Public Hearing
Applicant: Paul and Jessica Anderson
Address: 1345 Natchez Avenue South
Purpose: Lot Consolidation to join 1345 Natchez Ave S with a vacant parcel of land to the north
Goellner referred to a location map of the subject properties and explained the applicant’s proposal to
consolidate 1345 Natchez Avenue South with vacant land to the north which is excess land from MnDOT
highway construction. She noted that the excess land is not wide enough to be buildable on its own and
that the existing single family home would remain. Goellner stated that the remnant land used to be a
larger parcel with a house on it in the 1970s and that MnDOT purchased it along with others along
Wayzata Blvd. in order to expand the freeway.
Goellner explained that the lot, after consolidation, will meet the requirements of the R-1 Single Family
Zoning District. It will be more than 10,000 square feet in area and it will have more than 100 feet of
width at the front yard setback line along both Wayzata Blvd. and Natchez Avenue. She stated that it is a
goal of the City Council to return excess land to the tax roll so this is the best option for this property
rather than to grant the necessary variances to make the remnant parcel buildable on its own.

She stated that because the proposal meets all of the conditions listed in the City Code for approval staff
is recommending approval.
Segelbaum said he remembers past discussions about this intersection and the ability to merge onto the
service lane in this area on the south side of I-394. Goellner referred to a map of the area and discussed
the addition of a stop sign and a turn lane at the Wayzata Blvd./TH 100 intersection as part of the Central
Park West Development. Segelbaum asked if the City watches that area and if there are concerns about
the owners of this property maintaining visibility. Goellner said the site lines and speeds on Wayzata
Blvd. were discussed during the Central Park West development process in 2015. Since then, the City’s
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan has shown a multi-use off-street trail on the south side of the roadway and
that part of this lot consolidation proposal includes enough right-of-way in order to build that trail. She
added that corner visibility would come into play if the property owner ever wanted to build closer to
the north corner of the lot. Segelbaum asked about the width of the right-of-way for the trail. Goellner
said it is 20 ft. from the curb.
Baker asked if driveways would be allowed on Wayzata Blvd. Goellner said that there aren’t strict code
requirements regarding driveway access on Wayzata Blvd. so it would have to be determined at the time
of the design of a proposed driveway.
Johnson asked if the lot could be subdivided in the future. Goellner said no because there would not be
enough lot width along Natchez Ave. S.
Baker asked if the City is conveying or selling the property to the applicant. Goellner said the City is
transferring the property to the applicant for one dollar and that the applicant has paid for all of the
costs for preparing it for sale.
Baker referred to the staff report and noted that it said the applicant is not planning any additions. He
asked what “additions” means. Goellner stated that the proposed lot consolidation will create a larger
buildable area but that the applicants aren’t planning to utilize it at this time.
Paul Anderson, 1345 Natchez Avenue South, said he’d answer any questions. Segelbaum asked Anderson
if he intends to keep the site line open looking east. Anderson said there is a slight curve to the east and
that there is no restriction of the site lines. He said the hardest site line is to the west where there is also
a lot of acceleration from the stop sign. He added that they plan to build a fence and plant some shrubs
to help with freeway noise.
Baker opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the
public hearing.
MOTION made by Segelbaum, seconded by Pockl to recommend approval of a Lot Consolidation to join
1345 Natchez Ave S with a vacant parcel of land to the north and the motion carried unanimously.

