CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE BY AREA
BUDGET OVERVIEW
Operating (General Fund) Budget
The city’s operating budget is the budget used to finance the day-to-day operations and
obligations of the city. The operating budget is also called the General Fund budget. The
budget process is an ongoing function of city government and a top priority of the city
administrator. The budgeting process also takes place at the county level, school district
and in other special taxing districts.
The General Fund is the city’s largest governmental fund and is supported primarily by
property taxes (i.e. the levy). The General Fund is used to pay for city services and amenities
such as street and park maintenance, elections, snowplowing, public safety services such
as police and fire, and natural resources infrastructure. The general fund/levy recognizes
the challenges of maintaining service levels and meeting the community’s high
expectations.
City staff begins preparing budget requests and proposals in June for the next fiscal year.
The city’s fiscal year begins on January 1. In preparing the 2026 operating budget, staff were
directed to keep existing levels of service the same as provided for in 2025. Additional items
Page 6 of 108
Budget Memo Page 6
such as new pieces of equipment, major projects, additional staff, or new services are
proposed as budget requests.
Capital Fund – Capital Improvement Plan
The City adopts a five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that serves as a strategic
blueprint for long-term physical improvements to infrastructure, facilities, and equipment.
As a multi-year planning and budgeting tool, the CIP prioritizes capital projects, identifies
funding sources, and guides the efficient allocation of resources to support infrastructure
sustainability and financial stability.
The CIP focuses on capital assets—projects intended for public use that exceed $10,000 in
cost and go beyond routine operating or maintenance expenses. Examples include vehicles,
street improvements, new building construction, major renovations, equipment purchases,
and technology upgrades. Routine repairs, like pothole filling, or operational costs, such as
staffing increases, are not considered capital improvements.
Although the CIP outlines anticipated expenditures over a five-year period, its adoption does
not commit the City to any specific project or funding level. Instead, it serves as a flexible,
advisory framework for managing future investments, debt obligations, and competing
infrastructure needs within the limits of available and often restricted funding sources.
City Fund Balances
Fund balance reserves are an important component in ensuring the overall financial health
of a city.
The Office of the State Auditor recommends that at year-end, local governments maintain
an unreserved fund balance in their general and special revenue funds of approximately 35-
50% of fund operating revenues or no less than five months of operating expenditures. While
bond rating agencies do not have recommended fund balance levels, rating agencies may
look favorably on larger fund balances (generally 75%), which protect against contingencies
and cash flow needs. The city has held a Standard & Poor’s AAA bond rating since 2013.
The City established a citywide fund balance policy in 2010 and has updated it in
subsequent years. Within this policy, the following fund balance levels are recommended:
x General Fund 75%
x Water Revenue Fund $200,000
x Special Park Fund $200,000
x Civil Defense Fund 50%
x Street Light District Fund 25%
Page 7 of 108
Budget Memo Page 7
General Fund (Fund) Balance. The City’s unassigned general fund balance on 12/31/2024
was $13,079,199. The city has obligated $1,573,934, leaving an estimated unassigned
balance of $11,505,265. The proposed FY2026 general fund expenditures are $13,898,334.
There is $1,081,515 available for proposed 2026 budget requests. This dollar amount
represents the amount available without going below the 75% required as per the city’s fund
balance policy.
Special Parks Fund (Fund) Balance. The City’s unassigned special parks fund balance on
12/31/2024 was $215,732. The city has obligated $29,500 for 2025, leaving an estimated
unassigned balance of $186,232. The council will need to discuss its position regarding the
balance of the special parks fund before considering 2026 special parks fund expenditures
requests.
2026 PROPOSED PRELIMINARY BUDGET (SUMMARY)
Proposed Property Tax Levy
The total levy for 2026 is proposed to be $14,061,138 up 3.44% from $13,593,381 in 2025.

Paid Family Medical Leave Act Premiums

✔
✔
The State's Paid Family Medical Leave Act goes into effect January 1, 2026. This requires employers to provide paid
family leave in accordance with the state's requirements. The state's requirements exceed the city's current leave
program. Staff have reviewed the cost of using a private insurance provider as compared with the State's program and
the State's program was less expensive for the city.
The program cost would be split 50/50 between the city and employees.

