Executive Summary
Golden Valley Council/Manager Meeting
February 10, 2015
Agenda Item
3. Joint Powers Agreement - PUD No. 121 - Central Park West - Southwest Quadrant of I-394 and
Highway 100
Prepared By
Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Summary
Staff will discuss with Council the main points to be covered in a potential Joint Powers
Agreement with City of St. Louis Park regarding PUD site No. 121 (Central Park West). The
preliminary plan received approval from Golden Valley City Council on December 16 and St. Louis
Park City Council on December 15. The final PUD plan application was submitted on February 4,
2015, but a public hearing is not yet scheduled.
If the final plan receives approval from both City Councils, a loint Powers Agreement will be
necessary to outline the powers that each municipality has on this 13.48 acre site. Staff at both
cities have begun discussions with their respective department heads and City Managers to begin
determining the specific issues that must be addressed and negotiated. The City Attorney will
alsa be very involved in the review and drafting of this document. Staff plans to bring a Joint
Powers Agreement to City Council in the near future.
Due to the complexity of this project, there are three key documents that will be necessary if final
PUD approval is granted. Using the attached summary of potential agreements and permits, staff
will discuss with Council the distinctions between the Joint Powers Agreement, PUD Permit, and
Development Agreement,

Agenda Item
5. Proposed City Code Amendment - Chapter 4.31: Stormwater Management
Prepared By
Jeff Oliver, PE, City Engineer
Eric Eckman, Public Works Specialist
Summary
The City has a stormwater management ordinance that was last updated in 2010. The ordinance
is the regulatary mechanism that helps the City to enforce its stormwater requirements to ensure
the protection of its water resources. The ordinance is part of the City's overall stormwater
management program that is required under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) program administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
In response to changing federal regulations, the MPCA reissued its Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit in 2013. The City applied for and received permit coverage under the
new permit in April 2014. As part of the MPCA approval, the City is required to make updates to
its stormwater management program, including its regulatory controls such as the Stormwater
Management Ordinance, within 12 months of permit coverage.
Updates to the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance are based upon Environmental
Protection Agency rules, the MPCA Construction Permit, MS4 Permit language and guidance
documents, the Minnesota Cities Stormwater Coalition guidance, and the Bassett Creek
Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) draft watershed management plan.
Major revisions to the ordinance include the following:
� Updating and clarifying the project thresholds which trigger permit applications and
project reviews by the City and its partner agencies.
� Construction site stormwater runoff controls—adding recommended language and
references to the MPCA Construction Permit for sites equal to or greater than one acre.
� Post-construction stormwater management—adding recommended language from the
MPCA MS4 Permit and BCWMC watershed plan for sites equal to or greater than one
acre. This includes requirements for new development, redevelopment, and linear
projects, and limitations and exceptions to the requirement.
� General Performance Standards - Buffers—adding the new BCWMC buffer requirements
for consistency with watershed plan.
� Illicit Discharge - adding recommended language regarding the prohibition of illegal
discharges into the City's stormwater system or surface waters, including the City's
authority to inspect private properties to ensure compliance.
City staff will be present at the Council/Manager meeting to discuss the ordinance updates in
more detail. It is anticipated that the final draft ordinance will be brought to a City Council
meeting in the near future for first and second consideration.

Prepared By
Stacy Carlson, Chief of Police
Summary
In 2014 the Minnesota State Legislature amended Minnesota Statute Chapter 144, the Clean
Indoor Air Act,to define "e-cigarettes" and ban their use from certain state-owned facilities.
E-cigarettes are not specifically defined in the City Code, nor are they specifically included in the
prohibited use or sale in these sections. Staff is requesting the Council determine whether to
amend Section 6.34 Tobacco and Section 10.67 Smoke Free Environment to prohibit sale of
e-cigarettes and use of e-cigarettes in public places and places of work.

Section 6.34: Tobacco
Subdivision 1. Purpose and Intent
Because the City recognizes that many persons under the age of eighteen (18)
years purchase or otherwise obtain, possess and use tobacco, tobacco products,
tobacco-re�ated devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices, and the sales,
possession, and use are violations of both state and federal laws; and because
studies, which the City hereby accepts and adopts, have shown that most smokers
begin smoking before they have reached the age of eighteen (18) years and that
those persons who reach the age af eighteen (18) years without having started
smoking are significantly less likely to begin smoking; and because smoking has
been shown to be the cause of several serious health problems which subsequently
place a financial burden on all levels of government; this ordinance shall be
intended to regulate the sale, possession and use of tobacco, tobacco products,
tobacco-related devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices for the purpose of
enforcing and furthering existing laws, to protect minors against the serious effects
associated with the illegal use of tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related
devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices, and to further the official public
policy oF the state in regard to preventing young people from starting to smoke as
stated in Minnesota Statutes § 144.391, as it may be amended from time to time.
In making these findings, the City Council accepts the conclusions and
recommendations of Center for Disease Control in their study ��Selected Cigarette
Smokinq Initiation and Quitting Behaviors Among High School Students, United
States, 1997," and of the following medical professionals in these medical journals:

at Starting Smoking and Number of Cigarettes Smoked," Annals of Epidemiology

Implications for Quitting," Health Reports 9(4):39-46, Spring 1998; Everett SA, et
al., "Initiation of Cigarette Smoking and Subsequent Smoking Behavior Among U.S.
