Resolution No. 2021-115, Cancelling an Interfund Loan in the Amount of $840,000 for the 53 Avenue Lift Station Improvement Project Korrie Johnson, Acting Director of Finance, provided an overview of the consideration of Resolution No. rd 2021-115 canceling an interfund loan in the amount of $840,000 for the 53 Avenue lift station improvement project. She stated that the improvements were deemed necessary, and the lift station was not in the Capital Improvement Plan in 2020. A loan was initiated from the Community Investment Fund (CIF) to the Sanitary Sewer Fund on May 26, 2020, for up to $840,000. The Sanitary Sewer Fund had sufficient cash reserves to pay for the project. She noted that the CIF will be charging a loan origination fee to the Sanitary Sewer Fund, explaining that the fee is 1.2 percent of the loan value, for a total of $1,020. She stated the fee would cover staff time and logistics involved in initiating the loan. Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2021-115. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that it is great the project was able to be funded without the loan. Mayor Lund agreed noting that it will be nice to have those funds available for another use. 6 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 11/22/2021 Minutes Page 3 Motion made by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2021-115, Canceling an Interfund rd Loan in the amount of $840,000 for the 53 Avenue Lift Station Improvement Project. Seconded by Councilmember Eggert. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8. Resolution No. 2021-117, Approving Proposed 2022 Rates and Fees for the Public Utilities and Solid Waste Abatement Korrie Johnson, Acting Finance Director, presented consideration of Resolution No. 2021-117 approving 2022 utility rates which include water, sanitary sewer, storm water, and solid waste abatement. She reviewed the proposed 2022 budget calendar. She reviewed the general assumptions for the different utility rates over the next five years noting that the goal of the City is to have stable predictable rates over time. She reviewed the proposed 2020 rate highlights for the Solid Waste Abatement Fund noting a nine percent decrease for all customers, which equates to a savings of $1 per quarter. She stated that recycling commodity pricing has rebounded, which means the recycled goods are worth more money. She stated that the 2022 recycling rate from Republic Services will be $3.81 for the months January through April and $3.03 for the months May through December. Ms. Johnson stated the Water Utility Fund rate is proposed to have three percent fixed rate and variable rate increases for 2022. She highlighted other considerations for the fund including the repayment of the CIF interfund loans through 2026, a three percent increase in the utility rates in 2022 and continuing annually through 2026, a general decrease in water usage, and use of American Rescue Funds for capital projects. She provided highlights on proposed capital projects, noting $8,740,000 in infrastructure projects from 2022 through 2026 and $344,200 in equipment projects from 2022 through 2026. She noted that American Rescue Plan (ARPA) Funds totaling $844,500 will be used for water infrastructure projects in 2023 and 2024. ARPA funding will allow the water fund to meet cash balance requirements, and no external debt issuances are anticipated for this fund from 2022 through 2026. Ms. Johnson stated that the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund is proposed to have three percent fixed and variable rate increases. She highlighted other considerations stating that the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) charges comprise about 70 percent of the total fund expenses, noting that the increase from 2021 to 2022 is over five percent. She said the cancellation of the $840,000 interfund loan from the CIF and noted that the three percent increase in utility rates in 2022 is proposed to continue annually through 2026. She provided details on proposed capital projects noting $3,185,000 in infrastructure projects from 2022 through 2026 and $283,300 in equipment projects from 2022 through 2026. She stated that American Rescue Plan (ARPA) Funds totaling $1,620,000 will be used for sanitary sewer infrastructure projects in 2022, 2023, and 2024. ARPA funding will allow the sanitary sewer fund to meet cash balance requirements beginning in 2023 and no external debt issuances are anticipated from 2022 through 2026. Ms. Johnson stated for the Storm Water Utility Fund a ten percent fixed rate increase is proposed for 2022, which equates to $1. She stated that this assumes a ten percent increase in the utility rates in 2022 and will continue annually through 2025, with a three percent increase proposed for 2026. The increase is needed due to increasing capital and operational needs to comply with the new stormwater permit. In 7 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 11/22/2021 Minutes Page 4 2022, the fund will not meet the lower limit fund balance threshold. She noted that $5,090,000 is planned in infrastructure projects from 2022 through 2026 and $122,000 in equipment projects for the same period. American Rescue Plan (ARPA) Funds totaling $480,000 will be used for storm water infrastructure projects in 2022 and no external debt issuances are anticipated from 2022 through 2026. Ms. Johnson provided examples of different utility customer billing for both commercial and residential users. She also provided comparisons to other municipalities, noting that Fridley ranked 15 out of the 27 communities that participated. She stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution adopting the proposed 2022 public utility and solid waste abatement rates as presented. Mayor Lund recognized that the Council has discussed this topic previously. He noted that utilities are a business and increases are inevitable. Ms. Johnson noted that the City is attempting to keep increases small and stable for residents. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that ARPA is a great program and asked for details on when the funds must be used. Ms. Johnson replied that Fridley received half the funds in 2021 and the remaining half will be received in 2022. She stated that the funds have to be used by 2026. She noted that Fridley plans to use the funds during the period of 2022 through 2025. She confirmed that the funds can only be used for certain purposes such as infrastructure and utility funds. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that these funds are a great use for updating dated infrastructure. Ms. Johnson agreed it is great for the City to use the ARPA funds in this manner as it helps the residents, commercial businesses, and improves the infrastructure. Councilmember Bolkcom asked for more details on the stormwater permits. Ms. Johnson stated that she would defer that question to a later date to allow her to gather additional information. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that the stormwater permit requirements are mandated, and the City must comply. Mayor Lund stated that for once, these mandates will be funded through ARPA rather than the City having to increase costs to support the mandates. Councilmember Bolkcom noted that even though the funds will help, it will not cover the entire cost the City will incur from the mandates. Councilmember Eggert stated that as a mature suburb, the infrastructure has been in existence for many decades and therefore the City has a program to update the infrastructure in order to continue to provide great service to the residents. He commented that there is more work for stormwater today because it 8 Jufn!2/ City Council Meeting 11/22/2021 Minutes Page 5 was not considered 50 years ago. He stated he is happy the City has a solid program to work through and maintain the utilities for its residents.

