REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
In light of the recently declared COVID-19 health pandemic, the Mayor of the City of Golden

that declaration, beginning on March 16, 2020, all meetings of the City Council held during the
emergency were conducted by telephone or other electronic means. As such, all votes are
conducted by roll call, so each member's vote on each issue can be identified and recorded
pursuant to Minnesota Stat. 13D.021.

3. E. 1. Approve Purchase of Fire Utility Vehicle
Prepared By
John Crelly, Fire Chief
Tim Kieffer, Public Works Director
Marshall Beugen, Street and Vehicle Maintenance Superintendent
Summary
Vehicles and equipment are evaluated on an annual basis to determine accurate replacement
programing. Staff replaces one Fire Utility vehicle yearly to keep the fleet in optimal performing
condition and stabilize the budgetary impacts from year to year. The Fire Department vehicle
scheduled for replacement meets the 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 or higher meets the category of "needs
immediate consideration." The vehicle due for replacement scored 28 points.
Staff proposes purchasing a hybrid vehicle to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. The
existing vehicle being replaced will be reassigned to other departments with non-emergency response
duties, such as, the Inspections Department.
Financial Or Budget Considerations
The 2021 Vehicles and Equipment Capital Improvement Program includes $40,000 for the purchase of
a Fire Utility vehicle (V&E-139).
Staff recommends purchasing the vehicle from the state contract through the State of Minnesota's
cooperative purchasing venture (CPV). The Minnesota Materials Management Division has awarded
the following contract through the CPV:
Contract No. Item Vendor Amount
158505 2021 Ford Utility Hybrid Vehicle Tenvoorde Ford, Inc. $40,262.24
The purchase price is more than the amount budgeted in the CIP. Additional funding will come from
previous purchases being below budgeted amounts.

3. F. 1. Approve Resolution No. 21- 06 Supporting Homes Within Reach (HWR) Application for the
Hennepin County 2021 Affordable Housing Programs
Prepared By
Myles Campbell, Planner
Summary
Homes Within Reach (HWR) is a non-profit organization (formerly West Hennepin Affordable Housing
Land Trust) that has long been an active provider of affordable, ownership model housing within the City
of Golden Valley. HWR purchases and rehabilitates single-family homes for resale as land trust
properties. Through this land trust model, HWR is able to provide a unique opportunity for home
ownership to income-qualified families and individuals who likely would not be able to purchase a home
in the City on their own, due to the high median value of homes and land within the City.
As they have in past years, HWR is seeking grant funding for their work via County operated affordable
housing programs, specifically the HOME Investment Partnership and Affordable Housing Incentive Fund.
A Resolution authorizing the submittal of a letter of support from the City is attached. In general, the City
provides letters of support for programs that meet a demonstrated need in the community and which
are consistent with the City's goals and vision set forth in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. HWR have
received letters of support from the City in the past, and have been successful with past grant awards
from the County.

Agenda Item
6. A. Second Consideration of Ordinance No. 703 Amending Chapter 103 - Buildings and Building
Regulations and Resolution No. 21-07 for Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 703
Prepared By
Dan L. Anderson, Building Official
Marc Nevinski, Physical Development Director
Summary
City Code Chapter 103 establishes the adoption by reference of the State Building Code for enforcement by
the City, and also sets forth local building related standards. Following a recent review of Chapter 103, the
Building Official is recommending a number of modifications to update the code, clarify authority, and add
tools to address property and construction related concerns. The significant modifications and additions
are summarized as follows:
103-1 Building Code Adopted
Section 103-1(d) is added to clearly authorize the building official to withhold the issuance of a building
permit or a certificate of occupancy if other development authorizations are outstanding. In general,
the city should not release a building permit if site permits (stormwater, ROW, Tree & Landscaping) or
other regulatory permits from the MPCA or watershed have not been approved or work is incomplete.
103-4 Permits and Special Requirements for Moving Buildings
This section established a process and requirements for moving buildings into the City. While moving
buildings is uncommon, doing so can result in affordability, historic preservation, and sustainable reuse.
Two sub-sections of Chapter 103-4 create barriers to moving buildings in the City and are proposed to
be stricken. First, Section 103-4(f) restricts moving a building into or within the City based on the bulk,
architectural style, and quality of the building. Additionally, the building cannot be 10 years older or
newer than the buildings on surrounding properties. Because any building moved into or within the
City will need to meet current building code and other local requirements, and because such
restrictions are not placed on a newly constructed building on a redeveloped property, it is staff's
opinion the restrictions of this sub-section are not appropriate. State Building Code requires that
buildings which are relocated meet current code requirements.
Secondly, Section 104-4(g) requires a hearing at the Building Board of Review before a building can be
moved into or within the City. However, the Building Board of Review no longer exists, making such a
review impossible. Staff believes it is not appropriate to subject a relocated building to different
entitlement standards than one being constructed or assembled on site. Building code and other site
development standards must still be met when a building is relocated.
City Council Regular Meeting Executive Summary 2
City of Golden Valley
February 2, 2021
103-7—Swimming Pool Construction and Demolition
This section has been reviewed by the City's building inspectors, who recommend a number of
modifications to clarify and enhance permit application information, as well as construction and safety
requirements.
103-10 Completion of Exterior Work
Occasionally an exterior facing project will start and then stall for a significant period of time. These
projects become eyesores and result in neighborhood complaints. Additionally, building materials not
designed for long-term exposure to the elements can impact the integrity of the components and result
in problems for the current or future owner.
In the past few years several homes in Golden Valley have failed to complete exterior work within a
reasonable period of time. Reasons may include a lack of funding, conflicts with contractors, or simply
the pace a property owner is working at. The State Building Code states a permit expires if work has
been abandoned or suspended for more than 180 days (generally determined by the last inspection or
permit issue date), but this doesn't provide staff with a tool to help address the unfinished work.
Minnesota Statutes 32613.121. allow cities to adopt ordinances establishing timeframes for the
completion of exterior work:
Subd. 1a. Municipal ordinance;completion of exterior work.
A municipality may by ordinance adopt an official control that requires exterior work
authorized by a building permit issued in accordance with the State Building Code, to be
completed within a specified number of days following issuance of the building permit. The
local regulation may not require completion of exterior work earlier than 180 days following
the issuance of the permit.
The proposed ordinance establishes timeframes for the completion of different types of construction
(single-family, multi-family, commercial/industrial). It also allows the Building Official to grant an
extension of not more than 180 days or to vary from the timeframes established by the ordinance
based on factors identified in the ordinance. A number of cities, including Apple Valley and Coon
Rapids have adopted such ordinances. Violations can be addressed through a formal complaint process
or administrative citations. The Building Official is authorized to grant extensions.

