Staff in attendance: Scott Neal, City Manager; Ari Lenz, Assistant City Manager; Zoe Johnson, City Management Fellow; MJ Lamon, Special Projects & Engagement Manager; Jennifer Bennerotte, Communications Director; Perry Vetter, Parks & Recreation Director; Nate Morrison, Maintenance Supervisor; Police Chief Todd Milburn; Lieutenant Ryan Schultz; Katie Bisek, I.T. Specialist; City Attorney Dave Kendall and Sharon Allison, City Clerk. 3.1 IMMIGRATION RESPONSE Manager Neal introduced the topic, explaining that the report was developed by the City Manager’s Immigration Response Task Force. He stated the Task Force considered legal parameters, community values, practical limitations, and potential creative solutions, which resulted in a draft ordinance and resolution for Council consideration. Special Projects & Engagement Manager Lamon said several items were identified as rising to the level of Council action. Regarding regulatory signage in City parks, facilities, and other public places, the Task Force reviewed examples from other communities where signage was installed to deter federal agents from using public property for enforcement-related activities. Staff noted such signage would be largely symbolic, as the City’s authority to enforce compliance is limited or nonexistent. After reviewing other cities’ experiences, staff concluded the signs are difficult to enforce, may create a false sense of security, and could undermine public trust. In addition, there is no data indicating federal agents are present on City property. For these reasons, the City Manager and Task Force did not recommend installation, though staff would implement Council direction. Council discussion centered on whether signage would help residents feel heard and safe, the risk of implying the City could take action it legally cannot, and whether encouraging residents to call 911 would be appropriate. Council also discussed the Police Department’s role and limitations in federal immigration enforcement, experiences in other communities, and alternative communication methods that would demonstrate support without creating unrealistic expectations. The Council also discussed issuing a clear statement that ICE is not welcome in the City of Edina and/or adopting a Welcoming Resolution. The Task Force referred this item directly to Council due to its legal and financial complexities. Staff advised that, depending on wording, a resolution could risk the City being labeled a sanctuary city, potentially jeopardizing federal funding. It was noted the City has received approximately $692,000 in ARPA funds and may Page 6 of 310 Page 2 receive an additional $600,000 in federal funding that could be impacted. Council discussed whether a resolution would be a more effective statement than signage. Some expressed concern about constitutional rights and were willing to accept potential funding risks, while others cautioned that even modified language could still result in the City being characterized as a sanctuary city. It was also noted that the City has already joined an amicus brief related to reducing ICE activity and that it is well known the City does not participate in federal immigration enforcement. One Council member declined to support the proposed resolution and encouraged language that would be broadly comfortable, including discouraging enforcement activity around sensitive locations such as churches, hospitals, and schools. On the topic of an Eviction Moratorium, staff reported that following legal review, the Task Force eliminated the option because the City lacks authority to impose a local moratorium; such action must occur at the state level. The Task Force instead focused on rental assistance as a more viable approach. It was noted that Roseville sent a letter to the Governor urging consideration of a statewide moratorium, and Richfield considered but did not take action. Staff explained that Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) funds have already been contracted and no additional funding is currently available, though future allocations or other state funding sources may be explored. The City is also working directly with VEAP. During discussion, it was noted that property managers are still recovering from impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and that a moratorium carries risks and may not be effective. Council expressed support for pursuing rental assistance efforts and agreed to authorize a letter similar to Roseville’s focused on rental assistance rather than a moratorium. Regarding FLOCK cameras, the Task Force evaluated affirming publicly that the Flock system is not used for immigration enforcement and ensuring ICE does not gain access to the data. The City Attorney reviewed the City’s contract and confirmed that the City owns the data and that Flock cannot legally share it with other agencies. Staff reported that the City has never shared Flock data externally; access is limited to City staff, usage is restricted to criminal investigations, and access is tracked and audited. Internal audits have been conducted to verify security settings, and the system was intentionally configured to restrict access to Edina only. The Police Chief stated audits will continue. It was also noted that federal agencies maintain their own databases and do not rely on local systems. The Task Force and staff did not recommend pausing use of the system and instead are developing additional communication strategies to provide clarity to the public. Richfield also reviewed this issue and did not take action to pause its program. 3.2 DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY UPDATE Due to time constraints, Council did not get to the Digital Accessibility Update. 4.0 ADJOURNMENT Mayor Hovland adjourned the meeting at 7:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Allison, City Clerk Page 7 of 310 Page 2 James B.

Arthur Cobb expressed his appreciation of the City Council and the City staff, and all the work they have done over the years. Taylor Bruhschwein stated that safety on the city streets is very important, and the number of crashes involving vulnerable users, walking/biking, has doubled over the past 3 years. Mr. Bruhschwein asked the Council to find money for the PACS fund to protect these vulnerable users. Brooke Bartholomew stated that she is looking for more action and visible resistance against ICE and asked that the Council ban ICE from staging on City property and consider an eviction moratorium. Janet Kitui noted that she and others demand clarity, courage, and collective action during this time. Mrs. Kitui stated that the black community in Minnesota is under attack and asked for the banning of ICE from staging on City property and writing to the governor to consider an eviction moratorium. Anna Leamy started discussing the firearm ordinance being discussed later in the meeting. The Council noted that, based on their rules, she is not allowed to discuss a matter that is handled later in the agenda. Page 9 of 310 Page 2 Steve Brown stated that he and his wife have been helping a friend who was delivering food to families and individuals who are sheltering in place, and he cannot believe that they are living in a time like this. Brett Johnson noted that he and his business partner will be opening up a family-friendly sports bar at 50th and France and have partnered up with the Edina ED Fund and Boosters. David Frenkel asked for updates on the two pedestrian bridges and when they will be completed. Kathy Rendleman thanked the community for their involvement and support of the Edina Education Fund fundraiser. Mrs. Rendleman noted that they could use the help and financial support to support the Hornet Cares fund to help all of their students and staff members who are being affected by the recent happenings in Minnesota. 5.1.

ORDINANCE 2026-02, AMENDING SECTION 4-9-9; REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 6 ARTICLE III LAWFUL GAMBLING OF THE EDINA CITY CODE – FIRST READING GRANTED City Clerk Allison discussed the answers to the questions raised at the last City Council meeting and restated the staff recommendation to repeal and replace the Lawful Gambling Ordinance and allow 3 premise permits to pilot this process and understand how it would work. The Council asked questions regarding qualifying non-profits, how many 501(c)(3) exist in Edina, where the profit goes, expenses for the City to manage this, and the values assessment. Mrs. Allison noted that the 3% gambling tax will be used to cover the cost, plus the 10% that is locked in per State Statute. The Council expressed concerns that the ordinance in front of them does not guarantee that the nonprofits that will be benefiting from this will be related to students, mental health, or hockey. City Attorney Kendall noted that the State allows 501(c)(3) organizations to apply to be lawfully gambling entities if they meet the requirements. Mr. Kendall noted that the Council could make it so that an organization cannot have more than 1 premise permit. The Council discussed what problem they are trying to solve with this ordinance, and noted that other communities have used this model to help solve their problems; noted that this could bring another source of funds for the needs that exist in this community; and gave feedback to do more research and groundwork on this idea, and put a cap of up to 6 premise permits and only one permit per location. Member Jackson made a motion to Grant First Reading to Ordinance 2026-02, amending Section 4-9-9; Repealing and Replacing Chapter 6, Article III Lawful Gambling of the Edina City Code.

Pursuant to a Project Agreement dated January 17, 2018 ("Agreement"), the District and the City are construc�ng the Arden Park Improvement Project ("Project") to restore the Minnehaha Creek channel and its riparian corridor for water quality and ecologic purposes; improve and construct park recrea�onal elements including paths, bridges, overlooks and canoe landings; establish na�ve vegeta�on; and install regional stormwater management facili�es. Page 174 of 310 2 C. As paragraph 9 of the Agreement provides, the par�es have developed a maintenance plan for the stormwater management facili�es and the areas of na�ve vegeta�on, as well as other Project elements. The maintenance plan is �tled, Arden Park Restora�on Project Opera�ons and Maintenance Plan, and dated August 2018 (the "Plan"). D. Paragraph 26 of the Agreement states that the par�es will record mutual covenants, under which the City will maintain the Paths, Trails & Vegeta�on improvements and the Stormwater Management improvements; and the District will maintain the Creek Restora�on improvements, in accordance with the maintenance plan. It further states that the covenants will establish reasonable arrangements for the District to occupy the Park in order to perform the maintenance work that is under its authority. E. The par�es intend by these Covenants to fulfill the terms of paragraph 26 of the Agreement. These Covenants are for mutual valuable considera�on and legally binding, and will remain effec�ve for the period of �me stated in paragraph 10 of these Covenants, below. Terms 1. Atachment A to these Covenants is a site plan that iden�fies and delineates Project elements. A party will not damage or disturb a Project element, except to maintain, repair, reconstruct or replace it pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan. This prohibi�on applies to each party and to anyone opera�ng under its authority or permission. A party will promptly repair or restore any Project element that it disturbs or damages. 2. The City will maintain the Stormwater Management improvements, and the areas of na�ve vegeta�on for which responsibility is assigned to it, as indicated in Atachment A, in accordance with the Plan. The District will maintain areas of na�ve vegeta�on for which responsibility is assigned to it, as indicated in Atachment A, in accordance with the Plan. All other Project element maintenance will be within the judgment of the party to whom the Plan assigns authority for that Project element. Any such maintenance will be performed consistent with the Plan. 3. The District may park vehicles on parking surface within the Park, may enter and cross the Park, and may occupy it for the purpose of performing an ac�vity authorized by these Covenants. Before opera�ng a motor vehicle on a non-paved surface, entering the Park with self-propelled motorized equipment, or occupying the Park overnight, the District will provide 10 days' writen no�ce to the City, and the par�es will coordinate to designate ingress/egress and staging area appropriate and convenient for the work to be performed. If the District determines that an emergency exists, it need not provide 10 days' no�ce, but will provide no�ce as soon as prac�cable and will exercise reasonable care to minimize disturbance. The District will promptly repair or restore any injury or disturbance to the Park from its ac�vity. 4. The par�es may amend the Plan by a document that explicitly cites the Plan, states the intent to amend it, and contains the authorized signatures of the par�es on each page. On adop�on of an amendment, any reference in these Covenants to the Plan shall mean the Plan as amended. The Plan, as it may be amended, will not be interpreted so as to be in conflict with any term of these Covenants. Page 175 of 310 3 5. Each party agrees to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the other party from and against that por�on of any and all liability, loss, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable atorney fees, costs and disbursements) that the indemnified party may incur as a result of the indemnifying party's ac�vity under these Covenants due to any negligent act or omission of the indemnifying party or any other act or omission that subjects it to liability in law or equity. Notwithstanding, Minnesota Statutes chapter 466 and other applicable law govern liability of the par�es. These Covenants create no right in and waive no immunity, defense or liability limit with respect to any third party or the other party to these Covenants. 6. These Covenants are not a joint powers agreement under Minnesota Statutes §471.59 and nothing herein cons�tutes either party's agreement to be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other party pursuant to subdivision 1(a) of that statute. Each party is responsible for its own employees for any claims arising under the Workers Compensa�on Act. 7. Each communica�on provided for under these Covenants will be made to the following representa�ves: Administrator, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District 15320 Minnetonka Boulevard Minnetonka MN 55345 Re: Arden Park Project, Edina Manager, City of Edina 4801 W 50th Street Edina MN 55424 Contact informa�on will be kept current. A party may change its contact by writen no�ce to the other party. 8. An amendment to these Covenants must be in wri�ng and executed by the par�es. A party's failure to enforce a provision of these Covenants does not waive the provision or that party's right to enforce it subsequently. All above Recitals are incorporated into these Covenants. 9. A party will not be in breach of these Covenants for injury or altera�on to the Project elements or the Park resul�ng from: (a) a cause beyond the reasonable control of that party, including without limita�on fire, flood, a precipita�on event with a sta�s�cal recurrence interval of 100 years or more, storm, and earth movement resul�ng from natural forces or the act of a third party; or (b) any prudent ac�on taken by the party under emergency condi�ons to prevent, abate or mi�gate significant injury or altera�on resul�ng from such a cause. 10. These Covenants are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. The par�es may amend these Covenants only by a duly executed wri�ng.

