APPROVE AGENDA MOTION by Wilson, second by Pritzlaffto approve the Agenda. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 3. CITIZEN COMMENTS 4. COUNCIL REVIEW OF AGENDA Councilmember McKnight asked for a brief history of the Ash Street annexations and if there was neighborhood notification. Community Development Director Carroll stated certain properties were identified as being subject to annexation. The township would not oppose those annexations once the Ash Street project reached a certain point of completion. Some residents have already asked when they can connect to City services. Staff wanted to have the annexation approved prior to connecting them to City services. Staffhas discussed calling a neighborhood meeting or mailing a notice. City Engineer Mann noted these properties were identified in the orderly annexation agreement as coming into the City as part of the Ash Street project. They will not be annexed until 85% ofthe improvements were in place. The main intent was to keep the City from annexing the properties two years ahead of the project. Mayor Soderberg directed staff to notify Castle Rock Township that this item is on the agenda. Councilmember Wilson asked about the modified resolution for the Industrial Park 3rd Addition Development Contract. City Attorney Jamnik replied the developer contacted the City on Friday and indicated that John and Mary Devney do not want to be signatories to the development contract. In order to take them out of the development contract the City needs to secure the easement for 208th Street. This will be by separate document as stated in the revised resolution. The developer will record a right-of-way Council Minutes (Pre-Meeting) (August 1, 2005) Page 2 easement from the Devney's to the City for the 208th Street alignment according to the legal description. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked what the total fees are for an off-sale beer and tobacco license. Staff replied the tobacco license is $150 and the off-sale beer license is $50. Councilmember Fogarty noted this business had an issue last year at the other location. She asked if the violation is dealt with as an individual business or a company. Police Chief Siebenaler replied it would be a separate manager so the store itself would get the sanctions. Mayor Soderberg asked about the bill for an appraisal and if it was part of a court-ordered appraisal. City Attorney Jamnik stated it was part of the condemnation to evaluate the value both before and after. It is part ofthe judicial process for the condemnation. The City is required to pay for it. Mayor Soderberg noted there is still the issue on the value of the trees. City Attorney Jamnik added on Friday there was still some uncertainty as to what would be done with the trees. City Engineer Mann stated the property owner will not allow the City to go onto the property to remove the trees so they can be transplanted elsewhere. The property owner also does not want them transplanted farther onto the property. Staffhas researched trimming the trees and to do that would be very difficult especially with the location of the utilities. Two ofthe trees will have to be removed because ofthe utilities. Staff also asked the property owner to indemnify the City if the trees are trimmed that they will hold the City harmless as to what happens to the trees after that. The property owner refused to give that indemnification. The trees will be removed as two trees are in the way of the services and the remaining trees will be removed when it is time for the sidewalk construction which would be in one month. The trees cannot be spaded out unless they can go on the owner's property because of the power lines and the owner has not given his permission to enter the property. 5. STAFF COMMENTS Regarding the development contracts, two of them have minor changes regarding final engineering approval. For Riverbend and Industrial Park 3rd Addition Council has a revised resolution. There is an issue with the development contract with Vermillion River Crossings. This will be pulled during the regular meeting a) 2006 Budget Scenarios During the budget workshop staff was directed to prepare three different budget scenarios, an 8%, 10%, and 14% increase to the levy. Finance Director Roland prepared a comparison of where we are right now. Staff assumes all revenues being equal, the City would collect the same level of revenue in 2006 as in 2005 with the exceptions of the levy increases indicated on her spreadsheet. The spreadsheet shows the total levy times 8% less the additional which would be required for the debt, the amount that could go to the general fund, and what it would cover. It also shows an increase to transfers in for administrative services for enterprise funds. Staff assumed that would go up 5% across the board. Council Minutes (Pre-Meeting) (August 1,2005) Page 3 Because there are two liaison officers, the school will be billed that much more and that will be additional revenue, otherwise all revenues stay the same. The 8% level funds three items, no new positions, no capital outlay, part-time, overtime, supplies increases, etc. Staffwill be preparing the draft budget document and asked Council which scenario they wanted to see