NEW BUSINESS ## 1. Les Bolstad Golf Course Redevelopment – Introduction from Rachel ## Development & Preliminary Overview of RFP Submission Concept Plans City Administrator Jack Linehan provided introductory remarks, including a project background and timeline, and outlined the format and expectations for the evening's meeting. Administrator Linehan summarized the key milestones leading to the meeting: the City's adoption of the Snelling and Larpenteur Corridor Study in November 2024; the University of Minnesota's announcement in June 2025 of its intent to dispose of the Les Bolstad Golf Course; city-hosted open house in September 2025 to gather community feedback; the University's release of its RFP in October 2025, with purchase price as the primary weighted criterion; RFP responses due in December 2025; the City Council's assembly of the CAC in April 2026; and the University's announcement in June 2026 that Rachel Development had won the RFP. Administrator Linehan explained that no questions or comments would be taken from council members, CAC members, or the public during the presentation, as this was the first opportunity for most attendees to view the RFP submission plans. He noted that the presentation, a video recording of the meeting, and additional information would be published to the city's website on Thursday morning, along with an email notification to newsletter subscribers. Administrator Linehan also clarified that this presentation did not constitute an official submission to the city and that the plans would be subject to modification through the ongoing collaborative process. ## Paul Robinson, Development Director for Rachel Development, introduced himself and his colleagues. He described his background, which included nine years working for municipalities—including six years as City Administrator of Edina—before transitioning to the private development sector over the past 24 years. He highlighted the Woodland Cove development in Minnetrista as a comparable project involving mixed product types, commercial uses, and complex multi-agency coordination. ## David Stradtman, Vice President of Development for Rachel Development, provided background on Rachel Development and its related company, Rachel Contracting, a St. Michael-based specialty contractor with expertise in earthwork, utilities, demolition, and environmental remediation of golf course properties. Mr. Stradtman noted his 30 years of experience in development, including work in retail and land acquisition. Paul Heuer, representing Pulte Homes, described his background as a former consulting city engineer and his 24 years of experience creating residential neighborhoods across the Twin Cities, including several redevelopment projects and a prior golf course redevelopment. Stephanie Griffin, Vice President of Land Acquisition for MI Homes, described her background as a third-generation female developer in the Twin Cities market. She noted that MI Homes, a national homebuilder based in Columbus, Ohio, had deep local roots through its predecessor company, Hans Hagen Homes. She highlighted that Pulte, MI Homes, and Rachel Development had previously collaborated on projects, including Woodland Cove and a development in Waconia. Mr. Robinson presented an overview of the approximately 140-acre site, covering topography, drainage, stormwater management, wetlands, and utility infrastructure. He described an elevation change of approximately 70 feet across the site, with drainage split between the Rice Creek Watershed District to the north and the Capitol Region Watershed District to the south. He noted that modern development standards would require dedicating approximately 7–10 percent of the gross land area to stormwater treatment, and that existing open water wetlands would likely be incorporated into the stormwater management system. Regarding wetlands, Mr. Robinson indicated that preliminary analysis identified approximately 3 acres of wetlands across 10–11 locations, with an estimated three- quarters of an acre potentially subject to impact and requiring wetland credit replacement through established mitigation programs. He noted that formal wetland delineation had not yet been completed. On utilities, Mr. Robinson identified potential sanitary sewer connection points on Roselawn to the northeast and along Larpenteur to the south, and noted possible connections in the neighboring cities of Lauderdale and Roseville pending capacity analysis. He stated that the primary water source was anticipated to be the trunk water main along Larpenteur, per correspondence from St. Paul Regional Water Services, with pressure and capacity studies to follow. Mr. Robinson also reviewed the surrounding neighborhood context, noting a general pattern of more suburban character to the north transitioning to greater density approaching Larpenteur to the south, which informed the overall organization of the proposed site plan. Mr. Robinson explained that the site plan was prepared in response to the University of Minnesota's RFP and was intended to establish value and demonstrate an implementable concept rather than represent a finalized plan. He emphasized that the plan closely followed the City's visioning committee goals and guiding principles, as well as the extrapolated land use plan that had grown out of the 2024 corridor study. He presented the plan in the context of the six visioning committee goals: Connectivity: The plan proposes connecting to four or five streets in both Lauderdale and Roseville, all relevant connections within Falcon Heights, and a trails and sidewalk network linking sub-neighborhoods to adjacent parks, Gibbs Farm, the Bell Museum, and other amenities. Only one cul-de-sac is included in the entire development. Mr. Robinson described a more grid-like street pattern along site edges adjacent to existing neighborhoods, transitioning to a more curvilinear interior pattern where natural features such as wetlands and greenways require it. Green Space: The plan dedicates approximately 17.2 upland acres (about 12 percent of the site) and roughly 30 total acres (approximately 20 percent) to