Ms. Moore said staff recommended repealing Section Nos. 12.08 and 12.09.
Ms. Moore said Section No. 12.11 recommended amendments are to repeal the last half of the first
paragraph because the Charter already addresses these powers in Sections 1.02 and 7.02. The last

Ms. Moore said staff recommend the City Council approve the first reading of Ordinance 1386, amending
the Fridley City Charter, Chapter 12, Miscellaneous Provisions. Assuming Council approves the first
reading, Council would then hold a second reading and consider adoption on June 14, 2021, and publish
the City Charter Amendments on June 18, 2021. The recommended amendments would not take effect
until 90 days after publication or on September 16, 2021.
Andrew Biggerstaff, City Attorney, said he has reviewed the changes and they simplify the Charter and
bring it into conformance with State law making it a more efficient way to govern. Overall, this is a good
modernization of this section.
Mayor Lund thanked the Charter for their diligence and work on this chapter.

Ordinance No. 1386, Proposed Amendment to the Fridley City Charter Chapter 12, Second Reading
Background
The City Charter (Charter) is the fundamental law that defines the authorities and powers of the City of
Fridley (City). Minnesota Statute § 410.12, subd. 7 allows for an amendment to the Charter by ordinance
upon the recommendation of the Charter Commission. The recommended amendments to Chapter 12
were compiled into Ordinance No. 1386 (Exhibit A), making the Chapter more consistent with Minnesota
Statute and providing continuity with other Charter sections.
In summary, the recommended Charter amendment includes the following changes by section:

website;
!Section 12.03, revises the Oath of Office for City officers;

language from various laws and regulations;
!Section 12.05, provides for an annual notice to the Council regarding bond amounts for each
City office;
!Section 12.06, directs that any sale of real property shall require a public hearing;
!Section 12.07, reflects State law regarding the vacation of streets; and
!Sections 12.08 and 12.09, removes these sections as Minnesota Statute § 466 controls tort
liability for the City.
Passage of a Charter amendment must follow timelines according to the Charter itself and State law. To
date the following events have occurred for this proposed amendment:
!April 5, 2021, the Commission formally recommended the Charter amendment to the Council;
!April 12, 2021, the Council called for a public hearing on May 10, 2021 (Resolution No. 2021-25);

Stacy Stromberg, Planning Manager, stated the petitioner, Dan Rogers on behalf of
Nokomis Energy and Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a special use permit to allow a
Photovoltaic Carport Canopy 1.0-megawatt Solar Energy System, which will cover a
portion of the parking lot and walkway on the Medtronic Rice Creek Campus. The project
will take place on the East Rice Creek Campus, which is addressed as 6951 Central Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg stated as noted in the petitioner’s narrative, Medtronic recently
committed to achieving zero net carbon emissions by 2030, including obtaining more than
50% of their energy from renewable sources by 2025. This project represents one of a
number of large, clean energy projects Medtronic is investing in to support their
sustainability goals. Medtronic employees will be able to subscribe to the energy
produced by the system as part of a Community Solar Garden program, similar to what
the City subscribed to in early 2020.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he subject property is located on the east side of Central Avenue,
th
north of 69 Avenue. It is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial as are the properties to the north,
west and south. Single-family homes, the Black Forest Condos and the Rice Creek
Townhomes are located to the south. The Medtronic Campus on the west side of Central
Avenue was developed in the early 1970’s. In 1981, the building on the subject property
was constructed as was the skyway that connects the west and east campuses. In 1991,
an addition was constructed to the existing building.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he purpose of a special use permit is to provide the City with a
reasonable degree of discretion in determining the suitability of certain designated uses
upon the general welfare, public health, and safety of the area in which it is located. The
special use permit gives the City the ability to place stipulations on the proposed use to
eliminate negative impacts to surrounding properties. The City also has the right to deny
the special use permit request if impacts to surrounding properties cannot be eliminated
through stipulations.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning code allows solar energy devices
that are part of the principal structure as an accessory use, which means it is allowed
without special consideration. If the solar device is located on the roof of a building, it is
part of the principal structure and simply requires a building permit to ensure the roof is
structurally sound to hold the solar device. Many Fridley homeowners and businesses
have this type of solar. The code does, however, require that a special use permit be issued
if the solar device is not part of the principal structure. This is the City’s first request to
allow solar that is not part of the principal structure.
Ms. Stromberg stated s ome uses allowed with a special use permit have built-in conditions
within the Code, for example, outdoor storage is allowed with a special use permit
31
Jufn!5/
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting
May 19, 2021
Page 3 of 13
provided 9 conditions can be met, related to the amount of outdoor storage allowed,
height, types of items to be stored outside, etc. In the case of solar devices that are not
part of the principal structure, additional conditions are not listed within the Code.
Ms. Stromberg stated a s a result, staff reviewed the Minnesota Model Solar Ordinance and
consulted with other communities about best practices for this type of solar. What we
learned through this process was to treat them as an accessory structure and apply any
requirements we may have for accessory structures to the proposed solar canopy.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he petitioner is proposing to construct a solar carport and covered
walkway that will consist of approximately 3,300 solar panels that will cover approximately
240 parking stalls and the walkway to the building entrance. The foundation of the
canopies will be poured piers that are embedded in the ground, and the solar modules
will be attached to the top. The solar canopies will tilt west and south and have a minimum
clearance of 13 feet 6 inches, which is the minimum required based on the City’s Fire
department’s review. The solar panels will have an anti-glare coating, which is an
important factor considering the residential users to the south.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he petitioner and representatives from Medtronic started meeting
with City staff a few months ago to make sure their proposal will comply with City
requirements. The petitioner has worked through requirements with the Fire Department
when it comes to clearance under and around the canopies and the setback of the building
from the canopies. The proposed solar canopy will be approximately 42 feet from the
building and 104 feet from the southern property line. The 104-foot setback from the
south includes a 50-foot landscaped buffer that will help with separation and screening
from the residential properties to the south.
Ms. Stromberg stated t he canopies will cover six, 49-foot by 181-foot parking areas, with a
16-foot open drive aisle between the parking areas. The canopy will also cover a 49-foot
by 565-foot walkway to the buildings entrance. Generally, ground-mounted solar does
not need to comply with lot coverage standards if the soil under the equipment is
maintained in vegetation and not compacted. In this case, the solar canopy is being
located over existing hard surface parking areas, so there will not be an additional storm
water impact. A stipulation will still be placed on the special use permit to make sure the
project meets any requirements set forth by the City’s Engineering department and the
Rice Creek Watershed District.
Ms. Stromberg stated i n 2018, the City Council adopted an Energy Action Plan. The vision
of the plan is “to continue leading by example and engaging residents, businesses, and
institutions to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of everyone
32
Jufn!5/
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting

Page 4 of 13
in the community”. Industries are a heavy energy user, so the proposed use would meet
what the City is hoping to achieve through the adoption of the Energy Action Plan.
Ms. Stromberg stated Renewable Energy and Solar are also addressed and encouraged
through the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Plan states support of the Next
Generation Energy Act, which was adopted by the State legislative in 2007, and requires
that 25% of the total energy used be derived from renewable energy by 2025. It notes in
Fridley, the greatest potential for solar is within the large roof and extensive hardscapes in
the City’s industrial areas and encourages solar energy in these locations. The City is
committed to supporting these goals in order to increase the City’s environmental quality
and resiliency.
Ms. Stromberg stated Staff has not heard from any neighboring property owners. The
petitioner anticipates that is this special use permit is approved, construction would start
as early as September of this year.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit. Solar
Energy Devices NOT part of the principal structure are a permitted special use in the M-2,
Heavy Industrial zoning district, subject to stipulations.
Ms. Stromberg stated Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the
following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall meet all requirements set forth by:
a. The Building Code
b. The Fire Code
c. The City’s Engineering department
d. The City’s Planning department – including the addition of
landscaping in the green space between the solar panels in the
parking lot and the residential neighborhood to the south.
e. The Rice Creek Watershed District
2. The foundation, piers, canopies, and any materials used for the construction
of the solar carports shall be remain free of rust and maintained in a
condition of reasonable repair and appearance.
3. Any damage to the solar canopy structure shall be repaired within 60 days
of the damage occurring.
4. All equipment shall be removed, and the site restored within one year of
the date the system is no longer in service or has been rendered inoperable
or an extension has been received from the City. If an extension has not
been approved, such solar energy system shall be deemed a nuisance, and
the City may act to abate such nuisance pursuant to Chapter 182 of our City
Code.

Commissioner Buyse asked will the panels move throughout the day? It was mentioned
they would be facing west and south. It looked like from the rendering it was more
something that would move west to east.
Dan Rogers, TC Solar RCE LLC, replied, the carport structure is facing west, whereas the
walkway is facing south. They will see that long, slender structure on the top going
east/west. The structures will be fixed in place, and they will not move. They will be at a
fixed angle. It was just because the carport literally covering the car section and the
walkway, it ended up being at two different tilts.
Commissioner Buyse stated so the tilt directions are not the same. It sounds like the
carports will be facing west, and the walkway will be facing south.
Mr. Rogers replied, that is correct.
Chairperson Hansen asked, as far as solar panels working in the wintertime with snow
accumulation, are they still pretty comparable to other periods of the year?
Mr. Rogers replied, the short answer is, no. However, the panels they are selecting here
are a particular type of technology known as bifacial where they will collect sunlight from
both the front and the back sides of the panels. It is a relatively new move in the solar
industry. But what that allows for is there is just more likelihood the panel can heat up
during the early part of the day, and they have a water system planned for this structure
which allows the snow to move off the panels and actually generate some energy.
However, in general the winter is always a tough time for a solar system because the light
hours are so few. The short answer is they will still generate, and they are aiming to remove
some of the snow off the panels.
Chairperson Hansen stated he imagined it would be a popular spot for employees to
park.
Mr. Rogers replied, Jason and Rochelle would have to answer that question, but he would
assume that is a “yes.”
Rochelle Danielson, Medtronic replied there have been requests to get covered parking
for quite some time, so this is a good opportunity to get covered parking and get some
use out of the solar.
Commissioner McClellan asked regarding the 50-foot landscape buffer, are there going
to be bushes, trees, tall trees? How tall can you go before you impede the sunlight you
are trying to capture to the south? His only concern would be the individual homes to the
34
Jufn!5/
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting

south. Right now, they see a parking lot so there is a piece of him that says it is not that
big of a deal but just so we are all clear as to what kind of landscaping they are talking
about.
Ms. Stromberg replied, the landscape plan has not been designed yet. This site already
th
has a little berm along 69 so maybe it may be a matter of just adding some shrubs and
that would be enough of a screening device, and they would not have to worry about how
tall the trees are getting. That is something they can work out with the petitioner at
building permit time. They would like to see some new materials added there because it
looks like some stuff has died off over the years and is ready to be replaced.
Commissioner Buyse asked whether the City has any issues with not having that in the
language of this petition. Do we have any issues with not having any height or spacing
requirements?
Ms. Stromberg replied, all of that stuff is in Code. Stipulation No. 1 talks about the
petitioner submitting the landscape plan to add additional green plantings there so she
thinks they are covered.
Commissioner McClellan stated he is not sure what kind of infrastructure goes into this,
meaning do they recover the energy and then redistribute it in some form or fashion. They
have big buildings there with flat roofs. Does it make any sense at some point to add solar
to the buildings?
Mr. Rogers replied, for this particular system the intention is they will be tying directly
into Xcel’s distribution grid as part of their Community Solar program. Effectively this one
will flow back and be used within the facility nearby and then at times when that demand
is low, out into the broader distribution at work of Xcel. The question about the roofs is a
good one. They are in discussions and those could be potential opportunities or projects
they might see come down the pipe. He does not believe there is anything firm in that
area at the moment.
Commissioner Buyse stated, it says “Medtronic employees will be able to subscribe to
the energy produced by the system as part of a community solar garden program”. He
asked that to be explained.
Mr. Rogers replied, effectively Xcel Energy has one of the nation’s best community solar
programs whereby if you build a project on their distribution network, they will provide
you bill credit compensated at the fair market value of the energy being produced. The
Department of Commerce, Xcel, PC, and other stakeholders crafted the rules as part of
legislation that passed in 2013 allowing for this. Ultimately that process determined what
35
Jufn!5/
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting
May 19, 2021
Page 7 of 13
that methodology determining the rate would be which then determines the value of the
bill credit. For them as the developer and working with Medtronic, they then receive bill
credits for the electricity and market and sell those to Xcel customers. Because this was
cited with Medtronic in mind, really for the benefit of their employees to begin with, it only
meant to allow them to partake in this program. They will actually receive discounts on
their electricity bills as long as they are a customer of Xcel located in the same county or
an adjacent county to this project.
Commissioner Meisner stated why only do 60 percent of the lot? Why not do the other
side of the walkway, why not do the west side? Is this a pilot or are there reasons why this
was sized this way?
Mr. Rogers replied, ultimately it is part of a program that Xcel has. Their hope is to
continue to expand on the covered areas where it makes sense. Where Medtronic would
like to see that happen. Ultimately the project is defined as a 1-megawatt system which
then effectively limits you to a particular panel area, but that does not negate your ability
to do another project. Really the metric there is, does it look like one development or a
multiple development is really how those rules are written. That is why they will see this
one come and potentially they would do another, but it is not a guarantee.
Commissioner Meisner asked so Xcel limits them to 1 megawatt?
Mr. Rogers replied, effectively, yes, the rules of the program limit that and Xcel was a part
in crafting them.
Commissioner Meisner asked, how long do these last? What is the reasonable life of
these things?
Mr. Rogers replied, these particular panels are warranted for 30 plus years. Both in the
workmanship as well as the power, quality, and the output. The terms they are seeking
here is commensurate with the actual program length which is 25 years or and they are
potentially seeking 35 here which is what they describe as the useful life. You have a 5-
year period maybe outside the panel warranty, but you can design and expect that system
to run for at least 35 years.
Commissioner Meisner asked Mr. Rogers if he mentioned water? Are they putting water
into this to help clear the panels? He asked Mr. Rogers to explain that a little bit.
Mr. Rogers replied, they are just making sure that the snow and the water runoff from the
structures themselves do not impact either the drainage within the existing parking lot or
cause a hazard for any of the cars or employees parked under it.
36

Commissioner Meisner asked so there is no active snow removal?
Mr. Rogers replied, no, it will be a passive snow managed system.
Commissioner Meisner stated he presumed facing south is better. He asked Mr. Rogers
if he has considered talking to Medtronic to restripe the parking lot and put the rows
going east/west and face them all south?
Mr. Rogers replied, they did consider that. At the end of the day with carport structures
the difference is not as dramatic as say a field ground mounted or a tracking system in the
field. The complexity of making sure they have the adequate parking and it’s meeting all
the requirements within Medtronic’s needs; it wasn’t worth the benefit of potentially doing
that or adjusting. They were able to model it and confirm what they believed the energy
output would be and based the project around that design.
Commissioner Buyse stated based on the fact there are a lot of residents on the south
side, and this is right on the south side of the parking lot, was there any discussion or
thought of putting this on the northwest side so it would be less visible?
Mr. Rogers replied, the intention right now is to pursue that other side for an additional
project. There are two pieces of complexity there. One, that site is a former superfund
site, therefore, it requires a little bit more on the environmental, engineering, and planning
side. They felt that this project was probably the best one to bring forward first. They
have intentions to move that project forward at the appropriate time, and they are hopeful
that one will be as successful as well.
Commissioner Buyse asked what is the precent that this will save? He saw 1,700
megawatt hours and that immediately correlated to residential houses. What would be
the correlation to actual power saved for the property it is being put onto?
Mr. Rogers replied, he believed it is roughly around 30 percent of the annual kilowatt
usage of the main building. In terms of kilowatt hours, it is roughly just a little under
2 million kilowatt hours annually.
Commissioner Buyse stated if that is 30 percent, what else do they plan to do to reach
50 percent by 2025 because that is ultimately their goal. He asked Mr. Rogers if he knew
what the plan is to get that other 20 percent? Is it going to be solar? Will he be having
those conversations?
Mr. Rogers replied, he will have Jason or Rochelle answer this question.
37