In Spring of 2025, Edina Public School District (EPSD) applied for a permit from the City of Edina and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) for a tennis court project. At that time, staff from each organization discussed shared goals and an opportunity to save significant public resources by aligning our goals. EPSD requested and secured a variance from MCWD to explore this idea. This agreement is the result of that effort. The agreement spells out terms for allowing the City to design and build Concord Flood Infrastructure Project on EPSD property. Both the companion agenda item, and the attached memo to Mert Woodard CFO/Director, Finance & Operations at ESPD, explain the proposed Concord Flood Infrastructure Project. The companion agenda item also details alignment with Edina policies and plans, and financial impacts. Resources/Financial Impacts: No fiscal or capacity impact. Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: The project is part of the activities of the stormwater utility, is described in the latest CIP as item number ENG23010, and the need it addresses, and initial concepts are described in the 2022 Water Resource Management Plan, Appendix A as item D5, item 10.3.1.2. Strong Foundation Livable City Better Together Values Impact: Engagement This is the second flood infrastructure project resulting from the flood risk reduction task force and flood risk reduction strategy 2022 water resource plan amendment.

Memo to Edina Public Schools (Board Portal) Page 182 of 310 AGREEMENT to CONSTRUCT and MAINTAIN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITY Edina Public School District, City of Edina and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District MCWD Permit No. 25-106 Recitals A. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §103D.341, has adopted and maintains rules to protect water resources from land use and development impact. B. The Edina Public School District (EPSD) has applied to MCWD for a permit (Permit No. 25-106) to remove and replace tennis courts and concrete walkways, with associated site grading and u�li�es installa�on (the "Project"), on its property located at 5701 Normandale Road, Edina (the "Property"). C. MCWD rules require, as a condi�on of the permit, that EPSD install and maintain, indefinitely, facili�es to manage stormwater generated from new and reconstructed hard surface associated with the Project. D. The City of Edina ("City"), pursuant to its Water Resources Management Plan, Appendix A (December 2022), has iden�fied the poten�al to create 10 to 19 acre-� of regional stormwater volume storage on the Property upgradient of the City's main trunk storm sewer along West 58th Street, which outlets into Minnehaha Creek (the "Facility"). The Facility catchment would encompass approximately 100 acres of developed land within the City, including the Project hard surface footprint. E. MCWD rules require that stormwater be treated by infiltra�on or another volume reduc�on method, if infiltra�on is feasible at the site of the permited work. MCWD has determined that infiltra�on is not feasible at the EPSD Project site, and that stormwater filtra�on is an acceptable prac�ce. Permit No. 25- 106 requires that EPSD supply a stormwater infiltra�on water quality volume of at least 8,385 cubic feet or, for a prac�ce other than infiltra�on, a volume that provides for an equivalent annual Total Phosphorus (TP) removal of 0.59 pounds/yr. F. While the City has not yet determined the water quality treatment design for the Facility, it is included in the City's 2025-2030 capital improvement program. The City has budgeted $10 million for the Facility, and has programmed feasibility work for 2026 and construc�on for 2028. G. EPSD and the City propose that EPSD use the Facility to meet its requirements under Permit No. 25- 106. However, the EPSD plans to begin Project construc�on in Summer 2025, and the MCWD stormwater management rule, at paragraph 10.a, requires that facili�es required to treat constructed hard surface must be func�onal within 24 months of the start of construc�on of the regulated surface. The MCWD Board of Managers, under the MCWD variances and excep�ons rule, has approved an excep�on to this requirement on the finding that the Facility, over �me, will provide water quality volume treatment of a wider area of developed land, and be subject to City maintenance by agreement with MCWD. To account for the delay in stormwater water quality treatment associated with approval of this excep�on, this agreement requires the Facility to be designed to remove at least 0.83 pounds/yr of TP. A condi�on of approval is this agreement among EPSD, the City, and MCWD. Page 183 of 310 Accordingly, the par�es, intending to be legally bound, agree to the following terms for construc�on and maintenance of the Facility. EPSD and the City, separately, have exchanged valuable considera�on to support the obliga�ons of each as set forth herein. Terms 1. The City will contract for feasibility review by March 31, 2026 and the City's consultant will submit the feasibility report by December 31, 2026. On submital, the City will transmit a copy to EPSD and MCWD. If the City Council finds that the Facility is feasible, the City will retain a design consultant and advance the design. In doing so, the City will inform ESPD and MCWD of the progress of design. 2. Within 30 days of its receipt of the City’s feasibility study for the Facility, EPSD, in wri�ng to the City and MCWD, may elect to iden�fy and design one or more stormwater management prac�ces that meet water quality volume and rate control standards under Permit No. 25-106, and as outlined in Term 8 of the Agreement. In this case, EPSD must provide MCWD such design materials as MCWD reasonably may request, and must obtain MCWD concurrence that the proposed prac�ces will achieve at least 0.83 lb/year of total phosphorus load reduc�on, and otherwise meet rate control and flood separa�on standards of the MCWD stormwater management rule. 3. EPSD agrees that the City may occupy the Property as necessary or convenient to construct and maintain the Facility. EPSD and the City may enter into an easement or other agreement to give more detail to this rela�onship. The City will issue a no�ce to proceed for Facility construc�on tenta�vely planned for the 2028 construc�on year. The Facility will be constructed and func�onal by January 1, 2030. 4. If the City constructs the Facility on the Property, the City shall, at its sole cost and promptly following comple�on of construc�on ac�vi�es, restore and reconstruct all por�ons of the Property disturbed, damaged, or removed in connec�on with the Facility to a condi�on at least equal to, and in no event materially worse than, the condi�on exis�ng immediately prior to commencement of construc�on, as determined by EPSD in its reasonable discre�on. Restora�on shall include all grading, paving, turf, landscaping, hardscape, u�li�es, and other site improvements affected by the construc�on. The City’s restora�on obliga�ons shall survive comple�on of the Facility and any termina�on or expira�on of this Agreement. 5. On the City consultant's cer�fica�on of comple�on, the consultant will provide as-built plans to EPSD and MCWD and affirm that the Facility as constructed conforms to plans, provides an annual total phosphorus load reduc�on of at least 0.83 lbs/year, and allows for rate control and flood separa�on standards of the MCWD stormwater management rule to be met under Permit 25-106. MCWD, on the basis of its engineer's advice, will provide its writen concurrence that the Facility fulfills the City's construc�on obliga�on under this agreement. 6. The City will maintain the Facility in accordance with the terms of its NPDES MS4 permit, as well as the following standard MCWD maintenance terms, as applicable: Page 184 of 310 a. Raingardens, infiltra�on basins and filtra�on basins. Raingardens, infiltra�on basins and filtra�on basins will be inspected annually to ensure con�nued live storage capacity at or above the design volume. Invasive vegeta�on, excess sediment and debris will be removed as needed and healthy plant growth will be maintained to ensure that the facili�es con�nue to perform per design. b. Underground storage facili�es. Underground storage facili�es will be inspected at least annually to ensure con�nuing performance per design. Capacity will be considered inadequate if sediment has decreased the storage volume by 50 percent of the original design volume. Accumulated debris and sediment will be removed, and inlet and outlet structures will be kept clear of any flow impediments. c. Grit chambers, sump catch basins and sump manholes. Grit chambers, sump catch basins and sump manholes will be inspected in the spring, summer and fall of each year. All sediment and debris will be removed as needed such that the stormwater facili�es operate as designed and permited. d. Repor�ng. The Declarant will submit to the MCWD annually a brief writen report that describes stormwater facility maintenance ac�vi�es performed under this declara�on, including dates, loca�ons of inspec�ons and the maintenance ac�vi�es performed. If the Facility is of an atypical design that, in MCWD's judgment, requires other maintenance terms, the par�es will execute an amendment to this agreement to incorporate those terms. EPSD will not take any ac�on that would render the City unable to fulfill its maintenance obliga�ons. 7. Un�l MCWD has provided its concurrence under paragraph 3, EPSD will take no ac�on that would impede its ability to site, within the area delineated on Atachment A hereto, incorporated herein, a Project-specific stormwater management prac�ce mee�ng the requirements of paragraph 6. 8. If the City determines under paragraph 1 that the Facility is not feasible, or if the ESPD elects to construct the stormwater prac�ces under paragraph 2, EPSD will proceed, diligently and in consulta�on with MCWD and the City, to iden�fy and design one or more stormwater management prac�ces that meet water quality volume and rate control standards under Permit No. 25-106. The prac�ces may be sited in the area referenced on Atachment A, or may be sited elsewhere, provided they capture the runoff from the new and reconstructed hard surface under the permit and otherwise conform to sec�on 8 of the MCWD stormwater management rule, as it may be amended. The prac�ces will be constructed and func�onal by January 1, 2030. Therea�er, EPSD will maintain the prac�ces in accordance with the terms of paragraph 4, above. 9. If the City has determined under paragraph 1 that the Facility is feasible, MCWD finds that the Facility will not be constructed and func�onal by January 1, 2030, and that determina�on is not unreasonable, the City will proceed to construct Project-specific prac�ces and they will be func�onal by June 30, 2031. If and when MCWD has concurred that the Facility is constructed and func�onal, the City may decommission the Project-specific prac�ces. The City will maintain the prac�ces un�l decommissioned, in accordance with maintenance terms specified by MCWD. Such terms will accord with MCWD's standard maintenance terms for the type of prac�ces. Page 185 of 310 10. EPSD may perform any obliga�ons of the City under paragraph 7, pursuant to such terms as those two par�es may agree. The City will remain responsible to MCWD to fulfill the obliga�ons. 11. If the annual TP reduc�on of the Facility exceeds 0.83 pounds, the City may use the excess reduc�on for compliance with MCWD and other permit requirements as follows: a. MCWD will recognize that part of excess capacity that provides treatment for exis�ng hard surface under any permit to redevelop that exis�ng hard surface. b. The City may use the remaining capacity for development within the Facility catchment. (SIGNATURE PAGE FOLLOWS) Page 186 of 310 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the par�es hereto have executed this Agreement.

