and all the information came from his wife and medical providers. He was told that most people do not
survive a cardiac arrest at home, and that he had died and came back. He stated that without the first
responders, the quick action of his neighbor, and the CPR knowledge of his wife, he would not be back.
He also thanked those who had sent him notes in his recovery. He thanked everyone who helped bring
him back.
Police Chief Kelly McCarthy provided information on the medical response call of a male having a heart
attack that first responders responded to on June 4, 2025. First responders worked alongside friends and

GOVERNING PRINCIPLES.
Councilor Lorberbaum seconded the motion.

Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
C) RESOLUTION 2025-36 APPROVING A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF MCMILLAN ESTATES TO
SUBDIVIDE THREE (3) EXISTING PARCELS INTO SIX (6) SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
PARCELS LOCATED AT 1707 DELAWARE AVENUE AND ITS ADJACENT VACANT PARCELS
OWNED IN COMMON (PLANNING CASE 2025-03)
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided a brief background on this item. The Council
was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-36, approving a Preliminary Plat of McMillan Estates.
Mayor Levine acknowledged that there has been a public hearing on this topic, and many written
comments have been received.
Councilor Mazzitello asked and received confirmation that the City's deadline to act on this application is
August 19th. He asked about the process that would be followed if the preliminary and final plats are
approved, and if there are additional wetland impacts proposed in the building process of the homes.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that if they get to the building permit phase and
the homeowner realizes that there would be additional wetland impacts, the homeowner would need to
apply for their own wetland permit application. She commented that, because there would be no more
exemptions available, mitigation would need to then be provided.
Councilor Mazzitello asked if there is a timeframe between preliminary and final plat, meaning that there
would be a set time within which the final plat would need to be presented if the preliminary plat is
approved.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden stated that the preliminary plat would be valid for one
year before it expired. She stated that within that timeframe, the final plat would need to be presented, or
an extension could be requested.

July 1, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 4 of 12
Councilor Paper referenced proposed condition nine and asked the process to have land rather than a fee
for park dedication.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that the default process would be a land
dedication, but staff did not recommend land dedication because of a lack of planning for park property
in this area. She commented that often the City accepts cash in lieu of land for park dedication.
Councilor Maczko stated that his concern would be that they approve the plat, which shows driveways
and building pads, and asked if it would be the responsibility of the City to ensure that it could be
constructed to prevent the situation that a future lot owner must later deal with wetland impacts that could
exist.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden stated that staff did ask the applicant to consider
driveway and grading impacts that may be relevant for wetland impacts. She commented that the plan
prepared is a result of that conversation. She commented that two of the wetland impact areas are related
to driveways. She stated that if a future property owner chooses to modify that plan, they would need to
provide the necessary data to support that type of application.
Councilor Maczko asked if the width of the driveway and grades are shown in the plan to ensure that
someone could develop where the plat states they could.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden stated that the location of the driveways and contour
information is shown on the plat, and the minimum driveway width is shown.
Councilor Maczko commented that lots five and six seem to be of concern. He asked if these homes
would be sprinkled because of the longer cul-de-sac.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that home details are not required as part of a
preliminary plat. She stated that there is water service and extension provided for a new fire hydrant on
the new cul-de-sac.
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that he was not able to find a requirement that the Orchard
homes must be sprinkled. He stated that it could be added as a requested condition if desired. He stated
that 20-foot-wide driveways were required for Sunfish Lake, but the Fire Code has been updated, and one-
and two-family homes are now exempt from that requirement. He stated that the Council could make the
requirement that the homes be sprinkled due to the length of the cul-de-sac.
Councilor Maczko referenced condition 15, which was added by the Planning Commission, related to the
public right-of-way. He stated that they do not know if that property would be developed and asked if
they should require that. He noted that they are in the process of recodification of the City Code, which
would solidify the 500-foot maximum length for a cul-de-sac and could prevent the northern property
owner from developing off Delaware. He stated that, from a public safety point of view, he does not like
long cul-de-sacs.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided additional details on the requirements for
platting and planned connection. She explained that if the 500-foot language is further solidified in the
City Code, related to cul-de-sac length, the property to the north could request a variance to extend the
right-of-way, or they could construct an L-shaped road, which would extend and connect to Delaware.

July 1, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 5 of 12
Councilor Maczko commented that it was a reasonable decision in the past to bring the existing cul-de-
sac to the property line, which provided for the opportunity of this property owner to develop, and would
think it makes sense to do the same in this scenario to protect the rights of the northern property owner to
develop.
Councilor Lorberbaum commented that this is a preliminary plat, and there are conditions placed upon the
approval that must be met for the final plat. She referenced the issue of tree preservation and asked if the
applicant must attempt to show tree removal and replacement, even though they will not be building the
individual homes.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden confirmed that it is accurate.
Councilor Lorberbaum referenced lot six, noting that there is no guarantee that the driveway will be in the
proposed location, although she recognized that it would be the most feasible location. She stated that a
driveway in that location may harm the roots of trees on a neighboring property and asked if that is
allowed.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden explained that the City reviews the width, location,
and grade of a driveway, and a driveway permit can include tree mitigation measures. She stated that the
City does not review that level of impact to trees when reviewing a driveway permit.
Councilor Lorberbaum asked if lot six would not be viable if there is no other placement for the driveway
that would not impact neighboring trees.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that lot six meets all City requirements under
the preliminary plat application. She stated that based on the urban forest preservation ordinance, staff
would attach condition 16 to any applicable permits.
Councilor Lorberbaum restated that the city, in its approval, is saying that the lot is a viable lot.
Community Development Manager restated that the lot meets the minimum dimensional standards of city
code.
Councilor Maczko asked if the driveway could be moved closer to the wetland to avoid damage to trees.
He recognized that trees of neighbors that could be impacted. He recognized that someone has the right
to develop a property, but did not believe they have the right to impact someone else’s property. He stated
that they should express that concern now, as they do not want damage to private property. He stated that
there is a way that could be rectified through the development, as the driveway could be moved over,
which would require wetland mitigation that could be provided by the developer, but perhaps not by
individual property owners. He recognized that not all future property owners complete their own due
diligence and often just trust their realtors. He did not want to be in a situation where someone would
need a variance because they could not build according to the plans.
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that the driveway going back to the home pad would follow the
natural ground, and a certified arborist would provide protection measures for any trees that may be
impacted. He stated that the driveway meets the requirements of the City Code, and a condition has been
added that a certified arborist would need to review and approve the impact. He stated that the developer
could also approach the neighboring property owner with an offer of settlement as well.