Rochelle Danielson, Medtronic stated in the Twin Cities area they have a number of
projects they are looking at. They also have co-generation projects in Puerto Rico and
other areas around the world. They have an environmental team who is evaluating
opportunities for Medtronic as a whole so some of the projects they have going on right
now in the Twin Cities are just the start of it.
Commissioner Buyse stated he was just curious because ultimately 3.5 years is not a long
time away. He was curious if they could understand their vision or plans to hit those stated
goals of 100 percent by 2030 will also come up very quick.
Commissioner Meisner stated over the years and decades the efficiency of solar panels
has been a hot topic. He asked where are these at?
Mr. Rogers replied, there are a couple of ways to measure the panels effective area and
efficiency is north of 20 so that includes the loft area of the panels. The cell efficiencies
themselves are in the 24-25 north of that range. You are kind of in the mid to low 20’s for
the panels themselves. However, it is probably moving to a better place to look, even on
the small projects, at capacity factors because you are now getting bifacial modules where
you are getting the light from the back side. That has cell efficiency area or that panel
efficiency area is not necessarily telling you the whole story of how much energy you are
going to produce; whereas the capacity factor which is effectively how many hours out of
a year is this running compared to the theoretical maximum there could have been. That
is in a high teen, low 20 percent range. Roughly if you had a natural gas plant running
24/7 that would have a 100 percent capacity factor. This is in the 20 percent range.
Chairperson Hansen asked the petitioner if he has read and understand and agree with
the stipulations as stated tonight?
Mr. Rogers replied, he has, and he does.
Motion by Commissioner Buyse to close the public hearing. Seconded by Vice
Chairperson Meisner.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON HANSEN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT
7:34 P.M.
Chairperson Hansen stated as somebody who has spent a lot of time, along with
Commissioner Dritz, working on the City’s Energy Action Plan, along with Rachel Workin,
38
Jufn!5/
Fridley Planning Commission Meeting
May 19, 2021
Page 10 of 13
the City’s Environmental Planner, it is exciting to see this project come forward. He thinks
it is great.
Commissioner Dritz stated she is excited to see that Medtronic is putting in the solar
panels and reducing their carbon footprint. It is totally online with the City’s Energy Action
Plan especially with their heavy use industrial areas. She hopes it sets an example for the
other businesses in our community.
Commissioner McClellan stated Medtronic to say the least has a big footprint in
northeast Minneapolis going back decades, and they have always been sort of on the
forefront. He applauds them, and he is sure they are not doing it just because they are
nice folks. He is sure the math works out just fine, but it is a great move, too.
Vice-Chairperson Evanson stated he drove by the site yesterday and there is a sizable
berm that separates the neighborhood. There are only a handful of homes that have a
direct visual line to the parking lot. Considering that no one is here today objecting to it,
his presumption is the community does not feel this will be a visual blight, and any blight
is more or less mitigated by the existing tree line that is there, the berm, and perhaps some
additional vegetation that may be put in.
Commissioner Meisner stated if he were to make one objection, he would say they and
the City should go to Xcel and say, let’s not limit these projects to 1 megawatt. Put in 10
megawatts with the headquarters, the Mounds View site, the west campus, and the central
building. This seems to go with where Fridley wants to go as a city and s humanity and as
a panel.
Mr. Rogers thanked them and stated he would give the Commission’s message to Xcel.
Commissioner Meisner asked Ms. Stromberg when is this planning on being
constructed?
Ms. Stromberg replied, she believed they said in their narrative they are looking to start
in the fourth quarter of this year.
Commissioner Meisner stated they have this 25 percent target, he asked Ms. Stromberg
if she knew where we’re at right now?
Chairperson Hansen asked Commissioner Meisner if he was talking about the City’s
target?
Commissioner Meisner replied, yes, the City’s 25 percent renewable energy target.

