BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING
CITY OF FRIDLEY
APRIL 22, 2013
The Board of Appeal and Equalization meeting for the City of Fridley was called to order by
Mayor Lund at 7:05 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Mayor Lund led the Council and audience in the Pledge of
Allegiance to the flag.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Mayor Lund
Councilmember Barnette
Councilmember Saefke
Councilmember Varichak
Councilmember Bolkcom
OTHERS PRESENT:
Darin Nelson, Interim City Manager
James Kosluchar, Public Works Director
Darcy Erickson, City Attorney
Deb Skogen, City Planner
Mary Smith, City Assessor
Patrick Maghrak, Appraiser
Philip Vande Kamp, Stone Trail, LLC
Mary Boyle, Anoka County
Mary Smith
, City Assessor, stated this meeting is held in accordance with State Statute 274.01.
The purpose of the Board is to establish a consistent appeal procedure. Only appeals for the
January 2, 2013, valuation or classification may be made. The Board has three possible courses
of action. These are to affirm, reduce or increase the current value based on information
presented. If upon reaching a decision, the property owner feels that the Board did not resolve
their concerns, they may bring their case to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization which
will be held on June 17 at 6 p.m.
Ms. Smith
reviewed the responsibilities of the Board:
•Have a majority of the members in attendance to have a quorum.
•There must be at least one member who has attended an appeals and equalization course
approved by the Commissioner of Revenue within the last four years.
•If a property is omitted from the tax rolls, it may be added by the Board.
•The Board may only increase or decrease individual properties.
•If the Board makes reductions to individual properties, the amount of the reduction
cannot exceed 1% of the City-wide aggregate assessment.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 2
•If the Board finds a case of under valuation, it may raise the valuation of the property, but
it must first notify the owner.
•The Board must complete and adjourn within twenty days from the time it convened.
Ms. Smith
stated the procedure is to hear property owners that are present and accept any
information provided and direct staff to review property if they have not already. Any written
appeals will be read once the property owners who are present have completed their appeal.
Ms. Smith
reviewed the 2013 Assessment. There were 107 qualified residential sales that
occurred in Fridley from October 1, 2011, through September 30, 2012. These sales involved
single family homes, townhomes, double bungalows and condominiums. These are the sales that
were used by the State for the Sales Ratio Study.
Ms. Smith
stated that to bring the assessment within the State’s recommended range of 90 to
105%, there were decreases in structure and land values of most property types. Single family
structure rates in the lower grades were reduced by 4 %. Townhomes had rate reductions from 2
to 7% depending on style. Condo rates were down from 10 to 20% depending on style. An
average rate of decline would be deceiving since they varied so much from style and type of
home.
Ms. Smith
stated besides structure rates decreasing, most single family land zones required a
decrease in land value also. The townhome and condo land zones were also subject to
significant decreases. This created an average decrease of 5to 6% of total residential value. This
is about half the rate of decline from the previous assessment.
Ms. Smith
stated a study of commercial and industrial sales within the county indicated that
values were decreasing. These properties experienced a reduction of 4 to 5% in structure value.
This compares to last year’s decrease of 8%. As a result of sales within Anoka County,
adjustments were made to apartments according to the number of units. The adjustments ranged
from a decrease of 2 to 4%. These reductions brought the 2013 assessment within the State and
County’s recommended ratio.
Ms. Smith
reviewed the following appeals:
Appeal 1:
110 Mississippi Pl NE - Pin No. 15-30-24-42-0108
2013 EMV: $129,600
After review of the subject property and other comparable sales it is staffs’
recommendation that the original EMV of $129,600 be affirmed.
Appeal 2:
100 Mississippi Pl NE - Pin No. 15-30-24-42-0109
2013 EMV: $108,400
After review of the subject property and other comparable sales it is staffs’
recommendation that the original EMV of $108,400 be affirmed.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 3
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked about the last paragraph on Page 11 where it talks about sales.
It says the first six months of 2013 prices were up 8%. She asked if sales really increased or if
people were putting homes up for sale at a lower value in 2012.
Ms. Smith
replied that the sale prices are up 8.2%.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if the increase was because homes were worth more or the
housing market was better.
Darin Nelson,
Interim City Manager, noted that is the sale price, not the market value.
Ms. Smith
said that looking at the first six months this year to last year, it is up 8.2%.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked why sales are up.
Mr. Nelson
replied that they are seeing a rebound in the market, there are fewer homes on the
market and that is driving up the price.
Councilmember Varichak
added that there are also fewer foreclosures.
Councilmember Bolkcom
thought foreclosures were not included in the assessed value.
Ms. Smith
said that they use arm’s length transaction traditional sales.
Philip Vande Kamp,
representing Stone Trail, LLC, handed out information to Council and
reviewed the information in detail. 110 and 100 Mississippi Place are two separate pins but were
sold together. The property is average quality rental with some significant wear and tear.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked for the size of the two bedrooms.
Mr. Vande Kamp
answered 10 x 9.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked what average quality rental meant.
Mr. Vande Kamp
replied that it is not superior quality; the paint was not done completely, there
are nicks in the walls, damage in the walls that is painted over, and linoleum is worn. It is not an
upscale property.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said the property is located on the corner of Mississippi Place and East River
Road which is a very busy intersection. The neighborhood consists of rental properties, multi-
family rental and most are four-plex units. The assessed value of a four-plex is around $212,000
to $220,000. The assessed value of his property, both units, is $259,100. This value includes a
20% reduction because of damage.
Councilmember Bolkcom
noted that the amenities of the other properties are unknown.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 4
Mr. Vande Kamp
said all he knew is that the four-plex property had two bedrooms and one
bath.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said that he purchased the property of 100 and 110 Mississippi Place for
$157,850. The property was on the market for at least six months and it was a bank owned
property at time of purchase. Currently, the assessed value of 110 Mississippi Place is $129,600
which is 64% more than the sold price of $78,900. 100 Mississippi Place was assessed at
$129,600 less 20% for condition or $108,400. That 20% deduction will go away once the
property is reconditioned and improved. Unfortunately there were few twin homes sold and
there were none in Fridley. There was only one fair market sale in Coon Rapids included on the
analysis for $103,500 and this home is not in a neighborhood similar to Mississippi Place.
Mayor Lund
noted that the Coon Rapids home was adjusted in value for that reason.
Mr. Vande Kamp
asked what geographic area should be used and are the properties comparable
to Fridley and Mississippi Place. None of the properties used were from Fridley. They came
from Blaine, Lexington and Coon Rapids. Six comparables were used and the first three were
traditional sales and others were bank or distressed sales. If the analysis is based on arm’s length
transaction traditional sales then why are distressed sales used? He asked why the subject
property was not used.
Mayor Lund
said if the foreclosure comparables were removed, the average would go up and
make the assessment even higher.
Mr. Vande Kamp
replied possibly, but the point is, there are no comparable properties.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked what Mr. Vande Kamp suggested to use for comparables.
Mr. Vande Kamp
replied Columbia Heights, which is two miles away. The first comparable is
a much higher rate property.
Councilmember Bolkcom
noted that the subject property had 700 more square feet and a
$10,000 adjustment was made for superior condition.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said there are no comparable properties, which is why values like this are
entered.
Patrick Maghrak, Appraiser,
said he has been out and looked at the subject property. He
discussed with Mr. Vande Kamp the cost to fix things with 100 Mississippi Place and said it
would take about $20,000 to fix everything. He has taken careful notes of the condition, water
damage and talked about it with Mr. Vande Kamp.
Mr. Vande Kamp
replied that there are no comparable properties which is why adjustments are
made.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 5
Mr. Maghrak
said finding comparables is difficult. There are 858 twin homes in the County,
with 50 sales, of which 4 were qualified sales. This type of home is a problematic property type
because they are unique. The reason four-plex properties cannot be used as comparables is
because you cannot sell off one unit at a time. It is an advantage to have two units you have
control over. You can sell one side or the other.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said that is the point he is trying to make. There are no comparable
properties. What is reasonable and balanced? Is a 64% increase reasonable and balanced?
When he purchased this property, there were six offers and his was the highest. The sale was
close to the market price. He suggested using a proposed value of 19.6% higher than the
foreclosed price, making a fair market value of $188,728 or $94,364 for each side. This does not
include the 20% reduction for condition.
Mr. Maghrak
noted at the time of the sale, one unit was available and the agent indicated that
the second unit was available but was not on the market yet to anyone else. The petitioner is
correct that comparables are difficult. He noted that comparables 1-3 are smaller than the subject
property and finding something as new as the subject property was challenging. There is little
weight on comparables 4 through 6. Comparable 5 is the same builder, nearly identical and next
to a noise wall on Highway 10, also located in the same kind of cul-de-sac. It is not a perfect
situation. There are 858 twin homes in the County, 36 are newer than the subject property and
15 are larger than the subject property. Because of the challenging property, we have to go
where traditional sales take us.
Mayor Lund
asked about using the rental income approach.
Mr. Maghrak
said it could be done, but they would have to go to a deeper level.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said that if they used rental, the four-plex generates more rent than the two
units and is assessed at a lower value.
Mr. Maghrak
asked what the monthly rent was on the subject property.
Mr. Vande Kamp
replied $1,230 to $1,250 for each side.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if Ms. Smith had anything to add from her presentation. She
did not think that because this property is not in a single family neighborhood and is next to a
four-plex, the value would decrease. It is near a convenience store, a bus station and a gas
station. Those types of things are appealing to someone wanting to rent this property.
Mr. Maghrak
agreed that access to amenities matter to the owner/occupant. Adjustments were
made for some properties based on location. Comparable 3 was adjusted down for location.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if there were any comparables in Columbia Heights.
BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 6
Mr. Maghrak
said that there is a unit in Columbia Heights that is very similar but it has not
sold. That property is assessed at $161,900 per unit. It is about the same size, style, same
number of bedrooms and bathrooms and was built in 2002.
Mr. Vande Kamp
noted that if it sold, it would not be in the same time period.
Mayor Lund
said that he has a similar property in New Brighton in a comparable area. It is a
rental twin home, two bedrooms per side, one bathroom, and smaller square footage of 960 per
side where the subject property is at 1,760 per side, three bedrooms, and two and a half bath. His
rent is $950, subject property is $1,250. His property has similar amenities like gas station, strip
mall, rental property to the south, commercial rental to the north and residential property behind.
He received a market appraisal and with four comparables. His property was valued at $186,200
or $93,500 each side. This is a lower value than the subject property but his is not as large. He
thinks the assessed value is pretty accurate and the adjustment is fair because of the damage.
Mr. Vande Kamp
noted that Mayor Lund compared to valuations in 2013, and this assessment
was to use values that occurred from October, 2011, through September, 2012.
Mayor Lund
noted that his market valuation for next year is identical.
Mr. Vande Kamp
said his property is for sale at $128,000 each side; which is a 64% return on
his investment in less than seven months.
Mayor Lund
said that Mr. Vande Kamp could pay to have an appraisal done. He said Mr.
Vande Kamp did a good job with his research but he thought the assessed value was fair. A bank
sale price is not looking at fair market value at the time of sale.
Mr. Vande Kamp
asked if the rental approach was used if the four-plex next door could be
used.
Mayor Lund
said that would not be a fair assessment.
Ms. Smith
agreed that you could not compare a four-plex to a twin home. A four-plex has three
other neighbors and the subject property collects over $1,000 in rent per side and has more
square footage.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if it would be worth reviewing this property any differently.
Mr. Maghrak
replied that they would not learn anything new. The Statute requires valuing the
properties as individual units and the income approach will not change anything. There is very
limited data, and this property has been compared to traditional sales similar to size and age.
The petitioner got a great deal on the purchase of this property. The value cannot be changed, as
it would bring harm to others who own twin homes in Anoka County.
MOTION
by Councilmember Saefke to affirm the value of 110 Mississippi Place NE at
$129,600 and 100 Mississippi Place NE at $108,400. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

