • Lexington will be responsible for metering all water used within the City of Lexington by utilizing the existing individual service meters present on each water service connection and report the bulk usage to and pay Blaine quarterly. Blaine has the right to obtain and audit all water meter usage data at any time. • Lexington will be responsible for billing its individual users and addressing any complaints or concerns of those users. Page 167 of 194 • Blaine would have no ownership of the City of Lexington water infrastructure system nor are any capital upgrades required to the City of Blaine's system under this JPA. • The JPA details that Blaine has exclusive ownership of the 16-inch trunk water main located within the City of Lexington that generally runs along Hamline Avenue from Edgewood Road to Flowerfield Avenue. • Lexington will no longer use its municipal well to pump water into the conjoined water systems. Public works water department staff has confirmed that the proposed JPA and maximum amount of yearly bulk water Lexington is allowed to purchase will not put an undue strain on the Blaine water system and will not result in the need for Blaine to upgrade its water distribution system to supply the demand from Lexington. ## Strategic Plan Relationship The project aligns with the City’s strategic initiatives for Growth Management and providing a Well- maintained Infrastructure. ## Board/Commission Review This item has not been reviewed by any boards or commissions. ## Financial Impact There are no direct costs for Blaine if this JPA is approved. Blaine will receive revenues from Lexington based upon Lexington's bulk water usage. In 2025, Lexington billed its customers for approximately 61,000,000 gallons of water. The JPA sets a rate of $3.86/1,000 gallons for 2026. This would equate to revenues of approximately $235,000 from Lexington if water usage in 2026 is similar to the reported 2025 usage. ## Public Outreach/Input ## N/A ## Staff Recommendation Approve the following resolution. ## Attachment List ## 1. JPA Blaine and Lexington Water Utility Systems - Final Page 168 of 194 ## City of Blaine ## Signature Copy ## Resolution: RES 26-89 Resolution to Approve Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Lexington Relating to the ## Connection of Water Utility Systems WHEREAS, the City of Blaine, and the City of Lexington desire to jointly enter into a cooperative service agreement relating to the connection of their respective water utility systems.; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes section 471.59 authorizes political subdivisions of the State of Minnesota to enter into joint powers agreements for the joint exercise of powers common to each; and WHEREAS, said Agreement details the costs and responsibilities of the City of Blaine and the City of Lexington as to the operation of the interconnected water utility systems, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Blaine as follows: 1. The Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Blaine and the City of Lexington relating to the connection of water utility systems is hereby approved. 2. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to execute said agreement and any amendments, and thereby assume for and on behalf of the City of Blaine all the contractual obligations contained therein. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Blaine this 4th day of May 2026. Page 169 of 194 -1- ## JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT ## BY AND BETWEEN ## THE CITY OF LEXINGTON AND THE CITY OF BLAINE ## RELATING TO THE CONNECTION OF WATER UTILITY SYSTEMS This Joint Powers Agreement (the “Agreement”) made and entered into this ____ day of _______, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) by and between the City of Lexington, a Minnesota municipal corporation, (“Lexington”) and the City of Blaine, a Minnesota municipal corporation (“Blaine”); (individually the “party and collectively the “parties”). Based on the representations, covenants and provisions hereafter contained, the parties do hereby agree as follows: ## ARTICLE 1 ## RECITALS 1.1 Status of Parties. Lexington and Blaine are municipal corporations under the laws of the State of Minnesota. The cities adjoin each other generally along the north, south and west borders of Lexington. 1.2 Cooperative Agreement. Minnesota Statutes, Section 471.59, as amended (the “Joint Powers Act”), authorizes two or more governmental units, by agreement of their respective governing bodies, to jointly and cooperatively exercise any power common to the contracting parties or any similar powers, including those which are the same except for the territorial limits within which they are exercised. Here, both the City of Lexington and the City of Blaine have the powers identified in this Agreement. Lexington and Blaine have chosen to enter into this cooperative service agreement, providing for the joint exercise of powers to provide water services as described in greater detail below. 1.3 Lexington and Blaine – Water Utility Systems. Lexington and Blaine seek to resolve their mutual disputes regarding Water Utility Systems as between them. Per the decision of the Honorable Jenny Walker Jasper, Judge of District Court, Anoka County, Tenth Judicial Court, Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order for Judgment, dated June 4, 2025 (Court File No. 02-CV-22-4769), among other legal rights set forth in the decision, Blaine has the right to separate, meter, and close the interconnection points between its Water Utility System and the Lexington Water Utility System. Lexington and Blaine seek to cooperate as neighboring cities and have determined that properties located within the City of Lexington would be more efficiently served by water produced and supplied by Blaine through the existing interconnection points. Lexington agrees and represents that water rates set as set forth below are reasonable and appropriate, noting that they are based on water rates charged to Blaine residents and that lower water rates would be unfair to Blaine and its residents resulting in those residents subsidizing Lexington and Lexington residents. 1.4 Public Relations and Communications. Both parties agree to communicate professionally and respectfully to the public regarding this Agreement and their respective duties and responsibilities respecting the Agreement. As for the prior litigation between them, both Page 170 of 194 -2- parties agree that the respectful and appropriate response is that the district court has decided and each city undertook the responsible action for its residents in agreeing to a Joint Powers Agreement. 1.5 Payment for Water Usage Pre-JPA. Lexington and Blaine have agreed on an amount due for Lexington’s past water usage in 2025 prior to the adoption of this JPA. The amount of water provided by Blaine to Lexington in 2025 will be calculated by taking the total amount of metered water usage by Lexington, based upon meter readings, minus the total amount of water pumped by Lexington’s Well 15, based upon the well meter reading. This sum will be considered the amount of water provided by Blaine. The agreed amount due will be based upon 75% of the amount of water provided by Blaine billed at a rate of $3.24 per 1,000 gallons. Upon adoption of the JPA by both parties, Blaine will invoice Lexington for the water usage amount due and Lexington shall pay the invoiced amount within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Both parties agree that such payment and receipt of payment without limitation is in complete satisfaction of Lexington’s past 2025 water usage payment obligation to Blaine. Lexington appreciates that Blaine waived any claim for interest, late fees, or any other costs or expenses. For all water usage between January 1, 2026 and the adoption of the JPA, Lexington agrees to pay 101% of the total amount of metered water usage by Lexington, per the terms set forth in Section 8.2. 1.6 Agreement and Amendments. Upon execution, this Joint Powers Agreement shall supersede and replace all existing municipal drinking water service agreements between Lexington and Blaine and all prior agreements shall be of no further force or effect. ## ARTICLE 2 ## DEFINITIONS Resident. Any property owner, resident or tenant of a residential dwelling, business or other building served by a Water Utility System. Water Utility System.