Public Hearing
Applicant: City of Golden Valley
Purpose: Zoning Code Text Amendment to consider adding architectural and material standards to
the Zoning Code
Zimmerman reminded the Commission that they have discussed this item several times over the past
few months and now staff has prepared new Zoning Code text language for consideration.
Zimmerman reviewed the proposed language which will be a new section of the Zoning Code and will
include a purpose statement, general standards that apply to all zoning districts, specific regulations that
apply to the R-3, R-4, Commercial, Office, Institutional, Light Industrial, and Industrial zoning districts,
and a section that applies to building additions and expansions.
Zimmerman referred to the proposed purpose statement which addresses the following goals:
development and redevelopment is held to a high standard with respect to visual quality, structural and
ornamental elements are utilized to maximize variety and architectural interest, building facades facing
the public realm are active and engaging, and the built environment is maintained in good condition.
Zimmerman reviewed the proposed language for the general standards section which include both
architectural and materials standards. He stated per the Planning Commission’s last discussion stucco
was moved down from the Class I materials list to the Class II materials list.
Zimmerman next reviewed the proposed language for architectural and material standards in the
specific zoning districts. He showed the Commission several photos of different architectural techniques
and materials. He stated per the Planning Commission’s last discussion that the percentage of Class I
materials required on front facades and side and rear facades visible from the public right-of-way was
reduced from 60% to 50%.
Zimmerman showed the Commission examples of how some of the more recently constructed buildings
would have met these proposed new standards.
Johnson referred to the percentages required on various facades and asked about the intent of the
proposed new language, where the proposed percentages came from and what they are trying to
accomplish. Zimmerman stated that discussions started with considering a higher class of materials only
on front facades and that 60% was chosen initially because that is similar to what adjoining communities
require. He explained that during the discussions it was determined that for facades that aren’t as visible
from the public realm it isn’t as important so the percentages were reduced. He added that much of the
proposed language came from the existing language in the I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District.
Baker referred to the language about windows and transparency and asked how the code deals with
windows that aren’t completely transparent. Zimmerman stated that the proposed language says
windows shall be clear or slightly tinted to allow unobstructed views into and out of buildings.

Blum said he thought they had discussed the value of any pedestrian walkway being substantially next to
a transparent facade. Zimmerman said there was some more complicated language included in past
discussions that focused on mixed use areas which also calculated the length of a wall as well as the area
of required transparency. He stated that in order to simplify the language that was taken out. Blum said
there could be a massing of glass (30%) along one part of a building on a street facade and the rest of
building could be brick or a different material. He said he was imagining that the entire length of a
ground floor would be transparent. Zimmerman agreed that the transparency could be concentrated in
one area and said they could require transparency every so many feet. Baker said it would then be less
likely to get an area of solid window.
Brookins said he doesn’t have concerns about the R-3 and R-4 Zoning Districts because developers will
actively try to work to bring light into the units. He said he is comfortable with the currently proposed
language. Blum agreed with that in regard to residential uses, but he would like to see more
transparency required on a ground level of a commercial type of use. Zimmerman said language could be
added to state that a minimum of 60% of the length of a front facade has to have windows in it, or there
can be only so many feet of a facade before a window is required. Brookins noted that the proposed
language doesn’t yet include requirements for the Mixed Use Zoning District so he feels comfortable
with the proposed language as it is but adding additional language about the amount of transparency
required to the Mixed Use Zoning District when it is considered in the future.
Pockl noted that the architectural standards have a pedestrian appeal requirement and asked if there is
a way to make that same requirement in regard to materials. She asked if the proposals would come
before the Planning Commission for review. Zimmerman said proposals that are by right would not have
to seek any additional approvals.
Blum said it would be worth noting that the language about the length of facades and window
requirements was dropped from the final proposed language. Zimmerman agreed and said staff could
offer some additional language to the City Council.
Baker opened the public hearing. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to comment, Baker closed the
public hearing.
Segelbaum said he thinks the proposed code language reflects the Commission’s intent. The
Commissioners agreed.
Johnson asked if there is a section of the code that grandfathers properties where this language doesn’t
apply. Zimmerman said there is a section of code dealing with non-conforming properties.
Brookins asked how this language would apply to PUDs. Zimmerman said it wouldn’t be treated any
differently than any other regulation in the Zoning Code.
MOTION made by Brookins, seconded by Blum to recommend approval of adding Section 113-157. -
Architectural and Material standards to the Zoning Code and the motion carried unanimously.

