Rafferty
Staff Members Present: City Administrator Sarah Cotton; Public Safety Director John Swenson;
Community Development Director Michael Grochala; City Planner Katie Larsen, Human
Resources Communication Manager Meg Sawyer, City Attorney, Jay Squires.
1. Setting the Agenda
The agenda was accepted as presented.
2. Discussion Regarding Potential Residential Development Moratorium.
Community Development Director Michael Grochala, reviewed a PowerPoint presentation
providing information on the following topics related to a potential residential development
moratorium:
Sod Farm Area Development Proposals
Project Location Map
Water Supply Update
Land Use
Growth Projections
Utility Staging
Grochala noted that at the April 1 work session, the City Council discussed the possible
consideration of a development moratorium in light of two potential projects proposed in
the northwest quadrant of the city noting concerns over water capacity and planning
considerations for the Main Street corridor.
Director Grochala spoke about the requirements of the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) related to Water Appropriation Permits, as well as the ruling made by the
Ramsey County District Court concerning the groundwater management of White Bear Lake
and the Prairie Du Chien‐Jordan Aquifer. The city is subject to a court order prohibiting the
issuance of new well permits or increases within a 5 mile radius of White Bear Lake unless
30
2
certain conditions are met. He stated that the city is not close to running out of water.
Director Grochala discussed the replacement of Well 2 and the addition of Well 7 in the
future.
Director Grochala explained that 2040 Comprehensive Plan includes specific guidance for
Planning District 2; recommending a Master Plan for the Main Street corridor between
Sunset Avenue and Main Street.
City Attorney Jay Squires provided a brief update on the contested case hearings and
reviewed the statutory requirements regarding the imposition of a moratorium. Minnesota
Statute 462.355 authorizes cities to adopt a moratorium. A study must be conducted to
adopt a moratorium. The moratorium can be city‐wide or in a specific area and can be
adopted for up to one year. Attorney Squires reviewed some of the procedural
requirements, including notice and public hearings.
Councilmember Cavegn asked if the existing White Bear Lake water study would be an
acceptable study for the moratorium. Attorney Squires stated typically the Council will
provide general guidance on the parameters of study, including the issues involving water
supply and planning.
Councilmember Ruhland made a statement regarding his proposal for a moratorium. His
concerns are centered around two major developments that will add thousands of new
homes to a gateway leading into Lino Lakes. Noting significant development interest,
Councilmember Ruhland is interested in public input and the creation of a master plan for
the northwest quadrant. He stated, “This moratorium isn’t meant to stifle development, but
to ensure clarity, transparency, and thoughtful planning.”
City Attorney Jay Squires stated that during the moratorium process, there will be meetings
with the public, so they can provide feedback.
The Council agreed to move forward to prepare a draft interim ordinance (moratorium) for
the northwest quadrant of the City specific to residential development.
Councilmember Lyden would also like to include more protection for the Rice Creek Chain
of Lakes.
Councilmember Cavegn was open to further discussion on the topic.
3. Notices and Communications
Councilmember Ruhland stated Anoka County Fire Protection Council adopted a budget.
4. Adjourn
The Special Work Session concluded at 7:10 PM.

BACKGROUND
Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 349.166, organizations are eligible to obtain an exempt permit to
conduct a raffle without obtaining a full gambling license and without abiding by all provisions
required by licensed organizations if:
• the organization conducts lawful gambling on five or less days per year;
• the organization does not award more than $50,000 in prizes for lawful gambling in
a calendar year;
• the organization submits a board-prescribed application and pays a fee of
$100 to the board for each gambling occasion, and receives an exempt permit
number from the board. The application must include the date and location of the
occasion, the types of lawful gambling to be conducted, and the prizes to be awarded;
• the organization notifies the local government unit 30 days before the lawful
gambling occasion, or 60 days for an occasion held in a city of the first class;
• the organization purchases all gambling equipment and supplies from a licensed
distributor; and
• the organization reports to the board, on a single-page form prescribed by the
board, within 30 days of each gambling occasion, the gross receipts, prizes,
expenses, expenditures of net profits from the occasion, and the identification of
the licensed distributor from whom all gambling equipment was purchased.
Additionally, City Ordinance, Section 611.07, requires that any organization applying for any
lawful gambling permit under Minn. Stat. 349.11 through 349.23, receive approval from
City Council. Although this application is for an exempt permit, for a one-time event, Council
approval is still required.

LOCAL BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION MEETING
1. 2024 Assessor’s Report
Anoka County Appraiser Shawn Halligan presented an annual report to the Local Board of
Appeals and Equalization, highlighting that in 2023, there were 199 qualified sales, the
average sale price was $436,400, and median days on the market was 18 days. The
assessor’s office received 19 calls this year ‐ 18 from lakefront properties.
The Board opened the floor to accept appeals.
2. Local Board of Appeal and Equalization Hearing
Bernadine Skoglund, 7481 Lake Drive/ PID 17‐31‐22‐24‐0004, PID 17‐31‐22‐24‐0006, PID 17‐
31‐22‐24‐0007, PID 17‐31‐22‐24‐0008, stated she owns four parcels. Three parcels have
been rezoned to commercial. She asked the Board if she could continue to homestead those
parcels. Stated PID 17‐31‐22‐24‐0007 is a little over half an acre of land and the value has
increased 75%. Skoglund noted the electricity company dropped lines on the property and
can no longer grow any grass. The Assessor’s Office will need to take a look at the property.
Mrs. Skoglund would still like to homestead the land.
Robert Nelson, 6733 East Shadow Lake Drive/PID 23‐31‐22‐21‐0004, addressed the board
with concerns about the increase. Stated his house is the oldest and smallest in the
neighborhood, and no improvements have been made in the past 25 years. His property has
increased in market value by 29%. This increase is three times larger than any past increase;
the increase has almost made it impossible to stay in the house. Mr. Halligan noted that a
site visit had been conducted. Mr. Halligan stated the home value decreased a little this
past year.

Councilmember Ruhland noted he sits on the Anoka County Board of Appeals so if residents
are unable to resolve their assessment with County staff and brings their appeal forward to
the County Board of Appeals, he will be present to hear that appeal as well.
John Kulas, 6110 Bald Eagle Blvd. W/PID 36‐31‐22‐44‐0004, stated the value of his land has
increased by $200,000. He reviewed other properties near him and the prices they sold for.
Mr. Halligan conducted a walk‐through of the property and stated that this property is the
nicest of the three residents in attendance. Mr. Dagostino stated the Bald Eagle Lake lot tax
value is lower than Ramsey and Washington County, and the land value should have been
increased many years ago. Councilmember Ruhland inquired as to when the property was
last visited, prior to this year. Mr. Dagostino replied five years ago. Councilmember Ruhland
discussed comparable land properties. Councilmember Cavegn stated the low land value in
the past was an error on Anoka County’s part and inquired if there was a way to gradually
increase the taxes. Mr. Halligan stated that after visiting the property, the improvement
value would decrease by $12,800. Original value: $746,900; revised value: $734,100.
Robert Wall, 6020 Bald Eagle Blvd. W/PID 36‐31‐22‐44‐0006, stated his view from his
property is a forest, not a lake. Mr. Halligan conducted a walk‐through of the property for
lake access and recommends keeping the value as is.
Mike Wisniewski, 6011 Bald Eagle Blvd. W/PID 36‐31‐22‐44‐0008, stated he finds it unfair
that he is being taxed on 3.28 acres of land when a large amount of the area is cattails.
Property taxes have increased every year since 2020. Six months of the year, he can’t see
the lake due to the trees. Half of the property is covered by a floating bog of cattails. Mr.
Dagostino and Mr. Halligan are in the process of adjusting this parcel. Mr. Halligan discussed
decreasing the building improvements by $4,100. Mr. Dagostino guessed the land value
would decrease by approximately $30,000.
No further appeals were received from residents.
ADJOURNMENT
With no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned by Councilmember
Ruhland at 6:40 PM.
These minutes were considered and approved at the regular Council Meeting on June 10, 2024.

INTRODUCTION
The Council is being asked to accept the 2023 Audit Report. Andy Hering of Redpath and Company
attended the June 3, 2024 City Council Work Session and provided an overview of the City’s 2023
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. In addition, he presented the auditor’s management
analysis and answered any questions the Council had regarding the financial condition of the City.
BACKGROUND
The 2023 audit fieldwork was completed in April. The auditors review all financial transactions
and the financial reports of the City over the previous year for their fairness in presentation and
for full disclosure of all material aspects of the City’s financial condition. This review is
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. The auditors concluded that the City’s financial
statements presented fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the City as of
December 31, 2023. The auditors also issue their reports on the City’s legal compliance with
certain laws, regulations, contracts, etc., our internal control structure, and management
issues.
It should be noted that the City has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in
Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and
Canada for its 2022 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The city has received this award
each year since 1995. We believe that the report issued for 2023 continues to uphold the high
standards of reporting excellence that this prestigious award represents.

Honorable Mayor
Members of the City Council
Citizens of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Minnesota State law requires that cities over 2,500 population publish within six months of the close of
each fiscal year a complete set of financial statements presented in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) and audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by a
firm of licensed certified public accountants and submit them to the State Auditor. Pursuant to that
requirement, we hereby issue the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of Lino Lakes.
Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the
information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations,
management of the City of Lino Lakes has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is
designed both to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient
reliable information for the preparation of the City of Lino Lakes’ financial statements in conformity with
GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive
framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that
the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best
of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City of Lino Lakes’ financial statements have been audited by Redpath and Company, a firm of licensed
certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the
financial statements of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are free of material
misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The
independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
unmodified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, are
fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first
component of the financial section of this report.
GAAP require that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the
basic financial statements in the form of a Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of
transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of
Lino Lakes’ MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

Profile of the Government
The City of Lino Lakes, incorporated in 1955, is a growing community in the southeast corner of Anoka
County. It covers an area of 33 square miles and has a population of approximately 21,976. The population
has more than doubled from the 1990 census figure of 8,807 and has grown by 10% since 2010. Within the
City’s borders lies the 5,500 acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park. Access to St. Paul and
Minneapolis is provided by I-35W and I-35E.
The City Charter, as amended, establishes a mayor-council form of government and grants the City Council
full policy-making and legislative authority to the Mayor and four Council Members. The City Council is
responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees, and
hiring a City Administrator. The City Administrator has the responsibility of carrying out the policies and
ordinances of the City Council and for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City. The City Council
is elected at-large on a non-partisan basis, with Council Members serving four-year terms and the Mayor
serving a two-year term. Elections are held every two years with two council seats and the Mayor being up
for election each election cycle.
The City provides a full range of municipal services. These services include: general government, public
safety (police, fire and building inspections), public works (street and fleet), culture and recreation (parks
and recreation), conservation of natural resources (environmental, solid waste abatement, forestry),
community development, public improvements, and providing and maintaining water, sewer, and storm
water infrastructure.
The annual budget is the foundation for the City of Lino Lakes’ financial planning and control. All
departments are required to submit appropriations requests to the City Administrator for review and
consolidation into a proposed budget. The City Administrator is responsible for submitting the proposed
annual budget to the City Council in August of each year. The City Council is required to hold a public
hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt by resolution a final budget and certify it no later than
December 30. The budget amounts cannot increase beyond the estimated receipts except to the extent that
actual receipts exceed the estimate. Department Directors may make transfers of appropriations within a
department, but transfers of appropriations between departments require City Council approval. Budget-to-
actual comparisons for the General Fund and The Rookery Activity Center Fund, the only governmental
funds for which an annual budget has been adopted, are provided in Statements 10 and 11, respectively.
Factors Affecting Financial Condition
The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from
the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of Lino Lakes operates.
Local economy. Commercial and industrial sectors remain strong with few vacancies and new commercial
projects underway on both the 35W and 35E Corridors. The 62 lot Nature’s Refuge project began home
construction in 2022 and the City’s largest residential development, the 864 lot Watermark project,
expanded into its seventh addition. Commercial interest continues to grow with the expansion of the Otter
Crossing and Belland Farms developments along Main Street.
The 35E corridor has also gained additional attention through a partnership with Anoka and Washington
Counties, neighboring cities, and Connexus Energy, to establish the Minnesota Technology Corridor. Over
1,000 acres are available along the corridor with strong transportation, fiber and utility infrastructure to
serve the growing data and tech fields.
4
68
Factors Affecting Financial Condition (Continued)
Overall, the City continued to see substantial development activity in 2023. The City issued building
permits for 110 residential units and 6 new commercial establishments in 2023. Total building permit
valuation was approximately $57 million.
Long-term financial planning. The City’s current Financial Plan identifies capital equipment purchases
and building and infrastructure improvements totaling $128 million over the five-year period. These
improvements are anticipated to be funded through a number of funding sources, including tax levies,
special assessments, fund reserves, bond proceeds, and intergovernmental grants. The Plan is currently
being revised to reflect the anticipated activity through fiscal year 2029.
Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awards the
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting (COA) to cities that meet certain criteria.
The City of Lino Lakes received this award for its ACFR for the year ended December 31, 2022. This marks
the twenty-eighth consecutive year the City has received this prestigious award. A governmental unit must
publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR, the contents of which conform to program
requirements. This report must satisfy both GAAP and applicable legal requirements.
The COA is valid for a period of one year. The City is submitting the 2023 report to GFOA for consideration
of the COA. We believe our current report continues to conform to the high standards of the program.
The timely preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the dedicated services of
the Finance Department, auditors and other city staff. I want to express my appreciation to the Mayor and
City Council for their support for maintaining the highest standard of professionalism in the management
of the financial operation of the City.
Respectfully submitted,
Hannah Lynch
Director of Finance

