Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 2) Title: City Manager 2017 Performance Evaluation Page 2 Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: November 13, 2017 Discussion Item: 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: 2018 Budget Update RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action required. This report is to update the Council with 2018 budget and levy information in preparation for the December 4 budget hearing. POLICY CONSIDERATION: •Does the City Council desire to set the 2018 Final Property Tax Levy at $31,748,368, which is an increase of approximately 4.90% over the 2017 Final Property Tax Levy? •Is there other information that Council would like to review in more detail before the budget hearing? SUMMARY: In September, Council approved a Preliminary Property Tax Levy which was 5.35% higher than the final 2017 levy. Subsequently, staff worked to incorporate revenue adjustments and expenditure assumptions where appropriate which resulted in bringing the necessary levy adjustment down to approximately 4.90%. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The proposed tax levy will help support necessary city services to be provided during 2018. VISION CONSIDERATION: All Vision areas are taken into consideration. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion 2018 Residential Est. City Share of Prop. Taxes-4.90% Prepared by: Tim Simon, Chief Financial Officer Reviewed by: Nancy Deno, Deputy City Manager/HR Director Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 3) Page 2 Title: 2018 Budget Update DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: On September 18th, the City Council adopted the 2017 Preliminary Property Tax Levy of $31,884,702, which was approximately 5.35% over the 2017 Final Property Tax Levy. Through continued work and fine tuning of the proposed budget, staff has been able to make adjustments resulting in the necessary levy increase being reduced to 4.9%, without impacting the budget policy directives of the Council. Updated information on the 2018 recommended budget: Since September 18th, staff has reviewed a number of revenue and expenditure adjustments to ensure that estimates and assumptions are still reasonable for 2018. Some of the significant items in reducing the preliminary levy are: 1) Council Programs line item – The Council directed that $198,000 be set aside once again in 2018, and the proposed budget does include that amount. However, because approximately $100,000 remains unspent in the General Fund reserves from previous years allocations, staff proposes to use that amount for 2018 plus an additional $98,000 which is included in the General Fund levy line item noted below. In the budget we have also created a budget line item titled Council Programs. 2) Revenues – Our Police State Aid amount has been trending upward and we will increase the revenue line item $40,000 to match historical actuals. 3) Other items – We identified some one-time 2018 items in the budget we could purchase at 2017 year; in addition we adjusted the timing of the recruitment processes for new positions which provided for savings. The proposed breakdown of the 4.90% Proposed Property Tax Levy by fund is shown below: 2017 2018 $ Change % Change Final Levy Proposed 2017 to 2018 2017 to 2018 TAX CAPACITY BASED TAX LEVY General Fund 24,748,436$ 25,705,886$ 957,450$ 3.87% Park Improvement Fund 810,000 810,000 - 0.00% Capital Replacement Fund 1,767,700 1,767,700 - 0.00% Debt Service-current 2,139,937 3,164,782 1,024,845 47.89% Debt Service-future 300,000 - (300,000) -100.00% Employee Benefit Fund 200,000 200,000 - 0.00% Housing Rehabilitation Fund 100,000 100,000 - 0.00% Council Programs (1)198,000 - (198,000) -100.00% TAX CAPACITY BASED TAX LEVIES 30,264,073$ 31,748,368$ 1,484,295$ 4.90% (1)= Move to the General Fund as an ongoing operating budget line item. Council contingency – council programs ($198,000). ADDITIONAL TAX LEVY INFORMATION By law, the City Council approved 2018 preliminary property tax levies back in September and those preliminary levies have been sent to Hennepin County for certification. Hennepin County will mail out parcel specific notices to taxpayers in mid-November. Final action on the 2018 Budget, 2018 Final City Property Tax Levy, Final 2018 HRA Levy, and 2018 – 2027 CIP will not occur until December. Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 3) Page 3 Title: 2018 Budget Update OTHER RELATED ITEMS (CIP Items) •The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has been adjusted to add the Fastpitch Softball fields at Aquila Park to the 2018 project list. Funding estimates are $800,000 park improvement fund and $400,000 with our 2018 G.O. bonds. Amounts would be adjusted if any grants are received. •The timing of the 911 Server system and software replacement is requested to move up to 2018 from 2019 due to the age of the equipment. We have sufficient E-911 funds to cover changing from 2019 to 2018 ($150,000). Estimated City Impacts for 2018 Tax Levy Based on a 4.90% levy increase, and realizing there are many variables in estimating the City’s impact on a residential homesteaded property, a median value residential property that increased in value from $240,100 to $254,200 for 2018 is estimated to see an increase in the City’s share of property taxes of approximately $4.95 per month or approximately $59.44 for the year. Franchise Fee – Pavement Management No change for 2018, next change is planned for 2019. Utility Rates-Water, Sewer, Storm Water, and Solid Waste Funds As previously reviewed and approved, the cumulative effect on a typical residential property for all the utility rate adjustments is $5.38 per month or $16.14 per quarter. The calculation is based on a household size of four using 30 units of water per quarter (22,500 gallons), and a 60 gallon solid waste service. Water, Sewer, and Storm Water rates are largely driven by our capital replacement plan for infrastructure. NEXT STEPS: As the 2018 budget process continues, the following preliminary schedule has been developed for Council: December 4 Truth in Taxation Public Hearing and budget presentation. December 11 (If needed) - Public Hearing continuation and any budget discussion. December 18 Council adopts 2017 Revised Budget, 2018 Budgets, final tax levies (City and HRA), and 2018 - 2027 CIP.

