WON

Tonight, we have actually two special orders of business, and the first is really exciting. So we have in our audience, and we are going to invite them up to speak for a little bit, and hopefully also show their work. But we have two Woodbury residents who have earned first place titles in what is the Congressional Art Competition. And so we're going to recognize these residents and, again, have them come up and speak about their pieces a little bit. SO EVERY YEAR, MINNESOTA'S EIGHT CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OFFICES PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL ART COMPETITION, WHICH IS SPONSORED BY THE CONGRESSIONAL INSTITUTE. THE COMPETITION IS OPEN TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN EACH DISTRICT. ONE WINNER WILL HAVE THEIR ARTWORK DISPLAYED AT THE U.S. CAPITOL DURING THE BUILDING FOR ONE YEAR. THIS YEAR, THE CITY OF WOODBURY HAS TWO RESIDENTS THAT WERE SELECTED AS FIRST PLACE WINNERS. Alyssa Wang of Woodbury was selected as a first place winner in the fourth congressional district held by Congresswoman McCollum. Alyssa attends East Ridge High School and won for her graphite piece entitled Color Me Happy. And then Woodbury resident Will Condara previously attended East Ridge, although is going to be going back. but was just finished up or possibly is still finishing up at Perpich Center for the Arts Education. And Will was selected as the first place winner in the fifth congressional district held by Congresswoman Omar for his piece entitled Bowl of Unity. Congratulations to both of you. This is really exciting. And the fact that, again, that we have two residents, that have received these honors. So if both of you, if you'd like to come together or one at a time, would come to the podium and we just, as I mentioned, if we were able to share just a little bit about your artwork, maybe what inspired you, also the medium that you used while you were doing your piece would be wonderful. And then we'll do a group photo as well. So I would like to invite Alyssa first to come forward. I think we have your piece up on the screen now, so. Yes, you can, yep. And you can, if you want to just speak into the microphone a little bit and people behind you can hear you.

All right, do I just like talk about like my piece? Sure. Okay, okay. I'm Melissa Wong, I'm a junior at Eastridge High School and the medium I used was graphite. Normally I use graphite, sometimes I also like dabble in like acrylics or like watercolor, but I really like graphite. I think it's like really easy to like cover up any mistakes or like if I notice something's wrong, it's really easy to erase. The thing with graphite, I guess, wait, that was for like, I use, sorry, I use like pencil a lot, which is easy to erase. I think for graphite, it really challenged me. Because a lot of really dark strokes, you cannot erase them. So for this one, this photo was taken by my mom. It was when I was volunteering at a Chinese Spring Festival. And this girl, she really caught my attention because she was so excited. She was jumping around all over the place. The moment she sat down for me to start painting her face, she got quiet. She didn't make a single move. And I really wanted to capture that because I really thought, I really liked her excitement, but also it was really nice to see her just sit there quietly waiting for me to finish. And then afterwards, she saw the face paint I did for her, and she started jumping around again.

Yeah. And so that is from a photo. Yeah. Wonderful. And do you normally...

create art, you know, from a photo or do you do some things just, you know, I think, yeah, a lot of times, uh, I like to take photographs of like things, people like architecture and I like to see what I like. I like maybe like, I like the, how the people look or like the message it sends. And I like, uh, I try to like copy it down either like through like graphite or like even like acrylic. Um, other times I like gather a bunch of different reference materials and like I piece them all together into one. But that's a little harder. So I think my preferred method is having a big reference photo and being able to copy down the elements in it.

Sure. Wonderful. Well, thank you. Wonderful. Where is your artwork?

I think they're shipping it to Washington, D.C., because we're going, I think we're going in late June. Oh, okay. Oh, wonderful. Great.

Thank you. Will you come up and speak a little bit about your piece?

Hello, I'm Will Kongdara, and this is my piece, Bowl of Unity. I did this digitally. I actually did this for the admissions for Perpich Arts High School when I was applying. And then my teacher kind of just approached me, and she was like, hey, do you have anything to submit for this one art show? And I was like, um... I think I do. So I submitted this piece. I wasn't expecting to win at all. But basically what this is about is how food kind of like brings my family together because usually in my house, like we're all pretty busy and we have our different tasks that we do every day. And I feel like whenever we're like hungry is when we all see each other. So we'll all be in the kitchen or doing something. And a lot of the time we'll do like food prep before we cook. So That's another thing because my grandma, she really likes to like put us to work and like work together. So that is a time when we all are working together and seeing each other. And that is kind of like what it's about for me.

May I ask, so how is this created? Is this?

Oh, this is a digital drawing. I find it way more easier for me because it's more efficient and I have like all the tools that I need instead of having to like constantly like clean brushes for like painting or like drawing where you have to constantly erased. I just find it more easy. And yeah, that's pretty much. Sure.

Would you mind telling people, I mentioned that I hadn't heard about Perpich Center for the Arts Education, but just for anybody else who maybe hasn't about the school?

Yeah, I'd say it's a really good experience to become independent. At the time, they had a free offer. If you live 25 five miles away, you get free dorms. So I lived in the dorms. It was nice. I liked the community. All the teachers were really nice and helpful. And I feel like more than a public school, they were really invested in your future because they would ask you like, why do you like the things you like and stuff like that. Compared to like when I'm in public school, I feel like it's more different, like they're not as invested and they're like, well, here's like, here's homework for this. But it's like when you're in art school, they're like, how could you make this better? What could you do to improve yourself? What will make your art more interesting? And that's something that I've thought about a lot more than I have when I was in public school.

And it's only for 11th and 12th graders, correct?

Yes.

Wonderful. Well, would you guys be willing to take photos with us?

Yes.

Okay.

Can we go down and take photos? Whatever you want to do.

You're in charge.

