UNAPPROVED MINUTES CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP & OPEN PODIUM
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 06, 2020 CITY CENTER
5:00 – 6:25 PM, HERITAGE ROOMS 6:30 – 7:00 PM, COUNCIL CHAMBER CITY COUNCIL: Mayor Ron Case, Council Members Brad Aho, Kathy Nelson, Mark
Freiberg, and PG Narayanan
CITY STAFF: City Manager Rick Getschow, Police Chief Greg Weber, Fire Chief Scott Gerber, Public Works Director Robert Ellis, Community Development Director Janet Jeremiah, Parks and Recreation Director Jay Lotthammer, Administrative Services/HR Director Alecia Rose,
Communications Manager Joyce Lorenz, City Attorney Maggie Neuville, and Recorder Katie
O’Connor
Workshop - Heritage Rooms I and II (5:30) I. SMOKE FREE MULTIFAMILY HOUSING (5:30-6:00)
Megan Yerks, community services coordinator, introduced Kassy Nystrom and Kara Skahen.
Nystrom is an urban planner working in public health with Hennepin County. Skahen is a
program director for Live Smoke Free with The Association for Nonsmokers - Minnesota.
Nystrom presented their timeline of involvement in Eden Prairie. Eden Prairie passed a
policy increasing the sales age of tobacco products to 21 in 2018. In 2019, they engaged the
residents with a Smoke-free Multi Unit Housing (SFMUH) survey. Four of the housings
locations have a smoking not permitted policy, and in three properties smoking is permitted.
The purpose of the survey was to gage whether or not there was interest in a citywide
ordinance for smoke-free spaces. Throughout this process, they worked closely with Staff.
The surveys were finished in 2020. The Association for Nonsmokers updates a regional
database regarding which multifamily properties do and do not have smoking policies. As of
2020, out of 40 Eden Prairie properties 55 percent have policies. Hennepin County believes
everyone has a right to healthy housing. According to the United States Surgeon General’s
report, there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.
Nystrom stated the survey delivery varied by property. There was one survey per household
with one week for completion. Signs were posted throughout the building as a reminder.
Incentives were provided for those who participated as well as property managers. There
were 526 surveys distributed to smoke-free units at four properties, and 181 were returned.
There were 313 surveys distributed to smoking permitted units at three properties, and 75
were returned. Smoking permitted property data showed older adults, minorities, and low-
wealth and resourced residents are the most vulnerable populations to chronic disease. Data
was collected on the percentage of those exposed to secondhand smoke (SHS) at home by
City Council Workshop Minutes October 6, 2020
Page 2 ethnicity. The black community is experiencing exposure to SHS at home at a higher rate,
13.8 percent. Seven percent of Black or African Americans are exposed to SHS, and 5.3
percent of American Indians or Alaska Natives are exposed to SHS. Data collected on the
percentage who report selected health status by SHS at home shows a higher percentage of
reporting poor or fair health, having hypertension, or being obese.
Skahen stated smoke-free housing has been a trend over the last decade with an increase in
properties with smoke-free policies. In regards to the survey, over 80 percent strongly or
somewhat support a smoke-free voluntary policy in all individual apartments within the
building. These numbers align closely with the state adult smoking rate of 14 percent. There
is also strong support for a citywide policy or ordinance prohibiting smoking from inside the
building. 87.5 percent of those surveyed in buildings with smoking not permitted support a
citywide policy or ordinance and 82 percent in buildings with smoking permitted. Many of
the property managers recognize the benefits of smoke-free housing policies such as cost-
benefits due to less damage and reduced risk of fire and increased health of staff and
residents. Data from 2010-2019 shows the number of fires per year in multi-family housing
and the dollar amount associated with the damage and loss. Although careless smoking
indoors is a hazard, cooking is the number one cause of fire in multi-family properties.
Skahen stated there are a number of options to consider. One of the recommendations to
consider is to incentivize SFMUH a voluntary policy adoption by adopting a municipal
resolution or declaration supporting smoke-free housing. The City of Richfield adopted a
resolution a few years ago supporting SFMUH. Another option, implemented by the City of
Duluth, is to require property owners to establish and disclose their smoking policy to
prospective renters and or buyers. Other options to consider are to establish SHS as a
nuisance, incentivize or require a SFMUH policy adoption through the City rental licensing
program or City funded development projects, or require all multi-unit housing (MUH)
properties to be smoke free. There are a number of communities in California who require all
MUH to be smoke free.
Aho inquired about who would be responsible for the implementation of a policy and the
enforcement. Rachel Callahan, from the Public Health Law Center, replied some landlords
implement policy by putting a clause in their lease and therefore enforcing it. In California,
some cities and counties do enforce the policy resulting in either a fine or a misdemeanor.
These policies also allow residents to take legal action when they’re subjected to SHS.
Aho stated he owns three apartment complexes, and they are smoke-free due to all the
reasons mentioned and the property damage associated. There isn’t a clear way for landlords
to enforce these policies other than to charge a fee for damage when they move out. He also
believes the City and County should not be dictating to landlords what policies to put in
place. Law enforcement should not be tasked with enforcing these policies as they have are
occupied with so many other tasks.
City Council Workshop Minutes October 6, 2020
Page 3
Case inquired if the League of Minnesota Cities has data on practices and policies from
various cities. Skahen responded there are currently no other cities or counties in Minnesota
with an ordinance. Case inquired about the steps the City of Richfield took. Skahen
responded Richfield passed a resolution stating they support smoke-free housing efforts.
Narayanan inquired if the City receives many calls about smoking complaints. Weber replied
more often there are complaints of the smell of marijuana in a building rather than tobacco.
In some cases there are calls from single-family properties about smoke smell through their
windows. Yerks added the survey results include a comments section, and some of those
comments reflect interactions between neighbors who smoke versus those who do not.
Case noted the City has been a leader through the years in combatting smoking, more
specifically as one of the first cities to ban smoking in parks. The Council will check in with
Staff about the next steps they would like to take.
II. ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS (6:00-6:30)
Getschow stated earlier this year two residents brought forward the St. Louis Park ordinance
for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) and asked if Staff, the Planning Commission,
and Council could look into a way to encourage or legislate more EVCS. Novak-Krebs stated
in February through June Staff did research on how other communities are handling EVCS.
In July the Planning Commission discussed EVCS. August through September Staff
conducted outreach to multifamily property owners and managers.
Novak-Krebs provided a summary of the St. Louis Park EVCS ordinance, adopted in April
2019. Their ordinance came to fruition from their Climate Action Plan after a year of
discussion. Their ordinance refers to level one EVCS taking about eight hours for a complete
charge, level two EVCS taking two hours for a complete charge, and DC EVCS taking about
20 minutes for a full charge and considered rapid charging. Their requirements are outlined
by the number of spaces in a lot. Lots with 14 or fewer spaces are not required to have
EVCS. Lots with 15 to 49 spaces in a non-residential area are required to have one level two
EVCS. Multifamily is required to have five percent of the required parking as level one
EVCS. Lots with 50 or more spaces in a non-residential area are required to have at least one
percent of required parking be level two EVCS. Multifamily of this size are required to have
ten percent of the required parking be level one EVCS plus one level two station for guest
parking.
Narayanan inquired if this also applies to businesses. Novak-Krebs responded yes. The
requirement is based on either non-residential or multifamily residential properties.
City Council Workshop Minutes October 6, 2020
Page 4 Novak-Krebs stated, in addition, lots are required to install wiring with electrical capacity for
future EVCS for at least 10 percent of the required parking stalls. The City of St. Louis Park
allows the developer to request a reduction in EVCS if the installation of the EVCS costs
more than five percent of the total project cost. In conversations with the City Attorney and
based on current legal standings and State Building Code, the City could require EVCS on
surface parking lots and in multifamily development. The City cannot require it in single
family development at this time. There have been a few developers who have volunteered to
install EVCS such as Eden Ridge and Villas at Smith Village. Neuville added it cannot be
required within a structure due to State Building Code.
Case inquired if Council could continue to ask to developers to install or wire for future
EVCS. Neuville replied yes. Those development agreements stated the installation was
voluntary and is not enforceable. Getschow noted EVCS cannot be required in City Code.
Aho noted the added feature will make properties more desirable. Often the more regulation
and requirements, the higher the cost of the development and therefore less affordability.
Narayanan inquired if there are any State of Federal grants to assist developers or cities with
installing EVCS. Scot Adams stated he is aware of one company that sets aside money for
EVCS, but he is not certain if those funds are available to cities. Nelson added wiring for
EVCS is fairly low cost to add to a development and would likely not increase overall sale
price. Aho noted for a lower level voltage outlet it would not be costly, but it depends on the
level of EVCS.
Novak-Krebs stated in July the City Planner had discussions with the Planning Commission
around EVCS and overall there was support. They discussed incentivizing or making EVCS
a requirement. Incentivizing EVCS was more broadly supported, but there was interest in the
City leading the requirement of EVCS depending on the scale and type of development.
Locations such as residences, offices, and maybe the mall or large retail would be the best
locations due to the amount of time spent on site. The Commission was interested in seeing if
the City could pursue partnerships with car companies to install EVCS in public areas. There
was consensus to wait for Building Code to be updated before the City adopts an ordinance.
It was also suggested it could be beneficial to reach out to multifamily property owners and
managers about usage and demand. A survey was sent to 26 multifamily property owners and
the City received 11 responses. Elevate has two EVCS available for free to guests and
residents. Other properties report residents have requested EVCS and there are residents who
own electric vehicles. Three properties have other locations with EVCS with little or
unknown use and demand. Through the planned unit development (PUD) process, the City
has been successful in discussions around EVCS for multifamily and other properties. There
are many multifamily properties with one or more EVCS in the City.
Case inquired if the EVCS at these sites are free. Novak-Krebs stated she is not certain if
they are all free, but some of the EVCS are in underground parking structures and are only
City Council Workshop Minutes October 6, 2020
Page 5 for residents. Aho noted the Southview EVCS is not metered, similar to many in the City.
Case added he believes Tesla EVCS are free nationwide. Aho added it depends on the type of
vehicle, the year it was purchased, and there may be some other limiting factors. Lotthammer
added the EVCS at the Community Center is fee-based and scaled in hopes to deter people
from parking there for long periods of time.
Schmieg stated Leviton has a network charging system for public applications. They charge
by kilowatts and time of day. There are also mobile applications where EVCS can be
scheduled and reserved. Aho added the application can also accept payment to secure an
EVCS time slot. Schmieg added the listed price for the EVCS unit is only $2,300, but the
unit would need to be wired to internet.
Case inquired what the next steps may be. Getschow responded there is some clarity on
single family housing, and there has been discussion on EVCS for every project coming
before the Planning Commission and Council. Aho stated he favors what the City has been
doing rather than requiring it. There has been success with builders and property owners
volunteering to include EVCS.
Narayanan referred to the 2050 Climate Action Plan and to consider the strategies necessary
to reach the City’s goals. Case added he believes market forces will likely further these
initiatives. He would be in favor of some requirements for developers as there does not seem
to be a lot of resistance. Aho noted he believes it is beneficial to encourage it as there will
likely already be the demand for it.
Case stated the City should be operating based on what role we should play in the next five
years. Freiberg noted it is cheap to do the rough-in for EVCS. The developers are already
motivated to add these features without the requirement from the City. Nelson stated she
agrees the City should do what they can to promote EVCS. Narayanan stated those who rent
do not have the ability to add these features. Case added he would like to get a greater
understanding of the science and technology and listen to the experts on the outlook of the
next 10 years. Adams added it would be beneficial to have a specific ask for developers. He
is willing to reach out to experts to assist with more information.

