6. REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS
A. 2009 Audit Presentation by Andrew Berg, CPA, Abdo, Fick and Meyers, LLP
Chair Lizee explained the City of Shorewood's 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR)
had been prepared. Mr. Andrew Berg, CPA, with the independent CPA firm of Abdo, Fick & Meyers,
LLP, would highlight the findings.
Mr. Berg stated his firm issued a "clean" opinion on the financial statements; there were no findings in
the audit. He noted there were no instances of non - compliance with Minnesota statutes. He said Staff was
very cooperative in providing the auditors the information they needed.
Mr. Berg provided a financial overview of the City's General Fund expenditures and revenues. He stated
the City's General Fund balance was just under $3 million at the end of 2005. At the end of 2009 it was
approximately $3.56 million, which is a decrease from the 2008 year -end balance of approximately $3.7
million. The 2009 year -end balance was at 66 percent of the 2010 budgeted expenses. Over the last five
years, the General Fund reserves have been between 63 percent and 71 percent. His firm typically
recommends reserves of 50 percent to satisfy cash flow needs. The firm compiled peer group average
General Fund information from approximately 120 cities of similar population. In 2008, that average
General Fund balance, as a percentage of expenditures was 55 percent.
Mr. Berg explained revenues were under budget by $213,525 and expenditures were under budget by
$110,793; expenditures exceeded revenues by $102,732 not including transfers. There was a positive
variance of transfers out in the amount of $110,347 for a net overall positive variance of $7,615. The
General Fund balance decreased $152,385 during 2009. Approximately 92 percent of the City's revenues
and transfers in (for 2009, approximately $4.7 million out of $5.12 million) came from property taxes.

Revenues from licenses and permits have decreased significantly since the end of 2006. Interest on
investments has also decreased significantly in 2008 and 2009.
Mr. Berg then explained the majority of the City's expenditures are in general government and public
safety with each one of them being approximately 26 percent of the total expenditures and transfers out.
Transfers out in 2009 increased over 2008. The chart of the detailed comparison for General Fund
expenditures and transfers for the last five years was expanded to include the amount the City spends per
capita in comparison to the peer group per capita. The City spends approximately $183 per capita for
general government compared to the peer group per capita of $141, and it spends approximately $184 per
capita for public safety compared to the peer group per capita of $205.
With regard to Debt Service Funds, Mr. Berg stated the Waterford III Tax Increment Bonds had been paid
in full, and the $11,900 balance in that fund should be used for a purpose consistent with the City's tax
increment financing plan or it should be returned to Hennepin County. There were approximately $12
million of FDA Public Safety Facility bonds outstanding at the end of 2009. There were just under $1.3
million on the 2008 Lease Revenue bonds for the renovation of City Hall outstanding at the end of 2009.
With regard to Capital Projects Funds, he explained there was an increase of approximately $511,000 (to
approximately $4.26 million) in the combined fund balances for all capital projects funds in 2009. The
Equipment Replacement Fund increased approximately $171,000 mainly due to transfers in from other
funds. The City Hall Construction Fund decreased approximately $653,000 due to the renovation of City
Hall. A new fund called the Community Infrastructure Fund was created in 2009 by a transfer in of $1
million from the Sewer Fund.
With regard to the Liquor Fund, Mr. Berg explained the City's liquor operations were sold in 2007. The
Fund had combined unrestricted net assets of approximately $865,000 in cash at the end of 2009; a
decrease fi - om the 2008 amount of approximately $896,000. He recommended the City determine what
should be done with the remaining funds in the Liquor Fund.
Mr. Berg then highlighted the Enterprise Funds (sewer, water, storm water management, and recycling).
He recommended the City monitor these enterprise operations to ensure rates are sufficient to cover
operating expenses, debt service, and future capital needs.
Mr. Berg stated the Water Fund had approximately $3.558 million in cash and cash equivalents and
$3.165 million in bonds payable at the end of 2009. The cash balance is fairly significant in relation to
operating expenses and revenues. The operating margins have decreased each of the last three years
primarily due to depreciation and other rising operating expenses. Approximately $53,000 in operating
income was produced at the end of 2000. There was a significant decrease in nonoperating revenues
during the year.
Mr. Berg said the Sewer Fund balance at the end of the year was approximately $3.66 million (from
approximately $4.47 at 2008 year -end). This is mainly the result of the $1 million transfer to the new
Community Infrastructure Fund. There have been operating losses each of the last three years. The cash
balance is fairly significant in relation to operating expenses and revenues.
