7. 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.

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

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.

Submitted By:Korrie Johnson, Acting Finance Director
Title
Resolution No. 2021-119, Repealing Resolution No. 2021-115 in its Entirety and Cancelling an Interfund
rd
Loanin the Amount of $840,000for the 53Avenue Lift Station Improvement Project
Background
On February 25, 2019 the Fridley City Council (Council) authorized the creation of a Community
Investment Fund (CIF) to support capital costs associated with the parks and public utilities maintained
by the City. 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.

Community Investment Fund No. 450 (CI Fund) to support capital costs associated with the parks
and public utilities maintained by the City, effective December 31, 2018; and
Whereas, Section 7.10 of the Fridley City Charter requires the Council to adopt a resolution
stipulating the structure and terms of any interfund loan; and
Whereas, on May 26, 2020 the Council adopted Resolution No. 2020-23, which approved an
Interfund Loan (Loan) from the CI Fund to the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund No. 602 (Utility Fund)
to support the design, engineering, construction, utility extensions and other reasonable expenses

related to the 53 Avenue Lift Station Improvement Project, Project No. 20519; and

Title
Resolution No. 2021-120, AwardingSanitary Sewer Collection System LiningProject No. 22-450
Background
On Thursday, December 2 at 9:00 a.m., bids were publicly opened online via the virtual platform available
on QuestCDN and Microsoft Teams for the Sanitary Sewer Collection System LiningProject No. 22-450.
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.

Title
Resolution No. 2021-123, Awarding Contract for the Farr Lake Danube Pond Dredging Project No.603-
60-20-472
Background
On Wednesday, November 19 at 1:00 p.m., bids were publicly opened online via the virtual platform
available on QuestCDNand Microsoft Teams for the Farr Lake Danube Pond Dredging Project No.603-
60-20-472. 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.
Financial Impact
The work will be funded through the City of Fridley Capital Investment Program for 2022, and the
Stormwater Fund.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendlyand stable home for families and businesses.

Resolution No. 2021-125, Accepting First Installment of American Rescue Plan Coronavirus Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds and Accepting Redistribution of Unrequested Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds
Background
On March 11, 2021, the Federal Government enacted the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021to
respond to the economic and health effects of the NovelCoronavirus Disease2019 (COVID19)
pandemic. In total, APRA appropriated $1.9 trillion for various programs, including$350 billion in aid
to government agencies. Based on population formulas, the City of Fridley (City) will receive
approximately $3,040,000 between 2021 and 2022. The City received the first installment of $1,472,232
in July, 2021.
After the October 11, 2021 application deadline to the Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB),
the MMB announced nearly $12 million remained unclaimed. As allowed by the United States Treasury,

Resolution No. 2021-125
Accepting First Installment of American Rescue Plan Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds and Accepting Redistribution of Unrequested Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds
Whereas, Congress adopted the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in March 2021, which included
$65 billion in recovery funds for cities across the country; and
Whereas, ARPA funds are intended to provide support to state, local, and tribal governments in
responding to the impact of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain COVID-19 in their
communities, residents, and businesses; and
Whereas, The Fiscal Recovery Fund provides for $19.5 billion in payments to be made to States
and territories which will distribute the funds to non-entitlement units of local government (NEUs);
and
Whereas, NEUs generally have populations below 50,000; and
Whereas, the ARPA requires that States and territories allocate funding to NEUs in an amount
that bears the same proportion as the population of the NEU to the total population of all NEUs
in the State; and
Whereas, on July 30, 2021 the City of Fridley (City) received $1,472,232 for its share of the Fiscal
Recovery Fund;
Whereas, after the deadline of October 11, 2021 passed for NEUs to request ARPA funds, nearly
$12 million of available funds for ; and
Whereas, as allowed by the United States Treasury, the State of Minnesota has redistributed these
remaining funds amongst eligible local governments who requested ARPA funds; and
Whereas, $48,212 has been allocated to the City pursuant to the ARPA redistribution; and
Whereas, the redistribution will be distributed in two deposits, with half received in 2021 and the
second half in 2022.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City accepts the first installment of American Rescue Plan
Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in the amount of $1,472,232 established under the ARPA
to be used in a manner consistent with guidance adopted by the United State Department of
Treasury.
Be it further resolved that the City accepts the first installment of redistributed coronavirus local
fiscal recovery fund established under the ARPA in the amount of $48,212 to be used in a manner

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date:December 13, 2021 Meeting Type:City Council
Submitted By:Korrie Johnson, Acting Finance Director
Title
Resolution No. 2021-126, Accepting and Confirming Statutory Tort Limits
Background
The City of Fridley (City) obtains liability, property and casualty insurance through the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT), including its tort liability insurance, or insurance for claims
arising from acts or omissions by the city resulting in harm and that create a civil liability. 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.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.

