It serves as a key planning tool for elected officials, city staff, and the community. This booklet contains the proposed preliminary budget for Fiscal Year 2027 and outlines the city’s financial strategy for the upcoming year and guides the responsible use of public funds.

Met Council’s 2025 population estimate for Mendota Heights was slightly higher than the 2020 census at 11,967. Met Council also provides housing unit estimates. Based on data from 2025, Met Council is reporting that the city has 5,117 housing units, of which 66.5% are single-family detached homes. Property Values Property values are determined annually by the Dakota County Assessor’s Office. For Mendota Heights, the estimated average taxable market value for all property types increased 1.04% from tax year 2025 (payable 2026) to tax year 2026 (payable 2027). The estimated taxable market value for residential properties increased .34% from tax year 2025 (payable 2026) to tax year 2026 (payable 2027) The estimated median market value for a residential home in Mendota Heights increased .40% for 2026 to $553,200, as compared to $551,000 in 2025. Tax Rate An important component of the Minnesota property tax formula is the calculation of a city’s tax rate, which helps determine each property owner’s share of the city’s total property tax levy. The city’s tax rate changes from year to year based on the amount of property taxes the city needs to collect (the levy) and changes in the city’s overall tax base. Over the past 10 years, the city’s tax rate has shifted as the city’s levy, property values, and overall tax base have changed. $513,350 $526,100 $537,300 $551,000 $553,200 $500,000 $525,000 $550,000 $575,000 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY -MEDIAN VALUES 2022-2026 Page 6 of 155 Budget Memo Page 3 Even with these changes, Mendota Heights continues to have one of the lowest city tax rates in Dakota County for 2026.

The mayor serves a two-year term, and council members serve four-year terms. The mayor and council are: Name Position Term Ends Stephanie B. Levine Mayor December 31, 2026 John Mazzitello Council Member December 31, 2026 Sally Lorberbaum Council Member December 31, 2026 John Maczko Council Member December 31, 2028 Joel Paper Council Member December 31, 2028 City Council Priorities The Mendota Heights City Council sets strategic priorities at each two-year mayoral election cycle. These priorities serve as a roadmap for city services, programs, and amenities and drive staff work plans. The city council established its 2025-2026 priorities focusing on: City Council Operating Goals The City Council's operating goals identify key priorities that the Council intends to accomplish in 2025-2026. These goals serve as a guide for city decision-making, budget development, and staff direction. They reflect the Council’s commitment to addressing critical infrastructure needs, improving service delivery, and advancing long-term community investments. Page 8 of 155 Budget Memo Page 5 While referred to as operating goals, these objectives are considered part of the city’s broader strategic plan. The City Council’s operating goals are more targeted and actionable than the City Council's strategic priorities. City Council Operating Goals for 2025-2026: 1.Address city hall and police department building needs 2.Develop sustainable, long-term funding for capital improvements 3.(Tie) Enhance cell coverage 3.(Tie) Complete Industrial Park visioning 4.(Tie) Work on fiscal rightsizing 4.(Tie) Develop performance standards City Advisory Commissions The City has four advisory commissions: the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Airport Relations Commission, and the Natural Resources Commission. Each commission has seven members who are appointed by the city council. City Staff Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) are a way of measuring the City’s staffing level. One full-time employee generally represents 1.0 FTE. Using FTEs provides a consistent way to measure staffing levels and understand changes in the size of the City’s workforce over time. FTEs measure the City’s employee workforce, and do not include individuals or firms that provide services to the City through contracts. Not including seasonal workers and paid-on-call firefighters, the city has 54.9 full-time equivalent positions authorized in 2026. Contracted services, such as the City Attorney, are budgeted separately and are not considered City employee FTEs.

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. City staff begin preparing budget requests and proposals in June for the next fiscal year. The city’s fiscal year begins on January 1. In preparing the 2027 operating budget, staff were Page 10 of 155 Budget Memo Page 7 directed to keep existing levels of service the same as provided in 2026. Additional items 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: •General Fund 75% •Water Revenue Fund $200,000 •Special Park Fund $200,000 •Civil Defense Fund 50% •Street Light District Fund 25% Page 11 of 155 Budget Memo Page 8 General Fund (Fund) Balance. The City’s unassigned general fund balance on 12/31/2025 was $13,185,110. The city has obligated $1,532,399, leaving an estimated unassigned balance of $11,652,711. The proposed FY2027 general fund expenditures are $14,636,361. There is $675,440 available for proposed 2027 budget requests. This dollar amount represents the amount available without going below the 75% required as directed by the city’s fund balance policy. Special Parks Fund (Fund) Balance. The City’s unassigned special parks fund balance on 12/31/2025 was $524,265 The city has obligated $155,095 for 2026, leaving an estimated unassigned balance of $369,170. The council will need to discuss its position regarding the balance of the special parks fund before considering 2027 special parks fund expenditures requests. 2027 PROPOSED PRELIMINARY BUDGET (SUMMARY) Proposed Property Tax Levy The total levy for 2027 is proposed to be $14,772,203 up 3.56% from $14,264,753 in 2026.