Chairperson Hansen replied, as part of the Environmental Commission, he, and
Commissioner Dritz receive fairly routine updates on that; and he thinks it is about even
in that they are not necessarily making any progress, but they are also growing a little bit
with the developments so that offsets things.
Ms. Stromberg stated the City does have a signed agreement to participate in a
community solar garden similar to what is being proposed tonight, but it has not been
constructed yet. Once that is constructed the City will be able to participate.
Chairperson Hansen stated they put a lot of effort in articles that are in the newsletter
about signing up for home energy audits and you can sign up for renewable energy on
your own.
Commissioner Dritz stated, and they can sign up for the wind challenge, too. She thinks
they had 60 households who signed up for wind this last spring.
Commissioner Buyse asked Commissioner Dritz, what does that mean, signing up for
wind?
Commissioner Dritz replied, through Xcel you can add that additionally to your bill and
it effectively adds a dollar a kilowatt. It adds a little bit to your bill, but you also get a fuel
surcharge credit back so there are some charges and credits. For her house it was like an
extra $8 a month.
Commissioner Meisner stated you are basically volunteering to pay the higher rate for
the generation of the renewable energy.
Commissioner Dritz stated to be clear it is in addition to any state mandates that Xcel
already has to put in place. You are opting in to push them to the next level with that
slight increase.
Commissioner Buyse stated he is surprised it is 30 percent. He was not expecting that.
Good job on the efficiency. He certainly is not that big of a fan about how solar looks and
with the implications of other people having to look at it, but he certainly does like the
aspects and benefits of it. It is encouraging to hear it is actually going to be benefiting
although obviously there will be some drawbacks with visibility. It is a good savings and
is something he can get behind. He is encouraged to hear that.
Commissioner Dritz stated personally she thinks a carport is not anything worse than an
open parking lot.

Commissioner Meisner stated he was going to make the same comment that this will
look more like a carport more than it will a solar farm. It is just from the ground level he
does not know how visible the tops of the panels will be. You might just see a carport.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: June 14, 2021 Meeting Type: City Council
Submitted By: Ryan George, Deputy Director of Public Safety Police Division
Title
Resolution No. 2021-47, Authorizing the Acceptance of a Grant from the Minnesota Department of
Commerce for an Auto Theft Investigator
Background
The Minnesota Department of Commerce is authorized by Minnesota Statute § 65B.84 to provide grant
funds to the City of Fridley under the Automobile Theft Prevention Program. The amount of automobile
thefts has steadily risen in Fridley and surrounding communities in recent years. Unfortunately, not
enough resources were available to fully investigate auto theft cases.
Through grant funds provided by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, the Fridley Police
Department will be able to fund a full-time Auto Theft Investigator position starting on July 1, 2021. The
grant period expires on June 30, 2023 but is eligible for a three-year extension. The Auto Theft
Investigator will investigate all auto thefts and stolen vehicle recoveries in the cities of Fridley, Spring
Lake Park, and Columbia Heights. The Spring Lake Park Police Department and the Columbia Heights
Police Department are supportive of this arrangement. In addition to covering the salary and benefits of
the Auto Theft Investigator, the grant will also provide funds for specialized training through the
International Association of Auto Theft Investigators. The Grant Contract (Exhibit A) has been reviewed
by the City Attorney.
Financial Impact
The City will receive a total of $203,905 in grant funds.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2021-47.

Resolution No. 2021-47
Authorizing the Acceptance of a Grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce for
an Auto Theft Investigator
Whereas, pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 65B.84, the Minnesota Department of Commerce is
empowered to provide grant funds to the City of Fridley under the Automobile Theft Prevention
Program; and
Whereas, automobile thefts have been increasing in the State of Minnesota and the cities of
Fridley, Columbia Heights, and Spring Lake Park for the past two years; and
Whereas, automobile thefts are often committed by organized groups and repeat offenders who
drive recklessly, damage property and cause injuries, cross jurisdictional boundaries and
frequently use stolen vehicles to facilitate other crimes; and
Whereas, the technology needed to locate stolen vehicles and investigate these offenses
frequently involves specialized equipment, training, and resources; and
Whereas, the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Grant has offered a grant to provide a full-
time Auto Theft Investigator to the Fridley Public Safety Department, and investigations of stolen
vehicle offenses will benefit by receiving said grant.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby authorizes the
Mayor and the City Manager or their designee to accept a grant from the State of Minnesota,