put together in response to discussions which arose during the 2018 local election campaign. Getschow explained the City Council Members appointed several residents to the
Housing Task Force in the spring of 2019. After the formation of the Task Force in
June of 2019, the diverse members of the Task Force were introduced to the City’s programs, policies, and planning in regard to affordable housing and explored a host of potential new strategies to address the City’s housing goals and needs. The Task Force is here tonight to present their report.
Joan Howe-Pullis, Chair of the Housing Task Force, reviewed the report and explained the Task Force was inspired in their discussion and review by the housing section included in the City’s ASPIRE 2040 plan. She said sections of the report will be presented by the members of the Task Force.
1. Inclusionary Housing Policy Ms Howe-Pullis reviewed the recommendations regarding an Inclusionary Housing Policy: the adoption and enforcement of an Eden Prairie Inclusionary Housing
Policy; the encouragement of multifamily developments to be comprised of 100
percent affordable housing units; landlords to be required to accept tenant-based assistance (including Housing Choice/Section 8 vouchers and Elderly Waivers) for affordable housing created pursuant to Eden Prairie’s Inclusionary Housing Policy; and developers to provide and follow Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plans for
developments to which the Inclusionary Housing Policy applies.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 15, 2020
Page 3 Nelson asked what would be considered a 60% Average Median Income (AMI) in Eden Prairie. Ms Howe-Pullis stated the Task Force understood the AMI in Eden
Prairie to be $100,000, so 60% AMI would be about $60,000.
Case expressed his desire to know more about mandates for both Section 8 vouchers and elderly waivers, including which cities in the metropolitan area or in the U.S. are mandating those. He noted Section 8 vouchers are actual money
coming in, whereas the elderly waiver is not a cash payment.
2. Housing Opportunities in Proximity to New Public Transit (SWLRT) Task Force member Terry Farley presented the recommendation regarding housing
opportunities in proximity to new public transit. She stated the goal would be to
prioritize housing around public transit with convenient access to basic services including places of employment, shopping, restaurants, services and parks. 3. Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Ms Farley continued her presentation by describing the recommendation for the creation of an Affordable Housing Trust Fund with the documentation to be general and flexible, allowing for the development and refinement of the goals and processes related to the Fund over time. She noted it is important the contributions
to the Trust Fund be tax deductible. The Task Force recommends a potential
partnership with the Eden Prairie Community Foundation to help administer and control the Trust Fund. Funds could be used for large projects or to meet small, emergency needs in the community. The City would determine guidelines and allocate Trust funds while leveraging the infrastructure of entities such as Habitat
for Humanity.
4. Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Anne Peacock, Housing Task Force member, presented the Task Force’s recommendations to address aging housing stock to preserve and prevent the
decline of naturally occurring affordable housing. She explained the recommendations to identify and document the inventory of potential multifamily NOAH properties in Eden Prairie in anticipation of reaching out to multifamily owners to discuss possible opportunities and gain a sense of owner intent. She also addressed the recommendations to develop partnerships and processes with non-
profits that work with Twin Cities NOAH developments and to consider the identification of single family homes which are affordable by virtue of price and condition. 5. Recommendations for Senior Housing
Task Force member Joan Palmquist reviewed the recommendation to address the goal to promote senior housing opportunities that increase housing choices and
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 15, 2020
Page 4 enable seniors who choose to downsize their homes to age in the community. The recommendations included: to create and distribute a listing of resources for seniors
to use for assistance in maintaining and converting their properties to senior friendly
spaces in order to help seniors age in place; to work with PROP or another local non-profit to test the feasibility of creating a Home Share program for seniors; and to explore a partnership with Habitat for Humanity to participate in the Age Well at Home program.
6. Tenant Protection Ordinance and Practices Kenneth Robinson, Task Force member, addressed the recommendation to incentivize attainable and affordable housing options for lower-income households so they can move to and remain in Eden Prairie. He explained their
recommendations to adopt a Tenant Protection Ordinance (TPO) which is triggered by the sale of a multifamily rental property; to require landlords in Eden Prairie to provide each tenant a written notice of Tenant Rights at the time a lease or lease extension is signed; to encourage the City to investigate and, if possible, leverage any inspections of rental housing performed by HUD and Minnesota Housing; and
to incorporate inspections with very short notice into an inspection process. Nelson observed we already have an inspection system in place that occurs every four years as well as response to complaints. She wanted to keep that system in place as we explore other options.
7. Other Strategies to Consider Task Force member Emily Seiple reviewed additional strategies to work in partnership with the private and public sector to help envision and finance
innovative housing demonstration projects and housing development. Among the strategies recommended for consideration were to investigate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Home Share programs, micro homes, land leases and land trusts, single room occupancy housing, units supporting large families and zoning changes.
8. Communication Strategies Ms Seiple continued her report with the Task Force’s strong recommendation the City develop and implement a communications strategy associated with affordable
housing in order to create buy-in from the community. The Task Force recognized
the need to educate our community regarding the nature and benefit of housing that allows for a diversity of population, whether by age, cultural, economic or professional diversity. She noted the Task Force also recommended the use of mediation services to promote a stable renter community, execution of long-term
successful affordable housing projects, and the reduction of objections from those
who have unpleasant perceptions of affordable housing. 9. Next Steps
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 15, 2020
Page 5 Ms Howe-Pullis wrapped up the presentation by outlining the recommendations for the next steps, including acceptance of the report and all the recommendations
included and convening a new or continued subset of the Task Force to assist City
staff as the recommendations are discussed further. In addition, the Task Force requested a follow-up meeting or communications with the Mayor and the City Council to be informed of the Council’s decisions, including the next steps to be taken.
Ms Howe-Pullis thanked the Council and staff for their help during the work of the Task Force. Case believed this to be a really big deal in light of what is happening this year in
the entire country. He assured the Task Force the results presented tonight will get
serious consideration, and many of the recommendations will be enacted. He stated the Task Force met and far exceeded his expectations. He especially liked the recommendation regarding inclusionary housing, the Housing Trust Fund, partnerships with non-profits, the NOAH recommendations, partnership with
Habitat for Humanity, parts of the Tenant Protection recommendation, and the
ADUs. He agreed the Task Force will be included as part of the City Council’s final recommendations. Nelson was impressed by several recommendations she had not thought of. The
City needs to consider these ideas and put them in place, and we now have a
starting place for that. She sees the City being able to implement most of the recommendations over a period of time. Freiberg thanked the Task Force for their hard work. He commented he sat in on a
number of their meetings and encouraged them to think beyond the box. The Task
Force put together a very good presentation, and they did think beyond the box. Narayanan thought the job done by the Task Force was amazing. He commended them for summarizing the very complex information into simple recommendations.
He related his experience with home sharing when he first came to the United
States. Aho appreciated the Task Force’s time and efforts. Their recommendations will definitely impact the decision-making process.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Nelson, to accept the Housing Task Force’s written report that contains the Task Force’s housing recommendations to the City Council. Motion carried 5-0. VIII. CONSENT CALENDAR