July 1, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 6 of 12
Councilor Maczko commented that he would like the details hashed out in the final plat to address this
concern. He stated that there is a right to develop, but he also wants to ensure that what is planned could
be constructed, so the onus is not passed to an unsuspecting property owner.
Mayor Levine asked if there is a place to do that in the resolution.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that the City can place a condition upon a
preliminary plat related to wetland impacts and mitigation. She stated that condition 16 addresses those
concerns. She stated that a timeline for the development of the individual homes is not required at this
time in the process, and the level of impact to the wetlands has been shown as required.
Mayor Levine restated that the city can put in a condition, because it is not known exactly where the
driveway is going to go.
Councilor Lorberbaum recognized that lot six is viable even though there is a concern with harm to trees
on a neighboring lot not in the development.
City Attorney Amy Schmidt stated that by approving the preliminary plat, the Council is not saying this
is a buildable lot as presented, but instead meets the dimensional requirements of the City Code and based
upon the information provided and reviewed. She stated that all of the information is public and would
continue to be available. She stated that it is important to note that it is not the duty of the City to protect
every property owner into the future. The application is designed to review and approve whether all
requirements of the preliminary plat have been met. She stated that conditions could be placed upon the
preliminary plat approval to ensure that those could be addressed by the time of the final plat.
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that the developer could be asked to mark out the property line
every 50 feet, and if there are significant trees on the neighboring property, an assessment could be done
before the final plat.
Mayor Levine commented that the Council has read the written comments and hopes that all questions
have been answered. She stated that the applicant would be invited to speak, and if a resident had a new
concern or information, they could also speak.
Spencer McMillan, applicant, stated that he had sent a letter related to the extension of the right-of-way.
He stated that in regard to park dedication, land versus fee, and noted that a requirement for land would
place a burden on the development. He explained that this process started 18 months ago with three lots
to minimize impacts to the wetland and land, but that was not allowed by City Code. He stated that the
requirements to build the cul-de-sac added a large cost, which then led to this development proposal. He
stated that they are investing in the infrastructure, and the six lots support the cost to construct the cul-de-
sac. He commented that they are dedicating all the land for the construction of the cul-de-sac, along with
the right-of-way to Dakota County along Delaware. He noted that there are 5.5 acres of wetland on the
property as well, so, along with the dedicated land as mentioned, additional park dedication would impact
the viability of the project. He stated that the home on lot six would be further away from the existing
homes than the existing homes are from each other. He stated that they tried to minimize impacts to the
wetlands and follow all requirements of the City Code.
Page 8 of 107
July 1, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 7 of 12
Councilor Mazzitello thanked the applicant for his letter, which mentions that the dedication of the right-
of-way to the northern property would adversely impact his proposed subdivision, and asked for more
information.
Mr. McMillan stated that he has three young children, and he would like them to grow up and build a
home at the end of the cul-de-sac. He stated that if the cul-de-sac were extended north, that would impact
the viability and value of their property. He stated that it is not their intention to extend the cul-de-sac
north, and he did not believe it was a requirement of the City Code or under Minnesota State law.
Jim Kolar, 1695 Delaware, stated that he has always been supportive of the development and would plan
to match the density, but this would hold him hostage on the back portion of his property. He stated that
the right-of-way extension would be 88 feet. He commented that statements have been made that access
to his property could come from Delaware, but he did not believe that to be the case. He believed that the
alternative was unreasonable, as a 1,200-foot roadway would be required to support four homes. He stated
that the developers of Ridgewood were required to extend that nub, which provided Mr. McMillan to
extend to his property, and was asking for the same opportunity to be provided to his property. He stated
that if the cul-de-sac were extended north to the Bader property and touched on Foxwood, potentially
through an emergency gate, that would solve the issue of public safety concerns. He stated that an L
roadway would require his home to be torn down. He stated that this would leave him as the only
undeveloped ten-acre parcel, and the back portion would become landlocked. He stated that the 88-foot
right-of-way would harmonize the interests of everyone. He referenced the statement that the extension
would devalue the McMillan property, but noted that Mr. McMillan is doing the same to the properties
currently on the cul-de-sac, which will be extended for his development. He stated that failure to plan for
this connection would significantly devalue his property and the ability to develop the property. He stated
that if he is provided with the right-of-way extension, he would do the same if/when his property is
developed. He stated that although the Council is not required to do certain things, they are also not
precluded from doing so. He asked the Council to balance the rights of all parties.
Mike Bader, 1297 Knollwood Lane, commented that his parents purchased the property on Delaware and
were held hostage by the poor planning of Foxwood. He stated that the ability to develop is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan and makes sense. He stated that private landowners should have the right
to develop their property. He echoed the comments of Mr. Koehler and asked the Council to make up for
previous mistakes in Foxwood, which limited the ability of other properties to develop.
Shawn Fahnhorst, 1767 Ridgewood Drive, stated that he has been advocating for the mitigation of
disruptions in the neighborhood by the dedication of public space. He suggested perhaps a multi-modal
trail which could run along the street. He stated that he would be willing to offer part of his front yard to
continue the trail to Marie Avenue.
John Weikert, 1737 Delaware Avenue, stated that the Council has a moral and ethical responsibility to the
citizens now and the citizens of the future. He stated that lot six will clearly have a negative impact on
the property values of the surrounding neighbors. He commented that people purchased their lots looking
out onto the grasslands. He asked if the proposed driveway would be at grade level, noting that the lot
floods.
Mayor Levine thanked everyone who provided public input throughout the review process.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that there was a recent development that was controversial with neighboring
property owners. He stated that there is a luxury of time as the deadline is in the middle of August. He
Page 9 of 107
July 1, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 8 of 12
asked if the Council would be interested in following a similar process to table the request and have a
subcommittee of the Council meet with the residents and then approach the developers with an ask to
determine if there is a middle ground. He commented that process made the previous apartment project
better as the concerns of the residents were met and the developer was allowed to construct their project.
Councilor Maczko stated that, from his perspective, it would be the neighborly thing to do. He was unsure
of the level of neighborhood and developer interaction that had occurred. He stated that it is clear that the
developer has the right to develop the property, but neighbors do have concerns. He believed that there
is a responsibility to ensure the plans can be constructed as presented. He did not believe a developer has
the ability to physically impact things on neighboring properties, such as trees. He stated that if there are
conditions for lot six, those should be memorialized to ensure future property owners could find that
information. He stated that he would like to find something that everyone could accept and feel okay
about, and would be open to the process described by Councilor Mazzitello.
Councilor Lorberbaum commented that she had met with several neighbors, and they would like the
opportunity to speak with Mr. McMillan and discuss this matter. She also supported the concept
proposed by Councilor Mazzitello. She stated that the Planning Commission did a wonderful job and
understood their role that they must approve something if the plan follows ordinances, but it also hurt
their hearts to vote yes. She stated that two weeks ago, draft revisions to the city’s subdivision code
were discussed by the City Council. She reiterated that the purpose of the subdivision ordinance is to
safeguard the best interests of the city, to assist the subdivider in harmonizing their interest with those of
the city, provide for an attractive, orderly, economic, and safe development of land and urban services
and facilities, and to protect the character and symmetry of the neighborhoods in the city while
preserving and enhancing the value and economic use of property.
Councilor Paper commented that he is open to that idea, as it resulted in a better project in the end. He
stated that he would prefer to accept the parkland dedication, which could create a nature trail in an
incredible area.
Mr. McMillan stated that he is fully in support of the concept as he wants to work with neighbors and
would like to collaborate.
City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson commented that they would need to determine who on the Council
would be a part of the discussions. She noted that in the case of the Plaza, they had two Council members.
She noted that there is an August 19th deadline for this application review.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that part of the reason they are redoing Title 11 is to align the Zoning Code
with the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that there are at least three policy statements within the
Comprehensive Plan related to future planning, proper planning for future growth and development, and
connectivity. He stated that the Comprehensive Plan trumps city code.
Councilor Mazzitello moved to table CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2025-36 TO THE
AUGUST 6, 2025, COUNCIL MEETING AND SCHEDULE A MEETING BETWEEN RESIDENTS
AND THE DEVELOPER BETWEEN THEN AND NOW TO WORK OUT THE ISSUES.
Councilor Lorberbaum seconded the motion.
Further discussion: Mayor Levine appreciated all the comments that had been made and believes that this
will result in a better product for the community.

