A Meet Your Reps city report · Official records first · Limited, ongoing coverage
Every name and role below comes from the official city record. This roster is meant to help residents see who is in office, what seat they hold, and when voters next get a say. Full profile pages are paused while the source-backed profile system is being rebuilt. All council seats are elected at large with no ward designations.
On the 2026 ballot
3 seats are scheduled for the 2026 ballot. Current term holders: Joe Kaliszewski, Tom Seaberg, and Matthew Thompson. Holding a seat does not confirm that an incumbent has filed as a candidate.
Attribution limit: Seats on ballot and current term holders are sourced from the South St. Paul official elections page and the Minnesota Secretary of State filing page. Candidate filing status confirmed via the city elections page as of June 23, 2026. Holding a seat does not confirm that an incumbent has filed as a candidate. Verify final ballot content with the city, county, or Secretary of State when sample ballots are posted.
Meeting agendas are available online from October 21, 2024 forward. Earlier records require contacting the City Clerk at [email protected] or 651-554-3204.
To verify: Current agendas and minutes are at southstpaulmn.gov/agendacenter.
StandardsOrdinance number 1444 appears on two different subjects
Two official city documents use the number 1444 for different ordinances. The May 18, 2026 council minutes record the council approving Ordinance 1444, updating zoning requirements in the R-2 single and two family district. The July 6, 2026 council agenda lists item 11B as a second reading of Ordinance 1444, amending lawful gambling. The June 15, 2026 minutes record the first reading of the lawful gambling ordinance without giving it a number. Meet Your Reps has not resolved which number is correct for the lawful gambling ordinance and does not assume either document is in error.
To verify: Confirm the ordinance number against the adopted July 6, 2026 minutes once posted at southstpaulmn.gov/926/Agendas-Minutes, or ask the City Clerk at [email protected] or 651-554-3204.

Offices on the ballot
City Council (3 at-large seats)
Three city council seats are on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. Those seats are currently held by Joe Kaliszewski, Tom Seaberg, and Matthew Thompson (terms expire January 1, 2027). Because seven candidates filed for three open seats, the South St. Paul elections page (June 23, 2026) says the candidates will appear on the August 11, 2026 primary ballot to narrow the field to six. The Minnesota Secretary of State filing page shows seven candidates as of June 6, 2026. Verify final ballot wording with the city, county, or Secretary of State when sample ballots are posted.
This confirms the city election timing listed by the official elections page. Candidate lists and ballot details should be checked with official election sources as they update.
Regular City Council meetings are held on the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers, 125 3rd Avenue N, South St. Paul, MN 55075. Work sessions are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Training Room at the same address. Work sessions are informational and collaborative; they are open to the public, but no official action is taken at work sessions. Meeting dates should be confirmed from the official agenda center before attending, as schedules can change for holidays or other reasons.
Meeting times, agendas, ballot details, and candidate lists can change. Verify important details with official city sources before taking action.

This is an agenda watch entry. The official July 6, 2026 City Council agenda lists the following items scheduled for council consideration. In general business: adoption of the 2026 Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan (Item 11A), a second reading of an ordinance amending lawful gambling, which the agenda numbers as Ordinance 1444 (Item 11B), approval of construction documents and a prequalified subcontractor list for the Northview Aquatic Center Project (Item 11C), and approval of construction documents and authorization to solicit competitive bids for the Public Works Central Maintenance Facility Project (Item 11D). On the consent agenda: authorizing condemnation proceedings in connection with the Hardman Triangle Public Realm System (Item 8K), acceptance of bids and award of a construction contract for the 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project, Project No. 2026-02 (Item 8J), authorization of a grant agreement with the Metropolitan Council for inflow and infiltration projects (Item 8I), termination of a preliminary development agreement with ZAS, LLC (Item 8F), and final payment for the Concord Exchange Corridor Improvement Project (Item 8H).

Outcome: Scheduled for council consideration on July 6, 2026. Source: official July 6, 2026 City Council agenda and packet (City of South St. Paul, CivicClerk). Official minutes were not yet posted as of the July 13, 2026 review, so no item should be treated as approved, adopted, awarded, or voted on until official minutes confirm it.
What the source confirms
Source ssp-cc-0706: Official South St. Paul City Council agenda and packet for July 6, 2026 (CivicClerk public portal, accessed 2026-07-07). Confirms that the listed items were scheduled for council consideration on July 6, 2026, and that the agenda numbers the lawful gambling ordinance second reading as Ordinance 1444. Source ssp-cc-0615: the June 15, 2026 minutes record the first reading of the lawful gambling ordinance, introduced without an ordinance number. Source ssp-cc-0518: the May 18, 2026 minutes record the council approving Ordinance 1444, updating zoning requirements in the R-2 single and two family district.
Source limit: Agenda and packet only. The agenda confirms the items were scheduled, not that they were approved, adopted, awarded, or voted on. Official minutes were not yet posted as of the July 13, 2026 review, so no vote count and no individual member vote is claimed for any of these items. A second reading is a step toward adoption, not proof of adoption. Authorizing condemnation proceedings is a step in a legal process and does not by itself confirm that any property was taken. Two official documents use the number 1444 for different ordinances, and Meet Your Reps has not resolved which number is correct for the lawful gambling ordinance. Each item should be checked against the official minutes once posted.
Why it may matter: Knowing what is scheduled lets residents follow city business before decisions are made. These July 6, 2026 items include an accessibility plan, two large city facility projects, a street concrete contract, sewer grant funding, and a condemnation authorization that can affect specific property owners. Residents can read the agenda, watch the meeting, or check the minutes when posted.

The minutes do not name the winning contractor, state the contract amount or the bids received, or give a construction schedule or detour plan. Those details are in the meeting packet and the project file, not in this summary.
Why it may matter: A street reconstruction contract award is the point at which a road project moves from planning to construction. South Street borders Inver Grove Heights, and the two cities approved a joint powers agreement for the work earlier in 2026. Residents and businesses along the route may want to check the schedule and any planned detours.

Business and Development
The official June 15, 2026 City Council minutes record that Council Member Bakken introduced an ordinance amending lawful gambling for its first reading, listed as item 11A in general business. The minutes record no vote on the item. Minnesota cities commonly act on an ordinance in two steps: a first reading introduces the proposed ordinance, and a later second reading adopts it. The official July 6, 2026 agenda lists a second reading of an ordinance amending lawful gambling, numbered on that agenda as Ordinance 1444, the same number the May 18, 2026 minutes record for the adopted R-2 zoning ordinance. As of the July 13, 2026 review, minutes for the July 6 meeting were not yet posted, so the ordinance is not confirmed as adopted and the conflicting ordinance number is not resolved.

Source ssp-cc-0518: the May 18, 2026 minutes record the council approving Ordinance 1444, updating zoning requirements in the R-2 single and two family district.
Source limit: The minutes confirm the ordinance was introduced for a first reading. They do not confirm adoption, and they record no vote on the item. The minutes do not state an ordinance number and do not include the ordinance text or what the amendment would change about lawful gambling. Two official documents use the number 1444 for different ordinances: the May 18, 2026 minutes record Ordinance 1444 as the adopted R-2 zoning ordinance, and the July 6, 2026 agenda lists Ordinance 1444 as the lawful gambling ordinance. Meet Your Reps has not resolved which number is correct and does not assume either document is in error. See the city's data quality note.
Why it may matter: Lawful gambling in Minnesota covers activities such as charitable pull-tabs and bingo, which cities regulate through local ordinance. Residents and organizations that run or host these activities may want to read the proposed amendment before the council takes a final vote. A first reading is the point at which the proposal becomes public and comment is still possible.

Outcome: Presented and discussed at the June 1, 2026 regular meeting (Item 11C). No motion or vote was recorded in the official minutes. Source: official June 1, 2026 City Council minutes (City of South St. Paul, CivicClerk).
What the source confirms
Source ssp-cc-0601: Official South St. Paul City Council documents for June 1, 2026 (agenda, packet, and minutes posted June 16, 2026, CivicClerk public portal, accessed 2026-06-28). The minutes list a Sanimax Odor Management Plan Update as General Business Item 11C with no motion and no recorded vote.
Source limit: This record confirms a presentation or discussion only. It does not confirm a council vote, a new requirement, an enforcement action, or any change to the odor management plan. The substance of the update would come from the meeting packet or video.
Why it may matter: Odor from industrial operations is a recurring concern for nearby residents. This record notes that the council received an update, while being clear that no formal action was recorded.

At its May 18, 2026 regular meeting, the South St. Paul City Council approved the second reading of Ordinance 1444, updating zoning requirements in the R-2 Single and Two Family Residence District (General Business Item 11C). The official minutes record that the motion to approve Ordinance 1444 was made by Council Member Kaliszewski, seconded by Council Member Hansen, and adopted by a vote of 6 ayes and 0 nays. Minnesota cities commonly act on an ordinance in two steps, a first reading and a later final reading. The minutes record the vote total only and do not list how each member voted by name.

The minutes confirm that the second reading of Ordinance 1444, Updating Zoning Requirements in the R-2 Single and Two Family Residence District, was approved on a motion by Council Member Kaliszewski, seconded by Council Member Hansen, 6 ayes to 0 nays.
Source limit: The minutes confirm the second reading adoption of Ordinance 1444. The first reading predates this reviewed source window and is not confirmed here unless another official source is added.

The minutes name who moved and seconded the motion, which is meeting procedure and does not by itself show how each member voted.
Why it may matter: Zoning requirements in a residence district shape what can be built or changed on residential property. This record confirms the council adopted the updated R-2 rules. The detailed changes are in the ordinance itself.

A related stormwater maintenance agreement for Riverside Holdings appeared on the same consent agenda but is not detailed in this record. The minutes name who moved and seconded the motion, which is meeting procedure and does not by itself show how each member voted.
Why it may matter: Site plan review is a step a city uses to decide how a property can be developed. This record shows a council decision that was not unanimous, which is part of the public record, while keeping each member's vote unstated because the minutes do not list it.

Source ssp-cc-0601: Official June 1, 2026 City Council minutes confirm the council adopted the second reading as Ordinance 1443.
Source limit: This source confirms the introduction or first reading only, not final adoption. A first reading is a process step and does not change the city code on its own. See the June 1, 2026 record for the second reading adoption of Ordinance 1443. The minutes name who introduced the ordinance, which is meeting procedure and does not show how each member would vote.
Why it may matter: Watching an ordinance move from first reading to adoption shows how local lawmaking works. This record marks the introduction step for the MMM-1 low impact production change, which the council later adopted.

Why it may matter: Road reconstruction that crosses a city boundary often requires a shared agreement. This record shows South St. Paul approving its side of a project with a neighboring city. The construction contract award for the project appears on a later agenda (see the June 15, 2026 agenda watch record).

Outcome: Two resolutions adopted at the February 17, 2026 regular city council meeting. Resolution 2026-029: Commitment to Equal and Just Treatment (10 resolving clauses). Resolution 2026-030: $15,000 grant from the city general fund to Neighbors, Inc. Community Food Shelf Operations (authorized under Minn. Stat. 465.039). Sources: official February 17, 2026 City Council minutes (City of South St. Paul, CivicClerk) and the signed resolution PDFs (southstpaulmn.gov).

What the source confirms
The official February 17, 2026 City Council minutes (City of South St. Paul, CivicClerk public portal, accessed 2026-06-28) confirm that Resolution 2026-029 (Federal Immigration Enforcement Activity Response, with amended language) and Resolution 2026-030 (a $15,000 donation to Neighbors, Inc.) were each approved 6 ayes to 0 nays as General Business Item 11D. Resolution 2026-029 itself (signed City Clerk PDF) sets out the city's commitment to equal and just treatment and the city's stated role in immigration enforcement across its 10 resolving clauses. The official city calendar confirms a Special City Council Worksession on the Impacts of Federal Immigration Enforcement was scheduled for February 12, 2026 at the Kaposia Education Center Auditorium at 5:30 PM. The official Resolution 2026-030 PDF (southstpaulmn.gov, City Clerk signed) confirms a $15,000 grant from the city general fund to Neighbors, Inc. Community Food Shelf Operations, authorized under Minn. Stat. 465.039. The official Resolution 2026-029 PDF confirms the full text of the equal treatment resolution, including 10 resolving clauses covering equal treatment, city role in immigration, public building access, data sharing, and community resources. The February 12, 2026 Special Worksession slides (official city PDF) confirm that staff presented three response options to the council: ordinances (not recommended by staff), economic support (Neighbors, Inc. food shelf donation recommended; emergency rent relief and small business grants not recommended due to infrastructure gaps), and a council resolution. No formal action was taken at the worksession.
Source limit: The official February 17, 2026 City Council minutes confirm both resolutions were approved 6 ayes to 0 nays (General Business Item 11D). The minutes record vote totals and the mover and seconder only; they do not list how each member voted by name. The signed resolution PDFs carry the adoption language and the full resolution text. The prior city news link for this item no longer resolves, so the official meeting minutes and signed resolutions are now the primary sources. Any analysis of local ordinance options referenced in news reporting has not been matched to an official source beyond the worksession slides.
Why it may matter: Operation Metro Surge affected residents, businesses, and families across the South St. Paul community in early 2026. The council's two resolutions addressed how the city commits to serving all residents and provided resources for food support through an established local nonprofit. These are the actions the official city record confirms.
