Agenda Item
1D. Proclamation Recognizing April as Fair Housing Month
Prepared By
Cherie Shoquist, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Summary
The month of April this year marks the 55th anniversary of the passage of the Federal Fair Housing
Law of 1968, declaring discrimination in the sale, rental or financing of housing based on race, color,
religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin as unlawful. Each April, the Unites States
Department of Housing and Urban Development, State Housing Finance Agencies, local communities,
fair housing advocates, and fair housing organizations across the country commemorate Fair Housing
Month by hosting an array of activities that highlight fair housing enforcement efforts, enhance
Americans’ awareness of their fair housing rights, and emphasize the importance of ending housing
discrimination.
In April 2020, the City of Golden Valley, through its Housing and Redevelopment Authority, adopted a
Fair Housing Policy to ensure that fair and equal housing opportunities are available to all persons in
all housing opportunities and development activities funded by the City regardless of race, color,
religion, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, status with
regard to public assistance, creed, familial status, national origin, cultural background, age, or
disability.

Equity Considerations
Proclaiming April as Fair Housing Month is in alignment with the City's dedication to advancing
inclusion and equity for all residents by affirmatively furthering fair housing for the purpose of creating
a safe, health, and accessible community where all residents will thrive. The Proclamation will
increase awareness of the City's Fair Housing Policy and commitment to ending housing
discriminations.
The Proclamation advances the four pillars that guide our equity work: economic prosperity for all;
6
inclusive and effective community engagement; providing unbiased programs and services; and an
infrastructure that supports the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

concerns regarding building height, shading, congestion, and reduced privacy.
Ted Wender, 8038 Golden Valley Road, stated his support for the proposed project and it is a
benefit for the community. He added that studies have proven property values do not decrease
with adding multi-family housing in the neighborhood, they increase and he would like his
property values increase.

Quotes for the project were received on March 28, 2023, and are listed below:
Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc.$204,000
Valley Rich Co., Inc.$129,350
Financial or Budget Considerations
The 2023-2032 Water and Sanitary Sewer Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes $150,000 in
2023 for valve replacement (W&SS-066).
Legal Considerations
The competitive low quote process was used.
Equity Considerations
Staff solicited quotes from fifteen utility contractors, including twelve Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises using the Minnesota Unified Certification Program database, and three community
organizations that work with Minority and Women Business Enterprises.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to execute the Contract for Gate Valve Repairs with

expenses made necessary thereby, shall be at Contractor’s expense. Contractor’s warranty shall exclude

other obligations Contractor has under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the one-year period for
correction of Work as described in this Section relates only to the specific obligation of Contractor to
correct the Work, and has no relationship to the time within which the obligation to comply with the
Contract Documents may be sought to be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be
commenced to establish Contractor’s liability with respect to Contractor’s obligations other than

Agenda Item
3F. Receive and File 2022 Pay Equity Report
Prepared By
Kirsten Santelices, Deputy City Manager/Human Resources Director
Summary
In 1984, the Minnesota Legislature passed the Local Government Pay Equity Act (LGPEA) to address
the perceived wage disparity between government jobs predominantly held by male employees and
those held by predominantly female employees. To ensure compliance with this law, each local
government jurisdiction is required to submit a Pay Equity Implementation report every three years.
The City’s contracts with David Drown & Associates (DDA) for compensation and classification of City
positions. On behalf of the City, DDA submitted the 2022 Pay Equity Implementation report to the
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) prior to its deadline of January 31, 2023. The attached
report shows that the City is in compliance with the Pay Equity Act.
Financial or Budget Considerations
N/A
Legal Considerations
State law requires all public jurisdictions to eliminate any gender-based wage inequities in
compensation. The attached report shows that the City is in compliance with the Pay Equity Act.
Equity Considerations
Pay equity aligns with the City's equity plan pillar of providing economic opportunities for all and
aligns with initiatives of the City to create and maintain gender equity, including the City's
proclamation, CEDAW.
Recommended Action
Motion to receive and file 2022 Pay Equity Report.

Golden Valley City Council Meeting
April 4, 2023
Agenda Item
6A. Second Consideration of Ordinance No. 761 Amending the 2023 Master Fee Schedule for Items
Related to Micromobility Licenses
Prepared By
Myles Campbell, Planner
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
Since 2019, the City has benefited from agreements with private companies providing electric scooters
for use by local residents and consumers. This year the City has partnered with the Cities of Hopkins
and Saint Louis Park in order to share best practices from all three cities in managing the licensing
agreements associated with these micromobility vehicle providers. In addition, the three cities
released a joint RFP this year for micromobility services, with the idea being that as a group the cities
could attract greater interest from providers and simplify the application process on the private
sector's end.
From this collaboration, staff noted that the current licensing fee for micromobility scooters was well
below that of adjacent suburban communities, and likely did not fully cover the staff-time costs
associated with drafting application materials, reviewing bids, and eventually administering to these
vehicles in the public ROW. Staff is proposing a new fee arrangement, in which $75 is collected as
part of a licensing agreement for each vehicle in the initial deployment. Last year, with 30 Bird
scooters, this would have totaled, $2,250. In 2023, the City is targeting an initial deployment of 50
scooters and would collect a $3,750 deployment fee. Note that subsequent increases to the fleet size
by the provider are not assessed any additional fee, per the license agreement. In addition to the
licensing fee, staff is also including two fees related to impoundment of vehicles, which were
previously required as part of past license agreements, but not included in the fee schedule. These
allow the City to collect a fee upon impoundment of a vehicle and a storage fee for so long as it is not
reclaimed.
Financial or Budget Considerations
The proposed fee change better accounts for costs associated with staff time spent administering
micromobility programs.
Legal Considerations
Changes to the license agreement for micromobility providers will be reviewed by the City Attorney.
