15. Resolution No. 2025-71, Denying the Massage Therapy Business License Application and Massage
Therapy Individual License Application for Li Liu and Oasis Spa
Beth Kondrick, Deputy City Clerk, provided background information on the application that was
submitted
related findings from the review of the application, noting that the building code approval was
undetermined as the Building Official was unable to inspect the space. The applicant and business
also failed to meet the massage therapy business license conditions. She provided information on
the license condition related to a front-facing entrance and recommended denial of the individual
and business massage therapy applications.
Li Liu, applicant, stated that she has a few questions, and her friend Michael will be representing her.
Michael Mick stated that they had some concerns with the denial process, noting that they did not
receive a call or email about the inspection. He stated that they do have the keys and would have
opened the facility for inspection. He noted that the door was locked as the business was closed. He
stated that they would not be using the rear-facing door and would be using the front entrance. He
stated that Ms. Liu is an outstanding citizen and any community would welcome her. He stated that
she would contribute to the community, providing an example of food shelf donations.
Ms. Liu asked that the Council approve the license and stated that she would be willing to contribute
a portion of her business revenue to support those less fortunate in the community.

Councilmember Bolkcom Shop, which is not a separate
entrance. Mr. Mick commented that the spa would be in the back, so people would walk through the
store. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that the regulations require a separate entrance for
massage businesses. Mr. Mick replied that they could not do that as it would require a reconfiguration
three years.
Mayor Ostwald asked if that would meet the requirements of City Code, to walk through the Sport
Shop. Ms. Moore commented that the business would have to have a separate, distinct, front-facing
entrance to meet the requirements of City Code.
Councilmember Bolkcom referenced the previous business that existed and asked if that business
operated with customers walking through the Sport Shop. Ms. Moore commented that, to her
knowledge, the previous business utilized the Sport Shop entrance and the back entrance.
Mr. Mick commented that they do not understand why a separate front entrance is required and why
some businesses are allowed to operate in that same manner. He asked if they could call the business
Ms. Moore commented that
license and employ licensed therapists, that would be acceptable. Councilmember Bolkcom reiterated
that Ms. Liu would not be the business owner in that scenario, but would then be an employee of
Councilmember Vescio noted that the applicant referenced another business that is allowed to
operate without a separate front door entrance and asked the name of that business. Mr. Mick was
unsure of the name of that business but noted that there is another business within a few blocks of
this location. Ms. Kondrick commented that she assumes that is Salon Amore, which is a similar
situation to Lifetime.
Mayor Ostwald asked if there would be a one-year waiting period if the application were denied or
iness owner be able to strike
one-year waiting period for
Ms. Liu, apply, that would be a separate application
and review.
Councilmember Cardona recalled that a license was revoked for a massage therapy license earlier this
year and asked for clarification. Ms. Kondrick replied that the license that was revoked was revoked
in late March or early April, and this application was received in May.
Councilmember Cardona asked how the applicant became aware that the business location was
vacant. Mr. Mick replied that Ms. Liu is friends with the previous owner but did not want to have any
negative connotation associated with that friendship and the acts of the previous business.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there is a regulation that must be required, and the denial would
not be related to that relationship.

City Council Meeting 6/23/2025 Minutes Page 5
Mayor Ostwald asked if the applicant could retract their application to avoid the one-year waiting
period. Sarah Sonsalla, City Attorney, agreed that it would be better for the applicant to withdraw her
application rather than receive a denial to avoid the waiting period.
Ms. Liu asked for a copy of the building and City Code to ensure they can meet all requirements. She
requested to withdraw her application.
Ms. Sonsalla stated that the applicant has withdrawn the application and requested that Ms. Liu follow
up with an email confirming that she has withdrawn her application and no action of the Council is
needed. Ms. Moore commented that she would also email the applicant links to the City Code to
review as requested.