Budget Review Results:

Funding Source Recommendation:
Contribution to Equipment Reserve Fund is recommended: Yes No
The City sought quotes to see what the premiums would be for a private provider of the insurance rather than the State's
program. The premium costs for a private provider were higher than the premiums through the State's program.
Another alternative that the city considered self-insuring the benefit rather than purchasing insurance through either a
private vendor or the State. This would require the city to purchase a surety bond in addition to the cost of providing the
employee benefit. Staff have not identified any other cities that are implementing their own program to meet the State
requirements. Staff will continue to evaluate if it is feasible to adjust to an internal program in future years after collecting
use data through the State's program.

Park AEDs
All Kelly Torkelson and Meredith Lawrence
1 1
✔✔
✔
✔
The Employee Safety Committee requests funding to install four Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) at Wentworth,
Friendly Hills, Kensington, and Mendakota Parks. Each device will be housed in a weather-resistant, 911-integrated
enclosure, enabling immediate emergency response in high-traffic areas—especially where seniors and spectators
frequently gather—dramatically boosting survival odds in the event of sudden cardiac arrest.
As parks are integral to promoting exercise and physical well-being, equipping them with on-site AEDs aligns with their
core mission. Active recreation carries inherent cardiac risks—especially among older adults—but immediate access to
defibrillator ensures that someone experiencing a cardiac arrest while playing or spectating has a higher chance of
survival. The useful life of AEDs in 10 years and will need to be replaced at that time.

Budget Review Results:
City Administrator:

Funding Source Recommendation:
Contribution to Equipment Reserve Fund is recommended: Yes No
Without funding, the city's parks will continue to function as they currently do. In the case that a member of the public has
a cardiac arrest in the city's parks they will not have immediate access to an AED and will have to rely on emergency
responders who usually have a delayed arrival time based on their location when notified of the incident. The longer the
response time, the less likely the person experiencing a cardiac arrest will survive.
This would improve the level of service that currently exists through the city's park system and emergency response. The
only alternative that was considered was continuing with the existing model without additional access to AEDs.

Asset management is a strategic approach to managing the City’s infrastructure, ensuring we maintain safe, reliable,
and cost-effective services for our community. By tracking the condition, performance, and life cycles of our assets—
such as streets, utilities, and facilities—we can make informed decisions about maintenance, repair, and replacement.
This data-driven process helps extend the life of our infrastructure, promote fiscal management practices, and optimize
available resources. The system would be utilized by multiple departments including Engineering, Public Works, Parks &
Recreation, Natural Resources, Fleet/Vehicle Maintenance, Utilities, and Emergency Management (Police and Fire), as
well as used for streamlining general work order requests, tracking,and response.

Indefinite
5% Annual Increase
If not approved, the City will continue to rely on fragmented processes and manual tracking, which increases the risk of
inefficient maintenance and missed opportunities for cost savings. Without a centralized asset management system, it
becomes more difficult to proactively address infrastructure needs, potentially leading to asset failures that impact public
safety, disrupt essential services, and increase long-term costs. Additionally, staff will lack the tools needed for effective
planning and coordination across departments, reducing our ability to respond quickly to resident concerns and delaying
the development of clear, data-supported recommendations for Council consideration.
As part of our evaluation, staff considered two other asset management vendors, AssetWorks and CivicPlus. After
thorough review, these options were not recommended due to less efficient tracking processes, more complex user
interfaces, and lower ease of use compared to our proposed solution. Additionally, both alternatives came at a higher cost,
making them less fiscally responsible choices for the City. Staff believes the recommended system provides the best
combination of functionality, user-friendliness, and value to meet our operational and financial goals.

Begin the update to the City's 2050 Comprehensive Plan, in compliance with state law. The project will cover three
budget years, from 2026-2028.
During the first year, the City would retain a consultant to complete the work and conduct the kick-off of the project. Staff
would coordinate development of the plan and facilitation of the process with the consultant to offset the total project
cost. This amount for 2026 ($9,500) presumes funds available for a consultant to be selected and initial work reviewing
the document. Overall project cost over the three years is anticipated between $60-75,000.

