SUBJECT: Council Rules — Public Attendance
Earlier this fall City Attorney Gilchrist provided training to the City Council and staff on
the Open Meeting Law and First Amendment. At that training, City Attorney Gilchrist
noted a recent court ruling regarding public attendance at Council meetings.
Based on this ruling, in his November 7 memo (attached) the City Attorney is
recommending the Council consider amending its Rules to address public attendance
at Council meetings and work sessions.
Attached are the current version of the Council Rules and proposed changes drafted by
the City Attorney. The City Attorney will be at the December 5 work session to review
these amendments and get the Council's input.

MEMORANDUM
To: Crystal City Council
From: Troy Gilchrist, City Attorney
Date: November 8, 2017
Re: Addressing Disruptions at City Council Meetings after State v. Hensel
I am writing to provide the City Council information on managing disruptions at City Council
meetings in light of the Minnesota Supreme Court's decision in State v. Hensel, 901 N. W.2d 166
(Minn. 2017). This is the case that was released immediately before we talked about the First
Amendment and that I mentioned during the session. That discussion resulted in some
comments about the City looking at its options to address the issue now rather than waiting for a
disruptive situation to occur. Since the decision there have also been discussions among city
attorneys over the best methods for cities to respond to the need to control their meetings. The
purpose of this memo is to update the City Council on those options in case it decides to pursue
the matter. Below I will provide a brief summary of the case as a reminder, set out two options
for the City Council to consider, and offer a recommendation for the City Council's
consideration.
Summary of Hensel Decision
The case arose out of disruption of two Little Falls City Council meetings by Ms. Hensel. The
facts as presented by the court do not, to say the least, fully capture the level of disruption caused
by Ms. Hensel's actions, but they are relatively succinct and so rather than attempt to rewrite
them I will just quote them here:
The facts of this case, which arose out of two Little Falls City Council meetings, are
undisputed. At the first of the two meetings, appellant Robin Lyne Hensel sat in the
public gallery, which was about 15 to 20 feet from a raised dais located at the front of the
510554v2 TJG CR205-30
room and reserved for city -council members. Tables and chairs were positioned in the
area between the gallery and the dais.
During the meeting, Hensel, who was sitting in the front row of the gallery, displayed
signs that depicted dead and deformed children. These signs, which were approximately
4 -feet long and 4 -feet high, along with a sign on her head, obstructed the view of those
seated behind her, causing the City Council president to grant permission to affected
members of the gallery to come forward and sit in the chairs available at the front of the
room. Hensel's actions eventually led the City Council to adjourn and reschedule the
meeting.
Four days later, the City Council reconvened in the same room, but this time there were
no tables or chairs in the area between the gallery and the dais. Rather than sitting in the
gallery, as she had at the previous meeting, Hensel took one of the folding chairs from the
gallery and placed it in the space previously occupied by the tables and chairs. Hensel
refused multiple requests to return to the gallery and challenged the City Council by
demanding to see a policy that prohibited her from sitting there. Eventually, the Little
Falls City Attorney warned Hensel that a police officer would remove her from the
meeting room and issue her a ticket for disorderly conduct if she did not return to the
gallery. When Hensel again refused a request to move, an officer escorted her from the
room.
Id. at 169.
Ms. Hensel was charged with disorderly conduct under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.72,
subdivision 1(2) for disrupting the meeting. She responded by challenging the statute as
violating her First Amendment rights, alleging it is unconstitutionally overbroad, vague, and
unconstitutional as applied to her case.
The disorderly conduct statute she was charged under provides as follows:
609.72 DISORDERLY CONDUCT.
Subdivision 1. Crime. Whoever does any of the following in a public or private
place, including on a school bus, knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know that it
will, or will tend to, alarm, anger or disturb others or provoke an assault or breach of the
peace, is guilty of disorderly conduct, which is a misdemeanor:
(1) engages in brawling or fighting; or
(2) disturbs an assembly or meeting, not unlawful in its character; or
(3) engages in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct or in
offensive, obscene, or abusive language tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or
resentment in others.
(emphasis added).
2
5105542 TJG CR205-30
The court analyzed the statute and was troubled by the scope of lawful activities that could
potentially be penalized under it, as well as the resulting chilling effect on protected speech. As
a result, the court found the "statute facially violates the First Amendment's overbreadth
doctrine." Id. at 173.
The court rejected the arguments forwarded by the state to demonstrate the statute is not overly
broad. The state asserted the statute does not ban all speech, but the court pointed out that fact
does not mean it is not overbroad. Nor, the court pointed out, is it compelled to find that the
statute is constitutional just because it could ban more speech than it does. The fact the statute
contains an intent requirement ("knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know") also does not
save it as it could prohibit mere negligent disturbances. The potential to reach even negligent
disturbances increases the chances the statute has a chilling effect on protected expressions.
Finally, the court found the statute is not a valid time, place or manner restriction as it applies to
all conduct, occurring at any time, that disturbs any lawful assembly, whether occurring on
public or private property. Even under intermediate scrutiny, which applies when reviewing
time, place, and manner restrictions, the regulation, though content neutral, is not narrowly
tailored to serve a significant government interest. "The statute regulates a broad swath of