in that document and how do they want staff to deal with any items in addition or any deletions to those budgeted items. The 14% level funds a variety ofthings including additional staff, however capital outlay is above and beyond that to a certain extent. That could be funded by a transfer out of a capital equipment fund which currently has a significant fund balance and would be able to absorb the capital outlay without further bonding for 2006. Staff could also do a transfer from the private capital projects fund where additional engineering charges and administrative charges are allocated. There are other revenue options, however staff has not chosen to use them in order to stay with the idea that the property tax is the main funding mechanism. This does not address any contingency funds for 2006, the capital outlay could be identified as 2% of the 14%, but some adjustments would need to be made. Staff asked for direction on preparation of the final document. Mayor Soderberg stated this is to prepare us for the initial levy amount. Once we set it, we can decrease it but we cannot increase it. City Administrator Urbia recommended going with the 14%. Councilmember Wilson clarified 14% means that is where the levy is set. Staff replied correct, and that would capture the entire increase in the tax valuation for 2006 and the tax rate would remain the same. Councilmember McKnight asked what the additional positions are under the 14%. Staff replied there are two police positions, one an upgrade to sergeant, an accounting technician for finance which would be shared with utility billing as there will be a conversion next year, a park and rec secretary starting July 1, a mechanic/maintenance worker for public works and the fleet area. Councilmember McKnight asked ifthe capital outlay was the progression to moving away from bonds and pay as we go. Staff replied yes. The original thought was to take the 14% and split it into 12% and 2% with the 2% being a capital levy that would be identified as paying for those items and not having to bond for them and try to build up a balance over a period of time. Council reached a consensus to levy at the 14%. Councilmember Pritzlaff clarified the 10% does not include any new employees. Staff replied correct. The problem is that a 10% increase in the levy does not equate to a 10% increase in expenditures overall. Right now we are at a 9% increase to expenditures. Staff will prepare the budget document at 14%, bring it to the next Council Meeting and schedule a workshop. 6.

Since then there have been numerous donations and in-kind work. The DV AC donated $30,256 worth of art located in the Arts Park.

Mr. Dick Allendorf, 14831 Energy Way, Apple Valley stated he is the Project Manager for Vermillion River Crossings. The plat was approved by the Council subj ect to a development contract being executed. Therefore, they cannot get their loan for the project because the plat is not recorded and approved. Without the loan the construction company will not get in the field, and without getting in the field in a timely manner they would lose 6 months. He appreciated staff and the work they did in a very short amount of time to prepare the development contract. The one issue has to do with the tax abatement concept. Ehlers confirmed that but for tax abatement they could not proceed with the project. This is addressed in the development contract and says the developer shall be responsible to pay for the construction of Spruce Street from Denmark Avenue to the Town Square per the approved Spruce Street alignment. The developer cannot sign the contract this way, because they would be saying they can afford $2 million for Spruce Street which is not the case. The developer suggested supplementing this statement with the tax abatement saying the developer will pay the $2 million but they will enter into a tax abatement agreement which pays the money back. Mr. Allendorfunderstood this to be Council's intention and wanted this in the development contract. Their attorney sent some language to the City Attorney. He asked Council if they agreed with the concept and understood the problem with the development contract. Mayor Soderberg stated that was the intent at the workshop. He felt it would be advisable for the attorneys to craft some language and bring the contract back for approval. City Attorney Jamnik stated the concern is timing. He suggested having a special meeting prior to the next regular meeting on August 15,2005. The payout term of the assessments has not been determined. He still has some concerns about the risk of loss as indicated in the draft language the obligation would be maxed at $2 million for the developer. We need to reconfirm the construction estimates to make sure the construction would be less than the $2 million plus the $955,000 grant because if we exceed that cost the most we would get out of the developer would be $2 million. Mayor Soderberg stated at the workshop they indicated they would be interested in 10 years. Mr. Allendorf stated they agree with the 10 years. Councilmember McKnight noted there is still the tax abatement process to go through. City Attorney J amnik added having this language in the development contract commits the City to going