## Background
## Public Service Recognition Week
The City of Woodbury employs 316 full-time, 41 part-time, and multiple seasonal employees. These
employees are the administrative assistants, technicians, specialists, planners, inspectors,
engineers, public service workers, police officers, firefighters, paramedics and the communications,
technology, finance, recreation, managerial and administrative professionals in the City of Woodbury
organization.
The services these individuals perform are connected to the basic daily activities of the residents
and businesses of the City of Woodbury. They ensure Woodbury remains a sustainable and attractive
community providing a high quality of life for its residents and positive economic environment for its
businesses. The success of the organization is reflected in the positive response towards City
services received in the citizen survey.
## Peace Officers Memorial Day & Police Week
The first recognition of Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day was signed by President
Kennedy in 1962 following a joint resolution of Congress. National Police Week pays special
recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the
safety and protection of others.
## Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week
The first recognition of EMS Week was authorized by President Gerald Ford in 1974 to celebrate
EMS practitioners and the important work they do in our nation’s communities. Back then, EMS was
a new profession, and EMS practitioners had only just started to be recognized as a critical
component of emergency medicine and the public health safety net.
A lot has changed since then. EMS is now firmly established as an essential public function and a
vital component of the medical care continuum. On any given day, EMS practitioners help save lives
by responding to medical emergencies, including heart attack, difficulty breathing, a fall or accident,
drowning, cardiac arrest, stroke, drug overdose or acute illness. EMS may provide both basic and
advanced medical care at the scene of an emergency and enroute to a hospital. EMS practitioners
care for their patients' medical needs and show care and compassion to their patients in their most
difficult moments.

