3. AGENDA
A. Cannabis Business - Zoning Standards
Staff Recommendation: Receive information regarding the proposed Zoning Standards
and provide feedback.
Mayor Bailey stated that our City Attorney, Kori Land, will walk us through this and welcomed
her.
Attorney Land stated we’ve broken this into two segments because the legislation in 2023-2024
is about changes, so, it’s a lot of rules, a lot of regulations. There are basically two parts to it: 1)
The registration process the City will have to adopt; we can no longer license any of these uses,
but we can register them. 2) The Zoning, which is the bigger piece, and that’s where we can
have our focus on health, safety, and welfare regulations as well as time, place, and manner
restrictions that the legislature has allowed cities to impose.
Because we have obviously a bigger process when we go through a Zoning Ordinance
Amendment, it has to go to the Planning Commission for a public hearing and a
recommendation, and then it can go to the Council; we need a little bit more rope on that one,
so we wanted to get the zoning piece in front of you to make sure that you’re comfortable with
it so we can get it in front of the Planning Commission. This gives us just a little bit more time to
do that.
As you know, we have a moratorium on all of the cannabis uses; so, our CBD Ordinance,
which we have in place today is what it is and it’s allowed to be continued, but no new cannabis
uses can come in through December 31, 2024. The legislature in their 2024 session said all
moratoriums have to expire on January 1, 2025. It’s not that they’ll be ready to do anything on
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 2 of 15
January 1, but that’s when everybody’s moratorium has to expire. So, just in case they magically
get everything together and are ready to issue their licenses, we want to be ready with our
Ordinances by then. Just to make sure we get through our process in a timely manner with
Zoning first and then we’ll adopt all the City Code things together. I will come back to you at
another workshop to discuss the City Code Registration Process Amendments because there
are things that you need to kind of work through on how you want to implement and whether
or not you want to allow. If you have any questions along the way, some of it I might say we’ll
talk at the next meeting and some of it we can answer and address tonight. So, we’ll try to get
through it as painlessly as possible, but it is a lot of information and it’s a lot of new things.
To remind you, what we have on the books today is from the 2022 legislation, which is the
low potency; we called it at the time cannabinoid, or CBD, that’s our ordinance that’s on the
books so we licensed CBD, but that is now called lower-potency edibles. So, basically, it’s
everything that’s under .3% THC, it is made from a hemp plant product, and they’re putting that
into a category of low potency. So, that’s what we have today, we allow low-potency edibles in
B-3, P-B, and MU Zoning Districts. We do have buffer zones that are applied to those Zoning
Districts; for example, we have 1,000 feet between cannabis uses, we have 1,000 feet from
schools and parks. I don’t think we did daycares because it just got a little bit too convoluted
with all the residential daycares. So, we do have those buffer zones applied to the lower-
potency uses, and we also restrict the number of licenses. We’ve only had one apply: High
North grabbed that one in the MU Zoning District, so they are the only existing low-potency
edible cannabis use; they’re the only company in town that can sell any kind of cannabis.
Now, in the 2023-2024 legislation, the legislature has decided there are 13 different kinds of
cannabis uses; fortunately, a lot of these can be lumped together. So, we don’t have to zone
each and every use because they kind of go in the same categories of uses: So, it’s the adult use
and regardless of whether it’s the adult use or low potency, they all fit into these categories.
There are two kinds of low potency: Beverages and edibles. Beverages can be sold at on-sale
liquor establishments and off-sale liquor establishments; we currently prohibit that and other
cities do as well. So, you can prohibit that, but the law allows it, and there are a lot of other
cities that have just sort of let the market do what it does and let businesses do it without cities
imposing any regulations on it. So, the low potency is retail beverages and edibles.
Then there’s adult use retail, that’s a separate category. A lot of those uses on the previous
page with the microbusiness and the mezzobusiness, those are really manufacturing. There’s a
lot of material in my memo that helps outline all of this, but the micro and mezzo business are
basically your seed; so they’re cultivating, harvesting, manufacturing a product, and then
actually selling it in a retail store, and it can also get an onsite consumption license. It’s the
farm-to-table approach for cannabis; the microbusiness is just a smaller scale than the
mezzobusiness, so there are statutory regulations around what kind of size, the maximum size.
But just to be aware, the legislature did give themselves the authority to basically waive those
limitations, so they can allow more and they can allow bigger if they think it’s appropriate. So,
then there’s manufacturing, wholesaling, transporter; those are all very industrial kinds of uses.
So, that’s why we’ve clumped the manufacturing industrial kind of use. Then, of course, there’s
the farm use, which is the cultivation. So, those are the basic categories we’ll be talking about. I
City Council Special Meeting

put some maps in your packet, so we’ll be going through the maps to make sure that you’re
comfortable with the use in these zones, which are in these areas. You can really picture them
opening up in these particular areas if you’re comfortable with that.
Lower-potency edibles are in the B3, PB, and MU, so that’s where they are currently allowed
with buffers for permitted uses. We’re recommending a little bit differently, now that we’ve
seen there’s only one. We had some other stores request to apply, but we have the
moratorium in place so they couldn’t; there have been a couple of tobacco shops who’ve
expressed interest. These are the only Zoning Districts where they would be allowed, and our
recommendation is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) so no more permitted use; they would have
to come to the City for a CUP. We would still use the 1,000-foot buffer between cannabis uses
so we don’t get kind of a cluster of stores in any one location, but we would remove the other
buffers, so, no 1,000-foot from schools or parks.
Council Member Olsen said when we went through the exercise of updating all of our City
Ordinances, etc., one of the things we talked about was the solicitation of CUPs vs. standard
permits. So, how do you apply that logic to this?
Attorney Land replied these uses are special; they need extra special loving care because
cannabis, especially adult-use retail, is not Federally legal, right? So, it’s illegal under the
Federal law; it’s still a catch business, so we need to have extra conditions on it. Here’s the real
key because we have no authority to license these uses anymore, we can only register them; if
they violate a provision of our Code, if it’s an emergency, we can shut them down right away. If
it’s a public health, safety, welfare issue, we can shut them down for up to 30 days, that’s our
max, that’s all we get to do, and the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) can unlock the
door, they can overrule us. Our only control is through Zoning; if one of these businesses turns
out to be a bad actor, we can revoke their CUP and there’s nothing OCM can do about it.
Council Member Olsen said that answers the question, thank you.
Attorney Land said so the question on low potency is are you okay with removing the buffer
zones and allowing basically these low-potency shops, like High North today, in any of these
spots on the map that are in B3, MU, and PB? We would just have the distance between stores,
so you couldn’t have a gazillion stores in every strip mall because they’d have to have 1,000
feet between them.
Council Member Khambata asked what’s to prevent these low-potency establishments from
being able to sell higher-potency stuff in the future? Say something at the State level comes
down, for instance the State Statute that says our moratorium has to expire at the end of the
year, if next year they say you can’t restrict or zone it by potency, then you’re going to have
establishments that are going to say we’re already here and we want to sell it. What recourse
or leverage will we have in a scenario like that?
Attorney Land replied we can’t predict what the legislature is going to do, so I think what we
need to go on is a history of what we know, and that is High North has been a good corporate
citizen. I do believe they did fail the one compliance check we did, but actually just about every
shop that I represent in every city did fail. There’s just been too much misinformation out there
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 4 of 15
about who can purchase these products. But other than that, I think they’ve been a good
citizen; I don’t think they’ve had like a line out the door for their products, they haven’t had a
bunch of teenagers hanging out there. So, I don’t think that these low-potency shops are your
high risk, they are technically Federally legal because they are a hemp product, under .3% THC,
so they are not considered a drug. Now, granted, you take too many of them and I can
guarantee you it will treat them like they were on drugs, but they are Federally legal. So, the
low-potency ones I don’t think we’re as concerned about. We still have a CUP if they’re a bad
actor, but they would have to go through the State licensing process to become an adult-use
retail; right now, estimates are that it costs about a million dollars to open an adult-use retail
store because of all the security measures that have to go into it. I don’t think that is going to
change that easily to make them just be able to flip the switch to adult use. So, are we
comfortable that this is a good spot for low-potency stores, retail stores?
Mayor Bailey replied yeah.
Council Member Garza said I apologize for being late, but I have some questions. For these
retail-sales stores, are those different than liquor stores? Attorney Land replied we don’t zone
liquor, so they can basically go in any commercial Zoning District.
Council Member Garza asked so why is there a difference between this and the liquor
stores? Attorney Land replied this is what the Council discussed back in 2022 when the
legislation became effective was this is where they felt that cannabis-type businesses should go
because they’re more of a freeway than a neighborhood business.
Mayor Bailey asked don’t we have proximity, though, to certain similar stores out there?
Attorney Land replied yes, we do, based on distance. Mayor Bailey said I remember Council
discussed another one that wanted to come in across from Top Ten, and they weren’t allowed
to do that.
Council Member Garza said I just wondered why there was a difference with these two
types. Attorney Land said it was decided and we went through a very lengthy process in
discussing where you wanted these uses and discussed all the different zones, and it was just
felt like these higher-traffic commercial zones were more appropriate for any kind of a cannabis
use.
Council Member Olsen asked what would your recommendation be? Attorney Land replied
I’m actually comfortable that these stores are not high risk; we still need to do compliance
checks on them because it is still a 21 and over product with 21 and over employees, so we will
still be doing the recommended enforcement standpoint and we will still be monitoring them.
But I just don’t see them as high target, given that adult use is going to become legal, I don’t
think that they’re high risk.
Mayor Bailey stated I’m good with this. My question is along West Point Douglas Road, isn’t
there a tobacco place going in by the Bulletin License Center? Attorney Land replied yes, and it
does qualify. Mayor Bailey said I just didn’t see the color, that’s why I was questioning it. Mayor
Bailey said I just want to make sure that we weren’t excluding anything. Council Member
Thiede asked that’s in the PB area, right? Attorney Land confirmed that.
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 5 of 15
Council Member Olsen asked Administrator Levitt if she had concerns about that and she did
not.
Attorney Land said with adult-use retail, now we’re applying our buffer zones: So, it’s 1,000 feet
from schools, which is the maximum we can do per the legislation; 500 feet from a park
attraction, so, it’s not the park border, it’s the park attraction that would attract minors, so its a
playground, its a restroom, its a pavilion, its a picnic table, those kinds of things, we even
included disk golf features. So, we really tried to be mindful of where the park attraction itself
was located and then out 500 feet. So, the school buffer is yellow, the park attraction buffer is
blue, and then we also did daycares in a commercial Zoning District because this is just clearly
the commercial area. I know we discussed before about daycares in residential zones, it gets a
little too complicated, but we felt like it was important that you don’t want cannabis use,
especially adult-use cannabis use, right next to a daycare that happens to be in the same mall
or next to it; as in this case, O2B Kids is located next to a strip mall. So, we feel that was an
appropriate, compatible use, so we wanted to apply the 500 feet from a daycare rule if the
daycare’s in a commercial Zoning District. So, those are the pink buffers in the upper-left
corner.
Council Member Khambata said so there’s really only like a couple places in town where it
would be allowed once you apply all those buffers.
Attorney Land said once you apply the buffers, if you look at the green boxes, those are the
parcels of land where adult-use retail could be sold. Now, the MU with the green bubble
around it, that green bubble is representing High North. We don’t know that High North is
necessarily going to stay low potency or whether it’s adult use, but we put a green bubble
around it because it exists today. So, that green bubble may or may not be there, and the buffer
between cannabis uses can’t be applied until we know for sure we have a cannabis use. So,
today we have one in this location, but again, that green bubble may not be there next year.
Attorney Land stated let me just show you another option if you feel like this is a little too
restrictive for adult-use retail, knowing that first of all, that the lower potency can go anywhere
in the zone, adult-use retail would be limited to green boxes; if you feel like that’s not enough
options, we offered a reduced buffer from schools to 500 feet, and we remove the buffer
around High North, because again we don’t know what they’re going to do. So, you take off
that green bubble and it opens up all those other uses around Target, but then it opens up, all
of the yellow ones, the schools, shrunk. So, here you can see the yellow eats up a lot more of
the pink and here it shrinks it just a little bit, opens up a few more green boxes. Just to see what
it would look like; I don't know if that is something that you want to allow from schools, just to
be a little bit closer, or if you’d want to change the one for parks. We can make the bubbles
anything you want if you feel like you need to open up more spaces.
Council Member Olsen said I’m looking at potential use, I’ll just say obviously we have
Holiday Train in those areas; would restrictions go on during certain times then? Attorney Land
replied no.
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 6 of 15
Council Member Garza said so my question again is how does this restriction relate to liquor
stores? Because we have quite a few of those in the areas that you have on this map and all,
but will those be the same type of restrictions? Do we want them by schools, do we want them
by parks? This would just be adult use, right?
Attorney Land replied no, I don’t think it is, and I think that the marijuana is significantly
different than alcohol, and we don’t have any restrictions from other uses for liquor stores.
Council Member Thiede said I guess I would have a tendency to go more restrictive, it can
always get less restrictive but we’re not going to ever probably get more restrictive. Council
Member Khambata said I agree with Dave.
Mayor Bailey said so here’s my question, though; so, you’re agreeing to hold back, which is
High North? Attorney Land stated right. Mayor Bailey asked if they decided they wanted to do
the adult use, would they be able to do that?
Attorney Land replied yes, they would because they are outside of the yellow and outside
the orange; so, you take away the green and all of that pink ball around Target would be
eligible.
Mayor Bailey stated okay, because as I’m looking at it, maybe I’m just saying it wrong, is the
green their proximity?
Attorney Land replied yes, the green bubble is solely because of them, so they can be in it
and then nobody else would be.
Mayor Bailey stated correct, but the bubble, does that go into the yellow and from the
school?
Attorney Land replied it does, but it just overlaps. It wouldn’t be allowed in the school here
either, but High North is south, I’m thinking outside of the yellow.
Mayor Bailey stated I just didn’t know where. Attorney Land stated it’s a little hard to tell
specifically where it is, but.
Council Member Thiede stated you couldn’t have another retail shop inside that green,
okay? And High North is actually outside of the yellow or outside of that orange.
Mayor Bailey said so the green is just the distance of what did you say it was? Attorney Land
replied 1,000 feet from other cannabis uses. Mayor Bailey said okay, and the only reason I bring
it up is we already know that they move from the one location so that they can sell what they
did from this location and turn around and now you can’t sell the next thing there; so, I’m
thinking they’re probably going to wave their finger at us, going what are you guys doing?
Because they’ve been trying to follow our rules.
Attorney Land said yes, like I said, they’ve been a good corporate citizen, I think
Mayor Bailey said yes, I think so, too. So, if that’s the case, because right now they’re the
only one anyway, but if that’s the case, that’s not going to cause them issues with these other
yellow or with the 1,000.
Attorney Land said here’s the nice thing about putting all this in Zoning, right? Like Council
Member Thiede got us to the point of let’s start more restrictive, and if we find out that we
need to or can loosen it up, we’ll do that later. Because when you put something in Zoning,
uses become legal by conformity. So, if you change the restriction to try to make it harsher,
they will not have to comply once they are established. So, we can’t go a bigger buffer later;
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 7 of 15
you start bigger and then we can contract it if we find it’s too restrictive. The other thing that’s
nice about Zoning is if we find out that by a foot or two, High North is accidentally in the yellow
bubble, they can apply for a variance. So, that’s another tool in Zoning that allows a special
exception. So, Option 1 is what I’m hearing, and that was confirmed.
Administrator Levitt asked Attorney Land you have the performance standards for the hours of
operation; who dictates that?
Attorney Land replied well, State law says it can’t be before 10:00 a.m., and cities can restrict
it but 9:00 p.m. is the earliest you can restrict it; they can be open as late as 2:00 a.m. under
State law. But I did obviously the most conservative is 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; you could allow
them to be open late, you could say hours of operation per State law, and then they can just
decide their own. I just put 9:00 p.m. because if it’s a retail, I don't know why it needs to be
open past 9:00 p.m., as typically retail stores are not.
Mayor Bailey stated we’re open until 10:00 p.m.
Council Member Olsen said there are some retailers who are open later, obviously, but he
asked Administrator Levitt if she had a thought on kind of how you’d like to see that play out?
Administrator Levitt replied no, this is really your conversation, what times you want.
Council Member Thiede said again, I’d probably lean toward the more restrictive, and if we
get a lot of people complaining, saying I’m losing all this business because I have to close an
hour earlier than I want to, then we can make changes.
Council Member Khambata said I was going to say if I’m a business owner, I might find the
sales after 9:00 p.m. was probably low anyway. I would be fine closing at 9:00 p.m., but like if
somebody complains about it, thinks it should be later, then we can just say the State says.
Attorney Land said and there’s no onsite consumption, so it truly is just basically like off-sale
retail.
Council Member Khambata said I don't know, I guess could that could be something we
change later on, too, right? Attorney Land replied absolutely. Council Member Khambata said
again, why try to fix a problem that doesn’t exist here; if somebody has a problem with 9:00 to
5:00, come and tell us.
Council Member Olsen said if we give them, let’s say 10:00 to 10:00, that doesn’t mean they
can’t close earlier than 10:00. Attorney Land said right, they can choose; Council Member Olsen
said but that’s their ceiling, so I would suggest that.
Mayor Bailey said I personally would, not all of my stores that I operate close at 10:00, some
close at 8:00, and it’s relative to the area. I think if we did 10:00, that is enough. Because if they
try to say they want to go to 11:00 or something, most of our Business Districts, including some
of our bars and restaurants, aren’t open past.
Council Member Thiede asked why did you choose 9:00 p.m. in the first place? Attorney
Land replied because that’s what State law says is the earliest you can require them to close, so
I was just again being conservative.
Mayor Bailey stated since it’s required kind of early, before 10:00, I’m guessing if we do
10:00 to 10:00, it’s a 12-hour day.
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 8 of 15
Council Member Olsen said and if they choose to do something earlier than that, that’s
possible. Mayor Bailey said it’s their choice, but I’m not interested in going past 10:00 p.m.
Attorney Land stated now we’re going to get into the nitty gritty, low-potency beverages. We
talked about this last year when the legislature said beverages are now allowed at liquor stores.
There’s a lot of them out there, but cities don’t regulate them. So, there’s a lot of liquor stores
knocking at your door for over a year to try to sell them. On-sale liquor establishments, bars
and restaurants, can sell it as well under the new law right now. So, I wanted to revisit this to
just gauge your position to see if it’s changed. You still can prohibit it, most cities are not, at
least for liquor stores for sure. I did have my meeting, this same presentation in Stillwater last
night, and they do not want their on-sale bars and restaurants to be selling this. So, we don’t
want to be the test case; they have 41 on-sale liquor licenses in town and it could be a very big
problem to try to manage so they didn’t want to be the first to have every bar and restaurant
selling THC beverages. You only have 8 on-sale liquor licenses, and I don’t think every one of
them would choose to sell this, so you could let the market just dictate it if you want to and
allow it in on-sale and off-sale for that matter. So, I put the stars and triangles to show where
we have on-sale and off-sale liquor, so these are the potential locations where they would be
sold.
Public Safety Director Koerner stated outside of Minnesota, even down in Florida, it’s just
commonplace. So, I think you just leave it, let it be part of what it already is.
Attorney Land stated our recommendation actually is it’s basically a permitted use in any
Zoning Districts without any buffer zones, so not requiring to be 1,000 feet from each other,
and I know the liquor stores already have that. Part of the reason is let’s just say it became a
problem with overserving, we already have an on-sale liquor license penalty grid to deal with
the businesses that are a problem; whether it’s liquor or with cannabis, we will address it one
way or the other through their liquor license. So, if you want to allow them in on-sale, I think
we have the ability to try to rein it back in if it becomes a problem business and just let it be,
month to month we figure it out.
Mayor Bailey stated so we’ll let the market dictate it in this case. It’s low potency pretty
much out there everywhere.
Council Member Khambata stated whether we regulate it or not, they’re going to do it.
Where to her point, just like with overserving alcohol, if an establishment is overserving, then
they’re going to risk their liquor license, which is a lot more valuable than selling whatever
product they’re selling and deal with it on the back end.
Council Member Olsen said I’m assuming I know the answer to this question already, but I
just want to ask for the sake of me being able to sleep at night. Can people be pulled over and
charged with DUI for use of this stuff?
Attorney Land replied yes, it’s the same. Currently, obviously, there have been people pulled
over for being high; the problem is we don’t, I don't know with the beverages if there’s any
difference than with the smoking. I don't know if we can tell when they took it. We certainly
have drug experts that we use with the DUI enforcement.
City Council Special Meeting

Council Member Olsen asked is that a thing? Council Member Khambata said they have a
pilot program, and they have like a pilot test program for testing for THC.
Director Koerner said I know they’re talking about that, but the answer is yes, we can
enforce under the influence of alcohol, THC, all of that. It’s just more of a challenge that
sometimes you’d have to call in a Drug Recognition Expert; right now, most of those would
come from State Patrol.
Council Member Olsen said yeah, because they can’t blow, right? You’d have to get blood in
order to identify what the substance is.
Director Koerner said this morning we arrested a woman for too many pills, so we had to do
the blood draw and all that. Sergeant McCormick said essentially, it’s if it impairs your ability to
operate a vehicle.
Council Member Olsen said okay, so your authority is broad enough for it; Attorney Land said
oh, yeah. Council Member Olsen said okay, I would say just let it be then.
Attorney Land stated so now we’re getting into the Industrial Zone. As you know, we have a big
Industrial Park, all of a couple areas with the buffer zones I think we’re pretty confident we can
assume we want them to stay doing it; so the buffer zone around them is 1,000 feet from their
use, that bubble will stay and in the parks and in the residential. We added a residential bubble,
and it has to be 500 feet from residential, because with manufacturing there’s a stink, and we
know these people already have an odor that we have not quite figured out how to manage
yet. We are in the Performance Standards going to recommend that we actually adopt an Odor
Ordinance because they have been a problem, they don’t seem to care, and we don’t know
how to get a good handle on it without any standards in place.
Council Member Thiede said I thought all this had been taken care of because we haven’t heard
about that. Council Member Olsen stated I did, too, because we addressed all that when they
came to town.
Attorney Land stated we actually did, we required them to put in odor mitigation, we
required them to do testing and sufficient testing. Everybody that was on board at the time is
now gone, and nobody knows how to use their equipment. We need to readdress it, and we
need to make sure nobody else comes to town and has a problem. So, we can do that,
fortunately.
Council Member Khambata asked so with that in mind, is 500 feet from a residential area the
appropriate distance to mitigate that aspect?
Attorney Land replied it’s breathing distance; honestly, if the wind’s blowing in the right
direction, you can’t get away from it. Now, you are fortunate that you happen to have the same
City Attorney who actually drafted the Odor Ordinance in South St. Paul, which has now gone to
the Federal Court of Appeals and withstood the challenges that the big giant Sanimax attorneys
brought and it is valid. And so we’re going to take that Ordinance, which has been held to be
constitutional, nondiscriminatory, and modify it to fit our purposes. So, we can get there with
an Odor Ordinance, enforcement is tricky.
Council Member Khambata said I was going to ask what are the teeth of that Ordinance?
Attorney Land replied, fines are going to be the teeth.
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 10 of 15
Council Member Thiede asked so have we had actual complaints? Attorney Land replied
that’s the tricky thing about an Industrial Park; nobody wants to rat out their neighbors because
everybody kind of has their own issues, right, in an Industrial Park. Council Member Thiede
stated I know that the people who were most vocal lived right north of the Industrial Park,
right?
Director Koerner said I’m not aware of any complaints to the Police Department about the
odor; it’s usually the noise from some of the others.
Mayor Bailey stated this question is for my knowledge: So, when we approved at the time
Leafline Labs, we were very specific about the odor and the scrubbers and stuff that might
affect, was it Pennsylvania or Philadelphia or someplace that had issues; was that part of their
Development Agreement with us?
Emily Schmitz, Community Development Director, replied we didn’t have a Development
Agreement; as part of the Resolution to their Site Plan that they have odor mitigation and all of
the regulations are in there. They have not been held to probably to task on many things.
Mayor Bailey said okay, and Director Schmitz said it’s because nobody’s complained, and
that’s part of the issue is that there haven’t been complaints about it. We know that they do
still have an odor, as witnessed today, but we just haven’t done anything to enforce it yet. And
I’ll add part of their approval was to submit to us their testing in some different locations on the
site on a regular basis, so I will add they have done that; but Kori makes a good point about
how will we enforce this mezzo manger, which don’t ask me the details behind that, but that’s
how odor is measured and that’s how they’re doing it on their site. It’s important to know that
they are upholding and providing that data to us.
Mayor Bailey said that’s the only reason and I’m totally in favor of the Odor Ordinance
proposal that you’re talking about because my guess is and I don't know this for a fact, but they
just expanded it, right? So, the way this is all going, my guess is they’ll probably expand again;
Director Schmitz said they’ve already asked, and we told them we have a moratorium.
Attorney Land stated so getting back to just apart from these lines, the purple, are all the
areas where a cannabis manufacturing business can go; so, this is the micros, the mezzos, the
manufacturing, the testing labs, and the medical combo, which is the seed to sale. We are
recommending no sales in the Industrial Park and no onsite consumption; they simply aren’t set
up for retail, and they’re not set up for that kind of an environment with all the truck traffic and
everything else that’s going on. So, we are going to have that in the Performance Standards
that in the I Zone and in the A Zone we’re not going to allow retail or onsite consumption, but
otherwise the manufacturing will be allowed in any of the purple spots.
Mayor Bailey said so the only other question that I have for Kori on this, so down from the
red bubble to the left because there are a couple new housing developments going in down
there, directly next to NorthPoint, so at the moment what you’re saying is 500 feet from?
Attorney Land replied residential, and if you think it should be larger, this would be the time
to talk about it.
Mayor Bailey said I do, and Council Member Olsen said I think I do. Mayor Bailey asked what
Council thought and said I’m thinking 1,000 feet. Council Member Olsen said yeah, that’s what I
was thinking, too. Council Member Garza said and that’s probably not going to stop it, though.
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 11 of 15
Attorney Land stated at least there’s a buffer zone, at least there’s some distance from it.
Council Member Olsen said the residents who decide to ultimately inhabit those homes are
going to appreciate.
Mayor Bailey said and that’s the only reason I’m bringing it up is I’m looking there and they
could use some extra buffer in there, so.
Attorney Land stated and we know those are now zoned residential, so regardless of the fact
that there aren’t homes yet, we can put the yellow levels in there.
Council Member Khambata said I think that the difference between 500 and 1,000 feet isn’t
substantial in terms of the smell, but it’s livable and it’ll work with the number of those types of
facilities. Ultimately, mitigating the overall effect of that type of manufacturing that this has on
the residents. So, I agree with 1,000 feet.
Attorney Land said and then cultivation is allowed in any AG Zone, obviously in the Industrial,
too, because we do allow cultivation in the I Zones, and cultivation is part of the Micro, Mezzo
business. Cultivation can be just obviously like a farm field outdoors or it can be indoors in a
greenhouse or a hoop house type environment, so, those are allowed as well. They’re limited
by State law on the size and the amount of blooming plants at one time; you can have a giant
100-acre field, but you can only have so many going to seed at one time. We are putting
restrictions or putting size before you can even apply for a cultivation CUP, you have to have at
least 20 acres to work with so that we have enough room to have a buffer zone so it’s not
visible from the Right-of-Way; they can put screening up, just trying to put some distance
between residential and the crop itself, which will smell when they go to cultivate it and harvest
it. I learned last week that the hoop houses burp, and so when they burp, there’s an odor that
goes out with it. So, again, we’re just trying to provide as much protection and buffer zone as
we can from even just the cultivation crop itself. There will be no retail, no onsite consumption.
All of the AG ones that are not in a bubble and all of the I Zones, if it’s not in a bubble, would be
fair game for cultivation. So, it’s a lot of land.
Council Member Garza asked are some of those green, the AG ones, are those already
properties that are large enough to start operation?
Attorney Land replied oh, sure, they’re all, I mean, there would have to probably be some
land assemblage to get enough land to do it. There are some owners that own several parcels
and could probably start today if they decided to do that, but otherwise these are all, a lot of
them are just completely separate ownership, but they’re all zoned correctly. So, you get a
developer in there and somebody with a big cannabis business; for example, Leafline could
choose to buy up a bunch of farmland for their outdoor cultivation. They don’t have to all be on
one site.
Council Member Garza said so there’s also the energy gardens. Attorney Land said exactly,
the solar farm is here.
Council Member Khambata said can you give us examples of outdoor cultivation, is there a
preferred method?
Attorney Land replied no, because it’s not, especially in this climate. You can only get a few,
maybe one-or-two crops in a season because of the harsh climate and the time it takes this to
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 12 of 15
grow, and it’s a very fickle crop. So, that’s why Leafline does everything indoors because they
can control the environment.
Mayor Bailey asked if somebody like Leafline comes in, do they have to own the land or can
they lease? Attorney Land replied they can lease. Mayor Bailey said that little box between the
new homes that are going off of 90th and Sandy Hills and they decide to cultivate their crop
there and it has a smell, my question is how do we prevent or do something to keep it where
it’s not in the core of our City, but where it would be on the farther outreaches?
Council Member Thiede said we could say it’s only allowed indoors and not outdoors.
Attorney Land replied we could prohibit all outdoor, but I’m not sure we can where it’s a
licensed use.
Council Member Thiede said well, if they want to go just outside the City limits and buy the
land, they can.
Mayor Bailey said well, I almost said MUSA, but the MUSA I don’t think, it’s right on the line
there so you can’t say MUSA. Attorney Land agreed with that.
Attorney Land noted we did put in a buffer zone, the State law requires a 6-foot fence
around it. We’ve put there must be screening around the fence and we put a 300-foot buffer
between the screening and the road or the property line, just to try to give it some distance
from the crop. But, again, I don't know how you’d prevent odor from going over a buffer.
Mayor Bailey said you don’t.
Council Member Olsen said I’m going to assume that as this becomes more prevalent
starting next year, there’s going to be more and more people who say oh, I’m going to get into
this business, and they want to do it this way. So, it’s challenging to want to be business friendly
but also protect the rights of residential homeowners and things like that because this is
common, it just is. What are you getting from other communities that either you represent, are
they having any problems on this cannabis issue?
Attorney Land replied most are predicting that outdoor cultivation is not going to be super
prevalent, but that’s a hope, right? I mean, if you do have a big giant area where they can go,
you’re hoping it’s not because you have like Old Cottage Grove is going to be surrounded.
Council Member Olsen said that’s what I’m saying.
Attorney Land said so we can try to put some more parameters on it, some restrictions, it
has to be, I mean, a lot of these are residential uses, or we could say from residential zones, we
can put a bubble around those residential zones, and that would help a lot. That would reduce
the space.
Mayor Bailey said my biggest concern is anything that’s going to be, again, just kind of within
that core where people are going to be living. Attorney Land said yeah, that would certainly eat
up those little spots. Mayor Bailey said yeah, I’m most concerned about that. I mean, if you get
out beyond Old Cottage Grove, I mean, that’s where the solar farms are now and that, I’m not
as concerned out there. But even, think about it, I mean, we assume next year that the Tanks
are going to start developing on the one side there, and then what if that lady down the street
there, this whole Goebel thing, starts cultivating marijuana.
Attorney Land asked do you want to see a 1,000-foot buffer zone in residential? Council
Member Thiede said how about a mile?
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 13 of 15
Administrator Levitt asked is there anything that prevents us from doing a 40-acre minimum
on the outdoor? Attorney Land replied no, we can do that, too, increase the size. Administrator
Levitt stated that would push it away from the core of the larger lands. Mayor Bailey stated
that’s really what I’m trying to do; I just want to somehow get it so that it’s not going to be in
the core of our City.
Council Member Olsen said so, theoretically, we can do the buffer and we can increase the
size up to 40 acres. I would suggest both of those. Mayor Bailey said I agree.
Council Member Garza said it seems like our City is going to be a target of this, especially for
the cultivation. Council Member Olsen said we have land. Council Member Garza said we have
land and we’re still close. Mayor Bailey said and that’s what I’m worried about. Council Member
Olsen said it’s a blessing and a curse. Council Member Garza said right, and the other part that I
wanted to say is because of the lottery situation that they have, most of those went to outside
of Minnesota, so we’re going to have outside competition for our land to come and start
growing stuff.
Attorney Land said all right, we can make those changes, and that will be new math for our
GIS guy.
Performance Standards: For all, we’re going to put in just a general generic provision, you can’t
be a nuisance, and so then that ties in all of those fabulous Nuisance Ordinances that we
beefed up in here, noise, smell, junk, or anything. Then we’ll also be adopting an Odor
Ordinance that gives some teeth to it. Security Plan: Depending on what they are and where
they are, but they all are going to need some kind of a Security Plan. I don’t want our Planning
Department trying to figure out what that looks like, so it’s got to be approved by Public Safety.
No Home Occupations: So, nobody can be selling it out of their house. We’re going to say it out
loud in our Code, and State law says it today, but I don’t trust State law. So, I’m going to say no,
that is just not appropriate in residential zones. Parking: Also, for these Micro and the Mezzo
businesses that have multiple kinds of uses mixed in, parking requirements are going to be for
the most-intense use; so, we’re not going to like add on your manufacturing and your this and
that and the other things. It’s going to be whichever one requires the most parking is the
parking that we’re going to require. Signage: We can restrict them to two signs, so we’re going
to do that. We’ll try to be as mindful as we can about everybody; we want free enterprise, we
want people to do business if they can do it, but yet protect our residents, our citizens.
Mayor Bailey asked just looking at this real quick, how much land is left for growth? Attorney
Land asked in the Industrial Park? Mayor Bailey replied yes, on the Leafline site, I’m just curious
if they can come, based on what we’re going to do, you’re going to say it has to be 40 acres;
and that’s why I’m asking, I just want to make sure that they will be able to start, come to us
and all, and say now we’re going to start growing outside.
Director Schmitz said they actually asked that question already; they asked again this
summer if they could just automatically start doing the outdoor grow, and we said no, we’ve
got a moratorium and it’s a different use than what you’re approved for, so no.
City Council Special Meeting

Next Steps:
•Take it to the Planning Commission on October 28. If they’re comfortable with it, we’ll
just keep it moving along.
•Bring the registration process to a workshop in late November, and then sync everything
up in December, depending on how everybody is comfortable with it. If we need both
meetings in December, we’ll do that, but we’ll just take everything up in the end.
•There will be fees that we can impose with the registration process. They are not nearly
as generous as the State gets to collect, but we do get something for registering all
these businesses. State law says we have to register the retail ones; if we’re going to do
the registration process, we have to do retail. I’m going to say fine, let’s do them all, so
we’ll collect the fees on all of them. That way we know they’re there, we’ll know who’s
doing what, where, and when. We’ll do the compliance checks when we can to make
sure everybody’s got a CUP; that’s really the only way we can know who is in town.
Attorney Land asked if there were any questions about the process, but none were asked.
Mayor Bailey asked Attorney Land on a separate note, with this kind of stuff, so we had a
situation that they have where we revoked that license, right? Under all of this new process,
would we still be able to do that if something like that happens? Attorney Land replied we
would revoke their CUP.
Mayor Bailey stated, okay, I just wanted to make sure that that would still be possible.
Attorney Land stated the OCM can control the license, but one of the conditions of a license
is that it complies with local Zoning; so, that is our hook with these businesses to make sure
they’re good. Of course, there are going to be many good businesses, so you can stay, but if
you’re going to be a problem, we need to be able to address it. Our big hammer is revoking
their CUP, because once they no longer comply with Zoning, the OCM can’t license them.
Mayor Bailey stated okay, perfect. And that was my only reason for asking is it does seem to
me that the State’s kind of saying we’ll allow everybody to grow, have fun, and that the cities
are left trying to figure out how to make this work. Again, we’ve got some good business people
in our community with this, and we obviously have the bad ones.
Attorney Land said exactly, and we hope for the best and prepare for the worst; that’s my
motto.
Council Member Garza asked have we had conversations with Woodbury and how they have
been doing it and everything? Attorney Land replied no. Council Member Garza said that I know
they have medical up there, but I know that they probably got something out of that that they
could share with us maybe.
Attorney Land stated I haven’t talked to them. I checked everybody’s Zoning Ordinances
around us to see if anybody’s adopted anything yet, and nobody has; St. Paul did a very, very
minimal Ordinance Amendment, like a 300-foot buffer zone from something, schools, I think.
But otherwise people are kind of waiting, and everybody’s in the same schedule we are, they
City Council Special Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 15 of 15
know they need to do something by the end of the year, so it’s in process, but nothing’s been
formalized yet.
Council Member Olsen said they’re watching, just like everybody else. Attorney Land said
yes, who’s going to go first? Council Member Olsen said we tend to be a trendsetter, so. Mayor
Bailey said we were with the solar. Attorney Land said frankly, the model ordinance the OCM
came out with was really unworkable; I mean, it had a few good nuggets in it, but it was just
kind of a mess of spaghetti for the most part. Council Member Olsen said Woodbury is
represented by Eckberg Lammers, and they tend to be similar, very conservative like this. I
would be surprised if they do anything that’s any more liberal than what we’ve just discussed;
in fact, I could see them tightening it up even more. Mayor Bailey said I agree with you. Council
Member Olsen said it always feels good when your neighbors are kind of on the same page as
us. Mayor Bailey said part of the reason we did that with Woodbury is because we were
concerned that all these places that couldn’t go into Woodbury or the fee was too high in
Woodbury, they’d just wind up here in Cottage Grove. So, we pretty much adopted the same
rules and mirrored most of their ordinance; they’re pretty close.

Officer Grant Agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, which our Public Safety team in Cottage
Grove recently received. I pulled this item this evening so Captain Brad Petersen would have some time to tell us a
little bit about what exactly this grant is going to be used for and how it will benefit the residents of Cottage Grove,
especially in light of the fact that one of the very common things that we hear about from residents is traffic
safety. This is definitely something we will put to good use, and I was hopeful Captain Petersen could tell us some
more.
Captain Petersen thanked Council Member Olsen for giving him this opportunity to highlight this important
moment where we could announce to the public that we now have a fulltime Traffic Safety Officer, which formally
began yesterday. This is 100% grant funded through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic
Safety; this is a fulltime position whose sole duty is to address traffic safety concerns. As Council Member Olsen
stated, we all know that traffic safety is a major concern for residents in our community and we hear about that all
the time. Unfortunately, our patrol officers just don’t have the ability or time to invest as much time as we would
like them to have to address traffic safety concerns, but now we’ll have an officer whose sole job is to address
traffic safety concerns in our community. As Council knows, we approved an ambitious Five Year Strategic Plan in
May, and in the subsequent budget workshops, Council challenged us to seek grant funding to support many of
those strategic goals and initiatives. Since those workshops, we’ve applied for three-to-four grants, one of them
being this Traffic Safety grant, and we’ve got a couple more in the works; so, we’re hopeful we’ll have some more
good news coming in the near future as well.
Captain Petersen stated more about this Traffic Safety position: His sole duties will be enforcing impaired
driving, speeding, distracted driving, seatbelt regulations, things of that nature, so there will be a component of
strict enforcement. However, a lot of his responsibilities and duties will include public education as well, so he
won’t be out there just writing tickets, it’s largely about educating the public as well. He’ll be held to performance
metrics that are terms of the grant itself and also performance metrics that come down from the Towards Zero
Deaths (TZD) program. As you know, for a long time we participated in the TZD grant programs, which funds
additional enforcement hours for DWI enforcement, speed enforcement, seatbelt enforcement, etc. We will
continue to do that as well, so we’re going to take a two-prong approach to traffic safety: We’ll continue to do our
TZD grants, which provides overtime hours for officers to go out and provide that extra enforcement, and then
we’ll also have Officer Lauden Rinzel, whose fulltime job will be traffic safety.

