Cities team up for Electrify Everything MN The cities of St. Louis Park, Edina, Eden Prairie and Minneapolis have teamed up to launch the Electrify Everything MN awareness and education campaign. The goal of this campaign is to connect residents with the information and resources they need to reduce home energy use and make the switch to clean and renewable energy sources through electrification.

Visit www.electrifyeverythingmn.org to learn about heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction stoves and more. Look for their table at the Fire Department Open House and Community Health Resource Fair and more resident workshops coming this fall!

What to know about Idle-Free SLP Did you know that idling your vehicle can produce more tailpipe emissions per minute than driving and has been linked to asthma symptoms and heart and lung disease. That’s why the City of St. Louis Park, in collaboration with Park Nicollet, is promoting the “Idle-Free SLP” educational campaign. Help protect our air, and especially our vulnerable populations that are more susceptible to air pollution, by turning off your engine whenever it’s not necessary. Visit bit.ly/IdleFreeSLP for more information.

Climate Champions for Homes offers

higher incentives for residents The City of St. Louis Park’s energy efficient rebate program was retired on July 1 and replaced with the new Climate Champions for Homes program. With this change comes a few new program requirements, but also higher incentives for residents. To qualify, residents must receive or have received a Home Energy Squad “Planner” visit within the past 36 months and prior to completing any work eligible for cost sharing funds. Eligible projects include furnace and AC upgrades, attic or wall insulation, and electrification projects such as heat pumps. Contact Ellie Rabine, sustainability specialist, at erabine@stlouisparkmn.gov or 952.924.2131 to learn more.

Resources available for small businesses evolving loan fund R The revolving loan fund provides gap financing and commercial lending to local businesses to help them grow and expand in St. Louis Park. Both new and existing businesses may apply. Loans have fixed interest rate terms and range from $50,000 – $200,000. Contact Tim Walker, Central Minnesota Development Company, at 763.205.0323 for eligible costs and more information.

Transform your parking

lot into a green space

Are you a business owner with excess parking or struggling plants? Transform your parking area into a vibrant green space with a new cost share program from the City of St. Louis Park, called Depave SLP! With Depave SLP, property owners who remove pavement and fill in the space with native plants, trees, rain gardens, pollinator habitat or permeable pavers may be eligible for partial city reimbursement. A higher reimbursement is available to properties in Environmental Justice priority areas that have higher surface temperatures, flood risk, air pollution, hardscape and low existing tree cover. Visit bit.ly/depaveSLP for more information.

Leash laws and picking up after your dog Many people are out using trails and parks, along with their dogs. Remember that city ordinance requires owners to leash dogs whenever they are off their home property, unless they are in a designated off-leash dog area. Off-leash dog areas require a license to use. Visit bit.ly/SLPpetowner for more information about leash laws, dog licenses and off-leash dog areas. Parks and trails users who wish to report unleashed dogs can call the St. Louis Park Police Department non-emergency number at 952.924.2618.

Also remember to pick up after your dog! According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the safest way to dispose of pet waste is to bag it and place it in the garbage. Dog waste is not fertilizer, as it contains harmful bacteria, including E. coli. These bacteria pose health risks to you, your pet and the community. Also, rainwater carries pet waste into storm sewers, eventually polluting lakes and streams. Help keep local lakes and streams clean by picking up after your dog.

Recycle your grass clippings

Get trees and planting at a

Grass clippings are a part of lawn care, but you don’t have to throw them away.

They can be recycled by returning them to the lawn or composting them. Some of the benefits of recycling grass clippings are: • They can become a valuable source of nutrients

discounted rate

• Less fertilizer is needed to fertilize your lawn • Adding organic matter to your lawn helps improve your soil health •R ecycling grass clippings can also help reduce mowing and greatly reduces the need for yard waste collection. The University of Minnesota has a webpage, extension.umn.edu/lawncare/what-do-lawn-clippings, with great ideas on what to do with grass clippings.

Please note, always remember to clear grass clippings and leaves from the street when working in your yard.

With the City of St. Louis Park’s new full-service tree planting option, residents can order discounted trees through Tree Trust, a local nonprofit, and work directly with them to have the tree planted at a discounted service rate. Higher discounts are available for properties located in Environmental Justice priority areas and for homes that recently lost an ash tree due to emerald ash borer (EAB).

A similar program is also available for business owners, who can hire any licensed landscaping company to plant up to three trees on their property. They can then apply to the Shade SLP cost share program to be partially reimbursed.

Visit www.stlouisparkmn.gov/trees to learn more about both programs.

Pollinate the Park: native plant sale The 2023 native plant sale is underway! Help our pollinators by creating a native plant garden in your yard or add to your existing pollinator friendly landscape.

Flats of plants offered are specifically designed for St. Louis Park and for a variety of environments. Discounted flats are $45 for the first 150 resident orders. Extra flats are at the bulk discount rate of $89 each.

Plant pickup will be Aug. 19 from 8 – 11 a.m. and Aug. 21 from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center, 7305 Oxford St. Visit mnlcorp.com/product/slp to order your flat.

Fall tree sale starts Aug. 1 The city will be offering a fall version of the annual tree sale this year. Funded through a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture and in partnership with Tree Trust, St. Louis Park residents can purchase up to three trees at the discounted price of $35 each.

It’s not too late for emerald ash borer treatments Consider protecting your ash tree(s) from emerald ash borer (EAB) this summer.

Treatments on healthy ash trees are very effective and can be done until the end of September. City ordinance requires the removal of any untreated ash trees that are infested with EAB. Owners of private ash trees in St. Louis Park are eligible for a bulk rate discount to treat trees through Rainbow Treecare. For more information, visit www.rainbowtreecare.com/stlouispark or call 952.767.6920.

Tree pickup will be Sept. 30 from 8 a.m. – noon and Oct. 2 from 5 – 7 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center, 7305 Oxford St. Visit slp-tree-sale.myshopify.com to order trees.

Recreational fire permits required Permits are required for recreational fires (in-ground fire pits, portable fire pits, fire bowls, chimineas, etc.). Natural gas and propane fire pits and fireplaces don’t require a recreational fire permit. Visit www.stlouisparkmn.gov/firepermit to view or print the permit application and to find complete information and regulations.

Fires must be 25 feet away from any structure, and you may only burn clean, dry firewood. Do not have a fire if winds are more than 10 miles per hour or when still weather conditions prevent the smoke from moving away. Fires are prohibited when the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has declared a burning ban or the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air quality alert. Visit www.dnr.state.mn.us or www.pca.state.mn.us to learn more.

Aquatic Park last day of summer

Be considerate of your neighbors when having a fire Do your fires cause health issues for any of your neighbors? Listen to those who may suffer from your backyard fires. Let your neighbors know when you are planning to have a fire. Since fires release fine particles that contribute to air pollution, closing windows will not prevent wood smoke from affecting those with respiratory conditions.

Bring a non-perishable food donation for the STEP food shelf and pool entrance is just $4. Season pass holders who bring a food donation will receive a coupon for one free small fountain beverage choice at the concession stand. The concession stand will feature last day specials.

St. Louis Park community members encouraged to sign up for Smart911 The St. Louis Park Police Department is pleased to announce that Smart911 is now available in St. Louis Park. Smart 911 is a free, easy-to-set-up, app-based technology that allows users to provide critical information to first responders and dispatchers in case of an emergency.

Through Smart911, individuals create a Safety Profile for themselves and their household, providing as much or as little information as they would like. The information in the Safety Profile is automatically displayed to 911 dispatchers when an emergency call is made, allowing them to send the right response teams to the right location with the right information.

Safety Profile information can include linking both home and work addresses to mobile phones, medical information (including mental health), number of people and pets in the home, vehicle details, emergency contacts and more. All information is optional, and the individual can choose what details they want 911 and emergency responders to have in the event of a life-threatening situation. Smart911 is private and secure, is only used for emergency responses and is only made available to the 911 system in the event of an emergency call. Individuals signed up with Smart911 also will be better prepared for emergencies in the 40 states and 1,500 cities that support Smart911, since their profile travels with them.

Community members are encouraged to sign up for a Smart911 account today! Sign up for the program online at www.smart911.com or on the Smart911 mobile app (available in the Apple and Google Play stores).

For questions about the program, contact Lieutenant Mikael Garland at 952.924.2607 or mgarland@stlouisparkmn.gov.

New haulers for residential garbage, recycling, organics and yard waste beginning Oct. 1, 2023 Every five years, the city requests proposals for solid waste collection services for residences and small businesses who receive city service. The decision to change haulers was made after discussions with city council, surveying residents and requesting proposals from 14 hauling companies. Starting Oct. 1, 2023, the Buckingham Companies will be providing garbage and recycling services, and Republic Services will be providing organics service. Staff are conducting final negotiations with a yard waste hauler, who will also be named this summer, to begin service on Oct. 1.

Most of the city’s residential solid waste services will stay the same. Residents will receive additional information by mail in September.

Visit www.stlouisparkmn.gov/garbage-recycling for details about the Oct. 1 change in haulers and upcoming events.

They should be placed in your organics cart instead!

Unbagged is okay. If you don’t have organics collection, you can sign up anytime at no additional cost.

Visit www.stlouisparkmn.gov/organics to get started!

Week B

Holiday

The city will be flushing dead-end fire hydrants Sept. 26 – 30 and Oct. 3 – 7. Flushing hours will be from 7 a.m. – 5 p.m. As always, the estimated dates are based on the weather, current maintenance needs or emergencies that staff need to address.

This process will be mainly on dead-end streets or cul-de-sacs and is necessary to maintain water quality. Any one neighborhood or area won’t be affected for the entire week. Once a watermain is flushed, city crews will move to the next one.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to specify exact dates and times crews will be in specific neighborhoods, which is why the five-day window is published. Residents can check to see if watermains have been flushed in their neighborhood by visiting bit.ly/WMflushing to view a map. Crews flush the watermains by opening fire hydrants, so don’t be alarmed if you see water gushing from hydrants while a city truck is nearby.

While water has improved color and taste after watermain flushing, the process can temporarily discolor water due to loose iron particles. Iron naturally occurs in groundwater and isn’t harmful to your health. If you experience discolored water, take the following precautions. If you have questions, call public works at 952.924.2562.

Stop the FOG! Don’t dump fats, oils and grease (FOG) into your kitchen drain or elsewhere. After being poured down the drain, these liquids solidify over time. Eventually, they will cause a sewer backup in your home and/or the city sewer mains, requiring costly and time-consuming repairs. Instead, collect them in a heat-safe glass jar or in a can, then throw it in the garbage after it has solidified.

• T urn your water softener off or set it to “bypass” for the time period watermain flushing is scheduled.

• D uring this time period, don’t do laundry without first checking to see if your water is rust colored. Check water by running the tap. If it’s rust colored, don’t run your washing machine until you’ve cleared the water. To clear your water, run the cold water tap in your laundry tub until it runs clear, then do your laundry. If your laundry is stained by the water during this time period, keep the laundered items wet and call public works at 952.924.2562. We will deliver a chemical that will remove the stains.

• E ach morning during this time period, run the cold water tap to flush your household system of any discolored water sitting in the pipes. If tap water becomes discolored during the day, run the cold water tap until the water clears again.

A reminder about

Saturday, Sept. 9, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

To conserve water, St. Louis Park prohibits lawn sprinkling (watering) between noon and 6 p.m. Also, all households and businesses must follow an odd/even schedule when sprinkling lawns. Properties with addresses that end with an odd number sprinkle on the odd-numbered days on the calendar; properties with an address that ends with an even number sprinkle on even-numbered days.

Join us for the fifth annual St. Louis Park Art Fair! The St. Louis Park Art Fair brings our community together with local artists, musicians, businesses and more for this one-day fair. Celebrate community, shop local artist and maker booths, enjoy food trucks and a coffee bar, listen to local music, and view art demos and community art projects for the whole family. The St. Louis Park Art Fair is made possible by a partnership between Friends of the Arts and the City of St. Louis Park, as well as by the event founder and coordinator, St. Louis Park resident Alysha Boie. For more information on how to apply to be a participating artist, volunteering, sponsoring the art fair and more, visit www.slpfota.org/artfair.

Recreation Outdoor Center (ROC), 3700 Monterey Drive

sprinkling restrictions Additional conservation measures may be required during critical water shortages.

These can include limiting watering to once every five days or banning all outdoor watering. Should this situation arise, a public notice will be given.

Apply for an Arts & Culture Grant

Exceptions New sod or seed; newly planted shrubs, trees and landscaping; and flower gardens are exempt from the odd/even schedule. Watering is still prohibited between noon and 6 p.m. and should be done outside of those hours.

The program makes grant dollars available every year for music, visual arts, theater, film, multimedia, dance and other art projects. It provides funding for new arts programs that support community pride, connect artists and the community, and engage people in creative learning.

Here are some other ways to conserve water:

Artists, Official Zoning Maparts groups, students, community groups and neighborhood, cultural and religious organizations are encouraged to apply. Applicants do not need to live in St. Louis Park, but projects must take place within the city.

Prepared by the City of St. Louis Park Community Development Department

The zoning code update is a comprehensive review of the current zoning ordinance, which has not been substantially updated since 1992. The zoning code update will focus on the residential zoning districts and is the result of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which promotes expanding the diversity and affordability of housing options in St. Louis Park's neighborhoods.

Watch for opportunities to provide input this summer. Stay informed about the project and sign up for email updates by visiting bit.ly/zoning-code-update.

2022-2023
