Dawson, City Administrator ~J~,'~° RE: Enterprise Fund Budget Workshop: , Work-session -Monday, October 8, 2007 Attached for your review are Year 2008 budget drafts for the City's Enterprise Funds. These documents will be discussed at the work session on Monday night. The documents consist of budgets for the Water Operations and Water Debt Service; Sanitary Sewer Fund; Stormwater Management and Recycling Funds. The Liquor Operations budget is pending the disposition of the liquor stores. Water Budget The Water Fund budget is comprised of two parts: the Water Debt Service budget and the Water Operating budget. The 2008 Water Debt Service budget includes payments for the existing bond issues, including the 2006 issue for financing recent major water and well improvements. The debt service payments are programmed at approximately $388,000 and are paid by a transfer from the Water Operating budget. The 2008 Water Operating budget revenues are projected at $728,000 while expenses (including depreciation) are forecast at about $1.2 million. This amount includes capital expenditures to be funded from bond proceeds including: Amesbury Well enhancements; the Radio Read Meter project; the Woodhaven Well building demolition and the SE water tower rehab and painting. o~ j~ i~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLeD PAPER av 7 2008 Enterprise Budget Memo Page 2 of 3 In order for the Water Funds to be self-supporting, to assure the system can provide for improvements, and to preserve fund balance at stable levels, athree-year step approach to water rate increases was discussed and approved by the Council several years ago. Based on that plan, the current water rates are: $35 for up to 10,000 gallons; $2.95/1000 gallons for 10,000-50,000 gallons usage; and $3.75/1000 gallons for 50,000 + gallons usage. There are currently approximately 1,250 water connections that use an average of 30,000 gallons per quarter. The 2008 budget includes $8,000 for possible feasibility studies. Council has requested a discussion of changes in the water rate structure, particularly in terms of minimum charge and this matter was scheduled to coincide with budget review. Preliminary options will be discussed at the October 8work-session. Sanitary Sezver Budget The City currently has about 2,800 connections to its Sanitary Sewer System. Proposed operating expenditures for year 2008 are programmed at approximately $1.3 million. This amount includes capital improvements of approximately $300,000. Capital improvements for year 2008 include refurbishment of three lift stations (#12 -Christmas Lake Point (begun in 2007); #-15 -Enchanted Drive; and #16 -Enchanted Lane). Budgeted revenues are approximately $200,000 less than expenditures. In order to provide for a balanced budget, the City Council should discuss if a sanitary sewer rate increase is appropriate or if funds should be transferred from the sewer reserves to accommodate the shortfall. The Sewer rate is currently at $70 per quarter and has not been changed in five (5) years. An increase of $3 per quarter per household would provide an additional $33,600 and $5 per quarter per household would provide approximately an additional $56,000. The largest single Sanitary Sewer expense is the MCES wastewater charge, which is the amount the City must pay to the Metro Council for wastewater processing. The City's 2008 charges are $548,000. Each city's share of the cost is determined by the MCES using a formula based on the last actual known flows from the period July 1, 2006 -June 30, 2007. The monthly wastewater processing charge does not include I & I surcharges, which MCES could impose. The City received news that it was not subject to the Inflow & Infiltration surcharge program that the MCES implemented in 2007. We expect to again be exempted in 2008. However, to continue to be exempted from this program, the City will have to be proactive regarding I & I mitigation and funds have been designated for this purpose Stormzater Management Bicdget The 2008 Stormwater Management Budget draft contemplates expenditures of about $674,000. This includes operations and the major capital improvement of the Amlee, Manitou, Glenn Road Stormwater project ($540,500). Preliminary revenues are at $394,000, AFTER including a 2 2008 Enterprise Budget Memo Page 3 of 3 contemplated 2008 rate increase from $15 per residential property/per quarter to $30 per property/ per quarter. (Stormwater rates were changed effective 2007, however prior to that, there had not been a rate change since the inception of the Stormwater fund in 1993.) Despite this proposed 2008 increase, however, the revenues generated will be insufficient to cover the anticipated expenditures and the fund will fall into a deficit position. The Council discussed this possibility in July 2007, when it appeared that the projects shown in the six-year CIP schedule showed deficits beginning in 2008. Discussion is needed to determine how the Council would like to proceed regarding funding of the Stormwater Management projects. Recycling Budget The Recycling Budget draft contemplates expenditures of about $126,000. The City anticipates again receiving approximately $21,000 from Hennepin County Grant Funds. The number of households participating in the recycling program remains stable at about 1,100 households per month. Anew 33-month recycling contract has been put in place and the contract rate has increased slightly. The Spring Clean-Up Program changed in 2007 to discontinue the curbside collection component. Although every effort is made to recover costs through collection site fees, the City anticipates it will have to subsidize a portion of this program. In order to do so, a slight rate increase will be necessary and staff is suggesting a change from $1.75 per month per household to $2.75 per month per household. This $1.00 per month rate increase will generate an addition $33,000 annually and should be adequate to offset these increased costs for recycling and clean- up activity. Liquor ®perations As Council is aware, the City's Municipal Liquor Operation is currently for sale. It is a very strong possibility that the stores will be sold before year end, therefore the liquor budgets are currently on hold pending the outcome of anticipated offers. Conclusion We invite your response and comments on the Enterprise Budgets. Please advise if you would like additional information or if we can be of further assistance prior to the work-session. 3 CITY OF SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA DRAFT 2008 WATER DEBT SERVICE B~.JDGET Qctober 2007 FUND: Water SUBFUND: Water Debt Service MISSION: To provide for the retirement of debt incurred to construct water system improvements.