16. Resolution No. 2025-77, Revoking the On-Sale Liquor License Issued to Debesay Girmalul for
Continental Restaurant, 1040 Osborn Road
Mayor Ostwald asked the City Attorney to make a statement.
Ms. Sonsalla stated that this item is to consider the revocation of an intoxicating liquor license
pursuant to Minnesota Statute, Section 348.415, which requires the hearing that is being conducted
tonight. She stated that the staff report includes documents that are part of the hearing. She
described the process that would be followed for the hearing.
Ms. Kondrick presented a resolution for the Council to consider, which would revoke the on-sale
liquor license for Debesay Girmalul for Continental Restaurant at 1040 Osborne Road. She reviewed
a timeline of events beginning with the on-sale liquor license application in 2024 and concerns that
arose before renewals in 2025. She stated that the license was renewed in April of 2025. AGED agents
completed their own investigation in May of 2025. After completion of the investigations, public safety
and City staff determined several violations of the City Code and State Code, presenting those
violations. She stated that City staff were not made aware of the State investigation and results prior
to renewing the liquor license for 2025. Staff recommend approval of Resolution 2025-77 revoking
the liquor license.
Michael Cain and Debesay Girmalul approached the podium, explaining that Mr. Cain is representing
Mr. Girmalul and the Continental Restaurant in this matter. He asked for clarification on what the
record consists of. He stated objected to any information obtained against the business prior to the
2025 license renewal. He stated that the 2025 license was approved and believed that any evidence
st
prior to May 1 should be inadmissible. He stated that 1040 Osborne Road consists of three separate
entities, including the Continental Restaurant, Pilgrim Events Center, and Fridley Private Members
thth,
Association. He commented that Mr. Girmalul was married on May 9 and 10 and the Continental
Restaurant was closed that weekend. The event center was used for the wedding and wedding
celebration, and there was no liquor sold or served by the Continental that weekend. The alcohol that
was used for the events was brought by the patrons. He explained that Mr. Girmalul is of Ethiopian
descent and that type of wedding includes a traditional wine that is made by members of the
community. He admitted that was not purchased by a wholesale operation, but it also was not served
by Continental Restaurant. He stated that there was a different type of liquor, which is professionally
9
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 6/23/2025 Minutes Page 6
made and bottled but not made in Minnesota,that was found at the space,but also was used for the
wedding and not for sale by the Continental. He did not deny that there were individuals given that
liquor a day or two before the wedding, but stated that liquor was not for sale and consumption by
the restaurant and was intended for the wedding. He explained that because they could not receive
a delivery in a timely manner, they purchased beer and liquor from Total Wine. He stated that they
were working with the Fridley American Legion to comply with the local and State laws related to
bingo. He commented that the supplies were purchased in anticipation of the proper licensing. He
provided materials showing they were exploring bingo with the American Legion. He also provided
materials showing the declaration of the Council for the license to run through 2 a.m., and with a
lawful gambling endorsement. He asked that the Council impose a fine and suspension rather than
revocation. He asked that the Council accept the documents into the record.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to accept the three documents provided by Mr. Cain into the
record. Seconded by Councilmember Cardona.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Ostwald commented that there are many violations related to alcohol and gambling, along
with local violations about tobacco and alcohol. He asked public safety to provide additional
information.
Ryan George, Public Safety Director, stated that they are required to conduct two alcohol compliance
checks each year on every business that sells alcohol in Fridley. Continental was the only business to
fail, noting that the underage patron was 16 and presented their ID, which stated that they were 16.
He stated that the State also conducts random compliance checks, including checking records to
ensure that alcohol is purchased from a wholesaler and not a retail business.
Mayor Ostwald asked when the State notified them that they were doing an investigation. Mr. George
commented that he was made aware after the license renewal period.
Councilmember Evanson stated that the
options to consider and asked if those options exist. Ms. Kondrick commented that the Council would
have the authority to fine and suspend as well. Ms. Sonsalla stated that if a different option is chosen,
she would suggest that the Council direct staff to prepare those documents to present at a future
meeting.