Council Member Olsen thanked Captain Petersen and stated it’s my understand that this is one of those grants
where we can actually apply for it every year, is that right?
Captain Petersen replied that’s correct. Obviously, at this point, there’s no guarantee that it will be renewable,
but provided he does a great job, which I know he will, there’s a high likelihood that we’ll continue to renew that
year after year.
Council Member Olsen said okay, perfect. I also believe that the grant application itself was written by Sergeant
Pat Young and yourself, right? Captain Petersen replied I had a small piece of it, it was largely Sergeant Young who
deserves all the credit. Council Member Olsen said good, this is a really important thing. As we continue to evolve
as a community and we continue to grow, those traffic concerns I think become a little bit more prevalent, and
having somebody who’s fully dedicated to addressing those concerns is a big step in the right direction. So, thank
you, make sure you thank Sergeant Young, and Officer Rinzel as well for being willing to do this because it’s a big
job but it’s an important job.
Captain Petersen replied certainly, thank you. Council Member Olsen and Mayor Bailey both said thank you.

10. BID AWARDS
A. Jamaica Avenue Trunk Storm Sewer Realignment Project - Bid Award
Staff Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 2024-141 awarding the bid for the
Jamaica Avenue Trunk Storm Sewer Realignment Project to New Look
Contracting in the total amount of $298,439.00.
Ryan Burfeind, Public Works Director, stated tonight is our bid award for this project, which has a long name. He
stated I just want to quickly show where this work is happening for the Council’s benefit. This is along the east side
of Jamaica Avenue, just south of 95th Street. Today we have a 54-inch trunk storm sewer pipe that goes into
where the compost site used to be, where Kwik Trip will be going. This was a planned effort; we knew that we
needed to get this down to what we call our stormwater flume, so it’s that long channel that brings all the water
down to the pond on 100th Street and ultimately out to the Mississippi River. So, that’s an effort that we want to
undertake this year for a variety of reasons: 1) It just has to do with the development of that site and getting things
ready, dealing with some different issues of the DNR and such, so now is a prime time to get this done. 2) Just from
a weather standpoint, fall going into winter, you can see how dry it’s been, so that’s the best time to get some of
these stormwater projects done. Because it’s pulling water up Jamaica, it has to continue to flow water why we
actually do this work. So, it’s a little bit of a challenging project, and it’s about 300 feet of storm sewer that we will
be realigning down to the south.
We actually got a very large number of bids, we received 10 bids. It’s always a bit of a challenge this time of
year, and it really all depends on contractor availability; did they have a light workload in the fall where they want
to keep their crews going? If that’s the case, you see really good bids. Contractors who are extremely busy and are
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 5 of 23
hoping maybe there’s not a lot of interest throw really high numbers at it, lots of overtime, just more expense on
their end. You can see as reflected in the bids, our estimate was $400,000, and we came under that at $298,000;
even though it’s quite a bit under, we’re still comfortable because you can see a nice range of those bids: Three
were under the estimate, one was right near the estimate, and the rest were over. Clearly we have some
contractors that have availability and opening to meet what’s a pretty tight schedule to get the work done before
December.
Director Burfeind said with that, the recommendation is on the screen, and I’m happy to answer any questions.
Council Member Thiede asked have we ever used New Look Contracting in the past?
Director Burfeind replied New Look is not someone that we’ve had a direct contract with before; they’ve been
subcontractors on projects, and they are someone that’s been around the metro, so someone that we’re familiar
with, just haven’t had a direct contract for.
Council Member Thiede stated looking at those prices, we’re to assume that they probably had the resources
available; do you think they’re just coming off a big project or something, just timing wise, or what do you think?
Director Burfeind replied I think when you look at the estimate, when we’re estimating a project this time of
year, it can be very challenging. So, I will say there’s some additional contingency that we always build in this time
of year. Their pricing, if it was early spring, and we were bidding this out at a different time, maybe you’d expect
that more, but because we have two other contractors just kind of slowly increasing an amount, it’s not something
concerning. If our estimate was $450,000 and everyone was above that and one was at $300,000, that’s where we
start to get concerned about such a large gap, so much money left on the table. But given kind of the incremental
increase, we’re pretty comfortable with it.
Council Member Thiede asked with this particular type of project, is there that much that’s really very difficult
upon it?
Director Burfeind replied I will say it’s a good question, there is a lot of bedrock, but we had good information
on the bedrock because we just did that large culvert project in 2019 that we’re going to be tying into, so we have
a good feel for where the bedrock is based on our soil borings. There can always be some flexibility, but we have a
good idea on what’s called the hard bedrock they have to kind of jackhammer out and the soft bedrock they can
dig out with their excavator. So, while there can be some range in that, that’s not something that one contractor
could anticipate over another. We have soil borings at certain locations, and they really use that to inform their bid
process. Other than that, there’s not really a lot of changes or inconsistencies in the project, no private utilities to
deal with, no real challenges that we know of; obviously, once you dig into a ground, things can happen, but
nothing that would be challenging.
Council Member Thiede said okay, good, thank you.
Council Member Khambata asked do you see this having a significant impact on traffic flow in that area?
Director Burfeind replied that’s another good question. In general, we’re going to be trying to keep the work off
to the side. The pipe isn’t very deep, it’s about 15 feet deep, but you can kind of see the blue lines where we’re
extending with that time point, generally we’ve got a good kind of 12-foot setback from the curb. So, the goal is to
minimize those traffic impacts, just from safety, there could be needs for one-lane traffic; I will say that south of
95th Street, that’s a little bit less of a challenge and the traffic kind of backs up from the signal during shift change,
but that can kind of flow through. So, at the most, you’d have kind of a one-lane traffic closure.
Council Member Khambata said okay, thank you.
Motion by Council Member Khambata to Adopt Resolution 2024-141 awarding the bid for the Jamaica Avenue
Trunk Storm Sewer Realignment Project to New Look Contracting in the total amount of $298,439.00; second by

11. REGULAR AGENDA - None.
12. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 6 of 23
Council Member Khambata said I looked up and found out that in September we had 20 days over 80 degrees,
which is abnormally warm for September. So, I had the opportunity to take my kids out, and we’ve been trying out
a different park every day in Cottage Grove in September, and I think we made it to about 15 parks on our dad
days. I just have to say a huge shoutout to our Parks and Rec crew for taking such great care of our community and
our parks.
Mayor Bailey stated that’s a good callout. I did happen to bump into or saw Director Zac Dockter, as I had my
grandkids out about a week ago at Glacial Valley Park, and they love the play equipment there, so it was pretty
awesome.
Council Member Olsen stated I’ll definitely echo Council Member Khambata’s comments about the Park and Rec
team, and I would like to include River Oaks as well because I stopped by there over the weekend and it was busy
as all get out on the golf course. So, people are certainly taking advantage of the nice weather; I know we started
early this year and hopefully we’ll be able to play for quite some time yet, but I wouldn’t risk it. So, if you want to
get out there, make sure you make a tee time. The course is in great shape and of course, you can grab some food
and a cocktail or two when you’re done.
Council Member Olsen stated I also wanted to congratulate our Cottage Grove Fire Department for their Fill the
Boot campaign for MDA, which they started last weekend at Cub Foods. I believe they will have a table set up as
well for donations at their upcoming open house; so far, they’ve been able to raise right around $1,700 for
muscular dystrophy. That is a charity that means a lot to me; I was one of those kids when Jerry’s kids were on TV
and my sisters and I would go around and we had our little donation can and we’d knock on doors. I had a
grandmother who passed away at a pretty young age from multiple sclerosis, and MDA supports multiple sclerosis
research, etc. So, this one hits pretty close to home.
Council Member Olsen stated I also wanted to take a moment to formally congratulate our new Communications
Manager, Phil Jents, on joining the team here in Cottage Grove. Phil is not a newbie as it relates to Cottage Grove,
he actually grew up here and went to school here; he decided to fly the coop for a while, but ultimately, just like a
homing pigeon, he found his way back, and we’re pretty happy to have you. So, welcome to the community once
again, Phil, welcome to the team. I’m hearing great things, and I know you’re going to do great work for us.
Council Member Olsen stated last, but certainly not least, a shoutout to the new Executive Director for SWCTC, my
friend, Ann Schweisguth, who I think we all would agree is just flat out awesome at her job. Ann used to be Ann
Simpson, she hasn’t lost anything with the name change, in fact, she’s probably gotten better. The SWCTC team
has been operating with interim directors for several months, and Ann finally decided to take a bite out of that
apple and put her name in the hat and become the Executive Director; so, welcome to your new role, Ann, and
thank you for all you do in support of our community.
Council Member Thiede stated at the end of this month, on October 26 is the Monster Bash parade. Monster Bash
is associated with and managed by the Strawberry Fest Committee. So, if you want to be in the parade, you go to
the Strawberry Fest website and press the Monster Bash button, and it’ll bring up the Monster Bash parade
application if you want to be in that. The parade route is the same as it’s been for the last number of years, as long
as I can remember, going from the SoWashCo Administration building across from McDonald's, and it goes down
to Applebee’s. That will actually start at 10:00 a.m., and I think we’re going to have great weather for it, so I’ve
heard. So, get excited about that.
Council Member Garza stated I will mention some of the events that we have coming up in the month of October:
•I think we touched a bit on the Teddy’s Heart Foundation fundraiser that’s coming up on October 5, that’s
going to be at the Red Barn from 4:00-to-10:00 p.m., and it’s $20 per ticket, that’s going to be an
awesome fundraiser.
•On October 11, Park High School is having their homecoming parade, that starts at 5:15 p.m., so that
should be a lot of fun.
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 7 of 23
•The Fire Department, as mentioned earlier, is having their open house on October 8, from 5:00-to-7:00
p.m. at the Central Fire Station.
•We have another treat with the locally grown theater, they’re hosting a play at the City Hall amphitheater,
and that’s at 5:30 p.m. on October 18; that play will be The Frankenstein Monster, so that should be a lot
of fun.
•Last, but not least, our Monster Bash parade, I’m excited for that; we participated last year with
Strawberry Fest, so I’m hoping to do this again.
Mayor Bailey said I have just a couple things and it’s a good piggyback. This coming Saturday, October 5, there are
a lot of food opportunities in town:
•The first one I want to mention and this is kind of cool because I got an email from the manager of Hy-
Vee, as Hy-Vee as a company was named the #1 Grocer in America by USA Today; in recognition of this
pretty distinguished honor, from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Cottage Grove location, they’re going to
be providing free hot dogs, burgers, chips, and beverages. They’ll also have bouncy houses, yard games,
and a whole bunch of other free things in the community. When I talked to Mike at the store, he literally
said that they’ve got like 10,000 hot dogs and 10,000 burgers they’re giving away and it’s free.
•Later on in the day, and this is the piggyback from Council Member Garza, from 4:00-to-10:00 p.m. at the
Red Barn, $20 a ticket, is the Teddy’s Heart Foundation fundraiser. I encourage everybody to swing in and
support that group.
•On Saturday evening, the Masonic Lodge in Old Cottage Grove is having their annual spaghetti dinner. If
you haven’t had it, it is amazing, and that is from 4:30-to-7:30 p.m.; adult tickets are $13, kids 8-to-12 are
$7, and children younger than that are free.
If you’re interested in any of those opportunities, maybe take a run down to Teddy’s Heart, I know they usually
have different drawings and things there. Then maybe take a run out to the Masonic and have some dinner.
Lastly, what I wanted to do is we’re getting close to the election, in just a little over a month, and I was just talking
to our Parks and Recreation Director Zac Dockter, and in the upcoming weeks before the election, you’re going to
hear a lot about the Preserve.Play.Prosper program that we’re looking at doing for our Parks Department here in
Cottage Grove. Most of you probably got a flyer like this one that you can see on the screen there with a lot of
information. I will just share with you a couple things real quick:
•There is going to be a Facebook Live event, and we’ll be getting additional information out to the public
where you can ask questions of me and Director Dockter and others if there’s something more that you’re
not seeing on the Preserve.Play.Prosper website.
•We’re also doing an open house with some pictures, etc., and that’s going to be at Hamlet Park, which
obviously is one of the benefactors if this were to pass. I just wanted to throw that out there.
•The other thing I was talking to our City Administrator, Jennifer Levitt, about is there are quite a few cities
out there, other than the City of Cottage Grove, that is doing this particular type of proposal, a Local
Option Sales Tax. Woodbury to the north of us is doing one, and in their particular case it’s for Public
Safety for a new buildout of their existing building. Stillwater is doing something for parks. A lot of cities
out there, if they don’t already have it, are in the process of doing it.
One of the things I just wanted to share from a public standpoint is that I’ve been asked is what happens, what if it
doesn’t pass? What if something doesn’t pass? The real answer is eventually we will build these additions, for
example, with the Mississippi Dunes Park, along the backwaters of the Mississippi, eventually we would do it. That
could be up to 25 years from now because we put everything on our Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The other question I get a lot is well, who really shops in Cottage Grove other than Cottage Grove citizens?
Because anybody who’s looking to either support or not support this proposal in the Preserve.Play.Prosper
website, there actually is a study that we had done a couple years from the University of Minnesota; based on data
from a couple years ago, basically the Cottage Grove citizens make up about 68%-or-69% of the purchases within
Cottage Grove, and about 31%-to-32% is actually from people outside of Cottage Grove. So, the reason that I
believe and I’ll speak for myself, but I’ll mention it from a Council standpoint, the reason the Council decided to go
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 8 of 23
this particular direction versus let’s say a referendum question or just starting to pay for it over time is because if
you do the Local Option Sales Tax, it’s not just the residents of Cottage Grove that are paying for this out of their
property taxes. I believe that was part of the reason that we as a Council and our staff talked about how can we
support our play and fun and things that we do in Cottage Grove but not necessarily have all the Cottage Grove
citizens have to pay for the entire thing. So, that is the reason for this, but again, we just want you to vote, one
way or the other, please vote, but please be informed when you go vote. If you have any questions, you can reach
out to me or any of my partners on the Council, Director Dockter is always available. We do respond to any
questions that come through to the website. If there’s anything that we can do to better help you understand this
process and why we’re doing it, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Our next item is a Workship, open to the public, and basically what it’s about is an update on the August 29 Severe
Weather Emergency that we had when that storm came through our community. Council will be moving into the
Training Room to get an update on where everything is at, costs and so on, and then we’ll be adjourning this
meeting from there. So, everyone have a great evening
13. WORKSHOPS - OPEN TO PUBLIC - TRAINING ROOM
A. August 29, 2024 - Severe Weather Emergency Update
Staff Recommendation: Receive an update from staff regarding the State of Emergency issued on
August 29, 2024.
Mayor Bailey said I’m going to call the workshop to order; obviously, this is giving us an update on the severe
storm that went through Cottage Grove on Thursday, August 29. He asked Administrator Levitt to begin.
Administrator Levitt said a lot happened in about a six-hour window on August 29, and we thought it would be
good for you to just hear the recap of what we responded to, the incident, go through our recovery, and then also
talk about some of the additional costs and the implications of that. I have to tell you I could not be more proud of
how the staff responded that night. We had trained and trained, and Gwen has trained us and continues to train
us, and it showed in our response; we were a very well-oiled machine that night. They will have lessons learned in
their slide when they talk through it, but I will tell you they’re being very hard on themselves on the lessons
learned because I would not fault them for any of that because I thought that we really responded in an
outstanding way. They’ve done just an absolutely excellent job. Now I will tell you at one point in the evening,
when Brad and Dan Schoen were sitting in the Conference Room, they were writing every single call that was
coming in with addresses, they were marking them and labeling them, there was a moment when I went, is this
really happening? And then it felt like you know we do tabletop exercises in which we participated, they give you
these little injections of scenarios and situations, and it felt like the inject button was like stuck. And it was like,
Brad, is this really real, as we were going through it. So, I’d have to say the staff did an outstanding job. So, I will
just say with a couple of their lessons learned, they’re very hard on themselves. So, I will turn it over to Captain
Martin.
Captain Martin stated when we talk about lessons learned, we as an Emergency Management team did an after-
action review, went through a whole list of what we did well and what can we do better? An after-action review is
not about pointing out things that went wrong or if circumstances that occurred because as Jennifer said, we did a
lot of things really well, but there’s always room for improvement. So, when we talk about these lessons learned,
it’s not because something went bad, it’s just ways to improve. A little over a month ago, we had a typical
Minnesota weather day. The National Weather Service gave us a 2 out of 5 chance of severe weather. In fact, a
severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the southern part of Washington County, which expired about 5:15
p.m. However, during that time, there was a significant amount of rain, lightning, and wind. The officers who were
involved with the Park High School football game were safety planning; what do we do if this should affect the
attendees? Then, at 5:15 p.m., things calmed down, we’re like okay, warning’s expired, no problem. All of a
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 9 of 23
sudden, about 5:30 p.m., we experienced what we later learned was a downburst, which occurs when winds in the
storm start heading opposite each other. When that happens, you get this downburst and surface winds; so, when
we talk about radar-indicated winds, radar indicates the winds up here or much further, but you get the point. And
they were about 50-to-60 MPH gusts, which was not enough for a severe storm warning. Radar does not indicate
the surface winds, and judging from the amount of damage, the National Weather Service later estimated we
experienced 70-to-80 MPH winds. So, that is why we had the severe weather event outside of the severe weather
warning.
Public Safety personnel quickly became overwhelmed with about 30 Calls for Service. The damage that
occurred, downed powerlines, downed trees, property damage, flooding, electrical hazards; we had several
smaller little fires and then a confirmed fire in a business, which Deputy Chief Arrigoni will talk about during his
slides. Thankfully, no injuries or deaths were reported during this. Public Safety Director Pete Koerner stated thank
you to the photographer for many of these pictures. Mayor Bailey said I went in that house, as there was a worry
that they were going to be home, that was scary.
Captain Martin said so once this happened, the School District delays to start the football game, additional
officers were called into work, Public Works and Parks did an all call for staff to return, as the Public Works
answering service was being inundated by calls as well. Command staff reported to the Police Department, at City
Hall, and decided we needed to set up the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). We received mutual aid from all
of our partners, police, fire, and EMS. I would say we dusted off our All Hazard Plan that you haven’t seen this
shiny new version yet, I’m still working on this 500-page plan, and you will be seeing it at some point. Our initial All
Hazard Plan was drafted in 2004, it has gone through several revisions since then, and this year has been my year
to revise it so you will see the new and improved version. But we still operate under that 2004 version, which has
had some edits. I’m going to turn over the clicker to Captain Brad Petersen.
Captain Petersen said I drew the short straw, I got to be the Incident Commander that night. So, it wasn’t high on
my list of the things that I wanted to do, but it was a great experience. Gwen’s done a pretty good job of describing
the initial Public Safety response, but I’ll go a bit further into the specific police response. One of the things that
benefited us that night was that we had extra staffing working the football game, so this would have been even
more overwhelming for police if we had been operating at our normal staffing levels of 4 or 5 officers; fortunately,
we had about 3 or 4 additional officers to help with our response model.
As Gwen said, they didn’t really fully comprehend the gravity of the situation yet, and they just started going to
those Calls for Service as they started dropping in the queue. Of course, they were prioritizing them somewhat, but
they didn’t quite understand the challenge that was going to be dropped on them once the full magnitude of the
storm was realized. Sergeant Dan Schoen and Sergeant Mike McCormick did a really good job of implementing
Incident Command, and one of the best things they had done was to notify our command staff quickly, rather than
waiting longer to see how this thing was going to play out. This allowed us to then activate the EOC quickly and get
citywide staff on board to start helping; so that would be one of my lessons learned that I’ll address here in a
moment. Implementation of Incident Command, notifying Command staff quickly, and having mutual aid
mobilized quickly from our surrounding communities because there was way too much workload for our handful of
cops to address were key in this situation.
I was at home at the time of the call, I got to the P.D. within a few minutes, and Dan and I were able to have a
face-to-face handoff where we were briefed on the situation, and he handed over Incident Command to me.
Schoen took over the operations side where I could focus on the big picture, and Schoen was handling the
operations side, and we worked side by side. I had activated the EOC through Code Red, set up the seat of the EOC
in the Minnesota Room. At that point, we started to triage calls and prioritize those Calls for Service and our
response. So, that’s kind of a summary of Public Safety actions at a very high level.
My first lesson learned is just trust the process, and by that, I mean we’ve gone through a lot of training and
drills where we talk about and practice implementing Incident Command and about the EOC, and cooperating
across departments, within the City and outside of the City. And it’s one thing to do it in training in a sterile
environment, but when it happens in real life, it’s really overwhelming, it’s an “Oh, crap” moment for sure; and I
found a lot of relief in that you trust in the process and knowing that, follow these steps and within a short amount
of time, more and more resources will pull into the problem and it’ll get easier and easier as those resources come
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024

online and that truly did happen. When I reflect on this incident, it seemed like I pushed the Code Red button and
walked into the Minnesota Room, started some work, and I looked up and it felt like five minutes later I was
surrounded by City staff and they were all working like a well-oiled machine. And that just brought down the stress
level and it all got ten times easier as time went on. So, trust the process even if you feel overwhelmed because it
works.
The amount of communications that we had across the departments in the City was remarkable. I didn’t identify
any particular friction points between the departments, and you know how truly unusual that is when we have a
major incident like this, inevitably there’s going to be some friction points. I just didn’t experience that at all, and I
think that’s because the team trained so well.
I want to touch on mutual aid real quickly. As I said, this problem was way too big for us to handle on our own,
and so it was crucial for us to get mutual aid involved, and they did an awesome job and helped us out immensely.
As a reminder, when other communities have had their incidents, we’d go help them out, too.
The GIS mapping was the coolest thing ever, I didn’t even think about this as a possibility; I was using the old-
fashioned white board and that was working, but then all of a sudden, the GIS mapping came online and it was the
coolest thing ever because now we could see the dots start popping up. Then we could kind of realize where the
damage happened and start to distinguish was it a downed tree or was it a fire or was it flooding or anything like
that. So, it really helped us visualize where the problem was and what the problems were and then immortalize all
those different Calls for Service that were pending.
The last part of Communications is a reminder that this is a critically important function that we notify the
community of what’s going on and we deliver those messages to them that are in their public safety interest; and
we gather the neighborhood or evacuate or shelter in place, things like that. For those of us in a Public Safety role,
we’re putting out fires and responding to crimes in progress and all of that type of stuff, it’s not always the first
thing we think about and we’re not really adept at delivering that message. So, it was extremely helpful and very
well done to have the Communications team on board to handle that. I could look up and tell someone from the
Communications team hey, I need you to tell the community to stay away from this particular neighborhood. I
need to tell them stop moving our barricades, things of that nature, and then finally deliver that message when it is
safe for the community to return. So, they did a remarkable job, and I just appreciated the role they played in this.
Captain Petersen said so, I’ll now hand it over to Fire.
Deputy Fire Chief Nick Arrigoni stated so in the very beginning of this, the very first call that dropped for service for
us was Salons by JC, for a possible structure fire. So, they had black smoke reported coming out of their outlets,
and so that was kind of an all hands, that was an all call for us, that was an all hands on deck type of response. I
was also at home, and I was able to hop in my squad and respond from home directly to that scene. Chief Pritchard
was already there, and I remember as I was getting my CAD computer set up, I was seeing these calls in pending,
and I thought my computer was broken. Genuinely, I did, I was like this is backlogged from like multiple days of
incidents; and I did a face to face with Chief Pritchard and I was like my CAD computer’s not working. He’s like
nope, it is, like this is very real. So, we had at that point 20 calls, probably 20 emergency calls in pending. For us,
obviously, the first priority is life safety, so we had to prioritize what we would have to answer immediately. We
did not get the callback members that we would have hoped for; a lot of them, quite honestly, let us know on the
back plate, I lost power and I was home with my kids, things like that where they had to make that choice and stay
home. We relied heavily on our mutual aid in this as well, like Captain Petersen and Captain Martin said, so life
safety was the first priority, property preservation was our second priority. So, in these calls, what did we need to
respond to right away? Our challenge was at that time both Jon and I were on the scene of a possible structure
fire. So, he actually, as this kind of played out, was able to cut me loose, and then you go into I have to do so many
more things than we’re capable of doing right now, and what does that look like? So, we had to adjust how we
would respond, typically; on any Calls for Service we had that night, we’d love to have an engine there or a ladder
truck or something more than what we could provide on some of these calls. I asked Chief Pritchard, do you want
me to go to the EOC, or do you want me to go back to the station and start answering some of these Calls for
Service? That was one of our lessons learned is that we probably needed representation in the EOC sooner; ideally,
that would be him as the Fire Chief, but a lesson learned for us nonetheless where I could probably step in and I
did. I actually grabbed the multigas monitor and thermal imager, and I started prioritizing the calls that we needed
City Council Meeting

to get to right away, gas leaks that was leaking in houses that we know could turn into a structure fire quickly and
things like the powerlines down and trees on house kind of went more to that like how do we stabilize this incident
and we know we need to answer these higher-priority calls, and that any call could turn into a higher-priority call
at any point. As soon as I started knocking these off the list, we’re going to be able to get ahead of this. Luckily for
us, the Salon by JC it was not a huge incident; it was a little bit time consuming but the damage to the actual
structure was minimal and we were able to cut those crews loose. Chief Pritchard was able to then go to the EOC,
which helped tremendously, just a working collaboration with everybody else up there. We can get that 30,000-
foot view now as more people started to come in; he was actually up here, I was able to kind of remove myself
from the street level, answering physical calls, and manage the crews that we had at the fire station, which was
something that was incredibly helpful. Like the lessons learned, we talked about we were task saturated right off
the bat, and I think that second Deputy Chief that’s going to be starting soon will help that tremendously because
it's hard for us to get out of the mix, right? No matter where you are in the rank structure, it’s hard to pull us away
and say that’s not your job anymore, but this is a perfect example of that. So, we talked about setting up the future
EOC in the larger training room and having that needed equipment and technology be present. He asked if there
were any questions on the Fire side.
Captain Martin stated just from an Emergency Management standpoint, just to add to this, our support person
from Washington County came down and was in our EOC because at that point, we didn’t know how widespread
or how site specific the damage was. It ended up being pretty specific to Cottage Grove, not all of Washington
County, but he came down from a County perspective to help with that. We had talked about initially the EOC was
set up in the Minnesota Room and then as it grew, it grew bigger. The folks who responded were able to kind of
break out into some of the common areas, if you will, other offices, but ultimately having a bigger room in the
future; again, nothing was wrong with the way it was set up, it wasn’t bad, it’s just how could we do a little better?
Because I believe, Jennifer, you said there was a problem with the HVAC system.
Administrator Levitt replied I was hoping one of the pictures will come up and we can talk about that. She
stated here’s the one thing: You know, when you have the EOC, your adrenaline’s already kind of pumping, right?
You’re kind of hot, but it was, man, it feels like it’s getting really hot in here, physically. So, I’m texting Adam
Mosier, like something is wrong, like we’re really hot; and he’s like, oh, my gosh, you are really hot, it is like 80
some degrees and it’s just pumping out heat. So, I mean, we had some serious bonding time happening in the EOC
that night. So, what happened was when the storm came through, somehow our HVAC system thought it was 5
degrees outside and so it converted from cooling to heating, and it just like pumped in the heat into that side. So,
we’re all kind of sweating, I mean, it kind of felt like a sweat lodge in there for a bit. But, just so you know, there
were some other things happening that night and we weathered it well; we were more invested in deodorant in
the EOC offices or something.
I will tell you the other thing that’s kind of funny is as Captain Petersen and I were sending the message out to
activate the EOC, to notify directors, the next thing I received on my phone was is this for real? Like is this a test, or
is this really for real? Because it was hard to know if you weren’t even within 5 miles of Cottage Grove, you didn’t
know what had just happened. So, staff then started to report in from Finance and Administration to be able to
assist.
One of the things that we had to work with IT on was getting a phone system set up so we could route the
actual calls to the office area of Public Safety, so we could start taking calls out of the call center that Public Works
system was inundated with, and so we had all three IT folks in, being able to navigate that. Also, we had to figure
out a workaround with the call service because they were sending us messages with all the calls, but we couldn’t
get access to them; so, IT had to do a little end run around to be able to get us all of the calls that were sitting in
the queue that were placing Work Orders at Public Works.
One thing, too, that we learned in the process is that GIS mapping actually redlined our servers. So, Brian was
already in the process of replacing our servers, but because we’re doing so much manual input onsite and then
people remotely were consistently putting those dots in, our servers actually couldn’t withstand the load that was
coming in, so we had a little bit of a delay on that. But now our servers by the end of the month will actually be
updated, so we shouldn’t have that delay again.

