AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 26, 2026
Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:James Kosluchar, Public Works Director
Title: Proclamation Recognizing June 2 as Mississippi River Day
Background
The Mississippi River is more than just a waterway—it’s a lifeline for millions of people, a haven
for wildlife, and a source of inspiration, recreation and connection. Spanning 2,350 miles and
uniting ten mainstem states and 32 tributary states within its vast watershed, from the wild rice
beds in Minnesota to the oyster reefs in Louisiana, the River nourishes communities, supports
livelihoods, and brings people together. One quarter of Minnesotans get their drinking water
from the River, with the majority receiving their water from river intakes in Fridley as part of the
Minneapolis Water Works and St. Paul Regional Water systems.
In the City of Fridley, the River provides an important sense of community identity, beauty and
recreation. In celebration of our connection to the River, the City joins the Mississippi Watershed
Management Organization, One Mississippi, and a network of other cities and states along the
River in declaring June 2 as Mississippi River Day. Throughout 2026, the City will continue
honoring its connection to the River as part of the Sacred Water, Shared Future initiative,
beginning with the opening of the Shared Currents exhibition at Creative Flow Art Center on
June 18.

Proclamation
Mississippi River Day
June 2, 2026
Whereas, for thousands of years, the Mississippi River has been deeply woven into the
lives of Indigenous peoples, sustaining communities and holding profound cultural
significance; and
Whereas, the River provides drinking water for over 20 million Americans, fuels local
economies through commerce, agriculture, tourism, and recreation; and
Whereas, the River is the heart of a migratory flyway for 60% of North America's bird
species, and home to hundreds of different animal species, making it one of the world's
most important ecological corridors; and
Whereas , Fridley’s riverfront location helps define the character of our community and
provides recreational and scenic amenities for our residents; and
Whereas, a network of organizations along the river are joining together to celebrate
Mississippi River Day and River Days of Action (June 1-15) where people unite to
restore, celebrate and advocate for a healthier River.
Now therefore, be it resolved, that I, Dave Ostwald, Mayor of the City of Fridley, do
herby proclaim June 2 as Mississippi River Day in the City of Fridley.
In witness where of, I have set my hand and caused the seal
of the City of Fridley to be affixed this 26th day of May, 2026.
Dave Ostwald, Mayor
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

th
Bob Loso, 1334 76 Avenue, commented that four years ago, there was a sewer revitalization project in
his neighborhood, and the contractor burst the pipe directly in front of his home. He commented that
when the street was resurfaced, it was done improperly and commented on areas where water pools and
turns to ice in the winter. He noted that the largest of those areas is at the end of his driveway, which
th
causes damage to his driveway and yard. He commented that from Central to 1340 76 Avenue, the road
surface is very uneven. He asked if staff could check the road to see if anything could be done to improve
the road conditions and the drainage.

14.Ordinance No. 1438, Amending Chapter 404, Vehicles.
Stacy Stromberg, Assistant Community Development/HRA Director, presented modifications to
Chapter 404, Vehicles, which will include language that describes the process used to impound
inoperable, junk, or unlicensed vehicles. The long-standing process staff is using will not change; the
process will just be described in Code. She provided additional information on common violations,
the proposed amendments, authority to impound, notification process, and asked the Council to
approve the first reading of the ordinance.
Councilmember Cardona asked about the number of vehicles that are towed each year. Ms.
Stromberg estimated about five per year.
Councilmember Evanson asked how long a vehicle might be out before staff places the vehicle on a
report, noting a situation where a resident is working on a vehicle, but it may be taking longer than
anticipated. He recognized that there is a balance in giving someone time to work on the vehicle and
the vehicle becoming an eyesore for the community. Ms. Stromberg stated that staff are always
willing to give extensions and have conversations with residents, but agreed there has to be a balance
between that and the image of the neighborhood.
Councilmember Evanson asked if residents respond positively when having discussions with staff on
this topic. Ms. Stromberg stated that only three percent of violations have heavy staff involvement
to this level, as most people want to be compliant. She explained that the first letter is education-
focused, informing residents of the rules.
Councilmember Vescio asked if the property would be compliant once a vehicle is towed. Ms.
Stromberg stated that there are times when there are multiple violations along with an inoperable
vehicle, noting that other violations may have a different timeline for compliance.
Mayor Ostwald asked about the number of staff who handle code enforcement. Ms. Stromberg
replied that there is one full-time Code Enforcement Officer. She noted that there is one summer
intern who will be assisting in that position.
City Council Meeting 5/11/2026Minutes Page 4
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the most common code enforcement violations. Ms.
Stromberg replied that garbage can placement has been high, but one of the most common violations
is tall grass.
Motion made by Councilmember Evanson to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 1438, Amending
Chapter 404, Vehicles. Seconded by Councilmember Cardona.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ostwald declared the motion carried unanimously.
Informal Status Reports
Councilmember Cardona stated that the Parks System Improvement Projects continue to move forward
and noted upcoming neighborhood meetings to receive input on upcoming park projects. The city-wide
thth
garage sale is taking place June 5 and 6.