All right, big smiles, you guys, on the count of three. One, two, three. Do a couple more. There we go, we got it.

AND THEN OUR NEXT SPECIAL AND THEN OUR NEXT SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS, ORDER OF BUSINESS, I'M GOING TO INVITE I'M GOING TO INVITE LUKE FISHER UP AND I THINK LUKE FISHER UP AND I THINK YOUR COLLEAGUE EVAN AS WELL. YOUR COLLEAGUE EVAN AS WELL. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A RECOGNITION FROM LEAGUE OF RECOGNITION FROM LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES FOR CITY MINNESOTA CITIES FOR CITY ADMINISTRATOR JEFF DALL SERVICE ADMINISTRATOR JEFF DALL SERVICE TO THE LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA TO THE LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES BOARD.

Thank you so much, Madam Mayor, members of the council. I'm Luke Fisher, Executive Director at the League of Minnesota Cities. I'm the most relieved person in the council chambers tonight when you said we have a special guest and they're going to show us their work. I was like... I don't know what we're gonna do, Evan. But no, that art was fantastic. It was. And what a neat thing to celebrate. It is. We're really happy to be here to see that. As you mentioned, I'm joined by my colleague, Evan Vogel. He is the second vice president at the League of Minnesota Cities and the Cambridge City Administrator. And I think that that's an important thing for you to know when you think about who the league is and what the league is. You know us well, you interact with us all the time, but your city administrator just had a really big impact with us. And so we wanna tell you about who we are and about the impact that he was able to have on the league. So as an organization, we represent 842 of the state's 856 cities. Our largest city is Minneapolis, 425,000 people live there. And our smallest city, do you guys remember from the last time I was here?

We're terrible at trivia.

Oh, no, come on, Council Member Morris.

We're counting on you. Less than 100?

It's less than 100, that's for sure. Now then? What's that? Now then? Is it the city of now then? No, it's not. No. No, it's actually the city of Berry, and they have a population of just 18 people. Now, Berry is located in western Minnesota by Wheaton, and when I say that, people say, where is Wheaton? And I say it's by Morris, and they say, where is Morris? And then it's the bump on the western side.

We do that a lot around here. Where is Morris?

Right? And not talking about you, my friend, absolutely not. But as an organization, we get to interact with elected and appointed officials from across the state, and we do that in a myriad of ways. But one of the ways that you have contributed to us consistently is through our legislative advocacy. As you may know, we have about 175 legislative policies that impact everything that cities do, from housing and land use, to chicken ordinances, to public safety, to human resources, you name it. legislative policies around all of that. And they're all centered on the idea that local officials know what's best for their community and you know how to make the right decisions for the people that live in Woodbury. Every year we have about 250 of our members from across the state that come together to craft and shape those policies and really dial them in and make sure that they're in the place that they need to be. We don't just advocate, though, at the state legislature. We also work on your behalf at the national level with the National League of Cities. We have important partners, too, that do this work with us, like the Municipal Legislative Commission, which you're part of, and Metro Cities, which Jeff was the president of this past year, and by virtue of being in that role, served on our board. So Jeff did kind of two lifts on behalf of the metro area and on behalf of the state and on behalf of your city this past year, which I think is really remarkable and commendable. Now, our board is made up of 19 people from across the state. Evan's from Cambridge, but we've got folks from all over the place that come together and care deeply about the work that you do every day. They make sure that as an organization, we're pointed in the right place and providing the services that you need, so you don't have to worry when you got a question about something that comes up. I always like to tell people we've got about 215 people that work at the league that wake up every single morning thinking about you. And if we're doing our job right, you wake up every morning and don't think about us, right? You usually call us when you're not sure when something bad happens and we're here for that. But it really has been an honor for us to have the opportunity to work with Jeff. I hope you know that he's a leader, not only like in the statewide community at the league, but also he's one of those really respected people at the city management level. And so it's been great for us to have him on our board. He's been a real contributor all the way through. So Jeff, thank you for your service on behalf of our staff. I'm going to turn it over to Evan to talk a little bit about the board.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem and council members. Thank you for having us. As Luke said, my name is Evan Vogel. I'm the city administrator in Cambridge, which is about an hour, hour and 15 minutes north of here. And I'm also the second vice president for the League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors. It's been an honor or it is an honor to be here to recognize city administrator Jeff Dahl. I've gotten to work with him over the last year and it has been an honor and a privilege to see how he works and to be able to serve Minnesota cities alongside him. Jeff joined the board in June of 2025 as the current Metro cities representative, right around the same time he began here in Woodbury. So talk about drinking from a firehouse. He did that and he did it really well. It's been a pleasure to get to know him and to serve alongside of him. Although his tenure on the board is short, he made a meaningful impact through his engagement, his collaboration, and his thoughtful participation. Jeff always has a really unique and grounded perspective. He brings a really earnest sense of what cities need and doesn't try and speak for everybody. He speaks for what he knows and for Woodbury, which is something that's really valuable on a board meant to represent the whole state. Jeff has been especially helpful in continuing the strong partnership between Metro Cities and the League, helping to ensure that cities work together effectively to address the issues facing communities not only here but across the state, as Cambridge isn't the same as Woodbury, but we both have commonalities and we both have things that we want to work on together. We're grateful for his leadership, his perspective, and the kind of humor and thoughtfulness he brought to the board. Jeff, thank you for your service. It's been a pleasure. Appreciate it.

Well, thank you. Yes?

Can we get a picture with him? But we should clap for Jeff, too.

