15. Ordinance No. 1428, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 209, Fees, to Update Fees Related
to Rental Housing Licensure (First Reading)
Paul Bolin,
housing program as well as details on the current rental housing stock. He stated that the current
license fee structure has remained unchanged for more than a decade and no longer covers the
demands of the program nor does it compare to fees charged by other cities in the metro. He
reviewed the staff recommendation to increase the licensing fees.
Mayor Ostwald asked if the increase would more accurately cover the cost of staffing. Mr. Bolin
confirmed that to be correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked the number of visits that can be made to a property before additional
fees are charged. Mr. Bolin replied that the rental inspectors strive to work with property owners to
bring them into compliance. He explained that with an initial inspection if issues are identified, staff
would return a second time to determine if those issues have been corrected. He noted that if a third
visit is required, additional fees come into play.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if additional fees are charged if the property owner does not show
up to the scheduled inspection. Mr. Bolin replied that an additional charge does occur if the property
owner does not show up to a scheduled visit.
Councilmember Evanson stated that rent continues to increase and would assume that these costs
are passed to tenants rather than absorbed by landlords. He asked how this program benefits the
tenants. Mr. Bolin explained that the inspections are for the benefit of residents. He stated of the
8,000 violations that are found some of those are life safety issues and provided examples.

Motion made by Councilmember Vescio to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 1428, Amending
the Fridley City Code Chapter 209, Fees, to Update Fees Related to Rental Housing Licensure. Seconded
by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.
16. Resolution No. 2025-05, Receiving a Petition and Ordering Preparation of a Preliminary Report for
Traffic Calming Improvements Along East Danube Road
Jim Kosluchar, Public Works Director, stated that during the public engagement process for the
upcoming road construction project staff were advised of traffic speed and volume concerns on East
Danube Road between Matterhorn and Innsbruck. He stated that the draft resolution receives a
petition from owners on East Danube Road and requests a report be completed by staff that will
summarize whether the addition of traffic calming is feasible. He provided background information,
additional details on the traffic calming meeting that was held with the residents of East Danube Road,
the subsequent petition that was received, and the next steps.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that it was great to receive the input of the residents at a
previous meeting on this topic. She asked for clarification on whether the cost for traffic calming
would only be assessed to the directly benefiting properties. Mr. Kosluchar stated that the report will
provide additional details on anticipated costs and most likely those improvements would be
assessable to those directly fronting onto the road. He confirmed that both traffic counts and speed
are collected as part of the data collection. He noted that while there was not a huge concern with
speed as shown through the data, the road is convenient for drivers to cut through.
Councilmember Evanson reviewed some elements that could be considered for traffic calming that
would range in cost and asked how those solutions would be decided upon. Mr. Kosluchar explained
that the report will review the best options for traffic calming based on the information gathered. He
stated that speed humps were more supported by the residents in attendance at the traffic calming
meeting.
Wally Wysopal, City Manager, commented that even though this action was resident-initiated, staff
will be expending resources to complete this report. He stated that if the ultimate decision of the
residents is not to pursue improvements, the cost of that staff time would not be recouped.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to approve Resolution No. 2025-05, Receiving a Petition and
Ordering Preparation of a Preliminary Report for Traffic Calming Improvements Along East Danube
Road. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.

Title
Ordinance No. 1428, Amending the Fridley City Code Chapter 209, Fees, to Update Fees Related to
Rental Housing Licensure (Second Reading)
Background
Thecurrentlicensefee structure ($100 for single-family and $150 for two-unit rentals) has remained
unchanged for over a decade and no longer adequately covers rental program operating costs. A
survey of neighboring cities demonstrates the City of Fridley (City)fees are substantially below market
rates. Comparable cities average $232 for single-family and $293 for two-unit rentals, with some
municipalities charging up to $400. The Cities of Brooklyn Center, Columbia Heights, and St. Louis Park
-cities of similar size and demographics -charge significantly higher fees than the City.
Staff haveproposed anordinance that will bring license fees closer to the average fee
being charged bycomparablecities. The increase will cover the costs of administering the rental
program.License fees will now range between $200 for a single-familyunit and $275 for a two-unit
rental, up to $350 + $20/unit for buildings with fiveor more rental units. In 2024, thecurrent license
fees generated $183,145in revenues. The new fee structure is expected to generate approximately
$213,540 in 2025.
TheCityCouncil held the first reading of Ordinance No. 1428 on January 27,2025.
Financial Impact
Increased fees will ensure that rental property owners are paying for the cost of licensing and
inspections.
Recommendation
Staff recommendthe City Council hold the second reading of Ordinance No.1428, Amending the
Fridley City Code Chapter 209, Fees, to Update Fees Related to Rental Housing Licensure.
Staff recommend approval of a summary of Ordinance No. 1428 to be published in the Official
