U.S. Bank Stadium otherwise in agreement, identify. As the Minnesota state of Minnesota ms faa has requested the assistance of the Saint Paul Police Department to fill some positions during Minnesota Vikings games between the dates of AUGUST 8 and AUGUST 7th of 2026. These games used to be staffed fully by Minneapolis Police Department. However, their department is far below straight this time. So they reached out to neighboring jurisdictions to see if they can assist with providing police services at the games, which they received
assistance from most departments throughout Hennepin County that work at the they have since reached to puppies. For up to see that if we can assist as well. The schedule games, which is a privately 10 to 11 games per season. Thanks to be she questions. I see. Billion, a teacher. Johnson, thank you. PRESIDENT Also appreciate buying a deputy chief to come here explains. I did have some questions about this item. So i'm I'm happy have like the time to talk about it. My question, I have particularly staffing and servicing for the Minnesota Vikings games. Is this something that the city of Mnneapolis is paying for? Is something that's out of our budget. The stadium commission will be pain. Each officer rate of $150 an hour. The current rate that we charge for contractual
over time, which is aiming from a Saints game. 2 of Minnesota wild into whole Foods is approximately $126 and $0.50 an hour. $150 an hour will be over that amount in order to cover French and wear and tear on police vehicles transfers to and from Minneapolis and our equipment. Thanks Israeli. So just to follow up and make clear, - there will be no cost to the city of Saint Paul Thanks Johnson. That was my Went into Lake other questions. Can you say warmer chief, dates of the games and when when this is happening? The contract is before The dates redefined for this AUGUST 8th of 2025. Through AUGUST, 7th of 20 26. So they will most likely. Bill earlier in their ask next year and

Take a motion for missing all in favor. Say Aye. 7 in favor opposed the resolution is adopted. Thank you. Thank you. Take a motion from Vice PRESIDENT Come to suspend the rules to consider.

And this was one of those, the approvals and all of the paperwork that was necessary for this business to open was done. But due to some clerical delays, the legistar items were not ready in time in the business is hoping to open on SEPTEMBER 6th. And so in effort to avoid burdens on this local business, I wanted to bring this forward so that
they're opening could proceed as planned. So it is approval of change of ownership. So I would move approval. Any discussion motion. Seeing none all in favor say Aye. All opposed. 7 in favor nor opposed the resolution is adopted. Item. First 15, his first reading of ordinance. 25 Dash 50 amending chapter. 45 of the Administrative Code to define reporting requirements and require that the city's legislative agenda be submitted to city council at least 90 days prior to the start of the regular state legislative session. And this is a first reading. So we will have a staff report from our chief policy officer, Tim Greenfield. Before that, though, I will take a motion from his chose to move a version 2. Which basically just changes the title of this
ordinance, which is slightly the title doesn't reflect the text amendment to make sure that they matched the vrsion. 2 is in Legistar. So just just for now, a motion to replaced version to with what's there now all in favor say Aye. Aye, all opposed 7 in favor nor opposed the amendment is approved. Welcome, MR. Greenfield. Thank you. Council PRESIDENT Council ordinance 20 file. 25 Dash 50. There was a bit of a technical. Disconnect between what was internally uploaded to Legistar versus what is publicly displayed. So the strike through changes aren't available on the day website version of this language. But the language that Mr Williams is passing around does properly reflect those changes. So. During the staff report and walk through, I'll be referring to. Paper
version of the language and we'll go from there. So ordinance 20 file. 25 50 modifies reporting requirements and institute a schedule for this mission of the city's legislative agenda to the City council. Prior to the start of the regular state legislative session. It also establishes a mechanism by which the city Council. Has to approve the submitted legislative agenda and the time it has before the conclusion of the end of legislative session to amend submitted approved city of Saint Paul's legislative agenda. Well, so the pair policy summary that's been uploaded the agenda. So if you want to have more of a high-level summary of each item, happy if have to look there. But generally the ordinance does major issue, 3
major things. The first is that it amends certain definitions to be consistent with the past practices in the past legislative agendas that have been before the council. So it adds headings and topics that we're look back upon for the city's legislative aenda and use those as a starting point for what must be required to be filled when it submitted to the City Council for approval. There are also some technical cleanup definition changes to the definition of a lobbyist, I think substantial. But just cross reference change there. And then there's also asked Rick in paragraph c that deals with federal legislative agenda. And that's something that in the research was not something is seen separate are taken up by the council is kind we wanted to develop more. The catchall definition
