presented at the public open house. He also provided a ranking for the options provided by the
public. He stated that staff discussed the feedback with Council, and the speed humps and traffic
circle were deemed feasible. Accordingly, staff is working on preliminary design to incorporate one,
or both, of the elements. He noted an estimated cost of $25,000 to add both elements and noted
that funding is available as $30,000 had been budgeted for traffic safety upgrades in 2024. Staff
recommend approval of the resolution as presented.
Councilmember Bolkcom thanked staff and the public for working together to get to this point.
Mayor Lund commented that this is not a large amount of money for something that will hopefully
benefit the neighborhood. He believed that the University should be involved in the funding as that
is the main source of traffic issues in this area.
Mr. Kosluchar commented that while efforts to improve the situation have taken a while, he does
believe there is progress being made to reduce the concentration of traffic. He preferred to fund
these improvements as proposed, noting the traffic data collected.

Title
Resolution No. 2024-44,Approving a Grant Agreement with the Mississippi Watershed Management
Organization for a Hydrodynamic Separator
Background
The 2024 Street Project (ST2024-01) is scheduled to occur during the 2024 construction season as
outlined in the Cityapproved 2024-2028 Capital Investment Program
approved feasibility studyidentified potential stormwater improvements that could occur within the
scope of the project. One recommendation was to install a hydrodynamic separatorwithin the storm
sewer system along Buchanan Street. The City installed a similardevice, which uses gravity to remove
pollutants from stormwater runoff, within Project ST2022-01. Modeling indicates that the hydrodynamic
separator will remove 1.0 pound of Total Phosphorus and 366 pounds of Total Suspended Solids per
yearfrom stormwater before it entersSullivan Lakeand subsequently the Mississippi River.
The City submitted a Capital Project Grant Application to the Mississippi Watershed Management
Organization (MWMO) to fund the installation of the structure and was awarded $64,000.The City has
also been awarded grant funding from the Rice Creek Watershed District for the installation of a
hydrodynamic separator on Channel Road as part of this same road project.
Financial Impact
Thegrant award of $64,000 is expected to cover the full cost of installation of the structure. The City
will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the hydrodynamic separator.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2024-44, Approving a Grant Agreement with the
Mississippi Watershed Management Organization for a Hydrodynamic Separator.

Resolution No. 2024-45, Approving a Grant Agreement with theRice Creek Watershed Districtfor a
Hydrodynamic Separator
Background
The 2024 Street Project (ST2024-01) is scheduled to occur during the 2024 construction season as
outlined in the Cityapproved 2024-2028 Capital Investment Program
approved feasibility studyidentified potential stormwater improvements that could occur within the
scope of the project. One recommendation was to install a hydrodynamic separatorwithin the storm
sewer system along Channel Road. The City installed a similardevice, which uses gravity to remove
pollutants from stormwater runoff, within Project ST2022-01. Modeling indicates that the hydrodynamic
separator will remove 0.987poundsof Total Phosphorus and 280pounds of Total Suspended Solids per
yearfrom stormwater before it entersRice Creekand subsequently Locke Lake and the Mississippi River.
The City submitted a Stormwater Management GrantApplication to the Rice CreekWatershed District
to fund the installation of the structure and was awarded$30,000, based on the maximum grant award
of 50% of the estimated project cost. The City has also been awarded grant funding from the Mississippi
Watershed Management Organizationfor the installation of a hydrodynamic separator on Buchanan
Streetas part of this same road project.
Financial Impact
Thegrant award of $30,000 is expected to cover 50% of the estimated project cost of $60,000. The
required grant match of $30,000 is budgeted for within the approved 2024-2028 Capital Investment
Program to be paid from the Stormwater Fund. The Citywill be responsible for ongoing maintenance
of the hydrodynamic separator.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2024-45, Approving a Grant Agreement with the Rice
Creek Watershed District for a Hydrodynamic Separator within 2024 Street Rehabilitation Project

Resolution No. 2024-46, Approving a Grant Agreement with the Mississippi Watershed Management
Organization for Stormwater Improvements at Sylvan Hills Park
Background
Sylvan Hills Park is a 2.6-acre neighborhood park within the Sylvan Hills neighborhood. Approximately
77 acres drain to the park or the storm sewer running adjacent to it. The park and surrounding
neighborhood experience occasional flooding and untreated runoff from the area contributes to the
water quality impairments of the Mississippi River. During the Park System Improvement Plan planning
process, the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) identified Sylvan Hills as a
potential location for regional stormwater treatment and flood mitigation. A stormwater storage area
In partnership with the Cityof Fridley (City), MWMO conducted a feasibility study to refine the concept
plan to maximize recreational benefits, water quality and quantity improvements, and provide pollinator
habitat. An update concept plan was developed including an underground infiltration basin to treat
runoff from the municipal separate storm sewer systemand surface water features to treat runoff from
local roadways and park infrastructure. To maximize treatment of stormwater from the storm sewer
system, a small section of sewer line will be redirected under Rainbow Driveinto the underground
infiltrationbasinas part of the project. The proposed plan maintains the recreational improvements
detailed inthe original concept plan and including alarge, mowable green space while adding additional
opportunities for nature-based play.
It is expected that these improvements will provide 16.1 pounds of phosphorus removal and 5,000
pounds of sediment removal annuallyfrom stormwater discharging to the Mississippi River. Modeling
also indicatesreducedflooding within the park and surrounding neighborhood during 10-and 100-year
storm events. There will be approximately 27,000 square feet of pollinator habitat created in line with