## Special Order of Business
A.Recognition of Felix Johnson, League of Minnesota Cities' Mayor for a Day Essay Contest Winner
Mayor Burt introduced fourth grader Felix Johnson and explained that all students are invited to write an essay about being a mayor for the
day. She noted that the essay contest is run by the League of Minnesota Cities, and Mr. Johnson won. Mr. Johnson explained that he won the
Mayor of the Day essay contest because he wrote about chickens and ducks. He added that his mom and he want to have chickens, but they
are not allowed in the City. He mentioned that there would be some rules to allow chickens, such as no roosters, a fence to keep coyotes
away, and a maximum of six birds. Mayor Burt mentioned that Mr. Johnson was published in the League of Minnesota Cities magazine and
received an award.
B.Proclamation Affirming City Values and Action Related to Immigration Enforcement and Opposing a Federal Immigration Detention Center
in Woodbury
Mayor Burt thanked the community for their passion and for bringing the matter to the Council’s attention and demanding something they find
important. The City Council has been working together with staff to be responsive to the concerns.
Mayor Burt noted she would be reading a Proclamation affirming the City values and action related to immigration enforcement and opposing
a federal immigration detention center in the City. She explained that over the past several months, staff and the Council have been actively
working on the issues and providing updates to the community along the way. The Proclamation serves to formally memorialize the efforts and
clearly articulate the City’s position. She recognized that many community members were expecting the item to be on the previous agenda.
She clarified the process for setting the Council agenda. The City Administrator establishes the Council agenda, and residents are encouraged
to use the Open Forum to address the Council on items that are not listed on the agenda. During the Open Forum, the Council does not take
immediate action; instead, members take time to consider the information, consult with staff, and determine the appropriate next steps.
Following the March 25
th
meeting, the Council reviewed the request submitted by residents for further consideration. The Council determined
## City Council Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, April 08, 2026
Page 2 of 8
that it was important to go on record and to respond to the community’s request. As a result, the Proclamation has been placed on the
agenda. She noted that the Proclamation does not include restrictions on the use of municipal property due to legal and practical
considerations, which would make implementation difficult to enforce. If the City becomes aware of any unlawful activity or actions that do not
align with the City’s values on municipal property, the City has the right to revisit the issue. She stated that the City opposes the use of any
buildings or property in Woodbury as a detention center and the City is committed to ensuring Woodbury is a place where everyone feels safe,
supported, and included.
Councilmember Wilson explained that she was surprised that it was a Proclamation because the Council had decided a while ago not to have
Proclamations since the Council was getting many requests. She wondered if it should be a Resolution instead. She added that a
Proclamation raises awareness while a Resolution establishes policy or gives a position of the City. City Administrator Jeffrey Dahl explained
that staff felt like a Proclamation would be more appropriate due to what the community has gone through in the past few months. He added
that it warranted a clarification of where the City is with its position and values. Staff agreed that a Proclamation would utilize a public
document to explain what the City’s stance is as a community.
Mayor Burt read a Proclamation in full, affirming City values and action related to immigration enforcement and opposing a federal
immigration detention center in Woodbury.
Mayor Burt opened an opportunity for the Council to share comments. Councilmember Morris thanked Mayor Burt for her leadership and for
the relentless efforts of staff, and for purposely providing the community with answers and support. He recognized that some of the efforts
made by the City may not feel like enough and expressed his appreciation for the deep levels of passion that the community has. He explained
why he has been using the phrase “performative politics” and noted that the Councilmembers are not professional politicians, but instead are
community members who chose to serve the community. He expressed appreciation for the Council and the various views they all hold while
remaining professional. He noted his personal definition of leadership in his role is to understand a problem and an issue, and work to find a
resolution. He added that the Council does not approach issues through a political lens and simply reviews things for what they are and what
they believe the best policy or direction is for the community. The Council does not deliberate or act based on political ideology. He expressed
his understanding that the community wants the Council to be more visible and chart a path that is stronger in rhetoric. He recognized the
desire to have more outspoken elected officials. He explained that the world does not need more politicians angling for more camera time and
viral clips. The world does not need false hope and instead needs legitimate debate, discussion, and action. He mentioned that he does not
seek attention and will not tell people what they want to hear because it will make people vote for him. He applauded the community for using
their voice and requesting more actions from the Council. He added that he would not lie to the community and make false promises or empty
hope. He stated he supports the Proclamation and does not want an ICE detention facility in the community. He added that he does not want
any government office or official to terrorize a community to create fear and violate people’s rights. He stated he wants all elements of the
government to honor the rights that people have, to treat people fairly and humanely, and to enforce the laws with integrity. The City
government does not have special authority or jurisdiction to dictate the application of State or federal laws. What the City can do is to implore
all government officials to treat the community and those who visit it by honoring the rights of people and to treat everyone with respect. He
encourages the community to use their voices and to think about what they are asking and if the person or entity they are asking has the
authority or influence necessary to bring the change that is being requested. He encouraged the community to work together to bring real
change to the issues.
C.Report on April 8, 2026 Workshop Closed Session Item Regarding the Lee Property Negotiation
City Attorney Kevin Sandstrom stated the closed session was pursuant to Statute 13d.05 subdivision 3B. The active litigation matter was the
Raymond Lee versus the City of Woodbury case, which has been ongoing. He noted that during the process, he received direction from the City
Council regarding ongoing settlement discussions and other strategies in the case. If there is a settlement that is reached, it will be brought
back to the Council for formal approval.
## Open Forum
Catherine Wegener, City resident, stated she attended the Council meeting two weeks ago to show her support for a proposed resolution.
During the meeting, she heard concerns regarding the Council’s limited authority to control federal actions in the City. She explained that she
is an immigration attorney and over the past year, the federal government has thrown around its weight to strip power and agency away from
individuals and municipalities. Rather than focusing on the limitations that the City faces, she asked the Council to reframe their thinking and
utilize the power and authority that they have. She noted that the immigration system is not going to be fixed anytime soon, and the City needs
to protect the community against the broken system. She thanked the Council for drafting a Proclamation that demonstrates the commitment
to educate and communicate with constituents. She added that she hopes that the Council continues to share information and update the
community with the Council’s efforts. A Proclamation is not a Resolution and is not enough. She added that the City is up against a ruthless
and aggressive federal government. Agents occupied the City, broke laws, violated rights and freedoms, and terrorized residents. She
explained that the community needs formal and official action by the Council that carries legal weight. There is nothing in the proposed
Resolution that is beyond the City’s authority. By passing the proposed Resolution and taking the outlined actions, the City builds a foundation
from which legal recourse can be pursued if the federal government violates it and sends a message in solidarity with many other cities that
have adopted similar Resolutions. She stated she is asking for a Resolution because a response to Operation Metro Surge deserves a vote.
She explained that as a citizen of a democracy has the responsibility to hold her elected officials accountable. She added that she would like
to know which of her Councilmembers would stand up for her and her neighbor the next time federal agents are in town.
## City Council Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, April 08, 2026
Page 3 of 8
Amy Stedman, City resident, explained why the City Council should have passed a Resolution instead of a Proclamation. A Proclamation is
what the Council does for Arbor Day. She added that it is about whether families and residents in the City are safe without wondering if City
property is being used against them. The Resolution that the community submitted to the City clearly states that ICE and DHS may not use
City-owned property as staging grounds for immigration enforcement. The language is not included in the Proclamation, and the community
wants the Council to explain why. She noted the list of what the City has done throughout the process. She explained that what the City has
done so far is the bare minimum. Answering questions is not policy, posting FAQs is not protection, and a newsletter column does not stop ICE
from using Ojibway Park as a staging ground. Doing the minimum does not mean that the job is finished. Offering a Proclamation in response
to a petition does not finish the job. She added that the Parks and Natural Resource Commission unanimously brought up a recommendation
to the Council asking for stronger safety protection for young riders on ebikes, and instead, the Council deferred, delayed, and sent to a
workshop. A Proclamation affirms values, a Resolution requires a vote. She added that the community wants the Council to vote so that it is
on record. The Community deserves to know who is standing up for them and who is not. She noted that the community showed up in January,
submitted a petition in March, and it has not been a moment that passes. She asked that the Council take up the Resolution as submitted,
with the property restrictions language included, and vote on it.
Tori Nathan, City resident, stated she was in support of the proposed Resolution that was presented to the Council regarding immigration and
customs enforcement. She noted that there has been a lot of discussion regarding the detention center. She explained that she would like to
address the portion of the Proclamation that does not address the use of City property. In summary, the proposed Resolution states that the
City shall restrict the use of City-owned, City-leased, or City-controlled property for the purposes of staging, coordinating, or supporting civil
immigration enforcement except where clearly required by federal or State law. She added that it is not an unreasonable thing to do, and other
cities have done it, such as Chicago and San Francisco. She noted that she has heard that it is not legal to interfere with ICE or DHS’s
operation, but it is a gross oversimplification. State and local authorities cannot directly regulate the federal government, but they can stop the
federal government from commandeering City property for federal purposes. She stated it was supported in the courts and referenced a 2017
case where the Ninth Circuit Court addressed it in California. The goal is not to have the City illegally obstruct immigration enforcement. The
goal is to implement reasonable and meaningful restrictions that would prevent Woodbury from being complicit with ICE’s activities. Allowing
ICE to use City-owned properties for enforcement activities endangers residents, and the City can do something about it by passing the
proposed Resolution.
Assistant City Administrator/City Clerk Ashleigh Sullivan mentioned that there were two online comments. The first comment was from Brian
Fruchtman who stated he was jogging on the side of the road due to ice. A Woodbury police officer asked him to stop. He explained that when
he did not stop, due to the psychological and physical effects of lowering his pulse, and submitting to harassment, he beat him up. He stated
he appeared before the Council and made a police complaint. The police chief called and told him to run on the side and to stop when an
officer tells him to. He added that he left a message for the mayor and left another message a month later to contact him to let him know if
anything had been done, but he did not receive a phone call back. The administrator accepted responsibility via email for allowing future
violence. Woodbury needs to replace the unethical City Councilmembers supporting abuse, including the mayor, police chief, and
administrator, unless they want authoritarian violence against law-abiding citizens.
Ms. Sullivan noted that the second online comment was from Belinda Reid, who asked how the people requesting the Proclamation were
vetted, especially that they are actual residents of Woodbury. She wondered if the Proclamation was representative of all 85,000 residents.