ordinance on March 25, with a subsequent first reading held at the council meeting on April 8.
There were no recommended changes from the public hearing to the first or second readings. If
the second reading is held, the ordinance will be published and become effective 90 days after

2.Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Fridley City Charter, Chapter 5,
Initiative, Referendum and Recall.
Darin Nelson,
Interim City Manager, stated a public hearing was held on this proposed
ordinance on March 25, with a subsequent first reading held at the council meeting on April 8.
At the public hearing, Council requested a few revisions to the language of the amendment. The
Charter Commission met on April 1 and concurred with the recommendations and returned the
ordinance to the City Council for its first reading on April 8. There were no recommended
changes from the first to second readings. If the second reading is held, the ordinance will be
published and become effective 90 days after publication. Staff recommends holding the second
reading of the proposed ordinance.

NEW BUSINESS:
3.Resolution Authorizing Final Changes in Appropriations for the General Fund, Special
Revenue Funds, and the Capital Equipment Fund for the Year Ended 2012.
Darin Nelson,
Interim City Manager, stated that these changes are similar to those that staff has
brought to Council for the past number of years as we prepare to publish the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR). In December, the Council approved all donations and
sponsorships for the year. The budget adjustments found on the top half of page 15 of tonight’s
agenda account for this activity within the General Fund and the Springbrook Nature Center
Special Revenue Fund. The changes noted on the bottom of page 15 are adjustments for
unbudgeted activity and variance elimination. The adjustments include:
Additional Section 8 grant funding which reimburses the City for inspections performed
by staff.
Activity within the Drug/Gambling Forfeiture fund that is not part of the normal
budgeting process.
The Springbrook Nature Center adjustments reflect the spending of a 2011 grant for
programming, along with appropriating funds for the Nature Center’s share of the Berm
Stabilization Project, which is financed through existing fund balance.
The last adjustment is to the Capital Equipment Fund, which reflects the final payment on
the hoist at the Public Works Facility.
Due to installation issues, the final payment on the hoist was withheld until the project
met specifications. The remaining budget allotment was not carried forward from 2010,
thus the need to revise the 2012 budget.
Staff recommends Council’s approval.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2013-24
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 3
4.Motion to Approve Disbursement of the Twin Cities Gateway Community Grant Funds
and Authorize Execution of 2013 Member City Marketing Grant Agreement.
Darin Nelson,
Interim City Manager, stated Fridley is a member of Twin Cities Gateway (TCG),
a tourism bureau which collects a 3% lodging tax on hotel/motel properties. For 2012, TCG
collected $719,716 in lodging tax revenue. This was 7% more than projected. Of that amount,
Fridley properties contributed approximately $35,000 or 4.9% of the total revenue. TCG
provides each member city with a $3,000 marketing grant. In addition, TCG provides an
incremental grant based on a percentage of the lodging tax each city brought forward in the
previous year. Based on that, the City of Fridley will receive $5,373 in Community Grant funds
for 2013.
Mr. Nelson
stated that the grant must be used for the purpose of marketing and promoting the
City as a tourist or convention center. In other words, the grant should be used to increase
visitation into and throughout the City. TCG requires the cities to complete a grant agreement
which defines how the funds may be used. In addition to this year’s grant, the City has $1,226
remaining from last year’s grant for a total of $6,599. The allocations include: Spring Fling,
‘49er Days, Pumpkin Night in the Park, Winterfest, ROCKS summer program, and SNC Nature
Camps. Staff recommends Council’s approval.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
5.Appointment: Nature Center Director.
Darin Nelson,
Interim City Manager, stated staff is recommending the appointment of Michael
Maher to the position of Springbrook Nature Center Director, effective May 1, 2013. Mr. Maher
is a graduate of Penn State University and is currently the Executive Director of the Manitowoc
County Historical Society in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Mr. Maher has also worked as the
Curriculum Coordinator at the Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro,
Minnesota. Mr. Maher’s background in environmental education and his experience as an

NEW BUSINESS:
4. Motion to Approve Disbursement of the Twin Cities Gateway Community Grant
Funds and Authorize Execution of 2013 Member City Marketing Grant Agreement.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if another organization wanted to promote the city, could they
use the funds, or were the funds just for something the City sponsored.
Deb Skogen,
City Clerk, replied this would be funds for the City to use. The Twin Cities
Gateway has a Regional Grant that others can apply for as long as they are promoting the city in
a regional type event. Funds could be used to market an event in the Star Tribune, radio or
magazine for example. The ROCKS program will be marketed in the Twin Cities to bring in
more kids outside of Fridley into this program. That extra money helps to promote the ROCKS
program and the City of Fridley.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said the funds can only be used to promote programs by the City.
Ms. Skogen
said that other organizations can apply for these funds; they would have to write a
letter to the city. There is $150,000 in funds available in the Regional Grant to promote events
like the Anoka River Fest in July.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if organizations that come to the City to host events that
promote the City can ask for this money. How do others know they can apply for this funding?
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 5
Ms. Skogen
stated that Twin Cities Gateway has a website to access information about the
Regional Grant.
Mayor Lund
added that the website is www.tcgateway.com.
Councilmember Varichak
thought the website should be listed on Fridley’s website so people
can look at the different things the city sponsors.
Ms. Skogen
said there is a link on the visitor’s tab.

8.Resolution Ordering Plans and Advertisement for Bids: Safe Routes to School Project
No. ST2011-21.
Jim Kosluchar,
Public Works Director, stated Fridley’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update
identified action steps to encourage the use of trails, bike lanes, or sidewalks near schools. The
federally-funded Safe Routes to Schools program administered by MnDOT funds such
improvements. The Fridley, in conjunction with ISD 14, received funding on a 2011 request for
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funding. The program provides funding for design and
construction of infrastructure improvements. This work includes enhancements for pedestrians
and cyclists near three Fridley Schools: Fridley Middle, Hayes Elementary, and Robert Louis
Stevenson Elementary.
Mr. Kosluchar
reviewed the following enhancements:
Fridley Middle School
A high-visibility crossing using a set of enhanced lighted stop signs at the intersection of
st
61 Avenue and West Moore Lake Drive
Two bicycle enclosures including bicycle racks, fencing, and security cameras adjacent to
the school
Trail connection to the bicycle enclosure
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if there would be any liability on the City or school if a bike
was stolen.
Darcy Erickson,
City Attorney, noted students should bring a lock for their bike. This grant
will sustain the fence around the bike rack. The fence does not create a guarantee by the City or
the school that bikes will not be stolen.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 6
Mr. Kosluchar
continued:
Hayes Elem. School Enhancements
Permanent Driver Speed Feedback Signs on Mississippi Street near Hayes Elementary
th
Addition of pedestrian walks and crossing in the elongated intersection at 67 Avenue
and Monroe Street
Councilmember Barnette
stated Hayes Elementary School does not allow parents to come in