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: June 14, 2021 Meeting Type: City Council
Submitted By: Ryan George, Deputy Director of Public Safety Police Division
Title
Resolution No. 2021-48, Authorizing the Acceptance of a Grant from the Minnesota Department of
Commerce for the Anoka County Auto Theft Task Force
Background
The Minnesota Department of Commerce is authorized by Minnesota Statute § 65B.84 to provide grant
funds to the City of Fridley under the Automobile Theft Prevention Program. In addition to the grant-
funded Auto Theft Investigator that is addressed in Resolution No. 2021-47, the MN Department of
Commerce has provided grant funds for the ongoing operation of the Anoka County Auto Theft Task
Force.
The task force has representatives from Anoka County law enforcement agencies and focuses on auto
theft throughout all of Anoka County. The task force itself is overseen by the Anoka County Joint Law
Enforcement Council (JLEC), of which Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo is the Chair. The
administration of the task force grant is the responsibility of one of the member agencies. Most recently,
the Coon Rapids Police Department administered the grant after the Fridley Police Department
completed the previous grant cycle.
As the administrator of the Anoka County Auto Theft Task Force grant, the City of Fridley will be
responsible for purchasing equipment and funding overtime investigations, crime analysis, and
specialized operations that will be funded by the grant. Details regarding the equipment and personnel
costs that will be reimbursed are addressed in the grant acceptance contract (Exhibit A).
The City of Fridley is responsible for initial approval of the grant acceptance contract before it is officially
approved by the JLEC. The grant acceptance contract will be approved by the JLEC and fully executed by
Anoka County Attorney Palumbo prior to the start of the grant period.
administration of this particular grant will commence on July 1, 2021 and expire on June 30, 2023,
although an extension of up to three additional years may be authorized through a duly executed
amendment.
Financial Impact
The City will receive a total of $290,773.04 in grant funds to purchase equipment and fund auto theft
investigations in Anoka County.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Resolution No. 2021-48
Authorizing the Acceptance of a Grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce for the
Anoka County Auto Theft Task Force
Whereas, pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 65B.84, the Minnesota Department of Commerce is
empowered to provide grant funds to the City of Fridley and the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement
Council under the Automobile Theft Prevention Program; and
Whereas, automobile thefts have been increasing in the State of Minnesota and Anoka County; and
Whereas, automobile thefts are often committed by organized groups and repeat offenders who drive
recklessly, damage property and cause injuries, cross jurisdictional boundaries and frequently use stolen
vehicles to facilitate other crimes; and
Whereas, the technology needed to locate stolen vehicles and investigate these offenses frequently
involves specialized equipment, training, and resources; and
Whereas, the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Grant has offered a grant to provide specialized
investigative equipment, training, and resources to the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council,
and investigations of stolen vehicle offenses will benefit by receiving said grant; and
Whereas, the grant funds provided by the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Grant will be
administered by the City of Fridley on behalf of the Joint Law Enforcement Council, and
Whereas, the Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Grant will be formally accepted by the Joint Law
Enforcement Council prior to the start of the grant period.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby authorizes the Mayor
and the City Manager or their designee to accept the responsibility of administering a grant from the
State of Minnesota, Department of Commerce, in the amount of $290,773.04.
Be it further resolved, that such funds are to be used to fund the investigation of auto thefts in Anoka
County, a grant agreement substantially the same as the attached Exhibit A.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 14th day of June, 2021.

Background
The City received a text amendment application from Santa Monica, CA-based Bird Scooters to update
the City Code to allow for the rental of motorized foot scooters (shared micromobility vehicles, scooters).
The City has an existing code (Chapter 509 Motorized Vehicle Rental) that was adopted in 1965 and
allows for licensing of motor vehicles such as through a car rental company; however, the c
definition of motor vehicles does not include motorized foot scooters. Additionally, the code language
does not provide guidance specific to the public right-of-way use required to store the scooters.
Updating the City Code is necessary to license scooters and allow their storage in the right-of-way. While
not regulated within the zoning code, this code update has similar citywide impacts. As a result, staff
advised Bird to apply for a text amendment. Bird submitted a text amendment application on May 14,
2021 that proposed to add motorized foot scooters to the definition of motorized vehicles in Chapter
509. Staff will recommend adding additional language to the code to create a license specific to
motorized foot scooters and other shared micromobility devices. The newly created license will establish
components of the program. Since staff does not license motorized vehicle rental companies, language
requiring licensure of these companies will be removed.
The text amendment process requires public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council.
A public hearing has been scheduled before the Planning Commission on June 16, 2021. This resolution
is to schedule a public hearing before the City Council on June 28, 2021. Both meetings have been
noticed through the Star Tribune in accordance with Minnesota Statute § 15.99.
Financial Impact
Bird Scooters submitted a text amendment application and associated fee.

Resolution No. 2021-49
Scheduling a Public Hearing on June 28, 2021 to Consider Ordinance No. 1393, Amending
the Fridley City Code Chapter 509, Motorized Vehicle Rentals
Whereas, pursuant to Minnesota Statute §§ 462.351 and 462.353 the City of Fridley (City) is
empowered to coordinate municipal planning to enable public and private agencies to operate
certain businesses in the City; and
Whereas, the Fridley City Code Chapter 407, Rights-of-Way Management regulates uses of the
public rights-of-way in the City
public rights-of-; and
Whereas, the Fridley City Code Chapter 407.01, subd. 2 enables the City to administer rights-of-
way within the City by imposing reasonable regulations through the creation of permits, licenses
or other forms of administration; and
Whereas, on May 12, 2021, the City received a Text Amendment Application from Bird Rides Inc.
of Santa Monica, California to revise the Fridley City Code to include micromobility sharing
operations to allow riders to temporarily use micromobility vehicles available from a fleet in
exchange for a fee on City-maintained rights-of-way; and
Whereas, the Fridley City Code Chapter 509, Motorized Vehicle Rentals was adopted through
Ordinance No. 303 on June 7, 1965 and has not been updated since then; and
Whereas, Fridley City Code Chapter 509, Motorized Vehicle Rentals is the most appropriate
chapter of the City Code to include language to legislate and administer micromobility sharing
operations; and
Whereas, the Fridley City Council discussed the Text Amendment Application at their May 24,
2021 Conference Meeting and were generally supportive of pursuing the code revision as
recommended by staff; and
Whereas, the Fridley City Council finds it prudent to conduct a discretionary public hearing to
take public comment on this proposed amendment to the Fridley City Code.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby schedules a
public hearing for Monday, June 28, 2021 in the Council Chambers of the Fridley Civic Campus,
7071 University Avenue N.E., at 7:00 p.m. to consider an amendment to the Fridley City Code

