PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Adopted 2025 budget on December 2, 2024. The council approved the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters
and monthly financial reports through October 2025.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Cash/investment presented as November 30, 2025. Budget to actual reports attached for Council review.
The cash and investment balance increased $1,034,133 from the beginning of the year. The 2025 bond
proceeds were received in Oct. Payments for the roundabout and 2025 street projects are ongoing that
will draw down the bond proceeds. The second half bond payments and tax/state aid receipts will be
paid and received in Nov and Dec.
Investment earnings average 3.73% interest rate with an average maturity of 25 months. Interest
earnings for November equaled $31,498 on an ending cash balance of $27,034,625. The change in
market value increased $31,468 in November. Recorded interest earnings as of November 30th total
$996,430.
The General Fund spent 93% of the expenditure budget and received 65% of the revenue budget at the
end of November. While revenues and expenditures are operational in nature, there are a couple of
items to point out. Interest earnings plus the change in market value of investments is $120,191 over
budget. We budget conservatively since the market value adjustments can fluctuate both ways
depending upon economic conditions. Building permit revenue is over budget by $19,171 before the
Kueppers apartment permit is issued in December, 116% of the budget. Police state aid is over budget by
$49,302. We budget conservatively for this state aid. Software support is over budget in a few line items
as the city changed Shift Tech manages services to a gold plan to enhance the cybersecurity protections.
Engineering fees show over budget; however, there will be a journal entry to cover some of the
engineering fees with development escrows received in 2025. A few capital expenditures were incurred.
The city purchased the Casey’s building, spending down reserves and was unbudgeted. The Lanigan Way
pedestrian crossing will show the expenditure and revenue, both unbudgeted, in the debt relief fund.
Squad 703 and 705 plus equipment buildout, ACA and CIP software, mechanical tools, police camera
equipment, pickleball courts, scissor lift, and 2025 computer replacements. The transfer out of the
general fund is mostly due to moving the Minnesota Street turnback funds from Stearns County to the
2025 Minnesota Street overlay project.
The Enterprise funds spent 59% (less depreciation) and received 83% of the revenue budget. The revenue
includes usage billed for Jan. through Oct. Other revenues such as interest earnings and cellular antenna
leases are received monthly. Expenses are for eleven operational months. The water fund incurred costs
associated with water main breaks with the extreme cold and warm up in Jan/Feb. Operating supplies
and professional services under water distribution are significant. The 500 cellular meter conversion
project was completed in August. The final year of the conversion project will be in 2026 with about 480
meters left to convert. The meters and end points for 2026 were ordered to ensure delivery by summer.
The order came in already and reflected expense will be reported in 2025 in the water fund. In the sewer
fund, a permanent diesel generator was installed at the CR121 lift station. Other expenses are
operational in nature for November including contract payments for sewer treatment, refuse/recycling
and composting. The new utility truck was expended out of the enterprise funds. A portion of the scissor
lift was expensed out the street light utility fund.