of the legislative agenda. And while it is specific to state issues, there really hasn't been a level of specific identification of federal legislative activities that the city has adopted as part of its agenda. So that's why the definition has been left out and consolidate Then section. To the administrative code provides aforementioned mechanisms by which the agenda submitted the legislative agenda must be summited from the mayor to the city council. No later than the first Wednesday prior to the commencement of the regular state legislative session and then it specifies the topics and heading must be included in the agenda. After this mission of the agenda. The council has 30 days after the commencement of the regular
state legislative session to approved by resolution the legislative agenda. So for purposes of this year, that would be somewhere around the middle of MARCH as this regular state legislative session is expected to come and is scheduled to commence FEBRUARY 17th. And then finally paragraph d of 45. 0, 2, allows that. The allows the council to update resolution and adopted legislative agenda no later than 30 days prior to end of the state legislative session, which has a constitutional adjournment date. So somewhere in the middle of APRIL, the city council has would have the ability to amend it adopted legislative If there are additional items that our priority accounts. And then the remaining changes in
section 45 3.45 or for are just part of that. It's being brought in and have no it happens. Every other questions, council member staff. Thank you so much. MR. Can feel they want to acknowledge your hard work on this and know that this is the first policy coming forward from with the work of our chief policy officer. So thank you. Also want to thank our intergovernmental relations team for your work on this for a lot. That will be looking forward to getting from legislature this year and working with our partners on full in advance for the work that together on that. So high level, we are being clear that we need to see the legislative agenda prior to it being
presented lobby for during the session. And also this clarifies exactly how we want that agenda structured. That's That in the beginning number of years, the Legislature will some time the second week of JANUARY. So that would give us roughly 3 to 4 weeks before the start of session actually take action on that. But we wuld have 30 days this numbered years. So the middle of FEBRUARY, realistically to take action our Web site of a gender submitted by the mayor. And I would just say to my colleagues that my hope would certainly be that we approve the legislative agenda. Before the commencement of session. But I blieve this
language gives us a little bit of wiggle room so that we're not we have the flexibility should need more time. But I think it's important. I think we all agree to send a clear message to our partners at the legislature as to what we're prioritizing. So other questions for MR. Greenfield or discussion. Word. This is just frustrating. But of Yemen's yang of them is things the PRESIDENT. What I want thank you for your work on this. You just joined our council team, but you're already on a roll. just want to say that this is I am very supportive of this. I can feel It'll be putting forward a lot of positive change and also just consistency 18. Our office, the mayor's office on. And like most importantly, to many of the organizations and advocates in the community who often come and talk to all of us as elected officials things they care about. Often the asking it MAY be too late submitting something to the
city for your legislative I think that this is something that will help give them a lot of guidance and direction on times timeline looks like. So thank you to everybody who was involved in it. Thanks change as thank you, PRESIDENT Maker and thank you so much. Chief our chief policy officer Escuse me and also for the staff to help with this as well to. I am also in support of I did want to use as a question, particularly seems like this language is just about adopting the budget before lobbying activities take place to. We also do we already have an ordinance or anything and our charter? We gt update after the session has ended and we get no update about
what policy has taken place. I know we've done that before, but I think that's something that also should be included in this language as we're, you know, voting on approving the agenda. We also shouldn't have and that that fight, hearing that feedback of how the session went. Councilmember be I'm not aware of any ordinance, but I think that's a reasonable suggestion that something that you can explore. Thank I would support that amendment if that were brought forward. Obviously frustrating will have public hearing. But to all of my clleagues, this is this is a draft for us to amend. So if you want to add that in. I'm certain important. Other discussion or all right. This was his first reading off a public hearing next week. Thanks so much that. Item 1 is a public ordinance. 24 dash. 26 many
chapters. 65 66 of the legislative code pertaining to drive-thru sales and services and a walk-up services window. So this brings us to the public hearing section of our agenda.