It was helpful obviously to have Brenda there just to make sure as we’re sending our coding and accounting of it,
as Gwen had hammered into us, we need to document, document, document. Brenda was good at making sure we
had our codes out and that we were coding everything, getting that clarity out. It also provided us, when the
mayor showed up to make that Emergency Declaration, he had seen it for himself; he had seen our reports, he saw
our boards and where we were at, and that we were clearly overwhelmed with our own level of response, and so
we were able to make that Emergency Declaration. So it was very helpful for all of you to be able to respond to let
us know at 9:00 a.m. the next morning, going into a holiday weekend, that you were available to make that formal
declaration. At that time, we thought we were going to get a County declaration as well, and so we thought we
would be getting more cost reimbursement for that.
Now, for us, it was also about trying to get the message out more accurately, right? Because we had a lot of
property damage to homes, to cars, and things like that. So, we wanted to make sure our claim form was updated
and really clear, making sure our internal communication with staff if people called us to file those claims, we
weren’t going to argue with them, if it’s a boulevard tree or a private tree, we’re going to figure that out later. Let’s
just get them the claim form and be able to get them moving in the right direction.
I think one of the things, and I think Captain Petersen mentioned it, having more bodies in the actual building to
be able to get a lot of work done; I mean, we didn’t need Joe answering phones, but we put him out in a pickup
truck to be able to patrol, looking for manholes and covers off and the catch basins with floods and if roads were
clear or not. Director Burfeind said he did a good job for us. Administrator Levitt said I got a two-for-one when I
called Tammy because I got the City Clerk, and the beautiful thing is Tammy actually remembers all the Public
Works _____, so she was able to come in and help with that; but then also get the Resolution working with the City
Attorney that night on the Declaration and getting everything queued up and posted for 9:00 a.m. the next
morning. So, by the time we left here at 11:30 p.m., all of those documents and things were already in order.
Brenda helped with some policy stuff, making sure our internal communication was spot on because here’s the
thing: We need to remember we’re an organization of 250 people, we needed to make sure that our internal team
knew when they walked in the door the next morning exactly what to expect and how to operate. So, she made
sure all of our front-desk staff knew what to say when people called, what were the procedures and policies. And
then we also sent additional support down to Public Works because they were definitely going to be inundated
with all those calls when daylight came about.
As I mentioned, it was really important for us to have the IT staff there and the Communication staff because
we were able to put that Emergency Alert banner on the website right away; we kept using those continuous
updates throughout the event of what was happening. It was a great coordination with our Public Safety Facebook
page and our general City one; we were good at creating those messages, making sure that we were getting it out.
We were able to get that press release out that night before we left, and so by 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I made
contact with the mayor; I know you were getting the same calls, they started really early contacting us for press
coverage. So, I think we did an interview with every network, MPR as well, and so we had a lot of coverage of the
event. I know there’s a lot of cameras out in the community, getting pictures of the different damage and the
houses. We were really good about keeping ourselves from the media, they were updated, making sure we were
getting accurate information out to the public. As I said, it’s really important that we continue to focus on any
internal communications so that our employees are giving out the right information to residents all along the way.
One of the big lessons learned is everybody wanted to know what happened; that’s why when we met that
morning at 9:00 a.m., we still couldn’t tell you what happened, the National Weather Service still couldn’t tell us. I
think it was funny one of you guys had talked to the National Weather Service and they were like, you had
damage? Like they didn’t know anything until we sent them literally our spreadsheet of damage and pictures, and
then they were only able to go back and evaluate the event and really tell us what hit us. I think that’s what was
difficult, as we couldn’t explain to people what really happened; was it a tornado, was it straight-line winds, what
was it? And I think that in a way did create some challenges for us to be able to communicate that message. So, I’ll
turn it over to Tammy.
Tammy said so like Jennifer said, honestly, I got the notice about Cottage Grove and I genuinely was like is this for
real, Jennifer? And I called her and it was like she was on her cell and it was going in and out, and I was like gosh,
this is the strangest thing. But, ultimately, after a few moments, that’s when we called Andy, our Chief Building
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 13 of 23
professional in, and right away we were kind of battling a time where it was getting dark, and so we sent him right
out. So, he evaluated 14 homes that night, and they were coming in from residents who were telling us now that
there were trees down on structures, things like that. He was able to take a look at 14 homes that evening, 2 more
later on that week. There was just 1 home that he did condemn, the one that had the tree through it, which was
awful. Come to find out, he worked closely with the folks who live there and with that condemnation, they could
move right back in as soon as they were able to get a contractor to get those things fixed. So, it was a smooth
process there.
Ultimately, Jennifer touched on it as well, our Communications team was great about ensuring that our front-
desk team knew what to say, what information can they provide, what’s happening, and questions related to that
throughout the next week. They were helping them get through comments that they would hear from everyone.
Final lessons learned, and this is me speaking for anybody who asked me about how I felt; it was really under
this crunch time, right? Because it was getting dark, we didn’t know how bad it was initially, until we were
updated. And I’ll turn it over to Ryan from Public Works.
Ryan said during an event like this, Public Works and Parks really meld together into one entity because our guys
are the ones out there getting the roads cleared and such. So, Zac got everything put together for me, and Zac
called his own crew. I had called our on call, so, we have like an on-call supervisor every week that rotates for
callouts; in the winter, it’s plowing, in the summer, it’s usually small stuff, branches in the road. So, I called him at
5:51 p.m., so right after the storm hit. Right after the storm cleared, my wife came home, and I said get in the car,
because it was really bad, and we were going to go quick drive around. I made it, not barely clearing the
neighborhood, and I couldn’t get anywhere. So, I called Noah, I said it’s an all call for all the Public Works and
Parks; it’s amazing how that process works, right? Noah was at the hockey arena with his kid’s team or something,
he had no idea the storm had hit like that because it was fine up on 80th Street, for the most part. So, he went
through the process, he called all the foremen, the foremen called all their crews. Then I called all the other
superintendents and Zac, and by 6:30 p.m., we had everyone out in the field except for a few stragglers who live a
little further away. So, under a half hour. People are not expecting this, right? They’re at their kids’ activities, all
the different things, and they were back, ready to go, with all their crews, all their equipment out, clearing roads.
At the same time, I was talking with Jennifer and talking to Public Safety, seeing what was going on and letting
them know that we have all of our staff coming in. Two of those were the GIS staff, one’s a dedicated GIS
technician and the other one is Gavin, who is our Management Analyst, and he’s a really GIS guru; so Gavin is used
to that because he actually was in the Public Works crew before he was promoted, Eric is not, he’s usually up in
Engineering at City Hall. I called him in Stillwater and asked are you available? He said what do you mean am I
available? I send well, we need GIS folks now to help us with this event, and he dropped what he was doing; he
brought some dinner he was baking in the oven and he was there and really managed that. Actually, after the April
snowstorm last year, we said we need a better way with GIS to map these events. So Eric actually last year had
created an Emergency Response mapping tool, where you can actually go out and with your phone, with your iPad,
whatever it might be, you can drop it in and say tree blocking road, tree partially blocking road, powerlines,
flooding, whatever it might be, it’s right there, it’s ready to go. Or you can enter it manually, so when we were
getting the calls coming in through 911 and Public Works, they can actually enter them in the EOC; so, that really
helped other than the fact that we just buried that system and now we intend to fix that, like Jennifer mentioned.
So, it was nice to see that tool used and then we learned a lot about it as well.
Really, what we also did was the Public Works and Parks, so me and Zac, superintendents, we responded to the
EOC once we got those field operations set. We had to meet down at Public Works to get the guys going, and the
GIS staff responded right to the EOC. I won’t say a night like this wasn’t stressful; one of the most dangerous things
our guys can do is head out when it’s getting dark, and they’re going to be in the dark, and they are cutting trees
that are tangled in cars. We shouldn’t be touching things in powerlines, but it’s so dark out there. There’s just
stress on trees, right? It’s not like dropping a tree in the road and blocking it up; you don’t know when you’re
cutting through these how its going to let loose or really fall. So, a lot of stress for me, and I like that because it’s
just one of the most dangerous things that you get into, but they did an awesome job; we had all the roads cleared
by 11:30 p.m., with no injuries, no accidents, no incidents. And we really want to get the job done well, but that
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 14 of 23
night it was about cutting and pushing. We were just getting roads open, we were not cleaning roads up that night,
that was for the following week.
Some of the lessons learned: We have our 800 megahertz radios in Public Works that we can communicate with
Public Safety, those are very important, and we’re actually in the process of getting new ones. Ours still work, but
we’re getting new ones, upgrading them, because they are about ten years old. We were trying to operate, I think,
on the same channel as the police, but there was too much going on. So, what we’ve determined is the leader, the
foreman or whoever it might be on the crew, they’ve got 800 megahertz, they can hear full, but we’re going to use
our Public Works channel for the field operations for our staff.
It’s been said many times the GIS maps are really critical for mapping and reporting. We actually have made
improvements with our Emergency Response mapping tool, based on all the use we got out of it. I think it’ll be
even better for our use next time around, hopefully far down the road.
Administrator Levitt stated and it was nice, too, because we’d already coordinated with Washington County,
they were bringing ten trucks or more in the next morning, and we could already print maps with the whole route
and stuff like that; they were already printed in color, it was all set up, and so the next morning they were literally
just handing out maps to Washington County drivers when they came. So, mapping was extremely beneficial to
make this a really efficient operation.
Director Burfeind said another lesson learned: We had our foremen out in the field, all four of them were here,
responded, but really they are hopefully experts in what is safe, what is unsafe. They supervise the crews, but
really we learned in that instance we need them right in it with them because they have the most knowledge; like,
we’re not touching that tree, if we try to cut that tree, it’s going to do this, and it’s going to be a huge safety issue.
So, I think when you have someone like Gary or Jim Fohrman they’d be out in the field, they were in the EOC, but
really to lead in the field operations I think would be a big benefit in a future event as well.
Director Burfeind said the other lesson learned was using mutual aid. We don’t always do that in Public Works,
it’s usually done in Public Safety, but Washington County coming in the next day will allow our City help with a
major event; we would have been at this much longer than we would have been without that help.
So, with that, going into just more information on the recovery and the costs, like I said, roads were open and
passable by 11:00 p.m.; that was our main goal that night I think as a group as a whole, but Public Works’ first goal
was to get those roads opened up. The next morning was the State of Emergency, and then we had the debris
management cleanup plan. So, we had the decision that the City pick up all the tree debris, have folks place it
behind the curbline and we’d pick that up first. That night it was tough, we knew this was a big event and how
much time should we give them, so we did go with that month timeframe. I think how we saw people manage
that, there was a lot of stuff in their yards, and I think we could go a little shorter if we did that in the future, just
because they have to clean up their yards; so, I think in the first week or two, people really had that taken care of,
but we just didn’t know that night. We just knew it was a big event and it would take a long time to clean it up.
Residents also dropped off their debris at the compost site, free of charge. We had Public Works mutual aid help
from Washington County, Burnsville, West St. Paul, and Newport; so, 570 regular hours, 126 overtime hours, and
through our mutual aid pact that we are a part of through Public Works, there’s no reason for us to pay for that;
so, we do not pay those cities back for that time, but we are part of that pact, so if they have a wind event, they
have a tornado, they have an emergency, we’re there to help them in the future.
For a cost summary, obviously we had a significant amount of unplanned expenses because of this event. The
public assistance threshold is $600,000; like Jennifer mentioned, I think that night we thought there could be a
declaration from the County, but we really didn’t have that. It was Cottage Grove and over to St. Paul Park that had
damage, it wasn’t that much outside of that. That public assistance, this cost, that’s not for any private debris; that
has to be very strict with FEMA rules, it has to be a tree that has blocked basically a roadway and there’s some
amount of leaning trees to certain-degree angles, they’re very specific.
Captain Martin stated yes, it’s got to be a 30-degree angle over public property for it to be reimbursable for
removing it.
Director Burfeind said and they’re not out there measuring that, it’s all a judgment call, but a lot of the work
that we did obviously would not be FEMA reimbursable, so that’s how that works.
Regular staff time: These are folks who are on regular time, they’re being paid anyway, they’re just doing a
different job than we planned; it’s almost up to 3,000 hours, but just the cost of that is $123,000. Once again,
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 15 of 23
that’s budgeted, that’s regular time for Public Works and Park staff. City Equipment we were calculating using
rates because we didn’t know what this equipment or whatever part of that was for a public emergency issue
would have been reimbursable, up to $203,000. Once again, that’s not an expense of the City; that’s City
equipment that we’re using, but FEMA has the rates that we would have used to apply to that. Obviously, there’s
some fuel costs that plays into that a little bit. So, true expenses that we have to date: Overtime, about 700 hours,
is $46,000. We’re running the compost site, too, and we had residents drop off their debris. We didn’t want them
going back to our pile that’s on City property, we’re coming and going with trucks; so we really just had them go to
the Rumpca Compost Site through the standard process, so that’s something we had to pay, $5,000. There was
some but there wasn’t a lot of that material dropped off by residents. We did rent an additional skid steer because
the #1 thing we can have in these events is skid steers and backhoes; we have three, and that is the bottom line,
right? That’s what we use to pick up all these piles, so we immediately benefited with a fourth one for the month
so we could keep this process moving.
So, if you look at all the expenses, that first column talks about just the regular wages to date. The second
column is all of the unbudgeted, the top three I talked about: Overtime, Compost Site with the residents to drop
off, and Equipment Rental. So, stump grinding, that’ll be a 2025 expense; any stumps that were tipped over, our
staff have ripped those out, and we’re mostly done, we did that with all of the debris pickup. They’re basically out
of the ground and we can kind of do the last little bit with our equipment and pull them out. We don’t have the
stump grinding equipment that can handle the remaining, so there’s about 86 stumps of the trees that we lost that
have to be ground next spring. So, those are just cut flush to the ground right now; that is an expense that we will
have in 2025. Topsoil is related to stump grinding, we have to fill the hole back in; we pay for the material, this is
just the material cost that we’re estimating next year, about $12,000.
The big one is the 162 boulevard trees that we did lose. So, on average with the contractor rates for the
installation of those trees next year, looking at what that cost might be, it’s about $81,000 to plant those trees;
that is above and beyond what we have in our Forestry budget. Our Forestry budget is already fully programmed
because we already have 100 trees programmed to cut down this winter and then 100 to replant next year. So, this
is fully above and beyond. There is nothing that we can cut out of the budget because those 100 trees planned for
this winter have been identified as diseased or safety issues, so, those have to be cut down this winter. We can’t
delay that work to plant these trees, and that’s our challenge right now.
The $203,000 in Equipment I mentioned is not on here. And then we looked at mutual aid, the value of that is
about $33,000 for all the other Public Works departments. Now, it gets to be a big number, but based on all the
work we did, we figure about 25% of it was actually the trees in the roads; our thinking was some probably had to
be cut down but they weren’t leaning over or were part of that private debris pick up. So, it feels like we’re getting
close to that $600,000, but only 25% of that would’ve been really FEMA eligible.
In terms of funding those expenses, right now there’s $300,000 in budget contingency for 2024. Jennifer, is
there anything else you want to add? This is your specialty, but right now, the Fund Balance it looks like there’s
funding to do this, but if there’s anything else you want to add, Brenda or Jennifer.
Director Malinowski said I can talk about it. So, our Fund Balance Policy is remember, we have that Fund Balance
Policy of 45%-to-55% of next year’s expenditures; and then per our new Fund Balance Policy, with funding those
unbudgeted expenditures, we would still fall within that policy. Just a reminder, too, with the 2024 budget, we’re
starting a budget contingency to help us with these types of events or to help us with obtaining our target at the
end of each year per the Fund Balance Policy; we had $200,000 in the 2024 budget. With that, and that was per
the FMP, it was one of the things that we talked about, and we agreed that that was a good thing. So, for 2025, we
do have a budget contingency of $275,000. So, within that FMP, we are increasing that, but for this 2024 storm, we
do have legally either that budget contingency to use or budgeted savings, and we can look at that more and build
that fund.
Director Burfeind said just some discussion items: I think one thing we want to mention, and we have seen this,
this isn’t our first time doing a Citywide pick up. In 2021, we had previous straight-line winds, we did the Citywide
pick up. I don't know for whatever reason this time we definitely saw a little more use of that, which is kind of
unfortunate, because you had people who needed the help and others that were kind of taking advantage of that
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 16 of 23
free pick up. It’s really hard to argue that; our guys out in the field aren’t out there to argue with residents, they’re
not going to try and nitpick, but it does get pretty obvious when you see an entire Ash tree dug up. Now, the one
benefit is we got rid of a lot of Ash trees, whether they were blown down or residents said I’m going to cut it down
right down, and the City can haul it away for me. I mean, there was a benefit to that, I will say, because those Ash
trees are an issue in our community. There’s a lot of that trimming of healthy trees, and you can kind of tell when
you’ve got all these branches with leaves on them and three weeks from the storm and then some on the streets.
So, sometimes contractors are doing that; Gary and I were talking, a lot of contractors, most are doing the right
thing, they had a truck right behind them to pick up all the work that they were doing. But we do know some were
taking advantage of that, so, that’s just something to think about. When we do the free drop off at Rumpca’s, then
you really know, and that’s a little more effort, right? You can’t just put it on your curb, people are using them a
little more appropriately. We even had one where there was a guy dumping loads of tree debris from a dump truck
in peoples’ yards on the Grove side because he knew it was getting picked up. Residents were reporting a dump
truck just dumped an entire load of tree trimmings in my yard. I don't know exactly where we’re at with him, we
were working with Public Safety on that issue; but just some cases of abuse that are kind of unfortunate, because
you had people who actually needed the help and had some real damages from this event.
One thing to think about is our giant piles of debris that we have on City property. I had a number in the budget,
we were trying to estimate based on 2021, as we did pay Rumpca to grind that material that we had collected. At
that time, based on that, we were thinking of a lot lower number. At Rumpca, we’ve been adding to the pile, and
the night he went out and looked at it, his estimate right now is $100,000 to grind that pile that we have, to deal
with it. The other option is we could look at a controlled burn on that pile in the winter; if you’re at the Dog Park,
you can see it. The City owns property on the other side of the water from the Dog Park, behind the compost site.
So, a controlled burn is an option we believe of that pile; but that’s something to think about because we want to
plan that correctly as far as the wind, and we don’t want to have smoke going into the City proper. That pile would
burn for a long time if we do decide to burn it. I think we want some feedback from Council on this; we have a
huge expense if we grind it. I don’t think we have to, there are other options, we wouldn’t have to grind that whole
thing; but we do have to deal with this pile because this is where we plan to expand the stormwater pond
someday, a lot of that material is going to be used for development of future sites but it’s not happening
immediately. We have to make a decision on which way do we go, so we’d like some Council feedback on that.
Council Member Khambata asked is there a way to maybe cut it into smaller piles and use it as like for Fire
training or something? Not that we do a lot of wildland forestry, but if it’s an opportunity to like get more familiar
with the equipment; I mean, is there a way to kind of make the best use of it if we end up having to burn?
Director Burfeind replied that’s something we could visit.
Council Member Khambata said because it would be a pretty big fire to put out; so, I’m just kind of thinking
outside the box because I know that either way you look at it, it’s going to be a challenge to deal with.
Council Member Olsen asked so if you guys were to take on a controlled burn there, have you already partnered
with the Fire Department on kind of how we would manage that? And, obviously, you’re going to need to have
oversight at the pile until its gone, basically. So, there’s a labor expense associated with that; I mean, have you
guys kind of done the math and looked at all that?
Director Burfeind replied I’m pretty sure the pile is still growing, and today, tomorrow, and Friday is our last full
Citywide cleanup. We kind of want to get some of those done, and we’re definitely going to have to partner with
the Fire Department, no question. That’s not something that Public Works and Parks would kind of take on, on our
own, but you’re right, I think we would need probably 24/7, I imagine, oversight of that pile, which is an overtime
expense for that, for sure.
Deputy Fire Chief Arrigoni said our Fire Marshal, Steve Zaccard, would definitely be the one that we can talk to
about that, and he’d know best.
Council Member Olsen said I mean, you’ve got to look at the cost-benefit ratio. Mayor Bailey said that’s a good
point.
Council Member Thiede asked how much of it would be actually wood that people could burn in their firepits or
something like that? If you said somebody could come in and cut what they wanted, take it, how much would it
deplete that pile?
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 17 of 23
Director Burfeind replied I mean, I think it would, it’s just hard because it’s all mixed together, obviously. I was
going to take some pictures of it but it just doesn’t do it justice, the size and scope of it. It’s kind of blended
together, all the branches and the trunks. So, it’s hard, because when we were taking it, we wanted really big
pieces, so a lot of it is 8-or-10-foot chunks of 2-foot diameter trees. I think there’s a liability thing of having all the
residents running chainsaws on the City property. I think it would be a real challenge; you would need equipment
just because it all comes as one, and we’re using loaders to stack it. So, you would certainly need equipment to
remove those larger pieces. There certainly is a lot of good wood in there, I hate to say, but I think there’s a liability
component with that, too.
Council Member Thiede said well, if we’re looking at the costs in terms of the controlled burn and how much
that would ultimately cost, is it possible where there’s even some people that are professional-type people that
come in and maybe even cut it into certain smaller pieces? There are people out there who sell firewood, there’s
all the State Parks and things like that; it’d just be interesting to see, if you could take some pictures of it just to see
what the possibilities would be. And I understand about just saying it’s a free for all and residents coming in with
their chainsaws, but if it’s a little bit more controlled where people could come in, process it, take it because it’s
part of their business.
Director Burfeind said I think we could look at that; that’s one thing that we have not thought of, I could say,
thinking like a contractor that would actually make firewood, and we’d actually have insurance with them and
contractors.
Administrator Levitt said I think it’s hard to know; Ryan, the last time I saw the pile it was probably about 40 feet
high, how high is it? Director Burfeind said yes, its about that and its just gotten longer. Administrator Levitt said
so, it’s like a massive game of Jenga. I think it would be extremely dangerous, and it is all intermixed.
Council Member Thiede said you’ve got a lot of those people who take ropes and hang from trees and cut limbs
off of trees and things like that. But, at any rate, it’d be interesting to see who would actually say, oh, yeah, and if
you made a couple calls and they say, oh, nobody’s going to touch that, then you’ve got your answer.
Mayor Bailey said so, what I think we should do is why don’t you get a; you said who’s going to get kind of a
budget number?
Director Burfeind said you could talk to our Fire Marshal, Steve, on the Fire Department; but if, as I’m thinking
more about this, too, given the size of the pile, it’s likely that an outside company would come in and do a
controlled burn as well.
Council Member Olsen said and there’s going to be a ton of ash, and so you’ve got to mitigate that, too.
Council Member Khambata said I have one more thought. So, right here, a lumber company came in and cleared
for the farmer, would it be worthwhile to maybe put out for an RFP to a lumber company and see what they would
charge us to remove that pile? Because there’s little effort on our part, and it’s one more alternative, but if they’re
willing to go in and basically clear a hillside, then it feels like we’ve already done half the work for them. They just
have to come with their qualified people and equipment and kind of sort through what they want, and maybe just
see if they’ll bid for it.
Council Member Olsen said when Rumpca grinds that, they just turn it into the mulch that they sell over the
summer, right?
Director Burfeind replied so all this grinding actually go to a place called District Energy to get burned, just
because it’s a mix of soft woods and hardwoods. So, when they do their grinding, they’re not specifically pulling
out hardwood, but maybe they would do some of that here, but mostly it goes to a place called District Energy, but
even with that it’s still $100,000.
Administrator Levitt said I should note the $100,000 would bump that $200,000 contingency. If we’re looking at
the tree replacement, you can get the tree replacement at $198,000; so, it’s keeping you under that $200,000
contingency. If you desire to chip it or do anything more with that pile, it’s above and beyond the Council
contingency.
Mayor Bailey said so just as a side note, now the tree replacement, the goal here if you would, would be
$160,000 for the boulevard trees that were lost; did you say on that other slide it was $81,000? Director Burfeind
replied that would be our cost to replace those. Thinking that this is probably going to come forward, I had a
conversation with Rick Hansen, and there are some dollars out there that we may be able to get that would
replace the trees that were lost. So, that would probably take out that $81,000. I’ll talk with Rick to set up a
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 18 of 23
meeting with you guys, and he can guide us which direction to go in order to get those dollars. Because I was
literally even talking about having his fund buy the trees that we put on our boulevards, put aside this issue; but he
just said with those dollars, Minneapolis and St. Paul would want to do the same thing, and he doesn’t want to go
that path. But for a storm replacement option he said he thinks he can get it done. I didn’t know what the number
was until tonight.
Council Member Olsen asked so then if you were able to achieve that goal, that would leave us enough
contingency to deal with the grinding, correct?
Mayor Bailey replied now that Jennifer said that, that’s where I’m trying to think is how do we push it down to
that.
Council Member Olsen said the fire idea is a good idea, and on first glance, you’re like yeah, let’s do that, but
there’s a lot that goes into that.
Council Member Thiede said I still don’t see why we don’t see what a professional can do with it; it’d be
ridiculous not to have that checked out and let people come in and take it rather than having to pay all this money
to do that. Mayor Bailey said I don’t disagree, I mean, it’s an option. Council Member Thiede said well, it sounds
like everybody’s disagreeing.
Council Member Olsen said no, no, no. I mean, when Tony brought it up, the first thing Ryan said was like hey,
we didn’t think about that.
Director Burfeind said I think we definitely have to look at that. Gavin was our Forester, and he’s now our
Management Analyst, I mean that’s his area, right? So, I think he has to look at all the options.
Mayor Bailey said yes, and if we could save the money. I guess the one thing you said, Dave, I just would be
from a liability standpoint, having our citizens go in there. Council Member Thiede said yes, and I agreed with that.
Mayor Bailey said but if we had somebody professionally do it and they wanted it.
Director Burfeind said they’d be licensed and insured, and it’s really what they’re looking for, I’d say we’re
probably fine, but they’ll have to judge the pile. And I think with those big trees, there’s some 40-inch diameter
trees. Council Member Thiede said if you get a couple of those people to come in and take a look at it, and they’ll
tell you right away I’m not going to touch that with a chainsaw. Director Burfeind said I think that’d be a project for
Gavin, I think he could get people in there pretty quick to take a look at it, and I think by Friday we’ll be done
working in there and we can get a good handle on this and stuff.
Council Member Garza said and maybe there’s an opportunity for a mixture, right? Maybe we can get some
people to come in and take what they want.
Council Member Thiede said well, there might still be some stuff left if you get the majority of it out of there.
Council Member Garza said that’d be good. Council Member Olsen said use it for bonfires and stuff, right?
Council Member Khambata said that’s what I was thinking, if we have to babysit that fire, how long is that thing
going to burn? Council Member Thiede said I’ll bring marshmallows.
Director Burfeind said so, I think we definitely will look into that right away, and based on the State funding, one
of our questions for the Council, just to help out on the thoughts was mandatory vs. volunteer boulevard tree
replacement. But if the Council direction and if we can get funding to replace all 162, then we can do that.
Mayor Bailey said if we can; otherwise, we need to, we can look at it.
Council Member Khambata said I think, like for my 20%, if we have to choose between responsible cleanup of
the damage and planting a bunch of new trees, I think the new trees get pushed down on the budget a year if we
can’t get some other resources to help cover the cost of that. I think you have to prioritize planting new trees vs.
mitigating the damage from the storm, I think mitigating the damage from the store is our first priority.
Director Burfeind said the last one is the Tree Removal Policy, the Cleanup Policy, like I said, we hope we won’t
have a storm like this for a long time, but seeing we definitely had some abuse and dealing with this pile, we’re
kind of fortunate we have this land that’s not a pond yet. Working with our standards that we have to meet, it will
be a pond someday, so we won’t always have this more convenient, out-of-the-way location. I mean, is that
something that we still want to consider? And it’s a storm-by-storm basis, I guess, every storm is different; would
you want changes to it? You do have the policy in front of you, any changes you’d like us to make, you know,
basically where it allows us this longer period of time. So, we look at if we do this, it would be a shorter period of
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 19 of 23
time; I think we saw more of the abuse, later abuse, for example add to the actual pick up on the curbs vs. just
opening up the compost site for free.
Council Member Thiede said I wonder if you did something like this but people would have to register to have a
pick up. So, if there was somebody that was way away from where the storm avenues, some of these piles, I’ve
even seen things in Hidden Valley, which I don’t think, you know I didn’t have any real big issues. If they had to
actually call in to order it, then they might have a hesitation about having this pile or I’m cleaning up this tree that I
want them to clean up, and I’ll dump it on here for the City to pick up. They might be a little bit more hesitant to
do that, maybe, unless they had a significant issue. Or you could bound the area; we had in there where the
primary area was because of the GIS and things like that, maybe you bound that area where people can put stuff
out. Again, that may not stop the dump truck from unloading a pile or something like that, but I would hope that
with Public Safety, that somebody has an idea on that truck or license plate that you could get them for.
Director Koerner said well, he left an invoice on the pile that this resident saw.
Council Member Olsen asked Gary Orloff, since you live over there, and I know that a lot of the homes right around
your neighborhood were affected, was it your observation that people were kind of like Johnny on the spot, they
got right out there? Because I was driving around after a few days, when it was safer to do that, and that’s what I
saw. I saw people out in their yards right away, even though it was a holiday weekend, they were working on it or
whatever, and it felt to me like the people who had been most affected responded rather rapidly. So, if you talk
about shortening the window, I think it might make some sense. What do you think?
Gary replied I do, as Ryan said. After that 2 weeks, it was pretty much the back yard trees that were down, and
the contractors were coming in. So, people wanted to be able to mow their yard, so they’re not going to leave
them sit there for a month, and you could tell by the trees that were coming out were freshly cut. So, I do agree
with this size storm, 2 weeks would be more than enough.
Council Member Olsen said so, the feedback we got, or at least I got, and I think I can speak for the staff for the
most part here, too, was extremely positive about the way the City handled this. If there was ever a situation that
provided evidence that this team knows what the hell they’re doing and is all about taking care of residents, this
was it. It was flawless. I mean, you put up some of your learnings or whatever, those were pretty minor things, not
that I want to discount those, but I mean, you guys deserve huge credit, and I think you got it for the most part, I
really do. I think the whole team was damned impressive and the residents see that. So, to take away that point
about maybe we pick up a day at the end of the road, I think those are things where people are like, man, I love
living in Cottage Grove; the City government really responds, but shortening it certainly is, that makes sense to me,
but I don’t think you want to completely go away from it, that’s my two cents.
Council Member Garza said so I live in that area as well that got hit really bad. So, right now, today, we still have
piles on our corners or on the corners of our homes, but I’ve been watching these piles; and what’s happening like
one tree fell on a house right behind my home, they just got contractors in there just this last week. When they
were in there, they were removing the trees that were still falling over the roof because they had to replace the
roof. So, those trees came up to the front now; so, right on Hefner, Hillside, and another street that starts with an
H, all of those homes are, those people are actually just now getting their contractors to replace those roofs. So, I
mean, we had a lot of damage in my neighborhood, we were the ones closed down, with a lot of trees on the roofs
and stuff. But their contractors are just now contracting, and they are the ones that came and did some of that
stuff; so, if you shorten that window, I just wonder is that where they would maybe call the City and say, hey, our
contractors just came, and they’re the ones that put some more trees out there because they couldn’t do our roof
without this. So, I don't know.
Council Member Olsen said but that would be something their insurance company would take care of.
Captain Martin said and that’s what I wanted to touch base on; when we talk about the City’s responsibility for
critical infrastructure, we are out there clearing the roads, we have to cut down the trees that have fallen on the
roofs that are in a 30-degree angle over the roofs, and we are responsible for those costs. And what FEMA tells
people is that your responsible for the trees on your property, and you hopefully have homeowners insurance that
will cover that expense for you. So, what happens with cities that experience these types of events is you have the
policymakers who have to make a decision, knowing that FEMA will not reimburse us for, as the previous slide
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 20 of 23
said, approximately 25% of those costs. Had we had a Public Assistance Process, we could have submitted for it.
Knowing that FEMA won’t reimburse us for all the debris management, as a policy group, do you still want to say
that’s okay, we’ll shoulder the cost for you? And that’s going to have some budget implications. Or, do you say
look, folks, there’s a certain amount of personal responsibility here, you need to be responsible for your own trees,
and you need to work with your neighbors and homeowners insurance to cover those? So, that’s why in the
existing policy it does say that privately-owned trees are the responsibility of the homeowner, not the
responsibility of the City. Now if you were to have widespread damage that caused the homes to be obliterated, so
when we talk about debris that affects the public health and safety, that debris is left to rot; that’s something’s
that’s going to be jeopardizing public safety. So, this isn’t saying that every single storm the City’s going to act on,
you’re responsible for your own stuff; it’s evaluated on a case-by-case basis, is it jeopardizing public safety as a
whole instead of benefiting individuals. Those are just some of the things that we look at when it comes to
reimbursement.
Council Member Garza said so, with what you just said, did we just do a nice? Council Member Khambata said
yeah, we did a really nice thing. Council Member Garza asked we just did a nice thing, then? Council Member
Khambata agreed. Mayor Bailey said yeah, we never said we were going to do it all, whatever they had in their
yards. Council Member Olsen said we have done it in the past. Director Burfeind said we did this in 2021. Council
Member Garza said okay, that’s what I was wondering about.
Director Burfeind said we have done it when it’s a large, Citywide event; so, in 2021, it didn’t impact certain
areas, but it was a big event, it was in September, like the day before the Public Works open house, terrible timing,
but that was a Citywide impact and we did a similar thing, and that’s kind of been the trigger in the past years. We
didn’t do an Emergency Declaration in 2021, but it was almost to this scale, and that’s kind of maybe what tripped
them into doing the pick ups.
Council Member Khambata says I have three takeaways from this regarding like how long we should pick up:
The GIS system was awesome for you guys to map where the stuff was down. Our Public Works crew that was
clearing the roads, those trees were mapped with GIS and then they went back out and they cleaned that up. So,
those trees, if they were boulevard trees, Public Works already cleaned up those trees when they cleared them in
our subsequent days. Anybody who is paying a contractor to trim trees in their yard, the contractor’s price should
include disposal and removal of those trees; so, I think the people who probably benefit the most from this policy
are the contractors, who are charging full price but not removing those trees. I think between the GIS and Public
Works taking their trees when they’re doing their specific work orders, and well-meaning contractors who are
removing trees that they take down, I think 90% of the material is being removed anyway. Two weeks I think is
pretty generous, and I think yet for the instances where somebody’s like hey, I can’t get to this, you know, they can
call Public Works and ask them to come and do a specific pick up. I think the number of people who are going to
call Public Works and go that extra step vs. like hey, if I put it on the curb, somebody’s going to take it away; if it’s
like I have to go and ask for permission to have Public Works take it and have a justifiable reason, I think that
would eliminate a lot of the abuse. I think between Public Works, GIS mapping, and tree contractors removing
their own material, I don’t see a reason to give people the opportunity to abuse it.
Council Member Garza said that’s ensuring they didn’t take advantage of it and I think the people around there;
Council Member Khambata said and a roofing contractor, like you said, if it’s in the way, like that should be part of
the roofing bid. That has nothing to do with it.
Council Member Olsen said one thing is you should be talking to the insurance company.
Mayor Bailey said what was happening, well, not everywhere, but was some of these contractors are going to
these homeowners and taking down the trees or taking them off the house and putting them on the boulevard,
and still charging the homeowner, but less, though. Administrator Levitt said yes, they were charging them less.
Mayor Bailey said they were charging them less because they said the City was going to remove it. I thought
somebody, Gary, did you guys talk to them?
Gary replied I called a few of them up and said to quit doing that. Gary said there was one who said he never
would have came in there, and so he did charge less to get in that quick. Ryan and I were chasing the crane guys
around, and he even said we’re part of the deal, we’ve got people coming to pick this up yet today. So, when you
were talking about those other ones getting removed, that is part of their deal; they’re getting paid, homeowners
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 21 of 23
insurance paid for that already. It was the private guys like came over on the Grove side and went in the back
yards, and they, I mean, literally some of those piles would take us four hours; they took every tree down possible.
Council Member Garza said well, that’s what my point is, though. So I see these trees that fell in the back yards,
huge trees, they had the contractors come out, they cut the tree down, and they put it on the curb. And they
received a discount for not having the contractor remove the trees, and they put it on us, pretty much, to remove
them and I’ve seen a lot of that.
Council Member Olsen asked Gary would you say a 2-week timeframe is probably adequate?
Gary replied I would. Most of it, what we’ve seen all the way back to 1993 are the ones that I dealt with, that
was a big one, and we did burn that pile; I was on the Fire Department and we did burn that one. But we should be
out helping these ones that can’t afford to call a contractor, they’re using their own saws and mucking it up and
bringing it out.
Council Member Olsen said that’s what I saw when I was out in your neighborhood.
Gary said but this storm, out of all the storms and I’ve been through quite a few, I’ve never seen contractors pile
it up; even in 1993, the contractors hauled it away. This one literally and I was calling, I said I don’t want our
residents being taken advantage of; if you charged them, you come back and get it, and some of them did come
back and get it. Some were honest and said no, we came in, knowing we would only be here for X amount of time,
get it on the loader and leave. But we should be helping the people that can’t afford a contractor, because that
contractor’s charging them no matter what they’re telling you. Even the one guy offered me and Ryan to just
leave, he hurried up and grabbed the pile, and he goes, I’ll give you the $400, that’s what I’m paying the guy to
come grab it, behind you. Director Burfeind said yeah, we were yelling at one, and he’s like I’ve got the truck
coming this afternoon and he’s obviously been fine. Gary said all the guys you’re seeing with the big trees in the
back yards that used the cranes, they had people already hired out. They were coming from Iowa, out of state,
they already have the people that take it away. Contractors did take advantage of not hauling it away, which is one
of the biggest expenses of it vs. taking down a tree.
Mayor Bailey said I know Wright was in there for Xcel; did they take all theirs, though?
Director Burfeind said so that would be a lesson learned, and it was my last one to touch on for tree removal.
They did, but they were piling it, and they were coming back 2-to-3 days later. They said that no, we will, but I said,
well, how are we going to know? We’re just going down that road, we’ve got a skid loader going, Washington
County doesn’t even know our town, like we’re picking it up. So, I think in the future, if we’re doing this, we’ve got
to work with Xcel right away; I don't know if we’re going to get addresses, how we would do it, but our crews
would have no idea that that’s a Wright Tree Service pile vs. one of ours.
Mayor Bailey said that’s what I’m saying; so, I guess we as a Council would have the choice to say put everything
down or not, right? I think the 2 weeks after is fine because I do believe what’s happening right now, even where I
live, there’s people putting stuff down and I’m like I had nothing happen in my neighborhood, so. I don’t know, but
to your point, though, on the other hand, I know Dave had mentioned that you could say, okay, if it’s right in this
area and we’re only going to do that area; however, I do know off of Ideal, down from the football stadium, there
was a massive tree over Ideal. I do think that the lesson learned in this particular case would be we say we’re going
to cover all the boulevard trees, anything, obviously, that’s owned if you will by the City; and then maybe we say
that we’ll cover the cost of them bringing it on their own down to Rumpca’s, but they have to do it or the
contractors deal with their stuff. I agree with you, I think you’re going to have to figure that out with Xcel, however
they manage that for the future, especially when we’re trying to go back through and clean things up.
Director Burfeind said the timeframe is also critical just for resources, too. I mean, the phone calls that we
continue to get throughout, and just the work orders that keep getting generated that pull people from some of
the other things we need to do, is incredible because it’s a one-month period.
Council Member Olsen said what I was going to say is if there was ever an argument for the way that we manage
the budget and the way that we support the various departments and how that then translates into the service
level that the residents of Cottage Grove have come to expect, this is it; I mean seamless, everybody jumped on it,
great feedback from the residents with the rapid response, the road response. I know that I was texting Pete
addresses from people calling me, and I know the mayor was getting calls. People see something like this and what
City Council Meeting
October 2, 2024
Page 22 of 23
they say is what a blessing it is to live in this community. I mean, how grateful am I that we have such dedicated
staff. There’s a huge amount of capital in that when it comes to the PR piece and those sorts of things that
sometimes frankly the City doesn’t get. But this was front and center, like, hey, this is what you pay your taxes for,
look at this, this was awesome, and we still deliver it at the second lowest per capita tax rate in Washington
County. I mean you guys just deserve so much credit. And if it makes it easier to cut it down to 2 weeks and it still
provides that same level of confidence and service that the residents have come to expect, but it also provides a
little bit more of a reality check relative to what you guys are doing, I would fully support that. But I do not support
not doing it at all.
Mayor Bailey said so just a couple of quick questions on some of the takeaways that you guys had: I know I think
Nick you had made a comment that one of the takeaways was instead of being over there, I’m assuming being in
here, would that be the case? My question, though, from being up there and observing and watching, it seems like
there was different, you guys had it broken out perfectly; you had a group over on the police side doing their stuff,
the main room, social media was over in another area, Brenda was doing numbers on the other side and I can’t
remember, there was something else. This is just me thinking out loud: Does it make sense to not necessarily have
everybody in one big room?
Captain Martin replied having a big room with groups of people is one way to do it. We have the St. Croix Room
as a breakout room, we’ve got conference rooms throughout here, so absolutely you would still make use of these
certain rooms. When you’re talking about an EOC activation and what all goes on with your Incident Command,
your PIO, your Operations, your Logistics, your Planning; having people in a room so your planning person can go
to your logistics person and say hey, I need this, rather than having to run to the next room is sometimes very
helpful. So, having a bigger space, having room to expand more, and that’s what this room was designed for; its
got the outlets in there and you set up these squares of tables. So, for the 2023 winter storm, we set up at Public
Works, and that was fine. So, in the next storm, we may set up here and have 3 people here and think, oh, we
should have set it up another place.
Director Koerner said as the event continued, though, longer, we didn’t have everything by 11:30; normal daily
operations would have to start in the morning, so we’re like why is this Communications team sitting here? So, we
just started here and then we would have had to move them over to the other side.
Mayor Bailey stated the only reason I asked about it is because I could see Jennifer walk out to talk to social
media; hey, this is what you need over here is an example. Brenda, how much did we spend, I remember some of
the things we were talking about, how much did we spend on that last storm? What are we talking about when we
declare an emergency, what do we have to meet?
He said the other question I had for that evening, so you guys were using the white board at first, and then it
went over to GIS; was that always intended to be that way, was it always going to start with the white board and
then go to GIS, or did somebody say hey, you know what, we got GIS, let’s use it. Do you know?
Captain Martin said I think it’s both. I think when you start, it’s the handheld stuff, the incident objectives are
often scrawled on a cocktail napkin because you’re catching somebody identifying, and you always start with the
basic stuff, and then you expand with some of the technology. So, you will see that again. As we set up the next
EOC, it will happen, hopefully not for a while, but it will happen; hopefully I won’t be out in Montana, agate
hunting. But it will start with the old-fashioned pen and paper, and as people come in with the expertise, I can’t
run the GIS application, but I don’t need to run the GIS application; I need to know the guy or gal who can do it and
bring them in and things will progress.
Mayor Bailey said I was amazed by how quickly everything happened and the great work all you guys did.
Council Member Olsen said everybody across the board, and man, was it awesome. Gary said it was the smoothest
operation through a storm I ever worked here; it helped me out tremendously, at Public Works, because we’re
usually on our own through a storm like this, and I couldn’t believe how quick it happened and how quick we had
the roads open. Like Ryan said, no one got hurt, the roads were open, and it was because of everybody.
Council Member Olsen said and like Brad said, the training takes over, right? You train for it and it works.
Gary said, and like I said, the residents were bringing us Chick-fil-A sandwiches, and the people loved the quick
response and the service. Even other communities were calling me, saying God, I wish I lived in Cottage Grove, and
people were hearing about it all over. Council Member Olsen said let them know we’re building.

Director Koerner said yes, I took some eggrolls; they came out and gave the workers like 100 of them, the
neighbors were so happy. Mayor Bailey said that’s very cool.
Mayor Bailey asked is there anything else that staff needs on any of this, but there was not.

