● The Goal for turnaround times on inspections and plan reviews includes:
● 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.

Budget Comments/Issues:
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, liquor store profits and tax levy proceeds.
The fund also receives earnings from the auction of surplus city property as well as investment earnings.
The 2016 budget for the Capital Equipment Fund includes a substantial allocation of LGA. 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 2016 CIP for the fund include: $188,000 for police fleet vehicles,
$140,200 for the first phase of 800 MHz radio equipment replacement, and $47,500 for the final phase of the
emergency siren horn replacements.
● Reserve for Delayed Projects includes final payment to ABM equipment for the purchase of Aerial Truck.
This vehicle was originally budgeted in the 2014 CIP.

Budget Comments/Issues:
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.
● In 2016, our operation will begin the project of remodeling our 41 year old Moore Lake location store. Due to this, there will
be a depreciation increase from the anticipated $300,000 cost in renovation.
● The 2016 budget reflects an anticipated 8% increase in sales at our Fridley Market store location, and a 5% increase at
our Moore Lake store location.
● Our operation has maintained a 25% gross margin, reflecting a 7% net profit for 2016, despite the increase in competition
from the national liquor retailers.