you hear it or see it? It just takes a moment activated by voice uk. So what's before you today is a flat and to create 6 townhome parcels and went out live and a plan that is a subdivision of land and I don't know if this showing it. Yes, yes, it is ok, just to be able to orient people where this is. This is the southwest corner of Marshall Avenue and more. It's in the Union Park neighborhood just a couple few blocks west of Snelling Avenue just kind snowing. And there we Selling Cleveland, Iguess. And the lower one just so is the zoning of the property, which is rm one residential multi-family zoning district. Currently, it's a single
parcel. It used to have a single family home on it that has been removed. The intent after the plan to create a 6 unit townhome. Building there and the plan that allows those individual townhome, lots that are being created to be sld rather than having it be one building which could be rented the board. But only one owner here, we could have individual owners of each of it's of the townhomes and then s 6 lots that are being created in the plant and then one out lot and then out lot encompass that. The common areas that surround those 6, lots. There's some area to the north to the south and a little bit to the west. And there is a a declaration of covenants and restrictions document that accompanies the Platte that talks about who's responsible for maintaining a
lot. A common area because all 6 owners, individual owners of the townhomes would be responsible. For that common area, there's the staff report this in Legistar Stephens, all of the findings to the net and recommends approval of the Platte with the 2 conditions that are recommended in the draft resolution. And the staff report to record the plant with Ramsey County, along with the decorations documents. So that is the flat before you and take any questions otherwise picture thank you so much. Any questions from the status? Thanks so much. All right. This is a public hearing will come up. good afternoon. I'm Sott Van Wert. The resident immediately across Marshall and also resident who was was here quite a few years ago. We had a 16 rm to a student housing, you know, going right
across from us. Part of the natural concern is especially folks know along Marshall is the number of student housing that are going in and being in clustered. And we all know that when there is clusters of students that can be much more disruptive and we've had many noise complaints and many playspace calls every year in this time of year. We have the police calls. So the biggest concern and this is also we have a number of residents who get together and talk about issue. So talked to several several folks, including owners were directly across from more. This is fantastic that this is seems to be designated to be. Owner occupied, but also just looking at how the paperwork works and how the
bonus unit was put in place is that it's apparent that it could at ultimately still be rental and still be student rental. So the bonus system is it is neutral. But in this case we would really strongly like to see owner occupied and would maybe urge the council members too, reach out to the developer and make sure there's put in MAY be an absolute as close as I can be. some level of assurance that these are going to be owner occupied units and include. I believe 2 bonus units that are going to be affordable and that's excellent. The final is just maybe a comment. The we hope through the construction that
that it doesn't start before 07:00am. We've had issues previously with the construction. Have to call the police cetera. And then finally. The other point almost forgot here The been some of the collect this year. There's been the grass has never been caught in the building was just demolished right time. So many due to wrap it up and the grasses this high and the boulevard folks have called Dsi. But there's been no response. The grasses and weeds are still blocking view of traffic that high. Okay. Thank you very much, sir, for your testimony. Make sure to sign. And if you didn't already anyone else here to testify on this item. Seeing none. Take a motion from his comment to close the public hearing all in favor say Aye. All opposed 7 favor nor opposed public hearing is closed common to tune Yeah, I just thank you council PRESIDENT Maker. I would like
to first thank Ms De Lis for taking the time to both me and my office through it. This matter, too, seek out the answers to a number of our questions regarding both what the vote is today with the potential consequences are and what if any adjustments MAY be appropriate. Also like to thank our board for resident for coming to check what's on the challenges that arise with increased nc as will be seen on the And I think that certainly be mindful of construction of that, you know, other hazards that might arise at through what the construction process are quite essential. Ultimately, the site plan for this location has been approved. This will a more dense. It will be able to welcome our neighbors at this location. Formerly a Marshall address into being more