Thanks, Luke and Evan. And just real quick, I just want to appreciate the work you guys do. It was really a privilege to serve on the board, and I really appreciate the patience and the willingness to hire me despite being on it. I mean, there was a lot, and I had to prioritize. I THINK I DID THAT REASONABLY WELL, BUT IT WAS AN HONOR TO SERVE NOT ONLY WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THAT WERE SO COMMITTED, YET OFFERED SUCH A DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE ON BOTH THEIR COMMUNITIES AND WHAT THEIR PERSONAL KIND OF PERSPECTIVES WERE, BUT ALSO SERVE AND SUPPORT THEIR STAFF. BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, LUKE, YOUR STAFF IS ONE OF A KIND. RIGHT UP THERE WITH OUR CITY OF WOODBURY STAFF. So it was a pleasure to serve and support alongside just a great team. And it was, for one year, it seemed like maybe three because there was a lot of stuff and a lot of difficult issues that we discussed and advocated for. And it just goes to show that being on those boards, you know, whether it's some of our other department heads or other departments that serve on other boards that are related to their field, we get a lot of great ideas that we can take back and they can learn from us as well because we're doing a lot of great things here. So thank you.

No, well, thank you. And I do appreciate whenever you guys come out for different reasons, just because I do think it is important for our residents to understand some of these other organizations that help advocate for us as a city for different issues. And I think, Evan, you said it perfectly, which is, There are differences, and that's something we say often is that, you know, particularly on some issues, you know, it's not a one-size-fits-all, but there are sometimes that there are these issues across cities where it allows us to be able to maximize those resources together for a common issue that we're trying to deal with. So, thanks. Should we do a picture?

Do we need a picture? We need a picture, for sure. We need a picture.

All right. We're getting steps in. They're getting steps in. down there again yes come on i feel i always feel weird sometimes up here like i can see when we have all the police officers i mean you stand here i'll I'm standing here. Let's go. One, two, three. One more. One, two, three. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

It's good to see you. Thank you for coming.

Okay, and now we're going to get on to business.

You know, when the league does their annual meeting, we have a great space here in Woodbury that would hold a fantastic amount of people right here in the Twin Cities. You should think about that.

As long as you've got about 1,000 hotel rooms.

I think we do. Jen's got a finished basement. There's five right there.

I think we do. I think we've got some lodging. When we've got 1,000, it's no problem.

Yeah. Pops in the council house. Let's go.

ALL RIGHT, WE ARE MOVING ON TO THE OPEN FORUM PORTION OF THE MEETING. THIS IS WHERE WE WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM, WELL, WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS LAST TIME, ALTHOUGH RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE ONE GREEN SHEET, SO I DON'T THINK WE NECESSARILY NEED TO SPECIFY, BUT JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY, OH, SEE, THERE IS ANOTHER ONE, WHICH IS WE WERE GOING TO DO A MAXIMUM OF THREE PERSONS PER TOPIC THAT ARE ALLOWED TO ADDRESS ACCOUNTS ON SUBJECTS THAT ARE NOT PART OF THE MEETING AGENDA. SO, DANIEL, I DO KNOW WE HAVE YOUR GREEN SHEET, BUT WE'LL ADDRESS THAT FOR YOUR ITEM. PEOPLE WISHING TO SPEAK MUST PEOPLE WISHING TO SPEAK MUST COMPLETE A SIGN-UP SHEET PRIOR COMPLETE A SIGN-UP SHEET PRIOR TO THE START OF THE MEETING, TO THE START OF THE MEETING, GIVE THEM TO STAFF. GIVE THEM TO STAFF. AND THEN YOU ALSO MAY SUBMIT A AND THEN YOU ALSO MAY SUBMIT A QUESTION OR COMMENT VIRTUALLY QUESTION OR COMMENT VIRTUALLY VIA THE Q&A CHAT FEATURE VIA THE Q&A CHAT FEATURE ON THE RIGHT HAND OF ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LIVE EVENT SCREEN. you just need to provide your name and city of, no address anymore, so city of residence with your question for the official record. Speakers will be limited to three minutes each, and then council will listen attentively to the comments, but in most instances, we will not respond at the meeting, and your replies to concerns will be made via letter or phone call within a week. So we will go in order, which is Justin Ropella, and then we'll have Marnie. Thank you.

Hi everyone, my name is Justin Ropella and I am a resident of Woodbury. I'm here because our community remains caught in a cycle of a lack of governance around the resolution regarding ICE presence and violence in Woodbury. We have heard the mayor say some objectively false things like, quote, Operation Metro Surge has gone away, end quote, and we still have over 230% more than the pre-surge number of Border Patrol agents in the Twin Cities terrorizing our citizens. She also said, quote, you're asking for this city to do something that no other cities have done, end quote. despite there being formal ordinances and local protections put in place in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Richfield, Mendota Heights, Chicago, Boston, Portland, San Jose, and other communities. Objectively false. There is a blueprint for this, and the council has a responsibility to the citizens of Woodbury to take action when we demand protections from these egregious federal actions now and in the future. In addition to these false statements, we've heard justification in defense of the current proclamation. However, we do have to be clear about what that proclamation actually is, which is nothing. It is a feel-good document. It is unable to establish a single binding piece of policy. So it doesn't actually do anything. We've also heard the council's concerns about legal risk and enforceability. If you believe the resolution that's been proposed is not appropriately enforceable as written, then workshop it. You have these workshops, workshop it, adjust the language. Every day you decline to do this is a day that you choose to leave our public spaces unprotected and our residents vulnerable. Avoiding a vote on the record is not a strategy for risk management. It is an avoidance of responsibility. It is an absence of leadership. And I'm asking you to stop hiding and avoiding this topic. Bring the resolution to an agenda. If your position is to allow border patrol agents to utilize our parks, community centers, and city-owned property, then state that position clearly and put your vote on a record. We deserve a council that leads with conviction rather than one that cowers in the face of controversy. And my neighbors and I are tired of this delay. We are asking for a policy that creates a predictable, safe environment for every resident. So please do the work to make this enforceable and let the public see exactly where you stand. Thank you.