protected speech and expressive conduct, far more than is necessary to maintain order at
meetings and assemblies." Id. at 175. Rejecting all of the state's arguments to uphold the
statute, the court reaffirmed it is unconstitutionally overbroad.
Having determined the statute is unconstitutional, the court examined whether it can be remedied
through a narrowing construction or if it must be invalidated. After discussing its options, the
court ultimately concluded that attempting to narrow the statute would require the court to
rewrite it, something it cannot do, and so it invalidated the statute. The court was not clear on
the scope of its ruling, but since the challenge was limited to the disturbing an assembly element
of the statute, it is reasonable to view the ruling as being limited to that provision.
Options after Hensel
As a result of the court invalidating language obviously intended to protect gatherings such as
city council meetings from disruptions, cities have been left wondering what they can do to help
ensure they can maintain order during their meetings so they can conduct the city's business.
The League of Minnesota Cities will likely attempt to address the issue with the legislature
during the upcoming session, but in the meantime cities are left wondering what they can do to
maintain order at their meetings.
In discussing this matter with other city attorneys and the attorney that defended Little Falls in
the case (who has been working with the League on this issue), we have identified two options
for the City Council to consider: (1) adopt a policy setting out rules of conduct for meetings; or
(2) adopt an ordinance that prohibits disrupting meetings. Each option is discussed below.
0 ) Adopt a_Policy Establishing Rules of Conduct
This approach involves the City Council adopting by resolution a set of rules that applies to those
attending City Council meetings. Because the City Council already has a set of rules for its
5105542 TJG CR205-30
meetings, it could include these rules as a separate section that applies to those who attend
meetings. Nothing in Hensel suggests a city cannot maintain control of its meetings. The court
simply struck down an overbroad statute used to penalize a person that disrupted a meeting. The
City Council can establish rules through a policy that, if violated, provides for the removal of the
person from the chambers. If the person refused to leave, the City can arrest the person for
trespass if necessary.
Under Minnesota Statutes, section 609.605, subdivision I (b)(3), a "person is guilty of a
misdemeanor if the person intentionally ... trespasses on the premises of another and, without
claim of right, refuses to depart from the premises on demand of the lawful possessor",
The 8t' Circuit upheld an arrest for trespass when an activist refused to leave a public school
board meeting. In Green v. Nocciero, 676 F.3d 748 (2012), the court found the school board's
meeting constituted a limited public forum. As such, the "School Board could reasonably restrict
public access to this forum `based on the subject matter of the speech, on the identity or status of
the speaker, or on the practical need to restrict access for reasons of manageability or the lack of
resources to meet total demand.' This necessarily included the authority to remove an unruly or
disruptive member of the audience `to prevent his badgering, constant interruptions, and
disregard for the rules of decorum."' Id. at 753-754 (citations omitted). The court pointed out
that viewpoint discrimination is not allowed, but while the person claimed he was being
retaliated against for past comments against the school board, those claims were not supported.
The removal by law enforcement of persons disrupting a public meeting does not violate their
First Amendment rights.
Similarly, the 8t' Circuit in Galarnyk v. Fraser, 687 F.3d 1070 (2012) also held there was
probable cause under Minnesota law for an arrest for trespass when a person refused to leave the
restricted 35W bridge collapse site.
Finally, in State v. Occhino, 572 N.W.2d 316 (Minn. App. 1997), the Minnesota Court of
Appeals upheld a trespass conviction of a person that entered the public area of a police station,
but then refused to leave when ordered to do so by the officer in charge after becoming unruly
and disruptive. The person's "repeated refusals to leave and his intentional act of remaining at
the police desk area, while having no lawful reason to be at that area, then constituted trespass."
Id. at 319.
The City of Little Falls has pursued this policy approach and a copy of the rules its council has
adopted is attached. Adopting a policy allows the City Council to adopt rules for its meetings
that can go into effect promptly without having to wait for two readings and the additional 30
days required if they were adopted by ordinance. Furthermore, adjustments can be made to the
policy as needed by resolution without having to work through the ordinance amendment
process.
('2 } Adopt an Ordinance to Prohibit Disruptions
The thought behind this approach is to simply prohibit, as part of the city's code, the disruption
of council meetings. In other words, this ordinance would effectively take the place of the
4
510554v2 TJG CR205-30
statute the court struck down by making it illegal to disrupt the City Council's meeting. A
person who then disrupts a meeting can be removed, issued a citation, and, if necessary, arrested
under the ordinance. The ordinance would, of course, need to be drafted so has to avoid the
constitutional problems identified with the statute, but adopting an ordinance can serve to fill the
gap created by the invalidated statute.
Recommendation
If the City Council is interested in taking action on this issue, I recommend it pursue option (1)
by amending its Council Rules to include a set of rules applicable to those who attend its
meetings. The rules could be similar to those adopted by the City of Little Falls. Presumably,
the legislature will address the constitutional shortcomings of the disorderly conduct statute
during the next session, and so focusing on a set of rules tailored to the City Council's meetings
is the best method for addressing that particular limited public forum. The policy will also be
more instructive to those attending meetings and can provide a clear process for what may
happen if someone violates it. If the City Council directs, I would be happy to work from the
rules adopted by Little Falls to create a set of rules for its review.
Feel free to let me know if there are any questions.