For some context, below is a history of levy increases from the past five years: Year Levy Amount % Increase 2022 $11,194,705 6.79% 2023 $11,947,424 6.72% 2024 $12,889,319 7.88% 2025 $13,593,381 5.46% 2026 $14,264,753 4.94% 118% 108%110%104%102% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 UNASSIGNED GENERAL FUND BALANCE SUMMARY Page 12 of 155 Budget Memo Page 9 General Fund Budget The proposed 2027 budget is structurally balanced. The proposed 2027 general fund budget of $14,636,361 represents an increase of 4.81% from FY2026. Budget Requests For FY2027, there are 35 budget requests totaling $1,539,590, which are expenditures not otherwise provided for in the operating budget. Proposals have been reviewed by staff and are respectfully submitted for city council consideration. If approved, the city council will need to decide on a source of funding for each additional approved item. Budget Adoption and Calendar The timeline for the preparation of the City’s 2026 budget is as follows: City Council Budget Work Sessions The city council has scheduled budget work sessions for the following: •August 18; 4:30 pm •August 20; 4:30 pm •August 26; 4:30 pm The city council will review the proposed budget with staff, who then adjust the preliminary budget for any changes the council recommends.

For 2027, this approval will take place at the September 15 city council meeting. The adoption of the preliminary property tax levy sets the maximum amount permissible. After September 30, the amount may be decreased, but not increased, when the final certified 2027 levy is adopted. Public Meeting The city is required to hold a meeting at which the budget and levy will be discussed and the public allowed to speak. The meeting must be held after November 25 and no later than December 28 and must be held at 6:00 pm or later.

The explorers were hand downs from the police department. One of the vehicles has needed repairs that would exceed the vehicle value. The city should replace the vehicle rather than make necessary repairs. The budget request includes a new vehicle, but there may be an opportunity to receive new replacements from the police department. If the city is able to buy back current police vehicles, staff would propose to replace both Ford Explorers with the Investigators Explorer, and the Chiefs van. 46,000.00 Spring 2027 Budget Requests Page 3 of 72 Page 81 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

The survey provides a scientifically valid assessment of residents' perceptions of the City's services, quality of life, and overall community livability.The survey measures resident feedback across key service areas, including:Economy, Mobility and Transportation, Community Design, Utilities, Public Safety, Natural Environment, Parks and Recreation, Health and Wellness, Education, Arts, and Culture. Unlike informal surveys, The NCS uses a statistically valid methodology that allows the City to benchmark results against hundreds of comparable communities nationwide and measure changes in resident perceptions over time. The results provide reliable data to inform strategic planning, budget decisions, service improvements, and performance measurement. In order to track this data over time, staff recommends administering this survey every other year. 20,000.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 5 of 72 Page 83 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

Staff have identified three categories of performance measures: Output, Outcome, and Perception. While operational data can measure outputs and outcomes, resident perception can only be accurately measured through a scientifically valid community survey.The National Community Survey provides the perception data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of City programs and services, identify community priorities, measure progress toward strategic goals, and support data-driven decision-making. There would be no immediate impact to public health or safety. However, the City would lack reliable resident perception data needed to evaluate Key Performance Indicators, measure community satisfaction, benchmark performance against peer communities, and identify opportunities for service improvements. The City could conduct surveys using free or low-cost tools such as Google Forms; however, these surveys are not scientifically valid and are subject to self-selection bias. As a result, they do not provide statistically reliable results or meaningful benchmarking against other communities. The National Community Survey provides a representative sample and nationally recognized benchmarking data, making it a significantly more valuable tool for performance measurement and long-term strategic planning. 20,000.00 20,000.00 20,000.00 ongoing Budget Requests Page 6 of 72 Page 84 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The platform allows staff to organize, search, store, and share media assets while maintaining consistent branding and improving collaboration across departments. PhotoShelter will serve as the City's official repository for photography and video content used in communications, marketing, social media, newsletters, the website, presentations, and other public information materials. The platform also supports metadata tagging, permission-based access, and streamlined distribution of media to staff and external partners. Photo and video content are subject to copyright, licensing, and accessibility (ADA) requirements that must be managed to reduce the City's legal and financial risk. With the City's decentralized communications model, in which staff across multiple departments contribute communication content, a centralized digital asset management system helps ensure that only approved, properly licensed, and accessible media are used. This supports organization-wide compliance, promotes consistent branding, preserves institutional knowledge, and improves the staffing efficiencies gained through the City's collaborative communications approach. 12,500.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 7 of 72 Page 85 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

As the City's media library continues to grow, a centralized digital asset management system is essential to efficiently organize assets, maintain compliance with copyright and accessibility requirements, and ensure staff have access to approved media. PhotoShelter improves workflow efficiency, reduces duplication of effort, and supports consistent communications across all departments. There would be no direct impact on public health or safety. However, staff would continue relying on decentralized storage methods that increase the risk of using outdated, unlicensed, or inaccessible media, make assets more difficult to locate, reduce staff efficiency, and create potential legal liability related to copyright or accessibility compliance. Without additional software, there may need to be additional staff hours allocated to training and maintenance of the city's digital photo and media files in order to meet legal mandates. The City currently stores media across network drives and cloud storage platforms. While these systems provide file storage, they do not offer the digital asset management capabilities needed to efficiently organize, search, manage permissions, track licensing, or support accessibility requirements. PhotoShelter is purpose-built for managing visual media and provides the tools necessary to support the City's communications program, reduce organizational risk, and improve staff efficiency. 12,500.00 12,500.00 12,500.00 12,500.00 12,500.00 ongoing Budget Requests Page 8 of 72 Page 86 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

