Acting Chair Meisner asked for more details on the odor mitigation and waste material. Mr. Doherty provided additional details on the odor mitigation process the company uses. He stated that the OCM has regulations to be followed for waste management of plant material. 24 Jufn!4/ Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 10/15/2025 Acting Chair Meisner asked if there would be an extra burden on fire safety and/or public safety.

He commented Њ 28 Jufn!5/ Park Commission 9/2/2025 Minutes Page 2 that the Fridley 49er Days Committee met to recap the most recent event, and a representative is present to further discuss the event and potential future changes. Jo Young, 49er Days Committee, stated that the organization has been looking at options for doing something different for the event. She discussed the name of the event and noted a desire to better publicize the reason for the 49er Days name rather than changing the name. She commented on the wet conditions in past years and a desire to change the date. She stated that the Committee was interested in potentially combining the 49er Days event with an opening for Commons Park. She noted that they have spoken to the City Manager, who supports the concept, and therefore she is present to gain the opinion of the Commission. She provided some concepts that the Committee has been discussing to update the event. Chair Borman stated that the only hesitation he would have is whether the park would be open in July. He acknowledged that the plan is to have the park open before that time, but there could be a potential for project delays. Commissioner Shultz agreed that the changed date makes sense. Commissioner Rehlander suggested a history walk to help reinforce the 49er Days theme. She agreed that they should keep the name and work to educate people about the meaning. Chair Borman stated that the Fridley 49er Days Committee is separate from the City, although they work cooperatively together. He recognized that when he served on the Committee, there was a cost to the organization of about $25,000 to $30,000 for the event. Ms. Young stated that the parade is fully funded through the Lions at a cost of $14,500. She stated that the Fridley 49ers 501-3C spent $43,000 on the festival this year. She estimated that the event would have a cost in excess of $50,000 for 2026. Chair Borman provided information about the carnival that was once a part of the event, which does not have a cost to the Committee and would include some type of profit sharing. Ms. Young commented that she has been contacted by a carnival company, but the festival Committee is not interested in adding a carnival back into the festival because of concerns with liability, public safety, and safety. She confirmed that their next step is to discuss the potential changes with the City Council. Mr. Maher provided additional information on the next steps, should the Commission support the change to the dates. Commissioner Rehlander noted a potential conflict with the Community Theater and the related parking lot at the high school. Ms. Young confirmed that she would find out additional information. Commissioner Kirk commented that there will always be some potential conflicts, but agreed with the proposed date change. 29 Jufn!5/ Park Commission 9/2/2025 Minutes Page 3 Motion by Commissioner Schultz to support the Fridley 49er Festival date changes and maintain the 49er Days name with increased marketing and outreach.

He provided additional information on the proposed project, Cooperative Agreement, required matching funds from the City of Fridley, and the proposed scope of work for Innsbruck Nature Center. Commissioner Schultz asked if this work would be similar to the work at Springbrook. Mr. Maher explained that the work being done at Springbrook is being done by hand through volunteers, whereas this work would be completed by contractors with equipment and herbicide. Chair Borman asked if this would be a five- or seven-year commitment. Mr. Maher replied that the work would be completed within a period of five years. Commissioner Rehlander asked how the City became aware of the program. Mr. Maher replied that the City has worked with Great River Greening in the past and provided more information on the grant application process. Motion by Commissioner Kirk to recommend approval of the Cooperative Agreement between the City of Fridley and Great River Greening for habitat restoration at Innsbruck Nature Center.