Councilmember Evanson asked for more details on a potential suspension period and whether that
could be extended or deviation could occur if that option is chosen. Ms. Sonsalla stated that the
Council would need to align with the City Code on a period of suspension and noted that she would
quickly investigate that information.
Councilmember Cardona acknowledged the statement that was made that the bingo supplies were
purchased in anticipation of a potential license being obtained. He noted that the business website
states that bingo is held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Mondays each week. Mr. Girmalul stated that they have
not operated bingo at the site, noting that information was added to the website once the agreement
:
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 6/23/2025 Minutes Page 7
was signed with the American Legion. He stated that the supplies were never taken out of the office,
and the game was never played.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that as far as she knows, the only organization that can run bingo is
a nonprofit. She asked if there was a conversation with City staff about bingo. She asked if the Legion
would be hosting bingo at this location. Mr. Cain explained that Mr. Girmalul would be partnering
with the nonprofit, the American Legion, which would then come to the facility to run bingo and keep
would bring additional patrons to his business who may then purchase food or drink.
Mr. Cain asked if it is true that a for-profit business can partner with a nonprofit to operate bingo or
pull tabs. Mayor Ostwald commented that the nonprofit must be within Fridley.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the applicant had purchased the bingo supplies in anticipation of
having bingo with the American Legion. Mr. Girmalul replied that they did not start bingo. Mr. Cain
commented that the picture shows the packaged bingo cards and daubers, but there was no number
spinner found. Councilmember Bolkcom asked why the supplies were purchased before there was
an agreement for bingo. Mr. Girmalul replied that they are marketing the business to grow, and they
wanted to be ready for bingo when it is available.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she does not understand the confusion, and it is concerning to
her that a business owner has multiple activities that are not legal. She stated that the business was
purchasing alcohol from other sources and has a long list of things they did wrong when other
businesses follow the rules. She stated that these things did not all happen in one month, and they
had to know that these things were not right. Mr. Girmalul stated that the alcohol that was homemade
is their traditional drink. He acknowledged that was a mistake, but did not know that was not allowed
for his event. He commented that alcohol was related to the events of his wedding weekend.
Councilmember Bolcom commented that there have been other incidents when the rules were not
followed. Mr. Cain confirmed that there were mistakes made, and they are taking accountability for
that. He stated that, in regard to the December incident, they believe their license is valid through 2
a.m. and therefore they were operating in those confines. He noted that other communities have a
list of offenses that do not revoke a license after a first offense.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that this was not just one offense, but instead a combination
of offenses over a period of time.
Councilmember Vescio stated that state identification is used for the decoy compliance checks and
asked how a bartender would not recognize a state ID and serve alcohol. Mr. Cain commented that
there is no justification for the failure, and they instead admitted that and explained how it would be
remedied.
Councilmember Vescio stated that it was mentioned that there were three businesses within the
location, which are the restaurant, banquet hall, and hookah lounge. He asked if those businesses
require separate licensing. Ms. Kondrick replied that the license is for the Continental Restaurant, and
the other entities were not part of the floor plan when the license was received.
21
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 6/23/2025 Minutes Page 8
Councilmember Vescio referenced the liquor that is not wholesaled from Minnesota, which was on
the shelf with other liquor, including Kirkland Irish cream liquor. He stated that liquor should not have
been on the premises. He recognized the statement that the business was closed during the wedding
events, but this alcohol was found on the premises during business hours. Mr. Cain clarified that was
not part of the wedding but part of a separate event. He stated that they admit to that and do not
want to muddy the facts. He stated that the traditional Ethiopian drinks were part of the wedding,
but the beer and Baileys were not part of the wedding and were a mistake of the Continental
Restaurant, explaining that the restaurant was trying to meet the needs of an event and acknowledged
that was a mistake.