## Public Hearings
A.Consider Approval of the 2026 Draft Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan, as Required by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and a Substantial Amendment to the 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan Addressing
Contaminated Site Cleanup as a CDBG Goal for the Current Five-Year Planning Period; Opening of 30-Day Public Comment Period
Mayor Burt declared the public hearing open.
Housing and Economic Development Manager Jamie Fritts stated the City of Woodbury receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) via the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program
## City Council Meeting Minutes
Wednesday, April 08, 2026
Page 5 of 8
(HOME). Woodbury accesses CDBG directly from HUD but accesses HOME funds as a sub-recipient member of the Dakota County HOME
Consortium. Each year, HUD requires the City to create an Annual Action Plan (AAP) to determine specific investment strategies of the funds
on a July-to-June program year basis. Woodbury may invest its allocation of CDBG and HOME in a variety of ways, including projects such as
economic development, housing, public facilities, or public services. The City Council adopted a motion on February 25, 2026, identifying
affordable housing as well as cleanup of contaminated sites as high priorities for the use of HUD funds.
Mr. Fritts noted that recipients of HUD CDBG/HOME funding must adopt an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that prioritizes goals of the 2025-2029
Consolidated Plan; define specific investment strategies to achieve goals; and evaluate past performance.
Mr. Fritts reviewed the public process. He noted that on February 25, 2026, the City Council made a motion establishing affordable housing
and cleanup of contaminated sites as 2026 AAP high funding priorities. On April 8, 2026, there was a public hearing on the draft 2026 AAP
and a substantial amendment to the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan. The public comment period regarding the 2026 AAP and substantial
amendment to the 2025- 2029 Consolidated Plan will be open from April 9, 2026, through May 8, 2026 (pending). On May 13, 2026, the
Council will consider the adoption of the 2026 AAP.
Mr. Fritts presented the 2026 anticipated resources. The total anticipated CDBG funds are $406,639, and the total anticipated HOME funds
are $99,000. He reviewed the proposed PY26 activities. The draft 2026 AAP allocates CDBG funds to the following:
$224,000 of the CDBG for a Two Rivers Community Land Trust project to benefit income-eligible homebuyers.
$121,639 of CDBG for a City-administered private ash tree removal project to benefit income-eligible homeowners.
$56,000 of CDBG for program administration expenditures.
Mr. Fritts explained that the Two Rivers Community Land Trust project would include acquiring three single-family homes in Woodbury,
rehabilitating and modernizing the homes for resale, reselling the homes to homebuyers earning between 60-80% of the area median income,
and that homes would be entered into a trust with a 99-year period of affordability. The Private Ash Tree Removal project would include
assisting income-eligible homeowners with ash tree removal. It would cover 100% of the cost for removal with no repayment required. Funds
are paid directly to the contractor on behalf of the homeowner. Staff anticipates assisting approximately 50 homeowners.
Mr. Fritts mentioned that there are no viable projects that have been identified for the use of HOME Partnership Funds in 2026. The funds
have a narrow scope for use, there is a longer timeline to spend the funds, and staff will monitor potential future requests and uses and bring
recommendations to the Council.
Mr. Fritts stated implementation of the ash tree removal activity requires a substantial amendment to the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. The
amendment would add “Cleanup of Contaminated Sites” as a goal of the current Consolidated Plan. Substantial amendments must follow the
same public process as the approval of an AAP. The substantial amendment will be adopted concurrently with the 2026 AAP public process.
Mr. Fritts stated that staff recommends the Council to adopt a motion opening a public comment period regarding the draft 2026 Annual
Action Plan and the substantial amendment to the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan on April 09, 2026, and closing on May 08, 2026.
Mayor Burt invited the representative from Two Rivers Community Land Trust to share more. Executive Director of Two Rivers Community Land
Trust, Jamar Smith, explained that Two Rivers Community Land Trust provides permanent affordable housing for low to moderate-income
individuals, families, and households earning up to 80% area median income in the County. The goal is to provide a pathway to
homeownership for people in Washington County who would not otherwise be able to afford a home in the area. He stated that they currently
have 81 homes in trust, and three are in Woodbury. By the end of the year, there will be 13 more homes with funding that they have already
secured, and an additional three will be in the County.
Mayor Burt asked Mr. Smith where the other funding source was from. Mr. Smith replied that a large amount of the funds comes from the
State and the County.
Councilmember Santini asked if homeowners pay the Two Rivers trust, or if they get funds from another lender. Mr. Smith replied that the
homeowners get a traditional loan. He explained that they have 11 lenders that understand the model and provide secure and conventional
loans.
Mr. Fritts explained that the City is an entitlement community, and the CDA is an entitlement community, so the funds that they give to Two
Rivers cannot be spent in Woodbury because entitlement communities cannot overlap. He added that there are not many Two Rivers
Community Land Trust homes in the City because the CDA has been a large partner in Washington County as a whole. In order for Two Rivers
Community Land Trust to get a boost from the City, it must come as a CDBG. Mayor Burt asked how long the current three homes have been in
the City. Mr. Fritts replied that one has been owned by the same owner for over a decade, one home was acquired in the winter, and he
believed the third home was newer.
Mayor Burt moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, to close the public hearing.

