Subject: Reserve Officer Matt Jordan Retirement
INTRODUCTION
Since the mid-1960s, the Reserve Officer Program has been a vital component of the Cottage
Grove Police Department (CGPD). Reserve Officers, who are volunteer non-sworn personnel,
play important roles in our success. They patrol our neighborhoods, parks, and businesses to
deter crime; perform traffic control; provide transport services; participate in community
engagement events; and do many more tasks in support of CGPD’s mission. Reserve Officers
volunteer hundreds of hours annually in support of our community. Their dedicated service
warrants recognition.
One of the finest and long-standing Reserve Officers, Matt Jordan, retired after 13 years of
service. His career as a CGPD Reserve Officer has been distinguished by professionalism,
dedicated and selfless service, and genuine regard for our community and public safety team.
On behalf of CGPD and the City of Cottage Grove, I ask Council to join me in recognizing and
appreciating Matt for his years of service. Matt will be presented with his badge and a
certificate of appreciation.
RECOMMENDATION
Recognize Matt Jordan’s retirement by presenting him with a badge and certificate of
appreciation.

TRAINING ROOM - 5:45 P.M
1. CALL TO ORDER
The City Council of the City of Cottage Grove, Washington County, Minnesota, held a Special Meeting on
June 17, 2026, at Cottage Grove City Hall, 12800 Ravine Parkway South. Mayor Bailey called the meeting to order.
2. AGENDA
A. Washington County Project Updates
Staff Recommendation: Receive project updates and provide feedback to Washington County.
Mayor Bailey said we’re going to receive project updates from Washington County, and I believe the two projects
that we’re going to be talking about are County State Aid Highway 20, or Jamaica Avenue, and then also 100th
Street.
Wayne Sandberg introduced himself as the Public Works Director for Washington County, and said this is Kevin
Peterson, the Design Engineer.
Well thanks, Mayor, Members of Council, Good Evening. As noted, I’m Kevin Peterson, and I’m joined tonight by
Washington County Public Works Director Wayne Sandberg, and soon here Commissioner Karla Bigham. As noted,
tonight we’re going to plan an update on County Highway 20, or Jamaica, and County Road 19A.
So, we’re going to start with County Highway 20, and here’s what we’ll be running through:
• Give an update on the project
• Discuss the project schedule
• Review the traffic modeling and four-lane analysis
• Discuss project alternatives that are under consideration as we speak
• Review next steps
Of course, we’ll be available for any questions, both now and at the end, so feel free to jump in.
So, this project will take place along County Highway 20 from County Highway 22, or 70th Street, to Military Road,
which is coincidentally, a continuation of County Highway 20. Both of these projects are located in Cottage Grove,
with a small piece on the north side within the City of Woodbury. This section of highway was actually transferred
from Cottage Grove to the County in 2018 as part of a transfer that gave the City the Military Road alignment,
which has now been turned into a multiuse trail that connects into County Highway 19 to the east. From our
perspective, this corridor is suffering from aging pavement, its really seen just a lot of development around it, and
is fully ready for a major reconstruction.
Project Schedule
You’ll see that we’re just in the early phases of that preliminary design and public outreach. We’re obviously not in
Spring of 2027, so like I noted, we’re in the midst of the alternatives analysis phase as a part of that preliminary
design work. Looking ahead, final design and any Right-of-Way acquisition is planned to take place in 2027, with
construction planned for 2028.

So, we understand there are questions about whether this corridor should be reconstructed as two lanes or four.
As background from our perspective, choosing the right number of lanes is not a decision we take lightly.
• Too few lanes can lead to: Backups, delays, and traffic seeking alternate routes on neighborhood streets.
• Too many lanes come with tradeoffs as well: More Right-of-Way impacts or even dedication that may
limit development in the future, higher construction and long-term maintenance costs, more salt usage,
higher stormwater impacts, just physically longer pedestrian crossings, higher speeds, and also blocked
visibility.
We’ve also learned through experience that lane capacity is only one piece of the picture. Good access spacing,
which this corridor benefits from thanks to strong City planning, also allows for a two-lane roadway to perform
more efficiently and safely than corridors with frequent driveways or intersections regardless of the number of
lanes.
Traffic Modeling and Four-Lane Analysis
That said, I guess just understanding the future of this corridor really became critical on this project, so we actually
asked our traffic engineering consultant to do a deeper dive into five different modeling scenarios here. We’re just
getting a draft of this, so this is pretty hot off the press, and we’re still diving into the details, but given the profile
of this project and the timing tonight, we wanted to dive into some of this information.
The first modeling analysis they did is really a standard analysis, it is this whole development, including
Lochridge, McHattie, and then the development north, in the City of Woodbury, we’re calling it the south of Dale
Master Plan. Assuming that whole development, this baseline analysis, as you’ll see in blue, assumes the
connection to Pioneer Drive to the south. And then we added on a pretty conservative 3.2% background growth
rate, just on top of all of that, and then we projected that out to 2045.
As I noted, we did want to do a few more layers of conservative analysis, so we also looked at what we call a
long-term horizon analysis. So, this was kind of doing that backwards. We took everything I just noted, the
connection, the development, the 3.2%, and we actually had them project that forward to when we think a four
lane would be needed based on that rough 10,000 ADT shown in the previous slide. The result of that is we’re
actually 2069, so well beyond the service life of a County Highway like this.
The County Highway 20 primary corridor was the next scenario that that team ran, it was again assumed that
same background growth as the baseline 2045 scenario, including that Pioneer Drive connection and development.
However, the trip distribution for the south of Dale development in Woodbury was adjusted to show 100% of
those trips going down to County Highway 20, which is an incredibly conservative assumption, especially just given
Military Road and even opportunities to the north, like Bailey Road. This roadway, under this analysis, still did not
exceed that 10,000 ADT four-lane threshold.
Commissioner Bigham said I just want to interject one thing: I talked to Steve Morris, and I asked him when is that
other wing of Pioneer, off the roundabout, going in, and he alerted me that land has now been taken off because
the farmers want more time. He said it is, at a minimum, six-to-eight years where it will still be farmed. So, they
will not be doing that development for a minimum of six-to-eight years.
Council Member Thiede asked now, when that does get put in, is it planned to be four lanes? Is Pioneer above
that four lane right now?
Commissioner Bigham replied Pioneer is off at the T; so, you have Military and you have Jamaica, and Pioneer is
up here.
Council Member Thiede said I know, but I’m trying to remember where it is finished off to in Woodbury, is it
four lanes right now?
Kevin replied it’s one lane in each direction.
Council Member Thiede said if it were going to be made, that’ll still probably be just a two-lane coming down
unless there was significant evidence?
Commissioner Bigham replied that also would be a question for Woodbury because Woodbury would have that,
but I would agree with you, I would assume it’s a two lane, but Woodbury would have that ultimate decision.
Council Member Thiede said okay, thanks.

Kevin replied yeah, and to that point, the Pioneer Drive piece, of course that is in, its relatively new, in the past five
years.
Mayor Bailey said just a real quick question, too, is in the study that they did, in this area pretty much everything
now in Cottage Grove in this end is fully developed, with the exception of the middle parcel there, which is the
Kemp property. When you did the traffic studies, did they put the Kemp property in that number?
Kevin replied it’s in there, but it would probably empty out, it would have to be into a Jamaica lot.
Mayor Bailey said they would have to move the Ravine Parkway to do that.
Council Member Olsen said yeah, we have the road going through there, didn’t we?
Kevin said yeah, we did assume that connection, but Mayor, I will check to see if they included that actual
development. I have the study here, so we can review it in detail. I don't know offhand because it does not show
up on the map there, so it’s a vacant lot. But to your point, we did assume that Ravine would be connected over to
the west, too, and we’ll kind of come back to that, too, as we get into some of the highway details here.
Kevin said jumping back in, the Pioneer Drive high-growth analysis assumed all that same background, full
development, Pioneer Drive connection, but what we did on that one is they assumed the Pioneer Drive extension
was amplified; this is kind of backwards again, too, but until a four-lane threshold was reached, so, to do that we
actually had to project that up 71.9% annually from what it normally would be. So, it’s kind of another way to back
in when we would need that four lane as a gut check, and that 71% growth rate really was higher than anything we
would ever expect to see.
Then the final scenario, we just ran in what would be a high-density housing scenario. So, assuming high density
in that full buildout area in Woodbury, to meet that four-lane threshold, we found that that density would have to
increase by 288%; so, far beyond what we’ve seen in any of the Master Planning efforts. Based on that high level,
preliminary, conservative traffic-engineering analysis, really none of those five scenarios got us into that four-lane
need.
So, here’s kind of what that looks like, as far as kind of graphically. From a planning perspective, again, it’s not a be
all and end all, but then 10,000 to 13,000 ADT is just really where we would start talking about a four lane. You’ll
see on the graphics there, we’re really not close to that. That lower blue bar is actually showing vehicles per lane
per hour, which is a whole more-detailed way to look at lane capacity, that’s actually how the memo looked at it,
but we wanted to make it a little bit simpler and just base it on ADT. So, again, given the information that we have,
we are really confident in that two-lane design. I’ll just close by saying that we have two-lane corridors all over the
County, they’re effectively handling over 15,000 cars a day, one of which is actually near the Stillwater High School.
So, high schools, as we know from our experience, are also really peaky highways, and that roadway does back up,
it certainly is ready for that four lane, but we have seen two-lane corridors, with even worse access spacing than
this one, effectively handle many, many cars a day into that 15,000 car a day range.
Council Member Olsen said one note on that, there was at one time some dialogue about the Kemp property
potentially being purchased by the School District. Have you heard anything more on whether or not it will take
place?
Kevin replied yeah, I mean, and from our perspective, just looking at the area, it sure looks like it’s set up for
residential development, so that’s how I’m expecting it to stabilize.
Mayor Bailey asked was there any talk of what kind of, like a high school or a middle school? Or is there a need
for a high school in this area?
Council Member Olsen replied well, I think they were thinking about elementary schools maybe coming
together, you know Woodbury to the south and Cottage Grove to the north, and looking for some additional
property. Again, I don't know any more about whether or not there’s been any further conversation about taking
that any further. I know the School District still has an interest in property, but where I’m not totally sure. I was
told about that a long time ago, about the Kemp property.
Mayor Bailey said well, part of that is the school would be on the border, literally, and it was going to be an
elementary. City Council Special Meeting Minutes