Discussion – Mixed Use Zoning District
Zimmerman reminded the Commission that they have had previous discussions about the existing I-394
Mixed Use Zoning District language and how it’s turned out to be complicated and hasn’t been getting
the product and results the City hoped it would. He referred to the work done by Transit Oriented
Development (TOD) consultants in the summer of 2018 and stated that staff has now taken that work
and combined it with discussions the Commission has had to begin to create new Mixed Use Zoning
District language.
Zimmerman said he would like to focus on setback and height issues at this meeting and discuss other
areas of the proposed new language at future meetings.
Zimmerman referred to the proposed new code language and reviewed the purpose and goals of the
Mixed Use Zoning District.
Blum referred to principle F in the purpose statement that reads “fostering neighborhood-serving retail
and services” and suggested that adding the word “uses” might be broader and encompass more. He
also suggested another principle be added that talks about transition between this district and other
districts. Zimmerman said the issue of transition will be in the language regarding setbacks, etc. Blum
said part of the purpose section is to highlight positive parts of why this exists and signals that it is
important. Goellner added that the locations that will be zoned Mixed Use are highly visible areas of the
City.
Zimmerman referred to the proposed building and site standards section and explained the language
regarding minimum façade buildout. Segelbaum asked about the objective this language is trying to
achieve. Zimmerman said it deals with having a continuous facade and not having too many breaks or
large gaps. Baker asked about the role of the secondary front yard language. Zimmerman said it is a way
to wrap the front facade around the building and extend it some depth into the lot and helps to force
parking behind a building. Brookins asked if the practicality of the proposed language has been tested on
any existing properties. Zimmerman said no. Baker said he would rather require more trees and say that
parking has to be behind buildings and require larger setbacks rather than using percentages like in the
proposed language. Goellner said she would like to review this language more and figure out how it
would work in the City’s Mixed Use areas.
Goellner referred to the proposed building height section and stated that the consultants are
recommending a maximum height of four stories for the neighborhood mixed use, six stories for the
community mixed use and a stepback provision that requires upper stores to be set back 15 feet from
the facade of the story below. Baker asked what the goal is in stepping a building back. Zimmerman said
it is to allow for sunlight and to prevent the streets from becoming to canyon like. Goellner said most
residential buildings are six stories height due to construction costs. Baker said he doesn’t understand
why there are different stepback requirements for the different subdistricts. Zimmerman said it has to
do with the massing of the buildings and being compatible with the surroundings. Baker referred to the
TOD draft code language and said he likes how it describes each of the different subdistricts.

Apr 22, 2019 – 7 pm

Blum said he dislikes adding excessive descriptive language because the code should be simplified and
easy for people to read. He suggested using annotation or notes at the end that are more descriptive.
Baker said that if the whole code is based around the three subdistricts they should be described.
Goellner discussed more of the proposed height requirements and said she thinks that it is important to
focus on the number of stories and to have a maximum height listed. Baker asked about having
minimum height requirements. Zimmerman said he is not sure how important it is to require two stories
and that the market might somewhat dictate that. Blum said he thinks they should say upfront that they
want buildings in these area to be a certain height in order to provide flexibility and a variety of uses.
Goellner said they don’t want to preclude one story retail or restaurants. Baker asked if an area with
taller buildings is considered to be more walkable. Zimmerman said there is some data about what feels
comfortable in terms of the proportions of width of streets to heights of buildings alongside them. He
said more height also means more density and more activity. Baker said if that is the case then he would
support requiring a minimum of two stories. Segelbaum said he wants to encourage restaurants and
walk up retail and if the code is too difficult and the costs are too high the City won’t get them.
Zimmerman referred the facade types section of the proposed code and explained that buildings fall into
three types of facades: storefront, common entry, and stoop. He said he is not sure that this section
needs to be included or if it is overly complicated. Goellner said she thinks the language about stoops
should be considered. Baker said language about canopies and overhangs should be further studied.
Zimmerman referred to the uses section of the proposed code and stated that some of the language
about live-work units has been retained from the existing code. He said staff is working on simplifying
the language and comparing this type of use to a home occupation. Pockl asked if there is data about
how many live-work spaces there are in the City. Zimmerman said there are a fair amount of home
occupations but they are not allowed in the R-3 or R-4 Zoning Districts. Blum said live-work units seem to
minimize the walkability and human interactions. Zimmerman said he envisions using some of the home
occupation restrictions in the live-work unit code language.
Goellner referred to some preliminary ideas regarding setbacks and height. She stated that the TOD
consultants suggest a front setback of 0 to 10 feet in all cases because this is the most important for
sidewalks and the pedestrian environment. She said the recommendation for the side setbacks would be
around 5 to 10 feet with a larger setback for properties abutting R-1 and R-2. The height
recommendation is 4 to 6 stories with a stepback requirement. The Commissioners discussed various
front setbacks and how they would look and work with cars, bikes, pedestrians, etc. Johnson questioned
if a combination of no parking and wide sidewalks would encourage cars to speed, which would not
create a pedestrian friendly environment. Zimmerman said staff would further study the front setback
numbers.
Goellner referred to the TOD consultants recommendations for side and rear setbacks and stated that
they are recommending a 1 or 6 feet minimum side setback in subdistrict A and 0 or 6 feet minimum side
setback for subdistricts B and C. A 3-foot minimum rear setback is recommended in all subdistricts.
Zimmerman noted that parking setbacks would be different. Segelbaum said he would like to see small

