Background: In 2017, the city purchased and implemented body cameras and interview room camera systems from Axon and enrolled in the Axon Officer Safety Plan - a subscription-based solution providing Tasers, periodic camera upgrades, full warranty and repair coverage, and unlimited Evidence.com storage, along with tools for case data sharing, video redaction, format conversion, transcription assistance, and public evidence upload. In February 2026, the city council approved a 10-year Axon RMS bundle contract, partnering with the St. Paul and Roseville Police Departments to implement a new, fully integrated Records Management System at significantly reduced cost. This agreement consolidated the city's existing Council Packet Page Number 96 of 146 G4 Axon agreements - Officer Safety Plan, Fleet, and interview room systems - into one 10-year bundle, and added Axon Records, the Axon AI Era Leaders plan (AI-assisted report writing, transcription, auto-tagging, and future Axon AI innovations at no added cost), and expanded Fleet vehicle licensing. This payment represents the first of ten annual payments under that contract, covering October 2026 through September 2027.

The city solicited competitive proposals and received three; staff recommend LARC based on their experience, qualifications, and prior work on similar municipal and medium-sized commercial buildings, including roof and gutter work previously completed at the city hall campus. Recommended Action: Motion to approve a contract with Lake Area Roofing and Construction, Inc (LARC) in the amount of $86,911 for built-in gutter and downspout replacement and related roof tie-in work at the Maplewood Community Center (MCC) building, and to authorize the mayor and city manager to execute the agreement. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $86,911 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Focus Area: Maintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Focus Area: Maintain strong financial health and stability Development Focus Area: This contract protects the MCC building envelope from water infiltration and structural damage while maintaining the long-term value of a city-owned asset. Council Packet Page Number 106 of 146 G5 Background: Project Scope The scope of work includes installation of new built-in gutters, downspouts, and roof cap sheet tie- ins at the MCC building, addressing both the gym barrel roof and the west side/entrance canopy areas of the building. Work includes: Built-in galvanized steel gutters over the gym barrel roof, fully soldered for a monolithic gutter, tied into the existing BUR cap sheet roofing with a redundant elastomeric coating at all tie-in points; Three new downspouts on the east side of the building, aligned with existing sewer drains, with the northernmost downspout draining to the parking lot sewer tie-in; Two new conductor heads and downspouts at the overflow scuppers on the west end of the barrel roof, directing water at least five feet away from the building; A new gutter and downspout at the north entrance canopy by the loading dock, extending water flow away from the building. The proposal includes all labor, materials, hoisting, lifts, safety, and insurance. All work will be performed by LARCÓs own employees, with no subcontracting, and LARC will provide a five-year contractor warranty on the completed work. Proposal Process The city solicited proposals for this work and received a couple responses, including one at a lower cost of roughly $16,000, but without a competitive warranty. Given the history of flooding on the MCC gym floor, staff felt having a five-year warranty was critically important. Staff recommend awarding the contract to LARC based on their overall experience and qualifications, the value and warranty terms of their proposal, and their prior work within the City of Maplewood, including roof and gutter work previously completed at the city hall campus. Contractor Experience In addition to the city hall campus roof and gutter work, LARC has completed roofing work on other City of Maplewood buildings, including the police department addition (both flat roofing and metal standing seam roofing). LARC also has significant experience with municipal and medium-sized commercial roofing projects more broadly, including work on Aldi grocery stores throughout the Midwest, The Myth, a park and ride facility, Northern Tool, and McGoughÓs corporate headquarters, among numerous other projects completed over the years. Schedule and Site Considerations LARC is prepared to begin work as outlined once a signed contract is in place. Materials require approximately two weeks of lead time; once received, LARC can begin work immediately. During construction, a portion of the east side of the building will need to be blocked off to provide the contractor access to the work area. Staff will coordinate scheduling and site logistics with LARC and building users once the contract is signed. Attachments: 1.