Commissioner Bigham asked is this your final slide, Kevin?
Kevin replied I have many more slides on the project, but this is it for our four-lane modeling analysis.
Commissioner Bigham said so, I was at the public Open House, the same with Paul, and I only missed ten minutes
on the front end and ten minutes on the back end, and I think the only person that asked about why aren’t we
doing a four lane was Ken. No one else had any, correct me if I’m wrong, but they also wanted curb, gutter, and
they were very interested in the path, that is right by the development where Woolery lives, for safe crossing on
the lower end of the development. Council Member Olsen said I’ve heard that a lot, too. Commissioner Bigham
said and then the intersection that has the stop on the upper end, those were the comments that I heard.
Overwhelmingly, there was one alternative that they liked except for one guy, who was very vocal about leaving
everything natural and no curb, gutter, no nothing, because of maintenance, and that’s all he kept saying no, it’ll
be cheaper to do maintenance. I think he talked your ear off a little bit, too. So, anyway, that’s really the feedback
that we received at that Open House.
Kevin said thank you for setting me up, I will get into some more details on that. So, in addition to the quantity
of land, the team also looked at several intersection configurations throughout the corridor. The layout shared
with the public at that Open House included an all-way stop at Ravine Parkway and then a roundabout at that
future Pioneer Drive extension. What you’ll see here, actually going north, we have worked with Woodbury on
that quite a bit, so north is kind of a right; that does show two lanes or one lane coming into the roundabout and
one lane going out. So, that is a typical section that was provided by the City of Woodbury to match it with the
roundabout.
We do expect to construct the Ravine Parkway intersection to be signal ready when we rebuild it in 2028, and of
course we’ll continue to monitor it. It’s likely that when Ravine Parkway connects to the west, we’ll be prepared to
move on that signal.
Council Member Olsen said but we definitely need to do a four-way stop in the development.
Kevin replied we will, yeah, right now. And actually, diving into more details on that, your staff actually has a
resolution to support putting an all-way stop in, even this summer, just given some of the growth.
Council Member Olsen said that would be a really smart move.
Kevin replied oh, thanks, yeah. But again, right now we’re looking at an all-way stop there, but we’re going to
track things hard for a stoplight, and we do expect that when things connect to the west, we’ll definitely be ready
to mobilize on that.
Administrator Levitt said so, Kevin, just to be clear, the intersection will be designed for signal in the future.
Kevin replied we may, yep. Yeah, and either way, Administrator, we will build it to be ready for a signal, that’s a
baseline assumption. So, if that signal goes in in ’28 with the project, or even the next year, it’ll be set up for that.
Commissioner Bigham said we got you.
Mayor Bailey asked well, would there be a reason if you wanted to do a roundabout there? I shouldn’t be
asking.
Kevin replied no, it’s a great question, Mayor. It’s actually more related to the balancing of traffic. Ravine
Parkway actually has quite a bit of traffic coming from that east leg, and if we were to do a roundabout, that east
leg wanted to move south and would just take over the whole roundabout; so, we couldn’t get that north-south
traffic through. So, that all-way stop or that signal does a better job of handling those unbalanced volumes.
Commissioner Bigham said and I don’t want to bring this down a rabbit hole, but one thing, and this is a
question that I just thought of, so I’m asking it just because it popped into my head: 19 and I know we’re going to
talk a little bit about it, you know, probably in the early mid-2020s or 30s is going to be redone. Now we’re going to
have Radio next year from Military to Bailey, like Ravine is going to have a boatload more traffic even than it has
now to accommodate over the next two, and then this will be ’28. So, if you think about it, the next almost three,
two-to-three years, and then a quick break, and then it’ll start back up again with having 19 stopped or at least
under construction. Did we consider all of that in the timing for the four-way stop versus light?
Kevin replied we did, yeah, and that’s, I mean, that’s obviously not our priority is to just dump more traffic on
Ravine, just allowing those drivers. Right now, that operates as a stop sign on Ravine, of course, which can lead to
some pretty big delays. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 5 of 16
Commissioner Bigham asked so can we, no pun intended, can we stop and pivot like in the middle of some
construction projects and erect the lights and everything and turn it from a stop to a light?
Kevin replied we can look at that; that would be harder, I think we’d get a little bit beat up just knowing that we
have a major construction project the next year, but if delays are too big, we can make it work.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, the Mayor and I are getting beat up right now for having two of the major
thorough ways shut down and from MnDOT’s problem, but I’m just trying to think of what could we learn from
what we’re going through in this moment. I think if I’m reading into what Administrator Levitt is saying, is if we’re
ready to go, then why not do it? And we’re anticipating the construction of the next three years with a break, and
then in a couple years, 19 would be expanded.
Administrator Levitt said and just looking at the adjacent growth. You know, we already have the plat on the
east side, you know the west side’s going to come in probably with another two-to-three additions by the time this
is built. And, so, you’ve kind of already got the households that are going to be using it right away and kind of
create that additional traffic on Ravine Parkway legs, and then if you do have the construction that you’re talking
about, you’re going to get that north-south pressure.
Kevin said and your residents are going to say; Commissioner Bigham said what the hell? Kevin said yeah, why
didn’t you just do it right now?
Commissioner Bigham said right, just do this from the beginning, you delayed it a year or two, and you could’ve
had this open. But Wayne is the money guy, I don’t know all of his projects, and Ravine is yours, I get that part.
Wayne replied we can look at it. I think we’re certainly open to putting it in if it makes sense; we don’t want to
have to come back a year later. The only thing we’ve got to be mindful of, and you’ve mentioned it already, if it
doesn’t meet warrants and we can’t show that it’s going to meet them real close to the project, we will not be able
to spend State Aid dollars on the stoplights.
Commissioner Bigham said correct.
Wayne said so, we have to look at that, but if we think that there’s aggressive enough growth, it’s like Kevin
said, we’re going to keep an eye on it through the design. If we can show MnDOT and State Aid that this makes
sense, we’re all in on putting it in with the project.
Commissioner Bigham said and that’s why they’re national award-winning engineers.
Council Member Thiede asked we don’t think that Ravine will have more traffic than 70th Street, right? So,
apparently that roundabout at 70th and Jamaica is more balanced than what you projected this to be?
Commissioner Bigham replied probably.
Council Member Thiede said and I suppose in terms of our development there on 65th, have we been able in
our traffic studies to be able to determine if people coming out of there that go essentially to 70th to go east to
possibly 19?
Council Member Olsen asked are you talking about the new McHattie development? Council Member Thiede
replied no. Mayor Bailey said he’s all the way over to Hinton.
Council Member Thiede asked what is it? Calarosa. So, coming out of there, you know, because if they’re only
going to 19, they’re going to be jumping on Ravine Parkway now instead of going over to 70th. I don't know, I’m
just curious.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, or Military.
Wayne said but I can see what you’re saying, instead of going all the way down to 70th, they’ll shoot over on
Ravine over to 19.
Mayor Bailey said now mind you, until, it’s good for the future, but Kemps have to sell before that would go all
the way through. And to be honest with you, when the road goes through, I do actually think there’s going to be
higher traffic.
Commissioner Bigham replied no, I agree, and that’s how like my parents would get to my house.
Council Member Olsen said I was just going to ask how are Mom and Dad Bigham going to go? Yeah.
Kevin said well, now with all this data, Council Member, we’re keeping a close eye on 22 also, 70th Street, right?
We have a study in our CIP, I don’t think it’s next year, the year after, but we’re seeing a lot of growth over there,
too. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026

Mayor Bailey said all right, so, on this one, you’ve got the roundabout there, that’s Pioneer that goes to the right,
and we won’t have anything going to the left because that’s development, and the topography’s a little high.
Kevin replied that’s my understanding. You know, if that were to change, it’ll be set up to tie into it, it won’t be
easy, but yeah, that’s our understanding. And that kind of hatch on the bottom left, that’s that old Military
connection, so that would be severed. So, really, as you’re coming up call it Jamaica or County Highway, then you’ll
bend to the left and follow Military Road in the northwest.
Council Member Thiede said so, I mean, it could be possible that if Woodbury puts in a development right there,
it’s kind of unfortunately coming down into a slice, right, and then it goes to the east with Military. I suppose that’d
be an appropriate place instead of putting another entry on Military to put something on that roundabout to go
into a neighborhood right there, possibly.
Kevin replied possibly, yeah, you’re thinking maybe another leg onto that roundabout?
Paul said well, I think, and keep in mind that north is almost, can you show with your mouse which way is north?
Kevin replied north is straight to the right, actually, but Pioneer Drive bends to the right to go straight north, so I
don't know if it shows up. You can kind of see it there, of course turned the right way, so in hindsight, I should’ve
turned that graphic.
Council Member Thiede said and I don't know, you’ve got something marked in blue. Kevin replied the area
marked in blue is our Lochridge development. Council Member Thiede said and then the other part, in Woodbury,
is marked in blue there, south of Military Road, what is that? Kevin replied that’s definitely Pioneer. Council
Member Thiede said no, no, no, no, I’m talking about that, kind of the little wider piece. Kevin asked up by Dale
Road? Council Member Thiede said no. Commissioner Bigham said the orange is the McHattie. Council Member
Thiede said if you look where it says Military Road right there, just below that, that little blue enclosed area. Is that
enclosed for some reason?
Kevin replied that’s part of the City of Woodbury’s South of Dale Master Plan, so it’s a new development.
Council Member Thiede said and it didn’t include the other little, obviously, that property there, that little cone
that goes to the roundabout, which is or is not part of any other plan, apparently. Commissioner Bigham said it
looks like two smaller residential properties. Council Member Thiede said anyway, I think it’s maybe somewhat
immaterial, I’m just kind of had some thoughts, right? Kevin said yeah, I appreciate that. And, you know, just
knowing how the County manages access, too, we want to be deliberate about things like that.
Mayor Bailey asked so, Jennifer, are you thinking from this resolution standpoint that sooner than even the
development goes in there, we’ll have this four-way stop?
Administrator Levitt replied yes, right now, as part of the Developer Agreement with Lochridge, we had to ask
them to build the turn lanes, but if you were to build the turn lanes, we’d be ripping them out in 2028; so, we’re
asking the developer to not build the turn lanes, and we’ll take the cash so that we can put it towards the project
in 2028. So, we would be bringing a resolution for an all-way stop and then the Developer Agreement, but
obviously, residents are going to experience something very different in the interim.
Kevin said yeah, and then playing that out, if the City supports that all-way stop resolution, we’ll do the same
thing on our end to bring it to the County Board and get that installed this summer. So, that’ll be relatively quickly.
Council Member Olsen said so, back to the question about State Aid dollars for stoplights. Is that based entirely on
the modeling that we do?
Paul replied, well, there are two ways you can do it. One is if existing traffic volumes meet the thresholds to
justify a stoplight, that’s not the case, so then you pivot to trying to show your modeling is going to come in the
near future; and I don't know if they have a set number of years, I think we’ve been trying to say within five years
or so, so that might be our angle here if we want to go down that route.
Council Member Olsen said and that’s why I asked the question because I think that provides us with a little
wiggle room, yeah, okay.
Paul said because my understanding is right now, we don’t even meet with that five years, kind of given some of
the delays with that Pioneer Drive to the north, but I think if it becomes a priority, we can. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026

