RESOLUTION 2018-78 APPROVING THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS BY THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ON BEHALF OF FAIRVIEW HEALTH SERVICES—ADOPTED Finance Director Uram stated Fairview Health Services had requested the City of Minneapolis issue revenue bonds on behalf of Fairview in an amount not to exceed $550,000,000 under the Municipal Industrial Development Act, Minnesota Statutes. He explained that although Minneapolis would issue the bonds, the IRS Code required consent of the City of Edina after a public hearing, as the bond-financed or refinanced facilities were located in Edina. He stated this approval was referred to as host approval and did not obligate the City in any way to pay back these funds. Nathan Canova, Dorsey and Whitney, explained these were Minneapolis Health Care Revenue Bonds, not an obligation of Edina, and was a refinancing transaction with a small new money portion. He stated the refinanced bonds were from 2008 and totaled $550 million for three series of bonds on a tax-exempt basis and required host approval as per Federal tax code. The Council commented on the administrative worl< involved and fees paid to the host city. Mr. Uram explained fees would not be charged because Edina was not issuing the bonds and little staff time had been involved. He clarified that Fairview had paid all fees from Dorsey and Whitney and reiterated that this action resulted in no risl< to the City or impact to its borrowing capacity. Craig Root, Fairview Health Services, shared his excitement about the project that included $100 million in new money and explained funds would be used to provide better space at the University Medical Center and Southdale, which would be a benefit to patients and the City. Mayor Hovland opened the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. Public Testimony No one appeared. Member Fischer made a motion, seconded by Member Brindle, to close the public hearing. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland Motion carried. Member Brindle introduced and moved Resolution No. 2018-78 Approving the Issuance of Revenue Bonds by the City of Minneapolis on Behalf of Fairview Health Services, Under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152 to 469.165. Member Fischer seconded the motion. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland Motion carried. VIII. REPORTS / RECOMMENDATIONS VIII.A. 2018 COMPREHENSIVE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN—ADOPTED Page 3 Minutes/Edina City Council/September S. 2018 Water Resources Coordinator Wilson stated staff was seeking Council adoption of the 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan that defined policies, identified issue areas, prioritized projects, and planned implementation activities around three core services: flood protection, stormwater runoff management, and clean surface water. She explained the Plan was one of three water plans that served as the basis for the Water Resources chapter in the Comprehensive Plan and described at a higher level how water was managed in the City. Ms. Wilson shared the timeline that developed an updated model and policy for water management strategies and how agency approval was sought. She said the Plan demonstrated innovation that addressed flooding and clean water issues throughout the City. Ms. Wilson explained how public comment was received that helped outline changes for flood risk focus in 2019 and clean water strategies for 2020 based on opportunities already in place with Morningside as a priority area. The Council thanked staff for their work, the creation of the online interactive water resources map and asked if there was more that could be done to implement this Plan. Ms. Wilson explained the map provided public transparency and assisted staff with park project planning, for example. She commented on the Plan's incremental approach with capital investment and permits, noting that as different strategies were developed, more would be done. The Council indicated the City needed to be more aggressive in terms of capital improvement changes in addition to policy changes and requested more community comment. The Council noted the City was trying to recognize clean water challenges in areas such as Lake Cornelia and Lake Edina both that have clean water challenges. The Council encouraged creation of healthy subsurface waters and long-term groundwater policies that did not overstress aquifers. Ms. Wilson said staff was working to implement strategies where possible with the hope for more scalable City-wide strategies. The Council commented on strategies that reduced impervious surface on each home rebuild that addressed water storage, containment, and time limits and suggested green roofs as one example. Engineering Services Manager Bintner replied the City followed policies of neighboring water districts and chose to focus on wholesale land use changes, not retail level, to address single-family areas. He agreed procedures were needed to address the issues, even when a new home patio was constructed. The Council discussed how the Morningside neighborhood was identified, the need to engage homeowners through education as residents must support the proposed Council actions because implantation strategies could be expensive and needed to be balanced against cost efficiencies. Member Brindle made a motion,seconded by Member Stewart, to adopt 2018 Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan. Ms. Wilson said public input would be sought but suggested that it would be more valuable to the neighborhood to recognize the experts first and provide for a richer engagement period so the public could weigh the tradeoffs. The Council stressed the importance of the Plan and priorities even though it did not yet identify all the answers. The Council asked about ways to include public input so this became a policy statement through the Planning Commission and other ways. Mr. Bintner noted two key decisions that would help included setting the Capital Improvement Plan for 2019-2023 and the utility rate study. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.B. RACE AND EQUITY IMPLEMENTATION REPORT— RECEIVED Mr. Neal said the Race and Equity Task Force's 21 recommendations were received by the City Council in May 2018 and following that presentation, the recommendations were turned over to the City to conduct staff assessments on each recommendation. He explained staff created a timeline of the work proposed in the Race and Equity Implementation Report, shared the Work Plan Timeline, and thanked the City for the privilege to implement the action steps. Mr. Neal explained the recommendations included major themes, employee training, information gathering, and accountability through periodic reports. Page 4 Minutes/Edina City Council/September 5, 2018 The Council thanked the Race and Equity Task Force for its work and for those who came forward during the discussion. The Council acknowledged that implementation would take years of gradual steps to build a culture among all staff that created a welcoming community to all people but included an implementation commitment now. The Council indicated it could not overstate that the baseline reason for this plan was because people of color shared that they did not feel like they belonged and that realization cannot be ignored. The Council said actions were not intended to diminish anyone else's experiences and commented on language choices for items such as wayfinding signage. The Council suggested researching choices made by Bloomington or through the last Census or surveys. Member Staunton made a motion, seconded by Member Stewart, receiving the September 5, 2018, Racial Equity Implementation Report, accepting staff responses as proposed, and directing staff to move forward with implementation of staff actions. Ayes: Brindle, Fischer, Staunton, Stewart, Hovland Motion carried. VIII.C.