As workloads continue to increase, AI tools can help staff complete routine tasks more efficiently, potentially reducing the need for additional staffing while maintaining or improving service levels. Investing in these tools now also allows employees to develop proficiency with technology that is rapidly becoming a standard business practice across both the public and private sectors. There would be no direct impact on public health or safety. However, the City would miss an opportunity to improve operational efficiency and employee productivity. As AI tools become increasingly integrated into everyday business operations, delaying adoption may result in lost efficiencies, slower service delivery, and increased pressure to meet growing workloads through additional staffing rather than technology. It may also place the City behind peer organizations that are incorporating AI into their operations. An alternative is allowing employees to use publicly available AI tools, such as the free version of ChatGPT or other consumer AI applications. While these tools may provide similar functionality, they do not offer the security, governance, compliance, and administrative controls required for municipal operations. Microsoft Copilot operates within the City's existing Microsoft 365 environment and is governed by the City's identity management, security, compliance, and data protection policies. This helps safeguard confidential City information, reduces the risk of unauthorized data sharing, supports records retention and data governance requirements, and provides employees with an approved platform for AI-assisted work. 11,310.00 11,310.00 11,310.00 11,310.00 11,310.00 ongoing costs Budget Requests Page 12 of 72 Page 90 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The anticipated 2027 cost is $74,135, which includes: Security as a Service and Vulnerability Management Program. These are ongoing operating costs associated with the City's participation in the LOGIS cybersecurity program. The Vulnerability Management Program also includes billable professional services to address vulnerabilities identified through ongoing monitoring and assessments. It is anticipated that remediation costs will be highest during the initial implementation year and decrease over time as identified vulnerabilities are addressed and the City's overall cybersecurity posture improves. 74,135.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 13 of 72 Page 91 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

While the City can continue operating without these enhanced services, doing so increases the likelihood and potential impact of cybersecurity incidents. Participation in the LOGIS cybersecurity program strengthens the City's ability to proactively identify vulnerabilities, monitor threats, respond to security incidents, and recover more effectively should an incident occur. These services complement the City's existing technology infrastructure and help reduce operational, financial, legal, and reputational risks associated with cyberattacks. If this request is not approved, the City will have fewer resources available to proactively identify and address cybersecurity threats. In the event of a significant cybersecurity incident, the City would likely need to procure emergency cybersecurity consulting and incident response services at potentially higher costs than participating in the ongoing LOGIS program. A successful cyberattack could disrupt City operations, delay services to residents, compromise sensitive information, and require substantial unplanned expenditures to restore systems and recover data. LOGIS is not able to provide cybersecurity services in the case of an incident outside of this program. Participating in these services builds on the city's existing relationship with LOGIS and supports comprehensive IT services. Separating services between vendors could introduce gaps in the city's IT infrastructure, create communication challenges and create consistencies of operations. 74,135.00 74,135.00 74,135.00 74,135.00 74,135.00 ongoing costs Budget Requests Page 14 of 72 Page 92 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

Staff reviewed an Owl system. The Owl is a USB conferencing camera with built‑in microphones that would connect directly to the City Council Chamber PC for use with platforms like WebEx/Zoom. It cannot interface with the Council Chamber AV system for audio output. Using the Owl would require running a virtual meeting on the City PC and recording it through the conferencing platform. Additionally, this option does not feed Owl audio into the room’s sound system, so ADA Hearing Assist devices would not function for in‑person attendees. 18,000.00 Budget Requests Page 16 of 72 Page 94 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

However, it supports the City's transition to digital materials by improving access to meeting materials and reducing reliance on printed documents. Providing standardized City-owned devices also ensures that all Council members have consistent access to the same technology and allows the City to manage security, software updates, and device support. There would be no direct impact on public health or safety. If the request is not approved, the City may continue producing paper meeting packets or adopt a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) approach. Either option would reduce some of the operational efficiencies associated with standardized City-issued devices. Continued reliance on paper packets would also result in ongoing printing, paper, and distribution costs. The City may continuing to provide printed meeting packets or allowing Council members to use their own personal devices. Continuing with printed packets would maintain ongoing printing and distribution costs and would not support the City's goal of transitioning to a more efficient digital meeting process. A bring-your-own-device approach would eliminate the City's hardware cost but would result in varying device capabilities, inconsistent user experiences, and limited ability for the City to manage security settings, software updates, and technical support. Providing standardized City-owned devices ensures all Council members have reliable access to meeting materials on equipment configured and supported by the City. 5,720.00 5 5 year replacement schedule Budget Requests Page 18 of 72 Page 96 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The current boat is specifically intended for water operations and the inflatable rescue craft is more suitable for ice/cold water rescue operations. The current inability to launch a motorized boat for operations on these lakes is a gap in our abilities that hinders the ability of the department to respond effectively, and as expected, to rescue situations during the spring, summer and fall on these bodies of water. We are requesting a increase of $4,000 to the 2027 Operating Supplies and Equipment budget, from $21,000 to $25,000. A suitable boat and needed equipment has been identified at a current cost of approx $7,500.