Sec. 103-10. Completion of Exterior Work
u Findings. As allowed by Minnesota Statutes 32613.121. Subd. 1a.. the City Council finds that
the public safety, health, and welfare is impacted by exterior building projects that start.
but are not finished in a timely manner, that there is benefit to establishing definitive time
periods by which work should be completed so that both the City and the responsible party
have a mutual understanding of their rights and obligations that there should be
consequences when responsible parties either fail to meet work deadlines, or fail to
complete projects, and a mechanism to allow for abatement of nuisance conditions that
unfinished projects tend to create. At the same time. the Council recognizes that, owing to
weather and other unforeseen circumstances, it is important that any time frame scheme
for work completion include flexibility to recognize the unavoidable delays that might
occur. Accordingly. the Council finds that the-Building Official should be authorized to
require the following time frames for work completion, and should be authorized to
initiate a number of compliance and enforcement actions should a responsible party
violate those time frames, or otherwise fail to complete a project in a timely manner.
b)Scope. Exterior work authorized by a building permit issued in accordance with the
Minnesota State Building Code must be completed within the time frames stated in Section
103-10(c). or within the time frames set by the Building Official at the time of permit
issuance, whichever is longer.
c) Construction and Application. Exterior work authorized by a building permit issued in
accordance with the Minnesota State Building Code must be completed within the
specified number of days from the date of issuance of the building permit as follows:
1) Buildings or structures on single family residential property:
Roofs, siding, replacement doors and windows 180 days
Detached structures and sheds 180 days
New construction 365 days
Additions to prjmary home 365 days
Retaining walls and grading 180 days
(2) Buildings or structures on multifamily residential property:
Twin and quad home exterior work Same deadlines as single family
Buildings with more than four units 730 days
3) Buildings or structures on commercial or industrial property:
Building exterior work As determined by Building Official
Exterior structures other than primary 365 days
buildin
4) Notwithstanding the completion deadlines, a building permit expires 180 days from the
date of issuance if there is not substantial work completed under the permit as
provided in the Minnesota State Building Code. If no work has been completed under
the building permit as of its expiration date, the completion deadline for the work
under new permit shall be as set forth above.
d) Time Limitation. Upon a showing by the permit holder or property owner that there has
been an unavoidable delay in completion of the exterior work, the Building Official, at the
Official's discretion, may grant one extension for the completion of the exterior work for a
period of not more than 180 days,
(e) Violations.
(a) Failure to complete all exterior work authorized by a building permit within the
specified completion deadline or deadlines, including any extension, is a violation of
this Chapter. In such case. the Buildin& Official, in conjunction with the City Attorney,
is authorized to take one or more of the following actions:
a. Initiate a criminal action by citation or formal complaint. A violation of this
chapter is a misdemeanor.
b. Order work to cease.
c. Process the violation as a public nuisance abatement matter under City Code or
state law.
d. Process the violation or violations as an administrative offense and issue one or
more administrative citations under Section 1-9.—Administrative Citations.