4e – TA Grant Resolution
ACTIONS REQUESTED
Approval of resolution 2025-077 which commits the city to maintenance of the proposed trail connection,
submittal of grant application, and commitment of funds should the grant application be awarded.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Planning Commission, Park Board, Council, and staff all provided input and prioritized the trail/sidewalk
projects in 2022 as part of an update to the City’s Master Transportation Plan. This prioritization effort
resulted in staff moving projects forward including this project which was identified as one of three top
trail/sidewalk priorities.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION See above note.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
In 2022 city staff lead discussion with the Park Board, Planning Commission, and Council in an effort to
prioritize trail/sidewalk projects specifically gap projects. Three projects arose to the top. These projects and
details are noted below:
Project Notes Planned funding source
Downtown sidewalk gaps Multiple gap connections
including:
2nd Ave NE from The House
Food and Tap to Birch Street
Sidewalk on East side of College
adjacent to St. Bens parking lot
Sidewalk on East side of College
adjacent to Obbink
2nd Ave NE is planned to be
completed in 2026 provided
quotes come under the budgeted
amount.
Other gap projects are TBD for
funding. City did submit a TA
grant in 2023 for these projects
but grant was not awarded.
Baker Street sidewalk Sidewalk on Southside of Baker
Street connecting from 7th Ave
SE to 18th Ave SE
Sidewalk will be completed
during street
reconstruction/improvement.
Assessments will help fund the
street reconstruction
Trail connecting River’s Bend
Park to College Ave S trail at
Jade Road
10’ asphalt multi-use trail.
Portions will travel through
School District property (letter of
support will be included)
Grant funds.
If not grant funds the city would
need to save, and budget and pay
for the project completely out of
pocket (trail would not be able to
capture any street
reconstruction/assessments due
to the location of trail not being
on a city street)
Rationale for moving this trail project forward - With some downtown gaps set for 2026 completion,
Baker Street gaps tied to future reconstruction projects, and River’s Bend Park now complete, staff
recommends advancing the River’s Bend–College Ave S trail connection through this grant application
especially considering this trail segment is dependent on grant or city funds only (street construction or
assessments would not be applicable). Letters of support from the County, St. Cloud School District, and
CLC Partners (who owns portion of land trail will cross through) will be provided with the grant
application.
BUDGET IMPACT Budget costs - $233,143.32 (2030 Fiscal year dollars)
If grant is awarded grant would cover approximately $286,945.63 (80% of the actual
construction costs)
Total project cost including local costs, grant amounts, etc = $520,088.95.
If awarded, the city could advance the project before 2030 by paying all costs upfront and waiting until 2030
for reimbursement, but this is not recommended. The project would be recommended and scheduled for 2030
dollars and budget.

Dear Municipal Administrator,
Tri-County Humane Society’s animal impound partnership with local municipalities positively impacts
the health, safety, and well-being of all members of our shared community. Thank you for seeing the
importance of this partnership for the welfare of both pets and people. We look forward to our
partnership with you in 2026.
We understand how important reliable, effective, and efficient impound services are for you and the
people you serve. We take pride in the services we provide and strive to continuously add process
improvements. Below are a few updates to our services and fee schedule that we would like to highlight
as we move into the new contract year:
1. As we started in 2025, we will continue to inform designated authorities via email within 24
hours of an animal’s impoundment with the location found and animal information. Should you
wish to dispute an animal impoundment (i.e. found location is outside of your jurisdiction),
please email pets@tricountyhumanesociety.org within the animal impound holding period.
2. We will no longer offer impound services for animal on human bite quarantines for animals with
a known owner or for animal-on-animal bite quarantines. Should the owner of an animal choose
to surrender their pet to TCHS we will work directly with that owner to facilitate a quarantine
and potential humane euthanasia outcome. If your municipality requires a quarantine on an
animal with a known owner who does not wish to surrender their pet to TCHS we would
encourage you to utilize an in-home quarantine option, or quarantine at the owner’s expense a
veterinarian clinic. We will continue to offer quarantine and impound services for stray,
safekeeping or cruelty holds that also need a bite quarantine hold.
3. Explanation of new fee structure for provided services.
a. Admin fee for stray reclaims facilitated by TCHS: this will be charged to the municipality
for stray reclaims processed by TCHS. Owner will still be responsible for additional
impound fees due to TCHS at the time of reclaim.
b. Stray fees (excluding strays on bite quarantine): this will be charged to the municipality
for all unclaimed stray impounds.
c. Safekeeping/Seized fee (excluding animals on bite quarantine): this will be charged to the
municipality as a per day fee for all impounds. For example, if the intake date is 11/1/25
Tri-County Humane Society
735 8th Street NE St. Cloud, MN 56304 | PO Box 701 St. Cloud, MN 56302 | 320.252.0896
csm@tricountyhumanesociety.org | www.tricountyhumanesociety.org
(day zero), animal is reclaimed by owner on 11/5/25 (day 4), municipality is billed for 4
days of the safe keeping hold fee.
d. Stray/Safekeeping bite quarantine fee: this will be charged to the municipality as a per
day fee for all impounds.
e. Dead on arrival disposal fee: this will be charged to the municipality for any found
animal that is DOA at the time of impound.
4. We want to reiterate our Return to Field program options and protocols for citizens struggling
with outdoor feral community cat colonies. Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) and Return to Field
(RTF) programs have become widely accepted as an effective means of managing feral
community cat colonies world-wide. Rather than impoundment, TCHS will continue to offer
Return to Field (RTF) services. This will include spaying/neutering, ear tipping, administering
rabies and distemper vaccines, and returning the cat to their property. Cats may qualify if they
are deemed feral, unsocial and healthy appearing. We will work with the citizens harboring the
cats to arrange live-trapping and transportation to and from our shelter when feasible. If you
would like to learn more about our RTF services for controlling feral community cat colonies in
your municipality, or if you thought your residents would like more information about using this
program, please reach out to TCHS for more details. *Please note: If a feral cat is trapped whose
ear has been tipped, it has likely already been through an RTF program and has an outdoor
"home."
Please review the attached agreement, sign and return the full signed copy by mail or email to TCHS by
December 31, 2025. Handwritten edits to this contract will not be accepted. If you have any questions
regarding the contract, please reach out to me directly.
We appreciate your partnership as we seek to serve the people and animals of central Minnesota.
Sincerely,
Kari Boehmer

