Resolution 26-01-2471
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE AUTHORITY TO IMPOSE A LOCAL SALES TAX TO
FUND SPECIFIC CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROVIDING REGIONAL BENEFIT,
ESTABLISHING THE DURATION OF THE TAX AND THE REVENUE TO BE RAISED
BY THE TAX, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO ISSUE BONDS SUPPORTED BY THE
SALES TAX REVENUE
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, Section 297A.99 (the “Local Sales Tax Act”),
provides the City of Maplewood (the “City”) with authority to impose a local sales tax if
the State Legislature approves the local sales tax through the creation of a special law
and that tax is approved by the voters at a general election; and
WHEREAS, the Local Sales Tax Act requires the City Council to adopt a
resolution indicating its approval of the tax, outlining the details of the proposed local
sales tax, identifying proposed projects and setting forth the regional significance of the
proposed projects prior to submitting the request for a local sales tax to the State
Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the City has engaged community residents and businesses to
facilitate strategic investment in the region and community and proposes to request
special legislation to impose a local sales tax to raise revenues to fund one or more of

1. EAST METRO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY; and
2. MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY CENTER; and
3. AFTON HEIGHTS PARK; and

City Council Meeting Minutes

WHEREAS, the Projects will result in benefits to both the residents and
businesses of the City and to non-resident visitors and businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Projects cannot be adequately funded with existing resources.
Funding the Projects with a local sales tax will more closely distribute the costs of the
Projects to the users of the facilities; and
WHEREAS, the Projects are estimated to cost approximately $81,000,000, plus
an amount equal to interest on and the costs of issuance of any bonds; and
WHEREAS, the City estimates that a local sales tax of one-half percent (0.5%)
would generate approximately $87,700,000 over 20 years; and
WHEREAS, the City has provided a detailed description and documentation of
the regional significance of each of the Projects, including the share of the economic
benefit to or use of each project by persons residing, or businesses located, outside of
the City, including but not limited to the materials attached hereto as EXHIBIT A; and
WHEREAS, the estimated local sales tax revenue needed for each of the
Projects and the estimated amount of time to raise that amount of revenue is as follows:
1. EAST METRO PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING FACILITY: The City expects to
collect up to $25,000,000 of sales tax revenue, plus the costs of collecting
and administering the tax and interest on and the costs of issuing any
associated bonds, for the East Metro Public Safety Training Facility Project,
over 20 years; and
2. MAPLEWOOD COMMUNITY CENTER: The City expects to collect up to
$48,000,000 of sales tax revenue, plus the costs of collecting and
administering the tax and the costs of issuing any associated bonds, for the
Maplewood Community Center Project, over 20 years; and
3. AFTON HEIGHTS PARK: The City expects to collect up to $8,000,000 of
sales tax revenue, plus the costs of collecting and administering the tax and
the costs of issuing any associated bonds, for the Parks and Park Amenities
in South Maplewood Project, over 20 years; and
WHEREAS, the Local Sales Tax Act authorizes the imposition of a general sales
tax if permitted by special law of the Minnesota Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the Local Sales Tax Act requires the City to pass a resolution
authorizing such a local tax and to obtain Legislative approval prior to approval by the
local voters to enact the local tax.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Maplewood,
Minnesota, as follows:
1. The Council supports the authority to impose a general local sales tax of
one-half of one percent (0.5%) for a period of the lesser of 20 years or the
retirement of all debt (and all related issuance and interest costs) to fund all
or a portion of the Projects.
January 26, 2026

2. Upon approval of this resolution, the City will submit the adopted resolution
and documentation of regional significance by January 31, 2026 to the
chairs and ranking minority members of the Minnesota House and Senate
Taxes committees for approval and passage of a special law authorizing the
tax.
3. Upon legislative approval and passage of the special law authorizing the tax,
the City will adopt a resolution accepting the new law, which will be filed with
a local approval certificate to the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State
before the following Legislative session.
4. The City will put one or more detailed ballot questions, to include a separate
question for each of the authorized Projects, on a general election ballot for
local voter approval within two years of receiving legislative authority.
5. If one or more ballot questions pass, the City will also pass an ordinance
imposing the tax and notify the Minnesota Commissioner of Revenue at
least 90 days before the first day of the calendar quarter that the tax will be
imposed.
6. Upon completion of the aforementioned requirements, the local sales tax will
commence and run for a period of 20 years or until a sum sufficient to fund
the voter-approved Projects, including related debt costs, is raised,
whichever comes first.
7. The Council further finds that it is in the best interest of the health, welfare,
and safety of the City and its residents and it is necessary and expedient to
the sound financial management of the affairs of the City that the acquisition
and betterment of the Projects, or any part thereof, be financed in whole or
in part by the issuance and sale of the City’s general obligation bonds
pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475, as amended, in one or more
series in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $81,000,000 plus an
amount equal to interest and the costs of the issuance of any bonds. The
City may accept an offer to purchase the Bonds, and the City may sell the
Bonds, at a price that results in the receipt of original issue premium in any
amount. The City expects to use proceeds of tax-exempt bonds to reimburse
itself for all or a portion of the costs of the Projects.
8. The City staff and consultants are authorized and directed to take all actions
necessary or convenient to carry out the intent of this resolution.
EXHIBIT A
Description and Documentation of Regional Significance of the Projects
1. East Metro Public Safety Training Facility, 1881 Century Ave N ($25M)
The East Metro Public Safety Training Facility (EMPSTF), owned by the City of
Maplewood, originally and operated through a partnership between the cities
Maplewood, North St. Paul, Oakdale, and Lake Elmo, the EMPSTF has become a
cornerstone of public safety training in the region.
January 26, 2026
City Council Meeting Minutes

Since its opening in 2016, more than 27 agencies across six counties in
Minnesota and western Wisconsin have used the facility. These agencies serve a
combined population of nearly 600,000 residents. Users include fire departments,
law enforcement agencies, EMS teams, county fire academies, and community
college programs.
The proposed expansion will add 55,000 square feet of classroom, simulation,
and wellness space. It will allow police, fire, EMS, and embedded social workers
to train together in real-world scenarios, including de-escalation, co-response to
mental health crises, and coordinated incident command. This level of integrated
training is essential for modern public safety.
This is a regional asset that meets local needs. Maplewood is committed to its
growth and stewardship, and this level of integrated training is essential for
modern public safety and if completed, will serve as a critical training center for
not only the east metro, but departments throughout Minnesota.
2. Maplewood YMCA Community Center, 2100 White Bear Ave N ($48M)
The Maplewood YMCA Community Center (Community Center) is a city-owned
facility and functions as a regional amenity serving residents from across the East
Metro by providing aquatics, fitness, indoor walking, events, and community
spaces that few individual cities can deliver on their own. The Center supports
regional swim teams, Special Olympics, high school swimming and training,
school partnerships, senior wellness, youth development, and large community
gatherings, making it a shared resource relied upon by families, seniors, and
organizations well beyond Maplewood.
This level of sustained, multi-city use reflects the Community Center’s role as
regional infrastructure rather than a neighborhood-only facility. The YMCA’s
operational data reinforces this regional impact. The Community Center supports
more than 200,000 visits annually, logs with over 2,300 senior visits weekly and
provides financial assistance to ensure access regardless of income.
Its event and banquet spaces generate consistent regional demand, hosting
cultural events, and community celebrations that draw participants from
throughout the East Metro. More than 60 percent of the people who use the
Community Center live outside Maplewood. Residents from surrounding cities
including St. Paul, Roseville, White Bear Lake, North St. Paul, Oakdale, Little
Canada, and beyond rely on this regional facility.
Built in the 1990s, the facility now faces aging infrastructure, outdated systems,
and growing maintenance needs. Planned improvements include HVAC
modernization, ADA upgrades, locker room and aquatics enhancements, and
interior renewal of shared-use spaces. Maplewood is working closely with the
YMCA of the North to evaluate long-term service models and preserve access for
all.
3. Afton Heights Park, 63 Sterling St N ($8M)
Afton Heights Park functions as a regional amenity because of its direct proximity
and functional connection to the larger Ramsey County park system, including
Battle Creek Regional Park and the Battle Creek WaterWorks pool and splash
January 26, 2026

pad amenities. Together, these assets form a continuous recreational corridor that
serves residents from Maplewood, Saint Paul, Woodbury, Oakdale, and
surrounding communities. Investment in Afton Heights Park strengthens this
interconnected system by expanding access to open space, trails, and active
recreation opportunities adjacent to one of the East Metro’s most heavily used
regional park destinations. Improvements such as a new multi-purpose facility at
Afton Heights Park would embrace Maplewood’s diverse population and serve as
a hub for programming, events, and a gathering place for the surrounding
community.
Afton Heights supports regional sports and organized recreation. The men’s and
women’s rugby teams, the Saint Paul Jazz Pigs, and the Twin Cities Amazons
use it as their home fields and continue to grow the sport of rugby for youth and
adults in the metro. In addition, athletic associations and multiple middle and high
school baseball teams practice and compete at Afton Heights. These partnerships
reinforce the park’s role as a destination for athletic activity that draw participants
and spectators from beyond city boundaries.