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Adopt a Resolution authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the Hennepin County Residential Recycling Grant Agreement
ITEM NO.: VIII.E.
Requested Action Move to: Adopt a Resolution authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the Hennepin County Residential Recycling Grant Agreement Synopsis
In lieu of adopting a new long-term Residential Recycling Funding Policy, Hennepin County has opted to extend the 2017-2020 Residential Recycling Funding Policy through December 31, 2021 in order to further evaluate any potential changes to the structure of the program.
Background Information
Hennepin County receives annual funding from the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) fund and distributes 100% of this money to cities in accordance with the County’s
funding policy. Grants are awarded based on the number of households with curbside recycling service and the number of households signed up for and receiving curbside organics recycling. The City’s recycling program must meet several basic requirements to receive funding including: standard materials accepted, partnership on education and outreach (including annual recycling mailer), reporting, and program performance. As Eden Prairie has an open hauling system, some of the funds are distributed to residential customers who are able to recycle curbside. Remaining funds are used for the summer drop off
event, education materials and programs, and administration of the recycling and solid waste program.
Hennepin County has been shifting a portion of the total SCORE funding available to cities to support and incentivize organics recycling. In 2021, 50% of total funding will be dedicated to support of organics recycling in communities that have organics service. This is the same level as in 2020. In 2020 Eden Prairie received $98,138.53 in recycling grant funding.

Hennepin County Residential
Recycling Funding Policy
January 1, 2017 – December 31, 2021
Board Adopted: June 2, 2020
1
I. Policy Description
A. Background
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has determined that curbside collection of recyclables and organics from Hennepin County residents is an effective strategy to reduce reliance on landfills, prevent pollution, conserve natural resources and energy, improve public health, support the economy, and reduce greenhouse gases. Therefore, the county adopted the goals established in State Statute and by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in its Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Policy Plan and developed a Residential Recycling Funding Policy to help reach a 75% recycling rate by 2030.
The county will distribute all Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment (SCORE) funds received from the state to cities for curbside collection of residential recyclables and organics. If cities form a joint powers organization responsible for managing a comprehensive recycling and waste education system for the residents of those cities, the county will distribute recycling and organics grants to that organization. Cities are expected to fulfill the conditions of the policy.
B. Term of the Policy
Hennepin County is committed to implement this policy and continue distributing all SCORE funds received from the state for the purpose of funding curbside residential recycling and organics programs from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2020. The county may revise this policy if it determines changes are needed to assure compliance with state law and MPCA goals established for metropolitan counties. In the event that SCORE funds are eliminated from the state budget or significantly reduced, the county will consult with municipalities at that time and develop a subsequent recommendation to the board on continuation of this policy and future funding of curbside recycling and organics programs.
C. Grant Agreements
Each municipality seeking funding under the terms of the Residential Recycling Funding Policy must enter into a recycling grant agreement with the county for a term concurrent with the expiration of this policy, December 31, 2020. The grant agreement must be accompanied by a resolution authorizing the city to enter into such an agreement.
D. Fund Distribution
The county will distribute to Hennepin County municipalities 100% of SCORE funds that the county receives from the state. SCORE funds will be dedicated to two different purposes: 1)
2
curbside recycling and 2) curbside organics recycling. SCORE funds are based on revenue received by the State of Minnesota from the solid waste management (SWM) tax on garbage services. SCORE funds are subject to change based on the SWM tax revenue received by the state and funds allocated by the legislature. Funds distributed to municipalities for the current calendar year will be based on SCORE funds received by the county in the state’s corresponding fiscal year. II. Recycling
A. Allocation of Funds
The following formula will be utilized to determine a city’s recycling SCORE grant each year. Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside recycling:
2017 80%
2018 70%
2019 60%
2020 50%
2021 50%
City recycling grant calculation:
Number of households with curbside recycling in city -------------------------------
Total number of households with curbside recycling in county
x
Total SCORE Funds available for recycling
=
Recycling grant amount available to the city
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential buildings or other residential buildings where each housing unit sets out its own recycling container for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on January 1 of each funding year. The city will report the number in its application for funding.
B. Application for Funding
Each municipality must complete an annual grant application by February 15 to receive funding for that year. The application consists of a web-based report and a planning document provided
3
by the county. The web-based report asks for contract, program, tonnage, and financial information. The participation rate for the curbside recycling program must also be included in the web-based report. The municipality must calculate its participation rate during the month of October. The methodology for measuring participation must be provided to the county upon request. The planning document asks for a description of activities the city will implement to increase recycling and make progress toward county objectives.
C. Use of Funds
The following requirements apply to the use of recycling funds:
1. All grant funds accepted from the county must be used for waste reduction and recycling capital and operating expenses in the year granted. The county will not reimburse any funds in excess of actual expenses.
2. A municipality or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through property tax, utility fees, or any other method for the portion of its recycling program costs that are funded by county grant funds.
3. Municipalities must establish a separate accounting mechanism, such as a project number, activity number, or fund that will separate recycling revenues and expenditures from other municipal activities, including solid waste and yard waste activities.
4. Recycling and waste reduction activities, revenues, and expenditures are subject to audit.
5. Municipalities that do not contract for curbside recycling services will receive grant funds provided that at least 90% of the grant funds are credited back to residents and the city meets all minimum program requirements. The additional 10% may be used for waste reduction and recycling expenses. The county may waive this requirement if the city negotiates a recycling improvement plan with the county.
D. City Requirements
1. Materials Accepted
At a minimum, the following materials must be collected curbside:
• Metal food and beverage cans;
• Glass food and beverage containers;
• Cardboard boxes;
• Newspaper and inserts;
4
• Mail, office and school papers;
• Cereal, cracker, pasta, cake mix, shoe, gift, and electronics boxes;
• Boxes from toothpaste, medications and other toiletries;
• Magazines and catalogs;
• Aseptic and gable-topped containers; and
• Plastic bottles and containers, #1 – Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE), #2 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), #4 – Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and #5 – Polypropylene (PP) plastic bottles, except those that previously contained hazardous materials or motor oil. The county may add materials to this list and require municipalities to begin collection within one year of receiving notification from the county. Municipalities will notify the county if materials not found on this list will be collected.
2. Education and Outreach
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in educating residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership and increase these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with county and regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements:
a. Use county terminology when describing recycling guidelines, including the description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and promotional materials;
b. Use images provided by the county or the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board (SWMCB) if using images of recyclables;
c. Provide recycling information on the city’s website, including materials accepted and not accepted, a recycling calendar, and links to county resources;
d. Mail a recycling guide to residents each year using a template developed jointly with the county. The county will design and print the guide. If a municipality does not use the template produced by the county, the municipality may develop its own guide at the municipality’s expense, but it must be approved by the county. If the municipality relies on the hauler to provide the recycling guide, this guide requires approval by the county.
e. Complete two educational activities from a menu of options developed by the county.
5
Any print material that communicates residential recycling guidelines that were not provided by the county template will require county approval. This does not apply to waste reduction and reuse, articles on recycling that do not include guidelines, or social media posts. The county will respond within five business days to any communication piece submitted.
3. Recycling Performance On an annual basis, municipal recycling programs must demonstrate that a reasonable effort has been made to maintain and increase the pounds of recyclables per household collected from their residential recycling programs.
If a municipality does not demonstrate measurable progress, a recycling improvement plan must be submitted by the municipality within 90 days of being notified by the county. The recycling improvement plan must be negotiated with the county and specify the efforts that will be undertaken by the municipality to improve its recycling program to yield the results necessary to achieve county objectives.
In cooperation with the county, the municipality may be required to participate in waste and recycling sorts to identify recovery levels of various recyclables in its community. Based on the results of the study, the county and municipality will collaborate to increase the recovery of select recyclable materials being discarded in significant quantities.
E. Grant Payments
The county will make two equal payments to the municipality. One payment will be made after the county receives the application, which consists of the web-based report and the planning document. A second payment will be made after basic program requirements, education and outreach requirements, and recycling performance have been confirmed and approved. If the municipality meets the county requirements, both payments will be made during the same calendar year. Funding will be withheld until the municipality meets the requirements of this policy.
III. Organics Recycling
A. Allocation of Funds
The following formula will be utilized to determine a city’s organics recycling SCORE grant each year:
6
Percent of SCORE funds allocated to curbside organics recycling:
2017 20% 2018 30% 2019 40% 2020 50%
2021 50%
City organics recycling grant calculation: Number of households with curbside organics in city --------------------------------- Total number of households with curbside organics in county
x
Total SCORE funds available for
organics
=
Organics grant amount available
to the city
If the formula above results in cities receiving grants where the dollar amount per participating household is greater than $25 per year, then a cap will apply. The funding cap per participating household is $25 per year. The most the county will grant a city is $25 per participating household per year. If funds are left over because of the cap, those funds will carry over into the following year’s SCORE funds.
Eligible residential households are defined as single family through eight-plex residential buildings or other residential buildings where the household is signed up for organics service and the household sets out its own container with organics for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on September 1 of each funding year. The city will report the number in the application for funding.
B. Application for Funds
Each municipality must complete an annual application provided by the county by September 1 to receive funding. As a part of the application, a city must submit the number of households signed up for and receiving curbside organics service.
C. Use of Funds
The grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
• Discount to new customers
• Discount to existing customers
7
• Referral incentives
• City contract costs
• Education and outreach
• Compostable bags
• Kitchen containers
• Carts
• Organics drop-off sites
Program administration is not an eligible expense. Yard waste expenses are not eligible. If organics are co-collected with other waste, the organics expenses must be tracked separately. If a city passes funds through to a hauler, 100% of those funds must be credited to residents’ bills. In addition, the following requirements apply:
• All grant funds must be used during the term of the agreement. Funds not spent must be returned to the county.
• Funds must be expended on eligible activities per Minnesota State Statute 115A.557.
• A municipality or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through property tax, utility fees, or any other method for the portion of its organics program costs that are funded by county grant funds.
• Municipalities must account for organics expenditures separately upon request by the county. Expenditures are subject to audit.
D. Education and Outreach Requirements
The partnership between the county and municipalities has been highly effective in educating
residents and motivating behavior change. In order to continue this partnership and increase
these efforts, program activities of municipalities must be coordinated with county and regional efforts. The following requirements apply:
1. Use county terminology when describing organics recycling guidelines, including the description of materials accepted and not accepted, preparation guidelines, and promotional materials;
2. Use images provided by the county or the SWMCB if using images of organic materials;
3. Provide organics recycling information on the city’s website, including material accepted and not accepted, service options, and links to county resources;
4. Work with the county to develop promotional resources to increase participation.
8
E. Reporting
A report on the city’s organics program must be submitted electronically to the county by February 15 following each year. The report must include, but is not limited to, the following:
Basic Program Information
• Hauler(s)
• Collection method
• Where organics were delivered to and processed
• Is service opt-in or opt-out
• Cost of service to residents; contract cost for city
• How the service was billed
• Items included in service, such as curbside collection, cart, compostable bags, etc. Results
• Tons
• Number of households signed up
• Average pounds per household per year
• Participation (set-out rate on pickup day)
• Program costs
• How funds were used
F. Grant Payment
The county will make one organics grant payment to a municipality each year. The payment will be made after the county receives the application and confirms that the municipality meets the requirements of this policy.

