PIIBLIC HEARINGS:
1. PUBLIC HEARING ON 1990 BUDGET:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated the City's budgeting process was a long-
term process that began in March, 1989 with a goal setting retreat to
identify the City's priorities. He stated the retreat was followed by
planning a number of other exercises. These included departmental goals
and objectives setting for 1990 and the revision of the City's five year
capital improvements plan.

'Mr. Burns stated the official budgetary process began on March 21, 1989
which consisted of a number of ineetings with department managers. He
stated during this initial phase, department managers were asked to meet
with their staff to develop departmental budgets in keeping with
departmental goals and objectives, as well as the Council's priorities.
He stated when these departmental budgets were completed, he and the
Finance Director and Staff Accountant met with department managers to
review and discuss departmental budgets. He stated a draft budget was
then prepared for review by the City Council.
Mr. Burns stated the City Council met three times in 3une £or a tatal
of about 18 hours to review not only the budget, but to discuss
operations of the City and a number of important issues. He stated the
four main issues were requests for additional personnel, the temporary
employee issue, the recycling issue, and the fire training facility
issue.
Mr. Burns stated there were requests for seven additional full-time
employees which included four police officers, a fire inspector and two
accountants. He stated the end result was a decision to hire only one
additional person, an accountant for the Finance Department. He stated,
however, funds were set aside in a contingency appropriation for one
additional police officer. Mr. Burns also be pointed out that the
budget does not include funding for two positions that were included in
�the 1989 budget,
Mr. Burns stated in regard to the temporary employee issue, the
employees in these positions work between 20 and 40 hours per week. He
stated these employees have worked a number of years and they do not
receive the benefits available to full-time employees. He stated the
solution to the problem was agreement by the Council to fund pro-rated
benefits for temporary employees, but not convert the employees to
authorized status. He stated during the first half of 1990, staff will
submit lists of temporary positions to the Council and decisions will
be made if these particular positions will become authorized. He stated
funds have been included within the General Fund contingency
appropriation which could be used to implement any plan the Council may
approve.
Mr. Burns stated the recycling issue was one of the most difficult
because it is a State mandate. He stated the bottom line is the City
has opted to maintain the recycling program that now exists. He stated
the City is not accepting plastics or expanding to multi-family units.
Mr. Burns stated although there is promise of State funding for local
recycling programs, no one is sure what portion of that funding will
reach local governments. He stated the City has been studying
alternatives for the provision of local recycling services. He stated
it is hoped to develop a long-term recycling strategy taking into
account successes and failures of other jurisdictions, as well as
' changes in State mandates and funding.

,Mr. Burns stated another major issue was the request for a fire training
facility. He stated the Fire Chief, Bob Aldrich, pointed out the need
for such a facility during the budgeting process. He stated OSHA
restrictions have made it increasingly difficult to conduct live burns
for training purposes. Mr. Burns stated the Council felt that the
training facility might be provided more efficiently through a joint
program with other cities. He stated although funds were not earmarked
in the Capital Improvement Projects Fund, the Council agreed to include
a contingency line item that could be used if a multi-agency program is
established.
Mr. Burns stated in 1990, the City adopted a number of organizational
changes in preparing the budget. He stated in the past, the charging
of employee services was spread out over a number of different funds and
budgeted amounts for personnel bore little resemblance to actual costs.
He stated this compromised budget accountability. Mr. Burns stated the
1990 budget substitutes annual interfund charges for direct charging of
employee time.
Mr. Burns stated another budgetary change that has impacted General Fund
expenditures has been the inclusion of MIS expenditures as part of the
General Fund. He stated this was previously established as a separate
fund used to account for data processing expenditures. He stated both
the direct charging of employee time and the inclusion of the MIS
1 expenditure as part of the General Fund added about $724,000 to the
General Fund budget, but that is an artificial escalation.
Mr. Burns stated he would like to compare the 1990 budget with past
budgets taking into account all the various funds. He stated
expenditures for all funds have decreased about $770,000 from 1989 to
10,276,827. He stated one of the major expenditures in 1988 and 1989
was the municipal center construction.
Mr. Burns stated the General Fund covers most of the City's operations
and this fund has increased about 3.3 percent over 1989. Mr. Burns
identified several factors which contribute to the increase include
employee cost-of-living increases, a contingency appropriation to cover
the cost of personnel changes, anticipated costs for continuing mowing
of the IIniversity Avenue corridor, and additional costs associated with
operating the City's recycling program.
Mr. Burns stated in regard to the Special Revenue Funds, the 1990 budget
basically funds the cable television operation and the grant management
programs. He stated the State Aid Fund for streets is not included in
this portion of the budget. He stated the State Aid Fund is for capital
improvement projects and is included under the Capital Improvement
Projects Funds.