Councilmember Cardona commented that they aim to have trust with their businesses in Fridley, and
he supports cultural establishments within the community. He stated that this does not feel like a
first-time offense because there are so many things that add up. He stated that there also does not
seem to be trust, as the business's Facebook page also advertises bingo each week. He stated that
does not help him build trust as they claim they have never played bingo, but the business repeatedly
advertises for bingo.
Councilmember Vescio stated that the information provided for the gambling license is not any
evidence of an agreement or moving forward, but is a business card and information on how a
gambling license could be obtained. He noted that anyone could print that information. Mr. Cain
commented that he would like the Council to consider that is evidence that they were attempting to
go about bingo in the right way.
Councilmember Bolkcom referenced the unruly activity that was documented in December and asked
public safety if there were other calls they responded to related to similar activity or when the business
was open past the allowed time. Chief George replied that there were no other incidents of that
nature to his knowledge.
Councilmember Evanson referenced City Code related to a potential suspension of the license and
asked if that information was correct. Ms. Sonsalla referenced the section of City Code relating to this
type of suspension and provided additional details. Ms. Moore clarified that a suspension shall not
exceed 60 days.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked and received confirmation that a suspension could be up to 60 days
and asked if stipulations could be added to the suspension. Ms. Sonsalla confirmed that stipulations
could be added and commented that she would want the applicant to also agree to the stipulations.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that there has been a huge failure on the staff and the business
related to following the rules. She commented that the rules must be followed, and the business
must plan ahead for events. She stated that if there is a suspension considered, she would want very
specific rules listed to ensure the business follows those rules.
Wally Wysopal, City Manager, commented that the Council should not be considering this as a first
offense, noting that there was a violation within the past 12 months and continued violations that
occurred after that. He asked the Council to consider the degree of violations that have taken place.
22
Jufn!2/
City Council Meeting 6/23/2025 Minutes Page 9
He stated that a fine was paid when the underage person was served,and multiple and more severe
violations occurred after that time. He stated that this is the first time he is being made aware that
there are three businesses. He stated that there is one business with a liquor license and asked if
other businesses can be added to a liquor license without the knowledge of the City. Chief George
commented that the database shows Continental Restaurant at 1040 Osborne Road as the sole
licensee. He stated that a liquor licensee cannot sublease their license to anyone else. The liquor
license holder is solely responsible for everything that occurs on the premises. He stated that when
the hookah lounge was brought to the attention of staff, they reached out to the business to ask if
there was a hookah lounge, and the business replied that there was not.
Councilmember Evanson asked if the license was to be revoked, whether the business could still
operate as food only. Mr. Kondrick confirmed that is accurate.
Mr. Cain stated that State Statute allows the City to fine up to $2,000 per violation, suspend up to 60
days, and revoke. He stated that they are not attempting to shift blame to anyone else or any other
entities. He stated that they are being accountable and request leniency for the incidents that have
occurred.
Mayor Ostwald stated that there are multiple infractions that have taken place over a longer period
of time. He stated that the goal of the Council is public safety of the residents and businesses. He
stated that this is a diverse community, and they would love to see the business succeed, but
ultimately, the owner has to be aware of the regulations and follow those regulations. He stated that
there is a pile of five or six violations on the City and State levels. He asked legal counsel if all
requirements of the hearing have been completed. Ms. Sonsalla replied that the City staff provided
its presentation, the licensee had an opportunity to speak, and both parties were able to examine
those making statements. She recognized that exhibits were submitted into the record, and if any
other exhibits desire to be submitted, that should be done before the close of the hearing. She stated
that the action before the Council is the resolution revoking the license, and if a different option is
chosen, that should be done through direction to staff to be prepared and brought back for future
consideration.
Councilmember Evanson stated that his thoughts behind a potential suspension were that it would
give the business owner time to review and understand the regulations of the license and business.