2021 Vehicle & Equipment Replacement Fund Schedule
ITEM NO.: VIII.G.
Requested Action Move to: Approve contingent upon 2021 budget approvals, the 2021 purchase of replacement vehicles and equipment as itemized on the attached Schedules and approve the early ordering of three
(3) Dodge Charger squad cars.
Synopsis The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed by Fleet Services to provide a 15-year projection
of equipment needs and a corresponding replacement schedule for each vehicle. Annual budget requests are created from this schedule to determine the spending amount that is included for approval in the operating budget. Staff has finalized the details of each replacement/purchase, including testing the vehicles against our replacement policy guidelines. The final list is attached and submitted for approval. The planned Fleet Capital Internal Service Fund purchase expenditures for
2021 are $636,040.00. The planned Utilities Enterprise Fund purchase expenditures for 2021 are $129,000.00. Staff is also requesting authorization to order the three (3) Dodge Charger squad cars at this time. Over the past year, Dodge Charger squad cars have been in high demand and ordering our 2021
Dodge Charges now will give us the best chance of actually getting these cars in 2021. The City of Eden Prairie participates in the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV). This enables the City to buy vehicles and equipment under the terms of contracts already negotiated by
the State of Minnesota. Joint Powers Agreements as listed in the City of Eden Prairie purchasing policy are also utilized. Attachment

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Authorize Purchase of a Fully-Electric Vehicle
ITEM NO.: VIII.I.
Requested Action Move to: Approve the purchase of a new Tesla Model-Y Long Range AWD model vehicle for a cost
of $52,290.00 and authorize the negotiation and execution by the Mayor and City Manager
of a Purchase Agreement for the vehicle Synopsis As part of the City’s sustainability program, and in support of the proposed Climate Action Plan, the Fleet
Services Division has been working with the Police Department to pilot test a fully electric squad car in the patrol fleet. Fully-electric vehicles have a higher initial purchase cost as compared to internal combustion engine models but they also have much lower life cycle operating costs due to the elimination of gasoline consumption and having fewer mechanical parts for repair and maintenance. It is estimated that the initial
purchase cost plus the lifetime fuel and maintenance costs will be similar for the fully-electric and gasoline
engine models. However, the fully-electric model will have the added benefit of producing far less greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the needs of the officer a patrol car must have a high performing drive train that is capable of pursuit
as well as the capacity to hold passengers in the rear seats. A patrol car also needs to have a robust electrical
system to support the many added devices and systems used in a squad car. Finally, a patrol car needs to have adequate range to function through an entire shift. After researching all available models and examining performance and costs, staff determined that a Tesla Model-Y is the only model that meets all of the Police Department’s needs and is the appropriate vehicle for this pilot program. Because no other
manufacturer offers a fully electric vehicle that meets the City’s specifications, it was not possible to obtain
multiple quotes. Fleet Services will purchase the new Model-Y directly through a Tesla Business Account. Fleet Services is requesting authority to purchase the new Model-Y for $52,290.00. Tesla also requires the City to sign a
Purchase Agreement before it will process the order. Upon Council’s approval of the purchase, staff will
work with the City Attorney to negotiate the terms of that Purchase Agreement so they are reasonably consistent with the City’s standard purchasing contracts. Fleet Services is also requesting that the Council authorize the exeuction of the Purchase Agreement by the Mayor and City Manager once the terms are finalized. As with any squad car, the City will incur additional expenses for emergency lighting, push
bumper and interior accessories but these expenses should be in line with the same expenses incurred with our standard squad car setup. Background Information
In mid-2019, Fleet Services Division began discussions with the Police Department on the possibility of configuring an all-electric patrol car for daily use by the Patrol Division. A group was formed to research the feasibility of doing a test project and they recently determined that the most appropriate vehicle to
support this effort would be the new Tesla Model-Y.
Once purchased, this Tesla Model-Y will be up-fitted with all of the same equipment that our regular squad cars have and will be assigned to patrol duty. We anticipate operating this vehicle for at least 100,000 miles of general patrol use. During that time we will continually evaluate the overall performance as compared to a regular patrol cars. We anticipate that the all-electric option will perform equitably as compared to our
regular patrol cars and that the test results will lead to similar innovations for the future.

Accept Proposals and Award Contract for Treatment of Ash Trees to Rainbow Treecare
ITEM NO.:
VIII.J.
Motion
Move to: Accept the proposals and authorize entering into a contract with Rainbow Treecare for the Treatment of Ash Trees on City Property over the next three years at a cost not to exceed $57,820.80. Synopsis As part of the ongoing EAB Management Plan, staff is proposing to continue to chemically treat
approximately 1000 ash trees located on City property. In 2018, Council approved a contract with Rainbow Treecare to begin treating ash trees. The proposed ash trees were treated over a three-year treatment period, with approximately 1/3 being treated every year. Studies have shown that trees must be treated at a minimum of every three years to be effective in the control of
EAB. This contract would continue the chemical applications for an additional three years.
Background Staff has been closely monitoring the spread of emerald ash borer since it was first discovered in St. Paul in 2009. With the discovery of EAB in Eden Prairie, staff took a closer look at our management strategies and how this pest may affect the City. By using a strategic management
plan of both treatment and removal, the City can spread the cost, environmental impacts, and
liabilities associated with EAB over a longer period of time. The goal of the City’s management plan is to protect large, high quality, well placed ash trees through chemical treatment while removing smaller and lesser quality trees and replacing them with a more diverse urban forest. Staff solicited bids from three contractors and received quotes from two, Rainbow Treecare and
Davey Tree.