Flood issues near Middle School Flood issues in the City of Edina can be explored with two interactive maps on the Flood Resources webpage. A first ring suburb built primary between 1950-65, Edina was built for a different service level and climate. Flooding in Edina is not only common it is also increasing. Southview Middle School site has a low area on the east central part of the lot, currently occupied by a baseball field, open space, parking lot, tennis court, and track and field space. These low areas and facilities are exposure to flood waters on a regular basis. The neighborhood to the east of this low area shares this flood exposure in more extreme storm events. The Image above is from the “What’s My Flood Risk” interactive map Edina FRRS Context The City of Edina’s strategy is to comprehensively reduce the risk of flooding throughout the community. Details of the plan can be found in the 2022 Water Resources Management Plan, sections (1.2, 3.3) One of the four sectors of work is flood infrastructure, (3.3.3) We renew our infrastructure and operate it to reduce risk. We will plan public streets and parks to accept and convey flood waters to reduce the risk and disruption of related city services. Two recent examples of this flood infrastructure work include Lynmar Basin and Morningside Flood Infrastructure Project. We do this work in partnership with local Watershed Districts. The Concord Flood Infrastructure Project is the next major flood infrastructure proposed under this area of work.

Several key points describing the issue are presented here; • The intersection of Concord Avenue and West 58th Street and the surrounding area has long experienced flooding problems. A storm sewer system drains this low-lying area; however, when stormwater flows exceed the system’s capacity (3.5 inches over 24 hours), water pools along the roadway and in adjacent yards until it rises enough to flow eastward along West 58th Street toward Wooddale Avenue. This type of storm has a 20 percent chance of occurring in a given year (also known as a 5-year storm or 20-percentannual-chance storm). • The flooding problem in this area results from the limited conveyance capacity of the downstream storm sewer system. • A 100-year storm has the potential to impact 33 principal structures along Golf Terrace, Lakeview Drive, Oak Drive, West 56th Street, Tower Street, and Woodland Road W. The options we are pursuing are described in the “modeling results” and “proposed infrastructure options to reduce flood risk” sections of section A.10.3.1.2. Several key points describing the option on the School District property, relating each to our current approach, are presented here: • Option 2: Increase Trunkline Capacity Along West 58th Street. This initial study considered gravity pipeline addition. We will consider pumped, force main capacity. • Option 3: Add Underground Storage in South View Park. (see note option 4) • Option 4: Add Surface Storage in South View Park. The initial study reviewed underground and surface storage separately. We will review combined approaches with both underground and surface storage with the goal to get efficiency from the surface storage while reducing the tradeoffs related to retaining and improving all the field use functions the current site provides. • Option 5: Increase Trunkline Capacity Along West 58th Street and Add Underground Storage in South View Park. This is a combination of options 2 and 3, we will rework options 2-4 as described above to create a new combined option that gets the most flood and community amenity uses out of the space. The sketch on the right was created to conceptualize the options in the field area. An attachment is provided to review in greater detail and facilitate discussion. Page 190 of 310 Page 3 City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424 Next Steps and Discussion The City of Edina has included the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project in its Capital Improvement Plan. The work to plan, design, and construct the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project is currently planned to take place between 2026 and 2028. Here are steps describing how the City and School District could partner in this work as well as context on how the city has conducted flood infrastructure work to date. • 2025 Agreement o The agreement includes cost savings to the School District for the construction costs of the tennis court stormwater facility. District and City should work through opportunities, interest, and concerns to build project requirements for the next phases of the work. Key interests expressed by School District staff include; 1) Reduce field downtime, 2) Reduce school access interruptions, 3) Rebuild field amenities to like-or-better condition. 4)Reduce typical drainage and flooding issues in field and turf areas, 5) Reduce and mitigate, or rebuild any infrastructure damaged by access for construction, and 6) Consider environmental or infrastructure educational opportunities with new facility. Additional requirements or process steps may be included at this time. • 2026 Planning o The City would lead the planning and engage the District at key decision points, checking in on the status of the balance between project goals, the requirements, and available resources. This step of the project typically includes engagement of the public based on an engagement plan approved by the City Council. As this site is School District controlled, public engagement would likely be limited to construction impacts, project benefits and tradeoffs, and general awareness. The School District could request specific engagement based on the users of the fields, or other known community relationships or interest in the field to be included in the project requirements. • 2027 Design o The City would lead the design and engage the District on any remaining decision points. Most of the decisions will be made in the concept and planning phase, but minor changes can occur in final design. The agreement and typical permitting process for a project of this scope includes an approval step by the School District as the property owner. • 2028-9 Build and Restore o Construction would follow and could be phased in a variety of ways to best balance tradeoffs of varying requirements. Construction would likely impact 2 field seasons with restoration of turf to be play-ready usually takes a year to grow-in. • Future Maintenance o Inspection, operation and maintenance of the facility would be City responsibility, with access provided by the School District.

Scope of Services from Barr for Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility Study (Board Portal) Page 194 of 310 barr.com 4300 MarketPointe Drive, Suite 200, Minneapolis, MN 55435 | 952.832.2600 January 30, 2026 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner City of Edina Engineering Department 7450 Metro Boulevard Edina, MN 55439 Re: Proposed Scope of Services for the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project Feasibility Study Dear Mr. Bintner, Ms. Wilson, and Mr. Millner: On behalf of Barr Engineering Co. (Barr), we thank you for the opportunity to continue assisting the city of Edina (City) with the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project Feasibility Study. This letter presents our proposed scope of services and associated cost estimate related to the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project Feasibility Study, including the preliminary design of aboveground components within Edina Public School District (EPSD) property. The following scope of work is informed by our discussions with City staff in December 2025, data supplied by the City, and insights from our prior study on flood risk reduction options for the Concord and 58th Street area, as detailed in Appendix A, Section 10.3.1.2 of the 2022 Water Resources Management Plan (WRMP). Background The Concord and East Golf Terrace neighborhoods are fully developed areas predominantly composed of single-family residences constructed between 1910 and 1960. Subsequent infill development has occurred, and ongoing redevelopment is currently resulting in the replacement of many of the original homes. The intersection of Concord Avenue and West 58th Street and the surrounding area have long experienced flooding problems. A storm sewer system drains this low- lying area; however, when stormwater flows exceed the system’s capacity, water pools along the roadway and in adjacent yards until it rises enough to flow eastward along West 58th Street toward Wooddale Avenue. The flooding problem in this area results from the limited conveyance capacity of the downstream storm sewer system. A one-percent annual-chance storm (100-year storm) in this area has the potential to produce flooding that impacts principal structures between Concord Avenue and St. Johns Avenue and around the intersection of West 58th Street and Fairfax Avenue. Ponding water in backyards and along roads also can impact several principal residential structures in the East Golf Terrace neighborhood north of West 58th Street and west of Wooddale Avenue. The flooding problem in the East Golf Terrace neighborhood is primarily related to the limited inlet capacity and local conveyance capacity of the existing storm sewer system along these roads, which connect to the main storm trunk line along Wooddale Avenue. Stormwater modeling shows that flooding can occur relatively frequently, even during a 24-hour storm that has a 50 percent chance of occurring each year (a 2-year storm). Flooding from a one-percent annual-chance storm (100-year storm) has the potential to impact more than 60 principal structures in these areas.