Dawson, City Administrator RE: City Council's Annual Appreciation Event for 2007 The 2007 Budget includes $5,500 for appreciation activities, nearly all of which is programmed for the City Council's annual appreciation dinner in December for commission members, volunteers, and staff. The dinner has been held in recent years in the Ballroom at the Minnetonka Country Club, and attendees have been encouraged to bring guests to join in the event. For 2007, the. Ballroom is not available the first Friday in December, but another room which seats 75 is available. Both the Ballroom and the smaller room are available on Saturday, December 8, as well as the following Friday, December 14 and Saturday, December 15. Anew consideration for this year's event has surfaced. In May, 2007, the State Auditor's Office released a Statement of Position on Employee Recognition Programs and Events. It includes the following: "Although we would consider. a program recognizing all employees to be inappropriate, light refreshments (i.e. coffee and cake) could be served to all county or city employees at a service award reception. The public entity may not pay for spouses or third parties to attend a recognition event. In addition, expenditure of public funds to purchase alcohol is not permitted. Of course, all elements of the employee recognition program should be approved in writing by the county board or city council before expenditures are made." The City of Shorewood has had a past practice of hosting an appreciation event to recognize employees, commissioners, volunteers, other local government officials, selected contractors, and their guests. The Auditor's position would require that contractors, other local government officials, and guests pay for their meals. ~ ; PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER __ ~ '~_ Mayor and City Council October 3, 2007 Council should discuss if it wishes to schedule an appreciation event, and what the event shall consist of. The event could continue as in the past, but with contractors, other local government officials, and guests paying for their meals; however, attendance may be less than in past years. Or, for example, the Council may wish to have a cake and coffee appreciation reception or open house, perhaps from 4:30-7:00 p.m. one evening during the holidays.

We have potential solutions to the hydrant refusals by relocating the hydrants, but the construction easement refusal solutions would be extremely challenging. 5565 Harding Lane appears to already have drainage and utility easements in place as shown on the excerpt from the Harding Acres 2"d Addition Plat, Attachment 1. 25190 Glen Road easement is for the cul-de-sac. We may be able to relocate the cul-de-sac to an alternate location. 24885 and 24845 Glen Road easements are for the hydrant and construction easement. The hydrant may be relocated. 24575 Glen Road easements are for a hydrant and construction easement. The hydrant maybe relocated. I have a meeting with the Church on Oct 9, 2007 at 6:30pm to discuss these easements further. Attachments 2-6 are sketches to demonstrate the type, number and status of verbal easement acquisition. Easements for recording purposes have not been sought at this stage. To start the forceful easement acquisition, appraisals would be required and take approximately 60 days to complete. The next step would be negotiation and final public hearings taking approximately 120 days. City Council Discussion: The Council's discussion should define whether the easements would be taken by eminent domain proceedings. ~-~~ PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER Jo . a ~ t s~ .e i ~•J e . ~~°~ ~~, * •. i •. / ,. ~ `` ~. . e' ~s •.,t`~d ~~t . ~0 o~ ;'' ~0 2g ti ~~ ~ ~- ,~, : ~~ /, •"" ~ P o/ ~ .~, t, ~h,p ~a~~ o~ ~: t of ~?, ~' / r, °a~ taQhh'o fi~ e r,~ ~.•.o 3 ~°~ ~e.go • ~ 4 .« 1 . 1 ti.f sawar eosament according to Doc.
