APPROVAL OF AGENDA • Watson inquired as to whether we wanted to pull off the ARPA funding item to a separate agenda item. He believes that the $400,000 should be $320,000 since $80,000 has already been obligated to Charley Lake Project. He proposed the verbiage be changed to reconfirm it is $320,000 + $80,000. • To move agenda item to 9a. regarding ARPA funds in new business to discuss with the budget and truth and taxation hearing. • Councilor Gaspard would like to move 6f to discussion. He has concerned that it is a pilot program and feels like it should be limited to pilot and that we should have control of the locations. He would like to table it to January. Kress has mentioned that it is capped at $45,000. MOTION by Azman, seconded by Shah, to approve agenda with amendment to move agenda item 6e. regarding ARPA funds, to discuss as new business as part of 9a discussion on 2025 budget and truth and taxation hearing. Motion carried unanimously. Gaspard would like to move item 6f from the consent agenda to discuss further. He feels the $45,000 License plate reader and give placement to Staff. He is concerned that pilot program and believes focus should be on original camera’s not expanding. Focus on data collection and having control over location of cameras. He would like to motion to table it to the January City Council meeting. 4 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 Azman agreed to friendly amendment to move it, but Shah did not.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS There were no old business items. 9. NEW BUSINESS Page |2 5 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 9a. Approve resolution expanding ALPR program (formerly 6f) • Ilya Berchenko noted that they have been working on the License Plate reader program for many months. He has been very precise in the discussion and request for funding for ALPR. Wilkinson Lake sub-association approached them as they just had board meeting on Tuesday approving to put ALPR on their property. Asked Flock vendor not to start pilot under can add this to contract. With these additional 3 it would be $40,375. The suggestion was to ask for a little more funding to have some flexibility to add locations as needed. • Watson noted that this is a test pilot and would like to know precise start and end date and when report would be provided and brought back to the community. He feels might be going to fast. • Berchenko noted that the pilot will begin for a period of 1 year once they get installed. 14 LRP cameras at $45,000 expecting to sign contract next week, then start installations right after New Year. He confirmed the Wilkinson, Hill Farm, and Spring Farm sub- associations asked to be included. • Azman and Shah noted that discussions have a continued for a long time and looking to move forward with installation. • Berchenko is committed to providing periodic reports to Council and community. MOTION by Shah, seconded by Azman, to approve the resolution ALPR with the addition of Wilkinson Garden. Motion carried by 4-1 vote. Gaspard 4-1. 9b. Truth in Taxation Hearing - Discussion and possible action on resolution setting 2025 budget/levy Mayor Wolter opened the truth in Taxation Hearing. • There were no other public comments in person, or emails or drop in’s submitted to the City regarding the proposed budget or levy. Mayor Wolter closed the hearing. Discussion on ARPA Funds (formerly 6e). • Councilor Watson noted to be consistent he would like to see the amount in Resolution defined as $320,000, plus $80,000 for Charley Lake water connection project. • Kress noted they will change the verbiage to reflect the breakdown in the last “Wherefore” statement to define where the math comes from. MOTION by Watson, seconded by Gaspard, to approve Resolution 1549 with amendment that indicates the remaining ARPA $320,241.19 to be obligated to police and fire, with the $80,000 committed to the Charley Lake Water project, to fully obligate all the funds. • Nason indicated it is very important that the full amount be adopted in the Resolution. Page |3 6 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 Motion carried by unanimous vote. • Kress noted the 2025 Tax levy is exact same as September proposed levy previously discussed. Additional funds were added for Ordinance Recodification, speed signs, Deer, geese and coyote abatement. The $100,000 currently allocated to council meeting room/table improvements, he would like to reallocate to the 35E project. Ramsey County is going to bill us for this, but this was not allocated and we will have to get an agreement with Waverly Gardens to get the money back. Ramsey County will not negotiate with a private entity, so will be going through the City. The $350,000 is allocated for new fire station, it is unknown how much that will be until fully bid out in February or March 2025. Received 6.7 million was received from STATE, but unknown what that total amount will be. Based on this: 12.16% tax rate, with the amount $2,794,583. • The $250,000 35E Project estimate was given by the Ramsey County project engineer. • Kress noted that the $350,000 line item is for unknown new fire needs. Watson not in favor of budget exceeding 10%. We have 1 million in reserve, from the 2023 audit we have funds to assist cash flow. Believes local units of government should tax based on needs of upcoming year. Feels we should use the fund balance to offset anticipated costs. We still have $500,000 that didn’t get spent out of reserve rather than taxing our residents at the 12% rate, and then end up with money that goes back into reserves. • Kress noted fund balance policy is 60-70%, we are at 74.5%. If want to use the 4% extra funds ($145,000), needs to be for a for 1-time expense such as the fire station not continuous operation. Once we get into 2025 we may have to use some or all of it as part of Fire Station. Council will make decision on whether to bond, use reserves or both. If take reserve down to 60% that would be $468,177. • Watson wants to levy on tax payer only needs for coming year, we’ve been good stewards – but we have now reserve monies which can be used to offset tax in current year. He noted the economy and budget are a big deal to residents and feels that we should limit wherever we can. • Shah noted that the Ramsey County Sherriff and Fire Department have significantly increased the last 3 years, which we have no control over. The increases have not been due to Council decisions. She is concerned over the significant unknown this upcoming year. • Watson noted this tax proposal is 12.8% and we continue to add to our reserve. 2.9 million dollars is in reserve. He would like to use some of these funds. • Azman is concerned about dipping into reserves without knowing how much our 14% commitment to the fire station joint powers we will be, the 35E interchange, and increasing police costs. Feels we have a solid budget and new communities coming on which need fire protection. Feels would be imprudent to take reserves without the unknowns. • Kress noted that we all 3 cities have to expend funds up front in order to get the $6.7 million from the State for 35E project later. • Wolter noted after many conversations with Kress. Kress noted the importance of having a consistent levy through the years. Revenue is flexible and difficult to count on since we don’t have corporate revenue streams with much retail. Capital funds should only be used as 1-time expense, otherwise it impacts the levy in future years. Page |4 7 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 • Watson noted that the police contract is locked in for years 5, with years 2-5 with a fixed increase. It is not subject to a renegotiation. • Kress noted next year will have serious discussion about reserves, capital, police, fire, 35E exchange, etc. • Watson asked about the public works position. Kress has met with the proposed individual several times and he is still on board. White Bear Township is aware, and it would be a public works director/supervisor 24 x 7 to answer and address any lift station, infrastructure and water needs. They would like to have contract ready by end of year. Initially the funding would come from water / sewer rate funds. The residents who receive service would bear cost for support of infrastructure. MOTION by Shah, seconded by Azman, to approve Resolution 1554 setting the 2025 tax levy at $2,794,582. • Gaspard went through tax levy from past several years and feels budgeting is the most important things we do and drives what we do. We should evaluate periodically to ensure we are doing what we said. Looking at the taxes, we’ve increased 12.8% this year, 13.5% last year. Over past 3 years high inflation but still has significantly increased. North Oaks is reflecting a $318,000 increase in our levy and $400,000 increase in our budget and feels it is a big number. In a personal homeowner case, he is up 19% - because the valuation of home increased. He wants to make sure that Council is aware of the impact on individual resident. • Azman not in favor of going line by line. • Shah noted that everyone on Council also received impact of taxes and not one wants tax increase. He would love assistance next year discussing police and looking for ways. • Gaspard noted reserve money could be used for speed meters, camera system, etc. in lieu of increase in tax funds. He wanted to raise concern that costs are rising, some residents are fixed incomes, and there are effects on taxpayers. • Watson noted spent an hour on budget matter, and wishes there would have been an extra budget meeting. • Wolter noted that we have a good City staff that provided good input. Motion carried by roll call vote 3-2. Wolter, Shah, Azman yes, Watson and Gaspard no. 9c. Discussion and possible action on USDA deer management contract • Kress noted they are proposed a few days for USDA to do deer management. We have not been able to do an aerial count due to lack of snow. Anticipate going out in January based on areas of high volume. Program stops end of March 2025. Asks Council to authorize deer program. He would report back to Council to decide if want to do more. Might see a goose management discussion / contract for removal in March or April. • Shah would like to see a weekly report with status of removals and any issues. MOTION by Wolter, seconded by Azman to execute contract with USDA for deer management. Page |5 8 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 • Gaspard asked for clarification max funding would pay would be $23,577, without coming back to Council for additional authorization. On a good night might take 2-3 deer. • Any more would need to come back to the Council for approval. • Coyote are not included. Discretion to address problem coyote has been previously approved by Council. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote. 9d. Discussion and possible action on Cannabis Zoning and Registration Ordinance Amendment • Attorney Nason reviewed presentation on Cannabis regulations. (attached to final minutes). She noted that Minnesota legislature approved legislation 2022 with edibles and beverages, in 2023 approved adult-use cannabis and regulated some hemp products. In 2024, MN legislature made additional updates to licensing statues. • The legislature designated sole authority to license businesses through Office of Cannabis management (OCM). • Business must apply to OCM, and no licensing takes places until May/June 2025. After receive license, business must register with the City (or county) to ensure they are certified within zoning district. • The City of North Oaks has current moratorium on operation of cannabis businesses until January 1, 2025. • Currently only Wine Street has license to sell products with THC. • The City has ability to require registration, limit the number of retailers, and suspend registration. City can also assign zoning, establish buffers on where they can be. City currently has a Use Regulation prohibition of smoking of cannabis or vaping of hemp flower in public place. • The Proposed North Oaks Cannabis Ordinance requires: o Registration with City o Limits the number of cannabis retails to 1 based on population. Can refuse to issue registration if county has met required number of retailers per State statute. City required to perform compliance checks and perform preliminary compliance check before the business opens. o Restricted hours of operation o Establishment of buffer zones o Only within Commercial or CS-Commercial Service Districts. o Permitted as a conditional use, subject to a CUP. o Subject to a 250-foot buffer from schools, day cares, residentials treatment facilities, attractions in a public park regularly used by minors and other similar businesses. o Based on North Oaks, there is no viable non-business-related district in our Community. o Council is asked to amend the Chapter 115 of the City Code, and amending Chapter 151 related to cannabis and hemp businesses. • Based on the 250 foot most restrictive buffer, if buffer increased to 1000 feet then only 1 point north along Village Center drive would be eligible. The Southpointe park does not apply as it is not a “public” park. Page |6 9 Minutes of the City Council Meeting December 12, 2024 • Winestreet Liquors can only sell edibles, flower cannot be sold without meeting the required buffer. If there are in operation now for edibles, the new regulation does not impact this ability to sell these items. • Council asked to take 2 actions: Consider amending City Code 115 Business Licensing Chapter to adopt Cannabis business regulations and adopt changes to the City Zoning Code 151 to include cannabis provisions. If approved, would also suggest Council to consider 2 associated summary publication ordinances to put in the Shoreview Press. MOTION by Azman, seconded by Gaspard, to approve the 4 resolutions to Amend City Business Regulations Code 115 and City Zoning Code 151 include hemp business regulations, along with the 2 associated Summary ordinances. Motion carried unanimously by roll call vote. 10. COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS • Councilor Watson nothing to report. • Councilor Azman stated the budget is flat for the Cable Commission. The next fire relief meeting would be next Wednesday 12/18 if it occurs. • Councilor Shah noted the 2025 budget was approved for the fire board. The new fire truck arrived, and the bidding for fire station has begun. She thanked and recognized the long history of Councilor Watson’s service to the community. • Council Gaspard is signed up for the LMC foundational conference for newly elected officials. Other Councilors are asked to let Administrator Kress know if would like to attend LMC conference. • Mayor Wolter attended the 9 surrounding Cities Mayor meeting.

She thanked all the North Oaks associations, leaders, board and volunteers that make this Community a special place to be. Also recognized Councilor Watsons history and knowledge in the Community, as he end his term on council. 11. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORTS • Administrator Kress really appreciated working with Watson throughout the years and the background he provided on North Oaks, since he joined the City Staff. • Met with local Senators and administrators regarding the MN legislature missing in the middle bill. • He might need to move the Public Works contract to work and develop a contract with the Mayor, to ensure something in place before end of year. It will be brought before council as Consent item in January. Looking at salary between $80,000 and $100,000. Council agreed to this concept. • Kress welcomed Councilor Gaspard to the City Council. 12. CITY ATTORNEY REPORTS • Attorney Nason nothing to report.