Mayor Burt opened an opportunity for discussion and questions from the Council.
Councilmember Santini asked if a homeowner through Two Rivers Communities Land Trust could utilize a loan through the HRA grant
program. Mr. Fritts replied that they would be if they met all of the eligibility requirements.
Councilmember Wilson asked if people needed to be in a specific area to qualify for the ash tree removal program. Mr. Fritts replied that
people do not need to be in a specific area since it is individual people qualifying.
Councilmember Santini asked what the plan was to promote the ash tree removal program. She asked if there were areas in the City where
ash tree removal was not happening as often. Mr. Fritts replied that staff has discussed how to roll out and promote the project.
Councilmember Wilson pointed out that the Council was not approving anything but was opening a 30-day public comment period.
Councilmember Morris asked why the item was in front of the Council and not the HRA for the CDBG funding. Mr. Fritts explained that the HRA
is a separate entity, and the City is the recipient of the funds. Community Development Director Janelle Schmitz added that the City is the
entitlement entity. The CDBG funds have to go to the City and not the HRA. When the HRA had loans, the City would give the money to the HRA
in order to do the loans.
Councilmember Morris asked if the HRA could use LAHA funds for the Two Rivers Community Land Trust. Mr. Fritts replied that that would be
possible. Ms. Schmitz added that under the LAHA fund, there is a category for development assistance, so it would qualify under that.
Councilmember Morris mentioned that he assumed modernizing the home would include ensuring the house is code-compliant and that it
would qualify for FHA loans. Mr. Smith replied that the homeowners have to secure a conventional loan, and they do not do FHA loans for the
properties. He added that modernizing the house includes ensuring that it is safe and energy efficient. He explained that if there are funds left
over, they work with the homeowners to modernize the house accordingly. Each house has about $60,000-$70,000 set aside for renovations.
Councilmember Santini wondered if funds could be used for rental assistance. Mr. Fritts replied that he has not looked into the home rental
assistance process. He mentioned that it would likely include ongoing rental assistance or emergency assistance. He mentioned he would
need to look into it more. He mentioned that the Statute says that the City can give funds to agencies that administer social service programs
and eviction prevention programs.
Councilmember Santini moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, to open a 30-day public comment period regarding the 2026 Annual
Action Plan (AAP) and the substantial amendment to the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, opening on April 9, 2026, and closing on the end of
the day May 8, 2026.

Engineering Director Chris Hartzell stated the active projects in the City include the Bailey Road water tower, the water treatment pipeline
project, and the Bailey Road and Fairway Drive traffic signal. He mentioned that the Bailey Road water tower project is anticipating raising the
top bowl between April 30 and May 15. The final completion and commission will be in January 2027. He reviewed the water treatment plant
and pipeline project. He encouraged the community to check out the water treatment plant pipeline project website to receive updates
throughout the summer. He highlighted Valley Creek Road from Woodbury Drive to East Woodcrest Drive and Dancing Waters Parkway and
explained that it is reduced to one lane in the westbound direction. Bailey Road is closed from Radio Drive to Salem Drive for six weeks. He
stated they would not open the full closure of westbound Valley Creek Road until the Bailey Road construction is completed. He added that
they anticipate only having one east/west connection closed down at a time. He stated that the Bailey Road and Fairway Drive traffic signal
construction began on Monday, April 6
th,
and is coordinating with the water treatment plant pipeline closures. The signal is anticipated to be
operational in July.
Mr. Hartzell reviewed the 2026 construction projects:
## 2025 Roadway Rehabilitation Project – Eastview Road
## 2026 Roadway Rehabilitation Project
## Woodlane Drive Pavement Rehabilitation Project
Valley Creek Road Trail Project (Colby Lake Underpass to Dancing Waters Parkway)
## Valley Creek Road and Eagle Creek Lane Traffic Signal
## Bailey Road and Settlers Ridge Parkway Intersection Improvement Project
## Bailey Road and Manning Avenue (TH 95) Intersection Improvement Project
## Bailey Road Trail Project (Woodland Drive to La Lake Park)
## 2026 Pavement Rejuvenator Project
Fiber to the Home
Mr. Hartzell mentioned that the 2026 Roadway Rehabilitation Project is anticipated to begin in April and be completed in October. There will
be a pre-construction open house meeting scheduled for Thursday, April 16
th,
for residents to learn more information. The Woodlane Drive
Pavement Rehabilitation Project would occur from late May or early June until August or September. There will be multiple phases in the
project, and staff will work with the school district. The Valley Creek Road Trail Project will be coordinated with the water treatment plant
pipeline project. A new trail will be constructed and connected to the existing trail that goes through the park system.
Mayor Burt pointed out that there is a lot of tree removal anticipated going east on Woodbury Drive. She asked if the tree removal was due to
a utility easement or a trail. Mr. Hartzell replied that it would be due to both. He added that it is within the City’s right-of-way. He added that
they would not be able to replace the trees in the area due to the water pipeline.
Mr. Hartzell mentioned that one of the most dangerous intersections in the County is at Valley Creek Road and Eagle Creek Lane, which is why
a traffic signal will be installed. The Bailey Road and Settlers Ridge Parkway Intersection Improvement Project is anticipated to begin in May
and be completed in August. The intersection will be closed for construction. The Bailey Road and Manning Avenue Intersection Improvement
Project will include a new roundabout construction on Bailey Road. There will be a temporary bypass installed during construction to keep
traffic flowing. There will be a section of Bailey Road that will be closed. The Bailey Road Trail Project (Woodlane to La Lake Park) is being
constructed by the County. The County is considering expanding Bailey Road going west through Newport. He mentioned that the 2026
Rejuvenator Project will make a difference in the pavement condition index score. The anticipated construction schedule for the Intrepid Fiber
to Home would be from April 2026 until December 2028. He displayed a photo of the neighborhoods and when they would be served. He
noted that they would begin by building a backbone.
Mayor Burt mentioned that the map includes a large portion of the metro area and asked if Mr. Hartzell could provide a map of just Woodbury
during the next meeting to provide additional clarity. Mr. Hartzell noted that the map is on woodburymn.gov/Fiber. Mayor Burt asked if any
homes were serviced yet. Mr. Hartzell replied that they needed to build a backbone, and then they would be able to complete an entire
neighborhood in a week. Individual property owners will be able to decide if they would like to connect. He agreed to bring back a clearer map
to the Council. He noted that there will not be much impact on communities, but residents will notice the construction crews mobilizing around
the City.
Mayor Burt asked how homeowners would be communicated to. Mr. Hartzell replied that the providers would follow the City’s communication
plan and would hang door hangers with information on how to contact them. He added that staff would include the information on the City’s
website. The primary communication would come from the contractors.
Mr. Hartzell stated the roadway and trail closure map is included on the website at woodburymn.gov/WaterTreatment. He encouraged the
community to sign up for InTouch to receive updates from the City.

