CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 1H
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Meg Sawyer, Human Resources and Communications Manager
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2025
TOPIC: Public Purpose Expenditures Policy
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to approve the updated City’s Public Purpose Expenditures
Policy.
BACKGROUND
As a public entity, the City of Lino Lakes is obligated to ensure that all expenditures of public
funds comply with the Minnesota Constitution, Article X, Section 1, which mandates that public
funds be used for "public purposes."
The City acknowledges that public funds may only be expended when the expenditure: (1)
serves a clearly defined public purpose; and (2) is directly related to the governmental functions
for which the City was established.
This policy serves as a guide for determining which expenditures constitute acceptable public
purposes and are authorized within the City's annual budget process. It also clarifies
expenditures that do not fall within the definition of "public purpose" and are therefore
prohibited. (See also Minn. Stat. § 15.46 and Minn. Stat. § 365.10, subd. 12.)
The proposed policy amendments would not have an impact on the City’s 2025 adopted budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Please approve the updated Public Purpose Expenditures Policy.
ATTACHMENTS
Public Purpose Expenditures Policy
City of Lino Lakes
Public Purpose Expenditure Policy
Adopted January 13, 2025
As a taxpayer-funded organization, the City of Lino Lakes (“City”) is committed to controlling
expenditures and ensuring adherence to the Minnesota Public Purpose Doctrine based on the
Minnesota State Constitution, Article X Section 1.
Purpose
The City recognizes that public funds may only be spent if the expenditure meets a public
purpose, and the expenditure relates to the governmental purpose for which the City was
created. The meaning of “public purpose” is constantly evolving. The Minnesota Supreme Court
has followed a broad approach and has generally concluded that “public purpose” means an
activity that meets all of the following standards:
• The activity will primarily benefit the community as a body
• The activity is directly related to functions of government
• The activity does not have as its primary objective the benefit of a private interest
whether profit or not-for-profit
This policy is intended to provide guidelines regarding which expenditures are for public
purposes and authorized in accordance with the City’s annual budget process, and which
expenditures are not considered to fall within the public purpose definition and are therefore
not allowed (see also Minn. Stat. § 15.46 and Minn. Stat. § 365.10, subd. 12).
Policy
Expenditures of public funds must comply with the public purpose standards defined above.
When reviewing an expenditure to verify the standards have been met, the following should be
considered:
• The time of day the event is held
• The business purpose of the event
• The frequency of the event
• The reasonableness of the cost
• The availability of funds/resources
• Whether the event was intended to attract non-City employees
The following guidelines address specific examples of public expenditures, but the examples are
not meant to be all-inclusive.
Meals and Refreshments
Use of City funds in reasonable amounts for meals and/or refreshments for elected and
appointed city officials and employees is permitted for situations in which City business needs
to be discussed during meal hours. In addition, use of City funds is permitted for public and
employee meetings and events in which reasonable meals and/or refreshments may be
necessary to create a more productive environment and to be responsive to participants’ time
schedules. The following items are deemed to meet the definition of public purpose
expenditure for meals and refreshments:
a) Non-routine city council, board and commission meetings held during or adjacent to
a meal hour, when it is the only practical time to meet.
b) City-sponsored training or work-related meetings where employees are required to
participate or be available during meal or break periods (e.g. Annual Benefits
Meeting, Workplace Safety Training).
c) Employee engagement functions (e.g. Spring Clean-Up Day, Employee Appreciation
Events)
d) Gatherings for employee retirements and outgoing councilmembers.
e) Gatherings following public safety swearing in ceremonies.
f) Election day(s) which requires continuous service and it is not possible to break for
meals.
g) Food and refreshments associated with official City functions serve a public purpose
when the provision of food or refreshments is an integral part of the function and is
deemed necessary to ensure meaningful participation by the participants. This
includes City sponsored community engagement events and events of a community-
wide interest where staff are required to be present (e.g., Night To Unite, Safety
Camp, Rookery Activity Center events and programs).
Recognition and Wellness
Public expenditures for appropriate recognition programs serve a public purpose because
formally recognizing employees, volunteers, and elected officials who make significant
contributions and demonstrate their commitment during the performance of their duties
results in higher morale and productivity, and therefore helps the City fulfill its responsibilities
to the community more efficiently and more cost effectively.
In addition, appropriate safety, health, and wellness programs for City employees serve a public
purpose because they result in healthier and more productive employees and reduce certain
costs to the City and the taxpayers of Lino Lakes.
The following items are deemed to meet the definition of public purpose expenditure for
recognition and wellness:
a) $600 provided annually for awards in the amount of $25 in value in recognition of an
employee having provided excellent service and value to the City by going above and
beyond through hard work, initiative, customer service, or innovation.*
b) Employees retiring** from the City with a minimum of ten years of service will
receive a monetary gift valued at $100 on their last paycheck.*
c) $300 provided annually for prizes, refreshments, and promotional healthy snacks for
employees participating in wellness events.
d) Volunteer recognition dinner (e.g. Police Reserve Officers).
e) Recognition plaque to outgoing mayor, councilmembers, and board members.
*Will be represented on the employee’s paycheck subject to income and FICA withholding taxes.
** Retirement, for the purpose of this policy, shall be defined as meeting the qualifications for
retirement under the rules of the Minnesota Public Employee Retirement Association (PERA).
Prohibited Expenditures
Use of City funds for the following is prohibited:
1. Alcoholic beverages and cannabis products
2. Food and refreshments for routine work meetings
3. Employee functions or celebrations that are solely social in nature (e.g. birthdays)
4. Employee-sponsored fundraising events
5. Funeral flower arrangements upon death of a relative

