DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Flock Safety ALPR Program – Donation Resolution and Council Direction
City Administrator Buchholtz introduced the item, noting that the City Council had
referred consideration of a donation supporting the City's Flock Safety automated
license plate reader system to a work session for additional discussion.
Police Chief Antoine reviewed the City's use of Flock Safety cameras, noting that the
City has operated two cameras since October 2024 and that the Council had
previously approved the program. He stated that the current donation represents the
third year of support from the donor.

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS

PAGE 2

September 21, 2026

Sheriff Wise provided an overview of automated license plate reader technology and
Anoka County's one-year Safe County Pilot Project involving ALPR technology and
drone-assisted response. He explained that law enforcement agencies throughout
Anoka County have used license plate reader technology for many years and that the
pilot project is intended to evaluate a coordinated countywide approach.
Sheriff Wise reviewed applicable Minnesota law governing ALPR technology, including
restrictions on the collection, retention, access, and use of data. He explained that
ALPR cameras photograph vehicles traveling on public roadways and record limited
information, including the vehicle image, license plate, date, time, and location. The
technology does not provide continuous vehicle tracking or facial recognition.
Sheriff Wise stated that law enforcement generally uses ALPR information in two
ways: to identify vehicles appearing on authorized "hot lists," such as stolen vehicles
and Amber Alerts, and as an investigative tool when law enforcement is attempting to
identify a vehicle associated with a reported crime. Searches are logged and subject to
audit, and searches involving a particular identified suspect may require a search
warrant under Minnesota law.
Chief Antoine reported that the Spring Lake Park Police Department has reduced its
ALPR data-retention period to seven days. He also noted that certain search terms,
including those associated with immigration and reproductive health matters, are
restricted. The Department continues to audit use of the system and is subject to
regular compliance reviews.
Councilmember Wendling asked about the system's ability to identify distinguishing
characteristics of vehicles, including bumper stickers. Sheriff Wise explained that the
system can recognize vehicle characteristics that may assist investigators in narrowing
a search, such as vehicle color, body damage, or other distinguishing features. Such
information would be used in connection with an authorized law-enforcement
purpose and remains subject to applicable legal restrictions.
Chief Antoine provided examples of cases in which ALPR information assisted Spring
Lake Park investigations, including a federal bribery investigation and a burglary
investigation involving a local business.
The Council discussed privacy protections, accountability, public-safety benefits, and
the importance of maintaining appropriate safeguards governing the technology.
Several Councilmembers expressed comfort with the City's existing safeguards and the
statutory restrictions governing ALPR use.
The Council also discussed the cost of the program. Chief Antoine stated that the City's
current cost for its two cameras is approximately $6,000 for the year and that the
proposed donation would offset approximately one-half of that expense.

September 21, 2026

Sheriff Wise explained that any permanent countywide program following completion
of the pilot project would require additional consideration and approval. Potential
funding mechanisms could include a countywide public-safety levy or bond, or
allocation of costs among participating agencies through the Anoka County Joint Law
Enforcement Council. Any future funding proposal affecting Spring Lake Park would
return to the appropriate governing bodies for consideration.
Following discussion, the Council indicated that the resolution accepting the donation
could return to the regular City Council agenda under Unfinished Business.
B. Discussion from the Floor – Review of Agenda Placement and Procedures (GoodboeBisschoff)
Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff introduced a discussion regarding the City's
"Discussion from the Floor" portion of regular City Council meetings. She stated that
public-comment procedures had been discussed at the League of Minnesota Cities
Annual Conference and by the North Metro Telecommunications Commission.
Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff described recently approved changes to the North
Metro Telecommunications Commission's rules of decorum. Those changes reduced
individual public-comment time, established an overall time limit, and limited
comments to matters germane to the Commission and to residents of member
communities or individuals having a direct interest in Commission business.
Administrator Buchholtz explained that Minnesota's Open Meeting Law generally
requires meetings to be open to the public but does not require a governing body to
provide an opportunity for public comment. He noted that city councils may establish
reasonable rules governing public-comment periods.
The Council discussed whether changes should be made to Spring Lake Park's current
procedures. Options discussed included retaining public comment near the beginning
of the meeting, reducing the existing three-minute individual speaking limit,
establishing an overall time limit, limiting comments to matters relevant to City
business, and determining who should be eligible to speak.
Councilmembers expressed differing views regarding restrictions on public comment.
Some members expressed concern that additional requirements could create
unnecessary barriers for residents seeking to address their elected officials. There was
general support for continuing to provide an opportunity for public comment while
considering reasonable rules to help meetings remain orderly and efficient.
Because not all Councilmembers were present, no final decision was made. The
Council directed staff to prepare draft public-comment rules for consideration at a
future meeting. The draft will provide the Council with an opportunity to further

discuss potential time limits, eligibility standards, subject-matter limitations, and other
procedural requirements before taking formal action.

Kristi Cobbs, 8035 Jefferson Street NE, voiced concerns about surveillance technology and
emphasized that the central issue is protecting community trust. She noted that trust between
residents and the police has been built through long-standing community engagement and

Page 10 of 74

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS

PAGE 2

September 21, 2026

cautioned against risking it for technologies that many communities are questioning. She urged
the council to establish a clear, transparent process for evaluating new tools and to ensure
residents have meaningful opportunities to be heard, stressing that trust is built over time and
can be quickly lost.
Abi Stark, 609 Manor Drive NE, expressed concerns about Flock camera use, noting that officer
training comes solely from the vendor and lacks guidance on proper search practices or
documentation. She highlighted missing search-reason data in the city’s transparency portal
and pointed out inconsistencies revealed through audit logs. Stark also raised concerns about
extensive queries from outside agencies with varying policies, questioning whether the privacy
trade-offs are justified given the small number of local searches. She urged the council to
consider clearer oversight and limits on Flock data use.
Stephanie Pylka, 658 79th Avenue NE, requested that the council consider allowing backyard
chickens, noting that several nearby cities already permit small, contained flocks of hens. She
highlighted potential neighborhood benefits, including companionship, fresh eggs, organic
fertilizer, and natural pest control.
Halyn Roth, 7914 Able Street NE, summarized two concerns previously shared with the council
by email. She urged the city to end its contract with Flock and prohibit future ALPR use, citing
privacy risks, potential misuse, and documented errors. She also opposed moving “discussion
from the floor” to the end of meetings, arguing it would discourage public participation and
conflict with the council’s stated values on citizen involvement.
Karl Stark, 609 Manor Drive NE, highlighted several incidents across the United States where
law enforcement officers and Flock Safety systems were misused for surveillance and tracking,
including cases of stalking, unauthorized data searches, and inappropriate access to live camera
feeds. He noted that corporate employees and outside agencies have accessed sensitive
footage and license plate data in violation of state laws, with some systems lacking basic
security protections. He emphasized that these abuses, along with numerous documented
cases from the Institute for Justice, show that Flock has failed to safeguard its network, posing
serious threats to Fourth Amendment privacy rights.
6.

