SUBJECT: Funding Food Shelves Serving Crystal Residents
Several years ago, the Council adopted Resolution #2008-56, a policy regarding use of
charitable gambling proceeds. The policy outlines the type of services or organizations
that may receive funds from charitable gambling proceeds and is based on language in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd. 25. This aliowed the Council to provide
funds to local food shelves serving Crystal residents, NEAR and PRISM. In recent
years, the Council has contributed $1,000 to both food shelves and has made these
contributions in March during a state matching grant period.
There are sufficient funds in the charitable gambling proceeds to contribute $1,000 each
to NEAR and PRISM.
The Council should discuss whether to fund NEAR and PRISM for $1,000 each from the
lawful gambling 10% fund in the City Initiative Fund.

Request for Funding Community Mediation Services
Several years ago, the Council adopted Resolution #2008-56, a policy regarding use of
charitable gambling proceeds. The policy outlines the type of services or organizatians
that may receive funds from charitable gambling proceeds and is based an language in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd. 25. This allowed the Councii to provide funds
to local food shelves serving Crystal residents and Community Mediation Services. In
2009, 2010, and 2011, the Council approved funding of $1,OOQ, and in 2012, $1,100, to
Community Mediation Services (CMS).
Recently 1 received the attached invoice (dated April 2013) from CMS requesting $2,000 in
2013. The 2013 caseload included 27 cases involving 46 residents of Crystal. Chief
Revering confirms the Police Department referred 27 cases in 2013 and 34 cases in 2012
to CMS. In addition to mediation services, CMS provides training to Crystal apartmenfi
managers and property awners through Crime Free Housing. CMS also serves as a
resource to the Robbinsdale School District and Hennepin County's Juvenile Advisory
Council.
Qther cities supporting Community Mediation Services include:

St. Louis Park
Community Mediation Services, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization and as such, is qualified
to receive charitable gambling praceeds so the Cauncil could use some of its lawful
gambling 10% fund in City Inifiiative Fund for this request. There are funds in the City
Initiatives Fund for this request (see attached fund balance as of December 31).
The Council should discuss whether to continue to fund Community Mediation Services
and if so, in what amount, from the City Initiatives Fund.

majority of the funds must be used for qualifying housing and redevelopment
activities, but no more than 15°/a may be used for social service activities. At the
time the hearing notice was prepared for publication, the future of the Five Cities

approval of using all of Crystal's allocation of CDBG funds for deferred home
improvement loans.

DATE: February 11, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
Tom Mathisen, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of Cooperative Project Agreement - Study Regarding
DeCola Ponds/Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake Road Flooding
BACKGROUND:
There are flooding issues in the DeCola Ponds and Winnetka Avenue/Medicine Lake
Road area in Golden Valley and New Hope. Several years ago Golden Valley hired
Barr Engineering to complete a study of possible engineering/public works solutions to
reduce or temper flooding in that area. The study report contained several public works
solutions which are cost-prohibitive and so, not realistic. Further discussions between
Golden Valley and Barr Engineering led to the conclusion the flooding issues needed to
be approached as a land use issue which would involve working with neighbors Crystal
and New Hope.
Barr Engineering is prepared to do a study of the land use issues, the cost of which
would be shared among the three cities (Crystal, Golden Valley and New Hope).
Since Crystal is at the proverbial top of the hill, we do contribute water to this area. In
the mid-1990's when the Crystal storm sewer work was done as part of those street
reconstruction projects, the idea was primarily to get storm water off roads and
driveways as quickly as possible. This doesn't necessarily address managing large
amounts of storm water that go to Golden Valley (or anywhere else) with such tools as
retention ponds. The only retention pond that Crystal built in this area as is the small
ponding area that was created in Yunkers Park.
The proposed study would evaluate:
- Reducing impervious surfaces;
- Options for absorbing more water before it gets to Medicine Lake Road and
DeCola Ponds area;
- Long term land uses;
- More green space;
- Reduced road widths and parking areas; and
- Acquiring properties that may currently be impacted by flooding.
1 � \ : _ � 1_� :'
Based on discussion at a work session last May, Crystal sent a letter to Golden Valley
stating concerns and offering to pay some amount towards the cost of the study (not
the amount originally proposed by Golden Valley and New Hope). The cities of Golden
Valley and New Hope requested the Bassett Creek Watershed Commission to initiate
mediation to try to resolve this matter. A mediation committee was created and two
meetings were held to discuss Crystal's concerns as weli as the positions of Golden
Valley and New Hope. Members of the negotiating committee met with the Crystal City
Council on October 15 to hear concerns of the Crystal Council firsthand.
In November, the Mediation Committee recommended to Bassett Creek Watershed
that:
The cost share formula for participation in the study should mirror the cost
share formula used for assessing annual watershed costs;
Include language in the agreement for the study that participation in the study
does not set a precedent for cost sharing in any future studies or projects that
are identified in the study; and
The contingency in the study proposal be eliminated and that any additional
costs beyond the original scope of study would need to be negotiated
between all 3 cities before those costs are incurred.
Attached is a revised Cooperative Project Agreement reflecting the recommendations
of the Mediation Committee.
The study costs have been updated and revised and the total cost of the study is
$110,400. Based on the cost share formula recommended by the Mediation
Committee, Crystal's share is $25,392. Below is the calculation of the three cities'
participation in the study.

DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director
DATE:

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider resolution allocating Community Development
Block Grant funds for Program Year 2014
I�
�
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) provides assistance to
local communities through its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Crystal does not receive funds directly from HUD, but it does receive a specific share of
the funds received by Hennepin County. Crystal's anticipated CDBG allocation is
$106,088 for Program Year ("PY") 2014 which begins July 1, 2014. This amount is
unchanged from the PY 2013 allocation.
To use CDBG funds the city must hold an annual public hearing and adopt an allocation
resofution. The hearing is scheduled for February 18 and the required notice was
published in the Sun Post on February 6. The notice included the Five Cities Senior
Transportation program; however, after publication of the notice, it was determined that
this program would be discontinued
The following Exhibits are attached:
A. List of CDBG direct allocations for Crystal and other Hennepin County suburbs
B. Notice of public hearing
C: Table showing changes in Crystal's allocation, 2009-2014
D:: Funding request -$106,088 for Deferred Home Improvement Loans
E: Funding request -$3,093 for HOMELine Tenant Services
f. Funding request -$5,000 for Avenues for Homeless Youth
G, Proposed resolution allocating CDBG funds for Program Year 2014
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
In order to comply with the CDBG regulations, Hennepin County has implemented the
following guidelines for the use of the city's allocation:
PAGE 1 OF 2
a At least 20% of all housin resultinq from redevelopment, whether new or rehabbed
units, is to be affordable to lower income persons.
Because the deferred home improvement loans are only available to lower income
households, 100% of the housing units receiving assistance will count as being
affordable to lower income persons.
❑ At least 70% will be spent on proqrams that benefit lower income persons.
All of the proposed activities in PY 2014 would benefit lower income persons.
❑ No more than 15% can be spent on activities that provide public services.
15% of the anticipated 2014 allocation would $15,913.
C. FUNDING REQUESTS
1. Deferred Home Improvement Loans (administered by Hennepin County)
$106,088 recommended fundinq in 2014
Since 1982, Crystal has used part of its CDBG allocation to fund deferred home
repair and improvement loans for low income households. Hennepin County
administers the program for the city, as it does for nine other cities including the
five cities adjacent to Crystal. Interest-free loans are made to households up to
50% of inetro area median income. Repayment is deferred for 15 years if the
recipient continues to own and occupy the property. Repayment is required if the
recipient sells the property or moves out within the 15 year period. The annual
allocation is supplemented by program income from repayment of previous loans
2. HOMELine Tenant Services
$3,093 requested fundinq in 2014
$0 recommended
HOMELine provides advocacy services for renters and is requesting $3,093 from
the City of Crystal. Staff opinion is that, while the services HOMELine provides
may be valuable to rental property tenants, the city should not get involved in
providing advocacy for either tenants or rental property owners.
3. Avenues for Homeless Youth
$5,000 requested fundinq in 2014
$0 recommended
Avenues for Homeless Youth proposes to open a shelter in the city of Brooklyn
Park and is requesting $5,000 from the City of Crystal to help pay for an
� overnight counselor at the facility. Staff opinion is that, while it is possible that
this project may, at some point, provide benefits to Crystal residents, the facility
would be located in another city, and staffing the proposed facility is not a core
function of the city of Crystal.
D. REQUESTED ACTION
Adoption of the resolution attached as Exhibit G is recommended. The resolution
includes a clause allowing the City Manager to make adjustments to deal with a
possible increase or decrease in the final allocation once it is finalized.