side and rear setbacks because it is more economical and will help obtain the goals of this district. Baker
questioned if they should consider encouraging walkability around all sides of a building. Goellner said
there has been discussion about having smaller setbacks in the downtown area specifically.
Zimmerman referred to the rear yard setback requirement and stated that the recommended 3-foot
setback might be too small depending on the purpose of the setback. If the setback is for plantings or
buffering 3 feet might be too small.
Goellner said dumpsters are also an important consideration and most of them are stored in side or rear
yards. Blum said he would like to take all storage out of side yards.
Zimmerman said they will discuss lot coverage, open space, uses, development standards, parking,
pedestrian circulation, and drive-thrus at future Planning Commission meetings.

Team Building Activity
The Task Force Members participated in a team building activity.
Discussion of Topic: Eliminating Bias in Reviewing RFPs and Contracts
Chair Allen reminded members that they were asked at the last meeting to provide possible groups or
organizations that the City could connect with regarding the work of the Task Force. The members
discussed possible groups and City Attorney Cisneros said the information could be emailed to her and
she would share it with the City's Communications Department.
Chair Allen introduced the topic for discussion. Cisneros provided background information on the
process the City currently uses for reviewing contracts including the State Statutes governing the bidding
process that cities must follow. Physical Development Director Nevinski and City Manager Cruikshank
answered questions for members on current City practices.
The Task Force discussed and commented on the first question posed by staff on this topic:
1. What barriers exist for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE)to bid on public projects?
Members asked what the meaning of disadvantaged business enterprises was. Nevinski said it is a
contracting term used in federal law. Chair Allen said there are efforts in place to change the
language from "disadvantaged"to "underrepresented." Members discussed possible definitions of
the word disadvantaged as it is used in federal law. Cruikshank read the official federal definition.
MEETING MINUTES—Rising TIDES Task Force 2
Mar 12, 2019
Members decided at this time to substitute the term with "underrepresented" and to state in
parenthesis that it corresponds to the federal term "disadvantaged."
Members asked how the City currently communicates with disadvantaged groups regarding possible
bidding opportunities and where postings are advertised. Members discussed possible opportunities
for pushing postings out to underrepresented groups.
Members asked if the City looks at more than just price when awarding contracts. They also asked
who in the City reviews and selects the top bidders. Nevinski shared that the answers to these
questions vary by department and contract type. Cisneros said the best opportunities for change may
be (1) with the contracts under$175,000 because the City is not required to meet the public bidding
law requirements; or (2) by requiring larger contractors to subcontract parts of the bid to
underrepresented business.
Members discussed that some bids may require specialized contractors to qualify, which may narrow
the pool of bidders and asked if there is motivation in the process for including minority
participation. Members discussed possible barriers groups may have and possible goals the City could
use to overcome them.
Chair Allen summarized the discussion regarding possible barriers including how language is used,
how language definitions may need to be more classified to become more inclusive, communication
in general, additional resources large firms may have, and cash flow for smaller business. She said
some ideas that were discussed are: looking at scenarios that motivate larger contractors to use
subcontractors from underrepresented groups and the importance in setting clear, measureable
goals to guide this group as they make suggestions to the City.
Take away: Members should identify ideas and goals that the groups can discuss regarding the
barriers to underrepresented businesses in the bidding process.

Chair Allen adjourned the meeting at 5:56 pm.

Discussion of Topic: Eliminating Bias in Reviewing RFPs and Contracts
Chair Allen introduced the topic—eliminating bias in the contracting process. She said at the last meeting
a comment was made regarding what the goals of the contracting process should be and she asked if the
group should decide what they would like to accomplish regarding the contracting process.
Members discussed ways of recording input on the topics being discussed by using a worksheet or
template and decided each meeting would be summarized by a different Member and that the summary
would include information from the minutes and other notes taken during the meeting. City Attorney
Cisneros said staff could provide a template for future meetings. City Manager Cruikshank said a goal of
the Task Force is to submit a final report with recommendations and action steps for staff and Council to
consider for implementation and having summary of agreed upon actions may help in assembling this.

accomplish. The list included:
Design a more inclusive system;

