Subject: Preliminary FY 2020 Budget
Date: August 13, 2018
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION:
The City Council will meet at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, August 13th, to review the portions of the FY 2020
City Operating Budget. A second workshop will be held beginning at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, August 20th.
The budget discussion on the upcoming Tuesday is expected to cover all but recreation and revenues.
Those additional items, plus any follow-up or items which were not able to be covered at the August 13th
workshop will be discussed at the second workshop.
BACKGROUND:
As has been done in the past, city staff was directed to prepare its requests for next year’s operating
budget, with the existing levels of service to remain.
Overview:
The largest portion of the property tax impact is the General Fund. The preliminary levy increase is
proposed in these pages at 6.67%, but that was before the City was notified of a double digit increase for
employee health insurance. That is discussed in more detail below.
The new health insurance information will add approximately $70,000 to the overall levy, depending on
the split between employees and the City. If the entire amount is added, the levy increase would instead
be 7.4%. This compares to an increase of 9.51% last year.
From a property tax increase standpoint, the City’s overall tax capacity value has increased from $25
million to approximately $27.2 million. The market value for residential properties increased an average
of 7.39% from 2019 to 2020. The net tax increase for a typical valued home ($408,407) will see an
increase of 4.63%, but that is without the new health insurance impact.
Capital and One Time Expenditures: There are several requested expenditures, which are shown as
Budget Improvement Packages (BIP’s). In almost every case, those which are recommended to be added
would come from the City Fund Balance. This recognizes that last year’s budget was underspent, and the
City was able to add nearly $750,000 to the Fund Balance. Therefore, rather than raises taxes in FY 2020
to pay for this items, we are recommending to pay for those new options from the Balance.
In order to keep the City’s AAA bond rating, that percentage should not drop below 75%. We are
recommending approximately $498,000 in expenditures out of that $750,000, which means that the Fund
Balance will still be higher than it was last year.
I have included my recommendations for each BIP.
Bond Payments--The good news is that the Ice Arena Payments to the City of West St. Paul ($85,000 in
the FY 19 Budget) are now entirely paid off. The bad news is that the Fire Station Bond payments
increased by $103,611 from the first year in 2019, to the amount in next year’s budget. (That levy
amount will level off in future years). Therefore, unfortunately there are no bond payment “savings”
from the ice arena arrangement which might be spent for other things.
Major Topics:
Health Insurance: In the most recent preceding years, the employee health premiums were flat or
relatively small—one year even had a slight decrease. FY 2019 was 4%. Staff had provided for a
preliminary increase in FY 2020 of 5%. However, on August 8th (as this material was being prepared) we
were informed that the increase will be 13.5%.
We will be examining options, and expect to have more information for you at the first workshop.
Personnel Positions: There are no new positions in the base portion of the 2020 budget; however, the
parks maintenance position which was added in FY 2019 is now to be funded for a full year--it was
budgeted to begin April 1st, so the budget equivalent of .25 of a position is being added. However, that
maintenance position is currently vacant, but funded for FY 2020. We will need to discuss its status at
the second workshop.
The only new employee position which is recommended for consideration is a BIP for an Office
Assistant. While it would help in general duties around City Hall (assisting with code enforcement and
such things as packet preparation for Natural Resources, and Planning), the majority of its time would be
to assist in Recreation. The current demands on the Recreation Coordinator are not sustainable; that
position is averaging 13 hours each pay period of overtime. This new position would add a net $65,000
(with benefits) if FT. Part time alternatives at 20 or 24 hours per week are also possible. However, if the
position is not FT, we will need to look carefully at reducing or eliminating several recreation program
alternatives.
Worker’s Comp—The City’s Workers Comp Premiums went up significantly, from $282,000, to
$365,000. Rather than budget for the entire amount, we are budgeting for one half of that, and
anticipating that we will have an underspend in other areas at the end of the year to make that up.
Labor—All four of the City’s labor contracts are up for renewal beginning in 2020.
Athletic Fields: We will wait for this discussion until the second meeting. However, the anticipated
$30,000 which had been budgeted for income in FY 2019 to come from user groups, has not yet been
realized. The proposed budget has reduced that amount significantly.
Fire Relief: The recommended budget includes an increase of $500 per firefighter for the Relief
Association for 2019, which adds $18,000.
Fireworks: The proposed FY 2020 budget continues to provide $14,000.
Wednesday Night Concerts: The proposed FY2020 budget includes a small increase (from $3000, to
$4000) for a continuation of the Summer Concert Series.
We look forward to discussions of the FY 20 budget with you.