There are no full-time department staff or support staff within the city. The paid-on-call fire chief and assistant chief are responsible for all management and administrative functions, with the assistance of a shared administrative coordinator on city staff (resource shared with city public works, engineering and city clerk). Increasing demands have brought the administrative workload near or beyond the capacity of current leadership to complete tasks efficiently and in a timely manner. The City seeks an objective assessment of the Fire Department's administrative structure and organizational needs, including recommendations regarding the resources and administrative model necessary to sustain the Department's paid-on-call service delivery model. As part of that assessment, the consultant will evaluate whether establishing a full-time Fire Chief position or other administrative support would improve organizational effectiveness and long-term sustainability. 15,500 Q2 - 2027 n n n n Budget Requests Page 25 of 72 Page 103 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

This is not unique to MHFD, it is being experienced by departments across the region, state, and country. This study will provide an independent assessment of whether the City's current administrative structure is sufficient to support those responsibilities over the long term. The intent is to proactively identify opportunities to strengthen administrative capacity so the City can continue operating a successful paid-on-call fire department for as long as practical. Without an independent assessment, the City will have less information on which to base future decisions regarding the Department's administrative structure. As administrative demands continue to grow, there is an increased risk that important management functions including compliance, planning, policy development, training oversight, and program administration will become increasingly difficult to sustain. This study is intended to help the City proactively address those challenges before they begin affecting organizational effectiveness or service delivery. n The primary alternative is to continue operating under the current administrative structure without conducting a formal assessment. While this would avoid the immediate cost of the study, it would require the City to make future organizational decisions without the benefit of an independent, data-driven evaluation. Another alternative would be to rely solely on internal staff recommendations; however, an objective third-party review provides greater credibility, incorporates comparisons with similar communities and departments, and offers unbiased recommendations that can better inform future policy and budget decisions. 15,500 n n n Budget Requests Page 26 of 72 Page 104 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

These specialized air bags are used to safely lift and stabilize heavy objects during rescue operations, including motor vehicle crashes, industrial incidents, machinery entrapments, and structural collapse situations where victims may be trapped beneath heavy loads. The department's current air bag system is aging and approaching the end of its useful service life. Due to the life-safety nature of this equipment, reliability is essential, and replacement components and manufacturer support have become increasingly limited. Replacing the system will ensure firefighters have dependable equipment capable of safely performing technical rescue operations when needed. The requested funding of $15,000 will provide a complete replacement system, including lifting bags, hoses, controllers, and necessary accessories, allowing the department to maintain this important rescue capability. 15,000.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 27 of 72 Page 105 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

They provide a controlled method of lifting and stabilizing vehicles, machinery, and structural components while rescue personnel remove victims. Maintaining this capability is an important component of the department's technical rescue response. The department will be forced to continue relying on equipment that has exceeded its intended service life and may become increasingly difficult to maintain. Failure or unavailability of this equipment during a rescue incident could delay victim extrication, increase risks to trapped victims, and reduce firefighter safety during technical rescue operations. The department considered continuing to maintain the existing system; however, its age, limited manufacturer support, and declining reliability make this an increasingly impractical option. Mutual aid agencies may possess similar equipment, but relying on outside resources could delay rescue operations during incidents where time is critical. 15,000.00 10 Budget Requests Page 28 of 72 Page 106 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The AV system supports department and City meetings and is also intended to support emergency operations if the City needs to activate the room as an Emergency Operations Center. The existing AV system has malfunctioned and is no longer operational. The proposed project would replace the existing system with a value-engineered AV system designed to restore functionality while simplifying the system and reducing complexity. The proposed system includes a new control processor, touchscreen controller, HDMI matrix switcher, distribution amplifiers, and associated cabling. The system would allow content from multiple sources to be distributed to the displays in the training room and conference room. The proposed system is similar in functionality and operation to the AV system installed in the City Hall Council Chambers. Aligning the AV technology between City facilities will provide greater consistency for staff using the systems and simplify training, maintenance, troubleshooting, and ongoing support. The proposed system represents a simplified approach compared to the technology originally installed in the training room. Advancements in AV technology allow the City to meet its current meeting and emergency operations needs with a less complex system while maintaining the necessary functionality. 18,400.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 29 of 72 Page 107 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

Without an operational AV system, the Fire Station training room cannot fully accommodate the technology needs of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC). In the event of an emergency requiring activation of the EOC, reliable audiovisual technology is necessary to support communication, information sharing, coordination, and decision-making.The lack of functioning AV technology also significantly limits the City's ability to use the space effectively for department and City training, reducing the functionality of an existing City facility. Staff have been working to troubleshoot and repair the existing AV system; however, the complexity of the system and challenges with vendor support have made correcting the issues difficult. The current vendor does not have local technicians available to service the equipment. While staff could replace some individual components, there is no guarantee that replacing individual components would resolve the underlying system issues. Staff have tried to identify ways to fix the existing system however without a technician to evaluate the whole system, a piece by a piece approach may not address the issue resulting in unknown excessive costs. Additionally, the system was designed when the Fire Station was originally constructed and is more complex than is necessary to meet the City's current needs given advancements in AV technology. Continuing to maintain or replace components within the existing system could result in higher ongoing costs to support a more complex system than is needed. Staff are continuing to evaluate whether a lower-cost alternative could provide the necessary functionality. At this time, no lower-cost solution has been identified that would provide a reliable replacement for the existing system. The proposed AV system therefore represents the current known option to restore functionality while simplifying the system and reducing the challenges associated with maintaining the existing technology. 18,404.00 n/a Budget Requests Page 30 of 72 Page 108 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The intended goal of the plan is to reduce risks, mitigate and adapt to climate impacts, and build a more resilient community that is specific to Mendota Heights. The Metropolitan Council has adopted a comprehensive regional plan, Imagine 2050, establishing a vision guiding growth and development across the Twin Cities metropolitan region over the next three decades. The Metropolitan Council has set a policy within its 2050 Plan to 'Support integration of climate adaptation measures into development to prepare for current and projected climate impacts on our region, as required in the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Minn. Stat. §473.859). (Met Council/Local Government)'. As part of local communities Comprehensive Plan 2050 Updates, communities such as Mendota Heights will be required to incorporate a climate element into its comprehensive plan update. If a Climate and Resilience Plan is developed for Mendota Heights, this could be used to fulfill this required element.

