MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:05 P.M.
Dan Tienter, Finance Director, said near-term economic growth for the State of Minnesota and
the region continues to remain stable. The State continues to predict slower economic growth
beginning in 2022. Following the conclusion of the 2019 Legislative Session, the State adopted a
structurally imbalanced budget. The Federal Reserve recently lowered the Federal Funds Rate
target by another 25 basis points to a range of 1.5% to 1.75%. Continuing trade disputes with
major international trading partners creates uncertainty in long-term economic forecasts. Brexit
may impact global economic growth.
Mr. Tienter said the budget reflects conservative revenue and expenditures assumptions,
including a single salary step increase for eligible employees. Reallocation of current resources
based on need and actuals history budget adjust to better reflect actual expenditures and limited
adjustments to external revenues. The budget is consistent with the City Charter and previously
approved City Council actions and guidance. It supports a current complement of Full-Time
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 3
Equivalent (FTE) employees. The proposed 2020 General Fund Budget will be structurally
balanced but proposes a use of fund balance. The preliminary projections for the proposed 2020
budget do not include any adjustments to salary and wage disparities between union and non-union
staff, additional wages and fringe benefits subject to expiring Collective Bargaining Agreements,
expenditures or revenues associated with the pending Park System Master Plan, and Streets Capital
Investment Program (CIP) transfers.
Mr. Tienter said property tax revenue is based on previous City Council guidance. The proposed
2020 budget assumes a $674,192 increase in the General Fund Property Tax Levy, or 5.72%.
Intergovernmental is based on the recent Local Government Aid certification. The City will
receive an increase of approximately $269,600 in 2020. Given the claims experience of the City
and performance of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, insurance reimbursements
are anticipated to decrease about $23,400, the City continues to no longer use the “Closed Bond”
Fund to support City operations.
Mr. Tienter stated that personnel services is approximately 77.1% of the General Fund
Expenditure Budget, estimated to increase approximately $465,200 or 3.5% in 2020. Supplies are
anticipated to remain relatively stable in 2020. Other Services and Charges – utility services and
miscellaneous charges are anticipated to decrease out $168,700 or 15.0% to reflect cost savings in
Fridley Civic Campus operations. An increase of about 2.0%, of approximately $82,000, across
all non-personnel expenditures, based on the March 2019 CIP, Midwest and other factors.
Mr. Tienter said that the Proposed Capital Investment Plan (CIP) consists of a collection of
Capital Project Funds designed to coordinate the financing of capital equipment, improvements
and other projects. The City currently maintains six Capital Project Funds:
1. Building Improvement Fund – Increased use of Local Government Aid to reflect allocation
from the General Fund.
2. Street Improvement – no increase in the “Gas Tax” in 2019 and 2020, presently considering
fund alternatives and strategies to address projected, negative fund balance beginning in
2022.
3. Parks Improvements – no significant changes currently; still including $3,000,000 annually
for “provisional” projects.
4. Informational Technology – assumes a 5% increase in the IT Capital Project Property Tax
Levy in 2020; and 2.5% annually through 2024.
5. Capital Equipment – annual expenditure target adjusted to $963,000 annually. Inclusion of
a capital grant of approximately $193,000 from Federal Emergency Management Agency
to support the replacement of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses
6. Community Investment – planned repayment of the 2019A interfund loan beginning in
2020 and transferred approximately $2,333,000 from the General Fund per City policy.
Mr. Tienter said Special Revenue Funds are designed to account for the activities of special
revenue sources and are legally restricted for specific purposes. They may support both capital
and operating expenditures. The City currently maintains four Special Revenue Funds.
1. Cable Television Fund – Based on recent Federal communication commission rulemaking,
staff anticipate a decrease of $29,300 or 10% in franchise fee revenues beginning in 2020.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 4
2. Solid Waste Abatement Fund – Select Committee on Recycling and the Environment Grant
Funds remain flat for 2020. The recycling services contract currently comprises about
84.3% of the expenditure budget, which increased about 14% for 2020. Based on these
factors, staff anticipate an increase in the quarterly residential fee to $9.83 in 2020 or an
increase of 9%.
3. Police Activity Fund – The proposed budget continues the administration of the Public
Safety Data System; the City receives a reimbursement form Anoka County for these
activities. The City also administers the countywide Toward Zero Death Grant through
2021.
4. Springbrook Nature Center Fund – The proposed 2020 budget assumes a 5% increase or
$19,610 in the property tax levy for the Springbrook Nature Center. No significant changes
in other ongoing funding or revenue sources.