the parking lot to pick up students. This creates a traffic problem with cars parked on the roads.
th
Another concern is from several neighbors on the corner of 67 and Monroe on the southeast
side where the sidewalk is being proposed. The neighbors say that very few students come from
the east that would use that side of the sidewalk. One owner has a sprinkler system and trees in
that area. Construction could possibly affect his sprinkler system. If this goes through, there
may be a petition from some neighbors to stop that portion of the sidewalk.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said at this time, it may not used but they do encourage students to
walk or bike to school. In the future, the residency could change, bringing more students to that
area.
Mr. Kosluchar
said he met with the owners who have concerns and they had a good discussion.
They brought forth some valid points and have a concern for the value investment being made if
it does not get used. There is a desire for sidewalks generally throughout the neighborhood. The
main issue with that intersection is that it is an elongated single intersection. There is no refuge
area for students and it is not easily visible from a vehicle turning into that intersection.
Mr. Kosluchar
continued:
RLS Elem. School Enhancements
Reconstruction of a path connecting the school with River Edge Way to include
pedestrian level lighting and crossing signage
Construction of a shared-use path from the school to the Anoka County Trail near Island
Park Drive
Mr. Kosluchar
said the design will be partially reimbursed, with the main effort in-house with
outside assistance. There will be regular reviews with ISD staff. Staff has also reviewed
th
concerns from the residents near 67 and Monroe who have concerns about impacts and value of
improvements. There will also be a series of MnDOT approvals.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the project budget is estimated to cost $108,840. The SRTS funding
(Federal) will be $94,040 and the City’s MSAS will provide a match of the additional estimated
$14,800. The City will maintain right-of-way elements and ISD 14 will maintain work within
their grounds. Staff recommends Council’s approval. If approved tonight, a letting date in June
will be set and the project will be advertised with the goal of construction this summer.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 7
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked who is responsible to keep the equipment maintained or
replace the equipment if it breaks.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied the equipment is under warranty for 5to 10 years. If a vehicle knocked
down the sign it could be a loss. Funds will have to be set aside for replacement and
maintenance. The City maintains stop signs, driver feedback signs and lighting on Stevenson.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked who maintains the bike enclosure and cameras.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied it is on the school grounds so the school would maintain that.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if there were any issues with any of this with the County.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied the County is aware of this project and they want to be part of the
selection in the signs so they are consistent with other signage throughout the County.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said if it does not cost a lot more money, a feedback sign should be
selected that collects data.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked what would happen if neighbors came in with a petition after
this project has already gone out for bids. Has this been approved by someone else besides
Council? If changes are made, what happens to the plan that was already approved?
Mr. Kosluchar
replied the grant was approved. Staff is aware from the school prospective there
is a safety concern, so this project is merited. It may be inconvenient if an irrigation system
needs to be moved, but there will be no cost to the owner. If a tree is in the boulevard it has to
come down. There is a safety concern that has been identified by the school. We agree, and this
is the best solution for it.
MOTION
by Councilmember Saefketo adopt Resolution No. 2013-25. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
9.Receive Bids and Award Base Bid for the Springbrook Nature Center Weir Restoration
Project No. 410
Jim Kosluchar,
Public Works Director, stated there are three existing weirs (small dams) at the
Springbrook Nature Center along Springbrook Creek. These maintain habitat and provide water
quality and control of storm water. The weirs were constructed in the 1980s and are of steel
sheet pile construction with a 6-foot opening. The weirs have been subject to severe corrosion.
Weir B has had piping failure.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the Six Cities WMO indicated support for this project. Fridley retained
WSB & Associates for design services, as they have worked in the SNC on a Clean Water
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 8
Partnership funded project in the early 2000s. The replacement of the weirs was chosen as the
preferred option for repair. It is recommended to replace the weirs. Options considered include
three types of materials: steel, concrete, and vinyl-composite. Vinyl-composite was chosen as
the preferred material, due to corrosion resistance and low-cost.
Mr. Kosluchar
stated the project estimate was $139,200 to replace all three weirs. The amount
of $10,000 is estimated for the under drain at Weir C to allow ease of drawdown and control of
beaver dams. The City of Fridley applied for a Clean Water Fund grant in 2011, but we were
unsuccessful in securing funding from this source.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the project was bid early this year when permitting for the project was
approved. Bids were opened on March 1, 2013 and Sunram Construction of Corcoran,
Minnesota, provided the low base bid of $116,550.00. Sunram also provided a bid for the under
drain of $16,205.00. Substantial completion is required by February 2014. Final completion,
including restoration, is required by May 2014. It is anticipated the contractor will start work in
November or December of 2013.
Mr. Kosluchar
said the City had an allocation of $60,000 for the project in its Storm Water
Capital Improvement Fund. With the assistance of the Coon Creek Watershed District, we are
requesting a commitment from the Cities of Coon Rapids, Blaine, and Spring Lake Park per the
prior support of the Six Cities WMO. Under a previous cost-share formula established for the
CWP project, Fridley was responsible for 38% of the cost. Under a similar formula, the cost to
Fridley would be $44,531. Fridley will reallocate 2014 Storm Water CIP funds for costs not
covered by project partners.
Mr. Kosluchar
said staff recommends Council move to receive the bids per the attached
tabulation and award the base bid for the Springbrook Nature Center Weir Project 410 to Sunram
Construction of Corcoran, Minnesota, in the amount of $116,550.00. If approved tonight,
contracts for the work will be signed, and a work schedule will be developed. Arrangements for
funding from project partners will be pursued. Also note the front page tabulation summary
shows the entire project and the tabulation detail is on the second page.
Darcy Erickson,
City Attorney, added that the tabulation was for both the base bid and the
additional project. Tonight Council is only awarding the base bid that is explained better on the
abstract page.
Mayor Lund
said that the amount approved is $116,550. Council is not recommending the
ultimate bid of the storm sewer bypass.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied that is correct; the bid came in too high.
Mayor Lund
asked if it would be put in at a later date.
Mr. Kosluchar
answered no.
Councilmember Barnette
noted that the beavers have been working up there.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2013 PAGE 9
Mr. Kosluchar
replied that one dam has been removed.
Councilmember Bolkcom
noted that this has nothing to do with the Springbrook Nature Center;
this has to do with storm water.
Mr. Kosluchar
replied correct. The storm water is on City park property that we are trying to
protect.
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcomto receive bids and award the base bid for the
Springbrook Nature Center Weir Restoration Project No. 410, and award the contract to Sunram