MEETING MINUTES— Rising TIDES Task Force 2
Apr 9, 2019
The Task Force moved to discussion of the topic for consideration. Chair Allen read an email she
received regarding catering at Brookview. The Task Force discussed the email and what steps could
be taken to increase participation of women and minority-owned business during the preferred
caterer bidding process. Members made the following suggestions:
Members suggested the City partner with organizations that work with women and
minority-owned business to find out where upcoming bidding information could be posted.
Members said bidding guidelines should be posted on the City's website for bidders to
easily find. Mr. Nevinski said sealed bid projects are posted, and the City has a subscription
service that allows applicants to be notified of upcoming bids.
Members discussed the City holding informational sessions during the year to update
vendors before a project is bid.
Members discussed ways to encourage contractors to sub-contract with women or
minority-owned businesses for large projects.
Members discussed providing training for City employees on this issue. Mr. Nevinski said it
may be possible to partner with surrounding communities.
Members discussed how far in advance the City should provide information to potential
bidders, creating a registry of types of upcoming projects and pre-bid meetings.
Chair Allen summarized the discussion regarding the ways the City could notify potential women or
minority owned business vendors of upcoming project including additional information on the City's
website, expanding the City's network to be able to reach out to women and minority-owned
business, holding pre-bid meetings, creating a registry for types of upcoming projects, being more
regional, having City spend goals, and providing additional employee training.

transportation costs, to which will be added fifteen percent (15%) of the sum
thereof.

material, the City will take possession of the surplus materials that have
been purchased and shipped or delivered to the Project, or will order the
material returned to the supplier for credit and will pay the Contractor the
actual purchase price of the material plus transportation costs, to which
will be added fifteen percent (15%) of the total thereof, and from which will
be deducted any credits received by the Contractor for materials returned.
(3) Materials that have been ordered but have not been consigned for
shipment shall be paid for upon delivery the same as materials in transit or
delivered only when the supplier is unwilling to cancel or modify the order
such as in the case of materials requiring special manufacture, fabrication,
or processing so as to be unsuitable for general use.

materials complete in place. Contractor shall furnish invoices or an affidavit showing

and accepted for use, nor will any payment be made for accepted materials that have
not been properly preserved, stored, and maintained to the date on which they are
delivered to the City.

Summary
The 2018 Vehicle and Equipment Capital Improvement Program includes $50,000 for the
purchase of a Bobcat Toolcat (Vehicle and Equipment CIP 116). The fund balance currently is
$50,000 before the proposed purchase.
The existing Toolcat, unit 703 (previously #478), meets replacement criteria set forth in the City’s
vehicle replacement policy and Vehicle Condition Index (VCI). The VCI is a tool utilized to assess
all vehicles and equipment scheduled for replacement and any vehicle/equipment scoring 28
points and above meets the category of “needs immediate consideration.” The 2011 Toolcat due
for replacement scored 28 points.
The Toolcat is used for park maintenance, road construction, snow removal, tree trimming, utility
maintenance, and special events.

Tri-State Bobcat has offered a trade-in on Unit 703 for $21,533.20. Staff feels this is a good offer
compared to previous trade-ins and the current used market.
Tri-State Bobcat is offering an Annual Equipment Trade-Out Program. This program allows the
City to purchase a new Bobcat 5600 Toolcat Utility Work Machine annually for $4,500, which is
close to the estimated depreciation value. The City will be responsible for routine maintenance
and non-warranty repairs. Staff recommends enrollment in the Tri-State Bobcat, Inc. Annual
Trade-Out Program as the City will save approximately $2,000 per year in maintenance and repair
costs. The majority of the saving will come from not having to buy and replace wear items such
as tires, hoses, belts, tie rods, ball joints, and CV axles. Additional savings will come from major
repairs being covered under warranty and less downtime.

tracks, sprockets, hoses, and belts. Additional savings will come from major repairs being
covered under warranty and less downtime.

