Housing Needs Assessment for the City of Hastings. No action is required by
Council.
Background Information:
Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) contracted with
Bowen National Research to provide a Housing Needs Assessment for Dakota
County along with an overview of larger cities including Hastings.The
Hastings overview includes key demographic and economic development data,
summaries of the multifamily rental market and on-sale housing supply, along
with general conclusions on the housing needs of the area.
Key Findings:
•Hastings has an overall five-year housing gap of 1,483 units comprising
of:
o 402 rental units
o 1,081 for-sale units.
•Projected housing gaps encompass a variety of affordability levels for
both rental and for-sale housing.
•The greatest rental housing gap is for products serving households
earning between 61% and 80% of the Area Median Household Income
(AMHI)
•The greatest for sale housing gap is for products serving households
earning between 81% and 115% of the AMHI

•Positive household income growth projections
•A significant share of jobs based in the city are
within stable industries (e.g.,public

•Few vacancies among Tax Credit
apartments.No vacancies among subsidized
multifamily apartments•Extremely low availability rates for non-
conventional rentals and for-sale housing
Opportunities Threats•Housing need of 402 rental units
•Housing need of 1,081 for-sale units•Attract some of the 5,036 non-residents
commuting into Hastings for work to live in
the city•Relatively young base of in-migrants with a
variety of income levels
•Rising cost of for-sale housing coupled with
relatively low household income levels•Older average housing inventory subject to
deterioration/neg1ect
•Hastings risks losing some of the 8,774
residents that commute out of the city for
employment
BOWEN NATIONAL RESEARCH Addendum H-1
ADDENDUM H: CITY OF HASTINGS OVERVIEW
While the primary focus of this Housing Needs Assessment is on the entirety of the
Primary Study Area, or PSA (Dakota County), this section of the report includes an
overview of demographic, economic, and housing metrics specific to the city of Hastings.
To provide a base of comparison, various metrics of Hastings were compared with the
entirety of Dakota County and statewide numbers.
The analyses on the following pages provide overviews of key demographic and economic
data, summaries of the multifamily rental market and for-sale housing supply, and general
conclusions on the housing needs of the area. It is important to note that the demographic
projections included in this section assume no significant government policies, programs
or incentives are enacted that would drastically alter residential development or economic
activity. Note that some topics presented in this analysis, particularly migration and
economic data, may be limited to county-based metrics due to the availability of data.
A. INTRODUCTION
Hastings is located in the northeast portion of Dakota County, approximately 21 miles
south of downtown St.Paul and 30 miles southeast of downtown Minneapolis.
Hastings contains approximately 10 square miles and has an estimated population of
22,475 in 2024.Main throughfares in the Hastings area include U.S. Highways 10 and
61, and State Routes 55 and 316. Each of these highways provides access to nearby
metropolitan centers.
The following map illustrates the city of Hastings.

The number of households in Hastings increased by 315 (3.6%) between 2010 and
2020. This represents a smaller percentage increase as compared to the county (10.5%)
and state (8.0%) during this time period.Between 2020 and 2024, the number of
households in Hastings increased by 1.4%. It is projected that the number of
households in the city will increase by 3.6%over the next five years, which is a higher
rate of household growth compared to the county and state during this period. While
household growth can heavily influence the total housing needs of a market, factors
such as households living in substandard or cost-burdened housing, people commuting
into the area for work, pent-up demand, and availability of existing housing all affect
housing needs. These factors are addressed throughout this overview.

Source: 2010 Census; ESRI; Bowen National Research
In 2024,the distribution of households by tenure in Hastings (72.2% owners and
27.8% renters)is very comparable to the shares for the county, but more heavily
weighted toward owner households when compared to the state. Over the next five
years, it is projected that the number of owner households in Hastings will increase by
4.0%, while the number of renter households will increase by 2.6%. This is a larger
projected increase in both owner and renter households when compared to the county
and state. The projected increase among owner and renter households in Hastings will
likely contribute to an increase in demand within the rental and for-sale housing
markets over the next five years.It is important to understand that housing demand is
influenced by a variety of factors, which may include existing pent-up demand,
substandard housing, housing cost burden, and/or other factors.

In 2024, the largest share of senior owner households (age 62 and older) in Hastings
earn $100,000 or more (52.9%), followed by those earning between $50,000 and
$99,999 (27.5%). Over the next five years, senior owner households in Hastings
earning $100,000 or more are projected to increase by 26.4%, while senior owner
households earning less than $100,000 are projected to decrease during this period.
The projected growth among the highest income cohort and decrease among the lower
income cohorts in Hastings is consistent with county and statewide projections
between 2024 and 2029.

Based on the preceding data, the population growth within Dakota County between
2010 and 2023 is primarily the result of natural change (more births than deaths)and
noteworthy international migration.While this data is not specific to Hastings, it is
reasonable to conclude that the components of population change for Dakota County
are likely to have a significant influence on each of the geographies located within the
county.

