DATE: July 11, 2024

SUBJECT: Blue Line Extension Update
___________________________________________________________________________
Staff requests Council discussion regarding the following:
1. West Broadway jurisdictional transfer
After formally raising the issue in March 2023, Hennepin County finally responded on
July 2, 2024. (Letter attached.)
Unfortunately their response is nowhere near a commitment to reconstruct (or pay the
cities to reconstruct) which is what the City Council identified as a critical issue in March
2023. After sixteen months, their response still adheres to their standard policy of only
paying for a mill & overlay when doing a jurisdictional transfer.
Staff has placed the attached letter on the consent agenda and is seeking Council
approval and individual Councilmembers’ signature. Alternatively the Council may move
it to the regular agenda for additional discussion or modification of the letter.
2. Anticipated changes to Municipal Consent plans
The Municipal Consent plans shown at the January 11, 2024 work session and March
7, 2024 community meeting will likely be modified as follows:
a) The most recent plans showed the Airport Road access being replaced with a slip
ramp exit-only from northbound Bottineau Blvd to Lakeland Avenue. This idea has
been dropped. Instead, a slightly modified version of the existing Airport Road
access will be shown.
b) The park and ride lot will be slightly smaller and reconfigured to provide a more
efficient layout, internal cul-de-sac, and spaces for a Traction Power Sub Station and
other LRT equipment.
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Blue Line Extension Update
c) The most recent plans showed the middle lane on southbound Bottineau Blvd.
becoming a “choice lane” so that vehicles can choose to either stay on Bottineau or
exit to go south on Highway 100. MnDOT has rejected this concept so the plans will
show only the right lane being able to exit to Highway 100.
The plans are attached with notes regarding these changes which are expected to
appear on the Municipal Consent plans we will receive in approximately two weeks.
The anticipated Crystal public hearing date is August 20, followed by Council discussion
of a possible municipal consent resolution on September 3 and action on September
17.
3. Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Staff is reviewing the SDEIS and will present possible city comments for Council
discussion at the July 16 work session.
The SEIS can be found at https://metrocouncil.org/Transportation/Projects/Light-Rail-
Projects/METRO-Blue-Line-Extension/Environmental/Supplemental-Draft-EIS.aspx.
4. Network Now
While not directly related to the Blue Line project, Metro Transit prepared the attached
informational slides about their regional findings related to existing bus service. They
will not be presenting on July 16 but they intend to have proposed service changes to
present to the City Council sometime this fall.

Re: Jurisdictional Transfer of West Broadway Avenue (CSAH 8) Mr. Struve and Mr. McCoy: The jurisdictional transfer of West Broadway Avenue (CSAH 8) between Douglas Drive (CSAH 102) and 42nd Avenue (CSAH 9) has been identified as a high priority by the cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale and is identified as a jurisdictional transfer candidate in the county’s Comprehensive Plan. This letter documents the process for a future jurisdictional transfer of West Broadway from the county to the cities, within their respective boundaries. County Road transfers are evaluated based on the county’s Jurisdictional Transfer Policy, which includes the requirements, justification, and conditions of the transfer. The policy ensures that a transferred roadway provides a 15-year service life with adequate time for the accepting agency to plan, fund, and ultimately reconstruct the road per its standards, specifications, and vision.
The cities have stated that they anticipate the need for full reconstruction along the corridor and
are requesting county cost participation to reconstruct West Broadway. This corridor is not
currently identified for roadway reconstruction in the county’s approved 5-year Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). However, county staff will be completing our biennial data driven
prioritization process, which ensures we are addressing our most critical system needs, later this
year. This prioritization process will identify new capital projects that will be requested into the
next Transportation CIP and Work Plan.
The cities preference is to accept West Broadway following the completion of the Blue Line
Extension Light Rail Transit (LRT) project along CSAH 81, anticipated to be completed in 2032.
Therefore, the county will evaluate the condition of West Broadway following the construction of
the LRT project to determine the 15-year service life cost, consistent with the county’s Jurisdictional Transfer Policy.
We look forward to working with the cities on a future transfer of this roadway in alignment with our current policy. Sincerely, Carla Stueve, P.E.

St Paul MN 55101
Subject: West Broadway Jurisdictional Transfer - METRO Blue Line Extension
Dear Mr. Zelle:
On March 7, 2023, the Crystal City Council unanimously approved a letter to the Corridor Management
Committee (CMC) regarding the proposed METRO Blue Line Extension (“the project”). The letter
described several issues related to the project including the traffic impacts from the proposed lane
reduction on Bottineau Blvd. (CSAH 81) and the poor condition of the parallel reliever route, West
Broadway (CSAH 8) in Robbinsdale and Crystal between 42nd Ave. N. (CSAH 9) and Douglas Dr. N. (CSAH
102).
Specifically, approximately 3,300 feet (0.64 mile) of West Broadway between Highway 100 in
Robbinsdale and Fairview Avenue in Crystal is essentially the same rural road it was 80 years ago. It
currently lacks storm sewer, stormwater treatment, curb & gutter or any sidewalk or multi-use path for
non-motorized travel. In addition to the property taxes, sales taxes, wheelage fees and so forth levied
on Crystal residents and businesses, Hennepin County has for decades received funds from the state
based on the condition of this segment of West Broadway but has not made the investment to
reconstruct the road.
Staff from Hennepin County Public Works, Robbinsdale, and Crystal met on May 11, 2023 to discuss a
jurisdictional transfer of West Broadway from Hennepin County to the cities. Staff discussed the
roadway condition, traffic diversion from Bottineau Blvd. due to the METRO Blue Line Extension
project and the longstanding desire and policy goal of all parties for this jurisdictional transfer to occur.
This could be accomplished either by the county reconstructing the old rural section of West Broadway
prior to the transfer, or making a binding financial commitment with the cities to have them
reconstruct it after the transfer.
Page 2 of 3
At this May 11, 2023 meeting, the cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale requested that the county provide
a cost estimate for reconstruction and a jurisdictional transfer proposal to the cities. Despite repeated
requests and reminders, the county did not provide a response until July 2, 2024. That response merely
expresses an intent for further study and is not remotely close to the commitment for reconstruction
requested by the city in the March 2023 letter.
The Crystal City Council finds that there is a direct nexus between the Blue Line Extension’s proposed
reduction of lanes on Bottineau Blvd. and the need for West Broadway, as the parallel reliever route to
Bottineau Blvd., to be a safe and fully functional urban street going forward.
The Crystal City Council notes that Crystal contributed $2.9 million of city funds towards right-of-way
acquisitions for the reconstruction and widening of Bottineau Blvd. to 6 lanes approx. 10-15 years ago.
Had Bottineau Blvd. not been widened to 6 lanes, then Hennepin County or the METRO Blue Line
Extension would now need to purchase that right-of-way for the light rail project at property values
that are at least double what they were 10-15 years ago. In effect, the City of Crystal paid for light rail
right-of-way. To our knowledge, this is without precedent in previous Metro Transit light rail projects.
The Crystal City Council also notes that Hennepin County and Metro Transit have committed to
reconstruct West Broadway in Minneapolis from James to Lyndale Avenues even though the light rail
will run on 21st Avenue and those eight blocks of West Broadway are already an urban street with
modern facilities. This disparity between how Hennepin County and Metro Transit respond to the
concerns of Minneapolis and how they respond to the concerns of Crystal (and Robbinsdale) is not
encouraging.
In approximately two months the Crystal City Council will be asked to vote on a municipal consent
resolution for the project. While all members support improved public transit service in the city, the
lack of progress on a critical issue we raised sixteen months ago is beyond disappointing. The city will
be exploring all of its options in the coming weeks. This letter is written in the hope that this critical
issue can still be resolved before the Crystal City Council takes a vote on municipal consent.
Please feel free to contact City Manager Adam Bell at 763.531.1140 or adam.bell@crystalmn.gov with
any questions.
Sincerely yours,
The Members of the Crystal City Council

EJ Benefits
•Transportation
Improved transit service
New bike and pedestrian infrastructure
Reconstruction of roadways that are shared with LRT (and West Broadway in Minneapolis) would provide:
o Refresh pavement, gutters, and drainage systems
o Widened sidewalks provide space for street cafes, landscaping, directional signage, and improved street lighting, which can greatly enhance the pedestrian experience and contribute to the overall livability of the area
o Curb extensions improve pedestrian safety by reducing crossing distance and enhancing sight line for drivers
29
EJ Benefits (continued)
•Jobs/Economic
Opportunity for community land ownership and redevelopment of land
vacated for light rail
Generation of thousands of jobs through planning and construction of BLE
Small businesses can attract more employees and customers through
improved transit options
30
EJ Benefits (continued…)
•Environmental/Health
Opportunities for new stormwater infiltration and green space
Reduced pollution compared to gas powered vehicles
Improved public health by connecting people to quality healthcare and active
transportation options
Safety and more comfortable pedestrian-scale lighting
Improved safety by reducing vehicle use and traffic accidents

We are here
Metro Transit is
growing
Why Network Now?
Pivotal time in
our history
•Ridership dropped 50% between 2019 and 2020 but is now
growing again
•30% less service, with 60+ routes suspended
Travel patterns
are changing
•Fewer downtown commuters and more diverse needs
•Customers increasingly need all-day, all-purpose transit
Workforce is a
top priority
•Bus and rail service expansion requires operators and
support staff
•Service design can impact employee satisfaction
•New regional sales tax
•4 new transitways under construction and more in planning
•New transit modes (microtransit)
Foundation for Network
Modification
•Engagement: captured values and thoughts
•Performance: details network performance,
changes since 2019, and opportunities
•Policy : regional policy guidance from the
Metropolitan Council applied
6
•Establishing community’s values and
priorities
•Public workshops, surveys, direct
customer outreach
•5,000 points of contact, 6,000 comments
•Trade -off and allocation questions
Community meetings
Ad on KMOJ’s webpage
Spring 2023 Outreach
•Top concern is reliability
•Top values
–Serving the most riders
–Providing good service in neighborhoods with
BIPOC or low-income communities
•Support service geared towards areas
where demand and ridership are high
•More frequent service, especially in the
evening and weekends
Key Engagement Themes Trade Off 8: Geographic Evenness vs. Equity
A: Similar transit service should be provided to all
communities in the region
B: More transit service should be provided to
communities that need it most
Workforce is Key to Growth
•Paused hiring in 2020
•Significant missed trips caused
Metro Transit to reduced
service in December 2022 to
ensure reliability
•Service levels have been right-
sized to match workforce
•Service and system growth tied
to workforce growth
Key Service Levels Trends
•Bus and rail service has been
reduced but is gradually
increasing.
•Most service in core cities has
been restored. BRT and local
bus service are operating at 90%
of 2019 levels
•Many commuter express routes
remain suspended

Key Ridership Trends •Ridership dropped significantly
but is growing again
•Ridership on core local routes
has risen as a proportion of total
ridership
•Productivity has declined on
non-BRT service
•Commuter express routes and
Northstar commuter rail have
been slowest to recover
When People Ride
Has Changed
•Fewer riders in the AM Rush Hour
compared to PM Rush Hour
•Ridership gap has narrowed
–Between rush hour and midday
–Between weekday and weekend
•Ridership varies more
significantly by weekday on
commuter express service than
on local service
Why People Ride Has Changed
•Most trips are now for
purposes other than
commuting during traditional
business hours
•Commute trips dropped from
34% in 2020 to 20% in 2024
•Local bus service has been
resilient, and BRT ridership is
above 2019 levels
Park and Ride Usage Has Changed
•Increased telecommuting
•Easier to drive/less expensive
to park
•Commuter express service
now focused at 1-2 key
facilities in each major
highway corridor

City Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, July 16, 2024
7 p.m.
Council Chambers/Zoom Meeting

received an award for going above and beyond their duties.*
3.2 A representative of the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association (MRPA) will present the
City of Crystal with a MRPA Award of Excellence for projects completed at Bassett Creek
Park in 2023.
4. Consent Agenda
The Council will consider the following items, which are routine and non-controversial in nature,
in a single motion:

a. The City Council work session on June 18, 2024.

Page 2 of 3
6. Regular Agenda
6.1 The Council will consider approval of disbursements of more than $25,000 submitted by the
finance department to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance
department.
Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000.
6.2 The Council will consider approval of the appointment of Trina Smith to the Inclusion and
Diversity Commission for a term to expire Dec. 31, 2025.
At the June 18 meeting, the Council considered the present appointment application but
opted to postpone the Commission appointment for further consideration. The
appointment is being presented again for consideration.
6.3 The Council will consider resolutions awarding the contract for the 2024 Mill and Overlay
project and SEH, Inc. inspection services
Earlier this year, the Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized
advertising for bids for this year’s street resurfacing (mill and overlay) project. Bids were
received and came in below the estimate. Also included in the project was a portion of the
south Public Works facility parking lot. This was proposed as an alternative bid. The staff
strongly believes this portion should be included in the project; however, if the Council
would prefer to continue the consideration of the parking lot, that portion can be
postponed to a later meeting. Recommend approval of the resolutions awarding the
contract for the 2024 street resurfacing project, including the Public Works parking lot
and SEH, Inc. inspection services.
6.4 The Council will consider a joint powers agreement with Hennepin County for assessing
services.
Since 1993, the city has contracted with Hennepin County for assessing services. The
current four-year contract expires July 31 of this year. In the spring of 2024, the Hennepin
County Board voted to end its practice of directly charging cities under 30,000 population
for assessing services. Hennepin County is also proposing a new joint powers agreement
for assessing services without a set term but can be terminated with notice to the County.
The terms of the proposed agreement are essentially the same as the previous agreements
except for the fees. The proposed agreement has been reviewed and revised by the city
attorney. Recommend approval of the new assessing service joint powers agreement with
Hennepin County and authorize the Mayor and city manager to sign the agreement.
6.5 The Council will consider a resolution to purchase amenities for the Crystal Cove Aquatic
Center.
Additional pool amenities are being proposed for the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center project.
Included in this round of amenities is a spray feature for the zero-depth pool, a climbing
wall, a rope swing, floating features and shade structures. These items were part of the
previously considered designs. Staff recommends approval.

Memorandum
DATE: July 10, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
Adam R. Bell, City Manager
FROM: John Elholm, Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Award of Excellence – Bassett Creek Park Projects
The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association (MRPA) is a professional organization that
represents park and recreation professionals from across the State of Minnesota. The
Awards Committee was created to acknowledge individual members and agencies for their
excellence in the field of Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services. The ‘Awards of Excellence’
Program annually recognizes agencies and their staff for exemplary projects and programs.
MRPA members may nominate a project or program in one of seven different categories. The
projects completed in Bassett Creek Park in 2023 were nominated as a group in the Park and
Facility category. The City of Crystal was selected as an ‘Award of Excellence’ recipient for
this project. The project included:
•Redevelopment of the disc golf course; with several
disc golf fairways being incorporated into a new
prairie restoration area.
•Replacement of a pedestrian bridge; that completes
the disc golf trail loop and is handicap accessible.
•Installation of a new dog park with accessible trails
in a degraded woodland; so the woodland habitat
could be improved as the dog park was built.
These projects seamlessly integrated the development of recreational opportunities with
natural resource improvements in the same park. The goal of the habitat improvements
was to reduce runoff into Bassett Creek, while improving the park experience for visitors.
Carissa Goebel, Brooklyn Center’s Deputy Director – Parks and Recreation, will present a
Minnesota Recreation and Park Association Award of Excellence; for the projects completed
at Bassett Creek Park in 2023.

Subject: West Broadway Jurisdictional Transfer - METRO Blue Line Extension
Dear Mr. Zelle:
On March 7, 2023, the Crystal City Council unanimously approved a letter to the Corridor Management
Committee (CMC) regarding the proposed METRO Blue Line Extension (“the project”). The letter
described several issues related to the project including the traffic impacts from the proposed lane
reduction on Bottineau Blvd. (CSAH 81) and the poor condition of the parallel reliever route, West
Broadway (CSAH 8) in Robbinsdale and Crystal between 42nd Ave. N. (CSAH 9) and Douglas Dr. N. (CSAH
102).
Specifically, approximately 3,300 feet (0.64 mile) of West Broadway between Highway 100 in
Robbinsdale and Fairview Avenue in Crystal is essentially the same rural road it was 80 years ago. It
currently lacks storm sewer, stormwater treatment, curb & gutter or any sidewalk or multi-use path for
non-motorized travel. In addition to the property taxes, sales taxes, wheelage fees and so forth levied
on Crystal residents and businesses, Hennepin County has for decades received funds from the state
based on the condition of this segment of West Broadway but has not made the investment to
reconstruct the road.
Staff from Hennepin County Public Works, Robbinsdale, and Crystal met on May 11, 2023 to discuss a
jurisdictional transfer of West Broadway from Hennepin County to the cities. Staff discussed the
roadway condition, traffic diversion from Bottineau Blvd. due to the METRO Blue Line Extension
project and the longstanding desire and policy goal of all parties for this jurisdictional transfer to occur.
This could be accomplished either by the county reconstructing the old rural section of West Broadway
prior to the transfer, or making a binding financial commitment with the cities to have them
reconstruct it after the transfer.
4.4
At this May 11, 2023 meeting, the cities of Crystal and Robbinsdale requested that the county provide
a cost estimate for reconstruction and a jurisdictional transfer proposal to the cities. Despite repeated
requests and reminders, the county did not provide a response until July 2, 2024. That response merely
expresses an intent for further study and is not remotely close to the commitment for reconstruction
requested by the city in the March 2023 letter.
The Crystal City Council finds that there is a direct nexus between the Blue Line Extension’s proposed
reduction of lanes on Bottineau Blvd. and the need for West Broadway, as the parallel reliever route to
Bottineau Blvd., to be a safe and fully functional urban street going forward.
The Crystal City Council notes that Crystal contributed $2.9 million of city funds towards right-of-way
acquisitions for the reconstruction and widening of Bottineau Blvd. to 6 lanes approx. 10-15 years ago.
Had Bottineau Blvd. not been widened to 6 lanes, then Hennepin County or the METRO Blue Line
Extension would now need to purchase that right-of-way for the light rail project at property values
that are at least double what they were 10-15 years ago. In effect, the City of Crystal paid for light rail
right-of-way. To our knowledge, this is without precedent in previous Metro Transit light rail projects.
The Crystal City Council also notes that Hennepin County and Metro Transit have committed to
reconstruct West Broadway in Minneapolis from James to Lyndale Avenues even though the light rail
will run on 21st Avenue and those eight blocks of West Broadway are already an urban street with
modern facilities. This disparity between how Hennepin County and Metro Transit respond to the
concerns of Minneapolis and how they respond to the concerns of Crystal (and Robbinsdale) is not
encouraging.
In approximately two months the Crystal City Council will be asked to vote on a municipal consent
resolution for the project. While all members support improved public transit service in the city, the
lack of progress on a critical issue we raised sixteen months ago is beyond disappointing. The city will
be exploring all of its options in the coming weeks. This letter is written in the hope that this critical
issue can still be resolved before the Crystal City Council takes a vote on municipal consent.
Please feel free to contact City Manager Adam Bell at 763.531.1140 or adam.bell@crystalmn.gov with
any questions.
Sincerely yours,
The Members of the Crystal City Council