Classification of and Access to Data
Classification of government data is determined in accordance with M.S. § 13.825 and related
statutes. Unless otherwise designated by the MGDPA, other applicable statute, or temporary
classification, all data that is collected, created, received, maintained, or disseminated by the City is
presumed to be public, regardless of format.
All government data is divided into three general classifications:
1. Data on individuals
2. Data not on individuals
3. Data on decedents
Each classification has three subcategories that determine who may access data. In all three
classifications, public data is accessible by anyone.
The League of Minnesota Cities developed the following chart for clarity:

External Agencies
Contractors with the City are generally required to comply with the MGDPA. However, the City may
not be in possession of said data. All Contractors will be required to collect, maintain, store and
disseminate data in compliance with this Policy and the MGDPA. Contractors are required to notify
the City Clerk if a request for data is received, but the Contractor will be required to respond to said
request.
Public Data Access
All Government Data, regardless of its format, is presumed to be public, unless the MGDPA or other
applicable law says otherwise. The MGDPA also requires the City to maintain and store Government
Data in a way that makes it easily accessible by members of the public.
Right to Access Public Data
The City cannot require a requester to identify themselves or explain the reason for a data request
except when necessary to distinguish between public and not public data or to fulfill the request.
However, depending on how the requester wishes to receive the data, the City may need some
information about the requester. If the requester chooses not to provide any identifying information,
staff will provide them with contact information so they may check the status of the request. In
addition, if the City does not understand the request and has no way to contact the requester, it will
not be able to process the request.
Requests for Summary Data
Summary data are statistical records or reports created by removing identifying information about
individuals from entirely private or confidential data. The City, at the direction of the Responsible
Authority, may create summary data upon written request and prepayment of actual costs..
How to Request Public Data
Follow the instructions in the How to Request Government Data section.
Data Subject Rights
This section of the Policy applies to data subjects or entities who are the subject of data that is
collected, maintained, and/or disseminated by the City. In the normal course of business, the City
collects, maintains, and disseminates Government Data from members of the public, public and
private entities, its employees, and others who interact with the City. The MGDPA governs the rights
that data subjects have related to the data that the City collects, maintains, and disseminates. The
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 4 Top of Document
City has established procedures to assure that all data on individuals is accurate, complete, and
current for the purposes for which it was collected.
Access
Data subjects have the right to inspect, free of charge, any public and private data that the City
maintains about them. If asked, the City will tell you whether data is kept about you and whether that
data are public, private, or confidential. See Classification of Data section above for more information
about the classifications.
Parents have the right to inspect or get copies of the public and private data that the City collects,
maintains, or disseminates about the parent’s minor child(ren) (under the age of 18). Legal guardians
have this same right related to the minors for whom they are appointed as guardian.
Minors have the right to request the City not to give data about them to their parent or legal
guardian, and the City is required to inform a minor of this right. The City does have the authority to
deny such a request based on the minor’s best interests. Minors do not have the right to make this
request if the data at issue is educational data maintained by an educational agency or institution.
To request data as a data subject, follow the instructions in the How to Request Government Data
section.
Informed Consent - When the City Collects Data
When the City collects data that may be not public, the City must give the data subject a notice,
referred to as a Tennessen Warning. This notice gives a data subject information about why the City
is collecting certain data, what the intended use of that data will be, and limits what the City can do
with the data. Tennessen warnings must be provided when collecting private data from individuals,
except as otherwise authorized by law. Minors will be informed of applicable rights upon request or
when collecting sensitive data as required by statute.
The City cannot use or release the data for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was
collected. The City must obtain written permission from a data subject before the City can use or
release the data for any other purposes. This permission is called Release of Information Consent
attached hereto.
Challenging Accuracy and/or Completeness of Data
A data subject has the right to challenge the accuracy and/or completeness of the public and private
data that the City maintains about that data subject. The data subject has the right to appeal any
decision made on a challenge. A parent or guardian has the same rights related to the public or
private data about the minor(s) for whom they are legally responsible.
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 5 Top of Document
How to Request Data
Requesting access to government data is the same for members of the public and data subjects. To
inspect data or request copies of data that the City maintains, requests may be made verbally or in
writing. Should the request be in writing, the City provides a Data Request Form. The completed form
must be submitted to the City Clerk, or their designee. Requests may be submitted in-person, by mail
or email.
The City cannot require a member of the public to provide identifying information or explain the
reason for the data request. However, City staff may ask for identification information to verify