D) RESOLUTION 2025-37 APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A FENCE EXCEEDING 6-FT IN HEIGHT FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1341 CHERRY
HILL ROAD (PLANNING CASE 2025-07)
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided a brief background on this item. The Council
was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-37 approving a variance to allow the construction of a nine-
foot fence on the property located at 1341 Cherry Hill Road.
Mayor Levine acknowledged that it would only be a portion of the fence that exceeds nine feet and noted
that the condition sufficiently addresses the tapering.
Councilor Mazzitello asked about the distance of the taper and how that would be regulated.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden explained that the Planning Commission discussed
this, noting different methods of taper that could be chosen. She stated that the Council could further
define that within a condition if desired. She stated that the applicant agrees with the taper method but
was unsure what that would look like until information is provided by the contractor.
Councilor Mazzitello asked how the distance of 15 feet was determined.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden explained the methodology of her recommendation.
Councilor Maczko stated that he would prefer to respond to the taper suggested by the applicant, as it
would be hard to dictate what would look right and determine what that distance would be.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden stated that when there is a taper, it is typically terraced,
but that can vary, and that is why the condition was not specified.
Mayor Levine commented that staff and the Planning Commission did a great job. She stated that the
proposed fence will be an improvement over what currently exists.
Danny Michel, applicant, stated that he originally requested the nine-foot fence but prefers the taper
method as discussed by staff. He stated that it would perhaps make sense to have a straight-line taper to
match the contours of the property. He stated that he is not planning to have the taper along the length of
his property and would like to taper after the 15 feet, perhaps to the midline, and then have six-foot fencing.
Councilor Mazzitello stated that staff would then decide through the fence permit if the taper is reasonable.
Councilor Lorberbaum moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2025-37 APPROVING A VARIANCE TO
ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FENCE EXCEEDING 6-FT IN HEIGHT FOR THE
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1341 CHERRY HILL ROAD.
Councilor Mazzitello seconded the motion.

GLENN BARON (REPRESENTING THE HEIGHTS RACQUET & SOCIAL CLUB) FOR THE
OUTDOOR COMMERCIAL RECREATION USE LOCATED AT 1415 MENDOTA HEIGHTS
ROAD (PLANNING CASE 2025-08)
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided a brief background on this item. The Council
was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-38 approving a Conditional Use Permit Amendment for the
outdoor commercial recreation use located at 1415 Mendota Heights Road.
Councilor Maczko asked and received confirmation that the parking would be paved and striped.
Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2025-38 APPROVING A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT AMENDMENT FOR THE OUTDOOR COMMERCIAL RECREATION USE

F) RESOLUTION 2025-39 APPROVING A VARIANCE TO THE REAR YARD SETBACK TO
ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW THREE-SEASON PORCH ADDITION
LOCATED AT 2150 AZTEC LANE (PLANNING CASE 2025-09)
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided a brief background on this item. The Council
was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-39, approving a variance request at 2150 Aztec Lane.
Councilor Mazzitello commented that he lives in a similar neighborhood with lots platted under the current
minimum requirements. He stated that he does have a four-season porch on his home, which also
encroaches on the back setback. He asked if a variance was previously approved for the deck and addition
on this property.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that she was unable to find prior record of
variance approvals for this address. She stated that she did find a building permit record that the addition
was constructed in 1978 or 1979, and a variance may not have been required at that time.
Councilor Maczko stated that some of the Friendly Hills properties in his neighborhood back up to
marshland that will never be developed. He stated that this property similarly backs up to the CDA
property, which may not be developed. He stated that he wanted to ensure that this approval would not
violate any past variance conditions.
Councilor Mazzitello recognized that there are new impervious surface rules adopted with the Zoning
Code and recognized the work of Planning Commissioner Johnson to ensure that this request would be
compliant.
Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2025-39 APPROVING A VARIANCE TO
THE REAR-YARD SETBACK TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A THREE-SEASON
PORCH ADDITION LOCATED AT 2150 AZTEC LANE (PLANNING CASE 2025-09).
Councilor Lorberbaum seconded the motion.

Council wanted to provide an opportunity for residents to improve their homes and maintain the character

SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (PLANNING CASE 2025-10)
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden provided a brief background on this item. The Council
was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-40, approving a MRCCA Permit and Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) Amendment for Northern States Power Company (Xcel Energy) to allow site improvements at the
property located at 800 Sibley Memorial Highway.
Councilor Maczko asked what the building will look like.
Grant Pinska, Xcel Energy, commented that the building would be like other buildings on the site and
would be almost completely screened from most residential properties. He stated that it would be a metal
frame building painted blue.
Councilor Maczko commented that he is unhappy with the fence that was put on the other side of the
property.
Mr. Pinska replied that it is part of the electrical portion of the site.
Councilor Lorberbaum asked for information on the red circles shown on one of the maps.
Community Development Manager Sarah Madden replied that it is a utility map.
Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2025-40 APPROVING A MISSISSIPPI
RIVER CORRIDOR CRITICAL AREA (MRCCA) PERMIT AND AMENDED CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT (CUP) TO XCEL ENERGY AND FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 800 SIBLEY
MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (PLANNING CASE 2025-10).