address. We are at the question today is about what the ownership opportunities are at the through the place will have the opportunity to a law for the individual sales of these units. I think that that I an excellent opportunity to be in front of us. I'm excited to support this and happy to into questions of other members. Have I think that is everything inland. Thank you so much has come. I will absolutely support the motion as well. And I agree with you that I think. The point of raised the testifier really point to the needs for can a vigilance and mitigating some of the impacts of both construction you know, making sure that neighborhoods remain great places to And that's something that we can do at the same time as we
density. But it does require vigilance. So I appreciate your point. Any other. I'll take that as a motion to approve any discussion of the motion. All favor say Aye. And almost 7 in favor nor opposed - the resolution is adopted. Item, 22, this resolution public hearing. 25 dash one 81 approving the 3 some level various applications of University of Saint Thomas for U.S. T stadium create under him Call Football game series for Friday. SEPTEMBER 5th and 19th and OCTOBER 10 and Tuesday, OCTOBER, 21st, sincerity, OCTOBER 25th order to present life amplified sound at the University of Sint Thomas Stadium. 21 15 Summit Avenue. This is a public hearing. Is anyone here to speak on this item? Thank you. Council members,
PRESIDENT Maker. I'm Daniel Kennedy, 20 to 59 Summit Avenue and live nearby the stadium. Appeared earlier because Thomas has for 3 variances and 3 sixes success of dates and now they're asking for 9 more between this agenda item in the next agenda item. All 4 sound variances relating to the stadium. Legislative code to 94.1, 0, 7, These have requires that the council find that are being unreasonable hardship. That the applicant shows demonstrates to the council. There's nothing in this application about unreasonable hardship, not even that it's a good idea that to say they want one, there's no basis for this council to find in favor
of this applicant. Not only that, but that section requires that the council balance that claimed unreasonable hardship against the adverse impact that it will have on the community. I want to address both of those first. There is no hardship because football games have been at the stadium for decades without any variance. They've been doing it more recently with the variant so that they can have a louder more of a pro feel game. But that's not necessary. McAllister Concordia Hammond, they all have stadiums. They list with games and they don't request a variance and the city for their games. Tey have stadiums that are near residences to. This particular. Stadium is right across the street from homes, from the neighborhood. The sound resonates through the neighborhood. Carries a cross
to Minneapolis. There is simply no need for such a loud. Application system. When they quit. It's not insulated it all from the community, which is right there. Now, these particular items and number 22 are about games that aren't even Saint Thomas's games. They're renting the stadium out to creep in. First, this area is not zoned for rental rental, hoping to find as any space indoors or out that can be rented and it is not zoned for rent. Is it tour allowing somebody else to rent their stadium? Sir, you are a time. If you'd like to comeback in the next item. Welcome to. But I do need you to wrap up for now. Okay. I'll just say Crete and does have stadium and they could have 3 games there. So there's no urge to them. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Make sure to sign in. there anyone else here to speak on this item? Seeing none. I'll take a motion from is common to close the public
hearing all in favor say Aye. All oposed 7 in favor nor opposed the public hearing is closed. It's common. Thank council PRESIDENT Maker and to do it, MISTER Kennedy I I will move approval this resolution. We get. My office was able to go through and look today to confirm that the sound variance that was requested today has been requested and approved by the council in the past by Saint Thomas. I think that given the use of the football stadium for football games. It is an appropriate use that Scott fun to be acceptable in the past and very mindful of MR. Kennedy's points that we had a need to. Continue monitor the impact of having a d-one university in our present in a residential neighborhood.
