Proposal to the City of Crystal to Participate in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program The Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) and the citizens of Crystal propose that the City Council approve a resolution to authorize participation in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program based on the merits of this no-cost program. The program provides best practices for the city to follow that provide common sense steps for a better community. Benefits of the program include: • Community appeal: This distinction will help to attract new residents. Promotion on the city's website and on the GreenSteps website will help set Crystal apart. • Increased community participation: Pursuing additional Best Practices will offer opportunities to engage the community. Potential groups to engage include schools, businesses, and churches. • Community acceptance: Many of the Best Practices are already being followed by local businesses. For example, at Clifford the Carpet Cleaner use of organic, botanical plant based carpet cleaning materials is available upon request and at Bibles for Missions Thrift Center only donated goods are sold, reducing landfill waste. • 1Vo fiscal commitment: There is no cost to join the program and there are no ongoing costs to maintain status as a program participant. • 1Vo annual requirement: Upon admittance into the program, the EQC estimates that the city will qualify as a Step 1 city because of the eight Best Practices that the city reports currently have in place. There are no annual requirements to obtain additional Best Practices to move up and become a Step 2 or Step 3 city. See Addendum A for the Best Practices that the city has already completed. • Local collaboration: Crystal will join an established network of local program participants. Cities like White Bear Lake, Hopkins, Cottage Grove, Minnetonka, and St. Paul are among the participants. Crystal will have access to the lessons learned and best practices of fellow program participants. • Access to experts: By joining the program, content experts will be available to assist the city on pursuing any of the 28 established Best Practices. • 1Vew ideas: Our participant status will give us access to free technical assistance from program experts at GreenSteps. This technical assistance will help us evaluate new alternatives for better long term investments. The EQC requests that city council proceed with approval of a resolution to join the GreenSteps Cities program. The opportunities that the program presents, in conjunction with no additional expenditures, make the program a common sense step that will enhance the reputation of Crystal and its citizens as a good steward of their community. ���— �._�a - ���_�.� - � �-�-- - -- .�.

