1. 2021 Park Board Recommendations – Pat Huelman, Chairman of the Park 15
Board, presented the Board’s recommendations for parks and trails projects in 2021. 16
He noted previously recommended projects that have been completed. Mr. Huelman 17 explained the Board’s recommendation criteria - greatest needs greatest impact and best 18 distribution. Recommendations: 19
- Lino Park (preferred concept plan included in staff report, including what could be 20
done by city employees); 21
- Clearwater Creek Playground Equipment (geographic consideration). 22
23 The also fully supports moving ahead with plans for “Tower Park” projects (hard court 24 facilities). 25
26
Mayor Rafferty noted that there is one City tennis court and one City pickleball court in 27
the whole of the city. While there are some facilities through the schools that is all for 28
the City. 29
30 Councilmember Stoesz noted that Lino Park is also used for Recycle Day. Staff replied 31
that work will be done to make sure that coexistence can continue. 32
33
Councilmember Lyden thanked Mr. Huelman for his long service on the Park Board. 34
35
Public Service Director DeGardner provided information on utilities, including water, to 36 the Lino Park. 37 38
Councilmember Lyden asked if funding provided for “Tower Park” was exclusive to 39
development of the hard courts and Mr. DeGardner noted that funds for the courts relate 40
to a council fund designation in 2018. Councilmember Lyden suggested that he is 41
reviewing the use of funds for the courts versus neighborhood park facilities. 42 43

Councilmember Ruhland asked if there is a check list for the Lino Park project; Mr. 44 DeGardner suggested that the list is currently a rough draft but will be finalized in coming 45
weeks. Staff is estimating project cost total at $250,000. Councilmember Ruhland asked 46
how much the park building is proposed to cost and Mr. DeGardner said it’s still under 47
discussion as to what type of shelter will be added. Councilmember Ruhland remarked 48
that the current shelter seems to be a good structure and he wonders if it could be saved. 49 50 Councilmember Cavegn asked if there are plans to extend the off road trail in the area of 51
Lino Park and Mr. DeGardner explained that would probably have to happen in 52
conjunction with an Anoka County road project on Lake Drive because trail development 53
is expensive. Councilmember Cavegn explained the danger that is posed for people 54
trying to get to the park using the shoulder of the road. 55 56 Councilmember Lyden asked for an update on dog park discussions. Mr. Huelman said 57
the Park Board has been informed that there’s interest in that type of facility. Mr. 58
DeGardner suggested that the discussion would probably be appropriate as part of a 59
strategic planning session. 60
61
Mayor Rafferty said he’s pleased about the attention to the Clearwater Creek area 62 considering its location. He also noted that he’s watching the types of parks being 63
developed in other cities currently. They are larger and multi-use and he’s interested in 64
that discussion. 65
66
Public Services Director DeGardner explained how staff is drilling down on the details; 67
tonight he’s hoping to get a preliminary approval to proceed with planning. 68 69 Councilmember Cavegn noted that staff plans to utilize the services of Landscape 70
Structures – aren’t they an expensive option? Mr. DeGardner said staff has worked with 71
them in the past and he feels the quality is there for the price; also they are included in the 72
State level contract. 73
74 Councilmember Stoesz noted that there is currently a sign at Lino Park for Lions 75 International; perhaps that is a funding source. 76
77
Councilmember Ruhland asked, what are the major reasons that Clearwater Creek Park 78
was selected? Mr. Huelmann noted high use, wear and tear on the equipment and 79
geographic location. Councilmember Ruhland asked what park would be the next 80 priority? Mr. DeGardner noted parks that were built earlier and plans for work on some 81 of those. 82
83
Councilmember Lyden said he supports the plans for the park facilities but he’s 84
concerned about 1) having water (fountains) in the parks and 2) hard court plans for 85
“Tower Park”. 86
87 The council concurred in supporting the recommendations and planning at this time. 88