Agenda Item
6. A. Resolution Providing For the Competitive Negotiated Sale of $1,970,000 General Obligation
Improvement Bonds, Series 2019A
Prepared By
Susan Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
The proceeds of the $1,970,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 2019A will finance the
following:
• The bond proceeds of $1,970,000 will finance the reconstruction of local streets and
driveways included in the 2019 Pavement Management Program (PMP) project area. This
project and special assessment hearing was approved by the City Council on January 16,
2019. The debt service on these bonds will be paid from tax levies and special
assessments levied against benefitted properties.
This issue was lowered from the original issue size of $3,864,050 to $1,970,000 because of the
following:
• One of the City Council goals was to reduce the level of debt whenever possible. In April
16, 2019, the city approved $1,494,500 of 2018 positive performance to be transferred to
the Street Improvement Fund to reduce the size of the 2019 PMP bond.
• The City is also able to close the 2004A and 2013A Tax Abatement Debt Service Fund. The
second resolution attached will allow for $397,388.17 remaining monies to be transferred
to the Street Improvement Fund.
With these two actions and monies of $2,161.83 from the Street Improvement Fund the bond
amount will be $1,970,000.
If approved, the bids will be received on June 18, 2019 and awarded after the Council
consideration. The bond proceeds will be received on July 18, 2019.

RESOLUTION NO. 19-28
RESOLUTION REALLOCATING THE EXPENDITURE OF CERTAIN PROCEEDS
OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION TAX ABATEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2004B AND
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2013A
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of City of Golden Valley, Minnesota (the
“City”), as follows:
1. Background. The City has issued its General Obligation Bonds, Series 2013A
(the “Series 2013A Bonds”), pursuant to resolution adopted March 19, 2013 authorizing the
issuance of the Series 2013A Bonds (the “2013A Bond Resolution”), in part to refund (the
“Refunding Portion”) the 2014 through 2019 maturities of the City’s General Obligation Tax
Abatement Bonds, Series 2004B (the “Series 2004B Bonds”). The Series 2004B Bonds
authorized the use of proceeds to finance the construction of street, utility, right of way and
drainage improvements in the City (the “Tax Abatement Improvements”). The Refunding
Portion of the Series 2013A Bonds have been paid in full and certain funds remain in a
Bond Fund established pursuant to the 2013A Bond Resolution.
2. Authorization of Use of Series 2013A Bonds. Although the City had originally
intended to use the proceeds of the Series 2004B Bonds for the Tax Abatement
Improvements which have now been completed, use of such proceeds for the City’s
Pavement Management Program (“2019 PMP”) is authorized pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.65 which provides that if any balance of the proceeds of bonds
remains after the original purpose is accomplished, the remaining amount may be devoted
to any other public use authorized by law, and approved by resolution adopted or vote taken
in the manner required to authorize bonds for such new use and purpose and by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.61, subd. 4 which provides that if any balance remains in a debt
service fund established for the payment of bonds after such bonds and the accrued interest
thereon have been paid in full may be appropriated to any other general purpose by the
City. The City has determined that remaining proceeds of the Refunding Portion of the
Series 2013A Bonds, in an amount approximately equal to $397,388.17, are available to
finance a portion of the costs of the 2019 PMP. Now, therefore, the City hereby authorizes
expenditure of the remaining proceeds of the Series 2013A Bonds to finance a portion of
the costs of the PMP in the amount of $397,388.17 or such other amount as determined
necessary for such purpose by the City’s Finance Director.
Adopted by the City Council of Golden Valley, Minnesota this 21st day of May, 2019.