Renewal certificates shall be provided to City prior to the expiration date of any of
the required policies. City will not be obligated, however, to review such Certificate

necessary to afford the same protection as would have been provided by the specified insurance. Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to
a claim which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to
the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then
the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with
that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run. If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require
Contractor to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing performance of the indemnity obligation; or ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from the City. 10. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs
and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any
loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or employees.
Standard Agreement for Contract Services 2017 06 01.01

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Extend Agreement with Native Resource Preservation, LLC for Native Conversion Site Maintenance
ITEM NO.:
VIII.K.
Requested Action Move to: Extend the Agreement with Native Resources Preservation, LLC for the maintenance of the native plant conversion areas through November 2021.
Synopsis For the past 6 years, the City has worked with contractors to convert areas of City property to native planting areas that had previously been maintained as mowed turf. We have also included new native planting areas into many of our recent park improvement projects. In May of this year, the City
entered into an agreement for the maintenance of many of these areas with NRP. The term of this
agreement was for one year with the option to extend the agreement if both parties agree. Background
As part of the Sustainable Eden Prairie initiative, City staff has continued to identify areas of City
property that are being maintained as mowed turf that could be converted to native prairie planting areas. These areas primarily serve little purpose as mowed turf or are in locations that can easily be used as education plots for native plantings. Because these types of conversions can be labor intensive for multiple years and take some time to mature, the City will in most cases enter into a
contract to maintain the area for the first three years after the initial conversion to ensure the project
is successful. After that initial planting or three year contract, staff is able to conduct some of the maintenance tasks required to maintain these areas, while other tasks are handle more efficiently by a contractor. Multiple contracts for conversion sites that were planted in 2017 and 2018 will expire at the end of 2021, and so staff is requesting to extend the maintenance contract with NRP for one
year to then align with the contract term of these sites. Staff will then be able to reevaluate the
condition and maintenance needs for many of our native planting sites at one time to determine our needs moving forward. Attachments

CAUTION: No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection, signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the City Clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Clerk within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk. For your further information, please note the following: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 435.193 through 435.195, which establishes a hardship assessment deferral for seniors or retired disabled, the procedure to obtain a deferred assessment and sets forth the events upon which the option to defer payment terminates and all amounts accumulated plus interest become due. Pursuant to these statutes, the City may defer the payment of special assessments for homestead property of persons 65 years of age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments, who meet certain standards relating to eligibility. A deferment procedure is authorized by City Code Section 2.84 and has been established by City Resolution 83-177. The principal amount of special assessments deferred for such persons will bear interest, but not exceeding 50% of the original principal amount of the assessment. Payment of
the interest will also be deferred and will be added to the principal amount of the deferred assessment. Any person who wishes to receive a deferment must make application to the City Engineer's office no later than November 10th of the year preceding the year in which an assessment is payable. Applications therefore may be
obtained from the City of Eden Prairie by contacting: Denise Christensen, Senior Engineering Technician

Requested Action
• Close the Public Hearing; and
• Approve the 1st reading of the Ordinance for Zoning District Change from Rural to
Industrial (I-Gen) on 1.09 acres and Public to Industrial (I-Gen) on 4.49 acres
• Adopt a Resolution for a Preliminary Plat of 5 parcels into one lot and one outlot on 13.21 acres
• Direct Staff to prepare a Development Agreement incorporating Staff and Commission
recommendations and Council conditions
Synopsis The applicant is proposing to update the asphalt plant equipment and pollution control equipment
and to relocate the plant and processing/stockpile areas within the site. These site improvements are intended to increase safety and efficiencies of the operation and improve circulation and stormwater management. The applicant is requesting approval of rezoning of property to bring the entire subject site into the same zoning district. Also requested is preliminary plat approval to combine 5 parcels into 1 lot and an outlot. The site plan includes the improvements and
relocation noted above, as well as, the construction of accessory buildings to support the operations of the site. Background The subject properties are guided in Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 for Industrial development. The majority of the property is currently zoned Industrial (I-Gen); however, the applicant is requesting the rezoning of two parcels so the entire property has consistent zoning. The 4.49 acre parcel that Tiller acquired from Hennepin County is currently zoned Public based on its prior ownership. Rezoning of that property from Public to Industrial (I-Gen) is consistent with the
adopted Comprehensive Plan. The 1.09 acre property that is currently zoned Rural is also requested to be rezoned to Industrial (I-Gen). This rezoning request is also consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The platting of the property combines properties into a single lot and outlot. The plat also
provides right of way to construct a termination of the Industrial Drive cul-de-sac. The outlot includes the wetland area which will be required to provide restoration of areas without vegetation, management of invasive species, and maintenance of the wetlands and wetland buffers on the property. All of the proposed buildings meet the required setback and building
material standards of City Code. Landscaping requirements for the site are also proposed to
meet and exceed Code requirements.
The applicant is proposing to include several sustainability measures as part of the improvements.
• Energy: Replacing the existing asphalt plant equipment is expected to reduce energy
use by 16 to 22%.
• Landscape: The Landscape Plan includes native plant and pollinator species.
• Waste: Recycling and reuse of concrete and asphalt saves landfill capacity and reduces
raw materials used in construction industries.
• Water: Stormwater management will be improved by adding several sedimentation basins and stormwater management features for collection and on-site treatment of stormwater runoff. Collection and reuse of stormwater for dust control will be
incorporated into site management. Wetlands and wetland buffers will be placed into an
outlot and protected by a conservation easement. Planning Commission Recommendation

STAFF REPORT
TO: Planning Commission FROM: Julie Klima, City Planner
DATE: October 12, 2020
SUBJECT: Tiller Corporation Plant 912
LOCATION: 6401 Industrial Drive
APPLICANT: Tiller Corporation
OWNERS: Tiller Corporation
120 DAY REVIEW: December 29, 2020
REQUEST: 1. Rezoning from Rural to General Industrial (I-GEN) on 1.09 acres 2. Rezoning from Public to General Industrial (I-GEN) on 4.49 acres

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The subject properties are guided in Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 for Industrial development. The
majority of the property is currently zoned Industrial (I-Gen); however, the applicant is requesting
the rezoning of two parcels so the entire property has consistent zoning. The 4.49 acre parcel that Tiller acquired from Hennepin County is currently zoned Public based on its prior ownership. Rezoning of that property from Public to Industrial (I-Gen) is consistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan. The 1.09 acre property that is currently zoned Rural is also requested to be
rezoned to Industrial (I-Gen). This rezoning request is also consistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan.
PRELIMINARY PLAT The subject area includes 5 parcels. The proponent is requesting to plat all 5 parcels into one lot and
an outlot. The outlot includes the wetland and wetland buffer area along Indian Chief Road and will
remain in the ownership of the proponent. Combining these five properties into a single lot provides
for more efficient use of the site when designing site layout and applying setback requirements from
property lines. Platting of the property also includes the dedication of right of way for Industrial Drive and Edenvale Boulevard for public street improvements, as well as perimeter easements and easements for public utilities.
SITE PLAN
The site currently includes one structure approximately 1,500 square feet in size which is the location of the plant control room, scale operations and quality control testing. The site also includes a 3 sided structure housing storage tanks and some electrical equipment. This 3 sided structure is
proposed to be removed. This structure will be replaced with a 24’ x 44’ building. This new building
will house the plant control room and the quality control testing areas. A 12’ x 14’ two story scale
building will also be constructed to house the scale operations and provide storage area. A 12’ x 24’
shelter for electrical equipment will also be constructed.
All of the proposed buildings meet the required setback and building material standards of City Code. Landscaping requirements for the site are also proposed to meet and exceed Code
requirements.

DRAINAGE & GRADING
The grading of the curb and gutter line around the southern edge of the cul de sac appears to be
directing runoff to the east. This would put it in conflict with the westerly flow of the runoff from
Industrial Drive. Cul de sac drainage would be improved by directing the drainage around the curb and gutter to the west to the catch basins on the north side of the intersection.
B618 curb on the northern edge of the cul de sac may be difficult to implement due to grading.
Surmountable or drop curb may be preferable.
UTILITIES The applicant is proposing to provide new sanitary and water services along with a hydrant for fire protection for the plant control building. As a result of proposed grading on the site, a portion
of the existing public watermain that runs through the property will need to be reconstructed.
Detailed construction plans (plan and profile) and specifications in conformance with Eden
Prairie standards will be required. The profile, details, and limits of the proposed watermain as
shown will need to be revised. Plans and specifications must address testing of the new watermain.
INDUSTRIAL DRIVE
The applicant is providing right of way for the termination of Industrial Drive in a cul-de-sac.
Detailed construction plans and specifications in conformance with Eden Prairie standards will be required. Complete reconstruction of the cul-de-sac is expected. The plans must address driveway access, grading and drainage as noted for Industrial Drive.
A commercial apron must be used for the entrance to the site utilizing Eden Prairie standards in
the City Guide Specifications.
WETLANDS
The Developer must provide a wetland plan to include items such as restoration of areas without
vegetation, management of invasive species, and maintenance of the wetlands and wetland
buffers on the property. Full restoration, including planting replacement trees and shrubs or
removing sediment accumulation within the larger wetland, will not be required. However, the
smaller wetland that is designated for use as a stilling basin must be cleaned out when construction and grading are complete.

