WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 3
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: August 5, 2024
TOPIC: 1-35E/CRJ Interchange Update
BACKGROUND
Final design for the 1-35E Interchange is underway with construction still proposed for spring of
2025. As the process continues a number of items will need to be addressed as part of
approvals. These include:
1) Jurisdictional transfers
2) Maintenance
3) Streetscaping elements
4) Cost share
Jurisdictional transfers
County Road J, between Centerville Road and Otter Lake Road is under the jurisdiction of
multiple road authorities. The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Ramsey County and Mn/DOT
each share responsibility for certain portions of the roadway. The north half of CRJ, from
Centerville Road to approximately 20t" Avenue, is under the City's jurisdiction. The road is not
currently on the City or County's municipal state aid system. However, all parties are proposing
the use of state aid as part of the funding. We have been informed by Mn/DOT roadways
cannot share Municipal and County State Aid Designations. Accordingly, Anoka County is
proposing to take over jurisdiction of the Lino Lakes road portion. However, Anoka County has
indicated a need to transfer over an equivalent length of an existing county road to the City in
exchange. Staff have raised concerns regarding transfer of a roadway that may have certain
deficiencies such as right-of-way width, road width or pavement condition that would result in
greater long term liability to the City. No decisions have been made at this point and staff will
continue to update the Council.
1
Maintenanre
Maintenance of the project will be shared in part with the four entities mentioned above and
White Bear Township. Generally, Mn/DOT will have responsibility for the bridge and ramps,
Ramsey and Anoka Counties would share the roadway responsibilities. Lino Lakes, White Bear
Township and Mn/DOT would likely share responsibility for Roundabout (RAB) landscaping and
trail maintenance. These discussions are underway.
StreetscaainR elements
The 35E/CRJ interchange is located in one of the City's "Gateway" locations. The concept
gateway design, prepared by WSB includes landscaping in the RAB's with decorative colored
concrete highlights in the truck apron and splitter islands. It also included gateway signage at
the CRJ/Centervillle intersection and at the interstate ramps, along with possible enhancements
to the bridge railing. Mn/DOT has placed some on both bridge aesthetics and ramp RAB
landscaping. At this time, we are discussing possible decorative iron railing that would include
the city logo, with the RAB at Centerville and CRJ designed like the Hodgson/CRJ intersection
with Lino Lakes monument in northeast quadrant of intersection. No decorative lighting is
proposed. MnDOT is reviewing a request to place City monument signs in the infield between
the ramps and interstate. These discussions are continuing.
Cost Share
Cost shares are still being reviewed and dependent on specific roadway components and
jurisdiction. The City will have a share of any decorative features and landscaping and the west
leg of the Centerville/CRJ RAB. We intend to consider specially assessing this cost to the
abutting property owner. This will be finalized once jurisdictional issues are resolved.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
None required.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 4
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
WORK SESSION DATE: August 5, 2024
TOPIC: RCWD/VLAWMO Boundary Adjustments
BACKGROUND
As discussed at the July 1, 2024 work session the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD)
undertook a hydrologic boundary review within Ramsey, Anoka and Hennepin Counties. The
purpose of the review was to align the jurisdictional boundary more closely to the hydrological
boundary between the respective water management organizations.
A total of 38 parcels, 3 of which are owned by the City of Lino Lakes, will be affected by the
boundary adjustments. 12 parcels will switch from RCWD to VLAWMO and the balance will
revert to RCWD jurisdiction. In each case the determination is that more than 50% of the
property drains to RCWD jurisdiction.
State law requires that RCWD submit and petition for the change to the Board of Water and Soil
Resources (BWSR). The petition must be accompanied by letters of concurrence from the
individual local units of government. RCWD has requested a letter of concurrence by August 9,
2024. They have been notified of our intent to consider it on the 121n
The City Council previously discussed public notice requirements. Notice of the proposed
boundary adjustment is provided by BWSR upon receipt of the petition from RCWD. The
notification process for impacted properties is completed by the Board of Water and Soil
Resources per Subd. 3 of MS 103B.215. In the past this has been published in the Anoka County
Union Herald (Anoka County's official newspaper). The RCWD did indicate that the City could
do additional noticing if desired. This would need to be coordinated with BWSR.
The City Council also inquired about potential financial impacts. Properties within the RCWD
pay through property taxes. The annual taxes paid to RCWD will vary based on property value.
Values in the area range from $350,000 to S450,000. Based on 2024 tax rates properties in this
range would pay between $52 to 68$ annually. VLAWMO residents pay a storm water utility
fee. The current VLAWMO utility rate for residential classification is $68.13/year.
City comments, coordinated with VLAWMO, appear to have been incorporated into the
proposed boundary adjustment. From a technical standpoint the proposed revisions appear
consistent with regulatory requirements.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is requesting City Council direction to place the item on the August 12 regular meeting for
concurrence.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 8
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Dan L'Allier, Deputy Director - Fire
WORK SESSION DATE: August 5, 2024
TOPIC: Staff Part -Time Firefighters on City -Observed Holidays
BACKGROUND
The Lino Lakes Public Safety Fire Division has used a Duty Crew Firefighter Model since May 1,
2022. This staffing model has provided a three -firefighter part-time Duty Crew, Monday
through Friday from 6 AM to 6 PM, excluding holidays.
Shortly after the implementation of the Duty Crew Model, it became clear that fire protection
coverage on the City's observed holidays was lacking.
The Fire Division operates two staffing models; the first is a Paid On -Call staffing model. Paid
on -call firefighters do not staff at a fire station, they live within our community and respond to
calls for service when needed. The second model we use is the part-time Duty Crew Firefighter.
These firefighters staff a fire station and respond to calls for service.
The issue with using our paid on -call firefighters to staff holidays during the day is many have
full-time employment outside of the City or they may leave the City to celebrate the holiday.
Additionally, many employers do not observe the same holidays that the City does, which
makes utilizing paid on -call firefighters to staff holidays an unstable staffing model. A stable
response model would be to staff the City Fire Stations with four part-time Duty Crew
firefighters from 6 AM to 6 PM on holidays.
Staff has contacted Cities near Lino Lakes that use part-time Duty Crew firefighters to cover
holidays. Many of these Cities are compensating their Duty Crew Firefighters at time and one-
half rate of the normal rate of pay for holiday shift coverage.
The daily cost to staff a four -person Duty Crew of firefighters for a holiday is approximately
$2,110.00. This rate includes time and a half compensation. The City observes 13 holidays per
year. To provide Duty Crew Staffing for all holidays would be approximately $27,430. The
current 2024 and proposed 2025 budgets for personnel costs for PT FF staffing is based on 3 PT
FF per day, 5 days a week for 52 weeks. Therefore, the increased budgetary impact would be
$13,720 per year to staff a fourth PT FF on holidays and compensate all 4 PT FF at time and a
half compensation for hours worked on holiday.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is seeking Council direction on staffing part-time Duty Crew firefighters on City observed
holidays. If Council directs staff to schedule part-time Duty Crew firefighters on holidays,
Human Resource personnel will draft the needed revision to the City Personnel Policy to submit
for approval at the August 12, 2024 Council meeting.