DOF, a private soccer club, is seeking to lease tenant spaces that are addressed as 7264-7266 Commerce Circle East, within the multi-tenant building at 7280 Commerce Circle East, to hold year-round private training sessions. The management company on behalf of the property owner has given the petitioner permission to submit this conditional use permit application. Site Description and History rd The subject property is located on 73 Avenue, west of University Avenue. It is zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The existing office/warehouse building was constructed in 1979. Several interior modifications for new tenants have been made over the years, but otherwise, the exterior of the property has remained the same. In 1985, a special use permit was approved to allow an office use not associated with a principal use. That special use permit was specific to the Minnesota Department of Jobs and Training office and was to be discontinued when they moved out of the building. In 1989, a special use permit was issued to allow a repair garage use. That special use permit was not limited to one business, so because a special use permit stays with the property, provided the conditions set forth on the permit are adhered to, a repair garage is still permitted as a special use on this property. In 2022, a special use permit was issued to allow Wild Things Unlimited LLC to have a small coffee shop within their retail/warehouse space. Code Requirements and Analysis The M-1, Light Industrial zoning district allows wholesaling, warehousing, manufacturing, construction, or service uses as principal permitted uses. Accessory uses include off-street parking, retail sales of products manufactured or warehouses, and offices associated with the principal use. Indoor commercial recreation within an industrial building is a conditional use. DOF is interested in leasing 9,061 sq. ft. of the 110,400 sq. ft. building at 7280 Commerce Circle East. Approximately 6,363 sq. ft. will be used as soccer training space. Turf will be installed over the existing concrete floor, and distinct training areas will be demarcated by short walls similar to hockey boards. Side and top netting will be installed to prevent stray soccer balls from leaving training spaces and potentially causing injury or damaging lighting and fire safety equipment. The 41 Jufn!7/ remaining square footage will be used for storage, a parent bathrooms. A photo of a similar facility located in Oakdale, Minnesota has been included below to provide an idea of what the space will look like after remodeling. T proposed floor planis attached. DOF anticipates their operating hours for the space will be 4 PM to 9 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 7 PM on weekends. Peak occupancy during operating hours is expected to be roughly40 people. Fridley City Code requires 175parking stalls for this property, based on the current uses in the buildingas well as the proposed use. There are 184 stalls on the subject property, with an additional 138 in the shared parking lot to the south, therefore the property is complaint in meeting their parking requirements.

DOF looking for an indoor space to hold private training sessions for up to 40 students at a time. DOF is going to hire Bismark Builders, LLC as the General Contractor to manage the project and pull the necessary permits to complete the project. The address of 7266 Commerce Circle East, Fridley, MN is the building that DOF is planning to lease. The building was previously used as a book binding business that housed equipment in a 100 ft by 45 ft area that Bismark Builders is proposing to install turf over the existing concrete floor for the training and practices. The existing office spaces are not going to be remodeled as that area is not needed for soccer training. Bismark Builders will update and remodel the building to bring the building up to today’s code compliance and industry standards for it to be deemed satisfactory for public use. Bismark Builders will be hiring JAMB Architects out of Forest Lake MN to do the drawings, code compliance review and occupancy calculations for the project. Once DOF takes occupancy of the building, their operating hours for training will be 4pm to 9pm during the weekdays and 9am to 7pm on the weekends. DOF is excited to bring in kids of all ages to be able to learn and play soccer all year round at this indoor space. DOF has a positive environment for kids to develop new team building and social skill. DOF has been growing at a rapid pace over the past few years and is going to be a great asset to the Fridley Community for years to come.

The Charter was first adopted by voters in 1957 and has been periodically updated since then. In accordance withM.S. § 410.12, subd. 7 the City posted Ordinance The recommended amendments to the Chapter are compiled into Ordinance No. 1435. Substantive revisions to the Chapter include: Section 5.01 adds definitions Section 5.04 changes the threshold of signatures required for an Initiative Petition from 15% of the total number of votes cast inthe last state general election in the City to 5% of the total number of votes cast in the last Presidential Election in the City Section 5.10 changes the threshold of signatures required for a Referendum Petition from 15% of the total number of votes cast in the last state general election in the City to 5% of the total number of votes cast in the last Presidential Election in the City. Analysis M.S. §410.12 addresses procedures for amending a city cSection410.12 allows for a charter to be amended in any of the following ways: 1.Petition a.Residents petitioning the Commission b.City Council initiating a petition to the voters 2.By Ordinance a.Submitted by Commission to Council b.Submitted by Council to Commission. The amendment under consideration is promulgated by ordinance from the Commission to the City Council. Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. 