through the abatement process. Council agreed to hold a Special Council Meeting on August 8,2005 at 5:00 p.m. MOTION by McKnight, second by Pritzlaffto table the Vermillion River Crossings Development Contract until August 8, 2005 at 5 :00 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS Council Minutes (Regular) August 1,2005 Page 4 9. AWARD OF CONTRACT 10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS a) June 2005 Financial Report - Finance As far as revenues, the City received an advance of the property taxes in June which brought us to almost $1.5 million in the general fund. The rest was received in July. Licenses are ahead of where they should be, however permits are less than 25% ofthe annual budget amount at 50% of the year. Fines are slightly lower, but we are a month behind on fines revenues. The total amount in the general fund is around 30% of the annual budget. This will change in July when the rest ofthe property tax revenues are reflected. Weare consistent with last year except for permits. Last year we were at 50% of annual permit revenue, which was lower than budgeted. Regarding expenditures, overall the general fund is at 46% of annual expenditures. Some departments are over budget and some are at 50%. Police expenditures reflect $44,000 worth of expense for the storm on June 24, 2005. The estimated total cost ofthe storm is $60,000. Councilmember Wilson stated regarding permits when he spoke with staff they felt the third and fourth quarters would be very strong because of various developments. He asked if we were still on track for that. Finance Director Roland felt that would be the case. Stafftalks about the number of residential permits and tag it at 350. That is the number of permits needed to get to the level of revenue in the budget. She believes we will hit our budgeted revenue. We may not build 350 new residential units, but we will hit the revenue budget for permits because of the houses that are built and the commercial retail development building permits which you will see in larger dollar amounts which come into the revenue side. Councilmember Wilson appreciated Finance Director Roland giving them this update. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if the $60,000 storm damage is in one category. Staff replied it is in emergency management. Councilmember Fogarty stated she was optimistic and felt they would get close to that number of permits. Finance Director Roland gave an overview of the 2005 budget. Savings include $11,000 because of not needing a special election, the citywide training budget has not been spent because of a number of issues in the Human Resources Department, Public Works did not need to hire summer help so that saved $16,000, and delayed hiring some positions which saved $61,000. Also the Park Keeper position and the % time Building Inspector position have not been filled and that is a savings of$88,600. Council Minutes (Regular) August 1, 2005 Page 5 The costs include things staff and Council have identified as things that will cost money this year and were not budgeted for. These include the powerline appeal amounting to $40,000, fuel costs were budgeted at $ 1. 5 O/gallon and are paying $2.25 and $2.50/gallon, which is an increase of almost a third over what is budgeted. Currently $70,000 is budgeted for 2005 fuel and anticipate spending $40,000 more than that given that gas prices do not go down. This will also be a challenge in the 2006 budget. Also included in the costs is the storm damage clean-up. There is the Dakota County Joint Dispatch cost. When the 2005 budget was prepared there was no discussion of a joint dispatch project. Since the HiPP project it has been identified there will be joint dispatch. An Executive Director will be hired for this project by the end of this year which would end up costing the City an additional $10,000 above what was budgeted for in dispatch costs. Currently the police overtime budget is on track to hit the $70,000 budgeted number. That is assuming we do the hiring and delay in staffing as discussed. If there are difficulties, additional overtime might be necessary and that is a potential offset to any savings in the police area. Building permit revenues are at only 25% of budget. Staff has reviewed their budgets and is trying to hold off on purchases not made yet or money not spent yet. Short of eliminating overtime completely, short of other personnel type of expenditure reductions, she is not certain where we would cut this budget. We cannot cut capital items as those are coming out of a bond or another fund. There is no capital in the general fund. Staffwill prepare the preliminary 2006 budget for the August 15,2005 Council meeting. Mayor Soderberg asked if Finance Director Roland had any projections on what will be a shortage in the budget. Staff could not guess. Mayor Soderberg stated the biggest concern is the permit revenue. It looks like every department is holding down costs. Councilmember Fogarty stated when the Maintenance Facility and Police Station were built, they had discussed installing our own gas pumps. For this kind of money, she thought the amount was $100,000. She felt over a couple of years and make a capital investment in 2006 they could see the money