care within the shelter’s capacity as necessary.
k. Respond to all inquiries that are received by TCHS in respect to the impounded animals,
keeping a log of lost and found reports and cross-referencing each list regularly to
facilitate reclaims.
l. Prior to an animal’s impoundment, when practical and possible, TCHS and the
municipality will check for microchip and tag identification and attempt to return the
animal to its owner. The municipality may choose to impound any stray animal when the
animal or its owner has been subject to known animal control issues and/or
investigations.
m. Assume ownership and financial responsibility from the municipality for
unclaimed impounded animals beyond the times provided in this contract (i.e. on the
1st day after stray or safekeeping hold is complete or on the 2nd day
after a stray/safekeeping bite quarantine is complete.)
n. Invoice to the municipality clerk via email quarterly (April, July, October, January) for
impounded animals per the fee schedule below.
o. Comply with all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances applicable to the Services to
be performed under this Agreement, including all safety standards. TCHS shall be solely
and completely responsible for all conditions of the service site, including the safety of
all persons and property during the performance of the Services.
TCHS represents and warrants that it has the requisite training, skills, and experience
necessary to provide the Services, is appropriately licensed by all applicable agencies and
governmental entities and will perform the Services with reasonable care and skill.
2. That the municipality agrees to:
a. Deliver stray and seized animals within the municipality to TCHS.
b. Seek alternative veterinary care for animals, when practical and possible, if (1) the
necessary veterinary care is beyond the capacity of TCHS; or
(2) the municipality disagrees with or wants a second opinion concerning the health of an
animal. When not practical and possible to seek alternative veterinary
care, the municipality understands that TCHS is not a full-service veterinary clinic; if

humane and appropriate outcome.

of any animal impound within 24 hours of impoundment.
d. Notify TCHS within the legal holding period of 5 business days for stray animals or 10

Personnel Policy Amendment
Priority: NA
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve Personnel Policy Amendment to section 11.10: Exempt Employee years of service pay.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
none
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Council adopted Personnel Policy 9-1-2020 with an amendment on 12-18-23 for ESST
implementation.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
City currently provides longevity pay to eligible exempt employees as part of its compensation and
retention program. The city desires to modernize its compensation practices and align benefits with
current workforce preferences and Minnesota pay equity requirements. Staff recommend shifting
longevity pay to employer-paid deferred compensation contributions under Internal Revenue Code
Section 457(b) or to the employee’s health savings account (HSA) that provides employees an
opportunity to save pre-tax dollars toward retirement and supports long-term employee retention. The
City has reviewed administrative, legal, and financial considerations associated with converting the
longevity pay program into an employer contribution into the City’s 457(b) deferred compensation plan
or HSA contribution, and the proposed change does not increase the overall cost of the program and is
allowable within IRS contribution limits and the City’s adopted Personnel Policies.
Amended language Section 11.01 of the Personnel Policy (just the last sentence amendment):
Exempt employees shall receive $20 per year of service, paid after December 1st of each year, to the
employee’s City 457(b) deferred compensation plan or health savings account.
BUDGET IMPACT
The city will save on payroll taxes for the benefit paid into deferred compensation or health