City Package Number
City of Mendota Heights
FY 2019 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: August 1, 2019 Prepared By: Cheryl Jacobson
Department: Administration (Recreation, Community Development, Finance)
Description: Staff is proposing the addition of an Office Support Assistant position to assist with
the work of the recreation department, and other daily administrative functions including code
enforcement, document imaging and administrative projects/events.
Reason for Request: The City currently has one employee, the Recreation Program Coordinator
who is responsible for all recreation programming, Par 3 functions, and assists in coordinating
park renovation and improvement projects and city‐wide events. Additionally, Department
Directors are spending time performing general office tasks which could be performed by
support staff allowing for additional director time to be spent on project level work.
Cost: Salary and Benefits: up to $74,965, depending on position status; initial equipment
costs: $2,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Over the last year, the Recreation Program
Coordinator has averaged 93 hours per pay period. The regularity of overtime hours within the
Recreation Program Coordinator position needs to be evaluated for the long term. As well as
the inability of current staff to address work/projects in a prioritized and timely manner.
Desired Date of Implementation: January, 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
The net cost of adding this position would be $65,000 (FT), after reducing OT for the Recreation
Coordinator position by $10,000. About 60% of this position’s time would be for recreation. If
this is not funded, we need to reduce several recreation activities. Funding of the positions is
dependent in part on the level of services. This would be a levied tax position. Recommend to
add for 2020.

City Package Number
City of Mendota Heights
FY 2019 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: 07/09/2019 Prepared By: C. Jacobson, K. McCarthy
Department: City Hall/Police
Description:
To contract with CNH Architects to complete a comprehensive, building wide space needs
assessment.
Reason for Request:
As part of our Council directed city goals, both the police department and city hall are
responsible for assessing space issues. While city staff is able to identify needs, we are ill‐
equipped to identify cost effective solutions that make the best use of existing resources and
identify future options.
Cost:
$15,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal:
Historically, improvements/changes to the building have been on a project by project basis with
no real collaboration between the police department and City Hall. This approach has left the
building feeling disjointed and remodels become more of a band‐aide than a long term
solution. Taking a professional look at the overall space and planning projects accordingly could
result in lower long‐term costs.
Desired Date of Implementation:
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend to Add for 2020, to come from Fund Balance. Will help to strategically plan for
Police/City Hall Improvements.

City Package Number
City of Mendota Heights
FY 2020 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: July 8, 2019 Prepared By: Captain Wayne Wegener
Department: Police Division
Description: Purchase Pole Camera
Reason for Request: Many police agencies utilize pole cameras with great success. They allow
officers to monitor areas where criminal activity has increased, while deterring others from
committing crimes.
A pole camera would aid the police department in several ways. For example, if a particular
area of the city is being inundated with a crime, such as thefts from vehicles or damage to
property, the camera could be deployed to assist with identifying the criminals.
The camera could also proactively be placed in an area to deter criminal activity. This could be
at a city park that is experiencing vandalism or an event that would attract a large number of
people.
Cost: $10,000 Funding $5,000 from the City and $5,000 possible donation form MHCAF.
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal:
Funding would allow the police department to place a camera in areas where criminal activity
has increased. It can be used to help apprehend those responsible for crimes and deter others
from committing them.
Should the council choose to not fund the request, the police department will continue to work
diligently to apprehend criminals, deter individuals from committing crimes, and keep Mendota
Heights a safe community.
Desired Date of Implementation: Quarter 1 of 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend Approval, take $5,000 from the Fund Balance in 2020.