Note: Since this survey is conducted of establishments and not of residents, some employees may not live within each market. These employees,
however, are included in our labor force calculations because their places of employment are located within each market.
Hastings has an employment base of nearly 12,000 individuals that is concentrated
within several employment sectors.The labor force within the area is based primarily
in five sectors:Public Administration (19.5%), Health Care & Social Assistance
(13.5%), Manufacturing (13.4%), Retail Trade (10.6%), and Educational Services
(9.1%). Combined, the top five job sectors represent 66.1% of the city’s employment

As the preceding illustrates, total employment within Dakota County steadily
increased between 2014 and 2019. In 2020, total employment decreased by roughly
3.1%, which can be largely attributed to the economic impact of the COVID-19
pandemic. As of year-end 2023, total employment in Dakota County was at 100.1%

As the preceding data shows, the unemployment rate in Dakota County declined from
3.9% in 2014 to 2.9% in 2019. After the sharp increase in 2020, the unemployment
rate in the county dropped to 2.3% in 2022. Although the unemployment rate increased
to 2.6% in 2023, this still represents a lower rate as compared to the rate in 2019. It is
also noteworthy that the unemployment rate in the county has been below the state
unemployment rate in nine of the previous 10 years.The lone exception occurred
during 2020, where both the county and state rates were 6.3%.
At-place employment reflects the total number of jobs within the county regardless of
the employee's county of residence. The following illustrates the total at-place
employment base for Dakota County from 2013 to 2023.
Source: Department of Labor; Bureau of Labor Statistics
As the preceding illustrates, at-place employment within Dakota County increased
each year since 2013, with the only exception occurring in 2020. Through 2023, at-
place employment within the county is at 98.3% of the 2019 level.This likely indicates
the county was disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Regardless,at-place
employment increased by 5.8% (approximately 10,300 jobs) in Dakota County
between 2013 and 2023, illustrating an overall positive economic trend for the county
in the last decade.
Economic Outlook
WARN notices were reviewed in September 2024.According to the Minnesota
Department of Employment and Economic Development website, there have been six
WARN notices reported for Dakota County over the past 12 months. These WARN
notices impact a total of 70 jobs within the county, of which none are located within
Hastings. Overall, the reduction in jobs associated with these notices is relatively
minor given the existing employment base and recent increases in at-place
employment within the county.

As the preceding illustrates, a multimillion-dollar economic project was recently
completed within Hastings and a new $221 million project was recently proposed. The
redevelopment of a former manufacturing building into a mixed-use project, which
was completed in 2023, created approximately 55 new jobs in the area and provides a
source of additional rental housing.This economic activity will likely have a positive
impact on the community and labor market in the years to come.
Commuting Data
The ability of a person or household to travel easily, quickly, safely, and affordably

In Hastings, 24.4% of the renter-occupied housing units and 42.4% of the owner-
occupied housing units were built prior to 1970. Both shares are notably higher than
the county shares of such housing, though the share of older renter-occupied units in
the city is significantly lower than the statewide share of 35.9%. The shares of
overcrowded renter housing units (3.0%) and owner housing units (0.3%) are lower
than county and statewide shares,while the share of renter-occupied (3.7%) housing
units with incomplete plumbing or kitchens is slightly higher than county and state
shares of such housing. Overall, there are approximately 143 renter households and
16 owner households in Hastings living in substandard housing conditions.
The following table compares key household income, housing cost, and housing

Approximately 38.1%of the rental units in Hastings are within structures of four units
or less.Overall, the city’s share (61.9%) of multifamily rental housing (five or more
units within a structure) is within the range of such units compared to the county
(65.4%) and state (60.1%).Therefore, the majority of renter-occupied housing units
in the city are comprised of multifamily rentals.Among owner-occupied units in
Hastings, 97.2% are within structures of four units or less or mobile homes.
The following graph illustrates the distribution of monthly gross rents (per unit) for
rental alternatives within each of the study areas.Note that this data includes both
multifamily rentals and non-conventional rentals. However, with 38.1%of all rental
units in Hastings classified as non-conventional (four units or less within a structure),
this data provides some insight into the overall distribution of rents among the non-
conventional rental supply. Note that gross rents include tenant-paid rents and tenant-
paid utilities.

Distribution of Monthly Gross Rents by Area
Hastings Dakota County Minnesota
BOWEN NATIONAL RESEARCH Addendum H-21
As the preceding illustrates, the largest share (36.6%) of Hastings rental units have
gross rents between $1,000 and $1,499, followed by units with gross rents between
$750 and $999 (25.5%).Approximately one-quarter (25.1%)of rentals in the area
have gross rents of $1,500 and higher. The distribution of gross rents in Hastings is
much more heavily weighted toward product with gross rents between $750 and $999
when compared to the county and state, and there is a notably smaller share of units
in Hastings with rents of $1,500 or more as compared to the county.
Bowen National Research’s Survey of Housing Supply
Multifamily Rental Housing
A field survey of multifamily rental properties was conducted as part of the Dakota
County Housing Needs Assessment.The following table summarizes the surveyed
multifamily rental supply by project type for Hastings and Dakota County. Note that
vacancy rates below 1% are highlighted in red text.

In Hastings, a total of 17 apartment properties were surveyed, comprising a total of
1,269 units.Overall, the multifamily units are 90.4% occupied, with a total of 122
vacancies. Typically, in a well-balanced and healthy market, multifamily rentals
should have an overall occupancy rate between 94% and 96%. While Dakota County
as a whole has a healthy overall occupancy rate of 95.7%, the occupancy rate within
Hastings is considered low due to vacancies at market-rate properties, which contain
120 of the 122 vacant units among properties surveyed in the city. Note that a
significant number of vacant units are within a recently opened market-rate property
that is still within its initial lease-up period.Only two vacant units are within Tax
Credit properties, while there are no vacancies at government-subsidized properties
surveyed in Hastings. The occupancy rates among Tax Credit and government-
subsidized units are high, and the presence of wait lists, particularly among the Tax
Credit product, are evidence of pent-up demand for multifamily rentals for a variety
of income levels within Hastings. This likely represents a future development
opportunity within the city.

