[1:53] immediately east of the Norhart apartment building So if you recall the final plat for Enclave was approved at

[1:58] the prior council meeting on May 27th and as a condition of approval for the plat uh there was a a requirement that

[2:06] the developer vacate any unnecessary public easements and zoning code

[2:11] prohibits encroachments onto easement areas So as such the developer has formally applied to vacate the existing

[2:19] uh utility and drainage easements that are no longer needed Sufficient corridors have been provided as part of

[2:24] the uh u have been provided for utility and drainage uh as part of the final

[2:30] plat for Enclave HL station that was just approved And there is also a request to approve the development

[5:35] on a second All those in favor say I I Opposed And A through J are approved as

[5:41] presented Uh next up we will check in with advisory boards and commissions Uh

[5:47] planning commission met Council member Severson I believe you tackled that one right I did Yes The plan commission met

[5:53] on uh June 5th last week and um held public hearings on the comprehensive

[5:58] plan amendment for the Glen Brook small area comprehensive plan um and also a public hearing on the zoning and

[6:04] subdivision code update and the zoning map up amendment and um had some good

[6:09] discussion and um that was pretty much their meeting Wonderful Uh award bid

[6:17] none So we'll move into community development We have a couple items uh

[6:22] tonight Luke taking us through this Welcome on back

[6:27] So yes this uh site plan amendment it's for Collins Electrical Construction They're actually relocating from their

[6:33] headquarters in the city of St Paul to here in Oakdale And the location of their site is 711 Hail Avenue So this is

[6:40] the former Spartan Promotional Building if you're familiar with that This site plan amendment request involves

[6:46] expanding the existing building by approximately 19,000 square ft and adding a dedicated outdoor storage area

[6:53] for business equipment So after reviewing the uh request staff finds that it complies with the zoning

[6:59] requirements including the standards for parking landscaping exterior design standards screening and light site

[7:06] lighting Um so staff recommends approval of the amendment subject to the following conditions that are found in

[7:11] the resolution 2025-55 And I would like to note that since the agenda packet was actually published the developer

[7:18] submitted updated plans that satisfy conditions 2 three and four in the resolution So those uh conditions are a

[7:24] bit moot Um but I'll read through the the five conditions here So number one is uh that the developer has to obtain

[7:31] approval for the uh civil construction plans by the city engineer Number two

[7:37] provide details methods of screening for trash collection areas for external trash collection and the developer

[7:42] actually u they pointed out that there's an there's an existing internal trash collection area Um so that's what will

[7:48] be utilized Number three uh the condition here demonstrate compliance with the exterior design standards The

[7:55] uh developer provided updated elevations and the ex building expansion is compliant with our design standards

[8:01] Number four revisions to the phototric plan to comply with the city's site lighting requirements and the updated

[8:08] plans uh show that they are in full compliance And finally number five permits and approvals must be obtained

[8:14] from outside government agencies and those pro approvals must be uh provided to the city We do have a representative

[8:21] from Collins Electrical here if you uh have any questions Uh otherwise I'd be happy to answer questions Thank you

[8:28] Thank you Luke Uh council members any questions for Luke How about the rep for from Collins Electric Any questions No

[8:35] All right let's hit it I will make a motion to wave reading and adopt resolution 2025-55 approving the site

[8:42] plan amendment for Collins Electrical with conditions included in the attached resolution There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second Final

[8:49] comments All those in favor say I I Opposed And resolution 2025-55

[8:55] is adopted Welcome to Oakdale Collins Uh next up a building permit compliance

[9:02] date change or an extension request Luke you got that one too Thank you mayor So

[9:07] yes this is for the Rio's Church at 7287 Stillwater Boulevard Uh the current site

[9:16] plan extension approval is valid through July 6 and the uh an additional 30-day

[9:22] extension is being requested by the church through August 5th so that the developer can obtain a building permit

[9:27] Just running into a bit of issues with uh or finalizing the DA but we uh city

[9:32] staff we do feel confident that we could get there here in the next few weeks Uh the developer again is working with city

[9:38] staff both on the development agreement and also working towards obtaining a building permit So happy to answer questions Thank you Council members any

[9:45] questions for Luke Yeah I just had one question Council member Markham Thank you I was just uh the process can take

[9:52] time on these things and I think this came forward already once for an extension Should we just two three times

[9:57] Two three times for a longer period I was just going to recommend should we make it a 90-day extension at this point