f. Process the matter in any other way as allowed by statute or federal law.
Nothing herein shall restrict the right of the City to seek or pursue other remedies as
authorized by City Code. State law. or Federal law.
(b) For actions under Sec 103-10(e)(1)(d) the Building Official is authorized to vary from
the compliance timeframes therein as appropriate to the violation, based on factors
including, but not limited to:
a. The amount of time and extensions already allowed for completion:
b. The nature of the work involved and a normal timeframe to complete:
c. The visibility of the violation;.
d. Safety, health, and welfare impacts from the work not being completed.
fl Effective Date. This section applies to exterior work for which a building permit was issued
on or after the effective date of this Section. Exterior work for which a building permit was
issued prior to the effective date of this Section must be completed by March 1. 2022,
unless another deadline was set by the Building Official at or after the time of the issuance
of the permit. If Exterior work has been completed or is in progress without the issuance of

Section 8. City Code Chapter 103 is amended to add a new section 103-10 which
shall read as follows:
Sec. 103-10. Completion of Exterior Work
(a) Findings. As allowed by Minnesota Statutes 326B.121 . Subd. la., the City Council
finds that the public safety, health, and welfare is impacted by exterior building
projects that start, but are not finished in a timely manner, that there is benefit to
establishing definitive time periods by which work should be completed so that both
the City and the responsible party have a mutual understanding of their rights and
obligations, that there should be consequences when responsible parties either fail
to meet work deadlines, or fail to complete projects, and a mechanism to allow for
abatement of nuisance conditions that unfinished projects tend to create. At the
same time, the Council recognizes that, owing to weather and other unforeseen
circumstances, it is important that any time frame scheme for work completion
include flexibility to recognize the unavoidable delays that might occur. Accordingly,
the Council finds that the-Building Official should be authorized to require the
following time frames for work completion, and should be authorized to initiate a
number of compliance and enforcement actions should a responsible party violate
those time frames, or otherwise fail to complete a project in a timely manner.
(b) Scope. Exterior work authorized by a building permit issued in accordance with the
Minnesota State Building Code must be completed within the time frames stated in
Section 103-10(c), or within the time frames set by the Building Official at the time
of permit issuance, whichever is longer.
(c) Construction and Application. Exterior work authorized by a building permit issued
in accordance with the Minnesota State Building Code must be completed within
the specified number of days from the date of issuance of the building permit as
follows:
(1) Buildings or structures on single family residential property:
Roofs, siding, replacement doors and windows 180 days
Detached structures and sheds 180 days
New construction 365 days
Additions to primary home 365 days
Retaining walls and grading 180 days
(2) Buildings or structures on multifamily residential property:
Twin and quad home exterior work Same deadlines as single family
Buildings with more than four units 730 days
(3) Buildings or structures on commercial or industrial property:
Building exterior work As determined by Building
Official
Exterior structures other than primary 365 days
building
(4) Notwithstanding the completion deadlines, a building permit expires 180 days
from the date of issuance if there is not substantial work completed under the
permit as provided in the Minnesota State Building Code. If no work has been
completed under the building permit as of its expiration date, the completion
deadline for the work under new permit shall be as set forth above.
(d) Time Limitation. Upon a showing by the permit holder or property owner that there
has been an unavoidable delay in completion of the exterior work, the Building
Official, at the Official's discretion, may grant one extension for the completion of
the exterior work for a period of not more than 180 days.
(e) Violations.
(1) Failure to complete all exterior work authorized by a building permit within the
specified completion deadline or deadlines, including any extension, is a
violation of this Chapter. In such case, the Building Official, in conjunction with
the City Attorney, is authorized to take one or more of the following actions:
a. Initiate a criminal action by citation or formal complaint. A violation of this
chapter is a misdemeanor.
b. Order work to cease.
c. Process the violation as a public nuisance abatement matter under City
Code or state law.
d. Process the violation or violations as an administrative offense and issue
one or more administrative citations under Section 1-9. —Administrative
Citations.
e. Process the matter as a hazardous building under Minnesota Statutes.
f. Process the matter in any other way as allowed by statute or federal law.
Nothing herein shall restrict the right of the City to seek or pursue other
remedies as authorized by City Code, State law, or Federal law.
(2) For actions under Sec 103-10(e)(1)(d) the Building Official is authorized to
vary from the compliance timeframes therein as appropriate to the violation,
based on factors including, but not limited to:
a. The amount of time and extensions already allowed for completion;
b. The nature of the work involved and a normal timeframe to complete;
c. The visibility of the violation;
d. Safety, health, and welfare impacts from the work not being completed.
(f) Effective Date. This section applies to exterior work for which a building permit was
issued on or after the effective date of this Section. Exterior work for which a
building permit was issued prior to the effective date of this Section must be
completed by March 1 , 2022, unless another deadline was set by the Building
Official at or after the time of the issuance of the permit. If Exterior work has been
completed or is in progress without the issuance of a building permit, the
completion deadline or deadlines do not apply. In such case, the Building Official is
authorized to determine a completion deadline.
Section 9. This ordinance shall take effect from and after its passage and publication
as required by law.