whether a requester is the subject of the requested data, or has authorized access, in order to access
private or nonpublic data, or to obtain sufficient information for mailing the requested data (via U.S.
Mail or electronic transmission).
For private data, the City Clerk, or their designee, may require proof of identification before
responding to the data request pursuant to M.S. § 13.05 subd. 12. If you are requesting data about
your minor child, you must show proof that you are the minor’s parent. If you are a legal guardian,
you must show legal documentation of your guardianship. If you do not provide proof that you are
the data subject or have authorized access, the City cannot respond to your request. Staff may
request proof of identification be provided in-person.
If the City does not understand a requester’s data request and/or has no way to contact a requester,
the City will not be able to process the data request.
How the City Will Respond to a Data Request
Upon receiving a request, the City Clerk or their designee will process the request.
If the City does not have the data being requested, the requester will be notified as soon as
reasonably possible. If the City does not understand the request and needs to ask the requester for
clarification, it will notify the requester as soon as reasonably possible. If the City does have the data
being requested, but the data is not available to the public, it will notify the requester as soon as
reasonably possible and cite the specific statute(s) that classify any such data.
If the City has the data that is requested and the data are public, the City Clerk or their designee will
respond to the request appropriately and within a reasonable amount of time by doing one of the
following:
1. Arrange a date, time, and place to inspect data, for free, if the requester wishes to inspect the
data;
2. Provide the requester with paper copies of the data if requested (a mailing address may be
required if the requester asks for any data be mailed); or
3. Digitally transmit requested data to the requester.
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 6 Top of Document
Following the City’s response, if the requester does not make arrangement within five business days
to inspect the data, pay for copies or respond to a request for clarification from the City, the City will
suspend any further response to the request until the requester inspects the data, collects or pays
for copies or responds to the City’s request for clarification. If a request is suspended for 10 days, the
City will conclude the requester no longer wants the data and will consider the request closed.
The MGDPA does not require the City to create or collect new data in response to a data request or
to provide data in a specific form or arrangement if the City does not keep the data in that form or
arrangement. In addition, the MGDPA does not require the City to answer questions that are not
requests for data. After the City has provided a data subject with requested data, the City does not
have to show the same data again for six months unless there is a dispute about the data or the City
collects or creates new data about the data subject.
If the requester is the data subject, the City must respond within 10 business days of the request,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and City holidays. If the requester is not the subject of the data, the
City must respond in an appropriate and prompt manner, which is within a reasonable amount of
time depending on the nature and extent of the request. The City Clerk, or their designee, will
communicate with the requester regarding the nature of the request and what an appropriate
response time may be.
Standing Requests
The City will not accept standing requests for data. The City will require the requester to complete a
new Data Practices Request Form to initiate a new request.
Fees
The public has the right to look at (inspect), free of charge, all public data in the City’s possession.
The MGDPA provides that, if a person requests copies or electronic transmittal of data, the City Clerk,
or their designee, may require the requester to pay a fee, which will be calculated using one of the
methods below. Regardless of which method is used, the City may not charge for separating public
data from not public data.
The City Clerk may, through administrative policy, may choose to not charge for requests up to $5,
which may be revised not more than annually. Prepayment for copies is required.
Fee Calculation Method No. 1: 100 or Fewer Paper Copies
If 100 or fewer pages of black and white, letter or legal-size paper copies are requested, the City will
charge a per-page fee of not more than 25 cents for each page copied (50 cents for a two-sided
copy). The City is authorized to charge only the per-page fee. This provision will not be interpreted
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 7 Top of Document
to permit division of a single request into requests for copies of fewer than 100 pages in order to
avoid charging a fee based on the actual costs of providing copies.
Fees for data subjects will be calculated using Method No. 2.
Fee Calculation Method No. 2: Actual Cost
For more than 100 paper copies or other modes of sharing of data the City may charge the actual
cost for an employee to search for and retrieve the data (charged in 15-minute increments). The City
will not charge a minimum fee but reserves the right to calculate the cost to respond to the request.
The City may not assess a fee for labor costs (e.g., wages, benefits) that exceed those of the lowest-
paid employee who could complete the task(s) performed.
Goods and services that will be charged to a requester:
Employee time to search for and retrieve data (the City cannot charge for time to search or
retrieve data when the requester is the data subject)
Cost of media (paper, CD ROMs, DVDs, USBs, etc.)
Mailing costs
Staff time to prepare copies
Costs of reproduction that cannot be produced by the City, such as photographs
Services that cannot be charged to a requester:
Employee time to separate public from not public data (i.e., redaction)
Operating expenses of a copier, such as electricity, wear and tear, etc.
Costs not related to copying, such as preparing a fax cover sheet, invoice, etc.
Sorting, reviewing, or verifying accuracy if not necessary for copying
Sales tax or accounting functions
Costs related to inspection.