PRESENTATION
A. Presentation of 2025 Audited Financial Statements
Jason Miller, Audit Manager with CohnReznick, reported that the city received an
unmodified audit opinion for 2025, confirming that its financial statements are fairly
presented under U.S. GAAP. He stated that no Minnesota legal compliance issues were
found, and a single audit was not required. He noted one ongoing material weakness:
auditors must make significant adjustments to the city’s trial balance each year, along with
one prior-period adjustment affecting government-wide statements.

Page 11 of 74

September 21, 2026

Mr. Miller stated that revenues continue to grow steadily, with property and sales taxes
making up nearly half of governmental revenues. He noted intergovernmental revenues and
service charges remain important secondary sources. He noted that expenditures are led by
public safety at 43%, followed by general government and Parks & Recreation. He said the
City maintains a strong unassigned general fund balance at 62% of expenditures, well above
state recommendations.
Mr. Miller said compared to similar nearby cities, Spring Lake Park taxes and spends at a
lower per-capita rate. Debt service remains manageable, with larger City Hall bond
payments beginning in 2027. He said Capital projects for 2025 included City Hall
renovations, street improvements, land purchases, and parks equipment. He noted that the
Utility funds show steady revenue growth and positive net income.
Mr. Miller stated that overall, the audit found the city in solid financial condition, with
healthy reserves, decreasing debt, and no compliance issues.
Motion made by Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff to accept the 2025 Audited Financial
Statements.
Voting Aye: Councilmember Wendling, Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff,
Councilmember Moran, Mayor Nelson. Motion carried.

year’s date. Chief Antoine stated that Detective Imig handled 11 felony cases, one gross
misdemeanor, and three forfeiture cases for the month.
Chief Antoine gave an update on his activities. He stated that he attended several meetings
and trainings, including the Hennepin Tech law enforcement graduation and Regional Police
Chief meetings, and reported a successful juvenile justice compliance check. He provided
updates on hiring a new officer, progress on Tyler system training, and an upcoming
proposal from Alexandra House. He also reminded the public that October is Domestic
Violence Awareness Month and encouraged engagement with Alexandra House’s programs
and volunteer opportunities.
9. ORDINANCES AND/OR RESOLUTIONS - None
A. Resolution 2026-43, Adopting Proposed 2026 Taxes Collectable in 2027
Administrator Buchholtz explained that the proposed preliminary 2026 property tax levy for
collection in 2027 is $5,270,704, setting the maximum levy amount for 2027. He noted the
levy reflects the preliminary general fund budget and represents a 5.79% increase from the
prior year. He stated that the amount can be reduced in December but not increased, and
staff recommended approval to properly establish the levy ceiling.
Motion made by Councilmember Wendling to approve Resolution 2026-43, Adopting
Proposed 2026 Taxes Collectable in 2027.
Voting Aye: Councilmember Wendling, Councilmember Moran, Mayor Nelson. Abstain:
Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff. Motion carried.
B. Resolution 2026-44, Cancelling or Reducing Bond Levies – 2026-2027
Administrator Buchholtz explained that the resolution authorizes a $185,275.50 reduction
in the 2027 property tax levy related to the 2024 City Hall renovation bond. He noted that
because sufficient funds are already available, auditors can reduce the required levy
amount accordingly. He noted that if the resolution is not approved, the full amount would
be added to the levy.
Motion made by Mayor Nelson to approve Resolution 2026-44, Cancelling or Reducing Bond
Levies – 2026-2027.
Voting Aye: Councilmember Wendling, Councilmember Goodboe-Bisschoff,
Councilmember Moran, Mayor Nelson. Motion carried.

renovation project nears completion. He explained that $267,177.69 in earlier project
expenses will be reimbursed to the building maintenance fund using bond proceeds, and an
additional $547,609.09 in unused project funds will be transferred to the 2024 bond debt
service fund for future principal and interest payments. He noted that a small balance will
remain for any final project costs and recommended approval of the resolution.

extensions. He emphasized that the request is a routine rebid, not due to any problems
with the current auditor, who is welcome to submit a proposal.

REPORT
TO:

Spring Lake Park City Council

FROM:

Jeff Baker, Code Enforcement Director/Building Official

RE:

Code Enforcement Monthly Report for September 2026

DATE:

September 30, 2026

The Spring Lake Park Code Enforcement department is the authority having jurisdiction for all
fire, rental, property, nuisance, and zoning codes within Spring Lake Park.
In September, a total of 55 permits were issued, compared to 60 permits issued in September
2025. The breakdown of permits issued is as follows:





Building: 22
Fire Suppression & Alarm: 2
Mechanical: 10
Plumbing: 9
Electrical: 9
Zoning: 3

Code Enforcement conducted a total of 178 inspections during the month of September,
consisting of:
 Building: 58
 Rental: 15
 Zoning: 1
 Nuisance: 98
 Electrical: 6
Additionally, 16 administrative citations were issued for non-compliance.
We are almost ready to begin demolition of the Terrace Park warming house. It has taken quite a
bit of coordination to get CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy scheduled to disconnect the
utilities, along with completing the required asbestos testing. Both utility companies have now
completed their work, and all asbestos testing results came back negative.
We have been working with Spring Lake Park High School staff to obtain the required
documentation for the building permit. Unfortunately, all work associated with the new stadium
scoreboard has already been completed. This raises significant concerns, as the footings were
excavated and poured without the required inspection taking place.