He was unsure that the owner understood how to operate the liquor side of the business. He stated
that when the license was issued, the applicant stated that they understood the requirements. He
was unsure that 60 days would be enough time for the business owner to understand how to run the
liquor side of the business.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to approve Resolution No. 2025-77, Revoking the On-Sale
Liquor License Issued to Debesay Girmalul for Continental Restaurant. Seconded by
Councilmember Cardona.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.

Accessory Dwelling Unit Permit for the Property Located at 6187 Heather Circle, Owned by Hamdi
Barre
Mayor Ostwald acknowledged that there is no one in the audience to represent the applicant.
Nancy Abts, Senior Planner, stated that Ms. Barre provided an email expressing her regrets in not
being able to attend and detailing her comments. She asked the Council to review the administrative
actions taken thus far, request an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Permit, and consider a resolution
She commented that there is minimal discretion for an ADU Permit.
She stated that the appeal tonight is related to an application for an ADU Permit, which was denied.
She provided more information from City Code related to the appeal process, noting that the City
Council shall review the record and recommendation created by the Planning Commission within 20
st
days. She provided an overview of the hearing held by the Planning Commission on May 21. She
reviewed the appeal arguments made by the applicant as submitted within the appeal and the related
responses of City staff.
Mayor Ostwald provided additional information on the action before the Council tonight.
Councilmember Bolkcom referenced a statement from the applicant that they did not receive proper
notification. She asked if information was sent to the homeowner following the Planning Commission
meeting, as the homeowner did not attend the Commission meeting. Ms. Abts stated that Ms. Barre
th
received a copy of the written findings of fact, which were emailed on May 27. She stated that in
the request for an appeal, Ms. Barre asked for an appeal at the first available Council meeting. She
confirmed that staff provided as much
request. confirmed that he also debriefed the resident on the
Commission meeting results.
Councilmember Cardona asked if sufficient notice was provided to the resident and whether a
decision needs to be made tonight. Ms. Abts replied that staff notified Ms. Barre that the hearing
th
would take place at this meeting, and written notice was provided to Ms. Barre on June 18. On June
th,
20 Ms. Barre requested that the hearing be delayed for an additional 30 days, which would be
outside of the 20-day timeframe identified within City Code for this appeal process. There is not
another regularly scheduled City Council meeting within the allowed timeframe. She explained that
the process tonight is for the Council to consider the process and decision of the Planning
Commission and would not allow for new information to be presented.
Councilmember Evanson commented that even though notification was provided on Wednesday, the
resident should have prepared their information prior to that time, as the findings of fact were
th
provided to Ms. Barre on May 27.
Mayor Ostwald asked if the email from Ms. Barre has been entered into the record. Ms. Abts replied
that staff is asking that be accepted into the record.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to accept the email from Ms. Barre into the record. Seconded
by Councilmember Vescio.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the next step would be for the resident if the Council upholds
the decision of the Planning Commission. Ms. Abts replied that the permit would officially be denied
through the City, and if the resident wished to continue the appeal, it would go through the court
system. Ms. Sonsalla provided additional information on the continued appeal process.
Councilmember Evanson asked how a denied ADU permit would be enforced. Mr. Wysopal asked
that the Council complete the appeal process prior to asking additional questions such as that.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to approve Resolution No. 2025-82, Affirming the Planning
Commission Determination Regarding an Accessory Dwelling Unit Permit for the Property Located at
6187 Heather Circle, Owned by Hamdi Barre. Seconded by Councilmember Vescio.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Abts stated that this is a unique situation and has been extensively talked about by staff. She
stated that the City needs to ensure that the property is safe for the occupants, as there is significant
documentation of unpermitted work that has occurred on the property. She stated they will request

An event may require a Special Event Permit if it meets any of these criteria:
On City property for an event that is inconsistent with the typical use of the space
Attendance exceeds 50 or more individuals
Requires City services such as police, fire, or public works

Permit Required
A Special Event Permit is required for all special events as defined by the Code. Conducting a special
event without a permit is a violation of the Code. A permit is not required for the use of traditional
public forums as alternative channels of communication by the public, provided that such use is for
the free exercise of constitutionally protected activities and does not disrupt or interfere with traffic
on public streets or the use of public places by other members of the public.