from the office for four(4)hours or more, on a given day. Absences of less than four(4)
hours do not require use of paid leave as it is presumed that the staff inember regularly
puts in work hours above and beyond the normal 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through
Friday requirement. Exempt employees must communicate their absence to the city
administrator or his/her designee.
If one of the above employees is regularly absent from work under this policy and it is
found that there is excessive time away from work that is not justified,the situation will
be handed as a performance issue.
lf it appears that less than forty(40)hours per week is needed to fu1fi11 the position's

meetings provides both the supervisor and the employee the opportunity to discuss what
is expected,what is going well and not so well.
12.03 Acknowledgement. Signing of the performance review document by the employee
acknowledges the review has been discussed with the supervisor and does not necessarily
constitute agreement. Failure to sign the document by the employee will not delay
processing.

Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave Policy
Priority: NA
ACTION REQUESTED
Approval of the Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave Policy to ensure the City’s compliance
with state law and to formally establish how PFML benefits will coordinate with existing City
leave benefits.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
none
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
none
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
Beginning January 1, 2026, the State of Minnesota requires all employers, including cities, to participate
in the Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program. The program provides employees with
partial wage replacement for qualifying family and medical leave events. The City’s proposed policy
outlines compliance with state requirements and establishes how PFML benefits will coordinate with
existing City-paid leave programs.
Key Policy Elements
1. Mandatory Participation
The PFML program is a statewide insurance program administered by the Minnesota Department of
Employment and Economic Development (DEED). The City of St. Joseph is opting a private plan, UNUM,
versus the State’s plan and was approved by the state. All City employees are covered.
2. Premium Sharing (50/50)
• The state sets an annual PFML premium rate.
• The city and employees will share the premium equally, with employees’ portions deducted from
payroll.
• The city will remit both shares to UNUM (private plan), as required.
Employee Benefits
Employees approved by UNUM may receive partial wage replacement for:
• Their own serious health condition
• Bonding with a new child
• Caring for an ill family member
• Certain military-related family needs
Benefit amounts and eligibility are determined by UNUM, not the City.
4. Coordination With City Paid Leave
To avoid loss of income during PFML:
• Employees may elect to use City-provided paid leave (ESST, vacation, comp time, etc.) to
supplement PFML benefits up to 100% of their usual bi-weekly pay.
• Employees are not required to use City paid leave but may opt to do so.
• Combined PFML benefits and City paid leave may not exceed the employee’s regular earnings.
5. Job Protection and Benefits Continuation
• Employees taking PFML receive job protection as required by state law.
• The City will continue employer-provided health insurance during PFML, with employees
responsible for their usual share of premiums.
6. Employee Responsibility for Claims
Employees must apply directly to UNUM PFML program for benefits and notify City Administrator of
leave needs following the timeline required by law.
BUDGET IMPACT
City and employees will contribute a payroll tax for PFML based on gross wages.
There will be a potential cost to cover a job while an employee is out on PFML.