As the preceding illustrates, the median rent for a typical one-bedroom market-rate
unit in Hastings ($974) is nearly twice as high as the comparable one-bedroom Tax
Credit unit ($504) in the area. Note that the median rents for one-and two-bedroom
market-rate and Tax Credit units in Hastings are less than or equal to the corresponding
median rents in Dakota County. Regardless of program type,the median rents steadily
increase for each subsequently larger unit configuration for both study areas.With
limited availability among Tax Credit and government-subsidized units in both
Hastings and Dakota County, many low-income households are likely to seek rental
alternatives among the available market-rate and non-conventional supply. This can
result in a higher share of cost burdened households in an area, or in some instances,
may cause households to relocate outside of an area to find more affordable housing
choices.
Non-Conventional Rental Housing
Non-conventional rentals are considered rental units typically consisting of single-
family homes, duplexes, units over store fronts, and/or mobile homes and account for
38.1% of the total rental units in Hastings.
During August and September 2024, Bowen National Research conducted an online
survey and identified four non-conventional rentals that were listed as available for
rent in Hastings. While these rentals do not represent all non-conventional rentals, they
are representative of common characteristics of the various non-conventional rental
alternatives available in the market. As a result, these rentals provide a good baseline
to compare the rental rates and the number of bedrooms of non-conventional rentals
in the area.
BOWEN NATIONAL RESEARCH Addendum H-23
The following table illustrates the vacancy rates, which compares the number of
identified vacant non-conventional rentals to the total number of non-conventional

With a total of four available units identified,Hastings has an overall vacancy rate of
just 0.4%for non-conventional rentals, which is slightly lower than the vacancy rate
for Dakota County.This is well below the optimal range of 4% to 6% for non-
conventional rentals and indicates a significant lack of available non-conventional
supply in the area.

The four available non-conventional rentals in Hastings consist of a two-bedroom unit,
two (2) three-bedroom units, and a four-bedroom unit. Median rents range from $910
for a two-bedroom unit to $2,513 for a three-bedroom unit. When typical utility costs
($300 or more) are considered, the identified non-conventional rentals in Hastings
have gross rents ranging from $1,210 to $2,813. While the rent for the non-
conventional two-bedroom unit is lower than comparable multifamily market-rate
units surveyed in the city,the non-conventional three-bedroom and four-bedroom
units have rents that exceed the median rents for the highest-priced multifamily rental
product.As such,it is unlikely that most low-income households would be able to
afford the typical non-conventional rental in the area, even if such a unit were readily
available.

The 17 available for-sale homes in Hastings represent 2.9% of the available for-sale
homes in Dakota County. These homes equate to an availability rate of 0.3%when
compared to the 6,586 owner-occupied units in the city. Based on recent sales history,
this inventory represents less than one Months Supply of Inventory (MSI). Typically,
in healthy, well-balanced markets, approximately 2% to 3% of the for-sale housing
stock should be available for purchase and there should be between four and six
months of available inventory to allow for inner-market mobility and household
growth. The available for-sale homes have an average number of days on market of

29 days and an average year built of 1976. Overall, the data illustrates that there is
limited availability of for-sale homes and a short average number of days on market,
which has likely contributed, at least in part, to the notable increase in for-sale pricing
since 2020.
The following graph compares the distribution of historical and available for-sale
residential units by price point for Hastings:
Source: Redfin.com & Bowen National Research
As the preceding illustrates, there is extremely limited availability of for-sale homes
in Hastings regardless of price point. Note that there is only one unit available for sale
in the city priced below $200,000 and only six available units priced below $300,000.
By comparison, the overall share of available homes priced above $400,000 is
significantly higher than homes sold at this price point during the historical sales
period. However, there are only seven homes available for sale at $400,000 or higher
in Hastings. The lack of available housing at all price points is likely to create
affordability issues for much of the area workforce and first-time homebuyers, as well
as impact the ability of higher-income households to locate suitable housing.These
factors may limit the city’s ability to attract new households.
Senior Care Housing
As part of the Dakota County Housing Needs Assessment, senior care facilities within
the county were surveyed. The facilities that were evaluated include three levels of
care that typically respond to older adults seeking, or who need, alternatives to their
current living environment. This includes independent living, assisted living and
nursing care.The following table summarizes the surveyed facilities by property type

As the preceding illustrates, a total of five senior care projects were surveyed within
Hastings. These projects have an overall occupancy rate of 96.7%. The independent
living and assisted living facilities surveyed in the city are fully occupied, while the
overall occupancy rate (93.0%)for the two nursing facilities in Hastings is above the
national median occupancy rate (82.0%). The high occupancy rates and projected
increase in households aged 65 and older in the area suggest that there could be an
increase in demand for senior care options over the next five years.

E.HOUSING GAP
Based on ESRI household projections from 2024 to 2029, which is the most up-to-
date version available, and taking into consideration the housing data from our field
survey of area housing alternatives, we are able to project the potential number of new
housing units that are needed (housing gap) in Hastings. The following paragraph
summarizes the metrics used in our demand estimates.
We included renter and owner household growth, the number of units required for a
balanced market, the need for replacement of substandard housing, commuter/external
market support, severe cost-burdened households, and step-down support as the
demand components in our estimates for new rental and for-sale housing units. As part
of this analysis, we accounted for vacancies reported among both renter-and owner-
occupied housing alternatives, considered applicable units in the development pipeline,
and concluded this analysis by providing the number of units that are needed by
different income segments, rent levels, and purchase price points.
Hastings has an overall five-year housing gap of 1,483 units, with a gap of 402 rental
units and a gap of 1,081 for-sale units. The following table summarizes the rental and
for-sale housing gaps by income and affordability levels for Hastings.