93 Jufn!:/ The power to amend the City Charter is shared among the City Council, Charter Commission and voters whose roles and responsibilities are identified in the following chapters of the Fridley City Charter. Chapter 1, Section 101 of the Fridley Charter defines a Home Rule Charter Commission as: evaluate and propose changes to the Fridley City Charter that reflect the importance of the Charter to enable effective govern The question with regard to the Charter Commissions authority to propose amendments to the Charter is: how does the Charter Commission reflect the values of the residents when they are appointed positions by the court and not elected by the voters? The Mayor and Council are elected directly by the voters. Chapter 2, Section 2.02 of the Charter defines The many powers of the City of Fridley are exercised through the City Council, and are articulated in Chapter 1, Section 1.04. The breadth and scope of these powers are expansive with the final item in the n and hereafter granted, the City of Fridley shall have full power to deal with all matters of municipal concern and have complete self-government in harmony Upon examination of these chapters of the Charter it becomes clear that power to amend the Charter is shared in unique and specific ways. The Charter Commission has the power to propose changes to the City Charter at any time and acts like a standing constitutional convention. If the City Charter does not work or proves to be faulty in operation, voters may initiate a petition to the Charter Commission, and the Commission must act. It has no discretion. imits amendments to only to those that However, the Charter does not provide the Charter Commissioners with the power to determine the The power to determine the values of the voters comes directly from a petition of the residents or from the City Council as the duly elected representatives of the voters in Chapter 1, Section 104.01. This may seem overly obvious as the Commissioners are not elected officials but appointed by the Court. Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. 94 Jufn!:/ on the part of the voters posed by the existing signature threshold limits. Therefore, it was asking the Commission to provide reason for the amendments. Additionally, staff have never received any call concerning the same. Therefore, the City Council should be surprised by the proposal to amend the signature threshold limits. Consequently, it leaves the Charter Commission in a position of over-reach as the sole determiner of resident values and not sharing in the powers of amendment. For the reasons stated above, staff recommend the Council not approve a first reading of Ordinance No. 1435. Next steps Should the Council advance the recommended amendment, staff anticipate the following schedule: !November 24 the Council will conduct the second reading of the Ordinance; !November 28 the Ordinance will be published in the Official Publication; !February 26 pursuant to M.S. ğ n ordinance amending a city charter shall not Financial Impact None.

On October 13, 2025, the report was presented to Council and a Public Hearing on Improvements was set for November 10, 2025 by Resolution No. 2025-134. The Hearing on Improvements was advertised in accordance with statutory requirements and officially published in the Star Tribune on October 23, 2025 and October 30, 2025. Additionally, adjacent property owners subject to special assessment were mailed notice of the public hearing on October 24, 2025. The mailing to each property owner included a preliminary assessment estimate and project update. The project is approximately 2.1 miles in length and is proposed for streets within the Melody Manor neighborhood(Ward 1), as shown in the attached project area map. The streets and underground utilities in the area were originally constructed in the 1960s. Since their initial construction, they have received periodic preventative maintenance, including seal coating, as recently as 2006 or 2009. The proposed streets have not received significant rehabilitation since their initial construction with the exception of Symphony Street and 74th Avenue, which were reconstructed in 2000.A total of 149 properties located within the project area are proposed to be assessed in accordance with the Cityof Fridley(City)Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy. On June 24, 2025, an open house was held for property owners and residents within the project to allow residents the opportunity to meet the project team in-person and ask questions regarding the proposed street project. In advance of the open house, property owners and residents were invited to view a virtual presentation on the project website ahead of the open house that provided a project overview, a tentative schedule, expected construction impacts, and Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. :9 Jufn!21/ special assessment details. The project website also had a link for an online survey for property owners and residents to fill out that included contact information, coordination of upcoming private work, property information, drainage or access concerns and complimentary camera inspection of sanitary sewer service. On October 2, 2025, an open house was held for property owners and residents. The open house featured a formal presentation highlighting the project area, project improvements scope, schedule and information on special assessments. Public feedback received was incorporated into the development of the Project feasibility report and will be implemented with the Project as is feasible. Proposed street rehabilitation with the Project will include asphalt reclaiming, asphalt paving, concrete curb & gutter spot replacement, and miscellaneous utility repairs. The existing pavement within the Project will be replaced by new bituminous pavement overtop aggregate base fortified by in-place pavement reclamation. Spot replacement of concrete curb & gutter will only occur along segments that are severely damaged, settled, or restrict the conveyance of storm water. Proposed improvements to the water distribution system will include the replacement of approximately 5,600 lineal feet of existing watermain, 11 fire hydrants and rehabilitation or replacement of other system appurtenances throughout the project. Locations for replacement of watermain and other system facilities were identified by Public Works staff based upon existing condition and functionality. The proposed water utility improvements are located along 5th Street, 74th Avenue, Symphony Street, Able Street, and 76th Avenue. The watermain work will include replacement of the main and a portion of the services. Proposed improvements to the existing sanitary sewer and storm sewer networks will include minor work for manhole and inlet adjustments, castings will be either replaced or reset as a part of the paving. The existing system structures are generally in good condition and are expected to exceed the service lift of the proposed pavement rehabilitation. Minnesota State Aid System (MSAS) funding, special assessments to benefiting properties and Utility CIP funds (water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer). Comments received at the public hearing will be considered and used in preparation of the finals for the Project.

