City Council Study Session

The St. Louis Park City Council meets Monday, Oct. 24, at 6:30 p.m. for a study session. On the agenda is the annual tax-increment financing (TIF) update and a pooled TIF policy discussion, which continues a housing and neighborhood-oriented development system discussion that kicked off at the Oct. 17 study session.

The Oct. 17 discussion provided an overview and framework of the planned discussions for the housing and neighborhood-oriented development system. Subsequent discussion topics in the system are tentatively scheduled for future study sessions as follows:

  • Nov. 7 – Managing change in residential neighborhoods
  • Nov. 14 – Inclusionary housing policy
  • Nov. 28 – Limiting number of single-family rentals per block

These topics and dates are subject to change. View the agenda and reports. Members of the public can attend the study session and meetings in person, watch by webstream at bit.ly/watchslpcouncil, or watch on local cable (Comcast SD channel 17/HD channel 859). Public input is not taken at study sessions. Recordings are available to watch on the city’s YouTube channel usually within 24 hours of the end of the council meeting or study session.

About the systems discussion pilot project
In 2022, the city council began piloting an effort to group study session topics (called “systems discussions”) according to the city’s five strategic priorities. The project started with community engagement, environmental stewardship and infrastructure discussions. Race equity and inclusion will conclude the cycle of systems discussions for 2022, with the first discussion set for Dec. 12.