AMHI –Area Median Household Income
*Based on HUD limits for Hastings (4-person limit)
As the preceding table illustrates, the projected housing gaps encompass a variety of
affordability levels for both rental and for-sale housing product. It appears the greatest
rental housing gap in the city is for product serving households earning between 61%
and 80% of AMHI, while the greatest for-sale housing gap in the city is for product
BOWEN NATIONAL RESEARCH Addendum H-29
serving households earning between 81% and 115% of AMHI.Although development
within Hastings should be prioritized to the housing product showing the greatest gaps,
it appears efforts to address housing should consider most rents and price points across
the housing spectrum. The addition of a variety of housing product types and
affordability levels would enhance the subject market’s ability to attract potential
workers and help meet the changing and growing housing needs of the local market.
F.STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS (SWOT)
A SWOT analysis often serves as the framework to evaluate an area’s competitive
position and to develop strategic planning. It considers internal and external factors,
as well as current and future potential. Ultimately, such an analysis is intended to
identify core strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that can lead to
strategies that can be developed and implemented to address local housing issues.
The following is a summary of key findings from this SWOT analysis for Hastings.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
•Household growth of 5.1% (2010-2024)
•Positive household income growth projections
•A significant share of jobs based in the city are
within stable industries (e.g., public
administration and health care)
•Few vacancies among Tax Credit
apartments. No vacancies among subsidized
multifamily apartments
•Extremely low availability rates for non-
conventional rentals and for-sale housing
Opportunities Threats
•Housing need of 402 rental units
•Housing need of 1,081 for-sale units
•Attract some of the 5,036 non-residents
commuting into Hastings for work to live in
the city
•Relatively young base of in-migrants with a
variety of income levels
•Rising cost of for-sale housing coupled with
relatively low household income levels
•Older average housing inventory subject to
deterioration/neglect
•Hastings risks losing some of the 8,774
residents that commute out of the city for
employment
Hastings experienced notable positive household growth since 2010, and household
growth is projected to continue over the next five years. In fact, the rate of household
growth in the city is projected to exceed that of the county and state during this period.
A significant share of employment in the city is based within stable industries, which
may help retain existing households and potentially attract additional households to
the city. Despite these positive attributes, Hastings has very low vacancy rates among
affordable multifamily and non-conventional rentals and an extremely low availability
rate within the for-sale housing market. These availability issues combined with rising
for-sale costs and a significant number of residents commuting outside the city for
employment may increase the likelihood of households relocating outside the city to
find suitable housing. However, the city has a total housing gap of 1,483 units and
over 5,000 non-residents commuting into the city daily for employment. This
represents a significant development opportunity, which will contribute to positive
household growth in Hastings and support a growing local economy.
Hastings, Minnesota
City Council Workshop
March 17, 2025
The City Council of the City of Hastings, Minnesota met in a workshop on Monday, April 7,
2025,at 5:30 p.m. in the Volunteer Room at the Hastings City Hall, 101 East 4th Street, Hastings,
Minnesota.
Members Present:Mayor Fasbender, Councilmembers Beck,Lawrence, Leifeld,and Pemble
Members Remote:Councilmember Haus
Members Absent:None
Staff Present:City Administrator Dan Wietecha
Assistant City Administrator Kelly Murtaugh
Public Works Director Ryan Stempski
Mayor Fasbender called the workshop to order at 5:32 pm and welcomed staff and
councilmembers to the workshop about PFAS funding.Wietecha opened the meeting with an
overview of the agenda: Method of Financing, Addressing Nitrates, and Impact on Water Rates.
Wietecha provided an overview of the cost estimates. The cost estimate is $30.8 M for the
Central Water Treatment Plant. Much of the cost is covered through a MPCA Planning &Design
grant, 3M Settlement funds, Emerging Contaminants Grant, and water rate increase implemented
in January 2025. The remaining uncovered amount of the estimate is $6.1M.
Options for Financing the remaining portion of the project:
•Public Facilities Authority Loan: low interest with a savings of almost $1M, 20-year
repayment term, coordinates with requirements of the Emerging Contaminants Grant,
repaid through water rates, potential concern with cash flow.This is the recommended
option.
•Bonding: potential 25-year repayment term, could be repaid through water rates or
general fund (taxes).
Council discussion clarifying terms, impacts to the city and residents, and differences between
the options.Council discussion on the repayment through water rate increases versus property
tax increases. Council recommendation that though water rates will increase, the loan through
the Public Facilities Authority is a better direction because the impact will be shared among all
users of water in the City and the low interest rate saves some of the interest expense over time.
Stempski provided an overview of the plans for building the footprint for full treatment of
nitrates at the Central Water Treatment Plant. Stempski indicated that putting in the nitrate
footprint during construction, has less cost for construction than adding it in the future while
waiting on the treatment equipment would cost the same in the future. The current nitrate
treatment plant can continue to be utilized to partially treat the area wells (3 & 5)until the full
treatment is needed for Well 7 or regulations change.Stempski projected that the cost for
delaying the nitrate foundation construction more than doubles the cost for construction and
system installation.
Council discussion around current nitrate levels at the various wells and how that is being
managed at this time. Council recommended the construction of the nitrate footprint but not
installing the system until the future, ensuring the design accommodates the system without
impacting the building. Council discussion related to the value in preparing for the inevitable
future need and reducing expense for the future city residents.
Wietecha reviewed the water rate changes for January and the projected additional water rates
increase in July. The stepped increase was implemented due to some of the outstanding questions
regarding funding opportunities when water rates were set for January. The City has learned that
some of the funding options are no longer available. Council discussed adding the nitrate
footprint but not installing the system. Therefore, the need could be covered by a 5% increase in
water rates in July. If the Emerging Contaminants Grant (federal) is at risk, the need could be
covered by a 10% increase.
Council discussion about the July water rate increase of 5% -10%. The choice impacts the
January 2026 estimated rate. Council discussion about impact of tariffs and the economy on the
bids. Stempski indicated that there is a contingency built into the estimate to address changes in
anticipated bidding. Council discussion on the rate and if the federal grant still comes through,
the additional water rates collected will reduce future rate increases.If state bonding or other
funds become available, future rate increases could be reduced. Council recommendation
looking at a 10% increase to water rates in July 2025.
Council discussion around the City seeking funding from other sources and how the plans
continue to change as the sources either come through or do not.The ability to access the 3M
Settlement funds has improved the funding picture and is still being assessed for the other wells.
The requirements for construction to address the PFAS levels by 2029 will not change based on
funding and the City needs to continue progress on the projects.

2025 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements
Conduct Public Hearing
Resolution: No. 04-10-25: Order the Improvements and Adopt Assessments
Mathisen provided an overview of the 2025 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements project.
This project contains street and utility improvements to seven City streets ranging in scope of work from
reclamation of streets to full street and utility reconstruction. The full scope of the project was presented
to Council on March 3, 2025. Mathisen reviewed the methodology of the assessments. This methodology
recognizes ordinance allowance to assess by lot rather than by length of frontage, especially for
irregularly shaped lots. Mathisen outlined the payment options for this project, including abatement or
deferral options. Council is asked to approve the resolution to order the project and adopt the proposed
assessments for the project.
Mayor Fasbender opened the public hearing at: 7:34 p.m.
Mayor Fasbender closed the public hearing at: 7:35 p.m.
Council discussion on use of special assessments among cities. Mathisen indicated Mn Statute
429 outlines the process by which cities must follow. Council posed questions on how much of the levied
taxes go toward the roads. Mathisen indicated the levy goes toward general upkeep, plowing, mill and
overlay, and thin overlay programs. The capital improvement projects that improve the adjacent parcels
are addressed. Homeowners are being assessed for 16% of the 2025 Neighborhood Project. Council
expressed gratitude for thoughtfulness in planning and the communication about the projects and
engagement with the community.
Councilmember Leifeld motioned to approve as presented, seconded by Councilmember
Vihrachoff.

Approve Change Order No. 1 for 2025 Mill & Overlay Program ($54,936.14)
Mathisen provided an overview of the request to adopt the resolution to award a contract for the

Receiving Bids and Awarding Contract for Lake Rebecca Park Project
Jenkins provided an overview of the request to accept the bid and award contract to Ashwill
Companies for the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) grant funded
Lake Rebecca Park Improvements Project. Jenkins indicated the City consulted with HKGi to develop the
master plan and bidding documents. Six (6) bids were received with Ashwill Companies being the lowest,
responsible bidder. Ashwill Companies has submitted a project schedule that will complete all elements
of the project in early June 2025, which is ahead of the current completion deadline for the grant. The
entirety of the project is grant funded with the contract being bid at $511,790.94. Jenkins explained there
is a risk that if construction were delayed beyond the grant deadline, the City may be responsible for the
cost of completing the contract.

Lawrence.

PFAS Update
Wietecha presented the PFAS Update. Costs are expected to trend higher than originally
anticipated and even with assistance received to date, water rates are expected to increase significantly
over the next four years. The City is working hard to reduce costs and continually seeking additional
funding. Congress did not include any community project funding in its recent budget action, so those
funds will not be available to the City. Water rates increased in January 2025 and it was projected at that
time that there would be another increase July 1. That increase is now expected to be an additional 10%.
The Phase II assessment did not identify impacts that require further actions or additional investigation.
Closing on the site for the Central WTP is scheduled for April 18. Wietecha shared an update on the
relocation services working with both tenants who intend to continue operations in Hastings. Wietecha
City Council packets can be viewed in searchable format on the City’s website at
https://www.hastingsmn.gov/city-government/city-council/city-council-documents-copy
indicated staff continues to meet with MPCA staff and anticipate final design could be completed and
ready to bid by May 2025. On March 25, the City held a public presentation about the Central WTP and
raw water lines for neighboring residents and businesses to learn about the project scope and schedule.
Council discussion on reminder that residents will have access directly to the Central WTP to get
clean drinking water approximately fall of 2026.

City Council Memorandum
To:Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers
From:Chris Jenkins, Parks & Recreation Director
Date:April 21, 2025
Item:Lions Park Shelter Consultant
Council Action Requested:Accept quote and award contract to HCM
Architects for the Lions Park Shelter reconstruction project.
Background Information:In the fall of 2024 the shelter at Lions Park was
severely damaged by fire. Since that time, staff have been working with
LMCIT to determine the best path forward. Staff solicited quotes from two
architectural firms and upon review, both LMCIT and City staff agree that
HCM is the right fit for this project.
The reconstruction project will ultimately rebuild the exact structure that
existed before the fire damage,and the City will be reimbursed for all cost
associated with cleanup and reconstruction, including consultant fees.
Staff recommend accepting the quote and awarding contract to HCM
Architects for the base bid.
Financial Impact:HCM’s quote is $50,500.00 for all services. The City will
hire the firm and pay the bills, and request reimbursement from LMCIT.

Dear Chris:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our design services fee proposal to you for the City of
Hastings Lion’s Park Toilet Room, Warming House, and Picnic Pavilion Building. We really
appreciate the opportunity to work with you and your Team; thank you for contacting us!
The HCM Team has worked extensively on Parks and Recreation Design with over 120 individual
structures completed in the past 20 years, along with dozens of studies, audits, assessments,
and planning efforts. This knowledge will create a lot of efficiencies when recreating your original
design, but also when designing the proposed Alternate No. 1, including a larger warming space
for the winter months, and a larger picnic pavilion space for the remaining months.
Our design services for this proposal will include Architectural Design, Interior Design, minor Civil
Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Mechanical & Electrical Engineering. Our Team includes
the following:
· HCM Architects as the Team Leader/Manager, Architect of Record, and for all
Architectural and Interior Design services
· Larson Engineering Inc. for both Civil and Structural Engineering services
· WSP for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering services
We are very excited to assist you with this effort, and we understand how critical it is to complete
it as soon as possible. We will strive to provide excellent design services for The City of Hastings.
If you have questions regarding this proposal, or would like additional information, please give me
a call.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Gutzman, AIA
Partner, HCM Architects

Project Understanding:
The City of Hastings Lion’s Park Toilet Room, Warming House, and Picnic Pavilion Building,
completed in 2007, unfortunately burned down in August of 2024. It is our understanding that this
project is to recreate the exact design of the original park structure, while following current code
requirements that may differ from the original build. This project scope would be covered by
insurance and allow a bidding process to understand the cost to reconstruct the same building 17
years later. The existing building was about 425 square feet of interior space (Toilet Room, Utility
Room, and Warming House) and approximately another 400 square feet of covered picnic area.
The existing building was constructed of rock-faced masonry walls. All these walls are still intact,
and an analysis has been completed noting that the walls are structurally sound and can be
reused. It was also noted in this report that the existing concrete building pad / patio is also in
good shape and does not need replacement. The Design Team would use the existing CAD
drawings as a background to document the building in Revit. There is no civil engineering scope
for this Base Building Design.
In addition to documenting the original design, the City of Hastings is interested in providing
Alternate No. 1 Design, including a larger warming space for the winter months, and a larger
picnic pavilion space for the remaining months. It would also include a more modern look at the
façade and roof lines. The approach to MEP Design would remain the same. Minor Civil
Engineering would be required for this option to include a revised building pad, potential sidewalk,
and coordination with an existing nearby tree and fire hydrant. If this route is taken, the
Construction Documents would include both the Base Building Design, as well as the Alternate
No. 1 Design, to complete bidding for both options from each contractor. The City can then decide
if the added cost for Alternate No. 1 Design is worth considering beyond what insurance will cover
from the fire.
The following is a breakdown of the services provided in this proposal between HCM, Larson
Engineering, and WSP. The project phases include Design Development, the development of the
Construction Documents for bidding, permitting, and Construction Administration.
Scope of Services:
Task 1: Design Development
· On-site Kick-off Meeting / Evaluation of the existing conditions with the Design Team (1
on-site meeting)
· Meetings with Design Team for coordination (assume 1 total online meeting)
· Weekly meetings with the City to review drawing development and overall project goals
(assume 2 meetings, 1 in-person & 1 online)
· Develop Revit 3D model, using the existing CAD drawing as a background
· Develop the Building Plans, Exterior Elevations & Building Sections
· Develop Structural System drawings
· Develop Civil Engineering drawings – scope of work only required if Alternate No. 1
Design option is approved to proceed
· Develop basis of design documents, documenting the requirements and design criteria
for the MEP Systems
· Develop finish plans, FFE plans and required interior elevations.
· Work with Staff to develop interior & exterior material & finish selections (some of original
finishes and fixtures selections are likely not available and need to be revised)
VIII-12
· Investigate all pertinent codes and safety regulations – meet with City Building Officials to
confirm life safety and accessibility requirements.
· Present the Project at Park & Rec and City Council meetings if required
· Develop Design Development Package for review/approval
·This scope of work does not include cost estimating services. If this is required, we would
request additional services.
Deliverables:
· Design Development Package including drawings and narratives for:
o Architectural
o Interior Finishes
o Structural
o Civil (only if Alternate No. 1 Design is approved to proceed)
o Mechanical (HVAC & Plumbing)
o Electrical

Item:1st Reading –E-Bike Ordinance adoption and bike trail speed limit update
Council Action Requested:
Approve the 1st reading for the E-Bike Ordinance (70.10) and updated speed limit for bicycles on
Hastings Trails (94.04 and 94.09).
Background Information:
The Hastings City Council requested the Public Safety Advisory Commission (PSAC) review and provide
recommendations to the council regarding electric Assisted Bicycle use in the City of Hastings. PSAC
completed their review and presented it to Hastings City Council.The PSAC also recommended reducing
the speed limit on bike trails from 20 mph to 15 mph, which is identified in ordinance 94.04 and 94.09.
Reducing the speed limit would align with the Dakota County trail speed limits and reduce incidents on
the bicycle trails. The Hastings City Council generally supported these recommended changes to City
Ordinances during discussion. The Hastings City Attorney drafted ordinance 70.10 for review based off
recommendations from PSAC. Ordinances 70.10, 94.04 and 94.09 are included in your packets for

From:Kelly Murtaugh,Assistant City Administrator
Date:April 21, 2025
Item:Request for Proposals
Council Action Requested:
Approve participation in the Request for Proposals for private Minnesota Paid Family &
Medical Leave.
Background Information:
In the 2023 state legislative session, a Paid Family & Medical Leave program was created

Participation is required in the state-administered program, unless the entity provides a
leave program that is equal to or better than the state program.
Integrity Benefits, the City’s supplemental benefits partner, is overseeing the RFP process
on behalf of over 100 cities and counties in Minnesota to investigate whether a privately
administered program may be administratively easier and at lower cost than through the
state.
Participation in the RFP does not compel the City to ultimately select a private carrier but
does allow the City to examine options. Notice in the local newspaper would follow
Council approval to participate. The due date for proposals is May 27, with June and July
set aside for the City to review and decide the best course of action.
Financial Impact:
The premium will be a new budget item for 2026 whether the state-managed plan or a

Item: Contract Award for 2025 Neighborhood Infrastructure Improvements
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution to award a contract for the 2025 Neighborhood
Infrastructure Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City received seven bids for this project on April 11th. A summary of the bids is listed below.
No. Bidder Total Base Bid
1 Icon LLC $3,090,009.70
2 Northwest Asphalt Inc. $3,103,992.20
3 Fitzgerald Excavating $3,121,535.45
4 BCM Construction Inc. $3,124,290.00
5 McNamara Contracting Co. $3,256,784.08
6 Ryan Contracting Co. $3,363,875.47
7 A-1 Excavating LLC $3,547,805.81
As shown above, the lowest base bid was received from Icon LLC and the next lowest bid was received from
Northwest Asphalt Inc. These two bids were within $14,000 of one another and either would provide a base
bid cost approximately 13% below the Engineer’s Estimate. These bids position the project to come in below
the budget set for 2025.
POST-BID CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATION REVIEW
Contractors who furnished a bid were required to include a completed questionnaire and to submit a variety of
company background and experience data to validate their ability to perform the work on this project.
Contractors’ proposals were then scored using objective criteria (based on MN Statute 16C.28) for the
information being submitted. A score of 10 points is the minimum necessary to be considered qualified to
perform the project work.
The qualification review for Icon LLC determined that their proposal score was only 5 points, which did not
meet the minimum score required to be qualified for this project. This low score is a result of collective
reference checks done on the projects submitted for relevant recent work examples. Other municipalities cited
that Icon LLC did not complete the referenced work to the owner’s satisfaction including but not limited to
completion deadlines and quality of work.
IX-01
Staff also completed reference checks on the next lowest bidder, Northwest Asphalt Inc. After completing these
reference checks, it was determined that Northwest Asphalt Inc. had a proposal score of 16. Other
municipalities consistently cited that Northwest was professional, agreeable, and overall, a good partner on
several comparable projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council move forward in adopting the attached resolution awarding the
contract to Northwest Asphalt Inc., in the total amount of $3,103,992.20.

City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Ryan Stempski – Public Works Director
Date: April 21, 2025
Item: Accept Proposal and Authorize Work – Updates to the People Movement Plan
Council Action Requested:
The Council is requested to authorize the City to enter into a contract with HKGi to complete updates to
the City’s People Movement Plan.
Background Information:
In May 2024, the City of Hastings submitted an $8.2M implementation grant application to the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program to help fund the Highway
61 Improvement Project. The project was recognized as a recommended project, meaning it scored
competitively but fell just short of the funding line.
Although the implementation grant was not awarded, the City was selected to receive a $44,000
planning grant through the same program. The purpose of this grant is to support updates to the City’s
existing action planning documents to strengthen future SS4A implementation grant applications. The
document identified for updates was the People Movement Plan, which serves as the City's foundation
for future enhancements to our bicycle and pedestrian network.
To meet SS4A action plan requirements, the People Movement Plan needs several key updates,
including:
·Incorporation of a formal “Toward Zero Deaths” goal with a target date, ultimately supported by
statement from City Council.
·Updates to key maps and data to reflect progress to date.
·Identification of high injury network areas.
·Include findings from the Highway 61 Hastings Corridor Visioning Study completed in May 2024
Due to a pause in federal funding with the new administration, the City has not yet received a finalized
planning grant agreement from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which administers the
SS4A program. There is currently no clear timeline for when the grant agreement might be executed.
The agreement must be in place before any consultant work can begin using grant funds.
On March 28, 2025, the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the 2025 SS4A grant cycle was
released, with an application deadline of June 26, 2025. With the quick turnaround identified on the
SS4A NOFO (in previous years this deadline has been late summer), the City does not have time to wait
on this federal funding.
X-A-01
Financial Impact:
The estimated cost of services proposed by HKGi to update the People Movement Plan is $21,005, to be
funded entirely by the City.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City authorize the work and fund the updates to the People Movement Plan to
create a more competitive federal funding application. HKGi completed the original People Movement
Plan and submitted the more competitive proposal when solicited.
Alternatively, the Council could decide not to fund the work and proceed to (1) still submit the grant
application without a complete action plan or (2) not submit the SS4A grant application due to federal
funding uncertainty.

RE: Proposal to update the City of Hastings People Movement Plan
Dear Mr. Mathison and Members of the Review Committee:
For more than twenty-five years, HKGi has worked with local, county, and regional agencies to improve conditions
for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders. We have also helped communities secure millions of dollars in
grant funding to make improvements to their pedestrian and bicycle network. Since 2011, we have helped
Dakota County secure more than $22 million for projects that improve the safety, accessibility, and connectivity
of sidewalks, trails, bridges, crossings, and greenways in communities throughout the county, and we have
written grant applications for other clients in the region that have secured another $15 million for similar mobility
improvements. Writing these grant applications has provided us with valuable insights into the grant review
process. As a result, we continually leverage these lessons to refine our data collection and our mobility planning
and design approach in order to deliver to our clients actionable plans supported by solid evidence and sound
planning and design principles.
Our team for this project includes Rita Trapp, who has been HKGi’s lead grant writer and has been the point
person for nearly all of our grant writing work for Dakota County. She brings an incredible depth of experience and
knowledge about mobility planning and funding strategies. Natalie Strait will provide GIS and mapping services.
She has contributed to several grant applications and has also contributed planning support for several bicycle
and pedestrian plans and trail and greenway plans throughout the region. Aimee Hackett will provide graphic
design services. She supported the initial draft of the People Movement Plan and will update the plan report,
as needed. She will also design other visual communications materials to support the planning process and
subsequent implementation initiatives.
As Principal in Charge and Project Manager, I will lead the HKGi team and will work with City staff to create an
updated Plan that can aid the City in achieving Safe Streets 4 All objectives. I led the development of the People
Movement Plan for the City of Hastings as well as the development of a trail wayfinding plan, and I am currently
leading planning efforts for Lake Rebecca Park. I have also developed the Vermillion River Greenway Master Plan
and eight other greenway plans for Dakota County as well as bicycle and pedestrian and trail plans for other
communities both in Dakota County and elsewhere in the region. I will use my knowledge of the community and its
previous planning efforts to conduct an efficient process, and we will leverage the expertise of our staff to deliver
an action-oriented plan that will assist the City in future implementation efforts.
We appreciate the opportunity to propose on this project. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,