[10:04] I mean just to make sure there's time so it's not coming forward again in case there's someone that gets ill or there's

[10:09] vacations or is city staff fairly confident that it's really down to the last week or two and this will be enough

[10:16] Or is 30 days the max we can do I don't know

[10:21] who wants to take it So uh in terms of how long the the council can keep

[10:26] extending the the site plan approval I guess I would look to the city attorney's office But um yeah now city

[10:34] staff does feel that we are really close In fact uh in in terms in terms of uh

[10:40] getting the DA across the finish lines Anything else Andy Well 30 days is

[10:47] enough That's fine Uh council members any other questions

[10:52] All right I'll look for a motion I'll move we approve an additional 30-day extension with an expiration date

[10:58] of August 5th 2025 for Rios Diaga Viva to obtain a building permit for the proposed church at 7287 Stillwater

[11:06] Boulevard North There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second All those in favor say I I Opposed And

[11:39] council I have three items on the um under this section So first is a donation to the city very generous

[11:45] donation by um a resident Nancy Muggenberg um in regards to her late

[11:51] husband Corey and in addition also part of the donating party is Michael and Don

[11:57] Conlin in memory of NY's husband So um the fire department had a lot of

[12:02] interactions over the last recent years with um her late husband Corey and she was very appreciative of the

[12:08] relationship and the service that the fire department provided her So with that she provided an $800 donation And

[12:14] so the motion is in front of you for consideration Uh council members any questions for Chris All right I'll look for a motion

[12:22] Make a motion to wave reading and adopt resolution 2025-54 accepting a donation from Nancy Muggenberg and Michael and

[12:29] Don Conlin in the amount of $800 There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second Final comments All those in

[12:36] favor say I I Opposed and resolution 2025-54 is graciously accepted Thank you

[12:42] to Nancy Michael and Dawn for their donation to the city The next item I'm going to ask Don Tyson our owner's rep

[12:49] to come up for it's about the new um public work or sorry sorry city hall

[12:54] sorry and police facility This is our next project So we got two projects going on It's pretty exciting So Don

[13:01] thanks Welcome Thanks Chris Good evening Mayor Council Once again I am Don Tyson the owner's representative for the

[13:07] public works project and this these uh the police remodel expansion project and the city hall remodel project It really

[13:14] is a privilege to serve in these roles for you uh on these exciting projects Also in attendance with us tonight is

[13:21] Mike Phillips He is a senior project manager with Krauss Anderson and with your approval tonight of the contract he

[13:28] will be leading the project for the Krauss Anderson team So tonight we're requesting two actions for these

[13:33] projects The first action is approval of the construction manager at risk contract Back on March 11th you approved

[13:40] the process to select the construction manager with the projects in compliance with Minnesota statute 471.463

[13:48] You also appointed the city administrator city police chief and project architect as a selection committee Uh for this process there was

[13:55] a robust selection process that took place that began with a issuing a request for qualifications The city

[14:02] received eight responses and after scoring those responses we sent the request for proposals then to three

[14:08] firms and then after scoring those proposals the top two firms were interviewed As the conclusion of those

[14:14] interviews the combined scores of the qualifications the proposal and the interviews were told up and the

[14:21] selection committee is recommending Cross Anderson uh construction company for these projects As you know Krauss

[14:27] Anderson is the current construction manager on the public works facility They have kept this project in budget

[14:33] and progressing forward even under challenging site and weather conditions that we've experienced out there The

[14:39] transition to the police department and city hall projects will really be a smooth seamless effort for city staff uh

[14:45] to keep this the next project going forward As a side note the team of BKV Group the

[14:52] uh architect for these projects and Cross Anderson recently completed a joint facility of public works and uh

[14:58] police department in Rosemont and we actually toured that uh last week to see that So this team of architect and

[15:05] construction manager have really completed some uh great projects here in the cities together

[15:10] The request for council action does contain financial information on the construction management fee and pre-construction services I do want to

[15:17] point out that in the times we're in where everything seems to be costing more the construction management fee

[15:23] percentage is less than the construction management fee percentage on the public works project that was approved two

[15:28] years ago And thanks go to your city administrator Chris Vulkers that negotiating this this uh reduction in

[15:34] fee from one two two years ago So with that mayor we and council we're requesting that city council authorize

[15:41] the mayor and city administrator to enter into an agreement with Krauss Anderson Construction Company for

[15:46] construction management risk services for CIP project B2025-1

[15:52] and B2026-1

[15:57] Thank you Don Uh council members any questions for Don or Chris Because you

[16:03] know we know Chris does so much on these projects Any questions All right let's look for a

[16:10] recommendation I move we authorize the mayor and city administrator to enter into an agreement with Carl Anderson

[16:16] Construction Company for construction management at risk services for CIP project B2025-1

[16:21] the expansion and remodel of the police department facility and B2026-1

[16:27] the remodel of city hall Uh there's a motion Is there a second Second Motion second Final comments All those in favor

[16:34] say I I opposed And that authorization is given Thank you Don Thank Thank you

[16:41] Uh the second action is identical to the action you took back on August 14th of 2024 for the public's works project

[16:48] giving the city administrator a level of change order approval authority This action tonight is for just the police

[16:54] department and city hall projects For new council members and the public I want to reiterate three points that we

[17:00] made back in August about this change order authority Uh first of all change orders are a necessary part of any

[17:05] project There are things that the owner decides they want during the construction and no plan is perfect

[17:11] Change orders are just a fact of life with a project Field revisions are needed With that we need timely review

[17:17] and approval of a change order so we don't see delays because delays cost money for everybody on a project Most

[17:24] importantly to that point though there is a vigorous change order review process that's in place that will be also in place for this project

[17:32] Change orders are reviewed by the project architect the construction manager the owner's representative myself uh and even before a change order

[17:40] is drafted the team reviews these change orders or potential change orders with the city administrator and get their uh

[17:47] the city administrator's approval even start processing those So that rigorous process ensures transparency and

[17:53] accountability and that it's actually a needed and a and a a wellpriced change order

[17:58] So with that mayor we do request again uh that the city council authorize a city administrator to approve individual

[18:04] change orders up to $100,000 provided that the increases in the project cost

[18:10] within the city council's approved project budget for the police department and city hall projects

[18:17] Thank you Don Uh council members any questions for Don on this one Yep Go for it Yeah I was just uh could you speak to

[18:23] the number of change orders above 25,000 that have been received for the public works building to this point

[18:29] I don't have that number council member but we can get that to you I would say it's right now it's uh less than 10 Sure

[18:36] So and comparison to the scope of other projects of this size Is that fairly standard Is that more Is that less Yeah

[18:43] The the primary the largest change over so far have been related to the winter conditions working over the winter and

[18:49] dealing with frozen ground Um and that's so those have been the most significant

[18:54] ones moving the earthwork but nothing unusual for a project of this size or

[18:59] magnitude Um the change order budget itself right now also is in uh excellent

[19:04] condition compared where we're at with the project with the progress that you saw out there last week So yeah No

[19:10] perfect Yeah the weather conditions are a big factor in any project So I appreciate sharing that That's the only question I had Thank you Uh any other

[19:18] questions for Don All right Uh who would like to make this motion

[19:23] I can make the motion to wave reading the city administrator or to authorize

[19:28] Start over Make a motion to authorize the city administrator to approve individual change orders up to $100,000

[19:33] provided that the increase in project cost is within the city council's approved project budget for the police department and city hall remodel

[19:39] projects There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second Any conversation All those in favor say I I

[19:47] Opposed And that authorization is given Thank you Thank you Don Uh Chris one

[19:52] more item under your section Well first thank you mayor and council Um I do want to say with the public works we'll get

[19:58] you a list of the change orders because they're almost all soil or or weather condition related almost Um but I do

[20:05] appreciate the the faith you have in the staff to really vet this stuff There have been times where we've said no or

[20:11] no we're not going to do it that way We're going to find a different way which is why our change order our whole budget is in really good shape So be

[20:17] assured we're trying to work hard on that So um as far as this agenda item it

[20:23] is about city policy um CCO2 which is city council policy Council only has a

[20:28] few policies This is one It's about advisory boards and commissions And what we're trying to do is clarify a more

[20:35] clear process for both both the applicants as they go through the process to be in a commissioner board

[20:40] The council as they consider the applicant and then um the council as they're managing the commissions These

[20:47] are this is a council thing The commissions and boards are council They are not staff We only support you guys

[20:53] make the decision So what you've got in front of you is a proposed um well several proposed based on council

[20:58] discussions previously on um eight sections and it really

[21:03] clarifies the term of the appointments the application process and how that flows So it clarifies some hiccups we've