2. YMCA Update – Community Development Director Grochala noted that the City 90
is 28 days out from taking possession of the property. The attorney representing the City 91
is working on documents relating to transfer of the property ownership to the City. As far 92
as the facilities study that is underway, conversations are moving ahead including with 93 the council and school district. He’s hoping for a preliminary report within the next 94 couple weeks. There is a tour tentatively set up for next Monday to see the facility 95
(Councilmember Ruhland is not available). The council changed the tour date to 96
Tuesday, February 9th. 97
98 Mr. Grochala said the YMCA is offering some of the equipment in the building for sale 99 or continue a lease arrangement. Staff is proposing passing on the equipment lease since 100 it’s a monthly cost. The equipment for sale is being considered by staff. The consultant 101
is looking at the equipment to make a recommendation as well. He noted that the 102
YMCA sign is coming down very soon. The council would like the opportunity to see 103
the equipment. 104
105 Councilmember Stoesz asked if there is an alarm system on the building. Mr. Grochala 106 said there’s a fire alarm system. Transfer of the facilities is already including education 107
on facility maintenance. 108
109
The mayor asked about utility costs and staff estimated the cost at about $5,000 a month. 110
Councilmember Ruhland asked if there are costs involved in winterizing the facility and 111 the council remarked that it is already so; the mechanical systems have been kept well. 112 113
3. Smart Irrigation Controller Program – Environmental Coordinator Nelson 114
reported. Mr. Nelson noted that irrigation is a big use of water in the City and and water 115
waste can be up to fifty percent. He explained the proposal to institute a controller 116 program (as outlined in the staff report). He noted that the Environmental Board did 117 recommend proceeding with the program. When asked by the mayor about the funding 118
and turn around sale of equipment to residents, Mr. Nelson explained that the proposal is 119
based on programs already in place in other cities, including the possibility of grant 120
funding those cities have received. 121
122 Community Development Director Grochala added that the ultimate goal is to reduce 123 infrastructure needs down the line, something that could be a huge economic savings. He 124
also noted that it’s based on equipment that the City has already used for City property. 125
Currently staff is proposing that this be funded through the City with the possibility of 126
grant funding down the line. 127
128
Councilmember Cavegn asked if the conversion is an easy transition that people will be 129 able to handle. Mr. Nelson explained that experience in other cities has brought forward 130
information on what equipment works the best for residents so that should be helpful. 131
Councilmember Cavegn asked how staff would handle a citizen requesting to be removed 132
from the program and Mr. Nelson explained that the equipment is controlled by the owner 133

so they can make the settings as they chose and wouldn’t need to remove the equipment 134 for a change in preferences. 135
136
Councilmember Ruhland asked how long the City of Hugo has had the program and Mr. 137
Nelson said it’s been two years (they’ve sold approximately 100 units and have 150 left). 138
Councilmember Ruhland also asked what’s to stop a person from buying the units at this 139 discount and selling them for a profit; Mr. Nelson said the program allows for the City to 140 check and ensure equipment is being used. 141
142
Councilmember Stoesz expressed concern that the City may be competing with private 143
retailers who would be selling this equipment. 144
145 Councilmember Lyden remarked that he has questions about the program. He sees it 146 differently than as used for City property. 147
148
City Administrator Cotton remarked that, from a utility billing perspective, she has seen 149
bills that indicate people have programs that run the same amount of water year after 150
year, never taking into consideration the type of control offered by this program 151
equipment that would save water and costs. 152 153
Mr. Nelson noted that the number one water usage in the city is irrigation and 154
communicating to the residents on the matter can be very effective. This program would 155
be an additional tool. He noted that if every household in the City were hooked up, the 156
water savings could be 20 percent across the board. Although technology changes, this 157
is the best equipment available now. 158 159 Councilmember Cavegn said he’s in support of the program and he’s aware that the 160
technology has been around for a while and is tested. He likes the long term benefits. 161
162
Councilmember Ruhland said he agrees with much of what Councilmember Cavegn has 163
said; he is in favor of the program. 164 165 Councilmember Stoesz remarked that infrastructure requires internet connection and that 166
could be an issue for some people. He is opposed to the program; he will probably be 167
purchasing a system on his own and thinks that communication is the best way to handle 168
conservation. 169
170 Mayor Rafferty remarked that he understands remarks heard on both sides of the matter. 171 But he knows that water conservation is an important issue to the City. If this starts to 172
spread the word, all the better. There is subsidy of the City involved so there will be 173
scrutiny but you still have to solve problems. 174
175
Councilmember Lyden asked if the City could provide the equipment paid through utility 176
billing. 177 178