Thank you.

And Marnie.

Hello, I'm Marnie. I'm a Woodbury resident. I first of all want to thank Justin for getting up here and continuously pushing this subject. I know it might not seem like it from what you see behind you in these meetings, but this is a big issue in Woodbury and I do urge you to take it seriously. Taking that a step further, just the reaction from this council, or more accurately, the lack thereof response, I am concerned about ICE and 287 agreements. So I am asking the city, are we cooperating with ICE? Does the city of Woodbury, does Woodbury PD have 287 agreements in place? Part of what sparked this for me and got me to come up here and face my fear of public speaking is the new public safety center that is being put in. I saw that reel, and I saw something that said, with ample space for our law enforcement partners. So the question arose in my mind, does that mean ICE? So I am formally asking the city, do we have agreements? I look forward to your response. I understand that's not going to happen right now. but however you can get in touch with me. I think it's really important, again, just like Justin said, to know where the council stands on this issue.

She needs to edit.

Correct. If you, so would you, I'll give this back to you, and if you wanted to put whatever best way you wanted to be contacted, and then, yes, we'll have staff follow up.

Great.

Thank you. And then, Ashley, is there anyone online?

I did not see anyone.

Okay. All right. So with that, we'll move on to the consent agenda. All items?

Mayor Pro Tem Santini, can I just, I know nobody is going to want me to do this up here, but I do want to say something, and this is only speaking from me and not for council.

Okay.

I know that it feels like you guys are every resident in Woodbury, but there are people out there who do feel the opposite, and it is up to council to make sure that everybody is heard, not just one group. As far as I know, we do not have 287G, neither does the Washington County Sheriff's Department. So as much as I like to say you're the only group of people and you are the most important group of people, there are other people in the city who feel differently. AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED US.

SO WITH CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, THESE ARE CONSIDERED ROUTINE BY THE CITY AND WILL BE ENACTED BY ONE MOTION AND AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE BY ROLL CALL, ALL OF THE MAJORITY MEMBERS PRESENT. THERE WILL BE NO SEPARATE DISCUSSION OF THESE ITEMS UNLESS A COUNCIL MEMBER OR RESIDENT SIR REQUESTS IN WHICH EVENT THE ITEMS WOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND CONSIDERED A SEPARATE SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION BY THE COUNCIL. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT WISHES TO PULL ANYTHING FROM CONSENT AGENDA?

We should just clarify that our minutes for the last week's meeting are coming at our next council meeting with a delay in transcription. Correct, yes.

And so any members of the public? We haven't received a green sheet on this. Anybody online? And then no council members. So I will seek a motion.

I'll move to approve. I will move to approve consent agenda items A through H. Second.

I HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. I HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. I HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE DISCUSSIONS.

DISCUSSIONS. DISCUSSIONS. SO, ASHLEY, WILL YOU DO THE SO, ASHLEY, WILL YOU DO THE SO, ASHLEY, WILL YOU DO THE ROLL CALL, PLEASE? ROLL CALL, PLEASE?

ROLL CALL, PLEASE? COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS. COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS. COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS. AYE. AYE. AYE. COUNCILMEMBER STAFFORD. COUNCILMEMBER STAFFORD. COUN Steve's favorite. Looking at me? Ashley, I'm assuming you are going to be handling all of these?

That's correct.

All right. Well, so we'll take 7A, the Considered Approval for Third Act Brewery. Do I really have to read all of this? Basically doing an on-sale intoxicating wine and beer liquor license. And so 7A, I will open the hearing.

Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem and members of the council. So you're correct. Third Act Brewery LLC doing business as Third Act Brewery has submitted an application for three separate liquor licenses. So they've applied for an on sale intoxicating wine and beer license, including Sunday and patio sales, as well as a manufacturer's intoxicating liquor brew pub license and a brew pub off sale intoxicating liquor license. Third Act is located at 4120 Radio Drive. There's a map on the screen for your reference. So they're just off radio just south of Bailey. There are two owners of Third Act, Stephen and Deborah Long. Third Act has operated in Woodbury since 2018. And you may recall that Third Act is currently operating with a microbrewer license, a taproom on-sale Sunday license, and a brewer off-sale license. The reason for the new applications this evening is that the owners intend to sell WINE AND HARD CIDER AT THE BREWERY IN ADDITION TO THE BEER THAT IS BREWED THERE, AND THAT REQUIRES APPLICATION FOR THREE NEW LICENSE TYPES. SO THOSE LICENSE TYPES, AGAIN, ARE LISTED THERE. FOR OUR USUAL PROCESS, THE APPLICANT HAS PAID ALL NECESSARY FEES, OUR CITY ATTORNEY HAS REVIEWED THE APPLICATION MATERIALS AND HAS DEEMED THEM ACCEPTABLE, AND THEN WE DID MAIL OUT PUBLIC HEARING NOTICES AHEAD OF THIS EVENING. So with that, the staff recommendation is on the screen, and if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

And I don't, are Steve and Deborah here?

I don't see them. I didn't see them, right? No.

Okay, so I'll make a motion to close the hearing.

Is there anybody else that wants to talk? Anything more? Okay, second.

Person in second, all in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed? All right, so any discussion? I will seek a motion.

I will make a motion to approve the on-sale intoxicating wine and beer liquor license, including Sunday and patio sales, the manufacturer's intoxicating liquor brew pub license, and the brew pub off-sale intoxicating liquor license to Third Act Brewery, DBA Third Act Brewery, located at 4120 Radio Drive.

Second.

That's a first and a second. Any further discussion?

Roll call. Council Member Wilson. Aye. Council Member Stafford. Aye. Council Member Morris.

