City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: John Caven – Assistant City Engineer
Date: February 10, 2025
Item: Approve Plans and Authorize Advertisement for Bids – 2025 Mill & Overlay Program
Council Action Requested:
The council is requested to adopt the enclosed resolution approving the 2025 Mill & Overlay Program and
authorize advertisement for bid.
Background Information:
A mill and overlay is a street maintenance technique that extends street life by removing and replacing the top
layer of asphalt. After the top layer is removed, a new layer of bituminous pavement is put back in its place.
The process is ideal for streets with:
Age: 20-25 years old
Pavement Condition Index (PCI): 55-70 (on a 0-100 scale, with 100 being new pavement)
Cross Section: Minimum 4” pavement thickness
Surface Condition: Widening cracks, increasing potholes, rising maintenance costs
Base Condition: Generally in good shape
The project will mill and overlay 2.92 miles of streets, resurfacing the top 2” of pavement on the following
roads:
4th Street: Dakota Summit Drive to General Sieben Drive
16th Street through 23rd Street: Pleasant Drive to Westview Drive
Featherstone Road: West end to Pleasant Drive
High Point Court: Northridge Court through Cul-de-sac
Northridge Court: Northridge Drive through Cul-de-sac
These streets, built between 1995 and 2005, have PCI ratings within or slightly below the target range. Their
deterioration is primarily due to surface stripping and potholing, while the base remains in decent condition,
making them strong candidates for mill and overlay.
The project also includes
Upgrading sidewalk pedestrian ramps with truncated domes for ADA compliance
Spot replacement of curb and gutter, gate valves, and utility castings
Providing traffic markings consistent with the existing layout.
Construction will begin as early as May 5th and be wrapped up by no later than June 25th. The entire process
should take approximately 4-6 weeks.
Financial Impact:
All streets are residential non-State Aid streets and have a budget of $1,000,000. The project estimate is
generally within project budgets.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: John Caven – Assistant City Engineer
Date: February 10, 2025
Item: Approve 2025 Pavement Management Projects in accordance with the South Metro Joint Powers
Agreement
Council Action Requested:
The council is requested to approve the 2025 Traffic Marking Program and 2025 Crack Seal Program
accordance with the South Metro Joint Powers Agreement.
Background Information:
The City of Hastings has participated in the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) since 2011. The JPA is
administered by the City of Burnsville and it represents 20 cities, counties and townships. The benefit to
joining the JPA includes:
Reduce project administration for preparation of bid documents and bidding services
More favorable bid pricing through its increased quantity
The City of Hastings provides quantities for Traffic Marking and Crack Seal.
Traffic Marking Program
o The program consists of re-painting up to 12 miles of faded centerline, fog lines,
directional arrows, symbols, crosswalks and stop bars with appropriate yellow or white
paint. The mainline striping adheres to the adopted 2007 Traffic Marking Policy and
2017 Crosswalk Policy but adds those existing streets commonly striped that contain high
traffic volumes, unique geometry, or close proximity to schools.
Crack Seal Program
o The program consists of crack sealing up to 6 miles of streets and one parking lot.
Cracks greater than or equal to a quarter inch will be routed and sealed.
Financial Impact:
In 2025, a similar number of cities and counties are anticipated in joining the JPA. Unit prices will likely
stay steady from last year’s prices. Maintaining participation in the JPA will help keep costs as low as
possible.
The cost estimate for the Traffic Marking Program remains below the budget amount of $20,000. The
cost estimate for the Crack Seal Program remains below the budget amount of $15,000. These two
programs will be paid out of the Street Marking Budget and Upkeep to Grounds budget respectively.
Costs estimates include the 1.5% project administration fee paid to Burnsville for administering the bid
process.

Tony,
I was able to confirm this morning that we can get you set up with a financing agreement. This will
take me a couple of weeks to prepare and will be brought through the consent agenda for City
Council. We can spread the cost of the improvements over 5 years at an interest rate of 4.36%.
Are you able to let me know if you would like us to just put the entire $5,000 into that financing
agreement or if you would like to pay a portion of it up front to reduce the amount financed?
This financing would ultimately be placed on your property taxes and the payments would
distributed either via and increase to your monthly mortgage escrow (if you do this), otherwise, I
believe you would pay on this twice annually with your property taxes if you currently use that
method.
Let me know on that down payment and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you,

VIII-10
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THEIR MUTUAL COVENANTS
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PRIVATE SANITARY SEWER SERVICE REPAIRS. Subject to a separate
agreement between the Owner and the City of Hastings dated October 9, 2024, the City of
Hasting’s Contractor completed private sanitary sewer service repairs (“Improvements”) that serve
the Subject Property.
2. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The City agrees to advance the funds necessary for
the sewer service repairs in return for Owner’s agreement to have the costs assessed against the
Subject Property as provided for in this Agreement. The Owner agrees to pay fifty percent (50%)
of the cost of the Repairs which amounts to $5,000.00. The Owner agrees to pay $1,500.00 to the
City of Hastings within 30 days of the execution of this agreement. The City shall assess the
Subject Property the following principal amount for the Repairs which reflects the remaining
balance due: $3,500.00 (“Assessment Amount”). Failure by the Owner to pay $1,500.00 within 30
days of the agreement execution will result in the entirety of the unpaid $5,000 balance to be
certified as the Assessment Amount. The Assessment Amount shall be deemed adopted on the
date this Agreement is signed by the City. The Assessment Amount shall be paid over a 5-year
period without deferment, together at a rate of 4.36% interest on the unpaid balance. Interest shall
begin accruing thirty (30) days after the City Council’s approval of this Agreement. The Owner
further agrees that the Assessment Amount may be exceeded if the increases are a result of requests
made by the Owner or otherwise approved by the Owner in a subsequent written document. The
first installment shall be due and payable with first half of property taxes in 2025. The Owner
further agrees that the City can assess an additional $50.00 which represents $5.00 per year for the
term of the assessment to offset the fees imposed by Dakota County for this assessment, plus the
City’s administrative fee.
3. WAIVER OF APPEAL. The Owner hereby authorizes the City to certify to the
Dakota County Auditor/Property Tax Assessor a special assessment against the Subject Property up
to the Assessment Amount. The Owner hereby waives all rights to assessment notices, hearings,
appeals, and procedural and substantive objections and all other rights pursuant to Minn. Stat.
§429.061, §429.071 and §429.081 for the special assessment against the Subject Property up to the
Assessment Amount, including, but not limited to, any claim that the Assessment Amount against the
Subject Property exceeds the benefit to the Subject Property for the Improvement. The Owner
acknowledges and agrees that the benefit of the Improvement to the Subject Property does in fact
equal or exceed the Assessment Amount. The Owner also acknowledges and agrees that the Subject

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From: Kelly Murtaugh, Assistant City Administrator
Date: February 18, 2025
Item: Tobacco Regulations Proposed Amendments
Council Action Requested:
Information item in advance of proposed amendments to the Tobacco Regulations Ordinance
112. The proposed amendment to the ordinance was made too close to the upcoming
Council meeting to allow proper time to prepare documents for a first reading.
Background Information:
An agenda item related to the Tobacco Regulations Ordinance was added to the Council agenda
on January 21, 2025, by a unanimous vote of Council. Council then directed that the topic be
placed on the Public Safety Committee agenda for the meeting to be held on February 10.
The Committee recommended setting a limit on the number of stand-alone tobacco shop licenses
in the City to four (4). The proposed amendment does not set a limit on the number of licenses for
establishments where tobacco is not the primary business purpose (gas station, grocery store,
etc.). This would create two license categories--one for stand-alone tobacco shops and one for
businesses where tobacco products are not the establishment’s primary business purpose.
The City currently has 8 licensed stand-alone tobacco shops. In the Committee meeting,
information from similarly sized cities in the Metro was considered. Of the seven cities reviewed,
five have placed limits on the number of licenses within the past four years. The limits range from
two to ten, with an average of five. The proposed amendments would allow the current licensees
to continue operation and renew their licenses subject to the provisions of the ordinance. No new
licenses would be approved, and sunsetting the number of tobacco licenses for stand-alone shops
would happen through attrition over time.
The first reading is anticipated at the March 3 meeting, followed by the second reading March 17.
Financial Impact:
Potential impact to licensing fee revenue.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender and City Council
From: Alex Menke, Economic Development Coordinator
Date: February 18, 2025
Item: Authorize Signature: Professional Services Agreement – Lili Lennox – Hastings Civic
Arena Mural
Council Action(s) Requested:
1) Authorize signature of a professional services agreement, subject to review and minor
changes by the City Attorney, between the City of Hastings and Lili Lennox to design
and install a mural on the exterior of the Hastings Civic Arena. A simple majority is
necessary for action.
2) Authorize the disbursement of an interfund loan from the General Fund to the Arts and
Culture Commission for an amount not to exceed $38,000.00 with the understanding that
it will be repaid through four installments of $9,500.00 coming out of future Commission
budget allocations. A simple majority is necessary for this action.
History
The Hastings Arts and Culture Commission sought a Request for Proposal (RFP) for artists to
submit designs for a mural to be installed at the exterior of the Hastings Civic Arena. The
Commission received seven submissions, choosing three to move on in the process. The three
finalists submitted a more complete proposal, with estimated budgets. At the October
Commission meeting, the Commissioners reviewed the final proposals and chose to recommend
Lili Lennox’s design for Council to vote on. At the February meeting, the Commission reviewed
and approved a design change to increase the size of the “trading card” portions and have
committed to modify the existing card designs.
Budget
The Proposal estimates the cost of the project will be $71,810.00. To pay for the project, the Arts
and Culture Commission will expend $38,198.00 of its fund balance and then is requesting an
inter-fund loan from the General Fund not to exceed $38,000 which factors in the remaining
quoted price and a $4,300 contingency buffer. This amount will be paid back in four installments
of $9,500.00 that will come out of future Arts and Culture Commission budget allocations, with
an anticipated pay off in 2030.
Additionally, the Commission plans to reach out to community partners in hopes to fundraise to
pay for the project as well. Any money raised through fundraising shall reduce the amount
needed from the inter-fund loan.
Proposal
The Proposal submitted by Lili Lennox is attached for further review.
Scope of Services
The Scope of Services are outlined in the attached Professional Services Agreement.

Lili Lennox, Hastings Civic Arena Mural Concept
WHERE HISTORY MEETS HOCKEY
This vibrant mural concept serves as an energetic and colorful greeting to
both residents and visitors, celebrating Hasting’s unique blend of rich
heritage and love for the game of hockey through stylized hockey cards.
Utilizing bold colors, dynamic imagery, and historical references, the mural
captures the essence of your community—its past, present, and future.
From the town’s early beginnings and iconic landmarks to the modern-day
pride in its thriving hockey program, this mural intertwines history and
sport, symbolizing the strong spirit of teamwork, resilience, and unity. It
invites all who pass by to connect with the deep roots of the town and the
passion for hockey that lives within the Civic Arena and the greater
Hastings community today.
In this hand-painted mural, a nearly 16-foot-tall Raiders hockey player
anchors the mural, flanked by 10 hockey cards offering a glimpse into the
pride of both Hastings History and Raiders Hockey. The welcome message,
Where History Meets Hockey, stands proudly above welcoming the viewer
to the community.
Below are scale renderings of the mural as it would be installed on the
side of the Arena. The total mural area spans 106 feet.
Important Feature: This mural is
expandable! New cards can be added for
important events, future NHL draftees,
and other important figures that capture
the pride of Hastings and the Raiders.

FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION
The entirety of the mural will be comprised of panels of aluminum
composite material (ACP). ACP is extremely durable. It consists of two thin
layers of aluminum bonded to a plastic core, making it resistant to
weather conditions, corrosion, UV rays, and fading. This durability is
essential for outdoor murals that need to withstand Minnesota weather.
Further, ACP panels are relatively lightweight compared to other materials.
This makes installation easier, especially for large-scale murals, and
reduces the structural demands on the wall supporting the mural.
The mural will be hand-painted with a combination of high-quality exterior
commercial acrylics and artist’s acrylics (formulated for murals). The
panels will be coated with two coats of a UV protectant to keep the colors
looking vibrant for years to come.
The panels will be mounted to the wall using low-profile rails installed in
sections along the mural and painted to blend with the concrete. The
mural panels will be bolted to the rails via the back to ensure no visible
surface hardware.
This rail installation also allows for easy adjustments, rearrangements, and
the addition of future cards.
This installation method was advised by and would be carried out by
SignArt of Mendota Heights. www.signartusa.com
This diagram provided by SignArt details the rail
mounting system suggested for the mural, frequently
used for cut-out letter signage.

Subject:Mural increase numbers
Attachments:Hastings Size Compare.JPG
Hello Alex,
After chatting with SignArt about fabrication and install, I have some numbers for you regarding
increasing the mural size.
To recap:
The estimate for physical fabrication and install of the mural at original size is $17,052.
The cards are 5'x7', the center section is 15'x26'.
Full 25% increase
The cards enlarge to 6'3x8'9. The center piece enlarges to 18'x31'. The estimate for fabrication and install
increases by $10,411.
The bulk of this increase is in the cards, as they will now require extra bracing on the back to
accommodate a seam in the panels. But more importantly, the increased size of the center section
brings the hockey player's skate down to about 3' above the ground-- much too low and leaving the mural
susceptible to graffiti and damage. I would suggest the center panel not be enlarged to avoid these
problems.
25% on hockey cards ONLY
The price for fabrication and install of the entire piece, with only enlarging the hockey cards, increases
the fabrication/install by $7010.
Painting costs increase
There would be an increase in labor hours and materials to accommodate the extra square footage on
the larger cards, as there would be an additional 200sqft to cover with time and materials. I would
necessarily expand our painting budget by a further $5400 to accommodate this increase.
Total cost for *suggested* enlargement
This combines to a total of $12,410 additional funds needed for installation and fabrication of enlarged
6'3x8'9 hockey cards and the original 15'x26' center section. The total cost of fabrication and installation
is $29,462.
I've attached an image of what the size increase looks like in comparison to the original.
Please let me know if you have any questions, would like to jump on a zoom call to discuss, or have
immediate thoughts on how you'd like to proceed.
Thanks, Alex!

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director
Date: February 18, 2025
Item: Authorize Signature of the First Amendment to Purchase Agreement at 1292 North Frontage
Road
Council Action Requested:
The Council is requested to authorize signature of the first amendment to purchase agreement for
acquisition of 1292 North Frontage Road.
Background Information:
At the November 18, 2024, City Council Meeting, a purchase agreement to acquire 1292 North Frontage
Road was approved by City Council. The first amendment to the purchase agreement includes the
following two revisions:
1. Moving the closing date back from February 28, 2025, to May 30, 2025 (on or before) to allow
for the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment to be completed for due diligence.
2. If the City terminates the agreement and does not close on the property, the earnest money in
the amount of $10,000 would be retained by the seller for lost rent and other costs.
Financial Impact:
None. The purchase price and reimbursable relocation expenses remain unchanged and continue to be
eligible for 3M Settlement Funds. It should be noted that if the City decides not to close on the property,
the $10,000 Earnest Money would be retained by JoCor and that expense would most likely not be
eligible for 3M Settlement Funds.