Thank You'.
We want to recognize the City Council for their past
support of the Park and Trail Improvement Fund.
w One-time commitment of $500,000 in 2018.
m Ongoing annual contributions
wapprox. $60,000 to 90,000/yr.
w So far, the P&TI F has funded
w6 playground replacements,
w2 critical trail segments, and
w9 tennis/pickleball courts.

Background
� Over the years Lino Lakes has
developed a very large and
dispersed Parks and Trail System
r
1
'hat was heavily shaped by�
r J
ma decentralized neighborhood
first" philosophy and
ma "development -driven" funding �
model. -
mWhile this minimized City funds for
development, it provided no funds for
future replacement and upgrades!
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council
.
6/3/2024
Background
Due to limited (undesignated)
funding we have fallen far behind
on replacements and upgrades of
our existing park assets.
Currently this includes
w9 playgrounds between 21 and 31 yrs old,
w6 hard courts >20 yrs old, along with
waged shelters and hockey rinks.
wAlso, for many of our parks, the
original Master Plans were never fully
executed.
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council 6/3/2024
Background
Our residents' park and recreation
expectations are ever -changing.
There is a growing movement for larger
more comprehensive, inclusive, and
expensive destination parks.
w Scenic trails are highly valued.
To maintain a current, viable, and
sustainable Parks and Trail System.,
we must be prepared to innovate
and reimagine our system.
We will need to stretch our resources by
strengthening our external partnerships.
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council 6/3/2024
Key Points Regarding for Our Anal ysis
� This analysis focuses on current park and trail asset
replacements and upgrades;
It does not include normal day-to-day operations,
maintenance, and repair.
,This analysis was done in 2025 dollars;
w Includes a 2% inflationary adjustment for future assets.
w As new assets are added to the system, the annual cost
for replacement and upgrades will clearly need to go up.
� We apologize for how long it took to bring this
review to your attention!
We just needed time to confirm the data, complete our
analysis, and develop realistic recommendations.
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council 6/3/2024
Setting the Stage (in theory @ 30,000 ft)
Current Park Assets
We have 22 parks with current
hard assets (park features &
internal trails) worth more than
$5,t000t0000
m Based on national guidelines and
local experience for typical
replacement cycles, this would
suggest we should budget about
4% (or $200,000) annually to
replace and/or upgrade our
current park assets.
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council
6/3/2024
Setting the Stage (in theory @ 30,000 ft)
w Current Trail Assets
m We have almost 27 miles of
community trails (external to our
designated parks) that are worth
more than $9,000,000.
w Based on typical replacement
cycles and local experience, it
would suggest that we should
budget about 3% or $270,000
annually to replace and/or
upgrade the current trail system.