This will help low income households make necessary repairs that allow them to remain in their homes. It will also help to reduce the number of homes in the community with
significant deferred maintenance problems. These outcomes are high priorities for the City of Crystal in accordance with the Housing chapter in the city's Comprehensive Plan. The
precise number of households served depends on the amount of funding available and the specific home repair needs in each case. The primary accomplishment is to rehab houses
that are owner-occupied by lower income households.

This letter is to request funding in the amount of $3,093 from the City of Crystal's
Community Development Block Grant Program�to support HOME Line's services for
renters.
Last year, our understanding was that we should apply through CDBG, but would be
funded through Crystal's city budget process, as we had been previously funded in
2012. In 2013, we did not receive any funding through the city process. HOME Line
relies on Crystal's support to continue our services. What can we do to ensure that the
funding is incorporated into one of these funding sources?
A copy of the 2014 CDBG Program Request for Funding is enclosed. I am also
enclosing a one-page sheet summarizing our hotline's service to Crystal residents.
HOME Line served 80 families last year in Crystal. 17 of these families faced critical
housing situations involving landlords in foreclosure or evictions. HOME Line's work in
Crystal prevented 7 evictions and saved renters over $10,411 in 2013. The Tenant
Hotline Services provide valuable advice to these families that is important for stabilizing
housing in Crystal.
We appreciated the previous support of the city of Crystal to step up and partner with
HOME Line to provide our services that are vital to city residents. We are hoping Crystal
can return to providing that support, so that we can continue these services.
We thank you for the opportunity to submit this application. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please call me at 612/728-5770, extension 107 or Mike
Vraa, our managing attorney at extension 113.

Summary of HOME Line's Tenant Services Proposal
Renters make up nearly 2,380 households in Crystal, and many of these families have low
incomes. When renters have problems involving their homes, those who don't know their rights
and responsibilities can end up living in housing that is unsafe, lose money that is rightfully
theirs, or make decisions that cost them their home. HOME Line provides renters with the tools
necessary to keep their homes safe and affordable.
HOME Line runs a tenant hotline that provides free legal advice to tenants about landlord/tenant
law. These services help prevent problems ranging from homelessness to illness from unsafe
living conditions, and result in reducing the use of the city's emergency resources. These
services prevent problems ranging from homelessness to illness from unsafe living conditions,
and result in reducing the use of the city's emergency resources.
While our services are available to all renters free of charge, over 95% of our callers in Crystal
are low- income; over three quarters (77%) of these callers are women; 55% are racial
minorities. Our services are aimed at low-income renters.
HOME Line's Tenant Hotline began in 1992 as a service to Suburban Hennepin County
residents. Today, we serve the entire state (excluding Minneapolis) and have recently taken our
159,OOOth call. Five full-time attorneys and one half-time staff attorney work on the hotline
along with 50-75 law student volunteers each year. In 2013, we assisted 80 Crystal renter
households.
In 2013, the Tenant Hotline helped save Crystal renter families an estimated $10,411. We also
helped prevent the evictions of 7 families. The most common reasons Crystal residents call our
hotline are evictions; security deposits, and repairs. The need for this service in Crystal is
apparent -- Crystal residents already rely on this valuable service.
In Crystal in 2014, HOME Line will work with over 80 tenant callers, prevent an estimated 7
evictions, and save tenants over $10,000 in rent abatements and returned security deposits. This
will also mean less burdens on the city and social service providers who work with renters who
face tenant problems and homelessness.
We appreciate the past support of the city of Crystal and hope to continue our successful
partnership in providing these valuable services to Crystal families. The total cost to provide this
service in Crystal is $3,093.
HOME Line's Tenant Hotline in Crystal: 2013
OVERVIEW
In 2013, 80 Crystal renter households contacted HOME Line for Tenant Hotline Services. This
represents service to approximately 200 residents when all family members have been counted. The cost
to serve Crystal in 2013 is $3,093.
HIGHLIGHTS
In 2013, HOME Line helped renters from Crystal:
• Recover and/or save an estimated $10,411.
• Prevent an estimated 7 evictions.
• Renters with repair issues who follow our advice are 37%
more likely to get their problem fixed than those who
don't.
• In landlord foreclosure, the average amount of days
stayed after the sheriff's sale by renters we have helped is
180 days, and the amount of money saved by renters in
landlord foreclosure is $1,187 in 2013.