At the January 6, 2025 City Council Work Session, the City Council reviewed and forwarded for

BACKGROUND
The 2023 budget included a capital police fleet replacement budget of $60,610 per unit to
replace four retiring police units. At that time the department placed an order for three Tahoe
vehicles with North Country GM. The order was delayed to 2024 due to a significant
manufacturing delay. There was a resulting cost increase for both the vehicles and cost to fully
equip each unit. The current price is $50,067 per unit and $22,133.13 per unit equipment cost
for a total of $72,700 per unit. The total increase is $36,270 for three vehicles over the 2023
budgeted amount. It is being requested this evening that the police fleet capital budget be
amended to cover this cost. The alternative would have been to cancel the order as a price hold
was not available between the model years.

Motion to amend the 2023 Police Fleet Capital amount for three Tahoe’s to $72,700 per unit,

BACKGROUND
On December 9, 2024, the City Council passed Resolution No. 24-157 approving the preliminary
plat for Spargur Estates. The Council staff report and resolution detail the project’s consistency
with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and compliance with the City Code for zoning and
subdivision requirements.
Planning & Zoning Board
On December 11, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the Spargur Estates final plat
and made the following findings of fact:
Per Section 1001.057 Review, Approval or Denial:
(1) The Planning and Zoning Board shall consider the final plat and the Community
Development Department shall forward the Planning and Zoning Board recommendations to
the City Council. The following requirements shall be met before consideration of the final plat
by the Planning and Zoning Board:
(a) The final plat shall substantially conform to the approved preliminary plat and phasing
plan;
The final plat substantially conforms with the preliminary plat.
(b) For plats that consist solely of individual single family residential lots, final plat
applications for subsequent phases shall not be approved until building permits have
been issued for 40% of lots in the preceding phase. This division applies only when the
preceding phase consists of 40 or more lots; and
This is a three (3) lot single family residential subdivision and will be platted in one (1) phase.
(c) Conditions attached to approval of the preliminary plat shall be substantially fulfilled or
secured by the development agreement, as appropriate.
The conditions of the preliminary plat have been substantially fulfilled. Securities will be
required with a Development Agreement.
Public Land Dedication
The proposed subdivision is within the Highland Meadow Park neighborhood service area. The

development is not within the greenway system. Arlo Lane is identified as a future trail corridor
that is proposed to extend from Highland Meadows Park to Woodduck Trail and eventually to
4th Avenue.
The City will require cash in lieu of land dedication for the two (2) new lots. Lot 1 with the
existing house will not be charged a park dedication fee.
Park Dedication Fees
Total # of Lots = 2
x 2025 Park Dedication Fee $3,500
= Total Due $7,000