1. ACTION ITEM
Consideration of Adjustment to Boundary of TIF Redevelopment Project Area.
Scott Hickok
, Community Development Director, stated this is what would be defined as an adjustment
of a boundary of redevelopment project area. The 2007 and 2008 Minnesota legislature approved
creating the Northstar Transit TIF district. This was provided for the City to be able to pay for public
improvements around the Northstar station area. This was a very good thing for the City of Fridley in
that it was the first transit TIF district along the Northstar line. In fact it still is the only one of its sort
along the Northstar line. It is designed to allow the City to be able to take the increment from new
development and to reinvest that in infrastructure improvements in this area to make it a very solid
transit-oriented district, and this is certainly a generous area where that tax increment district has been
able to be defined.
Mr. Hickok
stated the City and the Authority have a single project area and a single development
program. Every time a new tax increment finance district is created, it is done inside the program. It does
allow the Authority to spend its resources anywhere within the project area and not just within a specific
tax increment district. The project area is different from the TIF district itself.
Mr. Hickok
stated the existing boundary of the redevelopment project area does not include three of the
parcels in the Minnesota state legislature’s allowed area of the Northstar transit station TIF district. In
other words, there is a discrepancy that is shown on the maps described as follows. There is the existing
boundary along East River Road and where you need to focus is up by Stevenson Elementary School
along East River road. The parcels that are in that area were to be included but are not. Therefore, the
State legislature had allowed the City to have a boundary that looks like the new boundary; but the City’s
existing boundary failed in this one area.
Mr. Hickok
stated statute requires a review by the Planning Commission to determine what the inclusion
of the parcels are in keeping with the City’s overall development goals. A public hearing before the City
Planning Commission
April 17, 2013
Page 2 of 3
Council is also required to change the boundary officially and have that existing redevelopment area then
defined in that way.
Mr. Hickok
stated staff’s recommendation is for the Planning Commission approve the resolution
adjusting the boundary of the TIF Project Area No. 1 to include all parcels in the Northstar transit station
district. A public hearing and final action on this item will take place before the City Council on May 6,
2013.
Vice Chairperson Oquist
asked, who drew the original boundary of the little parcel that is to be
included?
Paul Bolin,
Assistant HRA Director, replied, the original boundary was done back in the early 1980’s
when the City started development tax increment districts. At that time there was no need or the foresight
to see that 25-30 years down the road they would have this Northstar transit district. In the early 1980’s it
was the planner’s and the tax increment advisor’s guess as to which parts of the City may need some tax
increment assistance down the road.
Commissioner Sielaff
asked this was a new one that was determined in the legislature, correct?
Mr. Bolin
replied, correct. Back in the early 1980’s when the City started setting up tax increment
districts, they looked at the larger map of the City and the bulk of the City is included in those blue lines.
If you look at the TIF plans for any of the City’s tax increment districts, they all refer to the same project
area. The City takes the tax increment from the smaller specific district but are able to spend those funds
anywhere within that project area.
Vice Chairperson Oquist
asked, as he understands it, the City is allowed to make this change without
going back to the State?
Mr. Bolin
replied, yes.
MOTION
by Commissioner Dunham to recommend approval of a resolution to adjust the boundary of
the TIF Project Area #1 to include all parcels in the Northstar Transit Station District. Seconded by
Commissioner Sielaff.