To obtain a Special Event Permit, an application must be submitted through the City’s online licensing
and permitting application.
Application Review Process
Once a Special Event Permit application is submitted, it undergoes a comprehensive review process
by the City, designed to support an event's success.
Initial Review
The review begins with an initial assessment of the application. The City Manager’s Office will check
that all required documentation is present and properly completed. If any information is missing or
needs clarification, the applicant will be contacted. This initial review helps identify any obvious
concerns or requirements early in the process.
Department Review
The application then moves to a detailed departmental review. Different aspects of the event will be
evaluated by relevant City departments including City Manager, Police, Fire, Public Works and Parks
and Recreation. Each department brings specific expertise to ensure an event meets all safety and
operational requirements.
42
Jufn!5/
For example:
The City Manager’s Office reviews the permit application for completeness, compliance and
routing to additional departments.
The Police Division reviews security and traffic control plans and conducts background checks
of event organizers. A background check includes review of the event organizers’ criminal
history, previous ordinance compliance history and other safety records.
The Fire Division evaluates emergency access and safety measures.
The Public Works Department assesses infrastructure needs, impact and facility use.
The Parks and Recreation Department reviews facility use and conservation measures.
Communication
Throughout this process, an applicant may receive requests for additional information or
requirements for modifying plans. Ongoing communication is encouraged during this phase to
address any questions or concerns quickly.
Final Review and Approval
The final step is overall review and determination. The City Manager or a designee will evaluate the
complete application package along with department recommendations. They may require
additional conditions to address specific concerns. Once all requirements are met and the City
Manager or a designee approves the application, applicants will be notified of the determination.
Application Requirements
The application must include all the elements relevant to the proposed event. Each requirement
includes guidance to help develop City and State regulation-compliant plans.
Application Details
Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and must be submitted no less
than 90 days before the event date.
Applications submitted less than 90 days before the event date will incur an additional fee
and risk non-approval.
Applications submitted less than 30 days prior to the date of an event will be reviewed by the
City Manager and may be denied.

The certificate of insurance must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event. Insurance coverage
must be maintained for the duration of the special event. An indemnification agreement must be
signed to hold the City harmless from any liability arising from the event, except any claims arising
solely out of the negligent acts or omissions of the City.
Applicants are not required to obtain liability insurance or sign an indemnification agreement if the

Inspections and Site Restoration

48
Jufn!5/
Preliminary Safety Inspection
A preliminary safety inspectionby the Citymust be conducted within twenty-four hours before the
event start time, after setup is complete. This inspection focuses on ensuring permit requirements
and all public safety requirements are met before the event can begin. Inspections may be conducted
by the Building Division, Fire Division, Public Works and other departments as needed.
If the preliminary inspection reveals violations, the event cannot begin until these issues are
corrected. A follow-up inspection may be required to verify compliance. Serious violations or inability
to correct safety issues may result in permit revocation.
Post-Event Requirements and Final Inspection
Event organizers are responsible for returning all publicly used spaces to their original condition
within 24 hours of the event's conclusion. This includes removing all temporary structures and
equipment, repairing any ground damage, properly disposing of waste and recycling and clearing
the site of all event-related materials.
The City will perform a post-event inspection which will be led by Public Works. The inspection occurs
within twenty-four hours after event cleanup is complete. During this inspection, City staff will:
Assess the condition of public property, including grounds, landscaping and infrastructure
Check pavement, turf areas, trees and site amenities
Verify proper utility disconnection and restoration of any ground disturbance
Ensure all event-related items have been removed
Confirm proper waste disposal and site cleanup.