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of
the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes,
Minnesota's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position,
and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are
required to be independent of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our
audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
15
79
of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant
to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City
of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond
the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise
substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial
likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by
a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
Governmental Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's
internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's
ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
16
80
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain
internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedules, and the
schedules of OPEB and pension information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to
supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational,
economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's basic financial statements. The
combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing
and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves,
and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining and individual nonmajor fund
financial statements and schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other
information comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic
financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial
statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form
of assurance thereon.
17
81
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other
information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to
be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected
material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our
report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
May 28, 2024 on our consideration of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control
over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is
solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal
control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota (the City), we offer readers of the
City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of
the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished
in our letter of transmittal, which can be found in the introductory section of this report.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $144,318,999 (net
position). Of this amount, $36,740,342 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the
City’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund
designations and fiscal policies.
The City’s total net position increased by $5,380,524.
As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $34,017,053, an increase of $471,855. Of this amount, $7,083,189
is restricted by external constraints established by creditors, grantors, contributors, or by state
statutory provisions.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the general fund balance was $8,583,880. Unassigned
fund balance for the general fund was $7,940,364, or 66% of total general fund expenditures
and other financing uses.
Total outstanding debt decreased by $2,514,595 during 2023. No new debt was issued, while
regularly scheduled principal payments were made during the year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic
financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements comprise three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the
financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition
to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are
designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar
to a private-sector business.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets and deferred
outflows of resources, and liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference
between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City’s net position
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon
as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related
cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that
will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but
unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities)
from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs
through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The governmental activities of the
City include general government, public safety, public works, culture and recreation,
conservation of natural resources, and community development. The business-type activities
of the City include water, sewer, and storm water utilities.
The government-wide financial statements are statements 1 and 2 of this report.
Fund Financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to
maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives.
The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City
can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same
functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial
statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on
balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may
be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide
financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental
funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide
financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the
City's near-term financial decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and change in fund balance provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental
activities.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The City maintains seven individual major governmental funds. Information is presented
separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance for the following major funds:
General Fund
The Rookery Activity Center – Special Revenue Fund
G.O. Improvement Note of 2009A – Debt Service Fund
G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B – Debt Service Fund
Capital Equipment Replacement – Capital Project Fund
Area and Unit Trunk – Capital Project Fund
MSA Construction – Capital Project Fund
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form
of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic governmental fund financial statements are statements 3 through 5 of this report.
The City adopts annual appropriated budgets for the General Fund and The Rookery Activity
Center Fund. Budgetary comparison schedules are presented as statements 10 and 11 of this
report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains three enterprise funds as a part of its proprietary
fund type. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for its water, sewer, and storm water utilities.
The proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information as the government-
wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements
provide separate information for the Water, Sewer, and Storm Water Funds, which are
considered to be major funds of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements are statements 7 through 9 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential
to a full understanding of the data provided in the government–wide and fund financial
statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found following statement 9.
Other information. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-
major governmental funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary
information. Combining and individual fund statements and schedules are presented as
statements 19 through 26.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's
financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $144,318,999 at the close of the most recent
fiscal year.
The largest portion of the City’s net position ($98,180,477 or 68%) reflects its net investment
in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings, equipment, and infrastructure) less any related debt
used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to
provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be
noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since
the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

Of the City’s net position, $9,398,180 represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position
($36,740,342) may be used to meet ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is able to report positive balances in all three
categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business-type activities.

Business-Type Activities TotalsGovernmental Activities
Governmental Activities
Governmental activities increased the City’s net position by $4,252,731 during 2023.
General property taxes increased due to increased police and fire expenses, park and trail
maintenance, employee wages and benefits, and economic inflationary impacts to supply and
service expenditures. Grants and contributions not restricted to specific programs decreased
from 2022 as a result of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for culture and recreation
expenses. Unrestricted investment earnings contributed to the increase in net position in 2023
due to unrealized gains on investments with the stable interest rate environment.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
Governmental Funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information
on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined
ending fund balances of $34,017,053. Approximately 21% of this total amount ($7,083,189)
constitutes fund balance restricted by external constraints established by creditors, grantors,
contributors, or by state statutory provisions. Of the remaining fund balance, $727,460 is not
in a spendable form, $355,635 has been committed, $20,707,533 has been assigned, and
$5,143,236 is unassigned.
The General fund balance increased by $497,363. Interest earnings surpassed budget
expectations, position vacancies contributed to budget savings, while transfers out funded
The Rookery Activity Center operations and comp plan updates.
The Rookery Activity Center opened to the public in May 2022. The deficit fund balance
improved from $263,755 to $5,067 in 2023 as a result of the transfer in from the General
Fund. The Rookery operating expenditures (personnel, maintenance supplies, utilities, etc.)
overshadowed revenues while membership grew. The tax levy increased $175,000 in 2024
with the goal of total revenues covering total expenditures in future years.
The G.O. Improvement Note of 2009A fund was established to service the debt issued by
Anoka County as the City’s financial commitment for the I-35E interchange project. The
City prepaid the remaining balance of the note in 2017 using MSA funds. As deferred
special assessments are received, MSA funds are replenished. The fund began and ended the
year with a fund balance of $1,353 and $0, respectively, and transferred $31,695 to the MSA
Construction Fund.
The G.O. Improvement Bonds of 2016B fund balance increased by $611,099. The 2016B
series bonds were issued to refund the 2005A series bonds and fund the Legacy at Woods
Edge improvements. The bonds matured in 2021 and future tax increment is expected to
cover the interfund loan payable.
The Capital Equipment Replacement fund balance decreased by $1,579,347 due to the
issuance of an interfund loan payable to finance two fire trucks. The interfund loan payable
will be paid back with a tax levy over the next ten years. The fund accounts for the
replacement of public safety and public works equipment and vehicles financed by a pay as
you go tax levy.
The Area and Unit Trunk fund has a total fund balance of $9,562,325, all of which is
assigned for financing water and sewer capital improvements. The fund balance during the
current year increased by $502,431 primarily due to investment earnings as trunk fees (either
collected over time through special assessments or paid up front through charges for
services) covered project costs.
26
90
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
The MSA Construction Fund has a total fund balance of $4,810,424, all of which is assigned
to capital improvements for City MSA designated roadways. The fund balance during the
current year increased by $990,971 primarily due to reimbursement received for the
developer portion of the County’s 49 & J Street Improvement Project.
The combined fund balance of other governmental funds decreased by $807,997 during 2023
primarily due to Watermark Park and Pheasant Run Reconstruction capital expenditures.
Watermark park dedication fees were collected in prior years and street reconstruction bonds
will be issued in the future for the Pheasant Run project.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information
found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.
The Water Fund has total net position at year-end of $33,713,939, of which $5,229,412 is
unrestricted. The increase in net position of $1,056,459 was primarily due to capital
contributions from governmental activities. The Area and Unit Trunk Fund is funding water
infrastructure as part of the following projects: Lake Drive Trunk Water Main, Pheasant Run
Reconstruction, and Water Treatment Plant.
The Sewer Fund has total net position at year-end of $31,533,345 of which $9,898,700 is
unrestricted. The increase in net position of $79,018 was primarily due to investment
earnings as unrestricted net position was planned to be used for the sewer portion of the
Pheasant Run Reconstruction Project.
The Storm Water Fund has total net position at year-end of $247,475 of which all is
unrestricted. A Storm Water Utility was established in 2022 to fund the operation and
management of the City’s storm water infrastructure.
Budgetary Highlights
General Fund
There were amendments to the original budget in 2023.
The expenditure and transfers out budget was decreased by $450,510 to total $11,726,906.
The decrease resulted from personnel vacancies in various departments and unused
contingency. Fire personal services came in over budget due to recognizing the pass through
of Fire State Aid ($147,297) to the PERA Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan
which was not budgeted.
The revenues and transfers in budget was increased by $162,580 to total $12,332,996. The
increase resulted from investment earnings with favorable interest and unrealized gain on
investments. Fire State Aid came in over budget due to recognizing the full amount of Fire
State Aid ($169,000) instead of only the amount not passed through ($21,703) to the PERA
Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets. The City’s investment in capital assets for its governmental and business-
type activities as of December 31, 2023, amounted to $116,119,468 (net of accumulated
depreciation), an increase of $3,055,060 from the prior year. This investment in capital
assets includes land, wetland credits, construction in progress, buildings, equipment,
vehicles, and infrastructure.
The trunk utility improvements at 49 & J, East Shadow Lake Drive Sanitary Sewer
Replacement, and I35E Storm Pipe Crossing projects were completed in 2023. The City is
working to complete the Lake Drive Trunk Water Main, Pheasant Run Reconstruction,
Watermark Park, and Water Treatment Plant projects.
Developer lead infrastructure improvements at various stages of completion include Nature’s
Refuge and Watermark 4th addition. Prior to 2023, pending developer contributions were
included in Construction in Progress. Starting in 2023, developer projects are only
recognized as infrastructure once complete.

RECONCILIATION OF THE STATEMENT OF REVENUES,Statement 6
EXPENDITURES AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE OF
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
For The Year Ended December 31, 2023
Net change in fund balance - total governmental funds (Statement 5) $471,855
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement
of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense:
Capital outlay 5,721,645
Capital outlay not capitalized (29,750)
Depreciation (3,699,929)
Various other transactions involving capital assets increase (decrease) net position on
the Statement of Activities, but are not reported in governmental funds because they
do not provide (or use) current financial resources:
Contributions of infrastructure from private sources 2,343,433
Contributions of infrastructure to business-type activities (1,605,694)
Miscellaneous other differences related to capital assets (1,254)
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds:
Change in delinquent taxes receivable 2,853
Change in delinquent special assessments receivable 10,533
Change in deferred special assessments receivable (793,053)
The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
while repayment of the principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources.
Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds
report the effects of bond premiums and discounts when the debt is first issued, whereas
amounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt in the Statement of Activities.
Repayment of principal 2,439,885
Amortization of bond premiums and discounts 74,710
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental
funds. Expenses reported in the Statement of Activities include the effects of the
changes in these expense accruals as follows:
Change in accrued interest payable 30,131
Change in compensated absences payable (24,452)
Change in OPEB liability and related deferred outflows and inflows of resources 27,393
Pension expense in governmental funds is measured by current year employer contributions.
Pension expense in the Statement of Activities is measured by the change in the net pension
liability and related deferred inflows and outflows of resources. This is the amount by which
pension expense differed from pension contributions.(715,575)
Change in net position of governmental activities (Statement 2)$4,252,731

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota (the City) is a public corporation formed under Minnesota Statute 410. As such, the City is under
home rule charter regulations and applicable statutory guidelines.
The basic financial statements of the City have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as
applied to governmental units by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies:
A. FINANCIAL REPORTING ENTITY
In accordance with GASB pronouncements and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
financial statements of the reporting entity include those of the City (the primary government) and its component units. The
component units discussed below are included in the City’s reporting entity as blended component units because of the
significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
COMPONENT UNITS
The Economic Development Authority (EDA) of Lino Lakes is an entity legally separate from the City. However, for
financial reporting purposes, the EDA is reported as if it were a part of the City’s operation because the governing body is
substantially the same as the governing body of the City and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists between the City
and the EDA. The EDA does not issue separate financial statements.
The Housing and Development Authority (HRA) of Lino Lakes is an entity legally separate from the City. However, for
financial reporting purposes, the HRA is reported as if it were part of the City’s operations because the members of the City
Council serve as commission members and a financial benefit or burden relationship exists between the City and the HRA.
The HRA has not yet incurred any financial activity.
B. GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report
information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units. Governmental
activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type
activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or business-type activity
are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or business-
type activity. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from
goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or business-type activity and 2) grants and contributions that are
restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or business-type activity. Taxes and
other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
The fund financial statements are provided for governmental and proprietary funds. The emphasis of governmental and
proprietary fund financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, with each displayed as
separate columns in the fund financial statements. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and
reported as nonmajor funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associated with the
principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal
values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or
incidental activities.