Proposed Amendment to the Crystal City Council Rules
The following proposed new section of rules relates to public attendance at meetings and is
being offered for consideration in response to the Minnesota Supreme Court's invalidation of the
disorderly conduct statute prohibiting the disruption of meetings.
SECTION 5 PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS
5.1 Encouraged; Subject to Rules The public is encouraged to attend Council meetings and to
provide their input during the scheduled citizen input time and during public hearings. However,
certain rules need to be established and must be observed regarding public attendance at, and
participation in, meetings to ensure others have an opportunity to speak and to allow the City
Council to conduct its business without disruption. Those who attend Council meetings shall
comply with the rules set out in this Section and failure to comply with these rules may result in
the person being ejected from the meeting. These rules apply to all public meetings held by the
City Council and, to the extent practicable, meetings held by the City's commissions and
boards.
5.2 Remain Seated Unless addressing the City Council, or entering or leaving the meeting
room, all persons in the audience shall remain seated in the seats provided in their current
location. No person shall stand or sit in the aisles or along the walls, unless permitted by the
Presiding Officer. No person shall block any doorways or interfere with those attempting to
speak at open forum or during a public hearing in accordance. No person, other than
Councilmembers and staff, shall enter the area behind the dais in the Council Chambers during
Council meetings.
5.3 Demonstrations All demonstrations, including cheering, yelling, whistling, handclapping
and foot stomping which disrupts, disturbs, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct of the
Council meeting are prohibited.
5.4 Obstruct Views Members of the audience and speakers shall not wear or display signs,
placards, banners, hats, costumes, or similar items at any time in the meeting room that
obstruct the view of other audience members. In no event shall signs, placards, banners, props,
or similar items be larger than 8'/z by 11 inches, be illuminated, or be attached to any pole,
stick, or other device.
5.5 Open Forum As noted in Section 2.2.7 of these rules, the City Council provides an
opportunity for public input during the open forum portion of its agenda during regular Council
meetings. Those who wish to speak during the open forum shall fill out a yellow slip provided in
the meeting room and provide it to the City Clerk. No person shall address the Council until he
or she has first been recognized by the Presiding Officer. Unless directed otherwise by the
Presiding Officer, comments shall be made at the designated podium and the speaker shall
state his or her name and address before commenting. In the interest of facilitating the
business of the Council, all persons addressing the Council shall be limited to three minutes,
and no matter may be addressed for more than ten minutes, unless such time is extended by
the Presiding Officer for good cause.
5.6 Interruptions Members of the audience shall respect the rights of others. No person in the
audience at the Council meeting shall engage in conduct that disrupts the orderly conduct of
any Council meeting, including, but not limited to, the utterance of loud, threatening or abusive

language, whistling, clapping, stamping of feet, repeatedly waiving of arms or other disruptive
acts.
5.7 Recordings Photographs, audiotapes, and videotapes may be taken from any seat
available to the public within the meeting room or from the rear of the meeting room. Except
when presentations are being made, photographs, audiotapes and videotapes may not be taken

