Background
The City of Fridley has an opportunity to accept an Anoka County Statewide Health Improvement

bikes. The Springbrook Nature Center and Fridley Parks and Recreation teams have completed a study

Nominal costs would be required to maintain the bike fleet including the occasional replacement of
parts and components of the bicycles as well as annual tune-ups. Expected annual maintenance costs,
depending upon where bikes are purchased, may be included for up to two years. We would
incorporate a $100 per bicycle per year maintenance budget after the initial warranty and service
period.

Title
ResolutionNo. 2022-16, Approvingand Authorizing Signing an Agreement with Patrol Officers (Local
#119) for the City of FridleyPublic Safety Department for the Years 2022, 2023, and 2024
Background
Athree-year tentative agreement has been reached between the City of Fridley (City) and the Police
Local #119) for the contract years 2022, 2023, and 2024.At 32
members,it is the largest unit in the City.
The City and L.E.L.S Local #119entered negotiations this winter,and both parties reached what we
believe is a positive and fair settlement. The Labor Market for this group has experienced wide
fluctuations in settlements due to many social factors and a very low supply of labor. Negotiations were
positive and collaborative. The unit has taken a vote and have approved the tentative agreement, which
is summarized below.
Summary of Changes
1.Article 39Duration: Three contract years (2022-2024).
2.Article 17 Insurance: Employees in this bargaining unit will receive the same insurance benefit
package as all other city employees, which includes the health, dental, life, and disability insurance
and alternatives (cash option or benefit leave). Havingthe same benefit package for all city
employees has been a long-standing pattern and valued practice at the City andremains an
important strategy in maintaining fairness between all groups.
3.Article 22 Wages: Both parties agree to a general increase of 3% plus a $.50/hour market wage
adjustment for 2022, a general increase of 3% plus a $.50/hour market wage adjustment for 2023,
and a general increase of 3% for 2024.The market adjustment is
compensation study.
4.Article 26 Wellness Leave: Employees in this bargaining unit will be awarded 48 hours of Wellness
Leave at the start of the calendar year for participation in the Public Safety Wellness Program, which
includesspecific goals that address overall wellness for law enforcement professionals. They will not
be required to earn the benefit in advance. Approximately 80% of the members currently earn the
benefit so the impact to scheduling is minimal. They will no longer be eligible to participate in the
City-wideWellness Programwhich reduces City costs. Wellness Leave hours must be used in the
calendar year in which they are awarded, and unused hours after December 31 of the year will be

forfeited. Wellness Leave hours will be pro-rated at 1.846 hours per pay period for those who leave
employment prior to the end of the year, or for those who start employment after the start of the
year.
Financial Impact
The costs for the proposed contract for 2022-2024 are estimated at $33,280. This amount reflects what
was not already budgeted in the 2022 General Fund. The Department will need to offset costs in other
areas to assure a balanced budget. The amount is manageable based on previous year-end balances.
In 2023 and 2024, amounts will be adjusted according to the provisions of the contract. In 2021, regular
base wages for patrol officers were $2,642,405 for 32 officers.

means of assisting common interest communities (CIC) with financing improvements to common areas.
A Housing Improvement Area(HIA)is a designated portion of the Cityof Fridley (City)in which housing
improvements are financed with public funds. The public financing is then repaid through fees imposed
against the benefitting housing units, in the form of a fee that gets paid yearly with their taxes. The
process is similar to collecting special assessments.
Appropriate capital improvements, according to the law, include any common elements of the property
finance improvements themselves.
In the middle of 2017, the Innsbruck North Townhome Association (INTA) started inquiring about the
potential of having the City establish a HIA to finance common area improvements needed in their
development. In early 2021, INTA submitted a preliminary application, and in November of 2021
submitted a complete application along with the petition and signatures needed to move their request
forward.
What are the steps to creating the HIA?
To create a HIA, a completed application and petition requesting a public hearing must be presented to
the City Clerk, containing the signatures of at least 60% of the affected property owners. INTA submitted
a petition with signatures from 75% of the owners.
Before adopting the Ordinance creating the HIA, the City must hold a public hearing at which the
proposed improvements, proposed fees, affected housing units, and the exempt units are listed. This
public hearing is scheduled .
Official Publication (Exhibit A) and affected property owners were notified of the hearing (Exhibit B) and
may testify at the hearing.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