Council is asked to discuss the topic and provide direction to staff. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council want to allow current on-sale liquor license holders to apply for a special 4 a.m. closing permit during the Super Bowl as allowed by special legislation? SUMMARY: During the last legislative session the omnibus tax bill that was passed included a session law (Article 11, Section 19) that provides licensing jurisdictions that issue on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses under M.S. Chapter 340A the discretion to issue special permits for service of alcohol through extended hours lasting until 4 a.m. during the Super Bowl subject to the following conditions: •Only holders of an existing on-sale intoxicating liquor license or a 3.2 malt liquor license are eligible for later closing hours. •Later closing hours apply only during the period from 12 p.m. on February 2, 2018 through 4 a.m. on February 5, 2018. •In the process of issuing a permit, the licensing jurisdiction may limit approval to a specified geographic, zoning, or license classification within its jurisdiction. •The session law expires at 4:01 a.m. on February 5, 2018. In early October an email was sent to all current on-sale intoxicating license holders (21) regarding their potential interest in obtaining a special extended hours permit. Of the 21 license holders, 6 indicated they would have an interest in obtaining a permit for extended hours during the Super Bowl. Five (5) of the six (6) who responded are located in the West End area of the city. The City Attorney has provided the opinion that if the City Council is interested in issuing special permits for extended hours of operation during the Super Bowl, a resolution would need to be adopted to authorize the extended hours. A draft resolution is attached for your review. If the City Council is not interested in issuing special permits for extended hours, nothing further would need to be done. To date the following cities have made the decision to allow for extended hours during the Super Bowl: Bloomington, Golden Valley, Maple Grove, Minneapolis, and Richfield. Many other cities in Hennepin County plan to consider the issue in the near future, but have not yet made a final decision. The Chief of Police has indicated he has no particular concerns with allowing a 4 am closing. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Local licensing jurisdictions issuing special permits for extended hours may charge a fee up to, but not exceeding, $250 for a permit.

