No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0.00 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment N/A Background: Officer Abdirisak was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He moved to the Twin Cities about two and half years ago to live with his older brother who was moving to the Twin Cities from Madison, Wisconsin. Prior to moving to Minnesota, Officer Abdirisak was a pre-medicalstudent at Indiana University. Officer Abdirisak graduated from Decatur Central High School which is located on the southwest side of Indianapolis in 2017. Shortly after graduating high school, Officer Abdirisak started school at Indiana University and majored in Neuroscience. Council Packet Page Number 13 of 177 F3 During the COVID lockdown, Officer Abdirisak decided to do some career exploration as he always had an interest in serving his community and others. After doing a ride-along with a trooper, Officer Abdirisak decided he wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement. Shortly after moving to Minnesota, Officer Abdirisak started school at Metro State University in Saint Paul. In December of 2023, Officer Abdirisak graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Police Science from Metro State University. While attending school at Metro State University, Officer Abdirisak also worked as a Community Service Officer with the Golden Valley Police Department. Officer Abdirisak also served as a Police Cadet with the City of Edina. Shortly after graduating from college, Officer Abdirisak was hired as a full-time police officer with the City of Maplewood. Officer Abdirisak became interested in the Maplewood Police Department after observing the department's positive relationships with the community in addition to the family-like environment within the police department. Officer Abdirisak also likes that the City of Maplewood has the best of both worlds when it comes to proactive policing as well as the call volume which exposes officers to various aspects of police work. Looking forward, Officer Abdirisak has an interest in becoming a dedicated traffic enforcement officer. Officer Abdirisak also has an interest in becoming a detective. Prior to starting with the City of Maplewood, Officer Abdirisak was new to the area however, within a short time, he has become familiar with the east metro. When Officer Abdirisak is not working, he enjoys going to the gym, trying out new restaurants, watching sports, and spending time with family and friends. Officer Born was born and raised in Shakopee, Minnesota. After finishing high school, Officer Born attended the University of Minnesota Twin Cities where he earned a bachelor’s degree in human physiology. After spending a few years working in multiple emergency departments in Minneapolis, Officer Born found his interests to be more aligned with law enforcement than a career in medicine. After some deliberation with his father, a retired Golden Valley Officer, Officer Born decided to make the switch. After finishing the Law Enforcement Certificate Program through Metro State University, Officer Born attended the skills program at Hennepin Tech. Officer Born then passed his POST licensing exam and began searching for his department. While searching for a department that would be a good fit for him, Officer Born came upon the city of Maplewood. Officer Born was attracted to multiple aspects of Maplewood. Officer Born didn’t want to work for a city where the calls were few and far between as he likes to stay busy. At the same time, he wanted a balance and didn’t want to feel overwhelmed with his workload. Maplewood, being a first-ring suburb, was a good balance of urban and suburban. Additionally, Officer Born wanted to feel supported by the city that he works for. Maplewood’s community and leaders have a history of constantly backing its officers. In his free time, Officer Born likes to prioritize his physical fitness. He enjoys going to the gym as it provides a break for his brain and a challenge for his body. He is also getting into pickleball and loves trying new sports and activities outdoors. Officer Mallet was born and raised in the city of Maplewood and attended Maplewood and North St. Paul Schools growing up. As a kid, Officer Mallet spent most of his time outside of school playing street hockey with neighbors and bike riding or skateboarding with friends on the Bruce Vento trail. Officer Council Packet Page Number 14 of 177 F3 th Mallet first became interested in law enforcement in 5grade, when he attended Officer Metry’s D.A.R.E. program at Weaver Elementary School. Officer Mallet received an associate’s degree in law enforcement from Century College and completed the law enforcement SKILLS program at Hennepin Technical College. While going to school for law enforcement, Officer Mallet was a volunteer reserve officer and full-time community service officer for the Stillwater Police Department; also working as a part time Community Service Officer for the Cottage Grove Police Department. Officer Mallet began his career as a Police Officer with the Stillwater Police Department in the beginning of 2018, when he was 21 years old. After serving the city of Stillwater for six years, Officer Mallet had a desire to return to his hometown to serve the community that he was raised in. One of the greatest aspects that appealed to Officer Mallet about the Maplewood Police Department was the opportunity to join an agency that he has wanted to be a part of since he was child. Officer Mallet has a desire to one day become a canine handler and would also like to be assigned to a traffic enforcement role during his career. During his free time, Officer Mallet enjoys spending time with his two dogs, Barney (a 3-year-old Beagle) and Rocco (a 3-year-old French Bulldog). Officer Mallet also enjoys playing hockey with friends from Stillwater Fire and White Bear Lake Fire Department during the winter. Attachments: None.

A study of this kind has never been conducted within the police department. The department is committed to being data-driven and proactive in addressing the needs of the community. This Staffing and Efficiency Study is an essential step in ensuring that the department is appropriately staffed to meet the changing demands of the growing community of Maplewood, while maintaining operational efficiency and effectiveness. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Staffing and Efficiency Study Agreement with the Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) for the Maplewood Police Department. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $107,500.00 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: Restricted Funds. Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment City Council approval is requested to sign the agreement. Background: The Maplewood Police Department has never undergone a comprehensive Staffing and Efficiency Study to thoroughly evaluate current staffing levels, analysis of workload, shift structures and patrol deployment. Participating in this process will allow the department to identify areas where staffing may be insufficient or overextended and ensure that resources are allocated where they are needed most. Additionally, the department will gather community input and benchmark department Council Packet Page Number 46 of 177 G3 performance against similar-sized departments, using key metrics such as crime rates, officer response times, and overall community satisfaction. The study will also review resource allocation, exploring the need for specialized units and additional support staff to maximize personnel deployment. In looking to the future, projections based on anticipated community growth and crime trends will be developed to ensure the department is equipped for proactive planning.The results of this study will provide actionable recommendations and a detailed implementation plan, including specific timelines and the necessary resources. This initiative will not only guide the police department’s strategic planning but will also be integral to budgetary planning and decision-making, ensuring the police department continues to deliver high-quality service while maintaining efficiency. It is important to note that this study will be funded through public safety aid money. To conduct the study, a request for quotes (RFQ) was sent to three firms: The Center for Values- Based Initiatives (CVBI), Raftelis, and The Axtel Group. The following quotes were received: Company Proposal Total Cost Axtel Group $109,900.00 CVBI $107,500.00 Raftelis $99,500.00 A committee of police administrative staff scored the RFQs based on several criteria, including qualifications and experience, methodology and approach, knowledge of local issues, project timeline, cost, references and past performance. After careful consideration, The Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) was selected as it offered the best overall value for the city by aligning seamlessly with the department’s goals and providing a forward-thinking, actionable staffing study. Their approach complements Maplewood’s community-oriented policing strategy and supports the long-term public safety objectives of the department. CVBI demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges the department faces, particularly in delivering effective public safety services within a diverse and evolving community like Maplewood. This local expertise will be invaluable in ensuring the study’s recommendations are both practical and tailored to the specific needs of the department. While CVBI’s bid wasn’t the lowest, their proposal stood out for its comprehensive scope, added value through their methodology, and relevant experience. Opting for a firm based purely on cost could compromise the quality and long-term impact of the study, which would be a disservice to the city. The department is confident that CVBI’s expertise will guide department resource allocation in a way that enhances both the department’s operations and the community’s well-being for years to come.

The MPD is seeking a qualified professional consultant to develop a plan for guiding the future police services to the Maplewood community in the most efficient and effective manner. The Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) has a longstanding personal and professional connection with the City of Maplewood and would be honored to positively contribute to the police department and community. The CVBI is committed to the application of best-practices in all aspects for police services; therefore, the CVBI’s approach will follow a strategic planning model that has been shown to increase organizational performance, employee morale, and police/community trust. In brief, the primary goal of this proposal is to conduct a comprehensive police services staffing study and guided by best practices, make recommendations and provide an implementable plan for the future success of the department. The CVBI understands and affirms the purpose, goals, and deliverables associated with the MPD’s staffing study. Therefore, this proposal includes a detailed work plan that meets or exceeds all the Department’s expectations: The Maplewood Police Department seeks qualified vendors to submit quotations for a comprehensive staffing study. This study will assess the department's current staffing levels, allocation, and deployment practices to ensure optimal performance and alignment with community needs. Although we are a public safety department in which the Director of Public Safety/Police Chief oversees Police, Fire, and EMS, this staffing study will focus on police staffing and operations. The CVBI will complete the following Scope of Work and Deliverables: Evaluate Current Staffing: Analyze current staffing levels, shifts, and roles within the MPD. Assess Workload Distribution: Examine the distribution of workload among officers and support staff. Benchmarking: Compare MPD's staffing levels and practices with similar-sized departments in comparable communities. Community Needs Analysis: Assess the community's needs and expectations from the police department. Recommendations: Provide actionable recommendations for staffing adjustments, deployment strategies, and potential reorganization to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. Deliverables: o Initial Assessment Report: A preliminary report summarizing initial findings and potential areas for further analysis. o Final Report: A detailed report including all analyses, findings, and recommendations. o Presentation: A formal presentation of the final report to MPD leadership and relevant stakeholders. 9 Council Packet Page Number 56 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 SECTION 2: PROPOSED APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Approach There is ample evidence that reducing staff and/or subjecting staff to poor working conditions reduces organizational effectiveness and morale. However, empirical studies do not show that simply increasing the number of police officers automatically improves officer safety, organizational morale, or community. Moreover, evidence cannot be found that shows the speed in answering calls for service or number of officers on the street corresponds with increased community/police trust. Most police staffing studies do not begin with a focus on the organizational mission and the goal of increasing community/public safety. This means that many studies conclude with a report that discusses full- and part- time equivalent employees, relief factors, deployment models, and response times. In contrast, research on best-practices shows that efforts to answer public safety staffing questions must be wholistic (21CP Solutions, 2023; IACP, 2023; Wilson et all, 2014). For example, in Pillar One of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing (2015), the primary purpose for public safety organizational decisions should be to increase trust and legitimacy. Too often staffing studies result in narrowly focused exploration of short term solutions to organizational challenges (Bostrom 2020). Therefore, the CVBI will utilize a comprehensive approach (International Organization for Standardization 2019) to the MPD staffing study. All aspects of the CVBI’s work will align with the MPD mission: in partnership with its citizens, will work to solve problems relating to crime and the fear of crime, with an emphasis on meeting community needs (Maplewood Public Safety, 2024). In summary, the CVBI will apply the principles of action research and best-practices throughout this study. This approach will incorporate the City’s unique characteristics community composition and expectations, staffing strengths, calls for service, geography, and available budget. Mostly importantly, this approach will result in a staffing structure that increases organizational performance and trust. Methodology As described in the RFQ, the primary objectives of the Scope of Work include the following: Evaluate Current Staffing, Assess Workload Distribution, Benchmarking, Community Needs Analysis, and Recommendations. The CVBI’s methodology to complete the MPD deliverables is a milestone-based work plan. Each milestone functions as a deliverable and includes an Initial Assessment Report to the Director of the Maplewood Public Safety which summarizes initial findings and potential areas for further analysis. To improve future operationalization of the staffing study, instead of attempting to isolate each objective in the Scope of Work, the CVBI has intentionally included more than one objective in each milestone. The Final Report will include a detailed report including all analyses, findings, considerations, opportunities, and recommendations. The culminating event will be for the CVBI to provide an in-person formal presentation of the final report to MPD leadership and relevant stakeholders. Methodological details regarding the CVBI’s work plan, milestones, and deliverables are provided below. 10 Council Packet Page Number 57 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 MILESTONE 1 Project Commencement Purpose Host a kickoff meeting to introduce project objectives, milestones, and timeline to selected MPD and/or City leaders and subject matter experts. Objectives Meet with City staff who oversee the areas noted in the project Scope of Work, including but not limited to, Benchmarking, Evaluating Current Staffing Allocation, Workload Distribution, Community Needs, Staff Recommendations, and Overall Staffing and Structure. Establish Contact List Identify and be introduced to the primary contact person for each aspect of the project Scope of Work including, title, name, email, phone number, and preferred method of contact (i.e., email, text, phone, virtual, or face to face). 11 Council Packet Page Number 58 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 MILESTONE 2 Benchmark Current Services, Staffing, Facilities, Equipment, and Budget The second step in this study is to benchmark the current MPD services, staffing, facilities, equipment, and budget. Establishing these baselines (i.e., benchmarks) are fundamental to understanding the department’s current environment and operations. To accomplish Milestone 2, the CVBI will utilize the following data gathering and assessment factors to: Examine Ramsey County Emergency Communication Center (ECC) data to measure the volume of calls for the police services. Determine baseline for 2024 policing services, including: o Citizen calls for service o Officer-initiated services o Investigations o Property and records o Education/Prevention o Proactive policing initiatives o Administrative requests from residents Identify of the number of police employees and annual budget for: o Patrol o Investigations o Administration o Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board licensed positions o Non-licensed positions o Volunteers Identify staffing levels and assignments, including: o Authorized o Actual Document physical policing structures and facilities Document police response vehicles, including o Number o Purpose o Capability Optional – Document police technology and data systems Report Provide an initial assessment report to the Director of Public Safety which benchmarks the MPD’s current police services, staffing, facilities, equipment, and budget. 12 Council Packet Page Number 59 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 Introduction to Milestones 3 and 4 The Scope of Work requires Community Needs Analysis: Assess the community's needs and expectations from the police department. Milestones 3 and 4 are proven practices for gaining valuable insight and recommendations from community, staff, and city leaders. The CVBI will provide two deliverables with interrelated tasks; this process builds the foundation for making future operational recommendations. The CVBI will utilize action research methods, community and staff engagement processes, and ISO 9001 recommendations to gather the information necessary to clarify the community’s expectations and MPD’s capacity to meet those expectations. MILESTONE 3 Community Engagement The foundation for all data gathering and assessment will be based on the following: Community policing principles Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001 in local government (ISO Standard No. 18091:2019) City demographics Principles of procedural fairness o Fair practices o Transparency in word and action o Unbiased decision-making o Community and staff voice The overarching objective is to clarify the community’s expectations concerning the MPD’s police services and learn the community’s perspectives regarding the values that generate trust in public safety. The CVBI will use action research methods, community engagement processes, and ISO 9001 recommendations to gather the information necessary to clarify community expectations concerning core public safety services and mutual trust. Purpose and Objectives Conduct a minimum of three community engagement meetings using the principles of focus group research to identify the priorities for the delivery of the City’s public safety services and clarify the values and police actions that lead to increased trust. MPD Core Services and Actions that Affect Trust What are the community’s primary expectations of the MPD, when a: o Resident calls 911? o Crime has been committed? Which MPD actions increase trust? Which MPD actions decrease trust? Data Gathering Process Conduct data gathering and analysis at each session Ask questions tailored to elicit the values that lead to increased trust and clarify the community’s expectations related to core policing services. The CVBI will: o Audio record all listening sessions 13 Council Packet Page Number 60 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 o Transcribe audio recordings o Record primary responses on eraser board or via projector o Code and analyze data associated with responses and narratives o Organize data into themes o Organize data into core values and services The CVBI will need assistance from the city in the following areas: Invitations to participants o Email o Phone call o Text (SMS) Reminders Retention of participant list Meeting space Conference table(s) and chairs Projector Eraser board/flip chart/markers Provision of water and coffee Participant sign-in sheet Printed agenda Report Provide an initial assessment report, wherein the community’s recommendations are organized into broad themes, primary values, and core police service expectations to the Director of Public Safety. 14 Council Packet Page Number 61 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 MILESTONE 4 Staff Engagement The staff engagement process in Milestone 4 will follow the process described in Milestone 3. Therefore, the CVBI will engage staff through the following: Conduct three meetings with departmental staff using the principles of focus group research to align community/department values with priorities for safety services. Provide briefings on community engagement sessions Ask police staff, based on your knowledge and experience, what would you add to the community’s recommendations and MPD core services? Data Gathering Process Conduct data gathering and analysis at each session o Audio record all listening sessions o Transcribe audio recordings o Record primary responses on eraser board or via projector o Code and analyze data associated with responses and narratives o Organize data into themes o Organize data into core values and primary services The CVBI will need assistance from the city in the following areas: Invitations to participants o Email o Phone call o Text (SMS) Reminders o Retention of participant list Meeting space o Identification of suitable meeting room o Reservation of space o Conference table(s) and chairs o Projector o Eraser board/flip chart/markers o Provision of water and coffee o Participant sign-in sheet o Printed agenda Report Provide an initial assessment report regarding the staff’s recommendations associated with increasing trust and MPD core service expectations to the Director of Public Safety. 15 Council Packet Page Number 62 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 MILESTONE 5 Report Back Meetings To help the MPD confirm core service expectations and increase trust, the CVBI will report findings and progress regarding core service expectations and shared values and to the community engagement and departmental staff participants.

The high-level categories below offer exploratory statements and questions that the CVBI answered as a part of this study. Overall Staffing and Structure Recommend an optimal staffing model and leadership structure for the entire Department of Public Safety including providing a proposed organizational chart(s). Consider City demographics, call volume, call structure, response model, and community expectations in identifying the needs of the Department. Evaluate how leave time, training commitments and programs impact the Department’s ability to provide core services. Adhere to the concept of a unified public safety model. Define systems and structures for improving communications and relationships between leadership, frontline supervisors, and line staff. Establish metrics for future staffing recommendations. Assess internal functions (i.e., professional standards, property/evidence, training, information technology, etc.). Personnel Resource Allocation The majority of additional sworn officer positions have been added in non-patrol functions of the department with little change to field-based, patrol deployment numbers. Is the current workload in all units appropriate with manageable span of control for leaders? How could civilian/non-licensed staff be further utilized? Are schedules appropriate? Fire Service Delivery New Brighton’s firefighting approach is unique in the region. Most neighboring fire departments have shifted to combination staffing with duty-crew shifts and/or career firefighters. Is the volunteer/paid- on-call firefighting model sustainable long-term? What additional measures could ensure its continued viability for recruitment and retention? Strategic Partnerships New Brighton’s extensive relationships with police, fire, EMS, and emergency management partners are integral to the functioning of the department. What are the risks and opportunities for public safety in New Brighton with its dependence on these partnerships? Are there additional relationships that the department should pursue with other entities? Community Engagement Despite its national and international recognition for policing, New Brighton continues to further innovate and develop proactive relationships with the community, especially new residents. What additional means of public education and outreach initiatives should the department employ? How can other municipal departments be part of these efforts? 29 Council Packet Page Number 76 of 177 G3, Attachment 1 Data and Technology Technological advancements both enhance and challenge the department. Further, public safety generates and collects a lot of data. How can New Brighton fully utilize the value of this information to enhance department operations? Are allocations for personnel, training, and equipment sufficient to meet the department’s technology and data needs? Contracted Services Expansion Both adjacent and non-contiguous cities have previously asked New Brighton to consider providing public safety services to their communities on a contractual basis. Current municipal governance also has interest in developing a revenue generation model of public safety service delivery to other jurisdictions. Is this a financially prudent and operationally achievable approach to expanding service delivery beyond New Brighton’s borders?

It supported the Bloomington Police Department (BPD) through a transition from a traditional model of recruiting, selecting, training, and promoting law enforcement personnel to a values-based model that enables them to Hire for Character and Train for Competence®. This new model of policing is based on the identification of the community's values and the alignment of those values with the recruitment, selection, evaluation, and promotion of BPD officers. The key to project success was the unwavering focus on community engagement, internal engagement, employee retention, and organizational assessment. Utilizing the preceding strategies, the goal of increasing police trust and reducing community tension was accomplished through the alignment of the values and mindsets of peace officers with those of the community they serve. Consulting services provided by the CVBI resulted in the implementation of a strategic plan to increase community/police trust. The CVBI thoroughly reviewed the existing model utilized for recruitment and selection of BPD officers, interviewed stakeholders, and consulted with BPD leadership to create a new community policing and values-based recruitment and selection business model specifically for BPD. Also, the CVBI assisted BPD leadership with implementing the new model by aligning it with organizational outcomes, Federal and State employment laws, City policies and procedures, and ISO 9001 (i.e., International Standard ISO 18091). The CVBI also included supplementary deliverables that will strengthen the sustainability of the project. These deliverables did not result in additional costs to the City.

Current Service Analysis Current service analysis included community value and satisfaction, workload, and policing service contract. Future Service Recommendations Future service recommendations relating to police services provided by nearby communities, options for the City to either provide or contract for police service, and how to structure future contracts for police services. Task Force Recommendations Implementation Task force recommendations implementation comprising analyzing the current recommendations that were adopted by the City Council on May 24, 2017, determining which of the recommendations have been completed, and developing a report of actionable steps to address the Task Force recommendations. The Center for Values-Based Initiatives (CVBI) analyzed the City’s policing services with the objective of providing policy makers and community members information that can be used to positively inform future policing services agreements. Specifically, the CVBI analyzed the City’s policing services agreement with the RCSO, the levels of community satisfaction with policing services, the Ramsey County Emergency Communication Center (RCECC) summary of the City’s policing services from 2018 through 2022, the RCSO 2023 budget estimate, the current policing services provided in nearby communities, and the options for the City to either provide its own, or contract for, policing services.

The objective was to learn the values and behaviors that generate police trust and then align those values with those of the DPS.

An action research design utilized community engagement in two U.S. communities to discern the values and behaviors that generate trust in the police and to explore how those values may be integrated into policing policies and processes. While there is general agreement that compliance emanates from the practice of the principles of procedural justice which are interrelated with trust, normative alignment, and legitimacy, it has proven to be to more difficult to test, translate, and embed these ideas in police organizations. With these factors in mind, I tested a process to increase trust and normative alignment between the community and police and to answer the primary question: How can police trust and legitimacy be increased? I conducted four phases of qualitative research and document analysis to determine which values community members desire in police officers, how police organizations can align their values with the community’s values, how to select police officers who possess the community’s values, and how police organizations can reinforce the community’s values in their officers.

One to be used as a lactation/wellness room and the other space will be designated for future office needs of the finance department. o The existing location is next to the finance department. The total project cost will be not to exceed $80,000 which will include two wellness and rooms, one fully enclosed office space, updated duct work and electrical work, as well as furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF/E) for all three spaces. Our Wellness Committee will be responsible for finalizing furniture, fixtures, and equipment needed for both wellness rooms. In addition, the total cost includes approximately $5,500 for secure storage needed for financial records in the City Hall basement. The project will be completed in early November, 2024. Funds for the project will come from our CIP Building Project funds. The City will award the project to RJ Marco with subcontractor work being negotiated to assist with electrical, fencing and duct work.

Bonds Improvement $4,759,334 Street Revitalization Fund $658,082 Environmental Utility Fund $2,156,000 Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed $125,000 Sanitary Sewer Fund $430,000 WAC Fund $83,400 St. Paul Regional Water $1,086,800 Special Assessments (Preliminary Roll) $1,579,584 Total Project Funding: $10,878,200 Council Packet Page Number 92 of 177 H1 The assessment amountsshown in the attached pending assessment roll exhibit are based on the appraisal report completed by an independent appraiser. Based on the appraisal report, the total assessment amount was found to be $1,523,653. This is roughly $55,931 lower than the preliminary amount of $1,579,584. The change in amounts is largely attributed to a reduction of assessment amounts for some commercial properties located along Maplewood Drive as recommended by the appraisal report. It is anticipated the reduction in assessment funding will be covered by the project’s 10% contingencies that are built into the above funding plan. The project costs and current funding plan have been reviewed by the Finance Director. A final budget adjustment will be made based on final construction costs after construction is complete. Budget adjustments are not recommended at this time.

Overall, the applicant proposes to install 20 individual signs on the site. Of the 20 proposed, 13 comply with ordinance requirements. For the remaining seven signs, the applicant seeks the following variances: Number of Wall Signs. The applicant proposes six wall signs. The ordinance permits one wall sign per street frontage. This property has two street frontages, so two wall signs are permitted. The applicant seeks additional signs than what the ordinance permits. Directional Signage that Exceeds Size Maximums. The applicant also proposes variances for three directional signs above the canopy entering the car wash that exceed ordinance size requirements. The ordinance permits directional signage up to six square feet in size. The applicant is proposing a variance to permit these three directional signs on the canopy to be seven and ten square feet in size. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a resolution denying a sign variance request for Mister Car Wash, located at 3050 White Bear Avenue North. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $ 0.00 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment Council Packet Page Number 111 of 177 J1 The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on July 25, 2024. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision was September 23, 2024. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review. The city sent the applicant a letter extending the review deadline to November 22, 2024. Background: Mister Car Wash requests approval of sign variances to allow signs that exceed the maximum permitted number and size on the property at 3050 White Bear Avenue. The city approved a conditional use permit and the design plans for a car wash to be constructed on the property on February 26, 2024, which is currently under construction. The property can have up to two wall and two freestanding signs, which require sign permits. Additionally, the property can have directional signs that do not require sign permits (exempt), provided they are under six square feet and six feet tall. Tidal Wave Car Wash, on the corner of White Bear Avenue and County Road C, has similar directional signs for entering the car wash, and these signs are limited to six square feet. The applicant is proposing the following: Two freestanding monument signs and nine directional signs. The monument signs and directional signs meet ordinance requirements for height and size. o A variance is not required for these signs. Six wall signs on the building. The wall signs exceed the maximum number of signs (two are permitted). Each individual sign meets the maximum size allowed – 80 square feet. o To meet city requirements, the applicant would need to reduce the amount of wall signs to two. Three directional canopy signs. The canopy signs exceed the size permitted for a directional sign (exempt from permitting if under six square feet) and are shown to be 7.78 square feet and 9.63 square feet. o To meet city requirements, the applicant would need to reduce the size of the directional canopy signs to six square feet. Sign Variance State statute allows variances to be approved when the proposal is in harmony with city goals and policies outlined in the comprehensive plan and official controls and when practical difficulties exist. The practical difficulty standard outlines three factors cities must consider on a variance request: reasonableness, uniqueness, and essential character. 1.Reasonableness – When the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance. 2.Uniqueness – When the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 3.Essential Character – When the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Council Packet Page Number 112 of 177 J1 Summary City staff has reviewed the application and finds the request is not in harmony with city goals and policies outlined in the comprehensive plan and official controls and does not meet the practical difficulties standard that must apply. The applicant has not provided a reasonable justification for the sign variance request, and the existing circumstances are not unique to this property and were created by the owner. The applicant can have the desired number of directional canopy signs if the proposed signs are reduced to sizes meeting the ordinance requirements. The applicant is proposing two additional wall signs and two logos exceeding what the ordinance allows. Because the applicant has a corner lot, the ordinance already allows the applicant to have one additional wall sign than its neighboring properties are permitted. Additionally, all proposed wall signs exceed the ordinance’s size requirements, and the applicant has not provided sufficient justification for why variances should be granted. The applicant’s proposal far exceeds the permitted signage for commercial properties in this zoning district. 2017 Sign Variance Request – 3070 White Bear Avenue In 2017, the property directly to the north of the applicant’s property requested a sign variance to allow two additional wall signs in addition to the one wall sign the ordinance allows. The city council denied this request at its November 13, 2017 meeting. Commission Review Planning Commission September 17, 2024: The Planning Commission held a public hearing, reviewed the sign variance request, and recommended denial. Department Comments No Comments. Public Comments Staff sent a public hearing notice and application details to the properties within 500 feet of the subject property. No public comments were received.

The total size of all wall signage for single-tenant buildings is determined by the gross square footage of the principal structure on the property. The total coverage area of each wall sign, including each differentiated business, shall be based on the wall surface to which the sign is attached. o Principal Structure Gross Square Feet of Floor Area: Less than 10,000 sq. ft. o Maximum Size and Coverage Area of Each Sign: 80 sq. ft. or 20% of wall face, whichever is less A wall sign may be attached to an overhanging awning or canopy, instead of the façade of the building, as long as the wall sign does not exceed 50 percent of the face of the awning or canopy, or the maximum size specified above, whichever is less. One freestanding sign is permitted for each street upon which the property has frontage. For properties with multiple street frontages, each additional freestanding sign must be located on a different street and each sign must be separated by more than 100 feet measured in a straight line between signs, excluding auto dealerships. The total size and maximum height of each freestanding sign is determined by the street classification (as designated in the Maplewood Comprehensive Plan) of the closest street to which each freestanding sign is located. In the case of signs located at an intersection, the higher-ranking street classification should be used to determine the maximum height and size allowable for a freestanding sign. o White Bear Avenue, Minor Arterial: maximum size - 140 sq. ft., maximum height (pylon sign) -20 ft., maximum height (monument sign) -12 ft. o Woodlynn Avenue, Minor Collector: maximum size -100 sq. ft., maximum height (pylon sign) -15 ft., maximum height (monument sign) -10 ft Attachments: 1.Sign Variance Denial Resolution 2.Overview Map 3.Future Land Use Map 4.Zoning Map 5.Applicant Narrative 6.Sign Plans 7.Draft Planning Commission Minutes, September 17, 2024 8.Presentation Slides Council Packet Page Number 114 of 177 J1, Attachment 1 SIGNVARIANCE DENIAL RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maplewood, Minnesota, as follows: Section 1.

Tax Parcel Identification: 022922210025 Section 2. Standards. 2.01 Variance Standard. City Ordinance Section 44-13 refers to a state statute that states a variance may be granted from the requirements of the zoning ordinance when: (1) the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this ordinance; (2) when the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan; and (3) when the applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical difficulties mean: (1) the proposed use is reasonable; (2) the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, and not solely based on economic conditions; (3) the variance if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Section 3. Findings. 3.01 The setback variance request does not meet the required standards for a variance. 1.That the need for a variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, and not solely based on economic conditions; Council Packet Page Number 115 of 177 J1, Attachment 1 2.That the proposed use is reasonable; and 3.That the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality; and 4.That the need for a variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this ordinance; and 5.That the variance is consistent with the comprehensive plan.

The sign package contains 10 wall signs on the main building, 3 signs on the façade of the canopy for lane designation, 2 freestanding signs, and 8 directional signs. Maplewood’s zoning regulation 44-742(d)(2) limits the number of wall signs to 1 per street frontage and the table restricts the size of each of those signs to the lesser of 80 sq. ft. or 20% of the wall face. The proposed wall signs on the building are important for brand identification and wayfinding. They are proposed at the proper size and quantity for the building and the number of ingress/egress points to the site motorists can utilize. To limit the number and quantity of the wall signs to the 1 per street frontage (2 total) would not allow for proper wayfinding for the parcel. This is not a standard retail business model where the customer comes to the location, parks his/her car, and goes inside to shop. It is a high traffic stay in your car-type business model where quick wayfinding and decision-making are essential to public safety. The 3 signs proposed on the canopy (also considered wall signs) are essential to the operation and wayfinding on the site. They provide necessary lane identification for customers based upon their level of service (unlimited member vs. cash customer) needed. It is designed in the proper size and scale to be quickly legible so that they can decide which lane to choose. The code would allow for these signs as directional signs however it limits these signs to 6 sq. ft. They cannot be that small based on the design of the sign. They are individual channel letters and to reduce the font size any smaller would not allow the led illumination source to be installed in the individual letters. Variance Standards Reasonableness: The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner. A car wash is a reasonable use of the property. Mister Car Wash operated nearly 500 locations throughout the country and does so in a safe and efficient manner. The proposed signs are essential to the site being run in a safe and reasonable manner. The city’s code does allow for additional signage on gas station canopies for brand identification. These signs would be similar to that with the exception that the Mister canopy signs provide essential wayfinding. Uniqueness: The property does possess a level of uniqueness since it is on a hard corner with a divided road on the frontage. It has overhead power lines on the North end and ingress/egress access from an adjoining parcel. The site lacks adequate access from the public based upon the traffic flow. It is important to have these Mister signs on the building in multiple locations to add to the visibility of the site. Essential Character: The essential character of the locality will not be altered, nor will it be out of scale, out of place, or otherwise inconsistent with the surrounding area. The businesses on the W side of White Bear have multiple building signs for their location. This location, although zoned differently, will be of similar character to those sites. The character of the area is essentially the same. Council Packet Page Number 120 of 177 Attachment 5 Harmony with the Intent of the Zoning Ordinance: The ordinance allows for relief from the zoning requirements when it is uniquely warranted. The request for the signs is uniquely warranted in that a code compliant package would result in significantly reduced wayfinding for site and a public safety hazard. Consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: The requested relief is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The signs proposed allow for the sign to be quickly identified and wayfinding to be quickly established. The signs aid operations in such manner by maintaining the necessary traffic flows in and around the site.

Conditional Use Permit Request Exterior Dog Run The applicant proposes expanding its programming to include space for pets of individuals staying in its domestic violence shelter. The applicant proposes providing six outdoor dog runs for residents' pets. Each run will be 4’ wide x 20’ long, with opaque fencing between each run. The runs will be located on the northwest side of the facility. Pet owners or staff will be with the pets while using the outdoor space. The applicant is also remodeling space inside the building for the pets to be kept and for the owners to spend time with them. Expanded Use of Commercial Kitchen In late 2023, the applicant completed a feasibility study to determine the best use of its existing but dormant 7,600-square-foot commercial kitchen space. The study determined that this space should be used to prepare meals for those experiencing homelessness and to create a small contract manufacturing site for home-based entrepreneurs seeking to move from at-home production to a larger kitchen area. The applicant is calling its kitchen space the Tubman Food Innovation Center. The applicant intends to partner with Involve MN, a nonprofit organization focused on unhoused, unsheltered, and chronically homeless individuals in the greater Minneapolis and St. Paul area. The Tubman facility will allow Involve MN to grow its meal operations to more than 12,000 meals per week. Involve MN will also be the primary food service for on-site Tubman programs. The meal preparations will occur on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and outreach and delivery activities will occur until 6 p.m. Up to 12 employees will be on-site, with three meal delivery vehicles leaving and returning to the site. There is expected to be one supply delivery per week as well. Use of the commercial kitchen is also proposed for a small co-manufacturing site for up to fifty-five monthly production shifts. The applicant anticipates that up to 20 food businesses will use the facility, most with bi-monthly production runs. The applicant estimates that no more than eight additional vehicles will visit the Tubman site daily. Because facility users will bring their supplies when they come to the site, there will be limited delivery vehicles. To support food preparation and manufacturing, the applicant anticipates increasing garbage and refuse pick-up from two days to three days a week.

Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated CommunicationOperational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment N/A Council Packet Page Number 173 of 177 J3 Background: On September 9, 2024, the City Council of the City of Maplewood met to discuss the Purple Line Project Î White Bear Avenue Alignment. During that discussion, members of the Council discussed the costs, benefits, and trade-offs associated with the project. The City Council identified concerns with the removal of one lane of traffic in each direction (northbound and southbound) along White Bear Avenue which would result in changing traffic patterns that would negatively impact ease of vehicle travel, negatively impact business owners along the corridor, and restrict vehicle movements with the elimination of left-hand turns throughout much of the corridor. White Bear Avenue is the premier commercial/services corridor in the City of Maplewood and the impacts associated with the project exceed the noted benefits of a fixed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to prepare a series of resolutions that would: Support Flexible Public Transportation and Transportation Alternatives in the City of Maplewood Rescind Support for the Purple Line Project along the Bruce Vento Trail (Locally Preferred Alternative) Rescind Support for the Purple Line Project along White Bear Avenue (Alternative Alignment) Attachments: 1.Resolution Supporting Flexible Public Transportation and Transportation Alternatives in the City of Maplewood 2.Resolution Rescinding Support of the Bruce Vento Trail Alignment 3.Resolution Rescinding Support of the White Bear Avenue Alignment Council Packet Page Number 174 of 177 J3, Attachment 1 CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA # \[XX-XXXX\] A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF FLEXIBLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood recognizes the importance of a robust, efficient and flexible transportation system for the economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and quality of life of its residents; and WHEREAS, public transportation and alternative transportation options such as micro-transit, letter-line bus options, emerging technology transportation options such as autonomous vehicles, and car-sharing provide numerous benefits, including reducing traffic congestion, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing accessibility for all; and WHEREAS, expanding and enhancing flexible public transportation options and supporting alternative modes of transportation can help to achieve these goals by providing reliable, accessible, and affordable transportation choices for all residents; and WHEREAS, investing in public transportation operations and promoting alternative transportation methods can contribute to economic growth by increasing access to jobs, education, and services, as well as supporting local businesses; and WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood seeks to improve connectivity within the city and with neighboring communities, and recognizes that a well-integrated and affordable transportation network is essential to achieving this goal; and WHEREAS, the City Council of Maplewood acknowledges the importance of collaboration with regional partners, transportation agencies, and community stakeholders to advance transportation initiatives that serve the entire community; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Maplewood supports the development, enhancement, and maintenance of flexible public transportation and transportation alternatives within the city and its surrounding areas; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council commits to working with regional and local transportation agencies, businesses, and community organizations to identify and implement strategies that promote the use of public transportation and alternative transportation options such as micro-transit, letter-line bus options, emerging technology transportation options. rd day of September, 2024 Adopted by the City Council of Maplewood, Minnesota, this 23 Council Packet Page Number 175 of 177 J3, Attachment 2 CITY OF MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA # \[XX-XXXX\] A RESOLUTION TO RESCIND SUPPORT OF THE PURPLE LINE PROJECT ALONG THE BRUCE VENTO TRAIL, AND RESCIND RESOLUTION 17-06-1473 (LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE) AND RESCIND RESOLUTION 20-05-1815 (15 PERCENT DESIGN) WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood previously adopted Resolution 17-06-1473 on June 6, 2017, Ǟŷźĭŷ ƷƩğƓƭƒźƷƷĻķ ƷŷĻ /źƷǤ͸ƭ ƭǒƦƦƚƩƷ ŅƚƩ \[ƚĭğƌƌǤ tƩĻŅĻƩƩĻķ !ƌƷĻƩƓğƷźǝĻ Λ.ƩǒĭĻ ĻƓƷƚ Ʃğźƌ !ƌźŭƓƒĻƓƷΜ of the Rush Line (Purple Line) to the Rush Line Corridor Task Force, the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority, and the Metropolitan Council; and WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood previously adopted Resolution 20-05-1815 on May 11, 2020, which provided support for the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit Project 15 Percent Plans within the City of Maplewood; and WHEREAS, after years of community feedback, analysis, and input on the effectiveness of dedicated Bus Rapid Transit along the Bruce Vento Trail, the City Council of the City of Maplewood has determined that the benefits of a dedicated Bus Rapid Transit Purple Line project along the Bruce Vento Trail in Maplewood is not worth the cost; and WHEREAS, rescinding these resolutions aligns with the City's current transportation priorities and strategic objectives.

