Guest Speakers: Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Fierce
MEETING AGENDA
Heritage Rooms
I. Sustainability Update
Getschow introduced Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Fierce to present the Council’s annual
sustainability update. Fierce displayed a graph of total greenhouse gas emissions throughout
Eden Prairie. Planned emissions reductions come from sectors including commercial efficiency
and fuel switching. The City is currently on track to meet its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by
2050. Data is a few years behind due to a lag in utilities reporting. Emissions decreased three
percent from 2022 to 2023, and 33 percent since 2007. Case noted many sectors are outside of
City control and asked what percentage of reduction is within City control. Fierce noted the City
has direct control over less than a quarter of emissions.
Fierce displayed a graph of emission changes by sector. Electricity emissions have decreased 64
percent since 2007 due to increased appliance efficiencies. Natural gas emissions are closely tied
to weather and have increased seven percent since 2007. Waste emissions, the smallest emission
category, have decreased 22 percent since 2007. Travel emissions have decreased eight percent
since 2007 but are slowly rebounding post-COVID. Case asked what comprised travel emissions.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 2
Fierce noted all cars driving into and out of the City are counted, including non-resident
commuters. Narayanan noted the City should investigate the proportion of resident versus non-
resident traffic. Fierce stated reduction in travel emissions comes from conversion to Electric
Vehicles (EVs) and car commuters switching to walking, biking, and using public transit.
Narayanan asked how this data will change once the light rail is in operation. Ellis noted the
expected benefit to travel emissions once commuters switch to the light rail.
Fierce explained the largest category of GHG emissions is from buildings at 59 percent of
emissions. Because electricity is cleaner earlier and overall electricity use is lower than planned,
the City is ahead of Climate Action Plan (CAP) expectations. Emissions from natural gas are now
higher than electricity emissions for buildings. Case asked if cities in cold climates are finding
ways to incentivize rooftop solar and heat exchangers. Fierce answered that is the main goal of
the electrify everything MN program. Air source heat pumps for cold climates are now available.
Fierce stated population has grown four percent since 2007, but citywide electricity usage has
decreased 19 percent due to energy efficiencies including LEDs and more efficient appliances.
Case asked what percentage of the decrease is due to utility companies investing in wind and
solar energy. Fierce noted that percentage isn’t easily identifiable, but emissions per Kilowatt-
hour have decreased 56 percent. Case questioned why Xcel is not continuing to expand into solar
energy. Ellis answered Xcel sees more value in wind than solar energy. Nelson added it wasn’t
Xcel’s choice to invest in solar energy, it was required by legislature.
Fierce noted vehicle miles traveled decreased during the pandemic. Future planned emissions
reductions will come from the switch to EVs and commuters switching to other modes of
transport including walking and biking. Case noted autonomous vehicle adoption will also result
in increased efficiencies. Fierce explained vehicle emissions are based on the number of miles
driven in the city and the carbon intensity of each mile driven. Hybrid vehicles and EVs are
factored in, but emissions are a state-wide average. Vehicle travel emissions are down eight
percent since 2007, but will likely continue to increase post-COVID.
Fierce displayed a graph of waste GHG emissions. Waste data comes from county wide
incineration, landfilling, recycling, and organics processing. This data is specific to Hennepin
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 3
County, not specific to Eden Prairie. Waste emission is not yet on-track to achieve carbon
neutrality by 2050. Nelson asked if the county is attempting to reduce landfill waste. Fierce
confirmed Hennepin County is the most aggressive county in the state in terms of promoting
organics recycling. Case noted Eden Prairie hasn’t greatly embraced organics recycling, and the
City should expand education efforts. Fierce stated the City sends an annual recycling guide with
a page dedicated to organics recycling, but additional education efforts can be investigated.
Fierce explained Hennepin County’s goal to eliminate 90 percent of waste by 2050, the most
ambitious recycling goal in the country. Case asked if the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center
(HERC) is still in discussion to close. Fierce confirmed it will stay open until diversion rates are
met. Landfilling waste is worse than incinerating. The legislature recently approved a bill for
producers of waste packaging to make materials recyclable or compostable. Fierce displayed a
graph of GHG emissions per capita and explained since 2016 Eden Prairie’s per capita emissions
have decreased more than other comparable Minnesota cities.
Fierce discussed Electrify Everything MN, which provides education and resources for
electrification strategies. Narayanan asked what the solar panels breakeven point is. Ellis noted
the two City solar projects on Fire Station 1 and Liquor Store 2 had a three year payback
considering the 50 percent State match. Fierce noted resident familiarity with electrification
increased eight percent in the last quality of life survey. The first development projects under the
City’s new Sustainable Building Standard will be voted on by the Council tonight. The Residence
Inn hotel will be LEED silver, solar ready, and have six level 2 and two fast EV chargers. The Roers
EP apartment project will have electric heating, and emissions will be offset with solar panels.
Getschow noted the City’s Sustainable Building Standard is the result of Council consistently
prioritizing sustainability.
Fierce explained the City promotes energy efficiency resources in Eden Prairie including
partnering with Xcel Energy to provide businesses with free lighting, HVAC, and refrigeration
audits, similar to home energy audits. The florescent lightbulb ban begins in 2026. Existing bulbs
can be used up, but new bulbs will no longer be made. Seven City facilities have solar panels
installed, generating 3,700 megawatt hours of solar energy per year. Case asked if there is any
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 4
free rooftop space on City buildings for additional solar panels. Ellis noted once the Maintenance
Facility roof is replaced solar could be installed.
Fierce stated there are two thousand EVs registered in Eden Prairie, three percent of total vehicle
registrations. This is slightly higher than the state average for percentage of EVs. There are 25 EVs
in the City fleet, which is 22 percent of eligible vehicles. Case noted the City’s goal to be 100
percent EV for vehicles that are available and financially viable. Getschow added the City
currently has electric garbage trucks and electric Zambonis. Fierce noted there are multiple level
2 and fast EV chargers available to the public.
Fierce detailed sustainability events for the public. The City hosts multiple curbside recycling
events for hard to recycle items such as furniture, mattresses, and appliances. Free compost is
available at the Arbor Day event. Sustainability Commission members attend the City Wide Open
House to discuss electric vehicles. A Fix It Clinic was held at the Eden Prairie Community Center in
partnership with Hennepin County. 150 individuals attended and 200 items were fixed. A clothing
swap was recently held where one ton of clothing was swapped. 4 thousand individuals are
subscribed to the sustainability newsletter. The City was recently awarded a Best of Buildings,
Benchmarks, and Beyond (B3) award for facilities improvements including LED upgrades, rooftop
units, and boilers resulting in a 14 percent decrease in energy use from 2023 to 2024. The Council
Members thanked Fierce for her time and efforts.