A Climate Action and Resilience Plan would be created with the goal of identifying and developing strategies to mitigate for the impacts of climate on natural resources but also mitigate and prepare for impacts on the city's infrastructure, emergency services, and other critical community resources and services. Increase in severity of weather events, decreased air quality, and temperature increases all negatively impact our natural resources as well as human health. A plan is critical in planning and mitigating for these impacts. Without a plan in place, the city may be at greater risk and severity of climate impacts, affecting human health as well as natural resources. This forces the city to make unplanned adjustments and costly repairs that put residents’ safety and health at risk as well as degrade the community as a whole and the quality of life for all residents. An alternative could be incorporating the required climate planning measures into the Comprehensive Plan 2050 Update without creating a stand-alone plan. While this may meet the requirements of the 2050 Update, it would not be as detailed and thorough as a stand-alone plan, nor address the unique aspects and challenges specific to Mendota Heights. 50,000.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 20-30 None.

Valley Park is a unique and diverse park that includes traditional recreational services to residents and users such as a playground, a baseball field, pedestrian and bike trails, a tennis court, and picnic shelter. It also contains approximately 85 acres of natural area that serves as a wildlife corridor connecting to the Mississippi River, providing important bird habitat. Interstate Valley Creek flows through the length of the park, one of the few remaining daylighted streams in the metro area, especially the inner metro area, connecting directly to the Mississippi River. This large natural area contains over 50 acres of forest land, 17 acres of mature woodland, 20 acres of wetland, and multiple mature oak knolls. All of these factors make Valley Park a valuable ecological resource and amenity for the community to enjoy. However, with the large area and diverse habitats it contains, comes several challenges. There are multiple on-going restoration projects within Valley Park, as well as some that have been completed, and some yet to be implemented. A NRMP specific to Valley Park is being requested to create a comprehensive plan that ties all of these projects together and creates a strategy for implementation, as well as future management and maintenance.

However, changing recreation trends, demographics, accessibility needs, and park user expectations means portions of the park are no longer meeting the needs of today's residents, and some park spaces are underutilized or no longer functioning as efficiently as intended. This request would fund the development of a park-specific master plan for Mendakota Park. The City would retain a qualified parks planning consultant to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the existing site, assess current conditions, identify opportunities and constraints, and develop a long-term vision for the park. The planning process would include robust community engagement and collaboration with City staff, residents, neighborhood stakeholders, and key user groups. Through this engagement, the consultant would help identify community priorities, evaluate potential improvements and redevelopment scenarios, estimate associated capital costs, and develop an implementation strategy that aligns with the City's long-term park and recreation goals. The completed master plan will provide City leadership with a data-driven framework for future investment decisions, ensuring Mendakota Park continues to meet the recreational needs of current and future generations while maximizing the value and use of one of the City's premier park facilities. 40,000.00 Spring 2027 Budget Requests Page 37 of 72 Page 115 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

The planning process will engage residents and key stakeholders, identify the highest-priority needs, evaluate multiple design alternatives, estimate project costs, and establish a phased implementation strategy. This will enable the Parks and Recreation Department to make informed capital investment decisions, pursue grant funding with shovel-ready concepts, coordinate improvements with community partners and ensure limited public resources are invested where they will have the greatest long-term benefit. Without a comprehensive master plan, aging infrastructure and underutilized park spaces will continue to operate below their full potential, limiting opportunities to enhance recreation programs, improve accessibility, increase operational efficiency, and better serve residents of all ages and abilities. The City will also be less competitive for grant funding, as many state and regional funding opportunities prioritize projects supported by an adopted master plan and demonstrated community engagement. From a safety perspective, the planning process provides an opportunity to identify circulation conflicts, accessibility deficiencies, aging amenities, and other site design issues before they become more significant concerns. Delaying this effort may result in continued investment in facilities that no longer align with current standards or community needs, while postponing improvements that could enhance user safety and the overall park experience. As part of the City's comprehensive Park System Master Plan completed in 2024, Mendakota Park received a high-level assessment. During that planning process, the consultant, City staff, and community members identified Mendakota Park as a unique site that warranted additional, park-specific planning due to its size, complexity, level of use, and long-term importance to the community. The Park System Master Plan specifically recommends developing a standalone master plan for Mendakota Park to more thoroughly evaluate the site's opportunities, constraints, athletic facilities, circulation, amenities, and future programming needs. Community engagement conducted during the system-wide planning process also demonstrated strong interest in reimagining the park to better reflect current recreation trends, improve functionality, and maximize the use of the space. 40,000.00 Unkown Unknown Budget Requests Page 38 of 72 Page 116 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