Requests for Summary Data
Pursuant to M.S. § 13.05, subd. 7, the City may contract with an outside entity to prepare summary
data. All rules and regulations for hiring such an outside entity will be followed according to
Minnesota Rules (M.R.) 1205.0700. Any costs incurred in the preparation of summary data will be the
responsibility of the requesting party. The City will communicate with the requester and follow all
directives for calculating fees found in Minnesota Rules Part 1205.0300.
Not Public Data
The MGDPA requires the City prepare a data inventory which describes all not public data on
individuals and which employees have access to said data. This policy also indicates when the City
can share not public data and penalties for unlawfully accessing not public data.
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 9 Top of Document
Employee Access to Information
Access to government data is limited to employees who require it for a specific assignment. M.S. §
13.05, subd. 5, requires the City to identify the employees who have access to not public data. The
City has met this requirement by incorporating employee access listed in the Not Public Data
Inventory, in the employee’s position description, or both. This Policy limits access to not public data
to employees and their supervisors whose work assignment reasonably requires access to the data.
In the event of a temporary duty as assigned by a manager or supervisor, an employee may access
certain not public data, for as long as the work is assigned to the employee.
In addition to the employees listed in the Not Public Data Inventory, the City Clerk, their designee(s),
the DPCOs, the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the Information Technology Manager and their
applicable deputies and assistants may have access to all not public data maintained by the City, or
a Department Director for not public data maintained by their respective department. Any access to
not public data will be strictly limited to the data necessary to complete the work assignment.
Data Sharing with Authorized Entities or Individuals
State or Federal law may authorize the sharing of not public data in specific circumstances. Not public
data may be shared with another entity if a State or Federal law or regulation allows or mandates it.
The City may share not public data with the Minnesota Commissioner of Administration, other law
enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorneys as necessary to respond to a data subject’s
challenge to the accuracy or completeness of data under M.S. § 13.04. Data shared in this process
retains its original classification.
Individuals will have notice of any sharing in applicable informed consent through a release of
information provided by the City. Any sharing of not public data will be strictly limited to the data
necessary or required to comply with the applicable law.
Ensuring Not Public Data Are Not Accessed Without a Work Assignment
Within the City, departments may assign tasks by employee or by job classification. Each department
shall ensure that all not public data are secure and are only made available to employees with a valid
work reason to access the data in accordance with this Policy and applicable law. This Policy also
applies to departments that share workspaces with other departments within the City where not
public data are maintained.
Recommended actions for ensuring appropriate access include:
Assigning appropriate security roles, limiting access to appropriate shared network drives,
implementing password protections for not public electronic data;
Password protecting employee computers and locking computers before leaving
workstations;
Revised and adopted in May 2026 Page 10 Top of Document
Discussing not public data only with authorized personnel and ensuring such conversations
are not audible to unauthorized parties;
Securing not public data within locked workspaces and in locked file cabinets; and
Shredding not public documents before disposing of them.
Unlawfully Accessing Not Public Data
The City will utilize penalties for unlawful access to not public data as provided for in M.S. § 13.09, if
necessary. Any employee unlawfully accessing not public data or violating applicable sections of this
Policy or applicable laws may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including involuntary
termination. The City may also refer such violations to the appropriate authorities, which may pursue
other legal actions.
In the event the City determines a security breach has occurred and an unauthorized person has
gained access to not public data, the data subject will be notified as required by law. Additionally,
staff must immediately report to the Responsible Authority. The City will follow procedures consistent
with M.S. § 13.055.
Not Public Data Inventory
Pursuant to M.S. § 13.025 the City has compiled a list of all not public data that is collected and
maintained by individual departments. The inventory includes a description of the data, the data’s
typical classification, the statutory citation which directs the data’s classification, and a list of City staff
who have access to each not public data item.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: May 26, 2026
Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:Mike Maher, Parks and Recreation Director
Jesslyn Quiram, Engineering Technician
Title: Resolution No. 2026-56, Approving Artwork Recommendations for the Utility
Box Art Wrap Pilot Program
Background
The Public Arts Commission (Commission) has recommended a slate of six artwork designs for a
utility box art wrap pilot program. The program has outlined a process to request artwork
submissions from artists with the goal for six designs to be printed on high-quality vinyl and
applied to utility boxes along University Avenue in the City of Fridley (City). A program policy
document was drafted by staff with review and direction from the City Council (Council) and the
Commission. A public call for art was announced, which attracted over 50 artwork design
submissions. The Commission met on May 6, 2026 to review the submissions and recommend
six for Council to review for program implementation. Two additional designs were identified as
alternates if artists submitting any of the six primary recommended designs do not provide the
needed artwork or agreements. Once approved, staff will work with artists to secure the artwork
in a format that can be used for printing onto vinyl and to ensure that all required waivers and
agreements are received from each artist. Once artwork and agreements are provided, staff will
coordinate payment of the artwork award to be made to the artist for each of the six final
artwork selections.
Financial Impact
The non-profit Fridley Creative Arts Foundation has agreed to pay for the cost of program
implementation, including artist awards and the printing and installation of vinyl art wraps.