Mr. Tienter stated that the City currently maintains four Enterprise Funds:
1. Water Utility Fund – repayment of a Community Investment Fund Interfund Loan
beginning in 2020 and retiring of the 2004A General Obligation Utility Revenue Bonds in
2019. Staff recommend an increase in the Quarterly fixed charge to $21 or 5% for
residential and commercial/industrial users and $58 or 5.5% for commercial/industrial.
Also, a volume rate of about 3% across all user classes.
2. Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund – Metropolitan Council Environmental Services charges
comprise about 76% of the total fund expenditures, which increased about 1.9% for 2020.
Staff anticipate an increase in the quarterly fixed charge to $51 or 2% for residential and
$102 or 2% for multi-family users three units or less and $23 or 10% for multi-family users
four units or more and commercial/industrial users. Volume rate will increase to $6.13 or
by 3%.
3. Storm Water Utility Fund – The City plans to spend about $4,528,000 on storm water
system improvements over the next five years. Staff anticipate an increase in the quarterly
storm water utility fee to increase to $29.57 per acre in 2020 or an increase of 3%. The
residential equivalency factor would change to $9.85 in 2020.
4. Municipal Liquor – This fund will continue to transfer $388,500 to the Parks Improvement
Fund and Capital Equipment fund and $51,250 to the General Fund as an administrative
charge. The profitability of the liquor store may be negatively impacted by additional
competition soon.
Mr. Tienter said that based on current expenditure and revenue assumptions, a balanced budget
would result in a 5.72% increase in the property tax levy. At present, the proposed 2020 budget
assumes a use of fund balance to support supplemental road repairs. Due to a decrease in the Debt
Service Property Tax Levy, the “overall levy” change will be less than the change in the General
Fund property tax levy.
Mr. Tienter said that the total change in the General Fund property tax levy would be $673,192
or 5.72%. Between 2019 and 2020, the average home value increased about 7%. Assuming the
proposed property tax levy change of 3.97%, a property owner with a $212,000 homestead would
pay about $5.33 more per month. Based on the process, staff recommend the City Council open
the Truth-in-Taxation public hearing and accept public comments regarding the proposed 2020
budget and take no official action regarding the Proposed 2020 Budget, Proposed 2020-2024
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 5
Capital Investment Program, Proposed 2020 Property Tax Levy or Revised 2019 budget until the
Council meeting on December 23, 2019.
Mr. Tienter said in order to improve the use and readability of the 2020 budget, staff began
modifying the format of the document to include more information about department and division
goals and objectives. For the final 2020 budget, staff anticipate changes in the additional
information about department and division modifications, more useful performance measurement
data and additional budget information and financial analysis. Staff plan to revise the budget
document to allow the City to apply for the distinguished budget presentation award through the
Government Finance Officers Association.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember
Tillberry.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:34 P.M.
NEW BUSINESS:
8. Resolution Providing for the Issuance and the Sale of $10,000,000 General Obligation
Tax Increment Bonds, Series 2019A, and Pledging for the Security Thereof Tax
Increments;
and
Resolution Providing for the Issuance and the Sale of $5,145,000 General Obligation Tax
Increment Bonds, Series 2020A, and Pledging for the Security Thereof Tax Increments.
Dan Tienter, Finance Director, stated in 2019, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA)
created a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to support the eligible costs associated with the
redevelopment of the area known as Northern Stacks (Project). In 2013, the HRA executed a
development agreement with Hyde Development, Inc. (Developer) to complete the planned
Project. As part of the financing plan, the HRA through a limited revenue tax increment note,
pledged 90% of the tax increment generated by the TIF District to the Developer, which used it as
collateral for loans to support site improvement costs. In total, the TIF Plan authorized such
expenditures for up to $15,775,000. The HRA began payment on the Note on August 1, 2016.
Mr. Tienter said since the inception of the Project, the HRA and Developer contemplated the
issuance of bonds by the HRA and/or City to refinance the Note. In effect, the proceeds of the
bond would pay off the Note in a lump sum, as opposed to payments over a series of years. The
HRA and/or City would then use the tax increment that would have otherwise been used for the
Note to support the ongoing debt service.