SUSTAINABILITY
The applicant is proposing several sustainability measures as a part of the improvements.
• Energy: Replacing the existing asphalt plant equipment is expected to reduce energy use
by 16 to 22%.
• Landscape: The Landscape Plan includes native plant and pollinator species.
• Waste: Recycling and reuse of concrete and asphalt saves landfill capacity and reduces raw materials used in construction industries.
• Water: Stormwater management will be improved by adding several sedimentation
basins and stormwater management features for collection and on-site treatment of
stormwater runoff. Collection and reuse of stormwater for dust control will be
incorporated into site management. Wetlands and wetland buffers will be placed into an
outlot and protected by a conservation easement.

Mike Caron, owner of Tiller Corporation, presented a PowerPoint and detailed the
application. He introduced Christina Morrison, Land Use and Permitting Coordinator, and Kirsten Pauly engineer and geologist. Caron gave the background for this family-owned corporation and its three operating divisions, Barton & Gravel Company, Commercial Asphalt Company, and Barton
Enterprises. He explained Tiller Corporation was a supply only company.
He gave an overview of the history of Plant 912, which had been home to Asphalt Plant and Construction Aggregates since 1960. The main focus of the application was to improve storm water management, with plant and equipment updates also
being updated, along with increased safety features. He had approached City staff
in 2018. He displayed the existing facility and pointed out Industrial Boulevard and Indian Chief Road and the five different parcels, not all of which had access to existing
roads. He displayed and explained the existing plant layout. The proposed plant
layout would move the scale office next to the silos which stored the asphalt. The AC tanks would be to the left, and the MCC (motor control center) would be combined into one location. The mixer would be next to the MCC, with the recycle bins and coal feed bins next to the mixer. All five parcels would be
combined into one. The cul-de-sac would become a City right-of-way. He
explained the proposed traffic circulation. He explained the locations of the two storm water ponds to be built. The rezoning: currently, parcel A was zoned public, and parcel B was zoned rural.
The proposed zoning would make both parcels A and B zoned General Industrial.
He showed a complementary example of Tiller Corporation’s asphalt plant in Blaine which had a similar look to what was being proposed. Mette thanked the applicant for his presentation. She stated her concern was dust
and dirt from relocating the stockpiles and asked what dust control measures
would be taken. Caron replied the stockpile was a “verb,” not a noun, because stockpiles were constantly being rearranged, and the corporation was used to doing that. An air quality permit was required for the plant as well as for the stockpiles and recycling operations. There would always be a water truck on site
to keep particulates watered. Not all the roads were paved; paving would also
help, and the roads would be frequently swept. Toomey stated she lived nearby and asked about noise. Caron replied most noise from the drier would be kept inside the site. He did not expect many changes to
noise levels. Any change in noise would be expected to be a decrease due to improved efficiencies with the new equipment. He showed on the site plan where stockpiles were held. He explained the tree replacement plan included screening at that site, which would also help with noise. Pieper asked if the truck route would be kept the same, and Caron replied it would be substantially changed, as

the routing was quite random currently, and the corporation wished for more
consistency to improve safety and efficiency. Klima presented the staff report. Two parcels of land, one zoned public and the other zoned rural, were coming before the commission to be rezoned General
Industrial, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The five parcels would be
combined into one lot and an outlot (the wetland area with a conservation easement). The site plan approval request met the performance standards. This site has been in operation from the 1960s without any site plan approval in place. Staff recommended approval.
Farr asked if the cul-de-sac would be made a more symmetrical, conventional design from its current, offset, design and if staff approved of the nonconforming frontage. Klima replied there were no additional nonconformities created with the application; rather, conformity was improved. Rue replied there were title issues
with these parcels, so the design would actually clean up the cul-de-sac. Offset
cul-de-sacs were not unusual in Eden Prairie. There might have been some changes between the preliminary and final plat that made Farr see a nonconformity where there was not one in the actual application.
MOTION: Markos moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. Kirk stated it sounded like the zoning and replatting were more housekeeping issues in order to bring all of the land into a single zoned parcel and consistent
requirements. Klima agreed. Kirk added his understanding was the site plan was a
requirement whereas this property’s use predated it, and the intent was to make the site consistent with City ordinances and allow the City input as to where the equipment and buildings were located. Klima agreed and added the site’s operation pre-dated the City’s first ordinances. City Code requires a site plan
process for the construction of structures on a site that does not have an approved
site plan. Mette commended the addition of the cul-de-sac along with the streamlining of the parcels. Kirk also commended the plant to update equipment and the owner’s
investment in Eden Prairie.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Toomey to recommend approval of the Zoning District Change from Public to Industrial on 4.49 acres, the Zoning District Change from Rural to Industrial on 1.09 acres, the Site Plan Review on
13.21 acres, and the Preliminary Plat for approval on 13.21 acres based on plans stamp-dated October 7, 2020 and the staff report dated October 12, 2020. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. VII. MEMBERS’ REPORTS

ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Code Amendment – Towers and Antennas
ITEM NO.:
IX.C.
Requested Action Move to:
• Close the Public Hearing; and
• Approve 1st reading of an Ordinance amending City Code Chapter 6, Section 6.03
relating to Right-of-Way Permits and City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.06 relating to towers and antennas Synopsis
The proposed code changes are in response to the June 2020 Federal Communication Commission (FCC) declaratory ruling that further clarifies criteria within the Spectrum Act of 2012 related to altering existing wireless structures. The FCC ruling affects City Code Chapter 6.03 and City Code Chapter 11.06. No public hearing is required for the amendment to Chapter
6. City Code Chapter 11 amendment requires a public hearing.
The proposed code change for City Code Chapter 6, Section 6.03 adds a subsection related to permits in the public right of way.
The proposed code change for City Code, Section 11.06 adds Subdivision 14 that acknowledges
the June 2020 FCC declaratory ruling. As required the City is obliged to approve certain request on existing towers located on private property or in public right of way when the existing towers meet “eligible facilities request.” The declaratory ruling is not inconsistent with current City Code and administrative approval practice.
Background The FCC Act of 1996 established antennas and towers are a permitted use in all cities and may not be discriminated against by zoning districts established in cities. The Spectrum Act of 2012
established that local governments are required to approve certain requests to modify existing
wireless structures. Highlights of those eligible facilities include: Modifications that do not substantially change the physical dimensions of an existing tower or tower base; Increase tower height by 10% or maximum 20’ from the existing antenna; Increase ground base equipment supportive of the
tower improvements; Inclusion of a 60-day Shot Clock in application review process.
The Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to City Code, Chapter 11.06 at the September 28, 2020 meeting.

STAFF REPORT TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Steven Durham, Planner II
DATE: September 23, 2020
SUBJECT: Code Amendment - Antennas and Towers
BACKGROUND
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Act of 1996 established that antennas and towers are a permitted use in all cities and may not be discriminated against by zoning districts established
in cities. City Code Section 11.06 “Towers and Antennas” was established in code at that time. The
Spectrum Act of 2012 established that local governments are required to approve certain requests to
modify existing wireless structures. No code amendments were required with the Spectrum Act of
2012.
In June of 2020 the FCC approved a declaratory ruling to further clarify criteria within the Spectrum
Act of 2012 related to altering existing wireless structures. The stated purpose of the declaratory
ruling is to promote equitable telecommunication service to all communities in the United States
and streamline the review process within federal, state, county, and local jurisdiction. The ruling identifies and clarifies what qualifies as an “Eligible Facilities Request.”
Under the Spectrum Act of 2012 (“Act”), local governments are required to approve certain
requests to modify existing wireless structures, referred to as an “Eligible Facilities Request.”
An Eligible Facilities Request is any request for modification of an existing tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base
station, involving, 1) Collocation of new transmission equipment, 2) Removal of
transmission equipment, or 3) Replacement of transmission equipment.
CODE AMENDMENT: This code amendment will acknowledge the FCC declaratory ruling in
Section 11.06. Currently there are 13 Subdivision in Section 11.06 that regulate Tower and Antenna.
There will be no alterations to the existing 13 subdivisions. Subdivision 14 will be added and
providing acknowledgement of the 2020 FCC declaratory ruling. See proposed Subdivision 14
below:
Subd. 14. Spectrum Act Eligible Facilities Requests. No application to modify an existing wireless
structure that meets the definition of an “eligible facilities request” under Section 6409(a) of the
Spectrum Act, 47 U.S.C. § 1455 (the “Act”), shall be approved unless the requested action is in
accordance with the requirements of the Act and the regulations contained in 47 C.F.R. § 1.6100, all
as may be amended from time to time, and then only in accordance with the following:
A. An applicant shall submit such a request on the form provided by the City. The application form shall require that the applicant provide all information necessary for the City to
determine whether the request is an “eligible facilities request” under the Act. Further, the
applicant shall include with the application all information, documents, and fees required by
Staff Report – Code Amendment - Antennas and Towers