______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to approve a purchase agreement for the

BACKGROUND
The City has been working on the establishment of a wetland bank on approximately 138 acres

identified in the City’s Natural Resource Revolving Fund Plan, completed in 2017.
Implementation of the plan is included as a key strategy for open space preservation and
stewardship in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Purchase of the property also provides required
right-of-way for the Otter Lake Road extension project and future improvements to 24th
Avenue/Elmcrest.
The City has reached agreement with the property owners on a base purchase price of
$2,425,000. The City Attorney has prepared a Purchase Agreement for approval and execution
by both parties. The terms of the agreement include:
• The City will purchase the 138.57 acres in the amount of $2,425,000.00. To this amount
will be added interest calculated at 5% APR from December 31, 2024, to the date of
closing.
• Seller is responsible for payment of all deferred special assessments levied against the
property. The City is responsible for interest accrued from December 31, 2024, to the
date of closing.
2
• Closing is proposed for June 30, 2025. Closing may happen any time prior to that date.
The City may extend the closing date two times by sixty (60) days.
• Property taxes on the property will be prorated by Seller and Buyer as of the closing
date. The City will be responsible for green acres restoration fees if applicable.
• City is responsible for any crop damage occurring after April 1, 2025, because of any City
work on the property. Rental income will be prorated between Seller and Buyer based on
the date of closing.
• City will deposit $10,000 in earnest money as of the effective date of the agreement.
Earnest money is refundable if agreement terminated for causes outlined in the agreement,
including objections to title, survey, testing, or inspections raised during the inspection
period.
• The agreement is contingent on the City obtaining approval of a Mitigation Plan from the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and Army Corps of Engineers for
establishment of a wetland bank on the site.
Funding for the purchase will be provided from an interfund loan and prior wetland credit sale
revenue from the surface water management fund. Proceeds from sale of land and wetland
banking credits will repay the interfund loan.

VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council authorization to a contract with WSB and Associates to update
the I-35E Corridor AUAR.
BACKGROUND
The I-35E Corridor Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is an environmental review
document that analyzed potential impacts of development within a study area of 4,660 acres.
The final document was originally adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council on October 24, 2005.
The AUAR serves as a substitute environmental review. If a development project is consistent
with the assumptions of the analyses in the AUAR, no additional environmental review is
required. To remain valid as a substitute form of environmental review, the AUAR must be
revised under certain criteria. One of the criteria is the passing of five years.
The AUAR serves as both an important economic development tool as well as a comprehensive
framework for mitigating possible environmental impacts of development. The AUAR was last
updated in May of 2020. Since that time new development has taken place within the corridor
including Otter Crossing commercial development, LTC expansion, and multiple phases of the
Watermark. Additionally, the update will allow for the City to accommodate any considerations
to further facilitate the Minnesota Technology Corridor along 35E.
WSB and Associates have prepared a proposal to complete the update in the amount of $25,572.
Funding for this project is included in the Professional Services line item of the Economic
Development, Planning and Zoning and Engineering budgets as well as the Water, Sanitary, and
Surface Water Management funds. The City does collect an AUAR fee of $325 per acre for all new
development within the corridor to offset the administrative costs associated with the document.