In response to this legislation, the City of Fridley(City)adopted Ordinance 1426, Cannabis and Hemp Businesses, effective January 2025. Through its Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), the State licenses specific types of cannabis businesses, ranging from cannabis producers to processors, transporters, and retailers. Cities have been given limited authority to further regulate legalized cannabis, most notably through land use restrictions. Cannabis uses are treatedsimilarly to other uses in the City, with retail facilities generally located in business zoning districts and production and processing uses located in industrial and manufacturing districts. he zoning code, cannabis cultivation may occur within M-1, M-2, and M-3 Industrial zoning districts and requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Cultivation is only allowed within an enclosed building. Request Mark Dohertyof Grown Rogue Unlimited LLC, a Medford, Oregon-based cannabis company, requests approval for an indoorcannabis cultivation facility. Grown Rogue proposes to operate within the former Johnson Printing building located at 40 77th Avenue NE. Grown Rogue has cultivation operations in three states, including both indoor and outdoor cultivation areas in their home state of Oregon, and indoor cultivation facilities in New Jersey and Michigan. Indoor operations include sealed cultivation and processing rooms that do not exchange air with the exterior. This ensures controlled growing conditions for the cannabis as well as limiting odors. Air exchanges with outdoor air will be filtered through carbon filtration systems. Their proposed facility will meet operational and security standards imposed by OCM.

To enable the City to identify improvements that will provide for an efficient level of service and life-cycle cost, staff inspect and rate the City’s pavements on a regular basis. The City has also developed a pavement improvement plan based on resurfacing pavement and base treatment with intermittent sealcoating. The goal is to provide maintenance improvements at scheduled intervals. For example: ActivitySchedule Initial Construction Year 0 Street Maintenance Year 8 Street Maintenance Year 16 ResurfacingYear 24 Street Maintenance Year 32 Street Maintenance Year 40 Reconstruction Year 48 This is an ideal and aggressive sequence for street maintenance. Note that the final reconstruction may be substituted with resurfacing activities if the roadway base is in good condition, with the intent to extend road life for an additional cycle of 24 years. Due to the variability with budgets, road configurations, traffic patterns, condition of utilities, source of funds, other projects, etc., the basic schedule above varies and fluctuates for each roadway segment. As part of identifying the best candidate for this year’s pavement resurfacing project, City of Fridley Engineering Division staff worked with Street Maintenance Division staff to develop a list of candidate projects. Factors including physical pavement characteristics and budgetary considerations among others were then considered to assist in selection of the best candidate. The Engineering Division monitors existing pavements through semi-annual inspections. From this inspection information, the Engineering Division prepares a Street Resurfacing Plan consistent with the Street Capital Improvement Plan, which designates candidate street segments for construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. The City of Fridley also performs preventative surface maintenance (e.g. sealcoating), routine crack sealing and pothole patching maintenance. The amount of street maintenance on this segment is increasing annually due to the rapid deterioration of the existing pavements. The Engineering Division has prepared a Street Resurfacing Plan consistent with the Long-Term Street Maintenance Program, which designates candidate street segments for construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation. The Plan identifies the areas within the city and the anticipated year for maintenance projects. Please refer to the following map summarizing the Long-Term Street Maintenance Program. 3 242 Jufn!23/ Pavement Resurfacing Plan 4 243 Jufn!23/ Background The Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2026-02 is composed of three distinct project locations across the City of Fridley. The proposed project scope includes pavement rehabilitation across all project locations. The project extents and street segment history of each project location are included below. See Figure A in the appendices for a map of proposed project location. Viron Road / Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: VIRON RD/TH 65 E SERVICE DR from FIRESIDE DRIVE to OSBORNE RD (CSAH 8) The street and underground utilities along Viron Road/Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive were originally constructed in the mid-1960s. In 1993, the street was reconstructed where it received 1.5 inches of bituminous overlay. The street has received routine sealcoat treatment as part of the City’s roadway maintenance program, with the last occurring in 2016. Currently, the street is approximately 30 feet wide and provides 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping between Fireside Drive and Osborne Road (CSAH 8). Construction records and pavement core data indicate an existing pavement thickness ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches and an underlying stabilized subgrade of 6 inches. Viron Road/Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive is categorized as a collector city street with an estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic of approximately 1600 vehicles per day. Heavy vehicle traffic along this segment is considered low to typical. Highlands Neighborhood Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: RD 63 AVENUE from TH 65 EAST SERVICE DRIVE to EAST MOORE LAKE DRIVE rd The street and underground utilities along 63 Avenue were originally constructed in the late 1950s to the late 1970s. Since its initial construction, the street has received routine sealcoat treatment as part of the City’s roadway maintenance program, with the last occurring in 2012. Currently, the street is approximately 35 feet wide and provides 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping between Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive and East Moore Lake Drive. Construction records and pavement core data indicate an existing pavement thickness ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 inches and an underlying aggregate base thickness of 6 inches. 5 244 Jufn!23/ rd 63Avenueis categorized as a local city street with an estimated Annual Average Daily Traffic of approximately 1200 vehicles per day. Heavy vehicle traffic along this segment is considered low to typical. Marian Hills Neighborhood Street segments selected for rehabilitation include: SKYWOOD LANE from FILLMORE STREET to 150’ WEST OF MATTERHORN DRIVE RD 53 AVENUE from FILLMORE STREET to 150’ WEST OF MATTERHORN DRIVE RD LINCOLN STREET from BUCHANAN STREET to 53 AVENUE ND 52AVENUEfrom TAYLOR STREET TO 550’ EAST OF TAYLOR STREET rdnd The streets and underground utilities along Skywood Lane, 53Avenue, Lincoln Street and 52 Avenue within the project limits were initially constructed from the late 1950s to early 1960s. In rd 1993, 53Avenue was reconstructed where it received 5.5 inches of bituminous pavement and 4 nd inches of aggregate base. In 2003, Skywood Lane, Lincoln Street and 52Avenue were reconstructed as part of the City’s 2003 Street Improvement Project No. ST2003-1 where it received 3.5 inches of bituminous pavement, 6 inches of aggregate base and concrete curb & gutter. These streets have also received routine maintenance throughout its pavement life, including sealcoat treatment, with the last occurring in 2017. rd Existing street widths are 30 feet and 32 feet for Skywood Lane, 53 Avenue, Lincoln Street and nd 52 Avenue, respectively, and all streets provide 2-way traffic with no shoulder striping. Construction records and pavement core data indicate existing pavement thicknesses ranging from 3.5 to 8.5 inches and an underlying aggregate base of 6 inches. Each street is categorized as a local city street with approximate Annual Average Daily Traffic ndrd (AADT) of 2,200, 550 and less than 500 for Skywood Lane, 52Avenue, Lincoln Streetand 53 Avenue, respectively. Heavy traffic along these street segments is considered to be low to typical. Proposed Improvements Overview & Public Engagement The total project area includes approximately 1.25miles of proposed street improvements across three distinct project areas. The proposed improvements include pavement rehabilitation. In preparation of the project’s feasibility report, staff conducted preliminary public outreach with project residents through an in-person open housein October 2025 and virtual informational presentation uploaded to the City’s project webpage. Invitations for the open house were mailed to residents and property owners in the project area and included a project 6 245 Jufn!23/ questionnaire. Staff encouraged residents to provide feedback through the questionnaire, phone calls or by email to connect with staff about upcoming private construction that may conflict with the street project.Residents and property owners unable to attend were also encouraged to review the materials presented on the project webpage and provide feedback to staff.Staffhavecompiledresident feedback from the open house and questionnaires and will address these items in the final design as is feasible. Staff also completed a Living Streets evaluation of the project area and will address the findings as feasible in the design of the project. The Living Streets Worksheet has been included as Figure Bof the appendices. In September, Resolution No. 2025-118was adopted by the City of Fridley City Council to initiate the Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2026-02and prepare a preliminary report, plans and specifications. PavementImprovements Proposed pavement improvements are determined based upon several factors including the current pavement condition, last majorroadwaymaintenance, and the need for coordinated utility improvements. The two pavement rehabilitation methods presented for this project are full-depth reclamation (FDR) and mill & overlay. Exhibit 1.Full-depth pavement reclamation. Full-depth reclamation grinds and reduces the existing pavement to aggregate for in-place reuse in the roadway base. Mill & overlay preserves some of the existing pavement, partially grinding and removing the pavement to a specified depth. In both instances, new asphalt is then installed to match the existing roadway conditions. Viron Road / Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive Construction records and pavement cores along the corridor indicate a pavement thickness of 1.5to 3inches and underlying aggregate base thickness 6inches. Current pavement distresses, as seen in Exhibit 2, indicate a greater deterioration that is consistent with a pavement of this age. Additionally, Exhibit2.Viron Rd/TH 65 E Service Drive looking south. 