On May 26, 2020 the Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-23, which approved Project No. rd 20-519(Project) for improvements to the 53Avenue Lift Station, and an interfund loan to support the design, engineering,construction, and other expenses related to the project. The Sanitary Sewer had enough money in cash reserves to pay for the project in its entirety therefore no longer needing an interfund loan from the CIF Fund. On November 22, 2021 the Council approved Resolution No. 2021-115, which cancelledthe interfund loan for the Project. However, after approval staff discovered an administrative error in the resolution. The first resolution noted a loan issuance fee of $1,020. The correct amount of the loan issuance fee is $10,080, or 1.2% of the total loan amount of $840,000. This resolution repeals the first resolution, and notes the correct loan issuance fee to be charged. Financial Impact rd Due to the staff time and planning logistics involved with initiating the 53Avenue Lift Station interfund loan, it has been determined that the Sanitary Sewer Fund will pay the CIF a loan issuance fee of 1.2% equal to $10,080. Recommendation Staff recommend approval of Resolution No. 2021-119.

Six responsive bids were received. This project is essential to maintain the existingsanitary sewer service for the Cityof Fridley (City), and to address existing inflow and infiltration(I/I)issues with these systems. Pipe lining is a cost-effective method of preserving the structural integrity and flow characteristics of the sanitary sewer without replacing the entire pipeand structures. The project area is located in the northeast sectionof the City. The area is bound by Osborne Road and rd 73Avenue to the north and south, and Old Central Avenue and Stinson Boulevard to the east and west. As noted, sixbids were received. The low bid was received from Hydro-Klean, LLC of Des Moines, Iowa in the amount of $342,115.83, 30489,468(Exhibit A). The two lowest bids were competitive and within $10,500 of one another and the threelowest bids were within $51,500. Ofthe sixbids, the high bid receivedwas $503,899.62. Staff believe the variance in bids is due tobidding at the end of the construction season. Contractors are typically morecompelled to provide competitive pricingas they plan for the upcoming seasonwhen work schedules are open to additional work. The project iseligible for reimbursement under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grantsand partial reimbursement from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)I/I Grant Program. The Capital Improvement Project (CIP)budget is $520,000 and staff recognizes the potential forpursuing additional areas to maximize the use of available fundsand further address I/I issues. This will be accomplished via change order, or an additional solicitation for bids, or a combinationof both. The City has not contracted with Hydro-Klean in recent years. However, upon checking with industry references,staffbelieves they are a reputable contractor and will deliver the project with the requisite quality specifiedin the bid documents. Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. 5: Jufn!5/ If the City Council approves the attached resolution, staff will notify the contractor of the award and issue a notice to proceed to the contractor upon receipt of acceptable submittals. Staff expect the work to begin as early as January with substantial completion in November 2022. As staff regularly do with some of capital projects to reduce bid costs, the City will offer a time limit for the contractor, and they can complete the work according to their circumstances and workload. The schedule will be worked on with the contractor to determine when the work will take place. It is anticipated that the work should be able to be completed in four weeks. Financial Impact Funding is provided by the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund with reimbursement provided by ARPA Grants and partial reimbursement under the MCES Inflow/Infiltration Grant Program. Recommendation Staff recommends the approval of Resolution No. 2021-120.

Eight responsive bids were received. The City of Fridley Engineering Division has been working with Barr Engineering on a study of this area and have been meeting with the residents to obtain their comments and concerns of this area and present the findings of the Barr Study together with theplans for this work. This project is a result of the work completed by Barr over the past year. The plans are to remove sediment in four wetland/ponds in the area on the west side of Farr Lake. These wetlands existed prior to the development of homes in this area and were included in the storm drainage system for the development. Over time, the wetlands have become filled with dead trees, vegetation and sediment. This project will clean the basins of dead trees and vegetation, and remove sediment as allowed by the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). In addition, Fridley Public Works hasbeen involved in the repair and maintenance of the storm sewer system connecting these areas. As noted, eight bids were received. The low bidder was Peterson Companies of Chisago City, Minnesota, with a bid in the amount of $74,228. The eight bids ranged from $74,228 to $183,900 with an average bid of $140,576. The bid by Peterson Companies has been qualified and the Contractor interviewed. No reason to not accept the bid has been identified, however due to the nature of this project, the time of year the work will be performed and the difficulty of completing this work, we expect the final cost to be higher than the bid price. Staffexpectsthe work to begin in December with a majority of the work to be completed in January or early February. Final completion of the project including restoration work is expected by March 30, 2022.

Minnesota Statute § 466.04 limits the tort liability of municipalities to $500,000 per claimant and $1.5 million per occurrence. Tort liability insurance policies are normally consistent with these items. As part of the annual insurance renewal process, the LMCIT requires the City Council to either accept these limits or waive them. If the City does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to recover no more than $500,000 on anyclaim to which statutory tort limits apply. The total that all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1.5 million. If the City waives the statutory tort limits, a single claimant could potentially recover up to $1.5 million on a single occurrence. The total that all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $1.5 million,regardless of the number of claims. Waiving statutory tort limits exposes the City to claims exceeding the per occurrence tort liability limits. If the City Council were to waive the statutory tort limits, the LMCIT would increase the insurance premium to reflect this increase in liability. Due to the added cost and liability associated with waiving the statutory tort limits, the City has historically accepted and confirmed the statutory tort limits. Based on these factors, staff recommend the City Council not waive the statutory tort limits for 2022. Financial Impact Having statutory tort limits in place helps protect the finances of the City. By putting caps in place, the limits will help protect the City from potential bankruptcy or significant losses.

For the City of Fridley, the Proposed Levy supports four separate budget areas: 1) General Fund; 2) Information Technology Capital Equipment Fund; 3) Springbrook Nature Center Fund; and 4) various debt service funds. Generally, the Final Property Tax Levy cannot exceed the Proposed Levy, except for specific situations outlined in Minnesota Statutes. Using theProposed Levy, the County Auditor created and mailed parcel-specific notices of proposed property taxes to each taxpayer for the upcoming year, along with the date, time and location of a public hearing required by theabovementioned statute for each taxing authority. These meetings, at which the public must be allowed to speak, are generally referred to as Truth-in-Taxation hearings. Consistent with the Truth-in-Taxation process, the Fridley City Council reviewed boththe Proposed 2022 Budget and Proposed Levy, either in part or total at various Conference and Council Meetings includingtheSeptember 20, 2021 Conference Meeting and the September 27, 2021 City Council Meeting. Based on those discussions and other anticipated budget changes, the Council certified a Proposed Levy of $17,392,070for 2022, an increase of $501,986, or 2.97% compared to 2021. Financial Impact Based on the abovementioned property tax changes, staff estimate the property taxes for a residential homestead with a median assessed value of $247,200for 2022 (compared to approximately $234,000 for 2021) to increase approximately $37, or 3.73%, from $988for 2021 to $1,025for 2022. These projections are based on estimated Tax Increment Financing District and Fiscal Disparities figures for property taxes payable in 2022, subject to change. Vision Statement We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses. 87 Jufn!:/ Recommendation Staff recommend the Council conduct the Truth-in-Taxation public hearing to receive public comment regarding the Proposed 2022 Budget and Proposed Levy, following a presentation from staff.