City of Mendota Heights
FY 2020 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: July 8, 2019 Prepared By: Captain Wayne Wegener
Department: Police Division
Description: Purchase Ford F‐150 to replace existing 2013 Ford Explorer
Reason for Request: The current vehicle assigned to the Community Service Officer (CSO) position is a
Ford Explorer and was put into service with the department in 2013. An SUV is not conducive for many
of the daily duties of a CSO, such as transporting contained animals in a portable kennel, picking up
abandoned and found property, such as bicycles, transporting barricades, etc.
In addition to CSO duties, a pick‐up truck would be beneficial for the City in many ways. For instance,
the department maintains a secured drop box for safe disposal of unused prescriptions. Last year, the
department took in approximately 2,600 pounds of unused prescription medications from citizens.
These boxes need to be transported by department personnel to be destroyed.
The department also has an enclosed trailer it utilizes for training. This trailer houses equipment used at
the firearms range and is towed to and from. Additionally, there are training items, such as a breaching
door and training barricade that need to be transported to various training locations.
Cost: $45,500.00 – This includes all emergency equipment, topper, graphics, etc.
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal:
The current CSO vehicle is a 2013 Ford Explorer. Funding would allow for CSO and other department
duties to be done safer and more efficiently.
Also, the current CSO vehicle has already had the transmission and water pump replaced. It is out of
warranty and repair costs on this vehicle could continue to add up.
If approved, we would sell the current CSO SUV and use the proceeds to offset the cost of the new
vehicle.
Desired Date of Implementation: Quarter 1 of 2020 – depending on availability
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend not funding. However, if a major component fails in 2020, we could revisit and consider
funding from Fund Balance midyear, rather than making an expensive repair.

City Package Number
City of Mendota Heights
FY 2019 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: 7/5/2019 Prepared By: Fire Chief Dreelan
Department: Fire
Description: Fire Department All‐Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
Reason for Request:
In 2000 the fire department received a donation from a private citizen which was used for the
purchase of a Hydratrek All‐Terrain Vehicle.
The Hydratrek was billed as the ultimate utility vehicle, which could be used for Ice Rescue, (it
floats), grass fires and civilian rescues in remote locations such as the river bottoms or on the
trail system.
Technically, it does all of the intended functions, but it does not do any of them well. Any
attempt at using it as a vehicle to fight grass or bush fires was abandoned years ago because of
ongoing maintenance issues related to its fire pump and its small water tank. The vehicle does
float, however because of the prolonged amount of time it takes to deploy the vehicle, the slow
operational speed and limited crew and equipment capacity, it has no value as an ice or water
rescue platform.
Due to the expansion of the city’s trail system and the growth of off road biking, the Hydratrek
does get a fair amount of use when we need to access victims in areas that can’t be reached
with traditional vehicles. Unfortunately, the vehicle is very slow and lacks the space and
features needed to properly transport a victim that has been injured in a biking accident or for
an individual experiencing a medical emergency. Most recently, medics form Health East
elected to place an injured victim on their stretcher and push the stretcher approximately a half
mile down a bike trail to the ambulance, rather than use our current ATV.
Page 26
The current vehicle would be replaced by a standard ATV, which are widely used in the
recreational, agricultural and fire rescue sectors.
Cost: $40,000.
For over two years the Relief Association has been holding a $10,000 donation made by Joe
Schafer. Joe’s wish is that the money be used for a purpose or a piece of equipment such as the
proposed ATV. The Relief Association is prepared to donate the $10,000 to the city for the
purpose of this purchase, reducing the city’s expense to $30,000.
Once the new ATV is in service, the old ATV can be sold or donated.
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal:
Desired Date of Implementation: 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend including in future year bond sale. Not to be included in the 2020 Budget.

FY 2020 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: 7/9/2019 Prepared By: Ryan Ruzek/John Boland
Department: Streets/Parks
Description: 2020 Intimidator 15XP drum style brush bandit chipper
Reason for Request: The city currently has a 2001 Brush bandit chipper which is due for
replacement.
Cost: $49,500 after a $13,000 trade‐in value.
New Chipper $62,500
Trade‐in $13,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Feed wheels on the existing units are in need of
replacement which will be a costly repair.
Desired Date of Implementation: March 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend $5,000 from Fund Balance for replacement of worn grinding drums if needed. Not
complete replacement.

Department: Streets
Description: 2019 Mack Granite 42BR SA Plow Truck
Reason for Request: A 2007 Mack Plow truck is due for replacement. The new truck matches
the previous plow truck purchased in 2017. The 2019 truck will have GPS capabilities which
collects data on salt usage and lanes miles for analysis of reducing deicing chemicals.
Cost: $186,682 after a $35,000 trade‐in value.
Cab/Chassis $112,615
TowMaster Package $109,067
Trade‐in $35,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: The large plow trucks are the backbone of the
city plowing operations. When even one plow (of 4) is out of service, the city needs to rely on
the smaller vehicles to plow streets which also adds additional wear to other fleet vehicles.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval, to be ordered in 2019 if possible. Concern about this truck making it
through the 2019‐2020 winter snowplowing season.