Staff would like to add a standby generator to the maintenance garage at the golf course. A similar model was installed
at the clubhouse in the Spring of 2025. This would help to ensure we do not have any issues with the existing "riser
room"--fire sprinkler room losing heat due to a power outage. In a power outage it also allows us to maintain services

The fire sprinkler room needs to be kept warm, the International Fire Code (IFC) requires that the temperature in the room

The alternative that has been used in the past is a temperature sensor monitor that alerts staff when the temperature of
the riser room gets below 50 degrees. This typically is because of a power outage. When this occurs, staff comes in and
brings a generator to plug in the riser room heater to ensure the riser room does not freeze.

✔
The streets Department is requesting a wheel loader to better meet the needs of the department. The city has an
existing wheel loader which is over sized for the needs of the city. The weight and size of the existing loader can be
limiting on where the loader can be used. A right sized loader can provide a versatile tool for city activities. This
equipment is priced with a mid-mount Falls wing, which is the same wing that is on our plow trucks, and will be used for
benching back snow in the winter time. It is also priced with a Sno Wolf front plow with wings similar to the plow on the
compact wheel loader, and will be used for plowing cul-de-sacs and parking lots.

John Deere Gator
Public Works (Parks) Ryan Ruzek/John Boland

✔
✔
✔
Public Works utilizes seasonal workers during the winter and summer. These seasonal workers need a means of
transportation to complete tasks around the city. The versatile gator vehicle can be a great people mover, has a
dumping box, can carry needed tools and supplies, and is easier to store and cheaper than a full sized pickup. This
vehicle is also proposed to include a plow to assist in winter maintenance.
In discussing this vehicle with Parks and Recreation, this vehicle or an existing utility vehicle could be converted to a
tracked machine in the winter and groom cross country ski trails on the Par 3 golf course. The tracks are not currently
included in the requested amount. It is not yet determined if this vehicle or a separate utility vehicle will be best suited
for this purpose as the tracks may not be durable enough for plowing.

Fire Station Parking Lot
Facility Ryan Ruzek
2 5
✔
✔
✔
When the 2020 remodeling and addition to the Fire Station was originally being designed, a new driveway and parking
lot for the entire facility was part of the initial work scope. As we approached the start for the project, it was apparent that
inflationary factors were significantly impacting all construction projects at the time because of the cost of materials and
labor shortages. At the time, several alternatives were put on the table as potential cost savings for the entire station
project. One of those options was to proceed with a new driveway and parking lot around the new building addition and
delay repaving any of the original driveway and parking lot. City management elected to take this option and directed
staff to go with the less expensive option and add the remaining driveway and parking lot repairs to the city CIP. The
current parking lot and driveway are in dire condition and require significant and ongoing repair.

Increase Recycling Coordinator Hours
Recycling Meredith Lawrence
1 1
✔
The city's Recycling Coordinator is a West St. Paul employee who provides 12 hours a week to Mendota Heights. In
some shifts between the partner cities of the JPA, the City of Mendota Heights is looking to take over employment of the
Recycling Coordinator position and increase the Mendota Heights hours to 20 starting in 2026. The additional 8 hours a
week would be allocated to the city's sustainability efforts (Green Steps, Partners in Energy) that has historically been
understaffed.
Of the $32,000 increase in salary--a portion of which has been included in past budgets, this request results in a net
increase if the 2026 recycling budget of approximately $5,000. If accepted an updated JPA and Grant Agreement will
need to be signed prior to final budget approval in December.

steps towards curbside organics collection, lead the staff sustainability committee/collaboration between departments, and
create and maintain communications and events demonstrating sustainability goals, activities and progress.

Budget Review Results:
City Administrator:
Recommended: Yes No
Funding Source Recommendation:
Contribution to Equipment Reserve Fund is recommended: Yes No
Without the additional staff hours, there is not sufficient staff capacity to show significant progress within the sustainability
efforts that Mendota Heights is working towards achieving with Green Steps Cities and Partners in Energy.
Staff within the Public Works Department as a whole (Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation, Recycling, Community
Development, Engineering) have all tried to better prioritize Sustainability efforts within our work, but do not have capacity
to take on this additional work at this time.