Resolution No. 2026-56
Approving Artwork Recommendations for the Utility Box Art Wrap Pilot Program
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) has established a Public Arts Commission to guide the City’s
public arts program and to recommend public art to the Fridley City Council; and
Whereas, a pilot program was established to install vinyl art wraps on six utility boxes on Trunk
rdth
Highway 47 between 53 and 85 Avenues; and
Whereas, the non-profit Fridley Creative Arts Foundation has agreed to fund the costs of the
utility box art wrap program including printing and installation of artwork and artist awards; and
Whereas, a public call for art was posted on the City website and advertised to solicit submissions
of artwork for the pilot program; and
Whereas,54 submissions of artwork were received in response to the call for art and standardized
criteria were established to assist the Public Arts Commission in the evaluation of submitted
artwork; and
Whereas, the Public Arts Commission met on May 6, 2026 and recommended a selection of six
art designs for program award along with two alternate designs to be considered only if one or
more of the primary six selections does not complete required agreements; and
Whereas, the Commission recommends “Brighter Days Ahead” by Paul Diederich, “The Historic
Schoolhouse” by Cathy Gottwald-Thunberg, “Community” by Annabelle and Brigitta Anderson,
“Wetland Waltz” by Emma Adams, “Ganders Gone Wild” by Amber Dalton, and “Fridley in Motion”
by Yusuf Maragha with alternative selections of “Orange Cosmos” by Jeanne Gallaher and “Fridley
Welcomes You” by Brigitta Anderson.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley accepts the
recommendations of selected artwork by the Public Arts Commission for the utility box art wrap
pilot program and authorizes staff to prepare artwork agreements, waivers, and artist awards and
to fully implement the art wrap pilot program based on the recommended artwork selections.

Title: Resolution No. 2026-58, Authorizing a Water Quality Cost Share Agreement
with Rice Creek Watershed District for Dog Waste Stations
Background
Due to high levels of nutrients and bacteria, dog waste can present a threat to water quality if
left on the ground. Lack of bags and disposal locations can lead to pet owners not collecting
waste when visiting city parks. Rice Creek Watershed District offers cities a cost share program
which provides 50% of funding for projects that help protect water quality. The City of Fridley
applied for funding for a total of five stations to be installed at Commons Park (3) and the
entrances of the trail system into Locke Park (2).
Financial Impact
The total project costs is $1,477 of which the cost share funds will cover 50% ($738.50). The
remaining project costs are budgeted within the Stormwater Utiilty Fund.