any manner which disturbs or disrupts the audience, speakers, or Councilmembers or otherwise
disrupts the Council meeting.
5.8 Animals Animals are prohibited in the Council Chambers, except for trained K-9 police
dogs and trained service animals as defined under State and Federal law.
5.9 Enforcement of Rules The Presiding Officer of the Council, with the assistance of law
enforcement, shall be responsible for maintaining the order of the meeting. The rules
established in this Section 5 shall be enforced as follows:
1) The Presiding Officer has the authority to issue a verbal warning to a person violating
the rules;
2) If the person issued a warning by the Presiding Officer continues to violate the rules and
disrupt the meeting, the Presiding Officer will direct the person to be ejected or excluded

) The ejection shall be for the remainder of the session at which the violation of the rules
occurred.

Attn: Dan Olson

Crystal, MN 55422
Dear Mr. Olson,
Please accept our application to purchase the lot at 4724 Lakeland Ave N from the City of Crystal EDA. Tollberg Homes
would be prepared to purchase this lot as soon as able and would begin construction immediately.
Tollberg Homes, LLC is a local builder out of Anoka that builds single family homes in a variety of communities and price
ranges. We build in the Twin Cities as well as in Western North Dakota and we expect to construct about 50 homes
annually. Our recent awards include the 2014 People's Choice Award in Bismarck and BATC Reggie Award in 2015. We
were also recognized as a top 25 builder in MN for 2016. Current MN communities that we are active in include Lino
Lakes, Blaine, Ham Lake, Stillwater, and Little Canada. We have the financial strength to purchase the lots and complete
the construction. A commitment letter can be provided upon request.
Tollberg Homes has significant experience building in first ring suburbs and in -fill lots. In addition to the 7 lots we have
purchased in Crystal over the past three years, we have also built multiple homes in Anoka, Columbia Heights, Coon
Rapids, Maplewood, and Little Canada. Our clients who bought these homes have been appreciative of the quality and
value delivered by Tollberg Homes. Our warranty also exceeds industry standard as we perform a 4 week and 1 year
walk through with all of our clients after closing to address any concerns.
We thank you for your consideration for these lots. Building new homes in existing neighborhoods can be a challenging
experience. We hope that our track record in your City is proof that we can work well with City staff, be respectful of
neighboring homeowners, and also deliver a product that enhances your community. We look forward to your
response.
Very truly yours,
Nathan Jones
Chief Operating Officer

CYMemorandum
l.
DATE: November 22, 2017
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager till
SUBJECT: Annual Elections for the 2018 Insurance Policy
Background
As part of the annual insurance renewal process, the City Council must determine
whether to waive the statutory limit on tort liability and providing worker's compensation
insurance for the City Council.
Liability Insurance:
The City must select one of the following options for the statutory tort limit on liability
claims:
Do not waive the statutory tort limit. In this case, no individual will be able to
recover more than $500,000 from the City. For accidents or incidents where
multiple persons have claims against the City, the total for all claimants will be
limited to $1,500,000.
. Waive the statutory tart limit but do not purchase excess liability
insurance. In this case, an individual will be able to recover up to $1,500,000
from the City. For accidents or incidents where multiple persons have claims
against the City, the total for all claimants will still be limited to $1,500,000.
Historically, the City has opted not to waive the limit.
Workers Compensation Insurance for City Council Members:
Unlike city employees, elected officials are not automatically covered by the worker's
compensation law. Cities wishing to cover elected officials need to adopt a resolution
indicating the elected officials will be covered by worker's comp.
Providing the coverage means that a city council member who is injured while on city
business would receive worker's compensation benefits. The risk of such an injury is
low, but the benefits would be important to the individual if it happened. The cost of this
coverage is minimal and the City has historically opted for this coverage.
3.6
Insurance Agent:
The City of Crystal has used the Nesbit Agencies as its insurance agent for many years.
A flat fee is paid to the agent instead of a commission. I recommend staying with the
Nesbit Agencies, because their service has beer -pd and their agents have developed
the knowledge of the city required to effectively represent the City's interests.
Recommendation:
Recommend approval of the attached resolution making the options regarding not
waiving tort liability limit, providing worker's compensation coverage for the City Council
and remaining with Nesbit Agencies as the City's insurance agent.
Attach:
RESOLUTION NO. 2017 -
RESOLUTION MAKING ANNUAL ELECTIONS FOR
THE 2018 INSURANCE POLICY
WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to waive the
statutory limit on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes 466.04, and
WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must declare whether or not to provide
worker's compensation insurance for elected officials, and
WHEREAS, the City of Crystal must appoint the insurance agent that will
represent the city in dealing with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the City
of Crystal does not waive the statutory limit on tort liability established by
Minnesota Statutes 466.04 for the 2018 insurance policy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal elects to provide
worker's compensation insurance for members of the City Council while on city
business.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Crystal appoints the Nesbit
Agencies as its agent of record for purchasing insurance policies.

