Budget Comments/Issues:
● Along with a newer workforce, training and staff development initiatives are being planned for 2014.
● Healthcare Reform will significantly change the landscape of benefits and Human Resources administration,
not only from a administration and financial perspective, but in supporting staff and providing communication. It is
expected to cost an additional 3-5% in taxes with additional excise taxes and uncertainty to continue into 2014.
● Due to aging workforce and baby boomers starting to retire, we will see an increase in retirements and
staffing efforts. In addition, changes in the PERA's Police and Fire Pension Fund will likely result in 4-5 additional
staffers to retire in 2014.
Establishes and maintains the personnel policies for the city. Address all human resource matters including
recruitment, employee benefits, personnel guidelines, labor negotiations, and OSHA conformance.

Budget Comments/Issues:
Administers elections and works to minimize any delays experienced by voters. They serve as an important
impartial authority for encouraging voter registration, for recruiting and assigning election judges, assisting in
the accuracy of the voting equipment, county of ballots and certification of elections results and petitions.
● The Elections division reorganized is now under the City Management department.
● An increase in the budget is due to the new election equipment/maintenance agreement with Anoka
County and the hiring of a temporary employee to help with absentee voting during the two election cycles.
While 2014 is a non-presidential election and the voter turnout is usually lower, the City still has to staff the
precincts with the same number of election judges. In addition, due to legislative changes to absentee ballots,
we may have more individuals completing in-person absentee voting as they no longer need an excuse to use
an absentee ballot.

Budget Comments/Issues:
● The 2014 budget for the Accounting Division generally supports current level services, with the exception of
anticipated increased participation in on online utility billing by water/sewer customers and the continued multi-
year installation plan of automatic meter reading water meters (AMR's). Savings/costs of the utility billing change
and AMR's will be realized in the Utility Fund. The Accounting Division is also anticipated to go live with a new
financial system during the year.
● The Finance Department reorganized in the fall of 2013, with parts of the reorganization taking place in 2013
and the remainder slated for the beginning of 2014. the Accounting Division personnel was decreased by one
half-time FTE. Changes in processes and other efficiencies have allowed for a reduction in staffing needs. Other
changes for the department include the addition of a half-time FTE in the Assessing Division to account for an
increased petition case load along with the reduction of one FTE within the City Clerk/Records division.
Responsible for the supervision, administration, and planning of the City's financial activities. These activities
include: financial reporting, utility billing & collections, revenue collections, investments, debt management, risk
management, grant management, budget preparation, and municipal off-sale liquor operations. The Finance
Director/Treasurer and other staff members provide financial information to the City Council, the City Manager
and all departments. Also provide financial services to the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment in the
maintenance of tax increment data records.

Budget Comments/Issues:
● Additional education and designation requirements mandated by the State will increase our education expense
in 2014 by approximately $600.
● Dues and license fees will also increase by $400 with the additional staff member.
● The City continues to have a substantial number of tax court petitions which may impact costs for “Other
Services & Charges” if settlements cannot be reached and appraisals need to be completed.
Implements the State of Minnesota's property tax statues as they apply to the City of Fridley. Classifies all taxable
property and determines the apprised value of all real property within the City.
● The 2014 budget for the Assessing Division provides for current level of services, but does address the need for
additional staff to address the continual high number of tax petitions. An additional half-time FTE will be
dedicated to residential appraising, allowing the current residential appraiser to assist the City Assessor with
commercial tax petitions. With the addition of a half-time FTE, the need for seasonal appraiser is eliminated.

Provides information system support, networking support and application development for all city departments.
Also coordinates the city's use of information technology through long-range planning and policy development and
facilitates communication between the city and its citizens through development of the city's website.
● Other Services and Charges are increasing in the 2014 budget for the MIS Division due to a change in
managed print services. Print services will be accounted for within the MIS division rather than being allocated to
other departments in order to better manage service contracts and achieve city-wide cost savings. The MIS
budget increased, but other departments will see decreases in managed print services. In addition, approximately
$4,000 is being dedicated to city-wide application/software training.
● Tracking all service requests leads to larger number of cases for 2013 and beyond. Previously, only requests
requiring ~4 hours or more to close were tracked. This change also leads to a reduction in the amount of time
requests remain open and the percentage of requests that are closed within one business day.
● The proliferation of mobile devices in 2013 and 2014 raises number of devices supported.
● Change to project planning & funding process in 2013 enables more projects to be undertaken going forward.