Getschow explained that CSM is requesting approvals necessary to develop the
59.6 acres of land at the NE corner of Valley View Road and Interstate 494 into a
157-room hotel and an 8,000 sq ft restaurant. The hotel and restaurant will
occupy 6.59 acres, and the northern 53 acres will be acquired by the City to be
preserved as parks and open space. Approvals necessary include a comprehensive
plan amendment, zoning district change, preliminary plat, Planned Unit
Development, and site plan.
John Ferrier, Vice President of Architecture and Development, CSM Corporation,
located at 500 Washington Avenue in South Minneapolis, introduced himself. Mr.
Ferrier detailed the history of the Residence Inn. He explained the reasoning
behind the requested waivers for building height, shoreland setback, and the
shore impact zone. Additionally, the application includes requests for zoning and
land use changes to become Regional Commercial and Parks and Open Space
designations. Lastly, Mr. Ferrier showed various renderings of the proposed
building.
Toomey asked about the status of the Bald Eagle’s nest discussed at the Planning
Commission meeting. Mr. Ferrier stated that three different groups investigated
the property, and no group could find a nest. Toomey noted the nest may be
more visible as the leaves fall. Mr. Ferrier pointed out that there are many fallen
trees on the property, and they believe that the nest was in a fallen tree.
Toomey thanked the developers for the retention of heritage trees. She asked
about the size of the retaining walls. Mark Kronbeck, Principal Landscape
Architect, Alliant Engineering, stated the highest point is 22 feet. Concrete
modular block is the planned material.
Bart Knutsen, 7120 Willow Creek Road, pointed out the beauty of the property as
it stands. He suggested the building utilize hills to screen the building from folks
viewing the lake.
Bruce Paradis, 12530 Beach Circle, asked what the plans are for the undeveloped
portion of the property. He asked if the plans would add pressure to the lake.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 4
Case asked Staff for clarity on the shoreline ordinance. Klima noted the shoreline
ordinance talks about dock rights along the shoreline. The property doesn’t have
direct access to Bryant Lake. The City’s portion of the property would maintain its
natural condition.
Hans Rasmussen, 5540 Queen Avenue South, introduced himself as a
representative of UNFI. He offered to answer any questions and explained the
history of project discussions. The land has been assessed as developable land.
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Freiberg, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
Case asked if there is any plan to connect the property to existing trail systems.
Klima stated the topography doesn’t allow for an access point or parking lot.
There is potential to partner with the schools to access low-impact amenities
such as a trail. Case stated the school could use the area for educational
purposes.
Case asked what the plans are for the current Residence Inn building. Mr. Ferrier
stated the developers are open to multiple options, such as reusing or
redeveloping the buildings.
Nelson asked what clientele would be utilizing the new development. Scott
Cross, General Manager of Residence Inn, stated that their model is attractive to
long-term guests or international contractors. They offer one- to two-night stays
on occasion.
Narayanan asked if the restaurant has a drive-thru. Mr. Ferrier stated the
restaurant doesn’t include a drive-thru.
MOTION: Freiberg moved, seconded by Toomey, to adopt Resolution No. 2025-
097 for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Medium Density Residential,
Parks and Open Space, and Office to Parks and Open Space on 53.01 acres and