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general government,
except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Rookery Activity Center accounts for the activities relating to The Rookery Activity Center.
General Obligation Improvement Note of 2009A Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of, interest, principal and related costs on general long-term debt. The note was used to finance improvement projects at
the I-35E and County Road 14 interchange.
General Obligation Improvement Bonds of 2016B Fund accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment
of, interest, principal and related costs on general long-term debt. The bonds were used to fund the Legacy at Woods
Edge improvements.
Capital Equipment Replacement Fund accounts for pay-as-you-go capital equipment financing and financing of capital
equipment through donations.
Area and Unit Trunk Fund accounts for the collection of water and sewer unit charges to be used for debt payments and
construction of governmental infrastructure.
MSA Construction Fund accounts for the financing of future reconstruction of state aid eligible streets.
The City reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Water Fund accounts for customer water service charges which are used to finance water system operating
expenses.
The Sewer Fund accounts for customer sewer service charges which are used to finance sanitary sewer system operating
expenses.
The Storm Water Fund accounts for customer storm water charges which are used to finance storm water system
operating expenses.
C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as
revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues
are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities
of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers all revenues, except reimbursement grants, to be available if they
are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Reimbursement grants are considered available if they are
collected within one year of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is
incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated
absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes, special assessments, intergovernmental revenues, charges for services and interest associated with the current
fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal
period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible
48
112
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when
cash is received by the City.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are transactions that would be treated as revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved
external organizations, such as buying goods and services or payments in lieu of taxes, are similarly treated when they
involve other funds of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported
for the various functions concerned.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the water, sewer and storm water enterprise funds are charges to
customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are
reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
D. BUDGETS
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund and The Rookery Activity Center special revenue fund.
Budgeted expenditure appropriations lapse at year-end. Budgeted amounts are reported as originally adopted and as amended
by the City Council.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are
recorded in order to reserve that portion of the appropriation, is not employed by the City because it is at present not
considered necessary to assure effective budgetary control or to facilitate effective cash management.
E. LEGAL COMPLIANCE – BUDGETS
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements:
1. The City Administrator submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget (including the General Fund and
The Rookery Activity Center Fund) for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
3. The budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution on a departmental basis and can be expended by each
department based upon detailed budget estimates for individual expenditure accounts.
4. The City Administrator is authorized to transfer appropriations within any department budget. Additional
interdepartmental or interfund appropriations and deletions are or may be authorized by the City Council with fund
(contingency) reserves or additional revenues.
5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund and
The Rookery Activity Center Fund.
6. Legal debt obligation indentures determine the appropriation level and debt service tax levies for the Debt Service
Funds. Supplementary budgets are adopted for the Proprietary Funds to determine and calculate user charges.
These debt service and budget amounts represent general obligation bond indenture provisions and net income for
operation and capital maintenance and are not reflected in the financial statements.
49
113
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
7. A capital improvement program is reviewed annually by the City Council for the Capital Project Funds. However,
appropriations for major projects are not adopted until the actual bid award of the improvement. The appropriations
are not reflected in the financial statements.
8. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriations at the department level unless approved by the City
Council. Therefore, the legal level of budgetary control is at the department level (i.e. administration, community
development, public safety, public services, and other).
9. The City Council may authorize transfers of budgeted amounts between City funds.
F. CASH AND INVESTMENTS
Cash and investment balances from all funds are pooled and invested to the extent available in authorized investments.
Investment income is allocated to individual funds on the basis of the fund's equity in the cash and investment pool.
Investments are stated at fair value, except for investments in external investment pools that meet GASB 79 requirements,
which are stated at amortized cost. Interest earnings are accrued at year-end.
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the proprietary funds consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. All of the cash and investments allocated to the proprietary fund
types have original maturities of 90 days or less. Therefore, the entire balance in such fund types is considered cash
equivalents.
Permanently restricted cash and investments represents the principal and earnings portion of resources received that must be
retained in a permanent fund. Only earnings from these funds may be used for purposes that support environmental
maintenance and improvements.
G. PROPERTY TAX REVENUE RECOGNITION
The City Council annually adopts a tax levy and certifies it to the County in December (levy/assessment date) of each year
for collection in the following year. The County is responsible for billing and collecting all property taxes for itself, the City,
the local School District and other taxing authorities. Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables
by the City at that date. Real property taxes are payable (by property owners) on May 15 and October 15 of each calendar
year. Personal property taxes are payable by taxpayers on February 28 and June 30 of each year. These taxes are collected
by the County and remitted to the City on or before July 15 and December 15 of the same year. Delinquent collections for
November and December are received the following January. The City has no ability to enforce payment of property taxes
by property owners. The County possesses this authority.
Within the government-wide financial statements, the City recognizes property tax revenue in the period for which taxes
were levied. Uncollectible property taxes are not material and have not been reported.
Within the governmental fund financial statements, the City recognizes property tax revenue when it becomes both
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. In practice, current and delinquent taxes received by
the City in July, December, and the following January are recognized as revenue for the current year. Taxes collected by the
county by December 31 (remitted to the City the following January) are classified as due from county. Taxes not collected
by the county by December 31 are classified as delinquent taxes receivable. Delinquent taxes receivable are fully offset by
deferred inflows of resources because they are not available to finance current expenditures.
The City's property tax revenue includes payments from the Metropolitan Revenue Distribution (Fiscal Disparities Formula)
per State Statute 473F. This statute provides a means of spreading a portion of the taxable valuation of commercial/industrial
real property to various taxing authorities within the defined metropolitan area. The valuation "shared" is a portion of
commercial/industrial property valuation growth since 1971.
50
114
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
H. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT REVENUE RECOGNITION
Special assessments are levied against benefited properties for the cost or a portion of the cost of special assessment
improvement projects in accordance with state statutes. These assessments are collectible by the City over a term of years
usually consistent with the term of the related bond issue. Collection of annual installments (including interest) is handled by
the County Auditor in the same manner as property taxes. Property owners are allowed to (and often do) prepay future
installments without interest or prepayment penalties.
Once a special assessment roll is adopted, the amount attributed to each parcel is a lien upon that property until full payment
is made or the amount is determined to be excessive by the City Council or court action. If special assessments are allowed
to go delinquent, the property is subject to tax forfeit sale and the first proceeds of that sale (after costs, penalties and
expenses of sale) are remitted to the City in payment of delinquent special assessments. Generally, the City will collect the
full amount of its special assessments not adjusted by City Council or court action. Pursuant to state statutes, a property shall
be subject to a tax forfeit sale after three years unless it is homesteaded, agricultural or seasonal recreational land in which
event the property is subject to such sale after five years.
Within the government-wide financial statements, the City recognizes special assessment revenue in the period that the
assessment roll was adopted by the City Council. Uncollectible special assessments are not material and have not been
reported.
Within the fund financial statements, the revenue from special assessments is recognized by the City when it becomes
measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current fiscal period. In practice, current and delinquent special
assessments received by the City are recognized as revenue for the current year. Special assessments are collected by the
County and remitted by December 31 (remitted to the City the following January) and are also recognized as revenue for the
current year. All remaining delinquent, deferred and special deferred assessments receivable in governmental funds are
completely offset by deferred inflows of resources.
I. INVENTORY
For governmental funds, the original cost of materials and supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase.
These funds do not maintain material amounts of inventories.
Inventories of the proprietary funds are stated at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
J. PREPAID ITEMS
Certain prepayments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both
government-wide and fund financial statements. Prepaid items are reported using the consumption method and recorded as
expenditures/expenses at the time of consumption.
K. LEASES RECEIVABLE
Leases receivable are measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be received during the lease terms.
A deferred inflow of resources is recorded for the lease at the commencement of the lease in an amount equal to the initial
recording of the lease receivable and is recognized as revenue over the lease term.

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
L. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services
rendered. Interfund services provided and used are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. Transactions that
constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures / expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another
fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses in the fund
that is reimbursed.
The City provides temporary advances to funds that have insufficient cash balances by means of an advance from another
fund. Such advances are classified as “advances to/from other funds.” Long-term interfund loans are classified as “interfund
loan receivable/payable.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities
are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” All other interfund transactions are reported
as transfers.
M. CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g. roads, sidewalks, drainage systems,
water and sewer systems, and similar items) are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns
in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as assets with an estimated useful life in
excess of one year, which have an individual value equal to or greater than the capitalization thresholds for each asset class as
follows:
Land $10,000
Buildings and building improvements $50,000
Improvements other than buildings (land improvements) $25,000
Machinery and equipment $10,000
Infrastructure and other improvements $100,000
Other assets $10,000
Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are
recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. All existing City infrastructure has been capitalized regardless of date
placed in service.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not
capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Depreciation on exhaustible assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the Statement of Activities with accumulated
depreciation reflected in the Statement of Net Position. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over
their estimated useful lives. Since surplus assets are sold for an immaterial amount when declared as no longer needed for
City purposes, no salvage value is taken into consideration for depreciation purposes. Useful lives vary from 5 to 40 years
for buildings, office furniture and equipment, vehicles, machine shop and equipment and other assets, and 15 to 50 years for
infrastructure and other improvements.
N. COMPENSATED ABSENCES
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation, PTO (Personal Time Off), extended
leave and sick pay benefits. All vacation pay and PTO and the portion of sick pay allowable as severance is accrued in the
government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. The current portion is calculated based on historical trends.
52

CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
O. LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS
In the government-wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and
other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over the life of the related
debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period.
The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as
other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses.
P. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) and additions to and
deductions from PERA’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by PERA,
except that PERA’s fiscal year end is June 30. For this purpose, plan contributions are recognized as of employer payroll
paid dates and benefit payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Investments are reported at fair value.
Q. DEFERRED OUTFLOWS AND INFLOWS OF RESOURCES
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element represents a consumption of net assets that applies to future periods and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time. The City has two items that qualify for reporting in this
category. Pension related deferred outflows of resources are reported in the government-wide statement of net position and
the proprietary funds statement of net position. OPEB related deferred outflows of resources are only reported in the
governmental activities column of the government-wide statement of net position as amounts applicable to business-type
activities are immaterial.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position reports a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This
separate financial statement element represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to future periods, and therefore, will
not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Lease related deferred inflows of resources are reported
in the government-wide statement of net position and the governmental funds balance sheet. Pension related deferred inflows
of resources are reported in the government-wide statement of net position and the proprietary funds statement of net
position. OPEB related deferred inflows of resources are only reported in the governmental activities column of the
government-wide statement of net position as amounts applicable to business-type activities are immaterial. The City also
has a type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this
category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The
governmental funds report unavailable revenue from the following sources: property taxes and special assessments not
collected within 60 days from year-end.
R. FUND BALANCE CLASSIFICATIONS
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund balance in classifications that disclose constraints for which
amounts in those funds can be spent. These classifications are as follows:
Nonspendable - consists of amounts that are not in spendable form, such as prepaid items and corpus of any permanent
fund.
Restricted - consists of amounts related to externally imposed constraints established by creditors, grantors or
contributors; or constraints imposed by state statutory provisions.
53
117
CITY OF LINO LAKES, MINNESOTA
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
Committed - consists of internally imposed constraints. These constraints are established by a resolution approved by the
City Council, and committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the City Council removes or changes
the specified use by resolution.
Assigned - consists of internally imposed constraints for the specific purpose of the City’s intended use. These
constraints are established by the City Council and/or management. The City Council passed a resolution authorizing
the Finance Director to assign fund balances and their intended uses.
Unassigned - is the residual classification for the general fund. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive
unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceed the
amounts that are restricted, committed or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned
fund balance in that fund.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to first use restricted resources,
and then use unrestricted resources as they are needed. When committed, assigned or unassigned resources are available for
use, it is the City’s policy to use resources in the following order: 1) committed 2) assigned and 3) unassigned.
The City formally adopted a fund balance policy for the General Fund. The policy establishes an unassigned fund balance
range of 40% - 50% of general fund operating expenditures.
S. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires
management to make estimates that affect amounts reported in the financial statements during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from such estimates.
Note 2 DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A. DEPOSITS
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at those depository banks authorized by the City Council.
All such banks are members of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota Statutes require that insurance, surety bonds or collateral protect all City deposits. The market value of collateral
pledged must equal 110% of deposits not covered by insurance or bonds. Securities pledged as collateral are required to be
held in safekeeping by the City or in a financial institution other than that furnishing the collateral. Minnesota Statue
118A.03 identifies allowable forms of collateral.
Custodial Credit Risk – the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City’s deposits may not be returned to it. The City has
no additional deposit policies addressing custodial credit risk.
At December 31, 2023, the bank balance of the City’s deposits with financial institutions was $11,507,836 and the carrying
amount was $9,607,050. All deposits were covered by federal depository insurance or by collateral pledge and held in the
City’s name.
B. INVESTMENTS
Subject to rating, yield, maturity and issuer requirements as prescribed by statute, Minnesota Statutes 118A.04 and 118A.05
authorize the City to invest in United States securities, state and local securities, commercial paper, time deposits, temporary
general obligation bonds, repurchase agreements, Minnesota joint powers investment trusts and guaranteed investment
contracts.

Investment Maturities (in Years)
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting
principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. The hierarchy has three
levels. Level 1 investments are valued using inputs that are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Level 2 investments are valued using inputs that are based on quoted prices for similar assets or inputs that are observable,
either directly or indirectly. Level 3 investments are valued using inputs that are unobservable.
The City has the following recurring fair value measurements at December 31, 2023:

Fair Value Measurement Using
The 4M fund is an external investment pool investment which is regulated by Minnesota Statutes and the Board of Directors
of the League of Minnesota Cities. It is an unrated pool and the fair value of the position in the pool is the same as the value
of pool shares. The pool is managed to maintain a portfolio weighted average maturity of no greater than 60 days and seeks
to maintain a constant net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. The pool measures its investments at amortized cost in
accordance with GASB Statement No. 79. The 4M Plus fund requires funds to be deposited for a minimum of 14 calendar
days. Withdrawals prior to the 14-day restriction period are subject to penalty equal to 7 days interest on the amount
withdrawn.
The First American Government Obligation money market fund is an external investment pool. The fund seeks to maintain a
constant net asset value (NAV) of $1 per share. The securities held by the fund are valued on the basis of amortized cost.
Shares may be redeemed without penalty on any business day.

C. INVESTMENT RISKS
Custodial Credit Risk – Investments – For investments in securities, custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of
failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investment securities that
are in the possession of an outside party. Investments in investment pools and money markets are not evidenced by
securities that exist in physical or book entry form, and therefore are not subject to custodial credit risk disclosures. The
City’s investment policy requires its brokers be licensed with the appropriate federal and state agencies. A minimum
capital requirement of $5,000,000 and at least five years of operation is mandatory. Investments in securities are held by
the City’s broker-dealers. The securities at each broker-dealer are insured $500,000 through SIPC. Each broker-dealer
has provided additional protection by providing additional insurance. This insurance is subject to aggregate limits
applied to all of the broker-dealer’s accounts.
Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an
investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in
market interest rates. The City’s policy to minimize interest rate risk includes investing primarily in short-term securities
and structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations.
Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the
investment. The City’s policy to minimize credit risk includes limiting investing funds to those allowable under
Minnesota Statute 118A, annually appointing all financial institutions where investments are held, and diversifying the
investment portfolio. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss that may be attributed to the magnitude of a
government’s investment in a single issuer. The City places no limit on the amount it may invest in any one issuer. At
December 31, 2023, no individual investments exceeded 5% of the City’s total investment portfolio.