Replacing the deteriorated roof and concrete slab will preserve the structural integrity of the shelter and prevent more costly repairs or replacement in the future. Modernizing the shelter with improved electrical service, additional lighting, and aesthetic enhancements will better accommodate community rentals and programs while creating a consistent level of quality across the City's park system. Delaying these improvements will likely accelerate deterioration, increase long-term maintenance costs, and diminish the quality of the park experience for residents and visitors. If this request is not approved, the condition of the Rogers Lake Park picnic shelter will continue to decline, resulting in increased maintenance needs and higher long-term repair or replacement costs. The deteriorating roof and concrete slab may create safety concerns for park users as the facility ages, while inadequate lighting reduces visibility during evening park hours and diminishes the overall user experience. The shelter's limited electrical capacity also restricts its functionality for community events, family gatherings, and rentals, reducing the level of service residents expect from one of the City's most heavily used park facilities. As neighboring park shelters have been modernized, the Rogers Lake shelter no longer provides a consistent standard of quality within the City's park system. 195,000.00 30 0 Budget Requests Page 40 of 72 Page 118 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The park contains four baseball/softball fields with protective netting installed around the primary spectator viewing areas to help prevent foul balls and other errant balls from striking spectators. The existing netting was installed in 1999 and has exceeded its expected service life. After more than 25 years of exposure to sunlight, weather, and regular use, the material has deteriorated and is showing visible signs of wear. To maximize its lifespan, Public Works staff removes the netting each fall and reinstalls it each spring. While this seasonal maintenance practice has successfully extended the life of the system, continued aging and prolonged UV exposure have reduced the netting's overall strength and effectiveness. Replacing the spectator safety netting will restore the protective barrier, maintain a safe viewing environment for park users, and reduce the risk of injuries caused by foul or errant balls. The replacement will also improve the long-term reliability of the facility, minimize the potential for in-season failures and emergency repairs, and ensure the ballfields continue to meet the safety expectations of players, spectators, and the community. 60,000.00 Spring, 2027 Budget Requests Page 41 of 72 Page 119 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

The protective netting is an important safety feature of the ballfield complex. Maintaining it in good condition is essential to providing a safe environment for spectators and reducing the City's liability exposure. Failure to replace the deteriorated netting will increase the risk of spectators being struck by foul balls or other errant balls, potentially resulting in serious injuries. As the netting continues to deteriorate, the likelihood of failures during the playing season will increase, creating safety concerns, unexpected maintenance costs, and potential disruptions to scheduled games and tournaments. Replacing the netting proactively helps protect park visitors, preserves a high-quality recreational facility, and demonstrates the City's commitment to providing safe public amenities. Yes. Public Works staff has extended the life of the existing safety netting through proactive maintenance, including removing and reinstalling the netting each season and patching damaged sections as they have developed. While these efforts have delayed replacement, the netting has now reached the end of its useful life. The areas where the netting attaches to the support cables and hardware have deteriorated to the point where they can no longer be effectively repaired, and additional patching is no longer a viable or safe long-term solution. Complete replacement is the most practical and cost-effective option to restore the system's integrity and ensure spectator safety. 60,000.00 25 0 Budget Requests Page 42 of 72 Page 120 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

Since installation, the acrylic surfacing has experienced cracking and deterioration. The underlying rink surface was not repaved at the time of installation and consists of a coarse exposed aggregate base, which contributes to surface irregularities and long-term wear. Seasonal use of the rink for ice skating—specifically the annual flooding and freeze/thaw cycle—also contributes to ongoing surface movement and deterioration, further impacting the integrity of the acrylic playing surface and accelerating cracking over time. This project includes resurfacing the courts with a new blue acrylic system to restore playability and improve surface consistency. Following the application of the acrylic surface, the courts will be re-lined to ensure proper court markings and regulation play layout. 30,000.00 Summer 2027 Budget Requests Page 45 of 72 Page 123 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

If not addressed, continued cracking and degradation of the acrylic surface will create increasing safety concerns, including trip hazards and inconsistent playing conditions. As the surface condition declines, the courts will become increasingly difficult to maintain and will ultimately become unplayable, resulting in loss of recreational programming space and reduced public access to a highly utilized amenity. Resurfacing is necessary to preserve safe, functional, and accessible court conditions for community use. If this resurfacing project is not approved, the condition of the pickleball courts at Friendly Hills Park will continue to deteriorate due to existing cracking in the acrylic surface and ongoing stress from seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and annual ice flooding of the rink. Over time, the surface will present increasing trip hazards, inconsistent ball bounce, and unsafe playing conditions, creating a potential risk to user safety. Continued degradation will also reduce accessibility and discourage use by residents of all ages and abilities.Without intervention, the courts will eventually become unplayable, Dedicated pickleball courts have been studied, but there is no current location to construct new courts. 30,000.00 6 0 Budget Requests Page 46 of 72 Page 124 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

While the main play structure was replaced in 2011, the swing set was not included in that project and remains original to the park, making it one of the oldest playground components in the City's park system. Over the past several years, Public Works staff have noticed an increasing number of playground components requiring repair or replacement due to age, wear, and deterioration. Based on the condition of the equipment and ongoing maintenance demands, Public Works has identified Kensington Park as the City's highest-priority playground for replacement. The project would replace the existing play equipment, including the original swing set, with modern, durable, and accessible equipment that meets current safety and accessibility standards. Replacing the playground now will improve the user experience, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, minimize service disruptions caused by equipment closures, and ensure Kensington Park continues to provide a safe and enjoyable neighborhood destination for years to come. 230,000.00 Summer 2027 Budget Requests Page 47 of 72 Page 125 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