Page 20 of 74

The next steps will include obtaining all required permit documents, engineered plans, and
supporting documentation for the scoreboard and foundation. Because the footings were poured
without inspection, the school and contractor will also need to provide acceptable documentation
verifying the footing size, depth, reinforcement, and overall compliance with the approved plans
and applicable code requirements. If adequate documentation cannot be provided, additional
verification may be required before the building permit and final inspection can be approved.

Construction Update:
1313 Osborne Rd #120 – The Grey Area (Cannabis Cultivation) the building permit has been
issued. No inspections yet.
8299 University Ave – Nashmi Restaurant. Rough-In inspections have started coming in.
7777 Highway 65 #C – Event Center. Still working on their CUP paperwork. All Rough-In
inspections have been completed.
In September of 2026, I also attended the following appointments:
 City Council meeting on September 7th.
 Department head meeting September 8th.
 Terrace Park Meeting September 24th.
 Planning Commission September 28th.

This concludes the Code Enforcement monthly report for September 2026. If anyone has any
questions or concerns regarding my report, I would be happy to answer them at this time.

Ordinance No. 512 – Secondary School Stadium Video Displays

The City Council is asked to consider Ordinance No. 512, an ordinance amending Chapter 16 of the
Spring Lake Park City Code to establish regulations for secondary school stadium video displays.
The need for the ordinance arose following installation of a new video scoreboard at Spring Lake
Park High School. The City's existing regulations for dynamic displays were developed primarily for
electronic message signs viewed from public streets and do not adequately address the operational
characteristics of a stadium video display. Stadium displays are intended to provide scoring
information, event information, live video, instant replay, player introductions and other visual
content for spectators attending an athletic or school event. At the same time, their size, brightness,
changing images and evening operation can create impacts for nearby residential properties.
Ordinance No. 512 creates a separate regulatory framework intended to accommodate the legitimate
operational needs of a secondary school stadium while providing objective standards to protect
surrounding residential properties and public safety. The ordinance also prevents a stadium display
from being operated as a general outdoor advertising platform.
Proposed Regulations
The ordinance defines a secondary school stadium and stadium video display and establishes specific
eligibility, dimensional, operational, lighting and enforcement standards.
A stadium video display would be allowed only as an accessory structure to a lawful secondary
school use and only within a qualifying secondary school stadium. No more than one stadium video
display would be permitted on a secondary school campus. The illuminated display face must be
oriented primarily toward the competition field and spectator seating and located and designed to
minimize visibility and illumination from nearby residential property and public streets. The
illuminated face must be at least 150 feet from residential property located in front of or beside the
display, while the rear and sides of the display must remain opaque and non-illuminated.
The maximum overall height of the display and sign apparatus would be 45 feet, with a maximum
width of 35 feet. The dynamic video area would be limited to 650 square feet and the total copy and
graphic area, including permanent identification and sponsor panels, would be limited to 900 square
feet.
Operation would generally be limited to authorized stadium events. The display may begin operating
no earlier than 60 minutes before an event and generally must cease operation no later than 30
minutes after the event. The display must normally be turned off by 10:00 p.m. Limited operation

Page 22 of 74

may continue for an event extending beyond that time, subject to additional restrictions, with
dynamic operation ending no later than 10:30 p.m. The ordinance also prohibits strobing, blinking,
rapid full-screen flashing and similar effects and limits testing outside of authorized events.
The ordinance establishes maximum brightness levels of 5,000 nits during daylight hours and 1,000
nits during nighttime hours. These limits are regulatory ceilings and do not create a right to operate
at those levels. The display must include an ambient-light sensor and automatic dimming controls,
and the City must approve the maximum authorized nighttime setting. The ordinance also limits
total illumination attributable to the stadium video display, stadium lighting and other campus
exterior lighting operated in connection with an event to 0.5 foot-candle at residential property lines.
The City may require a lower brightness setting if field measurements, observations, complaint
investigations or other credible evidence demonstrate that additional reduction is necessary to
comply with the ordinance.
Applications would be required to include a site plan, scaled elevations, manufacturer specifications,
a photometric plan prepared by a qualified lighting professional, an operating plan, structural plans
and other information necessary to demonstrate compliance. The City may also require independent
professional review at the applicant's expense. Property owners within 350 feet of the secondary
school stadium would receive mailed notice before City Council consideration of a new or materially
amended sign permit.
The ordinance contains ongoing compliance, testing and enforcement provisions. The owner must
document that required brightness settings, dimming controls and malfunction safeguards are
properly programmed before regular operation. The City may investigate supported complaints,
require professional testing, direct that brightness be reduced or the display shut off, and suspend
dynamic operation following repeated substantiated violations.
Previously Installed Display
Because the Spring Lake Park High School display was installed before adoption of the ordinance
and before all required City approvals were obtained, the ordinance specifically provides that its
prior installation does not establish a vested right or legalize the display. The School District must
obtain all permits and approvals required by law and demonstrate compliance with the amended City
Code before the dynamic or luminous portion of the display may be placed into regular operation.
The School District will also be required to obtain the necessary building and sign permits. Because
the structure was installed before the required permits were issued, the City's standard doubled
permit fees will apply. The Building Official will require sufficient documentation to verify that the
installed structure, including its foundations, complies with applicable building code requirements.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on Ordinance No. 512 on September 28,
2026. The Commission discussed the proposed operational and lighting standards, the effect of the
display on nearby residential properties, the permitting history of the existing display and the
requirement that the School District demonstrate structural and code compliance.