current Residence Inn building from the light rail. Mr. Ferrier stated they
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 5
completed multiple studies on the topic with the Metropolitan Council, which
confirmed the concern for vibration impacts.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 5-0.
Getschow noted Mr. Knutsen asked questions about elevation during the public
hearing. He asked the developer to show the resident sightline photos of the
proposed building to address his concerns.
Case added that the building will be inset in a manner to absorb most of the
additional 12 feet of height. Mr. Ferrier stated little to no visual impact on the
surrounding areas is expected due to setbacks, berming, natural slopes, and
landscaping.
B. Roers Eden Prairie Apartments by Roers Companies. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-
101 for Guide Plan Change from Industrial Flex Tech to Medium High Density
Residential on 5.86 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-102 for PUD Concept Review
on 5.86 acres, approve first reading of Ordinance for a PUD District Review with
Waivers on 5.86 acres, and Zoning District Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 5.86
acres
Getschow explained that Roers Companies proposed to demolish an existing five-
story office building at 6436 City West Parkway and construct a 195-unit
apartment building at that location. The approvals necessary include a
comprehensive plan amendment, zoning district change, Planned Unit
Development Concept Review, and PUD District Review with waivers, and a site
plan.
Nick Asta, Developer at Roers Companies, detailed the unique goals and abilities of
Roers. The project is technically transit-oriented. The construction timeline is
similar to that of the light rail.
Case asked how long the trail will be from the light rail station. Klima noted there
are two alternatives for locations, and the City is working to determine the best
design fit. It is likely one-quarter to one-third of a mile wide.
Justin Merkovich, JLG Architects, noted the project was unanimously approved by
the Planning Commission. He detailed the reasoning for the developer’s request
for density, setback, height, and parking waivers.
Case asked if folks could use nearby parking lots in case of overflow parking. Mr.
Merkovich stated there is no additional sparking space available within the
property lines. The area has ample parking for other uses, and they have been
working closely with other property owners.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 6
Mr. Merkovich explained the historical context of the site and showed external
renderings of the site. The project is uniquely placed to utilize public transit.
Toomey noted her appreciation of the curvature of the building. She asked what
was done with the demolished materials. Mr. Asta stated that any demolished
materials will be recycled.
Toomey stated she would like to see more definition on the top floors. Case
pointed out the importance of top, middle, and bottom visual interest.
No one wished to address the Council for the public hearing.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Toomey, to close the public hearing.
Motion carried 5-0.
Nelson asked if there are plans for a play area, green space, and flowering plants.
Mr. Merkovich explained that the plans exceed requirements for exterior
materials, landscaping, and open space. The outdoor space includes pools, a dog
run, and potential saunas.
Narayanan asked if there were solar panels. Mr. Merkovich stated that they have
determined the building can benefit from solar panels. They hope to use the solar
to offset gas use and work toward a fully electric building.
Freiberg asked if the proposed building would be the tallest building in the area.
Mr. Merkovich confirmed there are other taller buildings nearby.
MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Toomey, to adopt Resolution No.
2025-101 for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Change from Industrial Flex Tech to
Medium High Density Residential on 5.86 acres, adopt Resolution No. 2025-102
for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Review on 5.86 acres, approve the
1st Reading of an Ordinance for a PUD District Review with waivers on 5.86 acres
and Zoning District change from Office to RM-2.5 on 5.86 acres on 6.59 acres,
and direct Staff to prepare Development Agreement incorporating Staff and
Commission recommendations and Council conditions.
Case noted residents have expressed concerns about multi-family housing being
sold off and flipped. Mr. Asta stated Roers is both a developer and a building
management company, and their investors support the work because of the
combination. The TIF documents show that Roers is committed to the building
for the long run.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 5-0.
C. Roers Eden Prairie Apartments Redevelopment Plan Modification, Establishment
CITY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA
October 21, 2025
Page 7
of TIF District, and TIF Plan
Getschow explained that Roers Apartments is requesting Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) for Roers Eden Prairie Apartments located at 6436 City West Parkway. Roers
Apartments is a 195-unit mixed-income apartment project that meets the criteria
for a new Housing TIF District. The project will be developed in one phase. The
project proposes to include 20 percent of the units affordable to residents earning
at or below fifty percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). An additional five
percent of the units, which is 10 units, will be inclusionary housing units as
required by City Code and will be affordable to residents earning at or below 80
percent of AMI. The remaining 146 units will be market rate.
Getschow explained that the request necessitates a Redevelopment Plan
modification, creation of a new TIF District No. 27, and a TIF Plan for Roers
Apartments. The TIF Plan for TIF District No. 27 is the City’s planning document for
the district. It spells out the objectives and policies for the district, identifies the
geographic boundaries, and sets the maximum budgetary authority for the district.
This planning document allows for the creation of a new TIF district. Approval of
the TIF Plan does not grant any specific TIF assistance to the property owner.
Assistance is granted through a separate TIF agreement between the HRA and the
developer.
Case explained the importance of offering affordable housing in a community and
how TIF works and benefits the City.
No one wished to address the Council for the public hearing.
MOTION: Toomey moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing,
direct staff to include the Redevelopment Plan Modification for Redevelopment
Project Area No. 5, establishment of TIF District No. 27, and adoption of a TIF
plan on a future City Council meeting agenda, and recommend that staff include
the TIF Plan and the TIF Development Agreement on a future HRA meeting
agenda. Motion carried 5-0.
D. Approval of 2025 special assessments, adopt Resolution No. 2025-103 approving
special assessments
Getschow pointed out that each year, the City Council holds a public hearing to
consider levying the Special Assessments that have been identified over the
previous 12 months. This year, the Council will address a list of projects and
supplemental assessments for such things as connection fees, sanitary sewer and
water access charges, removal of tall grass and weeds, and removal of trees. Staff
recommends Council approve the list of assessments. The City Council established
the amount to be assessed for the Fall 2025 assessment hearing at its regular
meeting on September 16, 2025. The total amount proposed to be assessed in
2025 is $64,596.