Lamothe, AICP, Purple Line Project Manager RE: Purple Line Project Update MemoResponse to 9/9 Maplewood City Council Workshop with Key Points of Clarification th In light of recent news articles following the September 9Maplewood City Council workshop, the project team felt it was important to share agency partner statements and clarify some of the workshop discussion points to correctly inform future decision making on the project.The workshop touched on a number of alternative approaches to providing transit service in the City and incorrectly characterized aspects and potential impacts of the Purple Line project including: Post-pandemic transit usage Bus Rapid Transit as a trending mode Purple Line BRT Project Arterial BRT service Autonomous vehicles Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County Statements Purple Line project partners, the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County, are strongly committed to providing high-capacity transit services to this portion of the region -particularly for those who are th dependent on transit and issued the following statements in response to the September 9Maplewood City Council workshop discussion. Metropolitan Council Statement: investments to the east metro, and we are committed to continued engagement with our local partners. We look forward to advancing a regional transit vision that will connect our communities and ensure future prosperity, and we remain steadfast in our vision and commitment to a future with more Ramsey County Statement:"Ramsey County is dedicated to ensuring the voices of our residents, especially those with limited transit options, are central to advancing transformative transit projects. These projects aim to create strong transit corridors that connect residents and businesses to essential goods, services, healthcare, and employment, while also enhancing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, addressing aging infrastructure, and fostering thoughtful economic development and revitalization. The Purple Line is a forward-thinking project designed to meet the evolving mobility needs of the community, positioning Ramsey County and the region for long-term success. In a post-COVID world, the Њ For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 9/23/2024 Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2 Purple Line offers fast, convenient, and reliable transit service all day, every day. Importantly, 70% of trips along this corridor are focused outside of downtown St. Paul. We remain committed to ensuring the voices of Ramsey County residents are heard, and their transportation needs are not overlooked. As a transformative transit initiative, the Purple Line would bring significant investments to the east metroan area that has not benefited from transit infrastructure at the same level as other parts of our region. We will continue advocating for more equitable transit options that support the future success of our communities." Post-Pandemic Transit Usage Change in Who is Riding Transit Share of trips by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) riders has increased from 42% (2016) to 55% (2022) while only 29% of the regional population is BIPOC. Share of trips by riders earning less than $25k has increased from 27% (2016) to 33% (2022). Share of trips by riders with 1 or more disabilities has increased from 9% (2016) to 13% (2022). Change in Why People are Riding Transit Less people are riding transit for work-commutes. Less than half of trips are for work-commutes, and only 20% are for 9-5 jobs. Commuter and express bus routes are carrying only 2% of rides. More people are riding transit for other trip purposes. Trips for errands/shopping has increased from 8% (2016) to 23% (2022). Trips for college/university has increased from 14% (2016) to 17% (2022). Change in When People are Riding Transit Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the busiest, but Saturdays have grown to 73% of the average weekday. Morning and afternoon rush are less peaky and longer with 3pm weekdays being the busiest hour. Fast, Reliable, High Frequency, All-Day Service is Driving Transit Growth Ridership, regionally and nationwide, has been steadily growing since the end of the pandemic. Regional ridership increased by 17% to 45.9 million rides in 2022 and by 16% to 53.3 million rides in 2023. The METRO system, currently five BRT lines and two light rail lines, now represent 46% of all rides. Post- pandemic people are seeking bi-directional, seven days a week, all day, high frequency transit service serving all trip purposes. Year to date, ridership growth on four of the BRT lines is 18.8% over 2023 while overall bus and system ridership growth is 8.9% and 8.5%, respectively. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a trending mode -growing transit mode (317 miles of new BRT lines have opened since 2016). According to a recent American Public Transit Association survey, approximately 75% of BRT lines in the United States have some type of dedicated bus lanes (center or side running). Of the 57 transit projects currently in the federal Capital Investment Grants program, 37 are dedicated bus rapid transit projects. BRT projects with dedicated bus lanes are more expensive than arterial BRT projects because they tend to include a broader range of roadway and pedestrian improvements not included in arterial BRT projects. Integrating transit, roadway and pedestrian improvements into a single project reduces the local tax burden by leveraging federal transit dollars for non-transit elements and consolidates the number of projects disrupting an area with construction. Ћ For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 9/23/2024 Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2 Corridor context is important in selecting BRT type. Arterial BRT lines replace existing high ridership local routes experiencing speed and reliability challenges from operating in congested corridors. Highway BRT lines connect regional centers that are near highways. Dedicated BRT lines connect dense employment and population centers with greater flexibility than light rail. Like light rail, dedicated BRT lines are intended to be transformative for the corridor they are in. Also like light rail, as dedicated BRT design and engineering progresses so does station area planning focused on identifying a community vision for redevelopment and safe access to stations as pedestrians and bicyclists. Purple Line BRT Project Long History of Planning but Not an Outdated Solution In 1992, Ramsey County purchased the former freight rail right-of-way and designated it as a regional recreational trail with potential future use as a light rail transit line. Transit planning for the corridor was initiated 26 years ago (1998) to explore a fixed rail improvement. The initial transit corridor was 80 miles long from downtown St. Paul to Hinckley with a focus on heavy and light rail transit modes. By 2014, the corridor had been shortened to 25 miles between downtown St. Paul and Forest Lake with a focus on light rail and bus rapid transit modes. Only by the spring 2017 was there a policy level recommendation for a dedicated bus rapid transit project between downtown St. Paul and downtown White Bear Lake over a light rail transit project. There has been a strong commitment to community outreach and engagement throughout this long history by both Ramsey County and Metropolitan Council. Funding Transferability The estimated $445 million capital cost for Purple Line is anticipated to be funded by Ramsey County (51%) and through the federal Capital Investment Grants Program (49%). Those funds are not transferable to fund other forms of transit, including arterial BRT and Metro micro. Prioritizing Transit thru a Dedicated Lane The March 22, 2023, letter from Ramsey County to the City of Maplewood clearly stated right-of-way consistent with our All-Abilities Transportation Network which prioritizes pedestrians, bicycles, and transit before automobiles. This dedicated corridor will result in the conversion of one lane in each direction to a dedicated bus lane After the letter was read into the record as part of the March 22, 2023, Maplewood hosted Purple Line Engagement Workshop, Maplewood City Councilmembers expressed excitement and optimism. Environmental Sustainability Through a reduction in automobile vehicle miles traveled (1.5 million annually) and replacement of diesel buses (current local routes) with electric buses (Purple Line), the project would improve human health, safety, energy, and environment in the corridor through less emissions of air quality pollutants. White Bear Avenue Corridor Through a survey administered this summer, over 1,300 respondents indicated a strong preference (over 70%) for Purple Line operating in the White Bear Avenue corridor over being collocated with the Bruce Vento Regional Trail. As the basis for their preference, most respondents mentioned preserving the Bruce Vento Regional Trail, north of Maryland, as it is today or to the greater access to essentials and opportunities in the White Bear Avenue corridor. Ќ For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 9/23/2024 Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2 Purple Line, between Downtown Saint Paul and Maplewoods North End along the White Bear Avenue Corridor, is estimated to serve over 80,000 jobs and 5,600 people/square mile within a half-mile of project stations. The total population within 1-mile of the Purple Line route is just over 75,000. The corridor as compared to Ramsey County as a whole: About 60% of the population is Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, compared to 40% About 20% of the population is below the federal poverty threshold, compared to 13%. About 17% of households do not own a vehicle, compared to 10%. About 13% of the population has a disability, compared to 12%. Driveways nd The August 6, 2024, discussed changes to property access resulting from White Bear Avenue design concepts. There appears to be some confusion that these changes would remove all driveway access to businesses. To clarify, there are 52 business driveways along White Bear Avenue in Maplewood today. Left turns are already prohibited at 19 of those 52 driveways; however, traffic can turn right into those properties and can turn right exiting those properties. The Side-Running Bus Lane Concept would create a similar condition at the remaining 33 of the 52 business properties; the Center Running Bus Lane Concept would create that condition at 30 of the remaining 33 driveways. Again, these conditions reflect only a high level of conceptual engineering (1% level of design); access will be considered further as design progresses. Traffic Traffic analysis conducted for the White Bear Avenue design concepts did indicate some increased delay at intersections during the afternoon peak hour. However, the characterization that there would be ad D is incorrect. The traffic operations analysis for both design concepts indicated typical urban/suburban traffic delays in the afternoon peak hour at all intersections in the Maplewood segment with the exception of the White Bear Avenue/County Road C intersection under the Center Running Bus Lane Concept. Neither concept is expected to result in congested conditions during the remainder of the day. If emergency vehicles encounter congested conditions at any time, they can use the bus lanes, with or without sirens. Arterial Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Lines Arterial BRT lines are part of the , which also includes highway BRT lines and dedicated BRT lines. By 2030, a planned 165-mile bus rapid transit network of 12 lines will offer fast, frequent, all-day service to many communities in the region. BRT ridership stayed strong during the pandemic and is recovering faster than other service types, reflecting a rising demand for all-day, all- purpose service. All forms of BRT provide fast service through off-board fare collection, transit signal priority, and station spacing. In contrast to arterial BRT lines, dedicated BRT lines include other speed enhancing features, such as fewer stations per mile (i.e., stations every ½ mile or greater compared to every ¼ to ½ mile), additional speed and reliability features, such as more bus lanes particularly important during periods of congestion due to special events, traffic incidents, and weather, and speed and convenience enhancing features, such as 10-inch-high platforms for near level boarding with mobility devices (e.g., wheelchairs, walkers, strollers). Ѝ For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 9/23/2024 Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 2 Metro micro After a successful 24-month test program in North Minneapolis, Metro Transit is planning, as part of the Network Now Draft Concept Plan, to pilot 8 additional Metro micro zones (up to two new zones annually through the end of 2027). The North Minneapolis micro zone, which is anticipated to be made permanent in October 2024, is approximately 5 square miles with a 1.25-mile radius and anchored to C and D lines. Each planned Metro micro zone will be anchored to an existing or future METRO line (light rail transit LRT or bus rapid transit BRT) and served by five vehicles at an estimated cost of $1.0 1.5 million annually. The first two new zones to be implemented are in the Roseville and Woodbury areas in late 2024 anchored at Rosedale Transit Center on the A Line and Queens Drive Station on Gold Line, respectively. The Roseville and Woodbury zones are each approximately 12 square miles with a 2.0-mile radius. The zones for the other six areas are not yet defined, including one serving parts of Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi, which would be anchored by Maplewood Mall Transit Center on the Purple Line. During the September 11 Metropolitan Council meeting, there was discussion of the Network Now Concept Plan which includes planned investments across our region in micro transit service. During that discussion, Councilmembers discussed the micro transit project expansion areas included in the draft concept plan and need to prioritize implementation when considering present and future resources. They also reinforced the important role that micro transit will play within our regional transit system, while also recognizing its success is ultimately predicated on the direct connections into and broader expansion of our regional transit network comprised of METRO lines and local bus services. Micro transit is intended to serve as a "last mile" connector service into and from these frequent, all day transit routes that comprise the backbone of a successful regional transit network. It is not being designed as a standalone transit service. Furthermore, the frequent, all-day services are proving to be the most successful parts of our system in the post-pandemic years, with significant opportunities for additional growth in the years ahead as the system expands and provides far more connections across the region. Therefore, if or when implementation plans across the regional transit network change, the Council is likely to simultaneously reevaluate its micro transit priorities and timelines to ensure that every resource is being spent as thoughtfully and as effectively as possible to maximize resident access into frequent, all-day transit services across the Metro Transit network. Autonomous Vehicles MnDOT has participated in three autonomous shuttle vehicle pilots White Bear Lake (Bear Tracks), Rochester (Med City Mover) and Grand Rapids, and a fourth in Eden Prairie is sponsored by SouthWest Transit. In all cases, the pilots are not fully automated because they have a person attending the vehicle at all times. with 6-10 passenger, low speed (10-12 mph) vehicles. These pilots have identified challenges with operating in winter driving conditions and low speeds have frustrated other drivers, prompting some potentially dangerous driving behaviors. Fully autonomous vehicles are not generally anticipated until 2035 at the earliest when programming and infrastructure can better support fully autonomous vehicles. Ў For the permanent record: Meeting Date: 9/23/2024 Agenda Item J3, Additional Attachment 3 September 20, 2024 Dear Maplewood City Council, On behalf of Hmong American Partnership(HAP), we are writing to express our strong support for the advancement of the Purple Line. This public transportation initiative stands to benefit the communities that rely on affordable, reliable transit options. Withdrawing support for the Purple Line would negatively impact residents who depend on public transportation to connect with other parts of the region and access critical resourcessuch as employment, healthcare, and educational opportunities. Public transit is not just a mode of transportation—it is a tool for creating opportunities, fostering community connections, and promoting economic growth. The Purple Line offers the potential to create hundreds of jobs, boost local businesses by increasing foot traffic in commercial areas, and drive long-term economic development across Maplewood. The Purple Line would enhance social equity and inclusion. For many residents, particularly low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, public transportation is a lifeline that provides access to employment, essential services, and community engagement. By supporting the Purple Line, you are supporting greater mobility and opportunity for all residents, regardless of their socioeconomic status. At HAP, we are deeply invested in advocating for initiatives that uplift the communities we serve. The Purple Line represents an important step toward improving the quality of life for the people of Maplewood and the surrounding communities, and its long-term benefits will be felt throughout the region. Public transportation is essential to improving environmental sustainability, and making our cities more livable. These are goals we should all be working toward together. For these reasons, we strongly urge you to continue supporting the Purple Line project. Our communities need this crucial investment in infrastructure, and your leadership is key to ensuring that we build a more connected, inclusive, and prosperous future for all residents.

Even though we are disappointed, the entire College community accepted that the data was not in our favor to have the line directly support us. However, we have long realized that to sustain our institution,we must find a real and viable option to get our students to and from our institution. The Purple Line BRT representeda vital transportation option for our college community anda lifeline for students across the East Metro region. Should Maplewoodreject the remapped route that could service Century, it would significantly impact communities beyond its borders, beyond what we can see in the present, and near term, as it will limit access to higher education and essential services that reliable public transportation provides. At Century College, we are proud to serve a diverse student body, with many individuals commuting from areas outside our immediate vicinity. Approximately21% of our students reside in Saint Paul, and many others travel from zip codes along the Purple Line corridor. Moreover, Century College provides unique programs not offered at Saint Paul College and Minneapolis College, both of which haveaccess to transportation lines provided by those cities. Without this opportunity, we fall short in our vision as leaders that is to create, support and sustainopportunities for a community that welcomes access for students seekingto advance their education and career prospects, as well as mobility to all communities to get to and from work. I invite you to visit our campus to witness firsthand the vibrancy of our learning environment and the diverse community of students dedicated to their education. You will see how access to reliable transportation can empower individuals to achieve their dreams and contribute meaningfully to society. We appreciate your commitment and hope you will consider the long-term implications. Supporting the Purple Line BRT is a step toward ensuring that all students in our region have access to their institution of choice and pursue higher education tobuild a brighter future. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. We look forward to your continued support of the Purple Line BRT project.

Thank you for your support of affordable housing. Your dedication in Maplewood, Gladstone Crossing, demonstratesyour commitment to our shared vision thatall people have a home. We are aware that youarecurrentlydeliberating onthe City of Maplewoods support for the proposedPurple LineBus Rapid Transit(BRT)line project.We understand the complexity of a decisionlike this and would like to make you aware of the impactwe see it having on our future residents. Gladstone Crossing is located close to White Bear Avenue and would be served by thisnew transit line. Of the40 units that will serve families at the site, half will earn less than 50% of the area's median income ($62,100 for a family of four), and half will earn less than 30% of the area'smedian income(under $37,000a year). Our experienceandstudies show that these familieswill be heavily dependenton public transit.Theaccessibilityandease of a BRT line, like the PurpleLine,soclose to their homescould dramatically improve their lives. Beacon is also creating another projectin EastSt. Paul, the Aragon, which will have 53 units of affordablehousingthat also is in the potential impact zone of thePurpleLine.These future residents alsostand to gain from thecreation of thePurple Line. The futurecreation of the Purple Linie was a consideration in our choice of both sites and was an important consideration inthe award of public funding for Gladstone. Itwould help make transit available for families who rely on it for access to employment, goods, and services. Once again, we appreciate your partnership in our shared mission of providing affordable housing. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further information.

Withdrawing your support will put many communities at an economic disadvantage for generations to come and continue to inconvenience our most vulnerable communities and hold back those who are trying to build a better life. According to the Federal Transit Administration, today, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) -growing transit mode with 317 miles of new BRT lines opened since 2016. Additionally, the recent American Public Transit Association surveyed approximately 75% of BRT lines in the United States have some type of dedicated bus lanes with center or side running. If the Maplewood Mayor and City Council withdraws support, we will lose related reinvestment in the communities, leading to the loss of vibrancy in our businesses, homes, and institutions. As Councilmember representing Saint Paul Ward 6 which neighbors Maplewood, I know you all know as much as I do how dire it is that more investments are made onto White Bear Ave to make it safer and accessible for all, especially for pedestrians and individuals with disabilities. If decided later on that the Purple Line will be realigned onto White Bear Ave, this is a grand opportunity for us to hasten the much-needed conversations and improvements onto this important street connecting many well-loved cities together. The share of trips by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) riders has increased from 42% (2016) to 55% (2022) while only 29% of the regional population is BIPOC. The share of trips by riders with 1 or more disabilities has increased from 9% (2016) to 13% (2022). Every day when we delay moving forward with the Purple Line, we as leaders make negative impacts onto our communities. While the Maplewood Mayor and City Council is suggesting other transit options, you would not meet the needs of people the way that the Purple Line would. In turn, the Maplewood Mayor and City Council would be denyingthe best transit opportunities that our college students, people of color, those with lower incomes and those who are disabled need. As a member of the Purple Line Corridor Management Committee and as a staunch advocate for equitable transit options that support the future success of our communities altogether, I urge you to continue supporting and working in collaboration with the community, fellow elected officials, Metro Transit staff, and the Met Council to bring this important transit line to reality.