Understanding that are likely to be consequences of that that we need to mitigate. I do think that this is an appropriate use of own variants for a limited amount of time on a limited number of Saturday's over the course of the fall. Thank you. It's going take that as a motion for approval. Discussion of the motion. Seeing none all in favor say Aye. 7 in favor nor opposed the resolution is adopted. Item. 23, U.S. Resolution public hearing. 25 Dash one 82. In the application of University of Saint Thomas for some of the variance in order to present and buy some on Saturdays, OCTOBER 4th, 18004th of NOVEMBER 1st and the 15th at 21 15 Summit Avenue o'Shaughnessy Stadium. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone here to speak on this item? So I have to split into 2.
Mission to closer Forgot my glasses anyway. In the back, I just want to say creeping is not at the one institution. They don't need. Anything more than a high school game. Now, this particular thing and regarding the one, there's nothing about division, one game that needs it to be louder and the division 3 game. There's absolutely nothing. That's not a justification for saying they can exceed and they haven't presented anything to you to say for this or the previous agenda items. This is an undue hardship. There's absolutely nothing they've been able to fill this stadium. Year after year after year without any variance. So it's not about whether the event will occur not. They will have an event.
It will be full. They will be loud. It's just a matter of how loud they are, whether they need to be more than the city deemed appropriate. The city has set a standard. There's no reason to exceed that sandard. If you have a basis for articulated stated for the record, why do they need to be louder? There is no reason in the application and you can just make one up. So I'm just asking that yu apply code that this city council has adopted and say no, you have to abide by the code unless you can show some reason why you don't hand. That's all I'm asking this. All the community is asking. We have a lot of games. It's not just a few games in the fall. It's every Saturday know every Tuesday and Thursday as well. With treatment. It's a lot. It's like somebody putting a headphone on your
had that you can take off. You're listening to a game about way to possibly. Every day that you're trying to tied. You have to understand how and knowing that is when you're trying to enjoy being outside. I just tested. You apply the standard that you've already set. There's no reason to vary from it. Just a plant. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone else here to testify on this item? Seeing none. Take a motion from is going to close the public hearing and approved. All in favor say Aye.

There was testimony from the about the conversation that was hd with the fire inspections manager the cases you will, because one where there was an arson fire, fire department arrived. Police department shortly thereafter. Best Pro City,
Florida contractor Cain. The Department of Safety and Inspections Fire turned over to scene to them. The manager, a fire inspections manager did talk with the owner. It appears that this is a case where people were communicating past one, another. The owner showed up after the doors had been secure, therefore doors 3 facing the street and one in the back. They had been screw shot. That is but te that's what they can voice in the case. However, they did talk about windows in getting the window secured and the manager to give additional time for the windows to be secure. They were secured that the board's that the owner had had in place at that time. So both things are correct. However,
the invoices, valid for the work that was done. Thank you as farm and any questions. All Seeing Tis is still okay. No, that was contest. All right. Let me thanks, council PRESIDENT And I appreciate the 2 weekly over from the council here. I did get a chance to connect with MarShon more for details about this and about the invoice. And I appreciate that. There was a final confirmation about what the invoice was for. It was fr getting the doors could which was done prior to owner driving. So I feel confident about looking approval of this. And I do notice that the property owner isn't here. So Marshall, you would be willing to just make sure that that is this is articulated to the property owner so that they
understand. Appreciate that because it it seemed like they came in with really strong feelings and the strong testimony about their experience. So thank you for doing that. Thanks, Matt. So the motion is for football. Let's that hearing officer's recommendation. A discussion of that motion. Seeing none all in favor say aye. Post. 7 a favor opposed the resolution is adopted. Item. 27 is our latest. He a 25 dash 2.96 ratifying the Peel Special Tax Assessor Property at 8.15, University Avenue hearing was closed to Landover Act AUGUST. 20th just too eager. This moment. That's PRESIDENT Council members. And this case, the council asked for some follow-up information with regard to 2 things. One is hw hard was involved in the cleanup of this site, which is a farmer, homeless encampment into less