Council Member Olsen said well, and parcels moving is a big point about what happens when some of these other
projects come online, and how does that then divert the traffic flow? I think that’s a critical piece of the
conversation.
Paul said and in our favor, too, is it’s clearly we have a significant amount of development happening all around
us, it’s not like we’re in an already-developed area. So, I think we can make a good argument if that’s where we
end up going.
Council Member Olsen said yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Kevin said good, thank you, I appreciate the
discussion.
Kevin said all right, Commissioner Bigham alluded to this, but we also looked at, you know we kind of call these
corridor typical sections. So, we actually looked at four types, here’s two of them, they really fit into two separate
buckets: This is what we’re calling that Parkway style, so the biggest difference between the Parkway style and
what we’ll show on the next page is this Parkway style does have that curb and gutter in the middle, and then that
concrete median. You’ll see the difference between these two, it’s pretty subtle, but the bottom one, that two-
lane rural does not include that curb and gutter on the outside. What you’ll see on all four of these options is they
all include a separated, shared-use path, they’ll all include stormwater features. They’ll all include turn lanes at key
intersections, and they’ll all be set up for that future signal and ready for that all-way stop, and then merge well
into that roundabout. While all four options are really supported, we’re still taking feedback, but from our
perspective, the option that omits that curb on the outside is really more scalable for that future if that four lane
were needed. It’s also maybe just a more responsible way to put dollars now, we would save money on that curb
and gutter, we would save money on that storm sewer that could beneath that curb and gutter. We could also use
that ditch space for stormwater treatment. So, we’re still vetting out or reacting to the public comment, but from a
technical standpoint, the Project Team really feels like there are some benefits to not putting that curb and gutter
on the outside.
Council Member Olsen said and the idea there is because if you needed to then expand the roadway at a future
date, you don’t have to tear that out, right?
Kevin replied exactly right, yep, and the road would really function the same way, essentially, you’d still have
shoulder with that curb and gutter option, we have that here now. So, but that’s it, again the Project Team is
comfortable with all four of these, so I’m just kind of sharing some technical data with you here.
And then here’s what we’re seeing on kind of those classic County Highway Road alternatives; instead of that
concrete median, it would be more of a striped median, it wouldn’t have that curb and gutter, but it would still
have those center left-turn lanes, those right-turn lanes at key intersections. You’ll see that boulevard and then the
shared-use path on both of these options, too.
Paul said this will feel more like 70th between Jamaica and 19 because today it’s a wide sea of pavement with
lines that direct you, basically.
Mayor Bailey said you were commenting about the, I’m actually more in favor of the finished product, I’ll just say
it, so it would be whatever that first one was, and the reason I’m saying that is that the rest of Jamaica is that way.
And even if, and I get it, if you guys want in the future, and I’ve been the one that talked about, I just don’t like it
when roads kind of go small, large, small, large, it just drives me nuts. And the only reason we put the single lane in
there was because we didn’t want to spend the extra dollars, years ago, to tear up the road again because of all
the construction that was going on there. So, I saw that kind of in the back of my mind, but you convinced me that
the timing is right, but even if we’re talking to 2069 or 2068, whatever you said, I would much prefer to see a
finished product because it’s all going to be developed, it’s all going to be neighborhood specific, and having just
the ditches there is.
Commissioner Bigham said it’s consistent, A is consistent with the rest of and what will be into Woodbury when
they develop. So, I agree, and that’s what the people said.
Mayor Bailey asked because Pioneer is that way, isn’t it? Commissioner Bigham said yep, for sure. Mayor Bailey
said and I guess on the part that they have another neighborhood, so.
Commissioner Bigham said and that’s what the Open House was saying, too, they overwhelmingly wanted A. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 8 of 16
Mayor Bailey said and I definitely think to your point of having the median is important because whatever you’re
planning to do with pedestrian crossing abilities, that gives them a safe haven in the middle, so to speak, the
crosswalks or whatever.
Council Member Olsen said and I wasn’t advocating for either one, I was simply trying to understand why we
wouldn’t do the curb and gutter on both sides, and if the idea behind that is we may have to expand to a four-way
roadway within a reasonable timeframe, then maybe that makes sense; but like you said, if it’s going to be an
extended timeframe, then absolutely I think A is the better option because it is going to, from aesthetics and just
kind of a clean look to it, I think it makes more sense.
Administrator Levitt said when we put the subdivision in where Craig Woolery lives, in Michael’s Pointe, the big
issue had been lighting the pathway. So, did you guys get feedback from residents on lighting at all? You know,
because we obviously have that one section of pedestrian-scale lighting from 70th into the subdivision, and I was
just wondering if that ever came up.
Commissioner Bigham replied I don't know if they asked about that at the Open House that I recall, that’s a
good point. Lighting is becoming more and more of a conversation because I’m getting, and I haven’t told Wayne
yet, but everybody’s worried about the path right here that we’re redoing, that there’s no light, and people are
going to be coming out of cornfields, I don't know, and it’s dark. I reminded them there will be homes there in a
few years, but the lighting part of it on that path, I don't know if that’s ours or the City’s responsibility.
Wayne replied yeah, when we get through the, pick up referral alternative, then we shift into the detail design,
and that’s where we get into the landscaping. Like, for example, do you want landscaping in the middle of the
median, outside? That scaled lighting, not intersection lighting, but like if you have pedestrian lighting, would be
part of that landscape budget, and that’s where we put in 3% of the project cost to match the City’s 3%, and then
that’d be part of your landscaping budget if you chose to do the lighting with that.
Commissioner Bigham said people are becoming more vocal about wanting lights.
Mayor Bailey said yeah, I would tell you that I was an advocate for lighting at Hardwood. Council Member Olsen
said and it made a world of difference. Mayor Bailey said and the number of people that walk it is quite
substantial, so I could see these trails or along the sides being very much used in the winters.
Kevin asked does the City have like a standard like streetlighting pole that you’ve settled in on, or is it unique
and different for each?
Council Member Olsen replied yeah, we do. Kevin said okay, that will be helpful as we get into it.
Council Member Olsen asked, Jennifer, you mentioned another street where that lighting was successful, do you
remember what that was?
Administrator Levitt replied it’s just right now it’s installed at the Dodge Nature Center property, at 70th and I’m
drawing a blank, is it 67th? We have pedestrian lighting there because there was a big issue when that residential
subdivision went in, they wanted the connectivity, but there was no lighting on that rural section. So, it’s a
complete anomaly, really, in our system, but if you continue down Jamaica, then you get to it.
Mayor Bailey said I think it’ll make a nice tie-in to the Ravine Parkway, also with that park that’s going to be
there. I think it’ll get better usage.
Council Member Olsen replied oh, absolutely, for sure. Well, people feel safer.
Kevin said that’s good feedback, and I’ll just add, too, that we would do a highway-style lighting on roundabouts
and intersections, too; so, it’s definitely not that pedestrian scale, but it will be lit for safety purposes.
Mayor Bailey said now I see on that picture, that’s the Ravine Parkway. We obviously have the other street that’s
to the south from there that goes into that development, we all say where Woolery lives. Is the intent not to have
stop signs there, right? Nothing there except for stopping coming out of that development, correct?
Kevin replied Mayor, correct.
Mayor Bailey said okay, and then are we going to do turn lanes in there? I thought I saw something in the
packet, so there will be turn lanes going into and out of? City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 9 of 16
Kevin replied yep, full turn lanes, and I’m pretty sure there are turn lanes there now, but either way, we would
have left- and right-turn lanes, and then even going, I think it’s southbound, left into the church, there’s not a turn
lane now, but we’re proposing to add one.
Council Member Olsen said and there was a conversation at one time about some kind of pedestrian crossing at
that intersection is the intent, since we’re going to do it up here, that we just?
Commissioner Bigham replied I think that’s going to be done on the 70th Street study next year, or is that 2028?
Kevin replied it’s 2028. Council Member, are you referring to Jamaica Avenue, or?
Council Member Olsen replied no, I was talking the intersection by Michael’s Pointe.
Commissioner Bigham said oh, I thought he was talking about by the church.
Mayor Bailey said so, what I was just talking about.
Council Member Olsen said so when we saw, there was a plan a couple years ago, when we saw the turn lanes
going in to discuss speed and pedestrian crossing, but it looks like the pedestrian crossing piece is being dealt with
up here, on the left, is that correct?
Kevin replied Council Member, it’s actually both. So, we installed, we call it a mid-block crossing between the
two intersections, this one and the one to the south. If we were to put in that median, we would likely perpetuate
that crossing, but we’re not in the detail, it’s all kind of connected, right? If we do stop signs here, we’d want
people crossing here, even with that signal, so we’re going to kind of.
Council Member Olsen said all I remember is there’s a MnDOT attorney who lives in that neighborhood, who
has reached out to me more than once and is pretty persistent about asking those questions.
Administrator Levitt said and I think just for clarification, when Lochridge came in, the residents on 67th Street
Court were complaining because they felt like people were kind of riding down to there because there isn’t that
right-turn lane into the development. And, so, we were saying in 2028, that right-turn lane into the development
would be there without a rear-end situation. And, so, there’s a left turn, but not that right turn into the
subdivision, and that was the issue.
Council Member Olsen replied yep, thank you.
Kevin said all right, I think this is my last slide on this one. So, we’re just looking ahead. The Project Management
Team, which includes City staff, we reviewed feedback from the Open House, and I appreciate all the comments
tonight, too, and then determine the recommended alternative. After that, we’ll be back here, actually, asking the
City Council to formally support that, that’s a big step in our process. MnDOT calls that Municipal Consent, we call
it Conditional Support. So, that will really allow us to move into that Final Design and Right-of-Way Acquisition
phase. We just want to leave you with please submit any feedback on this project or any to your City staff. We
have a Project Team that meets monthly to talk specifically on this project; Paul and I talk a few times a week just
on general other issues and things, so, please, any feedback you have and want to get to our Project Team, we’d
love to see that go through City staff. So, it’s a great way to get good information to us.
Council Member Thiede said just a note on the center median, I guess, you know, making it grass is going to cost
money; were we planning on Xero-scaping it or was there going to be grass?
Kevin replied we defer it to the City, really, on that. You know, if we had a choice, we would put in concrete, and
you don’t have to maintain it, it’s easy, we don’t have our crews stopping there to mow or to spray, but a lot of our
city partners choose to put landscaping in there of any type that they can maintain and own.
Mayor Bailey said what I might suggest, Dave, is let’s see how 80th Street comes out because that’s exactly
what we’re doing there, we’re going to do more of a hardscaping there. Zac has shared some of the info, so I’m
kind of waiting to see how that all looks, but I don’t want it to feel like it’s all just concrete and asphalt, but at the
same time, there is a cost.
Commissioner Bigham said so, the boulevard on the side would have grass, though, so it might offset that look
of too much cement and concrete.
Kevin asked are you doing like colored concrete in the first stage? Mayor Bailey replied yeah, you can see some
of that right now down by Jamaica when we did that development down there, it looks nice.
Council Member Olsen said and I think from a financial perspective, it’s a no brainer. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 10 of 16
Mayor Bailey said yeah, about 15 years ago, Woodbury really started to put in a ton of elaborate landscaping and
medians. They’ve now gone a complete 180, they’ve yanked all of it out, they’ve let it grow pretty wild, and so
we’re struggling now to figure out how we’re going to keep these medians without looking like complete weed
zones.
Commissioner Bigham replied well, when you have all that money and all those projects, Wayne. Wayne replied
yeah, it is something to be thoughtful about.
Mayor Bailey said yeah, and we have all the development happening so we have all the money, and they don’t
have any money.
Commissioner Bigham said well, that is true, but Woodbury has far more projects, contrary to what my
colleague from Woodbury says.
Administrator Levitt said just to be clear, when you say Right-of-Way acquisition, I mean, basically, we have all the
plats with the dedicated, we’re not anticipating there’s any real Right-of-Way other than maybe for a sliver in
Woodbury, at Pioneer Drive. Is that what you’re referring to?
Kevin replied that’s what we’re anticipating, yes. We’re not into the stormwater drainage piece, but I
understand the City has gathered some credits from development, so yeah, it should be a minor amount of Right-
of-Way issue.
Mayor Bailey asked have you been down Jamaica recently? Did you see those monster stormwater things
they’ve got built in? Holy cow! That’s the deepest I think I’ve seen. And even the one on the corner where they did
McHattie’s, when I drove by there since they started doing it, I’m like holy cow, does that?
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, my parents are freaking out; Mayor Bailey said that’s a big change.
Commissioner Bigham said they said they’d leave in the morning and come back at night, and there’s like a bunch
of stuff done. Mayor Bailey said it is amazing.
Kevin said well, that’s it for County Highway 20. I’ll be happy to stand for any more questions, or else we can get
right into County Road 19A.
Council Member Olsen asked at what point in the process do you do that traffic modeling for that four-way
intersection?
Kevin replied Council Member, I think we’re going to look into that now, based on feedback here tonight. I don’t
see much reason to wait.
Mayor Bailey said yeah, let’s do it.
Kevin said yeah, that’s good feedback. Council Member Olsen replied all right, perfect.
Kevin said all right, so, I’m excited to provide an update on County Road 19A/100th Street
Commissioner Bigham said hang on one second. Round of applause for everybody who helped get the $9.6 million.
Everyone applauded. All right, here we go, there we go.
Kevin said all right, perfect. Thanks, Commissioner.
Kevin said well, maybe continuing the theme of Paul and I talking a few times daily here, the Project Team has
made a ton of progress on this project. We are actually here at a final recommended layout for that corridor,
which is what we show on the screen. This is just a really big milestone for us, and I guess I just can’t emphasize
enough how challenging this effort has been to get us here. You know, it’s hard to tell on this layout, but the
amount of utilities paralleling and crossing that railroad corridor, we’re actually proposing two bridges to help with
some of those challenges. So, it’s just a really, really tricky spot, but we’re really happy with the way things are at
right now.
Council Member Thiede asked well, with one being just a utility or being, what are you talking about, where
does the bridge start? Council Member Olsen asked it is sort of a temporary bridge first?
Kevin replied we wouldn’t have to do a temporary bridge, we would do permanent bridges, but part of the
challenge was there’s cement console trunk sewer lines under here, there’s a high profile gas main under here,
and then once you just factor in that height, we need to get up and over that railroad. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 11 of 16
Council Member Thiede asked so it that what that blue is there, that’s above the orange, the picture of the bridge?
Kevin replied the blue is actually a City watermain that will be bored under the railroad as part of this project.
Council Member Thiede said when you’re talking about two bridges, where? I don’t see a visual.
Kevin replied the orange there, yeah, those orange blobs or rectangles, those are the bridges. Council Member
Thiede said so, you’re just saying there are two bridges.
Commissioner Bigham replied there are two separate bridges, and Kevin confirmed that.
Mayor Bailey asked next to each other?
Kevin said yep, very close to each other, but two separate.
Mayor Bailey asked are you thinking one direction this way, one direction that way kind of thing, or what are
you?
Kevin replied no, there are two paired bridges that are right next to each other. Yeah, it’s a really unique design,
and part of that is, the railroad has higher standards on how high you have to be over it. Once we did the math,
when the bridge gets so long, your beams of course get deeper, which means your bridge has to get taller and
much more expensive. So, it was actually quite a bit cheaper to build the two bridges when all things were
considered because we could lower that debt and those beams got more manageable. So, it’s a unique design.
But as Commissioner noted, we’re also really excited about the $9.6 million secured through the Bonding Bill, so
we appreciate everyone’s hard work on that. Of course, it’s not the full $22.5 million that we were asking for, but
it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Kevin said looking ahead here, Washington County Public Works is actually preparing to recommend a County
Board approval of, it’s all in the contract for Final Engineering. We’re teeing that up for July here, we’re hoping to
get it in on July 7, actually, at that meeting. So, stay tuned for that. And once that actually gets in, that’ll put the
County’s investment in this project up to $3.7 million to date. So, we’ve put a lot of time, energy, and money into
getting this project to this point.
Looking ahead, we’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ve got several significant critical path items and many
unknowns for the Project Team to tackle. Right-of-Way acquisition, being led by City staff, is just getting underway,
and we’re not able to really put a project out to bid until that Right-of-Way is in hand, due to the Federal funding
that we’ve secured. Coordination with the railroad will continue. We have submitted preliminary bridge plans to
MnDOT, so that’s the first step in that railroad coordination process, we’ve also met with them a few times and
will continue working with them. We’re considering adding some City stormwater basin excavation into this
contracting project, and of course, the limits of that City frontage road are still being discussed. So, there’s a lot to
figure out, and right now, we’re still pushing hard to get this thing bid in 2027, and we’re predicting a 2027-to-2029
construction schedule right now, but again, we’ve got many critical path items ahead of us that we’re pushing
really hard on. So, that said, we just look forward to continuing to work together and keeping this project rolling
and getting built.