For more than forty years HKGi has helped communities throughout
the Upper Midwest create great places for people to live, work and play.
HKGi’s landscape architects and planners share their design expertise and
passion with clients striving to create quality places. Our community-
based approach to planning and design builds on the four key principles
that have defined HKGi’s practice since the firm’s beginning: collaborate,
listen, explore, create.
MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
HKGi has a long history of providing public sector clients with multi-modal
transportation planning services. We have helped clients throughout the
region develop new or updated bicycle-pedestrian plans, enhance key
trails and transportation corridors, and secure funds to safely connect
people to schools, jobs, and community destinations via trails, walkways,
and greenways.
Besides expanding opportunities for diverse modes of transportation,
these types of amenities also promote active living, improved public
health, and even natural resource conservation. We are passionate about
providing our clients with outstanding planning and project management
services and using our creativity and technical skills to help them improve
the quality of life in their communities.

PEOPLE MOVEMENT PLAN UPDATE / HASTINGS, MINNESOTA 10
X-A-01
HKGi recently completed the master planning process for a regional trail corridor
that cuts through the heart of south Minneapolis and links the Chain of Lakes
Regional Park at its western end with Minnehaha Regional Park at its eastern
end. The corridor follows the path of Minnehaha Creek and is a major east-west
transitway for cyclists, hikers, and automobiles.
Multi-modal design and park planning, along with restoring the health of the
creek, were at the heart of the project. HKGi and the project engineer identified
methods to mitigate frequent flooding issues and return the creek to a more
natural state wherever possible. Because the creek corridor is a significant
outdoor recreational resource for city residents, HKGi conducted park and trail
planning to strengthen the creek’s parks and activity spaces.
HKGi also led the process for developing solutions to several challenging traffic-
bicyclist-pedestrian conflict areas along the corridor. Difficult issues throughout
the corridor required an ability to explore creative ideas that serve residents and
visitors. Following completion of the plan, HKGi led the design process for the
plan’s top implementation initiative to reconfigure a problematic intersection
with frequent bicycle/pedestrian/automobile conflicts.

HKGi led the development of a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan that will guide
future investment decisions and prioritize initiatives to improve and enhance
the County’s bicycle-pedestrian network. In the initial phase of the project HKGi
collected input from stakeholders across the County and conducted an existing
conditions analysis. The existing conditions report included analyses of Level of
Comfort, trip orientation-destination, demographic trends, crash and demand
data, and identification of crossings.
In subsequent phases of the project the planning team established a hierarchy of
existing routes and trails and identified recommended new or improved routes.
HKGi also helped the County prioritize recommended improvement projects by
identifying low cost/high benefit improvements as well as crossings and focus
areas that will have the greatest impact on safety and usage of the network.
Since adoption of the plan, the County has begun several of its implementation
initiatives, including projects conducted by HKGi in downtown Scandia and along
the Battle Creek-St. Croix River Regional Trail corridor.

HKGi led a planning process to assist the City of Hastings in identifying strategies,
investments, and implementation priorities to enhance its multi-modal
transportation system. The plan includes initiatives related to off- and on-street
trails, sidewalks, connections with the county’s greenway system, crossing safety
improvements, and wayfinding.
HKGi analyzed Hastings’ existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and then
identified community destinations, which included all park and open space
amenities within the city, entertainment districts, commercial and employment
areas, schools, and civic services such as libraries and service centers. Using the
results of those analyses, HKGi’s planners identified gaps in the system and then
created a framework plan to identify different elements within the system, such
as Hubs, Primary routes, Secondary routes, and key Crossings.
Following completion of the People Movement Plan, HKGi developed a citywide
Wayfinding Plan to guide the City as it enhances navigation, connectivity, and
the multi-modal transportation user experience throughout the community. A
primary focus of the plan is identifying and linking the city’s trails to a variety of
community destinations.

HKGi is currently working with City of Apple Valley staff to on a Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan update. The planning process is currently in its first phase
which includes collecting input from community stakeholders about their
experience biking and walking in Apple Valley as well as conducting an analysis
of current conditions in the community. During this phase HKGi staff members
are identifying and inventorying community and network characteristics such as
destinations, roadway crossings, connections to regional greenways and other
transportation amenities, service gaps, wayfinding, and use patterns.
The update is intended to confirm or modify recommendations from the
current plan, offer new recommendations that may be needed due to evolving
development in the community, and identify specific projects that will improve
safety, accessibility, and connectivity. As part of its work, HKGi staff will identify
improvements that will compete well for grant funding and to supply data and
evidence to support future implementation initiatives.

Grant WritingandAssistanceServices
Since 2009, HKGi has assisted cities and counties in securing more
than $37 million in funding from a multitude of funding sources.
The funding has supported active living initiatives, park and
trail development, bridge construction, lighting, wayfinding and
interpretation signage, and amenities like benches and bike racks.
Grant programs successfully solicited include MnDNR Outdoor
Recreation, Trail Legacy, and Trail Connection grants; MnDoT
Safe Routes to Schools, Scenic Byways, and Transportation
Enhancement grants; and Federal Lands Access Program grants.
HKGi has written grant applications that have helped Dakota County secure
more than $22 million for active living improvement projects to address
multi-modal transportation connectivity and safety issues. Many of these
projects address roadway crossings such as the North Creek Greenway
pedestrian bridge near the Minnesota Zoo.