7 246 Jufn!23/ severe fatigue cracking indicate potential failures in the underlying aggregate base. To address the deteriorating pavement and aggregate base conditions along the corridor, staff recommend a full-depth reclamation and pavement rehabilitation. The fortified reclaimed aggregate base section would be capped with a 3.5” bituminous pavement section, installed in two lifts and consistent with the City’s typical urban roadway section. rd 63Avenue Construction records and pavement cores along the corridor indicate a pavement thickness of 3.5to 4.5inches and underlying aggregate base thickness of 6inches. Current pavement distresses, as seen in Exhibit 3, indicate a greater deterioration that is consistent with a pavement of this age. Additionally, severe fatigue cracking indicate potential failures in the underlying rd Exhibit3.63Avenue looking west. aggregate base. To address the deteriorating pavement and aggregate base conditions along the corridor, staff recommend a full-depth reclamation and pavement rehabilitation. The fortified reclaimed aggregate base section would be capped with a 3.5” bituminous pavement section, installed in two lifts and consistent with the City’s typical urban roadway section. rdnd Skywood Lane/53Avenue/Lincoln Street/52Avenue Construction records and pavement cores alongSkywood Lane, Lincoln Streetand nd 52Avenueindicate an existing pavement thickness of 3to 4 ½ inches and rd aggregate base thickness of 6inches. 53 Avenue was found to have an existing pavement thickness of 5 ½ to 8 ½ inches with a 4-inch thick underlying aggregate base. Current pavement distress patterns are consistent with typical signs of surface- level wear and indicate no significant Exhibit4.Skywood Lane looking east. deterioration of the roadway base. Based upon the existing roadway sections, current pavement distresses, and underlying soil conditions, staff recommends a 1 ½”mill and pavement overlay across all street segments in this project location. It is anticipated that a pavement mill and resurfacing should result in a pavement surface lasting 20 years or more. It should be noted that reflective cracking from the remaining 8 247 Jufn!23/ existing pavement is to be expected after such milling and resurfacing. This distressing cannot be controlled without a full reconstruction of the roadway segment. Water Utility Improvements There are currently no proposed water utility improvements in the project area in addition to those performed concurrently with other improvements. No severe defects to the existing main and system appurtenances were identified by Public Works staff in this project location. Water system appurtenances, including gate valves, located within the pavement improvement area will be either replaced or reset as part of the street improvement operations. Sanitary Sewer Improvements In preparation for the project, Public Works Utilities Division staff also evaluated the existing sanitary sewer main, structures and surface facilities across the project area. Staff did not identify any severe defects with the existing system and there are currently no major proposed improvements to the sanitary sewer system in conjunction with the project. Minor improvements to system surface features, including salvage/reinstall or replacement of manhole casting, will be completed as part of the project’s pavement improvements. In coordination with the project, the City provides a complimentary inspection service to interested project residents to televise existing sewer service laterals for severe root intrusion, deterioration or other defects. Property owners have been notified and may coordinate with the Public Works Department to complete a video inspection of their service line. Any subsequent cleaning or repair services for resident service laterals are born by and are the responsibility of the property owner, per City Code. Storm Sewer Improvements Review of the existing storm sewer system throughout the project area identified no major rehabilitation or replacement needs in conjunction with the project. Minor improvements to be completed with the pavement rehabilitation include replacement of existing catch basin and manhole castings in poor condition and readjustment of other surface utilities within the pavement area. During preliminary public outreach, staff were notified of multiple localized drainage issues within the project area. While all drainage issues are unique, staff will investigate all reported drainage concerns and include drainage improvements as is feasible with the final design. 