B. LEASES RECEIVABLE
The City leases a portion of its water towers for cellular tower antenna sites. These leases are non-cancelable for a period of
5 years, with two to four renewal periods of 5 years each at the lessee's option. The City considers the likelihood of these
options being exercised to be greater than 50%. The agreements call for monthly lease payments between $1,855 and
$3,570, with increases of 4% annually or 7.5% upon exercising renewal options. The lease receivables are measured at the
present value of the future minimum lease payments expected to be received during the lease term at a discount rate of 5%
which is based on the rate available to finance equipment over the same time periods.
The City leases space within its City Hall Complex to New Creations Child Care and Learning Center. The lease expires
June 30, 2029, however, effective August 1, 2024 the City has the option to terminate the lease with at least 12 months
written notice. The City considers the likelihood of cancelling the lease agreement to be less than 50%. The agreement calls
for monthly lease payments of $6,785, with annual increases of 3% through the end of the lease term. There are no renewal
options stated in the lease agreement. The lease receivable is measured at the present value of the future minimum lease
payments expected to be received during the lease term at a discount rate of 5% which is based on the rate available to
finance equipment over the same time periods.

DESCRIPTIONS OF LONG-TERM DEBT
General Obligation Bonds – the bonds were issued for improvements or projects which benefited the City as a whole and, therefore,
are repaid from ad valorem levies.
Special Assessment Bonds – the bonds were issued to finance various improvements and will be repaid primarily from special
assessments levied on the properties benefiting from the improvements. However, some issues are partly financed by ad valorem
levies.
Utility Revenue Bonds – the Bonds were issued to finance various improvements in the water fund and will be repaid primarily from
pledged revenues derived from the constructed assets.
Capital Note – the note was issued to fund the cost of the acquisition of capital equipment to be used by the North Metro
Telecommunications Commission in the operation of a cable communications system. The note will be repaid from franchise fee
revenue.

It is not practicable to determine the specific year for payment of long-term compensated absences payable. For governmental
activities, compensated absences are liquidated by the General Fund and The Rookery Activity Center Fund. For business-type
activities, compensated absences are liquidated by the Water, Sewer and Storm Water Funds.
DEFERRED AD VALOREM TAX LEVIES – BONDED DEBT
All long-term bonded indebtedness is backed by the full faith and credit of the City, including special assessment and revenue bond
issues. General Obligation bond issues are financed by ad valorem tax levies and special assessment bond issues are partially financed
by ad valorem tax levies in addition to special assessments levied against the benefiting properties. When a bond issue to be financed
partially or completely by ad valorem tax levies is sold, specific annual amounts of such tax levies are stated in the bond resolution
and the County Auditor is notified and instructed to levy these taxes over the appropriate years. The future tax levies are subject to
cancellation when and if the City has provided alternative sources of financing. The City Council is required to levy any additional
taxes found necessary for full payment of principal and interest.

covers all police officers and firefighters hired since 1980. Effective July 1, 1999, the PEPFF also covers police officers
and firefighters belonging to local relief associations that elected to merge with and transfer assets and administration to
PERA.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
PERA provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Benefit provisions are established by state statute and can only be
modified by the state legislature. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not receiving them yet
are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.
1. GERF Benefits
Benefits are based on a member’s highest average salary for any five successive years of allowable service, age, and
years of credit at termination of service. Two methods are used to compute benefits for PERA’s Coordinated members.
Members hired prior to July 1, 1989 receive the higher of Method 1 or Method 2 formulas. Only Method 2 is used for
members hired after June 30, 1989. Under Method 1, the accrual rate for Coordinated members is 1.2% for each of the
first ten years of service and 1.7% for each additional year. Under Method 2, the accrual rate for Coordinated Plan
members is 1.7% for all years of service. For members hired prior to July 1, 1989 a full annuity is available when age
plus years of service equal 90 and normal retirement age is 65. For members hired on or after July 1, 1989, normal
retirement age is the age for unreduced Social Security benefits capped at 66.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is equal to 50% of the
cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA, with a minimum increase of at least 1% and a maximum of
1.5%. Recipients that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least a full year as of the June 30 before the
effective date of the increase will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least one
month but less than a full year as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated
increase. In 2023, legislation repealed the statute delaying increases for members retiring before full retirement age.
2. PEPFF Benefits
Benefits for the PEPFF members first hired after June 30, 2010 but before July 1, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from
50% after five years up to 100% after ten years of credited service. Benefits for PEPFF members first hired after June
30, 2014 vest on a prorated basis from 50% after ten years up to 100% after twenty years of credited service. The
annuity accrual rate is 3% of average salary for each year of service. For PEPFF members who were first hired prior to
July 1, 1989, a full annuity is available when age plus years of service equal at least 90.
Benefit increases are provided to benefit recipients each January. The postretirement increase is fixed at 1%. Recipients
that have been receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the
increase will receive the full increase. For recipients receiving the annuity or benefit for at least 25 months but less than
36 months as of the June 30 before the effective date of the increase will receive a reduced prorated increase.

D. PENSION COSTS
1. GERF Pension Costs
At December 31, 2023, the City reported a liability of $2,823,903 for its proportionate share of GERF’s net pension
liability. The City’s net pension liability reflected a reduction due to the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $16
million. The State of Minnesota is considered a non-employer contributing entity and the state’s contribution meets the
definition of a special funding situation. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
associated with the City totaled $77,857.
The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2023, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net
pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City’s proportion of the net pension
liability was based on the City’s contributions received by PERA during the measurement period for employer payroll
paid dates from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023, relative to the total employer contributions received from all of
PERA’s participating employers. The City’s proportionate share was 0.0505% at the end of the measurement period and
0.0428% for the beginning of the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
The State of Minnesota contributed $18 million to PEPFF during the plan fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The
contribution consisted of $9 million in direct state aid that meets the definition of a special funding situation and $9
million in supplemental state aid that does not meet the definition of a special funding situation. The $9 million direct
state aid was paid on October 1, 2022. Thereafter, by October 1 of each year, the state will pay $9 million to the PEPFF
until full funding is reached or July 1, 2048, whichever is earlier. The $9 million in supplemental state aid will continue
until the fund is 90% funded, or until the State Patrol Plan (administered by the Minnesota State Retirement System) is
90% funded, whichever occurs later. The State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net pension liability associated
with the City totaled $160,211.
City's proportionate share of the net pension liability $3,976,982
State of Minnesota’s proportionate share of the net
pension liability associated with the City 160,211
Total $4,137,193
The State of Minnesota is included as a non-employer contributing entity in the PEPFF Schedule of Employer
Allocations and Schedule of Pension Amounts by Employer, Current Reporting Period Only (pension allocation
schedules) for the $9 million in direct state aid. PEPFF employers need to recognize their proportionate share of the
State of Minnesota’s pension expense (and grant revenue) under GASB 68 special funding situation accounting and
financial reporting requirements. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the City recognized pension expense of
$1,032,343 for its proportionate share of the Police and Fire Plan’s pension expense. The City recognized an additional
($9,649) as pension expense (and grant revenue) for its proportionate share of the State of Minnesota’s contribution of $9
million to the PEPFF.
The State of Minnesota is not included as a non-employer contributing entity in the Police and Fire Pension Plan pension
allocation schedules for the $9 million in supplemental state aid. The City recognized $20,727 for the year ended

E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS
The total pension liability in the June 30, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using an individual entry-age normal
actuarial cost method and the following actuarial assumptions:
Inflation 2.25% per year
Investment Rate of Return 7.00%
The long-term investment rate of return is based on a review of inflation and investment return assumptions from a number of
national investment consulting firms. The review provided a range of investment return rates deemed to be reasonable by the
actuary. An investment return of 7.00% was deemed to be within that range of reasonableness for financial reporting
purposes.
Benefit increases after retirement are assumed to be 1.25% for the GERF and 1.00% for the PEPFF.
Salary growth assumptions in the GERF range in annual increments from 10.25% after one year of service to 3.0% after 27
years of service. In the PEPFF, salary growth assumptions range from 11.75% after one year of service to 3.0% after 24
years of service.
Mortality rates for GERF were based on the Pub-2010 General Employee Mortality Table. Mortality rates for PEPFF were
based on the Pub-2010 Public Safety Employee Mortality tables. The tables are adjusted slightly to fit PERA’s experience.
Actuarial assumptions for GERF are reviewed every four years. The most recent four-year experience study for GERF was
completed in 2022. The assumption changes were adopted by the Board and become effective with the July 1, 2023 actuarial
valuation. The most recent four-year experience study for PEPFF was completed in 2020 and adopted by the Board and
became effective with the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuation.
The following changes in actuarial assumptions and plan provisions occurred in 2023:
General Employees Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The investment return assumption and single discount rate were changed from 6.50% to 7.00%.

The vesting period of those hired after June 30, 2010, was changed from five years of allowable service to three years of
allowable service.
The benefit increase delay for early retirements on or after January 1, 2024, was eliminated.
A one-time, non-compounding benefit increase of 2.50% minus the actual 2024 adjustment will be payable in a lump
sum for calendar year 2024 by March 31, 2024.
Police and Fire Fund
Changes in Actuarial Assumptions:
The investment return assumption was changed from 6.50% to 7.00%.
The single discount rate changed from 5.40% to 7.00%.
.
Changes in Plan Provisions:
An additional one-time direct state aid contribution of $19.4 million was contributed to the Plan on October 1, 2023.
Vesting requirement for new hires after June 30, 2014, was changed from a graded 20-year vesting schedule to a graded
10-year vesting schedule, with 50% vesting after five years, increasing incrementally to 100% after 10 years.
A one-time, non-compounding benefit increase of 3.00% will be payable in a lump sum for calendar year 2024 by March
31, 2024.
Psychological treatment is required effective July 1, 2023, prior to approval for a duty disability benefit for a
psychological condition relating to the member’s occupation.
The total and permanent duty disability benefit was increased, effective July 1, 2023.
The State Board of Investment, which manages the investments of PERA, prepares an analysis of the reasonableness on a
regular basis of the long-term expected rate of return using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of
expected future rates of return are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce an expected
long-term rate of return by weighting the expected future rates of return by the target asset allocation percentages. The target
allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are summarized in the following
table:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic equity 33.5% 5.10%
International equity 16.5% 5.30%
Fixed income 25.0% 0.75%
Private markets 25.0% 5.90%
Totals 100%
F. DISCOUNT RATE
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability in 2023 was 7.00%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members and employers will be made at rates set in
Minnesota Statutes. Based on these assumptions, the fiduciary net position of the GERF and PEPFF were projected to be
available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension
liability.

A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department – Fire Division participates in the Statewide Volunteer Firefighter Retirement Plan
(accounted for in the Volunteer Firefighter Fund), an agent multiple-employer lump-sum defined benefit pension plan
administered by the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota (PERA). The Volunteer Firefighter Plan covers
volunteer firefighters of municipal fire departments or independent nonprofit firefighting corporations that have elected to
join the plan. As of December 31, 2022 (measurement date), the plan covered 19 active firefighters and two vested
terminated fire fighters whose pension benefits are deferred. The plan is established and administered in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 353G.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan provides retirement, death, and supplemental benefits to covered firefighters and survivors.
Benefits are paid based on the number of years of service multiplied by a benefit level approved by the City. Members are
eligible for a lump-sum retirement benefit at 50 years of age with five years of service. Plan provisions include a pro-rated
vesting schedule that increases from 5 years at 40% through 20 years at 100%.

C. CONTRIBUTIONS
The Volunteer Firefighter Plan is funded by fire state aid, investment earnings and, if necessary, employer contributions as
specified in Minnesota Statutes, and voluntary City contributions. The State of Minnesota contributed $147,297 in fire state
aid to the plan for the year ended December 31, 2023. Required employer contributions are calculated annually based on
statutory provisions. The City’s statutorily-required contributions to the Volunteer Firefighter Fund for the year ended
December 31, 2023 were $0. The City’s contributions were equal to the required contributions as set by state statute, if
applicable.
D. PENSION COSTS
The total pension liability used to calculate the net pension asset in accordance with GASB 68 was determined by PERA
applying an actuarial formula to specific census data certified by the fire department. The net pension asset was measured as
of December 31, 2022. Previously, the City’s fiscal year-end and the measurement date were the same. However, current
year Plan information from PERA is not available. The effect of re-reporting Plan information is not considered material to

H. PLAN INVESTMENTS
1. Investment Policy
The Minnesota State Board of Investment (SBI) is established by Article XI of the Minnesota Constitution to invest all
state funds. Its membership as specified in the Constitution is comprised of the governor (who is designated as chair of
the board), state auditor, secretary of state and state attorney general.
All investments undertaken by the SBI are governed by the prudent person rule and other standards codified in
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 11A and Chapter 353G.
Within the requirements defined by state law, the SBI, with assistance of the SBI staff and the Investment Advisory
Council, establishes investment policy for all funds under its control. These investment policies are tailored to the
particular needs of each fund and specify investment objectives, risk tolerance, asset allocation, investment management
structure and specific performance standards. Studies guide the on-going management of the funds and are updated
periodically.
2. Asset Allocation
To match the long-term nature of the pension obligations, the SBI maintains a strategic asset allocation for the Volunteer
Firefighter Plan that includes allocations to domestic equity, international equity, bonds and cash equivalents. The long-
term target asset allocation and long-term expected real rate of return is the following:
Target Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return
Domestic Stocks 35% 5.10%
International Stocks 15% 5.30%
Bonds 45% 0.75%
Cash 5% 0.00%
100%
The 6% long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method.
Best estimates for expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of inflation) were developed for each asset
class using both long-term historical returns and long-term capital market expectations from a number of investment
management and consulting organizations. The asset class estimates and the target allocations were then combined to
produce a geometric, long-term expected real rate of return for the portfolio. Inflation expectations were applied to
derive the nominal rate of return for the portfolio.
3. Description of Significant Investment Policy Changes During the Year
The SBI made no significant changes to their investment policy during fiscal year 2022 for the Volunteer Firefighter
Fund.