RESOLUTION ADJUSTING ASSESSMENT RO�� - FOR 2014 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS WHEREAS, on October 21, the Crystal City Council held a public hearing on assessments for delinquent accounts; and WHEREAS, on October 21, the City Council adopted Resolution #2014-85 adopting the assessment roll as presented for the 2014 delinquent accounts; and WHEREAS, during the October 21 public hearing, the City Council received appeals regarding delinquent accounts on several properties, including: 4336 Douglas Drive North; and 5407 Hampshire Avenue North. WHEREAS, staff reviewed the files regarding the two properties' appealed delinquent amounts. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Crystal, Minnesota, adjusts the following delinquent amounts for the 2014 delinquent accounts as follows: 4336 Douglas Drive North $500 5407 Hampshire Avenue North $6,040 The owners of these properties so assessed may, at any time prior to certification of the assessment to Hennepin County, pay the whole of the assessment on such property. If the entire assessment is paid by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26, 2014, no interest will be charged. Payments made from Wednesday, November 12, 2014, through Wednesday, November 26, 2014, will ON�Y be accepted in the form of cash, money order, cashiers check, or credit card at City Hall or online (MasterCard or VISA accepted). Checks will not be accepted. Payments will be accepted in person at the front desk of City Hall between the hours of 8:00 a.m. — 4:30 p.m., Monday- Friday. Delinquent balances not paid by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26, 2014, will be assessed against the property. This means that the delinquent balance will be reported to Hennepin County, which will add it to the 2015 property tax statement for the Service Address. Assessed amounts will accrue interest at an annual rate of twelve percent (12%) from November 1, 2014, through December 31, 2015. An owner may, at any time thereafter, pay to Hennepin County the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest (12%} accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made. The Assessing Specialist will transmit a certified duplicate of the final assessment listing to Hennepin County to be extended on the property tax roles of the county. Such assessments will be collected by Hennepin County and will be remitted to the city in the same manner as other municipal taxes. Adopted by the City Council of the City of Crystal this 6th day of November, 2014. Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: Gail Van Krevelen, Assessing/Customer Service Specialist .. , � ... ., ..l. _ � , ..l. ■ / � Memorandum �,CITY�"�`:- �YSTAL �- DATE: October 29, 2014 TO: Mayor and City Council Anne Norris, City Manager FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director SUBJECT: Consider a Resolution Amending the 2014 Budget Background Every year budgets need to be amended for various reasons. Often these changes are done at year-end when final results are known. Sometimes the changes are known and amendments can be done during the year. Several changes were discussed at the October 21, 2014 work session. The changes are listed below and the attached resolution will adopt them. One difference from the information presented at the work session deals with Squad car #211 in the Police Equipment Revolving Fund. Set-up of this squad isn't complete and the final cost will be about $47,000 instead of the $40,000 reported at the work session. Economic Development Authority — The EDA budget includes a$150,000 transfer to the PIR Fund to pay for work on the Bass Lake Road Streetscape. The streetscape project has been cancelled, so we propose to add the $150,000 to the $500,000 that the EDA budget provides as a transfer to the Major Building Replacement Fund to help pay for the Public Works Facility. Major Building Replacement Fund — Increase the transfer from the EDA from $500,000 to $650,000. Permanent Improvement Revolving Fund: • City Hall roof replacement — complete work started in 2013. Increase $7,851. • City Hall & Pool solar energy — Payment was made in 2013 to start project, but work was done in 2014. Recoded as a prepaid expense at 12/31 /2013 and reversed to expenditures in 2014. Increase to $66,053. • Alley Reconstruction — This was planned in the 2014 budget as a$158,000 project but the contract award was $220,000. Increase $62,000. • Alley Reconstruction — Increase special assessment revenues from $94,800 to $132,000 and increase transfer from Storm Drainage Fund from $63,200 to $88,000 due to the higher cost of the Alley Project. .. , � ... ., ..l. _ � , ..l. ■ / • Bass Lake Road Streetscape Repair — Cancel project. Reduce expense $150,000. • Bass Lake Road Streetscape Repair — Reduce transfer from EDA $150,000. • Community Center Landscaping south — Postponed, reduce expense $10,000 • Waterslide gel coat & renovation — Postponed, reduce expense $70,000 • Park Dedication Fees — Increase revenue by $21,886.

A squad car was destroyed in an accident in December 2013 and a replacement was purchased in 2014 using insurance proceeds. This resulted in four vehicles being replaced in 2014. The department re-evaluated vehicle condition and mileage when ordering the 2014 vehicles and decided to change the order in which the existing vehicles would be replaced. The 2014 budget provided for replacing squads 202, 203 & 209. After the re-evaluation, squads 203, 205 & 211 were replaced. Squad 215 was destroyed in the accident and replaced with insurance proceeds. The insurance proceeds were accounted for as sale of property since this involved the disposal of an existing vehicle. Storm Drainage Fund The transfer from Storm Drainage Fund to the PIR Fund increases from $63,200 to $88,000 due to the higher cost of the Alley Paving project.

The proposed rates are the same as were presented at the work session; however there have been some changes to the proposed 2015 utility budgets. Utility budgets will be adopted in December as part of the entire 2015 city budget. Additional capital outlay expenses beyond those shown in the rate studies may be incurred when we receive a final accounting of costs from the county for the Highway 81 project. Water Charges Normal increases in the rates for water purchased from the City of Minneapolis, along with inflation in other operating costs, require a rate increase for 2015. Sewer Charges Continued increases in MCES disposal charges, inflation in other operating costs and increased capital projects all combine to require sewer rate increases. Storm Drainage Charges Operating expenses are increasing moderately, but capital outlays create a significant drain on the fund's cash. Due to increases in planned capital outlays, the rate study projects a$0.90 per quarter increase in the rate for 2015 and each year thereafter. Even with these increases, the Storm Drainage Fund could have a cash deficit in 2016. Street Light Utility Electricity is the largest expense for street lights. Residential rates are recommended to increase from $4.65 per quarter in 2014 to $4.80 per quarter in 2015. This is a 3.23% increase and similar increase is recommended for multiple family residential rates.