Mr. Hickok
stated the Paul Hyde project at the BAE site is a very important project the Commission is
going to be seeing much of. The development of this site is going to be tremendous in terms of job
creation and value creation. It will be an aesthetically pleasing project as well which is very typical of
this developer’s work. It is really a great match between a developer who knows a lot about as much as
any one of probably the best environmental experts out there matched with land that can use that
voluntary clean-up. It is a very good thing for the City. The Commission being here tonight and hosting
it in the same room was very helpful.
Mr. Hickok
stated they may have noticed the 19-unit memory care addition has been built over on the
Old Central project and is turning out very nice. The landscaping all has yet to be completed. They are
working on just some final finishing details on that. Staff is very excited to see that project finish up.
Mr. Hickok
stated staff is hearing the final plat on the Columbia Arena is going to be coming in probably
in May. City staff has been working on the final details with the developer on easements for access into
the fire training area and Anoka County’s trail that goes through there. For the most part their plat is
pretty well ready to approve. The developer has been kind of close to the vest on the start of construction
as to what actual details are in terms of start times, etc. However, this plat is a big step moving forward
towards he thinks eventually getting that project completed. The plat piece of it at least will probably be
coming back and completed in May. The hold-up is not on the City’s end. The developer is who is
driving that.

Re: School Resource Officer Program Agreement
This memo is written in support of the City’s acceptance of the School Resource Officer Program
Agreement with Independent School District #14 covering the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school
terms.
The School District will fund a portion of the salary and benefits for two licensed police officers
assigned as School Resource Officers (SROs).
2013-14$94,660
For the school term the amount shall be .
2014-15$94,660
For the school term the amount shall be .
The funding formula is based on the average cost to the City in total compensation (salary &
benefits) for two SROs spread over the two-term period of the agreement.
Funding in the previous agreement covering the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school terms specified
different amounts for each term ($79,780 for the first term and $89,752 for the second term)
because during the first two months of the first term only one officer was assigned to SRO duty.
School District officials and the City of Fridley Public Safety Director will continue to work
together to specify the days and hours to be worked by the SROs under this agreement during the
school terms.
The agreement runs through the end of the 2014-2015 school term. The City or the School District
may exercise a 30-day cancellation clause at any time. A copy of the agreement is attached for
review. The agreement has been reviewed by Dr. Peggy Flathmann, District #14 School
Superintendent, and will be presented to the School Board for approval.
Staff recommends approval of the School Resource Officer Program agreement.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 6, 2013
TO: Darin R. Nelson, Interim City Manager PW13-024
FROM: James P. Kosluchar, Public Works Director
DATE: May 2, 2013
SUBJECT: Approve Mini Grant Agreement with MWMO for Sylvan Hills Raingarden Retrofit
As part of our 2009 Street Reconstruction Project, a multi-leg angular intersection at
Jupiter/Mercury/Rainbow Drives was reconfigured. As part of this reconfiguration, two
raingardens were installed, on the east and west side of the intersection, respectively. These
infiltration features were added to 1) provide a water quality benefit, and 2) to reduce costs
relating to reconfiguration of the storm sewer system in the intersection. A large amount of
pavement area was removed as well through this reconfiguration, and the intersection provides
for reduced vehicular speeds through the neighborhood.
While the eastern raingarden has performed well, the western raingarden has not met
anticipated performance. This is mainly due to 1) no pretreatment, and 2) poor underlying soils.
In 2012, the Anoka Conservation District (Anoka Conservation District) provided an analysis
and plans for retrofit of this raingarden.
In December 2013, the City of Fridley applied for, and was awarded a Mini Grant through the
Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) Stewardship Fund Program for
retrofit of this raingarden in accordance with the plans prepared by ACD. Through this MWMO
program, Mini Grants of up to $2,000 are available for short-term projects or small projects
completed by community groups. Projects funded through a Mini Grant should accomplish one,
or, ideally both of these goals: 1) Improve water quality or improve water and natural resource
management, and 2) Build community understanding, knowledge, and initiative related to water
and natural resource issues and solutions.
The City of Fridley received a grant award of $2,000.00 for the project, which is estimated to
cost a total of $7,724.05. The match will be funded through in-kind staff time and materials
purchases through the Storm Water Division. Construction is anticipated to occur this year.
Attached is the associated grant agreement.
Staff is recommending that the City Council move to approve the attached STEWARDSHIP FUND
MINI GRANT AGREEMENT, MWMO No. 307-12-08 for the Sylvan Raingarden Retrofit.

Intersection of Jupiter and Mercury St., Fridley, MN
Work Dates: Federal EIN:
From June 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 41-6007700
Background
The City of Fridley recently became a Joint Powers member community in the Mississippi Watershed
Management Organization and has not received any Stewardship Fund grants from MWMO in the past.
Scope of Project
The project is called the ”Sylvan Raingarden Retrofit.‘ It is located entirely in City of Fridley right-of-way in
the Sylvan Hills neighborhood. In 2009, City of Fridley reconfigured the intersection at Jupiter St. and
Mercury St., constructing a water detention area on two lobes of the intersection. The second, or western
lobe, is not functioning well or providing water quality treatment as intended. This lobe of the intersection of
will be retrofitted into a functional raingarden that provides water quality treatment for runoff, as depicted in
the design plans and estimated materials list developed by Anoka Conservation District for the residence at
6291 Comet Street, Fridley (The project design, list of materials, and cost estimates provided by District are
made a part of this Agreement by reference). The project goals are to:
1.Significantly improve stormwater quality by infiltrating larger amounts of stormwater and reducing total
phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) loadings downstream.
2.Increase community understanding and knowledge.
Grantee÷s Project Activities
Project Activities (Section 1.4)
The Grantee will:
Build a 300 square foot, 20‘ deep functional raingarden to collect stormwater from adjacent roadway.
City of Fridley Public Works will:
Provide a design for the raingarden.
Excavate and prepare the site for planting, using compost and mulch purchased with MWMO
grant funds.
Purchase and install Minnesota native plants in the raingarden (plants will include plugs, potted
perennials, and one gallon size shrubs and will be planted approximately 18 inches apart).
Only Minnesota native plants (including cultivars) are eligible for reimbursement from a Stewardship Fund grant.
Provide for successful implementation and long term maintenance of the raingarden by developing a
maintenance agreement and maintenance plan with adjacent property owner. This includes watering
plants during initial establishment, weeding the garden, and replacing mulch as needed.
Evaluate the performance of the raingarden through visual observations (using the provided MWMO
Checklist) after 2-3 rain events.
Correct underlying issues related to the raingarden not functioning properly, such as stormwater not
infiltrating within 24 hours, erosion leading into the garden or sedimentation in the garden itself.
Stewardship Fund Mini Grant Agreement No. 307-12-08
Provide information and education on the project and its stormwater and flood reduction benefits to city
and neighborhood residents, including how the raingarden works and how it improves water quality by:
Creating and distributing an informational flyer on the project for neighborhood residents.
Posting information on websites and social media as applicable.
Writing article to be included in City of Fridley newsletter.
The MWMO will review the water-quality related content of all education materials, including fliers, articles, etc., prior to
for review. The MWMO will be acknowledged and/or the MWMO

