Resolution No. 2021-13 Approval of Gifts, Donations and Sponsorships received between January 11,
2021 and February 12, 2021
Background
Each month, the City of Fridley (City) receives various donations and gifts to support City operations,
programs and projects. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 465.03, the City may accept these donations
and gifts for the benefit of residents. For specific donations or gifts, the donor may prescribe certain
requirements, such as for a specific activity or department.
Consistent with the abovementioned statute, staff prepared Schedule No. 1 (Exhibit A), which outlines
the various donations, gifts and/or sponsorships received by the City between January 11, 2021 and
February 12, 2021. To accept the same, the Council must adopt the attached resolution by a twothird
majority vote.
Lastly, for each donation, gift or sponsorship, staff ensure it meets an identified need, does not create a
quidproquo or longterm maintenance obligation, and the donor received an acknowledgment of
their gift through a letter or publication.
Based on this process, staff recommend the Council adopt the attached resolution approving the
donations, gifts, and sponsorships for this period.

Title
Resolution No. 2021-14 Approving a Local Road Improvement Program Application for the Fridley
and Columbia Heights 53rd Avenue Project
Background
The City of Fridley (City) and City of Columbia Heights (Columbia Heights) are considering a future
rd
pedestrian/bicycle and street resurfacing improvement project on 53 Avenue from Main Street to
Trunk Highway 65 (Central Avenue). The staff of both cities hosted an event on October 26, 2019 to
receive feedback and input from residents. The input gathered from the event was positive towards
moving forward with funding
A federal funding application through the regional solicitation was submitted in April 2020; however, it
was not successful in obtaining an award due to the competitive applications received.
Staff has been working on different designs with Columbia Heights while incorporating feedback
received from the event that took place last October. The different options for the corridor consider
walk versus. trail, geometric improvements,
impacts of the project to the adjacent properties (see Exhibit A for the two preferred typical section
options). Both options include adding a multi-use 10-foot bituminous trail on one side of the street
with a sidewalk going on the opposite side of the street.
The construction costs are currently estimated at $1,635,000 for the project with accommodations for
future lighting. If the project is successful in receiving funding through the program, the project would
receive nearly 80% of the project cost in federal funding. The other 20% match would be divided
between the City and Columbia Heights proportionally to their respective share of the corridor. The City
rd
will cover more of the cost since 53 Avenue west of Trunk Highway 47 is completely in Fridley while
rd
53 Avenue from Trunk Highway 47 to Trunk Highway 65 is split down the centerline between the two
cities. Staff plans to use MSA/Local funds to cover the remainder of the project. The City contribution
depending on eligibility and option chosen would be between $150,000 to $350,000.
Next steps include verifying eligible costs, particularly for the sidewalk, under the intended funding
program, preparation of a draft funding application and subsequently City Council authorization. The
grant funding would set construction for 2023, which would advance the project from anticipated
construction in 2025. Staff will prepare the application in conjunction with Columbia Heights,
supplemented through a future presentation to the City Council. The City would administer the grant
and lead the project.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
21
Jufn!4/
Financial Impact
At present, staff estimate the cost of the Fridley and Columbia Heights 53rd Avenue Project at
approximately $1,635,000. The Adopted 20212025 Capital Investment Program (CIP) does not
authorize any budget authority for the project, but it does contemplate the proposed improvements
as a provisional project predicated on external funding. If the City receive a LRIP grant, other projects
currently planned in the fiveyear CIP may need to be reprioritize as part of the annual CIP development
process; sufficient fund balance would be available to support the grant matching requirement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2021-14.