3. AGENDA
A. Metro Transit Network Now - Draft Plan
Staff Recommendation: Receive the presentation from Metro Transit.
Mayor Bailey stated we’re joined this evening by representatives from Metro Transit who will be speaking on what
is now called Metro Transit Now. I was at TAB (Transportation Advisory Board) today, and there were a couple
people from the Metropolitan Council sitting in, and they asked me what do you think about that? I said I’m going
to hear more about it tonight because they’re going to be at my meeting. He introduced Cyndi Harper and Scott
Thompson with Metro Transit and thanked both of them for coming tonight to share some concept ideas from
Metro Transit that will incorporate Cottage Grove.
Cyndi stated I’m the Manager of Route Planning for Metro Transit, and Scott Thompson is a Senior Planner for the
Highway 61 corridor, including Cottage Grove. I’ll start off with an overview of what the process is in general, a
little background information, and then Scott’s going to give information on probably what you are more
interested in, which would be what’s actually happening in Cottage Grove.
Mayor Bailey said I’m sorry to interrupt, but I should have had the City Council Members and City staff introduce
themselves to you so you know who they are, and that was done.
Cyndi asked so what is Network Now and why are we doing it? There are truly four reasons that Metro Transit
has embarked on this project: 1) The last four-or-five years have been a very pivotal time in our history with COVID
and unprecedented workforce shortages. We’ve seen a lot of our ridership decline, about 50% between 2019 and
2020; we are slowing rebounding, but this has also been tied to about a 30% decrease in the number of service
hours that we operate per day. Also, this has resulted in us having just about 60 bus routes around the region that
have been suspended; most of them are commuter and express routes, most were suspended in March 2020,
when COVID first hit. So, we know that we have had that out there. 2) We have also seen, really in the last 4.5
years, that traffic patterns have changed coming out of COVID. We are definitely seeing in our commuter express
market the impact of increased telecommuting, at least some days of the week, and the Metro Transit routes that
have been mostly affected in terms of ridership, those routes that run all day that serve a variety of trip purposes.
3) Workforce has also been very important. We have had struggles with having enough operators, and I think we
finally turned the corner on that with changes with our union contract, the wages, a few of the things in the
economy and the marketplace that have changed; so, like many companies, back in 2021 and 2022, we were trying
to hire as quickly as we could, but it was still causing us to miss a significant amount of scheduled services. So we
ended up having to right size our service to match our workforce level. 4) Finally, we are growing; that’s the other
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 2 of 9
reason we’re doing this project. There’s a regional sales tax that took effect last fall that covered transit. Also, we
have currently four different major capital projects that are under construction, three of them are Bus Rapid
Transit lines and then one is a light-rail line extension. Generally, we’ve not had more than one major capital
project at a time; so, to have four, three of which open next year, is a pretty significant change for us.
So, the short-term projects are really meant to last just between now and 2027, and it’s a vision or a framework,
a plan that has really two angles: First of all, we need to resolve the status of these bus routes that are suspended.
Also, many of those commuter express routes are supported by facilities, such as Park and Rides; so, we also need
to figure out are we going to close those Park and Rides and dispose of the land, or what is it we’re going to do in
terms of facilities as well as some bus stops around the region that we don’t have space as transit climbs up. Right
now, we just kind of stick around but if there is no bus service, we need to resolve that as well.
To get to the more fun part of this, is our opportunity to improve service with the new routes as well as
redesigning the existing bus routes. Opportunities to improve frequency of service and stay on the service on the
existing routes, how often the bus runs or the train runs, as well as how early in the morning, how late in the
evening the service operates. Also, preparing for new metro transitways, so that would be light rail and Bus Rapid
Transit. Then also opportunity for us to expand a new type of service for us, called Metro Wide Roads micro
transit. So, as I mentioned, this is meant to be short-term plan revisions for 2027; it allows us to expand service
regionally, we’re going to have about a 35% increase of in-service hours by the end of 2027, which is a significant
increase in service, including coverage and mobility, both by expanding fixed route bus service and also metro
micro service. It’s also an opportunity for us to redesign our express commuter services in order to meet the travel
patterns that we’re seeing post-pandemic.
The foundation for this work, summarized in a report that was released last fall, Establishing the Foundation, is
really three pillars to this network reset: Performance, Policy, and Engagement. We started this project in early
2023, with significant public engagement, including over 6,000 comments in regard to surveys, community
workshops, and other online engagement. I want to also point out the chart here, on the right, is a chart from our
report, a sample of one of the significant changes that we have observed since the pandemic; the XX that’s across
the bottom is hours, time of day, so this represents one 24-hour period, an average weekday, and then the YX is
hourly boarding. The light-gray line is before the pandemic, what we were seeing in terms of ridership by hour. So,
as you can see, there are two peak periods, corresponding roughly to 6-to-9 a.m. and 3-to-6 p.m., otherwise
known as the a.m. and p.m. rush hours. The black line is what we’re seeing today. So, a couple of takeaways: Our
ridership overall is still about 60% of what it was pre-COVID, so ridership overall is down, but particularly in the
a.m. rush hour, where now we’re seeing much more of a gradual, kind of all-day build up to our busiest time of
day, still in the evening. That difference between the peaks and the off peaks is much less than it was prior to the
pandemic.
So, all of the data that’s in that report, the trends that we’ve pointed out and the feedback that we received
from the public resulted in these five guiding principles that we used to draft our Concept Plan; they include: 1)
Adapting service to changes in market; 2) Preparing for new metro lines; 3) Maintaining reliability of our scheduled
service; 4) Building on success to grow ridership; 5) Providing access for opportunities to focus on advancing
equity.
A couple of slides at the regional level here, hopefully these items in bold look somewhat familiar because these
are our guiding principles. So, this Concept Plan is a good opportunity to grow ridership, including 65 existing
routes where we have either frequency and/or span improvement, so that’s all the blue lines you see on the map;
including 15 routes where we’re going to have service that runs every 15 minutes or better, we call those our high-
frequency routes. Also restoring service on the blue and green lines, our light-rail lines, back to every 10 minutes.
Also opportunity for additional service coverage; we have 8 new micro-transit domes, that’s what these green
circles kind of all around the perimeter here represent. Micro is an on-demand service, it uses a much smaller bus,
it’s not a fixed route, it just operates within a small doughnut of point-to-point service, and you use an app on your
phone in order to request a bus arrive and come and get you. We have one of those domes right now in North
Minneapolis, and we’re looking to add 8 more over the course of the next 3-to-3.5 years. The idea is the first last
mile connection in areas where a traditional fixed route has challenges because there’s maybe not enough
population and point of density to support that. This will bring those two transit centers and transitway stations to
connect in with the rest of the network.
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 3 of 9
Also, more than 20 routes, either covering the new areas in our new routes or existing routes where we’re doing
extensions or changes, so that’s all these orange lines on the map. And all of this results in a 25% increase in the
number of jobs that are accessible riding transit within 45 minutes for the average resident in the region.
Also an opportunity for us to adapt service to meet these travel patterns; so, as mentioned in that chart with
the curves on it, a couple slides ago, one of the primary differences that we’ve seen for 2019 is less a.m. rush hour
activity, lower express ridership demand overall, and a significant decline in Park and Ride use. Prior to the
pandemic, we had just over 18,000 cars a day that would park in a Park and Ride in the metro region somewhere,
now we’re down to about 4,300 cars a day. That just shows you really how the bottom has dropped out of that
traditional 9-to-5 office worker in the downtown Minneapolis, downtown St. Paul markets.
As a result, we’re using Network Now as an opportunity to shift our strategy in how we serve the commuter
express market; it’s something we are calling the Key Express Network, those are the purple lines that are on the
map here. You can see there are 7 rows of routes that go into that network, that means that we will be essentially
consolidating service in order to free up resources to reinvest elsewhere. So, the idea is that in each of the major
corridors serving downtown Minneapolis, primarily, and to some degree also downtown St. Paul, there would be
one Park and Ride and one express route that has service at least every 15 minutes during the rush hours, as well
as having midday service. So, the idea is that there is still a collection point in each of these major corridors. Some
folks maybe have to drive a little further to get to that collection point, but if you do, then the idea is that there’s
service that is very usable for a commuter express market, but certainly not to the degree that we had had prior to
the pandemic. This, paired along with our metro network, so that’s all the other colored lines you see on here, the
green line extension, the orange line, the blue line, so on and so forth, it really kind of comes together to provide a
network for all day, high frequency, limited-stop service, anchored at Park and Rides.
I’d also like to point out the ridership line on the map here are other community express routes; these are also
operating today and will continue to do so, but are not part of this Key Express Network in terms of having service
every 15 minutes. Trips in the midday have much more limited service, and Scott will talk a little bit more about
that with the Highway 61 corridor.
So, this is the map that shows the overall change to commuter-oriented services: The blue routes are either Key
Express Network routes or our normal metro transit lines and light-rail lines. The red lines are all the different lines
that are proposed to be continued use under the Concept Plan here; there are a lot of red lines on the map, but
you’ll notice many of them are pretty thin. The lines on this map correspond to the amount of service; so, what
this really says is there are a lot of routes that we are proposing, and they are all currently suspended, none of
these are operating today but we’re now proposing to restore. There are a lot of those routes, but many of them
only had a handful of trips for each of those routes.
Finally, the last slide before I turn it over to Scott to talk about the details for Cottage Grove: In our report, we
did a lot of analysis in order to help us figure out what was the right balance for the routes that we put in the
Concept Plan. So, this is just one example of charts that you’ll find in the report, out on our website, if you take a
look. This particular one shows the number of people that will have access to high-frequency service; we define
high-frequency service as every 15 minutes, and in this case it’s a 5-minute walk or roll to the bus stop for transit
stations. So, the top chart refers to the entire region, all populations, the middle is just for people of color, and the
bottom is representing low-income communities. All three of these are set up the same way with the number of
people across the bottom and then the various plans are what you see from top to bottom. So, in all cases, the red
is our Concept Plan, and the number of people that would be within a 5-minute walk or roll to more frequent
service is significantly higher for what we’re proposing than either what we have today or what we had prior to the
pandemic.
Cyndi said now I will go ahead and turn this over to Scott to talk through Cottage Grove itself.
Council Member Thiede said just out of curiosity, a few years ago, I attended most of the sessions for the DOT and
the amount of vehicles, the 20-year-plan of vehicles and infrastructure and how those two things would be coming
together and things like that. Have you kind of factored any of that into some of your stuff, where it may not be
right today but there may be some decisions you make today that could accommodate the future when potentially
you could get more autonomous? Obviously, the straight back and forth, if it’s a fixed route, is a lot easier than
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 4 of 9
let’s say your micro, when you get to a certain point where you said people would get on it and put their
destination. So, I’m just curious whether or not you’ve kind of factored that or if you’re looking at any of that.
Cyndi replied yes, that’s a great question. A couple of thoughts on that: First of all, just a reminder this is a near-
term plan, this is just for 2027. So, not directly taking any sort of autonomous vehicles into this. I will note, though,
that there is one of the other suburban transit providers in the region, Southwest Transit, out in the Eden Prairie
area, that actually just acquired an autonomous vehicle that they’re going to be using for their version of micro.
It’s still very much in the testing phase and actually there still has to be a person on board the whole time, so it
kind of defeats that purpose, but hopefully the idea is that technology will come along. Considering that labor is by
far the most expensive part of providing transit service, that is certainly going to be a game changer. So, in terms of
what’s in our plan today, I would say micro is sort of heading that way, but we don’t have anything in there that
will preclude that. But, yes, I think when the technology comes along to the point where that’s actually a viable
alternative at a mass scale, that’s when it will be taking the entire industry to develop that.
Council Member Thiede said I know White Bear has their kind of pilot autonomous vehicle program, and I think
it’s still running. Cyndi replied okay, and I know there’s one up in Grand Rapids as well. Council Member Thiede
said but with White Bear, I’d have to look it up to find out what the actual, but they had some autonomous transit
as well. Cyndi replied okay, that’s good to know.
Scott stated so, as Cyndi said, what you really want to know about is what’s happening in Cottage Grove, what are
we proposing here? So, this is a snapshot of what I’m going to detail in a moment. First of all, the map and route
on the left-hand side is the commuter express service, Route 363, that is going to continue to operate as it does
today. The new local Route 301, which is proposed from Cottage Grove up to Woodbury, and then discontinued
service, Routes 361, 364, and 365; I want to preface that Route 363 has replaced those two routes, 361 and 365,
since during the pandemic.
So, here’s the proposed Route 301, and this is a new connection from Woodbury to Cottage Grove and
operating through the center of Cottage Grove, connecting a number of destinations here, including Park High
School, and it would originate at the Walmart at the south end. Then it will follow 80th Street across to Hinton
Avenue-Radio Drive, ultimately to Valley Creek, and terminating at the new Gold Line station; so, it’s both a
connection between Cottage Grove and Woodbury, but also a connection to the Gold Line. It’s operating every 60
minutes, weekdays only right now, as this is a test, this is a beginning.
Council Member Thiede asked do you have some sort of agreement with Walmart for people parking at
Walmart and getting on that?
Scott replied well, this is really early on; this is a proposal, this is a Concept Plan, and it’s an important
distinction here to say that these are concepts and proposals that we’re bringing to you and the public, and we
want your feedback on it. Does this do what we really want it to do, connect the places that we want to? We’re
also, Council Member Garza is part of the Red Rock Corridor, and we presented to those commission members a
couple weeks ago, so we’re also aware of the Red Rock Corridor Concept Plans for this area. So, there’s a number
of things here that we could consider; this is a connection that we’ve talked about for quite a long time as a
possibility between Cottage Grove and Woodbury. Certainly, with the addition of the Gold Line, that really makes
that an important new connection.
Council Member Garza asked are we proposing micro runs in Cottage Grove as well or is that just in Woodbury?
Scott replied not at this time. Right now, we have proposed eight micro zones, and most of those, as you heard
at the Red Rock Commission, those are connected to mostly our aBRT (Arterial Bus Rapid Transit) or regional aBRT
service and transit centers.
Council Member Garza asked so if we are having the one pickup at Walmart and it looks like we’re just running
down Radio Drive, what about the other side of Highway 61 or our senior living or any of those things? How are we
looking to get our community accessible, up to Walmart?
Scott replied that’s a good question, and this is one option for service from Cottage Grove to this connection to
Woodbury, but certainly, as you know in the Red Rock Corridor study, there’s other possibilities for connections
from Cottage Grove up to Woodbury.
Cyndi said if I could add to that as well, please, two other things: So, first of all, there is also Transit Link service
that serves Cottage Grove today that is open to anybody, and that is a system where you need to call ahead and
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 5 of 9
make a reservation, it’s not on demand, so that’s a little bit different. But that service I’ll just say will continue to
run, the Transit Link. Then also micro is, in every single community that we’ve been out to talk to, everybody wants
micro. So, we’re going from one design in the past 3.5 years, we think that’s a good place for us to start, but it
looks like that will not be the end of it. Like I said, every community we’ve been to they want to know when
they’re going to get micro, and so this is where we’re starting, we needed to kind of get our feet underneath us.
We’re going from essentially 5 buses to 50 buses that do micro, so that’s a significant increase, but there’s also a
difference between each of these elements it’s maybe 5-or-6 square miles, they’re relatively small. So, we do that
because we want to keep the average wait time under 30 minutes. So, it’s one thing, and many of the other
suburban providers already have this type of service as well, it’s one thing for them to figure out how to do that in
a one-community basis, we’re still working on how you do that on a more regional basis. I think we’ve heard
definitely Cottage Grove would potentially be a good market for it, in terms of certainly land use patterns to
support travel patterns and such. So, but I think right now we’re just trying to figure out how do we start this off,
so the idea of connecting the transitways is where we start with that, but there’ll be another round of this stuff
certainly.
Council Member Garza said and you guys are aware that we are building a lot of new homes, single-family
homes, different mix type of homes out there, so that’s going to increase, having some in Newport, too. Do you
guys remember that there were roads to a circulator 30 years ago or so? So, that looks like a micro route that you
guys had back then, I don't know, I never utilized it, but do we still, didn’t we have those, we stopped, and now
we’re going back to micro routes?
Cyndi replied my understanding is at that time, 25 years ago, those were fixed routes. So, if there was a more
micro aspect to that, that predates.
Scott replied actually, no, I think it was a little bit more extensive than what is out there today; the 225 and 227
are kind of the remaining routes from that, but it had more coverage, but they were fixed routes, yes.
Cyndi said and the Route 301 is kind of a similar idea, in terms of we don’t necessarily do branding by individual
cities anymore, like we did for Roseville and Edina had something similar, so we integrated them into our regular
network.
Council Member Khambata said so, at the bottom of that route where it intersects 80th and Hinton, we’re building
54 senior affordable housing units that are going to be a two-block walk from that bus stop. There’s also another
cluster of apartments there that you can also service, so, I think the placement of that is good. The only thing I
wish was different is, and this is a question for you guys, does this route just double back on itself, like it just goes
up and down the same route?
Scott replied yes.
Council Member Khambata said rather than doing that, if it had some way to like jog a half mile down and catch
the other senior complexes, that would be huge; but also, we have DARTS that runs one day a week. So, there
might be an opportunity with our kind of local service that we do have to kind of funnel some of those people who
are utilizing that service and coordinate it with this route. So, I think that’s something to look into. Rather than
having a separate micro route, we already have a DARTS service that’s meant to serve people and get them just
kind of around the community; but if that service can coincide with the timing at some of these stops, I think that
could be another useful tool for them.
Scott replied right, and again, this is a proposed route concept, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that we need to
follow exactly what’s on the map here. But as we work with the cities on your Comprehensive Plans, your future
plans, that’s really an important element that we want to consider as we’re looking at new service. I was
impressed by the development that’s happening on the old City Hall site.
Council Member Khambata said yes, I think there’s a lot of potential users very close to where and probably by
no coincidence where you guys kind of wanted this to drop down into Cottage Grove.
Mayor Bailey said so, let’s say the southern end there, by the Walmart parking lot, is there a plan then to be stops
as it’s going all the way back up to Woodbury? Scott replied yes. Mayor Bailey said so, like Target, and then it
would go up? Scott replied yes, correct.
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 6 of 9
Mayor Bailey said okay, so that’s one; two is, and I’ll call it the elephant in the room if you want, because we hear
about it, I’m on TAB, so I hear about this all the time, too, so crime. Crime is moving out to the suburbs, it appears
and it feels that way, at least the way we’re hearing it from some TAB members, who are mayors and council
people in some of these other suburbs. I do have a fear, a concern, that there’s going to be crime coming across
and then they’re going to be dropping down into Cottage Grove. I do know in talking to the mayor of Woodbury,
there’s already some concerns there, even just with a bridge that’s crossing to Oakdale and Woodbury, which is
crazy to think a bridge is doing that. Is there a thought process on, I know you guys have Metro Transit police and
so on, is there a plan to have coverage or?
Cyndi replied so, a couple thoughts on that, and that speaks to what we hear all the time as well. On our
website we have a whole list, a huge list of all the various initiatives and plans, and we’ve dealt with that. I would
say I’m not especially concerned about this particular route, or this type of route, for a couple reasons: Most of
what you’re hearing the concerns about is on the transitways, so the light rail lines or the services, which only have
the presence of a driver in the front of the bus; even though they’re not police, it really does have a big, I’d say,
calming effect. Also, the likelihood of somebody who takes the Gold Line maybe out of St. Paul, all the way to
Woodbury, and then transfers to come here, that’s not something that people are planning to do; that’s just not
what we’re seeing, in terms of the crime on that is more when you have some people who are unhoused and don’t
have anyplace else to really be going. The fact that this is not running in the evenings I think cuts down on quite a
bit of that. These routes, and we have these type of routes all around the region, these are not the routes that
we’re having issues with when you hear about some of the things that are in the media and such. So, I think
Woodbury is more concerned about that because that is the light transitway connection between them and St.
Paul, downtown. But we have a lot of these types of routes, and these aren’t the ones that are causing concerns.
Mayor Bailey said and then you had alluded to, I think you called it, is it Metro Link? Cyndi said, Transit Link.
Mayor Bailey said we have some, and I’m just going to make my pitch, even though I know it’s just a pitch, the one
biggest challenge I do hear from some of the people that use that in our community, especially our seniors, is a lot
of them want to go to St. Paul, but the service doesn’t run past 6 o'clock? Cyndi said it runs from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. Mayor Bailey said and it doesn’t run on the weekends; Cyndi said that’s correct. Mayor Bailey said so if there
is a pitch, I would just share with you I hear that a lot from our senior communities in Cottage Grove. As a matter
of fact, there’s a particular individual that I think has me on email with Sue Vento, whom we both know very well,
and our County Commissioner, Karla Bigham, just because of the concern of why can’t I get to my family over in St.
Paul on the weekends for a birthday? Somebody has to come and get me, you know, those kind of things. So, I just
want you to be aware of that. And in case we haven’t really officially said it as a City, I would be ecstatic for my
family. So, don’t think, I don’t want you to get away from here going hey, Cottage Grove didn’t bring it up, either.
You can add us to the list with everybody else because; Cyndi said I figured that was the case, and we did just bring
that yesterday at the Washington County Board as well. Cyndi said yes, it’s duly noted.
Council Member Garza said thank you for the opportunity to give us boarding events from up here, and you’ve
seen the space that we use for the State Fair, our Park and Ride was packed beyond capacity. And I’m not thinking
that our sporting events are going to bring us to that, but it would be nice to be able to connect to all of our
sporting events that are happening here on the weekends because we don’t have any way to get there, so it’s just
a thought.
Scott said all right, so Route 363, this is a route that’s been operating since or during the pandemic; it was changed
from the 361-365 combination, 361 is express service to downtown St. Paul, 365 to Minneapolis. With the changes
in travel patterns that Cyndi described, the ridership just isn’t there right now to support two separate routes. So,
we’re going to continue the 363 as it is today, serving the Cottage Grove Park and Ride and the Park and Ride at
Lower Afton and then downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis. One of the new elements to this, and it isn’t unique to
this route, is recognizing that there’s been a change in the way people want to travel to and from work, maybe
they want to come home in the middle of the day; that’s kind of a new deal, so recognizing that on the 363, we’re
going to introduce a new midday trip to serve that travel desire.
City Council Special Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 7 of 9
Council Member Garza asked do you know the proposed route that it would go up and down? Is there any
opportunity to make it rather than up and down, so that means cut across to the other side of Highway 61 and
come back up? Is that a typical route, or is it just the one that’s going up to Woodbury?
Scott asked are you talking about the 301?
Council Member Garza replied yes, if it could swing back around and come back on that side of Highway 61 and
come back around, and I don't know what St. Paul Park and Newport are using, or if it’s stopping there, but that
would be a good way to connect those lines.
Scott replied yeah, that type of service is one of the proposed routes, as you know, in the Red Rock Corridor
that would do that. At this point, that’s not part of this, but that’s why we’re out here, to take comments about
that kind of thing.
Council Member Garza said well, I just want to make sure both side of Highway 61 are going to be covered;
Scott replied right.
Scott said lastly, discontinued service; as I said, we’re consolidating routes to just the 363, 361, 364, which had
done some of that coverage that you described, and the 365 to Minneapolis. The other element of the 361 that is
part of the discontinued services are what we call a local tail on the route, and the local tail came across 80th
Street and up into north of 80th Street, is not coming back. Back in the day, the local tail was operated on both
north and south of 80th Street; as the Park and Ride got more popular and of course the Park and Ride that we had
originally was at 80th Street and Highway 61, at the shopping center. And then we went a number of places trying
to find a permanent home for the Park and Ride, finally, we bought the property that we have now, it was
Washington County’s proposed site. What we found was as that Park and Ride, even though it’s on the other side
of Highway 61, with that new Park and Ride and the facility that we have and no space constraints at all, people
voted with their feet. The local tails, both north and south, the ridership just kind of went away; we hung onto the
north extension to pre-pandemic, but we were talking about maybe 3 or 4 a day on that segment, so that’s the
rationale for that also.
Council Member Khambata said I have a question about that. So, with Cottage Grove, St. Paul Park, the south
end of Woodbury, and Newport, we’re talking about a population that’s got to be creeping up on 70,000 or 80,000
people. I guess I was a little surprised that ridership is so low. With that amount of people, our other demographics
depict and tell us that there is a greater need than the number that’s actually utilizing it. So, I guess my question is,
as somebody who grew up in Cottage Grove my whole life, I never went on public transit until I moved to Chicago,
and then it was a matter of economics; because to drive through downtown took 2.5 hours, it didn’t matter what
time of day, and the L-train was a 55-minute ride at the time. So, is it like a habit thing or human nature thing, like
what’s driving people to not utilize the service even though there’s clearly a demonstrated need?
Ryan replied there’s a couple pieces to that answer, I think there’s more than 2; but one of them, first of all, is
generally all of our ridership on the express service is way, way down. We were at over 350 rides on the 365 prior
to the pandemic, and now we’re at about 130, so, we lost a lot of ridership. And then the other important piece
here, it kind of partially gets to your point of what’s going on here, the economics; downtown St. Paul has always
been way cheaper to park than downtown Minneapolis. Now, our ridership to downtown Minneapolis is 82% of
that, 135 rides per day are going to Minneapolis, and we’ve only got less than 20 people that are destined for
downtown St. Paul. Although parking in both downtowns is now cheaper because of demand, parking in
Minneapolis has always been way more expensive, and our office used to be in downtown St. Paul. I like to tell the
story that back in the late 1970s, when we were in the now Ramsey County building, the American Center building,
you could park downtown for about $1.50; 30 years later, you could still park in the parking lot over at Broadway
and Kellogg for about $2. So, even as inflation has gone up, the real cost of parking in downtown St. Paul has gone
down, and that has a direct relationship of peoples’ decision on whether or not to take transit, as you know from
Chicago parking prices.
Council Member Khambata said and I think it’s a timing thing, right? So, if I want to drive to St. Paul for a Wild
game, I need to give myself 15, 20 minutes, and you’re right, parking, even for events is pretty reasonable in St.
Paul. And it’s like if I was going to take a bus there, I mean it would take me at least an hour; so, the fiscal
requirements and the time don’t add up to just driving. I think that’s the only reason why I would think that people
don’t opt to use it.

Cyndi said yeah, that’s the challenge with transit service for our outlying suburbs is the land use patterns for the
most part, you have lower density; you are certainly more widely distributed, you don’t necessarily have always a
good pedestrian network in terms of sidewalks and things like that to be able to access it. Generally, and this is
going to be stereotyping and I don’t want to do that, but many of the riders who use our local service are right in
Minneapolis and St. Paul are doing it because either they don’t have other good options available or because they
live in areas where parking is tough; the University of Minnesota, for example, or it’s more expensive. Free parking
is a huge deterrent, I guess I would say, to using our transportation. If you have an option, once you have a vehicle,
you’re most likely to use it. So, the idea involves being fiscally competitive in the travel time because you have to
have enough people, a number of people in small areas to be able to make stuff up; otherwise, you’re having to try
to catch your ridership all the way along. In order to do that, it means you’re stopping at stops all along the way,
which then slows it back down. So, yeah, that is definitely the challenge. For the most part, in a market area of 3 or
4 forms of transportation policy plan, like with Cottage Grove, would be those are areas that generally don’t
support a significant amount of all day, high-frequency service; they’re more of an express market because your
rates of auto ownership are high. So, they’re maybe taking a higher than desirable amount of a budget to do that,
but once you have a car, you don’t have to put a dollar into the ignition every time you start it; so, people kind of
start to separate the difference on that. Residents in this area tend to use transit for economic benefit or if it’s just
because they don’t want to deal with congestion to get into downtown. There are definitely areas where there a
fair number of more service industry-oriented type jobs in Cottage Grove that generally don’t pay quite as well,
just like you see in many other cities. So that’s also a two-way thing, bringing people into the community to work
as well as where are the residents trying to get; but the land use is definitely based on part of the infrastructure
out here and we’re trying to fit in with that. It’s been a big challenge for 50 years.
Council Member Khambata asked have you guys been able through your policies and routing in older, kind of
legacy suburbs particularly, Fridley, Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, where you’re still kind of out of the city center
but a similar distance? Like how were you able to mitigate or are you still facing those same challenges in some of
those other communities that are a little bit older and more established than we are?
Cyndi replied that’s a great question. So, a community like Maple Grove, for example, doesn’t have all-day
service, it’s express service only, and that’s just from the population perspective we’re looking at. With both
Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove, there are over 70,000 residents in each of those cities. In the case of Maple
Grove, we actually had to cut their routes as well, as Maple Grove doesn’t support all-day service because of the
land usage. Brooklyn Park is a little different story, because there’s something else to Brooklyn Park; you have the
part of Brooklyn Park I would say that is south of about 85th Avenue, or certainly south of Highway 610, that is
much-higher density. When you look at your demographics, you look at income and a number of things, like the
number of renters, things that are all showing higher-density factors that show a higher tendency to use transit.
The southern part of Brooklyn Park in some ways matches up a lot more closely with Brooklyn Center and parts of
North Minneapolis. So, that’s really a button door of the newer areas, I guess I would say, in Brooklyn Park, that 25
years ago were still agriculture. We have the same challenges in those areas, they just tend to be single-family
homes that are for the most part starting at $400,000; if it goes by larger-increment lots with the streets, so to get
from Point A to Point B it’s not a great network, so it’s much more challenging with only one way in and one way
out in many of the subdivisions.
Next Steps: Cyndi said this is our timeline; we’re at the point where we released our plan back in September, we
are accepting public comments through November 15. There are lots of different ways for people to give
comments, we have our folder for it out on the website, along with an electronic comment card, so that’s kind of
the main way that people are communicating with us. But we also are out riding buses and trains with those paper
copies of the comment cards and talking to customers, do you know what’s going on? Here are some changes. We
also have pop-up events at transit centers and other locations throughout the region, popular gathering locations
where we’re talking with customers. Certainly, any opportunities using social media and some of those channels as
well. Any other opportunities in terms of being able to get feedback on other efforts that we have obtained that is
helping us make sure that we hear from some of those groups that tend to be more underrepresented when it
comes to communicating in a traditional outreach process. So, we’re really making sure that we hear about our
process in all of our communities and also to provide transit.

Council Member Olsen asked are you taking comments from municipalities, for example? I would assume, Jennifer,
we would put one together based on what we heard here today. Administrator Levitt replied absolutely.
Mayor Bailey said to add to that, Jennifer, maybe we could do some type of community outreach to funnel
people their way, because I do believe kind of what’s been said here, real quick, is I have zero concerns with what
you’re doing, adding that transit way, other than maybe a safety concern. But I do think somehow looping the
other side of the highway; there’s a uniqueness in our community where one side feels different than the other
side of our highway because we get all this and you guys get all that. It’s like I don't know how we’d figure that out,
but if there is an option, so I think when we get it out to the community, I think you’re going to hear that from
ours. It’s like yep, love it, but can you do something to get me over to that line so I can go into Woodbury.
Council Member Garza said even with our Park and Ride, that’s not walkable, you can’t walk over there.
Mayor Bailey said thank you to Cyndi and Scott for presenting this, and congratulated Scott on his upcoming
retirement. Council Member Olsen said it’s good information, appreciate it.

6. PRESENTATIONS
A. Terrance Patrick Cahill Award Recognition - Officer Sorgaard and K9 Odin
Staff Recommendation: Recognize Officer Matt Sorgaard and his partner, K9 Odin, for their
Achievements at the USPCA National Field Trials.
Sergeant Nils Torning stated this evening I’m here to discuss the recent accolades of Officer Matt Sorgaard and his
K9 partner, Odin. Officer Sorgaard was paired with Odin at the beginning of last year; during that time, he trained
with the Washington County Sheriff's Office and they got him up to speed to be a patrol dog team. This past June,
he attended his first Regional Trial, we certify with the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA), which is
one of the hardest certifying boards in the country for police K9s; at a Regional Trial, he did fantastic and obtained
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 2 of 22
a fifth place overall finish and obtained the Top Rookie Dog Team Award, and that’s for the top new handler-new
dog combination. In addition, he also received a Nationals qualifying score.
At that point, Officer Sorgaard expressed interest in wanting to go to the national competition, which was held
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the start of October. The Public Safety Board was able to assist us in funding so he
could make the trip down there to compete. There were 67 K9 teams in attendance from across the nation; they’re
all the top K9 teams from the qualifying Regions. The certification test consists of the same thing as the Regional
Certification Trial, which is Obedience, Article Search, which is searching for evidence, Box Search, which is
searching for human odor, and Apprehension events. During the event, Officer Sorgaard did absolutely fantastic
with his partner, Odin: He received first place for the Top Overall K9 Team and the combined apprehension score.
He also received the Terrance Patrick Cahill Award, which is a prestigious traveling trophy, and that’s for the
highest combined scores in obedience and apprehension work. He just barely missed the Top Overall Honors,
receiving second place of the Overall K9 Team, just getting edged out by Washington County’s Deputy Brandon
Yetter and K9 Huck, who happened to be his trainer for K9 School when he attended last year. So, I think
Washington County left a little on the table for us, but we’ll work on that in the future here.
Officer Sorgaard and Odin are a fantastic team, and they’ve done very well. Generally, Rookie K9 Teams don’t
even go to Nationals, there’s no Rookie Dog Award because most don’t go; it’s usually the more experienced
handlers and more experienced dogs. To go as a Rookie and get second place overall and win many of those
awards is absolutely fantastic. It’s something that we’re really proud of for Officer Sorgaard and Odin.
We again would like to thank the Cottage Grove Public Safety Board, as they help fund our K9 unit and they
helped with the purchase and training costs of Odin and Officer Sorgaard. They also assisted us with the travel
expenses to get to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. So, I’d like to just have a round of applause for Officer Sorgaard and K9
Odin, and everyone applauded.
Mayor Bailey said it is amazing when you think about how far the two of you have come. I remember about a year
ago when we were at Strawberry Fest and he decided he didn’t really want to do any work anymore; so, it was like,
oh, my goodness, this is going to be fun. This is just amazing, and you acknowledged this already, but I do want to
recognize the Public Safety Board because that was one of the issues, he wanted to go, and it proved extremely
beneficial, as National Award winning is unbelievable. So, thank you to the Public Safety Board for helping finance
our K9s within the City of Cottage Grove but also for this latest trip down to Baton Rouge so they could compete.
You should all be proud, I am, that within the City of Cottage Grove we have the best of the best. It’s not just best
of the best for our officers, but it’s also our K9.
Council Member Olsen asked do we maybe want to get a picture with the Public Safety Board, is that okay?
Mayor Bailey said absolutely, so come on up. Photos were taken with the Public Safety Board, Officer Sorgaard and
Odin, Council members, and other police officers present, and everyone applauded.
Mayor Bailey said thanks again and fantastic job!

and/or approval.
Council Member Olsen said this item is a recommendation to adopt a resolution accepting donations for 2024;
we do this periodically throughout the year as donations come in, and we always like to take a minute to just
recognize the people who are making an investment here in the City of Cottage Grove. In this case, it is a donation
of $2,000 that was received from Chris Gehrman for one of our memorial benches in remembrance of Cole
Gehrman.
In case you’re not aware, our Parks and Recreation Department has a program through which you can ask for
and receive a memorial bench to be placed in one of the City parks; they’re a really nice way for people to
remember loved ones they have lost. I’ve seen a lot of memorial benches out there, maybe placed in their favorite
place, and they can sit and talk to the person that the bench memorializes. I think it’s a very meaningful thing that
we do. If you know of anybody who might be interested in that service, you can reach out to our Parks and
Recreation Department, just call City Hall, 651-458-2800, and ask to be transferred, and they’ll help you with that.
Motion by Council Member Khambata to approve the Consent Agenda; second by Council Member Garza.

9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Tall Weeds Assessment Hearing
Staff Recommendation: 1) Hold the Public Hearing. 2) Adopt Resolution 2024-142, Adopting Service
Charges for the Removal of Noxious Weeds and Plants from Private Property.
Brenda Malinowski, Finance Director, stated this evening is a Public Hearing for Noxious Weeds, and we do this
through our City Code process, specifically regarding plants and weeds in Zoning Districts. We state that on platted
or developed lands within the City limits, it shall be unlawful to allow or permit any growth of grass or weeds to a
height greater than 8 inches. We have a method to abate those conditions, and I have the process here to review
with you:
Our Code Enforcement Officer mails a notice to the property owner with 5 days notice to abate those
conditions, and that happened 83 times in 2024. If that property owner does not abate those conditions within
that timeframe, the City hires a contractor to abate the conditions, and that happened 12 times in 2024. An invoice
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 4 of 22
is then sent to the property for the cost that the City incurred to abate those conditions; the property owner then
has the ability to pay that invoice. If they don’t pay it, then we go to Minnesota Statute Chapter 429 process, and
that’s where we are this evening. At the last Council Meeting, we declared the costs, we sent a notice to these
property owners of the Assessment Hearing tonight and published it as required. So, tonight we’re here to hold
the Public Hearing. Once the assessment is approved, again the property owner will get another notice with 30
days to pay. If they do not, then we would certify it to be collected with the 2025 property taxes.
Mayor Bailey opened the Public Hearing.
Nancy Pryzbilla, 7764 Jocelyn Avenue South, Cottage Grove, stated as Director Malinowski was reading that, now if
they have a wooded area in their yard, you can’t take out the buckthorn and the other weeds that are like up to
hear is what I’m trying to figure out.
Administrator Levitt stated with that specific item, it might be better for staff to address. These residences that
are specifically on your roll this evening were in a maintained, more manicured state; none of them were related
to buckthorn or wooded areas just for clarification.
Mayor Bailey said I was going to say I don’t think if it’s something that’s tucked behind a house or something
like that we typically don’t get involved in that. It’s more of what’s being seen from the street.
Ms. Pryzbilla said, oh, from the street, so if it’s in the back yard it doesn’t apply.
Mayor Bailey said if a neighbor is complaining, we might talk about that, but I don't know, honestly, if we’ve
actually been in there. He asked Conner Jakes, Associate Planner, to speak on this as I know you’re the one who
kind of helps with this.
Associate Planner Jakes stated generally Code Enforcement, just for overall processes is complaint driven for the
most part, whether that’s front yard or back yard. However, we do work with property owners as the process
indicated; generally, it is specifically related to the grass height; weeds would fall under kind of a separate
category, still 8 inches, but we work with property owners on that for the buckthorn removal. All the letters
referenced tonight are properties related specifically to grass as the ordinance indicates, but generally it’s grass
related.
Mayor Bailey asked Ms. Pryzbilla if that answered her question and she said sure.
As no one else wished to speak on this item, Mayor Bailey closed the Public Hearing.
Motion by Council Member Thiede to Adopt Resolution 2024-142, Adopting Service Charges for the Removal of
Noxious Weeds and Plants from Private Property; second by Council Member Khambata. Motion carried: 5-0.
B. 2024 Pavement Management Hearing
Staff Recommendation: 1) Conduct the Public Hearing for the 2024 Pavement Management Project. 2)
Adopt Resolution 2024-143, Adopting the Assessment Roll for the 2024 Pavement Management
Project.
Ryan Burfeind, Public Works Director, stated tonight we’re hear to discuss the 2024 Pavement Management
Project and kind of the final step in our process throughout the year and our Assessment Hearing. We always like
to talk about the history of pavement management, and this map goes back to 2010, but pavement management
has been happening since the mid-1990s with implementation of our Special Assessment Policy through our
Infrastructure Management Task Force. So, there’s a long track record of doing these residential-type projects,
along with some main roads that we’ve done as well throughout many decades here in Cottage Grove.
The project area this year you can see on the map, just north of 80th Street, construction ranged from 1990 to
1994, so these were 30-to-34-year-old streets that we were completing the project on this year. What I really want
to touch on from my perspective, before I turn it over to our Crystal Raleigh, our Assistant City Engineer, is talking
about a couple of challenges we had this year and some more things we heard from the residents in the
neighborhood; I really just want to speak to those directly.
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 5 of 22
First is the project schedule, and as we go through a project like this, we do a lot of notices on what’s happening,
what’s the upcoming work, and we certainly heard some concerns from residents on how that changed
throughout the summer. A lot of that was obviously rain delays; previous to this year, we had two years of very
extreme droughts. This year, fortunately, for a lot of good reasons, we had a lot of rain, and it does make
construction a challenge. I looked between the months of June, July, and August, and there were 39 days with rain;
so, you’re really talking every other day or every third day with rain. In Cottage Grove directly, we had about 22
inches of rain, with the average being 13; so, we didn’t quite double our summer average, but we were close to
double. Unfortunately, that has a major impact on projects like this, as a lot of work we physically can’t do while
it’s raining, and with some of the work, we have to let the work dry out, like when it’s a gravel base you can’t be
paving when it’s saturated. So, that certainly had an impact this summer. I do apologize to the residents for that
because it’s something that’s out of our control, but we still want to deliver the project as fast as we can. I will say
that the final substantial completion date with that wear course paving was set for August 30, and we did that on
August 20; so, even with the rain, we still met our deadlines that were set in the contract.
Director Burfeind said the other one is curb damage. When we’re done placing that new curb, and we put that
first layer of asphalt, we have a big process there with a lot of equipment, and a big part of that is rolling that,
getting that density, and getting that rolling pattern right up to the curb. Really, one of the failure points is actually
where that pavement meets the curb, so it is very critical to get close. Something we do always see in any project
is some damage to the curb; after that’s done, that requires some replacement. Unfortunately, with this project,
we saw a much greater extent due to the work that the contractor did; so, about 15% of the curb had to be
removed and replaced after that first base course of paving was done. This is something that the contractor did
fully at their cost, there was no additional cost to the project, to the City, or to the residents from that. There were
also additional impacts to driveway access, so although there was no cost, I do acknowledge that there certainly
was an impact to the everyday lives of the folks in this neighborhood; that’s another thing that I’d like to apologize
for, it’s something that maybe the City didn’t cause, but it’s still our project and we have to own that. I just want to
really make mention of that directly. There was obviously some additional restoration reseeding that needed to be
done and irrigation work, and that’s something that was also done by the contractor at no cost. So, while there
was not the monetary side of it, there was certainly the impact to the daily lives of our residents, so I just wanted
to make mention of those two issues.
With that, I’ll turn it over to Crystal Raleigh, Assistant City Engineer, and she’ll talk more about some project
specifics and then the assessment process. Mayor Bailey said sounds good, welcome Crystal.
Crystal stated I appreciate Ryan talking through some of our project challenges, and I’ll talk through some of the
project successes that we had. I’m going to share some before and after photos of the project: This is Jenner
Avenue in front of you, and in that before photo, you’ll see a lot of that cracking, a lot of patching, and then in the
after photo, we’ve got a nice, new, smooth mat of pavement out there. Jocelyn Avenue had a lot of pockets where
water can collect in that before photo and get in there and freeze and break up that pavement. In the after photo,
there’s a nice smooth pavement again. You’ll see in the before photo, kind of way in the back, you can see a
manhole, and we were able to address several issues that we had out there with utilities with this project, so that
was a success. On 79th Street, again more cracking, more patching, and I would note that the curb was 100%
replaced with this project.
The total project costs came in at $1,122,149.32; this bill gets paid between a variety of sources. Several sources
are our own Utility Funds, so the Sanitary Sewer Utility, Water Utility, Stormwater Utility, and Streetlighting funds
pick up significant shares of this project cost. Also, the General Levy does pay for a portion of the costs; on this
one, the General Levy pays $488,048.71. The assessments, if approved tonight, would pick up the remainder of
$502,685.69.
On the screen are the assessable properties within this neighborhood, we had 79 assessable properties. You’ll
see the two skinny blue slivers there, and those are City park properties, and the City does pick up the costs for the
street improvements in front of City properties, so that is not included in that calculation to be assessed.
Like I said, there are 79 assessable properties, in our Assessment Policy, we refer to these as Residential
Buildable Lot Equivalents (RBLEs). The estimated assessment back at the beginning of the project, earlier this
winter, was $6,647.65, and then every year the City does a Special Benefit Appraisal (SBA) to see what type of
benefit the properties would have by having a nice, fixed street in front of their house. The SBA supports about