the nature of the items that were cleared based on the summary abatement order. That is the cause of the assessment that's in front of the city Council. The ai community. I talked with David Holden. In fire, excuse the deputy director of the department as well as the supervisor Lisa Martin. The heart team was there. At a 50 university at the very beginning of APRIL. That was with the purpose clearing that the homeless encampment Hart and the police worked with the occupants in encampment. They ensured that the tense, the betting any other materials as well as the shopping carts were all removed. Those were removed by the occupants. I'm hearing. From heart, not by a city crew. So where there was testimony in my understanding that a city crew had taken action than they did not. Hart partnered with the people there. And the items were
removed. The actual cleanup that was in front of you still is. Had to do with 2 trailers full of garbage and scattered garbage throughout the site. Those items were considered distinct by the department when they reviewed the situation. They believe that those items are connected to the owner or tenants in space. But they did not. 2 there. Did not appear to them that those were items associated with the encampment itself. So 2 weeks later, an order is written for items that are not understood to be involved with the encampment. And we did have city staff helping to clear earlier. So my recommendation does remain unchanged in that in that I'm recommending
approval of this assessment. As just just one question. I know this was the situation where the property owner had talked about the fact that there was Something on the side and that he had rgularly cleaned it up in the past. And in this case believed that the second notice was referring to the note to the 2 weeks earlier cleanup, which he didn't believe he was responsible for and so ignored. It. I know I'd asked whether there was any record of the poperty owners vigilance in terms of cleaning up the property in the past to show whether or not he's generally responsive to these orders. Were we able to get any of that information? Yeah, we had some information in front of the council last week to explore. And I couldn't just reiterate that. When the homework was done preparatory to the legislative
hearing and new. The record shows there was dumb thing in 2023. That was cleaned up by the city. There's snow removal ordered in JANUARY of 23. It was eventually done by the owner, but there was an excessive consumption bill for not having it in the time period. In 2022, we had don't think and that order was sent to public Clearly there was a right of way connection probably on the alley side. And then 2022, we had a garbage. They took care of it. Owner took care of it. We also have another for garbage and something in 2021. So to my eyes, what I'm seeing is the city seems to have to order, think make orders a couple of times year for the property to be maintained.
That the owner takes care of most things and that dumb thing comes in about once a year as an issue that gets complained about to the city. Thanks, moment. Any other questions for MISS Mormon? Look to as Billy. Thank you, council PRESIDENT, thank you so Are suffer following up with high did not get a chance to connect Director Weezy. Are the heart team directly around what there? Protocol is. But I'm with given this case. You know, I am confident in. Just what was jurisdiction of like what Hart should be doing and what the role of a work order and how that was articulated to the owner. He well aware of it. I Well, in short, I plan approve. I guess the recommendation from from
you, Marcia, I do want to just say on record. I think this is a avenue where we can look to like our process procedure with the heart team because unfortunately cleaning up encampments have been a very common thing in our city and knowing that this area has had frequent encampment before it would be better are part of city. Also has a partner. Well, we're communicating with businesses around what is the role in a jurisdiction of like the heart was their responsibility? And I think the it is good to understand that they are there to partner with the occupants. Not they're doing work. Order are services, particularly of removing those items which would be, you know, all very, very blurry to who's trying to
figure out who's responsible. So in short, I definitely want to adopt. Our proves gives me the recommendation. But I also want to ensure that looking at policy in our practices that are just clear about what the guidelines are and responsibilities of our team. Thank you. MISS Billion. I agree with that wholeheartedly. So the motion to approve the recommendation of which the parents are. Any discussion of that motion seeing none all in favor say Aye.