Mr. Tienter stated on November 12, 2019, the City Council authorized the sale of two, 15-year,
tax-exempt, general obligation bonds issued by the City: 1) $10,000,000 (Series 2019A); and 2)
$5,215,000 (Series 2020A). The bank-qualified bonds would allow the HRA to secure lower
interest rate thereby saving approximately $1,487,000 compared to the Note. On December 5,
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 6
2019, the HRA pledged the tax increment revenue to the repayment of the bonds. As part of the
bond sale process, the City secured a credit rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., which
confirmed a credit rating of Aa2.
Mr. Tienter said based on the process to date, staff recommend the City Council adopt the attached
resolutions for the issuance and sale of $9,510,000 (Series 2019A) and $4,450,000 (Series 2020A)
General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds and pledging for the security thereof tax increments.
The overall amount of the bond issues has been reduced to reflect the nearly $1,125,000 premium
offered in the winning bids from the underwriters.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she had not seen the resolution.
Mr. Tienter replied that the resolutions in the packet were blank. The numbers in the resolutions
reflect the bid prices in the presentation.

9. On-Street Parking Code Review and Recommendations:
A. Motion to Receive the Minutes from the Planning Commission Meeting of
November 20, 2019.
B. Motion to Concur with the Planning Commission to Leave the Existing On-Street
Parking Language as it is; and
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 7
C. Motion to Deny the Planning Commission’s Request to Seek Further Expansion
of the Recreational Vehicle Parking Privileges.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the Planning Commission reviewed the
current code requirements for on-street parking at their November 20, 2019 meeting. Prior to the
Commission discussing the topic, they heard from several members of the public. Two of the
speakers would like to see changes made to the existing language that allows motor homes and
travels trailers to be parked on a public street for loading and unloading purposes. Nine people
spoke in favor of keeping the existing language as it is. There was also some discussion from
some speakers about adding a 3-5-day on-street parking pass for recreational vehicles for when
Fridley residents have friends and family visiting from out of town.
Mr. Hickok said after receiving public comment and discussing the topic, most of the Commission
members felt the ordinance is acceptable and should remain as it was. They also suggested that
Council investigate allowing a 3-day on-street parking pass for recreational vehicles for when
residents have friends and family visiting from out of town.
Mr. Hickok said the Planning Commission’s recommendation passed on a 6 to 1 vote. Staff
recommends the following:
1. Council receive the minutes from the November 20, 2019, Planning Commission
meeting;
2. Council make a motion of concurrence with the Planning Commission to leave the
existing on-street parking language as it is; and,
3. Council deny the Planning Commission’s request to seek further expansion of the
recreational vehicle parking privileges. Overall, this has not been a relevant enough
issue to recommend an ordinance amendment at this time.
Mr. Hickok presented the results of research conducted by the Public Safety Department. Cities
that have a year-round on-street parking ordinance (no overnight parking): Coon Rapids, Mounds
View, New Brighton, Ramsey, Maplewood, Robbinsdale. Cities that have a winter on-street
parking ordinance: Arden Hills, Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park, Lino Lakes, Blaine, Cottage
Grove, Little Canada, Vadnais Heights, Fridley. Cities that have relaxed on-street parking
ordinances: Osseo, Roseville, Hopkins, Elk River. All cities have a snow removal provision in
their parking ordinance. Fridley falls in the middle with having a winter parking on-street
ordinance.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she thought a 3-day pass could be problematic.
Mr. Hickok said the reason staff is recommended that this not be considered at this time is because
the situation with on-street parking could run into a camping type situation and would get to be an
administrative issue for staff. At this time staff is not seeing or hearing a demand and recommends
to not go there.

Councilmember Bolkcom said she appreciated the time staff spent going over what other cities
have.

10. Approve Transit Oriented Development Master Plan, TOD #19-01, by in Gauge
Engineering & Technology, Inc., to Allow the Construction of a Second Multi-Family
th
Building, Generally Located at 105 – 58 Avenue N.E.;
and
Resolution Approving a Transit Oriented Development Master Plan, TOD #19-01, by In
Gauge Engineering and Technology, Inc., on Behalf of the Property Owner, K & C
Property Management, LLC, to Allow the Construction of a Second Apartment Building
th
Generally Located at 105 – 58 Avenue N.E. (Ward 3)
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the petitioner is requesting a Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) Master Plan to allow the construction of a second multi-family
th
building along the southern property line of the property located at 105 58 Avenue. The property
is zoned S-1, Hyde Park Neighborhood. It is also located in the TOD Overlay District that was
adopted in 2011. New landscaping, storm water treatment through rain gardens, and the exterior
of the existing building and garage will be remodeled to match the new building.