Commissioner Bigham asked so, it’s a two-year construction project?
Kevin replied yep. We’re hoping to start construction in 2027, that may allow us to get out of the ground and
maybe do the bridge work through the winter, when some of that above-ground work can be done, but just the
amount of grading and roadway and stormwater and drainage and City utility, the construction is pretty immense
on this one.
Council Member Olsen asked how are the coordination conversations going with the railroad? I know they can be
somewhat sticky.
Kevin replied they’re going as well as can be expected. I think getting the plan is going to help a lot, right?
Getting those bridge plans reviewed and approved; they won’t even talk to us until we have those Final Bridge
Plans, which is pretty unique, that’s not a normal way we approach projects.
Council Member Olsen said hence the somewhat sticky comment. Railroads have a lot of power, so.
Kevin replied the good news here is we’re going over them and under them, which maybe sounds like bad news,
but at least we’re not crossing at grade, they really don’t like those at-grade crossings. So, we’re hoping that will
help, but I’ll be honest, we haven’t had much luck with the railroad in recent history, so. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 12 of 16
Commissioner Bigham said there’s a project in Oak Park Heights that started in 2015, and it still was not completed
until two years ago, at the end of two years of my second stint back. So, I had a five-year break, and that’s how
long it took.
Council Member Olsen said that’s what makes me nervous about it.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, but that was at grade.
Kevin said I will add, Council Member, we have one of the best railroad teams on this project, TKDA, I don't know if
that’s a firm you’ve heard of, but they contract with the railroad for a lot of work, and we have a team on this
project that has done railroad-crossing projects across the State and country. So, we think it’ll be great, we have
the best team in the State working on this right now and have been for the past year, through this preliminary
phase. So, they’re engaged, they’re actually ready to hit the ground running when that contract gets approved,
and we’re still spending the last few dollars on that preliminary contract, so we’re still bouncing things off them as
we speak.
Council Member Olsen said thank you, I appreciate that.
Mayor Bailey said I know initially, when we kind of did the Memo of Understanding between the City and the
County, I think the original number was we were going to bid in December of this year. What’s changed in that
process?
Kevin replied I think a lot has changed. You know, we lost about a year just kind of waiting, the County and City
stepped up to fund that design contract. Some of the City utilities going under that railroad are going to add some
complications, and that kind of led to some of the design challenges that held us back. It’s just part of the process
to get here.
Mayor Bailey said the reason I’m asking is it says bidding in 2027, not any date if you will, what ends up
happening is we don’t have a month of blah, it’s all of a sudden December of 2027 vs. January of 2027; do you
follow what I’m saying?
Kevin replied I do.
Mayor Bailey said and I do know, because we’ve heard it from multiple developers and users that want to be in
this stretch, but they’re waiting for us, and when I say us, the City and you guys, right? And, so, the longer we
delay, the less likely or the more challenging it’d be to get some of these businesses in the ground. So, that’s why
I’m asking, and I know we’ve got our piece that we’ve got to deal with, like with Langdon, that extension road that
you’re talking about. I just wanted to better understand, you know, like the environmental stuff that still needs to
be done, the bidding, and all that kind of stuff.
Council Member Thiede asked so what is the most danger to the critical path on this, the railroad stuff, or?
Mayor Bailey replied there’s three things that were challenging in this project: 1) You kind of mentioned it, we
lost about a year because there was a lot of unknowns with funding, and so we couldn’t continue to move forward,
as we didn’t have the dollars to do it. We kept it going as best as we could, but we lost about a year there. 2) The
railroad coordination is a total unknown. Even if I gave you a date today, it’s really not in our hands until we can
get more dialed in and have them get our plans in front of the railroad and see how they react to it. 3) Right-of-
Way Acquisition: Emily, you also said the City would have Right-of-Way in hand by December of last year. We
cannot go into bid under the Federal process until we have a Right-of-Way certificate. So, that’s a critical path,
we’ve got to get the Right-of-Way secured. There’s pieces that you guys agreed to get, there’s pieces we know we
have to buy as well.
So, those are the three main components of what’s going to ultimately decide when we go out to bid. And, right
now, sitting here, I don't know if we could promise a date. We have to kind of figure it out.
Administrator Levitt said we couldn’t go with the Right-of-Way until the Final Design was agreed upon. So,
literally, until this month, we couldn’t start right away.
Commissioner Bigham asked whose Right-of-Way are we; is it 3M, I mean, like whose? Mayor Bailey replied
anybody along that, but 3M is the main one. Commissioner Bigham replied okay.
Kevin replied 3M is the main one on the Right-of-Way, yeah. Most of this land is owned by 3M. We are starting
to work with developing a plat that will work with 3M to hopefully dedicate the land here and set them up to then City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 13 of 16
plat the land for development and so forth. So, that process is starting, we have some concepts that I should see
within the next couple days here, and hopefully, in the next week or two, we can start having some preliminary
conversations with 3M on what that platting process looks like.
Mayor Bailey asked have they seen any of this yet?
Kevin replied yes. In fact, I thought they’ve been fairly involved with this, and we’ve even had quite a few
conversations with 3M, even to get to this point.
Administrator Levitt said we meet with them once a month, and so they’ve gotten all the iterations, but we
couldn’t do the platting until we had a final Right-of-Way actually nailed down to actually know what we have for
permanent easement and platting.
Mayor Bailey said so, we have that now, that’s what you’re talking about?
Wayne replied that was what you saw, yeah, with the exception of that Langdon property. I think from the
security aspect, we really can’t let all the traffic going down to the 3M gate.
Mayor Bailey said well, and they’re going to be the big player.
Wayne said I guess they’re the developer on it, too.
Kevin said and, Mayor, just to conceptualize, like Wayne said, we’d love to show you a year or a month, but there’s
just too many unknowns right now. What I can tell you is the teams will be ready to go when the agenda is
approved. It’s a $2 million consultant contract, and this will be full speed ahead, so. We’re doing everything that
we can, but right now, given what we know and don’t know, it’s just too hard to compute actual dates right now.
Mayor Bailey asked can we make sure that from out standpoint, I’m sure with Karla on hers, can we keep in
touch as this goes forward? Just as an example for you guys, a while back there was a situation with 3M on storage
trucks, and we asked for monthly updates on where were you at with getting those contaminated trucks off their
site, and they were really good about keeping us up to date and so on. The only reason I say it, I know it’s a
horrible, I’m not talking about you guys, but my point is it would be nice to kind of get frequent updates now so
that we kind of understand; because this is going to be, obviously it’s a big deal for you guys, and we do appreciate
the partnership, but it’s definitely going to be something huge for the County, but for Cottage Grove when it
comes to the type of development and opening up Langdon, in our case. I mean, we literally even, when we were
just out in Vegas, had a big commercial end user that said, yeah, I want that spot there, and I can bring these with
me, and it’s like wow.
Kevin said well, a similar story. We have a Project Team that meets monthly, and that includes City staff. Paul
will set you up with what you need, or feel free to reach out.
Mayor Bailey said if there’s something that’s screwing things up one way or the other, let’s figure it out, so that
we’re all on the same page, and we can get it done sooner than later.
Kevin said yeah, I think, Mayor, if there’s any railroad contacts or push that you can lean on, we would take that,
but we just haven’t even gotten to a point yet where we can start having detailed discussions, so. Yeah, we will
absolutely commit to that.
Mayor Bailey asked so, you’re about to go to the, you guys, then, on the Board for approval for the?
Commissioner Bigham replied for the engineering contract, Final Engineering Contract, the first meeting in July,
so right after the Fourth, we’ll do that. And then that will get the Final Engineering and things, that’ll more than
likely be a 4-to-1 vote, but that’s okay, it’ll still pass.
Mayor Bailey asked what do you have to do environmentally yet? I’m just curious.
Kevin replied yeah, because of the Federal funding, we have to do an environmental document, a CATX EAW.
It’s already started, and then the team is planning to submit that draft in December to keep us on schedule for any
2027 instructions. I don’t want to say it’s a standard thing, but it’s a pretty standard environmental process.
Mayor Bailey said yes, so, it isn’t something that would stop it though, per se?
Kevin replied no, but it’s similar, we just don’t know what we don’t know yet. There is a public process. We
know there’s an eagle’s nest out there, so I can’t even. Mayor Bailey said there are some wetland impacts. Kevin
said there are wetland impacts, so it’s just another thing we don’t want to rush, we want to do it right, but we also
want to meet that schedule. Our team has already, through that consultant contract, has not yet approved, City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 14 of 16
committed to getting that draft submitted in December, which is actually a pretty big deadline from a bidding
standpoint in 2027. So, we’re already starting those wheels in motion, but it is still a process.
Mayor Bailey said and so on the fund side of this, I’m assuming when we finally say this is the date we’re going to
break ground, that we’re going to have one heck of a gathering with our Federal, or the State?
Commissioner Bigham replied with the State, we’ll have a big old party. So, if we could try to not make it in
February or March. Mayor Bailey said well no, I was hoping it would be sooner but whatever.
Paul asked you want a groundbreaking, or a ribbon cutting, or both?
Mayor Bailey replied well, I think both, but I think groundbreaking for sure. I mean everybody that’s provided
help for funding, I think we need to invite. Commissioner Bigham agreed. Mayor Bailey said now, whether they’ll
all come, I doubt, but it will be after elections, obviously, so there could be some changes, and maybe somebody
who has helped us or might help us get money might become a governor or a senator, you know? We still have a
Bill Grant app in, right? We haven’t heard anything on that?
Kevin replied no, Bill grant announcements, I believe are end of the month.
Commissioner Bigham said and then we still have the congressional-directed funding, so.
Mayor Bailey said and you weren’t in here, they were asking if we were going to the fly-in, and I said yes.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah. Mayor Bailey said but there is a feeling out there that there’s going to be some
money available because, depending on who’s going to be, so we might be able to get some of this extra money
that will help finish up this circle.
Paul said right. If you can frame it as a separate project from this or an add-on, not the same project, that’s the
feel that we’ve gotten is that we’ve asked for this same project multiple times.
Commissioner Bigham said and obviously, who’s going with you, Ryan? Mayor Bailey replied Ryan.
Commissioner Bigham asked and then you two are both going with us at the fly-in? That was confirmed.
Commissioner Bigham said maybe between the two of us we could call Madeleine from Angie’s office and talk to
her, and then maybe obviously do some talking points and document for the meetings that we have with people to
reflect kind of what Wayne was saying, is like this is a supplemental project to it.
Mayor Bailey said we probably could put something together on our side on that.
Commissioner Bigham said I don’t want to throw like a loop into this, but is there any discussion, maybe not
tonight, but food for thought to approach MnDOT about replacing the Innovation bridge during this time?
Paul replied I’ve been talking with MnDOT on that, and they don’t see it in the next ten years or more.
Commissioner Bigham said I know that’s what Adam said, but something tells me if there’s, I mean, there’s at
least three times it’s been hit, and that has been within the last 12 years. So, I’ve got to believe that if it gets hit
one more time, then we have reason to believe it probably will. Statistics don’t have anything to do with it. They
probably would want to, we’ve been lucky that there hasn’t been a fatality as a result of hitting that bridge; but
every time its down for a minimum of a week or so, and so I’m just wondering if it isn’t worth at some point, and I
think we’re going to be having a meeting with MnDOT about Highway 61, 70th, and just the corridor.
Mayor Bailey said the reasoning they had, when we brought it up to Connie, even last week, we got the same
reaction Paul got, they said its not on their radar, its not a priority for them, they have no plan to replace that
bridge.
Commissioner Bigham said nothing on Highway 61 is a priority for MnDOT, and it’s unfortunate.
Mayor Bailey said I think it’s interesting, too, because the director that’s there at the meetings always tells us
how many fatalities there have been across the State, and it hasn’t been (knocks on wood) that many, but
proportionately, the deaths on Highway 61 are high.
Commissioner Bigham said yes, if you look at the amount of traffic vs. the fatalities, it’s high, and it’s because
it’s out of, there’s just too much congestion for the design of it. And the other thing I’ll say and I know I don’t like
bringing up Kwik Trips, because everybody asks you when they’re opening, but that location down on Manning and
Highway 61 is not a good location, and it’s not because of you guys, it’s because of MnDOT. And like they really
handicapped, without having a vision, their options to fix that area there; and I’m not an engineer, but it’s from
somebody who’s lived here for 47 years, you can pretty much see the traffic and the design and the growth, and
who the hell knows what’s going to happen down on Gene Smallidge’s farm, and, I mean, if that happens. City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 15 of 16
Council Member Olsen said and there’s a golf course down there, too.
Mayor Bailey said I guess my question for you, then, when you guys were meeting with them on Highway 61, is
that something we’re part of or should we be a part of?
Wayne replied this was a meeting with just Washington County, we had a list of things that we wanted to talk to
them about. Mayor Bailey said okay, other than Highway 61? Paul replied yeah. One of the things we did ask them,
though, was about the Innovation bridge, but also, in general, where’s the vision for Highway 61? We have no
vision, right? So, where everyone’s reacting constantly, the road has become very unsafe, it doesn’t feel safe to
drive it, and we said that’s something you guys have to figure out and come back to us with.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, I think Wayne’s going to be emailing Cottage Grove, Newport, and St. Paul
Park, and probably Rick Hansen, I forgot to add that, about 70th; and then I think based on my conversations with
all three mayors, I think having like a coordinated concern about the corridor is important, so that they will go
ahead and.
Mayor Bailey said I think it’s interesting, so I’ll just, Jennifer doesn’t even know this yet, because I was just going
through my emails before coming to the meeting tonight, some of the answers that I haven’t gotten to, and I have
three separate emails in there from homeowners in the area, on East Point Douglas there, asking if we’re ever
considering a sound wall.
Council Member Olsen said yeah, I have one of those, too.
Council Member Thiede asked at what point?
Council Member Olsen replied now.
Commissioner Bigham said and they’ve always asked for that.
Mayor Bailey said oh, just where the homes are. So, like basically where the apartments are coming down to
like where that auto dealership is on East Point Douglas Road.
Council Member Thiede said okay.
Commissioner Bigham said yeah, they’ve asked for that for years, and MnDOT never will do anything.
Mayor Bailey said well, we were on the list, they were going to do it, we qualified for it, but we did a survey of
the neighbors in that area and it was not.
Council Member Thiede said that’s the same one that we looked at before, and the issues with the lights across
the.
Mayor Bailey said now I think with the traffic and all the stuff that you were just talking about on Highway 61, I
totally agree with you. Things have changed, and that might be something we’re going to need to take a look at,
because we were on the priority list with them, but I know there’s a City cost in that, too, am I correct?
Kevin replied yes.
Mayor Bailey said so that’s why we just said, well, at the time, we couldn’t get a consensus from the neighbors,
and we weren’t going to spend the extra money without.
Commissioner Bigham said maybe we could get something for late July or early August with them, and we can
always have you in on the phone or something, too, listening in, if you can’t make it in person. Mayor Bailey said
we’ll figure it out. Commissioner Bigham said or have your staff there, but I do think having like all the mayors,
myself, and engineer staff saying we can’t ignore this any longer, and you’re going to have to at least put together
some sort of vision; and this stemmed from the Manning fight, right, but we’re doing Bailey this year and Manning,
70th and Manning next year, and then we get to Highway 61 and it’s like what are you doing there now? We don’t
have any plan for Highway 61, and we don’t even know how to fix it; “Great guys, thanks, appreciate that,” that
was their answer to me at the Open House here for 80th Street.
Mayor Bailey said all right. Anything else?
Wayne said a little brief note, we’re having some mold issues at the library.
Council Member Thiede asked we do?
Wayne replied yes, well, we did some destructive testing on the predesign, and everything came back good, so
we salvaged all those walls, right? That was a big cost savings. They started tearing down the ones that they were
going to remove and they found mold. In all the years we ran that library, we never had any moisture concerns, City Council Special Meeting Minutes
June 17, 2026
Page 16 of 16
never any indication, but between the wall system developed in the ‘80s, it was quite moldy back there. So, we
brought that firm back and they reassessed, and they said you can maybe salvage, you know, 20 feet of it, but the
rest they recommend complete removal. So, we’ve got a workshop with the Board next week to go over the
Change Order, there’ll be a $1.2 million Change Order. The good news is the bids came in $2 million below, so we
have the money in the budget, we never gave that money up. It’s going to change the look of the building, too,
because we would tear all of that external wall down and probably not replace it with the same brick. So, I think
that’s part of the conversation is what is it going to look like? And we’re going to work with your team, Emily, and
your team there to make sure it’s done right.
Administrator Levitt asked how much will that slow the progress down? I mean, are you going to lose funding?
Wayne replied it might, I think we’re pushing to make a decision quickly here so we can keep as close on
schedule as possible. Demolition shouldn’t be a big issue, I think the bigger question is what are we going to
replace it with? The team has got some recommendations, so the architect’s on board with some
recommendations.
Commissioner Bigham said and the external stuff, the City, you guys approved the external stuff, right, don’t
they?
Wayne replied yeah, yep.
Mayor Bailey said all right, thanks, guys. We needed to know what we’re doing.
Council Member Olsen said thank you.