Aye.

Mayor Pro Tem Santini. Aye.

That passes. And I appreciate the longs, they've been great. I know during COVID, they really stuck through with it. And so it's great to see. All right, we'll go on to item 7B. Approval of LTF Club Operations Company, DBA Lifetime.

Yes, thank you, Mayor Pro Tem, members of the council. So Lifetime, I'm sorry, that's the business name, LTF Club Operations Company Incorporated is the corporation doing business as Lifetime, has applied for an on-sale intoxicating wine and beer license, including Sunday sales. They are located at 675 Commons Drive. So the map there on the screen, they're just east of Radio, just north of Tamarack Road in Woodbury. LTF Club Operations Company is a corporation, so there's no owner that has more than 5% interest in the business. Lifetime intends to sell beer and wine on-site at their facility, which requires an application for an on-sale intoxicating wine and beer license, and they intend to sell on Sundays as well, so requiring the Sunday sales. And then as per usual, all the necessary fees were submitted. Our city attorney has reviewed the application. We did complete a background check for the onsite manager, and there were no findings found there. And then public hearing notices were mailed out ahead of this evening as well. And with that, the staff recommendation is on the screen for you, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

And the hearing is open. I just assumed that that would be evident, but, and so anybody in the audience have anything about this item as anybody representative from lifetime? No. Oh, would you like to speak at all? I haven't prepared anything. You don't have to, if you want to come.

There's a five-slide PowerPoint minimum. I have questions for him, actually. Okay. Thank you for having me.

Basically, our intention is to elevate our, like, member experiences by offering beer and wine sales throughout the week. Really is to just enhance our events that we do, like, workouts, like, regularly, like, monthly special events throughout the summer and stuff like that.

Wonderful. I WOULD BE THE ON-SITE MANAGER.

WONDERFUL. WONDERFUL.

COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS APPARENTLY COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS APPARENTLY HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU.

HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU.

NOT IN THE OPEN HEARING, NOT IN THE OPEN HEARING, THOUGH. NOT IN THE OPEN HEARING, THOUGH.

OKAY, GOT YOU. OKAY, GOT YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. HE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS HE MIGHT HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. FOR YOU. AND THEN, ASHLEY, IS THERE AND THEN, ASHLEY, IS THERE ANYBODY ONLINE? ANYBODY ONLINE? I DON'T SEE ANYONE. I DON'T SEE ANYONE. OKAY.

OKAY.

THEN I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO THEN I W Hearing's closed.

Okay, now I have questions. So is this, this is the first time for lifetime with this application? This is the first, you only need to come up to the microphone, sorry. Yeah, I told you it was a five slide minimum.

It is a first for our Woodbury Club, but it's not first for all the lifetimes. There's quite a few across the Metro that have already established liquor license. Interesting.

I have a quick question. Is this something that the patrons are looking for?

We've had some, like, comments from our patrons who would enjoy it, but it's not, like, a wide whether they're against it or for it type of situation.

So maybe from clarity of some people, it's because you have some lifetime locations that have sort of some co-working spaces and a little bit more of a come spend some time and yes, and so.

I think that's where this, some of these. So I guess you could say in the last couple of years, we've kind of expanded into more of like a country club style aesthetic. And so expanding into, you know, like workspaces or cabanas, like pool decks, that kind of stuff, social aspects that are really just kind of, opening it up to spend more time in the club, spend more money in our individual departments.

You're a business. There it is. We get it. We're a business.

Mayor Pro Tem, they also have wine after yoga sometimes. I've heard.

Really?

So I guess I have some either zoning and or... USE QUESTIONS. USE QUESTIONS. SO I'M LOOKING AT OUR CITY SO I'M LOOKING AT OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND STAFF HERE. ATTORNEY AND STAFF HERE. MAY HE SIT DOWN?

MAY HE SIT DOWN?

YEAH, SORRY. YEAH, SORRY. YOU CAN SIT DOWN. YOU CAN SIT DOWN. SO THIS IS NOT, SO THIS IS NOT, IS THERE A ZONING DIFFERENCE IS THERE A ZONING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEN WE ZONES FOR BETWEEN WHEN WE ZONES FOR SOMETHING FOR HOSPITALITY IN SOMETHING FOR HOSPITALITY IN THIS USE AND THE CURRENTLY THIS USE AND THE CURRENTLY ZONED USE? ZONED USE? THE PERMIT IS ALLOWED, SO MY THE PERMIT IS ALLOWED, SO MY QUESTION IS, IS THE PERMIT IS QUESTION IS, IS THE You wouldn't have brought it to us if it wasn't, but.

I don't think that we differentiate in our commercial districts that specifically where. For hospitality, none? Hospitality versus non-hospitality in the business districts.

So if Amazon wanted to come and put in, apply for a license at Amazon, the new facility that just opened up, Amazon could apply for a license.

I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE. AND IT DEPENDS. AND IT DEPENDS. I'M NOT SURE IF AMAZON IS I'M NOT SURE IF AMAZON IS LICENSED INDUSTRIAL VERSUS LICENSED INDUSTRIAL VERSUS COMMERCIAL, AND THAT MIGHT COMMERCIAL, AND THAT MIGHT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT I THINK MAKE A DIFFERENCE, BUT I THINK OUR GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS, OUR GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICTS, I DON'T THINK WE SPECIFY.

I DON'T THINK WE SPECIFY. BECAUSE THIS IS COMMERCIAL BECAUSE THIS IS COMMERCIAL FOR PUBLIC, WHICH INDUSTRIAL FOR PUBLIC, WHICH INDUSTRIAL IS GENER

And I'm pretty sure Amazon wouldn't put alcohol in there.

Well, I get it from Amazon.

Just a hypothetical.