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: June 14, 2021 Meeting Type: City Council
Submitted By: Walter T. Wysopal, City Manager
Title
Resolution No. 2021-51, Directing Continued Efforts Pertaining to the Parks Master Plan
Background
At the June 5, 2021 Town Hall meeting, the City Council (Council) received feedback pertaining to the
ongoing Parks Master Planning process. Residents expressed a desire to go from concepts to project
feasibility. This next step would be best served by the Council clarifying these next steps for the public.
This memo and the accompanying resolution serve that objective.
Project History - Starting in 2019, the City undertook a community-driven comprehensive park system
he purpose is to develop a planning and
implementation document that will guide the City with identified priorities for park improvements and
investments and to ensure the City has a balanced and equitable park system that meets the needs of
the community.
Key to the public involvement process was a series of four community workshops conducted by the
Corridor Development Initiative (CDI). The workshops were well attended, averaging about 30
participants per session. City officials, City staff, and an Anoka County Commissioner also attended. Over
70% of attendees participated in two or more of the four workshops, and over 35% attended three or
more sessions. In order to broaden the outreach, electronic means were used to engage residents
without the need to attend a meeting in person. This included email, electronic surveys, Social Pinpoint,
and the City newsletter. One outcome produced was a Project Goal Statement:
ages
and abilities with opportunities for active living, social connections, wellness, and nature."
Four key themes resulted:
1.!Improved Playgrounds & Amenities
2.!Gathering Spaces
3.!Year-Round Use & Connectivity
4.!Unique Amenities & Experiences
At the conclusion of this process, resident input strongly favored a Parks Master Plan that fairly addressed
the needs of all City parks--not only the parks that are most popular. Equally as important was an
implementation plan that would assure that all parks would be serviced over a ten-year period. To

accomplish these goals, the Council enlisted the help of a consultant, WSB & Associates, to further refine
plans for each City park by:
!Performing in-depth analysis of area needs and parks;
!Identifying access and barriers as well as underserved populations;
!Engaging with key groups and partners;
!Developing concept plans designs;
!Drafting an implementation strategy;
!Preparing costs estimates;
!Creating story map website; and
!Continually collecting feedback.
Further resident input was gathered through a resident survey. The City conducted a statistically valid
resident survey in February of 2021. Questions in the survey addressed the interest and desire to improve
the City parks in certain specific areas. Results of the survey indicated five themes related to the Parks
Master Plan:
1.!Residents are attached to and value their parks.
2.!Residents have a strong connection between parks and home values.
3.!Demographically, the City is becoming more diverse and younger, demanding different park
amenities than in the past.
4.!Our newer residents desire to make Fridley their home for many years to come and look to parks
as a connection to the City.
5.!Monetarily, residents express their support for parks through a willingness to pay about
$10/month more for park improvements.
The WSB study estimates the cost of park improvements at $50 million. Under current funding practices,
it will take over 100 years to complete the proposed improvements. Debt financing would be needed to
Feedback received at the Town Hall meeting for the Parks Plan was very positive. There were no
comments in direct opposition of the overall plan. There were questions about affordability. Residents
inquired as to the next steps. It was offered and found acceptable that the Council consider a resolution
at its next meeting to authorize further study and citizen involvement to find ways to make the Parks
Master Plan affordable and yet meet the expectations of the residents.
Next Steps - It is important to continue the citizen-driven process into the next steps of the Parks Master
Plan process. It would also be helpful for the Council to set parameters on the overall project size and a
timeframe for improvements.

condition.
Timeframe Residents have expressed a desire to get the improvements done sooner rather than
waiting. This desire also needs to be balanced with the ability to manage multiple projects. A ten-year
timeframe for project completion may be best suited for the City. Implementation would start in 2023.
Financing Task Force It is proposed that a resident task force be created by the Council for the purpose
of recommending an appropriate financing method to implement the Parks Master Plan. The task force
would be staffed by the City Finance Director and made up of seven residents appointed by the Council.
Refinements Task Force This group will evaluate the Parks Master Plan concepts and refine them to
the interests of the community and fit within the project size determined by the Council. They will host
public meetings and find ways to engage residents in the process to make sure all voices are heard. They
will recommend a final project implementation plan to the Council for consideration. The group will be
headed by the Community Services Director. The Parks & Recreation Commission will be asked to serve
as members of the task force. The Council may appoint more members if desired.
Financial Impact
No additional budgetary impact expected to complete this phase of the project. Implementation in
future years will require significant resources.

Staff recommend the adoption of Resolution No. 2021-51.

Resolution No. 2021- 51
Directing Continued Efforts Pertaining to the Parks Master Plan
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) began a process of understanding the needs and desires of
residents for City parks by conducting
four public workshops with residents; and
Whereas, Fridley residents expressed an interest in improving City parks by upgrading
playgrounds and amenities, creating gathering spaces, offering year-round recreation programs
at parks, interconnecting parks by trial, and creating unique experiences in the parks; and
Whereas, , WSB & Associates conducted additional resident
engagement over concept plans for each City park and provided cost estimates for construction;
and
Whereas, a statistically-valid residents survey conducted by Morris Leatherman Associates
identified residents are supportive of parks, desire to see the parks improved and are willing to
pay additional taxes to fund a reconstruction effort; and
Whereas, a Town Hall meeting open to all residents held on June 5, 2021, further identified
support for the Parks Master Plan and a clarification of next steps.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the Fridley City Council hereby directs the City Manager to
continue final implementation of the Parks Master Plan.
Be it further resolved that the Fridley City Council hereby set parameters to the next phase of
the Parks Master Plan:
A.!Project size not to exceed $30 million.
B.!Timeframe of the improvements not to exceed 10 years.
C.!Approves the following appointments to the vacant positions:
1)!The creation of a Financing Task Force for purposes of recommending an
appropriate financing method to implement the Parks Master Plan consistent
with City Council parameters. The task force would be staffed by the City
Finance Director and made up of seven residents appointed by the City Council.
2)!The creation of a Refinements Task Force for purposes of evaluating the Parks
Master Plan concepts and refining them to the interests of the community and
fit within the project size determined by the City Council. They will host public

voices are heard. They will recommend a final project implementation plan to

desired.

Special Use Permit #21-04
Written Report
The Request
The petitioner, Dan Rogers on behalf of Nokomis Energy and Medtronic, Inc. is requesting a
special use permit to allow a Photovoltaic Carport Canopy 1.0-megawatt Solar Energy System,
which will cover a portion of the parking lot and walkway on the Medtronic Rice Creek Campus.
The project will take
place on the East Rice
Creek Campus, which is
addressed as 6951
Central Avenue.
As noted in the
Medtronic recently
committed to achieving
zero net carbon
emissions by 2030,
including obtaining
more than 50% of their
energy from renewable
sources by 2025. This
project represents one of
a number of large, clean
energy projects
Medtronic is investing in to support their sustainability goals. Medtronic employees will be able
to subscribe to the energy produced by the system as part of a Community Solar Garden
program, similar to what the City subscribed to in early 2020.
Site Description
th
The subject property is located on the east side of Central Avenue, north of 69 Avenue.
It is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial as are the properties to the north, west and south. Single-
family homes, the Black Forest Condos and the Rice Creek Townhomes are located to the south.
The Medtronic Campus on the west side of Central Avenue was developed in
In 1981, the building on the subject property was constructed as was the skyway that connects
the west and east campuses. In 1991, an addition was constructed to the existing building.
Analysis and Code Requirements
The purpose of a special use permit is to provide the City with a reasonable degree of discretion
in determining the suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare, public health,
and safety of the area in which it is located. The special use permit gives the City the ability to
place stipulations on the proposed use to eliminate negative impacts to surrounding properties.
The City also has the right to deny the special use permit request if impacts to surrounding
properties cannot be eliminated through stipulations.

The M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning code allows solar energy devices that are part of the principal
structure as an accessory use, which out special consideration. If the
solar device is located on the roof of a building, it is part of the principal structure and simply
requires a building permit to ensure the roof is structurally sound to hold the solar device.
Many Fridley homeowners and businesses have this type of solar. The code does however
require that a special use permit be issued
part of the principal structure.
Some uses allowed with a special use permit have built in conditions within the code, for
example, outdoor storage is allowed with a special use permit provided 9 conditions can be met,
related to the amount of outdoor storage allowed, height, types of items to be stored outside,
reviewed the Minnesota Model Solar Ordinance
and consulted with other communities about best practices for this type of solar. What we
learned through this process was to treat them as an accessory structure and apply any
requirements we may have for accessory structures to the proposed solar canopy.
The petitioner is proposing to construct a solar carport and covered walkway that will consist of
approx. 3,300 solar panels that will cover approx. 240 parking stalls and the walkway to the
building entrance. The
foundation of the
canopies will be poured
piers that are
embedded in the
ground, and the solar
modules will be
attached to the top.
The solar canopies will
tilt west and south and
have a minimum
clearance of 13 ft. 6 in.,
which is the minimum
required based on the
review. The solar panels will have an anti-glare coating, which is an important factor considering
the residential users to the south.
The petitioner and representatives from Medtronic started meeting with City staff a few months
ago to make sure their proposal will comply with City requirements. The petitioner has worked
through requirements with the Fire department when it comes to clearance under and around
the canopies and the setback of the building from the canopies. The proposed solar canopy will
be approx. 42 ft. from the building and 104 ft. from the southern property line. The 104 ft.
85

setback from the south includes a 50 ft. landscaped buffer that will help with separation and
screening from the residential properties to the south. The canopies will cover six, 49 ft. by 181
ft. parking areas, with a 16 ft. open drive aisle between the parking areas. The canopy will also
cover a 49 ft. by 565 ft. walkway to the buildings entrance. Generally, ground-mounted solar

District.
Renewable Energy
In 2018, the City Council adopted an Energy Action Plan. The vision of the plan is to continue
leading by example and engaging residents, businesses, and institutions to save money and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of everyone in the community. Industries are a heavy
energy user, so the proposed use would meet what the City is hoping to achieve through the
adoption of the Energy Action Plan.
Renewable
Comprehensive Plan. The Plan states support of the Next Generation Energy Act, which was
adopted by the State legislative in 2007, and requires that 25% of the total energy used be
derived from renewable energy by 2025. It notes in Fridley, the greatest potential for solar is
and encourages solar
energy in these locations. The City is committed to supporting these goals in order to increase
The petitioner anticipates that is this
special use permit is approved, construction would start as early as September of this year.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit.
Solar Energy Devices NOT part of the principal structure are a permitted special use in the M-2,
Heavy Industrial zoning district, subject to stipulations.
Stipulations
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
1.!The petitioner shall meet all requirements set forth by:
