Revised 2010 Operating Budget Proposal

ra" (-a2/ ..74 .71
The upcoming Coordinating Committee meeting on July 29, 2009 marks the latest in a series of
meetings since the initial budget proposal was presented. It has been refined several times based
on the direction received from Coordinating Committee members and other contributing factors.
Some difficult decisions had to be made due to current economic conditions and the financial
challenges confronting the member cities. Staff has worked diligently to achieve a budget
proposal that balances operational needs with a funding request that can be supported by the
member cities. Although the proposal now before the Coordinating Committee has presumably
achieved this objective, it is not without some vulnerabilities and shortcomings as already
identified in previous documents and presentations. It also put on hold addressing the strategic
goals that were identified last year as being key to the future of the organization. This could
change if one or more of the federal stimulus grants applied for by the department were to be
approved in the coming months.
The budget now before the Coordinating Committee is the product of a methodical process that
has further reduced what was already a lean initial proposal. The increase to the member cities
has been reduced from 3.1 percent to a nominal 0.7 percent. This is less than the benchmark set
by the Shorewood City Administrator of no more than 0.86 percent. If not for the projected loss
of operating revenues, the cost to the member cities would have actually declined from 2009.
Although the current proposal shows an overall reduction in expenses of 0.3 percent, this is
countered with a loss in operating revenues of 8.5 percent.
Included with the attached budget spreadsheets are detailed line item narratives for both expenses
and revenues. Unlike many budgets, which use generic and boilerplate language, these narratives
are specific to this budget proposal and explain the key components for each category. The same
has been done for the funds supporting operations section of this budget proposal. Some of the
more significant factors have been highlighted in this summary.

t
Serving the South Lake Minnetonka Communities of Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood and Tonka Say
; A 8 f rm ~~ug Budget Proposal
The majority of costs on the expense side are payroll related. A number of factors have
contributed to there being a declining payroll for 2010. Recent and pending retirements of senior
employees have temporarily reduced payroll costs, since new hires generally start at the lower
end of the pay scale. When the initial budget proposal was prepared there was a possible
retirement later in 2009 that would have been premature to take into account at the time. Now
that this has become more of a certainty, payroll has been adjusted accordingly resulting in a
further decline. Additionally, the Coordinating Committee has opted to hold the line on wages
for 2010 other than scheduled step increases and other obligations. It is important to keep in
mind, however, that the majority of full-time personnel are unionized and defined by state law as
"essential employees." Consequently, binding arbitration replaces their right to strike. If union
negotiations for 2010 end up in arbitration, the department would have to honor the arbitration
award even though it has not been factored into the budget.
All expense items were reviewed for further reductions as recommended by the Coordinating
Committee. A number of these were tweaked in order to reflect no increases, which in actuality
means less can be purchased with the same dollar amount if vendor prices increase. Other than
payroll items, the utilities category was proportionately reduced the most through this process
after reevaluating electricity and natural gas expenses for the building. The department recently
retained a controls expert to fine-tune the HVAC system. So far, this seems to have made a
discernable difference on the heating side, where increasing the efficiency of the boilers
translates into less natural gas usage. Although preliminary results are encouraging, it seemed
premature when preparing the initial budget proposal to take this into account before going
through an annual heating cycle. Nevertheless, the current proposal assumes this trend will
continue and more than offset any price increases. Additionally, there is no longer a hedge
factored into the equation for the volatility in pricing for electricity and natural gas. Projected
costs are based on past expenses without taking into account any potential rate hikes. This
approach would be less concerning if the department maintained a higher reserve fund balance.
The most significant revenue shortfalls are state police officer aid and investment income. These
projections have been adjusted downward even further to account for there being no margin in
the current budget proposal to absorb a further decline in revenues. This will be problematic if
these or other revenues fall short of projections.
There are other shortcomings about this budget proposal that need to be on the radar screen.
These include the annual transfers that are made from the operating budget to funds in support of
operations. The most dire of these is the insurance fund, where the annual transfers to this fund
from the operating budget have not kept pace with rising insurance costs. It is anticipated this
fund will likely be depleted by the end of 2009. Although the transfer amount to this fund has
been increased significantly for 2010, it will likely need additional hikes in subsequent years to
keep the fund out of a deficit balance. The balance in the technology fund is well below what is
needed to maintain and replace critical hardware and software. Additionally, the annual transfer
to this fund from the operating budget is barely enough to satisfy the annual lease, maintenance
- I erating Budget Proposal
k ~ ~4
Another focal point of concern is the capital maintenance of the public safety facility. The
operating budget supports the routine maintenance of the public safety facility, including the
scheduled service of equipment. This is a shared liability with the Excelsior Fire District (EFD).
However, there is still no plan in place to fund the long-term capital maintenance of the facility,
even though this has been mentioned numerous times in the past. It was one of the strategic
goals highlighted last year as being critically important to maintaining the functionality of the
facility as well as preserving this community asset. As a temporary measure, the department has
been relying on the building fund that was initially established for its previous facility in
Excelsior. It also funded the study of partnering with the EFD on a joint public safety facility,
which ultimately occurred. This fund is not supported by the operating budget, other than when
there has been a transfer of favorable year-end revenues. This fund is currently being tapped to
pay the police portion of replacing the hazardous sections of the sidewalk outside the front
entrance to the facility. This cost, coupled with some recent repair issues, will likely deplete
much of the remaining fund balance, leaving the department with little in reserve to cover any
further capital maintenance costs. As previously noted, the SLMPD proportionately has a leaner
reserve fund balance than any of the member cities or the EFD. This provides little cushion at a
time when there is a downturn in the economy and the operating budget is at a minimum. The
department will soon have no other option but to invoice the member cities for capital building
costs.
Although current economic conditions have put on hold the prospect of incorporating the
recommendations of the 2008 Strategic Planning Group, the need still exists and will only
intensify in the years to come. It is important not to lose sight of the four strategic goals that
were identified:
Establish a timetable for phasing in additional police officers earmarked for the patrol
division.
P* Increase the overtime budget so that manpower issues due to training, illness, injured on duty,
time off requests, etc. can be more readily accommodated in the work schedule.
Maintain pace with changing technology. Have a sufficient fund balance available to
upgrade, replace and add new technologies.
Establish a capital fund for the long-term care and maintenance of the public safety facility.

The most immediate need continues to be phasing in additional police officers earmarked for the
patrol division. The attached article that appeared earlier this year in the Lakeshore Weekly
News reaffirms that the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SL D) continues to have
the least number of police officers per thousand residents of any police department in the Lake
Minnetonka area. While a few of these police departments may be considering staffing
reductions, the SLMPD is already well below where these agencies may be heading and has been
so for years. This has significantly lowered the cost to SLMPD member cities over what their
neighboring cities have proportionately paid over the same period. Being so far to the extreme,
however, is not a good thing as illustrated through the strategic planning process last year. The
attached Position Statement signed by each member of the 2008 Coordinating Committee
emphasizes the importance of addressing this staffing issue as soon as financially feasible.
Although the revised operating budget proposal being presented at the July 29th Coordinating
Committee meeting is less than ideal, it should be able to maintain operations for 2010 barring
any of the vulnerabilities already identified. However, it is not a sustainable model and the long-
term implications will have to be addressed in future years. This is not a good situation to be in
when it comes to public safety, which is one of the most important services provided by local
government and directly impacts the quality of life in the community.

Coordinating Committee Position Statement
South Lake Minnetonka Police Department
The Coordinating Committee for the South Lake Minnetonka Police Department initiated a
strategic planning initiative to identify current and future needs of the organization. In that light,
a Strategic Planning Group (SPG) was formed comprised of the Mayors and one additional
representative from each City Council. This means that 40% of the total Council membership
was involved in the process. The SPG met several times for some 81/2 hours before producing a
Strategic Action Plan for consideration by the Councils. To that point, SPG members were
deeply involved in the process and there were no objections to the final product by the SPG.
The approach attitude was one of listening to input from the Chief, with a pervasively
conservative fiscal overtone and skepticism regarding need. While we acknowledged the Chief
as a solid professional who knows much more about law enforcement than we do, we were,
nevertheless, unwilling to simply "rubber-stamp" his recommendations. Multiple thorough
presentations from the Chief drew numerous probing questions, first about need, then about
potential cost as we sought justification for such a change. What follows is an accumulation of
facts, information and conclusions that came to light as a result.
Providing adequate public safety is the #1 responsibility of government. Statistically, the
SLMPD is far and away the leanest police department in a very wide surrounding area. Lean is
not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself unless it presents inherently related problems that
undermine the department's ability to provide that crucial responsibility of public safety. The
current staff level results in widespread single-officer patrol coverage (one officer on duty with
no back-up) for the entire SLMPD area. Current staff levels undermine opportunities for time
off, relief for needs such as health, injury, stress and more. Current staff levels add stress in
these ways as well as increased danger on the job. Our officers have taken up a career which
brings risk to their lives at any time. Single coverage increases that risk. It also changes the way
officers respond to certain types of calls. If an officer has no back-up, should he wait on a
domestic call until another agency becomes available to assist or not actively pursue DUI
violators knowing he will be tied up for two to three hours with no one on patrol? This factors in
to why officers have left the SLMPD for larger departments. Turnover is expensive in any
organization. Recruiting the highest quality personnel is more difficult for an understaffed
department. Staffing with minimal numbers is very difficult. It is like having no financial
reserves-there's no "well" to go to when you need it.
The SLMPD is a very efficient operation. Yet questions arise: Is it optimally efficient? It can't
be when officers are regularly forced into a reactive rather than a proactive mode. Does the
current staffing level undermine officers' ability to be all they can be in pursuit of the public's
best interest? Yes, for the same reason. Would the addition of personnel make the department
optimally efficient? Maybe, maybe not, but it will significantly mitigate the damage. Mayors
and other SPG members acknowledged a new level of awareness when presented with the graph
indicating how often there is only one officer on duty and when informed of the effect on officer
psychology. Understaffing endangers not only the public but the officers as well. Their safety is
every bit as important as our own. Mayor LaBelle summarized our conclusion with "We need to
protect those who protect us". With all the funds spent on the facility, equipment, and staff, we
cannot be optimally efficient if officers cannot freely respond to all calls.
The SLMPD is doing a great job making the most of the staff level they have to work with, but
this still doesn't meet the public's real need in this area, especially considering its size, slow
roads, and indirect routes. Also, consider the growth in the surrounding areas whose populations
often enter our area for its natural attractions. More calls are requiring multi-officer response
such as medicals needing use of a defibrillator.
The fact that the SLMPD is understaffed is not a new issue. It simply has been put on the back
burner for the last 6-7 years, in favor of the new facility and funding formula issues. Chief
Litsey has continually informed the cities of this critical issue, but he has been told to make due
until those issues are resolved. Well, now they have been and the issue of adequate staffing is
before us. No one can deny the statistics: compared to all other area departments, the SLMPD is
the lowest staffed per 1,000 residents. A supervisor for a neighboring police agency recently
commented that whenever they dropped to single officer coverage, "it has always come back to
bite us". It would take four additional officers to get our department to the "average" level and
that is what the Chief recognizes is most appropriate. The SPG has told him this is too large of a
leap, but it has also acknowledged the status-quo is unacceptable.
The public's perception of their safety exceeds reality. Feedback from the public indicates they
would be surprised to know how often our area is covered by only one on-duty patrol officer.
They would likely favor more even if it costs more. In analyzing the issue for value: cost vs.
need, we have to acknowledge that not all issues are quantifiable. We tried to use quantitative
data and still step back and see the big picture, use introspection and intuitive, qualitative
reasoning to make appropriate decisions. Budgeting and funding must always follow a "needs
analysis." Police protection is like insurance-nobody likes to pay for it until they need it. The
question is value. How much do we need? Can we afford two additional officers? More
importantly, can we afford to remain under-protected?
We as the Coordinating Committee take our duty to provide for the public safety needs very
seriously, and therefore, recommend to our Councils the implementation of the strategic plan by
supporting the requested funding in the 2009 budget.
The following Coordinating Committee members support this Position Statement as
amended at the Coordinating Committee meeting on June 25, 2008.

Prepared by Chief Bryan Lilsey
PROJECTED EXPENSES
50100 - SALARIES - FULL-TIME
This line item includes full-time salaries for union and non-union personnel. No additional frill-time
positions have been factored into this budget proposal, even though the 2008 Strategic Planning
Group identified the need for additional police officers. There may be an opportunity to hire an
additional police officer if the grant application submitted by the department receives approval
through the COPS Hiring Recovery Program. The majority of full-time personnel are unionized and
defined by state law as "essential employees." Consequently, binding arbitration replaces their right
to strike. Although the union contract has yet to be negotiated for 2010, wage increases are
normally factored in this category based on trends, comparative data and what an arbitrator would
possibly award if an agreement cannot be reached. Given current economic conditions, the
Coordinating Committee has decided to hold the line on wages for 2010 other than scheduled step
increases and other obligations. Union personnel have the option of contesting this through
arbitration, at which point the department would be required to honor any increases that are awarded
even though this has not been factored into the budget. This wage freeze, coupled with the recent
and pending retirements of senior personnel, has resulted in a payroll reduction for 2010. It is
important to note that payroll savings due to retirements are temporary and this will diminish as their
replacements ascend through the salary schedule. Additionally, there are also considerable costs to
other categories when it comes to the hiring, outfitting and training of new personnel.
50200 - SALARIES - OVERTIME
This line item includes overtime paid to personnel working on holidays and in excess of their
regularly scheduled time. The latter of these can be impacted by a number of variables such as
staffing and activity levels. The amount in this category is not sufficient enough to consistently use
overtime to backfill vacancies in the patrol schedule due to time off requests, illnesses, work related
injuries, training, special assignments, etc. This deficiency was identified by the 2008 Strategic
Planning Group as one of key goals that needed to be addressed in terms of officer and public safety
as well as the delivery of services. It has been put on hold due to budget constraints. Overtime paid
for court appearances, educational programs in the schools and policing special events are
reimbursed and reflected under revenues. A more recent addition to this category is the reimbursable
overtime associated with officers working weekend nights during the busier summer months at two
popular lakefront restaurants in Excelsior. Referred to as the Bar Cop Detail, this started out as a
pilot project in 2007 and has continued since as a seasonal detail with only slight modifications. It
is anticipated this partnership arrangement with Maynard's Restaurant and BayView Event
Center/Bayside Grille will continue in 2010. Also under this category is the reimbursable overtime
associated with officers working Operation NightCAP administered through the Minnesota State
Patrol. This program funds saturation patrols focused on getting impaired drivers off the roads.
Another overtime detail is alcohol compliance checks, which if approved, will be reimbursed
through a state grant. New to this category is the reimbursable overtime associated with the SLMPD
participating in the Western Hennepin County Safe & Sober Group for 2009-2010. The SLMPD is
one of nine local law enforcement agencies that collectively applied for and received funding for a
number of traffic enforcement initiatives throughout the grant period. Absent the grant, this category
would have declined from what was budgeted for in 2009. It is important to keep in mind that this
category varies from year-to-year depending on the number and status of overtime projects, special
policing requests, etc.
50300 - SALARIES - PART-TIME
This line item includes salaries for the part-time front office personnel and community service officer
positions. Given current economic conditions, the Coordinating Committee has decided to hold the
line on wages for 2010 other than scheduled step increases and other obligations. This category also
includes the seasonal positions associated with providing park and dock patrol services in Excelsior.
These additional services need to be formally approved each year by all the member cities pursuant
to the current Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). Reimbursement from the City of Excelsior for
providing these services is reflected under revenues. There may be an opportunity to hire an
additional police officer to work on a part-time basis if the proposal submitted by the department
receives approval through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. This .6 FTE (full time
equivalent) position averaging 1248 hours per year would be funded by the grant over a two year
period starting on January 1, 2010. This position would be used to help maintain or increase the
scheduled number of patrol officers per shift. This was an identified need through the strategic
planning process. Being the process is in the early stages, this grant application is being mentioned
but not included in this proposed budget.
50500 - SOCIAL SECURITY & MEDICARE
This line item includes the required employer contributions for those personnel covered under the
federally mandated social security and medicare programs. There are no expected rate changes for
2010. There would have been a decrease in this category if not for the fact that a contribution to
medicare is now required for all newly hired police officers.
50600 - PERA PENSIONS
This line item includes the required employer contributions for those personnel covered under the
state mandated Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). A pension bill passed by the
2005 Minnesota Legislature mandated greater contributions from both the employer and the
employee. This was a necessary measure to sustain adequate funding levels for both the Coordinated
and Police & Fire Plans. To mitigate the impact, these increases were scheduled to be phased in
I Ul 0
between 2006 and 2010 for the Coordinated Plan and between 2006 and 2009 for the Police & Fire
Plan. Police officers are covered under the latter plan, which has leveled off at 14.10 percent for
the employer contribution. The downside is that there will be a shortfall in anticipated revenue from
State Police Officer Aid, which is based on what the employer collectively contributed the previous
year to police officer pensions. This is explained in more detail in the revenue narrative. The
Coordinated Plan will experience another rate increase for 2010, topping out at 7.0 percent in
addition to a social security contribution. This category is interrelated with salaries and thus there
is an overall decline for 2010.
50700 - INSURANCE BENEFITS
This line item includes the employer contribution toward health, life and supplemental insurance for
eligible personnel. The majority of expense under this category is for health insurance. To help
mitigate the ever increasing cost of providing this benefit for employees, the department is part of
a consortium of local governmental agencies that collectively negotiate with providers to obtain the
best possible contract. This alliance is called the LOGIS Health Care Group. The last time the
contract went out for bids there was a switch in providers from Medica to HealthPartners. The
current three year contract with HealthPartners (2008-2010) caps the increase for 2010 at sixteen
(16) percent. This comes on the heels of what was only a modest increase in 2008 followed by a
sixteen (16) percent increase in 2009. Although the exact amount of the increase will not be known
until after this budget needs to be approved, available information suggests it will be at the
maximum allowable amount of sixteen (16) percent. This category reflects what the employer
contribution will likely be based on past history.
51000 - CONTRACTED SERVICES
This line item includes a number of professional services for such things as the annual audit and
other financial services; legal counsel for departmental affairs; recorder for governing board
meetings; availability of interpreters to communicate with non-English speaking suspects, victims
and witnesses; fees associated with providing direct deposit for employees; and pre-employment
medical and psychological examinations for personnel hired during the year. Trying to accurately
predict what legal resources might be needed in any given year can be difficult. This is mitigated
by the fact that most significant legal expenses will arise out of actions covered by the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). Recent additions to this category include fees associated
with direct deposit and a recorder for meetings. The fees associated with providing direct deposit
for employees was previously under the category of Printing and Publishing. Increases for some of
these services have been factored into this category.
52140 - EQUIPMENT LEASES
This line item includes lease and maintenance agreements for such things as connecting to the state
criminal justice information system (CJIS), postage meter and multifunctional copier with
2-
a ~ s
networking capabilities for copying, faxing, scanning and printing. The most significant expense
under this category is the annual transfer made to the Technology Fund. Please refer to the "Funds
Supporting Operations" section of this proposal for a more detailed explanation of this special fund.
This transfer is well below what is needed to sustain an adequate fund balance to meet anticipated
needs in the coming years. One of the key strategic goals identified by the 2008 Strategic Planning
Group was increasing the transfer to this fund to help keep pace with technology. It has been put on
hold since that time due to budget constraints. A new remote access charge to interface with the
state criminal justice network has contributed to a nominal increase to this category.
52200 - REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE
This line item covers such things as the repair of office equipment and furniture, preventative
building maintenance, vehicle repairs, support for technology and calibrating specialized equipment.
A number of maintenance agreements have been secured for critical building components such as
the heating/cooling systems, boiler inspections, communications, emergency generator, elevator,
security gate, etc. Many of these expenses are shared with the Excelsior Fire District (EFD) as joint
tenants of the building. These maintenance agreements are necessary not only to prevent the
disruption of emergency services, but also to extend the useful life of equipment. The same is true
when it comes to vehicle maintenance, which is the most significant expense under this category.
It is important that our fleet of vehicles be maintained in top-notch condition given the reliance
placed on them for emergency response. New to this category is the shared expense of maintaining
the command vehicle housed by the Mound Police Department, but available to all law enforcement
agencies in the Lake Minnetonka area. Maintaining a reliable computer network with
interoperability capabilities requires specialized technical support along with having a number of
user/maintenance agreements in place. As dependence on technology increases so does the expense
of keeping it operational. Other items in this category include the cost of calibrating specialized
equipment such as speed measuring devices and truck scales. There is also a nominal contribution
to the Firearms Range Fund. Please refer to the "Funds Supporting Operations" section of this
proposal for a more detailed explanation of this special fund. The increase to this category has been
kept to a minimum, even through there are new and added expenses under this category.
52300 - UTILITIES
The majority of expenses under this line item are associated with the public safety facility that serves
as headquarters for the SLMPD and the Excelsior Fire District (EFD). Shared costs include regular
phone service, high voice and data connections, electricity, natural gas, water, sewer, waste removal
and alarm monitoring. The most costly and volatile items under this category are electricity and
natural gas. The department recently retained an efficiency expert in system controls that has already
yielded some cost savings in natural gas usage by the boilers. The net effect will be more telling
once an annual cycle has been completed since the controls were fine-tuned. Additionally, the cost
for this service and the price of natural gas, which is prone to dramatic increases, will determine how
much savings is realized compared to previous years. To further reduce this expense category, a
hedge against the volatility in electricity and natural gas prices is no longer factored into the
equation. Projected costs are based on past experience. The vulnerability associated with this
approach would be less difficult to manage if the department maintained a higher reserve fund
balance. The cost of waste removal has surged in recent years and this trend is expected to continue.
Cellular phone and air card service, which is not a shared cost, is an essential part of the
communication grid for the department. It allows greater efficiencies and access to data so that
officers can do more work in the field. It also provides a way to contact key persomiel around the
clock. Cellular phone costs are expected to remain relatively stable for 2010. Air cards permit
wireless connections to the mobile data computers in the patrol vehicles and laptop computers used
in the field. The number of air cards and some of the subscriber fees have increased in recent years
adding to the cost. Nevertheless, there is an overall decline in this category.
52400 - JANITORIAL & CLEANING
This line item includes janitorial and carpet cleaning services along with cleaning supplies. These
expenses increased significantly when the department moved into its current facility with
considerably more area to maintain. These expenses have since leveled off and there is no increase
factored into this category for 2010.
52500 - PRINTING & PUBLISHING
This line item includes printing costs for letterhead, envelopes, business cards, forms, citations and
warning notices. Publishing costs are generally limited to advertising personnel vacancies and
posting official notices in the newspaper. Other expenses include purchasing publications to help
personnel do their work. These expense have gone down as the ability to access information through
internet increases. Additionally, computer generated forms are replacing some of the printed forms.
Fees associated with providing direct deposit for employees is now accounted for under contracted
services. This reclassification, coupled with the aforementioned reductions, has reduced expenses
under this category.
52800 - CA OF PERSONS
This line item includes caring for detainees while in custody at the SLMPD. This is a nominal
expense since most detainees are either booked and released from the SLMPD detention facility or
transported to the Hennepin County Jail. This category is also used to track booking fees, which are
offset through reimbursement from the member cities.
53000 - SUPPLIES
This comprehensive line item includes gasoline for vehicles in the fleet, diesel fuel for the
emergency generator at the public safety facility, vehicle supplies, educational materials,
ammunition, first aid supplies, batteries, recording supplies, film, drug testing kits, hardware, office
T W ~ .
t3~ ~
supplies, meeting expenses and other miscellaneous items required for department operations. There
is an offset under revenues for the educational materials used by the police officer(s) instructing the
CounterAct Program at the local elementary schools. There was a sharp increase to this category for
2009 due to the unprecedented rise in gasoline and ammunition prices. Although ammunition prices
remain high, gasoline prices have come down and have since stabilized enough to reduce the
projected cost for 2010. Nevertheless, the volatility of the market makes this difficult to predict
when considering every ten cent increase in the price of gasoline sustained over the course of a year
costs the department an additional $1,300 (assumes an annual fleet consumption rate of 13,000
gallons). The department has implemented a number of proactive strategies in recent years to
mitigate the volatility in gasoline prices, but streets still need to be patrolled and calls still need to
be answered regardless of the cost. Ammunition prices continue to rise with demand exceeding
supply and growing industrial powers such as China bidding up the cost of the raw materials used
in the manufacturing process. Along with this price increase, the much needed addition of a tactical
team has increased the amount of ammunition needed for training purposes. The department has
modified its firearms training schedule to conserve ammunition while still exceeding state
requirements. There is an overall decrease to this category due to the decline in gasoline prices being
more than the increases in ammunition and other supplies. There may be an opportunity to reduce
ammunition costs further if the proposal submitted by the department for an interactive training
simulator receives approval through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program. This cutting edge
technology provides realistic scenario based training in a controlled and instructive environment.
It would provide an economical way to maintain and enhance a critical training need of the
department at a time when training is being scaled back due to budgetary constraints.
54040 - UNIFORMS & GEAR
This line item includes uniforms and gear for department personnel along with applicable clothing
and equipment allowances. In recent years, the expansion of the community service officer program
and the formation of an emergency response unit have increased expenses under this category. This
category also absorbs the considerable expense of outfitting new personnel, which is not always
known at the time the budget is prepared. State and federal reimbursement is available when
purchasing body armor for licensed police officers. Costs associated with outfitting seasonal
personnel working the park and dock patrol detail are reimbursed by the City of Excelsior.
Normally, rising vendor prices and the expense of outfitting new officer(s) would be factored into
this category. Due to budget constraints, this has not been taken into account and thus there is no
increase to this category.
54500 - TRAINING CONFERENCES
This line item currently must accommodate the required and specialized training needs of twenty-one
(21) department personnel. The amount allocated to this category is marginal at best. The hiring
of new personnel adds to this cost, since they generally require more training during the first years
of employment. A case in point is the necessary training for new police recruits. Costs can easily
exceed a couple thousand dollars for training and certification in such areas as emergency medical
technician, pursuit driving, interviewing and interrogation, Intoxilyzer operator, Livescan operator
and CJIS operator. Once achieved, ongoing refresher training is required of all officers to maintain
their certifications. Officers must regularly train and demonstrate proficiency in the use of firearms
(pistol, shotgun and rifle), Taser, ASP baton, chemical spray, use of force techniques, high risk
traffic stops, etc. Additionally, all personnel must receive ongoing OSHA training dealing with
hazardous materials, blood borne pathogens, etc. This does not even include the discretionary
training needed to enhance the skill level and professionalism of personnel and to prepare them for
specialized assigmnents in such areas as tactical operations, investigations, supervision and
administration. The state also continues to require more mandated training without reimbursement
in response to directives from the legislature. Nevertheless, the importance of providing training
cannot be underestimated in order to provide quality service and minimize injuries. Training costs
are significant, but this pales in comparison to the implications associated with failing to adequately
train personnel. There is a partial offset under revenues from the money allocated by the state toward
police training. Due to budgetary constraints, no increase has been factored into this category even
though training needs and costs are ever increasing. This has been mitigated by management
personnel limiting their training and conferences so that core training needs can be met.
56440 - INSURANCE
The amount allocated to this line item is transferred to the Insurance Fund. Premiums are paid out
of this fund for liability, property and workers compensation coverage through the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). It also provides a means for absorbing higher
deductibles and self-insuring against small claims. Please refer to the "Funds Supporting
Operations" section of this proposal for a more detailed explanation of this special fund. This annual
transfer has not kept pace with rising insurance costs and the fund will likely be depleted by the end
of 2009. Although the transfer has been increased significantly for 2010, it will likely need another
hike in 2011 to keep the fund out of a deficit balance.
56100 - SUBSCRIPTIONS & MEMBERSHIPS
This line item includes subscriptions to periodicals as well as memberships in civic and professional
organizations. Also included is the contractual expense of activating and renewing peace officer
licenses through the state for all SLMPD police officers. Licenses are valid for three years and
renewals are staggered according to the last name of the officer. Officers must earn a minimum of
48 hours of continuing education credits during each license renewal period. There is no proposed
increase to this category for 2010.
57040 - SPECIAL PROJECTS
This line item has traditionally included membership in the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force and
subscribing to the professional services provided by CornerHouse. Added to this category in 2009
CS
was an annual contribution to the Reserve Officer Fund. Prior to this time, each member city
contributed the same amount directly to this fund. The Coordinating Committee changed this
practice starting in 2009 so that the contribution to this fiend is made through the operating budget.
This means each member city's contribution is proportionate to its percentage contribution to the
operating budget. The Coordinating Committee also adopted a schedule whereby the contribution
increases each year by $200. This means the transfer amount for 2010 will be $2,400. Please refer
to the "Funds Supporting Operations" section of this proposal for a more detailed explanation of the
Reserve Officer Fund. Having a contingent of volunteer reserve officers is a community and
organizational asset. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force is funded through contributions from
member law enforcement agencies supplemented by grant money and proceeds seized through
forfeitures. Once again, there is no anticipated increase to members for 2010. CornerHouse is a
highly respected sexual abuse evaluation center for child victims. A nominal increase in the
subscriber fee is anticipated for 2010. The SLMPD communities have benefitted greatly from these
longstanding partnerships focused on drug trafficking and helping children get through the trauma
of being sexually abused while obtaining the necessary forensic evidence to hold perpetrators
accountable.
58000 - CAPITAL OUTLAY
The amount appropriated to this line item is earmarked for two capital funds. These are the Vehicle
Fund and the Equipment Fund. Nearly the entire amount will be a transferred to the Vehicle Fund
leaving only a nominal amount to be transferred into the Equipment Fund. Please refer to the "Funds
Supporting Operations" section of this proposal for a more detailed explanation of these two capital
fiends. There is no increase to this expense category to help restore and maintain an adequate balance
in the Vehicle Fund.

PROJECTED VENUES
(Excluding Required Contributions from Member Cities)
40110 - COURT OVERTIME
Member cities are individually responsible for the overtime costs associated with SLMPD personnel
making court appearances for incidents that occur in their respective cities. This varies from year-
to-year and the amount for this category is an estimate based upon past experience.
40120 - EXCELSIOR PA & DOCK PATROL SERVICES
It is anticipated that the City of Excelsior will again request the SLMPD to provide park and dock
patrol services in 2010. These services supplement the policing already in place to address some
seasonal law enforcement needs specific to Excelsior. The department is reimbursed by the City of
Excelsior for providing these supplemental services and the anticipated amount is reflected under
this category. There is a prescribed protocol in the current Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) that must
be followed prior to implementing these services.
42100 - STATE POLICE OFFICER AID
This reimbursement through the Minnesota Department of Revenue takes into account only full-time
licensed police officers employed for the required period of time. It is funded through a surcharge
on auto insurance premiums and the amount of reimbursement is determined on a per officer basis
not to exceed what the employer collectively contributed the previous year to police pensions (PERA
Police & Fire Fund). Historically, the amount collected from the insurance surcharge has been
enough so that the department has been fully reimbursed for the previous year's contribution to
police pensions. Unfortunately, the last time this favorable condition occurred was in 2007. That
year, the department received $102,522 in state police officer aid based on actual police pension
contributions of $102,522 in 2006. The tide turned in 2008, when the department only received
$99,355 in state police officer aid, even though actual police pension contributions were $126,197
in 2007. This net difference of 21 percent amounted to $26,842. There are several factors that
caused this to happen: collections from the auto insurance surcharge were down 5-6 percent,
presumably due to the downturn in the economy; the required employer contribution rate to police
pensions increased; and the number of police officers employed statewide increased thereby
increasing demand for the available funding. This unfavorable condition is expected to continue in
the immediate future with no indication that the state has plans to make up the difference. This has
a profound impact on the revenue side of the operating budget and puts an additional burden on the
member cities. This unforseen condition had not yet materialized at the time the 2009 operating
[ Z. ~
budget was prepared. Therefore, the payment the department receives in 2009 for state police officer
aid will likely be significantly less than the budgeted amount of $137,000. Based on this trend, the
2010 operating budget proposal reflects a significant reduction in anticipated state police officer aid,
although predicting how much is difficult so far in advance.
42200 - STATE TRAINING REIMBURSEMENT
The Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training provides a limited amount of
reimbursement toward the continuing education of full-time licensed police officers. This
reimbursement is based on the total amount appropriated by the legislature divided by the number
of eligible officers. The SLMPD fills out and submits an application each year to receive this
reimbursement. No increase is anticipated for 2010.
43100 - MINNETONKA SCHOOL DISTRICT
The Minnetonka School District provides funding for police liaison activities and educational
programs in the schools. It is because of this funding that the SLMPD is able to offer the CounterAct
Program each year to the elementary schools. The curriculum is designed to involve police officers,
schools and families in preventing children from using alcohol and drugs. It also helps children to
avoid using violence as a means of solving problems. Officers also provide other educational
programs in the schools such as talking to high school students about the legal consequences
associated with drinking and driving. No increase is anticipated for 2010.
43200 - ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTS
This is the anticipated revenue from public data requests for copies of documents as well as audio,
video and digital recordings. This category also includes revenue from fingerprint requests for
employment purposes and other non-criminal matters. No increase is anticipated for 2010.
43400 - SECURITY DETAILS
This category includes additional policing requests over and above the services normally provided
by the SLMPD. These extra policing requests are billed at a set amount with the personnel working
these details being paid in accordance with their overtime rates. The number of requests vary from
year-to-year, but have been on the increase. The estimated amount in this category is subject to
fluctuation, but there is no adverse effect on the budget since costs are reimbursed by the business,
organization, etc. contracting for the service. Art on the Lake and the Fourth of July Celebration are
two of the more high profile events in which sponsors pay for an additional police presence. A more
recent addition to this category is the seasonal policing detail at two popular lakefront restaurants
in Excelsior. Both establishments share the cost of having a dedicated police presence on weekend
nights throughout the summer. Referred to as the "bar cop detail," this started out as a pilot program
B
J _ 4
in 2007 and has continued since with some slight modifications. It is anticipated this partnership
with Maynard's Restaurant and BayView Event Center/Bayside Grille will continue in 2010.
. v - -NVESTMENT INCOME
The anticipated revenue under this category is based upon historical trends and anticipated future
earnings. The outlook is bleak that interest rates in 2010 will climb from current historic lows.
Additionally, as a governmental agency the SLMPD needs to maintain a conservative investment
portfolio, which means yields are normally among the lowest offered. The anticipated revenue from
investment income has been downgraded significantly from previous years and is fifty percent less
than what was budgeted for in 2009.
46400 - FORVEITURES
This includes unanticipated revenue from forfeitures, which is subject to extreme fluctuations from
year-to-year. It should be noted that proceeds from the sale of vehicles forfeited under the impaired
driving laws are not reflected in this category. This money goes directly into the DWI Forfeiture
Fund maintained by the department and is administered in accordance with state guidelines. Please
refer to the "Funds Supporting Operations" section of this proposal for a more detailed explanation
of this special fund. Additionally, most forfeitures associated with drug arrests are not reflected in
this category. The Southwest Metro Drug Task Force, of which the SLMPD is a member,
supplements its operations with these forfeitures. This allows membership dues to remain extremely
reasonable.
46500 - MISCELLANEOUS STATE REIMBURSEMENT
Included under this category is the partial reimbursement received from the state for providing health
insurance coverage for a former SLMPD police officer disabled in the line-of-duty. Providing this
coverage is mandated by the Public Safety Officer's Disability Benefit (Minnesota Statute
299A. 465). This financial assistance from the state has declined over the years and is currently only
about half the cost. This means the department is responsible for the remaining balance. Also
included under this category are a number of initiatives that are eligible for state reimbursement.
These include the reimbursable overtime associated with officers working Operation NightCAP
administered through the Minnesota State Patrol. This program funds saturation patrols focused on
getting impaired drivers off the roads. Another overtime detail is alcohol compliance checks, which
if approved, will be reimbursed through a state grant. New to this category is the reimbursable
overtime associated with the SLMPD participating in the Western Hennepin County Safe & Sober
Group for 2009-2010. The SLMPD is one of nine local law enforcement agencies that collectively
applied for and received funding for a number of traffic enforcement projects throughout the grant
period. This category varies from year-to-year depending on the number and status of overtime
projects, etc. Previously included under this category were the reimbursable expenses of having an
SLMPD investigator on assignment with the Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force (MNFCTF).
This affiliation ended in early 2008 with the retirement of the SLMPD investigator assigned to this
detail. Because of this change, there was a significant reduction in this category. There was also a
corresponding reduction on the expense side.
46640 - OTHER REIMBURSEMENT
Included under this category are the boarding fees collected for kenneling stray and/or dangerous
dogs at the SLMPD facility. These boarding fees help offset some of the incidental expenses
associated with animal control. The related fines collected on behalf of each member city are
defined by ordinance and forwarded to each member city on a quarterly basis. Other miscellaneous
reimbursements are also included under this category.

Undesignated-Reserve Fund - (See Notation Below)
$118,475
Notation: There was a net increase in the Undesignated-Reserve Fund as a result of favorable
operations during 2008. This is reflected in the audit report completed by CPA Stuart Bonniwell for
2008. The resulting balance in the Undesignated-Reserve Fund is approximately 5.6 percent of
projected operating expenses for 2009. This is a minimally acceptable level in which to support
current and future operations.
Prepared by Chief Bryan Jitney
INTRODUCTION
The South Lake Mimletonka Police Department (SLMPD) is responsible for managing its own fiscal
affairs as a joint powers organization. This means it is necessary for the SLMPD to maintain a
number of specialized and capital funds in support of the operating budget, which is financed
primarily through member city contributions. Many of these funds are used to help with cash flow
and to maintain consistency in the operating budget from year-to-year. All fund balances are subject
to variances depending on when revenues, transfers and expenditures are received or made
throughout the year. The following narrative provides an overview of each fund within the context
of the overall fiscal management of the organization. The corresponding spreadsheet is a snapshot
of the audited fund balances as of December 31, 2008.
DESIGNATE FUNDS
Insurance Fund - This fund is used to manage insurance costs. Premiums are paid out of this fund
for liability, property and workers compensation insurance provided through the League of
Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT). Maintaining this fund helps protect against the volatility
in the insurance industry. It also provides a means for absorbing higher deductibles and self-insuring
against smaller claims. The balance in the fiend has decreased due to increased workers
compensation premiums; insuring the public safety facility; and increasing liability coverage to
protect against federal actions which are not subject to the same tort limitations as state actions. The
annual transfer to this fund from the operating budget has not kept pace with these rising costs.
Consequently, this fund will likely be depleted by the end of 2009. Although the proposed operating
budget transfer has been increased significantly for 2010, it will likely need additional hikes in
subsequent years to keep the fund out of a deficit balance.
Vehicle Fund - This fund is utilized to purchase, equip and set-up vehicles. It allows for a uniform
replacement schedule for vehicles in the SLMPD fleet. Proceeds from the sale of vehicles go
directly into this fund to help offset replacement costs. Vehicles in the patrol fleet are replaced more
frequently than the vehicles used for other functions. This is for obvious reasons, given the high and
rigorous number of miles put on patrol vehicles and their need to be in good condition for safety and
reliability. The annual transfer to this fund from the operating budget was drastically reduced in
2004 to help with a projected revenue shortfall that year. The fiend balance was sufficient enough
at the time to temporarily absorb a reduced contribution from the operating budget. It was
recognized, however, this could not be sustained over the long-term and if allowed to continue would
have severe financial implications on future operating budgets. Since that time, progress has been
made toward restoring this fund to a sustainable level through incremental increases in transfers from
the operating budget along with transfers of excess revenues. Additionally, an increased contribution
to this fund was established for the eventual replacement of the vehicle put into service as part of the
expanded community service officer coverage implemented in 2008. Although these have been
positive steps to bolster the health of the fund, the annual contribution from the operating budget
needs to be accelerated in order to achieve an adequate and sustainable level. Due to current
economic conditions, however, the proposed transfer amount will not increase for 2010.
Equipment Fund - This fund was established for the purchase and replacement of furnishings and
equipment. Some of the fund uses have been shifted in recent years to the Technology Fund.
Additionally, most of the furnishings were new when the SLMPD moved into its new facility thus
lessening the dependency on this fund. Nevertheless, this fund is still being relied upon for a number
of equipment needs. Annual transfers to this fund from the operating budget have been minimal in
recent years due to budgetary constraints. This would have been more consequential if not for the
resourcefulness of the department in securing other funding sources through grants and donations.
One of the most consistent and prominent contributors has been the South Lake Minnetonka Crime
Prevention and Criminal Apprehension Fund. This locally based nonprofit organization has
contributed thousands of dollars toward equipment purchases. Once again, there will only be a
nominal transfer to this fund from the operating budget in 2010.
Technology Fund- This fund was initially established in anticipation of the conversion by Hennepin
County to a new 800 MHz radio system. It was realized that the SLMPD would have to absorb a
considerable expense for the equipment needed to remain part of the county-wide system. This
conversion took place in the fall of 2002. Since that time, the fund has taken on an expanded role
to support other technologies such as the installation of mobile data computers in the patrol vehicles
as well as the internal expansion and replacement of computer hardware and software. Some of the
aforementioned radio equipment and mobile data computers are coming to the end of their useful
life-span and need to be replaced in accordance with the revised schedule that has been adopted. For
instance, all the mobile data computers are undergoing replacement between now and 2011 at a cost
of approximately $30,000 (based on current pricing). A decision was recently made to defer the
replacement of the original group of portable 800 MHz radios until 2011, even though the
manufacturer recommends 2009. This stopgap measure only helps to preserve capital until 2011,
when all the mobile and portable 800 MHZ radios will need to be replaced over the course of the
next several years. The approximate cost based on current pricing is $90,000. Expending such a
large amount of capital could be mitigated if the county once again offers a lease option. Another
"big ticket" item that needs to be replaced relatively soon is the current in-house record management
system that was purchased in 1999 in order to be Y2K compliant. Preliminary proposals put the
price tag at well over $100,000. The fiend balance is currently well short of what is needed to replace
all this technology. Additionally, the annual transfer to this fund from the operating budget is barely
enough to satisfy the annual lease, maintenance and user fees from the county. Addressing this
important need was one of the key strategic goals recommended for implementation starting in 2009.
Unfortunately, this was put on hold due to budgetary considerations. The 2010 operating budget
proposal offers no additional help with the same amount being transferred to this fund. Although
the department has an excellent track record of securing grants to help with technology needs, there
is no assurance these opportunities will be available in the future and the department needs to plan
accordingly in order to maintain these critical systems. Surplus revenues have been transferred into
this fund over the years to supplement the annual appropriation it receives from the operating budget.
Building Fund - This fund was initially created to assist with capital costs associated with
maintaining the former police station and to provide the financial means for exploring the option of
a new shared facility with the Excelsior Fire District (EFD). It was later used to offset some of the
costs associated with the SLMPD moving into its new shared facility with the EFD. In more recent
years, this fund has served primarily as a capital account for maintaining and improving the
functionality of the facility. This use is different from what is factored into the operating budget each
year for the routine maintenance and upkeep of the building. Even though the facility is still
relatively new, this fund has already been used for some costly system malfunctions not covered
under warranty. The fund currently receives no annual appropriation from the operating budget and
has been supported over the years through transfers of surplus revenues. This unreliable funding
source falls well short of what will be needed as the facility ages and the cost of maintaining the
infrastructure of the building mounts. This growing concern has yet to be addressed by the member
cities as part of a coordinated effort with the SLMPD and EFD. Another attempt to address this
issue was made last year through the SLMPD strategic planning process. It was one of four strategic
goals identified by the Strategic Planning Group as being critically important to address sooner rather
than later. Although a number of approaches were suggested and discussed, no consensus was
reached on how to proceed and so the matter was tabled. Consequently, this fund will soon be
depleted and the department will be left with no option but to invoice the member cities for capital
building costs.
Reserve Officer Fund - This fund was initially established to finance the appreciation banquet held
each year for volunteer reserve officers. The use of this fund has been expanded in recent years to
help cover the expense of equipping and training reserve officers. One of the funding sources was
changed in 2009 at the direction of the Coordinating Committee. Member cities no longer contribute
directly to this fund each year. Instead, this contribution now comes in the form of an annual
transfer from the operating budget under the expense category of Special Projects. Other funding
sources include the proceeds generated by the department auctioning seized and/or unclaimed
property along with occasional grants and private donations. A new approach that has raised some
revenue is suggesting a voluntary donation be made to this fund if reserve officers help out with a
special detail or event. This is now included on the invoice when the department bills for services
connected with these types of activities. It is important to note that reserve officers are volunteers
in the true sense of the word and receive no personal compensation. Having this fiend is a nice way
to show the members of this volunteer branch that they are appreciated and supported by the South
Lake Minnetonka communities.
DWI Forfeiture Fund - The proceeds realized from the sale of vehicles seized by the SLMPD
pursuant to the DWI forfeiture law must be distributed in accordance with state statute. The
percentage that goes to the department is maintained in a dedicated account for ease of tracking as
required by state guidelines. Expenditures from this fund are also regulated by state statute and must
be related in some way to enhancing law enforcement efforts. This includes purchasing equipment
that can aid in the detection and apprehension of people who are driving while impaired. This fund
is intended to enhance, not replace, normal budgetary items. It also cannot be relied upon as a steady
revenue stream given its volatility from year-to-year.
Firearms Range Fund - This fund was created to help manage and track expenses relating to the
operation and maintenance of the SLMPD indoor firearms range. Some of the more costly items are
maintaining the automated target system, cleaning the bullet trap and replacing the special filters that
are part of the air exchange unit. This fund receives a nominal contribution each year from the
operating budget along with the revenues generated from other law enforcement agencies renting the
firearms range for training purposes.
OTHER FUNDS
Accrued Liabilities Fund - The amount in this fund needs to be proportionate to the liability at the
end of each year for accrued compensated absences for employees. This liability includes earned
but unused vacation and compensatory time as well as severance pay. Employees who resign or
retire are also entitled to the same consideration and are paid from this fund. The department has
a longstanding practice of making sure this financial obligation is met on behalf of the member
cities.
Undesignated- eserve Fund - The budget process is not a perfect science and many costs are
influenced by external factors that are not easily controlled. Additionally, when providing essential
services to the public it is critical to have money in reserves for unknown contingencies. This fund
provides the SLMPD with a cushion against unanticipated expenses ranging from skyrocketing
energy prices to investigating a maj or crime involving hundreds of hours of overtime. One important
distinction, however, is that the department does not rely on money in reserves as extensively as a
municipality to maintain its cash flow throughout the year. This is because unlike a municipality,
which needs to maintain its cash flow between tax collections, the department receives the majority
of its revenue through monthly payments from member cities. This provides a constant and
dependable revenue stream throughout the year. The history has been to maintain in reserves the
equivalent of between five and six percent of operating expenses as a standard financial practice.
This may no longer be sufficient, however, with the downturn in the economy along with the
vulnerabilities and potential shortcomings with the proposed operating budget for 2010. Once this
is determined, anything beyond this amount would still be considered more discretionary in terms
of its use. The practice has been to shift any surplus toward capital needs rather than offsetting
operating expenses. It is normally not advisable to offset operating expenses with reserves, being
the temporary relief it provides will have to be made up in future budget years in addition to any
other budgetary increases. This compounding effect can be difficult to overcome and can lead to
future budget deficits. Transferring excess reserves to designated funds allows the department to
better meet specific needs.

20- General FunG'j &_-et Summary
General Overview
The 2010 General Fund Budget, as currently proposed and adjusted following the council work sessions,
represents an increase in the base levy of .83% or $34,462, which is the anticipated allowable levy under
current law. To date, the city has not yet received notification of the official allowable levy amount.
Total anticipated revenue for the General Fund, including transfers, is $5,399,404. This amount includes
the liquor fund transfer at $10,000 (from $40,000 previously), and also contemplates a use of reserve
fund balance of $155,000.
Total expenditures and transfers to capital improvement funds are programmed at $5,399,404 in this
budget draft. This amount is $89,158 less than the original proposed draft budget due to the inclusion
of the reductions discussed at several budget work-sessions, in addition to minor adjustments made to
the personnel allocations across funds, including adjustments to PERA and FICA.
Mayor a Council
General supplies have been reduced by $200 to reflect past activity. We are reducing mileage
reimbursement, conferences and schools by $1,000 and reducing the recognition funds from $5,000 to
$2,500. Finally, "miscellaneous" costs of $1,900 have been eliminated and the AIS allocation has been
moved to the parks department.
Items on the Table
This budget contains funds for an employee recognition event in the amount of $2,500.00. Staff
recommends keeping this item in the budget.
Administration
The proposed administration budget represents an increase over the adopted 2009 budget of $4,841.
There is a slight increase in wages due to the employment agreement in place for the administrator.
The budget provides $2,500 for a replacement computer which will be funded through the technology
fund. Staff is also proposing reductions of $1,800 in travel, conferences and school by removing a
national conference. There is also a reduction of $500 in contractual services.
Items on t "able
The Administration budget has a place holder of $24,000 for potential merit increases for 2010. This
represents approximately 2% of the total non-union wages. During discussions, the council has
suggested eliminating this allocation and reducing the amount by 50%. As a side note, the Fire District
budget reflects a 0% increase in wages and the direction from the Coordinating Committee for the
police is looking at a 0% increase.
c .
budget reflects a 0% increase in wages and the direction from the Coordinating Committee for the
police is looking at a 0% increase.
General Government
The General Government budget has a proposed decrease over the 2009 adopted budget of $31,150.
Staff reduced the part-time wages from $10,800 to $1,000. The part-time wages were used to provide
assistance at the front desk and provide scanning of old documents and the property files. This project
has been completed and we are now using regular staff to keep current with scanning documents as
required. The other major reduction comes in regular wages. The time allocated to general government
activities and support by the park secretary is decreased here and increased in the park budget. We also
reduced the training, conferences and schools by $1,000.
Recommendation
Our recommendation is to keep this budget as proposed.
Elections
This budget is a cyclical in nature and increases in even numbered years due to local, state, and national
elections. The increase for 2010 represents this cycle. Staff did make one alteration to the budget in
the area of capital purchases by eliminating two voting booths, thereby saving approximately $600.00.
Personnel costs were decreased when staff realized PERA and FICA costs had been allocated against the
election judge personnel expense unnecessarily.
Recommendation
We are suggesting no further changes to this budget.
Finance
This budget is looking at a decrease over the adopted 2009 budget in the amount of $8,338. The
reductions are in the capital outlay and conferences and schools.
Recommendation
Staff is recommending the allocation as proposed.
Professional Services
This budget covers our contractual services for legal, auditing, and assessing. For 2010 the
miscellaneous services line item of $10,000 was eliminated. Assessing services are expected to increase
by approximately $4,000 and the civil attorney retainer rate is expected to increase as well, based on
actual time over the course of the first year. Some factors in the large amount expended in 2009 include
a payment to the LMCIT for the Ron Johnson activity, payment to settle the Phillippi litigation, over
$8,000 in fees associated with the SouthShore Community Center, and additional charges due to
ongoing communications and activity by Mr. Ron Johnson. We do not anticipate some these types of
expenses in 2010.
Planning and Orin
The proposed budget for Planning and Zoning is going down from 2009 by $14,346. The decrease is
attributable to cutting back support staff allocation by .10%. Support staff in the department is
budgeted at .90% and the Planning Director is at .93%. The .10% is being reallocated to General
Government and dedicated to web services which will go from .30% to .40%. Other adjustments are in
Contractual services where staff will take minutes of planning commission meetings and in conferences
and schools.
Municipal Buildings
The major change in this budget comes in the area of Supplies. We increased the equipment
maintenance line from $21,300 to $47,300 to reflect the new agreement we have with WarnerConnect
for support of the phone and IT systems. We also plan for a new high capacity copier at $20,000;
however, this cost will be covered by a transfer from the technology fund. The other major change is a
reduction in the programmed transfers to the municipal building maintenance fund of $50,000.
Protective Inspections
This area has seen a steady decline in activity over the past 18 months or so and is represented in the
number of building permits the city has received. As a result of the lower than normal activity in this
area, staff is assisting with facilities maintenance issues.
The budget allocation requested for 2010 is down by $8,791 from 2009. The decrease comes in a
reallocation of support staff in this activity. The planning assistant had .2% time allocated to this activity
and it has been reduced to .1% for 2010.
Recommendation
Our recommendation is to keep this budget as presented.
Police
The SLMPD budget is recommended by the Coordinating Committee after working with the police chief
on the particulars of the budget. The budget recommended by the Coordinating Committee consists of
a .7% increase over the 2009 budget. The budget does not have an allocation for a wage increase,
however it should be noted that contract with the union is up for renewal this year and negotiations
have not started with this group. An award with the union that exceeds the established budget may
result in an overage in the personnel items in the budget.
k I--
Based on the information provided by the Chief and approved by the Coordinating Committee, the
for law enforcement will increase from $938,950 to $950,000 for the operating budget. Shorewood's
portion of the debt service component for the SLMPD for 2010 is $230,000. Shorewood is budgeting
$1,180,000 for police activities in 2010.
Recommendation
The JPA requires all member cities to approve the budget and if it is not, there is language holding the
departments operating costs to the level of the most restrictive levy limit of member cities. At this
point, the levy limit for Shorewood is .83% an amount greater than that proposed by the Coordinating
Committee. As such, it is recommended to agree to the .7%.
Fire
The fire budget 2010 budget of $595,482 is slightly less than the 2009 allocation of $600,638.
City Engineer
This budget is proposed to decrease by $49,611 from the 2009 budget. The major change is the
reduction in staff in this area. Some of the savings from the reduction in staff show up in other areas
due a reallocation of resources.
Recommendation
We recommend the budget remain as presented.
Public Works - Service
The major item is a decrease of $75,000 to the equipment replacement fund. The 2009 budget included
a $175,000 programmed transfer and council concurred with the reduction to $100,000 for 2010.
Scheduled equipment purchases will not be affected through this reduction. Other aspects of this
budget include a $3,800 allocation for a new 800 MHz base station and some minor adjustments to the
personnel costs.
Streets and Roads
The Streets and Roads department is anticipated to increase over the 2009 budget by approximately
$13,200. The increase is attributable to the increase in the cost of asphalt material. The budget
maintains the planned $700,000 transfer to the local road fund.
On the Table
The Council has allocated $700,000 from the levy to the local road fund. This amount could be reduced
and dollars from the Liquor fund could be used to supplement the transfer from the levy. For example,
reduce the transfer from the levy to $500,000 and use $200,000 from the liquor funds to keep the total
transfer at $700,000.
W ! recomr- nd t[. "u ]get remain as proposed.
Snow and Ice Removal
No change anticipated in this department.
Recommendation
The actual expenditures in personnel and supplies in this budget are directly related to the amount of
snow fall events requiring a call out and plowing activities. Staff recommends keeping this budget as
proposed. If changes are desired, it would be in the area of reallocating staff time to other areas.
Traffic Control/Street Lighting
We are proposing a modest increase in this budget of approximately $6,000. The increase is to cover
the cost of replacement street signs to comply with the new Federal Highway Administrations rules on
reflectivity. We anticipate this to be an ongoing expense.
Recommendation
We recommend the budget remain as proposed.
Sanitation an ante Removal
We are recommending a budget of $4,900 for this activity.
Tree Maintenance
This program is anticipates a slight increase from 2009 due to anticipated additional expenses in the
area of tree removal due to more diseased trees being found both on public and private property.
Recommendation
We recommend the Council retain the proposed allocation for this activity.
Parks and Recreation
This budget will increase the most in 2010. It will grow by $67,000 over 2009. There are two main
contributors to this growth; one is a reallocation from the General Government to Parks through a
reallocation of staffing resources. The other is an expanded contract with Community Rec. Resources
for park administration services. Other changes to the budget include a few more dollars allocated for
building maintenance and additional dollars for programming. To support some of this, the Council
reduced the transfer to the Park Improvement fund by $3,000.
C
The Council cool reduce the levy impact associated with this activity by transferring funds from the
liquor fund to the Park Improvement fund rather than transferring levy dollars.
Recommendation
Our recommendation is to keep the operational funding for parks and recreation as proposed. The
transfer to the Capital Fund is also recommended however we have no recommendation regarding the
source of the transfer.

FUND: 101 GENERAL
DEPARTMENT NUMBER: 42200
DEPARTMENT MISSION: To protect and enhance the quality of life of those who live, work and
play within our community. This mission is achieved through fire suppression, emergency medical
services, fire prevention, community awareness, hazardous material mitigation and disaster response.
DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION / PURPOSE:
The Excelsior Fire District (EFD) is a Joint Powers organization created and operated under MN Statute
479 and serves the cities of Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay. The EFD is
governed by a five member board consisting of one elected official from each member city. The board
establishes the budget and policy direction of the EFD. The fire chief is appointed to carry out the
policies and mission. The city administrators from each member city serve on the Operations
Committee and work with the chief to make the department a success. Shorewood also contracts for
fire service from the Mound Fire department to provide fire protection to residents living on Enchanted
and Shady Islands.
The fire departments provide fire suppression/investigation services; first responder/emergency medical
services; and assists with water rescue operations. A key component is education and prevention;
therefore the district has a full-time fire inspector to ensure homes and businesses are in compliance
with state fire code; the position also provides educational opportunities to schools.
2010 NEW INITIATIVES:
• TBD
2010 ONGOING COMMITMENTS:
• Provide responses to calls for fire service
• Fire inspections
• Train staff
• Maintain fire equipment.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AFFECTING BUDGET:
The major change in the EFD's 2010 budget is a required contribution to the Fire Relief Association in
the amount of $120,000. The Fire Board used a combination of cuts to the operating budget, operating
fund reserves, and facility fund reserves to cover this expense.
This resulted in a 0% increase in the member cities' contributions, including Shorewood, to the district
for the 2010 EFD budget.
