Memorandum
DATE: Septmeber 17, 2018
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorizing the statewide public works mutual aid pact
Background
The purpose of this agreement is to provide a process for local units of government to share public
works personnel and equipment with participating agencies. There is no membership or fixed cost to
participate in this public works mutual aid pact.
This agreement should not be interpreted as being limited to only use during catastrophic situations,
rather may be leveraged for routine circumstances such as training efforts and maintenance operations
for example. The decision when to request assistance or provide assistance is left entirely to the
discretion of the requesting and or sending party. The sending party has discretion whether to provide
personnel or equipment and can recall such assistance at any time.
If resources are requested it should be expected that those costs would be invoiced however the
agreement says that “charges may be levied”, so it is the decision of the sending party whether or not
to invoice the receiving party. The agreement also speaks to responsibility and liability. Each party shall
be responsible for its own personnel or damaged equipment for example. Responding personnel shall
be deemed to be performing regular duties for each respective sending party for purposes of workers
compensation.
Hennepin County Emergency Management (HCEM) has volunteered to serve as the administrative
coordinator for this agreement among local units of government. This agreement will better position
Crystal to coordinate and work with its partnering agencies through a formalized agreement which
would become effective October 1, 2018.
The City Attorney was involved in the development of this agreement.

PUBLIC WORKS JOINT POWERS
MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT
FOREWORD
The general purpose of this Public Works Joint Powers Mutual Aid Agreement
(“Agreement”) is to provide a process for units of government to share public works
personnel and equipment with other agencies within the State of Minnesota. This
Agreement specifically allows a requesting party to select the resources that best meets the
needs of a given situation. A requesting party may call upon any other participating party for
mutual aid. There is no requirement to make requests through a particular party. In addition,
this Agreement should not be interpreted as being limited to providing resources to deal
with only major catastrophic situations. Participating parties can utilize the resources for
many reasons including routine circumstances such as training efforts, maintenance
operations, joint-projects, and back-up support service. This Agreement provides the
flexibility for all units of government to use the resources located among all participating
parties in the State of Minnesota.
The decision as to when to invoke mutual aid and whether to respond is left to the discretion
of the requesting or sending party. Each unit of government should acquaint supervisory
personnel with any internal procedures used for mutual aid. While the Joint Powers
Agreement does not require particular words or actions to initiate mutual aid, agencies
should be clear about whether mutual aid is being requested and what type of assistance is
requested. The responding agency should also be clear about what, if any, assistance they
will provide in response to the request. Parties should not self-deploy.
Furthermore, each staff member within a department should have a basic familiarity with
mutual aid, the responsibilities when reporting to another unit of government and the
protections afforded under the unit of government’s workers’ compensation.
For liability reasons, management of a mutual aid situation is under the control of the
requesting party. However, the sending party has discretion whether to provide personnel or
equipment and can recall such assistance at any time.
While there is no hard and fast time limit related to requests for mutual aid, the commitment
of resources can be taxing on agencies. In addition, in some situations an advantage can
be gained by ending a mutual aid request and entering into a different form of contractual
assistance.
In order to keep this mutual aid agreement closer to local level of government, Hennepin
County Emergency Management (“HCEM”) has volunteered to serve as the administrative
coordinator for the units of government entering into this Agreement. When a community
adopts this Agreement a fully executed copy of the Agreement needs to be forwarded to
HCEM.
Each unit of government is responsible for entering and updating available unit of
government resources. Resources will now be listed online in a mutually agreed upon
resource management database. The parties to this Agreement are solely responsible for
updating their available resources in the agreed upon database.
4.6

The effective date for this Agreement is October 1, 2018. This date was established to allow
enough time for agencies to receive the appropriate authority. Participation can be started
upon execution of the Agreement and is effective for a unit of government upon its
submission of the signed Agreement to HCEM. Agencies that elect not to participate in the
Agreement may be bound by other existing mutual aid agreement or state statutes.