Resolution No. 2021-126
Accepting and Confirming Statutory Tort Limits
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) maintains its insurance coverage through the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust; and
Whereas, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust requires the City Council to provide
direction regarding statutory tort limitations for the City; and
Whereas, under Minnesota Statute Section 466.04, if a City chooses to insure itself for an
amount in excess of the statutory limits provided by state law, it will be deemed to have waived
the protection of those statutory limits to the extent of any increase in the insured coverage
amount; and
Whereas, the current statutory limits are a maximum of $500,000 per claimant, and $1,500,000
per occurrence; and
Whereas, the City finds no reasonable basis to extend liability coverage beyond those amounts
provided for under Minnesota Statute Section 466.04; and
Whereas, the City finds it to be in the best interest to be insured to the full extent of liability
imposed by law, but not beyond those statutory limits.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby confirms and
accepts up to and only to the extent of the statutory tort liability limits as provided under
Minnesota Statute Section 466.04; and
Be it further resolved that the City Council authorizes the City Manager, or their designee, to
submit the Liability Coverage Wavier Form to the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.

LIABILITY COVERAGE Î WAIVER FORM
Members who obtain liability coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust
(LMCIT) must complete and return this form to LMCIT before the memberÓs effective date of
coverage. Return completed form to your underwriter or email to pstech@lmc.org.
The decision to waive or not waive the statutory tort limits must be made annually by the
memberÓs governing body, in consultation with its attorney if necessary.
Members who obtain liability coverage from LMCIT must decide whether to waive the statutory tort
liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased. The decision has the following effects:
If the member does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant could recover no more
than $500,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total all claimants could
recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be limited to $1,500,000.
These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether the member purchases the optional
LMCIT excess liability coverage.
If the member waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could recover up to $2,000,000 for a single occurrence (under the waive option, the tort cap
liability limits are only waived to the extent of the memberÓs liability coverage limits, and the LMCIT
per occurrence limit is $2,000,000). The total all claimants could recover for a single occurrence to
which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to $2,000,000, regardless of the number of
claimants.
If the member waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single claimant
could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The total all claimants
could recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would also be limited to
the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.

Title
Truth-in-Taxation Public Hearing, Proposed 2022 Budget andProperty Tax Levy
Background
Pursuant toMinnesota Statute §275.065, all home rule and statutory cities must certify a Proposed
Property Tax Levy (Proposed Levy) to their respective county auditor on or before September 30 of
each year. 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

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. After

both items at their meeting on December 20, 2021.

Rehabilitation Project No. ST2021-01
Background
The attached resolution directs preparation of final plans and specifications and authorizes the
advertisement for bids for the 2021 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2021-01.
Investment Plan includesrehabilitation of the Lakeview neighborhood. The total project length is
approximately 1.7miles. The area is completely residential properties. The streets and underground
utilities in the area were originally constructed in from mid-1960s through the 1970s. These streets were
last seal coated in 2005.
Rehabilitation of the streets will include asphalt reclaiming, asphalt paving, concrete curb repairs, and
miscellaneous utility repairs. Only severelydamaged or settled concrete curbs will be replaced in the
project. Thepavement in this project will be replaced by reclamation of the top eightto 12 inches of the
roadway pavement and reusing that material as the new base for the new pavement.
Water main improvements will include replacing segments of six inchwatermain and existing valves
within the project area will either be replaced, or repaired, and onefire hydrant will be replaced with the
project. Staff has identified the segment of Marigold Terrace between Monroe Street to West Moore
Lake Drivewhere watermain needs to be replaced. The watermain work will include replacement of the
main and a portion of the services.
Sanitary sewer and storm sewer work will include minor work for manhole and inlet adjustments,
Castings will be either replaced or reset as a part of the paving. The structures are generally in good
condition in the project area and are not expected to require any additional work with the project.
Costs for this project will be paid using Minnesota State Aid System funding, and special assessments
for the street rehabilitation. Water, sanitary sewer, and storm water costs are funded by their respective
utilities. A Public Hearing on special assessments for this project is scheduled to be held at the December
13, 2021, City Council meeting. Comments received at the public hearing will be considered and used in
the preparation of the final plans for the project.
Staff requests consideration including input and information received at the hearing on improvements.