the feasibility study plus a 20% contingency. The improvements would be scheduled for construction as
part of the larger Park System Improvement Plan project occurring at Sylvan Hills in Fall 2024.
Financial Impact
The grant award of $1,493,000 is expected to cover the full cost of the design, construction, and
construction administration associated with the project. The City has a required match of $15,000 which
is budgeted for within the approved 2024-2028 Capital Investment Program and paid through the
Stormwater Fund. The City will be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the project to be budgeted
and paid for within the Stormwater Fund. There is no expected financial impact to the cost of planned
recreational improvements to Sylvan Hills Park occurring as part the Park System Improvement Plan as
a result of this project.

Exhibit A to MWMO Capital Project Grant Agreement #2022418
Project Name: Sylvan Hills Park Regional Treatment
Project Description and Purpose
At its March 12, 2024 meeting, the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO)
Board of Commissioners approved a $1,493,000 Capital Improvement Project grant (Resolution
2024-010) to the City of Fridley to fund an underground stormwater infiltration tank, surface
infiltration basins, bioswales, and native habitat restoration at Sylvan Hills Park in Fridley, MN.
The Sylvan Hills Park project aims to capture approximately 77 acres of stormwater from the
surrounding neighborhood, streets, and railway. A combination of surface and underground
stormwater treatment features will maximize the amount of stormwater captured through curb
cuts, stormsewer pipe redirection, and an underground pipe diversion. The surface stormwater
features will be accompanied by native pollinator habitat throughout the park.
Stormwater Management and/or Habitat Improvements
The Grantee is proposing underground and aboveground stormwater infrastructure, native
habitat, and a nature-focused play area as described below:
1. Stormwater management for the site will be achieved through a series of above- and
below-ground stormwater best management practices (BMPs) integrated throughout the
park and capturing off-site stormwater runoff. Curb cuts at the northern and southern
ends of the park will bring additional runoff into the park. Infiltration basins at these
ends are intended primarily for pre-treatment. Bioswales will connect these basins to a
centrally-located infiltration basin, which will be located alongside and integrated with a
playground with nature-focused play elements. The basins will be designed with a
shallow depth and drawdown in less than 48 hours after storm events.
A diversion structure will divert stormwater runoff from existing stormsewer into an
underground infiltration tank in the park. This system will capture runoff from areas
north and west of the park covering around 63 acres of drainage area.
The overall volume capacity of site BMPs is 1.3 acre-ft, and BMPs are sized to capture
the 1.1-inch storm event. Expected water quality benefits include:
Annual total phosphorus removal: 16.1 lbs
Annual total suspended solids removal: 5,080 lbs
2. Restoration of native habitat within the stormwater BMPs and in other areas of the site,
totaling over 20,000 square feet.
The project may also include interpretive features to explain the establishment and benefits of the
stormwater BMPs and native vegetation to the general public. Interpretive features could include
links to any MWMO materials and pages.

AGENDA REPORT

Submitted By:Scott Hickok, Community DevelopmentDirector
Title
Ordinance No. 1422, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 105, Commissions, to Establish a Public
Arts Commission
Background
In the fall of 2023, the City was alerted that an anonymous donor had provided a $100,000 donation to
a public art initiative that the City of Fridley (City) had expressed as a goal when building the Civic
Campus. Thedonation inspired advancement of the Art Initiative and theCity was aware that at least
:
1. public engagement would be necessary to hear what the public desired as faras public art in the
City
2. a task force to shape the input the public would offer into a structure for planning, reviewing,
accepting and maintaining that art
3. a non-profit organization separate from the City to fundraise, accept the art donation and to partner
In the fall, the City hosted a series of three public engagement meetings. These meetings were well
attended and facilitated by Gretchen Nicholls and Barbara RayeofCDI, Minneapolis. The facilitators were
instrumental in drawing out the creative notions of those who attended. The goal of the sessions was
also to prepare a plan and recommendations for the Fridley City Council(Council)to help direct the
initiative in a way the public saw s
website in January.
Great things have grown out of recommendations:a task force, the idea to create a
501C3 non-profit as the fund-raising arm and the direction to start small with installations so policy can
form around the installations and the tax force can make a final policy plan document that includes not
only suggested art installation locations, but set policy for rotation (if appropriate), temporary
installations, maintenance, etc.
The task force, while still a task force named the 501C3, Fridley Creative Arts Foundation. The formative
legal documents necessary for a 501C3 are being reviewed and finalized at this time.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly,and stable home for families and businesses.
79
Jufn!21/
The task force has so enthusiastically taken on its role that the Mayor and Council have asked that the
task force be formally recognized as the Fridley Art Commission. The ordinance, once approved would
transition the group from a task force to an Art Commission.
The Public Arts Commission will be established to foster the development of the arts, to advise the
Council on arts-related matters and to stimulate participation in and appreciation of the arts by residents.
Financial Impact
Absorbed.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Ordinance No. 1422, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 105,
Commissions, to Establish a Public Arts Commission.