IV. PROCEDURE
Subd. 1. Designate Officials. Each Party shall designate, and keep on file with the
HCEM, the name of the person(s) of that Party who shall be its Requesting Official
and Sending Official. A Party may designate the same person as both the
Requesting Official and the Sending Official. Also, a Party may designate one or
more persons to serve as an alternate in the absence of a designated official.
Subd. 2. Request for Assistance. Whenever, in the opinion of a Requesting
Official of a Party, there is a need for Public Works Assistance from another Party,
such Requesting Official may, at his or her discretion, call upon the Sending Official
of any other Party to furnish Public Works Assistance.
Subd. 3. Response. Upon the receipt of a request for Public Works Assistance from
a Party, the Sending Official may authorize and direct personnel and equipment of
the Sending Party be sent to the Requesting Party. Whether the Sending Party
provides such Public Works Assistance to the Requesting Party and, if so, to what
extent such Public Works Assistance is provided shall be determined solely by the
Sending Official (subject to such supervision and direction as may be applicable
within the governmental structure of the Party by which they are employed). Failure
to provide Public Works Assistance will not result in liability to a Party and each
Party hereby waives all claims against another Party for failure to provide Public
Works Assistance.
Subd. 4. Back-Up Assistance. When a Sending Party provides Public Works
Assistance under the terms of this Agreement, it may in turn request Public Works
Assistance from other Parties as “back-up” during the period it is it outside of its
jurisdiction providing Public Works Assistance to the original Requesting Party.
Subd. 5. Recalling Assistance. Whenever a Sending Party has provided Public
Works Assistance to a Requesting Party, the Sending Official may at any time recall
its personnel and equipment, or any part thereof, if the Sending Official in his or her
best judgment deems such recall is necessary to provide for the best interests of the
Sending Party’s community. Such action will not result in liability to any Party and
each Party hereby waives all claims against another Party for recalling Public Works
Assistance.
4.6
6
Subd. 6. Command of Scene. The Requesting Party shall be in command of all
situations where Public Works Assistance is provided. The personnel and equipment
of the Sending Party shall be under the direction and control of the Requesting Party
until the Sending Party withdraws Public Works Assistance or the Public Works
Assistance is no longer needed.
Subd. 7. Charges. Charges may be levied by a Sending Party for Public Works
Assistance rendered to a Requesting Party under the terms of this Agreement. The
Sending Party may submit to the Requesting Party an itemized bill for the actual cost
of any Public Works Assistance provided, including salaries, overtime, materials, and
supplies, equipment operation, and other necessary expenses. The Requesting
Party will reimburse the Sending Party providing the Public Works Assistance for
that amount or other such amount as mutually negotiated. Such charges are not
contingent upon the availability of federal or state government funds. A Party may
request a list of rates from another Party prior to requesting assistance. No charges
shall apply to joint training events unless the Parties participating in the particular
event agree to a charge in writing prior to the event.
V. RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY
Subd. 1. Personnel. Each Party shall be responsible for its own personnel and
equipment, and for injuries or death to any such personnel or damage to any such
equipment. Responding personnel shall be deemed to be performing their regular
duties for each respective Sending Party for purposes of workers’ compensation.
Subd. 2. Worker’s Compensation. Each Party will maintain workers’ compensation
insurance or self-insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are
providing Public Works Assistance pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party, and
where applicable its insurer or coverage provider, waives the right to sue any other
Party for any worker’s compensation benefits paid to its own employee or volunteer
or their dependents, even if the injuries or death were caused wholly or partially by
the negligence of any other Party or its officers, employees, or volunteers.
Subd. 3. Damage to Equipment. Each Party shall be responsible for damages to or
loss of its own equipment. Each Party, and where applicable its insurer or coverage
provider, waives the right to sue any other Party for any damages to or loss of its
equipment, even if the damages or losses were caused wholly or partially by the
negligence of any other Party or its officers, employees or volunteers.
Subd. 4. Liability. For the purposes of the Minnesota Municipal Tort Liability Act
(Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466), the employees and officers of the Sending Party
are deemed to be employees (as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 466.01,
subdivision 6) of the Requesting Party.
The Requesting Party agrees to defend and indemnify the Sending Party against
any claims brought or actions filed against a Sending Party or any officers,
employees, or volunteers of a Sending Party for injury or death to any third person or
persons or damage to the property of third persons arising out of the performance
and provision of Public Works Assistance pursuant to the Agreement. Under no
4.6
7
circumstances, however, shall a Party be required to pay, on behalf of itself and
other Parties, any amount in excess of the limits of liability established in Minnesota
Statutes, chapter 466, applicable to any one Party. The limits of liability for some or
all of the Parties may not, as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59,
subdivision 1a, be added together to determine the maximum amount of liability for
any Party.
The intent of this subdivision is to impose on each Requesting Party a limited duty to
defend and indemnify a Sending Party for claims arising within the Requesting
Party’s jurisdiction subject to the limits of liability under Minnesota Statutes, chapter
466. The purpose of creating this duty to defend and indemnify is to simplify the
defense of claims by eliminating conflicts among the Parties and to permit liability
claims against the Parties from a single occurrence to be defended by a single
attorney. However, the Sending Party, at is option and its own expense, shall have
the right to select its own attorney or approve a joint attorney as appropriate,
considering potential conflicts of interest. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
constitute a waiver of any immunities and privileges from liability available under
federal law or the laws of Minnesota. If a court determines that the liability of a Party
or Parties is not subject to the tort caps and liability exceeds the tort cap maximum, a
Party shall be subject to liability only for the acts of its officers, employees and
volunteers.
No Party to this Agreement nor any official, employee or volunteer of any Party shall
be liable to any other Party or to any other person for failure of any Party to furnish
Public Works Assistance or for recalling Public Works Assistance.
VI. EFFECTIVE DATE AND MODIFICATIONS
This Agreement shall become effective and operative beginning at 12:01 A.M., local
time on October 1, 2018. The HCEM shall maintain a current list of the Parties to
this Agreement and, whenever there is a change, shall notify the designated
Sending Officials. Notice may be sent to the Sending Officials via email or through
the United States Postal Service. No modification of this Agreement shall be
effective unless it is reduced to writing and is approved by action of the governing
body of each of the then current Parties.
VII. WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
A Party may withdraw from this Agreement by its governing body adopting a
resolution to withdraw. Withdrawal is effective after 30 days’ written notice is
provided to the HCEM. HCEM shall thereupon give notice of such withdrawal, and
the effective date thereof, to all other Parties. Parties that have withdrawn may rejoin
by following the procedure set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement will terminate
with respect to all Parties if the total number of Parties to the Agreement falls below
11. HCEM shall notify the remaining Parties that the Agreement has terminated.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider adoption of a resolution approving the
vacation of drainage and utility easements
A.BACKGROUND
The City Council is being asked to adopt a resolution in attachment A to vacate city-owned
drainage and utility easements within the Holmquist and Tschudy subdivisions. These two
parcels, located at 5747 and 5751 West Broadway, are being combined into one parcel by the
proposed Morgantaylor Addition plat.
Attachment:
A.Resolution
B.PROPOSED EASEMENT VACATION
On June 5, 2018, the City’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) sold the property at 5751
West Broadway to FTKD Properties, who owns the adjacent property at 5747 West Broadway.
As a condition of the sale, FTKD agreed to submit a lot consolidation application to combine
both lots into one parcel.
The two properties that are to be combined are located within the Holmquist Addition, which
was approved by the city in 1967, and the Tschudy Addition, which was approved by the city in
1970. Drainage and utility easements were dedicated on both plats at the time of approval.
These properties are now being replatted as the Morgantaylor Addition, which combines the two
parcels into one. New drainage and utility easements are dedicated on the Morgantaylor
Addition plat so the existing easements in the Holmquist and Tschudy Addition plats are no
longer needed.
Notice of the September 17 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on September 6, and
mailed to four utility companies: Comcast, CenterPoint Energy, Xcel Energy, and CenturyLink.
All four companies have responded by saying they have no objection to the easements being
vacated.
C.REQUESTED ACTION
City staff recommends that the drainage and utility easements located within the Holmquist and
Tschudy Additions be vacated.
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (attachment A) is requested.

7.2
MORGANTAYLOR ADDITION – LOT CONSOLIDATION APPLICATION
PAGE 2 OF 3
34,171 sq. ft. (0.8 acre) Total area to be combined
Final plat features
The proposed plat would be named Morgantaylor Addition. Since the plat abuts
a county roadway (West Broadway), Hennepin County staff has reviewed this lot
consolidation request and finds it acceptable. The following are the notable
features of this final plat:
1. Easements
There are no existing overhead private utility lines on the property, but new
drainage and utility easements are dedicated with this new plat. Existing
easements on the property will be vacated and replaced with the new
easements. The city also has a stormwater easement over the entire property
at 5751 West Broadway, which provides a future opportunity for the city to
install an underground stormwater storage facility. The city attorney has
confirmed that this easement will survive the replatting.
2. Park dedication – According to city code section 510.23, Subd. 3 (d), lot
consolidation applications are not subject to park dedication requirements.
Criteria for approval of a lot consolidation
The following are the approval criteria in city code section 510.23, Subd. 3 for
approval of lot consolidation applications, followed by staff’s findings of these
criteria.
(a) The consolidation must be in general compliance with the comprehensive
plan.
Findings: On the 2030 Planned Land Use map, the properties are
guided as General Commercial, which is described as “offices,
restaurants, and some auto-oriented businesses (on certain corridors
designated in the zoning ordinance)”. The existing and proposed
office use, with associated parking, is in conformance with this land
use designation.
(b) The consolidation must meet the purpose and intent of this unified
development code (UDC).
Findings: The purpose of the UDC is to establish regulations that allow
for the development of properties, but which avoid or minimize
negative impacts to the general public or adjacent properties. Since
the existing use of the property does not produce negative impacts and
this use is not proposed to change, the lot consolidation is in
conformance to this criteria.
7.2
MORGANTAYLOR ADDITION – LOT CONSOLIDATION APPLICATION
PAGE 3 OF 3
(c) Unless prior or concurrent approval of a variance is granted, any such
consolidation shall result in lots that, to the greatest extent possible, meet
the dimensional requirements for the zoning district in which the property is
located, and shall not further increase the nonconformity of any lot
dimension or structure.
Findings: No variances are proposed for this lot consolidation.
Currently the two individual parcels do not meet the 20,000 minimum
lot area requirement of the Commercial zoning district. With this lot
consolidation the combined parcel will meet this minimum
requirement. Therefore the consolidation of these two properties into
one parcel creates a property that conforms to the UDC.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
City Council motion to approve the proposed resolution (Attachment C) is
requested.

TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for September 17 Council meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider a resolution awarding a contract for installation of water
and sanitary sewer improvements for Cavanagh View Addition
BACKGROUND
As part of the surplus property lot sale project, the city is preparing to sell the lots at
5006, 5012 and 5018 Vera Cruz Avenue North (Cavanagh View Addition) to Tollberg
Homes for a combined price of $185,000. The city would first need to install sewer,
water and related improvements to serve the three lots. The engineer’s estimated cost
for this work was $55,000 (illustration attached).
QUOTES RECEIVED
Staff solicited quotes from four qualified utility contractors and received one proposal:
$70,000 Dave Perkins Contracting (copy attached)
Staff recommends acceptance of this proposal.
Please note that this is a challenging time of year to find utility contractors. Most are
already booked through the rest of the season. Also, labor is in short supply and
material costs are increasing. So while it may be tempting to consider delaying this work
by seeking new quotes in early 2019 for completion in May and lot sales in June, the
prices may not be lower anyway. If we proceed now, the lot sales will close by the end
of October and the builder intends to start all three houses this fall before the ground
freezes.

was estimated at previous Council decision points:

knew much about the properties
• 6/5, after we learned more about the challenge of getting sewer to the Vera Cruz
lots, when the Council declared the properties and directed staff to start the
development and sale process

2019 Sanitary Sewer CIPP Lining Project #2019-01
Summary
The 2019 Capital Improvement Program for the Sanitary Sewer Fund allocated $600,000 for the
replacement or rehabilitation (CIPP lining) of city sanitary sewer mains. CIPP lining is the process
through which the existing sanitary sewer main is completely lined with a hard plastic material that
provides both structural strength and covers any cracks, or other minor issues, in the existing pipe. The
Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) process has been successfully used previously in the City and is an effective
and efficient way to rehabilitate old sewer lines without the expense or inconvenience of an open
excavation.
The primary area scheduled for sanitary sewer lining in 2019 is the North Lions Park Neighborhood.
Additionally, the sanitary sewer line through the middle of Becker Park will also be lined in advance of
the park project in later spring/summer 2019. Finally, 345 feet of structurally compromised 15” storm
sewer pipe in the backyard of some homes in the Brownwood Neighborhood will also be lined.
The total estimated project cost is nearly $530,000 ($600,000 is budgeted). The work is scheduled to
be completed by August 16, 2019, with an earlier completion date for the Becker Park portion of the
work.

I. Introduction
The City of Crystal , Minnesota (the City) owns and operates the Water, Sanitary Sewer and Storm Water utilities and is
responsible for maintaining the infrastructure to serve the residents. The City’s infrastructure (water, sanitary sewer,
storm sewer) is 40-60 years old and in need of maintenance and replacement. The City is adopting a more proactive
approach with an intentional focus on planning and coordinating projects. As part of this proactive approach, the City is
developing and implementing a long term plan for its utilities and the rate analysis provided here is a significant step in
this challenging process.
The City has four customer classes, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Residential. The tables below summarize
the number of customers by class. W ater service is billed based on consumption and Sanitary Sewer service is currently
a flat rate. Billing is done on a quarterly basis with one third of the city billed each month.
Customer Class Number

Commercial 213
Industrial 24
Institutional 23
Residential 7,693
Grand Total 7,953
This rate study analyzes the cash flows of the Water and Sanitary Sewer utilities of the City. Sources and uses of cash
are projected for the years ending December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2028. The study uses the current number and
type of accounts to project future revenue at a suggested rate for each of the utility funds, each year.
This rate study does not analyze the Storm Water Utility but rather provides rate and financial projections based on
discussions held by the City Council during the 2018 budget process.
Annual capital costs are projected separately for each of the funds for the projection period. The City has a Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) that goes from 2019 to 2023. Averages for that 5 year period were used to estimate capital
spending from 2024 to 2028.
The financial projection is based on billings at the current rate with an inflationary increase Scenario 1 and increased
variedly over a number of periods in Scenario 2. Expense assumptions are outlined in the assumptions section on the
following page and present, to the best of management’s knowledge and belief, the City’s expected results of cash flows
for the projection period if such uses of cash occur. Accordingly, the projection reflects management’s judgment, as of the
date of this projection, of the expected conditions and the City’s expected course of action if such usage and expense
totals were attained. The presentation is designed to provide information to the City Council concerning recovery of
expenses that might be achieved if rates were adjusted and should not be considered to be a presentation of expected
future results. Accordingly, this projection may not be useful for other purposes. The assumptions disclosed herein are
those that management believes are significant to the projection. Furthermore, there will usually be differences between
projected and actual results, because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected and those
differences may be material.

II. Assumptions
Water Fund
• Both scenarios assume fees are inflated at least 3% annually. Scenario 2 assumes additional increases to the
inflationary increase over several years to meet the targets.
• Operating expense inflation is assumed to be 3%.
• An increase in residential users is estimated at an average of 36 users from 2019 – 2028 based on estimated
population increase estimates for 2018 - 2025 provided by the City. Additional billing revenues is assumed at the
average consumption rate of 9,000 gallons for water quarterly.
• Planned acquisition of capital assets is taken from the City CIP and the average for those five years is used as an
estimate for years 2024 through 2028.
• The City currently charges a State Water Testing Fee of $1.59 per quarter. This fee is not included in the
calculations as it is pass-through revenue.
• The projections are based on a Meter Fee assumed to be $6.03 for a 5/8 inch meter as indicated in the table
below. It is recommended the City charge a Meter Fee based on meter size with increases based on an
equivalent meter ratio. A sample table is presented below.
Meter Size
Equivalent
Meter Ratio
Proposed
Meter Fee
5/8-Inch 1.0 6.03$
3/4-Inch 1.1 6.63
1-Inch 1.4 8.44
1 1/2-Inch 1.8 10.85
2-Inch 2.9 17.47
3-Inch 11.0 66.28
4-Inch 14.0 84.36
6-Inch 21.0 126.54
8-Inch 29.0 174.74
• Target cash reserve will be set at 100% of the following year’s debt service and average capital and 50%
of the following years operating expenses. The Water utility currently does not have any debt. Based on
the current state, the cash balance will not be sufficient to meet the target and operating cash will not
generate enough surplus to cover the following year’s operating expenses. Scenario 2 creates positive
cash flow sufficient to hit the targeted cash balance by the end of the projection.

II. Assumptions (Continued)
Sanitary Sewer Fund
• Both scenarios assume fees are inflated at least 3% annually. Scenario 2 assumes additional increases to the
rates are applied over several periods.
• Operating expense inflation is assumed to be 3%.
• An increase in residential users is estimated at an average of 36 users from 2019 – 2028 based on estimated
population increase estimates for 2018 - 2025 provided by the City. Additional billing revenues is assumed at the
average consumption rate for water of 9,000 gallons based on the winter water consumption average rate for the
months of November, December, January, February and March of 2017.
• Planned acquisition of capital assets is taken from the City CIP and the average for those five years is used as an
estimate for years 2024 through 2028.
• Target cash reserve will be set at 100% of the following year’s debt service and average capital and 50%
of the following years operating expenses. The Sanitary Sewer utility does not have any debt. Based on
the current state, the cash balance will not be sufficient to meet the target and operating cash will not
generate enough surplus to cover the following year’s operating expenses. Scenario 2 creates positive
cash flow sufficient to hit the targeted cash balance by the end of the projection.
A schedule of the planned capital projects are listed below.
The assumption is that the City will be doing these projects at some point during the projection period.

Rates
A summary of the current rates and proposed rates are listed below. Currently Sanitary Sewer is a flat fee structure, the
proposed rates are based on a consumption fee structure with consumption based on the estimated average water
consumption over the winter months. Converting to a consumption based fee structure as well as annual inflationary
increases will result in cash flows that will achieve the annual targets in Scenario 2.