Budget Comments/Issues:
● Fuels and Lubes decreased by $12,686 due to decrease in fuel cost estimate from $3.389/gallon to
$3.00/gallon.
The mission of the Police Department is to promote a safe and desirable city by partnering with the community to
preserve life, protect property, and defend rights. We will strive to enhance public trust through quality leadership,
education & respect for all while enforcing the laws with impartiality. We will provide all service with integrity and
the highest degree of professional behavior.
Our police division consists of 38 sworn officers, 6 full-time civilian employees, 3-32-hour civilian employees and
7 part-time civilian employees. The Police Division is responsible for the enforcement of criminal laws and
investigation of criminal offenses, proactive operations to apprehend criminals, traffic law enforcement, traffic
accident investigation, preventive patrol, crime prevention, response to medical emergencies, school liaison and
youth outreach.
Two open positions are on hold due to hiring freeze. One position recovered in
2012 to reinstate the second SRO position. The DEA Task Force replacement
officer, previously funded from the Police Activity Fund was moved to GF in 2012.
● Communications increased by $7,500 to provide mobile data connection for squad-based computer equipment
to access the Criminal Justice Data Network. Service was previously provided by LOGIS at no charge. A policy
change at LOGIS requires the Police Department to obtain mobile data connectivity through a different provider.
● Conferences and Schools increased by $9,750 due to restored funding for training needs that were deferred
during the recent recession.

● Maintenance issues and resulting costs of repair for the City's 25-year old outdoor warning sirens have been
increasing over the last several years. $60,000 has been budget for the replacement of the controller
components of all eight sirens. Staff is also determining the cost benefit of potentially replacing all eight siren
heads. If it is deemed feasible to replace the entire siren, additional funds would need to be either budgeted in
2015 or reappropriated through Council approval in 2014.

releases of hazardous materials. The Department also conducts fire code compliance and residential rental
property inspections. Its community support programs include: annual fire prevention training for elementary
school students, fire education training for groups and businesses, and participation in neighborhood and youth
programs. The Department is dispatched by Anoka County and participates in mutual aid pacts with over 30 other

position and the months absent an Assistant Fire Chief position.
● The 2014 budget includes an increase in Other Services & Charges for conferences & schools for additional
training including Incident Command.

Budget Comments/Issues:
Building Inspections enforces the Building Code within the City in order to prevent health and safety hazards. The
Building Inspection staff provides City Code information to homeowners, builders, and businesses and also
reviews plans and provides coordination of inspections.
● In 2014 one of the key focuses of the building staff beyond their required plan reviews, inspections, permit
processing, etc., will be the scanning of the building address files to assure that the items are consistently stored
with all other electronic data for the City. This will increase the efficiency of the building division's process as well
as making the building file data more easily assessable to both the internal and external customers
● Building activity wise, the Building Division staff is looking forward to a very busy 2014. Measuring the
potential for new construction, by that which is being reviewed in the planning stages during 2013, all indications
point to a very solid 2014 building season.

Budget Comments/Issues:
Rental Inspection provides for the systematic inspection and licensing of rental units in order to protect the health,
safety, and welfare of the Community and to preserve the Fridley's valuable housing stock.
● Beginning in January of 2014, Rental Inspections is being reorganized and control is being shifted to the
Community Development Department. Community Development already inspects the exterior of building for code
violations. Coordinating interior and exterior inspections increases efficiency and enhances customer service.
● The budget impact of this reorganization is budget neutral. Rental Inspections will have two 32-hour per
week inspectors responsible for inspecting the City's rental stock. The expenditure related to the additional
inspector will be covered from the savings from not having a dedicated Administrative Assistant. Administrative
duties will be covered by existing staff within the Community Development Department.
● There a few items needed to successfully transition Rental Inspections. These costs are being covered by
the remaining Section 8 funds that have accumulated over the years. These funds must be used on housing
related costs, which rental inspection qualifies for. A transfer of $32,306 from Section 8 to the General Fund will
cover all transition costs.

Budget Comments/Issues:
● The 2014 Budget for Other Financing Uses includes an increased operating transfer to the MIS Internal Service
Fund. $175,000 fully restores I.T. depreciation expense that departments were charged in the past. MIS funding
had been temporarily eliminated a couple years ago to help alleviate budget constraints. Funding had been
partially restore in 2012 and 2013.
● In 2014 unemployment personnel costs will be charged directly to the department that incurs the costs.