Dear Mr. Sutter:
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce Avenues for Homeless Youth, and for entertaining an appeal
for financial support. We specifically request funding for Brooklyn Avenues, a proposed 10-bed shelter
and transitional housing program for homeless youth serving the northwest suburbs.
We are hopeful that Crystal will consider a grant of $5,000 to help hire an overnight Youth Counselor for
Brooklyn Avenues. In total, we are requesting $25,000 in CDBG funding from Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn
Center, New Hope and Crystal to support this position. Brooklyn Avenues is being developed in
collaboration with community leaders in the area. The overall fundraising goal for Brooklyn Avenues is
$590,000 per year.
About Minnesota's Homeless Youth
On any night in Minnesota, over 4,000 young people, ages 21 and under, are homeless — they are on
their own and don't have a safe, stable place to sleep. They are literally "surviving the streets." And
Minnesota's population of homeless youth is growing at an alarming rate.
Every three years, Wilder Research conducts a detailed, statewide count of homeless persons in
Minnesota. These numbers are up 2,500 from Wilder's 2009 estimate — a 63% increase! And, according
to Wilder, these are conservative numbers. The actual numbers are likely considerably higher.
About 90% of these youth are on the streets, couch-hopping, riding buses all night, or staying in other
unsafe, unstable situations, including adult shelters. Unfortunately, Minnesota has limited youth-
specific shelter and transitional housing capabilities. At Avenues' North Minneapolis Shelter and
Transitional Housing Program, we are at capacity 100% of the time and have to turn away 6-10 youth
every day.

Brooklvn Avenues
A few months ago, Avenues was approached by community leaders from the northwest suburbs and
asked to consider opening an Avenues shelter and transitional housing program with supportive services
in their community. The population of homeless youth has been rapidly growing in the area, plus there
is a large sex trafficking ring in the area that preys upon homeless youth.
There are no youth-specific, site-based shelter and transitional housing beds for homeless youth in crisis
in the northwest suburbs. The YMCA's Youth Intervention Services has some scattered site transitional
apartments for youth stable enough to earn an income. But most homeless youth do not have adequate
income or the skills to live independently. They need the support of a program like Brooklyn Avenues to
get them on their feet and headed toward successful independent living. Today, their only option is to
leave their home community and head to the city for shelter and services. But the city shelters are full
100% of the time and turn many youth away every day, leaving the suburbs' young people on the
streets.
This proposed project has the strong support of key community leaders, members of the police
departments, leaders of faith-based organizations, partners in the schools and other nonprofit
organizations. Mayor Jeffrey Lunde, who is championing this in Brooklyn Park, led a presentation to the
Economic Development Authority of the City of Brooklyn Park (the city council members acting as EDA).
The EDA voted unanimously to authorize city staff to work with Avenues and other partners to create a
homeless youth housing program Iocated in Brooklyn Park to serve the northwest suburbs.
A Memorandum of Understanding between Brooklyn Park EDA and Avenues for Homeless Youth was
signed on January 13, 2014. The city has identified and is moving forward to purchase property to
acquire and renovate and then lease at no cost to Avenues.
Avenues is partnering with The YMCA Youth Intervention Services, which supports youth in that area
today with street and school outreach and case management, and the Bridge for Youth will be tapped
for family counseling and reunification services. Other nonprofits in the community will be tapped for
additional supportive services, such as nursing consultation, mental health care, job search and training
support, and more.
The community desire for this project is unique and exciting. We have just been awarded a grant
through the State of Minnesota Homeless Youth Act that will provide a base to leverage with community
financial support and, hopefully, additional public funds. We are now seeking both public and private
support.
A fact sheet is enclosed with additional information about this proposed new program.
Avenues for Homeless Youth
Avenues is uniquely qualified to partner with the community to create Brooklyn Avenues. Our mission is
to provide emergency shelter, short term and transitional housing and support services for homeless
youth in a safe and nurturing environment. Through such a service, Avenues seeks to help homeless
youth move from "surviving the streets to thriving young adults."
Avenues has been in existence since 1994 (originally under the name Project Foundation), and was
created to address the lack of safe shelter for homeless young people in the Twin Cities metropolitan
area. There were no shelters in in the metro area specifically designed for homeless youth who could
not be reunified with their families due to abuse, abandonment, neglect or exploitation. Facing adult
issues and a grim future — lack of housing, unemployment, incomplete education and lack of access to
healthcare — many of these young people were moving from youth homelessness and crisis into adult
long term homelessness.
Avenues supports over 200 youth each year. These young people are ages 16 to 21, homeless and on
their own. Current programs include:
Shelter and Transitional Housin� with Supportive Services at our North Minneapolis house for youth
ages 16-21. Program includes: (1) basic needs support - clean bed, three meals per day, personal
hygiene supplies, laundry facilities, clothing and weekly bus passes, 24 hours per day caring by
trained staff, (2) intensive case management services, (3) physical and mental health assessments
and referrals, (4) independent living skills training, (5) youth empowerment and development, and
(6) after-care support.
GLBT Host Home Pro�ram — transitional living arrangements for 10 homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual
and transgender youth and young adults (ages 16-22) in safe, supportive host homes throughout the
Twin Cities metropolitan area.
Suburban Host Home Pro�ram (launched September 2011) —transitional living arrangements for at
least 10 homeless youth from the suburbs of Hennepin County (ages 16-22) in safe, supportive host
homes within the suburbs.
Minneapolis Host Home Pro�ram (launched September 2012) -- transitional living arrangements for
at least 10 homeless youth from Minneapolis (ages 16-22) in safe, supportive host homes within
Minneapolis.
We sincerely hope you will consider this important request for Minnesota's homeless youth and help us
continue to expand the number of homeless youth we serve each year. If you have any questions,
would like a tour or need additional information, please contact me at 612-522-1690, ext. 112 or email
me at tvelasquez@avenuesforvouth.or�.

been concerned and aware of the high need far a safe, local shelter fnr homeless youth in the Northwest

�ver the years, Park Center Senior High has had a cansistently high number of homeless students, particularly
unaccomp�nied minors, who have no adults in their lives providing them with their basic needs. They are
attempting to finish their high schoal education while being hungry and homeless and without emotional
support. There are very limited shelter spaces available in the Metro area and all have been located in the inner
cifiy area. These shelters are most often full with waiting lists, but even if they have an opening, the distance
that our students have to trave( to stay in schaol is offien overwhelming to the point of students dropping out of
schonl.
Park Center has a staff Chat is committed ta continuing the efforts ta su�port and advocate far the basic rreeds
of our many students wha struggle alone to gct their education and improve their lives. We are proud to wark >

To Whom It May Concern,
The Brooklyn Park Police Department emphatically supports the proposed Brooklyn Avenues
Shelter and transitional housing program for homeless youth. The proposed 10-bed facility and
its supporting programs will provide our vulnerable homeless teens a safe place to sleep, and a
respite from their inevitable victimization by predators. It is the painful experience of our
department that homeless teens in Brooklyn Park are the most likely of all populations to be at
risk for physical and sexual assault. This is not acceptable.
As you read this letter, there are teens that are homeless and frightened. By partnering with
Avenues for Homeless Youth, you can bring hope, peace, and safety to hundreds of homeless
teens. The Avenues for Homeless Youth has proven itself as an effective organization and we
feel fortunate to be a partner with them.
Please support the Brooklyn Avenues Shelter and Transitional Housing Program. When you
do, you will save lives.
Respectfully,