Adopt Resolution of Support for Suburban Transit Providers
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Adopt Resolution of Support for Suburban Transit Providers
SUMMARY
The City of Eden Prairie has been a member of SouthWest Transit since 1986, when Chaska,
Chanhassen and Eden Prairie made the decision to opt out of the Metropolitan Transit
Commission. They formed their own transit service- SouthWest Metro Transit through a joint
power’s agreement.
This resolution highlights the importance of maintaining this “opt-out” system- one that
supports economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and the overall quality of life for our
west metro communities. It also reaffirms the critical role of Suburban Transit Providers,
including SW Transit, and the governance model that ensures local communities have a direct
voice in shaping solutions that reflect evolving demographics and local priorities. With
conversations at the Legislature regarding the future of regional transit, this resolution is
intended to help ensure that Eden Prairie and other communities served by suburban transit
providers have a voice in decisions that affect public transit.
Identical resolutions have been adopted by the cities of Chaska and Chanhassen.

Resolution
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-___ A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING SUBURBAN TRANSIT PROVIDERS
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie is currently served by Southwest Transit, a high-
performing, locally governed transit agency; WHEREAS, Southwest Transit has been consistently recognized for its efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and has successfully adapted service levels and innovations to meet
the unique needs of southwest suburban communities;
WHEREAS, the opt-out transit model has allowed cities like Eden Prairie to maintain local oversight, ensuring accountability, flexibility, and a direct connection to the residents who rely on and fund the service;
WHEREAS, a proposal under consideration of the Minnesota Legislature aims to eliminate suburban transit agencies and consolidate transit operations under Metro Transit, effectively removing local control and potentially diminishing service quality and responsiveness for suburban communities;
WHEREAS, a one-size-fits-all regional model could limit the ability of Southwest Transit to respond to changing demographics, employment patterns, and ridership preferences in communities like Eden Prairie; WHEREAS, local control is essential for ensuring responsible use of taxpayer dollars, timely innovation, and equitable service tailored to specific community needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie encourages the Minnesota Legislature, the Governor, and the Metropolitan Council to continue working in partnership with suburban transit communities to preserve and strengthen a transit system that respects local governance, builds on past success, and reflects the diverse needs of
the region. Therefore the City of Eden Prairie does not support any proposal to eliminate opt-out
transit services, recognizing their essential role in providing responsive, high-quality transportation for our residents; and urges legislation that supports fair and equitable distribution of sales tax.