$7,500 of a benefit, so we never assess more than that amount, so our proposed assessment is in line with that.
The actual assessment came in at $6,363.11, so we came in a little under budget on this project, so it dropped a
little bit. If the property owners choose to pay this over 15 years, the average annual payment would be $591.40.
Assessment Terms: If this is paid by November 15, there would be no interest charge if it’s paid in full. Partial
payment is allowed, so a property owner could pay any portion more than $500 towards that assessment, and
then the remaining unpaid portion would be payable over the next 15 years; that is subject to an interest rate that
is 1.5% over our bond rate, so in this case, the interest rate would be 4.8%. Finally, deferral is available for those
that meet the qualifications: Disabled, Military, 65 years of age or older; proof is needed for deferrals, and if
anybody is interested in that, they can work with our Finance Department and Engineering to get that set up. It’s
important to note that interest does still accrue during that deferral period.
One more thing I wanted to note is we did receive two objections to the assessment, and the City Attorney is
here to speak to those objections. With that, the recommendation is on the screen before you, and I’ll stand for
questions.
Mayor Bailey asked if we wanted the City Attorney to speak on the objections first. Administrator Levitt replied
the two objections are in writing, in front of you, for this evening, and so that’s just to put those into the record. At
this time, we’d be willing to stand for questions after you open the Public Hearing.
Mayor Bailey asked if there were any questions for staff at this point from Council; none were asked.
Mayor Bailey opened the Public Hearing. He stated he’d read the names of those who signed up to speak. He
asked that they give their name and address for the record and would have up to three minutes to speak or ask
questions. Our staff will take down some notes, and after all comments have been heard, staff will provide any
feedback to those comments.
Dan Sullivan, 7869 Jenner Avenue South, said I’m a 60-year resident of Cottage Grove. I’m here to actually request
the Council to consider putting off a vote on a proposed amendment of the Prestige Estates pavement 2024 until
January, 2025 or early spring. The reason for this request is we, the citizens of Prestige Estates, just literally got the
notifications of the assessments in early October, and that only gives us 2 weeks since then. It really doesn’t give us
enough time to examine the assessment rolls as citizens. So, I would like to request that that be put off until
January or early spring. I also believe that the citizens in the neighborhood would appreciate delayed payment of
the assessment until after the holiday season. I realize that this will create a strain probably on the finance of this
project and the City staff having to redo a number of notices and communications with the County. I would also
like to request a meeting with the City staff and the homeowners of Prestige Estates. As a longtime resident of
Cottage Grove, I’ve seen many of these projects, my parents, my in-laws have all seen these projects go on, and
this project did not go off as we thought it should have gone. I do appreciate the acknowledgement that it didn’t
go as well as it could have. Some of the things that we kind of noticed is that the curbs were installed lower than
the original; so, what you actually get is instead of it being sloped right in, now you get kind of like this little dip
now right where it comes in, which causes a tripping hazard. Not all of our curbs are what I like to call the curbs of
many colors because of the amount of curbing that had to be replaced, I think it’s more than 15%, at least it was
on our street, it was probably closer to 50%. So, now, as you look down our street, the curbs are all different colors
and if you look down it straight, they’re actually not even straight, they actually kind of have a little wave to them.
My other question or my other concern or the neighbors’ concern was the original paved road needed to be cut
up, patched up, and got beat up during the construction process to install the new curb sections. It kind of makes a
lot of us wonder what kind of warranty are we going to get with this? A lot of us are being assessed 15% for over
15 years, we just don’t want to have to redo this in 15 years. I mean we’ve already paid for it once, this thing’s
already been patched up, put together kind of mothballed, so I think we’d like to have some kind of reassurances
that this thing is going to last for the time that we’re paying for it. Another question was the neighbors’ parking
was very limited; so, my question would be can the construction equipment not be parked on the site? Can it be in
the future projects maybe moved to the Public Works Department? A lot of times our parking is limited, and then
we end up having to park even farther away because the construction equipment is sitting close to where we
happen to live. The other thing that was brought up was the communication from the contractor on start dates
was very poorly communicated. There were a couple times when they said on their website they were going to
City Council Meeting

start on a Monday, and literally they were out there on a Friday afternoon, when everybody had gone up to their
lakes; so, a lot of neighbors had to run around and try to get people’s cars moved so they would still have access to
them as this was being taken out. Lastly, I am currently a consultant for the electric company, and I’d like to
suggest you find a new security measure for the streetlight’s splicing boxes. What’s in place can easily be accessed
with a socket wrench, and the copper cables can be easily stolen out of the conduits; so, I think you’ve got some
security issues there. That’s all I had, thank you very much.
Eli Weinmann, 9488 79th Street South, said I’m here just to talk about one thing, and that is to explain why the
special assessment is illegal. It boils down to just the requirement that the City has to prove that there’s a special
benefit. So, they claim that the special benefit is given to us because the repair had increased our property value
by at least $6,300. The City has not provided proof that the property values went up nor will they until this goes to
District Court, so I’m just going to put aside the amount for now and just assume or pretend that the City feels that
our properties’ values did increase. If a newly-paved road increases property value, that means than an older,
degraded road decreases property value. This property value increase, assuming the City proves that there is one,
is only realized if the homeowner sells their house at that moment in time when the road is new. Should the
homeowner stay for another 30 years, the road is once again damaged and that means that the residents would
have paid $6,300 and they would have gained $0 in special benefit. And now the City is once again going to ask
them to pay for another road repair and claim that it’s going to raise their property value. I want to point out a
couple of items that Council Member Olsen said during the last hearing that approved the road repair, I quote:
“I’m a taxpayer, you’re a taxpayer, my kids go to school, your kids go to school. The City has assets it has to protect,
that’s why we have a Police Department, that’s why we have a Fire Department, that’s why we have a Public Works
Department, all us taxpayers pay into that.” He went on: “Part of the responsibility of the local government entity
is to ensure every street in the City, which our assets are in good shape, because that allows us people to live in a
community that people want to live in and feel safe and comfortable.” A couple things that I find very interesting
about these statements, he listed all the things which the City maintains via taxes, suggesting the road repair fits
into the same category. He also mentioned that the responsibility of local government is to ensure streets are in
good shape. Lastly, he said that the reason to keep the roads in good shape is to allow the people to want to live
here, a benefit for the City. A reason Council Member Olsen never mentioned for the road repair was to provide a
special benefit to the residents. At the same hearing, when we questioned the special benefit, we were accused of
not wanting to pay our fair share or wanting others to pay for the road, a gross misrepresentation of the
challenges we brought up. It’s not about not wanting to pay for our fair share, it’s about doing it in the correct way,
in a way that abides by the Constitution of Minnesota. The illegal use of special assessments to maintain roads
needs to stop, you’re taking advantage of citizens that don’t know enough about the topic to challenge the
predatory practice. Set taxes at the correct level in order to pay for the road repairs, that’ll give you a better idea
of what the actual taxes are and perhaps a lot of City officials to think twice before bragging about the low level of
taxes, something that also occurred in that meeting. So, today I fully expect the Council to approve the special
assessment, not because they believe that they are in the right, but because it’s the easy way, it’s the way it’s been
for many years. The alternative would mean doing actual work to change the process to balance a new budget, to
raise taxes. So, if you sit here and legitimately tell us that you believe there’s a special benefit to us, the citizens
you serve, you are lying to us, you are lying to yourselves. If you choose to address the items I brought up, we
don’t need to hear anything about paying our fair share, we don’t need to hear any speeches about how we are
one City, all we need to hear is one thing, and that’s explain how we are receiving a special benefit knowing that
the road will degrade, reducing any property value gains, if any, and requiring another road project in the future.
Jake Robinson, 9501 79th Street South, stated just to piggyback off of what Eli said as well, I’m here to petition that
we do not adopt the assessment. There is no special benefit that a new road has to our properties, it’s insulting to
pretend that it does, it doesn’t. In preparation for this, I actually had two appraisals done on my property, one
before and one after, and it’s less than $1,000 property value, not $7,500. I took some pictures of the road, which
apparently need to be replaced because they could potentially fail. Its never going to fail, that road was plenty
thick, plenty fine. St. Paul Park has never replaced any of their roads, they don’t have the same thing where they
go through and shake the property owners down; their roads could never fail, and I spend a lot of time down in St.

Paul Park. When you talk about special benefits, what about fire stations? What about properties near a fire
station? Do we shake down those property owners because they’re all just real close to fire, therefore the Fire
Department doesn’t have to go as far to service their house in case of a fire? And then also to piggyback off of the
tax portion of it, how many assessments did we do this year, one? Just ours? If you spread that out amongst how
many property owners and business owners in Cottage Grove, I don’t think that equates to $500 and some dollars
for a property owner. I think if we do it the right way, spread it across, you can still do the work you want to do
without lumping somebody with a $6,500 bill that needs to be paid. And also to piggyback off of it, I don't know
how the $7,500 special benefit was attributed, but I’m assuming it has to do with aesthetics, and that goes right
into what we’re talking about here. The curbs are not exactly how they’re supposed to be, they’re not lined up,
they’re all different colors. The driveways don’t match the concrete in the driveways anymore, so what does that
have? What benefit does that have to the property owner now? There is just no logic to this, there’s no logic,
there’s no reason to it. I think this is just how it’s always been done. I can’t find any records that it’s ever been
challenged in District Court, and I plan to explore all options in doing just that. Thank you.
Nancy Schouveller, 7929 Jenner Avenue South, stated I just wanted to address Lake Jenner in front of my home
and several other neighbors. It was very destructive to our property. I don't know what happened during
construction, I know they put silt lining in the sewers there, I don't know if 79th or Jocelyn had their own private
lakes, I do not know, but ours was terrible. Over Labor Day weekend, we had all that torrential rain, and we have a
camera out in front of our house, and we were out of town, and it went all the way up to our boulevard tree and
past and washed out everything that they did. I know my husband was in contact with you, thank you for your
assistance in that. But I don't know if it’s been fixed because we haven’t had the major rainstorm, and I don't know
if we’re going to encounter that again where it’s going to wash out our boulevards and destroy, I mean, it’s
terrible, it was way past; so, I don't know if that has been addressed and if other property owners on the other
streets had that issue. But with the pavement being not necessarily straight and the curbs, I don't know for
drainage issues if we’re going to have that in our quadrant going forward. So, that is a concern, thank you.
Steve Gunderson, 7774 Jenner Avenue South, I was the lucky one where Phase 1 ended at my property and Phase
2 started at my property, so I got to deal with it the whole shot. I live next door to the sod father, he’s crazy about
his lawn, it’s been hellacious with this whole summer, it’s been bad. I was told my grass was going to look like,
‘cause I have to work hard to keep my grass, to keep up with that guy; I was told my grass was going to be restored
to the level that it was before. They put topsoil down and made a little dip for me, so now I’ve got this dip; I bought
my own sod, Dan coordinated sod for all of us on our street, we paid our money to get it, we laid it, and then they
came out and ripped up the curb. They just painted it pink. I wanted to say to them just leave it, I’m good, ‘cause I
didn’t deal with the sod again. Now the only piece of sod that looks good is the stuff that the contractor laid after
the fact, right? The stuff I laid looks like garbage because they put topsoil down, and then it rained, and then it
sank. I mean, it’s really, really frustrating. So, you’re gonna do what you’re gonna do, but it’s just really frustrating
the way that this whole thing went down. It was really bad. Thanks.
Dan Schouveller, 7929 Jenner Avenue, stated Myron has seen the videos, Myron has seen, we’ve been in
communication. The contractor did come out after, did take care of things, but you know, it is so late in the season
to try to seed or to do any of this, I did go out and I did buy sod from Gertens, and I sodded my whole front
because I knew it’s too late, 100 bucks out of my pocket. And I think at the end of the day, having 3 guys come out,
drop dirt, drop seed, everything they were doing they probably coulda did sod for a whole lot less money, and I’ll
leave it at that.
Mayor Bailey said thank you, I think we’ll speak to that in a little bit here.
Duey (Duane) Peters, 9497 79th Street, stated I just kind of wanted to get in on the workmanship, the
communication. I, like a lot of neighbors here, resodded their yard only to get pink lines put on the curbs and all
the sod come out again, so we got to do it again. In that letter, they said that they would fix sprinklers if they
wrecked ‘em; I dug mine out, put flags around ‘em, they still tore ‘em off, no one fixed ‘em. So, I think that the
integrity of the road is also compromised; I mean, if you take a trencher and lay it down in a road, you’re not

compacting the soil back to what it was when the big machines were doing it. So, in my opinion, every place you
pulled them curbs out, they ain’t gonna last 30 years, they’re gonna start sinkin’ and they’re gonna fall apart ‘cause
water’s gonna get in there, it's gonna erode underneath there. I guess my question is, is did the City properly vet
this company that did this work? Because I can guarantee you that, someone from the City told me that whoever
did Phase 1, the crew that did Phase 1 was kind of a hack, or I can’t remember the term he used, but I’ve got news
for you, that wasn’t their first job. So, someone must’ve known that this crew was not that good because when
you look around on Jocelyn, their job turned out pretty nice, for the most part. They have a few curbs that were
bad, but I’ll bet on 79th Street we took out 50% or better. So, I guess my question is does the City actually look out
for the homeowners here, or do they take the lowest bid, and now we’re suffering the consequence of it because,
granted, I ain’t gonna see that road deteriorate, I’ll be out of there long before that. But Jake and Eli and some of
these younger ones, they’re gonna be there and probably get assessed again before we get to that 30-year mark.
So, I guess my point is what did we really do here, did the City really do what they’re supposed to do to make sure
that we got what we’re actually paying for? And the price, we’ve talked about the price, and the price is the price,
but did the homeowners really get what they had comin’, or did they just kinda get passed over? I mean, there
were places where they wouldn’t put the wings on the driveways, and the guy told me the reason he didn’t wanna
put the wings on my driveway was because the seams on the curb didn’t line up, because they were formed the
other way. And I said, come on, dude, I mean, you put the wings on there. Down the street, they put one wing on
one side, didn’t put one on the other. So, I guess whoever vetted this company probably needs to look at their
question and answer period again just to see, ya know, ‘cause this wasn’t, this didn’t turn out the way it should
have. So, that’s all I’ve got to say.
Milissa Fortuna, 7909 Jenner Avenue South, stated I just wanted to piggyback off the communication regarding
when they had to rip up the curb to redo it. You know, we were super diligent in making sure that we followed the
rules about when they first laid the curb, don’t drive over it, 7-to-10 days, make sure you park your cars out
because you will not be able, you will damage the integrity of the curb. So, we were very respectful of that. They
came in, they tore up the curb that they needed to tear up because it was not to the quality that it needed to be.
Nothing was flagged off; we had to take it upon ourselves to protect the sections in our yard that they had
replaced with whatever sticks were left over, whatever you call the tripods or whatever they’re called with the
lights, to make sure that it was protected so nobody would park on it and nobody would drive on it. Nothing was
ever communicated now you can drive on it again. It was almost like that curbing, it was put in, and we were never
communicated when we could go over it again. So, I feel that the integrity of the new curbing that was put in or
the replacement curbing that is of concern, as some of the other property owners mentioned, what is the
integrity? How is it going to hold up? And I just wanted to make that known that the communication on that was
really not what it should have been. So, thank you.
Mayor Bailey asked if there was anybody else who wished to speak, and there was not. He stated before I close the
Public Hearing, he stated we’ll start with Administrator Levitt and then kind of work our way around, and then
maybe Council might have some questions, too.
Administrator Levitt said I think what we’ve heard tonight is definitely the challenges that we had in regards to our
communication, working with our contractor, and as we started off this evening, we started off acknowledging it
didn’t go well. As I like to say, we had an operator on a roller who had a really bad day, and that, unfortunately,
affected our residents, and so for that we apologize. I will reiterate they did not pay for it, the City did not pay for
it, taxpayers did not pay for it. Those that put in their sod themselves, the contractor did work to replace that and
to replace the irrigation. Sometimes they didn’t do a good job, right? And, so, unfortunately, we tried to do
something right and they still got it wrong. So, it has taken a lot to continue to refix that. I know the Engineering
team will address things more specifically in the items, but I do want to continue to acknowledge our apologies for
that. You know the hundreds of miles of pavement that we’ve replaced over the years and have heard many
stories, but maybe not as hard as this evening, and so we do apologize for that.
In regards to the contractor, they were the low bid on the project, and Engineering can speak to it more, but
they are a contractor that’s worked in our community many times and we have not had this issue. So,
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 10 of 22
unfortunately, if you can think in your mind having a bad day, that roller operator had a bad day, and they did
strike the edge of that curb; that curb replacement really is important to ensure that we get the sealing of the
asphalt to the actual edge of the curb so we don’t get penetration of water there. So, that is actually extremely
important to us, and so that’s why we did hold the contractor to that standard. I’m sorry, mayor, you can tell that
my engineering side of me just wants to go through a lot of the engineering, so I will stop talking about engineering
and go back to some other items.
The first resident indicated the challenge regarding paying this assessment. Council, I know when you look at a
$6,000 assessment, I know that gives you pause, right? That is a large number, and especially when you look at a
full curb replacement that is a hefty assessment. I know that you’re all looking at it with pause, and that any
decision tonight you would make, you don’t make lightly, because that is a burden that our residents have to pay.
But as we go through, for consistency with our policy with 45% assessment to the residents, I would caution you
that consistency is extremely important; as Ryan says, we have assessed projects since 1996.
In regards to delaying, there’s a few challenges: First of all, you know that you have set your Preliminary Levy for
2025. You cannot go higher on that levy, you are now capped. When you adopt your Final Levy, you can always go
down but you cannot go up. In that levy, you already took into account what the debt issuance would be for this
pavement management. So, the total project cost has already been paid out to the contractor, we’ve already made
those payments, we have debt issuance. That’s like, for the residents, that’s like paying our mortgage; so, we still
have to pay that next year. So, if we delay, there’s that issue financially of how you make up that difference to
make that mortgage or debt payment. One thing that I would indicate is 7 months isn’t a lot, right, for residents to
be able to save up; we did notify them in March of what the proposed assessment would be. So, I can recognize 7
months to save $6,000 can be challenging. I would encourage residents, this does not go on your taxes until May
2025, which is the first time you see it; you are able to make a full payment. So, let’s say on year 3 you have saved
up the money to pay it in full off of your taxes, you can pay it in full at that time without additional interest being
accumulated. So, you’re not locked in it for 15 years on that, so if you would like to save the money on the interest,
you can pay it off early in full, or you can also make that minimum payment of $500 to reduce it. So, those are
some options for residents in regards to the assessment. But, Council, I know you’re feeling it as you look at these
numbers, those are big numbers, and so I just wanted to remind you of the financial obligation that we have as a
City to pay our debt service, but then also just to remind residents different options of how you can financially
bear that burden.
Administrator Levitt stated I think at this point I will turn it over to the attorney to talk about the special benefit,
and then we’ll go over to Engineering, and they can talk more about the specifics that we heard.
Attorney Aaron Price stated with regard to the special benefit, as has been mentioned before, it’s measured by the
increase in market value to the property as a result of the project itself. With regard to the appeal of that amount,
that would actually be a fact issue, then, in District Court, where we would bring in our appraiser and establish that
special benefit number of $7,500; then, correspondingly, the individual challenge in that amount would present
their kind of benefit appraisal to establish, obviously, a number below that number. So, with regard to the
appellate process and the special benefit, that’s kind of how that would work out. Again, with regard to the special
benefit, it is that analysis of the increased market value to the property.
Mayor Bailey said maybe one other thing, there was a comment regarding the constitutionality of it; do you
want to speak on that, on assessments?
Attorney Price replied the authority to impose a special assessment for street improvement projects or
improvement projects does flow from the Minnesota Constitution where the legislature has been granted the
authority to authorize local municipalities to levy and collect special assessments for local improvement projects.
That authority is then codified under Statute 429.021, which authorizes the City to engage in street improvement
projects through construction, deconstruction, or maintenance of pavement, gutters, sidewalks, things of that
nature. The authority also flows from case law established through the District and Appellate Courts that have
recognized that authority under Section 429 to impose special assessments for, again, local street improvement
projects under that statutory authority.
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024

Director Burfeind stated I’ll try to cover all the remaining questions that were more project specific, engineering
related. I tried to take good notes throughout, I do apologize if I missed something, but I think I should be able to
cover them in full.
One thing with the curb change, the color, so after the curb was placed and there was a new curb that was
placed slightly later with a curing compound we have to put on it, that’s kind of white in color; certainly, when
some curb was placed several months later, it had a brighter look. That is something that fades together over time.
Actually, on other projects when we do like a spot-curb replacement, that’s where you actually have a more long-
term difference because you have curb that might have been 20 years old and now we have new curb with that
curing compound. Here, it has all been placed this year, so it is something we expect to fade together, no different
than a new development that kind of has curb placed in different ways and with driveways going in and out. So,
that is pretty typical of a new curb section. I know it is visible today, there’s no question, and with that visibility,
you can see where some of the new curb was. I gave a percentage as a general overall, I think there was reference
to some streets did not have as much curb damage; certainly, Jenner Avenue had probably the most of that
additional curb damage, unfortunately.
Some concerns about the warranty, you know, what’s the longevity? Certainly, as a City, with the contractor we
have a two-year warranty. Obviously we don’t have, per se, warranties on curb going forward, but really I want to
address this very specifically. When we had to cut out that curb and patch it, that is actually very typical of a new
road section. Any new development that we do in our town, they do the base course first, they do the curb and
gutter, they place the wedge. After three years of homes being built, developers have to go and replace all the
damaged curb, which can range from 5%-to-30%, and they do the patch under that base course. Patches in a wear
course is a different story; we don’t have that, right? We have a patch underneath that wear course, and the wear
course seals it up. It’s no different than actually all the manholes, all the gate cells, all the structures, which is part
of the construction process where we actually have to cut them out, raise them to get ready for wear course
patching. So, even without curb damage there would be those patches underneath the road, but that’s really need
to be, it’s very standard, and any new road built today does have those. What would be a concern is if we had left
the damaged curb; if we had left the damaged curb that had all that damage and the chunks taken out of it, and
we tried to pave against that, it would not seal properly, and then water would infiltrate and that pavement would
blow out. So, actually, when you think about longevity, if we had left the damaged curb, that would have created
definitely a longevity issue.
Parking issues were talked about and all the equipment. I will say with this project, due to the size, due to being
right on 80th Street, we couldn’t have what we call a boneyard. Sometimes we’ll have a project with maybe like an
old park area we’re redoing, and then they can store more materials there, they can put their equipment there. It
would not be typical to make the equipment move, that would drive the project price up significantly as hauling in
equipment is a major cost, mobilization, so that equipment really needs to stay on site during the project. If they
had to have a separate truck driver bring that every day from Public Works to do the work, you would see greatly-
increased costs. Unfortunately, here, we just didn’t have a space to have what we call that boneyard to park things
off the road.
There was also a mention of the streetlights; that’s something I would be happy to talk to Dan about,
separately. Council is well aware we actually had some theft of our streetlight wires, not as much as other
communities, but that’s an issue. We want good access to that splicing box; but with that, others have accessed it,
too. So, I think it’s something the industry’s thinking about, I don’t think we have the answer for it yet, but
certainly I’d be happy to talk more about it.
Director Burfeind said there was talk about all the flooding in the roadway with that heavy rain this summer.
That was not something we changed with the road, that is inland protection. So, the State mandates us to put in
what we call inland protection, the catch basins, to keep sediment, gravel, and such, everything from getting into
the storm sewer during construction. It’s kind of like a bag that goes underneath, and there’s a big kind of thing on
the backside, and while that’s a mandate, it greatly reduces the capacity of those catch basins, there’s no question,
but we are required to put that in. Unfortunately, the water just can’t get in like it normally does. That should be
removed now, it’s removed when the project is done. There may still be some in, but that’s something that would
be fully removed before winter and then you would not have that issue again. So, that flooding issue would not
occur in the future, we made no changes to the storm sewer; I should preface that, there’s always massive rain
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 12 of 22
events, right? Storm sewers, even when they’re fully designed and operational, can operate at a ten-year rain
event, so I shouldn’t say never; if we get a 100-year rain event, there’s areas around town where we do get
flooding for a period of a few minutes while the water goes away.
The other issue was just that discussion, more residents had the concern about longevity, I think I addressed
that. Having that patch underneath the wear course is very typical, and there would be no concern for longevity of
the roadway.
In terms of communication, that was another thing that we discussed. With all the changes, that certainly could
be better. I can say there was a specific concern about the second round of that curb and residents were maybe
not given notice that they could drive on it again. We have a very set process with that curb; I mean, it’s done now,
but I can certainly say we’ll discuss that with our project team to see what happened. There’s nothing I can do
tonight to kind of rectify that situation, but we will definitely address it because that’s not something we want
happening. We want good communication throughout the project, even when we’re reworking it.
Director Burfeind said with that, I think that answers all the questions, but if the Council has more for me, I’m
happy to answer them.
Mayor Bailey said I have one question I’m sure you can answer. We kind of put together, obviously, this pavement
management program so when a road gets, whether its completely redone with the road and the curb or a spot
curb, whatever, can you speak a little bit towards what we’re doing now, as it relates to the future of these roads.
Director Burfeind replied through the history of Cottage Grove and many metro cities, we would do what was
called chip sealing; folks in the room probably saw that over the years where when a road’s new and every seven
years we’d chip seal it, that was kind of our ongoing minor maintenance, as we call it, in our plan. Unfortunately,
there have been changes in the asphalt over time, I won’t get into it, that’s a State of Minnesota thing, who really
guides that. We saw the chip seal was not being as effective for the long term, so we made a switch and are
actually doing Mill & Overlays. With those Mill & Overlays that we do, now going forward we’ve created a funding
plan for that so we can kind of do that on a 15-to-18-year cycle, so residents would see that at that time. We’re
looking to increase that life expectancy, and these roads were 30-to-34-years old, and we’re really looking to hit
closer to that 40-year mark in the long term. Because this development does have new curbs in it now, we would
incorporate that into our Mill & Overlay program. When we do a development or a neighborhood with spot-curb
replacement, it’s really not conducive to do a Mill & Overlay because that curb is going to have to be replaced too
soon. But because they do have all new curb, we would incorporate that into that program. Like I said, we’re really
looking to do that Mill & Overlay at 15-to-20-year and then ultimately get 40 years of life out of our pavement
sections.
Mayor Bailey said but just so I’m clear and make sure I’m not going to say this incorrectly, but when we do
those, that’s not another direct assessment to the homeowners, correct?
Director Burfeind replied that’s correct, Mayor and Council, we do not assess for our Mill & Overlays. Mayor
Bailey said that’s paid for by us, well, the citizens pay for it, but it’s everybody.
Mayor Bailey asked if Council had any questions.
Council Member Olsen thanked Ryan for the explanation and thank you as well to Jennifer and to the City
Attorney for going through 429 and explaining how that works, statutorily. There was mention of did the City do its
homework on the contractor? And I know you know that every time we enter into an agreement to do one of
these projects, one of the questions you get asked, typically by me, is have we used this contractor before, do we
know if they’re any good? In fact, I don’t even have to ask anymore because you just tell us. So, this is a contractor
we’ve used before, right?
Director Burfeind replied correct, yeah.
Council Member Olsen said clearly, we haven’t had issues in the past to this degree, otherwise we would’ve
blacklisted him, we wouldn’t have taken it. It was the low bid, and we’re actually required to take the low bid, so
the good news is it’s a contractor we’ve used before, low bidder, so everything should be moving in the right
direction. And here we have all these issues with communication and some of the execution of the work. So, what
I’m curious about is when we do these projects, we always have an on site project manager; did this project
manager adequately oversee this project? Were there periodic check-ins to make sure that things were going well?
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 13 of 22
And then, moreover, if we had these various communication issues, was that the responsibility of the construction
team and their project manager, or how should that have all worked?
Director Burfeind replied very good questions, Council Member Olsen, so we do have a project manager
inspector that we hire directly through the City, not someone who works for the contractor. I think within their
power and information they’re given, they did their job on this project. I will say there were changes with the rain
delays and such, different things, but in terms of the real communication, the challenge is we physically can’t
control when that contractor decides to do something different. We’re working as good as we can with him to get
that information. One thing we do see with the wet summers, I will admit, is because we have sandy soils
underneath, there are times where Cottage Grove honestly dries out first; Woodbury is all clay and maybe can’t
work, and we do run into that situation where a contractor’s crew frees up and maybe that’s why they came on a
Friday. I don't know the specific situation of why that happened, it’s certainly not something we want to see, but it
is a contractor just trying to get their work done; but certainly when you’re dealing with resident impact, it’s very
important that we keep with that schedule. There’s a benefit if we can get at it earlier, but people aren’t prepared
for that, right, so, is that really a benefit? So, we can discuss that, but that’s not something they’re controlling
because they’re not actually directing the contractor’s work, they’re out there to inspect the work while they’re
doing it. So, definitely very good confidence in our project team and our inspector that we hired directly; I’ve
worked with him for many, many years and he’s very experienced. So, no specific concerns there.
Council Member Olsen said so, to follow up on that, some of the folks that spoke indicated that they had taken
money out of their own pockets to do sod. I know that one of the specs when we do these kinds of projects is the
contractor is supposed to leave any area that they’ve touched in a condition that is similar to before they touched
it, and a lot of times they’ll do hydroseeding and things like that. So, I’m sure that our on-site inspector is aware of
some of those challenges and discrepancies; will there be any activity in the spring to bring these properties back
up to snuff?
Director Burfeind replied that’s a good question. So, while we’re talking about the Assessment Hearing tonight,
that is not closing out a project. So, we hold what’s called retainers, we haven’t fully paid the contractor because
there’s work that they need to touch on; whether it’s the seeding, things are a little complicated with that sod
because typically if there’s no curb issue and a resident chooses to sod, we’re not going to work on that sod. But
because there was the additional curb damage, the contractor did that work to basically replace what residents
had paid for out of their own pockets, so we’re going to have to look at that as well. But definitely we’re holding
retainers, the contract is not closed out, and there is work again in the spring. That’s one thing I should’ve
mentioned, there was reference to how late in the year it was; we don’t close this out and say well, we seeded it,
we move on. We’ll be back and will continue to be back. Also, with the settlement, there was some reference to
maybe if the dirt wasn’t compacted properly to the right degree, maybe there’s some settlement; that’s another
thing that we would address. So, afterwards, me and the other project team members are definitely available to
keep speaking at this meeting if residents have specific concerns, addresses, things that we need to be looking at,
we will take those tonight to make sure they’re not getting lost.
Council Member Olsen said thank you, and I was just going to suggest that, even for folks who aren’t here, your
neighbors that weren’t able to be here tonight, if we have outstanding issues that have not been resolved, please
make sure to let Ryan and the team know so that we can get those resolved in the spring. I realize that you don’t
go through this all the time, but we do, and we hear many of the same concerns with regard to the condition of
the front yard, driveways, things of that nature. The response when we get that information, when these projects
are done, is always we need to make it right. And I think it was Duey, your speech resonated with me because
basically what you were saying is hey, look, it costs what it costs, but dude, it should be right, and that’s where I’m
at; for whatever we are looking at from an assessment perspective, I think the reasonable expectation on the part
of the resident and this is true of any resident, any time we do a pavement management project, is it should be
right. And you shouldn’t end up after the fact, going, man, this looks terrible, what did they do? How come this
isn’t right? Why is my driveway messed up? The City has a long history of working with contractors, using that
escrow money that we hold to ensure that in the spring, because things will change over the wintertime, the
ground will shift, things will change. So, in the spring any outstanding issues need to get taken care of for you so at
the end of the day, it costs what it costs but it’s right, that the value is there. And it doesn’t seem like that’s
necessarily the case in every situation here. So, I can tell you Ryan is very diligent and very technical when it comes
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 14 of 22
to making sure that the project is executed the way that it should be. And, again, we have blacklisted contractors
in the past. I’m glad to know this is a contractor we’ve used before, but something got messed up before the cake
got baked, so, the good news is it’s not fully baked yet.
Council Member Olsen said the last thing, Ryan, is testing. So, there was a comment about how long is it going
to last, right? I know you do extensive testing on road projects before we even order the project because some
roadways have a little bit longer lifespan, I know we do the thin overlays and things. How do we reassure the
residents that what they’re getting now is going to be a high-quality product that’s going to last into the future?
Because you’re right, nobody wants to get reassessed again in 15 years, no, that would be terrible, and it shouldn’t
work that way. So, can you speak to that a little?
Director Burfeind said when it comes to testing, which is done by a different third party, there’s a handful of
them in the metro that are very reputable firms that do this work; so, really, every step of the way is tested. We
have that Class 5 underneath, which we maybe have to supplement, we’re doing density testing on that, and we
want full compactions so things aren’t settling in the roadway. When it comes to the asphalt, it’s the same thing;
there are multiple different tests that we do on site. MnDOT actually also does bituminous plant inspections, so
they’re actually looking at it where its actually produced, and we do that for our road projects. I will say not all
cities actually do that for their residential road projects, sometimes they just do it where they’re mandated to do
it; we choose to do it for these projects to make sure we’re really looking at it where it’s actually being produced.
Concrete is the same way where we actually have all the testing with what’s the air count time, what’s the
strength? And in some of these processes we actually go above and beyond even like the State standards when it
comes to how we do the road. Density testing, we do things a little differently, where a lot of times they just cut
cores in the road when its done; first of all, you now have a core and a hole in your road that you’re patching, so
we do a different process with a nuclear density gauge, we’re actually looking at it throughout the paving process
to make sure they’re meeting density. So, that is something that we have a full program for.
Council Member Olsen said okay, thank you very much. I knew that you did a lot of that. I’m also aware that St.
Paul Park does fix their roads, they’re working on 3rd Street right now; so, they have the same issues we have with
benefit appraisals and all those kinds of things, and I know you do some work helping them out periodically. But I
certainly appreciate your responses to the questions. I hope the residents can count on that anything that isn’t
currently right we’re going to work hard to make right heading into either spring of next year or even if we get
another year like last year, maybe we’ll be working into November, who knows? Thank you.
Council Member Thiede said I guess this is more a financial question. I guess I’d like to know a little bit more
precisely, you know, what it would cost us to say defer the payment until after the holidays with no interest charge
during that time to the resident if you can do a calculation for me quick.
Administrator Levitt stated as Brenda is coming, I did some quick math because I suspected that might come up.
The first number that I will tell you is we anticipate approximately 30% of the payments to be made; so, that would
be about $166,000 that we’re anticipating that would be paid, so that’s helping us pay our debt issuances. So,
you’re going to lose that amount to make our first debt issuance payment. I’m sure Brenda is right now calculating
the other number that you asked for, but just to give you a flavor of the magnitude of the dollars that we’re talking
about.
Director Malinowski stated it’s approximately about $200,000.
Council Member Thiede said okay, and so what’s our ability to, if we consider that’s coming temporarily out of a
fund somewhere and then it gets replaced after the start of the year.
Administrator Levitt stated Mayor and members of the Council, I will tell you, you have set your Preliminary
Levy to include that debt issuance; so, the $200,000 that Brenda is referencing, you would need to make an
additional cut in your 2025 budget because you won’t be able to recover that payment of your debt issuance.
Council Member Thiede replied well, you’ll recover it after they actually then pay in January or after the
holidays.
Director Malinowski said you wouldn’t get that interest back.
Council Member Thiede said no, you’re not talking, that’s not the interest, right? You’re expecting.
Mayor Bailey said here’s the thing, though, and we’re going to still see if any Council has questions, and I’ll let
this gentleman come back up and ask his question. So, if you defer it this time, what about the next one?
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 15 of 22
Council Member Thiede replied well, this one is a special situation because it’s a lot later in the season, the issue is
it’s right before the holidays. Unless we looked at it, I think a lot of the others are a little earlier in the year and
such, right?
Director Malinowski replied no. I believe that we were substantially complete even earlier than we had
anticipated this year.
Mayor Bailey said no, it’s typically October is when we do these special assessments, when we’ve done these
road projects. So, all I’m saying is yes, there are some unfortunate things that happened in this particular project,
but in the grand scheme of things, I don't know that delaying the payment or whatever, the process, until January
is going to make any difference.
Council Member Thiede said well, we’ve never had anybody request it before.
Mayor Bailey said well, but us, it’s going to make a huge difference.
Council Member Thiede said well, I don't know, it doesn’t sound like it’s that huge because it’s the impact of
money and replacing it and so forth. We can talk, I don’t understand how it’s going to make that much difference if
it gets replaced and a certain amount gets deferred and so forth.
Council Member Khambata said Jennifer, you said that this would show up on the May 2025 tax statement, is that
correct?
Administrator Levitt replied that’s correct, that’s the first time they would see it because typically, we hold the
Assessment Hearings in October, we give them that 30 days to pay; as a City, we legally have to certify our
assessment rolls by the end of November to the County. That puts it on the assessment roll then in May, the first
time. So, if we miss that certification to the County, you miss, in essence, an entire year because you’re not going
to be certifying until later. That’s why that date is critical. So, just to let you know on how that certification works.
Council Member Khambata said then another question I have might be more for Myron, and I think Steve
Dennis, when he was on Council, he was also a member of the Pavement Management Task Force when the City
had made that initial shift. If I understand from previous conversations about pavement management, the reason
it was structured this way, with the 45% contribution, was to be more equitable, right? So, if we’re repaving 80th
Street or Jamaica Avenue, which is an arterial roadway, the City’s footing the whole cost for those projects because
it benefits everyone equally. But a better way to phrase this is the street that I live on, Eli shouldn’t have to pay for
my street with his taxes if he’s never going to drive on my street, and that was the argument for the way it was
split up between City and resident contributions. So, I think that’s sound reasoning. I mean, it’s a lot of money
when it comes your turn, but to say for the last 30 years every homeowner on Jenner Avenue was paying for
somebody else’s roadway that they’re never ever going to drive on, I could be frustrated about that as well if that
were the case.
Council Member Thiede said unfortunately, it was easy to start it, but it’s difficult to leave it because of, you
know, just the equity and the situation and well, these people had to pay for this, and now all of a sudden, these
people aren’t. So, I’m not questioning that at all, I was just looking at the holiday season and the request that was
made.
Council Member Khambata said this is tough work, that’s for sure, and I think, as Jennifer said, having a deadline
to get these assessments to the County in order to get them on the tax roll makes it challenging to defer. I think
the interest accrual part, you know, we just got done with budgeting, and I mean, we were talking about $50,000
items in our budget; so, to say that we’re okay incurring an unexpected interest charge of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, I think that’s a hard no for me.
Mayor Bailey stated I did not close the Public Hearing, so please, come on up.
Steve Gunderson, 7774 Jenner Avenue, asked who was the on-site manager from the City who was out there? I’m
retired, and I was out there almost every day, and I didn’t see a soul from the City. And then the other thing I
wanted to have checked is the reference to Nancy’s Lake in front of her house; I had the same silt kit, whatever it’s
called, that black thing in my storm sewer, right next to my house. They took it out, we had a little rain, and I still
have a puddle, okay? So, it’s not draining like it drained prior. So, I don't know if that’s a grade issue or whatever,
but I talked to that kid from Bolton & Menk, and he said that that was the issue, he thought that they were going
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 16 of 22
to get it right on the final grade. Now, I’m not an engineer, I don’t play one on TV, and I don’t know anything about
what you do, so that’s really what I wanted to ask about.
Council Member Olsen said can I ask you something, sir? And can Ryan chime in? So, you mentioned that in front
of your home and then Nancy’s, you had essentially standing water, right?
Mr. Gunderson replied yes, sir.
Council Member Olsen asked and is that, Ryan, because of the work we were doing on the storm sewers at that
time, or what exactly was that caused by? Or was it just a low spot?
Director Burfeind stated the big rain event and the water, that was from the inland protection. If there’s an
ongoing issue, we’ll definitely take the address, we can go out there, and we can take a look at it directly just to
make sure there’s no lingering issues that were causing not all the water to drain. We do want that water to drain
away. I think there was a reference to Lake Jenner, that was from the inland protection being in during the
construction.
Council Member Olsen said okay, all right, but we can go out there and look to make sure all the grading is right
and everything?
Director Burfeind replied yes. So, regarding Bolton & Menk, the way frankly cities are structured, you know, we
do not have staff that serve in that role, so we have consultants that we work with; they’ve been in the industry a
long time, have lots of experience, and frankly know more about even construction than anyone. So, those are the
folks that are the day-to-day inspectors, and they are out there while the work is occurring.
Mr. Gunderson said okay, just to clarify, the Bolton & Menk kid was out there, he was 25 years old, maybe; he
didn’t have a lot of experience.
Dan Schouveller, 7929 Jenner Avenue South, said I’m going to piggyback to Lake Jenner. The sewers on my side of
the street and on the other and 7909, which is John and Milissa Fortuna, we have had continuous drainage issues
for years. I’m hoping this solidifies it and clears it up, I’m not expecting it because we have it spring, we have it all
the time; it’s been an ongoing issue, and I’ve been in the house for 15 years, they’ve been in in for 10, and we see
it every year. So, I’m just saying this is not new.
Council Member Olsen asked did they fix catch basins and stuff during this project?
Director Burfeind replied so, we did do repairs to all the catch basins; there may be rings, there may have been
settlement. Certainly, curb sections, the first ones that settle over time are the ones by the catch basins, those are
the things that we’re fixing, and those are the issues we’re working to address with projects like this.
Council Member Olsen said so he should leave you some information?
Director Burfeind said yes, I think it’s something we can certainly look at come spring, but that is the type of
things we’re addressing. We’re not adding storm sewer, we’re not adding catch basins; when you get those huge
rain events, frankly, streets are going to get water in them. It’s just not practical in any street, in any city, to be able
to capture every single really large, like the August 29 rain event.
Council Member Olsen said but with the typical ones, you guys check all that, you take that opportunity to make
sure everything’s working properly.
Director Burfeind said we want everything to drain properly when we’re done, through the catch basins, so we
can look at that for sure.
Mayor Bailey said after we’re done with you, I’ll go ahead and close the Public Hearing so then Council can discuss,
so go ahead.
Eli Weinmann, 9498 79th Street, said thank you. So, a couple of counterpoints. First one, Council Member Tony, so,
in regards to your street, you don’t expect anyone else to pay for it, that’s one way to do it, but everything else,
there’s parks that I don’t use in Cottage Grove and I pay for them. I’ve never used the police force in Cottage
Grove, we all pay for it equally, we don’t expect that the only people that pay for police are the ones that have to
call them for something. So, it works to split it up. You could invite me over to your house, and I could visit you,
and I would use your street, it works. Last time we were here, Mayor, you brought up that the only time that you
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 17 of 22
saw a project be voted down they had to come back several years later and the cost was double, and you said that,
I think it’s the neighborhood you live in now, a lot of your neighbors were very upset by that. But why would they
be upset if they’re getting the same special benefit in return? Because say it cost $12,000, well, they got $12,000,
theoretically; we know it’s not actually working that way. So, my question is what happens to the special benefit
when the road degrades, what happens to it? I can’t answer it, so, it’s not there. There has to be a special benefit.
Mayor Bailey said well, and I think our attorney and our staff did say that legally, with special benefit appraisals
it’s showing that. Now, you may not agree with that, and that’s fine. I may not have agreed with the amount of
assessment that I got when my road was done in front of my house, but the reality is that’s what the price came
to, and it was actually more than this project that was in your neighborhood, back then when I did, and that was
many years ago. And yours was full curb, correct? The whole thing was full curb? Mine was too, back then, was full
curb and street, so.
Mr. Weinmann said just in terms of the project itself and just in the effort to maybe try to come to some
resolution on it, it isn’t so much the money issue as it is the principle of it. But I remember a couple of sessions
back, Council Member Khambata, you talked about it was the equivalent of doing a kitchen remodel, right? And I
kind of go back to what Duey talked about, like if you did a kitchen remodel, that improves the value of your home,
and therefore you’re experiencing the benefit of it. Well, what if you walked into your kitchen and the trim was all
different colors, and it wasn’t done to the standard that it was supposed to be done to and things don’t match and
they don’t work right? Yeah, they’re gonna come back and make it look right, and he’s telling us that the curbs are
going to fade over time, but we can at least agree that the special benefit is the aesthetics of a new road in front of
your house, correct?
Mayor Bailey replied I don't know that I would say that, it probably adds to it, personally speaking for me.
Council Member Olsen said there are several elements that go into the Special Benefit Appraisal.
Mr. Weinmann said right, other than the fact that there’s probably, oh, you have a new road, so you don’t have
to worry about a Special Benefit Assessment for 30 years, it’s a manufactured benefit. So, my point is the road
looks the way it looks now. So, we’re arguing even the special benefit isn’t realized unless we sell the property
right now, but you’re saying it doesn’t matter 30 years from now, it has a special benefit right now. It doesn’t
matter that the curbs may blend in after 15 years, they don’t blend right now. So, I would at least ask and implore
that there’s at least a revision to the estimate and to how much we’re paying for it because we definitely didn’t get
what we paid for. I don't know if that comes from the contractor or what, but at least I would request that there’s
a revision or a renewed estimate of the special benefit that is provided. Thank you.
Mayor Bailey closed the Public Hearing.
Mayor Bailey asked if there were any other questions Council has. I do want to add just a couple points of interest
because I think it’s somewhat relevant.
Every city makes a determination based on, in our case, the Pavement Management Task Force, and there was a
process prior to the Pavement Management Task Force, which I think you were on and you were on and I know a
few others that were, way back. The determination back then by that citizens group is here’s the better way of
doing it. I don’t recall what it was before then, I don't know if it was 50%-50%, 60%-40%, with 60% being the
homeowners, 40% being the City, I don’t recall. But they determined what that amount would be. I would tell you
that there are cities out there right now, in the Twin Cities, that put 100% of the assessment on their residents. I
don’t recall what St. Paul Park is, but it’s a lot higher than ours for their assessment process that they do. So, our
citizens kind of came back to the Council and staff, and this is before I even became mayor, with what the plan
was.
The other thing is obviously we’re not happy with what the contractor did or the lack of communication. I will
tell you there’s been other projects that we’ve had in our community, not specific to this particular contractor,
where we basically told them they can’t do business in our community anymore because of the quality of the work
that they did. We’ve also had situations where we required them to come back out, consistently, even above and
beyond the escrow, to take care of issues. I know, like even in my neighborhood, they did not do sod, they did
grass. Of course, when they did this grass, it was weeds, and I’m kind of like, I know one of you said your neighbor
has got like the pristine lawn, well, that’s me; and it bothered the heck out of me that the bottom part of my yard
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 18 of 22
wasn’t looking the same as the rest of my yard. And I did some of the same things some of you did, it sounds like,
so I do appreciate the fact that you’re all taking your property to heart because I did the same thing. I could’ve
waited for the contractor to come back out and spread some more grass seed, but I’m like I’m just going to do it,
I’m just going to get it done, I don’t want to wait. But I will say, whatever the issues are, we will address those.
We’ve had this conversation, sod vs. grass seed, over and over and over again. I suppose at some point we can talk
about this again, as a collective group. I’m personally a sod guy vs. throwing hydroseed out there, but again, that
does raise the cost because there will be a cost factor to that, which unfortunately ends up getting passed along to
the end user.
I mentioned this briefly earlier, but there used to be a situation where we used to charge for Mill & Overlays
and things like that; so, we would after a certain period of time come back into your neighborhood, do a Mill &
Overlay, and then charge you for it. Because in between that, we used to do this chip sealcoating program, and we
opted to not do that anymore; in doing that, the money that we were putting aside for that chip sealcoating, that
money now goes directly toward Mill & Overlay, meaning we’re not assessing homeowners. So, we’re trying to do,
from our standpoint, the best thing we can do in order to be fair to everybody.
The other last thing I’ll just mention real quick on being fair is at some point, every single street, not arterials,
but neighborhood streets are going to get done. So, whether it’s full-curb replacement, the street’s going to get
redone, and the process is very similar to the same. That’s one of the challenges and the comments that we’ve had
and talk about every year at budget is we have our staff go out and check roads and tell us can we get another year
or two out of this road before we don’t have to make it a complete reconstruct. We’ve tried to get up to that point
where it’s going to be okay and we don’t have to spend as much money. If we don’t have to spend as much
money, that obviously means homeowners don’t. So, we’re very cognizant of that, I know I am, to make sure that
we’re careful, but I also believe that our program is solid. I know there are some people out here that have some
concerns about the benefit appraisal, and every one of you have the ability to contest it, like we got a couple
letters, and if that’s the direction you want to go from a legal standpoint, that’s absolutely everyone’s right, that’s
what’s there. So, I just, for me, from my point, yes, there was some stuff that maybe didn’t happen the way we
would like it to happen, and I would be a little upset if I were in your neighborhood, too, with some of the things
that were happening in your area; hopefully, some of that stuff we’re going to react to and we’ll kind of watch, I
guess, to the future with this contractor, if he bids for other projects in our community in the future. But I think the
project is what the project is, and I think this is the right thing to do is to move forward.
Council Member Khambata said I’m really disheartened and frustrated at the experience that these people had
with this project. I know that a lot of the aspects, a lot of the challenges that they faced, are things that were
outside of our control. But I am hopeful because of the fact that we withhold a portion of that payment, and in the
past that’s been a good mechanism to make sure that when challenges come up, that they get remedied and that
they get remedied in the shortest amount of time possible. So, I know that staff is going to make sure that they’re
holding the contractor accountable for these issues and that these will get done. I would like, for whatever it’s
worth, my 20%, for staff to pay special attention to make sure that this stuff gets resolved right the second time
with this contractor. Again, you know, they go in to fix something and they end up causing irrigation and sod
damage; so, like from the customer experience, unfortunately, I think the people that are there doing the road are
not thinking of it in a customer-service mindset. Like, hey, I have to be accountable to this homeowner for this
project, the way somebody who would maybe go in and do a kitchen remodel would, right? They don’t, they
maybe weren’t engaging directly with the constituents the way we do. So, I look at it from a customer-service
perspective where like they didn’t get the level of service that I would expect for me or for you or for anybody else
in the room. So, I think that’s where we didn’t have control of what happened initially, we didn’t have control of
the weather, those were all things that were outside of our control as a City. But what is within our control is using
that mechanism that’s built into the contract, withholding those funds, to make sure that these things do get
addressed and they get taken care of properly. So, I just want to make sure that they know that I am resolved, and
I know staff is resolved, to make sure that these things get addressed properly.