To whom it may concern:
Greetings! I write today on behalf of the Brooklyn Area Ministerial Association (BAMA� in support of
efforts to fully fund a safe house for homeless youth in the Brooklyn Park/Center area.
As a Christian ecumenical alliance, we formed a taskforce in January 2011 devoted to studying the rising
number of kids without safe shelter in our community, and how we — as people of deep and committed
faith — were being called to address the rise. In 2011-12, Park Center High School had over 50 kids
identified as homeless; in 2012-13, the number had risen to 80. This number is indicative of what other
area schools are experiencing, and it is why our ecumenical alliance became engaged in the work. In the
last 2 years, we have seen a youth food shelf established, partnered with Families Moving Forward, and
hosted trainings for the Suburban Host Home Program, which trains area families to house a homeless
young person through crisis and into stability.
We celebrate each accomplishment and the young people who have been aided by such efforts to date.
However, we know now that this is not enough - we need a pro�ram to qrovide shelter and transitional
housin� with intensive supports for voung people in crisis in our communitv. And we believe now is the
time to make it happen.
It is an established and unfortunate fact that there is no safe place for suburban young people to go
when they first become homeless. What we have found is that even on the rare night when a bed is
open in one of the Minneapolis/Saint Paul shelters, our suburban kids are frightened to leave their
home cities. Rather than taking a bus (which many of them have never done) to a safe bed, they are
instead engaging in unsafe survival strategies. It is no surprise that we are finding our
homeless/runaway youth getting lured into sex trafficking rings - they get desperate after a cold night
outside, and anything looks better than another night spent that way.
But there is hope. We know that if our community's homeless youth have a safe place to call home and
youth-appropriate supports, they can, and will, move from surviving the streets to being thriving young
adults. It is this fact that drives us. We want to build safe shelter and transitional housing with
supportive services into our community for our youth. We envision a place that helps young people
address their crisis needs, find stability, work on repairing family relationships, pursue their education,
find employment, and plan for their futures.
As we have begun forming the partnerships for this project, Avenues for Homeless Youth presented
itself as an ideal operations partner for this project, For one, they have already been serving our youth
through the Suburban Host Home Program (which Avenues operates) and its shelter and transitional
housing program in North Minneapolis, so they have already done trainings in many of our churches
around this very issue. Our territory is familiar to them. Secondly, they have an excellent reputation in
the service-provider community for what they offer to kids in crisis at their existing facility in north
Minneapolis - we know that we can trust them with our funds and our youth. Third, their model of
service is one we support fully—youth-centered vs. program-centered, trauma-informed and strengths-
based. The staff at Avenues for Homeless Youth focuses on the needs of the kids who come to them,
and they work tirelessly and creatively to address each young person's situation individually.
Finally, and most importantly to us, they are fully committed to working with the whole range of
partners our community offers - faith-based groups like our BAMA churches, the police, our civic
partners, the schools, other service providers, city and other local governments, and committed
individuals. We put out a call for help for our kids who so badly need it, and Avenues answered with its
expertise and willingness to step out in faith on behalf of these young people. They have the right
leadership and, even more critically, the deep and open engagement that we will need to create a safe
space for these kids to begin life again.
Already we have BAMA congregations that have formed (or are forming) fundraising committees for this
project. We ask for your support — this project will not happen without it.
I welcome any questions — my contact information follows. Thank you for your consideration.
Peace and Grace,

I arn writing to ur�e your strong consideration and support of the proposal submitted by
Avenues for Homeless Youth seeking funding for "Brooklyn Avenues", a 10-bed shelter
and transitional housing program for homeless youth to be located in the City of
Brooklyn Park. The program will provide safe and stable shelter and transitional
housing with intensive support services for hameIess youth, ages 16 to 21, from the
northwestern suburbs.
On any night in Minnesota, over 4,Oa0 young people, age 21 and under, are hameless -
they are on their own and don't have a safe, stable place to sleep. They are literally
"surviving the streets." And Minnesota's population of homeless youth conrinues to
grow at an alarming rate.
Youth homelessness is rapidly escalafiing in the northwestern suburbs. Park Center High
School already identified 21 young people this school year who are homeless and the
Osseo School District has identified 245 homeless youth this year. Homeless youth are
at great risk of exploitation and harm, easily falling prey to sex-trafficking rings, and
aftentimes trading sex for foad and shelter just to survive.
This is not an urban, suburban or even a rural problem - this is a statewide problem and
i�s our problem. There are no youth-specific shelter and transitional housing beds for
homeless youth in crisis in the narthwestern suburbs. When the police pick up a hameless
youth in the area and cannot bring them home, they have to bring them into Minneapalis for
shelter, most often to Avenues for Homeless Youth or Hope Street.
So community leaders asked Avenues for Homeless Youth to partner with the community

TO:
DATE:
Anne Norris, City Manager
February 12, 2014 (For February 18 Council Meeting)
SUBJECT: Purchase of Replacement Trackless Snowplow
Unit #303 is a 1994 MT Trackless sidewalk plow. After 20 years of service and many
repairs it is in need of replacement. It is currently down for repairs that with labor would
be at a cost of $6,000. Prior to this recent failure, the trade-in value was $5,500.
Without this older unit as the backup, the only other equipment that can effectively clear
sidewalks is Unit #302, a 2006 Trackless machine.
There is $125,000 budgeted in the 2014 PIR (#4701) budget. It is recommended that
Council adopt the attached resolution, authorizing the purchase of the replacement
machine from State Bid Purchase Contract. The vendor is MacQueen Equipment Inc.,
and the cost is $117,436.00.