TRAINING ROOM - 5:30 P.M
1. CALL TO ORDER
The City Council Special Meeting Budget Workshop was called to order at 5:30 PM by Mayor Bailey in the
Training Room.
• Purpose: To review departmental operational budgets, key financial risk factors, and capital
improvement projections for the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget.
• Next Steps: Additional budget discussions scheduled for July 29, 2026; preliminary tax levy adoption
set for September 2, 2026; final budget and levy public hearing set for December 2, 2026.
2. ROLL CALL
Tammy Anderson, City Clerk, took the roll: Mayor Bailey; Council Member Clausen; Council Member Garza;
Council Member Olsen; Council Member Thiede, all present.
3. 2027 BUDGET OVERVIEW & STRATEGIC BALANCING
Staff presented the overall strategy to maintain the preliminary tax levy increase at the Council’s 9.6%
target. To achieve this baseline, several cost-mitigation strategies (“budget levers”) were implemented:
• Insurance Offsets: Savings within the Workers’ Compensation fund were applied to absorb an
estimated 24% market rate increase in general property, casualty, and health insurance.
• Dorm Renovation Funding: Renovation of the Central Fire Station dorms (estimated at $375,000) is
proposed to be funded using funds in the Future Projects Fund related to the HERO Center, avoiding
new debt or levy impact.
• Fund Shifts: Replacement of garbage cans with refuse carts in the public parks was shifted from the
General Fund to the Park Improvement Fund.
• Position & Vacancy Management:
o Recruitment for the full-time HR Director position was formally deferred to 2028.
o A Police Officer vacancy will be held open for 8 months in 2027 to help absorb regional EMS
operational shortfalls.
• Revenue & Transfer Adjustments: Reallocated GIS developer revenues to the General Fund, utilized
available debt service balances, increased Franchise Fee fund allocations to engineering by 2%, and
applied an updated fee schedule across building, licensing, and recreation (generating +$66,000).
4. CRITICAL FINANCIAL RISKS & LIABILITIES
Staff provided an in-depth review of four primary financial headwinds facing the city:
1. Ice Arena Cash Deficit ($472,000): The deficit cash balance was driven by past debt, pandemic
closures, and mechanical failures in the refrigeration system. Staff recommended using one-time
cash through 2026–2028 and establishing a dedicated capital levy in 2028 to restore long-term
stability.
2. EMS Operational Revenue Shortfall ($400,000): Resulting from structural shifts in service area
arrangements. Operational adjustments are expected to bridge this gap, with full revenue
stabilization anticipated within 3 years.
3. MPCA / Attorney General Land Acquisition Repayment ($1.4 Million): State agencies requested
repayment regarding past land acquisitions tied to 3M settlement funds. Staff and legal counsel are
negotiating a long-term repayment schedule to avoid a significant property tax levy impact.
City Council Meeting Minutes
July 22, 2026
Page 2 of 3
4. Collective Bargaining Exposure : Four union contracts remain under active negotiation,
representing an unbudgeted liability across affected departments.
• General Fund Reserve: The estimated General Fund balance sits at 46.85%, remaining within the City’s
target policy range of 45%–55%.
5. DEPARTMENTAL PRESENTATIONS & POLICY DISCUSSIONS
During the budget workshop, department heads presented their operational priorities, cost pressures, and
proposed budget adjustments to align with the city's 9.6% levy target. Community Development highlighted
steady single-family housing growth and a robust 418-unit multi-family pipeline, proposing a revenue-
neutral transition for code enforcement and reviewing EAB management options. Public Works addressed
inflationary pressures across asphalt, utilities, and maintenance while demonstrating cost savings through
winter salt precision spreaders. Additionally, staff outlined strategies for enterprise operations, including
golf course self-sufficiency and a phased financial stabilization plan for the Ice Arena—alongside fee
schedule updates, and scheduled capital equipment replacements.
A. Community Development
Schmitz presented updates on local development activity and core departmental priorities, noting
steady single-family housing growth alongside an expanding multi-family pipeline. The presentation
detailed operational adjustments, including a revenue-neutral proposal to transition seasonal code
enforcement to full-time status, as well as an overview of regional Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
management strategies and local policy considerations.
• Growth Projections: Single-family residential growth remains steady at 250 units/year.
Multi-family development pipeline includes 418 units planned for 2027–2028 (including
Yellow Tree and Roers projects).
• Code Enforcement: Proposed transitioning the seasonal Code Enforcement Officer to full-
time, offset entirely by rental licensing revenue (net-zero levy impact).
• Emerald Ash Borer (EAB): Staff clarified that private-property tree removal subsidies are not
funded in the 9.6% baseline budget. Council discussed potential special assessment loan
programs as a future option.
B. Public Works & Infrastructure
Public Works outlined significant market-driven inflationary pressures across utilities, asphalt, facility
maintenance, and contracted services. Despite these budget challenges, staff highlighted proactive
cost-containment measures—such as salt-reduction technologies in winter operations—alongside
targeted budget requests for facility upkeep, stenciling, engineering software, and stormwater
management.
• Operational Cost Drivers: High inflation reported across contractual services, utilities
(+4.3%), facility maintenance (+9.5%), and asphalt pricing (+7%).
• Winter Operations Efficiency: Despite a $40,700 price hike in bulk salt contracts, the
installation of precision spreaders across all 14 plow trucks successfully reduced total salt
consumption by an estimated 20%.
• Key Budget Requests:
o $21,000 for City Hall garage ceiling deep cleaning.
o $9,800 for firefighter dorm mattress replacements at Central Fire.
o $35,190 for street stencil replacements (funded via internal 2026 savings or
contingency).
o Stormwater Fund: Proposed 6% rate increase and a 6-month seasonal staff position
for catch-basin maintenance.
C. Parks, Recreation, Ice Arena & River Oaks
Staff reviewed operational strategies within Parks and Recreation designed to relieve pressure on the
General Fund while updating revenue streams. Discussions focused on shifting specific park
replacement expenses (garbage carts) to the Park Improvement Fund, as well as adjusting the broader
city fee schedule for recreation programs and facility usage to support fiscal targets. The council
received a detailed report on the Ice Arena’s financial standing, focusing on the root causes of its City Council Meeting Minutes
July 22, 2026
Page 3 of 3
current operating deficit. Staff presented a phased, multi-year recovery plan to stabilize the facility's
cash position through internal fund transfers before transitioning to a long-term capital funding
model. Staff presented an operational review of River Oaks Golf Course, focusing on its enterprise
performance, course maintenance schedules, and facility operations. The presentation highlighted
strategies to ensure clubhouse and concession self-sufficiency while maintaining the course’s long-
term capital assets in line with the Business Plan and financial objectives.
• Parks Improvement Fund Shift: Shifted the replacement of the garbage cans to refuse carts
from the General Fund and into the Park Improvement Fund to relieve operational pressure
on the property tax levy.
• Recreation Fee Structure: Reviewed proposed updates to recreational programming, user
fees, and facility rentals designed to generate additional revenue (7.97% increase over the
2026 budget).
• Ice Arena Operations: Reviewed operational challenges associated with the approximate
$470,000 cash deficit caused by historical debt, pandemic closures, and refrigeration repairs.
Staff presented a phased recovery approach utilizing internal fund balance transfers through
2026–2028, leading into a dedicated capital levy implementation in 2028.
• River Oaks Golf Course Operations:
o Reviewed the enterprise fund performance, operational strategy, and capital
improvement needs for the River Oaks Golf Course.
o Evaluated course maintenance budgets, clubhouse/concession operations, and
long-term capital needs to ensure self-sufficiency and align enterprise operations
with overall city financial targets.
D. Equipment Replacement Fund
Staff reviewed the multi-year schedule for fleet vehicles and heavy equipment replacements. The
presentation emphasized maintaining long-term replacement cycles through internal service funds
without creating additional demands on the General Fund tax levy.
• Fleet & Capital Purchases: Reviewed scheduled vehicle and equipment replacements across
public safety, public works, and parks departments.
• Funding Strategy: Equipment purchases will be funded with the existing Equipment
Replacement Fund balances and current property tax levy, aligning with the city’s long-term
Financial Management.
6. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CIP) & DEBT SERVICE
Staff presented an overview of the multi-year Capital Improvement Program, outlining major infrastructure
investments, planned debt issuance, and strategic project timing. The discussion focused on balancing
critical road and park developments in 2027 while managing long-term debt capacity and intergovernmental
commitments for 2028 and beyond.
• 2027 Planned Bond Issuance ($10 Million Total): Major projects include East Point Douglas Road
pavement management ($4.8M), Dunes Park development ($2.8M), and initial engineering for
the 100th Street corridor.
• 2028 CIP Outlook: Local pavement management funding will be reduced to $1.0M in 2028 due to
a $3.0M local commitment toward the Jamaica Avenue project (70th St to Military Rd) in
partnership with Washington County.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
Cottage Grove Historic Webpage
Planner Max Erickson discussed the idea of updating the City’s webpage for historic preservation.
Several options were presented, which included examples from other cities on what they do for their
preservation website. It was suggested to create individual pages for each resource or a mapping
source for existing registered and priority historic sites in Cottage Grove.
Ideas were shared including adding a page for who lived in Cottage Grove and why they were
important. This could also include adding a timeline or history of Cottage Grove with people or
places. It was discussed that we could add forms that are used for nominating places for the historic
register. It was discussed that there can be a spot for public input.
First step would be to create the framework for the site and then implement more robust ideas later
once it is well established.
The Committee gave approval to move forward with the tentative plan as discussed.
PROJECT UPDATES – VERBAL UPDATES
Old Town Hall Update
Erickson gave an update for Mr. Jones who has agreed to conduct a complete evaluation of the
building, outline aspects of the structure that contribute to the historic integrity, and provide a plan for
repairing the structure. Photos were shared with what Jake Jones has discovered in the Old Town Hall.
He found old writing in the walls, came across the old crawlspace location, and indicated that there was
some fire damage that may have been the original spot where the wood stove sat.
Cedarhurst Update
Erickson gave an update for the Cedarhurst Mansion construction. A slide show was presented
indicating the current state of construction.
Marie Sumstine asked if the Cedarhurst owners will replant roses in the rose garden. Councilmember