Department: Public Works ‐ Streets
Description: ¾ Ton Pick up, 2020 F250
Reason for Request: A replacement pick up is requested for the street department. Public
Works pick‐ups are needed for daily work duties. The engineering department is requesting to
keep the old vehicle to replace the older Ford explorer which could be sold or traded in.
Cost: $36,300 2/3 from fund balance and 1/3 from Sewer Utility
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Per the city fleet policy, pickups are to be
replaced after no longer than 10 years of service. The pick up currently used by the Public
Works Superintendent is scheduled for replacement in 2020.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
This truck is mechanically sound. Recommend approval for replacement with this vehicle being
transferred to City Hall for use by Natural Resources and Facilities. That would allow the Ford
Explorer to be sold as surplus.

Department: Public Works ‐ Streets
Description: Asphalt Hot Box Trailer
Reason for Request: An asphalt hot box trailer is requested for the street department. Public
Works currently has a hot box that is mounted on a large plow truck. The heat from the hot
box has resulted in this truck needing repairs to the truck bed and hydraulic hoses underneath
the bed. The box is currently manually mounted in the spring and removed in the fall. A
dedicated trailer would allow Public Works to begin patching operations earlier in the season
and extend later into the fall.
Cost: $27,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Patching operation will continue to wait until
the winter plow trucks are converted to their summer uses. Potential repairs may be needed to
the trucks due to excessive heat.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval from Fund Balance. Will allow for potholes to be fixed during snowplow
season.

Department: Facility – Public Works
Description: Salt Storage Bin
Reason for Request: Street deicing material (salt) is currently stored in a side garage of the
public works facility. The salt is causing corrosion of metal surfaces and deteriorating concrete
surfaces. An exterior storage bin is proposed to prevent premature deterioration of the public
works facility building. Relocating the salt storage will accommodate additional storage of
attachments which currently do not have space to be stored indoors.
Cost: $150,000 (Split between Streets, Parks, and Sanitary Utility)
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Further deterioration of the building will
continue to occur.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Not included in 2020. However, public works has a number of building issues which should be
addressed, including indoor and outdoor storage, office spaces, and technology. A
comprehensive study should be undertaken in 2021.

continue to grow as the vast open areas of the city are in need of management.
Desired Date of Implementation: March 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval of ½ of original estimate from Fund Balance. Will require greater
involvement by Natural Resources Technician and Natural Resources Commission, if that is
created.

Preparation Date: 7/9/2019 Prepared By: Ryan Ruzek/John Boland
Department: Parks
Description: 2020 Toro Pro 5800 G with ExcelaRate Sprayer
Reason for Request: The city currently has a spray unit mounted on a Kubota Utility vehicle.
The current sprayer is undersized for the added maintenance at Par 3 and separating the
fertilizer and herbicide chemicals is required when dealing with putting greens. The existing
unit is also too heavy for the Kubota. The new sprayer includes a cab which will help with
personal protection equipment.
Cost: $62,329
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: The Kubota will need new springs if it is to
continue to be used with the existing sprayer. The Kubota would be used for other purposes if
the Toro sprayer is approved.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval from fund balance. Will make spraying operations at Parks and Par 3
faster and safer for the employee doing the application.

Preparation Date: 7/9/2019 Prepared By: Ryan Ruzek
Department: Parks
Description: Skate Park Maintenance and Improvements
Reason for Request: Mendota Heights committed to providing a skate park in the early 2000’s.
Since its opening, the park see regular use. To date, the city has not added any new features. A
quote was solicited form 3rd Lair. 3Rd Lair held a focus group meeting on this park and provided
a maintenance and expansion quote. A year 1 improvement would include the construction of
three new pieces: Round Rail, grind box, and a wall ride ramp. Future additions could include
bowl corners to increase the flow of the park.
Cost: $10,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: The users of this park enjoy the simplicity of the
features provided. Making improvements as proposed would make a larger scale
reconstruction unnecessary.
Desired Date of Implementation: March 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval from Fund Balance. The park gets a lot of use.