SUMMARY
The Eden Prairie Hockey Association (EPHA) has been approved for four premises permits to
conduct lawful gambling in the City. EPHA currently operates lawful gambling at Champps
Kitchen & Bar, Old Chicago, X-Golf Eden Prairie, and T.J. Hooligan’s Eden Prairie. EPHA recently
approached the City regarding its desire to relocate one of its premise permits (X-Golf Eden

Gambling Control Board before any lawful gambling may occur at this new site. EPHA has met
the requirements of City Code § 5.40 and staff recommends approval of issuance of the
premises permit for Applebee’s Grill and Bar.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approve Cost Share Agreement with Nine Mile Creek Watershed District for Joma Plow Blades
(IC# 26802)
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve Cost Share Agreement with Nine Mile Creek Watershed District for Joma Plow Blades
SUMMARY
Synopsis
City staff became aware of a cost share program with Nine Mile Creek Watershed District
(NMCWD) for projects related to chloride reduction. On October 22, 2025, the City was
awarded a cost share grant with NMCWD for the purchase of 20 Joma wing blades for City plow
trucks. The award is $24,450.00, which is 75% of the $32,599.09 cost for equipment.
Background Information
Joma plow blades are articulating carbide snowplow blades that increase the ability of plows to
respond to differences in the road surface, resulting in a cleaner plowed surface when
compared to steel plow blades. This increases physical snow and ice removal thereby reducing
the need for chloride application. The blades have other benefits including reduced operator
fatigue, longer blade life, and the ability to backdrag the plow to further increase removal
efficiency.
The City replaced the front blades of its large plow trucks with Joma blades several years ago. In
2024, the wing blade of one plow truck was replaced with a Joma blade as a trial. The Joma
wing blade was more efficient than traditional plow blades, so wing blade replacement was
recommended for the entire fleet.
A September 10, 2025 quote from KRIS Engineering, Inc. for the blades was $32,599.09.
Installation of the 20 wing blades will be completed by City crews.
Financial Implications
The cost will be paid from the Street Maintenance budget. Under the terms of the Cost Share
Agreement, NMCWD will reimburse the City seventy-five (75) percent of the cost of equipment.
The September 10, 2025 quote from KRIS Engineering, Inc. for the blades was $32,599.09.