Page 23 of 74

The Commission also discussed whether the display should be available for use during private rental
events held at the stadium. Commissioners noted that stadium rentals are an established School
District activity and provide revenue to the District. Following discussion, the Commission
unanimously amended the proposed ordinance to remove private rentals from the activities
excluded from the definition of an authorized stadium event. As amended, an "authorized stadium
event" includes a private rental event authorized by the School District and conducted within the
secondary school stadium. Practices, rehearsals, camps, classroom activities and routine maintenance
and testing remain excluded.
The Planning Commission ultimately voted 5-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance No. 512, as
amended.
Staff Analysis
Staff believes the ordinance establishes an appropriate regulatory framework for a type of sign that is
substantially different from the City's conventional electronic message signs. Rather than attempting
to regulate the stadium display through standards designed for highway-oriented commercial signs,
the ordinance establishes objective requirements specifically addressing its location, dimensions,
brightness, hours of operation, event-related use and impacts on neighboring residential properties.
The ordinance also provides the City with continuing oversight. Maximum brightness and
dimensional standards are ceilings rather than entitlements, and the City retains the ability to require
lower brightness, additional shielding, testing or other reasonable measures when warranted by
actual conditions. The ordinance further establishes a clear complaint investigation and enforcement
process if the display does not operate in compliance with the approved standards.
Staff believes the Planning Commission's amendment regarding private rentals is reasonable. A
rental event authorized by the School District and conducted within the stadium is more comparable
to other authorized stadium activities than to general commercial operation of the display. The
ordinance continues to prohibit leasing or making the display available to a third party for use as a
general outdoor advertising platform.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 512, as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
Recommended Motion: Motion to approve Ordinance No. 512, an ordinance amending
Chapter 16 of the Spring Lake Park City Code relating to secondary school stadium video
displays.

SECTION 3:
ADOPTION “16.24.082 Stadium Video Displays” of the
Spring Lake Park Municipal Code is hereby added as follows:

Page 4

Page 28 of 74

ADO P TIO N
16.24.082 Stadium Video Displays(Added)
A. Purpose. This section establishes performance standards for a stadium video display
serving a secondary school stadium. Its purpose is to accommodate the functional
needs of a secondary school stadium while protecting nearby residential property,
preventing traffic distraction and ensuring that the display does not operate as a general
outdoor advertising sign.
B. Eligibility and location.
1. A stadium video display is permitted only as an accessory structure to a lawful
secondary school use, only within a secondary school stadium as those terms
are defined in SLPC 16.24.010, and only after approval of a permanent sign
permit by the City Council under SLPC 16.24.030.
2. No more than one stadium video display is permitted on a secondary school
campus.
3. The display face must be oriented primarily toward the competition field and
fixed spectator seating. Its location, elevation, tilt, shielding and viewing angle
must minimize visibility and illumination from residential property and public
streets to the greatest extent practicable while maintaining reasonable visibility
for participants and spectators within the stadium.
4. The illuminated face of a stadium video display must be located at least 150
feet from any parcel that is zoned or lawfully used for residential purposes and
is located in front of or to the side of the illuminated face, as shown on the
approved site plan. This setback does not apply to a residential parcel located
behind the display. The rear and sides of the display must be opaque and
nonilluminated.
C. Dimensional standards.
1. The maximum overall height of the stadium video display and its sign
apparatus is 45 feet, measured vertically from the lowest point of finished
grade adjoining the sign apparatus to the highest point of the display, structure,
cabinet, identification panel, speaker, decorative element or other attached
component, whichever is highest.
2. The maximum width of the stadium video display and its sign apparatus is 35
feet.
3. The dynamic video display area may not exceed 650 square feet.
4. The total copy and graphic area, including the dynamic video display,
permanent identification panels, sponsor panels and any other messagebearing surface, may not exceed 900 square feet.
5. Dynamic display area is measured by the smallest rectangle enclosing the
illuminated pixels. Total copy and graphic area is measured by the smallest
rectangle or combination of rectangles enclosing each message-bearing
surface. Structural supports located entirely below the message-bearing
surfaces are not included in copy and graphic area.
D. Hours and manner of operation.

Page 5

Page 29 of 74

1. Except for testing permitted by Paragraph D,7, a stadium video display may
operate only in connection with an authorized stadium event, beginning no
earlier than 60 minutes before the scheduled start and ending no later than 30
minutes after the event concludes. All authorized stadium events must be
conducted within a reasonable and finite period of time.
2. The display must be turned off by 10:00 p.m. If an authorized stadium event
that began before 9:00 p.m. continues beyond 10:00 p.m., the display may
remain in operation until 30 minutes after the event concludes, but in no event
later than 10:30 p.m. After 10:30 p.m., only static, non-advertising scoring and
event-status information may remain illuminated, at the lowest approved
nighttime setting that permits the information to be read within the stadium. In
the event of illumination of static, non-advertising and event-status information
after 10:30 p.m., all such displays must be turned off no later than 15 minutes
after the event concludes.
3. Live video, instant replay, player introductions, scoring animations and other
displays involving motion may be shown beginning 60 minutes before the
scheduled start and ending no later than 30 minutes after the official
conclusion of an authorized stadium event, but in no event after 10:30 p.m. At
all other authorized operating times, each image must be static, complete in
itself and displayed for at least 20 seconds. Transitions between static images
must be instantaneous and without special effects.
4. Strobing, blinking, rapid full-screen flashing, scrolling, traveling effects and
displays that imitate or resemble an emergency vehicle, traffic-control device
or official warning signal are prohibited at all times.
5. The display may not be leased or made available to a third party for operation
as a general outdoor advertising platform. Sponsor acknowledgments may be
displayed only during the authorized operating period established by this
paragraph and are included in the regulated copy and graphic area.
6. Any sound system incorporated into or operated with the display may be used
only in connection with an authorized stadium event and must comply with
SLPC 16.28.010 and all other applicable noise regulations.
7. Illuminated testing and maintenance outside an authorized stadium event may
occur only between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., for no more than 30 consecutive
minutes and no more than 60 total minutes in one day. Routine illuminated
testing may occur on no more than two days in a calendar month. The twoday limitation does not apply to testing directed by the City, repair of
equipment, investigation of a reported malfunction or investigation of a
complaint. Planned testing after sunset requires at least 48 hours’ prior notice
to the Administrator, Clerk/Treasurer or designee. Nonilluminated diagnostics
are not subject to this clause.
E. Brightness, illumination and glare.
1. The display may not exceed 5,000 nits during daylight hours or 1,000 nits
between one-half hour before sunset and one-half hour after sunrise. These
values are absolute maximums and do not create a right to operate at those
levels.

Page 6

Page 30 of 74

2. The display must be equipped with a functioning ambient-light sensor and
automatic dimming controls that continuously adjust brightness according to
ambient conditions. The maximum authorized nighttime setting must be
approved by the City, password protected and inaccessible to routine event
operators. Manual override may be used only to reduce brightness or
temporarily shut off the display.
3. At any residential property line, the total illumination attributable to the
stadium video display, stadium lighting and other exterior lighting operated in
connection with a stadium event may not exceed five-tenths (0.5) foot-candle.
Compliance must be determined with the display showing a full-white image
at its maximum authorized nighttime setting and with stadium lighting and
other controllable exterior lighting operating at the maximum settings
authorized for nighttime event use. To exclude illumination from streetlights,
neighboring properties and other sources not under the owner’s control, a
baseline reading must be taken at the same location with the display, stadium
lighting and other controllable exterior lighting on the secondary school
campus turned off. The baseline reading must be subtracted from the eventcondition reading to determine the total illumination attributable to the
secondary school campus. For a vertical reading, the meter must be held
approximately five feet above finished grade with the sensor facing the
stadium. For a horizontal reading, the meter must be positioned at the same
location with the sensor facing upward. The total campus-attributable
illumination must comply with the 0.5-foot-candle limit for both readings.
4. Regardless of measured illumination, the display may not cast concentrated
direct illumination into a dwelling or produce discomfort or nuisance glare that
materially interferes with sleep, ordinary use of residential property, visual
performance or visibility for a person of normal sensitivity. Visibility of the
display face, standing alone, is not a violation.
5. The City may establish or require a brightness setting below the numerical
maximums when field measurements, direct observation, complaint
investigation or other credible evidence demonstrates that a lower setting is
necessary to comply with this paragraph or SLPC 16.28.010.
6. Visibility of the illuminated face of a compliant stadium video display does
not, by itself, constitute a prohibited direct view of a light source under SLPC
16.28.010 Paragraph B,3,d. This clause does not exempt the display from any
illumination, glare, nuisance, traffic-safety or other requirement of this title.
7. Vegetation may be approved as supplemental screening but may not be the
principal means of meeting a brightness, illumination, glare or orientation
standard. Any approved vegetative screen must provide year-round opacity
and be maintained for the life of the display.
8. The maximum dimensions and brightness levels stated in this section are
regulatory ceilings, not entitlements. The City Council may approve smaller
dimensions, a lower brightness setting, additional shielding or other reasonable
permit conditions supported by the application record and necessary to
achieve compliance with this section.

F. Permit application and supporting information. In addition to the information required
by SLPC 16.24.020 and any building or electrical permit requirements, an application
for a stadium video display must include:
1. A site plan showing all property lines, zoning classifications, lawful residential
uses, public streets, stadium improvements, display setbacks, the orientation
and plane of the illuminated display face, and residential dwellings located
within 500 feet of the display.
2. Scaled elevations showing the entire display and sign apparatus, finished
grades, method of measuring height, dynamic display area and total copy and
graphic area.
3. Manufacturer specifications identifying maximum and minimum brightness in
nits, ambient-light sensors, automatic and manual dimming capabilities,
horizontal and vertical viewing angles, operating controls and malfunction
safeguards.
4. A photometric plan prepared and certified by a qualified lighting professional.
The plan must model a full-white image at the proposed daytime and
nighttime settings and show existing ambient illumination and the display's
additional horizontal and vertical illumination at residential property lines and
at the exterior facades and windows of residential dwellings within 500 feet of
the display. A residential property located entirely behind the plane of the
illuminated display face may be excluded from display-specific calculations if
the rear and sides of the display are opaque and nonilluminated. Illumination
reaching that property from stadium lighting or other campus lighting must still
be included when applicable. The City Council may waive or reduce the
photometric plan requirement upon finding, based on the display’s location,
orientation, proposed brightness settings and other available information, that
sufficient information exists to reasonably evaluate compliance with this
section. The Council may impose conditions on the waiver. A waiver does not
relieve the owner of compliance with applicable illumination, glare or
operating standards or limit the City’s authority to require testing under
Paragraph G.
5. An operating plan identifying authorized events, hours, permitted display
modes, proposed daytime and nighttime settings, access controls, testing
procedures, recordkeeping, complaint response procedures and the name and
24-hour contact information of a responsible operator authorized to dim or
shut off the display.
6. Structural plans, wind load calculations, electrical plans and any other
information required by the Building Official or Administrator,
Clerk/Treasurer to determine compliance with this Code and applicable
building code requirements.
7. The City may require independent professional review of submitted plans and
specifications, to be completed at the cost of the applicant, and may require
reasonable revisions necessary to demonstrate compliance with this section.
8. At least 10 days before City Council consideration of a new or materially
amended sign permit, the City shall mail notice to the owners of property

Page 8

Page 32 of 74

within 350 feet of the secondary school stadium. The applicant shall provide
the required ownership list and reimburse the City's reasonable notice costs.
Failure of a property owner to receive notice does not invalidate the
proceeding if the City made a good-faith effort to provide notice.
G. Compliance verification and testing.
1. Before regular operation, the owner shall provide documentation from the
manufacturer, installer or other qualified representative confirming that the
approved brightness settings, ambient-light sensor, automatic dimming
controls, password protection and malfunction controls have been
programmed and are operational. The owner shall maintain these features in
working condition and provide documentation of their operation upon
reasonable City request.
2. The City may investigate a supported complaint or other credible evidence of
noncompliance by conducting observations, reviewing operating records or
taking light measurements. The owner shall reasonably cooperate with the
investigation, including providing access to the display controls and operating
the display with a full-white image or turning the display off when necessary
for testing.
3. Field measurements must follow the procedure established in Paragraph E.3
and include horizontal and vertical readings at the nearest potentially affected
residential property lines. The City may require measurements at other
locations and, where lawful access is available, at representative residential
facades and windows.
4. When an investigation reasonably indicates possible noncompliance, produces
inconclusive or disputed results, or requires specialized expertise, the City may
require testing by a qualified lighting professional acceptable to the City. The
owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with testing, professional
review, documentation and corrective work required under this section,
including reimbursement of reasonable costs incurred by the City.
5. If testing or other credible evidence establishes that the display exceeds an
approved brightness setting, exceeds the illumination limit, produces
prohibited glare or otherwise violates this section, the owner shall immediately
reduce the brightness, modify the operation or turn off the display as directed
by the City. The City may establish a lower maximum authorized nighttime
setting when necessary to achieve compliance.
6. The maximum authorized nighttime setting may not be increased without prior
written City approval. The City may require additional documentation or
testing following a proposed increase, a supported complaint, a change in
equipment or software affecting light output, replacement of display modules,
alteration of the display or other credible evidence of noncompliance.
H. Operating records and inspection.
1. The owner must retain system-generated records of operating dates, times and
brightness settings when available and must maintain a supplemental log
identifying the associated authorized stadium event and any manual override,