Reviewed for Administration: Adopted by the City Council ______ , 2017 Thomas K. Harmening, City Manager Jake Spano, Mayor Attest: Melissa Kennedy, City Clerk Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: November 13, 2017 Discussion Item: 5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: 2018 City Council Workshop RECOMMENDED ACTION: No formal action requested. Staff would like to discuss with Council the proposed consultant team and overall approach for the upcoming annual workshop. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Is the consultant team and approach for undertaking the annual workshop acceptable to the Council? SUMMARY: The Council’s annual workshop is set for Thursday, January 18 (half day) and Friday, January 19. As in past years, it is proposed that the Thursday session be devoted to relational learning, Council norms, and a revisit of the Council’s governance model. Given that there will be a new Council starting in 2018, spending time on these topics is important. In the past, the Friday session has been used to discuss high level policy issues. Given that we have just completed our community visioning process, for this coming workshop it is proposed that the Council take the first of a two-step process that ultimately leads to identifying specific areas of focus and commitment that are the highest priorities of the City Council and address the community’s vision for the future. To insure the workshop is as successful as possible, staff is proposing the use of the consultant team of Bridget Gothberg and M.L. Rice. Attached is a copy of their proposal. Ms. Gothberg would be primarily responsible for the Thursday session and Ms. Rice for the Friday session. Ms. Rice was the consultant used by the Council for its highly successful 2007 workshop, which came off the heels of the 2006 visioning process, and resulted in the four Strategic Directions we still use today. As we have done in past years, it is proposed that a sub-committee of the Council be formed to work with the consultant and staff to design the retreat. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The approximate cost of the consultant team is $15,000. There will be other incidental expenses as well, all of which are provided for in the city’s budget. VISION CONSIDERATION: All areas of Vision are potentially impacted by the outcomes of the workshop. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Consultant Proposal and Bio’s Prepared by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 5) Page 2 Title: 2018 City Council Workshop Proposal To: Tom Harmening & Nancy Deno In response to your request, please accept this proposal for facilitating a leadership and strategic direction retreat process for the St. Louis Park City Council. Overall Goal To fully engage all Council members (those continuing and those newly elected) and key staff in a comprehensive two-step retreat process that builds on foundations of the past and honors exploration of current initiatives and data. This will allow Council members to fully provide leadership in determining a sense of direction and priorities for the future of St. Louis Park. Outcome A clear direction indicating specific areas of focus and commitment that are the highest priorities of the City Council to address the community’s vision for the future. General Overview of the Process 1. Council members and select staff will participate in a day and a half retreat set for January 18 & 19, 2018. 2. The first half-day (January 18) is designed for Council members. The focus will be on relational learning and the Policy Governance Model utilized by Council and staff. 3. The second day (January 19) will be for Council members and select staff. The focus will be on deep and wide exploration of: a. where the City has been—accomplishments and issues over the past 20 years; b. where the City is currently—results of recent priorities including Vision 3.0 Community Survey results; and c. what the future might look like. The November 2017 elections will bring new members to the City Council. A review that explores where the City has been and informs where the City is currently will set the stage for a wide, divergent discussion of future possibilities. This discussion of future possibilities will then converge, leading to conversations about goals and priorities. 4. A study session set for late February or early March where the full Council approves priorities and sets direction for 2018 and 2019.

Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 5) Title: 2018 City Council Workshop Page 6 Meeting: Study Session Meeting Date: November 13, 2017 Written Report: 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TITLE: Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Open House Presentation Summary RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. The report is for information only. POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the Council wish to have further discussion regarding the information provided in the attached slide presentation? SUMMARY: The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) was invited by St. Louis Park to offer a presentation and listening session held in the Rec Center banquet room on October 24. The information presented was specifically tailored for the noise issues residents experience in the city. About 40 of the people attending the meeting appeared to be city residents. Others present were from neighboring communities, MSP FairSkies Coalition representatives, MAC Commissioner Erica Prosser, and several MAC staff. Following a welcome by Mayor Spano, Chad Leqve, Environment Department Director with the MAC, provided about an hour long discussion of the attached slide presentation. Public comments, questions and follow up discussion filled the remaining time. Those attending had an overview of MSP operations and the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) past efforts working with MAC to reduce noise. Most learned that there was a documented increase in air traffic from September 2015 through 2016 compared to the past few years. This was due primarily to prevailing wind direction and a de-confliction pattern implemented by the FAA to improve safety. However, the aircraft traffic during 2017 through September has reduced to about the previous level. A few residents at the meeting were clearly frustrated when realizing aircraft need to be aligned for landings about eight miles from the runway prior to passing over St. Louis Park when prevailing winds necessitated it FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: Not applicable. VISION CONSIDERATION: Not applicable. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Discussion MAC 10-24-17 Open House Presentation Prepared by: Brian Hoffman, Director of Inspections Approved by: Tom Harmening, City Manager Page 2 Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 6) Title: Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Open House Presentation Summary DISCUSSION BACKGROUND: St. Louis Park has participated on the NOC as one of the At-Large communities since it was created as an advisory board to the MAC Commissioners. Cities directly adjacent to MSP have a designated seat. Concerns over aircraft noise in the city historically tend to increase each summer as wind direction generally flows from the south and runway use shifts, windows are open, and people are outside. Understandably, the noise can be disturbing and people would like a solution to help, especially from several comments received over the past two years. The October open house was developed specifically for city residents in response to the frustrations expressed. MEETING SUMMARY: Chad Leqve provided an overview of MAC responsibilities and operations, NOC membership and accomplishments, FAA role in managing air traffic nationwide, and future airline trends. His discussion also focused on the studies MAC staff and NOC initiated arising from noise concerns in St. Louis Park. This included evaluation of landing gear deployment, temporary noise monitoring, flight elevation on approach, and an arrival study. Flight data presented was focused on the approach air traffic for runways 12L and 12R, which results in numerous aircraft passing over St. Louis Park when landing. The slide presentation provides a complete and clear record of the information. Public comments and questions covered a broad range including: •Wondering why aircraft cannot turn tighter onto the approach near the airport (plane dynamics and safety). •Expressing frustration, especially when learning more that air traffic landing could not be re-routed on landings to avoid flying overhead. Some had hoped that flights would be reduced because of the meeting. •Can night flights be reduced (mostly from increasing cargo and law does not allow MAC to regulate flights as MSP is a public airport). •Should St. Louis Park have a full NOC seat and not shared at-large;seems like we get more noise than other cities (Chad stated that they have implemented more studies generated from St. Louis Park than any other at-large city and response is same regardless of seat type). •How soon will airlines get fleets updated with next generation of planes (starting soon – however fleets are large and it will take time). •What can we do? Dana Nelson, Manager – Noise, Environment and Planning, from MAC was offering to follow up with any resident that had further questions. After the meeting she sent a brief update to NOC members summarizing the open house which included “I had a conversation afterwards with Brian Hoffman, the City’s NOC representative and he mentioned the importance of educating residents. There are simply things that the average citizen does not realize or immediately understand when bothered by aircraft over-flights. Chad did a good job educating the crowd on various topics and I think, at the very least, people left with a better understanding of aviation complexities and the fact that the MAC and the NOC have been and will continue to do everything within their limited power to provide reprieve to communities all around the airport. In fact, this morning I received an email from a resident who attended. She was thankful for the forum for residents to dialogue with MAC and said she learned a lot.” Page 3 Study Session Meeting of November 13, 2017 (Item No. 6) Title: Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Open House Presentation Summary NEXT STEPS: MAC has provided the presentation for the city to include on our website for those unable to attend in October and as a continual reference. Residents who experience continued aircraft noise from flight frequency or specific loud occurrences, can contact the MAC either by calling staff or using the macnoise.com website. The site offers many resources, including flight tracking and complaint filing. Results of complaints are reviewed by the NOC at regular bi-monthly meetings as part of the agenda.

Please inform staff of any questions or feedback you might have POLICY CONSIDERATION: Does the EDA continue to support the proposed acquisition of 5639 Minnetonka Blvd? SUMMARY: At the October 23rd Study Session, the EDA expressed consensus support for acquiring a bank-owned property located at 5639 Minnetonka Boulevard. Since that time the property was listed on the market for $137,900. Staff submitted a letter of intent to purchase the property at the asking price and was informed that the property was moved to Auction. On November 3rd, staff successfully placed the highest bid for the property at $136,000. Staff is currently negotiating with the seller to accept this bid and work toward closing of the property. If the bid is accepted, a purchase agreement will be prepared for the EDA’s review and consideration. The subject property is a single family property that has been vacant for several years and has fallen into disrepair. It is zoned R-4, Multi-Family Residential and is located adjacent to three other single family homes; all zoned R-4. These properties are guided for RM-Medium Density Residential, which permit up to 30 units per acre. All three of the neighboring single family properties are working with a realtor who is looking to redevelop them. The realtor has met with staff and indicated an interest in building an apartment building at this location. EDA ownership of the subject property would allow the city to facilitate and guide redevelopment of these single family homes and expand the city’s housing stock with new market-rate and affordable housing. Staff believes this location provides an opportunity to incorporate non- traditional housing options such as row homes or townhomes. FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION: The property is currently assessed at $168,000. Staff bid $136,000 and is negotiating with the seller on a final amount. Closing costs are anticipated to be $5,000-$7,000. The EDA could incur additional costs related to demolition and property management before the property is redeveloped. The cost of acquisition and related expenses would be covered by the Development Fund with the intent to recoup the EDA’s investment from the future sale of the property. VISION CONSIDERATION: St. Louis Park is committed to providing a well-maintained and diverse housing stock.