Al-Shifa Free Clinic: Request for Special Use Permit Extension
I am respectfully requesting an extension of the Special Use Permit for the property located at 1413 Gardena Ave NE,
Fridley, MN 55432, to allow its conversion into the Al-Shifa Free Clinic, which is currently being operated at the Islamic
Center of Minnesota by Al-Shifa Clinic LLC PA.
The organization had initially anticipated receiving grant funding to support the renovation and conversion of the
property into a clinic facility. Unfortunately, the grant application was ultimately not approved, which delayed the
progress of the project. Despite this setback, we have successfully raised sufficient funds independently to proceed with
the project.
An application for the construction permit has already been submitted, and we are prepared to begin construction as
soon as the permit is issued.
Due to the delays associated with the grant approval and disapproval process, additional time is needed to complete
the project. Therefore, I respectfully request that the existing Special Use Permit be extended for one additional year.
This extension will allow us adequate time to complete the construction and establish the clinic to better serve the
community.
Thank you for your consideration.

Background
On May 11, 2026, the City Council conducted the first reading of Ordinance No. 1438. There
were no comments or questions from the public on the proposed ordinance.
The proposed amendments focus on updating the definition of "Junk Vehicle" and establishing
a definition for an "Inoperable Vehicle." In addition, the change will clarify the City of Fridley's
(City) authority to impound abandoned, inoperable or junk vehicles on both public and private
property. By codifying the administrative process that staff has utilized for over 20 years, these
changes will help reduce public inquiries and will serve as an educational tool regarding
community standards. These updates align the City Code with the long-standing practices to
ensure consistent and transparent enforcement for all residents and businesses.

Title: Resolution No. 2026-55, Authorizing Participation of the City of Fridley in the
Minnesota Local Performance Measurement Program
Background
In 2019, the City of Fridley (City), under the general direction of the City Manager, formed the
Project Management (PMT) to improve the efficiency and efficacy of City programs and services.
The PMT consists of staff from across the organization who are trained in continuous
improvement, project management, performance measurement, problem solving and leadership
development.
The PMT seeks to improve business processes by reducing waste and enhancing quality. To
measure the success and efficacy of key City processes, the PMT facilitates the City’s
participation in the Minnesota Local Performance Measurement Program (Program) offered by
the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) in conjunction with the Council on Local Results and
Innovation.
By formally reporting on at least 10 of the 29 performance measures identified by the Program
to the OSA, the City may receive two benefits: 1) a per capita reimbursement of $0.14, and 2) an
exemption from property tax levy limit if they are in effect. To participate in the Program, the
City Council must adopt the minimum number of performance measures, report them at least
annually to residents and submit a document detailing the actual results.
Based on those criteria, the PMT drafted the 2025 Performance Measures Report (attached),
which outlines 18 performance measures. In addition to the benefits of the Program, the City will
use the report to inform policy decisions, such as budget recommendations, and to gauge the
success of City programs and services.The report may also be accessed online at
FridleyMN.gov/PerformanceMeasures.
Financial Impact
Staff estimate the City will receive a reimbursement of approximately $4,000.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of Resolution No. 2026-55, Authorizing Participation of the City
of Fridley in the Minnesota Local Performance Measurement Program.

Authorizing Participation of the City of Fridley in the Minnesota Local Performance
Measurement Program
Whereas, in 2010, the Minnesota Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation;
and
Whereas, the Council on Local Results and Innovation developed a standard set of performance
measures that will aid residents, taxpayers and state and local elected officials in determining the
efficacy of counties in providing services and measure residents’ opinion of those services; and
Whereas, benefits to the City of Fridley are outlined in Minnesota Statute § 6.91 and include
eligibility for a reimbursement; and
Whereas, any city participating in the comprehensive performance measurement program is also
exempt from levy limits for taxes, if levy limits are in effect; and
Whereas, the City Council has adopted and implemented at least 10 of the performance
measures, as developed by the Council on Local Results and Innovation, and a system to use this
information to help plan, budget, manage and evaluate programs and processes for optimal
future outcomes.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley will report the results
of the performance measures to its citizenry by the end of the year through publication, posting
on the City’s website, or through a public hearing at which the budget and levy will be discussed
and public input allowed.
Be it further resolved, the City Council of the City of Fridley will submit to the Office of the State
Auditor the actual results of the performance measures adopted by the City.