NINE MILE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
COST SHARE PROGRAM
Cost Share Agreement between
NINE MILE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT and
the City of Eden Prairie
This cost-share agreement, for support of water resource protection and education through the Nine
Mile Creek Watershed District cost-share program, is entered into between Nine Mile Creek
Watershed District, a public body with purposes and powers set forth at Minnesota Statutes
Chapters 103B and 103D (NMCWD), and the City of Eden Prairie (Eden Prairie), a Minnesota
municipal corporation. The purpose of this agreement is to provide for reimbursement by NMCWD
of a portion of the cost of snow-plow retrofits by Eden Prairie (the Project). NMCWD has
determined the amount of cost-share funding it will contribute on the basis of the water-quality
improvement, public education and demonstration benefits expected to be realized.
NMCWD commits to reimburse Eden Prairie in accordance with the terms and on satisfaction of the
conditions of this agreement.
1.Scope of Work
Eden Prairie will purchase, install and utilize Joma Wing Blades as described in the quote attached
hereto as Exhibit A on 20 city-owned snow plows (the Project) Exhibit A is attached to and
incorporated into this agreement as term hereof. Eden Prairie will submit to NMCWD at least one
report that includes a narrative describing the construction of the Project, a description of and
receipts documenting eligible costs incurred including in-kind contributions, a description of any
changes made or expected to the Project and photographs documenting installation and use of the
snow-plow blades (Project Report). A final Project Report must be submitted to NMCWD by
December 1, 2026.
2.Contractor
Eden Prairie will contract for the purchase in accordance with Exhibit A and will or complete the
Project itself. In completing the Project, Eden Prairie will ensure that no person is excluded from full
employment rights or participation in or benefits of any program, service, or activity on the grounds
of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, public-assistance
status or national origin, and that no person protected by applicable federal or state laws, rules or
regulations against discrimination is subject to discrimination.
3.Reimbursement
On receipt and approval of a Project Report and determination by NMCWD that the Project is
complete in accordance with this agreement, NMCWD will reimburse Eden Prairie seventy-five (75)
percent of Eden Prairie’s eligible costs of the purchase of the equipment described in Exhibit A.
Reimbursement under this agreement will not exceed $24,450.
2
NMCWD has determined that partial performance of obligations under section 1 of this agreement
may confer no or limited benefit on NMCWD. As a result, NMCWD may withhold 10 percent of
any reimbursement under this section 2 until NMCWD has confirmed substantial completion of the
Project. Further, absent NMCWD’s written concurrence to an extension of a timeframe established
in this agreement, NMCWD’s commitment to provide reimbursement will be void after the passage
of any deadline for action on the part of Eden Prairie’s stated herein.
4. Right of Access
Eden Prairie will cooperate with NMCWD in allowing members of the public periodically to view
the Project in the company of a NMCWD representative.
5. Maintenance
Eden Prairie will continue the Project for a minimum of five years from the date construction is
complete in accordance with the Maintenance Plan attached as Exhibit B. If Eden Prairie fails to
continue and complete the Project, NMCWD will have a right of reimbursement of all amounts paid
to Eden Prairie, unless NMCWD determines that the failure to continue and complete the Project
was caused by reasons beyond Eden Prairie’s control.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Approve contract agreement with Traffic Control Corporation to provide traffic signal
connectivity and maintenance in 2026 (I.C. 26801).
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Award Contract for Goods and Services for Traffic Signal Connectivity and
Maintenance to Traffic Control Corporation in the amount of $26,495.00.
SUMMARY
Traffic Control Corporation (TCC) is a traffic signal service and support company that offers
products which allow monitoring and connectivity of traffic signal systems. This contract
connectivity and maintenance of the City’s signal systems. Specifically, it includes one year of
maintenance for all traffic signals, one year of cellular connectivity for nine traffic signals and
five years of cellular connectivity for one signal. The remaining ten signals are in their second
year of a five-year connectivity agreement.
Signals with one year of cellular connectivity are scheduled for connection to fiber within the
next year, while signals with five-year cellular connectivity do not have readily available access
to fiber. Fiber connection can be more reliable and is less expensive than cellular connectivity.
City staff recommends awarding the contract to Traffic Control Corporation, in the amount of
$26,495.00.
These costs will be funded by the Transportation Fund as identified in the Annual Signal
Operations and Improvements project in the 2025-2034 CIP.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Award construction contract for the water treatment plant geothermal heating and cooling
system to Pioneer Power, Inc.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Award Contract to Pioneer Power, Inc. for the Geothermal Upgrade to the Water
Treatment Plant HVAC System in the Amount of $3,820,000.
SUMMARY
The climate control system at the City’s water treatment plant has been in operation for varying
intervals of time since 1977 when the first phase of the building was completed. Expanded
three times in 1982, 1988, and 1997, additional heating and cooling equipment for each of
these phases of construction was added for the growing structure. Consequently, the two
oldest portions of the facility have been operating for 48 and 43 years respectively. Even the
newest portion of the treatment plant has climate control equipment that has been in place for
19 years, operating round-the-clock throughout that time. We identified the need for Heating,
Ventillation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) replacement at least a decade ago and decided to
postpone portions of the needed refurbishment until all of the equipment could be replaced at
a single time by a more efficient and innovative system-wide geothermal system taking
advantage of the almost limitless quantity of treated groundwater flowing through the facility.
Utilities Division advertised for bids and received a single bidder upon bid opening. Following a
thorough review of the bidder’s qualifications and finding the bid to be reasonable, staff’s
recommendation is to accept the proposal and award a contract to Pioneer Power, Inc.
This project is planned and funded from the water and wastewater utility capital improvement
funds augmented by cash reserves from the stormwater utility enterprise fund.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
The City of Eden Prairie Parks and Recreation Department is committed to offering new and
engaging recreational and wellness opportunities, especially throughout the long winter
months. A traditional sauna experience is a growing trend in Minnesota, inviting residents to
embrace warmth, wellness, and community. This mobile sauna residency provides an accessible
and affordable way for residents to experience sauna culture locally. A mobile sauna was
featured during WinterBlast 2025, receiving positive feedback and strong interest. Building on
that success, the City plans to expand the opportunity through a winter-long mobile sauna
residency.
REQUESTED ACTION
Move to: Authorize entering into an Agreement with Stonegrove Saunas as the resident
mobile sauna operator for Winter 2025/2026.
SUMMARY
The resident mobile sauna will be offered as a seasonal park amenity at Staring Lake Park from
approximately January through March. The selected company will manage operations as
outlined in the Agreement for Contract Services.
Parks and Recreation staff researched multiple mobile sauna operators and invited three
companies to submit applications for the residency opportunity. After review, staff recommend
Stonegrove Saunas as the preferred operator for this season. Owner Ian Stenlund has been
excellent to work with—communicative, enthusiastic, and familiar with the space.