Minnesota Paid Leave Policy
Purpose
This policy is established to comply with the Minnesota Paid Leave Law, which establishes a
public insurance program administered by the Minnesota Department of Employment and
Economic Development (“DEED”), providing eligible employees with paid leave for family and
medical reasons beginning January 1, 2026 (“MPL”). The City of St. Joseph provides MPL
benefits to eligible employees through an approved equivalent plan administered by the City of
St. Joseph’s designated MPL insurance carrier, UNUM, instead of through DEED. This plan
provides time off, payments, and job protections that are equal to or greater than those offered
under the Minnesota Paid Leave Law. The MPL plan is funded by premium contributions
payable to UNUM and split between employers and employees pursuant to Minn. Stat. sec.
268B.14, subd. 3.
Employee Application and Eligibility
To apply for MPL benefits, employees must apply with UNUM by filing a claim online, by
phone or mobile device, or by paper form. Information for the claim process is available with
the City of St. Joseph Finance Department.
Employee eligibility based on such application is determined solely by UNUM.
Employee Notification Required
Employees must provide the City of St. Joseph with at least thirty (30) days’ notice before their
MPL begins if the need for leave is foreseeable. If the leave is not foreseeable, employees must
notify the City of St. Joseph as soon as possible.
If the employee does not provide the City of St. Joseph with at least thirty (30) days’ notice when
the need for leave is foreseeable, the employee must explain why it was not possible or
practicable upon request from the City of St. Joseph.
In addition, employees are required to comply with any and all City of St. Joseph policies and
procedures for requesting leave, including but not limited to: the City of St. Joseph Personnel
Policy and bargaining unit contracts. Employees that fail to comply with relevant City of St.
Joseph policies and procedures are subject to discipline, up to and including termination from
employment.
Certification and Documentation Requirements
Employees seeking MPL benefits are required to provide copies of any certification of eligibility
or other relevant medical documents to the City Administrator on the same day that they are
submitted to UNUM for MPL benefit consideration.
city of st. joseph

2 | Page
Intermittent Leave
Employees taking intermittent MPL are required to provide the City of St. Joseph with a
schedule of the workdays the employee needs off as soon as possible. Employees taking
intermittent leave must make a reasonable effort to schedule the intermittent leave.
Consistent with other forms of leave provided by the City of St. Joseph, employees may take
intermittent leave in increments of a minimum of one calendar day. If eligible for intermittent
leave, the City of St. Joseph allows a maximum of 480 hours of intermittent leave in any 12-
month period. After reaching the maximum amount of allowed intermittent leave, employees
may request continuous MPL provided the continuous leave does not exceed the maximum
amount of MPL allowed by law.
Concurrent Leaves
Employees taking MPL, whether intermittently or continuously, that are concurrently eligible for
Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and/or pregnancy/parenting leave under Minn. Stat.
sec. 181.941 will automatically be placed on such leaves to run concurrently with MPL.
Supplemental Concurrent Benefits
Employees are permitted to use their available paid time off as a supplemental concurrent benefit
while on leave under MPL. The paid time off plus wages paid through MPL may not exceed
100% of the employee’s base wage.
Health Insurance
Employees taking MPL will continue to be covered under the City of St. Joseph’s group health
insurance plan under the same conditions and at the same level of the City of St. Joseph’s
contributions as would have been provided had they been continuously employed during the
leave period. Employees are responsible for their portion of premiums due on the coverage.
Employee premiums must be paid to city offices by 5th of the month of coverage via check or
cash. Payroll deductions may continue as long as the employee is paid for work or supplemental
paid time off.
MPL Fraud
An employee is guilty of theft if they obtain or attempt to obtain benefits to which the individual
is not entitled. Reporting false information to UNUM and/or the City of St. Joseph will be cause
for discipline, up to and including termination.

Lobbying Efforts Lift Station – Industrial Park Extension
ACTION REQUESTED
Approval of Lobbying Contract with Flaherty & Hood.
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
N/A.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
N/A.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The City contracted with Flaherty & Hood last year to lobby on our behalf to include the CR 2
Infrastructure Extension into the upcoming bonding bill and to advocate for the Community
Center Project.
The request last year was for the CR 2 Infrastructure Extension. The City’s focus shifted from the
CR 2 project to serve the SW section of the City near the 94 Interchange to a Lift Station which
will allow the continued growth and expansion of the Industrial Park.
Flaherty & Hood is offering to contract with us again for the 2026 Legislative Session at the same
rate and same conditions as 2025.
Darrin Lee would be the primary lobbyist again this session. The discussion I have had with Mr.
Lee reflect the increased likelihood of this request being funded vs the previous years request.
This is due to the lower dollar amount being requested and the documented success of the
current industrial park.
The Senate and House bonding committees have both stopped at the City on their bonding tours
and we have received positive feedback from them.
My recommendation to the Council is to approve the contract as lobbying is a very specialized
profession and utilizing a lobbyist can greatly increase the chance of success.
BUDGET IMPACT
The contract is for a total fee of $20,000 to be paid in two increments of $10,000 each. The first
installment would be due at the beginning of January and the second at the beginning of April.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of the contract.