We also understand that the City has entered into an agreement (hereafter referred to as “agreement”) with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and EPSD to complete a project at this location that will help address MCWD permit requirements related to a 2025 EPSD site grading and tennis court relocation project at South View Middle School. The agreement outlines a schedule for completion of this feasibility study as well as subsequent construction of the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project and also outlines requirements to satisfy MCWD permitting requirements that were not met during construction at the EPSD site in 2025. As the property owner, the EPSD maintains a significant interest in both the design and successful outcome of this project. This project will expand upon prior stormwater modeling and conceptual planning conducted by Barr for the Concord neighborhood, as detailed in the City's 2022 WRMP (Appendix A, Section 10.3.1.2). The work completed as part of the WRMP identified and evaluated several initial alternatives for potential flood infrastructure improvements in this area. This feasibility study will review the initial alternatives, explore new combinations of alternatives, and may also suggest additional alternatives based, in part, on insights gained from the Morningside Flood Infrastructure Project. For the EPSD property, the City has identified options it would like to further evaluate, as shown on the attached concept figure of the EPSD property. This concept figure provided by the City includes the following potential flood risk reduction features: • Lowering the surface of the open field area between Concord Elementary School and South View Middle School to increase flood storage capacity • Stormwater basin (labeled as “Center Field Home Run Glen”) • Underground storage • Lift station with real-time controls and forcemain We understand that evaluations of these and other options, such as increasing inlet capacity in the neighborhood east of the EPSD property, are to be included in the feasibility study portion of this scope. Additionally, to support discussions with EPSD, the City would like to provide a preliminary design (~30% design) of any aboveground (surface) elements of the project that impact EPSD land use; for example, lowering the open field area between Concord Elementary School and South View Middle School field to increase storage capacity, adding a bioretention basin, field restoration, etc. It is our understanding that a roadway reconstruction project is scheduled for 2029 in the Minnehaha Woods neighborhood, situated northeast of the primary project site at the EPSD property. This planned street reconstruction may be coordinated with any recommended infrastructure improvements from this feasibility study that intersect with the extent of the final project area. The primary project location at the EPSD low area west of Concord Ave. and West 58th St. is currently occupied by a baseball field, open space, and track and field space. Stormwater from this area is currently conveyed to the east via gravity pipes along West 58th St. to Minnehaha Creek. This low area and the neighborhood to the east are at risk of flooding even during a 24-hour storm that has a 50-percent chance of occurring each year (a 2-year storm). The combination of flood risk reduction infrastructure alternatives for this site will depend on multiple factors which include but are not limited to cost benefit analysis, permitting requirements, groundwater levels, stakeholder input, and other potential design constraints. Accordingly, we believe Page 196 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 3 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx that the following phased approach is best suited for this evaluation and aligns with the schedule outlined in the MCWD/EPSD/Edina agreement. • Phase 1: Feasibility study and aboveground (surface) elements preliminary design (current scope of services) • Phase 2: Preliminary design for remaining non-surface elements (future phase, anticipated in 2027) • Phase 3: Detailed design (future phase, anticipated in 2027-2028) • Phase 4: Construction (future phase, anticipated to begin in 2028) The following work plan includes our scope of services for Phase 1. After identifying a preferred concept, a preliminary design (Phase 2) scope of services can be developed. Scope of Services The tasks included in this Phase 1 feasibility study and the preliminary design for surface elements are outlined below, organized into two primary categories: the feasibility study and the preliminary design of surface elements. Feasibility Study Task 1 Data review, concept development, and meetings Barr will coordinate a kickoff meeting with City staff to review the project's scope, schedule, and objectives. Before this meeting, Barr will conduct a comprehensive review of existing data and be prepared to address any identified data gaps, as well as present potential strategies for resolving these gaps during discussions with the City. Barr will organize regular check-in meetings and regular email updates with City staff at a frequency to be determined at the project kick-off meeting. Barr will collaborate with City staff to identify flood infrastructure improvement concepts for evaluation in the feasibility study. Following these discussions, Barr will develop initial concepts to integrate park functions with flood management elements, considering spatial constraints as well as the proximity to surrounding schools and neighborhoods. Assumptions: • The project kick-off meeting and any meetings with EPSD and/or MCWD will be held in- person or virtually (per the City’s preference); all meetings will include a virtual attendance option. • The kick-off meeting, meetings with EPSD, and meetings with MCWD will include up to 4 Barr staff and last up to 2 hours. • Barr staff will attend up to three meetings with EPSD throughout the project. • Barr staff will attend up to three meetings with the MCWD throughout the project. • Regular check-in meetings will be virtual and will be 15 minutes to 30 minutes in length. • Barr will provide information for City staff to prepare for one City Council or School Board meeting, as necessary. • We have not included time/cost for additional public or stakeholder meetings. Page 197 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 4 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx • We have not included time/cost for Barr staff attendance at City Council or School Board meetings. • Information provided to City staff for presentation to the City Council or School Board meeting will be limited to information already developed or to be developed under this scope. Time/cost to develop additional figures, exhibits, summary text, or other new deliverables has not been included. • Each concept for evaluation will specify the necessary infrastructure or grading needed, which may involve either a change to one flood risk reduction component or changes to a combination of components. • The feasibility study will focus on selected concepts pertaining to the EPSD property as illustrated in the attached concept figure, as well as other potential modifications within the neighborhood area situated between the EPSD property and Minnehaha Creek. Deliverables: • Project kick-off meeting agenda and notes • List of data gaps and/or information needs from City staff and/or other stakeholders • Concept selection summary e-mail • Project check-in meeting notes • Meeting notes for up to three meetings with EPSD • Meeting notes for up to three meetings with MCWD Task 2 Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling Barr will update the City’s Concord area stormwater model with the 2022 LiDAR elevation data and survey or grading data of the EPSD site, as available. Barr will simulate five 24-hour design storm events (20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, and 1-percent-annual-chance) and the 10-day design storm event (1-percent- annual-chance) for Minnehaha Creek. The tailwater condition in Minnehaha Creek will be based on the fixed tailwater stage hydrograph currently in the two-dimensional (2D) Concord model. Specifically, the 10-year stage hydrograph will be used for the 20- and 10-percent-annual-chance events, and the 100-year stage hydrograph will be utilized for all less-frequent events. At this stage, before specific flood risk reduction concepts have been specified, it is challenging to precisely define the scope of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling required, especially given the numerous potential options and combinations that the City and EPSD may wish to consider. As such, Barr has included a hydrologic and hydraulic modeling allowance of $65,800 to be used to develop the concepts in the model, simulate the design storms, review and summarize results, present the findings to City staff in meetings, and iterate design concepts in the model as needed. Model results from the existing condition and concepts will be compared using the flood inundation extents for the different storm events, peak water levels, and number of potentially impacted principal structures. Methodology to identify potentially impacted structures will be discussed and agreed upon with City staff before analysis begins. Barr will organize a meeting to review concept model results with City staff and discuss the results. Based on results of the initial hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, three concepts will be selected by City staff to be evaluated in further detail through the remaining Feasibility Study (Task 3 through Task 9) and the remaining hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. Note that each concept is expected to include a combination of flood risk reduction elements. Page 198 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 5 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx Barr will revise the hydrologic and hydraulic models for the three selected concepts using input from feasibility study Tasks 3 through 9. This process will involve modifying and optimizing designs based on the findings and outcomes from Tasks 3 to 9. Optimization will focus on evaluating the sizing, sequencing, and interaction of the flood risk reduction features to maximize overall flood risk reduction. This will include assessing how individual features are engaged across a range of storm events, how storage is distributed and activated as storms increase in magnitude, and the estimated frequency and duration of inundation for each feature. Results will inform design refinement, operational performance, and safety considerations for flood risk reduction features located on school district property. Barr will organize a meeting to review and discuss the updated concept model results with City staff. Assumptions: • City will provide survey or grading data for the EPSD site with the South View Middle School tennis courts relocated. • Other than the tennis court relocation, no other grading change in the area where flood risk reduction will be evaluated has been made since the 2022 LiDAR data was collected that would impact modeled flood elevations. • There are no changes to the storm sewer network or BMPs in the Concord model since the annual update data was provided to Barr in January 2025. • Impacted principal structure analysis is based on level pool mapping for the cost estimate. This will be confirmed with City staff prior to analysis, but another methodology may require additional effort (cost) to complete. • Two meetings with the City: one to review the initial model results to select up to three concepts and one to review model results after modifying and optimizing the concepts (up to 2 hours each). • Task 2 modeling will only include the events listed in this section. (24-hour 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, and 1-percent-annual-chance as well as the 10-day 1-percent-annual-chance). If additional event modeling is needed, Barr will complete work on a time and expense basis after receiving written approval from the City. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. • Notes from meeting to review concept model results. Task 3 Cost benefit analysis of flood risk reduction Barr will evaluate the cost benefit of flood risk reduction for the three selected concepts. Methodology for this analysis will follow a similar procedure and calculations developed by the City and Barr during the Morningside Flood Risk Reduction Study and documented in Appendix C of the City of Edina Flood Risk Reduction Strategy report dated April 7, 2020. A meeting with City staff will be held to discuss the methodology used for the Morningside Flood Risk Reduction Study and confirm the application to this project. Work under this task is focused on quantifying the flood consequences and damages of the flood risk reduction and does not include the opinion of probable cost which is included separately in Task 9 of this scope. Page 199 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 6 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx Assumptions: • The methodology developed during the Morningside Flood Risk Reduction Study, as detailed in Appendix C of the City of Edina Flood Risk Reduction Strategy report dated April 7, 2020, will serve as the foundation for this analysis. While modifications to the methodology are not anticipated, adjustments may be made if required to address the specific needs of this project. • City staff will provide structure data to complete this analysis. • City staff will provide spreadsheets or other calculation tools used for this calculation methodology during the Morningside Flood Risk Reduction Study. • A meeting to discuss calculation methodology will be held virtually for up to 2 hours. • Opinion of probable cost is covered under Task 9 of this scope and will not be included in this task. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of these calculations and results. Task 4 Water quality evaluation Barr will utilize the water quality modeling program P8 to evaluate water quality improvement concepts for the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project Feasibility Study Area. Per direction from the City during coordination meetings conducted during scope development, Barr assumes water quality improvement concepts will be (a) located within the EPSD property and (b) will be designed to, at a minimum, provide sufficient water quality benefit to satisfy MCWD permit requirements outlined in the MCWD/EPSD/Edina agreement (MCWD Permit No, 25-106). The agreement outlines the following assumptions and Total Phosphorus (TP) nutrient goals, which will be incorporated into water quality improvement concept design: • For a non-infiltration water quality practice, the designed BMP must achieve an equivalent annual total phosphorus (TP) removal of 0.59 pounds per year. To account for the delay in stormwater water quality treatment associated with approval of this exception, this agreement requires the [stormwater] Facility to be designed to remove at least 0.83 pounds/yr of TP. At this time, prior to identifying specific concepts for water quality improvement, it is difficult to determine the extent of water quality modeling required, recognizing that there are many potential options and combinations of options that the City and EPSD may be interested in evaluating. As such, Barr has included a water quality evaluation allowance of $44,800 that includes development of water quality improvement concepts, setting up and running P8 model simulations, reviewing and summarizing results, presenting the findings to City staff in meetings, and iterating design concepts in the model as needed. Specifically, we assume that the following tasks will be completed as part of the Task 4 water quality evaluation: 1) We will generate up to five (5) water quality improvement concepts to achieve MCWD/EPSD/Edina agreement treatment requirements and/or maximize water quality benefit. We assume that alternatives may include evaluation of inherent water quality benefit provided by flood mitigation concepts developed in the Task 2 hydrologic and hydraulic modeling task, as well as unique, standalone water quality improvement concepts, such as the “Center Field Home Run Glen” concept identified by the City (see attachment). Page 200 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 7 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx 2) We will present initial water quality improvement concepts to the City. Following review by the City, three concepts will be selected by City staff to be evaluated in further detail through the remaining Feasibility Study (Task 5 through Task 9) and the remaining water quality evaluation modeling task. 3) We will update the water quality modeling evaluation representing the selected three concepts with input from the feasibility study Tasks 5 through 9. This will include altering and optimizing design in response to findings and outcomes from Task 3 through Task 9. 4) If needed, Barr will update hydrologic and hydraulic modeling to incorporate selected water quality improvement concepts. Assumptions: • We assume the MCWD/EPSD/Edina agreement target TP removal of 0.83 pounds/year is evaluated from the EPSD property to the receiving storm sewer along West 58th Street. As such, the extent of the water quality model will encompass the EPSD property and terminate at receiving storm sewer along West 58th Street. • A meeting to discuss water quality results will be held virtually for up to 2 hours. • Based on methodology established in the Morningside Flood Risk Reduction Study, P8 water quality modeling will be conducted for the most recent 5-years of available rainfall and temperature data developed from continuous monitoring at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the water quality evaluation. • Notes from meeting to review concept model results. Task 5 Evaluation of irrigation options To guide the evaluation of surface restoration options at the EPSD property, Barr will evaluate options for irrigating the recreational fields and other nearby locations outside of the proposed footprint shown on the attached concept figure. This will include evaluating reusing stormwater or using a groundwater source. This analysis would leverage a Stormwater Reuse Credit Calculator that Barr has developed for clients to assess the efficacy of a combination of site-specific stormwater supply, storage and demand to achieve water quality and water conservation goals. We propose to do a high-level analysis using our Stormwater Reuse Credit Calculator to inform the feasibility of a stormwater reuse component of this project, and to inform further discussions with potential project partners. Additionally, a groundwater source for irrigation may be an option at this location. We propose to evaluate potential limitations and/or benefits of using a groundwater source on site for irrigation purposes. These two options would be considered at a conceptual level in order to gauge the level of interest in pursuing the options any further. A range of planning level opinions of probable costs of irrigation system options will be developed based on precedent projects. If the City decides to pursue a water reuse or groundwater source option for irrigation, the changes to other project tasks such as the groundwater evaluation (Task 6), environmental sampling and analysis (Task 7), and preliminary design (Tasks 11 and 12) would be negotiated as a change to this scope of work, as needed. Page 201 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 8 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx Assumptions: • We will not provide analysis or information on the option to use City water for field irrigation. • Planning level opinion of probable cost will be based on precedent projects. • One meeting with City staff to discuss the summary of results and cost estimate. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the evaluation of irrigation options. • Notes from meeting with City. Task 6 Groundwater evaluation Preliminary groundwater elevation data collected during geotechnical investigations (Geotechnical Evaluation Report, Concord Elementary Flood Infrastructure, Braun Intertec, 2025) indicate that groundwater is expected to be roughly 4-8 feet below the current ground surface in the study area. These shallow groundwater levels may restrict some design options. Additional piezometers are planned to be installed under a separate scope of work to provide more accurate estimates of groundwater-level variability across space and time. As part of this scope, Barr will record groundwater levels every two weeks and after large storm events through July 2026 at the four piezometers installed on the EPSD property (three installed in early 2026 under a separate scope and one previously installed by Braun in 2025). These groundwater levels will be summarized in our report and will inform subsequent analysis as described below. The impact of shallow groundwater on three concepts carried forward from Task 2 will be assessed. Currently, before identifying specific concepts for flood risk reduction, it is difficult to determine how much groundwater analysis is needed. Therefore, Barr has included a groundwater analysis allowance of $35,000 to evaluate groundwater levels and summarize how groundwater may influence design concepts and constraints.The feasibility of stormwater infiltration depends in part on groundwater levels and the hydraulic conductivity of the saturated soils. If groundwater levels show that infiltration is an option at the EPSD property, slug tests will be performed in each piezometer to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the saturated soil at the site. If groundwater levels and slug testing show that infiltration is an option at the EPSD property we will perform groundwater modeling to represent the effect of stormwater infiltration. If infiltration is determined to be an option at the EPSD property, we will assess the potential impact of increased infiltration at the EPSD property on nearby groundwater levels. This review includes examining the possibility of long-term changes to groundwater conditions caused by higher infiltration. It will also evaluate whether infiltration might raise the water table in the area and potentially limit construction depth or the volumes that can be infiltrated. A groundwater flow model will be developed to simulate infiltration and the associated groundwater mounding. This model will be developed using the modeling code MODFLOW, which is the most commonly used groundwater modeling code in the United States and was developed by the United States Geological Survey. Publicly available data on local geology, soils, and existing groundwater and hydrologic conditions for the area will be reviewed and included in the groundwater model as appropriate. This will include a review of soil boring data collected during the previous geotechnical investigation (Braun, 2025), as well as data from additional borings associated with piezometers to be installed under a separate scope. Long-term steady-state simulations, as well as transient simulations involving multiple consecutive large precipitation events, will be conducted for concepts that include infiltration. Page 202 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 9 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx The groundwater flow model and mounding analysis will focus primarily on potential impacts to surrounding homes and other infrastructure. The potential increase in the water table elevation in relation to nearby structures and basements will be considered. Basement elevations will be estimated using existing ground surface elevations or data provided by the City. Assumptions: • Surface feature concepts will not introduce surface water and groundwater interaction in a surface basin; if concepts lead to surface water groundwater interaction in a surface basin, additional groundwater evaluation and modeling may need to be completed to support design of active groundwater management. • Passive groundwater drainage systems may be needed to dewater features at the EPSD property, and it is assumed that volumes would remain below Minnesota Department of Natural Resources water appropriation permitting thresholds. • Three additional piezometers will be installed as part of a separate scope of work, and piezometer ST-1, installed by Braun in 2025, will remain in place for groundwater measurements. • This scope of work does not include any survey of basements in the vicinity of the proposed project. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the groundwater evaluation. This will include a summary of groundwater levels, hydraulic conductivity of soils, and the constraints shallow groundwater may have on design concepts. Task 7 Environmental sampling and analysis Based on a cursory review of historical aerial photographs and MPCA’s What’s in my Neighborhood website, there is potential for contamination in soils and groundwater at the site. To assess whether contamination is present and may require response actions, we recommend a preliminary environmental investigation of the site to inform soil and groundwater management decisions for construction activities. If contamination is identified, additional investigation, response action planning and enrollment in the MPCA’s voluntary remediation program may be appropriate during project design. We propose to first complete a desktop review of available records. This review will include historical aerial photographs, nearby well and boring records, and Leak Site records from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Based on the review of historical information, the next steps include the collection of soil and groundwater samples from a soil boring investigation. A soil boring sample collection plan based on the three flood risk reduction concepts will be developed to evaluate the soil that would be removed or regraded at the site, if applicable. For this scope and cost estimate, we assume borings will be advanced with a direct-push, tracked drill rig at up to 6 locations. Soil borings will be completed to native soil or to the depth needed to obtain a groundwater sample, where applicable, estimated to be less than 15 feet below ground surface (bgs). Samples will be continuously collected with a dual-tube or macro core sampler. Borings will be sealed in accordance with state and local codes. Soil throughout the depth of soil boring or test excavation will be continuously logged and inspected for visual evidence of debris and other evidence of contamination such as staining, odors, discoloration, Page 203 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 10 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx and/or sheen. One sample will be collected from each boring and submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis of Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals. Groundwater samples would be collected from temporary wells at up to 3 boring locations. Upon completion of the soil borings, a temporary well will be installed using a 1” PVC screen and riser. Groundwater samples will be sent to an accredited laboratory for the same parameter list (DRO, PAHs, RCRA metals). An additional investigation will be conducted to assess the condition of surficial soil (0-2 feet bgs) across the site to assess whether topsoil may be reused onsite or offsite per MPCA guidelines. Up to 6 composite samples will be collected using hand sampling methods (hand auger or shovel) and submitted to an accredited laboratory for analysis of DRO, PAHs, and RCRA metals. The composite samples will be comprised of 5 aliquots each. Assumptions: • Preparation for field events will include completing subcontract with drilling contractor; completing a safe work plan; utility locates, lab coordination, and coordination with the City of Edina. • Soil boring investigation will include up to 1.5 days to complete up to 6 borings with temporary wells. Driller and laboratory costs are estimated based on recent examples. • Surficial soil sampling will include up to 1 days for two field staff. • Additional investigation may be warranted depending on the final concept and design selected, or if contamination is identified to further delineate the extent. This work would be completed as part of a separate scope. Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the environmental sampling and analysis. This will include a summary of the results of the investigation, and will include boring logs, photographs, a sample location figure, and data tables. Task 8 Permit evaluation Barr will evaluate applicable permitting requirements associated with the flood risk reduction alternatives considered as part of the feasibility study. This effort will include the identification and review of local, watershed district, state, and federal permits potentially required for the implementation of the Concord Flood Infrastructure Project. Barr will assess how proposed alternatives may address outstanding MCWD permit requirements associated with the 2025 EPSD site improvements, identify key permitting constraints and risks, and summarize anticipated permitting pathways, approvals, and coordination needs to inform alternative selection and project phasing. Assumptions: • Evaluation of permitting requirements will be limited to a desktop study identifying applicable permits, anticipated approval processes, and key constraints at a feasibility level. Preparation of permit applications, technical exhibits, formal agency submittals, or permit compliance documentation is not included. Page 204 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 11 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include a summary of the permit requirements. Task 9 Feasibility engineering evaluation and opinion of probable cost At this time, prior to identifying specific concepts for flood risk reduction, it is difficult to determine the extent of feasibility level engineering review required to develop an opinion of probable cost. Feasibility level engineering needs will be determined following the selection of the three concepts in Task 2. As such, Barr has included a feasibility level engineering allowance of $38,000 to be used to review and to provide input on cost and potential design considerations for the three concepts by civil, geotechnical, water resources, structural, electrical, and environmental engineers. Barr will prepare a Class 4 cost estimate (concept-level, order of magnitude cost), as categorized by Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering for up to three concepts. The concept-level cost estimates are intended to compare and evaluate the three concepts and inform decision-making. Assumptions: • Existing survey information is available; no additional survey is required. • No additional geotechnical information will be collected prior to this task (Task 9). Deliverables: • The feasibility study report, as outlined in Task 10, will include the Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (concept-level) for up to three concepts. Task 10 Feasibility study report Barr will prepare a report that documents the feasibility study. The report will document the analyses (non-technical and technical) completed throughout the project. Assumptions: • A draft report will be provided to the City for review and comment. • Report will not include information from the preliminary design (Tasks 11 and 12).