Mayor Bailey said so before you leave, if there is anything that you need to bring up, and even after today, like I
think Council Member Olsen mentioned, if there’s an issue maybe that you heard from a neighbor or something
like that, I don’t live too far from you guys. So you know I can and I’ll say a family member lives in your
neighborhood, so I’m over there periodically. So, I mean, if there is something you want me to see or staff to see,
I’ll be more than happy to do that because I don’t want you to have to deal with something, like if it was flooding
before and that doesn’t fix the issue, then we need to fix it, okay? Thank you, and I’ll leave it for staff then.
C. Oltman Middle School - Easement Vacation(s), Drainage and Utility Easement, Access Easement
Staff Recommendation: 1) Hold the Public Hearing regarding vacating, rescinding, terminating, and
releasing a permanent easement and temporary easement for watermain for Lot 1, Block 1, New
Oltman Middle School, and permanent easements for storm sewer for Lot 1, Block 1, New Oltman
Middle School. 2) Adopt Resolution 2024-145 rescinding the July 17, 2024, City Council actions related
to Oltman Middle School. 3) Adopt Resolution 2024-146 vacating, rescinding, terminating, and
releasing a permanent easement and temporary easement for watermain for Lot 1, Block 1, New
Oltman Middle School. 4) Approve the Permanent Access Easement for Lot 1, Block 1, New Oltman
Middle School. 5) Adopt Resolution 2024-147 vacating, rescinding, terminating, and releasing
permanent easements for storm sewer on Lot 2, Block 1, New Oltman Middle School. 6) Approve the
Permanent Easement for Storm Sewer over a portion of Lot 2, Block 1, New Oltman Middle School.
Associate Planner Jakes stated there are two easement vacations before you this evening; one is related to the
private watermain and one is related to the storm sewer on the Oltman Middle School campus. As Council is
aware, the School District is currently working through an administrative review approval for two building
additions: One on the western part of the building for the cafeteria, and one on the south side of the building for a
classroom addition. As part of all Site Plan applications, staff conducts a thorough review of the entire site, both
existing easements and infrastructure to ensure that the easements are effective and providing what is necessary.
The two easements before you this evening were found to need changes, which is why the item is before you.
The first easement we’ll discuss is the Drainage and Utility Easement overlying the private watermain that loops
around Oltman Middle School. Given the watermain is private, the City does not conduct maintenance of that
watermain itself; however, the City does conduct routine maintenance related to the hydrants on site. So, each of
the outdents shown along the blue area signifies a hydrant. The reason for these in the first place is for the City to
conduct that maintenance; however, after review of the easement language, it wasn’t necessarily clear that the
City was only conducting and accessing that easement area for hydrant maintenance. As a result, the proposed
vacation is before you and proposed to replace that existing easement is an access easement that would overlay
the entire parcel. In that easement language, staff worked with the City Attorney and School District to be sure
that it’s solely for the hydrant maintenance.
The second easement vacation before you this evening is related to the storm sewer on the western part of the
Oltman campus, as signified in red on the screen before you. On the western part, there is a constructed
stormwater pipe, as signified in green on the screen; the red signifies the existing easement locations. As you can
see, the easement locations do not sufficiently cover the constructed pipe, as that was constructed in an incorrect
location; however, it was field verified that it’s operating correctly so there are no issues there. Staff is proposing
to vacate the easements on site and replace that with one new easement that sufficiently covers the pipe, allows
us to conduct our long-term maintenance of that pipe, and access the allowed area and have sufficient space to do
so.
The recommendations are on the screen before you. I will note that all easement vacations require a Public
Hearing, which is the first recommend on the screen. The second and third recommendations are to rescind the
July approvals and vacate that watermain easement, and the fourth recommendation is to approve the access
easement that overlays that entire parcel, solely for hydrant access. The fifth recommendation is to vacate that
storm sewer easement, and the sixth, and final, recommendation is to approve the new storm sewer easement.
With that, staff is available for any questions. Mayor Bailey asked Council if there were any questions for
Connor, but there were none.

12. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Council Member Olsen stated first, I want to make sure that everybody out there who’s watching this knows early
voting is now available at the Washington County South Service Center, which is on the same campus as City Hall.
If you are interested in taking advantage of that opportunity, they are currently open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. You can vote absentee, in person, or by mail, and I believe next week you’ll also be able to
go in on Saturday, starting next week. But early voting is now available. I want to encourage everybody in our
community to maintain the sense of pride that we have as a State, here in Minnesota, with the highest voter
turnout of any state in the nation, typically, during each election. It would be great to have all eligible voters be
able to actually get out and cast their ballot, it’s important, and your voice matters, so please do that.
Council Member Olsen said I just want to compliment the organizers for last week’s Cottage Grove Fire
Department Open House. It was extremely well attended, lots of young families that I saw there, tons of stuff for
people to do. We even had a number of our alumni firefighters on hand to be able to help with the Open House,
which I thought was really special, and I could tell they were having a lot of fun. So, kudos to Chief Pritchard,
Deputy Chief Arrigoni, I know Mike Dandl always has a hand in those things, and anybody else who may have had
their fingers in getting that organized and put together. I think it was a hit with the residents and certainly was
something to be proud of.
Council Member Thiede said one thing I’ll just mention, with Halloween coming up, go get your costumes and
everything; fortunately, I don’t have to put a costume on, I still scare people. So, a week from Saturday, October
26, is the Monster Bash parade; it starts at 10 o'clock and it runs from the School Administration Center down to
Applebee’s, and it’s a great time. So, grab the kiddos and get on out there.
City Council Meeting
October 16, 2024
Page 21 of 22
Council Member Garza said I’m going to jump on the bandwagon for Halloween celebrations. It looks like we’re
going to have a really cool Skating Spooktacular up at the Ice Arena, that will be on October 30, and that should be
a lot of fun. That will be following our Monster Bash parade. And then we’ll have our Pumpkin Chuck on November
1, and that’s a lot of fun. So bring your families, come out, and throw those pumpkins and watch them roll down
the hill or from way high in the fire truck’s ladders. It’s a lot of fun, so if you have some time, come on out and
have fun with us.
Mayor Bailey stated this past Monday, we had the opportunity for two things: 1) We did a trail dedication to Katie
and Conway Olson, down at Hamlet Park, which was a very nice event, well attended by the family. Katie wasn’t
able to be there because she was sick, but her kids were all there, along with many of our staff; a couple of us from
the Council, Council Member Garza joined us with her daughter, and a lot what I’ll call former elected officials from
the area that were able to be there, just to acknowledge the amount of love that Katie and Conway Olson had for
our community and the amount of time and effort that they gave back. As a matter of fact, while I was there,
saying what I know about Katie and Conway Olson, it was interesting to hear other stories of things that were even
before my time, about the fact that Conway Olson was one of the instrumental people to prevent Cottage Grove
from being called Washington, instead of the City of Cottage Grove. By the way, Washington would have been
both Woodbury and Cottage Grove together, as one city, so I thought that was kind of interesting. Your name
came up a lot, Conner, about how excited they were about how much data they were going to give to you, so I
figured you might enjoy that, but that was really cool. 2) Shortly thereafter, we did an open house at Hamlet Park,
just to talk about the Preserve.Play.Prosper program, which of course is the Local Option Sales Tax that we’re
looking to provide for three park amenities. Other than that event that we had, being able to share information
with the public, this coming Monday, October 21, at 12 noon, Zac Dockter, Parks & Recreation Director, and myself
are going to be doing a Facebook Live event. We’re going to be answering questions that have been asked about
different things, why is it this, why are you doing that, what does this mean, what if it doesn’t pass, and that kind
of stuff. But it’s also going to be an opportunity for the public, who are going to tune in to check it out, to ask
questions, and we’ll answer them live. So, we’ll kick it off with some of the general questions that people have
been asking us over the last few months about this program, and then if there are other questions or maybe we
don’t quite answer it right, we’re going to take comments that come in, and they’ll be provided to Zac and I. Again,
that will be this coming Monday, at 12 noon. I’m not going to say it’ll be an hour because some Facebook events
last like 15 minutes or a half hour, but if people are interested and they’re asking questions, we’re going to be
there. We want to make sure that our voters are very informed in their decisions.
Mayor Bailey said then I’ll just throw out there, because you were just talking about holiday events, we have
Locally Grown Theatre, who is actually going to be out here at City Hall on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, doing
Frankenstein Monster as a play. It is free to the public, so I encourage you to stop out and check that out because
we have a lot of things going on; we have the Monster Bash parade, as mentioned, we have Pumpkin Chuck, we’ve
got Skating Spooktacular, and the Haunted Experience down at Zywiec’s, which is going on in the community.
Mayor Bailey said and then I get to finally say yes, we’re getting into the Christmas holiday season. The Holiday
Train has announced that they will be once again coming to Cottage Grove on Wednesday, December 11, at 5:15
p.m. They’re very excited, the gentleman that I speak with through CP Rail is, as a matter of fact, going to make a
special trip down here with his kids to attend our event, which is the largest in the U.S., so I wanted to throw that
out there.
But even before that, I want to mention on Thursday, December 5, at 4:30 p.m., here at City Hall is our second
annual Hometown Holiday Celebration. We’ve done other things with tree lightings in the past, but we really kind
of made this thing a bigger event within our community.
So, I encourage everybody to put those two dates specifically on your calendar, Thursday, December 5, the
Hometown Holiday Celebration here at City Hall, and Wednesday, December 11, for the arrival of the Canadian
Pacific Kansas City Holiday Train, down along Highway 61 and West Point Douglas Road.

7. PRESENTATIONS
A. CONSTRUCTION UPDATES
Public Works Director Ryan Burfeind stated every year in the summer, I like to give an update on a lot of our current construction
projects and let you know how they’re going. I’ll also touch on some of our big ones that are upcoming and the progress that
we’re making on those. I’ll speak about a lot of our road projects first, then I’ll move into our Water Treatment Plant projects
towards the end.
East Point Douglas & Jamaica Avenue: This is our big two-year project. I’ve got two screens here showing all the areas of work;
obviously, the main Jamaica Avenue and East Point Douglas intersection we completed last year. You can see the roundabout in
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 2 of 14
pink, that was our first phase we started this year, and that went really well. Even with all the rain, they were able to get that
done actually a little bit early and got that open before July 4. Then they moved into Phase 4, that’s the area behind Target,
where due to the road conditions and how old it was it needed to be total reconstruction. The challenge with that was the
corridor is narrow enough that there’s no way to legally have two lanes of traffic with the construction going on. The one-way
traffic flow was better than it was when the roundabout was being worked on, but it was still a little confusing. They’re actually
wrapping up the first phase of that one-way traffic, and towards the end of this month, they’ll be switching to the second phase
and building the other half of East Point Douglas Road. At the same time they’re going to be working on a Mill and Overlay of
East Point Douglas Road, in the blue; that section’s just not as old, the curb’s in a lot better shape overall. The Mill and Overlay
will kind of be in front of Menards and down to the townhomes there, so that will wrap up sometime in September, and then
the project will be complete. So, we’re all very excited for that.
Vice Chair Kath asked Director Burfeind, I noticed they also took all of the lights down along there, are they replacing them
with new ones?
Director Burfeind replied yes, that’s a good question. They’re updating to kind of a new standard we have of an overhead, I
call it kind of a Cobra-head style, a little more decorative style light that you see around the East Point Douglas and Jamaica
intersection. It will actually match what’s on 80th Street, between Keats and Jamaica.
South District Street & Utility Project: The area highlighted in blue is the actual project that’s happening this year. You can see
other roads, labeled 100th Street and Ideal Avenue, those were done the previous two years; 105th Street is a new road you can
see towards the bottom of the screen, that was also complete two years ago. With the South District Street & Utility
Improvements, the main X, where 103rd, Hadley, and 100th all realign, that’s following the County’s Southwest Arterial Study. I
maybe talked about that some in the past where 100th Street is a City street right now, but long term that’s going to be turned
over to Washington County. They don’t have any County roads in the southern part of Cottage Grove, and they want to have a
County Road that serves this area and meets all the County higher-volume standards as this area develops. That will also provide
access down to Grey Cloud Island, which is in the future guided as a County Regional Park. During this big X area realignment, it’s
tough with the road closures, but it’s really important from a traffic flow standpoint. All the right angles and stop signs are not
conducive to a County Road, so it’s been kind of a challenge this summer. Right now, for example, Hadley is closed north of 100th
Street. In the next couple of weeks, they have to make that tie in of the new 100th to the old 100th, so actually that will be closed
with a detour down on 105th. So, there are a lot of detours, a lot of challenges, but we appreciate everyone kind of living through
it this summer as we do the best we can. With some of these closures, it just lets the work be done so much faster. We looked
at trying to do more bypass lanes, and you spend a lot of money on those and it can drag the project out almost longer than the
full construction season. So, we felt some of these detours and closures were the better way to do that project.
There’s also a lot of development happening down here: This is where the NorthPoint development is; there’s a new
development, Graymont Village. Kind of right along that X where it says ‘Proposed 100th Street’, that’s where a new apartment,
Norhart, was approved. So, a lot of new development that will use these new roadways.
Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT) Intersection Improvement: Another smaller one that’s a good safety improvement down at
River Oaks, that I think I touched on briefly last year. This will start construction very soon. It’s a City-led project, mostly funded
by MnDOT, though, through several grants that we were able to get from them. To orient yourself, on the north side is River
Oaks, and the bottom right is Zywiec’s Garden Center. Right now, there’s a median that has the full access, and this is what some
people call a J-turn; you see a lot of them on Highway 52. This is a lot more compact; sometimes on Highway 52, those U-turns
are pretty far removed, ¼ mile or more, but these are fairly close to the current intersection. What it does is it prevents that full
cross-through movement, but you still have the U-turns on either end, so people can make the motions they need to make to go
north or south. It doesn’t necessarily increase the capacity, it doesn’t make gaps for folks on Highway 61, but it eliminates those
right-angle movements and right-angle crashes, which are by far the most severe type of crashes that can happen at these high
speeds. It removes those and yes, you’re pulling out into traffic, but you’re going with the traffic. If someone were to make an
error in that judgment, it’s more of a rear-end crash if there is an accident, it’s much less severe pretty much across the board.
It really can help in some ways improve flow getting out; if you leave River Oaks after a big event, everyone wants to wait to take
a left, so it just backs up. With this, you can’t take a left, so people are really forced just to take that right and make the U-turn;
you can actually see that traffic start to flow a little better as well, so, that’s a major improvement.
Commissioner Nate Lotts asked that exit coming out of the golf course there, are you going to have curbing put in, just to
separate the inbound and outbound, so it will kind of coax them to the right?
Director Burfeind replied it’s actually going to be more striping, but right at the X on there, that’s where that median is being
filled in; so, it will actually be a continuous grass median. I think that’s what they’re looking at is more of that type of situation.
Commissioner Lotts stated sweet, this is a gamechanger for that intersection.
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 3 of 14
Director Burfeind stated yes, it’s really good. We’re happy that MnDOT was supportive, we were able to get the grant. Just due
to things out of our control, it was going to be more expensive, and then MnDOT actually awarded an additional $300K; so, it’s
about $1M in grant funding for this project. So, we’re very excited about that.
2024 Pavement Management: A smaller project but still always important is our 2024 Pavement Management. These are our
neighborhood reconstructs that we like to do every year; this is in the Prestige Estates neighborhood, north side of 80th Street,
between Jamaica and Keats. Total reconstruct, new curb, new pavement, moving along pretty well. The curb is complete and
half the paving was done, and they were doing additional paving today. So, we’re looking to wrap that up probably sometime in
early August.
I should mention Jamaica Avenue is a Mill and Overlay that’s currently happening. Traffic has been flipped to the other side;
if everything goes well with the weather, we’re hoping to also have that complete by the end of July, early August. That will be a
nice improvement in the condition of that road, as rutting is very bad on that to the point where we had a hard time even plowing
it in the winter, as a lot of snow got left behind in those ruts. So, we’re very happy to have that project done.
County Road 19A and 100th Street Realignment: This is a major project we’re working on with the County, it’s about a $47M
project; to date, we’ve received $14M in grant funds for it, and we have requests in for an additional $21M-$22M through the
Federal government. There’s about $11M between the County and City CIPs. So, we’re really looking for that final $21M-$22M
in grant funding to round out this project. We could start construction in 2026, there’s probably some that we want to do and
money we’d like to expend that year, into 2027, and potentially wrapping up in 2028. So, it is a two-year plus project, it’s very
large. This is that whole realignment of 100th Street to go directly from the Jamaica Avenue and 100th intersection right over to
the interchange of Highway 61 and County Road 19, in that direction. So, everything in purple, if you’re wondering what that
color is there, that’s 3M land; we’re working with them on that, and they could either develop it themselves or actually sell for
development with the construction of these roadways. So, that’s the purple areas are that are highlighted. With this, we’re
slightly realigning Miller Road and County Road 19. Also, on the top there, that road coming in is an extension of the West Point
Douglas frontage road. So, that comes out of the Jamaica roundabout right now and it kind of dead ends by Public Works; so,
that would actually continue down to 100th Street.
Real quickly, I want to just show that we actually created an animation that helps visualize this; we were able to take the
County’s design profile and actually create an animation that shows what the roadway’s going to look like. So, I’ll play that on
the screen here. It kind of shows the project area, and then we kind of fly into the western extent of the project, so at the Jamaica
Avenue intersection. You can see the old 100th Street alignment, and here’s the new alignment, looking east with the new bridge
off in the distance. So, this is looking to support both new development and existing businesses in the area. The Jamaica Avenue
intersection/interchange has a lot of challenges, opens up over 500 acres of new land in the immediate area for development
with good access to the highway. This is part of the Mississippi River Trail Corridor, so we’ll have new, obviously separated trails
along this new roadway. Here’s the new road section, as you go east. You can see where Miller Road ties in here that’ll continue
to go down to 3M. But the biggest part of the project is this bridge over the railroad tracks, which also crosses a major gas line
and the Met Council sewer that serves the whole East Metro. So, a big bridge, just the construction alone is $10M. That’s a huge
safety improvement for this area to have that crossing be a new intersection with Innovation Road, and then we end at a
roundabout at the interchange. So, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish, it’s a huge project, always going for new grants as it’s
a big undertaking.
Chair Kons said that animation was very nice. Director Burfeind stated yes, and what’s really cool is with the actual profile, the
CAD profiles and Google with imagery, it’s like we didn’t have to fly a drone through anything. For what you get, it’s very simple
to create, so it’s amazing what you can do with technology. It helps show a lot more of what we’re doing. As much as an engineer,
I love the slow way, on the screen here that really gives life to the project.
Commissioner Lotts stated I was just getting ready to pull up Google Maps to figure out where that was, so that was key.
Director Burfeind stated we also did that because in dealing with the grants, we’re submitting for these grants with the Federal
government, we actually submit that animation as well, so it can help them see what we’re trying to accomplish.
3M Settlement Projects: Director Burfeind stated shifting gears real quick, as I wrap up, I’ll talk about some of our water projects.
There’s a lot going on in this picture here, but really all I want to highlight is we have a whole bunch of interim treatment plants
that continue to provide the City with water that meets all of the health-based values, all of the new EPA values that came out
this year. We have two additional ones, you can see some pictures on the side, those kind of metal buildings are the two
additional ones that we’ve recently constructed. Those two red boxes, the one that’s kind of on the southern part of the screen
that says LZWTP; that’s a Low Zone Water Treatment Plant, that’s a permanent treatment plant that’s under construction right
now and we’ll complete next year. There’s another one up by the Central Fire Station that I’ll talk about; that’s our second
permanent Water Treatment Plant. Also, down by the Low Zone Water Treatment Plant, which is right by the intersection of
110th Street and Ideal, we have a new office building for part of our Public Works staff being constructed next to it.
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 4 of 14
So, first, with those two interim Water Treatment Plants, they’re continuing to serve our City with fully-treated water, just on a
much more cost-effective structure. The actual treatment on the inside matches exactly what we would do in a permanent
facility, and we’re actually going to move these vessels into our permanent Water Treatment Plant so we’re not wasting them.
It’s all funded by the State and through 3M, but we want to be very good with those dollars; it’s still public money so we need to
be very cost conscious. These are Well 9 and Well 11, and these just actually became operational in May. If you’ve gone to the
archery range behind the Central Fire Station, there’s that little road that snakes down, and Well 9 is right along that road. Well
11 is right across the parking lot from the Splash Pad, so if you see that metal building, that’s what that is. This is a new technology
for Minnesota, ion exchange; so, it’s the first time ion exchange has been used for PFAS treatment in the State of Minnesota. We
actually did a big pilot study three years ago, funded by the 3M Settlement, to prove this technology; this building is about half
the cost as if we would have had to have done a GAC treatment plant like we had been doing in this temporary scale. We’re very
excited to have that up and running, and it’s working very well for our City.
The Low Zone Treatment Plant is the first of our permanent treatment plants. You can see some construction photos here
from over the winter. There was obviously no snow over the winter, so we were able to keep building it right through that season,
so that worked out well. The bottom image is just a rendering of what it’s going to look like when it’s complete; that will be
operational in May 2025, so less than a year from now.
Right next to it is that new office building, so this is for our Utility and Engineering Divisions of Public Works. This has been in
the works, separately, for a while because we are completely out of space at our facility, and this was the most practical way to
relocate some of the divisions because it will be right by that treatment plant, so it will work really well with the Utility Division.
The Engineering Division just works a lot with them, so that was another easier division to move, actually outside of City Hall,
and that freed up space at City Hall. On the bottom is a rendering, and on the top is a picture I took last week, so it’s kind of that
same view and how it’s coming together. We’re very excited to get that building open and operational over the winter. In the
future, we would move all of Public Works and Parks there; this was built to expand to accommodate the whole department
over time.
Lastly, that Intermediate Zone Water Treatment Plant, this is our second of two permanent treatment plants that will serve
our community. It’s going to go right behind the Central Fire Station, kind of north of those water towers. This is going to be a
very similar facility to what is being built down by 110th Street, just larger, because it is about 2.5 times the capacity for
treatment. This will serve everything kind of north and east of Highway 61. We’re doing our final design right now, we just got
all the grant funding from the State to do that, and we look to start construction next spring. That’ll be a full two-year build, so
it will be spring of 2027 when it would actually be completed. Here's just a rendering of what that one will look like. Obviously,
it’s more in a residential area so we’re trying to make it so its aesthetically pleasing; with this facility, we’re really trying to mimic
the Central Fire Station architecture. It’s a big building going into an area with homes, we’re very aware of that. So, we’re really
trying to focus the design to minimize that impact, with semis not having to back up, so we’ll have drive through for everything.
Any type of deliveries will be on far east side of the building, away from the homes. On a day-to-day basis, there’s maybe one or
two Public Works pickups that come and go; the semis for changeouts of the treatment media, this will be an ion exchange
treatment plant, like our new temporary ones, so that’s like once every six years. It’ll be a larger building, but it’s going to be very
quiet and hopefully a good neighbor for those homes there.
Director Burfeind stated that’s the last of my updates and asked if there were any questions, and none were asked.
B. 2024 ANNUAL USE OF FORCE PRESENTATION
Captain Brad Petersen stated thank you for giving me the time to talk about last year’s Annual Use of Force report. We’ve been
doing this for a handful of years, and typically this happens in the winter or spring season; we postponed this presentation so
that we could tackle the Police and Fire Departments’ Strategic Plans because those were more pressing issues.
Captain Petersen stated I’m not going to paraphrase everything from the Chief’s Message, but I want to emphasize our
Department’s profound commitment for community safety, progressive policies and tactics, innovative training, and state the
fact that we are well ahead of the reform curve. We’ve been there for a number of years; typically, things that you’re seeing in
the media and from politicians about changes and reforms to police policies and practices, we’ve done 5-to-10 years ago. That’s
been a consistent theme in Cottage Grove for at least a decade now; things like crisis intervention training, deescalation, bars on
certain tactics, we did that years and years ago, so, we’re well ahead of the reform curve on those things.
As you know, things are changing very rapidly in law enforcement, and so we’re striving to be a very agile, adaptive, resilient
agency and be very innovative and ever changing in the way we train and coach and train our officers. It’s all about being
accountable to the community and emphasizing safety for all community members and our officers as well.
Public Services Commission Meeting