Page 9

Page 33 of 74

malfunction, complaint or corrective action.
2. Records required by this paragraph must be retained for at least two years and
provided to the City upon request.
3. Upon reasonable notice, the owner must provide the City access to the display
controls, settings and records necessary to verify compliance. Nothing in this
clause authorizes entry into a nonpublic area without consent, an
administrative warrant or other lawful authority.
I. Malfunction, violations and suspension.
1. The display must be designed and programmed to freeze in one static position
or shut off if a malfunction occurs. The owner or operator must immediately
discontinue any noncompliant display when notified by the City.
2. The Administrator, Clerk/Treasurer or designee may order the dynamic or
luminous portion of the display temporarily shut off when it is malfunctioning,
exceeds an approved brightness setting, violates the hours or display-mode
limitations, or creates an immediate traffic-safety, public safety or
neighborhood-lighting concern. Static, nonluminous scoring information may
continue if it can be operated independently, safely and lawfully.
3. Unless immediate shutdown is required under Paragraph I,2, the City shall
provide written notice identifying the violation and a reasonable period for
correction. Failure to correct the violation constitutes grounds for suspension
or revocation under SLPC 16.24.030.
4. Two or more substantiated violations within any 12-month period constitute
grounds for the City Council to suspend dynamic operation and limit the
display to static scoring functions for a period determined by the Council after
notice and an opportunity to be heard.
5. These remedies are cumulative and do not limit any remedy otherwise
available under this Code or state law.
J. Relationship to other regulations.
1. A stadium video display is governed by this section. If a provision of this
section conflicts with another provision of SLPC Chapter 16, this section
controls. Except as expressly modified by this section, all other applicable
provisions of SLPC Chapter 16 remain in effect.
2. Approval under this section does not constitute approval of any variance,
building permit, electrical permit, structural plan, land-use approval or other
authorization required by law.
3. A material change in location, orientation, height, width, display area, light
output, viewing angle, operating technology or manner of operation requires a
new or amended sign permit before the change is made.

SECTION 4:
AMENDMENT “16.28.010 Performance Standards” of the
Spring Lake Park Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows:

Page 10

Page 34 of 74

AMEN DMEN T
16.28.010 Performance Standards
A. Intent. It is the intent of this section to establish performance standards to minimize
conflict between land uses, to preserve the use and enjoyment of property, protect
property values and to protect the public health, safety and welfare. These standards
shall apply to all uses of land and structures and are in addition to any requirements
applying to specific zoning districts.
B. Standards.
1. Noise.
a. Minn. Rules § 7030, as may be amended from time to time, is hereby
adopted by reference as a minimum standard for noise. In addition,
any use established must be so operated that no noise resulting from
the use is noticeable above typically expected levels to a reasonable
person beyond the boundaries of the lot line of the site on which the
use is located. This standard shall not apply to incidental traffic,
parking, loading, construction or normal maintenance operations. The
city may also limit the hours of operation of outdoor noise if it is
deemed necessary to reduce impacts on the surrounding
neighborhood.
b. Noise levels measured at the adjoining property line of residential uses
or residentially zoned property shall not exceed 55dBA during the
hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 60dBA during the hours of 7:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with the highest one-minute equivalent noise level
being no more than 75dB. A noise study conducted by a qualified
professional may be required to establish existing ambient noise levels
before development of a proposed use and actual noise levels after
construction and operation of the proposed use.
2. Odor. No use shall produce unreasonable or disturbing odors beyond the
property line exceeding applicable regulations established by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency.
3. Exterior lighting.
a. Exterior lighting shall be designed and arranged to limit direct
illumination and glare upon or into any contiguous parcel. Reflected
glare or spill light shall not exceed five-tenths foot-candles as
measured on the property line when abutting any residential parcel
and one foot-candle on any abutting commercial or industrial parcel.
Street lights installed in the public right-of-way shall be excepted from
these standards. For a secondary school campus containing a stadium
video display, compliance shall be measured in accordance with
SLPC 16.24.082 Paragraph E.3.
b. Mitigative measures shall be employed to limit glare and spill light to
protect neighboring parcels and to maintain traffic safety on public
roads. These measures shall include lenses, shields, louvers, prismatic