Following this, Barr will prepare designs for surface features and landscape restoration to an approximate 30% design level. Planting options will be developed and presented with precedent imagery to facilitate decision- making discussions with EPSD. The opinion of probable construction cost for the selected concept will be revised to reflect additional information identified during preliminary surface feature design. Existing geotechnical data will be reviewed, and recommendations will be provided regarding the need for further geotechnical investigations prior to final design. For the purpose of preparing our cost estimate, we have assumed that the chosen concept will incorporate modifications to lower the fields between South View Middle School and Concord Elementary School, as well as the design and construction of a stormwater basin. Subtasks will include: a. Assessing existing field conditions via a site walk-through with City and EPSD staff b. Conceptual design of surface features (30% design) a. Develop a conceptual design of the field and stormwater basin which aligns with the selected concept from the feasibility study report. This will include preliminary grading, storm structure location, and restoration plans or sketches with precedent imagery. b. Feedback from city staff will be utilized to further develop the conceptual design into final conceptual plans and to develop an updated restoration sketch. c. Prepare a Class 3 engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost (30% design) to establish a budget-level project cost based on the increased level of design definition for surface features only. Barr will organize a meeting to review draft site plan drawings, a restoration sketch, and precedent imagery with City staff and discuss comments. Barr will organize a meeting to review the same draft deliverables with EPSD staff, as needed. Feedback from these two meetings, along with a set of redline comments provided by the City on the draft deliverables, will be incorporated into the preliminary engineering documents. If any comment relates to features or details not already included in the preliminary design drawings, it will be noted for consideration during future detailed design phases. Assumptions: • The City’s selected flood risk reduction concept plan from the Feasibility Study will be used to inform the preliminary design, but preliminary design of all features is not included in this scope. Preliminary engineering design will not include design of features besides surface grading. This task will not require design of structural, electrical, mechanical, or other engineering disciplines besides civil. • The selected concept plan includes lowering the fields and constructing a new stormwater basin Page 206 of 310 Mr. Ross Bintner, Ms. Jessica Wilson, and Mr. Chad Millner January 30, 2026 Page 13 \\barr.com\Administration\Business Units\WR\Proposals\2025\P274.25 City of Edina Concord Flood Reduction Feasib\Edina Concord Flood Infrastructure Feasibility_30JAN2026_FINAL.docx • Draft deliverables will be provided to the City for review. Barr will incorporate one round of review comments from City staff after the deliverable review meeting. • Meeting with the City to review the draft deliverables (up to 2 hours). No additional graphics will be created for this meeting. • Meeting with the EPSD to review the draft deliverables (up to 2 hours). No additional graphics will be created for this meeting. • Existing survey information is available and no additional survey will be required. • No additional geotechnical information will be collected. • Specifications will not be developed. • No new recreational facilities or fields will be added. Deliverables: • Site plan drawings (PDF) • Restoration sketch • Precedent imagery (PDF) • Recommendations for future geotechnical investigations • Engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost for 30% design of surface features Task 12 Preliminary design of surface features technical support As the preliminary design scope component is focused on surface features (stormwater basin and lowering the field) and not the entire flood risk reduction plan selected by the City as an outcome of the feasibility study, Barr will coordinate internally with the technical team for review and documentation of future analysis updates needed based on the preliminary design. A memorandum will be developed with a summary of updates needed from the feasibility study report based on the preliminary design of the surface features. Assumptions: • Modeling and calculations will not be updated as part of the preliminary design of surface features. Deliverables: • Internal memo documenting the required changes for further analysis in the Phase 2 preliminary feature design (applicable only to features excluded from the Phase 1 scope (can be provided to the City). Project Schedule In accordance with the MCWD/EPSD/Edina agreement, the City has committed to contracting a feasibility study by February 28, 2026, and to submitting the corresponding feasibility report to the MCWD by December 31, 2026.