Assessment Hearing, 7:00 p.m. b. Resolution Adopting Assessment Roll Action Requested: Motion Discussion Public Hearing Form of Action: Resolution Ordinance Contract/Agreement Proclamation Summary: The city uses assessments, in accordance with its Special Assessment Policy and state statutes, to finance a portion of street improvement projects. Special assessments are a charge imposed on properties for a particular improvement that benefits those properties. The assessment hearing is an opportunity for benefiting property owners to address the city council about the proposed assessment. Recommended Action: a. Hold an assessment hearing and receive any objections for the 2026 Maplewood Street Improvements, City Project 25-21. b. Motion to approve the resolution Adopting Assessment Roll for the 2026 Maplewood Street Improvements, City Project 25-21. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $1,867,365 (Total Assessment Amount) Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: The overall project cost is estimated at $11,786,700. Based on the pending assessment roll, the total amount of assessments for the 2026 Maplewood Street Improvements is $1,867,365. Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Maintain and enhance infrastructure and environmental systems Sustainability Maintain strong financial health and stability Development These street and utility improvements continue the city’s investment in improving the condition of the municipal infrastructure throughout the city. Council Packet Page Number 113 of 146 H1 Background: Special assessments are one source of funding for the city’s infrastructure projects. The assessment hearing gives property owners an opportunity to speak to the city council regarding the pending assessment of their property. The project area includes 371 assessable residential and commercial properties. The city hired an independent appraisal firm to provide an opinion of special benefit received by properties within the project area. The appraisal report confirmed that the proposed assessments in the attached pending assessment roll exhibit are reasonable and that these properties benefit from the project in an amount that is at least as much as the proposed assessment. After receiving the appraisal results, the city mailed each property owner notice of their proposed assessment amount. An informational meeting was then held on September 16, 2026, to answer property owners' questions about the assessments and the process. As of September 18, 2026, staff have received no objections to the proposed assessments. Written objections will be received before, or in person during the assessment hearing on September 28, 2026. Once the assessment hearing is closed, no further objections will be considered, and staff will proceed with a recommendation to council on objections received. Budget Information The contract was awarded to Park Construction Company by the city council on May 11, 2026. The total construction contract cost is $10,178,819.95. See the table below for the project funding plan, including allowances for indirect costs and contingencies. Funding SourceTotal Amount General Obligation (G.O.) Improvement Bonds $4,897,085 Street Revitalization Fund $1,364,250 Environmental Utility Fund $2,292,000 Sanitary Sewer Fund $463,100 Water Area Fund $152,400 St. Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) $671,300 Special Benefit Assessments (Preliminary Roll) $1,946,565 Total Project Funding: $11,786,700 The assessment amounts shown 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 is $1,867,365. This amount is $79,200 lower than the preliminary amount of $1,946,565. The change in amounts is attributed mainly to a reduction of assessment amounts for some commercial and church properties within the project area, as recommended by the appraisal report. It is anticipated that this reduction in assessment funding will be covered by the project’s 10% contingencies, which is already built into the funding plan above. The finance director has reviewed the project costs and current funding plan. A final budget adjustment will be made based on final construction costs after construction is completed. No budget adjustment is currently recommended. Council Packet Page Number 114 of 146 H1 Project Schedule The following is the schedule for City Project 25-21.

Based on the feedback received at this meeting staff has included a revised ordinance with this report. This topic originally came up at the August 10, 2026, city council meeting, with members of a homeowner’s association attending and raising concerns about the existing ordinance limitations. Recommended Action: Motion to approve an ordinance amending Chapter 10 to regulate the number of dogs and cats per dwelling unit. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact?NoYes, the true or estimated cost is $0.00 Financing source(s):Adopted BudgetBudget ModificationNew Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: Safety Strengthen regulations and code compliance Sustainability Development Adoption of this ordinance amendment aligns the city’s cat and dog regulations with those of comparable metro-area cities and supports clear and consistent code enforcement. Background: Maplewood’s ordinance currently limits the number of dogs and cats per dwelling based on the zoning and the age of the animal. There are no federal or state regulations that address these types of limitations. Council Packet Page Number 137 of 146 I1 R-1, single-family zoning – no more than three dogs over six months of age and two cats over three months of age per dwelling unit. R-2, double-dwelling zoning – no more than two dogs over six months of age and two cats over three months of age per dwelling unit. R-3, multiple-family zoning – no more than one dog over six months of age and one cat of any age per dwelling unit. At the September 14, 2026, city council meeting, staff presented a proposed amended ordinance developed after researching animal ordinances in neighboring metro cities to determine best practices in this area. During its review, the city council did not feel comfortable moving forward with the amendments as proposed. Using the feedback gathered at the last city council meeting, staff has revised the proposed amendments to the ordinance that regulates the number of dogs and cats kept in a residential dwelling unit. The attached ordinance amends Chapter 10, Animals. In these revisions, dwelling units will have the following regulations: R-1, single-family zoning – no more than three dogs over six months of age and three cats over six months of age per dwelling unit. R-2, double-dwelling zoning – no more than two dogs over six months of age and two cats over six months of age per dwelling unit. R-3, multiple-family zoning – no more than two dogs over six months of age and two cats over six months of age per dwelling unit. The amendment also updates the definitions of “dog” and “cat” in Sections 10-61 and 10-246 to reference the species Canis familiaris and Felis catus, respectively, in place of the current, more general definitions, providing greater legal precision for enforcement purposes. Staff recommends this amendment to increase consistency between the city’s dog and cat regulations, align the age threshold for cats with the existing threshold for dogs, and provide additional flexibility for residents in multiple-family zones by raising the R-3 limit to match the R-2 limit. The city’s tiered, zoning-based approach to animal limits is preserved. The amendment also allows homeowners’ associations and property managers to set limits below the city’s maximum if they choose.

These restrictions are more stringent than those in neighboring cities and have on occasion in our neighborhood resulted in the loss of a home sale as we are zoned R-3. Maple Hills consists of 100 townhome units across 12 buildings off Parkway Drive near Larpenteur Avenue and Highway 61. After reviewing ordinances from cities across the area, a clear regional pattern emerges: most cities allow three dogs or cats in any housing type, without differentiating between single-family, duplex, or multiunit residences. Examples include: 3 domestic pets (Vadnais Heights limits to 2 dogs) 3 dogs and/or cats 3 dogs, 3 cats, or 2 dogs and 2 cats 3 dogs and 3 cats 3 dogs and 4 cats 2 dogs and 4 cats No numerical limit; instead uses a nuisance standard 2 dogs, with the ability to have 3 or 4 with 75% neighbor consent; no cat limit 2 dogs and no cat limit, and currently reviewing its ordinance to modernize it particularly in its stricter limits on multiunit residences and its lower overall allowances : Council Packet Page Number 141 of 146 I1, Attachment 2 -neutral structure We would like the City to please consider adopting more flexible, modernized ordinances. I have attached updated examples of the dog and cat ordinances for submission, rewritten for simplification and alignment with other local communities. to support a welcoming and equitable community for all residents, including those with pets.