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 6, 2013
Date: May 3, 2013
To: Darin Nelson, Acting City Manager
From: Paul Bolin, Asst. Executive HRA Director
Subject: Public Hearing to Create TIF District #22 - Northstar Station TIF
At the City Council’s March 11, 2013 meeting, a resolution was passed that set
May 6, 2013 as the date for the Council to hold the public hearing necessary for
the creation of TIF District #22. TIF District #22 is necessary to allow the
Authority to pay for public improvements, assist redevelopment and transit
options in the Northstar Transit Station TIF area.
The 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions gave the City of Fridley the ability to
create this special Transit TIF District and to pool tax increment from 3 existing
districts to purchase land and pay for public improvements around the Northstar
Station Area.
At the June 2009 HRA meeting, the HRA was asked to approve a motion
authorizing staff to move forward with the statutory requirements for creating the
Northstar Transit TIF District. After discussion over the concerns of starting the
time clock for the district, prior to having an identified project, the HRA decided to
wait until a project was imminent.
Developer John Allen has purchased the "JLT" site and made an application for
the land use approvals needed to build on the site. Mr. Allen's proposed project
consists of a 140,000 sq. ft. office / showroom / warehouse, 300,000 sq. ft. of
office, and 120 units of residential rental property. The time is now right for the
district to be created in order to capture the value of the new development
proposed for 5601 East River Road. Because the project will be
built in phases, the Authority will delay collection of increment for 4 years.
Staff has worked with legal counsel to ensure all of the proper steps towards the
creation of TIF District #22 have been taken. A notice of intent to create the
district was provided to Commissioner Kordiak; a draft TIF Plan was provided to
Anoka County and to the School District; the Planning Commission approved the
J:\Planning\Council Items By Meeting\2013 Council Items\May 6, 2013\Final TIFHEARINGDist#22 Memo.doc
expanded project area; and Monday night’s hearing has been advertised in the
Fridley Focus.
On May 3rd, the HRA, adopted a resolution that modified the redevelopment plan
for Redevelopment Project #1, expanded the Project Area, modified the TIF
Plans for Districts #6-7, 9, 11-13 and 16-21 to reflect increased project costs and
increased bonding authority within Redevelopment Project #1. The resolution
also gives their authorization for the creation of TIF District #22, and adopts the
TIF Plan for District #22.

Re: Northstar Transit Station District (TIF District No. 22)
Our File No. 9571-74
INTRODUCTION
The following enclosures are included with this Memo:
1. The Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District
No. 22 (Northstar Transit Station District).
2. City Resolution authorizing approval.
3. Copy of laws of Minnesota 2008 Chapter 366 Article 5 Section 23 (the
.
THE PLAN
While the Special Law was approved in 2008, the HRA and City have elected to wait
until 2013 before establishing a tax increment district authorized by the Special Law.
authorized by the Special Law is very similar to many tax increment plans that the City
has previously adopted. The Plan describes the specific development expected to
occur (see subsection 24.6); that the TIF District is a redevelopment district (24.15); that
the date of receipt of the first increment is deferred until 2018; and that increment is to
be collected 25 years from date of receipt of the first increment (24.16).
Attached to the Plan and included as Exhibits are a description of the parcels (Exhibit A
and Exhibit B), a tax increment cash flow including assumptions (Exhibit C), the But For
Analysis (Exhibit D) and an Impact Analysis (Exhibit E). Also attached to the Plan is the
Budget identified as Exhibit 1-C. Revenues for the Budget are the estimated tax
increment revenues shown in the Cash Flow Analysis at the bottom of column (e) (see
page XXIV-C-4). Project costs are simply estimates and while the HRA has the ability
to reallocate the various costs in different categories, it cannot exceed them in the
aggregate.
THE RESOLUTION
The Resolution is the standard resolution the City has used for its tax increment
districts. It modifies the existing Redevelopment Plan, expands the Project Area,
amends the existing tax increment districts, and approves the new Tax Increment
District No. 22.
THE SPECIAL LAW
The Special Law assists the City and the HRA with the establishment and utilization of
the TIF District as follows:
1. Specifically allows parcels identified in the Legislation to be included in a
redevelopment tax increment financing district.
2. The five year rule which essentially requires that development must be
contracted for or initiated within 5 years is not applicable.
3. There are no pooling limitations by including all of the statutorily
authorized parcels in the TIF District. Tax increment from development in
any part of the TIF district may be used throughout the TIF district for
eligible expenses.
CONCLUSION
As indicated in the But For Analysis, the Special Law allows the City and its HRA to
focus on Transit-Oriented Development, and the TIF District and the revenues it
generates should be a catalyst for such development.
We will be available to answer any questions at the City Council meeting regarding the
TIF Plan, the Cash Flows and the Special Law.