Subdivision 12 of this Section, a narrative description explaining how the request meets the
definition of an “eligible facilities request” under the Act, and such further information
deemed necessary by the City to determine whether the request is an “eligible facilities
request.”
B. An application for an “eligible facilities request” shall be approved or disapproved by the City Manager or his or her designee in accordance with Subdivision 11 of this Section.
C. “Eligible facilities requests” are not subject to the provisions of this Section 11.06 or any
other provisions of Chapter 11 that are contrary to the Act.
As required the City is required to approve certain request on existing towers located on private property or in public right of way when the existing towers meet “eligible facilities request.”
Highlights of those eligible facilities include:
• The modifications that do not substantially change the physical dimensions of a tower or
tower base.
• Increase tower height by 10% or maximum 20’ from the existing antenna.
• Increase ground base equipment supportive of the tower improvements.
• Inclusion of a 60-day Shot Clock from the time the application is received and approved by
the City.
The declaratory ruling is not inconsistent with current City Code and administrative approval practice. New Tower construction does not qualify and as an eligible facility.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the amendment to City Code, Chapter 11, Section 11.06 entitled Antenna and Towers as presented in the Planning Commission Staff report dated September 21,
2020.

VI. PLANNERS’ REPORT A. CODE AMENDMENT FOR GYMNASTICS Request for:
• Amend City Code Chapter 11 relating to gymnasiums Klima presented a PowerPoint and gave the background on this amendment. Prior to 1982, gymnasiums were not permitted uses in the Industrial Zoning District.
The City received a request to amend the Code to allow gymnasiums in this district. The City Council directed staff to prepare an amendment for review by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission recommended approval of
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 28, 2020
Page 2
the amendment, and the City Council approved an ordinance amendment
permitting gymnasiums in Industrial Zoning Districts. Gymnasiums were allowed to occupy 100 percent of a building’s square footage. Since then, certain issues have arisen: there was no definition of gymnasium, allowing for a broad interpretation. Fitness studios, gymnastics studios, swim schools, dance studios,
martial arts studios, et cetera, had been permitted in the Industrial Zoning
Districts, but their permitted use also in the Commercial Zoning Districts has caused inconsistencies. Also, changes in the uses of industrial buildings are driven by the economy and market trends.
Klima explained this amendment was meant to clean up the Code and allow for
equitable treatment among similar uses by providing a definition and setting use standards. The proposed amendment would allow gymnasium uses up to 50 percent of the total floor area of a building. Staff recommended approval.
Mette asked for and received confirmation that with these changes the Tags
Building would remain a conforming use. Kirk asked for and received confirmation that unless the application pursued a PUD the building would be limited to 50 percent gymnasium use. Kirk stated the logic of the 50 percent limit was to preserve opportunities for manufacturing jobs in the Golden Triangle, and
Klima agreed. With the addition of the LRT line and other changes in the area, a
new mix of uses was arising and there would not be as much acreage for industrial uses. Julia Thompson, co-founder of Tags Gymnastics at 10300 West 70th Street,
stated the business had been in Eden Prairie since 1982 and in this building since
2002. Tags employed 75-100 people. The events of 2020, especially the Covid-19 pandemic and its requirements for masks and social distancing, placed stress on her business serving over 3,500 students. Moving from 100 percent to 50 percent could be challenging. She felt fortunate to meet these guidelines now but worried
about the future and for future owners, especially tenants with uses similar to
hers. Employment was a challenge right now. She urged the commission to show more flexibility in this amendment and thanked them for their flexibility thus far. Kirk asked for and received clarification from both Thompson and Klima that the
rest of the tenants were not gymnasiums, as the one other fitness center exceeded
the 15 percent floor area threshold for retail. Mette asked at what point nonconforming uses such as gymnasiums could be prohibited after a use reverts to industrial. Klima replied the nonconforming
language in the City Code, which mirrored the State’s language, would apply in
this case. If the nonconforming use ceased to operate for one year and was not released to another nonconforming business, then the site would require a conforming use. Mette suggested included an explanatory letter in that case.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 28, 2020

MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Kirk to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0. Farr stated this was a mixed-use district but an Industrial Zoned District could include factories and other uses with low density, and he saw a contradiction of
keeping employment high in a traditionally low-density area. He saw more logic
in allowing higher-density technical uses in commercial than in restricting use in an Industrial Zoned District. Also, encouraging fitness, especially indoors in Minnesota, was a good message to send. Ideally, the commission would vote to allow more use of gymnasiums in this zone. Kirk concurred and stated the 50
percent limit was an obstacle for him, too. He asked for data on the results of such
limitations in other communities. He advised against an “artificial” or arbitrary limit. Gooding stated he visited the Golden Triangle and saw a great variety of uses,
ranging from perhaps 10 employees to one hundred, and questioned the focus on
placing limits on gymnasiums. He also asked for more data. Mette warned against the commission getting into a public policy discussion against a land use discussion. She agreed with Gooding, Kirk, and Farr, but stated this kind of question was common in urban planning, even if the stated desired outcome was
not the actual outcome, and the question may go to the policy, which was beyond
the scope of this commission. Kirk replied airing the issue was a healthy discussion. He agreed the commission could only advise on policy. Farr stated the difference between regulating a primary versus a secondary use in
a zoning district. He urged working on the primary use if the strategy was to add
employees. Higgins stated she sensed there was an effort to look at other cities as examples, and asked Klima for examples. Klima replied staff did look at other communities in the region, many of which
used different zoning district terminology. Two communities provided limitations
(Bloomington at 50 percent floor area, and Hopkins at 3,000 square feet). She added the commission could make a recommendation on the percentage. Pieper asked for and received clarification the research did not sufficiently detail to confirm such limitations spurred growth. Mette asked if the limitation was applied
to the Golden Triangle, and Klima replied it applied to all Industrial Zones in
Eden Prairie. Markos noted this could theoretically allow 50 percent gymnasiums in every building, which defeated the purpose of the proposal. Discussion followed on preserving opportunity areas versus encouraging certain jobs. Pieper noted the difficulty of this issue coming up now, during a pandemic. Klima
replied this issue had been on staff’s list to address and after the completion of the
Comprehensive Plan process, staff began working on implementing strategies of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff had identified this item as an issue to be addressed and began working on this prior to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 28, 2020