come back fairly quickly. Finance Director Roland replied staff is investigating that. This will be included as part of the CIP. The savings might take more years than expected to pay that back. Councilmember Fogarty asked if any dollars come in under budget on fire station number 2, could those bond dollars be applied to it since they would utilize it. Staffwill check with bond counsel to make sure it would be an appropriate expenditure depending on whether it was put on the project as a change order. Councilmember McKnight noted Finance Director Roland showed a savings of not hiring positions. He asked ifthose numbers are as of today. She replied those would be if we did not hire at all this year. During budget discussions staffhas agreed that both of those positions will wait until 2006. They are not considered new positions in 2006, but are currently in the budget number for 2006. He requested staff to forward this presentation to Council. Council Minutes (Regular) August 1, 2005 Page 6 b) Appointment to Cedar Avenue Transit Group -Administration The Mayor and City Administrator Urbia interviewed two candidates for the Cedar Group. Mayor Soderberg recommended appointing Mr. Jared Agerter as he is actually a user ofthe transit system. This is also in keeping with Council's goal of community involvement. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Wilson to appoint Mr. Jared Agerter to the Cedar Group. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. c) Cataract Fire Relief Association 2006 Pension Request - Administration City Administrator Urbia stated the required contribution is not near what the City is doing. The City is contributing $60,000 and the state requires $435. Staffis recommending the City contribution stay stable at $60,000. In the past there was a plan that the City contribution increases $5,000 every three years. The Relief Association requested an increase per service year pension benefit level. Currently that level is at $3,200. They requested to go up to $3,500 and the City contribution would be at $65,000. If Council wanted to review this further, this item could be tabled to the August 15,2005 meeting. Mr. Bill Sauber, 5330 193rd Street, President of the Cataract Relief Association, stated their purpose is to manage, maintain and grow the pension for the Fire Department. The reason they asked for more money this year is because they have taken a deficit in the amount of contribution from the City per member. They went five years with less than a 1 % benefit increase. When the program was set at a $5,000 increase every three years they were at 36 members. Presently they are at 44 members. Ifthey stay at $60,000 next year with 44 members that would be a 21 % decrease over the original program that was set up. They would like a benefit increase to $3,500 for next year. In turn ifthey are adding four new members next year, that puts them at even less money per member from the City contribution to the pension fund. Mayor Soderberg asked him to explain the 21 %. Mr. Sauber stated they set up the $5,000 increase every three years in 1996. It amounted to a 3% increase every year with the increase coming every three years. Ifthey were currently at 36 members they would be at $1667 per member per contribution. By going to 48 members and only $60,000 next year we will be at $1250 per member from the City's contribution. Mayor Soderberg stated the table shows the pension fund is funded at 93% versus 86% overall. Mr. Sauber thought at the end oflast year they were in the low 80's. Mayor Soderberg stated the table shows 86.2% funded and projections for 2005 are increased to 93.6% funded. Mr. Sauber stated at one point they were underfunded and their goal is to be 95%-100% funded. In 1999 they were 105% funded. Mayor Soderberg noted 1997-1999 it was over 100% funded. Councilmember Fogarty asked about the benefits and asked ifit was an annual benefit per year. City Administrator Urbia replied that is correct. Ifthey serve 20 years, multiply that by $3,200 and that would determine the lump sum contribution. After 20 years they are 100% vested. He stated if they can stay Council Minutes (Regular) August 1,2005 Page 7 around 100% that is ideal. You do not want to be over that for too long. The City's goal is 90%-100%. Councilmember Fogarty stated she understood this better a week ago than she does now. She cannot make a decision tonight. She would like to meet with Finance Director Roland. Councilmember McKnight stated we set the benefit level per year and if we increased it to $3500 next year without increasing our contribution, the percentage of funding would go down. City Administrator Urbia replied it would go down from 93.6% to 93.1 %. These are projections assuming a level of investment earnings and state contribution. Councilmember McKnight clarified the table assumes a $3500 figure for 2006. Staff replied that is correct. Councilmember McKnight stated the question is a) the City contribution level and b) the benefit level. Councilmember Wilson stated he had a sense of what they were looking for and wanted to take a serious look at this. At the same time we also received the budget information tonight and we know we are nearing the end of our 2006 budget planning cycle