Mr. Hickok said the Planning Commission held a public hearing for TOD #19-01 at their
November 20, 2019, meeting. Many of the commission members had concerns about the one-foot
thth
setback along 58 Avenue and how the building was going to fit in the space between 58 Avenue
and the existing building. There was also concerns related to marking sure there were enough
parking stalls. Since the meeting, the petitioner was able to add 2 additional parking stalls for a
total of 26 stalls and 10 bicycle parking spots.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 9
Mr. Hickok said the petitioner articulated at the Planning Commission meeting that each
apartment will be assigned (1) parking stall and the rest of the stalls will be for guests. There will
be 16 apartments and 10 stalls for visitors. The petitioner also stated that currently only 5 residents
in the existing building have cars and they are interested in encouraging transit options and less
reliance on a car. He understood that the building owner and management company will be in in
charge of enforcing the parking requirements, so on-street parking does not become an issue. After
further discussion, members of the Planning Commission expressed that this project was meeting
the intent of the TOD district. Although it may be the first project in the Hyde Park Neighborhood,
the petitioner has met the conditions to allow for the development. Commissioner McClellan
motioned to approve TOD, #19-01 with the stipulations suggested by staff and Commissioner
Evanson seconded the motion. The motion passed on a 5 to 2 vote.
Mr. Hickok stated that City staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission and
approval of TOD Master Plan, TOD #19-01, with six stipulations.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how many 1-bedroom apartments there would be.
Mr. Hickok said that the majority would be 1-bedroom apartments.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if staff felt comfortable residents would only have one car.
Would residents sign a lease indicating they can only have one car, or can they park in visitor spots
if they have two cars? This could spill out into the neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok replied the petitioners have been very thoughtful and feel confident they will manage
the parking.
Clay Dutra, In Gauge Engineering & Technology, Inc., said they are trying to get the building to
fit on this site. They propose to remodel the exterior of the old building to match new building.
Nine apartments will be built. Six apartments have two bedrooms and three have one bedroom. .
All units will have their own laundry. Each tenant will have one parking space per unit. The TOD
only requires ½ stall per unit. Currently out of the 8 units, only 5 people have cars, others use
Uber, Lyft or public transportation.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the two-bedroom units would sign a lease that they only get
one parking spot.
Mr. Dutra replied that it would be on the lease that they allow for one car and have an assigned
space. The 10 extras parking spots are for visitors only. These units are smaller for a couple with
one child. As a family grows, they will be searching for a bigger space. They are seeking small
families with one car.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked where people would park if there was a special event like a
birthday party.
Mr. Dutra replied that there are 10 extra stalls, and hopefully, that would accommodate a party.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 9, 2019 PAGE 10
Councilmember Bolkcom said that people who live in buildings need to have adequate parking.
It is the expectation that people who rent and live there will keep their cars on your property.
Mr. Dutra said that the parking rules will be enforced.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what improvements will be made to the existing building.
Mr. Dutra replied the existing building is 30 years old, the stucco is cracked and there is some
vinyl siding on parts of it. The idea is to remodel the exterior to match the materials of the new
building, including the garage that has vinyl siding.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be improvements to the interior of the old
building.
Mr. Dutra replied that would be Phase 2.
Councilmember Eggert recalled that these units would be affordable.
Mr. Dutra replied that the existing rent is $950 – $1,050. The new rent would stay in that range.
The 2-bedroom would be $1,200 max.
Mayor Lund said there have been issues with parking in the past and he is uncomfortable with
the parking proposal. If people sign a lease for one car but over time get another car, where will
they park?
Mr. Dutra agreed they are concerned about that. This would be enforced through the contract or
lease. The concern is valid, but he said they are committed to enforce the one car per tenant rule.
Mr. Hickok added that they would need to comply with the TOD code requirements and abide by
the stipulations.
Mr. Dutra said the parking spaces allow for one car per unit plus 10 extra parking spots and that
is all that can fit on the site. The TOD district is trying to make that area more dense and with
density there will be problems with parking. He said they plan to try to select tenants that do not
need cars and will use other means of transportation. This is the means of this TOD, to use public
transportation more.
Mayor Lund agreed that we need to make this a more walkable and bikeable community. The
transition will take place over time.
Councilmember Bolkcom said that this will be enforced through the lease and the caretaker is
committed to make this work, one car per tenant.
Mr. Dutra said that this is the first one to be built in the TOD and it will be enforced.
Councilmember Eggert asked if the garage is included in the rent.