Note 9 POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS (OPEB)
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
In addition to providing the pension benefits described in Notes 7 and 8, the City provides post-employment health care
benefits, as defined in paragraph B, through its group health insurance plan (the plan). The plan is a single-employer defined
benefit OPEB plan administered by the City. The authority to provide these benefits is established in Minnesota Statutes
Sections 471.61 Subd. 2a and 299A.465. The benefits, benefit levels, employee contributions and employer contributions are
governed by the City and can be amended by the City through its personnel manual and collective bargaining agreements
with employee groups. No assets are accumulated in a trust that meets the criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75.
The plan does not issue a stand-alone financial report.
B. BENEFITS PROVIDED
The City is required by State Statute to allow retirees to continue participation in the City’s group health insurance plan if the
individual terminates service with the City through service retirement or disability retirement. Active employees, who retire
from the City when over age 50 and with 20 years of service, may continue coverage with respect to both themselves and
their eligible dependent(s) under the City’s health benefits program until age 65.
The City provides health coverage for peace officers or firefighters disabled or killed in the line of duty in accordance with
Minnesota Statute 299A.465. The amount of coverage provided is equal to the employer portion of health insurance
premiums that would have otherwise been paid if the officer or firefighter was an active employee.
All health care coverage is provided through the City’s group health insurance plans. The retiree is required to pay 100% of
their premium cost for the City-sponsored group health insurance plan in which they participate. The premium is a blended
rate determined on the entire active and retiree population. Since the projected claims costs for retirees exceed the blended
premium paid by retirees, the retirees are receiving an implicit rate subsidy (benefit). The coverage levels are the same as
those afforded to active employees. Upon a retiree reaching age 65, Medicare becomes the primary insurer and the City’s
plan becomes secondary.
C. PARTICIPANTS

The OPEB liability will be liquidated by the general, rookery activity center, water, sewer, and storm water funds. The
current portion of the OPEB liability is not material to the financial statements.
E. ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS AND OTHER INPUTS
The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2023 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions
and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Inflation 3.00%
Salary increases 3.00%
Discount rate 4.00%
Investment rate of return N/A
Healthcare cost trend rates 6.25% for 2023, decreasing 0.25% per year
to an ultimate rate of 5% for 2028 and beyond
Retirees' share of benefit-related costs 100%
Since the plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, both the discount rate and the investment rate of return was based on the
20-year AA rated municipal bond rate as of December 31, 2023, obtained from
https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/fixed-income/sp-municipal-bond-20-year-high-grade-rate-index/#overview.
Pre-retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Total Dataset Mortality with Improvement Scale MP-2021. Post-
retirement, disability retirement, and survivor retirement mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 White Collar Mortality
with Improvement Scale MP-2021.
Based on past experience of the plan, 50% of future retirees are assumed to continue medical coverage until age 65. 15% of
future pre-Medicare retirees are assumed to select spousal coverage. No spousal coverage is assumed for other future retirees.
43% of police/fire employees are assumed to retire before the age of 60, 25% at age 60, and the balance at age 65. 5% of other
City employees are assumed to retire before the age of 60, 8% at age 60, and the balance at age 65.

Note 14 TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS
The City is the administrating authority for three tax increment districts. The City’s tax increment districts are subject to review by
the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor (OSA). Any disallowed claims or misuse of tax increments could become a
liability of the applicable fund. Management has indicated that they are not aware of any instances of noncompliance which could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
The following table reflects values at December 31, 2023:
TIF 1-11 TIF 1-12
Woods Clearwater TIF 1-13
Edge Creek Lyngblomsten
Authorizing law M.S. 469 M.S. 469 M.S. 469
Year established 2005 2017 2019
Final year of district 2031 2026 2030
Net tax capacity:
Original $16,057 $21,416 $14,184
Current 525,719 760,670 394,123
Captured - retained $509,662 $739,254 $379,939
The City provides tax abatements pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 469.174 to 469.1794 (Tax Increment Financing) through a pay-as-
you-go note program. Tax increment financing (TIF) can be used to encourage private development, redevelopment, renovation and
renewal, growth in low to moderate income housing, and economic development within the City. TIF captures the increase in tax
capacity and property taxes from development or redevelopment to provide funding for the related project.
TIF District 1-12 has an outstanding pay-as-you-go revenue note. Tax Increment Revenue Note Series 2017 was issued in the
principal sum of $1,200,000. The note is not a general obligation of the City and is payable solely from available tax increments.
Accordingly, the note is not reflected in the financial statements of the City. Principal payments are due August 1st and February 1st
and are equal to 80% of the Tax Increment revenues collected in the preceding six months. Current year payments on the note totaled
$203,208 and the outstanding balance at December 31, 2023 was $94,040.
Note 15 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
A. LITIGATION
Existing and pending lawsuits, claims and other actions in which the City is a defendant are either covered by insurance, of
an immaterial amount, or, in the judgment of the City’s management, remotely recoverable by plaintiffs.
B. FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS
The City receives financial assistance from federal and state governmental agencies in the form of grants. The disbursement
of funds received under these programs generally requires compliance with the terms and conditions specified in the grant
agreements and is subject to audit by the grantor agencies. Any disallowed claims resulting from such audits could become a
liability of the applicable fund. However, in the opinion of management, any such disallowed claims will not have a material
effect on any of the financial statements of the individual fund types included herein or on the overall financial position of the
City at December 31, 2023.

Note 16 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, injuries
to employees and natural disasters.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust (LMCIT). The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed
necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures through Workers Compensation Reinsurance Association (WCRA) as required by
law. For workers compensation, the City is not subject to a deductible. The City’s workers compensation coverage is retrospectively
rated. With this type of coverage, final premiums are determined after loss experience is known. The amount of premium adjustment,
if any, is considered immaterial and not recorded until received or paid.
Property and casualty insurance is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the LMCIT. The City pays an annual
premium to the LMCIT. The City is subject to supplemental assessments if deemed necessary by the LMCIT. The LMCIT reinsures
through commercial companies for claims in excess of various amounts. The City retains risk for the deductible portion of the
insurance policies and for any exclusions from the insurance policies. These amounts are considered immaterial to the financial
statements.
The City continues to carry commercial insurance for all other risks of loss, including disability and employee health insurance.
There were no significant reductions in insurance from the previous year or settlements in excess of insurance coverage for any of the
past three fiscal years.
Note 17 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

*For debt repaid with property taxes, the percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed
property values. Applicable percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable
assessed value that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable assessed value.
Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of the City. This schedule
estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments that is borne by the residents and businesses
of the City. This process recognizes that, when considering the City's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt
burden borne by the residents and businesses should be taken into account. However, this does not imply that every taxpayer
is a resident, and therefore responsible for repaying the debt, of each overlapping government.

COMMUNICATION WITH THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino
Lakes, Minnesota (the City) for the year ended December 31, 2023. Professional standards
require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted
auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to
the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our letter
to you dated January 22, 2024. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you
the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements. Effective January 1, 2023, the City implemented Governmental Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements,
but it had no effect on the financial statements or note disclosures. The application of existing
policies was not changed in 2023. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the
year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions
have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because
of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ significantly from those expected.
The most sensitive estimates affecting the City’s financial statements are the estimated present
value of the lease receivable, and estimates used to calculate the net pension liability, the pension
related deferred outflows and inflows of resources, and pension expense. These estimates are
based on the City’s estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease inception and actuarial studies.
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates in determining that
they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
223
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
Communication With Those Charged With Governance
Page 2
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. Determining sensitivity is subjective, however, we believe the
disclosures most likely to be considered sensitive are Note 6 – Long-Term Debt and Note 10A –
Deficit Fund Balances.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the
appropriate level of management. There were no corrected or uncorrected misstatements
identified during the audit.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting
or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the
financial statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements
arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated May 28, 2024.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a
consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a
determination of the type of auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our
professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the
consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with
other accountants.

Communication With Those Charged With Governance

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the City’s auditors.
However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and
our responses were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the management’s discussion and analysis, the
budgetary comparison information, and the schedules of OPEB and pension information, which
are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements.
Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the
basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements
and schedules, which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this
supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form,
content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of
preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory or statistical sections, which accompany the
financial statements but are not RSI. Such information has not been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not
express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the information and use of the City Council and
management of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota and is not intended to be, and should not be,
used by anyone other than these specified parties.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated May 28, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City of
Lino Lakes, Minnesota's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis
for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of
expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City of Lino Lakes,
Minnesota's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not
allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will
not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a
material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
226
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during
our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be
material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist
that were not identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s
financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial
statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of
our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

MINNESOTA LEGAL COMPLIANCE REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s basic financial statements, and
have issued our report thereon dated May 28, 2024.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the
City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota failed to comply with the provisions of the contracting – bid
laws, depositories of public funds and public investments, conflicts of interest, public
indebtedness, claims and disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment
financing sections of the Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Cities, promulgated
by the State Auditor pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 6.65, insofar as they relate to
accounting matters. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining
knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures,
other matters may have come to our attention regarding the City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota’s
noncompliance with the above referenced provisions, insofar as they relate to accounting
matters.
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, this
communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

of this Agreement from the insurance to be procured by the 3M Open Fund.

agents in carrying out the terms of this Agreement, whether those acts or
omissions occur within or outside of the jurisdiction or geographic limits of the City of Blaine, and the results thereof to the extent authorized by law and shall not be responsible for the acts and/or omissions of the other

entered into this Agreement.

insurance coverage, covering its own personnel while they are providing

preference to the other Party. If there is no common name on each Party’s list,

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: June 10, 2024
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 24-82, Concurring with County State Aid
Highway Designation of Apollo Drive
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to concur with Anoka County’s proposed
designation of Apollo Drive, from Lilac to Lake Drive, as a County State Aid Highway.
BACKGROUND
The City of Lino Lakes constructed Apollo Drive from Sunset Avenue to Lake Drive in the mid
1990’s as part of a Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County. Upon completion of the
improvements the road was transferred to the County. The section of road from Lilac to Lake
Drive is currently designated as a County Road. The balance of the roadway is a County State
Aid Highway (CSAH).
Anoka County is proposing to convert the county road section to CSAH. This would create a
uniform designation of Apollo (109th in Blaine) and provide additional funding options for Anoka
County. The designation does not change the function of the road and/or have any impacts to
the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 24-82.

bordered by CSAH 12, and the segment is therefore appropriate for conversion as part of the
County State Aid Highway system;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Lino Lakes, Minnesota that the
designation of Apollo Drive between Lilac Street and County State Aid Highway 23 (Lake Drive)
as County State Aid Highway is in all things approved.

BACKGROUND
The applicants, Lloyd & Linda Drilling, are proposing to adjust the lot line between 7185 Mound
Trail and 7193 Mound Trail. No new lots are being created.
The Land Use Application is for the following:
• Preliminary Plat
• Final Plat
This staff report is based on the following information:

• Certificate of Survey with Resource Inventory Map prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc.
dated March 21, 2024
• Preliminary Plat prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 21, 2024
• Final Plat prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated March 21, 2024
BACKGROUND
Existing Site Conditions
The Drillings own and reside in the house located at 7185 Mound Trail. In June 2023, they
purchased the adjacent lot located at 7193 Mound Trail. The Drillings wish to adjust the lot line
between the two (2) lots to the northeast to increase and protect the view of the lake for 7185
Mound Trail.
Portions of both lots are in the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville. Each lot has two (2)
PID#’s. Typically, a lot line adjustment is done by minor subdivision and reviewed at a staff
level. Due to the unique situation of both lots being in two (2) cities with multiple PID#’s and to
avoid long complicated metes and bounds legal descriptions for required easements, etc., the
lot line adjustment will be processed as a preliminary plat and final plat. The preliminary plat
and final plat will be reviewed concurrently.
This staff report is based on the City of Lino Lakes zoning, shoreland, and subdivision ordinance
requirements. The City of Centerville is processing the lot line adjustment under their
ordinance requirements.

The trees planned for removal are in the Basic Use Area and will not require mitigation trees to
be planted. An ash tree planned for removal is outside of the Basic Use Area but will not
require mitigation due to the prevalence of Emerald ash borer in the area. There are 7 other
infested ash trees that must be removed from the property as well.
The trees planned for preservation on the west perimeter must have Tree Protection Zones
installed in accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail. This is noted on the Grading,
Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet C1.1). The same note must be added to the
Landscape Plan (Sheet L1) in place of landscaping note #3.

______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to accept the feasibility report and calling for
hearing on improvement for the 2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and
Water Extension Project for Colonial Woods.
BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2023 the City Council adopted a five year Street Reconstruction Plan that identified
roadways that would be funded through Street Reconstruction Bonds. The 2024 Street
Reconstruction Project included the Colonial Woods Area encompassing the easterly section of
62nd Street and Red Maple Lane. There are no assessments proposed for street reconstruction
and associated stormwater management improvements.
On August 28, 2023 the City Council authorized a Feasibility Report for the 2024 Street
Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project in the Colonial Woods
neighborhood. Considering the neighborhood was platted in the late 1970’s, and the need for
street reconstruction, the City is evaluating the extension of municipal water and sanitary
sewer to serve the area. Colonial Woods currently uses onsite private wells and septic systems.
The funding for the extension of municipal watermain and sanitary sewer would be through the
City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund and special assessments.
Due to the timing of the Feasibility Report being completed the projects will likely be pushed to
construction in 2025.

