He believes the city should have taken care of the matter without any expense to Dr. Dahl. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 4 Mr. Don Anderson, 7304 West Circle, stated that last Sunday he was walking home by the Carefree Self Storage location around 4:49 a.m. and a Fridley police officer went by at about 80 miles per hour without his lights or siren activated. Mayor Lund said he would let the Police Department know. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 8. Consideration of the 2005 Citv of Fridlev Budqet. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Billings, to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated that as a result of action in 2003, the City was programmed to lose another $1.3 million and a total of $1.75 million in State government aid. The 2004 legislation session was characterized by a great deal of stalemate on almost every issue including those traditionally of interest to the City. There was no bonding bill, no North Star funding, no action on wine and grocery stores and there were very few new mandates. His contact at the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities anticipates the State will be facing a$1.4 billion deficit for the 2006-2007 periods. He also believes there will some property tax backlash as a result of passing on the loss of LGA to taxpayers. There is also some prospect that the market value homestead credit that is used to reduce taxation liability of lower value homes could be eliminated. If that happens, Fridley would lose another $500,000. As a result of the legislation from 2003, Fridley is also scheduled to lose another $134,000 in Local Government Aid. In addition, there will probably be another effort by the Retail Grocers Association to allow wine sales in grocery stores. That would be a concern for the City because the revenue from the municipal liquor stores is a large part of the general fund. Another factor is the possibility of a bonding bill for some funding for Northstar. While the loss of 13 Republican House seats may contribute to compromise, the best bet is that we will see continued stalemate. Dr. Burns stated some of the budget issues discussed include the Council-Commission survey, the Springbrook Nature Center levy, the property tax levy, the five-year Capital Improvements Plan, the transfer of reserves to Capital Improvements, salaries, health insurance benefits and utility rates. The budget turns out to be $16,442,000 which is about $3.2 million more than the 2004 budget. The big reason for the increase is the Capital Improvements projects increase which is $2,945,000. There is very little increase in the other funding areas. The General Fund increased by only 1.3%. Personal service costs constitute 74% of the General Fund budget and increased $217,422 or 2.4%. There have been no additional layoffs and no increases in full-time staffing. The budget does reflect a 3% COLA increase and a 2.8% decrease in the cost of employee health insurance. The increase also includes an additional $57,619 in FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 5 funding for part-time employees, including approximately $25,000 for mowing the University Avenue corridor. The cost of supplies was reduced by $168,881, mainly because we do not have the purchase of the air masks that we had last year for the Fire Department. The services and charges budget category increased by $67,603, part of which covers an increase in legal fees. Dr. Burns stated Capital Outlay increased by $53,300 due to a lot of deferred spending for trucks and other equipment in 2003. Included is the purchase of 4 police squads, Parks Maintenance equipment and a single axle dump truck for the Street Maintenance Division. The Special Revenue Funds are new funds outside the general fund and include the Cable TV fund. A job assessment was done for the Media Specialist position which gave him an increase in 2003 and is reflected in this budget. The Grant Management Fund is up a little due to some changes in the compensation for the Section 8 Coordinator and her assistant. The Solid Waste abatement amount is up slightly due to the new contract, and the Police Activity Fund also increased. The Capital Improvement Funds include reconstruction of 3.8 miles of City streets in four Fridley neighborhoods and building and equipment at $750,000 for a new aerial truck for the Fire Department. After two years of no improvements, we will be doing court resurfacing in parks, replacing carpeting at the Springbrook Nature Center, and replacing a roof and upgrading the restrooms at Community Park. Dr. Burns stated the funding for water, sewer, storm water and liquor funds is down by $432,000, most of which is attributable to the change in budget for costs of goods sold for the municipal liquor stores. The budget for the water fund reflects an increase of 10.8% because of additional costs for treatment chemicals, depreciation costs for 2004 and 2005 capital improvements, and additional debt service. The sewer fund is 1.3% lower than the budget for 2004 reflecting lower treatment costs from the regional sewer service provider, MCES. The Storm Water Fund budget is 4.5% greater than 2004 due to expenditures for the Clean Water Project at the Springbrook Nature Center and increased depreciation costs for capital projects. The Liquor Fund reflects a 9% reduction due to revised estimates of "the cost of goods sold." Dr. Burns stated the 2005 levy increases include the $110,220 increase that is allowed by the City Charter. It also includes an additional $1,198,984 to restore revenues lost by state reductions in Local Government Aid. The City had a one-time opportunity to do that so they chose to levy that entire amount back. Another addition is the $275,000 approved by voters this fall for the Springbrook Nature Center. The impact of this