Director Sommerland described the City’s process for annually certifying delinquent charges to property taxes. As of this evening, a total of 446 customer accounts remain delinquent, representing $252,846.70 in unpaid charges. Certification of these delinquent balances allows the City to recover costs by adding the unpaid amounts to property tax bills, which are then collected through the County’s property tax system. Seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Hoyt closed the public hearing at 7:37 pm. Motion was made by Councilmember Wilson and seconded by Councilmember Lien to adopt Resolution 2025-071 Certifying Delinquent Municipal Service Accounts to the Dakota County Treasurer-Auditor for Collection with 2026 Property Taxes.

NEW BUSINESS 12.1 Agreement with Spohn Ranch, Inc. for Design and Construction Services for the Skatepark Director Omlid presented the next step for the development of a skatepark in Farmington. The new skatepark will be constructed at Feely Fields in Rambling River Park. Staff conducted a comprehensive vetting process to make an informed recommendation based on vendor qualifications, experience, responsiveness, and observed construction quality. Staff recommends entering into an agreement with Spohn Ranch for design and construction services for the skatepark project. Motion was made by Councilmember Cordes and seconded by Councilmember Wilson to approve the agreement with Spohn Ranch, Inc. for design and construction services for the skatepark and amend the budget accordingly. Motion carried: 4 ayes / 0 nays 13. CITY COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Attorney Schmidt responded to some of the comments that were made during Citizen Comments. Cannon Falls is different than Farmington, and their zoning code is different than Farmington, and the land that is available in Cannon Falls is different than what is available in Farmington. It’s not an apt comparison because this is Farmington, and the Farmington City Code is what applies. Also, the MUCI (Mixed Use Commercial Industrial) zoning is intended to provide flexibility and doesn’t mean that every project has to be a mixed use that goes into that zoning district. It provides flexibility within the Code so that you can have a mixed use, commercial, or industrial project for a different development to go into that zoning district. On the City of Farmington zoning map, a much larger part of the city is zoned under the MUCI, not just this parcel. Attorney Schmidt hesitated to comment about things she has said in the past because as she stated, this isn’t about her. Mr. Ryan mentioned that she gave advice to the Council after only 18 minutes. If he believes she gave flippant advice, that wasn’t her intention. She didn’t need 18 minutes to look up the information she gave to the Council because on Saturday, she will be practicing law for 23 years and knew the information provided without looking Page 7 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of October 20, 2025 Page 4 of 7 it up. A moratorium for this project is not something that is allowed because it is already approved. If you were to adopt a moratorium, it could apply to other parts of the city where you could do studies and evaluate all the things that Mr. Ryan enumerated about – fire safety, water pressure, and all of those things. But it would apply to other projects. It wouldn’t apply to this project. She said she thinks Mr. Ryan is right that if the City were to adopt a moratorium, the City would certainly be sued over that. And she cannot give the City legal advice to actively do something that will get you sued , especially in a lawsuit that the City would lose. Tract would have the upper hand in a lawsuit like that because they already have an approval, and changing the zoning or adopting a moratorium for the very purpose of stopping their development is a losing lawsuit for the City. She cannot give the Council legal advice to take action to do that because that’s harmful to the City. And Mr. Schottler suggested that the City hasn’t even made the effort to give a ‘fake report’ to the residents to show that the City Council has tried to do something to satisfy the requests of the neighbors – she doesn’t know what good it would do for anyone if the City were to generate a ‘fake report.’ Any reports or information gathered by the City would be to provide factual information to the residents. And the fact that neighbors come and speak their peace, doesn’t change the fact that there is nothing in front of the Council right now that the Council can act on to change the approvals that have already been given for this project. As stated previously, we are still waiting for the judge to issue a decision on the motions that have been pending since the end of July. The judge’s deadline is the end of next week and, hopefully, we will hear something, and we can discuss it next time. Councilmember Lien wanted to comment on the statement that nothing was ever attempted and wanted to call out one inaccuracy or, as he sees it, when there was action in front of him on the day of the vote. That morning, he talked with Mr. Schottler about things he wanted, things he wanted to negotiate for, and three big ones on that list were the setbacks, the buffers, and the lighting. Councilmember Lien called Tract that day and if you look at the revised copy of the changes that were there that night, you will see a doubling of the buffer from 40 to 80 feet and an added requirement of zero footcandles at the property boundary. While he knows to this crowd, we didn’t do enough or