Department: Recycling
Description: Cleanup day funding/Resiliency efforts
Reason for Request: Dakota County adopted a policy change in regards to the waste
abatement funding. The city would be looking at a projected revenue of $21,000 reduced from
$32,000. The city is also no longer able to fully fund the cleanup day operations. A portion of
the Recycling Coordinator's activities are requested to be used towards Green Steps/Resiliency
efforts.
Cost: $10,000
$5,000 for Cleanup day
$5,000 for Recycling Coordinator activities
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: If the funding for the cleanup day is not
approved, the event will need to be suspended or altered to limit the materials collected.
If funding for the recycling coordinator is not approved, the city will not be able to meet its
obligations of the JPA with South St. Paul, West St. Paul, and Sunfish Lake.
Desired Date of Implementation: January 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Would have to come from levy. Recommend $5,000 for the Recycling Coordinator activities.
The other $5,000 for clean up day would mean no tires or electronics recycling (or charge for
those).

City Package Number
City of Mendota Heights
FY 2020 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: 7/9/2019 Prepared By: Ryan Ruzek/John Boland
Department: Sanitary Utility
Description: 2021 Freightliner M2106 with 800 HP eco truck mount jetter – Jet Truck
1500 Gallon tank
Reason for Request: The current jet truck is a 1991 JCT jetter truck. This vehicle gets extensive
use in cleaning sewers and clearing blockages from storm sewer whether caused by debris or
ice blockages. The vehicle is currently out dated and in need of replacement.
Cost: 234,000 after a $10,000 trade‐in value.
Cab/Chassis $83,000
Jet Package $161,000
Trade‐in $10,000
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: The existing jetter truck will be 29 years old
next year. A failure of this equipment would require the city to contract additional jetting work
which would increase the costs of sewer maintenance.
Desired Date of Implementation: April 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Recommend approval – funding from the sanitary sewer fund. The truck is nearly 30 years old.

City of Mendota Heights
FY 2019 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: July 16, 2019 Prepared By: Meredith Lawrence
Department: Par 3
Description: Back Up Generator
Reason for Request: The Facilities Manager is recommending a backup generator be installed
in the Par 3 Maintenance Building. Currently the Par 3 does not have a backup generator for the
building, so if power was lost city staff would need to use a gas operated portable generator in
order to run a space heater which would heat the sprinkler room. This would prevent the
sprinkler stand pipe from freezing. If the power was out for a considerable amount of time the
building could have major issues.
Cost: Approximately $10,000 ($7,000 for generator, $3,000 estimate for trench work from
road to building for the gas line)
Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: The Facilities Manager is recommending this
piece of equipment because it could prevent the expense of a future frozen fire protection
system piping and water damage to the building and equipment.
Desired Date of Implementation: March 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
Not recommended. Need to explore remote monitoring. If power goes out for an extended
period of time, will need to get portable generator and space heater to keep well head from
freezing.

FY 2019 Budget Improvement Package
Preparation Date: July 16, 2019 Prepared By: Meredith Lawrence
Department: Par 3
Description: Greensmaster® TriFlex™ 3300 (04510)‐Greens Mower
Reason for Request: A Greensmaster® TriFlex™ 3300 (04510) is requested for replacement for
the Par 3 Golf Course. The Par 3 currently uses a 2008 Toro GR3150 with approximately 2,000
hours on it. This equates to 120,000 miles. This piece of equipment is currently nearing the end
of its useful life.
The left reel will not hold tolerance for more than 1 session of mowing before it needs
recalibration. Two of the three reels do not freely circulate. When they stick the mower scalps
the greens and rips up the grass. The reels are starting to freeze in mid use, which is resulting in
damaged greens. The back reel is struggling to properly drop, which means it hangs for longer
than it should, giving a clear, inconsistent cut on the course.
The engine has lost power quickly, and staff is struggling at times to get the mower moving
quickly enough to mow. The machine is leaking oil very heavily at this point which is impacting
the greens.
A new replacement is approximately $36,000. The existing Toro GR3000, used for verticutting
and the Toro GR3150 would both be traded in for a minimal amount. Then the Par 3 would
have one mower that could do both cutting the greens and verticutting.
Cost: Approximately $37,000

Impact of Funding/Not Funding This proposal: Repair costs continue to add up on this piece of
equipment.
Desired Date of Implementation: March 2020
City Administrator Recommendation:
This needs to be replaced in 2020 from Fund Balance. This will mean that all major pieces of
equipment at Par 3 have been replaced over the past couple of years, however, this is the only
one which is unique to golf.