## Background
To reduce Washington County’s reliance on solid waste disposal facilities, the County created the
Municipal Recycling Grant Program to support residential recycling efforts in individual communities.
The grant award amounts are based on a combination of number of households and projects per
year. The City currently receives the maximum grant award of $30,000 in base funding to support
administrative efforts and $60,816 in project-based funding for a total of $90,816.
Project funding may be used to support costs related to promotional efforts, data management, and
the purchase of recycling bins for City facilities. Examples of eligible grant projects include: the Green
Times newsletter, promotion of the Curbside Recycling Event, outreach and advertisement for the
Food Scraps Pick-Up Program, promotion and implementation of the Curbside Mattress Recycling
Event; and promotion of County-sponsored initiatives such as document shredding events, reuse
opportunities, and programs at the South Environmental Center.

## Subject:Approval of Bailey Development Environmental Assessment Worksheet Negative
## Declaration of Need for an Environmental Impact Statement
## Summary
An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) has been prepared for the proposed Bailey
Development project. This project is approximately 184 acres and is located north of Bailey Road
and east of the boundary between the City of Maplewood and the City of Woodbury. The EAW
examined the potential environmental effects of development of a proposed mixed residential, retail,
and business park. The proposed project will construct up to 360 attached residential units, 89,600
square feet of retail, and up to 660,400 square feet of business park (e.g., light industrial,
warehousing). Approximately 29 acres of Public/Semi-Public recreational area will also be included
in the project area. State and local agencies and residents have had an opportunity to comment on
the EAW and staff has responded to all substantive comments received.
Projects that meet or exceed the thresholds described in Minnesota State Statute Chapter 4410,
part 4410.4300 are required to complete an EAW. The Bailey Development project triggered the
need for an EAW under Minnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) Rules, Subpart 32: Mixed
residential and industrial-commercial projects. The EAW is not meant to approve or deny a project
but instead act as a source of information to guide other approvals and permitting decisions. Based
on the findings from the EAW, this project does not have the potential for significant environmental
impacts with appropriate mitigation as outlined in the EAW, and there is no need for the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The attached resolution formally approves the following:
1. The EAW was prepared in compliance with the procedures of the Minnesota Environmental Policy
Act and Minnesota Rules, Subpart 32: Mixed residential and industrial-commercial projects;
2. The EAW satisfactorily addressed the issues for which existing information could have been
reasonably obtained;
3. The Response to Comments, Findings of Fact, and the Record of Decision on the EAW
adequately addressed all submitted comments, and will be distributed by staff in accordance
with the EQB rules; and
4. The City Council makes a Negative Declaration, and an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is
not required.
## Council Letter 26-79

## Policy
Not applicable
## Public Process
The EAW for the Bailey Development was finalized February 17, 2026 (Bailey Development EAW).
Notice of the availability of the EAW for public review was published in the EQB Monitor on February
24, 2026. Copies of the EAW were sent to the required reviewing agencies prior to the publication
date. Public notice stating that a copy of the EAW was available for review at Woodbury City Hall and
on the City’s website was sent to the Pioneer Press as well as to the City’s InTouch email notification
list. The required 30-day comment period ended on March 26, 2026.
Comment letters were received from the following seven government agencies the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), Metropolitan
## Council (Met Council), Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), Washington Conservation
## District (WCD), Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD), Washington County, and
the City of Newport. None of the comments recommended the preparation of an EIS. In addition to
the government agencies, the City received 15 emails from the public. A summary of the comments
and responses are included in the Response to Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision
document (Response to Comments, Findings of Fact, and Record of Decision).
## Background
The Bailey Development project is a proposed mixed residential, retail, and business park on
approximately 184 acres in the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota. The project
includes the construction of up to 360 attached residential units, 89,600 square feet of retail, and
up to 660,400 square feet of business park (e.g., light industrial, warehousing). Approximately 29
acres of Public/Semi-Public recreational area will also be included in the project area. The project
will extend Century Avenue (C.S.A.H. 120) from its existing termini at Carver Avenue to Bailey Road.
One full-access intersection will be added to Bailey Road at the proposed Century Avenue (C.S.A.H.
120) intersection. The project will include a roadway network, stormwater infrastructure, and the
installation of municipal sewer and water systems.
The purpose of an EAW is to examine the anticipated environmental impacts of a project and
determine if the project will have the potential for significant environmental effects. If it is
determined that there is no potential for significant environmental effects, a negative declaration is
issued. If it is determined that there is the potential for significant environmental effects, more
detailed environmental review in the form of an EIS must be ordered.
## Council Letter 26-79
April 22, 2026

After considering the anticipated environmental impacts outlined in the EAW; the required mitigation
measures identified in the EAW to address potential traffic impacts; comments received from the
reviewing agencies; and the responses to the comments; staff has determined that there is no
potential for significant environmental effects associated with development of the Bailey
Development project if mitigation measures detailed in the EAW are followed. Project site plans will
incorporate the mitigation measures identified in the EAW; therefore, no EIS is necessary.

April 22, 2026
## To:The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
## From:Jeffrey Dahl, City Administrator
Subject: Approval of Authorization to Participate in the Council on Local Results and
## Innovation’s Performance Measurement Program
## Summary
In 2010, the State of Minnesota established a voluntary performance reporting program for cities
and counties and also created the Council on Local Results and Innovation (CLRI). The purpose of
the program is to provide cities and counties with incentives to develop, track and report
performance data on the critical services. The CLRI was tasked with establishing the set of measures
that cities/counties will report to the State in order to meet the requirements for receiving the
benefits of the program. The benefits include receiving a reimbursement of $0.14 (fourteen cents)
per capita, not to exceed $25,000. From 2011 through 2025, the City participated in the State’s
performance reporting program and received a reimbursement of $11,389 for participation in 2025.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing to participate in the
Performance Measurement Program established by the State of Minnesota and the Council on Local
Results and Innovation.
## Fiscal Implications
Participation in this program provides the City with a reimbursement of $0.14 per capita on an
annual basis, not to exceed $25,000, which would be paid in December. A revenue estimate of
$11,000 was budgeted as part of the 2026 Adopted Budget-General Fund.
## Policy
## None
## Public Process
This is the third public process for this item.
## Council Letter 26-80
April 22, 2026
Page 2
## Background
In order to participate in the program and receive the benefits, the City Council must formally adopt
the set of performance measures on an annual basis (see Standard Measures for Cities). The City of
Woodbury has a long-standing performance reporting program and already tracks the minimum
number of performance measures required; therefore, the City will not be required to develop any
new measures or procedures to participate in this program. In addition, the City will report on the
adopted measures to the State Auditor’s Office by their July 1 reporting deadline. Since this is a
voluntary program, the City could decide to withdraw its participation in a future year if it no longer
agrees with the requirements of the program. At the July 22 Council workshop meeting, Council will
be presented the City’s 2025 Performance Measures.

## Subject:Approval of 2025 Year End Transfers
## Summary
During the process of closing the financial records for 2025, various operating transfers are
necessary between funds. These transfers need to be acted on by the City Council before the
proceeds can be transferred to the specific funds. The transfers that are being presented for
approval excludes any transfers that were included in the 2025 Adopted Budget or were previously
approved by Council in a budget amendment.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the transfer of funds between
certain funds.
## Fiscal Implications
There are sufficient funds in the General Fund for the recommended transfers.
## Policy
Woodbury City Code Chapter 2, Sec. 2-312. - Closing, transfer and creation of funds. The City Council
shall possess the sole authority to close funds and transfer sums of money between funds. The
CFO/Controller is given the authority to create new funds as necessary.
## Public Process
Not applicable.
## Background
There are four transfers from the General Fund that staff is recommending for approval. Per policy,
at year-end the City maintains 30 percent of the following year’s General Fund adopted budget as
cash flow and the excess funds are transferred to other funds as designated by the Council. Staff is
recommending to increase the unassigned fund balance in the General Fund for operational cash
## Council Letter 26-81
April 22, 2026
Page 2
flow timing needs and maintain the total fund balance at approximately 43 percent of the next year’s
General Fund adopted budget.
Of the 2025 excess, staff recommends transferring an amount of $4,044,322 to other funds as
follows:
1. Transfer of $300,000 to the EMS Fire Fund. The 2025 Adopted General Fund Budget
includes an operating transfer-in from the EMS Fire Fund for personnel and EMS associated
operating costs. Due to unfilled positions in 2025 and other related expenditures, budget
savings were realized, and these funds can be transferred back to the EMS Fire Fund for
future needs.
2. Transfer of $2,300,000, the remaining excess of fund balance per policy, to the Capital
Improvement Fund.
3. Transfer of $1,304,322 to the Public Safety Expansion Fund for project needs. This
recommendation was identified as a funding source at the February 25, 2026, Council
meeting approving the Public Safety Expansion project, awarding construction contracts, and
budget amendments.
4. Transfer of $140,000, the positive expenditure variance of the Street Lighting Division, to the
Street Lighting Utility Fund. Beginning with the 2026 Adopted Budget, the Street Lighting
Utility Fund accounts for the expenses previously accounted for in the General Fund - Street
Lighting Division.
These transfers need to be acted on by the City Council before the proceeds can be transferred to
the specific funds presented on the resolution.

increases as follows:
## Division
## Budget Adjustment
## Increase/(Decrease)
Police $187,800
EMS Fire $74,100
Streets $34,200
Fleet $15,000
Parks and Forestry $38,900
## Unallocated Contingency$(350,000)
Adjust the General Fund – Finance division budget by $26,459 for Salaries-Regular
exceeding the budget due to two long-term employee retirement severance pays. Committed
fund balance for compensated absences will be used to offset this variance per the Fund
Balance Policy CD-FIN-5.4.
Adjust the General Fund – Police division budget by $21,382 for unspent Congressionally
Directed Funds for the squad/body/room camera replacement project that was originally
budgeted in the Capital Improvement Fund. The equipment purchases were completed in
2025 and the remaining budget needs reallocation to the operational budget for the camera
subscription services offset by reallocation of the grant funding as well to the General Fund.
Adjust the General Fund – Unallocated budget to transfer $300,000 from the General Fund
to the EMS Fire Fund. This amount will be funded from the positive expenditure variances in
the EMS Fire Division.
Adjust the General Fund – Unallocated budget to transfer an additional $2,300,000 from the
General Fund to the Capital Improvement Fund. This amount, along with the adopted 2025
budget transfer of $500,000, will be funded from unassigned fund balance and positive
revenue and expenditure variances.
Adjust the General Fund – Unallocated budget to transfer $1,304,322 from the General
Fund to the Public Safety Expansion Fund. This funding source was identified at the February
25, 2026, Council meeting approving the Public Safety Expansion project, construction
contracts, and budget amendments.
Adjust the General Fund – Unallocated budget to transfer $140,000 from the General Fund
to the Street Lighting Utility Fund. This amount is the positive expenditure variance of the
Street Lighting Division. Beginning with the 2026 Adopted Budget, the Street Lighting Utility
Fund accounts for the expenses previously accounted for in the General Fund-Street Lighting
Division.
## Capital Improvement Fund
Adjust the Capital Improvement Fund – Decrease budget by $21,382 for unspent
Congressionally Directed Funds for the Police small equipment squad/body/room camera
replacement project that will be finalized in 2026 in the General Fund-Police division.

## Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Fund
Adjust the HRA Fund by $7,674. The Uncollectible Accounts in 2025 exceeded budget due to
a loan account being partially written off during the year (HRA Resolution 25-05 July 30,
2025). Funding is provided by a positive budget variance from Interest Earned.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution approving various 2025 final budget
adjustments.
## Fiscal Implications
The various budget adjustments are required for budgetary legal compliance and approve final
spending authority.

## To:The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
## From:Jeffrey J. Dahl, City Administrator
Subject:Approval of Budget Carryovers from 2025 to 2026; Authorization for Use of Funds
## Summary
The 2025 adjusted budgets included funds to do several projects or purchases that were not
completed or received by the end of 2025. Staff is now recommending to Council that these funds
be carried forward to the 2026 budget.
Also, with consolidation of all roadway improvement projects into the Street
Reconstruction/Maintenance Fund in the 2026 Adopted Budget, projects still in progress in the
Municipal State Aid (MSA) Roadway Construction Fund at the end of 2025 require Council
authorization for use of funds to appropriate project completion.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution approving various carryovers to the 2026
budget and authorization for use of funds for the Municipal State Aid Roadway Construction Fund.
## Fiscal Implications
Carryovers are generally funded from fund/reserve balance. However, since the appropriation was
not expended in 2025, it was automatically transferred to fund/reserve balance at December 31,
2025, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Funding for 2025 carryovers will
come from the use of fund/reserve balance for all requested carryovers except those that have
specific funding sources.
Sufficient fund balance is also available in the MSA Roadway Construction Fund for authorization for
the use of funds to complete roadway projects at the end of 2025. Projects are planned to finalize in
2026 and the MSA Roadway Construction Fund will be closed during final 2026 year end processes.
## Policy
It has been the City’s historical practice to carryover funding from the prior year for completion of
projects or purchases.

April 22, 2026
## To:The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
## From:Jeffrey J. Dahl, City Administrator
## Subject:Consider Approval Amendment to Chapter 9 Franchises, Section 9-6 CenterPoint
## Energy Resources Corp.-Gas Franchise Fee, Schedule A
## Summary
In July 2025 the City was contacted with a request from property owners at 3160 Manning Ave. to be
exempted from our CenterPoint Energy franchise fee for their grain dryer operation. Due to changes
implemented by CenterPoint Energy, their fees would increase from $90/year to approximately over
$1,000/year. The grain dryer is only used in the month of October (sometimes in November) to dry
field corn according to the property owners.
Staff reviewed the details of the request, evaluated legal options, confirmed this is the only such
operation in the City, and met with CenterPoint Energy. Consideration of the exemption before
Council was delayed due to staff’s need to evaluate the overall financial condition of the Parks &
Trails Replacement Fund and franchise fees. Essentially, if an ordinance change was to be
considered staff wanted to review that no other changes to fees would be recommended. At the
conclusion of such review, as part of our development of the 2027-2031 CIP, staff does not
recommend any changes to franchise fees and is therefore recommending to Council consideration
of this specific exemption.
Property owners have been updated regarding the City’s process since their original request. Staff
have worked with CenterPoint Energy on this process, and they have provided their concurrence on
proposed changes. Similar exemptions have been provided by other cities due to this change. Due to
notification requirements, an amended ordinance would not be effective until August 1, 2026.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the ordinance amending Chapter 9 Franchises, Section 9-6
CenterPoint Energy Resources Corp.-Gas Franchise Fee, Schedule A.
## Fiscal Implications
Providing this exemption will have a minimal impact on overall franchise fees collected. For 2025,
the City collected $81,287 in fees through CenterPoint Energy and $2,409,645 through Xcel Energy.