Just a hypothetical. So my other question, and I'm trying to think through this on the fly here, but from a public safety standpoint, because we're doing on-site for this, we're not doing the packet anymore. the protect your license packet from 1944 whenever we had that? Right, we're not doing that? So from a state liquor license requirement, are they required to My question is, this is a non-standard business element for, they're in fitness, they're not in hospitality, right? This isn't the core business. And so from a public safety standpoint, I want to ensure that what do we have in place, because we no longer, even though we're licensing it, we're not giving them the packet of info. What confidence do we have from a carding standpoint, from a public safety standpoint, from a compliance standpoint? Because again, this isn't the core business.

We would, thank you for the question, Council Member Morris, we would still be conducting compliance checks at this business like we would any other business that's licensed for alcohol sales.

By virtue of getting the license, they're required to comply with the law, and it's not our job to educate them on the law. We just check if they check our boxes to qualify for a license, but it's not our job to train every business in town. It's our job to ensure that they're compliant by doing compliance checks.

Well, then can I ask a question? Do you have a training for the people that would be serving the beer and the wine?

Yes, we follow all state laws, and we work through safe through all of our, like, food, like, regulations, as well as alcohol, so all of our staff would be trained, and anybody that would be running any events that had alcohol involved.

I would assume, given that there's multiple locations that are already doing this, and Lifetime wants to stay in good standing and not have any of their clubs lose a liquor license, because that probably puts other liquor licenses in jeopardy, because one of the questions we ask on the application form is, have you ever had a liquor license revoked or suspended in any other jurisdiction? No.

So I'm assuming then that, I'm sorry, that there will be a specific designated spot for the alcohol to be consumed.

Correct, yeah. We apply for seating in our cafe and our workspace that's located right next to the cafe. But I can't grab over here and just walk around? They would not be able to.

No alcohol allowed on the workout floor?

Correct.

Probably for multiple reasons. I was going to sign up, but now I don't know. Okay. All right, I'm good.

I THINK ACTUALLY ONE LAST I THINK ACTUALLY ONE LAST QUESTION JUST BECAUSE I FEEL QUESTION JUST BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE LIKE IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHICH IS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHICH IS IF A FACILITY LIKE THIS THC IF A FACILITY LIKE THIS THC BEVERAGES THEN THAT WOULD THEN BEVERAGES THEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE LOW POTENCY HEM REQUIRE THE LOW POTENCY HEM REGISTRATION OKAY JUST CHECKING REGISTRATION OKAY JUST CHECKING OKAY OKAY YOU SHOULD DO THAT TOO OKAY YOU SHOULD DO THAT TOO PERFORMANCE ENHANCING MORE MONEY

ALL RIGHT, I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ON-SALE INTOXICATING WINE AND BEER LIQUOR LICENSE INCLUDING SUNDAY SALES TO LTF CLUB OPERATIONS COMPANY, INC., DOING BUSINESSES LIFETIME LOCATED AT 675 COMMONS DRIVE.

I'LL SECOND.

I'VE GOT A FIRST AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS? ASHLEY, CAN WE DO THE ROLL CALL, PLEASE?

COUNCILMEMBER STAFFORD? AYE. COUNCILMEMBER MORRIS? AYE. COUNCILMEMBER WILSON? AYE. MAYOR PROTEM SANTINI?

AYE. That is approved. Thank you, and thanks for expanding your business. Yes.

We appreciate it.

Good luck with it.

Thank you. I would love a bigger lifetime.

All right. Next and last item on the public hearings will be the approval for the main event, Entertainment Incorporated, doing business as main event, also for on-sale intoxicating liquor license, including Sunday sales. I will now open the hearing.

All right, thank you, Mayor Pro Tem and members of the council. Main Event Entertainment Incorporated doing business as Main Event has applied for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license, including Sunday sales. Main Event is located at 540 Bielenberg Drive. This image, which was pulled from Google, shows their future location, which is currently under construction in this photo, but they are located just north of Topgolf. Main Event Entertainment Incorporated is owned by a corporation with no owner having 5% or more interest in the business. The business intends to sell alcohol on the property, which requires application for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license, including Sunday sales. As my standard spiel here, all necessary fees have been submitted. The city attorneys reviewed the application and deemed it acceptable. We did conduct a background check on the on-site manager with no findings that were found. And then public hearing notices were mailed to surrounding properties. I do understand that we have a representative from Main Event here this evening. So if they could be recognized and answer any questions. But otherwise, the staff recommendation is on the screen there and happy to answer any questions you have for staff. Is it Mr. Christians? It is.

Would you like to come up and say anything?

council Daniel Christians legal counsel for me an event really here just answer any questions council members may have on behalf of the business they're very excited to be a part of the community especially up in that growing area it's the first main event in Minnesota they have over 60 nationwide and they're excited to to get open and running and constructions well underway I drove by it on the way here and Alex great so happy to answer any questions council may have perfect

Do you have an anticipated opening date?

There is an anticipated opening date. I knew you were going to ask that. August 3rd, and they're looking to begin training employees, hiring employees June 15th, and then begin training on July 20th. And they're looking at approximately 110 to 120 employees. Gotcha.

Wonderful. The hearing is still open. Anybody else in the audience have anything on this item? Ashley, anything online? Then I will make a motion to close the hearing. Second. Motion and a second. All in favor, say aye.

Aye. Am I the only one? No, hi.

The hearing is closed. Any questions or comments from council?

No. No? All right.

I'll make a motion to approve the on-sale intoxicating liquor license, including Sunday sales to Main Event Entertainment, Inc., for their business located at 540 Bielenberg Drive.

SECOND. FIRST AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL, ASHLEY.

COUNCIL MEMBER MORRIS. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER WILSON. AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER STAFFORD. AYE.