Conditions. In the granting of its approval, City Council may impose conditions regarding the location,
character and other features of the proposed building, structure or use as it may deem
advisable in the furtherance of the purposes of this Ordinance. Violation of any such
condition is a violation of this Ordinance. These conditions may include but are not

more than 80%
• The two subject parcels shall be combined into one parcel since storage area is proposed over the
shared lot line of the two parcels
• Revocation and expiration language along with amendment language
If a Conditional Use permit were to be denied substantial recommendations and determinations with
findings that state, the use is not in compliance with city ordinances would need to occur.
Variance
The C.U.P. proposal of outside storage includes a request to deviate from required surfacing standards.
Ordinance requires parking surfaces to be constructed of asphalt, concrete, or hard surface. The variance
proposal is requested so the applicant can put crushed granite surfacing on the site. The crushed granite
surface will only be placed within the site where the storage of vehicles will occur.
Variances shall meet all state statutory requirements which include:
a) Criteria. A variance shall only be permitted if all of the following facts and conditions exists:
1. The variance is consistent with the adopted St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan.
2. The variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Ordinance.
3. The applicant establishes that there are practical difficulties in complying with the zoning
ordinance. Practical difficulties as used in connection with the granting of a variance shall mean:
a. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the zoning ordinance.
b. The plight of the landowner is due to the circumstances unique to the property
not created by the landowner
c. The variance, if granted will not alter the essential character of the locality.
4. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute practical difficulties under the terms of this
Ordinance.
5. Practical difficulties shall include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for
solar energy systems.
6. Variances shall be granted for earth sheltered construction as defined in MN Statute 216C.06,
Subd. 14 as may be amended, when in harmony with the zoning ordinance.
7. Additional Conditions: If granting a variance, the City Council may impose conditions to ensure
compliance with this Ordinance and to protect adjacent properties.
A resolution to approve and a resolution to deny the variance are included. The Council must determine
whether the request meets statutory requirements. Although the City has approved similar requests in the
past, each variance must be evaluated individually against the established criteria.
One condition of the C.U.P. states that if the variance is approved, the crushed granite surface must be
upgraded to asphalt, concrete, or another approved hard surface at the time a future building is constructed,
and a Site Plan is submitted. This ensures the site does not remain indefinitely with crushed surfacing and
that full build-out of the site in the future will include appropriate site improvements.
The City Council should also consider potential ordinance amendments if similar surfacing requests
continue to arise through variance proposals.

RESOLUTION 2025-076
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT TO APPROVE A VARIANCE TO THE
MINIMUM PARKING LOT STANDARDS
WHEREAS, MPBC Property Management, LLC, “applicant” and “owner” of property has
properly applied for a variance to the minimum parking lot standards on the subject property identified in
Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, the St. Joseph Planning Commission held a public hearing on the variance request on
December 8th, 2025, at which time all persons wishing to be heard regarding the matter were given an
opportunity to be heard; and
FACTS:
1. That MPBC Property Management, LLC hereinafter referred to as “Applicant” and “owner”
properly applied for a variance.
2. That the matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 350
feet of the Subject Property.
3. That the Applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on December 8th, 2025 and that
the Planning Commission reviewed the variance request and recommended approval of the
variance.
4. That the Subject Property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial.
5. That City Ordinance 502.10 Subd. 5 Section B requires parking lot areas to be hard surfaced
consisting of asphalt/concrete or approved hard surfacing.
6. That the adjacent properties to the North, South, West, and East are all zoned I-1 Light
Industrial.
7. That the applicants proposed storage area surfacing is crushed granite surfacing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST.
JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, that the following Findings of Fact support a variance to the proposed
parking lot surfacing:
8. That the variance is consistent with the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan and in alliance with
Economic Development goal of: Retain, attract and grow businesses.
9. That the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance as the
ordinance is meant to require hard surfacing on parking lots that are attached to developments
with buildings on them.
10. The Applicant has demonstrated practical difficulties in meeting the zoning ordinance
requirements, as defined under Minnesota Statutes including:
a. The circumstances leading to the request are not solely created by the Applicant. The
property was annexed into the City prior to the Applicant’s ownership, and several
adjacent properties within the same development have similar crushed-granite surfacing.
b. The request arises from unique circumstances specific to the property. The site is
permitted to have outdoor storage through a Conditional Use Permit, and the Applicant
intends to construct a building in the future and upgrade the parking and storage areas to
a paved, hard-surface material at that time.
c. The requested variance is reasonable. The Applicant is not seeking to maintain the
current condition indefinitely, but rather to phase improvements in a manner consistent
with future site development.
d. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality. Other properties in the
surrounding area (St. Joseph Industrial Park East plat) utilize similar surfacing for
parking and storage, and granting the variance will remain consistent with the existing
development pattern.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST.
JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, as follows:
1. Based on this Finding of Fact a variance to the minimum parking lot standards on the subject
property is approved with the following conditions:
a. The Variance is conditioned on the Conditional Use Permit for outside storage being
approved and adherence to all required conditions of approval.
b. This Finding of Fact resolution approving the Variance shall be recorded at Stearns
County recorder’s office.
c. If within one (l) year after granting a variance, the work permitted is not started, such

