PRESENTATIONS
A) METRO TRANSIT NETWORK NOW CONCEPT PLAN
Cyndi Harper, Metro Transit, presented information on Metro Transit ridership, service, and the Network
Now concept plan.
Mayor Lavine commented that when driving in her vehicle she is still experiencing the same, or worse,
level of traffic post-pandemic.
Ms. Harper commented that the traffic patterns she displayed were reflective of transit ridership. She
commented that in terms of suburb traffic that remains the same, while the traffic within the major cities
has changed. She explained that there is increased flexibility in the times people are in the office during
the day, and on days of the week.
Councilor Paper asked how the ridership of Metro Transit compares to other transit in the area, such as
Minnesota Valley.
Ms. Harper commented that Metro Transit is the largest provider in the twin cities but is not the only
provider. She stated that the other providers have seen even more of a shift as they were bringing riders
from park and rides to downtown Minneapolis. She explained that in that scenario those people have
vehicles are choosing to use transit to avoid congestion or to avoid paying for parking, something that
would make driving inconvenient. She stated that with the exception of Minnesota Valley, the other
smaller providers have moved to the micro-transit model and do not provide all-day service.
Councilor Paper asked if any of the routes go to the industrial park.
Ms. Harper confirmed that the area was covered and described the paths of the different routes that traveled
through Mendota Heights.
Councilor Paper asked if the buses for the Mendota Heights microservice would stay within the zone.
Ms. Harper confirmed that the buses would stay within the zones. She stated that they would have at least
five vehicles and they would aim to keep wait times under 30 minutes. She stated that after the first six
months in North Minneapolis, they were able to increase the size of the zone as they had more information
on ridership and patterns. She anticipated that the additional zones would be able to expand as well.

November 19, 2024 Mendota Heights City Council Page 3 of 10
Councilor Paper commented that this looks like a reasonable service for this community as it will make
things more accessible, and it is more tailored to needs.
Ms. Harper commented that this service would run seven days per week from early in the morning to late
in the evening. She stated that the buses would use the payment services, including the tap system, and
riders could then connect to the other Metro Transit routes that would travel outside of the zone. She
commented that the app would handle the entire scheduling process from one service to another.
Councilor Paper asked if a rider could reach Target Field Station.
Ms. Harper commented that the fastest route would be on the blue line. She provided some options riders
could take.
Councilor Paper asked for details on people who may be interested in employment and whether a CDL is
required.
Ms. Harper commented that they will train applicants for their CDL. She stated that jobs are posted on
the Metro Transit website, noting that they are hiring. There are retention bonuses and people would
receive paid training to receive their CDL.
Councilor Mazzitello asked if it would be possible to stretch the bubble to Fort Snelling.
Ms. Harper commented that while they would like to do that, that is not something she can commit to as
of yet.
Councilor Mazzitello noted that on one of the maps, there was a light red or orange line that runs across
Highway 62 from the G line station to the airport and asked for more information.
Ms. Harper replied that is tentatively called Route 354, which is a new route, and described the path that
route would take.
Councilor Lorberbaum commented on the media attention that has been received stating that light rail
service is not safe. She stated that this microservice would seem to be seen as a safer option.
Ms. Harper commented that is the perspective they have heard from others as well. She stated that Metro
Transit has an extensive safety plan. She stated that microservice requires an account to book a ride,
which would provide the service with contact information. She commented that the microservice provides
an appropriate type of service in areas where there is not the best pedestrian walkway environment.
Mayor Lavine commented that it has always been difficult to get good data. She stated that people who
do not have a car simply cannot live here because of the lack of transit access. She commented that
previously it would take 2.5 hours to get from her home to downtown St. Paul because the route goes out
of the way to get to the destination. She stated that it would be nice to have the microservice area expanded
to get to the main hubs. She asked that the service area be reviewed to include the apartments and senior
apartments. She expressed thanks to the representatives from Metro Transit who were present tonight.

Scott Thompson, Metro Transit, commented that he started as an intern in 1976 and has been working
mostly in St. Paul for the last 30 years. He commented that micro transit will do a better job of serving
the needs of this community because of the lack of ridership for the larger routes. He reviewed his career
experience with Metro Transit and stated that he is honored and grateful to have had the opportunity to
work for this organization.
Mayor Lavine thanked Mr. Thompson for his service to the community and stated that they were honored
to be his last meeting before retirement.
PUBLIC HEARING
No items scheduled.
NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) ACCEPT THE RETIREMENT OF FIRE CHIEF DAVE DREELAND AND APPOINT DAN
JOHNSON AS FIRE CHIEF
City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson explained that the Council was being asked to accept the retirement
notice of Fire Chief Dave Dreelan and appoint Dan Johnson as Fire Chief for the City of Mendota Heights.
Fire Chief Dave Dreelan provided a story about his family’s involvement with the Mendota Heights Fire
Department as well as how he came to join the department himself. He stated that the fire department and
fire service have defined who he is, and it was important to leave the department with a legacy to someone
he knows and trusts. He thanked the citizens, the Council, City staff, as well as the past members of the
department that have built this legacy.
Fire Captain Dan Johnson thanked everyone for their support. He commented that as this process has
come to a close and the information has become public, it provided him with the opportunity to reflect on
his time in the department and the support he has received. He stated that the City Council has been
exceptional in its support for the department. He recognized that he will have huge shoes to fill and the
success they will achieve is because of the members in the department working together. He looked
forward to working with everyone and continuing to uphold the standard of service they provide to the
community.
Mayor Levine thanked the gentleman for their words, recognizing that they were not anticipating speaking
tonight. She stated that everyone in the community is thrilled with the service and leadership that the
department provides, recognizing that there are three Chiefs in the audience tonight.
Councilor Lorberbaum thanked the past, present and future Chiefs noting that the community not only
depends on the fire department but also trusts them.
Councilor Paper commented that these two gentleman are part of what makes the community great.
Councilor Mazzitello moved to accept THE RETIREMENT NOTICE OF FIRE CHIEF DAVE
DREELAN AND APPOINT DAN JOHNSON AS FIRE CHIEF FOR THE CITY OF MENDOTA
HEIGHTS.

B) PAVEMENT REHABILITATION APPROACH FOR THE FRIENDLY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD
IMPROVEMENTS
Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie provided a brief background on this item. The Council was being
asked to provide staff with direction on the pavement rehabilitation approach within the Friendly Hills
Neighborhood Improvements project.
Mayor Levine thanked staff for the additional analysis that was completed following the questions from
residents at the public hearing.
Councilor Paper stated that the Council requested more data, which staff gathered and presented in a clear
manner that will assist the Council in making their decision.
Councilor Mazzitello echoed the thoughts of staff, noting that this was an outstanding data collection and
presentation of information. He referenced the tables shown within the Council packet comparing the
assessment estimates for the options and stated that with that information he did not think they would want
to go with the split assessment type method. He noted the life expectancy for full-depth reclamation
(FDR) of 20+ years, while the mill and overlay would have a life expectancy of 15 years. He commented
that the street plan is a 25-year cycle, noting that the last cycle took 28 years to get through. He stated
that the FDR would align with that cycle while the mill and overlay would have a ten-to-15-year window
before the street was repaired again, and only provide cost savings to residents of about $1,500 in the
assessment amount.
Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie stated that the assessment payment term would be ten years and
therefore residents would only have a short break without assessment if the mill and overlay option were
chosen.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that he expected more residents to attend tonight and asked if there is
another opportunity to explain this to residents.
Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie replied that notice was not sent to residents directly for this meeting
and the intent was to gather input from the Council and then hold a neighborhood meeting in January and
again in April.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that he would be interested in the input of residents if that is possible.
Mayor Levine stated that if they were to proceed with the mill and overlay on some of the roads and equal
assessments were done, they would be doing another mill and overlay on the same streets in 12 to 15 years
and only the residents receiving the mill and overlay would be charged a second time which is not
equitable.
Page 7 of 270
November 19, 2024 Mendota Heights City Council Page 6 of 10
Councilor Mazzitello commented that when they go back to the subdivision, a surface treatment would be
done on the entire subdivision and not just the mill and overlay portion. He stated that the risk residents
are being asked to take is a potential 12-year window of the pavement condition deteriorating very rapidly.
Mayor Levine asked if Councilor Mazzitello would then not support the second mill and overlay.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that would be up to the engineering staff and Council at that time. He
noted that if they followed the plan they would not come back to this area for 25 years.
Mayor Levine stated that Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie stated that if the mill and overlay were
done, another mill and overlay would be needed in 2038 as the pavement would not last.
Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie stated that if the mill and overlay timeframe were used, they would
most likely need to work a second mill and overlay into their capital plan for 2038. He recognized that
would add challenges to the plan and incorporate portions of streets for mill and overlay. He noted that if
that were done, they would assess parcels that have driveway access on the street. He stated that it would
be challenging to go with an equal assessment at this time and then only assess certain properties in 2038.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that it is the double edge of the risk if the mill and overlay were chosen.
He stated that the first risk is a potential assessment for a second mill and overlay in 13 years, or the roads
would continue to deteriorate until the 25-year mark.
Mayor Levine referenced the statement that the mill and overlay might be challenging because of the
changes in depth throughout the project area. She stated that experts are stating the pavement is uneven,
there would likely be a second mill and overlay in 2038, and a segment of the residents in that area would
then be charged a second assessment. She stated that the Council is elected to make decisions for the
community and requested that the Council make the decision based on the information presented by the
experts. She stated that engineering is recommending the FDR, and she would recommend following that
recommendation.
Councilor Lorberbaum stated that the Council and staff have heard the requests of the neighborhood, have
done the research, and it would then be appropriate to direct staff to proceed with a design they could
present to residents. She suggested using the original design for 2025 and 2026.
Councilor Paper stated that he would be inclined to move forward with the way the project was proposed
based on the information presented.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that he could support either design and construction methods. He stated that
his only point was that the residents asked them to look into this and was unsure that the residents received
the results.
Councilor Lorberbaum commented that information can then be provided to the residents.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that the residents will see the lesser assessment but perhaps may not
understand what that means. He stated that the FDR will very likely get them through the 25-year window,
Page 8 of 270
November 19, 2024 Mendota Heights City Council Page 7 of 10
while the mill and overlay would most likely not. He stated that he just wanted to understand that the
neighborhood understands the risk of taking the lesser assessment.
Mayor Levine asked who would be requesting the smaller assessment.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that most of the public does not understand the engineering of repairing
a street and may simply desire the lesser-cost option. He stated that the Council can vote to move forward
with a design process and then explain the design process at the next open house.
Councilor Lorberbaum stated that is what she would propose.
Mayor Levine invited a member of the public to speak.
Councilor Paper commented that the mill and overlay will save money upfront to spend more later, noting
that the cost that will be spent later is unknown. He stated that if it is stretched out this neighborhood
would become patchwork again, with constant repairs.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that the big reason this area needs these repairs is because of the decision
made by the Council 25 years ago and the watermain work that has been done to repair breaks.
John Maczko, Councilmember Elect, stated that he lives in this neighborhood and noted that he was the
one at the public hearing who made the comment that drove this research. He stated that FDR is almost
like a road reconstruction, which is very aggressive, and it is no doubt that it is the Cadillac of road
restoration. He stated that most cities in the area do not complete an FDR after 25 years and simply do a
mill and overlay. He stated that this was a great report presented by staff, but noted that there are many
experts. He stated that this is about being fiscally right in what they do and how they make decisions. He
stated that he agreed with Councilor Mazzitello and believed that any overlay would last more than 12
years. He noted that these are local residential streets with a lower volume of traffic. He stated that this
project is larger than Friendly Hills with different streets of different ages and infrastructure needs. He
provided information on the cycles of other communities. He did not doubt that an FDR would be the
easiest and provide the best product but did not believe that is the standard needed every 20 years. He
recognized that the ultimate decision is that of the Council and that he would not have a vote until January,
but stated that if he had a vote, he would vote against an FDR. He stated that the original report from
Braun did not recommend FDR and in the second report Braun was told that FDR would be the project,
and the report was developed as such. He commented that $1,500 is a lot of savings for residents in the
Friendly Hills area as those are not million-dollar homes. He stated that the mill and overlay option would
result in a $1,100,000 savings between the assessments and City paid portion of the project.
Councilor Lorberbaum asked how Mr. Maczko would address the varying assessment if FDR is not
chosen.
Mr. Maczko commented that they are all in this together and the neighborhood should be assessed equally
regardless of the improvement that is completed. He stated that Delaware Crossing is an entirely different
neighborhood but has been lumped into this project. He stated that his preference for mill and overlay is
based on the practices of other communities and the Local Road Research Board, as well as his 40 years
of experience.
Page 9 of 270
November 19, 2024 Mendota Heights City Council Page 8 of 10
Councilor Mazzitello commented that he would hope it is not the intent of the City to reclaim a road every
25 years. He stated that if FDR were done, the subsequent project would be a mill and overlay.
City Engineer Ryan Ruzek stated that the issue they have run into in the past with mill and overlay projects
and the City assessment process is that residents feel they own the roadway. He commented that residents
are extremely unhappy with the results of the mill and overlay as cracks appear within the first year, which
is why the FDR was proposed. He stated that an overlay was not considered as they believed that all the
water infrastructure was going to be replaced. He commented that staff will prepare the project for
whatever option the Council chooses. He stated that he would be concerned with a mill and overlay on
Decorah. He stated that staff still believe that FDR is the best treatment for this neighborhood.
Mayor Levine referenced a statement from Mr. Maczko that a mill and overlay could last 20 years, but
also recognized that the FDR could last over 25 years.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that the geotechnical report is very conservative and states the lifespan of the
FDR would be 20+ years while the mill and overlay would be 12 to 15 years.
Mayor Levine commented that if the FDR were done, they would not need to touch those streets for
another 25 years. She referenced a comment made by Mr. Maczko that the lifespan of a road is 40 years
and stated that perhaps this project is then not needed.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that according to the Local Road Research Board, the lifespan of a
newly constructed road is 50 to 70 years. He stated that Friendly Hills did not make it for a number of
reasons, which included the watermain breaks. He stated that another reason that lifespan was not reached
is because it was not built well, noting varying pavement thicknesses. He stated that there is an argument
for FDR and an argument for mill and overlay, noting that he could support either option but wants to
make sure residents are informed of the information the Council received.
Councilor Lorberbaum commented that the City has completed its cycle for the road repairs throughout
the community and they are back to the start. She stated that based on very limited data, she asked if this
same decision would be presented for the next project or whether this project has uniqueness.
City Engineer Ryan Ruzek commented that they will run into this decision quite frequently and the
decision made tonight will be a precedent moving forward. He stated that the geotechnical reports are
completed and a recommendation is provided by Braun for all projects, noting that staff does not dictate
the type of project before that work is done to determine the needs.
Councilor Lorberbaum stated that this is not just then a decision for this project but would set a precedent
for the cycle.
Mayor Levine commented that they are setting a policy, and the policy was an FDR after the 25-year
cycle. She stated that the Council will need to make the determination if that policy is still what they want
to follow.
Page 10 of 270
November 19, 2024 Mendota Heights City Council Page 9 of 10
Councilor Mazzitello commented that when looking at the 50-to-70-year lifespan for the road, if the
maintenance is completed, a mill and overlay is completed at ten to 12 years, again in another ten to 12
years, and then an FDR is done in the next ten to 12 years. He noted that there would then be two more
mill and overlays completed in that cycle with reconstruction after that. He stated that Friendly Hills did
not follow that lifespan, which is why they are where they are.
Councilor Lorberbaum asked if the future roads have or have not followed that lifespan.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that this question will come forward for probably the next six projects
because he could not verify the construction quality of when they were built. He stated that the project
should have had consistent pavement and aggregate thickness, which it did not.
City Engineer Ryan Ruzek commented that each neighborhood will be unique in the geotechnical reports
and utilities, but this could continue to be a factor.
Councilor Mazzitello reviewed the mission of the City to provide a quality of life through services and
infrastructure, which include premier infrastructure and services. He asked the quality answer in this
scenario. He stated that unfortunately, that answers the question. He stated that for over 30 years he has
watched governmental entities Band-Aid things. He highly doubted that every subdivision would require
an FDR from here on out and believed the decision would be easy if they followed the mission statement
of the City.
Mayor Levine appreciated the input from everyone and summarized the consensus to direct staff to move
forward with the FDR option as originally presented. She asked that the City be clear with its message
on the decision to ensure residents are appropriately informed. She recognized that this is not a policy
decision on future road improvement and that decisions will continue to be based on the data and
recommendations for the best method of improvement.
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson announced upcoming community events and activities.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilor Paper wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