(Northstar Transit Station District)
Subsection 24.1. Statement of Objectives. See Section I, Subsection 1.5,
Statement of Objectives.
Subsection 24.2. Modified Redevelopment Plan. See Section I, Subsections 1.2
through 1.15.
Subsection 24.3. Parcels to be Included. The boundaries of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 22 IV-
A and illustrated on Exhibit XXIV-B.
Subsection 24.4. Parcels in Acquisition. The Authority may write down or
acquire and reconvey real property, or interests therein, within this TIF District or
elsewhere within the Project Area, at the time or times as the Authority may determine
to be necessary or desirable to assist or implement development or redevelopment
within the Project Area or the TIF District. The Authority may acquire any of the parcels
described on Exhibit I-A and illustrated on Exhibit I-B by gift, dedication, condemnation
or direct purchase from willing sellers in order to achieve the objectives of the
Redevelopment Plan or the TIF Plan.
Subsection 24.5. Development Activity for which Contracts have been Signed.
As of the date of adoption of the TIF Plan, the Authority intends to enter into
Redevelopment Contracts with developers for the activities discussed below.
Subsection 24.6. Specific Development Expected to Occur. At this time it is
anticipated that the current parcels will be redeveloped including demolition and
removal of blighted and substandard structures, remediation and installation of public
improvements and infrastructure compatible with transit oriented development and the
construction of the following in the Phases described below:
Phase I: 134,192 square feet of office/warehouse commencing in 2013 and 120
units of rental housing commencing in 2014;
Phase II: 150,000 square feet of office/warehouse commencing in 2018;
Phase III: 150,000 square feet of office/warehouse and 12,000 square feet of retail
commencing in 2020, 276 units of rental housing commencing in 2020
and 286 units of owner occupied housing commencing in 2020; and
Phase IV: 4,000 square feet of retail commencing in 2022 and 80 units of owner
occupied housing commencing in 2022.
Upon completion of the redevelopment, it is anticipated that 134,192 square feet of
office/warehouse, 300,000 square feet of office, 16,000 square feet of retail, 396 rental
24-1
housing units and 366owner occupiedhousing units will be constructedwith an
estimated market value of approximately $161.0 M.
Subsection 24.7. Prior Planned Improvements. After due and diligent search,
the Authority has determined that no building permits have been issued during the
eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by the Authority.
Subsection 24.8. Fiscal Disparities. The Council hereby elects the method of
tax increment computation set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.177,
Subdivision 3, clause (a) if and when commercial/industrial development occurs within
the TIF District.
Subsection 24.9. Estimated Public Improvement Costs. The estimated public
improvement costs, including interest thereon to be incurred for the benefit of and within
the TIF District and the Project Area are set forth on Exhibit I-C.
Subsection 24.10. Estimated Amount of Bonded Indebtedness. It is anticipated
that approximately $51.2 M of bonded indebtedness may be incurred with respect to
this portion of the Project Area.
Subsection 24.11. Sources of Revenue. Anticipated revenue sources to assist
in the financing of the public improvement costs, pursuant to Subsection 21.9. above,
include (1) general obligation and/or revenue tax increment obligations with interest; (2)
the direct use of tax increments; (3) the borrowing of available funds, including without
limitation interest-bearing City short-term or long-term loans; (4) interfund loans or
advances; (5) interfund transfers, both in and out; (6) land sale or lease proceeds; (7)
levies; (8) grants from any public or private source; (9) developer payments; (10) loan
repayments or other advances originally made with tax increments as permitted by
r
in Exhibit I-C. All revenues are available for tax increment eligible expenses within the
Project Area as allowed by Minnesota Statutes.
Subsection 24.12. Estimated Original and Captured Tax Capacities. The tax
capacity of all taxable property in the TIF District, as most recently certified by the
Commissioner of Revenue of the State of Minnesota on January 2, 2013, is estimated
to be $1,036,423.
The captured tax capacity of the TIF District upon completion of the proposed
improvements on January 2, 2024 is estimated to be $1,947,419. The Authority intends
to utilize 100% of the captured tax capacity for the duration of the TIF District for
purposes of determining tax increment revenues.
Subsection 24.13. Tax Increment. Annual tax increment generated from the TIF
District has been calculated at approximately $2,974,608 upon the completion of the
improvements in 2024. This estimate is provided on the attached Exhibit XXIV-C.
24-2
Revenue has also been projected for the duration of the TIF District and is shown on
Exhibit I-C-17.
Subsection 24.14. Local Tax Rate. The estimated pay 2013 local tax rate is
1.53298.
Subsection 24.15. Type of TIF District. The TIF District is a redevelopment
district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 10 and Laws of
Minnesota 2008, Chapter 154, Article 9, Section 23, and Laws of Minnesota 2008,
Chapter 366, Article 5, Section 22.
Subsection 24.16. Duration of TIF District and Deferral of Tax Increment. The
duration of the TIF District is expected to be twenty five (25) years from receipt of the
first tax increment. The date of receipt of the first tax increment is deferred until 2018.
Thus, it is estimated that the TIF District, including any modifications for subsequent
phases or other changes, would terminate in the year 2043.
Subsection 24.17. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions. The
estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes construction would have
occurred without the creation of the TIF District. If the construction is a result of tax
increment financing, the impact is $0 to other entities. Notwithstanding the fact that the
fiscal impact on the other taxing jurisdictions is $0 due to the fact that the financing
would not have occurred without the assistance of the Authority, the attached Exhibit
XXIV-E reflects (I) the estimated impact of the TIF District if the "but for" test was not
met; (ii) the estimated amount of tax increment generated annually and over the
duration of the TIF District; and, (iii) the estimated amount of tax increment attributable
to the County, School District and other taxing districts.
At this time the Authority anticipates there will be no impact on City services due
to the creation of the TIF District. Additionally, since the City has no current plan to
issue general obligation debt for project costs, it further anticipates that there will be no
impact on its borrowing costs due to the creation of the TIF District. Please refer to
Exhibit XXIV-
Subsection 24.18. Modification of the TIF District and/or the TIF Plan. As of May
6, 2013, no modifications to the TIF District or the TIF Plan have been made, said date
being the date of initial approval and adoption thereof by the City Council.

EXHIBIT XXIVD
Th is generally located south of 61 ½
Way, west of Main Street, north of I-694 and east of the Mississippi River. It is
approximately 155 acres and with the exception of one parcel adjacent to I-694 is fully
developed. The Site is currently composed of residential and
office/warehouse/manufacturing uses. The BNSF railroad bisects the Site and the
Northstar Transit Station is in the NE corner. The Site is ideally suited for transit
oriented development (TOD) and the most recent City of Fridley Comprehensive Plan
s as follows:
thst
While the area around University and 57 and 61 Avenues is currently
solely designed for automobile traffic, it has immense potential for a public
th
transit hub. The bus stop at 57 and University is the last stop before the
morning express route buses rush downtown, making it about a 15-minute
commute to work in the central city. The Northstar Commuter Rail Line
will be going through Fridley on the existing BNSF rail line, starting in
st
2009. A station site is proposed near 61 and Main Street next to the
Hyde Park neighborhood, which has much affordable rental and
homeownership opportunities for the surrounding industrial workforce.
Metro Transit plans to route existing bus routes to the Fridley Northstar
Station site, where park and ride opportunities will exist on both sides of
the tracks.
cilities within a mile
of the proposed Fridley commuter rail
commercial intersections, University and I-694, is also in this area. The
Cub Foods side in this corner has been purchased and is being
considered for redevelopment by the owner, posing new retail
opportunities for the area. In addition, a 25.5 acre vacant industrial site at
the corner of I-694 and East River Road is being considered for rezoning
to commercial, which would create additional retail opportunities in the
area. All of these components make this 355 area acre [which includes
the Site] a great opportunity for transit oriented development (TOD).
The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is currently
considering a redevelopment project along the east side of University
thst
Avenue between Gateway East Townhomes (near 57 Avenue) and 61
Avenue. The HRA has successfully purchased four vacant commercial
properties in this area and has a purchase offer out on a fifth.
Commercial uses have struggled in this location for years due to poor
access and shallow lot depths, which make it difficult for these sites to
meet the parking requirements for many uses suitable for the commercial
zoning of the properties. The HRA was selected to investigate possible
redevelopment options through the Center for Neighborhoods Corridor
XXIV-D-1
Housing.
Since 2009, when the Comp Plan was adopted, the Northstar Transit Station has been
constructed, the park and ride lots completed and the Station is operating. The HRA is
thst
developing the area between 57 and 61 just east of University and is working with a
developer on a multi-year, multi-use planned development at the corner of I-694 and
East River Road.
To facilitate the Comp Plan goals, the Planning Commission and the City Council
approved a TOD Overlay District. The TIF District is located within the boundaries of
the TOD Overlay District. The TOD Overlay District was adopted for the following
reasons:
A. Implement code requirements that will encourage dense, mixed use, pedestrian-
friendly development within a one-half mile of the Northstar Commuter Rail
Station in Fridley.
B. Create multi-modal connections to the Fridley Northstar Commuter Rail Station
that allow for safe access to the station no matter what means of transportation
someone uses.
C. Create a neighborhood identity with the Northstar Station that promotes the use
of mass transit, human interactions, safety and livability.
D. Reduce automobile dependency by locating a variety of land uses within a half
mile of the train station.
E. Provide life cycle housing for people of different income levels and housing
space needs within one half mile of the train station.
To allow the City to finance the acquisition of property for the Station and to assist in
the Station development, the Minnesota Legislature passed, and the Governor signed,
Laws of Minnesota 2008, Chapter 154, Article 9, Section 23, and Laws of Minnesota
2008, Chapter 366, Article 5, Section 23 .The Special Laws
recognize that the Site and greater area have extensive potential for TOD and the
Legislature provided for a number of exemptions to the Tax Increment Act to facilitate
TOD including easing the restrictions on parcel qualification for a redevelopment
district, pooling and the Five Year Rule.
The City and the HRA are promoting TOD opportunities in accordance with the Comp
Plan and the TOD Overlay District and with the development of the freeway parcel at
the south end of the Site noted above, there will be tax increment generated to assist
with the financing of public infrastructure that is needed to make TOD a reality. Without
the Special Laws and the use of tax increment, the City and the HRA would not be able
to promote and develop the Site for TOD.