As scheduled league play increases, providing safe and functional player areas becomes an expected amenity that supports the City's recreation partnerships and enhances the quality of the facility. Without dugouts, players will continue to sit in open areas adjacent to the field, leaving them more exposed to foul balls and other on-field activity. The lack of shade during summer games can also impact player comfort, particularly during extended periods of play. As Friendly Hills Park continues to host league games, the absence of dugouts will diminish the overall player experience and leave the facility below the standard amenities provided by the City at other sites. 24,000.00 25 0 Budget Requests Page 50 of 72 Page 128 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

The addition of the .5 FTE crime analyst position has aided the department in solving several crimes that may have otherwise gone inactive or unsolved. The need for the skills and abilities of the crime analyst already exceeds the hours of a .5 FTE position. Currently, the police department has (1) FTE records tech, (2) .5 FTE record techs, and (1) .5 FTE crime analyst. This request is to transition .5 FTE records tech hours to the crime analyst position and backfill the record tech hours with a new .5 FTE records tech. The budgeted amount below encompasses the wages and benefits increase for the crime analyst and records tech positions. 64,030.00 Quarter 1 Budget Requests Page 51 of 72 Page 129 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

These increases add to the amount of time it takes for an investigation to conclude. To maintain the level of service the citizens expect from the police department, additional staff hours are needed. If not approved, the investigation's division will need modify the way cases are prioritized to ensure those with the greatest chance of being solved are investigated first. The could push some cases to be inactive, thereby decreasing the chance of them being solved as time passes and affecting the level of service to the citizens. One alternative to the proposed request is adding another investigator. The Mendota Heights Police Department had two investigators until 2016. That year, the police department went from two investigators to one. However, the complexity of today's cases continues to increase, thereby increasing the time needed for investigating many of them. Although adding an investigator has been considered as an alternative, much of the type of work needed to further investigate crimes can be conducted by an analyst. At this time, adding hours to the current analyst position if the fiscally responsible was to maintain a high level of service for the community.

Based on operational experience, the current loader is larger than necessary for many of the City's snow removal operations. A properly sized replacement will improve maneuverability, increase efficiency, and enhance operator safety while maintaining the loader's ability to perform year-round material handling tasks. The proposed loader would be equipped with a modern front-mounted snowplow similar to the City's compact loader, allowing it to efficiently clear parking lots, cul-de-sacs, and other confined areas where larger equipment is less effective. Using the loader for parking lots and cul-de-sacs will also reduce wear and tear on the City's pickup trucks, which currently perform much of this work. In addition, the loader would serve as a backup unit for street snowplowing operations during major snow events or equipment downtime.The loader would also be equipped with a mid-mount wing, providing the ability to bench back boulevard snow throughout the winter. This feature will help maintain roadway width, improve sightlines, increase snow storage capacity, and reduce the frequency of snow hauling operations. Outside of winter operations, the loader will continue to perform the same loading, stockpile management, and general Public Works duties as the current machine, ensuring year-round utilization and maximizing the City's investment. 230,000.00 Spring 2027 Budget Requests Page 53 of 72 Page 131 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

Currently, staff utilizes a three-point Vicon vibratory fertilizer spreader and a golf course sprayer to apply fertilizers, pre-emergent herbicides, and broadleaf weed control products. While this equipment has served the department well, it is best suited for large, open turf areas and is not efficient for the smaller, more detailed applications required throughout neighborhood parks, City Hall, the Fire Station, and other municipal properties. In addition, the Spray Master can be used to assist the Natural Resources Division with site preparation for native plantings and targeted weed control in restoration areas and other locations throughout the city. The proposed Spray Master combines granular and liquid application capabilities into a single compact machine, allowing staff to accurately apply fertilizers, herbicides, and other turf products with one piece of equipment. Its compact size and maneuverability enable staff to make precise, targeted applications rather than treating entire turf areas when only isolated sections require maintenance. This supports the department's goal of reducing overall fertilizer and chemical usage while ensuring products are applied only where needed and at the proper rates. 25,000.00 Spring 2027 Budget Requests Page 55 of 72 Page 133 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

Research has shown that vibratory fertilizer spreaders can fracture slow-release fertilizer granules during the application process. When these granules are damaged, they may lose their intended slow-release characteristics, reducing fertilizer effectiveness and increasing the potential for nutrient runoff. Nutrient runoff is considered an illicit discharge which can feed algal blooms in lakes, rivers, and ponds. This is a known technology. Applying fertilizer and herbicides has limited variation in technologies. 25,000.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 15 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 Budget Requests Page 56 of 72 Page 134 of 155 Budget Requests Page 57 of 72Page 135 of 155 Budget Requests Page 58 of 72 This page is intentionally left blank Page 136 of 155 FY2027 BUDGET REQUEST Project/Item Name: Department: Contact by: Department Priority Rank: # of SECTION 1.