If directed, staff would expect to provide information on the program through the next 179 newsletter with availability probably in April. 180
181
Community Development Director Grochala suggested that staff could work to address 182
questions and report back at the next work session. The council concurred. 183
184 4. Fire Services – Public Safety Director Swenson and Public Safety Deputy 185
Director L’Allier were present. Chief Swenson explained that police personnel had until 186
today to indicate their interest in the new position. Only one person is interested in the 187
new Police Officer / Firefighter position so staff recommends looking at other options: 188
daytime fire duty crew; contracting with an outside vendor to provide daytime fire 189 response; collaborating with another jurisdiction for daytime fire response. Staff is 190 looking for council suggestions as well. 191
192
Mayor Rafferty asked staff to work with personnel and administrative staff on viable 193 options. There is some staff work involved. 194
195
Director Swenson said staff will continue with the options they have presented. Staff is 196
bringing this forward in order to be proactive to ensure the resources are in place long 197
term to provide this vital service. 198 199 Councilmember Lyden noted that fire service is a core responsibility. He quoted the late 200
President John F. Kennedy who suggested seeking neither a Republican nor Democrat 201
answer but rather the right answer. Responsibility for the future in this case is to be open 202
to all suggestions. He’s open to all conversations for potential solutions. 203
204
Councilmember Ruhland asked about paid on-call – aren’t they working from home 205 now? Director Swenson said that the number of paid on-call members responding during 206
the weekday daytime hours has been reduced in recent weeks. This is likely a result of 207
the paid on-call firefighters no longer working from home. 208
209
Councilmember Stoesz asked about the process of consideration by officers. Director 210
Swenson explained that Human Resources was involved and a form created that was 211 distributed to police personnel. Director Swenson added that police personnel are 212 concerned about the permanency of the position – the City needs to have permanency for 213
the long term stability of fire service delivery and the officers seem to prefer flexibility. 214
215
Mayor Rafferty asked about the possibility of bringing new people in under this new 216
position. Director Swenson remarked that there aren’t a lot of candidates who would 217 meet the requirements; he added information on how the City of Woodbury hires officers 218 with an understanding that the job could change. 219
220
Councilmember Lyden said the residents need the services and doing the same thing over 221
and over isn’t working. Using the vendor scenario, what happens to cross trained officers 222
currently in the department? Director Swenson said they are currently paid an hourly 223
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
DRAFT
6
stipend, providing services on a voluntary basis through a Memo of Understanding 224 attached to their labor contract; if the need for cross trained officers ends, then the stipend 225
would probably end also. 226
227
Mayor Rafferty suggested allowing staff to continue their approach of reviewing 228
options. The council will receive a report back. 229 230 5. Charter Commission Expenditures – Administrator Cotton reviewed her 231
written report on Charter Commission expenditures. The Commission is requesting an 232
increase in their budget based on a recent state law amendment allowing an increase in 233
charter commission expenses that are reimbursed by municipalities. If the authorized by 234 the council, the additional funds would be designated from the contingency fund in the 235 amount indicated in the report. The commission has not indicated that they have a 236
specific use but would like the funds to be available. 237
238
Councilmember Lyden noted that the amount allowed to charter commissions under state 239
law hasn’t increased probably since the 1960’s. Also he asked how much has the Lino 240 Lakes Charter Commission returned because they haven’t used funds in past years. City 241 Administrator Cotton replied that the commission has returned about $12,000 to the 242
general fund in the last six years. Councilmember Lyden noted the previous amount 243
allowed ($1,500) and how difficult it is for a charter commission to actually engage an 244
attorney at that amount. He supports the Commission’s request. 245
246 The council confirmed that if the funds aren’t used within the year, they would return to 247 the general fund. 248
249
When Mayor Rafferty asked, why provide the funds now and instead wait to see if they 250
need the funds? Administrator Cotton explained that the Commission has some concern 251
that they’d had to come to the council in order to have the funds become available. 252
Mayor Rafferty said he is hesitant because the Commission can make the request when 253 necessary. 254
255
Councilmembers Cavegn, Stoesz, Ruhland and Lyden expressed support. A budget 256
amendment will be brought forward for council action. 257