We are pleased to submit the 2018 City Budget. The 2018 budget provides the City Council and
residents with a balanced budget and a sound financial plan that maintains core services levels,

services and its policies and goals. Work began on the 2018 budget in April 2017 when the City
Council met to determine priorities for 2018. The City Council held two additional work sessions
to provide direction to a budget that maintains core services, is sensitive to tax impacts and of
the following Council goals:
1. To create a thriving business climate
2. To develop fiscally sound and stable fnancial policies and practices
3. To create strong neighbohoods.
Review and approval of the preliminary property tax levies and budget was held on
September 7, 2017. A public input meeting was held on October 3, 2017 and the formal Truth in
Taxation Public input session was held on December 5, 2017.

Budget Overview
The City of Crystal has developed a comprehensive budget that encompasses City Council goals,
maintenance of current levels of services and investment in infrastructure. Property taxes support
approximately 67% of the annual general fund budget and in order to meet the objectives above,
the budget includes a 6% property tax increase.
The 2018 Budget requires $14,037,076 for operations within the General Fund to continue at
existing service levels and includes the best information available regarding inflationary factors,
union contract settlements and anticipated maintenance and equipment needs. Each budget
year is potentially impacted by inflation, state and local policy changes as well as the economy.
The remainder of the budget document provides details about property taxes, property tax rates,
property tax impacts to the community and details of each budget.
Property taxes are levied for the purposes of providing services to the community, supporting
capital needs and providing funding for the Economic Development Authority (EDA). The following
information shows the property tax levy from 2015 — 2018.

Fund Types
The City of Crystal classifies funds into six types: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service
Funds, Capital Project Funds, Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds.
General Fund
As the primary operating fund, the General Fund records all revenues and expenditures that
are not assigned to another fund. The fund provides the resources to sustain the daily activities
for administrative and operating expenses for general government, public safety, public works,
recreation, and community development expenditures. The fund has more diverse revenue sources
than other funds, including property taxes, licenses, permits, fines and forfeits, intergovernmental
revenue (grants), service charges, and investment interest. The General Fund budget can be found on
pages 11-12.
Special Revenue Funds
Certain activities are established or designated by statute, charter or ordinance with defined revenue
sources for a specific and restricted purpose, such as tax increment financing. Funds included in
this fund type are Tax Increment Financing Districts and the Economic Development Fund (EDA).
Tax increment was first received in July 2000 and the last receipt is expected in December 2025
Increments must be spent on activities that promote the development and preservation of affordable
housing. The city has one Tax Increment District: District 2155/ Heather Manor Apartments and The
Heathers Assisted Living Facility at 2900 - 3000 Douglas Dr. N. Information about this fund can be
found on page 13.
Debt Service Funds
Established to account for the payment (from special assessments and other sources) of interest and
principal on long-term debt. The debt schedule and information regarding city bonds may be found
on page 14.
Capital Project Funds
While Capital Project Funds are approved by the City Council on a project -by -project basis, the City
has included the 2018 budgeted projects within this budget document. The use of these fund types
are to account for the monies used for the acquisition and construction of capital projects. Capital
Project Fund budgets can be found on page 15.
Enterprise Funds
Established to account for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of activities that are self-
supporting such as city water and sewer service, storm drainage, recycling and street lights. User fees
predominantly support the operations of these funds. Enterprise fund budgets as well as user rate
impacts can be found on pages 16-17.

In developing the 2018 water, sewer and storm drainage budgets, there are several reasons cost
factors driving the need to increase rates.
Water — projected infrastructure improvements and inflationary costs
Sewer — MCES disposal charges rate increase of 8.5%
Storm Drainage — projected infrastructure improvements and inflationary costs
Operations of the utility funds in 2018 are designed to maintain the infrastructure and level of service
that Crystal residents have been receiving. The staff annually updates a five-year utility rate study
reviewing operations and capital needs.
The City of Crystal receives its water supply through a Joint Water Commission (JWC) with the
cities of Golden Valley and New Hope. The JWC purchases water in a contract with the City of
Minneapolis.
The Water, Sanitary Sewer and Strom Drainage funds plan for significant capital projects over the
next five years. These are needed to replace aging infrastructure and expand the storm drainage
system to areas of the city that are under served.