Pieper asked for and received confirmation the commission could make a
recommendation on the definition without adopting the limitation language. Mette asked for and received clarification the commission was being asked to 1) define gymnasiums and 2) recommend a percentage use (or none). Kirk stated the commission was 1) trying to solve a problem it did not know how to solve, and 2)
the way it was being “solved” (the 50 percent limitation) did not have sufficient
data to back it. He questioned putting a building owner through the PUD process with the implementation of the 50 percent limitation. At this time, he supported no limitation change. Mette agreed, and added further changes could be made in the future. Defining this zoning district use definition was also deciding the goal
of this amendment. Kirk replied focusing on primary uses, as Farr had
recommended, was a way forward. Higgins agreed the future was uncertain and no one knew how it would impact zoning in Eden Prairie, therefore the commission could not know the actual outcome of this amendment.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Farr to recommend approval of the code
amendment gymnasium definition change but to add no percentage limit to total floor space area (maintaining the existing allowed 100 percent total floor area). MOTION CARRIED 8-0.
B. CODE AMENDMENT FOR LIGHTING
Request for:
• Amend City Code Chapter 11 relating to site lighting Klima presented a PowerPoint and explained the amendment. This was a
housekeeping amendment to implement design standards currently captured by staff in the Development Agreement, therefore, to require by Code what was currently in practice. The amendment would maintain current requirements and add standards for downcast, shielded, and cut off features and other measures to reduce glare and light spill onto neighboring properties. Staff recommended
approval. MOTION: Markos moved, seconded by Mette to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.
Farr advised against being overly restrictive in the lighting code. He commended the addition of “downcast luminaires” and wished to see a three-foot concrete base to the height requirements on pole lights. He was unsure if the recommendation would keep glare from the property lines on parking lots, since light poles were planted on the green space. He urged some flexibility or “free
zone” where glare was kept from the property line. He asked for more clarification as to the canopy lighting. Kirk suggested the “free zone” be the setback on the other property. Society had profited from higher efficiency and LEDs, but “efficiency” was not mentioned in
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 28, 2020
Page 5
the amendment, and he asked if this was necessary. Mette agreed it saved money
and was desired by property owners but questioned whether it should go in this amendment or elsewhere. Farr replied most or all new lighting was LED, and new technology could come in the future, so staff’s design guidelines were adequate to address this question. Klima agreed this was addressed by the design guidelines.
Pieper asked for a clarification on requirement b), and Klima explained the three-
foot bumper requirement followed from the requirement all parking lot lighting be installed in an island. Any installed not on an island would require the three-foot base but if given the option, lighting located in islands may increasingly be unlikely to be installed.
Farr noted the units of parking were detailed in number of stalls, which were too far apart for 25-foot light poles. If the City was to require a light on a parking island, require islands. This made sense for, say, Eden Prairie Center but not for all commercial/retail business parking lots. Discussion followed on Farr’s
suggestion that the requirement of all poles being on islands be relaxed.
MOTION: Farr moved, seconded by Toomey to recommend approval of the code amendment based on the staff report dated September 28, 2020 with the following changes: under items a) through g) in the underlighting section, full acceptance of
item a), changing the requirement in item b) to include a 25-foot pole on a
maximum three-foot base, the elimination of item c), retaining item d), changing item e) to add a building setback zone where “adjacent properties” does not apply, retaining item f), and in item g) adding the phrase “except decorative lighting at building entries.” MOTION CARRIED 8-0.
C. CODE AMENDMENT FOR TOWERS AND ANTENNAS Request for:
• Amend City Code Chapter 11 to comply with recent Federal Communication Commission rulings
Klima presented a PowerPoint and detailed the amendment change. The FCC Act of 1996 established antennas and towers as permitted uses in all cities that may not be discriminated against by zoning districts established in cities. The Spectrum Act of 2012 established that local governments were required to
approve certain requests to modify existing wireless structures. In June of 2020 the FCC approved a declaratory ruling to further clarify criteria within the Spectrum Act of 2012 related to altering existing wireless structures. The proposed code change would not alter the existing 13 Subdivisions regulating towers and antennas. Subdivision 14 would be added and provide
acknowledgement of the 2020 FCC declaratory ruling. Staff recommended approval. Pieper asked if what the commission had previously reviewed at Eden Prairie High School would have still come before the commission after this code
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September 28, 2020
Page 6
amendment was adopted, and Klima replied it still would have. It was to build a
new tower, Mette asked for and received clarification Section 14 included items a), b), and c). MOTION: Higgins moved, seconded by Mette to close the public hearing.
MOTION CARRIED 8-0.
MOTION: Kirk moved, seconded by Gooding to recommend approval of the code amendment based on the findings in the staff report dated September 23, 2020. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.
VII. MEMBERS’ REPORTS VIII. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Markos moved, seconded by Toomey to adjourn. MOTION CARRIED 8-0.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
SECTION: Report of the City Manager
DATE:
October 20, 2020
DEPARTMENT/DIVISION: Office of the City Manager/
Finance, Sue Kotchevar
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Authorize the use of CARES ACT Funds for grants to the
Eden Prairie Foundation and the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce.
ITEM NO.:
XIV.B.1.
Requested Action Move to: Authorize the use of CARES ACT Funds for grants to the Eden Prairie Foundation and the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce. Authorize up to $27,850 for the Foundation and
$59,850 for the Chamber of Commerce.
Synopsis
Through the CARES ACT, the City has the ability to provide nonprofit grants to provide
resources that alleviate the direct and adverse effects related to the COVID-19 public health emergency. All grant funds must be used solely to reimburse eligible nonprofit expenses. The Eden Prairie Foundation and the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce have requested
reimbursement of eligible costs due to the COVID 19 public health emergency.
The Eden Prairie Foundation and the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce provide important services to Eden Prairie citizens and businesses. The organizations have been impacted by COVID-19 public health crisis. Business has been interrupted due to the crisis as they can no
longer conduct their normal activities because of needed social distancing measures and they
have seen decreased demand for events. Eligible non-profit operating costs include employee payroll and benefits, rent/lease payments, mortgage payments, utilities, payments to suppliers, license fees, and other expenses specific to
the pandemic response (e.g. employee training, reopening plans, personal protective equipment).
Nonprofits are required to submit revenue, employment, eligible cost and other documentation to substantiate the impact of their operations due to the crisis and to provide documentation to support amount to be reimbursed. Finance will work with the Foundation and the Chamber of
Commerce to obtain and review the documentation.

City of Eden Prairie
8080 Mitchell Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Oct. 12, 2020
Dear Mr. Getschow,
On behalf of the Eden Prairie Community Foundation, its board and supporters, I am requesting reimbursement of expenses related
to COVID-19 from July through October 2020. It’s our understanding that a portion of the CARES Act funding to the city can be used
to support local nonprofits that have suffered and continue to suffer as a result of the pandemic. It’s our further understanding that
these funds are available to assist with payroll, rent payments, and other expenses that are directly impacted by COVID-19.
As you know, the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that has been filling unmet needs in Eden Prairie for nearly 40 years. In the
last five years alone, more than $1 million in philanthropy has been generated through the Foundation in the form of grants.
In mid-March, the Foundation responded quickly to the pandemic by creating the COVID-19 Response Fund and devoting substantial
resources to its growth so that emergency funding could be directed to nonprofits serving residents suffering hardship from the
pandemic. More than $70,000 has been raised, and nearly $43,000 of that has already been granted to help with food insecurity,
rental assistance, PPE equipment, mental-health counseling, and more. One hundred percent of every donation goes to pandemic-
related needs in Eden Prairie, and the entirety of the fund will be granted during the pandemic and recovery.
This has provided critical support to residents, but has required substantial time and resources from the Foundation. This, combined
with our inability to hold traditional fundraising events, has resulted in a $53,000 deficit projected for the Foundation’s 2020-21
budget ending June 30. Therefore, we request that the following COVID-19 related expenses be considered for CARES Act funding:
Staff salary, July through October, $26,064
COVID-19 Fund mailing to 3,400 EP households, $1,260
Facebook ads for COVID-19 Fund, $260
Additional COVID-related marketing, $50
Four months’ rent, $120
Alternate-technology costs, $60
TOTAL REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT, $27,834
The Foundation can provide documentation for all of these expenses, if requested. Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mark A. Weber
Executive Director
Eden Prairie Community Foundation

Rick Getschow
City Manager – City of Eden Prairie
8080 Mitchell Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Mr. Getschow,
On behalf of the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce and its members, we would like to request expense
reimbursement for expenses incurred during Covid-19 pandemic from March 1, 2020 through October
31, 2020. It is our understanding that the city has created a grant program that we would be eligible for
to reimburse costs such as payroll, office rent, and other expenses.
The Eden Prairie Chamber is a 501C(6) organization and has been supporting the Eden Prairie businesses
and community for over 50 years. We provide a wide variety of services, programs and resources for
our members, area businesses and others from networking events, business seminars and conferences,
public policy support, connecting our businesses and students on workforce issues and providing key
information on issues and opportunities impacting Eden Prairie. Since March 1st, the Eden Prairie
Chamber has experienced financial losses due to the impact of Covid-19.
When the pandemic first started and our Governor took action via Executive Order, we shifted our focus
from some of our traditional services of in-person meeting and major events like the Eden Prairie Home,
Landscape and Garden Expo, to providing daily updates to our businesses with the latest information
from the White House down to our local government. Myself and additional staff focused our time on
how we could provide assistance to area businesses and to find the most updated information to share
that would help them and guide them through what was happening. In addition, we fielded requests on
how businesses could access loans, grant dollars through PPP and other efforts to assist those impacted
by Covid-19 and the pandemic. We moved to hosting online events free, we helped promote our local
businesses with promotions like Take out Tuesday and other marketing efforts through our 2,000+ e-
mail list and social media posts. In addition, we video taped business interviews to help showcase how
our businesses could open safely; and recently distributed 100,000 face masks to area businesses in
need. In addition, we reduced expenses everywhere we could by reducing staff compensation and
benefits, training budgets, office expenditures and ultimately eliminated two full time positions.
The following are expenses we would like to request for consideration to be reimbursed per the eligible
expense reimbursement period:
• Rent of $22,030.51
• Payroll of $28,590.10
• Phone/internet of $3,464.89
• Equipment and computers of $5,757.44
Total of these expenses equals $59,842.94
The Eden Prairie Chamber meets all the criteria for the city of Eden Prairie’s grant program and we
greatly appreciate your consideration.
Sincerely,
Pat MulQueeny
President
Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce
