Date: January 21, 2021
Subject: Agenda Items for Monday, January 25, 2021
Open Forum
We are not aware of anyone who intends to address Council for the open forum.
Item 5.1
This item acknowledges the persons and companies who donated to the Shop with a Cop program. The
format of the event was changed due to the pandemic, but it was still very successful. Chief Hoyt would like
to express the department’s gratitude.
Items 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
Item 6.1 – there are no new business license requests.
Item 6.2 ‐ involves routine financial claims.
Item 6.3 – there are no new liability claims to report.
Item 6.4
The city is asked to set its 2021 date for the local board of appeal and equalization meeting. The hearing must
be held between April 1 and May 31. Staff recommends Thursday, April 1, as the initial date and April 12
(6:30 pm prior to a regularly scheduled council meeting) as the reconvened meeting date. The law requires
that at least one voting member has completed the training within the past four years. Mayor Hemken’s
training is still valid, and Council Members Elder and London are planning to complete the training by
February 1.
Item 6.5
This item approves final payment of $210.63 to Omann Brothers, Inc. for completion of the north water
tower driveway and restoration project. Originally, the restoration work was to be completed by Rachel
Contracting (the contractor for the water tower bypass valve project) in 2018 but was removed from the
contract as Osseo Construction (the contractor responsible for painting the water tower) did not
complete their portion of the project until fall of 2019. Osseo Construction has agreed to assume
responsibility for the costs of driveway restoration costs beyond the original Rachel Contracting bid
amount. The final construction amount is $27,012.50 or $4,977.50 under the original quote of $31,990.
The underrun was primarily due to less topsoil borrow than estimated for the project. The project was
funded by the Joint Water Commission. Director Weber and I recommend approval.

Item 7.1
A hearing has been scheduled for businesses that failed tobacco and liquor compliance checks on
December 23, 2020. The Police Department conducted checks at 16 businesses and there were seven
failures (six tobacco and one off‐sale liquor). All failures are considered first violations. The fine for
failing a tobacco compliance check for a first violation within 36 months is $300 plus a 3‐day
suspension. The fine for failing a liquor compliance check for a first violation within 24 months is $250
plus a 3‐day suspension. Businesses may elect identification training in lieu of the suspension. The city
charges $100 for the identification training. Council should call upon a representative of the business to allow
the licensees to admit or deny the allegation of the illegal sale. Following the hearing, the city clerk will mail a
notice containing instructions on payment of the fine and options for identification training or a suspension
period. A representative of the police department will be in attendance if Council has questions.
Item 8.1
A feasibility report was reviewed with Council on August 24, 2020, for improvements at the public
works facility. At the work session of January 19, 2021, staff presented a phased approach that included
phase 1 this year for $1,690,001 and phase 2 in 2024 for approximately $5.7 million. Implementing a
phased approach would allow Phase 1 to be completed without the need for bonding. Phase 1 could be
funded by the building reserve fund. The proposed 3,000 sf low temperature heated building will
provide immediate additional storage space within the existing facility. Council is being asked to
authorize preparation of plans and specifications for Phase 1 improvements at the public works facility.
Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 10.1
At the work session of January 19, 2021, staff reviewed the recently formed coalition “Just Deeds”
which is committed to acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in housing in Minnesota.
Council expressed support for the program. Council is asked to adopt the resolution disavowing and
condemning the past use of discriminatory covenants, prohibiting discriminatory covenants from being
used in the future, and directing city staff to participate in the work of the Just Deeds Coalition to
educate the community about this and other historically discriminatory housing practices.
If you have any questions regarding items in the agenda packet, I would appreciate a call before the
meeting so that I can research any issues and be prepared to respond at the meeting.

WMFRD UPDATE
Item 11.1
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion item 11.1, Update from West Metro Fire‐
Rescue District.
Fire Chief Sarah Larson provided a quarterly update to the Council. She shared
information regarding calls for service, duty crew staffing that will be reduced after
firefighters receive the COVID‐19 vaccinations, outreach programs (Be a Santa to a
Senior and Birthday Brigade drive‐bys), promotion of apprentice firefighters, FEMA
public assistance grants, facility improvements that included an LED lighting project
at all three stations, and virtual fire prevention education programs.
Council Member London referred to a past StarTribune article about the ownership
change of North Ridge and the operational changes. He asked the fire chief if WMFR
District is handling more calls for lift assists than in past years. Ms. Larson stated she
will research the data and provide a response through the city manager.
Mr. Kunde responded to Council Member London’s inquiry about the funding sources
for the LED project (Xcel Energy rebate and a state grant).
Next Chief Larson and Assistant Chief Josh Kunde presented a report on options to
replace major apparatus. Chief Larson explained the history of the district’s current
four front‐line engines. She stated the fire engine is the work horse of any fire
department. She stated the decision to replace a vehicle is usually made based on age
and mileage. She pointed out there are many other factors that affect vehicle life. She
City Council Work Session January 19, 2021
Page 2
explained the American Public Works Association (APWA) has developed a point
system for vehicle replacement and includes factors such as age, miles/hours, type of
service, reliability, maintenance/repair, and body condition. Mr. Kunde reviewed the
point ranges and engine conditions with scores from 22 to 24 points. He stated
potential maintenance costs to retain an apparatus beyond 11 years would require the
district’s budget for repairs to increase nearly double (from $35,000 to $65,000). They
reviewed the seven different options that were developed for potential replacement of
the engines. Mr. Kunde spoke of the importance of maintaining standardization of
apparatus which would require replacing all four apparatus within a 12‐month
window. He stated the District’s Board of Directors’ recommendation is option 2 which
replaces two engines at 11 years and two engines at 12 years with leases commencing
in 2022 and 2023. He stated this would garner the lowest cost per engine, avoid
escalating maintenance costs and achieve the highest resale value per engine.
Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, explained that the fire board will make the final
decision on equipment but it desires Council’s input. He stated the major apparatus
report was shared with the city of Crystal last week. He stated the feedback received
from both city councils will be taken back to the February fire board meeting.
Mr. McDonald pointed out that Option 2 would equate to the lowest annual lease cost
per engine, it would avoid escalating maintenance costs for the existing engines, and
it would bring the highest resale value per engine (estimated between $125,000‐
$175,000 per engine).
Mr. McDonald stated similar to when the aerial ladder truck (tower) was acquired via
lease in 2017, the cost of the lease payment for the new engines would be incorporated
into the West Metro Fire‐Rescue District annual operating budget; the cities would not
have a large outlay of capital upfront as the cost would be spread over a number of
years.
He informed Council at its December meeting the board also voted to amend the
Capital Fund Policy to reserve the proceeds from the future sale of major apparatus to
purchase/lease new major apparatus or to pay down an existing lease. AEM has been
coordinating with the District to show how the proceeds from the sale of the engines
could be utilized to offset the cities capital fund contribution.
Mr. McDonald stated funds have been saved in the fire capital fund for the potential
future purchase of major fire apparatus and the balance of the fund as of September
30, 2020 was $767,336. If the acquisition of the new engines is by lease, the capital funds
could be used to “buy down” the impact of the new lease payments on the general
fund budget, saved for future major apparatus purchases and/or used for future capital
improvements to Station #3 that are the city’s responsibility (roof, boiler, etc.). It was
noted that squad 1 (heavy‐duty rescue) will be the next vehicle due for replacement.
Council expressed support for Option 2, replacing the engines with leases commencing
in 2022 and 2023.
Council thanked Sarah Larson and Josh Kunde for the informative report.

PUBLIC WORKS
FACILITY
EXPANSION
DISCUSSION
(IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT NO. 1039)
Item 11.2
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion item 11.2, Discuss next steps related to Phase
1 Improvements at the Public Works Facility (Improvement Project No. 1039).
Mr. Dan Boyum, city engineer, indicated Bruce Paulson, architect with Stantec, is
attending the meeting in a virtual capacity for any questions from Council. He stated
the original feasibility study for a 20,000 square foot addition was presented to Council
on August 24, 2020. He stated central garage services approximately 173 pieces of
equipment, 34 police vehicles, and several heavy‐duty trucks. There are 29 vehicles
and pieces of equipment that are always stored outside and 12 vehicles and pieces of
equipment that are stored outside when not in use. Mr. Boyum stated the building was
constructed in 1979 and a garage bay, additional storage and lift was added in 2000.
He illustrated the interior and exterior of the existing facility as well as the equipment.
Mr. Boyum stated a phased approach to the public works expansion is proposed. Phase
1 could occur in 2021 that would include a 3,000 square foot detached soil storage
building; renovations to the existing building; air conditioning and parts storage in the
mechanic’s bay; security improvements (fence gate and cameras); partial parking
lot/pavement improvements; and storm water treatment improvements. He noted
immediate storage space would be provided moving soil storage from the existing
facility. The estimated cost of phase 1 is $1,690,001 and would be paid by the building
reserve fund.
Mr. Boyum stated Phase 2 (proposed for 2024) would include a 20,000 square foot
addition and other improvements. He noted electronic vehicle charging stations would
be added. He stated phase 2 is estimated to cost $5.7 million and could be partially
funded by a state bonding bill.
Mr. Boyum stated a 30‐year replacement analysis was prepared to identify equipment
replacement savings associated with storing vehicles and equipment indoors versus
outside. He stated the estimated cost savings to the city by moving fleet vehicles inside
is $33,013 annually or $990,393 over 30 years.
Mr. Boyum reviewed past questions from Council. He reported that neighboring cities
have indoor storage for vehicles including the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park,
Coon Rapids, Crystal, Fridley, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, and Plymouth. Council
Member Elder noted that none of the cities have reverted back to outdoor storage of
vehicles/equipment.
Mr. Boyum stated the estimated operating costs are $1,900/year for air conditioning for
the mechanics bay (phase 1), and $21,000/year for lighting, power costs and heating
costs (phase 2).
Mr. Boyum stated the next step is authorization to prepare plans and specifications for
Phase 1. Staff was directed to present information at the January 25 Council Meeting.
Mr. McDonald inquired of the bidding environment this spring.
Mr. Boyum stated it is beneficial to seek bids as early in the year as possible.
Council thanked Mr. Boyum for the presentation.

GREENSTEP CITIES
PROGRAM UPDATE
Item 11.3
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion item 11.3, Update on city’s participation in
the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program.
Mr. Jeff Alger, community development specialist, stated the city has been involved
with the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program since 2015. He stated New Hope has
attained step 3 of the program and has 91 completed best practice actions. The city was
presented with the Sustainable City Award in 2017 by the League of Minnesota Cities.
Mr. Alger reviewed the 2020 actions (energy efficient and environmentally friendly
technology, equipment and building material used in construction of new police
station/city hall; stormwater treatment and draintile system installed with parking lots
at new police station/city hall; water bottle filling stations at new police station/city
hall; employee initiated plastics recycling program at city hall; re‐use of appliances
from EDA acquired property; establishment of solar energy system regulations
allowing for roof and ground mounted solar energy systems.
He indicated steps 4 and 5 challenge cities to measure and report the aggregate and
quantitative results of multiple actions taken in an attempt to present the “state of
sustainability” achieved by a city. The purpose is to make cities accustomed to
gathering data annually and comparing the data over time. It gives cities the
opportunity to find out where they stand and compare to others. In order to receive
“Step 4” recognition, cities must record eight required core metrics selected by the
program and five metrics of choice selected by the city. Each metric contains multiple
metric elements, all of which must be completed. In order to receive “Step 5”
recognition, over the course of one year, cities must improve upon any three of the
eligible metric elements.
Staff does not believe all of the required core metric data is tracked and/or easily
attainable. It is estimated that it would take between 70‐100 hours of staff time to gather
and submit the required data. He stated staff will continue to utilize the program to
help the city achieve its sustainability goals through the implementation of the 29 best
practices.
Mr. Alger reported that New Hope ranks third of the 141 participating cities in total
number of best practice actions.
Council Member Isenberg inquired which of the cities that are in the lead. Mr. Alger
stated he believes Roseville and West St. Paul rank higher than New Hope.
Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, indicated the city will continue to track initiatives
and participate as time permits.
Council thanked Mr. Alger for the update.
JUST DEEDS
COALITION
DISCUSSION
Item 11.4
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion item 11.4, Discuss Just Deeds coalition.
Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, stated the city was contacted in December of 2020
regarding this initiative and he asked Jeff Alger to research the matter.
City Council Work Session January 19, 2021
Page 5
Mr. Jeff Alger, community development specialist, stated the city of Golden Valley
recently formed the coalition, which “is committed to acknowledging and addressing
systemic racism in housing in Minnesota.” The cities of Golden Valley and Robbinsdale
have passed resolutions in support of the work and several western and southern
suburbs have expressed interest in joining the coalition.
In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law allowing property owners the ability
to renounce covenants on their properties. Just Deeds provides free legal and title
services to help property owners find discriminatory covenants and remove them from
their property titles. In October of 2020, Hennepin County’s Board of Commissioners
passed a resolution disavowing past practices of placing discriminatory covenants in
real estate titles.
In late 2020, staff with the University of Minnesota’s Mapping Prejudice initiative
determined that there are no know discriminatory covenants recorded for properties
in New Hope. The city attorney for the city of Golden Valley also confirmed that was
the case. The United States Supreme Court ruled in 1948 that the covenants could not
be enforced. Much of the housing stock in New Hope was constructed after that ruling,
in the 1950s and 1960s. As such, the legal and title services provided by Just Deeds
would not be applicable to properties in New Hope. Instead, representatives of Just
Deeds have recommended that New Hope’s involvement in the coalition be centered
on the educational components. Examples might include further exploring why the
practice never occurred in New Hope, how the absence of covenants impacted
development of the city, and what barriers the city has faced, despite the absence of
covenants.
Mr. Alger indicated the New Hope Human Rights Commission discussed the topic at
their January 4, 2021, meeting and expressed support for the initiative. It was
recommended that New Hope participate in the coalition. The City Council has the
option of passing a resolution in support of the work and agreeing to have the New
Hope logo included on Just Deeds’ website, which is currently under development.
Council Member London pointed out he was not able to find any materials on‐line for
the coalition. Mr. Alger stated the website is being developed. Mayor Hemken noted
the realtors association is supportive of the coalition.
Mr. Alger requested Council’s feedback on the topic.
Council directed staff to prepare a resolution in support of the coalition for adoption
at the January 25 Council Meeting.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m. as there was no further business to come
before the Council at its work session.
Respectfully submitted,

By: Tim Hoyt, Chief of Police
Agenda Title
Motion accepting donations received for Shop with a Cop
Requested Action
Staff recommends that the City Council acknowledge the generous donations for the Shop with a Cop
program which took place on December 16th and December 17th, 2020.
Background
In the past, Shop with a Cop has literally been just that ‐ going out to a store and shopping with police
officers during the holiday season. Due to the global pandemic, the structure was changed to assure the
safety of the families. Parents provided Christmas lists to Community Relations Officer Brad Kallio, who then
did the shopping for them. The families were invited to city hall, Northwood Conference Room, one‐by‐one
for approximately 45 minutes each. There was a half hour between each family to clean and disinfect the
room. Four families were hosted on December 16th, and four on December 17th. In total, 21 children between
the ages of 2 years and 16 years old received gifts. The parents also received Hy‐Vee, Target and Chik‐Fil‐A
gift cards.
Amazingly, the costs for this event were taken care of 100% by donations. The following gift cards and cash
were received by the city of New Hope Shop With A Cop:
Organization Donated Items Contact Funds

Toy Fest Gift Cards and Cash Mike & Allison Isenberg $1,770

Agenda Title
Approval of April 1, 2021, as date for the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization Meeting
Requested Action
Staff recommends the City hold the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization on Thursday, April 1, at 7:00 p.m.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council serves as the Board of Appeal and Equalization in New Hope. The hearing provides an
opportunity for property owners to question their property valuations. Appeals may be made in person or in
writing. The Board must meet between April 1 and May 31.
Background
The County requests that the City schedule its Local Board of Appeal and Equalization Meeting dates as soon as
possible. After the initial meeting, the Board must reconvene within twenty calendar days. Staff recommends April
1, at 7:00 p.m. as the initial date and April 12, at 6:30 p.m. (prior to the Council Meeting) as the reconvened meeting
date.
The county assessors are willing to meet with the Council at a work session prior to the actual meeting if so desired
by the Council. In this past this has served as an opportunity to familiarize the Council with property valuations,
sales information, and the Council’s role as Board of Equalization.
Residents will be notified of the Board of Appeal and Equalization meeting in their tax statements and city
publications (newsletter article and “In the Pipeline” utility bill inserts). The law requires attendance at the
local board meeting by at least one voting member who has, within the last four years, attended the training
course, and New Hope meets the requirements (Kathi Hemken – certification effective until 7/1/21). On‐line
training is available until February 1 at https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/board‐appeal‐and‐equalization‐
training.

I:\RFA\PUBWORKS\2021\Council\1008 North Water Tower Painting\1‐25 Final Payment Omann
Request for Action
January 25, 2021
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Director
Agenda Title
Resolution approving final payment to Omann Brothers, Inc. in the amount of $210.63 for the New Hope
water tower driveway and restoration improvements (Improvement Project No. 1008)
Requested Action
Staff recommends that the Council accept the Water Tower Driveway and Restoration project and authorize
final payment.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council routinely considers public infrastructure improvement projects to extend the useful life of
the infrastructure and/or improve the level of service.
Background
The project consisted of the installation of a new driveway and associated restoration work at the north water
tower located at Aquila Avenue N and 47th Avenue N. Originally this work had been planned to be
constructed in 2018 by Rachel Contracting, the contractor for the 2018 North Water Tower Bypass Valve
project. The driveway installation was scheduled to occur in fall of 2018 after the North Water Tower Painting
project was completed. However, Osseo Construction Co. LLC, the contractor responsible for the water tower
painting, did not complete their portion of the project until the fall of 2019. Due to the extreme delay, the city
eliminated the driveway restoration work via change order from the Rachel Contracting project. They also
reviewed the issue with Osseo Construction and their responsibility to cover additional driveway restoration
costs beyond the original Rachel Contracting bid amount.
After discussions with Osseo Construction, the city obtained quotes from contractors to complete the
driveway restoration work. Omann Brothers was the lowest quote received with an original quote amount of
$31,990.00. The final construction amount is $27,012.50, or $4,977.50 under the original quote amount. This
underrun is primarily due to less topsoil borrow than estimated on the project.
Funding
The total cost of the quote project, $27,012.50, minus the original driveway restoration bid from Rachel
Contracting, $6,286, equals $20,726.50. This amount will be deducted from the Osseo Construction final
payment which is scheduled to be brought for approval at the February 22, 2021 council meeting.

Request for Action
January 25, 2021
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: City Manager
By: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Agenda Title
Appearance by licensees regarding consequences for failing tobacco or liquor compliance checks
Requested Action
Staff requests that Council take action as required under City Code regarding penalties for failing a license
compliance check.
Background
Tobacco and liquor compliance checks were conducted on December 23, 2020, by the Police Department. Due to
the pandemic some restaurants holding on‐sale liquor licenses were closed and therefore were not included in
this round of compliance checks. A total of sixteen businesses were checked and there were six tobacco failures
and one off‐sale liquor failure.
In accordance with city code, the businesses that failed have been invited to the Council Meeting regarding the
alleged violation. The licensee must admit or deny the allegation. All alleged violations are considered first
violations relative to the fine schedule. The Council should call upon each business to address the Council. A
representative from the police department will be in attendance if any questions arise.
Business Address Violation
Now Mart 7201 Bass Lake Road Tobacco
New Hope Fuel & Wash 9400 49th Ave N Tobacco
Hy‐Vee Wine & Spirits 8202 42nd Ave N Tobacco and Liquor
New Hope Smoke Shop 2767 Winnetka Ave N Tobacco
Family Dollar 2733 Winnetka Ave N Tobacco
Big B’s BP Gas 7800 27th Ave N Tobacco
The fine for failing a tobacco compliance check for a first violation within 36 months is $300 plus a 3‐day
suspension (may elect training in lieu of suspension). The ordinance was last revised in August of 2020.
The fine for failing a liquor compliance check for a first violation within 24 months is $250 plus a 3‐day suspension
(may elect training in lieu of suspension).
The city charges $100 for the identification training.
Following the hearing, the city clerk will mail the businesses a notice containing instructions on payment of the
fine, identification training or the license suspension period.

Request for Action
January 25, 2021
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Public Works Director
Agenda Title
Resolution authorizing preparation of plans and specifications for Phase 1 improvements at the Public
Works facility (Improvement Project No. 1039)
Requested Action
Staff is requesting that Council authorize the city engineer to proceed with preparation of plans and
specifications for the Phase 1 Improvements at the Public Works Facility.
Policy/Past Practice
It is a past practice of staff to request direction from the City Council on potential improvement projects or
expansions to city facilities. The cost of a central garage expansion was identified in the city’s 2018 Capital
Improvement Plan. After review of the city’s long‐term plan in late 2016, the City Council postponed any
action associated with the project until at least 2020 due to the police station/city hall and pool/park
improvement projects. The Council authorized the preparation of this feasibility report at the October 28, 2019,
council meeting. The feasibility report was presented at the August 24, 2020 council meeting. Public works
and engineering staff have given tours of the existing facility. Staff has prepared updated information based
on past meeting discussions and the tours.
Background
The central garage is located at the city’s public works facility at 5500 International Parkway. Staff maintains
approximately 173 pieces of equipment, 34 police vehicles, and several heavy‐duty trucks. There are 29 vehicles
and pieces of equipment that are always stored outside and 12 vehicles and pieces of equipment that are stored
outside when not in use.
In 2016, the city solicited proposals for engineering and architectural services associated with developing a
concept plan and preparing construction plans. The request included several building and site improvements.
While the project did not move forward at that time, the present‐day space needs for the facility and site remain
unchanged. In order to store all vehicles and equipment indoors and allow for improved efficiency, the director
of public works and staff are recommending that the following building and site improvements be considered
in the feasibility report:
Public works facility expansion with approximately 20,000 square‐feet of new garage/equipment
storage
Renovation of the existing garage/equipment storage space to improve vehicle circulation and
equipment storage
Renovation of the existing parts/maintenance areas to expand/improve parts storage
Addition of air conditioning in mechanics work bay
Renovation of some of the existing offices
Replace parking lot and storage yard pavement
Agenda Section
Development &
Planning
Item Number
8.1
Provide a new fuel dispensing system for diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline adjacent to the new
garage/equipment storage
Provide a new detached 3,000 square‐foot low temperature heated building for dirt used in patching
water main breaks
Security improvements both inside and out at the building including a new security gate and cameras
Storm water improvements as approved by the watershed
At the August 24, 2020 council meeting, the Council requested more information regarding the 30‐year fleet
replacement analysis as it relates to extending the life of vehicles, examples, and explanation of the
calculations. The Council also asked staff to provide the projected operating cost increases for the expansion.
The Council was encouraged to contact the public works director to take a tour of the public works facility.
Public works and engineering/architectural staff compiled more information to address these requests. The
additional information is included in the engineering memo and summarized below:
30‐year fleet replacement analysis – the original analysis was revised to provide more detail on the
formulas used in the calculations.
Examples from other communities – the following examples discuss the increase in vehicle life
associated with storing vehicles inside versus outside. Staff used 2.5 years in the analysis above.
o Town of Meredith, New Hampshire – Cost Benefit Analysis – Page 3 discusses 2.5 years more
life with storing vehicles indoors
o Town of Upton, Massachusetts – Public Works Facility Feasibility Study Presentation – Page 5
of 8 of the presentation discusses 3 years more life with storing vehicles indoors.
Operating Costs (can be updated after final design)
o Phase 1 – Air conditioning for mechanics bay = $1,900 per year.
o Phase 2 – Lighting, power costs (50% demand), and heating costs = $20,970.44 per year
o Total – Phase 1 + Phase 2 = $22,870.44 per year
As discussed in the feasibility report, a phased approach to the improvements is being recommended by staff.
Proceeding with the Phase 1 Improvements at this time will avoid bonding for improvements as discussed in
the funding section below. Also, including the 3,000 square‐foot, low temperature heated building with the
Phase 1 Improvements will provide immediate storage space within the existing facility until such time as the
future Phase 2 Improvements are completed.
Funding
The feasibility report identified an estimated total project cost of $6,414,066.60. The report also identified an
estimated total project cost for a reduced project scope of $1,632,852.00 (includes alternates). Since the report
was prepared, the estimated project costs were increased by 3.5% per year to reflect construction of the Phase 1
improvements in 2021 and Phase 2 improvements in 2024. The updated estimated project costs are
$1,690,001.83 for Phase 1 (includes alternates) and $5,767,592.89 for Phase 2 Improvements (including charging
stations).
The city started setting aside funds for public works building improvements through central garage charges in
2017 and continues to increase the amount set aside on an annual basis. It is anticipated that the reduced scope
public works building improvements (Phase 1) could be paid for with the funds currently saved for that
purpose along with utilizing central garage reserve funds. The availability of internal funding from the
temporary financing fund for the larger scope project will not be known until the Civic Center Park and pool
projects are completed. Funding for the improvements was discussed in a previous memo from AEM. AEM
has calculated there will be $1,650,000 in the building replacement reserve at the end of 2021. As discussed
above, the estimated pricing for the Phase 1 Improvements and alternates is $1,690,001.83. Depending upon
the final pricing the city receives on the Phase 1 Improvements, some alternates may not be able to be accepted
or additional internal financing will need to be reviewed from the central garage reserve fund.

Authorization to Prepare Plans and Specifications
City Project No. 1054
Dear Bernie,
A feasibility report was prepared and presented for this project at the August 24, 2020 Council
Meeting. Following the presentation of the feasibility report, project costs and drawings were
updated to reflect Phase 1 and Phase 2 Improvements in 2021 and 2024, respectively. Electric
charging stations were added, and room revisions were made to the original feasibility report
drawings based upon further Public Works Staff comments. Public Works and Engineering Staff
also provided tours to Council members in the fall.
The Council was updated on the project along with Phase 1 Improvements at the January 19,
2021 Council Work Session. Responses were provided to questions from the August 24, 2020
Council Meeting. There was discussion on the schedule and bidding climate as well as direction
to have authorization to prepare plans and specifications for Phase 1 Improvements placed on
the January 25, 2021 Council Meeting agenda.
The attached proposal provides more detail into the Phase 1 improvements and design and
bidding expenses. It also provides a proposed project schedule with approval of plans on April 5,
receiving bids on May 6, and contract award on May 17, 2021. As discussed at the January 19,
2021 Work Session, it is difficult to say how contractor’s bids will compare to estimates. The project
will be bid in the spring compared to the winter, and some contractors may have worked lined up
that prevents them from bidding or affects pricing on the project. There also may be some
changes in market pricing from what was seen or estimated in 2020. Having alternates provides
flexibility to the Council as it relates to budget, and the design team will provide an updated
opinion of probable costs at the April 5, 2021 meeting.
Public Works and Engineering Staff have had preliminary discussions on construction observation
and administration services from a budgetary standpoint. More detail on those services will be
reviewed with the City Building Inspector and then Council prior to contract award.

· Total = $2,156.22 + $12,614.22 (Assume 50% demand) + $6,200 + $1,900 = $22,870.44. It should
be noted this cost does not include any water related costs if the City chooses to irrigate green space
areas with the building expansion.
Item 2 - Breakdown of Calculations for the 30-year Fleet Replacement Cost Estimate
Appendix B in the feasibility report contained the breakdown of how Public Works Staff calculated the 30-year
Fleet Replacement Cost Estimate. That attachment is included with this memo.
Item 3 - Vehicle Life Examples
Attached to this memo are two examples of vehicle life analysis related to storing vehicles inside versus
outside. The first example uses an increase in life expectancy of 2.5 years per vehicle. The second example
discusses a 3-year increase in life expectancy. Public Works used 2.5 years in their calculation under Item 2
above.
Item 4 – Vehicle Charging Stations
Public Works Staff anticipates that with the new building expansion, 6 electric vehicle charging stations would
be recommended. The estimated costs presented in the report were updated to reflect those charging
stations as well as grouping the project into a Phase 1 and Phase 2 improvements as shown below:

Cost Benefit Analysis for Storing Vehicle and Equipment Inside versus Outside
Summary:
There is always significant discussion on whether to store DPW vehicles in a minimally heated
space or store them outside. From the perspective of employee safety and responsiveness
there is no question that interior storage is the best method. Exterior storage of vehicles is
particularly difficult during the winter where vehicles need to be cleaned and the engines
warmed up prior to performing work. During winter months, the sander bodies have a
tendency to freeze up if exposed to the elements, which can damage the spreader.
Leaving the vehicles outside also leads to additional maintenance on these vehicles and
decreases their useful life.
During the winter months, even with block engine heaters, the vehicles require increased
warm-up times, producing more exhaust and noise. The cold temperatures also lead to
incomplete fuel combustion which creates excessive amounts of exhaust and noise. The
larger amounts of exhaust, and noise, have a negative impact on the environment, as well
as the adjacent neighbors.
In addition to these reasons, it is cost effective in the long run to store vehicles inside as
opposed to outside. The cost of storing vehicles outside and saving the money to build and
operate the facility is offset by the additional costs associated with storing the vehicles
outside. There are several costs for storing vehicles outside, including, additional cost to
maintain those vehicles, the cost of replacing vehicles sooner, the cost of non-productive
labor due to vehicle preparation and non-starts, the cost of building and maintaining the
parking area, and the costs of operating the parking area including electrical costs for
engine block heaters.
The following analysis outlines the costs of building and operating a new building to house
the vehicles and the costs associated with storing the vehicles outside.
Cost Impacts to Store Vehicles Indoors
1.Cost to Construct the Facility - $1,675,000
This cost includes a base cost of $1,287,455 on a 20-year bond at 2.75%
2.Cost to Operate and Maintain the Facility - $17,503 per year
There has been no energy model performed for this 8,665 square foot space, so we
have taken previous energy models and extracted a cost for electric and gas usage.
We believe that the cost to operate will be $1.67/sf (minimally heated 45 degrees)
·Lexington $117,000 (gas+ electric)/ 70,000 sf (mezzanine not included) = $1.67
·Tisbury $57,500 (gas + electric)/ 16,000 sf (mezzanine not included) = $3.59
·Though the average is $2.63 we feel that the lower estimate would be more
accurate, though conservative, due to the space being only minimally heated.
·We have reviewed the cost to maintain this facility, which is minimal due to the
durable products selected and the type of space. We believe that the cost to
maintain will be approximately $.35/sf or $3,032.75 per year.
·The cost to operate and maintain is 1.67 + .35 x 8,665 sf =$17,503
3.Total Cost to Build and Operate the Building for 30 Years - 2,200,090
Cost Impacts to Store Vehicles Outdoors
1.Cost to Construct the Parking Area - $224,256.47
·Costs include sitework, paving, lighting and security (fence and gate)
·Cost Estimated at 8665 sf x+ (12/sf parking + 3/sf lighting + 2/sf security) x 17% cont.
and escalation= $172,346.85
·Based on a 20-year bond at 2.75%
2.Cost to operate and maintain the parking area = $4,332.50 per year
·Costs include electricity for site lighting, and gate and painting and patching $0.50/sf
3.Cost to purchase and operate block engine heaters = $1,050 + $1,310 = $2,360
·Average Cost of Block heater and timer $75.00, estimated at 14 = $1,050
·Average Wattage for block heater 1,250
·Average length of operation - 4 hours
·Cost per Kwh .17
·$11.90 per day to operate 14 vehicles x 110 days= $1,310 per year
Items of note
o Heaters would be required to be hooked up to emergency generator, which
would lead to a larger generator size and cost, not included in estimated costs
o The area needs to be secured so vandals would not unplug heaters overnight -
the addition of cameras would be ideal and an additional cost.
4.Non-productive labor spent to prepare vehicles stored outside for operations on winter
days = $922,500
·Days below 32 degree, approximately 140 (including 17 with snow)
·Estimate 110 days due to weekends or low temperatures not sufficient to
require excessive preparation.
·We estimate that it takes an additional 22 minutes to get a vehicle prepared for
service during winter conditions. This includes warming the vehicles up using block
heaters, scraping ice from windshields and mirrors, removing snow, downtime for
vehicles that will not start in the conditions and need to be brought inside.
o (22 minutes per day for 14 vehicles) x 110 days = 565 hours spent in non-
productive time per year
·In addition, it is estimated that it takes an average of an additional 15 minutes to
hook up plows that are stored outside compared to those stored inside. This
estimate is based on times when there is no discernible difference in time to the
times when employees bring hot water outside to de-ice the connections required
to hook the plow up. Though there is an average of 17 snow events plows are
hooked up more frequently due to potential events. We estimate this to total 20
time per year.
o (15 minutes per event for 10 vehicles) x 20 events = 50 hours spent in non-
productive time per year
·An hourly rate of $50.00 is used, which includes social security and benefits.
·Estimate that it costs $30,750 in non-productive labor per year to house vehicles
outside.
·Estimated that it costs $922,500 in non-productive labor for 30 years to house
vehicles outside.
5.Non-Productive Labor for securing equipment = $937.50 per year
·Equipment that is stored on vehicles outside that either cannot be outside or is
expensive, needs to be stored inside. The time associated with removing the
equipment after the shift is over and putting back on the vehicle at the beginning
of the next shift, when comparing it to vehicles that are already stored inside, has
a cost.
·Number of times per year is estimated at 73.
·Non-productive time at beginning and end of day 15 minutes
·73 x .25 minutes x $50.00 per hour = $937.50
6.Cost of decreased Vehicle Life Span = $459,596
·It is estimated that storing vehicles outside reduces the vehicles productive life by
an average of 2.5 years. The average life span of a vehicle housed inside is
§13.5 years and the average cost of the Town's vehicles is $65,000.
·By projecting that a vehicle will last 2.5 years longer, and with a fleet of 14
§vehicles over 30 years.
·30 years/ 13.5 years per vehicle x 14 vehicles x $65,000 = $2,022,222
·30 years/ 11 years per vehicles x 14 vehicles x $65,000 = $ 2,481,818
·Saving of $459,596 over 30 years.
·It should be noted that the cost of $65,000 used in this estimate is the average cost
of the existing vehicles used by the Town of Deerfield. This means replacing the
vehicle with a used piece of equipment of like size and model. If the estimate
included replacing the vehicles with new vehicles the number would be
significantly higher as a new dump truck can cost in excess of $100,000.
7.Additional Maintenance Costs = $16,800 per year
·There is an additional maintenance cost for storing vehicles outside. This is due to
the faster degrading of vehicle parts such as, electrical systems, windshield
wipers, brake lines, body repairs, air systems, and hoses.
·We estimate $1200.00 per vehicle per year for these repairs, blending the higher
costs required for old vehicles with the lower costs for newer vehicles.
·$1200/vehicle x 14 vehicles = $16,800 per year
COST ANALYSIS
30 YEARS
1. Cost to Construct the Facility $1,675,000
2. Cost to Operate + Maintain the Facility $774106
Total Cost of Interior Storage $2,449,106
1.Cost to Construct the Parking Area $172,346.85
2. Cost to operate and maintain the parking area $191,614
3. Cost to purchase and operate block engine heaters $62,937
4. Non-productive labor for winter days $1,359,981
5. Non-Productive Labor for securing equipment $41,463
6. Cost of decreased Vehicle Life Span $459,596
7. Additional Maintenance Costs $743,014
Total Cost of Exterior Storage $3,030,924
Total Cost Difference $581,818
The above costs include a conservative annual increase in cost of 2% per year, except for
vehicle life span, due to the difficulty in predicting when the vehicles would be replaced and
how the compound escalation would be assessed.

Reference: Summary Report – Expansion Feasibility Study
City of New Hope
Public Works Facility
Dear Bernie,
Stantec is pleased to present this Executive Summary Report of the New Hope Public Works
Facility Expansion Feasibility Study.
The existing Public Works Facility has had several additions with the latest being the Mechanic’s
Area which was completed in 2001. Since that time, the needs of the departments housed
within the Public Works Facility have grown and it is anticipated these departments will continue
to grow into the future.
In June of 2016, the Public Works department submitted a Request for Action to the City Council.
Included in this request were the following items for the existing Public Works Facility:
1. Removal and replacement of all Public Works Facility asphalt surfaces.
2. Repair shop floors and coatings, concrete is spalling, coatings have lifted, repair, reseal
or resurface.
3. Replace tile flooring; high wear in many areas, repairs are required at minimum.
4. Cleaning/repainting of Public Works Facility interior walls regarding accumulated soot
and paint peeling.
5. Public Works Facility, garage doors and replacement of worn out overhead doors as well
to increase efficiency of building.
6. Barrier walls for spoils storage area to store materials in an organized method and to
keep contained per storm water runoff standards.
7. Installation of irrigation at Public Works Facility; esthetically appearance should be
contiguous of the industrial area.
Also included in this Request for Action was a Public Works Facility expansion to fully house Public
Works equipment inside the facility to increase longevity and reduce weathering, with upgrades
to increase efficiency of staff, including relocating/upgrading fuel tank and dispensing system.
The proposed building expansion size was 20,000 square feet with a 3,000 square foot
outbuilding with barrier walls for storage of sand, gravel, and topsoil.
3
Per our proposal dated October 4, 2019 and follow-up meetings with Public Works staff, the items
from the 2016 Request for Action were revised to include the following:
1. Public Works Facility expansion with approximately 20,000 square feet of new
garage/equipment storage.
2. Renovation of the existing garage/equipment storage space to improve vehicle
circulation and equipment storage.
3. Renovation of the existing Parts/Mechanics Bay areas to expand/improve parts storage.
4. Addition of air conditioning in Mechanics Work Bay.
5. Renovation of some of the existing offices (expanded to include re-facing all of the
kitchen cabinets and renovation/expansion of the existing Storage Room into a new
Fitness Room).
6. Replace parking lot and storage yard pavement.
7. Provide a new fuel dispensing system for diesel fuel and unleaded gasoline adjacent to
the new garage/equipment storage.
8. Provide a new detached 3,000 square low-temperature heated storage building with
concrete barrier walls for sand, gravel, and topsoil storage.
9. Security improvements both inside and outside the building including a new security
gate and cameras.
10. Storm water improvements as required by the watershed district.
Stantec performed an assessment of the existing Public Works Facility to document the current
condition of the building, and identify any critical deficiencies needing immediate attention and
improvement.

1.0 Introduction and Approach
The City of New Hope contracted with Stantec to prepare an Expansion Feasibility Study
for the Public Works Facility. This study included a Condition Assessment of the existing
Public Works Facility via walk-through visual observations of the existing building
envelope, structural systems, building systems, and roof condition to identify current
deficiencies and potential needs of the building and structure.
The Stantec assessment team consisted of an architect, structural engineer, mechanical
engineer and electrical engineer performing the on-site facilities condition assessment to
document the existing conditions through visual observation and photographs. During
the on-site facilities condition assessment, we conferred with the City’s Public Works staff
to identify known issues or unseen conditions within the building.
Generally, the building and structure is in good condition, except as noted herein.
It is the intent that the items identified and described in this report will provide guidance
to improve the building and extend its’ useful life.
6
2.0 Current Conditions
Public Works Facility
Vehicle and Equipment Storage
The current Public Works Facility does not have enough interior space to accommodate
all of the city-owned vehicles and equipment.
Material Storage
Sand and gravel are currently stored inside the building in a space that could be better
used as vehicle parking with the available power and heating contained within the
building.
Flooring
The concrete floors in the Mechanics Bay and Vehicle Parking areas have areas that
have spalled and need repair. The spalled areas create a trip hazard and are showing
further signs of deterioration and wear.
The vinyl composition tile in the hallways, some office spaces, and lunchroom is showing
signs of wear from foot traffic.
Interior Walls
The exterior of the building was repainted in 2013. The interior walls of the Vehicle Parking
spaces have not been repainted and are in need of cleaning and repainting.
Overhead Doors
The exterior service doors and frames in the Vehicle Parking spaces are showing signs of
wear with rust visible on the doors and frames. Staff have indicated the overhead doors
in the Vehicle Parking spaces are also showing signs of wear with not operating as
quickly as they used to.
Mechanics Bay
Staff have indicated the current Mechanics Bay Parts Room is undersized for the
inventory they need to keep stocked for the variety of vehicles and equipment serviced.
The Mechanics Bay needs to keep the overhead doors closed to maintain building
security. In summer months this is an issue as the Shop does not have air conditioning.
The air compressor that serves the Mechanics Bay as well as the Vehicle Parking spaces is
very noisy. It has been moved a few times trying to make it less annoying, without any
real success.
Ancillary Spaces
The current fitness area is located on the mezzanine above the Parks Department space.
Staff have requested this function be relocated to the main level to allow more staff
access to the equipment.
The current Kitchen base cabinets, wall cabinets, and countertops are showing their
age. Staff have requested these be replaced and re-sized to allow each employee their
own wall or base cabinet for storage of personal food/eating items.
7
Electrical
The existing electrical service to the New Hope Public Works Facility is a 1200A, 208Y/120
Volt, Three Phase service from the electric utility. There is an existing 100kW generator and
automatic transfer switch that is used to feed the whole building when power from the
utility is disrupted. Stantec reviewed one year of utility bills and found that the existing
facility is currently using approximately 66kVA (183A @ 208Y/120V).
Outdoor Yard
Topsoil Storage
The current outdoor yard includes an area for topsoil storage that is not covered. This
allows the soil to become water-logged as well as run-off during heavy rain events.
Relocation of the soil spoils and topsoil storage from outdoor to inside the low-
temperature heated storage building will clean up the outdoor storage area as well as
eliminate the potential for soils to get into the storm drainage system during rain events.
Fuel Dispensing System
The current fuel dispensing system and underground fuel tanks are inside the security
fence south of the existing building. The building expansion will require the fuel
dispensing system to be relocated. Public Works is recommending the fueling station be
relocated outside of the security fence area for the following reasons:
1. Security gate malfunctions have affected access to the fueling station in the
past, forcing police officers to re-fuel their work vehicles at local gas stations at a
higher fuel cost.
2. Security gate malfunctions have led to the gate remaining open after normal
work hours compromising site security.
3. West Metro Fire Department would be able to use the fuel dispensing system in
the new location outside of the security fence.
4. Public Works would be able to meet security protocols with fewer vehicles
accessing their secured site.
Asphalt Pavement
The existing asphalt pavement on this site is over 20 years old, deteriorating and needs
replacement.
Site
The turf areas on this site are not currently irrigated.
8
3.0 Expansion Feasibility Summary
This Expansion Feasibility Study was requested by City staff to review existing conditions at
the Public Works Facility and determine the need and feasibility of expanding the Public
Works Facility.
A kickoff meeting with department heads was held to review the proposed
improvements from the 2016 Request for Action, as well as the updated list of
improvements included in our proposal dated October 4, 2019. At this meeting, known
issues within the existing building were also discussed.
Council Questions and Follow-up
Based on some of the questions by Council related to the expansion, one of the first tasks
performed by City staff was to check with the Public Works Departments of neighboring
cities to understand where they store their city-owned vehicles and equipment. The
table below reflects Staff’s findings.

City Council members asked if canopies could be used in lieu of an enclosed building to
save costs while offering cover and flexibility. City staff reviewed the city zoning
requirements and conferred with the city planner regarding the possibility. The public
works facility is located in the Governmental, Park & Open Space (GPO) zoning district
and is positioned within an industrial park. While the GPO district allows the city some
flexibility, staff recommends applying the City’s industrial district standards, including the
New Hope Design Guidelines. An open-air canopy would not meet the City’s
architectural standards for an accessory building nor would it meet the façade
requirements for parking structures in any zoning district. Additionally, use of an open-air
canopy would still allow snow to blow in and onto city vehicles and equipment and
would not protect either from colder temperatures. Thus, there would still be costs
associated with non-productive labor and equipment to access and use those vehicles
in the winter.
As an example, the two trucks that are used year-round for water main breaks have
diesel engines and are currently parked outside. Depending on the weather conditions,
there are times during the winter months when it will require up to two hours to get either
vehicle cleaned off, started, and loaded with the necessary equipment kept inside the
building before they can depart to address the water main break.
Electrical System Capacity
Stantec reviewed the existing switchgear and found space for nine (9) 100A breakers in
the existing switchgear P1, and it appears there is space for a future 600A breaker in the
existing switchgear P1 as well below the existing 400A and 600A breakers. These spaces
can be used to feed the proposed work described above.
It is expected that the new work would add an estimated 36kVA (100A @208Y/120V) of
load. This additional load can be added to both the electrical service and the existing
generator.
The existing electrical service has both the spare amperage capacity and the capacity
to add breakers in the existing switchgear to feed the expansion work described in this
report. New 100A or 200A breakers would be provided in the existing switchgear P1 to
feed the expansion. The expansion would be supported by the existing generator in the
event of a utility company power disruption.
Fleet Replacement Costs
Another Council question was related to the costs and equipment replacement savings
associated with storing vehicles and equipment inside versus outside. City Staff prepared
a 30-year replacement analysis in Appendix B to address these questions.
Appendix B includes a 30-year fleet replacement cost estimate and looks at the vehicle
replacement costs for vehicles stored outside versus vehicles stored inside. The estimated
costs savings to the City by moving fleet vehicles inside is $33,013.00 per year for a total
estimated savings of $990,393.00 over 30 years.

4.0 Recommendations
The recommendations provided below are from the comments in Section 2.0 Current
Conditions Assessment and are listed in order of importance. Estimated costs can also
be found in Appendix A at the back of this report.
1. Expand the existing Public Works Facility with a 20,000 square foot addition to
accommodate existing vehicles and equipment that cannot currently be parked
and/or stored inside during inclement weather and winter months.
2. The existing Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) system including all cameras, wiring, and head
end equipment should be removed and a new Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) system be
installed that is compatible with the new City Hall security system.
3. Relocate the fuel dispensing system and underground fuel storage tanks to the west
side of the new addition with access from International Parkway without having to go
through the security fence.
4. Add a new 3,000 square foot soils storage building to accommodate sand, class 5
gravel, and topsoil. This will clean up the outdoor storage yard and will also reduce
the potential of getting soils into the storm drainage system.
5. Replace the existing pavement for the entire site. Reconstruct to current New Hope
standard section.
6. Add air conditioning to the Mechanics Bay.
7. Add a new Mechanics Supervisor office and expand the Parts Storage Room with a
new mezzanine above to accommodate additional storage.
8. Add a new Compressor Room to contain the air compressor and its’ noise.
Relocation of the compressor moves it to be centrally located within the building for
the new expansion.
9. Renovate the existing Paint Storage Room into the relocated Fitness Room and
provide heating and air conditioning.
10. Replace the overhead and service doors into the Vehicle Parking spaces.
11. Add new translucent window panels in the exterior walls of the Vehicle Parking
spaces to bring in more natural light.
12. Clean and repaint the interior walls of the Vehicle Parking spaces.
13. Repair/replace areas of spalled concrete floors in the Mechanics Bay and Vehicle
Parking spaces. Clean all concrete floors in these areas and apply new concrete
floor sealer.
14. Replace the south two-thirds of the trench drain and sand interceptor in the main
Vehicle Parking area.
15. Renovate the current sand/gravel storage space into a new Truck Storage Space.
Remove the concrete push walls and floor slab, install a new sloped floor slab with
trench drain connected to the existing trench drain in the main Vehicle Parking area.
16. The vinyl composition tile in the hallways, some office spaces, and lunchroom, are in
need of replacement.
17. The Kitchen cabinets in the lunchroom should be re-faced and the countertops be
replaced.
18. The exterior turf areas should have an irrigation system.

PROJECT NO. 1039)
Item 8.1
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 8.1, Presentation of feasibility
report for the Public Works Facility Expansion (Improvement Project No. 1039).
Mr. Dan Boyum, city engineer, along with Bruce Paulson, architect with Stantec,
presented the feasibility report for the public works facility expansion. They
described storage needs, illustrated a proposed 20,000 square foot addition, a 3,000
square foot soils storage building, addition of air conditioning to the mechanics
bay and fitness room, a new security system to tie into the city hall system,
relocation of the fuel dispensing system, addition of a mechanics supervisor office
and expansion of the parts storage room, new compressor room to contain the
compressor noise, replace overhead and service doors into the vehicle parking
spaces, repair and clean concrete floors, replace the south two-thirds of the trench
drain and sand interceptor, add irrigation system, and renovations to lunchroom
and hallway flooring.
Mr. Boyum stated a 30-year replacement analysis was prepared to identify
equipment replacement savings associated with storing vehicles and equipment
indoors versus outside. He stated the estimated cost savings to the city by moving
fleet vehicles inside is $33,013 annually or $990,393 over 30 years.
New Hope City Council August 24, 2020
Page 3
The funding for a building expansion is estimated at $6.4 million and a reduced
scope project is $1.5 million. It was noted that since 2017 funds have been set aside
through central garage charges for the project and the reduced scope
improvements could be paid for with current funds as well as central garage
reserves. The potential for internal financing from the temporary financing fund
for the larger building expansion project will not be known until the Civic Center
Park and Pool projects are completed.
Mr. Boyum recommended continuing discussions regarding a reduced scope
project at a future work session.
Mr. McDonald acknowledged that Council is reluctant to issue bonds at this time
due to the recent city hall and pool projects and that a larger public works
expansion project will have to be postponed. He asked Council to accept the report
and encouraged council members to schedule a tour of the existing facility this fall.
Council Member London requested more information regarding the 30-year
replacement analysis. He noted the garage at the new police facility will extend the
life of police vehicles. He asked staff to provide the projected opera ting cost
increase (for central garage charges) for the expansion. Mr. McDonald reported
that calculations can be prepared and distributed.
Discussion ensued regarding the location of the facility gates and the need for
increased security.
Council thanked staff for the report.
MOTION
Item 8.1
Motion was made by Council Member Elder, seconded by Council Member
Frazier, to accept the report. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.

AEM Memo
I:\RFA\City Manager\2021\Just Deeds\10.1 Q ‐ Just Deeds 01‐25‐21.docx
Request for Action
January 25, 2021
Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Originating Department: Community Development
By: Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist;
Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Agenda Title
Resolution condemning the use of discriminatory covenants and approving participation in Just Deeds
coalition
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council adopt a resolution disavowing and condemning the past use of
discriminatory covenants, prohibiting discriminatory covenants from being used in the future, and directing
city staff to participate in the work of the Just Deeds Coalition to educate the community about this and
other historically discriminatory practices.
Policy/Past Practice
The city has pursued programs that promote equity and benefit the overall community in the past.
Background
The City Council directed staff to prepare a resolution in support of the Just Deeds coalition at the January
19, 2021, work session. The coalition “is committed to acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in
housing in Minnesota.” As stated in Just Deeds’ mission statement, goals of the coalition include the
following:
1. Educating Minnesotans about the racist practices perpetrated by developers, real estate agents,
lawyers, and local, state and federal governments to establish segregated housing and keep wealth
and opportunity away from communities of color.
2. Educating Minnesotans so that they understand who has directly and indirectly benefitted from
historically racist practices and how those practices have shaped access to property, homeownership
and wealth over time.
3. Taking action to dismantle the racist systems that perpetuate inequality and devoting resources to
create equity for communities of color.
In 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law allowing property owners the ability to renounce covenants
on their properties. Just Deeds provides free legal and title services to help property owners find
discriminatory covenants and remove them from their property titles. There are no known discriminatory
covenants recorded for properties in New Hope. As such, the legal and title services provided by Just Deeds

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-___
RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE USE OF DISCRIMINATORY COVENANTS
AND APPROVING PARTICIPATION IN JUST DEEDS COALITION
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of New Hope as follows:
WHEREAS, discriminatory covenants were tools used by real estate developers to prevent
BIPOC and non-Christian individuals from buying or occupying property in certain areas, and they
were common throughout the United States from the early 1900s to the 1960s; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of discriminatory covenants was to racially and religiously
homogenize communities by excluding BIPOC and non-Christian individuals from surrounding
communities. These tools segregated the metro area and built a hidden system of apartheid; and
WHEREAS, in 2016, the University of Minnesota founded Mapping Prejudice to expose
the racist practices that shaped the landscape of the metro area. Mapping Prejudice researched
restrictive covenants in Hennepin County and created the first-ever comprehensive map of racial
covenants in an American city. The project mapped 24,131 covenants in Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, the map shows no such language for properties in New Hope; and
WHEREAS, restrictive covenants are no longer enforceable. Legal efforts to eliminate
Discriminatory Covenants include Shelley v. Kraemer, 334 U.S. 1 (1948), in which the United
States Supreme Court prohibited courts from enforcing Discriminatory Covenants and the
Minnesota legislature in 1953 enacted statutes that prohibited new covenants, but existing
covenants were still legal in Minnesota until 1962; and
WHEREAS, as a result of these judicial and legislative actions, today, Minnesota law and
federal law prohibit discrimination in the sale or lease of housing based on race, color, creed,
religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, disability,
sexual orientation, or familial status and those state and federal prohibitions extend to the refusal
to sell or to circulate, post or cause to be printed, circulated, or posted, any limitation, specification,
or discrimination as to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, status with
regard to public assistance, disability, sexual orientation, or familial status; and
WHEREAS, in 2019, the Minnesota Legislature passed a law authorizing property owners
to individually discharge or renounce discriminatory covenants by recording a discharge form in
the county property records; and
WHEREAS, discriminatory covenants promoted and established residential racial
segregation, which historically and currently has impacted property ownership, accumulation of
wealth, property transfers, mortgage eligibility, rental eligibility, property values, property tax
base, internet access, and more. Discriminatory covenants fortified systemic racism and
compounded economic divestment in specific communities within Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, discriminatory covenants benefitted White communities. For example,
homes that were racially covenanted are still predominantly owned by White people and are worth
approximately 15% more today than non-covenanted properties; and
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota, including the city of New Hope, recognizes the harm
that Discriminatory Covenants, and the racial, religious, and other discriminatory practices that
they represent, cause to society in general and to the individuals who are adversely affected by
racial, religious, and other discrimination through the presence of discriminatory covenants in the
public land records.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the New Hope City Council disavows
and condemns the past use of discriminatory covenants and prohibits discriminatory covenants
from being used in the future and directs city staff to participate in the work of the Just Deeds
Coalition to educate the community about this and other historically discriminatory practices.
Dated the 25th day of January, 2021.

Mission Statement
Just Deeds is a coalition of community stakeholders committed to acknowledging and addressing systemic
racism in housing in Minnesota. Coalition members provide free legal and title services to help property
owners find discriminatory covenants and remove them from their property titles and will provide the
foundation of education and acknowledgement necessary to pursue reconciliation and anti-racist
solutions. We represent organizations and entities who share responsibility for creating and correcting
systemic racism in housing. We acknowledge the racist systems created and perpetuated within
communities, and we will work toward dismantling these systems. Members of the Just Deeds coalition
are committed to working toward meaningful and lasting change in Minnesota. Coalition members will
achieve this goal by:
1. Educating Minnesotans about the racist practices perpetrated by developers, real estate
agents, lawyers, and local, state and federal governments to establish segregated housing and
keep wealth and opportunity away from communities of color.
2. Educating Minnesotans so that they understand who has directly and indirectly benefitted
from historically racist practices and how those practices have shaped access to property,
homeownership and wealth over time.
3. Taking action to dismantle the racist systems that perpetuate inequality and devoting
resources to create equity for communities of color.
All members of the Just Deeds Coalition recognize the following truths and principles:
• Systemic racism in housing occurs today. Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color
continue to face discrimination and lack of access to affordable housing and home ownership.
• Continued denial of opportunities to build general wealth through home ownership
perpetuates inequity within our communities.
• We will not erase or deny history. We will acknowledge it and learn from it.
• We are dedicated to honesty about institutional roles (public and private) in building and
perpetuating systemic racism.
• We commit to begin and participate in hard conversations within our communities and
institutions about our shared history of discrimination and systemic racism.
• We pledge to examine the current policies and practices of our institutions to prevent future
racist actions.
• When we identify racism in our institutions and processes, we will actively work to remove it.