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 1E STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: February 22, 2021
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 21-10, Approving Sale of Wetland Bank
Credits, TEG Land Holdings VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION Staff is requesting City Council consideration to approve the sale of .7007 acres (30,523 SF) of wetland credit from bank 1601 (Wollan) for a total purchase price of $76,306.23 plus transaction
fees.
BACKGROUND The Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) requires replacement of any construction related wetland
impacts on a per square foot basis. Minnesota's wetland banking program includes both private
and state-sponsored wetland banks which have "credits" that are used to offset (mitigate) authorized wetland impacts. The banks are subject to approval of both the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The City currently has one bank remaining with available credits.
The City has one remaining wetland bank. Bank No. 1601 (Wollan) is located west of Lake Drive and north of Main Street. The bank has 3.3424 acres of ACOE approved credits. Bank No. 1122 has been closed following approval of credit sale in December of 2020.
Staff has received a request to purchase wetland credits from TEG Land Holdings. The purchase
agreement provides for the sale of credits subject to approval of the wetland mitigation plan by the local, state, and federal regulator agencies. The buyer is requesting purchase of .7007 acres of credit from bank 1601 in the amount of
$76,306.23.57 ($2.50/SF).
RECOMMENDATION With this purchase, bank 1601 will have 2.6417 acres of credit remaining. Sale of the credits will be used to fund ongoing maintenance of the bank areas and development of new restoration/banking opportunities.
Staff is proposing, at this time, that the remaining credit balance be reserved for local projects (city or economic development related), until another bank can be established. Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 21-10.

TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 21-12, Authorizing Preparation of
Utility Rate Study
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council consideration to authorize preparation of a Utility Rate Study.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the utility rate study is to ensure adequate funding to cover the cost of
operations, current and future bonding, and to maintain adequate cash reserves to continually
update and maintain the capital infrastructure. The last study was performed in 2012 and rates
were last increased in 2015.
Furthermore, in July 2020, the City Council reviewed the Water Treatment Plant Feasibility
Study and directed staff to explore potential funding sources and impacts to user rates. Staff
received eight proposals for the utility rate study and are recommending the authorization of
Baker Tilly to conduct the study.
Baker Tilly performed rate studies for the City in both 2008 and 2012. They have provided a
comprehensive project approach/work plan and have extensive experience with long-term
financial forecasts, cost of service and rate studies. Baker Tilly is proposing to complete the
study by the target date of May 19, 2021 in the amount of $17,730.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommencing acceptance of the proposal and authorization to enter into a Professional
Services Agreement with Baker Tilly.