more could be done, the statement that we did nothing is not accurate. Councilmember Cordes reminded everyone about the levy election coming up in a few weeks and encouraged residents to be an informed voter. There is plenty of information on the School District website regarding the referendum, on their social media channels, and on their YouTube page. Regardless of the outcome, It’s important to note that this is not done to send a message to St. Paul or to DC. This is all about local control and us, locally, deciding what we want the future of our district to look like – additional budget adjustments or Page 8 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of October 20, 2025 Page 5 of 7 increased investments, that’s up to us to decide. He encouraged everyone to educate themselves and get out and vote on or before November 4th. Councilmember Wilson said he was motivated by the courage of two individuals who spoke earlier and their stories. His work is seasonal, to a degree. Extremely busy right now and then other times of the year not so busy. Last year, he decided to be a substitute teacher, which brought tears to his eyes because it’s one of those vocations he always wanted but had chosen a different career. He has had the opportunity multiple times to be in our special education classrooms at a number of our elementary schools. Offering only as an opinion for anyone who is adamantly a ‘no’ voter on the referendum, the health of a community is very much in line with the quality of our schools. It’s been proven over and over again. When we talk about the quality of our community, it’s a direct reflection of the quality of our School District – they’re hand in hand. He went into these classrooms, and he’s seen these teachers and these educators who are trying to work with students who have a lot of special needs. To a certain degree, it all seems completely overwhelming until you get to know the students and the teachers. And that’s what we’re funding. We are funding our neighbors, we are funding our friends, we are funding other people that make our community stronger and make our community better. Having been in the classroom and having seen the benefit that those students get from teachers, from educators that are right here in our community, and the benefit they would get from the referendum passing, it’s a win-win for all of us. Assistant City Manager/HR Director Chanski said this is a busy time of year in Human Resources (HR). Open enrollment starts next week, personnel budgets are being finalized for 2026, and we are eyes deep in the BS&A software transition, which goes live in 42 days. Director Kuennen said, at tonight’s EDA Meeting, we continued this tradition we are building, where we invite partners in to discuss how we can work together and, tonight’s discussion was with the University of Minnesota Extensions to talk about how we can support and grow the entrepreneurial ecosystem that exists within this community. She thought it was a fantastic discussion and thanked the EDA for your active participation in that. She’s excited to see where this will go. Director Powell said there was some activity on Flagstaff Avenue last week during MEA. In addition to hydrant flushing, which was completed, we also had some manholes which were protruded from the pavement significantly. We explored many options for adjusting those, essentially mechanically, but the way they were constructed, they left no room for adjustment. So, we worked with Northwest Asphalt to mill and overlay about a dozen manholes on Flagstaff Page 9 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of October 20, 2025 Page 6 of 7 Avenue. They turned out really well, smoothed out the bumps, and provided a nice clean finished product. It wasn’t a complete mill and overlay, but we did quite a bit of work around the manholes to make it safe for plow drivers, as well as a smoother drive for the users of the roadway. Director Omlid said Halloween Walk is this Friday from 5:30 – 7 pm outside behind Dodge Middle School. She thanked the 26 businesses and organizations participating – it doesn’t happen without them. Also, Halloween Havoc Tour is going on with 33 houses on the tour. The map is on the City’s website and social media. And tomorrow is Open Door Food Pop-up Pantry at the Rambling River Center from 3 – 4:30 pm. Director Sommerland wanted to notify everyone that Invoice Cloud, the City’s online payment system used for utility billing, is currently down for maintenance. It has to do with the certification of the delinquents accounts. We need to bring it down for a little bit so that we could cut that off on the deadline, which was October 16th. It will be up and running again at 8 am on Wednesday. If anyone has questions, they can reach out to the Utility Billing Team at the City. Fire Chief Price said November 8th is our 74th Annual Turkey Bingo. It’s a great event for families, kids, and everyone. Come down and win a turkey – we do have some cash prizes when we do some bingos. He highly suggested everyone come down a little bit early. Doors open at 4:30 pm and it gets pretty crowded right away. If there are no seats available, come back down at 8 pm when some seats may come available. November 8th at Fire Station #1. Police Chief Siem said November 1st is the kick-off for Toys for Town 2025. Anyone interested in applying to the program, look to our website for guidance on how to do that. If you are a site to receive gifts for donations, those bags are expected to arrive the week before, likely Thursday the 30th, and we will be delivering those. 14.

CITY COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Attorney Schmidt offered her condolences to the Police Department and the Police Department family, to all Farmington Staff and City Council. Most importantly, I offer my condolences to Officer Pete’s wife and children, all of the people who know him and love him. He made a big difference and touched a lot of lives in very important ways. My heart hurts for everybody who will feel his loss for some time to come. Councilmember Lien said what he saw on Saturday night and over the course of the last few days, it shows what he meant to those of you who knew him well. The impact was tremendous. When the Burnsville incident happened a few years ago, I didn’t know what to say then, either. Like all times in my life when I feel lost, I go and find my Paster and ask, “What do you say in situations like this? Because, clearly, he has talked in this kind of discomfort more than me to groups of people and tried to comfort groups. And I said, “Well, how do you help a whole group of people?” And he said, “Sometimes you don’t. Some days are just dark, and you let it be dark.” And that stuck with me and that’s why I seem to have repeated it then and I repeat it now. To those of you who Page 14 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of November 3, 2025 Page 3 of 6 knew him well, it’s okay to let the dark days be dark. There is no amount of time to move out of the dark day. And his legacy and impact continues through all of you who did know him well, and when the time comes for that next step, you are uniquely positioned to show people like me who didn’t know him well, what he brought into the world. I’ve heard a lot of those stories in the last few days now. Those of you who are like me and want to show that you do care and are sitting on the sideline like me, I am an introvert. I can’t say I’m the best at hugs or finding the right words or not making awkward or uncomfortable jokes in situations like this, but two things I know. First, when someone shows up to a vigil or a wake or a funeral, regardless of what they say, they don’t do it with bad intent. They do it because they care. And showing each other grace in these situations that, if someone makes a faux pas or says something stupid, they had the right intent. The second one is similar. I like this quote, “Empathy doesn’t have to look like what others do. People can feel your care, even if you express it quietly or subtly or just by listening, as long as it’s genuine.” So, I will do my best to be genuine through all of this. Councilmember Bernatz said tonight’s roundtable is going to go in two very different directions so that I can speak first about the levy vote for tomorrow. From the position that I’m in, it’s not appropriate nor is it my job to tell anyone how to vote. What I want people to consider is that when they’re voting on a local school levy, it is worth pausing for a second to realize who is actually impacted by the choice that you make. If your choice to vote no is because the District has shown that it mishandles funds or you sincerely think that less funding is the right direction for future generations, it is your right and it is a reasonable reason to vote no. However, for residents voting no because you’re frustrated by City Council or because County taxes are too high, I would encourage you that this levy vote affects the School District, not those entities. They are separate. Voting no because you’re not happy with the State Legislature assumes that one district’s vote will shift statewide policy. And in reality, it’s unlikely to do that at two. Voting no because your collective tax impact is higher than you’d prefer directly affects students, as funding for programs, staff, and services depends on local support. City leaders are held accountable at City elections. County leaders are held accountable at County elections. And State Legislatures are held accountable at State elections. What you don’t do, in my opinion, is punish one entity because you’re displeased with another. On any given year in Minnesota, 40 – 60% of levies will either pass or fail. And it’s my experience that the Legislature typically responds only when there’s a broad coordinated advocacy at a State level, not a single district’s result. At it’s heart, this is a vote about Farmington’s kids. To support your children is to support our children, whether that means voting yes or voting no is up to you and your conscience. But if you are displeased, or upset, or angry at a different level of elected official, I really want you to pause for a second and make sure you understand how your choice affects them, our kids, Page 15 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of November 3, 2025 Page 4 of 6 and how that’s separating your frustrations between the two, three, or four different levels that exist. This is a vote for our kids, not a vote against City Council, County, or State. All of those things happen at different points. That’s just my encouragement as you’re making decisions coming into tomorrow. I knew Pete probably a little bit better than some and definitely not as well as others. I was asked at the vigil if I had any great Pete dirty jokes, but I didn’t know Pete that well and didn’t get his dirty jokes. I got a little bit of BS’ing around anytime I’d walk into the schools, and when I heard the news of his passing, the first thing that popped into my head, for some reason, is his eyes. He had such kind eyes. And I have learned in the week that has passed that his kindness didn’t start or stop with his eyes. It was in every interaction that he had at every level with any person that crossed his path. And, so, I am desperately sad for his family, for his friends, for the people that were much closer to him than I was, because I can understand that if my loss feels this strong, theirs is even stronger. So, my condolences are extended to all of the people that knew Pete so much better than I did, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sorry for all of our loss. Like his colleagues, Councilmember Cordes said he wants to talk about Pete Zajac tonight. In the Jewish mourning tradition, there is a saying, “May his or her memory be a blessing,” and it’s a reminder that those who are gone will always live on in our memories. But it’s also a call to action. To strive to live in a way to honor those who have passed. Last week, Farmington High School aired a memorial segment on their Tiger News broadcast. It was a clip of an interview with Officer Zajac giving advice to students. In it (and I’m paraphrasing) he said, “Be good to people. Learn as much as you can, be open to change, listen, have an open mind, and just be good to people.” And I think the best way we can honor Officer Zajac’s memory is just to live these out in our daily lives. To anyone in public safety, anyone listening at home, please ask for help if you need it. It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help, but a sign of strength. To Pete, I’m going to miss seeing you at the coffee shop, seeing you at Farmington football games, talking about our kids, and reminding you that you were the only Police Officer to stop me for speeding and give me a ticket. To Pete’s family, his friends, his brothers and sisters wearing the badge, students he worked with, the staff he worked with, and anyone who had the privilege of knowing him, I hope his memory may be a blessing to you. Councilmember Wilson said, in the years that I have had the privilege of serving the City, I don’t think I can ever think of a time period where we’ve needed the community more than we do right now. And the community as a whole is hurting from three tragedies over the past two weeks. The vigil on Saturday was important for the community. There was a group of about three or four high students, and one of our speakers kind of alluded a little bit to the closeness of some of the high school students and middle school kids. They were crying and Page 16 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of November 3, 2025 Page 5 of 6 I asked, “Tell me about your memory of Pete. Because, to be honest with you, I have a general sense of what our SRO does, but I don’t really have a flavor of what their day-to-day looks like.” I was talking with these students and one of them said, “I just talked to Pete Tuesday morning and he helped me with something I was going through and he shared a laugh with me. He was a guy that gave me a fist bump every day I walked into school.” This is such a repeated type of comment but, oftentimes, you learn the most about someone through others. I learned a lot about Pete during that candlelight vigil. Talking with Kim from FES and talking with others, but those four girls really stood out to me because they really shared what it was like to have Pete right there when they walked into school. He was kind of the rock, “There’s Pete!” – he was there for a laugh, there for a goofy look. And that’s a memory I will take with me. I just ask anyone listening to pray for our community. We’re hurting. As Jake said, it’s absolutely okay to say you’re not okay. I know it gets repeated. It’s okay to ask for a hug. Weakness is definitely a strength. We will persevere but, right now, we’ve got a big hole in our heart. So, I am praying for his family, our Police family, our neighboring jurisdictions who, without thinking twice, came to serve us and help us. We love all you guys and just pray for all of us. City Administrator Gorski said I don’t have the right words tonight, but Pete touched so many lives, and it’s just amazing to hear all the great things that he did. The high school. The City. It wasn’t just the School District he worked with. He came down to City Hall all the time. Everybody knew him down here – he popped in all the time, joked around, got to learn about his family. I think we’re just all in shock still. Like I said, I don’t have the right words but, with that, I just want to let people know that City Hall will be closed in honor of Pete and to allow Staff to attend the services. So, City Hall will be closed on Thursday , November 6th, starting at Noon. His visitation will be November 6th from 3 – 8 pm at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Hastings, and the funeral service will be on Friday, November 7th, at 10 am. City Hall will be closed on Friday, as well. It will be live streamed for people to view online. Mayor Hoyt said he had intended to try and keep it light. Just personally, as a suicide loss survivor, this hits especially close to home and, taking nothing away from the other loss in our community over the last couple weeks, this one hits extremely close. The relationship we have with our First Responders, specifically our Police Department, personal relationship with Pete, the work that we’ve done, specifically through the school, Toys for Town, the occasional cigars in passing and the mostly inappropriate jokes when we see each other. I was 19 when I lost my Dad. And one of the first things I thought about when I was notified of Pete’s passing was the kids. His kids and our kids in the District, and how it took me the better part of a decade to put myself back together, and I was 19. I can’t even imagine what all of our kiddos and, specifically, Pete and Laura’s are going to go through in the weeks and months and years to come. Page 17 of 40 Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of November 3, 2025 Page 6 of 6 Yes, our hearts will be with them. Yes, we will be there. Yes, we will do all of the things necessary. But I would be remiss if I also didn’t say that it takes a loss for us to collectively grasp the impact of not only the job that our First Responders do and the weight that they carry every single day, but also the importance of mental health, mental health awareness, suicide awareness, across society. And in all of the opportunities I have had to speak with groups over the last two and a half decades, from kids as young as ten, to teenagers, to high schoolers, to young adults, to all ages. I’m completely miffed at how we continue to have a reluctance to have the real conversations, and we do have to normalize mental health. We do have to have the hard conversations. We have to have them openly. We have to have them in public as necessary, and we have to have them without reservation. Because I’m always going to get one of two phone calls. I’m either going to get the phone call that you’re struggling, or I’m going to get the phone call that happens after the fact. I’m always going to get a phone call. And I will always choose the first one in every scenario. And I beg of you, everyone, to what degree you’re struggling, whether you have a big circle or you have a small circle, whether you’re working with someone professionally or not, we all go through stuff. And the stuff gets heavy, and it gets deep, and it gets dark. And those in proximity to those that are dealing with struggles, sometimes it’s not the words, sometimes it’s not waiting for the phone call, sometimes you just have to go to that person. When something is off, as insignificant as it may seem at the time, just go. Be a disruptor. When there’s silence, when you haven’t talked to someone, something doesn’t seem right, just go. Because the alternative is not what anybody wants. And I can’t say that loud enough and I can’t say that often enough. Please help anyone and everyone you can. When you see them struggling in their times of need, please just go. Please. 14.