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 1 1. Executive SummaryThe City’s 2024-2027 Street Reconstruction Plan incorporates multiple roadway improvements, some of which include the Colonial Woods neighborhood. The Colonial Woods neighborhood for the purpose of
this study includes Red Maple Lane and 62nd Street (east of West Shadow Lake Drive). The street reconstruction and drainage improvements are planned to be funded through Street Reconstruction
Bonds. There are no proposed assessments associated with the roadway and drainage improvements.
The City’s pavement management plan identifies these roadways to be in poor condition and
recommends reconstruction. The estimated cost of the street and drainage improvements in the Colonial
Woods neighborhood is $2,580,649. An exhibit illustrating the Colonial Woods project location is shown in
Appendix A . Considering the age of the neighborhood, platted in 1977, and the need for street reconstruction, the City
is evaluating the extension of municipal water and sanitary sewer to serve the area. Currently this
neighborhood is served by onsite septic systems and private wells. Funding for sanitary sewer and water
extension to serve the neighborhood would be through assessments to the benefitting properties, and
Area & Unit Trunk Funds. The estimated cost of sanitary sewer and water system improvements is
$1,443,560.
The cost opinion includes a 10% construction contingency and 20% for indirect costs. The project is
proposed to be constructed in either 2024 or 2025 pending permitting timelines. This project is feasible,
necessary, and cost effective from an engineering standpoint and should be constructed as proposed herein. DRAFT

2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 3 3. Existing Conditions3.1. Streets The roadway condition of Red Maple Lane includes various severities of distress including delamination and potholes, minor alligator, block, transverse, and longitudinal cracking, along with a few localized
drainage issues. The roadway is approximately 45 years old is generally 28 feet wide and has rolled
bituminous curb that has diminished over time. Red Maple Lane is within a 60-foot wide right of way. 62nd Street east of West Shadow Lake Drive is 30 feet wide and the concrete curb and gutter ends 60 feet east of West Shadow Lake Drive. 62nd Street is within a 50 to 70 foot wide right of way. The total length of roadway improvements, Red Maple Lane and 62nd Street, included with this project is approximately 0.64
miles. There is an existing trail between 6273 and 6283 Red Maple Lane that connects to the street called Fox
Circle to the north. 2024 Street Reconstruction Project Existing Conditions Street Segment From To Length Existing Width 62nd Street W Shadow Lake Drive Red Maple Lane 415’ 30’
Red Maple Lane 62nd Street 62nd Street 3075’ 28’ 3.2. Drainage There are 3 main drainage areas in the Colonial Woods neighborhood and the project encompasses 40 acres of land. Street runoff flows along the sides of the pavement and into the grass and low areas or is
collected by the existing storm sewer drains at the southeast corner of Red Maple Lane. There is a
existing 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement between 6339 and 6331 Red Maple Lane. Within the
easement is a storm system structure. There is also a drainage and utility easement along the east and
northerly property line of address 707 62nd Street.
On the southerly end of the project area, there are also storm sewer drains at the intersection of Red
Maple Lane and 62nd Street north side. These drains lead to a ditch system that runs through 6347 and 6339 Red Maple Lane. The intersection of West Shadow Lake Drive and 62nd Street is drained by storm sewer that outlets to the south between properties 690 62nd Street and 760 62nd Street. There are multiple
wetl ands and stormwater basins within and adjacent to the project.

2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 4 3.3. Utilities 3.3.1. Sanitary Sewer The p roperties along Red Maple Lane and 62nd Street east of West Shadow Lake Drive are served by onsite septic systems. Some of the septic systems are drain fields while others are
mound systems. There is an existing 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer mainline near the
intersection of 62nd Street and West Shadow Lake Drive, with the as-built dated 2004. Existing septic systems have an average age of 35 years. There are 4 of the 29 systems that have been
replaced within the last 10 years. The majority of septic systems appear to be installed at the
same time the home was constructed. Septic systems installed around this time typically have a
35 to 40 year lifespan. 3.3.2. Watermain The Red Maple Lane and 62nd Street properties east of West Shadow Lake Drive are served by private wells. There is an existing 12-inch diameter DIP watermain near the intersection of 62nd Stre et and West Shadow Lake Drive, with the as-built dated 2004. Existing wells are typically
between 91 to 142 feet deep. Wells were installed at the time these houses were built. Wells
have an average life span of 50 years.

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 5 4. Proposed Improvements4.1 StreetsThe City will reconstruct the roadway back to the existing width of 28 feet (back of curb to back of curb) and install concrete curb and gutter. Once curb and gutter is installed the roadway will seem narrower,
which will provide a level of traffic calming. The road section will consist of 4 ½ inches of bituminous on
top of 8 inches of class 5 aggregate base. The subgrade will be evaluated through the design process.
The City may incorporate reclamation into the project. Surmountable curb and gutter is proposed for the
entire Colonial Woods neighborhood, and will be lowered at the driveways. A proposed typical section
can be found in Appendix A. 4.2 Drainage The City has completed a preliminary stormwater management design that will replace and expand the existing drainage systems. The design is in conformance with the City’s Stormwater Management
Ordinance and Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Rules. The area planned for a new stormwater
management facility is within the 62nd Street right of way as it extends undeveloped to the east. The City will be required to obtain a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District and the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA).
The preliminary storm sewer design is proposed to consist of typically 12 inch to 18 inch diameter
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). At the time of this report, the storm system is planned to convey water
to the pond on the easterly end of 62nd Street and outlet to the easterly wetland. The preliminary storm pipe locations and pond outline can be seen in Appendix A . 4.3 Utilities 4.3.1 Sanitary Sewer An 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer will be extended east along 62nd Street to Red Maple Lane. The sanitary sewer along 62nd Street is trunk sanitary sewer and will serve additional properties in the future.
An 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer will be extended north along Red Maple Lane and extend
around Red Maple Lane in both the east and west directions to serve the Colonial Woods
neighborhood, as shown in Appendix A . Four-inch diameter PVC services would be extended
from the 8-inch PVC mainline sewer to the property lines. 4.3.2 Water Service Twelve-inch diameter DIP watermain will be extended east along 62nd Street to Red Maple Lane. The watermain along 62nd Street is trunk watermain and will serve additional properties in the
futur e.
An 8-inch diameter DIP municipal water will be extended north along Red Maple Lane and loop
around Red Maple Lane in both the east and west directions to serve the Colonial Woods
neighborhood, as shown in Appendix A. The City will loop the system to an existing 8 inch stub
that extends down from Fox Circle. Fire hydrants will be installed per City specifications. One inch
diameter copper services would be extended to the property lines.

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 6 5. Financing5.1 Opinion of Probable Cost A detailed opinion of probable cost is included in Appendix B of this report. The opinion of probable cost
is based on projected construction costs for 2024 through 2025 and includes a 10% construction
contingency and 20% indirect costs. The indirect costs include engineering, legal, and administrative
costs associated with the project. The project costs are summarized as follows:
2024 / 2025 Street and Utility
Improvement Project Opinion of
Probable Cost Breakout Probable Cost Street and Storm $2,580,649
Sanitary Sewer $701,903
Watermain $741,657
Total Project $4,024,209 5.2 Funding The street and storm water infrastructure improvements are proposed to be funded by the issuance of
Stre et Reconstruction Bonds, repaid by a property tax levy. There are no proposed assessments
associated with the roadway and drainage improvements.
Funding of the extension of municipal watermain and sanitary sewer improvements is proposed to be
provided by the City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund and special assessments.
In the table above, the total sewer and water infrastructure cost is $1,443,560 of which $247,455 is
attributable to trunk oversizing. Generally, oversizing is calculated by the difference in cost between a
regular main and an oversized main. There are other factors considered such as additional depth and
difference in materials.
The remaining amount to be funded through special assessments is $1,196,105. This equates to
$41,245 per unit/lot. The City consulted with an independent appraiser to conduct a special benefit
analysis of the proposed sewer and water extensions. The analysis supported an assessment amount of
$18,000 per unit/lot. This would total $522,000 from special assessments to benefiting properties. A
Preliminary Assessment Role and corresponding map is include in Appendix C. 2024 / 2025 Street and Utility Improvement Project Funding Overview Breakout Street Reconstruction Bond Area & Unit

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Colonial Woods City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 7 This would result in a funding gap of $23,245 per unit/lot which totals $674,351. The City could consider
fundi ng the gap through the Area & Unit Trunk Fund. The Area & Unit Trunk Fund would be reimbursed
through a special project specific trunk connection fee.
All properties when connecting to municipal sewer and water services pay a standard trunk connection
fee in the amount of $7,429 per unit/lot (adjusted annually). The funding gap of $23,245 per unit/lot
minus the standard trunk connection fee in the amount of $7,429 per unit/lot equals $15,816 per unit/lot.
A special project fee would be established to include the base fee plus 50% of the funding gap on a per
lot basis. Based on this scenario property owners would pay an additional connection fee of $7,908 upon
hook up for a total connection fee of $15,337. The City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund would fund the balance
of the funding gap as outlined below:

minary assessments are calculated on a per unit basis for benefitting parcels along the streets within
the project area. Benefitting parcels would be assessed over a period of 15 years, collected with property
taxes, at an interest rate set at 2% above the City’s borrowing rate. Last year’s interest rate was 5%. At
a 5% rate over 15 years, the assessments would be $1,735/year or $145 per month.
The City also provides for the trunk connections fees to be specially assessed at the time of connection.
A compilation of connection cost and assessments per property is outlined in Appendix D.

Municipal utility extension would be funded by assessments to the benefitting properties and trunk utility
funds. The proposed assessment amount is $18,000 per unit/lot.
The City has established connection fees to pay for the trunk facilities on each utility. The trunk utility
connection fees would be due at the time of connection. The 2024 connection fees for watermain and
sanitary sewer are $4,066 per unit/lot and $3,363 per unit/lot respectively, which combined are $7,429 per
unit/lot. There would also be project specific additional trunk connection fees for watermain and sanitary
sewer $7,908 per unit/lot respectively.
A summary of the connection fees on a per unit basis:
Sanitary Sewer and Water Connection Fees per unit/lot
Trunk sanitary sewer and SAC $3,363
Trunk watermain and WAC $4,066
Additional Trunk Connection Fee $7,908
MCES SAC $2,485
Total $17,822
In addition to these costs, the individual property owners would need to hire a contractor to make the
connection from the City’s Right of Way to the house. The estimated cost of construction for installing
both the sanitary sewer and watermain is $10,000 per unit.
The City consulted with an independent appraiser to develop the proposed assessments. As part of the
analysis, the appraiser determined a typical well replacement to cost typically $15,000 - $25,000 and a
typical septic system replacement $25,000 - $30,000. The average overall full replacement well and
septic is expected to cost $40,000 - $60,000 per unit.

Design Phase Geotechnical Report
Red Maple Lane Infrastructure Improvements
Lino Lakes, Minnesota
CVT Project Number: 22539.23.MNS
Date: November 4, 2023
A. Introduction
The intent of this report is to present our findings and describe the means used to collect the data. The data
was collected for a specific purpose and may not be suitable for other purposes. We should be consulted
before attempting to use the data for other uses. A complete and thorough review of the entire document,
including its assumptions and its appendices, should be undertaken immediately upon receipt.
A.1. Purpose
This geotechnical report was prepared to assist planning for proposed infrastructure improvements of the
subdivision of Red Maple Lane in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Our services were authorized by Mr. Michael
Grochala from The City of Lino Lakes.
A.2. Scope
To obtain data for analysis, a total of four (4) penetration test borings were performed. The borings were
drilled to depths of about 9 ½ to 20 feet. Our engineering scope consisted of providing this report of our
findings and including geotechnical recommendations for construction and design of potential utility
replacements and paved areas.
A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations
The preferred boring locations were indicated to Chosen Valley Testing (CVT) on a site plan provided by
the city. The Boring Location Sketch in the Appendix shows the approximate locations as drilled on aerial
imagery using Google Earth software. Ground surface elevations were estimated using MnTOPO
software from the Minnesota DNR and are indicated on the Log of Boring sheets in the Appendix. The
elevations should be considered approximate.
A.4. Geologic Background
A geotechnical report is based on subsurface data collected for the specific structure or problem. Available
geologic data from the region can help interpretation of the data and is briefly summarized in this section.
Geologic maps indicate the soils in the area are dominated by glacial till deposits of sand to silty sand.
Bedrock is commonly more than 50 feet below the surface and is not a consideration for this project.
B. Subsurface Data
The borings were performed using penetration test procedures (Method of Test D1586 of the American
Society for Testing and Materials). This procedure allows for the extraction of intact soil specimen from deep
in the ground. With this method, a hollow-stem auger is drilled to the desired sampling depth. A 2-inch OD
sampling tube is then screwed onto the end of a sampling rod, inserted through the hole in the auger's tip,

and then driven into the soil with a 140-pound hammer dropped repeatedly from a height of 30 inches above
the sampling rod. The sampler is driven 18 inches into the soil unless the material is too hard. The samples
are generally taken at 2½ to 5-foot intervals. The core of soil obtained was classified and logged by our
drilling personnel at the site and a representative portion was then sealed and delivered to our laboratory for
further review.
B.1. Strata
Three borings were drilled through existing pavement and encountered about 3 to 4 inches of asphalt over
6 inches of aggregate. The southeast boring was drilled in a green area and met about ½ foot of topsoil at
the surface.
Below the surface materials, the northern east boring encountered possible fill consisting of poorly graded
sand with silt to a depth of 2 feet.
Below the surface material, the borings were dominated by clean sands natural sands (poorly graded sand
and poorly graded sand with silt) with lesser layers of silty sand. The green area boring terminated in
these materials. The borings drilled through the pavements met clayey sand or sandy clay at about 13 ½
feet and terminated in these materials.
For the reader’s convenience, we have summarized the soil boring data in the following cross-section.
The reader is referred to the boring logs in the Appendix for more detailed information.

sampler is an indicator of soil characteristics. The results tend to be more meaningful for natural mineral
soils than for fill soils. In fill soils, density tests are more meaningful.
Penetration resistance values ("N" Value) of 5 to 11 blows per foot (BPF) were recorded in the sands
indicating they were very loose to medium dense but mostly loose.
The c1ays returned blows of 7 BPF, indicating it was medium.
A key to descriptors used to qualify the relative density of soil (such as soft, stiff, loose, and dense) can be
found on the Legend to Soil Description in the Appendix.
B.3. Groundwater Data
During drilling, the drillers may note the presence of moisture on the sampler, in the cuttings, or in the
borehole itself. These findings are reported on the Log of Boring sheets. Because water levels vary with
weather, time of year, and other factors, the presence or lack of water during exploration is subject to
interpretation and is not always conclusive.
Water was observed in all boring at depths from 7 to 11 feet below the surface. These depth corresponds
to elevations of about 892 to 893 in the borings were three borings which terminated in the clayey soils,
but about 877 in the southeast boring which did not encounter the clayey layer. Groundwater levels at the
site are expected to fluctuate seasonally similar to levels in the nearby lake, as well as with local weather
patterns.
C. Project Design Data
Each structure has a different loading configuration and intensity, different grades, and different structural
and performance tolerances. Therefore, the geotechnical exploration will be construed differently from one
structure to another. If the initial structure should change design, we should be engaged to review these
conditions with respect to the prevailing soil conditions. Without the opportunity to review any such changes,
the recommendations may no longer be valid or appropriate.
The project consists of complete reconstruction of pavements and the installation of watermain, storm
sewer and sanitary sewer in the subdivision. CVT assumes the pipes will be installed at depths between 5
and 10 feet using open cut excavations or direction drilling.
We have assumed final grades will be at or close to the existing grades. The new pavement is expected
to consist of asphalt over aggregate base.
D.Utility Recommendations
D.1. Groundwater/De-watering
As mentioned earlier, water was observed in all the boring at a depth of 7 to 11 feet. Due to the high
permeability of the dominated sand, well-points or dewatering wells will likely be required for
excavations into the water table.