And that also passes, wonderful. Well, and thank you also for coming into Woodbury and yes, I think you have a lot of people, I was gonna say, I think you'll have a lot of people excited.

All right, thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. We have no discussion items and so we're onto staff reports and Chris is gonna give us an update about how to get around.

Is anything going on, Chris? Yeah, a few things. Good luck getting around, that's all I got to say.

That's a little on the nose.

yeah you know i gotta say i feel like uh both woodbury cottage grove and newport have conspired against me to get my kids to school on time yeah and get to work on time welcome welcome yeah it's my own fault so projects uh actively under construction include the water treatment plant pipeline projects valley creek road trail project the bailey road and fairway drive traffic signal the 2026 road rehab woodland Drive pavement rehab the Bailey Road and Settlers Ridge Parkway intersection improvement and the Bailey Road and Manning Avenue intersection improvement So currently with the water treatment plant pipelines, if you look at the top half of the map, westbound Valley Creek Road east of Woodbury Drive remains reduced to one lane, and that'll be through the end of June. Westbound Valley Creek Road is closed from Woodbury Drive to Interlochen Parkway with phased reopening throughout the summer. Side streets north of Valley Creek Road along that closed section will be closed intermittently as the go across with crossings, but they'll still remain open most of the time for traffic going eastbound and then northbound. Colby Lake Drive is closed north of Valley Creek Road to Courtland Road through late June. If you look on the south end of the map or the bottom half, since our last transportation update, you'll notice Bailey Road has been reopened to traffic on Friday, May 15th. Southbound Pioneer Drive is closed from Bailey Road to Hargis Parkway and is anticipated to reopen to traffic in the next week. Radio Drive is currently closed between Bailey Road and Cobblestone Ashford through early June. Work on Hargis Parkway is scheduled to start on June 8th after the school year ends and be completed prior to school starting in the fall. Work is split into two phases to maintain access to East Ridge High School Driveways starting on the east half and ending on the west half of the road. And all of that construction has been coordinated with the contractor around the 4th of July celebration at the Sports Center. So immediately behind the water pipeline construction on Valley Creek Road, a new trail is being constructed on the north side of Valley Creek Road from an existing trail located east of Dancing Waters Parkway to the Colby Lake Park underpass. This has been in our CIP for almost seven years running. And so we're really happy to coordinate this project with this work and be able to accomplish this important connection. The Bailey Road and Fairway Drive traffic signal, utility work, lane modifications, and paving are complete. The signal mast and signal mast arms will be installed over the next month, and the signal is anticipated to be operational in July. For the 2026 road rehab, phase two, noted in blue, is progressing with utility installation and service connections continuing into mid-June. In early July, phase two is anticipated to be complete and phases one and three are anticipated to begin. So phases one is yellow and phase three is pink. This is an image showing trench excavation to install sanitary sewer along Rimbley Road. This is the portion that we're correcting to get outside of, it was outside the roadway, we're now putting it back in the roadway. Wood Lane Drive, the project began on May 26th between Wooddale Drive and Courtly Road. Starting June 8th after the school year ends, construction along Wood Lane Drive from Courtly Road to Bailey Road will begin. This work will be completed before school starts in the fall. One-way traffic will be maintained along Wood Lane Drive. A detour route will be established in coordination with each phase. And project phasing is coordinated with the water treatment plant pipeline projects, Woodbury High School and Woodbury Days. Construction on the parade route will be completed prior to Woodbury Days. And we are monitoring traffic along that section of road to see if people are cutting through on Queens. And we have those portable signs for speed, the portable speed limit signs. Chris, can I just ask a question? Yep.

So I think, when will the Radio Drive Bailey intersection open up?

That is coming up, but that's going to be open here in the next week, mid part of June. Next two weeks. And then Bailey Road and Settlers Ridge, Parkway intersection improvement. A new roundabout is under construction at the intersection of Bailey Road and Settlers Ridge, Parkway and Cottage Grove Drive. This is a Washington County project, so you can sign up for project updates at WashingtonCountyMN.gov forward slash county18, and you click on notify me. And on the east end of Bailey Road, it's the Bailey Road-Manning Avenue intersection project. This is a MnDOT project, and they're constructing a new roundabout at that intersection. Yesterday, construction began in the bypass to the east of the existing intersection. So if you see the little blue line going around, they're allowing continuous traffic if you're going on Manning Avenue, north and southbound. However, Bailey Road will be closed to traffic in mid-June. For the duration of that roundabout construction, so you're talking October at the very earliest, residents can sign up to receive project updates on the project webpage. As far as roadway and trail closures maps for all construction residents can view current road closures trail closures and detour routes on the water treatment plant project web page at Woodbury MN gov forward slash water treatment and Not quite as active in changes as last year, but still a lot going on with phasing depending on whether How fast the contractor is moving other types of material availability? so if you really want the most up-to-date um don't wait for the once a month council council transportation updates go on this website and you'll get all of that current information it's always up to date and of course uh sign up for all of our projects through in touch and you can receive updates directly emailed to you about any of the projects as shown on the screen with that do you have any questions rejuvenation projects uh i'm not sure when those are beginning

What was the rejuvenation project? Is it year two or the year after?

It's a year after and then five years after. So this is the first year we're going back with some cycling, some pretty large roadway projects. So we have a pretty big rejuvenation project.

We can send you the latest on Friday.

Because we didn't do it in Royal Oaks. Is this the year for Royal Oaks rejuvenation? That hasn't been done yet, but it will be done.

They're currently working on punch list items in Royal Oaks, fixing concrete and other types of items. Okay. But we think it'll be this year? I believe so, yes. If you can follow up, that would be great. Yep, I'll follow up.