Such infrastructure includes, but is not limited to, water mains, valves, hydrants, water treatment plants, well houses, wells, pumps, water towers, storage reservoirs, and SCADA systems. ## ARTICLE 3 ## TERM AND TERMINATION 3.1 Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until December 31, 2031, upon which time the agreement will be terminated unless both parties agree, via resolutions passed by both City Councils, to renew this Agreement, including any amendments agreed to thereof. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time by delivering written notice of termination at least eighteen (18) months in advance of the termination date set forth in the written termination notice. Page 171 of 194 -3- 3.2 Biannual Review. The terms and conditions for this Agreement shall be subject to periodic review by the parties, at intervals of no less that twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date.

Leaks found as a result of the survey shall be repaired within 30 calendar days. ii. Emergency Water Leaks or Breaks. As long as water main leaks or breaks are repaired, controlled or mitigated and scheduled for repair within 24 hours from knowledge of or notification of the leak or break, Blaine will not charge Lexington for water usage due to the leak or break. Repairs shall be completed to AWWA standards. h. Water Usage Maximum and Limitations. The maximum water supply volume furnished in a calendar year by Blaine cannot and shall not exceed 68,000,000 (sixty-eight million) gallons unless otherwise agreed by Blaine staff in writing or email for the reasons stated in this paragraph.

For 2026, this rate is $3.86 per 1,000 gallons.

Lexington’s billing of its Residents shall cover the base rate set by Blaine. c. Water Usage and Payment. Lexington shall report total water usage and issue payment concurrently to Blaine on the following schedule: by April 30 (1/1 to 3/31 water usage); by July 31 (4/1 to 6/30 water usage); by October 31 (7/1 to 9/30 water usage); and by January 31, (10/1 to 12/31 water usage, previous year). d. Invoicing and Payment. Blaine will invoice Lexington quarterly based on the reported total water usage, plus a two percent (2%) administration fee. Lexington shall pay the Page 176 of 194 -8- invoice in full within thirty-five (35) days from the date of the invoice. As permitted under Minnesota Statutes Section 471.425 (Prompt Payment of Local Government Bills, for each and every past due invoice, interest shall be applied, effective the date of the invoice, at the rate of 1-1/2 percent per month or part of a month, compounded monthly, until paid in full. 8.3 No Subsidy.

All payments to be made under this Agreement between Lexington and Blaine unless otherwise specified shall be billed quarterly and paid within thirty-five (35) days after the bill date. If either party disputes the amount or propriety of any charges, then the disputing party shall pay all charges, which are not in dispute, in full and shall fully describe the nature of the dispute with respect to the balance of the charge. ## ARTICLE 9 ## EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 9.1 Events of Default. a.