Both units are used daily during the non-winter months for park and facility maintenance and are relied upon during every snow event to clear pedestrian walkways throughout the city. The oldest existing gator continues to operate well and the City's mechanic believes it has many years of useful service remaining if it is no longer subjected to the heavy demands of snowplowing. Staff proposes retaining the existing unit for summer operations while placing a new utility vehicle into winter service. A secondary option could also repurpose one of the existing machines by converting to a tracked machine in the winter and groom cross country ski trails on the Par 3 golf course. Adding a third utility vehicle to the fleet will also improve operational efficiency during the summer months when seasonal staffing levels increase. With multiple crews working simultaneously, an additional vehicle allows staff to complete work more efficiently without waiting for equipment to become available. It will also allow the infield groomer to remain attached to one utility vehicle throughout the baseball season, eliminating the need to repeatedly remove and reinstall attachments for other tasks. 42,000.00 Spring 2026 Budget Requests Page 59 of 72 Page 137 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

A forestry mulching head is designed to efficiently clear brush, dense vegetation, and trees up to approximately 5 inches in diameter by grinding the material into mulch that is left on the ground. This process eliminates the need to collect, haul, or burn debris, significantly reducing labor and cleanup time. Staff had the opportunity to demo a forestry mulching attachment this past year and was extremely impressed with its performance, efficiency, and versatility. The attachment proved capable of quickly clearing areas that would otherwise require significant manual labor with chainsaws, brush cutters, and hauling equipment. This attachment would provide year-round benefits for multiple City operations, including: • Clearing vegetation within off-road sanitary sewer easements to maintain access for inspections and maintenance. • Cleaning up stormwater ponds and drainage areas by removing unwanted brush and woody vegetation. • Brushing back vegetation along trails and pedestrian pathways to improve safety and visibility. • Removing invasive species, including buckthorn, from parks, natural areas, and other City-owned property. • Assisting with storm cleanup by processing fallen trees and brush into mulch. 30,000.00 Spring 2026 Budget Requests Page 61 of 72 Page 139 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

The current drain is showing early signs of deterioration and structural failure due to years of heavy use and exposure to water, road salts, and freeze-thaw conditions. This trench drain collects all water generated inside the garage, including runoff from snow-covered equipment and truck washing operations. During the winter months, when equipment washing is at its highest, the existing drain is unable to adequately handle the volume of water, resulting in frequent backups and reduced drainage capacity. Staff has worked with a contractor to design a replacement drainage system that will improve performance and increase the service life of the facility. The existing trench drain will be removed and replaced with a precast sloped trench drain system that provides positive flow throughout its length. The new system will be set in concrete and equipped with epoxy-coated ductile iron grates to provide superior strength, corrosion resistance, and durability in a high-traffic, salt-exposed environment. 25,000.00 Spring 2026 Budget Requests Page 63 of 72 Page 141 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

The existing machine is a 2017 Bobcat wheeled skid steer that has provided reliable service but has reached the point in its replacement cycle where planning for its replacement is appropriate. The skid steer is a year-round piece of equipment that plays an important role in daily Public Works operations. During the winter months, it is used extensively for snow removal operations, including clearing cul-de-sacs, sweeping pedestrian walkways, blowing snow in confined areas, and assisting with cleanup after larger snow events. Its compact size and maneuverability allow staff to efficiently do maintenance that bigger equipment cannot accomplish. During the non-winter months, the skid steer is shared among multiple Public Works divisions and is utilized with a wide variety of attachments to perform numerous maintenance tasks. These include material handling, grading, landscaping, park maintenance, construction support, and other general Public Works operations. Its versatility makes it one of the department's most frequently used pieces of equipment. 70,000.00 Spring 2026 Budget Requests Page 65 of 72 Page 142 of 154Page 143 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

This increase equates to approximately $560 per firefighter, bringing the total City contribution to $8,560 per firefighter per year. This request aligns with prior City Council direction to transition toward a predictable percentage-based funding methodology rather than periodic fixed-dollar increases. The 7% increase was not arbitrarily selected; it was developed through evaluation of multiple factors, including retirement contribution increases in comparable departments and overall City budget trends. The requested increase represents a proactive approach to maintaining the value of the pension benefit over time and reducing the likelihood of larger, reactive increases in the future. The pension remains one of the department’s most important recruitment and retention tools and supports the long-term viability of Mendota Heights’ paid-on-call fire department model. 20,160.00 2027 Budget Requests Page 71 of 72 Page 149 of 155 Is the request critical to the function of the requesting department?  Yes  No If yes, how and why is it critical?

Maintaining a competitive retirement benefit helps retain experienced firefighters, encourages long-term service, and supports the continued success of the City's cost-effective paid-on-call fire department model. The requested increase is intended to be proactive rather than reactive. Incremental, percentage-based adjustments help preserve the value of the pension benefit over time, maintain competitiveness with neighboring departments, and reduce the likelihood that larger funding increases will be needed in the future. Maintaining a competitive retirement benefit supports the long-term stability of the department and the City's ability to continue providing high-quality fire protection services. The immediate impact of not approving this request would be limited; however, over time the pension benefit may become less competitive relative to broader compensation and retirement trends. Surrounding departments are experiencing notable increases in retirement contributions through PERA, including South Metro (8.8%), Eagan (10.8%), and Inver Grove Heights (13.8%). Without continued incremental adjustments, Mendota Heights risks falling behind these trends. A decline in competitiveness could negatively affect firefighter retention and recruitment over time, ultimately impacting the City’s ability to sustain its paid-on-call staffing model and maintain its current level of fire protection service. This request is intended to preserve long-term stability and avoid the need for larger, reactive increases in the future. Alternatives considered included maintaining the current contribution level, tying future increases to cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), and requesting smaller or larger percentage increases. A 7% increase was selected after evaluating regional retirement contribution trends, City budget trends, and the long-term sustainability of the pension program. While tying future increases to COLA was considered, historical averages would significantly slow benefit growth and reduce the department's competitiveness over time.