D.2. Trench Sidewalls
The contractor will be required to slope or shore the excavations as needed to meet OSHA requirements
for safety. Most of the soils would be expected to classify as Type C soils as defined by OSHA. Trench
boxes or other stabilization methods may be necessary if excavations encroach near existing utilities or
structures.
D.3. Trench Bottom Stability
Depending upon location and depth, the utilities are expected to bear primarily on clean sands. These
materials are considered generally suitable for support of pipes. If soft and unstable conditions are
encountered, we recommend placing bedding of coarse sand or gravel at the base of the trenches to
provide a more stable bottom for crews laying the pipes.
In order to reduce the potential for point loads on the pipes, we recommend removing any cobbles or
boulders to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches from around pipes and replacing those materials with clean
sand or gravel that can more readily conform to the pipes.
D.4. Fill Placement and Compaction
Soils placed as backfill below paved areas should ideally be compacted to 100% of their maximum
standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698) in the upper 3 feet, and to at least 95% below. In green areas,
90% compaction is normally adequate.
The dominated sands as well as the less dominant silty sands encountered are considered generally
suitable for use as backfill above utilities, provided they can be adequately compacted. To reduce
potential for differential frost action, fill placed in upper part of the trenches should ideally be placed in
layers that align reasonably similar to the soil stratification on the trench side walls. In this case, the soils
appear to be reasonably uniform, and layering does not appear to be necessary.
E. Pavement Recommendations
E.1. Stripping and Grading
We recommend removing the existing asphalt, aggregate base, from the below new paved areas, along
with any topsoil or fine grained soils (silts or clay) is present within 3 feet of the proposed top of
subgrade. It may be possible to reclaim and reuse the existing asphalt and aggregate for use as part of the
new pavement’s aggregate base, provided it meets MnDOT specifications.
After the removals, utility construction, and grading, the near-surface soils are expected to primarily
consists of clean sands. We recommend scarifying and compacting all near-surface soils in order to even
out any localized discontinuities in the subgrade materials and to provide a more gradational transition
between differing materials. This action is intended to limit differential frost heave and provide more
uniform pavement support.
Subgrades should be test rolled using a tandem axle truck. Any soft areas detected should be scarified,

M I N N E S O T A IOWA W I S C O N S I N
dried, and recompacted. If time constraints prohibit drying, soil corrections, extra aggregate base, breaker
run, sand subbase, and/or geotextiles may be necessary for stabilization.
E.2. Preliminary Pavement Design
As mentioned earlier, subgrade soils are expected to consist primarily of clean sands. The effective
Hveem-stabilometer R-values for dominant sands would be expected to range from 50 to 70. We
recommend using a value of 50 for pavement design.
In the absence of traffic loading, we recommend a pavement section consisting of at least 3 inches of
asphalt and 6 inches of aggregate base. As noted before, the existing pavements could possibly be milled
and then reused as base material provided the reclaimed material meets Mn/DOT Specification 3138 for
Class 5 Aggregate Base.
F. Construction Testing and Documentation
F.1. Excavation
A variety of equipment is expected to be capable of performing earthwork and grading. An excavator or
backhoe with a smooth-lipped bucket is recommended for completing any excavations. This is intended
to limit disturbance to the supporting soils being left in place, while also producing a smooth working
surface.
F.2. Compaction
Fill should be placed in lifts adjusted to the compactor being used and the material being compacted. We
recommend limiting lifts to no more than 1 foot, assuming large, self-propelled or tow-behind compactors
are used. Thinner lifts should be used for lighter compaction equipment.
F.3. Cold Weather
If the earthwork occurs during freezing temperatures, good winter construction practices should be used.
No frozen fill should be used nor should structural filling take place on frozen ground.
F.4. Construction Phase Testing and Documentation
The bottom of all excavations, grading, and roadway subgrade should be evaluated and documented by
geotechnical personnel after the unsuitable materials are removed and before placement of any fill or
pavement. Samples of any fill materials and/or alternative gradations of materials proposed for use
should be submitted for approval before use. The County may wish to have, or may be obligated to have
tests performed regarding the other various paving components. Specification of such requirements is
normally the responsibility of the City and their design consultant.

MEETING DATE: June 10, 2024
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 24-78, Accepting Feasibility Report and
Calling Hearing on Improvement, Pine Haven
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to accept the feasibility report and calling for
hearing on improvement for the 2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and
Water Extension Project for Pine Haven.
BACKGROUND
On June 26, 2023 the City Council adopted a five year Street Reconstruction Plan that identified
roadways that would be funded through Street Reconstruction Bonds. The 2024 Street
Reconstruction Project included the Pine Haven Area encompassing 81st Street, Danube Street
and Elbe Street. There are no assessments proposed for street reconstruction and associated
stormwater management improvements.
On August 28, 2023 the City Council authorized a Feasibility Report for the 2024 Street
Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project in the Pine Haven
neighborhood. Considering the neighborhood was platted in the late 1970’s, and the need for
street reconstruction, the City is evaluating the extension of municipal water and sanitary
sewer to serve the area. The Pine Haven neighborhood currently uses onsite private wells and
septic systems.
The funding for the extension of municipal watermain and sanitary sewer would be through the
City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund and special assessments.
Due to the timing of the Feasibility Report being completed the projects will likely be pushed to
construction in 2025.

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Pine Haven City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 1 1. Executive SummaryThe City’s 2024-2027 Street Reconstruction Plan incorporates multiple roadway improvements, some of which include the Pine Haven neighborhood. The Pine Haven neighborhood for the purpose of this study
includes 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street. The street reconstruction and drainage
improvements are planned to be funded through Street Reconstruction Bonds. There are no proposed
assessments associated with the roadway and drainage improvements. The City’s pavement
management plan identifies these roadways to be in poor condition and recommends reconstruction. The
estimated cost of the street and drainage improvements in the Pine Haven neighborhood is $1,767,338.
An exhibit illustrating the Pine Haven project location is shown in Appendix A . Considering the age of the neighborhood, platted in 1976, and the need for street reconstruction, the City
is evaluating the extension of municipal water and sanitary sewer to serve the area. Currently this
neighborhood is served by onsite septic systems and private wells. Funding for sanitary sewer and water
extension to serve the neighborhood would be through assessments to the benefitting properties, and
Area & Unit Trunk Funds. The estimated cost of sanitary sewer and water system improvements is
$1,568,855.
The cost opinion includes a 10% construction contingency and 20% for indirect costs. The project is
proposed to be constructed in either 2024 or 2025 pending permitting timelines. This project is feasible,
necessary, and cost effective from an engineering standpoint and should be constructed as proposed herein. 346
Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Pine Haven City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 2 2. IntroductionThe City of Lino Lakes is completing this Feasibility Study for the extension of municipal sewer and water
to the Pine Haven neighborhood which is located on 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street. 2.1 Authorization On August 28, 2023, the City Council of Lino Lakes approved Resolution 23-89 authorizing the preparation of a feasibility study for the extension of sanitary sewer and water systems to the Pine Haven
neighborhood which includes 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street. 2.2 Scope The City of Lino Lakes plans to reconstruct 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street as part of a larger roadway improvement project, the project location map can be found in Appendix A . The most cost-
effective time to consider extending municipal utilities is in coordination with roadway reconstruction.
Thus, the City is evaluating the feasibility of extending municipal sanitary sewer and water systems to the
Pine Haven neighborhood. This includes the three addresses located on the easterly side of Lake Drive:
8060, 8066, and 8074 in addition to those with 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street addresses, 30 properties in total. 2.3 Data Available Information and materials used in preparation of this report include the following:

Streets The roadway condition of 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street includes various severities of distress including delamination and potholes, minor alligator, block, transverse, and longitudinal cracking,
along with a few localized drainage issues. The roadway is approximately 47 years old is generally 30
feet wide and has rolled bituminous curb that has diminished over time. Danube Street is a cul-du-sac
that has a 46 foot wide radius, which is the City’s standard. 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street are within a 60-foot wide right of way. The total length of roadway improvements for the streets in the
Pine Haven Neighborhood included with this project is approximately 0.42 miles. 2024 Street Reconstruction Project Existing Conditions Street Segment From To Length Existing Width 81st Street Lake Drive Elbe Street 700’ 30’ Danube Street 81st Street Cul-de-Sac 500’ 30’ Elbe Street Highway 14 Dead End 965’ 30’ 3.2. Drainage There are 2 main drainage areas in the Pine Haven neighborhood and the project encompasses 19 acres
of la nd. Street runoff flows along the sides of the pavement and into the grass and low areas or is
collected by the existing storm sewer drains at the southerly end of Danube Street or Elbe Street. There
is an existing 20 foot wide drainage and utility easement between 8016 and 8020 Danube Street and 897
and 915 Main Street. Within the easement is the existing storm sewer system. The storm system
conveys water from the southerly end of Danube Street and outlets /connects to storm sewer system in
Main Street. Similarly the existing storm sewer system coveys water to from Elbe Street into the Main
Street system. The Main Street system is Anoka’s system. 3.3. Utilities 3.3.1. Sanitary Sewer The properties along 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street are served by onsite septic systems. Some of the septic systems are drain fields while others are mound systems. There is
an existing 15-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer mainline that runs along the easterly side of
Lake Drive, from the intersection of Main Street to approximately 600-feet northeast, with the as-
built dated 2013. There are 2 of the 30 onsite septic systems that have been replaced within the
last 10 years. The majority of septic systems appear to be installed at the same time the home
was constructed. Septic systems installed around this time typically have a 35 to 40 year lifespan. 3.3.2. Watermain The 81st Street, Danube Street, and Elbe Street properties are served by private wells. There is
an e xisting 12-inch diameter DIP watermain that is parallel to the existing sanitary sewer trunk
line and runs along the easterly side of Lake Drive, from the intersection of Main Street to
approximately 600-feet northeast, with the as-built dated 2013. Existing wells are typically

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Pine Haven City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 4 between 60 to 272 feet deep. Wells were installed at the time these houses were built. Wells have an average life span of 50 years. 4. Proposed Improvements4.1 StreetsThe City will reconstruct 81st Street and Elbe Street back to their existing width of 30 feet wide (front of curb to front of curb) and install concrete curb and gutter. Danube will be reconstructed to 28 feet wide
(back of curb to back of curb). Due the nature of the existing rolled bituminous curb, the new concrete
curb and gutter will change the perception of the road width. The road section will consist of 4 ½ inches of
bituminous on top of 8 inches of class 5 aggregate base. The subgrade will be evaluated through the
design process. The City may incorporate reclamation into the project. Surmountable curb and gutter is
proposed for the entire Pine Haven neighborhood, and will be lowered at the driveways. A proposed
typical section can be found in Appendix A.
The City has had discussions with Anoka County and the property owner of 8174 Lake Drive regarding
the possible re-alignment of 81st Street and Diane Street to be one intersection. The City will continue to evaluate this option. 4.2 Drainage The City has completed a preliminary stormwater management design that will replace and expand the existing drainage systems. The design is in conformance with the City’s Stormwater Management
Ordinance and Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Rules. The area planned for a new stormwater
management facility is within the 81st Street right of way as it extends undeveloped to the east. There is a second area planned for a stormwater management facility, east of property address 8010 Elbe Street.
The City has been coordinating this option with the property owner to consider a drainage and utility
easement.
The preliminary storm sewer design is proposed to consist of typically 12 inch to 15 inch diameter
Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP). At the time of this report, the storm system is planned to convey water
to the pond on the easterly end of 81st Street as well as to the east of property address 8010 Elbe Street, both of which will outlet to the easterly wetland. The preliminary storm pipe locations and pond outline
can be seen in Appendix A . The City will be required to obtain a permit from Rice Creek Watershed
District and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). 4.3 Utilities 4.3.1 Sanitary Sewer An 15-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer will be extended northeast along Lake Drive and east along 81st Street. The sanitary sewer along Lake Drive and 81st Street is trunk sanitary sewer and will serve additional properties in the future. The installation of the sewer line along Lake
Drive may require the reconstruction of the shoulder. This will continue to be coordinated with
Anoka County, cost for this has not been included at this time.
An 8-inch diameter PVC sanitary sewer will be extended south along Danube Street and Elbe
Street to serve the Pine Haven neighborhood, as shown in Appendix A . Four-inch diameter PVC
services would be extended from the 8-inch PVC mainline sewer to the property lines.

The watermain along Lake Drive and 81st Street is trunk watermain and will serve additional properties in the future.
An 8-inch diameter DIP municipal water will be extended south along Danube Street and Elbe
Street to serve the Pine Haven neighborhood, as shown in Appendix A. The City will terminate
the watermain at the cul-de-sac for Danube Street and at the south end of Elbe Street. Fire
hydrants will be installed per City specifications. One inch diameter copper services would be
extended to the property lines. 5. Financing5.1 Opinion of Probable Cost A detailed opinion of probable cost is included in Appendix B of this report. The opinion of probable cost
is based on projected construction costs for 2024 through 2025 and includes a 10% construction
contingency and 20% indirect costs. The indirect costs include engineering, legal, and administrative
costs associated with the project. The project costs are summarized as follows:

Probable Cost Breakout Probable Cost Street and Storm $1,767,338
Sanitary Sewer $754,692
Watermain $814,163
Total Project $3,336,193 5.2 Funding The street and storm water infrastructure improvements are proposed to be funded by the issuance of
Stre et Reconstruction Bonds, repaid by a property tax levy. There are no proposed assessments
associated with the roadway and drainage improvements.
Funding of the extension of municipal watermain and sanitary sewer improvements is proposed to be
provided by the City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund and special assessments.