From: Tamara Anderson, City Clerk
Date: August 10, 2026
Subject: Planning Commission Appointment - Koerner
Discussion
Councilmember Olsen, serving as the Council Liaison for the Planning Commission for 2026,
interviewed Pete Koerner for a vacant seat on the Planning Commission and recommends his
appointment.
Because this appointment occurs mid-year, Minnesota Statute § 462.354 allows local rules to
govern the vacancy. Under Cottage Grove City Ordinance (Section 2-1-2), filling an unexpired
partial term of less than one year does not count toward standard term limits. Mr. Koerner will
finish this year ending on February 28, 2027, and then be eligible for a maximum of four full 2-
year terms per city policy.
Mr. Koerner brings a vital public safety perspective to local development initiatives from his 30-
year career with the Cottage Grove public safety department where he recently retired as the
Police Chief. He will work to ensure that future infrastructure, commercial and industrial areas,
and residential neighborhoods are designed to deter crime, continuing to bridge the gap
between city planning and public safety and will foster a more cohesive community.

Subject: 2027 - 2028 Police Officers Labor Contract
Introduction
The City and the Police Officers labor union have tentatively agreed to 2027 - 2028 labor
agreement, subject to City Council approval.
Background
Management staff and representatives of the labor union met on four occasions and were
successful in reaching a two-year tentative agreement for 2027 - 2028, subject to City Council
approval.
Wages
The contract calls for a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of 3.5% in each of the two years.
A field training officer (FTO) will get 1.25 hours of overtime for each shift they work with a trainee.
This is an increase from 1 hour of overtime.
A Senior Officer pay differential of 3% has been added to the contract as a pilot program. Up to
4 Officers, two per night crew, are eligible for this pay during the work hours of 7:30 PM and 6:00
AM. The Officers must be specifically selected by the Public Safety Director and meet the
requirements of the Senior Officer policy.
Short-term Disability
Language was added to the contract, so the short-term disability policy coordinates with the new
MN Paid Leave law.
Uniform Allowance
The annual uniform allowance will increase 3.0% per year for each employee.
Other Provisions
Attorney Susan Hansen is assisting the City with negotiations this year. This is her first
year working with the City. As such, she recommended several updates to provisions in
the labor contract that both sides agreed to. They include Employer Authority, Employee
Rights – Grievance Procedure, Discipline, MN Paid Leave, ESST and Benefits.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending Council approve the 2027 - 2028 labor contract with the Police Officers
union. All wage and benefits costs have been budgeted for in the 2027 budget.

Subject: 2027 - 2028 Sergeants Labor Contract
Introduction
The City and the Sergeants labor union have tentatively agreed to 2027 - 2028 labor agreement,
subject to City Council approval.
Background
Management staff and representatives of the labor union met on two occasions and were
successful in reaching a two-year tentative agreement for 2027 - 2028, subject to City Council
approval.
Wages
The contract calls for a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of 3.5% in each of the two years. The
external comparable wage data calls for a 1.5% market adjustment and is implemented into the
wage scale for 2027. A 1% 7-year wage step is added to the wage scale starting July 1, 2028.
Short-term Disability
Language was updated to reflect that the Sergeants will receive the same benefits as non-
represented employees as detailed in the Personnel Policy.
Uniform Allowance
The annual uniform allowance will increase 3.0% per year for each employee.
Language is also added to give Sergeants assigned to SWAT an extra $250 per year and
Sergeants assigned to Mobile Field Force an extra $200 per year. This reflects the same
amounts the Police Officers received in their 2025-2026 contract.
Other Provisions
Attorney Susan Hansen is assisting the City with negotiations this year. This is her first
year working with the City. As such, she recommended several updates to provisions in
the labor contract that both sides agreed to. They include Employer Authority, Employee
Rights – Grievance Procedure, Discipline, MN Paid Leave, ESST, Benefits, adding a
complete agreement clause and removing the tuition reimbursement appendix.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending Council approve the 2027 - 2028 labor contract with the Sergeants
union. All wage and benefits costs have been budgeted for in the 2027 budget.

decision shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days following close of
the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever be later,
unless the parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be binding on
both the City and the employee and shall be based solely on the arbitrator's
interpretation or application of the express terms of this Agreement and to the
facts of the grievance presented.
C. The fees and expenses for this arbitrator's services and proceedings shall be
borne equally by the City and the Union, provided that each party shall be
responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses. If either
party desires a verbatim record of the proceedings, it may cause such a

verbatim record of the proceedings, the cost shall be shared equally.
7.6 Waiver: If a grievance is not presented within the time limits set forth above, it shall
be considered waived. If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the
specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on
the basis of the City's last answer. If the City does not answer a grievance or an
appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the employee may elect to treat the
grievance as denied at that step and immediately appeal the grievance to the next
step. The time limit in each step may be extended by mutual agreement of the City
and the employee.
Election of Remedies. In the event more than one procedure is available for
resolution of a grievance arising under this Agreement, the aggrieved employee(s)
shall be limited to one procedure through which remedy may be sought. If as a

RE: Mississippi Dunes Estates – Buffer Plantings
Proposal
Request for execution of a professional service agreement to install buffer trees within private
property located on lots 5 through 12, Block 3 in Mississippi Dunes Estates 2nd Addition.
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt
Mississippi Dunes 2nd Addition - Buffer Tree Plantings
August 19, 2026
Page 2 of 6
Background
Lennar received Preliminary Plat approval March 18, 2026, for a Plat called Talcott Glen to include
177 single family lots. The Preliminary Plat was approved for a parcel of land approximately 69.5
acres in size generally located west of 95th Street and Mississippi Dunes Boulevard. As part of
development, it is necessary to extend 95th Street westward to provide primary access to the
development.
The 95th Street right-of-way was deeded to the city as part of the Summer’s Landing 5th Addition
plat in 2021 for the purpose of the future extension of 95th Street. This extension is listed as a
future road in the 2040 comprehensive plan and has been anticipated to be constructed at time
of proposed development of the parcel to the west of the Summers Landing development.
The current alignment of 95th Street right-of-way is based on a scoping study conducted in 2005.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the options to serve further development west of
Mississippi Dunes Boulevard and potential extension to the west over the BNSF Railroad track.
Three options were considered within the study as generally shown below. All options would have
required either the dedication of right-of-way and/or development to trigger the construction of the
95th Street between Mississippi Dunes Boulevard and the railroad.
2005 Scoping Study Options
At about the same time as the 95th Street analysis was occurring the Mississippi Dunes Estates
2nd Addition (west side of Mississippi Dunes Boulevard) was approved. The development
agreement for Mississippi Dunes Estates 2nd Addition required that Lots 5 through 12, Block 3
(properties which border the future westward extension of 95th Street) were to be restricted from
being built until 95th Street alignment was determined and constructed between Mississippi
Dunes Boulevard and the western property boundary. This was done to give the city time to
determine the final alignment and ensure that grading would not impact these lots. Following the
evaluation of the 95th Street Scoping Study it was determined that future development would be
needed to drive the alignment and construction of 95th Street west of Mississippi Dunes
Boulevard. As Lots 5 through 12 remained undeveloped, the Developer of Mississippi Dunes Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt
Mississippi Dunes 2nd Addition - Buffer Tree Plantings
August 19, 2026
Page 3 of 6
Estates 2nd Addition approached the city regarding the removal of the building restriction placed
on these lots.
In 2009, a temporary construction easement was established over those lots allowing for them to
be built on while also preserving areas for grading at such time 95th Street were to be constructed
to the west. Unlike Mississippi Dunes 1st addition, additional private buffering trees were not
planted on the 2nd addition lots adjacent to the future 95th roadway at the time of development. It
was determined that privacy trees planted within potential construction grading limits would be
compromised at the time of construction of 95th Street and any buffer trees required on these lots
were left unplanted.
Lots 5-12 Block 3 of Mississippi Dunes Estates 2nd Addition
As a courtesy for the buffer trees that were not installed at the time of the development, the city
has worked with these property owners to provide buffer plantings similar to those planted within
private lots in the Mississippi Dunes Development to the east south of the existing 95th Street.
Considerations
A drainage and utility easement exists across lots 8 through 11 which will require trees to be at
least 10ft from the storm sewer pipe. This provides limits in planting in the rear yards, and an
appropriate species has been proposed to compensate for tighter growing boundaries that are
restricted by the storm sewer pipe and easement location. Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt

Temporary Construction Easement Location
The city met with property owners to discuss their desired species to be planted. A landscape
plan was completed and approved by the city and the property owners.
Landscape Plan for Lots 5-12
The final landscape plan was provided to two contractors for quotes. Each quote pricing included
purchasing and labor for installing trees with known obstacles (fencing, pools, irrigation etc.) on
each property. The tree locations will be staked prior to installation and property owners are
required to move irrigation as needed. Each quote utilizes the standard period of a 1-year warranty
for the survivability of trees planted. The following quotations were received:
Hoffman & McNamara Nursery and Landscape $54,708.00
Wilson’s Nursery $31,965.00
Budget Implications
The estimated cost to install these trees is $31,965.00 which will come out of the Future Projects
Fund. This cost will be reimbursed through the Development Agreement for the Talcott Glen Final
Plat.

Subject: Acquisition of property - WAG
Background/ Discussion
The Cottage Grove EDA approved a purchase agreement with Tradehome Shoes on April 14,
2026 for the purchase of approximately 13.1 acres of land at the intersection Jamaica Avenue
S and 97th Street S.
The vacant land is zoned I1 and project details for Tradehome Shoes are in development.
Tradehome Shoes currently occupies an adjacent building at 8300 97th Street South. The map
below shows the location of the property to be purchased.
The land within the parcel is owned by Glendenning Farms, L.P., a Minnesota limited
partnership, WAG Farms, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and Joan Glendenning Kennedy Family
Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership (individually and collectively “WAG”).
Historically, all land in the Business Park has been sold to the EDA and then sold to end user,
allowing for cost recovery to make the site pad ready.
A second parcel (outlined in green and blue) is also owned by WAG. However, this site is not
completely developable. This property would be better serviced for drainage needs of the City.
The EDA will purchase the 13.1 acres site will be sold to Tradehome Shoes (THS Overtime,
LLC), and the second 2.0 acres site will be retained by the City for drainage purposes.
The agreed upon price is $0.90 per square foot with a total acquisition cost to the City of $78,408.
The water fund will be the funding source for the acquisition. Closing is anticipated to occur on
October 31, 2026, which is when the closing is anticipated for the Tradehome Shoes transaction.

Date: August 19, 2026
Subject: Lehigh Road South Culvert Replacement Project
Introduction/Background
The Public Works Department has identified culverts on Lehigh Road South that have
deteriorated to the point where they are no longer considered usable for continued service.
The existing culverts have experienced significant degradation over time, resulting in concerns
regarding their structural integrity.
As a result of the culvert failures, voids have developed beneath the existing roadway, creating
sinkholes within the existing road surface. These sinkholes present an ongoing concern for
roadway stability and public safety. Continued deterioration of the culverts and the resulting
voids beneath the roadway increase the potential for additional roadway settlement and
eventual failure.
City staff solicited quotes from two reputable contractors with experience in culvert
replacement. The following quotations were received:
Dynamic Earth & Civil LLC $37,800
Valley-Rich Co., INC. $39,450
Budget Implications
The estimated cost to replace the culverts on Lehigh Road South is $37,800, which will be
covered by the Stormwater Budget.
Staff Recommendation
Authorize resolution 2026-116 awarding the Lehigh Culvert Replacement Project to Dynamic
Earth & Civil LLC in the amount of $37,800 and authorize the service agreement between
Dynamic Earth & Civil LLC and the City of Cottage Grove.

Termination must be by written or fax notice to Grantee. State is not obligated to pay for any services
that are provided after notice and effective date of termination. However, Grantee will be entitled to
payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed to the extent that funds are

of the Minnesota Legislature, or other funding source, not to appropriate funds. State will provide the
Grantee notice of the lack of funding within a reasonable time of State’s receiving that notice.
Suspension. State may immediately suspend this Agreement in the event of a total or partial government
shutdown due to the failure to have an approved budget by the legal deadline. Work performed by Grantee during
a period of suspension will be deemed unauthorized and undertaken at risk of non-payment.

number, federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax identification number, already provided to
the State, to federal and state tax agencies and state personnel involved in the payment of state obligations. These

1. Final Plat
Background
The Lochridge Development is located south of the Woodbury border, west of Jamaica Avenue
and north of the Waters at Michael’s Pointe development. The preliminary plat consisted of 99
single family lots and 84 townhome lots on approximately 72 acres. The City Council approved
the preliminary plat and zoning amendment for Pulte Homes of Minnesota on February 19, 2025.
Lochridge Preliminary Plat
On May, 21, 2025, the City Council approved the Lochridge final plat, which consisted of 54 single
family lots and 48 townhome lots. The first addition included construction of the segment of Ravine
Parkway within the subdivision and dedication of an outlot for a future park (to be called Peterson
Park). Additionally, a trail corridor was included in the preliminary plat around Lake Robert. The
developer will construct the entirety of the trail. The trail segment on the north side of the lake will
be funded by the developer while the costs for the trail segment on the south side of the lake will
be funded by the City. This cost share structure was included in the Lochridge 1st Addition
Development Agreement. The trail will be constructed as part of a future addition of the Lochridge
development as trail location is finalized. Honorable Mayor, City Council, and Jennifer Levitt

assume all responsibilities relating to snow removal and ice control, if the streets have not been
accepted for winter maintenance as determined by the CITY ENGINEER by October 15, or later if
approved by the CITY’S Public Works Director. CITY will consider the following factors when
considering acceptance for winter maintenance: the status of installation of curb, pavement and wedge.
Completion of the work described in this section shall be completed within fifteen (15) days after

From: Paul Sponholz, PE, City Engineer
Date: August 13, 2026
Re: 9998 90th Street Water Service – Agreement to Construct Lateral Water Line
Execution and Quote Award
Background
The property located at 9998 90th Street South (Christ the Lord Evangelical Lutheran Church)
is being served by a private well that tests over the health-based values for PFAS. In 2005, a
city water main was installed adjacent to this property as part of the Ravine Parkway, 90th
Street South and Keats Avenue Utility and Street Project.
At this time the property owner would like to connect the church to city water for both domestic
service and future fire protection (to accommodate future expansion of their building). The
work associated with the domestic service connection would be fully funded through an
existing MPCA 3M Settlement grant that was executed with the City on October 6, 2025 for
“City of Cottage Grove-3M Water Connections”. This grant is intended to facilitate one-off
connections for properties with wells over the PFAS limits, which is the case with the Christ the
Lord Lutheran Church. This grant will only fund the domestic service. Costs for the fire
protection service will need to be funded by the church. Since the grant is between the City
and the MPCA, the City will hold/administer the contract for the work, coordinate the funding
with the MPCA for the domestic service and receive reimbursement from the church for the fire
protection water line. The sealing of the existing well will be accomplished under a separate
grant administered by Washington County.
Discussion
Agreement to Construct Lateral Water Line
The project will provide both a domestic and fire service line to the church’s existing building.
The domestic line is a 2” service line; the fire service is a 6” line. The City has received three
quotes for this work. The quotes include the installation of both lines to the church; however,
as indicated above, the MPCA Grant will not fund the construction of the fire service line. The
attached agreement has been prepared by the city attorney, which sets forth the terms for the
reimbursement of the fire service line costs from the church to the City. The City will be
reimbursed fully for this work through the MPCA grant and Christ the Lord Lutheran Church.
The related water connection fees for the domestic service line will also be funded by the 3M
Settlement grant funds.