[21:10] been having just because we didn't allow enough time for everything Um reappoints what happens in that so that

[21:16] commissioners know if they want to be reappointed how that process works and how council's involved vacancies

[21:22] attendance attendance is a big one It is very important that people who become part of our commissions and boards

[21:28] attend the meetings So the council is interested in putting a threshold for attendance expectations So that's in the

[21:35] policy organization overall u meetings and then the annual work plan that they

[21:40] will prepare work plan and council will review it They'll have discussions It'll be an open discussion with the commission's board So that's what's in

[21:46] front of you these proposed changes to um city council policy C002

[21:53] Perfect Uh council members any questions for Chris All right let's get a recommendation

[22:00] I recommend we amend city policy CC-002 city council advisory boards and commissions And there's a motion Is

[22:06] there a second Second Motion a second Any comments The only comment I will make is thank you Chris and Sarah our

[22:13] city clerk um for all of your work on this We know there was a lot of back and forth um and we know that sometimes

[22:18] these policies can get a little once we start tinkering with things they can become a headache So we really appreciate um you pulling all of our

[22:25] thoughts together So thank you for that Uh all those in favor say I I opposed

[22:30] and that policy is amended Uh council presentations we have one action Um so

[22:37] let's do that and then we can go into individual council member updates So um

[22:42] this one is to update our board and commission assignments for 2025 uh with the resignation of council member Willen

[22:49] Uh we just need to move a few chairs on the the boat deck So um council members

[22:54] can I get a motion Make a motion to affirm the updated appointments for the boards and commission leaison for 2025 as noted on

[23:01] the attached There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second Any conversation All those in favor say I I

[32:45] property use agreement by Ames Construction Mr Getsoff welcome Thank

[32:50] you Mr President Commissioners uh the the item before you is approval of the

[32:57] second amendment a temporary property use agreement with Ames related to ED own EDA owned property at Tanner's Lake

[33:03] Uh Ames entered into this agreement November 16 2022 uh for temporary use

[33:08] related to the Gold Line bus rapid transit project Um that agreement was amended April 15th of 2024 extending

[33:16] those terms to no November 23rd 2024 Uh condition of that agreement was that

[33:23] Ames was to um in exchange perform some sewer relocation work at their expense

[33:30] um end up the the as did not perform the location work because it it wasn't needed based on the design of the uh

[33:37] Tanner's redevelopment um project So in lie of that we've worked out an arrangement um with as

[33:43] that they pay the approximate cost of what it would have been done to do the work but we are just limiting that to

[33:49] the materials only knowing that you know they would have been on site and been able to do that So and those numbers

[33:54] have been verified by the city engineer Um so that amount would be $27,500

[34:00] with the recommendation that that go into the municipal building fund So the action before uh the EDA here today is

[34:07] at the um recommendation of our city attorney to make sure we just memorialize this in an agreement form

[34:13] for for future auditing purposes would be to authorize um EDA president and executive director

[34:20] to sign and execute the se second amendment to the temporary property use agreement with Ames on behalf of the EDA

[34:27] Happy to answer any questions Uh commissioners any questions No questions I have one Why is it going to the

[34:33] municipal building fund Uh our past practice is money yielded from public lands goes to parks So why the ch Well I

[34:42] guess it's a council tradition Um why the change now So Mr Mayor city council

[34:48] that was very deliberate to give you flexibility on wherever you want to move it to after that That's the right place to move it to So you have full

[34:54] flexibility Wouldn't we have the same flexibility with just putting in the general fund Um there are rules about

[35:01] this specifically and without going into too many details with the auditor who's not here It does this this does give you

[35:08] you can move it back to the general fund This gives you the most flexibility Yeah Because of the source of the funds That

[35:14] makes sense Thank you I knew you'd have the answer Of course It's like you anticipate our questions Yeah Uh

[35:22] commissioners any other questions I'll look for a motion Well I'll move that we authorize the EDA

[35:28] president and executive director to sign the second amendment to temporary property use agreement with Ames Construction Incorporated on behalf of

[35:35] the EDA There's a motion Is there a second Second Motion a second Final comments All those in favor say I I

[35:42] Opposed And that authorization's given Can I get a motion to adjourn the Oaka So moved There's a motion Is there a

[35:48] second Second Motion a second All those in favor say I I opposed We are adjourned Thank you and good night