RESOLUTION 2025-027B
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT TO DENY A VARIANCE TO THE
MINIMUM PARKING LOT STANDARDS
WHEREAS, MPBC Property Management, LLC, “applicant” and “owner” of property has
properly applied for a variance to the minimum parking lot standards on the subject property identified in
Exhibit A.
WHEREAS, the St. Joseph Planning Commission held a public hearing on the variance request on
December 8th, 2025, at which time all persons wishing to be heard regarding the matter were given an
opportunity to be heard; and
FACTS:
1. That MPBC Property Management, LLC hereinafter referred to as “Applicant” and “owner”
properly applied for a variance.
2. That the matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 350
feet of the Subject Property.
3. That the Applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on December 8th, 2025 and that
the Planning Commission reviewed the variance request and recommended denial of the
variance.
4. That the Subject Property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial.
5. That City Ordinance 502.10 Subd. 5 Section B requires parking lot areas to be hard surfaced
consisting of asphalt/concrete or approved hard surfacing.
6. That the adjacent properties to the North, South, West, and East are all zoned I-1 Light
Industrial.
7. That the applicants proposed storage area surfacing is crushed granite surfacing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST.
JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, that the following Findings of Fact support a denial to the proposed
parking lot surfacing:
8. That the variance is not consistent with the St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan.
9. That the variance is not in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance as
the ordinance specifically requires parking lots to be hard surfacing consisting of asphalt,
concrete, pavers or approved hard surface.
10. That the Applicant has not established practical difficulties including:
a. That the circumstances of the property are entirely caused by the landowner.
b. That the applicant’s request is not unique.
c. That the variance is not reasonable.
d. That the variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood given the
surrounding area and other properties also have similar surfacing in their parking lots
and storage areas.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ST.
JOSEPH, MINNESOTA, as follows:
1. Based on this Finding of Fact a variance to the minimum parking lot standards on the subject
property is denied.
Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted by the St. Joseph City Council this 15th
day of December, 2025.

REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
St. Ben’s Security typically has handled initial responses to fire alarms etc on campus. They have
indicated that is no longer feasible due to several factors. They have requested the City’s Fire
Department respond to all fire alarms, CO alarms, hazardous materials responses etc.
Staff met with representatives of St. Ben’s Security and Administration and have developed the
attached agreement. The College was informed of the City’s billing policy that allows a business
three calls per business without being charged. The College stated they would prefer to have
yearly billing than each time the Fire Department may be called.
City staff reviewed the call volume of previous years and came up with a number we are
reasonably confident will cover any associated costs for the additional calls. The agreement
states the College will pay the City $20,750 for the first year beginning December 2025
BUDGET IMPACT
The City will receive $20,750 for 2026 which is estimated will more than cover the costs of
responding to the identified calls.
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION
A MOTION to Approve the Agreement.