Mr. Berg said there is an approximate balance of $89,000 in the recycling fund; a decrease from the 2008
balance of approximately $97,000. The gap between revenues and expenses has increased a little each of
the last three years therefore producing operating losses and resulting in the decrease in the cash balance.

June 28, 2010

With regard to the Stonmwater Management Utility Fund, he explained there was an approximate balance
of $571,000. The cash balance has increased each of the last three years mainly due to the operating
income that was generated. Stormwater Management projects are expensive to do; therefore, he
recommended the City continue to monitor the Fund to ensure there are sufficient funds available for
projects identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program.
Mr. Berg reviewed the ratio analysis. The City's debt -to- assets ratio decreased to 35% from 45% during
2009; this compares total liabilities to total assets City wide. The debt - service - coverage ratio increased to
125% from 96 %. A ratio of 100% or more indicates the City was generating enough cash to cover its debt
service expenses. The bonded- debt - per - capita ratio decreased to $2,171 from $3,328 due to some of the
2007 refunding bonds being paid off in 2009. The taxes - per - capita ratio increased to $626 from $602; the
higher the amount the more reliant the City is on taxes to fund its operations. Current expenditures were
very consistent with 2008 expenditures. Capital expenditures decreased to $258 from $284. The capital
assets percent decreased 1% for governmental activities and 2% for business -type activities; a higher
percentage indicates newer assets and a lower percentage indicates older assets which may need more
repair and maintenance.
Turgeon moved, Woodruff seconded, Accepting the 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR). Motion passed 510.
B. Ken Hendrickson, Board Representative, Lake Minnetonka Communications
Commission
Mayor Liz6e introduced Ken Hendrickson, the City's Board Representative on the Lake Minnetonka
Communications Commission (LMCC), who was present to give an update on LMCC activities.
Mr. Hendrickson stated he has been on the Commission for 5.5 months. His two goals have been to learn
more about what the LMCC does and how it functions, and to support the fibre to the premise (FTTP)
effort. He thought the most noteworthy thing that has occurred at the LMCC is that Henry Pryor had
replaced Tom Scanlon as the head of the Commission.
With regard to the FTTP effort, Mr. Hendrickson stated the efforts over the last four months have been
aimed at preparing for a workshop to educate people about FTTP that was held a few weeks ago. He
thought the workshop was well received but he expressed disappointment with the low attendance. He
thought there is a lot of support for FTTP from individuals who don't have connections to high -speed
internet. Those who have high -speed access don't appear to be as interested. The next step is to find out
what the demand is for FTTP from residents in the LMCC community. Councilmember Woodruff noted
the LMCC will conduct a survey to find that out in the first part of 2011; there is funding proposed for
that effort in the LMCC budget being discussed. Mr. Hendrickson stated he thought FTTP is important to
the community.
Councilmember Bailey asked Mr. Hendrickson if he found anything during his tenure that surprised him.
Mr. Hendrickson responded he thought the LMCC was fairly well managed. He thought the
administrative staff was fairly enthusiastic and they were trying hard to do a good job. He indicated he
was reasonably pleased with his experience so far.
7. PARKS
Park Commission Chair Norman reported on matters considered and actions taken at the June 22, 2010,
Park Commission meeting (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). He explained the reason for
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 28, 2010
Page 5 of 10
holding a second meeting in June was to continue discussion of the Parks Capital Improvement Program
(CIP) which started during its June S' meeting. He stated he thought the 2011 CIP and 2012 CIP are very
strong; the CIP for 2013 — 2019 is more about ideas. The Commission understands that the CIP for the
out years will likely have to be scaled back unless other funding sources can be found. Tie noted the City
has received a couple of grants to help with funding some of the improvements in the parks. He indicated
Council should be presented with the proposed Parks CIP during its July 12"' budget work session. He
acknowledged Staff for all of the hard work it put into trying to obtain various grants. The grant the City
was awarded for Manor Park improvements was significant. It will help fund the installation of a
boundless playground which according to his understanding will be the only one in the Midwest.
Mayor Lizee stated she thought the boundless playground will be a wonderful asset for the community.
Councilmember Turgeon stated it's her understanding there is a need for volunteers to help with the
installation of the boundless playground. Chair Norman stated it's expected that all Park Commissioners
will volunteer their time. The Commission will contact other organizations, family and friends and ask
them to help. American Legion personnel have been involved in getting other City parks up and
functioning and the Legion has been asked for its support again. Norman stated approximately 50 — 60
volunteers will be needed to get the playground erected in one day. Mayor Lizce stated as long as people
know of the need in advance she was confident the needed volunteers will show up. Liz& suggested
putting something in the City's newsletter about the need for volunteers and that Council also inform
others about the need.
Councilmember Turgeon asked if the Park Commission has decided on what type of plaque /sign would
be installed identifying the project was made possible by funds from the Hennepin Youth Sports Program,
noting this is a requirement of receiving the grant. Chair Norman indicated the Commission has not done
that yet, but he was confident that will occur during the next Commission meeting.
Councilmember Woodruff stated it's his understanding that there is approximately $700 remaining in the
Shirley Rice Memorial Fund that's assigned to Manor Park as a gift. He asked Staff to check into whether
or not some or all of those funds could be applied to the work that is going into Manor Park. Mayor Liz&
stated the League of Women Voters should be contacted because the grant came through them. Chair
Norman stated the gardeners have had requests over the years and the money has come from that grant.
A. Hennepin County Sports Grant and Manor Park Improvements
Administrator Heck explained the City has been awarded a grant in the amount of $104,200 from the
Hennepin County's Hennepin Youth Sports Program. The grant will help offset the cost for the remodel
of the shelter in Manor Park and to install a boundless playground. The vendor who supplies the
boundless play structure equipment has acquired another $30,000 which will discount that portion of the
project by another $30,000. The largest cost component of the boundless playground is the rubberized
playground surface. Volunteers will install the playground. The vendor will deliver the equipment and
surface materials and drill the holes for the posts in the proper location. The vendor will also provide on-
sight coordinators to coordinate the volunteers during installation. He reiterated this park will be the only
park in the upper Midwest that will have a completely accessible play structure.
Heck stated Staff is asking Council to sign the agreement accepting the grant and to authorize moving
forward with the purchase and installation of the boundless play structure in Manor Park. He noted the
grant is a reimbursable grant which means the City has to upfront the money and it will be reimbursed for
expenditures. He stated the hope is to start this project by July 31".

Liz6e moved, Zerby seconded, Adopting RESOLUTION NO. 10 -035 "A Resolution Accepting the
Hennepin County Youth Sports Grant in the amount of $104,200 and Authorizing the Purchase
and Installation of the Boundless Play Structure for Manor Park."
Councilmember Turgeon stated she had a problem with accepting the grant in the amount of $104,200.
The total estimated project cost is $235,194 with a total cost to the City of $100,994. She asked if the cost
of Public Works staff time for this project be included in the total project cost. She then stated the City
budgeted $120,000 for the Manor Park shelter component. She asked where the extra upfront money will
come from. Administrator Heck explained that in addition to the $120,000 budgeted in 2010 for the
shelter in Manor Park, and the Park Commission has included $65,000 in the 2014 Parks CIP for
replacing the play structure in Manor Park. The upfront monies will come out of the Parks Capital Fund
and the reimbursed funds will go back into the Fund. Fleck explained the City is not required to include
the City's labor and materials costs in the project cost. Heck noted the invoices the City submits have to
total or exceed the amount of the grant.
Motion passed 510.
Park Coordinator Anderson stated it's her understanding that some of the Councilmembers have
experience with installing playgrounds. She asked them to volunteer their time for this effort. She thought
the equipment installation will occur on either July 31" or August 7`"
8. PLANNING
Director Nielsen stated the Planning Commission has rescheduled its June study session to June 29". The
purpose of the study session is to hold a panel discussion with developers about the Smithtown Crossing
redevelopment area. Councilmember Turgeon stated Councilmember Woodruff will replace her as the
Council liaison to the Planning Commission for the last half of 2010. Therefore, she invited him to attend
the meeting.
9. ENGINEERING /PUBLIC WORKS
Director Brown stated Smithtown Lane roadway project is nearing completion. Storm sewer work is
continuing on Wild Rose Lane, Nelsine Drive and Sunnyvale Lane.
10. GENFRAL/NEW BUSINESS
A. Excelsior Fire District 2011 Budget
Administrator Heck stated the Excelsior Fire District (ETD) Board has recommended approving the
proposed 2011 EFD Operating Budget and the 2011 —2031 EFD Capital Improvement Program (CIP). A
substantial portion of the increase in the member cities' contribution in 2011 is the additional $18,000
required contribution to the Excelsior Firefighters Relief Association (EFRA) fund for pension purposes.
ETD Chief Gerber did an excellent job of working with the ETD Board and the ETD Operating
Committee on the budget and CIP. Some of the more significant cuts made to the 2010 EFD Operating
Budget have been restored to the 2009 levels. The FIT) Board is proposing using ETD operating fund
reserves again in 2011 to help reduce the increase in the member cities' contribution. He noted the CIP
needs to be approved by the member cities by July 15, 2010, and the 2011 Operating Budget needs to be
approved by September 1, 2010. Council approved both items during the same meeting in 2009.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEE'T'ING MINUTES
June 28, 2010
Page 7 of 10
Heck then stated Staff recommends approving the proposed 2011 EFD Operating Budget and 2011- 2031
EFD CIP.
Councilmember Bailey reiterated the member cities are using EFD Operating Fund reserves again in 2011
to reduce the increase in the member cities' contribution. He explained there will likely be a required
contribution to the EFRA fund for pensions in 2011 — 2019 because the deficit in the fund was amortized
over a ten year period. He stated he did not think that dipping into reserves can be sustained. He
expressed he thought the budget is a reasonable budget. The operating budget does restore some of the
draconian cuts made for 2010. The total budget results in a 2.02 percent increase in the member cities'
contribution for 2011. To some extend the can has been kicked down the road when it comes to the
required contribution.
Councilmember Turgeon stated the operating transfers for equipment will increase 3.23 percent.
Councilmember Bailey noted that is true, but the member cities' contribution is only increasing 2.02
percent. Turgeon then stated the proposed increase in the EFD Chiefs salary is higher than anticipated.
She asked if the EFD Board looked at salary data for comparable positions. Councilmember Bailey stated
comparable data was not considered. The EFD Board, after discussion, settled on a 2.5 percent increase.
Turgeon requested in future years the Board take salary data for comparable positions into consideration.
Bailey stated in effect the Chief will be getting a cost of living increase of 2.5 percent over a two year
period, and he did not think comparable needed to be considered every year.
Bailey moved, Turgeon seconded, approving the recommended Excelsior Fire District 2010
Operating Budget dated 3 June 2010.
Councilmember Woodruff asked if Council should also approving the 2011 — 2031 EFD CIP.
The maker of the motion accepted the friendly amendment to his motion. The seconder of the
motion would not accept the amendment.
Councilmember Bailey stated the CIP was unchanged over the 2010 — 2030 CIP with the exception of a
$5,000 increase in the member cities' contribution to the CIP.
Councilmember Turgeon stated she did not come prepared to discuss the CIP this evening.
Motion passed 510.
Bailey moved, Zerby seconded, approving the recommended Excelsior Fire District 2011 — 2031
Capital Improvement Program dated 3 June 2010. Motion passed 4/1 with Turgeon dissenting.
B. Impound Vehicle Summary
Administrator Heck stated that during the June 14`" Council meeting Councilmember Turgeon had
questions about the invoice from Williams Towing as well as how impounded vehicles are handled. He
noted South Lake Minnetonka Police Department (SLMPD) Chief Litsey is willing to schedule a meeting
with representatives of the SLMPD's member cities and the attorney to discuss the impound program.
Heck explained there are two different types of impound vehicles. One is general impound vehicles; for
example, a vehicle that is towed away to an impound lot when a car is left on the wrong side of the street
during a snow emergency in the City of Minneapolis. The second are vehicles which are acquired thru
forfeiture; for example, a vehicle taken as part of a DUI arrest. When a SLMPD officer makes an arrest
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 28, 2010
Page 8 of 10
for DUI or some other offense that requires the seizure of the vehicle, Williams Towing is called to
remove the vehicle and the vehicle is taken to Williams' facility in the City of St. Bonifacius. The vehicle
remains at that facility until the SLMPD notifies Williams' when the vehicle can be released. The City is
charged for the towing and storage.
Heck explained that when the City takes possession of the vehicle Director Brown or Brad Mason, in
Public Works, document the time of receipt, they inventory the items in the vehicle, and they document
the vehicle's condition in writing and by taking pictures of the vehicle. The City has "garage keepers"
insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust. The SLMPD handles the
paperwork during the forfeiture process. If the offender is found guilty the SLMPD will obtain the
vehicle's title and work with the attorney to dispose of the vehicle. The vehicle's owner can buy the
vehicle back, the lien holder can acquire or the vehicle can be sent to auction. The SLMPD details a
vehicle if it's to be sent to auction.
Heck went on to explain proceeds from the sale of a vehicle are split with 70 percent going to the
SLMPD, 20 percent going to the City (or the prosecuting agency) and 10 percent going into the State's
General Fund. The City's 20 percent is to cover attorney fees and other related costs associated with the
vehicle. The City doesn't charge an administrative fee or storage fee at this time. The City can charge a
fee for both. If it's a DUI offense and the offender is not found guilty the City cannot charge a storage fee;
the City can assess an administrative fee. There is some question as to which organization owns the
vehicle during the forfeiture process. If the City owns the vehicle it could charge the SLMPD an
administrative fee. Any administrative fees and storage fees come off the top of the forfeiture settlement
before the funds are distributed.
Heck commented he talked to representatives of some other cities about how they handle such things.
What differentiates things for the City is it's a member of a joint powers organization. He has not had the
opportunity to talk to the West Hennepin Public Safety Department, a joint powers organization, about
how it handles such things.
Councilmember Turgeon asked what happens to the vehicle if there is a warrant out on someone or they
have a revoked license. Do the vehicles get towed to the Williams' facility and then does Williams' get
the towing fee? She asked how many vehicles the City currently has stored at the Public Works facility.
Director Brown explained the City has roughly eight vehicles in its possession with a couple of them
being legally owned by the SLMPD because they are vehicles taken as part of a controlled substance
arrest and not a DUI arrest.
Councilmember Turgeon questioned if the City should be storing vehicles that are technically owned by
the SLMPD. She expressed concern about the City's potential liability for those vehicles. She indicated
she was pleased SLMPD Chief Litsey is willing to meet and discuss the impound program. She asked
who decides the vehicle should be towed to the City's Public Works 'facility, especially if the arrest was
made in another SLMPD member city. Director Brown explained the SLMPD decides when the vehicle
can be released by Williams Towing. After the SLMPD makes the call to Williams the SLMPD calls
Brown. Brown in turn calls Williams' and asks them to deliver the vehicle to the City that same day.
Councilmember Turgeon stated storage, towing and administrative fees should be taken off the top of any
forfeiture settlement. She asked if the City recoups the storage and towing fees. Administrator Heck
explained the City receives a letter from the prosecuting attorney saying the vehicle has been sold. The
letter outlines what the attorney's fees are and the sale price for the vehicle. He indicated he is not sure if
the City has ever made claim to recoup any fees such as towing fees.
CITY OF SHOREWOOD REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
June 28, 2010
Page 9 of 10
Councilmember Turgeon stated the organization that paid the costs for towing and storage should recoup
those costs before any funds from the forfeiture settlement are split up. She thought it prudent for all
SLMPD member cities to understand the impound program. She expressed she did not want to be
responsible for forfeited vehicles that belong to other member cities. She questioned why the SLMPD
doesn't own the seized vehicles and incur the costs from start to finish. She suggested a policy be
developed for the impound program.
Director Brown stated there have been many times when there is a buyback involved when he has asked
for the towing fees the City has paid get tacked on to the buyback.
Councilmember Woodruff commented he was not aware the City was in this business. He requested Staff
document the process for handling seized vehicles today. If Staff spends time on vehicles that belong to
another member city, he believes that warrants further discussion. He thought the City should be able to
charge a fee for Staff time spent on these types of activities.
Councilmember Bailey agreed the City should not be taking on any other liability than it should as part of
this process. He recommended the City cover all of its costs. He thought it's silly for the City to subsidize
these things.
Councilmember Zerby stated State Statute talks about the appropriate agency, and it sounds like police
departments take possession of the vehicles. He noted that if there is a lien on the vehicle that has to be
paid off. He recommended the City get some legal advice on this.
IL STAFF AND COUNCIL REPORTS
A. Administrator and Staff
Administrator Heck stated there is a SLMPD Coordinating Committee budget work session scheduled for
July I", The Badger Park tennis courts have been resurfaced. The Manor Park project is moving forward.

applications for the finance director position. Director Brown and he have reviewed applications for the
light equipment operator position. Eleven of the applicants have a sanitary sewer license / water license.
The LEO applicants will have to take a practical exam.
In response to a question from Councilmember Turgeon, Administrator Heck explained the remaining
$11,900 in Waterford III Tax Increment Bond fund has not been factored into the Parks CIP. He thought
it could be used.
Director Brown stated Engineer Landini and he have met with the contractor who will be doing the
bituminous overlay of Eureka Road south and Yellowstone Trail. The contractor is anxious to get going
