She commented on the harm that is being caused by the Federal enforcement actions and the two lives that have been lost in a neighboring city. She commented on a recent incident she believed to be a burglary, but was actually a young man attempting to flee ICE agents. She asked the City to take the position of protecting residents rather than cooperating with Federal agents. Jake Karnopp, Chair of the Fridley School Board, commented that he is speaking on behalf of the School Board as a whole, and if other members of the Board choose to speak tonight, they are speaking on their own behalf. He supported the men and women of the Fridley Police Department and directed his statement towards the City Council. He stated that the City has declined to recognize or apply Federal and constitutional laws that restrict enforcement in school settings and has declined to collaborate with the School District to keep students safe in the schools. He stated that ICE has been present at the schools and bus stops, which has created fear and absenteeism. He reviewed the different laws and rulings in place that protect the right to education for all students regardless of immigration status. He commented on the communities in the metro that have stated that they would uphold these rights and protect the right to education, whereas Fridley has not taken that position. He stated that this refusal has City Council Meeting 1/26/2026Minutes Page 3 consequences and described the path that the School District has had to take on its own to protect students and staff, noting that 428 students have already signed up for e-learning as they do not feel safe attending school. He asked the Council to acknowledge the protections that limit civil immigration enforcement on K-12 properties, update its 2017 immigration guidance to comply with current federal laws, and adopt formal cooperation with Fridley Public Schools to ensure that law enforcement will protect children and uphold the law. He invited the members of the Council to attend a ride-along with the Superintendent to drive staff members to work who are otherwise afraid, to distribute groceries to families to afraid to leave their homes, or to patrol bus stops in the morning or afternoon to provide security to students. Avonna Stark spoke as a resident and commented that the community is tired, exhausted, scared, and angry, and yet in attendance tonight to speak about what they believe.

She stated that a member of the Council has also blocked her on social media in response to a text communication she sent them. She commented on the impacts of ICE activity in the community and asked the Council to take action and request that ICE leave the state. She asked the people in the room to be the change they want to see and volunteered to help them run for office. Aaron Klemz, recognized that this is an unprecedented time where places that were once considered safe are no longer safe. He stated that the schools are doing an amazing job, with parents and volunteers joining, in an attempt to keep students and staff safe. He spoke of recent incidents involving ICE and the impacts on the community, with people too afraid to leave their homes, small businesses that are afraid to be open, and students who are afraid to attend school. He asked that the Council adopt a resolution supporting an eviction moratorium, as people should not have to choose between their safety and their home. He asked the City to protect political expression and the upcoming caucuses. th Aaron Rothe, Jackson and 66, commented that he barely recognizes the community his family chose to live in. He spoke of the fear people are feeling in the community and things that are happening to people in the community as a result of interactions with ICE. He commented on the public safety actions residents are taking and asked that the Police Department do the same, noting that those actions do not interfere with the Federal activity. He asked the Council and Police Department to do more. Nicole Allen, Blaine resident and Fridley teacher, spoke of the fear she sees in students. Natividad Seefeld, 1106 Onondaga Street NE, commented that she lives in one of the two manufactured home communities in Fridley and is also the President of that community. She commented on the recent ICE activity in their manufactured home community, and a conflict with the ICE officers she experienced, and the experiences of others in the community with ICE. She commented that they are not evicting people in their manufactured community. She asked the Council to do something and shared a statement from the ROC USA foundation. Christina Camp, Fridley Public Schools educator, expressed concern with the growing fear related to ICE activity and the impact that it is having on students and staff. She asked the City to take a clear and public stance to protect students and families, reaffirm school as safe places, and ensure that local policies do not contribute to the fear, trauma, or unlawful practices. City Council Meeting 1/26/2026Minutes Page 4 th Jonathon Rehlander, 615 57 Avenue NE, stated that the stories shared tonight are not unique. He stated that in the morning, he has to drive by the school to ensure there are no ICE vehicles before his wife follows behind with his child. He stated that it has never been risky to go to school, go to work, or go to a business. He appreciated that the City did not create this situation, and is being put in a tough position. He asked what could be done and believed that more is needed. He recognized the laws and stated that people need to feel safe to participate in democracy and have their voices heard without worrying if they will come home that night. He recognized that there are hard choices to make, and it is time to have those hard conversations. Annie Jenson, Topper Lane NE, provided historical examples, noting that people often think they would have been one of the good ones. She commented that the people fled horrible conditions to seek freedom, as they have in the past. She asked that the community be problem solvers and that their kindness be contagious. She asked the Council to do what it can and a little more to make up for those who are bystanders. thth Kade Bardenpratt, 67 and 7, commented that he is a third-generation Fridley resident and the challenges facing the young generation.