CITY of
CRYSTAL
DATE: December 5, 2017
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: 800mhz radios for Public Works
Background
The 2018 PIR includes the replacement of the existing 800mhz radios for public works staff.
Similar to police and fire, Hennepin County has notified us that they are phasing out the
current models of 800mhz radios and will no longer be supporting them after 2019. To avoid
potential issues with trying to get the new radios programmed when other agencies are
rushing to replace them in 2019, it was proposed to replace the radios in 2018.
The 800mhz radios are used to communicate within public works, with police and fire, as well
as neighboring public works departments, Hennepin County public works, and getting weather
alerts. In a major event or emergency, the radios have the capability to connect with a wide
variety of users.
When determining the number of radios needed, the controlling factor was a full snowplow
event and making sure all operators have a radio. Public works will be purchasing the following
radios:
A) 15 portable radios for public works staff
B) 3 portable radios with encryption to allow supervisor communication with police
C) 1 fixed radio to be mounted in the vehicle maintenance shop
The radios will be purchased off of the state contract. In working with the vendor, they have
informed us of a rebate program of $500 off per portable radio that expires December 15,
2017. The value of this rebate is $9,000. Due to the cost of the radios and value of this rebate,
and it being unknown if there will be a future rebate, staff is recommending moving forward
with this purchase. After the rebate, the cost for the radios and associated equipment is
$48,748.82. The budget has $55,000 allocated in 2018 for the purchase.

DATE: December 1, 2017
SUBJECT: POLICE EQUIPMENT REVOLVING FUND
MEMORANDUM
Background
The 2018 PERF includes the replacement of the existing 800mhz radios for police staff.
Hennepin County has notified us they are phasing out the current models of radios (both
mobile and portable) and will no longer be supporting them after 2019. Our initial plan was to
purchase half of the radios in early 2018 and the other half in early 2019.
The 800mhz radios are used to communicate within the police department, public works, fire
department, Hennepin County Dispatch, as well as other public safety agencies.
Over the last few years, we have been upgrading our mobile radios through attrition and will
need to upgrade 4 mobile radios. However, our entire fleet of portable radios will no longer
be supported by Hennepin County Radio so we will need to purchase 44 portable radios.
The radios will be purchased off of the state contract. In working with our vendor, they have
informed us of a sale that expires on December 15, 2017. The value of this sale if we took
advantage of it now would be $30,500 (meaning that we would receive additional items to the
radio that is necessary for its use).
Due to this cost savings, staff is recommending moving forward with this purchase and we
have the funds in the Police Equipment Revolving Fund (PERF).
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Memorandum
ory of
CRYSTAL
DATE: November 29, 2017
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Potential for Shared Recreational Facilities
New Hope is in the process of discussing building a new municipal complex, including a
new city hall with police station and a new swimming pool. Crystal and New Hope have
a long history of offering joint pool passes and recreation programming.
Several council members have discussed the potential for shared recreational facilities
to save on long term capital costs for both cities. The Council should discuss its
interest in whether to pursue this. The New Hope City Council will soon be considering
bids for the first phase of construction of its municipal complex, including construction of
a new city hall and demolition of the pool.

OMarket values
determine how
much of
the
property tax "pie"
is allocated
to each
property.
• Residential Homestead, Non -Homestead and
Apartment property values are increasing which
means they make up more of the property tax pie
• Commercial/Industrial property values are flat which
means they make up less of the property tax pie
OThe following maps are intended to show the effect
of market value changes and levy amounts
• Other factors such as changes in classification or
valuation increases related to construction are excluded
OThe maps show that the effects of valuations and
levies on 2018 property taxes are generally:
• A continuation of the 2015-2017 trend
• The opposite of the 2011-2015 trend
• It takes 2-3 years for market
changes to affect property taxes.
• The housing market began
deflating in 2007 then bounced
along the bottom from 2009-2012.
• As residential values declined,
taxes shifted to apartments and
commercial/industrial property.
• Residential areas that saw a larger
decline in home values also saw a
larger tax decrease in 2011-2015.

• The housing market recovery took
off after 2012.
• As residential values have
rebounded, taxes have shifted
from commercial/industrial
property to residential property.
• Residential areas that lost more
value during the crash were now
seeing a larger increase in value.
• Areas that received a larger tax
reduction in 2011-2015 had a
larger increase in 2015-2018.