To request City Council approval of the 2014 wages and city contributions %r health insurance for all
non-represented empioyees.
BACKGROUND
Wages
The Labor Agreement for Local #49 (Public Works) calls for a wage increase oi 2% in 2014. The Local.
#56 (Police Supervisors) and the Local #44 (Police Officers) contract is being negotiated. We are
recommending a 2% increase for non-represented employees in the City of Crystal. The percentage
increase is consistent internally and with wage settlements of other metro area cities.
Health Insurance: (Employer Contribution)
Likewise, we are recommending the following contributions for health insurance:

DATE: February 12, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
Anne Norris, City Manager
FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Discuss Financing Options for JWC Emergency Water Supply
Background:
We have been discussing options for financing Crystal's share of the Joint Water
Commission (JWC) project to add wells as an emergency water supply backup. Two
financing options have been presented by staff and the City Council requested that
additional options be developed and presented for discussion.
All of the budget options presented go out 10 years instead of the 5 years we normally
present in the annual budget. Ten years is a more realistic time frame to consider
when financing a project of this size.
2014 Adopted Budget (Attachment A)
The 2014 Adopted Budget didn't include the emergency water supply in capital outlay
or any form of a plan to finance it. We weren't sure of the cost of the wells, timing of
the project, or if it would be financed by cash on hand or some kind of debt. We
planned to amend the budget after decisions were make on these factors.
Attachment A still doesn't include the emergency water supply project, but is intended
to establish a baseline 10 year budget for comparison to the other options. Only the
2014 column in Attachment A is the same as in the adopted budget. In the normal
budget process, we focus primarily on the year for which the budget is adopted. The
succeeding four years are estimates that we don't put great emphasis on.
In this exercise, projecting cash on hand for the next ten years is the purpose and so
the following changes to 2015 through 2018 are made:
• An inflation factor is applied to the minor revenues. This doesn't generate much
additional revenue, but everything counts when we are facing a cash deficit.
• The JWC Capital line is adjusted to the JWC's current plan (excluding the wells).
The following assumptions are made for the years 2019 through 2023:
• Rates that Crystal will pay to the JWC for water will increase at 2.8% per year. The
City of Minneapolis hasn't provided the JWC with future rate increase. We are
assuming Minneapolis rates will increase at 2.8% per year.
• JWC capital outlay will be $350,000 per year from 2019 through 2023. This is the
average of their capital outlays from 2014 through 2018, excluding the wells.
• Crystal's water capital outlay will be $450,000 per year from 2019 through 2023.
This is the average of the capital outlays from 2014 through 2018
• Inflation on everything else will run at 3% per year from 2019 through 2023.
Cash and investments at year-end goes negative in 2021 and continues to decrease.
We aren't generating enough positive cash flow from operations to pay for capital
outlays. The year 2016 has no rate increase and 2018 has a smaller than normal rate
increase. These smaller increases were sufficient during the five year time period of
the budget. If all years after 2015 have a rate increase of $0.15 per unit, the decline in
cash and investments continues, but doesn't reach a deficit during the ten years.
2014 Adopted Budget and paying cash for the emergency wells (Attachment B)
This option is the same as Attachment A except that it makes a cash payment of
$1,215,000 for the emergency wells in 2014. No rate increases are made beyond
those in Attachment A. Cash and investments at year-end goes negative in 2017 and
continues to decrease. At the end of 2023, the cash and investments deficit will be
about $2,300,000.
2014 Adopted Budget and paying cash for the emergency wells with a fixed
charge to replenish cash (Attachment C)
This option is the same as Attachment B except that it raises rates to pay for the
emergency wells. A$3 per quarter fixed fee is added to the utility bills of all 7,800 water
customers. This starts in the 3�d quarter of 2014 and raises $93,600 per year. The total
new revenue raised from 2014 through 2023 is $889,200. At the end of 2023, the cash
and investments deficit will be about $1,300,000. Increased investment income
provides the balance of the $1,000,000 improvement from Attachment B.
2014 Adopted Budget and paying cash for the emergency wells with a fixed
charge and unit rate increases to replenish cash (Attachment D)
If in addition to the fixed fee shown in Attachment C, all years after 2015 have a rate
increase of $0.15 per unit of water used, the decline in cash and investments continues,
reaching a deficit about $90,000 at the end of ten years.
2014 Adopted Budget with paying half cash and half internal loan for the
emergency wells with a fixed charge to replenish cash (Attachment E)
This option takes out an internal loan of $600,000 from another fund to help pay for the
emergency wells. The loan (Attachment 1) is structured with payments from 2015
through 2023 and an interest rate of 2%. If the loan was made interest free, it would
only save about $61,600 over the ten years.
The total new revenue raised from 2014 through 2023 is $889,200. At the end of 2023,
the cash and investments deficit will be about $1,300,000.
2014 Adopted Budget with Paying half Cash and half internal loan for the
Emergency Wells with a fixed charge and unit rate increases to replenish cash
(Attachment F)
If in addition to the fixed fee shown in Attachment E, all years after 2015 have a rate
increase of $0.15 per unit, the decline in cash and investments continues, reaching a
deficit in the tenth year.
Conclusion:
When the Adopted Budget is extended out ten years, it shows a Water Fund that isn't
generating enough positive cash flow from operations to pay for capital outlay. Adding
the $1,200,000 emergency well to the capital project list makes the deficit in cash and
investments is unmanageable if there are no additional rate increases.
The City Council expressed interest in adding an emergency well fixed charge of $1.00
per month, per customer to the utility bill. While this additional revenue helps, it isn't
enough to overcome the negative cash flow from capital projects. It will be necessary
to consider either an emergency well fixed charge of $2.50 per month or an increase in
the water unit charge in order to maintain a positive balance in cash and investments.