Mr. Burns stated the budget for Capital Improvement Projects has
'decreased about 44.1 percent from 1989 to $1,100,000 for 1990. He
stated most of this chanqe is due to the elimination of civic center
remodelinq costs which were included in the 1988 and 1989 budgets. Mr.
1io
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 2D, 1989 PAGE 4
�Burns stated projects to be funded from the Capital Improvement Projects
budget include the purchase of computerized ballot tabulation equipment,
the acquisition of a new fire engine, the refurbishing of the Fire
Department's aerial truck, construction of a warming house/picnic
shelter at Flanery Park, improvement of parking facilities at
Springbrook Nature Center, replacement of an existing picnic shelter at
Springbrook Nature Center, the improvement of East River Road between
Hartman Circle and Glen Creek Road, the signalization of the University
Avenue/83rd Avenue intersection, and the installation of emergency
signal preemption equipment at three University Avenue intersections.
He stated the this fund also includes a contingency that could be used
to fund a multi-jurisdictional fire training facility.
Mr. Burns stated he would like to address the impact of the 1990 budget
on property taxes. He stated in order to understand the tax impact of
the City's budget levy, the 1989 Tax Reform Law must be examined. He
stated that the 1989 tax reform law reduced State Aid to the City by
more than $800,000. Mr. Burns stated, however, the school district aid
was increased. He stated the intent was to take from the cities and
give to the school districts.
Mr. Burns stated the City's levy limits were expanded to allow the City
to recoup the $500,000 that was lost. He stated the school district's
levy limits decreased by 9.6 percent. He stated the overall objective
�was to maintain tax neutrality. Mr. Burns stated in extending the
City's budget levy to the new limits, it increased the levy by $860,195
or by 23.5 percent. He stated of this amount, only $59,750 (1.6
percent) was new levying authority that the City would have used had the
tax revisions not occurred.
Mr. Burns stated the impact on the average Fridley home valued at
$77,800 would mean an increase in City taxes from $113 to $130 annually
or a 15.04 percent increase. He stated it should be pointed out that
the City's portion of the property tax is only about 12 percent of a
property owner's total tax bill. Mr. Burns stated there will be some
tax increases for most properties, but on the other hand, there should
be some decreases for school district taxes. He stated the Finance
Director has talked to School District 14 and knows their property levy
is about 24 percent less.
Mr. Burns stated another area which is relevant to the budget is the
City's debt administration. He stated he is very pleased the City does
not really have any general obligation debt. He stated the long-term
debt for which the City is responsible is related entirely to assessed
public improvement projects. He stated as a result of zero debt and
strong fund balances, the City enjoys an Aal bond rating given by
Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
Mr. Burns stated he also wanted to review the Enterprise Funds. He
�stated these funds have been established to account for revenues and
expenditures of specialized City services that are self-supporting. He
stated they include the Water Fund, the Sewer Fund, the Storm Water
111
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20. 1989 PAGE 5
1 Fund, and the Liquor Fund. Mr. Burns stated the Water Fund expenditures
for 1990 are budgeted at $1,153,162. He stated the $66,428 increase is
a result of increased personnel costs, higher utility costs, and
increased costs for depreciation of equipment. He stated the budget
also provides funding for a variety of water system projects identified
in the City's five year Capital Tmprovements Plan. He stated these
include replacement of roofs for the City's well houses, repair and
lining of concrete walls in the City's reservoir, repair of the City's
storage tank, and redevelopment of a 3MG City well at Locke Park and a
1/2MG City well at Commons Park.
Mr. Burns stated some other projects include the removal of
trichloroethylene from the City's water. Mr. Burns stated it is fair
to assume that sometime in 1990, the City will have to consider some
water rate adjustment.
Mr. Burns stated the Sewer Fund includes one small capital improvement
to rebuild the lift station located on the west side oP University
Avenue near Rice Creek. He stated in order to match MWCC expenditures
with revenues, the City should be considering a sewer rate increase in
1990.
Mr. Burns stated the budget is a time to measure the City's fiscal
strength and endurance, as well as a time for setting of goals that will
�help shed the fiscal fat. He stated, in general, the City's General
Fund revenue increases have not been keeping pace with General Fund
expenditure increases. He stated, consequently, fund balances are on
the decline. Mr. Burns stated in each of the last two years, the City
has been using the fund reserves to balance the General Fund budget.
He stated in 1988, the amount was $71,000; in 1989, it was $147,000; and
for 1990, it is $293,000, which means an increase from .1 percent in
1988 to about 3.7 percent in 1990.
Mr. Burns stated there is a concern and this trend should be reversed.