Project Assumptions • Meetings will be in-person or virtual (based on City preference); all meetings will allow for virtual attendance. • Deliverables will be in an electronic format. • Report and figure deliverables will be developed with ADA requirement review. • Documents from past related efforts or provided by other consultants will not need to be re- formatted for ADA requirements. Meeting notes, emails, and other intermediate deliverables will not be required to follow ADA requirements. • This scope does not include the collection of survey data. Survey data will be provided by the City or covered under a separate scope. • The City will be surveying low entries of homes in the Concord neighborhood, as needed. Much of the “benefit” of the flood risk reduction options rely on an accurate assessment of whether or not a home is impacted by flooding when water levels reach a specific elevation. To date, we have largely used LiDAR elevation data in conjunction with building footprints (GIS data) as the elevation source for homes. However, at this stage in planning, survey data will become more important to help understand the overall benefit of each flood risk reduction option.

Requisition Number: 12600042 Vendor: Korechi Innovations Inc. Equipment Status: Replacement Funding Source: Braemar Golf Operations Cost: $58,900 Information/Background: The driving range golf ball picking equipment is critical to the Driving Range operation and needs to be replaced on a regularly scheduled basis. As these machines age beyond their useful life, they require more labor and funds to maintain them. Replacements are needed to keep the fleet in working condition and up to acceptable standards for a premier practice facility like the Braemar Golf Course Driving Range. This replacement is for an autonomous piece of equipment for range ball picking. According to a report from the National Golf Foundation (NGF) the NGF "has observed declining investment in the golf courses as revenues declined. Golf courses are "living and breathing" assets that will deteriorate over time, and significant reductions in capital expenditures eventually will catch up to the system." Braemar Golf Course plans to avoid this trend by strategic reinvestment into operations. Resources/Financial Impacts: Golf Operations Budget — After purchase, the new autonomous unit will save the golf course's operational budget on staffing, fuel and maintenance expenses while adding additional operational hours. Projected return on investment is projected at three years. The unit will be funded through the Braemar Golf Course operations fund balance.

Through commission service, community members build meaningful connections, contribute lived experience, and strengthen trust and belonging in City governance. Equity Commission appointments support participation in City decision- making by creating multiple pathways for residents to contribute their perspectives and experiences.

Health By engaging residents in advisory roles, the City can integrate diverse perspectives that help identify health impacts and promote conditions that support community well-being. Sustainability By engaging residents in advisory roles, the City can integrate diverse perspectives to support and implement Edina's Climate Action Plan. Stewardship The commission structure encourages long-term, forward-looking thinking that considers social, and economic impacts.

Information/Background: The goal of this ordinance is to emphasize the protection of trees and to identify the requirements for replacement impacted by development. The City Council has continued to review the ordinance at various points since initial adoption that occurred on January 1, 2023. The most recent feedback occurred at the September 2, 2025, Work Session that also included comments from the Energy and Environment Commission (EEC) that provided feedback at the July 10, 2025, and August 14, 2025 regular EEC meetings. City staff, in coordination with the City’s Legal Counsel, drafted changes to the ordinance that reflect technical, legal and operational improvements to the ordinance. Currently, Edina City Code Chapter 10-82 holds the residential Tree Protection Ordinance, which is applied on all construction work on residential properties zoned R-1 and R-2. The Amendments being made would move the Tree Protection Ordinance in City Code Chapter 10 (Building and Building Regulations) to City Code Chapter 30 (Vegetation). This new amended ordinance will now apply to all zoned parcels in Edina, including commercial. To remediate common issues presented during the feedback process, the following changes are proposed for adoption: 1. Repealing Chapter 10 - Buildings and Building Regulations and Amending Chapter 30 - Vegetation to reflect all tree protection requirements. 2. Effective for all zoning districts. 3. Definitions for common understanding for both the city and permit holder, including measurement techniques, definitions for built lots, ISA Certified Arborist, tree protection, and Certified Professional. 4. Replanting requirements allow for up to 20% of replacements to be made up of different tree types, allowing for both conifers and deciduous trees to be combined for total replanting requirements. 5. Exemption for replanting requirements on built lots, including situations where existing trees pose damage to foundations, sidewalks, and driveways as confirmed by a certified professional or the City Engineer. 6. Creation of a venue for off-site planting mitigation if permit holder cannot complete plantings on site. Page 247 of 310 For ease of tracking a comparison document has been created commenting on proposed changes to the protection ordinance. Resources/Financial Impacts: No fiscal impact. Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: The Tree Protection Ordinance supports both the Comprehensive Plan and Climate Action Plan. Strong Foundation Reliable Service Livable City Better Together Values Impact: Engagement The Energy & Environment Commission has been engaged in the tree protection ordinance discussion since 2022. Sustainability This ordinance supports Edina’s Climate Action Plan’s goals to protect Edina’s tree canopy and increase environmental resiliency.

Chapter 30 [Vegetation] of the Edina City Code is hereby amended by adding a new Article V Tree Protection, as follows: ARTICLE V. TREE PROTECTION DIVISION 1. TREE PROTECTION The new tree protection ordinance is placed in a new Article V. Sec. 30-205. Purpose. Edina is fortunate to have a robust inventory of mature trees that form an integral part of the unique character and history of the city, and that contribute to the long-term aesthetic, environmental, and economic well-being of the city. The goal of this section is to preserve Edina's high valued trees, while allowing reasonable development to take place and not interfere with how existing property owners use their property. The purposes of the ordinance are to: (1) Preserve and grow Edina's tree canopy cover by protecting mature trees throughout the city. (2) Protect and enhance property values by conserving and adding to the distinctive and unique This is substantially the same as existing Section 10-82(1). Page 249 of 310 238443v2 aesthetic character of Edina's tree population. (3) Protect and enhance the distinctive environmental character of Edina's neighborhoods. (4) Improve the quality of life for all, including city residents, visitors and wildlife. (5) Protect the environment by the filtering of air and soil pollutants, increasing oxygen levels and reducing CO2; preventing and reducing erosion and stormwater by stabilizing soils; decreasing wind speeds; reducing noise pollution; and decreasing the urban heat island effect. (6) Protect and maintain healthy trees in the development and building permit processes as set forth herein; and prevent tree loss by eliminating or reducing compacted fill and excavation near tree roots. Sec. 30-206. Applicability. Except as otherwise provided in this section, this Article V applies to all public or private property in the city. This article does not apply to city parkland, which follows tree protection guidelines outlined in Edina's Comprehensive Plan and City Park System Plan. This is a new section. It modifies the opening paragraph of existing Section 10-82 by applying the ordinance to all property in the city, not just to R-1 and R-2 properties. It retains the exception for city parkland.

A permit for a related application as identified in subdivision (1)(a), (b), or (c) of this section may not be issued until: i. The forestry staff has reviewed and approved the proposed tree protection plan; and ii. The financial security required by section 30-212 has been deposited with the city. c. For related applications that are subdivision approvals, review and approval of the tree protection plan is required at the time of subdivision approval. Approval of the related application will be conditioned upon the requirement that any development of the subdivision comply with the approved tree protection plan. The financial security required by section 30-212 For grading, demolition and building permits, the permit will not be issued until the tree protection plan is approved and security has been provided. Subdivisions are treated differently. The tree protection plan must be approved at the time the subdivision is approved, but financial security is not required until actual land disturbance (grading, demolition, building permit) begins. Page 258 of 310 238443v2 will not be required to be deposited until a subsequent related application as identified at subdivision 1(a), (b), or (c) is made for any portion of the approved subdivision. A new tree protection plan is not required for the subsequent related application, and the subsequent application may be approved based upon the tree protection plan approved in conjunction with the subdivision approval; but the financial security must be calculated as of the date of the subsequent related application and must be deposited prior to approval of the subsequent related application. Sec. 30-209 Construction activity and tree removal restrictions. (1) Removal of protected and heritage trees from properties that are the subject of a related application is prohibited, except as provided by a tree protection plan approved in accordance with sections 30-208 and 30-210. (2) Any protected tree or heritage tree transplanted on-site shall not be counted under this section as having been removed and therefore does not require replacement under section 30-210, provided that the tree remains This is new, to explicitly prohibit removal of trees except as provided in approved tree protection plan. This compares to section 10-82(12) Page 259 of 310 238443v2 viable after 12 months, as required by section 30-210(5) (3) Before construction, grading or land clearing begins, tree protection fencing or other method must be installed and maintained at the critical root zones of the trees to be protected. The location and method of tree protection must be in conformance with the approved tree protection plan. The fencing must be inspected by forestry staff before site work begins. The fencing must remain in place until all demolition and construction is complete. (4) No construction, compaction, construction access, stock piling of earth, storage of equipment or building materials, or grading may occur within the critical root zone areas of trees to be protected, unless there are no other on-site alternatives. If there are no other alternatives, a plan for this activity would need to be reviewed and approved by the forestry staff and included in the tree protection plan. A reasonable effort must be made when trenching utility lines to avoid the critical root zone. (5) When construction is complete, the soil for all existing, new or transplanted trees must be aerated and de-compacted from the tree base to the drip line of the tree. Aerating must include multiple concentric circles of one-inch holes, two inches deep, or as recommended by a certified professional.