so taking some extra time is important. There was a legislative discussion relative to the level of pension funding that would be authorized by the state. He asked if the estimated 2005 and 2006 amounts are different than what is identified based on legislative action. City Administrator Urbia will have to review that bill. Councilmember Wilson stated he would like to have that information and would like these same tables for 2004. He agreed to table this to August 15,2005. Councilmember Pritzlaff agreed with getting more information. Mayor Soderberg stated he would support the $60,000 funding for 2006. Without knowing how the investments are doing and the state contribution, and with the budget cycle in process, this is an ill-timed request. As the majority of the Council wants more information it is advisable to continue this item to August 15, 2005. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Wilson to continue this item to the August 15,2005 Council meeting. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12. NEW BUSINESS 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Councilmember Fogarty: She noted there were 81 pages of minutes in the packet and thanked Executive Assistant Muller for her hard work. Council Minutes (Regular) August 1, 2005 Page 8 Councilmember Wilson: He also acknowledged the amount of minutes that were done. He acknowledged the Mom's Club for their donation to Parks and Rec. Councilmember Pritzlaf/: There is a Cedar Group meeting on Wednesday and asked if staff would be contacting Mr. Agerter to attend that meeting. Mayor Soderberg stated Mr. Agerter did indicate he would be able to attend the meeting and City Administrator Urbia will contact him. City Administrator Urbia: The Cedar Group meeting is Wednesday at 3 :30 in Apple Valley at the Dakota County Western Service Center. He will contact Mr. Agerter regarding his appointment. The leadership breakfast with the school is scheduled for every first Friday. Mayor Soderberg and Councilmember McKnight will attend. At the next meeting, staff will present the final draft of the Joint Powers Agreement for the Joint Dispatch component. Dakota County staff would like to give a transit update and he suggested doing this the first or third Monday in September, instead of doing the pre- meeting and start at 6:00 p.m. It was decided to do this prior to the September 19 Council meeting at 6:00 p.m. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked ifthe Cedar Group meeting was at the Western Service Center or at the Apple Valley City Hall. City Administrator Urbia will confirm the location of the meeting. Police Chief Siebenaler: Reminded everyone that August 2 is National Night Out. There will be 21 neighborhood block parties. This started as a crime prevention celebration. It has turned into a way for neighbors to get to know each other and to discuss issues in their neighborhood. EconoFoods will be holding a block party in their parking lot. Mayor Soderberg will be participating and from there they will be going to various block parties around town. Mayor Soderberg: EconoFoods and the businesses in City Center are hosting a National Night Out party. He will be in the dunk tank. Proceeds will go to the cub scouts. There will also be a child identification program and a clogging presentation. He received a call regarding the Executive Estates park issue. The developer wants to get started, but Park and Rec had a concern with making sure they get the same amount of land nearby if not now in the future rather than cash in lieu. The golf course area to the east was identified. City Attorney Jamnik stated a contract could be drafted that would be close to that solution. Councilmember Fogarty stated her biggest concern is they have land in that area for a park that families can get to without crossing hwy 50. Councilmember McKnight stated he was willing to gamble to get the bigger park to the east. He would be comfortable with a contract for this. Councilmember Wilson stated there are discussions with the school regarding the area nearby and his thoughts remain the same as last week. Councilmember Pritzlaffwould agree to get the same amount of land. Mayor Soderberg asked when this would be brought forward again. City Administrator Urbia stated it will be discussed tomorrow at the Development Committee meeting to determine how soon these issues can be resolved. He will advise Council after the meeting. Councilmember Wilson recalled in addition to the park, they were talking about trails and how it related to other developments. He hoped staff would work to provide some clarity on all components such as park, trails, and the adjacent business Council Minutes (Regular) August 1,2005 Page 9 park. Councilmember Pritzlaff asked ifthere was a small issue, would they still have to wait until the first meeting in September. City Engineer Mann replied ifthere is an item that can be resolved and will not affect the plat, then they do not hold up the plat from coming to Council. The issues that could change lot lines, and that could change the plat need to be resolved before the plat is brought to Council. Mr. Randy Oswald, Park and Rec Commission Chair stated this will be discussed at their meeting on August 10,2005. 14.