So we have two different crews going. One on Wood Lane is not the same reason Radio and Bailey are shut down. So is there going to be a coordination between that? Because the detour route is Radio and Bailey.

That's correct. There's a lot of coordination going between all the different projects.

You're in charge of that.

My team is in charge of that. I'll be clear.

But you're saying also Radio and Bailey should be open mid-June, late June?

So Radio is going to be open, I think, probably the second week in June. It's open pretty soon. They just got to finish with that crossing. Bailey Road is currently open. You can go northbound on Pioneer Drive. And so that will be open fairly soon, and Radio Drive will be back open before a lot of that work occurs.

And Wood Lane is expected to close then for the detour?

Correct. And there's detours around through there.

When is that again, mid-June, first week of June? That's what I'm trying to point out, I guess.

So if we look at the phase one, early June to mid-August, you've got the section between Bailey Road all the way up to Lake Road. And the detour is south, if you go east on Lake Road, and then southbound on Radio Drive. So the section that you're talking about, the closure for Radio Drive, is north of Valley Creek Road, correct? Yeah, it's the Bailey to Radio.

It's closed.

Correct.

Yeah.

And that's the detour route?

Not really.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm looking at a map here. I took it today.

I hit Wood Lane over to Lake, Lake over to Pioneer, Pioneer up because everything was closed.

I'm sorry.

That section is currently open.

What? What is? The Pioneer is open.

Yeah, Pioneer. We're talking about two different sections. Well, Pioneer is open, but Radio's not. Correct. Radio not, yes.

Right, and what Kim is saying is that on this, that's supposed to start early June, is Radio down to Bailey- IS THE DETOUR ROUTE OF IF YOU WERE TO GO ON WOOD LANE.

BUT RADIO AND BAILEY ISN'T GOING TO BE OPEN WHEN THE WOOD LANE IS CLOSED.

CORRECT.

SO THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENT DETOUR ROUTE. THAT'S OKAY. EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT, I GUESS.

I'M CONFUSED.

ARE WE CLOSING WOOD LANE AND BAILEY? ARE WE CLOSING THAT NORTHBOUND BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GET NORTH ON RADIO TO BAILEY? So is that gonna reopen before we close Wood Lane is the question?

Yes, Radio Drive is open in the first week or two. The first couple of closures, they're gonna leave that open for a little bit before they do a full closure. Yeah. Yes. Okay. All of that's been coordinated.

Good luck. Jeff, city administrators update?

A tough act to follow there. Yeah, a couple things, Mayor Pro Tem. First, just want to acknowledge a couple events that we recently held, or that were recently held here within the community. On Monday, it was our Memorial Day event, and I just want to say thank you all of those that attended, especially those who led and participated in the actual event and the program. The space was in perfect shape, so shout out to Parks and Rec and our public works staff. And it was all in all such a nice tribute led by so many community members to, of course, honor the legacy of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The tribute included a three-round cannon salute, a couple of them, as well as a flyover, which I've never seen before an event like that. So that was really special. We were under the trees. We didn't see it either. Well, you were cool under the trees. So a special thanks to the American Legion, VFW, and the Lions for hosting, and great job, Mayor Pro Tem, on your presentation as well. Also, before tonight's meetings, there was the opening day or the first pitch of the Miracle League. It's the showcase of a long and prosperous season that was held at M Health Fairview Sports Center staff participated as well as Mayor Pro Tem who threw out the first pitch, all in honor of the Miracle Field and the East Metro folks who come from all over the region to play. A lot of wonderful athletes there. Great to see all of them with their families and special thanks to our Parks and Rec team for coordinating that. AS WELL AS THE ROTARY WHO ARE VERY INVOLVED, THEY LEAD THE CELEBRATION OF THAT AND ALSO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE ACTUAL FIELD ITSELF. THE FIELD IS REALLY SPECIAL. IT'S REALLY A SPECIAL AMENITY FOR THE ENTIRE REGION. THEY FLOCK TO IT AND THAT WAS EVIDENT TODAY. LOOKING FORWARD, TWO THINGS. The city will again host an educational Juneteenth trail walk behind City Hall with additional displays also this year at Colby Lake in Ojibwe Park. The holiday, of course, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S. was first celebrated in 1865 and became a Minnesota state holiday in 2023. THE TRAILWALK WILL BE AVAILABLE THE TRAILWALK WILL BE AVAILABLE THE TRAILWALK WILL BE AVAILABLE STARTING JUNE 1ST, SO STARTING JUNE 1ST, SO STARTING JUNE 1ST, SO STARTING MONDAY, AND OFFERS COMMUNITY MONDAY, AND OFFERS COMMUNITY MONDAY, AND OFFERS COMMUNITY MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HOLIDAY AS MORE ABOUT THE HOLIDAY AS MORE ABOUT THE HOLIDAY AS A RELATIVELY NEW KIND OF NOTED OR RECOGNIZED HOLIDAY AND ALL THE HISTORY THAT RELATES TO IT IN JUNE 19TH BEING DESIGNATED A DAY OF REST IN THE STATE AND DAY TO HONOR THAT HOLIDAY. AND A REMINDER THAT CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED IN THAT RECOGNITION. IF RESIDENTS WANT TO FIND MORE ON THE TRAIL WALKS AND MAPS, GO TO OUR WEBSITE. IT'S ALL ON THERE. Lastly, tomorrow we are having a weed poll, and we are looking for volunteers. Last-ditch effort of mine to get more volunteers at Hassenbank Park. I can't find the ad, but it starts, I believe, from 9 to noon. And anybody that wants to come out and help pull weeds, buckthorn, garlic mustard, we'll take all hands. So if you have some aggression to let out, come by.

What are you looking at me for?

Is this a community? What is this? Did you just hear about this? Did you just make this up?

No, this is in our publication.