Mission Statement and Vision Statement
As you know, these are brand new to our department with our new Strategic Plan. I just want to emphasize the fact that our Use
of Force program in this report and doing things like what we’re doing tonight, having these forums with the community
members, fits very well into our Strategic Plan. It’s very important for us to have these listening sessions and educate and listen
to the public and adapt to what the public wants from us. We feel like we have a very good recipe for success when it comes to
our tactics and training in our Use of Force program. What we’re doing here tonight is a very important piece of that puzzle. As I
mentioned to the commission before, we’re looking at the commission to be our citizen advisory panel. We want to bring things
to you, bring information to you, bring ideas to you, and you be that sounding board from the community back to us, to tell us
whether this is a good idea or not. So, tonight, I’m bringing to you statistics and information about our Use of Force from last
year. I’m really hopeful that you can give me some of your thoughts and guidance.
Use of Force Report Procedures
Just for those who don’t know and the listening audience, when there is a Use of Force incident, all officers are required to report
that through a series of mechanisms. The sergeant will also respond to the scene and do an investigation. When that call is
completed, the officers go through a reporting sequence where they report all the information that will then feed into our Use
of Force Database. The sergeant does a QA on that, and then all that information, along with things like reports and squad video
and the whole package then goes to a Use of Force Review Committee. Every single Use of Force that happens in Cottage Grove
is reviewed by this committee on a quarterly basis. So, during that review, we’re doing things like deciding whether the Use of
Force is reasonable, within policy, whether there is any equipment or training or policy issues, and we’re looking at every single
Use of Force with a lens of was this preventable? Could we do this better? Would different pieces of equipment or a different
tactic change the outcome and make it safer, reduce liability? Things like that. So, we’re really looking at every Use of Force under
a microscope and trying to minimize the frequency that we use force.
After that Use of Force Review Committee does their analysis, all that statistical information gets fed into a real time dashboard
so we have access to literally any question you could ask about location, time, date, frequency, race, injuries; whatever you want
to know, we can provide you real time information about that.
Last Year’s Statistics
I’ll just give it some context: As you know, our City’s population is growing rapidly. Along with that, our call volume is rising
drastically. In the purple line, you can see our population, which is showing a slow, steady incline. In the light blue color, you can
see how drastically our Calls for Service increased last year. Despite that, our crime rate is on a steady decline; so, to me, that
says we’re doing something right. So, we had a little over 43,000 Calls for Service last year, and that’s everything from calls we
get from Dispatch to our proactive checks of businesses, parks, vacation checks, that’s encompassing every single thing that we
did last year. Of the 43,000+ Calls for Service, we only had 82 incidents that involved any amount of force at all. Just for your
information, we require our officers to report very minimal Uses of Force, whereas other departments don’t require officers to
report until higher thresholds. So, we’re capturing more of those incidents and more of that statistical data.
Of those 82 incidents, there were 103 people involved. So, as you can imagine, sometimes we’re dealing with multiple people.
We might do a felony stop on a vehicle and point our firearms at 4 people in that vehicle; so, that’s how we can get more people
than incidents.
On this graph, you can see our call volume steadily increasing over the last about 7 years, but despite that, our number of
Uses of Force is remaining very stable. So, you’d expect and what you see in some other communities is that as the call volume
increases, the Uses of Force follow that trend. Over the last decade here, we’ve really been emphasizing things like deescalation,
crisis intervention training, changing our tactics, and those are things that are keeping our incidents of Use of Force down. Like I
said, every time we have an incident, we’re looking at it through the lens of how can we prevent this in the future? The sheer
fact is we can’t ever reach 0, using force is just an aspect of our job that’s going to happen sometime. Sometimes we have to use
force, so it’s not completely avoidable, but there is plenty of opportunity to avoid Use of Force in some situations so we strive to
achieve that.
This graph shows that about 2/3 of our Use of Force is a response to a call that we’re dispatched to; so, it’s not something that
we were self initiating, we’re not policing aggressively with an over zealous nature that’s then resulting in a lot of Use of Force.
These are incidents that we’re getting called to, we’re kind of just dealt the cards that we’re dealt, and we have to deal with it to
make sure that the victims, witnesses, community members are safe.
Demographic Data
You can see on the graph on the left that about 2/3 of the people that we use force against are not Cottage Grove residents; so,
what we’ve learned over the last about 5 years is that about 2/3 of our crime is not committed by people who live in Cottage
Grove. Our belief is that some of the people who are prone to crime use the suburbs as a soft target; they come here to commit
retail theft and prey upon our community. So, naturally, their drawn to our attention and oftentimes they end up having Use of
Force used against them. That kind of feeds into the data regarding race. You can see that we’ve got a pretty good dispersion
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 6 of 14
that closely mirrors the demographic composition of our community, but not quite. It’s not a direct translation because as I just
said, people that we’re using force against aren’t our community members, so we can’t make that one-to-one comparison or
apples-to-apples comparison. We have to take into account that the people that we’re using the force against are not from our
community. So, I don’t put a whole lot of emphasis or stock on that statistic or that graph just because I know that it’s not showing
that we’re using force disproportionately against any one particular race.
The third graph shows what we’ve already known: Drugs, alcohol, and mental illness are huge contributors to Use of Force. So,
we’re doing things with our Community Impact Team to reduce that effect. We’re out there in the community, trying to mitigate
the amount and problematic nature of drug and alcohol abuse, putting a lot of assist on mental illness, homelessness, things like
that.
Particular Uses of Force
Unarmed Tactics: This shows the different forms of unarmed tactics; escort hold, grappling, takedown, all the way to a higher
level of force, which would be striking. Naturally, we’re using those lower levels of force more often than the more harsh forms
of force, like striking. That is in line with our training, we want officers to use the minimal amount of force necessary to control
a situation. So, I’m really happy when I see this graph, that we’re using those lesser forms of force more often than the higher
levels of force.
Intermediate Levels of Force: Taser, PepperBall, 40 mm. impact, OC sprays, and batons. We’re using the safest levels of force
more often than we’re using those forms of force that are going to most likely cause injury. Don’t be freaked out by the number
of uses of the Taser. As you’ll see here in a moment, those are threatened or displayed Uses of Force. So, even when an officer
pulls out his Taser and says, “Do X, Y, and Z, or I’m going to use my Taser,” those are reported as an actual Use of Force. So, out
of the 25 uses of the Taser, you’ll see that 20 of those were actual threats; so, we only used the Taser 5 times last year. PepperBall
is a very successful tool that we implemented a couple years ago. You’re seeing that being used more and more often with a lot
of success. The beauty of the PepperBall is that it’s a very, very safe tool; in fact, it’s our only non-lethal form of force. So, it’s
very safe, very effective and you’re seeing that used more and more often. Baton hasn’t been used in literally two decades; so,
this year we implemented a change where we’re actually giving our officers the opportunity to decide not to carry that anymore.
About half of our officers decided to ditch that, and you’ll see in a later slide what they’re replacing that with. So, when I talk
about the PepperBall, the thing that I like about that is it gives us a lot of options. Of course we have the option to impact the
person with that pepper projectile, but there are a lot of other options; I can shoot the floor, the ceiling, the wall around them,
and expose them to that chemical irritant. I can do warning shots, there are a lot of options besides just impacting the person.
So, our officers are trained and coached to start with those safer and lower levels of force before they impact a person unless
it’s absolutely necessary.
What you’re seeing on this slide is that we didn’t impact anybody at all last year. We did area saturation, which means we
shot around them, we used a lot of threats and displays of that tool. Lastly, on the right, you see the PepperBall Blast; I’ll save
that discussion for a little bit later, that’s a new tool that we just implemented. Again, 40 mm. Impact, we didn’t actually deploy
that at all last year, we took it out of the car, maybe threatened it or had it available to us, but we didn’t impact anybody with
that.
Police K9: We used the K9 a lot as a search and tracking tool, but we did not have any apprehensions or bite last year. Of course,
there are times when we take the dog out, we might make its presence known, we may threaten its use, but we didn’t actually
have any apprehensions last year. You can see how often it is being used to search wooded areas, buildings, etc., so it’s very
useful.
Chair Kons asked are any of these business related or workplace violence related, or are they all non-business?
Captain Petersen replied all of the above. So, the numbers that you’re seeing are representative of everything from workplace,
public venues, and private residences. If you have specific questions, I’ll be happy to jot that down and I can go right in and data
mine that out.
Restraints & Sedation: Captain Petersen stated this references our enhanced restraints. So, when somebody continues to be
noncompliant, combative, resistant, do things that would cause self injury or injury to others, after they’ve been handcuffed, we
have a number of ways that we can control them: Spit hood, so they’re not spitting at people. Hobble restraint conjures up an
image of somebody being hogtied in the prone position; that’s not what we’re using that for. We restrain their feet together at
the ankles, and then when we put them in a squad car, that leash is then secured in such a way that they can’t kick out windows
and injure themselves in the back of the car. We would never ever hogtie somebody and put them in a prone position, especially
for transport. Soft Restraints and Sedation aren’t functions of the Police Department; those are EMS functions that the
ambulance crew would do, but they are techniques or situations that the Police Department and the EMS Department face a lot
of liability and a lot of scrutiny, so we track those and report on those as well. Soft restraints would be when you put somebody
on a stretcher in the ambulance, they’re essentially just soft handcuffs that bind their hands inside of the stretcher. As a last
resort, we use chemical sedation, where they’re given a medication to sedate them and put them in a comatose state for lack of
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 7 of 14
better words so that they can’t harm themselves or somebody else on the way to the hospital. So, we see those being used fairly
frequently.
As I explained to you last year, we’ve had a couple individuals in our community in group home settings who are responsible
for the bulk of these situations. We’re starting to get a handle on that; the one primary person, a juvenile, who we were having
a problem with last year has since left; so, we’re not dealing with him, but there are a couple people that we deal with on a
repeated basis that we have to use soft restraints and chemical restraints. We try our very hardest not to use this or be very
smart about how we use them in these situations.
Pursuits and Use of Force: Last year, we had 19 pursuits, which thankfully is down from the previous year; in 2022, we reported
approximately 32 pursuits, if my memory serves me correctly. We only had to use Stop Sticks once and used the PIT maneuver
three times. The Blocking Maneuver is a new technique that we implemented last year where we’re trying to mitigate the threat
to the community that pursuits cause, and we’re doing that by essentially sacrificing our squads. We’re making intentional
contact with the fleeing vehicle or a vehicle that we think might flee, blocking it in with physical contact at low speeds, causing
minimal damage and preventing that vehicle from fleeing. We’re using this in situations where we might find a stolen vehicle
that’s in a Walmart parking lot. Rather than waiting for that vehicle to leave, get on Highway 61, and then activate our lights, and
giving that offender the opportunity to flee, we’ll just block it in, in the parking lot, and don’t ever give them the opportunity to
flee. We’re also using this at the end of pursuits; so, when they surrender, crash, get spun out in a PIT maneuver, we’re using this
technique to block them in so they can’t resume their flight.
Vice Chair Kath stated I think we were presented at one time that the Police Department has drones and we follow; he asked
so are pursuits part of a drone follow, too, then, these numbers we’re seeing?
Captain Petersen replied no, this has nothing to do with drones; in fact, we’re not using our drones at all to track or pursue
people who flee in a vehicle with our drone. We’re using State Patrol’s planes and helicopters for that. If somebody’s fleeing on
foot, we would certainly use a drone for that, though. We can’t get our drones launched in time and they simply can’t fly fast
enough to keep up with a fleeing vehicle.
Deadly Force Incidents: As you know, deadly force incidents are a very rare thing, thankfully; we haven’t had one since 2019.
However, our officers were kind of remotely involved in this incident in Woodbury within the last couple months; our officers
were not the actual officers who used deadly force. Therefore, you’re not seeing it in these statistics. In Cottage Grove, a Cottage
Grove officer has not used deadly force since 2019. Despite what the media and some politicians and that public narrative says,
deadly force is very, very, very rare. I’m not saying that doesn’t mean it’s not very impactful in the community, it’s not something
we should try to mitigate the effects of, but it’s simply to try to educate that it’s extremely, extremely rare. As you can see on
the bottom of the slide, 0.00057% of any Calls for Service resulted in any use of deadly force.
Injuries: Our tactics training, practices result in a high level of safety. So, last year, we only had five minor injuries to the subjects.
Those five minor injuries also include things like they weren’t actually hurt, but they wanted to see a medic or our policy requires
them to be checked out by a medic or they required some decon. For example, when we use PepperBall, our officers are required
to do some decontamination to mitigate the prolonged effects of the PepperBall, and they’re required to be checked out by a
paramedic. So, that’s going to be represented in the five minor injuries. We didn’t have any subjects that required transport or
any significant medical treatment; likewise, we didn’t have any real significant injuries to our officers. We had one twisted ankle
that resulted in a few hours lost. So, a very safe year for everybody involved, which we’re very proud of.
Use of Force Review Committee Determinations
When our Use of Force Review Committee takes a look at these incidents, first of all, we’re looking at is this reasonable, and is it
within policy? 100% of those incidents were deemed reasonable and within policy. Five of them were identified as opportunities
to improve, whether it was a training issue, tactics, doing a better report, things like that. We didn’t have any of those cases that
were referred to Command for Internal Affairs investigations. Once again, I’m proud to say I think this is the third year in a row
with zero citizen complaints regarding Use of Force; I don't know another agency that can report that same number. I can’t tell
you how monumental, important, and hard to achieve that is; when we’re using force on people in the community, it’s not
something that they’re happy about. Even if we do everything right, they’re very, very likely to call and complain or have ideas
of how we could do it better. So, for three years in a row to say that we haven’t had any citizen complaints is a true testament
to the fact that we’re doing everything right and our officers are doing things in a very professional manner.
Use of Force Trends
Some themes to sum this up:
•Force, in general, is very seldom used; deadly force is extremely rare
•Most of the time we’re resolving these incidents with deescalation, CIT strategies, or the mere threat or display of
force being used
•Very low injury rates, which indicates our tactics and training are very effective
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 8 of 14
•Our officers are doing a great job, they’re making great decisions, they’re being very professional, and they’re doing it
in a way that represents the department very, very well
Captain Petersen asked if there were any questions so far.
Commissioner Jenson stated my question is not related to Use of Force, but the call volume seems like it really went up in
2023; any themes or is that something you guys are digging into to understand why?
Captain Petersen replied sure, there are a couple of things that contribute to that: One is our community is growing, and so
naturally, that’s just going to generate more Calls for Service. Probably the most significant reason there is a huge jump is we
really stressed or exercised our officers to do a better job of documenting the work that they’ve been doing for years and
years. So, over the years, they got kind of lax about logging in their park checks and their business checks and their community
engagement; they were doing the work, they just weren’t hitting the keystrokes to give themselves and our department credit
for the work they’re doing. So, we really stress we want you to log all of this, and that represents the bulk of that jump.
Vice Chair Kath stated this is just a comment. As a commissioner and a resident, it just puts your mind at ease that you guys
are doing such a great job. I just want to applaud you and the whole team of our officers and the work they’re doing. The thing
that I heard, too, is you’re looking for improvement, too, even though you could rest on your laurels right now, pretty
substantially, but you’re not; you’re constantly looking for process improvement and that’s important. So, thank you so much
for that.
Captain Petersen stated absolutely, I’ll make sure I bring that message back to the guys and gals.
2024 CGPD Training Plan
Captain Petersen stated our Use of Force program and therefore our Use of Force statistics wouldn’t be so good if it wasn’t for
our training program. Thanks to the support of our City leaders, with the HERO Center and the amount of time and money and
resources that we have dedicated to training, that’s the only reason that I can report these numbers to you. It’s because we
have the time, the money, the resources to invest in training. Statistically, we know that agencies that don’t invest in training
pay more in lawsuits and liability and injuries in the long run. If you invest on the front end with training, you can mitigate
those numbers.
Our goal is to exceed the Minnesota POST Board standards for professionalism and professional development and make
sure that our officers are very proficient in their duties. There are some skill sets that you don’t have time to look up, there is
some information that we don’t have time to look up, there are lives on the line when we’re called upon to rescue a hostage;
they need to be very, very skilled and knowledgeable about how to do that when those tactics are appropriate. Those are
perishable skills, so we need to practice those throughout the year; even though we don’t actually do real-life hostage rescues
very often, but when we’re called upon, the public demands that we’re good at our jobs. That requires training time.
Also, there are those lower stress, lower-priority issues that the officers need to understand, too; they need to essentially
know every law, every statute, every ordinance. When the public calls us there, they expect us to know all of that, and that
requires training for officers to stay fresh and current on that. Our practices and laws are constantly changing, year to year to
year; so, again, it requires a lot of training time. So, our goal is basically just to provide the best service to our citizens that we
possibly can knowing that lives are at stake, there’s a lot of liability, there’s a lot of safety at risk.
Training Emphasis
Instructor and Leader Development: This past year we really wanted to emphasize leadership development. We had a lot of
turnover this last year, we had a lot of promotions, a lot of people in new roles, just a lot of growth and a lot of newness in the
department this last year. So, with that, we’ve devoted a lot of time to everybody understanding their roles and responsibilities
and developing those new leaders in their roles. Risk Mitigation and Deescalation Strategies: We continued to emphasize risk
mitigation and deescalation. Safer Vehicle Intervention Tactics: As I talked about, we had implemented a lot of tactics and
training surrounding vehicles. What we noticed in 2022 is that a lot of our close calls and injuries and liability was in and around
vehicle pursuits and Use of Force around vehicles and things like that. So, we put a lot of emphasis this past year in making that
safer and smarter.
As you can see from this chart, at a bare minimum our officers are getting 92 hours of In-Service Training per year. On the
right, you can see how those numbers are devoted. It’s not 92 hours of shooting and wrestling, it’s everything from mental
health awareness to officer wellness to First Aid, anything you can think of. The officers have an opportunity to go to
professional development and leadership trainings and external courses; so, on average, our officers are doing about 150-200
hours of training per year. Of course, officers in specialties, like those who are S.W.A.T. members, might be doing 500 hours of
training per year.
PepperBall Blast
As I said previously, we gave officers the opportunity to drop their baton this past year and most of them now are carrying the
PepperBall Blast in its place. This is based on the PepperBall system, but it does not shoot a spherical ball that contains a
pepper powder, it just shoots a cloud of pepper powder. Its got an effective range of about 10 feet; it can be used at a one-foot
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 9 of 14
standoff. It’s really intended as a self-defense tool, so if somebody’s attacking me, I can pull this thing out, deploy it, shoot a
cloud of powder onto their face and deter them. It could also be used to buy me time, space, and distance because we know
that we don’t want to be in the position where I’m close to an offender who’s attacking me and I don’t have time to think
about my options and I need to make a snap decision under stress. So, this gives me an opportunity to use this, create some
time, distance, and separation and either get away from the problem or use my tools and brain to control the problem in a
smarter way.
2023/2024 Equipment & Policy Updates
•One of the things we have been working on recently as we work through the budget process is getting new Tasers. So,
Taser informed us at the end of 2024 that our current Tasers will no longer be supported after 2025. So, we’re working
with Council to hopefully secure the funding to get new Tasers in 2025. I’ll leave it at that.
•We also invested in robots and drones. Again, we’re trying not to put our officers in positions where they’re in harm’s
way or we need to make decisions in close proximity with time compression. So, we’ll put technology in there to scout
a location out or communicate with an offender or subject. That’s just safer for everybody involved.
•This is a PepperBall pistol. Our C.S.O.s and Reserves were formerly carrying Tasers; we decided that the Taser is not
the best tool for them. A Taser is really a control tool vs. a self-defense tool. So, we decided that this PepperBall pistol
would be a better self-defense tool for them. So, they’ve been equipped and trained with this tool. We haven’t had
any deployments yet, I don’t expect to have very many of these ever. I can’t think of a single Taser deployment from
our Reserve or C.S.O. programs ever, so I think this will be very much the same. We probably will never have a
deployment and if we do, it will be very few, but it gives them an option to defend themselves if they find themselves
in that situation.
Captain Petersen stated after everything I’ve talked about, I’d like to bring your attention to this incident. It talks about our
officers demonstrating the best tactics, best practices, having great equipment, great training, working well as a team, and
having a very good outcome. Without all those things we’ve been talking about tonight, this could have had a very different
outcome:
We were called to an address where family was calling 911, saying their family member was experiencing mental illness or a
mental health crisis, and he was threatening to kill family. Our patrol officers arrived very quickly and evacuated the family
members to safety. At that point, once the family members are out, and there’s nobody else in harm’s way, we could really
slow down that incident, focus on creating time, distance, space, and negotiating with that subject and using our CIT skills.
That’s exactly what we did, we made contact with the subject, who was inside, tried to use our negotiation skills. We even had
S.W.A.T. negotiators come, try to talk this person out of the house. Meanwhile, our officers are using things like robots, drones,
shields, PepperBall 40 mm., to have all those plans in place if we needed them. After a lengthy period of time, we realized that
due to this individual’s severe mental health crisis, we weren’t going to be able to talk him out of the house. So, we
implemented a tactical plan using PepperBall to coax him out of the house. That’s what we did, we used the PepperBall, he
surrendered peacefully, and then we got him into custody and got him to the hospital where he needed to be to get care. So, it
was a great outcome for everybody involved. Great demonstration of all these tools and tactics and policies that we have to
have a safe outcome.
2023 Annual S.W.A.T. Report
As you know, we have a multijurisdictional S.W.A.T. team that comprises about 70-to-80 members throughout the County. It’s
a Tier-2 S.W.A.T. team, with Tier-1 being the highest, capable of everything including hostage rescues. So, the theme continues
here where our call volume is increasing annually. The major reason for that is S.W.A.T. made a decision about two years ago to
do a lot more proactive work, meaning we’re getting involved in community events. So, rather than responding reactively
when there’s a problem, we’re deploying proactively to make sure or try to prevent problems. For example, at Strawberry Fest,
you see S.W.A.T. officers there, at Lumberjack Days in Stillwater you’re seeing S.W.A.T. there to try to deter any problems; but
also, we’re engaging the community and learning from the community, teaching the community, recruiting. It’s a great
opportunity for S.W.A.T. to get out there and engage with the community.
There were 64 missions last year, and a large number of those were those security missions or community engagement
missions. In fact, 22 of them were QRF, 24 of them were PR events, very few of them were traditional S.W.A.T. missions. There
were 5 warrant services, 1 hostage rescue, 0 barricaded individuals, and 3 mutual aid calls where we’re called to Hennepin
County or Dakota County to help them out. So, really only less than 10 traditional S.W.A.T. missions, whereas in past years, you
would see in the neighborhood of 20-to-30. Again, we’re teaching our officers to deescalate a lot of these situations, we’re not
doing those high-risk search warrants that were really typical for S.W.A.T. to do in the past; we’re finding smarter ways to get
those people into custody. We’re giving our patrol officers the tools and training to resolve a lot of these situations safely that
would otherwise have been S.W.A.T. missions in the past. So, you’re seeing those traditional S.W.A.T. missions decrease.

We didn’t do any no-knock, nighttime search warrants last year. We do still reserve that ability to do those for very, very high-
risk situations, but we did not have any last year. In past years, there had been very few of those as we’re doing things like
surround and callouts, where we’ll show up to a search warrant, surround the house, use negotiators to call the subject out to
us rather than doing those high-risk dynamic search warrants that aren’t safe or smart for anybody.
S.W.A.T. Training Plan
Our S.W.A.T. officers are getting a lot of training, and that’s by virtue of NTOA standards; they’re getting minimally 190 hours of
S.W.A.T. training per year to stay proficient in all those high-risk skills and knowledge.
2023 S.W.A.T. Accomplishments
•We ordered a brand new armored vehicle, so now we’re going to have three armored vehicles in Washington County.
As you know, Washington County poses some geographical challenges with its shape; it’s very difficult to cover that
county with our current two armored vehicles, response times are just not satisfactory. So, the Sheriff’s Office
purchased a new BearCat, which will hopefully be here by the end of the year.
•One of the kind of unique things that we’re doing is our negotiators and our tech operators are being cross-trained as
tactical operators. What we found is as we try to use our negotiation skills and CIT, it was sucking our negotiators
closer and closer to the problem where historically they would be in a command post, or a trailer, or someplace off
site, communicating with the subjects. When they talk to some of these individuals, they’re having to be too close to
the problem, which obviously causes some potential problems. So, we wanted to give them all the tools, training, skills
to be comfortable in those situations. So, we’re cross-training them as if they were tactical operators, but their
primary focus is still negotiations or operating drones, robots, things like that.
Captain Petersen stated that was a lot of information, I tried to summarize it as much as possible, but I’d love to hear some of
your thoughts or feedback guidance.
Commissioner Kelsey Moyer asked for the robot operators, do they have certain training or programming that they go through,
too, or how are they? Because you said there are drones and robots; so, I don’t really know what to picture when you say robots,
I just don’t know how that works.
Captain Petersen stated we have quite a number of different robots. So, some are very small, smaller than a shoebox, to some
being as big as this podium, and they give us different capabilities. The small ones basically we can drive into a situation and just
get to see what’s in there, but we can’t interact with the environment besides just seeing. We do have some that can do two-
way communication, so we can drive that robot in there, have two-way visual and two-way communication where we can talk
to a person from a safe distance. We have others that we can drive in that have manipulator arms that can grab things, lift things,
carry things, do all the things that you see on the movies. Yes, to operate any and all of those, there is different degrees of training
that our operators go through. So, the same thing for the drones, we have drones that are meant to be outside, we have drones
that are meant to be inside to fly in confined spaces, and our operators are trained to fly those as well.
Commissioner Moyer stated so, they’re not self-operated? There’s always somebody doing something. Captain Petersen
replied there’s nothing autonomous, they’re always operated by a person.
Commissioner Moyer asked for the PepperBall pistol, how will that be placed? I guess there will be training for that, but there’s
also been an incident, “I thought I grabbed my Taser, but I grabbed my gun,” and that’s kind of the same structure. Is that
something that is kind of like being focused on? Or are they placed on the same side, or how does that work?
Captain Petersen replied for that very reason, our sworn police officers will never carry a PepperBall pistol. Only our non-
sworn officers, our C.S.O.s and our Reserves, because they don’t carry a pistol. So, they’ll be carrying it on their duty belt, on
their strong side; it’s very brightly marked, it’s yellow, and it doesn’t look like a firearm. But there will never be an opportunity
for an officer to use that; we’ve written that into our policy that the sworn officers won’t even pick up that PepperBall pistol,
they’re prohibited by policy from using it.
Commissioner Moyer stated I would just think that would be hard in just such a quick decision, like how to, oh, gosh, what did
I grab?
Captain Petersen replied yes, that’s a real thing, and so we don’t want our officers carrying both, a pistol and a PepperBall
pistol.
Commissioner Moyer stated I like that, thank you.
Chair Kons stated that was exactly my question, are officers still using Tasers and if no, were they going to replace them with the
PepperBall pistol? So, the answer’s no, I got that, but that’s great news. One more quick question regarding the S.W.A.T.
information that you just went over. You said you had 64 record-breaking missions, which is fantastic, but what I didn’t know is
were they real events or were they practice events or were they partnerships with other communities?
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 11 of 14
Captain Petersen replied those were all real events. Let’s go back to that slide so I can cite stats. So, 24 of those were public
relations events, so they invited us to come to talk to the Boy Scouts or they wanted us to do a recruiting table at Park High
School for their career day; those would be PR events. The QRF event is more of a security mission where we’re invited to be
there, three-or-four operators will be there for Strawberry Fest to try and deter or respond to any problems that happen. So, 46
of those events were proactive in nature, not real incidents; 6 of those were hostage rescue or warrant service, things of that
nature.
Chair Kons said that’s excellent; it sounds like you guys had a great year last year.
Captain Petersen stated yes, and those are the years we like to see where we can get out and engage with the community and
not respond to problems, that’s a great year.
Chair Kons said thank you, well done, congratulations.
Commissioner Jenson stated thanks for the data and the transparency. I really appreciate the balanced approach of safety for
the community as well as for your officers, so that’s really good to see.
Captain Petersen replied great, thank you.
Chair Kons stated I echo that; thank you for your passion to keep our community safe, it’s much appreciated.
Captain Petersen replied thank you.
Commissioner Lotts stated I actually just came up with something. The new BearCat, have you guys determined like prestaging
locations yet?
Captain Petersen replied that’s still up to some discussion. The thought is the brand-new one will be at the Sheriff’s Office, of
course, because they’re buying it. The old BearCat, which is probably going to be refurbished, the thought is that’s going to go to
the Forest Lake-Hugo area, and they will keep our MRAP for now. So, there’s some discussion and some wiggle room of how
we’re going to move those chess pieces around, but that’s the initial thought.
Commissioner Lotts stated cool, I just wasn’t sure if we needed to start having some foresight for facilities to store this thing.
Captain Petersen replied I wish, I would love to have the BearCat, but.
8. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. HUNTING MAPS
Captain Petersen stated before you is a memo that has the recommendations on it, the changes to the archery map. So, this is
the 2024-2025 hunting season’s archery map, which you see displayed here. It has the recommended changes already made to
it. I also have available the 2023-2024 hunting map, so the previous version, if you wish to see it and compare the changes.
Essentially, the Planning Department has recommended a couple changes:
We’re removing a parcel of land in the southwest portion of the City, which is adjacent to the DNR’s land, at about 103rd and
Hadley Avenue. We’re removing two parcels of land at 90th and Keats, and a small piece of land by Hope Glen Farms and East
Point Douglas Road, another small portion by Highway 61 and Kimbro Avenue, and two parcels in the north part of the City near
65th Street. The Police Department is a part of these recommendations if you so wish to discuss them or identify these a little
bit closer on the map, we can work through that. Would you like to have that discussion at this time, or do you want to just go
ahead with that recommendation?
A female commissioner asked is it primarily because of development or because of requests from homeowners?
Captain Petersen replied it’s all development related, so some of this has been rezoned or now it’s too close to something
that developed on an adjacent parcel, so now it’s too close, things like that.
I should also say that there haven’t been any significant changes to our hunting ordinances; as you can see from the memo,
there were no hunting-related complaints last year. We did have a couple complaints of hearing gunshots throughout the town,
and we had one complaint that an arrow ended up in my yard, but they weren’t hunting related. So, there were zero hunting
complaints last year, so our ordinances are very effective, do what they’re supposed to do. Our hunting map is doing what it’s
supposed to do, so we don’t see any reason at this point to make any significant changes other than those five minor changes
that I outlined.
Chair Kons asked can you circle the areas that you just mentioned that you’re going to remove? I wasn’t able to check that as
fast as you said it.
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 12 of 14
Captain Petersen replied the first one is right down here, at 103rd and Hadley, this triangular, pink-shaped portion. Chair Kons
asked so there’s no archery currently, or is this the proposed map?
Captain Petersen replied both; so, formerly, there was hunting allowed in this triangular area. So, last year, you could hunt
there, and we’re proposing now that there should not be hunting there.
Chair Kons stated okay, so the pink is what we’re proposing, okay, got it.
Captain Petersen stated 90th and Keats, which would be right in here; there were a couple spots where you could hunt.
Chair Kons stated, okay, but there’s still 6 yellow plots right there, too. Is that okay?
Council Member Thiede stated those are private residences, so they can hunt on their own land; obviously, you can’t go hunt
on other property without permission. Chair Kons stated I’m good with that, I’m just trying to figure out why we moved some,
but not others, but it’s a private residence, okay.
Captain Petersen stated Hope Glen and East Point Douglas, right down in this area; I apologize, but I don't know the exact
parcel. Chair Kons stated that’s okay, just the general area is good.
Captain Petersen stated and 65th would be up in here somewhere. Chair Kons stated okay, thank you for that, I can figure it
out that way.
Captain Petersen stated so what we just talked about is related to archery; we’re not recommending any changes to the firearms
map, so we don’t see any reason to change that based on the development or future plans at this point.
Chair Kons stated I’m okay with moving forward with that recommendation.
Motion by Vice Chair Kath that we accept the hunting maps as has been presented this evening. Motion was seconded by
Commissioner Lisa Rediske. Motion carried: 7-0.
9. COMMISSION COMMENTS - None.
10. STAFF REPORTS AND MATERIALS
Gary Orloff, Superintendent-Streets, gave highlights of the Street Department, Forestry, and Stormwater work being done:
•The big thing is we got the thin overlay started about two weeks ago, we’re out in old Cottage Grove, off of 77th Street,
kind of by the old fire station there. A lot of pleased residents, it’s pretty much finished up those three streets off 77th
that were in pretty bad shape. This year we’re looking at putting down about 2,000 tons in that process.
•We have two interns that have started Emerald Ash Borer treatment; they have roughly about 450 trees to treat, and
they do about 30 a day.
•We have two sweepers out, sweeping the Business District, so anytime it hasn’t been raining, they’ve been out.
•Mowing: We’ve got the big tractor out now in rural areas, so he can only make one pass back; again, that’s kind of been
limited with the amount of rain, but we’re getting caught up on that.
•Stormwater: Our guys are in catch basins that actually have cement rings in them, under that metal grate you see, so
they’re doing what’s called a tuckpointing process. Between the rings, they tuckpoint and mud in there, and that
prevents big cave-ins that can cause the road to cave in, and it’s up to a $5K process to get that thing back in. They can
get in and out in about 20 minutes per catch basin.
He asked if there were any questions, but none were asked.
Director Burfeind stated there’s one other Public Works update I would like to add. That’s related to our lead service line
inventory project. A little while back, the Federal EPA had revised the run of copper rules that required every water supplier in
the country to inventory every water service connected to their water system, really looking for lead service lines. Now, what’s
interesting in Cottage Grove is we know we do not have lead service lines, just from our experience and really how new of a city
we are; but the challenge is you have to have proof of that, either through construction specifications or City Ordinance. In 1981,
lead was just banned, so you know after that everything could not be lead, but there are about 1,300 homes that were built
between 1958 and 1961 that were before our City Ordinance went into place requiring copper services. Those three
neighborhoods, the south side of Highway 61, in that Thompson Grove neighborhood, and one in the Thompson Grove Estates,
kind of by Armstrong Elementary, we know have copper water services, many of our employees live there. We know what’s in
place, but you have to have proof. Unfortunately, constructions specs were by a different company, not the engineer, Bonestroo,
that the City signed on with in 1961. So, we have to physically do survey inspections to show that. So, a lot of communities did a
self-completed survey process so residents in those areas received a letter a few weeks ago with just a QR Code, and it’s very
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 13 of 14
simple. It goes right to a GIS database that we created, they just put their address, and then show a picture of their service line,
it shows that it’s copper, which we know it is, and then it’s completed. So, about 100-to-150 of those have been completed, and
we’re sending out another letter asking for residents to do the survey with another two-week window. But at that point, we will
have to work to complete them all ourselves with our own staff, so it’s a little bit of an effort for our Utility Department, but it’s
the requirement. We’re still better off than cities like St. Paul, who have over 100,000 services, and they’ve been doing this for
years to try to document those. It’s a little bit of work, but if you hear about this letter that folks are receiving, I know when they
got it, a few folks didn’t know if this was legitimate, wondered what is this, even though we have all of our information on there.
It is the City of Cottage Grove asking for this for about those 1,300 homes. So, if you know someone who asks you about that, it
is a survey we’re looking for them to complete. So, that’s my only update.
Commissioner Lotts asked how many did you get back?
Director Burfeind replied right now, we’re at about 150. So, we’re hoping with our second-round letter, if we can get to 300
or 400, we’re trying to get as many as we can without our staff. But it will be very quick; we’re actually planning to probably just
start while we do our meter appointments and things like that, we’re doing them, naturally, to check more off. But we’ll just start
either calling folks or just going door to door and seeing if they’re available, because it’ll take us about two minutes to complete
it. So, it’s very quick.
Commissioner Lotts stated that QR Code idea, whoever’s that was, was fantastic. I don’t know who generated that, but that’s
a dynamite idea.
Director Burfeind stated yes, it was actually really slick where our administration team could develop the code, and our own
GIS staff could create the database, and it feeds right into a database that the State is looking for. So, it will go right to them,
basically, so it’s very quick and efficient.
Captain Petersen stated I gave you a copy of our Quarter 2 newsletter, so feel free to review that. Send any questions or concerns
my way, and I’ll just highlight a couple of the major things:
As you know, we implemented the new Strategic Plan, so we’re making tons of progress on that, and by all metrics and
measures, officers in our department are doing a great job with all those goals and Strategic Plans.
We’re very proud to say that we had CPR-AED saves in the last quarter, so our patrol officers saved four lives with the rapid
response with CPR and AED in the last quarter.
I’m excited to say that we just posted for our Embedded Social Worker position, so that’s going to be a great addition to our
Community Impact Team; that’s going to really help address some of these community issues like homelessness, chemical abuse,
alcoholism, mental illness, things like that. That’s kind of the missing link of our Community Impact Team, and so, getting that
person on board is going to be a great asset.
Along those same lines, we’re really close to implementing a Therapy/Service K9. So, we’re putting together the final pieces
of that, a couple funding, policy, and acquisition pieces; I’m about 98% sure that that’s going to happen early in 2025, so that’ll
be super exciting.
Obviously, this is our busy season for community engagements and special events. So, our officers have been out hitting all
those smaller events, lemonade stands, playing in the park, and things like that on a constant basis, all day long. We’re also
planning and engaged in those bigger events like Strawberry Fest and our upcoming events, like Night to Unite, and things like
that. So, we’re super busy engaging with the public. Upcoming Events: Night to Unite on August 6; the Cottage Grove Open House
on September 16; a Citizens Academy is starting in October, so if you know anybody who wants to learn more about the
department, engage with the department, we’re still looking for some people to fill up that Citizens Academy.
Chair Kons asked how do you sign up for the Citizens Academy?
Captain Petersen stated either follow the link from our website or any of our social media or call one of our Community Impact
Team members, or really just talk to anybody and we’ll get them hooked up.
Captain Petersen stated like I said, there’s tons of really good information in this newsletter, so when you get a chance to digest
that, I’m sure you’ll have some questions or comments, so you can feel free to direct those my way at any time. Thank you.
11. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council Member Thiede stated good evening, everyone. One of the things I’ll say in terms of activity and you guys have got the
presentations, too; we’ve got both the Fire Department and the Police Department Strategic Plans at Council, and had very good
discussions and they were received very well. It was an excellent job that was done, so good work.
Also, I guess one of the other things is we’re working on budget right now, so there’s a lot of that activity.
Public Services Commission Meeting
July 15, 2024
Page 14 of 14
We also just appreciate kind of a response back, but we just put out an offer for a new Communications Manager. So, if there
are things that you think would be better on how we communicate to the public or internally, now is definitely a good time to
kind of get some of those comments in. Talk to your peers and your network and everything else and just see if there’s certain
things that people would like to see to get better, more complete communication. Because even sometimes when we think that
we’re doing a good job of communication, you talk to somebody and they say, oh, gosh, I never heard about that, right? So,
anything that we can do to improve that would be great.
Talking about communication, I think you all should have recently received the Water Quality Report. I looked through it, it
looked pretty good and everything, but definitely if you have any feedback or comments related to that and how there might be
better ways to communicate things to the public, etc., that would be great to get feedback on.
Council Member Thiede asked if the commissioners had any questions for him.
Chair Kons stated this may not be a Cottage Grove question, but the construction on Highway 61 that they’re preparing for,
“Expect Delays,” what are they doing?
Council Member Thiede asked Director Burfeind to answer that.
Director Burfeind replied that’s a good question. So, as you head north, I’m assuming you’re talking about into Newport,
towards 494, that’s just some concrete pavement repairs. If you remember in Cottage Grove last year, it was much more
extensive, but we were down to one lane for probably a couple months. This is just some smaller repairs they had to do to the
concrete pavement, so it was just last weekend, then this coming weekend, assuming the weather cooperates, is when they’ll
be doing it. So, it was down to one lane over this past weekend, as you probably saw. It is on the weekend, so that helps minimize
that traffic delay. If everything goes well, they’ll do the same next weekend, and then wrap up that work.
Chair Kons stated that’s huge, that’s great.
Director Burfeind stated we reached out to MnDOT because the sign just said, “Starts July 12, Expect Delays,” and that’s very
open ended. Chair Kons said, yes, we didn’t know what it was.
Council Member Thiede asked so is the work on 80th Street where you’ve got Highway 61, that was not part of that work, was
it?
Director Burfeind replied no, that was separate.
Council Member Thiede stated so, that was a separate thing, which I think caused a lot of people to be confused. So, that
wasn’t related to the other, and it’s being done at night or over the weekends, right?
Director Burfeind stated that’s correct. MnDOT did a redo; that was a MnDOT job because they own that 80th Street bridge,
and then the interchanges there. That pavement was in terrible condition, so they finally fixed that. But I know it was very painful
for that day and a half, during the day while they did that work. That’s a little bit of a Band-Aid; the City’s going to be redoing the
rest of 80th Street in 2026, and they’re going to fully redo those interchanges as well, but the pavement was just so poor they
had to do something.

6. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND APPLICATIONS
A. Lot Split at 9016 Kimbro – Cases MS2024-016 & V2024-016
Al Stewart has applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide a 6.45 -acre parcel of land located at 9016 Kimbro
Avenue South into two lots, a 3.1-acre parcel with the existing house and structures and a 3.35-acre buildable
parcel, and a variance from the minimum 180-foot lot width at the road.
Rooney summarized the staff report and recommended approval based on the findings of fact and subject to the
conditions stipulated in the staff report.
Planning Commission Minutes - Regular Meeting
August 26, 2024
Page 2 of 6
Frazier asked if there were any questions for staff.
Brittain stated this looks familiar; have we seen this application before? Rooney replied no, but in the spring we saw a
separate minor subdivision for an almost-identical parcel, just further south on Kimbro, but it has a similar layout. So,
it will look very familiar.
Fisher asked so when construction starts on the new parcel, will there be a required easement for that driveway since
it will service both parcels? Rooney replied yes. So, the Right-of-Way is already taken along the road so they’ll have a
Right-of-Way easement that will happen, but they already have that requested along Kimbro Avenue. Fisher asked
because they’ll have to drive on Parcel A to get to Parcel B from that particular access, correct? Rooney replied no, so
they’ll still have their existing access down here, so each of the parcels will have their own. Fisher said right, but will
Parcel B still be able to access their parcel through Parcel A, or will that be completely separated? Rooney replied no,
that will be completely separated.
Brittain stated the drawing appears to show a connection point from that barn area to Parcel A’s driveway; is that not
going to be there? Rooney replied I don’t believe so, but perhaps the person here on behalf of the applicant can answer
that more specifically.
Bhat asked so why is that requirement there if they have an 80 -foot minimum requirement for the approach? Rooney
replied it’s essentially there to ensure that the lots are buildable for a future subdivision once utilities are built in tha t
area. So, we just want to make sure that we’re keeping with the intent of the District to provide Low-Density areas. So,
by having the wider frontage, usually you’re just going to have a wider lot in general; sometimes when there are
subdivisions to divide the land, we wi ll go shorter if it makes sense within our Code. But typically we do want them
larger, so that the lot is lower in density in general.
Frazier asked if the applicant would like to approach the podium and add anything additional.
Todd Olin said I’m with Land & Resource Consulting, I’m here on behalf of Al Stewart. Just a couple of additional
details, Riley did a really comprehensive job of revealing all these. To answer the question if there is a connection
there, there will have to be an easement over both the entrance on Parcel A and then a portion of Parcel B; but she’s
correct in that if there’s no connection, no easements, and they will both have their independent accesses at the end
of the day. What we were requesting is that both accesses on Parcel B be allowed to be maintained until a driveway
is necessary on Parcel A, then we’d close the other one. So, at the end of the day, it would remain with one access
per lot.
Olin said one of the items I just want to point out, and I don't know if there’s two different things on the agenda to
discuss, the plan itself and maybe the variance. On the variance, what we’re trying to do is save some character here;
there’s a couple of outbuildings, they’re farm-type buildings, and I wouldn’t say they’re a staple of Cottage Grove, but
they’re there and they’ve been there for a long time. What we’d like to do is be able to conform to all of the area
community standards with the exception of the frontage and b e able to save those barns and the existing house and
the septic that goes with the existing home. The configuration that you have on Parcel A is really a rendition that could
be, but it really is dependent on when a building permit is requested, as there will be an architect that would design
that to fit into that lot. We went out and did some soil borings to make sure that those areas do work and do perk; so,
we’re not creating a situation where we’re going through all these steps to do a split that doesn’t work at the end of the
day anyway. The last thing I wanted to point out was under all other bulk area standards, the intent is followed with the
exception of that frontage. Because we have 6.6 acres and change and your minimum lot standard size is 3 acres, and
then of course there are setbacks and everything else that applies, but we can conform to all those things with the
exception of that frontage and still following intent. Olin said I’m here for questions if you have any.
Frazier asked commissioners if there were any questions for the applicant.
Rasmussen stated it sounds like you guys did your homework with the soil borings and all that investigation. I’m just
looking at this drawing, and there seems to be a lot of grade change. I can’t really tell if it’s going down or up, but I thi nk
it’s down, but the house fits on that hill and the septic without any concerns. It seems like it’s kind of all built on a hill is
what it looks like here. Olin replied that’s correct. The grade falls somewhat gently away from the road, but then once
it gets behind the existing septic and barn, then it kind of flattens out and then does rise towards the west. I picked a
point where it tucks into the hill so they’d have a view out over the lower area, but again, the septics would work based
on the grades. Of course, when we do septics, they have to remain native soils; what we do as a first step is we go out
and we would in this case remove some trees but then fence them so nobody would drive over them and compact

them, and they would stay the way they are. So, we picked spots where we knew the grades would work. If there’s a
different configuration, they’ll have to go through that again, and I suspect they will when the building permit is applied
for. Rasmussen said I couldn’t tell looking at this if it was sloped down or upwards, but hearing that it goes up makes
a little more sense, thank you.
Frazier opened the public hearing.
I’m Chris Meyer, I’m the next-door neighbor, and I’m quite familiar with the lay of the land because I used to own that
also. It’s quite a drainage easement, pretty much where that new lot land is going to be. And where that driveway would
be, there would have to be some area where that water can come through because in the spring when there’s a big
snow melt, it’s like a river. I’m not too concerned about my property being affected, but I just had a question about how
they would take care of that. Frazier asked okay, as far as the drainage easement goes, if they’ve taken care of that
and thought of that? Meyer said when I was there, I did the split, 3 acres off, and the City came out and they told me if
I ever had a problem with those 2 old outbuildings, I couldn’t replace them because of the easement. So, that driveway
is going to be in part of the drainage easement. So, I’m just wondering how it will be addressed.
As no one else spoke, Frazier closed the public hearing.
Frazier asked Rooney if she wanted to answer the question about the drainage easement and what’s going on, on that
side of the property. Rooney replied I am no engineering expert; however, from my perspective as a planner, the
driveway meets all setbacks proposed for the District, so we don’t have any concern, at least for setbacks, on our end.
As for drainage, I would probably typically defer to a drainage expert, perhaps Todd Olin can answer some questions;
otherwise, we can always ask. Schmitz stated so with drainage, we’d certainly look at that with a driveway permit within
the Right-of-Way; we certainly wouldn’t allow for construction of a driveway or any infrastructure that would impact
drainage into an adjacent property. We’ll have to do some looking into the easement that I’m not familiar with, so we’ll
need to dig into that to be sure that anything that’s proposed isn’t impacting a condition of an easement that exists.
Frazier stated I guess my concern is at this point, there’s no proposal to actuall y build on this property. So, what we’re
looking for is just making sure that this split that we’re making is making two buildable lots; so, I guess the concern at
this point is do we believe that this drainage issue may cause an issue with buildability on the property or are we
confident that this is not going to be an issue, as far as getting to the point where now we’re talking about a driveway
that can’t be there. Schmitz replied no, I’m certain that there’s a way that we would work through if there was a challenge
as it relates to drainage. Frazier said all right, thank you.
Frazier asked if there were any further questions.
Fisher stated I don’t have a question, but I just wanted to speak on the variance because variances are typically granted
when there’s some sort of hardship that isn’t made by the person who owns the property. Considering where the septic
line is and you had mentioned it specifically, so I see what you did with the variance and why you’re asking for it, and
it makes sense to me. My only concern is going back to the easements, because everything’s fine and dandy until
someone drives on someone else’s property and makes somebody angry; so, I would just be aware of that as they go
through their approval process if that is going to stay connected like it looks like it is in the plan, that those agreements
are clear because we don’t want people fighting. Rooney replied we would want to ensure that those are taken into
hand before a building permit is addressed on that parcel. Fisher stated and I would imagine if someone is going to
build a driveway back there, they would build it so it wouldn’t wash out every year ; so, hopefully those things can be
addressed as they go.
Frazier asked if there were any further comments or discussion from the commission; there were none.
Fisher made a motion to approve the minor subdivision and variance at 9016 Kimbro, subject to the conditions
stipulated in the staff report. Rasmussen seconded. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote).
7. PRESENTATION
A. Preserve.Play.Prosper Campaign
Dockter stated I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you tonight about the Preserve.Play.Prosper Plan, which is
basically an opportunity for our residents to vote on reinvesting in the parks and outdoor spaces in Cottage Grove.
Parks and recreation is a point of pride in Cottage Grove and we see that in how our facilities are being used and how
Planning Commission Minutes - Regular Meeting
August 26, 2024
Page 4 of 6
the growth of those facilities are being used; I’m sure you as commissioners see it, that every time we build a
neighborhood, people are pretty excited to get their new neighborhood park and use the facilities, whether its trails,
park facilities, programs, events, or whatever it is. We’re seeing that growth in Cottage Grove with the growth of the
community and just with the excitement of the investments we’ve made. It’s getting harder and harder to make those
capital investments, so we always take a lot of pride that our oldest and smallest parks are just as well maintained as
our largest and newest parks; but it’s those capital investments that kind of catch up to you, those multimillion dollar
investments that are just hard to keep up with. We haven’t had a parks capital referendum in over 40 years, as 1984
was the last time we had one of those. We’ve been doing a lot of studying, trying to figure out what residents want in
their Parks & Recreation system. If you go on the website, there are like 5 or so different surveys; the most recent
was the 2022 survey, which was called the Reimagine Recreation Survey. But we kind of compiled all those different
surveys and all that different data, and we came up with a list of what we thought the community wanted in their Parks
& Recreation system for today and then also in the future. And then we tried to put those into three distinct projects;
so, really what I want to make sure the commissioners know and what the community knows is that this wasn’t a
knee-jerk reaction; this is 5, 10 years in the making. These studies go back 10 years, so it’s taken a lot of work and a
lot of listening to the community, trying to get to a point where we think we’re asking the community to vote on
something that we think they want. So, introducing the Preserve.Play.Prosper Plan, based on the feedback we had
three projects at $36 million that we’re asking the community to consider. The three projects are: Upgrade and
enhance Hamlet Park; Create a new 33.3-acre, nature-based park at Mississippi Dunes Park; and Transformation of
the River Oaks Golf Course and Event Center into a year-round recreation destination for all ages.
Hamlet Park: Is our oldest and largest park in Cottage Grove. The proposed $17 million plan for that project
specifically would:
• Upgrade the playground equipment
• Build a new four-season recreational building
• Install a small splashpad
• Create a new skateboard park
• Build an amphitheater
• Create an art walk/sculpture garden with benches and informational kiosk
• Add a synthetic turf sports field with lighting in the existing location of the current soccer -football complex
• Finish the south baseball park complex by constructing those last two baseball fields and the additional
parking lot
• Finishing off the roads and trails and landscape that go with all of that
Mississippi Dunes Park-Create the First Public Park Along the Mississippi River: This is an opportunity to create
recreational access to the Mississippi River in Cottage Grove, as we just recently acquired 33.3 acres through some
grants and different funding mechanisms. This $13 million investment would:
• Restore and preserve natural habitat, which is probably over 80 percent of the property is actually preserving
and restoring natural habitat on the shoreline and up into the land
• Build up the shoreline along the river
• Provide recreational river access for canoes, kayaks, small boats, and fishing; it is a shallow area down there,
mostly 2-to-3 feet deep, but there is a channel that goes from Mississippi Dunes park land out to the main
channel that’s about 6-to-7 feet, so we can get smaller vessels out there
• Construct new and enhanced existing walking and hiking trails
• Create a nature-based playground
• Provide space for outdoor classrooms
• Build an interpretive learning center
• Add facilities for nature activities and picnicking
Transform River Oaks Golf Course and Event Center: One of the things I want to make sure is noted here is you’re
not going to hear a lot about golf; River Oaks is a golf course and Event Center, but we’re trying to find different ways
for the community to use it. We love River Oaks Golf Course, people use it in a myriad of ways, and we want to make
sure we get more people down there using it in different ways. The proposed $6 million plan would:
• Install multisport simulators
• Add pickleball/event court in the bocce ball area; bocce ball wouldn’t go away, it would be a complement to
that
Planning Commission Minutes - Regular Meeting
August 26, 2024
Page 5 of 6
• Create a new winter mountain biking 5-km. course, which could also be used for running 5Ks and cross country
• Upgrade the building, with the simulator we’ll be connecting the two buildings so that we can seamlessly work
between both buildings for food and beverage service, too
• Enhance the patio dining area
• Build a 9-hole Himalayan putting green course designed for all skill levels
Dockter said the Preserve.Play.Prosper. Plan is designed to invest in parks and recreation and deliver activities and
offerings that our residents want. We’re trying to find a responsible way to do it with the taxpayer money; to fund the
proposed investment, the City’s asking the residents to consider a half-percent Local Option Sales Tax as part of the
general election on November 5. Each project needs to stand on its own merits: So, Hamlet Park is $17 million,
Mississippi Dunes is $13 million, and River Oaks is $6 million, all of which total $36 million. That’s spread out over a
25-year period. If all of the projects were to pass, it doesn’t mean all of these projects will get funded and would be
done in the first year; they would be done over the course of time, depending on how that revenue comes into the City.
Local Option Sales Tax: One thing about the Local Option Sales Tax is first of all, it’s a half-percent local sales tax
and it’s taxed just like any other product or service in the community.
• Over 31 percent of the contributions would come from outside of Cottage Grove, so nonresidents would be
contributing over 31 percent of the revenue. That’s data from the University of Minnesota study, an independent
study done by them that basically offers how much of nonresident-generated revenue there would be. We think
that number will grow over time, as the community grows, as industry grows in Co ttage Grove, etc.
• The average resident would be at about $23 per year in sales tax. Just for reference, it’s a half -cent for every
$1 spent, or 50 cents on $100.
Dockter said I think it’s important to know that you are probably spending your money on other Local Option Sales Tax
projects across the metro; so, this is just a quick map of communities that either have a Local Option Sales Tax in
place or are considering a Local Option Sales Tax in the coming election. So, you can see it covers the metro pretty
well, just for reference.
On the Ballot - One Project, Three Locations: Because the State requires that each project stands on its own merits,
there are three questions on the ballot: So, Hamlet Park, Mississippi Dunes Park, and River Oaks will each have a
separate question. It’s important to know that if the residents vote for just 1 of those 3 projects, it’s a half-percent sales
tax; if they vote for all 3, it’s still a half-percent sales tax. So, let’s just say Hamlet Park were to be approved, and the
other 2 projects were not approved, that revenue would obviously allow us to build the Hamlet Park project faster. Once
you pay for that project, once you get to that cost of $17 million, that tax is over, it goes away. So, if it takes 7 years, it
takes 7 years; if it takes 20 years, it takes 20 years. Obviously, after 25 years, if you don’t make it there, it still comes
off. Dockter said with that, I will stand for questions.
Frazier asked if the commissioners had any questions:
Fisher asked so if they’re all approved, is there a priority? Like, what’s going to get funded first, second, and third?
Dockter replied that’s a great question; yes, so we actually do have a 3-tiered plan. Unfortunately, I don’t have that with
me, but each park has three different tiers of how we would bond. The first bond would be about $16 million, and we
would fund $16 million of improvements across the 3 different projects. Obviously, if only 1 or 2 of the projects were
approved, then we’d have to reprioritize again. But, yes, we have a 3-tiered system on how those would get
implemented, trying to focus on what’s going to have the greatest impact and most immediate impact.
Bhat asked how many responses did you receive for the questions that you sent out or the survey that you conducted?
Dockter asked for the Reimagine Recreation survey? Bhat replied yes. Dockter replied for that particular survey, I want
to say we were at over 2,500, but then there was also a project that we did with the middle school, and that was another
700 or 800; so, it was kind of a hodgepodge of numbers, but it was over 3,000 responses. If you go back to the
community survey, I think with the community survey it was another 2,000 responses.
Rasmussen asked with the growth in Cottage Grove, has your budget been increasing with the tax base over the years
and we’re just not keeping up for these bigger projects, or how does that look? Dockter replied yes, so as the community
grows and the levy grows to allow us to keep maintaining the facilities, it just doesn’t allow for like the capital
investments. As an example, I’ve been here for almost 25 years, and I used to build playgrounds for $25,000, now
they’re $100,000, and those are dollars that just, you still have to pay for fuel, you still have to pay for labor, you still
have to pay for equipment, you still have to pay for seed and fertilizer. So, we’re able to keep up with those things, it’s
Planning Commission Minutes - Regular Meeting
August 26, 2024
Page 6 of 6
those big capital investments that we’re just starting to fall behind on. And the City does a great job; we have a couple
different funding mechanisms for some of those things, but it’s these big -ticket items that we’re struggling to kind of
keep maintaining.
Frazier asked if there were any further questions or comments, but there were none. Frazier thanked Dockter for being
here tonight and telling us about the plan.
Dockter said and if I may, there’s one more thing: I always like to say there are no secrets. Everything’s on the website,
which is phenomenal, there are layers and layers of information. And if there’s something on there that doesn’t look
right or doesn’t smell right or you have questions on, please call me or email me; I promise you I will tell you the answer.
At the end of the day, it’s up to the people to vote, and we’ll take it from there.
8. APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JULY 22, 2024
Rasmussen made a motion to approve the minutes of the July 22, 2024, Planning Commission meeting. Brittain
seconded. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote).
9. REPORTS
A. RECAP OF AUGUST CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
Schmitz provided a summary of actions taken at the August 7 and August 21, 2024, City Council meetings. Schmitz
asked Khambata if he had anything else to add.
Khambata said we, as a Council, are working our way through the annual budget, which is always a long process . I
just wanted to add with the Preserve.Play.Prosper. Plan, I had gotten several questions about why we’re doing it
through Local Option Sales Tax; and the best answer I could give is because as much we as a community enjoy our
parks, they are a nonessential service. So, just as we did with the Community Center that was proposed a couple years
ago, whenever a big capital expenditure like this comes up, that is a little bit difficult to classify as in frastructure or
roadwork, we always want to try to get the broadest feedback possible; and the best way to do that is by putting it on
the ballot. Khambata said that’s all I have to say about upcoming projects and budgets, but I’m open for questions, so
if anybody has any questions, please throw them at me.
Frazier said thank you; he asked if there were any questions for Council Member Khambata, but there were none.
B. RESPONSE TO PLANNING COMMISSION INQUIRIES – None.
C. PLANNING COMMISSION REQUESTS – None.

RE: City of Cottage Grove Comments on Network Now
Dear Mr. Harrington,
The City Council of the City of Cottage Grove would like to thank your team for presenting at the workshop
meeting on October 16. The comments the Council made at the workshop meeting regarding the draft
plan are summarized below:
• The Council is excited about the proposed micro zones. We would like to have a dedicated micro
zone to serve our growing business park.
• The Council emphasized the importance of continuing engagement with community stakeholders,
such as connecting with the local DARTS service to further provide effective local service.
• The Council suggested the following for continuing to improve the outlined service offerings:
o Connect the south side of Highway 61 as the proposed routes (301 & 363) begin and
terminate north of Highway 61. Recently, a large number of new homes have been
constructed south of Highway 61 and multiple senior living facilities are located south of
Highway 61.
o Connect more residents to Route 301 by proposing a loop route instead of the same route
traveling to and from the City of Woodbury.
o Further utilize the Park and Ride in Cottage Grove to provide service to regional events
such as sporting events. The Park and Ride has had great success for State Fair service
throughout the years.
o Expand the service area and days/hours of operation of the current Transit Link service to
include weekends and later hours on weekdays.
The Council thanks you for the opportunity to comment on Network Now and looks forward to working
with Metro Transit to progress transit in the City of Cottage Grove. If there is anything that we can do to
assist you in the City of Cottage Grove, please contact me at mbailey@cottagegrovemn.gov

Re: Draft Washington County 2025-2029 CIP
Dear Mr. Sandberg:
The partnership between the city and county is crucial for providing a great place for residents to live
and businesses to thrive. The City of Cottage Grove appreciates the continued collaboration and
relationship between our staffs as we work towards a shared goal of maintaining existing and
providing new amenities and infrastructure to meet the needs of our community. The City of Cottage
Grove especially appreciates this opportunity each year to review the County’s priorities for the next
5 years as shown in the draft 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and provide comments on
how those priorities may align with those of the City of Cottage Grove.
One of the key priorities for the Cottage Grove community as it relates to projects across the county
is the continued progress on the County 19A & 100th Street Realignment Project. While Cottage
Grove continues to aggressively pursue grant opportunities to close the funding gap, we are quickly
approaching the point of losing grants funds that have already been secured if the project does not
move forward. Currently, the Washington County CIP shows $3,000,000 in design in 2026. Cottage
Grove requests that a portion of the design funding be moved to 2025, which Cottage Grove is
committed to cost share in. It is critical that the final design and environmental process be completed,
so there is a clear and accurate understanding of project costs and challenges. Also, this will provide
more details on potential phasing options, to ensure the project can be started and grant funds can
be expended.
The City’s specific comments on the CIP are as follows:
Facility Projects
•Park Grove Library Improvements (BSD-PGL-2001)
$12,000,000 is included in the CIP for improvements to Park Grove Library, funded by 2027 bond
proceeds. With design beginning in late 2024, and construction from fall 2025 – fall 2026,
Cottage Grove requests to be involved throughout this process. This is an important facility in
our community, located in an area that has seen significant growth in high density housing in
recent years. Cottage Grove strongly supports improvements to this important facility, to ensure
it meets the needs of our community for generations to come.

Park Projects
•Ravine Regional Park Land Acquisition
As development continues to fill in west of CSAH 19 (Keats Ave), interest continues to grow for
new development on the east side of the road. Included in the 2017 Cottage Grove Ravine
Regional Park Master Plan is an expansion of the park boundary, east of CSAH 19 and south of
80th Street. Cottage Grove encourages Washington County to begin planning for land acquisition
following the approved master plan.
•Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park Lighted Trails (PARK-4006)
The City of Cottage Grove encourages continued investment into this park to expand its
recreational options, through additions like the lighted trails and possible future consideration of
winter multi-use trails. Cottage Grove would support a future state bonding request to fund
construction of lighted trails in Ravine Regional Park.
•Grey Cloud Island Regional Park Master Plan
Cottage Grove believes an updated Master Plan with approval from all stakeholders is critical
before any physical investment is made. To that end, the City of Cottage Grove is requesting that
Washington County complete a full revision of the 1994 Grey Cloud Island Regional Park Master
Plan. As Cottage Grove develops a large community park on the former Mississippi Dunes Golf
Course property, this will help to ensure City and County efforts to improve regional recreational
opportunities in this area complement each other and inefficiencies of service are avoided.
•Park and Trail Long-Range Planning (Park-1001)
The City of Cottage Grove would like to see funding towards a cooperative effort between the
City, County and State to begin master planning a trail route that connects Point Douglas Park
(via the Point Douglas Trail) to Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. We see that missing link
in the regional trail system as the next great opportunity for Washington County to expose
residents and visitors to our rivers, park spaces, greenways and the historic Highway 61 corridor.
Cottage Grove has started discussion with MnDOT on this topic, to look at opportunities to include
pedestrian facilities in future intersection improvements along the corridor. We believe a
collaborative effort between all three agencies is necessary to make this pedestrian link a reality.
Road and Bridge Projects
•CSAH 19 & 80th Street Intersection (RB-2667)
Included in the CIP for 2026 is an intersection improvement at the CSAH 19 & 80th Street
intersection. Cottage Grove is actively working with Washington County on the design of these
improvements. The City is supportive of continued grant applications to secure funding for the
project.
Mr. Wayne Sandberg
Draft Washington County 2025-2029 CIP
October 30, 2024
Page 3 of 4
•CSAH 13 – CSAH 20 to Hargis Parkway (RB-2672)
While this project is not located within Cottage Grove, it is located along a key connection point
with the City of Woodbury. Cottage Grove supports these improvements, currently programmed
for construction in 2027. Our team would greatly appreciate continuing to be involved in
discussions as design of the improvements along the County Highway 13 (Radio Drive) corridor
are determined.
•CR 74 – County 38 to Geneva Avenue (RB-2675)
Cottage Grove supports the proposed study and repairs to CR 74 and the adjacent ravine in the
City of Newport. This is a much-needed improvement, located along and west of the Cottage
Grove city limits. Over the years, Cottage Grove has made a concerted effort to work with
developers to reduce runoff rates to this ravine compared to the undeveloped condition. We
appreciate the collaboration on this project between Washington County, City of Newport, City of
Cottage Grove, and the South Washington Watershed District.
•CR 19A & 100th Street Realignment (RB-2685)
Cottage Grove continues to strongly support the implementation of the first phase of the SW
Arterial Project, through the realignment of CR 19A & 100th Street, and appreciates the ongoing
collaboration with Washington County. Cottage Grove continues to see rapid growth in this area
of the community, which further drives the need for this improvement. As stated in the introduction
to this letter, completing final design and environmental review in 2025 is critical to ensuring we
are prepared to begin construction and not lose out on the significant grant funding that has been
obtained to date.
•CSAH 19 – Dale Road to US Trunk Highway 61 (RB-2687)
With ongoing development in this area of Cottage Grove, and potential development interest
ranging from single family homes, multi-use, and commercial, this study is well timed. The
development of this study will position the County and City of Cottage Grove well for the additional
development by proactively planning for the future needs of this major corridor.
•CSAH 20 – CSAH 22 – Military Road (RB-2691)
Cottage Grove anticipates the area around Jamaica Avenue (CSAH 20) from 70th Street (CSAH
22) to Military Road to be fully developed in the coming years. Included in the CIP in 2028 is the
reconstruction of CSAH 20 (Jamaica Avenue) from 70th Street to Military Road. Cottage Grove
supports this project, including the planning and design efforts in 2025-2026. This will be a
positive improvement to this developing area and help ensure both vehicles and pedestrians are
able to travel in this area of the city efficiently and safely.
•CSAH 39 & TH 61 Interchange (RB-2815)
As Cottage Grove moves into the design phase of the 2026 80th Street Improvement Project from
Highway 61 to Ideal Avenue, collaboration with MnDOT and Washington County on the
interchange will be critical to make this a successful project. Cottage Grove appreciates both
agencies working with Cottage Grove to make this an all-encompassing improvement in this busy
area of the community.

•CSAH 22 – CSAH 19 to CSAH 13 Study (RB-2817)
In response to the draft 2024-2028 Washinton County CIP, Cottage Grove requested this study
be completed. The City appreciates the inclusion of $300,000 in 2027 to complete this effort and
guide future improvements along the corridor.
Records Management System (RMS) Appropriation
•Given the interminable problems with CentralSquare, the City of Cottage Grove would
support a 2026 appropriation request by Sherrif Dan Starry for an RMS/CAD/Mobile/JMS
replacement. Over the years, stakeholders’ concerns with CentralSquare’s systems have
been repeatedly voiced and now it is clearly apparent that a wholesale system change-out
is necessary. All agencies have worked hard together to make the current system
work. Additionally, we would advocate for a collaborative effort of all law enforcement
agencies to review RFPs for a cloud-based application that would allow each agency to
manage its own system while facilitating data sharing.
The City of Cottage Grove values our current and continued partnership with the
Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and we look forward to engaging in further discussions
and cooperative solutions.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Washington County Draft 2025-2029 CIP. Through
the continued coordination and cooperation with Washington County, we believe we have been able
to provide exceptional amenities, pedestrian facilities, and public infrastructure to increase our level
of service, improve the livability of our community, and promote business growth and expansion.
Successful projects are hinged on partnerships, the County 19A & 100th Street Realignment project
is a great example of this partnership. The ongoing collaboration and coordination between the City
and County will be critical as we work to deliver this key infrastructure project. We look forward to
continuing the collaboration with Washington County to meet the capital needs in our community.

RE: Joint Powers Agreement Between Washington County and the City of Cottage
Grove for a Mass Community Notification System
Discussion
In 2012, the City entered into an agreement with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office for
use of OnSolve CodeRED, a cloud-based software solution for mass community notification.
This system employs internet mapping capability for geographic targeting of calls, coupled
with a high-speed telephone calling system. The calling system is capable of delivering
customized pre-recorded emergency messages directly to mobile phones and home and
business landlines, whether answered by an individual or an answering machine. For more
than 25 years, CodeRED has helped organizations and agencies in the U.S. deliver
emergency alerts quickly and reliably to help save lives.
The City of Cottage Grove, specifically the Cottage Grove Public Safety Department, has
utilized CodeRED for numerous City events, emergency alerts, general notifications, and daily
scheduling operations. Additionally, CodeRED is capable of messaging all City employees
with routine notifications or in the event of an emergency.
Our current agreement with Washington County will expire on December 31, 2024, and the
County requested that we review the new agreement that will go into effect on January 1,
2025, and obtain the appropriate signatures. The agreement was forwarded to our City
Attorney, reviewed by Attorney Aaron Price, and approved to move forward.

RE: Updated Ambulance Purchase Authorization
Discussion
In June 2022, the Cottage Grove City Council authorized a purchase agreement to purchase a
new ambulance to replace an aging ambulance. The City Council authorized a purchase
agreement with an estimated cost of $305,000.00. At the time of the authorization, the
anticipated delivery was late 2024. The purchase had been an approved budget purchase, but
delays have moved back the delivery date.
Due to manufacturing delays and shortage of chassis available for ambulances, the Fire
Department had an opportunity to re-evaluate the previous ambulance design without further
delaying delivery time. This evaluation included opportunities for cost-savings and discussions
with Cottage Grove Public Works Mechanics on how truck design and chassis type could
improve maintenance costs and efficiencies.
After careful evaluation, with input from Public Works Mechanics and Firefighter/Paramedics
and EMTs, the Fire Department has decided to go to a “van” type chassis (Type 3 ambulance)
instead of the previously planned larger and more expensive truck-type chassis.
The change to the van-type chassis along with changes to other design elements has allowed
the cost of the ambulance to be decreased by approximately $12,000.00. The ambulance is
estimated to be delivered in December 2025.
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the sales quote for the purchase of a Ford E-450 Road
Rescue Ultramedic from Everest Emergency Vehicles with an estimated cost of $293,627.00
and an estimated delivery of December 2025.

To:Honorable Mayor and City Council
Jennifer Levitt, City Administrator
From:Peter J Koerner, Director of Public Safety
Nick Arrigoni, Deputy Fire Chief
Date:November 1, 2024
Subject: AUTHORIZATION TO ORDER 2025 TENDER
Introduction
During 2025 budget meetings, along with our fleet reduction plan to better utilize our current
apparatus and response model, we proposed ordering a tender, budgeted at $650,000.00.
This order is to replace the current 1996 Volvo Tanker/Pumper that has exceeded its end-of-
life service of 20 years. The tender replacement was also included in the financial
management plan and in the 2025 preliminary budget.
(1996 Volvo Tanker/Pumper)
Tenders (sometimes with water pumps) serve areas without fire hydrants to transport water to
the scene to support fire suppression. The current Cottage Grove tender holds 2,000 gallons of
water. We would purchase a tender with a water pump which would allow us to use it as a
secondary engine.
Through research, it has been determined that multiple vendors have “stock” chassis available.
The benefit of using a stock chassis is its availability. Most chassis are not available for 9 to14
months from time of order. The truck then needs to be built at its respective facility, making the
delivery time up to 24 months. It has been determined by the department that purchasing a
stock chassis will allow us to accept delivery of a truck sooner than any other option. A stock
chassis will also allow us to have a cost savings of up to 20% compared to a custom build.
This option also comes with everything we were planning to outfit the truck with.
Vendors only order a certain number of chassis a year. Once they are gone, most require you
to wait until the next year. To ensure the lowest price and availability of a chassis, it is
important that we place an order in 2024. If we are unable to place our order, we will drastically
delay the arrival of the tender.
The Fire Department evaluated the Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture and there
were no vendors or products that meet the needs of this purchase. Since Rosenbauer and the
City of Cottage Grove are members of Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Group which is a
statutory-compliant cooperative purchasing cooperative, the Fire Department and Rosenbauer
will utilize a contract through Sourcewell to purchase the tender.
Recommendation
Authorize the order of the 2025 Fire Tender utilizing the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing
Group.

Subject:Equipment-Fire Tender
Background
A reimbursement resolution is required to issue tax exempt bonds per regulations adopted by the
Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America when costs are to be reimbursed with the
bond issue. The City intends to issue debt for the equipment purchase of the Fire Tender as identified
in the 2025 Budget and Financial Management Plan. The bond issue will occur in 2025 and
expenditures may happen before the issuance of the debt, so a reimbursing resolution is needed. At
this time, the resolution lists the entire budget amount of the purchase, but the amount of the debt issue
will be lower due to savings from purchasing a “stock” chassis.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 2024-155, Declaring the official intent of the City of Cottage Grove to reimburse
certain expenditures from the proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City with respect to equipment
(Fire Tender).
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA
CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION 2024-155
DECLARING THE OFFICIAL INTENT OF THE CITY OF
COTTAGE GROVE TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN
EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS
TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY WITH RESPECT TO
EQUIPMENT (FIRE TENDER)
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
“Reimbursement Regulations”) providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are
met; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cottage Grove Minnesota (the “City”) expects to incur
certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily from sources other than bonds,
and reimbursed from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent (the
“Declaration”) to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City proposes to undertake the purchase of fire equipment within the
City (the “Equipment”).
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain
costs of the equipment from the proceeds of bonds in an estimated maximum principal
amount of $650,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures, costs of
issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section
1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any
original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the
proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds;
(b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue;
or (c) “preliminary expenditures” up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the
aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance or are reasonably expected by the
City to finance the Equipment for which the preliminary expenditures were incurred. The
term “preliminary expenditures” includes architectural, engineering, surveying, bond
issuance, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition,
construction or rehabilitation of the equipment, other than land acquisition, site
preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City
based on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The
anticipated original expenditures for the Equipment and the principal amount of the bonds
described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial
circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are,
or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise
set aside pursuant to the City’s budget or financial policies to pay such Equipment
expenditures.
5. This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota, this 6th day of
November 2024.

Question
Axel Ohman left out concrete for the brick ledge near grid B-1.1 to facilitate steel erection. Building the brick
ledge out to facilitate upcoming brick work. Would it be acceptable with the design team to lay 1 course of 8" CMU

Dear Mr. Burfeind:
Please find enclosed the Final Application for Payment for the referenced project. The quantities
completed to date have been reviewed and we hereby recommend approval for payment to Mineral
Services Plus, LLC in the amount of $29,062.15. This amount represents 100% of the work completed
with 0% held for retainage.
The original contract amount for the project was $166,052.50. The final project cost was $121,680.50.
The $44,372 savings was a result of six properties electing not to participate in the project and various
under-runs on other bid items.
If approved, please sign and forward payment along with a copy of the signed pay application to Mineral
Services Plus, LLC, retaining the original for City records.
Please contact me with any questions or comments. Thank you.
Sincerely,

RE: Gateway North Second Addition – Preliminary Plat, Final Plat
Proposal
KIN, Inc. (Kohl’s Department Stores, Applicant) has submitted an application for a Preliminary
and Final Plat at 7990 Hardwood Avenue South. The subject site is located adjacent to Culver’s,
U.S. Bank, and contains the recently constructed Chase Bank in the south parking lot. The Appli-
cant is proposing to split 1.03 acres in order for the constructed Chase Bank site to be within an
individual parcel.

Background
At their July 28, 2002, meeting, the City Council approved an 88,000 square foot Kohl’s store with
a future expansion of 20,000 square feet located on the east side of the building. In 2007, the City
Council approved a preliminary plat, site plan, and cond itional use permit for a 3,954 square foot
restaurant (Culver’s) with a drive-through to be constructed in the southwest corner of the Kohl’s
lot as shown below.
Culver’s Site
At their July 19, 2023, meeting, the City Council approved a site plan review and conditional use
permit for a 3,319 square foot bank (Chase Bank) with a drive -through to be constructed in the
south parking lot of the Kohls site as shown in the image below. Chase Bank was constructed in
2023, and a Certificate of Occupancy was issued on September 25, 2024.

Planning Commission Meeting
At their October 28, 2024, meeting the Planning Commission reviewed this request and held a
public hearing. There were no residents that provided public testimony. Below is a summary of
the Commission’s comments along with a summary response to the inquiry.
• The newly created parcel already has a constructed building on it, why can we collect park
dedication funds at this point?
o Park dedication is triggered at such time a new lot is created and developed. In this
scenario, Chase Bank was originally constructed within the existing Kohl’s parcel
and the construction of Chase Bank did not trigger park dedication. However, due
to the creation of the new 1.03-acre parcel in which the existing Chase Bank
structure is located park dedication can be collected. In addition, at the time of
original development of the Kohl’s site and structure park dedication funds were not
collected. Should park dedication funds have been collected at the time of original
development of the Kohl’s site, park dedication would not have been collected as a
part of this application.
Planning Considerations
Zoning and Comprehensive Plan
The subject site is zoned MU, Mixed Use District, and is guided as Mixed Use in the 2040 Com -
prehensive Plan. The request is consistent with the City’s zoning ordinance and land use plan.
The existing uses onsite are permitted and have appropriate approvals to operate.
Preliminary Plat and Final Plat
The application consists of a preliminary and final plat to split 1.03 acres of the southern parking
lot in order for Chase Bank to be located and operate on an individual parcel. As part of the
approvals for Chase Bank in 2023 (Resolution 2023 -092), the Applicant (Kohl’s) and Chase Bank
entered into a private ground lease agreement. The private agreement allowed for the new con -
struction of Chase Bank on the Kohl’s parcel and outlined maintenance requirements between
the two parcels. At the time of approvals in 2023, both the Chase Bank and Kohl’s site met all
applicable city ordinance standards. To note, per the conditions stipulated in Resolution 2023 -
092, a cross-parking agreement was required to be recorded due to multiple businesses being
located on one parcel. Given the proposed plat would result in Chase Bank operating on an indi -
vidual parcel, the cross-parking agreement is not necessary as both sites meet minimum parking
requirements. The proposed preliminary and final plat would create a parcel own ed by Chase
Bank who would then be responsible to uphold the conditions stipulated in Resolution 2023 -092.
The submitted preliminary and final plat as shown below indicates the proposed 1.03 -acre parcel
with Chase Bank and the proposed 7.89-acre parcel with Kohl’s. The Applicant has included the
standard 10-foot interior perimeter easement adjacent to each prop erty boundary of the newly
created parcel with Chase Bank.

Proposed Preliminary and Final Plat
Utilities
The subject property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The con -
structed site is connected to available sanitary, watermain, and storm sewer located adjacent to
the property. The water service is connected to the 12-inch trunk watermain to the west, the sewer
service connected to the 18-inch trunk sanitary sewer to the east, and the storm sewer connected
to the existing structure on the southern side of the private parking lot.
Surface Water Management/Grading
The site grading for the project has met the surface water management requirements established
by the State, Watershed District, and the City’s Surface Water Management Plan. Storm water is
managed through a combination of storm sewer and drainage swales. The storm sewer is con -
nected to the private storm sewer within the southern side of the private parking lot. The subject
property has used stormwater best management practices (BMPs) on -site. These BMPs are re-
quired to be maintained periodically to adhere to the surface water management requirements.
Therefore, a private maintenance agreement was executed betwe en the City and the underlying
property owner for maintenance of the private storm water system.
Park Dedication
City Code Title 10-4-3 requires park dedication be completed for all newly created lots. Park ded -
ication can be satisfied through land dedication or a cash in lieu of fee. The City Fee Table outlines
the cash in lieu of fee, which for a commercial subdivision is 4 percent of the land value. The
Applicant will be required to pay a park dedication fee of $9,604.04 which is 4 percent of the land
value for the newly created lot.

BROADBAND AWARE
Broadband Aware services provide you with information needed to make
informed decisions. Valuable information with community development
and infrastructure projects such as, street and utility upgrades.
Understanding the current and future needs of telecom munication
infrastructure requires experts in broadband to complete. Hometown
Fiber is here to help.
Broadband maps available today are completed with information provided by others and not
independently verified by industry professionals . The maps today are missing critical information such as
location of in-field infrastructure. This produces inaccurate information which is being used to make
multi-million-dollar decisions. If you do not know what infrastructure exists, how can you make good
decisions about future projects? Hometown Fiber goes beyond the resources publicly available . We
gather fundamental telecommunications information with our Broadband Aware services.
Our process begins with boots-on-the-ground observations and documentation of
existing key broadband assets begins the translation. Our in -field process achieves
independently verified and up-to-date information. Once we have concluded the field
work, our team reviews the data collected and identifies each serviceable location in
categories of phone (DSL), cable (COAX), and fiber optic . This thorough field analysis
of existing broadband technology gives you a photographic and technical review on
the condition of existing systems and provides the data in creating a better path
towards the goals.
Our team then compiles the information into an easy -to-use GIS
Interactive Map with logical layers showing infrastructure observed.
• GIS map layers of telecommunication infrastructure we observe
• Identify burial, aerial, phone, coax, fiber, and ownership
• GPS location and photographs of infrastructure
• Identify maintenance issues
• Host GIS map layers on-line for one year
• FCC challenges when discrepancies are observed
• City-Wide, high-level network design

To:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Jennifer Levitt, City Administrator
From:Brenda Malinowski, Finance Director
Date:November 6, 2024
Subject:Low Zone Water Tower
Background
A reimbursement resolution is required to issue tax exempt bonds per regulations adopted by the
Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America when costs are to be reimbursed with the
bond issue. The City intends to issue debt for the construction of the Low Zone Water Tower as
identified in the Capital Improvement Plan. The bond issue will occur in 2025 and expenditures may
happen before the issuance of the debt, so a reimbursing resolution is needed. At this time, the
resolution lists the entire amount of the project, but the amount of the debt issue will be lower due to
contributions for the construction from the Water Area Fund and Water Utility Fund.
Recommendation
Approve Resolution 2024-156, Declaring the official intent of the City of Cottage Grove to reimburse
certain expenditures from the proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City with respect to the
construction of the Low Zone Water Tower.

TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY WITH RESPECT TO THE
COTTAGE GROVE LOW ZONE WATER TOWER
PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
“Reimbursement Regulations”) providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to
reimburse prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are
met; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cottage Grove Minnesota (the “City”) expects to incur
certain expenditures that may be financed temporarily from sources other than bonds,
and reimbursed from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined to make this declaration of official intent (the
“Declaration”) to reimburse certain costs from proceeds of bonds in accordance with the
Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COTTAGE GROVE, MINNESOTA AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City proposes to undertake the Low Zone Water Tower Project within
the City (the “Project”).
2. The City reasonably expects to reimburse the expenditures made for certain
costs of the Project from the proceeds of bonds in an estimated maximum principal
amount of $6,000,000. All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures, costs of
issuance of the bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section
1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations.
3. This Declaration has been made not later than 60 days after payment of any
original expenditure to be subject to a reimbursement allocation with respect to the
proceeds of bonds, except for the following expenditures: (a) costs of issuance of bonds;
(b) costs in an amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5 percent of the proceeds of an issue;
or (c) “preliminary expenditures” up to an amount not in excess of 20 percent of the
aggregate issue price of the issue or issues that finance or are reasonably expected by the

“preliminary expenditures” includes architectural, engineering, surveying, bond issuance,
and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of acquisition, construction or
rehabilitation of a project, other than land acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs
incident to commencement of construction.
4. This Declaration is an expression of the reasonable expectations of the City
based on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The
anticipated original expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the bonds
described in paragraph 2 are consistent with the City’s budgetary and financial
circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of bonds to be issued by the City are,
or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise
set aside pursuant to the City’s budget or financial policies to pay such Project
expenditures.
5. This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Bids were opened for the Project stated above on October 24, 2024. Transmitted herewith is a
copy of the Bid Tabulation for your information and file. A copy will also be distributed to the
Bidders once the Project has been awarded.
There were a total of 3 Bids. The following summarizes the results of the Bids received:
Contractor Total Base Bid
Low Gerard Tank and Steel, Inc. $4,350,000.00
#2 Landmark Structures 1, LP $5,183,000.00
#3 Caldwell Tanks, Inc. $7,574,000.00
The low Bidder on the Project was Gerard Tank and Steel, Inc. with a Total Base Bid Amount of
$4,350,000.00. However, the low bidder does NOT meet the specified experience requirements.
The bid documents require that the contractor has successfully constructed at least three
composite elevated tanks at a minimum storage size of 1.5 million gallons. To date, Gerard Tank
and Steel has not successfully constructed any composite elevated tanks of that size. The
second bidder, Landmark Structures, meets or exceeds all the specified qualification
requirements with a bid of $5,183,000.
These bids compare to the Engineers Estimate of $5,985,000.00. These Bids have been reviewed
and found to be in order.
If the City Council wishes to award the Project to the Qualified low Bidder, then Landmark
Structures 1 LP should b e awarded the Project on the Total Base Bid in the Amount of
$5,183,000.00 .