Failure of Lexington to pay any monetary obligation required by this Agreement. b. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default occurs, unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or there is an emergency or in the reasonable judgment of Blaine immediate action or action less than 30 days is required, then Blaine shall provide a written notice of default to Lexington and in the event Lexington fails to cure within thirty (30) days of said notice of default then Blaine may undertake any one or more of the following: 1. Blaine may suspend its performance under this Agreement until it receives assurances from the Lexington, deemed adequate by Blaine in its sole discretion, that Lexington will cure its default and continue its performance under the Development Agreement. Suspension of performance includes the right to reduce the supply of, or totally cease supplying, water to Lexington. Except if an emergency requires such immediate action, subject to a 60-day written notification, Blaine may close, sever, or disconnect the interconnects. Page 177 of 194 -9- 2. Blaine may initiate such action, including legal, equitable or administrative action, as is necessary for Blaine to secure performance of any provision of this Agreement or recover any amounts due under this Agreement from Lexington. c. Enforcement by Blaine. Lexington acknowledges the right of Blaine to enforce the terms of this Agreement against Lexington, by action for specific performance or damages, or both, and by any other legally authorized means. Lexington also acknowledges that its failure to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement may result in substantial damages to the Blaine; that in the event of default by Lexington that remains uncured after lapse of any cure period, if applicable, given to Lexington in the notice of default to cure a default and the time frames set forth in this Agreement to cure a default, Blaine may commence legal action to recover all damages, losses and expenses sustained by Blaine; and that such expenses may include, but are not limited to Blaine’s staff time and expense as well as the reasonable fees of legal counsel employed with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement. d. No Remedies Exclusive. No remedy in this Agreement conferred upon or reserved to Blaine is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. e. No Additional Implied Waiver. In the event any provision contained in this Agreement is breached by any party and thereafter waived in writing by any other party, such waiver shall be limited to the expressed breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other concurrent, previous or subsequent breach hereunder. ## ARTICLE 10 ## INDEMNIFICATION; TORT CAP LIMITATIONS; IMMUNITY; AND INSURANCE 10.1 Indemnification. Each party to this Agreement shall be liable for its own acts and its officers, employees, or agents and the results thereof to the extent authorized by law and shall not be responsible for the acts of any other party, its officers, employees or agents. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any other party, its officers and employees against any and all liability, loss, costs, damages, expenses, claims, or actions, including attorney’s fees that any other party, its officers and employees may hereafter sustain, incur or be required to pay, arising out of or by reason of any act or omission of the party, its agents, servants or employees, in the execution, performance, or failure to adequately perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. 10.2 No Waiver of Governmental Immunity or Limitations on Liability Protections. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair either city’s immunity or the immunity of either city’s employees, consultants and contractors, whether on account of official immunity, Page 178 of 194 -10- legislative immunity, statutory immunity, discretionary immunity or otherwise. Under no circumstances, however, shall a party be required to pay on behalf of itself and the other party any amounts in excess of the limits on liability established in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466 applicable to any one party. The limits of liability for both parties may not be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for either party. The intent of this paragraph is to impose on each party a limited duty to defend and indemnify each other subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466. The purpose of creating this duty to defend and indemnify is to simplify the defense of claims by eliminating conflicts among the parties and to permit liability claims against both parties from a single occurrence to be defended by a single attorney. By entering into this Agreement, neither city waives any rights, protections, or limitations as provided under law and equity or of their respective employees, consultants and contractors. 10.3 No Third-Party Benefit. Other then as explicitly stated in this Agreement, the obligations, covenants, representations, and agreements of hereunder are for the exclusive benefit of the City of Lexington and the City of Blaine and shall not be construed to create rights or convey benefits to any party or other third party not a party to this Agreement. 10.4 Insurance. Each party agrees to maintain insurance in an amount consistent with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466. Each party will maintain workers’ compensation insurance or self-insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are providing any services pursuant to this Agreement. Each party waives the right to sue any other party for any workers’ compensation benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer or their dependents, even if the injuries were caused wholly or partially by the negligence of any other party or its officers, employees, or volunteers. ## ARTICLE 11 ## GENERAL PROVISIONS 11.1 Communication. a.

The city council recognizes the increasing use of electric-assisted bicycles ("e-bikes") and motorized foot scooters ("e-scooters") as efficient and eco-friendly modes of transportation and recognizes Minnesota Statutes Sections 169.011, 169.222, and 169.225 govern the operation of e-bikes and e-scooters, granting operators the rights and duties of bicyclists while imposing specific requirements. In order to promote public safety on city streets, sidewalks, bike lanes, and paths, the city council seeks to enforce allowed speeds of 20 miles per hour, consistent with the state limit, for e- scooters and as a prudent restriction for e-bikes within municipal boundaries and recognizes that careless operation of these devices poses risks to operators, pedestrians, and other roadway users, necessitating explicit prohibition and enforcement. ## Sec. 82-102. Incorporation of State Laws All provisions of Minnesota Statutes Sections 169.011 (definitions), 169.222 (operation of bicycles and electric-assisted bicycles), and 169.225 (motorized foot scooters) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. Operators of e-bikes and e-scooters within the city shall comply with all applicable state traffic laws, including but not limited to rights and duties equivalent to those of bicyclists, equipment requirements (e.g., lighting, brakes, reflectors), helmet mandates for minors, minimum age restrictions (under 15 for e-bikes; under 12 for e-scooters), prohibitions on passengers (except as allowed under state law), and rules for riding positions (e.g., as near to the right-hand curb as practicable, except when overtaking or avoiding hazards). The City of Blaine may prohibit or restrict operation on specific sidewalks, bike paths, or trails under their jurisdiction, and such restrictions shall be posted conspicuously.