## 008/GR-21-435
## Public Process
This is the first public process for this agenda item. The draft ordinance was posted on the City’s
website and an InTouch notice was sent 10 days prior to the Council meeting, per standard
procedures.
## Background
CenterPoint Energy completed changes to their grain dryer tariff, notifying the City in July 2025. A
tariff is just what they call their fee schedule for different classifications of customers. All grain dryers
were moved to a new tariff that requires them to be on their system all year, even though they are
only using natural gas about two months of the year. Previously they would only be active when they
needed to be. However, this meant they’d have to call CenterPoint and they would have to send out a
technician to physically unlock their meter for them to use gas. The new tariff allows them to be on
their system for the entire year and is beneficial for both grain dryers and CenterPoint. Owners don’t
have to worry about planning ahead and calling CenterPoint and they don’t have to send someone
out to unlock their meter.
Many of CenterPoint Commercial/Industrial customers take service under the CenterPoint
Interruptible Large Volume Dual Fuel (LVDF) and Small Volume Dual Fuel (SVDF) tariffs:
Large Volume Dual Fuel (LVDF) tariff - $1,250/mo. basic + $18/mo. telemetry charge (plus
gas, delivery, etc.)
Small Volume Dual Fuel (SVDF) tariff - $80/mo. basic charge + $18/mo. telemetry charge
(plus gas, delivery, etc.)
Grain dryers previously took service under SVDF and LVDF tariffs but only paid the (above) applicable
monthly basic fee + telemetry charge for the months they consumed gas (typically two months), then
they were physically locked. For the remaining 10 months they were not active/not consuming gas
on the system they paid $0/mo.
On February 1, 2023, CenterPoint offered a new agricultural grain dryer tariff and it was determined
that all grain dryers must take service under this new tariff. Both CenterPoint and grain dryer
customers benefited from the tariff requiring grain dryers be active on the system for all 12 months.
Grain dryer customers now will take service under this Interruptible Agricultural Grain Dryer Sales
## Service Tariff:
Small Volume – When consuming natural gas = $80/mo. basic chg. + $18/mo. telemetry
chg. (typically 2 months) When they consume < 10 therms natural gas = $17/mo. basic chg.
+ $0 telemetry chg. (typically 10 months).
## Council Letter 26-84
April 22, 2026
Page 3
Large Volume – When consuming natural gas = $1250/mo. + $18/mo. telemetry (again
typically 2 months) When they consume <10 therms natural gas $17/mo. basic chg. + $0
telemetry chg. (typically 10 months).
Unfortunately, requiring grain dryer accounts to be active all 12 months had the unintended
consequence of some grain dryer customers incurring City franchise fees for all 12 months.
CenterPoint understood this issue and has been working with cities to exempt grain dryers, if
desired. As the City received a direct request from the property owners of a grain dryer operation for
an exemption, consideration is being provided to City Council.

## Background
As part of the City’s ongoing pavement management program, roadway rehabilitation projects are
performed annually to provide a cost-effective means of extending the life expectancy of the City
street system. The scope of the project includes removal and replacement of existing pavement,
spot curb replacement, full curb replacement in limited areas to address drainage issues, some trail
and pedestrian safety improvements, and storm water improvements.
This project is a public improvement and the necessary steps in the Section 429 process have been
taken. The notice of special assessment hearing was published and sent to the individual
homeowners. The hearing notice contained the notification that stated persons 65 years of age or
older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability may apply to the City Council for
deferment of the assessment.
On December 9, 2025, City staff was approached by resident Dean Duffy of 2750 Woodlane Drive to
receive improvements with the Woodlane Drive (Bailey Road to Wooddale Drive) Pavement
Rehabilitation Project. The proposal involves constructing a water and sanitary service from
Woodlane Drive to the adjacent property line. This improvement allows the resident to connect
private services to the City’s water and sanitary sewer system due to a failing septic system and
private well. Staff reviewed the request and found it possible to include in the project. A petition was
signed and delivered to staff on March 25,2026. This property is to be added to the assessment roll
for the Woodlane Drive (Bailey Road to Wooddale Drive) Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
Staff recommends including the property at 2750 Woodlane Drive to the assessment roll.

## Summary
In order to provide a safe and efficient transportation system, the City is proposing to convert
Woodlane Drive between Newbury Road and Wooddale Drive from a four-lane roadway to a three-
lane roadway with two-way center left turn lanes with a combination of roadway rehabilitation and
restriping. These types of projects have been shown to reduce crashes, reduce vehicle speeds, and
create a more accessible road for all users with no significant impact to vehicle capacity. In 2023,
the City was awarded a Highway Safety improvement Program (HSIP) grant which will contribute
approximately $1,000,000 to the project. The proposed project includes approximately 2.2 miles of
collector roadway along the Woodlane Drive corridor as shown on the attached map.
On June 25, 2025, Council held a Public Improvement Hearing for the current project scope,
approved the preliminary report, ordered the project, authorized preparation of the plans and
specifications, acquisition, and if necessary, condemnation of easements.
Bids for the Woodlane Drive (Bailey Road to Wooddale Drive) Pavement Rehabilitation Project were
opened on March 10, 2026. A total of three responsible bids were received ranging from
$5,687,344.06 to $6,254,748.03. The lowest responsible bidder was McNamara Contracting.
To proceed with the Woodlane Drive (Bailey Road to Wooddale Drive) Pavement Rehabilitation
Project, the Council is requested to hold the assessment hearing, award the construction contract,
amend the 2026 Adopted Budget, and approve execution of a Letter of Engagement (LOE) for
professional construction administration services with SEH, Inc., in the amount of $662,900.
## Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution awarding the construction contract to
McNamara Contracting in the amount of $5,687,344.06 for the Woodlane Drive (Bailey Road to
Wooddale Drive) Pavement Rehabilitation Project and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator

## Background
The City applied for a federal grant within the Highway Safety improvement Program (HSIP) category
along Woodlane Drive, reconfiguring travel lanes from the existing four-lane to a three-lane
configuration in 2022. The City has been systematically reconfiguring its four-lane undivided
roadways through these restriping projects to improve safety. Poor existing pavement conditions,
aging public utilities, inadequate storm sewer infrastructure and rising crash rates have been main
drivers for the City to evaluate the needs in the corridor.
In 2023, the City was awarded Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funding
for this project to the amount of $1,000,000 for these improvements. On October 23, 2024, the City
authorized acceptance of the HSIP grant and execution of agreements with for Woodlane Drive
Pavement Rehabilitation Project.