Feasibility Report
2024 / 2025 Street Reconstruction and Municipal Sewer and Water Extension Project Pine Haven City of Lino Lakes, MN WSB Project No. 023620-000 Page 6 In the table above, the total sewer and water infrastructure cost is $1,568,855 of which $510,365 is
attri butable to trunk oversizing. Generally, oversizing is calculated by the difference in cost between a
regular main and an oversized main. There are other factors considered such as additional depth and
difference in materials.
The remaining amount to be funded through special assessments is $1,058,490. This equates to
$35,283 per unit/lot. The City consulted with an independent appraiser to conduct a special benefit
analysis of the proposed sewer and water extensions. The analysis supported an assessment amount of
$16,000 per unit/lot. This would total $480,000 from special assessments to benefiting properties. A
Preliminary Assessment Role and corresponding map is include in Appendix C. This would result in a funding gap of $19,283 per unit/lot which totals $578,490. The City could consider
funding the gap through the Area & Unit Trunk Fund. The Area & Unit Trunk Fund would be reimbursed
through a special project specific trunk connection fee.
All properties when connecting to municipal sewer and water services pay a standard trunk connection
fee in the amount of $7,429 per unit/lot (adjusted annually). The funding gap of $19,283 per unit/lot
minus the standard trunk connection fee in the amount of $7,429 per unit/lot equals $11,854 per unit/lot.
A special project fee would be established to include the base fee plus 50% of the funding gap on a per
lot basis. Based on this scenario property owners would pay an additional connection fee of $5,927 upon
hook up for a total connection fee of $13,356. The City’s Area & Unit Trunk Fund would fund the balance
of the funding gap as outlined below:

the project area. Benefitting parcels would be assessed over a period of 15 years, collected with property
taxes, at an interest rate set at 2% above the City’s borrowing rate. Last year’s interest rate was 5%. At
a 5% rate over 15 years, the assessments would be $1,542/year or $129 per month.
The City also provides for the trunk connections fees to be specially assessed at the time of connection.
A compilation of connection cost and assessments per property is outlined in Appendix D.

364
Municipal utility extension would be funded by assessments to the benefitting properties and trunk utility
funds. The proposed assessment amount is $16,000 per unit/lot.
The City has established connection fees to pay for the trunk facilities on each utility. The trunk utility
connection fees would be due at the time of connection. The 2024 connection fees for watermain and
sanitary sewer are $4,066 per unit/lot and $3,363 per unit/lot respectively, which combined are $7,429 per
unit/lot. There would also be project specific additional trunk connection fees for watermain and sanitary
sewer $5,927 per unit/lot respectively.
A summary of the connection fees on a per unit basis:
Sanitary Sewer and Water Connection Fees per unit/lot
Trunk sanitary sewer and SAC $3,363
Trunk watermain and WAC $4,06
Additional Trunk Connection Fee $5,927
MCES SAC $2,485
Total $15,841
In addition to these costs, the individual property owners would need to hire a contractor to make the
connection from the City’s Right of Way to the house. The estimated cost of construction for installing
both the sanitary sewer and watermain is $10,000 per unit.
The City consulted with an independent appraiser to develop the proposed assessments. As part of the
analysis, the appraiser determined a typical well replacement to cost typically $15,000 - $25,000 and a
typical septic system replacement $25,000 - $30,000. The average overall full replacement well and
septic is expected to cost $40,000 - $60,000 per unit.

Design Phase Geotechnical Report
81st Street to Elbe Street Infrastructure Improvements
Lino Lakes, Minnesota
CVT Project Number: 22538.23.MNS
Date: November 4, 2023
A. Introduction
The intent of this report is to present our findings and describe the means used to collect the data. The data
was collected for a specific purpose and may not be suitable for other purposes. We should be consulted
before attempting to use the data for other uses. A complete and thorough review of the entire document,
including its assumptions and its appendices, should be undertaken immediately upon receipt.
A.1. Purpose
This geotechnical report was prepared to assist planning for proposed infrastructure improvements of the
subdivision located northeast of 81st Street to Elbe Street in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Our services were
authorized by Mr. Michael Grochala from The City of Lino Lakes.
A.2. Scope
To obtain data for analysis, a total of four (4) penetration test borings were performed. The borings were
drilled to depths of about 9 ½ to 14.9 feet. Our engineering scope consisted of providing this report of
our procedures, findings and geotechnical recommendations for construction and design of potential
utility replacements and paved areas.
A.3. Boring Locations and Elevations
The preferred boring locations were indicated to Chosen Valley Testing (CVT) on a site plan provided by
the city. The Boring Location Sketch in the Appendix shows the approximate locations as drilled on aerial
imagery using Google Earth software. Ground surface elevations were estimated using MnTOPO
software from the Minnesota DNR and are indicated on the Log of Boring sheets in the Appendix. The
elevations should be considered approximate.
A.4. Geologic Background
A geotechnical report is based on subsurface data collected for the specific structure or problem. Available
geologic data from the region can help interpretation of the data and is briefly summarized in this section.
Geologic maps indicate the soils in the area are dominated by lacustrine deposited of sands. Bedrock is
commonly more than 200 feet below the surface and is not a consideration for this project.
B. Subsurface Data
The borings were performed using penetration test procedures (Method of Test D1586 of the American
Society for Testing and Materials). This procedure allows for the extraction of intact soil specimen from deep
in the ground. With this method, a hollow-stem auger is drilled to the desired sampling depth. A 2-inch OD
sampling tube is then screwed onto the end of a sampling rod, inserted through the hole in the auger's tip,

and then driven into the soil with a 140-pound hammer dropped repeatedly from a height of 30 inches above
the sampling rod. The sampler is driven 18 inches into the soil unless the material is too hard. The samples
are generally taken at 2½ to 5-foot intervals. The core of soil obtained was classified and logged by our
drilling personnel at the site and a representative portion was then sealed and delivered to our laboratory for
further review.
B.1. Strata
Three borings were drilled through existing roadways and encountered about 1 to 6 inches of asphalt over
4 to 6 inches of aggregate. The northeast boring was drilled in a green area for a possible roadway
extension and met about 1 foot of topsoil at the surface.
Below the surface materials, the borings were dominated by clean sands natural sands (poorly graded
sand and poorly graded sand with silt). All borings terminated in the sands.
For the reader’s convenience, we have summarized the soil boring data in the following cross-section.
The reader is referred to the boring logs in the Appendix for more detailed information.
B.2. Penetration Test Results
Penetration Test Results: The number of blows needed for the hammer to advance the penetration test
sampler is an indicator of soil characteristics. The results tend to be more meaningful for natural mineral
soils than for fill soils. In fill soils, density tests are more meaningful.
Penetration resistance values ("N" Value) of 4 to 10 blows per foot (BPF) were recorded in the sands DRAFT371

indicating they were very loose to loose but mostly loose.
A key to descriptors used to qualify the relative density of soil (such as soft, stiff, loose, and dense) can be
found on the Legend to Soil Description in the Appendix.
B.3. Groundwater Data
During drilling, the drillers may note the presence of moisture on the sampler, in the cuttings, or in the
borehole itself. These findings are reported on the Log of Boring sheets. Because water levels vary with
weather, time of year, and other factors, the presence or lack of water during exploration is subject to
interpretation and is not always conclusive.
Water was observed at a depth of 10 feet in the deepest boring, which was also the boring at the lowest
ground surface elevation. This depth corresponds to the elevation of 897 feet on the datum used to locate
the borings. Groundwater levels at the site are expected to fluctuate seasonally similar to levels in the
nearby lake, as well as with local weather patterns.
C. Project Design Data
Each structure has a different loading configuration and intensity, different grades, and different structural
and performance tolerances. Therefore, the geotechnical exploration will be construed differently from one
structure to another. If the initial structure should change design, we should be engaged to review these
conditions with respect to the prevailing soil conditions. Without the opportunity to review any such changes,
the recommendations may no longer be valid or appropriate.
The project consists of complete reconstruction of pavements and the installation of watermain, storm
sewer and sanitary sewer in the subdivision. CVT assumes the pipes will be installed at depths between 5
and 10 feet using open cut excavations or direction drilling.
We have assumed final grades will be at or close to the existing grades. The new pavement is expected
to consist of asphalt over aggregate base.
D.Utility Recommendations
D.1. Groundwater/De-watering
As mentioned earlier, water was only observed in the boring with the lowest elevation, at a depth of 10
feet. If water is encountered during the excavation, well-points or dewatering wells will likely be
required.
D.2. Trench Sidewalls
The contractor will be required to slope or shore the excavations as needed to meet OSHA requirements
for safety. Most of the soils would be expected to classify as Type C soils as defined by OSHA. Trench
boxes or other stabilization methods may be necessary if excavations encroach near existing utilities or
structures.

D.3. Trench Bottom Stability
Depending upon location and depth, the utilities are expected to bear primarily on clean sands. These
materials are considered suitable for support of pipes. If soft and unstable conditions are encountered,
we recommend placing bedding of coarse sand or gravel at the base of the trenches to provide a more
stable bottom for crews laying the pipes. Such conditions are not expected.
In order to reduce the potential for point loads on the pipes, we recommend removing any cobbles or
boulders to a depth of at least 6 to 8 inches from around pipes and replacing those materials with clean
sand or gravel that can more readily conform to the pipes. Again, cobbles and boulders were not observed
during drilling.
D.4. Fill Placement and Compaction
The sands encountered are considered suitable for use as backfill above utilities and supporting the
pavements. Soils placed as backfill below paved areas should be compacted to 100% of their maximum
standard Proctor density (ASTM D 698) in the upper 3 feet, and to at least 95% below. In green areas,
90% compaction is normally adequate.
E. Pavement Recommendations
E.1. Stripping and Grading
We recommend removing the existing asphalt, aggregate base, and topsoil or other unsuitable soil from
within 3 feet of the proposed pavement section subgrade before placing the new pavement material
sections. It may be possible to reclaim and reuse the existing asphalt and aggregate for use as part of the
new pavement’s aggregate base, provided it meets MnDOT specifications.
After the removals, utility construction, and grading, the near-surface soils are expected to primarily
consists of clean sands. We recommend scarifying and compacting all near-surface soils in order to even
out any localized discontinuities in the subgrade materials and to provide a more gradational transition
between differing materials. This action is intended to limit differential frost heave and provide more
uniform pavement support.
Subgrades should be test rolled using a tandem axle truck. Any soft areas detected should be scarified,
dried, and recompacted. If time constraints prohibit drying, soil corrections, extra aggregate base, breaker
run, sand subbase, and/or geotextiles may be necessary for stabilization.
E.2. Preliminary Pavement Design
As mentioned earlier, subgrade soils are expected to consist primarily of clean sands. The effective
Hveem-stabilometer R-values for dominant sands would be expected to range from 50 to 70. We
recommend using a value of 50 for pavement design.
In the absence of traffic loading, we recommend a pavement section consisting of at least 3 inches of
asphalt and 6 inches of aggregate base. As noted before, the existing pavements could possibly be milled

and then reused as base material provided the reclaimed material meets Mn/DOT Specification 3138 for
Class 5 Aggregate Base.
F. Construction Testing and Documentation
F.1. Excavation
A variety of equipment is expected to be capable of performing earthwork and grading. An excavator or
backhoe with a smooth-lipped bucket is recommended for completing any excavations. This is intended
to limit disturbance to the supporting soils being left in place, while also producing a smooth working
surface.
F.2. Compaction
Fill should be placed in lifts adjusted to the compactor being used and the material being compacted. We
recommend limiting lifts to no more than 1 foot, assuming large, self-propelled or tow-behind compactors
are used. Thinner lifts should be used for lighter compaction equipment.
F.3. Cold Weather
If the earthwork occurs during freezing temperatures, good winter construction practices should be used.
No frozen fill should be used nor should structural filling take place on frozen ground.
F.4. Construction Phase Testing and Documentation
The bottom of all excavations, grading, and roadway subgrade should be evaluated and documented by
geotechnical personnel after the unsuitable materials are removed and before placement of any fill or
pavement. Samples of any fill materials and/or alternative gradations of materials proposed for use
should be submitted for approval before use. The City may wish to have, or may be obligated to have
tests performed regarding the other various paving components. Specification of such requirements is
normally the responsibility of the City and their design consultant.
G. Level of Care
The services provided for this project have been conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care
and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing in this area, under similar
budget and time constraints. This is our professional responsibility. No other warranty, expressed or
implied, is made.

VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting approval of the Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Blaine for Street
Lighting Service and Maintenance at the CSAH 14 and CR 53 Intersection.
BACKGROUND
Anoka County is currently reconstructing the intersection of County State Aid Highway 14 (Main
Street) and County Road 53 (Sunset Ave.). The improvements include the construction of a
roundabout (RAB), storm water quality improvements and lighting. The construction,
engineering, and lighting costs after bidding are $1,921,190. Anoka County received
$1,370,000 in federal funding for the project. The City’s share, which is State Aid eligible, is
$51,000.
The roundabout lighting service and maintenance is the responsibility of the Cities of Blaine and
Lino Lakes, thus the project requires the execution of a Joint Powers Agreement. Under the
terms of the agreement Blaine will bill Lino Lakes annually for our share of the energy bills.
Each city is solely responsible for maintenance of lights within each City.
Additional information on the project can be found on the project website at:
https://www.csah14roundabout.com/.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 24-80 approving the Joint Powers Agreement