open space, which Mr. Robinson indicated would exceed the open space proportion of the Hillcrest development. A public trail system would run through all open space areas. A notable feature is a southern greenway corridor approximately 100 feet wide running east-west along the south property line, providing a trail connection between parks and preserving mature trees. Mr. Robinson also described a "greenway parkway" experience along Coffman, with a series of open space views and buffers encountered when traveling through the site. He acknowledged that while tree preservation would be limited given the distribution of trees across the golf course, hundreds of new trees would be planted throughout the development. Self-Sustaining: Mr. Robinson expressed confidence that the development's assessed values—anticipated to meet or exceed the current Falcon Heights average home value range of approximately $385,000–$420,000—would generate sufficient property tax revenue to sustain city services without placing additional burden on existing infrastructure. All public infrastructure within the development would be constructed at the developer's expense using modern, durable materials. Housing Mix: The plan incorporates ten distinct product types, including rear-load alley single-family homes, 50-foot-wide villa-style single-family homes for empty nesters with HOA maintenance, two-story carriage townhomes, three-story urban townhomes, market-rate apartments, a combined independent and assisted living/memory care senior facility, and a commercial component. All single-family lots are proposed to be smaller than 10,000 square feet. Higher density uses are concentrated along Larpenteur, consistent with the visioning goals. The plan contemplates a range of approximately 1,400 to 1,800 total units depending on density scenario, equating to approximately 13– 16 units per acre across the site. Ms. Griffin presented MI Homes' product offerings, and Mr. Heuer presented Pulte Homes' offerings, each emphasizing the complementary nature of their respective home types and the diversity of buyers each product would attract. Mr. Stradtman described Rachel Development's multifamily component, noting planned market-rate apartments along Larpenteur and a senior living complex combining memory care, assisted living, and independent living in a campus format. He also described a commercial area of approximately 4.75 acres along Larpenteur that could support service retail, standalone commercial, or mixed-use development with residential above, depending on market conditions and further discussions with the city and Met Council regarding density requirements. Sustainability: Mr. Robinson referenced the significant improvement in home energy efficiency standards since 2006, noting that average HERS ratings had improved from approximately 100 to the mid-40s. He noted that Pulte and MI Homes offer solar-ready options and electric vehicle charger options for single-family products. For multifamily buildings, the development would meet the Enterprise Green Communities and ASHRAE 700 standards. Heat island mitigation through landscaped parking lot islands was also identified as part of the sustainability approach. Commercial: The commercial area is proposed along Larpenteur, connected to the neighborhood by sidewalk and trail. Mr. Stradtman and Mr. Robinson both acknowledged that commercial viability would need to be assessed through market analysis and that the city and developer shared an interest in ensuring any commercial uses would be successfully occupied. Mr. Robinson noted that the development team and city staff had not yet fully synchronized their respective timelines and process frameworks, but expressed commitment to working collaboratively to align the CAC's community engagement process with the developer's project advancement schedule. Regarding next steps, Mr. Robinson outlined the team's immediate priorities, including outreach to stakeholder agencies such as the two watershed districts, Ramsey County, Met Council, St. Paul Regional Water Services, and neighboring cities; sanitary sewer and water capacity analyses; traffic analysis; geotechnical investigations; wetland delineation; and initial environmental contaminant testing appropriate for an older golf course property. ## 2. Community Engagement Recap / Next Steps Administrator Linehan recapped the 6:30 PM CAC meeting that had taken place prior to the joint session, describing it as a productive 45-minute discussion focused on public participation strategies and how the community could provide meaningful input into the redevelopment process. He noted that while specific engagement opportunities had not been fully formalized, the CAC had identified initial approaches for broader public involvement. He confirmed that the presentation materials and a video recording of the evening's meeting would be posted to the city's project webpage at falconheightsmn.gov by Thursday morning, and that newsletter subscribers would receive an email notification with relevant links. Administrator Linehan reiterated that the CAC's next regular meeting was scheduled for August 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Falcon Heights City Hall. At that meeting, CAC members would be asked to bring forward ideas for community engagement, including methods they had seen work effectively in their respective communities. He also affirmed that Rachel Development would continue to be part of the process, with future opportunities for the City Council, CAC, and public to ask questions and provide feedback on the evolving plans. D. ADJOURN – Chair Anderson expressed appreciation to Rachel Development for the presentation and noted that the CAC looked forward to further engagement. Mayor Gustafson echoed those remarks on behalf of the City Council, stating that the proposal appeared to explain why the University of Minnesota had selected Rachel Development, and that the City looked forward to working with the team in the coming months and years. Mayor Gustafson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting was adjourned by consent at 8:32 PM.

POLICY ITEMS: 1. 2027 Budget Workshop #1 (6:00 P.M.) a. 2026 2 nd ## Quarter Financial Report and Year-End Estimates Landberg presented the 2026 Second Quarter Financial Report, covering the period through June 30, 2026. She reported that overall revenues and expenditures across all fund types are on track and broadly comparable to 2025 percentages-to-budget at the same point in the year. She noted that revenue figures do not uniformly reach 50% at mid-year due to the timing of property tax settlements and other cyclical receipts. General Fund: Revenues and expenditures are on track. General fund expenditures stood at approximately 40% of budget. Council Member Wassenberg asked whether the city produces monthly budget expectations broken down by timing. Landberg confirmed that no formal monthly revenue schedule is prepared, though she monitors individual line items such as charges for services on an ongoing basis. Special Revenue Funds: Performance is similar to 2025 percentages. Two notable variances were identified: the Community/Economic Development and Community Inclusion funds each showed expenditures near 97% and 96% of budget, respectively, attributable solely to allocated audit fees rather than any programmatic spending. Council Member Wassenberg inquired about the Community Inclusion fund's activities. Linehan explained that the fund has accumulated a healthy balance through annual general fund transfers of $10,000, but no specific inclusion initiatives were programmed for 2026. Debt Service Funds: All principal and interest payments are current. The 2023 G.O. Improvement Bond, which was retired early in 2025 using surplus assessment revenues from earlier road project funds, carries only audit fees as remaining expenditures. Council Member May sought clarification on the debt service percentages presented. Landberg explained that the 455% expenditure figure shown for the 2023 bond in 2025 reflected the early payoff. Linehan outlined the city's bond history, noting that each bond is tied to a specific road project, with the exception of the 2025 Tax Abatement Bond, which funded the community park. Capital Project Funds: These funds are difficult to compare year-over-year given the variable timing of project expenditures. Revenue overages in several capital funds are primarily driven by investment interest income. Linehan noted that the Fairway Commons and UMN Les Bolstad funds were recently created and the 2021 Street Project fund is being wound down and will be closed. Enterprise Funds: Minor timing variances exist in both sanitary sewer and storm drainage funds, largely due to a two-month lag in utility revenue receipts and the Metropolitan Council's advance billing for wastewater services. Year-End Projections: Landberg summarized that across all fund types, revenues are projected to finish over budget, and expenditures under budget. Linehan highlighted two primary revenue outperformers: investment interest on investments, projected at approximately $150,000–$180,000 against a $30,000 budget, and building permit revenue, projected at approximately $170,000 against a $60,000 budget, largely driven by the Fairway Commons development. On the expenditure side, the NYFS social work program line will come in approximately $20,000 under budget as the program was not launched, and the finance consultant line will be approximately $50,000 under budget, as the city settled on outsourced payroll at approximately $26,000 rather than drawing on the full $75,000 budgeted. Linehan also noted that the contracted planner line will exceed budget, partially offsetting those savings. He flagged the previously approved $325,000 budget amendment for the transfer to Parks Capital to purchase 1407 Larpenteur Avenue (the "Get Pressed" property) as the primary anomaly in the 2026 general fund picture. ## b. 2027 General Fund Preview Linehan presented a preliminary overview of the proposed 2027 General Fund Budget and outlined the budget process timeline. Key upcoming milestones include: a capital and PMP discussion at the next workshop featuring City Engineer Hendrickson's five- year infrastructure plan; a levy discussion workshop on approximately September 9; preliminary levy approval at the September 23 City Council meeting; and the Truth in Taxation hearing on December 9. Proposed Budget Changes — Revenues: The general fund is proposed to increase by 8.75%. The primary revenue drivers include a 14% increase in ad valorem tax receipts ($311,000), an 8% increase in fiscal disparities distribution, a modest increase in licenses and permits, and a doubling of the fines and forfeits budget from $15,000 to $30,000 in anticipation of continued growth in State Fair parking violation revenue. Linehan noted that the 2026 budget included a $49,000 transfer from the ParkMobile Parking Management fund to the general fund, which is not currently reflected in the 2027 proposal. He indicated this figure could be revisited at the September workshop once State Fair parking revenues are better known, and that including it could reduce the levy by approximately 1.5 to 2 percentage points. Proposed Budget Changes — Expenditures: Total expenditures are proposed to increase by approximately 