employees from any loss, claim, liability and expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses
Page 10 of 13
of litigation) to the extent 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.
11. Warranty. The Contractor expressly warrants and guarantees to the City that all Work performed and all
materials furnished shall be in accord with the Agreement and shall be free from defects in materials,
workmanship, and operation which appear within a period of one year, or within such longer period as may be
prescribed by law or in the terms of the Agreement, from the date of City’s written acceptance of the Work. The
City’s rights under the Contractor’s warranty are not the City’s exclusive remedy. The City shall have all other
remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
Should any defects develop in the materials, workmanship or operation of the system within the specified
period, upon notice from the City, the Contractor agrees, within ten (10) calendar days after receiving written
notice and without expense to the City, to repair, replace and in general to perform all necessary corrective
Work with regard to the defective or nonconforming Work or materials to the satisfaction of the City. THE
FOREGOING SHALL NOT IN ANY MANNER LIMIT THE CITY’S REMEDY OR THE CONTRACTOR’S LIABILITY TO THOSE
DEFECTS APPEARING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. The Contractor agrees to perform the Work in a manner
and at a time so as to minimize any damages sustained by the City and so as to not interfere with or in any way
disrupt the operation of the City or the public.
The corrective Work referred to above shall include without limitation, (a) the cost of removing the defective or
nonconforming Work and materials from the site, (b) the cost of correcting all Work of other Contractors
destroyed or damaged by defective or nonconforming Work and materials including the cost of removal of such
damaged Work and materials form the site, and (c) the cost of correcting all damages to Work of other
Contractors caused by the removal of the defective or nonconforming Work or materials.
The Contractor shall post bonds to secure the warranties.

WORK PLAN
Introduction
In accordance with the Cooperative Service Agreement between The City of Eden Prairie and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services (WS), this Work Plan sets forth the objectives, activities and budget
of this project during the period of this agreement.
The APHIS WS program uses an Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) approach (sometimes referred to as IPM or “Integrated Pest Management”) in which a series of methods may be used or recommended to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include the alteration of
cultural practices as well as habitat and behavioral modification to prevent damage. However,
controlling wildlife damage may require that the offending animal(s) are killed or that the populations of the offending species be reduced.
Program Objective
To assist the Eden Prairie, MN in managing nuisance and damaging wildlife species within the City of Eden Prairie’s jurisdiction.
Plan of Action
WS personnel will remove deer from City-designated control areas using suppressed firearms equipped with night vision or thermal imaging scopes. Spotlights may also be used while
conducting control activities. Safe shooting zones and safe back-drops will be established for all
control areas. WS will prioritize public safety during all control operations and utilize a minimum of 2 WS personnel when conducting deer control work. Most deer control activities will be conducted at dusk/night. All control activities will be coordinated with Mathew Bourne, Parks and Natural Resource Manager and the Eden Prairie Police department. WS personnel will advise
local law enforcement and the appropriate local Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
Conservation officer when firearm related wildlife control work is being conducted.
Under this agreement, WS will provide up to 6 control nights and associated bait/maintenance visits to conduct white-tailed deer control activities. The number of site visits provided may be
altered to ensure that funding expenditures do not exceed the amount established in the Financial
Plan of this document.
As part of this agreement, WS will also remove or assist in the removal of other nuisance or damaging wildlife species as requested by the City of Eden Prairie and mutually agreed upon.
WS will use generally accepted wildlife damage management tools, equipment and techniques to
conduct all removal activities under this agreement.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association Bylaws Amendment
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve the Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association (EPFRA) Bylaw changes as unanimously
recommended by the EPFRA Board of Trustees and approved by the general membership of the
EPFRA.
SUMMARY
In 2024 the City Council approved a Bylaw Amendment to increase the Lump Sum payment
from $12,400 per year of service to $15,000 per year of service. No change was made to the
monthly benefit at that time.
The proposed Bylaw changes eliminates the monthly pension option for firefighters effective
10/1/2025 and approves an increase for the monthly pension from $56/month per year of
service to $60/month per year of service.
Specific Bylaw Changes
Monthly Benefit Option
The monthly service pension is calculated by multiplying $56.00 times each year that the
member has been an active firefighter in the fire department and a member in good standing of
the relief association, up to a maximum pension of $1,792.00.
The new monthly service pension is calculated by multiplying $60.00 times each year that the
member has been an active firefighter in the fire department and a member in good standing of
the relief association, up to a maximum pension of $1,920.00.
Removal of Monthly Option
Each member hired before 10/01/2025 may be entitled to either a monthly service pension
benefit or lump sum service pension benefit. Each member hired on, or after, 10/01/2025 may
only be eligible for a lump sum service pension benefit.

Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association P a g e | 2
Article III - General Definitions
1. Surviving Spouse
The term “surviving spouse” means any person who was the dependent spouse of a deceased active
member, deferred member, or retired former member living with the member at the time of the
death of the active member, deferred member, or retired former member for at least one year prior
to the date on which the member terminated active service and membership.
2. Fiduciary responsibility
In the discharge of their respective duties, the officers and trustees shall be held to the standard
of care enumerated in Minn. Stat. 11A.09. In addition, the trustees must act in accordance with
Minn. Stat. 356A. No trustee of the Association shall cause the Association to engage in a
transaction, if the trustee knows or should know that a transaction constitutes one of the
following direct or indirect transactions:
a) sale or exchange or leasing of any real property between the Association and a board
member
b) lending of money or other extension of credit between the Association and a board
member or member of the Association
c) furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between the Association and a board

d) transfer to a board member, or use by or for the benefit of a board member, of any

4. Board of Trustees

5. Calculation of Qualifying Years

months may be added together to calculate full months, provided, however, that in such a
calculation it shall be assumed that 30 days equals a full month.
Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association P a g e | 3
6. Break in Service
(a) Break in Service. A break in service is the period of time in which a member does not
comply with the active service requirements of the Fire Department. A member will not
receive service credit with the Association for the period of a break in service. If a
member’s break in service is less than 60 days, active membership in the Association will
resume when the member returns to active service with the Fire Department.
A break in service does not include an approved leave of absence pursuant to these
bylaws or state law, except for Military Leave or Medical Leave defined in this Article III.
(b) Return to Service. If a member has a break in service of 60 days or more and receives a
lump sum payment, and not a monthly service pension, and then resumes active
membership in the Fire Department and membership in the Association, the member
will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment for his subsequent period of service,
provided he completes a minimum of three years of subsequent service. The lump sum
for the subsequent period of service will be based on the lump sum then payable under
the Bylaws. Such payment shall have no effect on the member’s previous service
pension. In no event will the Association pay duplicate benefits for the same period.
Except as provided in this paragraph (b), a member who has a break in service of more
than 60 days and returns to active service will not receive any credit or earn an additional
benefit for a subsequent period of service.
The above rules for payment of an additional benefit for a subsequent period of service
do not apply to leaves of absence for which a member continues to receive service credit
during the leave under these bylaws.
(c) Effective Date. The changes in this Article III.6 shall apply beginning September 18, 2018
to members who retire on or after such date.
(d) Return to Service: Prior to Payment of Retirement or Disability Benefit If the firefighter has not received payment of a service pension or disability benefit, the firefighter must complete at least three (3) years of active service with the Eden Prairie Fire Department upon resumption of active service. If the firefighter completes
the minimum period of resumption service specified in this Section prior to a subsequent cessation of firefighting duties, the firefighter will receive a service pension (if vested) for all years of active service calculated at the benefit level in
effect on the date of the firefighter’s final cessation of duties. If the firefighter does not complete the minimum period of resumption service specified in this Section prior to a subsequent cessation of duties, the firefighter will receive a service pension (if
vested) for all years of active services calculated at the benefit level in effect at the time of the firefighter’s original cessation of duties. (e) The changes laid out in Article III.6.d shall apply beginning July 29th, 2021.
7. Years of Active Service
For purposes of computing benefits or service pensions payable, a year of service shall be defined
as a period of 12 full months of active service in the Fire Department.
Eden Prairie Firefighter Relief Association P a g e | 4
8. Active Service
Active Service is defined as the active performance of fire suppression or prevention duties or
the supervision of fire suppression or prevention duties. Performance of such suppression,
prevention or supervision shall not qualify as “active service” unless the firefighter meets all the
rules and regulations of the Fire Department during such service.
9. Trustees
The individuals designated as such by Minn. Stat. 424A.04.
10. Domestic Relations Order
A domestic relations order is any judgment, decree or order (including approval of a property
settlement agreement) that complies with the provisions of Minn. Stat. 518.58, 518.581 or 518A.53.
11. Personal Leave
An Active Member may be granted a personal leave of absence in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Fire Department. No credit shall be given for the period of the leave of absence.

bylaws.

or technical school, when that child graduates with his/her undergraduate degree or technical
degree, quits school, reaches the age of twenty-two (22), or fails to provide proof of current
educational enrollment, whichever occurs first. Any child furthering his or her education and
wishing to qualify for benefits must produce annually, in a form satisfactory to the Board of
Trustees, proof that the child is a full-time student in a college or trade school.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
New Parks and Recreation App
REQUESTED ACTION
No formal action requested
SUMMARY
The Parks and Recreation Department is launching a new app that will be downloadable from
all app stores. It has been developed over the past year in collaboration with the
Communications Team and input from staff, Commissioners, and residents. The new app will
allow people to access many features that are found on the City website from the convenience
and efficiency of their cell phone. People will be able to navigate Park Finder, See Click Fix,
Program and Camp Registration, job announcements, facility rental reservations, City events,
and scan into their membership at the Eden Prairie Community Center. Once downloaded,
people can opt to get park and recreation updates sent to their phone. We are excited to unveil
the app to the community and hope to make Eden Prairie Parks and Recreation
communications easier and from the palm of your hand!