The inspection must verify that all equipment has been removed, no damage has occurred to City
property and all cleanup requirements have been met. Failed restoration inspections may result in
the withholding of security deposits. If cleanup or restoration is inadequate, the City may complete
the work and charge the event organizer for associated costs.
Revocation and Denial of Permits
The public’s health and safety are the City’s primary concern when evaluating a Special Event Permit
application. Permits may be denied or revoked if the event poses a threat to public safety, violates
the Code or other City policies, or if the applicant provides false or insufficient information.
Applications showing insufficient plans for security, emergency response, or crowd management may
be denied. Similarly, if an event would place an unreasonable burden on City services or conflict with
previously scheduled events, the permit may be denied.
Even after a permit is approved, certain circumstances may require the City to revoke it. Serious
violations of permit conditions or City requirements may result in immediate revocation. This
includes:
Exceeding approved attendance limits
Failing to maintain required insurance coverage
49
Jufn!5/
Misrepresenting event activities
Creating unsafe conditions
Emergency situations affecting public safety.

processing costs. Applications submitted less than 90 days prior to the date of an event incur an
additional $120 late fee and risk non-approval due to timing constraints. Applications submitted less
than 30 days prior to the date of an event will be reviewed by the City Manager and may be denied.
Security Deposits
A security deposit is required to protect City property and ensure proper event cleanup. The deposit
amount will be $500 or 20% of an event’s total City service costs, whichever is higher. Deposits will
be returned after passing the post-event inspection, meeting all cleanup requirements and settling
any final charges, provided no damage to City property is found.

51
Jufn!5/
submitted as soon as possible to allow adequate review time. The feasibility of accommodating
changes will be on a case-by-case basis, but could be evaluated based on:
Type and scale of the proposed changes
Timing of the request
Impact on public safety and City resources
Effect on other scheduled events or activities.
In emergency situations (severe weather, public safety concerns, etc.), City staff will work with event
organizers to evaluate conditions and determine necessary modifications. The City reserves the right
to deny changes or cancel approved events for inadequate review time, non-compliance with
policies, public safety concerns or misrepresentation of event details.

Title
ResolutionNo. 2025-87,Authorizing Execution of anEasementAgreement with CenterPoint Energy
Background
CenterPoint Energy has been working to replace one of its primary gas lines through the Cities ofFridley
and Coon Rapids over the last fouryears. The final segments are planned for 2025 construction. One
segment of transmission piperuns within a CenterPoint Energy easement onthe western edge of
Springbrook Nature Center (SNC) property abutting the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF)railroad.
segmentin 2024 but due to the interference from the
nearbyXcel Energy high voltage power lines, which exist in easements that were granted after
CenterPoint established an easement in this area and the shallow groundwater prevented completion
of this replacement.
CenterPoint has exhausted feasible optionsfor replacing the gas in its current location. These included
open trenching with shoring and modifying the SNC weir, both of which would have impacted wetlands,
and would have been costly and risky to construct.
CenterPoint Energy subsequentlyrequesteda new gas main easement within the SNC property, east of
the eastern high voltage power lines, under the SNC pond. This gas main would be installed with a
trenchless installation; the new main would be drilled wellbeneaththe pond(-). The
new main would be installed with sufficient depth so that any future dredging of the water body would
not be impacted. The staging location for the drill work would be in the vicinity ofthe southwestern
most point of atrailand northwest of the pond. CenterPoint would install matting to be used as a
temporary trail area during construction. The attached exhibits show the approximate location of the
proposed easement on an aerial view of SNC.
There would be some land disturbance and tree removals needed to gain access to the site, but the City
of Fridley (City) has worked with CenterPoint Energy to minimize these impacts. The green spaces would
be restored with the existing seed bedsasexcavations are backfilled. There are also many mixes of
natural prairie grasses that are available and be used to overseed the area to retore it closely to
preconstruction conditions. CenterPoint has done similar restorative actions in the Minnesota River
Valley on US Fish andWildlife preserve land in 2015 and 2022 with success.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
94
Jufn!23/
In normal circumstances, an easement such as this is located in a public Right-of-Way, which is generally
impacted property, and established for such a purpose. CenterPoint Energy does have additional
easements in and along City parkland elsewhere in the City. These types of easements are generally
renumerated to the City, as grantee, via generally established estimates with a consideration for specific
impacts. Due to the preserved nature of the Springbrook Nature Center property, the City has worked
with CenterPoint Energy to 1) minimize the surface and shallow impacts to the existing property,
as a water main crossing, floating boardwalk, and pond maintenance, and 3) due to the well-preserved
natural stat of the SNC property, include additional funding for the easement. Staff negotiated a cost of
$50,000 in exchange for the proposed easement.
Language in the easement was also modified to provide additional preservation measures and
assurances from CenterPoint Energy. Staff are therefore recommending approval of the attached
agreement and the establishment of this easement.
Financial Impact
The agreement would provide additional funding to the City that is not included in the current budget.
Terms of the agreement also avoid creating additional maintenance costs for the City.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution No. 2025-87, Authorizing Execution of an Easement
Agreement with CenterPoint Energy.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date:July14,2025 Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:Jim Kosluchar, Director of Public Works
Jason Wiehle, Utility Manager
Title
ResolutionNo. 2025-88,Authorizing a Call for Bids for the Locke Park WTP GAC Treatment Addition
Project No. 24-199
Background
In January of 2024, the City Council(Council)passed Resolution No. 2024-10,Authorizing a Grant
Agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for Locke Park Water Treatment Augmentation
Design. This project would include construction of a drinking water treatment plant addition to provide
granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment. The project is in response to a Health Risk Advisory issued
to the City of Fridley(City)by theMinnesota Department of Health in 2019 regarding the presence of
Due to the risk to public health outlined in the advisory, the City immediately took the well out of service.
Subsequently, staff has requested inclusion for the project in the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF)
Intended Use Plan (IUP), which prioritizes eligible projects statewide (see attached). This request was
approved and the project was prioritized in the IUP in late 2024. Due to the health risks associated with
PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, the Locke Park project was determined to be eligible for
application for DRWF loan funding. The DWRF offers low-interest loans for drinking water improvement
projects at a discounted interest rate preferable to those typically obtained by issuing bonds. The project
is also eligible for a New Emerging Contaminants program allowing loan forgiveness of up to $3 million
per project, including those projects that address PFAS contamination.
The proposed upgrade includes the addition of a GAC treatment building between the original water
treatment plant building and the backwash tank, which was accommodated during a prior upgrade to
add the backwash tank. The project is veryprotective of public health and will allow the City to have a
new level of treatment at one of its three water treatment plants, which may be of additional benefit
should additional contaminants emerge. The project has a projected construction cost of $6,632,000 and
contemplates construction start planned for late 2025 through early 2027 if funded. Resolution 2025-25,
passed by theCouncil in March, authorized staff to pursue and apply for a DWRF loan application.
The application has been found to be complete so far and we are indicated as eligible for the $3 million
in loan forgiveness for the project. The final element needed for our application is bid pricing.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Staff aretherefore requesting a call for bids for the Locke Park WTP GAC Treatment Addition Project No.
24-199. Bid letting will be scheduled for August, and if reasonable, the results will be submitted to our
Public Facilities Authority loan agent to provide a final eligibility determination. Should these steps go
favorably, staff would bring a recommendation of award to the Council in August or September.
Financial Impact
The project is included in the 2025-2029 Capital Investment Plan, and loan payments would be from
the Water Utility Fund. Budgeted revenue projections for the water utility assume a 5% increase in
water sales annually to support this as well as other capital project expenses, and a lower increase
could support the project if the project is allocated loan forgiveness.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the approval of Resolution 2025-88, Authorizing a Call for Bids for the Locke Park
WTP GAC Treatment Addition Project No. 24-199.