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilor Maczko recognized the lifesaving awards that were presented tonight and recognized the value
that the public safety team provides to the community. He recognized that the early intervention efforts
of the spouse and neighbor made all the difference, also noting the quick response of a paid-on-call
firefighter who lives in the area. He encouraged all residents to become CPR knowledgeable and stop to
help a neighbor in need. He stated that he also shares the concern related to trail bikes, noting that he had
a near miss on a trail with children on motorized bikes on the trail. He stated that electric motors will
need to be addressed, as it is creating a hazard on the trails. He stated that he received many phone calls
when the speed limit on 62 was increased and encouraged residents to attend or watch the July 15th Council
meeting, where MnDOT will provide information on their practice to set speeds.
Councilor Lorberbaum recognized an Islamic holiday observed on July 5th. She encouraged everyone to
come watch the fireworks on July 4th and reminded residents of the reason for the holiday.
Councilor Mazzitello complimented the Planning Commission for its large agenda and thoughtful
discussion the previous week. He also recognized the work of Community Development Manager Sarah
Madden for her outstanding work on the many planning cases. He stated that while he enjoys the
controlled fireworks displays, he cautioned residents against using fireworks on their personal property or
in their neighborhoods, as some pets and veterans do not enjoy those sounds. He commented that 56
people signed the Declaration of Independence, some of whom are well known and others who are not,
providing additional information on six lesser-known signers.
Mayor Levine acknowledged all of those who were involved in the lifesaving award presentation and
event. She also recognized the heavy lift of staff in the items presented tonight.

7.b
Ms. Eisfeldt provided additional information on the rebranding of the event to better reflect
Mendota Heights.
Commissioner Weichert stated that many young families in her neighborhood enjoyed the
Touch a Truck event this past weekend.
7.c Par 3 Update
Recreation Facilities Coordinator Trey Carlson reviewed the Par 3 update, noting the soft
opening at the end of March for a few days, which was very popular. He stated that the season
officially opened on April 10 and provided statistics on the course so far this season. The
implementation of the new software has been successful. He provided an update on course
conditions, maintenance, summer programs, and leagues.
Commissioner Weichert asked how the rounds from March and April compare to the previous
year.
Mr. Carlson replied that there was a slightly higher number of rounds in 2025.
Ms. Lawrence replied that in 2024, they were open eight more days than in 2025. She believed
that the increase in rounds was due to the software, which allows customers to book a tee time
online. It was estimated that about 50 percent of the tee times are being made online. She
commended Mr. Carlson and his staff for making the software implementation a success, as this
was a big step for the City and staff.
Commissioner Schifsky asked how the new software is being advertised to users.
Mr. Carlson commented that they made customers aware of the new software at the soft
opening in March, used social media and the City website, and have brochures available at the
clubhouse.
Commissioner Muller commented that the system is very user-friendly and is the same system
used by another course. She was impressed by the number of schools that are golfing at the
Par 3 and asked how they coordinate with the school groups.
Mr. Carlson replied that the school groups call, and he works with them to schedule times. He
estimated 12 schools that use the course. He stated that they have hosted a JV exhibition
tournament and have another school tournament coming up.
Commissioner Muller asked about Youth on Course and whether they would be implementing
that.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the goal for this year is to get the online tee time software up
and running well, and Youth on Course is a goal for next year.
Chair Blanks commented that it is great to see the continued growth of the course.
7.d Commission Work Plan Update
Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence stated that the
Commission Work Plan, approved at the March meeting, was included in the packet. She
provided an update on the status of items within the plan.
Page 16 of 107
Commissioner Weichert stated that she would like to work with Mr. Carlson to provide input on
the desires of the senior community for programming opportunities. She asked if there has
been progress on seeking grant opportunities.
Ms. Lawrence identified grants that the City routinely applies for in the parks system. She noted
a new staff member has joined the city’s team and can assist with grant writing. She stated that
the Master Plan consultant also identified park grant opportunities that the City can pursue.
Commissioner Schifsky suggested looking at opportunities that could combine both teen and
senior programming.
7.e Parks System Master Plan Update
Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence stated that staff
continues to work with the consultant to complete the Parks System Master Plan, which will be
finalized, adopted, and implemented. She stated that a draft was provided to the Commission
tonight to review prior to the release to the public. She noted that a presentation of the final
plan will be made at the June 17 City Council meeting, and the Commission is invited to attend.
8. New Business
8.a Ivy Hills Playground Replacement Recommendation
Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence provided background
information on the playground at Ivy Hills, the existing conditions, and why the playground is
planned for replacement. She stated that the Commission provided consensus to staff to move
forward with the RFP and provided additional comments on the changes the City Council made
to the RFP in a desire to have more creativity in the proposals received. She stated that six
proposals were received from five qualified vendors, which were reviewed by the subcommittee,
which narrowed the proposals to four for community engagement. She presented the four
proposals.
Commissioner Weichert commented that woodchips are not accessible for people in
wheelchairs.
Ms. Lawrence agreed and noted that although woodchips are considered accessible, they are
not easy to traverse through.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that accessibility is not just related to wheelchairs, but can also
include people who have an unsteady gait, people with walkers, seniors, and parents with
strollers. She agreed that it is challenging and also had input related to the merry-go-round
being an accessible feature.
Ms. Lawrence reviewed the tactics for community engagement, the engagement that occurred
for this project, and the input received on the different proposals. She stated that the 2025
budget for this project included $160,000 from the general fund for the project, along with
$20,000 for the increased size of the playground from the special park fund, for a total of
$180,000. She asked that the Commission make a recommendation on this project tonight in
order to move forward to the Council. She commented that because of the delays at the
Council level, it would be anticipated that this project would take place in September.
Chair Blanks invited residents to provide input.
Page 17 of 107
Adina Overbee, 1200 Sylvandale Rd, commented that they are frequent users of the parks with
their grandchildren. She stated that the park is not just for children, but for everyone. She
stated that she likes option three because of the colors, as she found that more attractive to the
eye and in scale with the remainder of the park. She understood that some people like bright
colors, but asked if the rubber surface could be a lesser tone, such as green. She stated that
she would not put a lot of value in the online survey, as that encouraged people to vote multiple
times. She stated that people voted many times, which skewed the results, and believed the
survey should have restricted users to only one vote. She thanked the Commission and staff for
their work and looked forward to the updated playground.
Ms. Lawrence commented that any of the proposed colors can be changed if desired, but
acknowledged that people may have voted for a playground proposal because of the colors.
She asked the Commission to focus on the features rather than the colors, as the colors could
be changed.
Commissioner Toth stated that the Commission has been asked to recommend one of these
proposals. He commented that it appears the engagement system in place has failed them. He
stated that if there were residents who could consistently vote, that would seem to have been a
waste of time.
Commissioner Muller commented that the residents who attended in person voted only one
time.
Commissioner Toth asked how they could fix the system going forward and what the
Commission should base its decision on.
Ms. Lawrence provided background information on the system used to complete previous park
surveys and the negative input received from residents related to that system. She stated that
for this survey, they used the same process as Valley View Heights. She stated that when she
completed the survey, to get a better understanding of the user experience, she did not notice
something that encouraged users to take the survey again. She commented that there may be
data available that shows the IP address of the user, but she did not pull that data for tonight’s
meeting. She stated that she would be open to using another platform.
Commissioner Weichert suggested allowing only one vote per household.
Chair Blanks commented that many households have more than one person, and they should
each be allowed to vote.
Ms. Lawrence commented that there were children from the same household who were both
allowed to vote for their choice. She asked the Commission to look at the features and consider
the input of the residents. She commented that these are locked in prices, and if they start over,
they may not receive the same quality.
Chair Blanks commented that they are basing this conversation on assumptions and fear that
people were voting multiple times. He stated that could have happened, but it is not a fact that
occurred. He stated that for his household, there could have been five responses because he
would have voted, and he would have allowed each of his children to vote.
Commissioner Weichert asked why children are being allowed to vote.
Page 18 of 107
Chair Blanks replied that the children are the ones using the playground and, therefore, should
have a voice.
Commissioner Weichert commented that the playground should be for more than just children.
Commissioner Muller commented that people on the Commission have children and
grandchildren and will make a recommendation using the resources that have been provided.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that the subcommittee had strong feelings about this playground
being accessible and multigenerational, with equipment that many different ages can use. She
commented that language was removed from the RFP by the Council, which is frustrating. She
stated that there is a high senior population in this area, and they do not want to spin around,
which is the accessible feature that has been proposed.
Commissioner Muller commented that there are many options for color tones, and agreed there
are more natural tones that could be chosen.
Ms. Lawrence stated that if there are specific color tones, she can work with the vendor to have
new renderings made before the Council meeting. She stated that the vendors have not
received any funds from the City to provide descriptions and renderings, and therefore wants to
be fair in stating that any of the options could have different colors.
Commissioner Van Lith recognized that this playground is in full sun and therefore would be
interested in the recommendation of the vendor on what colors will be best to not be too hot in
the sun.
Ms. Lawrence stated that in the future, if they want specifics, it is best to provide that in the
RFP.
Chair Blanks suggested that the discussion be narrowed to options two and three, and they
received all the votes from the in-person survey and also scored highly in the online survey. He
stated that personally, he likes option three as he felt that was the closest to the requirement of
accessibility.
Commissioner Van Lith asked how the poured rubber holds up over time.
Ms. Lawrence replied that there is currently a dual surface of poured-in-place and woodchips at
Mendakota, noting that has held up pretty well. She recognized that the extreme temperature
swings of Minnesota are tough on materials. She noted that material is still in good shape 12
years after installation.
Commissioner Weichert suggested taking dollars away from a feature to provide the poured-in-
place surfacing to the swings, which a senior may use.
Ms. Lawrence stated that she did ask all the vendors if it would be possible to change out the
spinner with an accessible swing and reviewed the input she received from the vendors. She
noted that some vendors would need to redesign their proposal because of the required fall
zone, or additional cost would be added to add more poured-in-place surfacing. She noted that
the swing does have a higher cost than the spinner. She explained that it is not as easy as it
sounds to remove a piece and add a piece in that spot. She noted that shade was also
something highly discussed, but was not required as part of the RFP. She did not believe that
Page 19 of 107
any of the playgrounds provide a sufficient amount of shade, which would push them forward for
that reason.
Commissioner Weichert stated that perhaps some trees could be planted.
Ms. Lawrence commented that they could plant trees, but recognized that it will take time for
them to provide shade.
Commissioner Muller commented that she had heavily used the Ivy Hills Park when her kids
were younger. She believed that option three is a similar design to the current playground and
commented that younger children do like to spin. She stated that option two does have monkey
bars/climbing feature, which is a feature that users requested. She stated that while she does
not love the height of option two, that feature does seem to provide some shade within. She did
not believe that the survey results should be disregarded, as she only took the survey once.
Commissioner Toth commented that during the subcommittee, they thoroughly discussed the
proposals, noting that it was not an easy process. He stated that they attempted to find the best
fit for all. He stated that for option two, the tall tower was a feature people liked, while options
one and two provide features for everyone. He liked the gameboard feature, as that is
something all users could enjoy.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that kids voted from the schools as well, noting that her
teenagers all liked the tall tower feature. She commented that the miracle machines are cool
but often become broken. She stated that she thinks the music pieces provide a
multigenerational feature that will also hold up well. She was frustrated as she did not believe
the proper information was relayed to vendors to get the results they wanted based on the City
Council’s change in scope.
Ms. Lawrence agreed that option two was very popular with students. She stated that she
spoke with Webber Recreation, and there is a warranty on the feature. She commented that
while the City has not used all the vendors, she has received positive input from cities that have
used them in terms of warranty. She believed that each option has components for each age
group and includes a warranty.
Commissioner Toth asked if two proposals could be selected and sent to the City Council,
allowing the City Council to make the final choice.
Ms. Lawrence stated that she is asking the Commission to make a recommendation, and the
recommendation the Commission makes is its choice. She stated that she would like to bring
this to the Council next week to ensure they could complete a 2025 installation.
Commissioner Weichert stated that perhaps they could narrow it to two vendors and
communicate their concerns, which would allow them to adjust their proposals in order to
provide the desired outcome.
Chair Blanks stated that there was a subcommittee that had already narrowed down to these
options.
Ms. Lawrence stated that she sent the RFP to nine vendors, and they received six proposals
from five vendors, which were narrowed to four proposals. She stated that she then spoke with
each vendor to ensure they met the requirements of the RFP. She noted that public
Page 20 of 107
engagement was then completed, and she followed up with the vendors to ask about switching
pieces or adding poured-in-place surfacing. She stated that if additional work is wanted, she
would need very clear direction as to what they would want done. She reminded the
Commission that the budget is set for this project, and if there are additional delays, this would
not be installed in 2025.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that she felt there were clear expectations for the RFP, and the
Council made different choices.
Ms. Lawrence stated that the RFP from the Parks Commission required an accessible swing,
and the City Council had concerns that was too narrow of a scope and that the swing would not
fit. She stated that the Council wanted the proposals to be more open-ended, which is why,
rather than requiring certain items, they were encouraged. She confirmed that it was the
direction of the Council that changed the RFP. She stated that if there is a desire for the
vendors to change the proposals, she would want to consult with the City Council to ensure the
vendors are not wasting their time.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that the biggest reason for requiring the accessible swing was to
provide a feature that would be multigenerational.
Ms. Lawrence replied that staff did due diligence in estimating which features could fit within the
space, and the Council was aware that there was potential for the features to fit, but did not
want to limit the creativity and scope of the vendors.
Commissioner Muller commented that this is the third playground she has been involved with
and asked why this is different than the others.
Ms. Lawrence provided background information on the previous playground process and noted
that Marie was the first playground they used the RFP process in 2020, and they did not require
an accessible feature. She stated that Valley View Heights also did not require an accessible
feature. She stated that this is the same process used for Valley View Heights and recognized
that they began to bring in the accessible feature with this park, as that is a priority for the parks
system. She stated that it is important that they provide a playground that everyone can use
and that will be a part of the parks system going forward. She recognized that it might be a little
more work, but she believes that every resident should have an opportunity to recreate.
Commissioner Van Lith stated that it sounds like the subcommittee came up with an idea, and
the Council widened the scope. He stated that he would support asking for more options for
accessibility rather than the spinning feature, as it appears they would be settling.
Chair Blanks commented that would impact the budget and therefore would most likely not be
an option.
Commissioner Muller commented that it is frustrating when the Commission makes a
recommendation, and that is changed by the City Council. She stated that she would be
nervous to make the request and waste time for the Council not to change its mind.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the Council was not against a swing but did not want to limit the
feature to only a swing. She confirmed that the spinning feature is more affordable and fits
within the proposals, which is most likely why three vendors chose that option.
Page 21 of 107
Commissioner Weichert referenced the price of option one, which would have additional space
within the budget, which may allow them to rework the concept.
Chair Blanks noted that option only received three percent of the votes, so that is not the option
the residents want.
Ms. Lawrence stated that the cost option one did not include installation, noting that once
installation is added, that would not leave space in the budget for another feature. She stated
that all proposals were within a few dollars of each other, with maintenance and installation.
Commissioner Muller stated that she has three children and not all children like all features.
She stated that some kids do like spinning. She stated that a senior can spin their
grandchildren on the feature.
Commissioner Weichert commented that seniors like the motion of swinging.
Commissioner Muller asked if there is a price point for the spinning feature from Weber.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that she could not find that.
Commissioner Muller commented that could be a similar add-on request to the shade feature in
a previous playground proposal.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that in terms of accessibility, the poured-in-place surface
provides accessibility to the feature.
Ms. Lawrence stated that the poured-in-place surface has a cost of about $30,000. She stated
that Webber submitted two proposals, as they could provide an inclusive feature and another
without the feature.
Commissioner Muller commented that the poured-in-place is a good feature.
Ms. Lawrence stated that in reviewing the proposals pretty closely and in speaking with
residents, option three provides the most accessible playground, as it is not just one feature that
becomes accessible with the poured-in-place surface. She stated that option two provides the
wow factor with the height and climbing features. She stated that while option four is great, it
does not include an accessible feature. She stated that option one is great, but did not receive
much support from the public. She stated that it seems that, based on the conversation of the
Commission, the input of the public, and a staff perspective it seems that options two and three
best fit the vision for this playground.
Commissioner Muller commented that she likes the net circle swing and the variety of the swing
options provided in option three. She stated that option three also provides different options to
get on and off for those playing tag.
Motion Blanks/second Schifsky to recommend option three for the playground replacement at
Ivy Hills Park.AYES 6: NAYS 0
Chair Blanks asked if there is input on the color, noting that the City Council will ultimately
choose the color, as they changed the colors during the last playground process.
Page 22 of 107
Commissioner Schifsky stated that she likes the colors as proposed, as they look fresh, inviting,
and match the benches already there.
The resident commented that she would change out the white color as it will become dirty
quickly.
Ms. Lawrence commented that they can state they do not want white, but was unsure how
specific they can be on the house feature.
Commissioner Schifsky noted that color options may not be a choice on the house feature.
Chair Blanks stated that he recommended leaving the choice of color for the City Council to
decide, and the Commission agreed.

Carlson, and Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek left)
8.b Preliminary Budget FY2026 Discussion
Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Meredith Lawrence stated that staff have
begun the budget discussions for the upcoming season. She explained that typically the budget
discussion spans two meetings, with a recommendation from the Commission being made at
the June meeting. She reviewed the budget timeline for the City and noted that the parks and
Par 3 Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) were included in the Commission packet. She
recognized that not everything included in the CIP for each year will likely be included in the
final budget, but explained that once the Parks System Master Plan is completed, they will be
updating the Parks CIP to describe more accurately what can be done in each year. She noted
that projects should be prioritized in the case that not all projects are accepted by the Council
for the budget. She reviewed the projects that were included in the 2025 budget, which was a
total of about $318,000. She reviewed the projects that were proposed for 2026 within the CIP.
Commissioner Weichert asked how often the Valley picnic shelter is used, as she could only
recall two events in 34 years. She noted that is a high cost for an item that is not often used.
Ms. Lawrence commented that she tends to think that shelter is not often used because of the
poor condition and lack of power. She stated that with the greenway and trails, she believed
that the picnic shelter would be used more.
Commissioner Muller commented that the Girl Scouts use that facility for their bridging
ceremonies.
Commissioner Weichert commented that the seniors are being ignored, along with football,
lacrosse, and soccer.
Chair Blanks asked that all Commissioners hold their comments until the presentation is
completed.
Ms. Lawrence stated that the 2026 projects within the CIP have a total of $580,000, which is
similar to other cities of this size spend annually on Parks capital, but that is a large number
compared to what the Council has approved in the past. She stated that it is the decision of the
Commission as to how much discussion happens tonight, as this will continue to the next
meeting as well. She provided a brief overview of the approved 2025 projects and proposed
Page 23 of 107
projects for 2026 and future years for the Par 3, noting that those items are discussed
separately. She confirmed that the 2025 and 2026 Par 3 projects are self-funded from the
course revenue.
Chair Blanks stated that ideally, he would like to hold a meeting to discuss this in June.
Ms. Lawrence commented that she does not yet have any topics for the June meeting, and
therefore the June meeting could be solely focused on this topic.
Commissioner Muller recognized that there were projects deferred from 2025 and suggested
that at the June meeting, staff highlight the projects from 2025 that were deferred.
Ms. Lawrence reviewed the 2025 budget priorities of the Commission and highlighted the items
that were deferred.
Commissioner Weichert stated that she would like information on how much the shelters are
used, as that can help to determine whether shelters should be refurbished or removed.
Ms. Lawrence stated that she can bring forward that information, but not all people who use the
shelters reserve them. She noted that Mendakota does not allow shelter rentals during
tournaments, which also skews results.
Commissioner Weichert commented that she often has people approach her home for shelter
from a storm because there is nothing available at the park.
Chair Blanks asked that all Commission members send a list of their questions to Ms. Lawrence
prior to the June meeting. A deadline of May 25 was provided to the Commission to provide that
input.
Commissioner Schifsky asked for input on whether the County would contribute to a shelter
along the greenway.
Ms. Lawrence provided a brief update and noted that she can provide more information at the
June meeting.

required to be removed and reinstalled. The reinstallation of the solar system is scheduled for
completion on July 3 under a contract with Ideal Energies for $23,228. The third-party
consultant fee of $23,218 will also be able to be closed upon the solar installation.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The City Council awarded this project to Palmer West Construction Company at their March
18, 2025, City Council meeting for the low bid of $318,800.00. The final payment for this
contract is $43,156.00 including the previously approved change orders of $5,746. The total
project cost of $367,246 is under the estimated budget of $400,000.

MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approve the Hiring of a Public Works Maintenance Worker
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Administration CONTACT:
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve the hire of Andrew Phomphakdy as a Public Works Maintenance Worker at a rate of
$30.20 per hour per the 2024-2025 Teamsters Union contract.
BACKGROUND:
The City conducted a robust hiring process including two rounds of interviews for the Public
Works Maintenance Worker position. The new Public Works Maintenance Worker employee
will join the parks maintenance team in Public Works. Staff selected Andrew Phomphakdy to
recommend to City Council for the position. Andrew has previously worked for the City of St.
Louis Park public works in the streets department. Prior to that, he has also worked both as a
business analyst and served in the National Guard. Staff are confident that Andrew will make a
great addition to the public works team.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The Public Works Maintenance Worker position is a budgeted position. The pay for this
position will follow the 2024-2025 Teamsters union contract, which has a range of hourly pay
for 2025 of (step one) $30.20 to $39.69 (Step 4). Staff recommends hiring Andrew Phomphakdy
at step one ($30.20 per hour) of the maintenance worker pay scale.

AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2025-44 Formally Accepting Donations from the Heussner
Family
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Police CONTACT: Kelly McCarthy, Police Chief
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve Resolution 2025-44 Accepting donations from the Heussner family.
BACKGROUND:
Minnesota State Statutes §465.03 "Gifts to Municipalities" requires that all donations be
accepted by resolution.
On July 1, 2025, after the lifesaving awards, members of the Heussner family wanted to show
their appreciation to first responders and left donations at the Police Department. Nate
Heussner donated $100 in Chipotle gift cards and $100 in Door Dash gift cards, and Carol and
Ralph Heussner left a check for $50.00. The police department does not solicit monetary
donations and does not normally accept them.
In this instance, and if the council agrees, it feels appropriate to accept the donations and
distribute the gift cards to the Mendota Heights Fire Department and MHealth responders,
and to put the $50.00 towards food for the next police department meeting.

AGENDA ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2025-43 to Reject Bids for the Kensington East Street
Improvements
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Engineering CONTACT: Lucas Ritchie, Assistant City
Engineer
Ryan Ruzek, Public Works
Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Adopt Resolution 2025-43 rejecting bids for the Kensington East Street Improvements project.
BACKGROUND:
Council ordered the Kensington East Street Improvements in adopting Resolution 2025-26 at
their May 6, 2025, meeting, and directed staff to prepare plans and specifications for this
street reconstruction project. The plans were approved and authorized to bid at the June 17,
2025, meeting.
Two (2) bids, detailed below, were received in the Mendota Heights Council Chambers on
Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. for the Kensington East Street Improvements.
NAME OF BIDDER AMOUNT OF
BID
Minnesota Paving & Materials $1,125,703.68
McNamara Contracting $1,422,035.00
Minnesota Paving & Materials submitted the lowest responsible bid of $1,125,703.68, which is
approximately 16% higher than the Engineer's Estimate of $974,225.22.
The Kensington East Street Improvements were initially proposed as part of a larger project,
which included adjacent roadways to the north of Mendota Heights. This larger project was
divided into two phases, one in 2025 and one in 2026, due to funding and staffing limitations
during the 2025 construction season.
As larger roadway improvement projects typically benefit from economies of scale and yield
Page 36 of 107
more competitive unit pricing and overall bids submitted, staff are recommending rejecting
the bids received for the Kensington East Street Improvements and instead recombining this
project with its northern counterpart, anticipated for construction in 2026. Additional Council
action will be required in the future to approve the combined project.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The estimated project costs and low bidder anticipated costs are further expanded below
including indirect costs for administration, engineering, finance, legal, etc.:

Page 37 of 107
While City utility funding sources are showing a net negative from estimated bid prices to bid
prices received, street and trail improvement, of which are funded through the Municipal Levy,
reflect a significant net increase and represent a larger share of the overall cost burden. Since
special assessment amounts are derived from the total street improvements costs based on
the City’s current policy, the estimated special assessment amounts have increased by nearly
20% following the bid opening.
Staff recommends that the City Council reject all bids received for the Kensington East Street
Improvements.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approve Developer's Agreement for the Cobalt Business Center
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Engineering CONTACT: Ryan Ruzek, Public Works
Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve the Developer's Agreement for the Cobalt Business Center.
BACKGROUND:
A building permit has been submitted for the redevelopment of Le Cordon Blue at 1315
Mendota Heights Road. A Developer's Agreement is not typically used for this type of activity,
but with the relocation of a city-owned pond, staff determined an agreement would better
protect the city.
The Developer's Agreement requires Letters of Credit (LOC) for the installation of the public
and private storm sewer improvements at twenty-five percent (25%) of the total cost of the
improvements. The cost of this work is estimated at $289,530, resulting in a LOC of
$72,382.50. The city also requires security for Erosion and Sediment control, which is
calculated at one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the erosion and restoration
costs, estimated at $81,207 for a LOC of $101,508.75.
In addition to the above site costs, the forest preservation permit for this site requires an
escrow of $71,800 which will be provided under a third LOC. This amount is calculated at $100
per caliper inch of the total 718 caliper inches required to be replaced.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
Endeavor Development is providing Letters of Credit naming the City of Mendota Heights for
improvements at the Cobalt Business Center.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Approve Contract to Grind Brush at City Transfer Site
ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CONTACT: John Boland, Public Works
Superintendent
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve a proposal from Dakota Wood to grind up to $17,500 of brush into wood chips
located at the city's transfer site.
BACKGROUND:
Public Works staff has disposed of tree debris in the past by hauling it to various sites that
accepted material for free. Several years ago, most sites began charging the City fees for
disposal. Staff began storing trees and brush at the City transfer site, located in the area of the
Bourne property site, with the idea of grinding material on-site to limit hauling distances. Staff
received quotes from several local brush grinding vendors that ranged in price from $6.50 -
$8.50 per cubic yard of ground and hauled material. Staff will retain some grindings for use in
the park system.
Dakota Wood had the low bid at $6.50 per cubic yard of hauled material.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
This item will be paid using the tree removal budget.

ITEM TYPE: Consent Item
DEPARTMENT: Public Works CONTACT: John Boland, Public Works
Superintendent
ACTION REQUEST:
Approve the purchase of a 2026 F550 Ford truck cab and chassis from Inver Grove Ford, and an
upfit with dump body and hydraulics from Towmaster.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the 2025 Parks budget, $81,000 was budgeted for the purchase of a replacement
truck with dump body for the Parks Department. This truck will be replacing a 2012 Ford F450
with a dump body. This truck will have a gas engine, and otherwise be identical to the truck
that the City purchased in 2020 for the Streets Department. The dump body will be made to fit
the chip box for chipping brush that is used on the Street truck now.
Staff received pricing from Midway Ford with the state contract, Inver Grove Ford, and
Towmaster:
Midway Ford: $50,270.41 with trade
Inver Grove Ford: $48,792 with trade
Towmaster-upfit: $35,427
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
The replacement is included in the 2025 budget. The truck from Inver Grove Ford, and the
upfit from Towmaster, will have a total price of $84,219. This price is over budget by $3,219
and funds are available from the General Fund balance.

BACKGROUND:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) completed an Engineering and Traffic

from the junction with Minnesota Trunk Highway 55 to a point approximately 1120 feet east of
the intersection with Mendota Road on Highway 62 increase to 60 MPH. The recommendation
has been authorized as the new speed limit for this segment and was signed in June.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM: Request for Proposals--Ivy Hills Park Playground
ITEM TYPE: New and Unfinished Business
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation CONTACT: Meredith Lawrence, Parks and
Recreation/Assistant Public
Works Director
ACTION REQUEST:
Authorize the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the playground replacement at Ivy
Hills Park.
BACKGROUND:
In early January, the Parks and Recreation Commission established a subcommittee that met
with staff and developed criteria for a RFP (Request for Proposals) to solicit proposals to
replace the existing playground. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the RFP at
their January work session and the consensus of the members present agreed with the scope
of the project. The City Council reviewed the RFP at their January 21 meeting and asked for
changes. The City Council then formally approved the RFP at their February 4, 2025 meeting.
Staff invited reputable playground contractors to submit responses and use their professional
expertise and creativity to develop a unique play structure plan within the budget. The City
received six proposals from five different qualified vendors. Staff notified the subcommittee of
the number of proposals received and the subcommittee reviewed and narrowed down the
proposals to four to begin community engagement.
Staff conducted community engagement with roughly 650 responses throughout many
mediums of engagement--online survey, open house and meetings with students in the
schools. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the results of community
engagement and reviewed the proposals in relation to accessibility, features, and colors. The
Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the approval of a playground from Webber
Recreation at their May 13 meeting.
Staff presented the playground proposal recommended by the Parks and Recreation
Commission to the City Council at their May 20 meeting. The City Council approved the
rejection of the bids and asked staff to develop a new RFP based on their desired change in
Page 99 of 107
scope for the project.
A new RFP was developed based on the information the City Council requested be added to
the scope of the project including the following: a bid alternate for an accessible swing, the
requirement of pour-in-place surfacing for all accessible features, and an increase in budget
for the project by $20,000. Based on the extensive feedback received already and the Council's
direction on moving this project forward, staff have elected to disband the subcommittee and
develop a staff committee to narrow down the projects to three for the Parks and Recreation
Commission to review. In addition, staff have received direction not to engage the community
again on this project.
The revised playground RFP was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review
on Tuesday, July 8. The Parks and Recreation Commission voted 7-0 in favor of the updated
RFP.
With rebidding this project, the new playground installation will occur in the Spring of 2026.
FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT:
There is no cost associated with the release of the RFP.
The 2025 budget included $160,000 from the City's General Levy to cover the expenses of this
project. Based on the scope of the project, staff recommended an additional $20,000 for the
project be contributed from the Special Park Fund. Additionally, the City Council has given
direction that they would like an additional $20,000 added to this project total after reviewing
the original bids received. Thus, the RFP includes a base bid not to exceed amount of
$200,000.

provided. The proposal must be signed in ink by an official authorized to bind the submitter to its
provisions. The proposal must include a statement as to the period during which the proposal remains
valid. This period must be at least one hundred forty (140) days from the due date for this proposal.
Respondents shall include one digital and one hard copy of their proposal document. Respondents may
submit up to two proposals/designs.
1). Specifications
A. The structure shall meet and comply with all current ADA Legislation and ASTM F1487 and
include demolition and disposal of current playground equipment (options of reuse off-site of
existing equipment should be noted in proposal), any necessary sitework, an expanded container
and playground footprint, playground equipment with inclusive features, poured-in-place
rubberized and engineered wood fiber surfacing including installation for the playground site.
B. All equipment must meet age-related design criteria suitable for 2-5-year olds and 5-12 year olds
and be IPEMA certified.
C. The recycled wood timber container expansion must be included to meet the design of the
updated enclosure attached and match the color and style of the existing container timbers to
remain. The existing container does not need to be completely replaced but must have portions
replaced to ensure it meets ADA requirements and safety standards. It is anticipated that the
existing container timbers to be replaced will be salvaged from the existing infrastructure;
however, container replacement may require select timbers to be furnished by the contractor if
salvaged timbers are deemed unusable or are insufficient to meet any modified measurements
of the container.
a. To allow for adequate playground access space meeting current ADA requirements for a
pedestrian ramp, the existing bituminous surface access shall be removed and replaced
with a concrete pedestrian ramp. Bituminous surface removal limits shall be limited to
only what is necessary to remove to achieve ADA compliance within the pedestrian ramp
but may require removals up to the connecting trail system through Ivy Hills Park.
D. The City requires Respondents to include the following features when developing renderings:
a. At least five swings that may include any of the following types:
i. Parent/child swing
ii. Belt swings (minimum of 2)
iii. Toddler swing
iv. Multi-user swing or arch swing with sensory seat
b. A merry-go-round or similar feature that an individual can fully utilize without
transferring from a wheelchair
c. A dramatic play element
d. A communication board
e. At least two slides
f. At least two vinyl coated steel benches with backs anchored in the ground within the
container area. Retaining and reinstalling the two existing blue playground benches is

saw cutting and removal of a portion of the existing concrete pad used for bicycle storage
and trash collection to better align the container’s perimeter with the adjacent trail
system. The anticipated concrete removal limits can be seen on the attached playground
map.
b. It is not a requirement that the sandbox remains. Thus, Respondents are welcome to
propose using that space for different features within the playground design.

individual transferring from their chair, an inclusive swing shall be identified for both space and
cost. This alternate shall be allowed to exceed the identified playground budget limitation and
shall include the deduction price of the alternate wheelchair inclusive feature.