An application for subdivision approval as identified at subdivision (1)(d) of this section. d. Tree sizes listed in the tree inventory must be measured as follows: i. Existing deciduous trees are to be measured using diameter at breast height (dbh). ii. Existing coniferous trees are to be measured using height in feet from the base of the tree to the mid-point of the tallest whorl. e. Replacement deciduous trees must be measured based upon caliper, using the American Standard for Nursey Stock (ANSI Z60.1): i. Single stem trees less than 4” caliper must be measured at 6 inches above ground level; and ii. Greater than 4” caliper trees must be measured at 12 inches above ground level; and iii. Multi-stem trees must be measured by half of the 3 largest stems. f. Replacement coniferous trees must be measured by feet in height from the base of the tree to the mid-point of the tallest whorl. (3) Tree protection methods.The tree protection plan must describe the method(s) to be used to prevent disturbance within the critical root zone and base of the tree as required by section 30-209 (3). Acceptable methods of tree protection include: a. Fencing: snow fence, erosion control, chain link; or b. Construction tape or rope, durable and maintained; or c. Other material or methods as approved by forestry staff. (4) Coordination with stormwater management plan. If a stormwater management plan is submitted in connection with the related application, the tree protection plan must be coordinated with the stormwater management plan; preserved trees that will be preserved, transplanted or planted Page 274 of 310 should be shown on the stormwater management plan to ensure no conflicts. (5) Review and approval of tree protection plan. a. Forestry staff will review proposed tree protection plans for compliance with Article V. Forestry staff may require changes to a tree protection plan as necessary to comply with this division, including, but not limited to, the trees to be preserved or removed, the methods used to protect critical root zones of trees, and the location, size and species for proposed replacement trees. b. A permit for a related application as identified in subdivision (1)(a), (b), or (c) of this section may not be issued until: i. The forestry staff has reviewed and approved the proposed tree protection plan; and ii. The financial security required by section 30-212 has been deposited with the city. c. For related applications that are subdivision approvals, review and approval of the tree protection plan is required at the time of subdivision approval. Approval of the related application will be conditioned upon the requirement that any development of the subdivision comply with the approved tree protection plan. The financial security required by section 30-212 will not be required to be deposited until a subsequent related application as identified at subdivision 1(a), (b), or (c) is made for any portion of the approved subdivision. A new tree protection plan is not required for the subsequent related application, and the subsequent application may be approved based upon the tree protection plan approved in conjunction with the subdivision approval; but the financial security must be calculated as of the date of the subsequent related application and must be deposited prior to approval of the subsequent related application. Sec. 30-209 Construction activity and tree removal restrictions. (1) Removal of protected and heritage trees from properties that are the subject of a related application is prohibited, except as provided by a tree protection plan approved in accordance with sections 30-208 and 30-210. (2) Any protected tree or heritage tree transplanted on-site shall not be counted under this section as having been removed and therefore does not require replacement under section 30-210, provided that the tree remains viable after 12 months, as required by section 30-210(5). (3) Before construction, grading or land clearing begins, tree protection fencing or other method must be installed and maintained at the critical root zones of the trees to be protected. The location and method of tree protection must be in conformance with the approved tree protection plan. The fencing must be inspected by forestry staff before site work begins. The fencing must remain in place until all demolition and construction is complete. (4) No construction, compaction, construction access, stockpiling of earth, storage of equipment or building materials, or grading may occur within the critical root zone areas of trees to be protected, unless there are no other on-site alternatives. If there are no other alternatives, a plan for this activity would need to be reviewed and approved by the forestry staff and included in the tree protection plan. A reasonable effort must be made when trenching utility lines to avoid the critical root zone. (5) When construction is complete, the soil for all existing, new or transplanted trees must be aerated and de-compacted from the tree base to the drip line of the tree. Aerating must include multiple Page 275 of 310 concentric circles of one-inch holes, two inches deep, or as recommended by a certified professional. Sec. 30-210 Tree mitigation (1) If a protected tree, other than a heritage tree, is removed, it must be replaced with trees equal to at least 75% of the deciduous dbh and 75% of the coniferous height in feet, as applicable, of the removed tree, subject to the following conditions: a. Protected coniferous trees must be replaced with similar species using at least an 80/20 ratio, meaning 80% of replacement trees must be coniferous species and up to 20% replacement trees may be of deciduous species that are normally found growing in similar conditions and that are included in Hennepin County's "Recommended Tree List." b.

Trees located in an active easement or easement with a future need as identified by the City Engineer. Sec. 30-211 Off-site tree mitigation (1) The tree mitigation requirements under section 30-210 must be satisfied by planting replacement trees on the subject property, unless the forestry staff determines that the subject property cannot accommodate the required number of replacement trees in a manner necessary for the trees to remain healthy and viable. (2) If the forestry staff determines that the requirements of subdivision (1) cannot be satisfied, the forestry staff may approve planting of replacement trees on private property located within 300 feet of the subject property, provided that the applicant complies with the requirements of this section. (3) If the forestry staff determines that the requirements of subdivision (1) cannot be satisfied and there is property within 300 feet of the subject property that is suitable for or willing to accept replacement trees, the forestry staff may approve planting of replacement trees on other property located within the City of Edina; provided that the applicant complies with the requirements of this section. (4) An applicant who requests to perform off-site tree mitigation under subdivision (2) must provide written notice to the owners of all property within 300 feet of the subject property, notifying the owners that trees are available for planting on their properties. In addition, the applicant must post a sign on the subject property indicating that trees are available for planting and providing a contact name and phone number for the applicant or applicant’s representative. (5) An applicant who requests to perform off-site tree mitigation under subdivision (3) must comply with subdivision (4) above and must attest to forestry staff that no property owners expressed any interest in accepting any replacement trees. Page 277 of 310 (6) Before approving a tree protection plan that includes off-site tree mitigation, the forestry staff must obtain from the applicant an agreement between the applicant and the owner of the property on which replacement trees will be planted. The agreement must: identify the specifies of replacement trees and the locations at which the replacement trees will be planted; address who is responsible for watering and care of the replacement trees and for the replacement of any tree that is not viable after 12 months, as required by section 30-210(5); grant the City of Edina the right to enter the property where replacement trees will be planted for purposes of inspection and enforcement. Regardless of any such agreement, the applicant is at all times responsible for complying with the requirements of this Article V. Sec. 30-212 Financial Security (1) The City shall require the applicant to provide a cash escrow or a letter of credit satisfactory to the City as security for compliance with the approved tree protection plan, in accordance with section 30-208(5). (2) The amount of the financial security may be determined under one of the options below: a. An amount equal to 110% of the estimated cost of the replacement trees required by the approved tree protection plan, based upon a verified quotation from a landscape supplier; or b. An amount equal to the sum of: i. $300.00 per deciduous dbh below 75% of the total dbh of protected deciduous trees removed; and ii. $300.00 per coniferous foot below 75% of the total feet of protected coniferous trees removed; and iii. $500.00 per deciduous dbh below 100% of the dbh of heritage deciduous trees removed; and iv. $500.00 per coniferous foot below 100% of the coniferous feet removed. (3) The financial security shall be released according to the following schedule: a. After the applicant has planted the required replacement trees but no earlier than the completion of site-disturbing activities on the subject property as approved by the related application, and upon request by the applicant, forestry staff shall inspect the site using the submitted escrow release form that includes the updated tree planting plan. If the forestry staff determines that the applicant has complied with the approved tree protection plan, 50% of the original financial security shall be released. If the applicant has not fully complied with the tree protection plan, the financial security will be released at a ratio that corresponds to 50% of the estimated percentage of compliance. b. No less than 12 months after the planting of all required replacement trees or the completion of all other site-disturbing activities under the related application, whichever is later, the applicant must submit the escrow release form including a landscape review by an ISA certified arborist, certifying planted and preserved trees are viable. If any trees planted both on site and off site are found to be not viable, the applicant must replace those trees in substantially the same location. The remaining balance of the financial security will be released upon the City’s receipt of an ISA certified arborist’s certification that all replacement trees are viable or, if not all trees are certified as viable, upon City forestry Page 278 of 310 staff’s verification that nonviable trees have been replaced, whichever is later. c. If the applicant fails to comply with the requirements of this Article V, the City may draw upon the financial security for purposes of performing the work required to bring the subject property or other property into compliance with the approved tree preservation plan. Sec. 30-213 Transition. This Article V supersedes and replaces the provisions of Chapter 10 [Buildings and Building Regulations], Article III [Building Code], Division 3 [Tree Protection] of the Edina City Code. The repeal of those provisions does not affect the validity of tree protection plans approved pursuant to those provisions. All monies collected pursuant to the repealed provisions shall be held as financial security to ensure compliance with previously approved plans and disbursed in accordance with section 30-212. Sec. 30-214 Violations; penalties. (1) Misdemeanor. Violation of this Article V is a misdemeanor. (2) Other remedies. The provisions of section 1-18 shall also apply to violations of this Article V. Section 5. This ordinance is effective upon publication. Passed by the City Council of Edina on (Date TBD) First Reading: February 17, 2026 Second Reading: Summary for Publication: Ordinance 2026-04 repeals and replaces existing tree protection regulations in Chapters 10 and 30 of the City Code and establishes a new comprehensive Tree Protection ordinance under Chapter 30. The ordinance requires tree protection plans for certain grading, demolition, building, and subdivision activities; defines protected and heritage trees; sets standards for preservation, removal, replacement, and off-site mitigation; and requires financial security to ensure compliance. The new regulations are intended to preserve and expand Edina’s tree canopy while allowing reasonable development and protecting the community’s environmental, aesthetic, and economic benefits. Page 279 of 310 Item Report February 17, 2026 City Council Item Number: 8.2 Department: Administration Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Sharon Allison, City Clerk Item Title: Ordinance 2026-02: Amending Section 4-9-9; Repealing and Replacing Chapter 6 Article III Lawful Gambling of the Edina City Code Action Requested: Approve Ordinance 2026-02 Amending Section 4-9-9; Repealing and Replacing Chapter 6 Article III Lawful Gambling of the Edina City Code, and grant second reading. Approve summary publication. Information/Background: On Feb. 4, Council approved first reading of Ordinance 2026-02 with the following changes: 1. Six (6) premises permit. 2. One (1) premises permit per organization. To draw attention to the changes, it is highlited in the Ordinance in Section 6-66 (c) (4) & (5). Staff Report from the February 4, 2026 meeting: On January 20, the City Council directed staff to return with the lawful gambling ordinance for first reading based on staff’s recommendations. The proposed ordinance establishes a local framework for regulating lawful gambling activities within the City, including limits on permits, eligibility requirements, trade area spending, and financial contributions. Since the January 20 discussion, staff made one technical adjustment to the ordinance consistent with Council direction. Staff previously recommended discontinuing local background checks for officers of nonprofit organizations conducting exempt gambling. To implement this change, references to a local permit requirement were removed from the ordinance. Instead, nonprofit organizations seeking to conduct exempt gambling will be required to notify the City at least 30 days prior to the gambling event, consistent with state law. Staff will review and sign the organization’s LG220 Application for Exempt Permit, which the organization will then submit to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board. Exempt permits are issued to nonprofit organizations conducting gambling for five or fewer days in a calendar year and awarding less than $50,000 in prizes annually. The rest of the ordinance remains the same as presented on Jan. 20: • Premises Permits: The ordinance limits the number of premises permits initially allowed within the city. Staff recommend starting with three (3) premises permits to allow staff to get a full understanding of the demand and staff’s capacity to manage the funds and reporting requirements. • Eligibility: Only organizations within Edina’s city limits/jurisdictions. • Trade Area: A required percentage or all of net gambling proceeds must be expended within Page 280 of 310 the City’s trade area. Staff recommend 70%. The trade area is all cities contiguous to Edina. • Financial Requirements: o Impose up to 3% local gambling tax on gross receipts from gambling, minus prizes actually paid out. The tax must only be used to cover the cost of regulating lawful gambling. Staff recommend 3%. o Contribution of 10% of net profit to a fund administered by the City. Use of funds are to be determined by the Council. Potential uses could include community events such as the 4th of July Parade. If approved on first reading, the ordinance will return to the City Council for a second reading and possible adoption. Resources/Financial Impacts: Implementation of the ordinance is expected to result in modest administrative workload associated with processing permits, reviewing reports, and monitoring compliance. The proposed 3% local gambling tax is intended to offset the City’s regulatory costs. In addition, the required 10% contribution of net profits to a City-administered fund could provide a modest revenue source to support Council- identified community priorities. Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: Values Impact: Engagement Charitable gambling was requested by the community for consideration as a means for supporting non-profits in the community. Allowing charitable gambling could be seen as a means for individuals who are not connected on a day-to-day basis to still support non-profit groups. Bingo and other means of charitable gambling have been local opportunities for people to gather around the State of MN for decades. Equity Allowing up to six lawful gambling premises permits is intended to expand economic opportunity and support a range of nonprofit and community organizations that rely on lawful gambling revenues to fund their work. By increasing the number of permits, the City aims create a more equitable environment where more organizations have the potential to benefit from lawful gambling proceeds and reinvest those resources into local services, events, and programs that serve diverse segments of the Edina community. Demographically, according to the World Health Organization “People experiencing significant life events including separation, retirement, injury or the death of a loved one may be at increased risk. Social stressors such as poverty, discrimination or other disadvantage also increase risks. Heavy promotion of gambling online and through sport also poses risks of normalizing gambling for children and young people.” Page 281 of 310 Health Lawful gambling can create social and financial benefits, but it also carries potential risks related to problem and compulsive gambling. Research shows that “…Minnesota ranks as the 13th most gambling-addicted state in the U.S…” and approximately 1% of Americans experience a gambling disorder, with additional percentages experiencing milder gambling-related problems; problem gambling can negatively affect mental health, relationships, and financial stability. There is a increased suicide risk associated with those with gambling addiction (according to the World Health Organization). Minnesota law requires licensed lawful gambling organizations to post problem gambling information prominently at the premises, including a toll- free helpline number established by the Commissioner of Human Services. This requirement helps ensure that patrons are aware of resources for help if gambling becomes problematic. To further mitigate health impacts and support community wellbeing, the Council could dedicate a portion of the statutorily dedicated “10% funds” to support community health initiatives, including nonprofit organizations focused on problem gambling prevention, mental health services, or addiction recovery programs or to community health. Staff recommend dedication conversations be considered later this year when we have a better idea of the revenue. Minnesota statute recognizes contributions to programs for the education, prevention, or treatment of problem gambling as a lawful use of gambling proceeds. In Edina, establishing proactive partnerships with local public health or behavioral health nonprofits to receive contributions from gambling proceeds could strengthen prevention and support efforts tailored to residents. Stewardship Stewardship principles were applied by balancing community values, regulatory compliance, and fiscal responsibility. The ordinance aligns with state regulations for lawful gambling conduct and posting requirements, ensuring that permitted premises operate safely and transparently while protecting vulnerable populations. Expanding the number of permitted premises was evaluated in light of potential benefits (support for community organizations and local causes) and responsibilities (awareness of addiction risks and compliance with posting and conduct rules). The ordinance framework encourages responsible use of gambling proceeds for lawful purposes that benefit the broader community and includes mechanisms — such as posting problem gambling information and considering contributions to health-related Page 282 of 310 initiatives — that reflect prudent stewardship of allowable gambling activities within the City of Edina.