The ordinance creating the HIA must be adopted within six months of the public hearing. The first
reading of the ordinance was set for this evening and the second reading of the ordinance will occur on
th
February 28. In the 45 days after the second reading of the ordinance (April 19)
If 45% cannot be
established (see timeline on following page).
As part of the application and required by statute, INTA developed a long-term plan to maintain the
complex. The plan addressed operations, maintenance, and necessary capital improvements of the
common elements and identified financing for the projects. The association also submitted a financial
plan, prepared by an independent third party. An audited financial plan will be submitted annually, after
implementation.
What is the cost to residents of INTA?
The construction cost of the improvements is approximately $5.6 million. INTA has secured a short-term
construction loan for the project and the City will issue taxable general obligation bonds in
October/November this year to pay off the construction loan. The anticipated bond amount is $6.055
million, which is approximately $447,000 more than the construction costs and includes bond issuance
costs, City administrative fee, City soft costs for legal and financial and six months of capitalized interest.
Interest on the bonds is anticipated to be approximately 4.22%. Based upon this bond amount and
interest rate, the fee to be levied to the homeowners to repay the bond will be shared equally among
the housing units pursuant to their association documents.
The fee to be charged against each housing unit is estimated to be approximately $21,472. These fees
th
will be set and memorialized in a resolution scheduled for adoption on February 28 (Exhibit C).
Homeowners will have until July 1, 2022 to prepay the fee, which will reduce the amount to be bonded
for. If homeowners do not prepay by this date, the amount will be sent to the County for certification in
late November and assessed starting in 2023 over the term set forth in the ordinance, which is 20 years.
There is no option to pay off the amount in full after the ordinance goes into effect. To date, staff has
only heard from one resident opposing the improvements (Exhibit D).
Does the City have any risk?
The risk to the City is minimal. The bonds are repaid by fees levied against the unit and paid as part of
the annual property tax payments, just like special assessments. In addition, the interest charged on the
bonds is 100 basis points above the True Interest Cost on the bonds and the overall fees to be paid are
levied at 105% of annual debt service cost. This provides coverage on the bonds for the debt services
payments and will start to build a reserve in the bond fund in case of late payments, etc. As part of the
approval process, the City and INTA will enter into a development agreement which will outline many
things including repayment of the bonds. The document will have provisions that if the assessments
received are not adequate to make principal and interest payments on the bonds, the INTA has to
provide the City whatever amount the payments were short by. It should be noted that communities
that have utilized this financing mechanism have not had issues with collecting adequate assessments
annually to make the debt service payments.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Financial Impact
There is no negative financial impact to the City. In addition to receiving an administrative fee of 1%
of the bond cost, the City will reimbursed for all of its actual costs.
Recommendation
Staff recommend the City Council conduct a public hearing and first reading of Ordinance No. 1398.

You don't often get email from jalmod@yahoo.com. Learn why this is important
Dear Mr. Boland,
I am writing in opposition to the proposed adoption of an ordnance to impose fees on housing
units owners for the following reasons:
1.We were told that the project will be for replacement of water and sewer lines of the
residences. Nothing was mentioned about the improvement of the recreation center.
2.The recreation center and all the other improvement beside the replacement of the lines are
supposed to be taken care of by the association on a yearly basis.
3.I am not a lawyer, but according to mn 515A.3-107 and mn 515A. 3-106 bylaws these
improvements are the association's responsibility.
4.We were not informed that of the cost per unit requires prepayment of $21000 by July 2022.
We were told a monthly fee of around $110-120, when in fact as stated in the letter we received
from the city that's it's $1690.95 a yearly fee to be paid in two payments of 845 dollars with the
yearly taxes for 20 years.