is that the owner of a$200,000 Fridley home will be taxed an additional $65 per year as a result of the LGA recovery and $26 per year as a result of the passage of the Springbrook Nature Center levy. Most homeowners will also face additional taxes from the uneven distribution of property appreciation. There has been a fairly dramatic shift of the tax burden the last couple of years. As a result of changes introduced by the legislature in 2001 the burden of commercial and industrial property has fallen by about 20% and the burden on residential property has increased by about 20%. Another issue is the State's cap on appreciation to prohibit the value on a single family residential property from increasing any more than 8'/%. That cap has been raised to FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 6 12% for this year and 15% for next year. The best estimate of the total tax impact for all taxing jurisdictions in each of the Fridley school districts based on a$200,000 home range from $279 in Spring Lake Park to $346 in Anoka-Hennepin with Columbia Heights taxes going up $281 and Fridley District 14 taxes going $331. Dr. Burns further explained that by the end of 2005, the City's fund balances available for City operations will have been reduced to $14,899,992. This represents a 34% decrease since the end of 2000. Although we commonly refer to these funds as discretionary, most of them are reserved for specific purposes. Of the projected fund balance for 2005, we estimate that $10,426,405 or 70% is reserved for street reconstruction and other capital improvements. Another $3,846,312 or 26% is needed for working capital to tide us over between revenue settlements. Dr. Burns discussed City revenues. He said comparing General Fund expenditures for years 2000 to 2005, we will need transfers from other funds amounting to $1,298,883. This amount will include transfers of $500,000 from the Liquor Fund, $488,283 from the Police Activity Fund, and $250,000 from the Closed Debt Service Fund. Part of the problem is these funds are disappearing. This clearly demonstrates the City's shift since 2000 towards reliance on property taxes rather than intergovernmental revenues. In 2000, taxes were about 34% of the total and by the 2005 budget property taxes will make up 62.2%. Intergovernmental values were at almost 31 % of our total and are now down to 7.1 % and will eventually disappear altogether. He said that constant dollar expenditures for 2005 are actually less than expenditures for every year since 1995. Dr. Burns stated that while there has been some rebound in the value of new construction and continued appreciation of property values, there are clear signs of continued decline of the Fridley economy. New construction was $20.6 million compared with $14.5 million last year but we are still not up to a good healthy average in new construction. Unemployment has climbed from an average monthly rate of 4.56% in 2003 to 4.8% in 2004. The increase in unemployment has been accompanied by continued loss of jobs; loss of more than 2,000 jobs between 2001 and 2003 and the loss of more than 1,000 manufacturing jobs in the same period. The loss of jobs has been accompanied by an increase in property values. Overall, values are up by 7.7%. Homesteaded, single family property values are up by 13.1 %. Smaller apartment units are up by 36.1 % and larger apartment buildings are up by 29.1 %. At the same time, commercial property values have increased by only 1.6% and the value of industrial property has risen by 5.5%. Dr. Burns said the overall incidence of crime is down by 14%. More serious crimes have remained at 2003 levels with variations within categories of crime. Less serious crimes are down in almost every category. He stated that Anoka County reports a 14.8% increase in the number of Fridley residents receiving cash assistance and/or food stamps. School District 14 reports about the same number of students receiving free or reduced meals--about 36% of all students. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 7 Dr. Burns stated the budget was drafted within the context of legislative stalemate and freedom from state-imposed levy limits. New taxing freedom has come at a time when tax burden on different classes of property is shifting from commercial, industrial and higher valued residential property to more moderately valued residential property. Higher property taxes are also accompanied by a loss of jobs, particularly manufacturing jobs. The two most significant characteristics of the budget are its property tax increases and its commitment to street improvements. While the budget maintains financial support for quality governmental services, it will come at a price tag of an additional $2.7 million impact on cash reserves. There is also a$522,000 impact on utility reserves as a result of the Charter amendment being defeated this fall and a substantial impact on general fund transfers. Declining reserves and potential loss of even more State revenue could force the City to make some tough choices for the 2006 budget and beyond. We may need to look at new revenue sources, further cuts in operating expenditures and the redirection of funds designated for capital improvements to operating expenditures. There are two potential needs that may be competing with each other for these funds at some point. We need some source to balance the General Fund but we have the other competing entity in the form of utility funds. If we burn down all the reserves in the utility funds, it could force the City to look for general capital improvement monies to fund our utilities. Mr. Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive N.E., questioned the $25,000 for mowing the University corridor. He stated it should be the State's responsibility. He said senior citizens are on a fixed income and if the City keeps raising taxes, it will force seniors out of Fridley. Mr. Dale Bowen, 5181 St. Moritz, stated it appears the budget for 2005 is pretty well set and his comments will probably have to be for the 2006 budget. In 2004, the Fridley component of his property taxes increased 20% and the overall taxes increased by 14.1 %. For 2005, the Fridley component is going to be a 35.9% increase with a total overall increase of 17%. He asked Council to set some type of limit on the increase for the 2006 budget before they begin the budgeting process. Ms. Pam Reynolds, 1241 Norton Av. N.E., stated she printed off the budget message from the City's website. She was concerned about the significant increase in the Capital Improvement Fund and asked if these expenditures are really necessary. She questioned the overhead charges for the municipal garage. Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated that is a new fee the City is charging for the users of the municipal garage services. Mayor Lund explained this is not new money but is simply being segregated so it can be better identified. Ms. Reynolds asked about the Debt Services Fund, particularly the pay-off of a bond issue from 1996. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 8 Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, explained the City sold an advance refunding bond and at that time received proceeds that would refund that with the proceeds we received off of the bond issue. So it is actually not funds that the City has accumulated over the past years. Ms. Reynolds stated it appears the City grabbed at an opportunity with significant increase in capital improvements and because the State has given the opportunity to levy back 60%, the City is taking advantage of that. She then asked how Council approved the street improvement project before there was money to do it. Mayor Lund stated the funds for that project were sitting in reserves and those reserves are quickly dwindling. The Council chose to accelerate the capital improvement projects before those funds are gone. It is a very prudent decision that came about after very lengthy discussions. Dr. Burns added that some of the equipment is being purchased out of the water and sewer fund, not the general fund. Mayor Lund stated two years ago the City stopped all capital expenditures except for the street reconstruction program that was at a smaller scale than is being proposed now. But the City knew that this could not go on forever; squad cars must be replaced, the 30 year old fire truck must be replaced, and the purchase of a pot patcher is cheaper than contracting out street repair to a private contractor. He added that Council has looked at expenditures very carefully to try to minimize any impacts. As an example, the fire truck they are purchasing is a multiple use truck that will do more tasks. Ms. Reynolds asked if the 2005 budget has been put in place taking into consideration what our normal operating costs should be and have been. Mayor Lund stated the budget increase is only 1.3% compared to the 2004 budget that included a lot of cuts. Ms. Reynolds representatives properties. commented that Fridley citizens need to contact their State regarding the proposed adjustment to market value for residential Councilmember Barnette commented that the culprit in the budget increases is the State cuts to local government. Mr. Don Holum, 6575 Monroe Street N.E., questioned the $65 increase on a$200,000 home and the 12% cap that was referred to. Dr. Burns stated the impact of the levy back that the City has included as a part of this budget would cost $65 on a$200,000 home. The State has legislation in effect that FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 9 limits the increase in the market value of homes for tax purposes which has been 8.5%. This year, it was increased to 12% and for next year it has been increased to 15%. Mr. Holum stated in 2002 his property taxes were $1,120, in 2003 they were $1,583 and for 2004 his property value increased $17,000 and his taxes increased 1.7%. For 2005, his total property tax is estimated to be $1,909 on a house valued at $180,000. He believes this to be excessively high. Mayor Lund commented that even if the City had made no increases, Mr. Holum would still see a significant increase in his property taxes due to State changes. Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Pribyl if the surrounding cities in Anoka County have similar increases. Mr. Pribyl stated Fridley's rate has climbed but remains comparable to other cities. Dr. Burns commented that Fridley was the lowest in 2004. Mr. Holum suggested there be a committee created, for which he would volunteer, to study the property tax issue. Councilmember Bolkcom commented that the City belongs to the League of Minnesota Cities and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and works very closely with those organizations to lobby for City issues at the State level. Ms. Sally Himle, 1588 Woodside Court N.E., stated as a State employee she is keenly aware of the budget problems the State is facing. She questioned the 2.8% decrease in health care costs. Dr. Burns explained there has been some downward shift in the health care costs for employees and the City was very successful in getting good premiums from our insurer this year. Ms. Himle questioned if residents will see a similar increase in property taxes next year. Dr. Burns responded that this is a one-time increase and we will be back to the rate of inflation next year. Ms. Himle commented this City has been particularly good at keeping the tax rate low for many years. She asked what accounts for the lower appreciation for commercial and industrial properties. Mr. Pribyl stated that market has been very flat compared to residential sales and that is one of the requirements the mass appraisal system has to deal with. The commercial and industrial market has not seen the level of sales that the residential properties has. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 10 Dr. Burns stated in past years, retail sales in Fridley have declined which has an impact on the value of commercial property as well. Ms. Himle asked how long it will be before the very large capital improvement funds will be requested again. Mayor Lund commented that the street improvement projects make up a large portion of these expenditures and those funds are already in reserve. Councilmember Barnette commented that another factor is the Council has no idea when the State aid they can now apply for will no longer be available. Ms. Himle questioned if any of the increase will go into reserves for next year. Dr. Burns stated there is nothing going into reserves from the levy. He said the City was $1.3 million short of covering the General Fund. Pete Eisenzimmer stated every year for four years the property value of his home has been going up. This year alone the increase was 20.9%. The City should budget and live on what they have rather than raising taxes. Councilmember Billings responded to the question regarding the difference between the commercial and residential tax burden by explaining that the market tends to escalate for single family homes when the interest rate is low while commercial and industrial properties face a different base of lending. Also, as new commercial and industrial properties are built, if the economy is not growing, what tends to happen is that existing commercial and industrial property cannot compete for the higher dollar value. As far as the increases in property taxes over the past few years, he encouraged residents to look at the property tax statements for those years, particularly the line reflecting the state aid to local government. He further stated that sales taxes were created to set up a funding mechanism to reduce property taxes. The State has now decided that they are no longer going to give that money to the cities and counties to reduce property taxes, even though that was the whole reason sales taxes were created. The State is now using that money to pay for the general operation of the state. Also, if you look at the gross levy the City of Fridley sends to the County, from 1990 until 2004, that number has been much less than the total amount of inflation. This is based on the fact that the State has changed the valuation of commercial and industrial property. The legislature, by specific action, has changed the relationship between what commercial and industrial property pays and what residential property pays. Ten years ago in the City, one-third of our property valuation was commercial and industrial and they paid two- thirds of the taxes. Single family homes were two-thirds of the value but only paid one- third of the real estate taxes. The legislature is shifting that because they are changing the manner in which value is placed on commercial and industrial property for tax purposes and what single family homeowners pay for tax purposes. The goal of the legislature is to make it even across the board. So the two-thirds that commercial and industrial used to pay is now down to one-third and the one-third that residential used to FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 11 pay is now up to two-thirds. The City is holding the line on its spending and the total revenues it receives, but the State is changing where those revenues come from. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Barnette, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Billings asked if the Council can legally take action on the budget tonight. Mr. Pribyl explained this was simply the public hearing on the budget and action cannot be taken until the next meeting. 2. Special Use Permit Request, SP #04-05, bv Home Depot USA, Inc., to Amend their Existinq Special Use Permit to Allow the Expansion of their Garden Center, Generallv Located at 5650 Main Street N.E. (Ward 3). Councilmember Bolkcom referred to the frequent issues that staff has had with outdoor storage at the Home Depot location. She asked what steps Home Depot will take to ensure this does not continue to be a problem. Mr. Mark Thomas, Home Depot Store Manager, stated the reason they are expanding their garden center is to be a better neighbor for the City. He explained he met with the Regional Vice President and the District Manager to discuss the City's expectations and what needed to be done to meet them. To ensure better follow-through, a printed hand- out was prepared to be passed on to new store managers regarding what the special use permit entails. Home Depot is spending the money to expand the building which will allow them to hold the product they need. He pointed out that the assistant manager and the department manager are also present at tonight's meeting. He explained that included in the information packet for new managers is pictures of what should and should not be done, details of the special use permit, and what the City's expectations are. He added that their goal is to keep the outdoor area free of storage and pointed out that currently the property looks much cleaner than it has in the past. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Billings, to approve Special Use Permit Request, SP #04-05, for Home Depot with the following stipulations. 1. Petitioner to submit written approval from Excel Energy regarding building in their easement prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. Petitioner to keep 20-foot drive aisle along the south side of the property clear of any debris and merchandise. 3. Materials within the garden center shall not exceed the height of the fence or walls of the garden center. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 12 4.