E. Project approach/work plan
Our understanding of Lino Lakes’ needs
The City is requesting proposals from qualified firms to perform a comprehensive water and sewer rate study. The purpose of the study is to ensure adequate funding to cover the cost of operation, current and future bonding, and to maintain adequate cash reserves to continually update and maintain the capital infrastructure.
Our overall objective is to recommend rates and fees that will equitably recover the cost of providing water and sewer services to customers. Our recommended rates and fees will ensure adequate funding for operating and maintenance costs, and capital needs, while minimizing the impact on rates to the greatest extent possible. New rates recommended as a result of this study should be fair and equitable to all customers.
Why Baker Tilly is ideally suited to serve Lino Lakes
– Municipal utility rate study experience. For more than 50 years, our specialists have worked with communities to review utility rates and connection/impact fees, explore
available financing for project improvements and perform long-range financial forecasting. We help as many as 50 utility clients each year plan for the future through long-term forecasting and planning for major capital projects that require creative rate and funding solutions. This experience gives Baker Tilly a broad view of industry issues and a specific familiarity with municipal utility goals.
– User charge analysis experience. Baker Tilly has completed more than 90 utility
rate studies in several states since 2016. Our clients have ranged from very large utilities to relatively small utilities and have included utilities experiencing rapid growth, as well as utilities experiencing a decline in their customer base.
– Meeting project schedules. Baker Tilly has a long history of successfully meeting
our clients’ schedules and we are committed to meeting every deadline set forth by the City. We believe in extensive planning and continuous project management to
ensure that key personnel is available when needed to ensure all deliverables are completed on time or ahead of schedule.
– Lino Lakes is a long-standing Baker Tilly client. Baker Tilly has a long history of working with the City on various projects, including bond issuances, tax increment
financing, compensation projects and prior utility rate studies. Our team has a thorough understanding of the City and strives to continue this relationship.

consulting services to the City of Lino Lakes. Our dedicated utility professionals will provide you with realistic ideas and solutions to your challenges. We understand your

City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Page | 11
E. Project approach/work plan
Our process to help the City achieve its objectives and our approach to this project is shown in the diagram below. Further details are provided in the tasks that follow.
Project approach
Task 1 – Administration/coordination/meeting
− Project kick-off meeting
Introduce Baker Tilly project team to the City’s Project Management Team
Review project approach and revise as required
o Discuss and confirm the study objectives, scope and approach presented in this proposal
o Arrange logistics including data collection, specific dates for status reports and meetings, contact persons at the City, and any remaining contractual matters
o Finalize work plan including any revisions to the proposed objectives, scope and approach, as well as consultant assignments and specific schedules for the project tasks
Provide data requests listing key data and documents needed by Baker Tilly for the study
Task 2 – Review background information
– Review background information for each Utility
Review the City’s current water and sewer rates
Review the City’s current policies, goals and objectives
Review historical financial information, volumetric rates, system fees, meter fees, and other fees and charges that provide sources of revenue
Review relevant current financial and operating information including Adopted Budgets, Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, and internal financial forecasts and financial reports
Review historical trends in revenues, expenditures and ending cash balances
Evaluate the current rate schedule’s ability to adequately fund future operational and capital requirements; estimates will include optimistic, pessimistic and most likely assumptions
Review the equity of the current rate structure including conservation elements initially established in our 2008 rate study
Review projected maintenance, repair and/or replacement costs of existing utility assets
Review any current allocation of costs to functional cost components and to rates and charges
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Page | 12
E. Project approach/work plan
Project approach
Review any current allocations of capital costs to system development fees, connection fees and other charges
Review current and historical billing data, including water consumption history
Review current funding practices, funding sources and policies related to financing capital improvements
Review and update the existing capital improvement plan identifying the sources of funding for each improvement
Review outstanding debt service related to the water and sewer utilities
Review any existing debt service coverage requirements for both senior and subordinate debt and the impact of adding additional debt to finance new capital improvements.
Task 3 – Analyze existing rate structure/conduct rate study
– Develop a 10-year financial projection for each utility that integrates all anticipated revenue sources, anticipated operating expenditures including existing and projected new depreciation, anticipated capital expenditures, existing and projected debt service and changes in the customer base over the planning period:
Develop recommendations for the financing of the anticipated capital improvements
o Evaluate financing alternatives and structures to minimize rate impacts to the greatest extent possible
Develop recommendations for funding infrastructure replacement/renewal
Develop recommendations for cash reserve balances
Review the 2020 Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study and explore potential funding scenarios
Identify the overall change in revenue required to provide for adequate funding for major capital improvement programs, to fund infrastructure replacement/renewal, to meet all recurring annual operating and capital expenditures, to cover all debt service requirements, to comply with any existing revenue bond and loan covenants, and to maintain sufficient cash balances and capital reserves. The projections will be made using an income statement approach and will include a yearly cash flow analysis.
Develop a range of alternative rate structures that provide revenue recovery at levels necessary to support each utility’s operation as defined above for a 10-year period. Rates developed will include fixed and variable user fees, system fees, and other fees and charges that provide sources of revenue to each utility. Our recommended fee/rate structure will result in no decrease in the stability of revenue streams for each utility, as compared to the current rate structures. Rate structures will take into consideration the following:
o Current and future cost of providing utility services in accordance with established
and anticipated standards and regulations
o Projected demand
o The need to fund both long-term capital improvements and replacements and
annual capital reinvestment, including the proposed Water Treatment Plant
o Funding requirements for all current and anticipated long-term liabilities and debt obligations (bonds and loans)
o Impact of current and future environmental regulations
o Maintenance of existing utility assets and infrastructure
o Direct identification of revenues appropriate to fund utility operating activities and infrastructure
o Base rates to cover fixed costs and consumption rates to cover variable costs
o Ability of each alternative water rate structures’ potential to reduce per-capita demand and the impact on overall demand
o The City’s Springbrook utility billing system
o Weigh the benefits of any proposed charges in rate structures against the financial impacts on ratepayers, including an affordability analysis for residential customers
o Perform a sensitivity analysis to illustrate the impacts of adverse assumption changes (e.g. future customer growth, water sales, seasonable aberrations, operating costs, capital costs)
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Page | 13
E. Project approach/work plan
Project approach
Compare the proposed fees and charges to the current rates, fees and charges and demonstrate the effect of proposed rates on typical utility customers. A minimum of five
customers in each rate classification will be compared.
Evaluate and compare the proposed fee structure to each utility’s current fee structure and to the fee structures of at least five neighboring local government utilities
Make recommendations for reasonable operational or policy level strategies (i.e. refinancing, combining or paying off outstanding bond issues, deferring or accelerating capital investment, which the City may reasonably consider for mitigating the impact of any proposed/required rate increases
Make recommendations on any changes in miscellaneous fees and charges to ensure they are reasonable; compare these to the fees and charges of the five neighboring communities selected.
– Review the rate study with City staff. Based on this review, we will modify or change the rate study, incorporating the City staff’s comments as appropriate
Task 4 – Prepare and present report of findings and recommendations
– Baker Tilly will prepare a Draft Report of Findings for discussion with the Project Management Team. All changes will be incorporated in the Final Report of Findings and Recommendations.
– Baker Tilly will prepare and present a Report of Findings and Recommendations that will
contain our findings and recommended rate structures to the City Council in a workshop session
We will provide an electronic copy in PDF format
Expectations
In order to conduct this study, the City will need to designate a staff member to serve as a project manager (noted as Ms. Lynch in the RFP). This person will be responsible for assisting Baker Tilly with any questions that may arise regarding the utilities and reviewing the draft and final reports.

For Baker Tilly, the safety of our people is paramount. We are committed to playing our part in containing COVID-19 by practicing responsible social distancing. In most cases, our firm has directed all professionals to

Tilly to come together, share files, assign tasks and track activity in a secure environment. Using Huddle as a central hub of activity means we all spend less time organizing
documents, chasing approvals and searching through email – and more time achieving tangible results.