providing exceptional service, noting recent awards received. She thanked the Executive Director for the
service she has provided, recognizing a future retirement. She shared a quote for Thanksgiving.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that there was a spirited discussion tonight which makes them such great
decision makers. He stated that the first snowfall of the season may occur the following day and provided
some words of wisdom for safe driving. He asked residents to shovel out hydrants for fire safety. He also
shared information on the reason Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are so close together, reminding
residents to be thankful for those who sacrificed for the freedoms they have.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
DRAFT Minutes of the City Council Work Session
Tuesday, November 19, 2024
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a work session of the Mendota Heights City Council was
held at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Levine called the work session to order at 5:00 pm. Councilors Lorberbaum, Mazzitello,
and Paper was also present. Councilor Miller was absent.
Others present included: City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson, Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek,
Finance Director Kristen Schabacker, Natural Resources Coordinator Krista Spreiter, Community
Development Manager Sarah Madden, Park and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director
Meredith Lawrence, City Attorney Amy Schmidt, City Attorney Leah Koch, Councilmember Elect
John Maczko, and City Clerk Nancy Bauer.
PARTNERS IN ENERGY – ENERGY ACTION PLAN (DRAFT)
Natural Resources Coordinator Krista Spreiter provided an update on the Mendota Heights
Energy Action Team's efforts over the past six months to develop a comprehensive citywide
energy action plan. If adopted, the plan will serve as a roadmap for the city’s energy initiatives
over the next 18 months.
Spreiter explained that the effort is part of Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy program, a two-year
initiative designed to help communities establish and achieve their energy goals. The Energy
Action Team brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, including residents, students,
commission members, county officials, and city staff, to craft the plan.
Representatives from Xcel Energy—Paolo Sperin, Ana De La Torre, and Sophie Troutman—
presented details of the proposed plan. They emphasized its goal of promoting energy efficiency,
renewable energy use, and beneficial electrification across the city’s residents, businesses, and
municipal operations. The overarching objective is to build a more energy-resilient community.
Sperin highlighted the targets of the program. By 2030, Mendota Heights aims to save
approximately $1.6 million through energy efficiency initiatives and prevent the emission of
9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e). This reduction is equivalent to
removing 200 gas-powered cars from the roads annually through the decade.
The presentation outlined strategies for achieving these goals in four focus areas: residential
energy efficiency, business and municipal energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and
beneficial electrification. Discussions touched on approaches to engage local businesses, funding
mechanisms, educational outreach, and the role of solar projects in achieving these objectives.

Councilor Lorberbaum expressed gratitude to the Xcel representatives for their efforts and
detailed presentation.
Mayor Levine inquired about the plan's next steps. Troutman responded that the plan is
scheduled to be presented for approval at the December 3, 2024, City Council meeting, provided
there are no substantial changes or new feedback. She encouraged written feedback from
stakeholders before the meeting.
CANNABIS ORDINANCE
Community Development Manager Madden reviewed the updates to the draft cannabis
ordinance. The draft ordinance was modeled after the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM)
model ordinance for the registration of a cannabis business. Madden noted that the draft
ordinance does include modifications to the Zoning Ordinance use chart to incorporate the new
uses.
The council asked about buffers and their application to or from a bordering city. Attorney Koch
stated buffers would be measured within the city. The state statute allowed buffers from parks
and schools were reviewed.
Mayor Levine stated she would like a cannabis business to be located in the industrial area.
Attorney Koch stated that the cap in the state statute was for cannabis retail businesses.
Councilors agreed that cannabis retail business should be removed from the MUPUD district in
the zoning use chart.
Attorney Koch reported that the OCM administrative rules are anticipated to go into effect
early/mid 2025 and not the January 2025 timeline as originally expected.
City Administrator Jacobson asked for information regarding the OCM licensing process for
cannabis businesses. Attorney Koch said the state will look at potential applications to license
cannabis businesses. She noted that a good registration ordinance would be recommended to
help the city maintain some of the power that cities have been granted.
Community Development Manager Madden stated she would need to come back to the council
with a registration ordinance and noted that performance standards could be listed in the
registration ordinance.
Councilor Mazzitello asked if someone were to apply for a cannabis business registration with
the city, would they need to apply to the OCM first for a license. Community Development
Manager Madden stated yes.
Councilor Lorberbaum asked if the city should be planning on doing random checks on a
cannabis business. Attorney Koch replied that the city is required to do one compliance check
per calendar year for age verification compliance. Community Development Manager Madden
stated the compliance check is in the draft ordinance. Attorney Koch said that there is an
expedited complaint form that could be sent to OCM also.
Page 14 of 270
November 19, 2024, Mendota Heights City Council Work Session Minutes Page - 3
Mayor Levine verified that Community Development Manager Madden had enough direction to
update the draft ordinance. It was recommended by Attorney Koch that the draft ordinance be
approved first then a registration ordinance be drafted.
Community Development Manager Madden stated that a public hearing on the draft ordinance
will be held at the Planning Commission meeting on November 26, 2024, on the zoning use chart
portion of the draft ordinance. The draft ordinance then will be presented to the City Council at
their December 17, 2024, meeting.
CITY HALL – POLICE STATION VISIONING
City Administrator Jacobson provided background on the need to align the police
department/city hall building project with a clear vision that reflects the community’s needs and
values. She stated that what was being asked of the council was for them to provide input on
what key elements they believe should be incorporated into a municipal campus.
Councilor Mazzitello asked if the existing city hall could provide for the needs of the police
department. Chief McCarthy responded that it could generally but one of the needs is more
means of ingress and egress among a host of other issues.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that the police department is out of date and out of space. He added
that what residents like about the existing building is its residential location and that it looks like
a residential building.
Councilor Lorberbaum said she is looking for something with a stamp of approval. Lorberbaum
described here STAMP acronym noting that S – safe for the public and staff as well as healthy,
T –technology -the must provide tools that are needed, A – accessible, M – modern built for the
future, P – proud (all stakeholders are proud when walking into city hall).
Councilor Paper would like a building built on the ballfield so that no additional rent would be
paid while the building is built. He noted that residents do appreciate having their own police
department and the cost of construction does not go down. He stated that the building is long
past due for a remodel.
Councilor-elect John Maczko stated that when the existing building was built it was built to add
on where the solar panels are. He recalled that there was extensive community input when it was
built. He stated that a city hall should be on this site and that the footprint needs to be guided by
what the needs are.
Councilor Mazzitello said he did see a scenario for keeping the building and adding an addition
where the police department moves into the addition. The downstairs then could be repurposed.
What this scenario would not solve is the ingress and egress issue.
Mayor Levine stated there will be a task force and community input for this issue. She likes the
building but does not like that residents can’t find the police department easily. She noted the
communal space in the center of city hall. She noted her love for the council chambers and
stated it is one of the best she has seen.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
DRAFT Minutes of the City Council Work Session
Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a work session of the Mendota Heights City Council was
held at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Levine called the work session to order at 6:15 p.m. Councilors Lorberbaum, Mazzitello,
Miller (left at 8:00 pm), and Paper was also present.
Parks and Recreation Commissioners present: Jaffrey Blanks (arrived 6:22 pm), Stephanie Meyer,
Michelle Muller, Jo Schifsky, Dan Sherer, Jennifer Weichert, and student representative
Evangeline Fuentes. Michael Toth was absent.
Others present included: City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson, Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek,
Park and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence, Recreation Program
Coordinator Willow Eisfeldt, and City Clerk Nancy Bauer.
Leon Younger, Brad Aldrich, and Mo Convery of Confluence/PROS Consulting were also present.
PARKS SYSTEM MASTER PLAN UPDATE
Park and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence reported that
Confluence/Pros was hired in January to prepare a Mendota Heights Park System Master Plan.
They have been working on a non-biased audit of the Mendota Heights parks. The consultants
are here to present their initial findings for the 15-year plan.
Brad Aldrich presented a PowerPoint summarizing the progress of the Parks System Master
Plan, which has completed its first three phases: needs assessment, community engagement, and
an analysis of existing and future needs. He explained that the plan is a high-level system
analysis aimed at evaluating the overall park system. The findings revealed that the parks are
geographically well-distributed, with a minor gap in the southwest area of the city. While the
parks are well-maintained, there is a lack of balance in amenities, along with a clear need for
accessibility improvements and greater diversity in park features.
A comparative analysis of core amenities showed that Mendota Heights meets or exceeds
national standards in areas like ball diamonds, pickleball courts, tennis courts, playgrounds, and
basketball courts. However, it falls short in providing indoor recreation space and maintaining
trails. Additionally, the city has slightly less park acreage per resident than the national standard,
particularly in neighborhood parks, but it far exceeds the standard for open spaces. Aldrich