Memorandum
To: Mike Grochala, City of Lino Lakes
CC: Diane Hankee, City of Lino Lakes From: Alison Harwood, WSB
Date: November 8, 2024
Re: Scope of Work for I-35E Corridor AUAR Update
The City of Lino Lakes is seeking to update its I-35E Corridor AUAR. To remain valid as the
environmental review document for the area, the AUAR needs to be updated every five years until development has received approval. The AUAR was originally completed in 2005. Updates have been completed in 2010, 2015, and 2020.
Project Background The original AUAR was completed in 2005. In 2020, a comprehensive update was completed
which included an adjustment to development scenarios and an updated traffic study. Two scenarios were studied: Scenario 1 included the land uses as outlined in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Scenario 2 which had a higher residential and commercial land use. Updates to the stormwater and water/wastewater analysis were also completed based on the
updated land uses/densities in the proposed development scenarios. The 2020 AUAR Update was adopted in May 2020; thus, environmental coverage for the study
area will expire in May 2025 unless a new update is completed. The scope of work outlined below
describes tasks related to the proposed 2025 AUAR Update.
Scope of Work for AUAR Update
Task 1 – Project Management and Meetings This task includes the project management and meetings to be completed throughout the
development of the AUAR Update. This includes two virtual meetings with city staff; one meeting
with the environmental board, and one meeting with the City Council.
Task 2 – Review Development Scenarios The development scenarios will be reviewed based on the current, adopted Comprehensive Plan and any anticipated development in the study area. It is anticipated that the Scenarios reviewed
as part of the 2020 AUAR Update will remain valid and no new Scenarios will be necessary. This
task will also evaluate what development has occurred within the study area since the last Update.
Task 3 – Prepare List of Permits/Approvals
This item will be developed per the AUAR requirements and list the local, state, and federal permits and approvals that may be needed for development.
Task 4 – Evaluate Geology, Soils, and Topography
This task includes describing the geology, soils, and topography of the study area. Available public information sources and GIS will be used to develop this section. If additional information is
November 8, 2024 Page 2
G:\.Clients All\Lino Lakes\Proposals\2024 35E Area AUAR Update\MEMO - 35E AUAR Update Scope of Work.docx
available based on past studies of the project area, that will be included. If these features would
create unique environmental impacts, that will be discussed in this section.
Task 5 – Evaluate Project Impact on Water Resources This task covers an analysis for surface water, groundwater, wastewater, stormwater, and water
appropriation for the two development scenarios. Recent past studies that WSB has completed will be used to inform this section.
Information about wetlands will be obtained through the existing wetland delineation
information and readily available desktop data, such as the National Wetland Inventory.
For the stormwater analysis, WSB will prepare a planning level stormwater analysis for the scenarios. This will include general analysis of before and after conditions as well
as requirements for stormwater management based on MPCA, City, and Watershed District requirements. This analysis will also evaluate what stormwater improvements have been
implemented in the study area since the last Update.
For groundwater, existing soils mapping and groundwater information from the USGS will be used to analyze impacts to susceptible groundwater features in relation to proposed land use.
WSB will analyze the proposed water use and wastewater generation based on the two
development scenarios, recent studies that WSB has completed, and implementation of utility improvements in the study area. This will be reviewed in relation to the municipal system’s ability
to serve the area.
Task 6 – Review of Contamination / Hazardous Wastes Available studies and information will be used to complete this section of the Update. If the
scenarios include the potential for hazardous wastes to be stored or generated within the project area, that will be included in this section as well.
Task 7 – Review of Fish and Wildlife
Information from past site visits and the DNR Natural Heritage Database will be used to describe and evaluate wildlife impacts to the area. From the existing information and the field review, the
impact of the development scenarios on these resources will be summarized in the Update.
Task 8 – Review of Historic Properties, Visual Impacts, and Parks Information from the City, State Historical Preservation Office, and the readily available public
data will be used to determine if there are impacts to historic properties or parks or if there will be visual impacts. Based on our understanding of the site and proposed development, we do not
expect there will be visual impacts per the AUAR guidelines. This information will be used to complete the AUAR Update.
Task 9 – Traffic Analysis
An updated traffic study was completed for the Scenarios in 2020 and will be used to inform this update. Other studies completed in the area and the implementation of roadway improvements
will also be included in the Update. No new traffic analysis is expected.
Task 10 – Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, and Noise Analysis Updates to the noise analysis are not anticipated and reference to the original AUAR will be made
in the Update.
In 2023, the EQB published guidance for completing climate and greenhouse gas emissions analysis into environmental review documents. This Update will include analysis of the potential
November 8, 2024 Page 3
G:\.Clients All\Lino Lakes\Proposals\2024 35E Area AUAR Update\MEMO - 35E AUAR Update Scope of Work.docx
greenhouse gas emissions produced by development within the site, evaluate how climate may
impact future development, and outline strategies to promote sustainability.
Task 11 – Prepare and Submit AUAR Update This task includes compiling the information prepared in the previous tasks into the AUAR Update
using the EAW form. This task assumes one round of review and revision with City. Once distribution of the AUAR Update has been authorized by the City, the Update will be submitted to
the required agencies for a 10-day review.
Task 12 – Respond to Comments and Adopt AUAR Update If no objections are filed, the City can adopt the AUAR Update. This task includes responding to
comments and preparing the Council Packet items for AUAR Update adoption. This task assumes a typical level of agency comments. If comments are received that require additional
analysis, this will be discussed with the city. The final Update with responses to comments will be submitted to the agencies after Council adoption.
Cost Estimate
The costs to complete the above work plan for the AUAR Update is $25,572. Once authorized,
we can develop a schedule to complete the work based on the city’s timelines, with the intent of
adoption of the Updated AUAR in May 2025.
This memo represents our entire understanding of the project scope. If the scope and fee appear to be appropriate, please sign on the space provided and return one copy to our office and we will
coordinate the contract documents. If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (612) 360-1320.
ACCEPTANCE:
The City of Lino Lakes hereby accepts the WSB proposal of $25,572 for services outlined in this
memo.