Page 2 - Resolution No. __________
Section 3. Specific Findings for the Redevelopment District.
3.01. The Council hereby finds, determines and declares that the Redevelopment
District constitutes a “tax increment financing district” as defined in Minnesota Statutes,
Section 469.174, Subd. 9, and further constitutes a “redevelopment district” as provided

Page 2 - Resolution No. __________
EXHIBIT B – SPECIFIC FINDINGS FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
In addition to the findings included in Exhibit A, the reasons and facts supporting the
additional findings for the Redevelopment Plan for the Redevelopment District pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3, are as follows:
1. Finding that the Redevelopment District is a "redevelopment district" as
defined in Minnesota Statutes.
The parcels comprising the Redevelopment District (referred to as the Northstar Transit
Station District) are indentified in Laws of Minnesota 2008, Chapter 154, Article 9,
Section 23 and Laws of Minnesota 2008, Chapter 366, Article 5, Section 23 (the
“Special Laws”).
Section 23(b) of the Special Laws provides as follows:
The requirements for qualifying a redevelopment tax increment district
under Minnesota Statutes, section 469.174, subdivision 10, do no apply to
the parcels located within the Northstar Transit Station District, which are
deemed eligible for inclusion in a redevelopment tax increment district.
2. Finding that the proposed development or redevelopment, in the opinion of
the Council, would not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private
investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use of tax
increment financing is deemed necessary.
Development activities proposed to occur in the Redevelopment District includes Transit
Oriented Development (“TOD”) including land acquisition, demolition of buildings,
remediation of the Site and the construction of approximately 134,192 square feet of
office/warehouse, 300,000 square feet of office, 16,000 square feet of retail, 396 rental
housing units and 366 owner occupied housing units.
City and HRA staff have reviewed the estimated development costs and the available
methods of financing and have determined that tax increment assistance is necessary
to make TOD economically feasible and to allow redevelopment to proceed at this time
and in the foreseeable future.
3. Finding that the increased market value of a project not receiving tax
increment financing assistance would be less than the increased market value of
a project receiving tax increment financing assistance after deducting the present
value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the
Redevelopment District.
The original market value of the Redevelopment District is approximately $70.0 M. City
staff has determined that without tax increment assistance only the property adjacent to I-
Page 2 - Resolution No. __________
694 would be developed within the foreseeable future with an increased market value of
approximately $14.0 M.
City staff has further determined that with tax increment assistance and with an emphasis
on TOD it is possible to construct approximately 134,192 square feet of office/warehouse,
300,000 square feet of office, 16,000 square feet of retail, 396 rental housing units and
366 owner occupied housing units. After deducting the original market value of $70.0 M
from the estimated market value of $208.0 M, City staff has further determined that the
increased market value that could reasonably be expected to occur from a project
receiving tax increment assistance would be approximately $138.0 M.
City staff has further determined that the total amount of tax increment generated over the
26 year term of the Redevelopment District approximates $94.0 M. Assuming the same
term and a present value rate of 5.0%, the present value of $94.0 M approximates $46.0
M. After deducting the present value of the tax increment ($46.0 M) from the increase in
estimated market value occurring as a result of utilizing tax increment assistance ($138.0
M), the net increase in estimated market values approximates $92.0 M.
City staff has further determined that the increased market value of the site that could
reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing ($14.0 M) is
less than the increased market value of the site occurring with the use of tax increment
financing after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the
maximum duration of the Redevelopment District ($92.0 M). Further information
supporting this Finding is attached as Schedule 1.
4. Finding that expenditure of tax increment serves a primarily public
purpose.
The expenditure of tax increment is not intended as a private benefit and any such
benefit is incidental. Public benefits resulting from the proposed project include (i) an
increase in the State and City tax bases, (ii) the acquisition and redevelopment of
property which is not now in its highest or best use, (iii) demolition and removal of
existing substandard and blighted structures, (iv) remediation of contaminated property,
and (v) development of infrastructure to facilitate TOD.

Layne R. Otteson, Assistant Public Works Director
DATE: May 1, 2013
SUBJECT: Award of 2013 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2013 - 01
On Tuesday, April 30, at 10:00 am, bids were opened for the 2013 Street Rehabilitation
Project No. 2013-01. Fifteen sets of plans and specifications were sent out and five
bids were received.
The majority of this project encompasses the residential neighborhoods of
Meadowmore Terrace, Flanery Park, and one street in Melody Manor (Jackson Street).
The project is 3.9 miles in length and includes 334 properties subject to assessment.
The project also includes curb repair and drainage improvements. Currently,
CenterPoint Energy and Century Link have been performing service upgrades.
The low bid was received from Northwest Asphalt Inc. of Shakopee, MN, in the amount
of $964,248.98. The high bid received was $1,244,422.20. The engineer’s estimate,
not including water main, is $999,700. Please refer to the attached summary sheet for
a more specific breakdown of costs and funding sources, which also compares the
preliminary budget to the revised budget.
The project budget in the 2013 CIP is $1,080,000, including five funding components.
Funding for this project is derived from several sources including Municipal State Aid
street funding, special assessments, Parks CIP, and Utility CIP funds. During final
design staff determined that $25,000 in water main work should be reappropriated to
the Matterhorn Drive water main project.
Special Assessment funding is estimated in the amount of $727,000. Special
assessments were calculated using the City’s assessment policy for major roadway
maintenance. Assessments are projected to be in line with the Feasibility Report which
estimated a single family property assessment of $2,150. Final assessment costs will
be calculated at the completion of the project and assessed in the fall of 2013.
Property owners will receive notification of project advancement this spring after Council
award. A project information sheet will provide a tentative work schedule, work
description and contact information. During the project, Staff will distribute project
updates at key milestones such as pavement removal and paving in order to minimize
disruption to the residents.
Northwest Asphalt, Inc. has completed several past projects for the City including 2011
Street Rehabilitation Project and several mill and overlays. They have vast experience
in performing similar work. Staff has found their workmanship and attention to schedule
to be acceptable and responsive. Northwest Asphalt, Inc has demonstrated pride in
their work and attention to detail.
Staff recommends the City Council receive the bids and award the 2013 Street
Improvement Project No. ST. 2013-01, to Northwest Asphalt, Inc. of Shakopee, MN in
the amount of $964,248.98.