Page 11

Page 35 of 74

control devices and limitations on the height and types of fixtures. The
city may also limit the hours of operation of outdoor lighting if it is
necessary to reduce impacts on the surrounding neighborhood.
c. No flickering or flashing lights shall be permitted, except as expressly
allowed for a stadium video display under SLPC 16.24.082.
d. Direct, off-site views of the light source shall not be permitted except
for globe and/or ornamental light fixtures approved in conjunction
with a site and building plan and stadium video displays permitted
under SLPC 16.24.082. Globe and ornamental fixtures shall only be
approved when the applicant can demonstrate that off-site impacts
stemming from direct views of the bulb are mitigated by fixture design
and/or location. Visibility of the illuminated face of a stadium video
display does not, by itself, constitute a prohibited direct view of a light
source; however, the display remains subject to all illumination, glare,
nuisance, public safety and traffic-safety standards of this Code.
e. The city may require submission of a light distribution plan lighting
plan or photometric plan showing fixture locations, mounting heights,
shielding, proposed hours of operation, calculated illumination levels
at property lines and other information reasonably if deemed
necessary to ensure compliance with the intent of this chapter.
4. Glare. Glare, whether direct or reflected, such as from floodlights, spotlights,
or high temperature processes, and as differentiated from general illumination,
shall not be visible beyond the site of origin at any property line.Direct or
reflected glare from any use, structure, fixture, or illumination source may not
create a sensation of brightness that causes annoyance, discomfort, decreased
visual performance, or reduced visibility to a person of normal sensitivity on
adjacent property or a public street. The mere visibility of a lighted fixture or
illuminated surface does not, by itself, establish a violation; however, the
fixture or surface remains subject to the illumination limits and other
requirements of this section.
5. Vibration. No use shall at any time cause earth vibrations perceptible beyond
the limits of the property on which the operation is located.
6. Smoke and particulate matter. No use shall produce or emit smoke, dust or
particulate matter exceeding applicable regulations established by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
7. Toxic or noxious matter. No use or operation shall emit a concentration of
toxic, noxious or corrosive matter across the property line which exceeds
applicable regulations established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
8. Radiation. No operation shall be conducted which exceeds the standards
established by applicable regulations of the Minnesota Department of Health.
9. Hazard. Every operation shall be carried on with reasonable precautions
against fire and explosion hazards. All materials regulated in this section shall
be utilized, stored, manufactured and handled in accordance with the
Minnesota State Fire Code, as may be amended from time to time.
10. Heat and humidity. No use shall produce any unreasonable, disturbing or

Page 12

Page 36 of 74

unnecessary emissions of heat or humidity beyond the property line which
cause material distress, discomfort or injury to persons or ordinary sensitivity.
11. Electromagnetic interference. No use shall produce electromagnetic
interference with normal radio or television reception in any residential district,
or exceed applicable standards established by any applicable federal or state
regulations.
12. Liquid or solid waste. All uses shall be subject to applicable regulations or the
city governing discharge into a public storm or sanitary sewer, waterway or
stream.
13. Visual.
a. It is hereby affirmed as essential public policy that the appearance of
this community is a proper matter for public concern and that all open
spaces, buildings, signs, plantings, surfaces, and structures which may
be seen are subject to the provisions of this title.
b. All principal buildings other than single- and two-family homes shall
be designed by a registered architect and shall be certified in
accordance with the appropriate statutes of the state, including, but not
limited to, the Minnesota State Building Code.. The application for a
building permit shall be accompanied by exterior elevations of the
proposed building which will adequately and accurately indicate the
height, size, bulk, design, and the appearance of all elevations and a
description of the construction and materials proposed to be used
therein.
c. Commercial districts.
(1) All structures in commercial districts shall have an exterior
finish consisting of the following permitted materials:
(A) Brick
(B) Stone (natural or cementitious)
(C) Decorative concrete block or integral colored block
(D) Architectural glass
(E) Stucco (natural or artificial, including exterior
insulated finishing systems (EFIS)
(F) Fiber cement siding
(G) Precast concrete
(H) Factory-finished metal paneling materials, as an
exterior material for architectural trim
(I) Other comparable materials as approved by the
Zoning Administrator.
(2) The building design should exhibit architectural control
which seeks to be creative and maximize building lines,
shades and angles to maximize architectural uniqueness.
(3) All buildings shall contain a concrete floor.
(4) All buildings shall incorporate similar exterior materials on all
sides of a building.
d. Light industrial district.

Page 13

Page 37 of 74

(1) All structures in the light industrial district shall have an
exterior finish consisting of the following permitted materials:
(A) Materials listed in c(1) above.
(B) Based on building size, height, location and/or
special use, the city may approve the use of factoryfinished metal paneling materials or its equivalent for
exterior wall surfaces provided such materials are
used in conjunction with other materials listed above.
Use of factory-finished metal paneling or its
equivalent shall not exceed thirty five percent (35%)
of the cumulative area of all building walls. The
Council may approve a greater percentage, not to
exceed sixty percent (60%) of the cumulative area of
all building walls, provided the applicant
demonstrates that the modification results in a better
integration of the building with the surrounding area
and will further the intent of this Section. Factoryfinished metal paneling materials shall be used
primarily on the rear wall and secondarily on the side
and/or front wall.
(2) Building elevations and facades should include a variety of
architectural features and building materials to provide visual
interest and give each project a distinctive character. Any
exterior building wall adjacent to or visible from a public
street, public open space or abutting property may not exceed
50 feet in length without significant visual relief consisting of
one or more of the following:
(A) The façade shall be divided architecturally by means
of significantly different materials or textures; or
(B) Horizontal offsets of at least four feet in depth; or
(C) Vertical offsets in the roofline of at least four feet, or
fenestration at the first floor level that is recessed
horizontally at least one foot into the façade.
(3) All building shall contain a concrete floor.
e. Prohibited materials. Prohibited materials include face materials that
rapidly deteriorate or become unsightly such as unfinished/nonpigmented structural concrete block, galvanized metal, sheet metal
(either corrugated or plain), unglazed structural clay tile or common or
back-up quality brick, or similar materials.
C. Testing. In order to assure compliance with the performance standards set forth above,
the city may require the owner or operator of any permitted use to have made those
investigations and tests as may be required to show adherence to the performance
standards. Investigation and tests as are required to be made shall be carried out by an
independent testing organization as may be agreed upon by all parties concerned, or if

Page 14

Page 38 of 74

there is failure to agree, by such independent testing organizations as may be selected
by the city after 30 days' notice. The costs incurred in having the investigations or tests
conducted shall be shared equally by the owner or operator and the city, unless the
investigation and tests disclose non-compliance with the performance standards, in
which event the entire investigation or testing cost shall be paid by the owner or
operator. The procedure above stated shall not preclude the city from making any tests
and investigations it finds appropriate, to determine compliance with these
performance standards. Testing conducted under SLPC 16.24.082 Paragraph G,
including testing of the stadium video display, stadium lighting and other campus
exterior lighting, and all associated testing costs, shall be governed exclusively by
SLPC 16.24.082 Paragraph G.

SECTION 5:
PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED DISPLAYS. Nothing in this
ordinance approves, legalizes or establishes a vested right for any stadium video display
installed before the effective date of this ordinance. Every such display must obtain all permits
and approvals required by law and demonstrate full compliance with the City Code, as
amended, before its dynamic or luminous portion may be placed into regular operation.
SECTION 6:
SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this ordinance is held
invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions that can be given effect without the
invalid provision, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable.
SECTION 7:
EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall be effective upon
its passage and publication according to law.

PUBLIC HEARING
A. Public Hearing: Ordinance No. 512, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 16 of the Spring
Lake Park City Code Relating to Secondary School Stadium Video Displays
Administrator Buchholtz presented the proposed ordinance establishing performance
standards for secondary school stadium video displays. He explained that the City's
existing dynamic sign regulations were primarily intended for signs oriented toward
motorists and were not well suited to a stadium video display intended for spectators.
The proposed ordinance would establish specific standards governing the location, size,
brightness, orientation, hours of operation and residential impacts of these displays.
Buchholtz reviewed the principal standards contained in the ordinance, including
limitations on the number and size of stadium video displays, minimum separation
from residential property, requirements that the rear and sides remain nonilluminated, daytime and nighttime brightness limits, automatic dimming controls,
limits on illumination at neighboring residential property, and restrictions on hours of
operation. He noted that the ordinance establishes maximum brightness levels rather
than guaranteed operating levels and allows the City to require additional testing or
reduced brightness if impacts on neighboring properties warrant further restrictions.
The Commission discussed whether the display should be permitted to operate during
private rental events and whether advertising and sponsorship messages could be
shown during authorized stadium events. Staff clarified that the ordinance would
permit event-related advertising and sponsorships, but would not allow the display to
operate as a general commercial billboard outside of authorized stadium activities.
Commissioners expressed support for allowing use of the display during private rental
events because those rentals provide revenue to the School District.
The Commission also discussed the permitting history of the existing display. Staff
explained that the School District had previously contacted the City regarding permit
requirements, but the necessary permits were not obtained before the display was
installed. Commissioners expressed concern that construction had occurred prior to
issuance of the required permits and emphasized that the School District should be
held to the same permitting standards as other property owners and businesses. Staff
stated that the School District would be required to obtain the necessary building and
sign permits, verify that the existing structure and foundations comply with applicable
requirements, and pay the City's standard doubled permit fees for work completed
without permits. Staff further explained that installation of the display before adoption
of the ordinance would not establish a legal nonconforming use or vested right.
Chair Hansen opened the public hearing at 7:35pm.
Ken Kirchner, 7955 Van Buren Street, expressed concern regarding the permitting and
enforcement process and accountability for construction occurring before permits

Page 42 of 74

OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS

PAGE 3

September 28, 2026

were obtained. Staff responded that the School District would be subject to the same
permitting and enforcement practices applicable to other property owners.
Halyn Roth, 7914 Able Street, stated that the display is visible and bright from his
property and asked whether operation of the display would create additional noise.
Staff stated that the display itself does not generate additional sound. Roth noted that
he understood that living adjacent to the high school would involve some level of light
and noise and expressed general support for the regulatory approach being
considered.
Bob Nelson, 7805 Jackson Street, requested that construction plans and specifications
for the display be available when the matter proceeds to the City Council so that
compliance with applicable structural requirements can be reviewed.
Chairperson Hansen closed the public hearing at 7:48 PM.
Motion made by Commissioner Julien, seconded by Commissioner Cobbs to
recommend approval of Ordinance No. 512, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 16 of the
Spring Lake Park City Code Relating to Secondary School Stadium Video Displays.
Motion was then made by Commissioner Julien, seconded by Commissioner Goldstein,
to amend the main motion by removing “private rentals” from the activities excluded
from the definition of an authorized stadium event. Voting Yea: Commissioner Cobbs,
Commissioner Julien, Commissioner Coyle, Commissioner Goldstein, Chairperson
Hansen. Motion to amend carried.
The Commission then considered the main motion as amended. Voting Yea:
Commissioner Cobbs, Commissioner Julien, Commissioner Coyle, Commissioner
Goldstein, Chairperson Hansen. The main motion, as amended, carried.
6.

OTHER

Administrator Buchholtz advised the Commission that a Planning Commission meeting will be
held in October. He stated that the primary agenda item is expected to be a public hearing
regarding proposed regulations for wireless communication towers following the City Council's
establishment of a moratorium.
Buchholtz also reminded Commissioners to complete the Comprehensive Plan leadership
survey. He reported that the resident Comprehensive Plan survey is being promoted through
the City newsletter, social media, utility bill communications and other outlets. Commissioners
were encouraged to promote participation in the survey. Staff confirmed that the deadline for
residents to complete the community survey is December 1, 2026.

Spring Lake Park High School Stadium Video Display – Conditional Sign
Permit Approval

Spring Lake Park Schools has submitted a sign permit application for the new video scoreboard
installed at the Spring Lake Park High School athletic complex, 1100 81st Avenue NE. The
application identifies Nevco as the contractor and describes the project as a new video scoreboard
for the athletic complex.
Ordinance No. 512 establishes standards for secondary school stadium video displays and requires
City Council approval of the permanent sign permit. The ordinance regulates the size and location
of the display, hours of operation, brightness, illumination, glare, testing and ongoing compliance.
Staff recommends conditional approval of the sign permit so the School District can complete the
remaining permit and compliance requirements without returning to the Council for another sign
permit approval. The School District will still need to obtain the required building permit and
provide any structural plans, wind-load calculations, electrical plans, foundation information or other
materials requested by the Building Official.
The ordinance generally requires a photometric plan prepared by a qualified lighting professional,
but allows the City Council to waive or reduce that requirement if sufficient information is available
to reasonably evaluate compliance. Any waiver would not relieve the School District from meeting
the ordinance’s illumination, glare and operating standards, and the City may still require field testing
if needed.
Before regular operation, the School District must also provide documentation confirming that the
approved brightness settings, ambient-light sensor, automatic dimming controls and related
safeguards have been properly programmed and are operational.
Conditional approval should therefore be subject to issuance of the required building permit,
completion of final staff review and issuance of the sign permit, and compliance with Ordinance
No. 512 and all other applicable City Code requirements. If the Council waives or reduces the
photometric plan requirement, the display would remain subject to the ordinance’s illumination and
glare standards and any testing or adjustments required.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763=784-6491.