Page 290 of 310 Staff Report Date: February 4, 2026 To: Mayor and City Council From: Sharon Allison, City Clerk Subject: Lawful Gambling – Opportunities for Organizations to Benefit Information/Background: At the Council’s request, staff researched how multiple nonprofit organizations may benefit from lawful gambling and whether a nonprofit could obtain a premises permit at a location where space is leased from the City. This memo summarizes what is allowed under state law, the limits on City authority, and policy options for Council consideration. Sharing or Coordinating Lawful Gambling Proceeds The City cannot provide legal advice to individual organizations regarding how they may share gambling proceeds. However, staff identified several ways that more than one organization could benefit from lawful gambling without increasing the number of gambling locations in the city. First, state law allows more than one premises permit to be issued for a single location, however, a premises permit cannot be shared. If Council wishes to allow this, the City could amend the ordinance to clarify limits, such as a maximum number of locations citywide, for example 3, and a maximum number of permits per location, for example two. This would allow two organizations to conduct lawful gambling at the same site; however, it is unknown whether liquor establishments or the organizations would want two organizations to compete at the same location. Second, licensed organizations may contribute gambling proceeds to other charitable organizations, provided the contributions meet lawful purposes under state law. The City’s ordinance already requires that 70 percent of expenditures occur within the City’s trade area. However, the City cannot require organizations to give to specific recipients and would be relying on voluntary decisions by each organization. Third, the City currently requires licensed organizations to contribute 10 percent of net profits to a City- administered charitable fund. The City must distribute these funds for lawful charitable purposes. Some, but not all, local nonprofits may qualify to receive distributions from this fund. Lastly, the Council could increase the number of locations allowed or limit the number of premises permits that the Council would approve for a single organization. Page 291 of 310 Premises Permit at a City-Leased Facility A nonprofit could obtain a premises permit at a location where space is leased from the City, provided the lease is amended to allow lawful gambling activities and all state and local requirements are met. BetterTogether Feedback on the Ordinance The ordinance was posted on the website Jan. 27-Feb. 3. The webpage had 23 visits, but none provided any feedback.

Page 299 of 310 Item Report February 17, 2026 City Council Item Number: 8.3 Department: Fire Item Activity: Action Prepared By: Andrew Slama, Fire Chief Item Title: Amendment to the Mobile ECMO Truck Services, Dispatch and Deployment Agreement Action Requested: Approve the Amendment to the Mobile ECMO Truck(MET) Services, Dispatch and Deployment Agreement. Information/Background: The Edina Fire Department has partnered with Fairview and other healthcare providers to operate the Mobile ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) Truck as part of a pilot program aimed at delivering advanced life-support capabilities in the pre-hospital setting for patients experiencing severe cardiac or respiratory failure who don't currently have access to these specialized services. This specialized unit allows for rapid deployment of equipment and personnel to initiate ECMO therapy, significantly improving survival chances for critical patients. The pilot officially began in late 2021, following months of planning, training, and coordination with partner agencies. This vehicle and pilot program is the first of its kind in the world. To support the operational demands of the Mobile ECMO Truck, an amendment to the existing contract is proposed. The previous agreement utilized "cross-staffing" when an ECMO call was dispatched, an ambulance or fire crew was taken out of service and responded to the ECMO call. This model was not sustainable in the long term. Communication from Edina Fire to ECMO partners resulted in an amendment to the contract. This amendment authorizes dedicated staffing for the ECMO vehicle to ensure rapid response capability and specialized care delivery while not reducing the response profile to Edina residents. Additionally, when these personnel are not actively deployed on ECMO-related calls, they are permitted to assist with Edina Fire Operations, including emergency response and other departmental needs further enhancing our response to Edina residents. This dual- role approach maximizes resource efficiency while maintaining readiness for ECMO activations. The program positions Edina Fire to continue partnering with the ECMO pilot while increasing our response to Edina residents with a strategic position. When not assigned to ECMO operations, these positions funded by the pilot will serve in a Battalion Chief capacity. This position is in our strategic plan to increase the safety and customer service of Edina Fire Department emergency responses. This amendment will allow us to show proof of concept and the impact this position has on our resident, visitor, and employee safety. Resources/Financial Impacts: The revenue provided by this agreement will fund the two dedicated positions. Any other budget impact of this agreement will be supported by the current Fire Department General Fund Budget. The Operations Chief will be responsible for operationalizing the dedicated ECMO response and Battalion Chief positions. Page 300 of 310 Relationship to City Policies/Plans/Budget Pillars: Increasing our strategic response with Battalion Chief positions ensures a strong foundation for emergency response. The addition of two positions funded temporarily ensure a more reliable service during the pilot program. Strong Foundation Reliable Service Values Impact: Health Adding temporary staffing increases the response profile for EMS and Fire incidents in the City. Stewardship This initiative creates stewardship by demonstrating responsible and innovative use of resources to improve public health outcomes while maintaining operational efficiency.

Page 307 of 310 Immigration Response Task Force February 13, 2026, Council Update To: Mayor & City Council From: Scott Neal & MJ Lamon Cc: Immigration Response Task Force Subject: Status Report, Discontinued Items, and Ongoing Actions Background In response to community concern regarding immigration enforcement impacts, the City established an internal Immigration Response Task Force. The Task Force was intentionally structured as a cross- departmental staff team to focus on operational readiness, legal review, rapid coordination, and implementation capacity. The Task Force team has been working since January 23, 2026. The Task Force’s role has been to evaluate what the City can and cannot do, in the context of what is legally viable and develop implementable recommendations for Council consideration. The first update on the Task Force and its work was shared with City Council at its Feb. 4, 2026, work session. Current Situation & Operational Updates The Task Force has now moved through the remainder of the submitted list of ideas. All items have been reviewed for legal authority, operational feasibility, enforcement implications, and potential unintended consequences. Key updates: • Rental Assistance Resolution: Adopted; letter to the Governor mailed Feb. 12. • Park Signage: Signs reinforcing intended park use and directing individuals to call 911 if they observe activity that appears unsafe will be placed on city-owned property starting Friday, Feb. 13. • Community Support Efforts: Continued coordination with VEAP, including volunteer support and collection of items needed. There are four drop off sites: Senior Center, Police Department, Fire Station 1 and Fire Station 2. • Business, Nonprofit and Community Organization Outreach: Staff continue collecting data from businesses, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to better understand impacts to inform future decisions. • Police Calls: The Police Department has received a limited number of 911 calls from individuals reporting concerns they believed to be immigration enforcement–related activity. Each call was evaluated and responded to appropriately by trained professionals. Page 308 of 310 The Task Force has been meeting frequently—often multiple times per week—and coordinating across departments to review ideas, consult with City Attorney, respond to community inquiries, and implement operational steps within a short timeframe. Discontinued (Red-Triaged) Items After consultation with the City Attorney, Police Department, housing staff, employment counsel, and relevant department leads, the following ideas were determined to be legally infeasible, outside City authority, operationally high-risk, or not responsibly implementable. Community Resources & Support 1.17 Place a moratorium on housing evictions The City does not have authority to create eviction moratoriums; this must occur at the State level. Instead, the City has supported emergency rental assistance to help impacted households remain housed. City Regulations & Protections 2.1 Adopt a policy that Edina won’t hire any ICE or Border Patrol agents on/off duty Employment counsel advises against this action. A blanket prohibition would likely violate federal preemption principles, constitutional protections, and state employment laws. 2.2 Authorize staff to document and submit observations of potential constitutional violations Staff should contact police if a crime is occurring. Staff will not document or submit complaints on behalf of individuals; however, they may provide information on how individuals can submit a data request or complaint themselves. 2.6 Place rental inspections on hold The City has not received feedback to put this on hold. Staff will continue case-by-case flexibility if requested. A blanket suspension would undermine health and safety protections. 2.7 Pass an ordinance banning idling, illegal parking, and roadway obstruction targeting ICE vehicles The City cannot target specific federal vehicles. A citywide anti-idling ordinance would be complaint- based and difficult to enforce. Staff do not recommend creating such an ordinance. Police will enforce parking laws when legally able and appropriate. 2.9 Compile and publicly report a list of detained residents The City lacks access to verified detention data. Any list would rely on voluntary self-reporting and raise significant privacy, data practices, safety, and trust concerns. Public Safety & Policing Page 309 of 310 3.14 Assure police support if a restaurant refuses to serve ICE and other Federal Enforcement agents Police may enforce trespass laws if applicable; however, if federal agents are conducting official duties, local police cannot compel them to leave. 3.15 Require federal agents to wear ID or unmask The City does not have legal authority to impose identification requirements on federal agents. Attempting to do so would be unenforceable and create legal conflict. The Task Force recommends no further analysis or development of the red-triaged items due to legal infeasibility, operational risk, and lack of City authority. The Task Force will: • Document elimination and rationale in Task Force records • Communicate clearly, when appropriate, why these ideas cannot be advanced • Refocus efforts on actions within City authority that prioritize: o Clear communication o Community trust o Staff safety o Legally sound and operationally feasible responses Page 310 of 310
