and businesses, and participation in neighborhood and youth programs. The Department is dispatched by Anoka
County and participates in an automatic aid system with three area fire departments and a statewide mutual aid
system. Fire personnel are on duty 24 hours per day and the staff consists of full-time and paid on-call firefighters.
The City has three fire stations, and operates a fire training facility under a joint powers agreement with two other
fire departments. Fridley Firefighters also provide staff to support the MN State Chemical Assessment Team for
the North Metro, the Anoka County Fire Protection Council Specialized Rescue Team and Fire Investigation Team
and the MN Type III Incident Management Team.
● The 2014 revised budget relects an increase in Supplies which includes the cost for uniforms and personal
protective clothing for seven firefighters hired in 2014. Reimbursement in the amount of $16,800 for protective
clothing from the Anoka County Fire Protection Council Fire Academy will be reflected in the 2014 revenue. The
increase in supplies also reflects the cost of mounting hardware for the computers in each vehicle for the PSDS
project and for work order transfer parts for repairing vehicles.
● The addition of a temporary full-time Captain will increase the FTEs from 6.6 in 2014 to 7.6 in 2014.
● The 2015 budget increase in Other Services and Charges is primarily the result of moving $140,700 for the
Fire Pension Contribution from Personnel where it resided in 2014 to Other Services and Charges in 2015.
● The addition of a full-time Fire Marshal will increase the FTEs from 7.6 in 2014 to 8.0 in 2015.

reviews plans and provides coordination of inspections.
● The increase in the Other Services and Charges category directly relates to the City's increased intensity and
types of projects coming in that will require commercial and industrial inspections. We have bolstered our
inspection capabilities by bringing on a combination Plumbing/Building Inspector to assist with inspections. This is
not a new contract position, it replaces the position that was held by Terry Overacker, Overacker Plumbing. The
conservative estimate of activities above will provide adequate funds to cover the added inspection contract
expense.

● Late Fee charges were collected and where the anticipated/Budget amount for 2014 was $500, rental staff
collected $2,000. The majority of the improvement came through eliminating exceptions.
● $12,000 in reinspection fees were collected, $8,400 of those fees were collected by July. We anticipate that
as rental property owners begin to understand that this is the new process, they will work to avoid a 3rd
reinspection and thus the fee. Our goal is to see this number come down in 2015, which will indicate that we have
raised the level of understanding of the importance of bringing rental properties into compliance without a 3rd
inspection.

Budget Comments/Issues:
The 2015 budget for the Capital Equipment Fund includes a substantial shift in LGA allocation. The goal of this fund
is eventually eliminate the need for additional equipment certificates. Recent Legislative enacted changes to the
LGA formula will provide a substantial boost in funding and move the city in the direction of realizing this goal.
● Substantial purchases approved in the 2015 CIP for the fund include: $175,000 for police fleet vehicles,
$550,000 for a fire engine replacement, 165,000 for a public works dump truck and plow, $135,000 for an aerial
truck, and $45,200 for emergency siren horn replacements.
The Capital Equipment Capital Projects Fund was created in 2012 for the purpose of funding replacement or repair
of major capital items that are expected to exceed $5,000 in cost. The primary sources of revenue for the fund are
Local Government Aid, capital equipment certificates, and tax levy proceeds. The fund also receives earnings from
the auction of surplus city property as well as investment earnings.

The Fridley Municipal Liquor Operations was established in 1949. The operations consist of two retail locations with
annual sales exceed $5 million. Net proceeds are directed back to the City's General Fund to alleviate the property
tax burden on its citizens and businesses.
● During the fall of 2014, the operations embarked on a re-branding of the liquor stores. This included a new
logo, uniforms as well as a new customer service standard.
● Increase in temporary salaries are a result of our commitment to provide superior customer service at both of
our store locations.
● Fridley market has seen a great revitalization since major construction was completed in 2014. The 2015
budget reflects an anticipated 10% increase in sales at our Cub store location.
● With the increase in competition from national liquor retailers, our gross profit reflects a 3% decrease in order to
stay competitive within our trade area.