9 248 Jufn!23/ Private Utility Coordination The proposed project scope will be provided to private utilities in an effort to coordinate system repairs and upgrades with the upcoming project construction. At this time, no private utilities have provided notification of upcoming upgrades or repairs in the proposed project area. Estimated Costs The project cost is estimated to be $,000. This estimate includes a 15% contingency for minor changes in project scope. All costs expressed in this report are preliminary but are expected to stay within the budgeted amount. An itemized breakdown of estimated project costs can be found on Figure C of the Appendices. Funding Sources The proposed improvements are to be funded through a combination of sources including Street Maintenance Division’s operating budget, Minnesota State Aid System (MSAS) funding, and special assessments to benefitting properties. Per the City’s Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy, assessable project costs would be limited to those associated with street/pavement improvements. A breakdown of the preliminary project budget and special assessment funding can be found in Figure D of the appendices. Proposed Improvements Proposed improvements with the project are estimated at $427,000 and would be funded using monies from the Street Maintenance Division’s operating budget, the City’s MSAS account as well as special assessments to benefitting properties as defined by the City’s Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy. Special Assessments The City’s Roadway Major Maintenance Financing Policy currently identifies assessable costs to benefitting properties as all pavement improvement costs with the exclusion of those within common areas, major utility improvement locations or adjacent to City-owned property. Using the preliminary project scope and previous applications of the City’s assessment policy for Low Density Residential (single family, duplex, etc.) and Non-Low Density Residential (high density residential, commercial, etc.) properties, staff have estimated the following preliminary special assessments: $4,300 per unit and $46.79 per front-foot for low density residential and non-low density residential properties along the Viron Road/Trunk Highway 65 East Service rd Drive/63 Avenue project area, respectively, and $1,800 per unit for low density residential rdnd properties along the Skywood Lane/53 Avenue/Lincoln Street/52 Avenue project area. It should be noted that the three project areas were not combined for special benefit evaluations due to varying proposed improvements and property types as well as the lack of a combined 10 249 Jufn!23/ benefit between distinct project areas. Variances in the preliminary special assessment rates among project areas are a reflection of these considerations. Street Maintenance Division’s Operating Budget Funding A portion of the project will be funded through the Street Maintenance Division’s operating budget. Since suspension of (chip) seal coating projects a few years ago due to premature pavement stripping issues we have experienced, Public Works staff have decided to allocate this funding to pavement mill/overlay and pavement reclaim rehabilitation projects. Approximately $101,000 from the 2025 Street Maintenance Division’s operating budget will be encumbered and reallocated toward the project. Construction Construction sequencing will include access considerations for all properties. Minor exceptions to this may include critical construction items including asphalt construction, which is most likely to occur during weekday daytime hours. For all street segments, the project will be phased in a manner to best preserve access. Project coordination with residents and the public will be accomplished through weekly project updates distributed to the project email list and posted to the City’s project webpage. Project residents subject to additional disruptions, including driveway access restrictions shall receive written notice at least 24 hours in advance. In order to balance project duration and construction pricing, the project is proposed to start in May 2026 and conclude by September 2026. Summary The work proposed for the Street Rehabilitation Project number ST2026-02 is consistent with the City of Fridley’s Active Transportation Plan, Long-Term Street Maintenance Program, 2026- 2030 Capital Investment Program and can be fully funded by its 2026 Budget. The project is cost-effective, necessary and feasible from an engineering standpoint as described in this report.

Toachieve the Project goal of continuous and uniform lighting along the corridor, additional lighting units, conduit and wiring were designed and installed with the Project to extend the lighting rdth system from 53 Avenue to 57 Avenue. Item CO1.01 accounted for approximately $216,543.74 of the Change Order and will be funded by Lighting Systems A & F Relocation (CO1.02) During construction, the Contractor and staff identified a conflict between the proposed lighting systems st between 61 Avenue and Mississippi Street (CSAH 6). With minimal space for adjustment in the western boulevard, lighting units in this segment were modified to dual-head fixtures and relocated to the median. Item CO1.02 accounted for approximately $72,181.25 of the Change Order and will be funded by remaining federal HSIP funds and local match Minor Lighting System Modifications (CO1.03) City staff and the Contractor coordinated other minor modifications during construction in an effort to improve constructability, performance and resiliency of the installed lighting systems. An example of these modifications is the relocation of select lighting units to accommodate future roundabout configurations at intersections along the University Avenue corridor. Item CO1.03 accounted for approximately $15,275 of the Change Order and will be funded by remaining The Contractor has completed the installation of all lighting systems within the base contract and all systems are currently operational.