Page - 2
emphasized that this does not necessitate acquiring more parkland, as the city is close to meeting
the standard.
The benchmark analysis compared Mendota Heights to similar cities, including Golden Valley,
MN; Green River, WY; New Brighton, MN; New Hope, MN; and West St. Paul, MN.
Consultant Leon Younger provided insights into park system maintenance and staffing, noting
that the city’s staffing levels align with the Midwest average of one parks maintenance employee
per 32 acres.
Mayor Levine expressed interest in understanding how local athletic associations influence
staffing needs. Younger explained that such associations are typically not included in staffing
analyses but acknowledged their significant role in programming.
Younger also reviewed the program assessment, identifying areas for improvement, such as
expanding age-specific programs for preschoolers and older adults, diversifying offerings, and
addressing capacity and staffing challenges. He recommended leveraging partnerships to expand
capacity, creating pricing and cost-recovery strategies, standardizing customer service, and using
data to guide decisions and measure performance.
Mo Convery reported on the results of community engagement. In Phase 1, participants
highlighted the importance of preserving the parks’ existing scale and character while improving
trail connections and diversifying amenities. Phase 2, conducted between July and October with
594 respondents, focused on gauging support for expanded funding to address community-
identified priorities. These priorities included adding indoor community space, improving
accessibility, developing a new park on the city’s west side, and pursuing a general parks
referendum. While the survey results were not statistically valid, most respondents expressed
willingness to support funding increases, with 67% favoring at least one level of tax increase
ranging from $8 to $22 per month.
The community’s top funding priorities centered on accessibility improvements, safe trail
connections, and expanded programming and staffing. A preference for enhancements over new
development emerged, alongside a strong recognition of the park system’s value to the
community. Specific focus groups provided additional insights, with active adults prioritizing
trail accessibility and indoor gathering spaces, accessibility advocates emphasizing adaptive
features, and sports groups seeking upgrades to fields and facilities.
Discussions also touched on future steps for the plan. Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public
Works Director Lawrence explained that the next phase involves finalizing the 95% draft of the
plan, distributing it for public comment, and ultimately submitting it to the City Council for
approval.
Mayor Levine inquired about integrating the plan with the city’s Capital Improvement Plan,
while Councilor Mazzitello raised questions about balancing the maintenance of existing
facilities with new projects stemming from community feedback.
Lawrence confirmed that the master plan aims to remain flexible and adaptable to ongoing and
future needs.

The meeting concluded with discussions about exploring partnerships, learning from neighboring
cities like West St. Paul, and incorporating accessibility standards into park projects. The next
steps include releasing the draft plan to the public and ensuring it serves as a guiding document
for the city’s park system over the next 15 years.
ADJOURNMENT
Councilor Paper made a motion to adjourn the meeting, and it was seconded by Councilor
Mazzitello. Motion passed 4-0.
The meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Community Waste Abatement Agreement with Dakota County
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation CONTACT: Meredith Lawrence, Parks
and Recreation/Assistant
Public Works Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve the 2025 Community Waste Abatement Grant Agreement allowing the City to
continue to receive reimbursement funding from Dakota County for waste abatement services
provided by the city and authorize the City Administrator, to act as the authorized signer, to
execute the 2025 grant agreement for community waste abatement.
BACKGROUND:
Mendota Heights is proposed to receive approximately $28,600 in community funding from
Dakota County in 2025 to assist in its recycling efforts. Funding for 2025 will go towards
residential communications, municipal facilities/park verification and education, special
collections, multifamily recycling, reduce/reuse activities and in-person education, and event
recycling and organics collection.
There is one minor change to the County grant in 2025 based on the signing status of the
grant document from previous years. Since the City of West Saint Paul acts as the fiscal agent,
the document now clarifies each city's role under the agreement, since the obligations to
provide grant funding and to perform the grant tasks are limited to the County and West St.
Paul. For example, the change clarifies that Mendota Heights does not have the reporting and
performance obligations required under the agreement. It does not change the funding or
activities that will be performed for the cities. Staff has reviewed this change for 2025 and is
comfortable with it.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Funding has been included in the FY2025 preliminary budget.

EXHIBIT “A”
SCOPE OF PROJECT.
This project consists of creek stabilization and water quality management project along lines 0808/5577 (115 kV) between
STR’s 22-23 and STR’s 24-25. The project involves excavation for a proposed infiltration basin and grading/profile adjustment
of an existing creek within the easement of Transmission lines 0808 and 5577. The proposed project meets Xcel Energy’s
standards, provided the following conditions are adhered to:
(1)Excavation close to structure location.
A minimum distance of 20 feet of supported earth must be maintained from any part of the line structure. Support
of the ground beyond the 20 feet may be provided by a slope no greater than three feet horizontal to one foot vertical.
Support may also be provided by the use of cribbing, sheet piling, retaining wall or tunneling. The specific plan for
providing the required support and the excavation plan for the proposed project must be submitted to Xcel Energy
for review and approval prior to construction start.
(2)Grade change around structure location.
Fill around or above the structure is not permitted. The grade around the structures must provide for surface water
runoff – no surface water ponding around structures will be permitted. Any cost related to the adjustment of Xcel
Energy’s facilities will be at the requestor’s expense.
*Grading Plans “IVC_DA167782 PLANS - 60%_STR 22-23 BASIN GRADING” have been reviewed and
approved.
(3)Grade change within easement.
The ground elevation within the Easement Area shall not be increased above the existing grade. Stockpiling of soil
and/or material within the Easement Area will not be permitted. Any proposed grade changes required for the site
driveway must be reviewed and approved by Xcel Energy prior to the start of construction.
(4)Clearances to equipment and workers – Transmission Lines 0808/5577 115 kV
Any construction activities occurring near the transmission line(s) shall comply with all OSHA Safety Clearances.
If these clearances cannot be maintained, the contractor or developer must request a line outage by calling Xcel
Energy's System Operations Department. Outages are not guaranteed. If an outage is possible, adequate advanced
notice must be provided in order to schedule the line outage.
•The applicable clearance value for Cranes & Equipment from Table 1 below, according to the specific voltage, is
required at all times between the energized electrical conductors and any cranes or equipment used in construction
activities.
•The applicable clearance value for Unqualified Workers from Table 1 below, according to the specific voltage, is

Page 77 of 270
The OSHA requirements in this section must be included on the plan sets and specifications given to contractors.
(5)Building on easements.
There shall be no additional permanent or temporary buildings allowed within the easement area, without prior
written approval from Xcel Energy.
(6)Fuel and refueling on easements.
There shall be no fuel tanks stored or refueling of vehicles and equipment within the easement.
(7) Streetlights and signs on easements.
If there are to be streetlights, signboards, identification signs or any other type of non-building structure within the
easement, detailed plans must be submitted to Xcel Energy prior to construction for review and approval to verify
compliance with electrical code clearances prior to construction start.
Metallic structures must be properly grounded. The same working clearance criteria as stated in paragraph (4) also
applies, for equipment used to erect and install light standards, sign boards, etc. Any metallic structure, pole, wire
or item placed in the vicinity of a high-voltage transmission line will have the potential to become electrically charged
due to electrical induction. The development of an electric charge results in a potential difference between the metal
installation and the ground, which can result in electrical shocks when the item is touched. Placement of such metallic
installation should take into consideration the shock potential during the; construction, intended use AND future
maintenance activities. Items which become charged must be connected to a grounding rod or grounding system to
prevent shocks.
(8)Notification.
Prior to the start of construction and following project completion, the requestor or contractor must notify Xcel
Energy. Please contact Seth Wight at (612) 342-8926, or by email at seth.j.wight@xcelenergy.com
It is the express condition of this consent that all other terms and conditions of that certain easement shall remain in full force
and effect.
NOTICE REGARDING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Requester understands and agrees that pursuant to the
foregoing consent provisions, Xcel Energy is not liable for any damages it or any other party may cause to the improvements
authorized herein.

November 6, 2024, City Council meeting. Staff were notified of an error within the Assessment
Roll; specifically, a duplication of the property at 616 Maple Park Drive, PID #: 271785000040,
in which the previous Assessment Roll identified this parcel to be assessed as both a single-
family unit and a townhome unit. Staff reviewed the error and confirmed the property at 616
Maple Park Drive should only be included as a single unit within the Assessment Roll based on
the driveway access and property size. The previous Assessment Roll was revised to only
include this property as a single unit with the City absorbing the additional 0.44 units assigned
previously to 616 Maple Park Drive.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

AGENDA ITEM: Approve a Change Order from DreamScapes Landscaping & Design for the
Ivy Falls Retaining Wall Repair Project
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Engineering CONTACT: Lucas Ritchie, Asssitant City
Engineer
Ryan Ruzek, Public Works
Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve a change order from DreamScapes Landscaping & Design for the Ivy Falls Retaining
Wall Repair project in a not to exceed amount of $11,984.71
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved a quote for the Ivy Falls Retaining Wall repair from DreamScapes
Landscaping at its August 7, 2024, meeting for an amount of $37,131.96 to repair an existing
wall that had fallen over and was no longer working effectively or in a safe condition.
Construction of the wall repair began the week of November 4, 2024, and staff were notified
of an issue on November 14, pertaining to the number of blocks required to construct the
wall. The existing wall was a smaller, CMU-style block that allowed for the base blocks to step
and cater to the topography more consistently, as the length of each block was significantly
smaller. Throughout, the length of the wall has 42” of elevation drop, which required the
contractor to alter the original design to provide an adequate base block to make up the
elevation difference and support the wall above. The contractor has identified the need and
quantity of the additional blocks and is included with the attached extra for an amount of
$11,984.71.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The change order costs for the retaining wall repair to DreamScapes Landscaping & Design is
for a not to exceed amount of $11,984.71. The additional wall repair costs would be funded
through a portion of the remaining Water Tower utility fund and stormwater utility fund.

MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Award Contract for VFD and SCADA at Main Lift Station
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CONTACT: John Boland, Public Works
Superintendent
ACTION REQUEST:
1. Award a contract to Total Control Inc. for $31,725 for the installation of Variable Frequency
Drive Units, and upgrade the panel for SCADA connectivity; and
2. Award a contract to Total Construction Inc. for 11,370 for additional electrical costs.
BACKGROUND:
The City has a sewage lift station at 1375 Mendota Heights Road. This is the main lift station
for the Industrial Park.
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) units are designed to provide energy efficiency in electric
motors by optimizing acceleration, deceleration, and top end speed of the motors. They will
reduce both energy costs, and provide a longer life for the motors and infrastructure
associated with the lift station. Presently, this lift station has significant water hammer when
the pumps shut down. The VFD’s will allow the motor to decelerate enough before shutting
down to limit this water hammer, providing less wear on the motors, valves, and piping in the
station. This past summer, the City installed a SCADA system for the new panels installed at
two of our other lift stations, and this one will be connected at the same time as the VFD’s to
provide data and alarm issues directly to staff.
Total Control Inc. installed the present SCADA system, and designed the VFD equipment
needed for this station.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Cost of VFD equipment and Installation: $17,206
Cost to upgrade panel to SCADA: $14,519
Additional electrical costs through Total Construction Inc.: $11,370

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Approve Online Tee Time Reservation Software
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation CONTACT: Meredith Lawrence, Parks
and Recreation/Assistant
Public Works Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve ForeUP as the Online Tee Time Reservation Software for the Mendota Heights Par 3
Community Golf Course and authorize the City Administrator to execute the contract.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2025 budget discussion, adding online tee time reservation software at the
Mendota Heights Par 3 Community Golf Course was a priority. To implement the new system
for the 2025 season, staff have reviewed three online tee time software systems, in addition to
meeting with municipal golf course professionals for their input on the success and usage of
the software at their course.
Staff has determined that the ForeUP golf software best fits the Mendota Heights Par 3
Community Golf Course. ForeUP features a modern, cloud-based, comprehensive golf course
system. The software is accessible from any device, from anywhere and is currently used by
over 2,300 golf courses nationwide. The software will provide an updated Point of Sale (POS)
System and Text/Emailing Marketing opportunities for customers.
Staff worked with the vendor to finalize a contract for services. The vendor provides two
options for payment of services:
1.Monthly Use Fee of $320: the city would be invoiced monthly and the contract includes
an initial term of 24 months (annual total of $3,840); or
2.Inventory Exchange: the city would provide two tee times per day (up to eight golfers
per day) in exchange for free usage of the software. ForeUP would retain all revenue
from these two tee times per day.
Page 105 of 270
On average, the golf course is open approximately 210 days per season. Staff has analyzed the
potential lost revenue if the City moved forward with the inventory exchange below:
1 player per day on ForeUp: (210 x $16=$3,360)
2 players per day on ForeUp: (420 x $16=$6,720)
3 players per day on ForeUp: (630 x $16=$10,080)
4 players per day on ForeUp: (840 x $16=$13,440)
5 players per day on ForeUp: (1,050 x $16=$16,800)
6 players per day on ForeUp: (1,260 x $16= $20,160)
7 players per day on ForeUp: (1,470 x $16= $23,520)
8 players per day on ForeUp: (1,680 x $16=$26,880)
Based on the analysis, staff recommends moving forward with the monthly use fee option. Staff
believes implementation of the online tee time software will increase rounds at the golf course
which will more than cover the cost of the new software.
Upon approval from the Council, staff would begin the implementation process to have the
software up and running for the 2025 season. The typical implementation timeline is one
month. The City would begin paying the monthly fee in February 2025.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
ForeUP will cost $320 per month for the 2025 season. There are sufficient funds in the golf
course budget to cover the costs of this expense.

doing sprinkler system plan review and inspection, and would provide the department with a
highly trained, in-house resource for the robust fire inspection process being led by our Fire
Marshal Joe King.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The cost of this course is fully covered by the National Fire Academy (NFA), and the NFA
provides housing for students while on campus to attend the course. The only cost to the City
would be airfare for travel to and from the course, and for students representing qualified
government agencies (such as our fire department), the airfare expense is expected to be fully
reimbursable through FEMA upon successful completion of the course.
Transportation: Round-trip airfare is estimated at $500.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Approve the Purchase of a Standby Generator for the Par 3 Clubhouse
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation CONTACT: Meredith Lawrence, Parks
and Recreation/Assistant
Public Works Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve the purchase of a standby generator for the Mendota Heights Par 3 Community
Clubhouse.
BACKGROUND:
In the past three years the golf course has had more than a dozen incidents when the
clubhouse has lost power due to a power outage. The golf course property has overhead
powerlines, which are more susceptible to power outages than underground lines. In the winter
when there is an outage, staff are called in to turn on temporary heaters to ensure the pipes in
the exterior walls do not freeze. In the last three years, this has been a change in operations
due to the clubhouse being used for recreation programs in the off-season and not being
winterized. During the warm months when there is an outage, the course is not able to accept
credit card payments. On busy days, this can result in a substantial amount of lost revenue for
the course, as a large majority of payments are made via credit card.
As the course moves to an online tee time system in 2025, it will be more important than ever
that staff has access to the online tee sheets to successfully provide continuation of services if
there is a power outage. A backup generator has been included in past Capital Improvement
Plans but has been deferred due to more pressing needs like mowers, HVAC replacement and
facility safety upgrades. With the Par 3 showing an estimated $63,500 operating surplus at the
end of September, staff feels it is the right time to move forward with the installation of a
standby generator at the clubhouse prior to the 2025 season.
Staff has received two quotes for the 18kw Generac natural gas generator and installation:
Allied Generators--$12,110
Page 109 of 270
Mid-Northern Services--$14,380
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Staff recommends that the Council approve the purchase of the gerenator and installation by
Allied Generators for $12,110. There is sufficient funds in the Par 3 Fund to cover this
expenditure.

Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 5
INTRODUCTION
About This Plan
This Energy Action Plan is a roadmap to strategically guide Mendota Heights’ action in a
manner that supports the community goal to save $1.6 million for residents and businesses and
avoid 9,000 MTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (that’s like removing over 2,100
gas-powered cars from the road for a single year!).
The goals and strategies outlined in this plan were developed collaboratively with a group of
stakeholders, referred to as the Energy Action Team, through five planning workshops
conducted between February and August 2024. The Energy Action Team included Mendota
Heights residents, Commission members and City staff (see Acknowledgements for full list of
participants). Team members coordinated throughout the process to share information and
identify potential opportunities for partnership during implementation. See Appendix A: Xcel
Energy’s Partners in Energy Planning ProcessAppendix A: Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy
Planning Process for more information about the planning process and Xcel Energy Partners in
Energy.
Mendota Heights joined more than 30 other Minnesota and Wisconsin communities that have
developed Energy Action Plans through Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy, an offering that
provides resources for community energy planning. Partners in Energy also supports 18 months
of plan implementation in the form of marketing and communications, data tracking and
analysis, program expertise, and project management.
Why an Energy Action Plan
The City of Mendota Heights and its residents are committed to building a resilient future.
Robust efforts are being made to create a more energy efficient and sustainable city — this
Energy Action Plan will help guide the community in achieving its goals.
Climate trends suggest that in the next 50 years, Mendota Heights will experience more severe
weather events, which are expected to have substantial impacts on public health. Climate-

resilient communities can prevent the worst public health and economic impacts by adapting the
built environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
To help reduce Mendota Height’s greenhouse gas emissions, the City prioritizes energy
efficiency. In the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 8, “Resilience,” addresses
renewable energy, the City’s emergency action plan and sustainability. This chapter was
initiated and created by community members with experience and knowledge of the subject
matter and was included at the residents’ recommendation. Many residents and community
members are already dedicated to the goal of sustainable energy within the city.
In 2021, Mendota Heights joined GreenStep Cities, the program to assist and encourage
sustainability in municipalities around Minnesota. Mendota Heights has achieved steps one, two
and three. Being part of this organization shows continued efforts to improve the sustainability of
Mendota Heights. The City also has a Natural Resources Management Plan (2022), which
incorporates information and implementation strategies in planning for climate change and
sustainability as it pertains to the city's natural resources.
Creating an Energy Action Plan will strategize the steps to greater energy efficiency,
significantly benefiting the environment. By focusing on reducing energy use in homes and
businesses, switching to renewable energy sources, or upgrading to more energy efficient
appliances, everyone can contribute to a more sustainable future! Additionally, making energy
efficient choices not only helps the planet but also saves money. These efforts will lead to
lasting advantages for both the community and the environment, making Mendota Heights an
even better place to live, work and play.

WHERE WE ARE NOW
An integral part of the Partners in Energy planning process is reviewing historical energy data
that informs the community’s energy baseline. Xcel Energy provided data on energy use,
participation counts and utility energy conservation program savings for Mendota Heights, as
detailed in the following sections. See Appendix B: Baseline Energy Analysis for a
comprehensive picture of Mendota Heights’ baseline energy data.
Community Demographics
As of 2021, Mendota Heights’ population of almost 12,000 residents lived in approximately
4,900 housing units. With lower levels of diversity compared to the Twin Cities metro area, 7%
of residents speak a language other than English, 12% of residents identify as multiracial and
4% identify as Asian. A poverty rate of 3% and a median household income of $130,000 make
this a wealthier community compared to some peer cities. With 86% of housing built before
2000, most Mendota Heights residents live in housing stock with significant opportunity for
energy efficiency improvements given the lower energy efficiency standards and general wear
and tear on older buildings. Additionally, 18% of units in Mendota Heights are renter-occupied,
presenting unique opportunities for energy efficiency measures that target renter-occupied units.
Figure 1 displays the community demographic profile.

Energy Use and Savings
Premises
Xcel Energy provides electricity and natural gas to Mendota Heights residents and businesses.
In 2023, Mendota Heights consisted of 5,872 distinct utility premises, which are a unique
combination of service address and meter. For residential customers, this is the equivalent of an
individual house or dwelling unit in a multi-tenant building. For business customers, it is an
individual business, or for a larger business, a separately metered portion of the business’ load
at that address. Most Mendota Heights premises are residential, with a small number of
commercial and industrial premises and a smaller portion of municipal premises rounding out
the total (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Total premises by sector, 2023
Grid Energy Use
On average during the 2021–2023 baseline period, the Mendota Heights community consumed
128 million kWh of electricity and 9.1 million therms of natural gas across all sectors per year
(Figure 3). In order to compare energy use between electricity and natural gas consumption on
a common measure of energy savings potential, total energy consumption (below right) was
calculated using both electricity and natural gas consumption converted into British thermal
units (MMBTu). Although the commercial and industrial sector only makes up 13% of premises
in Mendota Heights, it accounts for over half of total energy consumption. Commercial and
industrial premises use significantly more energy on average per premise than residential
premises, a typical pattern for cities like Mendota Heights.
Figure 3. Average annual energy consumption by sector, 2020–2022
During the three-year baseline period (2021–2023), Mendota Heights’ overall electricity
consumption decreased slightly by almost 1%. Electricity consumption in the residential sector
decreased almost 3% during the three-year baseline, while commercial consumption increased
by 0.15% (Figure 4). Mendota Heights’ natural gas consumption increased by 2% overall the

baseline period, driven by a 6% increase in the commercial and industrial sector (Figure 5). At
the same time, the residential sector experienced a decrease of 1%. Total energy consumption
during the baseline period varied in each sector consistent with variation in weather. Hotter
summers (those with more cooling degree days) and colder winters (those with more heating
degree days) had higher energy consumption. For example, of the three years considered,
Mendota Heights’ natural gas consumption was at its highest level in 2022, which was also the
coldest year with the most heating degree days.

Energy Costs and Energy Burden
During an average year over the three-year baseline period, Mendota Heights spent an
estimated $25 million on fuel costs for both electricity and natural gas (Figure 6). Not quite half
of these costs were paid by residents, with total annual average fuel costs at $11 million. A
residential premise spent an average of $2,180 annually on electricity and natural gas. The
commercial sector averaged $13 million annually on fuel costs. While costs vary greatly for
commercial and industrial premises based on size and industry, on average these premises
spent more than $18,000 annually.

Energy burden is the percentage of income that community members spend on energy. A high
energy burden is defined as spending greater than 6% of income on energy, while a severe
energy burden is greater than 10% of income.2 The group of Mendota Heights residents with the
greatest energy burden are those who own their homes and make 30% or less of the area
median income. This group spends up to 10% of their income on energy costs (Figure 7). The
household data in
Figure 8 show that 4% of Mendota Heights residents fall into this category. As a point of
reference, 55% of Mendota Heights residents are homeowners who make more than the area
median income, a group with a 1% energy burden.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated for both electricity and natural gas consumption for
all sectors in Mendota Heights (Figure 9). Mendota Heights’ energy-related greenhouse gas
emissions in 2023 amounted to almost 79,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
(MTCO2e). Mendota Heights’ residential sector accounts for 46% of energy-related greenhouse
gas emissions. Emissions have decreased by 4% between 2021 and 2023, with an increase in
only the municipal sector. Figure 10 breaks down the 2023 energy-related emissions by sector
and fuel type. The largest proportion of emissions (31%) comes from natural gas in the
residential sector, and in total, the residential sector generated 46% of Mendota Heights’
energy-related greenhouse emissions while the commercial sector generated 54% of the
emissions. Natural gas consumption made up the largest proportion of total emissions, adding
up to 59% of all energy-related emissions. The proportion of energy-related emissions from
natural gas is expected to increase over time as grid decarbonization results in cleaner
electricity.

Renewable Energy
Mendota Heights residents and businesses use subscription programs and on-site options to
support renewable energy (Table 2 and Table 3). In Mendota Heights, most renewable energy
support is in the residential sector, where 521 residents receive renewable energy through
subscription programs for a combined total of 3.6 million kWh. 86 residents have on-site solar
installations. Fewer commercial and industrial customers participate in renewable energy
offerings than residents, with 26 renewable energy program subscribers totaling 11.2 million
kWh and 16 on-site installations. Across both residential and business premises, the total
renewable energy subscribed is equivalent to almost 12% of total electricity consumption, which
is equivalent to taking 1,466 gas-powered cars off the road for a year4. The total excludes
generation from on-site solar because those installations are “behind the meter” – that is, on the
customer’s side of the utility meter. Overall, there is potential to increase renewable energy use
in Mendota Heights.

Energy Efficiency Program Participation & Savings
Both residents and commercial and industrial premises participate in Xcel Energy’s efficiency
programs where they can receive rebates for upgrading equipment, arrange a building audit to
understand their efficiency opportunities or manage their demand through rate savings
programs. Participation in these programs results in energy savings for participants. Mendota
Heights’ residents and commercial and industrial premises saved an annual average of 1.7
million kWh and 93,000 therms during the baseline period by participating in Xcel Energy’s
efficiency programs (Table 4).

Mendota Heights residents and businesses rely on a few key programs from Xcel Energy to
help them improve efficiency (Table 5 and Table 6). These tables are sorted by participants,
with the program at the top representing the largest number of participations. The Residential
Heating and Cooling rebate program, where residents receive rebates for upgrading to more
efficient equipment, had the most participants and results in the most savings, but programs like
Refrigerator Recycling, a recycling rebate program, and Home Energy Squad, a home energy
assessment with some equipment installation, also resulted in significant savings. In the
commercial and industrial sector, the Lighting Efficiency and Small Business Lighting programs
that offer audits and rebates for businesses to upgrade to more energy efficient lighting had the
most participants and highest savings. Energy Design Assistance and Energy Efficient Buildings
had lower participation but significant savings.

WHERE WE ARE GOING
Energy Vision
During the planning process, the Energy Action Team created a vision statement for this Energy
Action Plan to guide the process and reflect the community’s intentions.
Focus Areas
To achieve the energy vision and community-wide commitment to energy stewardship, the
Energy Action Team identified the following focus areas to prioritize strategies and resources.
These focus areas were chosen to provide a holistic approach to energy stewardship, while
focusing efforts on specific sectors and audiences.
Vision
Mendota Heights is a leader in the transition to a clean energy
future. This plan guides the city, residents and businesses to
take action to increase energy efficiency and use renewable
resources to create a more resilient community.
Page 145 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 21
Residential Energy Efficiency
Residential Energy Efficiency will focus on encouraging residents conserve energy through
energy efficiency projects, behavior changes and Demand Side Management (DSM) program
participation (DSM programs are voluntary modification of consumer demand for energy through
various methods, including education and financial incentives. DSM aims to encourage
consumers to decrease energy consumption, especially during peak hours, or to shift time-of-
energy use to off-peak periods such as nighttime and weekend.) The residential sector consists
of living quarters for private households, such as single-family homes, duplexes, rentals, and
other housing units.
Business & Municipal Energy Efficiency
Business & Municipal Energy Efficiency will focus on helping businesses and municipal
buildings in Mendota Heights save energy by implementing energy efficient technologies,
weatherizing their buildings and participating in utility programs. The commercial and industrial
sector consists of service-providing facilities, schools, strip malls, office space, health care,
manufacturing and food processing facilities. The municipal sector includes buildings owned
and operated by the City of Mendota Heights like City Hall, fire stations, parks facilities and
others.
Renewable Energy
The Renewable Energy focus area includes options to use both wind and solar energy to power
homes and businesses in Mendota Heights. Renewable energy can be accessed through utility
subscription programs, community solar gardens or on-site solar.
Beneficial Electrification
Beneficial electrification (BE) is the replacement of direct fossil fuel use that results in either
lower costs, reduced emissions or more effective use of the power grid. In practice, this means
replacing fossil fuel-powered appliances like gas water heaters and HVAC equipment with more
efficient versions that run on electricity. This focus area involves helping residents, businesses
and the City to upgrade to efficient electric technologies and take advantage of available
incentives, resources and planning support.

Goals
The Energy Action Team set an overall goal during the planning process by deciding which
metrics were important to measure and communicate, reviewing the community’s energy
baseline data to discuss ambitions and feasibility, and constructing a timeline to achieve these
goals.
Community-wide Goal
We will measure our success against the community-wide goal, which will guide the actions of
this plan.
Achieving Mendota Heights’ goal will avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to removing
over 2,100 gas-powered cars from the road for a year or the carbon sequestered by 10,500
acres of U.S. forests in one year.7
The total estimated greenhouse gas emissions avoided of 9,000 MTCO2e are calculated from
both energy efficiency and renewable energy program participation in Mendota Heights and grid
decarbonization by Xcel Energy. The cost savings of $1.6 million are calculated from the costs
avoided by participating in energy efficiency programs offered by Xcel Energy. The energy
savings equate to saving 1.7 million kWh in electricity and 93,000 therms in natural gas by
2030.
Energy Action Plan Impact
To visualize the energy savings from the goal, Figure 12 shows the business-as-usual scenario
with the goal impact. The business-as-usual scenario shows what would happen in Mendota
Heights if the city participation trends follow the same pattern as in years past. The navy-blue
wedge shows the impact the Energy Action Plan would have on total energy savings in the

Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 23
community. As a result of energy savings, cost savings would also accrue — these are shown in
Figure 13 totaling $1.6 million by 2030. It is important to note that that these are the first-year
cost savings of the energy efficiency improvements, rather than lifetime savings. We cannot
guarantee what the energy savings will be in future years, but this calculation is the most
conservative and we would expect lifetime energy savings to outpace this goal

Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 24
Mendota Heights’ goals will also impact energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. The plan will
avoid an additional 26% of greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2030 compared to
business-as-usual. Greenhouse gas emissions savings are due to both avoided emissions
attributable to participation in energy efficiency programs, as well as reduced emissions from
renewable energy participation. Figure 14 includes only renewable energy programs in which
the customer retains the Renewable Energy Credit (REC) and total kWh can be measured8 for
the purpose of greenhouse gas emissions accounting.

HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE
The following section outlines the implementation work plan, including focus areas, strategies
and tactics to help achieve Mendota Heights’ goals. These initiatives will be a collaboration
between the City of Mendota Heights and Partners in Energy, Xcel Energy and the Energy
Action Team. Each focus area has background information, three to four strategies and specific
tactics describing the actions we will take.
The Energy Action Team, composed of Mendota Heights residents, commission members and
City staff, developed these strategies by considering the unique strengths and abilities of the
Mendota Heights community. As a whole, these strategies are an effort to connect energy
efficiency, renewable energy and electrification to both save energy and reduce carbon
emissions. They offer points of access for businesses and residents at any point on their energy
action journey. Whether someone is considering energy efficiency for the first time or installing
your second bank of solar panels, this plan has something for Mendota Heights community
members.

leverages existing success stories to inspire residents and businesses to consider making their
own move to renewable energy.
Tactics
10A: Request citizen-submitted content on solar projects in Mendota Heights.
10B: Roll this content into City newsletter, social media and other promotions.
Focus Area: Beneficial Electrification
Beneficial electrification is the process of switching from fossil fuel energy sources to electric
energy sources, while maintaining current levels of greenhouse gas emissions or reducing
them. Two examples are switching from an internal combustion vehicle to an electric vehicle or
from a natural gas boiler to an air source heat pump, and in both cases getting the electricity
from renewable sources.
The Energy Action Team identified beneficial electrification as a key component of their
community’s energy future. This focus area dovetails with the renewable energy and energy
efficiency focus areas. As Mendota Heights becomes more energy efficient and sources its
energy from renewables, and as Xcel Energy sources more and more of the electrical grid’s
energy from renewable sources, powering appliances with electricity will become the easiest
way to avoid carbon emissions.
Strategy 11: Design and execute education and outreach campaigns for existing
electrification opportunities.
Team members noted that most Mendota Heights community members don’t know much about
electrification and the important role it will play in transitioning to a low-carbon future. This
campaign will focus on education, bringing Mendota Heights residents and businesses up to
speed on how electrification can improve their lives and reduce carbon emissions. It will
emphasize measures like heat pumps, electric water heaters, lawn care equipment and other
electrification measures. It can also work in tandem with the outreach strategies for energy
efficiency and renewable energy.
Tactics
11A: Promote electric lawncare equipment as quick-win electrification measure.
Page 155 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 31
11B: Connect with neighborhood groups and HOAs to educate and share resources about
electrification. 11C: Meet residents and businesses where they are on their electrification journey.
Strategy 12: Explore opportunities to connect residents, businesses and the City with
funding for electrification projects.
There are significant funding opportunities from the Inflation Reduction Act, the ECO Act, Xcel
Energy and other sources to fund electrification projects. This strategy gives the City a path to
explore these opportunities and connect them to potential projects in Mendota Heights.
Tactics
12A: Research electrification funding opportunities. 12B: Attend webinars and other resource-sharing opportunities. 12C: Incorporate learnings into outreach and education campaign.
Strategy 13: Explore feasibility of incorporating electrification into City practices.
As part of its lead by example ethos, Mendota Heights staff felt it was important to consider how
the City itself might implement electrification in its operations. This strategy offers a set of non-
binding opportunities for staff to do so and opens the door for other electrification paths as staff
see fit.
Tactics

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Trends
Mendota Heights’ overall energy-related greenhouse gas emissions decreased from 2021–2023
by 4.1%. To calculate Mendota Heights’ energy-related emissions, an “emissions factor” is
used. This emissions factor describes the amount of CO2 emitted per unit of energy (Table 13).
Specifically, the certified emissions factors from Xcel Energy’s Upper Midwest Fuel Mix and a
standard emissions factor for natural gas emissions were used. As Xcel Energy completes third-
Page 165 of 270

Energy Burden
Energy burden is the percentage of income that residents spend on energy. Mendota Heights
residents who own their homes and make 30% or less of the median area income spend up to
10% of their income on energy costs. This group comprises 192 households, 4% of the total
households in the city. Notably, energy burden is higher across almost every income group for
homeowners than renters.

Program Participation and Savings
Mendota Heights already has a significant number of participants in energy efficiency programs
from Xcel Energy, resulting in energy savings for residents and commercial customers. While
fewer commercial and industrial premises participated during the baseline period, their
participation resulted in larger savings per premise. In total, participation in these commercial
programs saved an annual average of 141,093 kWh and 46,512 therms, while participation in
residential programs saved an annual average of 1,520,599 kWh and 46,698 therms.

APPENDIX C: METHODOLOGY FOR
MEASURING SUCCESS
As part of implementation support, Partners in Energy will provide biannual progress reports for
Xcel Energy participation and savings data for Mendota Heights. All goals will be measured
against Mendota Heights’ three-year baseline of 2021–2023 data unless otherwise noted.
The following section defines the three-year baseline against which progress is measured,
including Xcel Energy program(s) included in the baseline.
Community-Wide Goal
This goal assumes a business-as-usual (BAU) savings scenarios based on the three-year
baseline. The community-wide goal will be measured comparing cumulative greenhouse gas
emissions, estimated dollars saved and energy savings equivalencies for electricity and natural
gas savings for all sectors between 2025 and 2030 against the estimated BAU value for the
same time period. This goal includes current and future Xcel Energy efficiency programs and
measures the first-year savings data the utility provides.
Our Goal
By 2030, the Mendota Heights community will save an
estimated $1.6 million through energy efficiency projects and
avoid 9,000 MTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions.
Page 171 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 47
Table 20. Cumulative savings for Mendota Heights' goals

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Savings
(MTCO2e) 7,079 8,947
Cost Savings $ 1,257,143 $ 1,638,741
To calculate energy savings, Partners in Energy will analyze data provided by Xcel Energy that
summarizes the energy savings by program participant.
To calculate greenhouse gas emissions, Partners in Energy will use preliminary and certified
emissions factors from Xcel Energy’s Upper Midwest Fuel Mix. Partners in Energy will use
energy savings by sector and fuel type to calculate estimated dollars saved in the community.
To meet Mendota Heights’ goal, the community will need to save more electricity and natural
gas annually than the BAU scenario. Table 21 below identifies the annual energy savings
targets needed to stay on track to meet the goal.

Focus Area Goals
Residential Energy Efficiency Goals
•Save 1,173,465 kWh and 409,960 therms by 2030 (230 kWh and 80 therms per
premise)
•Save 2,348 MTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (.46 MTCO2e per premise
•Save $427,773 in residential energy costs by 2030 ($84 per premise)
This goal will be measured by comparing actual program participation against the BAU
scenario. Progress will be measured from January 2025 through December 2030. Table 22
identifies annual program participation targets for select programs to meet this goal. These
targets are based on select Xcel Energy programs. If Xcel Energy offers new residential
efficiency rebate programs, they will be included in this calculation at the discretion of the
Mendota Heights team and Partners in Energy.

Renewable Energy Goals
•Utilize 94 million kWh of renewable energy through Solar*Rewards Community,
Renewable*Connect® and Renewable*Connect Flex® from 2025–2030.
•Avoid 2,883 MTCO2e of greenhouse gas emissions through Renewable*Connect® and
Renewable*Connect Flex® from 2025–2030.
•Increase renewable energy program participation by 3% annually, reaching 693
residents and 47 businesses from 2025–2030. Here, we make the assumption that all
participants who subscribed to a renewable energy program prior to 2025 will continue to
subscribe.
This goal will measure program participation by sector in Xcel Energy’s renewable energy
programs. Xcel Energy offers two programs, Renewable*Connect Flex® and
Renewable*Connect®, in which customers retain the Renewable Energy Credit (REC)
meaning they can be counted toward the goal. Residents can subscribe to community solar
gardens, Solar*Rewards Community, in which Xcel Energy retains the REC, so this is not
counted toward the goal. Finally, there are two programs for on-site solar, Solar*Rewards
and Net Metering. In the latter, the customer retains the REC, but due to data limitations, we
cannot estimate the kWh subscription or emissions savings from these programs. Table 24
identifies the total participation targets for the renewable energy programs.
14 Modeled participation for Lighting Efficiency declines from 27 to 18 in 2027 to account for market
saturation.
15 Average annual baseline participation for Multi-Family Business Efficiency was 2/3, meaning that there
were two participations in three years, between 2021 and 2023. It is rounded to 1 in the table for the BAU
annual participation, but in the model it is projected to increase to 1 for each year.
16 Modeled participation for Small Business Lighting declines from 2 4 to 16 in 2027 to account for market
saturation.

Beneficial Electrification Goal
•10 participants annually in Xcel Energy’s efficient fuel switching programs
Beginning in 2024, Xcel Energy offered rebates for replacing natural gas equipment with an
electric option as part of their Efficient Fuel Switching programs. These rebates are for
equipment such as an air source heat pump heating system and a heat pump water heater.
Because the program is new, Mendota Heights baseline data is not yet available to determine
an appropriate goal level for beneficial electrification participation. Thus, the decision was made
to start with the goal of 10 participants annually. As more data becomes available, the Mendota
Heights team and Partners in Energy can revisit this goal to determine whether it needs to be
adjusted.
Page 175 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 51
APPENDIX D: GLOSSARY OF TERMS
4 x 50: Xcel Energy’s privacy rule, which requires all data summary statistics to contain at least
four premises, with no single premise responsible for more than 50% of the total. Following
these rules, if a premise(s) is responsible for more than 50% of the total for that data set, it
is/they are removed from the summary.
Beneficial electrification (BE) is the replacement of direct fossil fuel use that results in either
lower costs, reduced emissions, or more effective use of the power grid.
British Thermal Unit (BTU): The amount of heat needed to raise one pound of water at
maximum density through one degree Fahrenheit.
Carbon-free: Carbon-free refers to sources of energy that will not emit additional carbon
dioxide into the air. Wind, solar and nuclear energy are all carbon free sources but only wind
and solar are renewable.
Carbon-neutral: Carbon-neutral, also described as “net zero”, could include carbon-free
sources but is broader and refers to energy that removes or avoids as much carbon dioxide as
is released over a set period of time. Carbon-neutral is sometimes used to describe a site that
produces an excess amount of electricity from a renewable energy source, such as solar,
compared to what it consumes. That excess energy is put back into the grid in an amount that
offsets the carbon dioxide produced from the electricity it draws from the grid when it is not
producing renewable energy.
Community Data Mapping: A baseline analysis of energy data in a geospatial (map) format
across the community.
Decatherm (Dth): Quantity of energy that is equivalent to ten therms.
Demand Side Management (DSM): Modification of consumer demand for energy through
various methods, including education and financial incentives. DSM aims to encourage
consumers to decrease energy consumption, especially during peak hours, or to shift time-of-
energy use to off-peak periods such as nighttime and weekend.
Page 176 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 52
Direct Installation: Free energy-saving equipment installed by Xcel Energy or other
organization, for program participants, that produces immediate energy savings.
Energy Conservation and Optimization Programs (ECO): Portfolio of approved utility energy
efficiency and demand management programs. Minnesota electric utilities have a goal of saving
1.5% of their total energy sales each year via customer conservation efforts. Minnesota natural
gas utilities have a goal of saving 0.5% of their total energy sales each year via customer
conservation efforts. ECO programs help Minnesota households and businesses use electricity
and natural gas more efficiently, lessening the need for new utility infrastructure. The Minnesota
Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources (DER) oversees ECO to ensure that
ratepayer dollars are used effectively in achieving those goals and that energy savings are
reported as accurately as possible.
Energy Burden: Percentage of gross household income spent on energy costs.
Energy Reduction: The result of behavior changes that cause less energy to be used. For
example, setting the thermostat to a lower temperature reduces the energy used in your home
during the winter. Since energy reductions can be easily reversed, they are not accounted for
when calculating changes in energy usage.
Energy Savings: Comes from a permanent change that results in using less energy to achieve
the same results. A new furnace uses X% less energy to keep your home at the same
temperature (all things being equal), resulting in energy savings of X%. For accounting
purposes, energy savings are only counted in the year the new equipment is installed.
Greenhouse Gases (GHG): Gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation and
significantly contribute to climate change. The primary greenhouse gases in the earth's
atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
Grid Decarbonization: The current planned reduction in the carbon intensity of electricity
provided by electric utilities through the addition of low- or no-carbon energy sources to the
electricity grid.
Kilowatt-hour (kWh): A unit of electricity consumption.
Million British Thermal Units (MMBtu): A unit of energy consumption that allows electricity
and natural gas consumption to be combined.
Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e): A unit of measure for greenhouse gas
emissions. The unit "CO2e" represents an amount of a greenhouse gas whose atmospheric
impact has been standardized to that of one unit mass of carbon dioxide (CO2), based on the
global warming potential (GWP) of the gas.
Megawatt (MW): A unit of electric power equal to 1 million watts.
Premise: A unique combination of service address and meter. For residential customers, this is
the equivalent of an individual house or dwelling unit in a multi-tenant building. For business
customers, it is an individual business, or for a larger business, a separately-metered portion of
the business’s load at that address.
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC): For every megawatt-hour of clean, renewable electricity
generation, a renewable energy certificate (REC) is created. A REC embodies all of the
Page 177 of 270
Mendota Heights Energy Action Plan 53
environmental attributes of the generation and can be tracked and traded separately from the
underlying electricity. Also known as a Renewable Energy Credit.
Resilience: The ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and
recover rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes the ability to withstand and recover from
deliberate attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents.
Recommissioning: An energy efficiency service focused on identifying ways that existing
building systems can be tuned up to run as efficiently as possible.
Solar Garden: Shared solar array with grid-connected subscribers who receive bill credits for
their subscriptions.
Solar Photovoltaic (PV): Solar cells/panels that convert sunlight into electricity (convert light, or
photons, into electricity, or voltage).
Subscription: An agreement to purchase a certain amount of something in regular intervals.
Therm (thm or therm): A unit of natural gas consumption.
Trade Partner: Trade Partners, also known as Trade Allies or Business Trade Partners, are
vendors and contractors who work with business and residential customers servicing, installing,
and providing consulting services regarding the equipment associated with utility rebate
programs. Their support for utility programs can range from providing equipment and assisting
with rebate paperwork, to receiving rebates for equipment sold.

AGENDA ITEM: 2025 City Budget and Property Tax Levy
ITEM TYPE: New and Unfinished Business
DEPARTMENT: Administration CONTACT: Cheryl Jacobson, City
Administrator
Kristen Schabacker, Finance
Director
ACTION REQUEST:
1.Conduct a public budget meeting (Truth in Taxation); and
2.Adopt Resolution 2024-74 Approving the Final 2024 Tax Levy Collectible in 2025 and
Adopting the Proposed Budget for 2025
BACKGROUND:
The City Council conducted 2025 budget discussions over three meetings held in August and
an additional discussion in October, during which time the Council reviewed operational and
capital requests from all departments and considered City Council priorities. The council
considered expenditures and balanced requests with revenue that would be available in the
upcoming fiscal year, which begins January 1.
The majority of discretionary expenditures are supported by taxes levied on residential and
commercial properties in the city. The highlights of expenditures proposed for FY2025 are:
•The City is budgeting a COLA increase of 3%
•An increase of $500 per firefighter to the Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association for
firefighter pensions
•There are two new staff positions (2 FTEs) proposed in the 2025 budget, including an
Administrative Coordinator to start April 2025, and a Recreation Facilities Coordinator
to start January 2025)
There have been two changes made to the levy and budget since its adoption on September
Page 179 of 270
17. Staff removed the increase to the city's contribution to employee insurance (resulting in a
0% increase) and has adjusted the start date of the Administrative Coordinator (from January
to April). With these adjustments, the proposed 2025 tax levy is $89,612 less than the
preliminary tax levy approved on September 17, 2024.
The following chart reflects the proposed final 2025 levy, as compared to 2024:

The 2025 budget includes capital items to be purchased from the general fund balance. The
total amount proposed to come from the general fund balance is $757,333. The details of this
amount are included in the 2025 budget (and in the Budget Request summary). Even with
these purchases, the general fund balance does not go below the 75% balance that is required
by the City's Fund Balance Policy. Additionally, capital purchases to be made from other
special funds are listed in the 2025 budget (and in the Budget Request summary).
The total General Fund budget for 2025 is $13,117,369, which is 6.37% greater than the 2024
budget. The total city budget for all funds in 2025 is $20,274,148, which includes such things
as special revenue funds, enterprise funds, and debt service funds. The levy for 2025 will
increase by $704,062 over the 2024 levy. This represents a 5.46% increase over the 2024 final
levy.
The budget document also includes an updated 5-year Capital Improvement Plan.
Page 180 of 270
Tax Impact on Residential Properties: Overall, the value of residential property in Mendota
Heights increased by an average of 1.34% between 2024 and 2025. The proposed 5.46% levy
increase will increase the city portion of property taxes on an average-value home (which is
$540,000) from $2,015.83 in 2024 to $2,118.11 in 2025. This represents a 5.07% increase in the
city portion of property taxes.
The budget-setting process requires that the city adopt a final budget and property tax levy
for 2025 and certify it to the Dakota County Auditor by December 30, 2024. Minnesota
Statutes require cities to hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed budget and property
tax levy and allow public input before final approval. Dakota County sent out parcel specific
tax statements to property owners in November. These showed the change in property taxes
for next year, based on the adopted preliminary levy. Staff received two inquiries from
property owners regarding their property taxes. Residents asked questions and voiced their
concerns.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution 2024-78 Approving a Lot Split Request at 1912 South Lane
ITEM TYPE: New and Unfinished Business
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CONTACT: Sarah Madden, Community
Development Manager
ACTION REQUEST:
Adopt Resolution 2024-78 approving a Lot Split request of the property located at 1912 South
Lane.
BACKGROUND:
The property at 1912 South Lane is an existing lot of record legally described as Lot 1, Block 2,
Jefferson Heights (excluding the west 60-ft). The subdivision was originally platted in 1949,
and later South Lane was extended resulting in the 60-ft exclusion. The lot is currently 1.38
acres in size (60,309 square feet). The site currently contains a single-family home and
accessory site improvements. The applicant intends to demolish the existing home, and later
build two new single-family dwellings on the proposed two parcels.
The applicant, Lakes LLC, requests to subdivide the 1.38 acre parcel by a horizontal split, to
create two parcels: “Parcel 1” to consist of 28,220-sq.ft or .65 acres of land; and “Parcel 2” to
consists of 31,518-sq. ft, or 0.72 acres of land. Both proposed parcels meet the minimum 100-
ft of frontage on South Lane. No development plans are proposed at this time, but will occur
following an approval of the lot split request. No new or separate single-family development
can occur or would be allowed on these parcels without the demolition of the existing home,
which will be scheduled once the property has transferred in ownership after the City’s
approval of the lot split request. City Staff has suggested that the demolition of the home be a
condition of approval of this lot split request prior to any work or development on the
property.
At the November 26, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, a planning report was presented. A
duly noticed public hearing was held to consider the lot split request. One written comment
was received prior to the public hearing, which is attached to this report. There was one
Page 227 of 270
member of the public who spoke to the application and inquired about impervious surface
requirements. The Planning Commission discussed the implementation of the Zoning Code
Update and how it would apply to the subject parcels at the time of their development into
new single-family homes. The applicant spokesperson Bobby Schmitz was present and
available for questions from the Commission.
A copy of the 11/26/24 planning report and lot split exhibit is attached to this memo. As noted
in the attachment, staff recommended approval of the Lot Split request. Following their
discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) in support of the subdivision
request for a Lot Split of the property at 1912 South Lane, with findings-of-fact and certain
conditions, as outlined in the attached [draft] Resolution.
The City Council may affirm the recommendation from the Planning Commission by adopting
Resolution No. 2024-78.

RESOLUTION APPROVING LOT SPLIT REQUEST AT 1912 SOUTH LANE
[PLANNING CASE NO. 2024-21]
WHEREAS, Lakes LLC (the “Applicant”) submitted under Planning Application Case No.
2024-21, a request of a new Lot Split of the property located at 1912 South Lane (the “Subject
Property”), and legally described in attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the subject property is guided LR-Low Density Residential in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan and is situated in the R-1 One Family Residential district; and
WHEREAS, Title 11-1-1 of the City Code (Subdivision Regulations) allows the subdivision of
properties, provided the resulting lots are compliant with the requirements of the applicable zoning
district; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant proposes to subdivide the Subject Property into two parcels, Parcel
1 and Parcel 2 which are legally described on Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, on November 26, 2024, the Mendota Heights Planning Commission held a public
hearing on the application request at their regular meeting, and whereupon closing the hearing and
follow-up discussion on this item, the Planning Commission recommended 6-0 to approve the requested
lot split request on the Subject Property; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mendota Heights City Council that the
recommendation from the Planning Commission on Planning Case No. 2024-21 is hereby affirmed, and
the proposed lot split request of 1912 South Lane may be approved based on the following findings-of-
fact:
1. The proposed Lot Split (minor subdivision) creates two lots, where Proposed Parcel 1 is
28,220 square feet and Parcel 2 is 31,518 square feet.
2. The resulting lots, Parcel 1 and 2, meet all dimensional standards as established in the R-1
zoning district provided the existing structure and improvements are removed and/or
demolished.
3. The proposed Lot Split is consistent with the Low Density Residential (LDR) density
requirements, and the proposed use of the Lots for single-family residential uses is
consistent with the intent and purpose of the LDR designation.
4. The removal of the existing home and improvements will result in two new buildable lots
that have adequate area outside of all setback areas to construct a new residential structure.
5. Approval of the lot split to allow for future development of the lots with single-family
residential uses will not adversely impact the character of the neighborhood which is
developed with low density residential uses.
Page 229 of 270
Mendota Heights Res. 2024-78 Page 2 of 5
6. Provided the conditions of approval are met, the resulting lots and any future development
will comply with the R-1 base zoning district requirements.

created parcels.
3. All transfer or deed documents which convey the portion of lands under the lot split
process shall be recorded with Dakota County.

the existing single-family home and all accessory structures have been demolished.
5. The Applicant/Developer must provide a Best Management Practices (Stormwater
Management) Agreement to the City as part of the building permit submittal and review
process.
6. Any grading and/or construction activity related to the development of this lot shall
comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and codes, as well as in
compliance with the City’s Land Disturbance Guidance Document.
7. Any new or existing sanitary or water service lines will have to be reviewed by the
Public Works Director and/or St. Paul Regional Water Services prior to issuance of any
building permit.
8. A building permit must be approved prior to the commencement of any construction
work on the new residential dwelling. Construction work shall occur only between the
hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 pm weekdays; and 9:00 am to 5:00 pm weekends.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights on this 3rd day of December, 2024.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: December 3, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of Ordinance No. 591: Short Term Rentals and Ordinance No.
594: Fee Schedule Amendment
ITEM TYPE: New and Unfinished Business
DEPARTMENT: Community Development CONTACT: Sarah Madden, Community
Development Manager
ACTION REQUEST:
Adopt Ordinance No. 591, amending Title 3: Business and License regulations to add a new
Chapter 5A: Short Term Rentals; Authorize Publication of Summary Ordinance; and, Adopt
Ordinance No. 594, amending the City’s Fee Schedule by establishing a Short Term Rental
License fee
BACKGROUND:
The City Council began discussing Short Term Rentals in 2023 in response to residents who
had an interest in pursuing a Short Term Rental within their home, as well as residents who
had concerns with Short Term Rentals who may operate in their neighborhood. The City’s
existing ordinance and policy regarding rental of residential real estate in the R-1 zoning
district is contained in Title 3, Chapter 5 Rental Housing, but there are no specific ordinance
performance standards regarding short term rentals in either Chapter 5 or within Title 12
Zoning. A moratorium was established as an interim ordinance in order to provide the City
with the time needed to conduct an ordinance research and drafting process, which occurred
between September 2023-September 2024. This fall, the City Council has continued their
discussion on the draft Short Term Rental ordinance in order to reach a consensus and make a
final determination on the proposed ordinance.
To begin this ordinance preparation process, staff distributed a questionnaire to the City
Council, and to members of the Planning Commission, consisting of general questions on
policy details that relate to Short Term Rentals. A Short Term Rental, also known as vacation
rental (e.g. Airbnb and VRBO rentals), is a living space that is offered for rent to visiting guests
for a short period of time. Short Term Rental properties are usually furnished, and the dwelling
can be a single room, multiple rooms, or an entire home. The rental period ranges from days
Page 244 of 270
to weeks, with a maximum of 30 days. The goal of the City's research has been to identify
performance standards and regulations that Mendota Heights could implement that would
balance the concerns of residents with those of short-term rental property owners while
preserving neighborhood character. Staff presented research relating to short-term rental
ordinance standards and potential policy objectives, and the information gleaned from the
questionnaire to the City Council at their March 19, 2024, City Council Work Session.
At that Work Session, the City Council provided direction to staff to move forward with an
ordinance amendment within Title 3, Business and License Regulations, Chapter 5: Rental
Housing which would authorize a short-term rental license requirement and associated
application process. For specific ordinance provisions, the City Council agreed with consensus
that the proposed ordinance should include standards such as:
•The definition of a short-term rental would be 30 days or less
•Short term rental units should be licensed and require an inspection when an
application for licensing is received
•The number of occupants be limited to two occupants per legal bedroom (with means
of egress needed)
•The home be homesteaded, or the owner/operators primary residence
•Establish a minimum night stay
•Parking be provided on-site for four operable vehicles on a paved surface, consistent
with City Code
•Owners follow the existing property maintenance code
Much of those initial policy directives have remained in the draft Short Term Rental Ordinance
as staff continued to revise and present updated versions of the ordinance to the City Council.
The City Council provided additional feedback on the ordinance standards at their May 21 and
June 18 work sessions, with the resulting feedback including standards within the final draft of
the ordinance such as:
•A maximum number of 5 bedrooms
•A maximum occupancy of two persons per bedroom, with one of the proposed
bedrooms within the unit available for up to 4 bedrooms (totaling a maximum of 12
person occupancy overall)
•Reservations must have a minimum 2-night stay
•No short term rental may be rented to any person under the age of 25
The City Council met at their September 17, 2024, regular meeting to discuss the proposed
Ordinance No. 591, which establishes regulatory standards and licensing procedures for Short
Term Rentals, also known as ‘vacation rentals’. The proposed ordinance adds a new chapter
into Title 3: Business and License Regulations (to be identified as Chapter 5A: Short Term
Rentals) and is intended to address the short-term rental of dwelling units within the R-1 one
family residential zoning district and provide operational standards for those residents who are
interested in managing a short-term rental in their home, while also balancing the concerns of
Page 245 of 270
neighboring residents and preserving neighborhood character.
At the September 17 City Council meeting, the Council discussed the ‘primary residence’
requirement, the inspection process, and asked for information on implementation and
enforcement procedures. A public comment letter was also provided to the City Council at the
beginning of the meeting which outlined concerns with the City’s decision to license short-
term rentals and the contents of the proposed ordinance. The City Council directed staff to
make corrections and adjustments to the ordinance based on their discussion and asked for
the City Attorney to review and provide comments to the Council about the letter received in
advance of their next meeting.
The City Council continued their discussion at the October 1, 2024, regular City Council
meeting. The draft of the Short Term Rental ordinance was updated to reflect comments that
were shared by both members of the public, and members of the City Council during the
September meeting. The City Attorney also prepared a memo and spoke to the City Council to
address the public comment letter concerning the Short Term Rental Ordinance. The City
Council discussed the primary residence, or Homestead, requirement, which is included in the
proposed Short Term Rental ordinance as a licensing requirement for an owner to operate a
Short Term Rental. The City Council then voted to table the ordinance for discussion at a
future work session.
The City Council reviewed the Short Term Rental ordinance again at the November 12, 2024,
Work Session meeting. Through discussion, the City Council reached consensus on the
proposed ordinance and fees, and directed staff to return for final consideration of the
ordinance at a regular meeting.
The revised final draft of the ordinance continues to include the primary policy objectives that
have been discussed by the City Council over the past several months, including the overall
standard defining short-term rentals as having leasing or rental periods of 30 days or less,
property maintenance cross-references, standards for primary residency, maximum bedrooms
and occupancy, a minimum night stay, an initial inspection requirement, and minimum renter
age.
In addition to the proposed Ordinance No. 591, staff has prepared Ordinance No. 594
amending the City’s fee schedule to add a Short Term Rental License fee, which is proposed to
be set at $200.00 per annual license. This has not been modified since the September 17
meeting.
Due to the length of the proposed ordinance, the City Council is also asked to consider
authorizing the publication of a Summary Ordinance, which requires 4/5ths of the Council’s
votes to succeed. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the new ordinance to
establish a Short Term Rental licensing process, and may make a motion for the consideration
of adoption of the two proposed ordinances as noted below:
(1) Adopt Ordinance No. 591, Amending Title 3 of the City Code to incorporate Chapter 5A:
Page 246 of 270
Short Term Rentals, establishing a short term license and regulatory standards, and Authorize
Publication of a Summary Ordinance; and,
(2) Adopt Ordinance No. 594, Amending the City’s Fee Schedule to add a Short Term Rental
License fee.
The proposed Short Term Rental Ordinance will go into full place and effect on January 1,
2025.

DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO. 591
AMENDING TITLE 3 TO CREATE CHAPTER 5A: SHORT TERM RENTALS
The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights does ordain:
Section 1. City Code Title 3 – BUSINESS AND LICENSE REGULATIONS is hereby
amended to add Chapter 5A: SHORT TERM RENTALS as follows:
3-5A-1: PURPOSE AND SCOPE:
It is the purpose of this chapter to assure that short-term rental of dwelling units in the City's R-1
one-family residential zoning district is conducted, operated, and maintained so as not to become
a nuisance to the surrounding neighborhood or an influence that fosters blight and deterioration
or creates a disincentive to reinvest in the community. The City recognizes that short-term
rentals provide an opportunity for residents to use their property to generate supplemental
income; and, when properly managed, short-term rentals have a minimal impact on surrounding
properties. When not properly managed, short-term rentals have the capacity to generate noise,
traffic, and trash beyond what is typically present in a residential neighborhood creating a
nuisance. These issues can be especially acute when the owner of the property does not reside in
the home. In order to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the
community, the City facilitates and regulates the use of residential properties for short-term
rentals by requiring the licensure of short-term rentals.
3-5A-2: DEFINITIONS:
For the purpose of this chapter, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:
BEDROOM: A habitable room within a single-family dwelling which is used, or intended to be
used, primarily for the purpose of sleeping, but shall not include any kitchen or dining room. The
room shall have a method of egress in addition to the primary entry door to the room in
accordance with the Minnesota Residential Building Code.
DWELLING: A building or one or more portions thereof occupied or intended to be occupied
for residential purposes; but not including rooms in motels, hotels, nursing homes, boarding
houses, tents and recreational vehicles, or attached multiple- family dwellings.
DWELLING UNIT: A residential accommodation located within a dwelling that includes
permanently installed cooking, sleeping, and sanitation facilities, designed or intended for use as
living quarters for a single family. Dwelling units subject to this chapter are defined as being
detached dwelling units in the R-1 one-family zoning district.
OCCUPANT: A person who lives or sleeps in a dwelling unit.
Page 248 of 270
227483v4
OWNER: Any person having a legal or equitable interest who is the recorded or unrecorded
owner, or otherwise has control, of the dwelling unit.

pursuant to a written or unwritten agreement, whether or not a fee is required by the agreement.

another, exercises occupancy or possession, or is entitled to occupancy or possession, by reason

TO: MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL
FROM: AMY SCHMIDT, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: SEPTEMBER 24, 2024
RE: SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE; MEMO FROM LUKE BELLVILLE
Mayor and Councilmembers,
On September 17, 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing and considered a proposed
ordinance regulating short-term rental of residential property in the City (the “Ordinance”). Just
prior to that meeting, the City Council received a memo from Luke Bellville, a Minnesota attorney.
In his memo, Mr. Bellville identified the following:
Legal Issues
1. Affidavit of Residency Requirement
2. Age Discrimination
3. Due Process Concerns
4. Municipal Authority
5. Enforcement and Compliance Burden
6. Privacy Concerns
For each category, he described his view of the associated legal issues and cited caselaw, state and
federal law, and the Minnesota and United States constitutions; and identified general legal
considerations or potential conflicts.
Following the public hearing and at the conclusion of the Council’s consideration of the proposed
Ordinance, the Council voted to table the matter for a final decision on October 1, 2024, and
requested a legal memo to address the issues raised by Mr. Bellville.
Short Answer
The issues presented by Mr. Bellville warrant consideration by the Council, and his summary is
helpful in identifying a need for certain revisions to the proposed Ordinance. At the same time,
the scope of the legal concerns raised and the various legal authorities cited tend to overstate any
legal defects in the proposed Ordinance. While it is not possible to say that any ordinance would
definitely survive any possible legal challenge, with a few revisions made to the proposed
Ordinance, it is likely to survive a legal challenge in whole or in part.
Discussion
Generally speaking, the concerns and issues raised by Mr. Bellville are not without merit. Clearly,
the City is obligated to adopt ordinances that are constitutional, and do not discriminate or conflict
Page 258 of 270
2
232781v1
with other state or federal law. However, the specific issues that Mr. Bellville identifies, and the
legal sources that he points to, are not necessarily the applicable legal analysis for the proposed
Ordinance.
1. Municipal Authority to Adopt Short-Term Rental Ordinance.
In his memo, Mr. Bellville states the following:
The extensive regulations and requirements for licensure might be seen as an
overreach of municipal authority. While Minnesota is a home rule state (Minn.
Const. art. XII, § 4), there are limits to municipal power.
•Relevant Statute: Minn. Stat.§ 462.351 grants municipalities the authority
to regulate land use, but this power must be exercised within constitutional
limits.
While it is true that there are limits to municipal power, this perhaps is a misreading of the
Constitutional provision. Article XII, Section 4 of the Minnesota Constitution authorizes “any
local government unit” to “adopt a home rule charter for its government.” It is not clear how this
makes Minnesota a “home rule state.” Notably, the City of Mendota Heights has not adopted a
home rule charter, and exercises powers as a statutory city. Accordingly, this part of the Minnesota
Constitution is not specifically relevant to the question of the authority of the City of Mendota
Heights to adopt this Ordinance.
Minnesota Statutes § 462.351 is likewise not specifically relevant in this context. This Statute
section applies to a city’s authority related to municipal planning, and in combination with other
sections1 has the stated purpose of providing “municipalities, in a single body of law, with the
necessary powers and a uniform procedure for adequately conducting and implementing municipal
planning.”
Here, the proposed Ordinance does not fall under the City’s exercise of its municipal planning
powers. Rather, by regulating short-term rentals, the City Council is exercising its general
authority to issue licenses. This general authority arises from the powers granted by the Legislature
to a city council to:
provide for the government and good order of the city, the suppression of vice and
immorality, the prevention of crime, the protection of public and private property,
the benefit of residence, trade, and commerce, and the promotion of health, safety,
order, convenience, and the general welfare by such ordinances not inconsistent
with the Constitution and laws of the United States or of this state as it shall deem
expedient.2
1 Minn. Stat. § § 462.351-462.364.
2 Minn. Stat. § 412.221, subd. 32 (emphasis added). See also, City of St. Paul v. Dalsin, 245 Minn. 325, 71 N.W.2d
855 (1955); State v. United Parking Stations, 235, Minn. 147, 50 N.W.2d 50 (1951).

232781v1
2. Other Constitutional Concerns.
Please note that each of the following constitutional issues could each be addressed far more
extensively than is outlined here. I am happy to provide more in-depth analysis if needed.
A. General Constitutionality.
In addition to the concerns related to municipal authority to regulate the short-term rental of
property under the Minnesota Constitution, in his memo, Mr. Bellville raises additional concerns
regarding the constitutionality of this type of regulation. Specifically, Mr. Bellville asserts that a
requirement for an affidavit of residency could “infringe on property rights protected under the
Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.” In support of this concern, Mr.
Bellville cites an inverse condemnation3 case4 where he says the Court “emphasized the
importance of considering the ‘reasonable expectations’ of property owners when evaluating
regulations affecting property rights.”
This is an incomplete description of the Court’s holding in the cited case. The Court, in upholding
the government’s action, also recognized that governments have “well-established power to
‘adjus[t] rights for the public good.’”5 Also, it is unclear how the holding or analysis of this case
specifically relates to the constitutionality of a requirement in the Ordinance that a license applicant
submit an affidavit of residency, or that a licensee may face the possible revocation of a license
based on non-residency.
B. Enforcement and Compliance Burden.
Related to this case cited above, Mr. Bellville also expresses concern that the “significant
responsibility placed on property owners to manage their rentals and comply with various
conditions could be burdensome and potentially discourage participation in short-term rentals.”
He cites Penn Central Transportation Co. v. City of New York, a seminal inverse condemnation
case. Mr. Bellville cites this case as a possible basis for a challenge to “overly burdensome
regulations” that violate the “reasonable use” doctrine established in that case.
Under the Penn Central rubric, a court would look at a regulation in terms of “the economic impact
of the regulation on the claimant and, particularly, the extent to which the regulation has interfered
with distinct investment-backed expectations . . . [and] the character of the governmental action.”6
While this legal test has evolved since it was initially decided7, it does still stand for the proposition
that if a government regulation goes so far as to deny an owner of all economic value in the affected
property, the regulation would effectively be a taking.
3 In simple terms, “inverse condemnation” occurs when a government regulation of land is so restrictive that the land
is deprived of all economic value or use such that the regulation has the same effect as an exercise of eminent domain,
and as a result, an owner is entitled to just compensation.

232781v1
As with the issue discussed above, the regulations at issue in the case were not related to licensing,
and were far more onerous and limiting than those in the proposed Ordinance. In fact, with the
proposed Ordinance, the performance standards and management requirements are likely in the
interests of an owner who wishes to protect their investment or receive good ratings and reviews
from their renters or the platforms where they advertise their property for short-term rental.
Further, all owners—regardless of whether they rent their property—are required to comply with
the City Property Maintenance Code, the State Building Code, and other applicable regulations.
Imposing restrictions under the City’s licensing authority is not so onerous as to constitute a taking.
C. Due Process.
As an additional constitutional concern, Mr. Bellville also states that the “revocation of licenses
after violations . . . could face due process challenges under the Fourteenth Amendment if the
process for contesting violations is not sufficiently robust.” In support of this concern, he cites a
case where the Court established a “balancing test” for determining the due process that must be
provided in administrative hearings.8
Again, this case is not necessarily the most apt choice of law in this context. First, the case cited
is not a licensing case, and was a matter related to a denial of Social Security benefits. Second,
while the cited case might be one of the leading cases related to the requirements for due process
in administrative hearings, there is actually a division of opinion among the Courts as to whether
licensees are entitled to due process.9 It is generally agreed that due process is required if a
licensee has a property interest or a fundamental interest in the granting, renewal, or transfer of a
license.10 Where due process is required for a licensee, there are generally-accepted steps that a
city should follow to ensure that the licensee’s rights are protected.11 As drafted, the proposed
Ordinance conforms to these steps.
D. Equal Protection (Age Discrimination).
As drafted, the proposed Ordinance prohibits a licensee from renting to anyone under the age of
25 years. In his memo, Mr. Bellville notes concerns that this prohibition could violate state or
federal law as illegal age discrimination. Mr. Bellville acknowledges that age is not a protected
class under either the Federal Fair Housing Act or the Minnesota Human Rights Act as it applies
to real property. At the same time, while citing cases that he acknowledges as “not directly
applicable” for this purpose, Mr. Bellville also asserts that the proposed Ordinance could be
challenged under the Federal Fair Housing Act or face other Equal Protection claims.12

discharge from the Army (Vietnam era); discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

None of the cited legal authority really apply in the context of the proposed Ordinance. Here, as
an exercise of the City’s powers to issue licenses, it is within the City’s authority to establish a
minimum age for short-term rentals in furtherance of the public interest to protect life, safety,
general welfare, and health. For example, before the Legislature raised the state-wide minimum
age for the purchase of tobacco to 21 years, many Minnesota cities adopted local ordinances
establishing that same minimum age for sales by city tobacco licensees.
E. Conclusion regarding Constitutional Concerns.
As cited above, Minnesota Statutes § 412.221, subd. 32, explicitly requires that city ordinances
adopted under this grant of power be consistent with state and federal laws and constitutions. As
a general rule, ordinances are presumed to be constitutional, and a person challenging the
constitutionality of an ordinance bears the legal burden of proving that it is unconstitutional.13
Here, the requirements throughout the proposed Ordinance serve the Council’s interest in
regulating for the protection of life, safety, general welfare, and health of persons and property in
the City. While it is possible that a person could bring challenges against the proposed Ordinance,
there is nothing in the constitution, statutes, or court cases addressed above that are a clear basis
for invalidating the proposed Ordinance.
3. Privacy Concerns.
Last, the proposed Ordinance includes requirement that a licensee maintain a guest registry as a
condition of the license. Mr. Bellville raises the concern that such a registry could be public data
under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (“MGDPA”). As the Council is no doubt
aware, the MGDPA defines “government data” as “all data collected, created, received, maintained
or disseminated by any government entity regardless of its physical form, storage media or
conditions of use.”14 The MGDPA “establishes a presumption that government data are public
and are accessible by the public for both inspection and copying unless there is federal law, a state
statute, or a temporary classification of data that provides that certain data are not public.”15
As the proposed Ordinance is written, it is not explicit that a licensee must submit the required
guest registry to the City for any purpose, or that the data will ever be in the possession of the City.
Accordingly, the concern Mr. Bellville raises points to a need for clarification in the proposed
Ordinance. With some revisions, this legal concern can be mitigated.
Conclusion
With some provisions specifically tailored to the needs and character of the City of Mendota
Heights, the proposed Ordinance is similar to other short-term rental ordinances across Minnesota.
The Council has the legal authority to adopt and enforce the Ordinance. The Ordinance
requirements imposed on licensees are not so onerous or burdensome as to be deemed a taking, or
to be a violation of a licensee applicant’s or a licensee’s constitutional rights.