He stated intergovernmental revenues are decreasing and property tax
revenues have experienced almost no growth during the 1980's and any
growth is absorbed by tax increment financing. Mr. Burns stated to a
large extent, the City's decline in unrestricted fund balances may be
attributable to the construction of the Municipal Center. He stated
during the 1980's, the City radically reduced the amount of money spent
for long-term debt. He stated this radical reduction of fixed cost
gives the City greater flexibility to deal with items which the City
cannot control.
Mr. Burns stated the City's taxes are, historically, among one of the
lowest. He stated Fridley is a first-ring suburb of Minneapolis that
may have peaked economiaally by the early or mid-eighties. He stated
the City's population has declined and stabilized at about 29,000. He
stated most of the indicators of economic growth reveal little or no
�growth and portray a mature community whose value of construction rises
and falls as remaininq pockets of undeveloped land are used.
112
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20, 1989 PAGE 6
�Mr. Burns stated there are several mitigating circumstances that help
to brighten the City's picture. He stated the City's unemployment is
below 4 percent and per capita income has been growing. Mr. Burns
stated he is encouraqed by Target's investment in a 685,000 square foot
expansion. He stated Onan is also considering an expansion, and, there
is hope for development occurring in the future at Lake Pointe Center.
Mr. Burns stated it was important for the City staff to determine what
could be done to reverse this trend in 1990. He stated he met with five
staff inembers for a brainstorming session and a number of
recommendations were suggested. He stated these suggestions included
dealing effectively with personnel costs such as relating performance
to salary increases; a central purchasing system; refrain from extending
the scope of City services; promotion of budget controls; and lobbying
against State mandates that would raise City costs. Mr. Burns stated
as far as revenues, the following suggestions were proposed: examine
existing and new fees; a more active investment program; adjustment of
interfund charges; and lobbying the State Legislature to protect the
City from further erosion of the State's local governmental aids
programs.
Mr. Burns stated comments from this brainstorming session relating to
the establishment of guidelines or standards that would govern the use
of tax increment Pinancing were as follows: TIF be provided for those
,projects that could demonstrate strong market support; use TIF resources
to shore up local housing values; adopt a more ��pay as you go approach";
continued preference for high density/high value projects; pursue a more
aggressive lobbying effort to protect our TIF programs; better use of
non-TIF incentives such as IRB's, SBA 503 loans, housing revenue bonds,
and revolving loan funds; and establish a revolving loan program using
Community Development Block Grant funds.
Mr. Burns stated, in conclusion, the budget addresses the Council's
goals. He stated in March, the Council's priorities were strengthening
the City's financial system, improvement of the City's land use
regulation process, and the development of City parks. He stated the
budget does address these priorities and includes some attractive
capital improvement projects, but does not address the need for
additional water fund revenue. He stated the trend to use fund balances
must be reversed. He stated worthwhile developments must be completed
and TIF guidelines should be considered that serve to strengthen the
City's tax base.
Councilman Billings asked if an increase is anticipated in the water
fees.
Mr. Hurns felt there would be some adjustment in the water fees. He
stated one staff inember suggested looking at commercial and industrial
fees. He stated the scenario is there may be a rate increase among all
' customers, but this decision would be made by the Council.

FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20, 1969 PAGE 7
Councilman Billings asked if the sewer rates would be raised by the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Mr. Burns stated their charges
have increased an additional 10 percent for 1990. He stated this
resulted in an increase in the City's budget.
Councilman Schneider asked if the City had not lost the $800,000
in State Aid Funds, what would be the net increase in the budget.
Mr. Burns stated if the City had received these funds, the budget levy
would have had to be increased about $60,000.
Councilman Billings stated he wanted to clarify what the State
Legislature has done to real estate taxes. He stated the Legislature
has taken away $800,000 in aid to the City and allowed the City to raise
their levy limit. He stated the Legislature then gave an equal amount
to the school district and county and advised those bodies to lower
their levy. He stated, in theory, if the State is correct, the real
estate taxes should be just about the same as last year, not taking into
consideration the 5 percent increase in property values.
Mr. Burns stated the City expected to receive this $800,000 in State aid
and this amount was considered in the budgeting process. xe stated it
was not known until later this year, after passage of the 1989 Tax
Reform Law in September, that this amount of funding would be
eliminated.
MoTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the publia hearing
notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:29 p.m.
Mr. Rusch, 561 63rd Avenue, asked about the meeting on December 4
regarding a special levy.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated this meeting deals with the Charter
requirement regarding the 16 mill levy under the old calculation of
taxes.
Mr. Rusch asked if the cost for the storage tank would be an additional
expenditure which would increase the budget.
Mr. Rusch was advised that construction of this tank would not affect
the levy and funds would be used from the Capital Improvement Fund.