Resolution No. 2021-14
Resolution Supporting Pursuit of 2020 Local Road Improvement Program Funding From
rd
MNDOT for the Fridley and Columbia Heights 53 Avenue Project
Whereas; prioritize
projects that improve multimodal roadway access in the City of Fridley and specifically have
rd
identified 53 Avenue from Main Street to Central Avenue (Trunk Highway 65) as a priority project,
and
Whereas; in 2019 the City of Fridley and City of Columbia Heights applied resources to outreach
to the affected community, including holding a joint onsite event with the neighborhoods and
rd
stakeholders to identify beneficial improvements to the aforementioned segment of 53 Avenue;
and
Whereas; staff of both cities has developed the identified improvements into a conceptual design
rd
for 53 Avenue from Main Street to Central Avenue (Trunk Highway 65) in the City of Fridley and
City of Columbia Heights called the Fridley and Columbia Heights 53rd Avenue Project; and
Whereas; the Fridley and Columbia Heights 53rd Avenue Project includes rehabilitation of 53rd
Avenue from Main Street to Central Avenue (Trunk Highway 65), including construction of a multi-
use trail, an ADA-compliant sidewalk, and pedestrian level lighting, and
Whereas; the Fridley and Columbia Heights 53rd Avenue Project provides opportunity to create
a safe route for bicyclists, pedestrians, commercial and transit-oriented traffic, and
Whereas; the Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) administered by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) makes available up to $1,250,000 to apply towards
projects on local roads that are regionally significant, result in safety improvements, address
transportation deficiencies, and contribute to economic development, and
Whereas; the proposed year for project construction with LRIP funding is 2023, and
Whereas; City of Fridley staff recommends application for funding through this program and the
City of Columbia Heights supports such an application including sharing local costs at an amount
proportioned to corridor improvements in each respective City,
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council hereby supports the reconstruction and
rehabilitation of 53rd Avenue from Main Street to Central Avenue (Trunk Highway 65), including
construction of a multi-use trail, ADA compliant sidewalk, and may include either pedestrian level
lighting or accommodation for the same.
23
Jufn!4/
Be it further resolved, that the City Council hereby supports the City's pursuit of LRIP funding
and authorizes staff to prepare and submit such application.
Be it further resolved, that the City Council hereby provides assurance that the City of Fridley
will pay all costs associated with the project and that city staff will ensure that all aspects of LRIP

Resolution No. 2021-11 Approving the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Background
In December of 2018 the City Council approved Resolution No. 2018-73 authorizing staff to submit the
2040 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan (Met) Council for their review. The Met Council authorized
the City to adopt its 2040 Comprehensive Plan in December 2020.
As with every other community, after their initial review of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the Met Council
found that the Plan was incomplete and needed modifications to ensure that all the required elements
and supporting information needed to evaluate the plan was included. The City worked with HKGi, a
local consulting firm to make the updates necessary to address the issues identified by the Met Council.
While there were a number of technical changes made, it should be noted that the overall goals and
policy direction of the Plan remained the same. An overview of the technical changes made to the Plan
is listed below:
!Updates were made to tables throughout the document to make sure forecasts of population,
households, and employment were consistent between the chapters
!Land Use Chapter
o!Stages of development section was added to:
!Provide calculations showing that guided land uses for areas of anticipated
development and redevelopment in the City will be able to accommodate the
forecasted growth
!Calculations were included showing that guidance of future residential
development is at densities high enough to accommodate the development of
affordable housing
!Descriptions of existing and potential tools to address housing needs were added
to the Implementation section
o!
!Housing Chapter
o!Date was added regarding existing housing stock in Fridley

Comprehensive Plan
o!The LWMP was reviewed by Coon Creek Watershed District (CCWD), the Mississippi
Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), and the Rice Creek Watershed District
(RCWD) and underwent a number of revisions to address their comments.
!Wastewater Chapter
o!Growth forecasts were broken down by metershed
o!A section about Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) was added, with estimates on the amount of I/I
currently within the wastewater system and how the City plans to mitigate I/I in the future
!Critical Area Chapter
o!Updates throughout the Chapter were made to meet the Mississippi River Corridor
Critical Area (MRCCA) requirements from the DNR and National Park System
With the above
the City can now officially adopt the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The final plan can be viewed here.
