Agenda Placement: Consent Agenda
Originating Department/Requestor Eric Johnson, City Administrator
Requester’s Signature:
Action Requested: Approve MNDOT – Oak Park Heights – Master Service Agreement.
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other
public bodies have advised):
MNDOT is seeking approval of a Master Service Agreement so that it can facilitate a payment
request from the City to MNDOT related to certain testing actions stemming from the Norell
Ave. Project – 2022 totaling $1,565.42. ($473.85 + $1,091.57). The work was necessary to be
completed andthe City selected to utilize MNDOT lab services – versus other private testing lab;
but was billed in error in 2022 to the County and other State office.
Approve Resolution related to MNDOT – OPH Master Service Agreement.
Page 61 of 122
RESOLUTION ______________
Whereas, it has been presented to the City that
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) has certain billings it is requesting
payment from the City totaling less than $1,00.00 as related to various and necessary
testing and lab services - soils and gradations of the City’s 2022 Norell Ave Project;
and,
Whereas the City was not obligated to utilize MNDOT services to perform this testing
but MNDOT was utilized as directed by STANTEC so as to more promptly and
efficiently complete these necessary tests; and,
Whereas, MNDOT wishes to cooperate closely with local units of government to
coordinate the delivery of transportation services and maximize the efficient delivery of
such services at all levels of government; and
Whereas, MnDOT and local governments are authorized by Minnesota Statutes sections
471.59, 174.02, and 161.20, to undertake collaborative efforts for the design,
construction, maintenance and operation of state and local roads; and
Whereas, if the parties wish to be able to respond quickly and efficiently to such
opportunities for collaboration, and have determined that having the ability to write
“work orders” against a master contract would provide the greatest speed and flexibility
in responding to identified needs.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1.That the City of Oak Park Heights enter into a Master Partnership Contract with
the Minnesota Department of Transportation, a copy of which was before the
th
Council on March 28, 2023; and,
2.That City Officers are authorized to finalize and execute this Agreement and City
Administrator may also terminate the Agreement with MNDOT pursuant to its
stated terms.
3.That the City Engineer and City Administrator are authorized negotiate work
order contracts pursuant to the Master Contract, which may provide for payment
to or from MnDOT, and that the City Administrator may execute such work order
contracts on behalf of City the without further approval by City Council when
there is a prior bona-fide City Council approved project in place.
Approved this 28th day of March 2023.

prepared by or for the Other Party individually or jointly with others, or any subcontractors, with respect to
the program, publications, or services provided resulting from a work order contract.
17.2. Data Practices Act. Section 17.1 is not intended to override the Other Party’s responsibilities under the
Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
18. Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue
18.1. Minnesota law, without regard to its choice-of-law provisions, governs this master contract and all work
order contracts. Venue for all legal proceedings out of this master contract or any work order contracts, or
the breach of any such contracts, must be in the appropriate state or federal court with competent
jurisdiction in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
19. Prompt Payment; Payment to Subcontractors
19.1. The parties must make prompt payment of their obligations in accordance with applicable law. As required
by Minn. Stat. § 16A.1245, when the Other Party lets a contract for work pursuant to any work order, the
Other Party must require its contractor to pay all subcontractors, less any retainage, within 10 calendar days
of the prime contractor's receipt of payment from the Other Party for undisputed services provided by the

month to the subcontractor(s) on any undisputed amount not paid on time to the subcontractor(s).
20. Minn. Stat. § 181.59.
20.1. The Other Party will comply with the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 181.59 which requires: Every contract for or
on behalf of the state of Minnesota, or any county, city, town, township, school, school district, or any other
district in the state, for materials, supplies, or construction shall contain provisions by which the Contractor
agrees: (1) That, in the hiring of common or skilled labor for the performance of any work under any
contract, or any subcontract, no contractor, material supplier, or vendor, shall, by reason of race, creed, or
color, discriminate against the person or persons who are citizens of the United States or resident aliens
who are qualified and available to perform the work to which the employment relates; (2) That no
contractor, material supplier, or vendor, shall, in any manner, discriminate against, or intimidate, or prevent
the employment of any person or persons identified in clause (1) of this section, or on being hired, prevent,
or conspire to prevent, the person or persons from the performance of work under any contract on account
of race, creed, or color; (3) That a violation of this section is a misdemeanor; and (4) That this contract may
be canceled or terminated by the state, county, city, town, school board, or any other person authorized to
grant the contracts for employment, and all money due, or to become due under the contract, may be
forfeited for a second or any subsequent violation of the terms or conditions of this contract.
21. Termination; Suspension
21.1. Termination by the State for Convenience. The State or commissioner of Administration may cancel this
MPC and any work order contracts at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 days written notice to the
Other Party. Upon termination, the Other Party and the State will be entitled to payment, determined on a
pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed.
21.2. Termination by the Other Party for Convenience. The Other Party may cancel this MPC and any work order
contracts at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 days written notice to the State. Upon termination,
10
Page 73 of 122
MnDOT Contract Number: 1052597
the Other Party and the State will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services
satisfactorily performed.
21.3. Termination for Insufficient Funding. The State may immediately terminate or suspend this MPC and any
work order contract if it does not obtain funding from the Minnesota legislature or other funding source; or
if funding cannot be continued at a level sufficient to allow for the payment of the services covered here.
Termination or suspension must be by written or fax notice to the Other Party. The State is not obligated to
pay for any services that are provided after notice and effective date of termination or suspension.
However, the Other Party will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services
satisfactorily performed to the extent that funds are available. The State will not be assessed any penalty if
the master contract or work order is terminated because of the decision of the Minnesota legislature or
other funding source, not to appropriate funds. The State must provide the Other Party notice of the lack of
funding within a reasonable time of the State’s receiving that notice.
22. Data Disclosure
22.1. Under Minn. Stat. §270C.65, subd. 3, and other applicable law, the Other Party consents to disclosure of its
federal employer tax identification number, and/or Minnesota tax identification number, already provided
to the State, to federal and state tax agencies and state personnel involved in the payment of state
obligations. These identification numbers may be used in the enforcement of federal and state tax laws
which could result in action requiring the Other Party to file state tax returns and pay delinquent state tax
liabilities, if any.
23. Defense of Claims and Lawsuits
23.1. If any lawsuit or claim is filed by a third party (including but not limited to the Other Party’s contractors and
subcontractors), arising out of trunk highway work performed pursuant to a valid work order issued under
this MPC, the Other Party will, at the discretion of and upon the request of the State, tender the defense of
such claims to the State or allow the State to participate in the defense of such claims. The Other Party will,
however, be solely responsible for defending any lawsuit or claim, or any portion thereof, when the claim or
cause of action asserted is based on its own acts or omissions in performing or supervising the work. The
Other Party will not purport to represent the State in any litigation, settlement, or alternative dispute
resolution process. The State will not be responsible for any judgment entered against the Other Party, and
will not be bound by the terms of any settlement entered into by the Other Party except with the written
approval of the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Transportation and pursuant to applicable law.

Agenda Placement Consent Agenda
Originating Department/Requestor: Mary McComber, Mayor
Requester’s Signature ______________________________________________
Action Requested Approve NLC 202 Early - City Summit Registration and Related Travel Costs
for Member Attendance
Background/Justification (Please indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public bodies
have advised):
Pursuant to MN Stat. 471.661 relating to Out of State Travel and the City’s adopted policy relating to
Travel, Conferences and Schools - Section 3, I would like the City Council to consider and approve costs
associated with attendance of the National League of Cities – City Summit – planned at this time to be
held in – Nov 1
Conferences & Meetings - National League of Cities (nlc.org) - https://www.nlc.org/conferences-meetings/
The cost of attendance for early registration which may open soon is typically in the $600-range versus
later registration which is usually about $200 more. I have yet to identify “coach” airfare or base hotel
registration costs as these too can carry early registration cost reductions, however the base registration
rate usually has a fixed timeline.
The NLC City Summit is compliant and consistent with the City’s policy (attached) as it is an annual
conference for local government officials to learn about what other cities are doing, interact with other
local leaders from around the country and participate in policy discussions that provide direction to the
NLC. The NLC is non-partisan and works to support the benefit cities across the nation.
At this time the 202 Budget for Council – Travel, Conf and Schools – Account Balance is:
$(Acct #40100-203) I would like to register in the “early” window and attend the event.
I would also encourage any Council Member to also consider if it may work in their schedules.

The questiontoOakParkHeights is should itormustthe City be a signatory (“opt-in”) tothe

Unfortunately, it isnot clearif the Cityis beingaskedbythe State of Minnesota toopt-in–as theavailable
materials and document language appears toconvey interest in seeking“sign-on” by larger counties andcities
of over30,000 population (or in some instances, over 10,000). Nor does it appear our City would be a direct
party totheAgreements nor receive directfunds dueto smallersize. However, the implication in the
narrative fromthe Attorney Generalisthat the more cities “sign-on” the total amount of payments flowing to
Minnesota may increase –specifically: “…The more cities and counties that join, the more money everyone
in Minnesota will receive.”
City Attorney Kevin Sandstrom will provide more guidance at the Council Meeting.
Requested Action:Consider attached Resolution

The League’s Role
Since 2022, the League has been working closely with state and local government partners to develop
and implementa state-subdivision agreement (or “Minnesota Memorandum of Agreement”) designed
to maximize the settlement funds coming to the state from litigation against opioids manufacturers and
distributors. The money is earmarked to fund needed abatement and remediation programs to fight
against the devastating impacts on Minnesota communities borne from the opioid crisis.

2021.
To participate in the New National Opioid Settlements, a participation form for each settlement
must be executed, without alteration, and submitted on or before April 18, 2023, in order for the
City to be considered for initial participation calculations and payment eligibility. An Amended
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) must also be executed and submitted as soon as possible in
order for the City to be considered a “Participating Local Government” under the Amended
MOA.
City participation in the New National Opioid Settlements has been reviewed and is
recommended by staff, the City Attorney and the League of Minnesota Cities for the City to
participate.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution approving authorizing Woodbury City
staff to execute all necessary documents to ensure Woodbury City participation in the multistate
settlements relating to opioid supply chain participants, and in the Minnesota Opioids State-
Subdivision Memorandum of Agreement.
Fiscal Implications
The amount the State of Minnesota will receive the City’s share of that have yet to be
determined. Awards are dependent on participation by both litigating and non-litigating local
governments and could exceed $235 million over 15 years for Minnesota.

Council Letter 23-
April 12, 2023

Under the MOA, abatement funds will be directed as follows:
Seventy-five percent (75%) will be paid directly to counties and certain cities/other
municipalities that participate in the settlement process (e.g., cities over 30,000
population and any City that has a public health department).
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the abatement funds will be paid directly to the State.
Policy
Not applicable
Public Process
On December 16, 2021, Council approved the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the
State of Minnesota and Local Governments and authorized participating in National Opioid
Settlements. This is the first public process for New National Opioid Settlements.
Background
Based upon subdivision participation forms received on or before April 18th, the subdivision
participation rate will be used to determine whether participation for each deal is sufficient for
the settlement to move forward and whether a state earns its maximum potential payment
under the settlement. If the settlement moves forward, the City’s signed release will become
effective. If a settlement does not move forward, that release will not become effective.
Any subdivision that does not participate cannot directly share in the settlement funds, even if
other participating subdivisions are sharing in settlement funds. Any subdivision that does not
participate will also reduce the amount of money for programs to remediate the opioid crisis in
Minnesota. It should also be noted, a subdivision will not necessarily directly receive settlement
funds by participating. To promote efficiency in the use of abatement funds and avoid
administratively burdensome disbursements that would be too small to add a meaningful
abatement response, certain smaller subdivisions do not automatically receive a direct allocation
(this is not anticipated to occur for the City of Woodbury). However, participation by such
subdivisions will help maximize the amount of abatement funds being paid to Minnesota,
including those going to counties and cities. Any City allocated a share may also elect to have its
full share or a portion of its full share directed to the county or counties in which it is located.

Action Requested Discussion/ Possible Action
Staff would like to have a check-in with Council on the following Items:
One of the topics discussed at the 3/14/23 work-session was the concept of holding a PUBLIC
HEARING related to a possible ordinance amendment that may allow limited apiary / bee
keeping in the City. These are not permitted in the City per the current ordinance, but recall the
th
City has been approached by a resident on Upper 55Street to reconsider this.
If a PUBLIC HEARING is something the Council might desire to hold as a chance to hear more
information on the topic – both positive and negative.. or whatever it may be… it might desire to
set a date for that.
In addition, does it desire that to be at the Planning Commission or at the City Council.
The staff memo dated 3/9/23 is attached.

MEMO
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Eric Johnson, City Administrator
RE: Apiary / Bee Keeping
th
The Council is aware that a resident Mr. Mike Houde who resides at 14529 Upper 55approached the City
Council in February indicating if there is a possibility to consider the allowance of the keeping of bees in
the City. The City’s current rules 602.08 prohibit that as outlined in City Ordinance.
I dorecall that concerns for this
10 years ago+/- was that there
was a dispute between a
neighbor who cited that their
child was allergic to bees and
sought some prohibition prior to
any establishment of such un the
City – perhaps beyond the one
known the neighborhood.
Since that time, it appears that – like the keepingof chickens – perhaps due to COVID – there is some
desire for a “cottage” industry of these things..Many cities now allow chickens – including OPH that did
not 10 years ago. Perhaps Apiaries are the same?
Mr. Houde has supplied a letter and several examples of communities in the metro area that allow some
limitedbee keeping. In comparing these – including Stillwater’s – they substantivelyfollow the MODEL
ORDINACE as offered from the Minnesota Hobby Bee Keepers AssociationMN Hobby Beekeepers
(mnbeekeepers.com) – this website offers significant MN based data on the issue.
https://mnbeekeepers.com/wp-content/uploads/MHBA-Model-Ordinance-2018.pdf
While anecdotally, I have not personally heard of issues with this type of land –use as being wholly
incompatible with a residential nature in a low density setting. The City can require permittingand
limitations similar to chickensand is what other communities utilize.
Perhaps the City considers holding a publichearing on the concept ofit may be the next step?

Agenda Item Title: Resolution Declaring Local State of Emergency
Agenda Placement New Business
Originating Department/Requestor: Eric Johnson, City Administrator
Requester’s Signature
Action Requested _Approve Resolution Declaring Local State of Emergency for Flood Assistance
and Operations - 2023
Based upon further communication with the Chief of Police and other Emergency Managers within our community, there is a
possibility of flooding impacts related to the St. Croix River and as a result of this year’s spring melt.
The City generally has three “properties” along the riverway, lying east of STH 95 being: Sunnyside Condominiums &
Marina, the Wastewater Treatment Facility and Xcel Energy. As it relates to the Marina, this area is well managed and
prepared for the rise in the water as they have been through this many-times and begin installing barricades and flood
proofing of buildings at the 688 ft stage. Xcel Energy has been issued an emergency permit to build a 1,400 linear foot dyke
and the WWTF is implemented necessary steps as required by the MET COUNCIL/ STATE. It is vital to note that
Sunnyside Condominiums are at an elevation that is significantly
above this elevation being – over 700 ft.
While this is a traditional spring concern, in the event there are some
significant changes in these reports it is important to be able to react
quickly. Thus, the issuance of an EMEREGNCY DECLARATION that
empowers the City Emergency Government Manager – Chief Hansen
to reasonable implement actions – where possible - to address some
matters and secure resources outside the traditional bidding protocols.
The enclosed resolution provides the Chief such reasonable authority
and may help in the securing of possible reimbursements.