7.96%. The principal expenditure drivers are: • Compensation: A total increase of approximately $103,000, attributable to grade and step increases, a proposed 3% cost-of-living adjustment (consistent with the current metro-area range of 3–4%), additional employees enrolling in the city's health insurance plan, and a more accurate accounting of overtime. Linehan noted that the city has historically budgeted $0 for overtime, which has proved inaccurate as staff tenure increases and comp-time balances grow. Staff additions for 2027 include expanding the administrative intern to a full-year position, adding a $5,000 finance intern line, and restoring a Public Works seasonal part-time position. • Public Safety: An increase of $193,176, reflecting St. Anthony Village Police reaching their contracted full complement of 30 officers in 2027. Linehan explained that once full staffing is achieved, annual increases are expected to moderate to approximately 5% or less, consistent with Lauderdale's historical experience under the same contract. • Financial Software: An upgrade from the current desktop-based Tyler Encode system to a cloud-based version at an estimated cost of approximately $19,000, driven in part by the forthcoming end-of-support for the existing server infrastructure. Landberg noted that the cloud-based system would allow remote access for consultants, enable workflow-based budget processes, and facilitate a planned addition of a fixed asset module (estimated at $600/year) to eliminate manual depreciation journal entries. • Conferences and Professional Development: A modest budget increase to better reflect actual recent expenditure trends. Levy and Tax Rate: The preliminary levy is proposed to increase from $2,882,408 to $3,234,420, a 12.21% increase of $352,012. Debt service levy remains stable at approximately $190,000 annually, with no major bonding anticipated in the next five years. The projected city tax rate would rise from approximately 37% in 2026 to approximately 41.91% in 2027. Council Member May asked for clarification on the tax rate figure. Landberg explained that the local tax rate is calculated by dividing the net local levy amount — after subtracting the fiscal disparities distribution — by the net local tax capacity provided by Ramsey County, over which the city has no control. Linehan provided context by noting that Falcon Heights had one of the lowest levy increases in Ramsey County in recent years (3.88% in 2025), and that the current increase reflects genuine cost pressures that had been partially deferred. For comparison, Saint Anthony's tax rate is approximately 65% and Saint Paul's exceeds 50%. ## Council Discussion — Levy Reduction Strategies: Linehan presented several levers available to reduce the preliminary levy, including: budgeting a ParkMobile transfer as a recurring revenue item; increasing the interest on investments estimate from $50,000 toward the $100,000–$150,000 range that has been consistently achieved; adjusting the Parks Capital transfer; or making modest use of the city's fund balance. He noted the city's fund balance policy requires a minimum of 45% of operating revenues to be held in reserve and that the city currently holds a healthy triple-A-rated balance well above that floor. Council Member Wassenberg advocated for working to reduce the levy increase, suggesting the council consider what an appropriate reserve level is and use surplus beyond that threshold to offset taxes rather than allowing reserves to grow indefinitely. He also suggested consideration of "leveling" increases across years — e.g., an 8% increase this year and a 6% increase next year — rather than a steep increase followed by a minimal one, to smooth the impact on taxpayers. Council Member May expressed general agreement, noting a preference for calculated rather than speculative risk when budgeting aggressive revenue estimates. She raised concerns about the apparent decline in intergovernmental revenue, which Linehan clarified was primarily a timing artifact related to LGA advances and the non-recurrence of one-time grants rather than a structural loss. May also asked about the risk of a state LGA reduction given the current political environment; Landberg and Linehan acknowledged the uncertainty but noted that 2027 LGA is projected to increase slightly and that maintaining LGA levels remains a League of Minnesota Cities legislative priority. Mayor Gustafson emphasized the importance of fiscal transparency, stating that if the city has legitimate expenses, it should raise the revenue to meet them rather than obscuring costs. He recalled that prior to 2017, the city had been artificially suppressing taxes by drawing down reserves to a dangerous level, and that correcting this required significant levy increases that residents ultimately accepted because the rationale was clearly communicated. There was general consensus among the Council to direct staff to explore strategies to reduce the levy below 10% where feasible without operational impact. Linehan committed to returning at the September 9 workshop with multiple levy scenarios — showing trade-offs for each approach — and with updated ParkMobile revenue figures following the State Fair. ## D.

The Council consented to the addition. Council Member Mielke motioned to approve the agenda as amended, to add Policy Item H5; Approved 4-0 ## D. PRESENTATION ## 1. Metropolitan Council Member Peter Lindstrom, District 10 Lindstrom, who also serves as District 10 representative on the Metropolitan Council and works at the University of Minnesota with the Clean Energy Resource Teams, provided a broad update on Met Council activities. He was accompanied by Abi Phillips, the newly promoted Met Council sector representative working closely with city staff. Wastewater. Lindstrom noted that 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the Mississippi River being declared biologically dead, with a 1926 survey finding only three fish between Saint Paul and Red Wing. He highlighted the Met Council's role in treating approximately 650 million gallons of wastewater daily across nine plants, with 600 miles of interceptor sewers. Falcon Heights contributes approximately 213 million gallons per year, for which the city is billed roughly $61,000 per month ($741,000 annually) at the wholesale rate. He noted the Met Council's wastewater rates are approximately 35 percent below the national average. Significant ongoing challenges include aging infrastructure, reduced groundwater recharge, increased water demand from data centers, and persistent contaminants such as PFAS, nitrogen, phosphorus, and chlorides. Transit. Lindstrom highlighted upcoming H Line Bus Rapid Transit service along Como Avenue, with stops planned at Como and Snelling and Como and Hamline, with construction beginning in 2028 and service commencing in 2029. He also noted that Route 61 along Larpenteur now runs every 30 minutes with new Saturday and Sunday service added. For the State Fair, Met Council will operate six express routes, and suburban transit providers will offer eight additional routes. Last year, approximately 390,000 rides were provided on Met Council express routes alone. Council Member May asked about coordination between BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) planning and existing bicycle infrastructure along Como Avenue. Lindstrom confirmed the H Line would not negatively impact existing bike infrastructure. Council Member Wassenberg asked about the H Line's full route. Lindstrom confirmed it would run from downtown Minneapolis to Sun Ray Shopping Center in Maplewood, intersecting with the existing A Line and the planned G Line on Rice Street. Council Member May noted that a stop on Route 61 at Arona had previously been proposed for removal, and credited Lindstrom with advocating to retain it given its proximity to senior housing. Community Development and Grants. Lindstrom announced that the full Metropolitan Council had voted, approximately 90 minutes before the meeting, to approve two grants for Falcon Heights: a $100,000 small area planning grant for Les Bolstad master planning, and a $631,000 grant for Fairway Commons for environmental cleanup and construction. He noted the city had also received a $40,000 planning grant to help with comprehensive plan consultant costs. Lindstrom encouraged the Council to look at community tree grants, recently opened to cities for ash tree removal and replacement on public boulevards and in parks. Phillips confirmed these grants opened on Tuesday. Linehan noted that the city also has an active transportation grant application still under review at the Met Council, seeking approximately $50,000 for a citywide bike plan. Lindstrom encouraged Council members to consider applying to serve on Met Council advisory committees, including the Transportation Advisory Board, which makes recommendations on allocating approximately $225 million in federal transportation funds every other year. Council Member May asked whether pedestrian and bicycle projects are eligible for that regional solicitation funding. Lindstrom confirmed they are, and also noted that a portion of a regional sales tax dedicated to transit is available for active transportation through a parallel grant process. ## E.

Improvement Bond Series 2021A Debt Service Fund Gustafson motioned to approve the consent agenda; Approved 4-0 ## H: POLICY ITEMS: 1. Approval of Ordinance 26-09 Amending Chapter 46 of City Code Concerning Noise ## Issues from Traffic and Vehicles Linehan summarized the background, explaining that a recent incident involving a car alarm sounding for multiple days in a residential neighborhood exposed a gap in city code. The existing 48-hour parking rule was the only applicable mechanism at the time. Staff reviewed practices in other cities and drafted language adding a vehicle alarm violation to Chapter 46. Following Council direction at the July workshop, the proposed time limit was set at two hours—reduced from the originally proposed four hours—after which the vehicle may be declared a public nuisance and the city may authorize law enforcement or a contractor to remove and impound it. Council Member Wassenberg characterized the ordinance as a straightforward and sensible patch to city code. Council Member Mielke moved approval of Ordinance 26-09 and Summary Ordinance 26-09 ## Amending Chapter 46 of the Falcon Heights City ## Code Concerning Noise Issues from Traffic and Vehicles; The motion carried 4-0. 2. Approval of Ordinance 26-10 Amending Chapter 22 of City Code Concerning ## Unnecessary Noise Linehan explained that the city has lacked a comprehensive noise ordinance, historically relying on MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) guidance and code provisions scattered across several sections covering refuse haulers, barking dogs, and home occupations. The new ordinance formally establishes prohibited noise categories and hourly restrictions. For most activities, permitted hours are 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekdays and 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekends and holidays. Refuse hauling hours mirror existing licensing language, extending to 10:00 PM on weekdays. Radios, music devices, and similar equipment are permitted until 10:00 PM. The proposed ordinance also contained a Section (c) on noise impact statements, which would allow the Council to require noise impact studies for certain zoning changes or permit applications. Linehan recommended striking this section, noting that the city currently lacks the zoning mechanism to implement or enforce it, and that Council Member Mogen had also expressed a preference to refer it to the Planning Commission for further development before inclusion. Linehan suggested the Council could strike Section (c), approve the ordinance as amended, and have the Planning Commission bring back a more fully developed provision at a later date. Council Member Wassenberg agreed, noting the section would be effectively inoperative until the Planning Commission completed the necessary supporting framework, and that it may need to read differently once that work is done. Council Member Mielke moved approval of Ordinance 26-10 and Summary Ordinance 26-10 ## Amending Chapter 22 of the Falcon Heights City ## Code Concerning Unnecessary Noise, as Amended to Strike Section (c); The motion carried 4-0. 3. Approval of Ordinance 26-11 Amending the 2026 Fee Schedule Ordinance to Modify Parking Fines and to Establish a Commercial Parking Lot License Fee Linehan summarized the three main components of the ordinance: (1) establishing a $35 commercial parking lot license fee; (2) formally codifying the administrative citation escalation schedule ($35.00 if paid within 14 days; $85.00 if paid within 15–59 days; turned over to collections after 60 days with a 30% increase for collection costs); and (3) clarifying the city's two credit card processing systems—Payroc (3.50%, minimum $2.00, for permits within iWorQ) and AllPaid (2.95%, minimum $3.99, for all other transactions). Council Member May raised a drafting concern with the fee schedule language, noting the phrase "current amount" in the collections tier was unclear and should be replaced with "$85.00" for transparency. Council Member Wassenberg agreed. The Council also identified that the word "keys" on page 64 of the packet had been inadvertently struck through and should be restored, as staff had decided to defer a broader update to the rental fee section. Council Member May moved to amend the fee schedule to replace "current amount" with "$85.00*" (retaining the T2 convenience fee asterisk) in the administrative citation collections row, and to restore the inadvertently struck word "keys" on page 64. The amendment carried 4-0. Mayor Gustafson moved approval of Ordinance 26- 11 and Summary Ordinance 26-11, Amending the ## 2026 Fee Schedule, as Amended; The motion carried 4-0. 4. Approval of Resolution 26-71 Authorizing the Request for General Fund Budget ## Amendment – Administrative Expenditures (112) – 60520 Part-Time Employees Linehan explained that the city budgeted $5,000 for an administrative intern in 2026. Due to a vacancy in the Administrative and Communications Coordinator position, the intern's tenure was extended, resulting in approximately $11,000 in year-to-date expenditures, offset by savings from the vacancy. With a current and upcoming planned staff leave, the city needs continued coverage. Linehan requested authorization to increase the part-time line to $20,000, allowing the city to hire a fall semester intern (September–December). He noted that staffing agency alternatives cost $50–60 per hour with no ability to select personnel, whereas the intern program consistently attracts strong candidates. Council Member Wassenberg expressed support, noting the program is economical and provides valuable career development opportunities for students interested in municipal government. Council Member Wassenberg moved approval of ## Resolution 26-71, Authorizing the General Fund ## Budget Amendment for Administrative Expenditures (112); The motion carried 4-0. ## 5. Hollywood Court Petition Linehan summarized a petition received the previous day from most residents of Hollywood Court, requesting two things: (1) Council approval of a resident placard they had designed for display in vehicle dashboards, and (2) that the city communicate the placard's existence and purpose to Minnesota State Fair security personnel. Linehan explained that Hollywood Court residents and Amber Union residents both face access challenges during the State Fair because the Larpenteur entrance is now closed due to Fairway Commons construction, leaving the Snelling and Hoyt entrance— staffed by rotating State Fair security officers—as their sole access point. The existing resident window stickers have proven difficult to present convincingly. Linehan proposed extending the placard approach to Amber Union residents as well, printing approximately 250 for distribution through the building's management, and presenting the information at the city's next scheduled meeting with State Fair police. Linehan also noted that there is value in the city formally endorsing the placard rather than having residents create unofficial signage. Council members acknowledged the limited scope of the solution—the placard would assist residents in getting past security barricades but would not serve as a parking pass—and expressed sympathy for the affected residents. Council Member May noted it at least alleviates part of a significant inconvenience. ## Council Member Mielke moved to Authorize the ## Creation and Distribution of Placards for Amber ## Union and Hollywood Court Residents to Display in Their Vehicles and to Direct Staff to ## Communicate the Details to State Fair Policing; The motion carried 4-0. ## I: INFORMATION / ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mielke recognized election volunteers on primary election day and encouraged residents to vote in person. Wassenberg reported on the Northeast Youth and Family Services annual board-staff picnic, noting that NYFS is expanding services to include psychological evaluations for adults in addition to children. May reported that neighborhood block parties were well-attended. She noted that the Environment Commission met on Monday, where Chair Adam Keester prepared a comparison of the Bolstad development plan against the city's Climate Action Plan goals, identifying priorities and deficiencies. She also celebrated that a water line has been installed at the Community Garden, a welcome development given the hot, dry weather. Mayor Gustafson noted that he and Council Member Mogen attended five block parties. He reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission met and worked on the park rental agreement, streamlining earlier draft language. The Commission will meet on Wednesday, September 2nd (moved from Labor Day) to continue work on a vision statement for parks within the Bolstad development. A soft launch of the new Community Park is planned for fall, with Fall Fest currently scheduled at the elementary school in October, though a possible merge with the park opening event is under consideration. Linehan provided the following staff updates: • State Fair parking permits have been mailed to all relevant zones, and digital pass requests and variance applications are being processed. • T2 Systems administrative citation infrastructure is being set up; scanners are delayed in customs in Quebec. • The State Fair resource guide has been mailed to residents. • Monument sign lighting repairs are underway at City Hall and the Snelling-Larpenteur location. • Boulevard trees were recently planted using a ReLeaf grant. • Community Park update: playground equipment delivery is expected next week; splash pad activation is pending vendor coordination; the contractor will return to regrade the entire site and seed after August 15th (the watershed-required seeding date); bathrooms will open with the building, which is anticipated by late September to early October. ## J: COMMUNITY FORUM: No members of the public came forward. The Community Forum was closed. Please limit comments to 3 minutes per person. Items brought before the Council will be referred for consideration. Council may ask questions for clarification, but no council action or discussion will be held on these items. ## K: ADJOURNMENT: 8:39 P.M. Council Member Mielke motioned to adjourn the meeting; Approved 4-0 Amendments to the agenda are noted in bold for additions and strikethrough for removals.

Pricing came in around $48,000 at the time, but it was not bid using prevailing wage requirements. The City had bid it as an alternate in the event we did not get the Outdoor Recreation DNR grant, so that we could have pricing and an option if we wanted to move forward with a quote. As we did get the grant, it was required that we rebid the work using the MN DNR format. WSB released an RFP on behalf of the City and accepted proposals for playground fencing from qualified providers through August 20, 2026. Four vendors submitted quotes during this time for consideration. Of the four quotes received, Century Fence submitted the lowest base bid of $48,600. In addition, the safety fencing was part of the City’s requested expenses to be covered as part of the MN DNR Outdoor Recreation grant and will be part of the reimbursable fees totaling $350,000. ## Budget ## Impact Funds are budgeted in the 2026 capital budget for the playground upgrade. ## Attachment(s) ## • Memo from WSB Project Manager Bob Slipka on Process • Four bids received • Resolution 26-72 ## Action(s) ## Requested Staff recommends that City Council accept the project bid from Century Fence not to exceed $48,600 for the fencing materials and installation around the new playground at Community Park, and authorize the City Administrator to execute the necessary purchase agreements. ## Meeting Date August 26, 2026 ## Agenda Item ## Consent G3 ## Attachment(s) ## Memo, Bid Estimates; Resolution ## Submitted By ## Kelly Nelson 7 0 1 X E N I A A V E N U E S | S U I T E 3 0 0 | M I N N E A P O L I S , M N | 5 5 4 1 6 | 7 6 3 . 5 4 1 . 4 8 0 0 | W S B E N G .

A street tree has heaved a portion of the existing curb, creating an obstruction that prevents water from draining along the curb line and creates a hazard to the roadway, particularly in winter during freezing conditions. The condition is particularly noticeable following the City's 2025 Pavement Management Project, which re-established the crown of the roadway. As part of the 2025 Pavement Management Project, curb was replaced upstream of the current drainage issue. Staff reviewed both existing survey taken before the project and conducted post-construction survey which verified that the 2025 project did not change the slope, grade, or flow lines in the area of the current issue. Staff believes the drainage condition is instead related to the existing tree-heaved curb coupled with the re-established crown of the roadway. Prior to the 2025 project, drainage likely flowed around the irregular curb line and into the roadway before continuing downstream to the catch basin at the intersection of Iowa Avenue W and Pascal Street. With the roadway crown re-established during the 2025 project, the heaved curb now creates a more significant impediment to drainage. The proposed repair consists of removing the heaved portion of curb and tying the new curb into the existing curb to establish positive drainage, which would be roughly 100 lineal feet of curb rehabilitation. The work will also require limited pavement removal and restoration, as well as traffic control. The City requested quotes from qualified contractors to complete the repair. The following quotes were received: ## Meeting Date August 26, 2026 ## Agenda Item ## Consent G4 ## Attachment ## Agreement; Resolution ## Submitted By ## Erik Henricksen, City Engineer ## CONTRACTOR QUOTE ## North Valley, Inc. $24,958.95 ## Valley Paving $28,980.00 North Valley, Inc. submitted the lowest quote of $24,958.95. Staff recommend entering into an agreement with North Valley, Inc. to complete the work. Construction is anticipated to occur in late September. ## Budget Impact The proposed repair will be funded through Capital Improvement Fund 419. Sufficient funds are available from the 2025 Road Project budget to complete the work. The agreement with North Valley, Inc. will be for $24,958.95, consistent with the contractor's submitted quote. ## Attachment(s) ## Agreement; Resolution 26-73 ## Action(s) ## Requested Approve the Agreement with North Valley, Inc. for the curb repair at 1446 Iowa Avenue W in the amount of $24,958.95. 1 231204v1 ## AGREEMENT ## BETWEEN CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS AND CONTRACTOR ## FOR NON-BID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT THIS AGREEMENT made this 26 th day of August, 2026, by and between the CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS, a Minnesota municipal corporation (“Owner” or “City”) and North Valley, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Contractor”).

The project originally included approximately 5,400 lineal feet of sanitary sewer lining along Fairview Ave, Roselawn Ave, Garden Ave, Larpenteur Ave, and Maple Knoll Dr. The City budgeted $400,000 for sanitary sewer lining in 2026. Due to the favorable bid received from Visu-Sewer, staff worked with the contractor to determine whether additional sanitary sewer rehabilitation could be completed as part of the 2026 project. Through this process, the City and Visu- Sewer agreed to pricing that allows the remaining sanitary sewer lining needs in Falcon Heights to be completed as part of the current project. Change Order #1 is attached which shows quantities, unit pricing, and total cost. The additional work will increase the total project from approximately 5,400 lineal feet to approximately 10,400 lineal feet of sanitary sewer lining. This will complete all currently identified sanitary sewer lining needs within the City, eliminating the need for the sanitary sewer lining project previously anticipated for 2027. Staff will continue to monitor the condition of the sanitary sewer system and recommend additional rehabilitation projects as needed. ## Th e negotiated pricing provides additional value to the City. The unit price for 8” CIPP lining remains unchanged from the original bid. The additional 18” CIPP lining price was reduced from $209.15 per lineal foot to $130.00 per lineal foot, and the 21” CIPP lining was negotiated at $202.00 per lineal foot. The negotiated 21” was not originally bid, however the quoted price remains below the original 18” CIPP unit price. Change Order #1 is in the amount of $213,982.30, increasing the total contract amount from $230,560.00 to $444,542.30. While the revised contract amount exceeds the $400,000 budget by $44,542.30, the additional work can be ## Meeting Date August 26, 2026 ## Agenda Item ## Policy H1 ## Attachment ## Change Order #1; Resolution ## Submitted By ## Erik Henricksen, City Engineer completed under the existing project without separately incurring many of the costs associated with a future project, including mobilization, traffic control, and other appurtenant work. Additionally, staff anticipates particular items in the original award will not be needed in this year’s project (allowances, transition liners, and short liners) reducing the overall cost of the project. Completing the additional lining as part of the 2026 project is therefore expected to provide long-term cost savings to the City and completes the planned lining efforts in Falcon Heights for the foreseeable future. Construction is scheduled to begin in September following the State Fair, with completion remaining scheduled for October 16, 2026. ## Budget Impact The original contract amount of $230,560.00 was substantially below the $400,000 budgeted for the 2026 sanitary sewer lining project. Change Order #1 will increase the contract amount to $444,542.30, which is $44,542.30 above the 2026 project budget. The additional work will complete the City's currently identified sanitary sewer lining needs and eliminate the need for a separate 2027 lining project. Staff anticipates that completing the work under the current contract will result in long-term cost savings by avoiding a separate mobilization, traffic control, and other project-related costs. Additionally, staff anticipates particular items in the original award will not be needed in this year’s project (allowances, transition liners, and short liners) reducing the overall cost of the project. ## Attachment(s) ## Change Order #1, Presentation, Resolution 26-75 ## Action(s) ## Requested Approve Change Order #1 for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer Lining Project (25-03) with Visu-Sewer, Inc. in the amount of $213,982.30, and authorize a budget amendment in Sanitary Sewer Fund 601 to reflect the modified 2026 budget. ## CHANGE ORDER ## Change Order No. 1 Page 1 of 2 ## Project Location ## Falcon Heights ## Local Agency ## City of Roseville Local Project No. 25-03 ## Contractor ## Visu-Sewer, Inc.
