Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
30. Resolution - 94-892 - Setting forth program steps for the "Rental Tax Equity; St. Paul
Pilot Project".
Councilmember Megard expressed concerns over the Tax Equity Program Guidelines,
particularly the definition of "owner", the criteria for inspection, and the fact that the
plan only targets one neighborhood in wards 3 and 4 but targets two neighborhoods in
each of the other wards. She requested that the surveys be made mandatory and urged
the Council to approve the program with the exception of the guidelines. She requested
the guidelines be laid over one week for revision.
Councilmember Rettman emphasized the tight timeline to which the program is subject.
She indicated that holding the item for a week would leave little time to adequately
prepare for its implementation. She agreed that some of the guidelines are still in draft
form and subject to revision. With regard to the target neighborhoods, Councilmember
Rettman stated that the program targets those areas that have the highest rate of rental
property decline. She also indicated that the ownership guidelines set by the legislation
identify single-family and duplex units as eligible for the program. Councilmember
Rettman indicated that inspections are governed by chapter 189 of the Legislative Code.
All independent contractors must meet these standards and are required to complete
training regarding rental taac equity.
Councilmember Guerin indicated his support of a survey requirement and requested that
the Council move the project forward.
Councilmember Harris expressed concern regarding the selection of specific target areas,
particularly if the selection is left to the discretion of Councilmembers. He stated that
funding should be available only to St. Paul resident landlords.

City Council Summary Minutes June 22, 1994
Councilmember Rettman explained that certi�cation will not be offered to those other
than St. Paul resident landlords until September 6. She indicated that all of the funds
could be distributed to St. Paul resident landlords prior to that date.
Chuck Armstrong of the Mayor's Office indicated that the Housing Division of the
Department of Planning and Economic Development (PED) is willing to assist
Councilmembers in selecting target areas within their ward. In response to a question
from Councilmember Harris, Mr. Armstrong indicated that it is a general perception that
a higher concentration of rental properties can be found in wards 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7.
In response to a question from Councilmember Thune, Ken Ford of PED indicated that
data is available regarding the location of rental housing; however, he has not been
involved in the development of the criteria for the guidelines.
Councilmember Rettman said that she believed that real data was used in the selection
of target areas when the program was developed by State Legislator Andy Dawkins.
Mr. Armstrong indicated that the administration is willing to add an additional target
zone to wards 3 and 4. He proposed that the survey be mandatory with the cost covered
by the Housing Information Office, and he encouraged the Council to move ahead with
the program if these compromises were sufficient.
Councilmember Megard indicated that she will vote in favor of the program with
stipulations that the survey be mandatory, that all of the Councilmembers consult with
PED when selecting target areas, that all of the wards have the same number of target
areas, and that complete data is compiled after inspections.
Councilmember Rettman indicated her consent to the stipulations and moved approval
of the resolution.

She indicated that the substitute resolution has the requisite number of signatures and
moved to introduce the substitute resolution.
Roll Call Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Megard indicated that the changes to the resolution require the energy

residents. Councilmember Megard moved approval of the substitute resolution.

ORDINANCES
38. Final Adoption - 94-745 - An ordinance amending Section 409.21 of the Legislative Code
allowing charitable organizations to conduct gambling by the sale of paddlewheel tickets
in certain licensed establishments.
Councilmember Rettman moved approval of the resolution as amended at the June 15

Adopted as amended Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
39. Final Adoption - 94-746 - An ordinance amending Chapters 6.03.3 and 12 of the Saint
Paul City Charter by requiring City employees to take a leave of absence if elected to
City office, to deem certain matters as conflicts of interest for Councilmembers on leave
from City employment, and to submit the amendments to the City voters for approval.
Councilmember Megard indicated that the ordinance will not affect any of the cunent
Councilmembers as the effective date is January, 1996. She further indicated that the
requirements outlined in the ordinance are the norm required at the State and County
levels, and in cities such as Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, Bloomington, and Shoreview.
After outlining the major points of the ordinance, Councilmember Megard indicated that
this policy will prevent self interest from entering into City policy making.
Councilmember Megard explained that an affirmative vote would send. this matter to the
Charter Commission for review and then to the voters in September.
Councilmember Guerin indicated that the Charter Commission can review this issue at
any time without action on the part of the Council. He stated that the restrictions in the
ordinance seem to punish people for running for public of�ce, and he indicated that he
will vote against the ordinance.
Councilmember Blakey stressed the need to make a distinction between management
and labor. He emphasized that people from all walks of life should take part in
government, but being on both the management side and the labor side is not
appropriate. Councilmember Blakey stressed that a leave of absence should be required
for City employees, but he is willing to compromise on the other issues.
Councilmember Harris indicated that other governmental bodies require a leave of
absence. He expressed his belief that this policy will promote efficiency and integrity
and is a component of good government. He indicated a willingness to compromise on
some of the guidelines set forth in the ordinance.
Councilmember Thune indicated that he felt this discussion is premature, and he
7
City Council Summary Minutes June 22, 1994
expressed a desire to take it up again in a year.
Councilmember Grimm stated that more study is needed before this ordinance can be
passed.
Councilmember Rettman indicated that she has never voted in a manner that would
result in personal gain and feels that public employees should be given the same
opportunity to serve in elected office as everyone else.
Councilmember Megard indicated that under the ordinance, City employees would have
the opportunity to serve in elected positions. She indicated that the changes to policy
outlined in the ordinance directly relate to conflict of interest issues. Councilmember
Megard moved approval of the ordinance.
Councilmember Harris stated that this ordinance is not meant to question the integrity of
individual Councilmembers, but it brings the City up to the same standards that are
applied to other governmental bodies. He indicated that the ordinance is not perfect,
but it does not exclude individuals from serving in an elected capacity.

79. Hearing to consider the petition of the Travelers Insurance Company for the vacation of
a 0.5 foot encroachment of the Town Square Building into Minnesota Street between 7th
Street and 8th Street. (File #7-1994)
Carolyn McCann, attorney representing the Travelers Insurance Company, indicated that
paragraph four (4) of the resolution requires the petitioner to enter into an agreement
with the Downtown Community Development Council (DCDC) which mandates certain
improvements with regard to planters, greenery and street level display windows. Ms.
McCann urged the Council to approve the vacation with the deletion of paragraph four
(4) from this resolution and the resolution regarding agenda item 80. Ms. McCann
indicated that the property owner is trying clarify title issues and would not like this part
of the agreement recorded on the permanent real estate record as it could be an
impediment to marketing the property.
David Bradshaw of the DCDC indicated that the DCDC supports the petition of
Travelers Insurance but wants the resolution to include the requirements regarding the
beautification of the street level.