Summary from the Parks and Trail Asset spreadsheet
w As of today, the total "past due" is $1,,292.,000.
wThat is approximately $178/LL household
wSince a one-time catch-up is not practical, these costs will
likely need to be spread out over 5 to 10 years.

1 B. Catching Up - Missing Park Assets
Using our current park master
plans we identified $4,725.,000
in unfunded park assets.
These have been included in the
% Park Dedication Fee (PDF) Study
Undoubtedly., it would be
prudent to review and update
the older master plans!
The PDF would provide an
opportunity to fill in critical
missing assets.

2A. Maintaining the Status Quo -Parks
Once "past due" park assets have been brought up-to-
date, the Parks and Trail Asset spreadsheet can be used to
calculate the average annual cost for ongoing park asset
replacements and upgrades.
w Based on all current and "catch-up"assets, this would be about
$180,000/year.
N That is approximately $25/LL household or 1.25% of the current levy.

2B. Maintaining the Status Quo -Trails
Similarly, once the "past due"
trails have been brought up to
date, we can use typical life
expectancy and replacement
osts to determine average
annual cost to maintain current
assets.
These costs have been included in
the Park Dedication Fee (PDF) Study.

3C. Funds for a Vibrant Park & Trail System
The previous conversation has been
focused entirely on "catching up" and
"maintaining the status quo" for park
and trail investments of the past.
7 However, to maintain a current, vibrant,
and sustainable Parks and Trails System
for our community, there should be
flexible annual funding to "enhance"
our Parks and Trail System with
contemporary features and amenities.
Based on this analysis and our past
experiences, we believe this amount should
be $50,000 to $100,000 per year.

Develop a "nature -focused" destination park that
complements the natural features of the Rice Creek
Chain of Lakes and assets of Rice Lake Elementary.
w add a small inclusive playground, shelter, and dock;
w upgrade picnic sites, parking lot, and trails.
Continue to invest in Tower Park
w Develop as an "active recreation" destination park
w add a large "inclusive" playground and
wadd large shelter and full -court basketball.
Potential Additions/Upgrades to Sunrise Park

Final Thoughts for Your Consideration
� 1. Please support the proposed Park Dedication Fee to
help fill in missing park and trail assets and adequately
build out our system as new developments come online.
We especially like the idea that a portion of the PDF goes
beyond the immediate development to support community -
wide trails and destination parks.
� 2. Based on
designated
this detailed analysis, we are asking for a
"Catch -Up
ro replace or upgrade
current Parks and Trail
Plan" of approximately $1..300..000
out of date assets within our
System.
We recommend $275,000/yr for the next 5 years to prevent
falling further behind and avoiding future cost escalations.

Final Thoughts for Your Consideration
w3. We would recommend an annual general fund
allocation for parks and trails of:
m$180,000/yr to maintain the "status quo" of our current park
& internal trail assets along with
m$75,000/yr of discretionary "enhancement" funds to meet
emerging needs within our Parks and Trail system.
w4. We
would ask the Council to
consider
designating
1/3 of
any general fund surplus
dollars to
the Park and
Trail Improvement Fund:
wTo accelerate completion of the "catch plan" and support
any critical or emerging needs in our parks and trail system.
Presentation to the Lino Lakes City Council 6/3/2024
What if this level of funding isn't possible?
w We would look to the Council for guidance to articulate
new models for the development and funding of our
Parks and Trail System.
w We strongly believe that funding levels less than what
we have recommended will lead to:
w Serious downsizing of our current system by ...
w removing unsafe or severely outdated park and trail assets
w expanding our typical park service areas, and
wreducing trails and amenities.
w We would need to concentrate future park assets into our larger
neighborhood parks.
w We would need to migrate many of our smaller neighborhood
parks towards open space only.