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Consent Agenda: July 16, 2024 City Council meeting
Consideration of a new premises permit for lawful
gambling at 5590 West Broadway
DATE: July 11, 2024
FROM: City Clerk Chrissy Serres
TO: Mayor and City Council
City Manager Adam R. Bell
RE: Consideration of a new premises permit for lawful gambling at 5590 West Broadway
Background
In January, the City Council approved a new premises permit for West Metro Fire-Rescue
District Firefighters Relief Association (WMFRDFRA) to conduct lawful gambling at Blazin Wings,
Inc. d/b/a Buffalo Wild Wings #69, 5590 West Broadway.
In March, the WMFRDFRA Board decided to discontinue this premises permit for further
consideration. After further consideration, the Board decided to move forward with the new
premises permit at Buffalo Wild Wings. Because the Board notified the Minnesota Gambling
Control Board (GCB) of their decision to discontinue the permit, a new resolution of approval is
required by the City Council.
Lawful gambling may be conducted on a premises licensed for the sale of on-sale liquor by non
profit organizations licensed by the GCB. WMFRDFRA is licensed by the GCB and meets the
eligibility requirements of City Code Section 1130.05, Subd. 2. WMFRDFRA has premises
permits to conduct lawful gambling at Big Louie’s Bar and Grill located at 5216 West Broadway,
and Steve O’s located at 4900 West Broadway. Buffalo Wild Wings has a current on-sale liquor
license.
Before the GCB can reissue a new premises permit, the City Council must approve a new
resolution.
Exhibit
A.Resolution approving a new premises permit for lawful gambling.

Memorandum
DATE: July 16, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Jesse Struve, PE, Director of Public Works / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Award Contract for 2024 Mill & Overlay S.0309
Summary
The 2024 Street Maintenance Fund allocated $1,120,000 for asphalt reconditioning (2-inch mill and
overlay) which includes concrete curb and gutter repair. In addition to the mill and overlay of the city
streets, the project will also include the removal (full depth reclamation) and replacement of
the pavement at the south Public Works Facility.
Bid were opened on June 17, GMH Asphalt Corporation was the winning bidder, and the bid results are
as follows:
Contractor Base Bid (local Rds) Alt Bid (PW facility) Total
GMH Asphalt Corp $715,937.75 $282,687.75 $998,625.50
North Valley, Inc $864,669.99 $297,920.00 $1,162,589.99
C.S. McCrossan
Construction, Inc.
$917,523.50 $286,661.50 $1,204,185.00
Bituminous Roadways $930,250.22 $288,955.05 $1,219,205.27
The project consists of milling and overlaying approximately 1.9 miles of road in the Fair Neighborhood
(NW quadrant of Douglas Dr. / 36th Ave N) and reclaiming / repaving the old public works facility. The
roads were originally reconstructed in the early 2000’s and need a mill and overlay to maintain the
condition of the road. This will help extend the life of the roads and maximize the initial investment of
the reconstruction.
The south public works facility is located just east of Douglas Dr on 41st Ave N. This facility is currently
being used to store gravel, sand, salt, landscaping materials, and has a small gravel tree bed (see
attached photos). There are two main buildings on the site. One holds all the salt used by the city and
the other is used for storage by both the police and public works.
This site is vital for continued operations of the community. The new Public Works facility on
West Broadway does not have room for the salt shed, or room for large piles of gravel and sand. The
south public works facility has become even more critical because the old aggregate storage area on the
hill in Bassett Creek Park was greatly reduced due to the disk golf course. Without the south public
works site, the city would not have space to keep materials on hand to fix emergencies such as
watermain breaks or sanitary sewer backups.
6.3
In 2013 this site was evaluated for potential development. There were several issues that limited the
viability of the site for residential use including some of the area is in the floodplain and the cost
to develop would exceed the revenue of sale of the properties. While this is an old evaluation, staff
feels the increase in land valuation will still be offset by the increase in construction costs for single
family housing. If the city developed this site, the city would need to purchase another property
for the Public Works Department to continue operating as normal.
The existing condition of the south public works facility is in very poor condition (see attached photos).
The pavement has significant alligator cracking, potholes, and pavement failure. The pavement and
storm sewer structures are in such poor condition they cannot be corrected with a mill and
overlay. The recommended method is to reclaim the existing pavement with the underlying gravel
subbase and put on a new asphalt layer. This will reestablish the subgrade, allow for the correction
of the storm sewer manholes, and failed base areas. This method is much more cost effective than a
full reconstruction will give us significant life on the parking lot.
Project Cost
The total proposed project cost is $998,625.50 which includes bituminous resurfacing, concrete curb and
gutter repair, and pavement reclamation of the south public works facility. The engineering
team is currently in the process of hiring a new engineering project manager. In the absence of this
position being filled, the city will need to hire a consulting firm to do the inspection until this
position is filled. SEH provided a quote for $27,948 to fill this role. The total project cost including
the inspection is $1,026,573.50. This project is in the Long-Term Plan and there will be no special
assessments for this project.
Project Schedule
Bids were opened June 17, 2024. The Council will be asked to consider awarding the contract at the July
2nd Council meeting. The date for project completion is by Fall 2024.
Communication
Project information has been mailed to properties within the project area. Initial project mailings
included surveys to property owners to allow for resident input. Additional information will be mailed
once the project is awarded and a construction timeline is known.

Memorandum
DATE: July 7, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Manager Adam R. Bell
SUBJECT: Joint Power Agreement with Hennepin County for assessing services.
____________________________________________________________________
Background
Since 1993, the City has contracted with Hennepin County for assessing services. The current 4-
year contract expires July 31 of this year. In the spring of 2024, the Hennepin County Board
voted to end its practice of directly charging cities under 30,000 population for assessing
services. Hennepin County is also proposing a new joint powers agreement for assessing
services without a set term but can be terminated with notice to the County. The terms of the
proposed agreement are essentially the same as the previous agreements except for the fees.
The proposed agreement has been reviewed and revised by the city attorney.
City staff is very satisfied with the services provided by Hennepin County Assessing staff under
the previous agreement. We believe the same level of service will continue. The 2025-2026

Memorandum
DATE: July 10, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
Adam R. Bell, City Manager
FROM: John Elholm, Recreation Director
Jason Minnick, Facilities Manager
SUBJECT: Purchase and Installation of Amenities at the Crystal Cove Aquatic Center
The Crystal Cove Aquatic Center is under construction. Designs are complete, contractors and a
construction manager have been hired, and the double flume slide and jumping platforms have been
ordered. It’s now time to order the smaller planned amenities for the pool. These amenities were
reviewed by the Crystal Park and Recreation Commission at their meeting on July 10.
New Climbing Wall (installed) $ 55,800
The final pool design includes a small climbing wall to be located next to the
jumping platforms in the deep part of the pool. With the removal of the drop slide
from the same area, an opportunity emerged to install a larger climbing wall instead
of the drop slide on the south side of the diving well. Other options like a zip line in
place of the drop slide were considered, but the larger climbing wall is the most
cost-effective option for this space. It also eliminates the need to purchase a more
expensive pool amenity. The proposed AquaClimb climbing wall is 16’ high x 9’
wide; and will accommodate two climbers at a time. This is a unique feature that
can be purchased and installed through Recreation by Lemmie Jones, LLC.
$ 22,750 New Rope Swing (installed)
The final pool design includes a rope swing feature in the deep part of the
pool. After further review, it was noted that this feature only required 4’ of
water depth. Because of this, the AquaZip’N feature would now be installed
in the 4’ deep area. This would provide a fun amenity for kids that are too big
for the zero-depth pool, but who may not be comfortable in deep water yet.
The cost is less than previously presented. This is a unique feature that can
be purchased and installed through Recreation by Lemmie Jones, LLC.
6.5
Replacement Zero Depth Pool Feature (installed) $ 99,000
The final pool design includes replacement of the large zero depth pool spray
features. Several options were reviewed by the park and recreation commission
on July 10. The commission felt the combination of two items, the EF30 (right)
and a smaller 3-way bucket, were the best combination to replace the existing
zero-depth spray features. These are unique features that can be purchased and
installed through Recreation by Lemmie Jones, LLC.
New Floating Features $ 29,850
The final pool design includes 3 floating features in the part of the pool with 4’
depth. These features provide something to climb on in only 4’ of water. By
moving the AquaZip’N to the same part of the pool, the proposal is to only
purchase 2 floating features. These are a Softplay items (gator and snake) that
can be purchased through Webber Recreational Design, Inc. using the
Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program.
New Shade Structures (installed) $ 95,820
The final pool design includes new shade structures on the south and east
sides of the pool. These shade structures replace 4 umbrellas that were
removed for construction. These are USA Shade items that can be
purchase through Webber Recreational Design, Inc. using the Sourcewell
cooperative purchasing program.
The installed items include prevailing wage rates. The combined cost of these amenities is within the
$375,000 budget for amenities presented in June of 2024. Footings and other concrete work will be
installed by a concrete contractor under a separate agreement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution entering into agreements with Recreation by
Lemmie Jones, LLC and Webber Recreational Design, Inc. for the following amenities.
New Climbing Wall $ 55,800
New Rope Swing $ 22,750
Replace Zero Depth Pool Features $ 99,000
New Floating Features $ 29,850
New Shade Structures $ 95,820
Total $ 303,220

Company identify and resolve the issue. At no cost to Purchaser, Company will act promptly to repair or replace defective items at Company’s option.

TO: Adam R. Bell, Executive Director (for July 16 meeting)
DATE: July 10, 2024
SUBJECT: Authorize a Request for Proposals for development of 6110 Lakeland Ave. N.
The EDA is asked to authorize a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sale of 6110
Lakeland Avenue North.
On December 5, 2023 the EDA authorized the acquisition of this tax forfeited property for
$60,000 and the deed transferring title from the state to the EDA was recorded on February
14, 2024.
The property currently contains a vacant home constructed in 1942 and a detached garage
built in 1982. The home and garage are in a blighted condition and have been for many
years. Kevitt Companies has been retained to demolish the buildings and is expected to
complete that work by the end of July.
Staff has prepared an RFP for the property sale with a minimum price of $110,000 and is
requesting that the EDA authorize the posting of this RFP to develop the property. The table
on the following page outlines significant elements of the RFP. The property is zoned R-1 and
this lot is large enough that a single family dwelling (with or without an accessory dwelling
unit) or a two family dwelling would be permitted uses.
The property is generally similar in size to 4824 56th Ave. N. which was sold to Noberg Homes
for construction of a single family home with an attached accessory dwelling unit. That
building was recently completed and the property sold for $670,000.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION:
Authorize the attached Request for Proposal for development of 6110 Lakeland Avenue
North.

Agreement and pay $3,000 earnest money.
6. No later than 2 months after the EDA public hearing, the Builder must close on the sale of the lot.
At closing, the Builder shall make full payment for the remainder of the lot price (the EDA does not
provide interim financing). To save time, Builder may begin the building permit application
process before the closing date (see Section E, below). However, the permit will not be issued
until Builder has closed on the lot.
7. No later than one year after Closing, the Builder must complete the residential dwelling.

D. Specifications.
1. Grading and Drainage.
a) The elevation may be refined by Builder and EDA staff during the development of the
specific building plan prior to final EDA approval of the lot sale. Upon completion of the
final grade but prior to installing landscaping, EDA staff may require the Builder to submit
an as-built survey to the Building Official showing the final grade elevations.
b) Drainage from the building, garage, driveway and any other structures shall be
accommodated on the site so that water flow onto adjacent properties is minimized.
Builder’s final grade shall carry water primarily to the street. If determined by the Building
Official to be necessary, Builder will install rain gutters to direct roof runoff to minimize
impacts on adjacent properties. Builder will restore any disturbed turf or landscaping.
c) Builder will follow Best Management Practices to minimize erosion and runoff onto
adjacent properties and public ways. At a minimum, Builder will install silt fencing or
wattle logs, and a temporary rock construction entrance to prevent runoff silt from flowing
onto the street or adjacent properties. These erosion control measures should be
installed at the beginning of building construction as this is the first inspection completed
by the Building Official.
2. Utilities.
a) Utility meters shall be reasonably screened from street view; locations must be specified
on the plans submitted with the building permit application.
b) All utility service lines shall be underground. Utilities may locate necessary facilities such
as pedestals or boxes in the street right-of-way or utility & drainage easements.
c) Any expenses for connection of the building to utilities shall be the responsibility of
Builder, including any necessary landscaping or sidewalk, curb or pavement work, but
excepting reasonable costs associated with sewer stub replacement discussed in e)
below.
d) Municipal Water. Municipal water is available at the lot line along Lakeland Avenue North
using an existing service stub. There are no WAC charges. Only one city water meter will
be allowed for the new building, but builder may install a privately owned and operated
submeter for the ADU or second unit.
e) Municipal Sanitary Sewer. Municipal sanitary sewer is available at the lot line along
Lakeland Avenue North using an existing service stub. It is recommended but not
required to line the sanitary sewer service to the main. There is one sewer availability
charge (SAC) credit for the property. If a two-family dwelling is constructed, a SAC fee of
$2,485 will be levied by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services for the second unit.
This fee will be payable at the time of building permit issuance.
f) Private Utilities, including natural gas (Centerpoint Energy), electricity (Xcel Energy),
telephone (Lumen), and cable television (Comcast). The building shall access private
utilities via underground connections only. Private utilities are located along both the east
and west property lines.
g) Questions regarding city utilities should be directed to Utility Superintendent Patrick Sele
(763.531.1166 or patrick.sele@crystalmn.gov). Questions regarding private utilities
should be directed to the respective utility company.

3. Driveways and Curb Cuts. A hard-surfaced driveway is required to provide access to the new
building’s garage from Lakeland Avenue North. The building permit application for the new
building must include a site plan showing the proposed driveway location(s). A separate permit
and escrow are required. Regardless of the type of building constructed, only one curb cut is
allowed. It is highly recommended that the existing curb cut be used to avoid disturbance to
Lakeland Avenue and the Crystal Lake Regional Trail.
4. General Construction Practices. The construction site, neighboring property and adjacent
public streets shall be kept free of construction debris at all times, and Builder must have a
construction dumpster to prevent debris from being scattered or blown around. No construction
workers, construction equipment or construction material shall enter neighboring properties
without said property owner's consent.
5. Building Standards.
a) Compliance with Crystal City Code.
b) Minimum required setbacks for the residential dwelling are as follows: 30 feet from the
front and rear lot lines and 5 feet from side lot lines. City code does have some limited
exceptions to the setback requirements; those can be discussed in detail with EDA staff if
your proposal is accepted.
d) Whatever construction type is proposed, the primary unit shall have at least three
bedrooms and two bathrooms.
e) Exterior materials (siding, soffit, doors and windows) shall be low maintenance. The use
of brick or stucco is encouraged. Fiber cement siding or wood siding with natural
resistance to decay are encouraged but they must be properly stained or painted. Vinyl
or other low maintenance siding materials are generally acceptable and can be made
more desirable through the use of shakes, fish scales or other styles to break up the
pattern. Hardboard panels or hardboard lap siding are not acceptable.
f) Whatever construction type is proposed, the primary unit shall have a garage for at least
two cars. If an ADU is constructed, a parking space shall also be provided for that unit. If
a two-family dwelling is constructed, the second unit shall have a garage for at least one
vehicle.
g) The design should emphasize the front door as the focal point for each unit. A large and
usable (minimum depth 6 feet) front porch is desired. Garage door dominance in design
should be minimized as much as possible, such as by using separate doors for each
stall.
h) Plans should present a balanced and pleasing distribution of wall and window areas from
all views. Blank walls are not permitted; each wall shall have some windows. Corner
rooms should have windows on both walls, if possible. To the extent that southern
exposures are present, building designs are expected to enhance wintertime natural light
and passive solar heating.
i) No equipment such as air-conditioning cooling structures or condensers that generate
noise shall be located within a side setback , drainage & utility easement, or within 10 feet
of living quarters located in a building on adjacent property.
j) If a two-family dwelling is proposed, the city would assign the addresses for each unit as
6110 and 6112 Lakeland Avenue North once the building is completed.
6. Landscaping. The lot shall be landscaped to be aesthetically pleasing in all seasons. Land
forms and plant materials shall be used to define the site and blend neatly with adjo ining property.
At a minimum the following tree planting is required:
Page 4 of 4
474751v3 CBR CR150-4
▪In the front yard, plant one large-species deciduous shade tree and one ornamental tree; and
▪In the rear yard, plant one large-species deciduous shade tree.
Attachment D is a listing of tree species allowed by the EDA. If Builder desires to close on the
sale of the new building prior to completion and acceptance of the landscaping, the EDA may
require that funds be escrowed by the Builder to guarantee that landscaping is completed in a
timely manner after closing.
7.Land Use and Property Tax Status. The lot and the improvements thereon must remain on the
property tax rolls, shall be classified as taxable residential property, and may not be reclassified in
any way that makes it exempt from property taxes.
E.Building Permit Application Process.
When applying for a building permit to construct the new building, Builder will need to provide a complete
building permit application, including the following items:
❑Plans, with sufficient fire separation detail between the two units, if applicable (2 copies).
❑Land Survey (2 copies) with building elevations, drainage patterns and easements.
❑Energy Calculations.
❑Photo of the sign to be posted in accordance with city code section 403 .
❑Escrow form .
Questions regarding building permit forms, fees, inspections, etc. should be directed to the Administration
counter (763.531.1000). The Building Official and EDA staff will review all plans to assure conformance
with Builder's proposal, these Guidelines and the building plan approved by the EDA. If any element of
the plan is in conflict with the above criteria, EDA staff will notify Builder of any conflicts and note which
changes are required. Unless the modifications can be clearly indicated on the originally submitted plans,
Builder shall submit revised plans for final approval by the Building Official and EDA staff.