Memorandum
CRYSTAL
DATE: February 10, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program
Based on a report to the 2009 Legislature, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
(MPCA) developed the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program. The program is governed
by a public-private partnership of state agencies and non-governmental organizations and
is led by the MPCA.
The GreenStep Cities program is a free and voluntary program and is designed to help
cities achieve their local sustainability and quality of life goals. The program is based on
28 best practices in five categories: Buildings and Lighting; Land Use; Transportation;
Environmental Management; and Economic and Community Development. Attachment 1
is a list of the 28 GreenStep best practices. Cities determine which "best steps" they are
interested in pursuing and achieve certain goals with each "best step."
Other metro area cities currently participating in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program
are Apple Valley, Burnsville, Columbia Heights, Cottage Grove, Eagan, Eden Prairie,
Edina, Falcon Heights, Farmington, Hopkins, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Minnetonka,
North St. Paul, Oakdale, Richfield, St. Anthony, St. Louis Park, Shoreview, Shorewood,
Victoria, White Bear Lake and Woodbury.
Attachment 2 contains general information and history on the Minnesota GreenStep Cities
program and Attachment 3 contains information on steps to becoming recognized as a
GreenStep city.
The City Council discussed this in 2012 and in December 2012, a vote on a resolution
authorizing the city to participate in the GreenStep Cities program failed on a 3-3 vote, with
one councilmember abstaining. There was discussion about whether sufficient research
had been done on the program and whether the city needed to participate in the program
if some of the best practices are already being done.
The City Council should discuss whether it wishes to pursue additional discussion of the
Minnesota GreenStep Cities program and if any additional information is needed.
Attach:
�
GreenStep Cities is an assistance program for all Minnesota cities that supports and
recognizes implementation of 28 sustainable development best practices.
The best practices facus on cost savings and energy use reductions that lead cities beyond compliance and
encourage a culture of innovation.
Cities that implement a minimum number of best practices, organized into five categories below, will be
recognized as a GreenStep City. Eaeh best practice can be implemented by completing one or more specific
actions from a list of four fio eight actions. A city's accomplishments are recognized on the GreenStep website.
Implementation of additional best practices will garner additional recognition.
Visit www.It�nGreenSt�p.ar� to tearn more about this program, to see what cities have accomplished, and to
understand how your city can become involved.

At its January 21 work session, the City Council asked staff for additional information regarding
the staff time and costs associated with processing liquor licenses/wine and beer licenses.
Attached is a summary of the licensing process, which includes approximate staff time and
costs. The attachment reflects a seamless liquor licensing process from start to finish,
however that is rarely the case. Staff time can vary depending upon a variety of factors such
as specific business license requirements and other circumstances that may arise throughout
the process.
Additional staff time is also required to manage compliance checks, enforcement action,
maintain accurate records, and provide extra assistance to non-compliant licensees. The
City Clerk, Police Department, City Attorneys, and Finance Department may be included in any
of the above regulation and management of liquor licenses. An average cost for these services
can range from $4,000 - $6,000.
Due to costs associated with regulating and managing liquor licenses, staff proposes the
following fee increases:
Liquor
Off sale 3.2 malt liquor:
On sale 3.2 malt liquor:
On sale wine premises seating 25-99:
On sale wine, premises seating 100+:
