She added the 2021 Action Plan includes affordable housing which she appreciates, but accessibility has always been valued in Woodbury. She noted it is not possible to talk about affordable housing without talking about accessible housing. Ms. Pothen stated people living in long-term poverty account for more than half of all disabled persons. She added she has not been able to find affordable accessible housing in Woodbury, especially with covered parking areas.

Public Hearings A. Adoption of Special Assessments for the Lake Road and Pioneer Drive Intersection Improvements Project Mayor Burt declared the public hearing open. City Engineer Tony Kutzke reviewed the project area at the four-way intersection of Lake Road and Pioneer Drive, which includes a proposed roundabout, center medians and pedestrian crossing improvements. Public engagement included two outreach events in September 2020 and March 2021. The City Council reviewed the project in 2020 and 2021, with a public improvement hearing and preliminary report approval on November 10, 2021. If approved, the project would begin in June 2023 with completion by Labor Day. Mr. Kutzke reviewed funding sources, including special assessments totaling $212,610, to be used to partially fund this public improvement. There are three properties that will benefit from the project – a utility substation property, a church on the northeast corner, and the School District on the southeast corner. City Staff recommends adoption of four resolutions related to this Agenda item. Residents can register for text notifications regarding the project at www.woodburymn/intouch. Daniel Beran, 890 Winterberry Court, submitted a letter from Woodbury Community Church that formally objects to their proposed assessment for the roundabout on Pioneer and Lake and explained that construction will cause people to have difficulty getting access to the church. He added he has paid taxes on Lake Road and Pioneer Road for 15 years. Sandy Pothen, 2781 Wimbledon Drive, stated she drives past this intersection every day, and there are often students crossing the road. She asked what the plan will be for pedestrian crossing. Mayor Burt stated this public hearing is related to special assessments for this project. She added the topic of a roundabout at this location has previously been discussed and approved, as it has been determined that a single-lane roundabout is safe and effective for pedestrians. Mayor Burt moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, to close the public hearing. Voting in Favor: Wilson, Date, Morris, Santini, Burt Absent: None Councilmember Wilson stated she was not in favor of a roundabout at this location and voted no for the project. She added she does not know how to handle this vote as she still does not support the project. Councilmember Santini stated many drivers will take detours through nearby neighborhoods based on GPS routes. She asked whether there will be temporary speed signage in the neighborhoods, as well as road closure signage. Mr. Kutzke stated City Staff is aware of these issues and will monitor traffic during closures to identify alternative routes that drivers are taking. He added “local traffic only” signage is planned, and signage will be modified continually to ensure drivers stay on detour routes. Page 4 of 11  City Council Meeting Minutes Wednesday, April 13, 2022 Councilmember Date stated, with regard to the decision to add a roundabout, there were differences of opinion between those, like herself, who support the project and those who did not support it. She added the safety of students crossing at the intersection is important to everyone. She noted her opinion is based on information from engineers, and roundabouts are proven to be safer than the current type of configuration. She noted there was a lot of discussion, and the majority felt this was the safest option. Councilmember Morris moved, seconded by Councilmember Santini, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-72 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota adopting the special assessments for the Lake Road and Pioneer Drive Intersection Improvements Project.

Gold Line Station Master Plan Associate Planner Gina McCormack reviewed the Gold Line Station Area Master Plan including alignment detail, public improvement process, online tools and stakeholder meetings, workshops and a final draft report. She reviewed lighting and landscaping plans as well as land use changes at the Tamarack Station, Woodbury Theatre Station, and Wells Fargo site. Ms. McCormack stated the proposed new pedestrian light fixtures, as referenced on page 4-20, have been installed on Tamarack Bridge. Ms. McCormack stated City Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving the Gold Line Station Area Master Plan. Councilmember Wilson asked whether cart return areas will be placed near the Woodbury Theater site. Ms. McCormack stated no cart return areas are planned. Councilmember Wilson stated she supports having a cart area, as well as assurances from local businesses that they are responsible for their carts. She added sidewalks should be required on both sides of Woodlane Drive rather than just the west side, as well as a clear pedestrian crossing on Woodlane Drive. She noted bike lanes should be included in the plans, consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. She requested consideration of bike racks, rider drop-off and pick-up areas, designated Uber/Lyft zones, and cart returns. Councilmember Morris asked whether the City Council will review station plans again, and whether the plans include bike racks. Ms. McCormack stated the Theatre Station and Tamarack Station are included in the Appendix under A-12. She added the 494 Station is a separate development application and will be brought forward for Council consideration. She noted it is her understanding that bike parking will be located outside the station area in the right of way. Councilmember Morris stated the community engagement summary was great. He added, for the record, he was wholeheartedly disappointed in some of the comments, which are not generally reflective of the comments he receives and do not represent the overall values of the City of Woodbury. He noted he understands there is opposition to the Gold Line and he respects that residents have that opinion. Councilmember Morris expressed his support for the Gold Line project and the positive implications it will have for Woodbury as a community where people can live, work and thrive with transit. He added the project has been in the works for many years and represents a mode of transportation that Woodbury does not currently have. He noted current ridership may not dictate need right now but the project will be beneficial to the community for the long-term, and he supports Woodbury getting its fair share of federal transit funding. Councilmember Wilson stated the Gold Line, in her opinion, is the perfect example of wasteful government funding, and a solution in search of a problem. She read a statement in opposition to the Gold Line. Councilmember Date, seconded by Councilmember Morris, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-76 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota approving the Gold Line Station Area Master Plan.

Adoption of the 2022 Economic Development Strategic Plan Housing and Economic Development Manager Karl Batalden reviewed the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP), which is an implementation of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. City Staff recommends City Council approval of a resolution adopting the 2022 Economic Development Strategic Plan. Mayor Burt expressed appreciation of the work that has gone into creating the Strategic Plan. Councilmember Santini moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-77 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota adopting the 2022 Economic Development Strategic Plan. Voting via voice: Kim Wilson – aye Andrea Date – aye Steve Morris – aye Jennifer Santini – aye Anne Burt – aye C. Amendment to CD-COUNCIL-2.9 City Council Compensation; City Code Amendment Chapter 2 Administration, Article II, Section 2.21 – Mayor and City Council Compensation City Administrator Clint Gridley reviewed Council Directive 2.9, which evaluated data and information related to City Council compensation. The City Council’s last wage increase was in 2017, and the proposed recommendation would be for the next cycle in 2023 at 5.5%. City Staff recommends an increase in representation from 60,000-85,000 residents to 80,000-95,000 residents. City Staff also recommends a change in range not to exceed 110%. Councilmember Date thanked the Audit and Investment Commission for their evaluation and recommendations. She added the proposal is fair, and the City gets a lot of benefit from Mayor Burt who works many hours for less than living hourly wage. She questioned whether that is equitable, as compensation should be based on the amount of hours worked, and the Mayor puts in full-time hours. She noted she would support 110% for the Mayor’s compensation according to policy. Councilmember Morris agreed, adding a discussion regarding a change of government should be considered soon. Mayor Burt thanked the City Council for their comments regarding her role and her work on behalf of the City. She added she feels it is important for her to contribute as much of her time as possible to meet the needs of the City and be an ambassador for its residents. She noted there would support looking at benefits. Councilmember Date stated she believes that an adjustment reflective of actual work and hours put forth is appropriate. Councilmember Morris agreed, adding it is not a policy change. Councilmember Santini stated the change would not be effective until January 1, 2023, at which time there could be new Councilmembers. She added, however, this is a gesture of expectations, and the increase is appropriate. Pam Whitmore, City Attorney, stated two separate motions are required on this item. Ms. Whitmore stated the Ordinance must reflect the actual dollar amount. Mr. Gridley stated City Staff will calculate the dollar amount when the Ordinance is updated. Councilmember Date moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-78 Page 7 of 11  City Council Meeting Minutes Wednesday, April 13, 2022 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota approving amendments to Council Directive CD-COUNCIL-2.9 City Council Compensation.

Voting via voice: Kim Wilson – nay Andrea Date – aye Steve Morris – aye Jennifer Santini – aye Anne Burt – aye D. Consent Agenda Item G. 2022 Regional Solicitation and Highway Safety Improvement Program; Federal Funding Application Process; Approval of Grant Application Submittals Councilmember Wilson stated the Lake Road conversion is scheduled for this year, and she has questioned whether there will be a sidewalk on the south side of Lake Road. She requested that costs for appropriate sidewalks and bike lanes are included in the grant request. Engineering Director Chris Hartzell stated trails are planned along Woodlane Drive and Lake Road, but the project costs are divided, and the sidewalk will be a separate project from the road improvements and will not be part of the grant request to increase the competitiveness of the grant applications. He added the conversion will be a mill and overlay project within the bounds of the curb. Councilmember Santini moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-79 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota authorizing 2022 Regional Solicitation Grant Application submittal for Tamarack Road from Weir Drive to Radio Drive Pavement Rehabilitation.

Voting via voice: Kim Wilson – aye Andrea Date – aye Steve Morris – aye Jennifer Santini – aye Anne Burt – aye E. Consent Agenda Item H. Ojibway Park Parking Lot Rehabilitation; Award Contract, Amend Budget Councilmember Wilson asked whether this budget item requires a vote since it is below budget. She expressed concern regarding how the money is being transferred around. She added she is not opposed to the contractor, but she would prefer a different accounting method and clarification regarding why a budget reduction would need to be approved. Mr. Gridley stated City Staff worked to make determinations regarding budgetary issues and funds. He added the Parks and Trails Replacement Fund is paying for the majority of the project costs. He added this is a current fund that has been established. Councilmember Wilson stated she would like to see more transparent accounting as opposed to transferring funds to the street rehabilitation project. Gridley stated he disagrees with the characterization that this is not a transparent account. Councilmember Santini moved, seconded by Councilmember Morris, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-82 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota awarding the construction contract to OMG Midwest Inc., dba Minnesota Paving & Materials for the Ojibway Park Parking Lot Rehabilitation Project and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to sign said contract.

Consent Agenda Item L. Approval of 2021 Year End Transfers Councilmember Wilson expressed concern with regard to year-end transfers, that the City sweeps excess funds into the Capital Improvement Fund. She added she would like to challenge the City Council to figure out how to cut taxes. Mayor Burt stated the majority of the funds come from non-tax revenues rather than putting the burden on taxpayers. Mr. Gridley agreed, adding the total revenues exceeded budget and expenditures were below budget. He added City Staff feels that it is appropriate to bring the fund balance down. He noted this is a typical action of the City Council, but amounts can vary from year to year. Councilmember Wilson stated she would like to challenge the City Council to see if there is something that can be done to alleviate extra tax money. Councilmember Morris stated it is not extra tax money. He added Councilmember Wilson has been through enough tax discussions to know that the City of Woodbury conservatively budgets the non-property tax levy section and considers grants and other opportunities. He noted it is misleading to say that the City has over-collected tax from the City’s residents. Councilmember Morris stated the community is extremely conservative in its budgets and shows good stewardship of taxpayer money. He agreed the City Council can challenge itself to do better, but it is not factually correct to say that the City over-collected taxes. Councilmember Date stated she would challenge the City Council to move forward with the current budget and continue to do sweeps so to continue the City’s “pay as you go” philosophy, saving taxpayers money in the long run. Councilmember Santini stated that some of the under-spending is due to not being able to fill staff positions, which can be a detriment and is not beneficial to the City. Councilmember Date moved, seconded by Councilmember Santini, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-84 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota authorizing the transfer of funds between certain funds. Voting via voice: Kim Wilson – aye Andrea Date – aye Steve Morris – aye Jennifer Santini – aye Anne Burt – aye G. Consent Agenda Item M. 2021 Final Budget Adjustments Councilmember Santini moved, seconded by Councilmember Date, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-85 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota approving various 2021 budget adjustments.

Consent Agenda Item N. 2021 Fund Closing and Transfer of Assets and Liabilities Councilmember Wilson stated she has received calls from residents about fencing and landscaping issues at the Public Works building. She added the $42,000 fund transfer could be used to put up some screening. Councilmember Morris agreed. The City Council agreed not to close the fund. Councilmember Morris moved, seconded by Councilmember Santini, To adopt the following resolution Resolution 22-86 Resolution of the City of Woodbury, Washington County, Minnesota authorizing the closing of certain funds and the transfer of their assets and liabilities.