Anna Pribula, 6880 East River Road, commented on her experience in childcare and the fear that those children are feeling. th Kate Grim, 555 67 Avenue, stated that she applied for a previous open position on the City Council and noted that she sees a number of others who applied for that position present tonight as well. She stated that there are other faces who are not present tonight because they are protecting their neighbors. She spoke of the actions they are taking in the community to protect their neighbors. She asked the City to support an eviction moratorium and shared a draft resolution for the Council to consider. Nikki Karnopp, 482 Rice Creek Terrace, commented on her civic participation in the community and stated that she is watching what leadership is saying and not saying. She asked questions about the statements rd released on January 23 from the Mayor and Chief George. She referenced the deceit under which ICE is conducting its activity and asked what would be done about that. She stated that the minority class that is being targeted needs assistance. She asked them to come together as citizens and elected officials to protect those who call Fridley home. Brian Glare, 6730 Jackson Street, stated that as an architect, he has spent time designing schools, and he never imagined that the threat they would be designing against would be the government. He stated that people should not have to worry if they will be safe at school or work. He asked the Council to sign an eviction moratorium and to hold ICE accountable to the laws and constitutional rights that everyone else is held to. Wade, Georgetown on the River resident, commented on the work they are doing in the community to distribute food to the community. He stated the City could assist in protecting school bus routes, and the eviction moratorium also makes sense. He asked the Council to read the draft moratorium tonight. City Council Meeting 1/26/2026Minutes Page 5 LeahKim Gannett, Starlight Boulevard, stated that her children attend Anoka High School and receive bus transportation. She commented that currently her children have a white driver, but for years had a driver of color, and she has had to prepare her students for what to do if their driver is taken and the bus is left on the side of the road. She provided her experience of a vehicle that was following a school bus recently in their neighborhood. She recognized the work of parents in the community and the work ICE is doing, trying to infiltrate these parent groups. She asked the City for help. Nicole, Georgetown on the River resident, commented that she lives and works in Fridley and provided information on the work that is done by her employer to euthanize elderly and sick pets in the homes of residents. She asked the Council to support the rent moratorium to provide residents with peace of mind that they do not need to choose between whether they will live in their homes and afford groceries. Mandy Meisner, Anoka County Commissioner for District 7 and Fridley resident, stated that she is present tonight to listen to the community. She commended the School Board for being fierce advocates for the children in the community. She stated that as an elected official, she encouraged everyone to work together to focus efforts on needed changes in the federal delegation. She stated that the local level is the only level of government where they can work together to get things done. She thanked those who shared their stories and stated that perhaps all local government bodies in Fridley could write a letter to the federal delegation supporting change, noting that she would sign the letter as well. She commented on the letters that she is writing in addition. She recognized that people are fighting for their lives in real ways and urged the community not to fight with one another, but instead fight against the inhumane tactics and unlawful actions of ICE.

The vacation's approval was granted pending, amongst other items, a development agreement for the relocation of existing City of Fridley (City) utilities that occupy the easement. On January 5, the Council approved a Development Agreement with Endeavor Development, LLC for River Edge Business Center, which has been executed with the Developer and City. The property is located west of University Avenue, north of 73rd Avenue, and abuts the BNSF railroad to the west. The Developer proposes to demolish an existing structure and construct a new, larger warehouse/distribution center, which will become River Edge Business Center. The proposed building’s footprint will occupy the easement and therefore, the utilities must be relocated. This will include relocation of a 60-inch diameter storm sewer interceptor and associated drainage swale and an eight inch sanitary sewer main, both of which serve upstream properties. The costs of the storm water and sanitary sewer relocation, their inspection, and surety in the event of non-performance are fully borne by the Developer in this agreement. The City will own and operate the utilities subject to this agreement after their construction. The Developer is also required to establish new easements, submit a performance surety to the City ensuring the satisfactory completion of all relocated utilities and improvements as required by the Development Agreement, and provide completion of all improvements to City and other permitting agency standards. In order for the City to access and maintain the utilities, the attached Easement and Access Agreements are requested to be approved by the City Council, as the Developer has requested modifications that have been reviewed for acceptance by staff and the City Attorney. Financial Impact The Easement and Access agreements will allow the City to maintain the public improvements as identified by the Development Agreement. Maintenance costs will initially be reduced, due to the new construction of these improvements. A new pond is added that the City will maintain to provide additional water quality treatment in the Oak Glen Creek subwatershed. Recommendation Staff recommend approval of Resolution No. 2026-08, Approving a Storm Water Drainage, Utility, and Access Easement Agreement with River Edge BC Owner, LP for Rivers Edge Business Center and authorizing execution.