Mr. Rusch asked if it was known when development would take place at the
Lake Pointe Center site.
Mr. Burns stated there are alot of variables which are outside the
City's control, one being the market for office space. He advised Mr.
Rusch that, at this time, there is no date when development may begin
at Lake Pointe.

Ms. Vasecka asked the rationalization for pro-rated benefits for
temporary employees.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated there are some temporary employees who
work 40 hours per week and have been doing so for several years. She
stated the City must follow comparable worth guidelines and the
difficulty in this situation is that there should be equal pay for equal
work. She stated even though the temporary position is not authorized,
the employee may still be working 40 hours a week, with no benefits.
Mr. Burns stated those employees who are working more than 24 hours per
week will be receiving pro-rated annual leave benefits. He stated those
working 32 hours per week will receive health insurance, as well as pro-
rated annual leave benefits. He stated for employees working up to 40
hours a week or more, they will receive full benefits, the same as full-
time employees.
Ms. Vasecka asked if a lot of study has been done on this issue as it
gets expensive.
Mr. Burns stated staff has conducted a review and Council has discussed
the issue. He stated the net impact will amount to about $70,000.
Councilman Schneider stated there was a lot of discussion by the Council
in regard to this issue. He stated another concern is the City has had
good temporary employees, but they leave to accept full-time positions
with other cities or organizations.
Ms. Vasecka asked if the City hoped to alleviate some of the temporary
positions.
Mr. Burns stated the Council will have to decide if they wish to
authorize the position or, in some cases, they may want it to remain as
a temporary position or discontinue it altogether.
Ms. Vasecka asked about the community involvement in recycling, as she
was concerned about the solid waste issue. She cited an article in the
Wall Street Sournal about a town in Iowa where everyone recycled,
resulting in lower garbage collection costs. Ms. Vasecka stated she is
aware that a lot of tenants of multiple dwellings in Fridley do not
recycle and did not want to pay higher taxes when everyone is not doing
their part in recycling.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the City's Environmental Quality/Energy
� Commission has been studying this issue.

Councilwoman Jorgenson advised Ms. Vasecka that Paul Dahlberg from the
Commission was present this evening, if she would like to speak with him
on her concerns.
Ms. Vasecka stated she understands Target needs the water storage tank
to obtain preferential insurance rates.
Councilman Billings stated the City was in the process of reviewing the
need for an additional water storage tank when Target approached the
City regarding such a tank for fire protection purposes. He stated
Target has given the City $50,000 so that the plans could be expedited.
Councilman Schneider stated the City does not have adequate reserve
capacity in this area, if there is a major fire, and therefore, the City
is looking at accelerating construction of the water storage tank.
Mayor Nee stated the City was planning for this storage tank before
Target ever had plans to expand.
Ms. Vasecka asked if there would be changes in water practices during
the summer months.
Mayor Nee stated some adjustments may have to be made after review of
the study in regard to TCE in some of the wells. He stated this may
result in shutting down some wells.

Ms. Vasecka asked where the HRA gets the funds.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated even though Lake Pointe is vacant, taxes
are being paid by the property owner. She stated more revenue is being
derived from Lake Pointe now than when the drive-in was located on this
site.
Ms. Vasecka stated the property taxes she is assessed is paying for the
maintenance at Lake Pointe.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated because the HRA and the City are
two distinct bodies, the HRA actually receives their tax dollars
separately.
Ms. Vasecka stated she only hopes the school district will decrease
their levy.
Mr. 8urns stated he has been advisad that they are required, by law, to
reduce the levy limit. He stated it would be reduced by 9.6 percent.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 20, 1989 PAGE 10
Mr. Pribyl stated because the school districts received additional State
aids, their levy limit has to be uniformly decreased.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated the intent of the State Legislature was
to take away from the city and give to the school districts.
Mr. Burns stated another variable is whether or not additional levies
have been approved within the school district.
Ms. Vasecka asked if the 5 percent increase in property values affects
all properties, as she stated land values continue to increase, but
housing values are decreasing.
Mr. Pribyl stated he cannot speak specifically on the percentage of
increase or decrease. He stated he has not heard where market values
have been decreasing on Fridley homes.
Ms. Vasecka stated in her neighborhood three homes were sold below the
assessed value.
Mr. Smith, s275 Riverview Terrace, asked how the $800,000 would be split
between the school districts.
Mr. Pribyl stated the City was not part of this Legislative process and
does not know how the funds will be distributed.
Mr. Burns stated what the Legislature has stated is that each city's
State aid will be reduced by 3.4 percent of the total property value
within their community.
Mayor Nee stated two letters were received from F. H. Rudeen and Irene
Lucast regarding property taxes.