* The City reserves the right, after proposals are opened and prior to award, to increase or reduce the
principal amount of the Bonds or the amount of any maturity or maturities in multiples of $5,000. In the
event the amount of any maturity is modified, the aggregate purchase price will be adjusted to result in the
same gross spread per $1,000 of Bonds as that of the original proposal. Gross spread for this purpose is
the differential between the price paid to the City for the new issue and the prices at which the proposal
indicates the securities will be initially offered to the investing public.
Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of
serial bonds and term bonds. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund
redemption at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption scheduled to
conform to the maturity schedule set forth above. In order to designate term bonds, the
proposal must specify “Years of Term Maturities” in the spaces provided on the proposal
form.
BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”), New York, New York, which will act as securities depository for the Bonds.
Individual purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any
multiple thereof of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of
DTC and its participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its
nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to
participants of DTC will be the responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest
payments to beneficial owners by participants will be the responsibility of such participants
and other nominees of beneficial owners. The lowest bidder (the “Purchaser”), as a condition
of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
Resolution No. 19-29 -5- May 21, 2019
The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The City will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 2029, and on any day thereafter, to redeem Bonds due on
or after February 1, 2030. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option
of the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a
maturity are called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such
maturity to be redeemed. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest
in such maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial
ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed. All redemptions shall be at a price of
par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith
and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City will pledge
special assessments from benefited properties for repayment of a portion of the Bonds. The
proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance the City’s 2019 Pavement Management
Program.
BIDDING PARAMETERS
Proposals shall be for not less than $1,942,420 plus accrued interest, if any, on the total
principal amount of the Bonds. No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set
for receiving proposals on the Sale Date unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award
of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without award of the
Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 1/100 or 1/8 of 1%. The
initial price to the public for each maturity as stated on the proposal must be 98.0% or
greater. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the
date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be accepted.
ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE
In order to provide the City with information necessary for compliance with Section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), the Purchaser will be required to assist the City in
establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall complete, execute, and deliver to the City
prior to the closing date, a written certification in a form acceptable to the Purchaser, the
City, and Bond Counsel (the “Issue Price Certificate”) containing the following for each
maturity of the Bonds (and, if different interest rates apply within a maturity, to each separate
CUSIP number within that maturity): (i) the interest rate; (ii) the reasonably expected initial
offering price to the “public” (as said term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-
1(f) (the “Regulation”)) or the sale price; and (iii) pricing wires or equivalent communications
supporting such offering or sale price. Any action to be taken or documentation to be
received by the City pursuant hereto may be taken or received on behalf of the City by Baker
Tilly MA.
The City intends that the sale of the Bonds pursuant to this Terms of Proposal shall
constitute a “competitive sale” as defined in the Regulation based on the following:
Resolution No. 19-29 -6- May 21, 2019
(i) the City shall cause this Terms of Proposal to be disseminated to potential
bidders in a manner that is reasonably designed to reach potential bidders;
(ii) all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to submit a bid;
(iii) the City reasonably expects that it will receive bids from at least three bidders
that have established industry reputations for underwriting municipal bonds
such as the Bonds; and
(iv) the City anticipates awarding the sale of the Bonds to the bidder who provides
a proposal with the lowest true interest cost, as set forth in this Terms of
Proposal (See “AWARD” herein).
Any bid submitted pursuant to this Terms of Proposal shall be considered a firm offer for the
purchase of the Bonds, as specified in the proposal. The Purchaser shall constitute an
“underwriter” as said term is defined in the Regulation. By submitting its proposal, the
Purchaser confirms that it shall require any agreement among underwriters, a selling group
agreement, or other agreement to which it is a party relating to the initial sale of the Bonds,
to include provisions requiring compliance with the provisions of the Code and the
Regulation regarding the initial sale of the Bonds.
If all of the requirements of a “competitive sale” are not satisfied, the City shall advise the
Purchaser of such fact prior to the time of award of the sale of the Bonds to the Purchaser.
In such event, any proposal submitted will not be subject to cancellation or
withdrawal. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the notice of award of the sale of the Bonds,
the Purchaser shall advise the City and Baker Tilly MA if 10% of any maturity of the Bonds
(and, if different interest rates apply within a maturity, to each separate CUSIP number within
that maturity) has been sold to the public and the price at which it was sold. The City will
treat such sale price as the “issue price” for such maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity
basis. The City will not require the Purchaser to comply with that portion of the Regulation
commonly described as the “hold-the-offering-price” requirement for the remaining
maturities, but the Purchaser may elect such option. If the Purchaser exercises such option,
the City will apply the initial offering price to the public provided in the proposal as the issue
price for such maturities. If the Purchaser does not exercise that option, it shall thereafter
promptly provide the City and Baker Tilly MA the prices at which 10% of such maturities are
sold to the public; provided such determination shall be made and the City and Baker Tilly
MA notified of such prices whether or not the closing date has occurred, until the 10% test
has been satisfied as to each maturity of the Bonds or until all of the Bonds of a maturity
have been sold.
GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT
To have its proposal considered for award, the Purchaser is required to submit a good faith
deposit to the City in the amount of $19,700 (the “Deposit”) no later than 1:30 P.M., Central
Time on the Sale Date. The Deposit may be delivered as described herein in the form of
either (i) a certified or cashier’s check payable to the City; or (ii) a wire transfer. The
Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the timely delivery of its Deposit whether by check
or wire transfer. Neither the City nor Baker Tilly MA have any liability for delays in the receipt
of the Deposit. If the Deposit is not received by the specified time, the City may, at its sole
discretion, reject the proposal of the lowest bidder, direct the second lowest bidder to submit
a Deposit, and thereafter award the sale to such bidder.
Resolution No. 19-29 -7- May 21, 2019
Certified or Cashier’s Check. A Deposit made by certified or cashier’s check will be
considered timely delivered to the City if it is made payable to the City and delivered to Baker
Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, 380 Jackson Street, Suite 300, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101
by the time specified above.
Wire Transfer. A Deposit made by wire will be considered timely delivered to the City upon
submission of a federal wire reference number by the specified time. Wire transfer
instructions will be available from Baker Tilly MA following the receipt and tabulation of
proposals. The successful bidder must send an e-mail including the following information: (i)
the federal reference number and time released; (ii) the amount of the wire transfer; and (iii)
the issue to which it applies.
Once an award has been made, the Deposit received from the Purchaser will be retained by
the City and no interest will accrue to the Purchaser. The amount of the Deposit will be
deducted at settlement from the purchase price. In the event the Purchaser fails to comply
with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City.
AWARD
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a
true interest cost (TIC) basis calculated on the proposal prior to any adjustment made by the
City. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in accordance with
customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and (iii) reject any proposal that the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
The City has not applied for or pre-approved a commitment for any policy of municipal bond
insurance with respect to the Bonds. If the Bonds qualify for municipal bond insurance and a
bidder desires to purchase a policy, such indication, the maturities to be insured, and the
name of the desired insurer must be set forth on the bidder’s proposal. The City specifically
reserves the right to reject any bid specifying municipal bond insurance, even though such
bid may result in the lowest TIC to the City. All costs associated with the issuance and
administration of such policy and associated ratings and expenses (other than any
independent rating requested by the City) shall be paid by the successful bidder. Failure of
the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after the award of the Bonds shall not
constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of the
Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for the assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on
the Bonds; however, neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with
respect thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery
of the Bonds. Baker Tilly MA will apply for CUSIP numbers pursuant to Rule G-34
implemented by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The CUSIP Service Bureau
charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the Purchaser.
Resolution No. 19-29 -8- May 21, 2019
SETTLEMENT
On or about July 18, 2019, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the Purchaser through
DTC in New York, New York. Delivery will be subject to receipt by the Purchaser of an
approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of
customary closing papers, including a no-litigation certificate. On the date of settlement,
payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds that shall be received at
the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Unless
compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds has been made impossible by action of
the City, or its agents, the Purchaser shall be liable to the City for any loss suffered by the
City by reason of the Purchaser's non-compliance with said terms for payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(5), the City will undertake, pursuant to the
resolution awarding sale of the Bonds, to provide annual reports and notices of certain
events. A description of this undertaking is set forth in the Official Statement. The
Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Bonds will be conditioned upon receiving evidence of
this undertaking at or prior to delivery of the Bonds. OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of a Preliminary Official Statement containing
pertinent information relative to the Bonds, and said Preliminary Official Statement has been
deemed final by the City as of the date thereof within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. For copies of the Preliminary Official Statement or for
any additional information prior to sale, any prospective purchaser is referred to the
Municipal Advisor to the City, Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, 380 Jackson Street, Suite
300, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (651) 223-3000.
A Final Official Statement (as that term is defined in Rule 15c2-12) will be prepared,
specifying the maturity dates, principal amounts, and interest rates of the Bonds, together
with any other information required by law. By awarding the Bonds to the Purchaser, the City
agrees that, no more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide
without cost to the Purchaser up to 25 copies of the Final Official Statement. The City
designates the Purchaser as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official
Statement to each syndicate member, if applicable. The Purchaser agrees that if its proposal
is accepted by the City, (i) it shall accept designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual
relationship with its syndicate members for purposes of assuring the receipt of the Final

Agenda Item
6. B. First Consideration Amending 2019 Master Fee Schedule for Certain Permit Fees
Prepared By
Sue Virnig, Finance Director
Summary
On December 18, 2018, City Council approved the purchase of Avolve plan review software called
ProjectDox. This software works with the current Permits and Inspections System (PIMS)
application from LOGIS and allows applicants to submit construction and building plans
electronically. City staff can then review and mark up the plans, easily route plans to other
departments, send comments to the applicant and manage plans electronically.
The attachment includes the following recommended fees to be changed for building, fire,
mechanical, and plumbing permits. It does add an increase for the lessor valued permits but the
advantage for all applicants is that they will no longer have to make paper copies which is costly.
The previous fee is stricken (A) and followed by the new rates in Bold or B. A new electronic
document fee is charged to cover the storage and credit card fees. After testing is finished, the
new system will go live in September.
